A set port 21a that opens in a horizontally long rectangle when viewed from the front is formed in the approximate center of the display frame 21. The display frame 21 has a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH in alignment with the set port 21a. An effect display device 22 is attached. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 functions as an effect execution unit. The effect display device 22 includes a symbol variation game performed by varying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and various display effects (game effects) executed in association with the game are images. It is displayed. In the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22, a symbol combination including a plurality of columns (three columns in the present embodiment) is derived. Note that the symbol variation game of the effect display device 22 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols) for diversifying display effects. In the following description, the decorative symbol may be simply referred to as “decorative diagram”, and the symbol variation game based on the ornament performed as a display effect in the effect display device 22 may be referred to as a decorative symbol variation game.

  In FIG. 2, an 8-segment type first special figure indicator 23a and a second special figure indicator 23b are provided on the lower left side (as viewed from the player) of the game area H1 of the game board YB. In the first special symbol display device 23a and the second special graphic display device 23b, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display 23a or the second special symbol display 23b changes the special symbols of a plurality of types (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in one column. Is displayed. This special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, the symbol variation game performed using the special symbol on the first special symbol display 23a will be referred to as "first special symbol variation game", and the symbol variation game performed using the special symbol on the second special symbol display 23b. May be indicated as “second special symbol variation game”.

  Then, on the first special symbol display 23a or the second special symbol display 23b, the variation display of the symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the effect display device 22 starts the display of the decorative symbols at the same time as the start of the symbol variation game. Before the game ends, the ornament symbols are temporarily displayed in a swinging variation state. The decorative design is displayed with a fixed stop. “Fluctuation display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. “Temporary display” means that the symbol is shaken in the display area. This is a state displayed in a fluctuating state. The “definite stop display” is a state in which the symbols are fixed and stopped in the display area. In the first special symbol display 23a and the effect display device 22, the first special symbol variation game and the display effect (decorative symbol variation game) related to the first special symbol variation game are started and ended at the same time (that is, the first special symbol variation game). At the same time, a special symbol and a decorative symbol are confirmed and stopped). Similarly, in the second special symbol display 23b and the effect display device 22, the second special symbol variation game and the display effect (decorative symbol variation game) related to the second special symbol variation game are started and ended simultaneously ( That is, the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and stopped at the same time). On the other hand, in the first special figure display 23a and the second special figure display 23b, the symbol variation game is not performed in parallel. That is, only one of the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery is selected from the plurality of types of special figures for the first special figure indicator 23a and the second special figure indicator 23b, and the selected special figure is selected. The special figure is displayed as a fixed stop when the symbol variation game ends. In the present embodiment, the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 23a is indicated as a special symbol 1, and the special symbol displayed on the second special symbol indicator 23b is indicated as a special symbol 2. There is a case. The multiple types of special symbols are classified into 100 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and one type of outlier symbol that can recognize a hit. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game. The jackpot game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 has seven types of numbers of [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7] for each column. It is displayed as a decorative drawing. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 (image display unit GH) is configured with a larger display area than the first special figure display 23a and the second special figure display 23b, and the decorative drawing is special. It is displayed much larger than the figure. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or the loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22. When the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22 are the same symbol, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (big hit display result) by a decorative drawing. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns displayed on the effect display device 22 are confirmed and stopped, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, the symbol combination ([123] [122] [767] etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing.

  In the present embodiment, the decorative figures that can be displayed on the effect display device 22 are specific symbols (in this embodiment, [1], [3 ], [5], and [7] odd numbers) and a non-specific symbol (in this embodiment, [2 ], [4] and “6” even numbered symbols). In this embodiment, the probable change state that can be given after the end of the big hit game will be described in detail later.

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

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

The usual game is an effect performed to derive a lottery result indicating whether or not the second start winning opening 26 is in an open state (whether a game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening 26). The second start winning opening 26 is always in a closed state in which the entrance is closed by the opening and closing blades 26b. In this closed state, the game ball cannot be won. On the other hand, the second start prize opening 26 is opened by the opening / closing blade 26b when the game is given per universal figure after winning the universal figure which is an opening condition. It is in an open state and game balls can be won. That is, when a game is awarded per game, the player can be awarded a game ball at the second start winning opening 26 by opening the opening and closing blades 26b. You can get a chance to win the ball. It should be noted that game balls can always be awarded to the first start winning opening 25 under the same conditions.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a general-purpose holding display Rc is disposed above the first special figure holding display Ra on the game board YB. The general-purpose hold indicator Rc passes the operation gate 28 and the game ball passes through and becomes a start-retained ball. Number ”(or“ ordinary symbol start reserved memory number ”)), and the number of times of the normal game being held is informed by the display content of the general symbol hold indicator Rc. The number of stored customary drawings is incremented by 1 (+1) when a game ball passes through the operation gate 28, and is decremented by 1 (-1) when the regular game is started. Then, when the game ball passes through the operation gate 28 during the normal game, the general-purpose reserved memory number is further added (+1) and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). In the present embodiment, the universal figure hold indicator Rc is composed of a plurality of (four in this embodiment) lamps, and the number of lamps corresponding to the universal figure reserved memory number is turned on to play the universal figure reserved memory number. Inform the person.

  In addition, in the lowermost part of the game area H1 of the game board YB (below the big prize opening device 27), game balls that have been launched into the game area H1 and have not entered any of the prize openings are out balls. As a result, an out-bulb opening 13 is formed for discharging outside the machine. The game balls that have passed through the out ball opening 13 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 based on the condition that the type of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) that has been confirmed and displayed is a predetermined probability variation symbol, and the winning probability (winning lottery probability) for winning the jackpot after the jackpot game ends is low ( A probability variation state (hereinafter, may be referred to as a “probability variation state”) that changes from a normal probability (normal state) (5/1697 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (50/1697 in the present embodiment). It is a function. In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Further, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit occurs. In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur. Playing games while expecting.

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

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

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

  Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the big hit is won by the big hit lottery, one big hit game is determined from the three types of big hit games shown in FIG. 4, and the determined big hit game is given. It has become so. Of the three types of jackpot games, which jackpot game will be awarded is determined according to the type of special symbol (jackpot symbol) that is determined when winning the jackpot in the jackpot lottery Yes. In this embodiment, the 100 special symbol 1 jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 23a are classified into three groups of symbol A, symbol B, and symbol C as shown in FIG. . Then, as shown in FIG. 4, 35 types of big hit symbols among the big hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 23a are distributed to the symbol A. Similarly, 27 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 23a are distributed to the symbol B. 38 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 23a are distributed to the symbol C.

  In the present embodiment, the 100 special symbol 2 jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display 23b are classified into three groups of symbol a, symbol b, and symbol c as shown in FIG. Is done. As shown in FIG. 4, 55 kinds of big hit symbols among the big hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display 23b are distributed to the symbol a. Similarly, seven types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display 23b are distributed to the symbol b. In addition, 38 types of jackpot symbols among the jackpot symbols displayed on the second special symbol display 23b are allocated to the symbol c.

  A jackpot symbol classified as symbol A and symbol B is displayed on the first special symbol display 23a, or a jackpot symbol classified as symbol a and symbol b is displayed on the second special symbol indicator 23b. The jackpot game that is sometimes given is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds (the upper limit number of round games) is set to “15” and a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends. Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbols A and a will be referred to as a first probability variation 15R jackpot game (note that “R” indicates “round”). The jackpot game based on the symbols B and b is referred to as a second probability variation 15R jackpot game. Further, the big hit (big hit type) based on the symbol A and the symbol a is indicated as the first probability variation 15R big hit, and the big hit based on the symbol B and the symbol b is indicated as the second probability variation 15R big hit. In the first probability variation 15R jackpot game and the second probability variation 15R jackpot game (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as “probability variation 15R jackpot game”), the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is “9”. Sphere "is set. Further, in 15 round games in the probability variation 15R big hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening door 27a of the big prize opening device 27 is opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the first probability variation 15R big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends and the variable state is given until the end of the probability variation state. On the other hand, in the second probability variation 15R big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the probability variation state (no limit) after the big hit game ends and the predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) are changed as the upper limit number. A short state is given.

  A jackpot game awarded when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol C is displayed on the first special symbol display 23a, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol c is displayed on the second special symbol display 23b. Is a 15-round jackpot game in which the specified number of rounds is set to “15” and a probability change state is not given after the jackpot game ends (a non-probability change state is given). Hereinafter, the jackpot game based on the symbols C and c will be referred to as “non-probability variable 15R jackpot game”. Further, the big hit (big hit type) based on the symbols C and c is shown as a non-probable variation 15R big hit. In addition, in the non-probability 15R big hit, the upper limit number of balls (count number) of one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the non-probability 15R big hit, it is set to open the grand prize winning door 27a “once” in each round game. In addition, in the non-probability 15R big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) is changed as the upper limit number without giving the probable change state after the big hit game ends. Only the short state is granted.

In the present embodiment, the first probability variation 15R big hit (symbol A and symbol a) and the second probability variation 15R big hit (symbol B and symbol b) are the specific jackpots.
In each jackpot game described above, the opening time, the round game time of one round game, and the ending time are set as shown in FIG. Since each round game may end when a maximum number of game balls are entered, the round game time of one round game shown in FIG. 4 is the maximum time.

  In addition, the “low accuracy + no change”, “low accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change”, “high accuracy + no change” shown in the “game state at the time of winning” in FIG. ”Indicates the following states. The state of “low accuracy + no change” indicates a non-probability change state and a non-change change state, and is a “normal state” in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. The state of “low accuracy + variation” indicates a non-probability variation state and a variation state. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state of “low accuracy + variation” is a non-probability variation 15R big hit. Produced by winning. The state of “high accuracy + no change” indicates a state of probability change and a non-change state, and in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the state of “high accuracy + no change” is the second probability change 15R big hit. After the second probability variation 15R jackpot game is won and the predetermined variation number (100 times in this embodiment) of the symbol variation game is terminated, the variation state is completed. It is. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the state of “high probability + variation” is created by winning the first probability variation 15R big hit or the second probability variation 15R big hit.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, after each big hit game, the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high probability lottery state (probability variation state) or a low probability lottery state (non-probability variation state). A plurality of (three in the present embodiment) effect modes for displaying a game state notification image that suggests to the player whether or not. FIG. 5 shows a transition mode of the effect mode in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. And in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the transition mode of the production mode is assumed to be a big hit, and the production mode to be changed according to the type of the big hit that has been won is different. By the transition of the effect mode, the player estimates whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high-probability lottery state from the effect mode during the stay, that is, the game state notification image displayed in the effect mode. It is like that.

Hereinafter, the production mode of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, the three production modes have different production modes. In the effect mode of the present embodiment, a normal mode MA is set in which no change state is given, and where the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state. In addition, the rendering mode of the present embodiment is provided with a variable state, and a high probability suggestion mode MB that stays when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a high probability lottery state or a low probability lottery state. Is set. In addition, in the production mode of the present embodiment, a variable state is given, and a high-accuracy confirmation mode MC that stays when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a high-probability lottery state is set.

  The high-confirmation confirmation mode MC is an effect that definitely suggests (notifies) to the player that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is a high-probability lottery state, that is, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a probabilistic variation state. Has been. On the other hand, the normal mode MA and the high probability suggestion mode MB are effects that are executed regardless of whether the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is the high probability lottery state or the low probability lottery state. That is, the normal mode MA and the high-probability suggestion mode MB suggest (notify) to the player indefinitely whether the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is the probability change state or the non-probability change state. It is considered as a high-probability latent production, and these two production modes suggest the possibility of being in a probabilistic state.

  The above-described three performance modes indicate the level of expectation of being in the probability variation state (the magnitude of the possibility of being in the probability variation state), and are the effects distinguished by the height. In the present embodiment, it is positioned as an effect mode with a high expectation level that is a probability variation state in the order of normal mode MA <high probability suggestion mode MB <high probability determination mode MC.

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

Hereinafter, transition modes of the effect mode will be described.
The normal mode MA is an effect mode in which the user stays at “low accuracy + no change” and “high accuracy + no change”. When the first probability variation 15R jackpot is won during the stay in the normal mode MA, the game shifts to the jackpot mode MC through the jackpot game. Further, when the second probability change 15R big hit or the non-probability change 15R big hit is won while staying in the normal mode MA, the game moves to the high probability suggestion mode MB through the big hit game.

  The high-accuracy determination mode MC is an effect mode in which the user stays when “high-accuracy + changed”. When the second probability variation 15R big hit or the non-probability variation 15R big hit is won while staying in the high probability determination mode MC, the game proceeds to the high probability suggestion mode MB through a big hit game. Therefore, the end condition of the high-accuracy confirmation mode MC is set to “win either the first positive variation 15R big hit, the second positive variation 15R big hit, or the non-probable variation 15R big hit”. It is continued until 15R jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery.

  The high accuracy suggestion mode MB is an effect mode in which the user stays when “low accuracy + variation” and “high accuracy + variation”. In other words, the high probability suggestion mode MB that has been transferred due to winning the second probability variation 15R jackpot has a gaming state of “high probability + variable”. On the other hand, the high-accuracy suggestion mode MB shifted by winning the non-probable variation 15R jackpot is “low probability + variable”. If the first probability variation 15R big win is won while staying in the high probability suggestion mode MB, the game proceeds to the high probability confirmation mode MC through the big hit game.

  The end conditions for the high-impact suggestion mode MB are “winning the first positive variation 15R big hit, the second positive variation 15R big hit and the non-probable variation 15R big hit in the big hit lottery”, It is set that one of “the state ends” is established. For this reason, when it shifts to the high probability suggestion mode MB by winning either the second probability variation 15R big hit or the non-probability variation 15R big hit, it shifts to the normal mode MA when the variable state ends. As a result, the normal mode MA that shifts through the high-accuracy suggestion mode MB still has a possibility of a probability variation state, and is in a probability variation latency state.

  Further, the high-accuracy suggestion mode MB in the present embodiment is further divided into a plurality of modes (six in the present embodiment), and is set so that the expectation level that is a probable change state is different for each effect mode. Specifically, a high accuracy suggestion mode MB1, a high accuracy suggestion mode MB2, a high accuracy suggestion mode MB3, a high accuracy suggestion mode MB4, a high accuracy suggestion mode MB5, and a high accuracy suggestion mode MB6 are set. And the high probability suggestion mode MB1 <high probability suggestion mode MB2 <high probability suggestion mode MB3 <high probability suggestion mode MB4, high probability suggestion mode MB5, and high probability suggestion mode MB6, in the order of high expectation in the probability variation state. It is positioned as a mode. And in this embodiment, it is comprised so that it can transfer to high probability suggestion mode MB4-MB6 only when the 2nd probability variation 15R big hit is won. Accordingly, the high-accuracy suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 are surely informing the player that the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is the high-probability lottery state while being classified into the “high-accuracy suggestion mode”. become. Moreover, in this embodiment, when the 2nd probability variation 15R big hit is won, it is determined which production mode is to be shifted among the high accuracy suggestion modes MB1 to MB6. On the other hand, when the non-probable change 15R big hit is won, it is determined which of the high-impact suggestion modes MB1 to MB3 to shift to the production mode. Further, in the present embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the promotion lottery can be executed for each variable game until a predetermined number (for example, 75 times) of the symbol variable game is executed. Therefore, if, for example, winning the non-probable change 15R jackpot, the transition is made to the high suggestion mode MB1 as the effect mode after the jackpot game ends, and if the tenth promotion lottery is won after the jackpot game ends, the high probability suggestion The mode MB1 is promoted to the high suggestion mode MB2. In the present embodiment, when the non-probability variation 15R big hit is won, the high-impact suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 that have higher expectations than the high-probability suggestion mode MB3 are not transferred. In addition, when the second probability variation 15R big hit is won, and the transition to any one of the high accuracy suggestion modes MB4 to MB6, the high accuracy suggestion mode does not change any more.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a promotion effect. The promotion effect is an effect that is performed while the big hit game is being performed. This promotion effect is performed in an effect mode in which a predetermined effect is executed in a round game during a big hit game. According to the promotion effect, even if the jackpot symbol of the decoration symbol finally derived in the symbol variation game is a jackpot symbol that cannot recognize the “first probability variation 15R jackpot”, during the jackpot game, the “first probability variation 15R” It is possible to make the player have an expectation informing that the player has won the “big hit”, that is, an expectation to be promoted to an advantageous big hit game.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. (Control command) is output. In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 22 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. Further, the lamp control board 33 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31 and the light emission modes (lighting (flashing) / lighting off timing, etc.) of the frame lamp units 16a to 16c. To control. The audio control board 34 is based on the control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31 and the audio output modes (timing of audio output, etc.) of the various speakers 17a to 17c as audio output means. To control.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a main control ROM 30b that stores a main control program for the main control CPU 30a and a main control RAM 30c that can write and read necessary data. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, and a count switch SE3 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a includes a first special figure display 23a, a second special figure display 23b, a first special figure hold display Ra, a second special figure hold display Rb, and a general figure hold display Rc. It is connected. The main control CPU 30a is connected with a big prize opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main control CPU 30a is connected to the normal symbol display 24 and the gate sensor SE4.

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

  The big hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) as to whether or not to make a big hit, and within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, a total of 1697 types from “0” to “1696”). The main control CPU 30a is updated by incrementing the numerical value every predetermined cycle (every 4 ms) so that a numerical value of (integer) can be taken. The special symbol distribution random number is a special symbol 1 that is displayed on the first special symbol display 23a to be confirmed and stopped or a special symbol that is to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display 23b when the big win is won in the big hit lottery. This is a random number used when determining the jackpot symbol as 2. The special control distribution random number is determined by the main control CPU 30a so that it can take a numerical value within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, all 100 integers from "0" to "99"). The value is updated by adding 1 to each cycle (every 4 ms). Each of the 100 special figure distribution random numbers is associated with each of the above-mentioned 100 types of special bonus jackpot symbols. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is possible to uniquely identify the jackpot symbol (special figure) displayed on the first special figure display unit 23a and the second special figure display unit 23b in a fixed stop manner from the value of the special figure distribution random number. In addition, depending on which group the specified jackpot symbol (special symbol) is classified, the type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol variation game can be specified. That is, in the present embodiment, the type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol variation game can be specified from the value of the special figure distribution random number.

  Further, the reach determination random number is a random number used in reach determination (reach lottery) to determine whether or not a reach effect is to be formed when a big win is not won in the big win lottery, that is, in the case of a loss. The random number for reach determination is updated by the main control CPU 30a so as to be able to take numerical values within a predetermined numerical range (in the present embodiment, all 163 kinds of integers from “0” to “162”). Further, the fluctuation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when selecting and determining a fluctuation pattern. The random number for determining a common figure is a random number used in a lottery per common figure (determined by a common figure) for determining whether or not to determine a normal figure, and within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, “0” to “0”). The main control CPU 30a is updated so as to be able to take a total of 241 types of numbers up to “240”. In the present embodiment, the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number are transferred to the first start winning opening 25 or the second start winning opening 26. It is acquired at the same time (same timing) at the timing of entering the ball. These random numbers are commonly used in the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game. That is, the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number that are acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 are the second start winning prizes. This is the same as the big hit determination random number, the special figure distribution random number, the reach determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number that are acquired when the game ball wins the mouth 26. Further, in the present embodiment, the random number for determining per common figure is acquired when the game ball passes through the operation gate 28.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a jackpot determination value as a jackpot value. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery (big hit lottery) to determine whether or not the jackpot, and is determined from the numerical values that can be taken by the jackpot determination random number (all 1697 integers from 0 to 1696). . Note that the number of jackpot determination values differs depending on whether or not a probability variation state (in the high probability big hit lottery state) is given, and the number of jackpot determination values in the probability variation state (in this embodiment, “18” to “ “50 up to“ 67 ”) is set to be larger than the number of big hit determination values in the normal state (in the low probability big hit lottery state) (in this embodiment, five from“ 18 ”to“ 22 ”). Yes. In this embodiment, “18” to “22” as jackpot determination values are common values in the probability variation state and the normal state, while “23” to “67” as jackpot values are set. The non-common value is different from the common value. The jackpot determination value is commonly used in the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game. That is, the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination value based on the first special figure hold memory number is the same as the jackpot determination value used in the jackpot determination based on the second special figure hold memory number.

  Further, the main control ROM 30b stores a standard hit value. The per-standard figure judgment value is a judgment value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not per common figure, and can be selected from among the numerical values (a total of 241 integers from 0 to 240) that can be taken by the random number for judgment for general charts. It has been established. In addition, the number of judgment values per common figure differs depending on whether or not the variable state is given, and the number of judgment values per common figure when the variable state is given (in this embodiment, 240) is set to be larger than the number of determination values per normal map in the normal state (10 in this embodiment).

  The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in reach determination (reach lottery) to determine whether or not the reach effect is to be executed when the symbol variation game is out of the range, and a reach determination random number (from 0 to 162). 163 types of integers).

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

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

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

Further, the overall control CPU 31a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the overall control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The overall control ROM 31b stores an overall control program for overall control of the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the various control commands are input, the overall control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.

The display control ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the effect display device 22. The display control ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control RAM 32c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.

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

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

  When the determination result in step S2 is affirmative (first special figure reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds +1 (1) to the first special figure reserved memory number, and determines the first special figure reserved memory number. Rewrite (step S3). Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the reach determination random number, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 30c. Then, the value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the first special figure reserved storage number (step S4).

  Next, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 26 (step S5). That is, in step S5, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a second detection signal output when the second start port sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S5 is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. When the determination result of step S5 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second special figure reservation storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S6). . When the determination result in step S6 is negative (second special figure holding storage number = 4), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  If the determination result of step S6 is affirmative (second special figure reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds +1 (1 addition) to the second special figure reserved memory number, and sets the second special figure reserved memory number. Rewrite (step S7). Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the reach determination random number, the value of the special figure distribution random number, and the value of the variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 30c. Then, the value is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the second special figure reserved storage number (step S8). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes the special symbol input process functions as a random number acquisition unit. In the present embodiment, the main control RAM 30c functions as a holding storage unit.

  Next, the special symbol start process will be described with reference to FIGS. The main control CPU 30a executes a special symbol start process every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 4 ms).

  First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbols (special drawings and decorative drawings) are being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the jackpot game is being played (step S11). If the determination result of step S11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. In other words, the symbol variation game is not executed during the symbol variation game and the big hit game. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main control CPU 30a reads the second special figure reserved memory number (step S12), and determines whether or not the second special figure reserved memory number is greater than "0". (Step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure reserved memory number = 0), the main control CPU 30a reads the first special figure reserved memory number (step S14), and the first special figure reserved memory number. Is greater than “0” (step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative (when the first special figure holding memory number = 0), the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect has already been output ( Step S16). When this determination result is negative (when the demonstration designation command is not output), the main control CPU 30a outputs the demonstration designation command (step S17). Then, the special symbol start process ends. If the determination result in step S16 is affirmative (if a demonstration designation command is output), the main control CPU 30a directly ends the special symbol start process.

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

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure holding storage number “1” stored earliest. Further, after acquiring the random number, the main control CPU 30a corresponds to the first special figure reserved memory number “1” using the random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure reserved memory number “2”. Store in the attached storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure reservation storage number “3” and the storage area associated with the first special figure reservation storage number “2”. To remember. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number stored in the storage area associated with the first special figure reservation storage number “4” and the storage area associated with the first special figure reservation storage number “3”. To remember. Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the first special figure reservation indicator Ra so as to display the first special figure reservation storage number after subtracting “1”.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. A big hit lottery is performed (step S21). In the present embodiment, in the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 5/1697, and when the probability change state (when the probability is high). The probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 50/1697.

  When the determination result of step S21 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main control CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit variation (step S22). Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 23a from the jackpot symbol by the special symbol 1 based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number value. (Step S23). As described above, the special chart distribution random number according to the present embodiment is associated with the special figure jackpot symbol separately, and the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the acquired special map distribution random number. The jackpot symbol of the special symbol 1 associated with is determined. In the present embodiment, among all 100 types of special symbol jackpot symbols, 35 types are classified as symbol A, 27 types are classified as symbol B, and 38 types are classified as symbol C. Therefore, in step S23, the main control CPU 30a has a probability of 35/100 for a special symbol classified as symbol A as a big hit symbol of special symbol 1 and a probability of 27/100 for a special symbol classified as symbol B. Thus, the special figure classified as the symbol C is determined with a probability of 38/100.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a, which has determined the jackpot symbol (special symbol 1) in step S23, determines one variation pattern from among the variation patterns for the jackpot effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number value. (Step S24). The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol (big hit symbol), outputs a first control symbol to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes relating to the game are executed (step S25). Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special symbol display 23a so that the special symbol 1 starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol 1 designation command for instructing the special symbol 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the first special symbol so that the determined final stop symbol is displayed based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the device 23a is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a gives an instruction to stop the variation of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S21 is negative (not the big hit), the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S26). When the determination result in step S26 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the outlier symbol as the final stop symbol that is to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display 23a (step S27). ). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the loss reach effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number (step S28).

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol (outlier symbol), moves to the process of step S25, and sends a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the first special symbol variation game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main control CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and displays the first special symbol display so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. The display content of the device 23a is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a gives an instruction to stop the variation of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S26 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S29. In step S29, the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display 23a (step S29). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the offending effect (step S30).

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol (outlier symbol), moves to the process of step S25, and sends a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the first special symbol variation game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. The main control CPU 30a is a process different from the special symbol start process, and displays the first special symbol display so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the specified variation pattern. The display content of the device 23a is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a gives an instruction to stop the variation of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S13 shown in FIG. 7 is affirmative (when the second special figure holding storage number> 0), the main control CPU 30a stores the special symbol stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. A value [1] indicating that the second special symbol variation game is to be executed is set in the variation processing flag (step S31). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts "-1" from the number of the second special figure reserved memory number (-1) (step S32), and the main control RAM 30c is associated with the second special figure reserved memory number. The value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for reach determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution stored in the predetermined storage area are acquired (step S33).

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure holding storage number “1” stored earliest. Further, after acquiring the random number, the main control CPU 30a corresponds to the random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure reserved memory number “2” corresponding to the second special figure reserved memory number “1”. Store in the attached storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a uses the random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure reservation storage number “3” as the storage area associated with the second special figure reservation storage number “2”. To remember. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure reservation storage number “4” and the storage area associated with the second special figure reservation storage number “3”. To remember. Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the second special figure reservation display Rb so as to display the second special figure reservation storage number after subtracting “1”.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. A big hit lottery is performed (step S34). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 5/1697. The probability that the result is affirmative (hit probability) is 50/1697.

  When the determination result in step S34 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main control CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit variation (step S35). Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be displayed on the second special symbol display 23b from the big hit symbol by the special symbol 2 based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number value. (Step S36). As described above, the special chart distribution random number according to the present embodiment is associated with the special figure jackpot symbol separately, and the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the acquired special map distribution random number. The jackpot symbol of the special symbol 2 associated with is determined. In the present embodiment, out of 100 jackpot symbols of all 100 types of special illustrations, 55 types are classified as symbol a, 7 types are classified as symbol b, and 38 types are classified as symbol c. Therefore, in step S36, the main control CPU 30a has a probability of 55/100 for a special symbol classified as symbol a as a big hit symbol for special symbol 2 and a probability of 7/100 for a special symbol classified as symbol b. Thus, the special figure classified as the symbol c is determined with a probability of 38/100.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a, which has determined the jackpot symbol (special symbol 2) in step S36, determines one variation pattern from among the variation patterns for the jackpot effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number value. (Step S37). The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol (the jackpot symbol of the special symbol 2), outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. 2. Various processes related to the special symbol variation game are executed (step S38). Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the second special figure display 23b so that the special symbol starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol 2 designation command for instructing the special symbol 2 to be the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the second special symbol display so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the device 23b is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a gives an instruction to stop the variation of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination of step S34 is negative (that is, when it is not a big hit), the reach determination is performed to determine whether or not the reach effect is executed (step S39). If the determination result in step S39 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display 23b (step S39). S40). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the outlier reach effect based on the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution (step S41).

  Then, the main control CPU 30a having determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol (outlier symbol) proceeds to the process of step S38, and sends a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the second special symbol variation game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Note that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the second special symbol display so that the determined final stop symbol is displayed based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the device 23b is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a gives an instruction to stop the variation of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S39 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S42. In step S42, the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display 23b (step S42). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for the offending effect (step S43).

  Then, the main control CPU 30a having determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol (outlier symbol) proceeds to the process of step S38, and sends a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the second special symbol variation game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. Note that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a displays the second special symbol display so that the determined final stop symbol is displayed based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the device 23b is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a gives an instruction to stop the variation of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes the special symbol start process functions as a big hit lottery means.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes the special symbol start process for each predetermined control cycle, so that the big hit determination (big hit lottery) derives (notifies) the lottery result of the big hit lottery. It is executed immediately before the start of the symbol variation game. That is, “immediately before the start of the symbol variation game” means that the special control start holding ball (the first special drawing start holding ball or the second special figure start holding ball) is stored in the main control RAM 30c in a state where the big hit game is not being executed. Is stored immediately after the currently running symbol variation game (the first special symbol variation game or the second special symbol variation game) is completed. If no special figure start holding ball (first special figure start holding ball or second special figure start holding ball) is stored in the main control RAM 30c, winning detection is detected at each of the start winning ports 25 and 26. Immediately after.

Next, the control contents during the big hit game will be described as the control contents executed by the main control CPU 30a.
The main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command at the start of each jackpot game, outputs a round command at the start of each round game, and outputs an ending command at the end. The opening command instructs the start of the opening, the round command instructs the start of the round game, and the ending command instructs the start of the ending. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening signal for opening the special winning opening door 27a at the start of each round game. The opening signal is output to the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 of the large winning opening door 27a, the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 is activated by the opening signal, and the large winning opening door 27a is opened. Further, the main control CPU 30a measures a predetermined round game time for each round game, and inputs a detection signal from the count switch SE3 to count the number of game balls that have entered during the round game. . Then, the main control CPU 30a is configured to close the grand prize winning door 27a by satisfying any end condition that the round game time has elapsed and the upper limit number of game balls have entered. Outputs a closing signal. The closing signal is output to the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 of the large winning opening door 27a, the large winning opening solenoid SOL1 is actuated by the closing signal, and the large winning opening door 27a is closed.

  The main control CPU 30a that has finished the big hit game sets “1” to the probability change flag indicating that the probability change state is given when either the first probability change 15R big hit or the second probability change 15R big hit is given. . When “1” is set in the probability variation flag, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned, and when “0” is set, it indicates that the probability variation state is not imparted. ing. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” in the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when the non-probability variation 15R big hit is imparted. Further, when providing the variable state, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the variable state is provided. When “1” is set in the operation flag, it indicates that the variable state is provided. When “0” is set, the variable state is not provided. Is shown. The “probability change flag” and the “operation flag” are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c and cleared when a big hit game is given (set to “0”). It has become.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a sets 100 times as the number of operation times as the number of symbol variation games to which the variable state is given when either the second probability variation 15R big hit or the non-probability variation 15R big hit is given. To do. The number of times of change giving the change state is decremented by 1 every time the symbol change game is executed, and when the value becomes 0, the operation flag is cleared ("0" is set).

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

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described.
When the overall control CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 receives the change pattern designation command, the overall control board 31a outputs the command to each of the control boards 32-34. In addition, when the central control CPU 31a inputs a special symbol 1 designation command or a special symbol 2 designation command, the overall control CPU 31a configures a symbol combination to be stopped and displayed on the effect display device 22 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. Determine the decoration.

  In determining the decoration diagram, the overall control CPU 31a determines that the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command corresponds to the first probability variation 15R jackpot (symbol A or symbol a). ), The symbol combination of the decorative symbols is determined depending on whether or not the promotion effect is notified that the first probability variation 15R big hit game is won. That is, when notifying the promotion effect, the overall control CPU 31a uses other decorative symbols ([[]], [3], [5], [7] other than the decorative symbols ([[ 2], [4], [6]) to determine one decorative design. On the other hand, if the promotion control is not executed, the overall control CPU 31a determines a jackpot symbol combination made up of a specific symbol (an odd symbol in the present embodiment) as a symbol symbol combination. Further, the central control CPU 31a determines whether the stop symbol (special symbol) designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command corresponds to the second probability variation 15R jackpot or symbol bonus symbol (symbol B or symbol b) or non-probability variation. In the case of a jackpot symbol (symbol C or symbol c) corresponding to 15R jackpot, a symbol combination of jackpots consisting of non-specific symbols (even symbols in this embodiment) is determined as a symbol combination of the decorative drawing.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is an outlier symbol, the overall control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. In addition, the overall control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a loss, and when a variation pattern for a loss reach effect is instructed, a symbol combination that can recognize a loss including a reach formation symbol. decide. On the other hand, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the outbreak that does not include the reach formation symbol. Then, the overall control CPU 31a that has determined the decoration drawing outputs a decoration designating command for designating the decoration drawing to the display control board 32. Further, when the overall control CPU 31a inputs an all symbols stop command, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the command to each of the control boards 32-34.

  Next, the control contents related to the rendering mode executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described. The overall control CPU 31a determines the type of jackpot symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 30a, and each designation command relating to operation / non-operation (end) of the variable state. Then, based on the set value of the effect mode flag, the type of effect mode after the big hit game is determined, and the effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined effect mode. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 31c. When the production mode flag is set (updated), the overall control CPU 31a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the production mode during the stay to each of the control boards 32-34.

Next, the control content related to the jackpot game executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described.
When the opening control command, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the opening effect, the effect content of the round effect, and the effect content of the ending effect according to these commands. Then, the overall control CPU 31a outputs an effect instruction command for instructing the determined effect content to each of the control boards 32-34.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described.
When a variation pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a of the display control board 32 selects an effect content corresponding to the variation pattern instructed by the command, and an effect display is performed so that the symbol variation game is executed with the effect content. The display content of the device 22 is controlled. At this time, the display control CPU 32a uses the image data in the display control ROM 32b based on the selected effect content to generate display data for displaying an image according to the effect content.

  The display control CPU 32a measures the elapsed time from the start of the game with the start of the symbol variation game, and displays an image displayed on the effect display device 22 based on the measured time and display data. Switch every control cycle (for example, every 4 ms). Then, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an all symbol stop command during the symbol variation game, the display content of the effect display device 22 is displayed so that the symbol indicated by the decoration symbol designation command is displayed on the effect display device 22 in a definite stop display. Control and finish the symbol variation game. Further, when the mode control command is input, the display control CPU 32a changes the background image based on the instruction content.

Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, specific control for executing the jackpot advance determination will be described in detail.
The main control CPU 30a of this embodiment predetermines the value of the big hit determination random number and the special figure distribution random number acquired at the timing when the winning is detected at the second start winning opening 26. In addition, a prior determination command for instructing the preliminary determination result is output to the overall control CPU 31a. Then, the overall control CPU 31a includes a start hold ball that is a probable 15R big hit in the second special figure start hold ball based on the result of the pre-determination instructed by the pre-determination command input from the main control CPU 30a. Whether or not it is determined.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, a prior determination command (DCxxH) is output from the main control CPU 30a to the overall control CPU 31a. The pre-determination command DCxxH can be specified as a pre-determination command instructing the special symbol 2 by the upper byte “DC”, and the special figure distribution random number value can be specified by the lower byte “xxH”. ing. In the present embodiment, the special figure distribution random values that are all 100 integer values from “0 to 99” are directly set as the lower byte. As described above, in the present embodiment, each value of the 100 special map distribution random numbers is associated with a jackpot symbol (special symbol) one by one from among 100 types. By referring to the value of the lower byte of the determination command, the type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol variation game can be uniquely specified. Therefore, the big hit symbol of the special symbol 2 can be specified by the preliminary determination command DCxxH configured as described above. That is, in DCxxH, the type of jackpot can be specified from the value indicated in each command.

  Next, the presetting process executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described with reference to FIG. This pre-setting process is executed after the special symbol input process.

  In the pre-setting process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball is detected in the second start winning opening 26 (step S101). If this determination result is negative (no winning detection is detected), the main control CPU 30a ends the pre-setting process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S101 is affirmative (winning is detected), the main control CPU 30a executes a pre-determination process shown in FIG. 11 (step S102). This pre-determination process pre-determines the value of the jackpot determination random number and the special figure distribution random number acquired when winning is detected at the second start winning opening 26 in the special symbol input process, This is a process for generating and outputting a prior determination command for instructing the result of the prior determination. This advance determination process will be described in detail later. Then, the overall control CPU 31a ends the pre-setting process.

Next, the prior determination process executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the jackpot determination random number acquired when the game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 26 in the special symbol input process described above matches the jackpot determination value. Is determined (step S211). At this time, the main control CPU 30a refers to the value of the probability change flag stored in the main control RAM 30c to determine whether or not the gaming state is the probability change state. When the main control CPU 30a is in the probability variation state, the main control CPU 30a makes a determination using the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state (50 integer values in the present embodiment), whereas in the normal state, the main control CPU 30a is in the normal state. The big hit determination value (in this embodiment, five kinds of integer values) is used for determination. As described above, the main control CPU 30a is the big hit value (indicating the big hit) that the big hit determination value acquired at the timing when the winning is detected at the second start winning opening 26 is won by the big hit lottery. Value) in advance. During the big hit game execution, the big hit judgment value in the normal state is set.

  If the determination result in step S211 is negative (does not match the jackpot determination value), the main control CPU 30a ends the preliminary determination process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S211 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a receives a game ball in the upper byte “DC” for designating a pre-determination command that designates the special symbol 2 and the second start winning opening 26. A pre-determination command is generated from the lower byte “xxH” that specifies the value of the special figure distribution random number acquired when the winning is detected, and is set in a predetermined transmission buffer (step S212). The control commands set in the predetermined transmission buffer are sequentially output to the overall control CPU 31a in the next and subsequent control cycles. Then, the main control CPU 30a that ends the process of step S212 ends the preliminary determination process.

In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a functions as a pre-hit determination unit and a pre-hit type determination unit.
Next, a process related to the jackpot advance determination executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described.

The overall control CPU 31a stores a value of a pre-determination command DCxxH that can specify the special symbol 2.
When the overall control stop command is input after the input of the variation pattern instructing the execution of the second special symbol variation game from the main control CPU 30a, the overall control CPU 31a corresponds to the second special diagram hold memory number “1”. The value (preliminary determination command) stored in the attached storage area is rewritten to the value stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure holding storage number “2”. Similarly, the overall control CPU 31a associates the value (preliminary determination command) stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure hold memory number “2” with the second special figure hold memory number “3”. Rewrite to the value stored in the stored area. Similarly, the overall control CPU 31a associates the value (preliminary determination command) stored in the storage area associated with the second special figure reservation storage number “3” with the second special figure reservation storage number “4”. Rewrite to the value stored in the stored area.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 31a according to the present embodiment rewrites (shifts) the value stored in the storage area associated with the special figure holding storage number every time the all symbol stop command is input. Thus, the contents of the effect of the second special symbol variation game on hold managed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 can be grasped. More specifically, the predetermination command (that is, the contents of the effect of the symbol variation game) stored by the overall control CPU 31a in association with the second special figure holding memory number is set to the same second special figure holding memory number. Immediately before the start of the symbol variation game based on the second special figure holding memory number, based on the values of the random numbers managed in association with the main control CPU 30a (the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the special figure distribution random number) The design contents of the symbol variation game determined by the main control CPU 30a coincide with each other.

  As described above, the overall control CPU 31a of the present embodiment uses the value (type) of the pre-determination command stored in the overall control RAM 31c to produce the content of the second special symbol variation game during suspension and the content of the production. The special jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) can be specified when “is a jackpot effect”. Thus, in the present embodiment, the overall control RAM 31c that stores the prior determination command functions as a storage unit.

  The overall control CPU 31a erases all the values of the prior determination commands stored in the overall control RAM 31c at the end of the big hit game. Specifically, the overall control CPU 31a stores the memory stored in the storage area associated with each value of the second special figure holding memory number in the overall control RAM 31c within the interval time after the end of the big hit game. All contents are erased (reset).

  Next, a detailed description will be given of a control configuration for the overall control CPU 31a to determine the contents of the effects of the opening effect, the effects of the round effect, and the contents of the effect of the ending effect. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 31a that executes the following processing functions as an effect determining unit.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a jackpot symbol combination consisting of non-specific symbols ([222], [444], [666]) is finalized and displayed as final final symbols in the symbol variation game, As a round effect during the jackpot game that is performed after the end of the symbol variation game, a promotion effect that informs the player whether or not a probable change state is to be given after the end of the current jackpot game is configured to be executable. The promotion effect in the present embodiment is executed in such a manner that a friend character and an opponent character battle each other (battle). And in the promotion effect of the present embodiment, when the ally character finally wins, the player can definitely recognize that the promiscuous state is given after the end of the big hit game, while the ally character is defeated In this case, the player can recognize in a non-deterministic manner that the probability variation state may be given after the big hit game ends. Note that in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the jackpot symbol combination consisting of non-specific symbols is displayed as a fixed symbol in the symbol variation game, when the big hit game is started (the symbol variation game has ended). At the time), it can be said that there is a probability variation non-deterministic production state in which it is not possible to definitely recognize that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game ends. Then, the promotion effect of the present embodiment is a game that promotes from a non-determined production state to a probable-confirmed production state that can be definitely recognized after the jackpot game is finished by executing the promotion production. It can also be understood as directing.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the second special figure start holding ball stored during the big hit game includes the start holding ball that becomes the first probability variation 15R big hit, the promotion effect is given. The ally character can be executed in such a manner as to attack the opponent's character with a “special attack”. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the start holding ball that is the second probability variation 15R big hit is included in the start holding ball, the ally character does not attack the opponent character with a “special attack” Even in this case, in the ending effect, the transition to any one of the above-described high probability suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 is notified. Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the ally character wins the opponent's character in the promotion effect, not only informs the player that the probability change state is given after the big hit game ends, It is possible to inform that the second special figure start holding ball also includes a start holding ball which is a probable 15R big hit. Furthermore, even if the ally character does not win the opponent's character in the promotion effect, or if the ally character does not attack the opponent character with a “special attack”, the ending effect is highly accurate. If the transition to any one of the suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 is informed, it is possible to notify that the start holding ball that is a probable 15R big hit is included in the second special figure start holding ball. It has become.

  In the present embodiment, the effect of attacking the character that the ally character confronts becomes the specific effect, and the effect of transitioning to the high accuracy suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 in the effect and ending of attacking the opponent's character by “special attack”. The effect to notify becomes the notification effect.

First, in the present embodiment, an effect mode during a big hit game when executed including a promotion effect will be described with reference to FIG.
In the big hit game in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 12A, for example, a message image such as “big hit” is displayed to notify the player that the big hit game is started. Opening performance is performed. Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C, after the opening effect is finished, in the first to seventh round games, an image indicating the number of rounds (such as “1R”) or a predetermined character image. Each round effect is performed in a manner such as displaying. In the jackpot game of this embodiment, the promotion effect is started during the round game of the eighth round or the eleventh round. In addition, as shown in FIG.12 (f), when a promotion effect is started from the 11th round, in the round game of the 8th-10th round, it is the same as the round effect of the 1st-7th round. Round production is executed. Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (e), after the promotion effect is started, in the round game of the ninth to eleventh rounds, an image showing a situation where the ally character and the opponent character face each other is displayed. Each round effect is performed by the aspect which cannot recognize the battle | competition result of an ally character and an opponent's character directly.

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

  And as shown in FIG.12 (j), in the ending, the final result of a promotion effect is alert | reported first. More specifically, when an ally character wins as the round effect of the twelfth to fifteenth rounds, a message image for notifying that the ally has won is displayed as a notification of the battle result in the ending effect. The ending effect is performed in the manner of. In addition, when the teammate character is defeated as the round effect of the 12th to 15th rounds, as shown in FIG. The ending effect is performed in a mode in which a message image to be notified is displayed, or in a mode in which a message image informing that the ally is “defeated” is displayed as shown in FIG.

  Also, in the ending, after the final result of the promotion effect is displayed, an image showing the situation where the castle gate opens is displayed as shown in FIG. 12 (n), and then the effect mode set after the end of the big hit game is displayed. Mode notification is performed in such a manner that a message image indicating the type is displayed. More specifically, when the high probability suggestion mode MB is set after the big hit game ends (that is, when the second probability variation 15R big hit or the non-probability variation 15R big win is won), as shown in FIG. 12 (p). Mode notification is performed in such a manner as to display a message image (for example, “high accuracy suggestion mode MB entry!” Or the like) informing that the high accuracy suggestion mode MB is set. Further, when the high probability determination mode MC is set after the big hit game is finished (that is, when the first probability variation 15R big hit is won), the high probability determination mode MC is set as shown in FIG. The mode notification is performed in such a manner that a message image (for example, “high-definition confirmation mode MC entry!”) Is displayed.

Next, processing upon reception of a prior determination command (“DCxxH”) will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not a prior determination command has been received (step S300). If the determination result of step S300 is negative (no prior determination command is input), the overall control CPU 31a ends the process when the prior determination command is received. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S300 is affirmative (a prior determination command has been input), the overall control CPU 31a is a special figure in which the special jackpot symbol designated by the command is classified as “special figure a”. It is determined whether or not there is (step S301). As described above, the prior determination command (“DCxxH”) can specify the value of the special figure distribution random number by the lower byte “xxH”, so refer to the lower byte value of the prior determination command. The type of jackpot given after the end of the symbol variation game can be uniquely identified. Further, when the value of the big hit determination random number acquired in the pre-determination process (FIG. 11) does not coincide with the big hit determination value, the pre-determination command is not generated. Therefore, only when it is determined to be a big hit in the pre-determination process (FIG. 11), a pre-determination command is generated, and only when the command is received, the process shown in FIG. 13 is executed. The overall control CPU 31a is configured to execute a pre-determination process every predetermined control cycle (for example, every 4 ms).

  If the determination result in step S301 is affirmative (special view a), the overall control CPU 31a sets “01H” to the prefetch flag set in the predetermined storage area of the overall control RAM 31c as the prefetch information (step S302), the process at the time of receiving the prior determination command is terminated. Note that the look-ahead flag is a flag that is set when it is determined whether or not it is possible to perform notification of an attack due to a “special attack” or a shift to the high-impact suggestion mode MB4 to MB6 during the big hit game. Yes, “01H” is set when execution is possible, while “00H” is set when execution is not possible. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S301 is negative (not special figure a), the overall control CPU 31a is a special figure in which the special jackpot symbol designated by the prior determination command is classified as "special figure b". It is determined whether or not there is (step S303). If the determination result in step S303 is affirmative (special chart b), the overall control CPU 31a classifies the jackpot symbol of the special chart that is being executed by the jackpot game and that is designated by the prior judgment command as "special chart b". It is determined whether or not it is a special figure (step S304). When the determination result of step S304 is affirmative (during big hit game and special figure b), the process proceeds to step S302. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S303 is negative (not a special figure b), that is, if the jackpot symbol of the special figure specified by the prior determination command is a special figure classified as "special figure c", The control CPU 31a stores “00H (execution failure)” as the prefetch information in the prefetch flag of the overall control RAM 31c (step S305), and ends the process when the prior determination command is received. In addition, when the determination result in step S304 is negative (during the big hit game and not the special figure b), the special figure of the special figure designated by the prior determination command is a special figure classified as "special figure b". However, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S305, stores “00H (execution failure)” in the overall control RAM 31c as the prefetch information, and ends the process at the time of receiving the prior determination command.

  As described above, when the predetermination command designating “special figure a” is input as the predetermination command, the overall control CPU 31a sets “01H (executable) as prefetch information regardless of whether or not the big hit game is being played. ) ". Further, when the predetermination command designating “special figure b” is input as the predetermination command, the overall control CPU 31a receives “01H (executable)” as prefetch information when the command is input during the big hit game execution. "Will be memorized. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 31a has input a pre-determining command that designates “special figure b” as the pre-determining command, but does not input the command during the big hit game execution, and “ When a pre-determination command designating “c” is input, “00H (execution failure)” is stored as the prefetch information.

  In the present embodiment, during the big hit game, it is determined whether or not the second special figure start hold ball includes a start hold ball that is likely to change 15R big hit. The start holding ball is easily memorized when the variable state is given. In the present embodiment, a variable state is given when a big hit is won. Therefore, even if the lottery probability state before the big hit game is in the high probability lottery state or the low probability lottery state, the process shown in FIG. 13 is executed. However, in the present embodiment, when the type of jackpot is taken into consideration, when the low probability lottery state is set, it is unlikely that the second special figure starting holding ball excluding the variation is stored with high probability. . Therefore, when the winning probability game is in the high probability lottery state before the start of the big hit game, during the execution of the winning game, the notification that the game will shift to the high probability suggestion modes MB4 to MB6. Is likely to be executed.

Next, the jackpot round process executed when determining the contents of effects performed in each round game for each decoration will be described with reference to FIG.
In the big hit round process, the general control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the general control RAM 31c when the opening command is input from the main control CPU 30a, and finally, in the last big hit symbol variation game. The type of decorative figure determined as the confirmed symbol to be confirmed and stopped is confirmed (step S310). Then, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to various jackpot processing in accordance with the type of decorative drawing (specific symbol or non-specific symbol) that has been read (step S311).

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

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the promotion effect table TG, the effect contents of the promotion effect are associated with each type of jackpot symbol of the special figure, and for the promotion effect distribution for each effect content of the promotion effect. A predetermined number of random number values (a total of 113 random values from 0 to 112) are associated with each other. In FIG. 15, “8R” indicates the eighth round, and “11R” indicates the eleventh round.

  Specifically, in the promotion effect table TG, the symbols A and a are associated with “No Battle”, “Battle Start from 8R”, and “Battle Start from 11R” as the effect contents of the promotion effect. Yes. In the present embodiment, the effect content “No Battle” indicates that no promotion effect is performed as a round effect, and the effect content “Start Battle from 8R” indicates that the promotion effect is executed and the promotion effect is displayed in the eighth round. It shows starting from a round game. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect content “start battle from 11R” indicates that the promotion effect is executed and the promotion effect is started from the round game of the eleventh round. In the promotion effect table TG, the symbols B and b, and the symbols C and c are associated with “no battle” and “battle start from 8R” as the effect contents of the promotion effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, by determining the contents of the promotion effect based on the promotion effect table TG, it is possible to execute the promotion effect at the same time as determining whether the promotion effect can be executed or not (that is, whether or not to execute). The starting round can be determined.

  Then, in the promotion effect table TG, 11 promotion random numbers for promotion effect are assigned to the effect content of “no battle” associated with symbol A and symbol a. The value of 100 promotion effect distribution random numbers is assigned to the content of the effect “start battle from 11R”, and 2 values of promotion effect distribution random numbers are assigned. In addition, the content of “No Battle” associated with symbol B and symbol b, and symbol C and symbol c is the value of 105 promotion effect distribution random numbers, and “the battle starts from 8R”. 8 are assigned random numbers for distribution of promotion effects.

  In the present embodiment, from such a distribution aspect of the value of random numbers for promotion effect distribution in the promotion effect table TG, the special bonus jackpot symbol is symbol A or symbol a and the confirmed symbol is a non-specific symbol. In this case, execution of the promotion effect is determined with a probability of 102/113 (90.3%). On the other hand, execution of the promotion effect is determined with a probability of 11/113 (9.7%). In other words, in the present embodiment, when the jackpot symbol of the special figure is the symbol A or the symbol a and the confirmed symbol is a non-specific symbol, the execution of the promotion effect is determined rather than the promotion effect cannot be executed. It is configured easily. In the present embodiment, when the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol B, symbol b, symbol C, or symbol c, the execution of the promotion effect is determined with a probability of 8/113 (7.1%). On the other hand, execution of the promotion effect is determined with a probability of 105/113 (93.0%). That is, in this embodiment, when the big hit symbol of the special figure is the symbol B, the symbol b, the symbol C, or the symbol c, it is configured that it is easier to determine that the promotion effect cannot be executed than the promotion effect can be executed. In the present embodiment, when the confirmed symbol is a non-specific symbol and the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol A or symbol a, the special symbol jackpot symbol is symbol B, symbol b, symbol C, Or it is easier to determine whether the promotion effect can be executed (that is, “Battle start from 8R” or “Battle start from 11R”) as compared to the case of symbol c.

  Next, the ending selection table TH without a battle stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The ending selection table TH when there is no battle is a table that is referred to when the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the promotion effect, that is, when determining the effect content of the ending effect when “no battle” is determined. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the ending selection table TH when there is no battle, it is determined whether or not the probability variation 15R big hit is included in the second special figure start holding ball, that is, “01H (executable)” as the pre-reading information. Is stored, and each of the ending patterns E1 to E13 indicating the specific content of the ending effect is associated with each combination of the types of jackpot symbols of the special drawing.

  The ending pattern E1 indicates the castle gate T1 as the type of castle gate, and shows the production content that notifies the “highly accurate confirmation mode MC” as the mode notification. The ending pattern E2 indicates the castle gate T2 as the type of castle gate, The contents of the effect of informing the “highly accurate confirmation mode MC” as the mode notification are shown. Further, the ending patterns E3 to E5 indicate the contents of the effect of instructing the gate T1 as the type of the gate and notifying the “highly suggestion mode MB1” to the “highly accurate suggestion mode MB3” as the mode notification. In addition, the ending pattern E6 indicates the gate T2 as the type of the castle gate, and the contents of the effect of notifying the “highly suggestive mode MB2” as the mode notification, and the ending pattern E7 indicates the castle gate T2 as the type of the castle gate. In addition, the contents of the effect of notifying “highly suggestive mode MB3” as mode notification are shown.

  Further, the ending patterns E8 to E10 indicate the contents of the effect of instructing the castle gate T1 as the type of the castle gate and notifying the “highly accurate suggestion mode MB4” to the “highly accurate suggestion mode MB6” as mode notifications. Further, the ending patterns E11 to E13 indicate the contents of the effect of instructing the castle gate T2 as the type of the castle gate and notifying “highly accurate suggestion mode MB4” to “highly accurate suggestion mode MB6” as mode notifications, respectively.

  Then, in the ending selection table TH when there is no battle, whether or not the probability change 15R big hit is included in the starting hold ball for each ending pattern, that is, “01H (executable)” is stored as the pre-read information. And a predetermined number of random numbers for ending pattern distribution are distributed for each type of jackpot symbol of the special figure. Specifically, in the ending selection table TH when there is no battle, “01H (executable)” is not stored as pre-read information, and the big hit symbol (special symbol) when winning the big hit lottery is the symbol A , A, 147 random numbers are assigned to the ending pattern E1, and 80 random values are assigned to the ending pattern E2. In addition, in the ending selection table TH when there is no battle, “01H (executable)” is not stored as prefetch information, and the big hit symbol (special symbol) when winning the big hit lottery is the symbol B, b In the ending pattern E3, 77 random numbers are assigned, and in the ending pattern E4, 60 random values are assigned. Further, when “01H (executable)” is not stored as the pre-read information, and the big hit symbol (special symbol) when winning the big hit lottery is the symbols B and b, the ending pattern E5 includes 30 random numbers. For the numerical values, 40 random numbers are assigned to the ending pattern E6, and 20 random values are assigned to the ending pattern E7.

  In addition, in the ending selection table TH when there is no battle, “01H (executable)” is not stored as the pre-read information, and the big hit symbol (special symbol) when winning the big hit lottery is the symbol C, c The ending pattern E3 is assigned 203 random numbers, and the ending pattern E4 is assigned 16 random values. Furthermore, when “01H (executable)” is not stored as the pre-reading information, and the jackpot symbol (special symbol) at the time of winning the jackpot lottery is symbols C and c, the ending pattern E5 has three random numbers. A numerical value is assigned to the ending pattern E6, four random numbers, and the ending pattern E7 is assigned one random value.

  On the other hand, in the ending selection table TH when there is no battle, “01H (executable)” is stored as the pre-reading information, and when the big hit symbol (special figure) when winning the big hit lottery is the symbol B, b, The values of the promotion pattern distribution random numbers are distributed so that any one of the ending patterns E8 to E13 is selected.

  In the present embodiment, from the distribution mode of the random value in the ending selection table TH when there is no battle, when the start holding ball that is a probable 15R big hit is not included in the second special figure start holding ball, that is, When “01H (executable)” is not stored as the pre-read information, the game shifts to the high-accuracy determination mode MC only when the jackpot symbol (special symbol) when winning the jackpot lottery is symbol A, a. . In addition, since “no battle” is selected, no battle effect is performed. In addition, when “01H (executable)” is not stored as pre-reading information, and the jackpot symbol (special symbol) when winning the jackpot lottery is symbol B, b, C, c, the type and transition of the castle gate Even if the previous production mode is visually recognized, it is not possible to know whether the second probability variation 15R big hit or the non-probability variation 15R big hit is won. However, in the case of winning the second probability variation 15R big hit (symbols B, b) than when winning the non-probable variation 15R big hit (symbols C, c), the high probability suggestion mode MB2 or high probability There is a high probability of shifting to the suggestion mode MB3.

  In addition, when “01H (executable)” is stored as the pre-reading information, and the big hit symbol (special drawing) when winning the big hit lottery is the symbols B and b, the pre-reading information is used as the transition destination effect mode. When “01H (executable)” is not stored, any one of the high-impact suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 that is not selected is selected. For this reason, when "High accuracy suggestion mode MB4 (or high accuracy suggestion mode MB5, MB6) has entered!" Is displayed, it is visually confirmed that the probability variation 15R big hit is included in the second special figure start holding ball. Can be made. In addition, when “01H (executable)” is stored as the pre-reading information, and the jackpot symbol (special symbol) when winning the jackpot lottery is the symbol A, a, C, c, the pre-reading information is “ The same ending pattern as when “01H (executable)” is not stored is selected.

  Next, the round selection table TI stored in the overall control ROM 31b will be described with reference to FIG. The round selection table TI is a table that is referred to when the overall control CPU 31a determines the content of the eighth round of production when it is determined to start the promotion production from the round game of the eighth round.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the round selection table TI is associated with one of the round patterns R1 and R2 for specifying the specific contents of the round game of the eighth round for each special jackpot symbol. ing.

  The round pattern R1 indicates the castle gate T1 as the type of castle gate, and the round pattern R2 indicates the castle gate T2 as the type of castle gate. In the round selection table TI, a predetermined number of round pattern distribution random numbers are assigned to each round pattern for each type of jackpot symbol of the special figure. Specifically, in the round selection table TI, when the jackpot symbol (special symbol) at the time of winning the jackpot lottery is symbol A, a, the round pattern R1 has 80 promotion pattern distribution random number values. The round pattern R2 is assigned 21 promotion pattern distribution random numbers. Further, in the round selection table TI, when the jackpot symbol (special symbol) when winning the jackpot lottery is symbols B, b, C, c, the round pattern R1 has 96 promotion pattern distribution random number values. In the round pattern R2, five promotion pattern distribution random numbers are distributed.

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

  As shown in FIG. 18, the promotion pattern table TJ of the present embodiment includes a promotion pattern that can specify the contents of the production from the start of the promotion effect to the ending effect, including whether or not the ally character wins. Four types of promotion patterns, that is, pattern UP1, promotion pattern UP2, promotion pattern UP3, and promotion pattern UP4 are associated with each other. The promotion pattern UP1 is a pattern of successful promotion in which an ally character first attacks the opponent character and the ally character wins as it is. Further, the promotion pattern UP2 is a pattern of successful promotion in which the opponent character first strikes the ally character and the ally character is defeated once, but reverse wins in the ending effect. Further, the promotion pattern UP3 and the promotion pattern UP4 are patterns of promotion failure in which the opponent character first attacks the ally character and the ally character is defeated as it is. In addition, in the promotion pattern UP3, during the ending production, a mode notification that the high probability determination mode MC is set is made so that it is possible to definitely recognize that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished. It becomes a pattern of the promotion success substantially. In the present embodiment, the promotion pattern UP4 is the first pattern, and the promotion patterns UP1 to UP2 are the second pattern.

  In the promotion pattern table TJ, a predetermined number of promotion pattern sorting random numbers are assigned to the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4 for each type of special bonus jackpot symbol. More specifically, in the promotion pattern table TJ, when the jackpot symbol (special symbol) when winning the jackpot lottery is symbol A, a, the promotion pattern UP1 has 100 random numbers and the promotion pattern UP2 has Twenty random numbers, 17 random values are assigned to the promotion pattern UP3, and 0 random values are assigned to the promotion pattern UP4. Further, in the promotion pattern table TJ, when the jackpot symbol (special symbol) at the time of winning the jackpot lottery is symbols B, b, C, c, the promotion patterns UP1 to UP3 have 0 random numbers and the promotion pattern UP4. Are assigned 137 random values.

  When the symbols A and a are determined as jackpot symbols (special symbols) from the distribution mode of the random numbers for promotion pattern distribution in the promotion pattern table TJ of the present embodiment, 120/137 (87. While a promotion success pattern is selected with a probability of 6%), a promotion failure pattern is selected with a probability of 17/137 (12.4%). Further, when the promotion pattern UP3 that is substantially the promotion success pattern is regarded as the promotion success pattern, when the symbol A or the symbol a is determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), 137/137 (100.0) %) Probability of promotion success pattern is selected. On the other hand, the promotion failure pattern is selected (ie, not selected) with a probability of 0/137 (0.0%). That is, when the symbols A and a are determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), it is easier to select the promotion success pattern than the promotion failure pattern.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when symbols B, b, C, and c are determined as jackpot symbols of the special symbol, a pattern of successful promotion is selected with a probability of 0/137 (0.0%). The pattern of promotion failure is selected with a probability of 137/137 (100.0%). That is, when symbols B, b, C, and c are determined as jackpot symbols (special symbols), the promotion success pattern is not selected, and the promotion failure pattern is always selected. In this embodiment, when the symbols A and a are determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol), the symbols B, b, C, and c are determined as the jackpot symbol (special symbol). Thus, it is easier to select the promotion success pattern than the promotion failure pattern. Therefore, in this embodiment, when a big hit (symbols B, b, C, c) in which the high-definition confirmation mode is not set as the effect mode after the big hit game is won, while selecting a pattern of promotion failure, When winning the big hit (symbol A, a) for which the high-accuracy confirmation mode is set after the completion, the pattern of successful promotion is selected.

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

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the content distribution table TK, detailed effect contents of the promotion effect are associated with each of the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4. More specifically, in the content distribution table TK, “01H (executable)” is stored in the promotion pattern UP1 as pre-reading information, and “the ally character is“ weak skill ”. The production content that “attacks and wins” is associated with the production content that “a friendly character attacks and wins with [medium skill]”. Furthermore, the promotion pattern UP1 is also associated with the content of the effect that “a character of the team attacks and wins with [special attack]”. Further, regardless of whether “01H (executable)” is stored as the prefetch information in the content distribution table TK, the promotion patterns UP2 and UP4 indicate that “the opponent character is attacked with [weak skill]. Then, the effect content that the ally character is defeated and the effect content that the opponent character attacks with [strong skill] and the ally character is defeated are associated with each other. It should be noted that the promotion pattern UP3 is associated with only the effect contents that “the opponent character attacks and the ally character loses”.

  In the content distribution table TK, a predetermined number of content distribution random numbers are distributed for each detailed effect content of the promotion effect associated with each of the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4. In the present embodiment, “01H (executable)” is stored as the prefetch information from the distribution mode of the random number for content distribution in the content distribution table TK, and the promotion pattern UP1 is determined. Is selected so that only the contents of the direction where the ally character attacks and wins with [special attack] is selected. On the other hand, when “00H (execution failure)” is stored as the pre-reading information and the promotion pattern UP1 is determined, “the ally character attacks with [weak skill] and wins” or “the ally character is The production content “attack and win in“ middle technique ”” is selected. Further, in the present embodiment, when the promotion pattern UP2 is determined, it is easy to select the production content that “the opponent character attacks and loses with [weak skill]”, while the promotion pattern UP4. Is determined, it is easy to select the production content that “the opponent character attacks and loses with [strong skill]”.

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

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the ending selection table TL when there is a battle, the effect contents of the promotion effect (promotion patterns UP1 to UP4) and whether or not “01H (executable)” is stored as the prefetch information, Any of the ending patterns E20 to E30 showing the specific content of the ending effect is associated with each combination with the special jackpot symbol of the special figure when winning the big hit lottery.

  The ending pattern E20 indicates the content of the effect of notifying “win” as the final result of the promotion effect and notifying “highly determined mode MC” as the mode notification. The ending patterns E21 to E23 show the contents of the effect of notifying the “reversal victory” as the final result of the promotion effect after the characters K2 to K4 appear and notifying the “high-confirmation confirmation mode MC” as the mode notification. Yes. The ending pattern E24 indicates the content of the effect of notifying “defeat” as the final result of the promotion effect and notifying “highly determined mode MC” as the mode notification. The ending patterns E25 to E27 indicate “ The contents of the effect of notifying “defeat” and notifying “highly suggestive modes MB1 to MB3” as mode notifications are shown. Further, the ending patterns E28 to E30 indicate the contents of the effect of notifying “defeat” as the final result of the promotion effect and notifying “highly suggestive mode MB4 to MB6” as the mode notification, respectively.

  In the ending selection table TL, the ending pattern E20 is associated with the combination of the promotion pattern UP1 and the jackpot symbol (special symbol) symbols A and a. Further, in the ending selection table TL when there is a battle, there are ending patterns E22 and E23 for the combination of the promotion pattern UP2, “01H (executable)” as prefetch information, and the symbols A and a of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). It is associated. In addition, in the ending selection table TL when there is a battle, only the ending pattern E21 corresponds to the combination of the promotion pattern UP2, “00H (execution failure)” as prefetch information, and the symbols A and a of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). It is attached.

  In the ending selection table TL when there is a battle, the ending pattern E24 is associated with the combination of the promotion pattern UP3 and the symbols A and a of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). In addition, in the ending selection table TL when there is a battle, there is an ending pattern for the combination of the promotion pattern UP4, “00H (execution failure)” as prefetch information, and the symbols B, b, C, and c of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) E25 to E27 are associated with each other. In addition, in the ending selection table TL when there is a battle, the ending patterns E28 to E30 are obtained by combining the promotion pattern UP4, “01H (executable)” as the pre-reading information, and the symbols B and b of the jackpot symbol (special symbol). It is associated. That is, when the promotion pattern UP4 is selected, the ending effect does not notify whether or not the big hit will be a probable 15R big hit, but the start hold that becomes the probable 15R big hit in the second special figure start hold ball It is only informed that a sphere is included.

  As described above, in the ending selection table TL when there is a battle in the present embodiment, “01H (executable)” is used as the type and look-ahead information of the jackpot symbol (special symbol) in the symbol variation game performed immediately before the jackpot game. The ending pattern including the mode notification for notifying the effect mode corresponding to the jackpot symbol (type of jackpot) is selected by selecting the associated ending pattern according to whether it is stored or not. It has become. In particular, when the promotion pattern UP3 is selected, the ally character is defeated in the promotion effect during the round game up to the fifteenth round, and “defeat” is notified as the final result of the promotion effect in the ending effect, The fact that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished is not surely notified. However, in the present embodiment, after the final result of the promotion effect is notified, the notification that the “highly certain mode MC” is set is always made.

  Next, the non-specific symbol jackpot process for determining the effect content of the round effect and the effect content of the ending effect when the confirmed symbol read by the overall control CPU 31a is a non-specific symbol will be described with reference to FIG.

  The overall control CPU 31a shows the case where the type of decoration read in the big hit round process (FIG. 14) is a non-specific symbol (any one of [222], [444], and [666]), as shown in FIG. Non-specific symbol jackpot processing is executed.

  Then, the overall control CPU 31a checks the current number of rounds based on the input round command in the non-specific symbol jackpot processing (step S320). The overall control CPU 31a acquires various random number values stored in the overall control RAM 31c at the start of the first round game. Then, the overall control CPU 31a checks whether or not the round game specified by the round command is the first round game (step S321). If the determination result in step S321 is affirmative (the first round game), the overall control CPU 31a selects the promotion effect table TG shown in FIG. Then, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the promotion effect table TG, and based on the type of jackpot symbol of the special figure when winning the jackpot lottery, and the value of the promotion effect distribution random number obtained, (Procedure of execution of promotion effect and start round of promotion effect to be executed) are determined (step S322). Thereby, when the big hit game is started, the presence / absence of the promotion effect and the start round of the promotion effect are determined in the first round game. Then, when executing the promotion effect, the main control CPU 30a stores the promotion effect start round determined based on the promotion effect table TG (FIG. 15) in the overall control RAM 31c.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S321 is negative (not the first round game), the overall control CPU 31a determines that the current round game is a specific round (this embodiment) based on the input round command. Then, it is determined whether it is the twelfth round) (step S323).

  If the determination result of step S323 is affirmative (the 12th round), the overall control CPU 31a executes the battle process shown in FIG. 22 (step S324). On the other hand, if the determination result of step S323 is negative (second to eleventh, thirteenth to fifteenth rounds), the overall control CPU 31a executes normal processing (step S325). The normal process refers to a process of executing an effect (for example, character introduction) that is not related to the promotion effect for the first to seventh round games. In the round games after the eighth round, When the execution of the promotion effect is determined, a process for executing the effect based on the content defined in the promotion pattern is shown. For example, if “battle start from 8R” is stored in the overall control RAM 31c, the overall control CPU 31a inputs the round command designating the eighth round game, and in the immediately preceding symbol variation game One round pattern is determined from the round selection table TI shown in FIG. 17 based on the type of jackpot symbol of the special figure and the value of the random number for round pattern distribution.

  The overall control CPU 31a, when the type of decoration determined as the confirmed symbol is a probability variable symbol ([111], [333], [555], or [777]), the opening effect for the probability variable symbol. Determine the content of the production. In addition, every time the first to fifteenth round commands are input, the overall control CPU 31a determines an effect content for a probable variation pattern that is different from the effect content of the promotion effect as the effect content of the round effect. When the ending command is input, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the information stored in the overall control RAM 31c, and the special symbol jackpot symbol (stop symbol) designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. Check the type. Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines the content of the ending effect based on the confirmed special jackpot symbol type and the content of the “no promotion effect” effect.

  In addition, when the CPU 31a for overall control determines “no battle” in step S322, the content of the promotion effect as the effect content of the round effect every time each round command from the first to the 15th round is input. Determines the contents of the production for different non-specific symbols.

Next, the battle process performed when determining the content of the battle effect will be described with reference to FIG.
In the battle process, the overall control CPU 31a reads the prefetch information set in step S302 or S305 in FIG. 13 from the overall control RAM 31c and confirms the information (step S330). Whether the pre-read information read from the general control RAM 31c is information indicating that “01H (executable)” is being executed, and the general control CPU 31a is executing a big hit game based on winning of the first probability variation 15R big hit. It is determined whether or not (step S331). In addition to the processing shown in step S330, the overall control CPU 31a performs the promotion pattern table TJ shown in FIG. 18 based on the type of special bonus jackpot and the value of the promotion pattern distribution random number in the previous symbol variation game. One of the promotion patterns is determined from among the above.

  If the determination result in step S331 is affirmative (the prefetch information is “01H (executable)” and the jackpot game is based on winning the first probability variation 15R jackpot), the overall control CPU 31a performs the content allocation shown in FIG. With reference to the minute table TK, “special attack” is selected (step S332). Specifically, the promotion pattern UP1 is selected when the jackpot symbol of the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command in the previous symbol variation game is the special symbol A, a, and “01H (executable)” is used as the prefetch information. When “” is set, random numbers are distributed so that “special attack” is always selected, so “special attack” is always selected. On the other hand, the determination result of step S331 is negative (the prefetch information is “00H (execution failure)” or the prefetch information is “01H (executable)”, but during the big hit game based on the winning of the first probability variation 15R big hit. In the case of “No”, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the content distribution table TK shown in FIG. 19 and determines the production content of the promotion effect according to the promotion pattern (step S333). Specifically, when the promotion pattern UP1 is selected and the prefetch information is “00H (execution rejected)”, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the content distribution table TK shown in FIG. Select "Attack" or "Medium Attack". Specifically, when the promotion pattern UP1 is selected and the prefetch information is “00H (execution failure)”, the random value is assigned only to “weak attack” or “strong attack”. "Cannot be selected. Even when the selected promotion pattern is not the promotion pattern UP1, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the content distribution table TK shown in FIG. 19 and promotes according to the type of promotion pattern and the distribution value of random numbers. The content of the effect is determined (step S333). Thereafter, the overall control CPU 31a sets a designation command for designating each selected pattern in the overall control RAM 31c, and ends the battle process.

  As described above, when the prefetch information is “01H (executable)” and the promotion pattern UP1 is selected, the “special attack” (FIG. 19) is selected, so that the promotion effect is executed with the content of the effect. In such a case, it can be visually recognized that the probability variation 15R big hit is included in the second special figure starting and holding ball. Further, as described in FIG. 13, in step S303, when the jackpot symbol of the special chart specified by the prior determination command during the jackpot game is a special chart classified as “special chart b”, “01H (executable)” is set. Therefore, after winning the probability variation 15R big hit, a start pending ball that is a non-probable variation 15R big hit is included until the upper limit number of start pending balls ("4" in this embodiment) is executed. In this case, the promotion effect is not executed in the “special attack”. As a result, it was informed that a big hit was included in the second special figure start holding ball during the big hit game based on the symbol variation game with the probability variation 15R big hit, but the second special figure start was started after the big hit game ended. It is no longer possible to win the non-probability 15R jackpot in the symbol variation game within the upper limit of the number of reserved balls, and the probability variation state will not end.

  In addition, during the big hit game, the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a low probability lottery state. And, for example, suppose that when the lottery probability state of the big hit lottery is in a high probability lottery state, the player wins an uncertain variable 15R big hit. Then, it is assumed that the value of the big hit determination random number stored in association with the second special figure starting holding ball stored before the start of the big hit game based on the winning of the non-probability variable 15R big hit is “30”. . In this case, the value “30” of the jackpot determination random number is a random value determined to be a jackpot when the lottery is in the high probability lottery state. However, if the big hit determination is executed immediately before the start of the symbol variation game after the big hit game is ended based on the fact that the non-probable change 15R big win is won, the low probability lottery state is set after the big hit game is ended. Therefore, the value “30” of the big hit determination random number is a random value determined to be out of order when the low probability lottery state is set, and therefore the determination result of the big hit determination differs before and after the big hit game. . Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when “00H (execution failure)” is stored as the pre-read information during the execution of the big hit game based on the big hit won when the probability variation state is given, , So that the notification effect is not executed.

Next, the ending process executed when determining the contents of the ending effect will be described with reference to FIG.
In the ending process, the overall control CPU 31a executes the ending process when the ending effect is started, that is, when an ending command is input from the main control CPU 30a. Then, in the ending process, the overall control CPU 31a reads the prefetch information set in step S302 or S305 in FIG. 13 from the overall control RAM 31c and confirms the information (step S340). Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the pre-read information read from the overall control RAM 31c is information indicating “01H (executable)” (step S341). If the determination result in step S341 is affirmative (the prefetch information is “01H (executable)”), the overall control CPU 31a refers to FIG. 16 or FIG. 20 and reads the prefetch information based on the value of the ending pattern distribution random number. Is the information indicating “01H (executable)”, an ending pattern that can be selected is determined (step S342).

  Specifically, when “no battle” is determined at the start of the first round game, a special symbol designation is made in the immediately preceding symbol variation game from the ending selection table TH at the time of no battle shown in FIG. The ending pattern is selected depending on the type of jackpot symbol specified by the command and whether or not “01H (executable)” is set as the prefetch information. If “01H (executable)” is set as the pre-read information, the special symbol jackpot symbol designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game is the special symbol B or b. Only the high suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 can be selected.

  Also, if “start battle from 8R” or “start battle from 11R” is determined at the start of the first round game, the previous symbol from the ending selection table TL when there is a battle shown in FIG. The ending pattern is selected according to the type of special jackpot symbol specified by the special symbol designation command in the floating game, whether or not “01H (executable)” is set as the prefetch information, and the type of promotion pattern Is done. When the promotion pattern UP1 is selected, the high-accuracy confirmation mode MC is selected only when the big hit symbol of the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game is the special symbol A, a. It is possible. In addition, when the promotion pattern UP2 is selected, the high-accuracy confirmation mode MC is selected only when the big hit symbol of the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game is the special symbol A, a. It is possible. In addition, when the promotion pattern UP3 is selected, the high-accuracy confirmation mode MC is selected only when the big hit symbol of the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game is the special symbol A, a. It is possible. When “01H (executable)” is set as the pre-read information and the promotion pattern UP4 is selected, the special symbol jackpot symbol designated by the special symbol designation command in the immediately preceding symbol variation game is displayed. The high accuracy suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 can be selected only in the case of the special drawings B and b.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S341 is negative (the look-ahead information is “00H (execution failure)”), the overall control CPU 31a refers to FIG. 16 or FIG. 20 based on the value of the ending pattern distribution random number. An ending pattern that can be selected when the pre-read information is information indicating "00H (execution failure)" is determined (step S343). Specifically, when “no battle” is determined at the start of the first round game, and “00H (execution failure)” is set as the prefetch information, a special game in the immediately preceding symbol variation game is performed. Even if the jackpot symbol of the special figure designated by the symbol designation command is the special figure B or b, one of the high-accuracy suggestion modes MB1 to MB3 is selected, and the high-accuracy suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 are not selected. It has become. In addition, when “execution of promotion effect” is determined, but “00H (execution rejected)” is set as the prefetch information and the promotion pattern UP2 is selected, a special symbol is displayed in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. The high-accuracy confirmation mode MC can be selected only when the big hit symbol of the special figure designated by the designated command is the special figure A, a. In addition, when “execution of promotion effect” is determined, but “00H (execution failure)” is set as the prefetch information and the promotion pattern UP4 is selected, a special symbol is displayed in the immediately preceding symbol variation game. When the jackpot symbol of the special figure designated by the designated command is the special figure B, b, C, c, the high probability suggestion modes MB1 to MB3 can be selected. Thereafter, the overall control CPU 31a sets a designation command for designating each selected pattern in the overall control RAM 31c, and ends the battle process.

  As described above, when the pre-read information is “01H (executable)” and the promotion pattern UP4 is selected, the “special attack” is not executed, and the promotion effect is executed with the content that the ally character loses. The However, in the ending effect, any one of the high-accuracy suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 that is set only when the start holding ball that is likely to change 15R big hit is included in the second special figure start holding ball is selected. It has become. Therefore, even if a special attack is not executed during the big hit game, when any one of the high suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 is notified in the ending effect, the second special figure start holding ball It can be visually recognized that the probability variation 15R big hit is included. In the present embodiment, in the ending effect, the effect for notifying that the mode is shifted to any one of the high suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 is the special notification effect.

  When the display control CPU 32a inputs from the overall control CPU 31a a designation command for specifying the production contents to be executed during the round production and the ending production, the contents designated by the designation command (execution content and production are executed). The display content of the effect display device 22 is controlled so that the promotion effect and the ending effect are executed according to the round to be performed. The display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 22 so as to cause the “special attack” attack to be executed in the 15th round game.

Next, the execution mode of the promotion effect during the big hit game will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 24 (a) shows a mode of notifying that the probability variation 15R big hit is included in the second special figure start holding ball by executing a special attack, and FIG. 24 (b) shows the second special figure start hold. The mode which notifies by the ending effect that the probability variation 15R big hit is included in the sphere is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 24 (a), when the probability variation state is given and the value of the second special figure reservation storage number is “2”, it is assumed that the first probability variation 15R big hit (symbol a) is won. . In this case, the big hit game is started after the end of the symbol variation game (time point a1). Then, in the first round game, it is determined that “battle starts at 11R”. Thereafter, the round game is executed in order from the first round game, the game ball is won at the second starting winning opening 26 by the fifth round, and the value of the second special figure holding memory number is set to “3”. Suppose (time a2).

  Further, it is assumed that it is determined as “first probability variation 15R big hit” in the pre-determination process (FIG. 11) at the time when the second special figure starting reservation ball of the third ball wins. In this case, if the overall control CPU 31a has selected the promotion pattern UP1 as the promotion pattern, the pre-read information is read from the overall control RAM 31c at the start of the 12th round, and “01H (executable)” is set as the information. Based on what is set, “special attack” is selected. Thereby, in the round game of the 15th round, the effect that the ally character attacks the opponent's character with the “special attack” is executed (time point a3), and the player starts the second special figure according to the content of the effect. It will be recognized that the probability variation 15R jackpot is included in the holding ball. Then, after the big hit game is finished, the symbol change game that is out of place is executed in the first and second symbol change games, but after the big hit game is finished, in the third symbol change game, the symbol change game that becomes a big hit is At the same time, after the end of the big hit game executed after the end of the third symbol variation game, the probability change state is given again (time point a4). And when a game is executed in such a flow, in addition to the current big hit being the first probability variation 15R big hit, the second special figure start hold ball also includes a start hold ball that will be a positive variation 15R big hit. This can be confirmed.

  In FIG. 24B, it is assumed that the probability variation state is given and the second probability variation 15R jackpot (symbol b) is won when the value of the second special figure holding storage number is “2”. In this case, the big hit game is started after the end of the symbol variation game (time point b1). Then, in the first round game, it is determined that “battle start at 8R” is determined. Thereafter, the round game is executed in order from the round game of the first round, the game ball does not win the second start winning opening 26 by the thirteenth round, and the second game is executed during the execution of the round game of the thirteenth round. It is assumed that one game ball is won at the start winning opening 26 and the value of the second special figure holding memory number becomes “3” (time point b2). Further, it is assumed that it is determined as “second probability variation 15R big hit” in the pre-determination process (FIG. 11) at the time when the second special figure starting reservation ball of the third ball wins.

  In this case, if the overall control CPU 31a selects the promotion pattern UP4 as the promotion pattern, the pre-read information is read from the overall control RAM 31c at the start of the ending effect, and “01H (executable)” is set as the information. Based on the fact, one of the high suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 is selected. As a result, it is informed that the transition to any one of the high suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 is made in the ending effect (time point b3), and according to the content of the effect, the player is in the second special figure start holding ball. It is recognized that the probability variation 15R jackpot is included in. Then, after the big hit game is finished, the symbol change game that is out of place is executed in the first and second symbol change games, but after the big hit game is finished, in the third symbol change game, the symbol change game that becomes a big hit is At the same time, after the end of the big hit game executed after the end of the third symbol variation game, the probability change state is given again (time point b4).

As described above, according to the above embodiment, the following operational effects can be achieved.
(1) When winning the big hit lottery, the big hit prefetch is performed among the game balls stored during the big hit. As a result, when the start hold ball that is a big hit is included in the start hold ball, the fact that the player has a strong desire to know in advance (in this embodiment, the second special figure start hold) Notification effect (in this embodiment, an attack caused by a “special attack” or a notification indicating the transition to the high accuracy suggestion mode MB4 to MB6) ) To sufficiently enhance the interest of the player. At this time, for example, even if the start hold ball that is a big hit is included in the start hold ball, for example, the fact that the next big hit becomes the non-probable change 15R big hit even though the probability change 15R big hit is obtained. If the notification is made by the effect, it is equivalent to notifying the end of the probability change state that is easy to win the big hit lottery, and the interest of the player is lowered. As a result, the start suspension for identifying the symbol variation game that becomes the big hit (in this embodiment, when the probability variation state is given, winning the probability variation 15R big hit) in which the number of jackpot determination values after the big hit game is not reduced is reduced. When the ball is included, it is possible to give a sense of security that the big hit is continuously given by executing the notification effect.

  (2) When a start holding ball that will be a 15R jackpot will be included in the second special figure start holding ball, after the big hit game is finished, a symbol variation game that will be a 15R jackpot will be executed in the start holding ball. It is possible to give a sense of security more than when playing a game without knowing when to win the big hit next time.

  (3) When the probability variation state is granted, the winning variation is 15R big hit, and the second special figure starting suspension ball in the big hit game based on the winning to the certain probability variation 15R big hit is the start pending that becomes the certain variation 15R big hit When a sphere is included, the execution of the notification effect is determined. Thereby, since the lottery probability state before and after the big hit game becomes the high probability lottery state, it is possible to give a sense of security that the high probability lottery state continues.

  (4) Since the notification effect is executed in a specific round game (the 12th round game in the present embodiment) during the big hit game, multiple round games are made so that the big hit game can acquire a large number of prize balls. It is no longer a monotonous game repetitive game, but it is possible to focus attention on the contents of the performance in a specific round game.

  (5) If the winning 15R jackpot is won, even if a “defeat” that is disadvantageous to the player is notified based on the promotion pattern UP4, the mode is shifted to one of the high suggestion modes MB4 to MB6 during the ending. Since it is possible to notify the fact that it will be performed, even after “defeat” is notified based on the promotion pattern UP4, it is expected that the probability change 15R jackpot is included in the second special figure starting hold ball be able to.

  (6) The execution mode of the notification effect of whether or not the symbol variation game that is a big hit is included in the second special figure start holding ball during the big hit game is a specific round game (the 12th round in this embodiment) The round of game) differs depending on whether or not a game ball winning is detected by the second start winning opening 26 before the start of the round game.

  (7) By setting promotion patterns UP2 and UP3, even if a “defeat” that is disadvantageous to the player is notified, there is an expectation that the immediately preceding symbol variation game is a probability variation 15R jackpot Can be made.

  (8) By setting the battle start rounds to the 8th and 11th rounds, the production mode can be diversified and promoted to a 15% jackpot depending on the battle start round. The rate can be changed and attention can be paid to the battle start round.

  (9) Since it is notified during the big hit game that the second special figure start hold ball contains a start hold ball that will be a promising 15R big hit, digest at least the symbol variation game in the start hold ball Since it is a big hit, it can give the player a sense of security.

  (10) In the pachinko gaming machine 10 using the special symbol 1 and the special symbol 2, when a pre-judgment command related to the special symbol 2 is input, a start that becomes a positive 15R big hit in the second special figure start holding ball during the big hit game Announcing that a holding ball is included. In the present embodiment, the second special symbol variation game is preferentially executed, and the number of executions of the second special symbol variation game increases when the variable state is given. In consideration of the type of jackpot set in the present embodiment, the short state is often given when winning the probability variation 15R big hit. Therefore, if it is notified during the jackpot game that the attack is due to a “special attack”, or during the ending stage, the high-accuracy suggestion mode MB4 to MB6 is transferred, it is also suggested that the probability variation state continues. It can be expected that the probability variation state is continuously given.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
-In embodiment, a battle start round is not restricted to the round game of the 8th round or the 11th round, You may change arbitrarily. Note that the later the battle start round is, the slower the execution timing of the notification effect is, and the notification effect is executed when the second special figure start reservation ball contains a start hold ball that is a probable 15R big hit. More opportunities will be added.

  In the embodiment, when the starting holding ball that has won the second starting winning opening 26 after the round game of the twelfth round is the starting holding ball that is a probable 15R big hit, without selecting the promotion patterns UP1 to UP4 Only the ending pattern may be selected at the start of the ending effect.

  In the embodiment, the “specific effect” is set to “attack by special attack”, and even when the promotion patterns UP2 to UP4 are selected, the “attack by special attack” can be selected. If the player loses despite the “special attack” attack, it may be determined whether or not to notify the high-impact suggestion mode MB4 to MB6 in the ending effect.

  In the embodiment, the specific round is the round game of the twelfth round, but the specific round is not limited to the round game of the twelfth round, and two or more types of specific rounds may be set.

  -In the embodiment, when the probability variation state is not given, the non-probability variation 15R big hit is won, and until the big hit game based on the winning to the non-probability variation 15R big win is finished, the non-probability variation 15R big hit in the start holding ball Even if the start hold ball is included, it may be determined that the notification effect can be executed. As a result, since it is ensured that at least the big hit game will continue, it is possible to give the player a sense of security. In addition, when the probability variation state is not given, the winning suspension will be won in the probability retaining 15R big hit in the starting suspension ball until the big winning game based on the winning to the non-probable variation 15R big winning is completed and the winning to the non-probable variation 15R big winning is finished. Even when a sphere is included, it may be determined whether the notification effect can be executed. As a result, it is ensured that the big hit game will continue and the winning of the probability variation 15R big hit will be ensured, so that the player can be given a sense of security.

  -In the embodiment, when the probable change state is given in the embodiment, the probability change 15R jackpot is won, and until the jackpot game based on the win to the probability change 15R jackpot ends, It may be limited to the case where the start-up holding ball that is a big hit 15R big hit is included.

  In the embodiment, the type of jackpot game is not limited to the three types of first probability variation 15R big hit, second probability variation 15R big hit, and non-probability variation 15R big hit, and may be arbitrarily changed. For example, a pachinko gaming machine to which only the first probability variation 15R jackpot and the non-probability variation 15R jackpot are given may be used. Also, the number of rounds of the big hit game and the number of symbol variation games to which the variable state is given may be changed. For example, 10 rounds of a big hit game may be given, or after the big hit game, a variable state may be given until 50 symbol variation games are completed. Also, if the specified number of rounds is set to “1” and the gaming state after the winning game is ended in the gaming state at the time of winning the winning lottery, the specified number of rounds is set to “2”. In addition, a probability variation 2R jackpot that gives a probability variation state after the jackpot game ends may be set. However, the probability variation 2R big hit is normally set shorter than the probability variation 15R big hit and the non-probability variable 15R big hit, so that the start holding ball that is the probability variation 2R big hit is within the start holding ball. If it is included, the notification effect may be executable, but it is preferable not to notify during the round game of the probability variation 2R big hit.

  In the embodiment, as a notification effect, an attack by a “special attack” or a notification that the high-impact suggestion mode MB4 to MB6 is shifted is used, but may be executed in other modes. For example, the types of special attacks may be increased, sound notifications by the speakers 17a to 17c, or light emission notifications by the frame lamp units 16a to 16c may be used.

  In the embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes a pre-determination process in the same manner as the procedure shown in FIG. 11 in response to detection of a game ball winning in the first start winning opening 25, and pre-determination related to the special symbol 1 A command (for example, DBxxH) may be created. Further, the main control CPU 30a creates a prior determination command capable of specifying the number of special figure hold memories simultaneously with the prior determination command related to the special symbols 1 and 2. When the pre-determination command related to the special symbols 1 and 2 and the pre-determination command that can specify the number of special-plot hold memories are input, the overall control CPU 31a continuously performs the announcement effect across a plurality of symbol variation games. The execution of the continuous notice to be executed (appears) may be determined. Continuous notices are performed once for each symbol-changing game from several symbol-changing games that are performed before the symbol-changing game in which the jackpot effect may be performed. It is one that continues across the fluctuating game. The overall control CPU 31a determines, with a predetermined probability, whether or not to execute the continuous notice when the prior determination command relating to the special symbols 1 and 2 is input (for example, 1/30), and the continuous notice can be executed. Only when it is determined, continuous notice may be executed. In this case, the overall control CPU 31a sets the number of times designated by the advance determination command that can specify the special figure pending storage number in the overall control RAM 31c, and instructs execution of continuous notice over the number of times. . Note that when the continuous notice is executed, the overall control CPU 31a continuously stores the value of the prior determination command even after the big hit game ends. In addition, by making it possible to execute continuous advance notice, it becomes clear that it is not during the big hit game, and that the prior determination is executed when the winning of the game ball at each start winning opening is detected.

  Further, if the continuous notice can be executed only in the case of a big hit in the prior determination, it is definitely notified that the big hit will be made. For this reason, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number value acquired upon detection of a winning of a game ball at each start winning opening matches “0” to “4”. In such a case, a pre-determination command (for example, D7xxH: xx is a value that specifies the number of the start-up balls) may be generated for the off time. Then, when an advance determination command for a disconnection is input, the overall control CPU 31a may determine execution of continuous notice.

  However, if a game ball has entered at the second start winning opening 26, even if the game ball has entered at the first start winning opening 25 before that and the first special figure holding memory number is 1 or more, The first special symbol variation game is reserved and the second special symbol variation game is preferentially executed. For this reason, when the first special symbol variation game is set to end the notice effect when the second special symbol variation game is likely to continue, the second special symbol variation game has priority. Until the second special figure reserved memory count is exhausted or the variable state is not given, the continuous notice may not be terminated, or the continuous notice may be interrupted (not a continuous notice). Therefore, when the variable state is given or the game is a big hit game, the notice effect can be executed when rewriting by adding 1 to the first special figure holding memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c. It is desirable not to determine whether or not. This prevents a notice effect from being executed even if a game ball is detected at the first start winning opening 25 during a variable state or a big hit game, preventing the continuous notice from being ended or the continuous notice from being interrupted. it can.

  The prior determination command used to determine whether or not to execute the continuous notice may also be used as a command to determine whether or not the notification effect during the big hit game in this embodiment is executed. In this way, it is possible to save the trouble of newly creating a command for determining whether or not the notification effect during the big hit game can be executed.

  In the embodiment, a pre-determination command (DCxxH) and a pre-determination command that can specify the special figure hold memory number are created, and a pre-determination command that can specify the special figure hold memory number and the high-accuracy suggestion mode MB4˜ MB6 may be associated. For example, when “0” or “1” is designated as the second special figure hold memory number by the prior determination command, the high-accuracy suggestion mode MB4 is selected, and the second special figure hold memory number is determined by the prior determination command. When “2” is designated as the high suggestion mode MB5, the high suggestion mode MB5 may be selected. Further, when “3” is designated as the second special figure reservation storage number by the prior determination command, the high-precision suggestion mode MB6 may be selected. By doing so, it becomes possible to know how many times the symbol variation game will win the probable 15R jackpot after the jackpot game is ended by the effect mode notified during the ending effect, giving the player a sense of security be able to.

  In the embodiment, non-specific symbols may be further classified into a plurality of types. For example, by color-coding non-specific symbols, “2” and “4” are blue symbols, while “6” is black symbols, and the promotion rate to be promoted to a probable 15R jackpot is changed according to the symbol color. May be.

  In the embodiment, when confirming the prefetch information at the start of the ending effect, in addition to confirming the prefetch information, it is determined whether or not an effect that attacks with a “special attack” has already been executed during the round game. Also good. Then, when an effect of attacking with a “special attack” has already been executed during the round game, it is determined whether or not to execute the effect of notifying that the transition to the high suggestion mode MB4 to MB6 occurs during the ending effect. Processing may be omitted.

  In the embodiment, the central control CPU 31a reads the pre-read information associated with the start holding ball at the start of the specific round (the 12th round game in this embodiment), It may be determined whether or not a start hold ball that is a big hit of 15R is included. By doing so, it is possible to determine whether or not the notification effect can be executed without determining the number of second special figure holding memory each time a prior determination command is input, so that the processing efficiency can be improved. . However, just by inputting a pre-judgment command during the big hit game, it is not known whether the big hit is the first hit or the big hit when the big hit is continuously won. It is preferable to determine the previous jackpot based on a special symbol designating command for specifying the type of jackpot. In other words, if the big hit that triggers the execution of the big hit game is a probable 15R big hit, but it is informed that the non-probable 15R big hit is included in the second special figure start holding ball, Interest will be reduced. Further, if it is desired to notify that the probability variation state continues, when “probability variation 15R big hit” is specified as the type of the previous big hit, “01H (executable)” is determined as the look-ahead information, If “non-probability variation 15R big hit” is specified as the type of previous big hit, “00H (execution failure)” may be determined as the prefetch information.

  -In this embodiment, when winning is detected, the jackpot determination random number value read when triggered by the winning detection is compared with the jackpot determination value to determine whether or not the jackpot is determined. Instead of this, it may be determined using a big hit prior determination value for prior determination. In this case, the jackpot prior determination value may be set to the same number as the value set as the jackpot determination value. Even in such a configuration, it is possible to make a prior determination as to whether or not it is a big hit at the timing of winning detection.

  In the embodiment, the prior determination command may be configured to specify the content of the effect in the upper byte and indicate the number of special figure hold memory (second special figure hold memory number) at the time of prior determination in the lower byte. . Further, information that can be specified by the upper byte and the lower byte may be exchanged. Furthermore, a prior determination command that can specify the number of special figure hold memories may be output separately from the prior determination command that can specify the contents of effects.

  In the present embodiment, the overall control board 31 may not be provided. In this case, the display control CPU 32a of the display control board 32 may execute various controls executed by the overall control CPU 31a.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 22 is a liquid crystal display type, but may be a dot matrix type or a 7 segment LED type effect display device, or may be a mechanical effect display device such as a drum type.

  -Although this embodiment was embodied in the pachinko gaming machine 10 using the special symbol 1 and the special symbol 2, it may be embodied in the pachinko gaming machine 10 using one special symbol. In this case, only one of the first start prize opening 25 and the second start prize opening 26 is provided, and a corresponding special figure indicator (first special figure indicator 23a or second special figure indicator 23b) is provided. That's fine.
