Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that displays a symbol variation game on a display device in accordance with a selected variation pattern.

  Conventionally, a pachinko gaming machine, which is a type of gaming machine, includes a main control board for instructing the contents and time of effects of a symbol variation game, and an effect control board for controlling the effects based on instructions from the main control board. . This symbol variation game is normally performed based on a variation pattern that can specify the contents of the effect and the variation time. The variation pattern is selected from a distribution table in which the main control board acquires a random number value for selecting the variation pattern at the start of the symbol variation game, and distributes the variation pattern based on the acquired value. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  In Patent Document 1, the main control board selects one table from a plurality of distribution tables (variation pattern selection table), and identifies one variation pattern based on the variation pattern selection random number value from the table. To do. Specifically, in the variation pattern selection table (FIG. 22) of Patent Document 1, a subtraction value is associated with each variation pattern, and the main control board subtracts a subtraction value from the obtained variation pattern selection random number value. Is subtracted. When the value after the subtraction is larger than 00H, the main control board extracts the subtraction value associated with the next variation pattern and repeats the subtraction, and the value after the subtraction becomes smaller than 00H. At the time, the fluctuation pattern from which the subtraction value is extracted is specified as the fluctuation pattern to be selected this time. The variation pattern is specified by extracting a special symbol variation offset value corresponding to each variation pattern in the variation pattern selection table.

  By the way, in recent pachinko machines, it is desired to diversify the effects of the symbol variation game in order to enhance the interest of the player. In order to meet such a demand, it is necessary to store a large number of variation patterns serving as the base of the effect of the symbol variation game on the main control board. However, in the conventional method of associating data for specifying a variation pattern for each variation pattern (in Patent Document 1, a special symbol variation offset value), the number of variation patterns to be distributed in the distribution table increases. The number of data specifying the fluctuation pattern will also increase. That is, as the variation pattern increases, the data capacity in the distribution table also increases. Therefore, an increase in the data capacity in the distribution table leads to the compression of the data storage area in the main control board, so it is difficult to increase the variation pattern.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a gaming machine capable of realizing an increase in the number of fluctuation patterns while suppressing an increase in data capacity. It is to provide.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a variation pattern that can specify a variation time of a symbol variation game and an effect mode from the start of the symbol variation game to the end of the variation pattern. In a gaming machine that selects a variation pattern and displays the symbol variation game on a display device according to the selected variation pattern, a first variation pattern specifying table that stores only a variation pattern specifying data value is stored. And a variation pattern specifying table storing a variation pattern selection determination value used when selecting the variation pattern, and the variation pattern specifying data value corresponding to the determination value. Second storage means for storing a judgment value table storing a specific value for performing, a variation pattern selection random number value and the variation pattern Comparing the judgment value for selecting, selecting means for selecting the change pattern based on the comparison result, with a data value for the fluctuation pattern specifying the change pattern specified from the variation pattern specifying table On the other hand, a plurality of variation patterns that can be selected when a predetermined regulation condition is satisfied are selected based on the regularly arranged variation pattern designation commands. And the selection means predetermines the determination value for the variation pattern selection and the random number for variation pattern selection stored in the determination value table in the determination value table. According to the comparison order, and as a result of comparing the variation pattern selection random number value with the variation pattern selection determination value, the determination value When it is determined that the corresponding variation pattern is not the variation pattern to be selected, the comparison order shifts to a process of comparing the next variation pattern selection determination value with the variation pattern selection random number value, and the variation As a result of comparing the random value for pattern selection and the determination value for variation pattern selection, if it is determined that the variation pattern corresponding to the determination value is the variation pattern to be selected, it is stored in the determination value table. A variation pattern specifying data value corresponding to the determination value is extracted from the variation pattern specifying table specified by the specified value, and a variation pattern corresponding to the extracted data value is selected, and the first The storage means stores fewer types of variation pattern specifying tables than the judgment value table stored in the second storage means. In addition, a part or all of the variation pattern specifying table stores a specific value for specifying the variation pattern specifying table in a plurality of determination value tables, so that the selection unit uses the determination value table. The variation pattern selection determination value and the variation pattern selection random number value are compared, and a variation pattern identification table for extracting a variation pattern identification data value corresponding to the determination value is shared. Is the gist.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the selection unit is configured to select the variation pattern selection determination value and the variation pattern selection random number stored in the determination value table. As a result of comparing the random value for variation pattern selection with the determination value for variation pattern selection as a result of comparison in accordance with the comparison order of the determination values predetermined in the determination value table. When it is determined that the pattern is not a variation pattern to be selected, a predetermined value is added to an address value for specifying a determination value to be compared next in the determination value table, so that the next comparison target And a variation pattern identification data value corresponding to a determination value to be compared next is identified for the variation pattern identification table. Whether or not the variation pattern is to be selected by identifying the variation pattern identification data value corresponding to the determination value to be compared next by adding the same value as the predetermined value to the address value for As a result of comparing the variation pattern selection random number value with the variation pattern selection determination value, a variation pattern to be selected by the variation pattern corresponding to the determination value is prepared. Is extracted from the variation pattern specifying table specified by the specific value stored in the determination value table, the variation pattern specifying data value corresponding to the determination value is extracted. The gist is to select a variation pattern corresponding to the extracted data value .

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first or second aspect, the plurality of determination value tables storing the same specific value as the specific value for specifying the variation pattern specifying table include: When a different number of determination values are stored and a determination value that can extract the same data value as the data value for specifying the variation pattern is compared with the value of the variation pattern selection random number by the selection unit Of the plurality of determination value tables storing the same specific value in the variation pattern specifying table shared by the plurality of determination value tables. The gist is that the same number of data values for specifying the variation pattern as the judgment values stored in the judgment value table having the largest number of judgment values stored are stored.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the same specific value is stored as a specific value for specifying the variation pattern specifying table. In the determination value table, a determination that can be selected from a predetermined determination value table and that can be selected as a variation pattern by which the selection unit should select the specific variation pattern for a specific variation pattern that cannot be selected from another determination value table. While the value is stored only in the predetermined determination value table, in the other determination value table, the selection unit selects the determination value corresponding to the specific variation pattern and the random number for variation pattern selection in the predetermined determination value table. The special judgment values are stored in the same order as the comparison order for comparing the values of the values, and the selection means stores the special judgment values in the other judgment value table. When comparing the values of the change pattern selection random number and the special determination value had, and summarized in that is composed of a numerical value equal to or less than the value of the change pattern selection random number.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the variation pattern that can be selected when the specified condition is satisfied is a variation pattern that involves reach variation. The variation pattern accompanying the reach variation is a variation corresponding to a variation pattern specifying data value corresponding to the determination value from the variation pattern specifying table specified by the specific value stored in the determination value table. While a pattern is selected, a variation pattern that does not involve reach variation is selected from a determination value table that stores a determination value for selecting the variation pattern and a data value for specifying the variation pattern corresponding to the determination value. This is the gist.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the judgment value table includes different types of profits obtained and different selection means. The gist is that it is provided for at least one of the gaming states when the variation pattern is selected.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to increase the number of fluctuation patterns while suppressing an increase in data capacity.

A speaker 17 serving as a sound output device that outputs various sounds (sound effects) and performs a game effect (sound effect) based on the sound output is disposed below the outer frame 11 (lower part of the pachinko gaming machine 10). . A lower tray unit 18 a having a lower ball tray 18 and a launching device 19 are attached to the lower part of the middle frame 12. Then, when the player operates the launching device 19, the game balls stored in the upper ball tray 15 are launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13. Note that the strength of the launching of the game ball launched toward the game area 13 a is set according to the operation amount of the launching device 19.

  On the front surface of the game board 13, a guide rail 20 that guides a game ball launched by the operation of the launcher 19 and forms a substantially circular game area 13a that is the main body of a pachinko game is laid in a circular spiral shape. Yes. By this guide rail 20, a game ball guide path 21 extending from the lower left to the upper left of the game board 13 is formed on the game board 13, and a game area 13 a is formed inside the guide rail 20. . A firing rail (not shown) that is attached to the middle frame 12 and guides a game ball hit by the operation of the firing unit is disposed below the guide path 21. Further, the outside of the game area 13a, which is the front surface of the game board 13 and outside the guide rail 20, is a non-game area 13b that is not directly involved in the pachinko game.

  A display frame body (center accessory) 23 with various display devices and various decorations is attached to the center (center) of the game area 13a of the game board 13. A set opening 23a that opens in a horizontally long rectangle when viewed from the front is formed in the approximate center of the display frame 23, and the display frame 23 has a liquid crystal display type image display portion GH in alignment with the set opening 23a. An effect display device H2 as a display device is attached. The effect display device H2 includes a symbol variation game executed by varying a plurality of types of symbols, and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are displayed as images. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device H2, 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 H2 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects.

  Also, below the display frame 23, a first special symbol display device H1a and a second special symbol display device H1b are arranged as light-emitting display devices. The first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b of the present embodiment are 7-segment LED display devices. On the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b, a symbol variation game executed by varying a plurality of symbols is displayed in a luminescent manner. In the present embodiment, in each symbol variation game of the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b, a symbol combination consisting of a plurality of symbols (two columns in this embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b is performed using a special symbol serving as a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) whether or not the big hit. Is called.

  The symbol variation game of the first special symbol display device H1a and the symbol variation game of the second special symbol display device H1b are performed independently, and either one of the symbol variation games according to a predetermined priority order. Only is to be done. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the symbol variation game of the second special symbol display device H1b is set to have a higher priority than the symbol variation game of the first special symbol display device H1a. That is, the symbol variation game of the first special symbol display device H1a is executed until the symbol variation game of the second special symbol display device H1b being executed ends, and the symbols of the second special symbol display device H1b that are held. Until the floating game is consumed (second hold memory number to be described later = 0), the game is kept in a standby state. Since the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a first special symbol and a second special symbol, it is configured as a pachinko gaming machine of a type in which two special symbols are mounted.

  In the first special symbol display device H1a and the effect display device H2, and in the second special symbol display device H1b and the effect display device H2, the change of the symbols (special symbols and decorative symbols) is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol change game. Specifically, with the start of the symbol change game, the first special symbol display device H1a (or the second special symbol display device H1b) starts to change the special symbols in each column, while the effect display device H2 The variation of the decorative pattern in each row starts. Then, in the first special symbol display device H1a (or the second special symbol display device H1b) and the effect display device H2, based on the lottery result of the big win lottery, the big win symbol or the off symbol is simultaneously stopped at the end of the symbol variation game. Displayed (deterministic stop display). At this time, in the first special symbol display device H1a (or the second special symbol display device H1b) and the effect display device H2, if the lottery result of the big win lottery is a big hit, the big hit symbol is fixed on any display device. When the lottery result of the big hit lottery is displayed, the display of the off symbol is confirmed and stopped on any display device. The jackpot symbol is a symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a big hit, and the off symbol is a symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is missing. It is what is done.

  In the present embodiment, one special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b from among a plurality of types (in this embodiment, 101 types) of special symbols. Yes. The plurality of types of special symbols in this embodiment are classified into a jackpot symbol that can recognize a jackpot and a missing symbol that can recognize a gap. In addition, for the big hit symbol, the big hit lottery is selected, and when the grant of the 15 round big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds constituting the big hit game is set to 15 is decided, There is a jackpot symbol that is selected when it is determined that a two-round jackpot game is granted, in which the prescribed number of rounds constituting the two is set to two. In addition, the lost symbols include a lost symbol selected when winning the small hit lottery performed when the big hit lottery is not won, and a lost symbol selected when not winning the small hit lottery. is there. In the following description, out of the missing symbols, the missing symbol selected when winning the small hit game may be indicated as “small hit symbol”. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the number display from [1] to [9] is displayed as a decorative pattern for each column on the effect display device H2.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the display area (image display surface) of the effect display device H2 is formed larger than the display regions of the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b. The display device H2 is arranged prominently in front of the player. For this reason, the player pays attention to the display contents of the effect display device H2 in which the display effect is performed by various images in front of his eyes than the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b. A big hit or loss is recognized from a symbol combination derived and stopped in the symbol variation game of the effect display device H2.

  In the present embodiment, a decoration that causes the effect display device H2 to stop and display a combination of symbols in which all rows (three in this embodiment) of decorative symbols are formed of the same type of decorative symbols is determined by internal lottery. It is a jackpot symbol combination by symbol (decoration symbol jackpot symbol). And in this embodiment, the symbol combination (big hit symbol) by the same even number symbol becomes a combination which can recognize non-probability variation 15 round big hit game (non-probability variation big hit). On the other hand, in this embodiment, the symbol combination (big hit symbol) by the same odd number symbols becomes a combination that can recognize the probability variation 15 round big hit game (probability variation big hit). In addition, when it is decided to give a probable two-round big hit game or a small hit game in the internal lottery, for example, a combination of decorative symbols with odd number symbols such as [135] and [579] is fixedly stopped and displayed. .

  On the other hand, when a combination of symbols formed without making the decorative symbols of all the rows the same type is used, a combination of symbols that are out of place by a decorative symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the effect display device H2 when the deviation is determined in the internal lottery. ). If the decorative patterns in all rows are not the same type, the case where all the decorative symbols in all rows are different, or the case where the decorative symbols in multiple columns (two rows) are the same type and the types of decorative symbols in one row are different is included. It is. For example, the symbol combinations of the decorative symbols are [123], [115], [767], and the like.

  The effect display device H2 displays symbol combinations according to the display results of the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b. More specifically, the symbol combination by the special symbol of the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol of the effect display device H2 correspond to each other. The symbol combination by the decorative symbol corresponding to the symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state.

The first reserved memory number is stored inside the machine (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35). The first reserved memory number indicates the number of symbol variable games that are on hold (waiting for symbol variable games). The first reserved memory number is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning opening (upper start winning opening 26), and is subtracted by 1 at the start of the symbol variation game. Therefore, when a game ball enters the start winning opening (upper start winning opening 26) during the symbol variation game, the first reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). It has become so.

  The first special symbol hold storage display device 24a includes four hold lamps including a first hold lamp, a second hold lamp, a third hold lamp, and a fourth hold lamp. The first special symbol on-hold storage display device 24a is configured to notify the player of the number of symbol variable games on hold based on the number of lighting of the on-hold lamp. For example, if only the first hold lamp is lit, it indicates that one symbol variation game is being held, and if all of the first to fourth hold lamps are lit, it is 4 times. It shows that the symbol variation game is on hold. When the first reserved memory number is “0 (zero)”, all of the first to fourth reserved lamps are turned off.

  Further, below the display frame 23, on the right side of the second special symbol display device H1b in FIG. 1, there is a reserved memory number for special symbols stored in the machine (hereinafter referred to as “second reserved memory number”). The second special symbol hold storage display device 24b is arranged to notify the player. The pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment stores the number of game balls entered when a game ball enters a start winning opening (lower start winning opening 27) disposed below the display frame 23. The second reserved storage number is stored inside the machine (main control RAM 35c of the main control board 35). The second reserved memory number indicates the number of symbol variable games that are on hold (waiting for symbol variable games). The second reserved memory number is incremented by 1 when a game ball enters the start winning opening (lower start winning opening 27), and is subtracted by 1 at the start of the symbol variation game. Therefore, when a game ball enters the starting winning opening (lower starting winning opening 27) during the symbol variation game, the second reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (four in this embodiment). It has become so.

An out port 32 is formed for discharging to the outside of the machine. The game ball that has passed through the out port 32 is discharged to an out ball tank (not shown) disposed in the installation facility (game island) of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability variation function is a function for providing a probability variation state (a high probability state of the jackpot lottery) in which the lottery probability (winning probability) of the jackpot varies from a normal probability having a low probability to a high probability after the jackpot game ends. The probability change state is given until a predetermined number of times (10,000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before reaching the number of times. That is, the probability variation state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, the probability variation state is set to 10000 times as a predetermined number of times, and thus is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. If a probable change state is given, the probability of winning a lottery fluctuates with a high probability, and it is easy for a big win to occur. It is carried out.

  In the present embodiment, a jackpot that gives a probability change state after the big hit game is a probability change big hit, and a jackpot state that is not given after the big hit game is finished (provides a low probability state of the big hit lottery) is a non-probability big hit. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, among 96 types of special symbol jackpot symbols, 60 types of special symbols are set as special symbols (specific symbols) that are probable big hits, and 36 types of special symbols are provided. It is set to a special symbol (non-specific symbol) that becomes a non-probable big hit.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter, referred to as “variable reduction”). The variable function shortens the variation time of the normal symbol variation game, and also increases the probability of the normal symbol variation game based on the passage of the normal symbol operation gate 31 from the normal probability that the probability of winning (per winning probability) is low. This is a function that gives a variable state that fluctuates as a privilege. Also, the open / close blades 28 of the lower start winning opening 27 are opened and closed with different operation patterns when winning in the normal symbol variation game depending on whether the variable state is given or not. It is like that. That is, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is not given, the opening / closing blade 28 opens for the first number of times (for example, once), and then opens for the first opening time (for example, 0). .3 (seconds)) is maintained open. On the other hand, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the variable state is given, the number of times the opening and closing blades 28 are opened increases (for example, three times) to a second number greater than the first number, The opening state is maintained until a second opening time (for example, 1.4 (seconds)) longer than the first opening time elapses after the opening in one opening. In other words, the opening / closing blade 28 is set to operate more advantageously for the player when the variable state is applied, compared to the state where the variable state is not applied. The variable state is given until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of games is reached. That is, the variable state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. It should be noted that the number of times that the short / short state is given varies depending on the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot.

Hereinafter, the jackpot game (15 round jackpot game and two round jackpot game) and the jackpot game specified in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described in detail.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 4, one big hit is determined from the three types of big hits, and the big hit game based on the determined big hit is given. It has come to be. Which of the three types of jackpots is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, 96 types of special symbol jackpot symbols are classified into three types: symbol A, symbol B, and symbol C, as shown in FIG. Symbol A has 31 types of jackpot symbols, symbol B has 36 types of jackpot symbols, and symbol C has 29 types of jackpot symbols. In addition, in the symbol D shown in FIG. 4, five types of special symbols (outlier symbols) corresponding to the small hits are distributed.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol A is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a certain probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol A is referred to as “probability 15 round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the probabilistic 15 round big hit game, the grand prize winning opening 30 is set to be opened “once” in each round game. Further, in the probability variation 15 round jackpot game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is finished and the variation state is given until the end of the probability variation state.

  The jackpot game based on the design B is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability variation state is not given after the jackpot game is over (non-probability variation state is imparted). Hereinafter, the jackpot based on the symbol B is referred to as “non-probable 15 round jackpot game”. In addition, in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the non-probabilistic 15 round big hit game, it is set to open the grand prize winning opening 30 “once” in each round game. In addition, in the non-probabilistic 15 round jackpot game, 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 set to the upper limit number without giving the probable state after the big hit game ends. It is designed to give a variable state.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol C is a two-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “2” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol C is referred to as “probability two-round jackpot game”. In the probabilistic 2-round jackpot game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the two round games in the probabilistic two-round big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening 30 is opened “once” in each round game. Also, in the probabilistic 2 round jackpot game, depending on the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probabilistic state is given after the jackpot game and the variable state is given until the end of the probable state, and the probable state after the jackpot game ends. There is a case to give only. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the gaming state is one of “low probability state and change”, “high probability state and no change” and “high probability state and no change”. In some cases, when a winning game of two odd rounds is won, a winning change state and a changing state are given until the end of the winning change state after the winning game. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the game state is “low probability state and no change”, when the winning game is a two-round big hit game, only the positive change state is given after the big hit game ends.

  In the small hit game based on the symbol D, the specified number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number of balls (count) for one round game is set to “9”. Further, in the single round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening 30 is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit lottery, if the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a probable change state, the gaming state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be a probabilistic state, and the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is changed. If there is a state, the game state after the small hit game is continued to the state with the change. In addition, in the small win game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is in an uncertain change state, the game state after the end of the small hit game is continued to be in an uncertain change state, and the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is If there is no change, the game state after the small hit game is continued to the state without change.

  In each of these big hit games and small hit games, an opening time, a round game time and an ending time of one round game are set. In this embodiment, the round game time of the probability variation 2 round jackpot game is such that, in one round game, the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 30 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. Set to time. In addition, the round game time of the small hit game is set to a time such that the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 30 does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered in one round game. In the present embodiment, the time from the stop of the fluctuation of the symbol variation game that gives the probability variation 2 round jackpot game to the start of the next symbol variation game through the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, and the symbol variation that gives the small variation game. The time from the stop of the game change to the start of the next symbol change game through the small hit game is set to the same time. Therefore, in this embodiment, the player cannot discriminate the difference between the probability variation 2-round big hit game and the small hit game based on the opening / closing operation mode and time of the big winning opening 30. That is, the player cannot discriminate whether the winning game 2 round big hit game or the small hit game has been awarded from the opening / closing operation of the big winning opening 30 or the time.

  In the present embodiment, the probability variation 15 round jackpot game (the jackpot game based on the symbol A) and the non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game (the jackpot game based on the symbol B) are won in a predetermined number of times (15 times in the present embodiment). A big hit game in which the mouth 30 is changed from the closed state to the open state. Further, in this embodiment, the probability winning 2 round jackpot game (the jackpot game based on the pattern C) closes the big prize opening 30 as compared to the probability varying 15 round jackpot game and the non-probability varying 15 round jackpot game as the jackpot game. This is a big hit game in which the number of times of change from the state to the open state (twice in the present embodiment) is small. And in the probability variation 15 round jackpot game and the probability variation 2 round jackpot game, the number of award balls (for example, 15 balls) for one ball entering the winning prize opening 30 is set to be the same, and the round game time and round The value given to the player (the profit obtained by the player (the number of winning prize balls)) varies depending on the number of times. Further, in the present embodiment, it is difficult for the small hit game to enter the game ball into the big winning opening 30 as compared to the big hit game (particularly, the probability variation 15 round big hit game and the non-probability variation 15 round big hit game). It is difficult to get a prize ball. In addition, in the small hit game, the game state after the end of the small hit game is also maintained. For example, a change in the game state that is advantageous to the player, such as a non-probability change state (low probability state) to a probability change state (high probability state). It can't happen. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the small hit game is a game that is more disadvantageous to the player than the big hit game.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
On the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a main control board 35 as a main control means for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted. The main control board 35 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 and performs arithmetic processing on control signals (control commands) as various control commands for controlling the game according to the processing results. The control signal (control command) is output. Further, on the back side of the machine, a sub-control board (general control board) 36 as an effect control means, a display control board 37 as an effect control means, a lamp control board 38 as an effect control means, and an effect control means The voice control board 39 is mounted. In the present embodiment, various controls relating to game effects are professionally controlled based on control signals output from the main control board 35 by the control boards 36 to 39. Then, the sub integrated control board 36, the display control board 37, the lamp control board 38, and the sound control board 39 become sub control boards.

  The sub integrated control board 36 comprehensively controls the display control board 37, the lamp control board 38, and the sound control board 39 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 35. The display control board 37 controls the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device H2 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36. . Further, the lamp control board 38 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub control board 36, and the light emission modes (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of various lamps (decorative lamps 16). To control. The voice control board 39 controls the voice output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 35 and the sub integrated control board 36.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the main control board 35 will be described.
On the main control board 35, a main control CPU 35a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 35b for storing a control program of the main control CPU 35a, and necessary data can be written and read. A main control RAM 35c is provided. A main control ROM 35b and a main control RAM 35c are connected to the main control CPU 35a.

  The main control CPU 35a includes a start port sensor SW1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize port 26, a start port sensor SW2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize port 27, and a normal A gate sensor SW3 that detects a game ball that has passed through the symbol operating gate 31 is connected. The main control CPU 35a includes a first special symbol display device H1a, a second special symbol display device H1b, a normal symbol display device H3, a first special symbol hold storage display device 24a, and a second special symbol hold. A storage display device 24b and a normal symbol hold storage display device 25 are connected. Then, the main control CPU 35a updates the values of various random numbers such as a special symbol hit determination random number, a big hit symbol random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number every predetermined cycle, and the updated value is updated as the main value. The value before update is rewritten by storing (setting) in the setting area of the control RAM 35c, and random number update processing (random number generation processing) is executed. In this embodiment, various random numbers such as a hit determination random number for special symbols, a random number for big hit symbols, and a random number for variation pattern distribution are common to the processing related to the first special symbol and the processing related to the second special symbol. (The same value is used).

  The special design hit determination random number is a random number used to determine whether or not to grant a big hit (big hit lottery), and if the big hit lottery is not won, whether or not to win a small hit It is a random number used in lottery (small hit determination). The jackpot symbol random number is a random number used to select (determine) a jackpot symbol of a special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used to select (determine) the variation pattern. The variation pattern is a pattern that can specify the variation time of the symbol variation game and the effect mode (the contents of the effect such as the big hit effect, the outreach reach effect, the loss effect) from the start to the end of the symbol variation game. Since the symbol variation game is executed according to the variation pattern, the variation pattern indicates a pattern that is a base of a game effect (display effect, light effect, sound effect) in the symbol variation game.

  In this embodiment, a variation pattern is selected (determined) using two types of variation pattern distribution random numbers R1 and R2 (hereinafter referred to as distribution random numbers R1 and R2). The two types of distribution random numbers R1 and R2 have different numerical value ranges (ranges in which random number values are updated in the random number update process), and have different uses in the process related to the selection of the variation pattern. In this embodiment, the distribution random numbers R1 can be set to 251 in all numbers from “0” to “250”, and a distribution table SPV (FIGS. 10 to 12) as a determination value table described later. 15 and FIG. 16) is used as a determination value table selection random number. In the present embodiment, the distribution random number R1 also functions as a random number used when selecting a distribution table SP (shown in FIGS. 13 and 14) described later. In the present embodiment, the allocation table SPV is a table used when the big hit determination is a big hit and a variation pattern is selected, and the distribution table SP is out of the big hit determination (including outlier reach) and has a fluctuation. It is a table used when selecting a pattern. Further, the distribution random number R2 can be set to 239 values from “0” to “238”, and is used for selecting a variation pattern used when selecting a variation pattern from the selected distribution table SPV. Acts as a random number. In the present embodiment, the distribution random number R2 also functions as a random number used when a variation pattern is selected from the selected distribution table SP.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a updates a timer for measuring time. The main control RAM 35c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  In addition to the control program, the main control ROM 35b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns (shown in FIGS. 3 to 7) and various determination values (such as a big hit determination value and a small hit determination value). The variation pattern is classified for each effect content including a hit effect, an outlier reach effect, and an outlier effect. The winning effect is an effect in which the symbol variation game is developed so that the big winning symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state. The outlier reach effect is an effect in which the symbol variation game is developed so as to finally stop and display the symbol after the reach effect. The outlier effect is an effect in which the symbol variation game is developed so that the final symbol is finally displayed in a fixed stop state without going through the reach effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot determination, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination for special symbols. This jackpot determination value is used in the jackpot lottery value for low probability when the gaming state is non-probability change state (low probability state) and in the jackpot lottery when the game state is probability change state (high probability state) There is a jackpot determination value for high probability, and the number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state is set larger than the number of jackpot determination values in the non-probability variation state. For example, the possible numerical values of the hit determination random numbers are set to all 200 integers from “0 (zero)” to “199”, and two values are set as low probability jackpot determination values from the values. When set, the rate at which the jackpot determination is affirmatively determined, that is, the winning probability of the jackpot at the low probability is 2/200 (1/100). On the other hand, when 20 values (10 times the large probability judgment value for low probability) are set as the high probability jackpot judgment value, the winning probability for jackpot at the high probability is 20/200 (10 minutes 1), and the probability of winning the jackpot is increased to 10 times the low probability. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the small hit lottery, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the special symbol hit determination. For example, when two values are set as the small hit determination value, the rate at which the small hit determination is positive, that is, the winning probability for the small hit determination is 2/200 (1/100). The small hit determination value and the big hit determination value are set as completely different determination values, and the set numerical values are also different. In the present embodiment, the big hit determination value and the small hit determination value are commonly used in the processing related to the first special symbol and the processing related to the second special symbol (the same value is used).

Next, the sub integrated control board 36 will be described.
On the sub-integrated control board 36, an overall control CPU 36a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 36b for storing a control program for the overall control CPU 36a, and writing and reading of necessary data are performed. An overall control RAM 36c is provided. The overall control CPU 36a is connected to the overall control ROM 36b and the overall control RAM 36c. The overall control CPU 36a updates a timer for measuring time. Various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored (set) in the overall control RAM 36c.

Next, the display control board 37, the lamp control board 38, and the sound control board 39 will be described.
Each control board 37, 38, 39 is provided with a CPU capable of executing a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a ROM storing a control program for each CPU, and a RAM capable of writing and reading necessary data. ing. An effect display device H2 (image display unit GH) is connected to the CPU of the display control board 37, and various image data (designs, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.) are stored in the ROM of the display control board 37. Image data) is stored. The decorative lamp 16 is connected to the CPU of the lamp control board 38, and various kinds of light emission data are stored in the ROM of the lamp control board 38. The speaker 17 is connected to the CPU of the sound control board 39, and various kinds of sound data are stored in the ROM of the sound control board 39.

Hereinafter, the control content executed by the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 will be described.
The main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35, when a game ball enters the upper start winning opening 26 and receives a detection signal output from the start port sensor SW1 that has detected the game ball, is stored in the main control RAM 35c. It is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (first hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 to the first hold memory number (+1) and rewrites the first hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of hold lamps corresponding to the number of the first reserved memory after the rewriting as the first reserved memory number is rewritten. For example, when the first reserved memory number after rewriting is “3”, the main control CPU 35a lights three reserved lamps constituting the first special symbol reserved memory display device 24a. Further, when the hold determination is affirmatively determined, the main control CPU 35a obtains the value of the special design hit determination random number from the main control RAM 35c, and associates the value with the first hold storage number. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the control RAM 35c. If the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the first holding memory count exceeding the upper limit number and does not acquire the value of the hit determination random number. .

  Similarly, when the game ball enters the lower start winning opening 27 and the detection signal output from the start port sensor SW2 that detects the game ball is input to the main control CPU 35a, the main control CPU 35a stores the detection signal in the main control RAM 35c. Whether or not the second reserved storage number is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) is determined. When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (second hold memory number <4), the main control CPU 35a adds 1 to the second hold memory number (+1) and rewrites the second hold memory number. Further, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of hold lamps corresponding to the second reserved memory number after the rewriting as the second reserved memory number is rewritten. For example, when the second reserved memory number after rewriting is “3”, the main control CPU 35a turns on the three reserved lamps constituting the second special symbol reserved memory display device 24b. Further, when the hold determination is affirmatively determined, the main control CPU 35a obtains the value of the random number for hit determination for the special symbol from the main control RAM 35c, and associates the value with the second reserved storage number. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the control RAM 35c. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory number = 4), the main control CPU 35a does not rewrite the second holding memory number exceeding the upper limit number and does not acquire the value of the hit determination random number. .

  The main control CPU 35a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 35c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game, and the big hit stored in the main control ROM 35b. The big hit judgment of whether or not it is a big hit is performed by comparing with the judgment value. At this time, when the second reserved memory number is 1 or more (not zero), the main control CPU 35a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in association with the second reserved memory number, and preferentially determines the big hit I do. On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is zero and the first reserved memory number is 1 or more (not zero), the main control CPU 35a receives the hit stored in association with the first reserved memory number. Read the value of the random number for determination, and determine the big hit.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for winning determination matches the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit. The main control CPU 35a that has determined the big hit determines the big hit symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the first special symbol display device H1a or the second special symbol display device H1b according to the random number for the big hit symbol. . Since the special symbol jackpot symbol is set for each jackpot type as described above, the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot game) to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol. . And, since the special symbols are classified into special symbols for probability variable big hits and special symbols for non-probable big hits, by determining the big hit symbol of special symbols, either the probability variable big hit or the non-probable big hit (Whether or not to give a probable change state or a short state after the big hit game ends) is determined.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the big hit acquires the random value for distribution pattern distribution (in this embodiment, the values of distribution random numbers R1 and R2) from the main control RAM 35c, and the acquired random number value. Based on the above, one variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns that can be selected at the time of winning the jackpot and determined. When selecting the variation pattern, the main control CPU 35a determines the type of jackpot symbol of the determined special symbol and the gaming state when winning the jackpot, and selects the variation pattern based on the determination result. More specifically, the main control CPU 35a uses a special symbol (symbol A) for specifying a probability 15 round jackpot game as the type of jackpot symbol, or a special symbol (symbol B) for specifying a non-probability 15 round jackpot game. ) Or a special symbol (symbol C) that identifies a probabilistic 2-round jackpot game. Further, the main control CPU 35a determines whether the gaming state is a probability variation state (high probability state) or a non-probability variation state (low probability state) and is a state with variation, or Determine whether there is no change.

  Further, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the special hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the value of the special symbol hit determination random number and the main control. The small hit determination value stored in the ROM 35b is compared, and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to give a small hit game. When the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for special determination hit determination and the small hit determination value match), the main control CPU 35a determines the small hit. The main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hit determines the small hit symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game performed by the first special symbol display device H1a or the second special symbol display device H1b.

  In addition, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the small hits acquires the random values for fluctuation pattern distribution (in this embodiment, the values of the random numbers for distribution R1 and R2) from the main control RAM 35c, and the acquired values. Based on the above, one variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns that can be selected at the time of winning the small hit and determined. When selecting the variation pattern, the main control CPU 35a determines the gaming state when winning the small hit, and selects the variation pattern based on the determination result. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a determines whether the gaming state is a probability variation state (high probability state) or a non-probability variation state (low probability state), and in a state with variation. It is determined whether or not there is no change.

  In the present embodiment, the same variation pattern is set as the variation pattern that can be selected at the time of winning the probability variation 2-round jackpot game and the winning of the small hit game. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, which game is given is distinguished from the variation contents of the symbol variation game that is performed when the probability variation 2 round big hit game is won and when the small hit game is won. It is not getting.

  Further, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative (the value of the random number for hit determination and the small hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 35a determines the deviation. Then, the main control CPU 35a which has determined the detachment determines whether or not to execute the detachment effect by random number lottery (a random number for reach determination and a reach determination value). When the execution of the outlier reach effect is decided, the main control CPU 35a decides the off symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device H1a or the second special symbol display device H1b. Further, the main control CPU 35a obtains the fluctuation pattern distribution random number values (the distribution random number values R1 and R2 in this embodiment) from the main control RAM 35c, and deviates from the obtained random number values. One variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns for reach production. When selecting the variation pattern, the main control CPU 35a determines the gaming state when the execution of the outlier reach effect is determined, and selects the variation pattern based on the determination result. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a determines whether the gaming state is a probability variation state (high probability state) or a non-probability variation state (low probability state), and in a state with variation. It is determined whether or not there is no change.

  In addition, when the non-execution of the outlier reach effect is determined, the main control CPU 35a determines the out symbol in the same manner as described above. Further, the main control CPU 35a obtains the fluctuation pattern distribution random number values (the distribution random number values R1 and R2 in this embodiment) from the main control RAM 35c, and deviates from the obtained random number values. One variation pattern is selected from the variation patterns for production. When selecting the variation pattern, the main control CPU 35a determines the gaming state when the execution of the off-stage effect is determined, and selects the variation pattern based on the determination result. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a determines whether the gaming state is a probability variation state (high probability state) or a non-probability variation state (low probability state), and in a state with variation. It is determined whether or not there is no change.

  The main control CPU 35a having determined the special symbol and the variation pattern generates a predetermined control command, and outputs the generated control command to the sub overall control board 36 (overall control CPU 36a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 35a that has determined the variation pattern generates a variation pattern designation command that instructs the variation pattern and the start of the symbol variation game, and uses the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol variation game. First output. The main control CPU 35a that has determined the special symbol generates a special symbol designation command for designating the special symbol, and outputs the special symbol designation command next after the output of the variation pattern designation command. Then, the main control CPU 35a generates 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. It is output as the fluctuation time elapses.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number for the special symbol at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number for the special symbol. At this time, the main control CPU 35a rewrites the first reserved memory number when starting the symbol variation game using the first special symbol, while starting the symbol variation game using the second special symbol. Rewrites the second reserved memory number. Then, the main control CPU 35a turns on the number of reserved lamps corresponding to the number of reserved memories after the rewriting as the number of reserved memories for special symbols is rewritten. The main control CPU 35a controls the display content of the first special symbol display device H1a or the second special symbol display device H1b with the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 35a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and confirms and stops the special symbol (big hit symbol or missing symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. Display.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a that selects one variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns according to the control program functions as a selection unit. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a that executes the jackpot determination according to the control program functions as a jackpot determination means for determining whether or not to grant a jackpot that is advantageous to the player. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 35a for determining the special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device H1a and the second special symbol display device H1b according to the control program includes the special symbol determining means (symbol determining means). ).

Next, the contents of control executed by the overall control CPU 36a of the sub overall control board 36 will be described.
When the central control CPU 36a of the sub general control board 36 receives the change pattern designation command, it outputs the command to the display control board 37, the lamp control board 38, and the sound control board 39. In addition, when the special designating command is input, the overall control CPU 36a determines a decorative design constituting the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device H2 in accordance with the stop designating of the special design corresponding to the command. Further, when the overall control CPU 36a receives all symbol stop commands, the overall control CPU 36a outputs the commands to the display control board 37, the lamp control board 38, and the sound control board 39.

  In determining the decorative symbol, the overall control CPU 36a is executed by the effect display device H2 from the type of the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the type of the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command. A symbol of each column constituting a symbol combination of decorative symbols derived in the symbol variation game is determined. Specifically, the overall control CPU 36a, when a variation pattern for winning effect is instructed and the stop symbol designation of the special symbol is a big hit symbol, the decorative symbol constituting the symbol combination that is finally displayed in a definite stop state. The jackpot symbol is determined as follows. Further, the overall control CPU 36a determines the off symbol as the decorative symbol composing the symbol combination to be finally confirmed and stopped when the variation pattern for the off effect is instructed and the stop symbol designation of the special symbol is the off symbol. To do. At this time, the overall control CPU 36a determines that the decorative symbols are not included in the left and right symbols without including the reach symbols in which the symbols in the left and right columns are the same symbol. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, and the stop symbol designation of the special symbol is the off symbol, the overall control CPU 36a uses the off symbol as the decorative symbol constituting the symbol combination to be finally stopped. decide. At this time, the overall control CPU 36a determines that the symbols in the left and right columns are included in the same symbol as the decorative symbols. Then, the overall control CPU 36 a that has determined the decorative symbol outputs a stop symbol designation command for the decorative symbol designating the decorative symbol to the display control board 37.

Next, the control contents executed by each CPU of the display control board 37, the lamp control board 38, and the sound control board 39 will be described.
When the CPU of the display control board 37 inputs a variation pattern designation command, the CPU controls the display content of the image display unit GH so that the symbol variation game is played with the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command. At this time, the CPU of the display control board 37 generates display data for displaying an image in accordance with the effect content using the image data stored in the ROM based on the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern. To do. Then, the CPU of the display control board 37 measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the image display unit GH based on the measured time and display data. Switch every predetermined control cycle. Then, when the CPU of the display control board 37 inputs an all symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the image display is performed so that the symbol designated by the stop symbol designation command for the decorative symbol is displayed on the image display unit GH in a fixed stop display. The display content of the part GH is controlled to end the symbol variation game.

  When the CPU of the lamp control board 38 inputs a variation pattern designation command, various lamps (decorative lamps) are provided so that a light emission effect corresponding to the symbol variation game performed with the effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command is performed. The light emission mode of 16) is controlled. At this time, the CPU of the lamp control board 38 measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and various lamps based on the measured time and the light emission data stored in the ROM. The light emission mode is switched every predetermined control cycle. Then, when the CPU of the lamp control board 38 inputs an all symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the lamp lighting effect corresponding to the game is terminated with the termination of the symbol variation game.

  When the CPU of the voice control board 39 inputs a fluctuation pattern designation command, the voice output of the speaker 17 is performed so that a voice presentation corresponding to the symbol fluctuation game performed with the presentation contents corresponding to the fluctuation pattern instructed by the command is performed. Control aspects. At this time, the CPU of the sound control board 39 measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and the speaker 17 based on the time and the sound data stored in the ROM. Are switched at predetermined control cycles. Then, when the CPU of the voice control board 39 inputs an all symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the voice effect of the speaker 17 corresponding to the game is terminated along with the termination of the symbol variation game.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, a specific configuration and processing contents related to determination of a variation pattern by the main control CPU 35a of the main control board 35 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, 178 types of variation patterns from variation patterns P1 to P178 are prepared. 3 to 7, some variation patterns are omitted. Each variation pattern P1 to P178 is associated with a variation time and an effect mode (an operation of a decorative pattern displayed on the effect display device H2). These fluctuation patterns P1 to P178 are classified into a fluctuation pattern that can be selected at the time of hitting (big hit and small hit) and a fluctuation pattern that can be selected at the time of deviation (including loss reach). Specifically, a variation pattern (for example, variation patterns P13, P17, P18, etc.) marked with “O” in the appropriate / incorrect column shown in the tables of FIGS. Thus, the fluctuation patterns (for example, fluctuation patterns P1, P11, etc.) marked with “x” in the success / failure column are the fluctuation patterns that can be selected at the time of deviation. In addition, the reach type column shown in the tables of FIGS. 3 to 7 shows the type of reach for the variation pattern in which the reach effect is performed as the effect mode. The variation pattern with “NR” in the reach type column is a variation pattern for performing normal reach. The normal reach is performed in such a manner that after the reach is formed, the final symbol stop train is changed for a predetermined time. The variation pattern with “SR” in the reach type column is a variation pattern for performing super reach. Super reach is an effect that is achieved by developing reach production via normal reach after reach formation. Done in a manner. Normally, in a pachinko machine, the super-reach big hit reliability is set higher than the normal reach big hit reliability, and if the big hit lottery is won, the selection rate of the fluctuation pattern for executing the super reach is increased. ing.

  Each variation pattern P1 to P178 is associated with a variation pattern designation command for instructing these variation patterns. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation pattern that can be selected in the symbol variation game using the first special symbol and the variation pattern that can be selected in the symbol variation game using the second special symbol are shared. Yes. For this reason, each variation pattern P1 to P178 includes a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern when selected in the symbol variation game using the first special symbol, and a symbol variation game using the second special symbol. Are associated with a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern. Each variation pattern designation command is composed of 2-byte control data consisting of an upper byte (first byte) and a lower byte (second byte). The variation pattern designation commands of the variation patterns P1 to P178 when selected in the symbol variation game using the first special symbol are composed of “80H00H” to “81H37H”. On the other hand, the variation pattern designation commands of the variation patterns P1 to P178 when selected in the symbol variation game using the second special symbol are composed of “82H00H” to “83H37H”.

  Each variation pattern P1 to P178 includes a predetermined number of values of the random number for distribution R1 (251 from 0 to 250) and the value of the random number for distribution R2 (239 from 0 to 238). It is distributed. The value of the random number for distribution R1 is as follows: design A (probability variation 15 round jackpot game), design B (non-probability variation 15 round jackpot game), design C (probability variation 2 round jackpot game), design D (small hit), outreach reach, In addition, each variation category is allocated in block units (group units) of a predetermined variation pattern. 3 to 7, “Bu 1” indicates “Block 1” that is a group of fluctuation patterns, and “Bu 2” indicates “Block 2” that is a group of fluctuation patterns. The grouping of “block 1”, “block 2”,... Is performed, for example, according to the type of notice effect to be executed in the symbol variation game performed according to the selected variation pattern. The notice effect is an effect that suggests the possibility of a big hit in the game in one symbol variation game (that is, the expectation degree of the big hit). When the notice effect appears in the symbol variation game when the big win is determined by the internal lottery, the notice is realized in the game and becomes a big hit. On the other hand, when the notice effect appears in the symbol variation game when the deviation is determined in the internal lottery, the notice is not realized in the game but is displaced. In addition, as the notice effect, for example, a slide notice that causes a predetermined symbol fluctuation sequence to fluctuate, a character notice that makes a character appear, and a one-time from the start of symbol change to the stop of symbol change in one symbol change game. For example, there is a continuous notice effect (pseudo continuous notice) that allows the fluctuating cycle to be executed a plurality of times. And when fluctuating patterns are grouped, it is preferable to group for each type of notice effect, including a group of change patterns that do not execute the notice effect. The reason for this is that it is possible to easily adjust the selection rate (and consequently the expected degree of jackpot) for each type of notice effect.

  In the present embodiment, the numerical values that the distribution random number R1 can take are set to 251 integers from “0” to “250”. For this reason, in FIG. 3 to FIG. 7, when the special symbols are grouped for each type, and the number of distribution random numbers R1 distributed to these groups is added, the number is 251. For example, in FIG. 4, the value of “114” distribution random numbers R1 is assigned to “Block 1” and the value of “24” distribution random numbers R1 is assigned to “Block 2”. Therefore, when the number of distribution random numbers R1 distributed to all the blocks corresponding to the pattern A is added, it becomes “251”.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the value of the random number for distribution R <b> 2 is distributed by a predetermined number of change patterns that can be selected in a predetermined block unit. For example, in “block 1” defined as symbol A in FIG. 4, the value of the random number for distribution R2 is assigned to “1” for the variation patterns P13, P17, and P18 and “41” for the variation pattern P20. It has been. For this reason, in FIG. 3 to FIG. 7, when the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation patterns selectable in each block is added, the result is “239”. A variation pattern in which the value of the distribution random number R2 is not distributed in each block is a variation pattern that is not selected when the block is selected.

  FIG. 3 shows a variation pattern that can be selected when the main control CPU 35a in this embodiment determines a deviation when in the “low probability state and a state without variation”. 4 and 5 show variation patterns that can be selected when the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit, the small hit or the loss reach when the main control CPU 35a is in the "low probability state and no change state" in this embodiment. It is a thing. FIG. 6 shows a variation pattern that can be selected when the main control CPU 35a determines a jackpot consisting of the symbol A when the main control CPU 35a is in the “low probability state and no change state”, and the “low probability state, The variation pattern that can be selected when the big hit consisting of the symbol A is determined when the state is “with and without variation” is shown. FIG. 7 shows a change pattern that can be selected when the main control CPU 35a determines a big hit consisting of the symbol A when the main control CPU 35a is in the “low probability state and state with variation”, and the “high probability state and It shows the variation pattern that can be selected when the big hit consisting of the pattern A is determined in the “state with variation”.

  In the variation pattern distribution shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the variation pattern that can be selected at the time of big hit consisting of symbol A and big hit consisting of symbol B in the same gaming state (“low probability state and no change” state). Most of them have the same variation pattern. However, the number of distribution random numbers R2 for the same selectable variation pattern is different. On the other hand, some of the variation patterns P13, P26, P47, and P71 are variation patterns that can be selected only at the time of the big hit consisting of the symbol A. In the present embodiment, these variation patterns P13, P26, P47, and P71 are specific variation patterns. Further, in the variation pattern distribution shown in FIG. 5, in the same gaming state (“low probability state and no variation” state), variation patterns that can be selected at the time of big hit consisting of symbol C and small hit consisting of symbol D Are all the same variation pattern, and the distribution numbers of the random numbers for distribution R2 for these variation patterns are different.

  Further, in the distribution of the variation pattern shown in FIG. 6, the game is a big hit consisting of the same big hit symbol (symbol A), and different gaming states (“low probability state and no change state” and “low probability state, and In the state “with variation”), all the selectable variation patterns are the same variation pattern, and the distribution numbers of the sorting random numbers R2 for these variation patterns are different. Further, in the distribution of the variation pattern shown in FIG. 7, it is a big hit consisting of the same big hit symbol (symbol A), and different gaming states (“low probability state and variable state” and “high probability state, and In the state “with variation”), all the selectable variation patterns are the same variation pattern, and the distribution numbers of the sorting random numbers R2 for these variation patterns are different.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, only the data value for specifying the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern identified from the distribution table SPV is stored, and used to identify the data value (FIG. 8C). A distribution table SPP as a variation pattern specifying table shown in FIG. 5 is constructed and stored in the main control ROM 35b as the first storage means. One sorting table SPP is constructed for one sorting table SPV or one for a plurality of sorting tables SPV, and a plurality of sorting tables SPP are stored in the main control ROM 35b. . That is, in the present embodiment, the distribution table SPP can extract data values for specifying a variation pattern from a single distribution table SPP for the same variation pattern identified from a plurality of distribution tables SPV. Sharing is planned. For this reason, since the distribution table SPP is made common in the main control ROM 35b, a smaller number of distribution tables SPP than the distribution table SPV are stored.

  FIG. 10F shows an allocation table constructed by blocks corresponding to the outlier reach in the “low probability state and no change state” shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in the allocation table T2 of the present embodiment. T2 is shown.

  The distribution data DA stored in the distribution table T2 shown in FIG. 10 (f) is associated with the value of the distribution random number R1 distributed for each block. That is, “171” as the distribution data DA having the first comparison order is the value of “171” distribution random numbers R1 distributed to “block 1” (0) as shown in FIGS. ~ 170). Further, “192” as the distribution data DA having the second comparison order is the value (171) of the “21” distribution random numbers R1 distributed to “Block 2” as shown in FIGS. -191). The distribution data DA is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R1 distributed to each block. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 10F, the first distribution data DA in the comparison order is “171” corresponding to the number “171” of the random numbers for distribution R1, and the second comparison order is in the comparison order. The minute data DA is “192” by adding “171” to the number “21” of the random number for distribution R1.

  Further, in the distribution table T2 shown in FIG. 10 (f), the address of the distribution table SP is stored in association with each distribution data DA. More specifically, “171” as the distribution data DA is stored in association with the address of the distribution table SP3, and “192” as the distribution data DA is the address of the distribution table SP4. Are stored in association with each other. FIG. 10 (f) shows “171” and “192” as the first and second distribution data DA in the comparison order, and the distribution table SP associated with these distribution data DA. The addresses are illustrated, and the distribution data DA and the addresses of the distribution table SP corresponding to other blocks are omitted.

  FIG. 10 (g) shows a distribution constructed by blocks corresponding to the symbol A as the big hit symbol in the “low probability state and state with variation” shown in FIG. 6 in the distribution table T1 of the present embodiment. Table T1 is shown.

  The distribution data DA stored in the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10 (g) is associated with the value of the distribution random number R1 distributed for each block. That is, “121” as the distribution data DA having the first comparison order is the value (0 to 120) of “121” distribution random numbers R1 distributed to “Block 1” as shown in FIG. Indicates. Further, “170” as the distribution data DA with the second comparison order is “49” distribution random number R1 values (121 to 169) distributed to “Block 2” as shown in FIG. Indicates. The distribution data DA is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R1 distributed to each block. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 10G, the first distribution data DA in the comparison order is “121” corresponding to the number “121” of the random numbers for distribution R1, and the second comparison order is in the comparison order. The minute data DA is “170” by adding “121” to the number “49” of the random number for distribution R1.

  In addition, in the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10G, the address of the distribution table SPV is stored in association with each distribution data DA. Specifically, “121” as the distribution data DA stores the address of the distribution table SPV9 in association with it, and “170” as the distribution data DA stores the address of the distribution table SPV10. Are stored in association with each other. FIG. 10G shows “121” and “170” as the first and second distribution data DA in the comparison order, and the distribution table SPV associated with these distribution data DA. The addresses are illustrated, and the distribution data DA and the addresses of the distribution table SPV corresponding to the other blocks are omitted.

  FIG. 10 (h) shows a distribution constructed with blocks corresponding to the symbol A as the big hit symbol in the “high probability state and state with variation” shown in FIG. 7 in the distribution table T1 of the present embodiment. Table T1 is shown.

  The distribution data DA stored in the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10 (h) is associated with the value of the distribution random number R1 distributed for each block. That is, “183” as the distribution data DA with the first comparison order is the value of “183” distribution random numbers R1 (0 to 182) distributed to “Block 1” as shown in FIG. Indicates. The distribution data DA is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R1 distributed to each block.

  Further, in the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10 (h), the address of the distribution table SPV is stored in association with each distribution data DA. More specifically, “183” as the distribution data DA stores the address of the distribution table SPV11 in association with it. FIG. 10H illustrates “183” as the first distribution data DA in the comparison order, and the address of the distribution table SPV associated with the distribution data DA. The addresses of the distribution data DA and the distribution table SPV corresponding to are omitted.

  FIG. 11A shows a distribution table SPV1 associated with “114” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10A among the distribution tables SPV of the present embodiment. Moreover, FIG.11 (b) shows distribution table SPV3 matched with "113" as distribution data DA of distribution table T1 shown in FIG.10 (b) among distribution table SPV of this embodiment. Show. Further, FIG. 11C is shared so as to be read from the distribution table SPV1 (FIG. 11A) and the distribution table SPV3 (FIG. 11B) in the distribution table SPP of the present embodiment. The assigned distribution table SPP1 is shown.

  In the distribution table SPV1 shown in FIG. 11A, “address of distribution table SPP1” is stored as a read address of the distribution table SPP (first row). In the distribution table SPV1, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV1 is stored in accordance with the comparison order in which the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution data DB with the value of the distribution random number R2. (2nd line ~). Note that the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV1 are 38 types of variation patterns in which the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed as shown in FIGS. Then, the main control CPU 35a that selects the variation pattern using the distribution table SPV1 determines the value of the distribution random number R2 in the order from the smaller variation pattern number shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. Compare the distribution data DBs. That is, the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution data DB corresponding to these fluctuation patterns with the value of the random number for distribution R2 in the order of the fluctuation patterns P13 → P17 → P18 → P20 →... → P70 → P71. To do.

  For this reason, the distribution table SPV1 stores the distribution data DB corresponding to each variation pattern according to the comparison order described above. Specifically, in the distribution table SPV1, “1” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is “1” distributed to the variation pattern P13 as shown in FIGS. The value (0) of the random number R2 for distribution is shown. In the distribution table SPV1, “2” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is “1” distribution random number distributed to the variation pattern P17 as shown in FIGS. The value (1) of R2 is shown. The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 11A, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order is “1” corresponding to the number “1” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order is the second. The minute data DB adds “1” to the number “1” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “2”.

  Further, in the distribution table SPV3 shown in FIG. 11B, “address of distribution table SPP1” is stored as the read address of the distribution table SPP (first row). As a result, the distribution table SPV1 and the distribution table SPV3 each store the same specific value as the specific value for specifying the “address of the distribution table SPP1”, that is, the variation pattern specifying table. Will be.

  In the distribution table SPV3, as in the distribution table SPV1, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern selectable from the distribution table SPV3 is compared with the value of the distribution random number R2 by the main control CPU 35a. Are stored in accordance with the comparison order (from the second line). Note that the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV3 are 34 types of variation patterns in which the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed as shown in FIGS. Then, the main control CPU 35a that selects the variation pattern using the distribution table SPV3 determines the value of the distribution random number R2 in the order from the smaller variation pattern number shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. Compare the distribution data DBs. That is, the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution data DB corresponding to these variation patterns with the distribution random number R2 in the order of the variation patterns P17 → P18 → P20 →... → P69 → P70.

  By the way, the types of variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV3 are 34 types, and the types are distribution tables that extract data values (pattern data DC) for specifying variation patterns from the same distribution table SPP1. There are fewer types of variation patterns (38 types) that can be selected from SPV1. In the distribution table SPP1 shown in FIG. 11C, the main control CPU 35a has the distribution data in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the distribution random number R2. Pattern data DC corresponding to DB is stored. Specifically, in the distribution table SPP1 of the present embodiment, the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB is in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB stored in the distribution table SPV1. Stored. For example, “0CH” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SPP1 is the fluctuation pattern P13, “10H” as the pattern data DC is the fluctuation pattern P17, and “11H” as the pattern data DC is the fluctuation pattern. P18 is shown respectively. Thus, when the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern using the distribution table SPV1, the comparison order of the distribution data DB identified by comparing the distribution data DB and the distribution random number R2 A variation pattern to be selected can be selected by extracting pattern data DC stored in the same order.

  On the other hand, the sort table SPV3 has fewer types of change patterns that can be selected than the sort table SPV1 as described above. For this reason, when the distribution table SPV3 is constructed with only the distribution data DB corresponding to the selectable variation pattern, the main control CPU 35a selects from the distribution table SPP1 when selecting the variation pattern using the distribution table SPV3. The correct pattern data DC cannot be extracted. Specifically, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern P17 in the distribution table SPV1 is stored with the second comparison order because the variation pattern P13 is defined as a selectable variation pattern. Therefore, when the comparison order of the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern P17 is stored as the first in the distribution table SPV3 in which the variation pattern P13 is not a selectable variation pattern, the correct pattern data DC is obtained from the distribution table SPP1. It becomes impossible to extract. That is, the pattern data DC to be extracted from the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern P17 is “10H”, but the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern P17 is distributed so that the comparison order is first. When stored in the table SPV3, the pattern data DC extracted from the distribution table SPP1 is “0CH”.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the distribution table SPP is shared by a plurality of distribution tables SPV having different types of variation patterns that can be selected, the same variation pattern that can be selected from each distribution table SPV. The distribution data DB is stored so that the comparison order is the same. On the other hand, for a variation pattern that can be selected from one distribution table SPV but cannot be selected from the other distribution table, the other is in the same order as the comparison order of the variation patterns in one distribution table. Empty data as special judgment values is stored in this distribution table. This empty data is configured with a value that the main control CPU 35a cannot determine as a variation pattern to be selected as a comparison result even when compared with the value of the random number for distribution R2.

  The main control CPU 35a that compares the distribution data DB with the distribution random number R2 stores the distribution data DB in the distribution data DB when the distribution random number R2 is smaller than the numerical value stored as the distribution data DB. The corresponding variation pattern is determined as the variation pattern to be selected. Therefore, the empty data is configured with a numerical value that is equal to or less than the value of the distribution random number R2 when the main control CPU 35a compares the value of the empty data and the distribution random number R2.

  Based on the above description, in the distribution table SPV3 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 11B, the distribution data is selected so that the comparison order is the same for the variation patterns that can also be selected from the distribution table SPV1. DB is stored, and empty data is stored in correspondence with the comparison order of variation patterns that can be selected only from the distribution table SPV1. More specifically, in the distribution table SPV3, empty data “0 (first)” and “60 (8” in the same order as the comparison order of the variation patterns P13, P26, and P47 that can be selected only from the distribution table SPV1. Th) ”and“ 107 (21st) ”. In FIG. 11B, the empty data is shaded. Note that the comparison order of the variation pattern P71 that can be selected only from the distribution table SPV1 is the last. For this reason, in the allocation table SPV3, since the variation pattern is specified before the comparison order of the variation pattern P71 is reached, no empty data corresponding to the variation pattern P71 is stored.

  With such a configuration, when the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern using the distribution table SPV3, the distribution data DB specified by comparing the distribution data DB and the distribution random number R2 value is determined. Pattern data DC stored in the same order as the comparison order can be extracted, and a variation pattern to be selected can be selected. For example, when the main control CPU 35a has extracted “0” as the value of the distribution random number R2, the first empty data “0” stored is not smaller than the value of the distribution random number R2. Therefore, without determining the variation pattern to be selected, “1” as the second stored distribution data DB is compared with the value “0” of the random number for distribution R2. Then, since the value “0” of the random number for distribution R2 is smaller than “1” as the distribution data DB, the main control CPU 35a has the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB, that is, the fluctuation pattern P17. The pattern data DC (10H) is extracted from the distribution table SPP1.

  FIG. 12A shows a distribution table SPV5 associated with “200” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10C among the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. FIG. 12B shows a distribution table SPV7 associated with “216” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10D in the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. Show. Also, FIG. 12C is shared so that it can be read from the distribution table SPV5 (FIG. 12A) and the distribution table SPV7 (FIG. 12B) in the distribution table SPP of this embodiment. The assigned distribution table SPP2 is shown.

  In the distribution table SPV5 shown in FIG. 12A and the distribution table SPV7 shown in FIG. 12B, “address of the distribution table SPP2” is stored as the read address of the distribution table SPP (each The first row of the table). As a result, in the distribution table SPV5 and the distribution table SPV7, the same specific value is stored as the specific value for specifying the “address of the distribution table SPP2”, that is, the variation pattern specifying table. Will be.

  In the distribution table SPV5 and the distribution table SPV7, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV5 and the distribution table SPV7 is allocated by the main control CPU 35a to the distribution random number R2. Are stored in accordance with the comparison order compared with the value of (from the second row of each table). The variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV5 and the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV7 are the same variation pattern as shown in FIG. 5, and the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed. There are five types of variation patterns. For this reason, in the distribution table SPV5 and the distribution table SPV7, the distribution data DB corresponding to each variation pattern is stored so that the comparison order of the same variation pattern is the same order. Specifically, in the distribution table SPV5, “23” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is “23” distribution random numbers distributed to the variation pattern P72 as shown in FIG. The value of R2 (0-22) is shown. In the distribution table SPV5, “91” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is “68” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P73 as shown in FIG. (23-90). Similarly, the distribution table SPV5 corresponds to the distribution data DB (“136”) corresponding to the variation pattern P74, the distribution data DB (“170”) corresponding to the variation pattern P75, and the variation pattern P76. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”).

  On the other hand, in the distribution table SPV7, “45” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is the value of the “45” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P72 as shown in FIG. 0-44). In the distribution table SPV7, “124” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is the value of “79” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P73 as shown in FIG. (45-123). Similarly, the distribution table SPV7 corresponds to the distribution data DB (“184”) corresponding to the variation pattern P74, the distribution data DB (“218”) corresponding to the variation pattern P75, and the variation pattern P76. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”).

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 12A, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order becomes “23” corresponding to the number “23” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order with the second distribution data. The minute data DB adds “23” to the number “68” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “91”.

  Also, in the distribution table SPP2 shown in FIG. 12C, the distribution data SPC2 is arranged in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the distribution random number R2. Pattern data DC corresponding to DB is stored. More specifically, the distribution table SPP2 of the present embodiment corresponds to the distribution data DB so that it is in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DBs stored in the distribution table SPV5 and the distribution table SPV7. Pattern data DC to be stored is stored. For example, “47H” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SPP2 represents the variation pattern P72, “48H” as the pattern data represents the variation pattern P73, and “49H” as the pattern data represents the variation pattern P74. , Respectively.

  FIG. 13A shows an allocation table SP1 associated with “165” as the allocation data of the allocation table T2 shown in FIG. 10E among the allocation tables SP of the present embodiment. FIG. 13B shows a distribution table SP2 associated with “251” as distribution data of the distribution table T2 shown in FIG. 10E among the distribution table SP of the present embodiment.

  In the distribution table SP1 and the distribution table SP2, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SP1 and the distribution table SP2 is stored in the distribution table SP1 by the main control CPU 35a. Are stored according to the comparison order. Specifically, in the distribution table SP1, “223” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is “223” distribution random numbers distributed to the variation pattern P1 as shown in FIG. The value of R2 (0 to 222) is shown. In the distribution table SP1, “225” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is the value of “two” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P4 as shown in FIG. (223, 224). Similarly, the distribution table SP1 corresponds to the distribution data DB (“230”) corresponding to the variation pattern P7, the distribution data DB (“232”) corresponding to the variation pattern P8, and the variation pattern P9. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“236”) and the distribution data DB (“239”) corresponding to the variation pattern P10.

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 13A, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order becomes “223” corresponding to the number “223” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order with the second distribution data. The minute data DB adds “223” to the number “2” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “225”.

  In the distribution table SP1, the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB is arranged in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the random number R2 for distribution by the main control CPU 35a. Is stored. “00H” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SP1 is the variation pattern P1, “03H” as the pattern data is the variation pattern P4, “06H” as the pattern data is the variation pattern P7, respectively. Show. Further, “07H” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SP1 indicates the variation pattern P8, “08H” as the pattern data indicates the variation pattern P9, and “09H” as the pattern data indicates the variation pattern P10. , Respectively.

  In the distribution table SP2, “237” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is the value of “237” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P1, as shown in FIG. 0-236). In the distribution table SP2, “238” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is the value of “one” distribution random number R2 distributed to the variation pattern P5 as shown in FIG. (237) is shown. In the distribution table SP2, “239” as the distribution data DB having the third comparison order is the value of “one” distribution random number R2 distributed to the variation pattern P6 as shown in FIG. (238) is shown.

  In the distribution table SP2, the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB is arranged so that the main control CPU 35a has the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the distribution random number R2. Is stored. “00H” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SP2 is the fluctuation pattern P1, “04H” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P5, “05H” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P6, respectively. Show.

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 13B, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order becomes “237” corresponding to the number “237” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order with the second distribution order. The minute data DB adds “237” to the number “1” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “238”.

  FIG. 14A shows an allocation table SP3 associated with “171” as the allocation data of the allocation table T2 shown in FIG. 10F among the allocation tables SP of the present embodiment. FIG. 14B shows a distribution table SP4 associated with “192” as distribution data of the distribution table T2 shown in FIG. 10F among the distribution table SP of the present embodiment.

  In the distribution table SP3 and the distribution table SP4, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SP3 and the distribution table SP4 is stored in the distribution table SP3 by the main control CPU 35a. Are stored according to the comparison order. Specifically, in the distribution table SP3, “74” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is “74” distributions distributed to the variation pattern P11 as shown in FIGS. Indicates the value (0 to 73) of the random number for random use R2. In the distribution table SP3, “173” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is “99” distribution random numbers distributed to the variation pattern P12 as shown in FIGS. R2 values (74 to 172) are shown. Similarly, in the distribution table SP3, the distribution data DB (“182”) corresponding to the variation pattern P14, the distribution data DB (“188”) corresponding to the variation pattern P15,. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”) corresponding to P68.

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 14A, the distribution data DB having the first comparison order becomes “74” corresponding to the number “74” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order has the second distribution data. The minute data DB adds “74” to the number “99” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “173”.

  In the distribution table SP3, the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB is arranged in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the random number R2 for distribution by the main control CPU 35a. Is stored. “0AH” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SP3 is the fluctuation pattern P11, “0BH” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P12, and “0DH” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P14. Show.

  In the distribution table SP4, “68” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is “68” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P11 as shown in FIGS. The value (0-67) is shown. In the distribution table SP4, “169” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is “101” distribution random numbers distributed to the variation pattern P12 as shown in FIGS. The value of R2 (68-168) is shown. Similarly, in the distribution table SP4, the distribution data DB (“173”) corresponding to the variation pattern P22, the distribution data DB (“178”) corresponding to the variation pattern P25,. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”) corresponding to P62.

  In the distribution table SP4, the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB is arranged in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the random number R2 for distribution by the main control CPU 35a. Is stored. “0AH” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SP4 is the fluctuation pattern P11, “0BH” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P12, and “15H” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P22. Show.

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 14B, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order is “68” corresponding to the number “68” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order is the second. The minute data DB adds “68” to the number “101” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “169”.

  FIG. 15A shows a distribution table SPV2 associated with “138” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10A in the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. FIG. 15B shows a distribution table SPV10 associated with “170” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10G in the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. Show. Also, FIG. 15C is shared so that it can be read from the distribution table SPV2 (FIG. 15A) and the distribution table SPV10 (FIG. 15B) in the distribution table SPP of this embodiment. The assigned distribution table SPP3 is shown.

  In the distribution table SPV2 shown in FIG. 15A and the distribution table SPV10 shown in FIG. 15B, “the address of the distribution table SPP3” is stored as the read address of the distribution table SPP (each The first row of the table). As a result, in the distribution table SPV2 and the distribution table SPV10, the same specific value is stored as the specific value for specifying the “address of the distribution table SPP3”, that is, the variation pattern specifying table. Will be.

  In the distribution table SPV2 and the distribution table SPV10, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV2 and the distribution table SPV10 are distributed by the main control CPU 35a to the distribution random number R2. Are stored in accordance with the comparison order compared with the value of (from the second row of each table). The variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV2 and the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV10 are the same variation pattern as shown in FIG. 6, and the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed. There are 25 types of variation patterns. For this reason, the distribution data SP corresponding to each variation pattern is stored in the distribution table SPV2 and the distribution table SPV10 so that the comparison order of the same variation patterns is the same. Specifically, in the distribution table SPV2, “1” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is “1” distribution random number distributed to the variation pattern P81 as shown in FIG. The value (0) of R2 is shown. In the distribution table SPV2, “6” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is the value of “5” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P85 as shown in FIG. (1-5) are shown. Similarly, in the distribution table SPV2, the distribution data DB (“7”) corresponding to the variation pattern P86, the distribution data DB (“27”) corresponding to the variation pattern P88,. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”) corresponding to P120.

  On the other hand, in the distribution table SPV10, “1” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is the value of the “one” distribution random number R2 distributed to the variation pattern P81 as shown in FIG. 0). Further, in the distribution table SPV10, “11” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is the value of “10” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P85 as shown in FIG. (1-10) are shown. Similarly, in the distribution table SPV10, the distribution data DB (“12”) corresponding to the variation pattern P86, the distribution data DB (“17”) corresponding to the variation pattern P88,. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”) corresponding to P120.

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 15A, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order is “1” corresponding to the number “1” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order is the second. The minute data DB adds “1” to the number “5” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “6”.

  Also, in the distribution table SPP3 shown in FIG. 15C, the main control CPU 35a has the distribution data in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the random number for distribution R2. Pattern data DC corresponding to DB is stored. More specifically, the distribution table SPP3 of the present embodiment corresponds to the distribution data DB so that it is in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DBs stored in the distribution table SPV2 and the distribution table SPV10. Pattern data DC to be stored is stored. For example, “50H” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SPP3 is the variation pattern P81, “54H” as the pattern data is the variation pattern P85, and “55H” as the pattern data is the variation pattern P86. , Respectively.

  FIG. 16A shows a distribution table SPV9 associated with “121” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10G among the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. FIG. 16B shows a distribution table SPV11 associated with “183” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T1 shown in FIG. 10H in the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. Show. Also, FIG. 16C is shared so that it can be read from the distribution table SPV9 (FIG. 16A) and the distribution table SPV11 (FIG. 16B) in the distribution table SPP of this embodiment. The assigned distribution table SPP4 is shown.

  In the distribution table SPV9 shown in FIG. 16A and the distribution table SPV11 shown in FIG. 16B, “address of the distribution table SPP4” is stored as a read address of the distribution table SPP (each The first row of the table). As a result, the distribution table SPV9 and the distribution table SPV11 each store the same specific value as the specific value for specifying the “address of the distribution table SPP4”, that is, the variation pattern specifying table. Will be.

  In the distribution table SPV9 and the distribution table SPV11, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV9 and the distribution table SPV11 are distributed by the main control CPU 35a to the distribution random number R2. Are stored in accordance with the comparison order compared with the value of (from the second row of each table). The variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV9 and the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV11 are the same variation pattern as shown in FIG. 7, and the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed. There are 27 types of variation patterns. For this reason, the distribution data SP corresponding to each variation pattern is stored in the distribution table SPV9 and the distribution table SPV11 so that the comparison order of the same variation patterns is the same. Specifically, in the distribution table SPV9, “1” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is “one” distribution random number distributed to the variation pattern P13 as shown in FIG. The value (0) of R2 is shown. In the distribution table SPV9, “2” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is the value of “one” distribution random number R2 distributed to the variation pattern P34 as shown in FIG. (1) is shown. Similarly, in the distribution table SPV7, the distribution data DB (“3”) corresponding to the variation pattern P35, the distribution data DB (“8”) corresponding to the variation pattern P37,. The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”) corresponding to P78.

  On the other hand, in the distribution table SPV11, “1” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is the value of “one” distribution random number R2 distributed to the variation pattern P13 as shown in FIG. 0). In the distribution table SPV11, “5” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order is the value of “4” distribution random numbers R2 distributed to the variation pattern P34 as shown in FIG. (1-4). Similarly, in the distribution table SPV11, the distribution data DB (“6”) corresponding to the variation pattern P35, the distribution data DB (“27”) corresponding to the variation pattern P37,... The distribution data DB is stored in the order of the distribution data DB (“239”) corresponding to P78.

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 16A, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order becomes “1” corresponding to the number “1” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order has the second allocation data. The minute data DB adds “1” to the number “1” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “2”.

  Further, in the distribution table SPP4 shown in FIG. 16C, the main control CPU 35a has the distribution data in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the random number for distribution R2. Pattern data DC corresponding to DB is stored. Specifically, the distribution table SPP4 of this embodiment corresponds to the distribution data DB so that the comparison order of the distribution data DBs stored in the distribution table SPV9 and the distribution table SPV11 is the same order. Pattern data DC to be stored is stored. For example, “0CH” as the pattern data DC stored in the distribution table SPP4 is the fluctuation pattern P13, “21H” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P34, and “22H” as the pattern data is the fluctuation pattern P35. , Respectively.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the distribution table SPP is constructed so as to be shared by a plurality of distribution tables SPV. More specifically, the allocation table SPP1 is allocated to each of the different types (symbol A and symbol B) of profits obtained in the same gaming state, such as the allocation table SPV1 and the allocation table SPV3. It is shared by the minute table SPV. The distribution table SPV1 and the distribution table SPV3 are different in the number of pattern data DC that can be specified from each table. Specifically, the number of pattern data DC that can be specified from the distribution table SPV1 is set to 38, whereas the number of pattern data DC that can be specified from the distribution table SPV3 is set to 34.

  Further, the distribution table SPP2 is a distribution table SPV provided for each different type of profit (symbol C and symbol D) obtained in the same gaming state, such as the allocation table SPV5 and the allocation table SPV7. It is common. Note that the distribution table SPV5 and the distribution table SPV7 each have five pattern data DC that can be specified from the respective tables, and are set to be the same.

  In addition, the allocation table SPP3 is shared by the allocation table SPV provided for each type (symbol A) of profits obtained in different gaming states, such as the allocation table SPV2 and the allocation table SPV10. Yes. Note that the distribution table SPV2 and the distribution table SPV10 have the same number of 25 pattern data DC that can be specified from the respective tables, and are set to be the same.

  In addition, the allocation table SPP4 is shared by the allocation table SPV provided for each of the same types (symbol A) of profits obtained in different gaming states, such as the allocation table SPV9 and the allocation table SPV11. Yes. Note that the distribution table SPV9 and the distribution table SPV11 each have 27 pieces of pattern data DC that can be specified from the respective tables, and are set to be the same.

  As described above, when the distribution table SPP is shared by the plurality of distribution tables SPV, an increase in the data capacity stored in the main control ROM 35b can be suppressed. Specifically, when each distribution table SPV is constructed by associating the distribution data DB and the pattern data DC as in the distribution table SP, the pattern data DC for the same variation pattern is stored in duplicate. Therefore, the amount of data stored redundantly increases the data capacity stored in the main control ROM 35b. For example, when the distribution tables SPV2 and SPV10 shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B are constructed like the distribution table SP, 25 types of variation patterns can be selected from these distribution tables SPV2 and SPV10. For this reason, 50 bytes (25 (types) × the number of bytes of one pattern data DC (2 bytes)) are additionally stored. Further, the distribution tables SPV1 and SPV3 shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B are different from each other in the number of types of variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution tables SPV1 and SPV3. By sharing the SPP, an increase in the data capacity stored in the main control ROM 35b can be suppressed. That is, the distribution table SPV3 requires a data capacity for empty data by storing empty data, but can increase the data capacity by sharing pattern data DC in the same variation pattern. . Note that the suppression of the increase in data capacity due to the sharing of the distribution table SPP as in the present embodiment becomes more prominent as the number of variation patterns provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 increases. Therefore, if the distribution table SPP is shared as in the present embodiment, the number of fluctuation patterns can be increased while suppressing an increase in data capacity.

  Hereinafter, a variation pattern selection process in which the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In the variation pattern selection process shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the main control CPU 35a determines the big hit by the big hit determination, determines the small hit by the small hit determination, and then determines the deviation reach by the loss reach determination. This process is executed after and after determining the deviation depending on these determination results. That is, the variation pattern selection process shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is a common process.

  In the variation pattern selection process, the main control CPU 35a loads the distribution random number R1 (step S10). That is, the main control CPU 35a reads and acquires the value of the distribution random number R1 from the setting area of the main control RAM 35c. Next, the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution random number R1 acquired in step S10 with the contents of the distribution table T1 (or T2) (step S11) and adds + 0001H (1 addition) to the table address (step 1). S12). As a result of the processing in step S11, the main control CPU 35a first reads the distribution data DA stored at the head (+ 0000H) of the storage area of the distribution table T1 (or T2) in the main control ROM 35b. Compare the value of the minute data DA and the random number R1 for distribution. This comparison is performed based on whether or not the data value indicating the value of the distribution random number R1 is smaller than the upper limit of the data value of the distribution data DA (eg, “114”). The main control CPU 35a sets the C flag (carry flag) to “1” when the comparison result shows that the data value indicating the distribution random number R1 is smaller than the data value of the distribution data DA. And On the other hand, as a result of the comparison, the main control CPU 35a indicates that the data value indicating the distribution random number R1 is not smaller than the data value of the distribution data DA, that is, indicates the value of the distribution random number R1. If the data value is equal to or greater than the data value of the distribution data DA, the C flag is set to “0”. In the present embodiment, the case where the C flag is set to “1” in the process of step S11 is a case where the address data of the distribution table SPV (or SP) for selecting the variation pattern is confirmed. On the other hand, when the C flag is set to “0” in the process of step S11 in the present embodiment, the address data of the distribution table SPV (or SP) for selecting the variation pattern is not confirmed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a determines whether or not the C flag is “1” (step S13). If the determination result is negative, the main control CPU 35a executes the processes of steps S14 and S15, sequentially increments the table address by + 0001H (1 addition), and returns to step S11 after the process of step S15 is completed. Through the processing in steps S14 and S15, the main control CPU 35a determines the next distribution data DA stored in the storage area of the distribution table T1 (or T2) and the distribution random number R1 acquired in step S10. Prepare to compare with. That is, after the processing of steps S14 and S15, the table address indicates the storage area of the next distribution data DA. When the main control CPU 35a returns to the process of step S11 after the process of step S15 is completed, the process of step S11 compares the next distribution data DA with the value of the random number for distribution R1. The C flag is set to “0” or “1” according to the comparison result. The main control CPU 35a proceeds to steps S11 to S11 until the determination result in step S13 becomes affirmative, that is, until the C flag is set to “1” and the address data of the distribution table SPV (or SP) for selecting the variation pattern can be determined. The process of S15 is repeated.

  In the present embodiment, when executing the variation pattern selection process, the main control CPU 35a grasps the gaming state when the variation pattern is selected, and grasps whether it is a big hit, a small hit, a loss reach, or a loss. And the process of step S10-step S15 is performed. In the case of a big hit, the big hit symbol (symbol A, symbol B or symbol C) is grasped, and the processes of steps S10 to S15 are executed. That is, the main control CPU 35a identifies the sorting tables T1 and T2 in which the sorting data DA to be compared with the value of the sorting random number R1 is stored from the above-described grasp result, and the specified sorting table. Steps S10 to S15 are executed for T1 and T2. The main control CPU 35a performs the above-described grasp from various flags set in the main control RAM 35c.

  If the determination result in step S13 is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a proceeds to step S16. In step S16, the main control CPU 35a loads the contents of the table address after + 0001H by adding + 0001H to the table address in step S12 (step S16). In step S16, the main control CPU 35a sets the contents of the loaded table address as the address (lower order) of the sorting table SP or the address (lower order) of the sorting table SPV. In step S16, the main control CPU 35a determines an out-of-range or out-of-range reach and executes the processing in steps S10 to S15, and determines the big hit or the small hit as the address (lower order) of the distribution table SP. If the processing of steps S10 to S15 is being executed, the address (lower order) of the sorting table SPV is set.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a adds + 0001H (1 addition) to the table address (step S17), and loads the contents of the table address after the addition (step 18). In step S18, the main control CPU 35a sets the contents of the loaded table address as the address (upper order) of the sorting table SP or the address (upper order) of the sorting table SPV. In step S18, the main control CPU 35a determines an outage or out of reach reach and executes the processing of steps S10 to S15, and determines the big hit or the small hit as the address (upper order) of the distribution table SP. When the processing of steps S10 to S15 is being executed, the address (upper order) of the distribution table SPV is set. As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 9 (a), the allocation tables TPV, SP2 store the address data of the allocation tables SPV, SP after the allocation data DA. If the table address is incremented by + 0001H in steps S12 and S17, the contents of the table address after the addition are the addresses (upper and lower) of the sorting tables SPV and SP.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a sets the address (upper and lower) of the distribution table SP or the distribution table SPP read in steps S16 and S18 (step S19), and proceeds to step S20. In step S20, the main control CPU 35a sets the table configuration type. The table configuration type is a variation pattern selection process for determining whether the current symbol variation game for which a variation pattern is to be selected is a hit (big hit or small hit) or out of place (including outlier reach). It is stored in the register in the process before performing. The processes before the variation pattern selection process are a big hit determination, a small hit determination, and a loss reach determination. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 35a stores “00H” in the register as the table configuration type when the big hit or the small hit is determined, and sets the table configuration type as the table configuration type when the loss is determined. “01H” is stored in the register.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a compares “00H” with the table configuration type set in step S20 (step S21) and loads the distribution random number R2 (step S22). Next, the main control CPU 35a determines whether or not the comparison result of step S21 matches (step S23). In the case of detachment, the process proceeds to step S36.

  The main control CPU 35a, which affirmed the determination in step S23 and moves to step S24, loads the contents of the distribution table SPV address set in step S19 and sets it as the address (lower order) of the distribution table SPP. Next, the main control CPU 35a adds + 0001H (1 addition) to the distribution table SPV address (step S25). Next, the main control CPU 35a loads the contents of the distribution table SPV address, sets it as the address (upper order) of the distribution table SPP (step S26), and increments the distribution table SPV address by + 0001H (1 addition) ( Step S27). Through the processing in steps S24 to S26, the main control CPU 35a identifies the distribution table SPP from the distribution table SPV set in step S19. Further, the process of step S27 creates a state in which the distribution data DA stored at the top (+ 0000H) of the storage area of the distribution table SPV can be read.

  Then, the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution random number R2 acquired in step S22 with the contents of the distribution table SPV address (step S28). This comparison is performed based on whether or not the data value indicating the value of the random number for distribution R2 acquired is smaller than the upper limit of the data value (for example, “1”, etc.) of the distribution data DB. The main control CPU 35a sets the C flag (carry flag) to “1” when the comparison result shows that the data value indicating the value of the distribution random number R2 is smaller than the data value of the distribution data DB. And On the other hand, as a result of the comparison, the main control CPU 35a indicates that the data value indicating the distribution random number R2 is not smaller than the data value of the distribution data DA, that is, indicates the value of the distribution random number R2. If the data value is equal to or greater than the data value of the distribution data DA, the C flag is set to “0”. In the present embodiment, the case where the C flag is set to “1” in the process of step S28 is a case where the variation pattern to be selected is confirmed. On the other hand, when the C flag is set to “0” in the process of step S28 in the present embodiment, the variation pattern to be selected is not fixed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a determines whether or not the C flag is “1” (step S29). If the determination result is negative, the main control CPU 35a executes the processes of steps S30 and S31, adds both + 0001H (1 addition) to the distribution table SPV address and the distribution table SPP address, and performs the process of step S31. After the end, the process returns to step S28. By the process of step S30, the main control CPU 35a prepares to compare the next distribution data DB stored in the storage area of the distribution table SPV with the value of the distribution random number R2 acquired in step S22. Do. Further, through the process of step S31, the main control CPU 35a prepares to extract the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB to be compared next with the value of the distribution random number R2 from the distribution table SPP. Then, if the main control CPU 35a returns to the process of step S28 after the process of step S31 ends, the process of step S28 compares the next distribution data DB with the value of the random number for distribution R2. The C flag is set to “0” or “1” according to the comparison result. The main control CPU 35a repeats the processes of steps S28 to S31 until the determination result of step S29 becomes affirmative, that is, the C flag is set to “1” and the variation pattern to be selected can be determined.

  If the determination result in step S29 is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a proceeds to step S32. After shifting to step S32, the main control CPU 35a sets the distribution table SPP address in the distribution table SPP specified in steps S24 and S26, and then proceeds to step S33. The distribution table SPP address has been rewritten by the process of step S31.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 35a, which has denied step S23 and moved to step S36, compares the distribution random number R2 acquired in step S22 with the contents of the distribution table SP address. This comparison is performed based on whether or not the data value indicating the value of the random number for distribution R2 acquired is smaller than the upper limit of the data value (for example, “1”, etc.) of the distribution data DB. The main control CPU 35a sets the C flag (carry flag) to “1” when the comparison result shows that the data value indicating the value of the distribution random number R2 is smaller than the data value of the distribution data DB. And On the other hand, as a result of the comparison, the main control CPU 35a indicates that the data value indicating the distribution random number R2 is not smaller than the data value of the distribution data DA, that is, indicates the value of the distribution random number R2. If the data value is equal to or greater than the data value of the distribution data DA, the C flag is set to “0”. In the present embodiment, the case where the C flag is set to “1” in the process of step S36 is a case where the variation pattern to be selected is confirmed. On the other hand, when the C flag is set to “0” in the process of step S36 in the present embodiment, the variation pattern to be selected is not fixed.

  Next, the main control CPU 35a increments the distribution table SP address by + 0001H (1 addition) (step S37), and then determines whether or not the C flag is “1” (step S38). If the determination result is negative, the main control CPU 35a executes the process of step S39, adds + 0001H (1 addition) to the distribution table SP address, and returns to step S36 after the process of step S39 is completed. By the process of step S37, the main control CPU 35a prepares to extract the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB compared in step S36 from the distribution table SP. In addition, by the process of step S39, the main control CPU 35a prepares to compare the next distribution data DB stored in the storage area of the distribution table SP with the value of the distribution random number R2 acquired in step S22. I do. That is, after the process of step S39, the table address indicates the storage area of the next distribution data DB. Then, if the main control CPU 35a returns to the process of step S36 after the end of the process of step S39, the process of step S36 compares the next distribution data DB with the value of the random number for distribution R2. The C flag is set to “0” or “1” according to the comparison result. The main control CPU 35a repeats the processes in steps S36 to S39 until the determination result in step S38 becomes affirmative, that is, the C flag is set to “1” and the variation pattern to be selected can be determined. If the determination result in step S38 is affirmative, the main control CPU 35a proceeds to step S33.

  After shifting to step S33, the main control CPU 35a loads the contents of the distribution table SP address or the distribution table SPP address, and sets it as the pattern data DC. In step S33, in the case of the distribution table SP, the main control CPU 35a uses the data value stored in the next address (address set in step S37) of the distribution data DB for which affirmative determination is made in step S38 as pattern data. DC. On the other hand, in step S33, the main control CPU 35a, in the case of the distribution table SPP, the data value corresponding to the distribution data DB for which the determination in step S29 is affirmative (data value of the distribution table SPP address set in step S31). Are extracted from the distribution table SPP, and the data value is set as the pattern data DC. Then, the main control CPU 35a saves the pattern data DC extracted in step S33 in the variation pattern number (indicating the lower byte of the variation pattern) (step S34). Next, the main control CPU 35a determines whether the current symbol variation game is performed with the first special symbol or the second special symbol in the variation start command setting process, and the determination result In response to this, the higher byte of the fluctuation pattern is saved as the fluctuation pattern number. The main control CPU 35a recognizes whether the symbol variation game is performed with the first special symbol or the second special symbol by the flag set in the main control RAM 35c.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 35a, after the end of the variation pattern selection processing, outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern saved in the variation pattern number in steps S34 and S35 in the output processing after the next cycle. To the overall control CPU 36a.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) By sharing the distribution table SPP with respect to a plurality of distribution tables SPV, the data capacity is compared with the case where the pattern data DC is stored in association with the distribution data DB for each distribution table SPV. Can be suppressed. That is, since the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB stored in the different distribution table SPV is extracted from the common distribution table SPP, it is stored in the distribution table SPV without increasing the data capacity. It is possible to increase the number of distribution data DBs (number of selectable variation patterns).

  (2) By sharing the distribution table SPP in the distribution table SPV in which the number of stored distribution data DBs is different, the data is compared with the case where the distribution table SPP is provided for each distribution table SPV. An increase in the number of fluctuation patterns can be realized while suppressing an increase in capacity.

  (3) Since the distribution table SPP can be shared, it is possible to change the number of variation patterns that can be selected for each distribution table SPV while suppressing an increase in data capacity. In the embodiment, the number of change patterns that can be selected in the distribution table SPV1 and the distribution table SPV3 that share the distribution table SPP1 is changed.

  (4) By setting empty data in the distribution table SPV, the distribution table SPV having a different number of stored distribution data DBs and the distribution table SPV having the same number of stored distribution data DBs are stored. In any case, the sharing table SPP can be shared. For this reason, an increase in the number of fluctuation patterns can be realized while suppressing an increase in data capacity as compared with the case where a distribution table SPP is provided for each distribution table SPV. Also, since the distribution table SPP can be shared, a variation pattern that cannot be selected from other distribution tables SPV can be set for each distribution table SPV while suppressing an increase in data capacity. , Variation of production can be increased.

  (5) Even if the distribution table SPV is provided for each jackpot symbol (for each type of hit with different profits), an increase in data capacity can be suppressed by sharing the distribution table SPP. And while suppressing the increase in data capacity, it is possible to set a specific effect that can appear for each jackpot symbol, and to increase the variation of the effect. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 having a probability changing function, an effect of determining the probability variation jackpot with a probability variation state can appear after the jackpot game ends.

  (6) Even if a distribution table SPV is provided for each gaming state, an increase in data capacity can be suppressed by sharing the distribution table SPP. And while suppressing the increase in the data capacity, it is possible to set a specific effect that can appear for each gaming state, and it is possible to increase the variation of the effect. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 having a probability variation function, when the distribution table SPV is constructed with the gaming state being a high probability state and a low probability state, reach production (normal reach or super reach) is performed in the high probability state and the low probability state. ) Can be changed. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 having a change function, when the distribution table SPV is constructed with the game state being changed and not changed, the state with and without change is the state. At times, the distribution of reach production (normal reach and super reach) can be changed.

  (7) The distribution data DB and the distribution data DA are stored in the main control ROM 35b, respectively, and the selection rate of the variation pattern and the selection rate of the distribution table SPV are adjusted by the distribution adjustment of the distribution data DA and DB. The adjustment work can be simplified. For example, when it is desired to adjust the selection rate of the variation pattern, the distribution data DB may be changed. When the selection rate of the variation pattern group (a set of variation patterns that can be selected from one distribution table SPV) is to be adjusted. The distribution data DA may be changed. Further, since only the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB is stored in the main control ROM 35b, if it is desired to change the variation pattern itself that can be selected from the distribution data DB, it is stored in the distribution table SPV. What is necessary is just to change the address for specifying the distribution table SPP to store, and the operation becomes simple.

  (8) The variation pattern of the symbol variation game of the first special symbol and the variation pattern of the symbol variation game of the second special symbol are shared, and the distribution tables T1, T2, SPV, SPP used for selecting these variation patterns , SP was standardized. For this reason, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 equipped with a plurality of special symbols, it is possible to increase the number of variation patterns while suppressing an increase in the data capacity stored in the main control ROM 35b. Thereby, the variation of game production can also be increased.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol as 1st embodiment is attached | subjected to the structure similar to 1st embodiment, the detailed description and drawing are abbreviate | omitted or simplified.

Hereinafter, the jackpot game (15 round jackpot game and two round jackpot game) and the jackpot game specified in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the second embodiment will be described in detail.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 19, one big hit is determined from the four types of big hits, and the big hit game based on the determined big hit is given. It has come to be. Of the four types of jackpots, which jackpot is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (jacket symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, 96 types of special symbol jackpot symbols are classified into four types: symbol AA, symbol AB, symbol AC and symbol AD, as shown in FIG. The symbol AA has 50 types of jackpot symbols, the symbol AB has 16 types of jackpot symbols, the symbol AC has 20 types of jackpot symbols, and the symbol C has 10 types of jackpot symbols. . Further, in the symbol AE shown in FIG. 19, five kinds of special symbols (outlier symbols) corresponding to the small hits are distributed.

  In the jackpot game based on the symbol AB, the specified number of rounds is set to “15”, and the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends, while the probability variation state is not notified (confidential) 15 It is a round jackpot game. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbol AB will be referred to as “probability concealment 15 round jackpot game”. In the probability variation concealment 15 round big hit game, the upper limit number (count number) of balls in one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the probable concealment 15 round jackpot game, it is set to open the grand prize winning opening 30 “once” in each round game. Further, in the probability variation concealment 15 round big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probable state is given after the big hit game ends. Further, in the probability variation concealment 15 round big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, a predetermined number of times (100 times in the present embodiment) is set as the upper limit number of times to give a variable state.

  The jackpot game based on the symbol AA is the same as the “probability 15 round jackpot game” in the first embodiment. The jackpot game based on the symbol AC is the same as the “non-probability 15 round jackpot game” of the first embodiment. The jackpot game based on the symbol AD is the same as the “probability two-round jackpot game” in the first embodiment. The small hit game based on the design AE is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  For this reason, the only difference between the non-probability variable 15 round jackpot game and the probability variable concealment 15 round jackpot game is whether or not the probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. That is, the number of round games, the number of games to which a short time state is given after the end of the big hit game, and the like are set to be the same, so that the player cannot judge the presence / absence of the probable change state visually.

  In the present embodiment, the effect mode is changed in response to the execution of the big hit game, the execution of the small hit game, and the change in the game state. In the production mode, a probability variation mode for notifying that a probability variation state has been assigned, a probability variation suggestion mode that suggests the possibility that a probability variation state has been imparted, a chance mode in which the appearance rate of a jackpot notice or the like changes, A normal mode in which the presence / absence of the probability variation state is not notified is prepared.

  When the production mode is changed, the execution probability of reach production, the appearance ratio of normal reach and super reach, the background image, the appearance character, the display form of the decorative design, and the like are changed. In this embodiment, when the probability variation 15 round jackpot game is completed, or when the probability variation 2 round jackpot game selected when at least one of the probability variation state or the short-time state is granted, the probability variation mode is set. It is set up. When this probability change mode is set, the main control CPU 35a sets a distribution type flag FA indicating that the probability change mode is set in the main control RAM 35c.

  In addition, the probability variation suggestion mode is set when the probability variation concealment 15 round jackpot game ends or when the non-probability variation jackpot game ends. When this probability change mode is set, the main control CPU 35a sets a distribution type flag FB indicating that the probability change suggestion mode is set in the main control RAM 35c. Also, the chance mode is set when the small hit game ends or when the probable two round big hit game that is won in the normal state where neither the probability change state nor the short-time state is given ends. . When this chance mode is set, the main control CPU 35a sets a distribution type flag FC indicating that the chance mode is set in the main control RAM 35c. In addition, the normal mode is set when the time-short state ends or when the game is completed a predetermined number of times after the chance mode is set. When the normal mode is set, the main control CPU 35a sets a distribution type flag FD indicating that the normal mode is set in the main control RAM 35c.

FIG. 23B shows a distribution table SPV103 associated with “40” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T11 shown in FIG. 20B among the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. Show. Also, FIG. 23C is shared so as to be read from the distribution table SPV101 (FIG. 23A) and the distribution table SPV103 (FIG. 23B) in the distribution table SPP of this embodiment. The assigned distribution table SPP101 is shown.

  In the distribution table SPV101 shown in FIG. 23A, "address of the distribution table SPP101" is stored as the read address of the distribution table SPP (first line). In the distribution table SPV101, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV101 is stored in accordance with the comparison order in which the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution data DB with the value of the distribution random number R2. (2nd line ~). Note that the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV101 are 15 types of variation patterns to which the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed. Then, the main control CPU 35a that selects the variation pattern using the distribution table SPV101 compares the value of the distribution random number R2 with the distribution data DB in the order from the smaller variation pattern number to the larger variation pattern number. . That is, the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution data DB corresponding to these variation patterns with the distribution random number R2 in the order of the variation patterns P13 → P17 → P18 →... → P63 → P66.

  For this reason, the distribution table SPV101 stores distribution data DB corresponding to each variation pattern in accordance with the comparison order described above. Specifically, in the distribution table SPV101, “1” as the distribution data DB having the first comparison order is the value of the “one” distribution random number R2 distributed to the variation pattern P13 (0). ). In the distribution table SPV101, “2” as the distribution data DB having the second comparison order indicates the value (1) of the “one” distribution random number R2 distributed to the variation pattern P17. The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 23A, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order becomes “1” corresponding to the number “1” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order has the second allocation data. The minute data DB adds “1” to the number “1” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “2”.

  Further, in the distribution table SPV103 shown in FIG. 23B, “address of the distribution table SPP101” is stored as the read address of the distribution table SPP (first line). As a result, in the distribution table SPV101 and the distribution table SPV103, the same specific value is stored as the specific value for specifying the “address of the distribution table SPP101”, that is, the variation pattern specifying table. Will be.

  In the distribution table SPV103, as with the distribution table SPV101, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV103 is compared with the value of the distribution random number R2 by the main control CPU 35a. Are stored in accordance with the comparison order (from the second line). The change patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV103 are 14 types of change patterns to which the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed. Then, the main control CPU 35a that selects the variation pattern using the distribution table SPV103 compares the value of the random number for distribution R2 with the distribution data DB in the order from the smaller variation pattern number to the larger variation pattern number. . That is, the main control CPU 35a compares the distribution data DB corresponding to these change patterns with the value of the distribution random number R2 in the order of change patterns P18 → P20 →... → P70 → P71.

  By the way, there are 14 types of variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV103, and the types are distribution tables that extract data values (pattern data DC) for specifying variation patterns from the same distribution table SPP101. There are fewer types of variation patterns (15 types) that can be selected from the SPV 101. In the distribution table SPP101 shown in FIG. 23C, the main control CPU 35a has the distribution data in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the distribution random number R2. Pattern data DC corresponding to DB is stored. Specifically, in the distribution table SPP101 of the present embodiment, the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB is the same as the comparison order of the distribution data DB stored in the distribution table SPV101. Stored. As a result, when the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern using the distribution table SPV101, the comparison order of the distribution data DB specified by comparing the distribution data DB and the distribution random number R2 A variation pattern to be selected can be selected by extracting pattern data DC stored in the same order.

  On the other hand, the sort table SPV 103 has fewer types of change patterns that can be selected than the sort table SPV 101 as described above. For this reason, when the distribution table SPV103 is constructed with only the distribution data DB corresponding to the selectable variation pattern, the main control CPU 35a selects from the distribution table SPP101 when selecting the variation pattern using the distribution table SPV103. The correct pattern data DC cannot be extracted.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the distribution table SPP is shared by a plurality of distribution tables SPV having different types of variation patterns that can be selected, the same variation pattern that can be selected from each distribution table SPV. The distribution data DB is stored so that the comparison order is the same. On the other hand, for a variation pattern that can be selected from one distribution table SPV but cannot be selected from the other distribution table, the other is in the same order as the comparison order of the variation patterns in one distribution table. Empty data as special judgment values is stored in this distribution table. This empty data is configured with a value that the main control CPU 35a cannot determine as a variation pattern to be selected as a comparison result even when compared with the value of the random number for distribution R2.

  The main control CPU 35a that compares the distribution data DB with the distribution random number R2 stores the distribution data DB in the distribution data DB when the distribution random number R2 is smaller than the numerical value stored as the distribution data DB. The corresponding variation pattern is determined as the variation pattern to be selected. Therefore, the empty data is configured with a numerical value that is equal to or less than the value of the distribution random number R2 when the main control CPU 35a compares the value of the empty data and the distribution random number R2. Based on the above description, in the distribution table SPV103 of this embodiment shown in FIG. 23B, the distribution data is selected so that the comparison order is the same for the variation patterns that can also be selected from the distribution table SPV101. DB is stored, and empty data is stored in correspondence with the comparison order of variation patterns that can be selected only from the distribution table SPV101. With such a configuration, when the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern using the distribution table SPV103, the distribution data DB identified by comparing the distribution data DB and the distribution random number R2 value is determined. Pattern data DC stored in the same order as the comparison order can be extracted, and a variation pattern to be selected can be selected.

  FIG. 24A shows a distribution table SPV201 associated with “200” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T11 shown in FIG. 21A in the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. FIG. 24B shows a distribution table SPV 203 associated with “125” as the distribution data DA of the distribution table T11 shown in FIG. 21B in the distribution table SPV of the present embodiment. Show. Further, FIG. 24C is shared so that it can be read from the distribution table SPV201 (FIG. 24A) and the distribution table SPV203 (FIG. 24B) in the distribution table SPP of this embodiment. The assigned distribution table SPP201 is shown.

  In the distribution table SPV201 illustrated in FIG. 24A and the distribution table SPV203 illustrated in FIG. 24B, “address of the distribution table SPP201” is stored as a read address of the distribution table SPP (each The first row of the table). As a result, the distribution table SPV201 and the distribution table SPV203 each store the same specific value as the specific value for specifying the "address of the distribution table SPP2", that is, the variation pattern specifying table. Will be.

  In the distribution table SPV201 and the distribution table SPV203, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SPV201 and the distribution table SPV203 is distributed by the main control CPU 35a. Are stored in accordance with the comparison order compared with the value of (from the second row of each table). Note that the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV201 and the variation pattern that can be selected from the distribution table SPV203 are the same variation pattern, and six types of variation patterns to which the value of the random number for distribution R2 is distributed. Has been. For this reason, the distribution data SP corresponding to each variation pattern is stored in the distribution table SPV201 and the distribution table SPV203 so that the comparison order of the same variation pattern is the same.

  The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. For this reason, in the example shown in FIG. 24A, the distribution data DB with the first comparison order is “30” corresponding to the number “30” of the random numbers for distribution R2, and the comparison order is the second. The minute data DB adds “30” to the number “30” of the random number for distribution R2 to become “60”.

  Further, in the distribution table SPP201 shown in FIG. 24C, the main control CPU 35a has the distribution data in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the distribution random number R2. Pattern data DC corresponding to DB is stored. Specifically, the distribution table SPP201 of this embodiment corresponds to the distribution data DB so that the comparison order of the distribution data DBs stored in the distribution table SPV201 and the distribution table SPV203 is the same order. Pattern data DC to be stored is stored.

  FIG. 25A shows an allocation table SP301 associated with “165” as the allocation data of the allocation table T12 shown in FIG. 22A among the allocation tables SP of the present embodiment. FIG. 25B shows a distribution table SP305 associated with “100” as distribution data of the distribution table T12 shown in FIG. 22C among the distribution table SP of the present embodiment.

  In the distribution table SP301 and the distribution table SP305, the distribution data DB corresponding to the variation patterns that can be selected from the distribution table SP301 and the distribution table SP305 is stored in the distribution table SP305 by the main control CPU 35a. Are stored according to the comparison order. The distribution data DB is a cumulative value of the number of distribution random numbers R2 distributed to each variation pattern. In the distribution table SP301 and the distribution table SP305, the main control CPU 35a stores the distribution data DB in the same order as the comparison order of the distribution data DB to be compared with the value of the distribution random number R2. Corresponding pattern data DC are stored.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the distribution table SPP is constructed so as to be shared by a plurality of distribution tables SPV. More specifically, the distribution table SPP101 is divided into different presentation modes when the same winning type (symbol AA) is obtained in the same gaming state, such as the distribution table SPV101 and the distribution table SPV103. It is shared by the provided distribution table SPV. The distribution table SPV101 and the distribution table SPV103 are different in the number of pattern data DC that can be specified from each table. Specifically, the number of pattern data DC that can be specified from the distribution table SPV1 is set to 15, whereas the number of pattern data DC that can be specified from the distribution table SPV3 is set to 14.

  Similarly, the distribution table SPP201 is provided for each different effect mode when the same winning type (symbol AE) is obtained in the same gaming state, such as the distribution table SPV201 and the distribution table SPV203. Common to the distribution table SPV. Note that the distribution table SPV201 and the distribution table SPV203 each have six pattern data DC that can be specified from the respective tables, and are set to be the same. As described above, when the distribution table SPP is shared by the plurality of distribution tables SPV, an increase in the data capacity stored in the main control ROM 35b can be suppressed.

  Hereinafter, a variation pattern selection process in which the main control CPU 35a selects a variation pattern in the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  In the present embodiment, when executing the variation pattern selection process, the main control CPU 35a grasps the gaming state when the variation pattern is selected, and grasps whether it is a big hit, a small hit, a loss reach, or a loss. Furthermore, the main control CPU 35a grasps what is set in the set production mode, specifically the distribution type flag, when executing the variation pattern selection process. In the case of a big hit, the big hit symbol (design AA to AC) is grasped. Then, the main control CPU 35a identifies the sorting tables T11 and T12 in which the sorting data DA to be compared with the value of the sorting random number R1 is stored from the above grasped result, and the identified sorting table. Steps S10 to S35 are executed for T11 and T12.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 35a determines whether or not the type of the big hit symbol and the short-time state are given when the big hit is made. When the time reduction state is not given, the main control CPU 35a specifies the allocation table T11 having the specified jackpot symbol and without the time reduction, and targets the specified distribution table T11 as a target in step S10. The process of ~ S35 is executed. When the time saving state is given, the main control CPU 35a reads the setting of the distribution type flag in order to specify the effect mode. Then, when the distribution type flag FA is stored, the main control CPU 35a specifies the allocation table T11 of the specified big hit symbol, and has a short time, and specifies the distribution table T11 of the distribution type flag FA. Then, the processes of steps S10 to S35 are executed for the specified distribution table T11. Further, when the distribution type flag FB is stored, the main control CPU 35a specifies the allocation table T11 of the specified big hit symbol, and has a short time, and specifies the distribution table T11 of the distribution type flag FB. Then, the processes of steps S10 to S35 are executed for the specified distribution table T11.

  Further, the main control CPU 35a determines whether or not the time reduction state is given when the small hit is made. When the time saving state is not given, the main control CPU 35a specifies the allocation table T11 with a short hit design, which has no time reduction, and performs steps S10 to S10 for the specified distribution table T11. The process of S35 is executed. When the time saving state is given, the main control CPU 35a reads the setting of the distribution type flag in order to specify the effect mode. Then, when the distribution type flag FA is stored, the main control CPU 35a specifies the distribution table T11 of the small hit symbol distribution table T11, which is short in time, and which is the distribution type flag FA. Then, the processes of steps S10 to S35 are executed for the specified distribution table T11. Further, when the distribution type flag FB is stored, the main control CPU 35a specifies the allocation table T11 of the specified big hit symbol, and has a short time, and specifies the distribution table T11 of the distribution type flag FB. Then, the processes of steps S10 to S35 are executed for the specified distribution table T11.

  In addition, the main control CPU 35a determines whether or not the reach effect is executed when there is a loss. When the reach effect is executed, the main control CPU 35a executes the processes of steps S10 to S35 for the reach effect distribution table T12. When the reach effect is not executed, the main control CPU 35a determines whether or not the time saving state is given. When the time saving state is not given, the main control CPU 35a reads the number of reserved memories. Then, the main control CPU 35a executes the processing of steps S10 to S35 for the out-of-order distribution table T12 corresponding to the read number of reserved storages and without the time reduction. For example, if the number of reserved storages read is 1, the main control CPU 35a sets the reserved storage number shown in FIG. ˜S35 is executed.

  When the time saving state is given, the main control CPU 35a reads the number of reserved memories and reads the setting of the distribution type flag. Then, when the distribution type flag FA is stored, the main control CPU 35a is an out-of-order distribution table T12 corresponding to the read stored storage number, has a short time, and the distribution type flag FA is allocated. Steps S10 to S35 are executed for the minute table T12. In addition, when the distribution type flag FB is stored, the main control CPU 35a is an out-of-order distribution table T12 corresponding to the read stored storage number, has a short time, and the distribution type flag FB has a distribution time. Steps S10 to S35 are executed for the minute table T12.

  The main control CPU 35a performs the above-described grasp from various flags set in the main control RAM 35c. Moreover, since the process of step S10-S35 is the same as that of 1st embodiment, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects of the first embodiment.
(9) A variation pattern can be selected from different types of variation patterns according to the effect mode, and the symbol variation game can be executed based on the variation pattern. That is, the game effects in the symbol variation game can be different for each effect mode, and the variations of effects can be increased. Further, a variation pattern can be selected from different types of variation patterns according to the number of reserved memories, and the symbol variation game can be executed based on the variation pattern. That is, the game effect in the symbol variation game can be changed according to the number of reserved memories, and the variation of the effect can be increased. On the other hand, even if a plurality of distribution tables SPV are prepared for each production mode, a distribution data DB is provided for each distribution table SPV by sharing the distribution table SPP with respect to the plurality of distribution tables SPV. In addition, an increase in data capacity can be suppressed as compared with the case of storing pattern data DC in association with each other. That is, since the pattern data DC corresponding to the distribution data DB stored in the different distribution table SPV is extracted from the common distribution table SPP, it is stored in the distribution table SPV without increasing the data capacity. It is possible to increase the number of distribution data DBs (number of selectable variation patterns).
