Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of displaying on a symbol display means a pseudo continuous notice effect that suggests whether or not a winning display result is displayed during 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 that faces is displayed 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 in 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, if the symbols stop in a predetermined combination on the symbol display device (for example, a triple of the same symbols, etc.), a winning game that is advantageous to the player occurs, and the special prize opening of the special prize winning device Will be given an opportunity to open and win a prize ball.

  In this type of symbol variation effect, various effects that suggest the possibility of winning a game for the player are performed in order to improve the interest of the player. As one of such effects, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, in a single symbol variation effect, is the symbol stopped a plurality of times (temporarily stopped) and the symbol variation effect is continuously executed? There is a pseudo-continuous notice effect that performs such an effect. In this quasi-continuous notice effect, the probability of becoming a winning game, that is, the expected level of winning increases as the number of symbol changes (pseudo-variable cycle) executed in a pseudo manner during one symbol change effect increases. Generally set. Therefore, in the conventional pseudo continuous notice effect, the player expects that many pseudo fluctuation cycles are executed even once.

JP 2008-104524 A

  As described above, in the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the expectation degree of the hit game is suggested by the number of times of execution of the pseudo-variable cycle. However, since the number of times that the symbol is temporarily stopped in one pseudo-variation cycle is one, there is a difficulty that the player can easily identify the number of times of the pseudo-variation cycle from the number of temporary stops of the symbol. Therefore, when the player recognizes that the number of pseudo-variation cycles is small, interest in the pseudo-continuous notice effect is rapidly lost, and there is a disadvantage that the interest of the game is reduced.

  That is, the present invention has been proposed in order to suitably solve these problems inherent in the gaming machine according to the prior art, and it is difficult to predict the number of executions of the continuous unit effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of maintaining the player's interest in the pseudo continuous notice effect.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the intended purpose, the gaming machine according to the present invention is:
A start winning means (31a, 31b) in which a game ball can win, and a symbol display means (17) for displaying a symbol variation effect in which a plurality of types of symbols fluctuate and stop once. In a gaming machine in which a winning game that is advantageous to a player is executed when a preset winning display result is displayed in the symbol variation effect,
Hit determination means (60a) for determining whether or not to generate the winning game triggered by winning a game ball to the start winning means (31a, 31b),
This is a simulation that suggests whether or not the winning display result is displayed from among a plurality of types of variation patterns in the symbol variation effect when the game ball is awarded to the start winning means (31a, 31b). Fluctuation pattern determining means (60a) capable of determining a pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern (P6, P7, P8, P11, P12, P13) for specifying a continuous notice effect;
When the pseudo continuous notice variation pattern (P6, P7, P8, P11, P12, P13) is determined by the variation pattern determining means (60a), from the variation start of the symbol to the temporary stop in one symbol variation effect Production execution control means (65a) for continuously executing a continuous unit production for a plurality of times.
The pseudo-continuous notice effect is configured by combining one or more pseudo-variable cycles consisting of a fixed time,
The pseudo continuous notice variation pattern (P6, P7, P8, P11, P12, P13) is set with a plurality of different types of the pseudo variation cycle,
The continuous unit director, said the pseudo cycle end definite effect the termination is determined variation cycle (B) and contiguous units continued effect the continuation of the continuous unit effect is determined (A, C, D) a plurality of types set containing the The continuous unit continuation effect is a cycle continuation production effect (D) in which the continuation of the pseudo-variation cycle is confirmed, a cycle end indication effect (A) that suggests the end of the pseudo-variation cycle, and a cycle continuation that suggests the continuation of the pseudo-variation cycle. Including suggestion production (C),
The cycle end confirmation effect (B), the cycle end suggestion effect (A), and the cycle continuation suggestion effect (C) are all set to the same short effect time, and these short effect time continuous unit effects The production time repeated several times coincides with the time of the pseudo-variation cycle,
The production time of the cycle continuation production effect (D) is set to a long production time longer than the short production time, and the production time of repeating the cycle continuation production production (D) a plurality of times is the time of the pseudo fluctuation cycle Matches
The variation pattern determining means (60a) is a pseudo continuous notice variation pattern (P6, P7, P8, P11, P12) in which the number of components of the pseudo variation cycle is small when the determination result of the hit determination means (60a) is affirmative. , P13) Pseudo continuous notice fluctuation patterns (P6, P7, P8, P11, P12, P13) with more pseudo fluctuation cycles are configured to be easy to determine, and the judgment result of the hit judgment means (60a) is negative. In this case, the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern (P6, P7, P8) has a smaller number of pseudo fluctuation cycles than the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern (P6, P7, P8, P11, P12, P13) with many pseudo fluctuation cycles. , P11, P12, P13)
The presentation execution control means (65a) is
In one of the pseudo variation cycle even without low, and executes the successive units rendition of at least twice, whereas at least one of the end-of-cycle determined effect (B) or a continuous unit continued effect (A, C, D) Is set to run ,
After the cycle end suggestion effect (A), the cycle end confirmation effect (B) is set to be executed,
Wherein at least only one dose of time the cycle continues confirm effect of the pseudo variation cycle (D) with repeated a plurality of times, straddling the two pseudo variation cycle is set to run the cycle continues determine directing (D) Rukoto Is the gist.
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the effect execution control means executes at least two continuous unit effects within the pseudo-variable cycle, so that the player determines the number of times the continuous unit effects are executed. It becomes difficult to predict, and the player's interest in the pseudo continuous notice effect can be maintained. In addition, when the hit determination means is a hit determination, a pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern having a large number of pseudo-variable cycles is easily determined, so that the number of pseudo-variable cycles is large and many continuous unit effects are executed. In addition, the expectation of winning games can be increased.
In addition, the production execution control means is set so that the cycle end indication effect can be executed after the cycle end indication effect, so whether or not the pseudo continuous notice effect is continued when the cycle end indication effect is executed. Interest can be given to the player. Furthermore, when the cycle end confirmation effect is not executed after the cycle end suggestion effect, the pseudo-continuous notice effect continues, so that the interest of the game can be improved.
Furthermore, since the cycle end confirmation effect, the cycle end suggestion effect, and the cycle continuation suggestion effect are set to the same short effect time, and the effect time obtained by repeating the short effect time a plurality of times coincides with the pseudo fluctuation cycle, the effect execution control The means can easily assign the continuous unit effect related to the short effect time within the pseudo-variable cycle, and can reduce the control burden. In addition, since a plurality of cycle continuation effect effects are executed across two pseudo-variable cycles, the player can ensure that the continuation of the pseudo continuous notice effect is confirmed when the cycle continuation effect effect is executed. Can be recognized.

(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. In the symbol display device 17, a small display area 17b (hereinafter referred to as a small display area) is set in the upper left corner of the image display surface 17a. The small display area 17b is set to be displayed when a specific effect (such as a pseudo-continuous notice effect to be described later) is executed. In the small display area 17b, variable display with a small decorative drawing is executed. (See FIG. 20 and the like).

  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, and the special figure 1 and the decorative figure are displayed in a fixed stop state. Is done. 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 decorative figure are displayed in a fixed stop display. Is done. 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 decorative chart for a probability notification that is displayed when a sudden probability change 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 among the 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 “big hit symbol”, and the symbol combination of the three rows of decorative symbols constituting the outlier display result will be referred to as “offset symbol”. Sometimes 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 decorative drawing of 2 rows which forms a reach display may be called 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.

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)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31b increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. It is a state to do. 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. It should be noted that an interval in which the open / close door 43 is held in a closed state for a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as “inter-round interval”) is set between round games in the big hit game. 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.

It also has a function as a random number for determining whether or not to assign.

  In addition, the random number for effect execution determination performs an effect that suggests the possibility of displaying the jackpot display when the determination result in the jackpot determination described above is negative (in the case of failure to win the jackpot) This is a random number used in the effect execution determination (reach determination). In the embodiment, 239 kinds of integer values from “0” to “238” are set as random numbers for effect execution determination, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used to determine a variation pattern of symbol variation in a symbol variation effect. In the embodiment, 251 integer values from “0” to “250” are set as random numbers for distribution pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The random number for determining the normal map is a random number used in the determination for the normal map (lottery for the normal map) as to whether or not the normal map is generated as a result of the fluctuation of the normal map. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms).

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the big hit determination random number, the special figure determination random number, the production execution determination random number, and the variation pattern distribution random number are sent to the first start winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 31b. Each random number temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c is triggered by the fact that the player has won a prize (more specifically, the first start prize detection sensor 34a or the second start prize detection sensor 34b has detected a pachinko ball). 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. That is, the main control CPU 60a is triggered by the winning of a game ball in the first start winning opening 31a, and the first reach determining means (reach determining means) for determining whether or not a reach effect is performed, and the second start winning opening It has a function as a second reach determination means (reach determination means) for determining whether or not a reach effect is to be performed in response to winning of a pachinko ball to 31b. 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. That is, as shown in FIG. 31, when the probability that the determination result of the production execution determination is affirmative is the reach probability, the pachinko ball to the first start winning opening 31a in the case of the non-probable change state and the short-change state The reach probability (first first start reach probability) based on the prize (so-called regular prize) is set to 35/239, and when there is a probabilistic state and a variable state, the pachinko to the first start winning opening 31a The reach probability (second first start reach probability) based on the winning of the ball (so-called irregular winning) is set to 4/239, and in the case of the non-probable change state and the variable state, the first start winning opening 31a The reach probability (second first start reach probability) based on the pachinko ball winning (so-called irregular winning) is set to 6/239.

  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. That is, as shown in FIG. 31, in the case of the non-probable change state and the short-change state, the reach probability (first second start) based on the pachinko ball winning (so-called irregular winning) in the second start winning opening 31b. Reach probability) is set to 0/239, and when there is a probabilistic state and a variable state, the reach probability (second second prize) based on the pachinko ball winning (so-called regular winning) in the second starting winning opening 31b The start reach probability) is set to 4/239, and the reach probability based on the pachinko ball winning (so-called regular winning) in the second starting winning opening 31b in the case of the non-probable change state and the variable state (second win) The second start reach probability) is set to 6/239.

  Here, in the case where the gaming state (presence / absence of probability variation state and short / variable state) is the same, the reach probability based on the winning of the pachinko ball to the first starting winning port 31a and the winning of the pachinko ball to the second starting winning port 31b When the reach probability based on is compared, it is set as follows. That is, in the case of the non-probable change state and no change state, the reach probability (0/239) based on the winning of the pachinko ball to the second starting winning port 31b is the winning of the pachinko ball to the first starting winning port 31a. Lower than the base reach probability (35/239) (the first second start reach probability is lower than the first first start reach probability). In particular, since the reach probability based on the winning of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31b is set to 0, the fluctuation of the pattern based on the winning to the second starting winning opening 31b when the variable state is not given In the effect, the reach effect is set not to be executed (the determination result of the second reach determination means based on the second hold information is negative). However, it is not always necessary to set the reach probability based on the winning to the second start winning port 31b to 0, and it may be set lower than the reach probability based on the winning to the first starting winning port 31a. For example, the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b may be set to 1/239.

  Further, in the case where there is a probabilistic state and a variable state, the reach probability based on the pachinko ball winning in the first start winning port 31a is equal to or less than the reach probability based on the pachinko ball winning in the second starting winning port 31b (implementation). In the example, the reach probability is the same at 4/239) (the second first start reach probability is equal to or less than the second second start reach probability). Similarly, in the case of the non-probable change state and the short-change state, the reach probability based on the pachinko ball winning in the first start winning port 31a is equal to or less than the reach probability based on the pachinko ball winning in the second start winning port 31b. (In the embodiment, the reach probability is the same at 6/239) (the second first start reach probability is equal to or less than the second second start reach probability). In the embodiment, the reach probability based on the winning of the pachinko ball in the first start winning opening 31a and the reach probability based on the winning of the pachinko ball in the second starting winning opening 31b are stored in the first control RAM 60c. It is constant regardless of the number of stored figure start hold information and the number of second special figure start hold information.

  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 (outlier variation patterns), and specific variation pattern determination values for each variation pattern. Is stipulated. 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.

(About the control board)
The overall control board 65 is provided with an overall control CPU 65a. As shown in FIG. 8, an overall control ROM 65b and an overall control RAM 65c are connected to the overall control CPU 65a. 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 a display control program for controlling the display contents of the symbol display device 17. 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.

  In other words, the winning game determination means (winning determination means) for determining the type of winning game to be given from a plurality of types of winning games and the determined type of winning game after the end of the special figure variation display (after the end of the symbol variation effect) The main control CPU 60a has a function as a hit game granting unit. 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 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 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 “0” indicating that the first special figure variation display is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number stored in the first special figure start hold information (step B18) and stores it 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 various symbol variation effects such as a pseudo continuous notice effect described later 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 effect pattern determining means for determining various effect patterns such as a pseudo continuous notice effect pattern described later 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 symbol combination of the decorative symbol is determined depending on whether or not the promotion effect or the re-drawing effect is notified that the special probability variable big hit game is won. To do. In other words, when notifying the promotion effect or the re-drawing effect, the overall control CPU 65a does not definitely notify the player that the game will be in a probable state after the end of the big hit game (specifically, even symbols). If it is determined to be a combination of symbols in the same design, and it is not notified in the promotion effect or re-drawing effect, it is a decorative figure (specifically, it can be notified to the player definitely that it will be in a probable change state) Determine the jackpot symbol combination consisting of (odd symbols). When the jackpot symbol is symbol B or symbol c, the decorative symbol (specifically, even symbol) that does not definitely notify the player that the jackpot game will be in a probable change state after the jackpot game ends. Decide to be a symbol combination. Also, when the big hit symbol is symbol C, symbol D or symbol E, it is determined to be a symbol combination including a decorative figure (specifically, a sudden suggestion symbol) that suggests the possibility of a sudden probability change big hit game. . When the jackpot symbol is symbol F or symbol d, it is a symbol combination of the same symbol in the decorative symbol (specifically, even symbol) that does not definitely notify the player that the probable change state is reached. To decide.

  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.

(Specifications based on winning in the first start winning opening 31a in the normal mode)
Next, the specification based on winning in the first start winning opening 31a in the normal mode (non-probability changing state and no changing state) will be described focusing on characteristic portions. In the embodiment, as a symbol variation effect that can be executed based on winning in the first start winning opening 31a in the normal mode, a pseudo continuous notice effect that temporarily stops a symbol multiple times in one symbol variation effect. Is set. In addition, as a symbol variation effect, it is set so that a pseudo shortening misalignment effect (pseudo specific misalignment effect) in which a reach effect is executed after performing an effect similar to an outlier effect with a short variation time without a reach effect can be executed. . FIG. 9 shows a variation pattern that can be determined in response to winning in the first start winning opening 31a in the normal mode.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the variation pattern for the offending effect includes a normal variation pattern P1 whose variation time is set to 12000 ms, and specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 whose variation time is usually shorter than the variation pattern P1. ing. The specified deviation fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 are set in two types: a shortening deviation fluctuation pattern P2 in which the fluctuation time is set to 6400 ms, and a super shortening deviation fluctuation pattern P3 in which the fluctuation time is set to 3200 ms. In each of the symbol variation effects executed by the variation patterns P1 to P3 for the off-direction effect, a normal background (normal variation image) is displayed as a 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. As shown in FIG. 10, the effect (hereinafter referred to as “normal shift effect”) normally executed with the shift variation pattern P1 is temporarily decorated in the left symbol display column 26a (hereinafter simply referred to as the left column) 8500ms after the start of the variation. Stops (the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command), the decorative symbol temporarily stops in the right symbol display column 26c (hereinafter, simply referred to as the right column) 10000ms after the start of change, and displays the middle symbol 11600ms after the start of change. The decorative drawing temporarily stops in the row 26b (hereinafter, simply referred to as the middle row), and the off symbol is derived. Then, after 12000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the symbols are definitely stopped (the main control CPU 60a outputs all symbol stop commands). Therefore, in the normal deviation effect, the player recognizes that the reach effect is not executed when the decoration drawing is temporarily stopped in the right row 26c (10000 ms after the start of the change). However, normally, when the pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed based on the deviation fluctuation pattern P1, the reach effect is forcibly executed, and a deviation symbol is derived as a result of the reach effect ( (See FIG. 11). The effect pattern that defines the specific contents of the normal shift effect specified by the normal shift variation pattern P1 is normally stored in the overall control ROM 65b as a shift effect pattern. Then, when a variation pattern designation command that normally designates the deviation variation pattern P1 is input, the overall control CPU 65a normally determines the deviation production pattern as the production pattern, and normally controls the display of the production pattern designation command that designates the deviation production pattern. The data is output to the CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effect specified by the shortened deviation variation pattern P2 is usually a shortened variation effect with a variation time shorter than that of the deviation effect, and the decorative drawing temporarily stops at the left column 26a and the right column 26c simultaneously after 6000 ms from the start of the variation. After 6200 ms from the start of fluctuation, the decorative drawing temporarily stops in the middle row 26b, and the off-set symbol is derived. Then, after 6400 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the symbol is deviated and stopped. Therefore, in the short-running effect, the player recognizes that the reach effect is not executed when the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left and right rows 26a and 26c (after 6000 ms from the start of the change). The effect pattern that defines the specific content of the shortening deviation effect specified by the shortening deviation variation pattern P2 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as the shortening deviation effect pattern. Then, when the variation pattern designation command for designating the shortening deviation variation pattern P2 is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the shortening deviation production pattern as the production pattern, and displays the production pattern designation command for designating the shortening deviation production pattern. The data is output to the control CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effect specified by the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is a super-shortening failure effect whose variation time is shorter than that of the shortening failure effect, and is displayed on the left column 26a, the middle column 26b, and the right column 26c after 2800 ms from the start of the variation. The figure is set to temporarily stop at the same time, and to derive the off symbol. Then, after 3200 ms from the start of fluctuation, the fixed symbol is stopped with the off symbol. Therefore, in the symbol variation effect based on the super-shortened deviation variation pattern P3, when the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left middle right column 26a, 26b, 26c (after 2800 m from the variation start), the player does not execute the reach effect. Will recognize. The production pattern that defines the specific content of the super-shortening deviation effect specified by the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as the super-shortening deviation production pattern. Then, when the variation pattern designation command for designating the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the super-shortening deviation production pattern as the production pattern, and the super-shortening is the production pattern for designating the deviation production pattern. A designated command is output to the display control CPU 70a. In the embodiment, when the shortening deviation variation pattern P2 and the super shortening deviation variation pattern P3 are determined, the pseudo shortening deviation effect is set not to be executed.

  Here, in the embodiment, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the specific deviation fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 (that is, the shortening deviation fluctuation pattern P2 or the super-shortening deviation fluctuation pattern P3) is the first probability at the start of the symbol fluctuation effect. It is set so as to change according to the number of stored special figure start hold information (the number of hold information stored in the hold storage means). Specifically, all of the determination values ("0" to "250" 251) for determining the normal deviation fluctuation pattern P1 and the specific deviation fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 (shortening deviation fluctuation pattern P2 and super-shortening deviation fluctuation pattern P3). By changing the distribution of the first integer) according to the number of stored first special figure start hold information, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the out-of-specific variation patterns P2, P3 is changed.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the embodiment, the probability of determining the specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 is higher than that in the case where the number of stored first special figure start hold information is less than “3” (predetermined number). It is set to be higher when the number of memories is “3” or more. That is, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “1 to 2”, there are “71” judgment values assigned to the specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 (only the short deviation variation pattern P2). On the other hand, when the stored number of the first special figure start hold information is “3”, the determination value distributed to the specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 is set to “220”, and the first special figure start hold information is set. In the case where the stored number of “4” is “4”, the number of determination values distributed to the specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 is set to “239”. That is, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “4”, the main control CPU 60a has the highest probability of determining the off-specific fluctuation patterns P2 and P3, and the number of first special figure start hold information stored. Is “1-2”, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the non-specific fluctuation patterns P2, P3 is the lowest.

  Further, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “3”, the main control CPU 60a is set to determine the shortening deviation variation pattern P2 most easily (determination assigned to the shortening deviation variation pattern P2). The most common value is “180”). Further, when the stored number of the first special figure start hold information is “4”, the main control CPU 60a is set to determine the super shortening deviation variation pattern P3 most easily (assigned to the super shortening deviation variation pattern P3). The determination value is “202”, which is the largest. When the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “1-2”, the main control CPU 60a is set not to determine the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 (the distribution to the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3). Decision value “0”).

  As shown in FIG. 9, the fluctuation pattern for the divergence reach production that can be determined based on the winning at the first start winning opening 31a is the normal reach deviation fluctuation that stops the fixed symbol after executing the normal reach production (described later). After the pattern P4 and the normal reach effect, the super reach effect (described later) is executed. A plurality of types of pseudo-continuous advance notice shift patterns P6 to P8 to be confirmed and stopped are set. In addition, as the variation pattern for the big hit effect, the normal reach big hit variation pattern (normal reach variation pattern) P9 for confirming and stopping the big hit symbol after executing the normal reach effect, and the big hit symbol after executing the super reach effect through the normal reach effect. A super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P10 that is fixed and stopped, and pseudo continuous notice big hit fluctuation patterns P11 to P13 that finally stop the big hit symbol after reaching the reach effect after executing the pseudo continuous notice effect are set. In the embodiment, the reach effect (normal reach effect and super reach effect) is executed after the pseudo continuous notice effect is executed. Further, in the following description, the pseudo continuous notice shift pattern P6 to P8 and the pseudo continuous notice big hit fluctuation patterns P11 to P13 may be collectively referred to as a pseudo continuous notice change pattern. In addition, the super reach deviation variation pattern P5 and the super reach big hit variation pattern P10 may be collectively referred to as a super reach variation pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach deviation variation pattern P4 is temporarily stopped in the left column 26a after 8000 ms from the start of variation, and in the right column 26c after 10,000 sm from the variation start. Is temporarily stopped, a reach display is displayed, and a normal reach effect is executed. Then, the decorative drawing temporarily stops in the middle row 26b after 17000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, and the off symbol is derived, and after 19000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the off symbol is fixedly stopped. Further, in the normal reach effect, the normal background is displayed as the background image in the same manner as the above-described normal shift effect and shortened shift effect, and the reach effect is performed under the normal background. That is, the normal reach effect means a reach effect that is executed under a normal background. The effect pattern that defines the specific content of the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach deviation variation pattern P4 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as a normal reach deviation effect pattern. When the fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern P4 is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the normal reach deviation production pattern as the production pattern, and displays the production pattern designation command for designating the normal reach deviation production pattern. The data is output to the control CPU 70a.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the symbol variation effect specified by the super reach deviation variation pattern P5 is temporarily stopped in the left column 26a after 8000 ms from the start of variation, as in the normal reach deviation variation pattern P4. The decorative drawing temporarily stops in the right row 26c after 10,000 sm from the start of the fluctuation, and the normal reach effect is executed. Then, after 17000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the background image is switched from the normal background to the reach effect image, and the super reach effect is executed. The reach effect image is a background image that is one of the special backgrounds and is displayed in a mode different from the normal background, and allows the player to recognize that it is a super reach effect. As the reach effect image, for example, an animation image (moving image) in which a specific character appears, a gradation image in which lightness, darkness, and color tone are changed in stages are set. Then, after 34,000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the middle row 26b, and the off symbol is derived, and after 43,000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the off symbol is fixedly stopped. In other words, the super reach effect is a reach effect that is developed after the normal reach effect, and means that the reach effect image is displayed as the background image. The effect pattern that defines the specific contents of the symbol variation effect specified by the super reach deviation variation pattern P5 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as the super reach deviation effect pattern. When the fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P5 is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the super reach deviation production pattern as the production pattern, and the super reach designates the deviation production pattern. Commands are output to the display control CPU 70a.

  As for the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach big hit variation pattern P9, the normal reach effect is executed in the same manner as the normal reach deviation variation pattern P4. Then, after 17000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the middle row 26b and a big hit symbol is derived, and the big hit symbol is fixedly stopped after 19000 ms from the start of fluctuation. An effect pattern that specifies the specific contents of the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach jackpot variation pattern P9 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as a normal reach jackpot effect pattern. When the fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9 is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the normal reach big hit production pattern as the production pattern, and displays the production pattern designation command for designating the normal reach production pattern. The data is output to the CPU 70a.

  As for the symbol variation effect specified by the super reach big hit variation pattern P10, similar to the super reach deviation variation pattern P5, the normal reach effect is executed first, and the super reach effect is executed 17000 ms after the start of the variation. Then, after 34,000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the middle row 26b and a big hit symbol is derived, and after 43,000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the big hit symbol is fixedly stopped as a result of the super reach effect. The effect pattern that defines the specific contents of the symbol variation effect specified by the super reach jackpot variation pattern P10 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as a super reach jackpot effect pattern. When the fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern P10 is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the super reach jackpot presentation pattern as the presentation pattern and designates the super reach jackpot presentation pattern. Commands are output to the display control CPU 70a. In the embodiment, when the super reach deviation variation pattern P5 and the super reach big hit variation pattern P10 are determined, the pseudo shortening deviation effect is set to be executed.

(Pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern)
The pseudo-continuous notice effect is configured by combining one or more pseudo-variable cycles each having a constant variation time. In the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the pseudo fluctuation cycle is set to 12000 ms, and the pseudo continuous notice effect is set to a plurality of types with different numbers of pseudo fluctuation cycles (2 to 4 in the embodiment). In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 33, as the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern, a pseudo two-time deviation fluctuation pattern P6 and a pseudo two-time big hit fluctuation pattern P11 configured by two pseudo fluctuation cycles are used. A pseudo three-time deviation fluctuation pattern P7 and a pseudo three-time big hit fluctuation pattern P12 constituted by a pseudo fluctuation cycle, and a pseudo four-time deviation fluctuation pattern P8 and a pseudo four-time big hit fluctuation pattern P13 constituted by four pseudo fluctuation cycles. Is set.

  In the pseudo continuous notice effect specified by the pseudo continuous notice change patterns P6 to P8 and P11 to P13, the reach indication (reach symbol) is displayed in the last pseudo change cycle in any change pattern, and the normal reach effect is obtained. It is supposed to be executed. The final design is derived from the normal reach production to the super reach production. In the pseudo two-time deviation fluctuation pattern P6, the pseudo three-time deviation fluctuation pattern P7, and the pseudo four-time deviation fluctuation pattern P8, the deviation symbol is finally stopped, and the pseudo two-time big hit fluctuation pattern P11, the pseudo three-times big hit In the fluctuation pattern P12 and the pseudo 4 big hit fluctuation pattern P13, the big hit symbol is finally stopped. In the embodiment, when the pseudo continuous notice change pattern is determined, the pseudo shortening off effect can be executed.

  In the quasi-continuous notice effect, a continuous unit effect is executed continuously a plurality of times in a single symbol variation effect. In other words, one symbol variation effect accompanied by a pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed by continuously executing the continuous unit effect a plurality of times, so that one symbol variation effect is continuously performed a plurality of times. The production is performed as if it were broken. Further, in the pseudo continuous notice effect of the embodiment, a pre-entry effect (described later) for notifying the execution of the pseudo continuous notice effect is executed prior to the continuous unit effect. The pseudo continuous notice effect is an effect executed only by the symbol display device 17 in one symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 17 and the first special symbol display 50.

  Here, in the embodiment, in the case of one symbol variation effect accompanied with a pseudo continuous notice effect, the possibility of whether or not a big hit symbol (hit display result) is changed depending on the number of components of the pseudo variation cycle. Is set to That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the big hit determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a has a larger number of pseudo-variable cycles than the pseudo-continuous notice variation pattern having a small number of pseudo-variable cycles. It is set so that the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern can be easily determined. On the other hand, when the big hit determination result is negative, the main control CPU 60a can easily determine the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern having a smaller number of pseudo fluctuation cycles than the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern having a large number of pseudo fluctuation cycles. Is set.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, when the jackpot determination result is affirmative, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the pseudo two- to four-time jackpot variation patterns P11, P13, and P13 (the determination probability in FIG. 14). ) Is set so as to increase in the order of pseudo 2 big hit fluctuation pattern P11 <pseudo 3 big hit fluctuation pattern P12 <pseudo 4 big hit fluctuation pattern P13. On the other hand, when the big hit determination result is negative, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the pseudo fluctuation pattern P6, P7, P8 from pseudo 2 times to pseudo 4 times is pseudo 4 times deviation fluctuation pattern P8 <pseudo 3 times deviation fluctuation pattern. P7 <pseudo is set to be higher in the order of the deviation variation pattern P6 twice. Thus, by setting the probability of determining each of the pseudo continuous notice variation patterns P6 to P8 and P11 to P13, the reliability (expected degree) of the player's jackpot can be determined by configuring the pseudo change cycle in the pseudo continuous notice effect. It will increase as the number (variation time) increases.

  A plurality of continuous unit effects executed in the pseudo continuous notice effect are set. In the embodiment, the continuous unit effects are classified into a cycle end confirmed effect B in which the end of the pseudo-variable cycle is determined and a continuous unit continuous effects A, C, and D in which the continuation of the continuous unit effect is determined. A, C, and D are classified into a cycle end suggestion effect A, a cycle continuation suggestion effect C, and a cycle continuation confirmation effect D. In each continuous unit effect, a symbol variation effect is performed in a variation time set to 3000 ms or 4000 ms, and all decoration drawings are temporarily stopped simultaneously at the end of the variation time of each continuous unit effect. The symbol combinations derived by the continuous unit effect are the same in the left middle row 26a, 26b, such as “776” and “221”, and the right side 26c decorative drawing is the value from the left middle row 26a, 26b. Is a small off symbol (see FIG. 15). However, in the continuous unit effect (cycle end confirmation effect B) executed at the end of the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the reach symbol is derived. In addition, the missed symbol derived by the continuous unit effect is referred to as a “pseudo miss”. Further, in the continuous unit effect, the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner in the small display area 17b of the symbol display device 17. That is, in the continuous unit effect, the decorative drawing is displayed in the small display area 17b, and the pseudo-continuity is displayed in the normal display area at the end of the continuous unit effect. Further, in the continuous unit effect, a unit image set for each continuous unit effect is displayed as a background image.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the cycle end confirmation effect B, as the unit image, a unit image 1 that informs the player of the end of the pseudo-variation cycle (pseudo continuous notice effect) (for example, an image in which a character is attacked by an enemy). Is displayed. In the cycle continuation determination effect D, a unit image 2 (for example, an image of a character accelerating at a high speed on a motorcycle) is displayed as a unit image for notifying the player that the continuation of the pseudo-variation cycle has been determined. ing. In the cycle end suggestion effect A, a unit image 3 (for example, an image in which an enemy character is jealous) that informs the player that the pseudo-variation cycle may end is displayed as the unit image. Yes. In the cycle continuation suggestion effect C, a unit image 4 (for example, an image of a character accelerating at a low speed on a motorcycle) is displayed as a unit image that allows the player to recognize that a pseudo-variable cycle may continue. It has become.

  Here, the variation times of the cycle end confirmation effect B, the cycle end suggestion effect A, and the cycle continuation suggestion effect C are all set to the same short effect time (3000 ms in the embodiment). On the other hand, the variation time of the cycle continuation determination effect D is set to a long effect time (4000 ms in the embodiment) longer than the short effect time. That is, when the continuous unit effect of the short effect time is repeated a plurality of times (in the embodiment, four times), the change time corresponds to the change time (12000 ms) of one time of the pseudo change cycle and is a long effect time. The variation time when the cycle continuation effect D is repeated a plurality of times (three times in the embodiment) matches the variation time for one time of the pseudo variation cycle.

  There are two types of pre-entry effects that are executed at the start of the pseudo-continuous notice effect (first pseudo-variation cycle): a first pre-entry effect and a second pre-entry effect that have different variation times. As shown in FIG. 16, the first pre-entry effect is a display of a pseudo-continuous notification image for notifying the entry of the pseudo continuous notice effect for a predetermined time (in the example, 6000 ms). In other words, the first pre-entry effect is executed using a fluctuation time that is half of the first pseudo fluctuation cycle. The second pre-entry effect is to notify the entry of the pseudo continuous notice effect by deriving a “pseudo-continuous entry point” after performing an effect similar to the above-described normal deviation effect. The pseudo-continuous entry is a dedicated symbol combination that triggers entry into the pseudo-continuous notice effect. In the embodiment, the decorative drawing of the left row 26a is “7 ★ 6” or “4 ★ 3”. Is a symbol that is 1 larger than the decorative drawing in the right row 26c, and a symbol combination in which a specific symbol (hereinafter referred to as a pseudo-continuous entry symbol, and indicated by “★”) is displayed in the middle row 26b is set as a pseudo-continuous entry point. ing. However, the pseudo continuous entry point is not limited to this symbol combination. For example, a combination of symbols in which three rows of decorative symbols are arranged in a continuous ascending or descending order (for example, “123”, “321”), and the decorative symbols in the left symbol display column 26a and the middle symbol display column 26b are the same, and the right symbol A combination of symbols in which the value of the decoration in the display row 26c is shifted by one (for example, “778”), and further, a combination of symbols in which the three rows of decorations are arranged in a predetermined alignment (for example, “758” (Nagoya)), etc. A specific symbol combination can be set as a pseudo-continuous entry point. That is, in the effect before the second entry, the symbol variation effect is started under the normal background, and the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left and right rows 26a and 26c 10000 ms after the variation starts. Then, after 12000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the pseudo continuous entry symbol temporarily stops in the middle row 26b, and the pseudo continuous entry is displayed. That is, the second pre-entry effect is executed using all the variation time of the first pseudo variation cycle.

  When the pseudo continuous notice change pattern is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 from the plurality of types of pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 that specify the contents of the pseudo continuous notice effect. Configured to do. As shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B, the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 are pseudo-continuous classified according to the number of constituents of the variable cycle and the number of executions of the cycle end suggesting effect A (specific continuous unit effect). It is defined in the notice effect table, and this pseudo continuous notice effect table is stored in the overall control ROM 70b. The continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 defined in the pseudo continuous notice effect table are configured so that the arrangement patterns of the continuous unit effects are different from each other. Then, the overall control CPU 65a, the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D1 corresponding to the number of pseudo fluctuation cycles (2-4) set in the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation patterns P6 to P8, P11 to P13 determined by the main control CPU 60a. -D24 is determined from the pseudo continuous notice effect table. In this way, by setting the pseudo continuous notice effect table defining the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24, the overall control CPU 65a selects specific pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 from the pseudo continuous notice effect table. Therefore, it is not necessary to determine the arrangement of continuous unit effects each time the pseudo continuous notice change patterns P6 to P8, P11 to P13 are determined, and the control burden on the overall control CPU 65a can be reduced.

  Next, specific contents of the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 defined in the pseudo continuous notice effect table will be described. In FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B, the cycle end suggestion effect A is “A”, the cycle end confirmation effect B is “B”, the cycle continuation suggestion effect C is “C”, and the cycle continuation confirmation effect D is “D”. The first pre-entry effect is indicated by “before entry” 1 and the second pre-entry effect is indicated by “before entry 2”. In the quasi-continuous notice effect table, the quasi-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 are divided into three pattern groups (pattern group A (configuration number: 2), pattern group B (configuration number: 3), Pattern group C (number of components: 4)). Further, the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 belonging to the same pattern group A to C are further classified according to the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A (in the embodiment, the number of executions is 1 to a maximum of 4 times). Classification). The quasi-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D4 of the pattern group A are roughly classified into two times of execution of the cycle end suggestion effect A, and further, the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is the same. The pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 and D3 including the first pre-entry effect and the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D2 and D4 including the second pre-entry effect are classified. The quasi-continuous notice effect patterns D5 to D12 of the pattern group B are broadly classified into three execution times of the cycle end suggestion effect A, and further, the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is the same. The pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D5, D7, D9, D10 including the first pre-entry effect and the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D6, D8, D11, D12 including the second pre-entry effect are classified. In addition, the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D9 and D10 including the first pre-entry effect and the number of execution times of the cycle end suggesting effect A are set to two different types of arrangement patterns of continuous unit effects. Similarly, the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D11 and D12 including the second pre-entry effect and the number of execution times of the cycle end suggesting effect A are set to two different types of arrangement patterns of continuous unit effects.

  The quasi-continuous notice effect patterns D13 to D24 of the pattern group C are broadly classified into four execution times of the cycle end suggestion effect A, and further, the execution times of the cycle end suggestion effect A are the same. Among them, pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D13, D15, D17, D18, D21, D22 including the first entry effect and pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D14, D16, D19, D20, D23 including the second entry effect. , D24. In addition, the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D17 and D18 including the first pre-entry effect and the number of executions of the cycle end suggesting effect A are three, and two types of arrangement patterns of continuous unit effects are further set. Similarly, the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D19 and D20 including the second pre-entry effect and the number of execution times of the cycle end suggesting effect A are set to two types having different arrangement patterns of continuous unit effects. The pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D21 and D22 including the first pre-entry effect and the number of executions of the cycle end suggesting effect A are four, and two types of arrangement patterns of continuous unit effects are further set. Similarly, the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D23 and D24 including the second pre-entry effect and the number of executions of the cycle end suggesting effect A are set to two types having different arrangement patterns of continuous unit effects.

  Next, an arrangement pattern of continuous unit effects set in the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 will be described. Each of the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 is executed at least twice as a continuous unit effect in a pseudo change cycle (at least one pseudo change cycle) excluding the pseudo change cycle in which the second pre-entry effect is executed. Is set to Further, in the pseudo-variation cycle excluding the pseudo-variation cycle in which the second pre-entry effect is executed, the cycle end confirmation effect B or continuous unit continuation effect A, C, D (cycle continuation confirmation effect D, cycle continuation suggestion effect C and It is set so that at least one of the cycle end suggestion effects A) is executed. The cycle end confirmation effect B is arranged at the end of the last pseudo fluctuation cycle in all the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns. That is, the cycle end confirmation effect B is for determining the end of the pseudo-variable cycle (pseudo continuous notice effect).

  The cycle end suggestion effect A is arranged immediately before the cycle end confirmation effect B, and the cycle end suggestion effect A is always executed before the cycle end determination effect B is executed. Therefore, when the cycle end suggestion effect A is executed, the cycle continuation effect D may be executed, and the cycle end indication effect A indicates the end of the pseudo-variable cycle (pseudo continuous notice effect). is there. However, the cycle end suggestion effect A is also arranged immediately before the cycle continuation suggestion effect D or the cycle continuation suggestion effect C. In other words, the cycle end suggestion effect A can be arranged immediately before all the continuous unit effects other than the cycle end suggestion effect A.

  The cycle continuation suggestion effect C can be continuously arranged up to four times. The cycle continuation suggestion effect C is arranged immediately before the continuous unit continuation effects A and C excluding the cycle end confirmation effect B. Therefore, the cycle end suggestion effect B is not executed immediately after the cycle continuation suggestion effect C is executed, and the cycle continuation suggestion effect C suggests the continuation of the pseudo-variable cycle (pseudo continuous notice effect). . The cycle continuation effect D is arranged so as to be continuously 3 or 6 times. In other words, the cycle continuation effect D is repeated at least for the variation time (after 12000 ms) of one pseudo variation cycle. The timing at which the first (fourth in the case of 6 consecutive) cycle continuation effect D starts is set to any of 6000 ms, 18000 ms, or 30000 ms from the start of the pseudo continuous notice effect. That is, the first cycle end confirmation effect D (the fourth time in the case of six consecutive times) is started at the timing when the variation time of the pseudo variation cycle has passed half. Therefore, when the cycle continuation effect D is continued three times, the second cycle continuation effect D is arranged so as to straddle two pseudo-variable cycles. In addition, when the cycle continuation effect D is continued six times, the second and fifth cycle continuation determination effects D are arranged across two consecutive pseudo-variation cycles (the pseudo continuous notice effect). (See Pattern D13). Therefore, when the cycle continuation effect D is executed, the cycle continuation effect D is continuously executed at least until the next pseudo variation cycle. (Continuation of production).

  Here, the cycle end suggestion effect A, the cycle end confirmation effect B, and the cycle continuation suggestion effect C described above are arranged at intervals of equally dividing the pseudo variation cycle into four, and these effects extend over two pseudo variation cycles. It will never be executed. In other words, by setting the fluctuation time when the continuous unit effects relating to these short effect times are repeated four times so as to coincide with the fluctuation time for one time of the pseudo fluctuation cycle, the continuous unit effects relating to the four short effect times are set. Can be contained within one pseudo-variation cycle. Therefore, it becomes easy to determine the arrangement pattern of the continuous unit effects related to the short effect time, and the design and modification of the continuous notice effect table are facilitated.

  Here, when the big hit determination result is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a is a pseudo in which the number of executions of the cycle end suggesting effect A is small in the number of constituents of the pseudo fluctuation cycle defined by the pseudo continuous notice big hit fluctuation patterns P11 to P13. The pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 are set so that the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is larger than the continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 65a, in the case where the big hit determination result is negative, is a pseudo continuous in which the number of executions of the cycle end suggesting effect A is large in the number of constituents of the pseudo variation cycle defined by the pseudo continuous notice variation pattern P6 to P8. The pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 are set so that the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is smaller than the notice effect patterns D1 to D24. Therefore, as the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A increases, the reliability (expectation) for the big hit increases. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B, for each pattern group A to C of the pseudo continuous notice effect table, the overall control CPU 65a determines a determination value (“0” to “0”). 100 total integers up to “99”) are assigned to each of the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24. This distribution differs depending on whether the big hit determination result is affirmative (big hit) or negative (if any). And the ease (determination probability) of determining pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D1-D24 is changed by changing the number of the judgment values allocated to each pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D1-D24.

  When the big hit determination result is affirmative, in the same pattern group A to C, the determination values of the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 in which the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is large are the number of execution times of the cycle end suggestion effect A. The number of the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 is more than the determination value. For example, in the case of pattern group A, while the total number of judgment values distributed to the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D3 and D4 for which the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is “2” is “70”, The total number of determination values distributed to the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 and D2 with the number of executions of the end suggestion effect A being “1” is “30”. On the contrary, when the big hit determination result is negative, the determination values of the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 in which the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is small in the same pattern group A to C are those of the cycle end suggestion effect A. It is set to be larger than the judgment values of the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 that are executed many times. For example, in the case of pattern group A, while the total number of judgment values distributed to the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 and D2 whose cycle end suggestion effect A is executed “one time” is “70”, The number of determination values distributed to the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D3 and D4 with the execution number of the end suggestion effect A being “2” is set to “30”.

  Further, in the embodiment, when the big hit determination result is affirmative, the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 in which the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect production D is small within the same classification as the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A. The pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 having a larger number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D are set more easily. On the other hand, when the jackpot determination result is negative, the cycle continuation effect A is executed in the same class, and the cycle continuation effect D is executed more frequently than the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24. The quasi-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 with a small number of executions of the effect D are set so as to be easily determined. Therefore, when the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is the same, the reliability (expected degree) to which the big hit game is given increases as the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D increases.

  Specifically, when the big hit determination result is affirmative, the determination values of the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 in which the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D is large in the classification in which the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is the same, The number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D is less than the determination values of the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24. For example, in the case of the pattern group C, when the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is “3”, it is distributed to the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D18 and D20 where the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D is “0”. The number of determination values is “7”, which is the smallest, and the number of determination values distributed to the quasi-continuous notice effect pattern D19 in which the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D is “3” is “9”. The determination value distributed to the quasi-continuous notice effect pattern D17 in which the number of executions of the continuation confirmation effect D is “6 times” is “11”, which is the largest. On the other hand, when the big hit determination result is negative, the determination values distributed to the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 in which the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D is small in the classification in which the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is the same. Further, the number of executions of the cycle continuation determination effect D is set to be larger than the determination value distributed to the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24. For example, in the same case as described above, the number of determination values distributed to the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D17 in which the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D is “6” is the smallest “7”. The number of determination values distributed to the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D19 with the number of executions “3 times” is “8”, and the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D18, D20 with the number of executions of the cycle continuation confirmation effect D being “0”. The number of determination values assigned to each is “9”, which is the largest.

(Regarding the control configuration related to the pseudo continuous notice effect)
Next, a control configuration unique to the pseudo continuous notice effect will be described. When the main control CPU 60a determines a pseudo continuous notice variation pattern as a variation pattern based on the winning of a pachinko ball at the first start winning opening 31a, a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern is output to the overall control CPU 65a. To do. Further, the main control CPU 60a is set to output a variable cycle number designation command for designating the number (2 to 4) of pseudo variable cycles to the overall control CPU 65a. When the fluctuation pattern designation command and the fluctuation cycle number designation command are input, the overall control CPU 65a executes a pseudo continuous effect pattern determination process as shown in FIG.

  In the pseudo continuous effect pattern determination process, first, the overall control CPU 65a acquires a pseudo continuous effect pattern determination random number for determining the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 from the pseudo continuous notice effect table, and controls the overall control RAM 65c. (Step C11). Next, it is determined whether or not the configuration number of the pseudo-variable cycle specified by the variable cycle number specifying command is “2” (step C12). If step C12 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a compares the acquired pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination random number and the determination value distributed to the pattern group A from the pattern group A of the pseudo-continuous notice effect table. Then, the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D4 are determined (step C13). On the other hand, if step C12 is negative, it is determined whether or not the configuration number of the pseudo-variable cycle specified by the variable cycle designation command is “3” (step C14). If step C14 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a compares the obtained pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination random number and the determination value distributed to the pattern group B from the pattern group B of the pseudo-continuous notice effect table. Then, pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D5 to D12 are determined (step C15). On the other hand, when step C14 is negative, the overall control CPU 65a determines the obtained pseudo-continuous effect pattern determination random number and the determination value distributed to the pattern group C from the pattern group C of the pseudo-continuous notice effect table. Are compared to determine the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D13 to D24 (step C16). When the overall control CPU 65a determines the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24, the overall control CPU 65a ends the pseudo continuous effect pattern determination process. As described above, the overall control CPU 65a determines the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 corresponding to the number of components of the pseudo variation cycle from the pseudo continuous notice effect table, and therefore, the overall control CPU 65a determines the arrangement pattern of the continuous unit effects. This is unnecessary, and the control burden on the overall control CPU 65a can be reduced.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 19, the overall control CPU 65a executes a pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination process for determining a decoration to be temporarily stopped with a pseudo continuous notice effect. In the quasi-continuous temporary stop symbol determination process, first, a quasi-continuous shift is determined (step D11), and the determined quasi-continuous shift is stored in the overall control RAM 65c. Next, it is determined whether or not the determined pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 include the first pre-entry effect (step D12). If step D12 is affirmative, the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination process is terminated. To do. On the other hand, when step D12 is negative, the pseudo continuous entry derived in the second pre-entry effect is determined (step D13), and the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination process is terminated. When the overall control CPU 65a finishes the pseudo continuous temporary stop symbol determination process, the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command for designating the determined pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 to the display control CPU 70a. Further, the overall control CPU 65a displays a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the pseudo-continuous gap determined in step D11 at the timing when each continuous unit effect specified by the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 ends. Output to. Further, when the determined pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 include the second pre-entry effect, the overall control CPU 65a designates the pseudo continuous entry determined in step D13 at the timing when the second pre-entry effect ends. A temporary stop symbol designation command is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  When an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a reads out the image data specified by the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 designated by the command from the display control ROM, and performs pseudo-continuous on the symbol display device 17. It is set to execute the notice effect. Here, the image data specified by the pseudo-continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 includes the pre-entry effect set in the effect patterns D1 to D24, the unit images 1 to 4 of the continuous unit effect, and the like. When the last continuous unit effect (cycle end confirmed effect B) is executed, the symbol display device 17 is caused to execute a normal reach effect and a super reach effect.

(About the execution mode of the pseudo continuous notice effect)
Next, the execution mode of the pseudo continuous notice effect executed by the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described. For example, triggered by winning at the first start winning opening 31a, the main control CPU 60a determines the pseudo two-time variation pattern P6 as the variation pattern, and the overall control CPU 65a determines the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D1 from the pseudo continuous notice effect table. Suppose you decide. When the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern specifying command for specifying the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D1, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to execute the pseudo continuous notice effect. Here, since the first pre-entry effect is set as the pre-entry effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D1, as shown in FIG. 20, the display control CPU 70a simultaneously displays the pseudo continuous notification image as the background image. Is displayed on the symbol display device 17 to notify that the pseudo continuous notice effect is executed. Thereby, the player can recognize that the pseudo continuous notice effect has been started.

  After 6000 ms from the start of change, the display control CPU 70a ends the first pre-entry effect and executes the cycle continuation effect D, which is the first continuous unit effect. That is, the unit image 2 (for example, an image in which the character accelerates at a high speed) is displayed as the background image, and the decorative drawing is variably displayed in the small display area 17 b of the symbol display device 17. Then, after 4000 ms from the start of the cycle continuation effect D (that is, 10000 ms after the start of variation), the overall control CPU 65a gives a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the pseudo-continuous shift determined in step D11 to the display control CPU 70a. The display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to temporarily stop the pseudo-continuous gap ("221"). Next, the display control CPU 70a executes the cycle continuation effect D again and changes the decoration in the small display area 17b of the symbol display device 17 again. The second cycle continuation effect D is started within the first pseudo fluctuation cycle. Then, after 4000 ms from the start of the second cycle continuation effect D, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command to the overall control CPU 65a to temporarily stop the pseudo-continuity gap again. At this time, the second cycle continuation effect D ends within the second pseudo fluctuation cycle. Next, the third cycle continuation effect D is executed, and the false break is temporarily stopped 4000 ms after the start of the effect D. In this way, since the cycle continuation determination effect D is executed across two pseudo-variation cycles, the continuation of the next pseudo-variation cycle is determined when the cycle continuation determination effect D is executed. Become. Therefore, the player can recognize that the next pseudo variation cycle (pseudo continuous notice effect) continues when the first cycle continuation effect D is executed.

  When the third cycle continuation effect D is completed, the cycle end suggestion effect A is then executed. That is, the display control CPU 70a switches to the unit image 3 (for example, an image that a character deceives) and displays the decorative drawing in the small display area 17b. Then, after 3000 ms from the start of the cycle end suggestion effect A, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to display the pseudo-continuity gap. When the cycle end suggestion effect A ends, the cycle end confirmation effect B is executed next. That is, the display control CPU 70a switches the background image to the unit image 1 (for example, an image in which a character is attacked by an enemy) and displays the decorative drawing in the small display area 17b. Then, 3000 ms after the start of the cycle end confirmation effect B, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the reach symbol to the display control CPU 70a. When the temporary stop symbol designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to temporarily stop the reach symbol, and the pseudo continuous notice effect ends. Thus, when the cycle end confirmation effect B is executed, the end of the pseudo continuous notice effect is confirmed, so that the player recognizes the end of the pseudo continuous notice effect when the cycle end confirmation effect B is executed. can do. In addition, since the reach symbol is temporarily stopped at the end of the cycle end finalized effect B, the quasi-continuous notice effect is shifted to the normal reach effect without a sense of incongruity, and the interest of the game is not impaired.

  In this way, when the pseudo-continuous notice effect is executed, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in a short cycle with a good tempo, so even though the design change effect is one time, the symbol change effect is also executed multiple times. It is possible to give the player an impression as if it has been played, and to enhance the interest of the game. Moreover, since the pseudo-continuous notice effect is executed at least once in the pseudo-variation cycle, the player is difficult to predict how many times the continuous unit effect is executed, It is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the pseudo continuous notice effect. When the pseudo continuous notice effect ends, the display control CPU 70a executes the normal reach effect, and then develops it into a super reach effect. Then, when the main control CPU 60a outputs the all symbols stop command, the overall control CPU 65a confirms and stops the symbols that are not the final stop symbols.

  Next, a case will be described in which the pseudo two-time deviation variation pattern P6 is determined as the variation pattern, and the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D4 is determined as the effect pattern. Since the second pre-entry effect is set as the pre-entry effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D4, the display control CPU 70a displays the symbol variation effect on the symbol display device 17 under the normal background. As shown in FIG. 16, after 10,000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the overall control CPU 65a decorates the left and right rows 26a and 26c constituting the pseudo-continuous entry (for example, “2 * 1”) determined in Step D13 (“2 ”,“ 1 ”) is output to the display control CPU 70 a, and the display control CPU 70 a displays the decoration (“ 2 ”,“ 1 ”) designated in the symbol display device 17 in the left and right columns 26 a. , 26c is temporarily stopped. Further, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the pseudo continuous entry symbol (“★”) 12000 ms after the start of the fluctuation, and the display control CPU 70a displays the pseudo continuous entry symbol (“★” in the middle row 26b. )) Is temporarily stopped to derive a pseudo continuous entry point. In this way, in the second pre-entry effect, the pseudo-continuous entry point is displayed, so that the player can recognize that the pseudo continuous notice effect has been started. When the second pre-entry effect ends, the display control CPU 70a causes the first continuous unit effect (cycle end suggesting effect A) to be executed. When the cycle end suggestion effect A ends, the cycle continuation suggestion effect C is executed next. The display control CPU 70a switches the background image to the unit image 4 (for example, an image in which the character accelerates at a low speed) and displays the decorative drawing in the small display area 17b. Then, after 3000 ms from the start of the cycle continuation suggestion effect C, the discontinuity is temporarily stopped, and the cycle continuation suggestion effect C ends.

  Next, the display control CPU 70a causes the second cycle end suggestion effect A to be executed. Here, as described above, when the number of components of the pseudo-variable cycle is the same, as the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A increases, the reliability of the big hit increases and the execution of the cycle end suggestion effect A is performed. As the number of times decreases, the reliability to the big hit is set to be lower. Therefore, when the cycle end suggestion effect A is executed for the second time, compared to the case of the pseudo continuous notice effect based on the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D1 (the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A is “1”), The reliability to the big hit in the pseudo continuous notice effect is increased. That is, as the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A increases, the player's sense of expectation for the big hit increases and the interest of the game is enhanced. When the cycle end suggestion effect A ends, the cycle end confirmation effect B is executed, and the pseudo continuous notice effect ends. Then, after the normal reach effect and the super reach effect are executed, finally a dissipated symbol is derived.

  Next, a case will be described in which a pseudo four-time deviation variation pattern P8 is determined as the variation pattern, and a pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D18 is determined as the effect pattern. Note that the execution mode of the pre-entry effect and each continuous unit effect is the same as described above, and a description thereof will be omitted. When the quasi-continuous notice effect pattern is started, the cycle continuation suggestion effect C is continuously executed three times after the first pre-entry effect is executed. Next, after the cycle end suggestion effect A is executed, the cycle continuation suggestion effect C is executed four times in succession. Then, after the second cycle end suggestion effect A is executed, the cycle continuation suggestion effect C is executed three more times in succession. Next, after the third cycle end suggestion effect A is executed, the cycle end confirmation effect B is executed, and the pseudo continuous notice effect ends. That is, in the pseudo continuous notice effect based on the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D18, the cycle end suggesting effect A is executed three times. In the pseudo continuous notice effect based on the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D18, the cycle continuation confirmation effect D is not executed.

  In this way, when the pseudo four-time deviation variation pattern P8 is determined, many continuous unit effects are also executed according to the number of pseudo variation patterns. In the embodiment, as the number of pseudo-variable cycles increases, the reliability to the big hit increases, and as the number of pseudo-variable cycles decreases, the reliability to the big hit decreases. (See FIG. 14). Therefore, when a lot of continuous unit effects are executed in this way, the player's sense of expectation for the big hit is increased and the interest of the game is improved. When the quasi-continuous notice effect is finished, a normal reach effect and a super reach effect are then executed, and finally the off symbol is confirmed and stopped.

  Next, a case will be described in which the pseudo 4-hit variation pattern P13 is determined as the variation pattern and the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern D17 is determined as the effect pattern. When the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern is started, the cycle continuation effect D is continuously executed three times through the first pre-entry effect. Next, after the cycle end suggestion effect A is executed, the cycle continuation suggestion effect C is executed twice in succession. Then, after the second cycle end suggesting effect A is executed, the cycle continuation determining effect D is executed three times continuously. Next, after the third cycle end suggestion effect A is executed, the cycle end confirmation effect B is executed, and the pseudo continuous notice effect ends. That is, in the pseudo continuous notice effect based on the pseudo continuous notice effect D17, the cycle end suggesting effect A is executed three times, and the cycle continuation confirmed effect D is executed six times in total. In the embodiment, when the number of pseudo-variable cycles is the same and the number of executions of the cycle end suggesting effect A is the same, the reliability of the big hit increases as the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D increases. In addition, the reliability of the big hit is set to decrease as the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D decreases. Therefore, in the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D17 and D18 belonging to the same pattern group C and having the same number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect A (three times), the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern having a large number of executions of the cycle continuation confirmed effect D. D17 is more reliable for big hits. That is, the player becomes interested in the number of executions of the cycle continuation effect D, and the interest of the pseudo continuous notice effect is further improved.

(About pseudo-shortening production)
Next, the pseudo shortening off effect will be described. In the embodiment, when the deviation pattern P1, the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation patterns P6 to P8, P11 to P13 or the super reach fluctuation patterns P5 and P10 are determined as the fluctuation patterns, the overall control CPU 65a performs the pseudo shortening deviation effect. It is set to determine whether or not to execute. That is, the overall control CPU 65a functions as a false deviation effect determination unit that determines whether or not to perform a false shortening effect. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, when the reach determination result is negative (usually deviation variation pattern P1) and when the reach determination result is affirmative (pseudo continuous advance notice deviation variation patterns P6 to P8 or super reach deviation variation pattern P5. In any case, the pseudo-shortening effect can be executed. Further, in the embodiment, when the big hit determination result is negative (usually, the deviation variation pattern P1, the pseudo continuous notice deviation variation patterns P6 to P8 or the super reach deviation variation pattern P5), and when the big hit determination result is affirmative (super reach big hit variation In any case of the pattern P10 and the pseudo continuous notice big hit variation patterns P11 to P13), the pseudo shortening off effect can be executed.

  The pseudo-shortening effect is an effect similar to the shortening effect or the super-shortening effect specified by the shortening error pattern P2 or the super-shortening error pattern P3 (specific deviation error pattern whose variation time is shorter than the fluctuation pattern). The reach effect is executed after the execution. In other words, the pseudo-shortening effect is that the reach design is derived after the decorative drawing of the normal image is variably displayed. The pseudo-shortening effect is a first pseudo-shortening effect in which the effect from the start of change to the reach effect is similar to the shortening effect (variation time 6300 ms) and a second that is similar to the super-shortening effect (variation time 3200 ms). Two types of pseudo-shortening effects are set. Then, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the pseudo shortening misalignment effect and determines which of the first pseudo shortening misalignment effect or the second pseudo shortening misalignment effect is to be executed. In the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the pseudo-shortening effect is set to 12000 ms.

  Here, the probability that the overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the pseudo-shortening effect (the probability that the determination result of the pseudo-offset effect determination means is affirmative) is stored in the main control RAM 60c (first hold storage means). It changes based on the number of stored special figure start hold information. That is, the probability that the pseudo-shortening effect is executed is similar to the probability that the shortening effect and the super-shortening effect are executed (that is, the probability that the shortening variation pattern P2 and the super-shortening variation pattern P3 are determined). Depends on the number of stored first special figure start hold information. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the distribution of the determination values (a total of 251 integers from “0” to “250”) for determining whether or not to execute the pseudo shortening effect is performed. The overall control CPU 65a changes the probability that the pseudo-shortening effect is executed by changing the number depending on the number of stored figure start hold information. In the embodiment, compared with the case where the number of stored first special figure start hold information is less than “3” (predetermined number), the pseudo shortening off-stage effect is more easily executed when the number of stored is “3” or more. Yes. That is, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “1 to 2”, there are “31” judgment values assigned to the pseudo shortening misalignment effect (only the first pseudo shortening misalignment effect). On the other hand, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “3”, the total number of judgment values distributed to the first and second pseudo shortening effects is “151”, and the first special figure start hold is on hold. When the number of stored information is “4”, the total number of determination values distributed to the first and second pseudo-shortening effects is set to “130”.

  In addition, the relationship between the probability that the first pseudo shortening misalignment effect is determined and the probability that the second pseudo shortening misalignment effect is determined is that the probability that the shortening misalignment variation pattern P2 is determined and the super shortening misalignment variation pattern P3 are determined. Corresponds to the relationship with the probability. That is, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “3”, the overall control CPU 65a is set to easily determine the first pseudo-shortening effect (the first pseudo-shortening is assigned to the misalignment effect). The determination value is “100”, whereas the determination value allocated to the second pseudo-shortening effect is “51”). On the other hand, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “4”, the overall control CPU 65a is set to easily determine the second pseudo-shortening effect (the second pseudo-shortening is distributed to the misleading effect). The determination value assigned to the first pseudo-shortening effect is set to “30” while the determination value is “100”). Then, when the number of stored first special figure start hold information in which the probability of determining the super shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is 0 is “1-2”, the probability that the second pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed is also zero. It is set (the judgment value distributed to the second pseudo-shortening effect is “0”).

(Normally, pseudo shortening deviation effect based on deviation variation pattern P1)
Next, a description will be given of a case where a pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed in a symbol fluctuation effect based on the deviation fluctuation pattern P1. As described above, in the normal deviation effect specified by the deviation fluctuation pattern P1, the outlier symbol is confirmed and stopped without executing the reach effect (see FIG. 10). On the other hand, when a pseudo-shortage effect is executed in a normal deviation effect, a normal reach effect is executed after an effect similar to the reduction-offset effect and the pseudo-shortage effect is executed, and finally a deviation symbol is derived. It has become. That is, when execution of the pseudo shortening deviation effect is determined, the normal reach effect is forcibly executed in the normal deviation variation pattern P1 under the control of the overall control CPU 65a. In addition, when the pseudo continuous notice effect is normally executed in the shift variation pattern P1, the timing at which the decorative drawings in the left and right rows 26a and 26c are temporarily stopped is advanced as compared with the case where the pseudo continuous notice effect is not executed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 11, normally, when the first pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed based on the deviation fluctuation pattern P1, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped 6000 ms after the fluctuation starts, and the normal reach effect is executed. Then, after 12,000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the off symbol is fixed and stopped. That is, in the first pseudo-shortening effect, it is determined that the decorative drawing (non-reach symbol) temporarily stops in the left and right rows 26a and 26c (the reach effect is not executed) in the shortening effect specified by the shortening deviation variation pattern P2. Reach display is displayed at the timing when it becomes possible. Normally, when the second pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed based on the deviation fluctuation pattern P1, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped after 2800 ms from the start of the fluctuation, and the normal reach effect is executed. Then, after 12,000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the off symbol is fixed and stopped. That is, in the second pseudo shortening misalignment effect, in the ultra shortening misalignment effect specified by the ultra shortening misalignment variation pattern P3, the timing at which the decorative drawings (non-reach symbols) temporarily stop in the left and right rows 26a and 26c (that is, the reach effect is executed). Reach display is displayed at the timing when it is possible to determine that the operation is not performed.

(Regarding the pseudo-shortening effect based on the pseudo-continuous notice fluctuation pattern)
Next, a description will be given of a case where a pseudo shortening off effect is executed in the symbol variation effect based on the pseudo continuous notice variation patterns P6 to P8 and P11 to P13. In the case where the pseudo shortening off effect is executed based on the pseudo continuous notice change patterns P6 to P8, P11 to P13, the pseudo shortening off effect is executed in the first pseudo change cycle of the pseudo continuous notice effect. Here, since the fluctuating time of the pseudo-shortening effect is set to 12000 ms, in the embodiment, the pseudo-shortening effect is set to be executed in the second pre-entry effect having a fluctuating time of 12000 ms. That is, when execution of the pseudo-shortening effect is determined based on the pseudo continuous notice variation patterns P6 to P8 and P11 to P13, the overall control CPU 65a includes the second pre-entry effect from the pseudo continuous notice effect table. It is set to determine the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24. Then, in the case of performing the pseudo-shortening effect in the second pre-entry effect, the timing for temporarily stopping the decorative drawings in the left and right rows 26a and 26c is advanced.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 22, in the second pre-entry effect, when the first pseudo-shortening effect is executed, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped after 6000 ms from the start of the change, and the normal reach effect is executed. Then, after 12000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the pseudo continuous entry symbol is temporarily stopped in the middle row 26b, and a pseudo continuous entry point is derived, and a pseudo continuous notice effect (continuous unit effect) is executed. That is, when the first pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed in the pseudo continuous notice variation pattern, the decorative drawings (non-reach symbols) are temporarily stopped in the left and right rows 26a and 26c by the shortening deviation effect specified by the shortening deviation variation pattern P2. Reach symbols will be displayed at the timing. It should be noted that the pseudo-continuous entry when executing the pseudo-shortening effect includes the reach symbol derived by the pseudo-shortening effect, for example, “2 * 2” (that is, the left and right rows 26a and 26c are the same). Decorative drawing) It will be a combination of symbols.

  In the second pre-entry effect, when the second pseudo-shortening effect is executed, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped after 2800 ms from the start of the fluctuation, and the normal reach effect is executed. Then, 12,000 ms after the start of fluctuation, the pseudo continuous entry symbol temporarily stops in the middle row 26b, and a pseudo continuous notice effect (continuous unit effect) is executed. That is, when the second pseudo shortening misalignment effect is executed in the pseudo continuous notice variation pattern, the decorative drawings (non-reach symbols) are temporarily stopped in the left and right rows 26a and 26c by the ultra shortening misalignment effect specified by the ultra shortening misalignment variation pattern P3. Reach symbols will be displayed at the timing. Even in this case, the left and right rows 26a and 26c have the same decorative drawing of the pseudo continuous entry derived in the pre-entry effect.

(Regarding the pseudo-shortening effect based on the super reach variation pattern)
Next, a description will be given of a case where a pseudo shortening off effect is executed in the symbol change effect specified by the super reach change patterns P5 and P10. The effects specified by the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10 include the normal reach effect. Therefore, when executing the pseudo shortening off effect based on the super reach change patterns P5 and P10, the left and right rows 26a and 26c are displayed. The timing for temporarily stopping the decorative drawing (that is, the timing for displaying the reach symbol) is changed. As shown in FIG. 23, when the first pseudo-shortening effect is executed in the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped after 6000 ms from the start of the variation, and the normal reach effect is executed. Then, a super reach effect is executed after 12000 ms from the start of fluctuation. In other words, when the first pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed in the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10, the left and right rows 26a and 26c are decorated (non-reach symbols) with the shortening deviation effect specified by the shortening deviation variation pattern P2. Reach symbols will be displayed at the timing of temporary stop. In the case of the super reach deviation variation pattern P5, as a result of the super reach production, the deviation symbol is finally determined and stopped. In the case of the super reach big hit variation pattern P10, as a result of the super reach production, Eventually, the big hit symbol is fixed and stopped.

  In the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10, when the second pseudo-shortening effect is executed, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped 2800 ms after the start of the change, and the normal reach effect is executed. Then, a super reach effect is executed after 12000 ms from the start of fluctuation. That is, when the second pseudo shortening misalignment effect is executed in the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10, the decorations (non-reach patterns) are displayed in the left and right rows 26a and 26c with the super shortening misalignment effect specified by the ultra shortening misalignment variation pattern P3. Reach symbols are displayed at the timing of temporary stop. In the case of the super reach deviation variation pattern P5, as a result of the super reach production, the deviation symbol is finally determined and stopped. In the case of the super reach big hit variation pattern P10, as a result of the super reach production, Eventually, the big hit symbol is fixed and stopped.

(Regarding the control structure related to pseudo-shortening effect)
Next, a control configuration unique to the pseudo-shortening effect will be described. The pseudo shortening deviation effect is normally executed when the main control CPU 60a determines any one of the deviation fluctuation pattern P1, the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation patterns P6 to P8, P11 to P13, and the super reach fluctuation patterns P5 and P10 as the fluctuation pattern. It can be done. In the following description, the variation patterns in which the pseudo shortening misalignment effect can be executed may be collectively referred to as a pseudo shortening misalignment variation pattern. When the main control CPU 60a determines the pseudo shortening deviation variation pattern, it outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation pattern to the overall control CPU 65a.

  When a variation pattern designation command for designating a pseudo shortening deviation variation pattern is input, the overall control CPU 65a first executes a pseudo shortening deviation production determination process (FIG. 24). In the pseudo-shortening effect determination process, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the pseudo-shortening effect can be executed and the type of pseudo-shortening effect (first pseudo-shortening effect or second pseudo-shortening effect). A determination random number is acquired (step E11), and the acquired pseudo shortening determination random number is stored in the overall control RAM 65c. Then, the overall control CPU 65a compares the obtained pseudo-shortening determination random number and the determination value (see FIG. 21) assigned to each pseudo-shortening effect to determine whether or not to execute the pseudo-shortening effect. The type of pseudo shortening off effect is determined (step E12). When it is determined not to execute the pseudo shortening deviation effect (No in Step E13), the pseudo shortening deviation effect determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined to execute the pseudo shortening deviation effect (Yes in step E13), it is determined whether or not the type of the determined pseudo shortening deviation effect is the first pseudo shortening deviation effect (step E14). If step E14 is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a sets “1” meaning execution to the first pseudo-shortage failure effect flag set in the overall control RAM 65c (step E15), and the pseudo-shortage failure effect determination process. Exit. On the other hand, if step E14 is negative, the overall control CPU 65a sets “1” meaning execution to the second pseudo shortening misalignment effect flag set in the overall control RAM 65c (step E16), and the pseudo shortening misalignment effect determining process. Exit.

  Next, the overall control CPU 65a executes a pseudo shortening misalignment temporary stop symbol determination process for determining a symbol to be temporarily stopped by the pseudo shortening misalignment effect (FIG. 25). First, it is determined whether or not the big hit determination is affirmative (step F11). If step F11 is affirmative, the variation pattern designated by the inputted variation pattern designation command is a pseudo continuous notice variation pattern P6˜. It is determined whether or not P8, P11 to P13 (step F12). On the other hand, when step F11 is negative, it is determined whether reach determination is affirmative (step F13). If step F13 is positive, the process proceeds to step F12. When step F12 is negative (when the pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed with the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10), the reach symbol derived by the pseudo shortening deviation effect is determined (step F15), and the pseudo shortening deviation temporary stop symbol determination is performed. The process ends. When step F12 is affirmative (when the pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed in the pseudo continuous notice variation patterns P6 to P8, P11 to P13), the reach symbol derived by the pseudo shortening deviation effect is determined (step F14). When the reach symbol is determined in step F14, the symbol combination composed of the reach symbol and the pseudo continuous entry symbol determined in step F14 is determined as a pseudo continuous entry point derived by the second pre-entry effect (step F16). The temporary stop symbol determination process is terminated. On the other hand, if step F13 is negative (usually when a pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed with the deviation variation pattern P1), a reach symbol derived by the pseudo shortening deviation effect is determined (step F17). Then, the symbol combination including the reach symbol determined in step F17 is determined as a loss symbol (step F18), and the pseudo shortening error temporary stop symbol determination process is terminated.

  When the pseudo shortening misplacement temporary stop symbol determination process ends, the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command to the display control CPU 70a to execute a symbol variation effect with a pseudo shortening misalignment effect. Then, the overall control CPU 65a is determined in step F17 at a predetermined timing (6000 ms after the start of variation in the case of the first pseudo-shortening effect, and 2800 ms after the start of variation in the case of the second pseudo-shortening effect). The temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the reach symbol is output to the display control CPU 70a. Further, in the case of executing the pseudo-shortening effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a temporarily stops designating the pseudo continuous entry determined in step F16 at the timing when the second pre-entry effect is finished. The symbol designating command is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  When the effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to execute a symbol variation effect accompanied with a pseudo-shortening effect. In other words, the display control CPU 70a starts the decorative display of the decorative drawing with the background image as the normal background, and executes the pseudo-shortening effect. When a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating a reach symbol is input from the overall control CPU 65a, the display control CPU 70a is set to temporarily stop the reach symbol designated by the temporary stop symbol designating command and execute the normal reach effect. The In the pseudo continuous notice effect, when a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating a pseudo continuous entry point is input, the display control CPU 70a temporarily stops the pseudo continuous entry point including the reach symbol. Then, the display control CPU 70a executes the normal reach effect with the pseudo-shortening effect, and then executes the effect based on the effect pattern designated by the effect pattern designation command. That is, when a deviation effect pattern is normally designated, the display control CPU 70a determines and stops the off-symbol design as a result of the normal reach effect and ends the symbol variation effect. When the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24 are designated, the pseudo continuous notice effect (continuous unit effect) is started after temporarily stopping the pseudo continuous entry. Then, after executing the pseudo continuous notice effect specified by the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns D1 to D24, the normal reach effect and the super reach effect are executed. When the super reach effect pattern is designated, the display control CPU 70a is set to execute the super reach effect after executing the normal reach effect.

(About the execution mode of pseudo shortening production)
Next, in the pachinko machine 10 which concerns on an Example, the execution aspect in the case of performing a pseudo-shortening effect is demonstrated. First, a description will be given of the case where the first pseudo shortening misalignment effect is executed in the normal misalignment effect specified by the misalignment variation pattern P1 (when the first pseudo shortening misalignment flag in step E15 is set to “1”). . As shown in FIG. 11, when the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command for designating a normal deviation effect pattern to the display control CPU 70a, the display control CPU 70a displays the normal background as a background image on the symbol display device 17 and decorates it. Fluctuate the figure. The overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the reach symbol determined in step F17 to the display control CPU 70a after 6000 ms from the start of fluctuation. That is, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command to the display control CPU 70a at the same timing as the shortened off effect. When the temporary stop symbol designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to temporarily stop the reach symbol and execute the normal reach effect. As described above, when the pseudo shortening misalignment effect is executed based on the misalignment variation pattern P1, normally, the reach effect (normal reach effect) that is not normally included in the misalignment variation pattern P1 is forcibly used in the pseudo shortening misalignment effect. Executed. Then, after 12000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to confirm and stop the missed symbol determined in step F18. As described above, in the pseudo-shortening effect, the reach display is displayed at a timing at which it is possible to determine that the reach effect is not executed in the shortening effect. Therefore, the player has an illusion that the shortened and outright effect has been executed, and the reach effect is suddenly executed at the timing when the outlier symbol is expected to be derived, which can surprise the player. Further, since the player becomes interested in the off-shortening effect, the player can be prevented from getting bored with the game.

  In addition, when executing the second pseudo-shortening effect (when the second pseudo-shortening flag is set to “1” in step E16), the overall control CPU 65a displays the reach symbol 2800ms after the start of the change. A temporary stop symbol designation command to be designated is output to the display control CPU 70a. That is, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the reach symbol determined in step F17 to the display control CPU 70a at the same timing as the super-shortening effect. When the temporary stop symbol designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to temporarily stop the reach symbol and execute the normal reach effect. Then, similarly to the first pseudo-shortening effect, the lost symbol determined in step F18 is determined and stopped after 12000 ms from the start of the fluctuation. As described above, when the second pseudo-shortening effect is executed, the reach display is displayed at a timing at which it is possible to determine that the reach effect is not executed in the super-shortening effect. Therefore, the player can be surprised because the reach effect is suddenly executed at the timing when the player feels that the super-shortened out effect has been executed and the out-of-line symbol is derived.

  Here, if the specification that can be executed only when the reach determination is affirmative (35/239 in the embodiment), the appearance rate of the false shortening effect is reduced, and the player loses the false shortening. There is almost no opportunity to encounter the production. Therefore, in the embodiment, since the specification is such that the pseudo shortening misalignment effect can be executed even in the normal misalignment variation pattern P1 in which the reach determination is negative, the appearance rate of the pseudo shortening misalignment effect becomes large, and the player deviates from the pseudo shortening. Opportunities to encounter the production are increasing.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where a pseudo shortening off effect is executed in the pseudo continuous notice effect. When the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command for designating a pseudo-continuous notice effect pattern, the display control CPU 70a displays the decorative drawing in a variably displayed manner with the background image as a normal background, and starts the second pre-entry effect. Let As shown in FIG. 22, in the case where the first pseudo-shortening effect is executed in the second pre-entry effect (the first pseudo-shortening effect flag is set to 1 in step E15), the overall control is performed 6000 ms after the start of the change. The CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the reach symbol determined in step F14 to the display control CPU 70a. On the other hand, when executing the second pseudo-shortening effect, the overall control CPU 65a gives a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the reach symbol determined by the overall control CPU 65a in step F14 to the display control CPU 70a after 2800 ms from the start of the change. Output. Then, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to temporarily stop the reach symbol and execute the normal reach effect. In other words, even when the pseudo-shortening effect is executed in the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the reach symbol is displayed at the same timing as when it is possible to determine that the reach display is not displayed in the shortening or super-shortening effect.

  Next, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating a pseudo continuous entry symbol to the middle row 26b to the display control CPU 70a after 12000 ms from the start of fluctuation. In response to this, the display control CPU 70a temporarily stops the pseudo continuous entry symbol in the middle row 26b to derive the pseudo continuous entry. At this time, the pseudo continuous entry is a symbol combination (for example, “2 * 2”) in which the decorative drawings of the left and right rows 26a and 26c determined in step F16 are the same and the pseudo continuous entry symbols are arranged in the middle row 26b. Then, the second pre-entry effect is finished and the first continuous unit effect is executed. In this way, even when the pseudo-shortening effect is executed in the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the normal reach effect is executed after the effect similar to the shortening effect or the super-shortening effect is executed, as described above. Can be surprised. Also, since the pseudo-shortening effect is executed in the second pre-entry effect with the same variation time as the pseudo-shortening effect, the continuous unit effect is executed without interruption after the pseudo-shortening effect, and there is no sense of incongruity. Can provide. Moreover, by executing the pseudo-continuous notice effect after executing the pseudo-shortening effect, it is possible to provide a variety of effects that are rich in change, and to improve the interest of the game.

  Next, a case where the pseudo continuous notice effect is executed based on the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10 will be described. When the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command, the display control CPU 70a displays the decorative drawing in a variably manner with the background image as a normal background, and starts the symbol variation effect. As shown in FIG. 23, when executing the first pseudo-shortening effect, the temporary control symbol designating command for designating the reach symbol determined by the overall control CPU 65a in step F15 is displayed to the display control CPU 70a 6000ms after the start of the fluctuation. Output. On the other hand, when executing the second pseudo-shortening effect, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the reach symbol determined in step F15 to the display control CPU 70a after 2800 ms from the start of variation. Then, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to temporarily stop the reach symbol and execute the normal reach effect. That is, even when the pseudo-shortening off effect is executed based on the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10, the reach design is performed at the same timing as when it is possible to determine that no reach display is displayed in the shorting off or super-shortening off effect. Is displayed.

  Then, the display control CPU 70a executes the super reach effect 12000ms after the start of variation according to the effect pattern, and the final symbol is derived as a result of the super reach effect. As described above, even if the pseudo-reduced off-stage effect is executed in the super reach variation patterns P5 and P10, the normal reach effect is executed after the effect similar to the reduced off-line effect or the ultra-short off-line effect is executed. Can give surprises. In addition, since the super reach effect is executed after the pseudo-shortening effect is executed, a variety of effects with various changes can be provided, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  Here, as described above, the probability that the short-running shortening effect and the super-shortening slipping effect with a short variation time are executed increases as the number of first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. It was set. The probability that the overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the pseudo-shortening effect is also set to increase as the number of first special figure start hold information stored in the first hold storage means increases. Therefore, since the pseudo shortening off effect is executed in a natural manner according to the number of stored first special figure start hold information, there is no sense of incongruity when the pseudo shortening off effect is executed, and the pseudo shortening off effect is executed. It may be difficult for the player to recognize that this has been done. In particular, in the case where the number of stored first special figure start hold information is “3” or “4” where the number of stored information is large, the abbreviated off-stage effect or the super-short-out off stage effect is executed and the game is likely to become monotonous. By facilitating the execution of the off-shortening effect, it is possible to suppress the player's interest in the game from diminishing. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the big hit determination is affirmative, the pseudo shortening off effect can be executed, so that the player can expect a big hit when the pseudo shortening off effect is executed. It is possible to further enhance the interest of pseudo-shortening production.

(Specifications based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode)
Next, a description will be given of specifications based on winning in the second starting port in the normal mode (non-probability change state and no change state) of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment. In addition, in the following description, the same part as the specification based on the 1st start winning opening 31a in normal mode is attached | subjected, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. In the symbol variation effect triggered by winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode, the pseudo shortening off effect can be executed only when the big hit determination result is affirmative. Note that the pseudo continuous notice effect is not executed in the symbol variation effect based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b. FIG. 26 shows a variation pattern that can be determined in response to winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode.

  As a variation pattern for a deviation effect that can be determined based on winning at the second start winning opening 31b, a variation variation pattern P1 and specific variation variation patterns P2, P3 (shortened deviation variation pattern P2 and super shortened variation variation pattern P3) are usually used. ) Is set. Here, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 based on the winning at the second start opening in the normal mode is the first special figure start suspension information at the start of the symbol variation effect. It is set so as to change according to the total number of memories and the number of memories of the second special figure start hold information (referred to as the total number of hold information).

  That is, as shown in FIG. 27, the distribution of determination values (a total of 251 different integers from “0” to “250”) for determining the deviation fluctuation pattern P1 and the specific deviation fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 is normally suspended. By changing according to the total number of information, the main control CPU 60a changes the probability of determining the off-specific fluctuation patterns P2 and P3. In the embodiment, the probability of determining the specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 is set to be higher when the total number of reserved information is “6” or more than when the total number of reserved information is less than “6”. ing. That is, when the total number of pending information is “1 to 5”, there are “71” judgment values assigned to the specific deviation variation patterns P2 and P3 (only the shortened deviation variation pattern P2), whereas the total number of pending information Is “6-7”, the total number of determination values distributed to the shortening deviation variation pattern P2 and the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is “220”, and the total number of pending information is “8”, the shortening deviation variation pattern P2 In addition, the total number of determination values assigned to the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is set to “239”.

  Further, when the total number of pending information is “6” to “7”, the main control CPU 60a is set to determine the shortening deviation variation pattern P2 most easily (the determination value assigned to the shortening deviation variation pattern P2). Is set to “180” with the most). In the case where the total number of pending information is “8”, the main control CPU 60a is set to determine the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 most easily (the determination value assigned to the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is the most). (Set to “202”). When the total number of pending information is “1” to “5”, the main control CPU 60a is set not to determine the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 (the determination value assigned to the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3). Is "0").

  Here, the variation pattern for the outlier reach effect is not set in the variation pattern triggered by winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode. This is because, as described above, in the performance execution determination (reach determination) that is executed in response to winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode, the performance execution determination value is set to zero. It is. That is, when the winning at the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode is triggered, the determination result of the effect execution determination is not affirmative, and the outlier reach effect is not executed. No fluctuation pattern is set.

  As the variation pattern for the big hit effect based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode, the sudden hit variation pattern P14 for the reachless big hit effect and the normal reach big hit variation pattern P9 for the reach with the big hit effect And are set. That is, as the variation pattern for deriving the big hit game, either the sudden change variation pattern P14 or the normal reach big hit variation pattern P9 is determined. The symbol variation effect specified by the sudden change pattern P14 (hereinafter referred to as a sudden change effect) is an effect similar to the normal shift effect specified by the normal shift variation pattern P1 and is once derived from a shift symbol. An effect that causes the player to recognize the jackpot is suddenly executed. That is, as shown in FIG. 28, the sudden hit effect is composed of a common effect unit that is similar to the normal shift effect and a sudden effect unit that makes the player recognize the big hit. In the common effect section, the decorative drawing is displayed in a variegated manner under a normal background, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left column 26a after 8500 ms from the start of the change, and a decorative drawing different from the left row 26a is displayed in the right column after 10,000 ms from the start of the change. The decorative drawing is temporarily stopped at 26c, and further, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped at a combination that becomes a shifted symbol in the middle row 26b after 11600 ms from the start of fluctuation. And the common production | generation part is complete | finished 12000 ms after a fluctuation | variation start. That is, in the common effect section, the effect contents are usually the same as the shift effect (see FIG. 10), and when the common effect section is executed, the player usually has an illusion that the shift effect has been executed. Become. However, when the pseudo shortening off effect is executed based on the sudden change pattern P14, the common effect portion derives the off symbol including the reach symbol.

  The sudden effect section is started 12000 ms after the start of fluctuation, and the inserted image is displayed for a short time (in the embodiment, 500 ms) simultaneously with the start of the sudden effect section. After the insertion image is displayed, the sudden hit image is displayed as the background image, and the big hit symbol is displayed (temporarily stopped). Then, after 14500 ms from the start of fluctuation, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped, and the sudden effect section (the sudden hit effect) is set to end. As the insertion image, an image that the symbol display device 17 blacks out or whites out, a cut-in image in which a specific character or the like is displayed, and the like are set. In addition, as the sudden hit image, a specific image for allowing the player to recognize that the big hit has been determined is set. Further, in the embodiment, the movable effect by the movable effect device 29 is executed at the start of the sudden effect part (that is, the timing at which the inserted image is displayed). That is, after 12000 ms from the start of the fluctuation of the sudden hit effect, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a control command to drive the drive motor 29b of the movable effect device 29 so that the movable body 29a is moved from the initial posture to the effect posture. It has become. An effect pattern that specifies the specific effect contents of the sudden change pattern P14 is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as an unexpected effect pattern. The general control CPU 65a is configured to output an effect pattern designation command for designating the sudden impact effect pattern to the display control CPU 70a when a variation pattern designation command for designating the sudden impact effect pattern is input.

(Regarding the pseudo-shortening effect based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode)
Here, in the specification based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode, the pseudo-shortening deviation effect can be executed only when the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9 and the sudden hit fluctuation pattern P14 are determined. Is set to Further, the probability that the overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the pseudo-shortening effect based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode is the number of stored first special figure start hold information and the second The number of stored special figure start hold information changes based on the total number of hold information.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 29, distribution of determination values (a total of 251 integers from “0” to “250”) for determining whether or not to execute a pseudo-shortening effect is performed as a sum of pending information. By changing according to the number, the overall control CPU 65a changes the probability of executing the pseudo-shortening effect. In the embodiment, the probability that the pseudo-shortening effect is executed is set to be increased when the total number of held information is “6” or more, compared with the case where the total number of held information is less than “6”. That is, in the case where the total number of hold information is “1 to 5”, the total number of determination values distributed to the pseudo-short cut off effect (only the first pseudo short cut off effect) is “31”, whereas the hold information In the case where the total number is “6-7”, the total number of determination values distributed to the first pseudo-shortening effect and the second pseudo-shortening effect is “151”, and the total number of pending information is “8” In this case, the total number of determination values assigned to the first pseudo-shortening effect and the second pseudo-shortening effect is set to “171”.

  In addition, the relationship between the probability that the first pseudo shortening misalignment effect is determined and the probability that the second pseudo shortening misalignment effect is determined is that the probability that the shortening misalignment variation pattern P2 is determined and the super shortening misalignment variation pattern P3 are determined. This corresponds to the relationship with the probability (see FIG. 27). That is, in the case where the total number of pending information is “6” to “7”, the overall control CPU 65a is set so as to easily determine the first pseudo-shortening effect (determination assigned to the first pseudo-shortening effect) “100” with the most values). Further, in the case where the total number of pending information is “8”, the overall control CPU 65a is set to easily determine the second pseudo-shortening effect (the number of determination values distributed to the second pseudo-shortening effect is the largest). "110" pieces). Then, when the total number of holding information where the probability that the super-shortening deviation variation pattern P3 is determined is 0 is “1” to “5”, the probability that the second pseudo-shortening deviation effect is determined is also set to zero. (There are “0” judgment values assigned to the second pseudo-shortening effect).

(Regarding the pseudo-shortening effect based on the sudden fluctuation pattern P14)
Next, a description will be given of a case where the pseudo shortening off effect is executed in the sudden hit effect specified by the sudden hit variation pattern P14. In this case, the pseudo-shortage effect is executed in the common effect unit. That is, when executing the pseudo-shortening effect, the timing for temporarily stopping the decorative drawings of the left and right rows 26a and 26c in the common effect unit is advanced. In the case of executing the first pseudo-shortening effect in the sudden change pattern P14, as shown in FIG. 28, the decorative figures in the left and right rows 26a and 26c are temporarily stopped after 6000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, and the reach symbols are derived, Normal reach production is executed. Then, after 11600 ms from the start of the fluctuation, a decorative drawing different from the decorative drawings of the left and right rows 26a and 26c is temporarily stopped in the middle row 26b, and a dissipated symbol is derived. Furthermore, an insertion image is displayed after 12000 ms from the start of fluctuation, and the sudden effect producing unit is executed. Further, when the second pseudo-shortening effect is executed in the sudden fluctuation pattern P14, the decorative drawings in the left and right rows 26a and 26c are temporarily stopped after 2800 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the reach symbols are derived, and the normal reach effect is executed. The Then, 11600 ms after the start of the fluctuation, the decorative drawing different from the decorative drawings of the left and right rows 26a, 26c is temporarily stopped in the middle row 26b, the off-set symbol is derived, and the inserted image is displayed after 12000 ms from the start of the fluctuation. The sudden production section is executed. That is, when the pseudo shortening deviation effect is executed based on the sudden change pattern P14, the same effect as the case where the pseudo shortening deviation effect is usually executed based on the deviation fluctuation pattern P1 is executed in the common effect unit. The sudden production section is executed.

(Regarding the pseudo-shortening effect based on the normal reach big hit variation pattern P9)
In the case of executing the pseudo shortening deviation effect based on the normal reach big hit variation pattern P9, the timing at which the reach symbol is temporarily stopped can be advanced compared to the case of the normal reach effect in which the pseudo shortening deviation effect is not executed. That is, as shown in FIG. 30, when the first pseudo-shortening effect is executed, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped after 6000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the normal reach effect is executed, and the jackpot symbol is derived as a result of the normal reach effect. The Further, when executing the second pseudo-shortening effect, the reach symbol is temporarily stopped after 2800 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the normal reach effect is executed, and the jackpot symbol is derived as a result of the normal reach effect.

(Regarding the control configuration of the pseudo-shortening effect in response to winning at the second start winning opening 31b)
Next, a description will be given of a control configuration unique to the pseudo shortening off stage triggered by winning at the second start winning opening 31b. The pseudo shortening off effect triggered by winning at the second start winning opening 31b can be executed when the main control CPU 60a determines the sudden fluctuation pattern P14 or the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9.

  The overall control CPU 65a executes the above-described pseudo shortening misalignment effect determination processing when the variation pattern designated by the inputted variation pattern designation command is the sudden variation variation pattern P14 or the normal reach big hit variation pattern P9 (see FIG. 24). ). Next, the overall control CPU 65a determines a reach symbol to be temporarily stopped by the pseudo-shortening effect, and a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the determined reach symbol at a predetermined timing (in the case of the first pseudo-shortening effect, In the case of the second pseudo-shortening effect after 6000 ms from the start of change, the output is output to the display control CPU 70a at 2800 ms after the start of change.

  When the effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a causes the symbol display device 17 to variably display the decorative drawing with the background image as a normal background. When the temporary stop symbol designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a is set to temporarily stop the reach symbol designated by the temporary stop symbol designation command and execute the normal reach effect. In addition, after executing the normal reach effect, the display control CPU 70a executes the effect based on the effect pattern designated by the effect pattern designation command. In other words, in the case of the sudden hit effect pattern, the unexpected effect section is executed after deriving the symbol as a result of the normal reach effect. Further, in the case of the normal reach jackpot effect pattern, the jackpot symbol is determined and stopped as a result of the normal reach effect.

(About the execution mode of the specification based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b)
Next, a characteristic execution mode based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode will be described. Since the reach probability that is executed in response to winning in the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode is set to “0”, the symbol variation effect that is executed when the big hit determination is negative is the reach effect. It is limited to a normal off-line production, a short off-line production, or a super-short off-line production without accompanying. On the other hand, when the big hit determination is affirmative, either the sudden hit effect based on the sudden hit fluctuation pattern P14 or the normal reach effect based on the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9 is executed.

  That is, when the sudden change pattern P14 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a outputs an effect pattern designation command for designating an unexpected effect pattern, and the display control CPU 70a starts the sudden effect. As shown in FIG. 28, the display control CPU 70a displays a decorative drawing in a variably manner while displaying a normal background as a background image on the symbol display device 17, and starts a common effect section. Then, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop designating command for designating the decorative drawing of the left column 26a constituting the symbol 8500ms after the start of the change, and the display control CPU 70a temporarily displays the decorative design designated by the display control CPU 70a in the right column 26c. Stop. Further, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the decorative symbol in the right column 26c constituting the symbol after 10000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, and the decorative symbol designated by the display control CPU 70a is provisionally displayed in the left column 26a. Stop. Further, the general control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the symbol in the middle row 26b 11600 ms after the start of the change, and the display control CPU 70a temporarily stops the decorative symbol designated in the middle column 26b. That is, in the common effect section, a shift symbol is usually derived in the same manner as the shift effect, so that the player has an illusion that the shift has been confirmed when the common effect section is finished.

  Next, the display control CPU 70a displays an insertion image (for example, an image to be blacked out) on the symbol display device 17 to start the sudden effect production unit. At the same time, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a control command to the drive motor 29b to move the movable body 29a of the movable effect device 29 to the effect posture (see FIG. 1). The display control CPU 70a displays the inserted image for 500 ms, and then switches the background image to the sudden hit image and displays the big hit symbol. In other words, in the sudden hit effect, the player is surprised because the sudden hit effect section is suddenly executed and the player is notified of the big hit at the timing when the player recognizes that the deviation due to the offset effect has been confirmed. Can do. In addition, when the sudden effect section is started, the movable effect by the movable effect device 29 is simultaneously executed, so that a powerful effect can be provided to the player. Note that the main control CPU 60a outputs all symbol designation commands 14500 ms after the start of fluctuation, and the display control CPU 70a confirms and stops the big hit symbol.

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, a pseudo-shortening off effect can be executed based on the sudden change pattern P14. That is, as shown in FIG. 28, in the case of the first pseudo-shortening effect, after 6000 ms from the start of the common effect part, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol specifying command for specifying the reach symbol, and the display control CPU 70a The reach design designated in the design display device 17 is temporarily stopped. In the case of the second pseudo-shortening effect, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the reach symbol 2800ms after the start of the common effect unit, and executes the normal reach effect. That is, when the pseudo-shortening effect is performed in the sudden hit effect, the player performs the shortening effect or the super-shortening effect, and the reach effect is executed when the player recognizes that the loss has been confirmed. It will be possible to surprise the player. Then, the general control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designating command for designating the decorating symbol of the middle row 26b constituting the off symbol after 11600 ms from the start of the change, and displays the decorating symbol designated by the display control CPU 70a in the middle column 26b. Temporarily stop and deviate symbol. Further, the display control CPU 70a displays an insertion image on the symbol display device 17 to start the sudden effect producing unit, and the overall control CPU 65a outputs a control command to the drive motor 29b, and the movable body 29a of the movable effect device 29 is displayed. Operate. Then, the display control CPU 70a displays a jackpot symbol together with the sudden hit image to make the player recognize the jackpot. As described above, when the pseudo-short cut off effect is executed in the sudden hit effect, the player is surprised because the big hit is suddenly notified at the timing when the player recognizes that the shift has been confirmed after the normal reach effect. it can. In addition, since it is possible to provide various effects such that the sudden effect part is executed after the false shortening effect, the interest of the game is improved.

  When the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9 is determined, as shown in FIG. 13, after 8000 ms from the start of fluctuation, the overall control CPU 65a designates the temporary stop symbol designation for designating the decoration of the left row 26a constituting the big hit symbol. A command is output, and the decoration drawing designated by the display control CPU 70a is temporarily stopped in the left column 26a. Further, after 10000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the ornament of the right row 26c constituting the jackpot symbol, and the display control CPU 70a temporarily designates the ornament designated by the display control CPU 70a in the right column 26c. The normal reach production is executed. Then, after 17000 ms from the start of the fluctuation, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a temporary stop symbol designation command for designating the ornament of the middle row 26b constituting the jackpot symbol, and the display control CPU 70a temporarily designates the ornament designated by the display control CPU 70a in the middle row 26b. Stop and derive the jackpot symbol. As described above, when a big hit occurs in response to a winning at the second starting port in the normal mode, either a sudden hit effect or a normal reach effect in which a big hit symbol is suddenly derived is executed. That is, by limiting the jackpot effect executed based on the winning to the second start opening in the normal mode to either the sudden hit effect or the normal reach effect, it is based on the winning at the second start winning port 31b. It is possible to provide a player with unique game characteristics.

  Here, as described above, since the reach probability based on the winning to the second start winning opening 31b is set to “0”, the variation pattern for the off-reach effect is not set. Therefore, when the reach effect is executed in the symbol variation effect based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31b, the big hit game is surely given. In this way, by setting the reach probability based on the winning to the second start winning opening 31b in the normal mode to “0”, a game characteristic peculiar to the winning to the second starting winning opening 31b can be provided. The fun of gaming can be enhanced. In addition, in the symbol variation production triggered by winning the second start winning opening 31b, the expectation (reliability 100%) for the reach effect is high, and the player is based on the winning to the second starting winning opening 31b. When the symbol variation effect is started, the game can be enjoyed while expecting the reach effect to be executed. In addition, the player determines whether the symbol variation effect is the first start winning opening 31a or the second start from the light emission mode of the LEDs of the first special figure hold display unit 52 and the second special figure hold display unit 53 provided on the game board. It is possible to determine which of the winning openings 31b is based on winning. Therefore, the player can recognize that the above-described unique game performance is based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b.

  By the way, as described above, most of the winning balls set in the special drawings D and E of the special figure 1 are obtained in the big hit game generated based on the winning (special figure 2) to the second start winning opening 31b. There is no jackpot game that cannot be done. That is, the jackpot game that is generated based on the winning at the second start winning opening 31b is set so that the profit given to the player is likely to be larger than the jackpot game that is generated based on the winning at the first starting winning opening 31a. ing. 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. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, since the big hit game advantageous to the player based on the winning to the second start winning opening 31b is given preferentially, the player can be prevented from being dissatisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 31, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the probability variation state is present and the variation state is present (that is, in the probability variation mode (latent mode)), the reach is based on winning in the first start winning opening 31a. The probability and the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning opening 31b are set to be the same. Therefore, when there is a variable state with a certain change state, the reliability of the reach effect based on the winning at the first start winning port 31a is the same as the reliability of the reach effect based on the winning at the second starting port. . Similarly, in the case of a non-probable change state and a change state (that is, the time reduction mode), the reach probability based on winning in the first start winning port 31a and the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning port 31b are Are set identically. Therefore, even in the case of a non-probable change state and a variable state, the reliability of the reach effect based on the winning at the first start winning port 31a is the same as the reliability of the reach effect based on the winning at the second starting port. .

[Example of change]
The above-described embodiment can be variously modified as described below.
(1) In the embodiment, the reach probability based on the winning of the pachinko ball in the first starting winning opening and the reach probability based on the winning of the pachinko ball in the second starting winning opening are stored in the first special chart stored in the main control RAM. Regardless of the number of stored start hold information and the number of stored second special figure start hold information, it was constant. However, the reach probability based on winning in the first and second start winning openings may be changed according to the number of stored first and second special figure start hold information. For example, as shown in FIG. 32, the reach probability based on winning in the first start winning opening may be set so as to decrease as the number of stored first special figure start hold information increases. Regarding the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning opening, the total number of stored first special figure start hold information and the second special figure start hold information (hereinafter referred to as the total number of hold information). ). For example, as shown in FIG. 32, the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning opening may be set so as to decrease as the total number of pending information increases. In this way, by changing the reach probability, the gameability (the appearance rate of reach production) changes according to the number of stored start hold information, and the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, by setting the reach probability low as the number of stored start hold information increases, it is difficult for a reach effect to appear when the number of stored start hold information is large, and the game can be advanced efficiently.

  Here, since the symbol variation effect based on the winning at the second starting prize opening is preferentially executed over the symbol variation effect based on the winning at the first starting prize opening, the second starting prize opening. When the reach probability based on winning a prize is changed in consideration of only the stored number of second special figure start hold information, the following problems arise. That is, if the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning opening is set lower as the number of stored second special figure start hold information increases, the stored number of first special figure start hold information is “3” or “ Even if it is “4”, if the number of stored second special figure start hold information is small (“1-2”), the reach effect is likely to be executed. As a result, the reach effect is executed despite the large number of stored first special figure start hold information, and the progress of the game is hindered. Therefore, the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning opening is changed in consideration of the number of stored first special figure start hold information in addition to the number of stored second special figure start hold information. Thus, it is possible to avoid the above-described problem.

(2) In the embodiment, in the second gaming state (when there is a variable state), the reach probability based on the winning at the first starting winning opening (so-called irregular winning) and the winning at the second starting winning opening ( Reach probabilities based on so-called regular prizes are the same. However, the reach probability based on winning in the first start winning opening may be set lower than the reach probability based on winning in the second starting winning opening (the second first start reach probability is the second second start probability). Lower than reach probability). For example, the reach probability based on winning in the first start winning opening may be 0, and the reach probability based on winning in the second starting winning opening may be 4/239. When set in this way, providing a unique game characteristic that the appearance rate of reach production based on winning (so-called irregular winning) in the first start winning opening in the second gaming state is lowered. Can do. In this case, the reach probability based on winning in the second start winning opening in the first gaming state (when there is no variable state) may be less than the reach probability based on winning in the first starting winning opening. Good (the first second start reach probability is less than or equal to the first first start reach probability).
(3) In the embodiment, when the jackpot determination result based on winning at the second start winning opening without a variable state (first gaming state) is affirmative, either the sudden hit fluctuation pattern or the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern Is determined, but either the normal reach fluctuation pattern or the sudden hit fluctuation pattern when the jackpot determination result based on winning at the first start winning opening in the variable state (second gaming state) is affirmative It is good also as a structure which determines these.

(4) In the embodiment, when the pseudo continuous notice effect is executed, the normal reach effect and the super reach effect are always executed. However, the pseudo continuous notice effect is set so that the deviation is confirmed without the reach effect. Also good. In this case, when a pseudo continuous notice change pattern without a reach effect is set, and the pseudo continuous notice change pattern is determined, a pseudo continuous notice effect pattern in which the pattern is confirmed and stopped after the continuous unit effect is executed a plurality of times. Configurations that can be determined are conceivable.
(5) In the embodiment, the pseudo continuous notice effect is constituted by two or more pseudo change cycles. However, the pseudo continuous notice effect may be constituted by one pseudo change cycle. In this case, for example, the first pre-entry effect is executed as the pre-entry effect, the cycle end suggesting effect and the cycle end confirming effect (at least two or more continuous unit effects) are executed, and the pseudo continuous notice effect is ended. Alternatively, after performing only the pre-entry effect of the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the symbols may be confirmed and stopped without performing the continuous unit effect (so-called gusset notice). In this case, a pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern (for loss and jackpot) having one pseudo fluctuation cycle configuration number is set, and an effect pattern determined when the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern is determined is 1 A pseudo continuous notice effect pattern composed of two pseudo variation cycles may be set. In addition, only a pseudo continuous notice effect pattern composed of one pseudo change cycle is set, and when a normal deviation change pattern or a normal reach change pattern is determined, the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern can be determined. Good. In the embodiment, the maximum number of pseudo-variable cycle of pseudo continuous notice effect is four, but the pseudo continuous notice effect may be composed of five or more pseudo variable cycles. In the embodiment, the number of pseudo-variable cycles is determined in advance for each pseudo-continuous notice fluctuation pattern. However, an execution frequency determining means for determining the number of pseudo-variable cycles is provided to provide a pseudo-continuous notice. When the variation pattern is determined, the execution number determination means may determine the number of components of the pseudo variation cycle. At this time, the execution number determination means is set to easily determine the number of constituents of the pseudo-variable cycle as a large value in the case of winning, and to easily determine the number of constituents of the pseudo-variable cycle as a small value in the case of a loss. Note that the main control CPU and the overall control CPU can function as the execution frequency determining means.
(6) In the embodiment, the cycle end suggestion effect is set as a specific continuous unit effect, and the pseudo continuous notice effect patterns are classified according to the number of executions of the cycle end suggestion effect. However, other continuous unit effects (for example, The pseudo continuous notice effect pattern may be classified according to the number of executions of cycle continuation suggestion effect). Then, the reliability of the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern may be set to change according to the number of executions of the cycle continuation suggestion effect. In the embodiment, four types of continuous unit effects are used. However, at least two types of continuous unit effects may be used, and five or more types of continuous unit effects can be set.
(7) In the embodiment, as a trigger for the entry of the pseudo-continuous unit effect, the pseudo continuous entry point is derived in the effect before the second entry, but for example, a continuous simulation that is triggered to continue the pseudo-variable cycle. You may make it display symbol combinations, such as "7 * 6", as a quasi-continuation continuation between fluctuation cycles.
(8) In the embodiment, the setting is such that the pseudo shortening deviation effect is normally executed when the deviation fluctuation pattern, the pseudo continuous notice fluctuation pattern, or the like is determined. However, when the reduction deviation fluctuation pattern is determined, The second pseudo shortening misalignment effect specified by the super shortening misalignment variation pattern (specifically deviating variation pattern) having a variation time shorter than the shortening misalignment variation pattern (the variation pattern) may be executed.
(9) In the embodiment, the setting is such that the pseudo shortening deviation effect can be executed regardless of the reach determination. However, the pseudo shortening deviation effect may be executed only when the reach determination is affirmative. By setting in this way, since the appearance rate of the false shortening effect is reduced, the rare value (premier feeling) of the false shortening effect can be increased.
(10) In the embodiment, as the common effect part for the sudden effect, the effect similar to the normal effect (12000 ms) is executed, and the sudden effect part is transferred without the reach effect. As such, a configuration similar to other effects may be adopted. For example, an effect similar to the abbreviated effect (6400 ms) may be set as the common effect part, and a hit may be notified after the effect similar to the abbreviated effect is executed (the sudden effect part is started). . In addition, an effect similar to the normal reach effect may be set as the common effect part, and a hit may be notified at the timing when the normal reach effect is developed to the super reach effect (the sudden effect part is started). Here, the common development effect part is similar to the normal deviation effect, the normal reach effect, etc., not only when the common development effect part normally has the same stop timing of the background image or the decoration drawing as the deviation effect, for example, both The contents of the effects such as the normally developed effects may be slightly different from the common developed effects part, such as the background images having different colors, the background images being the same, and the presence or absence of specific characters being different. In other words, when the common development effect unit is executed, the common development effect unit may be configured to be similar to the normal shift effect or the like so that the player can usually get an illusion that the deviation effect or the normal reach effect is executed.
(11) In the embodiment, the main control CPU functions as a first reach determination unit (reach determination unit), a second reach determination unit (reach determination unit), a random number acquisition unit, a hit determination unit, and a variation pattern determination unit. However, these means may be separately provided on the main control board, the overall control board, or the like. Further, the overall control CPU may have all or part of the functions of these means.
(12) In the embodiment, the overall control CPU is configured to function as an effect execution control means for executing various effects such as a pseudo continuous notice effect. However, the effect execution control means is separately provided on the overall control board and the main control board. Or the main control CPU may function as an effect execution control means. In the embodiment, the overall control CPU has a function as an effect pattern determining means for determining various effect patterns such as a pseudo continuous notice effect pattern. However, the effect pattern determining means may be an overall control board or a main control board. The main control CPU may function as an effect pattern determining means. Furthermore, in the embodiment, the overall control CPU has a function as a false deviation effect determination means. However, the false deviation effect determination means is separately provided on the overall control board or the main control board, or the main control CPU is not false. You may comprise so that it may function as an effect determination means.
(13) In the embodiment, the control configuration of the gaming machine is composed of a main control board (main control means) and a sub control board (sub control means) that controls each control object based on a control signal from the main control board. Although configured, the entire gaming machine may be controlled by a single control board (control means).
(14) In the embodiment, the start winning detection sensor is provided in 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 in each starting winning opening are 1 It is good also as a structure detected with one sensor.
(15) 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.
(16) In the embodiment, a special figure display means (special figure display) for displaying a special figure is provided independently of the symbol display means (design display apparatus) 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.
(17) 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 performed 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.
