Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs an effect for allowing a player to recognize a winning aspect when winning a winning lottery.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine that is a type of gaming machine, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied. In the symbol variation game, in order to make the player recognize the lottery result of the winning lottery (big hit lottery), it is an effect that derives the result of whether or not it is a win. In the symbol variation game, various effects are performed in order to improve the interest of the player. Among such effects, for example, there is a reach effect in which symbols in a specific column are derived with the same symbol to form a reach state, and then symbols are derived in the remaining columns. In the reach production, when winning a win in the winning lottery, a winning combination is derived by deriving the same symbol as the symbol forming the reach state so that the player recognizes the winning. On the other hand, in the reach production, if the winning lottery is not won, the different symbol combinations are derived by deriving the symbols different from the symbols forming the reach state, and the player recognizes the deviation. Yes. Therefore, if the reach state is formed in the symbol variation game, the player pays attention to whether a jackpot symbol combination is derived or an outlier symbol combination is derived in the reach effect.

  The recent pachinko machines are provided with a probability variation function for shifting the lottery probability state of the winning lottery from the low probability lottery state to the high probability lottery state after the winning game is completed. In a pachinko machine equipped with a probability variation function, the symbols used in the symbol variation game are classified in order to allow the player to recognize whether he / she has won a probable big hit or a non-probable big win. Specifically, it is classified into a specific symbol that can form a jackpot symbol combination for recognizing a probable variation jackpot and a non-specific symbol that can form a jackpot symbol combination for recognizing a non-probable variation jackpot. For this reason, when the symbol variation game starts, the player also pays attention to the types of symbols that can form the reach state (whether they are specific symbols or non-specific symbols), and the reach state is formed by the specific symbols. If you do, you will increase your expectation for a promising big hit. Conventionally, in a pachinko machine equipped with a probability variation function, in order to correct the difference in jackpot reliability that can be discriminated from the type of symbol that forms the reach state, the case where the reach state is formed with a specific symbol is not It has been proposed to set the same jackpot reliability when a reach state is formed with a specific symbol (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2001-252419 A

  By the way, in the recent pachinko gaming machine 10, various types of hits are prepared. For example, in addition to the probable big hit and non-probable big hits as described above, in order to bring about a change in the number of winning balls that a player can acquire during a big hit game, Jackpots for changing the number of times and the opening time), jackpots for changing the period for applying the probability variation state and the variation time reduction state, and the like are prepared. In the pachinko gaming machine having such various winning modes, the player strongly desires to win the most advantageous jackpot. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine having such various winning modes, when the technique of Patent Document 1 is adopted, only a sense of expectation as to whether or not it will be a promising big hit can be given to the player. It was not possible to achieve a production that responded to the things that people wanted to know (whether they had won the big jackpot or not).

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and the purpose of the present invention is to win any aspect from the development of symbols that can form a reach state and symbol variation games. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the interest by causing a player to assume whether or not there is a possibility of doing so.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the invention according to claim 1 provides a hit mode recognition effect that allows a player to recognize the winning mode when winning in a lottery. In the gaming machine to be executed, the winning mode has an advantage set according to the type of privilege granted to the player, and the winning mode recognition effect is obtained by changing a plurality of types of symbols. In addition to the symbol variation game to be performed, the effect of the symbol variation game includes reach variation that forms a reach state by deriving the same symbol in a plurality of specific columns after the symbol variation game is started, The recognition effect has a plurality of branch effect contents determined according to the winning mode, and after the reach state is formed in the symbol variation game, it is divided into the branch effect contents according to the winning mode that is won. By setting the selection rate of symbols that can form the reach state for each branch effect content, the hit mode recognition effect is executed with any branch effect content for each symbol. Then, it is possible to assume whether the winning mode with high advantage is won or not. In the symbol variation game, a branch selection effect is executed after the reach state is formed, and a plurality of branch effect contents include the branch selection effect. The first branch effect content group configured by the branch effect content executed when the effect result becomes the first branch result, and the branch effect content executed when the effect result of the branch selection effect becomes the second branch result The first branch effect content group is set to a high probability lottery state with the probability of winning in the winning lottery after the winning game as the winning mode. On the other hand, the second branch effect content group has a high probability of winning in the winning lottery after the winning game as the winning mode. The branch effect that is executed when winning in the lottery state and the probability of winning in the winning lottery after the winning game is won as the winning mode. Each branch effect content is composed of a common effect unit shared by the branch effect contents belonging to the same group and a notification effect unit for notifying the winning mode. In the case where the effect of the branch selection effect is the first branch result, the ball entering means that allows the game ball to enter during the winning game is determined from the symbol forming the reach state. Make up lounge It is possible to assume whether or not there is a high possibility of an advantageous opening operation for the player during the game, and when the effect of the branch selection effect is the second branch result, a pattern that forms a reach state Therefore, in addition to whether or not there is a high possibility of entering a high-probability lottery state, the gist of the present invention is that it is possible to assume whether or not the entrance means is likely to open advantageously .

  According to the present invention, it is possible to improve interest by causing a player to assume which aspect may be won based on the development of a symbol that can form a reach state and a symbol variation game. Can do.

Yes. With this guide rail 20, a game ball guide path 20 a extending from the lower left to the upper left of the game board YB is formed on the game board YB, and a game area H 1 is formed inside the guide rail 20. . Further, the outside of the game area H1, which is the front surface of the game board YB and outside the guide rail 20, is a non-game area H2 that is not directly involved in the pachinko game.

  Various display devices and a display frame body (center accessory) 21 with various decorations are mounted almost at the center (center) of the game area H1 of the game board YB. In the approximate center of the display frame 21, an opening 21a for setting (mounting) an effect display device (display means) 22 having a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH is formed. The effect display device 22 includes a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are images. It is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a 7-segment special symbol display device 23 is provided in the lower left game area H <b> 1 of the display frame 21. In the special symbol display device 23, a symbol variation game is displayed in which a plurality of types of special symbols are varied and displayed. The special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) whether or not the big hit.

  Then, in the special symbol display device 23, the variation display of the special symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the effect display device 22 starts displaying the decorative symbols at the same time when the symbol variation game is started. The decorative symbols are temporarily stopped before the game is ended, and the decorative symbols in each column are confirmed at the end of the game. Stopped display. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area of the display device that displays the symbol is changing. It is the state displayed in the state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the special symbol display device 23 and the effect display device 22, a display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decorative symbol are displayed at a fixed stop).

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 23 selects one special symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery (big hit lottery and small hit lottery) from a plurality of types of special symbols, and the selected special symbol is displayed. The symbol is displayed as a fixed stop when the symbol variation game ends. Multiple types of special symbols are 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to jackpot display results) that can recognize jackpots, and four types of small jackpot symbols (results of small hits display) that can recognize jackpots )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. When the winning symbol (big hit symbol and small hit symbol) is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a winning game (big hit game and small hit game). The winning game of this embodiment will be described later in detail.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 displays a plurality of types of decorative symbols for each column (variable display, temporary stop display, and fixed stop display). In this embodiment, the display area (image display surface) of the effect display device 22 is formed to be much larger than the display area of the special symbol display device 23 so that the effect display device 22 stands out in front of the player. It is arranged. 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. The winning combination (big hit and small hit) or off is recognized from the symbol combination that is derived and displayed in a fixed stop.

  When the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped 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 (for example, [222] [777]). The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (decorative jackpot symbol (decoration display result)) of the ornament 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 different symbols, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( For example, deviations from [123] [122] [767] and the like can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize this deviation is a symbol combination that is out of the decoration symbol (decoration symbol of the ornament symbol (displacement display result)). When a predetermined symbol combination (for example, [123]) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that either the big hit or the small hit is won. Probability suggestion that the combination of symbols that can recognize that either the big win or the small win is won, the probability variation state (probability variation state) that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery becomes a high probability lottery state may be given. It becomes the symbol combination.

  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. Then, when the left symbol and the right symbol that are once stopped and displayed are the same symbol, the reach can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). The reach is temporarily displayed as decorative symbols in a specific column (left column and right column in this embodiment) among a plurality of columns, and columns other than the specific column (middle column in this embodiment) are temporarily displayed. This is a state in which the decorative design of is variably displayed. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach is 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 where the decorative symbols are first temporarily stopped and displayed is the first stop display column, and then the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. The column becomes the second stop display column, and finally, the middle column that temporarily displays the decorative symbols is the third stop display column.

  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 hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 23, the big hit symbol combinations such as [222] and [444] are also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 22. . 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. .

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability changing function is a function for giving a probability changing state in which the lottery probability state (winning probability state) of the big hit lottery changes from the low probability lottery state to the high probability lottery state after the big hit game ends. The probability variation state is given until the next jackpot is generated. When the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning the lottery is changed to a high probability lottery state, and it is easy for the jackpot to be generated. While playing games.

  In the present embodiment, a jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the big hit game is a probability variation big hit, and a jackpot that is not given a probability variation state (that is, a non-probability variation state is given) after the big hit game is a non-probability big hit. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, among 100 types of special symbol jackpot designs, 77 types of special symbols are set as special symbols (specific symbols) that are probable big hits, and 23 types of special symbols It is set to a special symbol (non-specific symbol) that becomes a non-probable big hit.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, among the decorative symbols displayed on the effect display device 22, the big winning symbol combination constituted by the predetermined decorative symbols determines the probability variation big winning (big winning A described later). This is set as a symbol combination of probability variation that can be recognized in a realistic manner (a jackpot symbol of probability variation confirmation). On the other hand, among the decorative symbols displayed on the effect display device 22, the jackpot symbol combination constituted by the decorative symbols other than the decorative symbol that can constitute the symbol combination capable of recognizing the probability variable jackpot is the probability variation big hit and the non-probable big hit. It is set as a symbol combination of probability variation non-deterministic (a jackpot symbol of probability variation non-deterministic) that can be recognized as either.

  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 changing function shortens the change time of the normal symbol changing game, and changes the lottery probability state of the normal symbol changing game based on the passage of the normal symbol operating gate 30 from the low probability lottery state to the high probability lottery state. It is a function that gives a 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, 0) after the opening and closing blades 27 are opened for the first number of times (for example, once) and opened. .3 seconds) is kept open until it has elapsed. 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, 1.4 seconds) 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. It should be noted that the number of times the variable state is given varies depending on the type of jackpot won in the jackpot lottery and the gaming state at the time of winning.

  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. In the variable speed state (opening time increasing state), the total time for which the opening / closing blades 27 are opened per normal symbol is increased compared to the non-shortening state (opening time non-increasing state).

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The winning game is won in the winning lottery, and in the symbol changing game of the special symbol display device 23, the winning symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state and is started after the game ends. When the winning game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the winning game is first performed. After the opening effect is finished, the round game in which the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening 29 is opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of rounds as the upper limit (15 rounds or two rounds in this embodiment). One round game is until the grand prize opening door 28 of the grand prize opening 29 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times, and a predetermined number (upper limit number of balls entered) is placed in the big prize opening 29 during one round game. It is released until a game ball enters or until a specified time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the winning game is performed, and the winning game is ended.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a round notification device RH is disposed in the lower left game area H1 of the display frame 21 and between the special symbol hold storage display device Ra and the normal symbol hold storage display device Rb. Has been. The round notification device RH notifies the number of round games constituting the winning game given by the winning winning in the winning lottery. The round notification device RH of the present embodiment is composed of a plurality (three) of light emitting means (round display lamps), and notifies the number of round games that differ depending on the lighting of each round display lamp. Specifically, “15 rounds”, “2 rounds”, and “1 round (small hit)” are notified as the number of round games. Although not shown in FIG. 2, in the round notification device RH, the position corresponding to each round display lamp that notifies “15 rounds” and “2 rounds” has a notation indicating the number of rounds (for example, “ 15 ”and“ 2 ”).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from among the eight types of big hits shown in FIG. It is like that. Which of the eight types of jackpots is to be determined is determined according to the type of special symbol (jacket symbol) determined when the jackpot lottery is won. For determining the special symbol (big hit symbol), a special symbol distribution random number, which will be described later, is used, and the special symbol is selected based on the extracted value of the special symbol distribution random number.

  In the present embodiment, the special symbol ZA, special symbol ZB, special symbol ZC, special symbol ZD, special symbol ZE, special symbol ZF, special symbol ZG, and special symbol are selectable when the big hit lottery is won. The symbols belong to eight groups of ZH. In this embodiment, the special symbol ZA has 33 types of jackpot symbols, the special symbol ZB has 8 types of jackpot symbols, the special symbol ZC has 6 types of jackpot symbols, and the special symbol ZD has 5 types of jackpot symbols. belong to. In this embodiment, the special symbol ZE has 20 types of jackpot symbols, the special symbol ZF has 5 types of jackpot symbols, the special symbol ZG has 17 types of jackpot symbols, and the special symbol ZH has 6 types of jackpot symbols. belong to. In the present embodiment, for each special symbol belonging to the group consisting of these special symbols ZA to ZH, a random number value for special symbol distribution (in this embodiment, all 100 integer values from 0 to 99). ) Are distributed by a predetermined number (one by one in the present embodiment).

  Specifically, there are 33 random numbers for the 33 types of jackpot symbol belonging to the special symbol ZA, and 8 random numbers for the 8 types of jackpot symbol belonging to the special symbol ZB. Six random numbers are assigned to the types of jackpot symbols, and five random numbers are assigned to the five types of jackpot symbols belonging to the special symbol ZD. In addition, 20 random numbers are assigned to the 20 types of jackpot symbols belonging to the special symbol ZE, 17 random numbers are assigned to the 5 types of jackpot symbols belonging to the special symbol ZF, and 17 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the special symbol ZG. Are assigned 17 random values, and 6 kinds of jackpot symbols belonging to the special symbol ZH are each assigned 6 random numbers. According to this distribution, the ratio of the big jackpots of special symbols ZA to ZD is 33% (33/100) for jackpots of special symbol ZA, 8% (8/100) for jackpots of special symbol ZB, special symbols The jackpot of ZC is 6% (6/100) and the jackpot of special design ZD is 5% (5/100). In addition, the ratio of the big hits of the special symbols ZE to ZH is 20% (20/100) for the big bonuses of the special symbol ZE, 5% (5/100) for the big bonuses of the special symbol ZF, and the big hit of the special symbol ZG 17% (17/100), special symbol ZH jackpot is 6% (6/100).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, 77 types of special symbols belonging to the special symbols ZA to ZF are special symbols that are probable big hits, while belonging to the special symbols ZG and ZH. Twenty-three kinds of special symbols are used as special symbols that are non-probable big hits. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, 77% (33% + 8% + 6% + 5% + 20% + 5%) of the entire jackpot is a probable large hit, and 23% (17% + 6%) of the entire jackpot is non-probable. A big hit.

  In the following description, the big hit based on the special symbol ZA is “big hit A”, the big hit based on the special symbol ZB is “big hit B”, the big hit based on the special symbol ZC is “big hit C”, and the big hit based on the special symbol ZD is “Big hit D” is shown respectively. The big hit based on the special symbol ZE is “big hit E”, the big hit based on the special symbol ZF is “big hit F”, the big hit based on the special symbol ZG is “big hit G”, and the big hit based on the special symbol ZH is “big hit H”. , Respectively. The small hit based on the special symbol ZI is indicated as “small hit I”.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpots A to D, G are won is “15 round jackpot game” in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”. In each 15 round big hit game, “6 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, and “15 (seconds)” is set as the ending effect time. In each 15 round big hit game, the upper limit number of balls for one round game is set to “8 balls”. In each 15 round jackpot game, the interval time between rounds is set to “2 (seconds)”. The interval time between rounds is the time from the end of the round game (closing of the big prize opening 29) to the start of the next round game (opening of the big prize opening 29).

  And the modes (winning mode) of the big hits A to D, G are the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery after the big hit game, the giving mode of the variable state after the big hit game, and the opening of the big winning opening 29 during the round game The aspect is different. In the present embodiment, the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game and the change state after the jackpot game correspond to the gaming state after the winning game, and the opening mode of the big prize opening 29 during the round game Corresponds to a hit game mode that affects the number of winning balls that can be obtained during a win game. Hereinafter, the modes of jackpots A to D and G will be described separately.

  In the big hit game based on the big hit A, the big winning opening 29 is opened “one time” during one round game, and the round game time of each round game is set to “25 (seconds)”. Then, after the big hit game based on the big hit A is finished, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability change state is given until the next big hit occurs, and until the end of the probability change state A variable state is given.

  In addition, the jackpot game based on the jackpot B is a “15 times” round game, in which the grand prize opening 29 is opened “once” during the 1st to 10th round games and the 12th to 15th round games, The round game time in each of these round games is set to “25 (seconds)”. On the other hand, in the eleventh round game, the grand prize opening 29 is opened “six times” and the round game time is set to “35 (seconds)”. More specifically, in the eleventh round game, after repeating the operation of opening the grand prize opening 29 for “0.3 (seconds)” five times, the grand prize opening 29 is changed to “23.5 (seconds)”. It is designed to be opened. In addition, “2 (seconds)” is set as the interval time in the round between the opening operations of the respective prize winning openings 29. As a result, the eleventh round game time is “0.3 × 5 (opening time for 5 times) + 2 × 5 (interval time for 5 rounds) +23.5 (6th opening time) = 35 (seconds) ) ”.

  After the big hit game based on the big hit B, the probability change state is given until the next big hit occurs regardless of the game state at the time of the big hit lottery win, and until the end of the probability change state. A variable state is given.

  In addition, the jackpot game based on the jackpot C, D, G is to open the grand prize opening 29 “one time” during one round game, while in the “15 times” round game, the first to tenth rounds. The round game time of the game and the round game time of the 11th to 15th round games are set to different times. More specifically, the round game time of the first to tenth round games is set to “25 (seconds)”, while the round game time of the 11th to 15th round games is set to “0.3 seconds”. Is set.

  In the jackpot C, D, G, as described above, the opening mode of the jackpot 29 during the jackpot game is the same, but the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game and the jackpot game It is set as a different setting about the provision aspect of a subsequent variable state. More specifically, after the jackpot game based on the jackpot C is over, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability change state is given until the next jackpot occurs, while the probability change state. The variable state is given until the end of. In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hit D is finished, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs, The variable state is given until the end of the number of symbol variation games. In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hit G is finished, an uncertain change state is given regardless of the gaming state at the time of the big hit lottery, but after the big hit game is finished, until the end of 100 symbol variation games A variable state is given. In other words, the jackpots C, D, and G are set to be the same for the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game ends, while the jackpots D, G for the variable state after the jackpot game ends. Are set to the same setting.

  The jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot E, F, H is won is a “two round jackpot game” in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “twice”. Each 2-round jackpot game is configured to open the grand prize winning opening 29 “2 times (2 rounds × 1 time)” during one round game. In addition, each round 2 big hit game is “0.02 (seconds)” as the opening effect time, “0.3 (seconds)” as the round game time of each round game, and “4.5 ( Sec) ”is set. In each 2-round jackpot game, the upper limit number of balls for one round game is set to “8 balls”. In addition, for each 2-round jackpot game, the interval time between rounds between round games is set to “2 (seconds)”.

The big hits E, F, and H (hit types) are different in the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery after the big hit game and the giving mode of the variable state after the big hit game.
After the big hit game based on the big hit E is over, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the big hit E is ended, a variable state is given according to the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. Specifically, if the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is “low probability + variation” and “high probability + variation”, the variation state is given until the end of the probability variation state. On the other hand, in the case of “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change”, no change state is given.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hit F is completed, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the big hit F is finished, a variable state is given according to the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. Specifically, if the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is “low probability + variation” and “high probability + variation”, after the big hit game ends, 100 symbol variation games While the variable state is provided until the end, the low state is not provided in the case of “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change”.

  In addition, after the big hit game based on the big hit H is completed, an uncertain change state is given regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. On the other hand, after the big hit game based on the big hit H is completed, a variable state is given according to the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. Specifically, if the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is “low probability + variation” and “high probability + variation”, after the big hit game ends, 100 symbol variation games While the variable state is provided until the end, the low state is not provided in the case of “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change”.

  The jackpots E, F, and H are set to be the same for the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game ends, while the jackpots F and H are the same for the variable state after the jackpot game ends. It is set to.

  The small hit game that is awarded when the small hit I is won is such that the prescribed number of rounds is “one time” and the big prize opening 29 is opened “twice” during one round game. In addition, in the small hit game, “0.02 (seconds)” is set as the opening effect time, “2.6 (0.3 + 2 + 0.3) (seconds)” is set as the round game time, and “4.5” as the ending effect time. (Seconds) "is set. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the small hit game is set to “8 balls”. In the small hit game, the in-round interval time is set to “2 (seconds)”.

  When winning a small hit, the gaming state after the end of the small hitting game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hitting lottery. In other words, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued in the probable state and the game at the time of winning the small hit lottery If the state is changed, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the changed state. Also, if you win a small hit, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in an uncertain change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game will continue to be in an uncertain change state, and at the time of winning the small hit lottery If the game state is non-variable, the game state after the small hit game is continued to the non-variable state.

  In this embodiment, when winning big hit E, F, H, the next symbol change game starts after the big hit game (2R × 1 release) from the stop of change of the symbol change game started with the win. The time until is set to the same time. Also, in this embodiment, when winning a small hit, the next symbol change game starts after the small hit game (1R × 2 times open) from the stoppage of the change of the symbol change game started with the win. Is set to the same time as when winning big hit E, F, H. The two round big hit game and the small hit game are performed with the same big winning opening 29 opened. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the two-round big hit game and the small hit game, the player cannot discriminate the difference from the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big winning opening 29. That is, the player cannot determine whether the two-round big hit game or the small hit game has been awarded based on the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening 29 or the time. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the player guesses whether or not the probability variation state is given after the end of the two round big hit game and the small hit game (whether or not the high probability lottery state). The game nature to make is created.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment includes five types of 15 round jackpot games with different hit modes and three types of two round jackpot games with different hit modes. The 15 round jackpot game and the 2 round jackpot game are different from each other in the maximum number of round games (15 times and 2 times) constituting the jackpot game, and due to the length of one round game time, There may be a difference in the number of winning balls that a player can acquire. Specifically, the 15-round jackpot game is a jackpot game that can win a larger amount of prize balls than the 2-round jackpot game.

  In addition, in the five types of 15 round jackpot games, the maximum number of round games constituting the jackpot game is set to the same number. There may be a difference in the number of winning balls. Specifically, in the big hit game based on the big hits A and B, since the round game time of 15 round games is set to the time that the upper limit number of game balls can enter, the big hit C, It is a jackpot game that can win more prize balls than the jackpot game based on D and G. That is, in the big hit game based on the big hit C, D, G, the round game time is set to the time that the maximum number of game balls can enter for the 10 round games out of the 15 round games, and the rest For five round games, the round game time is set to a time when the upper limit number of game balls cannot enter. Thus, the number of winning balls in the big hit game based on the big hit C, D, G is equivalent to the number of winning balls obtained when the upper limit number of game balls entered in the ten round games. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the game handle is fired by continuously operating the firing handle 19, the number of fired balls is adjusted to be about 100 balls per minute. Therefore, in the big hit game based on the big hit C, D, G, in the 11th to 15th round games in which the round game time is set to “0.3 (seconds)”, the game balls corresponding to the upper limit number of the winning balls are won. It is virtually impossible to enter the mouth 29.

  In addition, in the five types of 15 round jackpot games, the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 in the first round to the tenth round game is the same mode, so any winning game is performed from the opening mode of the big winning slot 29. It is impossible to determine whether it is broken. And the big hit game based on the big hit A is accompanied by the start of the eleventh round game because the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 in the eleventh round game is different from the big hit game based on the big hits B to D, G. Thus, it is possible to discriminate from the opening mode of the special winning opening 29. In addition, the jackpot game based on the jackpot B is different from the jackpot game based on the jackpot C, D, G because the opening mode of the jackpot 29 in the eleventh round game is different from the jackpot game in the eleventh round game. It becomes possible to discriminate from the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 when 29 opens the sixth time. On the other hand, the big hit game based on the big win C, D, G is distinguished from the open mode of the big prize opening 29 because the opening mode of the big prize opening 29 in the first to fifteenth round games is the same opening mode. It is impossible.

  During the big hit game, the number of rounds constituting the big hit game is notified by the round notification device RH. However, the five types of 15 round jackpot games described above are set differently as the way to open the grand prize opening 29. However, since the number of rounds is set to “15”, the round notification device RH The notification content by is also the same, and the determination from the notification content is impossible.

  In addition, the big hits A to D and G are set differently with respect to the gaming state after the big hit game given by these big hits. Specifically, the jackpots A to C are given a variable state after the jackpot game ends and until the probability change state ends, so in the game state after the jackpot game ends, This setting is more advantageous to the player than D and G. That is, the jackpot D is given a probable change state after the big hit game ends, but the short cut state is set until the end of the 100 symbol variation game, and the big hit G is given a non-probable change state after the big hit game ends. At the same time, the variable state is set until 100 symbol variation games are completed. As described above, the big wins D and G have the same opening mode of the big winning opening 29 during the big hit game, and the same grant period (maximum grant period) after the big hit game is set. It is said that. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the player is made to guess whether or not the probability variation state is given after the big hit game based on the big hits D and G (whether or not the high probability lottery state is set). It creates game characteristics.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in consideration of the opening state of the big winning opening 29 and the gaming state after the big hit game, the big hit G <hit D <hit C <hit B <hit A in order of the player. It will be positioned as an advantageous big hit (a big hit with a high degree of advantage). It should be noted that the jackpots A and B can obtain the same prize ball and the gaming state after the jackpot game is the same, so that the advantage for the player can be treated as the same. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the big hit B is a big hit set for the promotion effect that makes the player feel like a big hit with a small number of winning balls. Therefore, in this embodiment, the jackpot A is positioned as the jackpot having the highest advantage for the player. In this embodiment, the privilege given to the player is configured by the probability variation state, the variation state, the upper limit number of rounds, and the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 during the round game.

  The maximum number of round games that make up the jackpot game is the same for the three types of two round jackpot games. There are few (it is difficult to get a prize ball) big hit games. Further, the jackpots E, F, and H are set differently with respect to the gaming state after the jackpot game that is given by these jackpots. More specifically, the jackpots E and F are set to be more advantageous to the player than the jackpot H because a positive change state is given after the jackpot game ends. The big hit E is set to be more advantageous to the player than the big hits F and H because the short hit state is given until the probable change state ends if the win is given when the short break state is given. It has become.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in consideration of the opening state of the big winning opening 29 and the gaming state after the big hit game, the big hit H <hit F <hit E is positioned as a big hit that is advantageous to the player. It will be. During the big hit game, the number of rounds constituting the big hit game is notified by the round notification device RH. However, since the number of rounds is set to “2” in each of the above-described three types of 2-round jackpot games, the notification content by the round notification device RH is the same, and the determination from the notification content is impossible. It is said that.

  In addition, “Low accuracy + No change”, “Low accuracy + No change”, “High accuracy + No change”, “High accuracy + No change” shown in the “Status at the time of winning” in FIG. The four game states indicate the following states, respectively. “Low accuracy + no change” indicates a non-change change state and a non-change change state, and is “normal state” in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. The “low accuracy + no change” state is created by winning the big hit H in the “no change” state and winning the small hit I in the “low accuracy + no change” state. The state of “low probability + no change” is also created by winning the big hits G and H and ending the change state.

  “Low probability + variable” indicates a non-probable variable state and a variable state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the “low accuracy + variable” state wins a big hit G. And winning a big hit H or a small hit I in the state of “low accuracy + variable”. In addition, “high accuracy + no change” indicates a probability change state and a non-change state, and in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the “high accuracy + no change” state is “no change”. It is also created by winning the big hits E and F in the state of and winning the small hit I in the state of “high accuracy + no change”. The state of “high accuracy + no change” is also created by winning the big hit D and finishing the change state.

  In addition, “high accuracy + variation” indicates a probability variation state and a variation state, and in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the “high accuracy + variation” state is won by the big hits A to D. Produced by doing. In addition, in the state of “high accuracy + variable”, win big hits E and F in the state of “variable” and win small hit I in the state of “high accuracy + variable” Also produced by.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a notification effect for notifying the player of the winning mode (the mode of jackpot) during the jackpot game. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a plurality of types of notification effects (two types in the present embodiment) with different notification modes. Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a first notification effect is provided for notifying which of the big hits A, B, and C with different opening modes of the big winning opening 29 is won. I have. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a second notification effect is provided for notifying which of the big hits A, B, D, and G having different gaming states given after the big hit game has been won. I have. In the present embodiment, the first notification effect is a notification effect for notifying the aspect of the winning game that affects the number of winning balls that can be acquired during the winning game (big hit game), and the second notification effect is the winning game. It becomes the notification effect which notifies the gaming state after the end. In the present embodiment, the first notification effect is performed when it is determined to give a probable change state after the big hit game is finished (when the big hit A, B, C is won). On the other hand, the second notification effect is performed when it is determined to give either a probable change state or a non-probability change state after the big hit game is finished (when the big hit A, B, D, G is won). .

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, after each winning game, the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state (probability variation state) or a low probability lottery state (non-probability variation state). A plurality of (four in this embodiment) presentation modes are provided for executing a game state suggestion presentation that suggests to the player whether or not. FIG. 4 shows a transition mode of the effect mode in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect mode is shifted to another effect mode when a predetermined transition condition is established. By the transition of the effect mode, the player infers whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high-probability lottery state from the effect mode during the stay, that is, the game state suggestion effect executed in the effect mode. It is like that.

Hereinafter, the production mode of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, there are four effect modes including effect modes MA, MB, MC, and MD. These production modes are roughly classified into three categories: "probability change latency mode (probability change latency production)", "probability change latency confirmation mode (probability change latency confirmation effect)" and "probability change confirmation mode (probability change confirmation effect)". Is done.

  The “probability variation latent mode” is an effect mode in which the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery transitions to any of a low probability lottery state (non-probability variation state) and a high probability lottery state (probability variation state). During the stay in the probability variation latent mode, the player is indefinitely suggested (notified) whether the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state. In the present embodiment, the production modes MA and MD are set as the probability variation latent mode.

  The “probability variation confirmation mode” and the “probability variation confirmation mode” are production modes that shift only when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a high probability lottery state (probability variation state). The probability variation latency confirmation mode and the probability variation confirmation mode indicate whether the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a non-deterministic suggestion (notification) or a definite suggestion (notification) to the player. In this respect, the positioning as the production mode is different. In the present embodiment, the effect mode MB is set as a probability variation latency confirmation mode that suggests (notifies) the player that the probability variation state is in a deterministic manner. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the production mode MC is set as a probability change confirmation mode that definitely suggests (informs) the player that the state is a probability change state. Note that the probability variation latency mode and the probability variation latency confirmation mode are different from each other in terms of whether the transition is made in either the probability variation state or the non-probability variation state or only the probability variation state.

  In the present embodiment, the production modes MA and MB are production modes for staying when “no change”. The effect mode MA is positioned as a normal mode in which there is a possibility of staying most during the game, and the player usually starts the game from the effect mode MA. The production mode MB is positioned as a production mode that creates a latent game characteristic when “no change”, and a predetermined mode transition condition (transition opportunity) is established between the production mode MA and the production mode MB. As a result, it is possible to migrate to both. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the production modes MC and MD are production modes in which the user stays when there is “change”. The production mode MD is positioned as a production mode that creates a latent game characteristic when there is “change”, and a predetermined mode transition condition (transition opportunity) is established between the production mode MC and the production mode MD. As a result, it is possible to migrate to both.

  In the present embodiment, the production mode MA is a production mode with a low expectation level (low probability change expectation level) that has the highest possibility of staying during the game and the lowest possibility of being in a probabilistic state. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the production modes MB and MC are shifted only in the case of the probability variation state, and the production mode with a high expectation level (high probability variation expectation degree (certain variation confirmation)) that can be expected most in the production mode, Has been. In the present embodiment, the production mode MD is more likely than the production mode MA to be in a probable state, and has a medium expectation production mode in which the possibility of being in the probable state is lower than the production modes MB and MC. Has been. Note that the change in the expectation level in each effect mode is created by determining the transition destination of the effect mode according to the type of hit (15 round big hit, 2 round big hit, small hit) as will be described later. In the present embodiment, the production mode MA is the first production mode in which there is a high possibility that the lottery probability state of the winning lottery is in the low-probability lottery state, and the production mode MB is in the high-probability lottery state. It becomes the 2nd production mode with high possibility of becoming.

Hereinafter, the mode transition condition from each production mode to another production mode and the re-transition condition (continuation trigger) of the production mode will be described with reference to FIG.
In the following description, as the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10, the non-probability change state and the non-change state are “low accuracy + no change”, and the non-probability change state and the change state are “low probability + change”. In some cases, the probability variation state and the non-variation state are indicated as “high accuracy + no variation”, and the probability variation state and the variation state are denoted as “high accuracy + variation”, respectively.

First, the mode transition conditions from the production mode MA to another production mode will be described.
Transition (including re-transition) to all the production modes (production modes MA, MB, MC, MD) is permitted from the production mode MA. In other words, during the stay of the production mode MA, when the mode transition condition for maintaining “no change” is satisfied, the mode is switched again to the production mode MA or the production mode MB, and “no change” from “no change”. When the mode transition condition that accompanies the change of the game state is established, the transition is made to the effect mode MC or the effect mode MD.

  The transition from the production mode MA to the production mode MB is based on the mode transition condition of winning the big hit E in “low accuracy + no change” or “high accuracy + no change”. From the effect mode MA to the effect mode MB, after the end of the symbol variation game won in the jackpot E, the game proceeds through a two-round jackpot game. Then, if the big hit E is won in “low accuracy + no change”, the mode changes from “low accuracy + no change” to “production mode MB” with a state change from “high accuracy + no change”. . On the other hand, if the big hit E is won in “high accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change” is maintained, and the state transitions to the effect mode MB without any change in state.

  In addition, the transition from the production mode MA to the production mode MC or the production mode MD is any one of the big hits A, B, C, D, G in “low accuracy + no change” or “high accuracy + no change”. The mode transition condition is to win. From the effect mode MA to the effect mode MC or the effect mode MD, after the end of the symbol variation game winning the big hits A, B, C, D, G, the game proceeds through 15 rounds of big hit games. When the big hit A, B, C is won, the game proceeds to the effect mode MC through the 15 round big hit game, and when the big hit D, G is won, the game goes to the effect mode MD through the 15 round big hit game. When winning a big hit A, B, C, D, G in “Low accuracy + No change” or “High accuracy + No change”, the status changes from “No change” to “With change”. With the effect mode MC or effect mode MD.

  In the present embodiment, the 15 round jackpot game is classified into a plurality of types (three in this embodiment) depending on the difference in the performance mode performed during the jackpot game. Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with a special hit game, a hit game BA, and a hit game BB. The special hit game is performed when the big hit symbol combination that can be definitely recognized that the big hit A is won in the symbol change game is displayed in a definite stop display. That is, the special hit game is played only when the big hit A is won. The winning games BA and BB are performed when a big win symbol combination other than the big winning symbol combination that can definitely recognize that the big hit A has been won in the symbol changing game is displayed in a definite stop state. In this embodiment, the winning game BA is a big hit game with the first notification effect, and is performed when one of the big hits A, B, or C is won. In this embodiment, the winning game BB is a big hit game with the second notification effect, and is performed when one of the big hits A, B, D, G is won.

  In addition, the transition from the production mode MA to the production mode MA is based on the mode transition condition of winning the big hit F, H or the small hit I in “low accuracy + no change” or “high accuracy + no change”. Yes. Then, when the big hits F and H are won during the stay in the production mode MA, after the symbol variation game won for the big hits F and H ends, the game shifts again to the production mode MA through the two round big hit games. If you win the big hit F in “Low accuracy + No change”, you will re-enter the production mode MA with the status change from “Low accuracy + No change” to “High accuracy + No change” When the big hit F is won in “high accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change” is maintained, and the transition is made to the production mode MA without any state change. In addition, if the big hit H is won in “Low accuracy + No change”, “Low accuracy + No change” is maintained, and the transition is made to the production mode MA without any change in state. When the big hit H is won in “No shortness”, the transition is made again to the production mode MA with the state change from “High accuracy + No change” to “Low accuracy + No change”. In addition, when the small hit I is won while staying in the production mode MA, after the symbol variation game won for the small hit I is over, the game shifts again to the production mode MA through the small hit game. If the player wins the small hit I in “low accuracy + no change” or “high accuracy + no change”, the game state at the time of winning is maintained, and the play mode MA is resumed without changing the state. Transition.

Next, a mode transition condition from the effect mode MB to another effect mode will be described.
Transition (including re-transition) to all the production modes (production modes MA, MB, MC, MD) is permitted from the production mode MB. That is, when the mode transition condition for maintaining “no change” is satisfied during the stay of the production mode MB, the production mode MA of “no change” is entered, or the production mode MB is re- When the mode transition condition that accompanies the change of the game state from “none” to “with variation” is satisfied, the mode changes to “with variation” presentation modes MC and MD.

  In the transition from the production mode MB to the production mode MA, the mode transition condition is to win the big hits F and H in “high accuracy + no change”. From the effect mode MB to the effect mode MA, after the end of the symbol variation game winning the big hits F and H, the game proceeds through the two round big hit games. If the big hit F is won in “high accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change” is maintained, and the transition is made to the production mode MA without any state change. On the other hand, if the big hit H is won in “High accuracy + No change”, the mode changes to “Direction mode MA” with a state change from “High accuracy + No change” to “Low accuracy + No change”. . In this transition mode, when the transition is made from the rendering mode MB to the rendering mode MA, there is still a possibility that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state in the rendering mode MA. Probable mode ".

  In addition, the transition from the production mode MB to the production mode MC or the production mode MD is based on a mode transition condition of winning one of the big hits A, B, C, D, G in “high accuracy + no change”. Yes. From the production mode MB to the production mode MC or the production mode MD, after the end of the symbol variation game won in the big hit A, B, C, D, G, 15 round big hit games (special hit game, hit game BA, and hit game) BB). When the big hit A, B, C is won, the game proceeds to the effect mode MC through the 15 round big hit game, and when the big hit D, G is won, the game goes to the effect mode MD through the 15 round big hit game. When winning a big hit A, B, C, D in “high accuracy + no change”, the production mode MC or the production mode MD is accompanied by a state change from “no change” to “with change”. Migrate to In addition, when the big hit G is won in “high accuracy + no change”, the mode is changed to the production mode MD with a state change such as “low accuracy + change”.

  In addition, the re-shift from the production mode MB to the production mode MB is based on the mode transition condition of winning the big hit E or the small hit I in “high accuracy + no change”. And, when the big hit E is won while staying in the production mode MB, after the symbol variation game won in the big hit E is ended, the game is re-shifted to the production mode MB through two rounds of big hit games. In addition, when the small hit I is won while staying in the production mode MB, after the end of the symbol variation game won for the small hit I, the game shifts again to the production mode MB through the small hit game. When the big hit E or the small hit I is won during the stay in the production mode MB, the gaming state at the time of the winning is maintained, and the state is changed again without changing the state.

Next, a mode transition condition from the effect mode MC to another effect mode will be described.
Transition from the production mode MC to the production modes MC and MD (including re-transition) is allowed. That is, during the stay in the production mode MC, only the mode transition condition for maintaining “change” is established, and therefore, the production mode MC, MD is changed (or re-transferred) to “with change”.

  The re-transition from the production mode MC to the production mode MC is based on the mode transition condition of winning a big hit A, B, C, E, I in “high accuracy + shortage”. And, if you win the jackpot A, B, C during the stay in the production mode MC, after the end of the symbol variation game won the jackpot A, B, C, 15 rounds jackpot game (special jackpot game, hit game BA , And any one of the winning games BB), the mode is again shifted to the effect mode MC. When the big hits A, B, C are won during the stay in the production mode MC, the gaming state at the time of the winning is maintained, and the state is changed again without changing the state. Also, if you win a big hit E or small hit I while you are in the production mode MC, after the end of the symbol variation game that won the big hit E or small hit I, after two rounds big hit game or small hit game play Re-transfer to MC. When winning the big hit E or the small hit I during the stay in the production mode MC, the gaming state at the time of the winning is maintained, and the state is changed again without changing the state.

  In addition, the transition from the production mode MC to the production mode MD is based on a mode transition condition of winning a big hit D, F, G, H in “high accuracy + variable”. And, if you win the big hit D, G while staying in the production mode MC, after the end of the symbol variation game that won the big hit D, G, after going through the 15 round big hit game (win game BB), move to the production mode MD To do. In addition, when the big hits F and H are won while staying in the production mode MC, after the end of the symbol variation game won for the big hits F and H, the game shifts to the production mode MD through two rounds of big hit games. When the big hits D and F are won in “high accuracy + variation”, “high accuracy + variation” is maintained, and the mode is changed to the production mode MD without any change in state. On the other hand, when winning a big hit G, H in “high accuracy + variation”, the production mode MD changes from “high accuracy + variation” to “low accuracy + variation” with state change. Transition. In this transition mode, when transitioning from the rendering mode MC to the rendering mode MD, in the rendering mode MD, there is a possibility that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state. Probable mode ".

Next, a mode transition condition from the effect mode MD to another effect mode will be described.
Transition from production mode MD to production modes MA, MC, MD (including re-transition) is allowed. That is, during the stay of the production mode MD, when the mode transition condition accompanied by the change of the game state from “with change” to “without change” is established, the display changes to the production mode MA with “no change”. When the mode transition condition for maintaining “with change” is satisfied, the mode is shifted (or re-transferred) to the production modes MC and MD with “with change”.

  The transition from the production mode MD to the production mode MA has the mode transition condition of the end of the variable state (end of 100 symbol variation games). During the stay of the production mode MD, if the variable state is ended in the state of “low accuracy + variable”, the state changes from “low accuracy + variable” to “low accuracy + no variable”. Along with this, the mode is changed to the production mode MA. Also, when the change mode is ended in the state of “high accuracy + change” while staying in the production mode MD, the state is changed from “high accuracy + change” to “high accuracy + no change”. Transition to the production mode MA with a change. In this transition mode, when transitioning from the rendering mode MD to the rendering mode MA, there is still a possibility that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state in the rendering mode MA. Probable mode ".

  The transition from the production mode MD to the production mode MC is based on the mode transition condition of winning the big hits A, B, and C in “high accuracy + variation” or “low accuracy + variation”. And, if you win a big hit A, B, C while staying in the production mode MD, after the end of the symbol variation game won for the big hit A, B, C, 15 rounds big hit game (special hit game, hit game BA , And any one of the winning games BB), the process proceeds to the production mode MC. When the big hit A, B, C is won in “high accuracy + variation”, “high accuracy + variation” is maintained, and the transition is made to the production mode MC without any state change. On the other hand, when winning big hits A, B, and C in “low accuracy + variation”, the production mode is accompanied by a state change from “low accuracy + variation” to “high accuracy + variation” Move to MC.

  The re-transition from the production mode MD to the production mode MD is to win the big hit D, E, F, G, H or the small hit I in “high accuracy + variation” or “low accuracy + variation”. It is a mode transition condition. And, if you win the big hit D, G while staying in the production mode MD, after the end of the symbol variation game that won the big hit D, G, after 15 rounds big hit game (win game BB), re-enter the production mode MD Transition. Also, if you win big hit E, F, H or small hit I while staying in production mode MD, two round big hit games after the end of the symbol variation game won for big hit E, F, H or small hit I Alternatively, the player makes a transition to the production mode MD through a small hit game. If you win a big hit D, E, F or small hit I while you are in the production mode MD (“high accuracy + variable”), the game state at the time of winning will be maintained, and there will be no change in state. Switch back to mode MD. Also, if you win a big hit G, H or small hit I while staying in the production mode MD (“low probability + variable”), the game state at the time of winning will be maintained and the production will not occur Switch back to mode MD. In this transition mode, when transitioning from the production mode MD to the production mode MD, the possibility that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state remains in the production mode MD. Probable mode ".

  In addition, when the big hit E is won while staying in the production mode MD, and the transition is made to the production mode MD again, the production mode MD is maintained until the next big hit is won. In other words, unlike the case where the game mode is changed to the effect mode MD by winning the big hits D, F, G, H, the change state is continued even after the 100 symbol variation games are completed, so the effect mode MA is entered. Does not migrate. As a result, when the effect mode MD is continued even after 100 symbol variation games are completed, the rendering mode MD is regarded as the “probability change confirmation mode” thereafter.

  During the stay in each effect mode, a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode during the stay is displayed on the effect display device 22. Specifically, the gaming state notification image of the present embodiment includes a background image displayed on the back of the symbol and a character image (telop or the like) indicating the type of effect mode. The background images corresponding to each effect mode are individually set so that the image contents are different for each effect mode, so that the player can recognize the effect mode during the stay from the type of the background image and the character image. It has become. That is, in each effect mode, a different game state suggestion effect is executed. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 serves as suggestion effect execution means for executing the game state suggestion effect.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
On the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a main control board 35 as a main control means for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted. 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.

  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 the present embodiment, the sub control unit 36, the effect display control board 37, and the sound / lamp control board 38 constitute sub control means.

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 main control program of the main control CPU 35a, and writing and reading of necessary data. 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. . In addition, the main control CPU 35a has a symbol display equipped with a special symbol display device 23, a normal symbol display device 24, a special symbol hold storage display device Ra, a normal symbol hold storage display device Rb, and a round notification device RH. A substrate 39 is connected. Further, the main control CPU 35a performs a hit determination random number for special symbols, a random number for special symbol distribution, a random number for reach determination, a random number for variable pattern allocation, a random number for small pattern allocation, and a hit for normal symbols. The values of various random numbers such as random numbers for determination are updated at predetermined intervals. Then, the main control CPU 35a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for rewriting the value before update by storing (setting) the updated value in the setting area of the main control RAM 35c. Further, the main control CPU 35a updates a timer for measuring time. The main control RAM 35c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  The random number for determining the hits for special symbols is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) to determine whether or not to win a big hit. This is a random number used in (small hit determination). Further, the special symbol allocation random number is a random number used when determining the big hit symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display device 23 when the big hit is made. In addition, the reach determination random number is a lottery for determining whether or not to perform a reach effect by forming a reach in a win lottery (including a big win lottery and a small win lottery), that is, in the case of a loss. This is a random number used in reach determination. Further, the fluctuation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when selecting and determining a fluctuation pattern. The normal design random number for hit determination is a random number used in the normal symbol lottery (determination per normal symbol) for determining whether or not to hit the normal symbol. The random number for small hit symbol distribution is a random number used when determining the small hit symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display device 23 when the small hit is made.

  In addition to the main control program, the main control ROM 35b stores a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns and various determination values (big hit determination value, small hit determination value, reach determination value, normal symbol determination value, etc.). . The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, from the time when the symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is confirmed and stopped (the symbol variation game ends). A pattern serving as a base for a light emission effect and a sound effect) is shown. In the variation pattern, a variation time from the start to the end of the symbol variation game is determined for each variation pattern. Further, the variation patterns are classified for each effect content including a hit effect, a miss reach effect, and a miss effect. The variation patterns for winning effects are classified into a variation pattern for 15 rounds big hit, a variation pattern for 2 rounds big hit, and a variation pattern for 2 rounds big hit / small hit. The variation pattern for 15 rounds jackpot is a variation pattern that can be selected when 15 rounds is won. The variation pattern for the two round jackpot is a variation pattern that can be selected when the two round jackpot is won. The variation pattern for 2 round big hits / small hits is a variation pattern that can be selected when either of the 2 round big hits or small hits is won.

  In the win effect, the symbol variation game is developed so as to be a win. Specifically, in the winning effect based on the variation pattern for 15 rounds of big hit, the big hit symbol combination is displayed on the effect display device 22 in a fixed stop display, and the special jackpot display is displayed on the special symbol display device 23 in a fixed stop display. . In the winning effect based on the variation pattern for 2 rounds big hit and the fluctuation pattern for 2 rounds big hit / small hit, the effect display suggesting symbol combination is confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 22, and the big winning symbol is displayed on the special symbol display device 23. Or, the small hit symbol is displayed as a fixed stop.

  In the outlier reach effect, the symbol variation game is developed in the effect display device 22 so as to finally stop display of the symbol combinations that are out of reach through the reach effect, and the special symbol display device 23 displays the stop symbol in the stop display. Is done. In the off stage effect, the symbol variation game is developed on the effect display device 22 so as to finally stop the final symbol combination without displaying the reach effect, and the special symbol display device 23 stops the stop symbol. Is displayed. In the special symbol display device 23, when the symbol variation game is started, the variation of the symbols is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect. That is, the reach effect is performed in a symbol variation game using a decorative symbol displayed on the image display unit GH of the effect display device 22.

  The main control ROM 35b serving as a variation pattern storage means stores a plurality (three in this embodiment) of variation pattern distribution tables (not shown). Specifically, the main control ROM 35b stores a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected according to the gaming state (effect mode) are set. In each variation pattern distribution table, random values for variation pattern distribution are distributed so as to be able to specify variation patterns that can be selected for each of the hit effects, the outlier reach effects, and the outlier effects. In each variation pattern distribution table, random values for variation pattern distribution are distributed so that variation patterns that can be selected for each hit type (for each special symbol) can be specified. In this embodiment, a variation pattern distribution table for selecting a variation pattern when “no variation” is set for each of the production modes MA and MB. Further, in the present embodiment, a variation pattern distribution table that is commonly used in the rendering modes MC and MD is set as a variation pattern distribution table for selecting a variation pattern when “changed”.

FIG. 6A shows a part of variation patterns that can be selected during the production mode MA.
The variation pattern MAP1 is a variation pattern for off-line production that can be selected when neither winning lottery (big winning lottery or small winning lottery) or reach lottery is won in the rendering mode MA. In the variation pattern MAP1, as the variation content, after the symbol variation game is started, the variation of the symbols in each column is stopped according to a predetermined variation stop order (for example, left column → right column → middle column). “Outside variation” for deriving a symbol is associated with “13000 (ms)” as the variation time. Fluctuation pattern MAP2 is a variation pattern for winning effects that can be selected when winning big hits E, F, H and winning small hits I in effect mode MA. The variation pattern for The variation pattern MAP2 is associated with “mode transition variation” for transition from the rendering mode MA to the rendering mode MA or the transition from the rendering mode MA to the rendering mode MB as the variation content, and “ 27000 (ms) "is associated.

  The variation patterns MAP3 and MAP5 are variation patterns for winning effects that can be selected when winning big hits A to D and G in the effect mode MA, and are variation patterns for 15 rounds big hit. The fluctuation pattern MAP3 is associated with “hit fluctuation” for deriving a big hit symbol through reach effects RA and RB as fluctuation contents, and “72000 (ms)” and “112000 (ms)” as fluctuation times. Are associated with each other. Fluctuation patterns MAP4 and MAP6 are variation patterns for outlier reach production that can be selected when winning in the reach lottery without winning in the win lottery (big win lottery and small win lottery) in the production mode MA. The fluctuation patterns MAP4 and MAP6 are associated with “out of reach reach fluctuation” for deriving out-of-place symbols through reach effects RA and RB as fluctuation contents, and “70000 (ms)” and “110000 ( ms) ”. In the present embodiment, the effect of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns MAP3, MAP4, MAP5, and MAP6 includes reach variation that forms a reach state.

FIG. 7A shows a part of variation patterns that can be selected during the production mode MB.
The variation pattern MBP1 is a variation pattern for off-line production that can be selected when neither winning lottery (big winning lottery or small winning lottery) or reach lottery is won in the rendering mode MB. The variation pattern MBP1 is associated with “out-of-sequence variation” that causes variation in each column to stop at almost the same timing and derive a symbol in each column as variation content, and the variation time is “6000 (ms). "Is associated. The variation patterns MBP2 and MBP4 are the variation patterns for the outlier reach effect that can be selected when winning in the reach lottery without winning in the winning lottery (big winning lottery and small winning lottery) in the effect mode MB. The fluctuation patterns MBP2 and MBP4 are associated with “out-of-bounds reach fluctuation” for deriving out-of-place symbols through normal reach or long reach as the fluctuation contents, and “16000 (ms)” and “53000 (ms) as the fluctuation times. ) ”Are associated with each other. Normal reach is an effect in which after the reach state is formed, the symbols in the final stop sequence (in the present embodiment, the middle sequence) are varied for a predetermined time, and then the variation is stopped to derive the symbols. On the other hand, the long reach undergoes normal reach after the formation of the reach state, and after changing the symbol of the final stop row (in this embodiment, the middle row) for a longer time than that during normal reach, the change is stopped This is an effect that derives. The variation pattern MBP3 is a variation pattern for winning effects that can be selected when winning big hits A to D and G in the effect mode MB, and is a variation pattern for 15 rounds big hit.

It is said that.

  The fluctuation patterns MP4 to MP8 are associated with fluctuation contents as “hit fluctuation” for deriving a winning symbol via “match battle reach” which is a dedicated reach production in the production modes MC and MD. Further, as the variation time, “67000 (ms)” is present in the variation pattern MP4, “124000 (ms)” is present in the variation pattern MP5, “131000 (ms)” is present in the variation pattern MP6, and “131000 (ms)” is present in the variation pattern MP7. “134000 (ms)” is associated with “114000 (ms)” in the variation pattern MP8. “Battle Reach” is composed of performance contents for allowing the player to recognize the winning mode (type of winning) according to the result of the game between the own army and the enemy army. Also, in the “Battle Reach”, before the battle, the own monarch and the enemy army monarchs will fight in a single battle and derive the result of the battle, and the direct battle of the monarch will not win the battle Therefore, it is divided into the content of the battle in which the incoming soldiers and enemy soldiers compete in the battle and derive the result of the battle. And in this embodiment, as a result of a battle in the content of the battle, the result of “winning”, the result of “defeating” of the own army, and the time of “defeat” of the own army, The results and the results of "drawing" between your army and the other army are prepared. The results of these battles are “victory” for the fluctuation contents of the fluctuation pattern MP5, “defeat → resurrection” for the fluctuation contents of the fluctuation pattern MP6, and “defeat” for the fluctuation contents of the fluctuation pattern MP7. However, “draw” is associated with the variation contents of the variation pattern MP8.

In the present embodiment, the effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns MP2, MP3, MP4, MP5, MP6, MP7, and MP8 include reach variation that forms a reach state.

  The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1471 different integers from 0 to 1470) that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination for special symbols. The big hit judgment value is a big hit lotion 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 lottery when the gaming state is probable state (high probability lottery state) There are high-probability jackpot determination values to be used, and the number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state is set to be larger than the number of jackpot determination values in the non-probability variation state. In the present embodiment, “4” numerical values are determined as low probability jackpot determination values, and “36” numerical values are determined as high probability jackpot determination values. Therefore, the probability of winning a big hit in the big win lottery is “4/14771 (= 1367.75)” in the non-probable change state, and “36/4711 (= 40.86 minutes) in the probable change state”. 1) ”.

  The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1471 different integers from 0 to 1470) that can be taken by the random numbers for the special symbol hit determination. In the present embodiment, “5” numerical values are defined as the small hit determination value. For this reason, the probability of winning a small hit in the small hit lottery is “5/1471 / (1 / 294.2)”. Note that the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is imparted and whether or not the variation state is imparted (the same value is determined). That is, the probability of winning a small hit in the small hit lottery is fixed regardless of the gaming state.

  The reach determination value is a determination value used in reach determination, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 241 integers from 0 to 240) that can be taken by random numbers for reach determination. As the reach determination value, different values are set according to the gaming state (whether or not it is in a probable variation state or whether or not it is in a variation state) and the remaining number of reserved memories obtained by subtracting the variation.

  The judgment value per ordinary symbol is a judgment value used in the lottery per ordinary symbol, and is determined from the numerical values (all 107 integers from 0 to 106) that can be taken by the random number for hit judgment for the normal symbol. The judgment value per normal symbol is a low probability per standard symbol judgment value used in the normal symbol lottery when the gaming state is in the non-variable short state and the high value used in the normal symbol lottery when the gaming state is in the variable state. There is a determination value per normal symbol for probability, and the number of determination values per normal symbol in the variable state is set to be larger than the number of determination values per normal symbol in the non-variable state. In the present embodiment, “2” numerical values are determined as normal symbol determination values for the non-variable state, and “106” numerical values are determined as normal symbol determination values for the variable state. Therefore, the probability of winning per normal symbol in the lottery per normal symbol is “2/10/107” in the non-variable state and “106/107” in the variable state.

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described with reference to FIG.
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 to the overall control program, the overall control ROM 36b stores various tables to be referred to when determining various effects.

  In addition, an operation button BT for presentation arranged on the upper surface 15b of the upper plate 15 is connected to the sub integrated control board 36. When the operation button BT for production is pressed when the operation is valid (when the lamp is lit), an operation signal is output to the overall control CPU 36a, and the overall control CPU 36a that has input the operation signal Predetermined game effect control is executed by making the operation of the effect operation button BT effective. If the operation button BT is pressed when the operation button BT for the effect is invalid (when the lamp is turned off), the operation button BT for the effect is invalidated.

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.

  The main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 executes a special symbol input process every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 4 ms). In this special symbol input process, the main control CPU 35a inputs a detection signal output by the start port switches SW1 and SW2 that detect the game ball when the game ball enters the upper start winning port 25 or the lower start winning port 26. Then, a hold determination is made as to 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. Further, when the main control CPU 35a determines that the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a uses the special symbol hitting random number value, the special symbol assigning random number value, and the small hit symbol assigning random number value as the main symbols. It is acquired from the control RAM 35c, and the value is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c in association with the number of reserved symbols for special symbols. 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 each random number described above is not changed. Do not get.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 4 ms). In this special symbol start process, the main control CPU 35a first determines whether or not the symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) is changing (during the execution of the symbol changing game) and whether or not a big hit game is being played. To do. When the determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result is negative (not fluctuating and not a big hit game), the main control CPU 35a reads the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored in the main control RAM 35c, and holds the reserved number. It is determined whether or not the stored number is greater than “0 (zero)” (whether or not there is a pending symbol variation game). If this determination result is negative (the number of reserved memories is “0”), the main control CPU 35a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result is affirmative (the number of reserved memories is larger than “0”), the main control CPU 35a subtracts 1 from the number of reserved symbols for special symbols, and then a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c. The value of the random number for hit determination for the special symbol stored in is read. Then, the main control CPU 35a compares the read hit determination random number value with the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 35b, and makes a big hit determination (big hit lottery) as to whether or not the big hit. In the big hit determination, if the gaming state is an uncertain change state, the main control CPU 35a compares the big probability determination value for the low probability with the value of the random number for the hit determination for the special symbol, and the gaming state is the positive change state. In the case of, the jackpot determination value for high probability is compared with the value of the random number for hit determination for special symbols. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a that performs the big hit lottery serves as the big hit lottery means (win lottery means).

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit. The CPU 35a for main control which has determined the big hit determines the big hit symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game executed by the special symbol display device 23 based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number. Since the special symbol jackpot symbol is set for each jackpot type as described above, the bonus type (winning mode) to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. In addition, since the special symbol includes a special symbol that is a probability variation big hit and a special symbol that is a non-probable variation big hit, it is determined whether the probability variation big hit or the non-probability big hit is determined by determining the special symbol. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a for determining a special symbol serves as a symbol determining means, and when a big hit is won in the big hit lottery, which of the big hits from a plurality of types of big wins is given to the player. The main control CPU 35a to be determined serves as a big hit seed determining means (a hit seed determining means).

  Further, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the big hit acquires the random value for distribution pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and selects and determines the change pattern for the winning effect based on the acquired value. In the present embodiment, since the variation content is determined by selecting the variation pattern based on the lottery result of the winning lottery (big hit lottery, small hit lottery), the main control CPU 35a that determines the variation pattern. Is the production content determination means (variation pattern determination means).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special symbol hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the special symbol hit determination random number and the main control. The small hit determination values stored in the ROM 35b are compared, and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not a small hit is made. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a that performs the small hit determination (small hit lottery) serves as the small hit lottery means (win lottery means). When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for special determination hit determination and the small hit determination value match), the main control CPU 35a determines the small hit. The main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hit determines the small hit symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed in the special symbol display device 23, based on the random number value for small hit symbol distribution. . The main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hit acquires the random value for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and selects and determines the variation pattern for the hit effect based on the acquired value. .

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the special symbol random number for hit determination and the small hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the deviation. Then, the main control CPU 35a which has determined the detachment determines whether or not to execute the detachment effect by random number lottery (a random number for reach determination and a reach determination value). When the execution of the outlier reach effect is determined, the main control CPU 35a determines the off symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display device 23 in a fixed stop display. Further, the main control CPU 35a acquires a random value for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and selects and determines a variation pattern for shift reach production based on the acquired value. On the other hand, when the non-execution of the outlier reach effect is determined, the main control CPU 35a determines the out symbol in the same manner as described above. Further, the main control CPU 35a acquires a random value for distribution pattern distribution from the main control RAM 35c, and selects and determines a shift pattern for deviation effect based on the acquired value.

  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. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and for instructing the start of the symbol variation game at the start of the symbol variation game. The main control CPU 35a outputs a special symbol stop symbol designating command for designating a special symbol, after outputting the variation pattern designating command. Then, the main control CPU 35a outputs a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time determined in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed as the variation time elapses. .

  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 (the winning symbol or the off symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. Display.

  When determining the winning, the main control CPU 35a starts controlling the type of winning game specified based on the final stop symbol (special symbol) after the symbol variable game based on the determined variation pattern is completed. A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a).

  The main control CPU 35a outputs an opening command at the start of the winning game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and further outputs an ending command at the end. The opening command instructs the start of the opening effect, the round command instructs the start of the round game (round effect), and the ending command instructs the start of the ending effect. Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal for opening the special winning opening 29 at the start of each round game in each winning game. The opening signal is output to the actuator of the special winning opening door 28, the actuator is actuated by the opening signal, and the large winning opening door 28 is opened. In addition, the main control CPU 35a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game in each winning game, and counts the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening 29 during the round game. Then, the main control CPU 35a opens the big winning opening 29 by satisfying one of the end conditions that the round game time has passed and the upper limit number of game balls have entered in each winning game. A closing signal for closing is output. The closing signal is output to the actuator of the special winning opening door 28, the actuator is actuated by the closing signal, and the special winning opening door 28 is closed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a 15-round big hit game is provided in which the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 is different, and control according to the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 in each 15 round big hit game is performed. Is called.

  Specifically, when the big hit A is won, the main control CPU 35a sets the round game time of each round game from the 1st to the 15th game to “25 (seconds)” and opens the big winning opening 29. Further, if the main control CPU 35a outputs a closing signal to end the round game, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal when the interval time between rounds “2 (seconds)” elapses after the closing signal is output. Start the next round game.

  In addition, when the big hit B is won, the main control CPU 35a controls each round game from the 1st to the 10th round and each round game from the 12th to the 15th in the same manner as when the big hit A is won. I do. On the other hand, when the big hit B is won, the main control CPU 35a performs a control different from that when the big hit A is won for the eleventh round game. Specifically, in the eleventh round game, the main control CPU 35a causes the grand prize winning door 28 to be opened five times for "0.3 (seconds)". An open signal and a close signal are output to the actuator. At this time, after the output of the release signal, the main control CPU 35a outputs a close signal when “0.3 (seconds)” elapses, and outputs an open signal when the intra-round interval time “2 (seconds)” elapses. As a result, the next prize opening 29 is opened. Then, if the main control CPU 35a causes the special winning opening 29 to release “0.3 (seconds)” five times after the eleventh round game has started, the in-round interval time “2” is set. When (seconds) "elapses, an opening signal is output to cause the special winning opening 29 to open for the sixth time. The main control CPU 35a has set the round game time to be “35 (seconds)” for the eleventh round game when the big hit B is won, so that the round game time has elapsed. And a closing signal for closing the special winning opening 29 is output by satisfying one of the end conditions of having entered the upper limit number of game balls.

  In addition, when the big hit C, D, G is won, the main control CPU 35a performs the same control as when the big hit A, B is won for each round game from the first to the tenth round. On the other hand, when the big hit C, D, G is won, the main control CPU 35a performs different control for the 11th to 15th round games than when the big hit A, B is won. Specifically, in the 11th to 15th round games, the main control CPU 35a sets the round game time of each round game to “0.3 (seconds)” and opens the special winning opening 29. Further, if the main control CPU 35a outputs a closing signal to end the round game, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal when the interval time between rounds “2 (seconds)” elapses after the closing signal is output. Start the next round game.

Next, the control of the two round big hit game and the small hit game will be described.
When the main control CPU 35a wins the big hits E, F, H, in the first to second round games, the round game time of each round game is set to “0.3 (seconds)” and the grand prize opening 29 is set. Let open. Further, if the main control CPU 35a outputs a closing signal to end the round game, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal when the interval time between rounds “2 (seconds)” elapses after the closing signal is output. Start the next round game.

  On the other hand, when the small control is won, the main control CPU 35a sets the round game time to “2.6 (seconds)” in the first round game and opens the big winning opening 29. Then, in the first round game, the main control CPU 35a causes the actuator of the big prize opening door 28 to perform the operation of opening the big prize opening 29 for "0.3 (seconds)" twice. To output an open signal and a close signal. At this time, after the output of the release signal, the main control CPU 35a outputs a close signal when “0.3 (seconds)” elapses, and outputs an open signal when the intra-round interval time “2 (seconds)” elapses. As a result, the next prize opening 29 is opened.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a that ended each winning game gives a certain change state if the determination result is affirmative based on the determination result of the certain change grant determination as to whether or not to give a certain change state after the winning game ends. However, when the determination result is negative, the probability variation state is not given. In the present embodiment, when the big hits A to F are won, the probability variation determination is affirmed. Further, in the present embodiment, when the big hits G and H are won, the probability variation grant determination is negative. The CPU 35a for main control having affirmatively determined the probability change grant determination sets the probability change flag indicating “1” and gives the variable state when the jackpots A to D are won. Is set to “1”. On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a having affirmatively determined the probability variation grant determination sets “1” in the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when the big hit E, F is won, Either “1” or “0” is set in the operation flag according to the gaming state. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the variable state is provided. When “0” is set, the variable state is not provided. It is shown that.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a having made a negative determination of the probability change grant determination sets “0” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is to be granted and gives the variable state when the big hit G is won. Is set to “1”. On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a, which has made a negative determination of the probability change grant determination, sets “0” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given when the big hit H is won, and the gaming state at the time of winning In response to this, either “1” or “0” is set in the operation flag.

  When the probability variation flag is set to “1”, the main control CPU 35a outputs a probability variation command indicating the probability variation state to the sub integrated control board 36, and sets the probability variation flag to “0”. At this time, a non-probability change command indicating that the sub-control control board 36 is in a non-probability change state is output. As a result, the sub-overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) can grasp whether or not the certainty change state is currently given. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, the main control CPU 35a outputs an operation command indicating that the sub-control board 36 is in a variable state, and sets the operation flag to “0”. When set, a non-operation command indicating that the variable state is not given to the sub-general control board 36 is output. Thereby, the overall control CPU 36a can grasp whether or not the variable state is currently given.

  Further, when the main control CPU 35a wins the big hits D, F, G, and H and sets the operation flag to “1”, the main control CPU 35a is operated 100 times indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the variable state is given. Set. This operation count is decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed. When the big hits D and F are won, when the number of operations becomes “0 (zero)”, the probability variation flag is maintained and the operation flag is cleared (“0” is set). On the other hand, when the big hit G, H is won, the operation flag is cleared (“0” is set) when the operation count becomes “0”. Each flag and the number of operations are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c. In addition, each flag and the number of operations are cleared (“0” is set) even when a big hit game is awarded. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning a small hit is maintained, the main control CPU 35a maintains the current state of both the probability change flag and the operation flag (does not set a new value).

  Then, the main control CPU 35a that has finished the winning game (big hit game and small hit game), when the number of reserved memories for the special symbol at the end of the winning game is “1” or more, Next, the next symbol variation game is started. On the other hand, when the number of reserved symbols for the special symbol at the end of the winning game is “0”, the main control CPU 35a plays the symbol variation game until the game ball enters the start winning opening and the start condition is satisfied. Wait without running.

Next, the control contents executed by the main control CPU 35a with respect to the normal symbol will be described.
When the game ball enters the normal symbol operation gate 30 and the detection signal output from the normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects the game ball is input, the main control CPU 35a receives the normal symbol stored in the main control RAM 35c. Whether or not the reserved storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) is determined. When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 (+1) to the number of reserved memories for ordinary symbols, and sets the number of reserved memories for ordinary 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 normal symbols is rewritten. For example, the main control CPU 35a turns on three hold lamps when the number of reserved symbols for the normal symbol after rewriting is “3”. Further, when the main control CPU 35a makes an affirmative determination of the hold determination, the main control CPU 35a obtains the value of the random number for hit determination for the normal symbol from the main control RAM 35c, and associates the value with the number of reserved memories for the normal symbol. And stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (the number of reserved memories for normal symbols = 4), the main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the number of reserved memories for normal symbols exceeding the upper limit, and for normal symbols. The random number for hit detection is not acquired.

  The main control CPU 35a reads the normal symbol hit determination random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the normal symbol variation game, and stores the value and the main control ROM 35b in the main control ROM 35b. The stored normal symbol per unit determination value is compared, and the normal symbol per unit determination as to whether or not the normal symbol per unit is made. In the normal symbol hit determination, the main control CPU 35a compares the low probability normal symbol hit determination value with the normal symbol hit determination random number value when the gaming state is the non-changing state, and the gaming state is In the variable state, the judgment value per normal symbol for high probability is compared with the value of a random number for hit judgment for the normal symbol.

  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 normal symbol variation by starting the normal symbol variation game, and displays the normal symbol (hit symbol or missing symbol) determined when a predetermined variation time elapses. 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 (msec)” as the variation time in the non-variable state, and sets the variation time as the variation time in the non-variable state. A short time “1100 (msec)” is set. Thereby, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game performed in the variable state is shortened compared to the variation time of the symbol variation game performed in the non-variable state.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a outputs an opening signal for opening the opening / closing blade 27 and a closing signal for closing the opening / closing blade 27 after the end of the normal symbol variation game per normal symbol. Control the opening mode. The opening signal and the closing signal are output to the actuator of the opening / closing blade 27, the actuator is operated by the opening signal, the opening / closing blade 27 is opened, and the actuator is operated by the closing signal. 27 is closed. Then, the main control CPU 35a controls the opening mode of the opening / closing blades 27 in accordance with the gaming state when hitting the normal symbol. Specifically, in the non-changeable state, the main control CPU 35a opens the opening / closing blade 27 for the first number of times (for example, 1 (times)) in the first opening time (for example, 0.3 (seconds)). To control. In the variable state, the main control CPU 35a controls the opening / closing blade 27 to be opened for the second number of times (for example, 3 (times)) in the second opening time (for example, 1.4 (seconds)). .

  The main control CPU 35 a counts the number of game balls that have entered the lower start winning opening 26 while the opening / closing blade 27 is opened. When the counted number of game balls reaches the upper limit number (8 in this embodiment), the main control CPU 35a outputs a closing signal at that time to close the open / close blade 27, The opening control of the opening / closing blade 27 based on the normal symbol is finished. The main control CPU 35a that has finished the opening control of the opening / closing blade 27 based on the normal symbol, when the number of reserved symbols for the normal symbol at the time of the end is “1” or more, The normal symbol variation game is started. On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a enters the normal symbol operating gate 30 with a game ball when the number of reserved symbols for the normal symbol at the end of the opening control of the opening / closing blade 27 is “0”, and the start condition is satisfied. Until, without waiting to run the normal symbol variation game.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a for giving a winning game is a winning game giving means, and the main control CPU 35a for controlling the opening / closing of the special winning opening 29 is a variable control means. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a that determines whether the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery after the end of the jackpot game is a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state according to the determined jackpot type, It becomes a lottery probability state determination means. Further, the main control CPU 35a for setting the determined lottery probability state serves as the lottery probability state setting means. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a that determines whether the operating state of the opening / closing blade 27 after the end of the big hit game is the variable-change state or the non-change-change state according to the determined type of the big hit, It becomes an operation state determination means. The main control CPU 35a for controlling the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery after the jackpot game ends according to the determination result of the lottery probability state determination means, and the opening / closing blade 27 after the jackpot game ends according to the determination result of the operation state determination means Each of the main control CPUs 35a for controlling the operation state serves as an operation state control means.

Next, the contents of control executed by the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
The central control CPU 36a of the sub general control board 36, when a change pattern designation command is input, 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. Further, when the overall control CPU 36a inputs an all symbols stop command, the overall control CPU 36a outputs the command to the effect display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38.

Hereinafter, the control contents related to the determination of the decorative symbol executed by the overall control CPU 36a will be described.
When the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol (special symbol ZA, ZB, ZC, ZD, ZG) corresponding to the 15 round big hit, A jackpot symbol combination capable of recognizing a jackpot is determined as a symbol combination of the decorative symbols. Further, the overall control CPU 36a determines that the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command corresponds to the big hit symbol (special symbol ZE, ZF, ZH) or the small hit symbol (2). In the case of the special symbol ZI), the symbol combination suggesting the probability variation is determined as the symbol combination of the decorative symbol.

  In addition, when the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command is an outlier symbol, the overall control CPU 36a determines an off 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 formation symbol. On the other hand, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines a combination of outliers that can recognize an outlier that does not include the reach formation symbol.

Next, the contents of control related to the rendering mode executed by the overall control CPU 36a will be described.
The overall control CPU 36a determines the type of winning symbol (big winning symbol and small winning symbol) designated by the special symbol stop symbol designation command output by the main control CPU 35a, and whether the variable state is activated or deactivated (terminated). The transition mode of the effect mode is controlled on the basis of the respective designation commands related to and the set value of the effect mode flag. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 36c. When the production mode flag is set, the overall control CPU 36a outputs a mode designation command for designating the production mode during the stay to the production display control board 37 and the sound / lamp control board 38. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a serves as an effect mode setting means and an suggestion effect execution control means.

Next, the control content related to the big hit game executed by the overall control CPU 36a 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. In the present embodiment, the effect content of the notification effect is instructed as the effect content of the round effect.

Next, the effect display control board 37 will be described.
When the change pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 37a of the effect display control board 37 selects the effect content according to the instruction content of these commands, and causes the image display unit GH to play the symbol variation game with the effect content. Controls the display content of. At this time, the display control CPU 37a generates display data for displaying an image according to the effect contents using the image data of the display control ROM 37b based on the selected effect contents. Then, the display control CPU 37a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the image display unit GH based on the measured time and display data. Switch every control cycle. Then, the display control CPU 37a derives the decorative symbol designated by the decorative symbol stop symbol designation command in the symbol variation game, and displays the image so that the symbol combination by the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed by the input of the symbol stop command. The display content of the part GH is controlled to end the symbol variation game. In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 37a serves as a game control means.

  Further, the display control CPU 37a causes the opening effect, the round effect, and the ending effect to be performed in accordance with the effect instruction command for the opening effect, the effect instruction command for the round effect, and the effect instruction command for the ending effect during the big hit game. The display content of the image display unit GH is controlled. That is, the display control CPU 37a uses the image data in the display control ROM 37b to generate display data for displaying an image according to the effect contents, and displays the display contents on the image display unit GH, as in the case of the symbol variation game. To control. The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to perform a notification effect in a predetermined round game during the big hit game. For this reason, when executing the notification effect, the display control CPU 37a controls the display content of the image display unit GH so that the notification effect is performed. Further, when the mode control command is input, the display control CPU 37a executes a game state suggesting effect based on the content of the instruction. In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 37a that causes the effect display device 22 to execute the game state suggestion effect upon receiving an instruction from the overall control CPU 36a serves as the suggestion effect execution control means.

  Hereinafter, control of various effects (the effects related to the symbol variation game, the effects related to the effect mode, and the effects related to the winning game) performed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail.

First, the decorative symbols used in the symbol variation game performed during the stay in each of the production modes MA to MD will be described.
FIG. 9 shows a plurality of types (10 types in the present embodiment) of decorative patterns used in the symbol variation game performed during the stay in the production modes MA, MC, and MD. The ten kinds of decorative designs are configured such that numbers “0 (zero)” to “9” are attached to the design portion (image portion of the military commander) in which 10 military commanders are copied for each design. Specifically, the design [KO] has the number “0 (zero)” in the design part, the design [K1] has the number “1” in the design part, and the design [K2] has the number “2” in the design part. The design [K3] has a number “3” attached to the design portion, and the design [K4] has a number “4” attached to the design portion. The design [K5] has the number “5” in the design part, the design [K6] has the number “6” in the design part, the design [K7] has the number “7” in the design part, and the design [K8] has the design. The number “8” is assigned to the part, and the design [K9] is assigned the number “9” to the design part. Of the 10 types of decorative designs [K0] to [K9], the 6 types of decorative designs [K0], [K1], [K3], [K5], [K7] and [K9] are the production mode MC. , The design department is composed of the military commanders who appear in the reach production (match reach) performed during the stay of MD. On the other hand, the other four types of decorative patterns [K2], [K4], [K6] and [K8] are the enemy forces that appear in the reach production (battle reach) performed during the stay in the production mode MC, MD. The design department is composed of military commanders. Ten kinds of decorative designs are configured by a combination of a main design portion made of a design portion and a sub-design portion made of numbers.

  Then, during the stay in the production modes MA, MC, MD, each symbol row in the production display device 22 is changed in the direction of change (vertical) of 10 types of decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] when the symbol variation game is started. The display is variably displayed in a predetermined display order along the scroll direction. Specifically, the display order of each column is [K0] → [K1] → [K2] → [K3] → [K4] → [K5] → [K6] → [K7] → [K8] → [ K9] → [K0] →... When the decorative pattern [K9] is reached, the display returns to the decorative pattern [K0] and is displayed in a variable manner.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol combination [K3K3K3 (333)] based on the decorative symbol [K3] and the symbol combination [K7K7K7 (777)] based on the decorative symbol [K7] during the stay in the production modes MA, MC, MD. The jackpot symbol combination is set so that the winner of the jackpot A can be definitely recognized. In the present embodiment, the same symbol combination (such as [K0K0K0 (000)]) with the decorative symbols other than the decorative symbols [K3] and [K7] during the stay in the production modes MA, MC, and MD. The jackpot symbol combination that recognizes that one of the jackpots A, B, C, D, and G has been won is set.

  In addition, during the stay in the production mode MA, the symbol combination [K1K2K3 (123)] with the decorative symbols [K1], [K2] and [K3] was selected as one of the big hits E, F, H and the small hits I. It is set to the symbol combination that suggests the probability change. In addition, during the stay in the production modes MC and MD, a symbol combination (for example, [K1K2K1 (121), etc.)) in which the decorative symbol in the middle row is shifted by 1 in the display order with respect to the reach formation symbol is produced. Depending on the situation, it is set to a symbol combination that is out of place, or a symbol combination that suggests a probable change when winning one of the big hits E, F, H and small hits I.

  FIG. 10 shows a plurality of types (seven types in the present embodiment) of decorative patterns used in the symbol variation game performed during the stay in the effect mode MB. The seven types of decorative designs are six types of decorative designs [KA], [KB], [KC], [KD], [KE], which are composed of a design part (image portion of a military commander) that replicates six military commanders. , [K], and a decorative design [BL] (indicated by “☆” in the figure), which is a blank design.

  Of the 6 types of decorative designs [KA] to [KE], [K], 5 types of decorative designs [KA] to [KE] appear in the reach production (one-kage reach) performed during the stay in the production mode MB. The design department is composed of the military commanders of the army. On the other hand, the design part of the other kind of decorative pattern [K] is composed of the military commander of the enemy army who competes with his military commander in the reach production (one-kick reach) performed during the stay in the production mode MC, MD. Yes. Note that the six types of decorative symbols differ from the ten types of decorative symbols used in the production modes MA, MC, and MD, and are configured only by the design portion (main symbol portion), and the numbers (sub symbol portions) are not combined. .

  Then, during the stay in the effect mode MB, five symbol patterns [KA] to [KE] are predetermined for the two symbol sequences in the effect display device 22 when the symbol variation game starts. A variable display is performed in a predetermined display order along the variable direction (vertical scroll direction). More specifically, the display order of the two left and right symbol rows is [KA] → [KB] → [KC] → [KD] → [KE] → [KA] →. When the symbol [KE] is reached, the display returns to the decorative symbol [KA] and is displayed in a variable manner. On the other hand, in the middle row, when the symbol variation game is started, seven kinds of decorative symbols [KA] to [KE], [K], and [BL (blank symbols)] follow a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). In addition, the display is variably displayed in a predetermined display order. Specifically, the display order of the middle row is [KA] → [KB] → [KC] → [KD] → [KE] → [BL (blank symbol)] → [K] → [BL (blank symbol). )] ..., and when the decorative symbol [BL] is reached, the display returns to the decorative symbol [KA] and is displayed in a variable manner.

  In the present embodiment, during the stay in the production mode MB, the same symbol combinations [KAKAKA], [KBKBKB], [KCKCKC], [KDKDKD], and [KEKEKE] with the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE] are displayed. , It is set to a jackpot symbol combination with decorative symbols. This jackpot symbol combination is derived from winning the jackpot A depending on the production contents (development) of the symbol variation game, and winning the jackpot A, B, C, D, G It may be derived by doing so. That is, the jackpot symbol combination derived in the rendering mode MB is not associated with the specific hit type so that it can be recognized. Incidentally, the jackpot symbol combinations derived in the production modes MA, MC, and MD are associated with each other so that the jackpot A can be definitely recognized for specific symbol combinations ([K3K3K3] and [K7K7K7]).

  Further, in the present embodiment, during the stay in the production mode MB, a combination of symbols in which the left and right columns are the same symbols [KA] to [KE] and the middle column is a different symbol (for example, [KAKBKA]). Is set to an out-of-order symbol combination in accordance with the effect of the symbol variation game. Further, in the present embodiment, the symbol combination suggestion when the symbol combination ([KAKBKA] or the like) is selected as one of the big hits E, F, H, and the small hit I according to the effect contents of the symbol variation game. Set to combination. In the present embodiment, the decorative symbol [BL], that is, the symbol combination including the blank symbol (for example, [KABLKA]) is set as the off symbol combination during the stay in the effect mode MB.

Hereinafter, control of effects will be described for each effect mode.
First, the effect of the symbol variation game during the stay in the effect mode MA and the control of the effect of the winning game given when the winner is won by the winning lottery during the stay in the effect mode MA will be described.

  The main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MA are allocated when a big winning is won in the big winning lottery, and a variation pattern is selected. At this time, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern corresponding to the value of the variation pattern distribution random number based on the type of the big hit (special symbol type) when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery. More specifically, when the main control CPU 35a wins any of the big hits A to D and G, the main control CPU 35a selects any one of the fluctuation patterns MAP3 and MAP5 for the 15 round big hit. Further, when one of the big hits E, F, and H is won, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern MAP2 for two rounds of big hit / small hit.

  In addition, when the small winning lottery is won by the main control CPU 35a, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MA are distributed, and selects a variation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MAP2 for 2 round big hit / small hit.

  Further, when the reach production is selected in the reach lottery, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the production mode MA are distributed, and selects a variation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects one of the variation patterns MAP4 and MAP6 for the outlier reach effect. In addition, when the reach rendering is not executed in the reach lottery, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MA are distributed, and selects a variation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern MAP1 for the offending effect.

  On the other hand, when starting the symbol variation game, the overall control CPU 36a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a stop symbol designation command. Then, the overall control CPU 36a that has input the stop symbol designation command causes the effect display device 22 to display a fixed stop according to the special symbol instructed by the stop symbol designation command as a result of the symbol variation game (result of the winning lottery). Determine the symbol combination by the decorative symbol.

  More specifically, when the special symbol ZA is instructed (when the jackpot A is won), the overall control CPU 36a configures a jackpot symbol combination from the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9]. Decide which decoration to do. Further, when the special symbols ZB, ZC, ZD, ZG are instructed (when the big hits B, C, D, G are won), the overall control CPU 36a displays the decorative symbols [K3], [K7]. The decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination are determined from the other decorative symbols [K0] to [K2], [K4] to [K6], [K8], and [K9]. In addition, when the special symbols ZE, ZF, ZH, and ZI are instructed (when the big hit E, F, H, or the small hit I is won), the overall control CPU 36a has a symbol combination [K1K2K3] that suggests the probability change. To decide. In addition, when an outlier symbol is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines an outlier symbol combination.

  Then, under the control of the display control CPU 37a, the effect display device 22 performs a symbol variation game of the effect contents based on the variation pattern, and derives a symbol combination of decorative symbols and displays them in a fixed stop state.

  When the big hits A to D, G are won, a big hit symbol combination is derived in the symbol variation game, and the big hit game starts after the game ends. As shown in FIG. 6A, the overall control CPU 36a determines the jackpot game to be performed by winning the jackpots A to D and G in the production mode MA, as shown in FIG. 6 (a). The effect during the big hit game is controlled based on the determination result.

  When the big hit A is won, the overall control CPU 36a selects and determines one of the special hit game, the hit game BA, and the hit game BB. At this time, the overall control CPU 36a determines the special winning game and displays the special winning game when displaying either the big winning symbol combination [K3K3K3 (per 3)] or [K7K7K7 (per 7)] in the symbol changing game. The effect display control board 37 is instructed to produce an effect for winning game, and the effect display device 22 is made to perform it.

  On the other hand, when the overall control CPU 36a displays the big-hit symbol combinations other than the big-hit symbol combinations [K3K3K3 (per 3)] and [K7K7K7 (per 7)] in a definite stop display, either the per-game BA or the per-game BB Is determined by lottery. In this embodiment, the ratio for determining the winning game BA and the ratio for determining the winning game BB are each set to 1/2. In addition, when the big hit B is won, the overall control CPU 36a determines either a winning game BA or a winning game BB by lottery. In the present embodiment, when the big hit B is won, the ratio for determining the winning game BA and the ratio for determining the winning game BB are each set to 1/2. The overall control CPU 36a determines the winning game BA when the big hit C is won. The overall control CPU 36a determines the winning game BB when the big hits D and G are won. Then, the overall control CPU 36a, which has determined either the winning game BA or the winning game BB according to the winning type, instructs the effect display control board 37 to produce the winning game BA or the winning game BB. The effect display device 22 is caused to perform the operation.

  In addition, when the big hit A, B, C is won, the general control CPU 36a produces the production mode from the production mode MA after the 15 round big game (special game, hit game BA, or hit game BB). Transition to mode MC. In addition, when the big hits D and G are won, the overall control CPU 36a shifts the production mode from the production mode MA to the production mode MD after the completion of the 15 round big game (hit game BB). Further, when the big hit E is won, the overall control CPU 36a shifts the production mode from the production mode MA to the production mode MB after the end of the two round big hit game. Further, when the big hit F, H, I is won, the overall control CPU 36a re-shifts the effect mode to the effect mode MA after the end of the two round big hit game or the small hit game.

Here, with regard to the special hit game and the win games BA and BB, a description will be given of the production performed during the win game and the flow until the transition to the production mode MC and MD through the win game.
When shifting to a special hit game after the end of the symbol variation game, in the special hit game, an opening effect is first performed, and in the opening effect, a display effect of displaying a character image of “super big hit” is performed. Then, after the opening effect is finished, when a transition is made to a round game, a round effect is performed in each round game. In each round game, as a round production, an introduction production is introduced that introduces the military commanders who make up the decorative design and the military production that appears in the reach production (such as Ichikaki Reach and Battle Reach). Then, after the end of the 15th (final) round game, an ending effect is performed. In the ending effect, a display effect that displays a character image of “effect mode MC entry” is performed. After that, the big hit game is ended by the end of the ending effect, and when the big hit game is ended, the mode is changed to the effect mode MC, so that the effect display device 22 displays a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode MC. The

Next, the winning game BA will be described according to the game flow shown in FIG.
When the game shifts to the winning game BA after the end of the symbol variation game, the winning effect is first performed in the winning game BA, and the opening effect is a display effect that displays a character image of “Get special hit game”. Is called. “Acquire special hit game” is the development of the round effect that is performed during the round game when it is not notified that the big hit A is won in the symbol variation game when moving to the hit game BA (Game characteristics) suggests that it is a content that informs whether or not a special hit game, that is, whether or not the big hit A with the highest advantage is won.

  Then, after the opening effect is finished, when a transition is made to a round game, a round effect is performed in each round game. In each round game, as a round effect, an effect (special effect) in which the warlords of the own army and the warlords of the enemy army compete in a single battle is performed. In other words, “Get a special hit game” displayed in the opening effect suggests that the result of the one-stroke game performed as the round effect is a notification content indicating whether or not the big hit A is won. The round effect related to this one-stroke game is performed across 10 round games for the 1st to 10th round games. There are a plurality of types of production contents for the round production related to the single hit, and the contents of the production until the result of the game is derived, that is, the development of the single hit, is selected by the overall control CPU 36a and instructed to the display control CPU 37a. Is done. For example, there is an effect in which one's military commander or an enemy military commander attacks, and an effect in which the other military commander receives the attack.

  In the 10th round game, as a round effect, an effect for the military commander of the own army and an enemy army warrior to finalize is performed, and a notification effect for informing the game result in the 11th round game (the first game) Notification effect) is performed as a round effect. The contents of the notification effect differ depending on whether the winning game BA is winning the big hit A, B, or C. Specifically, when the big hit A is won, a notification effect of displaying a character image of “win” is performed in the round effect of the eleventh round game. The notification content of this “win” notifies the player that the special winning game has been won, that is, that the big hit A has been won. For this reason, the player can recognize that the jackpot A has been won from the content of the notification of “win”. And if the big hit A is won, the round winning game 29 will be opened in the same manner as the 1st to 10th round games in the 12th round game, so the round from the 12th round In the game round production, the introduction production is performed in the same manner as the special hit game.

  Then, after the 15th (final) round game is finished, an ending effect is performed, and a display effect is displayed in which the character image of “effect mode MC entry” is displayed. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends, and when the jackpot game ends, the mode transition is made to the effect mode MC, so that a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode MC is displayed on the effect display device 22 as an image. The

  On the other hand, when the big hit C is won, the display of the image of the enemy army warrior escaping is performed in the round effects of the 11th to 15th round games, and then the 15th round game ends. Sometimes a notification effect (first notification effect) is displayed to display a character image of “escape”. The notification content of this “escape” notifies the player that the special hit game could not be obtained, that is, that the big hit C was won. For this reason, the player can recognize that the jackpot C has been won from the content of the notification of “escape”. If the jackpot C is won, the winning prize opening 29 is opened in a different manner from the first to tenth round games in the 11th to 15th round games, and at the end of the 15th round game, “ A character image of “Escape” is displayed. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to enter the game ball into the big winning opening 29 because the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the 11th to 15th round games is set short. Then, the big hit game is finished in a state where almost no prize ball can be obtained in five round games.

  Then, after the 15th (final) round game is finished, an ending effect is performed, and a display effect is displayed in which the character image of “effect mode MC entry” is displayed. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends, and when the jackpot game ends, the mode transition is made to the effect mode MC, so that a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode MC is displayed on the effect display device 22 as an image. The

  In addition, when the big hit B is won, as in the case where the big hit C is won, the display effect that displays the image of the enemy military commander escaping in the round effect at the start of the eleventh round game. Done. And if the big hit B is won, the eleventh round game is a big hit in the 11th to 15th round games when the big hit C is won to make it appear as if the big hit C is won. In the same manner as the winning opening 29, the winning opening 29 is opened five times, and then the winning opening 29 is opened for the sixth time. For this reason, when the big hit B is won, at the timing when the grand prize opening 29 is released the sixth time in the eleventh round game, the military commander chases the warrior who escaped and displays an image to be defeated The display effect (resurrection effect) is performed, and the notification effect (first notification effect) for displaying the character image of “win” is performed. For this reason, the player can recognize that the big hit B has been won from the content of the notification of “win”. And if the big hit B is won, the grand prize opening 29 will be opened in the same manner as the 1st to 10th round games in the 12th round game, so the round from the 12th round In the game round production, the introduction production is performed in the same manner as the special hit game.

  Then, after the 15th (final) round game is finished, an ending effect is performed, and a display effect is displayed in which the character image of “effect mode MC entry” is displayed. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends, and when the jackpot game ends, the mode transition is made to the effect mode MC, so that a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode MC is displayed on the effect display device 22 as an image. The In the present embodiment, the flow of the hit game BA when the big hit B is won is limited to the flow when the big hit B is won in the non-variable production mode such as the production modes MA and MB. (Production mode).

  The winning game BA is performed when the big hits A, B, and C, which are determined to be given a probable change state (high probability lottery state of the big hit lottery) as the gaming state after the end of the big hit game, are performed. In other words, the winning game BA shifts in a symbol variation game with a decorative symbol in a situation where it is not surely notified whether or not the winning probable big hit has been won. Will be able to. On the other hand, the winning game BA is performed when winning big hits A, B, C having different opening modes of the big winning opening 29 during the big hit game. In other words, the winning game BA is a symbol variation game based on a decorative pattern as to how the big winning opening 29 is opened during a big hit game (during a round game). It is performed in a state where it cannot be recognized from the result.

  For this reason, in the winning game BA, of the big hits A, B, and C that may have been won in the opening stage as described above, the big win A in which the winning prize opening 29 is advantageously opened to the player is won. It is suggested whether or not it is done, and the result is notified in the round effect. Note that whether or not the special winning opening 29 is advantageously opened to the player affects the number of winning balls that can be obtained before the big hit game is over. In other words, in the type of winning in this embodiment, when winning big hit A and winning big hit C, the big hit game set to the same prescribed round number (15 times) is given, but won big hit C. In this case, the big hit game has a configuration in which it is difficult to obtain a prize ball in the 11th to 15th round games. As a result, if the big hit A is won, in each round game, it is easy to enter the number of game balls for the maximum number of balls entered into the big winning opening 29, and a prize ball corresponding to 15 round games can be obtained. If the big hit C is won, there is a high possibility that only winning balls corresponding to 10 round games will be obtained. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the notification effect (first notification effect) performed when the game is shifted to the winning game BA affects the number of winning balls that can be acquired during the winning game (during the big game) (the number of winning winning balls). The mode of the hit game that exerts a certain amount) will be notified. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a and the display control CPU 37a that cause the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH) to perform the first notification effect function as notification effect execution means.

Next, the winning game BB will be described according to the game flow shown in FIG.
When transitioning to the winning game BB after the end of the symbol variation game, the winning game BB is first performed in the opening effect, and in the opening effect, “game with enemy enemy! A display effect for displaying a character image is performed. “If you win, you will see MC MC if you lose”, when you move to the winning game BB, you will not be informed that you have won a promising big hit in the symbol variation game. This suggests that the development of the round effect (game characteristics) is a content for notifying whether or not the winning combination is won. In other words, after the big hit game ends, it is suggested whether to shift to the production mode MC that is the probability variation confirmation mode or to transition to the performance mode MD that is the probability variation latent mode.

  Then, after the opening effect is finished, when a transition is made to a round game, a round effect is performed in each round game. In each round game, as in the case of the hit game BA, an effect (special effect) in which the military commander of the own army and the military commander of the enemy army battle each other is performed as a round effect. In other words, the “displaying mode MC if you win” mode displayed in the opening stage is a notification content that informs you definitely whether or not the result of a single-game match that is performed as a round stage is winning a probable big hit. It is suggested that. The round effect related to this one-stroke game is performed across 10 round games for the 1st to 10th round games. There are a plurality of types of production contents for the round production related to the single hit, and the contents of the production until the result of the game is derived, that is, the development of the single hit, is selected by the overall control CPU 36a and instructed to the display control CPU 37a. Is done. For example, there is an effect in which one's military commander or an enemy military commander attacks, and an effect in which the other military commander receives the attack.

  In the 10th round game, as a round effect, an effect for the military commander of the own army and an enemy army warrior to make a final decision is performed, and a notification effect for informing the game result in the 11th round game (second) Notification effect) is performed as a round effect. The content of the notification effect differs depending on whether the winning game BB is winning the big hit A, B, D, or G. Specifically, when the big hit A is won, a notification effect of displaying a character image of “win” is performed in the round effect of the eleventh round game. The notification content of this “win” is to notify the player definitely that the winning jackpot (big hit A) has been won. For this reason, the player can recognize that he has won the probable big hit (big hit A) from the content of the notification of “win”. And if the big hit A is won, the round winning game 29 will be opened in the same manner as the 1st to 10th round games in the 12th round game, so the round from the 12th round In the game round production, the introduction production is performed in the same manner as the special hit game.

  Then, after the 15th (final) round game is finished, an ending effect is performed, and a display effect is displayed in which the character image of “effect mode MC entry” is displayed. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends, and when the jackpot game ends, the mode transition is made to the effect mode MC, so that a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode MC is displayed on the effect display device 22 as an image. The

  On the other hand, if either of the big hits D or G is won, in the round effects of the 11th to 15th round games, after the display effect is displayed to display an image indicating that the military commander has been defeated A notification effect (second notification effect) is displayed in which a character image of “defeat” is displayed at the end of the 15th round game. The content of the notification of “defeat” notifies the player that there is a possibility that the probable jackpot is not won, in other words, that there is a possibility that the non-probable jackpot is won. For this reason, the player can recognize that there is a possibility that the probable big hit is not won from the content of the notification of “defeat”. If the big hits D and G are won, the winning prize opening 29 is opened in a different manner from the first to tenth round games in the 11th to 15th round games, and the 15th round game ends. Sometimes a character image of “defeat” is displayed. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to enter the game ball into the big winning opening 29 because the round game time (0.3 (seconds)) of the 11th to 15th round games is set short. Then, the big hit game is finished in a state where almost no prize ball can be obtained in five round games.

  Then, after the 15th (final) round game is completed, an ending effect is performed. In the ending effect, a display effect that displays a character image of “effect mode MD entry” is performed. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends, and when the jackpot game ends, the mode transition is made to the effect mode MD, so that a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode MD is displayed on the effect display device 22 as an image. The

  In addition, when winning the big hit B, as in the case of winning the big hit D, G, with the start of the eleventh round game, an image showing that the military commander in the round performance was defeated A display effect is displayed. And if the big hit B is won, in the 11th round game, the 11th to 15th times when the big hit D, G is won to make it appear as if the big hit D, G is won In the same opening manner as the big prize opening 29 in the round game, the big prize opening 29 is opened five times, and then the big prize opening 29 is opened for the sixth time. For this reason, if the big hit B is won, at the timing of the opening of the sixth prize opening 29 in the eleventh round game, the image of the military commander resurrected and defeating the enemy military commander is displayed. The display effect (resurrection effect) is performed, and the notification effect (second notification effect) for displaying the character image of “win” is performed. For this reason, the player can recognize that he has won the probable big hit (big hit B) from the notification content of “win”. And if the big hit B is won, the grand prize opening 29 will be opened in the same manner as the 1st to 10th round games in the 12th round game, so the round from the 12th round In the game round production, the introduction production is performed in the same manner as the special hit game.

  Then, after the 15th (final) round game is finished, an ending effect is performed, and a display effect is displayed in which the character image of “effect mode MC entry” is displayed. The jackpot game ends when the ending effect ends, and when the jackpot game ends, the mode transition is made to the effect mode MC, so that a game state notification image corresponding to the effect mode MC is displayed on the effect display device 22 as an image. The

  The winning game BB is performed when the big hits A, B, D, and G are won. That is, the winning game BB is also executed when it is determined to give an uncertain change state (low probability lottery state of the big hit lottery) as the gaming state after the big hit game is finished (when the big hit G is won). Is called. In other words, the winning game BB shifts in a situation where it is not surely notified whether or not the winning game is a winning game in a symbol variation game with decorative symbols, but unlike the winning game BA, the winning game BB is different from the winning game BA. From the fact that it has shifted, it cannot be recognized definitely that it is “probable big hit”.

  For this reason, in the winning game BB, as described above, in the opening effect, there is a possibility that the player has won a promising big hit by showing the effect modes MC and MD that may shift after the big hit game ends. In order to recognize whether or not, the result is notified in the round effect. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the notification effect (second notification effect) performed when the game shifts to the winning game BB is the gaming state (whether or not the probability variation state is given) after the winning game (big hit game) ends. Will be notified. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 36a and the display control CPU 37a that cause the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH) to perform the second notification effect function as notification effect execution means.

  Note that, in the winning game BB, similar to the winning game BA, it is performed when the big winning A, B, D, G having different opening modes of the big winning opening 29 during the big winning game is won. In other words, the winning game BB is a symbol change game based on a decorative pattern as to how the winning opening 29 is opened during the big hit game (during a round game) (whether or not the player wins the opening advantageously). It is performed in a state where it cannot be recognized from the result. For this reason, in the winning game BB, the result of the notification effect affects the number of winning balls that can be acquired during the winning game (during the big hit game) as in the case of the notification effect performed in the winning game BA (the number of the winning prize balls is somewhat It is also possible to recognize the aspect of the hit game. For example, if “win” is notified in the eleventh round game, it can be recognized that the big hit A is won, that is, the big winning opening 29 is advantageously opened.

  However, whether or not the winning game BA and the winning game BB are notified whether there is a possibility of winning the “non-probable big hit” in the notification effect performed in each case, that is, when the big hit G is won The difference is whether or not to migrate. Due to this difference, the winning game BA and the winning game BB are to provide a notification effect of content that is specific to the number of winning prize balls, or to notify the content including the game state after the end of the big hit game. It will be differentiated and positioned as a hit game with a different meaning. Therefore, for the player, “winning game BA” performed only when winning a promising big hit is compared to “winning game BB” executed even when winning a non-probable big win, It becomes an advantageous hit game. Then, since the player's interest when shifting to the winning game BA is directed to “some amount of winning balls”, the notification effect corresponding to the player's interest is performed in the winning game BA. On the other hand, since the player's interest when shifting to the winning game BB is directed to “whether or not it is a probable big hit,” a notification effect corresponding to the player's interest is performed in the winning game BB.

Next, description will be given of the control of the effect of the symbol variation game during the stay in the effect mode MB and the effect of the winning game given when the winner is won by the winning lottery during the stay in the effect mode MB.
The main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MB are allocated when a big winning is won in the big hit lottery. At this time, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern corresponding to the value of the variation pattern distribution random number based on the type of the big hit (special symbol type) when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery. Specifically, when the big hit A is won, the main control CPU 35a selects any one of the fluctuation patterns MBP3 and MBP5 for the 15 round big hit. The main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MBP3 for 15 rounds when the big hits B to D and G are won. In addition, when the big hit E is won, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern MBP6 for two rounds big hit / small hit. Further, when the big hit F, H is won, the main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MBP7 for two rounds big hit.

  In addition, when the small winning lottery is won by the main control CPU 35a, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MB are allocated, and selects a variation pattern. More specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MBP6 for two rounds of big hit / small hit.

  Further, when the reach production is selected in the reach lottery, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the production mode MB are distributed, and selects a variation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects one of the variation patterns MBP2 and MBP4 for the outlier reach effect. Further, when the reach rendering is not executed in the reach lottery, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MB are allocated, and selects a variation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern MBP1 for the offending effect.

  On the other hand, when starting the symbol variation game, the overall control CPU 36a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a stop symbol designation command. Then, the overall control CPU 36a that has input the stop symbol designation command causes the effect display device 22 to display a fixed stop according to the special symbol instructed by the stop symbol designation command as a result of the symbol variation game (result of the winning lottery). Determine the symbol combination by the decorative symbol.

  More specifically, the overall control CPU 36a indicates that the special symbol ZA is instructed (when the big hit A is won), and any of the variation patterns MBP3, MBP5 is selected. The decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination are determined from the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE]. In addition, when the special symbols ZB, ZC, ZD, and ZG are instructed (when the big hits B, C, D, and G are selected), the overall control CPU 36a displays the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE]. Decide the decorative symbols that make up the jackpot symbol combination from the middle. In addition, when the special symbol ZE, ZF, ZH, ZI is instructed (when the big hit E, F, H or the small hit I is won), the overall control CPU 36a determines the symbol combination of the probability change suggestion. . When determining the symbol combination that suggests the probable change, the overall control CPU 36a determines one of the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE] as the left and right two columns to be the reach formation symbol, and becomes the final stop column. One of the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE] different from the reach forming symbol is determined as the symbol in the middle row.

  In addition, when an outlier symbol is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines an outlier symbol combination. In the case of determining an out-of-order symbol combination, the overall control CPU 36a selects an out-of-order symbol combination that cannot form a reach when a variation pattern MBP1 for out-of-direction effect is designated, as a decorative symbol [KA] to [KE]. To determine. For example, [KAKBBKC], [KBKBKE], or the like is determined as an out-of-band symbol combination. When the variation pattern MBP2 or MBP4 for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a selects any one of the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE] as the left and right two rows of symbols as the reach formation symbols. , And the decorative pattern [BL (blank symbol)] is determined as the symbol of the middle column that is the final stop column.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE] used in the symbol variation game in the effect mode MB, when winning in a win lottery (big win lottery and small win lottery), depending on the type of the win. The selection ratio is set. More specifically, when winning the big hit A, the decorative pattern [KA] <[KB] <[KC] is used as a reach forming pattern for forming a reach state in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern for winning effect. The selection ratio is set higher in the order of <[KD] <[KE]. In addition, when the big hit B, C, D, G is won, as the reach formation symbols for forming the reach state in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern for the winning effect, the decorative symbols [KB], [KC], [ The selection ratio of KD] is set high, and the selection ratio of decorative symbols [KA] and [KE] is set low. In addition, when winning big hit E, F, H or small hit I, the selection ratio is set higher in the order of decorative pattern [KE] <[KD] <[KC] <[KB] <[KA]. Yes. With this selection ratio setting, in the present embodiment, when a reach state is formed during the symbol variation game, the type of reach formation symbol (decorative symbols [KA] to [KE]) is used to determine which win It can be assumed that the type is won.

  Then, the overall control CPU 36a selects and determines the decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination in accordance with the selection ratio set according to the type of the winning hit when the big hit or small win is won. To do. In this embodiment, the decorative symbol combination is composed of left, right, and right three rows of decorative symbols, and the left and right two decorative symbols constituting the symbol combination form a reach formation pattern in the symbol variation game. Can be.

  Then, under the control of the display control CPU 37a, the effect display device 22 performs a symbol variation game of the effect contents based on the variation pattern, and derives a symbol combination of decorative symbols and displays them in a fixed stop state.

  In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game performed in the presentation mode MB, the process of deriving the result that can recognize the hit (the symbol combination of the big hit or the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion) is roughly classified into two types. That is, the process of deriving the result that can recognize the hit is distinguished according to the type of variation pattern selected when the winning is won. More specifically, when the variation pattern MBP3 having the variation content “long reach” is selected, and when the variation pattern MBP5, MBP6, MBP7 having the variation content “single hit reach” is selected. The process of deriving results that can recognize hits is distinguished.

  Hereinafter, the process of deriving the result that can recognize the winning in the effect mode MB (the flow of the symbol variation game) will be described in detail according to the effect flow shown in FIG. In the following description, the flow of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns MBP2 and MBP4 for the outlier reach effect and the variation patterns MBP3, MBP5 to MBP7 for the hit effect will be described.

  When the variation pattern MBP2 for the outlier reach effect is selected, in the image display unit GH of the effect display device 22, the change from the left column to the right column is sequentially stopped every time a predetermined time elapses after the symbol variation game is started. Then, the symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. At this time, the same symbols selected from the decorative symbols [KA] to [KE] are temporarily stopped and displayed in the left and right columns, and as a result, a reach state is formed in the image display unit GH. For example, a reach state such as [KA ↓ KA] (↓ indicates that the state is changing) is formed like the image display unit GH shown in the screen a of FIG. In the image display unit GH, normal reach is performed as a reach effect after the reach state is formed. In this effect of normal reach, the middle row is displayed in a varying manner in accordance with the above-described symbol display order, and the middle row stops after a predetermined time has elapsed, so that the display order for the decorative symbol [K] is increased. Alternatively, the decorative pattern [BL (blank symbol)] to be later is derived (temporarily stopped and displayed) (screen b in FIG. 11). After that, when the variation time of the variation pattern MBP2 for reach variation elapses, the symbol combination of the derived deviation (for example, [KABLKA]) is displayed as a fixed stop and the deviation is confirmed.

Next, the flow of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MBP3 for winning effects and the variation pattern MBP4 for outlier reach effects will be described.
When these variation patterns MBP3 and MBP4 are selected, the reach state is formed after the start of the symbol variation game in the image display unit GH, as in the variation pattern MBP2 described above (screen a in FIG. 11). After that, normal reach is performed as a reach production. Further, in the image display unit GH, as in the case of the variation pattern MBP2 described above, as a result of the normal reach, a symbol combination of outliers (for example, [KABLKA]) is derived (temporarily stopped) (screen b in FIG. 11). ).

  When the variation patterns MBP3 and MBP4 are selected, the image display unit GH derives a symbol combination that is out of the normal reach, and then starts the middle row again and displays the variation. Reach production develops into long reach. When developing to the long reach, in the image display unit GH, in the restarted middle row, the decorative symbol and the blank symbol ([BL]) of the same symbol as the symbol forming the reach (reach forming symbol) and the blank symbol ([BL]) are alternately displayed. The variation display operation is repeated a plurality of times.

  In the image display unit GH, when the change in the middle row stops, the same symbol as the reach formation symbol or a blank symbol is derived (stopped display). That is, when the variation pattern MBP4 for the outlier reach effect is selected, a blank symbol is derived by stopping the variation in the middle row, so that the image display unit GH has a symbol combination (for example, [KABLKA ]) Is derived. Thereafter, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern MBP4 for the off-reach reach effect elapses, the out-of-band symbol combination (for example, [KABLKA]) is confirmed and stopped and the deviation is confirmed. If the loss is confirmed, the next design fluctuation will be caused by the start holding ball described in the reserved memory number for the special symbol or the game ball entering the start winning opening while continuing the production mode MB. The game starts.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern MBP3 for winning effect is selected, the same symbol as the reach formation symbol is derived by stopping the variation in the middle row, so that a symbol combination (for example, a big hit symbol) is displayed on the image display unit GH. , [KAKAKA]) is derived. Thereafter, when the variation time of the variation pattern MBP3 for winning effect elapses, the derived symbol combination (for example, [KAKAKA]) derived is confirmed and stopped and the jackpot is confirmed (screen c in FIG. 11). And when a big hit is decided, a big hit game is started continuously.

  In this embodiment, it is not possible to recognize the winning type that has been won from the jackpot symbol combination by the decorative symbol. Further, in this embodiment, the variation pattern MBP3 for winning effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the big hit A, B, C, D, G is won, as shown in FIG. For this reason, when a big hit symbol combination is derived via a long reach in the symbol variation game, one of the big hits A, B, C, D, G is won. In other words, if the process up to deriving the jackpot symbol combination is a process that goes through long reach (route MB1 shown in FIG. 11), it is determined that the jackpot that gives 15 rounds jackpot game is won. The winning of big hits E, F, H and small hits I that give two rounds of big hit games is denied.

  Therefore, when the jackpot symbol combination is derived via the long reach, the player can play 15 rounds (in the case of big hits A and B) or 10 rounds (big hits C, D, G) in the round game. You can win a lot of prize balls. In addition, when a jackpot symbol combination is derived via long reach, it means that one of the jackpots A, B, C, D, G is won, so the gaming state after the jackpot game is “ “Low accuracy + variation” or “high accuracy + variation”. In other words, after the big hit game, the short state until the next big hit occurs (in the case of big hit A, B, C), or the short state until the 100 symbol variation game is over (big hit D, G ) Will be granted.

  The jackpot game performed by winning one of the jackpots A, B, C, D, and G is for overall control based on the type of hit (type of jackpot) as shown in FIG. 7 (b). The CPU 36a determines and the effect during the big hit game is controlled based on the determination result. That is, when the big hit A is won, the overall control CPU 36a selects and determines any one of the special hit game, the win game BA, and the win game BB. In the present embodiment, when the game goes through the long reach, since it is not definitely notified that the big hit A is won during the symbol variation game, the big hit game started after the end of the game is the winning game BA, It becomes either BB. In the present embodiment, when the big hit A is won, the ratio for determining the winning game BA and the ratio for determining the winning game BB are respectively set to 1/2, and the overall control CPU 36a is selected by lottery. Determine the hit game.

  In addition, when the big hit B is won, the overall control CPU 36a determines either a winning game BA or a winning game BB by lottery. In the present embodiment, when the big hit B is won, the ratio for determining the winning game BA and the ratio for determining the winning game BB are each set to 1/2. The overall control CPU 36a determines the winning game BA when the big hit C is won. The overall control CPU 36a determines the winning game BB when the big hits D and G are won. Then, the overall control CPU 36a, which has determined either the winning game BA or the winning game BB according to the winning type, instructs the effect display control board 37 to produce the winning game BA or the winning game BB. The effect display device 22 is caused to perform the operation. In this way, the overall control CPU 36a determines the winning game, so that the transitional hit games BA and BB have the same meaning effect as the effect mode MA (first notification effect, second notification effect). ) Will be performed.

  When transitioning from the production mode MB to the hit games BA and BB, the military commander who appears in the “one-striking” production (see FIGS. 13 and 14) performed during these hit games BA and BB, It is a warlord corresponding to the design part of the decorative designs [KA] to [KE]. For this reason, when the game mode is changed from the production mode MB to the hit game BA, BB, the appearance result of the “one-striking” (the notification contents of the first notification effect and the second notification effect) is estimated by the appearing military commander. To get. In addition, when transitioning from the production mode MB to the hit game BA, BB, as described above, the military commander of the army appearing in the production of “One Knight” is associated with the symbol combination derived in the symbol variation game. The effect contents related to the winning games BA and BB are the same as the case of transition from the effect mode MA to the winning games BA and BB.

  Then, when the big hit A, B, C is won, the overall control CPU 36a shifts the production mode from the production mode MB to the production mode MC after the completion of 15 rounds of big game (winning game BA or winning game BB). Let On the other hand, when the big hits D and G are won, the overall control CPU 36a shifts the production mode from the production mode MB to the production mode MD after the end of the 15 round big game (hit game BB).

Next, the flow of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns MBP5 to MBP7 for winning effects will be described.
When these variation patterns MBP5 to MBP7 are selected, the reach state is formed in the image display unit GH after the start of the symbol variation game, as with the variation patterns MBP2 to MBP4 described above (screen a in FIG. 11). ), And then normal reach is performed as a reach production. Then, in the image display unit GH, as a result of the normal reach, the decorative design [K] is derived in the middle row. As a result, the image display unit GH sandwiches the middle row of the design of the enemy military commander with the reach formation of the design of the military commander of the army that has been temporarily stopped as two rows of left and right symbols. The symbol combination (for example, [KAKKA]) is temporarily stopped (screen d in FIG. 11).

  When the variation patterns MBP5 to MBP7 are selected, the reach effect develops from the normal reach to the single hit reach in the image display unit GH. When it develops to one-handed reach, in the image display part GH, while the military commander corresponding to the design part of the reach formation design (any of [KA] to [KE]) appears as the military commander of his army, A warlord corresponding to the design part of the pattern [K] derived in the line appears, and one-kicking by both warriors is started. A plurality of types of production contents for the single hit reach are prepared, and the contents of the production until the result of the game is derived, that is, the development of the single hit is selected by the overall control CPU 36a and instructed to the display control CPU 37a. For example, there is an effect in which one's military commander or an enemy military commander attacks, and an effect in which the other military commander receives the attack.

  Then, after the start of the symbol variation game (or after the start of one-handed reach), when a predetermined time has passed, an effect is made for the final of the military commander and the enemy military commander, and the result of the game is derived after that effect. The result derivation effect is performed. The content of the result derivation effect varies depending on which variation pattern of the variation patterns MBP5 to MBP7 is being played (based on which winning the symbol variation game is being performed). It is said.

  Specifically, in the case of a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MBP5 selected by winning the big hit A, a result derivation effect of displaying a character image of “win” is performed. The derivation content of this “win” is to notify the player that the jackpot A has been won. For this reason, the player can recognize that the jackpot A has been won based on the derived contents of “win”. The image display unit GH derives (temporarily stops and displays) a jackpot symbol combination (for example, [KAKAKA]) together with the result derivation effect. Thereafter, when the variation time of the variation pattern MBP5 for winning effect elapses, the derived symbol combination (for example, [KAKAKA]) of the big hit is confirmed and stopped and the big hit is decided. When the big hit is confirmed, the big hit game is started. At this time, the big hit game to be started is a special hit game when the big hit A is definitely notified in the symbol variation game (see FIG. 7B). Then, when the big hit A is won, the overall control CPU 36a shifts the production mode from the production mode MB to the production mode MC after the end of the 15 round big game (special game).

  In the case of a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MBP6 selected by winning the big hit E or the small hit I, a result derivation effect of displaying a “draw” character image is performed. The image display unit GH derives (temporarily stops and displays) a symbol combination (for example, [KAKBKA]) that suggests the probability variation together with the result derivation effect. After that, when the variation time of the variation pattern MBP6 for winning effect elapses, the symbol combination (for example, [KAKBKA]) derived from the probability variation suggestion is confirmed and stopped and the big hit or the small hit is decided. When the winning (big hit E or small hit I) is determined, the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is started. The jackpot game that is started when the jackpot E is won and the jackpot game that is started when the jackpot I is won, the appearance of the appearance of the big winning opening 29 during these hit games is as follows. Since it is set to be the same mode, it is not possible to determine which win has been won. Then, when the big hit E or the small hit I is won, the overall control CPU 36a re-shifts the production mode from the production mode MB to the production mode MB after the winning game (two round big hit game or small game). That is, the production mode MB is continued.

  In the case of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MBP7 selected by winning the big hits F and H, a result derivation effect of displaying the character image of “defeat” is performed. The image display unit GH derives (temporarily stops and displays) a symbol combination (for example, [KAKBKA]) that suggests the probability variation together with the result derivation effect. Thereafter, when the variation time of the variation pattern MBP7 for winning effect has elapsed, the symbol combination (for example, [KAKBKA]) derived from the probability variation suggestion is confirmed and stopped and the big hit is confirmed. When the big hit is confirmed, the big hit game is started. The jackpot game that starts when the jackpot F is won and the jackpot game that starts when the jackpot H is won are the same mode of appearance of the jackpot 29 during the jackpot game. Therefore, it is impossible to determine which jackpot is won. When the big hits F and H are won, the overall control CPU 36a shifts the production mode from the production mode MB to the production mode MA after the end of the two round big game.

  In the present embodiment, the variation pattern MBP5 for winning effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the big hit A is won, as shown in FIG. For this reason, in the symbol variation game, when the “winning” result derivation effect is performed via the one-stroke strike reach (when the symbol combination of the jackpot is derived), the jackpot A is won. Then, when winning the jackpot A and the winning combination is derived via a single hit reach, the player can obtain a prize ball equivalent to 15 round games in the jackpot game (special hit game). It will be. Also, when winning the jackpot A and performing the “winning” result derivation effect via a single hit reach (when the symbol combination of the jackpot is derived), the gaming state after the jackpot game is “high accuracy + variable Yes. " In other words, after the big hit game, a variable state is given until the next big hit occurs.

  In the present embodiment, the variation pattern MBP6 for winning effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the big hit E or the small hit I is won, as shown in FIG. For this reason, in the case of a symbol variation game, when a “draw” result derivation effect is performed via a one-stroke reach (when a symbol combination that suggests a probable variation is derived), the big hit E or the small hit I is won. Will be. When winning big hit E or small win I, two round big hit games or small hit games will be awarded after the end of the symbol variation game, but these win games will be awarded in comparison with 15 round big hit games. It is difficult to obtain a sphere.

  On the other hand, since the production mode MB is a game state of “high probability + no change”, the game state after the big hit game when winning the big hit E is “high positive + No change ". Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3, the gaming state after the big hit game when the small hit I is won is maintained as the gaming state at the time of the small hit win, and thus becomes “high accuracy + no change”. . That is, if the big hit E or the small hit I is won during the production mode MB, the game state does not change with respect to the game state (“high accuracy + no change”) in the symbol variation game, and the production mode MB Will be continued. As a result, if you win the big hit E or the small hit I, you still can not get the variable state, but because the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery will maintain the high probability lottery state, it will be easy to win the next big hit Become.

  In the present embodiment, the variation pattern MBP7 for winning effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when either of the big hits F and H is won, as shown in FIG. For this reason, when the effect of deriving the result of “defeat” is performed via a single hit reach in the symbol variation game (when the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion is derived), the winning combination F or H is won. Will be. If the big hit F, H is won, a 2-round big hit game will be awarded after the end of the symbol variation game, but this 2-round big hit game is harder to get a prize ball than the 15 round big hit game. It has become.

  In addition, when the big hit F is won, the game state after the big hit game is “high probability + no change” as shown in FIG. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the gaming state after the big hit game when the big hit H is won is “low probability + no change”. That is, when the big hit H is won during the effect mode MB, the gaming state changes with respect to the gaming state in the symbol variation game (“high probability + no change”). For this reason, when the result of “defeat” is derived via a single-spot reach, there is a possibility that the game state is changed to a disadvantageous state (“low probability + no change”). That is, the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery changes from the high probability lottery state to the low probability lottery state, and the variable state cannot be obtained yet. Therefore, the derivation contents in the result derivation effect indicate wins that are advantageous to the player (big hit, small win) in the order of “defeat” <“draw” <“win”.

  As described above, in the effect mode MB, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect or the hit effect is selected, after the start of the symbol variation game, the development of the game, that is, the route MB1 and the route MB2 shown in FIG. An effect of normal reach that can be a branch selection effect for deriving to which branch is performed is performed. And when it branches to route MB1, it can recognize changing from "non-variable state" to "variable state" by the production content. In the present embodiment, the production content specified by the variation pattern MBP3 that can be developed to the route MB1 is the first type production content. On the other hand, when branching to the route MB2, it is recognized that there is a case where the “non-variable state” is maintained and a case where the “non-variable state” is shifted to the “variable state” depending on the production contents. obtain. In the present embodiment, the production content specified by the variation patterns MBP5 to MBP7 that can be developed into the route MB2 is the second type production content. In this embodiment, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern MBP2 developed to the root MB1 is set shorter than the fluctuation times of the fluctuation patterns MBP5 to MBP7 developed to the root MB2 (see FIG. 7A). .

  Also, in the effect mode MB, when the symbol variation game branches to the route MB1, the degree of expectation as to whether or not the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is changed according to the reach formation symbol at that time. Further, in the effect mode MB, when the symbol variation game branches to the route MB1, the expectation level of whether or not the big winning opening 29 is advantageously opened during the big hit game is changed according to the reach formation symbol at that time. It has become. Specifically, the decorative designs [KA] to [KE] that can be reach forming symbols win the jackpot A in the order of [KA] <[KB] <[KC] <[KD] <[KE]. It is set so that it can be easily selected as a reach formation symbol. For this reason, when the reach formation symbol becomes a decorative symbol [KE], the player can increase his expectation that he has won the jackpot A. In addition, the decorative symbols [KB] to [KD] that can be reach formation symbols are set to have a high selection ratio when the big hits B, C, D, and G are won. For this reason, the player can recognize that there is a high possibility of winning the big hits B, C, D, and G when the reach formation symbols are decorative symbols [KB] to [KD]. Then, expecting a big hit B having a high degree of advantage among the big hits B, C, D, G, and seeing the development of the game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, decorative symbols [KA] to [KE] that can be reach formation symbols are jackpots E, F, and K in the order of [KE] <[KD] <[KC] <[KB] <[KA]. It is set to be easily selected as a reach formation symbol when H or small hit I is won. For this reason, in the effect mode MB, when the symbol variation game branches to the route MB2, the player can change the expectation for the transition to the effect modes MD and MC in which the variable state is given according to the reach formation symbol. . In addition, the player can recognize that there is a high possibility of shifting to the production modes MA and MB in which the variable state is not given according to the reach formation symbol.

  The effect mode MB includes a case where the route MB1 shown in FIG. For this reason, in the production mode MB, in the case of the route MB1, there is a possibility of losing, but if it hits, it is decided to shift to the production mode with the variable state, while in the case of the route MB2, the winning decision is not made. There is a possibility of transition to a production mode that does not involve a variable state. Therefore, in the production mode MB, the production flow of the route MB1 is more advantageous than the production flow of the route MB2 with respect to the presence or absence of the variable state.

  Next, description will be made on the effects of the symbol variation game during the stay in the effect mode MC and the control of the winning game effect that is given when the winner is won in the winning lottery during the stay in the effect mode MC. In the effect mode MC and the effect mode MD, the control relating to the effect of the symbol variation game and the effect of the winning game is almost the same, so the following description will be focused on the effect mode MC, and only different parts will be described. To do.

  The main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern by selecting a variation pattern distribution table to which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MC are allocated when a big winning lottery is won. At this time, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern corresponding to the value of the variation pattern distribution random number based on the type of the big hit (special symbol type) when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery. Specifically, when the big hit A is won, the main control CPU 35a selects any one of the fluctuation patterns MP3, MP4, MP5, MP6 for the 15 round big hit. Further, when one of the big hits B, D, G is won, the main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MP6 for 15 rounds big hit. Further, when the big hit C is won, the main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MP4 for the 15 round big hit. Further, when the big hit E is won, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern MP8 for two rounds big hit / small hit. Further, when the big hit F, H is won, the main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MP7 for the two round big hit.

  In addition, when the small winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MC are allocated, and selects a variation pattern. More specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects the fluctuation pattern MP8 for two rounds of big hit / small hit.

  Further, when the reach production is selected in the reach lottery, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the production mode MC are distributed, and selects a variation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern MP2 for the outlier reach effect. Further, when the reach rendering is not executed in the reach lottery, the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern distribution table in which variation patterns that can be selected in the rendering mode MC are distributed, and selects a variation pattern. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a selects the variation pattern MP1 for the offending effect.

  On the other hand, when starting the symbol variation game, the overall control CPU 36a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a stop symbol designation command. Then, the overall control CPU 36a that has input the stop symbol designation command causes the effect display device 22 to display a fixed stop according to the special symbol instructed by the stop symbol designation command as a result of the symbol variation game (result of the winning lottery). Determine the symbol combination by the decorative symbol.

  More specifically, the overall control CPU 36a displays the decorative symbols [K3], [K] when the special symbol ZA is instructed (when the big hit A is won), and when the variation patterns MP3, MP5 are selected. K7], the decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination are determined. In addition, when the special symbol ZA is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a, when the variation patterns MP4 and MP6 are selected, other decorative symbols [K0] to [K2] other than the decorative symbols [K3] and [K7]. ], [K4] to [K6], [K8], and [K9], the decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination are determined. Further, when the special symbols ZB, ZC, ZD, ZG are instructed (when the big hits B, C, D, G are won), the overall control CPU 36a other than the decorative symbols [K3], [K7] The decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination are determined from the other decorative symbols [K0] to [K2], [K4] to [K6], [K8], and [K9]. In addition, when the special symbol ZE, ZF, ZH, ZI is instructed (when the big hit E, F, H or the small hit I is won), the overall control CPU 36a determines the symbol combination of the probability change suggestion. . When determining the symbol combination that suggests the probable change, the overall control CPU 36a determines any one of the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] as the left and right two columns to be the reach formation symbol, and becomes the final stop column. One of the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] different from the reach formation symbol is determined as the symbol in the middle row.

  In addition, when an outlier symbol is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines an outlier symbol combination. In the case of determining a symbol combination that is out of place, the overall control CPU 36a selects a symbol combination that cannot form a reach when the variation pattern MP1 for out-of-direction effect is instructed, as a decorative symbol [K0] to [K9]. To determine. For example, [K1K5K3] or [K0K0K1] or the like is determined as the symbol combination of detachment. In addition, when the variation pattern MP2 for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 36a determines any one of the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] as the left and right two rows of symbols to be the reach formation symbols. Then, any one of the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] different from the reach formation symbol is determined as the symbol of the middle column which is the final stop column.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] used in the symbol variation game in the effect mode MC, when winning in a win lottery (big hit lottery and small win lottery), the types of wins and the types of change patterns The selection ratio is set according to. Therefore, the overall control CPU 36a determines the symbol combination based on the selection ratio determined according to the type of winning pattern and the type of variation pattern when winning in the winning lottery (big winning lottery and small winning lottery). To do. Note that the selection ratios defined for the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] will be described in detail later.

  Then, under the control of the display control CPU 37a, the effect display device 22 performs a symbol variation game of the effect contents based on the variation pattern, and derives a symbol combination of decorative symbols and displays them in a fixed stop state.

  In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game performed in the production mode MC, the process of deriving the result that can recognize the hit (the symbol combination of the big hit or the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion) is roughly classified into two types. That is, the process of deriving the result that can recognize the hit is distinguished according to the type of variation pattern selected when the winning is won. Specifically, when the variation pattern MP4 having the variation content “per battle early stage” is selected, and the other variation patterns MP5, MP6, MP7, and MP8 having the variation content “match battle reach” are selected. The process of deriving the result that can recognize the hit is distinguished from the case where the hit is made.

  Hereinafter, the process of deriving the result that can recognize the winning in the effect mode MC (the flow of the symbol variation game) will be described in detail according to the effect flow shown in FIG. In the following description, the flow of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP2 for the outlier reach effect and the variation patterns MP3 to MP8 for the hit effect will be described.

  When the variation pattern MP2 for the outlier reach effect is selected, in the image display unit GH of the effect display device 22, the change from the left column to the right column is sequentially stopped every time a predetermined time elapses after the symbol variation game is started. Then, the symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. At this time, the same symbol selected from the decorative symbols [K0] to [K9] is temporarily stopped and displayed in the left and right columns, and as a result, a reach state is formed in the image display unit GH. For example, a reach state such as [K1 ↓ K1] (↓ indicates changing) is formed as in the image display unit GH shown in the screen a of FIG. In the image display unit GH, normal reach is performed as a reach effect after the reach state is formed. In this normal reach effect, the middle row is variably displayed according to the above-mentioned symbol display order, and the middle row stops after a predetermined time has elapsed, so that the decorative design different from the left and right two-row reach formation symbols. Is derived (displayed once stopped). Thereafter, in the image display unit GH, when the variation time of the variation pattern MP2 for reach variation elapses, the derived symbol combination derived (for example, [K1K2K1]) is displayed in a fixed stop state, and the displacement is confirmed.

  On the other hand, when the variation pattern MP3 for winning effect is selected, the reach state is formed after the start of the symbol variation game in the image display unit GH, as in the variation pattern MP2 described above, and then as the reach effect. Normal reach is performed. In this production of normal reach, the middle row is displayed in a variable manner according to the above-mentioned symbol display order, and the middle row stops after a predetermined period of time, so that the same pattern as the two left and right reach formation symbols. The symbol is derived (displayed once stopped). Thereafter, in the image display unit GH, when the variation time of the variation pattern MP3 for winning effect elapses, the derived jackpot symbol combination (for example, [K3K3K3]) is fixedly stopped and displayed to determine the big hit. In addition, after the end of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP3 for winning effect, the game shifts to the special winning game, and after the special winning game ends, the mode shifts to the effect mode MC.

Next, the flow of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP4 for winning effect will be described.
In the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP4 for hit production that can specify “match battle reach early stage” as the variation content, the reach state is formed after a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the game (see FIG. 12 screen a), transition to battle reach. When moving to battle reach, in the image display section GH, first (before the battle), the monarch of the own army and the monarch of the enemy army appear, and the monarchs battle each other and derive the game result. Is performed (screen b in FIG. 12). Then, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP4 for the winning effect, the own monarch wins in the monk-striking effect, and the winning combination is derived on the image display unit GH. Thereafter, when the variation time of the variation pattern MP4 for winning effect elapses, the derived symbol combination (for example, [K1K1K1]) is displayed in a definite stop state and the big hit is decided. And when a big hit is decided, a big hit game is started continuously.

  In the present embodiment, the winning type cannot be recognized from the jackpot symbol combinations of other decorative symbols excluding the decorative symbols [K3] and [K7]. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern MP4 for winning effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the big hits A and C are won, as shown in FIG. For this reason, after the transition to the battle reach in the symbol variation game, if the winner of the monarch strike is achieved and the symbol combination of the big hit is derived, either the big hit A or C is won. In other words, if the process of deriving the jackpot symbol combination is a process of winning with a monk-running performance (route MC1 shown in FIG. 12), it is a jackpot that gives 15 rounds of jackpot game, and the jackpot game After the end, it is determined that the big hit that gives the probable change state (until the next big hit, variable state) is confirmed, and the winning of the big hit D to H or the small hit I is denied. The jackpot D is a jackpot that is given after the jackpot game is finished, but the short-cut state is given only until 100 symbol variation games are finished. The big hit G is a non-probable big hit. The jackpots E, F, and H are jackpots that give two round jackpot games.

  Therefore, when the game shifts to battle reach and wins with the effect of the monarch, the player can recognize that the probable state is given after the jackpot game ends when the jackpot symbol combination is derived. Then, the player can acquire the number of prize balls equivalent to 15 rounds (in the case of jackpot A) or 10 rounds (in the case of jackpot C) in the jackpot game. When the symbol variation game in which the winning combination is derived and the winning combination of symbols is derived, the winning game is continued.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the jackpot game to be played after the end of the symbol variation game in the effect mode MC is determined by the overall control CPU 36a based on the type of winning (the type of jackpot), and the determination result The production during the big hit game is controlled based on the game. That is, when the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP4 for winning effect is performed, the overall control CPU 36a has won either of the big hits A and C, and the big hit A during the symbol variation game Since the fact that the player has won is not clearly notified, the big hit game started after the end of the game is determined as the hit game BA. Then, the overall control CPU 36a that has determined the winning game BA instructs the effect display control board 37 to perform the effect for the winning game BA, and causes the effect display device 22 to perform the effect.

  When the transition is made from the production mode MC to the winning game BA, the production is performed in the same manner as when the production mode MA, MB is changed to the winning game BA. You will be notified if you have won. That is, when the big hit A is won, the first notification effect is performed, and when the big hit C is won, the first notification effect is performed. When the big hits A and C are won, the overall control CPU 36a re-shifts the production mode from the production mode MC to the production mode MC after the end of the 15 round big game (hit game BA). Note that, in the present embodiment, as described above, the mode can be shifted to any one of the winning games BA and BB from the effect modes MA and MC, but the transition condition (winning type) for the winning game BA is used. Is different. That is, in the production mode MA, as shown in FIG. 6B, even if the big hit B is won, the game can be shifted to the winning game BA, but in the production mode MC, as shown in FIG. In the case of winning, the game is shifted to the winning game BB and is not transferred to the winning game BA.

Next, the flow of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns MP5 to MP8 for winning effects will be described.
In a symbol variation game based on variation patterns MP5 to MP8 for winning effects that can specify that “the game result is derived from the battle” can be specified as the variation content, a reach state is formed after a predetermined time has elapsed after the game starts. Along with this (screen a in FIG. 12), the process shifts to battle reach. When the battle reach is reached, in the image display unit GH, as in the case of the variation pattern MP4, first (before the battle), a monarch strike is performed (screen b in FIG. 12). In the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns MP5 to MP8 for winning effects, the prince of his army loses in the performance of the monarch. As a result, the image display unit GH shifts to the content of the battle in which the soldiers and the enemy soldiers compete in the battle and derive the game result (screen c in FIG. 12).

  When shifting to the content of the battle, the image display unit GH first starts a force derivation effect for deriving the strength of the own army and the strength of the enemy army. In the force derivation production, first, the fixed strength number is presented as the strength of the own army and the strength of the enemy army. Is performed with a content that is increased or decreased by a predetermined number with respect to the fixed strength. The types of soldiers are classified into “bowmen”, “cavalry”, “merchant” and “merchant”. The strength of these four types of soldiers is that “archer” is set as the strongest soldier, “cavalry” is strong against “merchant”, “merchant” is against “merchant” Strong soldier, “Merchant” is set as a strong soldier against “Cavalry”. In other words, "Cavalry" is set as a weak soldier against "Merchant", "Merchant" is set as a weak soldier against "Cavalry", and "Merchant" is set as a weak soldier against "Merchant" Yes.

  In such a soldier's strength setting, in the force derivation production, when the soldier is dominant (strong soldier) over the enemy soldier, the soldier's strength is doubled and the soldier is against the enemy soldier. In case of inferiority (weak soldiers), reduce your troops by half. Also, in the troop strength derivation effect, if the soldier and enemy soldier are the same (same soldier), the fixed strength is maintained. Note that the result of the troop strength derivation effect (increase or decrease in troops) is associated with the hit type. In other words, if the big hits A and B are won, it is easier to derive the result of the increase in the force than the decrease or maintenance of the force, and if the big hits D, G, E and the small hit I are won, It is easier to derive the result of maintaining the force than increasing or decreasing the force. In addition, when the big hits F and H are won, it is easier to derive the result of the decrease in the strength than the increase in the strength or the maintenance of the strength. The content of the military force derivation effect (including the derivation result) is determined by the overall control CPU 36a based on the hit type, and is sent to the effect display device 22 by instructing the display control CPU 37a.

  Then, after deriving the military force by the military force deriving effect, the image display unit GH displays an image of the battle scene between the soldier and the enemy soldiers, and derives the result of the battle after a predetermined time. Specifically, in the case of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP5, since the jackpot A is won, the image display unit GH indicates “winning” as a result of the battle “victory” "Is displayed, and a combination of jackpots is derived (stopped display). The result of this “win” is to inform the player that the jackpot A has been won. Therefore, the player can recognize that the jackpot A has been won from the result of “win”.

  Thereafter, when the variation time of the variation pattern MP5 for winning effect has elapsed, the derived symbol combination (for example, [K1K1K1]) derived is displayed in a fixed stop state and the big hit is decided. And when a big hit is decided, a big hit game is started continuously. At this time, the big hit game to be started is a special hit game when the big hit A is definitely notified in the symbol variation game (see FIG. 8B). Then, when the big hit A is won, the overall control CPU 36a re-shifts the production mode from the production mode MC to the production mode MC after the end of the 15-round big game (special game).

  Further, in the case of the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns MP6 and MP7, the image display unit GH displays the image indicating the defeat of the army before deriving the result of the battle, and indicates the start of the revival effect. A character image of “revival chance” is displayed (screen d in FIG. 12). Success and failure patterns are prepared for the rebirth production. And in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP6 that can be selected when the big hit A, B, D, G is won, the revival effect is performed by the success pattern, so that the symbol combination of the big hit is derived (temporarily stopped display) Is done. Thereafter, when the variation time of the variation pattern MP6 for winning effect elapses, the derived symbol combination (for example, [K1K1K1]) of the big hit is confirmed and stopped and the big hit is decided. And when a big hit is decided, a big hit game is started continuously. At this time, the big hit game to be started is determined to be a win game BB by including the fact that the type of the win in the symbol variation game is not clearly notified and the case where the big hit G which is an uncertain variable big win is won. (See FIG. 8 (b)). When the big hits A and B are won, the overall control CPU 36a re-shifts the production mode from the production mode MC to the production mode MC after the end of the 15 round big game (hit game BB). On the other hand, when the big hits D and G are won, the overall control CPU 36a shifts the production mode from the production mode MC to the production mode MD after the end of the 15 round big game (hit game BB).

  On the other hand, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP7 that can be selected when the big hits F and H are won, the revival effect is performed by the failure pattern. A character image of “defeat” indicating the result of “Yes” is displayed, and a symbol combination of probability change suggestion is derived (stopped display). After that, when the variation time of the variation pattern MP7 for winning effect elapses, the symbol combination (for example, [K1K0K1]) derived from the probability variation suggestion is confirmed and stopped and the big hit is confirmed. And when a big hit is decided, a big hit game is started continuously. At this time, the jackpot game to be started is a two-round jackpot game. The overall control CPU 36a shifts the effect mode from the effect mode MC to the effect mode MD after the end of the two round big hit game. In other words, the CPU 36a for overall control includes winning for the big hit H which is a non-probable big hit when deriving the result of "defeat", so that the gaming state after the big hit game is "high probability + shortage" ”To“ low accuracy + no change ”, and the transition to the production mode MD is made.

  In the case of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP8, the image display unit GH displays a character image of “Draw” indicating the result of “Draw both arms” as a result of the battle, and also suggests a probability change. This symbol combination is derived (stopped display). After that, when the variation time of the variation pattern MP8 for winning effect elapses, the symbol combination (for example, [K1K0K1]) derived from the probability variation suggestion is displayed as a fixed stop and the winning (big hit or small hit) is fixed. When the winning is determined, the winning game (big hit game or small hit game) is started. At this time, the big hit game to be started is a two-round big hit game when the big hit E is won, and is a small hit game when the big hit I is won. Then, the overall control CPU 36a re-shifts the effect mode from the effect mode MC to the effect mode MC after the end of the two round big hit game or the small hit game. That is, the overall control CPU 36a does not include the non-probable change big hit when deriving the result of “draw”, and the gaming state after the big hit game is maintained as “high probability + short change”. Then, transition to the production mode MC.

  In the event that the big hits F and H are won during the stay in the production mode MD, and the design variation game based on the variation pattern MP7 is performed, the design variation game production and the end of the game are performed as in the production mode MC. A big hit game is played, but the mode transition form after the big hit game is different. That is, in this case, since the winning for the big hit H which is a non-probable big hit is included, after the big hit game is over, the transition is made to the effect mode MD.

  When the big hit E or small hit I is won during the stay in the production mode MD and the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern MP8 is performed, the symbol variation game production and the end of the game are performed as in the demonstration mode MC. A later winning game is performed, but the mode transition mode after the winning game is different. In other words, when the big hit E is won, the gaming state is “high accuracy + changeable”, so the gaming state may change, but when the small hit I is won, The state remains “low probability + shortage” and the gaming state cannot change. For this reason, when the big hit E or the small hit I is won during the stay in the production mode MD, the operation mode MD is transferred again without changing to the production mode MC.

  In the present embodiment, the content of the direction for deriving the result of the battle reach is a win (big hit, small win) advantageous to the player in the order of “defeat” <“draw” <“revival → success” <“win”. Will be won. That is, in the case of “defeat”, it is difficult to obtain a winning ball by a two-round jackpot game, and includes a non-probable bonus jackpot. “Draw” is difficult to obtain a winning ball by a two-round big hit game, but does not include a non-probable change big hit, and the game state shifts to “high probability + shortage” or maintains the game state. “Resurrection → Success” includes a non-probable big hit, but it is easy to obtain a prize ball by a 15 round big hit game. In addition, since “winning” is won by big hit A, it is a promising big hit and it is easy to obtain a prize ball by 15 round big hit games.

  As described above, in the production mode MC, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach production or the hit production for which “match battle reach” is specified as the variation content is selected, the development of the game after the start of the symbol variation game, In other words, a monarch-striking effect that can be a branch selection effect for deriving which of the route MC1 and the route MC2 to branch to is shown in FIG. And when it branches to route MC1, it can recognize that it shifts to a "probability change state" after the big hit game by the content of the effect. On the other hand, in the case of branching to the route MC2, it can be recognized that the transition to either the “probability change state” or the “non-probability change state” after the big hit game is ended according to the contents of the effect. That is, when branching to the root MC2, since there is a possibility of a non-probable big hit, comparing the case of branching to the root MC1 and the case of branching to the root MC2, the player who branched to the root MC1 It is advantageous for. In the present embodiment, in the production of the monarch, the content of the effect that the lord of the army wins (the content of the effect that branches to the route MC1) becomes the first branch result, and the content of the effect that the enemy monarch wins (the effect branches to the route MC2). The production content) is the second branch result.

  Then, in the production mode MC, when the production is performed by branching to the route MC1, the game proceeds to the winning game BA, and the winning mode (large winning prize opening 29) is determined by the notification effect (first notification effect) in the winning game BA. Whether or not the opening operation is advantageously performed). In other words, in the case of the route MC1, the winning mode is notified by each effect in the symbol variation game and the winning game BA. On the other hand, in the effect mode MC, when the effect is performed by branching to the route MC2, including the case of transitioning to the winning game BB through the reviving effect, the case of notifying the winning mode by the effect of the symbol variation game, There is a case where the winning mode is notified by each effect in the game and the winning game BB.

  In the present embodiment, when a winning combination is won, either the variation pattern MP4 that branches to the root MC1 and the effect is performed and the variation patterns MP5 to MP8 that branch to the route MC2 and the effect are selected. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when winning a non-probable big hit, one of the fluctuation patterns MP5 to MP8 branched to the root MC2 and produced is selected, and the fluctuation branched to the root MC1 and produced. The pattern MP4 is not selected. The variation time of the variation pattern MP4 is set to be shorter than the variation patterns MP5 to MP8. In the present embodiment, the variation content based on the variation pattern MP4 becomes the first performance content that defines the first production time, and the variation content based on the variation patterns MP5 to MP8 defines the second production time. The production content. In the present embodiment, when the variation pattern MP4 is selected, the branching to the route MC1 is performed, and after that, the game is transferred to the hit game BA. Therefore, selecting the change pattern MP4 is a win game. The execution of the notification effect (first notification effect) in BA is determined. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the variation patterns MP5 to MP8 are selected, branching to the route MC2 is performed, and after that, the transition to the game BB is made, so the variation patterns MP5 to MP8 are selected. This means that the execution of the notification effect (second notification effect) in the winning game BB is determined. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a that determines the variation pattern functions as a notification effect determining means.

  In the effect mode MC, as shown in the effect flow of FIG. 12, a first notification form for notifying the winning mode during the big hit game (win game BA, BB) performed after the end of the symbol variation game; There is a second notification mode for notifying the winning mode during the symbol variation game. And in the first notification form, when winning the game after winning the monarchy after the formation of the reach, the winning mode is announced during the hit game BA, and when the monarchy is playing the defeat, the battle is reached through the battle reach There are two types of notification modes for notifying the winning mode during the winning hit game BB (see FIG. 12). In addition, during the hit game BA, the result of “winning”, the result of “escape”, and the result of “resurrection → win” are given through a one-stroke performance according to the type of hit. There are three types of notifications for notifying (see FIG. 13). In addition, during the hit game BB, the result of “win”, the result of “defeat”, and the result of “resurrection → win” are given through a one-stroke performance according to the type of win. There are prepared three types of notification forms for notifying (see FIG. 14). On the other hand, in the second notification form, through the effect of battle reach according to the type of winning, when the result of “win” is notified, when the result of “draw” is notified, and “defeat” Three types of notification modes for notifying the result are prepared (see FIG. 12).

  As described above, as described above, a plurality of types of notification modes until the winning mode is notified are prepared for each of the first notification mode and the second notification mode. Then, which notification mode is used to notify the winning mode is shown in FIG. 8 (b) and the variation contents of the variation patterns MP4 to MP8 selected in accordance with the type of winning (see FIG. 8 (a)). It is defined by the transition mode of the hit game.

  In the present embodiment, the content (process) of the production until the notification of the winning mode is performed through the performance of a single hit, and various branches are made depending on the above-described notification mode. Therefore, after the reach formation based on the variation patterns MP4 to MP8 is performed. The effect contents and the effect contents of the hit games BA and BB (the effect contents of the round effect) are the branch effect contents. In the present embodiment, the content of the plurality of effects that wins with the effect of one-stroke and informs the winning mode with the winning game BA becomes the branch effect contents constituting the first branch effect content group. In the present embodiment, the second branch effect includes a plurality of effect contents for defeating in a single-game effect and informing the winning aspect in the symbol variation game, and a plurality of effect contents informing the winning aspect in the winning game BB. It becomes the branch production content that constitutes the content group. Further, in the present embodiment, in the effect mode MC, the winning mode is notified by the effect of causing the player to recognize the winning aspect by the combination of the effect of the symbol variation game and the effect during the winning game, and the effect of the symbol variable game. The effect is a winning aspect recognition effect. Also, in this embodiment, the effects (design variation game effects, winning game effects) performed in the process until the winning mode is notified are shared regardless of the type of winning. It is difficult to discriminate the winning mode from the performance up to the notification production unit (“win”, “draw”, “runaway”, “defeat”, etc.) that informs the mode. In addition, the common part of production becomes a common production part.

  And the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the production mode MC, depending on the type of reach formation symbol derived during the symbol variation game, when the winning aspect recognition effect is executed with any branching effect content, It is configured to be able to assume whether the winning mode with high advantage is won or not. In realizing this configuration, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the combination of the variation patterns MP3 to MP8 for winning effects shown in the variation pattern table shown in FIG. The selection ratio of each symbol when is selected is set. Specifically, the selection ratio of each symbol is set so that it is easy to notify the winning mode with a high degree of advantage during a hit game, and vice versa. And In addition, the selection ratio of each symbol is set so that it is easy to notify a winning mode with a high degree of advantage during a symbol variation game, and vice versa. . In addition, for a single symbol, it is set to easily notify a winning mode having a high degree of advantage in both cases of winning game and variable symbol game. Such a setting can be determined by assigning random numbers for symbol selection used to select reach formation symbols for variation patterns MP3 to MP8 for winning effects and hit types.

  For example, the decoration ratio [K0] used in the production mode MC of the present embodiment has a selection ratio as described below. In other words, the decorative pattern [K0] is defeated by the directing of the monarch, the transition rate to the battle reach is high, and the result of “defeat” in the battle reach, that is, the hit mode with low advantage is easily reported. The selection ratio is set in. On the other hand, the decorative symbol [K0] wo n’t win the game by directing the monarch, or “defeat → resurrection” in the battle reach, but the percentage of transition to BA, BB is low. The selection ratio is set so that it is easy to notify the result of “win”, that is, the winning mode with high advantage.

  In such a setting, first, in order to increase the rate of transition to battle reach, the selection rate of the decorative pattern [K0] for the variation pattern MP4 that defines the variation content to be won by the monarch's directing is shifted to battle reach. It is set lower than the selection ratio of the decorative pattern [K0] for the variation patterns MP5 to MP8. In order to make it easier to notify the result of “defeat” in the battle reach, the selection ratio of the decorative pattern [K0] when the big hit F, H is won and the variation pattern MP7 is selected is determined as the battle reach. To set higher than the selection ratio of the decorative pattern [K0] in the variation patterns MP5, MP6, and MP8 for reporting the results of “win”, “defeat → resurrection”, and “draw”. In order to make it easy to notify the result of “win” in the winning games BA and BB, the selection ratio of the decorative pattern [K0] when the variation patterns MP4 and MP6 are selected is set to the big hit C, D, G Set higher for winning big hits A and B than for winning.

  In addition, as for the decorative pattern [K7] used in the production mode MC of the present embodiment, the selection ratio is determined as described below. That is, the decorative symbol [K7] is set so as to easily notify the winning mode having a high degree of advantage in both the winning game and the symbol changing game. In such a setting, in order to make it easy to notify the result of “win” in the battle reach, the selection ratio of the decorative pattern [K7] when the variation pattern MP5 is selected is set to “defeat → resurrection” in the battle reach. , Higher than the selection ratio of the decorative pattern [K7] in the variation patterns MP6 to MP8 for informing the result of “defeat” and “draw”. On the other hand, in order to make it easier to notify the result of “win” in the hit games BA and BB, the selection ratio of the decorative pattern [K7] when the variation patterns MP4 and MP6 are selected is set to the big hit C, D, G Set higher for winning big hits A and B than for winning.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the case of notifying the winning mode that is won during the winning game (big hit game), a plurality of notification effects (the first notification effect and winning in the winning game BA are different) The second notification effect during the game BB can be performed. More specifically, during the winning game BA, a notification effect that affects the number of winning balls that can be acquired during the winning game is performed. During the winning game BB, the gaming state after the winning game is ended. A notification effect for notification is performed. Thereby, a change can be brought about in the production | presentation in a hit game (big hit game), and the interest in a hit game can be improved. In addition, the player can be interested in what kind of winning game is to be transferred to after the end of the symbol variation game.

  (2) The first notification effect in the winning game BA is an effect that is performed when a winning game is won. Then, in the first notification effect, a winning mode that is distinguished depending on whether or not the special winning opening 29 is advantageously opened to the player during the round game is notified. As a result, the player can recognize that he / she has won the probable big hit at the stage of transition to the hit game BA. For this reason, during a winning game, the player is given a high chance of obtaining a lot of prize balls in a state in which the player has a sense of security that a certain change state will be given after the winning game ends. It can be noted whether or not. In other words, the player has a sense of expectation that he / she has won an advantageous win in a state where it is not known whether or not a probable change state is given and whether or not many prize balls can be obtained. If the player finds that the probability variation state is not given and it is difficult to obtain a lot of prize balls during the winning game, there is a possibility that the interest will be lowered at that time. However, in the present embodiment, by providing the first notification effect that is performed in a state in which the probability variation big hit is fixed, it is possible to create a case that allows the player to play a game with a sense of security. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest in the hit game.

  (3) Further, in the present embodiment, a second notification effect in the winning game BB is provided for expecting whether or not the probability variation state is given (and whether or not many prize balls can be obtained). . For this reason, the first notification effect and the second notification effect allow the player to have different expectations during the winning game, thereby improving the interest in the winning game. Then, it is possible to make the player interested in whether to shift to the winning game BA or the winning game BB.

  (4) In the present embodiment, it is determined whether to shift to the winning game BA or the winning game BB according to the winning type, so that the winning type that can be expected in each winning game is uniquely determined. be able to. For example, in the hit game BA, it is an effect for recognizing any one of the big hits A, B, and C, and the type of the big hit that can be recognized is uniquely determined. Therefore, the hit games BA and BB can be clearly differentiated, and the matters to be expected of the player can be easily understood.

  (5) In the present embodiment, in the opening production of the hit games BA and BB, it is informed in what manner the win game is played in an advantageous state for the player. It is possible to make the matters to be expected easier to understand. Further, the difference between the hit games BA and BB can be clarified.

  (6) The variation time of the symbol variation game when shifting to the winning game BA is set shorter than the variation time of the symbol variation game when shifting to the winning game BB. A player who plays a game with the pachinko gaming machine 10 having a probability variation function normally plays a game while expecting to win the probability variation big hit, and wins the probability variation big hit again during the probability variation state, and continues the probability variation state. Play games while expecting. For this reason, during the symbol variation game, it is possible to make a notice effect that can definitely recognize the probability variation jackpot, and then to perform a reach effect with a long variation time before shifting to the jackpot game, the probability variation state continues. There is a risk of irritation to the player who expects to make it happen, and the interest in reaching the reach is reduced. For this reason, in the present embodiment, as a variation pattern for creating a situation for recognizing that a winning game is a winning game in a symbol variation game, a variation pattern with a short variation time of the symbol variation game (effect of monarchy) By providing and immediately shifting to the big hit game, it is possible to prevent the sense of expectation to continue the probabilistic state from being spoiled.

  (7) On the other hand, by creating a variation pattern (production of battle reach) for a long variation time of the symbol variation game as a variation pattern when creating a situation in which it is not known whether the probability variation big hit or non-probability big hit is won, Can fully expect the expectation of a probabilistic state. In addition, during the probabilistic state, it is possible to realize an effect that responds to the player's desire to play a game in a situation where the probable state has been given for a long time.

  (8) In the case of winning a big hit A (a big hit with a promising big hit and a large number of winning balls), there is also an effect content that is definitely notified during the symbol variation game. As a result, a situation in which it is possible to recognize that the big hit A has been won during the symbol variation game is created, and the interest of the symbol variation game can be improved. Also, in the event of definite notification that the big hit A is won during the symbol variation game, the variation of the hit game is increased by shifting to the special hit game having a different effect content from the hit games BA and BB. be able to. In addition, it is possible to give a sense of superiority to the transition to the special hit game.

  (9) All types of jackpots to be notified in the notification effect of winning games BA and BB are all awarded jackpot games with the same number of rounds. For this reason, since the notification content of the round notification device RH is also the same, it is difficult to recognize which jackpot is won until the notification result by the notification effect is derived. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest with respect to the hit games BA and BB.

  (10) When the big hit A is won, the game is shifted to either the winning game BA or BB. For this reason, even if it shifts to any of the winning games BA and BB, it can be expected that the big hit A is won.

  (11) In the production modes MC and MD, a symbol selection rate that can form a reach state in the symbol variation game is set for the effect contents from the start of the symbol variation game to the notification of the winning mode. For this reason, it can be assumed whether the winning mode with high advantage is won by the reach formation symbol and the development of the production. Therefore, when the reach state is formed in the symbol change game, the player can be made to pay attention to the effect while assuming the aspect of winning from the development of the subsequent effects and the reach formation symbols. That is, when a hit mode (big hit A) with a high degree of advantage can be assumed from the relationship between reach formation symbols and production development, it can be expected that the assumed result is derived. In addition, since the reach formation pattern and the development of the production are not definitely associated, even if the possible hit mode is likely to be a hit mode with low advantage, the win mode is finally Until this is derived, the feeling of expectation can be maintained.

  (12) Until the winning mode is clearly notified, it will be developed according to the common performance contents, so that the player can assume the winning mode from the reach formation pattern, and the higher hit level is more advantageous. It is possible to visually recognize the production while keeping a sense of expectation for being won.

  (13) In the production modes MC and MD, the winning mode that can be assumed from the reach formation symbol can be changed according to the result of the monarch's performance. In other words, if the result of the monarch ’s performance is “win”, it is possible to assume whether or not the grand prize winning opening 29 is advantageously opened during the round game, and the result of the monarch ’s performance is “defeat”. In this case, in addition to whether or not there is a high probability that the probability change state is high, it can be assumed whether or not the special winning opening 29 is advantageously opened during the round game.

  (14) The first-type production contents that can be recognized to shift to the variable state after completion of the winning game, and the variable state and the non-variable state when the winning lottery is won in the production mode MB The second production content that can be recognized to be shifted to any one of the production modes MA controlled by the. Thereby, a change can be brought about in the effect during the symbol variation game of the effect mode MB, and the interest during the symbol variation game can be improved. In addition, the player can be interested in what kind of production contents the symbol variation game is developed.

  (15) In the effect mode MB, in addition to the two effect contents described above, after the end of the symbol variation game, it is recognized that the effect mode MB is continued without changing the game state with respect to the game state in the game. It has possible production contents. In this way, by creating a situation in which the effect mode MB is continued, the effect during the symbol variation game can be further changed.

  (16) In the effect mode MB, the degree of expectation as to whether or not the probable change state is given after the end of the winning game changes depending on the type of reach formation symbol that forms the reach state in the symbol variation game. For this reason, not only the production contents of the symbol variation game but also the type of reach formation symbol can be given interest.

  (17) In the effect mode MB, the degree of expectation as to whether or not the special winning opening 29 is advantageously opened during the winning game varies depending on the type of reach formation symbol that forms the reach state in the symbol variation game. For this reason, not only the production contents of the symbol variation game but also the type of reach formation symbol can be given interest.

  (18) In the effect mode MB, the degree of expectation of changing to the effect mode MA controlled in the variable state or the non-variable state varies depending on the type of reach formation symbol that forms the reach state in the symbol variation game. To do. For this reason, not only the production contents of the symbol variation game but also the type of reach formation symbol can be given interest.

  (19) The variation time until the game ends is changed depending on whether the symbol variation game is played with the first type effect content or the second type effect content. Specifically, the variation time when the symbol variation game is played with the first type effect content is set shorter than the variation time when the symbol variation game is performed with the second type effect content. In the case of being performed with the type 2 effect content, the effect mode may be shifted to the effect mode MA, and the player can fully expect the expectation of the effect desired by the player.

  (20) In the present embodiment, when the symbol variation game is played with the second type effect content, the winning is determined. For this reason, the player's sense of expectation can be sufficiently given to what effect results are derived.

  (21) The production mode MB is a production mode of “no change”. For this reason, in the production mode MB, whether to branch to the route MB1 (confirmed with change) or branch to the route MB2 (including continuation without change) is highly interested for the player. In particular, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the hit type is a hit with no change (big hit E, F, H and small hit I), or demoted to "low accuracy + no change". Since the winning hit (big hit H) is included, the player is highly interested in whether or not he can benefit from the “high probability lottery state” obtained by winning the big hit E. In other words, when branching to the route MB1, a winning ball corresponding to at least 10 round games can be obtained although it includes a probable big hit (big hit H), so when entering the production mode MB, The branch to the route MB1 is strongly desired. Therefore, in the production mode MB, an effective production can be realized by making a branch to the route MB1 and the route MB2.

  (22) The production modes MB and MC in the “high probability lottery state” are provided, and the transition mode of the winning game after branching in the production modes MB and MC is different. More specifically, in the production mode MC, the game shifts to the hit game BA when the probability variable big hit is confirmed, and shifts to the hit game BB when the non-probable variable big hit is included. On the other hand, in the production mode MB, when the variable state is confirmed (regardless of the probability change big hit and the non-probable big hit), the game BA, BB is transferred, and when the non-change state is included, the result (win Aspect) is derived. For this reason, the production | presentation with the change according to production mode MB and MC can be implement | achieved, and the improvement of an interest can be aimed at.

  (23) In addition, the production mode MB in the “non-variable state” and the production modes MC and MD in the “variable state” are provided, and in these production modes MB to MD, the effect of notifying the winning mode is performed. Thus, it is possible to realize a change in production between “variable state” and “non-variable state”. In other words, since the production mode MB is triggered by winning the big hit E where it is difficult to obtain a prize ball, whether or not the player in the production mode MB wins a big hit where it is easy to obtain a prize ball. Pay attention to. In other words, the game mode of whether to win the big hit that can be expected to win the prize ball and shift to the production mode MC, MD or between the production modes MA, MB is given to the production mode MB. . On the other hand, in the production modes MC and MD, the player is in the production modes MC and MD because the transition to the big hits A to D and G, which are easier to obtain a prize ball than the two round big hit games, is triggered. Pay attention to whether or not the next big hit is a big hit with high advantage. That is, the game mode of whether the probability variation state continues is given to the production modes MC and MD. For this reason, the production | presentation which changes according to production mode MB-MD can be implement | achieved by implement | achieving the production | presentation which alert | reports the aspect according to presentation mode MB-MD, and can aim at the improvement of interest.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
-In embodiment, you may change the kind of jackpot. For example, a jackpot type that grants jackpot games with different upper limit round numbers (for example, 15 round jackpot game and 7 round jackpot game) is set, and which jackpot is won is determined based on the winning game BA, BB. You may comprise so that it may alert | report. In this case, since it is possible to distinguish whether or not the special winning opening 29 is advantageously opened by the difference in the number of rounds, each round game may be opened in the same opening mode. Of course, when the upper limit number of rounds is different, the round game may be released in different release modes.

  In the embodiment, by including the non-probable big hit in the type of hit when shifting to the hit game BA, the first prize effect 29 performed during the hit game BA is advantageously opened by the big prize opening 29 You may position as an effect which alert | reports whether it act | operates. In this case, whether or not the probability variation state is given may be set in a concealed state (not notified) in the performance during the winning game BA.

In the embodiment, the first notification effect may be performed by the winning game BB, and the second notification effect may be performed by the winning game BA.
In the embodiment, the effect of the monarch and the revival effect may be a player participation effect by operating the effect operation button BT. With such a production form, the player can participate in the production at the point where the production content branches, so that the interest can be improved.

  In the embodiment, the result of the “draw” in the symbol variation game in the effect mode MB and the result of the “draw” in the symbol variation game in the effect modes MC and MD may be derived in the case of outlier reach. good. Further, the result of “defeat” in the symbol variation game in the effect mode MB may be derived in the case of a loss reach. In this case, since the winning lottery is not won, the mode may be changed from the effect mode MB to the effect mode MA without changing the state, or the effect mode MB may be continued.

  -In embodiment, you may change the symbol used by production mode MA-MD. For example, you may use a common symbol by each production mode MA-MD. In addition, a dedicated symbol may be used in each effect mode. The number of symbols may be changed.

  In the embodiment, the production mode MB is the production mode of “high accuracy + no change”, but may be the production mode of “high accuracy + change”. Further, the effect mode MB may be a “probability change latency mode” in which one of the gaming states of “low probability + no change” and “high accuracy + no change” can be taken.

  -In embodiment, you may change the production content which derives the result of "draw" in production mode MB-MD into the production content which derives the result of "defeat". In this case, when the big hit E or the small hit I is won in the production mode MC, the process shifts to the production mode MD, and when the big hit E or the small hit I is won in the production mode MB, the process goes to the production mode MA.

-In embodiment, you may set the selection ratio of a symbol similarly to the symbol used by production mode MC and MD with respect to the symbol used by production mode MB.
In the embodiment, the transition condition from the effect mode MB to the effect mode MA is further set to a transition condition other than winning the winning lottery, such as when a predetermined number of symbol variation games have been completed or when the transition lottery is won. May be set.

  -In embodiment, when winning big hit E during production mode MB, you may make it transfer to production mode MC. In the embodiment, when the big hit E is won during the production mode MD, the production mode MC may be shifted to.

  In the embodiment, the transition to the route MB1 of the effect mode MB may be set only when winning in the winning lottery. In other words, if the outreach reach effect is not executed and the long reach is developed, the hit may be confirmed.

  In the embodiment, the production modes MA and MD may be set to the uncertain change confirmation mode. In this case, the mode transition is not performed in the case of winning the probable big hit in other production modes.

In the embodiment, a dedicated “high-accuracy latency mode” may be newly provided that shifts when the big hits F, H, and I are won during the production mode MA.
-In embodiment, you may change the provision conditions of a probable change state, and the provision conditions of a short state. For example, the number of times (for example, 100 times) may be set as the end condition of the probability variation state. In addition, as a condition for giving a change state, for example, when a big hit E is won at the time of “high accuracy + change”, the game state may be changed to “high accuracy + change” after a winning game.

  In the embodiment, the final jackpot symbol combination derived in the symbol variation game may be derived in the revariation effect. The re-variation effect is an effect of deriving a final jackpot symbol combination by once deriving a temporary jackpot symbol combination after starting the symbol variation game, and then changing the symbols constituting the symbol combination again. (Lottery production). When the re-variation effect is adopted, the overall control CPU 36a determines a symbol constituting the temporary jackpot symbol combination and a symbol constituting the final jackpot symbol combination.

  In the embodiment, the process executed by the overall control CPU 36a may be executed by the display control CPU 37a. In this case, the sub integrated control board 36 may be omitted, or the configuration of the present embodiment may be used.

In the embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 10 using the special symbol and the decorative symbol is embodied. However, the pachinko gaming machine using only the special symbol may be embodied.
In the embodiment, it is embodied in the pachinko gaming machine 10 that uses one special symbol, but the pachinko gaming machine that draws the winning mode using two special symbols consisting of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. You may make it concrete.

  In the embodiment, when winning is won in the production modes MC and MD, a branch that shifts to the winning games BA and BB after the end of the symbol variation game may be adopted. That is, during the presentation mode MB, it is possible to set only when the winning mode is notified during the symbol variation game, or when the winning mode is notified during the symbol variation game and when the notification is made by the winning game BB. .

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) In a gaming machine that performs a notification effect for notifying the winning mode during a winning game after the end of the symbol variation game when winning a winning lottery for winning or not, The winning lottery system includes a first notification effect for notifying a winning game mode that affects the number of winning balls that can be obtained during a winning game, and a second notification effect for notifying a gaming state after the winning game ends. Either one of the first notification effect and the second notification effect based on the hit type determined by the hit type determination unit and the hit type determined by the hit type determination unit. A game machine comprising: a notification effect determining means for determining a notification effect of the player; and a notification effect executing means for executing the notification effect determined by the notification effect determining means during the winning game.

  (B) The mode of the winning game depends on whether or not a ball entry means that allows a game ball to enter during the winning game is advantageously released to the player during the round game constituting the winning game. On the other hand, the gaming state after the winning game is distinguished depending on whether the winning probability in the winning lottery is a lottery state of a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state. The effect determining means, when the winning seed determining means determines the winning in which the gaming state after the winning game is ended is the high-probability lottery state, the first notification effect and the second notification effect. Technical notification of determining one of the notification effects, and determining the second notification effect when the winning seed determining means determines a winning in which the gaming state after the winning game is the low probability lottery state Recorded in Thought (I) Of the game machine.

  (C) providing an effect content determination means for determining the effect content of the symbol variation game, wherein the effect content determination means determines the effect content according to the hit type determined by the hit type determination means, and When the seed determining means determines a winning in which the gaming state after the winning game ends is set to the high probability lottery state, the first effect content defining the first effect time and the first effect time Also, any one of the second effect contents that set the second effect time having a long effect time is determined, and the winning seed determining means determines that the gaming state after the winning game is ended is the low probability lottery state. The second effect content is determined, and the notification effect determining means determines the first notification effect when the effect content determining means determines the first effect content. When the second production content is determined The gaming machine according to the technical idea (b) determining said second notification effect.

  (D) A first rendering mode in which the lottery probability state to be won in the winning lottery of winning or not is highly likely to be a low probability lottery state, and the lottery probability state is a high probability lottery state. A game machine that performs mode transition between the first effect mode and the second effect mode when a predetermined mode transition condition is satisfied. In addition, in the event of entering a game ball, the starting condition of the symbol variation game is given, and the entrance of the game ball is changed from a closed state where the game ball is difficult to enter to an open state where the game ball is easy to enter. A starting means having an opening / closing means, and an operating state of the opening / closing means is any one of an opening time increasing state in which an opening time per unit time increases and an opening time non-increasing state in which the opening time per unit time does not increase Operation status controlled by state Control means and effect content determining means for determining the effect content of the symbol variation game, and the effect content determining means is determined when the winning lottery is won during the second effect mode. The effect content includes a first type effect content that allows the player to recognize that the winning game is derived after the winning game is derived, and that the game shifts to the open time increasing state after the winning game is completed. When the winning symbol is derived, after the winning game is finished, it is possible to recognize that the game shifts to one of the first performance modes controlled in the opening time increasing state and the opening time non-increasing state. A gaming machine characterized by including seed production contents.

  (E) The second type effect content can further recognize that the second effect mode is continued after the end of the symbol variation game without changing the game state with respect to the game state in the game. A gaming machine described in the technical idea (d).
