Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of executing a re-variation effect that re-varies a winning symbol derived in a symbol variation game.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is a type of gaming machine, a jackpot game is given after a symbol combination that can recognize a big hit is derived in a symbol variation game performed by changing a plurality of types of symbols. . In a conventional pachinko gaming machine, when a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a probability variation symbol is derived in a symbol variation game, a probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as a “probability variation state”) is given after the jackpot game ends. It is like that. If the probability change state is granted, the lottery probability state of the jackpot lottery will be changed to a high probability state, and it will be easy to win the jackpot, so the player always expects to win the jackpot with the probability change state granted Have a game.

  In such a pachinko gaming machine, a temporary jackpot symbol combination is derived, and the derived temporary jackpot symbol combination is re-varied to derive a final jackpot symbol combination (so-called re-playing). A gaming machine that can execute a lottery effect) has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). In the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 1, a temporary jackpot symbol made up of a probabilistic non-deterministic symbol (hereinafter referred to as “chance symbol”) that can be non-deterministically recognized that a promiscuous state is given after the jackpot game ends. By deriving the combination, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the derived chance symbol can be changed (promoted) to the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a probable change symbol through re-variation production, and the player's expectation for the promising big hit Is increasing.

JP 2004-65555 A

  However, the re-variation effect in the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 1 is promoted from a chance symbol to a probabilistic symbol on the condition that a promising big hit that gives a promising state is given in the big hit lottery (internal lottery) of whether or not it is a big hit. It is designed to be executed in a pattern. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 1, when a non-probable big hit that does not give a probable change state is won, the re-variation effect cannot be executed in a manner of being promoted to a probable change symbol. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine of Patent Document 1, the chance that the re-changing effect is performed with the “promoting pattern” from the chance symbol to the probability variation symbol cannot be increased more than the chance to win the probability variation jackpot in the jackpot lottery, There was a problem that the player's expectation for the re-variable performance could not be further increased.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a problem existing in the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of enhancing a player's expectation with respect to a re-variation effect. .

And a game execution means capable of executing a symbol variation game. In the symbol variation game, after deriving a temporary symbol capable of recognizing a hit, the final symbol is derived by re-variing the derived temporary symbol. It is possible to execute a re-variation effect to be displayed, and in the re-variation effect , re-variation and derivation of a symbol capable of recognizing a hit can be executed once or a plurality of times. In the case of winning a winning game, a winning game for opening the big prize opening after the end of the symbol variation game is given. After the winning game, the winning probability state for winning the winning in the winning lottery is changed from a low probability state to a high probability. Special to change the state In grantable gaming machine game state, and it determines the determined symbol, the symbol determining means for determining a first provisional symbol as a temporary symbol to derive first in the symbol variation game, determine symbol the symbol determination means has determined And, based on the combination of the initial temporary symbols, the number of re-variations for re-variation and derivation of the symbols, and the temporary symbol to be derived after re-variation of the initial temporary symbols when the number of re-variation times is multiple Content determining means for determining the specific effect content of the re-variation effect including the intermediate temporary design, the confirmed symbol determined by the symbol determining means, and the effect of the re-change effect determined by the initial temporary symbol and the content determining means controlling the game execution unit according to the contents, the game control means for executing the re-variation effect, wherein the the symbol, the specific game state grant Including a specific symbol that can be definitely recognized and a non-specific symbol that can be non-deterministically recognized that the specific gaming state may be given. A non-specific symbol and a second non-specific symbol set with a higher possibility that the specific gaming state is given compared to the first non-specific symbol, and the symbol determining means is configured to specify the specific symbol as the confirmed symbol. If you design or determining the second non-specific symbols, the determined configured to enable the first non-specific symbols as the temporary symbol Rutotomoni, the content determining unit, when determining a plurality of times as the re-variation time count The gist is to determine an intermediate tentative symbol to be derived by the re-variation effect from intermediate tentative symbols previously associated with a combination of the determined symbol and the initial tentative symbol determined by the symbol determining means .

The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the number of re-variation and the intermediate temporary symbol are associated with each combination of the fixed symbol and the first temporary symbol, and the re-variation It further includes a re-variation pattern storage means for storing a plurality of types of re-variation patterns that can specify the specific effect contents of the effect, and the content determination means is based on the confirmed symbol and the initial provisional symbol determined by the symbol determination means. The re-variation pattern is selected to determine the specific content of the re-variation effect, and the specific game state may be given to the re-variation pattern as the intermediate temporary symbol Is a symbol set lower than the fixed symbol, and a symbol set with the possibility that the specific gaming state is given is the same as the first temporary symbol or higher than the first temporary symbol. Is that the gist of that.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect , a notification effect for notifying whether or not the specific gaming state is given after the winning game is ended during the winning game. The performance execution means further includes an executable performance execution means, and the performance execution means determines the first non-specific symbol as the confirmed symbol when the symbol determination means determines the second non-specific symbol as the fixed symbol. Compared with the case where it did, it makes it the summary that it was comprised so that the said notification effect could be performed easily.

It is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects. In the following description, the decorative symbol may be simply referred to as “decorative diagram”, and the symbol variation game by the decorative diagram performed as a display effect in the effect display device 22 may be denoted as “decorative symbol variation game”. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 functions as a game executing means, an effect executing means, and a game effect executing means.

  In FIG. 2, an 8-segment special-purpose display 23 is provided at the lower left (as viewed from the player) of the game area H1 of the game board YB. The special symbol display 23 performs a symbol variation game in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. Then, in the symbol variation game, the special symbol display 23 displays a special symbol by varying a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter may be referred to as “special symbols”) in one row. This special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, the symbol variation game played using the special symbol on the special symbol display 23 may be referred to as a “special symbol variation game”.

  On the special symbol display 23, the symbol variation display is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the effect display device 22 starts the display of the decorative symbols at the same time as the start of the symbol variation game. Before the game ends, the ornament symbols are temporarily displayed in a swinging variation state. The decorative design is displayed with a fixed stop. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the special symbol display 23 and the effect display device 22, a special symbol variation game and a display effect (decoration symbol variation game) related to the special symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special symbol and ornament are simultaneously displayed). The symbol is displayed with a fixed stop).

  In the present embodiment, the special figure display 23 selects one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery from a plurality of types of special figures, and the selected special figure is displayed when the symbol variation game ends. The fixed stop is displayed. The multiple types of special symbols are classified into 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and one type of outlier symbol that can recognize a hit. When a big hit symbol is displayed, a big hit game as a win game is given to the player. The jackpot game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 displays a pattern imitating a plurality of types of numbers for each column as a decorative drawing. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH) is configured with a display area larger than that of the special figure indicator 23 and the decorative drawing is compared with the special figure. And it is displayed much larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or the loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22. When the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22 are the same symbol, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result, a symbol that can recognize a hit) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns displayed on the effect display device 22 are confirmed and stopped, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, two types of decoration patterns each including a plurality of decoration drawings that are variably displayed in the decoration pattern variation game of the effect display device 22 are prepared. In the effect display device 22, the decorative pattern variation game is executed by displaying the decorative drawings belonging to any one of the two types of decorative pattern patterns in a variable manner in all rows.

The second decorative pattern of the present embodiment does not include a black symbol.

  In the present embodiment, the red symbol (a jackpot symbol combination made up of red symbols) is a specific symbol that can be definitely recognized that a probable change state is given after the jackpot game ends. In addition, the blue symbol (a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol) and the black symbol (a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a black symbol) are uncertainly recognized that a probable change state may be given after the jackpot game ends. Possible non-specific symbols. In this embodiment, the blue symbol is the first non-specific symbol, and the black symbol is the second non-specific symbol and the specified symbol. The probability variation state that can be given after the big hit game in the present embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative symbols are variably displayed along the predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) in each column of the effect display device 22 when the symbol variation game is started. Then, when the symbol variation game starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 22 The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols). If the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state (reach) can be recognized from the symbol combination ([1 ↓ 1] etc., “↓” indicates that the symbol is changing). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative symbols in the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are stopped and displayed as the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) This is a state in which the decorative design of is variably displayed. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first displays the decorative symbols is the first stop display column, and the right column that displays the decorative symbols is then stopped. The second stop display row is the third stop display row, and finally the middle row where the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed is the third stop display row.

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

It is a function to give. In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot. Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a variable function that provides a variable time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “variable”) state. When the variable state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open / close the opening / closing blade 26b is shortened, and the probability of hitting the ordinary game is increased from the normal probability to the high probability A fluctuating entrance rate improvement state is given as a privilege. In the improved entrance rate, the open / close blades 26b are opened and closed in an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game.

  In other words, when a normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26b is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 0.3 seconds or 1.0 seconds have elapsed since opening. . On the other hand, when the normal game is won in the variable state, the opening / closing blade 26b is opened three times, and the open state is maintained until 1.5 seconds have elapsed since the opening in one opening. It is like that. That is, the opening / closing blade 26b is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the normal state is applied. Even before the specified time elapses after opening, the opening / closing blade 26b is closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) has entered. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 26b is closed when an upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered even if the ball has not been opened a predetermined number of times. Further, the variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are executed or until a big hit is generated before the predetermined number of times is reached. It should be noted that the number of times that the short / short state is given varies depending on the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot.

  In the present embodiment, the shortage state in which the opening time per unit time of the opening / closing blade 26b after the end of the big hit game is the opening time increasing state. In the variable speed state (open time increasing state), the total time for which the opening and closing blades 26b are opened by one ordinary map increases compared to the non-short time state.

Next, the jackpot game defined in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail based on FIG.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display 23 in the symbol variation game and the game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect is finished, the round game in which the special winning opening device 27 (large winning entrance door 27a) is opened is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined number of rounds as the upper limit (15 rounds in the present embodiment). One round game is performed until the special prize opening door 27a of the special prize opening device 27 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (in the present embodiment, once), and during the single round game, the special prize opening device 27 is provided. Is released until a prescribed number (the upper limit number of entered balls) of game balls wins or until a prescribed time (round game time) elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is ended.

  Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit is won by the big hit lottery, one big hit game is determined from the four types of big hit games shown in FIG. 4, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become so. Of the four types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. . In the present embodiment, 100 types of special symbol jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display 23 are classified into four groups of symbol A, symbol C, symbol D and symbol H as shown in FIG. . As shown in FIG. 4, 45 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display 23 are distributed to the symbol A. Similarly, 12 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display 23 are distributed to the symbol C. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display 23, five types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol D. Of the jackpot symbols displayed on the special symbol display 23, 38 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to the symbol H.

  The jackpot game given when any of the jackpot symbols classified into symbols A, C and D is displayed on the special symbol display 23 has a specified round number (the upper limit number of round games) of “ It is a 15 round jackpot game that is set to “15 times” and is given a certainty change state after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol A is indicated as “first probability variation 15R jackpot game” (“R” indicates “round”). Further, the jackpot game based on the symbol C is indicated as “variable cut 100 times probability variation 15R jackpot game”. The jackpot game based on the symbol D is indicated as “second probability variation 15R jackpot game”. Also, the big hit (big hit type) based on symbol A is shown as “first probability variation 15R big hit”, the big hit based on symbol C (big hit type) is shown as “variable 100 cut probability variation 15R big hit”, and big hit based on symbol D (Big hit type) is indicated as “second probability variation 15R big hit”. In the first probability variation 15R jackpot game, the odd-length variation 100R probability variation 15R jackpot game, and the second probability variation 15R jackpot game (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "probability variation 15R jackpot game"), The upper limit number of balls (specified number) is set to “9 balls”. Further, in 15 round games in the probability variation 15R big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 27a of the big prize opening device 27 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the first probability variation 15R big hit and the second probability variation 15R big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state and the variable state are given until the end of the probability variation state after the big hit game is finished. It has become. On the other hand, in the probability change 15R big hit with 100 short cuts, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the upper limit is the probability change state (no limit) and the predetermined number of times (100 in this embodiment) after the big hit game ends. A variable state is given as the number of times.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol H is displayed on the special symbol display 23 is set to “15” as the specified number of rounds, and the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. No (giving a non-probability change state) 15 rounds jackpot game. Hereinafter, the big hit (hit type) based on the symbol H is referred to as “non-probable variation 15R big hit game”. In addition, in the non-probability 15R big hit, the upper limit number of balls (count number) of one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the non-probability 15R big hit, it is set to open the grand prize winning door 27a “once” in each round game. In addition, in the non-probability 15R big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) is changed as the upper limit number without giving the probable change state after the big hit game ends. Only the short state is granted.

  In each jackpot game described above, the opening time, the round game time of one round game, and the ending time are set as shown in FIG. Since each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls are entered, the round game time of one round game shown in FIG. 4 is the maximum time.

  In addition, “low accuracy + no change”, “low accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change” shown in the “game state at big hit” in FIG. The four states ([1] to [3]) indicate the following states, respectively. The state of “low accuracy + no change” indicates a non-probability change state and a non-change change state, and is a “normal state” in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. The state of “low accuracy + variation” indicates a non-probability variation state and a variation state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state of “low accuracy + variation” is a non-probability variation 15R big hit. Produced by winning. The state of “high accuracy + no change” indicates a state of probability change and a non-change state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + no change” is cut 100 times. After winning the certainty variation 15R jackpot and ending the corresponding jackpot game, after the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) the symbol variation game has ended, the variable state ends. Produced. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + variation” indicates a probability variation state and a variation state, and in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, “high accuracy + variation exists”. Is generated by winning one of the first probability variation 15R big hit, the 100th variation short probability variation 15R big hit, and the second probability variation 15R big hit.

  Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the gaming state of “high probability + change” is further combined with the effect mode set in the “high probability + change” gaming state. It is classified into three types: “accuracy + variation [1]”, “high accuracy + variation [2]”, and “high accuracy + variation [3]”.

  Here, a plurality of effect modes prepared in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, each effect mode displays a game state notification image set for each effect mode, and after the end of each jackpot game, the winning probability state that wins the jackpot in the jackpot lottery is a high probability state (that is, a probability change). State) or a low-probability state (that is, a non-probability change state). In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, from the contents of the gaming state notification image, the “high probability confirmation mode MK1” and “high certainty confirmation” that can definitely recognize that the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a probable change state. A “mode MK2” and a “normal mode MN” and a “high probability suggestion mode MS” are provided that can be recognized indeterminately that the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be in a probable change state. In the present embodiment, in the normal mode MN, the high accuracy suggestion mode MS, and the high accuracy determination mode MK1, the decorative symbol variation game is performed using the decorative drawings belonging to the first decoration group, while the high accuracy determination mode. In MK2, the decorative symbol variation game is played using the decorative drawings belonging to the second decorative group. From the above, in this embodiment, the game state notification image and / or the decorative symbols are different, so that the execution mode of the symbol variation game is different for each effect mode.

  In addition, “highly accurate + variable [1]” indicates that the “highly accurate suggestion mode MS” is set as the production mode in addition to the probability variable state and the variable state. . The state of “high accuracy + variation [1]” is created by winning 100 wins with a probability variation of 15R. In addition, “high accuracy + variation [2]” indicates that in addition to the probability variation state and the variation state, “high accuracy confirmation mode MK1” is set as the production mode. . The state of “high accuracy + variation [2]” is created by winning the first probability variation 15R jackpot. In addition, “high accuracy + variation [3]” indicates that in addition to the probability variation state and the variation state, “high accuracy confirmation mode MK2” is set as the production mode. . The state of “high accuracy + variation [3]” is created by winning the second probability variation 15R jackpot.

  With such a configuration, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, for each jackpot type (that is, a jackpot symbol of a special figure), an effect mode set after the jackpot game is associated with each other. In other words, in the first probability variation 15R big hit (symbol A), the “high probability determination mode MK1” is set as the effect mode after the big hit game ends. In addition, in the 100 short cut probability variation 15R big hit (symbol C) and the non-probability variation 15R big hit (symbol H), the “high probability suggestion mode MS” is set as an effect mode after the big hit game ends. Further, in the second probability variation 15R big hit (symbol D), the “high probability determination mode MK2” is set as the effect mode after the big hit game ends.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first probability variation 15R big hit based on the symbol A and the second probability variation 15R big hit based on the symbol D are the effect modes (the high certainty confirmation mode MK1 or the high certainty confirmation mode) set after the big hit game ends. It is a big hit that can be definitely recognized from MK2) that the probability variation state is given. On the other hand, the 100-variation probability variation 15R jackpot based on the symbol C and the non-probability variation 15R jackpot based on the symbol H are given a certain variation state from the effect mode (high-probability suggestion mode MS) set after the jackpot game ends. It is a big hit that can be recognized indeterminately.

  In this embodiment, the first probability variation 15R big hit based on the symbol A and the second probability variation 15R big hit based on the symbol D become the specific hit (specific jackpot) that gives the probability variation state after the big hit game ends, and the non-probable variation based on the symbol H The 15R big hit becomes a non-specific hit (non-specific big hit) that does not give a certain change state after the big hit game ends. In the present embodiment, the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK1 is the first production mode, and the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK2 is the second production mode. Further, in the present embodiment, the first certain variation 15R big hit based on the symbol A becomes the first specific big hit, and the second certain variation 15R based on the symbol D becomes the second specific big hit and the specific big hit.

Next, the transition mode of the effect mode in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the transition mode of the production mode is determined to be a big hit, and the production mode to be changed differs according to the type of the big hit that has been won. By this transition of the effect mode, the player infers whether or not the winning probability of winning the big hit in the big win lottery is high from the effect mode during the stay, that is, the gaming state notification image displayed in the effect mode. It is supposed to be. Note that “stay in the effect mode” refers to a state in which a predetermined effect mode is set and a gaming state notification image corresponding to the set effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 22.

Hereinafter, the effect mode of this embodiment will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the effect modes are different in the four effect modes. In the production mode of the present embodiment, the shortage state is not given, and the winning probability state (winning probability) for winning the big hit in the big win lottery is a high probability state (high probability) or a low probability state (low probability). The normal mode MN for staying when the user is staying is set. In the production mode of the present embodiment, a shortage state is given, and a high probability suggestion mode MS that stays when the winning probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability state or a low probability state is set. . In addition, the production mode of the present embodiment is provided with a variable state, and a high-confirmation confirmation mode MK1 and a high-confirmation confirmation mode MK2 that stay when the winning probability lottery win state is a high probability state. Is set.

  The high-confirmation confirmation mode MK1 and the high-confirmation confirmation mode MK2 definitely suggest to the player that the winning probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability state, that is, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a probabilistic state. (Informing) High-definition confirmation (certain change confirmation) effect. On the other hand, the normal performance mode and the high probability suggestion mode MS are effects that are executed regardless of whether the winning probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability state or a low probability state. In other words, the normal mode MN and the high-probability suggestion mode MS suggest (notify) to the player whether the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a probable change state or a non-probability change state. These two performance modes suggest the possibility of being in a probabilistic state.

  The above-described four performance modes suggest the level of expectation of being in the probability variation state (the magnitude of the possibility of being in the probability variation state), and are effects that are distinguished by the level. In the present embodiment, the normal mode MN <the high accuracy suggestion mode MS <the high accuracy determination mode MK1 and the high accuracy determination mode MK2 are positioned in the order of the effect mode having a high expectation level in the probability variation state.

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

Hereinafter, transition modes of the effect mode will be described.
The normal mode MN is an effect mode in which the user stays at “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change”. When the first probability variation 15R jackpot is won during the stay in the normal mode MN, the game proceeds to the jackpot game MK1 through the jackpot game. In addition, when the normal mode MN is staying, if the winning change is 100 rounds of odds / losss 15R big hit or non-probable big 15R big hit, the game goes to the high probability suggestion mode MS via the big hit game. Furthermore, when the second probability variation 15R big hit is won during the stay of the normal mode MN, the mode shifts to the high probability determination mode MK2.

  The high-accuracy confirmation mode MK1 is an effect mode in which the user stays when “high-accuracy + variable [2]”. Then, when staying in the high probability determination mode MK1, if the winning change is 100 rounds of odds / losss 15R big hit or non-probable change 15R big hit, the game goes to the high suggestion mode MS via the big hit game. Further, when the second probability variation 15R big hit is won while staying in the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK1, the process proceeds to the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK2. The end condition of the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK1 is “one of the first positive variation 15R big hit, the second positive variation 15R big hit game, the variable 100 cut probability variation 15R big hit, and the non-probable variation 15R big hit in big hit lottery. ”And is continued until winning the 15R big hit in the big hit lottery.

  The high-accuracy determination mode MK2 is an effect mode in which the user stays when “high-accuracy + variable [3]”. Then, when staying in the high probability determination mode MK2, if the winning change is 100 rounds of odds / losss 15% big hit or non-probable variation 15R big hit, the game goes to the high probability suggestion mode MS via the big hit game. Further, when the first probability variation 15R big hit is won while staying in the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK2, the process proceeds to the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK1. The end condition of the high-accuracy confirmation mode MK2 is “one of the first probability variation 15R big hit, the second probability variation 15R big hit game, the variable 100 cut probability variation 15R big hit, and the non-probable variation 15R big hit in the big hit lottery. ”And is continued until winning the 15R big hit in the big hit lottery.

  The high-accuracy suggestion mode MS is an effect mode in which the user stays at “low accuracy + variation” and “high accuracy + variation [1]”. That is, the high-impact suggestion mode MS that has been transitioned by winning 100 wins / losses of 100 odds / shorts of change has a game state of “highly probable + variable [1]”. On the other hand, the high-accuracy suggestion mode MS shifted by winning the non-probable variation 15R big hit becomes “low probability + variable”. And while staying in the high probability suggestion mode MS, if you win the 1st probability variation 15R jackpot, go to the jackpot game MK1 through the jackpot game, if you win the second probability variation 15R jackpot, after the jackpot game, Transition to high-accuracy confirmation mode MK2. Termination conditions for the high-accuracy suggestion mode MS are: “Winning the 1st probability variation 15R big hit, 2nd probability variation 15R big hit, 100 times variable variation 15R big hit and non-probable variation 15R big hit in big hit lottery” and “Big hit game It is set that any one of “an end of the variable state given after the end” is established. For this reason, when shifting to the high accuracy suggestion mode MS by winning either the probability variation 15R big hit or the non-probability variation 15R big hit, the transition to the normal mode MN is completed when the variation state ends. . As a result, the normal mode MN that shifts through the high-accuracy suggestion mode MS still has a possibility of a probability variation state, and is in a probability variation latency state.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. (Control command) is output. Also, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, and an audio / lamp control board 33 are mounted on the back side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32 and the sound / lamp control board 33 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 22 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound / lamp control board 33 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. Etc.). The sound / lamp control board 33 controls sound output modes (sound output timing, etc.) of the various speakers 17a to 17c based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. .

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a main control ROM 30b that stores a main control program for the main control CPU 30a and a main control RAM 30c that can write and read necessary data. A start port sensor SE1 and a count switch SE2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected with a special figure display 23, a special figure hold display Ra, and a general figure hold display Rb. The main control CPU 30a is connected with a big prize opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main control CPU 30a is connected to the normal symbol display 24 and the gate sensor SE3.

  Also, the main control CPU 30a is a jackpot determination random number (for special symbol), special figure distribution random number, reach determination random number, variation pattern distribution random number, universal symbol determination random number (for normal symbol), etc. The values of various random numbers are updated every predetermined cycle, and the updated values are stored (set) in the setting area of the main control RAM 30c to rewrite the values before the update. Further, the main control CPU 30a updates a timer for measuring time. The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various types of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  The big hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) as to whether or not to make a big hit, and within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, a total of 1697 types from “0” to “1696”). The main control CPU 30a is updated by incrementing the numerical value every predetermined cycle (every 4 ms) so that a numerical value of (integer) can be taken. The special figure distribution random number is a random number used when determining a big hit symbol as a special figure to be displayed on the special figure display 23 when the big hit is won in the big hit lottery. In addition, the main control CPU 30a can set the special map distribution random number so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 100 integers from “0” to “99”). A numerical value is incremented by 1 and updated every predetermined period (every 4 ms). Each of the 100 special figure distribution random numbers is associated with each of the above-mentioned 100 types of special bonus jackpot symbols.

  Further, the reach determination random number is a random number used in reach determination (reach lottery) to determine whether or not a reach effect is to be formed when a big win is not won in the big win lottery, that is, in the case of a loss. Further, the fluctuation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when selecting and determining a fluctuation pattern. The random number for determining per common figure is a random number used in a lottery per general figure (determination per common figure) as to whether or not per common figure. In the present embodiment, the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number are acquired at the timing when the game ball enters the start winning opening 26. In the present embodiment, the random number for determining per game is acquired when the game ball passes through the operating gate 28.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a big hit determination value, a common hit determination value, and a reach determination value. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery (big hit lottery) to determine whether or not the jackpot, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number (all 1697 integers from 0 to 1696). . Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (50 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be greater than the number (5 in this embodiment). In addition, the standard figure hit determination value is a reference value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not to show a normal figure. It is determined from the inside. Further, the reach determination value is a determination value used in reach determination (reach lottery) for determining whether or not a reach effect is to be executed when the symbol variation game is lost.

  In addition to the various determination values and the main control program, the main control ROM 30b stores variation patterns as a plurality of types of effect patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production. That is, the variation pattern can specify the effect content and the effect time (variation time) of the symbol variation game from when the special symbol starts to vary until the special symbol is confirmed and stopped.

  The variation patterns are classified into a variation pattern for a big hit effect and a variation pattern for an outlier effect. The variation pattern for the big hit effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the big winning lottery is won. Also, the variation pattern for the loss effect is a variation pattern that is selected in the case of a loss that is not won in the big hit lottery. Then, the fluctuation pattern for the offending effect is formed for reach, and after the reach effect is performed, the fluctuation pattern for the offending reach effect that is finally set to be off, and for the offending effect that is set to be off without forming the reach. There are fluctuation patterns.

  Note that the jackpot effect performed based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the jackpot symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. Note that the reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol on the effect display device 22 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. It is.

  Hereinafter, the fluctuation pattern stored in the main control ROM 30b in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 shows only a part of the variation pattern stored in the main control ROM 30b.

  In the present embodiment, a variation pattern P1 is prepared as a variation pattern for a loss effect. The variation pattern P1 “outlier normal variation” indicates that after the start of the symbol variation game, the symbols in each column are stopped according to a predetermined variation stop order (for example, left column → right column → middle column). This is an off-line effect that causes the design to be derived.

  In the present embodiment, the fluctuation pattern P2A, the fluctuation pattern P3A, the fluctuation pattern P4A, the fluctuation pattern P5A, the fluctuation pattern P6A, the fluctuation pattern P7A, the fluctuation pattern P8A, and the fluctuation pattern P11 are prepared as the fluctuation patterns for the outlier reach effect. Has been. In the present embodiment, as the variation pattern for the big hit effect, the variation pattern P2B, the variation pattern P3B, the variation pattern P4B, the variation pattern P5B, the variation pattern P6B, the variation pattern P7B, the variation pattern P8B, the variation pattern P9, and the variation pattern. P10 is prepared.

  The variation pattern P2A and the variation pattern P2B (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as “variation pattern P2”) are variation patterns including normal reach as a reach effect. The variation pattern P2B is a variation pattern including a “slip effect” performed during reach formation in addition to normal reach. The “slip effect” is a symbol sequence that is stopped and displayed at the end of the symbol sequence that forms the reach state. A symbol that is different from the symbols in the other columns that have already been stopped is temporarily stopped and then stopped. This is a game effect that forms a reach state by scrolling a predetermined number of symbols so as to slide the symbols.

  Variation pattern P3A and variation pattern P3B (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “variation pattern P3”), variation pattern P4A and variation pattern P4B (hereinafter sometimes collectively denoted as “variation pattern P4”), variation pattern P5A and the fluctuation pattern P5B (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “fluctuation pattern P5”) are fluctuation patterns including “super reach” as the reach effect. After reaching the normal reach, the Super Reach is in the process of changing the decoration of the remaining one row, or once stopped, then, for example, a certain character appears and moves (develops) to “XX Reach”, which is called the name of the appearing character. Reach production is performed with production contents to derive decorative designs. Note that, in the variation patterns P3 to P5, super-reach in a mode in which the character A (hereinafter, may be referred to as “character A”) appears is performed.

  The variation pattern P4 is a variation pattern including “slip effect” in addition to super reach. The variation pattern P5 is a variation pattern including a “reverse rotation effect” performed at the time of reach formation in addition to the super reach. “Reverse rotation effect” is a temporary stop display of a symbol different from the symbols of the other columns already stopped and displayed in the symbol sequence to be stopped and displayed last among the symbol sequences forming the reach state. This is a game effect that forms a reach state by scrolling a predetermined number of symbols in the opposite direction to the normal time.

  Variation pattern P6A and variation pattern P6B (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “variation pattern P6”), variation pattern P7A and variation pattern P7B (hereinafter sometimes collectively denoted as “variation pattern P7”), variation pattern P8A and variation pattern P8B (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as “variation pattern P8”) “Super Reach” in which character B (hereinafter also referred to as “character B”) appears as a reach effect. ”. The variation pattern P7 is a variation pattern including “slip effect” in addition to super reach. The variation pattern P8 is a variation pattern including a “reverse rotation effect” performed at the time of reach formation in addition to the super reach.

  The variation pattern P9 is a variation pattern including a super reach performed in a manner in which a teammate character and an opponent character battle (battle) and finally win as a reach effect. Similarly, the variation pattern P10 is a variation pattern including a super reach that is performed in such a manner that a teammate character and an opponent character battle (battle) and eventually lose as a reach effect. In addition, the variation pattern P11 is a variation pattern including a super reach performed as a reach effect in a mode in which a teammate character and an opponent character battle (battle) and finally draw. In the present embodiment, the variation patterns P9 to P11 are variation patterns that can be selected only when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “high accuracy + variable [3]” (high accuracy determination mode MK2). Has been.

  And in this embodiment, the big hit reliability (big hit expectation degree) to which a big hit game is given according to the production contents of reach production is made different. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the super reach is set to have a higher jackpot reliability than the normal reach. The jackpot reliability is determined in accordance with the distribution mode when the variation pattern in which each reach is performed is divided from the variation pattern for the reach effect.

  That is, in order to increase the reliability of the jackpot of the reach production, the reach production in the case of outlier reach with respect to the ratio of the reach production (the overall ratio that appears in the case of outreach and outlier). What is necessary is just to distribute a fluctuation pattern so that the ratio which appears may be reduced. Thus, by varying the big hit reliability, when the reach is formed and the reach effect is performed, the player's sense of expectation for the big hit can be changed according to the type of the reach effect. Note that, in the present embodiment, the production content of “svelling + normal reach” based on the variation pattern P2B is positioned as a finalizing effect for determining the big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the variation patterns P2B to P8B for the jackpot effect are re-varied from the temporary jackpot symbol combination as the temporary symbol derived (temporarily stopped display) in the effect display device 22 as a confirmed symbol. The variation pattern is such that a re-variation effect can be executed as a state notification effect for deriving (final stop display) a final jackpot symbol combination.

  The re-variation effect that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a normal re-lottery effect in which “1” is set as the number of re-variations for re-variation and derivation of the jackpot symbol combination, and a jackpot symbol combination There is a specific re-lottery effect in which “2 times” is set as the number of re-variations for re-variation and derivation. The specific re-lottery effect includes a first specific re-lottery effect and a second specific re-lottery effect in which the execution modes of the re-variation effects are different from each other. The normal re-lottery effect is performed in such a manner that the temporary jackpot symbol combination once stopped and displayed is changed again and then the final jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and stopped. In addition, each specific re-lottery effect re-fluctuates the temporary jackpot symbol combination that has been temporarily stopped, then once again stops and displays the temporary jackpot symbol combination, and further changes the temporary jackpot symbol combination again and again. After that, the final jackpot symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop display.

  In addition, the re-variation effect that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment includes, after the re-lottery effect, after the re-lottery effect, in addition to the re-lottery effect (the normal re-lottery effect and each specific re-lottery effect). There is a “reversal hit effect” that switches the symbol combination of big hits to a confirmed symbol.

  Here, the execution mode of the normal re-lottery effect and the specific re-lottery effect that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Note that “↓” in FIG. 8 indicates a state in which the symbols are variably displayed.

First, the normal re-lottery effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8A, in the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH), a temporary jackpot symbol combination (for example, a blue symbol [222]) is used as a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect. Is temporarily stopped (FIG. 8B). Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8C, in the effect display device 22, the temporary jackpot symbol combination is changed again and the final jackpot symbol combination (for example, the black symbol [666]) is temporarily stopped. Is displayed (FIG. 8D). Thereafter, on the effect display device 22, the jackpot symbol combination once stopped and displayed is confirmed and stopped. In addition, when the “reversal hit effect” is executed, the temporary jackpot symbol combination is once again stopped through the normal re-lottery effect, and the temporary jackpot symbol combination is switched to the final symbol display. It has become.

Next, the specific re-lottery effect will be described.
Similar to the normal re-lottery effect, in the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH), a temporary jackpot symbol combination (for example, a blue symbol [222]) is once used as a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect. The display is stopped (FIG. 8B). Next, in the effect display device 22, the temporary jackpot symbol combination is changed again, and the temporary jackpot symbol combination (for example, the black symbol [666]) is temporarily stopped and displayed (FIG. 8D). Subsequently, in the effect display device 22, the temporary jackpot symbol combination is changed again and again, and the final jackpot symbol combination confirmed symbol (for example, the red symbol [777]) is temporarily stopped and displayed. In the effect display device 22, the jackpot symbol combination once stopped and displayed is confirmed and stopped. And in this embodiment, in the 1st specific re-lottery effect and the 2nd specific re-lottery effect, the re-lottery mode of the symbol at the time of changing the temporary jackpot symbol combination again and again is different. More specifically, in the first specific re-drawing effect, when the temporary jackpot symbol combination is changed again and again, the symbols in each row are changed as if they are rotated in the vertical direction. Further, in the second specific re-lottery effect, when the temporary jackpot symbol combination is changed again and again, the symbols in each row are changed as if rotating in the horizontal direction. In addition, when the “reversal per stage effect” is executed, the temporary jackpot symbol combination is temporarily displayed again after each specific re-drawing effect, and the temporary jackpot symbol combination is switched to the confirmed symbol and displayed. It has become.

  In the following description, the temporary jackpot symbol combination (decorative diagram) that is temporarily stopped (derived) in the re-variation effect during the decorative symbol variation game is indicated as “first temporary symbol” and is temporarily stopped after the second time. The temporary jackpot symbol combination (decoration) to be (derived) is indicated as “intermediate temporary symbol”. In addition, the symbol combination (decorative diagram) of the big hit or the off which is finally stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol variation game is indicated as “determined symbol”. In this embodiment, when an effect per reverse rotation is executed after the end of the normal re-lottery effect, the first temporary symbol is once again stopped and displayed through the normal re-lottery effect, and the first temporary symbol once stopped and displayed is reversed. The winning symbol is switched to the final symbol after the winning effect. In the present embodiment, when an effect per reverse rotation is executed after the end of each specific re-lottery effect, the intermediate temporary symbol is temporarily stopped through each specific re-lottery effect, and the temporarily displayed intermediate temporary symbol is displayed. The display is switched to a confirmed symbol through an effect per reverse rotation.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the variation patterns P2B to P8B for the big hit effect, after temporarily displaying the temporary symbols, the re-lottery effect without the reverse effect or the re-lottery effect with the reverse effect. Is executed to derive a definite symbol.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall control CPU 31a. The overall control CPU 31a is connected to the overall control ROM 31b and the overall control RAM 31c. In addition, the overall control CPU 31a outputs various random number values such as a definite symbol distribution random number, a re-variable distribution random number, a detailed primary distribution random number, and a detailed secondary distribution random number at predetermined intervals. The updated value is stored (set) in the setting area of the overall control RAM 31c, and the value before the update is rewritten.

  The fixed symbol distribution random number is a random number for determining a decorative symbol combination to be finally stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol variation game, and is within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, “0” to “ The overall control CPU 31a is updated so as to be able to take numerical values of 166 "(total 167 kinds of integers)". The random number for re-variation distribution is a random number for determining the production contents of the re-variation effect, and is within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 167 different integers from “0” to “166”).

The detailed random number for primary distribution is a random number for determining the content of the re-lottery effect, and is within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 127 integers from “0” to [126]). The overall control CPU 31a updates so that the numerical value of) can be obtained. The detailed secondary distribution random number is a random number for determining the intermediate tentative symbol, and is a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 53 integers from “0” to [52]). The overall control CPU 31a is updated so that

  The promotion effect distribution random number is a random number for determining whether or not the promotion effect can be executed and the start timing (round), and is within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, “0” to “112”). The overall control CPU 31a updates so as to be able to take the numerical values of all 113 types of "". The promotion pattern distribution random number is a random number for determining the development of the promotion effect (the outline of the effect contents), and within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all 137 from “0” to “136”). The overall control CPU 31a is updated so as to be able to take a numerical value of the same integer). The random number for content distribution is a random number for determining the detailed (specific) content of the promotion effect, and within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all 251 from “0” to “250”). The overall control CPU 31a is updated so as to be able to take a numerical value of the same integer). The promotion effect during the big hit game that can be executed in this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  The overall control ROM 31 b stores an overall control program for overall control of the display control board 32 and the sound / lamp control board 33. When receiving various control commands, the overall control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a display control CPU 32a. A display control ROM 32b and a display control RAM 32c are connected to the display control CPU 32a. Further, the effect display device 22 is connected to the display control board 32 (display control CPU 32a). The display control ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the effect display device 22. The display control ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described.
When the game ball enters the start winning opening 26 and receives a detection signal output from the start port sensor SE1 that has detected the game ball, the main control CPU 30a stores the special figure holding memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c. Determines whether or not is less than the upper limit of 4.

  If the result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of special figure hold memory <4), the main control CPU 30a adds +1 (1) to the number of special figure hold memory and rewrites the number of special figure hold memory. Further, the main control CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, and the reach determination random number from the main control RAM 30c, and obtains these values as the special figure pending storage number. Are set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a does not rewrite the special figure holding memory number exceeding the upper limit number and determines the value of the big hit judging random number and the special figure when the determination result of the holding determination is negative (holding memory number = 4). Do not get the random number for distribution.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a reads the jackpot determination random number value stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the special figure holding memory number immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and the read jackpot The value of the random number for determination is compared with the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and a big hit determination (big hit lottery) is performed as a win lottery as to whether or not the big hit. When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for jackpot determination matches the jackpot determination value), the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a jackpot symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game based on the value of the special symbol distribution random number.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the big hit selects and determines one fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation patterns for the big hit effect based on the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 and the type of the big hit symbol of the special figure. .

  Specifically, first, the main control CPU 30a checks the value set in the probability change flag stored in the main control RAM 30c, and based on which type of big hit (big hit game) is the probability change state given? Confirm. In the present embodiment, when any value of “01H” to “03H” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is given, and when “00H” is set. Indicates that the probability variation state is not given. When the probability change flag is set to “01H”, it is indicated that the assigned probability change state is a probability change state given after the end of the game with the odd change 100R probability change 15R big hit game. In addition, when “02H” is set in the probability change flag, it is indicated that the assigned probability change state is a probability change state assigned after the first probability change 15R big hit game ends. Further, when “03H” is set in the probability change flag, it is indicated that the assigned probability change state is a probability change state assigned after the end of the second probability change 15R big hit game.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a confirms the value set in the operation flag stored in the main control RAM 30c, and confirms whether or not the variable state is given. When “01H” is set in the operation flag, it indicates that the variable state is provided. When “00H” is set, the variable state is not provided. Is shown.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a can identify (obtain) the gaming state (variation pattern distribution state) of the pachinko gaming machine 10 from the combination of the value of the probability variation flag and the value of the operation flag. That is, the main control CPU 30a determines that the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “low probability + no change” when the value of the probability change flag is “00H” and the value of the operation flag is “00H”. When the value of the probability change flag is “01H” and the value of the operation flag is “00H”, the main control CPU 30a determines that the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is 100 times shorter and shorter after the probability change 15R big hit game ends. In addition, it is determined that the state is “low accuracy + no change” due to completion of the change state. When the value of the probability variation flag is “01H” and the value of the operation flag is “01H”, the main control CPU 30a has the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 cut 100 times to change the probability variation 15R after the end of the big hit game. In addition, it is grasped that the state of “high accuracy + variation [1]” is not completed. When the value of the probability variation flag is “02H” and the value of the operation flag is “01H”, the main control CPU 30a has the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in a state of “high probability + variable [2]”. And grasp. When the value of the probability variation flag is “03H” and the value of the operation flag is “01H”, the main control CPU 30a has the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in a state of “high probability + variable [3]”. And come to grasp.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has grasped the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 determines a variation pattern based on the grasped gaming state and the determined jackpot symbol (special symbol). That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 30a is a case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “highly probable + variable [3]” and the symbol A as a big hit symbol (special symbol) Alternatively, the variation pattern P9 is determined when the symbol D is determined, and the variation pattern P10 is determined when the symbol C or symbol H is determined as the big hit symbol (special symbol). Further, the main control CPU 30a determines that the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “other than high accuracy + variation [3]” (that is, “low accuracy + no variation”, “high accuracy + no variation”). , “Low accuracy + variation”, “high accuracy + variation [1]” and “high accuracy + variation [2]”) and a big hit symbol (special figure) When the symbol A is determined, any one of the variation patterns P2B to P8B is determined. Further, when the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “high accuracy + variable and other than [3]” and the symbol D is determined as the big hit symbol (special symbol), the main control CPU 30a changes the variation pattern. One of P3B to P8B is determined. Further, the main control CPU 30a is in the case where the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “high accuracy + variable and other than [3]”, and the symbol C or symbol H is determined as the big hit symbol (special symbol) Any one of the variation patterns P3B to P7B is determined.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. When the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative (when the reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off-set symbol (special symbol) that is to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game. In addition, the main control CPU 30a grasps the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 based on the values of the probability variation flag and the operation flag, as in the case of determining the big hit. Then, the main control CPU 30a grasping the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 determines a variation pattern based on the grasped gaming state. That is, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P11 when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “highly accurate + variable [3]”. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines any one of the variation patterns P2A to P8A when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “highly accurate + variable other than [3]”.

  Further, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off-set symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and the pachinko gaming machine 10 A variation pattern (in this embodiment, a variation pattern P1) is determined from the variation patterns for the offending effects regardless of the gaming state.

  The main control CPU 30a having determined the special figure and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. More specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Next, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for instructing a special symbol. The main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 (-1) from the special figure reserved memory number at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the special figure reserved memory number. Then, the main control CPU 30a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and when the variation time determined in the determined variation pattern elapses, the determined special symbol (big hit symbol or outlier symbol) is displayed. Display the confirmed stop.

Next, the control contents during the big hit game will be described as the control contents executed by the main control CPU 30a.
The main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot specified from the jackpot symbol (special symbol) after the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern when the jackpot is determined (when the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative). In response to this, control of the big hit game is started, and a predetermined control command is output to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a), the display control board 32, and the sound / lamp control board 33 at a predetermined timing.

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs an opening command for instructing an opening effect upon the end of the symbol variation game. Next, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing a round effect every time a round game is started. When the round game for the specified number of rounds is completed, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing the ending effect, and ends the big hit game after the ending time set as the ending effect effect time has elapsed. Let

  The main control CPU 30a that ended the big hit game sets “00H” in the probability change flag when the non-probability change 15R big hit is given. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “01H” to the probability variation flag when the probability variation 15R big hit is given 100 times of change, and when the first probability variation 15R big hit is granted, the main control CPU 30a sets “ 02H "is set. Then, the main control CPU 30a sets “03H” in the probability variation flag when the second probability variation 15R big hit is given.

  Further, when providing the variable state, the main control CPU 30a sets “01H” to the operation flag indicating that the variable state is provided. The “probability change flag” and the “operation flag” are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c, and are cleared when a big hit game is awarded (that is, “00H” is set). It is like that.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets the number of operations as the number of times of the symbol variation game to which the variable state is given, when either of the variable variation 100 times probability change 15R big hit or non-probability change 15R big hit is given. Set 100 times. The number of times of change giving the change state is decremented by 1 every time the symbol change game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared (“00H” is set).

  The main control CPU 30a outputs a high-probability designation command and a variable operation command to the general control board 31 (general control CPU 31a) when the game state is changed into the probability change state and the variable state after the big hit game ends. When the variable state is set, only the variable operation command is output to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a).

As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a winning lottery means (big hit lottery means), a winning seed determining means (big hit seed determining means), and an effect pattern determining means.
Next, the control configuration relating to the execution of the symbol variation game performed when the overall control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command from the main control CPU 30a will be described with reference to FIGS.

  More specifically, in the determined symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state “other than high accuracy + variable [3]”, the determined symbol is determined for the combination of the variation pattern P1 for the offending effect and the “outlier symbol”. While the table TK0a is associated, in the “high probability + variable [3]” gaming state, the fixed symbol table TK0b is associated with the combination of the variation pattern P1 for the offending effect and the “missing symbol”. It has been. In addition, in the determined symbol selection table TA, a combination of each gaming state and a symbol other than “out of symbol” is not associated with the determined symbol table.

  In the determined symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state “except for [high accuracy + variable length [3]]”, there is a fixed symbol table TK1 for the combination of the variation patterns P2A to P8A for the outlier reach effect and the “outlier symbol”.

  In the determined symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high accuracy + variable other than [3]”, the determined symbol table TK2 is associated with the combination of the variation pattern P2B for jackpot effect and “symbol A”. On the other hand, the determined symbol table is not associated with other combinations of game state and special figure.

  In the confirmed symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high accuracy + variable other than [3]”, the combination of the variation pattern P3B to P7B for jackpot effect and “symbol A” includes the confirmed symbol table TK3. The combination with “symbol D” is associated with the confirmed symbol table TK4, and the combination with “symbol C or symbol H” is associated with the defined symbol table TK5. On the other hand, in the determined symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high probability + variable [other than [3]”, the combination of the variation pattern P3B to P7B for the big hit effect and the “offset symbol” is a determined symbol. The table is not associated. In addition, in the determined symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high probability + variable [3]”, the fixed symbol table is not associated with the variation patterns P3B to P7B.

  In the confirmed symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high probability + variable [other than [3]”, the combination of the variation pattern P8B and “symbol A” includes the definite symbol table TK6 as “symbol D”. The combination is associated with the fixed symbol table TK4. On the other hand, in the determined symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high accuracy + variable [other than [3]”, the combination of the variation pattern P8B and “symbol C or symbol H” and “out of symbol” The combination is not associated with a fixed symbol table. Further, in the determined symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high probability + variable [3]”, the fixed symbol table is not associated with the variation pattern P8B.

  In the confirmed symbol selection table TA, in the gaming state of “high accuracy + variable [3]”, the combination of the variation pattern P9 and “symbol A” and the combination of “symbol D” includes the confirmed symbol table TK7. On the other hand, the selected symbol table to be selected is not associated with any other combination of gaming state and symbol.

On the other hand, a combination of other game states and special figures is not associated with a fixed symbol table.

  Due to the configuration of the fixed symbol selection table TA as described above, the fixed symbol table TK0a and the fixed symbol table TK0b (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as “determined symbol table TK0”) are normal fluctuations that do not form a reach. This is a fixed symbol table that can be selected when the variation pattern P1 is determined. The fixed symbol table TK1 is a fixed symbol table that can be selected only when any of the variation patterns P2A to P8A is determined. The fixed symbol table TK2 is a fixed symbol table that can be selected only when the variation pattern P2B is determined.

Therefore, the fixed symbol tables TK7 to TK9 are determined symbol tables that are selected when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “high probability + variable [3]” (that is, the high probability fixed mode MK2).

  Next, the fixed symbol tables TK0 to TK9 stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The fixed symbol tables TK0 to TK9 are tables that are referred to by the overall control CPU 31a when determining a symbol combination of decorative symbols to be finally stopped and displayed as a fixed symbol in a decorative symbol variation game. In FIG. 10, the numbers described in the column “determined symbols” in the confirmed symbol table TK <b> 0 a and the confirmed symbol tables TK <b> 1 to TK <b> 6 indicate the numbers of the decorative symbols belonging to the first decorative symbol group. Further, the numbers described in the “determined symbol” column in the confirmed symbol table TK0b and the confirmed symbol tables TK7 to TK9 indicate the numbers of the ornaments belonging to the second decorative symbol group.

  As shown in FIG. 10, each of the confirmed symbol tables TK0 to TK9 is associated with a confirmed symbol and a predetermined number of random numbers for determining the symbol allocation is allocated to each confirmed symbol.

  More specifically, the fixed symbol table TK0a and the fixed symbol table TK0b are fixed symbol tables that are selected only when the variation pattern P1 for the non-reach effect is determined. The confirmed symbol table TK0a and the confirmed symbol table TK0b are associated with outlier symbols (for example, [123] and the like) that do not include the symbols forming the reach, and the value of the fixed symbol distribution random number for each confirmed symbol. Are sorted by a predetermined number. In the present embodiment, only the symbol combination that does not include the red symbol [8] is associated with the confirmed symbol table TK0a and the confirmed symbol table TK0b.

  The fixed symbol table TK1 is a fixed symbol table that is selected only when the variation patterns P2A to P8A for the outlier reach effect are determined. The fixed symbol table TK9 is a fixed symbol table that is selected only when the variation pattern P11 for the outlier reach effect is determined. In the fixed symbol table TK1 and the fixed symbol table TK9, seven types of symbol combinations ([121], [232] including a reach formation symbol as a final symbol to be confirmed and stopped after reaching reach are displayed. And the like) and a predetermined number of random numbers for distributing the determined symbols are allocated to each determined symbol. In the present embodiment, only the symbol combinations configured without including the red symbol [8] are associated with the confirmed symbol table TK1 and the confirmed symbol table TK9.

  The fixed symbol tables TK2 to TK8 are fixed symbol tables that are selected when the variation patterns P2B to P8B, the variation pattern P9, and the variation pattern P10 for the big hit effect are determined. In the confirmed symbol tables TK <b> 2 to TK <b> 8, a plurality of jackpot symbol combinations of the decorative symbols are associated with each other as final symbols to be finally stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol variation game.

  Specifically, in the confirmed symbol table TK2, [111], which is the confirmed symbol, 20 pieces, [333] is 40 pieces, [555] is 40 pieces, [777] is 40 pieces, [888] ], 27 values of random numbers for deciding symbol distribution are distributed. Further, in the fixed symbol table TK3, 16 symbols are [111], 9 are [222], 16 are [333], 10 are [444], and 16 are [555]. 65, [666], and [777], 35 fixed symbol distribution random numbers.

  In the fixed symbol table TK4, 13 fixed symbol distribution random values are assigned to [222], which is the fixed symbol [222], 14 to [444], and 140 to [666]. In the confirmed symbol table TK5 and the confirmed symbol table TK8, 66 fixed symbol distribution random numbers are assigned to [222], 66 to [444] and 35 to [666]. ing. In the confirmed symbol table TK6 and the confirmed symbol table TK7, there are 34 confirmed symbols for [111], 34 for [333], 34 for [555], and 65 for [777]. The random number value is distributed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the types of decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination (ie, the blue symbols) that become the confirmed symbols are configured by the above-described confirmed symbol selection table TA and the confirmed symbol tables TK0 to TK9. , Black symbol, and red symbol), the probability variation expectation level of whether or not the probability variation state is given after the end of the big hit game is different.

  More specifically, when the symbol A or the symbol D is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), one of the fixed symbol tables TK2 to TK4 and the fixed symbol tables TK6 to TK8 is selected, and the red symbol and the blue symbol are selected. A jackpot symbol combination consisting of either a symbol or a black symbol is determined as a confirmed symbol. On the other hand, when the symbol H (and the symbol C) is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), the fixed symbol table TK5 or the fixed symbol table TK8 is selected, and the big hit consisting of either the blue symbol or the black symbol is selected. The symbol combination is determined as the confirmed symbol. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game, when the big hit symbol combination consisting of the red symbols is confirmed and stopped, the probability variation state is given and the probability variation state is definitely recognized after the big hit game ends. Possible high-accuracy confirmation mode is set. For this reason, in this embodiment, the red symbol is positioned as a symbol of probability variation confirmation that can be definitely recognized that the probability variation state is given after the end of the big hit game.

  On the other hand, if the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “highly accurate + variable [other than [3]” and the symbol A or symbol D is determined as the big hit symbol (special symbol), the confirmed symbol The table TK3 or the fixed symbol table TK4 is selected, and the jackpot symbol combination including the black symbol is more easily selected than the blue symbol. On the other hand, when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “highly accurate + variable and other than [3]”, and the symbol C or symbol H is determined as the big hit symbol (special symbol), The definite symbol table TK5 is selected, and the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the blue symbol is more easily selected than the black symbol. From such a configuration, in this embodiment, the blue symbol and the black symbol are non-deterministic symbols (so-called chance symbols) that can be non-deterministically recognized that a probability variation state may be given after the big hit game ends. Positioned as. In the present embodiment, the probability of expected change is greater when the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a black symbol is displayed with a fixed stop than when the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol is displayed with a fixed stop in the symbol variation game. Is high. Therefore, in this embodiment, the probability variation expectation is configured to increase stepwise in the order of blue symbol <black symbol <red symbol.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is “high accuracy + variable other than [3]” and the symbol D is determined as the big hit symbol (special symbol), the symbol D Even if the 2nd probability variation 15R jackpot based on is a jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the jackpot game is over, a jackpot symbol combination consisting of either a blue symbol or a black symbol that is not certain probability variation must be selected as the confirmed symbol It is like that.

  The confirmed symbol table TK2 is associated with the red symbol [888] as the confirmed symbol, and the other confirmed symbol tables TK1 and the confirmed symbol tables TK3 to TK9 are associated with the red symbol [888]. Absent. For this reason, the red symbol [888] as the definite symbol is a definite symbol as a special symbol that can be selected only when the variation pattern P2 (slip + normal reach) is determined. That is, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the red symbol [8] is positioned as a confirmed symbol that is confirmed and stopped only in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P2.

  Next, the re-variation selection table TC stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The re-variation selection table TC is a table for selecting any one of the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 for determining the effect content (outline) of the re-variation effect.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the re-variation selection table TC, any one of the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 is associated with each combination of the variation pattern for the big hit effect and the fixed symbol.

  Specifically, in the re-variation selection table TC, the re-variation effect table TS3 is associated with the variation pattern P2B for both the red symbol and the blue / black symbol. In the re-variation selection table TC, for the variation pattern P3B, variation pattern P4B, variation pattern P6B, and variation pattern P7B, the re-variation effect table TS1 for the red symbol and the re-variation effect for the blue and black symbols. A table TS2 is associated. In the re-variation selection table TC, the re-variation effect table TS2 is associated with the variation pattern P5B and the variation pattern P8B for both the red symbol and the blue / black symbol.

  In the re-variation selection table TC, neither the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 are associated with the variation pattern P9 or the variation pattern P10. This is because the variation pattern P9 and the variation pattern P10 are variation patterns that specify variation contents that do not include a re-variation effect.

  Next, the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 are tables that the overall control CPU 31a refers to when determining the effect content (outline) of the re-change effect. In the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 shown in FIG. 12, only one of the decorations constituting the jackpot symbol combination is shown in the “determined symbol” column and the “first provisional symbol” column. In addition, “−” shown in the “Random number for re-variable distribution” column in FIG. 12 does not execute the lottery based on the value of the random number for re-variable distribution, and the decoration described in the “First temporary design” column. It shows that a figure (that is, a confirmed symbol) is determined as a temporary symbol first. In addition, “determined symbol” shown in the column of “first temporary symbol” in FIG. 12 indicates that the symbol combination of the same ornament as the ornamental symbol determined as the confirmed symbol is determined as the initial temporary symbol. In addition, “re-lottery effect + reverse effect per reverse” shown in the “per reverse / re-lottery” column in FIG. 12 indicates “re-lottery effect with per-reverse effect”, and “re-lottery effect” “Lottery effect without effect”.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3, the re-change effect effect content (re-lottery effect with reversal effect or re-lottery effect without reversal effect) for each type of confirmed symbol and A combination with the initial provisional symbol is associated, and a random number of revariation distribution random numbers is assigned for each combination of the effect content of the revariation effect and the initial temporary design.

  Specifically, in the re-variation effect table TS1, the red symbol as the confirmed symbol includes “re-lottery effect with reversal effect” and the definite symbol (first temporary symbol) as the contents of the re-variation effect. Combinations of red symbols), blue symbols ([222], [444]), and black symbols ([666]) are associated with each other, and “replay without reverse effect per reversal” is the effect of the re-variation effect. The “lottery effect” is associated with a combination of a definite symbol (red symbol), a blue symbol, and a black symbol as the first temporary symbol. Then, in the re-variation effect table TS1, each combination of the “re-lottery effect with reversal effect with reversal effect” associated with the red symbol and the initial temporary symbol has two re-variation distribution random numbers. It is distributed. Further, in the re-variation effect table TS1, 89 combinations are provided for the combination of the “re-lottery effect without reversal effect per reversal” and the confirmed symbol (red symbol) associated with the red symbol, and “reversal” associated with the red symbol. 20 for each combination of “re-lottery effect without winning effect” and each blue symbol, and 30 for each combination of “re-lottery effect without reverse effect” and black symbol associated with the red symbol. Random values for distribution effect distribution are distributed.

  In the re-variation effect table TS2, the red symbol as the confirmed symbol includes “re-lottery effect without reversal effect” and the definite symbol (red symbol) as the first temporary symbol. Combinations of blue symbols ([222], [444]) and black symbols ([666]) are associated with each other. Further, in the re-variation effect table TS2, the black symbol as the confirmed symbol includes “re-lottery effect without reversal effect”, the blue symbol as the first temporary symbol, and the black symbol ( A combination with a fixed symbol) is associated. In the re-variation effect table TS2, the blue symbol as the confirmed symbol includes “re-lottery effect without reversal effect” and the final symbol that is the first temporary symbol (ie, the blue symbol). Are associated with each other.

  In the re-variation effect table TS2, 97 combinations of “re-lottery effect without effect per reverse rotation” associated with the red symbol and the confirmed symbol (red symbol) are combined with “per reverse rotation effect” associated with the red symbol. Re-lottery effect without effect "and each blue symbol is 20 in each combination, and" re-lottery effect without effect per reversal "associated with the red symbol is associated with 30 black symbols. Random values for performance distribution are distributed. In the re-variation effect table TS2, 27 combinations of “re-lottery effect without reversal effect” and blue symbol “222” associated with the black symbol, “no reversal effect with reversal effect” are associated with the black symbol. 28 for the combination of the “re-lottery effect” and the blue symbol [444], and 112 for the combination of the “re-lottery effect without the effect per reversal” associated with the black symbol and the black symbol [666]. Random values for re-variation effect distribution are distributed. In the re-variation effect table TS2, the combination of the “re-lottery effect without reversal effect per reversal” associated with the blue symbol and the fixed symbol (blue symbol) is particularly assigned a random value for re-variation effect distribution. However, the “definite symbol” is always selected.

  Also, in the re-variation effect table TS3, among the red symbols as the confirmed symbols, [888] includes “re-lottery effect without reversal effect” and the definite symbol that is the first temporary symbol, which is the effect of the re-variation effect. Only the combination of (that is, the red symbol [888]) is associated. In the re-variation effect table TS3, the red symbols other than [888] among the red symbols as the confirmed symbols include the “re-lottery effect with reversal effect” and the first provisional symbol, which are re-change effect effects. A combination of a definite symbol (red symbol), a blue symbol, and a black symbol is associated with each other. A combination of a definite symbol (red symbol), a blue symbol, and a black symbol is associated.

  In the re-variation effect table TS3, a random number for re-variation effect distribution is included in the combination of the “re-lottery effect without reversal effect per reversal” and the confirmed symbol (red symbol) associated with [888] among the red symbols. The value of is not assigned in particular, and the “determined symbol” is always selected. In the re-variation effect table TS3, two combinations of “re-lottery effect with reversal effect with reversal effect” associated with red symbols other than [888] among the red symbols and the first tentative symbol are included. Fluctuating random numbers are distributed. In the re-variation effect table TS3, 89 combinations are included in the combination of the “re-lottery effect without reversal effect” and the confirmed symbol (red symbol) associated with red symbols other than [888] among the red symbols. There are 20 combinations of “re-lottery effect without reversal effect per turn” associated with the red symbol and each blue symbol, and “re-lottery effect without reversal effect per reversal” and black symbol associated with the red symbol. 30 random numbers for re-variation effect distribution are distributed to the combinations.

  In the present embodiment, from the configuration of the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3, from the blue symbol to the blue symbol by the re-variation effect (the re-lottery effect without the effect per reverse rotation or the re-lottery effect with the effect per reverse rotation), from the blue symbol Re-combine with six combinations of initial temporary and final symbols, from black to blue, from blue to red, from black to black, from black to red, and from red to red. Fluctuation production can be executed. That is, in this embodiment, in addition to the situation where the probability variation non-deterministic symbol (blue symbol and black symbol) is promoted to the probability variation definite symbol (red symbol), the probability variation non-deterministic symbol (blue symbol) having a low probability of probability variation From the above, it is possible to create a situation where the probability variation expectation is relatively high and the symbol is promoted to a non-deterministic symbol (black symbol).

  In the present embodiment, the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 are selected with reference to the re-variation selection table TC based on the variation pattern, and the first temporary associated with the selected re-variation effect table is selected. The design is decided. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the initial tentative symbol is determined from the symbol combination of the decorative drawing associated with the variation pattern.

  Next, the re-lottery effect detail table TF stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The re-lottery effect detail table TF is a table that is referred to when the overall control CPU 31a determines detailed effect contents of the re-lottery effect. Note that the “determined symbol” shown in the “first tentative symbol” column of FIG. 13 indicates that the symbol combination of the same decorative design as the confirmed symbol is determined as the initial tentative symbol. In addition, “-” shown in the “detailed primary distribution random number” column in FIG. 13 indicates that “the effect of the re-lottery effect” without executing the lottery based on the value of the detailed primary distribution random number. It shows that the production content described in the column is determined as the production content of the re-lottery production. In addition, the “first temporary design” shown in the “intermediate temporary design” column of FIG. 13 indicates that the same decorative design as the initial design determined as the initial temporary design is determined as the intermediate temporary design, and “−” This indicates that the intermediate temporary symbol is not determined. Moreover, in the re-lottery effect detailed table TF shown in FIG. 13, only one of the decorative drawings constituting the jackpot symbol combination is shown. In addition, in this embodiment, the detailed content of the re-lottery effect associated with the re-lottery effect detail table TF (the first specific re-lottery effect and the second specific re-lottery effect) and the intermediate temporary symbol (first temporary symbol) And a black symbol) become a re-variation pattern that can specify the specific content of the re-variation effect. In the present embodiment, the overall control ROM 31b that stores the re-lottery effect detail table TF functions as a re-variation pattern storage unit.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the re-lottery effect detail table TF, there are a predetermined number of effect values of the re-lottery effect for each combination of the confirmed symbol and the initial temporary symbol, and a random number for detailed primary distribution for each effect content. They are distributed one by one.

  More specifically, in the redrawing effect detail table TF, a combination of red symbols [111], [333], and [555] as final symbols and a final symbol (that is, red symbol) as a first temporary symbol. Is associated with the normal re-lottery effect as the effect of the re-lottery effect. In the re-lottery effect detail table TF, the combination of the red symbols [111], [333], and [555] as the confirmed symbols and the blue symbol ([222] or [444]) as the first temporary symbol is: As the contents of the re-lottery effect, a normal re-lottery effect, a first specific re-lottery effect, and a second specific re-lottery effect are associated. In the re-lottery effect detail table TF, the combination of the red symbols [111], [333], and [555] as the confirmed symbols and the black symbol ([666]) as the first temporary symbol has a re-lottery effect. A normal re-lottery effect, a first specific re-lottery effect, and a second specific re-lottery effect are associated as effect contents.

  In addition, in the re-lottery effect detail table TF, the combination of the red symbol [777] as the final symbol and the final symbol (red symbol) as the first temporary symbol corresponds to the normal re-lottery effect as the content of the re-lottery effect. It is attached. In the re-lottery effect detail table TF, for the combination of the red symbol [777] as the confirmed symbol and the blue symbol as the first temporary symbol, the normal re-lottery effect, the first specific re-lottery effect, And the 2nd specific re-lottery effect is matched. In the re-lottery effect detail table TF, for the combination of the red symbol [777] as the confirmed symbol and the black symbol as the first temporary symbol, the normal re-lottery effect, the first specific re-lottery effect, And the 2nd specific re-lottery effect is matched.

  In the re-lottery effect detailed table TF, the combination of the red symbol [888] as the final symbol and the final symbol (that is, the red symbol [888]) as the first temporary symbol is usually used as the effect of the re-lottery effect. A re-lottery effect is associated.

  In addition, in the re-lottery effect detail table TF, a combination of a blue symbol ([222] and [444]) and a black symbol ([666]) as a confirmed symbol and a blue symbol and a black symbol as a first temporary symbol ( A normal re-lottery effect is associated with the effect of the re-lottery effect (including the case where the first temporary symbol is a confirmed symbol).

  Then, in the re-lottery effect detail table TF, in the combination of either the red symbol as the confirmed symbol and the blue symbol or the black symbol as the first temporary symbol, the normal re-lottery effect has 40 detailed primary patterns. The random number value for distribution includes 60 detailed primary distribution random number values for the first specific re-lottery effect, and 27 detailed primary distribution random number values for the second specific re-lottery effect. It is distributed.

Further, in the re-drawing effect detail table TF, the first specific re-lotting effect and the second specific re-lotting associated with the red symbol as the confirmed symbol and the blue symbol ([222] and [444]) as the first temporary symbol. The production is associated with “ first temporary design ” and black design [666] as intermediate temporary designs. Then, in the “first temporary symbol” as the intermediate temporary pattern associated with each specific re-lottering effect as the content of the re-variation effect, 23 detailed secondary distribution random numbers are used as intermediate temporary symbols. Twenty detailed secondary distribution random numbers are distributed to the black pattern [666].

  From such a distribution mode of random primary random number values in the re-lottery effect detail table TF, when the initial temporary symbol is a definite symbol, the normal re-variation effect is always selected, while the definite symbol is selected. Is a red symbol and the first temporary symbol is a blue symbol or a black symbol, the normal re-variation effect (no re-variation), the first specific re-lottery effect (with re-variation), and the second specific re-lottery One of the effects (with re-variation) is selected. For this reason, in this embodiment, even though the jackpot symbol combination that has been stopped and displayed is a red symbol with a certain probability change, the jackpot symbol combination (decorative diagram) is changed again and again, so that the player is anxious. Suppressing feelings. Also, in this embodiment, by not re-variing the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a red symbol for which the highest probability change expectation (100% in this embodiment) is set, the processing related to re-variation is omitted, and the game This reduces the annoyance to the person. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the confirmed symbol is a red symbol and the first temporary symbol is a blue symbol or a black symbol, the first specific re-lottery effect and the second specific re-lottery effect to be changed again are selected. The opportunity to change (ie, promote) from a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol with a non-deterministic probability or a jackpot symbol consisting of a black symbol to a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a red symbol with a certain probability change. It can be provided multiple times.

  In particular, when the confirmed symbol is a red symbol and the first temporary symbol is a blue symbol, the first temporary symbol (blue symbol) or the black symbol [666] can be selected as the intermediate temporary symbol. When the black symbol [666] is selected as the intermediate temporary symbol, the first specific re-lottery effect or the second specific symbol such that the initial temporary symbol is a blue symbol, the intermediate temporary symbol is a black symbol, and the final symbol is a red symbol. In the redrawing effect, every time the jackpot symbol combination is changed again, the jackpot symbol combination having a higher probability of probability change is derived, and the player's interest can be enhanced.

  Further, when the confirmed symbol is a red symbol and the initial temporary symbol is a black symbol, the first temporary symbol (that is, the black symbol [666]) is always selected as the intermediate temporary symbol. That is, in the present embodiment, in the first specific re-lottery effect or the second specific re-lottery effect, when the confirmed symbol is a red symbol, the red symbol is not selected as the intermediate temporary symbol. For this reason, in this embodiment, even though the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a red symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed as an intermediate temporary symbol, the player feels uneasy because the jackpot symbol combination is changed again and again. Is suppressed.

  Next, control related to the execution of the symbol variation game performed when the overall control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command from the main control CPU 30a will be described.

  When the central control CPU 31a of the central control board 31 receives the change pattern designation command, it outputs the command to the display control board 32 and the sound / lamp control board 33. In addition, when a special symbol designation command is input, the overall control CPU 31a determines a decorative symbol constituting a symbol combination to be stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. When the general control CPU 31a receives a special symbol designation command, the general control CPU 31a sets information (control flag or the like) indicating the type of the special symbol stop symbol corresponding to the command in a predetermined area of the general control RAM 31c.

  More specifically, the overall control CPU 31a grasps the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the special figure designated by the special symbol designation command, and the grasped variation pattern and special figure type. The selected symbol table is selected from the determined symbol tables TK0 to TK9 with reference to the determined symbol selection table TA. Next, the overall control CPU 31a that has selected the fixed symbol table acquires the value of the fixed symbol distribution random number from the central control RAM 31c, and also selects the selected fixed symbol based on the acquired fixed symbol distribution random number value. With reference to the table, a definite symbol (decorative symbol combination) is determined.

  In other words, the overall control CPU 31a determines a confirmed symbol from among symbol combinations of decorations associated with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command.

  More specifically, the overall control CPU 31a is in a case where any one of the variation patterns P2A to P8A for the outlier reach effect is designated, and the designated symbol is designated as the stop symbol (special figure). Then, one of the off-set symbol combinations including the reach formation symbol associated with the confirmed symbol table TK1 is determined as the confirmed symbol. When the fluctuation pattern P11 for the outlier reach effect is designated, and the deviation symbol is designated as the stop symbol (special figure), the overall control CPU 31a reaches the reach associated with the fixed symbol table TK9. Any one of the off-set symbol combinations including the formed symbol is determined as the final symbol.

  Further, the central control CPU 31a is a jackpot symbol (special symbol) corresponding to the first probability variation 15R jackpot when the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is designated and the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command is designated. In the case of the big hit symbol (symbol D) corresponding to the symbol A) or the second probability variation 15R big hit, one of the fixed symbol tables TK2 to TK4 and the fixed symbol tables TK6 to TK8 is selected and associated with the selected fixed symbol table. The jackpot symbol combination consisting of any one of the blue symbol, the black symbol, and the red symbol is determined from among the jackpot symbol combinations.

  In addition, the overall control CPU 31a corresponds to the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command when the variation pattern for the big hit effect is designated, and the probability variation 15R big hit is cut 100 times. In the case of a jackpot symbol (symbol C) or a jackpot symbol (symbol H) corresponding to a non-probable variable 15R jackpot, the confirmed symbol table TK5 or the confirmed symbol table TK8 is selected and the symbol combination corresponding to the selected confirmed symbol table is selected. A jackpot symbol combination consisting of either a blue symbol or a black symbol is determined from among the symbols.

  The overall control CPU 31a is associated with the fixed symbol table TK0 when the variation pattern P1 for the offending effect is designated and when the off symbol is designated as the stop symbol (special symbol). One of the off-set symbol combinations not including the reach formation symbol is determined as the confirmed symbol.

  In addition, when the variation patterns P2B to P8B including the re-variation effect are designated, the overall control CPU 31a determines the re-change effect effect contents and the temporary design (first temporary design and intermediate temporary design).

  More specifically, the overall control CPU 31a determines the contents of the first temporary symbol and the effect of the re-variation effect based on the specified variation pattern and the determined confirmed symbol. That is, first, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the re-variation selection table TC based on the determined design type (blue design, black design, and red design) and the designated variation pattern type. One of the production tables TS1 to TS3 is selected. Subsequently, the overall control CPU 31a acquires the value of the re-variation distribution random number stored in the overall control RAM 31c, and based on the acquired value of the re-variation distribution random number and the determined fixed symbol type, With reference to the re-variation effect table, the re-variation effect effect content (re-lottery effect without reversal effect or re-lottery effect with reversal effect) and the combination of the first temporary symbols are selected. That is, the overall control CPU 31a first determines a temporary symbol from the symbol combination of the decorative pattern associated with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command.

  Next, the overall control CPU 31a acquires the value of the detailed primary distribution random number stored in the overall control RAM 31c, and the acquired value of the detailed primary distribution random number, the determined fixed symbol, and the determination Based on the first temporary symbol, the re-lottery effect detail table TF is referred to determine the re-lottery effect content. Further, the overall control CPU 31a selects the first specific re-lottery effect or the second specific re-lottery effect as the re-lottery effect content when the confirmed symbol is a red symbol and the first temporary symbol is a blue symbol. In this case, the value of the detailed secondary distribution random number is acquired from the overall control RAM 31c, and based on the acquired value of the detailed secondary distribution random number, with reference to the re-lottery effect detailed table TF as an intermediate temporary symbol First, either the temporary design (that is, the blue design) or the black design [666] is determined. Further, the overall control CPU 31a selects the first specific re-lottery effect or the second specific re-lottery effect as the effect of the re-lottery effect when the confirmed symbol is a red symbol and the first temporary symbol is a black symbol. In this case, the first temporary symbol (black symbol) is determined as the intermediate temporary symbol. Note that the overall control CPU 31a does not determine the intermediate temporary symbol when the final symbol is a red symbol and the initial temporary symbol is a final symbol (red symbol).

  Then, the overall control CPU 31a that has determined the determined symbol sets information (for example, a control flag) indicating the determined determined symbol type in a predetermined area of the overall control RAM 31c. In addition, the overall control CPU 31 a that has determined the decorative symbol of the decoration drawing outputs a fixed symbol designation command that designates the fixed symbol of the decorative symbol to the display control board 32. Further, the overall control CPU 31a includes the presence / absence of the reversal effect and the type of the re-lottery effect (normal re-lottery effect, first specific re-lottery effect, or second specific re-lottery effect) as the contents of the re-variation effect. If it is determined, a re-variation effect content designation command for designating the content of the determined re-variation effect is output to the display control board 32 and the sound / lamp control board 33. In addition, when the first temporary symbol is determined, the overall control CPU 31a outputs a first temporary symbol designation command for designating the first temporary symbol to the display control board 32 at the same time as the re-variation effect content designation command. In addition, when determining the intermediate temporary symbol, the overall control CPU 31a outputs an intermediate temporary symbol designation command for designating the intermediate temporary symbol to the display control board 32 at the same time as the re-variation effect content designation command. Further, when the overall control CPU 31a inputs the all symbols stop command, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32 and the sound / lamp control board 33.

  Next, the control contents related to the rendering mode executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described. The overall control CPU 31a determines the type of effect mode after the big hit game based on the type of jackpot symbol specified by the special symbol designation command output from the main control CPU 30a, and indicates the determined effect mode. Update the production mode flag to the value. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 31c. When the production mode flag is set (updated), the overall control CPU 31a outputs a mode designation command for designating the production mode during the stay to the display control board 32 and the sound / lamp control board 33.

  Next, the control content related to the jackpot game executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described. When the opening control command, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the opening effect, the effect content of the round effect, and the effect content of the ending effect according to these commands. Then, the overall control CPU 31a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing the determined effect contents to the display control board 32 and the sound / lamp control board 33, respectively. In the present embodiment, the control for the general control CPU 31a to determine the effect content of the opening effect, the effect content of the round effect, and the effect content of the ending effect will be described in detail later.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 31a functions as a symbol determination unit, a content determination unit, an effect control unit, and a mode setting unit.
Next, the display control board 32 will be described.

  When a variation pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a of the display control board 32 selects an effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command, and an effect display is performed so that the symbol variation game is executed with the effect content. The display content of the device 22 is controlled. In addition, the display control CPU 32a selects a decoration drawing group including a design designated by the confirmed design designation command from the first decoration drawing group and the second decoration drawing group, and the decoration drawing belonging to the selected decoration drawing group. The display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that the symbol variation game is executed by varying the symbol. At this time, the display control CPU 32a uses the image data in the display control ROM 32b based on the selected effect content to generate display data for displaying an image according to the effect content. The display control CPU 32a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the effect display device 22 based on the measured time and display data. Switch every control cycle (for example, every 4 ms).

  Further, the display control CPU 32a inputs a re-variation effect content specifying command for specifying the effect content of the re-change effect, an initial temporary design specifying command for specifying the initial temporary design, and an intermediate temporary design specifying command for specifying the intermediate temporary design. In such a case, the display on the effect display device 22 is performed so that the re-variation effect (reversal per rotation effect, normal re-lottery effect, first specific re-lottery effect, and second specific re-lottery effect) is executed in accordance with the input designated commands. Control the content.

  That is, when the normal re-lottery effect without the effect per reverse rotation is designated, the display control CPU 32a temporarily displays the first temporary symbol through the reach effect performed by deriving the reach formation symbol among the designated first temporary symbols. Then, the display contents of the effect display device 22 are controlled so that the first temporary symbol once stopped and displayed is changed again, and finally the final symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. Further, when each specific re-lottery effect without the effect per reverse rotation is designated, the display control CPU 32a temporarily stops the first temporary symbol through the reach effect performed by deriving the reach formation symbol among the designated initial temporary symbols. After being displayed, it is re-varied, and the specified intermediate temporary design is temporarily stopped, and the intermediate temporary design that has been temporarily stopped is re-variable (rotated in the vertical or horizontal direction), and finally confirmed. The display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that the symbols are temporarily stopped.

  On the other hand, when the normal re-lottery effect with the effect per reverse rotation is designated, the display control CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the first temporary symbol by the normal re-lottery effect instead of the confirmed symbol, and the first temporary The display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that the symbol is switched to the final symbol. Further, when the specific re-lottery effect with the effect per reverse rotation is designated, the display control CPU 32a temporarily stops the intermediate temporary symbol by the specific re-lottery effect instead of the confirmed symbol, and temporarily stops the intermediate temporary symbol. The display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that the symbol is switched to the final symbol.

  Then, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an all symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the display content of the effect display device 22 is displayed so that the symbol indicated by the decoration symbol designation command is displayed on the effect display device 22 in a definite stop display. Control and finish the symbol variation game.

  Further, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an effect instruction command for specifying each effect content of the opening effect, each round effect, and the ending effect from the overall control CPU 31a, the opening effect, each round effect, And the display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that the ending effect is executed. When the mode control command is input, the display control CPU 32a changes the background image based on the instruction content. In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 32a functions as a game control unit and a notification control unit.

  Next, a detailed description will be given of a control configuration for the overall control CPU 31a to determine the content of the opening effect, the content of the round effect, and the content of the ending effect.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as a final confirmed symbol in the symbol variation game, a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol ([222] or [666]) or a jackpot symbol consisting of a black symbol ([666]). When the symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is notified whether or not a probable change state will be given after the end of this big hit game as a round effect and an ending effect during the big hit game that will be performed after the end of the symbol variation game. The notification effect to be performed and the promotion effect as the state notification effect are configured to be executable. The promotion effect in the present embodiment is executed in such a manner that a friend character and an opponent character battle each other (battle). In the promotion effect of the present embodiment, when the teammate character finally wins, the player can definitely recognize that the probable state is given after the big hit game is over, while the teammate character is defeated. In this case, the player can recognize in a non-deterministic manner that there is a possibility that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is over. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a symbol combination of a big symbol consisting of a blue symbol or a black symbol that cannot be definitely recognized that a certain variation state is given in the symbol variation game is confirmed and stopped as a confirmed symbol. When the jackpot game is started (at the time when the symbol variation game is finished), it can be said that there is a probability variation non-determined production state in which it is not possible to definitely recognize that the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends. Then, the promotion effect of the present embodiment is promoted from the non-deterministic effect state by the execution of the promotion effect to the promising confirmation effect state that can be definitely recognized after the jackpot game is finished. It can also be understood as a game effect.

First, in the present embodiment, an effect mode during a big hit game when executed including a promotion effect will be described with reference to FIG.
In the jackpot game in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 14A, for example, a message image such as “big hit” is displayed to notify the player that the big hit game is started. Opening performance is performed. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 14B and 14C, in the first to seventh round games after the opening effect, an image indicating the number of rounds (such as “1R”) or a predetermined character image is displayed. Each round effect is performed in a manner such as displaying. And as shown in FIG.14 (d) or (g), in the jackpot game of this embodiment, the promotion effect is started during the round game of the 8th round or the 11th round. As shown in FIG. 14 (f), when the promotion effect is started from the eleventh round, the round game of the eighth to tenth rounds is the same as the round effect of the first to seventh rounds. Round production is executed. Also, as shown in FIG. 14 (e), after the promotion effect is started, in the round games of the ninth to eleventh rounds, an image showing a situation where the ally character and the opponent character face each other is displayed. Each round effect is performed by the aspect which cannot recognize the battle | competition result of an ally character and an opponent's character directly.

  Then, in the round games of the 12th to 15th rounds in the jackpot game of this embodiment, the teammate character wins as shown in FIG. 14 (h) after the teammate character and the opponent's character battle each other. A mode for displaying an image indicating a situation (for example, an image expressing a pose of a ally character) or an image for indicating a situation in which a ally character is defeated as shown in FIG. The round effect is performed in any one of the modes for displaying the image of the state of the character of the person falling down).

  And as shown to FIG.14 (j), (k), and (m), in the ending, the final result of a promotion effect is alert | reported first. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (j), when a teammate character wins as a round effect in the 12th to 15th rounds, the teammate wins "winning" as a notification of the battle result in the ending effect. The ending effect is performed in such a manner that a message image for notifying that “has been done” is displayed. In addition, when a teammate character is defeated as the round effect of the 12th to 15th rounds, the teammate “wins in reverse” as shown in FIG. The ending effect is performed in a mode in which a message image for informing the user is displayed, or in a mode in which a message image for informing that the ally is “defeated” is displayed as shown in FIG.

  In the ending, after the final result of the promotion effect is displayed, an image showing the situation where the castle gate opens as shown in FIG. 14 (n) is displayed, and thereafter, FIG. 14 (p), (q), And as shown to (r), mode alerting | reporting is performed in the aspect which displays the message image which shows the kind of production mode set after the big hit game is complete | finished. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (p), when the high probability suggestion mode MS is set after the big hit game is finished (that is, when the odd-change 15R big hit or the non-probable change 15R big win is won) ), Mode notification is performed in such a manner that a message image (for example, “high accuracy suggestion mode MS entry!” Or the like) is displayed to notify that the high accuracy suggestion mode MS is set. Further, as shown in FIG. 14 (q), when the high probability determination mode MK1 is set after the big hit game is finished (that is, when the first probability variation 15R big hit is won), the high probability determination mode MK1 is set. Mode notification is performed in such a manner as to display a message image (for example, “high-definition confirmation mode MK1 rush!”). Further, as shown in FIG. 14 (r), when the high probability determination mode MK2 is set after the big hit game ends (that is, when the second probability variation 15R big hit is won), the high probability determination mode MK2 is set. Mode notification is performed in such a manner as to display a message image (for example, “high-definition confirmation mode MK2 rush!”).

Next, a table that is referred to when the overall control CPU 31a executes a promotion effect during a round game will be described.
First, the promotion effect table TG stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The promotion effect table TG is a table that is referred to when the overall control CPU 31a determines the effect contents of the promotion effect (whether or not the promotion effect can be executed and the round game that starts the promotion effect).

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the promotion effect table TG, the effect contents of the promotion effect are associated with each combination of the type of decorative symbol (hit symbol combination) of the decorative drawing and the type of jackpot symbol of the special drawing. At the same time, a predetermined number of random numbers for distribution of promotion effects are associated with each content of the promotion effect. In FIG. 15, “8R” indicates the eighth round, and “11R” indicates the eleventh round.

  More specifically, in the promotion effect table TG, the combination of the blue symbol as the confirmed symbol and the symbol A or symbol D of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is “no battle” as the effect content of the promotion effect. , “Battle start from 8R” and “Battle start from 11R” are associated with each other. In the present embodiment, the effect content “No Battle” indicates that the promotion effect is not executed as a round effect (impossible to execute the promotion effect), and the effect content “Start Battle from 8R” executes the promotion effect ( This shows that the promotion effect can be executed) and the promotion effect starts from the round game of the eighth round. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect content “start battle from 11R” indicates that the promotion effect is executed (promotion effect can be executed) and the promotion effect starts from the round game of the eleventh round. As described above, in this embodiment, by determining the content of the promotion effect based on the promotion effect table TG, the promotion effect is executed at the same time that the promotion effect can be executed and cannot be executed (that is, whether it can be executed). The starting round in case can be determined.

  Further, in the promotion effect table TG, the combination of the blue symbol as the confirmed symbol and the symbol C or symbol H of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) includes “no battle” and “8R” as the effect contents of the promotion effect. "Battle start from" is associated.

  In the promotion effect table TG, 11 promotion effects are included in the “no battle” effect content associated with the combination of the blue symbol as the confirmed symbol and the symbol A and symbol D of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). The value of the random number for distribution is 100 promotion effect random numbers for the effect content of “Battle start from 8R”, and the value of 2 promotion effect distributions for the effect content of “Battle start from 11R” Random numbers are distributed. In addition, in the content of the “no battle” effect associated with the combination of the blue symbol as the confirmed symbol and the symbol C and symbol H of the jackpot symbol (special symbol), 109 promotion random number values However, four promotion effect distribution random numbers are assigned to the effect content of “Battle start from 8R”.

  In the promotion effect table TG, the combination of the black symbol ([666]) as the confirmed symbol and the symbol A or symbol D of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is “8R” as the effect content of the promotion effect. “Battle start” and “Battle start from 11R” are associated with each other. Further, in the promotion effect table TG, only the combination of the black symbol as the confirmed symbol and the symbol C or symbol H of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) has “start battle from 8R” as the effect content of the promotion effect. It is associated.

  In the promotion effect table TG, 110 effects are included in the “8R battle start” effect content associated with the combination of the black symbol as the confirmed symbol and the symbol A and symbol D of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). The value of the promotion effect distribution random number is assigned to the value of the promotion promotion distribution random number for the content of the effect “battle start from 11R”. In addition, there are 113 random numbers for distribution of promotion effects in the effect content of “Battle start from 8R” associated with the combination of the black symbol as a confirmed symbol and the symbols C and H of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) The value of is distributed.

  In the present embodiment, the content of the promotion effect is determined based on the types of decorations constituting the jackpot symbol combination determined as the final symbol to be finalized and stopped in the symbol variation game. . And in this embodiment, it is a case where the big hit symbol of a special figure is the symbol A or the symbol D, and a fixed symbol is blue from the distribution aspect of the value of the random number for promotion effect distribution in such a promotion effect table TG. In the case of a symbol, execution of the promotion effect is determined with a probability of 102/113 (90.3%) (that is, “Battle start from 8R” or “Battle start from 11R”), It is determined that the promotion effect cannot be executed (that is, “no battle”) with a probability of 11/113 (9.7%). That is, in this embodiment, when the big hit symbol of the special figure is the symbol A or the symbol D and the confirmed symbol is the blue symbol, it is easier to determine whether the promotion effect can be executed than when the promotion effect cannot be executed. It is configured. In the present embodiment, when the jackpot symbol of the special figure is the symbol C or the symbol H and the confirmed symbol is the blue symbol, the promotion effect has a probability of 4/113 (3.5%). On the other hand, the execution of the promotion effect is determined with a probability of 109/113 (96.5%). In other words, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot symbol of the special figure is the symbol C or the symbol H and the confirmed symbol is the blue symbol, it is easier to determine that the promotion effect cannot be executed than the promotion effect can be executed. It is configured. In the present embodiment, when the confirmed symbol is a blue symbol and the special jackpot symbol is symbol A or symbol D, the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol C or symbol H compared to Thus, it is easy to determine whether the promotion effect can be executed.

  Further, in this embodiment, even if the special symbol jackpot symbol is any one of symbol A, symbol C, symbol D, and symbol H, if the confirmed symbol is a black symbol, 113/113 ( The execution of the promotion effect is determined with a probability of 100%). In other words, in this embodiment, even if the special symbol jackpot symbol is any one of symbol A, symbol C, symbol D, and symbol H, if the final symbol is a black symbol, the promotion effect can be executed. Be sure to decide.

  Then, when the confirmed symbol is a blue symbol, the probability that execution of the promotion effect is determined is “(total value of selection rates of symbol A and symbol D × execution rate of promotion effect) + (symbol C and symbol H). (Total value of selection ratio x execution rate of promotion effect) ”, and the value is“ 46.9% ”. By the same calculation, the probability that execution of the promotion effect is determined when the confirmed symbol is a black symbol is “100.0%”. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a big hit symbol combination consisting of black symbols is confirmed and stopped as a confirmed symbol in the symbol variation game, a big hit symbol combination consisting of blue symbols is confirmed and stopped as a confirmed symbol. Compared to, the promotion effect is easily executed during the big hit game.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol A or symbol D, “start battle from 11R” can be selected as the effect contents of the promotion effect, while the special symbol jackpot symbol is the symbol. In the case of C or design H, “start battle from 11R” is not selected as the content of the promotion effect.

In the present embodiment, the eighth round is the first start time, and the eleventh round is the second start time.
Next, the promotion pattern table TH stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The promotion pattern table TH is a development from the start of the promotion effect to the ending effect including whether or not the ally character wins in the promotion effect when the overall control CPU 31a determines that the promotion effect can be executed (roughly It is a table that is referred to when determining the production content.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the promotion pattern table TH of the present embodiment, the promotion pattern that can specify the specific contents of the production from the start of the promotion effect to the ending effect, including whether or not the ally character wins. Are associated with four types of promotion patterns: promotion pattern UP1, promotion pattern UP2, promotion pattern UP3, and promotion pattern UP4. The promotion pattern UP1 is a pattern of successful promotion in which an ally character first attacks the opponent character and the ally character wins as it is. Further, the promotion pattern UP2 is a pattern of successful promotion in which the opponent character first strikes the ally character and the ally character is defeated once, but reverse wins in the ending effect. Further, the promotion pattern UP3 and the promotion pattern UP4 are patterns of promotion failure in which the opponent character first attacks the ally character and the ally character is defeated as it is. In the promotion pattern UP3, during the ending effect, the mode notification that the high-confirmation confirmation mode MK1 is set or the mode notification that the high-confirmation confirmation mode MK2 is set is performed, so that the probability change after the big hit game ends. The fact that the state is given can be definitely recognized, and this is a pattern of the promotion success substantially. In the present embodiment, the promotion pattern UP1 and the promotion pattern UP2 which are successful promotion patterns are the contents of confirmation notification, and the promotion pattern UP4 which is a promotion failure pattern is the contents of non-confirmation notification effects.

  In the promotion pattern table TH, a predetermined number of promotion pattern distribution random numbers are assigned to the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4 for each type of jackpot symbol of the special figure. More specifically, when the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is symbol A or symbol D in the promotion pattern table TH, the promotion pattern UP1 includes 100 promotion pattern distribution random number values, and the promotion pattern UP2 includes the promotion pattern UP2. The 20 promotion pattern distribution random numbers are assigned, the promotion pattern UP3 is assigned 17 promotion pattern assignment random numbers, and the promotion pattern UP4 is assigned 0 promotion pattern distribution random values. ing. In the promotion pattern table TH, when the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is symbol C or symbol H, the promotion pattern UP1 to UP3 has 0 promotion pattern distribution random number values, and the promotion pattern UP4 has 137 values. The promotion pattern distribution random numbers are distributed.

  If the symbol A or symbol D is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol) based on the distribution pattern of the random numbers for promotion pattern distribution in the promotion pattern table TH of the present embodiment, 120/137 (87 .6%) with a probability of promotion success, while selecting a pattern with promotion failure with a probability of 17/137 (12.4%). Further, when the promotion pattern UP3 that is substantially the promotion success pattern is regarded as the promotion success pattern, when the symbol A or the symbol D is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), 137/137 (100.0) %) Is selected with the probability of promotion, while the pattern of promotion failure is selected with the probability of 0/137 (0.0%) (that is, not selected). That is, when the symbol A or the symbol D is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), it is easier to select the promotion success pattern than the promotion failure pattern.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the symbol C or the symbol H is determined as the big hit symbol of the special symbol, the successful promotion pattern is selected with a probability of 0/137 (0.0%), while 137/137. The promotion failure pattern is selected with a probability of (100.0%). That is, when the symbol C or the symbol H is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), the promotion success pattern is not selected, and the promotion failure pattern is always selected. In the present embodiment, when the symbol A or the symbol D is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), compared with the case where the symbol C or the symbol H is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol). , Making it easier to select patterns of successful promotion. In other words, in this embodiment, when winning a big hit (symbol C and symbol H) in which the probability variation confirmation mode is not set as the effect mode after the big hit game, the promotion failure pattern is selected, but after the big hit ends When the big hit (symbol A and symbol D) for which the probability change confirmation mode is set is won, a pattern of successful promotion (including the promotion pattern UP3) is selected.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the blue symbols is determined as the confirmed symbol and the execution of the promotion effect is determined, the probability of promotion success by the promotion effect (promotion success rate) is When the promotion pattern UP3 is not included in the promotion success pattern, it becomes “84.3%”, and when it is included in the promotion success pattern, it becomes “96.2%”. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when a jackpot symbol combination consisting of black symbols is determined as a confirmed symbol and execution of the promotion effect is determined, the probability of successful promotion by the promotion effect (promotion success rate) is When the promotion pattern UP3 is not included in the promotion success pattern, it becomes “43.8%”, and when it is included in the promotion success pattern, it becomes “50.0%”. In other words, when the promotion effect is executed, if the jackpot symbol combination consisting of blue symbols is determined as the confirmed symbol, the promotion succeeds more than if the jackpot symbol combination consisting of black symbols is determined as the confirmed symbol. The probability of becoming a pattern of is high.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol is determined as a confirmed symbol, the promotion effect is compared with the case where the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a black symbol is determined as a confirmed symbol. When it is difficult to execute and when the promotion effect is executed, it becomes easy to be a pattern of promotion success (that is, it is difficult to become a pattern of promotion failure). On the other hand, when a jackpot symbol combination consisting of black symbols is determined as a confirmed symbol, the promotion effect is more easily executed and promoted than when a jackpot symbol combination consisting of blue symbols is determined as a confirmed symbol. When the performance is executed, the pattern is likely to be a promotion failure pattern (that is, it is difficult to be a promotion success pattern).

  Further, in the present embodiment, only when the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol A or symbol D, “start battle from 11R” is determined as the effect content of the promotion effect, and the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol A or In the case of the symbol D, the promotion success pattern (including the promotion pattern UP3) is determined, while the promotion failure pattern is not determined. That is, in the present embodiment, when the promotion effect is started from the round game of the eleventh round, the promotion success pattern (including the promotion pattern UP3) is surely obtained. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the eleventh round as the start time of the promotion effect can be determined only when the pattern of successful promotion is determined by determining the symbols A and D. The promotion effect started from the eleventh round is positioned as a game effect for determining promotion success.

  Next, the content distribution table TJ stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The content distribution table TJ is a table that is referred to when determining the details (specific) of the promotion effect when the overall control CPU 31a determines any of the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in the content distribution table TJ, detailed effect contents of the promotion effect are associated with each of the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4. More specifically, in the content distribution table TJ, the promotion pattern UP1 includes an effect that “a ally character attacks with [weak skill] and wins” and “an ally character attacks with [strong skill]. The contents of the effect of “winning” are associated with each other. In addition, in the content distribution table TJ, the promotion patterns UP2 to UP4 include the production content that “the opponent character attacks and loses with [weak skill]” and “the opponent character attacks with [strong skill]. The content of the effect “defeated” is associated.

  In the content distribution table TJ, a predetermined number of content distribution random values are distributed for each detailed effect content of the promotion effect associated with each of the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4. In the present embodiment, when the promotion pattern UP1 is determined from the distribution mode of the content distribution random number values in the content distribution table TJ, “the ally character wins by attacking with [strong skill]”. Production contents are easily selected. Further, in the present embodiment, when the promotion pattern UP2 or the promotion pattern UP3 is determined, it is easy to select an effect content that “the opponent character attacks and loses with [weak skill]”. When the promotion pattern UP4 is determined, it is easy to select an effect content that “the opponent character attacks and loses with [strong skill]”.

  Next, the ending selection table TL stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The ending selection table TL is a table that is referred to when the overall control CPU 31a determines the content of the ending effect.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the ending selection table TL, the ending effect is provided for each combination of the effect content of the promotion effect (any of the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4 and no promotion effect) and one of the special bonus jackpot symbols. Any one of the ending patterns E1 to E10 indicating the specific contents of the production is associated. In FIG. 18, “-” indicates that an ending pattern is not associated.

  The ending pattern E1 indicates the content of the effect of notifying “Victory” as the final result of the promotion effect and notifying the “highly certain mode MK1” as the mode notification, and the ending pattern E2 is “Victory” as the final result of the promotion effect. And the contents of the effect of notifying “highly certain mode MK2” as mode notification. Further, the ending pattern E3 indicates the content of the effect of notifying the “reversal victory” as the final result of the promotion effect and notifying the “highly determined mode MK1” as the mode notification, and the ending pattern E4 as the final result of the promotion effect. The contents of the effect of notifying “winning in reverse” and notifying “highly determined mode MK2” as mode notification are shown. The ending pattern E5 indicates the effect of notifying “defeat” as the final result of the promotion effect and notifying “high-definition confirmation mode MK1” as the mode notification, and the ending pattern E6 is “defeat” as the final result of the promotion effect. And the contents of the effect of notifying “highly certain mode MK2” as mode notification. The ending pattern E7 indicates the content of the effect of notifying “defeat” as the final result of the promotion effect and notifying the “highly suggestive mode MS” as the mode notification. Further, the ending pattern E8 indicates the effect content for informing the “highly accurate determination mode MK1” as the mode notification, the ending pattern E9 indicates the effect content for informing the “highly accurate confirmation mode MK2” as the mode notification, and the ending pattern E10 indicates the content of the effect of notifying “highly suggestive mode MS” as mode notification.

  In the ending selection table TL, the ending pattern E1 is used for the combination of the promotion pattern UP1 and the symbol A of the jackpot symbol (special symbol), and the ending is used for the combination of the promotion pattern UP1 and the symbol D of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). The pattern E2 is associated. In the ending selection table TL, the ending pattern E3 is used for the combination of the promotion pattern UP2 and the symbol A of the jackpot symbol (special symbol), and the ending is used for the combination of the promotion pattern UP2 and the symbol D of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). A pattern E4 is associated.

  In the ending selection table TL, the ending pattern E5 is used for the combination of the promotion pattern UP3 and the jackpot symbol (special) A, and the ending is used for the combination of the promotion pattern UP3 and the jackpot symbol (special symbol) D. A pattern E6 is associated. In the ending selection table TL, a combination of the promotion pattern UP4 and the symbol C or symbol H of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is associated with the ending pattern E7.

  In the ending selection table TL, the ending pattern E8 is used for the combination of the symbol A with no promotion effect (that is, when the promotion effect cannot be executed) and the symbol A of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). The ending pattern E9 is associated with the combination with the symbol D of the special symbol), and the ending pattern E10 is associated with the combination with the symbol C or the symbol H of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) with no promotion effect.

  As described above, in the ending selection table TL of the present embodiment, the big hit symbol is selected by selecting the ending pattern associated with the type of the big hit symbol (special symbol) in the symbol variable game performed immediately before the big hit game. An ending pattern including a mode notification for notifying an effect mode corresponding to (big hit type) is selected. In particular, when the promotion pattern UP3 is selected, the ally character is defeated in the promotion effect during the round game up to the fifteenth round, and “defeat” is notified as the final result of the promotion effect in the ending effect, The fact that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished is not surely notified. However, in the present embodiment, after the final result of the promotion effect is notified, the notification that the “high certainty confirmation mode MK1” or the “high certainty confirmation mode MK2” is always set is issued.

Next, control in which the overall control CPU 31a determines the effect contents of the opening effect, the effect contents of the round effect, and the effect contents of the ending effect will be described.
The central control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the central control RAM 31c when the opening command is input from the main control CPU 30a, and finally the big hit symbol variation game executed just before the big hit game. Confirm the type of decoration that has been determined as a confirmed symbol to be confirmed and stopped.

  Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines that the decoration design determined as the confirmed symbol is a red symbol (any one of [111], [333], [555], [777], and [888]). The contents of the opening effect for the symbol are determined. In addition, each time the first to fifteenth round commands are input, the overall control CPU 31a determines the effect content for the red design different from the promotion effect as the effect content of the round effect. When the ending command is input, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the overall control RAM 31c, and the special symbol jackpot symbol (stop symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. Check the type. Then, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the ending selection table TL based on the confirmed special jackpot symbol type and the "no promotion effect" effect content, and selects one ending pattern from the ending patterns E8 to E10. Is to decide.

  Further, the overall control CPU 31a determines the effect of the opening effect for the blue symbol when the type of the decorative symbol determined as the final symbol is the blue symbol ([222] and [444]). Subsequently, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the overall control RAM 31c, and confirms the type of special bonus jackpot (stop symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. At the same time, the value of the random number for promotion effect distribution stored in the overall control RAM 31c is acquired. Then, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the promotion effect table TG based on the confirmed type of jackpot symbol and the obtained value of the promotion effect distribution random number, and the content of the promotion effect (whether or not the promotion effect can be executed, and The start round of the promotion effect to be executed is determined. When the overall control CPU 31a determines that the promotion effect cannot be executed (execution failure), each time a round command from the first to the fifteenth round is input, the blue design different from the promotion effect as the effect content of the round effect is input. Determine the content of the production.

  Further, the overall control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the opening effect for the black symbol when the type of the decorative symbol determined as the confirmed symbol is the black symbol ([666]). Subsequently, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the overall control RAM 31c, and confirms the type of special bonus jackpot (stop symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. At the same time, the value of the random number for promotion effect distribution stored in the overall control RAM 31c is acquired. Then, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the promotion effect table TG based on the confirmed type of jackpot symbol and the obtained value of the promotion effect distribution random number, and the content of the promotion effect (whether or not the promotion effect can be executed, and The start round of the promotion effect to be executed is determined. When the overall control CPU 31a determines that the promotion effect cannot be executed (execution failure), a black pattern that is different from the promotion effect as the effect contents of the round effect each time the first to fifteenth round commands are input. Determine the content of the production.

  Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines that the decoration design determined as the confirmed symbol is a blue symbol ([222] and [444]) or a black symbol ([666]), and the promotion effect can be executed. When determined, every time the respective round commands up to the start round of the promotion effect determined at the same time are input, the effect content for the blue symbol or the black symbol different from the promotion effect is determined as the effect content of the round effect. In addition, when determining the eighth round as the start round of the promotion effect, the overall control CPU 31a uses the eighth to eleventh round effects as the promotion contents of the eighth to eleventh rounds. The content of the presentation prepared as (for example, displaying an image showing a situation in which the teammate character and the opponent character face each other) is determined. When the round control command for specifying the eleventh round game is input, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the overall control RAM 31c and is designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. In addition to confirming the type of jackpot symbol (stop symbol) of the special figure, the value of the random number for promotion pattern distribution stored in the overall control RAM 31c is acquired. Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines one of the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4 with reference to the promotion pattern table TH based on the type of the jackpot symbol of the confirmed special figure and the obtained random number for promotion pattern distribution. To do. Subsequently, when the general control CPU 31a inputs a round command designating the twelfth round game, the general control CPU 31a acquires the value of the content distribution random number stored in the general control RAM 31c and the acquired content distribution. Based on the value of the random number for use and the type of the determined promotion pattern, the content distribution table TJ is referred to, and the details (specific) of the promotion effect as the effect contents of the round effects of the 12th to 15th rounds decide.

  When the ending command is input, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the overall control RAM 31c, and the special symbol jackpot symbol (stop symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. Check the type. Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines one ending pattern from the ending patterns E1 to E7 with reference to the ending selection table TL based on the type of jackpot symbol of the confirmed special figure and the determined promotion pattern type. To do.

In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 31a functions as effect content determination means, notification effect determination means, and start time determination means.
As described above, according to the above embodiment, the following operational effects can be achieved.

  (1) In the present embodiment, blue symbols and black symbols are included in the probability variation non-deterministic symbols that can be recognized non-deterministically that the probability variation state may be given after the end of the big hit game. The ease of determining whether or not the promotion effect can be executed during the jackpot game and the ease of determining the pattern of the promotion success as the effect contents of the promotion effect are different for each type of symbol of non-deterministic probability change. With this configuration, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and stopped in the decorative symbol variation game (that is, when the jackpot game is started), the decorative symbols constituting the jackpot symbol combination are blue symbols. Whether the promotion effect is executed during the subsequent jackpot game, and whether the promotion effect is performed in a pattern of successful promotion, depending on whether it is a black symbol or a black symbol. Can be made.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the promotion effect is easy to be executed when the decorative symbol constituting the jackpot symbol combination is a black symbol, while the promotion effect is difficult to be executed in the case of a blue symbol. If it is done, it is highly likely that the promotion will be executed in a pattern of success, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the player regardless of the probability variation non-deterministic pattern. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the effect content of the promotion effect during the jackpot game (that is, the development of the promotion effect) is suggested by the probability variation non-deterministic symbol that is confirmed and stopped at the end of the jackpot symbol variation game. This can increase the player's expectation for promotion.

  (3) During the jackpot game, when the promotion game is set for the 8th and 11th rounds, the promotion is always successful when the promotion game is started in the 11th round. The promotion effect is performed with the pattern (including the promotion pattern UP3). Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the promotion effect is not started from the eighth round, it can be expected that the promotion effect is further started in the eleventh round. In particular, in the present embodiment, even if the big win is a jackpot symbol combination with a blue symbol that is difficult to execute the promotion effect, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's expectation for the promotion effect being started.

  (4) When winning the second probability variation 15R jackpot in which the high probability decision mode MK2 is set after the jackpot game is finished, the jackpot symbol combination including the black symbols is more easily determined as the confirmed symbol than the blue symbols. Further, the black symbol (a jackpot symbol combination consisting of black symbols) is a probability variation non-deterministic symbol that facilitates the promotion effect. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the promotion effect is performed during the big hit game from the situation where the big win symbol combination consisting of the black symbols is displayed in the decorative symbol variation game, and then the high probability determination mode MK2 is set. The player can be made aware of the possibility of On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the promotion effect is difficult to be performed during the big hit game from the situation in which the big hit symbol combination consisting of the blue symbols is displayed in the decorative symbol change game, and is different from the high probability final determination mode MK2. The player can be made aware that there is a possibility that the production mode is set. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, depending on the types of decorations constituting the jackpot symbol combination that is confirmed and stopped in the decorative symbol variation game, the contents of the promotion effect during the jackpot game (that is, the development of the promotion effect). In addition, the effect mode after the big hit game (that is, the development after the end of the big game) can be suggested.

  (5) Even if the jackpot symbol combination consisting of blue symbols is confirmed and stopped as a confirmed symbol, if the promotion effect is executed during the jackpot game, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of black symbols will be confirmed. It is more likely to be a successful promotion pattern than if it was displayed as a fixed stop as a symbol, and the player's expectation will be lost when a big-hit symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol is displayed as a fixed symbol Can be suppressed.

  (6) When determining the promotion pattern UP3, the overall control CPU 31a includes a mode notification that the effect mode corresponding to the selected jackpot type (type of jackpot symbol) is set as the effect content of the ending effect. Determine the ending pattern. For this reason, even if it is the first probability variation 15R big hit or the second probability variation 15R big hit, even if the promotion effect is not executed in the pattern of successful promotion, it corresponds to the type of jackpot and the pachinko gaming machine 10 It is possible to notify that the high-accuracy determination mode MK1 or the high-accuracy determination mode MK2 that can definitely recognize that the gaming state of the current game state is the probability variation state is set.

  (7) When the symbol A or symbol D is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), the overall control CPU 31a can easily determine the jackpot symbol combination including the black symbol rather than the blue symbol, When the symbol H is determined as (special symbol), it is easier to determine a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol than a black symbol. For this reason, in this embodiment, a black symbol can be positioned as a decorative drawing that is highly likely to be given a certain variation state by comparing it with a blue symbol.

  (8) Then, the overall control CPU 31a can determine the promotion success pattern when the symbol A or symbol D is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol) when it is determined that the promotion effect can be executed. On the other hand, when the symbol C or symbol H is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), the promotion failure pattern is determined, so that the effect content of the promotion effect and the game state to be given are surely matched. Can do.

  (9) The decorative drawing of the present embodiment is provided with a probability-changing-determined red symbol that can definitely recognize that the probability-changing state is given, and a probability-changing non-deterministic blue symbol and a black symbol that cannot be definitely recognized. And in the re-variation production of this embodiment, in addition to the situation where the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the blue symbol is promoted to the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the red symbol, the probability variation expectation is more likely from the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the blue symbol. You can create a situation where you are promoted to a jackpot symbol combination consisting of high black symbols. For this reason, in this embodiment, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of a blue symbol (low probability change probability) to a black symbol symbol design (probability change expectation) is not promoted to a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a red symbol with a certain probability change due to re-variation effects. The degree of possibility that the current big hit is a probable big hit can be determined by the player. And even if the jackpot symbol combination consisting of the red symbols is not displayed in the re-variation effect, the player's expectation can be enhanced.

  (10) The overall control CPU 31a first determines the final symbol and the initial temporary symbol, and determines the number of re-variations and the intermediate temporary symbol to re-variate the jackpot symbol combination according to the determined combination of the final symbol and the initial temporary symbol. decide. For this reason, in this embodiment, the re-variation effect can be executed with the intermediate temporary symbol corresponding to the initial temporary symbol and the confirmed symbol, and the number of re-variation times.

  (11) Also, the overall control CPU 31a selects the combination of the detailed effect contents and the intermediate temporary design of the re-lottery effect with reference to the re-variation effect tables TS1 to TS3 based on the determined initial temporary symbol and the determined symbol. By doing this, it is possible to easily select the detailed effect content and the intermediate temporary design of the re-lottery effect and reduce the control burden.

  (12) The overall control CPU 31a determines a jackpot symbol combination (determined symbol and initial temporary symbol) derived in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern. Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines the contents of the effect of the re-change effect and the effect of the promotion effect based on the types of decorations that make up the determined jackpot symbol combination. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is possible to associate the effect contents of the symbol variation game associated with the variation pattern with the jackpot symbol combination derived in the symbol variation game, and the jackpot derived in the symbol variation game Can be associated with the contents of the effect of the re-variation effect and the promotion effect. For this reason, in this embodiment, from the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game and the jackpot symbol combination derived in the symbol variation game, the re-variation effect executed after the derivation of the jackpot symbol combination and promotion during the jackpot game The effect contents of the effect (that is, the development of the subsequent game effect) can be reminded to the player.

  (13) In this embodiment, an initial temporary symbol (provisional jackpot symbol combination) is determined based on the variation pattern. For this reason, the effect content of the symbol variation game can be associated with the type of the first temporary symbol in the revariation effect. Therefore, it is possible to remind the player of the effect of the re-variation effect (the subsequent development of the game effect) from the effect content of the symbol-changing game and the first temporary symbol once stopped and displayed.

  (14) Further, in the present embodiment, when the re-variation effect is executed, the final symbol is determined based on the variation pattern in addition to the initial temporary symbol. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the effect contents of the symbol variation game can be associated with the initial temporary symbol and the final symbol in the revariation effect. For this reason, the re-variation effect can be executed with a combination of the first temporary symbol and the confirmed symbol in accordance with the effect content of the symbol variation game.

  (15) In the present embodiment, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of [8] among the red symbols is associated with only the fixed symbol table TK2 that can be selected when the variation pattern P2B (slip + normal reach) is determined. For this reason, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of [8] among the red symbols can be a decoration diagram that can be derived only by the decoration symbol variation game performed based on the variation pattern P2B. Therefore, in this embodiment, in particular, it is possible to realize a game effect that is closely related to the effect contents of the symbol variation game and the symbol (decorative drawing).

  (16) When winning the second probability variation 15R jackpot where the high probability decision mode MK2 is set after the jackpot game ends, the jackpot symbol combination consisting of black symbols is easily determined as the confirmed symbol, resulting in the black symbols. When the jackpot symbol combination is derived as a confirmed symbol, it is easy to set the high-definition confirmed mode MK2 as an effect mode after the big hit game ends. For this reason, in this embodiment, a black symbol can be positioned as a special decoration that is easily transferred to the high-accuracy determination mode MK2.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
In the above embodiment, a decoration is formed by adding identification information indicating the same character (identification information) as a character (identification information) appearing in a reach production (super reach) that can be specified by a specific variation pattern, and a specific variation When a pattern is selected, it is easy to determine a jackpot symbol combination consisting of a decoration diagram to which identification information indicating the same character as the character appearing in the reach effect that can be specified by the specific variation pattern is added as a confirmed symbol It may be configured. If comprised in this way, the relevance of the production | presentation content of the symbol variation game which can be specified with a variation pattern, and the fixed symbol displayed by fixed stop can be further deepened.

In the above embodiment, the variation pattern for the big hit effect may include a variation pattern that specifies the content of the effect for which the re-variation effect is not performed.
In the above embodiment, as the contents of the re-variation effect, it is possible to select either the re-lottery effect with the effect per reverse rotation or the re-lottery effect without the effect per reverse rotation. It may be possible to execute only one of the re-lottery effects without the effect per reverse rotation, or may be configured to be able to execute the re-variation effect in a different manner.

In the above embodiment, the round of the round game that starts the promotion effect may be set to a round other than the eighth round and the eleventh round.
-In the above embodiment, as the rounds for starting the promotion effect, two types of the eighth round and the eleventh round are set, but only one type of round may be set, and three or more types of rounds are set. May be.

-In the said embodiment, you may change suitably the distribution aspect of the value of each random number in each table. That is, the probability variation expectation may be increased in the order of blue symbol <black symbol <red symbol. In addition, when a confirmed symbol consisting of a blue symbol is determined, it is difficult to determine whether the promotion effect can be executed and a promotion effect is executed compared to the case where the determined symbol consisting of a black symbol is determined. Is configured to be a pattern of successful promotion, and when a confirmed symbol consisting of a black symbol is determined, it is easier to determine whether the promotion effect can be executed than when a determined symbol consisting of a blue symbol is determined. Further, when the promotion effect is executed, it may be configured so that it becomes difficult to become a pattern of successful promotion.
In the above embodiment, the promotion effect table TG shown in FIG. 15 has the “battle start from 8R” associated with the combination of the blue symbol as the confirmed symbol and the symbol C and symbol H of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). You may make it not distribute the value of the promotion production | presentation distribution random number with respect to production | presentation content. If comprised in this way, it is a case where the big hit symbol combination which consists of a blue symbol is displayed on a fixed stop, and when a promotion effect is performed, it becomes a pattern of a promotion success. For this reason, in the symbol variation game, even when the big hit symbol combination consisting of the blue symbols is displayed in a fixed stop state, it is possible to suppress the loss of the player's expectation.

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that a re-change effect may be performed even if it is staying in the high certainty determination mode MK2. In this case, the variation pattern P9 and the variation pattern P10 that can be selected in the high-accuracy determination mode MK2 may be positioned as variation patterns that can execute the re-variation effect.

  -In the above embodiment, as the re-variation effect, the temporary jackpot symbol combination is set once and twice as the number of times to re-variate, but instead of or in addition to this, three or more times may be set, It may be only once.

  In the above embodiment, the overall control CPU 31a determines the final symbol and the initial temporary symbol based on the variation pattern designated by the main control CPU 30a. However, the display control CPU 32a determines the final symbol and the initial symbol based on the variation pattern. You may comprise so that a temporary symbol may be determined. In this case, the overall control board 31 may be omitted. Further, in this case, the overall control CPU 31a determines an effect content pattern that can specify the specific effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the change pattern and instructs the display control CPU 32a, and the display control CPU 32a. However, the determined symbol and the initial temporary symbol may be determined based on the effect content pattern instructed from the overall control CPU 31a.

  -In the said embodiment, although the decoration which can be displayed with the production | presentation display apparatus 22 was made into the red design, the blue design, and the black design, even if the decoration which set different base colors, such as a gold (yellow) design, is provided. Good. In this case, the gold symbol is a symbol with a certain probability change like the red symbol, and the amount of profit that the player can recognize when the jackpot symbol combination is derived for the gold symbol and the red symbol is different. It may be allowed. For example, a probability variation 7R jackpot with a specified number of rounds set to 7 rounds as a type of probability variation jackpot game is further provided, and the red pattern is a decoration that can recognize either the probability variation 7R jackpot or the probability variation 15R jackpot, The symbol may be a decoration that can definitely recognize the probability variation 15R jackpot. Furthermore, in this case, after the re-variation, re-fluctuation, and reverse-per-reverse effects that make up the specific re-lottery effect with the effect per reverse rotation, the decorative pattern that constitutes the symbol combination of the jackpot is changed from the blue design to the black design to the red You may make it change (promote) in order of a symbol-> gold symbol.

  In the above embodiment, the blue symbol and the black symbol are set as the symbols with uncertain change in probability. However, a decorative symbol in which a base color different from the blue symbol and the black symbol is set as the symbols with uncertain change in probability may be further provided. In this case, it is possible to provide a plurality of promotion patterns in the probability variation non-deterministic symbol by changing the probability variation expectation level for each symbol in the probability variation non-deterministic symbol.

  In the above embodiment, different base colors such as white and green may be set instead of the base colors set for the red design, the blue design, and the black design. Further, instead of being configured to be identifiable as a symbol with a certain probability change and a symbol with an uncertain probability variation according to the set basic color, it may be identifiable by adding predetermined additional information (for example, a character or a symbol). .

-In the said embodiment, you may change suitably the ratio which occupies for the number of types of a red design, a blue design, and a black design, and the number of types of a decoration drawing.
-In the above-mentioned embodiment, although two decoration drawing groups were provided, you may make it run a symbol change game using the symbols which belong to the same decoration drawing group in all the production modes as only one decoration drawing group. . Further, three or more decorative group groups may be provided, and the symbol variation game may be executed using symbols belonging to different decorative group groups in all effect modes.

-In the said embodiment, although the decoration drawing was made into the numerical design, you may comprise by a predetermined character and a symbol.
In the above embodiment, a plurality of confirmed symbols are associated in the confirmed symbol tables TK0 to TK9. However, a confirmed symbol table in which only one confirmed symbol is associated may be provided.

In the above embodiment, the type of jackpot may be changed as appropriate. For example, a probabilistic 2R jackpot or a non-probable 2R jackpot may be provided. Further, a small hit may be provided in addition to the big hit.
