Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can continuously execute a variation cycle of a symbol variation game once, from a symbol variation start to a symbol variation stop, a plurality of times.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine that is a type of gaming machine, a big hit lottery for whether or not a big hit is made when a game ball enters the start winning opening arranged on the game board is performed, and the lottery results of the big hit lottery are multiple It is derived by executing a symbol variation game in which the symbols of the columns are varied and displayed. In the symbol variation game, the player can recognize the big hit if the symbol that is finally stopped is a big hit symbol.

  In this type of symbol variation game, in order to improve the interest of the player, various effects are suggested that suggest the possibility of a “big hit” for the player. As one of such effects, there is a continuous notice effect that produces an effect as if a plurality of symbol variation games are being executed in one symbol variation game (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this continuous notice effect, the greater the number of symbol variation games (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as variation cycles) executed in a single symbol variation game, the more likely it will be a “big hit”, that is, a big hit. In general, the degree of expectation is set high. Then, in the continuous notice effect, the effect is configured so that the variation time of one symbol variation game is not made redundant because the effect is performed as if a plurality of symbol variation games are being executed. Specifically, among the multiple symbol variation games that are executed in a pseudo manner, in the other symbol variation games except the last symbol variation game, the deviation result is derived without forming a reach, The variation time is set shorter than that of the symbol variation game (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3). Reach refers to a state in which, for example, when a symbol combination composed of three rows of symbols is derived, the symbol derived first and the symbol derived next are the same.

  By the way, since a single fluctuation cycle is almost the same as a single symbol fluctuation game, it seems to the player from which fluctuation cycle the continuous notice effect starts and at which fluctuation notice the continuous notice effect ends. It was hard to recognize. That is, it is difficult to know in which fluctuation cycle the display result of the symbol fluctuation game is displayed, and there is a possibility that it is difficult to know in which fluctuation cycle the expectation for the big hit by the continuous notice effect is possible. For this reason, for example, when a symbol variation game with a reach effect is performed after a continuous notice effect has been shifted without a reach effect, the player may play a continuous notice effect with the symbol variation game with the reach effect. If you didn't know whether or not it was going on, you didn't know if you could have expectations for the reach.

  In this way, if it is difficult to understand the continuous notice effect, it seems that the symbol variation game that will be out of play even if the fluctuation cycle continues, or it seems that the continuous notice effect cannot be expected, There was a possibility that the interest of the player would decrease. For this reason, even if it is a continuous notice effect, it is necessary for the player to grasp the expected fluctuation cycle.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine that can indicate how long a variable cycle will continue during a continuous notice effect.

  A gaming machine that solves the above-described problem includes display means for displaying a symbol variation game in which a plurality of types of symbols are variably displayed until the symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed once, and is predetermined in the symbol variation game. When the jackpot display result is displayed, in the gaming machine in which the jackpot game advantageous to the player is generated, a notice effect indicating whether the jackpot display result is displayed or not is displayed. A notice effect display means for displaying on the display means during a variable game is provided, and the notice effect has a predetermined variable cycle that is counted once in the event of the variable display start of the symbol in one symbol variable game. A first continuous notice effect that is continuously executed until the upper limit number of times is reached, and the possibility of whether or not the jackpot display result is displayed according to the upper limit number of the fluctuation cycles; The variation cycle is executed a plurality of times in one symbol variation game, with the content of the notification of the continuous number indicating the number of variation cycles of the first continuous announcement effect in advance and the effect content different from the first continuous announcement effect. When including the second continuous notice effect and executing the continuous number notification effect, the effect content of the continuous number notification effect is determined by changing the selection rate of the effect content that can be selected according to the number of suggested fluctuation cycles. The notification content determining means is further provided, and the notice effect display means is executed in the first continuous notice effect during at least the symbol change during the change cycle when the first continuous notice effect is executed. When the second continuous notice effect is being executed while the continuous number notification effect indicating the number of times equal to or less than the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles to be executed is executed, The gist that you do not run the notification effect.

  In the gaming machine, when the jackpot display result is displayed, the game machine includes a jackpot game granting means for determining a release mode of the jackpot game to be given, and granting the jackpot game of the decided release mode, the notice effect display means In the case where the jackpot display result is displayed, when the continuous notice effect is executed, the upper limit number of variable cycles may be associated with the advantage of the open mode of the jackpot game to be given.

  The gaming machine further includes main control means for controlling the entire gaming machine, and effect control means for controlling various effects based on the control signal output from the main control means. A variation pattern determining means for determining a variation pattern for specifying a performance time; and a variation pattern designating means for designating a variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determining means. A notice determination unit for determining whether or not to execute a continuous notice effect and a notice effect display means are provided, and the notice effect display means executes the first continuous notice effect or the second continuous notice effect. If it is determined to be performed, the first continuous notice effect or the second continuous notice determined to be executed based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designating means. Determining the effect content of output, it may be caused to execute the first continuous announcement attraction or second continuous announcement attraction in the effect contents.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to suggest how long the fluctuation cycle continues during the continuous notice effect.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko machine”), which is a kind of gaming machine, will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, the front side of the pachinko machine 10 is schematically shown, and a vertical rectangular middle frame 12 for setting various game components is opened and closed on the front side of the opening of the outer frame 11 that forms the outline of the machine body. And is detachably assembled. On the front side of the middle frame 12, a front frame 14 having a glass frame on which a protective glass for protecting the game board 13 disposed inside the machine is mounted and an upper ball tray 15 are opened and closed in a laterally open state. It is assembled as possible. On the front side of the front frame 14 and the game area 13 a of the game board 13, a decoration lamp 16 that performs a light emission effect by light emission (lighting (flashing)) of a light emitter (LED, lamp, etc.) is provided. A speaker 17 that outputs various sounds and performs a game effect based on the sound output is arranged below the outer frame 11. 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 to drive the launching device 19, the game ball in the upper ball tray 15 is launched into the game area 13 a of the game board 13. In addition, in the center of the front side of the gaming machine installation facility (amusement island) 50 for installing the pachinko machine 10 in the amusement hall, various information such as the number of jackpots won by the pachinko machine 10 is displayed. Is installed.

  In FIG. 2, a first special figure display H0 as a 7-segment type display means and a second special figure display H1 as a 7-segment type display means are provided at the lower right of the game area 13a of the game board 13. Is provided. In the game area 13a of the game board 13, a variable display H2 is provided as a liquid crystal display type display means. The game area 13a of the game board 13 is provided with a center accessory 20 as a decorative member. In the first special symbol display device H0 and the second special graphic display device H1, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the variable display H2, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed in the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1 is performed. Specifically, the variable display H2 performs a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display), and changes a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns to display a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as a symbol). May be shown as a combination game).

  In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 changes a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in a single column. Is displayed. This special figure is a notification pattern indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, the symbol variation game performed on the first special symbol display device H0 is referred to as “first variation game (second symbol variation game)”, and the symbol variation game performed on the second special symbol display device H1 is referred to as “second variation game”. ”Fluctuation game (first symbol fluctuation game)”. On the other hand, in the display effect related to the symbol variation game, the variable display H2 varies a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative diagrams”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display a decorative drawing for each column. This decorative drawing is a design for production used for diversifying display production.

  Then, on the first special figure display H0 or the second special figure display H1, the variation display of the symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special diagram is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the variable display H2 starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing at the same time as the start of the symbol changing game, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed in a swinging and changing state before the end of the game. The decoration drawing is displayed as a fixed stop. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, display effects relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game are started at the same time, and are simultaneously ended (that is, the special diagram and the decoration drawing are confirmed and stopped at the same time). ). Similarly, in the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decoration drawing are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop state). ) On the other hand, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 do not play the symbol variation game in parallel. That is, only one of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1 correspond to the lottery results of the big hit lottery and the small lottery lottery from a plurality of types of special drawings (111 types in the present embodiment). One special figure to be selected is selected, and the selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the symbol variation game. The 111 types of special charts are 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and 10 kinds of jackpot symbols (results of small hits display) that can recognize jackpots. )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. The small hit lottery is performed when the big hit lottery is not won. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed, the player is given a small hit game. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Numbers of types are displayed as decorative drawings. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 is configured with a larger display area than the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is far more than the special figure. Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination ([123] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is given. The symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of the big hit determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, each row in the variable display H2 is configured such that the decorative drawing is variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction) when the symbol variation game is started. When the symbol variation game is started (when the decorations in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the variable display H2. The decorative drawings are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative drawings of the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are the same type and are stopped and displayed, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column that first stops the decorative drawing becomes the first stop display column, and the right column that stops the decorative drawing next is the first column. The second stop display column is the third stop display column.

  The variable display H2 displays symbol combinations according to the display results of the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. More specifically, a special combination displayed on the first special graphic display H0 or the second special graphic display H1 and a combination of symbols displayed on the variable display H2 are associated with each other. When the process is completed, the symbol combination of the special figure and the decorative drawing is displayed correspondingly in a fixed stop state. For example, when the big hit symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display H1 in a definite stop display, the variable big indicator H2 also has a big hit symbol such as [222] or [444] in principle. The combination is displayed with a fixed stop. In addition, when a shift symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, a combination of symbols such as [121] and [345] is determined also on the variable display H2. The stop is displayed. Further, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or the second special symbol display area H1, the symbol combination of [123] suggesting the probability change is also displayed on the variable display H2. It has become so. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes. As described above, in the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, the display effects related to the first and second variable games (the symbol variable game in which the three symbol combinations are displayed in a variable manner to display a combination of symbols). Is to be done.

  In addition, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed on the lower right side of the game board 13 so as to sandwich the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1. In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). Is sometimes displayed). In this embodiment, there are three types of ordinary diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the right LED is lit, only the left LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the general map shown when both LEDs are turned on is called “0”, and the general map shown when only the right LED is turned on is called “1”. The usual figure shown by turning on only the LED is the ordinary figure “2”.

  The player can recognize a normal hit or deviation from a symbol combination (display result derived in the general game) finally displayed in the general game. When the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “1” or “2”, the normal hit can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this normal hit becomes the display result of the normal hit. When the normal hit display result is displayed, the normal hit game is given to the player. In addition, when the common figure displayed on the normal symbol display H10 is “0”, a deviation from the usual figure can be recognized. The usual figure which can recognize this detachment becomes a display result of detachment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a first start winning opening 25 as a second starting means having a first starting entrance into which a game ball can always enter is disposed below the center accessory 20. Has been. A first start port sensor SE1 (shown in FIG. 3) that detects a game ball that has entered is provided behind the first start winning port 25. The first start winning opening 25 can give a start condition for the first variable game when a game ball enters. Also, below the first start winning opening 25, an opening / closing member that opens and closes by the operation of a second starting entry opening through which a game ball can enter and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 (shown in FIG. 3). A second start winning opening 27 serving as a first starting means including an opening / closing blade (ordinary electric accessory) 26 is provided. In FIG. 2, the open / close blade 26 opened is indicated by a solid line.

  A second start port sensor SE2 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is provided behind the second start winning port 27. The second start winning opening 27 can give a start condition for the second variable game when the game ball enters. The second starting entrance opening of the second starting winning opening 27 is always closed with the opening / closing blade 26 closed. In a state where the second starting entrance is closed, the second starting winning opening 27 is in a state where entering is not possible (a state in which entering is restricted). Then, when the predetermined opening condition is satisfied, the second starting entrance is opened for a predetermined opening time only once or a plurality of times by operating the opening / closing blade 26 from the closed state to the open state. Is done. In a state where the second starting entrance is open, the second starting winning opening 27 is in a state where it is possible to enter (a state where entry is permitted). The first start winning opening 25 and the second start winning opening 27 are juxtaposed along the flow-down direction (vertical direction) of the game balls launched into the game area 13a of the game board 13, and the game board according to this embodiment. 13 is provided with a plurality of start condition devices (winning detection means) that can give start conditions. In addition, the first start winning opening 25 and the second starting winning opening 27 of the present embodiment are configured to pay out three winning balls when a game ball enters.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a big prize opening device provided with a big prize opening door 28 that opens and closes by the operation of a big prize opening solenoid SOL1 (shown in FIG. 3) below the second start winning prize opening 27. 29 (special prize opening) is arranged. Behind the big prize opening device 29 is provided a count switch SE3 for detecting a game ball that has entered. When a big hit game or a small hit game is generated, the big prize opening device 29 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 28 so that a game ball can be entered. Can get a chance to win. Note that the big prize opening device 29 of the present embodiment is configured to pay out 15 prize balls when a game ball is entered.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a first holding indicator Ra is disposed at the lower left portion of the center accessory 20. The first hold indicator Ra enters the first start winning opening 25 and becomes the start hold ball and is stored as the start hold ball (RAM 30c) (hereinafter referred to as “first special figure start hold”). The number of times of the first variable game being held is notified by the display content of the first hold indicator Ra.

  The first special figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the first start prize opening 25, and decremented by 1 (-1) when the first variable game is started. Then, when a game ball enters the first start winning opening 25 during the first variable game (or the second variable game), the first special figure start reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number. (4 in the present embodiment) is accumulated. The first hold indicator Ra is composed of a plurality (four) of light emitting means. For example, when one light-emitting means is lit, it is notified that one first variable game is pending. Therefore, the player sees the display content of the first hold indicator Ra and recognizes that the first variable game is currently being executed when the number of the first variable games held is reduced. be able to.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a second holding indicator Rb is disposed at the lower right side of the center accessory 20. The second hold indicator Rb enters the second start winning opening 27 and stores the number of start hold balls stored as the start hold ball (RAM 30c) (hereinafter referred to as “second special figure start hold”). The number of times of the second variable game being held is informed by the display content of the second hold indicator Rb. The second special figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball enters the second start prize opening 27, and decremented by 1 (-1) when the second variable game is started. When the game ball enters the second start winning opening 27 during the second variable game (or the first variable game), the second special figure start reserved memory number is further added (+1) to a predetermined upper limit number. (4 in the present embodiment) is accumulated. The second hold indicator Rb is composed of a plurality (four) of light emitting means. For example, when two light-emitting means are lit, it is notified that two second variation games are on hold. Therefore, the player looks at the display content of the second hold indicator Rb and recognizes that the second variable game is currently being executed when the number of the second variable games held is reduced. be able to.

  An operation gate 23 is disposed on the left side of the center accessory 20. Behind the operation gate 23, a gate sensor SE4 (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a winning (passing) game ball is provided. The operation gate 23 can give the start condition for the usual game when the winning of the game ball is detected (passage detection). The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the second start winning opening 27 is in an open state (whether a game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening 27). The second start winning opening 27 is always in a closed state in which the entrance is closed by the opening and closing blades 26, and in this closed state, a game ball cannot be won. On the other hand, in the second start winning opening 27, when a game is given per usual figure, the opening and closing blades 26 are opened to open the second starting winning opening 27 so that a game ball can be won. . That is, when a game is given per game, a game ball can be awarded to the second start prize opening 27 by opening the opening / closing blade 26, so that it becomes easier to win a game ball at the second start prize slot 27, The player can obtain a chance to easily acquire the starting condition and the prize ball of the second variable game. It should be noted that game balls can always be awarded to the first start winning opening 25 under the same conditions.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a normal symbol holding display M is disposed above the normal symbol display H10. The normal symbol hold indicator M has the number of stored start balls stored in the inside of the machine (RAM 30c) as the game balls pass through the actuating gate 23 and becomes the start hold balls (hereinafter referred to as “the normal figure start hold memory number”). The number of times of the regular game being held is notified by the display content of the normal symbol hold display M.

  The usual figure start reserved memory number is incremented by 1 (+1) when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23, and is subtracted by 1 (-1) when the usual figure game is started. Then, when the game ball passes through the operation gate 23 during the normal game, the normal map start reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). And the normal symbol hold | maintenance display M is comprised by the multiple (4 pieces) light emission means. When one light-emitting means is lit, it is informed that one normal game is pending.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function as a special gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function that gives a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1549 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (40/1549 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until a predetermined number of times (10000 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of games is reached. In the present embodiment, since the predetermined number of times is set to 10,000, the probability variation state is substantially equivalent to being given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting.

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result as to whether or not the opening / closing blade 26 is opened is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the ordinary game is higher than the normal probability. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state that fluctuates with probability is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes in an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. In other words, when a normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms or 2500 ms elapses after the opening. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1160 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 is set so that when the entrance rate improvement state is given, the total opening time is longer than the state where the normal state is given, and the player operates favorably for the player. Yes.

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 9 balls) has entered. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 9 balls) of game balls has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, whether or not the entrance rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of the probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit is played. .

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a time-saving function that gives a reduced variation time (hereinafter referred to as “time-short”) state as a special game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state. Yes. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the entrance rate improvement state, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game, as described above.

  In other words, when a normal game is won in the normal state, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms or 2500 ms elapses after the opening.

In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability change state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability change state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit game, and the short time state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery. For example, even after the small hit game ends, the time-short state is continuously given. In addition, in the small hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the improved winning rate is continuously given after the small hit game ends. Further, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

  In the small hit game, “0 (second)” is set as the opening time, and “0.936 (second)” is set as the ending time. The opening time of the first opening and the second opening is set to “0.32 (seconds)” as the opening mode of the large winning opening device 29 (large winning opening door 28) of the round game in the small hit game. At the same time, “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the first opening and the second opening. Thereby, the round game time of one round game in the small hit game is set to “2.64 (seconds)” composed of “0.32 (seconds) +2.0 (seconds) +0.32 (seconds)”. Will be. For this reason, the round game time of the small hit game is the second round after the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened in the first round of the 2R normal probability variable big hit game and the 2R special probability variable big hit game. The time until the big prize opening device 29 is closed is the same time. Further, the round game time of the small hit game is the same as the time until the big prize opening device 29 finishes the second opening in the first round of the jump-up big hit game.

  Note that the round game time of the round game in the small hit game is the maximum time because the round game may be ended by entering the upper limit number of game balls. However, in the round game time (2.64 (seconds)) of the small hit game, the number of game balls entering the big prize opening device 29 in one round game does not satisfy the upper limit number of balls entered. It is set to such a time. In other words, in a round game of small hit games, it is practical to launch and enter “9 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (2.64 (seconds)). It is impossible.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The lamp control board 33 controls the light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the decorative lamp 16 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

  Further, an external terminal board 40 as an external output device is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The external terminal board 40 is a hall computer HC (shown in FIG. 3) as an external device installed in a game room management room or the like for managing the operating state of each pachinko machine installed in the game hall, or a pachinko machine. It is a board connected to the jackpot number notification device KH for displaying various information such as the number of jackpots won in the gaming machine 10.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, a count switch SE3, and the like are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a first special symbol display H0, a second special graphic indicator H1, a first reserved indicator Ra, a second reserved indicator Rb, and a normal symbol reserved indicator M. ing. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display H10 and a gate sensor SE4. Further, an external terminal board 40 is connected to the main control board 30, and a hall computer HC is connected to the external terminal board 40. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10 is stored in the ROM 30b. The ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decoration) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production. In other words, the variation pattern can specify the effect content and the effect time (the change time) of the symbol change game from when the special figure starts to change until the special figure is confirmed and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the variation patterns include variation patterns P1 to P4 for the big hit effect selected when winning the big hit lottery, and the variation pattern for the small hit effect selected when winning the small hit lottery. P5, and variation patterns P6 to P14 for a loss effect selected in the case of a loss that has not won both the big win lottery and the small hit lottery. In the variation pattern for the offending effect, a reach is formed, and after the reach effect is performed, the fluctuation pattern P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect that is finally set as a deviation, and the outlier effect that is a deviation without forming the reach. Variation patterns P9 to P14.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern for the big hit effect is selected when the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R positive variable secret big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game are determined. There are normal variation patterns P1 to P3. The variation pattern for the big hit effect includes a specific variation pattern P4 selected when the jump-up big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 2R special probability variable big hit game are determined. The specific variation pattern P4 selected when the jump-up jackpot game or the like is determined is the same as the effect content of the symbol variation game specified by the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect, and has the same variation time. Are associated patterns.

  Note that the jackpot effect performed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the symbol combination is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. .

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P14 will be described in detail.
When the first variation game is performed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 can respectively recognize the big hit symbol and the big hit symbol combination. Is finally displayed. In addition, when the second variation game is performed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect, the big special symbol that can recognize the big hit and the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 respectively. The jackpot symbol combination is finally displayed.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the specific variation pattern P4 selected when the jump-up jackpot game, 2R normal probability variation big hit game, and 2R special probability variation big hit game are determined, the first special figure display H0. And in the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the big hit symbol and the probability variation suggestion is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the specific variation pattern P4, the jackpot symbol and the symbol combination of the probability variation suggestion are finally displayed on the second special symbol display H1 and the variable indicator H2, respectively. It is like that. For example, when the first variation game is played based on the specific variation pattern P4 selected when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is determined, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the probability variation by the decoration diagram is performed. At the same time as the suggested symbol combination is displayed, the first special symbol display H0 displays the big hit symbol based on the special symbol.

  In addition, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect selected when the small hit game is determined, the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2 respectively. The combination of the small hit symbol and the symbol suggesting the probability variation is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect selected when the small hit game is determined, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 respectively. Finally, a small hit symbol and a symbol combination that suggests a probability change are finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P5 for the small hit effect, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2, the symbol combination suggesting the probability change by the decorative drawing is displayed at the same time. In the first special figure display H0, a small hit symbol according to the special figure is displayed.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach production, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 respectively have a dislocation symbol and a disparity symbol (outlier reach). The combination is finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect, the second special figure display device H1 and the variable display device H2 each have a dislocation symbol and a disengagement (outlier reach). The symbol combination is finally displayed. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect, after the reach effect is performed with the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the outliers according to the decorative drawing is displayed. At the same time, the first special figure display H0 displays the off-line symbols according to the special figure.

  Then, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9 to P14 for the offending effect, after the normal variation on the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, the combination of the deviation symbol and the deviation symbol respectively. Is finally displayed. When the second variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9 to P14 for the offending effect, the second special symbol display device H1 and the variable display device H2 each have the final symbol combination and the symbol combination of the dislocation after the normal variation. The pattern is displayed automatically. For example, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation pattern P9 to P14 for the offending effect, the normal variation is performed after the symbol variation game is started, and the symbol combination of the deviation based on the decoration is displayed on the variable display H2. At the same time, the first special figure display H0 is configured to display an off symbol according to the special figure.

  Note that, when a reach effect is performed in a symbol variation game, the longer the rendering time specified by the variation pattern is, the higher the jackpot reliability is set. That is, the main CPU 30a determines that the provision of the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R probability variable secret big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probable big hit game is longer than the variation pattern with a short presentation time. Even easier to determine long fluctuation patterns. On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative and the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a can easily determine a variation pattern that is shorter than a variation pattern with a long presentation time. Therefore, the main CPU 30a is more likely to determine a variation pattern having a longer variation time (in the order of P1 <P2 <P3 in this embodiment) among the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a is less likely to determine a fluctuation pattern having a longer fluctuation time among the normal fluctuation patterns P6 to P8 for outlier reach production (in this embodiment, the order of P6 <P7 <P8).

  In the present embodiment, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P1 to P3, P6 to P8, and P14, the continuous notice effect is executed. The continuous notice effect is a one-time variation game in which a variation cycle is performed once or a plurality of times continuously from the start of the variation display of the ornament symbol until the ornament symbol is temporarily displayed. This is an effect that the possibility of whether or not the jackpot display result is displayed depends on the number of executions of the variable cycle. More specifically, in the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P1 and P6, a continuous notice effect with one variation cycle is executed. In the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P2, P7, P14, a continuous notice effect with two variation cycles is executed. In the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P3 and P8, a continuous notice effect with three variation cycles is executed. In addition, when the symbol variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P1 to P3 and P6 to P8 in which the continuous notice effect is executed (when the reach effect is performed), the longer the effect time specified by the variation pattern is, the larger the hit reliability. Is set to be high. For this reason, in this embodiment, the greater the number of variable cycles during the continuous notice effect, the higher the jackpot reliability.

  In addition, the jackpot determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1549 integers from 0 to 1548) that the random number for the hit determination can take. Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. The number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (40 in this embodiment) is the jackpot determination value in the normal state. Is set to be larger than the number (four in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for winning determination is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games. That is, the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the same as the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27 belongs to. The jackpot determination value is also commonly used in the first variable game and the second variable game. That is, the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination value based on the first special figure start reserved memory number is the same as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination based on the second special figure start hold memory number.

  In addition, the small hit determination value is stored in the ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery for determining whether or not a small hit is made, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 1549 integers from 0 to 1548) that can be taken by a random number for hit determination. Note that the small hit determination value is the first variation game and the second variation game (by the value of the special symbol variation processing flag indicating which of the first variation game and the second variation game is performed). The number is different. Specifically, the number of small hit determination values when the first variable game is played (12 in this embodiment) is the number of small hit determination values when the second variable game is played (this execution) More than 6) in the form. Note that the random number for hit determination is used as it is in the big hit determination. Further, the value of the small hit determination value does not differ depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given and whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given (the same value is determined).

  The RAM 30c stores special figure distribution random numbers used when determining the type of special figure that becomes a big hit symbol when the big hit is determined. In each special figure, this special figure distribution random number is distributed by a predetermined number (one in this embodiment), and the main CPU 30a acquires it when the big hit is determined (when the big hit determination is affirmative). The jackpot symbol is determined based on the special distribution random number. The special CPU distribution random number is set so that the main CPU 30a can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical value range (in the present embodiment, all 100 kinds of integers from “0” to “99”) at predetermined intervals. The value is updated by adding 1 to the value (every 4 ms). Then, the main CPU 30a stores the updated values in the RAM 30c as special figure distribution random number values, and sequentially updates the special figure distribution random number values by rewriting the already stored special figure distribution random number values. It is supposed to be. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random number is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27. Commonly used in two fluctuation games. That is, the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the special distribution random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27. Is the same.

  Note that the jackpot symbol determined by which of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed is one of the symbols A to D and F to H (in the case of the second variation game, the symbol Which group is classified into a to e and h). Specifically, [0] indicating that the first variation game is to be executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag indicating that either the first variation game or the second variation game is to be executed. If it is, it is classified into any group of symbols A to D and F to H. For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the first variation game, a symbol classified as symbol A as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 10/100, and a symbol classified as symbol B is displayed with a probability of 2/100. The symbol classified as symbol C is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and the symbol classified as symbol D is displayed with a probability of 18/100. In addition, a symbol classified as symbol F as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 10/100, a symbol classified as symbol G is displayed with a probability of 32/100, and a symbol classified as symbol H is 25/100. Will be displayed with the probability of.

  Further, when [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be performed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the special symbol variation processing flag is classified into any one of the symbols a to e and h. . For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the second variable game, a symbol classified as symbol a as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 40/100, and a symbol classified as symbol b is displayed with a probability of 7/100. The symbol classified as symbol c is displayed with a probability of 13/100, and the symbol classified as symbol d is displayed with a probability of 12/100. In addition, a symbol classified as symbol e as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and a symbol classified as symbol h is displayed with a probability of 25/100. On the other hand, at the time of determining the small hit (when the big hit determination is negative and the small hit determination is affirmative), a symbol is determined from among the ten types of small hit symbols, and when the loss is determined (at the big hit determination and When the small hit determination is negative), a symbol is determined from one type of missing symbol.

  The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random values) that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the RAM 30c stores a small hit design random number used when determining the type of the special figure that becomes the small hit symbol when determining the small hit. In addition, the RAM 30c stores a random number for assigning a common figure used for determining a type of a common figure that will be a winning symbol when the ordinary game is won.

  The ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the normal hit, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the normal hit determination random number (a total of 251 integers from 0 to 250). Note that the number of normal hit determination values varies depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the number of normal hit determination values when the entrance rate improvement state is assigned (this embodiment) 240) is set to be larger than the number of normal hit determination values in the normal state (30 in this embodiment). The RAM 30c stores a random number for normal hit determination used at the time of normal hit determination. In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination random number is acquired when the game ball passes through the operating gate 23.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. The overall CPU 31a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the general CPU 31a inputs various control commands, the general CPU 31a executes various controls based on the general control program.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. A variable display H2 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). The ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the variable display H2. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.

  The main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. When the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S2). If the determination result of step S2 is negative (first special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a proceeds to step 5.

  If the determination result in step S2 is affirmative (first special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the first special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (1), and the first special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S3). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the first special figure start pending storage. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number is set (step S4).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 27 (step S5). That is, in step S5, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start port sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. If the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special figure start pending storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of 4 (step S6). If the determination result of step S6 is negative (second special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of step S6 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main CPU 30a increments the second special figure start reserved memory number by 1 (one addition), and the second special figure start reserved memory number. Is rewritten (step S7). Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number from the RAM 30c, and stores the values in the second special figure start pending storage. A predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number is set (step S8). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol (special drawing and decoration drawing) is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the big hit game (or the small hit game) is being executed (step S11). When the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main CPU 30a reads the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S12), and determines whether the second special figure start reserved memory number is greater than "0". (Step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure start hold memory number = 0), the main CPU 30a reads the first special figure start hold memory number (step S14), and the first special figure start hold memory is stored. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative (when the first special figure start pending storage number = 0), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect has already been output (step S15). S16). If this determination result is negative (when no demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a outputs a demonstration designation command (step S17). Then, the special symbol start process ends. If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (if a demonstration designation command is output), the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S15 is affirmative (if the first special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a sets the first symbol variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c to the first variation. A value [0] indicating that the game is to be executed is set (step S18). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the first special figure start hold memory number (-1) (step S19), and is associated with the first special figure start hold memory number for a predetermined amount in the RAM 30c. The value of the random number for hit determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the small hit symbol distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S20).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired hit determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549. When the probability change state (when the probability is high), the determination of the jackpot determination The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 40/1549.

  If the determination result in step S21 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (step S22). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the jackpot symbols based on the special symbol based on the acquired special symbol distribution random value (step S23). .

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H0 is classified into one of symbols A to D and F to H. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13 (a), when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “9” is Special jackpot symbols classified as special figure A and corresponding to special figure distributed random numbers “10” to “11” are classified as special figure B and correspond to special figure distributed random numbers “12” to “14”. The special bonus jackpot symbol is classified as special figure C. Further, when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbols of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “15” to “32” are classified into the special figure D, and the special figure distributed random number “ The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “33” to “42” is classified as special symbol F, and the special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to the special symbol distribution random numbers “43” to “74” is classified as the special symbol G. Is done. When displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “75” to “99” is classified into the special figure H. Thereby, in step S23, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol A as a jackpot symbol with a probability of 10/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol B with a probability of 2/100 and is classified as symbol C in step S23. The symbol to be classified as symbol D is determined with a probability of 18/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as the symbol F with a probability of 10/100 and is classified as the symbol G in step S23. The symbol that is classified into the symbol H is determined with a probability of 25/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a specifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for jackpot effect corresponding to the specified jackpot game (step S24). More specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, C, D, and H, the main CPU 30a determines from the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols B, F, and G, the main CPU 30a determines the specific variation pattern P4 for the big hit effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S25). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special figure display H0 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the first special symbol display H0 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S21 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made and a small hit determination (small hit lottery) is performed (step S26). In the present embodiment, the small hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the game is the first variation game (whether or not [0] is set in the special symbol variation processing flag). Yes. Specifically, in the case of the first floating game, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 12/1549, and the small hit determination in the case of the second variable game. Is higher than the probability (6/1549 in this embodiment) that the determination result is affirmative.

  When the determination result of step S26 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S27). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the small hit symbols (symbol I) based on the special symbol based on the acquired small bonus symbol allocation random number. (Step S28). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P5 for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S29). After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S25 and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the display device H0 are controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S26 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S30). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the RAM 30c during the process of step S30 matches the reach determination value. The reach determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery for determining whether or not to perform a reach effect, and is determined from numerical values (a total of 241 integers from 0 to 240) that can be taken by random numbers for reach determination. Yes. Further, the reach determination value is different depending on the gaming state, the first special figure holding memory number, and the special symbol variation processing flag value.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), When the number of one special figure hold memory is “0” “1”, the main CPU 30a affirmatively determines the reach determination with a probability of 34/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number. If “2”, the reach determination is affirmative with a probability of 17/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number. In the case of “3”, the reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 5/241. As described above, the greater the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the more first variable games that are held, the lower the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the faster the digestion of the first variation game held. On the other hand, the smaller the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the fewer the first variable games held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure holding storage number is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the fluctuation time so that the first fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a, regardless of the winning probability of the jackpot determination and the number of first special figure hold memory, Affirmative determination of reach determination with a probability of 10/241. As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that makes it easy for the second variation game to be performed is given, it is possible to suppress the execution of the useless reach reach effect and quickly execute the first variation game that is put on hold. it can.

  If the determination result in step S30 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S31). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect (step S32). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S30 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H0 (step S33). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P9 to P14 for the offending effect (step S34). At this time, the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a differs depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a sets the first special figure reservation storage number to “0” “1”. ”, A variation pattern P12 for a transition effect having a variation time of 12 seconds or a variation pattern P14 for a transition effect having a variation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the first special figure reservation storage number is “2”. A variation pattern P11 for a deviation effect having a variation time of 7 seconds is determined, and when the first special figure holding storage number is “3”, a variation pattern P10 for a variation effect having a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the first variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the more the first variation game being held can be executed more quickly. On the other hand, the smaller the first variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of first special figure holding storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P13 with a variation time of 15 seconds, a variation pattern P11 with a variation of 7 seconds, A variation pattern for the off-stage effect is determined from the variation pattern P9 of 3 seconds. The main CPU 30a selects the fluctuation pattern P13 of 15 seconds with a high probability when the value of the special symbol fluctuation processing flag is “0” and the entrance rate improvement state is given. . As a result, when a state in which the second rate change game is likely to be performed is provided, the time required for winning the game ball at the second start winning opening 27 is increased by increasing the time for change. ing.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S25, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main CPU 30a changes the special symbol variation stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c as shown in FIG. A value [1] indicating that the second variation game is to be executed is set in the processing flag (step S35). Next, the main CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number (-1) (step S36), and is associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number in the RAM 30c. The values of the hit determination random number, special figure distribution random number, and small hit symbol distribution random number stored in the storage area are acquired (step S37).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the hit determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a jackpot determination (big hit lottery). (Step S38). In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549 in the normal state (when the probability is low), and the probability variation state (when the probability is high). The probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 40/1549.

  When the determination result of step S38 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit variation (step S39). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be finalized and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from among the big hit symbols based on the special diagram based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number (step S40). .

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the second special symbol display H1 is classified into one of symbols a to e and h. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13B, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “15” to “27”, “59”, “60”, “ The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “75” to “99” is classified as special figure a. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “10” to “11”, “14”, “28” to “31” It is classified in FIG. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure big numbers corresponding to special figure distribution random numbers “6” to “9”, “43” to “47”, “55” to “58” The symbol is classified as special figure c. In addition, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “32” to “39”, “48” to “50”, “54” The jackpot symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “51” to “53” is classified as the special figure e. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “5”, “12” to “13”, “40” to “42”, “61” to “74”. The special jackpot symbol corresponding to "" is classified as a special figure h.

  As a result, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol a as a jackpot symbol with a probability of 40/100. Similarly, in step S40, the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol b with a probability of 7/100, determines the symbol classified as symbol c with a probability of 13/100, and is classified as symbol d. Is determined with a probability of 12/100. Further, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol e with a probability of 3/100, and determines a symbol classified as the symbol h with a probability of 25/100. As described above, in the first variation game and the second variation game, the jackpot symbols to which the probability variation state is given are different types.

  After the processing of step S40, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines the variation patterns P1 to P4 for the jackpot effect corresponding to the identified jackpot game (step S41). Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines that the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, c, d, e, and h (ie, 15R special probability variable big hit game, step-up big hit game, 15R normal probability variable big hit game. , 15R probability change secret big hit game, 15R normal non-probability change big hit game) is determined from the normal variation patterns P1 to P3 for the big hit effect. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol b (that is, when the jump-up jackpot game is determined), the main CPU 30a determines the specific variation pattern P4 for the jackpot effect.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the second variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing (step). S42). Specifically, the main CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command that designates a variation pattern and instructs the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display H1 so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the final stop symbol. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S38 is negative (not the big hit), the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the small hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b. Determination is made to determine a small hit (lottery lottery) (step S43). In the present embodiment, in the case of the second variation game, the probability that the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative (small hit probability) is 6/1549, and the small variation in the case of the first variation game. It is lower than the hit probability (12/1549).

  When the determination result of step S43 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S44). Then, the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from the small bonus symbols (symbol i) based on the acquired special hit symbol distribution random number. Determine (step S45). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P5 for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game (step S46).

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays a second final symbol display so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of H1 is controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S43 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute a reach effect (step S47). Note that the reach determination value varies depending on the gaming state, the number of reserved memories, and the value of the special symbol variation processing flag. As shown in FIG. 14B, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is not given (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), the main CPU 30a Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability of 241. On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is assigned, the main CPU 30a is assigned the probability variation state (the winning probability of the big hit determination is high probability). ), The reach determination is positively determined with a probability of 7/241. Further, the main CPU 30a, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, and the probability variation state is not given (the winning probability of the big hit determination is low probability) ), The reach determination is affirmed with a probability of 9/241.

  If the determination result in step S47 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S48). . Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect (step S49). Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S47 is negative (when reach determination is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off-line symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S50). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P9 to P14 for the offending effect (step S51). At this time, the variation patterns P9 to P14 for the offending effect are different depending on the number of reserved memories and the presence / absence of the entrance rate improvement state.

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a sets the second special figure reservation storage number to “0” “1”. ”, A variation pattern P12 for a transition effect having a variation time of 12 seconds or a variation pattern P14 for a transition effect having a variation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entry rate improvement state is not given, the main CPU 30a determines that the second special figure reservation storage number is “2”. A variation pattern P11 for a deviation effect having a variation time of 7 seconds is determined, and when the second special figure holding storage number is “3”, a variation pattern P10 for a variation effect having a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the second variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the second variation game being held, the faster the second variation game being held can be executed. On the other hand, the smaller the second variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of second special figure reservation storage numbers is small, it is possible to increase the fluctuation time and earn time for the game ball to win, so that the symbol fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P13 with a variation time of 15 seconds, a variation pattern P11 with a variation of 7 seconds, A variation pattern for the off-stage effect is determined from the variation pattern P9 of 3 seconds. The main CPU 30a selects the 3-second variation pattern P9 with a high probability when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the entrance rate improvement state is given. . As a result, when the entry rate improvement state that facilitates the second variation game is given, the variation time is shortened and the second variation game that is put on hold is executed as soon as possible. Yes.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol moves to the process of step S42, and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol on the second special symbol display H1 based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. Controls the display content of. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be fixedly stopped.

  By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main CPU 30a performs the second variable game. Is executed preferentially. The second start winning opening 27 has the open / close blade 26 open to facilitate the winning of the game ball when the improved winning rate is given, and as a result, the improved winning rate is given. In the probability variation state or the short time state, the second variation game is easily executed continuously. And if the second variation game is a big hit, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that of the first variation game, but when the probability variation state is given, the 15 round big hit game is The ratio of whether or not it is granted is different. In other words, when the distribution of the special figure distribution random numbers is different and the second variable game is a big hit, all the 15 round big hit games are awarded. For this reason, a 15-round jackpot game that can be expected to acquire more game balls than a 2-round jackpot game is a jackpot game with game content advantageous to the player, and the second variable game is a jackpot game. In this case, the probability that the 15-round jackpot game is awarded is higher than that of the first variable game. As described above, in the probability variation state, the second variation game is likely to be continuously executed. When the second variation game is a big hit, 15 rounds of the big variation game are compared with the first variation game. The probability of being granted is high. From this, when the big hits continue in the probability variation state or the short time state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the probability that the prescribed round number of games becomes 15 rounds is high.

  Also, the main CPU 30a makes a hit determination stored as the second start hold ball as compared with the case where the determination is made based on the hit determination random number stored as the first start hold ball (in the case of the first variation game). When the determination is based on the random number for use (in the case of the second variable game), the probability of affirming the small hit determination is made lower. For this reason, in the situation where the state of increasing the entrance rate is given and the second variable game is likely to be played, the possibility that a small hit game that is not expected to be profitable for the player is reduced. In other words, in the state where the entrance rate improvement state is given, the interest of the game can be improved without causing the player to feel stress. Also, after the symbol variation game is executed, if the big prize opening door 28 is opened for 0.32 seconds, the player after the second variation game is more likely to win the jump-up jackpot than the first variation game. It can be expected that a game has been granted.

  When the main CPU 30a determines the big hit (when [1] is set in the big hit flag), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the type of jackpot game specified based on the final stop symbol And a predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a). The control contents executed by the main CPU 30a are as follows: 15R special probability variable jackpot game, jump up jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, 2R normal probability variable jackpot game, 2R special probability variable jackpot game And 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game will be described for each jackpot game.

  First, the control when the 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded will be described. When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (5.5 seconds). Next, when the opening time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and starts measuring the round game time (max 25 seconds). Output an open signal. Thereby, in the pachinko machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened with the start of the first round game. The main CPU 30a outputs a closing signal when the end condition is satisfied in the first round game. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed with the end of the first round game.

  The main CPU 30a having finished the round game of the first round, in order to start the round game of the second round, the interval time (2.0 seconds) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round ), A round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, when the end condition is satisfied in the second round game, the main CPU 30a similarly ends the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time (5.568 seconds). Then, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game after the ending time has elapsed.

  At that time, when the 15R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to “1” and indicates that the entry rate improvement state is imparted. Set the operation flag to “1”. When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Similarly, when the operation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when “0” is set, the entrance rate improvement state is set. Indicates that it has not been granted.

  Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times to the probability variation state giving number indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the probability variation state is given. Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times as the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is given. The number of times of entering the entrance rate improvement state and the number of times the probability variation state is imparted are decremented by 1 every time the symbol variation game is executed. When the value becomes zero, the probability variation flag and the operation flag are cleared ("0" is set) ) In addition, each flag, the probability variation state giving frequency, and the operation frequency are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Further, each flag, the probability variation state grant count and the actuation count are cleared ("0" is set) even when a big hit game is awarded.

  In addition, during the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the main CPU 30a is arranged below the first special figure display H0 and controls to turn on the 15R display lamp L1 indicating that the 15 round big hit game is given ( (See FIG. 2). Further, the main CPU 30a sends a big hit game state signal for notifying that a big hit game is given via the external terminal board 40 from the start of the opening effect of the 15R special probability variable big hit game to the end of the ending effect. Output to an external device.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16, 11 of the eleventh round winning door 28 in the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game, the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, and the 15R normal non-probability variable hit game 11 The opening mode of the grand prize winning door 28 up to the 15th round is the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, in the eleventh round of the step-up jackpot game, the grand opening door with an opening mode T6 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds). 28 is opened and closed 5 times. In addition, as shown in FIG. 16B, in the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game, the release time T8 (0. 32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds). In other words, in the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the release time T8 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) from the 11th round onwards. In this manner, the special winning opening door 28 is opened and closed five times. In other words, the 11th round big win game 28 opening mode of the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game up to the 11th to the 15th round The opening mode of the winning opening door 28 is the same. Therefore, from the eleventh round until the grand prize winning door 28 is opened and closed five times, any of the big hit games of the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game, the step-up big hit game, and the 15R normal probability variable big hit game from the open mode. I can't recognize it.

Next, the normal symbol input process will be described with reference to FIG.
The main CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the operation gate 23 (step S61). That is, in step S61, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not a fourth detection signal output when the gate sensor SE4 detects a game ball is input. If the determination result of step S61 is negative, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process. If the determination result of step S61 is affirmative, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the number of usual charts start pending storage stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit of 4 (step S62). If the determination result of step S62 is negative (the number of ordinary charts start hold storage = 4), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

  If the determination result in step S62 is affirmative (the number of reserved general-purpose drawings on hold <4), the main CPU 30a increments the number of reserved general-purpose charts on hold by 1 (1), and rewrites the number of reserved general-purpose charts on-hold (step S63). . Subsequently, the main CPU 30a reads out and acquires the value of the random number for ordinary hit determination and the value of the random number for normal map allocation from the RAM 30c, and obtains the value in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c associated with the number of reserved memory for general start. (Step S64). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main CPU 30a is configured to execute a normal symbol start process every predetermined cycle.
First, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal chart is being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the normal hit game is being played (step S71). If the determination result in step S71 is affirmative (when the normal game is being played or the normal winning game is being played), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S71 is negative (when the normal game is not being played and the normal hit game is not being played), the main CPU 30a reads the normal start reservation memory number (step S72), and the normal start reservation memory number. Is greater than “0” (step S73).

  When the determination result of step S73 is negative (when the normal figure start hold storage number = 0), the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S73 is affirmative (when the normal figure start hold memory number> 0), the main CPU 30a subtracts “-1” from the number of the general start reservation memory number (−1) (step S74). Then, the value of the random number for determining the normal hit stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c in correspondence with the number of reserved normal start is stored (step S75).

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination (step S76). In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given. In the normal state (when the entrance rate improvement state is not given), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 30/251, and the entrance rate improvement state is When it is given, the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is positive (normal hit probability) is 240/251.

  When the determination result of step S76 is affirmative (in the case of normal hit), the main CPU 30a selects the final stop symbol that is fixedly stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display H10 as the normal symbol hit symbol [1] [2]. (Step S77). In step S77, the main CPU 30a determines a winning symbol [2] (second ordinary symbol) that is advantageous to the player based on the acquired value of the random number assigned to the base symbol at a probability of 1/11, and hits the winning symbol. The winning symbol [1] (first normal symbol) which is more disadvantageous than [2] is determined with a probability of 10/11. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S76 is negative (in the case of a loss), the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol displayed as a fixed stop on the normal symbol display H10 as the normal symbol error symbol [0] ( Step S78).

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a general variation pattern from a plurality of types of general variation patterns (step S79). The normal variation pattern is a normal variation pattern that is determined in the normal state when the entrance rate improvement state is not applied, and an entrance that is determined when the entrance rate improvement state is applied It is categorized into the usual figure fluctuation pattern for the rate improvement state. Furthermore, the normal pattern change pattern for the normal state in the present embodiment is provided with two types of patterns having different change times. Specifically, the first normal pattern fluctuation pattern (second normal symbol fluctuation pattern) having a long fluctuation time of 10000 ms and the second normal figure fluctuation pattern (first of 5000 ms shorter than the fluctuation time of the first normal figure fluctuation pattern). 1 normal symbol variation pattern) is provided. On the other hand, there is only one type of the common map variation pattern for the entrance rate improvement state in the present embodiment, and the variation time is longer than the variation time of either the first general map variation pattern or the second general map variation pattern. It is a 3rd common figure fluctuation pattern in which short time (1000 ms) is set.

  In step S79, the main CPU 30a determines the third general-purpose variation pattern when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and when the entrance rate improvement state is not assigned, Either the normal map variation pattern or the second general map variation pattern is determined. The main CPU 30a determines the first common map variation pattern with a probability of 91/101 and determines the second general map variation pattern with a probability of 10/101 when the entrance rate improvement state is not given. It is like that.

  The main CPU 30a that has determined the normal variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes related to the general game (step S80). Specifically, the main CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 so that the normal symbol starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the usual variation game. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the normal symbol start process, the main CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display H10 to display the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time set in the determined common symbol variation pattern. Control display content.

When determining the normal hit, the main CPU 30a executes the control related to the normal hit game after the normal game based on the determined normal fluctuation pattern.
The main CPU 30a opens the open / close blades 26 three times when the usual game is finished, and when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and opens until 1160 ms elapses after opening each time. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so as to maintain the state.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 30a opens the open / close blade 26 once when the normal game is finished, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given and the normal symbol is [1]. The normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses after the release. Further, the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 once when the entrance game rate improvement state is not given when the normal game is finished and the winning symbol by the normal symbol is [2]. The normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 2500 ms elapses after the release.

  Note that the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls has entered even before the specified time has elapsed since the main CPU 30a opened. Similarly, even if the main CPU 30a has not been opened a predetermined number of times, the main CPU 30a controls the opening / closing blade 26 to be closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 10 balls) has entered.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the normal symbol display device H10 serves as a normal symbol display means for displaying a general game. In addition, the operation gate 23 serves as third starting means for giving a starting condition for the usual game. In addition, the RAM 30c of the main control board 30 serves as a normal symbol hold storage means for storing the number of normal figure start hold memories. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a normal symbol control means for executing the usual game. The main CPU 30a serves as an opening control means for opening the opening / closing blade 26 (opening / closing mechanism).

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing accordingly. Specifically, when the opening CPU, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

  Further, when the central CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation patterns P1, P4 to P6, P9 to P13, the central CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to the control boards 32 to 34. Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation patterns P2, P3, P7, P8, and P14 in which two or more variation cycles are executed in the continuous notice effect, the first variation cycle is performed. At the start, a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P12 is output as a variation pattern for specifying the production contents of the first variation cycle. This is because in the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P2, P3, P7, P8, and P14, the effect content of the first variation cycle is the same as the effect content specified by the variation pattern P12.

  Similarly, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation patterns P3 and P8, the variation pattern P12 is used as a variation pattern for specifying the effect contents of the second variation cycle at the start of the second variation cycle. Outputs the specified variation pattern specification command. This is because in the symbol variation game based on the variation patterns P3 and P8, the effect content of the second variation cycle is the same as the effect content specified by the variation pattern P12.

  On the other hand, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation patterns P2, P7, and P14, at the start of the second variation cycle, the overall CPU 31a specifies the variation pattern for specifying the effect content of the second variation cycle. Then, a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation patterns P2, P7, P14 is output. Note that the variation patterns P2, P7, and P14 of the present embodiment specify only the content of the effect of the second variation cycle. When the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation patterns P3 and P8, the variation pattern P3 is used as a variation pattern for specifying the effect contents of the third variation cycle at the start of the third variation cycle. , P8 to specify a variation pattern designation command. Note that the variation patterns P3 and P8 of the present embodiment specify only the content of the effect of the third variation cycle.

  In this way, when continuous notice effects of a plurality of fluctuation cycles are executed, the contents of the effects of each fluctuation cycle are made common except for the last fluctuation cycle. For this reason, when the fluctuation pattern P2, P3, P7, P8, P14 in which the fluctuation cycle exists twice or more is designated, the general CPU 31a starts the common fluctuation cycle (fluctuation patterns P2, P7, P14). Is specified at the start of the first fluctuation cycle, and when the fluctuation patterns P3 and P8 are specified, the first and second fluctuation cycles are started). A variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern P12 for specifying is output. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs a variation pattern designation command corresponding to each variation pattern in the last variation cycle. Thereby, the memory | storage amount of a fluctuation pattern can be decreased.

  Further, when the overall CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the jackpot that suggests whether or not the jackpot display result in each symbol variation game is displayed based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. A notice pattern for specifying the specific contents of the notice is determined. In the present embodiment, the variation patterns P1 to P3, P6 to P8, and P14 are respectively associated with a plurality of notice patterns (in this embodiment, three patterns) as shown in FIG. One of the performance execution patterns is determined. Specifically, when the variation patterns P1 to P3, P6 to P8, and P14 are determined, the overall CPU 31a selects the notice pattern Ya with a probability of 35%, selects the notice pattern Yb with a probability of 35%, The notice pattern Yc is selected with a probability of 30%. Each of the other variation patterns P4 to P5 and P9 to P13 is associated with a notice pattern, and the overall CPU 31a determines the notice pattern.

  Each notice pattern will be specifically described. The variation patterns P1 to P3, P6 to P8, and P14 are respectively associated with the notice pattern Ya as shown in FIG. In the symbol change game based on the notice pattern Ya, a step-up notice effect for displaying a predetermined display image in stages is executed in each change cycle together with the continuous notice effect. Further, the variation patterns P1 to P3, P6 to P8, and P14 are respectively associated with the notice pattern Yb as shown in FIG. In the symbol change game based on these notice patterns Yb, in addition to the aforementioned continuous notice effect, a continuous number notification effect indicating the number of change cycles of the continuous notice effect is executed in each change cycle. Further, the variation patterns P1 to P14 are respectively associated with the notice pattern Yc as shown in FIG. In the symbol variation game based on these notice patterns Yc, a sound notice effect for outputting sound from the speaker 17 is executed in each change cycle.

  Then, when the general CPU 31a determines the notice pattern, an effect execution pattern that specifies specific contents of the step-up notice effect, the continuous number notice effect, and the sound notice effect is provided for each change cycle based on the decided notice pattern. It comes to decide.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 20A, the general CPU 31a determines the notice pattern Ya for executing the step-up notice effect when the variation patterns P1 to P3, P6 to P8, and P14 are determined. Then, the effect execution pattern D1 is determined as the effect execution pattern for specifying the first-stage display image in the first fluctuation cycle. The general CPU 31a specifies the second stage display image in the second variation cycle when the variation patterns P2 to P3, P7 to P8, and P14 are determined, and when the notice pattern Ya is determined. An execution pattern is determined from among a plurality of performance execution patterns D0 and D2. For example, when the change pattern P2 is determined and the notice pattern Ya is determined, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern D0 as an effect execution pattern for specifying the second-stage display image in the second change cycle. Is determined with a probability of 10%, and the performance execution pattern D2 is determined with a probability of 90%. The overall CPU 31a determines when the change patterns P3 and P8 are determined, and when the notice pattern Ya is determined, the effect execution pattern as an effect execution pattern for specifying the third stage display image in the third change cycle. D3 is determined.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect execution pattern designation command for designating the determined effect execution patterns D0 to D3 to the control boards 32 to 34 for each variation cycle.

  It should be noted that the display contents of the variable display H2 are specified so that a predetermined character image (character K1) is displayed as the first-stage display image during one fluctuation cycle by the effect execution pattern D1. . In addition, the display content of the variable display H2 is displayed so that a predetermined character image (character K1 and character K2) is displayed as a second-stage display image during one fluctuation cycle by the effect execution pattern D2. Identified. In addition, the display content of the variable display H2 is displayed so that a predetermined character image (character K1 to character K3) is displayed as a third-stage display image during one fluctuation cycle by the effect execution pattern D3. Identified. Further, the display contents of the variable display H2 are specified by the effect execution pattern D0 so that the display image at each stage is not displayed during one fluctuation cycle.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), the general CPU 31a determines when the change patterns P1 and P6 are determined and when the notice pattern Yb is determined, the effect specifying the effect contents of the first change cycle. An effect execution pattern D11 is determined as the execution pattern. In addition, when the change pattern P2, P7, P14 is determined, and when the notice pattern Yb is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern D11 as the effect execution pattern for specifying the effect content of the first change cycle. Is determined with a probability of 70%, and the performance execution pattern D12 is determined with a probability of 30%. Further, when the variation pattern P2 for the big hit effect is determined and the notice pattern Yb is determined, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern D11 as an effect execution pattern for specifying the effect contents of the second change cycle. Is determined with a probability of 10%, and the performance execution pattern D12 is determined with a probability of 90%. Further, the general CPU 31a performs the effect execution as the effect execution pattern for specifying the effect contents of the second variation cycle when the variation patterns P7 and P14 for the offending effect are determined and when the notice pattern Yb is determined. The pattern D12 is determined.

  In addition, when the change patterns P3 and P8 are determined and the notice pattern Yb is determined, the overall CPU 31a sets the effect execution pattern D11 as an effect execution pattern for specifying the effect contents of the first change cycle. The effect execution pattern D12 is determined with a probability of 20%, and the effect execution pattern D13 is determined with a probability of 10%. In addition, when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is determined and the notice pattern Yb is determined, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern D11 as the effect execution pattern for specifying the effect content of the second change cycle. Is determined with a probability of 10%, the performance execution pattern D12 is determined with a probability of 70%, and the performance execution pattern D13 is determined with a probability of 20%. In addition, when the variation pattern P3 for the big hit effect is determined and the notice pattern Yb is determined, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern D11 as an effect execution pattern for specifying the effect contents of the third change cycle. Is determined with a probability of 10%, the performance execution pattern D12 is determined with a probability of 10%, and the performance execution pattern D13 is determined with a probability of 80%.

  Further, when the fluctuation pattern P8 for the offending effect is determined and the notice pattern Yb is determined, the overall CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern D11 as an effect execution pattern for specifying the effect contents of the second change cycle. Is determined with a probability of 70%, and the performance execution pattern D12 is determined with a probability of 30%. Further, when the variation pattern P9 for the offending effect is determined, and when the notice pattern Yb is determined, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern D13 as an effect execution pattern for specifying the effect contents of the third change cycle. To decide.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect execution pattern designation command for designating the determined effect execution patterns D11 to D13 to the control boards 32 to 34 for each variation cycle.

  Note that when the variation cycle is executed based on the effect execution pattern D11, the background images of the decoration lamp 16 and the variable display H2 become blue. Further, when the change cycle is executed based on the effect execution pattern D12, the color of the background image of the decoration lamp 16 and the variable display H2 becomes purple. When the change cycle is executed based on the effect execution pattern D13, the background image of the decoration lamp 16 and the variable display H2 becomes red.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG.20 (b), the random number is distributed so that the production | presentation execution pattern D11 may be easily determined as an production | presentation execution pattern of the 1st fluctuation | variation cycle. In addition, a random number is assigned to the effect execution pattern D12 so that the effect execution pattern D12 is easily determined as the effect execution pattern of the second fluctuation cycle. The effect execution pattern D13 is assigned a random number so that it can be easily determined as the effect execution pattern of the third fluctuation cycle. For this reason, it is possible to make the player recognize that the continuous number notification effect based on the effect execution pattern D11 is an effect indicating the first fluctuation cycle. Further, it is possible to make the player recognize that the continuous frequency notification effect based on the effect execution pattern D12 is an effect indicating the second fluctuation cycle. In addition, the player can recognize that the continuous number notification effect based on the effect execution pattern D13 is an effect indicating the third fluctuation cycle.

  Moreover, when the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern from the plurality of effect execution patterns D11 to D13 that specify the effect content of the continuous number notification effect, the change cycle of the continuous notice effect specified by the determined change pattern. The production execution patterns D11 to D13 indicating the number of times equal to or less than the upper limit number of times are determined. For example, when the variation pattern P3 in which the upper limit number of the variation cycle of the continuous notice effect is 3 is determined, the overall CPU 31a is easily determined as the effect execution pattern of the first variation cycle in the third variation cycle. An effect execution pattern D13 may be determined.

  On the other hand, when determining the effect execution pattern from among the plurality of effect execution patterns D11 to D13 that specify the effect content of the continuous number of times notification effect, the overall CPU 31a has the continuous notice effect specified by the determined variation pattern. The production execution patterns D11 to D13 indicating the number of times larger than the upper limit number of the fluctuation cycle are not determined. For example, when the variation pattern P2 in which the upper limit number of the variation cycle of the continuous notice effect is two times is determined, the general CPU 31a is easily determined as the effect execution pattern of the first variation cycle in the third variation cycle. It is not determined from the production execution pattern D13. For this reason, the player can know that at least the continuous notice effect is continuously executed from the content of the effect of the continuous frequency notification effect to the number of times indicated by the continuous frequency notification effect. Then, since the level of jackpot reliability can be known from the number of fluctuation cycles in the continuous notice effect, the player may be able to quickly know the level of jackpot reliability from the effect contents of the continuous number notification effect. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the continuous number notification effect.

  In addition, when the variation pattern P2 to P3 for the jackpot effect is determined, the general CPU 31a determines the effect execution pattern from among the plurality of effect execution patterns D11 to D13. There are cases where the production execution patterns D11 to D13 for specifying the production content of the continuous number notification production showing the number of times less than the number of times are determined. For example, when the variation pattern P3 is determined, the overall CPU 31a is likely to be determined in the first variation cycle as an effect execution pattern of the second variation cycle when the current variation cycle is the second (that is, There is a case where it is determined from the effect execution pattern D11 (indicating the first fluctuation cycle).

  On the other hand, the overall CPU 31a determines an effect execution pattern from among the plurality of effect execution patterns D11 to D13 when the change pattern P7 to P8 for the outlier reach effect or the change pattern P14 for the outage effect is determined. At this time, there is no case in which the effect execution patterns D11 to D13 for specifying the effect content of the continuous frequency notification effect indicating the number of times less than the number of fluctuation cycles in which the continuous frequency notification effect is executed are not determined. For example, when the fluctuation pattern P8 is determined, the overall CPU 31a is likely to be determined in the first fluctuation cycle as the effect execution pattern of the second fluctuation cycle when the current fluctuation cycle is the second time ( That is, it is not determined from the effect execution pattern D11 (which indicates the first fluctuation cycle). For this reason, the player can recognize that the big hit has been confirmed when the continuous number notification effect indicating the number of times smaller than the current number of fluctuation cycles is executed. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the contents of the effect of the number of fluctuation cycles and the continuous number notification effect.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a determines when the variation patterns P1 to P14 are determined, and when the notice pattern Yc is determined, a plurality of effect execution patterns that specify the output sound of the speaker 17 in the first variation cycle (this embodiment). In the form, it is determined from the effect execution patterns D21 to D23 of 3). Further, the general CPU 31a executes the effect of specifying the output sound of the speaker 17 in the second fluctuation cycle when the fluctuation patterns P2 to P3, P7 to P8, and P14 are determined and the notice pattern Yc is determined. A pattern is determined from the plurality of performance execution patterns D21 to D23. In addition, when the change patterns P3 and P8 are determined, and when the notice pattern Yc is determined, the general CPU 31a executes a plurality of effect execution patterns for specifying the output sound of the speaker 17 in the third change cycle. Determined from patterns D21 to D23.

  Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect execution pattern designation command for designating the determined effect execution patterns D21 to D23 to the control boards 32 to 34 for each variation cycle.

  In addition, the output sound of the speaker 17 is specified by the effect execution pattern D21 so that the explosion sound is output from the speaker 17 during one fluctuation cycle. Moreover, the output sound of the speaker 17 is specified so that a bell sound is output from the speaker 17 during one fluctuation cycle by the effect execution pattern D22. Further, the output sound of the speaker 17 is specified by the effect execution pattern D23 such that a gunshot is output from the speaker 17 during one fluctuation cycle.

  As mentioned above, since the execution pattern of the voice notice effect used in the symbol variation game where the continuous notice effect is not performed is also used in the fluctuation cycle when the continuous notice effect is performed, There is no need to provide a notice effect. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the amount of storage and to reduce development effort.

  Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the overall CPU 31a displays the variable display H2 based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The symbol combination by the decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped is determined.

  More specifically, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 15R special probability variable big hit game, the overall CPU 31a recognizes that a 15R special probability variable big hit game is given and a jackpot as a combination of decorative symbols. Possible symbol combinations [777] based on a specific symbol that can be obtained, or a combination of symbols that can be expected to win a large number of prize balls and that a probability variation state may be given and that a jackpot can be recognized ([ 111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [888]).

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a step-up jackpot game, a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, a 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game, or a 15R normal non-probable variable jackpot game, a combination of decorative symbols As a matter of course, a symbol combination of chances is determined. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a jump-up jackpot game, a 2R special probability variation jackpot game, or a 2R normal probability variation jackpot game, the overall CPU 31a designates a symbol combination of probability variation as a symbol pattern combination. To decide. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a small hit symbol, the general CPU 31a selects a symbol combination indicating a probability change in the same manner as in the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game. decide.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier design and the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the outlier reach. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol and the variation patterns P9 to P14 for the offending effect are designated, the overall CPU 31a determines the off symbol combination. Then, the overall CPU 31 a outputs a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design of each column to the display control board 32. Further, when the main CPU 30a inputs an all symbols stop command, the main CPU 30a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

  In addition, when the jackpot game is awarded, the general CPU 31a determines an effect pattern that specifies the specific effect contents of the jackpot game, based on the combination of the designated final stop symbol and the jackpot symbol based on the determined decoration symbol, The effect pattern is output.

  More specifically, if the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 15R special probability variable big hit game and the symbol combination based on the specific symbol is determined as the decorative symbol, the general CPU 31a determines that the 15R special probability variable big hit game An effect pattern in which the game effect indicating that is given is set as the effect content of the big hit game is output. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the 15R special probability variation jackpot game, and the game symbol combination is determined as a decorative symbol, the general CPU 31a determines that the first to tenth rounds An effect pattern having a game effect indicating that a 15R special probability variable jackpot game is awarded in any one of the round games is output as the effect content of the jackpot game.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a step-up jackpot game, a 15R normal probability variable big hit game, a 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, or a 15R normal non-probable big hit game, the general CPU 31 a In the game, an effect pattern is output in which a game effect suggesting whether or not a probable change state is given after the jackpot game ends is set as the effect content of the jackpot game.

  In addition, the general CPU 31a suggests that a probability variation state may be given if the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to a 2R special probability variable big hit game or a 2R normal probability variable big hit game. A production pattern whose production is the content of the big hit game is output. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol corresponding to the jump-up jackpot game, the general CPU 31a executes a game effect having the same content as the effect content of the 2R special probability variable jackpot game, and then the probability change state. The effect pattern which makes the game effect which shows that is awarded to the effect content of a jackpot game is output.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a outputs an effect pattern in which a game effect having the same content as the effect content of the 2R special probability variable big hit game is used as the effect content of the small hit game.

  In addition, when the variation pattern P2, P3, P7, P8, P14 in which the number of variation cycles in the continuous notice effect is specified by the input variation pattern designation command is designated by the general CPU 31a, the first variation cycle is designated. The combination of decorative symbols to be temporarily stopped is determined. At this time, the overall CPU 31a determines, as the symbol combination of the first variation cycle, the symbol combination of the chance that suggests the possibility of the variation cycle continuing from the out-of-sequence symbol combinations. When determining the symbol combination of the chance, the overall CPU 31a of the present embodiment determines the symbol combination of the final chance that the execution of the next fluctuation cycle is fixed and the strong that indicates that the next fluctuation cycle is executed with a high probability. It is determined from either a symbol combination of chances or a symbol combination of weak chances indicating that the next fluctuation cycle is executed with a low probability. The overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the strong chance among the three types of symbol combinations of the three chances with the highest probability, and then determines the symbol combination of the weak chance with the high probability. It is supposed to be. On the other hand, the overall CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the final chance with the lowest probability.

  The symbol combination of the determined chance is a symbol combination that is not selected as a symbol combination that is confirmed and stopped on the variable display H2 at the end of the symbol variation game. In this embodiment, [ 357] and [375] are the symbol combinations of the final chance. In addition, the symbol combination of the strong chance is set so that the possibility of being selected as a symbol combination that is displayed on the variable display H2 at the end of the symbol variation game is determined to be low, and the weak chance item is displayed. It is set to be more likely to be selected than the symbol combination. In the present embodiment, [337] and [377] are symbol combinations of strong chances. The symbol pattern of the weak chance is set so as to increase the possibility that the symbol combination of the weak chance is selected as a symbol combination that is confirmed and stopped on the variable display H2 at the end of the symbol variation game. It is set to be less likely to be selected than the combination. In this embodiment, [227] and [447] are symbol combinations of weak chances.

  The overall CPU 31a determines which type of chance combination is to be displayed among the combination of symbols of the fixed chance, the combination of symbols of the strong chance, and the combination of symbols of the weak chance, and then the chance of the determined type The symbol combination for the chance is determined from the symbol combinations classified as the eye symbol combination.

  For this reason, for example, when the symbol combination [337] of the strong chance is displayed, the player expects that the fluctuation cycle will continue. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs to the display control board 32 a first continuation symbol designation command that designates the determined symbol combination as a symbol combination that is temporarily stopped and displayed at the end of the first fluctuation cycle.

  Similarly, when the variation pattern P3 or P8 in which the number of variation cycles in the continuous notice effect is specified by the input variation pattern designation command is designated by the overall CPU 31a, the overall CPU 31a is temporarily stopped and displayed in the second variation cycle. Determine the symbol combination of the decorative symbols. At this time, when the effect execution pattern D0 is not determined as the effect execution pattern of the second fluctuation cycle, the overall CPU 31a uses the symbol combination of the chance among the symbol combinations of the outliers as the symbol combination of the second change cycle. Is to decide. On the other hand, when the production execution pattern D0 is determined as the production execution pattern of the second fluctuation cycle, the overall CPU 31a, as the symbol combination of the second fluctuation cycle, other than the symbol combination of the chance of the out of symbol combinations The symbol combination that is out of place or the symbol combination of the weak chance is determined. Then, the overall CPU 31a outputs to the display control board 32 a second continuation symbol designating command that designates the determined symbol combination as a symbol combination that is temporarily stopped at the end of the second fluctuation cycle.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the display of the variable display H2 is displayed so that the decorative symbols are variably displayed with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol combination game. Control the content. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the symbol combination designated by the inputted decoration design designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. By this control, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs an effect execution pattern designation command for each variation cycle, the sub CPU 32a causes the variable display device H2 to execute various effects with the effect contents designated by the effect execution pattern designation command. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the first continuation symbol designation command or the second continuation symbol designation command during the variation cycle, the first continuation symbol designation command or the second continuation symbol designation inputted at the end of the variation cycle. Control is performed so that the symbol combination designated by the designation command is temporarily stopped and displayed on the variable display H2.

  In addition, when the opening command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the opening effect is executed based on the effect pattern that specifies the effect content of the big hit game determined by the overall CPU 31a. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs a round command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute each round effect based on the effect pattern specifying the effect content of the big hit game determined by the general CPU 31a.

  Further, when the ending command is input, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the ending effect is executed based on the effect pattern that specifies the effect content of the big hit game determined by the overall CPU 31a. At this time, if the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the jump up big hit game or the step-up big hit game is given, the sub CPU 32a notifies that the probability changed state is given. ing. Further, the sub-CPU 32a is configured to notify that there is a possibility that a probability variation state is provided when a 15R probability variation concealment big hit game or a 15R normal non-probability variable big hit game is granted. Thereby, in the variable display H2, an opening effect, a round effect, and an ending effect are each performed.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sub CPU 32a serves as a notice effect display means for displaying a notice effect. The main control board 30 is a main control device that controls the entire gaming machine. The overall control board 31 is a sub-control device that executes various controls based on control signals from the main control board 30. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a big hit determining means for determining a big hit. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as a variation pattern determining unit that determines a variation pattern. Further, the main CPU 30a serves as an output means for outputting a fluctuation pattern designation command. Further, the overall CPU 31a serves as an effect control means for controlling the sub CPU 32a by outputting a control command.

  Next, an effect aspect of the continuous notice effect and an effect aspect of the step-up notice effect will be described. FIG. 21 is a screen transition diagram showing the display content of the variable display H2 when the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P3 is executed. In FIG. 21, description will be made assuming that the notice pattern Ya is determined and the effect execution pattern D0 is determined in the second variation cycle.

  When the symbol variation game is started and the first variation cycle is started, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the first-stage display image based on the effect execution pattern D1. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the character K1 while executing the fluctuation cycle (see FIG. 21A). Further, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the chance designated by the first continuation symbol designation command at the end of the first fluctuation cycle (see FIG. 21B). Thereby, it can be made to expect a player that a change cycle may continue.

  When the second variation cycle is started, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as not to display the display image at each stage based on the effect execution pattern D0. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the decorative drawing in a variable manner without displaying the character (see FIG. 21C). For this reason, it is possible to make the player think that the symbol variation game has ended in one variation cycle without the variation cycle being executed. Further, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays a symbol combination that is not a chance symbol combination designated by the second continuation symbol designation command at the end of the second fluctuation cycle (see FIG. 21D).

  Next, when the third fluctuation cycle is started, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the display image of the third stage based on the effect execution pattern D3. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the characters K1 to K3 while executing the fluctuation cycle (see FIG. 21E). For this reason, the player is made to recognize that the continuous notice effect has been continued and to recognize that the symbol variation game having a large upper limit number of variation cycles having a high jackpot reliability is being executed (three times). Can do. Therefore, the player can be expected to have a big hit.

  Then, during the third variation cycle, the sub CPU 32a executes a reach effect based on the variation pattern P3 (see FIG. 21 (f)), and at the end of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P3, The designated jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and stopped (see FIG. 21G). Thereby, even if the player performs the continuous notice effect with the number of change cycles of one and subsequently executes the symbol change game in which the step-up notice effect is not executed, the continuous notice effect continues. It can be expected that there is.

  FIG. 22 is a screen transition diagram showing the display content of the variable display H2 when the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P2 is executed. In FIG. 22, it is assumed that the notice pattern Ya is determined and the effect execution pattern D0 is determined in the second variation cycle.

  When the symbol variation game is executed and the first variation cycle is started, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the first stage display image based on the effect execution pattern D1. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the character K1 while displaying the fluctuation cycle (see FIG. 22A). Further, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the chance designated by the first continuation symbol designation command at the end of the first fluctuation cycle (see FIG. 22B). Thereby, it can be made to expect a player that a change cycle may continue.

  When the second variation cycle is started, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as not to display the display image at each stage based on the effect execution pattern D0. Thereby, the variable display H2 displays the decorative drawing in a variable manner without displaying the character (see FIG. 22C). For this reason, it is possible to make the player think that the symbol variation game has ended in one variation cycle without the variation cycle being executed.

  Then, during the second variation cycle, the sub CPU 32a executes a reach effect based on the variation pattern P2 (see FIG. 22 (d)), and at the end of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P2, using a decorative symbol designation command. The designated jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and stopped (see FIG. 22 (e)). As a result, the player executes the continuous notice effect with the number of change cycles of one based on the change pattern P6 for the outlier reach effect, and then executes the symbol change game in which the step-up notice effect is not executed. Even in such a case, it is possible to make the player expect that the continuous notice effect will continue. In addition, an unexpected reach production and a jackpot symbol combination can be displayed to the player, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  Next, an effect aspect of the continuous notice effect and an effect aspect of the continuous frequency notification effect will be described. FIG. 23 is a time chart showing changes in the color of the background image of the variable display H2 when the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P3 is executed. In FIG. 23, the notice pattern Yb is determined, the effect execution pattern D13 is determined in the first variation cycle, the effect execution pattern D12 is determined in the second variation cycle, and D12 is determined in the third variation cycle. It will be described as being done.

  When the symbol variation game is started and the first variation cycle is started (time point T101), the sub CPU 32a variably displays the background image of the variable display H2 in red based on the effect execution pattern D13 based on the premise. The display content of the device H2 is controlled. As a result, the variable display H2 executes the fluctuation cycle in a state where the background image is red. Therefore, the player sees the continuous number notification effect indicating the third variation cycle (that is, seeing that the background image is red), and the upper limit number of variation cycles in the continuous notice effect is three times. It can be recognized in advance, and it can be recognized that the big hit reliability is high. Further, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the chance designated by the first continuation symbol designation command at the end of the first fluctuation cycle (time T102).

  When the second fluctuation cycle is started (time T103), the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the background image of the variable display H2 is purple based on the effect execution pattern D12. To do. Thereby, the variable display H2 performs a fluctuation cycle in a state where the background image is purple. Further, the sub CPU 32a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the chance designated by the second continuation symbol designation command at the end of the second fluctuation cycle (time T104).

  Next, when the third fluctuation cycle is started (time T105), the sub CPU 32a displays the display content of the variable display H2 so that the background image of the variable display H2 is purple based on the effect execution pattern D12 based on the premise. To control. Thereby, the variable display H2 performs a fluctuation cycle in a state where the background image is purple. When the symbol variation game is out of play, the continuous number notification effect indicating the number of times smaller than the current variation cycle is not executed, so that the player continues the second variation cycle during the third variation cycle. It can be recognized that the symbol variation game is a big hit because the number-of-times notification effect is executed.

  Then, during the third variation cycle, the sub CPU 32a executes a reach effect based on the variation pattern P3 (time T106), and at the end of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P3, the big hit designated by the decorative symbol designation command The symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop (time T107).

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The general CPU 31a determines the notice pattern Ya during the continuous notice effect that causes a plurality of fluctuation cycles to be executed, and when the big hit reliability is low (variation patterns P2, P7, and P14 having a small upper limit number of fluctuation cycles are decided In the case where the display image (character) is determined in a stepwise manner in a fluctuation cycle up to a predetermined number of times (first time). In this case, the general CPU 31a may end the stepwise display of the display image in the step-up notice effect before all the fluctuation cycles are ended.

  On the other hand, when the notice pattern Ya is determined, during the continuous notice effect in which a plurality of fluctuation cycles are executed, when the big hit reliability is high (when the fluctuation patterns P3 and P8 having a large upper limit number of fluctuation cycles are determined), The overall CPU 31a displays a display image determined in advance for each variation cycle step by step in all the variation cycles. Alternatively, the overall CPU 31a interrupts the display of the display image (character) that has been displayed step by step for each variation cycle in the first or a plurality of variation cycles (second time in the present embodiment), and the variation after the suspension. The display image (character) in the step-up notice effect is displayed stepwise again in the cycle (the third and subsequent fluctuation cycles). For this reason, even if the stepwise display of the display image (character) in the step-up notice effect is interrupted during the continuous notice effect, the display image is displayed again in the subsequent fluctuation cycle, and the continuous notice effect continues. It can be expected to be a big hit. In particular, even when the stepwise display of the display image in the step-up notice effect is terminated before the variation pattern P14 is determined and all the variation cycles are completed, the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern P14 is terminated. At the time of executing the next symbol variation game, it is possible to make the player think that the continuous notice effect will continue, and to make the player expect. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved.

  (2) In the step-up notice effect, the display image displayed for each stage is determined in advance, and by viewing the display image in the step-up notice effect, the current number of stages, that is, the number of fluctuation cycles can be recognized. It has become. For this reason, even if the stepwise display of the display image in the step-up notice effect is temporarily interrupted and then the stepwise display is resumed, the player can determine the display image at what step (that is, the fluctuation cycle). Number of times) can be easily recognized.

  (3) The overall CPU 31a is a predetermined symbol combination among the out-of-order symbol combinations at the end of each variation cycle excluding the variation cycle based on the performance execution pattern D0 and the last variation cycle during the continuous notice effect. Then, the symbol combination of the chance that suggests the possibility of continuing the fluctuation cycle is temporarily stopped. Accordingly, the player can recognize that the continuous notice effect continues at the end of each change cycle. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the symbols that are temporarily stopped and displayed in each variation cycle.

  (4) On the other hand, the overall CPU 31a, during the continuous notice effect, at the end of the change cycle based on the effect execution pattern D0, the symbol combination [227] [447] with a low chance that the change cycle is unlikely to continue, or A symbol combination other than the chance symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed. For this reason, it is possible to make the player think that the continuous notice effect has ended, and it is possible to conceal that the continuous notice effect has continued. Thereby, even if the continuous notice effect is actually ended, it is possible to make the player expect the continuous notice effect to be continued. Further, when the change cycle is started and the display image is displayed again, the player can be further surprised and delighted, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  (5) When the general CPU 31a executes the step-up notice effect, the overall CPU 31a determines the number of fluctuation cycles until the display of the display image that has been displayed stepwise for each fluctuation cycle in the symbol fluctuation game with high jackpot reliability is interrupted. When the symbol variation game in which the continuous notice effect with the upper limit number of times is executed is lost, the display image may be displayed step by step during the continuous notice effect until the upper limit number is reached. That is, in the symbol variation game when the jackpot reliability is low (based on variation patterns P1 and P6), the upper limit number of variation cycles during the continuous notice effect is based on the case where the big hit reliability is high (based on variation patterns P3 and P8). ) In the symbol variation game, the number of variation cycles until the display image displayed in stages is interrupted is the same. Thereby, it cannot be determined from the number of fluctuation cycles whether or not the continuous notice effect has ended. For this reason, it is possible to make the player expect that the fluctuation cycle will be performed again (continuous notice effect will continue).

  (6) When the general CPU 31a determines the notice pattern Yb, when each variable cycle is executed during the continuous notice effect, the continuous number of times indicating the number of times less than or equal to the upper limit number of variable cycles executed in the continuous notice effect. The notification effect is executed. Therefore, the player may be able to recognize when the continuous notice effect ends from the continuous number notification effect, and recognize in advance which change cycle the display result of the symbol variable game is displayed. May be possible. Further, when the notice pattern Yb is determined, since the notification effect of the continuous number is executed in each fluctuation cycle, it becomes possible to know which fluctuation cycle starts and ends in which fluctuation cycle. You can see how many cycles you have and how much you expect to win. Moreover, since the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles of the continuous number notification effect may be suggested, the expectation degree to the big hit can be known from the content of the continuous number notification effect, and the continuous number notification effect can be noted. Therefore, it is possible to focus on the continuous notice effect by suggesting how long the fluctuation cycle will continue during the continuous notice effect, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (7) When the symbol variation game is a big hit, the overall CPU 31a can execute a continuous number notification effect indicating the number of times that the current variation cycle is not more than the number of continuous executions in each variation cycle. On the other hand, when the symbol variation game is lost, the overall CPU 31a executes a continuous number notification effect indicating the number of continuous executions of the current variation cycle in each variation cycle. For this reason, when the number of times equal to or less than the current continuous execution number is shown in the continuous number notification effect, it is understood that the symbol variation game is a big hit. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the continuous number notification effect and the current number of fluctuation cycles, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (8) During the continuous notice effect, the general CPU 31a can easily execute the continuous number notification effect indicating the number of continuous executions of the current variable cycle in each variable cycle. For this reason, the player can confirm the current number of fluctuation cycles by viewing the production contents of the continuous number notification effect in principle.

  (9) The overall CPU 31a changes the color of the background image of the variable display H2 to execute a continuous number notification effect indicating the number of fluctuation cycles. For this reason, it is easy for the player to recognize the contents of the effect of the continuous number notification effect. Further, the overall CPU 31a changes the emission color of the decorative lamp 16 in the same manner as the color of the background image of the variable display H2, thereby executing a continuous number notification effect indicating the number of fluctuation cycles. For this reason, it is possible for the player to recognize the contents of the effect of the continuous number notification effect more reliably.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, when the normal symbol [2] is derived among the winning symbols in the general game, the second is more than when the normal symbol [1] is derived. The opening time of the start winning opening 27 is made longer, but it may be the same.

In the above embodiment, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given, a plurality of types of variation times of the usual game are provided, but one type may be used.
In the first variation game of the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot is won may be changed other than the 2R special probability variable jackpot game and the 2R normal probability variable jackpot game.

  In the second variation game of the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game that is awarded when the jackpot is won may be changed other than the 15R normal non-probability variable jackpot game and the 15R probability variable concealment jackpot game.

-In the said embodiment, when it is a big hit, you may make it not give a jump-up big hit game.
In the above embodiment, two types of symbol variation games, the first variation game and the second variation game, are executed. In this case, both the game balls won in the first start winning opening 25 and the second starting winning opening 27 are detected in the same manner, and the number of reserved memories is made common.

  -In the above embodiment, after the 15R normal non-probability big hit game and the 15R probability change secret big hit game, the number of symbol variable games to which the rate of increase in the winning rate is given is the same in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game and the 15R normal variable big hit game. If it is, you may change to arbitrary numbers (for example, 50 times etc.).

  -In the above embodiment, if the opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 in the small hit game is the same as the big winning opening door 28 in the two round big hit game, the big prize opening door 28 in the two round big hit game The opening time may be changed.

In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made in the first variable game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game may not be given.
In the above embodiment, when a big hit is made in the second variable game, a 2R special probability variable big hit game and a 2R normal probability variable big hit game may be given. At this time, the allocation of the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game needs to be smaller than that in the first variable game.

-In the above-mentioned embodiment, when it is a big hit in the 1st change game, you may make it give 15R probability change secret big hit game.
In the above embodiment, the winning probability of the small hit determination in the first variable game and the winning probability of the small hit determination in the second variable game may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the winning probability of the small hit determination in the first variable game may be the same as the winning probability of the small hit determination in the second variable game.

  In the above embodiment, the rate at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the second variable game is higher than the rate at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the first variable game. You may do it. For example, the ratio at which the jump-up jackpot game is determined in the first variable game and the second variable game may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the external terminal board 40 may arbitrarily change the timing at which the jackpot gaming state signal is output to the outside of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the external terminal board 40 may output a big hit game state signal at the end of the big hit game, or may output at the start of the big hit game.

  -In the said embodiment, you may perform the suggestion effect which shows that a probability variation state is provided by the 11th round. In addition, since it is possible to recognize whether or not a step-up jackpot game has been granted from the opening / closing mode of the big winning door 28 in the eleventh round, it is suggested that the suggestion effect be executed by the eleventh round. Attention can also be paid to the execution of the production. Further, in the 15R probability variation concealment jackpot game, it is necessary to restrict execution of the suggestion effect and conceal the probability variation state.

  In the above embodiment, when a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded, a special notification effect indicating that a 15R special probability variable big hit game is awarded may be executed by the eleventh round. In this way, the special notification effect is executed by executing the special notification effect until the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability change secret big hit game, the 15R normal probability change big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probability variable hit game is recognized. Can attract attention.

  -In the eleventh round game of the step-up jackpot game of the above embodiment, the grand prize opening door 28 is opened six times so that game balls can win up to the maximum number of balls entered. Normally, it may be opened only five times so that it cannot be judged as a probable big hit game.

  In the first round game of the jump-up jackpot game of the above embodiment, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened three times so that game balls can win up to the maximum number of balls entered. In order to make it impossible to determine that the game is a big hit game in a round, it may be opened only twice.

  In the above embodiment, when assigning the probability variation state, the number of times the probability variation state is imparted is set to 10,000, but the number may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it may be 5000 times. Further, a probable state may be given until the next big hit without setting an upper limit.

  -When the reach effect is performed in the symbol variation game, the overall CPU 31a of the above embodiment may execute a continuous notice effect with an upper limit number of times of 2 or more. For this reason, when the continuous frequency notification effect continues two or more times, it can be recognized that the reach effect is executed.

  In the above embodiment, when displaying the display image of the step-up notice effect that is displayed step by step for each change cycle during the continuous notice effect, the general CPU 31a executes a notification effect indicating that the change cycle has been executed. You may do it. In this case, when the general CPU 31a does not display the display image of the step-up notice effect in the variation cycle based on the effect execution pattern D0, it is necessary not to execute the notification effect.

  In the above embodiment, during the continuous notice effect, at the end of each fluctuation cycle except for the last fluctuation cycle, the symbol combination of the chance indicating that the fluctuation cycle continues is temporarily stopped. If so, any out of symbol combination may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, during the continuous notice effect, a symbol combination of strong chances indicating that the change cycle is likely to continue in the change cycle based on the effect execution pattern D0 may be displayed.

In the above-described embodiment, the continuous number notification effect and the voice notice effect are configured to be executable.
Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.

  (A) In the above gaming machine, the notice effect display means is configured so that, during the continuous notice effect, at the end of each variable cycle except for the last variable cycle, a predetermined symbol out of the symbols different from the jackpot symbol and the reach symbol is determined. In this case, the chance symbol indicating that the fluctuation cycle continues may be temporarily stopped and displayed.

  (B) In the gaming machine, the notice effect display means is configured to facilitate execution of a continuous number notification effect indicating the number of continuous executions of the current fluctuation cycle in each fluctuation cycle during the continuous notice effect. You may do it.

  (C) In the above gaming machine, the notice effect display means may execute a continuous number notification effect indicating the number of fluctuation cycles by changing the display color of the display means.
