Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a hit determination means for determining whether or not a win and a symbol display means for executing a symbol variation effect.

  For example, a pachinko machine, which is one of the representative examples of gaming machines, has a gaming area where a pachinko ball as a gaming ball is launched on the surface of a gaming board set in the machine. A frame-shaped decorative member, also called a center accessory, is arranged at a substantially central position in the game area, and a plurality of symbols are displayed in a variable manner through the opening of the frame-shaped decorative member to produce a symbol variation effect. The symbol display device (symbol display means) such as a liquid crystal type or a drum type to be exposed is faced from the rear, and a variation in the symbol display device is started by a pachinko ball winning in a position below the frame-shaped decorative member on the game board. Many proposals have been made in which a start winning device (start winning means) is arranged. The pachinko balls flowing down the game area are configured to start a symbol variation effect on the symbol display device by winning a start winning device, and to pay out a predetermined number of pachinko balls as prize balls. As a result of the symbol variation effect, when the symbols stop in a predetermined combination on the symbol display device (for example, a triple of the same symbols, etc.), a so-called “winning” advantageous to the player occurs, and the special winning device special An opportunity to win a winning ball by opening the winning opening is given.

  In this type of pachinko machine, once the reach effect in the symbol variation effect is performed, it is shifted to a reach effect with a high level of reliability (expectation) called so-called super reach to increase the player's expectation There is something like that (see Patent Document 1). In addition, there is also a pachinko machine that once displayed a symbol combination that is out of place in Super Reach, and then developed it into a so-called “special reach” production with higher hit reliability, further enhancing the player's expectation. It has been.

  By the way, a plurality of types of variation patterns for specifying the above-mentioned super reach and special reach are set in order to increase the variety of effects, and the reliability of the hit is different for each variation pattern. However, the special reach (common development effect) that develops after the performance related to the super-reach with low reliability is executed is often selected as the special reach with relatively low reliability. That is, there is a certain correlation between the reliability of super reach and special reach, and after super reach with low reliability, it develops into special reach with low reliability, and super reach with high reliability. After that, it tends to develop into a highly reliable special reach. Therefore, when a super-reach with low reliability is executed, it is predicted to develop into a special reach with low reliability. Therefore, the player loses his expectation when the super-reach is executed. There was a problem.

  That is, the present invention has been proposed in order to solve these problems inherently in the gaming machine according to the prior art, and is developed thereafter regardless of the reliability of reach performance. An object is to provide a gaming machine capable of maintaining the expectation of common development effects.

A light-emitting display unit is composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) for displaying the number of stored first special figure start hold information at the lower right position outside the game area 20a in the game board 20. A special figure hold display section (first hold number display means) 52 is provided, and a light emitting display section is composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) for displaying the number of stored second special figure start hold information. A second special figure hold display section (second hold number display means) 53 is provided. That is, the first and second special figure hold display units 52 and 53 display the first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information on the first and second special figure hold display units 52 and 53, respectively. , 53 is notified of the number of the first special figure variation display and the second special figure variation display (the number of symbol variation effects) held on hold.

  Here, the number stored in the first special figure start hold information displayed on the first special figure hold display section 52 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a, and the first 1 is subtracted every time special figure change display (design change effect) is performed. Similarly, the number of stored second special figure start hold information displayed on the second special figure hold display section 53 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning prize port 31b, and the second 1 is subtracted every time special figure change display (design change effect) is performed. A predetermined upper limit number (in the embodiment, “4” is set) is set for the number of stored first and second special figure start hold information, and the first and second special figure start hold information up to the upper limit number is set. It is set to be able to add each of the stored numbers. Each of the first and second special figure hold display sections 52 and 53 is composed of a plurality of (two in the embodiment) LEDs arranged on the left and right, and each start hold storage number is from “1” to In the case of “2”, the corresponding special figure hold display sections 52 and 53 are sequentially lit from the left, and in the case where each start hold storage number is “3” to “4”, the corresponding special figure hold display sections 52 and 53 are displayed. By blinking 53 in order from the left, the player can grasp the number of stored hold information. That is, from the display modes of the first and second special figure hold display units 52 and 53, the player can recognize which start hold information the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation effect) to be executed is based on. It is like that.

(About the symbol display device 17)
In the symbol display device 17 according to the embodiment, substantially the entire image display surface 17a is a display area in which the decorative drawing can be variably displayed. In this display area, a plurality of symbol display columns 26a, 26b, and 26c are set, and each symbol display column 26a, 26b is triggered by winning at the first start winning port 31a or the second starting winning port 31b. , 26c, the decorative drawing starts to fluctuate. In addition, each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c is set with an effective stop position 27 of the decorative drawing, and combined with the effective stop position 27 of each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c by the symbol variation effect. A symbol combination of decorations to be confirmed and stopped on the stop symbol effective line 28 is derived. In the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment, three symbol display columns 26a, 26b, and 26c are set in a horizontal and horizontal arrangement, and the decorative drawing effective stop position is set for each symbol display column 26a, 26b, and 26c. 27 are defined one by one, and a symbol variation effect consisting of three rows of decorative drawings is performed. That is, one stop symbol effective line 28 is set in the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment. In the following description, the left symbol display column 26a, the middle symbol display column 26b, and the right symbol display column 26c may be referred to in order from the left side.

  In addition, the display area of the symbol display device 17 is composed of a larger area than the first special figure display 50 and the second special figure display 51, and the decoration is much larger than the special figure. It is displayed. For this reason, the player can recognize a big hit or a loss from the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed on the stopped symbol effective line 28 of the symbol display device 17.

  The symbol display device 17 displays a variation so that the decoration moves along a predetermined variation direction (vertical direction from top to bottom in the embodiment) at the start of the symbol variation effect. The decorative drawings that are variably displayed in the predetermined stop order are stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. In the embodiment, at the start of the symbol variation effect, the decorative symbols start to change in the order of the left symbol display column 26a, the middle symbol display column 26b, and the right symbol display column 26c. The left symbol display column 26a and the right symbol display column 26c, based on the variation timing of the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed in the order of the middle symbol display row 26b, the contents of the effect of the symbol variation effect executed by the symbol display device 17, the number of stored special drawing start hold information (described later), etc. Accordingly, it is configured so that the variation timing of the decorative drawing is changed as appropriate.

  In addition, in the symbol display device 17, before the symbol variation effect ends, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed at the effective stop positions 27 of the symbol display columns 26a, 26b, and 26c, and the symbol display columns 26a and 26b are displayed. , 26c is displayed in a fixed stop state, so that one symbol variation effect ends. In other words, the symbol variation effect (first special diagram variation display and second special diagram variation display) is from the start of change to the final stop of decorations (special diagram 1 and special diagram 2) performed based on one start hold information. Is executed once. The “variable display” is a state in which the decorations displayed at the effective stop position 27 are changing in a predetermined order in each of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. And, “decision stop” of the decorative drawing means that the decorative drawing is at a valid stop position in each of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, and 26c over a predetermined special figure fluctuation interval time (600 ms (milliseconds in the embodiment)). It is in a state of being stopped and displayed continuously. In addition, the “temporary stop” of the decorative drawing is a state in which the decorative drawing displayed so as to remain at the effective stop position 27 in each of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is not continuously stopped only for the special drawing change interval time. It is. That is, the temporary stop of the decorative drawing includes a state in which the decorative drawing is displayed in the fluctuation state at the effective stop position 27 and a state in which the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a time shorter than the special drawing fluctuation interval time.

  Here, in the first special figure display 50 and the symbol display device 17, the first special figure fluctuation display and the symbol fluctuation effect relating to the first special figure fluctuation display are started at the same time, and the special figure 1 and the decorative figure are determined simultaneously. Stopped display. Similarly, in the second special figure display 51 and the symbol display device 17, the second special figure fluctuation display and the symbol fluctuation effect relating to the second special figure fluctuation display are started, and the special figure 2 and the decoration figure are confirmed and stopped simultaneously. Is displayed. In the first special figure display 50 and the second special figure display 51, the special figure fluctuation display is not performed at the same time, and the special figure fluctuation display is performed by one of the special figure displays 50 and 51. In this case, the information is stored on hold as first or second special figure start hold information corresponding to the main control RAM 60c. Further, when both the first and second special figure start hold information are stored in the main control RAM 60c, the second special figure change display and the symbol change effect based on the second special figure start hold information are given priority. Executed (priority change).

  Here, in the symbol display device 17 according to the embodiment, 10 types of numbers “0” to “9” are set as basic ornamental drawings in the symbol display columns 26a, 26b, and 26c. Are displayed in a varying manner in order in each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c. In addition, as a decoration drawing, it is not restricted to this, It is set as the form which a player can distinguish and identify each decoration drawing like arbitrary numbers, a character, a design, etc. Further, the decoration diagram may be given a first identification pattern that allows the player to definitely recognize that a probable change state (described later) is given after the big hit game is finished, and a probable change state after the big hit game is finished. Is classified into a second identification symbol that can be recognized indefinitely. In this embodiment, the probable change state that can be given after the end of the big hit game will be described in detail later. Here, as a 1st identification design, even if it sets suitably from the basic decoration drawings, it can also be set as the special decoration drawing determined other than the basic decoration drawings. In the embodiment, odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” are set as the first identification symbols, and “0”, “2”, “4”, “ An example in which the even symbols “6” and “8” are the second identification symbols will be described. In addition, the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment is set with a crisp system perfume display (for example, a symbol such as “☆”) displayed when a sudden probability variation big hit game described later is generated.

  And the decorations of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, 26c, which are confirmed and stopped at the effective stop position 27 (stop symbol effective line 28) of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, 26c in the symbol display device 17, are the big hits. In the case of a symbol combination, it is possible to grasp that a big hit game is given. Here, in the embodiment, as a jackpot symbol combination, a symbol combination (for example, “222”, “777”, etc.) in which the same decorative figure is fixed and displayed at the effective stop position 27 of each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c. ) Is set and a special symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed at the effective stop position 27 of the middle symbol display row 26b (for example, “2 special symbol 2”, “7 special symbol 7”, “4 special symbol 7”). Etc.) is set. The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot becomes a jackpot display result, and a jackpot game advantageous to the player is given after the symbol variation effect is completed. On the other hand, if even one of the symbols in all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed at the effective stop position 27 of the symbol display device 17 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, “734”, “171”, etc.) ), In principle, it can be recognized that the game is “out of play” where no big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing that can recognize the detachment becomes the detachment display result. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination out of symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same as a trigger for executing a predetermined effect (for example, a sudden probability variation big hit game). A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. Specific examples of the specific symbol combination include symbol combinations (for example, “123” and “321”) in which three rows of decorative drawings are arranged in ascending or descending order, left symbol display column 26a, and middle symbol display column 26b. A combination of symbols that have the same decorative drawing and the value of the decorative drawing in the right symbol display column 26c is shifted by one (for example, “778”), and a combination of symbols in which the three rows of decorative drawings become a predetermined word combination (for example, “758”). (Nagoya)). In this way, the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination of a decorative pattern that can be selected not only as a disappointing display result but also as a jackpot display result. In the following explanation, the symbol combination of the three rows of decorative figures constituting the jackpot display result will be referred to as “hit symbol combination”, and the symbol combination of the three rows of decorative symbols constituting the outlier display result will be referred to as “offset symbol combination”. May be called.

  Further, in the symbol variation effect, the same decoration is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol display column (in the embodiment, the left symbol display column 26a and the right symbol display column 26c) among the plurality of symbol display columns 26a, 26b, and 26c. In addition, the remaining symbol display row (in the embodiment, the middle symbol display row 26b) is changed to display (reach display), so that the player recognizes that the reach state (reach) has occurred. To get. A specific example of reach display is a symbol combination (“1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in the left symbol display column 26a and the right symbol display column 26c. In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. In addition, the decorations of the specific symbol display columns (the left symbol display column 26a and the right symbol display column 26c) that form the reach display are in a temporarily stopped display state, and the remaining symbol display columns (middle symbol display column 26b). After the decoration drawing is stopped and displayed (temporary stop display), the decoration drawings of all the symbol display rows are fixedly stopped and displayed. In addition, in the following description, the symbol combination of the three rows of decorative figures forming the reach display may be referred to as a reach symbol.

  In addition, the symbol display device 17 displays a symbol combination of decorations corresponding to the displayed special symbol as a result of the special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display 50 and the second special symbol display 51. . That is, the special figure displayed on the first special figure display 50 and the second special figure display 51 and the symbol combination of the decorative figure displayed on the symbol display device 17 correspond to each other, and the symbol variation effect is provided. When the process is completed, the special figure is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 50 and the second special figure display 51, and the decorative figure is confirmed and stopped on the symbol display columns 26a, 26b, and 26c of the symbol display device 17. It has become so. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration figure is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol. Yes.

Is configured to be performed. The start winning solenoid 32 of the start winning device 30 is driven and controlled in accordance with the result of the lottery per game, so that the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are opened and closed.

(About the general-purpose display 55)
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 20 includes a multi-purpose display 55 in which a light-emitting display unit is composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) at the outer right lower position of the game area 20a. Is arranged. In this general-purpose indicator 55, there are cases where a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter referred to as “normal”) are triggered by the detection of pachinko spheres by the passing sphere detection sensor 48 (passing pachinko spheres by the ball passage gate 47). ) Is changed, and a universal map change display for deriving one common map is performed. In the embodiment, two types of common diagrams are shown in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the general diagram is shown by a light emitting mode in which only the right LED is lit and a light emitting mode in which only the left LED is lit. In the following description, the universal map indicated by only the right LED being lit is referred to as “0”, and for convenience of explanation, the universal map indicated by only the left LED being lit is referred to as “1”. . Then, from the final display result of the general map display 55, it is possible to recognize the normal map hit or miss. More specifically, the universal map “1” is displayed on the universal map display 55 in the case of hitting the universal map, and the universal map “0” is displayed in the case of a deviation. In other words, the universal map that can recognize this universal map is the display result of the universal map, and the universal map that can recognize the disparity is the display result of the disparate map.

(Regarding the general hold)
As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 20 includes information acquired when a pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 47 at the outer right lower position of the game area 20a (various random information described later). ) Is stored as start hold information in the internal storage means (main control RAM 60c), a light emitting display unit is composed of a plurality of LEDs (two in the embodiment) for displaying the number of stored general map hold information. The general map hold display unit 56 is arranged, and the number of fluctuations of the general map held by the display content of the general map hold display unit 56 is notified. The number of the reserved map start display displayed in the map holding display unit 56 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passing gate 47, and is decremented by 1 when the map variation display is started. Note that a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the embodiment) is set for the general-purpose start reserved memory number, and the general-purpose start reserved memory number can be added up to the upper limit number. The general map hold display unit 56 is composed of a plurality of (two in the embodiment) LEDs, and the general map hold display unit 56 starts from the left when the number of the general map start hold storage is 1-2. It lights up in sequence, and when the number of memorized maps on hold is 3 to 4, the map-fed display unit 56 blinks in order from the left, so that it is possible to grasp the number of holds on which the map fluctuation display is performed. Yes.

(About probability change)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving the first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said special prize opening is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball in the special winning opening can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability change function is a lottery lottery after the end of the jackpot game, provided that the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability change symbol (first identification symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the probability (big hit probability) varies from a low probability (164/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1518/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. Further, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit to which a probability change state is given, the probability change state is given continuously until the next big hit is generated after the big hit game ends. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit varies with a high probability and the big hit is likely to occur. Playing games while expecting. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, the probability variation state may be continuously applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied after the probability variation state is provided, and the transition to the non-probability variation state may be made on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, the predetermined condition may be the number of fluctuations of the symbol fluctuation effect (special figure fluctuation display) after the probability variation state is given. In addition, whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning means (falling lottery), and falls into the falling lottery It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving the second privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game ends. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31b is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33 that open the second start winning opening 31b, the pachinko ball winning opportunity to the second starting winning opening 31b can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33 for opening the second start winning port 31b once per map, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening and closing members 33 and 33. It can also be realized by increasing the number of times the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are opened, or they may be combined. In the embodiment, the above-mentioned (1) to (3) are combined as the second privilege gaming state, and in the following description, the combined state of (1) to (3) is referred to as “changed state” for convenience. ".

  In the change function of the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal figure change display performed on the normal figure display after the big hit game ends is shortened, and the probability per universal figure is reduced from a low probability (1125/65536 in the example). This is a function of varying with high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536). In the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal figure change display is set to 5000 ms from the start of the normal figure change in a state where the change state is not given (first game state), and the state where the change state is given. In the (second gaming state), it is set to 1000 ms from the start of the usual figure change. It should be noted that the period from the time when the normal map is confirmed and displayed until the next normal map change (the normal map change interval) is set to 600 ms.

  In the state where the variable state is applied, the open / close members 33 and 33 are opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state where the variable state is not given, a predetermined time after the opening and closing members 33 and 33 of the start winning device 30 are opened when winning in the normal map display (in the case of a normal map) is won. An opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until (300 ms in the embodiment) elapses. On the other hand, in the state in which the variable state is assigned, when the normal figure change display is won (in the case of the normal figure), the opening / closing members 33 and 33 of the start winning device 30 are opened for a predetermined time (implemented). The opening operation for maintaining the opening state until 800 ms in the example is repeated three times at a predetermined time interval (980 ms in the embodiment). That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening and closing members 33, 33 of the start winning device 30 is longer than in the state where the variable state is not given, and the player operates in an advantageous manner. It is set to be. Further, in the state where the variable state is not given, the winning probability of the pachinko ball to the second starting winning port 31b is lower than the winning probability of the pachinko ball to the first starting winning port 31a, whereas the variable state In the state where is given, the winning probability of the pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 31b is higher than the winning probability of the pachinko ball to the first starting winning opening 31a. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second start winning port 31b per one time is set, and the winning after the opening and closing members 33, 33 are opened is set. When the number reaches the upper limit number of winnings, the opening and closing members 33 and 33 are closed even before the opening time and the number of opening times are satisfied. Here, the embodiment is configured such that the period during which the variable state is given (hereinafter referred to as the number of variable times) is changed according to the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won in the big hit. ing. Specifically, if the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is a predetermined probability variation symbol, it is set so that the variable state is given until the next jackpot occurs. If the type of jackpot symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is a predetermined non-probable variable symbol, the symbol variation effect (the first special symbol variation display and the It is set so that a variable state is given until the total number of 2 special figure fluctuation displays) is executed.

(About jackpot games)
Next, the jackpot game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the big hit game is set to start after the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure indicators 50 and 51 as a result of the special figure fluctuation display, and an opening indicating the start of the big hit game is shown. It is composed of an effect OP, a round game that is repeated by a specified number of rounds (5 or 16 rounds in the embodiment) performed after the opening effect is ended, and an ending effect ED that indicates the end of the jackpot game. Yes. In the round game, the opening / closing door 43 of the special prize-winning device 40 opens and closes in an opening operation according to the type of jackpot that has occurred, and a predetermined number (for example, nine) of pachinko balls in the special prize opening in one round game. One round game is completed when a predetermined time (round game time) elapses from the start of each round game. Note that, during each round game in the big hit game, an interval is set in which the open / close door 43 or the open / close members 33 and 33 are held in a closed state for a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as “interval between rounds”). That is, in the jackpot game, the opening / closing door 43 performs an opening / closing operation that is equal to or more than the prescribed round number of each jackpot game.

  Here, the opening / closing mode (opening / closing pattern) of the opening / closing door 43 of the special winning device 40 in each round game of the jackpot game includes one opening operation (opening) under the condition that the pachinko balls are continuously fired at predetermined intervals. For a long period of time during which the specified number of pachinko balls determined for the round game are opened for a time that can be won, and the opening time of the open / close door 43 rather than the long-time opening operation. Is configured by appropriately combining a short-time opening operation set to be short.

(Type of jackpot game)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, when winning the jackpot determination, one of a plurality of types (10 types in the embodiment) of jackpot games having different values (benefits) given to the player is selected. The jackpot game is determined, and the determined jackpot game is awarded. Here, of the 10 types of jackpot games, which jackpot game is awarded is determined based on the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2) determined when winning the jackpot determination. It has become so. In the embodiment, the special figure 1 as 100 kinds of jackpot symbols that can be displayed on the first special figure display 50 is classified into six groups of a symbol A, a symbol B, a symbol C, a symbol D, a symbol E, and a symbol F. In addition, six types of big hit games are given according to the special figure 1 that is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 50. In the embodiment, the special figure 2 as 100 kinds of jackpot symbols that can be displayed on the second special figure indicator 51 is classified into four groups of a symbol a, a symbol b, a symbol c, and a symbol d. 2 types of big hit games are awarded according to the special figure 2 that is confirmed and stopped on the special figure display 51.

  Here, 26 types of special figure 1 are distributed to symbol A. Similarly, one type of special figure 1 is distributed to the symbol B. The special figure 1 as one kind of big hit symbol is distributed to the symbol C. Twenty-six kinds of special drawings 1 are assigned to the pattern D. In the pattern E, 18 types of special drawings 1 are distributed. 28 types of special drawings 1 are assigned to the pattern F. In addition, 42 types of special drawings 2 are assigned to the symbol a. Similarly, 28 kinds of special figures 2 are distributed to the symbol b. Two types of special drawings 2 are assigned to the pattern c. 28 types of special drawings 2 are assigned to the pattern d.

(Special probable big hit game)
Here, the special figure 1 classified as the symbol A and the symbol B is displayed on the first special figure display 50, or the special figure 2 of the kind classified as the symbol a is displayed on the second special figure display 51. In such a case, a special probability variable big hit game (special hit game) is awarded as a big hit game. The special probability variable jackpot game is a round jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “16”, and the upper limit number of winnings for each round game is set to “9”. And in the special probability variable big hit game, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit judgment, the probable change state and the variable state continue after the big hit game ends until the next big hit game is started after the big hit game is finished. To be granted. In each round game of the special probability variable big hit game, the opening / closing door 43 is set to perform a long-time opening operation for continuously opening the special winning opening from the start to the end of the round game. That is, all the round games of the probability variation big hit game are constituted by a full-open round game in which the opening / closing door 43 performs a long-time opening operation that opens from the start to the end of the round game. Therefore, in the special probability variable big hit game, the open / close door 43 is opened only once in each round game, and the open / close door 43 repeats the open / close operation of 16 times in the whole big hit game.

  In the special probability variation big hit game, “25.0 (seconds)” is set as the round game time of one round game, and in each round game, the opening / closing door extends over “25.0 (seconds)” at the maximum.

Are acquired at the same timing by the main control CPU 60a. Each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b. Are used in common, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 31a and 31b. It should be noted that the random number for determining the hit per map is temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 47 (more specifically, when the passing ball detection sensor 48 detects the pachinko ball). The main control CPU 60a obtains random numbers stored in the memory.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not the jackpot is determined by using the jackpot determination random number (a jackpot determination), and there are a total of 65536 possible values from “0” to “65535” that the jackpot determination random number can take. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from integers. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is applied at the time when the jackpot determination is performed. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (1518 in the embodiment) is larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the non-probability variation state (164 in the embodiment). Many are set. That is, the big hit is likely to occur by increasing the set number of big hit judgment values in the probability variation state.

  In addition, an effect execution determination value (reach determination value) is stored in the main control ROM. The effect execution determination value is an effect execution determination as to whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect that suggests that the jackpot display result may be displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the jackpot determination is negative (reach) This is a determination value used in the lottery) and is determined from all 239 integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for determining the performance execution. Then, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired when the pachinko ball winning in the first start winning port 31a or the second start winning port 31b matches the effect execution determination value. Thus, it is determined whether or not the reach production is executed. Here, the performance execution determination value is the performance execution performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a (more specifically, when the first start winning detection sensor 34a detects the pachinko ball). In the case of determination, and in the case of performance execution determination that is triggered by the fact that the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31b (more specifically, that the second start winning detection sensor 34b has detected the pachinko ball) Therefore, the number of judgment value settings is different. Further, the production execution determination value differs in the number of determination values set depending on whether or not the above-described certainty change state is given at the time of performing the production execution decision and whether or not the shortage state is given.

  That is, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 31a, it is set when the non-probability change state is set rather than the number of effect execution determination values set in the probability change state. The number of production execution determination values to be performed is set to be larger. Moreover, in the case of the production execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 31a, the number of production execution determination values is less than the number of production execution determination values set when there is a variable state. It is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set sometimes increases. Specifically, in the case of the performance execution determination that is performed when the pachinko ball is won at the first start winning opening 31a, 35 performance execution determination values are set in the case of the uncertain change state and the absence of the variable state. In addition, four performance execution determination values are set when the probability variation state and the variable state are present, and six performance execution determination values are set when the non-probability variation state and the variable state are present.

  Then, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31b, the number of the performance execution determination values is less than the number of performance execution determination values set when there is the speed change state. It is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set sometimes is smaller. Specifically, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b, four performance execution determination values are set when there is a certain change state and a variable state. In the case of the uncertain change state and the change state, six performance execution determination values are set. In addition, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b, the performance execution determination value is set to 0 in the case of the uncertain change state and the absence of the variable state.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described shortage state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of standard values per map (65535 in the embodiment) set when there is a variable state is the number of standard values per map (65535 in the example) that is set when there is no variable state. More than 1125). In other words, by increasing the number of determination values for the normal map when there is a variable state, the normal map is likely to occur.

  Furthermore, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns as variation contents. The variation pattern is the content of the effect executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the fixed stop display (display content of the design variation effect, light emission effect mode, audio) The pattern that is the basic base of the production mode) is specified. Further, the fluctuation pattern specifies the fluctuation time from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop according to the contents of the effect. ing.

  The variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b are classified into variation patterns for jackpot effects and variation patterns for outlier effects, and specific variation pattern determination values are determined for each variation pattern. . Note that the variation pattern for the big hit effect is a variation pattern that can be selected when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. Further, the variation pattern for the offending effect is a variation pattern that is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is negative. The variation pattern for the offending effect includes a variation pattern for the offending reach effect that is finally set to be a deviation after the reach effect is performed, and a fluctuation pattern for the offending effect that is set as a deviation without forming the reach. is there.

  In addition, the symbol variation effect performed based on the variation pattern for the jackpot effect is developed so that the reach effect is executed in the middle of the symbol variation effect, and finally the symbol combination of the decorative figure that becomes the big hit is finally displayed in a fixed stop state. A reachable jackpot effect with reach and a reachable jackpot effect that is unfolded so that the symbol combination of the decorative figure that will eventually become a big hit is displayed in a fixed stop without executing the reach effect in the middle of the symbol variation effect. ing. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the reach effect is executed in the middle of the symbol variation effect, and the symbol combination of the decorative drawing that will eventually be dismissed is confirmed and stopped. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol combination of the decorative figure that will eventually be out of place without performing the reach effect in the middle of the symbol variation effect is displayed in a fixed stop manner. The reach effect is performed in the symbol variation effect by the symbol display on the symbol display device 17 after the reach symbol combination is formed, until the symbol combination of the ornamental symbol that is a big hit or missed is stopped and displayed. Production.

The overall control CPU 65a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the overall control RAM 65c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The overall control ROM 65b stores an overall control program for overall control of the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board 73. When the overall control CPU 65a receives various control commands, the overall control CPU 65a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

  Next, the display control board 70 will be described with reference to FIG. The display control board 70 is provided with a display control CPU 70a. A display control ROM 70b and a display control RAM 70c are connected to the display control CPU 70a. In addition, the symbol display device 17 is connected to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a).

The display control ROM 70b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various information that can be rewritten as appropriate during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  That is, a hit determining means for determining whether or not a big hit (winning) is triggered by the winning of the pachinko balls at the first and second start winning ports 31a and 31b, and a winning game to be given from a plurality of types of winning games. The main control CPU 60a has a function as a hit game determining means for determining the type and a hit game giving means for giving the determined type of hit game after the end of the special symbol variation display (after the end of the symbol variation effect). The main control CPU 60a functions as a random number acquisition means for acquiring a random number when a pachinko ball wins the first and second start winning holes 31a and 31b. The main control CPU 60a functions as a variation pattern determining unit that determines a variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns. The main control CPU 60a functions as probability change determination means for determining whether or not to give a probability change state in which the probability that a big hit will occur (probability that the determination result by the hit determination means becomes affirmative) is higher than normal. And, it is configured to function as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change state after the end of the big hit game. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative).

(Main control)
Next, various processes executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(Special drawing processing)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning port 31a of the start winning device 30 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 34a corresponding to the first start winning opening 31a detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step SA11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the stored number of first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of first special figure start hold information stored is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of stored first special figure start hold information <4), the number of first special figure start hold information stored is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of stored figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the reach determination random number, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for performance execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 60c. Is read and the value of the random number is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the stored number of the first special figure start hold information (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31b of the start winning device 30. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 34b corresponding to the second start winning opening 31b detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. When the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the stored number of second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of stored second special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  If the determination result of step A16 is affirmative (the number of stored second special figure start hold information <4), the number of second special figure start hold information stored is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of stored figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for reach determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for effect execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution from the main control RAM 60c. Is read and the value of the random number is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the stored number of the second special figure start hold information (step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is completed.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed on the special figure indicators 50 and 51 and the symbol display device 17, or whether or not the big hit game is being played. Determine (step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step B11 is negative, the number of stored second special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether the number of second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). When the determination result of step B13 is negative (when the number of stored second special figure start hold information = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. If the determination result of step B13 is affirmative (the number of second special figure start hold information> 0), the second special figure variation processing flag stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c A value “1” indicating that the special figure variation display is executed is set. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number stored in the second special figure start hold information (step B14), and a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number stored in the second special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a acquires the value of the random number for jackpot determination, the value of the random number for reach determination, the value of the random number for special figure distribution, the value of the random number for performance execution determination, and the value of the random number for variation pattern distribution stored in (Step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number from the second special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, and then stores information on the second special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored second earlier is stored. (Random number) is stored in the second special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores in the second special figure storage area the information (random number) of the third special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The information (random number) of the fourth special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored first (that is, the newest) is stored is stored in the third special figure storage area. That is, the second special figure start hold information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure display 51 so as to correspond to the stored number of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the acquired value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (win lottery) is performed to determine whether or not (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative at the time of non-probability change (when the probability is low) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 164/65536. The probability that the determination result is affirmative (hit probability) is set to 1518/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit changes (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 2) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display 51 based on the acquired special figure distribution random number value (Step 2). B24). Here, since the value of the special figure distribution random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2 separately, the main control CPU 60a is associated with the acquired special figure distribution random number value. By determining the special figure 2, the jackpot symbol is determined. When the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from among the variation patterns for the jackpot effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B25).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (when a reach effect is to be performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display 51 to display the outlier symbol as a final stop symbol (special feature). 2) (step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the loss reach effect based on the variation pattern distribution random number (step B29). In the case of the non-probable change state and the absence of change state (normal mode), since the execution execution determination value based on the second special figure start hold information is set to “0”, the determination in step SB27 is performed in the normal mode. The result is never positive.

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 51. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special drawing 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the off-state effect based on the random number for variation pattern distribution (step B31).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special drawing 2) in steps B28, B29, B30, and B31 outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a specifies a variation pattern, outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the second special figure display 51 so that the second special figure fluctuation display is started. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 2 designation command for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the production time determined in the designated variation pattern. The display content of 51 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of stored second special figure start hold information = 0), the stored number of first special figure start hold information is read (step B16), and the first special figure start hold information is stored. It is determined whether or not the stored number of figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result of step B17 is affirmative (the number of stored first special figure start hold information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “1” indicating that the first special figure variation display is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control RAM 60c subtracts 1 from the number stored in the first special figure start hold information (step B18) and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the jackpot determination random number value, the reach determination random number value, the special figure distribution random number value, the effect execution determination random number value, and the variation pattern distribution random number value ( Step B19) Next, a hit determination process is executed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the second start winning opening 31b is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired in response to the winning of 31a is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires a random number from the first special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the first special figure start hold information, and then stores information on the second special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored second earlier is stored. (Random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the information (random number) of the third special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored in the second special figure storage area. The information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored first (that is, the newest) is stored is stored in the third special figure storage area. Thus, that is, the first special figure start hold information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 52 so as to correspond to the number of stored first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B19, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the acquired value of the jackpot determination random number matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (win lottery) is performed to determine whether or not (step B32). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative at the time of non-probability change (when the probability is low) (that is, the jackpot probability) is set to 164/65536. The probability that the determination result is affirmative (hit probability) is set to 1518/65536. If the determination result of the big hit determination at step B32 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1), which is a big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display 50, based on the acquired special figure distribution random value (Step 1). B34). Here, since the value of the special figure distribution random number is associated with the jackpot symbol for each special figure 1, the main control CPU 60a assigns the special figure distribution random number value associated with the acquired special figure distribution random number value. By determining FIG. 1, the jackpot symbol is determined. When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the big hit effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B35).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B37). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B37 is affirmative (when a reach effect is to be performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the first special symbol display 50 to display the outlier symbol as a final stop symbol (special feature). FIG. 1) is determined (step B38). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the loss reach effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B39).

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B37 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 50. Is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) (step B40). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one variation pattern from the variation patterns for the off-state effect based on the random number value for variation pattern distribution (step B41).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop pattern (Special Figure 1) in Steps B38, B39, B40, and B41, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a first outputs a variation pattern designation command designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display 50 so as to start the first special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 1 designation command for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the production time determined in the designated variation pattern. 50 display contents are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs decoration stoppage of the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for causing the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B17 is negative (if the first special figure start hold information storage number = 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect? If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol change effect based on the change pattern specification command input from the main control CPU 60a, and specifies the determined effect pattern. Are output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. That is, the overall control CPU 65a has a function as effect execution control means for executing a symbol variation effect based on the variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. Here, the production patterns that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a are classified for each production mode, and correspond to the variation patterns from the production patterns that can be selected based on the set value of the production mode flag input to the overall control board 65. An effect pattern to be selected is selected. That is, the overall control CPU 65a has a function as an effect pattern determining unit that determines an effect pattern based on the variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a.

  Further, when the special control 1 designation command or the special design 2 designation command is input, the overall control CPU 65a displays each symbol display to be finally stopped on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the special design stop design designation corresponding to the command. The decoration of the rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is determined. That is, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the overall control CPU 65a displays each symbol display row 26a, 26b so as to be a symbol combination of a decorative symbol that is a jackpot display. 26c is determined. Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the effect pattern, the decorative drawing designation command of each row is given to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, etc. Output. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a starts measuring time by a sub-timer means (not shown) at the same time when the change pattern designation command is input, and at a predetermined timing set in the determined effect pattern, A temporary stop symbol designation command for temporarily stopping the decoration of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is output. Then, when the all symbols stop command is output from the main control CPU 60a, the decoration drawing is fixedly stopped.

  Here, when the jackpot symbol is symbol A, symbol a or symbol b, the overall control CPU 65a is a first identification symbol that can definitely notify the player that the jackpot game will be in a probable change state after the jackpot game ends ( Specifically, a jackpot symbol combination consisting of odd symbols) is determined. Then, when the big hit symbol is symbol B or symbol c, the same second identification symbol (specifically, even number symbol) that does not inform the player that the probability change state will be established after the big hit game ends It determines so that it may become a symbol combination in a symbol. When the jackpot symbol is symbol C, symbol D or symbol E, a combination of symbols including a decorative diagram (specifically, the symbol “☆” per abrupt system) that suggests the possibility of a sudden odd-change bonus game. Decide to be. In addition, when the jackpot symbol is symbol F or symbol d, the symbol combination in the same symbol of the second identification symbol (specifically, even symbol) that does not definitely notify the player that the probability change state is established. To be determined.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is an outlier symbol, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. In addition, when the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the outbreak including the reach formation symbol. On the other hand, when the variation pattern for the offending effect is instructed, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize the outbreak that does not include the reach formation symbol. Further, when the overall control CPU 65a inputs an all symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the command to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

  The overall control CPU 65a also determines the type of jackpot symbol designated by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a, and each designation command relating to the operation / non-operation (end) of the variable state. And the type of effect mode is determined based on the set value of the effect mode flag, and the effect mode flag is updated to a value indicating the determined effect mode. The effect mode flag includes information that can identify the effect mode in which the user is currently staying, and is set in the overall control RAM 65c. When the overall control CPU 65a updates the production mode flag, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a mode designation command for instructing the production mode to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

(Display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to execute the symbol variation effect. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and predetermines an image to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. When the temporary stop symbol designation command of each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c is input, the display control CPU 70a uses the temporary stop symbol designation command to the effective stop position 27 of the corresponding symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c. When the designated decorative figure is temporarily stopped and all the design stop commands are input, the decorative display designated by the decorative figure designation command is displayed at the effective stop position 27 of each of the symbol display rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The display content of the symbol display device 17 is controlled so as to be displayed in a fixed stop state, and the symbol variation effect is ended. Further, when a mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a displays a background image corresponding to the designated effect mode.

(About the characteristic specifications of the pachinko machine 10)
Next, characteristic specifications of the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. The characteristic specifications described below are executed when a pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31a in the normal mode. However, the specifications described below are executed when a pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode, or the first start winning opening 31a or the second start winning in the probability changing mode or the short time mode. It may be executed when a pachinko ball wins in the mouth 31b. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, a symbol variation effect that develops into a super reach effect through a normal reach effect can be executed. Moreover, it is set so that a symbol variation effect that develops into a common development effect through a normal reach effect and a super reach effect can be executed. As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of types of variation patterns for specifying the super reach effect and the common development effect are set. Note that the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is set to be able to execute a variation pattern other than the variation pattern shown in FIG. 9. For example, a variation pattern for losing out of which a symbol combination is derived without a reach effect, or a normal reach variation pattern in which a final symbol is derived by executing only a normal reach effect is set.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the variation patterns for specifying the super reach production include low reliability super reach variation patterns (low reliability reach variation patterns) P1 to P4 and high reliability super reach variation patterns (high reliability). Reach variation patterns) P5 to P8 are set. The variation patterns for specifying the common development effects include low reach development variation patterns (first reach development variation patterns) P9 to P12 and high reach development variation patterns (second reach development variation patterns) P13 to P16. Is set. Further, the low-reliability super-reach variation patterns are classified into first low-reliability super-reach variation patterns P1, P2 and second low-reliability super-reach variation patterns P3, P4. The first high-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P5 and P6 and the second high-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P7 and P8. The low reach development variation patterns are classified into first low reach development variation patterns P9 and P10 and second low reach development variation patterns P11 and P12, and the high reach development variation pattern is a first high reach development variation pattern. P13 and P14 and second high reach development variation patterns P15 and P16. The first and second low-reliability super reach fluctuation patterns, the first and second high-reliability super reach fluctuation patterns, the first and second low reach development fluctuation patterns, and the first and second high reach development fluctuation patterns are: These are divided into fluctuation patterns P1, P3, P5, P7, P9, P11, P13, and P15 for deviation and fluctuation patterns P2, P4, P6, P8, P10, P12, P14, and P16 for big hits.

  In the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach variation pattern, the variation display of the decorative drawing is started while the normal background (normal variation image) is displayed as the background image. The normal background is a basic background image that is displayed with a normal symbol variation effect without a special effect, and is displayed with an irrelevant effect without a reach effect. It means what is displayed until the next symbol variation effect is started. In addition, the normal background is displayed between the start of the change and the reach display in the symbol change effect accompanying the reach effect. In the normal reach variation pattern, the decorative drawing temporarily stops in the left symbol display column 26a (hereinafter simply referred to as the left column) 8000 ms after the start of variation, and the right symbol display column 26c (hereinafter simply referred to as the right column) 10000 ms after the variation start. The decoration drawing is temporarily stopped and the reach display is displayed, and the normal reach effect is executed. In the normal reach production, the background image is executed without changing the normal background. That is, the normal reach effect means a reach effect that is executed with the normal background without changing the background image from the time when the reach display is displayed. In the embodiment, the background image is not changed from the normal background before and after the reach display is displayed. However, the background image may be changed until the reach display is displayed. Then, the final symbol is determined and stopped after 19000 ms from the start of fluctuation. For the big hit normal reach fluctuation pattern (normal reach fluctuation pattern determined when the big hit judgment result is affirmative), the big hit symbol combination is confirmed and stopped as the final design, and the normal reach fluctuation pattern for the loss (if the big hit judgment result is negative) In the determined normal reach variation pattern), the symbol combination that is not the final symbol is determined and stopped.

  In the symbol variation effects specified by the variation patterns P1 to P16 shown in FIG. 9, the reach display (reach symbol) is displayed at a predetermined timing from the start of the variation, and the normal reach effect is executed in the same manner as the normal reach variation pattern. It is like that. That is, the symbol variation effect specified by the variation patterns P1 to P16 has the same effect content from the start of variation until the normal reach effect ends (until it develops to a super reach effect). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, with the normal background displayed as a background image, the variable display of the decoration drawing is started. Then, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left row 26a 8000 ms after the start of change, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the right row 26c 10000 ms after the start of change, and a reach display is displayed, and the normal reach effect is executed.

(About common development effects)
The common development effect is an effect executed through a normal reach effect and a super reach effect. In the embodiment, one type of common development effect is set. That is, even if any super reach effect is executed, the same common development effect is developed. The common development effect is a special effect that is executed using multiple types of single symbols that allow the player to recognize “out of the game” or “big hit” with only one symbol, and variably displays three rows of decorative symbols. This is different from the normal symbol variation effect. In addition, the common development effect is to inform the player whether or not it is a big hit by the content of the single symbol that is finally stopped (temporarily stopped) (in the case of a big hit, as will be described later, You may be notified of the type of jackpot game). That is, the common development effect is executed at the end of the symbol variation effect to derive the final symbol, and does not further develop into another effect through the common development effect. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the common development effect of the embodiment is composed of an introduction effect part and a change effect part. For example, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the introductory effect part notifies the player of a single symbol to be variably displayed by the fluctuating effect unit, such as an image in which a single symbol pops out from the hole one after another. Is displayed. The introduction effect section of the embodiment displays five single symbols in 4000 ms. In the introductory effect section, variable display (reach display) with small decorative drawings is executed in the small display area 17b set at the upper left corner of the image display surface 17a in the symbol display device 17. .

  As shown in FIG. 16, the single symbol is classified into three types: a single off symbol, a single per species notification symbol, and a single per symbol. The single off symbol has a function of allowing a player to recognize a deviation, and is composed of, for example, a symbol such as “x” (hereinafter, the single off symbol is indicated by “x”). The single off symbol “x” is temporarily stopped by the change effect unit when the big hit determination result is negative. In addition, the single hit type notification symbol has a function that allows the player to definitely recognize the type of big hit and big hit game, and the single hit type notification symbol has a single probability variable hit symbol and a single random hit type. It is classified as a winning symbol. The single probability variation symbol has a function of allowing the player to definitely recognize that the probability variation state is to be given after the big hit game is finished, and is configured by a symbol such as “V” (hereinafter, single probability variation). The winning symbol is indicated by “V”). The single probability variation symbol “V” can be temporarily stopped by the variation effect section when the symbol winning symbol “A” (special probability variation large hit game) is determined. The single per-acceptance system per symbol has a function that allows the player to definitely recognize that a sudden probabilistic big hit game or a jump-up probable big hit game occurs as a big hit game, Symbols such as “☆”) (hereinafter, a single random system symbol is indicated by “☆”). The symbol “☆” per single-accuracy system is temporarily stopped by the variation effect section when the big winning symbol is determined as symbol C, symbol D or symbol E (sudden probability variable big hit game or jump-up probability big hit game).

  The single winning symbol is composed of the same numbers as the decorative symbols (so-called tempered symbols) constituting the reach symbol in the super reach production, and the big hit corresponding to the jackpot symbol combination by the decorative symbols constituting the reach symbol. It has a function of allowing the player to recognize that a game will occur. Therefore, when the reach symbol is composed of the first identification symbols such as “1”, “3”..., The single symbol is an odd number such as “1”, “3”. As in the case of the single probability variation winning symbol “V”, the player has a function of definitely recognizing that the probability variation state is given after the big winning game is completed. On the other hand, when the reach symbol is composed of the second identification symbols such as “2”, “4”..., The single hit symbol is an even number such as “2”, “4”. It is composed of symbols and does not have a function to make the player definitely recognize that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished. In other words, the single winning symbol in this case has a function of allowing the player to recognize that there is a possibility that the probability variation state may not be given after the big hit game ends. The single symbol derived by the introduction effect unit is at least the single off symbol “x” and the single hit type notification symbol (single probability variation per symbol “V” or single random per symbol “☆”) Is set to include.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the variation effect unit executes an effect of displaying and changing all the single symbols derived by the introduction effect unit at once (simultaneously). In this variation rendering unit, for example, a common development image composed of an animation image by a character or the like is displayed as a background image. Further, in the common developed image, one effective stop position (hereinafter referred to as a single effective stop position 27a) is set, and a variable display in which the single symbol is sequentially moved to the single effective stop position 27a one by one. It is supposed to be executed. In the embodiment, five single symbols arranged in a ring shape rotate in the clockwise direction, and the single symbols are moved one by one to the single effective stop position 27a. The single symbol that has arrived at the single effective stop position 27a is enlarged and displayed. The change display of the single symbol is started from a state where the single symbol is not located at the single effective stop position 27a. Further, the number of times that a single symbol arrives at the single effective stop position 27a is set from 1 to a maximum of 5 times. That is, in the variation rendering unit, not all single symbols are necessarily located at the single effective stop position 27a. For example, the single symbol that first arrives at the single effective stop position 27a temporarily stops, In the case where the fluctuating effect section ends without the four single symbols arriving at the single effective stop position 27a, or when all the single symbols arrive at the single effective stop position 27a and finally (that is, the fifth) The single symbol that arrives temporarily stops at the single effective stop position 27a, and the variation rendering unit may end. Then, the success or failure of the jackpot (and the type of the jackpot game) is notified by a single symbol that is finally temporarily stopped by the variation effect section. In addition, the variation time of the variation effect unit is set to 6000 ms, and the variation effect unit ends after 10,000 ms from the start of the common development effect.

  As shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 21, the background image is switched from the common development image to the normal background 10000 ms after the common development effect starts (after 53,000 ms from the start of variation), and the final design by the decorative drawing Is displayed, and the final symbol is fixed and stopped after 54,000 ms from the start of the fluctuation. The final symbol displayed at this time is a symbol combination corresponding to the type of the single symbol temporarily stopped in the variation effect section. That is, when a single off symbol “×” is temporarily stopped in the variation production unit, a combination of out symbols is displayed as the final symbol, and when the single probability variation per symbol “V” is temporarily stopped in the variation production unit. The jackpot symbol combination (odd symbol) composed of the first identification symbols is displayed as the final symbol. In addition, when the symbol “☆” per single-accuracy system is temporarily stopped in the variation production section, the symbol combination including the symbol “☆” per accuracy system is displayed as the final symbol, and the single-combination symbol is displayed in the variation production section. In the case of a temporary stop, the jackpot symbol combination by the decoration diagram constituting the reach symbol is displayed as the final symbol.

(Reliability of fluctuation pattern)
Here, the probability that the jackpot game is awarded when the symbol variation effect (specifically, the first low reliability super reach effect) specified by the first low reliability super reach variation patterns P1 and P2 is executed. As shown in FIG. 9, the reliability of the symbol variation effect specified by the first low reliability super reach variation patterns P1 and P2 is set to 8% (hereinafter referred to as reliability).

The probability that a game is awarded when the means determines the low-reliability reach variation pattern is set to 10%. In the embodiment, those having a reliability smaller than 20% (reference value) are defined as the low reliability super reach variation patterns P1 to P4.

  On the other hand, the reliability of the symbol variation effect (specifically, the first high reliability super reach effect) specified by the first high reliability super reach variation patterns P5 and P6 is set to 20%. The reliability of the symbol variation effect specified by the reliability super reach variation patterns P7 and P8 (specifically, the second high reliability super reach effect) is set to 40%. Then, the reliability (variation pattern determination) of the overall symbol fluctuation effect (specifically, the first or second high reliability super reach effect) specified by the first and second high reliability super reach fluctuation patterns P6 to P8. The probability that a game is awarded when the means determines the high-reliability reach variation pattern is set to 30%. In the embodiment, those having a reliability of 20% (reference value) or more are defined as the high reliability super reach variation patterns P5 to P8. Note that the reliability of the normal reach production specified by the above-described normal reach variation pattern is set to 2%, and the reliability is set lower than any of the super reach variation patterns P1 to P8.

  Furthermore, the reliability of the symbol variation effect specified by the first low reach development variation patterns P9 and P10 (specifically, the common development effect through the first low reliability super reach effect) is set to 50%. Yes. In addition, the reliability of the symbol variation effect specified by the second low reach development variation patterns P11 and P12 (specifically, the second low-reliability super-reach effect and the common development effect) is set to 50%. . The reliability of the overall symbol variation effect specified by the first and second low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 (specifically, the common development effect through the first or second low reliability super reach effect) ( The probability that a game is awarded when the variation pattern determining means determines the first reach development variation pattern is set to 50%.

  Furthermore, the reliability of the symbol variation production specified by the first high reach development variation patterns P13 and P14 (specifically, the common development production through the first high reliability super reach production) is set to 50%. ing. In addition, the reliability of the symbol variation production specified by the second high reach development variation patterns P15 and P16 (specifically, the common development production through the second high reliability super reach production) is set to 50%. Yes. The reliability of the overall symbol variation effect (specifically, the common development effect through the first or second high-reliability super-reach effect) specified by the first and second high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 ( The probability that a game is awarded when the variation pattern determining means determines the second reach development variation pattern) is set to 50%. That is, in the embodiment, the reliability of the low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 and the reliability of the high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 are set to be the same, and the first and second low reliability super reach productions are performed. Even if it develops into a common development effect through the first and second high-reliability super reach productions, the reliability to the big hit is equal.

In the embodiment, the reliability of the entire low reach development variation pattern P9 to P12 and the reliability of the entire high reach development variation pattern P13 to P16 are set to be the same. However, both the variation patterns P9 to P12 and P13 to P16 The reliability should just be equivalent. The reliability is “equivalent” when both the low reach development fluctuation patterns P9 to P12 are set to 45% and the high reach development fluctuation patterns P13 to P16 are set to 55%. The difference in reliability of the entire patterns P9 to P12 and P13 to P16 is preferably in the range of ± 10%, more preferably in the range of ± 5%. Accordingly, if the difference in reliability between the two fluctuation patterns P9 to P12 and P13 to P16 is within the above range, the reliability of the entire low reach development fluctuation pattern P9 to P12 is set to the reliability of the entire high reach development fluctuation pattern P13 to P16. You may set so that it may become higher. In the embodiment, the reliability of the first and second low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 and the reliability of the first and second high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 are both set to the same 50%. However, if it is within the range of the reliability difference described above, the reliability of the first low reach development variation patterns P9, P10 and the second low reach development variation patterns P11, P12 may be set to be different, The first high reach development variation patterns P13 and P14 and the second high reach development variation patterns P15 and P16 may be set to have different reliability.

(Development rate for common development production)
Here, if the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines any of the variation patterns P1 to P16 regardless of whether or not the big hit determination result is true is defined as the appearance rate of the variation patterns P1 to P16, as shown in FIG. The appearance rate of the entire low reliability super reach variation patterns P1 to P4, which is the sum of the appearance rates of the first and second low reliability super reach variation patterns P1 to P4, is set to 8%. On the other hand, the overall appearance rate of the high-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P5 to P8, which is the sum of the appearance rates of the first and second high-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P5 to P8, is set to 4%. The super-reach fluctuation patterns P5 to P8 have a lower appearance rate than the low-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 (the main control CPU 60a has a probability of determining the high-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P5 to P8). Lower). Also, the appearance rate of the entire low reach development variation pattern P9 to P12, which is the sum of the appearance rates of the first and second low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12, is set to 3%, and the first and second high reach development variation patterns The appearance rate of the entire high reach development variation pattern P13 to P16, which is the sum of the appearance rates of P13 to P16, is set to 2%. That is, the appearance rate of the high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 is set lower than that of the low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 (the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 is low). )

  The probability of developing to the common development effect through the first or second low reliability super reach production (hereinafter referred to as the development rate from the low reliability super reach production) is the low reliability super reach variation patterns P1 to P4 and Appearance rates of the low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 occupying 11% of the low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 (probability that the variation pattern determining means determines the low-reliability reach variation pattern or the first reach development variation pattern) It is defined by a ratio of 3% (probability that the variation pattern determining means determines the low reach development variation pattern). Therefore, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the development rate from the low reliability super reach production is 3/11 (about 27%). On the other hand, the probability of developing to a common development production through the high reliability super reach production (hereinafter referred to as the development rate from the high reliability super reach production) is the high reliability super reach fluctuation pattern P5 to P8 and the high reach development fluctuation pattern. Appearance rate 2% (variation pattern) of high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 occupying 6% appearance rate of P13 to P16 (probability that the variation pattern determination means determines the high-reliability reach variation pattern or the second reach development variation pattern) It is defined by the ratio of the probability that the determining means determines the high reach development variation pattern. Therefore, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the development rate from the high-reliability super reach production is 2/6 (about 33%). That is, the probability of developing to the common development effect through the first or second high-reliability super reach production is set higher than the probability of developing to the common development production through the first or second low-reliability super reach production. Yes.

(Regarding the control structure for common development effects)
Next, the control structure regarding the common development effect in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. The common development effect is executed when the main control CPU 60a determines any one of the first or second low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 and the first or second high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 as a variation pattern. It is what is done. In the following description, these variation patterns P9 to P16 may be collectively referred to as common development effect variation patterns P9 to P16. The main control CPU 60a outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the common development effect variation patterns P9 to P16 to the overall control CPU 65a.

  When the variation control designation command for designating the common development effect variation patterns P9 to P16 is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the single symbol that is finally temporarily stopped by the variation development portion of the common development effect. A symbol determination process is executed. As shown in FIG. 20, first, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the big hit determination result is affirmative (step C11). If step C11 is negative, the single control symbol as a single symbol to be temporarily stopped is determined. "X" is determined (step C12), and the temporary stop single symbol determination process is terminated. If step C11 is affirmative, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol of special figure 1 is symbol A (step C13), and if step C13 is affirmative (special probability variable jackpot game by symbol A), it is temporarily stopped. A single probability variation per symbol “V” or a single per symbol (an odd symbol identical to the reach symbol) is determined as a single symbol (step C14), and the temporary stop single symbol determination process is terminated. At this time, the overall control CPU 65a randomly determines either the single probability variation symbol “V” or the single symbol per symbol (determination probability 50%). If step C13 is negative, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is symbol C, symbol D or symbol E (step C15). If step C15 is affirmative (sudden probability change big hit game or jump up probability variable big hit game) ) As a single symbol to be temporarily stopped, the symbol “☆” per single-accuracy system is determined (step C16), and the temporary stop single symbol determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if step C15 is negative (special probability variable big hit game with symbol B or normal non-probable variable big hit game with symbol F), a single symbol (even number symbol identical to the reach symbol) is determined as a single symbol to be temporarily stopped. (Step C17), the temporary stop single symbol determination process is terminated.

  When the temporary stop single symbol determination process ends, the overall control CPU 65a outputs to the display control CPU 70a an effect pattern specifying command for specifying an effect pattern corresponding to the common development effect change patterns P9 to P16 determined by the main control CPU 60a. The symbol variation effect with the common development effect is executed. The overall control CPU 65a is set to output a single symbol temporary stop command for temporarily stopping a single symbol at a predetermined timing to the display control CPU 70a in the common development effect. When the display pattern designating command is input, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to execute a design variation effect based on the designated performance pattern. In the common development effect, the display control CPU 70a displays the introduction effect image on the symbol display device 17 to execute the introduction effect unit, and includes five single symbols including the single symbol determined in the step C12, C14, C16 or C17. A design is derived. Next, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image from the introduction effect image to the common effect image, executes the variation effect unit, and variably displays the five single symbols derived by the introduction effect unit. Then, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a single symbol temporary stop command at the timing when the single symbol determined in step C12, C14, C16 or C17 arrives at the single effective stop position 27a, and the display control CPU 70a A symbol is temporarily stopped at a single effective stop position 27a. After that, the display control CPU 70a is set to switch the background image from the common effect image to the normal background to end the common development effect and derive the final symbol corresponding to the single symbol temporarily stopped at the single effective stop position 27a. The

(About the execution mode of common development effects)
Next, in the pachinko machine 10 which concerns on an Example, the execution aspect of a common development effect is demonstrated. For example, it is assumed that the main control CPU 60a determines the second low reach development fluctuation pattern P11 for deviation as the fluctuation pattern when the big hit determination result is negative when the winning to the first start winning opening 31a is triggered. It is assumed that the reach symbol in the normal reach production and the second low-reliability super reach production is “2 ↓ 2”. The overall control CPU 65a executes a temporary stop single symbol determination process to determine a single off symbol “x” as a single symbol to be temporarily stopped in the common development effect. Next, the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command for designating the second low reach development effect pattern to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a displays a normal background as a background image on the symbol display device 17 to display the decoration. Is displayed in a variable manner. As shown in FIG. 10, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the decorative drawing “2” in the left column 26a 8000 ms after the start of the change, and the display control CPU 70a displays the designated decorative drawing on the left. Temporarily stop in the row 26a. Further, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the decorative drawing “2” in the right row 26c 10000 ms after the start of the change, and the display control CPU 70a temporarily stops the designated decorative drawing in the right row 26c. The reach symbol “2 ↓ 2” is displayed. Then, the display control CPU 70a starts the normal reach effect while maintaining the background image as the normal background.

  Next, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image to the reach effect image B 7000 ms after the start of the normal reach effect (17000 ms after the start of fluctuation), and executes the second low-reliability super reach effect. The overall control CPU 65a then outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating a decoration (for example, “5”) different from the decoration (reach) in the left and right columns 26a and 26c in the middle column 26b after 34,000 ms from the start of the change. Then, the display control CPU 70a temporarily stops the designated decoration drawing in the middle row 26b, and once derives the symbol combination “252” (see FIG. 21). Next, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image from the reach effect image B to the introduction effect image after 43000 ms from the start of the change, and starts the introduction effect part of the common development effect. As shown in FIG. 14, in the introductory effect unit, the five single symbols to be displayed in a variable manner in the variable effect unit are a predetermined combination (for example, three single off symbols “×”, “×”, “×”, single The probability per winning symbol “V” and the single winning symbol “2”) are derived. As described above, the player can recognize the contents of the single symbol variably displayed by the variation rendering unit by the single symbol derived by the introduction rendering unit. In addition, by deriving the single-probability variation symbol “V” as a single symbol, the player can have a sense of expectation that a special probability-variable large-hit game is awarded as a big-hit game. In the introductory effect section, the variable display (reach display) is executed in a small decorative drawing in the small display area 17b of the symbol display device 17.

  The display control CPU 70a, after executing the introduction effect unit for 4000 ms, switches the background image from the introduction effect unit to the common development image and starts the variation effect unit. That is, the overall control CPU 65a displays all the single symbols derived by the introduction effect section in a circular pattern in the order shown in FIG. 17, for example, and moves the single symbols one by one to the single effective stop position 27a. Perform variable display. For example, a case will be described in which a single off symbol “x” that has arrived at the single effective stop position 27a for the third time is temporarily stopped. In addition, the number attached | subjected to the side of the single symbol in FIG. 17 shows the order which arrives at the single effective stop position 27a. First, the first single symbol (single off symbol “x”) is moved to the single effective stop position 27a and enlarged and displayed. Next, the second single symbol (single probability variation per symbol “V”) moves to the single effective stop position 27a and is enlarged and displayed. At this time, if the single probability variation per symbol “V” is temporarily stopped, the player is given a special probability variation big hit game, and therefore is interested in whether or not the single probability variation per symbol “V” is temporarily stopped. Enhancing the fun of playing games. When the third single symbol (single off symbol “x”) arrives at the effective stop position, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a single symbol temporary stop command, and the display control CPU 70a outputs the single off symbol “ “×” is temporarily stopped (stop display) at the single effective stop position 27a. When the single off symbol “x” temporarily stops at the single effective stop position 27a, the player recognizes that the single off symbol “x” is out of place.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image from the common developed image to the normal background after 53,000 ms from the start of variation, and ends the common development effect (variable rendering unit). In addition, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating a missing symbol combination (for example, “252”), and the display control CPU 70a displays the missing symbol combination on the symbol display device 17 as the final symbol. Further, after 54000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the main control CPU 60a outputs an all symbol stop command, and the off symbol combination “252” is confirmed and stopped.

  Next, for example, in the case where the jackpot determination result triggered by winning the first start winning opening 31a is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines the second high reach development variation pattern P16 for jackpot as the variation pattern. . Further, it is assumed that symbol A (special probability variable big hit game) is determined as the big hit symbol. It is assumed that the reach symbol in the normal reach production and the second highly reliable super reach production is “7 ↓ 7”. When the fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the second high reach development fluctuation pattern P16 is input, the overall control CPU 65a executes a temporary stop single symbol determination process, and as a single symbol for temporary stop in the common development effect, The symbol “V” per chance is determined. The overall control CPU 65a may determine a single per symbol “7” as a single symbol. Next, the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command for designating the second high reach development effect pattern to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a starts the symbol variation effect based on the second high reach development effect pattern. Let

  As in the case of the second low reach development fluctuation pattern P11 described above, the reach pattern “7 ↓ 7” is displayed 10000 ms after the start of the change and the normal reach effect is executed. Switching to the image D, the second highly reliable super reach effect is executed. Then, as shown in FIG. 21, the overall control CPU 65a designates a decoration (for example, “8”) different from the decorations (reach symbols) in the left and right columns 26a and 26c in the middle column 26b after 34000 ms from the start of the change. The temporary stop symbol designation command is output, and the display control CPU 70a temporarily stops the designated decoration diagram in the middle row 26b, and once derives the symbol combination “787”. Furthermore, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image from the reach effect image D to the introduction effect image after 43,000 ms from the start of the change, and starts the introduction effect part of the common development effect. As shown in FIG. 15, in the introductory production unit, for example, one single off symbol “×”, two single probability variation per symbol “V”, “V”, and one single accuracy per symbol “☆”. One single symbol “7” is derived. In this way, when two single-probability variation symbols “V” are derived in the introductory production section, the player feels that there is a high possibility that a special probability variation big-hit game will be given as a big-hit game, and the expectation is further increased. Enhanced. In the introductory effect part, in the small display area 17b of the symbol display device 17, a variable display (reach display) by a small decorative drawing is executed.

  Next, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image from the introduction effect unit to the common development image and starts the variation effect unit. For example, a single symbol derived by the introduction effect section is arranged in a ring shape in the order shown in FIG. 18, and the single probability variation symbol “V” arriving for the fourth time at the single effective stop position 27a is temporarily stopped. And In FIG. 18, the numbers attached to the sides of the single symbols indicate the order of arrival at the single effective stop position 27a. First, the first single symbol (the symbol “☆” per single-accuracy system) is moved to the single effective stop position 27a and enlarged. At this time, the player recognizes that the probability variation big hit game or the jump up probability variation big hit game is suddenly given by the temporary stop of the single hit probability system symbol. Next, the second single symbol (single probability variation per symbol “V”) moves to the single effective stop position 27a and is enlarged and displayed. At this time, if the single probability variation per symbol “V” is temporarily stopped, the player is given a special probability variation big hit game, and therefore, the player is interested in whether or not the single probability variation per symbol “V” is provisionally stopped. Will be held. Further, the third single symbol (single off symbol “x”) moves to the single effective stop position 27a and is enlarged and displayed. When the fourth single symbol (single probability variation per symbol “V”) arrives at the single effective stop position 27a, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a single symbol temporary stop command, and the display control CPU 70a Temporarily stop (stop display) the symbol “V” per certain change. By temporarily stopping the single probability variation symbol at the single effective stop position 27a, the player recognizes that the special probability variation big hit game is given.

  Then, after 53000 ms from the start of change, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image from the common developed image to the normal background, and ends the common developed effect (variable effect unit). Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating a jackpot symbol combination “777” based on the same first identification symbol, and the overall control CPU 65a displays the jackpot symbol combination. The final symbol is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Further, after 54,000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the main control CPU 60a outputs an all symbol stop command, and the big hit symbol combination “777” is confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the special probability variation big hit game by the symbol A is executed, and the player is given an opportunity to obtain a prize ball.

  In this way, in the common development effect, a special variation display with a single pattern different from the normal decoration drawing is executed, so that the player can enjoy the production specific to the common development effect, and the entertainment of the game. Is increased. Moreover, in the common development effects, a variable display with a single symbol including a single per symbol notification symbol (single probability variation per symbol "V", single perceptual variation per symbol "☆") that can recognize the type of jackpot game is displayed. Since the game is executed, the player can enjoy the expectation as to which jackpot game is selected at the same time as the expectation as to whether or not the jackpot.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the reliability of the low reliability super reach variation patterns P1 to P4 is set lower than the reliability of the high reliability super reach variation patterns P5 to P8. When the degree super-reach effect and the second low-reliability super reach effect are executed, the player's expectation for the big hit is relatively low. However, as shown in FIG. 9, since the reliability of the low reach development variation patterns P9 to P12 is set to be the same as that of the high reach development variation patterns P13 to P16 (50%), the first low reliability super pattern Even when the reach production or the second low-reliability super-reach production is executed, the expectation to the big hit will be enhanced when the production develops to the common development production. That is, even if the first low-reliability super reach production and the second low-reliability super reach production with low reliability are executed, the player's loss of expectation is suppressed and the interest in the game is maintained. be able to.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the probability (development rate 2/6) of developing to the common development effect via the first or second high reliability super reach effect is expressed as the first or second low reliability super reach. It is set higher than the probability (development rate 3/11) of developing to the common development effect via the effect. Therefore, when the highly reliable super reach production is executed, the possibility of developing to the common development production increases, so that the player expects to develop into the common development production when the high reliability super reach production is executed. Will improve and the fun of the game will be enhanced. In the embodiment, since a plurality of types of low-reliability super-reach production and high-reliability super-reach production are set, it is possible to provide a variety of reach productions and suppress the player from getting bored with the game. . In addition, in the symbol variation production specified by the low reach and high reach common development variation patterns P9 to P16, the normal reach production and each super reach production until the development to the common development production includes the corresponding low-reliability super reach variation pattern and high Since it is set to the same content as the symbol variation effect specified by the reliability super reach variation pattern, will the player develop into the common development effect until the common development effect (introduction effect section) is started? It is impossible to determine whether or not. Therefore, it cannot be predicted whether or not it will develop into a common development effect in the middle of the production, and a sense of expectation for the common development production when the super reach production is executed is maintained, and the interest of the game is enhanced. Furthermore, the first and second low-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 and the first and second high-reliability super-reach fluctuation patterns P5 to P8 are set so that the reliability to the big hit is different. The expectation of the player changes for each executed super reach production, and the interest of the game can be maintained.

[Example of change]
The above-described embodiment can be variously modified as described below.
(1) In the embodiment, as the low reliability super reach production (low reliability reach production), the first and second low reliability super reach productions are set, and the high reliability super reach production (high reliability reach production). ), The first and second high-reliability super reach effects are set. However, the low-reliability reach effect and the high-reliability reach effect may be only one type, or three or more types may be set. Further, although the reliability threshold value (reference value) for classifying the low reliability reach fluctuation pattern and the high reliability reach fluctuation pattern is set to 20%, the reference value is not limited to 20%. Alternatively, those having a reliability of 30% or more may be defined as a high reliability reach fluctuation pattern, and those having a reliability of less than 30% may be defined as a low reliability reach fluctuation pattern.
(2) The reliability of the low-reliability reach fluctuation pattern and the high-reliability reach fluctuation pattern is not limited to the values shown in the embodiment, and the reliability of the high-reliability reach fluctuation pattern is low-reliability reach fluctuation. If it is higher than the reliability of the pattern, the reliability of both variation patterns can be changed as appropriate. Also, the rate of development from low-reliability reach production to common development production and the rate of development from high-reliability reach production to common development production are not limited to the values shown in the examples, but from high-reliability reach production. If the development rate to the common development effect is higher than the development rate from the low reliability reach production to the common development production, it can be changed as appropriate.
(3) In the embodiment, the transition to the common development effect is made after the super reach production. However, the common development production is changed from the normal reach production to the common development production, or through the normal reach production, the super reach production and the special reach production. You may make it transfer to.
(4) In the embodiment, the normal reach effect is switched from the normal background to the reach effect image at a predetermined timing, and the super reach effect is started. However, when developing from a normal reach effect to a super reach effect, a pre-rush effect that notifies the development of the super reach effect may be executed.
(5) In the embodiment, at least the single outlier symbol and the single per seed report symbol are derived in the introduction effect section in the common development effect. Alternatively, it may be derived or only a symbol per single probability variation or a symbol per single accuracy system may be derived. In the common development effects of the embodiment, the variable display is performed with five single symbols, but the variable display is performed using six or more single symbols, or the variable display is performed with two to four single symbols. You may go. In addition, a single symbol derivation table in which a plurality of types of single symbol combinations derived by the introduction effect unit are set is stored in advance in, for example, the overall control ROM, and a combination of single symbols derived by the introduction effect unit is, for example, the overall control CPU. May be selected from a single symbol derivation table. Here, the combination of single symbols set in the single symbol derivation table is set so that the number of symbols with a single probability variation and the number of symbols out of single are different. If the hit determination result is affirmative, it is easy to select a single probability variation per symbol or a combination with a single per symbol out of number and more than the number of symbols (so that the determination value distributed to the combination increases) If the result of the hit judgment is negative, it is easy to select a combination with a single probability variation per symbol or a single per symbol symbol that is less than the number of symbols that are out of the single (it will be distributed to that combination). Set so that the judgment value increases). In this way, if the reliability is set to change according to the combination of single symbols, the player will be interested in the combination of single symbols derived by the introductory effect section, and the interest of the game will be improved Is done.
(6) In the embodiment, the main control CPU is configured to function as a hit determination means, a variation pattern determination means, and a hit game determination means. However, these means may be provided separately on the main control board, the overall control board, or the like. Good. Further, the overall control CPU may have all or part of the functions of these means.
(7) In the embodiment, the overall control CPU functions as the effect execution control means. However, the effect execution control means is separately provided on the overall control board or the main control board, or the main control CPU functions as the effect execution control means. You may make it do.
(8) In the embodiment, the start winning detection sensor is provided at each of the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening, and the game balls are individually detected. However, the pachinko balls won at each starting winning opening are 1 It is good also as a structure detected with one sensor.
(9) In the embodiment, when the jackpot symbol is symbol A, symbol a or symbol b, the symbol combination consisting of the first identification symbol that causes the player to recognize the probability variation jackpot as the jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and stopped as the final symbol. The configuration. However, for example, when executing a promotion effect that informs the player that the game is a probable big hit game during the big hit game, the symbol combination consisting of the second identification symbols is derived as the final symbol as a result of the symbol variation effect. You may do it. Further, in the embodiment, when the big hit symbol is symbol A, the overall control CPU, as a single symbol to be temporarily stopped in the common development effect, a single probability variable symbol or a single symbol (an odd symbol identical to the reach symbol) It was set as the structure which determines. However, for example, when executing a promotion effect that informs the player that the game is a promising big hit game during the big hit game, the single win symbol is determined as a single symbol to be temporarily stopped with the common development effect. Also good. In this case, the even number symbol which is the second identification symbol is determined as the reach symbol, and the same even symbol as the reach symbol is also determined for the single hit symbol.
(10) In the embodiment, the state in which the first privilege gaming state is given is set as the probability variation state, but is not limited to this, and the state in which the first privilege gaming state and the second privilege gaming state are combined is definitely modified. It can also be in a state. In this case, a state in which neither the first privilege gaming state nor the second privilege gaming state is given can be set to the non-probable change state.
(11) In the embodiment, a special figure display means (special figure display) for displaying a special figure is provided independently of a symbol display means (design display device) for displaying a design symbol (decorative drawing). However, this is not a limitation. For example, you may make it display both a decoration drawing and a special figure in a symbol display means. Moreover, you may make it display on a symbol display means in common with a decorative drawing and a special drawing.
(12) In the embodiment, as the opening / closing mode (opening / closing pattern) of the opening / closing means (opening / closing door) of the special winning means (special winning device) in each round game of the big hit game, the long opening operation and the short opening operation are appropriately selected An example of combination is shown. Here, the long-time opening operation of the opening / closing means may be an opening mode that is more advantageous than the short-time opening operation of the opening / closing means. As the opening / closing control in which the short-time opening operation of the opening / closing means is disadvantageous, the pachinko ball is released in one opening operation (operation from opening to closing) under the condition that the pachinko ball is continuously fired at a predetermined interval. It can be an opening time in which winning is virtually impossible. In addition, on the condition that the pachinko balls are continuously fired at a predetermined interval, the predetermined number of pachinko balls are won even if the opening time is one open operation (operation from opening to closing). By making the opening time substantially impossible, it is possible to have an opening / closing mode in which the short-time opening operation of the opening / closing means is disadvantageous compared to the long-time opening operation. In addition, when the opening / closing means is opened for a long time, it is not necessary that the prescribed number of pachinko balls determined in the round game can be won, compared to the case where the opening / closing means is opened for a long time, It is also possible to set the opening time so that more pachinko balls can win.
