Description

  The present invention releases a winning means that allows a game ball to enter after the symbol variation game is completed when a predetermined jackpot display result is displayed in a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbols. The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a big hit game composed of round games is performed.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine which is a kind of gaming machine, a random number for determining a big hit is obtained when a gaming ball enters a start winning opening arranged on the gaming board, and the value of the random number is determined in advance. Depending on whether or not the big hit determination value matches, the big hit lottery of whether or not the big hit is done. In addition, the lottery result of the big hit lottery is derived by executing a symbol variation game in which symbols of a plurality of columns are varied and displayed. In the symbol variation game, the player can recognize the jackpot if it is a jackpot symbol that has been finally stopped.

  Generally, in a pachinko gaming machine, there is a gaming machine that executes a “hit-decision effect” that allows the player to recognize that the big hit symbol is a big hit before the fixed stop display is displayed (see Patent Document 1). ). In the pachinko machine of Patent Document 1, the reach effect to be executed can be specified from the effect content of the notice effect, and the content of the effect is different from the reach effect expected to be executed with the effect content of the notice effect. When the reach production is executed, it can be recognized that it is a big hit.

  By the way, in the case of a gaming machine having a probability variation big hit game to which a probability variation state in which the probability of a big hit after the big hit game ends is higher than normal and a non-probability big hit game to which a probability variation state is not given after the big hit game ends, When the non-probability big hit game is awarded during the probability variation state, the probability variation state does not continue. That is, the player in the probability variation state has a sense of crisis that the probability variation state is ended (not continued) by giving the non-probability variation big hit game. Then, during the probability variation state, the player is given a non-probability large hit game without being given the non-probability big hit game and ends the probability variation state. I want to have a sense of expectation. That is, when the “big hit finalizing effect” as in Patent Document 1 is executed and the non-probable big hit game is given, there is a possibility that the interest of the player is lowered.

  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 make the player recognize that there is no sense of crisis that the gaming state will not be in the certainty state, suggesting that the certainty state will continue in the certainty state. .

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that an execution of an effect of displaying a symbol variation game that is performed by varying a plurality of types of symbols when a winning ball is detected by a winning detection means. And when a predetermined jackpot display result is displayed in the symbol variation game, in a gaming machine to which a jackpot game in which the special winning means is opened and closed is given, at the start of the symbol variation game, A jackpot determining means for determining whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit, and a positive change in which the winning probability of the big hit determination is changed to a higher probability than the normal state after the big hit game is finished if the determination result of the jackpot determining means is affirmative Probability change determining means for determining whether or not a state is to be given, and if the determination result of the probability change determination means is affirmative, a probability change for giving a probability change state as a gaming state after the big hit game is over And a variation pattern determining unit that determines a variation pattern capable of specifying the effect of the symbol variation game based on the determination result of the big hit determination unit and the determination result of the probability variation determination unit from a plurality of types of variation patterns. In the symbol variation game in the probability variation state, after execution of the symbol variation game, it is determined whether or not to execute a notice effect that suggests that the probability variation state is given or continued , and the execution When the determination result of determination is affirmative, the execution of the notice effect is determined, while when the result of determination of execution is negative, the notice determination means for determining non-execution of the notice effect, and the notice determination If the determination result of the means is affirmative, an effect control means for causing the effect executing means to execute a notice effect is provided, and the variation pattern determining means is positive if the determination result of the jackpot determining means is positive If the determination result of the probability variation determination means is affirmative, the probability variation jackpot effect for specifying the probability content including the first effect content indicating that the probability variation state is surely given or continued is specified. A second variation pattern for a probable big hit effect that specifies production contents including a first variation pattern or a second production content indicating that a normal state may be given is determined, and the determination result of the jackpot determination means is If the determination result of the probability variation determination means is negative in the case of affirmation, a second variation pattern for the non-probability variation big hit effect specifying the content of the effect including the second effect content is determined, and the jackpot determination means If the determination result is negative, the first fluctuation pattern for the offending effect specifying the effect content including the first effect content, or the second fluctuation pattern for the offending effect specifying the effect content including the second effect content. And the advance notice determining means determines that the advance notice without performing the execution determination when the change pattern determining means determines the first change pattern for a probable big hit effect or the first change pattern for an outlier effect. While determining that the effect is not executed, when the variation pattern determining means determines the second variation pattern for the probable big hit effect or the second variation pattern for the off-stage effect, the execution determination is performed and While the execution determination is affirmed and it is determined that the notice effect is to be executed, the execution determination is performed and the execution is performed when the variation pattern determining means determines the second variation pattern for the non- probable variation big hit effect. The gist is to make a negative determination and decide not to execute the notice effect.

The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein when the result of determination by the jackpot determining means is affirmative, the special jackpot game having a long opening time of the special winning means is compared with the special jackpot game. Among the shortened big hit games with a short opening time of the special winning means, the big hit game determining means for determining whether or not to grant a big hit game, and the symbol variation in which the determination result of the big hit determination means is affirmed A jackpot game granting means for granting a jackpot game determined by the jackpot game determining means after the game is over, and the probability change determining means according to the jackpot game determined by the jackpot game determining means; adapted to determine whether to grant, wherein the shortening jackpot gaming, while the probability variation determining means comprises a negative determining jackpot gaming, the special jackpot game The probability variation determination means is summarized as to include a positive determining jackpot gaming.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, when the fluctuation pattern determining means is not in the probability variation state, the determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative and the probability variation is when the determination result of the determination means is positive, while determining the second variation pattern of the probability variation big hit first variation pattern for presentation, or probability variation big hit for directing, when the determination result of the jackpot determination means is negative, for off effect The first change pattern is determined, and the notice determining means determines to execute the notice effect when the change pattern determining means determines the second change pattern for the probability change big hit effect when the probability change state is not in effect. to one, first fluctuation pattern for directing out said variation pattern determining means, or when determining the first variation pattern probability variation big hit for directing, does not execute the prediction effect this And summarized in that determining.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to cause the player to recognize that there is no sense of crisis that the gaming state is no longer the probability variation state by suggesting that the probability variation state continues in the probability variation state.

Yes.

Next, the configuration of the game board YB will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
On the front surface of the game board YB, a guide rail 26 that guides a game ball launched by operating the launch handle 24 and forms a substantially circular game area H1 that is the main body of a pachinko game is laid in a circular spiral shape. Yes. With this guide rail 26, a game ball guide path 26 a extending from the lower left to the upper left of the game board YB is formed on the game board YB, and a game area H 1 is formed inside the guide rail 26. . Further, the outside of the game area H1 that is the front surface of the game board YB and outside the guide rail 26 is a non-game area H2 that is not directly involved in the pachinko game.

  At almost the center (center) of the game area H1 of the game board YB, a display frame body (center accessory) 27 with various displays and various decorations is mounted. A set port 27a that opens in a rectangular shape when viewed from the front is formed substantially at the center of the display frame 27. The display frame 27 has a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH in alignment with the set port 27a. An effect display device 28 is mounted as display means and effect execution means. The effect display device 28 includes a symbol variation game that is performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and various display effects (game effects) that are executed in association with the symbol variation game. Is displayed as an image. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 28, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 28 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects. The display frame 27 is equipped with a panel lamp portion 27b that produces a light emission effect by light emission.

  A special symbol display device 30 as a display means is provided at the lower left of the display frame 27. The special symbol display device 30 is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED type light emitting device. The special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) whether or not the big hit.

  In the effect display device 28 and the special symbol display device 30, the variation of the symbols (special symbol and decorative symbol) is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game. Specifically, along with the start of the symbol variation game, the special symbol display device 30 starts the variation of the special symbol, while the effect display device 28 starts the variation of the decorative symbol of each column. Then, on the effect display device 28 and the special symbol display device 30, based on the lottery result of the big hit lottery, the big hit symbol (big hit display result) or the off symbol (outlier display result) is determined deterministically at the end of the symbol variation game. Stopped display. At this time, in the special symbol display device 30 and the effect display device 28, when the lottery result of the big hit lottery is a big hit, the big hit symbol is definitely stopped and displayed on any display device (definite stop display), and the big hit lottery If the lottery result is out of place, the out-of-place symbol is displayed on any of the display devices. The jackpot symbol is a symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is a big hit, and the off symbol is a symbol that is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game when the lottery result of the jackpot lottery is missing. It is what is done.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol display device 30 selects one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the jackpot lottery from among a plurality of special figures (101 kinds in this embodiment), and the selected special figure is selected. The figure is individually displayed with a fixed stop when the symbol variation game ends. The 101 types of special symbols are classified into 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and one type of outlier symbol that can recognize a jackpot. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is given a jackpot game.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 28 has 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 effect display device 28 is configured with a display area larger than that of the special symbol display device 30, and the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special symbol. . For this reason, the player can recognize a big hit or a loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 28. When the symbols of all columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 28 are of the same type, the big hit 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 (hit symbol) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device 28 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are of a different type from the symbols of the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [757] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize this detachment becomes a detachable symbol combination (decoration symbol) by the decorative drawing. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination ([181] [212] [323] [434] [545] [656] [767] [878] in this embodiment) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, It can be recognized that a jackpot game may be awarded. The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of jackpot determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in each column in the effect display device 28, when the symbol variation game is started, the ornament symbols are variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). Then, when the symbol variation game starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as seen from the player side in the effect display device 28 The decorative drawings are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols. When the left symbol and the right symbol that are once 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 temporarily displayed in the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) ) Is a state in which the decorative drawing is variably displayed. The symbol combination which can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative drawing. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column where the decorative drawing is first temporarily stopped and displayed is the first stop symbol row, and then the right where the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed. The row becomes the second stop symbol row, and finally, the middle row that temporarily displays the decorative drawing is the third stop symbol row.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the display area (image display surface) of the effect display device 28 is formed larger than the display area of the special symbol display device 30, and the effect display device 28 is conspicuous in front of the player. Are arranged as follows. For this reason, the player pays attention to the display content of the effect display device 28 in which a display effect (for example, reach effect or notice effect) is performed with various images in front of his / her own eyes than the special symbol display device 30. A big hit or loss is recognized from the symbol combination derived and displayed in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 28.

  A normal symbol display device 31 is provided at the lower right of the display frame 27. The normal symbol display device 31 is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED type light emitting device. In the normal symbol display device 31, an internal lottery (winning lottery) of whether or not to make a hit separately from the big hitting lottery of whether or not the big hit (whether or not the lower start winning opening 34 is opened by the opening operation of the opening and closing blade 35). The lottery result is displayed. In the normal symbol display device 31 of this embodiment, when the winning is determined by the winning lottery, the winning symbol is determined and stopped in the normal symbol changing game, while the shift is determined in the winning lottery. In such a case, in the normal symbol variation game, the shift symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state.

  Further, in the game area H1 below the display frame 27, there are an upper start winning port 33 having a game ball entrance 33a and a lower start winning port 34 having a game ball entrance 34a as winning detection means. They are arranged in the vertical direction. The upper start winning opening 33 is configured such that the entrance 33a is always open so as to allow the entrance of game balls at all times. On the other hand, the lower start winning opening 34 is an ordinary electric accessory, and includes an opening / closing blade 35 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) (not shown). The entrance 34a is configured to be open so as to allow entry of a sphere. In other words, the lower start winning opening 34 is configured to make it impossible to enter a game ball unless the opening / closing blade 35 is opened to open the entrance 34a.

  An upper start switch SW1 (shown in FIG. 4) for detecting a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the upper start winning port 33, and a ball has been inserted in the back of the lower start winning port 34. A lower start port switch SW2 (shown in FIG. 4) for detecting a game ball is provided. The upper start winning opening 33 and the lower start winning opening 34 can provide a start condition for the symbol variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of winning balls by detecting the game balls that have entered. When the opening and closing blades 35 are opened, the lower start winning opening 34 is made in a state in which the entrance is expanded and the game ball can easily enter, while when the opening and closing blades 35 are closed, the entrance is not expanded and the game ball It is assumed that it is impossible to enter the ball.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a large winning as a special winning means is provided below the lower start winning opening 34, which includes a large winning opening door 40 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.) not shown. A mouth 41 is provided. Behind the big winning opening 41 is provided a count switch SW3 for detecting a game ball entered. When the big hit game is generated, the big prize opening 41 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 40 and the game ball can be entered, so that the player has a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. Can be obtained. The jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by the internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game.

  The big hit game is determined after the big win symbol is determined by internal lottery, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game, and the symbol variation game ends. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the big prize opening 41 is opened by the opening operation of the big prize opening door 40 is performed a plurality of times with a predetermined round number (the upper limit number of round games) as an upper limit. One round game is based on the condition that either a predetermined round game time elapses after the round game starts or a predetermined maximum number of game balls enter. finish. The big hit game ends with an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game after the end of the predetermined number of round games. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a big hit game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “16” or “2” is awarded.

  Further, a normal symbol operation gate 42 is disposed in the game area H1 on the left side of the display frame 27. A normal symbol variation switch SW4 (shown in FIG. 4) for detecting a game ball that has entered and passed through the normal symbol operating gate 42 is provided at the back of the normal symbol operating gate 42. The normal symbol operation gate 42 can give only the starting condition of the normal symbol variation game when the game ball passes.

  In addition, in the lowermost part of the game area H1 of the game board YB (below the big winning opening 41), game balls that have been launched into the gaming area H1 and have not entered any of the winning openings are set as out balls. An out-bulb opening 43 for discharging outside the machine is formed. The game balls that have passed through the out ball opening 43 are discharged to an out ball tank (not shown) disposed in the installation facility (game island) of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) that the lottery probability (winning probability) of the jackpot after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of the jackpot symbol (special figure) that has been confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol This is a function that gives a probability variation state that varies from a normal probability to a high probability. If a probable change state is given, the probability of winning a lottery fluctuates with a high probability, and it is easy for a big hit to occur, so the probabilistic state is advantageous to the player, and the player expects that the probable change will be a promising big hit. It is carried out. 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. In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shortened, and the normal symbol variation game lottery probability (winning probability) based on the passage of the normal symbol operation gate 42 is low. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state that varies from probability to high probability is given as a privilege. The opening / closing blades 35 of the lower start winning opening 34 have different operation patterns when winning in the normal symbol variation game depending on whether the winning rate improvement state is given or not. Open and close. When the normal symbol variation game is won in the normal state, the open / close blade 35 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 100 ms elapses after the open. In addition, when the normal symbol variation game is won when the entrance rate is improved, the number of times the opening and closing blades 35 are opened increases (for example, 3 times), and 1400 ms (normal state) after the opening in one opening. The open state is maintained until a long time) elapses. That is, the opening / closing blade 35 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player than when the normal state is applied when the entrance rate improvement state is applied.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. That is, the probability variation state is given until the end of the symbol variation game in which the next big hit occurs. Also, in this embodiment, the entrance rate improvement state is the type of probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that is a probability variation big hit was played (in this embodiment, the entrance rate improvement state Whether or not it is given is determined.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a function of shortening the fluctuation time (hereinafter, referred to as “time reduction”). The time-shortening function is a function for giving a winning rate improvement state as a privilege with a low winning probability (winning probability) after winning the big hit game as a bonus (normal state). In addition, when the short-time state is given, the probability of winning a jackpot is low, but the improved entrance rate state is given as a privilege. In other words, the opening / closing blade 35 is set so as to operate more advantageously for the player when the short-time state is applied than when the normal state is applied. The time-saving state is given until a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. That is, the time-short state is given until the end of the symbol variation game corresponding to a predetermined number of times, or until the end of the symbol variation game in which a big hit occurs before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state may be given after the big hit game ends.

Hereinafter, the jackpot game defined in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail based on FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one kind of big hit game is determined from the three types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. . Of the three types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In this embodiment, 100 types of special symbol jackpot symbols are classified into three types: special symbol A, special symbol B, and special symbol C, as shown in FIG.

  The special symbol A has 70 types of jackpot symbols, the special symbol B has 10 types of jackpot symbols, and the special symbol C has 20 types of jackpot symbols. When the special symbols are distributed in this way, the jackpot game based on the special symbol A becomes 70% (70/100) of the total jackpot. The jackpot game based on the special symbol B is 10% (10/100) of the entire jackpot, and the jackpot game based on the special symbol C is 20% (20/100) of the entire jackpot.

  The jackpot game based on the special symbol A has a specified number of rounds of “16” and the jackpot 41 is opened “1 time” during one round game, thereby opening the jackpot “16 times” during the jackpot game. (16 rounds x 1) "It is a big hit game to be released. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the special symbol A is referred to as “16R jackpot game”. The 16R jackpot game is performed by opening the jackpot 41, and after the jackpot game is finished, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state until the end of the probability change state. It is to be granted. That is, in the present embodiment, in the 16R jackpot game, the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are granted during the maximum grant period of the probability variation state (until the next jackpot game is awarded). In the 16R big hit game, “8000 ms” is set as the opening effect time, “25000 ms” is set as the round game time of each round game, and “11000 ms” is set as the ending effect time. In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 16R big hit game is set to “8 balls”.

  In the big hit game based on the special symbol B, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the big prize opening 41 is opened “1 time” during one round game, so that the big prize opening 41 is set to “2” during the big hit game. The game is a big hit game that is released once (2 rounds x 1). Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the special symbol B is referred to as “2R probability variable jackpot game”. The 2R probability variation jackpot game is performed by opening the big prize winning opening 41, and depending on the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery, a probability variation state and a state where the winning rate is improved are given after the jackpot game ends, and the jackpot game In some cases, only the probable state is given after completion. Specifically, if a winning rate improvement state is not granted at the time of winning the big hit lottery, a probable state is granted after the big hit game is finished, but as a result, the winning rate improvement state is not granted, so only the probable state is given. (The entry rate improvement state is given 0 times). That is, in the present embodiment, in the 2R probability variable big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, only the probability changed state is given during the maximum grant period of the probability changed state. ing. On the other hand, in 2R probability variation big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the maximum grant of the probability variation state up to the next big hit game is granted While given during the period, it is given during the maximum grant period in the short time state where the entrance rate improvement state has an upper limit of 100 times.

  In the big hit game based on the special symbol C, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”, and the big prize opening 41 is opened “1 time” during one round game, so that the big prize opening 41 is set to “2” during the big hit game. The game is a big hit game that is released once (2 rounds x 1). Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the special symbol C is referred to as a “2R non-probable variable jackpot game”. The 2R non-probability big hit game is performed by opening the big winning opening 41, so that whether or not a short time state (that is, a state in which the winning rate is improved) is given depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. It has become. Specifically, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the short time state (entry rate improving state) is not given after the big hit game ends. That is, in the present embodiment, in the 2R non-probability variable big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is not given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, neither the probable change state nor the winning rate improved state is given. . On the other hand, if a winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, a short time state (entry rate improving state) is given after the big hit game ends. That is, in the present embodiment, in 2R non-probability big hit game, if the winning rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the shorter time state (entry rate improving state) is shorter than 100 times. It is given during the maximum grant period of the state (entrance rate improvement state).

  In the 2R non-probable big hit game, “4 ms” is set as the opening time, “600 ms” is set as the round game time of one round game, and “2092 ms” is set as the ending time. In addition, the interval time between rounds (inter-round interval) in the 2R non-probable big hit game is set to “1000 ms”, and the final opening interval time (time from the end of the final round to the start of ending) is “ 1000 ms ". In addition, the upper limit number of balls for one round game in the 2R non-probability big hit game is set to “8 balls”.

  That is, the opening time, round game time, and ending time in the 2R non-probable big hit game are set to the same time as the opening time, round game time, and ending time of the 2R probable big hit game, respectively. The opening mode of the big prize opening door 40 in the 2R probability variation big hit game is the same as the opening mode of the big prize opening door 40 in the 2R non-probability big hit game.

  For this reason, it is not possible to determine which of the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game has been awarded based on the opening state of the grand prize opening door 40, the opening time, the round game time, and the ending time. It has become. Similarly, depending on the game state at the time of winning the big hit and whether or not the improved entry rate state is given after the end of the big hit game, the 2R positive change big hit game and the 2R non-probable change are not given. It is impossible to determine which of the big hit games has been awarded. That is, when the entrance rate improvement state is not given after the big hit game is finished, it is impossible to determine whether or not the probability change state is given after the 2R probability change big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game is finished. Further, when the entrance rate improvement state is given after the big hit game is finished, it is impossible to determine whether or not the probability change state is given after the 2R probability change big hit game and the 2R non-probability big hit game are finished.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. However, the round game time (600 ms) of 2R probable big hit game and 2R non-probable big hit game is the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 41 in one round game, The time is set so as not to satisfy. Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, since the number of game balls to be fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to fire one game ball is “600 ms”. In other words, in each round game of 2R non-probable big hit game, it is practically impossible to launch and enter “8 balls”, which is the upper limit number of balls entered, within the round game time (600 ms). is there.

Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 45 as a main control device for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 45 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 and performs arithmetic processing of control signals (control commands) as various control commands for controlling the game according to the processing results. The control signal (control command) is output. In addition, a sub-integrated control board 46, an effect display control board 47, and an audio / lamp control board 48 are mounted on the rear side of the machine.

  The sub integrated control board 46 comprehensively controls the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 45. The effect display control board 47 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 28 based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 45 and the sub control board 46. To do. Further, the sound / lamp control board 48 emits light (lights (flashes) / lights off) of the various lamp units 17 to 19 and 27b based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 45 and the sub control board 46. And the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speakers 20, 21, 25 are controlled.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 45, the sub general control board 46, and the effect display control board 47 will be described.
The main control board 45 has a main control CPU 45a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 45b for storing a control program for the main control CPU 45a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A main control RAM 45c is provided. A main control ROM 45b and a main control RAM 45c are connected to the main control CPU 45a. Further, the main control CPU 45a has an upper start switch SW1 that detects a game ball that has entered the upper start prize opening 33 and a lower start port SW2 that detects a game ball that has entered the lower start prize opening 34. It is connected. The main control CPU 45a is connected to a count switch SW3 that detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 41 and a normal symbol variation switch SW4 that detects a game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operation gate 42. . Also, a special symbol display device 30 and a normal symbol display device 31 are connected to the main control CPU 45a via a symbol display board 49. The symbol display board 49 is mounted at a position corresponding to the special symbol display device 30 and the normal symbol display device 31, respectively. The control signal output from the main control board 45 is input, and the special symbol display device 30 and the normal symbol display device 30 The display content of the symbol display device 31 is controlled.

  The main control CPU 45a updates the values of various random numbers such as the big hit determination random numbers and the big hit symbol random numbers every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 45c. The value before update is rewritten. The main control CPU 45a is equipped with a timer function and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The main control RAM 45c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  A main control program for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored in the main control ROM 45b. In addition to the main control program, a plurality of types of variation patterns are stored in the main control ROM 45b. The variation pattern is displayed after the symbol variation game is started by the symbol variation start on the effect display device 28 and the special symbol display device 30, and the symbol is confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 28 and the special symbol display device 30. It shows a pattern that is a base of a game effect (display effect, light emission effect, sound effect) until the end of the variable game. 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. Then, the variation patterns are classified for each variation content consisting of a jackpot effect, a loss reach effect, and a loss effect.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation patterns are a fluctuation pattern P1 for an outlier effect (for an effect without an outlier reach) and a fluctuation pattern P2 for an outlier reach effect, which are selected in the case of a loss that is not won in the big win lottery. There is P3. Further, the variation patterns include variation patterns P4 to P6 for a big hit effect selected when the big hit lottery is won. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the types of variation patterns that can be selected based on whether or not the gaming state is giving the entrance rate improvement state are different. A variation pattern in a specific production mode (probability variation mode) is shown. FIG. 5 shows a part of the variation pattern stored in the main control ROM 45b in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. Actually, in addition to the variation pattern shown in FIG. Each selected variation pattern is different. In the present embodiment, the description will focus on variation patterns that can be selected during the specific performance mode shown in FIG. 5 through the description of the present embodiment. The production mode will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the variation pattern for the big hit effect includes variation patterns P4 and P5 selected when the 16R big hit game is determined. The variation pattern for the big hit effect includes a variation pattern P6 that is selected when a 2R probability variable big hit game or a 2R non-probable variable big hit game is determined. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the 2R probability variable big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game is determined, the same variation pattern P6 is selected, and the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game Have the same content (same variation time).

  Note that the outlier effect performed based on the variation pattern P1 is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the final symbol combination is finally displayed without stopping through the reach effect. Further, the outlier reach effect performed based on the variation patterns P2 and P3 is an effect developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect and finally the symbol combination of deviation. The jackpot effect performed based on the variation patterns P4 and P5 is a jackpot effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally reaches the symbol combination of the jackpot through the reach effect. The jackpot effect that is performed based on the variation pattern P6 is a jackpot effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally subjected to the reach effect, and finally the symbol combination that suggests the probable change is displayed in a fixed stop state. The reach effect is a symbol combination in the symbol change game using the decorative pattern of the effect display device 28, and finally a symbol combination (a jackpot symbol combination, a symbol combination that suggests a probable change, or a symbol combination that is out of place). This is an effect that is performed until is derived. Further, in the special symbol display device 30, when the symbol variation game is started, the symbol variation is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect. Further, the off-line effect performed based on the fluctuation pattern P1 for off-line effect varies after the start of the symbol variation game according to a predetermined variation stop order (for example, left column → right column → middle column). This is an effect that stops symbols and derives symbols in each column.

  The main control ROM 45b stores a big hit determination value. The jackpot determination value includes a determination value used in the jackpot determination, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number. For example, if the numbers that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number are set to 1600 integers from “0 (zero)” to “1599” and four values are set as the jackpot determination value, The rate at which the determination result of determination is affirmative, that is, the jackpot winning probability is 4/1600 (1/400). Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs between the normal state and the probability variation state, and the number of jackpot determination values is larger in the probability variation state. For example, in the normal state (non-probability changing state), when four values can be taken as the jackpot determination value, in the probability changing state, 40 values can be taken as the jackpot determination value. As a result, in the probability variation state, the winning probability in the big hit determination becomes high.

Next, the sub general control board 46 will be described.
On the sub-general control board 46, an overall control CPU 46a capable of executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 46b for storing a control program for the overall control CPU 46a, and writing and reading of necessary data An overall control RAM 46c is provided. A general control ROM 46b and a general control RAM 46c are connected to the general control CPU 46a. The overall control CPU 46a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing for starting the symbol variation game). In addition to the control program, the overall control ROM 46b stores various tables to be referred to when determining various effects.

Next, the effect display control board 47 will be described.
On the effect display control board 47, a display control CPU 47a capable of executing a control operation in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 47b for storing a control program for the display control CPU 47a, and writing and reading of necessary data. A display control RAM 47c is provided. An effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) is connected to the display control CPU 47a. Further, the display control CPU 47a of the present embodiment has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The display control ROM 47b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, characters, etc.). In the present embodiment, the display control CPU 47a functions as an effect control means.

  Hereinafter, the contents of control executed by the main control board 45, the sub general control board 46, and the effect display control board 47 will be described. First, as control contents executed by the main control board 45, the sub control board 46, and the effect display control board 47, control contents related to the execution of the symbol variation game will be described.

  The main control CPU 45a of the main control board 45 inputs a detection signal output by the start port switches SW1 and SW2 that detect the game ball when the game ball enters the upper start winning port 33 or the lower start winning port 34. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved symbols for special symbols stored in the main control RAM 45c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (the number of reserved memories for special symbols <4), the main control CPU 45a adds 1 to the number of reserved memories for special symbols (+1), and sets the number of reserved memories for special symbols. rewrite. If the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 45a acquires the value of the big hit determination random number and the value of the big hit symbol random number from the main control RAM 45c, and acquires the acquired value of the big hit determination random number Are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 45c in association with the number of reserved symbols for special symbols. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (holding memory count = 4), the main control CPU 45a does not rewrite the reserved memory count for the special symbol exceeding the upper limit, and Do not get the value of the random number for the jackpot symbol.

  When the main control CPU 45a is not in the big hit game and the symbol variation game is not being executed, the value of the big hit determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 45c immediately before the start of the symbol variation game. Is read. Then, the read jackpot determination random number value is compared with the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 45b to determine whether or not the jackpot is a big hit (hit lottery). When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (the value of the random number for big hit determination matches the big hit determination value), the main control CPU 45a determines the big hit. The main control CPU 45a which has determined the big hit determines the big hit symbol (special symbol) to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol variation game executed by the special symbol display device 30 based on the value of the random number for the big hit symbol. As shown in FIG. 3, the special symbol jackpot symbol is assigned to each type of jackpot game, and therefore the type of jackpot game to be given to the player is determined by determining the jackpot symbol.

  The main control CPU 45a that has determined the jackpot symbol stores the determined jackpot symbol in the main control RAM 45c. Further, the main control CPU 45a which has determined the big hit selects and determines the fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation patterns for the big hit effect. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 45a determines the variation pattern P4 as the variation pattern for the big hit effect or the variation pattern when determining the special symbol A as the big hit symbol during the specific production mode (probability variation mode). Select P5. On the other hand, when the special symbols B and C are determined as the jackpot symbol, the variation pattern P6 is selected as the variation pattern for the jackpot effect.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (the value of the big hit determination random number and the big hit determination value do not match), the main control CPU 45a determines the deviation. Then, the main control CPU 45a which has determined the disengagement determines a dissatisfied symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display device 30. In addition, the main control CPU 45a which has determined the detachment determines whether or not to execute the detachment effect by random lottery. When this determination result is affirmative (execution of the reaper reach effect is executed), the main control CPU 45a acquires the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 45c and corresponds to the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution. The variation pattern to be selected is selected from the variation patterns for the reach reach production and determined. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 45a changes as a variation pattern for an outlier reach effect when determining an outlier design and executing an outlier reach effect during a specific effect mode (probability variation mode). The pattern P2 or the fluctuation pattern P3 is selected.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of whether or not to execute the outlier reach effect is negative (does not execute the outlier reach effect), the main control CPU 45a acquires the value of the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 45c, The variation pattern corresponding to the value of the variation pattern distribution random number is selected from the variation patterns for the off-stage production and determined. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 45a determines the outlier design during the specific effect mode (probability change mode) and does not determine the execution of the outlier reach effect as the change pattern for the outlier effect. Select P1.

  The main control CPU 45a that has determined the special symbol and the variation pattern outputs a predetermined control command to the sub overall control board 46 (overall control CPU 46a) at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 45a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game. Next, the main control CPU 45a outputs a special symbol stop designating command for designating the special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 45a outputs a symbol stop command for instructing the end of the symbol variation game (determination of symbol determination) when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed. In addition, the main control CPU 45a subtracts 1 (-1) from the reserved memory number for the special symbol at the start of the symbol variation game, and rewrites the reserved memory number for the special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 45a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 30 with the start of the symbol variation game. That is, the main control CPU 45a starts the variation of the special symbol by starting the symbol variation game, and confirms the special symbol (big hit symbol or missing symbol) determined when the variation time set in the determined variation pattern has elapsed. Stop display. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 45a functions as a jackpot determining means, a variation pattern determining means, a jackpot game determining means, a jackpot game giving means, a probability change determining means, and a probability change giving means.

Next, the sub general control board 46 will be described.
When the variation control designation command is input, the overall control CPU 46a of the sub-general control board 46 specifies the specific display effect contents of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designation command. Then, a display pattern designation command for instructing the contents of the display effect is output to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. Further, when a stop symbol designating command for a special symbol is input, the overall control CPU 46a, when a big hit symbol is designated by the stop symbol designating command, comprehensively controls the jackpot symbol of the designated special symbol. This is stored in the RAM 46c.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a performs symbol variation executed by the effect display device 28 from the type of variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the type of stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the stop symbol designation command. The combination of decorative symbols to be derived in the game is determined. The overall control CPU 46a designates a variation pattern for a big hit effect, and if the designated special symbol is a big hit symbol corresponding to a 16R big hit game, the decorative symbol constituting the symbol combination to be finally stopped and displayed. The jackpot symbol combination ([111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [777] [888]) is determined.

  Also, the overall control CPU 46a, when the special symbol designated by the input special symbol stop symbol designation command is a big hit symbol corresponding to 2R probability variable big hit game or 2R non-probable big hit game, the symbol combination of the decorative symbols As shown in FIG. As described above, in the present embodiment, in the case of the 2R probability variable big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game, only the symbol combination suggesting the probability change can be determined. For this reason, in the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game, the mode of the big hit game is set to the same mode, and the display mode is displayed not only from the game mode but also in the case where the application mode of the improved entrance rate is the same mode. From the display contents of the device 28, the player cannot recognize which of the big hit games is given.

  Further, the overall control CPU 46a finally designates the stop when the change pattern for the outreach effect or the outage effect is specified by the input change pattern designation command, and the special symbol stop symbol designation is the off symbol design. The combination of symbols to be displayed is determined. At this time, if a variation pattern for producing an outlier reach is designated, a symbol combination for the outlier reach is determined. Then, the overall control CPU 46 a that has determined the decorative symbol outputs a stop symbol designation command for the decorative symbol that designates the decorative symbol to the effect display control board 47. When the overall control CPU 46 a inputs a symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 46 a outputs the command to the effect display control board 47. Then, since the one symbol variation game is finished, the overall control CPU 46a shifts to processing related to execution of the next symbol variation game.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured such that a probability change notification mode effect (hereinafter, referred to as “probability change mode”) for notifying the player that the game state is a probability change state can be executed by the effect display device 28. Has been. In the present embodiment, a chance mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “CH mode”) for notifying the player that the game state can be expected to be in a probabilistic state is executed on the effect display device 28. It is configured as possible. In addition, a normal mode effect (hereinafter referred to as “normal mode”) for notifying the player that there is a high possibility that the game state is not likely to be a probability change state when neither the probability change mode nor the CH mode is selected. The effect display device 28 is configured to be executable. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, during the stay in the normal mode, the game state is actually a secret state that does not let the player know whether or not it is in the probability variation state, so the gaming state may be in the probability variation state. Is not completely absent. Further, in the present embodiment, by causing the effect display device 28 to execute various types of various mode effects having different display modes, the effect mode currently staying depending on the display mode (display effect) of the effect display device 28 is displayed. Let the player know the type. And it is alert | reported whether it can have expectation with respect to being in a probable variation state, or it is alert | reported that it is in a probable variation state by production mode.

  The probability variation mode is an effect (mode) that is executed before the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state are both granted a big hit game. In other words, the probability variation mode is an effect mode that can shift to the 16R big hit game as a trigger. Further, the CH mode is an effect (mode) that is executed while the entrance rate improvement state with the upper limit of 100 times is given. That is, the CH mode is an effect mode that can be triggered by 2R probability variable big hit game and 2R non-probable big hit game, and the big hit game is used as an opportunity to improve the entrance rate (the improved entrance rate state). It is a production mode that can be shifted to the case of winning during grant). Note that, in the CH mode, there are both a random variation state and a non-probability variation state (normal state). The normal mode is an effect (mode) that is executed while the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Note that, in the normal mode, there are both a lottery state of a probability variation state and a non-probability variation state.

Next, transition modes of various modes as the game progresses will be described.
If you win a 16R jackpot game (a jackpot game based on the special symbol A), no matter which effect mode (probability mode, CH mode, or normal mode) you are in at the time of winning, you will move to the probability variation mode. It has become. In other words, as in the case of a 16R big hit game, when the probability change state and the entry rate improvement state are given regardless of the game state at the time of winning, the probability change notifying that the game state after the end of the big hit game is the probability change state. The probability change mode is executed by the effect display device 28 so as to be in the notification state. The probability variation mode is given when the next symbol variation game is started after the end of the 16R big hit game. That is, the overall control CPU 46a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the start of the probability change mode to each of the control boards 47 and 48 when the 16R big hit game ends. As a result, the effect display device 28 notifies the player of that effect by executing the effect mode in the probability variation mode.

  In addition, when staying in the probability variation mode, if the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game is won, the mode is shifted to the CH mode. While staying in the probability variation mode to which the entrance rate improvement state is granted, after the end of the 2R probability variation big hit game or after the end of the 2R non-probability big hit game, at least the upper limit number of time-short states will be the upper limit number of times It is to be granted. For this reason, whether or not the gaming state is in a probabilistic state from the operation mode of the opening / closing blade 35 until the time when at least 100 symbol variation games have elapsed since the end of the 2R probable big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game. Can not be recognized by the player. That is, when the player cannot recognize whether or not the gaming state is a probable change state, such as a 2R probabilistic big hit game and a 2R non-probable big hit game, the game state after the end of the big hit game is a probable state. The effect display device 28 is made to execute the CH mode so as to be in a probability-variation concealment state informing that there is a certain expectation. The overall control CPU 46a outputs to each of the control boards 47 and 48 a mode designation command for instructing the start of the CH mode when the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game ends while staying in the probability variation mode. As a result, the effect display device 28 notifies the player of that effect by executing the effect mode in the CH mode.

  In addition, when the 2R probability variable big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game is won while staying in the CH mode, the CH mode is continued. While staying in the CH mode where the entrance rate improvement state is granted, the entrance rate improvement state is always given continuously in any case after the 2R probability variation big hit game or 2R non-probability big hit game ends. It has become. For this reason, the player recognizes whether or not the gaming state is the probability variation state from the operation mode of the opening and closing blades 35 after the transition from the probability variation mode to the CH mode until at least 100 symbol variation games have elapsed. It is not possible. The overall control CPU 46a outputs to each of the control boards 47 and 48 a mode designation command for instructing the start of the CH mode when the 2R probability change big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game during the CH mode stays. As a result, the effect display device 28 notifies the player to that effect by continuing the effect mode in the CH mode.

  Further, the CH mode shifts to the normal mode on condition that the gaming state shifts from a state where the entrance rate improvement state is given to a state where the entrance rate improvement state is not given. . For example, if you win 2R probable big hit game or 2R non-probable big hit game in the 30th symbol variation game after shifting to CH mode, you will enter the game with the end of the 100th symbol variation game from that win When the provision of the rate improvement state is finished, the mode is changed to the normal mode. That is, when the player is still unable to recognize whether or not the game state is a probabilistic state so that the entrance rate improvement state is ended during the stay in the CH mode, Even if it exists, it will be in the probability change concealment state which can have an expectation that the game state after the end of these big hit games is a probability change state. The overall control CPU 46a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the start of the normal mode to each of the control boards 47 and 48 with the end of the application of the entrance rate improvement state during the CH mode stay. As a result, the effect display device 28 notifies the player of that effect by executing the effect mode in the normal mode. In addition, when 2R probability variation big hit game or 2R non-probability big hit game is given during the stay in the normal mode, the entry rate improvement state is not given, and the normal mode is continued as it is.

Next, the effect display control board 47 will be described.
The display control CPU 47a of the effect display control board 47, when receiving the display pattern designation command output from the overall control CPU 46a, executes the specific display effect contents of the symbol variation game designated by the display pattern designation command. The display content of the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) is controlled. In addition, when the display control CPU 47a receives the symbol stop command output from the overall control CPU 46a, the effect display device displays the symbol combination of the decorative symbols instructed by the symbol stop command as the display result of the symbol variation game. The display content of 28 (image display part GH) is controlled. Further, when the display control CPU 47a inputs the mode designation command output from the overall control CPU 46a, the display content of the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) is executed so as to execute the effect mode instructed by the mode specification command. To control. For example, when the display control CPU 47a inputs a mode specifying command for instructing the probability change mode, an image or a character that allows the player to recognize that the probability change mode is displayed.

Next, as control contents executed by the main control board 45, the sub general control board 46, and the effect display control board 47, control contents related to the execution of the big hit game will be described.
The main control CPU 45a of the main control board 45 grants a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game as a big hit effect. At this time, the main control CPU 45a identifies the type of jackpot game to be given from the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) determined immediately before the start of the symbol variation game that will be the jackpot effect, and according to the identified jackpot game Execute control.

  Then, when the determined special symbol is the special symbol A corresponding to the 16R big hit game, the main control CPU 45a first causes the opening effect to be executed. Then, after the opening effect ends, the main control CPU 45a causes 16 round games to be executed. In these jackpot games, a single prize opening (in this embodiment, the big prize opening 41) is opened once in one round game. The round game time of one round game, that is, the opening time of the special winning opening 41 is set to “25000 ms” as shown in FIG. Further, when the main control CPU 45a opens the big winning opening 41 to start the round game, it determines whether or not the round game time has elapsed and the game of the prescribed number of balls (8 balls in this embodiment). It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. Further, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round opening designation command indicating the number of started round games to the sub general control board 46 at the start of the round game. Then, if either of the main control CPUs 45 makes an affirmative determination, the round winning game 41 is closed and the round game is ended because the round game end condition is satisfied. At this time, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round closing designation command.

  The main control CPU 45a that has finished one round game, after the elapse of the interval time between rounds (2100 ms in this embodiment), opens the special winning opening 41 to start the next round game. When the 16 round games are completed, the main control CPU 45a executes an ending process to execute an ending effect.

  Further, the main control CPU 45a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted in the ending process when the big hit game based on the special symbol A is imparted, and improves the entrance rate improvement state. “1” is set to the operation flag indicating that the Then, the number of operations indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is given is not set.

  Further, when the determined special symbol is the special symbol B corresponding to the 2R probability variation big hit game, and the special symbol C corresponding to the 2R non-probable big hit game, the main control CPU 45a first causes the opening effect to be executed. Then, after the opening effect ends, the main control CPU 45a executes two round games. In these jackpot games, a single prize opening (in this embodiment, the big prize opening 41) is opened once in one round game. Then, the round game time of one round game, that is, the opening time of the special winning opening 41 is set to “600 ms” as shown in FIG. Further, when the main control CPU 45a opens the big winning opening 41 to start the round game, it determines whether or not the round game time has elapsed and the game of the prescribed number of balls (8 balls in this embodiment). It is determined whether or not a ball has entered. Further, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round opening designation command indicating the number of started round games to the sub general control board 46 at the start of the round game. Then, if either of the main control CPUs 45 makes an affirmative determination, the round winning game 41 is closed and the round game is ended because the round game end condition is satisfied. At this time, the main control CPU 45a outputs a round closing designation command.

  The main control CPU 45a that has finished one round game, after the interval time between rounds (in this embodiment, 1000 ms) elapses, opens the big winning opening 41 to start the next round game. When the two round games are finished, the main control CPU 45a executes an ending process to execute an ending effect.

  Further, when the big hit game based on the special symbol B is given and the entry rate improvement state is given in the ending process, the main control CPU 45a adds an entry flag indicating that the entry rate improvement state is given to “ “1” is set, and “1” is set to a probability variation flag indicating that a probability variation state is to be provided. Further, when “1” is set in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be given, the main control CPU 45a sets the operation count indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is assigned. Set 100 times. Further, when the big hit game based on the special symbol B is given and the entry rate improvement state is not given in the ending process, the main control CPU 45a adds an operation flag indicating that the entry rate improvement state is given to “ “0” is set, and “1” is set to a probability variation flag indicating that a probability variation state is to be provided.

  In addition, when the big hit game based on the special symbol C is given and the entrance rate improvement state is given in the ending process, the main control CPU 45a adds “ “1” is set, and “0” is set in a probability variation flag indicating that a probability variation state is to be provided. Further, when “1” is set in the operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is to be given, the main control CPU 45a sets the operation count indicating the number of remaining symbol variation games to which the entrance rate improvement state is assigned. Set 100 times. Further, when the big hit game based on the special symbol C is given and the entrance rate improvement state is not given in the ending process, the main control CPU 45a sets an operation flag indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is given to “ “0” is set, and “0” is set to a probability variation flag indicating that a probability variation state is to be provided.

Next, the contents of control related to the execution of the big hit game of the sub integrated control board 46 will be described.
When the opening control command is input, the overall control CPU 46a of the sub overall control board 46 determines the effect content of the opening effect, and gives the effect command for the effect display of the opening effect, and the voice / lamp control. Output to the substrate 48. When the round opening designation command is input, the overall control CPU 46a outputs the round effect command to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48 in order to instruct the effect during the round game. Further, when the round control designation command is input, the overall control CPU 46 a outputs the round close designation command to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. When the ending command is input, the overall control CPU 46a determines the content of the ending effect, and outputs the ending effect command that instructs the content of the ending effect to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. Then, the control related to the execution of the 16R big hit game, the 2R probability variable big hit game, or the 2R non-probable big hit game is ended.

Next, the control content related to the execution of the big hit game by the effect display control board 47 will be described.
When the opening control command output from the overall control CPU 46a is input, the display control CPU 47a of the effect display control board 47 is configured to execute the opening effect with the content of the effect instructed by the opening effect command (the effect during the big hit game). The display content of the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) is controlled. Further, when the display control CPU 47a inputs each round effect command, the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) is configured to execute each round effect with the effect contents (effect during the big hit game) instructed by the round effect command. ) Is displayed. In addition, when the ending effect command is input, the display control CPU 47a causes the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) to execute the ending effect with the effect content (effect during the big hit game) instructed by the ending effect command. Control display content.

  When the opening effect command, the ending effect command, and each round effect command are input, the sound / lamp control board 48 controls the light emission mode of the various lamp units 17 to 19 and 27b and the sound output mode of the speakers 20, 21, and 25. To do. That is, the voice / lamp control board 48 performs control so as to cause an effect corresponding to the contents of the effect instructed by these commands, like the effect display control board 47.

  In the present embodiment, it may be possible to recognize which type of jackpot game is given depending on the effect contents of the symbol variation game and the effect mode after the end of the jackpot game. This will be described in detail below.

  The specific display effect content of the symbol variation game is determined based on the variation pattern. The contents of the display effect based on this variation pattern will be described. First, an effect flow showing a flow of display effect contents of the symbol variation game during stay in the probability variation mode will be described based on FIG.

  In the symbol variation game while staying in the probability variation mode, the character that is the motif of the pachinko gaming machine 10 appears and confronts the enemy (partner) character, and the victory or defeat of the confrontation of the character that is the motif is derived. It is a display effect that suggests a big hit. In the symbol variation game during the stay in the probability variation mode, there are roughly divided display effect contents classified into the J pattern branched at the branch point JC and display effect contents classified into the K pattern. Specifically, the display effect content classified into the J pattern is the display effect content that gives the first strike to the opponent, and finally the display effect content (variation pattern P4) for deriving the effect result of “Victory”, and the opponent The content of the display effect (variation pattern P2) for finally deriving the effect of “defeat” by rebounding the attack (subject to a counter attack) or the like.

  On the other hand, the display effect content classified into the K pattern is the display effect content that is developed so that the character that is the motif is subjected to the first strike. The display effect contents classified into the K pattern include the effect that the motif character is subjected to the first strike, the opponent's attack is bounced (counter attack), etc. There is a display effect content to be derived (variation pattern P5). In addition, the display effect contents classified into the K pattern include the display effect content (variation pattern P3) that endures the opponent's attack and finally derives the “draw” effect result, and the opponent's attack. There is a display effect content (variation pattern P6) that finally derives an effect result of “defeat”.

  And as shown in FIG. 6, when the display effect content classified into J pattern is performed, it is either the display effect content based on the fluctuation pattern P2, or the display effect content based on the fluctuation pattern P4. Therefore, when the display effect contents classified into the J pattern are executed, the probability changing mode is continued and the probability changing mode is continuously executed, or the probability changing mode is continuously executed (given again) after the end of the 16R big hit game. That is, when the display effect content classified into the J pattern (the display effect content that gives the first strike to the opponent) is executed, the player can recognize that the probability change mode is continuously executed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed, the display effect content based on the variation pattern P3, the display effect content based on the variation pattern P5, and the variation pattern P6. One of the contents of the display effect. Further, as described above, when the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P5 is determined, or when a 16R big hit game is awarded, the probability variation mode is continuously executed. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P6 is determined, the probability variation mode ends after the symbol variation game ends. Therefore, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern (the display effect content in which the character as the motif is subjected to the preemptive attack) is executed, it is recognized whether or not the probability change mode is continuously executed. Can not.

  When the big hit lottery is won and the 16R big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 45a determines either the fluctuation pattern P4 or the fluctuation pattern P5. In the present embodiment, when the 16R big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 45a determines the variation pattern P4 (J pattern) with higher probability than the variation pattern P5 (K pattern). . When the big hit lottery is not won, that is, in the case of a loss, the main control CPU 45a determines any one of the variation pattern P1, the variation pattern P2, or the variation pattern P3. That is, when the 16R big hit game is awarded, or when it is out of play, the display effect contents classified into the J pattern and the K pattern are executed. On the other hand, when the 2R probability variation big hit game or the 2R non-probability big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 45a determines the variation pattern P6. That is, when a 2R probability variable big hit game or a 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded, the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed. That is, when the display effect contents classified into the K pattern are inevitably executed, the ratio when the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game are awarded is the case where the 16R big hit game is out of place. Will be greater than Therefore, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed, the player is urged to feel a sense of crisis that the probability variation mode ends, that is, the gaming state is not the probability variation state (becomes the normal state). It will be.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed, the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game that become the timing to shift to the CH mode, that is, the probability variable mode end timing, are executed. A guard guard notice to inform you that you have not won is available.

  In the present embodiment, when the variation pattern P3, variation pattern P5, and variation pattern P6 in which the display effect contents classified into the K pattern are executed are designated by the variation pattern designation command, the overall control CPU 46a is defensive. It is determined whether or not the soldier notice effect is executed. Specifically, the overall control CPU 46a determines whether or not the guard guard notice effect can be executed when the change pattern designation command input during the probability change mode specifies any of the change patterns P3, P5, and P6. With reference to ST, it is determined whether or not a guard guard notice effect is executed. For example, when the fluctuation pattern P3 is designated by the inputted fluctuation pattern designation command, the overall control CPU 46a determines not to execute the guard guard notice effect with a probability of 239/251. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern P3 is designated by the inputted fluctuation pattern designation command, the overall control CPU 46a decides to execute the guard guard notice effect with a probability of 12/251.

  In the defensive notice effect execution determination table ST of the present embodiment, the variation pattern P5 that can be specified when winning the 16R jackpot game or the variation pattern P3 that can be specified when the game is lost is designated by the variation pattern designation command. In the case of a defensive notice. On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the variation pattern P6 designated when winning the 2R probability variable big hit game and the 2R non-probable big hit game is designated by the variation pattern designation command, the guard guard notice effect is not executed. That is, when the guard guard notice effect is executed, the 16R jackpot game is won or lost, and the probability variation mode continues (the probability variation state is newly given or the probability variation state continues). The player can recognize this.

  Also, if the overall control CPU 46a decides to execute the guard guard notice effect, it outputs a guard notice command for instructing execution of the guard notice notice to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. To do. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 46a functions as a notice determination unit.

Next, the control content related to the execution of the guard guard notice effect by the effect display control board 47 will be described.
When the display control CPU 47a of the effect display control board 47 inputs the guard notice command output from the overall control CPU 46a, the display image of the guard is displayed on the effect display device 28 (image display unit GH) at a predetermined timing. To control.

  The voice / lamp control board 48 controls the light emission mode of the various lamp units 17 to 19 and 27 b and the voice output mode of the speakers 20, 21, and 25 when a guard notice command is input. The voice / lamp control board 48 performs control such that an effect corresponding to the content of the guard guard notice effect is performed at a predetermined timing, similarly to the effect display control board 47.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even in the normal mode, there may be a case where a variation pattern (special variation pattern) including the same display effect content as the variation pattern P4 is determined even in the probability variation mode. That is, in the present embodiment, when the special variation pattern is determined during the normal mode, there may be an effect including the same display effect content (effect content) as in the probability change mode.

Here, the process when the special variation pattern including the content of the effect in the probability variation mode is determined among the variation patterns determined in the normal mode will be described.
In the present embodiment, a special variation pattern including the same content as the variation patterns P2, P4, and P5 in the probability variation mode may be determined during the normal mode. The special variation pattern P11 including the same effect content as the variation pattern P2 in the probability variation mode is a special variation pattern that can be determined when a deviation occurs during the normal mode. The special variation pattern P12 including the same content as the variation pattern P4 during the probability variation mode and the special variation pattern P13 including the same content as the variation pattern P5 during the probability variation mode are used for the 16R big hit game during the normal mode. It is a special variation pattern that can be determined when winning.

  Therefore, the display effect content of the symbol variation game executed based on the special variation patterns P11 and P12 is the display effect content classified into the J pattern. In addition, the display effect content of the symbol variation game executed based on the special variation pattern P13 is the display effect content classified into the K pattern. In the present embodiment, the special variation pattern that can execute the display effect content classified into the K pattern during the normal mode is only the special variation pattern P13 that can be determined when the 16R big hit game is awarded. That is, the player recognizes that the 16R jackpot game is awarded when the display effect content classified into the K pattern (the display effect content in which the motif character is subjected to the first strike) is executed. can do.

  Then, the central control CPU 46a decides to always execute the guard guard notice effect (with a probability of 100%) when the special variation pattern P13 is designated by the variation pattern designation command. .

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the effect of the K pattern effect content is executed during the normal mode, a 16R big hit game is given and a guard guard notice effect is executed.

  In this embodiment, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed during the normal mode, it is determined that the 16R big hit game is awarded. That is, in the normal mode, unlike in the probability variation mode, the player desires that the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed. Then, during the probability change mode, in a situation where the guard guard notice effect can be executed, it is determined that the guard guard notice effect is not executed with a higher probability than the fact that the guard guard notice effect is determined to be executed. Yes. Therefore, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed during the normal mode, the guard guard notice effect that is rarely experienced can be experienced by always executing the guard notice notice effect. . In other words, a player who is delighted that the 16R big hit game is given by executing the display effect classified into the K pattern can be made more pleasing.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The jackpot game includes a 16R jackpot game in which the gaming state after the jackpot game ends is a probable change state, and a 2R non-probability variable jackpot game in which the game state is not changed. The player when the gaming state is in the probable change state wants to win the big hit game and to continue the probable change state. This is because the probability variation state is likely to be a big hit as compared to the normal state, so that the chances of increasing the profits that can be acquired by the player are increased. For this reason, the player avoids the case where the probability variation state is not given after the end of the big hit game. Then, the execution of the display effect contents classified into the J pattern when the 16R big hit game is awarded or is out of play is determined. Therefore, when the display effect content classified into the J pattern is executed, it can be recognized that the probability variation state continues. On the other hand, when the 16R big hit game or the 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded, or when the game is out of play, the execution of the display effect contents classified into the K pattern is determined. Therefore, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed, there is a possibility that the gaming state after the end of the symbol variation game is not the probability variation state. Therefore, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed, the player has a sense of crisis that the gaming state is not in the probabilistic state. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed, in the case of a loss or when a 16R jackpot game is awarded, a guard guard notice effect is executed. On the other hand, when a 2R non-probable big hit game is awarded, that is, when the game state after the end of the symbol change game is not a probable change state, the guard guard notice effect is not executed. By doing so, it is possible to suggest to the player that the probability variation state continues even after the symbol variation game ends. Therefore, even if the display effect contents classified into the K pattern are executed, if the guard guard notice effect is executed, the player's sense of crisis to the end of the probable change state can be eliminated, and the game can be performed with peace of mind. It can be performed. That is, it is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the guard guard notice effect is executed.

  (2) The 2R non-probable big hit game with a short opening time of the big winning opening 41 and the 16R big hit game with a long opening time of the big winning opening 41 are provided in the big hit game. In addition, since the 2R non-probability big hit game has a short opening time of the big winning opening 41, the player can obtain less profit than the 16R big hit game with a long opening time of the big winning opening 41. Further, when the 2R non-probability big hit game is awarded, the probability change state is not given after the big hit game is finished. On the other hand, when the 16R jackpot game is awarded, the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is over. Therefore, since the profit that can be acquired is small and the probability variation state does not continue, it is more pleasing for the player to continue the probability variation state out of the 2R non-probability big hit game than to be granted. I feel. As a result, it is possible to enhance the effect when the guard guard notice effect that suggests that the probability change state continues, that is, the improvement of interest from the sense of security that the probability change state does not end.

  (3) When in the normal state (normal mode), unlike in the case of the probability change state (probability change mode), the K pattern effect is executed, and when the garrison notice effect is executed, the probability change state Will be awarded and will be a big hit. In other words, during the normal mode, the guard guard notice effect is an effect that can recognize that the probability variation state is given and can recognize that the big hit game is given. Thereby, even if it is in normal mode, when a guard guard notice effect is performed, it will not be lost, but the interest to a game can be improved.

  (4) Even if the variation patterns P3 and P5 are determined during the probability variation mode, the guard guard notice effect may not be executed. On the other hand, when the special variation pattern P13 including the same display effect content as the variation pattern P5 is determined during the normal mode, the guard guard notice effect is always executed. In this way, by increasing the chances that the guard guard notice effect that is not often executed during the probability change mode is increased, the guard guard notice effect can be experienced and the player can be pleased.

  (5) During the normal mode, the special variation pattern including the display effect content of the variation pattern P3 for the offending effect is not provided. Further, the special variation pattern including the display effect content of the variation pattern P6 among the variation patterns for the big hit effect is not provided, while the special variation pattern including the display effect content of the variation pattern P5 among the variation patterns for the big hit effect (special A variation pattern P13) is provided. Thereby, when the display effect content classified into the K pattern is executed during the normal mode, the jackpot is determined and the interest can be improved.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the prescribed number of rounds of round game, the time for one opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 41, and the round game time may be changed.

-Although the said embodiment was actualized in the pachinko gaming machine 10 using a special symbol and a decoration symbol, you may materialize in the pachinko gaming machine using only a special symbol.
In the above embodiment, the sub integrated control board 46 is omitted, and commands related to big hit games such as an open command and a close command are output directly from the main control board 45 to the effect display control board 47 and the sound / lamp control board 48. You may do it.

  In the above embodiment, the type of jackpot game may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the specified number of rounds of the big hit game and the upper limit number of entering balls may be changed. Further, the number of opening / closing operations of the special winning opening 41 may be changed. For example, the grand prize winning opening 41 may be opened and closed three times during one round game.

  In the above embodiment, the effect display device 28 is a liquid crystal display, but it may be a dot matrix or 7 segment LED display or a mechanical effect display device such as a drum type.

  In the above embodiment, the 2R probability variation big hit game is provided, but it may not be provided. Accordingly, the probability variation concealment mode (CH mode) may not be provided. For example, the player may shift to the normal mode when the 2R big hit game is won during the probability change mode.

  In the above-described embodiment, the content of the guard guard notice effect is displayed on the effect display device 28 as an image of the guard soldier. However, other modes may be used. For example, an effect mode in which the characters “defense guard” are displayed on the effect display device 28 may be adopted.

  In the above embodiment, when the production of the production content of the K pattern is executed during the normal mode, the big hit is determined, but it is not necessary to do so. For example, it may be executed when a 2R probability variation big hit game is awarded.

  -The random number distribution in the defensive notice effect execution determination table ST of the above embodiment may be changed. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the probability that it is determined not to be executed is higher than the case where it is determined that the guard guard notice effect is executed. As another example, for example, it may be changed so that the probability determined to be executed is higher than it is determined not to execute the garrison notice effect.

  In the embodiment described above, the variation pattern and the display effect contents in the probability variation mode have a one-to-one relationship, but this need not be the case. For example, in the above embodiment, the variation pattern selected when the 16R big hit game is awarded is set as one of the variation patterns P4, and the display effect contents classified into the J pattern by random lottery or the K pattern You may determine whether it is set as the display effect content classified. In this case, the types of variation patterns can be reduced as compared with the above embodiment.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) When the predictive decision means is in the probability variation state, when the variation pattern decision means determines the second variation pattern for the probability variation big hit effect or the off-state effect, the announcement decision execution is determined by lottery. when not in probability variation state, when the variation pattern determination means has determined second variation pattern for probability variation big hit effect, you decide to always perform a prediction effect.

(B) The variation pattern determination means has a higher probability than the second variation pattern for the probability variation big hit effect when the result of the big hit determination means is affirmative and the result of the probability variation determination means is affirmative. in that it determines a first variation pattern for the probability variation big hit effect.

(C) the presentation control means to run at a timing after the recognizable effect content that the announcement attraction second effect contents is executed is executed.

If the determination result of the probability variation determination means is affirmative, probability variation giving means for giving a probability variation state as a gaming state after the big hit game,
Based on the determination result of the jackpot determination means and the determination result of the probability variation determination means, a variation pattern determination means for determining a variation pattern capable of specifying the effect content of the symbol variation game from a plurality of types of variation patterns;
In the symbol variation game in the probability variation state, after the symbol variation game ends, an execution determination is performed as to whether or not a notice effect that suggests that the probability variation state is given or continued is executed, and the execution determination When the determination result is affirmative, the execution of the notice effect is determined, while when the determination result of the execution determination is negative, the notice determination means for determining non-execution of the notice effect ,
If the determination result of the notice determining means is affirmative, the effect control means for causing the effect executing means to execute the notice effect, and
The variation pattern determining means includes
If the determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative and the determination result of the probability variation determination means is affirmative, the contents of the effect including the first effect content indicating that the probability variation state is reliably given or continued The first variation pattern for the probability variation jackpot effect that specifies the second variation pattern for the probability variation jackpot effect that identifies the first variation pattern for the probability variation jackpot representation or the second variation content indicating that the normal state may be given is determined. ,
If the determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative and the determination result of the probability variation determination means is negative, a second variation pattern for the non-probability variable jackpot effect specifying the content of the effect including the second effect content is provided. Decide
If the determination result of the jackpot determining means is negative, the first variation pattern for the offending effect specifying the effect content including the first effect content or the offending effect for specifying the effect content including the second effect content is specified. Determine the second variation pattern,
The notice determining means is
When the variation pattern determining means determines the first variation pattern for the probable big hit effect or the first variation pattern for the outlier effect, while determining not to execute the notice effect without performing the execution determination,
When the variation pattern determining means determines the second variation pattern for the probable big hit effect or the second variation pattern for the outlier effect, the execution determination is performed and the execution determination is affirmed to determine the notice effect. While deciding to run,
Characterized in that determining that the variation pattern determining means, when determining the second variation pattern for directing non probability variation big hit, not to execute the prediction effect makes a negative decision in the execution determination performs the execution determination A gaming machine. If the determination result of the jackpot determining means is affirmative, any of a special jackpot game with a long opening time of the special winning means and a shortened jackpot game with a short opening time of the special winning means compared with the special jackpot game Jackpot game deciding means for deciding whether or not to grant a jackpot game of
A jackpot game granting means for granting the jackpot game determined by the jackpot game determination means after the end of the symbol variation game in which the determination result of the jackpot determination means is affirmative,
The probability variation determination means is configured to determine whether or not to assign the probability variation state according to the jackpot game determined by the jackpot game determination means.
2. The shortened jackpot game includes a jackpot game in which the probability variation determination means makes a negative determination, while the special jackpot game includes a jackpot game in which the probability variation determination means makes a positive judgment. Game machines. The variation pattern determining means includes
If not in probability variation state, the determination result is positive the jackpot determination unit, and, when said probability variation judging means the determination result is positive, the first fluctuation pattern for probability variation big hit effect, or probability variation big hit second variation in interpretation While determining the pattern, when the determination result of the jackpot determination means is negative, to determine the first variation pattern for the offending effect,
The notice determining means is
If not in the probability variation state, when the variation pattern determining means determines the second variation pattern for the probability variation jackpot effect, while determining to execute the notice effect,
2. The system according to claim 1, wherein when the variation pattern determining means determines the first variation pattern for the off-line effect or the first variation pattern for the probability variation big hit effect, it decides not to execute the notice effect. Item 3. The gaming machine according to Item 2.
