Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine or an arrangement ball machine.

  For example, in a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, when the symbol starting means detects a game ball, variable memory information such as a jackpot determination random number value is obtained from the random number generating means and a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four) is obtained. The information is stored in the information storage means as a limit, and each time the symbol display means is in a variable state, the variable storage information is sequentially extracted from the information storage means, and the jackpot determination random number value of the variable storage information is determined in advance. It is determined whether or not the values match, and if they match, the symbol change is performed by the symbol display means so as to stop in the losing mode if they do not match. It is configured so that the player can enjoy a great profit by releasing the winning means.

  Further, for example, in Patent Document 1, whether or not the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value is determined in advance when the jackpot determination random value is acquired, that is, when the symbol starting means detects the game ball. A pachinko machine is proposed that is configured to perform a notice effect based on the determination result.

  As a notice effect based on the prior determination of such a random number, in order to indicate to the player that there is a high possibility that the specific reserved memory is a jackpot determination random number value that matches the jackpot determination value, the symbol corresponding to the reserved memory It is conceivable to give continuous notice over multiple fluctuations up to the fluctuation.

  When performing such continuous notice, it is necessary not only when the jackpot determination random number stored in the pending storage matches the jackpot determination value, but also in other cases it is necessary to perform so-called continuous notice with a certain probability. When the continuous notice of this gaze is performed, the effect of the production will be halved if the continuous notice ends with the fluctuation of symbols other than the reach. Therefore, the final fluctuation of the gaze continuous notice should be changed as much as possible. There is a request.

  However, the pattern variation pattern is usually determined based on a random number related to a variation pattern different from the jackpot determination random number value. Therefore, in order to make the final symbol variation reach reach variation in the case of continuous notice of gasses in conventional ball game machines, not only the jackpot determination random number value but also the random value related to the variation pattern is determined in advance. Only the reach change pattern should be used only for the reach change pattern, or the last symbol change in the goose continuous notice should be forced to be the reach change pattern regardless of the random number related to the change pattern. There is no method, but in any case, there are problems such as complicated control.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and in performing continuous notice indicating that there is a high possibility that a jackpot determination random number value that matches the jackpot determination value is included in the pending storage, a disturbance related to a fluctuation pattern An object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine capable of making reach variation with high probability the final symbol variation of continuous notice without forcibly changing the variation pattern selected by numerical values.

According to the present invention, a symbol starting means 16 capable of detecting a game ball, and a game symbol according to a predetermined variation pattern are displayed in accordance with a predetermined variation pattern based on variable memory information acquired based on the fact that the symbol starting means 16 detects the game ball. A game symbol display means 23 for storing, information storage means 53 for storing a predetermined upper limit number until the variable memory information is subjected to symbol fluctuation by the game symbol display means 23, and stored in the information storage means 53. The special profit state is based on the fact that the jackpot determination random number value in the variable storage information matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, and the stop symbol after the change of the game symbol display means 23 is in a predetermined jackpot mode. In the ball game machine provided with the special profit state generating means 55 for generating the game ball, when the symbol starting means 16 detects the game ball, it is acquired by the detection. A prior determination unit 58 for determining whether or not the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value, and a continuous notification state in which a predetermined notification effect is performed over a plurality of symbol variations by the game symbol display unit 23. The continuous notice start means 91 that is started based on the determination result by the prior decision means 58, and the continuous notice state started by the continuous notice start means 91 is the determination result when the continuous notice state is started. And a continuous notice end means 92 for ending up to a symbol change corresponding to the game, and the continuous notice end means 92 during the continuous notice state, the game symbol by the game symbol display means 23 and / or its game symbol. When the variation pattern of the production symbol by the production symbol display means 25 that fluctuates in parallel becomes the reach fluctuation pattern via the reach state The, the one with a symbol variation to terminate the continuous announcement state, without quitting is configured to select whether to continue as it is at a predetermined probability, said during continuous announcement state newly said start the continuous announcement state In the case of not being in a continuous notice state, if the jackpot determination random number value stored in the information storage means 53 is coincident with the jackpot determination value, the continuous notification state is not started. It is configured as follows.

According to the present invention, it is possible to set the final symbol variation in the continuous notice state to reach variation with high probability without forcibly changing the variation pattern selected by the random number value regarding the variation pattern.

  The normal random number generation processing means 41 is configured to repeatedly generate a hit determination random number or the like used for determining whether or not the changed normal symbol is set as a hit mode at predetermined time intervals. The normal starting port check processing means 42 performs processing based on the detection of the game ball by the normal symbol starting means 15. Based on the fact that the normal symbol starting means 15 detects the game ball, the normal random number generating processing means 41. One hit determination random number value is acquired, and the hit determination random number value is stored in the normal random number storage means 43 up to a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four).

  The normal symbol processing means 44 performs processing related to the normal symbol fluctuation display, and includes a hit determination means 61, a normal stop symbol selection means 62, a fluctuation time selection means 63, and the like. The hit determination means 61 determines whether or not the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol is used as a hit state. The normal symbol display means 22 is in a state where the variable symbol display is possible and one is stored in the normal random number storage means 43. On condition that the above hit determination random number value is stored (the number of normal holdings is 1 or more), the hit determination random value stored in the normal random number storage means 43 is taken out first, and the hit determination random value Is configured to make a hit / miss determination according to whether or not matches a predetermined hit determination value.

  In the present embodiment, the number of hit determination values used for the hit determination by the hit determination means 61 is different between the special game state described later and the other normal game states, thereby determining the hit probability in the special game state. (For example, 1 / 1.3) is set higher than the hit probability (for example, 1/10) in the normal gaming state.

  The normal stop symbol selection means 62 selects the type of stop symbol after the normal symbol changes. In this embodiment, only one type of symbol corresponds to the hit mode and the miss mode. Therefore, based on the hit / miss judgment result by the hit judgment function, “○” In the case of determination of detachment, “×” is selected uniformly. The variation time selection means 63 is for selecting the variation time of the normal symbol. In the present embodiment, the variation time (for example, 2.7 seconds) in the special gaming state is set to be shorter than the variation time (for example, 27 seconds) in the normal gaming state.

  The normal profit state generating means 45 is a lower special start port when the determination result by the hit determining means 61 of the normal symbol processing means 44 is a hit determination and the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 22 is in a hit state. The opening / closing means 28 of 27b is changed to an open state according to any of a plurality of types of opening / closing patterns. In the present embodiment, a normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × opened once) and a special opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds) set so that the opening time and / or the number of times of opening are larger than the normal opening / closing pattern. 2 types of opening / closing patterns are set. The normal opening / closing pattern is selected during the normal gaming state, and the special opening / closing pattern is selected during the special gaming state.

  The normal symbol display control means 46 controls the display of the normal symbol display means 22 based on the normal symbol processing by the normal symbol processing means 44. The normal symbol display means 22 is in a state in which the normal symbol display means 22 can be variably displayed and the normal random number storage means. The normal symbol display means 22 starts to change the normal symbol on the condition that one or more hit determination random number values are stored in 43 (the normal holding number is 1 or more). Based on the elapse of the selected variation time, the variation of the normal symbol is stopped at the stop symbol selected by the normal stop symbol selecting means 62.

  The special random number creation processing means 51, in addition to the jackpot determination random number used for the determination as to whether the special symbol after the change is to be the big hit mode or the off mode, the stop symbol when the special symbol after the change becomes the big hit mode A special random number generating process for repeatedly generating a jackpot symbol random number used for selection, a variation pattern selection random number used for selecting a variation pattern of a production symbol, and other predetermined random numbers is performed. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the jackpot determination random number is set in the range of 0 to 349 and the jackpot symbol random number is set in the range of 0 to 9, respectively.

  The special start port check processing means 52 performs a process based on winning of a game ball to the special symbol start means 16, and the special symbol start means 16 detects a game ball, that is, the special start ports 27a and 27b have a game. Based on the winning of the ball, the jackpot determination random number value, the jackpot symbol random number value and the variation pattern selection random number value (an example of variation memory information) created by the special random number creation processing means 51 are obtained one by one, The determination random number value, the winning symbol random number value, and the variation pattern selection random number value are stored in the special random number storage means 53 with a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, four each) as a limit.

  The special symbol processing means 54 performs processing related to special symbol fluctuation display, and includes a big hit determination means 71, a special stop symbol selection means 72, a fluctuation pattern selection means 73, and the like. The jackpot determining means 71 is for determining whether the special symbol after variation is to be a jackpot mode or out-of-track mode by random number lottery. The special symbol display unit 23 is in a state in which variable display is possible and the special random number storage unit On the condition that 53 or more jackpot determination random number values are stored in 53 (the number of special hold is 1 or more), the jackpot determination random number value stored first in the special random number storage means 53 is extracted, The jackpot determination random number value is configured to determine whether or not the jackpot is determined based on whether or not the jackpot determination random number matches a predetermined jackpot determination value.

  In the present embodiment, as the jackpot determination value, for example, “7” of 0 to 349, for example, in a normal probability state other than the high probability state described later, and in addition to “7” in the high probability state, It is assumed that a plurality (for example, a total of 10) such as “17” and “27” are set.

  The special stop symbol selection means 72 selects the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the special symbol, and is stored in the special random number storage means 53 together with the jackpot determination random number value and the determination result of the big hit / loss by the jackpot determination means 71. Based on the jackpot symbol random number value, it is configured to select either one or a plurality of jackpot modes in the case of jackpot determination, and one or more types of tabular modes in the case of miss determination Yes.

  The variation pattern selection means 73 selects the variation pattern of the effect design. The variation pattern selection disorder stored in the special random number storage means 53 together with the jackpot determination random number value and the determination result of the jackpot determination / defeat by the jackpot determination means 71. Based on the numerical value, one is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the determination result by the jackpot determination means 71 is a jackpot determination, any one of a plurality of types of reach jackpot variation patterns, and in the case of a disconnection determination, a plurality of types of reach-out variation Each of the pattern and one or a plurality of types of unreachable variation patterns is selected, and the distribution ratio between the unreachable variation pattern and the unreachable variation pattern in the case of determination of decoupling is, for example, 1 It is assumed that / 10 and 9/10 are set.

  The special profit state generating means 55 is for generating a special profit state in which the big winning means 17 is opened according to a predetermined opening pattern, and the determination result by the big hit determination means 71 is a big hit determination, and the special symbol display means 23 is special. The special profit state is generated based on the fact that the stop symbol after the symbol changes becomes a jackpot.

  The opening pattern of the present embodiment is such that a predetermined time (for example, 28 seconds) elapses from the opening of the large winning means 17 or that a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls have been won by that time. Is set to perform a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds), but a plurality of types of opening patterns are provided, and for example, one of them is selected based on a jackpot symbol random number value. You may comprise.

  The special symbol display control means 56 controls the display of the special symbol display means 23. Based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 54, the special symbol display means 23 starts the variation of the special symbol, and the variation pattern is selected. Based on the elapse of the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern selected by the means 73, the variation of the special symbol is stopped at the stop symbol selected by the special stop symbol selection means 72.

  The special gaming state generating means 57 is for generating a special gaming state advantageous to the player during a predetermined period after the big hit state is generated, and includes a short time state generating means 57a and a high probability state generating means 57b.

  The time-short state generating means 57a is a special game state when the jackpot determination random number value stored in the special random number storage means 53 matches the jackpot determination value and the jackpot symbol random number value does not match a predetermined high probability determination value. As a matter of course, the short time state is generated until a predetermined period, for example, a special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times. During the short-time state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol display means 23 is switched to a shortened fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time for the special symbol, and the hit probability for the normal symbol is a normal probability (for example, 1/10) to a high probability (for example, 1/10). For example, to 1 / 1.3), the fluctuation time is changed from a normal fluctuation time (for example, 27 seconds) to a shortened fluctuation time (for example, 2.7 seconds). It is possible to switch from a special opening / closing pattern (for example, opening for 2 seconds × 3 times) to a special opening / closing pattern (0.2 seconds × opening once).

  The high-probability state generating means 57b is in the special gaming state when the jackpot determination random number value stored in the special random number storage means 53 matches the jackpot determination value and the jackpot symbol random number value matches a predetermined high probability determination value. As one example, a high probability state is generated for a predetermined period, for example, until the next jackpot occurrence. During the high probability state, the number of jackpot determination values is increased from, for example, 1 to 10, compared to other normal probability states, so that the probability that the special symbol becomes a jackpot mode is a normal probability (for example, 1/350). ) And a higher probability (for example, 1/35), and for example, processing similar to the time-short state is also performed in parallel.

  When the special symbol starting unit 16 detects a game ball, the prior determination unit 58 determines the contents of the jackpot determination random number value acquired by the detection. For example, the jackpot determination random number value is in the normal probability state. It is comprised so that it may determine whether it corresponds with a corresponding jackpot determination value. If the special symbol starting means 16 detects a game ball when the special reserved number is four, the jackpot determination random number value is not stored, and therefore the determination by the prior determination means 58 is not performed.

  The control command transmission means 59 is for transmitting a predetermined control command to the sub-control board side such as the effect control board 32 by one-way communication to give a control command, and based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 54. A function for transmitting a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern, a special stop symbol designation command for designating a special stop symbol, a variation stop command for instructing the special symbol to be stopped, etc., and a special gaming state occurrence A function for transmitting a special game state generation command, a special game state end command, etc. to the effect control board 32 side according to the special game state when the special game state is generated and ended by the means 57, and the determination result by the prior determination means 58 In addition to the function of transmitting a special reserved number designation command for designating a special reserved number to the production control board 32 side, an example If on the basis of various gaming state from special interests state includes image, audio, a function for transmitting a control command for lamp performance control board 32 side.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, four types of commands corresponding to the four reserved storages from the hold 1 to the hold 4 correspond to the two types of special hits and misses, as shown in FIG. In addition to the information about the number of the reserved storage, whether or not the jackpot determination random number value of the reserved storage matches the jackpot determination value (here, the jackpot determination value at the normal probability) Information on whether or not is also added.

  The effect control board 32 is for controlling various effect means such as the effect symbol display means 25, the special reserved number display means 26, the notice effect display means 30, the sound output means 81, the lamp means 82, and the effect symbol display control. Means 83, command determination means 84, special reserved number display control means 85, continuous notice control means 86, voice control means 87, lamp control means 88, and the like.

  The effect symbol display control means 83 controls the display of the effect symbol display means 25. When the change pattern designation command is received from the main control board 31 side, the effect symbol display means 25 is based on the designated variation pattern. When the change design command is started, and when the change stop command is received, the change of the design design is stopped at the stop design selected based on the special stop design specification command and the change pattern specification command. Yes.

  Based on the special number-of-holds designation command transmitted from the main control board 31, the command determination means 84 corresponds to the number of the number of reserved memories, and the reserved memory is a big hit at the normal probability. It is comprised so that it may determine which corresponds.

  The special reserved number display control means 85 controls the display of the special reserved number display means 26, and a new game ball is detected by the special symbol starting means 16, and a special reserved number designation command is received from the main control board 31. Sometimes, a symbol is displayed at a predetermined position on the display screen 21a of the image display device 21 based on the determination result by the command determination means 84, that is, the number of the reserved storage corresponding to the special reservation number designation command. One X is additionally displayed.

  Further, when the symbol variation by the special symbol display means 23 is newly started and the special reserved number decreases, the special reserved number display control means 85 starts from the main control board 31 when the symbol variation starts by the special symbol display means 23. On the condition that a command to be transmitted, for example, a variation pattern designation command is received, the first symbol X displayed on the special reserved number display means 26 is deleted and the second and subsequent symbols X are displayed. If they are, they are shifted forward one by one.

  The continuous notice control means 86 controls the occurrence of a continuous notice state in which the notice effect by the notice effect display means 30 is performed over a plurality of symbol variations by the special symbol display means 23. The continuous notice start means 91 and the continuous notice end means 92, and is configured to execute the continuous notice control process as shown in FIG. 6 when the control command is received, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the continuous notice control process by the continuous notice control means 86, for example, a continuous notice start process (S1) by the continuous notice start means 91 and a continuous notice end process (S2) by the continuous notice end means 92 are performed. It is supposed to be executed.

  The continuous notice start means 91 starts a continuous notice state based on the determination result by the prior decision means 58, and includes a first continuous notice start means 91a and a second continuous notice start means 91b. The continuous notice start process (S1) in FIG. 6) is executed.

  In the continuous notice start processing (S1) by the continuous notice start means 91, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, it is first determined whether or not a special reserved number designation command has been received (S11), and if it is determined that it has been received. (S11: Yes), it is determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice counter is 0 (S12).

  Here, the continuous notice counter indicates the number of times the special symbol fluctuates until the end of the continuous notice state when the continuous notice state occurs. If the counter value is greater than zero, the continuous notice counter is displayed. It can be judged that it is in a state.

  If it is determined in S12 that the value of the continuous notice counter is not greater than 0, that is, it is not in the continuous notice state (S12: No), the received special reserved number designation command is received based on the determination result of the command determination means 84. It is determined which corresponds to a jackpot or a loss of normal probability (S13).

  If the received special reserved number designation command corresponds to the jackpot at the normal probability (S13: Yes), the first continuous notice start means 91a performs random lottery as to whether or not to start the continuous notice state ( S14) When a lottery result indicating that the continuous notice state is started with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/2) is obtained (S15: Yes), the special reserved number at that time is displayed in the gasse flag in the continuous notice counter. 0 is set (S16).

  Here, the gaze flag indicates whether or not the continuous notice state is a so-called gasse continuous notice state started based on a jackpot judgment random number value that does not match the jackpot judgment value. For example, 1 is set, and if not, 0 is set, for example.

  On the other hand, if the received special reserved number designation command corresponds to a failure (S13: No), the second continuous notice start means 91b performs a random number lottery to determine whether or not to start the continuous notice state of the gas. (S17) When a lottery result indicating that the continuous notice state of gas is started with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/50) is obtained (S18: Yes), the special reserved number at that time is stored in the continuous notice counter. , 1 is set to the gas flag (S19).

  In the continuous notice end processing (S2) by the continuous notice end means 92, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, it is first determined whether or not the value of the continuous notice counter is 0, that is, whether or not the continuous notice state is in effect. (S21). If the value of the continuous notice counter is not 0, that is, during the continuous notice state (S21: No), whether or not the variation of the special symbol has been started, that is, for example, the fluctuation pattern designation command is received from the main control board 31 side. If it is determined whether or not the special symbol has started to change (S22: Yes), for example, a notice effect display such as “chance” is displayed on the notice effect display means 30 for a predetermined period. For example, it is output for a short time (S23).

  Then, when the variation of the effect design at that time is not the reach variation pattern (S24: No), and when the gaze flag is not 1 even if it is the reach variation pattern (S24: Yes → S25: No), the continuous notice counter The value is subtracted by 1 (S27), and the continuous notice end processing ends here.

  As described above, during the continuous notice state, the notice effect is continuously performed for every change of the special symbol until the value of the continuous notice counter becomes 0. It becomes a big hit mode in the last symbol variation in the state.

  On the other hand, when the variation of the production symbol is a reach variation pattern and the gas flag is 1, that is, when the variation of the production symbol becomes the reach variation pattern during the continuous notice state of the gas (S24: Yes → S25: Yes). ), 0 is set in the continuous notice counter (S26), and the continuous notice state ends with the symbol variation.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the continuous notice state of gas is started, if the change of the production symbol becomes the reach fluctuation pattern during the continuous notice state, the continuous notice state is terminated with the symbol change. Therefore, when performing the continuous notice state of the gasses, it is possible to set the final symbol fluctuation in the continuous notice state to reach fluctuation with high probability. In addition, it is not necessary to determine a random number other than the jackpot determination random number in advance, and it is not necessary to forcibly change the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection unit 73 based on the variation pattern selection random value.

  In addition, when the symbol variation is caused by the reach variation pattern in the middle of the continuous notice state, the continuous notice state is terminated with the symbol change because the continuous notice state is started by the second successive notice start means 91b. This is only in the case of the continuous notice state, so if the player does not end the continuous notice state even if the reach changes, it can be determined that the continuous notice state is not a frustration, and there is an advantage that the production effect is improved. is there.

  The audio control unit 87 performs audio output control of the audio output unit 81 such as a speaker, and outputs a predetermined sound effect or the like from the audio output unit 81 based on an audio control command from the main control board 31 side. It has become. The lamp control means 88 controls the display of the lamp means 82 and the like, and causes the lamp means 82 and the like to emit light in a predetermined pattern based on a lamp control command from the main control board 31 side.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, when the special symbol starter 16 detects a game ball, it is determined whether or not the jackpot determination random number obtained by the detection matches the jackpot determination value. The prior notice means 58, the continuous notice start means 91 for starting a continuous notice state in which a notice effect is performed over a plurality of symbol variations by the special symbol display means 23, based on the determination result by the prior decision means 58, and this continuous And a continuous notice end means 92 for ending the continuous notice state started by the notice start means 91 up to the symbol fluctuation corresponding to the determination result by the prior decision means 58 when the continuous notice state is started. The notice end means 92 changes the effect symbol display means 25 that fluctuates in parallel with the special symbol by the special symbol display means 23 during the continuous notice state. When the variation pattern of the effect design becomes the reach variation pattern, the continuous advance notice state is changed with the design change only when it is in the continuous notice state of the gas started by the second continuous notice start means 91b. Since it is configured to terminate, the random pattern other than the jackpot determination random number is not determined in advance, and the variation pattern selected based on the variation pattern selection random value by the variation pattern selection unit 73 is forcibly changed. Without this, it is possible to make the final symbol variation in the continuous notice state of Gase a reach variation with a high probability. In addition, if the continuous notice state does not end even when the reach variation occurs, the player can determine that the continuous notice state is not a frustration, and there is an advantage that the production effect is improved.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, it is configured to always end the continuous notice state when the reach change occurs during the continuous notice state of the gasset. The continuous notice state may be continued as it is with a probability (for example, 1/50). As a result, even if the continuous notice state does not end due to reach fluctuation, the continuous notice state may be gusseted, and there is an advantage that the interest is further improved.

  In addition, when the reach fluctuation occurs not only during the continuous preliminary running state of the gas but during all the continuous preliminary notice states, for example, the continuous notice state may be terminated with the symbol fluctuation with a predetermined probability.

  In the embodiment, it is configured not to newly start the continuous notice state during the continuous notice state. However, even if it is in the continuous notice state, for example, if it is a continuous notice state of GASE, a new continuous notice state is newly started. You may comprise so that it can do. That is, during the continuous notice state, the continuous notice state may be newly started only when the continuous notice state is started by the first continuous notice start means 91a.

  Even if it is not in the continuous notice state, it may be configured not to start the continuous notice state when there is something corresponding to the jackpot in the on-hold storage. Further, when the special symbol becomes a big hit during the continuous notice state, the continuous notice state may be terminated at that time.

  Alternatively, the continuous notice state may be started only when the special reserved number is a predetermined number or more (for example, three or more). Note that the continuous notice state performs a notice effect over a plurality of symbol variations, but in the case of the present invention, if the reach variation occurs in the first symbol variation in the continuous notice state, the result is continuously continuous. The notice state may end with one symbol change.

  In the embodiment, an example in which “chance” or the like is displayed on the notice effect display unit 30 on the image display device 21 is shown as an example of the notice effect. However, for example, the notice effect display is performed by other display means or a lamp. You may make it do, and you may make it perform a notice effect by an audio | voice output, the action | operation of a movable body, etc. Further, the notice effect may be performed not only at the start of symbol variation but also continuously or intermittently from the start to the end of the continuous notice state.

  The present invention is applicable not only to various pachinko machines such as pachinko machines equipped with a plurality of sets of special symbol display means 23 and special symbol start means 16, but also to various ball game machines such as arrange ball machines and sparrow ball game machines. Can be implemented.
