Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachinko machine”) or a revolving type gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachislot machine”), in particular, using a display means, The present invention relates to a gaming machine that displays effects related to a lottery such as a variation of a decorative symbol sequence.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine has been known in which a display means is provided on a game board and a decorative symbol sequence including decorative symbols such as numbers and symbols is displayed. In this type of gaming machine, a plurality of decorative symbol sequences fluctuate on the display means based on the winning of the game medium at the start opening, and the variation is stopped at a predetermined stop symbol based on the lottery result. It has become. That is, the presence / absence of an advantageous gaming state (for example, a big hit) is displayed by a combination of decorative symbols that stop on the active line. In addition, in the decorative symbol sequence, a plurality of normal symbols and a plurality of probability variation symbols (probability variation symbols) are provided as decorative symbols. On the other hand, if a jackpot combination is established by the probability variation symbol, then a probability variation jackpot is generated.
In the probability variation big hit, after the big hit state is finished, the probability of the next big hit will be set higher than usual, and the probability of winning the start opening will be increased more than usual. A game state is generated.

In recent years, gaming machines equipped with a time-saving function are also known. In this type of gaming machine, after the end of the big hit state, until the decorative symbol sequence fluctuates a predetermined number of times, the variation time of the decorative symbol sequence is shortened and the ease of winning at the start opening is increased more than usual. For example, a short-time gaming state is generated.

Note that these gaming machines are provided with a movable piece that increases the ease of winning a prize at the starting port, and a passage gate through which game media can pass, and the game media passes through the passage gate. When the lottery (normal lottery) is performed and the lottery result is a win, the movable piece is opened for a short time. And in the probability variation gaming state and the short-time gaming state, by increasing the probability that the lottery result is a win, that is, the probability that the movable piece will be released, or by increasing the opening time of the movable piece, The ease of winning a prize is increased compared to the normal time.

However, in the case of a conventional gaming machine, even if an advantageous gaming state occurs, if the probability fluctuation is not a big hit, it will have no value, so the player's expectation can be sustained. In many cases, the game ended at that time.

Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention has an object to provide a gaming machine that can suppress a decrease in gaming motivation caused by not being in a probability fluctuation state as much as possible.

  The gaming machine according to claim 1, comprising a start port arranged in a game area and capable of receiving a game medium, and lottery means for performing a lottery based on reception of the game medium at the start port, When a jackpot is obtained by lottery means, a gaming machine capable of giving a profit to a player is in a low probability state in which the probability of winning a jackpot by lottery means is set relatively low Probability changing means that can execute control to a high probability state in which the probability of obtaining a big hit is set higher than this low probability state, and accepting game media to the start port is relatively difficult When it is in the state, the acceptance condition changing means that makes it possible to execute control to an advantageous state in which it is relatively easier to accept the game medium to the starting port than in the normal state, and to give a profit to the player for As a work, the first prize is the winning prize obtained by the lottery by the lottery means in the low probability state and the normal state, the ball winning means that facilitates the reception of the game medium by the operation of the predetermined movable body In the case of the big hit, after executing the first control in which a large amount of prize balls can be obtained by facilitating the reception of the game medium by the ball winning means by the operation of the movable body, the probability changing means A first profit providing means for providing both control to the high probability state and control to the advantageous state by the acceptance condition changing means; and the lottery means in the low probability state and the normal state. When the big hit obtained by the lottery is the second big hit, the prize winning ball is less than the case of the first profit granting unit, although the movable body is operated by the ball winning unit. After executing the second control for operating the movable body so as not to be acquired, the control to the high probability state by the probability changing means and the control to the advantageous state by the acceptance condition changing means The second profit granting means that provides only control to the high probability state, and the lottery by the lottery means when the low probability state and the normal state are lost, the specific small hit condition is If it is satisfied, it is determined that only a small number of prize balls can be obtained as compared with the case of the first profit granting means, even though the movable body is operated by the ball winning means, assuming that a small win is won. After executing the third control for actuating the movable body, both the control to the high probability state by the probability changing means and the control to the advantageous state by the acceptance condition changing means are performed. 3rd profit provision means which controls so that it may not be displayed, and display presentation control means which controls about presentation mode in a predetermined display, The display presentation control means is the low probability state and the normal state If the result of the lottery by the lottery means is a first big hit, the first control by the first profit granting means is executed, and then the control to the high probability state by the probability changing means and the In the gaming state in which both the control to the advantageous state by the acceptance condition changing means is made, the first effect mode control means that can be controlled so that a special effect mode appears, the low probability state and the normal state If the result of the lottery by the lottery means is a second jackpot, the second control by the second profit granting means is executed, and then the probability changing means Second rendering mode control means that can be controlled so that an expected performance mode appears in the gaming state controlled to the high probability state, and the lottery means in the low probability state and the normal state When the result of the lottery is a small hit, after the third control by the third profit granting unit is executed, the gaming state is not controlled to the high probability state by the probability changing unit. The third effect mode control means that can be controlled so that the expected effect mode appears, and the second profit granting means is when the expected effect mode appears by the third effect mode control means. When the second jackpot is obtained as a result of the lottery performed by the lottery means, after the second control is executed, the control to the high probability state by the probability changing means, Among the control to the advantageous state by the acceptance condition changing means, only the control to the high probability state is provided, while the expected effect mode appears by the second effect mode control means. When the second jackpot is obtained as a result of the lottery by the lottery means, after the second control is executed, the control to the high probability state by the probability changing means and the acceptance condition change And both control to said advantageous state by means, respectively.

Here, examples of the “effect display means” include a liquid crystal display device, an EL display device, a plasma display device, or a CRT. In addition, as the “opening / closing winning device”, there can be mentioned a big winning opening that is opened at the time of a big hit and from which a game medium can be won.

According to the configuration of the means 1, at least a start opening is provided in the game area, and when it is detected that a game medium is won in the start opening, a lottery is performed by the lottery means.
Moreover, the display mode regarding the lottery is specified based on the lottery result of the lottery unit, and the display mode is derived to the effect display unit. A specific display mode will be described later.

By the way, in the lottery means of the present invention, it is possible to generate at least four kinds of advantageous gaming states as “winning”.
The first advantageous gaming state is a so-called “probability variation jackpot”, and occurs when the lottery result of the lottery means is the first result. When this hits, a specific profit is first given to the player. Specifically, the opening / closing operation of the open / close winning device is repeated a plurality of times, and the opening time per time in the open state is set to a time that allows a plurality of game media to win with a margin, so that the player A specific benefit. In addition, for the subsequent lottery, at least the probability that a specific profit is given is set higher than normal (so-called “probability fluctuation state”). Thereby, the player can obtain a lot of profits, and the expectation for the next big hit is greatly enhanced. In other words, a jackpot ream can be made, and the real thrill of the jackpot can be given to the player. In the probability variation state, in addition to increasing the probability that a specific profit is given, the probability that a predetermined profit is given may be increased.

The second advantageous gaming state is a so-called “normal big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the lottery means is the second result. At this time, a specific profit is given to the player as in the “first advantageous gaming state”. However, for the subsequent lottery, the probability variation state is not entered, and the normal probability (low probability) is obtained.

The third advantageous gaming state occurs when the lottery result of the lottery means is the third result. In this win, first, a predetermined profit (a profit less advantageous than the “specific profit”) is given to the player. Specifically, the opening / closing operation of the open / close prize-winning device is performed a smaller number of times than in the case of “specific profit”, and the opening time per time is set to a time that allows several game media to barely win Thus, the profit given to the player is limited. Further, for the subsequent lottery, the probability that a specific profit is given is set higher than the normal time (so-called “probability fluctuation state”).

The fourth advantageous gaming state occurs when the lottery result of the lottery means is the fourth result. In this win, as in the “third advantageous gaming state”, a predetermined profit is given to the player. However, a new probability fluctuation state is not generated for the subsequent lottery. That is, since the gaming state does not change before and after winning, the player's mood cannot be raised. Therefore, in the following, such “low hit” with low advantage (in other words, “win with no advantageous gaming state”) will be referred to as “small hit” for convenience and referred to as “big hit” with high advantage. I will make a distinction.

By the way, in the “third advantageous gaming state”, since a probability fluctuation state occurs after a predetermined profit is given, if the gaming state is suggested to the player, the expectation for the lottery is greatly increased. It becomes possible to raise the player's mood. However, in this way, if the player is informed that the probability variation state has occurred, the “third advantageous game state” and the “fourth advantageous game state” are clearly distinguished and recognized. In other words, a state in which the “fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit)” in which a probability change state does not newly occur and the highly advantageous “third advantageous gaming state (big hit)” can be visually discriminated. It becomes. For this reason, it is recognized that when the “fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit)” is reached, a predetermined profit with a low advantage is given, but immediately after that, it becomes a value that has no value. Therefore, the expectation for the lottery is lowered, and there is a concern that it may cause irritation. In particular, if the probability of becoming the “fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit)” is extremely higher than the probability of becoming the “third advantageous gaming state (big hit)”, the “fourth advantageous gaming state” is frequently There is a risk that the willingness to play may be impaired due to the dissatisfaction raised each time, that is, the dissatisfaction with not being a big hit.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the display mode on the effect display means in the case of the third advantageous gaming state and the display mode in the case of the fourth advantageous gaming state cannot be visually distinguished. When the probability variation state is generated by the third advantageous gaming state, it is possible to gradually increase the expectation to the player. Specifically, as a display mode that can appear when the lottery result is the third result, that is, in the third advantageous gaming state (big hit),
Normal state effect indicating normal gaming state, high probability expectation small effect indicating that a probability variation state may have occurred by the third advantageous game state control means, and third advantageous game state control A high probability expectation effect indicating that the probability variation state is likely to be generated by the means, and a high probability state effect indicating that the probability variation state is generated by the third advantageous gaming state control means. doing. On the other hand, when the lottery result is the fourth result, that is, as a display mode that can appear when the fourth advantageous game state (small hit), the normal state effect, the high probability expectation small effect, and the high probability expectation large It has directing. That is, in the fourth advantageous gaming state, although the high probability state effect (the effect indicating that the probability variation state has occurred) cannot appear, the other effects appear in the same manner as the third advantageous game state. It is possible.

In addition, the high probability state effect that appears only in the third advantageous gaming state is an effect that appears after the stage of the high probability expectation small effect and the high probability expectation large effect, and the high probability expectation small effect is high. The transition to the probabilistic expectation production requires the establishment of the first condition, and the transition from the high probability expectation production to the high probability state production requires the establishment of the second condition. Even if the probability variation state occurs, the “high probability state effect” does not appear immediately. In other words, the third advantageous gaming state and the fourth advantageous gaming state cannot be distinguished for a while from when the predetermined profit is given until the “high probability state effect” appears. . For this reason, even if the fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit) occurs, “may be the third advantageous gaming state (big hit)”, that is, “probability fluctuation state may have entered. It is possible to increase the player's expectation. Therefore, the willingness to play is increased, and the end of the game due to dissatisfaction can be suppressed as much as possible.

In both advantageous gaming states, as a normal development pattern, the transition from the normal state production to the high probability expectation small production and the high probability expectation small production to the high probability expectation large production, Expectations can be raised step by step. For this reason, the willingness to game is improved, and it is possible to prevent the game from being ended as much as possible.

In particular, in the present invention, the determination whether or not to shift from the high probability expectation small effect to the high probability expectation large effect, that is, whether or not the first condition is satisfied is given to the privilege given as the game progresses. Based on. In other words, in the high probability expectation small production, some privilege (for example, points)
When the granted privilege satisfies the first condition, it is possible to shift from the high probability expectation small effect to the high probability expectation large effect. For this reason, the player comes to pay attention to whether or not a privilege is granted while visually recognizing the high-probability expected small effect, and thus can enhance the interest of the high-probability expected small effect. Moreover, this privilege may be given not only in the high-probability expected small effect but also in the normal state effect. Therefore,
The pleasure of acquiring a privilege in the normal state effect increases, and the motivation to shift to the high probability expectation small effect can be further enhanced by associating the normal state effect with the high probability expectation small effect. In other words, when a privilege that satisfies the first condition is given in the normal state production, “it was promised to develop from a high probability expectation small production to a high probability expectation large production” or “ It can be recognized as “substantially certain”, and the willingness to shift to a high-probability expectation small production can be enhanced. In other words, from the normal gaming state before the appearance of high-probability expected small effects, it becomes possible to be involved in games played with high-probability expected small effects, and it is possible to further increase interest in these series of effects. become.

In the case of the third advantageous gaming state, a high-probability state effect indicating “being in a probability-variation state” will finally appear. It is possible to drastically increase the expectation of the user, that is, the expectation that a specific profit will be given.

According to the configuration of the means 3, when a game ball is launched from the launching device in response to the operation of the operation handle, the game ball is a game in which a number of obstacle members, a starting port, a special symbol display, and the like are incorporated. Guided to the area. Then, when it is detected that a game ball has won at the start opening, a lottery by a lottery means is performed based on that. When the lottery result of the lottery means is a predetermined result, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player occurs.

The advantageous gaming state is the same as that of the means 1, and “first advantageous gaming state” to “fourth advantageous gaming state” are preset. That is, in the “first advantageous game state”, the opening / closing operation of the open / close winning device is repeated a plurality of times, and the opening time per time in the open state is a time that allows a plurality of game media to win with a margin. By doing so, a specific benefit is given to the player. The probability variation state is set for subsequent lotteries.

Like the “first advantageous game state”, the “second advantageous game state” gives a specific benefit to the player but does not change the probability variation state.

In the “third advantageous game state”, the opening / closing operation of the open / close prize-winning device is performed a smaller number of times than in the case of “specific profit”, and the opening time per game is such that several game media can barely win. By giving time, a predetermined profit is given to the player. Further, for the subsequent lottery, the probability variation state is set.

Like the “third advantageous game state”, the “fourth advantageous game state” gives a predetermined profit to the player, but does not newly generate a probability fluctuation state for the subsequent lottery.

As described above, in the “third advantageous gaming state” and the “fourth advantageous gaming state”, both are given a predetermined profit. However, in the “third advantageous gaming state”, the probability change state thereafter, and the probability that at least a specific profit is given in the subsequent lottery (that is, the “first advantageous gaming state”)
Alternatively, the probability of occurrence of the “second advantageous gaming state” increases, but the probability variation state does not occur in the “fourth advantageous gaming state”. Accordingly, the willingness to play is greatly different between the “third advantageous gaming state” and the “fourth advantageous gaming state”. However, in the present invention,
Since the same effect is performed by the effect display means, the third advantageous game state and the fourth advantageous game state are distinguished for a while from when the predetermined profit is given until the high probability effect state appears. Even when the fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit) occurs, it can be estimated that “there may be a probability variation state” even if the game cannot be recognized separately.

In both advantageous gaming states, as a normal development pattern, the transition from the normal state production to the high probability expectation small production and the high probability expectation small production to the high probability expectation large production, Expectations can be raised step by step. For this reason, the willingness to game is improved, and it is possible to prevent the game from being ended as much as possible.

In particular, the determination of whether or not to shift from the high probability expectation small effect to the high probability expectation large effect is performed based on the privilege given in the normal state effect and the high probability expectation small effect. In the normal gaming state, the player wants to acquire a privilege and quickly shift to a high-probability expected small production. In other words, it is possible to further increase interest in a series of effects and to surely increase game motivation even when a small hit occurs.

Means 4: In any one configuration of Means 1 to 3, "The privilege that can be given in the normal state effect or the high probability expectation small effect is a privilege other than a valuable value, and at least the high probability expectation small It is associated with the contents of the production in the production ”.

Here, “privileges other than valuable value” do not directly give a profit to the player, but are given to enhance the expectation, and the pattern related to the high-probability expectation small effect The item etc. can be illustrated.

According to the configuration of the means 4, when a normal state effect or a high probability small effect is performed, a privilege other than a valuable value is given as the game progresses, and whether or not the first condition is established based on this privilege Is determined. Moreover, since the contents of the high-probability small effect and the privilege to be granted are associated with each other, the interest of the high-probability small effect is further enhanced. In addition, since the privilege granted is only an item for developing the production, it does not directly give a profit to the player, so it may be difficult to grant the privilege in the normal state production. Also,
It does not reduce the player's motivation.

Means 5: In the configuration of means 4, “the display control means is capable of generating predetermined effect points for the normal state effect and the high-probability expected small effect, and the generated effect points. And a point accumulating means for accumulating,
It is determined that the first condition is satisfied when the accumulated total of the production points reaches a certain value ”.

According to the structure of the means 5, when performing a normal state effect or a high-probability small effect, a predetermined effect point (score) is displayed and the effect point is accumulated. That is, a production point is given as a privilege. When the total of the production points reaches a certain value, it is possible to shift from the high probability expectation small production to the high probability expectation large production. Therefore, it is interested in collecting performance points, and the willingness to advance the game further increases. In addition, since the higher the total of the production points, the more advantageous it becomes, so that even if the normal content production or the high-probability expected small production of the same content continues to appear, it is reduced that the content of the production is bored.

Means 6: In the configuration of means 5, “the normal state effect has a special effect that requires an operation of a push button, and the push button is operated when the special effect is derived, It further comprises point generation permission means for permitting the generation of production points ”.

According to the configuration of the means 6, at least in the normal state effect, a special effect that requires operation of the push button is performed, and it is possible to generate effect points only when the push button is operated during the effect. . In other words, in the normal state effect, if the special effect is not performed, or if the push button is not operated even if the special effect is performed, the effect point is not generated. Therefore, the frequency at which the production points are generated can be suppressed, and the total production points can be prevented from reaching a certain value immediately. Further, since the special effect is performed as a part of the normal state effect, the game can be sharpened by the special effect. Furthermore, because it requires the operation of a push button, it is not a passive production that is merely seen, but actively participates in the production,
It becomes possible to collect production points as if it were a game.

Means 7: In the constitution of means 5 or means 6, “the point generating means is
A point distribution table showing the relationship between the total of the production points and the distribution (appearance rate) of the production point values to be given,
Prior to derivation of the normal state effect, point determination random number extraction means for extracting a given point determination random number,
When the given point determination random number is extracted by the point determination random number extraction means,
And a point determining means for determining the effect point value based on the random number for determining the assigned points, the total of the effect points stored, and the point distribution table ”.

According to the configuration of the means 7, when the point determination random number extraction means extracts the granted point determination random number, the total of the production points already stored at the time of the lottery, the extracted granted point determination random number, A production point value corresponding to the total of production points is determined from the point distribution table. For this reason, it becomes possible to generate an unspecified effect point based on a random number, and attention to the effect point is further increased, and it is possible to add a sharpness when providing the effect point. In addition, since the tendency of the effect point value to be granted changes depending on the total of effect points that have already been stored, for example, the effect point value to be granted may be limited so that the total of effect points does not exceed a predetermined value. , It becomes possible to cause a bias in the way the production points are accumulated.

Means 8: The constitution of means 7 is characterized in that “the point distribution table is distributed such that the larger the total of the effect points is, the more difficult it is to assign a large effect point value”.

According to the structure of the means 8, since the larger production point value is harder to be given as the total of the produced production points is higher, it is possible to suppress the production point total from reaching a certain value immediately. it can. That is, the pleasure of collecting the production points can be continued for a relatively long time. On the contrary, when the total of the production points is low, it is possible to give a relatively large production point value. For example, if a large performance point value is given at the beginning of the game, it becomes possible to attract the player's consciousness.

Means 9: In the configuration of means 8, “the normal state effect is the first normal state effect that can appear even if the lottery result of the lottery means does not become the third result or the fourth result, and the lottery result. Consists of a second normal state effect that can appear after the third result or the fourth result,
The point distribution table corresponding to the first normal state effect includes a case where the effect point value is “0”, and the point determination means corresponding to the first normal state effect is stored. It is characterized in that the effect point value to be given is determined so that even if the added effect point value is added to the total of the effect points, the predetermined value is not reached.

According to the configuration of the means 9, the normal state effect includes the first normal state effect that can appear even if the lottery result does not become the third result or the fourth result, and after the third result or the fourth result. A second normal state effect that can appear is included. That is, when the lottery result becomes the third result or the fourth result, the first normal state effect is shifted to the second normal state effect, and then the high probability expectation small effect (or the high probability expectation large effect) is changed. It has become. By the way, in this case, since the transition from the first normal state effect to the second normal state effect is based on the condition that the lottery result becomes the third result or the fourth result, there are many effect points in the first normal state effect. In spite of having been stored, a situation may occur in which the transition is not made to the second normal state effect as well as the high probability expectation small effect. In this case, there is a concern that distrust is caused by the fact that the production does not develop even though many production points are stored, and the reliability of the production points is impaired.

However, according to the configuration of the means 9, in the first normal state effect, even if the effect point value to be given is added to the total of the stored effect points, the effect points to be given are not reached. Determine the value. In other words, when the value is close to a certain value, the given production points are limited to extremely small production point values, or the production point value is set to “0”.
Process so as not to reach a certain value. Therefore, in the second normal state effect derived after the third result or the fourth result, it becomes possible to reach a certain value for the first time, and when it reaches a certain value, it immediately develops to the next effect. It becomes possible to make it. For this reason, the relationship between the total of the produced production points and the production transition conditions is clarified, and the reliability of the production points can be improved.

Means 10: In the configuration of means 9, further comprising: a point display control means for displaying the effect point value to be given on the effect display means,
The point display control means displays an item image instead of the effect point value when the effect point value given by the point determination means is “0”.

By the way, when the effect point value to be given is “0”, “0 points” may be displayed or nothing may be displayed. However, when “0 points” is displayed,
There is a possibility of giving an unpleasant feeling, and in particular, there is a concern that it causes annoyance when it is continuously displayed many times. Further, when nothing is displayed, a malfunction of the effect display device or a bug in the program may be aroused to cause mistrust to the gaming machine.

On the other hand, according to the structure of the means 10, when the effect point value to be given is “0”, the item image is displayed instead of the effect point value. For this reason, even if it is production | presentation point value "0" and a total does not change, while being able to suppress the fall of a player's mood, a visual interest can be given with an item image.

Means 11: In the constitution of means 10, “an item image selection table indicating the relationship between the plurality of types of item images and the expected value for the lottery result of the lottery means;
Prior to the derivation of the first normal state effect, item image selection random number extraction means for extracting an item image selection random number for selecting the item image,
When the item selection random number is extracted, the item image displayed instead of the effect point value based on the item image selection random number, the lottery result of the lottery means, and the item image selection table And an item image determining means for determining “.”.

According to the configuration of the means 11, when the item image selection random number is extracted prior to the derivation of the first normal state effect, the item image selection random number, the lottery result of the lottery means, the item image selection table, The item image to be displayed is determined based on the above. Therefore, it is possible to display one item image from among a plurality of types of item images. In particular,
In the item image selection table, since a plurality of types of item images are associated with the expected value for the lottery result of the lottery means, it is possible to display an item image corresponding to the expected value. For this reason, the player can recognize the expected value of the lottery from the displayed item image. In other words, the item image is a means for indicating that the production point value is “0 points” in the first place, but is used to grasp the expected value in the current lottery, so the hatred for the “item image” is wiped out. be able to.

Means 12: In any one configuration of means 9 to means 11, "The point distribution table corresponding to the second normal state effect is the sum of the effect points stored,
It consists of a first area composed of a group of production points that do not reach the certain value even if the production points to be given are added, and a second area other than that.
When the effect point value is determined based on the extracted random number for determination of the granted points, the total of the effect points already stored at the time of the lottery, and the point distribution table, the effect point value is If it is included in one region, the second normal state effect is shifted to the high probability expectation small effect, while if the determined effect point value is included in the second region, the high probability expectation small It further comprises an effect transition control means for shifting from the second normal state effect to the high probability expectation effect without causing an effect to appear ”.

By the way, in the second normal state effect, when the effect points are given, the total of the effect points may reach a certain value, and in this case, there is a match between the second normal state effect and the high probability expected small effect. I can't take it. In other words, in the high-probability expectation small production, the production of “accumulating the given production points and moving to the high-probability expectation production when the total of the production points reaches a certain value” is performed. If the total of the production points reaches a certain value before the production appears, the existence of the high-probability expected small production itself is meaningless.

However, according to the configuration of the means 12, the point distribution table is divided into the first area and the second area, and even if the added effect points are added to the total of the stored effect points, the predetermined value is not reached. An effect point group is defined as a first area, and an area other than that, that is, an effect point group reaching a certain value is defined as a second area. Then, when the determined effect point value is included in the second region, the second normal state effect is shifted to the high probability expected large effect without causing the high probability expected small effect to appear. In other words, if a certain value is not reached even after adding the given production points, after the production points are given, the transition is made to a high-probability expected small production. Shift to production. In the case of direct transition to the high-probability expectation production, since the production points are no longer necessary, even if the production points assigned in the second normal state production are added (without being displayed). I do not care. In this way, in the second normal state production, when providing the production points, in order to grasp in advance whether or not the total of the production points reaches a certain value, in order to shift directly to the high probability expected large production, It is possible to prevent contradictions between productions due to the existence of high-probability small productions.

Means 13: In the configuration of means 12, the distribution of the point distribution table is such that the higher the total of the effect points stored, the higher the possibility that the effect point value of the second area will be selected. Is made ".

According to the configuration of the means 13, when the effect point value is determined in the second normal state effect, the total of the effect points given in the first normal state effect is considered, and the higher the total of the effect points, the more There is a high possibility that the effect point values in the two areas are selected. In other words, the higher the production points that are stored, the easier it is to shift to the high-probability expected production. For this reason, for example, in comparison with “what restricts the effect point value to be given so that the total of effect points does not reach a certain value in the second normal state effect”, the effect points stored in the first normal state effect are utilized. Can be processed.

Means 14: In the configuration of means 12 or means 13, "the effect transition control means is for determining the grant point when the total of the effect points already stored at the time of the lottery has reached the predetermined value. It is characterized by always shifting to a high-probability expected production regardless of random numbers.

According to the structure of the means 14, when the sum total of the production | presentation point provided in the 1st normal state production has reached the fixed value, a high probability expectation is performed from a 2nd normal state production, without performing a high probability small production. Shift to a large production. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the contradiction between the effects and to realize the superiority of the effects due to reaching a certain value at a relatively early stage.

Means 15: In any one of the constitutions of the means 12 to 14, “the lottery result of the lottery means is the fourth result, and it is determined that the effect transition control means shifts to the high probability expected small effect. If it is, the first route to return to the first normal state effect without developing more than the high probability expected small effect, or the second route to develop to the high probability expected large effect and then return to the first normal state effect Route selection means for selecting one of the routes based on the total of the production points;
If the total of the accumulated production points does not reach the certain value even after performing the high-probability expected small production a predetermined number of times, it is determined whether the lottery result is the third result or the fourth result When the lottery result is the third result, or when the lottery result is the fourth result and the second route is selected by the route selection means, the transition to the high-probability expected large effect is made. , Further comprising second effect transition control means for transitioning to the first normal state effect when the lottery result is the fourth result and the first route is selected by the route selecting means. To do.

By the way, in order to prevent the third result and the fourth result from being recognized separately depending on the size of the effect point value to be given, it is preferable that the distribution ratio of both is common in the point distribution table. If the stage point value given is too large, it will soon reach a certain value,
In the case of the third result and the case of the fourth result, it is easily shifted to a high-probability expectation production. In other words, it is difficult to position the high-probability expectation production as an “production with a high probability that a probability variation state has occurred (production with a high possibility of being the third result)”. On the other hand, if the effect point value to be given is too small, even if it is the third result, the total of the effect points does not readily reach a constant value, and smooth development cannot be expected. In addition, when the lottery result is the third result, the series of effects cannot be ended with the high probability expectation small effect. Because, if a series of performances ends in the middle, the player may recognize that the fourth result (small hit) is in spite of being in a probability variation state, and may stop the game halfway. Because there is.

Therefore, if the number of high-probability small effects is set, and the total of the performance points does not reach a certain value even if the predetermined number of effects are performed, the lottery result is the third result or the fourth result It can be considered that only when the result is the third result, the transition is made to the high-probability expected large production which is the next production. However, according to this, after the maximum number of high-probability expected small effects has been performed, the process of shifting to the high-probability expected large effects, that is, the high-probability expected large effects even though the total of the production points has not reached a certain value. The process to shift becomes a process specific to the third result (probability variation state), and as a result, before the transition to the high probability state effect, it is made to recognize that the probability variation state has occurred. There is a risk that the production effect in the probability state production is reduced.

On the other hand, according to the configuration of the means 15, when it is determined that the lottery result is the fourth result (small hit) and the transition from the second normal state effect to the high probability expected small effect is made, Whether the route is the first route or the second route is determined by lottery. The first route is a route that returns from the high probability expectation small effect to the first normal state effect, and the second route transitions from the high probability expectation small effect to the high probability expectation large effect, and then returns to the first normal state effect. Is the root.
Then, if the total of the accumulated production points does not reach a certain value even after performing the predetermined number of high-probability expected small productions, the production to be subsequently shifted is determined based on the lottery result and the selected route. . That is, when the lottery result is the third result and when the lottery result is the fourth result and the second route is selected, the transition is made to the high-probability expectation production, while the lottery result is the first result as the fourth result. When the route is selected, the series of effects is finished in the high-probability expected small effect. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the production in the case of the third result from ending in the middle of a series of productions, and it is not only the case of the third result that shifts to the high probability expected production. Since there may be four results, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the probability variation state from being recognized until a high probability state effect is derived.

Means 16: In the configuration of means 15, “the route selection means includes a route distribution table showing a relationship between the total of the production points and the distribution ratio of the first route and the second route,
In the route distribution table, the distribution ratio is set such that the greater the total of the production points, the higher the probability that the second route will be selected.

According to the structure of the means 16, the possibility that the second route is selected increases as the total of the stored production points increases. In other words, the production points accumulated so far are taken into account,
The higher the production point, the easier it is to move to the high-expected production. In other words, even if there are few production points given in the high-probability expected small production, if the total of production points accumulated before that is high, the probability of shifting to the high-probability large production is high. Get higher.
Therefore, it is possible to give higher interest to the effect points given in the normal state effect.

Means 17: In the configuration of any one of means 5 to 16, “in the high probability expected small effect, the normal state is determined from the high probability expected small effect before the total value of the effect points reaches the certain value. In the case of returning to the production, it is further characterized by further comprising point erasure means for erasing or reducing the production points accumulated by the point accumulation means.

According to the configuration of the means 17, when the high-probability expected large effect does not appear, the first normal is changed from the high-probability expected small effect before the first condition is satisfied, that is, before the total of the effect points reaches a certain value. Returning to the state effect, in this case, all or part of the stored effect points are deleted. Therefore, the first normal state effect is started again from the zero state or the extremely small state, and even if, for example, fourth hits occur continuously, it is possible to prevent the total of the accumulated effect points from becoming extremely large. .

Means,

A second advantageous gaming state control means for imparting an advantageous gaming state in which the short-time gaming state is maintained until at least the number of changes in the first special symbol or the second special symbol reaches a predetermined number;
When the lottery result of the first lottery means or the second lottery means is the third result, the predetermined profit is given to the player by the predetermined profit granting means, and the gaming state at the time of the lottery is at least A third advantageous gaming state control means for providing an advantageous gaming state that generates the probability varying state but not the short-time gaming state when not in the probability varying state and the short-time gaming state;
When the lottery result of the first lottery means or the second lottery means is the fourth result, the predetermined profit granting means grants the predetermined profit to the player, but the advantageous gaming state does not occur. Four advantageous gaming state control means,

A normal state effect that indicates that the game state is normal and that a privilege can be given as the game progresses,

A high-probability state effect that is an effect that can appear when a predetermined second condition is satisfied in the high-probability expected large effect, and that indicates that a probability variation state has occurred by the third advantageous game state control means, And a third specific performance execution means capable of executing "."

Here, as the “specific game state”, a so-called probability variation game state or a short-time game state can be exemplified, but even in other game states, if the game state is advantageous for the player, It can be applied as a specific gaming state.

According to the configuration of the means 18, at least the first start port and the second start port are provided in the game area, and when it is detected that the game medium has won the first start port, A lottery is performed by the first lottery means. In addition, when it is detected that a game medium has been won at the second starting port, a lottery is performed by the second lottery means based on the detection. On the other hand, there is provided a special symbol display that displays the special symbol corresponding to the lottery result. The first special symbol variation control means varies the first special symbol in the first special symbol display, Stop at the first special symbol determined based on the lottery result of one lottery means. Similarly, the second special symbol variation control means varies the second special symbol on the second special symbol display and stops at the second special symbol determined based on the lottery result of the second lottery means. . In other words, when a game medium wins at one of the start openings, the special symbol corresponding to that start opening fluctuates, and when a game medium wins at both start openings, two special symbols fluctuate. To do.

In the present invention, when the gaming state determination means determines that a specific gaming state has been reached, the frequency at which the second starting port is changed to a state in which a gaming medium can be won is increased. In other words, during normal times, it is extremely difficult to win game media for the second starting port. The mode is often derived to the display means. On the other hand, when a specific gaming state is reached, it is possible to easily win game media for the second starting port. For this reason, the opportunity that the lottery by the 1st lottery means and the lottery by the 2nd lottery means are performed increases, and the advantage in a specific gaming state improves.

In the present invention, it is possible to alternatively generate at least four types of advantageous gaming states as “winning”.
The first advantageous gaming state occurs when the lottery result of the first lottery means or the second lottery means is the first result. When this hits, a specific profit is first given to the player. Further, for each subsequent lottery, a probability that a specific profit is given is set to be higher than usual (a so-called “probability fluctuation state”). In addition, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol that fluctuate on the first special symbol indicator or the second special symbol indicator is shortened and the ease of winning a prize at the second starting port is increased more than usual. (So-called “time-saving gaming state”).

The second advantageous gaming state occurs when the lottery result of the first lottery means or the second lottery means is the second result. At this time, a specific profit is given to the player as in the “first advantageous gaming state”. However, for the subsequent lottery, the probability does not change and the normal probability (low probability) is obtained, so it is difficult to maintain the player's sense of expectation. However, this "
In the “second advantageous game state”, after giving a specific profit, the game state is in a short-time game state until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol reaches a predetermined number.

The third advantageous gaming state occurs when the lottery result of the first lottery means or the second lottery means is the third result. In this win, first, a predetermined profit is given to the player. Further, for the subsequent lottery, the probability that a specific profit is given is set higher than the normal time (so-called “probability fluctuation state”).

The fourth advantageous gaming state occurs when the lottery result of the first lottery means or the second lottery means is the fourth result. In this win, as in the “third advantageous gaming state”, a predetermined profit is given to the player. However, for the subsequent lottery, neither a probability fluctuation state nor a short-time gaming state is newly generated.

In the third advantageous gaming state, the short-time gaming state is not generated, and for the effect display means, the same effects as in the fourth advantageous gaming state (normal state effect, high probability expectation small effect, and Since a high-probability expected production) can appear, it cannot be visually distinguished compared to the “fourth advantageous game state”. In other words, even when the “fourth advantageous gaming state” occurs, it can be assumed that “may be the third advantageous gaming state”,
The expectation of the player can be increased.

In addition, the determination as to whether or not to shift from the high probability expectation small effect to the high probability expectation large effect, that is, whether or not the first condition is satisfied, is performed based on the privilege given as the game progresses. Yes. In other words, in the high-probability expected small production, some kind of privilege (for example, production points) is given, and when the given privilege satisfies the first condition, the high-probability expected small production to the high-probability expectation large Transition to production. Moreover, since this privilege may be given not only in the high-probability expected small effect but also in the normal-state effect, the enjoyment of acquiring the privilege in the normal-state effect increases, and the normal-state effect and the high-probability expected small effect Can be more strongly motivated to shift to a high-probability expected small production.

Means 19: In the configuration of means 18, “the normal state effect can appear even if the lottery result of the first lottery means or the second lottery means does not become the third result or the fourth result. It consists of a normal state effect and a second normal state effect that can appear after the lottery result becomes the third result or the fourth result. In the first normal state effect, when the second special symbol changes Only with a privilege granting means that allows the privilege to be granted only ”.

By the way, the first normal state effect is an effect that can appear even if the lottery result does not become the third result or the fourth result. That is, it is an effect that is performed very frequently in a normal gaming state. For this reason, for example, if an effect point is generated every time in all first normal state effects, the total of effect points may reach a certain value immediately. Moreover, if it is going to collect the production | presentation point displayed every time, it will get tired of the game nature and there exists a possibility that attention to a production | presentation point may reduce. On the other hand, the first normal state effect may be performed together with the variation of the first special symbol due to the winning at the first starting port, or with the variation of the second special symbol due to the winning at the second starting port. If a common effect is adopted as each first normal state effect, even if the first normal state effect appears, two types of lotteries are performed in parallel. You can't appeal to the player.

On the other hand, according to the configuration of the means 19, it is possible to grant a privilege only when the second special symbol is changed, and to prevent the privilege from being given when the first special symbol is changed. For this reason, the frequency with which a privilege is given can be suppressed, and the case where a privilege is given and the case where it is not given can be attached, and it becomes possible to raise interest to granting a privilege by extension. Moreover, it becomes possible to visually distinguish the lottery based on the first special symbol and the lottery based on the second special symbol, and it is possible to easily recognize that two types of lotteries are being performed. In particular, since the second starting port for starting the variation of the second special symbol is easy to win when entering a specific gaming state, it can further enhance the enjoyment of entering a specific gaming state. it can. On the other hand, since the second starting port suppresses the winning of the game medium unless the specific gaming state is achieved, the frequency at which the privilege is granted in the normal gaming state can be effectively suppressed.

Means 20: In the configuration of means 19, “the first normal state effect has a special effect that requires operation of a push button, and when the special effect is derived, the push button is operated. Further, it is further provided with a privilege granting means for enabling the granting of the privilege ”.

According to the structure of the means 20, the special effect which requires the operation of the push button is performed as one of the first normal state effects corresponding to the second special symbol. Only when a special effect is performed and a push button is operated, a privilege can be given. In other words, even when the first normal state effect is performed, it is not a special effect, or when the push button is not operated even when the special effect is performed, no privilege is given. Therefore, it is possible to more efficiently suppress the frequency of granting the privilege and to quickly satisfy the first condition. Further, since the special effect is performed as a part of the first normal state effect, the game can be sharpened by the special effect. Furthermore, since the operation of the push button is requested, it becomes possible to actively participate in the production rather than just the passive production just watching, and to acquire the privilege like a game.

Means 21: In the configuration of means 19 or means 20, “In the first normal state effect, information relating to the privilege already granted is displayed regardless of whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed. It is always displayed ".

According to the structure of the means 21, in the 1st normal state effect, the information regarding the stored privilege is always displayed. In other words, it is possible to grant a privilege only when the second special symbol is changed, but also when the first special symbol is not given a privilege, such information (
For example, the total of production points stored) is displayed. Therefore, while always being aware of the interest in the privilege, it is possible for a player who is about to start a game to use information related to the privilege as an effect point for selecting a game machine. In other words, it is possible to increase the willingness to play, such as “I want to play on a game machine on which many benefits have already been accumulated”.

Means 22: “A special symbol display on which a special symbol is displayed;
A start port that is placed in the game area and where a game medium can be won;

Further, based on the lottery result of the lottery means, any one of “first advantageous gaming state”, “second advantageous gaming state”, “third advantageous gaming state”, and “fourth advantageous gaming state” It makes it possible to make a hit. In the “first advantageous gaming state” or “second advantageous gaming state”, a specific profit is given to the player, and in the “third advantageous gaming state” or the “fourth advantageous gaming state”, there is an advantage over the specific profit. Give a certain low profit. Further, in the “first advantageous gaming state” and the “third advantageous gaming state”, the gaming state is set to a probability variation state, and the probability that a specific profit is given next time is set higher than usual. However, when the “third advantageous game state” is generated when the probability variation state is not the short-time game state, the short-time game state such as the “first advantageous game state” is not generated. That is, the state is visually indistinguishable compared to the case of the “fourth advantageous game state (small hit)”.

In the case of the “first advantageous game state” or the “second advantageous game state”, the decorative symbol relating to the lottery result is displayed, and then “winning” is derived to the effect display means. On the other hand, in the case of the “third advantageous game state” or the “fourth advantageous game state”, it is unclear to the player which player is hit. That is, as the effects that can appear on the effect display means, there are a plurality of effects (normal state effects, high-probability expected small effects, and high-probability expected large effects), and one effect is derived from them. . Therefore, when a specific profit is granted, the indication of “hit” makes it easy to recognize the type of hit, while when a given profit is granted, which win It is possible to suppress the decrease in the willingness to play due to the “fourth advantageous gaming state”.

In particular, the determination of whether or not to shift from the high-probability expected small production to the high-probability expected large production is performed based on the benefits given in the normal state production and the high-probability expected small production. In addition, in the normal gaming state, it is desired to acquire a privilege and quickly shift to a high-probability expected small production. In other words, it is possible to further increase interest in a series of effects and to surely increase game motivation even when a small hit occurs.

In addition, it is possible to easily realize a variety of effects without increasing the burden on the main board by performing the variation control of the decorative pattern and the display of the success / failure in the lottery means on the peripheral board.

And an effect that can appear when the total of the effect points given in the normal state effect or the high-probability expected small effect reaches a predetermined value, and the third advantageous gaming state control means changes the probability variation state. A common effect execution means capable of executing a high-probability expected large effect indicating that there is a high possibility that
As the display mode unique to the third advantageous gaming state that can appear when the lottery result by the first success / failure determination means or the second success / failure determination means is the third hit and not the fourth hit,
A high-probability state effect that is an effect that can appear when a predetermined second condition is satisfied in the high-probability expected large effect, and that indicates that a probability variation state has occurred by the third advantageous game state control means, And a third specific production execution means capable of executing
The display control means is for the normal state effect and the high probability expectation small effect,
A point distribution table showing the relationship between the total of the production points and the distribution (appearance rate) of the production point values to be given;
Prior to derivation of the normal state effect, point determination random number extraction means for extracting a given point determination random number for determining the effect point value,
And when the point determination random number extraction means extracts the grant point determination random number, based on the grant point determination random number, the total of the production points stored at the time of the lottery, and the point distribution table And a point determining means for determining a production point value ”.

According to the configuration of the means 25, the main control means extracts the first winning determination random number and the first winning symbol random number based on the gaming state detected by the first winning state detecting means, Extract random numbers for first variation time based on random numbers. Thereafter, whether or not to win is determined from the first hit determination random number and the first hit determination table. Further, the first variation stop symbol in the first special symbol display is determined from the first hit symbol random number and the first hit symbol table. Furthermore, when it is determined that the winning is, the changing time of the first special symbol is determined from the first changing time random number and the first changing time setting table, and on the other hand, it may be out of place. If determined, the variation time of the first special symbol is determined from the first variation time random number and the first deviation variation time setting table. Then, the first special symbol display starts the variation of the first special symbol, and after the lapse of the variation time determined using the first variation time variable table, the first symbol determined using the first hit symbol table is used. Fluctuate and stop with one variable stop symbol.

Similarly, the main control means extracts the second winning determination random number and the second winning design random number based on the gaming state detected by the second winning state detection means, and based on these random numbers. Extract random numbers for second variation time. Thereafter, whether or not to win is determined from the second hit determination random number and the second hit determination table. Further, the second variation stop symbol in the second special symbol display is determined from the second per symbol random number and the second per symbol table. Furthermore, when it is determined that the winning is, the changing time of the second special symbol is determined from the second changing time random number and the second hitting time changing time setting table, and on the other hand, it may be out of place. If determined, the variation time of the second special symbol is determined from the second variation time random number and the second outlier variation time setting table. Then, the second special symbol display unit starts the variation of the second special symbol, and after the lapse of the variation time determined using the second variation time variable table, the second special symbol display unit is determined using the second hit symbol table. Fluctuate and stop with the double-variable stop symbol.

Further, the main control means is configured to increase the frequency of changing the second start port to a state in which a game medium can be won when the gaming state becomes a specific gaming state. For this reason, in normal times, lottery will be performed based on the winning at the first starting opening, and the first special symbol will be displayed in a variable manner. It becomes easy to win, and the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is often performed in order.

Further, when it is determined that the game is a win, after the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped from being changed, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player is generated. Specifically, based on the first winning determination random number or the second winning determination random number, the “first advantageous gaming state”, “second advantageous gaming state”, “
One of the advantageous game states is specified and executed among the “third advantageous game state” and the “fourth advantageous game state”. Note that the processing in each advantageous gaming state is the same as the configuration of the means 22, and therefore detailed description thereof is omitted here.

By the way, in the main control means, at the start of the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, at least a winning / missing command relating to the presence / absence of winning in both lottery means, and a fluctuation display command corresponding to the fluctuation mode of these special symbols are included. Send a control command. Then, the sub-control means receives these control commands and performs processing according to the control commands. That is, the sub-control means recognizes the lottery results of the first lottery means and the second lottery means by the control command transmitted from the main control means, and based on those lottery results, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are recognized. Stop at a predetermined stop pattern.

In the case of the “first advantageous game state” or the “second advantageous game state”, the decorative symbol relating to the lottery result is displayed, and then “winning” is derived to the effect display means. On the other hand, in the case of the “third advantageous game state” or the “fourth advantageous game state”, it is unclear to the player which player is hit. That is, as the effects that can appear in the effect display means, a plurality of effects (normal state effect, high probability expectation small effect, and high probability expectation large effect) having the same content are provided, and one effect is derived therefrom.

In particular, the determination as to whether or not to shift from the high-probability expected small effect to the high-probability expected large effect is performed based on the effect points given in the normal state effect and the high-probability expected small effect. Specifically, when the point determination random number extraction means extracts the granted point determination random number, the total of the production points stored at the time of the lottery, the extracted assigned point determination random number, the point distribution table, Then, the effect point value corresponding to the total of the effect points is determined. For this reason, it is possible to further increase interest in a series of effects and to surely increase game motivation even when a small hit occurs.

In addition, it has any one structure of means 1 to means 25, and "the first special symbol display on which at least the first special symbol is displayed and the second on which the second special symbol is displayed. "With a special symbol indicator, and changing the first special symbol based on the winning to the first starting port, and changing the second special symbol based on the winning to the second starting port" The following configurations (configurations of means 26 to 30) can be adopted.

Means 26: “Varying the first special symbol or the second special symbol in accordance with the detection order of the game medium by the first winning state detecting unit and the second winning state detecting unit,
It further comprises special symbol variation control means for stopping the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol at the stop symbol determined by the first display mode determining means or the second display mode determining means. And

According to the configuration of the means 26, the two kinds of special symbols are sequentially changed in accordance with the winning order of the game media, so that the two lotteries are prevented from being performed in parallel. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the complexity of the production contents and the unnaturalness of the game.

Means 27: In the constitution of means 26, “If the game medium is detected by the first winning state detection means during the change of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first number is set to a certain number of times as the upper limit. A first holding / digesting means for storing the starting memory number and causing the first special symbol to be changed by the stored first starting memory number;
When the game medium is detected by the second winning state detecting means during the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the second starting memory number is stored up to a certain number of times, and the first It further comprises a second holding / digesting means that allows the two special symbols to be changed by the stored second start-up memory number ”.

According to the configuration of the means 27, the holding / digesting process is performed for both the first lottery means and the second lottery means, and the first winning state is detected during the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. When a game medium is detected by the means, the first start memory number is stored up to a predetermined number of times, and the first display mode is derived by the stored first start memory number. In addition, when a game medium is detected by the second winning state detection means during the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the second start memory number is stored up to a certain number of times and the second start memory number is stored. Derivation of the display mode is sequentially performed by the number of stored second start memory numbers. In particular, since the variation of the two types of special symbols is sequentially derived according to the winning order of the game media, even if there is a difference in the ease of winning for the two starting points, the proportion according to the ease of winning For example, it is possible to suppress the monotonization of effects due to the fact that only one start memory number is left and a corresponding display mode is continuously derived.

Means 28: In the configuration of means 27, “the first lottery means extracts a first winning determination random number based on the winning state detected by the first winning state detecting means. Having means,
The second lottery means has a second winning determination random number extracting means for extracting a second winning determination random number based on the winning state detected by the second winning state detection means,
The first display mode determining means has first winning symbol random number extracting means for extracting a first winning symbol random number based on the winning state detected by the first winning state detector.
The second display mode determining means has second winning design random number extraction means for extracting a second winning design random number based on the winning status detected by the second winning status detection means,
Random number storage means capable of storing the extracted first random number for determination, the second random number for determination, the first random number for symbol, and the second random number for symbol; Total starting memory number (“1” to “m”) which is the sum of the first starting memory number and the second starting memory number
) Further comprising random number storage means each consisting of m storage areas respectively associated with the values of
The first holding / digestion means is:
When the game medium is detected by the first winning state detection means during the change of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the first starting memory number has not reached the upper limit, The value of the first start memory number is increased by “1”, and at least the first hit determination random number and the first hit design random number are extracted. The extracted random numbers and these random numbers are the first lottery means. A first holding control means for storing a determination flag indicating that the random number is a random number in a storage area corresponding to the value of the total starting storage number;
After the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped, the total start memory number is “0”.
If not, based on the determination flag stored in the storage area corresponding to the total starting storage number “1”, whether or not the random number stored in the storage area is a random number related to the first lottery means If the random number is related to the first lottery means, the first hit determination random number and the first hit symbol random number are read from the storage area corresponding to the total start memory number “1”, and the first First digestion control means for reducing the value of the starting storage number by “1”, and shifting each random number value and the determination flag stored in each storage area n to n−1 storage areas,
The second holding / digestion means is:
When the game medium is detected by the second winning state detection means during the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and the second starting memory number has not reached the upper limit, The value of the second start memory number is increased by “1”, and at least the second hit determination random number and the second hit design random number are extracted. The extracted random numbers and these random numbers are the second lottery means. A second holding control means for storing a determination flag indicating that the random number is a random number in a storage area corresponding to the value of the total starting storage number;
After the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped, the total start memory number is “0”.
If not, based on the determination flag stored in the storage area corresponding to the total starting storage number “1”, whether or not the random number stored in the storage area is a random number related to the second lottery means If it is determined and the random number is related to the second lottery means, the second hit determination random number and the second hit design random number are read from the storage area corresponding to the total start memory number “1”, and the second And a second digestion control means for reducing the value of the starting storage number by “1” and shifting each random value stored in each storage area n and the determination flag to the storage area of n−1 ”. It is characterized by.

According to the configuration of the means 28, the first lottery means extracts the first winning determination random number based on the winning state at the first starting port, and determines whether the first winning lottery is successful based on the random number value. . Similarly, the second lottery means extracts a second determination random number based on the winning state at the second starting port, and determines whether or not the second winning lottery is successful based on the random value. On the other hand, the first display mode determining means extracts the first winning design random number based on the winning state detected by the first winning state detecting means, and based on this random number value, whether or not the first winning lottery is determined. The stop symbol corresponding to the result is determined. Similarly, the second display mode determining means extracts a second winning design random number based on the winning state detected by the second winning state detecting means, and based on the random number value, the second winning lottery The stop symbol corresponding to the result of the success or failure is determined.

By the way, when a game medium wins at the first starting port or the second starting port, a random number for determination and a random number for winning symbol are extracted based on the winning state, but the first special symbol or the second special symbol When winning a prize during a change, the display mode determined based on these random numbers cannot be derived immediately. Therefore, these extracted random numbers are stored in a predetermined storage area as start-up storage, and are sequentially read out from the storage area when a new first special symbol or second special symbol can be changed.

By the way, in the present invention, the first lottery means and the second lottery means are performed, and each starting memory number is counted individually, so as a random number storage means for storing the extracted random numbers,
If a first random number storage means corresponding to the first lottery means and a second random number storage means corresponding to the second extraction means are provided, and each random number storage means is constructed from a plurality of storage areas, It is possible to associate the value of the starting storage number (for example, “1” to “4”) with a predetermined number (for example, four) of storage areas. In other words, the first lottery means will be described. When a game medium is won at the first starting slot, the first starting memory number is increased by “1”, and the extracted random number is stored in correspondence with the value of the first starting memory number. On the other hand, after the derivation (variation display) of the first display mode or the second display mode is completed, it is stored in the storage region associated with the value of the first start memory number. It is possible to read the random number value. The same applies to the second lottery means, and the random number value corresponding to the second reserved value can be stored and read out independently of the first starting stored number.

However, first random number storage means (multiple storage areas) corresponding to the first lottery means in this way,
In the case where the second random number storage means (a plurality of storage areas) corresponding to the second lottery means are separately constructed, each lottery means and the winning order of the game media are not associated with each other. It is difficult to specify the random number storage means. In other words, in order to derive the display mode according to the winning order of the game media, a storage means for storing the correspondence between the type of lottery and the winning order must be provided separately, and the processing contents in the hold / digestion are accordingly reduced. The complexity increases and the required capacity of the storage means increases.

On the other hand, according to the configuration of the means 28, a common random number storage means is provided as means for storing the random numbers extracted in the two lotteries. The random number storage means has a total start memory number (“1” to “m”) that is the sum of the first start memory number corresponding to the first lottery means and the second start memory number corresponding to the second lottery means. It consists of m storage areas each associated with a value.

The first lottery means will be described. When a game medium is detected by the first winning state detection means while any special symbol is changing, the first starting memory number has reached the upper limit (for example, “4”). If not, the value of the first start memory number is increased by “1”, and at least the first hit determination random number and the first hit design random number are extracted. Further, each extracted random number and a discrimination flag indicating that these random numbers are random numbers relating to the first lottery means are stored in a storage area corresponding to the value of the total start memory number. After that, when the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped, that is, when it becomes possible to vary the new special symbol, the total of the starting memory number is not “0”. Based on the determination flag stored in the storage area corresponding to the starting storage number “1”, it is determined whether the random number stored in the storage area is a random number related to the first lottery means, and the first lottery means When the random number for the first hit determination and the random number for the first hit symbol stored in the storage area are read out, the value of the first start memory number is set to “
1 ”, and further, each random number value and the discrimination flag stored in each storage area n are changed to n−1.
Shift to the storage area.

On the other hand, the same applies to the second lottery means. When a game medium is detected by the second winning state detection means while any of the special symbols is changed, the second starting memory number is the upper limit (for example, “4”).
If not, the value of the second start memory number is increased by “1”, and at least the second hit determination random number and the second hit design random number are extracted. Further, each extracted random number and a discrimination flag indicating that these random numbers are random numbers relating to the second lottery means are stored in a storage area corresponding to the value of the total start memory number. Thereafter, when a new special symbol can be changed, the random number stored in the storage area is related to the second lottery means based on the determination flag stored in the storage area corresponding to the total starting storage number “1”. It is determined whether or not it is a random number, and if it is a random number related to the second lottery means, the second hit determination random number and the second hit symbol random number stored in the storage area are read and the second start The value of the memory number is reduced by “1”, and each storage area n
Each random number value and the discrimination flag stored in are shifted to n-1 storage areas.

As described above, when a game medium wins one of the first start opening and the second start opening, each random number is extracted, and the extracted random numbers are stored in the storage area in the order of winning. Therefore, it becomes possible to associate the winning order of the game media with the random value. Moreover, in addition to the extracted random number, a determination flag indicating the type of the lottery means is stored in each storage area, so when deriving the display mode, is it derived as the first special symbol for the first lottery means? It is possible to determine whether to derive the second special symbol for the second lottery means. Also,
Since the pending digest process in the two lottery means can be executed by one random number storage means, the reserve digest process is simplified and the capacity of the storage means is reduced.

Means 29: “The first decorative design is changed by the effect display means according to the change of the first special design, and the first decorative design is stopped at a predetermined stop design based on the lottery result of the first lottery means. First decorative design variation control means for causing,
A second decorative symbol is changed by the effect display means in accordance with the change of the second special symbol, and the second decorative symbol is stopped at a predetermined stop symbol based on the lottery result of the second lottery means. It further includes a decorative symbol variation control means. ”

According to the configuration of the means 29, at least a decorative symbol is derived as the contents of the effects related to each lottery means, and the decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner. Specifically, the first decorative symbol variation control means varies the first decorative symbol and stops the first decorative symbol at a predetermined stop symbol based on the lottery result of the first lottery means. The second decorative symbol variation control means varies the second decorative symbol and stops the second decorative symbol at a predetermined stop symbol based on the lottery result of the second lottery means. That is, when the game medium wins at the first start port and the second start port, the decorative symbol sequence is sequentially changed and stopped.

Means 30: In the structure of means 29, “having a common decorative symbol sequence associated with both the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol,
It further includes a decorative symbol sequence fluctuation control means for changing the common decorative symbol sequence by the effect display means when variably displaying either the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol.
It is characterized by that.

By the way, the first decorative design and the second decorative design can be sequentially changed, and are not changed at the same timing. Therefore, when displaying the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol on the display means, only one decorative symbol may be selectively displayed while switching the display state. However, according to this, the display screen frequently changes,
There is a risk that the player may be bothered and annoyed by changes in the display screen. In order to alleviate this burden, etc., it is conceivable that the respective decorative symbols are the same or similar to each other. It is difficult to identify whether it is a decorative symbol or a second decorative symbol related to the second lottery means. On the other hand, the display screen is divided into an area for the first decorative design and an area for the second decorative design,
It is also conceivable to always display two decorative symbols. However, according to this configuration, one of the areas is always meaningless display, i.e., no change, and the display area for one decorative design is halved. There is a concern that it will be difficult.

On the other hand, according to the configuration of the means 30, the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are displayed on the display means, and a common decorative symbol sequence associated with both the decorative symbols is also displayed at the same time. When either the first decorative symbol or the second decorative symbol is variably displayed, the common decorative symbol sequence (hereinafter referred to as a common decorative symbol sequence) also varies. Therefore, by recognizing the display position of a fluctuating decorative symbol among the decorative symbols displayed at the same time, it is possible to easily grasp which lottery is being performed, and to produce an effect by a decorative symbol sequence. The contents and stop symbols can be recognized by the common decorative symbol sequence. In other words, even if the size of the first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol is relatively small, the presence or absence of variation can be recognized.
Accordingly, the display area of the common decorative symbol sequence is increased, and for example, a powerful effect in which the common decorative symbol sequence is displayed on the entire screen becomes possible.

Means 31: In any one of the means 1 to 30, the game machine is a pachinko machine. A pachinko machine is a gaming machine in which an input medium, which is a medium that a player inputs into the gaming machine, and a game medium, which is a medium used for a substantial game performed by the player, are the same. For example, it is a type of gaming machine in which a game is played using a medium such as a game ball. Specifically, “a launching device that launches a game ball in response to the operation of the operation handle, and appropriate equipment such as a number of obstacle nails, center objects, display means, etc. A game area provided with an appropriate entrance for a game ball such as a mouth, a passage opening, an arrival opening, etc., a rail for guiding the game ball from the launching device to the game area, and a game ball guided to the game area It has a payout means for paying out a predetermined number of game balls as prize balls according to the entrance to the entrance and according to the entrance mode of the game balls to a plurality of entrances.

In addition, there are various types of pachinko machines, and “typical state detection means for detecting the state of entrance to the entrance (typically, game state detection) represented by what is generally called“ digipachi ” Means), a lottery means for performing a predetermined lottery when the entry is detected by the entrance state detecting means, and a special symbol display means for changing the special symbol according to the lottery result of the lottery means and stopping the fluctuation. "In addition, what further includes an effect display means for causing a decorative symbol sequence consisting of a plurality of decorative symbols to change and display characters etc. at a predetermined timing while the special symbols are changing", Generally represented by what is commonly referred to as “Honeymono” “Represented by those having lottery means for performing lottery by distributing game balls in the role”, generally represented by “Alepati” For example, one game is played with a predetermined number of game balls such as 16, and a predetermined number of game balls are paid out in accordance with the manner of entering the game balls into a plurality of entrances in one game. can do.

According to the structure of the means 31, in the pachinko machine, any operational effect from the means 1 to the means 30 can be achieved.

Means 32: In any one of the constitutions of means 1 to 30, “the gaming machine is a pachislot machine”. A pachislot machine is used to insert a medal, which is a game medium, and after a medal is inserted, a symbol string composed of a plurality of symbols is displayed in a variable manner in accordance with the operation of a starting operation means (for example, an operation lever), and then a stop This is a slot machine with a stop operation function that performs a substantial game of stopping the fluctuation of the symbol sequence in accordance with the operation of an operation means (for example, a stop button). If the stop operating means is not operated even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the change in the symbol sequence may be stopped when the predetermined time has elapsed. And, when the combination of symbols at the time of stopping the variation of the symbol row satisfies a specific condition, a predetermined number of medals can be paid out according to the satisfied condition, or the player can acquire a large amount of medals. In addition, a special advantageous state advantageous to the player is generated.

According to the means 32, in the pachi-slot machine, any of the operational effects from the means 1 to the means 30 can be achieved.

Means 33: The structure of any one of Means 1 to 30 is characterized in that “the gaming machine is a gaming machine formed by fusing a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine”. Here, “a game machine in which a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine are fused” means that a plurality of (for example, five) game balls are used as one unit of input medium, and after the input medium is input, the starting operation means A symbol string composed of a plurality of symbols is variably displayed in response to an operation of the operation lever (for example, an operation lever), and thereafter, the variation of the symbol string is stopped in response to an operation of a stop operation means (for example, a stop button). If the stop operating means is not operated even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the change in the symbol sequence may be stopped when the predetermined time has elapsed. And, when the combination of symbols at the time of stopping the variation of the symbol row satisfies a specific condition, a predetermined number of medals can be paid out according to the satisfied condition, or the player can acquire a large amount of medals. In addition, a special advantageous state advantageous to the player is generated.

According to the means 33, in the gaming machine formed by fusing the pachinko machine and the pachislot machine, any one of the effects from the means 1 to the means 30 can be achieved.

At first glance, there is a game medium in a game machine that does not play a substantial game depending on the medium to be inserted, such as a pachislot machine exemplified above or a game machine in which a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine are fused. However, even with such a gaming machine, it can be assumed that a game played using a game ball or other appropriate article is included in the entire game content. Therefore, even such a gaming machine can be a target of a gaming machine in which a game is played using a gaming medium.

In this way, in the present invention, even if a low-winning hit occurs, the player can be inferred that the win is a high-winning advantage, and a decrease in the willingness to play is suppressed. be able to. Moreover, since the possibility that the probability fluctuation state has occurred is gradually increased by the effects that appear in stages, a decrease in expectation can be suppressed. Also, from the normal gaming state,
After that, it is possible to participate in a game with a high-probability expected small production developed and displayed, and it is possible to further increase interest in a series of productions. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the end of the game due to a decrease in game motivation as much as possible.

As shown in the drawing, the lens portion 452 of the sunglasses 453 in the first decorative movable body 430 has a pattern appearing on the surface according to the color of light emitted from the LED 456 of the light emitting substrate 457. Specifically, When a red light is emitted from the LED 456, a “crescent-like pattern” appears, and when a blue light is emitted from the LED 456, a “predetermined Chinese character” (here, “place”) related to the character appears. It has become. The structure of the lens portion 452 is as follows:
The above-mentioned “crescent-shaped pattern” and “predetermined kanji” are arranged so as to overlap with each other, and the overlapped portion is a colorless or white translucent white portion 459, and “crescent-shaped pattern” The non-overlapping portion is a red portion 460 having red translucency, the non-overlapping portion of “predetermined Chinese characters” is the blue portion 461 having blue translucency, and the other portions are substantially The black portion 462 is black.

In this example, since the lens portion 452 has the above-described configuration, for example, when red light is emitted from the LED 456, the red light is transmitted through the white portion 459 and the red portion 460, and the blue portion 4
61 and the black portion 462 do not transmit red light, so that a “crescent-shaped pattern” due to the white portion 459 and the red portion 460 appears. On the other hand, when the blue light is irradiated from the LED 456, the blue light is transmitted through the white portion 459 and the blue portion 461, and the blue light is not transmitted through the red portion 460 and the black portion 462. The “predetermined kanji” will appear. As described above, by appropriately combining the colored light and the colored member having translucency, a desired pattern can be easily displayed without using an expensive display device such as an LCD. .

In this example, the light emitting substrate 457 to which the LED 456 is attached is formed on a highly light-shielding member. Specifically, a light shielding member made of a black paint or black film having a high light shielding property is provided on the back side of the light emitting substrate 457. Thereby, L from the rear side of the lens portion 452
The light other than the ED 456 is prevented from entering, and the white portion 459, the red portion 460, and the blue portion 461 other than the black portion 462 are prevented from being seen when the LED 456 is turned off. In addition, the LED 456 is used as the light source, and the wavelength band of the emitted color is narrow compared with other light sources, and the content of other color components is small, so that a desired color pattern can be more reliably displayed. It has become.

Further, the first decorative movable body 430 is provided with a fixing portion 463 for fixing and supporting the first decorative movable body driving unit 450 on the base member 458, and the first decorative movable body is provided by the fixed portion 463. 430 is supported by the first decorative movable body drive unit 450.

In this example, the rotation of the drive pulley 478 by the first drive motor 477 is performed when the rotation of the drive gear 482 fixed to the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 is arranged above the drive gear 482. Transmission gear 48 that meshes with 482 and rotates integrally with drive pulley 478
3, the drive pulley 478 is driven to rotate. By using the drive gear 482 and the transmission gear 483, the position of the drive pulley 478 is made higher than the drive shaft 476 of the first drive motor 477 so that the vertical movable range of the first elevating member 470 is increased. It has become. Further, the inner peripheral surface of the drive belt 480 is provided with engagement teeth 484 at predetermined intervals over the entire circumference, and the drive pulley 478 has engaged teeth 485 that engage with the engagement teeth 484. The rotational drive of the drive pulley 478 is reliably transmitted to the drive belt 480 by the engagement between the engaged teeth 485 and the engagement teeth 484. The driven pulley 479 is a flat pulley without engaged teeth.

In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450, a first elevating member 470 is provided with a guide rail 471.
The first rotation preventing means 490 is further provided for preventing rotation about the extending axial direction of the first rotation. The first rotation preventing means 490 includes a guide rod 491 supported at the upper and lower ends thereof by the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473, and disposed substantially parallel to the guide rail 471, and the front-rear direction. The first elevating member 47 can be brought into contact with the guide rod 491 from the first elevating member 47.
And a guide member 492 attached to zero. As shown in the figure, the first rotation preventing means 490 has a guide rod 491 disposed on the right side of the guide rail 471 at a predetermined distance and a guide member 492 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. The first elevating member 470 can be satisfactorily prevented from rotating around the axis of the guide rail 471 by abutting on any one of the front and rear sides.

In this example, the guide rail 471 and the guide rod 491 are both metal round bars, and a friction reducing layer for reducing sliding resistance is formed on the surface of the guide rail 471. This friction reducing layer is made of, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (
PTFE (for example, Teflon (registered trademark)) is coated with a predetermined thickness, and thereby the dynamic friction resistance value and the static friction resistance value of the first elevating member 470 guided by the guide rail 471 are set. It can be made as close as possible, and when the stationary first elevating member 470 starts moving, it can start moving smoothly, and wear of the guide rail 471 and the like can be reduced to improve durability. It can be done. The guide rod 49
The surface of 1 is chrome-plated, so that corrosion such as rust is prevented to improve durability, and it is cheaper than the guide rail 471 and can prevent an increase in cost. ing.

The first decorative movable body drive unit 450 further includes a tension mechanism 493 that applies a predetermined tension to the drive belt 480. The tension mechanism 493 is guided by the guide rail 471 and rotatably supports the driven pulley 479, and one end is attached to the moving body 494 and the other end is attached to the first base 475, and the moving body 494 is moved downward. And a tension spring 495 for biasing.

The moving body 494 of the tension mechanism 493 has a guide hole 49 through which the guide rail 471 is inserted.
6, a hook-shaped locking portion 498 that locks a shaft portion 497 that opens downward and protrudes from both ends of the driven pulley 479, and a tension spring 49 disposed between the guide hole 496 and the locking portion 498.
5 is provided with a spring mounting portion 499 to which one end of 5 is attached. As a result, the driven pulley 479 can be supported by the movable body 494 in a state where the drive belt 480 is wound around the driven pulley 479, and assembly is facilitated. Further, the guide hole 496 and the driven pulley 47
Since the drive belt 480 is pulled by the tension spring 495 with the locking portion 498 that locks the 9 shaft portion 497, the shaft of the guide hole 496 is greatly inclined with respect to the shaft of the guide rail 471. It is possible to prevent the sliding resistance of the moving body 494 on the guide rail 471 from increasing, the moving body 494 can move smoothly, and the posture of the moving body 494 changes greatly. Thus, the drive belt 480 is tensioned satisfactorily.

In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450, as shown in the figure, the drive pulley 478 is disposed on the upper side and the driven pulley 479 is disposed on the lower side, and the drive wound around the drive pulley 478 and the driven pulley 479 is driven. The belt 480 is urged downward by the tension mechanism 493 via the driven pulley 479. Further, since the first elevating member 470 is fixed to the driving belt 480, the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 is applied to the driving belt 480 and pulled downward only to one side of the driving belt 480. A force is applied, and the driving belt 480 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 478 by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430.

On the other hand, the upper drive pulley 478 is provided with engaged teeth 485 that engage with the engagement teeth 484 of the drive belt 480, and the drive belt depends on the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430. The driving belt 480 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 478.
The engagement teeth 484 of the drive pulley 478 and the engaged teeth 485 of the drive pulley 478 become stronger, and the rotation of the drive pulley 478 by the first drive motor 477 is prevented, so that the drive belt 48
The rotation of 0 is prevented, and the weights of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 are supported by the driving pulley 478 via the driving belt 480, and the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 are supported. Is not applied to the lower driven pulley 479 or the tension mechanism 493. As a result, the first elevating member 470 and the like can be moved up and down satisfactorily without applying an extra load to the tension mechanism 493, and the cost of the tension mechanism 493 and the like with the urging force by the tension mechanism 493 being minimized. Can be reduced.

By the way, when the drive pulley 478, the driven pulley 479, and the tension mechanism 493 are arranged upside down, the weights of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 are the same as the drive belt 48.
The driven pulley 479 is not provided with engaged teeth that engage with the engaging teeth 484 of the drive belt 480, and the driven pulley 479 is free to rotate. Therefore, the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 cannot be supported by the driven pulley 479, the first elevating member 470 is lowered, and the drive belt 480 is rotated in a predetermined direction. Will be. Further, since the driving belt 480 is pulled downward by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 in the lower driving pulley 478, the winding force of the driving belt 480 on the driving pulley 478 is weakened. That is, the engagement between the engagement teeth 484 of the drive belt 480 and the engaged teeth 485 of the drive pulley 478 is weakened, and it becomes easy to slip.

When slippage occurs between the drive pulley 478 and the drive belt 480, the drive belt 4
80 is rotated by the weight of the first elevating member 470 and the first decorative movable body 430 regardless of the rotation of the first drive motor 477, and the first elevating member 470 is lowered, and the first elevating member 470 is moved. Can not move up and down well. Therefore, the tension mechanism 49
It is conceivable to prevent the drive pulley 478 and the drive belt 480 from slipping by increasing the urging force by the force 3, but if the urging force is increased, not only the tension mechanism 493,
It is necessary to increase the strength of the drive pulley 478, the driven pulley 479, the drive belt 480, the first base 475, and the like, which causes a problem of increasing the cost of the first decorative movable body drive unit 450. Thus, it is desirable to arrange the drive pulley 478 on the upper side and the driven pulley 479 on the lower side, respectively.

In the first decorative movable body drive unit 450 of this example, the positioning hole 5 for positioning the mounting positions of the first upper support member 472 and the first lower support member 473 in the first base 475 is also provided.

The belt 640 is biased downward by a tension mechanism 653 via a driven pulley 639. Further, since the second elevating member 630 is fixed to the driving belt 640, the weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 are applied to the driving belt 640 and pulled downward only to one side of the driving belt 640. A force is applied, and the driving belt 640 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 638 by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432.

On the other hand, the upper drive pulley 638 is provided with engaged teeth 645 that engage with the engagement teeth 644 of the drive belt 640. The driving belt 640 is strongly wound around the driving pulley 638.
The engagement teeth 644 of the drive pulley 638 and the engaged teeth 645 of the drive pulley 638 become stronger, and the rotation of the drive pulley 638 by the second drive motor 637 is prevented, so that the drive belt 64
The rotation of 0 is prevented, and the weights of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 are supported by the drive pulley 638 via the drive belt 640, and the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 are supported. Is not applied to the lower driven pulley 639 or the tension mechanism 653. As a result, the second elevating member 630 and the like can be moved up and down satisfactorily without applying an extra load to the tension mechanism 653, and the cost required for the tension mechanism 653 and the like with a minimum biasing force by the tension mechanism 653 can be achieved. Can be reduced.

By the way, when the vertical arrangement of the driving pulley 638, the driven pulley 639, and the tension mechanism 653 is reversed, the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 is the driving belt 64.

It will rotate. Further, since the drive belt 640 is pulled downward by the weight of the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 432 in the lower drive pulley 638, the winding force of the drive belt 640 on the drive pulley 638 is weakened. In other words, the engagement between the engagement teeth 644 of the drive belt 640 and the engaged teeth 645 of the drive pulley 638 is weakened, making it easier to slip on each other.

When slippage occurs between the drive pulley 638 and the drive belt 640, the drive belt 6
4 is the second elevating member 630 and the second decorative movable body 4 regardless of the rotation of the second drive motor 637.
Therefore, the second lifting member 630 is lowered, and the second lifting member 630 cannot be moved up and down satisfactorily. Therefore, the tension mechanism 653
It is conceivable to prevent slippage between the drive pulley 638 and the drive belt 640 by increasing the urging force by the above-mentioned, but when the urging force is increased, not only the tension mechanism 653 but also the drive pulley 638, the driven pulley 639, and the drive It is necessary to increase the strength of the belt 640, the second base 635, and the like, which causes a problem that the cost of the second decorative movable body drive unit 433 increases. The driven pulleys 639 are preferably arranged on the lower side.

Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 94 (particularly the CPU 812) will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 58A shows the CPU 8 mounted on the main control board 94.
12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a main process executed by the CPU 12, and FIG. FIG. 59 is a flowchart illustrating an example of timer interrupt processing. FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol / special electric accessory control process. FIG. 61 is a flowchart showing the start opening winning process. FIG. 62 is a flowchart showing the change start process. FIG. 63 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the variable display pattern setting process. FIG. 64 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the changing process. FIG. 65 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the big hit game start process. FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing an example of the small hit game start process. FIG. 67 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special electric utility jackpot control process. FIG. 68 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special electric accessory small hit control process. The timer interrupt process is executed at a predetermined timing (every 4 ms in this embodiment) by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94.

As shown in FIG. 58A, when the supply of power to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the CPU 812
Executes the process at power-on (step S1). In this power-on process, the RAM 81
4 determines whether the backup data stored in the memory 4 is normal (is the set value when a power failure occurs) or not, and if it is normal, returns to the state when the power failure occurred according to the backup data stored in the RAM 814. Processing (power recovery processing) is executed, and if the backup data is abnormal, the RAM 814 is cleared and device settings around the CPU (normal initial setting: setting of interrupt timing, etc.) are performed. If the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 stops during the game, R
The current gaming state is stored in the AM 814 as backup data. If the RAM erase switch for instructing clearing of backup data stored in the RAM 814 is turned on in the power-on process, the RAM 814 is cleared and normal initialization is performed. If no backup data is stored in the RAM 814 mounted on the main control board 94 in the power-on process, the RAM 814 is cleared and normal initial setting is performed. In the power-on process, a process of setting a power-on command indicating that the main control board 94 is activated to the sub-integrated board 830 when normal initial setting is executed is also executed.
The power-on command notifies the sub integrated board 830 that the main control board 94 is activated. In addition, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped (when the power is turned off) when the amusement store is closed, the backup data is stored in the RAM 814, and the power supply is started when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started again. Processing at the time of execution is executed.

When the power-on process ends, the CPU 812 starts a loop process that repeatedly executes each process for gaming. At the start of this loop processing, the CPU 812 first determines whether or not a power failure notice signal has been detected (step S2). In this embodiment, the power supply voltage used in the pachinko machine 1 is generated by a power supply board (not shown). That is, since the plurality of types of devices mounted on the pachinko machine 1 operate with different power supply voltages, the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is converted into a predetermined power supply voltage on the power supply board, Supplying to the device. Therefore, when a power failure occurs and the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the power supply board becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined power supply voltage, a power failure notice signal indicating that the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply board to the main control board 94 is stopped. Sent. Then, when the power failure notice signal is detected by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94 in step S2, a process at the time of occurrence of power interruption is executed (step S4). When the power interruption occurs, the processing of the gaming machine is in the state before the power failure when the power supply voltage (24V in this embodiment) supplied to the power supply board after the power failure is restored (hereinafter referred to as power recovery). This is a process of storing the state at the time of the power outage as backup data in the RAM 814 in order to start from the beginning. Although the processing content will be described later, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the power failure occurrence processing is not interrupt processing, but as branch processing that is executed immediately after the start of the loop depending on whether or not a power failure warning signal is detected. It is incorporated in the main process (main control process).

When the power failure warning signal is not detected in step S2, that is, when power from the external power supply is normally supplied, random number update processing 2 for updating various random numbers used in the game.
Is performed (step S3). The random number updated in the random number update process 2 will be described later.

FIG. 58B is a flowchart showing an example of the power-off occurrence process (step S4). As described above, the power-off occurrence process is a process executed when a power failure warning signal is detected in the main process. First, the CPU 812 performs an interrupt prohibition setting so that the interrupt process is not executed (step S4a). Then, the checksum of the RAM 814 is calculated and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 814 (step S4b). This checksum is used to check whether or not the contents of the RAM 814 before the power failure is retained at the time of power recovery.

Next, the CPU 812 sets a specified value indicating that the process at the time of power-off occurrence has been performed in a backup flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 814 (step S4c). When the above processing is completed, the CPU 812 prohibits access to the RAM 814 (step S4d).
), Enter into an infinite loop and prepare for the stop of power supply. In this process, if the power supply voltage becomes unstable due to a very short power failure, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “instantaneous power interruption”), the process at the time of the occurrence of a power interruption has started. Since the power supply voltage is not stopped, there is a possibility that it is impossible to return from the infinite loop in the above processing. In order to avoid such adverse effects, the CPU 812 of the present embodiment is provided with a watchdog timer,
If the watchdog timer is not updated, a reset is applied. The watchdog timer is periodically updated while the process is normally performed. However, the watchdog timer enters the process when the power is cut off and is not updated. As a result, even when the power interruption occurs due to a momentary power failure and the infinite loop of FIG. 58 is entered, a reset is applied after a predetermined period of time, and the CPU 812 is activated in the same process as when the power is turned on.

FIG. 59 is a flowchart illustrating an example of timer interrupt processing. As described above, in this embodiment, the timer interrupt process is executed every 4 ms by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94 during the execution of the main process. In the timer interrupt process, the CPU 812 executes a register saving process (step S10), and then performs steps S11 to S18.
Execute the process. In the switch input process of step S11, a process of monitoring the detection signal of the above-described switches (gate switch, start port sensor, count sensor, general winning switch, etc.) is executed. In the random number update process 1 in step S12, a process of updating various random numbers used in the game is executed. In this embodiment, the random number updated in the random number update process 1 is different from the random number updated in the random number update process 2 described above. Although the random number will be described later, the random number updated in the random number update process 2 may be updated in the random number update process 1 as well. In the payout operation process in step S13, a payout command for instructing the payout control board 133 to pay out the game ball is set based on the signal detected in the switch input process (step S11).

In the ordinary symbol / ordinary electric accessory control process of step S14, the ordinary symbol is changed based on the progress of the game, and the ordinary electric accessory (that is, the start port solenoid 352) is changed.
The movable piece 331) that is opened and closed is controlled to change the open / close state of the second start port 332. In the special symbol / special electric accessory control process in step S15, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are displayed in a variable manner on the first special symbol indicator 390a and the second special symbol indicator 390 based on the progress of the game. Or a special electric accessory (that is, attacker solenoid 37)
2 controls the open / close door 334 (attacker device 335) that is opened and closed by the 2 and the prize winning opening 333
The process of changing the open / close state of is executed. In the output data setting process of step S16, a process of outputting a state signal indicating a gaming state to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, a management computer), a process of outputting a drive signal to a special figure start memory lamp (not shown), Etc. In the command transmission process of step S17, a process of transmitting the effect command to the sub integrated board 830 is executed. In the command transmission process, a process of transmitting the power-on command set in the power-on process (step S1) to the sub-integrated board 830 when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started is also performed. When the process from step S11 to step S17 is executed, a register restoration process (step S18) is executed, and the process ends.

Here, various random numbers that are updated by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94 in the random number update process 1 (step S12) and the random number update process 2 (step S3) described above will be described. In this embodiment, as the various random numbers used in the game, the jackpot gaming state (
Random number for big hit determination used to determine whether or not (including “small hit” described later) is generated (big hit determination), whether or not to make a promising big hit when it is determined that a big hit gaming state is generated in the big hit determination Random for jackpot symbol used for determination (probability change judgment), random number for jackpot symbol used to determine stop symbol of special symbol when it is determined that a big hit gaming state is generated in jackpot determination, Reach determination random number, first special symbol display 390a, and second special symbol display used for determining whether or not to release with a reach mode when it is determined not to generate a big hit gaming state (reach determination) A variable display pattern random number (variable time random number) used for determining a variable display pattern (variable time) of the special symbol displayed in 390b, Determining whether or not (usually lottery per determination) Average per determining random number used to control Dohen 331 in an open state, and the like. In this example, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to generate a small hit gaming state using a big hit determination random number. It is also determined whether or not to make a probability variation jackpot (the probability that a specific profit is given is set higher than usual) using a jackpot symbol random number. Note that the variable display pattern of the special symbol may be determined using the reach determination random number, and the variable display pattern of the decorative symbol that is controlled to be displayed by the effect display device 217 may be determined.

Among these random numbers, in the random number update process 1, a jackpot determination random number related to the occurrence of the jackpot gaming state, a jackpot symbol random number, and a normal symbol determination random number related to whether or not the movable piece 331 is controlled to be opened. Update. That is, the occurrence of the big hit gaming state and the movable piece 33
The random number used for the determination regarding whether or not to control 1 to the open state is updated every 4 ms as a predetermined timing. By doing in this way, the probability (probability to determine that a big hit gaming state is generated, probability to determine that the movable piece 331 is controlled to be opened) in a predetermined period with each random number can be made constant, It can be prevented that the person becomes disadvantageous. On the other hand, in the random number update process 2, the reach determination random number and the variable display pattern random number that are not related to the occurrence of the big hit gaming state and the normal lottery are updated.

FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol / special electric accessory control process (step S15). In the special symbol / special electric accessory control process, the CPU 812 executes step S
20 to step S90 are executed. In the start opening winning process in step S20, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the first start opening 330 or the second start opening 332, and if the winning is won, a process of updating the lottery hold state is executed. In the variation start process of step S30, the number of starting memories (holding number) in each big hit lottery is confirmed, and if the number of starting memories (total number of starting memories) is not 0, the corresponding special symbol variation display is started. Make settings for As will be described in detail later, specifically, it is determined whether or not a big hit gaming state is to be generated, and if a big hit gaming state is to be generated, whether or not to be a promising big hit is determined. In the variation pattern setting process in step S40, settings related to variation display of each special symbol and each decorative symbol are performed. More specifically, as will be described later, specifically, a variable display pattern of each special symbol is determined, and a variable time (first special symbol display 390a and second special symbol display) set in correspondence with the variable display pattern. In 390b, the time from when the special symbol variation display is started to when it is stopped is set in the timer.

In the changing process of step S50, the timer set with the changing time in the changing display pattern setting process (step S40) is monitored, and the first special symbol display 390a or the second special symbol display is performed based on the timer being timed out. Processing to stop the special symbol variation display in the device 390b is performed. At this time, if it is determined in any one of the big win lotteries in the variation start process (step S30), the process selection flag is updated to “3”, and the small win game state is set in the same lottery. If the determination is made, the process selection flag is updated to “4”, and if it is not determined to be the big hit or small hit gaming state, the process selection flag is set to “0”.
Update to

In the jackpot game start process in step S60, settings for starting the jackpot game state are performed. Specifically, as described later, the number of times the attacker device 335 is opened, the opening time, and the like are set according to the type of jackpot. In addition, in the small hit game start process in step S70, setting for starting the small hit game state is performed. As will be described later in detail, the attacker device 33 for small hits
5 sets the number of times of opening, opening time, and the like. In the special electric utility jackpot control process in step S80, the big winning opening 333 is opened, and the attacker device 335 is closed when a predetermined number of game balls have won the big winning opening 333 or when a predetermined period has elapsed. Process to make it. In addition, if the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state has not reached the predetermined number, the processing for opening the attacker device 335 is performed again. When the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state has reached the predetermined number, the processing selection flag Is updated to “5”. In addition, after the number of rounds reaches a predetermined number, processing for generating a probability variation state and a short-time gaming state is executed. In the special electric accessory small hit control process in step S90, the big prize opening 333 is opened, and the attacker device 335 is closed when a predetermined number of game balls have won the big prize opening 333 or when a predetermined period has elapsed. Perform processing to set the status. As will be described in detail later, the opening of the big prize opening 333 in the special electric accessory small hit control process seems to have a very low profit to the player as compared to the special electric bonus hit control process (step S80). Is set to Next, specific processing in steps S20 to S90 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 61, in the start opening prize process, first, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from the second start opening sensor 358, and when the detection signal is output from the second start opening sensor 358, , It is determined that the game ball has won the second start port 332 (YES in step S201),
If the detection signal from the second start port sensor 358 is not output, it is determined that the game ball has not won the second start port 332 (NO in step S201). When it is determined in step S201 that a game ball has won the second starting port 332, various random numbers (
The jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol random number, etc. are acquired, and it is determined whether or not the value of the second reserved ball number counter provided in the RAM 814 is less than 4 which is the upper limit value (step S20).
2). Then, if the second reserved ball number counter is less than 4 in step S202, a second start hold storage process (step S203) and a hold history update process (step S204) are executed. These processes will be described later. If the value of the second reserved ball number counter is 4 in step S202, the second start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

On the other hand, when the detection signal is not output from the second start port sensor 358 in step S201 (NO in step S201), or when the value of the second reserved ball number counter is 4 (NO in step S202). Determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start port 330 (step S205). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from the first start port sensor 416. When it is determined in step S205 that a game ball has won the first starting port 330 (YES), various random numbers for the first big hit lottery are obtained, and the value of the first reserved ball number counter provided in the RAM 814 is obtained. It is determined whether or not the upper limit is less than 4 (step S206). If the first held ball number counter is less than 4 in step S206, the first start hold storage process (step S207) and the hold history update process (step S208).
Execute. If the value of the first reserved ball number counter is 4 in step S206,
The first start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

As shown in FIG. 62, in the fluctuation start process, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “0”.
If it is “0” (YES in step S301), the processing after step S302 is executed, and if it is not “0” (NO in step S301), the variation start processing is terminated. In step S302, it is determined whether or not the values of the two reserved ball number counters (the first start memory number and the second start memory number) corresponding to the special symbol indicators 390a and 390b are “0”. . The sum of the values of the two reserved ball number counters indicates the number of random number values stored in the start memory storage area (the special symbol random number storage means 940 (see FIG. 79)). If both the reserved ball number counter values are “0” (YES)
Then, it is determined that the start conditions regarding the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery are not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S317.

On the other hand, if the value of any of the reserved ball counters is not “0” in step S302 (NO)
Then, start memory transfer processing is executed (steps S303 to S311). As shown in FIG. 79, the special symbol random number storage means 940 has eight storage areas (storage areas [1] 940a to
A storage area [8] 940h) is provided. That is, eight storage areas 940a to 940h are provided, which are respectively associated with the value of the total start memory number (“1” to “8”), which is the sum of the first start memory number and the second start memory number. It has been. Each of the storage areas 940a to 940h stores a big hit determination random number storage area 946 for storing a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol random number storage area 947 for storing a big hit symbol random number, and a special symbol determination flag. And a special symbol determination flag storage area 948. As the special symbol determination flag, “0” indicating that the stored random number is a random number related to the first special symbol (first lottery), and the second special symbol (
“1” indicating that the random number is related to the second lottery is set. In the start memory transfer process, first, the symbol to be changed next based on the special symbol determination flag stored in the special symbol determination flag storage region 948 of the storage area [1] 940a is the second special symbol. Whether or not (step S303). If it is not the second special symbol, that is, if it is the first special symbol (NO in step S303), each of the nth (n is a natural number of 2 or more) storage areas (storage area [2] 940b to storage area [8] Various random numbers stored in 940h)
Processing (step S304) for shifting to the (n-1) th storage area (storage area [1] 940a to storage area [7] 940g), and random numbers related to the first special symbol stored in the storage area [1] 940a Is executed (step S305). In addition, “1” is set to the special symbol variation flag (step S306), and a process of subtracting “1” from the reserved ball number counter corresponding to the first special symbol is executed (step S307).

On the other hand, if the next variable symbol that is determined based on the special symbol determination flag stored in the special symbol determination flag storage region 948 of the storage area [1] 940a is the second special symbol (step S303). As in step S304, various random numbers stored in the nth storage areas (storage area [2] 940b to storage area [8] 940h) are stored in the (n-1) th storage area (storage area [ 1] Processing to shift to 940a to storage area [7] 940g) (
Step S308) and processing for obtaining a random number related to the second special symbol stored in the storage area [1] 940a (Step S309) are executed. Further, “2” is set to the special symbol variation flag (step S310), and a process of subtracting “1” from the reserved ball number counter corresponding to the second special symbol is executed (step S311).

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is in operation, that is, whether or not the probability variation state has a high probability (step S312). If not the probability variation state (NO in step S312),
A jackpot determination table when the probability variation is not activated, that is, a table with a low probability of being a jackpot is selected. On the other hand, if the probability variation state is set (YES in step S312), the table when the probability variation is activated, ie, Select a table with a high probability of winning a big hit. In this example, as shown in FIG. 80 (a), when the probability variation is not activated (ie, normal), the probability of a big hit is set to 1 / 315.5, and when the probability variation is activated (ie, high). The probability of winning a big hit is set to 1 / 31.55.

After any table is selected in step S313 or step S314, the random number related to any special symbol acquired in step S305 or step S309 based on the table is a random number corresponding to the big hit (big hit value) It is determined whether or not (step S315). If it is a big hit value (YES in step S315), the big hit flag is set to "ON" (step S316), and the process proceeds to step S317. On the other hand, when the acquired random number is not a big hit value (NO in step S315),
It is determined whether or not the random number is a random number corresponding to a small hit (small hit value) (step S31).
8). If it is a small hit value (YES in step S318), the small hit flag is set to “ON” (step S319), and the process proceeds to step S317. NO in S318), without going through step S319
The process proceeds to step S317. In step S317, the process flag is updated to “1”, and the variation start process is terminated. Note that the ON / OFF states (set state and reset state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag are stored in the RAM 814. The OFF state (reset state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag means that a value of “0” is set, and the ON state (set state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag is a value of “1”. Is set.

In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 63, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “1”.
If “1” is obtained in step S317 (YES in step S401), the process from step S402 is executed, and if not “1” (NO in step S401).
) Ends the variation pattern setting process. In step S402, the big hit flag is “O
N ”is determined and if“ ON ”is determined in step S316 (step S316)
If YES in 402), it is determined based on the acquired random number whether the big hit is a probability big hit or a normal big hit (step S403). If the probability variation big hit (YES in step S403), it is determined whether or not a special hit is made (step S4).
04). As will be described in detail later, any of the probability fluctuation jackpots, “In the subsequent lottery, the probability that a specific profit will be granted is set to a probability fluctuation state higher than usual and fluctuates on any special symbol display. When the special symbol to be changed is shortened (relatively shorter than the normal time), and the ease of winning a prize at the second start port 332 is increased more than usual, a short game state is generated. This is common, but the probability variation jackpots that are special hits and general probability fluctuation jackpots that are not special hits are set so that the degree of profit given to the player is greatly different. In other words, in the general probability fluctuation big hit, the attacker device 335 (
The opening time per time (corresponding to the open / close prize apparatus of the present invention) is set to a time that allows a plurality of (for example, 10) game balls to be awarded with a margin, and the attacker device 33
The number of opening / closing operations 5 is controlled so as to give many benefits (for example, 15 times). On the other hand, in the probability variation big hit which is a special hit, the opening time per time of the attacker device 335 is set to a time at which several (for example, one or two) game balls can barely win. The opening / closing operation of the attacker device 335 is controlled to be performed twice, for example.

If it is determined in step S404 that it is not a special hit, that is, if it is determined that it is a general probability fluctuation big hit (NO), a probability variation big hit variation display pattern table is selected (step S405), while a special hit is determined. If it is determined that it is a hit (YES in step S404), the probability variation special hit fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step S406). If it is determined in step S403 that the probability variation is not big hit, that is, if it is decided that the normal big hit is made (YES), the normal big hit fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step S407).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S402 that the big hit flag is not “ON” (NO), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is “ON” (step S408), and “ON” is determined in step S319. If YES (YES in step S408), the small hit change display pattern table is selected (step S409). When the small hit flag is not “ON” (NO in step S408), it is determined whether or not the acquired reach determination random number is a random number (reach value) corresponding to reach (step S410). ) If it is a reach value (YES in step S410), a deviation reach fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step 411). If it is not a reach value (NO in step S410), a deviation fluctuation display is performed. A pattern table is selected (step S412).

As described above, when the variable display pattern table is selected in any step, the variable display pattern is calculated based on the variable display pattern table and the variable display random number acquired in either step S305 or step S309. Determine (step S413). Next, a selection value is set as an effect command for designating the variation display pattern determined in step S413 (step S414), and a variation time corresponding to the variation display pattern is set to a timer provided in the RAM 814 mounted on the main control board 94. (In this embodiment, the valid period timer) is set (step S415). In step S415, the variation time set in the variation display pattern determined in step S413 is set in the effective period timer. Note that the variable display pattern command set in step S414 is transmitted to the sub-integrated board 830 by command transmission output processing. When a variable display pattern command is transmitted to the sub-integrated board 830 by command transmission output processing, a drive signal is output to the first special symbol display 390a and the second special symbol display 390b, and the special symbol variation display is started. Let Thereafter, the processing flag is updated to “2” (step S416), and the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

In the changing processing shown in FIG. 64, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “2” (step S
501) If “2” is obtained in step S416 (YES in step S501), the processing after step S502 is executed, and if not “2” (step S50).
If NO at 1), the changing process is terminated. In step S502, the first special symbol indicator 390a or the second special symbol indicator 390b determines whether the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changing. It is determined whether or not the variation time of the symbol or the second special symbol is up (step S503). When the fluctuation time is up, that is, when the fluctuation time is ended (YES in step S503), the fluctuation is stopped (step S504). If any special symbol has not changed (NO in step S502), or the change time has not ended (step S50).
If NO at 3), the changing process is terminated without stopping the change of the special symbol.

After stopping the fluctuation of the special symbol in step S504, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is “ON” (step S505). If the big hit flag is “ON”, the processing flag is updated to “3”. (Step S506). On the other hand, when the big hit flag is not “ON” (NO in step S505), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is “ON” (step S5).
07), in the case of “ON”, the processing flag is updated to “4” (step S508), and “ON”
If not, the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S509). In this way, after the processing flag is updated in any of step S506, step S508, or step S509, the changing process is ended.

In the jackpot game start process shown in FIG. 65, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “3”. If it is “3” in step S506 (YES in step S601),
If the process after step S602 is executed and it is not “3” (N in step S601)
O), the jackpot game start process is terminated. In step S602, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is operating, that is, whether or not it is in the probability variation state. If the probability variation state is present (YES), the operation of the probability variation function is temporarily stopped and the process proceeds to step S604. To do. If the state is not the probability variation state, that is, if it is the normal low probability state (NO in step S602), the process proceeds to step S604 without executing the process of step S603. Step S60
4, it is determined whether or not the short-time function is in operation, that is, whether or not the short-time game state is in effect. Migrate to On the other hand, if it is not the short-time gaming state (N in step S604)
O) The process proceeds to step S606 without executing the process in step S605.

In step S606, it is determined whether the type of jackpot is a general jackpot or a special jackpot. If the jackpot is a general jackpot (NO in step S606), the attacker device 335 is selected.
Opening conditions of the big winning opening 333 by, that is, the number of times of opening for big hit (for example, maximum 15 times), opening time per time (for example, maximum 18 seconds), and the limited number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 333 (for example, maximum per time) 10) is set (step S607). On the other hand, if the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S606), the special winning opening number (for example, twice) at the big winning opening 333 (for example, six times), the limited number of winnings (for example, six), and the opening per time Time (eg 1.8
Second) is set (step S608). Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “5” (step S609), and the big hit game start process is terminated.

On the other hand, in the small hit game start process shown in FIG. 66, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “4”. If it is “4” in step S508 (YE in step S701).
S), the processing of step S702 and step S703 is executed, and if the processing flag is not “4” (NO in step S701), the small hit game start processing is executed without executing the processing of step S702 and step S703. finish. In step S702, the condition for opening the big prize opening 333 in the case of a small hit, that is, the big prize opening 3 by the attacker device 335 is obtained.
33 small hits opening times and opening times per time are set. It should be noted that the number of times of opening in the small hit, the limited number of winnings, and the opening time are set to be the same as the conditions (step S608) set in the case of special hit. In other words, special hits and small hits,
It is set so that it cannot be visually discriminated. Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “6” (step S703), and the small hit game start process is terminated.

In the special electric utility jackpot control process shown in FIG. 67, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “5”, and if it is “5” in step S609 (Y in step S801).
ES), the processing after step S802 is executed, and when it is not “5” (step S80).
1), the special electric utility jackpot control process is terminated. In step S802, it is determined whether or not the big winning opening 333 is open. If it is open (YES), the opening time (elapsed time after opening) of the big winning opening 333 is a predetermined time set in advance. Is reached (step S803), and if it has elapsed (YES in step S803), the attacker device 33
5 is operated to close the special winning opening 333 (step S805). Even if the set opening time has not elapsed (NO in step S803), the number of game balls won in the big winning opening 333 after the big winning opening 333 is opened is set in step S607. If the limit number (for example, 10) is exceeded (YES in step S804), step S
The process shifts to 805 to close the special winning opening 333. If the opening time of the big winning opening 333 has not reached the set time (NO in step S803), and the number of winning game balls has not reached the limit number (NO in step S804), The special electric utility jackpot control process is terminated.

On the other hand, if the special winning opening 333 is not being opened in step S802 (NO),
It is determined whether or not the number of times of opening of the big winning opening 333 by the attacker device 335 has reached the number of times of opening for big hit set in step S607 or the number of times of opening for special hit set in step S608 (step S806). . If not reached (NO in step S806), the attacker device 335 is controlled to open the special winning opening 333 (step S807), and the special electric accessory big hit control process is terminated. As a result, a large amount of game balls can be awarded to the grand prize opening 333.

In step S806, when the number of times of opening the special winning opening 333 reaches the set number of times (
YES), that is, when the big hit gaming state is completed, the processing of step S808 to step S813 is executed, and the gaming state for the subsequent lottery is set. Specifically, first, the jackpot flag is set to “OFF” (step S808), and it is determined whether or not the current jackpot is a win that activates the probability variation function (step S809). That is, it is determined whether the probability variation big hit including the special hit or the normal big hit. If the winning is a probability variation jackpot (YES in step S809), the operation of the probability variation function is started and a probability variation state with a high probability is set (step S810). That is, the probability that the big hit is won in the subsequent lottery is set higher than normal. If the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S811), it is determined whether or not the probability variation function or the short-time function is in operation (step S814). If it is not a special hit, that is, if it is a general probability fluctuation big hit (NO in step S810), or if the special hit is won when the probability fluctuation function or the time reduction function is already activated, The operation is started (step S812), and then the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S813). In other words, the first special symbol or the second special symbol that fluctuates in the first special symbol indicator 390a or the second special symbol indicator 390b is shortened, and the movable piece 331 is opened to the second start port 332 while the fluctuation time is shortened. Increase the ease of winning a prize. On the other hand, if the probability variation function and the time reduction function are not in operation, that is, if neither the probability variation state nor the time reduction gaming state has occurred and the special win is won (NO in step S814), the time reduction function is activated. The process proceeds to step S813 without being operated.

On the other hand, if it is not a win that activates the probability variation function in step S809, that is, if it is a normal big hit (NO), the operation of the time reduction function is started (step S815), and the specified number of operations in the time reduction function is set. (Step S816) Then, it transfers to step S813. That is, the time-shortening function is operated until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol due to the lottery reaches a predetermined number (specified number).

68, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “6”. If the processing flag is “6” in step S703 (Y in step S901).
ES), the processing after step S902 is executed, and if it is not “6” (step S90)
1), the special electric accessory small hit control process is terminated. In step S902, it is determined whether or not the number of game balls won for the big winning opening 333 has reached a preset maximum number of winnings (step S902). If the maximum number of winnings has not been reached yet (NO) ), Grand Prize 33
It is determined whether or not 3 is open (step S903). If it is determined in step S903 that the big prize opening 333 is being opened (YES), the opening time (elapsed time after opening) of the big prize opening 333 reaches a predetermined time set in advance. Whether or not (step S904), and if it has elapsed (YES in step S904), the attacker device 3
35 is operated to close the special winning opening 333 (step S905). After that, the grand prize opening 3
It is determined whether or not the number of times of opening 33 has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, twice) (step S906), and when that number is reached (YES), the processing flag is updated to “0”. (Step S907), the special electric accessory small hit control process is terminated. If the opening time of the special winning opening 333 has not reached the predetermined time in step S904 (NO), or if the number of opening has not reached the predetermined number in step S906 (NO), step S90
The special electric accessory small hit control process is terminated without executing the process 7. In step S903, if the big prize opening 333 is not open (NO), the big prize opening 333 is opened, and a game ball can be won (step S908). In step S902, if the number of game balls won for the big prize opening 333 reaches the preset maximum number of prizes (YES), it is determined whether or not the big prize opening 333 is open (step). S909) If it is open (YES), the special prize opening 333 is closed (step S910), and step S9.
Move to 07. On the other hand, when the special winning opening 333 is not open (NO in step S909), the process proceeds to step S907 without executing the process of step S910. In step S907, the processing flag is updated to “0”.

Next, processing executed by the integrated CPU 834 mounted on the sub integrated substrate 830 will be described. FIG. 69 is a flowchart showing an example of the sub-main process, and FIG.
It is a flowchart which shows an example of 6 ms regular process.

As shown in FIG. 69, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the integrated CPU 834 performs an initial setting process (step S1001). In this initial setting process, the sub-integrated board 8
Processing for clearing the integrated RAM 836 mounted in the memory 30 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. Initial setting process (
When step S1001) is completed, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T has been set is started (step S1002).

In this embodiment, the integrated CPU 834 generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady process. In the 2 ms steady process, a process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 ms elapses. A process of setting the flag T and resetting (setting to 0) the 16 ms progress monitoring counter is executed. In this way, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 ms in the 2 ms steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. Step S1002
When the 16 ms elapsed flag is set (16 ms elapsed flag T is “1”),
After resetting the 16 ms elapsed flag (step S1003), a 16 ms steady process is performed (step S1004).

In the 16 ms steady process, a process for controlling the effect display device 217, the frame lamp, the game board lamp, the speaker and the like based on the effect command received from the main control board 94 is executed. 1
When the 6 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S1002, and every time the 16 ms elapse flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms, the above-described steps S1003 to S100 are performed.
Repeat step 4. On the other hand, if the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S1002 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

FIG. 70 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the sub-integrated CPU 834 executes the processes of steps S1100 to S1600. In the command analysis process in step S1100, the effect command received from the main control board 94 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S1200, a control process related to the effect display device 217 is executed based on the variable display pattern command. Specifically, setting of a notice effect, determination of a stop symbol of a decorative symbol, and the like are performed.

In the sound control process in step S1300, a sound effect (for example, B
Control processing related to the speaker for generating (GM) is executed. Step S1400
In the lamp control process, control processes related to the game board lamp and the frame lamp are executed. In the information output process in step S1500, a lamp effect command is transmitted to the illumination control board 831 and a display command is transmitted to the illumination control board 832. In the random number update process of step S1600, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S1200) is executed.

In addition, the process of step S1100 to step S1600 in the 16 ms steady process is 1
Finish within 6ms. Even if it takes 16 ms or more from the start of the 16 ms steady processing to the end of the 16 ms steady processing, the 16 ms steady processing is started from the beginning immediately after the 16 ms has elapsed since the start of the 16 ms steady processing (step S1100 described later). Do not execute) That is, when 16 ms elapses during execution of the 16 ms steady process, only the 16 ms elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S1002 that the 16 ms elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 ms steady process, 16 ms is set.
Start steady processing.

In this embodiment, the random number update process (step S1600) is performed in a 16 ms steady process.
) Is executed to update various random numbers, but the timing (timing) for updating the various random numbers is not limited to this. For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of the loop process in the sub-main process and the 16 ms steady process.

FIG. 71 is a flowchart illustrating an example of command analysis processing (step S1100). In the command analysis process, the integrated CPU 834 first determines whether or not an effect command has been received from the main control board 94 (step S1101). In this embodiment, when an effect command is received from the main control board 94, other processes such as a 16 ms steady process are interrupted to generate a command reception interrupt process, and the received command is mounted on the sub-integrated board 830. Are stored in the received command storage area in the integrated RAM 836. The reception command storage area is provided with a plurality of areas corresponding to the reception order of the production commands, and in the command reception interrupt process, the reception command storage areas are stored in the respective areas corresponding to the reception order of the production commands. In step S1101, the contents of the received command storage area are confirmed, and if the effect command is stored, the effect command in the reception order of the reception command storage area is read (step S1102).

Then, it is determined whether the read effect command is a variable display pattern command (step S1103). If the read effect command is a variable display pattern command (YES in step S1103), a variable display pattern reception flag is set. Then, it is stored in the variable display pattern storage area in the integrated RAM 836 mounted on the sub-integrated board 830 (step S1104).

On the other hand, if the read effect command is not a variable display pattern command (step S1)
If NO in 103, it is determined whether or not the read effect command is a probability change jackpot command (step S1105), and if the read effect command is a probability change jackpot command (step S1105).
If YES in 1105), the probability variation big hit flag is set (step S1106). Also,
If the read production command is not a probable big hit command (NO in step S1105)
), A flag corresponding to the received effect command is set (step S1107).

FIG. 72 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process (step S1200).
In the effect control process, the integrated CPU 834 performs one of steps S1210 to S1290 with reference to the value of the process selection flag indicating the progress state of the game.

Decorative symbol variation start process (step S121) executed when the process selection flag is “0”
In 0), if a variable display pattern command is received, a setting for starting the variable display of decorative symbols is performed. Specifically, the decorative symbol stop symbol is determined according to the variable display pattern command and the probability variation jackpot command, and a notice effect is set.

Decorative symbol variation process executed when the process selection flag is “1” (step S1220)
Then, when a change stop command is received, a display command is transmitted to the electrical decoration control board 832 to perform control for stopping the change display of the decorative symbol.

In the jackpot display process (step S1290) executed when the process selection flag is “2”, an indication indicating the start of the jackpot gaming state is displayed on the effect display device 217 in accordance with the jackpot start command transmitted from the main control board 94. Control is performed to display during the big hit gaming state (for example, round display).

FIG. 73 is a flowchart showing an example of the decorative symbol variation start process (step S1210). In the decorative symbol variation start process, the integrated CPU 834 first determines whether or not the variation display pattern reception flag is set (step S1221). The variation display pattern reception flag is a flag that is set in step S1104 of the command analysis process (step S1100) described above and indicates that a variation display pattern command has been received from the main control board 94. If the variable display pattern reception flag is not set in step S1221, (
NO), it is determined that the variable display pattern command has not been received, and the process is terminated.

On the other hand, if the variable display pattern reception flag is set (Y in step S1221)
ES), the variable display pattern reception flag is reset (step S1222), and it is determined whether the variable display pattern based on the received variable display pattern command is a variable display pattern that generates a big hit (a hit pattern) (step S1223a). ).

If the variable display pattern is not a winning pattern (NO in step S1223a), a stop symbol for the off symbol is determined (step S1224). If the variation display pattern is a hit pattern (YES in step S1223a), it is determined whether the probability variation big hit flag is set (step S1223b), and if the probability variation big hit flag is set (YES).
) Determines the stop symbol of the probability variation jackpot symbol (step S1225), and if the probability variation jackpot flag is not set (NO in step S1223b), determines the stop symbol of the non-probability variation jackpot symbol (step S1226). In addition, the probability variation jackpot flag is reset when the jackpot gaming state is started in the jackpot display process (step S1230). Note that the time when the probability variation big hit flag is reset is not limited to this. For example, the decorative symbol variation process (step S
1220), when the variation display of the decorative symbol is stopped, specifically, it may be reset when the variation stop command is received, or the jackpot display process (step S1290).
It may be reset when the big hit gaming state is ended.

In this embodiment, the first decorative symbol corresponding 1: 1 with the first special symbol, the second decorative symbol corresponding 1: 1 with the second special symbol, the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol. A common decorative symbol sequence (hereinafter referred to as “common decorative symbol sequence”) associated with both symbols and corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol is displayed. The first decorative design and the second decorative design are
It is composed of combinations of figures such as round, cross, and sakaku. Presets include combinations that are probable big hit symbols, combinations that are not probable big hits (usually big hits), combinations that are small hits, and combinations that are out of place. ing. In other words, if the variable display pattern is a winning pattern, the combination symbol of the combination set as the probable big hit symbol of the first decorative symbol or the combination set as the non-probable big hit symbol is stopped. Determine as a symbol.

On the other hand, the common decorative symbol sequence is composed of a plurality of symbol sequences having numbers (for example, three columns). If the variable display pattern is a winning pattern, the symbol combination of any one of the same odd symbol combinations is probable. The symbols are determined as symbols, and any combination of the same even symbols is determined as a non-probable variation big hit symbol. Further, when determining the stop symbol of the off symbol in step S1224, it is determined whether it is a variable display pattern with a reach mode, and if it is a variable display pattern with a reach mode, the left, middle and right common decorative symbols are determined. The left and right common decorative design sequences are the same design, and the middle decorative design sequence is determined to be a stop design that is different from the left and right decorative design sequences. On the other hand, in the case of a variable display pattern that does not involve a reach mode, the stop symbol is determined so that each of the left, middle, and right common decorative symbol sequences becomes a different symbol.

Next, the integrated CPU 834 executes a notice selection process for determining whether or not to execute a notice effect based on the notice determination random number (step S1227), and then enables a background selection process related to the development effect (step S1228). ). Details of this process will be described later. Thereafter, display commands corresponding to the variable display pattern, the advance notice pattern stored in the advance notice type storage area, and the stop symbol of the common decorative design sequence determined in steps S1224, S1225, and S1226 are set (step S1229). The processing selection flag is set to “1”.
And the process ends (step S1230). The display command set in step S1229 is transmitted to the illumination control board 832 in the information output process (step S1500), and the display CPU 851 mounted on the illumination control board 832 receives the display command. Based on this, the effect display device 217 starts execution of variable display of decorative symbols.
When the notice pattern stored in the notice type storage area is read in step S1229, the contents of the notice type storage area are cleared after reading the notice pattern. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the previous notice effect from being erroneously executed in the next variation display of decorative symbols.

This occurs when the lottery result of a or the second win / fail decision means 930b is the first result. At this time, the specific profit is given by the specific profit granting means 981, and the probability that the specific profit will be given in the subsequent lottery is set higher than the normal time by the high probability state setting means 983. That is, a probability variation state with a high probability is assumed. In this example, as shown in FIG. 86 (a), in the jackpot determination table at high probability, it is determined to generate a jackpot gaming state among 631 jackpot determination random numbers from 0 to 630. 20 jackpot determination values are set, and the jackpot probability, which is the probability of a jackpot, is 20/631. On the other hand, in the normal big hit determination table, two big hit determination values are set out of 631 big hit determination random numbers from 0 to 630, and the big hit probability is 2/631. Further, in the first advantageous gaming state, the first temporary short state setting means 984 sets the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol that varies on the first special symbol display 390a or the second special symbol display 390b. While shortening and increasing the frequency with which the movable piece 331 is opened and closed (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery), the ease of winning a prize at the second start port 332 is increased more than usual. In other words, the short-time gaming state is set.

The second advantageous gaming state generated by the second advantageous gaming state control means 933b (FIG. 86 (b)
(Corresponding to “second big hit”) is a so-called “ordinary big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the first win / fail decision means 930a or the second win / fail decision means 930b is the second result. At this time, the specific profit is given by the specific profit granting means 981 in the same way as in the first advantageous gaming state, but in this case, the probability that the specific profit will be given in the subsequent lottery Remains a low probability. That is, the probability fluctuation state is not entered, and the normal probability is maintained. However,
In this second advantageous gaming state, after giving a specific profit, the second short time state setting means 985 until the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed to a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times).
The time-short game state is entered, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is shortened, and the frequency at which the movable piece 331 is opened and closed (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery)
By increasing the height of the game ball to improve the holding time.

The third advantageous gaming state generated by the third advantageous gaming state control means 933c (FIG. 86B)
(Corresponding to “third big hit”) is a so-called “special big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the first win / fail decision means 930a or the second win / fail decision means 930b is the third result. In this area,
First, a predetermined profit is given to the player by a predetermined profit giving means 982 (a profit having a lower advantage than a specific profit). For the subsequent lottery, the probability that a specific profit is given is increased. That is, as in the first advantageous gaming state, the probability variation state is set. However, the short-time gaming state is generated only when the gaming state before the advantageous gaming state is generated satisfies a predetermined condition. In other words, when the third advantageous gaming state occurs when the gaming state is neither the probability variation state nor the short-time gaming state (in other words, the normal gaming state), the short-time gaming state is not generated. The probability variation state. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the probability variation state or the short-time gaming state and the third advantageous gaming state occurs, the short-time generation unit 989 activates the first temporary short state setting unit 984,
A short-time gaming state is generated.

The fourth advantageous gaming state generated by the fourth advantageous gaming state control means 933d (FIG. 86 (a))
(Corresponding to “small hit”) occurs when the lottery result of the first success / failure determination means 930a or the second success / failure determination means 930b is the fourth result. At this time, as in the third advantageous gaming state, a predetermined profit is given to the player by the predetermined profit giving means 982. However, for the subsequent lottery, neither a probability fluctuation state nor a short-time gaming state is newly generated. In other words, the gaming state does not change before and after winning, and the level of profit to the player is extremely low compared to other advantageous gaming states. Thus, in this example, such an unattractive hit (that is, a hit that does not cause an advantageous gaming state) is referred to as “small hit” in order to distinguish it from other hits (big hit). As shown in FIG. 86 (a), in this example, it is decided to generate a small hit gaming state among 631 small hit determination random numbers (using a big hit determination random number) from 0 to 630. Eight small hit determination values are set, and the probability of winning a small hit, that is, the probability of occurrence of the fourth advantageous gaming state is 8/631.

A fifth advantageous game state generated by the fifth advantageous game state control means 933e (FIG. 86B)
(Corresponding to “fourth big hit”) of the first win / fail decision means 930a or the second win / fail decision means 930
Occurs when the lottery result of b is the fifth result. At this time, giving a predetermined profit to the player by the predetermined profit granting means 982 and giving a predetermined profit by the high probability state setting means 983 are the same as in the third advantageous gaming state. In the advantageous gaming state, the short-time gaming state is generated by the first temporary short state setting means 984 regardless of the gaming state.

In this example, the winning ratio of each jackpot is distributed as shown in FIG. 86 (b). Specifically, the first big hit generated by the first advantageous gaming state control means 933a, that is, the probability fluctuation big hit to which both the probability fluctuation state and the short-time gaming state are given is set to 35% of the whole big hit, The second big hit generated by the advantageous gaming state control means 933b, that is, the normal big hit in which the short-time gaming state is given a certain number of times without being given the probability variation state is set to 35%. Further, the third big hit generated by the third advantageous gaming state control means 933c, that is, the probability variation state and the special big hit to which the conditional short time gaming state is given is set to 27%, and the fifth advantageous gaming state control means 933e. Is set to 3%, that is, the special jackpot to which both the probability variation state and the short-time gaming state are given. In other words, the first big hit (probability variation big hit) and the second big hit (normal big hit) are generated at the same rate, and the third big hit (special big hit) is set at a slightly lower rate than them. . Further, the ratio of occurrence of the fourth big hit is set to about 1/9 of the third big hit, so that it occurs very rarely.

By the way, as described above, the probability of occurrence of a big hit by the fourth advantageous gaming state control means 933d is set to 8/631, while the probability of occurrence of a big hit at normal time is set to 2/631. The ratio between the probability of occurrence of a small hit and the probability of occurrence of a third big hit or a fourth big hit is 1: 0.075. Therefore, although these three types of hits are provided as predetermined profits given by the predetermined profit granting means 982, most of them are small hits, and the probability that the probability fluctuation state occurs is about 7%. Become. In other words, “small hits” that do not generate a probability variation state and are less attractive as hits frequently occur. For this reason, if these hits become distinct and recognizable, there is a concern that frustration will often be caused by the frequent occurrence of “small hits” that are less advantageous, and it is not a big hit. There is a risk that the willingness to play may be impaired by dissatisfaction with the game.

Therefore, in this example, when the gaming state is not a probability variation state and is not a short-time gaming state (
That is, when the “third advantageous gaming state” occurs in the normal state), the probability variation state is established without generating the short-time gaming state. According to this, the “third advantageous gaming state (big hit)” is “fourth fourth” without any difference in the open state of the second start port 332, that is, the operating state of the movable piece 331 in any gaming state. Compared with “advantageous game state (small hit)”, it becomes impossible to visually distinguish and recognize. In other words, even if a “small hit” occurs, it is assumed that “it may be a third advantageous gaming state (big hit)”, that is, “it may have entered a probability variation state”. It is possible to increase the player's expectation. Therefore, the willingness to play is increased, and the end of the game due to dissatisfaction can be suppressed as much as possible.

In the fifth advantageous gaming state, the short-time gaming state is generated regardless of the gaming state. That is, a big hit state that can be clearly distinguished from a “small hit” that does not become a short-time gaming state is generated. However, the fifth advantageous gaming state occurs less frequently than the third advantageous gaming state, and even if it is recognized that the fifth advantageous gaming state is not the fifth advantageous gaming state, the possibility of being the third advantageous gaming state remains. Therefore, the willingness to play is not reduced. On the contrary, when the 5th advantageous gaming state occurs, it is suggested that the state of probability change has occurred due to the occurrence of the short-time gaming state, which greatly increases the feeling of expectation for the lottery and raises the player's mood. Is possible.

By the way, in the third advantageous gaming state, after giving a predetermined profit, it is in a probability variation state without generating a short-time gaming state, but if such control is executed regardless of the gaming state, there is a problem. May occur. For example, if the game state is already in the short-time game state and the above control is executed as it is, the short-time game state will end in the middle, giving unnaturalness, and becoming a disadvantageous game state for the player There is a risk of recognition.
In addition, when a short-time gaming state has occurred without entering a probability fluctuation state, such as after a specific profit has been granted by the “second advantageous gaming state”, the “third advantageous gaming state” has been reached. In this case, it is possible to easily recognize that the “short advantage game state” (ie, the “fourth advantageous game state”) is not reached because the short-time game state ends in the middle. . In other words, “third advantageous gaming state” and “fourth advantageous gaming state” are clearly distinguished,
It becomes impossible to suppress a decrease in expectation due to the “fourth advantageous game state”.

Therefore, in this example, the transition of the gaming state in the third advantageous gaming state is individually set corresponding to the gaming state before the occurrence. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 86 (c), when neither the probability variation state nor the short-time gaming state has occurred, the probability variation state is generated without generating the short-time gaming state as described above. However, in other combinations, that is, when at least one of the short-time gaming state and the probability variation state has already occurred, the short-time gaming state is generated (or continued) and the probability variation A state is generated (or continued).

That is, when the “third advantageous game state” occurs in the short-time game state, the probability variation state is generated without stopping the short-game state at that time. That is, when the short-time gaming state has already occurred, a part of the functions in the third advantageous gaming state is changed and given to the player. According to this, it is possible to prevent the short-time gaming state from suddenly ending, to suppress distrust to the gaming machine, and to make a visual distinction between the “third advantageous gaming state” and the “fourth advantageous gaming state”. It can be made clear.

In addition, even if the gaming state is not the short-time gaming state when the “third advantageous gaming state” is entered, if the probability-changing state is already maintained, the short-time gaming is maintained while maintaining the probability varying state. A state is generated. In other words, in the case where the probability variation state has been caused by the previous “third advantageous gaming state”, the “first advantageous gaming state” or the “second advantageous gaming state” is again given a “ In the case of “3rd advantageous game state”, the short-time game state is given, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed by the first special symbol display 390a or the second special symbol display 390b. And the second starting port 3
The ease of winning a prize to 32 is increased more than usual. As a result, it becomes possible to give a profit more than a predetermined profit (same profit as the fourth advantageous gaming state) as a profit by the “third advantageous gaming state” again, and further increase the expectation for the big hit. Can do. In this case, since the ease of winning a prize at the second start port 332 increases, it can be distinguished from the “fourth advantageous gaming state”, but the “third advantageous gaming state” is twice. Since the control is limited to the case where it occurs continuously, it does not affect the decrease in expectation due to the “fourth advantageous gaming state”. This is because, in the previous time and the current time, the “fourth advantageous game state”, when the previous time was the “fourth advantageous game state”, but when this time became the “third advantageous game state” for the first time, This is because the time reduction state does not occur in any of the three advantageous game states and the current “fourth advantageous game state”.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 83, the main control board 94 has a normal lot determination random number extracting means 924 as a configuration related to the normal lottery (lottery for increasing the ease of winning a prize at the second start port 332). A normal hit determination table 926 and a normal hit determination unit 925 are provided. Random number extracting means 924 for determining a normal hit is used for determining a normal hit from a random counter (random number generating means) when a ball entering a passing gate (not shown) is detected by the ball state detecting means 990 (gate sensor). A random number is extracted. The normal hit determination table 926 is divided into a high probability table and a normal probability table. As shown in FIG. 87A, the normal hit determination table 926 has a high probability of 0 to 99. Among the 100 normal hit determination random numbers, five determination values for normal hit are set, and the probability of normal hit is 5/10.
0. On the other hand, in the normal normal hit determination table, out of 100 normal hit determination random numbers from 0 to 99, 99 normal hit determination values are set, and the probability of normal hit is 99/100. ing. In the normal lottery at high probability, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 1.136 seconds, the opening time of the movable piece 331 by the start port solenoid 352 is 1654 ms, the number of times of opening is 3, and the interval between opening is It is set to 856 ms.
On the other hand, in the normal lottery at the normal time, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 14.7 seconds on average, the opening time of the movable piece 331 is 1650 ms, the number of opening times is 2, and the interval between opening is 2600 m.
s.

Further, when the normal hit determination random number extraction unit 924 extracts the normal hit determination random number, the normal hit determination unit 925 extracts the random number and the normal hit determination value stored in the normal hit determination table 926. Are determined to be normal hits if they match. At this time, the game state is determined by the game state determination means 923, that is, a specific game state, that is, a game state (probability variation state) after a probability change big hit or a game state (time saving game) in a certain period after a big hit (for example, normal big hit). In the case of a specific gaming state, a table with a high probability is selected, and when it is not a specific gaming state, a normal table is selected.

When the normal lottery determination means 925 determines whether or not the normal lottery is successful, the normal symbol is displayed on the main control board 94 in the normal symbol display unit 928 and the change time (about 14).
Normal symbol variation control means 927 is provided for displaying the result of success / failure after a lapse of seconds or about 1 second). Further, when the normal hit determination unit 925 determines that the normal hit is achieved, the normal control symbol 929 stops the fluctuation of the normal symbol and then releases the movable piece 331 so that the game ball can easily win the second start port 332. Is provided.

Next, a configuration relating to effects in the peripheral board 811 including the sub-integrated board 830 will be described with reference to FIG. In the effect image displayed on the effect display device 217 of this example, a plurality of images are displayed in stages according to a predetermined order while the decorative symbol is variably displayed with periodicity and the decorative symbol is changing (before the reach state). This includes step effects that can be displayed in an expanded manner, and development effects that can be displayed in a step-by-step manner after the third advantageous game state or the fourth advantageous game state occurs. Hereinafter, the decorative design, the step effect, and the development effect will be described in detail.

(About decorative designs)
In this example, as the decorative symbols displayed on the effect display device 217, as shown in the example of the effect in FIG. 88, a first decorative symbol 991, a second decorative symbol 992, and a common decorative symbol sequence 993 are provided. Yes. The first decorative symbol 991 corresponds to the first special symbol indicator 390a, and the second decorative symbol 9
Reference numeral 92 corresponds to the second special symbol display 390b, which is arranged in the lower right of the display screen. The first decorative symbol 901 and the second decorative symbol 902 are composed of combinations of figures such as circles and triangles. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol starts to change, the corresponding decorative symbol is displayed. It fluctuates and stops at the stop symbol based on the lottery result almost simultaneously with the special symbol change stop.

On the other hand, the common decorative design row 993 is displayed large over the entire display screen. The common decorative symbol row 993 is a symbol row common to both the first decorative symbol 991 and the second decorative symbol 992, and during the fluctuation of the first decorative symbol 991, the fluctuation of the first special symbol (that is, the first big hit lottery drawing). ), And during the change of the second decorative symbol 992, the effect corresponds to the change of the second special symbol (that is, the second big hit lottery). In the common decorative design row 993, for example, three decorative design rows, left, middle, and right, are set, and are variably displayed for each decorative design row. A series of decorative symbols is composed of a main decorative symbol with numbers "0" to "9" and a sub-decorative symbol consisting of pictures. The main decorative symbols are displayed in ascending or descending numerical order. In addition, a sub-decoration pattern is arranged between the main decoration symbols to form a series of decoration symbol sequences. The main decorative design and the secondary decorative design are displayed in a variable manner from top to bottom with periodicity, and the display is changed in the order of left decorative design sequence → right decorative design sequence → middle decorative design sequence. Stop,
At the time of the stop, the three decorative symbols are combinations of the jackpot decorative symbols (for example, “7”, “7”, “7”
), A special game video is displayed as a big hit. In particular, in the stage before the last stop symbol sequence (medium decorative symbol sequence) stopped among the three decorative symbol sequences,
If two decorative symbols (left decorative symbol and right decorative symbol) that have already stopped on the active line are the same symbol, the reach state is established with these decorative symbols as reach formation symbols. In addition, the main decorative symbol is composed of a plurality of normal symbols indicating “normal jackpot” and a plurality of probability variable symbols indicating “probable big hit”, and when a combination of jackpots is established by the normal symbol,
When a “normal jackpot” occurs and a combination of jackpots is established with a probability variation symbol, a “probability jackpot” is generated.

88, on the lower side of the display screen, the first state display means 995a and the second state display means 995b indicating the holding state in the two lotteries are displayed on the display area deriving means 944 (FIG. 84). In addition, a changing display section 998 is provided between the first state display means 995a and the second state display means 995b to indicate which lottery is used for the special symbol that is currently changing. On the left side of the display means 995a, there is provided a point display section 999 for displaying the total of effect points (hereinafter simply referred to as “points”) given in a specific effect. As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 88 (b), the first state display means 995a and the second state display means 995b are special symbol random number storage means 4 respectively.
40, four first hold state display areas 996a to 996d and four second hold state display areas 997a to 997d, which are arranged in descending order from the inside to the outside. Yes. In these hold state display areas, graphics corresponding to each special symbol are displayed in accordance with the number of starting memories (holding number). That is, in this example, the number of starting memories in the first special symbol (first big hit lottery) is “3”, and the number of starting memories in the second special symbol (second big hit lottery) is “2”. ing. In addition, symbols that can be displayed in each hold state display area are basically displayed in a lit state, but symbols corresponding to special symbols that change in the next lottery are displayed in a blinking state. . For this reason, the player can recognize which lottery means the special symbol that is currently changing corresponds to the symbol displayed on the changing display unit 998, and blinking. Recognizing the type of the next lottery by visually checking which of the first hold state display area 996a or the second hold state display area 997a the displayed symbol is displayed in become able to. In the example of production shown in FIG. 88 (b), a numerical value indicating the order of the lottery performed in order is displayed on the upper stage, and a symbol indicating the type of the lottery is displayed on the lower stage. In this example, the shapes of the symbols “cans” are substantially the same, and the colors of the symbols are different from each other.

(About step production)
In the step effect, the period from the first step to the last step is divided in time series, and different images (moving images) are defined for each step. A plurality of effect patterns are set so that the number of steps developed and displayed in stages is different from each other. In other words, a plurality of effect patterns having different numbers of steps are stored in the effect pattern storage means (not shown) as step effects. For example, when an effect pattern with one step is selected, the first step When only the effect image is displayed and an effect pattern having four steps is selected, the images in the first step to the fourth step can be developed and displayed step by step. In addition, this step effect can be derived as a jackpot notice display within a predetermined period from the start of fluctuation of the common decorative symbol sequence 993 in the effect display device 217 to the reach state. The appearance rate is distributed so that the greater the number of steps developed and displayed, the higher the reliability of the jackpot. The jackpot reliability is generated depending on the selection ratio when there are a plurality of effects having different probabilities of being selected as effects at the time of losing. For example, the performance with a lower selection rate at the time of losing becomes higher in reliability for the big hit and the expected value becomes higher.

(About development effects)
The development effect will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 89 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of each effect included in a series of development effects, and FIG. 90 is a table showing the relationship between the current situation, the type of jackpot, and the background to be shifted accordingly, FIG. 91 is a table showing the relationship between the current situation and the background to be shifted when a small hit occurs, FIGS. 92 to 98 are tables used in the development effect, and FIGS. 99 to 102 are related to the development effect. It is a block diagram which shows a functional structure, and FIG. 103 thru | or 110 is an image which shows an example of an effect.

The development effect is a series that can appear after a predetermined profit is given, particularly in the third advantageous gaming state (special big hit that becomes a probability fluctuation state) or the fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit that does not become a probability fluctuation state). This is the production. In this example, as shown in FIG. 89, it is possible to develop in stages between a “normal background effect” 1001 derived in a normal game state and a “big hit state effect” 1006 derived during a big hit game. Four productions, that is, "place slot production" 1
002, “Katakata Night Chance Production” 1003, “Talking Time Production” 1004
, And “Super Chat Time Production” 1005 and “Tokorosan Megaten Mode Production” 1007 that can be shifted from these productions. In addition, this development effect is not developed and displayed step by step in one lottery like the step effect described above, but can be developed in order over a plurality of lotteries (variation display). is there. Here, “normal background effect” 100
1 corresponds to the first normal state effect of the present invention, “place slot effect” 1002 corresponds to the second normal state effect of the present invention, and “katakata night chance effect” 1003 corresponds to the high probability expectation small effect of the present invention. The “talking time effect” 1004 corresponds to the high probability expected effect of the present invention, and the “super chat time effect” 1005 corresponds to the high probability state effect of the present invention. Corresponds to a high-probability short-time effect.

About “Normal Background Effect” (First Normal State Effect) This effect is an effect performed in the normal game state before the advantageous game state occurs.
As a specific effect example, as shown in FIGS. 103 and 104, an effect with the content that the character C is playing the guitar in a predetermined room (for example, a living room) is performed. In addition, the decorative symbol row 993 is variably displayed together with this effect, and on the lower side of the effect, a first hold display portion 995a indicating a hold state corresponding to the first special symbol and a hold corresponding to the second special symbol are displayed. A second hold display unit 995b indicating the state, a lottery state display unit 998 indicating which special symbol the currently selected lottery corresponds to, and a point display indicating the total number of points generated in this effect Part 999 is displayed. Detailed production contents will be described later.

About the “place slot effect” (second normal state effect) This effect is generated when the third advantageous game state, the fourth advantageous game state, or the fifth advantageous game state occurs while the “normal background effect” 1001 is derived. It is a production that appears. As a specific effect example, as shown in FIGS. 105 and 106, the character C moves from a predetermined room displayed as a background in the “normal background effect” 1001 to a specific room (slot room H). The effect of the content is performed, and then the character C presses the button B of the slot S and determines the points acquired and the transition destination using the output display of the slot S.

About “Katakata Night Chance Production” (High Probability Expectation Small Production) This production is an production showing that there is a possibility that the probability fluctuation state is hidden, and the transition destination determined in “place slot production” 1002 This is an effect that appears when “Katakata Night Chance” becomes. As a specific production example, as shown in FIG. 107 and FIG. 108, the production is performed such that the background is night and the point card P displaying the points falls from above the room. Then, when the total of points reaches 100 points, the transition to the next production “Talking time production” 1004 is confirmed. If a “war place card” that is different from the normal point card P falls before the total of points reaches 100 points, the “normal background effect” 1001 is returned from the “katakata night chance effect” 1003. At the same time, all or a part of the accumulated points are cleared by the point erasing means 1103. In this effect, prior to the point card P dropping, the left movable decorative body 235 and the right movable decorative body 234 are controlled so as to move in a rattling manner, and these movable decorative bodies 234 and 235 and the effect image The realism of the production is enhanced through collaboration. Also, at the bottom of this effect screen, there is provided a point display part PT for displaying the accumulated points and a hold state display part H indicating the hold state of each lottery corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol. It has been. A total of 100 points in this effect corresponds to the first condition of the present invention.

About “Talking Time Production” (High Probability Expectation Production) This production is a production showing that there is a high probability that a probability variation state has occurred, and the accumulated points in “Katakata Night Chance Production” 1003 This is an effect that can appear when the total reaches 100 points (that is, when the first condition is satisfied).
It may appear when the transition destination determined in “place slot effect” 1002 becomes “talking time”. As a specific effect example, as shown in FIG. 109, the left movable decorative body 235 and the right movable decorative body 235 are rotated and suspended, and the first movable decorative body 430 and the second movable decorative body are placed. The bodies 432 (corresponding to the movable decorative body of the present invention) operate to move away from each other and approach each other. That is, the state of the mouth that is talking is created by the pair of movable decorative bodies 430 and 432. In addition, a dialogue (for example, “I am fine today” or “Ye weather”) is displayed on the effect display device 217 so as to be positioned between them, and the dialogue is also output by voice. It is like that. In addition, the dialogue changes based on the progress of the game, and the background of the image gradually changes from the morning landscape to the night landscape. Note that the more the same dialogue continues and the slower the scenery changes, the higher the expectation for “super chatting time production” 1005 increases. In addition, this effect can subsequently appear until the special symbol changes 30 times, and when a predetermined profit is given by the occurrence of the third advantageous gaming state (a big hit that becomes a probability changing state) Only then, the process proceeds to the next “super chat time production” 1005. In other words, despite the occurrence of the third advantageous gaming state, the probability variation state has occurred.
Even if a lottery is performed 30 times or more after the appearance of “Talking time effect”, the process proceeds to “Super chatting time effect” 1005 only when a specific profit is not given by the first advantageous game state or the second advantageous game state. Will be. When a predetermined profit is given due to the occurrence of the fourth advantageous gaming state, the “normal background effect” 1001 is returned before the number of lotteries reaches 30 after the “talking time effect” appears. It will be. Here, the fact that the number of lotteries reaches 30 corresponds to the second condition of the present invention.

About “Super Talking Time Effect” (High Probability State Effect) This effect is an effect indicating that a probability variation state has occurred by the third advantageous game state control means 933c, and is determined according to the third advantageous game state. This is an effect that appears when a profit is given and the “Talking Time Effect” 1004 effect is repeated 30 times, that is, when the second condition is satisfied. In other words, the production so far suggests that there is a possibility that the probability variation state is latent, or that the probability is high, but this production has confirmed that the probability variation state is latent. It suggests. When this effect appears, this effect is repeated until the first big hit or the second big hit occurs, that is, until a specific profit is given by the first advantageous gaming state or the second advantageous gaming state. It is.
This effect is similar to the “Talking time effect” 1004, and it is added that the background appears in lightning (lightning).

About “Tokoro-san mega heaven mode production” (high probability short-time production) This production can be produced from any of the above productions 1002 to 1005,
It is an effect that appears only when the probability variation state and the short-time gaming state occur. 86 (c
As shown in (3), even if the third advantageous gaming state occurs, if the previous gaming state is a short-time gaming state or a probability variation state, a probability variation state with a short-time gaming state is obtained. As described above, in such a case, “Tokorosan Megaten Mode Production” 100
7 to clearly recognize that the state is in a probability fluctuation state. In other words, when a short-time gaming state is entered after a predetermined profit has been granted, it becomes possible to recognize that a probability variation state has occurred due to the third advantageous gaming state. A special production that deviates has appeared, and the expectation for the lottery is greatly increased. In addition,
Even when the fifth advantageous gaming state (fourth big hit) occurs, the short-time gaming state occurs together with the probability variation state, so that this effect appears after giving a predetermined profit to the player. In addition, as a specific effect example, as shown in FIG. 110, the first movable decorative body 430 and the second movable decorative body 432 are respectively operated and cooperated with the decorative pattern displayed on the effect display device 217. The effect of the content that the decorative design is shown to be broken is performed. At this time, red light is emitted from the second movable decorative body 432, and a sound that causes a tension to the player is output, thereby increasing the player's expectation.

90 and 91 summarize the state transition in the development effect. These tables show the correspondence between the current state of play (ie, the background before the hit occurs) and the state of play (background) after each hit occurs. The background after a specific profit is given by the first advantageous gaming state (probability variation jackpot), that is, the background when the probability variation state and the short-time gaming state occur. This is a background after a specific profit is given by an advantageous gaming state (usually a big hit), that is, a background when a short-time gaming state with a limited number of times occurs. In addition, the “probability change latency” is a state in which the probability variation state is internally caused by the occurrence of the third advantageous gaming state, but the player cannot determine that the probability variation state is present (appears on the surface). No state). Also,"
`` Gase '' can be assumed to be a probability fluctuation state, but in reality,
It shows a state of “small hit” and no probability variation state has occurred. As can be seen from FIG. 90, when the “normal background effect” is displayed, the third advantageous gaming state (third big hit)
Occurs, it shifts to either “Katakata Night Chance Production” or “Talking Time Production” via “Slot Production”, and is not in the probability fluctuation state (
When the “Katakata Night Chance Production” is displayed in the “Gasse” state, if the third advantageous gaming state occurs, the process shifts to “Talking Time Production”. On the other hand, as can be seen from FIG. 91, when the “normal background effect” is displayed and the fourth advantageous game state (small hit) occurs, "Chance production" or "
Shifted to either “Talking time production” and not in the probability fluctuation state (Gase)
When the “Katakata Night Chance Effect” is displayed in the state and the fourth advantageous game state occurs, the process shifts to “Talking Time Effect”.

In other words, if neither the probability fluctuation state nor the short-time gaming state, even if a big hit (probability fluctuation state) occurs due to the third advantageous gaming state, even if a small hit occurs due to the fourth advantageous gaming state, the same Progressive production is performed in the flow. For this reason, it is impossible to distinguish both hits. For example, even if a “small hit” occurs, “it may be the third advantageous gaming state (big hit)”, that is, “the probability variation state. "It may have rushed in."

If the 3rd advantageous game state occurs when the “Talking time effect” is displayed in the state of the gas, the game shifts to the “Super chatting time effect”, but the 4th advantageous game state (small hit) ) Does not shift to “Super Chat Time Production”. For this reason, the “super-talking time effect” can be positioned as an effect in which the latency of the probability variation state is fixed, and the “chat time effect” can be changed from “the chatting time effect” to “ There will be a pattern that can be shifted to "Super Talking Time Production", and the change in production will become more noticeable due to the complexity of the production flow.

In addition, when the third advantageous gaming state occurs when the probability variation state is hidden, it will shift to “Tokoro Megaten Mode Effect” regardless of what effect is being performed. Yes. According to this, the expectation to the lottery can be greatly enhanced by a special performance. The same applies when the fifth advantageous gaming state (fourth big hit) occurs.

Also, if the first big hit (first advantageous gaming state) occurs, no matter what kind of performance is performed, after giving a specific profit, it will always be the background of "heaven", the second big hit ( When the second advantageous game state) occurs, it always becomes a background of “chance time” after giving a specific profit, regardless of what kind of effects are performed.

Next, a functional configuration of the peripheral substrate 811 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 84, when the control information command transmitted from the main control board 94 (corresponding to the main control means) is received by the command receiving means 951, the peripheral board 811 (corresponding to the sub control means) Various functions for controlling the effect display device 217 are provided.

That is, as the effect table corresponding to the first big hit lottery, the first hit effect mode table 952a and the first off time effect mode table 953a are stored in advance, and based on these tables 952a and 953a, The production mode in the step production and the development production is determined.

First, the production mode tables 952a and 953a will be described in detail. The first hit time effect mode table 952a is used in the case of a big hit (or a small hit), and an effect determination random number (
It shows the relationship between an effect mode (here, an effect pattern in a step effect and an advanced effect). The first off-time effect mode table 953a is a table used in the case of a loss, and indicates the relationship between the effect determination random number and the effect pattern.

The peripheral board 881 includes first effect random number extracting means 957a for extracting effect determining random numbers from a random counter (not shown), and first effect mode determining means 95 for determining effect patterns.
8a. When receiving the control command via the command receiving means 951, the first effect mode determining means 958a extracts the effect random number by the first effect random number extracting means 957a and the success / failure command included in the control command is a big hit (or In the case of a small hit), the effect pattern is determined from the effect random number extracted by the first effect random number extracting means 957a and the effect effect table 952a at the time of the first effect. In the case of indicating an outage, the effect pattern is determined from the effect random number extracted by the first effect random number extraction means 957a and the effect mode table 953a during the first effect. Since the development effects are developed step by step over a plurality of performances, when the third advantageous gaming state (big hit) or the fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit) occurs, the basics in the subsequent lottery The flow of production (that is, in what pattern until which production is developed) is determined.

The effect pattern determined by the first effect mode determining means 958a is extracted from the effect pattern storage means (not shown) and sent to the first effect display control means 975a. The first effect display control means 975a displays images of those effects as image storage means (not shown).
To the readout effect display device 217. Here, the combination of the first effect mode determining means 958a and the first effect display control means 975a corresponds to the display control means of the present invention. The first effect display control means 975a also functions as a common effect execution means and a third unique effect execution means of the present invention.

On the other hand, a first decorative symbol variation control means 976a is provided as a functional configuration relating to the effect of the first decorative symbol 991. Based on the control command received by the command receiving unit 951, the first decorative symbol variation control unit 976a reads and varies the stop symbol from the first decorative symbol storage unit (not shown), and includes variations included in the control command. The decorative design is stopped based on the time, the success / failure command, etc. (that is, the lottery result).

In the above description, the effects related to the first big hit lottery have been described, but the peripheral board 881 is also provided with a functional configuration for performing effects related to the second big hit lottery. Specifically, as the effect table corresponding to the second big hit lottery, the second hit time effect mode table 952.
b and the second off-time effect mode table 953b are stored in advance, and based on these tables 952b and 953b, the step mode and the effect mode in the development effect are determined. The production mode tables 952b and 953b have the same configuration as the production mode tables 952a and 953a corresponding to the first big hit lottery, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

The peripheral board 881 has a second effect random number extracting means 95 corresponding to the second big hit lottery.
7b, second effect mode determining means 958b, second effect display control means 975b, and second decorative symbol variation control means 976b are provided, and these configurations are also similar to the functional configuration corresponding to the first big hit lottery. The detailed description will be omitted.

The peripheral board 881 has decorative symbol sequence variation display means 960 and jackpot display means 964.
Is provided. The decorative symbol sequence fluctuation display means 960 is a first decorative symbol fluctuation control means 976.
a and the output of the second decorative symbol variation control means 976b or the command receiving means 95
Based on the control command received by 1, the common decorative symbol sequence 993 is changed, and the common decorative symbol sequence 993 is sequentially stopped based on the change time and the success / failure command included in the control command (that is, the lottery result). Is. In particular, a plurality of common decorative design rows 9
If the combination of decorative symbols (stopped symbols) already stopped on the active line satisfies the specific combination of decorative symbols at the stage before the last stopped symbol sequence to be stopped among 93 is stopped, The reach state is established by using the already stopped decorative symbol as a reach formation symbol.

The jackpot display means 964 performs the lottery when the lottery result of the first jackpot lottery or the second jackpot lottery is the first jackpot or the second jackpot, that is, when the “probable big hit” or “normal jackpot”. After stopping the variation of the common decorative design row 993, it is displayed that “big hit”. In addition, when the lottery result of the first big hit lottery or the second big hit lottery is the third big hit, the fourth big hit, or the small hit, the “decision” is not displayed and the common decorative design column 993 is displayed. After the change is stopped, the effect related to the lottery is finished.

Further, the peripheral board 881 is provided with a winning state implicit means 995 and a winning state indicating means 996. The winning state implied means 995 makes the player uncertain which of the winnings is given when a predetermined profit is given to the player by the third advantageous gaming state and the fourth advantageous gaming state. . Specifically, as described above, “location slot production”, “
“Katakata Night Chance Production” and “Talking Time Production” are to be able to appear in any advantageous gaming state. On the other hand, the winning state indication means 996 is specified by the first advantageous gaming state or the second advantageous gaming state even if a predetermined number of lotteries have been carried out from the provision of the profit when the predetermined benefit is given by the third advantageous gaming state. It is clear that the probability fluctuation state is hidden when the benefit of is not granted. Specifically, as described above, the “super chat time production” is to appear. According to this, it is possible to suppress “a game is ended halfway because it is not noticed even though it is in a probability variation state”.

Next, the functional configuration and the flow of effects related to the development effect will be described in detail. The first effect display control means 975a and the second effect display control means 975b are for development effects,
First normal state effect control means 1100 (shown in FIG. 99) related to the normal background effect, second normal state effect control means 1200 (shown in FIG. 100) related to the slot effect, and high probability expectation small effect related to the Katakata night chance effect. The control means 1300 (shown in FIG. 101) and the high-probability expectation / effect production control means 1400 (shown in FIG. 102) relating to the chat time effect are provided.

As shown in FIG. 99, the first normal state effect control means 1100 has a special effect execution means 1101 and a point generation permission means 1103 as functional configurations. The special effect execution means 1101 executes a special effect that can appear during normal background effects, especially when the second special symbol is changed, and requests operation of the operation button (push button) 1102 during the effects. . When the special effect is derived, the point generation permission unit 1103 permits an item (including a point and an item symbol) to be provided when the operation button 1102 is pressed. In other words, if the normal background effect is performed in the normal gaming state, it is not a special effect, or if the operation button 1102 is not operated by the player even if the special effect is performed, the item is not displayed. ing.

As a specific effect example, as shown in FIG. 103 (b), when a special effect is executed, a character “PUSH” is displayed in the lottery state display section 998 and the operation button 1102 is pressed. Required. When the operation button 1102 is operated, a lottery is performed, and an item to be given is displayed on the lottery status display unit 998. As an item, FIG.
There may be points (points) as shown in FIG. 4 (a), or item symbols (T-shirts in this example) other than the points as shown in FIG. 104 (b). When points are given as items, the points are accumulated and displayed on the point display unit 999.

As described above, since the special effect can be executed only when the second special symbol is changed and the operation button 1102 is operated when the special effect appears, the item is allowed to be given. It is possible to suppress the frequency at which the item is given, and to add a sharpness between the case where the item is given and the case where the item is not given, and it is possible to increase the interest in displaying the item. Further, it is possible to visually distinguish the lottery based on the first special symbol and the lottery based on the second special symbol, and it is possible to easily recognize that two types of lotteries are being performed. In particular, since the second start port 332 for starting the variation of the second special symbol suppresses the winning of the game ball unless it becomes a specific gaming state, the frequency of the item being given even in the normal gaming state is effective. Can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the operation of the operation button 1102 is requested, it is not a passive production that is merely seen, but actively participates in the production.
Items can be acquired as if they were games.

Further, the first normal state effect control means 1100 includes privilege provision control means 1104, item display control means 1120, and first point totaling means 1121. The privilege grant control means 1104 gives an item based on the output of the point generation permission means 1103, the item selection table 1105 storing a plurality of types of items including points, and item selection prior to the derivation of the special effects. Item selection random number extraction means 1 for extracting random numbers for use
106 and item determining means 1107 for determining one item based on the extracted item selection random number and the item selection table 1105. In particular, the item selection table 1105 includes an item distribution table 11 as shown in FIG.
08 and an item conversion table 1109. The item distribution table 1108 shows the relationship between the item type (item contents) corresponding to each pattern and the distribution of each pattern. Here, pattern 1 to pattern 10 correspond to item designs,
Patterns 11 to 13 correspond to points. For item designs, pattern 1
~ "TV", "Controller", "Guitar", "Banana" and "T-shirt (blue)" of Pattern 5 are relatively likely to appear, and "T-shirt (Green)" of Pattern 6 to Pattern 10
“T-shirt (red)”, “T-shirt (white)”, “T-shirt (gold)”, and “window explosion” are relatively difficult to appear. On the other hand, in terms of points, “5 points” of pattern 11 occupies 40% of the entire item and is very easy to be given,
“10 points” is 2% of the total, and “20 points” is 0.5% of the total, which is very difficult to be given.

The item conversion table 1109 is used when the pattern selected based on the item distribution table 1108 and the item selection random number is any one of the patterns 11 to 13, that is, when a point is selected as an item to be added. It is a table. In this item conversion table 1109, the point is pattern 5 (T-shirt (blue)).
Whether or not to be converted to is assigned at a predetermined ratio in correspondence with the total of points accumulated so far. For example, if the total up to now is 0 to 19 points, no conversion is performed at all, but if it is 40 to 59 points, 30 percent is converted, and when it reaches 100 points, all conversion is performed. It has become so. In other words, the more points you have accumulated,
It is easy to convert to an item image of pattern 5. In other words, it is set so that the probability that points are given becomes lower as it approaches 100 points. For this reason, it can suppress that the sum total of points reaches | attains a fixed value immediately, and the pleasure which collects points can be continued over a comparatively long term.

By the way, if “0 points” is provided as a point, the total of points is a constant value (
100 points) can be controlled, but if “0 point” is displayed, there is a risk of discomfort to the player, especially if it is continuously displayed many times. There is also concern that it may be annoying. On the other hand, in this example, an item image is displayed instead of displaying “0 point”. For this reason, even if the given points are “0 points” and the total of the points does not change, it is possible to suppress the player's mood drop and to give visual interest by the item image Can do. In particular, as the item distribution table 1108, a table corresponding to the case where the lottery result is a win and a table corresponding to a case where the lottery is off are prepared, and the appearance rate of each item image is determined as the result of the success / failure (the lottery result). ) Depending on the situation. In other words, each item image is associated with the expected value for the lottery result, and the item selection random number extraction means 110
When the item selection random number is extracted in step 6, the item image is determined based on the item selection random number, the item distribution table 1108, and the result of the determination. As described above, since it is possible to display an item image corresponding to the expected value of the lottery, it is possible to draw attention to the item image even when no points are displayed.

99, the point or item image determined by the item determining unit 1107 is displayed on the lottery state display unit 998 by the item display control unit 1120. When points are awarded, the points are accumulated by the first point accumulating unit 1121 and the total is displayed on the point display unit 999. Here, the privilege grant control means 1104 corresponds to the point generation means of the present invention, the first point accumulation means 1121 corresponds to the point accumulation means of the present invention, the operation button 1102 corresponds to the push button of the present invention, and the point The generation permission unit 1103 corresponds to the privilege grant permission unit of the present invention, and the item display control unit 1120 corresponds to the point display control unit of the present invention.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 100, the second normal state effect control means 1200 has a slot effect execution means 1203 and a slot point generation means 1204 as functional configurations. The slot effect executing means 1203 is used when the third big hit determining means 1201 determines that the lottery result is the third big hit or when the small hit determining means 1202 determines that the lottery result is the small hit. , The execution of the slot effect (corresponding to the second normal state effect of the present invention) is started. The slot point generating means 1204 generates points in the slot effect. Prior to the slot effect, the point distribution table 1205 showing the relationship between the total of points and the distribution (appearance rate) of the given points. Point determination random number extraction means 1206 for extracting a given point determination random number
And a point determination unit 1207 for determining a point value based on the random number for determination, the total number of stored points, and the point distribution table 1205 when the random number for determination of granted points is extracted. ing.

As the point distribution table 1205, a slot effect distribution table 1208 as shown in FIG. 94 is used. This slot effect distribution table 1208 shows the relationship between the contents of the effect corresponding to the pattern and the total of points currently accumulated, that is, the total of points accumulated in the normal background effect, and each numerical value is a denominator. Represents the ratio when. Here, the pattern 1 to the pattern 12 display the point value in the place slot effect, and the pattern 13 to the pattern 22 displays “to shift to the chatting time effect” in the place slot effect. In this table, “bita” means that the reel of the slot stops at the point or the destination, and “arrow” once stops at a different symbol (the symbol on the left side of the arrow) It means to shift to the true symbol (the symbol on the right side of the arrow). For example, as shown in FIG. 106 (a), the state where the point just stops on the display D of the slot is “bita”, and as shown in FIG. is there. In the slot effect distribution table 1208, when there are a plurality of items with the same effect content (the same effect result) (for example, pattern 1 and pattern 2)
However, these are different in the shape of the fluctuating reels (fluctuating symbols displayed on the reels) and display different production processes.

By the way, when a point is given in a certain slot effect, if the total of the points may reach a certain value, it is not possible to match between the certain slot effect and the next katakana night chance effect. In other words, in the Katakata Night chance production, the production of “Accumulating points granted and shifting to the chat time production when the total of the points reaches a certain value” is performed, but before the Katakata Night chance production appears However, if the total of points reaches a certain value, the existence of the katakana night chance production itself is meaningless.

However, according to the slot effect distribution table 1208 of this example, Pattern 1 to Pattern 12
Area, that is, an area displaying points (hereinafter referred to as “first area”) and an area from pattern 13 to pattern 22, ie, an area displaying a transition destination (hereinafter referred to as “second area”).
In the first area, the points are distributed so that even if the added points are added to the total of accumulated points, the points will not reach a certain value (100 points) . On the other hand, when the determined effect is included in the second area, the slot effect is shifted to the chat time effect without causing the Katakata night chance effect to appear. In other words, if a certain value is not reached even after the points to be given are added, after the points are given, a transition is made to the katakana night chance effect, whereas, if a certain value is reached, a transition is made to the chatting time effect. Note that when the transition is made directly to the chatting time effect, the point becomes unnecessary after that, so the transition destination is displayed without displaying the point. Further, in the slot effect distribution table 1208, the higher the total number of points stored (the closer to 100 points), the higher the possibility that an effect in the second area is selected. In other words, the higher the stored points, the easier it is to shift to chatting time production. In particular, when the total number of points stored in the normal background effect has reached 100 points, the process is always shifted to the chat time effect regardless of the random number for determining the granted points. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the contradiction between the effects and to realize the superiority of the effects due to reaching a certain value at a relatively early stage.

The slot effect distribution table 1208 uses the same table regardless of whether the lottery result is a third big hit or a small hit. In other words, in the slot effect, the contents of the effect are determined using tables distributed at the same ratio, so even if it is a small hit, it is visually compared to a special hit with a probability variation state. It becomes impossible to distinguish.

When the point determination unit 1207 selects a pattern in the first area of the slot effect distribution table 1208, the point is output to the second point accumulation unit 1220, and the points accumulated by the first point accumulation unit 1121 are displayed. That is, it is added to the total of points accumulated in the normal background effect. Thereafter, the first effect transition control means 122
1 operates, and if the pattern selected in the slot effect distribution table 1208 is included in the first area, that is, if the total number of points has not reached 100 points, the slot effect is changed to a katakana night chance effect. On the other hand, when the selected pattern is included in the second area, the special background effect appearance unit 1222 is controlled so as to shift from the slot effect to the chatting time effect. The special background effect appearing means 1222 displays any development effect on the effect display device 217. The special background effect appearing means 1222 is provided with a transition destination notice display means 1223, and appears. When switching the production to be performed, the transition destination is displayed in the production in the previous lottery.

Further, the second normal state effect control means 1200 includes a route determination means 1224 and a Katata Kata derivation number setting means 1227 for use in the next effect Katakata Night chance effect. The route determination unit 1224 operates when the lottery result is a small hit and the first production transition control unit 1221 decides to shift to the katakana night chance production, and develops more than the katakana night chance production. One of the first route to return to the normal background effect without development, or the chat route time effect, and then the second route to return to the normal background effect is determined based on the total of points. That is, the route determination unit 1224 has the route distribution table 1225 shown in FIG. 93, and the second point accumulation unit 12 determines whether the first route (1A) or the second route (1B) is distributed.
20 is set in association with the points accumulated by 20. In the route distribution table 1225, the distribution ratio is set so that the probability that the second route (1B) is selected increases as the total of points increases. For this reason, even if there are few points awarded in the Katakata Night chance production, if the total of points accumulated in the normal background production or the slot production is large, there is a possibility of shifting to the chat time production Becomes higher.

The Katakata derivation number setting unit 1227 sets the number of times of continuous derivation of the Katakata night chance 1003. The derivation number distribution table 1228 indicating the relationship between the route determined by the route determination unit 1224 and the number of continuation derivations, and the number determination When the random number for frequency determination is extracted and the random number for frequency determination is extracted, the number of continuous derivations is determined based on the random number for determination, the determined route, and the derivation frequency distribution table 1228. The number-of-times determining means 1240 is provided. In particular, in the derivation frequency allocation table 1228, as shown in FIG. 95 (a), the continuous derivation frequency (that is, the number of games) is changed between 6 times and 10 times. Is set for each route. Here, the numerical value indicates the ratio when the denominator is 200, and “katakata 1A” is the first route, that is, the route ending with the katakana night chance production, and “katakata 1B”.
Is the second route, that is, the route that ends after developing to chatting time production,
“Katakata 2” is an effect that the lottery result is the third big hit and develops to a super chatting time production. In the derived number allocation table 1228 of this example, “katakata 1B” and “katakata 2”
The distribution of the number of continuation derivations is the same, and the number of continuation derivations is 9 in most cases. On the other hand, “Katakata 1A” is set so that the number of continuous derivations is smaller than that of “Katakata 1B” and “Katakata 2”. As the number increases, the distribution rate decreases. Therefore, when shifting to the chatting time effect, it is possible to raise the feeling of expectation gradually by the Katakata Night chance effecting, which is the middle stage, and to raise the mood when shifting to the chatting time effect. On the other hand, if you do not shift to chatting time production, you can suppress the decline in motivation for not developing into chatting time production by ending the Katakata Night chance production at a relatively early stage Become. here,
The slot point generating means 1204 corresponds to the point generating means of the present invention, the second point accumulating means 1220 corresponds to the point accumulating means of the present invention, and the route determining means 1224 corresponds to the route selecting means of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 101, the high-probability expected small effect control means 1300 has a functional configuration,
It has a Katakata presentation execution unit 1301 and a Katakata point generation unit 1302.
The Katakata production execution unit 1301 starts the Katakata night chance production based on the output of the first production transition control unit 1221 (see FIG. 100). The Katakata point generating means 1302 gives predetermined points as a privilege during the Katakata Night chance production, and shows the relationship between the total of points accumulated by the second point accumulating means 1220 and the distribution of assigned point values. Point distribution table 1303 to be shown, point determination random number extracting means 1304 for extracting a random number for determining a given point, and a random number for determining a given point when the random number for determining a given point is extracted. A point determination unit 1305 for determining points to be given based on a total of accumulated points and a point distribution table 1303 is provided. The point distribution table 1303 is a notice effect distribution table 1306 (see FIG. 95 (b)) showing the correspondence between each pattern and the contents of the effect in the Katakata Night chance effect, and the relationship between each pattern and the total of points (distribution). ) Three types of drop point distribution table 1
307, 1308, 1309 (see FIG. 96). In the notice effect distribution table 1306 shown in FIG. 95 (b), the patterns 3 to 6 are effects related to the points, specifically the effects of dropping the point card P on which the points are displayed, and the patterns 7 to 9 are This is an effect in which something other than the point card P falls. The effects of Pattern 7 to Pattern 9 appear as a precursor to transition to a normal background effect or a chatting time effect. The pattern 2 includes a right movable decorative body 234 and a left movable decorative body 235.
This is an effect in which only the point card P is allowed to appear and the point card P does not appear.

The fall point distribution table is divided based on the route determined by the route determining means 1224 and the lottery result. In other words, the lottery result is a small hit and the first route (Katakata 1A
) Is selected, and a drop point distribution table 1303 corresponding to the case where the lottery result is a small hit and the second route (katakata 1B) is selected.
8 and a drop point distribution table 1309 corresponding to the case where the lottery result is the third big hit (katakata 2). The drop point distribution tables 1308 and 1309 corresponding to Katakata 1B or Katakata 2 are the same as each other.
In the drop point distribution table 1307 corresponding to, a pattern having a higher point value is less likely to be selected than the other two distribution tables 1308 and 1309. In any of the drop point allocation tables 1307, 1308, and 1309, the larger the total number of stored points, the more difficult it is to assign a large point value.

In particular, in this example, when the point value is determined, in the case of “Katakata 1A”, even if the continuous derivation number set by the katakata derivation number setting means 1227 is performed, the total number of points is a constant value ( The point value is determined so that it does not reach (100 points). On the other hand, in the case of “katakata 1B” or “katakata 2”, when the last round or slightly previous round of katakana night chance effects are derived The point value is determined so that the total of points reaches a certain value. In other words, in the Katakata Night chance production, it appears as if it is possible to shift to the chat time production on the condition that the given points reach 100 points, but in fact, the Katakata Night chance production continues The number of derivations and the transition destination (route) of the effect are set in advance, and the points given to match the number of continuous derivations and the transition destination are determined. In other words, even if the total number of points given is a constant value, the transition to the chat time production is performed until the number of executions of the Katakata Night Chan production reaches the number of continuous derivations set by the Katakata derivation number setting means 1227. Postponed. For this reason, it can be suppressed that the katakana night chance production becomes extremely short and the content of the production cannot be fully enjoyed, or conversely becomes extremely long and tired of repetition of the production. Also, in the Katakata Night chance production, if the total of points reaches a certain value, "It was promised to develop into a chatting time production"
And can increase the willingness to shift to chatting time production.

By the way, when developing into a chatting time effect, drop point distribution tables 1308 and 1309 shown in FIG. 96 (b) or (c) are used, but since each effect pattern is determined based on random numbers, Even if the set number of continuous derivations is performed, the total number of points may not reach a certain value during that time. That is, there is a possibility that the katakana night chance effect will end without reaching a certain value. Therefore, in this example, when it is decided to develop into a chatting time production, even if the final Katakata night chance production is performed, if the total of points does not reach a certain value, the chatting time production is performed. A display to the effect of transition, for example, “Large mark” of pattern 9 is displayed. This makes it possible to recognize that “the total point has not reached a certain value, but has shifted to the chatting time effect due to the remedy”, and shifts to the chatting time effect without reaching the constant value. It does not arouse mysterious feelings about doing. Note that this “main point mark” may be displayed instead of the point. In this case, even if the total of the points does not reach a certain value, the transition to the chatting time effect is ensured. That is, in the drop point distribution table 1307 shown in FIG. 96A, there is no distribution for the pattern 9, but FIG.
In the drop point distribution tables 1308 and 1309 shown in b) and (c), since the distribution is made with respect to the pattern 9, it can appear only when shifting to the chatting time effect.

As shown in FIG. 101, when a point is generated by the Katakata point generating means 1302, the point is output to the third point accumulating means 1320 and sequentially added to the total of points accumulated by the second point accumulating means 1220. Is added. The total of all points is displayed at the point display part PT (
108), and when the total of the points reaches a certain value, that fact is displayed.

Further, the high-probability expected small effect control means 1300 includes a derivation number counting means 1321 that counts the number of executions of the Katakata Night chance effect, and a continuous derivation number set by the Katakata derivation number setting means 1227. The second production transition control means 1322 is provided for transitioning from the Katakata Night chance production to the chatting time production or from the Katakata Night chance production to the normal background production.

In addition, the high-probability expected small effect control means 1300 is provided with point erasing means 1323 for erasing a part or all of the stored points when shifting from the Katakata Night chance effect to the normal background effect. The point erasure unit 1323 includes a remaining point distribution table 1324, a remaining point determination random number extraction unit 1325 that extracts a remaining point determination random number,
The extracted random number for remaining point determination, the total of accumulated points (that is, the total of points accumulated by the third point accumulating means 1320), and the remaining point distribution table 1
And a remaining point determining means 1326 for determining whether or not to leave a point based on H.324. In the remaining point distribution table 1324, as shown in FIG. 95 (c), distribution for pattern 7 (effect that leaves no points) and pattern 8 (effect that leaves 20 points) is set in correspondence with the total of points. As the total number of points increases, the rate at which the pattern 8 is selected increases. For example, if the total number of points is 20 points or less, there is no effect that leaves points, but if the total number of points is 51 points or more, the effect that leaves points and the effect that does not leave points are halved. Appears at a rate. In this way, the larger the total of points, the easier it is to leave some of them, and when they are left, after returning to the normal background effect, the accumulation is resumed from the remaining points. . Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a decrease in expectation when returning from the katakana night chance effect to the normal background effect, and it is possible to suppress the end of the game at that time. Here, the Katakata point generating means 1302 corresponds to the point generating means of the present invention, the third point accumulating means 1320 corresponds to the point accumulating means of the present invention, and the second effect transition control means 1322 is the effect transition control of the present invention. Corresponds to means.

As shown in FIG. 102, the high probability expectation large effect control means 1400 has a functional configuration,
It has a chatting effect execution means 1401 and a chatting derivation number setting means 1402. The chatting effect execution means 1401 starts the chatting time effect based on the output of the first effect transition control means 1221 (see FIG. 100) or the second effect transition control means 1322 (see FIG. 101). The chatting derivation number setting means 1402 determines the derivation number for each background effect in the chatting time effect based on the lottery. More specifically, the chatting time effect has three types of background images including morning, evening, and night as background effects, and these background images are sequentially switched and displayed. Then, the chatting time effect using each background image is executed by the number of times set by the chatting derivation number setting means 1402. The chatting derivation number setting means 1402 includes a pattern distribution table 1403 indicating the relationship between the number pattern obtained by combining the derivation times of the respective background effects and the lottery result, and a random number for pattern selection before the transition to the chatting time effect. Based on the extracted pattern selection random number extraction means 1404, the extracted pattern selection random number, the lottery result (ie, the output of the third big hit determination means 1201 or the small hit determination means 1202), and the pattern distribution table 1403 And a derivation number recognizing means 1406 for recognizing the derivation number in each background effect from the determined number pattern. The pattern distribution table 1403 includes a chat (1) table 1407 shown in FIG. 97 and a chat (2) table 1408 shown in FIG. Here, “Talking (1)” indicates that the lottery result is the fourth result (small hit), and “Talking (2)” indicates that the lottery result is the third big hit (special hit with probability variation state). ). In addition, in the column of the number of modes (corresponding to the number of derivations), there are three types of numerical values.
This shows, in order from the left, the number of derivations in the morning background, the evening background, and the night background. For example, (3, 3, 24) described in the first column performs “morning background effect” three times, then “evening background effect” three times, and “night background effect” 24 times. This shows that a chat time effect is performed 30 times in total. Although omitted for the sake of convenience, a numerical value indicating the morning background and a numerical value indicating the evening background are also set to be reversed, and each is assigned at a ratio of 1: 1. For example, when the number of modes is (3, 6, 8) and the distribution ratio is 142/200014, the “morning background effect” is 3 times, the “evening background effect” is 6 times, and the “night background” The pattern of performing “reproduction” 8 times and the morning and evening are reversed, “morning background production”
6 times, "Evening background effect" 3 times, "Night background effect" 8 times pattern,
Each is selected at a distribution ratio of 71/200014.

As can be seen from the chatting (1) table 1407 and the chatting (2) table 1408, the total number of derivations in the chatting time direction is the case of chatting (1) (
In the case of small hits, it will be less than a certain number of times (30 times in this example), and in the case of chatting (2) (
In the case of the third big hit), it is limited to a certain number of times. For this reason, if it does not shift to super chatting time production, after the chatting time production less than a certain number of times,
When returning to the normal background effect and shifting to the super-chat time effect, it will be developed after a certain number of chat time effects. Therefore, the player wishes that the chatting time effect is continuously executed a certain number of times, and does not provoke dissatisfaction or irritation even if the relatively monotonous effect is repeated. . The certain number of times (for example, 30 times) is set to a number that is larger than the predicted number of times until the big hit, which is predicted based on the probability that the first hit or the second hit occurs in the probability variation state. For this reason, even if the number of lotteries predicted to be a big hit has elapsed, when such an advantageous gaming state is not achieved, the transition to the super chatting time effect is made. In other words, `` If the probability fluctuation state did not occur '', the super chatting time production appears to aim at the timing of starting to be aware of the end of the game, so the joy of the super chatting time production appearing further In addition to being large, it is possible to prevent the game from being ended even though the probability variation state is hidden.

Further, in the chatting (2) table 1408, the chatting (1) table 140 is used.
Compared to 7, the ratio of deriving the “morning background effect” or “evening background effect” relatively high is higher. For example, the probability that both “morning background effect” and “evening background effect” are derived 12 times or more is 200/200014 in the case of chatting (1), but in the case of chatting (2). Is 1100/200014, which is selected at a rate of about 5.5 times. That is, when the lottery result is the third big hit, the background effect switching is set to be slower than when the lottery result is the small hit. In this way, the slower the switching of the background effect, the higher the possibility that it will be the third hit, that is, the possibility of developing into a super chatting time effect, so it becomes possible to pay attention to the switching of the background effect. .

As shown in FIG. 102, the high-probability expected large effect control means 1400 has the number of times of execution of the talk time effect counted for each background effect.
09, background effect switching means 1420 for switching the background effect every time the execution count for each background effect counted by the chatter effect count counting means 1409 reaches the derivation count set by the chatter derivation count setting means 1402, and the number of chatter effects The number of executions of the entire chatting time effect counted by the counting unit 1409 is the chatting derivation number setting unit 1.
When the total number of times of derivation set in 402 is reached, a third effect transition control means 1421 for shifting to either the normal background effect or the super chatting time effect is provided. That is, when the lottery result is a small hit, the third effect transition control means 1421 shifts the chatting time effect to the normal background effect after performing the continuous derivation number, while the lottery result is the third big hit. After the number of continuous derivations of the chatting time production, the transition to super chatting time production is made. In other words, whether or not to shift to the super chat time production, each background production is derived in turn by the number of times determined in the lottery, so it is possible to fully enjoy the content of the production and changes in the background. .

Next, the flow of processing (background selection processing) in the above-described development effect will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 74 shows background selection processing, FIG. 75 shows special background processing in background selection processing, FIG. 76 shows Katakata 1A background processing in special background processing, and FIG. 77 shows Katakata 1B background in special background processing. FIG. 78 shows the chatter 1 background process in the special background process, and FIG. 79 shows the chatter 2 background process in the special background process.

In the background selection process shown in FIG. 74, first, it is determined whether or not a special background has been selected, that is, whether or not a development effect to be derived has been determined (step S1301). When the special background is selected (YES in step S1301), the lottery result is a predetermined hit pattern other than the third big hit or the small hit, that is, the first big hit or the second that shifts to the big hit state effect. It is determined whether it corresponds to a big hit or a fourth big hit that shifts to the Tokoro mega heaven mode effect (step S1302). In step S1302, if it is included in the predetermined hit pattern (YES in step S1302), the background selection process is terminated, and if it is not included in the predetermined hit pattern (in step S1302). NO
), Special background processing is executed (step S1303). The special background process will be described later.

On the other hand, if no special background is selected in step S1301, (NO),
It is determined whether the lottery result is a small hit (step S1304).
), It is determined whether any one of pattern 1 to pattern 12 (that is, the first region) is selected in the small hitting slot effect distribution table 1208 (see FIG. 94) (step S1305).
If the pattern of the first area is selected (YES in step S1305)
), It is determined whether or not the first route (1A) is selected in the Katakata selection table (corresponding to the route distribution table 1225 (see FIG. 93)) (step S1306). First route (
If 1A) is selected (YES), the Katakata 1A flag is set (step S1307). On the other hand, if the first route is not selected, that is, the second route (1B).
Is selected (NO in step S1306), the Katakata 1B flag is set (step S1308). Thus, after the Katakata 1A or Katakata 1B flag is set, the stay game number distribution table (corresponding to the derived number distribution table 1228 (FIG. 9
5 (a)))), the number of continuous derivations is determined, and the number of times is set in the stay counter (step S1309).

On the other hand, if any of pattern 13 to pattern 22 (that is, the second region) is selected in slot effect distribution table 1208 (NO in step S1304), the chatter 1 flag is set (step S1310), Talking mode stay game number distribution table (
Based on the chatting (1) table 1407 (see FIG. 97)), the number of derivations for each background effect in the chatting time effect is determined, and the number of times is set in the counter (step S1311).

If it is determined in step S1304 that it is not a small hit (NO), it is determined whether or not the lottery result is a third big hit (step S1312). If it is the third big hit (YES in step S1312), any one of the patterns 1 to 12 in the specific slot effect distribution table (equivalent to the small hit slot effect distribution table 1208) (that is, the first It is determined whether one area) is selected (step S1313). If the first area pattern is selected (YES in step S1313), the chat 2 flag is set (step S1314), and the process proceeds to step S1311. In step S1311, the chat (2) table 1408 is used as the chat mode stay game number distribution table. On the other hand, if any of the patterns 13 to 22 (that is, the second area) is selected in the slot effect distribution table 1208 (step S131).
3), the Katakata 2 flag is set (step S1315), and step S130 is set.
Move to 9.

If it is not determined that the third big hit is determined in step S1312, (NO), it is determined whether the lottery result is the fourth big hit (fifth result) (step S1316). The four background flags are set (step S1317), and the background selection process ends. Also, if it is not determined that the fourth big hit (NO), it is determined whether the lottery result is the second big hit (step S1318), and if the second big hit (YES), the second background flag is set. (Step S1319), the background selection process is terminated. Further, if it is not determined that the second big hit (NO), it is determined whether the lottery result is the first big hit (step S13).
20) In the case of the first big hit (YES), the first background flag is set (step S13).
21) The background selection process is terminated. If it is not the first big hit, the background selection process is terminated as it is.

In the special background process shown in step S1303, as shown in FIG.
Is selected, that is, as the development effect to be derived, it is determined whether any one of the katakana night chance effect or the chat time effect is selected (step S).
1329). If special background 2 is selected (Y in step S1329)
ES), Katakata 1A background processing (Step S1330), Katakata 1B background processing (Step S1340), Katakata 2 background processing (Step S1350), Chatter 1 background processing (Step S1350)
Step S1360) and chatter 2 background processing (Step S1380) are executed in order, and then a display command corresponding to the special background pattern is set (Step S1395).
.

As shown in FIG. 76, in the Katakata 1A background process, it is determined whether or not the Katakata 1A flag is set in Step S1307 (Step S1331). If the Katakata 1A flag is set (YES), the Katakata Night chance is determined. It is determined whether the number of stay games (the number of executions) of the production corresponds to the final game (final game) (step S1332).
If it corresponds to the final game (YES in step S1332), the final effect is selected based on the final distribution table (corresponding to the remaining point distribution table 1324 (see FIG. 95C)) (step After that, the normal background shift flag is turned on (step S1334). On the other hand, when the number of staying games does not correspond to the final game (step S1)
NO at 332), a pattern is selected in the fall point distribution table 1307 (see FIG. 96 (a)), “1” is added to the stay game counter, and the Katakata 1A background processing is terminated. If it is determined in step S1331 that the Katakata 1A flag is not set (NO), the Katakata 1A background processing is terminated as it is.

As shown in FIG. 77, in Katakata 1B background processing and Katakata 2 background processing (hereinafter collectively referred to as Katakata 1B (2) background processing), Katakata 1B is performed in Step S1308.
It is determined whether the flag is set or whether the Katakata 2 flag is set in Step S1315 (Step S1341). If the Katakata 1B flag or Katakata 2 flag is set (YES), the stay fluctuation counter is It is determined whether or not it is the maximum value, that is, whether it is the final Katakata Night chance effect (step S1342).
). If the counter is at the maximum value (YES in step S1342), the chatter 1 flag (in the case of Katakata 1B background processing) or the chatter 2 flag (in the case of Katakata 2 background processing) is set (Step S1343). Further, as in step S1311, the number of derivations for each background effect in the chat time effect is determined based on the chat mode stay game number distribution table, and the number of times is set in the counter (step S1344).

On the other hand, if the stay fluctuation counter is not at the maximum value (N in step S1342)
O), a pattern is selected in the fall point distribution tables 1308 and 1309 (see FIGS. 96 (b) and (c)), and “1” is added to the stay game counter, and the background processing ends. . When it is determined in step S1341 that the Katakata 1B flag or Katakata 2 flag is not set (NO), the Katakata 1B is left as it is.
(2) End the background processing.

As shown in FIG. 78, in the chatter 1 background process, it is determined whether the chatter 1 flag is set in step S1310 or step S1343 (step S13).
61) If the chat 1 flag is set (YES), it is determined whether the fluctuation counter has reached the set mode number, that is, whether the number of derivations set for each background effect has been reached ( Step S1362). If the set mode number has not been reached (NO
), “1” is added to the variation counter (step S 1363), and the chatter 1 background process is terminated. On the other hand, if the variation counter has reached the set mode number (YES in step S1362), it is determined whether “morning background effect” is being derived (step S1364). If the “morning background effect” has been derived (YES), the evening background flag is turned on and the counter is set (step S1365), and then the counter in the “morning background effect” is reset (step S1365). S1366). Also, if you have not derived "morning background effect" (
NO in step S1364), it is determined whether “evening background effect” is being derived (step S).
1367). If the “evening background effect” is derived (YES), the night background flag is turned on, the counter is set (step S1368), and then the counter in the “evening background effect” is reset. (Step S1369). If the “evening background effect” has not been derived, that is, if the “night background effect” has been derived (NO in step S1367), the flag relating to the first normal state effect is turned on. (Step S1370), the counter in “Night background effect” is reset (Step S1371).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 79, in the chatter 2 background process, it is determined whether the chatter 2 flag is set in step S1314 or step S1343 (step S1381), and if the chatter 2 flag is set (YES) ), Whether the variation counter has reached the set mode number, that is, whether the number of derivations set for each background effect has been reached (step S1382). If the number of set modes has not been reached (NO), “1” is added to the variation counter (step S1383), and chat 2
The background process ends. On the other hand, if the variation counter has reached the set mode number (YES in step S1382), it is determined whether the “morning background effect” is being derived (step S138).
4). If the “morning background effect” has been derived (YES), the evening background flag is turned on and the counter is set (step S1385), and then the counter in the “morning background effect” is reset (step S1385). S1386). If “morning background effect” has not been derived (NO in step S1384), it is determined whether “evening background effect” is being derived (step S1387). And when “Evening background effect” is derived (Y
ES), the night background flag is turned on, and the counter is set (step S1388).
) Subsequently, the counter in “Evening background effect” is reset (step S1389).
. If the “evening background effect” is not derived, that is, if the “night background effect” is derived (NO in step S1387), the flag related to the super chatting time effect is turned on ( In step S1390), the counter in “night background effect” is reset (step S1391).

Thus, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, when the lottery result is the third result, that is, as the display mode that can appear when the third advantageous gaming state (big hit), the normal gaming state A normal state effect (a slot effect) showing a high probability expectation small effect (katakata night chance effect) indicating that a probability variation state may have occurred by the third advantageous gaming state control means 933c, A high probability expected large effect (talking time effect) indicating that the probability variation state is highly likely to have occurred by the three advantageous gaming state control means 933c, and a probability variation state has occurred by the third advantageous gaming state control means 933c. It has a high probability state effect (super chatting time effect) indicating that On the other hand, when the lottery result is the fourth result, that is, as a display mode that can appear in the case of the fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit), the normal state effect (place slot effect) and the high probability expected small effect ( Katakata night chance production)
Has a high probability expectation production (chat time production). That is, in the fourth advantageous gaming state, although the high probability state effect (the effect indicating that the probability variation state has occurred) cannot appear, the other effects appear in the same manner as the third advantageous game state. It is possible.

In addition, the high probability state production (super chatting time production) that appears only in the third advantageous gaming state is the stage of high probability expectation small production (katakata night chance production) and high probability expectation large production (chatting time production). It is a production that appears after that, and the transition from the high probability expectation small production to the high probability expectation large production requires the establishment of the first condition (the total of points exceeds a predetermined value) as a requirement, and the high probability expectation large production Since the transition from to high probability state production requires the establishment of the second condition (a predetermined number of lotteries are performed), even if the probability variation state occurs in the third advantageous gaming state, The “probability state effect” does not appear immediately. In other words, the third advantageous gaming state and the fourth advantageous gaming state cannot be distinguished for a while from when the predetermined profit is given until the “high probability state effect” appears. . For this reason, even if the fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit) occurs, “may be the third advantageous gaming state (big hit)”, that is, “probability fluctuation state may have entered. ", And the player's expectation can be enhanced. Therefore, the willingness to play is increased and the end of the game due to dissatisfaction can be suppressed as much as possible.

Also, in any advantageous game state, basically, the transition from the normal state effect (place slot effect) to the high probability expectation small effect (katakata night chance effect), the high probability expectation small effect to the high probability expectation large effect Since it shifts to (Talking time production), it becomes possible to raise the expectation for high probability step by step. For this reason, the willingness to game improves and it can prevent as much as possible that a game will be complete | finished on the way. Furthermore, in the case of the third advantageous gaming state, finally, “
A high-probability state effect that indicates that the player is in a state of probability fluctuation will appear, which will give the player a sense of security and expectation for the lottery, that is, expecting a specific profit. The feeling can be drastically increased.

Moreover, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, in the high probability expectation small production (katakata night chance production), a privilege other than valuable value is given as the game progresses, and the first condition is established based on this privilege. It is determined whether or not. When the first condition is established, it is possible to cause a high probability expectation large effect (talking time effect) to appear instead of the high probability expectation small effect. Therefore, the player comes to pay attention to whether or not a privilege is granted while visually recognizing the high probability expectation small effect, and as a result, the interest of the high probability expectation small effect (katakata night chance effect) can be enhanced. In particular, as a privilege, a predetermined point (score) is given for each effect, and when the total of the points reaches a certain value, it is possible to shift from the high probability expected small effect to the high probability expected large effect. Therefore, the player is interested in collecting points and can further increase the willingness to advance the game. In addition, since the higher the total of the points, the more advantageous it becomes, so even if the same type of high-probability expected small effects appear continuously, it is reduced that the content of the effects is bored.

In addition, this point may be given not only in the high probability expectation small effect (katakata night chance effect) but also in the normal state effect (normal background effect and place slot effect). Accordingly, the pleasure of acquiring points in the normal state effect is increased, and the willingness to shift to the high probability expectation small effect can be further enhanced by associating the normal state effect with the high probability expectation small effect. In other words, when points that reach a certain value are given in the normal state performance, “It was promised to develop from a high-probability expected small production to a high-probability expected large production”, or “ It can be recognized as “a certainty”, and the willingness to shift to a high-probability expectation small production can be increased. In other words, from the normal gaming state before the appearance of high-probability expected small effects, it becomes possible to be involved in games played with high-probability expected small effects, and it is possible to further increase interest in these series of effects. become.

Moreover, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, since unspecified points are generated based on random numbers, attention to the points is further increased, and sharpness can be given when points are given. In addition, since the larger the total number of points stored, the harder the point value is given, it is possible to suppress the point total from reaching a certain value immediately. That is, the pleasure of collecting points can be continued for a relatively long time. Conversely, when the total point is low, a relatively large point value can be given. For example, if you give a large point value at the beginning of the game,
This makes it possible to attract the player's consciousness. In the normal state effect, the first normal state effect (normal background effect) that can appear even if the lottery result does not become the third result or the fourth result, and the third result or the fourth result appear. If the lottery result is the third result or the fourth result, the first normal state effect is changed to the second normal state effect, and then the high It shifts to the probabilistic expectation small production. In the first normal state effect, the point value to be given is determined so as not to reach a constant value even if the point value to be given is added to the total of the stored points. In other words, when approaching a certain value, you can limit the points granted to a very small point value,
By setting the point value to “0”, processing is performed so as not to reach a certain value. Therefore, in the second normal state effect derived after the third result or the fourth result, it becomes possible to reach a certain value for the first time, and when it reaches a certain value, it immediately develops to the next effect. It becomes possible to make it. For this reason, the relationship between the total of accumulated points and the transition condition of the production becomes clear, and the reliability of the points can be improved.

Also, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the point value given in the first normal state effect (normal background effect) is “0”, the item image is displayed instead of the point value. ing. For this reason, even if the point value is “0” and the total does not change, the player's mood can be suppressed, and visual interest can be given by the item image. In particular, since multiple types of item images and the expected value for the lottery result of the lottery means are related to each other, it is possible to display the item image corresponding to the expected value, and eliminate the hatred of the item image. be able to.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the slot effect distribution table 1208 in the high probability expectation small effect (place slot effect) is divided into the first area and the second area, and the total of the stored points is A point group that does not reach a certain value even when a given point is added is defined as a first area, and another area, that is, a point group that reaches a certain value is defined as a second area. And when the determined point value is included in the second region, without causing a high-probability expected small production,
Transition from the second normal state effect to the high probability expectation effect. In other words, if you do not reach a certain value even if you add points, you will be transferred to a high-probability expected small effect after giving points, while if you reach a certain value, you will go to a high-probability expected large production I am trying to migrate.
Therefore, in the second normal state production, when giving points, it is grasped beforehand whether or not the total of points reaches a certain value, and when it is reached, it is shifted directly to the high probability expectation large production. It is possible to prevent the contradiction between the effects due to the presence of the effects. In particular,
When determining the point value in the high-probability expected small production, the total of points given in the first normal state production is considered, and the higher the total of points, the more likely the point value in the second area is selected Therefore, for example, compared to “restricting the point value that is given so that the total number of points does not reach a certain value in the high-probability expected small production”, the points accumulated in the first normal state production are utilized. Processing is possible.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the lottery result is the fourth result (small hit), the second normal state effect (place slot effect) is shifted to the high probability expectation small effect (katakata night chance effect). If it is decided to do so, the first route or the second route,
If the total number of accumulated points does not reach a certain value even after performing a predetermined number of high-probability small-expected performances, a transition is made based on the lottery result and the selected route. The production to be decided. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the production in the case of the third result from ending in the middle of a series of productions, and the transition to the high probability expected production (chat time production) is the case of the third result In addition, since there may be a fourth result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the probability variation state from being recognized until a high probability state effect is derived. In particular, since the possibility that the second route is selected increases as the total of the stored points increases, it is possible to give a higher interest to the points given in the normal state effect.

In addition, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the high-probability expected production (talking time production) is not caused to appear, the high value is obtained before the first condition is satisfied, that is, before the total of points reaches a certain value. It will return from the small probability expectation production (katakata night chance production) to the first normal state production (normal background production), but in this case all or part of the accumulated points will be erased, so it is in the zero state Alternatively, the first normal state effect is started again from an extremely small state. For example, even if small hits occur continuously, it is possible to prevent the accumulated points from becoming extremely large.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, in the first normal state effect (normal background effect), it is possible to give points only when the second special symbol changes, and when the first special symbol changes, In order not to be granted, the frequency at which points are given can be reduced, and the sharpness between the cases where points are given and cases where points are not given can be added, and the interest in giving points can be increased. It becomes. Moreover, it becomes possible to visually distinguish the lottery based on the first special symbol and the lottery based on the second special symbol, and it is possible to easily recognize that two types of lotteries are being performed. In particular, since the second start port 332 for starting the variation of the second special symbol is easy to win when entering the specific gaming state, it further enhances the pleasure of entering the specific gaming state. Can do. In addition, since the special effect is performed in the first normal state effect (normal background effect) and only when the operation button 1102 is operated, the points can be given, so the frequency of giving points is more efficient. It can be suppressed to reach a certain value immediately. Furthermore, since the operation of the operation button 1102 is requested, it is possible to actively participate in the production and acquire points as if it were a game, rather than just a passive production just watching. In the first normal state effect, the total of stored points is always displayed. In other words, points can be awarded only when the second special symbol is changing, but the total of points is also displayed when the first special symbol is not awarded. I have to. Therefore, it becomes possible for a player who is always aware of interest in points to start playing a game, and to use information about points as information for selecting a game machine. In other words, “I want to play on a game machine with many points already accumulated.”
That can increase the willingness to play.

In addition, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, in the third advantageous gaming state, the second condition is satisfied when the number of lotteries after the high-probability expected large production (talking time production) is derived exceeds a certain number of times. It is determined that it has been performed, and a transition is made to a high probability state effect (super chat time effect). For this reason,
The player wishes that the high-probability expectation production lasts long and exceeds a certain number of times. Therefore, even if the high-probability expectation production is a monotonous production, there is no dissatisfaction with the continued production, and it is possible to gradually increase the expectation for the lottery.
In particular, a high-probability state effect (super chat time effect) when the number of lottery times predicted to be in the first advantageous game state or the second advantageous game state has not yet reached such an advantageous game state. Therefore, it is possible to cause the high-probability state effect to appear at the timing when the player starts to be aware of the end of the game, “If the probability variation state has not occurred”. Therefore, the joy due to the appearance of the high-probability state effect can be further increased, and the game can be suppressed from being ended even though the probability fluctuation state is hidden. Also, in the high-probability expectation production, the background images are sequentially switched as the game progresses, so even if the appearance of the high-probability expectation production continues for a certain number of times, the content of the production will be changed, and the production will be bored. Can be suppressed. Moreover, since the possibility that the second condition is satisfied, that is, the possibility that a high-probability state effect will appear, increases as the background image changes more slowly, attention can be paid to the background change.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the “third advantageous gaming state” occurs when the gaming state is not at least the probability variation state and not the short-time gaming state (that is, in the normal time), the short-time gaming state It is made to be in a probability fluctuation state without generating. For this reason, the distinction between the “third advantageous gaming state” and the “fourth advantageous gaming state” can be made more difficult. The display mode that can appear in the case of the fifth advantageous gaming state is a high-probability short-time state effect indicating that the fifth advantageous gaming state control means 933e has generated a probability variation state and a short-time gaming state. Therefore, when winning the “fifth advantageous gaming state”, it is easily recognized that the state has become a short-time gaming state and a probability fluctuation state, and as a result, the feeling of expectation for the lottery is greatly increased and the player's mood is enhanced. It becomes possible to make it. In other words, the opening / closing operation of the attacker device 335, which is a predetermined profit, is attracting more attention, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. If a high-probability short-time game does not appear, it becomes clear that it is not the “fifth advantageous game state”, but even in such a case, there is a possibility that it is a “third advantageous game state”. Since it is left behind, it is possible to suppress a decrease in gaming motivation. Further, when the “third advantageous gaming state” is generated, if the probability variation state has already been established, the short-time gaming state is generated while the probability variation state is maintained. In other words, after the probability-changing state by the “third advantageous gaming state”, the “first advantageous gaming state” or the “second advantageous gaming state” is followed by the “third advantageous game” again before the specific profit is given. When “state” is entered, a short-time gaming state is given and a high-probability short-time state effect (Tokoro's mega heaven mode effect) appears. As a result, it becomes possible to give a profit more than a predetermined profit (same profit as the fourth advantageous gaming state) as a profit by the “third advantageous gaming state” again, and further increase the expectation for the big hit. Can do. In this case,
Since the ease of winning a prize at the second start port 332 increases and a specific performance appears,
Although it is possible to distinguish from the “fourth advantageous gaming state”, this control is limited to the case where the “third advantageous gaming state” is continuously generated, so even if the high probability time-short state effect does not appear. Even in this case, the player's motivation will not be reduced.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the first start port 33 that can always win a prize in the game area 37.
0 and a second start port 332 that allows a game ball to win when opened, and a game ball wins one of the first start port 330 and the second start port 332. In such a case, a predetermined effect is derived in the first special symbol display 390a and the second special symbol display 390b corresponding to the start ports 64 and 65, and further in the effect display device 217, and both the start ports 64 are displayed. , 65, two kinds of effects are derived in a predetermined order. Also, if it is determined that a specific gaming state has been reached, such as a gaming state after the end of the “probability variation jackpot”, the opening / closing state of the second start port 332 is controlled, and the winning of the game ball is extremely difficult. It changes to a very easy state. For this reason, when it becomes a specific gaming state, the second start port 33
It is easy to win a game ball with respect to 2, and the opportunity for the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery to be performed in parallel is increased, and the advantage in a specific gaming state can be greatly improved. It becomes possible.

A gaming machine is also known that increases the upper limit value of the number of reserved balls when a specific gaming state is entered in order to frequently perform lottery in a specific gaming state. However, even if the upper limit value of the number of held balls is increased in this way, in a gaming machine in which it is difficult to win a game ball at the starting port, the frequency of the lottery cannot be increased, and the player is satisfied. I can't. On the other hand, in this example, when a specific gaming state is reached, the number of lottery means is substantially increased, and the effect display is performed in a predetermined order in parallel. In addition, it is possible to greatly increase the feeling of expectation for the lottery.

In addition, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the maximum number of rounds is set to “15” in the big hit that is given a specific profit, whereas in the big hit or small hit that is given a predetermined profit, Since the number of rounds is set to “2” and the opening time is extremely short, the advantage between a specific profit and a predetermined profit can be clearly differentiated.

In addition, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the second start port 332 is changed from a state of hardly opening to a state of frequently opening by changing the winning probability of the normal winning lottery. The ease of winning a game ball at the mouth 332 can be easily changed.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, in addition to the first decorative symbol 991 and the second decorative symbol 992, the common decorative symbol row 993 is also displayed, so that the first decorative symbol 991 or the second decorative symbol 992 It is possible to easily grasp which lottery is being performed, and it is possible to recognize the production contents and the lottery result by the change and stop of the common decorative symbol sequence 993. In other words, even if the size of the first decorative design 991 and the second decorative design 992 is relatively small, it is possible to recognize the presence or absence of fluctuation, and accordingly, the display area of the common decorative design sequence 993 is increased, A powerful effect in which the shared decorative design row 993 is displayed on the entire screen is possible.

The present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention as described below. And design changes are possible.

That is, in the above embodiment, the various tables in the first big hit lottery and the various tables in the second big hit lottery are shown as separate tables. However, the same table may be shared. However, by constructing a separate table for each lottery as in the above embodiment, not only the lottery frequency is increased, but also lotteries with different contents are added. Can be improved.

In the above-described embodiment, the first start port 330 is constituted by a pocket-type winning port having a fixed opening degree. However, as with the second start port 332, a pair of left and right movable pieces are provided. The electric opening and closing winning device may be configured to change the ease of winning a prize to the first start port 330 based on the gaming state. However, if the opening degree of the first start port 330 is always kept constant as in the present example, it is possible to enhance the gameability by combining different types of start ports.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a specific gaming state is reached, the winning probability in the normal lottery, that is, the rate at which the movable piece 331 is released is increased, and the fluctuation time of the normal symbol display 928 is shortened, whereby the second start opening Although an example of increasing the ease of winning a prize at 332 has been shown, only the winning probability in the normal lottery may be increased without changing the variation time.

In the above embodiment, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are changed according to the winning order of the game balls with respect to the first starting port 330 or the second starting port 332.
The first special symbol change may be executed before the second special symbol change. However, if it is made to change in order of winning as in this example, even if there is a difference in the ease of winning with respect to the two start ports 330 and 332, it will be digested in order in proportion to the ease of winning. For example, it is possible to suppress the monotonous effect due to the fact that only one of the processes is left and a display mode corresponding to the process is continuously derived.

Further, in the above embodiment, the peripheral board 811 performs effects such as the variation of the decorative symbol sequence and the development effect.
In the above, what is executed, that is, what controls the effect display based on the command transmitted from the main control board 94 is shown. However, all the effect processing may be performed on the main control board 94. However, if the rendering process is shared as in the above embodiment, the processing burden on the main control board 94 can be reduced and these processes can be further diversified.

Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 is shown as a gaming machine, but the gaming machine other than the pachinko machine, for example, a pachislot machine, a gaming machine that is a fusion of a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine, etc. The invention can be applied.
