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

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

  In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 includes 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Numbers of types are displayed as decorative drawings. Further, in the variable display H2, in the middle row, eight types of numbers [1] to [8] and one type of special character pattern imitating a character different from the number are displayed as a decoration diagram. It has become. In the present embodiment, the variable display H2 is configured with a larger display area than the first special figure display H0 and the second special figure display H1, and the decorative drawing is far more than the special figure. Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the variable display H2. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222], [777], etc.). Further, when the left symbol and the right symbol stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type and the middle symbol is a special symbol (in this embodiment, a special character symbol different from a number), the symbol combination ( [1 special 1], [2 special 2] ("special" is a special character design) etc.) can recognize the big hit to which the big hit game is given. The symbol combination that can recognize these jackpots is a jackpot symbol combination by a decorative drawing, which is a display result for the jackpot. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all columns displayed on the variable display H2 are stopped and displayed, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [123], [122], [767], etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination which can recognize this deviation becomes a symbol combination (outlier display result) of the deviation by the decorative drawing. Among the symbol combinations that are out of place, the left symbol and the right symbol are of the same type, the middle symbol is a numeric symbol, and the symbol combination that is positioned next in the order of variation of symbols that are stopped and displayed on the left symbol and the right symbol ( [121], [232], etc.) is displayed, it can be recognized that either a small hit game or a big hit game is awarded. The symbol combination that can recognize the small hit game or the big hit game is a symbol combination that suggests a probability variation state in which a probability variation state in which the probability of the big hit determination is low probability to high probability is given. Note that the symbol combination suggested by probability variation may be given a jackpot game from the symbol combination, resulting in a jackpot display result or a jackpot display result.

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

The probability change function is a low probability (normal state) of the jackpot lottery probability (winning probability) after the jackpot game ends, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (special figure) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol. This is a function for providing a probability variation state (probability variation state) that varies from a certain normal probability (4/1549 in the present embodiment) to a high probability (40/1549 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

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

  In addition, when the probability variation state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result as to whether or not the opening / closing blade 26 is opened is shortened, and the normal hit probability of the ordinary game is higher than the normal probability. There is a case where the entrance rate improvement state that fluctuates with probability is given as a privilege. In this improved entrance rate, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes in an operation pattern different from that in the normal state (non-probability change state) when winning in the normal game. That is, when winning the normal game in a state where the entrance rate improvement state is not given, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 300 ms or 2500 ms elapses after opening. It has become. On the other hand, in the case of winning the normal game when the entrance rate is improved, the opening / closing blade 26 is opened three times, and the opened state is maintained until 1160 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. It has become. In other words, the opening / closing blade 26 has a longer total opening time when the entrance rate improvement state is given, and operates favorably for the player than the state where the entrance rate improvement state is not given. Is set. In addition, the entrance rate improvement state may indicate a game state (hereinafter referred to as “supported”) to which a support state for supporting (assisting) a game ball entering the second start winning opening 27 is provided. ). On the other hand, a game state in which the entry rate improvement state is not given does not support (does not support) the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening 27 (hereinafter referred to as “no support”). In some cases).

  Even before the specified time elapses after the opening, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number of balls (for example, 9 balls) has entered. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 26 is closed when the upper limit number (for example, 9 balls) of game balls has entered, even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, whether or not the entrance rate improvement state of the present embodiment is awarded is determined depending on the type of the probability variation symbol (big hit game) and the game state in which the symbol variation game that becomes the probability variation big hit is played. . When the lottery state in the probability variation state is given and the release state in the improved entrance rate state is given (with support), the gaming state is in the probability variation state with support. In addition, when the lottery state in the probability variation state is given and the release state in the improved entrance rate state is not imparted (no support), the game state is in the no support probability variation state.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment provides a short time to give a variable time shortening (hereinafter referred to as “short time”) state as a special game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game that becomes an uncertain change state (normal state). It has a function. When the short-time state is given, the fluctuation time of the ordinary game for deriving the lottery result of whether or not to open and close the opening / closing blade 26 is shortened, and the hit probability of the ordinary game is changed from the normal probability to the high probability The improved entrance rate is given as a privilege. In the entrance rate improvement state, the open / close blade 26 opens and closes with an operation pattern different from that in the normal state when winning in the normal game, as described above. The time-short state is given until a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) the symbol variation game is played, or until a big hit is generated before the number of times is reached. In the present embodiment, when a non-probable big hit is made, a time-short state is given after the big hit game ends. When the lottery state in the normal state is given and the open state in the improved entrance rate state is given (with support), the gaming state in the normal state with support (time-short state) is obtained. In addition, when the lottery state in the normal state is given and the open state in the improved entrance rate state is not given (no support), the game state is in the normal state without support.

Next, the big hit game and the small hit game specified in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
The big hit game is started after the big hit symbol (and the big hit symbol combination) is stopped and displayed on the respective displays H0 to H2 in the symbol variation game, and the game ends.

In other words, in each round game of the 2R special probability variable big hit game, within 9 hours of round game time (0.32 (seconds)), the game ball of “9 balls”, which is the upper limit of the number of balls entered, is to be entered. It is virtually impossible.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol H is displayed on the first special symbol display H0 or when the jackpot symbol classified as symbol h is displayed on the second special symbol display H1. 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, it is given when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol H is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a jackpot symbol classified as symbol h is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. The jackpot game is indicated as “15R normal non-probability big hit game”. In the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big prize opening device 29 in the round games of the 11th to 15th rounds is different from the opening mode of the 15R special probability variable big hit game. In the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the upper limit number of balls (specified number) for one round game is set to “9 balls”. Further, in the 15 round games in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to be opened “once” in each round game. In addition, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) is set to the upper limit number without being given a probable state after the big hit game ends. As a support state is given.

  Further, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, “5.5 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “5.568 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In the round game of the 11th to 15th rounds in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the number of times of opening of the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to “1”, respectively, “0.32 (seconds)” is set. On the other hand, in the round game of the 1st to 10th rounds in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the number of times of opening of the grand prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is set to “1”, respectively. “25 (seconds)” is set as the time.

  As a result, in the 15R normal non-probable big hit game, the grand prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is opened in the 11th round and the big winning opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 is closed in the 15th round. The time ("11.6 (seconds)") is the same as the time until the big winning opening door 28 of the big winning opening device 29 finishes the fifth opening in the eleventh round of the step-up jackpot game. The Further, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big win mouth door 28 of the big win port device 29 of each round game is the same as the 15R normal probable big hit game. In addition, in the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the opening mode of the big prize opening door 28 of the big prize opening device 29 of each round game, and the number of symbol variable games to which the improved entrance rate is given, It is the same. In other words, the 15R normal non-probable change jackpot game and the 15R probability change secret jackpot game look exactly the same.

  Note that the round game time of each round game is the maximum time because each round game may end when the upper limit number of game balls enter. Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the interval time between rounds in the 15R normal non-probability large hit game is set to “2.0 (seconds)”.

  It is given when a small hit symbol classified as symbol I is displayed on the first special symbol display H0, or when a small hit symbol classified as symbol i is displayed on the second special symbol indicator H1. In the small hit game, the prescribed number of rounds is set to “1”, and the upper limit number (count number) of balls for one round game is set to “9”. Further, in one round game of the small hit game, it is set so that the big prize opening device 29 (the big prize opening door 28) is opened “twice”. In the small hit game, the gaming state after the small hit game is continued in the gaming state at the time of winning the small hit lottery. In other words, in the small hit game, if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the probability variation state is continuously given even after the end of the small hit lottery game, and if support is provided at the time of winning the small hit lottery The support state is continuously given after the small hit game ends. In addition, in the small hit game, if the entrance rate improvement state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the entrance rate improvement state is continuously given after the end of the small hit game. In addition, in the small hit game, if the game state at the time of winning the small hit lottery is a normal state, the normal state is continued even after the small hit game ends.

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

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

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko machine 10 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine 10, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals ( Control command). In addition, an overall control board 31, a display control board 32, a lamp control board 33, and a sound control board 34 are mounted on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 comprehensively controls the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 controls the display mode (display images of symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the variable display H2 based on control signals (control commands) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31. 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 frame lamp parts 16a to 16c and the panel lamp parts BL (the respective light emitters BL0 to BL12). The light emission mode (lighting (flashing) / lighting timing, etc.) is controlled. The sound control board 34 controls the sound output mode (sound output timing, etc.) of the speaker 17 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31.

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

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, the display control board 32, and the lamp control board 33 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main CPU 30a. A ROM 30b and a RAM 30c are connected to the main CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, a count switch SE3, and the like are connected to the main CPU 30a. The main CPU 30a is connected to a first special symbol display H0, a second special graphic indicator H1, a first reserved indicator Ra, a second reserved indicator Rb, and a normal symbol reserved indicator M. ing. The main CPU 30a is connected to a special winning opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display H10 and a gate sensor SE4. Further, an external terminal board 40 is connected to the main control board 30, and a hall computer HC is connected to the external terminal board 40. Further, the main CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined period, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 30c, and rewrites the values before the update. The main CPU 30a is equipped with a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The main CPU 30a stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

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

  As shown in FIG. 8, the variation patterns are selected when winning the jackpot lottery, and the variation patterns P1, P2, P3a, P3b, P4a, and P4b for the jackpot effect selected when winning the jackpot lottery. Variation patterns P5a and P5b for small hitting effects, and variation patterns P6 to P14 for offending effects that are selected in the case of a loss that is not won in either the big winning lottery or the small winning lottery. In the variation pattern for the offending effect, a reach is formed, and after the reach effect is performed, the fluctuation pattern P6 to P8 for the outlier reach effect that is finally set as a deviation, and the outlier effect that is a deviation without forming the reach. Variation patterns P9 to P14.

  In this embodiment, the variation pattern for the big hit effect is selected when the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R positive variable secret big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game are determined. Normal variation patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b. In the present embodiment, the normal variation pattern P3b is a 15R special probability variable big hit game, a step-up big hit game, a 15R normal probability variable big hit game, a 15R positive probability variable big hit game, and a 15R normal non-probable change when the game state is supported. It is a dedicated and usually fluctuating pattern that can be selected when the jackpot game is determined. On the other hand, among the normal variation patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b, the normal variation patterns P1, P2, and P3a other than the normal variation pattern P3b other than the normal variation pattern P3b are in the lottery state of the big hit lottery and the open / close blade 26 in the open state. It is a pattern that can be selected regardless of the gaming state.

  Further, the variation patterns for the big hit effect include special variation patterns P4a and P4b that are selected when the jump-up big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 2R special probability variable big hit game are determined. In the present embodiment, the special variation pattern P4b has support that is selected when the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 2R special probability variable big hit game are determined when the game state is supported. Dedicated, special variation pattern. On the other hand, among the special variation patterns P4a and P4b, the special variation pattern P4a other than the special support pattern P4b other than the special variation pattern P4b can be selected regardless of the lottery state of the big hit lottery or the gaming state of the open / close blade 26 opened. It is a pattern.

  In addition, the variation patterns for the small hit effect include special variation patterns P5a and P5b selected when the small hit game is determined. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern P5b for the small hit effect is the variation pattern for the dedicated and small hit effect that is selected when the small hit game is determined when the gaming state is supported. It is. On the other hand, among the variation patterns P5a and P5b for the small hit effect, the variation pattern P5a for the small hit effect other than the dedicated support pattern for the small hit effect P5b is the lottery state of the big hit lottery or the opening / closing blade 26. This is a pattern that can be selected regardless of the open gaming state. The special variation pattern P4a selected when the jump-up jackpot game or the like is determined when there is no support is the symbol variation game specified by the variation pattern P5a for small hit effect selected when there is no support. It is the pattern which is the same as the contents of the production and is associated with the same variation time.

  In addition, a normal fluctuation pattern P3b selected when a 15R special probability variable big hit game or the like is determined with support, and a special fluctuation pattern selected when a jump-up big hit game or the like is determined with support. P4b and the variation pattern P5b for the small hit effect selected when there is support differ in the effect results derived by specifying the same effect content (battle effect) as the effect content of the specified symbol change game And the same variation time is associated with the pattern.

  The jackpot effect performed based on the normal variation patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the symbol combination of the jackpot is finally stopped and displayed through the reach effect. . In addition, the big hit effect performed based on the special variation pattern and the small hit effect performed based on the variation pattern for the small hit effect will cause the symbol variation game to reach the final effect and finally display the combination of symbols suggested to be probable. It is an effect that is developed. Further, the outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game is finally stopped and displayed after the reach effect. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach symbol combination is formed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. . In the first special symbol display H0 and the second special symbol display H1, when the symbol variation game is started, the symbol variation is continued until the variation time elapses without performing the reach effect.

Hereinafter, each variation pattern P1 to P14 will be described in detail.
Based on the normal fluctuation patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b selected when the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R normal variable secret big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probable big hit game are determined. When the first variable game is played, the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2 finally display the big hit symbol and the big hit symbol combination that can recognize the big hit respectively. . In addition, when the second variation game is played based on the normal variation patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b for the big hit effect, the second special figure display H1 and the variable display H2 can recognize the big hit respectively. The symbols and jackpot symbol combinations are finally displayed.

  In addition, when the first variation game is performed based on the special variation patterns P4a and P4b selected when the jump up jackpot game, the 2R normal probability variation big hit game, and the 2R special probability variation big hit game are determined, the first special display is displayed. In the display unit H0 and the variable display unit H2, the jackpot symbol and the symbol combination indicating the probability change are finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the special variation patterns P4a and P4b, the combination of the jackpot symbol and the symbol suggesting the probability variation is finally displayed on the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2, respectively. It has come to be. In the present embodiment, when the first variation game is performed based on the special variation patterns P4a and P4b selected when the 2R normal probability variation big hit game is determined, after the reach effect is performed on the variable display H2. At the same time as the symbol combination suggesting the probability change by the decorative drawing is displayed, the jackpot symbol by the special diagram is displayed on the first special diagram display H0.

  Further, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P5a and P5b for the small hit effect selected when the small hit game is determined, in the first special figure display H0 and the variable display H2, In each case, a small hit symbol and a symbol combination suggesting a probability change are finally displayed. Similarly, when the second variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P5a and P5b for the small hit effect, the combination of the small hit symbol and the probability variation suggestion is respectively displayed on the second special symbol display H1 and the variable display H2. Is finally displayed. In the present embodiment, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P5a and P5b for the small hit effect, after the reach effect is performed by the variable display H2, the symbol combination of the probability change suggestion by the decoration diagram is obtained. Simultaneously with the display, a small hit symbol according to the special figure is displayed on the first special figure display H0.

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

  When the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the offending effect, the first special figure display device H0 and the variable display device H2 are shifted to each other without performing the reach effect after the normal variation. The symbols and out-of-order symbol combinations are finally displayed. When the second variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P9 to P14 for the outlier effect, the second special figure display device H1 and the variable display device H2 respectively perform the shift symbol and the shift symbol without performing the reach effect after the normal variation. This is a pattern in which a combination of out-of-order symbols is finally displayed. In the present embodiment, when the first variation game is performed based on the variation patterns P9 to P14 for the offending effect, the normal variation is performed after the symbol variation game is started, and the variable symbol combination by the decorative display is displayed on the variable display H2. Is displayed, and the first special figure display H0 displays a symbol that is out of the special figure.

  Note that, when a reach effect is performed in a symbol variation game, the longer the rendering time specified by the variation pattern, the higher the jackpot reliability is set. That is, the main CPU 30a determines that the provision of the 15R special probability variable big hit game, the step-up big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, the 15R probability variable secret big hit game, or the 15R normal non-probable big hit game is longer than the variation pattern with a short presentation time. Even easier to determine long fluctuation patterns. On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative and the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main CPU 30a can easily determine a variation pattern that is shorter than a variation pattern with a long presentation time. Therefore, the main CPU 30a is more likely to determine a variation pattern having a longer variation time among the normal variation patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b for the big hit effect (in this embodiment, the order of P1 <P2 <P3a and P3b). ing. On the other hand, the main CPU 30a is less likely to determine a fluctuation pattern having a longer fluctuation time among the normal fluctuation patterns P6 to P8 for outlier reach production (in this embodiment, the order of P6 <P7 <P8).

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the design is based on these variation patterns of the dedicated support pattern, the normal variation pattern P3b, the dedicated support pattern, the special variation pattern P4b, and the dedicated support pattern variation pattern P5b. When a variation game is performed, a symbol variation game by a battle effect is executed. The symbol variation game is played based on variation patterns other than these variation patterns, that is, the special variation pattern P3b with support, the special variation pattern P4b with support, the special variation pattern P4b with support, and the variation pattern P5b for small hit effect. In this case, a symbol variation game based on a non-battle effect that is not a battle effect can be executed. In the present embodiment, the symbol variation game based on the non-battle effect is executed only in a specific case in the symbol variation game based on the support variation and the normal variation pattern P3b.

  In the battle effect, the symbol variation game is executed in an effect mode in which the characters fight against each other and determine the winning or losing of the corresponding character. For example, two types of monsters (characters) appear on the variable display H2. During the battle performance, the monsters appearing on the variable display H2 perform an attack on the opponent and give a predetermined damage to the opponent or perform a predetermined number of attacks. . Then, as a result of the battle effect, an effect result in which one of the monsters wins or an effect result in which a tie is drawn is derived. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a supported state, the battle effect can appear only when the big hit is determined internally or the small hit is determined. In the battle effect, the reach effect in which the symbol combination of the reach is formed by the decorative symbol of the variable display H2 is performed in parallel while the battle by the character is developed.

  In the battle effect, the type of the big hit game and the small hit game that are given and the probability variation state are notified by notifying the player of the type of the special symbol determined by the main control board 30 based on the result of the effect derived from the effect. Is notified to the player whether or not the game is given. In addition, in the battle effect of the present embodiment, one of the two types of characters is regarded as a player's ally (or player), and a battle is performed with the other character, corresponding to the player's ally. The result of either “winning”, “defeating”, or “drawing” is derived.

  In the battle production, when deriving a production result in which the character corresponding to the player's ally wins, the game is given one of 15R special probability variable big hit game, step-up big hit game, and 15R normal probability variable big hit game. Will be notified. In this embodiment, it is determined whether to give a big hit game of 15R special probability variable big hit game, step-up big hit game, or 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and support-only, normal fluctuation pattern P3b is decided. In the symbol variation game, the battle effect is executed and the result of “winning” is derived. Therefore, deriving the effect result that wins by the battle effect (the character corresponding to the player's ally wins) derives the effect result that causes the player to recognize the provision of the probability variation state. In addition, when performing the battle effect and deriving the effect result of “winning”, after deriving the effect result of “defeat”, the content of the effect with the resurrection effect to be changed to the effect result of “winning” is also set Has been. And, in the battle effect that derives the result of “winning” with the revival effect, the content of the effect until the effect result of “defeat” is derived is the same as the battle effect that derives the effect of “defeat” .

  On the other hand, when deriving an effect result in which the character corresponding to the player's ally is defeated in the battle performance, the player is given either 15R probability variation concealment big hit game or 15R normal non-probability big hit game. You will be notified. In addition, in this embodiment, when the big hit game of any of 15R probability variable concealment big hit game and 15R normal non-probability big hit game is decided, and support is dedicated, the normal variation pattern P3b is decided. In a variable game, a battle effect is executed and an effect result of “defeating” is derived. Therefore, deriving an effect result that is defeated by a battle effect (a character corresponding to a player's ally is defeated) conceals whether or not a probability variation state is imparted, and a probability variation state may be imparted. An effect result for recognizing the absence is derived.

  Also, in the battle production, when deriving a production result in which the characters are drawn, either a jump-up big hit game, 2R normal probability variable big hit game, 2R special probability variable big hit game, or small hit game is given. The player will be notified. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether to give a big hit game of any one of the jump-up big hit game, 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and 2R special probability variable big hit game, and the special variation pattern P4b dedicated to support is determined. In the case of the symbol variation game, the battle effect is executed and the result of “drawing” is derived. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game in which the small hit game is determined to be given, and the variation pattern P5b for the small hit effect is determined exclusively for support, the battle effect is executed and “ The result of “drawing” is derived. Therefore, deriving an effect result that is drawn by a battle effect (characters are drawn) leads to an effect result that recognizes that a jump-up jackpot game may be awarded. In addition, even if no jump-up jackpot game is awarded, the result of recognizing that a probability-changing state may be given as a result of the 2R normal probability variation jackpot game or the 2R special probability variation jackpot game being derived is derived. Will be.

  Moreover, in each variation pattern P1-P14 of this embodiment, the effect content of the lamp change effect which changes the light emission mode of the board lamp part BL stepwise based on the operation of the effect button BT as the effect content of the symbol change game. Can be specified. In the normal variation patterns P1, P2, and P3a, it is possible to specify the content of the first system ramp change effect, and in the normal variation pattern P3b, the content of the effect of the second system lamp change effect is specified. Can be specified. In addition, in the variation patterns P6 to P8 for the off-reach reach effect, it is possible to specify the effect content of the first system lamp change effect. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the variation pattern that specifies the effect content of the lamp change effect is a specific change pattern (specific effect pattern). In the present embodiment, the second system lamp effect can be executed only in the symbol variation game based on the normal variation pattern P3b, which is dedicated to support specifying the battle effect, and the effect result of “winning” or “defeating” in the battle effect. This is executed when deriving.

  In the lamp change effect according to the present embodiment, an operation effective period in which the operation of the effect button BT is made effective during the symbol variation game is set, and the effect button BT is operated during the operation effective period. It has come to be. In the lamp change effect, the number of operations for the stage of the light emission mode of the panel lamp part BL to proceed to the next stage is determined for each stage based on the operation of the effect button BT during the operation effective period. On the condition that the number of times that the production button BT is made effective reaches the number of operations performed, the stage is advanced by changing the emission mode to the next emission mode.

  Also, in each lamp change effect, the progress of the stage in each lamp change effect is different based on the type of variation pattern with which the lamp change effect is associated, and FIGS. ) And FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b), the determination mode of the number of operations required for the light emission mode to proceed to the next stage is different based on the variation pattern specifying the lamp change effect. . In the variation pattern for specifying the lamp change effect, the number of operations shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B and FIGS. 11A and 11B is the predetermined distribution rate (probability) for each stage. Is to be determined by. The distribution of the number of operations in the variation pattern specifying the lamp change effect will be described in detail in the configuration description of the overall control board 31 described later.

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, when [1] indicating that the second variation game is performed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag, the special symbol variation processing flag is classified into any one of the symbols a to e and h. . For this reason, in the case of a big hit in the second variable game, a symbol classified as symbol a as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 40/100, and a symbol classified as symbol b is displayed with a probability of 7/100. The symbol classified as symbol c is displayed with a probability of 13/100, and the symbol classified as symbol d is displayed with a probability of 12/100. In addition, a symbol classified as symbol e as a jackpot symbol is displayed with a probability of 3/100, and a symbol classified as symbol h is displayed with a probability of 25/100.

  On the other hand, at the time of determining the small hit (when the big hit determination is negative and the small hit determination is affirmative), a symbol is determined from among the ten types of small hits, and when the loss is determined (at the big hit determination and When the small hit determination is negative), a symbol is determined from one type of missing symbol. The RAM 30c stores various information (such as various random values) that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10. For example, the RAM 30c stores a small hit design random number used when determining the type of the special figure that becomes the small hit symbol when determining the small hit. In addition, the RAM 30c stores a random number for assigning a common figure used for determining a type of a common figure that will be a winning symbol when the ordinary game is won.

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

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 is provided with an overall CPU 31a. A ROM 31b and a RAM 31c are connected to the overall CPU 31a. Further, the general CPU 31a updates various random numbers such as the operation frequency distribution random numbers every predetermined cycle, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. . The ROM 31b stores an overall control program for comprehensively controlling the display control board 32, the lamp control board 33, and the sound control board 34. When the general CPU 31a inputs various control commands, the general CPU 31a executes various controls based on the general control program. The operation frequency distribution random number is a random number used when performing the operation frequency lottery for determining the number of operations for each stage based on the system of lamp change effects to be executed in each lamp change effect. The general CPU 31a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, a timing at which a symbol variation game is started). The RAM 31c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  In addition to the overall control program, the ROM 31b stores operation number determination tables TA1 and TA2 for the first system lamp change effect shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B. The operation frequency determination table TA1 is a case where a variation pattern for specifying the first system lamp variation effect is selected from the variation pattern for the loss reach effect and the variation pattern for the loss effect, and does not win the big hit lottery (small This table is used when the winning lottery is not won. The operation count determination table TA2 is a table used when a variation pattern that specifies the first system ramp change effect is selected from the normal variation patterns, and when the big hit lottery is won.

  In the first system lamp change effect of the present embodiment, the first stage (step 1), the second stage (step 2), the third stage (step 3), and the fourth stage (step 4) in order from the initial stage (step 0). ), The stage is advanced (step-up) with the fifth stage (step 5) as the highest stage. In the first system lamp change effect, no light emission is set to step 0, white light emission is set to step 1 (see FIG. 23 (a)), blue light emission is set to step 2 (see FIG. 23 (b)), yellow The light emission mode proceeds in step 3 (see FIG. 23C). Also, in the first system lamp change effect, the light emission mode proceeds in step 4 (see FIG. 23 (d)) with red emission and step 5 (see FIG. 23 (e)) with iridescent emission. ing.

  In the operation frequency determination table TA1, a predetermined number of operation frequency distribution random numbers are allocated to each operation frequency for each stage (for each number of steps) of the first system lamp change effect. In the present embodiment, 101 possible integers from “0” to “100” are set as numerical values that can be taken by the operation frequency distribution random numbers. In the operation count determination table TA1, random numbers are assigned only to “1 time” as the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 0 to step 1. In addition, in the operation number determination table TA1, the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 1 to step 2 is a predetermined number of irregularities for “2 to 5 times” and “6 to 10 times”. Numerical values are distributed. Further, in the operation number determination table TA1, “2-5 times” and “6” are used as the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 2 to step 3, from step 3 to step 4, and from step 4 to step 5. -10 times, 11 to 15 times, 16 times to 20 times, and 100 times, a predetermined number of random values are assigned.

  For example, in the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 3 to step 4, “1” random number value is “2-5 times”, and “3” randomness is “6-10 times”. The numerical values are “7” random values for “11-15 times”, “40” random values for “16-20 times”, and “50” random values for “100 times”. It is distributed. Further, in the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 3 to step 4, the number of operations is “2-5 times”, “6-10 times”, “11-15 times”, “16-20 times”. ”Or“ 100 times ”, when“ 2 to 5 times ”is selected, any of“ 2 times ”,“ 3 times ”,“ 4 times ”, and“ 5 times ” The predetermined ratio (in this embodiment, the same ratio) is determined.

  In addition, in the operation frequency determination table TA2, a predetermined number of operation frequency distribution random numbers are allocated to each operation frequency for each stage (for each number of steps) of the first system lamp change effect. In the operation count determination table TA2, random numbers are assigned only to “1 time” as the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 0 to step 1. In addition, in the operation number determination table TA2, the number of operations for advancing the stage of the light emission mode from step 1 to step 2 is a predetermined number of disturbances for “2 to 5 times” and “6 to 10 times”. Numerical values are distributed. Further, in the operation number determination table TA2, “2-5 times” and “6” are used as the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 2 to step 3, from step 3 to step 4, and from step 4 to step 5. -10 times, 11 to 15 times, 16 times to 20 times, and 100 times, a predetermined number of random values are assigned.

  For example, in the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 4 to step 5, the random number value “1” is “2-5 times” and “3” is random “6-10 times”. The numerical values are “10” random values “11-15 times”, “27 random numbers” “16-20 times”, “60” random values “100 times”, respectively. It is distributed. When “2-5 times” is determined in the number of operations for advancing the stage from step 4 to step 5, “2 times”, “3 times”, “4 times”, “5 times” Any number of times is determined at a predetermined rate (in this embodiment, the same rate).

  In the operation number determination tables TA1 and TA2 for the first system lamp change effect according to the present embodiment, only when the big hit is determined by the big hit lottery (only in the operation number determination table TA2), the stage of the light emission mode is up to step 5. In addition to being configured to be able to proceed, “100 times”, which is the number of times the player cannot operate within the operation effective period, can be determined as the number of operations. In particular, in the operation number determination table TA2 for the first system lamp change effect, while the stage of the light emission mode can proceed up to step 5, the number of operations (100 times) that the player within the operation valid period cannot operate as the number of operations. Can be determined as the number of operations. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, it takes 250 ms for the player to operate the effect button BT once. The time required to operate the production button BT once is a value calculated based on the result of testing the production button BT attached to the pachinko machine 10, and the structure and installation mode of the production button BT. It varies depending on (how to connect to the control board, signal input / output, etc.). For this reason, in this embodiment, by setting the operation effective period based on the first system lamp change effect to 10 seconds (10000 ms), the time required to operate the effect button BT 100 times is longer than 25 seconds (25000 ms). It can be made sufficiently short, and when the number of operations is determined to be “100 times”, it is possible to regulate the progress of the stage of the light emission mode.

  Further, in the operation number determination tables TA1 and TA2 for the first system lamp change effect, the number of operations that can be determined as the number of operations for proceeding from step 2 to step 5 regardless of the type of table used. The smallest number of operations (in this embodiment, “2 to 5 times”) is configured to be most difficult to determine at each stage. Furthermore, in the operation number determination tables TA1 and TA2 for the first system lamp change effect, the number of operations for proceeding from step 2 to step 5 is determined when the table TA2 is used than when the table TA1 is used. The smallest number of operations (in this embodiment, “2 to 5 times”) among the obtained operations is easily determined at each stage. For this reason, the change mode of the first system lamp change effect can be made different depending on whether or not the big hit is determined, and when the big hit is determined, the stage of the light emission mode is higher than the case where the big hit is not determined. Is easy to progress. Moreover, since the light emission mode in the first system lamp change effect can proceed to step 5 only when the big hit is determined, there is a possibility that it will be a big hit by approaching step 5 as the stage of the light emission mode progresses. Can be increased. Therefore, when the first system lamp change effect is executed, the player can change his expectation for the big hit as the stage of the light emission mode progresses.

  Further, in the ROM 31b, as shown in FIG. 10, in the first system lamp change effect based on the number of operations determined by the operation number distribution lottery by the general CPU 31a, the board 31 outputs according to the operation state of the effect button BT. The type of light emission instruction command (transmission command) for instructing the light emission mode of the lamp unit BL is set. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a sends a predetermined light emission instruction command to the display control board 32 and the lamp control board 33 each time the number of times that the operation of the effect button BT within the operation valid period is valid reaches the determined number of operations. To output.

  The light emission instruction command includes a light emission instruction command DBH00H instructing the light emission mode in step 1 (first stage) in the first system lamp change effect, a light emission instruction command DBH01H instructing the light emission aspect in step 2 (second stage), A light emission instruction command DBH02H for instructing the light emission mode in step 3 (third stage) is set. In addition, a light emission instruction command DBH03H for instructing the light emission mode in step 4 (fourth stage) and a light emission instruction command DBH04H instructing the light emission aspect in step 5 (fifth stage) are set in the first system lamp change effect. . Each time these light emission instruction commands reach the number of times determined as the number of operations in the stage of the current light emission mode by operating the effect button BT, the light emission instruction command for instructing the next light emission mode of the current light emission mode. Is output. Specifically, when “3 times” is determined as the number of operations for the stage to proceed from step 1 to step 2, the effect button BT after the light emission mode has changed to step 1 is operated. When the number of times is less than “3 times”, no light emission instruction command is output, and when the number of operations reaches “3 times”, the light emission instruction command DBH01H is output.

  In addition to the overall control program, the ROM 31b stores operation number determination tables TB1 and TB2 for second system lamp change effects shown in FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b). The number-of-operations determination table TB1 is a table that is used to specify the content of the effect for deriving the effect result “defeated” in the battle effect, out of the normal variation pattern, for the support that specifies the battle effect. In addition, the operation count determination table TB2 is a table used to specify the content of the effect for deriving the effect of “winning” with the revival effect in the battle effect, out of the normal variation patterns for the support that specifies the battle effect.

  In the second system lamp change effect, the first stage (step 1), the second stage (step 2), the third stage (step 3), the fourth stage (step 4), and the fifth stage in order from the initial stage (step 0). The stage proceeds (steps up) with the stage (step 5) and the sixth stage (step 6) as the highest stage. Then, in the second system lamp change effect, no lighting (light emission) is set as step 0, lighting of the luminous bodies BL11 and BL12 (four) is set as step 1 (see FIG. 24A), and step 1 is performed. In addition to the illuminating body that is lit, lighting of the illuminators BL9 and BL10 (four) is performed in step 2 (see FIG. 24B), and the light emission mode proceeds. In the second system lamp change effect, the lighting of the light emitters BL7 and BL8 (four) in addition to the light emitters lit in step 2 is set as step 3 (see FIG. 24C). In addition to the light-emitting body lit in 3, the light-emitting mode is advanced by turning on the light-emitting bodies BL5 and BL6 (four) as step 4 (see FIG. 24D). In the second system lamp change effect, the lighting of the light emitters BL3 and BL4 (four) in addition to the light emitters lit in step 4 is set as step 5 (see FIG. 24E). In addition to the light emitters lit at 5, the light emitters of the light emitters BL0 to BL2 (five) are turned on in step 6 (see FIG. 24 (f)) so that the light emission mode proceeds.

  In the operation frequency determination table TB1, a predetermined number of operation frequency distribution random numbers are distributed for each operation frequency for each stage (for each number of steps) of the second system lamp change effect. In the present embodiment, 101 possible integers from “0” to “100” are set as numerical values that can be taken by the operation frequency distribution random numbers. In the operation count determination table TB1, random numbers are assigned only to “1 time” as the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 0 to step 1. Further, in the operation count determination table TB1, “1 time” and “2 times” are used as the number of operations for advancing the stage from step 1 to step 2, step 2 to step 3, and step 4 to step 5. A predetermined number of random values are assigned to “3 times”. Further, in the operation count determination table TB1, “1 time”, “2 times”, “3 times”, “5 times”, “ A predetermined number of random numbers are assigned to “10 times” and “50 times”.

  For example, in the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 3 to step 4, the random number value “21” is “1 time”, the random number value “20” is “2 times” “10” random number values are assigned to “3 times”, and “50” random value values are assigned to “5 times”.

  Further, in the operation frequency determination table TB2, a predetermined number of operation frequency distribution random numbers are allocated to each operation frequency for each stage of the second system lamp change effect (for each number of steps). In the operation count determination table TB2, random numbers are assigned only to “1” as the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 0 to step 1. In the operation frequency determination table TB2, the operation frequency for making the light emission mode advance from step 1 to step 2, from step 2 to step 3, and from step 4 to step 5 is “1 time” and “2 times”. A predetermined number of random values are assigned to “3 times”. In addition, in the operation number determination table TB2, the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 3 to step 4 is “1 time”, “2 times”, “3 times”, and “5 times”. A predetermined number of random numbers are distributed. In the operation count determination table TB2, the operation counts for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 5 to step 6 include “1”, “2”, “3”, “5” and “5”. A predetermined number of random numbers are assigned to “10 times” and “50 times”.

  For example, in the number of operations for causing the light emission mode to proceed from step 3 to step 4, the random number value “31” is “1”, the random number “20” is “2”, “10” random number values are assigned to “3 times”, and “40” random value values are assigned to “5 times”.

  In the operation number determination tables TB1 and TB2 for the second system lamp change effect according to the present embodiment, the step is performed only when the effect result of “winning” accompanied by the revival effect is derived in the battle effect (only in the operation number determination table TB2). The stage of the light emission mode can be advanced up to 6. On the other hand, the operation count determination table TB2 is configured to be able to determine “50 times”, which is the number of operations that the player cannot perform within the operation valid period, as the operation count. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, by setting the operation effective period based on the second system lamp change effect to 5 seconds (5000 ms), the time required to operate the effect button BT 50 times 12.5 seconds ( 1500 ms), and when “50 times” is determined as the number of operations, it is possible to regulate the progress of the stage of the light emission mode.

  In addition, in the operation number determination tables TB1 and TB2 for the second system lamp change effect, the number of operations for proceeding from step 2 to step 6 is determined when the table TB2 is used than when the table TB1 is used. The smallest number of operations (in this embodiment, “1 time”) among the obtained operations is easily determined at each stage. For this reason, the change mode of the second system lamp change effect can be varied according to the effect result of the battle effect. The stage of the light emission mode proceeds more easily than the case of deriving. In addition, the light emission mode in the second system lamp change effect can proceed to step 6 only when the result of “winning” with the revival effect is derived in the battle effect, so that the step with the progress of the stage of the light emission mode can proceed. By approaching 6, it is possible to increase the possibility that an effect result of “winning” in the battle effect is finally derived with a revival effect. Therefore, when the second system lamp change effect is executed, the player can change his expectation that an effect result of “winning” in the battle effect will be derived as the stage of the light emission mode progresses.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, in the ROM 31b, for the second system lamp change effect based on the number of operations determined by the operation number distribution lottery by the overall CPU 31a, the board 31 outputs according to the operation state of the effect button BT. The type of light emission instruction command (transmission command) for instructing the light emission mode of the lamp unit BL is set. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a sends a predetermined light emission instruction command to the display control board 32 and the lamp control board 33 each time the number of times that the operation of the effect button BT within the operation valid period is valid reaches the determined number of operations. To output.

  The light emission instruction command includes a light emission instruction command DFH10H for instructing the light emission mode of Step 1 (first stage) in the second system lamp change effect, a light emission instruction command DFH11H for instructing the light emission aspect of Step 2 (second stage), A light emission instruction command DFH12H for instructing the light emission mode in step 3 (third stage) is set. Also, in the second system lamp change effect, a light emission instruction command DFH13H for instructing the light emission mode in step 4 (fourth stage), a light emission instruction command DFH14H instructing the light emission mode in step 5 (fifth stage), and step 6 ( A light emission instruction command DFH15H for instructing the light emission mode at the sixth stage) is set. Each time these light emission instruction commands reach the number of times determined as the number of operations in the stage of the current light emission mode by operating the effect button BT, the light emission instruction command for instructing the next light emission mode of the current light emission mode. Is output. Specifically, when “3 times” is determined as the number of operations for the stage to proceed from step 1 to step 2, the effect button BT after the light emission mode has changed to step 1 is operated. When the number of times is less than “3 times”, no light emission instruction command is output, and when the number of operations reaches “3 times”, the light emission instruction command DFH11H is output.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 is provided with a sub CPU 32a. A ROM 32b and a RAM 32c are connected to the sub CPU 32a. A variable display H2 is connected to the display control board 32 (sub CPU 32a). The ROM 32b stores a display control program for controlling the display contents of the variable display H2. The ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). Further, the sub CPU 32a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which the symbol variation game is started). The RAM 32c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

Next, the lamp control board 33 will be described with reference to FIG.
The lamp control board 33 is provided with a sub CPU 33a. A ROM 33b and a RAM 33c are connected to the sub CPU 33a. The lamp control board 33 (sub CPU 33a) is connected to frame lamp portions 16a to 16c. The lamp control board 33 (sub CPU 33a) is connected to a panel lamp portion BL (light emitters BL0 to BL12). The ROM 33b stores a light emission control program for controlling the light emission modes of the lamp units 16a to 16c and BL. The ROM 33b stores various light emission pattern data (pattern data such as the light emission mode and light emission timing of each lamp). Further, the sub CPU 33a has a timer function, and measures time at a predetermined timing (for example, timing at which the symbol variation game is started). The RAM 33c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Next, various processes such as a winning process and a variation pattern determination process executed by the main CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a of the main control board 30 that executes the following various processes based on the main control program functions as a big hit determination unit and an effect pattern determination unit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery). (Step S21). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In the normal state (when the probability is low), the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549. When the probability change state (when the probability is high), the determination of the jackpot determination The probability that the result is affirmative (big hit probability) is 40/1549.

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

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H0 is classified into one of symbols A to D and F to H. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “9” is Special figure jackpot symbols classified as special figure A and corresponding to special figure distributed random numbers “10” and “11” are classified as special figure B and correspond to special figure distributed random numbers “12” to “14”. The special bonus jackpot symbol is classified as special figure C. Further, when displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbols of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “15” to “32” are classified into the special figure D, and the special figure distributed random number “ The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “33” to “42” is classified as special symbol F, and the special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to the special symbol distribution random numbers “43” to “74” is classified as the special symbol G. Is done. When displayed on the first special figure display H0, the big hit symbol of the special figure corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “75” to “99” is classified into the special figure H. Thereby, in step S23, the main CPU 30a determines a symbol classified as the symbol A as a jackpot symbol with a probability of 10/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as symbol B with a probability of 2/100 and is classified as symbol C in step S23. The symbol to be classified as symbol D is determined with a probability of 18/100. Similarly, since the special symbol variation processing flag is set to [0], the main CPU 30a determines the symbol classified as the symbol F with a probability of 10/100 and is classified as the symbol G in step S23. The symbol that is classified into the symbol H is determined with a probability of 25/100.

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for the jackpot effect according to the identified jackpot game and the gaming state (step S24). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines whether the lottery state of the big hit lottery is a high probability state (probability variation state) and information indicating whether the open state of the opening / closing blade 26 is supported (probability variation). Flag and operation flag) are stored in the RAM 30c, and the gaming state is grasped based on the information. Specifically, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, C, D, and H, the main CPU 30a determines a normal variation pattern for jackpot effect. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a has a normal variation including a normal variation pattern P3b dedicated to support when the gaming state is supported and the final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, C, D, and H. A variation pattern is determined from the patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b. Further, when the game state is no support and the final stop symbol is classified into symbols A, C, D, and H, the main CPU 30a is dedicated to support, and the normal variation patterns P1 and P2 other than the normal variation pattern , P3a to determine a variation pattern. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols B, F, and G, the main CPU 30a determines a special variation pattern for jackpot effect. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines the special variation pattern P4b dedicated to support when the gaming state is a state with support and the final stop symbol is classified into symbols B, F, and G. The main CPU 30a determines a special variation pattern P4a other than the special variation pattern dedicated to support when the gaming state is no support and the final stop symbol is classified into symbols B, F, and G.

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

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

  When the determination result of step S26 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S27). Then, the main CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be fixedly stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H0 from among the small hit symbols (symbol I) based on the special symbol based on the acquired small bonus symbol allocation random number. (Step S28). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game in accordance with the specified small hit symbol and the gaming state (step S29). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P5b for exclusive use with support and a small hit effect when the gaming state is supported and the final stop symbol is classified as the symbol I. Further, when the game state is not supported and the final stop symbol is classified as symbol I, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P5a for the small hit effect other than the variation pattern for the small hit effect exclusive for support. To decide.

  After determining the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, the main CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S25 and outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing as described above. The various processes related to the fluctuating game are executed, and the special symbol start process is terminated. After that, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main CPU 30a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the display device H0 are controlled. Further, the main CPU 30a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time determined in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination fixedly stopped.

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

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 18A, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and there is no support (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the first special diagram pending storage number is When it is “0” or “1”, the main CPU 30a affirms the reach determination with a probability of 34/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and there is no support (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a determines that the first special diagram hold storage number is “2”. Makes an affirmative determination of reach determination with a probability of 17/241. Similarly, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and there is no support (regardless of the presence or absence of the probable variation state), the main CPU 30a determines that the first special diagram hold storage number is “3”. Makes an affirmative determination of reach determination with a probability of 5/241. As described above, the greater the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the more first variable games that are held, the lower the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the faster the digestion of the first variation game held. On the other hand, the smaller the number of first special figure hold storage numbers, that is, the fewer the first variable games held, the higher the winning probability of reach determination. For this reason, when the number of the first special figure holding storage number is small, it is possible to increase the probability of executing the reach effect and lengthen the fluctuation time so that the first fluctuation game is not interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and there is support, the main CPU 30a makes a reach determination with a probability of 10/241 regardless of the winning probability of the jackpot determination and the number of first special figure holding memory. Make an affirmative decision. As a result, when there is support that makes it easy for the second variable game to be played, it is possible to suppress the execution of useless outlier reach effects and to quickly execute the first variable game that is put on hold.

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

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

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol fluctuation processing flag is “0” and there is no support, the main CPU 30a changes when the first special figure reservation storage number is “0” or “1”. A variation pattern P12 for a deviation effect having a time of 12 seconds or a variation pattern P14 for a deviation effect having a variation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and there is no support, the main CPU 30a has a variation time of 7 seconds when the first special diagram hold storage number is “2”. When the variation pattern P11 for production is determined and the first special figure holding storage number is “3”, the variation pattern P10 for production with a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the first variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the number of the first variation game being held, the more the first variation game being held can be executed more quickly. On the other hand, the smaller the first variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of first special figure holding storage numbers is small, it is possible to lengthen the fluctuation time, earn time for the game ball to win, and prevent the symbol fluctuation game from being interrupted.

  On the other hand, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and there is support, the main CPU 30a has a variation pattern P13 with a variation time of 15 seconds, a variation pattern P11 with 7 seconds, and a variation pattern P9 with 3 seconds. A variation pattern for the off-stage production is determined. The main CPU 30a selects the 15-second variation pattern P13 with high probability when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “0” and there is support. As a result, when there is a support that facilitates the second variable game, the variable time is lengthened to allow time for a game ball to be awarded to the second start winning opening 27.

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

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

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (hit lottery). (Step S38). In the present embodiment, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 4/1549 in the normal state (when the probability is low), and the probability variation state (when the probability is high). The probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (the jackpot probability) is 40/1549.

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

  Note that the special bonus jackpot symbol displayed on the second special symbol display H1 is classified into one of symbols a to e and h. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17 (b), when displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “15” to “27”, “59”, “60”, “ The special bonus jackpot symbol corresponding to “75” to “99” is classified as special figure a. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distributed random numbers “10”, “11”, “14”, “28” to “31” It is classified in FIG. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure big hits corresponding to special figure distribution random numbers “6” to “9”, “43” to “47”, “55” to “58” The symbol is classified as special figure c. In addition, when displayed on the second special figure display H1, the special figure jackpot symbol corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “32” to “39”, “48” to “50”, “54” The jackpot symbol of the special figure classified in FIG. D and corresponding to the special figure distribution random numbers “51” to “53” is classified into the special figure e. When displayed on the second special figure display H1, special figure distribution random numbers “0” to “5”, “12”, “13”, “40” to “42”, “61” to “74” The special jackpot symbol corresponding to "" is classified as a special figure h.

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

  After the process of step S40, the main CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined final stop symbol, and determines a variation pattern for the jackpot effect according to the identified jackpot game and game state (step S41). Specifically, the main CPU 30a determines that the determined final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, c, d, e, and h (ie, 15R special probability variable big hit game, step-up big hit game, 15R normal probability variable big hit game. , 15R probability change secret big hit game and 15R normal non-probability big hit game) are determined from the normal variation patterns for the big hit effect. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a includes a support-only and normal variation pattern P3b when the gaming state is supported and the final stop symbol is classified into symbols a, c, d, e, and h. A fluctuation pattern is determined from the normal fluctuation patterns P1, P2, P3a, and P3b. Further, when the game state is no support and the final stop symbol is classified as symbols a, c, d, e, h, the main CPU 30a is dedicated to support, and the normal variation pattern P1 other than the normal variation pattern , P2, P3a to determine the variation pattern. On the other hand, when the determined final stop symbol is classified as symbol b (that is, when a jump-up jackpot game is determined), the main CPU 30a determines a special variation pattern for the jackpot effect. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 30a determines the special variation pattern P4b dedicated to support when the gaming state is supported and the final stop symbol is classified as the symbol b. The main CPU 30a determines the special variation pattern P4a other than the special variation pattern dedicated to support when the gaming state is no support and the final stop symbol is classified as the symbol b.

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

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

  When the determination result of step S43 is affirmative (in the case of small hit), the main CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is in the small hit (step S44). Then, the main CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 from the small bonus symbols (symbol i) based on the acquired special hit symbol distribution random number. Determine (step S45). Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for a small hit effect corresponding to the small hit game in accordance with the specified small hit symbol and the gaming state (step S46). In the present embodiment, when the gaming state is supported, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P5b dedicated to support and a small hit effect. Further, when the game state is not supported, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern P5a for small hit effect other than the variation pattern for dedicated support and small hit effect.

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

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S43 is negative (not a small hit), the main CPU 30a performs a reach determination that determines whether or not to execute a reach effect (step S47). Note that the reach determination value varies depending on the gaming state, the number of reserved memories, and the value of the special symbol variation processing flag. As shown in FIG. 17B, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and there is no support (regardless of the presence or absence of the probability variation state), the main CPU 30a makes a reach determination with a probability of 20/241. Make an affirmative decision. On the other hand, when the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and the support is provided and the probability variation state is given (when the winning probability of the big hit determination is high), the main CPU 30a has 7/241 Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability. In addition, the main CPU 30a has a special symbol variation processing flag of “1”, and when there is support, when the probability variation state is not given (when the winning probability of jackpot determination is low), 9/241 Affirmative determination of reach determination with probability.

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

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S47 is negative (when reach determination is not performed), the main CPU 30a determines the off-line symbol as the final stop symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display H1 (step S50). ). Next, the main CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns P9 to P13 for the offending effect (step S51). At this time, the determined variation pattern for the offending effect differs depending on the number of stored memories and the presence / absence of the support state (whether or not there is support).

  Specifically, when the value of the special symbol fluctuation processing flag is “1” and there is no support, the main CPU 30a changes when the second special figure reservation storage number is “0” or “1”. A variation pattern P12 for a deviation effect with a time of 12 seconds or a variation pattern P14 for a deviation effect with a variation time of 24 seconds is determined. Similarly, when the value of the special symbol variation processing flag is “1” and there is no support, the main CPU 30a has a variation time of 7 seconds when the second special diagram hold storage number is “2”. When the variation pattern P11 for production is determined and the second special figure holding memory number is “3”, the variation pattern P10 for production with a variation time of 4 seconds is determined. As described above, the variation pattern having a shorter variation time is determined as the number of the second variation games held is larger. For this reason, the more the second variation game being held, the faster the second variation game being held can be executed. On the other hand, the smaller the second variation game held, the longer the variation pattern is determined. For this reason, when the number of second special figure reservation storage numbers is small, it is possible to increase the fluctuation time and earn time for the game ball to win, so that the symbol fluctuation game is not interrupted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  At that time, when the 15R special probability variation big hit game is awarded, the main CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted, and also grants the gaming state with support. The operation flag “1” shown is set. When the probability variation flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the probability variation state is assigned. When “0” is set, the probability variation state is not assigned (normally State is given). Similarly, when “1” is set in the operation flag, it indicates that the support state (entrance rate improvement state) is given, and when “0” is set, the support state is set. It shows that (entrance rate improvement state) is not given.

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

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

Next, control when a jump-up jackpot game is awarded will be described.
When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command and starts measuring the opening time (0.004 seconds). Next, when the opening time elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and at the same time the round game time T4 (max 29. 92 seconds). In this embodiment, the main CPU 30a performs the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the first round of each of the 15 special probability variable jackpot game, 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, and 15R normal non-probability jackpot game. Performs control with different game content.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), the main CPU 30a is configured on the condition that the maximum winning opening door 28 of the large winning opening device 29 has not entered the upper limit number of game balls. , Open up to 3 times. The numbers “1” to “3” in FIG. 19A indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal to open the large winning opening door 28 of the first large winning opening apparatus 29, and also wins a grand prize to the overall control board 31. An opening command for instructing the number of times of opening of the special winning opening door 28 of the mouth device 29 is output. At the time of the first opening, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening command for instructing the number of opening “1 (first)”. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 of the special prize opening device 29 is opened (first opening), and if the opening time T1 (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, 1 A closing signal is output in order to end the opening of the big winning opening door 28 of the second big winning opening apparatus 29. At the same time, the main CPU 30 a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of times of closing of the special prize opening door 28 to the overall control board 31. At the first closing time, the main CPU 30a outputs a closing command for instructing the number of closing times “1 (first time)”.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 seconds) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the second prize winning door 28 and the number of times the prize winning door 28 is opened to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “2 (second)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T1 (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the second big prize opening door 28 is reached. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the second prize opening door 28 is closed (second closing).

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (second closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INb (2.92 seconds) of the intra-round interval set between the second opening and the third opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INb has elapsed, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal as the third large winning opening door 28 is opened, and the number of times the large winning opening door 28 is opened to the overall control board 31. The release command instructing “3 (first time)” is output. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (third opening), and when the opening time T2 (max 24.36 seconds) has elapsed, the third big prize opening door is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a closing signal is output, and a closing command is output to the overall control board 31 to instruct the number of times the third prize winning door 28 is closed (third closing).

  Note that the main CPU 30a ends the round game when the number of game balls that have entered the grand prize winning door 28 during the round game reaches the upper limit number of balls (specified number). For this reason, even in the jump-up jackpot game, when a maximum number of game balls are entered during the first round game, the main CPU 30a ends the round game at that time. For example, at the time of the third release, if a maximum number of game balls are entered before the opening time T2 has elapsed, the round game is terminated at that time.

  Then, the main CPU 30a that ended the round game of the first round performs control so that each round game from the second round is executed, and then the ending is executed, like the 15R special probability variable big hit game. That is, as shown in FIG. 19A, the main CPU 30a sets the interval time INc (2) of the interval between rounds set between the first round and the second round in order to start the round game of the second round. .0 seconds), a round command corresponding to the second round is output. Then, the main CPU 30a ends the second round game when the end condition (elapse of the round game time T3 (25 seconds) or the upper limit number of balls entered) is satisfied in the second round game. Thereafter, similarly, the main CPU 30a controls the round games of the third to fifteenth rounds. When the round game of the 15th round is completed, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDa (5.568 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the big hit game and sets [1] to the probability change flag and the operation flag. Further, the main CPU 30a sets 10000 times as the probability variation state giving frequency and the operation frequency. The main CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0].

  When the main CPU 30a determines the small hit (when [1] is set in the small hit flag), the main CPU 30a starts the control of the small hit game after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern. A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the control board 31 (the general CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the control when the small hit game is awarded will be described in detail.

  When the symbol variation game ends, the main CPU 30a outputs a round command corresponding to the first round in order to start the first round game, and the round game time T21 (max 2.64 seconds) shown in FIG. ) Measurement starts. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19C, the main CPU 30a opens the grand prize winning door 28 at most twice on condition that the upper limit number of game balls have not entered. . The numbers “1” and “2” in FIG. 19C indicate the number of times of opening. The main CPU 30a that starts the first round game first outputs an opening signal as opening of the first grand prize winning door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (first opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.32 seconds) has elapsed, the main big winning opening door 28 is opened. In order to finish opening 28, a close signal is output.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time after closing the grand prize winning door 28 (first closing). At this time, the main CPU 30a measures the interval time INa (2.0 (seconds)) of the in-round interval set between the first opening and the second opening of the special winning opening door 28. Next, when the interval time INa elapses, the main CPU 30a outputs an opening signal to open the second big prize opening door 28. Then, the main CPU 30a measures the time after the grand prize opening door 28 is opened (second opening), and when the opening time T22 (0.32 (seconds)) has elapsed, the second big winning prize is received. In order to end the opening of the door 28, a closing signal is output. Thereby, the round game in the small hit game is completed.

  Next, the main CPU 30a measures the time from the end of the round game. Then, the main CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the elapse of the interval time INc (2.0 seconds) and starts measuring the ending time EDb (0.936 seconds). After the ending time has elapsed, the main CPU 30a ends the small hit game. Then, the main CPU 30a sets (clears) the small hit flag to [0]. In the case of a small hit game, since the game state at the time of winning a small hit is maintained, the main CPU 30a maintains the current state of both the probability variation flag and the operation flag (no new value is set).

  By executing the big hit game and the small hit game in this way, in this embodiment, in the first round of the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the small hit game and the big prize door A state is created in which the 28 open modes are the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, in the first round of the jump-up jackpot game, the first release time T1 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second release time. The winning opening door 28 is opened twice by multiplying T1 (0.32 seconds) = 2.64 (seconds). As shown in FIG. 19B, in the 2R special probability variable big hit game and the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, the first round game time T11 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) +2 The grand prize opening door 28 is opened twice with the round game time T11 (0.32 seconds) = 2.64 (seconds) of the round. Further, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the small hit game, the first opening time T22 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds) + second opening time T22 (0.32 seconds). ) = Round game time T21 (2.64 seconds) is multiplied and the special winning opening door 28 is opened twice. In other words, in the jump-up jackpot game, the time from the first opening of the first prize opening door 28 to the end of the second round, the 2R special probability variable jackpot game, the 2R normal probability variable jackpot game, The time from the start of the first opening of the big winning door 28 in the small hit game to the end of the second opening is set to “2.64 (seconds)”. That is, in the jump-up jackpot game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit game, the grand prize winning door 28 is opened in the same opening mode for “2.64 (seconds)”. become.

  From the above, in the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, even if the open state of the big prize opening door 28 is visually confirmed, it is not possible to distinguish between 2R special probability variable big hit games, 2R normal probability variable big hit games, and small hit games. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, the 2R normal probability variable big hit game, and the small hit are made after the start of the first round until the third release. Cannot be distinguished from games. As a result, even if the player opens the prize winning door 28 twice in a short time (0.32 seconds), whether the game is a jump-up jackpot game or a probability-changing two-round jackpot game from the open mode. Or whether it is a small hit game.

  In addition, in the 15R special probability variable jackpot game, the 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, the step-up jackpot game, the 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, and the 15R normal non-probability jackpot game, the first prize winning door 28 for the first to tenth rounds. The opening mode is the same. Therefore, from the opening state of the big winning door 28 up to the 1st to 10th rounds, 15R special probability variation jackpot game, 15R probability variation secret jackpot game, step-up jackpot game, 15R normal probability variation jackpot game, 15R normal non-probability variation It is not possible to recognize which jackpot game is a jackpot game.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, the 11th round big winning door 28 of the step-up jackpot game is opened, the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game 11 The opening mode of the grand prize winning door 28 up to the 15th round is the same. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, in the eleventh round of the step-up jackpot game, the grand opening door with the opening time T6 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INa (2.0 seconds). 28 is opened and closed 5 times. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20B, in the 15R probability variation secret big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the release time T8 (0. 32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds). In other words, in the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game, the release time T8 (0.32 seconds) + interval time INc (2.0 seconds) from the 11th round onwards. In this manner, the special winning opening door 28 is opened and closed five times. In other words, the 11th round big win game 28 opening mode of the step-up jackpot game, the 15R probability variable concealment big hit game, the 15R normal probability variable big hit game, and the 15R normal non-probability big hit game up to the 11th to 15th round The opening mode of the winning opening door 28 is the same. Therefore, from the eleventh round until the grand prize winning door 28 is opened and closed five times, any of the big hit games of the 15R probability variation concealment big hit game, the step-up big hit game, and the 15R normal probability variable big hit game from the open mode. I can't recognize it.

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

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

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

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

  Next, the main CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination (step S76). In the present embodiment, the normal hit determination value is changed depending on whether or not there is support (whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given). And in the normal state without support (when the entrance rate improvement state is not given), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (normal hit probability) is 30/251, and the normal state with support In this case (when the entrance rate improvement state is given), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (normal hit probability) is 240/251.

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

  Thereafter, the main CPU 30a determines a general variation pattern from a plurality of types of general variation patterns (step S79). The normal variation pattern is determined in the normal state without support (when the entrance rate improvement state is not granted), and in the normal state with support (when the entrance rate improvement state is (When granted) and is classified as a support-use common figure variation pattern. Furthermore, two types of patterns with different variation times are provided as the support regular pattern variation patterns in the present embodiment. Specifically, the first normal pattern fluctuation pattern (second normal symbol fluctuation pattern) having a long fluctuation time of 10000 ms and the second normal figure fluctuation pattern (first of 5000 ms shorter than the fluctuation time of the first normal figure fluctuation pattern). 1 normal symbol variation pattern) is provided. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, there is only one type of general map variation pattern with support, and the variation time is shorter than the variation time of either the first general diagram variation pattern or the second general diagram variation pattern (1000 ms). ) Is the third common map fluctuation pattern.

  Then, in step S79, the main CPU 30a determines the third common map variation pattern when support is provided, and if there is no support, the main CPU 30a selects either the first general map variation pattern or the second general diagram variation pattern. To decide. When there is no support, the main CPU 30a determines the first common map variation pattern with a probability of 91/101, while determining the second general map variation pattern with a probability of 10/101.

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

When determining the normal hit, the main CPU 30a executes the control related to the normal hit game after the normal game based on the determined normal fluctuation pattern.
When the normal game is over, the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 three times when the game is supported, and is normally electrically driven so that 1160 ms elapses after the opening of each opening. The accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled.

  On the other hand, the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 once when the normal game is over and when the support symbol is [1] when there is no support, and the main CPU 30a opens the open / close blade 26 once. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 300 ms elapses. In addition, when the normal game is over, the main CPU 30a is in the case of no support, and when the normal symbol hit pattern is [2], the main CPU 30a opens the opening / closing blade 26 once and opens it. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so that the open state is maintained until 2500 ms elapses.

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

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

  Next, various processes executed by the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 based on the overall control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a of the overall control board 31 that executes the following various processes based on the overall control program functions as an operation setting unit and a light emission control unit.

  When a predetermined control command is input from the main CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall CPU 31a outputs a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing accordingly. More specifically, when the general CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the variation pattern designation command to each of the control boards 32-34. Similarly, when the opening CPU, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall CPU 31a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to the control boards 32 to 34, respectively.

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

  More specifically, the general CPU 31a is dedicated to support the specified variation pattern, and is a normal variation pattern P1, P2, P3a other than the normal variation pattern, and the designated final stop symbol corresponds to the 15R special probability variation big hit game. In the case of a jackpot symbol, a 15R special probability variation jackpot game is given as a symbol pattern combination, and a symbol combination [777] based on a specific symbol that can recognize a jackpot, or a chance to win a large number of prize balls. , Which suggests that there is a possibility that a probability variation state may be given, and a symbol combination of chances to recognize a big hit ([111], [222], [333], [444], [555], [666], [888]). In addition, the general CPU 31a is dedicated to supporting the specified variation pattern, and is a normal variation pattern P1, P2, P3a other than the normal variation pattern, and the designated final stop symbol is a step-up jackpot game, 15R special probability variation jackpot In the case of a jackpot symbol corresponding to a game, a 15R normal probability variable jackpot game, a 15R probability variable secret jackpot game, or a 15R normal non-probable bonus game, a symbol combination of chances is determined as a symbol symbol pattern combination. That is, when the designated variation pattern is the normal variation pattern P1, P2, P3a, the overall CPU 31a has the symbols of all columns stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 as the same type as the symbol combination that can recognize the big hit. Determine the symbol combination.

  Further, the general CPU 31a is a case where the designated variation pattern is supported and is a normal variation pattern P3b, and the designated final stop pattern is a step-up big hit game, a 15R special probability variable big hit game, or a 15R normal probability variable big hit game. Then, the symbol combination of the specific symbol or the symbol combination of the chance is determined as the symbol combination of the decorative symbols. On the other hand, if the designated variation pattern is a dedicated and normal variation pattern, and the designated final stop symbol is a 15R probability variable concealment big hit game or a 15R normal non-probability variable big hit game, the general CPU 31a has a decorative symbol design. As a combination, a symbol combination based on a special symbol in which the left symbol and the right symbol stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are the same type and the middle symbol is a special symbol is determined. That is, in the present embodiment, when an effect result of “winning” in the battle effect is derived, a symbol combination in which the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are the same type is derived. For this reason, when the symbol combination from which all the symbols stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 by the battle effect are of the same type is derived, it is possible to make the player recognize that the probability variation state is given. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when an effect result of “defeat” is derived in the battle effect, the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2 are of the same type and the middle symbol is a special symbol. A symbol combination by symbol is derived. For this reason, when the symbol combination by a special symbol is derived | led-out to the variable display H2 by battle production, it can be made to recognize that the probable state may be provided to the player.

  Further, the general CPU 31a determines that the specified variation pattern is the special variation pattern P4a, P4b, and that the designated final stop symbol corresponds to the jump-up big hit game, the 2R special probability variable big hit game, or the 2R normal probability variable big hit game. In the case of a symbol, the symbol combination suggesting the probability change is determined as the symbol combination of the decorative symbol. Then, the overall CPU 31a displays the same symbols as the left symbol and the right symbol which are stopped and displayed on the variable display H2, and the middle symbol is a numeric symbol, and is stopped and displayed on the left symbol and the right symbol, as a symbol combination that suggests probability change. The next symbol combination is determined in the order of symbol variation. In addition, when the designated variation pattern is the variation pattern P5a, P5b for the small hit effect and the designated final stop symbol is the small hit symbol, the overall CPU 31a jumps the big hit game, 2R special probability variation Similar to the big hit game, 2R normal probability change big hit game, the symbol combination suggesting the probability change is determined. In the present embodiment, when an effect result of “draw” is derived in the battle effect, a symbol combination that suggests probability variation is derived on the variable display H2.

  Further, when the designated variation pattern is the variation pattern P6 to P8 for reach production, and the designated final stop symbol is a loss symbol, the overall CPU 31a can recognize the loss due to the combination of the reach symbols. Decide on a reach symbol combination. In addition, when the designated variation pattern is the variation pattern P9 to P14 for the offending effect and the designated final stop symbol is the outlier symbol, the overall CPU 31a is the reach symbol combination or the probability variation suggestion symbol combination. A combination of outliers that can recognize different outliers is determined. Then, the overall CPU 31 a outputs a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design of each column to the display control board 32. In addition, when the overall CPU 31a inputs an all symbols stop command, the overall CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the process related to the specified lamp change effect is executed by the overall CPU 31a when specifying the effect contents of each lamp change effect based on the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a. .

Next, the processing content related to each lamp change effect will be described based on the variation pattern determined by the main CPU 30a.
First, the determination of the number of operations related to the first system lamp change effect will be described.

  When the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern that specifies the effect contents of the first system lamp variation effect, the overall CPU 31a determines the number of operations before the execution of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern. An operation number lottery for determining the number of operations based on the random number is performed at each stage. That is, the overall CPU 31a acquires the operation frequency distribution random number for each stage, and determines the operation frequency for each stage with reference to the acquired operation frequency distribution random number and the operation frequency determination tables TA1 and TA2. . When the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern that specifies the effect contents of the first system lamp variation effect and is a variation pattern for the outlier reach effect, the overall CPU 31a performs the operation count determination table TA1. The number of operations is lottery using. On the other hand, the general CPU 31a is a variation pattern in which the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern for specifying the content of the first system lamp variation effect, and is a normal variation pattern (a variation pattern for the big hit effect). In some cases, the operation frequency determination table TA2 is used to perform the operation frequency lottery. Then, the overall CPU 31a stores the number of operations determined by the operation number lottery in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 31c for each stage. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a collectively determines the number of operations at each stage with the start of the symbol variation game.

Next, determination of the number of operations related to the second system lamp change effect will be described.
When the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is a variation pattern that specifies the effect content of the second system lamp variation effect, the overall CPU 31a determines the number of operations before the execution of the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern. An operation number lottery for determining the number of operations based on the random number is performed at each stage. That is, the overall CPU 31a acquires the operation frequency distribution random number for each stage, and determines the operation frequency for each stage with reference to either the acquired operation frequency distribution random number or the operation frequency determination tables TB1 and TB2. . When the general CPU 31a specifies that the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern designation command is dedicated to support, is the normal variation pattern P3b, and derives the effect of defeating the battle effect, the operation count determination table The operation number lottery is performed using TB1. On the other hand, the general CPU 31a derives an effect result of “winning” with a resurrection effect in a battle effect, which is a normal change pattern P3b that is dedicated to the change pattern specified by the change pattern specifying command. When specifying, the operation frequency determination table TB2 is used to perform the operation frequency lottery. In the present embodiment, the general CPU 31a has a predetermined probability when the normal variation pattern P3b is designated and the final stop symbol is a symbol corresponding to a 15R special probability variable big hit game, a step-up big hit game, or a 15R normal probability variable big hit game. In the battle production, whether or not to accompany the revival production is drawn. Then, the overall CPU 31a stores the number of operations determined by the operation number lottery in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 31c for each stage. In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a collectively determines the number of operations at each stage with the start of the symbol variation game.

Next, processing during execution of each lamp change effect will be described.
The overall CPU 31a that has determined the number of operations related to each lamp change effect is an effect button at a predetermined timing when a predetermined time elapses from the start of the game in a symbol change game based on a change pattern that specifies the content of the effect of each lamp change effect. An operation effective period for enabling the operation of the BT is started, and an effective period start command for instructing start of the operation effective period is output to the display control board 32 and the lamp control board 33. The overall CPU 31a notifies the player of the start of the operation effective period by turning on the lamp of the effect button BT along with the start of the effective period. During the operation effective period, the overall CPU 31a counts the number of times that the effect button BT is operated since the operation effective period is started (the number of times that the operation of the effect button BT is determined to be effective), and the count value is the RAM 31c. It is determined whether or not the number of operations for proceeding to the next stage has been reached from the current light emission mode stored in. When the count value of the number of times that the effect button BT has been operated since the start of the operation valid period has reached the number of operations, the overall CPU 31a performs display control of a light emission instruction command for instructing the next light emission mode. Output to the board 32 and the lamp control board 33.

  For example, when the overall CPU 31a starts the operation effective period in the first system lamp change effect, and the count value of the number of times the effect button BT is operated reaches the number of operations for proceeding from step 0 to step 1. The light emission instruction command DBH00H is output to the display control board 32 and the lamp control board 33. Further, the general CPU 31a starts the operation effective period in the second system lamp change effect, and the count value of the number of times that the effect button BT has been operated reaches the number of operations for proceeding from step 0 to step 1. The light emission instruction command DFH10H is output to the display control board 32 and the lamp control board 33.

  In the present embodiment, the overall CPU 31a recognizes the current stage of the light emission mode in each lamp change effect from the type of the light emission instruction command that is output after setting the operation valid period, and in which stage as the number of operations. It knows whether to refer to the determined number of operations. For example, in the first system lamp change effect, the overall CPU 31a refers to the number of operations for advancing the light emission mode from step 1 to step 2 after the output of the light emission instruction command DBH00H. Further, the overall CPU 31a refers to the number of operations for advancing the light emission mode from step 1 to step 2 after the output of the light emission instruction command DFH10H in the second system lamp change effect. The general CPU 31a outputs a light emission instruction command for instructing the light emission mode at the initial stage (step 0) of each lamp change effect as a light emission instruction command at the start of the operation effective period in each lamp change effect. The number of operations for advancing the light emission stage from step 0 to step 1 by referring to the output of the command is referred to.

  The overall CPU 31a repeatedly executes these processes until the operation effective period ends, and updates the count value of the number of times the effect button BT is operated each time the effect button BT is operated, Each time the count value reaches the number of operations for progressing from the current stage to the next stage, a corresponding light emission instruction command is output. That is, the processing contents related to each lamp change effect of the overall CPU 31a during the operation valid period include a process of counting the number of times based on the operation of the effect button BT, and a predetermined light emission instruction when the count value reaches the number of operations. Processing to output commands. Subsequently, the general CPU 31a starts the effective operation period and then determines the time for each lamp change effect (10 seconds (10000 ms) for the first system lamp change effect, 3 seconds (3000 ms) for the second system lamp change effect). When the time has elapsed, the operation effective period is ended, and an effective period end command for instructing the end of the operation effective period is output to the display control board 32 and the lamp control board 33. The overall CPU 31a sets information indicating “0 times” as an initial value to the count value of the number of times that the effect button BT has been operated, and reaches the number of operations determined in each stage or sets the operation valid period. Information indicating that the count value is “0 times” is reset every time it is finished.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the first system lamp change effect and the second system lamp change effect having different effect effects can be executed by the same panel lamp unit BL. In the present embodiment, by executing the first system lamp change effect, an effect having a higher impact than that in the case of causing a part of the game board 13 to emit light is realized, and the change in the light emission color due to the change in the light emission mode is achieved. The visual effect can be improved. Further, in the present embodiment, by executing the second system lamp change effect, the player's action that the light emitting portion increases as the number of times the player operates the effect button BT increases directly in the effect. It is possible to improve the feeling of participating in the game by giving the player the feeling that it is reflected in the game. In addition, the overall CPU 31a is configured such that these lamp change effects having different effects can be controlled by the same process. Then, by adopting a configuration in which the number of operations at each stage is determined collectively with the start of the symbol variation game, the processing contents related to each lamp change effect of the overall CPU 31a during the operation effective period are the effect button BT. The process of counting the number of times based on the above operation and the process of outputting a predetermined light emission instruction command when the count value reaches the number of operations. Therefore, it is possible to execute each lamp change effect having different effect effects without complicating the process related to the effect based on the operation of the effect button BT.

Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described.
When the sub CPU 32a inputs a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the variation pattern designation command, the display of the variable display H2 is displayed so that the decorative symbols are variably displayed with the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command to start the symbol combination game. Control the content. When the sub CPU 32a inputs the all symbol stop command, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the symbol combination designated by the inputted decoration design designation command is displayed on the variable display H2. By this control, the symbol change game is performed on the variable display H2.

  Further, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to execute an effect of notifying the player that the operation effective period has started when the effective period start command is input. In the variable display H2 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23A, a display effect for displaying “PUSH” on the display screen is executed. Further, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the valid period end command, the variable display unit is configured to hide the “PUSH” displayed on the image on the variable display unit H2 and notify the player that the operation valid period has ended. The display content of H2 is controlled. Further, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so that the display effect based on the input light emission instruction command is executed in synchronization with each lamp change effect when each light emission instruction command is input.

  In the first ramp change effect in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, a display effect is derived that derives a numerical value indicating the degree of jackpot expectation that is associated in advance with the stage of the light emission mode at the end time, with the end of the operation effective period. It is like that. That is, in the first system lamp change effect, the sub CPU 32a grasps the current stage of the light emission mode according to the type of the light emission instruction command when the light emission instruction command is input, and triggers the input of the effective period end command. In addition, the display content of the variable display H2 is controlled so as to derive a numerical value indicating the big hit expectation degree corresponding to the stage of the light emission mode at the time of input.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the light emission instruction command DBH00H as the light emission instruction command, and the step of the light emission mode at the end of the operation effective period is step 1, “11-19 (% ) "Is determined by a predetermined ratio (in this embodiment, the same ratio), and is derived with white characters. Further, when the sub CPU 32a has input the light emission instruction command DBH01H as the light emission instruction command and the step of the light emission mode at the end of the operation valid period is step 2, any one of the values “31 to 39 (%)” is set. Is determined by a predetermined ratio (the same ratio in this embodiment) and is derived by blue characters. Further, when the sub CPU 32a has input the light emission instruction command DBH02H as the light emission instruction command and the step of the light emission mode at the end of the operation valid period is step 3, any numerical value of “51 to 59 (%)”. Is determined by a predetermined ratio (the same ratio in the present embodiment) and is derived by yellow characters. In addition, when the sub CPU 32a inputs the light emission instruction command DBH03H as the light emission instruction command, and the step of the light emission mode at the end of the operation effective period is step 4, any numerical value of “71 to 79 (%)”. Is determined by a predetermined ratio (the same ratio in this embodiment) and is derived by red characters. In addition, when the sub CPU 32a has input the light emission instruction command DBH04H as the light emission instruction command and the step of the light emission mode at the end of the operation valid period is step 5, "100 (%)" is derived with rainbow characters. It is supposed to let you. Note that if the sub CPU 32a has not input any light emission instruction command and the step of the light emission mode at the end of the operation effective period is step 0, any one of “11 to 19 (%)” is predetermined. (The same ratio in the present embodiment) and is derived by white characters.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the second lamp change effect, a display effect is performed in which the background color of the display screen is changed in accordance with the progress of the light emission mode. That is, in the second system lamp change effect, the sub CPU 32a controls the display content of the variable display H2 so as to change the background color of the display screen in accordance with the input of the light emission instruction command when the light emission instruction command is input. In this embodiment, the background color is set to black according to the light emission mode of Step 1 of the panel lamp unit BL, the background color is set to white according to the light emission mode of Step 2, and the background color is set according to the light emission mode of Step 3. The background color is changed to blue, the background color is changed to yellow according to the emission mode of Step 4, the background color is changed to red according to the emission mode of Step 5, and the background color is changed to rainbow according to the emission mode of Step 6. Further, in order to cause the second system lamp change effect to be performed after deriving the effect of “defeat” in the battle effect, the sub CPU 32a displays the display content of the variable display H2 so as to display the display image of “defeat”. Control. Further, when the general CPU 31a inputs the light emission instruction command DFH15H as the light emission instruction command, an image of “Restoration confirmation” is displayed.

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

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

  Next, various processes executed by the sub CPU 33a of the lamp control board 33 based on the light emission control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 33a of the lamp control board 33 that executes the following various processes based on the light emission control program functions as the light emission control means.

  When the sub CPU 33a receives a control command from the overall control board 31 (overall CPU 31a), the sub CPU 33a performs control according to the input control command based on the light emission control program. Specifically, when the sub CPU 33a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub CPU 33a controls the light emission mode of each of the lamp units 16a to 16c, BL so as to perform a light emission effect based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. .

  In addition, when the sub-CPU 33a inputs an effective period start command, the sub CPU 33a executes each lamp change effect with the start of the operation effective period. Then, the sub CPU 33a controls the light emission mode of the panel lamp unit BL so that the light emission mode in the initial stage (step 0) is obtained when each lamp change effect is executed. Further, when the sub CPU 33a inputs the light emission instruction command, the sub CPU 33a controls the light emission mode of the panel lamp unit BL so that the light emission mode according to the input light emission command is obtained. For example, when the sub CPU 33a inputs the light emission instruction command DBH00H, the sub CPU 33a controls the light emission mode of the panel lamp unit BL so that each light emitter emits white light. Further, when the sub CPU 33a inputs the light emission instruction command DFH10H, the sub CPU 33a controls the light emission mode of the panel lamp unit BL so that the light emitters BL11 and BL12 emit light. Further, when the sub CPU 33a inputs the valid period end command, the sub CPU 33a terminates each lamp change effect at a predetermined timing (for example, one second after the input of the valid period end command), and the light effect of the effect of the game being executed. The light emission mode of the panel lamp unit BL is controlled so as to execute.

Next, an effect mode of each lamp change effect will be described based on FIGS. 23 (a) to 23 (e) and FIGS. 24 (a) to 24 (f).
First, the first system lamp change effect will be described.

  When the first lamp change effect is started and the effect button BT is operated for the number of operations for proceeding from step 0 to step 1, the panel lamp unit BL emits no light from any light emitter. From the mode, each light emitter emits white light (the white pattern in FIG. 23A), and changes to the light mode of step 1 (FIG. 23A). In the variable display H2, since the operation is valid, a display effect for displaying “PUSH” as an image is executed.

  Similarly, every time the production button BT is operated by the number of operations for causing the current light emission mode to proceed to the next light emission mode, the panel lamp unit BL is shown in FIGS. 23 (b) to 23 (e). Thus, each light emitter changes from the current light emission mode to the next light emission mode. Then, in the panel lamp portion BL, if the light emission color of each light emitter is white, the light is emitted in blue (dot pattern in FIG. 23B), and if the light emission color of each light emitter is blue, it is yellow. Changes to step 3 (dot pattern in FIG. 23C). In the panel lamp portion BL, if the light emission color of each light emitter is yellow, the light is emitted in red (in FIG. 23 (d), the hatched pattern). If the light emission color of each light emitter is red, a rainbow is displayed. It changes to step 5 (flash pattern in FIG.23 (e)) which light-emits a color.

  In the variable display H2, the display effect for displaying the image of “PUSH” is continuously executed. At the end of the operation effective period, when the light emission mode is step 5 as shown in FIG. 23 (e), the variable indicator H2 displays “100%” as the numerical value of the jackpot expectation corresponding to the light emission mode of step 5. "Is displayed as an image. Further, on the variable display H2, the numerical value of the jackpot expectation corresponding to the light emission mode at the end of the operation effective period is displayed as an image.

Next, the second system lamp change effect will be described.
When the second lamp change effect is started and the effect button BT is operated for the number of operations for proceeding from step 0 to step 1, the board lamp portion BL emits light without any light emitters emitting light. The mode is changed to the light emission mode of Step 1 in which the light emitters BL11 and BL12 emit light (FIG. 24A). The variable display H2 displays “defeat” as an image, and displays a display effect of displaying “PUSH” as the operation is valid. In the variable display H2, the background color of the display screen changes to black corresponding to the light emission mode.

  Similarly, every time the production button BT is operated by the number of times of operation for causing the current light emission mode to proceed to the next light emission mode, the board lamp portion BL is shown in FIGS. Thus, each light emitter changes from the current light emission mode to the next light emission mode. In the panel lamp portion BL, if the light emitters BL11 and BL12 emit light, in step 2 (FIG. 24B) in which the light emitters BL9 and BL10 emit light in addition to these light emitters (FIG. 24B), the light emitter BL9. If .about.BL12 emits light, the process changes to step 3 (FIG. 24C) in which the light emitters BL7 and BL8 emit light in addition to these light emitters. Further, in the panel lamp portion BL, if the light emitters BL7 to BL12 emit light, in step 4 (FIG. 24 (d)), the light emitters BL5 and BL6 emit light in addition to these light emitters. If .about.BL12 emits light, the process changes to step 5 (FIG. 24 (e)) in which the light emitters BL3 and BL4 emit light in addition to these light emitters. If the light emitters BL3 to BL12 emit light, the process changes to step 6 (FIG. 24 (f)) in which the light emitters BL0 to BL2 emit light in addition to these light emitters.

  In the variable display H2, the display effect of displaying “defeat” and “PUSH” is continuously executed, and the background color of the display screen is changed according to the change in the light emission mode (black → white). → Blue → Yellow → Red → Rainbow) Further, when the light emission mode reaches Step 6, the variable display H2 displays an image of “Restoration confirmed” and informs the player that an effect result of “winning” by the resurrection effect is derived in the battle effect.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Since the player plays a game by firing a game ball toward the game board 13, the player always sees the board lamp portion BL around the game board 13. When a part of the game board 13 is caused to emit light by performing a light emission effect based on a variation pattern that specifies execution of the first system lamp change effect that causes the entire board lamp portion BL that is always visible to the player to emit light. In addition, it is possible to improve the visual effect on the change in the light emission color due to the change in the light emission mode, while realizing a higher impact production. Further, by performing the light emission effect based on the variation pattern that specifies the execution of the second system lamp change effect that increases the number of light emitters that emit light, the number of times the player operates the effect button BT increases. Thus, it is possible to improve the feeling that the player's behavior such as an increase in the light emitting part is directly reflected in the performance and that the player is participating in the game. Further, by making it possible to execute different effects with the same panel lamp unit BL, the panel lamp unit BL can control the light emission effects with different effect effects by the same process. Therefore, the interest of the game can be enhanced by increasing the variation of the effect using the effect button BT without complicating the process related to the effect based on the effect button BT.

  (2) In the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern that specifies the execution of the first system lamp change effect, the light emission mode can be changed step by step by operating the effect button BT, and when the big hit is determined It was possible to change to the final stage. On the other hand, even when the execution of the first system ramp change effect is specified and the jackpot is determined, the player cannot operate within the operation valid period as the number of operations at each stage. The number of operations (100 in the present embodiment) can be selected. For this reason, in the first system lamp change effect, the light emission mode may progress to the highest level by operating the effect button BT, while the light emission mode will progress to the highest level even when the big hit is determined. There is a possibility not to. For this reason, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern specifying the execution of the first system ramp variation effect, the player can be prompted to operate the effect button BT, and the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased.

  (3) In the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern that specifies the execution of the second system lamp change effect, the lighting mode can be changed one step at a time by operating the effect button BT, and the jackpot that gives the probability variation state is increased. When determined, it can be changed to the final stage. On the other hand, even when the execution of the second system lamp change effect is specified and the jackpot that gives the certain change state is determined, the game is performed within the operation effective period as the number of operations for each stage. The user can select the number of operations that cannot be performed (50 in this embodiment). For this reason, in the second system lamp change effect, the light emission mode may progress to the highest level by operating the effect button BT, while the highest level is determined even when the jackpot that gives the probability change state is determined. There is also a possibility that the light emission mode does not advance until. For this reason, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern specifying the execution of the second system ramp variation effect, the player can be prompted to operate the effect button BT, and the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased.

  (4) In each system lamp change effect, the overall CPU 31a determines the number of operations for each stage of the light emission mode. For this reason, the combination of the number of operations determined at each stage each time a variation pattern specifying execution of each system lamp change effect is selected is suppressed from being the same each time, and the player operates the effect button BT. It is possible to make it difficult to predict a change in the production based on. That is, it is possible to attract the player's interest to a change in the production that is difficult to predict based on the operation of the production button BT. Furthermore, when the variation pattern that specifies the execution of each system lamp change effect is selected, the overall CPU 31a determines the number of operations for each stage in accordance with the execution of the symbol variation game by the variation pattern. It is only necessary to determine whether or not the number of times that the effect button BT has been operated has reached the number of operations performed. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the fun of the game by providing the effect button BT without complicating the effect processing based on the effect button BT.

  (5) When a light emission effect based on a variation pattern specifying execution of the first system lamp change effect is performed, the jackpot expectation is associated with the light emission mode at the end of the operation effective period and the variable hit indicator H2 It was made to display with. That is, in the symbol variation game based on the variation pattern that specifies the execution of the first system lamp change effect, the big hit expectation is displayed according to the light emission mode, so the player is prompted to operate the effect button BT. Can increase the willingness to participate in games.

  (6) As the number of operations in each stage (two or more stages (step 2 or more) in the present embodiment) in the first system lamp change effect, the smallest number of operations (two to five in the present embodiment) among the number of operations. ) Is most difficult to select regardless of whether it is a big hit or not, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to predict the determination result of the big hit determination from the change in the light emission mode of the light emission effect. Furthermore, when the big hit is determined, it is easier for the player to select the smallest number of operations than when the loss is determined, so that the player can determine the big hit from the change in the light emission mode of the light effect. While making it difficult to predict the determination result, it is possible to create a tendency that the stage of the light emission mode proceeds more easily than the case of a big hit.

  (7) In the operation number determination tables TB1 and TB2 for the second system lamp change effect, using the table TB2 is determined as the number of operations for proceeding from step 2 to step 6 than when using the table TB1. The smallest number of operations (in this embodiment, “one time”) among the number of operations that can be performed is easily determined at each stage. For this reason, the change mode of the second system lamp change effect can be varied according to the effect result of the battle effect. The stage of the light emission mode proceeds more easily than the case of deriving. Therefore, the player can play the game while predicting the result of the battle effect from the progress mode of the light emission mode, and can improve the interest during the battle effect.

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the first system lamp change effect only needs to be configured so that the display effect of the variable display H2 can be executed synchronously, and a display effect that causes a character not related to the lottery of the big hit lottery to appear. May be configured to be executable.

  In the above embodiment, the display effect need not be synchronized with the variable lamp H2 for each system lamp change effect. Further, in each system lamp change effect, the sound effect by the speaker 17, the sound effect by the speaker 17, and the display effect by the variable display H2 can be executed in synchronization with each system lamp change effect.

  In the above embodiment, the determination timing of the number of operations in executing each system lamp change effect may be determined as the stage of each light emission mode progresses, not at the start of the symbol variation game. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the number of operations necessary for progressing to the next stage is determined each time.

In the above embodiment, in each system lamp change effect, the stage may be advanced to the highest level regardless of the lottery result of the big hit lottery.
In the above embodiment, when the operation of the effect button BT is not detected despite the execution of the first system lamp change effect and the light emission mode at the end of the operation valid period is step 0, the display dedicated to step 0 It can also be set as the structure which performs an effect. As a display effect dedicated to step 0, for example, an effect that prompts the player to operate the effect button BT in the next first system lamp change effect, such as “I wish I had pressed it”, is executed. You can also.

  In the above embodiment, in each system lamp change effect, the stage of the light emission mode can be changed to 4 stages or less or 7 stages or more. In addition, each system lamp change effect may adopt a configuration in which the upper limit of the light emission mode is not provided, and when the light emission mode proceeds to step 6, the process returns to the light emission mode of step 1 and this is repeated. May be.

  In the embodiment described above, it is determined by lottery whether to execute the first system ramp change effect or the second system lamp change effect in accordance with the start of the symbol variation game based on the specific variation pattern that specifies the execution of the ramp variation effect. It can also be configured to be determined and executed.

In the above embodiment, the number of light emitters constituting the board lamp portion BL may be changed as long as the light emitters are arranged on at least a part of the game board 13.
In the above embodiment, as long as the first system lamp change effect and the second lamp change effect are provided as the lamp change effects, the types may be changed to three or more types.

In the above embodiment, the first start winning opening 25 and the second start winning opening 27 are provided and the first variation game and the second variation game are executed. However, only one of them may be used.
