Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that determines variation contents of a symbol variation game based on a determination result of whether or not a symbol variation game is a big hit.

  Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine that is a type of gaming machine, a big hit lottery of whether or not a big hit is made when a game ball enters the start winning opening arranged on the game board, and the lottery results of the big hit lottery are It is derived by executing a symbol variation game in which the symbols of the columns are varied and displayed. In the symbol variation game, the player can recognize the big hit if the symbol that is finally stopped is a big hit symbol. In addition, there is a function provided with a probability changing function for changing the winning probability state for winning a big hit in the big hit lottery from the low probability state to the high probability state (hereinafter referred to as a “probability changed state”) after the big hit game ends.

  In this type of pachinko gaming machine, regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is given, whether or not the game state is the probability variation state from the selected variation pattern so that the selectable variation pattern group is the same. There has been proposed a pachinko gaming machine that conceals this and suggests whether or not a probable variation state is given as a gaming state (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2007-135700 A

  However, in such a pachinko machine, if they are in the same gaming state, since any one of the same variation pattern group is selected corresponding to the gaming state, a similar variation pattern is determined, which is an effective performance. However, there was a risk that the interest in the game would decline.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art, and the purpose of the present invention is to execute an effective performance even in the same specific gaming state. It is in providing the game machine which can improve the interest with respect to.

In order to solve the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention, an effect of performing control to execute a main control unit, the effect on execution unit out Starring based on the control signal outputted from the pre-Symbol main control unit and a control unit, and when the symbol jackpot display result a predetermined in FIG pattern variations game in which at varying appears, in the gaming machine jackpot gaming that is advantageous to the player is caused, the main The control means includes a jackpot determination means for determining whether or not the symbol variation game is a big hit, and a variation content determination means for determining a variation content for designating a variation time of the symbol variation game based on a determination result of the jackpot determination means. And a gaming state control means for controlling a gaming state related to a probability variation state in which the winning probability of jackpot is changed from a low probability state to a high probability state, and a variation state in which the variation time of the symbol variation game can be shortened. And the variation content determination means includes the first variation content group and the first variation content group at least of the variation content constituting the first variation content group when the probability change state and the variation state are the same specific gaming state. some selects one of a plurality of types of change contents group including a different second variation content group, in the case with determining the selected change contents group or al fluctuations content, the same specific game state, The selection between the first variation content group and the second variation content group can be switched a plurality of times, and when the variation content is determined from the second variation content group, the effect control means determines the upper limit. Based on the number of times of change, the control is performed to cause the effect execution means to execute the second special effect that suggests the continuation of the change state, and an index for the continuation of the change state in the executed second special effect When the variation content is determined from the first variation content group, and the variation number determined as the upper limit, and the index stored in the second special effect previously performed Based on the information , the gist is to perform control for causing the effect executing means to execute a first special effect that definitely notifies whether or not the variable state is continued .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the main control means has a game number counting means for counting the number of symbol variation games executed after entering a specific gaming state. The variation content determining means, when the same specific gaming state, is based on the result counted by the game number counting means, and the predetermined number of times after the specific gaming state is reached. In the specific symbol variation game, the first variation content group is selected, while in the non-specific symbol variation game that is not the specific symbol variation game, the second variation content group is selected, and in the same specific gaming state, the selection of one variation contents group and the second variation contents groups and multiple switchable, the specific game state is in either of whether probability variation state is applied, and variable short state The game state control means is determined in advance after the end of the specific jackpot game when the specified jackpot game is granted in a state where no change state is given at the time of winning. By giving a variable state with an upper limit of any one of a plurality of types of variable number of times, control is performed to a specific gaming state, and a plurality of specific symbol variation games of the specific number of times are defined, The gist is that the game is a symbol variation game corresponding to a plurality of predetermined number of times of variation .

In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 3 is an effect that performs control for causing the effect execution means to execute an effect based on a control signal output from the main control means and the main control means. And a control means, wherein when a predetermined jackpot display result is displayed in a symbol variation game performed by varying symbols, the main control is performed in a gaming machine in which a jackpot game that is advantageous to a player is generated. The means includes a jackpot determination means for determining whether or not the symbol variation game is a jackpot, and a variation content determination means for determining a variation content for designating a variation time of the symbol variation game based on a determination result of the jackpot determination means. , Game state control that controls the game state related to the probabilistic state that changes the winning probability of jackpot from the low probability state to the high probability state and the variable state that can shorten the variation time of the symbol variation game The number of game counts that counts the number of symbol-variable games that have been executed after entering a specific gaming state in which a variable state is assigned and whether or not a certainly variable state is assigned And the change content determination means is predetermined after becoming the specific gaming state based on the result counted by the game number counting means in the case of the same specific gaming state. In the specific symbol variation game of the specific number of times, the first variation content group is selected, while in the non-specific symbol variation game that is not the specific symbol variation game, the first variation content group is at least one of the variation contents constituting the first variation content group. The second variation content group having a different part is selected, the variation content is determined from the selected variation content group, and in the same specific gaming state, the first variation content group and the second variation content group The game state control means is determined in advance after the end of the specific jackpot game when the specific jackpot game is given in a state where no change state is given at the time of winning. By giving a variable state with an upper limit of any one of a plurality of types of variable number of times, a control is made to a specific gaming state, the variation content determining means, among the plurality of types of variable number of times, In the case where the second variable number of times until the next big hit game is awarded or greater than the first variable number of times is determined, at least the first variable number of times in the same specific gaming state. The first variation content group is selected as the specific symbol variation game of the specific number of times , and the game state control means is surely changed after the specific jackpot game given by the winning of a predetermined probability variation big win. On the other hand, after the specific big hit game given by winning a predetermined non-probability variable big win, control that does not give a positive change state is performed, and the performance control means is either a predetermined positive change big hit or a predetermined non-probable big hit When a specific jackpot game is granted in a state where no variable state is given at the time of winning, a certain change non-specific effect is performed after the end of the specific jackpot game, regardless of whether or not the probability change state is given. The gist is to perform the control to be executed by the effect execution means .

  According to the present invention, even in the same specific gaming state, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing an effective performance.

The effect display device 11 includes a symbol variation game (hereinafter referred to as “variable game”) that is displayed by variably displaying a plurality of symbol sequences (three columns in this embodiment), and is executed in association with the variation game. Various display effects are displayed as images. Note that the variation game of the effect display device 11 is performed using decorative symbols (effect symbols, hereinafter referred to as “decorative symbols”) for diversifying display effects.

  In addition, in the lower left of the effect display device 11, a first special symbol display device 12a having a plurality of (seven in the present embodiment) first special symbol light emitting units is located in the lower right of the first special symbol display device 12a. Are each provided with a second special symbol display device 12b having a plurality of (seven in the present embodiment) second special figure light emitting portions. In the first special symbol display device 12a or the second special symbol display device 12b, a variable game is displayed in which a special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special symbol") is displayed in a variable manner. The special figure is a notification pattern showing the result of the internal lottery (big hit lottery) for whether or not the big hit, and the result of the internal lottery (small hit lottery) for whether or not the small hit. In the present embodiment, the variable game is executed once on each display device 12a, 12b from when the special figure variable display is started until the fixed stop display is displayed. Hereinafter, the variation game performed on the first special symbol display device 12a may be referred to as “first variation game (first symbol variation game)”, and the variation game performed on the second special symbol display device 12b is referred to as “second”. "Change game (2nd symbol change game)".

  In this embodiment, each display device 12a, 12b has one special figure corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery or the lottery result of the small lottery from among a plurality of special figures (105 kinds in the present embodiment). Is selected, and the selected special figure is individually displayed in a fixed stop state at the end of the variable game. The 105 types of special symbols are 100 types of big hit symbols (big hit display result) that can recognize big hits, and four types of small hit symbols (small hit display results) that can be used to recognize small hits, It is classified into one type of outlier symbol (outlier display result) that becomes a symbol that can recognize the discrepancy. Further, when the big hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state, the big hit game is given to the player. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a small hit game.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 displays seven types of numbers [1] to [7] as decorative drawings for each of a plurality of symbol rows. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 is configured with a larger display area than the display devices 12a and 12b, and the decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special drawing. Yes. For this reason, the player can recognize a hit (big hit and small hit) or a deviation from the symbols displayed on the effect display device 11 in a fixed stop display.

  And the display result according to the display result of each display apparatus 12a, 12b is displayed on the production | presentation display apparatus 11. FIG. Specifically, when the big hit symbol (big hit display result) is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a or the second special symbol display device 12b in a definite stop display, as a general rule, the big hit symbol is also displayed on the effect display device 11. (Big hit display result) is displayed as a fixed stop. In the present embodiment, the jackpot symbol based on the decoration diagram is a symbol combination in which the symbols in all rows are the same symbol (for example, [222] [777]).

  In addition, in the case where a deviated symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a or the second special symbol display device 12b as a fixed stop display, as a general rule, the off graphic (the display result of the non-display) is also displayed as a fixed stop display on the effect display device 11. Is done. In the present embodiment, as an out-of-line design by a decorative drawing, a symbol combination (for example, [135] [246] etc.) in which the symbols in all the rows are different, or a symbol in one row is different from the symbols in the other two rows. The symbol combinations are different symbols (for example, [121] [767]).

  Further, when the small hit symbol (small hit display result) is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a or the second special symbol display device 12b in a fixed stop display, the effect display suggestion symbol (probable change suggestion display result) is displayed on the effect display device 11. The fixed stop is displayed. In addition, even when a big hit symbol that can recognize a big hit (a big hit display result) is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a or the second special symbol display device 12b in a definite stop display, the probable change suggestive symbol (probable change suggestion) is displayed. Display result) may be displayed as a fixed stop. In addition, this probability variation suggestion symbol is a probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as “below”) that changes the winning probability of jackpot from a low probability state (2211/65536 in the present embodiment) to a high probability state (2210/65536 in the present embodiment). It is a symbol that suggests the possibility of being given a “probable change state”. In the present embodiment, as the probability change suggestion symbol by the decorative drawing, a predetermined symbol combination corresponds to a symbol combination in which symbols in all the columns are different (in this embodiment, [123] or the like).

  Further, in the effect display device 11, the variable display of symbols stops in the order of left column → right column → middle column as viewed from the player side, and two specific columns (two columns on the left and right in this embodiment) are displayed. ), The reach state is formed when the same symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. Here, the temporary stop display is a state in which the image display unit GH is displayed in a fluctuation state, and is distinguished from a fixed stop display in which the symbol is fixed and stopped in the image display unit GH. In this embodiment, among the plurality of symbol columns, the left column is the first stop column, the right column is the second stop column (previous stop column), the middle column is the third stop column (final stop column), and the left column and the right column The column becomes a reach forming column that forms a reach state.

  On the upper left of the first special symbol display device 12a, a first special symbol hold display device 13a having a plurality of (two in this embodiment) first special symbol hold light emitting units is disposed. The first special symbol hold display device 13a informs the player of the stored number of start hold balls for special symbols in the first variation game stored inside the machine. In the following description, the number of special reserved starting balls stored in the first variation game is referred to as “first reserved memory number”. The first reserved memory number is incremented by “1” when a game ball wins a first starting winning opening 14 as a starting means (first starting means) disposed on the game board 10, while the first fluctuation is added. “1” is subtracted at the start of the game. Accordingly, when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 14 during the variable game, the first reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment).

  On the lower right side of the second special symbol display device 12b, a second special symbol hold display device 13b having a plurality (two in this embodiment) of second special symbol hold light emitting units is disposed. The second special symbol hold display device 13b notifies the player of the stored number of start hold balls for special symbols in the second variation game stored inside the machine. In the following description, the number of special reserved starting balls in the second variation game is referred to as “second reserved memory number”. The second reserved memory number is incremented by “1” when the game ball wins the second starting winning opening 15 as the starting means (second starting means) disposed on the game board 10, while the second fluctuation “1” is subtracted at the start of the game. Accordingly, when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 15 during the variable game, the second reserved memory number is further added and accumulated up to a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment).

  In addition, a normal symbol display device 20 having a plurality of (two in this embodiment) common symbol light emitting units is disposed on the upper right of the second special symbol display device 12b. In the normal symbol display device 20, a normal symbol variation game is displayed in which a plurality of types of normal symbols are displayed in a variable manner. The normal symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of an internal lottery (normal lottery) for determining whether or not the game is a normal hit. In the following, the normal symbol is indicated as “normal figure”, and the normal symbol game is indicated as “normal figure game”. Also, in this general game, as in the case of the variable game, the game ball passes (enters) the operation gate 19 provided on the game board 10, so that the general game start hold ball (the normal map start hold ball). ) Is stored. The memory number of the general-purpose starting ball (the general-purpose reserved memory number) is incremented by “1” with a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment) as an upper limit by passing the game ball to the operation gate 19. On the other hand, “1” is subtracted when the usual game starts.

  In the present embodiment, the first variation game and the second variation game are configured not to be executed at the same time. When the variation game (the first variation game or the second variation game) is finished, the first hold memory is stored. When both the number and the second reserved memory number are “1” or more, the second variable game based on the second reserved memory number is preferentially executed. In the present embodiment, the variable game and the usual game can be executed simultaneously.

  In addition, a round display device 21 having a plurality of (three in the present embodiment) round light emitting units is disposed on the upper right of the normal symbol display device 20. The round display device 21 serving as a round number notification means is provided with a winning game (a big hit game or a small hit game), or a round game in which the big winning opening 18 is opened when a big hit game is given. The player is notified of the specified number of rounds (number of rounds) that is the upper limit number of times.

  Below the effect display device 11, a first start winning port 14 having a first winning port 14a for a game ball is arranged. Behind the first start winning opening 14, a first start opening switch SW1 (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting a winning game ball is disposed. The first start winning opening 14 gives a start condition for the first variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the winning game ball with the first start opening switch SW1. obtain. In the present embodiment, when the game ball rolls from the right side of the game board 10 as indicated by the symbol Y, it is more difficult to win the first start winning opening 14 than when the game ball rolls from the left side of the game board 10. As shown, obstacle nails and the like are arranged.

  In addition, a second start winning opening 15 having a second winning opening 15a for a game ball is disposed at the lower right of the first start winning opening 14. The second start winning opening 15 is an ordinary electric accessory, and includes an opening / closing blade 16 as an opening / closing means for performing an opening / closing operation by the operation of an ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 (shown in FIG. 5). The second start winning opening 15 is in an open state (first state) where the entrance is expanded by the opening operation of the opening / closing blade 16 and the game ball is likely to win (win), while the opening / closing blade 16 is closed. The entrance is not expanded, and the game ball is in a closed state (second state) in which it is difficult to win. A second start port switch SW2 (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting a winning game ball is disposed in the back of the second start winning port 15. The second start winning opening 15 gives a start condition for the second variation game and a payout condition for a game ball as a predetermined number of prize balls by detecting the winning game ball with the second start opening switch SW2. obtain. In the present embodiment, when the game ball rolls from the right side of the game board 10, an obstacle nail or the like is provided so that it is easier to win the second start winning opening 15 than when the game ball rolls from the left side of the game board 10. Is arranged.

  In addition, an operation gate 19 is disposed at the lower right of the effect display device 11. A gate switch SW4 (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting a passed game ball is disposed in the back of the operation gate 19. The actuating gate 19 can give the start condition for the usual game by detecting the passed game ball with the gate switch SW4. The usual game is an effect performed for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the opening / closing blade 16 of the second start winning opening 15 is opened. In other words, when the normal winning lottery is won, the opening of the opening / closing blade 16 makes it easy to win the game ball in the second start winning opening 15, and the player can easily acquire the start condition and the prize ball of the second variable game. Can be obtained.

  Also, below the second start winning opening 15, a large winning opening 18 having a large winning opening door 17 that opens and closes by the operation of a large winning opening solenoid SOL2 (shown in FIG. 5) is disposed. A count switch SW3 (shown in FIG. 5) for detecting a winning game ball is disposed in the back of the big winning opening 18. The special winning opening 18 as a special winning opening can give a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls as payout conditions by detecting the winning game balls. The big winning opening 18 is opened by the opening operation of the big winning opening door 17 during the big hit game, and the winning of the game ball is allowed. For this reason, during the big hit game, the player can have an opportunity to win a prize ball. In this embodiment, when the game ball rolls from the right side of the game board 10, obstacle nails or the like are arranged so that it is easier to win the big prize opening 18 than when the game ball rolls from the left side of the game board 10. It is installed.

  This jackpot game is won by a jackpot lottery, and the jackpot symbol is confirmed and stopped in the first variation game of the first special symbol display device 12a or the second variation game of the second special symbol display device 12b. It starts after the end. When the big hit game is started, an opening effect indicating the start of the big hit game is first performed. After the opening effect, the round game in which the special winning opening 18 is opened is performed a plurality of times with the predetermined number of rounds as the upper limit. One round game is performed until the grand prize opening 18 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, once), and a predetermined number (the upper limit number of prizes) is given to the big prize opening 18 during one round game. The game ball is released until a game ball is won or until a specified time (round game time) elapses. In the round game, a round effect is performed. When the specified number of round games are finished, an ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed, and the jackpot game is finished.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a probable change state that is advantageous to the player may be given after the big hit game is over. The probability variation state is given on condition that the type of jackpot symbol (special symbol) displayed in a fixed stop state is a predetermined probability variation symbol. In this probability change state, after the jackpot game ends, the winning probability of the jackpot changes from a low probability state (2211/65536 in the present embodiment) to a high probability state (2210/65536 in the present embodiment). In this embodiment, a jackpot to which a probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is a probability variation jackpot, and a jackpot to which a probability variation state is not imparted is a non-probability variation jackpot.

  In addition, the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is over until the next jackpot is generated when the probability variation jackpot is reached. In this way, the probability variation state is advantageous for the player because the lottery probability of the jackpot lottery fluctuates with a high probability and the jackpot is likely to be generated, and the player plays the game while expecting to become a probability variation jackpot. Is going.

  In addition, after the big hit game is over, a variation shortened state (hereinafter referred to as “variable state”) may be given. In this variable state, the variation time of the variable game may be shortened (may be shortened) as compared to the non-variable state to which the variable state is not given. In some cases, the variation time of the variation game to be played is shortened. In the variable state, the variation time of the usual game for deriving a lottery result indicating whether or not the opening / closing blade 16 is opened is shortened compared to the non-variable state. Further, in the variable state, the winning probability per ordinary game of the ordinary game changes from a low probability state (3277/65536 in the present embodiment) to a high probability state (65535/65536 in the present embodiment). In the variable state, when the normal winning lottery is won, the open / close blade 16 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from that in the non-variable state. In the present embodiment, when the normal winning lottery is won in the non-changing short state, the open / close blade 16 is opened once, and the open state is maintained until 500 ms elapses after the open. On the other hand, when the normal lottery is won in the variable state, the open / close blade 16 is opened three times, and the open state is maintained until 800 ms elapses after the opening in one opening. ing. In other words, the open / close blade 16 is set to operate in an advantageous manner for the player in the variable state, in which the total opening time corresponding to one normal hit is longer than in the non-variable state. For this reason, in the variable state, the opening / closing blade 16 is easily moved to the open state, and the second variation game is more easily executed than the first variation game.

  The open / close blades 16 are opened when a normal hit is reached, but the open / close blades 16 are closed when the upper limit number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) have won even before closing. It has become. Similarly, the opening / closing blade 16 is closed when the upper limit number of game balls has been won even if it has not been opened a predetermined number of times. In addition, the variable state is a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 100) according to the type of jackpot game and the game state at the time of winning. It may be awarded until a variable game is played or until the next jackpot game is awarded.

  Further, when the variable state is given in this way, the opening / closing blade 16 is easily opened. For this reason, although it is difficult for the game ball to win the first start winning opening 14, it is more advantageous for the player to fire the game ball so that the game ball rolls from the right side of the game board 10 (so-called “right-handed”). The gaming state. On the other hand, when the variable state is not given, the opening / closing blade 16 is difficult to open. For this reason, it is advantageous for the player to fire the game ball so that the game ball rolls from the left side of the game board 10 (so-called “left-handed”) so that the game ball wins the first start winning opening 14. The gaming state. During the big hit game, in order to make it easier to win the big prize opening 18, it is better for the player to fire the game ball so that the game ball rolls from the right side of the game board 10 (so-called “right-handed”). It is advantageous.

  An effect button 70 that can be operated by the player is disposed below the game board 10 of the pachinko gaming machine. The effect button 70 as the effect operation means is a push button type, and when operated, an operation signal is output to the overall control board 31 (shown in FIG. 5) connected to the effect button 70.

Next, the jackpot game defined in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.
In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit is determined from the ten types of big hits shown in FIG. 2, and the big hit game corresponding to the determined big hit is given. It has become. Which of the 10 types of jackpots is awarded is determined in accordance with a special figure (big jackpot symbol) that is determined when the jackpot lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the big hit symbols of 100 types of special figures displayed on the display devices 12a and 12b in a fixed stop are classified for each special figure as shown in FIG. In the figure, the symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a is indicated as "Special Fig. 1", and the symbol that is determined and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b is indicated as "Special Fig. 2". .

  Of the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a, the symbol A has 10 types of jackpot symbols. In addition, symbol B has 10 types of jackpot symbols, symbol C has 2 types of jackpot symbols, symbol D has 4 types of jackpot symbols, symbol E has 14 types of jackpot symbols, symbol F has Thirteen types of jackpot symbols are assigned, and symbol G is assigned twelve types of jackpot symbols. In addition, two types of jackpot symbols are assigned to symbol H, eleven types of jackpot symbols are assigned to symbol I, and 22 types of jackpot symbols are assigned to symbol J. In addition, in the symbol K shown in FIG. 2, four types of special symbols (small hit symbols) corresponding to the small hit game are assigned.

  On the other hand, among the jackpot symbols that are confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b, the symbol a has 20 types of jackpot symbols, the symbol c has 30 types of jackpot symbols, and the symbol d has 15 types. The jackpot symbols of each are distributed. Further, five types of jackpot symbols are allocated to symbol h, ten types of jackpot symbols are allocated to symbol i, and twenty types of jackpot symbols are allocated to symbol j. Further, in the symbol k shown in FIG. 2, one type of special symbol (small symbol) corresponding to the small hit game is distributed. It should be noted that symbols corresponding to symbols B and E to G in the first special symbol display device 12a are not defined for the jackpot symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b.

  Granted when a big hit symbol classified as symbol A is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, or when a big hit symbol classified as symbol a is confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b The jackpot game to be played is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”, and is hereinafter referred to as “15R jackpot game”. The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol categorized as symbol B is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “15”. This is shown as “actual 10R big hit game”. Note that the jackpot to which the “15R jackpot game” is awarded is indicated as “15R probability variable jackpot”, and the jackpot to which the “substantial 10R jackpot game” is assigned is also referred to as “substantial 10R chance bonus jackpot”.

  Further, when the jackpot symbol classified as symbols C to F and H to J is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a in a fixed stop state, or the jackpot symbol classified as symbols c, d, h to j is second. The jackpot game given when the fixed stop display is displayed on the special symbol display device 12b is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “10 times”, and is hereinafter referred to as “10R jackpot game”. The jackpot symbol classified as symbol C has been confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, or the jackpot symbol classified as symbol c has been confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. The big hit won by is indicated as “Special 10R Probable Big Hit”. In addition, the jackpot symbol classified as symbol D is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a in a fixed stop display, or the jackpot symbol classified as symbol d is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b in a fixed stop display. The jackpot won in accordance with is indicated as “first 10R probability variation jackpot”. Further, the big hit that is won when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol E is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a is indicated as "second 10R probability variable big hit". Further, the big win that is won when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol F is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a as a fixed stop is indicated as “third 10R probability variable big hit”. In addition, the jackpot symbol classified as symbol H has been confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, or the jackpot symbol classified as symbol h has been confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. The jackpot won in accordance with is indicated as “first 10R non-probable big hit”. Also, the big hit symbol classified as symbol I has been confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, or the big hit symbol classified as symbol i has been confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. The winning jackpot that is won is indicated as “second 10R non-probable big hit”. In addition, the jackpot symbol classified as symbol J has been confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, or the jackpot symbol classified as symbol j has been confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. The winning jackpot that is won is indicated as “third 10R non-probable big hit”. The jackpot to which the 10R jackpot game is awarded is indicated as “10R jackpot”.

  The jackpot game given when the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol G is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a is a jackpot game in which the prescribed number of rounds is set to “10 times”. Hereinafter, it is indicated as “shortened 10R big hit game”. Note that the jackpot to which the “shortened 10R jackpot game” is given is indicated as “shortened 10R probability variable jackpot”.

  Also, in the 15R jackpot game and 10R jackpot game, the opening time is “9 (seconds)”, the maximum time of each round game is “25 (seconds)”, and the interval time between rounds (interval between rounds) is “ 2.0 (seconds) "and" 11 (seconds) "are set as the ending time. Thus, the 15R jackpot game is the same as the 10R jackpot game with the same release mode of one round game, and can be said to be a jackpot game advantageous to the player.

  On the other hand, in the shortened 10R jackpot game, the opening time is “0.04 (seconds)” and the maximum time of each round game is “0.04 (seconds)”. ) Is set to “1.5 (seconds)”, and “1.564 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. This shortened 10R jackpot game has the same prescribed number of rounds (“10 times”) as compared to the 10R jackpot game, but the total opening time of the big winning opening 18 is short, and the opening mode of one round game is one ball. This is a big hit game that is less than one tenth of the launch interval (0.6 s) of the game balls, is extremely difficult to win, and does not substantially play a prize ball.

  In the substantial 10R big hit game, “9 (seconds)” is set as the opening time, and “11 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In addition, “25 (seconds)” is set as the maximum time of the first to tenth round games in the 10R jackpot game, and “2.0 (seconds)” is set as the interval time between the rounds (interval between rounds). Each is set. In addition, “0.04 (seconds)” is the maximum time of round games from the 11th to the 15th round in a real 10R jackpot game, and “1.5 (seconds)” is the interval time between the rounds (interval between rounds). Are set respectively. In this real 10R jackpot game, the opening mode of the first to tenth round games is the same as the 15R jackpot game and the 10R jackpot game, and the opening mode of the eleventh to fifteenth round games is the shortened 10R jackpot game. The same. In this way, the actual 10R jackpot game has the same prescribed number of rounds (“15 times”) as compared to the 15R jackpot game, but the total opening time of the big winning opening 18 is short, so there are substantially fewer prize balls. It is a big hit game to be performed. On the other hand, the actual 10R jackpot game has a larger number of specified rounds (“15 times”) than the 10R jackpot game, but the total opening time of the big prize opening 18 is the same, so the prize is substantially the same. It is a big hit game with a ball.

  Although not shown in FIG. 2, in these jackpot games, “1” is set as the number of times of opening of the big winning opening 18 in each round game, “9 balls” is set as the maximum number of winnings in one round game, Each is set.

  Further, as described above, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol, the 15R jackpot game and the 10R jackpot game are awarded in the second variation game with a higher probability than the first variation game. A real 10R jackpot game and a shortened 10R jackpot game are awarded with a higher probability than the two-variable game. Thus, the 15R jackpot game has a longer total release time than the 10R jackpot game, and the 10R jackpot game has a longer total release time than the shortened 10R jackpot game. The total open time is likely to be longer than that, and it is defined as an advantageous jackpot such that the payout of game balls is increased (can be).

  Also, if you win 15R probability variation big hit, real 10R probability variation big hit, special 10R probability variation big hit, first to third 10R probability variation big hit, or shortened 10R probability variation big hit, after the big hit game is over, the game at the time of winning the big hit lottery Regardless of the state, the probability variation state is given until the next jackpot game is given (shown as “until next time”). On the other hand, when the first to third 10R non-probable big wins are won, the probable change state is not given regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big win lottery after the big hit game ends.

  In addition, after the jackpot game is over, a variable state may be given. In particular, when a variable state is awarded, the next big hit game is granted depending on the type of jackpot game and whether or not the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is a probable state or a variable state. The variable state is given until the maximum number of times is reached until it is played (shown as “until next time”) or until a predetermined number of times the variable game is over. Hereinafter, the upper limit number of times that the variable state is continued is referred to as “variable number of times”, and in particular, when the variable state is not given, the upper limit number of times that the variable state is continued is “0” (also in FIG. 2). Shown as “0 times”).

  If you win 15R probability change big hit, real 10R probability change big hit, or special 10R probability change big hit, regardless of the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery, until the next big hit game is granted ("Next time The change state is given.

  In addition, when winning the first to third 10R probability variation jackpot, if the game state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery is a variable state, whether or not it is in a probability variation state after the end of the jackpot game, Until the next jackpot game is awarded (shown as “until next time”), the variable state is given. On the other hand, when winning the first to third 10R probability variation jackpots, if the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery is in an unchangeable short state, whether or not it is in a probability variation state after the end of the jackpot game. Regardless, the variable state is given with the upper limit number of times (10 times, 20 times, 30 times) until the predetermined number of times the variable game is completed. The specific number of times of change is “30 times” when the first 10R probable big win is won, regardless of whether or not it is in the probable change state when the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is in the non-changeable state. When the second 10R probability variation jackpot is won, it is “20 times”, and when the third 10R probability variation jackpot is won, it is “10 times”.

  In addition, when the first to third 10R non-probable big wins are won, the upper limit number of times (10 times, 20 times) until the predetermined number of variable games is over according to the gaming state at the time of winning the big hit lottery. , 30 times, 50 times, 70 times, and 100 times). Specifically, when the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is an unchangeable short state, regardless of whether or not it is a probable change state, when the first 10R non-probable big win is won, “30 "20 times" when winning the second 10R non-probable big hit, and "10 times" when winning the third 10R non-probable big hit. On the other hand, if the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is a variable state, the number of times of change is “100 times when winning the first 10R non-probable big hit regardless of whether or not it is a probable change state”. ”,“ 70 times ”when winning the second 10R non-probable big hit, and“ 50 times ”winning the third 10R non-probable big hit.

  Also, when winning the shortened 10R probability variable big win, after the big hit game is over, if the game state at the time of winning the big hit lottery is the non-probable change state and the non-variable state, the variable state is not given. . On the other hand, when winning the shortened 10R probability variable jackpot, after the jackpot game is over, if the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot lottery is not a non-probable change state or a non-variable short state, until the next jackpot game is generated (Indicated as “until next time”), the variable state is not given.

  Further, when the small hit symbol classified as the symbol K is displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a as a fixed stop display, or the small hit symbol classified as the symbol k is displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b as a fixed stop display. In the small hit game given at the time, “0 (seconds)” is set as the opening time and “1.612 (seconds)” is set as the ending time. In addition, in the small hit game, “9 balls” is set as the upper limit number (count number) of winning, “10 times” is opened as the number of times the big winning opening 18 is opened, and “0.04 (seconds)” is opened as one opening time. After the opening, “1.5 (seconds)” is set as the interval time. Thus, in the small hit game, the opening / closing time from one opening to the next opening is set to “1.54 (seconds)” consisting of “0.04 (seconds) +1.5 (seconds)”. It will be. In this manner, in the small hit game, the round game in the shortened 10R probability variable big hit game is controlled so that the open mode of the big winning opening 18 is the same.

  In addition, after the small hitting game is over, the gaming state at the time of winning the small hitting lottery is continued. That is, after the end of the small hit game, the probability variation state is continued if the probability variation state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, while the non-probability variation state is continued if the probability variation state is not imparted. In addition, after the small hit game ends, if the variable state is given at the time of winning the small hit lottery, the variable state is continuously given, while if the short state is not given, the variable state is given. do not do.

Here, the display mode of the round display device 21 in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment and the open mode of the big winning opening 18 in the big hit game will be described below with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the 15R jackpot game (symbol A) or the substantial 10R jackpot game (symbol B) is awarded, the round display device 21 notifies that the round game is performed “15 times”. If a 10R jackpot game (symbols C to F, H to J) or a shortened 10R jackpot game (symbol G) is given, a notification that the round game is to be performed “10 times” is made. In addition, when a small hit game (symbol K) is awarded, a notification that a small hit game is to be given is performed. In addition, according to the jackpot symbol allocation, the notification that the round game is to be performed “15 times” and the notification that the round game is to be performed “10 times” are performed with the same probability in the first variation game and the second variation game. It becomes. In the present embodiment, the specified number of rounds of “15” corresponds to the “first number of rounds”, and the specified number of rounds of “10” corresponds to the “number of second rounds”.

  In addition, the round game in the 15R jackpot game and the 10R jackpot game are the same as “25s” and the interval time is “2.0s”, and further, the round game and the interval time in the first to the tenth game of the 10R jackpot game are also the same. It will be the same time. On the other hand, the round game in the shortened 10R big hit game is “0.04s” and the interval time is “1.5s”, and the opening time and the closed time in the small hit game are the same time. The 11th to 15th round games and the interval time are the same.

  In other words, each round game from the first to the 10th round of the 10R jackpot game is released for the first time (25s), like the round time and interval time in each round game of the 15R jackpot game and the 10R jackpot game. Then, it is closed only for the third time (2.0 s). On the other hand, each round game from the 11th to the 15th round of the 10R jackpot game is substantially the same as the round time, interval time, the opening time of the small hit game, and the closing time in each round game of the shortened 10R jackpot game. , It is opened for the second time (0.04 s) and closed for the fourth time (1.5 s).

  In this way, the actual 10R jackpot game has the same number of rounds as the number of game balls that enter the big winning opening 18 compared to the 10R jackpot game that has a different specified number of rounds (10 times). The number of game balls that enter the big prize opening 18 is lower than the 15R big hit game that is 15 times). Therefore, the 15R jackpot game has the same prescribed number of rounds (15 times) as compared to the 10R jackpot game, but the opening mode of the big winning opening 18 is an advantageous opening mode.

  In addition, the 10R jackpot game is substantially equal to the 10R jackpot game in the degree of game balls entering the big prize opening 18. Therefore, even when the round display device 21 notifies that the round game is performed “15 times”, compared with the case where the notification that the round game is performed “10 times” is performed, In some cases, the degree of game balls entering the big prize opening 18 is the same.

  Therefore, even if a notification that the round game is performed “15 times” is made, in order to specify whether or not the 15R big hit game is granted or the real 10R big hit game is given, Attention can be given to the opening mode of the mouth 18. On the other hand, even if the degree of game balls entering the big winning opening 18 is the same, by assigning a 10R big hit game or a 10R big hit game, it is possible to give a probable change state. Therefore, it is possible to give attention to the round display device 21.

  Further, the shortened 10R big hit game has the same open mode of the big prize opening 18 as the small hit game, and the degree of game balls entering the big prize opening 18 is the same, but the same prescribed number of rounds ( The number of game balls entering the big prize opening 18 is lower than that of the 10R jackpot game that is 10 times. Therefore, the 10R jackpot game has the same specified number of rounds (10 times) as compared with the shortened 10R jackpot game, but the opening mode of the big winning opening 18 is an advantageous opening mode.

  On the other hand, even if the degree of game balls entering the big prize opening 18 is unfavorable, when a notification that the round game is to be performed “10 times” is given, a shortened 10R jackpot game is awarded. Since it is possible to specify whether or not the provision of the probability variation state is confirmed, it is possible to give attention to the round display device 21 together with the opening state of the special winning opening 18.

  Further, the shortened 10R big hit game is equivalent to the small hit game and the degree of the game ball entering the big winning opening 18. For this reason, even when the round display device 21 notifies that the round game is performed “10 times”, it is a big prize compared to the case where the notification that the small hit game is given is performed. There is a case where the game balls enter the mouth 18 at the same degree.

  Therefore, even when a notification that the round game is performed “10 times” is made, in order to specify whether the 10R jackpot game is given or the shortened 10R jackpot game is given, Attention can be given to the opening mode of the mouth 18. On the other hand, the open mode of the big prize opening 18 is the same, and even if the degree of game balls entering the big prize opening 18 is the same, a shortened 10R big hit game or a small hit game is given. The round display device 21 can be given attention to identify whether or not it is.

  In this embodiment, the 15R jackpot game is “first jackpot game”, the 10R jackpot game is “second jackpot game”, the 10R jackpot game is “third jackpot game”, and the shortened 10R jackpot game is “ It corresponds to "4th big hit game", respectively. Further, in this embodiment, the 15R probability variation big hit is “first big hit”, the actual 10R probability variation big hit is “second big hit”, the first 10R positive variation big hit is “third big hit”, and the first 10R non-probable variation. The big hit corresponds to the “fourth big hit”, and the shortened 10R probability variable big hit corresponds to the “fifth big hit”.

  Next, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, 10R jackpot game (symbols C to F, H to J) is shown, 15R jackpot game (symbol A), real 10R jackpot game (symbol B), shortened 10R jackpot game (symbol G), small The winning game (symbol H) is omitted. In addition, as the types of jackpot games, the probability variation jackpots (designs C to F) to which a probability variation state is given after the end of the jackpot game are indicated by circles, and the non-probability variation jackpots (symbols H to J) to which the probability variation state is not imparted are square. Shown with a mark.

  First, the number of times of change when a 10R jackpot is won when the gaming state at the time of winning is an unchangeable state will be described below. In this case, it does not matter whether or not the gaming state at the time of winning is a certain change state.

  If the third 10R non-probable big hit (symbol F) or the third 10R non-probable big jackpot (symbol J) is won in the non-variable short state, the number of shorts and shorts will be “10” after the big hit game is over. Become. In addition, if the second 10R non-probable big hit (symbol E) or the second 10R non-probable big jackpot (symbol I) is won in the non-variable short state, the number of short / short times will be “20 times” after the big hit game ends. " In addition, when the first 10R probability change big hit (symbol D) or the first 10R non-probable change big hit (symbol H) is won in the non-changed short state, the number of change times is “30 times” after the end of the big hit game. " In addition, when a special 10R probable big hit (symbol C) is won in a non-changeable state, the changed state is given until the next big hit game is generated after the end of the big hit game. .

  As a specific example, if the game state at the time of winning is an unchangeable short state and the 10R big win is won in the first variable game, the 10R big game is over and then the variable is changed 10 times. The state may end. In this case, it can be specified that the third 10R probability variation big hit (symbol F) or the third 10R non-probable variation big hit (symbol J) is won in the non-variable short state. Then, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol in the first variation game shown in FIG. 2, the third 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol F) is won with a probability of 13/35, and the probability variation state is given.

  Also, if the game state at the time of winning is a non-changeable state, if the 10R big win is won in the first variable game, the 10V big game is over and the variable state is not finished in 10 variable games. Even in the eleventh variation game, the variable state may continue. In this case, it is possible to specify that the third 10R non-probable big hit (symbol F) or the third 10R non-probable big hit (symbol J) is not won in the non-variable short state. Then, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol in the first variation game shown in FIG. 2, a special 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol C), the first 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol D), or the second with a probability of 20/33. The 10R probability variation big hit game (symbol E) is won and the probability variation state is given.

  Similarly, in the case where the game state at the time of winning is an unchangeable state, if the 10R jackpot is won in the first variable game, the 10R jackpot game ends and then the variable state ends in 20 variable games. There is a case. In this case, it can be specified that the second 10R non-probable big hit (symbol E) or the second 10R non-probable big jackpot (symbol I) is won in the non-variable short state. Then, according to the jackpot symbol distribution in the first variation game shown in FIG. 2, the probability of 14/25 wins the second 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol E), and the probability variation state is given.

  In addition, when the game state at the time of winning is a non-variable state, if the 10R big hit is won in the first variable game, the short state is not finished in 20 variable games after the 10R big hit game is over. The variable state may continue even in the 21st variable game. In this case, it can be determined that the second 10R non-probable big hit (symbol E) or the second 10R non-probable big jackpot (symbol I) is not won in the non-variable short state. Then, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol in the first variation game shown in FIG. 2, the special 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol C) or the first 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol D) is won with a probability of 6/8. The probability variation state is given.

  Similarly, in the case where the game state at the time of winning is the non-variable state, if the 10R big hit is won in the first variable game, the short state is changed in 30 variable games after the 10R big hit game is over. May end. In this case, it can be specified that the first 10R probability variation big hit (symbol D) or the first 10R non-probable variation big hit (symbol H) is won in the non-variable short state. Then, according to the jackpot symbol distribution in the first variation game shown in FIG. 2, the first 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol D) is won with a probability of 4/6, and the probability variation state is given.

  In addition, when the game state at the time of winning is a non-changeable state, when the 10R big win is won in the first variable game, the shortage state does not end in 30 variable games after the 10R big hit game ends. Even in the 31st variation game, the variation state may continue. In this case, it can be specified that the first 10R probability variation big hit (symbol D) or the first 10R uncertain variation big hit (symbol H) is not won in the non-variable short state. Then, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol in the first variation game shown in FIG. 2, it is determined that the special 10R probability variable jackpot game (symbol C) is won and the probability variation state is given.

  On the other hand, in the case where the gaming state at the time of winning is a variable state, the number of times of reduction when winning a 10R jackpot will be described below. Even in this case, it does not matter whether or not the gaming state at the time of winning is a probable change state.

  If the third 10R non-probable big hit game (symbol J) is won in the variable state, the number of times of change becomes “50” after the big hit game ends. Also, if the second 10R non-probable big hit game (symbol I) is won in the variable state, the number of times of change becomes “70” after the big hit game ends, and the first 10R non-probable big hit game ( In the case of winning the symbol H), the number of times of change becomes “100” after the end of the big hit game. In addition, if you win a special 10R probability variable big hit game (symbol C) or first to third 10R probability variable big hit games (symbols D to F) in the short state, the next big hit game will be played after the big hit game ends. Until this occurs, a variable state is given.

  As a specific example, in the case where the game state at the time of winning is a variable state, if 10R big hit is won in the second variable game, after 10R big hit game is over, the variable state is changed in 50 variable games. May end. In this case, it can be determined that the third 10R non-probable big hit (symbol j) is won in the variable state, and it is determined that the probable state is not given.

  In addition, when the game state at the time of winning is a variable state, when the 10R big hit is won in the second variable game, the short state is not finished in 50 variable games after the 10R big hit game is ended. Even in the 51st variation game, the variation state may continue. In this case, it can be specified that the third 10R non-probable big hit (symbol j) is not won in the variable state. Then, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol in the second variation game shown in FIG. 2, the special 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol c) or the first 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol d) is won with a probability of 45/60. The probability variation state is given.

  Similarly, when the game state at the time of winning is a variable state, if the 10R big hit is won in the second variable game, the variable state is ended in 70 variable games after the 10R big hit game is over. There is a case. In this case, it can be determined that the second 10R non-probable big hit (symbol i) is won in the variable state, and it is determined that the probable state is not given.

  In addition, when the game state at the time of winning is a variable state, when the 10R big hit is won in the second variable game, the short state is not finished in 70 variable games after the 10R big hit game is ended. Even in the 71st variation game, the variation state may continue. In this case, it can be specified that the second 10R non-probable big hit (symbol i) is not won in the variable state. Then, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol in the second variation game shown in FIG. 2, the special 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol c) or the first 10R probability variable bonus game (symbol d) is won with a probability of 45/50. The probability variation state is given.

  Similarly, in the case where the game state at the time of winning is a variable state, if the 10R big hit is won in the second variable game, after the 10R big hit game is over, the variable state is changed in 100 variable games. May end. In this case, it can be specified that the first 10R non-probable big hit (symbol h) is won in the variable state, and it is determined that the probable state is not given.

  In addition, when the game state at the time of winning is a variable state, when the 10R big hit game is won in the second variable game, the short state is not finished in 100 variable games after the 10R big hit game ends, Even in the 101st variation game, the variation state may continue. In this case, it can be specified that the first 10R non-probable big hit (symbol h) is not won in the variable state. Then, according to the distribution of the jackpot symbol in the second variation game shown in FIG. 2, the special 10R probability variable big hit game (symbol c) or the first 10R probability variable big hit game (symbol d) is won, and the probability variation state is given. It will be confirmed that

  As described above, when the game state at the time of winning is the non-variable state, when a 10R big hit game is awarded, it is difficult to specify whether or not the probable change state has been given based on the number of times of change. In particular, when the variable state ends in 10 times, 20 times, and 30 times of the variable game, it is not until the variable state continues in the variable game of 31 times or more without confirming that the certainly variable state is given. , It is determined that the probability variation state is given. In addition, when the variable state ends in 30 variable games, the probability change state is more likely to be given than when the variable state ends in 20 variable games. In the case where the variable state ends, it is more likely that a certain variable state is given than when the variable state ends in ten variable games. For this reason, if the variable state continues, there is a high possibility that a certain variable state is given in addition to the continuation of the variable state. In other words, in the case of the non-changeable state at the time of winning, the probability change probability that suggests that the probability change state is given after the end of the 10R big hit game is higher as the number of times of change after the 10R big hit game ends is higher. Become.

  On the other hand, when the game state at the time of winning is a variable state, when a 10R big hit game is awarded, it is possible to specify whether or not a certain change state has been given from the number of times of change. In particular, when the variable state is completed in 50, 70, and 100 variation games, it is determined that the probability variation state is not given, and the probability variation is not performed until the variation state is continued in 101 or more variation games. It is confirmed that the state is given. Also, when the variable state ends in 100 variable games, the probability change state is more likely to be given than when the variable state ends in 70 variable games. In the case where the variable state ends, it is more likely that the certain variable state is given than when the variable state ends in 50 variable games. For this reason, if the variable state continues, there is a high possibility that a certain variable state is given in addition to the continuation of the variable state. In other words, in the case of a variable state at the time of winning, the probability that the probability change state is given after the end of the 10R big hit game becomes higher as the number of times of change after the end of the 10R big hit game is higher. .

  As an example, if 10R big win is won in the non-variable state (first win), and then 10R big win is won in the variable state without winning the non-variable state (second win). After the first winning, it is easier to specify whether or not a certain change state is given from the number of times of change than after the second winning. In other words, after the first win, it is difficult to specify whether or not the probability variation state has been granted, and although it is a relatively unfavorable situation for the player, it depends on whether or not the probability variation state has been granted. It offers a game that raises expectations. On the other hand, after the second winning, it is easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state has been granted, and it is a relatively advantageous situation for the player, and in the same way, when winning the 10R jackpot Even so, it becomes easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state has been given step by step.

  Thus, in the case of winning 10R jackpots with a certain probability change state and 10R jackpots without a certain probability change state, if the winning state is the non-variable state at the time of winning, the number of times of change is the same, while the winning number is changed at the time of winning. When the state is short, the number of times of change is changed. In addition, the combination of 10R jackpots, which has a large number of times of change in the case of being in an unchangeable state at the time of winning, has a large number of times of change in the case of being in an invariable state at the time of winning, and is small in the case of being in an unchangeable state at the time of winning. The combination of 10R jackpots that will be the number of times of change will result in a small number of times of change in the case of being in the state of change when winning.

  In addition, if the winning state is variable at the time of winning, the same number of changes ("until next time") will be used regardless of which of the first to third 10R probability variable big hits, and at the time of winning the special 10R probability variable big hit. It will be the same variable number of times. On the other hand, when the winning state is the variable state at the time of winning, the number of times of changing is changed for each of the winning jackpots among the first to third 10R non-probable big hits, and the special 10R probability changing big hit or the first to third The number of times of change is smaller than when winning the 10R probability change big hit.

  In addition, the second variation game wins the special 10R probability variation big hit, the first 10R probability variation big hit, or the first 10 non-probability big hit with a higher probability than the first variation game. With a probability higher than that of the second variation game, the player wins the second 10R probability variation big hit, the second 10 non-probable variation big hit, the third 10R probability variation big hit, or the third 10 non-probability big hit. For this reason, the second variation game that is easy to be executed in the variable state has more variable times than the first variable game that is likely to be executed in the non-variable state, and a certain variation state is given from the variable number of times. It is easy to specify whether or not the player is playing, which is advantageous for the player.

  In the present embodiment, the 10R jackpot game corresponds to a “specific jackpot game”. Further, in the present embodiment, the special 10R probability variation jackpot is “special probability variation jackpot”, the first 10R probability variation jackpot is “first probability variation jackpot”, the “specific probability variation jackpot”, and the first 10R non-probability variation jackpot is “first”. The “1 non-probable big hit”, the “specific non-probable big hit”, the second 10R probable big hit corresponds to the “second probable big hit”, and the second 10R non-probable big hit corresponds to the “second non-probable big hit”. In the present embodiment, any one of the first to third 10R probability variation big hits and the first to third 10R non-probability big hits corresponds to the “specific big hit”. In this embodiment, the number of times of change of 30 times is “first time of change”, the number of times of change of 20 (or 10) is “second time of change”, and the next big hit is The number of times of change until the next time the change state is given until it occurs is equivalent to the “special number of changes”.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine is disposed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment. The main control board 30 as main control means executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results. In addition, an overall control board 31 and a display control board 32 are disposed on the rear side of the machine. The overall control board 31 as the effect control means controls the display control board 32 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30. The display control board 32 as an effect control means is based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30 and the overall control board 31 (display pattern, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). Control the display image etc.).

Here, specific configurations of the main control board 30, the overall control board 31, and the display control board 32 will be described below.
First, the main control board 30 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  The main control board 30 has a main control CPU 30a for executing control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 30b for storing a main control program for the main control CPU 30a, and a main control capable of writing and reading necessary data. A RAM 30c is provided. The main control CPU 30a is connected to various switches SW1 to SW4 so that detection signals output by detecting the game balls can be input. The main control CPU 30a includes a first special symbol display device 12a, a second special symbol display device 12b, a first special symbol hold display device 13a, a second special symbol hold display device 13b, a normal symbol display device 20, and a round. The display device 21, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1, and the special prize opening solenoid SOL2 are connected.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a executes a random number update process (random number generation process) for updating various random number values such as a hit determination random number, a special figure distribution random number, and a reach determination random number every predetermined cycle. To do. The winning determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery (big hit determination) and the small hit lottery (small hit determination). The special figure distribution random number is a random number used in determining a special figure that becomes a big hit symbol. The reach determination random number is a random number used in the reach lottery (reach determination) to determine whether or not to form a reach in the case of not winning the big win in the big win lottery. The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the main control RAM 30c stores a normal hit determination random number used for determining whether or not the normal game is a normal win.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program and various determination values (such as a big hit determination value and a reach determination value). The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the jackpot lottery, and is determined from numerical values (all 65536 integers from 0 to 65535) that the hit determination random number can take. In the present embodiment, 221 values are set as the big hit determination value in the non-probable change state, and the probability of winning in the big win lottery is 221/65536. The value is set, and the probability of winning in the big win lottery is 2210/65536. The reach determination value is a determination value used in internal lottery (reach determination) as to whether or not to form a reach when determining a loss, and is a numerical value that can be taken by a random number for reach determination (all 241 from 0 to 240). It is determined from the (integer of the street).

  The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a pattern that is a base of the production (game production) from the start of the variation game to the end of the variation game, and includes the variation content (production content) and the variation time (production time) of the variation game. Can be specified (specified). In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of variation patterns can be classified into a variation pattern for big hit variation, a variation pattern for probability variation suggestion variation, a variation pattern for outlier reach variation, and a variation pattern for outlier variation. The jackpot variation is a variation that is performed when it is determined that a 15R jackpot game, a 10R jackpot game, or a 10R jackpot game is awarded. In the effect display device 11, the reachable game is finally hit by a reach game. An effect that is developed so as to display the symbols to be confirmed and stopped is executed. The probability variation suggestion variation is a variation that is performed when it is determined that a shortened 10R big hit game or a small hit game is awarded. In the effect display device 11, after the reach effect, the variable game is finally a big hit symbol or small An effect that is developed so that the winning symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state is executed. The loss reach variation is a variation performed when it is determined that the big hit game and the small hit game are not given, and in the effect display device 11, the variable game is finally stopped and the symbols are stopped and displayed through the reach effect. An effect that is developed in this way is executed. The deviation variation is a variation performed when it is determined that the big hit game and the small hit game are not given, and the effect display device 11 does not go through the reach effect, and the variable game finally displays the stop symbol in a fixed stop state. An effect that is developed so as to be performed is executed.

  In the present embodiment, when the 15R jackpot game, the 10R jackpot game, or the 10R jackpot game is determined, the same variation pattern for the jackpot variation is determined. Therefore, it is not possible to specify which of 15R jackpot game, real 10R jackpot game, and 10R jackpot game is given from the contents of the effect of the variable game. Further, in the present embodiment, when the shortened 10R big hit game or the small hit game is determined, the same variation pattern for the probability change suggestion change is determined. Therefore, it is not possible to specify which of the shortened 10 big hit games and the small hit game is given from the contents of the effect of the variable game.

Next, the overall control board 31 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The overall control board 31 has an overall control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an overall control ROM 31b that stores an overall control program for the overall control CPU 31a, and overall control that can write and read necessary data. A RAM 31c is provided. The general control RAM 31c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. A display control board 32 is connected to the overall control CPU 31a. When receiving various control commands, the overall control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

  In addition, an effect button 70 is connected to the overall control CPU 31a, and an operation signal can be input from the effect button 70. That is, the overall control CPU 31a can detect that the effect button 70 has been operated.

Next, the display control board 32 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The display control board 32 has a display control CPU 32a for executing a display control operation in a predetermined procedure, a display control ROM 32b for storing a display control program of the display control CPU 32a, and a display capable of writing and reading necessary data. A control RAM 32c is provided. The display control ROM 32b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters and characters). The display control RAM 32c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random numbers, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the display operation of the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, the effect display device 11 is connected to the display control CPU 32a. When various control commands are input, the display control CPU 32a executes various controls based on the display control program.

Here, the fluctuation pattern in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a variation pattern that specifies a variation time of a variation game is set as the variation pattern. Specifically, the variation time is defined as 12 (seconds) for the variation pattern P11A and 56 (seconds) for the variation pattern P14.

  These variation patterns are selected mainly depending on the current gaming state, the type of hit game (big hit game and small hit game) to be given, and whether or not the reach effect is executed. Specifically, variation patterns P14, P24, P34, and P44 are defined as variation patterns for big hit variation. In addition, variation patterns P13, P23, P33, and P43 are defined as variation patterns for probability variation suggestion variation. In addition, the fluctuation patterns P12, P22, P32, and P42 are defined as fluctuation patterns for outlier reach fluctuation. Further, the fluctuation patterns P11A, P11B, P21, P31, P41A, and P41B are defined as fluctuation patterns for deviation fluctuation.

  The variation patterns P11A, P11B, and P12 to P14 are defined as variation patterns for non-variation that are selected when the variation state is not given, and variation patterns P21 to P24, P31 to P34, and P41A. , P41B, P42 to P44 are defined as variation patterns for variation that are selected when the variation state is provided. Further, all these variation patterns are variation patterns that are selected regardless of whether or not the probability variation state is given.

  The variation pattern P11B is a variation pattern that shortens the variation time of the variation pattern P11A, and the variation pattern P41B is a variation pattern that shortens the variation time of the variation pattern P41A. These variation patterns P11B and P41B are variation patterns in which the time until the symbols (decorative drawings) in the left column and the right column are stopped and displayed is shortened as compared with the variation patterns P11A and P41A. The same effect will be executed from the time when the symbols in the row are temporarily displayed until the end of the variable game. The variation patterns P11A, P11B, P41A, and P41B are variation patterns that are determined according to the number of reserved storage. In addition, as the number of reserved memories increases, a variation pattern in which the variation time is shortened is determined.

  Among the variation patterns that are selected when the variable state is given, the variation pattern P41A that is selected at the normal time (when the first special condition and the second special condition are not satisfied). , P41B, P42 to P44. On the other hand, there are fluctuation patterns P21 to P24 selected when the first special condition is satisfied, and fluctuation patterns P31 to P34 selected when the second special condition is satisfied.

  This special condition (including the first special condition and the second special condition) is that after the change from the non-variable state to the variable state after the big win, the variable state is given, and It is a condition that a variable game of up to 30 times is executed. That is, the special condition is not satisfied when the winning state is the changing state, when the changing state is finished, or when the changing game is 31 or more times.

  Further, the first special condition is that a special condition is established, and after changing from the non-changeable state to the changed state, the changed state is given, and the variable game (specific symbol change) for a specific number of times. Game). On the other hand, the second special condition means that a special condition is established, a variable state is given after the non-variable state is changed to a variable state, and a variable game other than the specific number of times is given. It is conditional on being executed. The specific number of times of the change game is the change game after the change from the non-change / change state to the change / change state, and is the 10th, 20th, and 30th change games. That is, the specific number of times of the variation game corresponds to a plurality of predetermined number of times of change (10 times, 20 times, 30 times) and immediately before the assigned time change state may end. It is a floating game.

  In addition, the variation patterns P21 to P24, the variation patterns P31 to P34, and the variation patterns P41A, P41B, and P42 to P44 are defined with different variation patterns without overlapping all the variation patterns that constitute each. Yes. That is, these variation pattern groups are each composed of dedicated variation patterns.

  In the present embodiment, the specific number of fluctuation games corresponds to the “specific symbol fluctuation game”. Further, in the present embodiment, the state in which the variable state is given regardless of whether the probability change state is given or not is equivalent to the “specific game state”. That is, in the present embodiment, the same gaming state of the probability variation state and the variation state may be continued, or the same gaming state of the non-probability variation state and the variation state may be continued. In the present embodiment, the variation patterns P21 to P24, P31 to P34 are “special variation content group”, in particular, the variation patterns P21 to P24 are “first variation content group”, and the variation patterns P31 to P34 are “first variation content”. The variation patterns P41A, P41B, and P42 to P44 correspond to the “non-special variation content group”, respectively.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described below. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes every predetermined control cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment). In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a that executes various processes described below functions as a big hit determining means, a hit determining means, a small hit determining means, a variation content determining means, a game number counting means, and a game state control means. The main control RAM 30c functions as a holding storage means.

First, the special symbol input process will be described below.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has won the first start winning opening 14 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the first start opening switch SW1. When the determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number “4”. When the first reserved memory number is less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the first reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30a that has updated the first reserved memory number (added “1”) controls the display content of the first special symbol hold display device 13a so as to display the updated first updated memory number (after addition). To do. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads and obtains various random number values (such as the hit determination random number value in the present embodiment) from the main control RAM 30c, and acquires the values from the main control corresponding to the first reserved memory number. To a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the game ball does not win the first start winning opening 14, or when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 14, but the first reserved memory number is not less than "4", the main control CPU 30a Based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the second start opening switch SW2, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the second start winning opening 15. When this determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the second reserved storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number “4”. When the second reserved memory number is not less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is less than “4”, the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the second reserved memory number. The main control CPU 30a that has updated the second reserved memory number ("1" added) controls the display content of the second special symbol hold display device 13b so as to display the updated second updated memory number (after addition). To do. Next, the main control CPU 30a reads out and acquires various random number values (in this embodiment, such as a hit determination random number value) from the main control RAM 30c, and acquires the value from the main control corresponding to the second reserved memory number. To a predetermined storage area of the RAM 30c. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described below.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines an execution condition as to whether or not a variable game is being executed or a big hit game is being executed. If this determination result is affirmative (during a variable game or a big hit game), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if this determination result is negative (not in a variable game and not in a big hit game), the main control CPU 30a has the second reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c “0”. The second hold determination process for determining whether or not the value is larger than the threshold value is executed. When the second reserved memory number is “1” or more, the second reserved symbol number is subtracted by “1”, and the second special symbol hold display device 13b is displayed so as to display the updated (after subtraction) second reserved memory number. Controls the display content of. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes a second jackpot determination process.

  On the other hand, when the second reserved memory number is “0”, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first reserved memory number stored in the main control RAM 30c is larger than “0”. The first hold determination process is executed. When the first reserved memory number is “1” or more, the first special symbol hold display device 13a displays the first reserved memory number after the update (after subtraction) by subtracting “1” from the first reserved memory number. Controls the display content of. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes a first big hit determination process.

  As described above, when both the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number are “1” or more, the main control CPU 30a plays the second variation game by giving priority to the second big hit determination process. It will be executed preferentially.

  In the first big hit determination process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the first reserved storage number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a compares the hit determination random number associated with the first reserved storage number with the jackpot determination value, and determines whether or not both values match. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning probability of winning for the variable game (the first variable game and the second variable game) in the low probability state in the non-probable change state (2211/65536 in the present embodiment). In the probability variation state, the big hit determination is performed in a high probability state (2210/65536 in this embodiment).

  If the determination result of this big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the big hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a big hit, and the first big hit for executing the variable game that is a big hit Perform time variation processing. In the first big hit time variation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the special figure distribution random number associated with the first reserved storage number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the value of the special figure distribution random number, The jackpot symbol is determined as a special symbol (final stop symbol) to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined jackpot symbol, reads the value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and determines a variation pattern corresponding to the type of jackpot game based on the value. To do. Specifically, when the type of jackpot game is identified as 15R jackpot game, substantially 10R jackpot game, or 10R jackpot game, the main control CPU 30a selects one of the variation patterns for jackpot variation. ,decide. On the other hand, if the main control CPU 30a identifies the shortened 10R big hit game, it selects and determines one of the variation patterns for the probability variation suggestion variation. The main control CPU 30a also determines the variation pattern based on whether or not the special conditions (first special condition and second special condition) are satisfied in the following various variation processes. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the random number for hit determination with the small hit determination value, and determines whether or not both values match. . In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a sets the first hit probability of the first variation game at a predetermined probability (2211/65536 in this embodiment) regardless of whether or not the probability change state. Regardless of whether or not the small fluctuation probability of the two-variable game is in the probability variation state, the small hit determination is performed with a predetermined probability (in this embodiment, 1/65536).

  If the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the small hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a small hit, reads the value from the probability change flag and the operation flag, Based on this value, a first small hit variation process is executed to execute a small hit game. In the first small hit time variation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the special figure distribution random number value associated with the first reserved memory number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the special figure distribution random number value. Then, a small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines one of the variation patterns for the probability variation suggestion variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a specifies a deviation from the fact that the value of the random number for hit determination is not a value corresponding to the big hit or the small hit. Therefore, the main control CPU 30a reads the reach determination random number value associated with the first reserved storage number, compares the reach determination random number value with the reach determination value, and determines whether the two values match. Make a reach determination. Note that the reach determination value is determined depending on whether or not a probability variation state or a variation state is given, and a different value depending on the total number of pending storage after subtraction, and the probability of determining whether or not to execute the reach effect May be different.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach determination, and therefore executes a first reach variation process for executing a variable game that causes a variation in reach reach. In the first reach variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display device 12a, reads a value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and based on the value , One of the fluctuation patterns for fluctuation of the outlier reach is selected and determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a does not win the reach determination, and therefore executes the first shift variation process for executing the variable game that causes the shift variation. . In the first deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as a special symbol to be displayed on the first special symbol display device 12a with a fixed stop. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads values from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and selects and determines one of the variation patterns for deviation variation based on the values. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, in the second big hit determination process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the random number for hit determination stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the second reserved storage number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a compares the hit determination random number associated with the second reserved storage number with the jackpot determination value, and determines whether or not both values match.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets "1" to the big hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a big hit, and the second big hit for executing the variable game that is a big hit Perform time variation processing. In the second big hit time fluctuation process, the main control CPU 30a reads the value of the special figure distribution random number associated with the second reserved memory number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the value of the special figure distribution random number, The big hit symbol is determined as a special symbol (final stop symbol) to be displayed on the second special symbol display device 12b. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game from the determined jackpot symbol, reads the value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and determines a variation pattern corresponding to the type of jackpot game based on the value. To do. Specifically, when the type of jackpot game is identified as 15R jackpot game or 10R jackpot game, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines one of the variation patterns for jackpot variation. In the second variation game, the 10R jackpot game is not actually won. Further, since the shortened 10R jackpot game is not won in the second variation game, the main control CPU 30a does not select any one of the variation patterns for the probability variation suggestion variation in this process. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the random number for hit determination with the small hit determination value, and determines whether or not both values match. .
If the determination result of the small hit determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the small hit flag indicating that the game is a variable game that is a small hit, reads the value from the probability change flag and the operation flag, Based on this value, a second small hit variation process for executing a small hit game is executed. In the second small hit variation processing, the main control CPU 30a reads the special figure distribution random number value associated with the second reserved memory number from the main control RAM 30c, and based on the special figure distribution random number value. Then, a small hit symbol is determined as a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines one of the variation patterns for the probability variation suggestion variation. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the small hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a specifies a deviation from the fact that the value of the random number for hit determination is not a value corresponding to the big hit or the small hit. Therefore, the main control CPU 30a reads the reach determination random number value associated with the second reserved storage number, compares the reach determination random number value with the reach determination value, and determines whether the two values match. Make a reach determination.

  If the determination result of the reach determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a has won the reach determination, and therefore executes a second reach variation process for executing a variable game that results in a loss reach fluctuation. In the second reach variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b, reads a value from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and based on the value , One of the fluctuation patterns for fluctuation of the outlier reach is selected and determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the reach determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a has not won the reach determination, and therefore executes the second shift variation process for executing the variable game that causes the shift variation. . In the second deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines a deviation symbol as a special figure to be confirmed and stopped on the second special symbol display device 12b. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads values from the probability variation flag and the operation flag, and selects and determines one of the variation patterns for deviation variation based on the values. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a sends a control command generated according to the determined items determined in the special symbol start process to the general control board 31 (general control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Output. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command instructing the variation pattern and instructing the start of the variation game at the start of the variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special figure designation command for designating a special figure, after outputting the variation pattern designation command. In addition, the main control CPU 30a outputs a total symbol stop command to the overall control board 31 when displaying the special symbol fixed stop.

  As described above, when the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit, after the end of the variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main control CPU 30a starts controlling the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol, A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the 31 central control CPU 31a. The main control CPU 30a outputs an opening command when the variable game ends. The main control CPU 30a outputs a round command every time a round starts. The main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command after the interval time has elapsed when the round game of the last round is completed. Then, after the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a sets (clears) the jackpot flag to “0” and ends the jackpot game. When the main control CPU 30a is won, the main control CPU 30a outputs an opening signal when opening the big winning opening 18, and outputs a closing signal when closing the big winning opening 18.

The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state related to the probability changing state and the variable state by controlling the probability changing flag, the operating flag, or the number of operations.
Specifically, the main control CPU 30a clears the probability variation flag, the operation flag, and the number of operations (sets “0”) at the start of the big hit game, regardless of the type of the big hit game. This number of operations is a counter for counting the number of times that the variable state is given.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag when the probability variation state is to be imparted after the big hit game is finished, and sets “0” to the probability variation flag when the probability variation state is not imparted. Set.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the operation flag indicating that the variable state is to be given, and does not give the variable state, when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game. In this case, “0” is set in the operation flag. Then, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a variable length designation command corresponding to the operation flag to the overall control board 31. The change designation command is a command indicating whether or not a change state is given.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a is provided with a variable state with a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, or 100) as the upper limit number of times. Sets the value indicating the number of operations as a number of operations in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” for the number of operations for each variable game (at the end of the variable game), and when the value becomes “0”, clears the operation flag (sets “0”), A change end command is output to the overall control board 31. This change end command is a command indicating that the change state has ended. Further, when the variable state is given until the next big hit game occurs, the main control CPU 30a sets data indicating that in the main control RAM 30c.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 30a wins the 10R jackpot in the non-changeable state, the main control CPU 30a counts a plurality of predetermined number of times of change (in order to count the number of variable games executed after the end of the 10R jackpot game ( In the present embodiment, a value indicating 10 times, 20 times, and 30 times) is set in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c as the number of times after the variable speed entry. The number of times after entering the variable speed is a counter for counting a variable game executed after shifting from the non-variable state to the variable state in response to the winning of the big hit that gives 10R big hit game.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a receives the first 10R probability variation big hit or the first 10R non-probability big hit when the number of times of variation becomes 10 when the gaming state at the time of winning is the non-variable short state. When winning, “10” is set to the number of times after entering the variable speed in the main control RAM 30c. Further, when the winning game state is the non-changeable state, the main control CPU 30a wins the second 10R probability variable big hit or the second 10R non-probable big hit that the number of times of change is 20 times. Then, “20” is set as the number of times after the variable speed entry in the main control RAM 30c. In addition, when the game state at the time of winning is the non-changeable state, the main control CPU 30a wins the first 10R probability change big hit or the first 10R non-changeable big hit that the number of times of change is 30 times. Then, “30” is set as the number of times after the variable speed entry in the main control RAM 30c. On the other hand, when the game state at the time of winning is the non-changeable state, the main control CPU 30a wins the special 10R probability change big hit that is given the changeable state until the next big hit game occurs. Then, “30” is set as the number of times after the variable speed entry in the main control RAM 30c.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” for each variable game (after the end of the variable game) until the number of times after the variable speed entry is “0”. As described above, when the number of times of change is 10, 20, or 30, the number of times of the variable game is counted until the time of change of the state is completed, and the state of change is also found in the 31st time of change game. Even if it is continued, the number of times of the variation game is counted up to 30 variation games. Further, the main control CPU 30a clears the number of times after entering the variable speed (sets “0”) at the start of the big hit game, regardless of the type of the big hit game.

  In the above various variation processes, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern corresponding to whether or not a certain variation state and a variation state are given based on values read from the certain variation flag and the operation flag. did. Here, various variation processes executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described below with reference to FIG. These various fluctuation processes are processes for determining a fluctuation pattern.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 30a reads a value from the operation flag assigned to the main control RAM 30c, and determines whether or not it is in a variable state based on the value (step S61). ). If the determination result in step S61 is negative (not the variable state), the main control CPU 30a selects a variable pattern from the non-variable variable pattern group (step S62), and ends the various variable processes. The non-variable short-time variation pattern group includes variation patterns P11A, P11B, and P12 to P14. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S61 is affirmative (it is a variable state), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S63.

  In step S63, the main control CPU 30a reads a value from the number of times after the variable speed change assigned to the main control RAM 30c, and determines whether or not the first special condition is satisfied based on the value. This first special condition is satisfied when the number of times after entering the variable speed is “1”, “11”, “21”, and after the winning of 10R jackpot is won, the non-variable state is changed to the variable state. This is established when the game is a variable game until the continuation or end of the variable state is confirmed and is a specific number of times of the variable game. As a specific example, when the number of times of change is 30, the change state may end, such as the 10th, 20th, and 30th change games after the end of the big hit game. The first special condition is established in the variable game.

  If the determination result in step S63 is affirmative (the first special condition is satisfied), the main control CPU 30a selects a variation pattern from the first special variation pattern group (step S64), and ends the various variation processes. . The first special variation pattern group is the variation patterns P21 to P24. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S63 is negative (the first special condition is not satisfied), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S65.

  In step S65, the main control CPU 30a reads a value from the number of times after the variable speed change assigned to the main control RAM 30c, and determines whether the second special condition is satisfied based on the value. This second special condition is satisfied when the number of times after entering the variable speed is not “0”, “1”, “11”, “21”, and from the non-variable state to the variable state when the 10R jackpot is won. It is established when the game is a variable game within the specified number of times until the continuation or end of the variable state is confirmed, and is not the specific number of times of the variable game. As a specific example, when the number of times of change is 30, the state of change such as the first to ninth games, the 11th to 19th games, and the 21st to 29th game changes after the jackpot game ends. The second special condition is satisfied in the variable game that is unlikely to be ended.

  In addition, when the number of times after entering the change is “0”, the change after the change or change state is confirmed after the change from the non-change state to the change state triggered by the winning of 10R jackpot It is a game, and special conditions (first special condition and second special condition) are not satisfied. As a specific example, when the number of times of change is 10, the special condition is not satisfied in the change game in which the change state has ended, such as the 11th and subsequent change games. In addition, when the number of times of change is up to the next time, when the change state continues until the occurrence of the next big hit game, such as the 31st and subsequent variable games after the end of the big hit game, the change occurs. Even in a fluctuating game where it is determined that the short state does not end, the special condition is not satisfied. In addition, when the game state at the time of winning is a variable shortage state, when winning a 10R big hit game, at the start of the 10R big hit game, the number of times of variable entry is cleared, and after the 10R big hit game ends, Since no value is set for the number of times of short rushing, the number of times of changing rushing is “0” and the special condition is not satisfied.

  If the determination result in step S65 is affirmative (the second special condition is satisfied), the main control CPU 30a selects a variation pattern from the second special variation pattern group (step S66), and ends the various variation processes. . The second special variation pattern group is the variation patterns P31 to P34. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S65 is negative (the second special condition is not satisfied), the main control CPU 30a selects a variation pattern from the non-special variation pattern group (step S67), and performs various variation processes. Exit. This non-special variation pattern group is variation patterns P41A, P41B, and P42 to P44.

  As described above, when the winning game state is the non-changeable state and the main control CPU 30a wins the 10R big hit, regardless of whether or not the probability change state is given (the probability change state is given). A gaming state to which at least a variable state is given (a specific gaming state). Then, the main control CPU 30a counts the number of times that the variable game has been executed until the variable state ends or until it is determined that the variable state will continue until the next big hit game occurs. Become. Further, the main control CPU 30a selects any one of the first special variation pattern group, the second special variation pattern group, and the non-special variation pattern group according to the counted number of variation games, and determines the variation pattern. It will be.

Here, a specific example of selection of the variation pattern group will be described below with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the non-variable state, a variation pattern group for the non-variable state is selected. When the 10R jackpot is won in the non-changing state, the changing state is given after the 10R jackpot game is over. Then, since the gaming state at the time of winning is the non-variable state, the special variation pattern group for the variable state (the first special variation pattern group or the second special variation pattern group) is selected. When the 10R jackpot is won in the variable state, the variable state is given again after the 10R jackpot game ends. And since the gaming state at the time of winning is the variable state, the non-special variation pattern group for the variable state is selected instead of the special variation pattern group (the first special variation pattern group or the second special variation pattern group). The Thus, the special variation pattern group is selected only when the gaming state at the time of winning is the non-variable state.

  When this special variation pattern group is selected, the first special variation pattern group included in the special variation pattern group is selected in the specific number of variation games, and in the variation game other than the specific number of times, the special variation pattern is selected. A second special variation pattern group included in the group is selected.

  As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the third 10R probability variation big hit (symbol F) or the third 10R non-probable big hit (symbol J) is won in the non-variable state. The number of times of change is 10 times. Then, in the first to ninth variation games in which there is no possibility that the variable state will end, the second special variation pattern group is selected, and in the tenth variation game in which the variable state may end, the first A special variation pattern group is selected. In this case, the variable state ends when the tenth variable game ends. However, since the variable state is determined to have ended from the eleventh variable game, the non-variable state is used. The fluctuation pattern group is selected.

  Also, when the second 10R probability variation big hit (symbol E) or the second 10R non-probable variation big hit (symbol I) is won in the non-variable short state, the number of times of variation is 20 times. And in the 1st to 9th and 11th to 19th variation games where there is no possibility that the variable state will end, the second special variation pattern group is selected, and the tenth, 20th when the variable state may end. In the first variation game, the first special variation pattern group is selected. Then, in this case, when the tenth variation game is finished, the variation state is not terminated, but the variation state is continued in the eleventh variation game, and when the twentyth variation game is terminated, The variable state ends, but from the 21st variation game, it is determined that the variable state has ended, and therefore, a variable pattern group for the non-variable state is selected.

  Further, when the first 10R probability variation big hit (symbol D) or the first 10R non-probability big hit (symbol H) is won in the non-variable short state, the number of times of variation is 30 times. In the 1st to 9th, 11th to 19th, and 21st to 29th fluctuation games in which there is no possibility that the variable state will end, the second special variable pattern group may be selected and the variable state may end. In the 10th, 20th, and 30th variation games, the first special variation pattern group is selected. In this case, when the tenth and twentieth variation games are completed, the variation state is not terminated, and the variation states are continued in the eleventh and twenty-first variation games. When the 30th variation game ends, the variable state ends, but from the 31st variable game, it is determined that the variable state has ended. The fluctuation pattern group is selected.

  Further, when a special 10R probability change big hit (symbol C) is won in the non-changeable state, the changed state is given until the next big hit game occurs. In the 1st to 9th, 11th to 19th, and 21st to 29th fluctuation games in which there is no possibility that the variable state will end, the second special variable pattern group may be selected and the variable state may end. In the 10th, 20th, and 30th variation games, the first special variation pattern group is selected. In this case, when the 10th, 20th, and 30th variation games are completed, the variation state is not terminated, and the variation state is continued in the 11th, 21st, and 31st variation games. . In addition, from the 31st variation game, it is determined that the variable state will continue until the next big hit game occurs, so the non-special variation pattern group is selected.

  In this way, any variation pattern is determined from a special variation pattern group (including the first special variation pattern group and the second special variation pattern group) different from the case where the 10R big hit is won in the variable state. Become. As a result, the fact that the state has changed from the non-changed state to the changed state is notified. In particular, when the first special variation pattern group is selected, either the probability variation state is given or not, and the variation state ends in the same gaming state to which the variation state is imparted. There will be a notification of a possible variation game. That is, in such a same gaming state, either one of the first special variation pattern group and the second special variation pattern group is selected, but the number of times of change is 20, 30, or the next big hit game occurrence. When it is determined that the first special variation pattern group and the second special variation pattern group are selected, the selection can be performed a plurality of times.

Next, the normal symbol input process related to the ordinary game will be described below.
In the normal symbol input process, when the main control CPU 30a determines that the game ball has passed through the operation gate 19, the number of the common figure reserved storage stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit “4”. It is determined whether or not. If the determination result is affirmative (the number of reserved general memory <4), the main control CPU 30a adds “1” to the number of general reserved memory, and rewrites the number of general reserved memory. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads and obtains the value of the random number for determining normal hits from the main control RAM 30c, and stores the value in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the general-purpose reserved memory number. Set the normal symbol input process.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a executes the following processing every predetermined control cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment). First, the main control CPU 30a sets the number of the general-purpose reserved memory number to “1” when the read general-purpose reserved memory number is larger than “0” in the case where the normal figure is not being displayed in a variable display or a normal hit game. ”Is subtracted, and the value of the random number for determining the normal hit stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c is obtained in association with the number of reserved ordinary maps. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the acquired normal hit determination random number matches the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, performs normal hit determination, and determines the determination result. The corresponding general symbol is determined as the final stop symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 20 with a fixed stop. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes related to the normal game, such as controlling the display contents of the normal symbol display device 20 so as to start the normal variable display.

  Then, when determining the normal hit, the main control CPU 30a executes the control related to the normal hit game after the usual game ends. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL1 so as to open the opening / closing blade 16 in an opening mode that differs depending on whether or not the variable state is given when the normal game is started.

  In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a has a normal probability of winning a normal game in a low probability state (3277/65536 in the present embodiment) in the non-variable state and a high probability in the variable state. The normal hit determination is performed in the state (in this embodiment, 65535/65536). Further, the main control CPU 30a selects and determines a variation pattern of the usual game according to whether or not the variable state is given. As a result, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the fluctuation time of the usual game is shortened in the variable state, compared with the non-variable state, and the total open time corresponding to one normal hit is released longer. Control.

Next, the contents of control executed by the overall control CPU 31a to execute a variable game including various effects will be described below.
When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the overall control CPU 31a performs control according to the input control command based on the overall control program. Specifically, the central control CPU 31 a outputs the variation pattern designation command to the display control board 32 when the variation pattern designation command is input. In addition, when the opening control command, the round command, and the ending command are input, the overall control CPU 31 a outputs the opening command, the round command, and the ending command to the display control board 32.

  When the central control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special figure designation command, the overall control CPU 31a produces an effect based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special figure designation command. A decoration to be displayed on the display device 11 is determined. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 31a that determines the symbol (decorative drawing) functions as symbol determination means.

  More specifically, in the case of a jackpot symbol to which a 15R jackpot game, a substantial 10R jackpot game, or a 10R jackpot game is given, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the decorating table determination table shown in FIG. 111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [777].

  Further, the overall control CPU 31a determines a decorative drawing from among the probable change suggestion symbols in the case of a big hit symbol to which a shortened 10R big hit game or a small hit game is given. As described above, in this embodiment, when the shortened 10R big hit game or the small hit game is determined, one of the symbols is determined from the probability variation suggestion symbols, so the types of symbols are the same. For this reason, it cannot be specified from the symbol whether the shortened 10R big hit game or the small hit game has been awarded.

  In addition, the overall control CPU 31a, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier symbol, and when the variation pattern for the deviation reach variation is designated, the decorative control is selected from the off symbol symbols forming the reach state. decide. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and a variation pattern for deviation variation is designated, the overall control CPU 31a determines a decoration from the missing symbols. Then, the overall control CPU 31a outputs a decorative design designation command for designating the determined decorative design to the display control board 32. In addition, when the overall control CPU 31a inputs an all symbols stop command, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the command to the display control board 32.

Here, the decoration drawing determination table will be described below with reference to FIG.
This decoration drawing determination table is a table for determining a decoration drawing to be displayed in a fixed stop, which is referred to when winning one of 15R probability variation big hit, substantially 10R probability variation big hit, and 10R big hit, and is a general control ROM 31b. Is remembered. As shown in FIG. 11, the type of jackpot, the variation pattern, the decoration, and a random number for determining the decoration are associated with the decoration diagram determination table.

  The type of jackpot can be specified by a special figure designation command from the main control board 30. The types of jackpots are classified into 15R probability variation jackpots (symbol A) and substantially 10R probability variation jackpots (symbol B). Furthermore, the types of jackpots include special 10R probability variation big hit (symbol C), first 10R probability variation big hit (symbol D), second 10R probability variation big hit (symbol E), and third 10R probability variation big hit (symbol). F), a first 10R non-probable big hit (symbol H), a second 10R non-probable big jackpot (symbol I), and a third 10R non-probable big hit (symbol J).

  The variation pattern can be specified by a variation pattern designation command from the main control board 30. The variation pattern P14 in the non-variable state, the variation patterns P24 and P34 in the variable state, and the variation pattern in the variable state. There is a case where it is classified as P44 and a case where the variation pattern is not questioned.

  The decoration diagram is composed of [111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [777] as a jackpot symbol. In the following, the jackpot symbol is shown only by the decorative drawing in the left column.

  As a specific example, when the 15R probability variation big hit (symbol A) is won, and the variation pattern P14 in the non-variable state is determined, [3] as a decorative figure with a probability of 40/251 is 211. [7] is determined with a probability of / 251. In addition, when a 10R probability big hit (symbol B) is won, [3] is determined as a decorative figure with a probability of 251/251 regardless of the variation pattern. In addition, when the special 10R probability variation big hit (symbol C) is won, when the variation pattern P24 in the variable state is determined, [1] is determined as a decoration with a probability of 60/251.

  In this way, by referring to the decoration drawing determination table, the decoration drawing is determined based on the type of jackpot and the variation pattern. In particular, as a decorative drawing, when winning 15R probability variation jackpot, [3] [7] is determined, and when winning 10R probability variation jackpot, [3] is determined. In addition, as a decorative drawing, when winning the special 10R probability variation big hit or the first 10R probability variation big hit, it is determined from [1] to [6] excluding [7], the special 10R probability variation big hit, and the first In the case of winning 10R jackpot except 10R probability variation jackpot, [1] [2] [4] to [6] except [3] [7] are determined.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, when [7] is determined as the jackpot symbol, it is determined that the 15R probability variable jackpot has been won. In addition, when [3] is determined as the big hit symbol, it is confirmed that either of the 15R probability variation big hit, the actual 10R probability variation big hit, the special 10R probability variation big hit, or the first 10R probability variation big hit has been won. It is confirmed that you won the jackpot. If [1] [2] [4]-[6] are determined as the jackpot symbols, it will be confirmed that the 10R jackpot is won, but whether the winning jackpot is won or not Can not be identified.

  In addition, in the case of winning the 15R probability variable big hit, when the variation pattern P14 in the non-variable state is determined, the decorative pattern is displayed with a higher probability than when the variation patterns P24, P34, and P44 in the variable state are determined. [7] is determined. That is, when winning the 15R probability variable big hit, in the non-variable state, [7] is determined as a decoration with a higher probability than in the variable state. For this reason, the decoration [7] is displayed in a fixed stop state, so that it is easier to determine the 15R probability change big hit in the non-changed state than in the changed state.

  In addition, in the case of winning the special 10R probability variation big hit or the first 10R probability variation big hit, if the variation pattern P14 in the non-variable state is [3] is not determined as a decoration, When the variation pattern is P24, P34, or P44, [3] may be determined as a decorative drawing. For this reason, when [3] is determined as the big hit symbol in the non-variable short state, it is determined that either the 15R probability variable big hit or the substantial 10R probability variable big hit is won. On the other hand, when [3] is determined as the big hit symbol in the variable state, the winning combination is selected from the 15R probability variable big hit, the actual 10R positive variable big hit, the special 10R positive variable big hit, and the first 10R positive variable big hit. Will be finalized. In addition, when the special 10R probability variation big hit and the first 10R probability variation big hit are won, [3] is determined as a decoration with a higher probability in the variable state than in the non-variable state. Is done. For this reason, from the decorative drawing [3], it is easier to determine the special 10R probability variation big hit and the first 10R probability variation big hit in the variable state than in the non-variable state.

  In addition, when the special 10R probability variation big hit and the first 10R probability variation big hit are won, when the variation pattern P44 is determined, the decorative pattern [3] has a higher probability than when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined. Is determined. In this way, the decision probability of the decoration [3] is greater than that in the variable state after the end of the jackpot game when the special 10R probability variable big hit and the first 10R probability variable big hit are won in the non-variable state. When a special 10R probability variable big hit is won in the variable speed state and the first 10R probability variable big hit is won, it is higher when the variable state is after the big hit game ends. In other words, from the decoration [3], when winning the special 10R probability variation big hit and the first 10R probability variation big hit, the time when the winning state is in the variable state is more than the time when the winning state is the non-variable state. It is easy to determine the special 10R probability variation big hit and the first 10R probability variation big hit.

  When winning 10R jackpot, [1] [2] [4]-[6] may be determined as decorations. Among them, when winning 10R jackpot (designs C to F) to which the probability change state is given, it is [1] as a decoration with a higher probability than winning 10R jackpot (designs H to J) to which the probability change state is not given. ] [5] is determined. On the other hand, when winning 10R jackpot (symbols H to J) to which the probability variation state is not given, it has a higher probability than the case of winning 10R jackpot (symbols C to F) to which the probability variation state is awarded, as a decorative drawing [ 2] [4] [6] are determined. As described above, when [1] [2] [4] to [6] are determined as decorations, it is not determined whether or not the probability variation state is given, but [1] [5] as decorations. ] Is determined, it can be said that it is a jackpot symbol with a higher probability of expected variation than when [2] [4] [6] is determined. Further, in detail, as a decoration to be determined, [2] has a higher probability of probability change than [4], [6] has a higher probability of probability change than [2], and [1] Is more likely than [6], and [5] is more likely than [1].

  In addition, the probability that [1] [2] [4] to [6] are determined as decorations differs for each variation pattern. In particular, in the case of winning 10R jackpot (designs C to F) to which a probable variation state is awarded, when the variation pattern P44 is determined, the decoration pattern has a higher probability than when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined. [1] [5] is determined. Further, in the case of winning 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined, [1] [5] as a decoration diagram with a higher probability than when the variation pattern P14 is determined. Is determined. In addition, in the case of winning the 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, when the variation pattern P14 is determined, [2] [4] as a decoration diagram with a higher probability than when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined. [6] is determined. In addition, in the case of winning the 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined, [2] [4] as a decoration diagram with a higher probability than when the variation pattern P44 is determined. [6] is determined.

  On the other hand, in the case of winning 10R jackpot (designs H to J) to which the probability variation state is not given, when the variation pattern P44 is determined, the decorative pattern is displayed with a higher probability than when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined. [2] [4] [6] are determined as follows. Further, in the case of winning 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is not given, when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined, [2] [4] [ 6] is determined. In addition, in the case of winning 10R jackpot that is not given a probability variation state, when the variation pattern P14 is determined, [1] [5] is displayed as a decoration with a higher probability than when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined. It is determined. In addition, in the case of winning 10R jackpot that is not given a probable change state, when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined, [1] [5] is displayed as a decoration with a higher probability than when the variation pattern P44 is determined. It is determined.

  Thus, in the case where the decorations displayed to be confirmed and stopped are [1] [2] [4] to [6], when the variation pattern P44 is determined, it is more than when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined. In addition, it is stipulated that whether or not the probability variation state is given is easily specified from the decorative drawing. In addition, in the case where the decorations displayed to be confirmed and stopped are [1] [2] [4] to [6], when the variation patterns P24 and P34 are determined, compared to when the variation pattern P14 is determined. Whether or not a certain change state is given is defined more easily than the decorative drawing. In other words, when the winning state is won in 10R jackpot with the decoration [1] [2] [4]-[6], the probability changing state is given in the changing state rather than in the non-changing state at the time of winning. It is easy to specify whether it is applied or not. Also, the decoration [1] [2] [is more when the 10R jackpot is won in the shortened state than when it is after the transition from the non-varying state to the variable state triggered by the 10R jackpot. 4] to [6], it is easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given when 10R big hit is won.

  Further, upon input of a change designation command and a change termination command, the overall control CPU 31a sets a value corresponding to the command in the overall control RAM 31c. In particular, the general control CPU 31a can specify that a type of jackpot game or a jackpot game is given when a special figure designation command is input at the start of a variable game that is a jackpot or jackpot. Further, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the probability variation state and the variation state are given based on the type of the big hit game or the small hit game and the game state at the time of winning (current), It can be specified. The overall control CPU 31a sets data indicating that the probability variation state is to be imparted in the overall control RAM 31c until the next big hit occurs when the probability variation state is imparted. Whether the overall control CPU 31a sets, in the overall control RAM 31c, data indicating that the reduced state is provided until the next big hit occurs when the changed state is provided. The specified number of times of change is set to the number of operations assigned to the overall control RAM 31c. This number of operations is a counter for counting the number of times that the variable state is given. Then, the overall control CPU 31a subtracts “1” the number of times of operation every time the variable game is executed until the number of times of operation becomes “0”.

Next, various processes executed by the display control CPU 32a of the display control board 32 based on the display control program will be described below.
When a control command is input from the overall control board 31 (overall control CPU 31a), the display control CPU 32a performs control according to the input control command based on the display control program. Specifically, when the display control CPU 32a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the effect display device 11 starts the variation game by displaying the decorative drawing in a variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Control display content. Then, when the display control CPU 32a inputs the all symbols stop command, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the decoration designated by the ornament design designation command is displayed in a fixed stop manner. By this control, a variation game is performed in the effect display device 11.

  Next, when the opening control command corresponding to the type and game state of the big hit game is input, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the opening effect corresponding to the command. Further, when a round command is input, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute each round effect. Further, when the ending command is input, the display control CPU 32a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so as to execute the ending effect.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, a special effect may be performed among the performed effects. This special effect is an effect that is executed after winning the 10R jackpot in the non-change state and shifting to the change state, and is an effect related to whether or not the change state ends.

  Here, the effect determination process executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described below with reference to FIG. The effect determination process is a process for determining an effect to be executed. The overall control CPU 31a executes an effect determination process in response to an input of a variation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a.

  First, as shown in FIG. 9, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the input variation pattern designation command is a command indicating any one of the variation patterns P21 to P24 and P31 to P34 (step). S101). If the determination result in step S101 is affirmative (variation patterns P21 to P24, P31 to P34), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S103. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S101 is negative (not the fluctuation patterns P21 to P24, P31 to P34), the overall control CPU 31a determines a non-special effect to be executed (step S102), and the process proceeds to step S105. To do.

  In step S103, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the special effect determination table shown in FIG. 10, determines the special effect to be executed, and determines an addition point corresponding to the special effect. This addition point is a point determined for each variable game, and is information suggesting the continuation of the variable state. Thereafter, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S104.

Here, the special effect determination table in step S103 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The special effect determination table is a table for determining a special effect to be executed and is referred to when a change pattern designation command indicating any one of the change patterns P21 to P24 and P31 to P34 is input, and is a general control ROM 31b. Is remembered. In the special effect determination table, as shown in FIG. 10, a fluctuation pattern corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command, a special figure designation command capable of specifying a hit type by designating the special figure, a current total point, The remaining variable number of times, the addition point as a result of the special effect in the current variation game, and a random number for determining the addition point are associated with each other.

  The fluctuation patterns include fluctuation patterns P21 to P23 (including small hits) that are not big hits in the first special fluctuation pattern group, and fluctuation patterns P31 to P33 (small hits that are not big hits in the second special fluctuation pattern group). And a variation pattern P23, P24, P33, P34 (excluding a small hit) that is a big hit among the special variation patterns. Note that it is possible to specify whether or not the small hit is based on a special figure designation command.

  As the current total points, there are no questions, “0” to “10”, “11” to “16”, “17”, “18”, “19” It is the structure including this. This total point is a value that can predict whether or not the variable state will continue, and “20” is defined as the upper limit value. Also, after changing from the non-variable state to the variable state, the total points are set to “0” in the first, eleventh, and twenty-first variation games on condition that the variation state is continued, and each variation game Depending on the type of special effect executed, the cumulative addition is made.

  Further, the addition points to be added for each variable game include “0”, “1”, “3”, and a value up to “20” as the upper limit value. As a special effect, a defeat effect when the addition point is “0”, a draw effect when the addition point is “1”, and a victory effect when the addition point is “3” When the upper limit is “20”, a large reversal effect is executed.

  In addition, the remaining variable number of times is a configuration including any case, “1”, “2” to “10”, and others. Further, when the number of times of change is a predetermined number of times, the number of times of operation is referred to, whether the remaining number of changes is “1”, or is “2” to “10”. It will be determined. On the other hand, if the number of times of change is given until the next big hit game is generated, it is determined as other than that.

  As a specific example, when a variation pattern designation command indicating the variation pattern P21 is input, when the remaining number of times of variation is 1, “0” is selected as an addition point with a probability of 251/251, Values up to “1”, “3”, and “20” are not selected. Further, when the variation pattern designation command indicating the variation pattern P31 is input, when the total number of points is “0” and the remaining number of times of variation is 2 to 10, the addition point has a probability of 16/251. “3” is selected, “1” is selected with a probability of 96/251, “0” is selected with a probability of 139/251, and values up to “20” are not selected.

  In this way, based on the variation pattern, the hit type, the current total point, and the remaining number of times of variation, the addition points as a result of the special effect in the current variation game are determined.

  When a variation pattern that is a big hit is determined, a value up to “20” is selected as an addition point, and the others are not selected. For this reason, in the case of a big hit, the total point is “20”.

  In addition, after the transition from the non-variable state to the variable state, when the variation patterns P21, P22, and P23 (small hits) selected in the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth variation games are determined, the remaining variation is determined. When the short count is “1”, “0” is selected as the addition point, and other values are not selected. For this reason, when the variable state ends in the next variable game, the addition point is “0” and the total point is not “20”.

  On the other hand, after the transition from the non-variable state to the variable state, when the variation patterns P21, P22, and P23 (small hits) selected in the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth variation games are determined, When the remaining variable number of times is other than “1”, a value up to “20” is selected as the addition point, and the other is not selected. For this reason, in a variable game with a plurality of types of variable times (10th, 20th, 30th), when the variable state continues in the next variable game, the total point is “20”.

  In addition, when the change patterns P31, P32, and P33 (small hits) selected in the change game other than the 10th, 20th, and 30th after the transition from the non-change / change state to the change / change state are determined, A value up to “20” is not selected as the addition point. When the total point is “17” or “18”, “3” is not selected as the addition point, and when the total point is “19”, “3” and “1” are not selected. For this reason, the total point is not “20” in the variable game in which the variable state is not likely to end in the next variable game.

  In addition, when the remaining variable number of times is “2” to “10”, “0” is determined as an addition point with a higher probability than other cases, and the remaining variable number of times is other than that. In this case, “1” and “3” are determined as the addition points with a higher probability than in the case of “2” to “10”, and the addition points indicate the end (continuation) of the variable state. It becomes.

  When the total points are “0” to “10”, “3” and “1” are determined as the addition points with a higher probability than when the total points are “11” to “16”. When the total points are “11” to “16”, “0” is determined with a higher probability than when the total points are “0” to “10”. Thus, when the total points are small, a large addition point is determined with a higher probability than when there are many.

  Returning to the effect determination process, in step S104 of FIG. 9, the overall control CPU 31a executes a point update process. In this process, when the input variation pattern designation command is a command indicating any one of the variation patterns P31 to P34, the overall control CPU 31a adds points in the current variation game determined in step S103. Is added to the current total points. On the other hand, when the input variation pattern designation command is a command indicating any one of the variation patterns P21 to P24, the overall control CPU 31a sets “0” to the total point. The variation patterns P31 to P34 are determined in the 1st to 9th, 11th to 19th, and 21st to 29th variation games after the 10R big win is won and the big hit game is finished in the non-variable state. The patterns P21 to P24 are determined by the 10th, 20th, and 30th variation games. For this reason, the total points are set to “0” in the first, eleventh, and twenty-first variation games by initializing the total points in the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth variation games. Also, by adding cumulative points determined in the 1st to 9th, 11th to 19th, and 21st to 29th fluctuation games as total points, the 2nd to 10th, 12th to 20th, 22nd to 30th It is possible to refer to the accumulated total points in the floating game. When this process ends, the process proceeds to step S105.

In the present embodiment, after the 10R jackpot game is won, after the 10R jackpot game is changed from the non-changing state to the changing state, the changing state is continued without a big hit. Thus, the special effects in the first to ninth times, the 11th to 19th times, and the 21st to 29th variable games correspond to “second special effects”. In the present embodiment, similarly, the special effects in the tenth, twentieth, and thirty-time variation games correspond to “first special effects”. In addition, the second special effect is a special effect that suggests whether or not the variable state ends (continues), but it is possible to specify whether or not the variable state ends (continues) as the first special effect. It is a special effect to show.

  In step S105, the overall control CPU 31a sets an effect designation command indicating an effect to be executed in the overall control RAM 31c. When the special effect is executed, a command indicating whether the effect is the first special effect or the second special effect and the type of the special effect for which the addition point can be specified is set as the effect designation command. . Thereafter, the overall control CPU 31a ends the effect determination process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the effect determination process, the overall control CPU 31a outputs an effect designation command set in the overall control RAM 31c to the display control board 32 (display control CPU 32a) at a predetermined timing. This makes it possible to specify an effect to be executed by the display control CPU 32a.

  In addition, when an effect designation command for executing a special effect is input, the display control CPU 32a causes the effect display device 11 to display the contents of the special effect designated by the command. In particular, the display control CPU 32a specifies an addition point based on the effect designation command, adds the addition point to the total point, and updates the total point by setting it in the display control RAM 32c. Then, the display control CPU 32a causes the effect display device 11 to display the addition points and the updated total points. It should be noted that the display control CPU 32a is an effect designation command indicating the first special effect in the tenth, twentieth, and thirty times of the variable game after the change from the non-change state to the change state when the 10R big hit is won. Is added, and the added points are added to the total points, and at the end of the variable game, the total points are set to “0” and initialization is performed.

  In this way, when winning 10R jackpot in the non-variable short state, after the jackpot game is over, any variation pattern will be determined from the special variation pattern group, but it won the winning 10R jackpot. Thus, the special effect is executed based on the number of times of change determined as the upper limit. In particular, when the second special variation pattern group is selected, the second special effect is executed based on the number of times of change determined as the upper limit and the type of the second special effect previously executed. In addition, the type of the second special effect that has been executed is stored. On the other hand, when the first special variation pattern group is selected, the first special effect is determined based on the number of changes determined as the upper limit and the type of the second special effect that has been executed previously. Will be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the effect mode is shifted mainly after the end of each big hit game and the small hit game. The effect mode indicates a probability variation expectation level (possibility that a certain probability variation state has been imparted) suggesting that a certain probability variation state has been imparted. This probability variation expectation indicates the ratio of the appearance rate in the case of the probability variation state to the overall appearance rate obtained by adding the appearance rate in the probability variation state and the appearance rate in the non-probability variation state. The effect mode corresponds to the type of background image of the effect display device 11 in the variable game, and can be easily recognized by the player based on the background image. In addition, the effect mode can be executed over a plurality of continuous variation games.

Here, such an effect mode will be described below with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of types of effect modes with different probability variations. The plurality of effect modes are roughly classified into five types: a normal effect mode, a normal probability variation / secret display mode, a probability change / secret effect mode, a probability change / confirmation effect mode, and a non-probability / variable concentration effect mode. Furthermore, the normal effect mode includes four effect modes MA1 to MA4, and the normal time certain change secret display effect mode includes three effect modes MB1 to MB3. In addition, the certain change mode MC1 is included in the probability variation concealment effect mode, one effect mode MD1 is included in the probability change confirmation effect mode, and one effect mode ME1 is included in the non-probability rich effect mode. .

  The production modes MA1 to MA4, MB1 to MB3 are production modes when the variable state is not assigned, and the production modes MC1, MD1, and ME1 are production modes when the variable state is assigned.

  In addition, the production modes MA1 to MA4, MB1 to MB3, MC1 and ME1 can be stayed depending on whether the probability variation state is given or not, and there is a possibility that the probability variation state may be given. Mode. Further, the effect mode MD1 is an effect mode in which it is possible to stay only when the probability variation state is given and it is determined that the probability variation state is not given.

  In addition, in the production modes MA1 to MA4, MB1 to MB3, MC1 and ME1, the same background image is displayed for each production mode regardless of whether or not it is in the probability variation state. It is difficult for the player to recognize whether or not. As described above, the background image in the production modes MA1, MB1 to MB3 corresponds to a probability change non-deterministic effect in which it is not possible to specify whether or not the background image is in the probability change state by executing the background image. On the other hand, the background image in the effect mode MD1 corresponds to a probability change confirmation effect that can specify that the probability change state is determined.

  In addition, the plurality of presentation modes MA1 to MA4, MB1 to MB3, MC1, MD1, and ME1 have a function that indicates a probability change expectation that suggests a possibility that a probability change state is given. In the non-changing state where the changing state is not given, the probable change expectation degree in the order of the production modes MA1 to MA4 (lowest), the production mode MB1 (low), the production mode MB2 (medium), and the production mode MB3 (high). Is set to be high. On the other hand, when the variable state is given, the probability variation expectation is set to be higher in the order of the production mode ME1 (low), the production mode MC1 (high), and the production mode MD1 (highest). Yes. As described above, the production mode includes a plurality of types of production modes MA1 to MA4, MB1 to MB3, MC1, MD1, and ME1 having different probability variations.

  Further, the production mode MC1 can be transferred on condition that the 10R big hit is won in the non-changed state, and even if the big win is won in the changed state, it does not change. The production mode MC1 is a production mode in which it is more difficult to specify whether or not a certain variation state is given than the production modes MD1 and ME1.

  Next, transition transitions of various production modes accompanying the progress of the game will be described below with reference to FIG. Moreover, in FIG. 13, in order to classify | categorize several production modes, it has shown using the broken line. Note that the type of winning game is indicated by a capital letter regardless of whether the game is a first variation game or a second variation game.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the variable state is given, the user stays in any one of the production modes MC1 to ME1. On the other hand, when the variable state is not given, the user stays in any of the production modes MA1 to MA4 and MB1 to MB3. When various big hits or small wins are won, the effect mode is shifted to the start of the first variable game after the end of the game.

  In the case of winning 15R probability variation jackpot (symbol A) and 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol B), the rendering mode MD1 even if staying in any of the rendering modes MA1 to MA4, MB1 to MB3, MC1 to ME1 It is supposed to move to.

  Next, while staying in any of the production modes MC1 to ME1, the special 10R probability variation big hit (symbol C), the first 10R probability variation big hit (symbol D), the second 10R probability variation big hit (symbol E), or the first When the 10R probability variation big hit (symbol F) of 3 is won, it shifts to one of the production modes MD1 and ME1. On the other hand, while staying in any of the production modes MC1 to ME1, the first 10R non-probable big hit (symbol H), the second 10R non-probable big hit (symbol I), or the third 10R non-probable big hit When (symbol J) is won, the mode is shifted to the rendering mode ME1 without shifting to the rendering mode MD1. For this reason, when winning 10R jackpot and shifting to the production mode MD1, it is determined that the probability variation state has been provided, while when transitioning to the production mode ME1, whether or not the probability variation state has been imparted. It is not possible to determine if it has not been done.

  Moreover, when staying in any one of the production modes MC1 to ME1, and winning the shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G), the mode is changed to the production mode MD1. On the other hand, when staying in any one of the production modes MC1 to ME1 and winning a small hit (symbol K), the stay in the production mode is continued.

  In the effect modes MC1 and ME1, when the variable state continues in the 31st and 101st variable games after the end of the big hit game, the mode changes to the effect mode MD1 at the start of the variable game. ing. Further, in the effect modes MC1 and ME1, when the shortage state ends after the end of the big hit game, the transition is made to the effect mode MA1 at the start of the variable game.

  Next, if you are staying in any of the production modes MA1 to MA4 and MB1 to MB3 and win 10R jackpot (symbols C to F, H to J), the production will not proceed to the production modes MD1 and ME1. The mode is shifted to mode MC1.

  Also, when staying in any of the production modes MA1 to MA4 and MB1 to MB3 and winning the shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) in the probability variation state, the transition to the performance mode MC1 is performed without transitioning to the performance mode MD1. It is supposed to be.

  On the other hand, whether you are staying in any of the production modes MA1 to MA4 or MB1 to MB3 and win the shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) in the non-probability variation state, or whether or not it is in the probability variation state. When winning a small hit, it shifts to any one of the production modes MA1 to MA4, MB1 to MB3 except for the production mode with a low probability of expectation.

  As described above, when the big hit game or the small hit game is awarded, the effect mode may be shifted (noted as “normal” in the drawing) in addition to the case relating to the probability change state and the short change state.

  When staying in any one of the effect modes MA1 to MA4 (hereinafter referred to as “effect mode MAX”), the big hit game or the small hit game is not given, and it is different according to the operation of the effect button 70. It is possible to shift to the production mode MAX. In addition, when staying in the production mode MAX, any of the production modes MB1 to MB3 (hereinafter referred to as “production mode”), regardless of the operation of the production button 70, without being given a big hit game or a small hit game. It is possible to shift to “MBX”. In addition, when staying in the effect mode MBX, it is possible to shift to the effect mode MAX regardless of the operation of the effect button 70 without being awarded a big hit game or a small hit game. When staying in the effect mode MBX, the big hit game or the small hit game is not given, and it is impossible to shift to another effect mode MBX.

  In the present embodiment, the effect mode MAX corresponds to the “first effect mode”, the effect mode MB1 corresponds to the “second effect mode”, and the effect mode MB3 corresponds to the “third effect mode”. In the present embodiment, the production modes MAX and MBX are in the “first special production mode”, the production mode MC1 is in the “second special production mode”, and the production mode MD1 is in the “third special production mode”. ME1 corresponds to the “fourth special effect mode”, respectively.

  Next, the changing game start effect mode control process executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described below with reference to FIGS. The change mode start effect mode control process is a process for performing a change control of the effect mode at the start of the change game. The overall control CPU 31a is configured to execute a variation game start time effect mode control process in response to an input of a variation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a. In the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 31a that executes various processes described below functions as an effect mode control means.

  First, as shown in FIG. 14, the overall control CPU 31a reads a value from the number of operations, and determines whether or not the non-variable state is in accordance with whether or not the value of the number of operations is “0”. Determination is made (step S201). If the determination result of step S201 is affirmative (the state is not changing), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S202. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S201 is negative (not in the non-changeable state), the overall control CPU 31a ends the changing game start time effect mode control process.

  In step S202, the overall control CPU 31a reads a value from the stay counter assigned to the overall control RAM 31c, and determines whether or not the stay counter is “0”. This stay counter is a counter for counting the number of stays in the production modes MAX and MBX. If the determination result in step S202 is affirmative (the stay counter is “0”), the overall control CPU 31a executes a stay counter update process for subtracting “1” from the stay counter (step S203), and proceeds to step S204. To do. As a result, the overall control CPU 31a counts the number of stays in the effect modes MAX and MBX. This stay counter is set to “0” and initialized when a transition to a mode other than the production mode MAX is triggered. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S202 is negative (the stay counter is not “0”), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S204 without executing step S203.

  In step S204, the overall control CPU 31a reads a value from the effect mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c, and determines whether or not the user is staying in the effect mode MBX. If the determination result of step S204 is affirmative (staying in the effect mode MBX), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S205. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S204 is negative (not staying in the effect mode MBX), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S211 in FIG.

  In step S205, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the fall condition is satisfied. The fall conditions are the specified number of times during promotion after the transition to the production mode MBX triggered by the winning of the win, or after the transition from the production mode MAX to the production mode MBX without using the winning of the win. It is established when the game is not in the fluctuating game (15 times in the form) and the result of the falling lottery is won. In addition, the winning probability of the falling lottery in this embodiment is a probability of 17/251 when staying in the production modes MB1 and MB2 and in a non-probable change state, and 14/251 in a probabilistic change state. The probability is 20/251 in the non-probable state while staying in the production mode MB3, and is 12/251 in the probabilistic state.

  If the determination result of step S205 is affirmative (the falling condition is satisfied), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S206. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S205 is negative (the falling condition is not satisfied), the overall control CPU 31a ends the dynamic game start effect mode control process without executing steps S206 to S208. .

  In step S206, the overall control CPU 31a decides to shift to the production mode MA1 when the change game starts, and uses the data indicating the decided production mode MA1 as the production mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c. Set (step S207), the process proceeds to step S208.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the change game start effect mode control process, the overall control CPU 31a reads the value from the effect mode flag in the overall control RAM 31c at the start of the current change game, and sets the transition destination effect mode. An effect mode designation command is output to the display control board 32. This makes it possible to specify the effect mode to be shifted to the display control CPU 32a.

  In step S208, the overall control CPU 31a sets the specified number of times (“50” in the present embodiment) at the time of the fall in the stay counter assigned to the overall control RAM 31c. By executing such processing, the overall control CPU 31a counts the number of times that the variable game is executed after the transition from the effect mode MBX to the effect mode MA1, and determines whether or not the predetermined number of times of falling is reached. It becomes possible to specify.

  Then, the overall control CPU 31a sets data indicating the presentation mode that was staying before the fall in the overall control RAM 31c (step S209), and ends the changing game start-time presentation mode control process. By executing such processing, the overall control CPU 31a stores the effect mode MBX that was staying before falling into the effect mode MA1 in the overall control RAM 31c so that it can be referred to while staying in the effect mode MAX. Keep it. The overall control CPU 31a may make a transition to the effect mode MBX, MC1 to ME1 while staying in the effect mode MBX, because the fall condition is satisfied, and may be shifted to the effect mode MAX without winning. Will not be migrated.

  In step S211 of FIG. 15, the overall control CPU 31a reads a value from the effect mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c, and determines whether or not the user is staying in the effect mode MAX. If the determination result of step S211 is affirmative (while staying in the effect mode MAX), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S212. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S211 is negative (not staying in the effect mode MAX), the overall control CPU 31a ends the effect mode control process at the start of the variable game without executing steps S212 to S221. To do.

  In step S212, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the input variation pattern designation command is a command indicating the variation pattern P11B. If the determination result of step S212 is affirmative (the variation pattern is P11B), the overall control CPU 31a ends the variation game start-time effect mode control process without executing steps S213 to S221. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S212 is negative (not the fluctuation pattern P11B), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S213.

  In step S213, the overall control CPU 31a executes a transfer lottery process for winning with a predetermined probability. Then, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the transfer lottery has been won (step S214). If the determination result of step S214 is affirmative (the transition lottery has been won), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S215. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S214 is negative (the transition lottery was not won), the overall control CPU 31a ends the changing game start effect mode control process.

  In step S215, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the transition destination table determination table shown in FIG. 16, and determines the transition destination table based on the variation pattern designation command, the special figure designation command, and the current gaming state. . Thereafter, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S216.

Here, the migration destination table determination table in step S215 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The transition destination table determination table is a table for determining the transition destination determination table itself at the time of determining the transition destination presentation mode, which is referred to as a main condition that the transition lottery is won while staying in the presentation mode MAX. Are stored in the overall control ROM 31b. In the transition destination table determination table, as shown in FIG. 16, the number of stays in the effect mode MAX, the hit type in the variable game, the current gaming state, the transition destination determination table, and the transition destination determination table are determined. Are associated with random numbers.

  The number of stays indicates the number of fluctuating games that have continuously stayed in the effect mode MAX after the transition from the effect mode MBX to the effect mode MA1, and is classified into 1 to 50 times and 51 times or more. The number of stays is specified by the value of the stay counter assigned to the overall control RAM 31c, the initial value is set in step S205 in FIG. 14, and is updated in step S214 in FIG.

  The types of wins for the variable game are classified into cases where the winning result in the starting variable game is out of place, a shortened 10R probability variation big hit or a small hit, and a case where the shortened 10R probability variable big hit and the small hit are excluded. And can be specified based on the input variation pattern designation command.

  As the current gaming state, since this transition destination table determination table is referred to while staying in the production mode MAX, it is not in the variable state and is in the non-variable state, but the non-probable state and the probable state And classified. Moreover, there is a case where it is not asked whether it is a non-probability change state or a probability change state.

  The transition destination determination table is a table for determining the transition destination presentation mode, and is a normal transition destination determination table (normal) for selecting the presentation mode MAX in the normal order, and a normal selection for selecting the presentation mode MAX in the reverse order. It is classified into a time transition destination determination table (reverse) and a promotion transition destination determination table for transition to the production mode MBX.

  As a specific example, when the number of stays is 1 to 50, and a variation pattern designation command that is out of place in the uncertain change state is input, the normal-time migration destination determination table (correct ) Is selected, the promotion migration destination determination table is selected with a probability of 10/251, and the normal migration destination determination table (reverse) is not selected. Further, when the number of stays is 51 or more and a variation pattern designation command that is out of place is input in the probability variation state, the normal-time migration destination determination table (positive) is selected with a probability of 251/251, and the normal time The migration destination decision table (reverse) and the migration destination decision table at the time of promotion are not selected.

  As described above, the transition destination determination table is selected based on the number of stays that fall from the effect mode MBX to the effect mode MA1 and stay in the effect mode MAX, the hit type in the variable game, and the current gaming state. .

  In particular, in the case of a big hit excluding the shortened 10R probability variation big hit and the small hit, the normal-time migration destination determination table (reverse) can be selected, but in the case of a short 10R probability variation big hit or a small hit, The normal migration destination determination table (reverse) is not selected. For this reason, by selecting the normal-time transfer destination determination table (reverse), it is determined that either of the 15R probability variation big hit, the actual 10R probability variation big hit, or the 10R big hit is won. For this reason, the operation of the effect button 70 can also be promoted in order to identify the selected transition destination determination table and identify the type of variation game.

  In addition, the transition destination determination table for promotion is selected in a variation game with 1 to 50 stays, but the transition destination determination table for promotion is not selected in a variation game with 51 or more stays. For this reason, when staying in the production mode MAX after falling from the production mode MBX to the production mode MA1, when the number of stays is small, the transition destination determination table at the time of promotion can be selected, and the winning of the win is triggered. There is a case where the mode is shifted to the effect mode MBX. On the other hand, when the number of stays is large, the transition destination determination table at the time of promotion is not selected, and the transition to the effect mode MBX is not performed without the winning of the win. When this promotion transition destination determination table is selected, the effect mode is transferred regardless of the operation of the effect button 70.

  In addition, the transition destination determination table at the time of promotion is selected with a higher probability in the case of the probability variation state than in the case of the non-probability variation state. For this reason, when the number of stays that have stayed in the production mode MAX after the fall from the production mode MBX to the production mode MA1 is not large, the probability change expectation is high when the promotion mode MBX is promoted again. Can be notified.

  Returning to the description of the change mode start effect mode control process, in step S216 of FIG. 15, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the normal transition table has been selected. If the determination result of step S216 is affirmative (the normal transition table is selected), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S220. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S216 is negative (the normal shift table is not selected), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S217.

  In step S217, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the promotion transition destination determination table shown in FIG. 17 to determine the effect mode to be transferred, and the data indicating the determined effect mode is assigned to the overall control RAM 31c. The mode flag is set (step S218), and the change mode start effect mode control process is terminated.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the effect mode control process at the start of the variable game, the overall control CPU 31a performs the control in the overall control RAM 31c when a predetermined time (4s in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the start of the change game. A value is read from the effect mode flag, and an effect mode designation command indicating the transfer destination effect mode is output to the display control board 32. This makes it possible to specify the effect mode to be shifted to the display control CPU 32a.

  In step S219, the overall control CPU 31a sets the specified number of times at the time of promotion (“15” in the present embodiment) to the stay counter assigned to the overall control RAM 31c, and ends the effect mode control process at the start of the variable game. To do. By executing such processing, the overall control CPU 31a counts the number of times that the variable game is executed after the transition from the effect mode MAX to the effect mode MBX, and determines whether or not the predetermined number of times of falling is reached. It becomes possible to specify.

Here, the transition destination determination table at the time of promotion in step S217 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The transition destination determination table at the time of promotion is a table for determining a transition destination from among the rendering modes MBX that are referred to as a main condition that the transition lottery is won while staying in the rendering mode MAX and has a high expected change probability. Are stored in the overall control ROM 31b. In the promotion transition destination determination table, as shown in FIG. 17, to determine the last stay effect mode, the current gaming state, the transition destination effect mode, and the transition destination effect mode that were staying in the previous time. Are associated with random numbers.

  The last stay effect mode indicates the effect mode MBX in which the user stayed before falling to the effect mode MA1. In other words, except for the production mode MAX, which is the same as the production mode that is currently staying, the expectation change degree MAX is higher than the production mode MAX, and stays immediately before falling to the production mode MA1 without being triggered. The production mode MBX that has been performed corresponds.

  As the current gaming state, since this transition destination table determination table is referred to while staying in the production mode MAX, it is not in the variable state and is in the non-variable state, but the non-probable state and the probable state And classified. Further, as the transition destination production mode, the production mode MBX is applicable, and the production mode MAX having the same degree of expectation as compared with the production mode currently staying is not applicable.

  As a specific example, when the last stay production mode is the production mode MB1, and the current game state is an uncertain change state, the production mode MB1 is the transition destination production mode with a probability of 120/251. The effect mode MB2 is determined with a probability of 128/251, and the effect mode MB3 is determined with a probability of 3/251. When the last stay production mode is the production mode MB3, the production mode MB3 is determined with a probability of 251/251 as the production mode of the transition destination regardless of whether or not the current gaming state is the probability variation state. The effect mode MB1 and the effect mode MB2 are not determined.

  In this way, the transition destination production mode is determined based on the previous stay production mode and the current game state. Further, when the current gaming state is the probability variation state, the stage is shifted to the effect mode having a high probability variation expectation with a higher probability than when the current gaming state is not the probability variation state.

  In particular, no transition is made to a production mode lower than the previous stay production mode. According to the transition destination table determination table of FIG. 16, the transition destination determination table at the time of promotion is when the number of stays staying in the rendering mode MAX after falling from the rendering mode MBX to the rendering mode MA1 is 1 to 50 times ( It will be selected only when specific conditions are met. That is, in the variation game within the specified number of times after falling from the production mode MBX to the production mode MA1, there is no transition to the production mode with a lower expected probability than the production mode MBX staying before the fall. The production mode is the same as the production mode MBX that was staying before the fall, or the production mode having a high probability of change. Of course, in the changing game after the specified number of times after the fall from the effect mode MBX to the effect mode MA1, the effect mode MBX itself is not shifted.

Here, with reference to FIG. 18, a description will be given below of the effect mode to be shifted without winning the winning winning.
After the fall from the production mode MBX to the production mode MA1, if the number of stays staying in the production mode MAX is 1 to 50, depending on the previous stay production mode, The destination production mode is determined.

  As a specific example, when the number of stays in the production mode MAX is 1 to 50 after falling (shifting) from the production mode MB1 to the production mode MA1, it is shown in FIG. Thus, it is possible to shift to all of the effect modes MBX without using the winning as a trigger (references a1 to a3).

  However, in the case of the fall from the production mode MB2, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), without changing to the production mode MB1 (symbol b1) without triggering a hit, the production mode MB2 and MB3 are entered. (Symbols b2 and b3). Further, in the case of a fall from the production mode MB3, as shown in FIG. 18C, the production mode MB3 is not performed without triggering the hit and without changing to the production modes MB1 and MB2 (symbols c1 and c2). Shift (reference c3).

  As described above, after the transition from the effect mode MBX to the effect mode MA1, if the game is a variation game within the specified number of times (50 times) while staying in the effect mode MAX, the effect mode MA1 is selected without winning. The probability change expectation is higher than the effect mode MBX before falling, or the same effect mode MBX can be transferred. On the other hand, the transition is not made to the effect mode MBX, which has a lower expected probability of change than the effect mode MBX before falling to the effect mode MA1. In addition, after changing from the production mode MBX to the production mode MA1, if the game is a variation game that is staying in the production mode MAX and is not within the prescribed number of times (50 times), any of the production modes MBX is not won. Also do not migrate to.

  Returning to the description of the variation game start effect mode control process, in step S220 of FIG. 15, the overall control CPU 31a sets data indicating an operation valid period ("4s" in the present embodiment) in the operation validation timer. In the present embodiment, the operation effective period is defined as 4 s from the start of the variable game. Then, the overall control CPU 31a executes an operation validation process for validly setting the operation valid flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c in order to effectively control the operation of the effect button 70 (step S221). The game start time presentation mode control process is terminated.

  Next, the control process during the operation effective period executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described below with reference to FIG. The control process during the operation effective period is a process referred to during the operation effective period in which the effect mode can be shifted according to the operation of the effect button 70. The overall control CPU 31a executes the control process during the valid operation period when the valid operation flag assigned to the general control RAM 31c is valid.

  First, as shown in FIG. 19, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not an operation signal from the effect button 70 has been detected (step S251). If the determination result of step S251 is affirmative (the operation signal is detected), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S252. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S251 is negative (no operation signal is detected), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S254 without executing steps S252 and S253.

  In step S252, the overall control CPU 31a provisionally determines the effect mode according to the transition order. In this process, the overall control CPU 31a first selects the presentation mode during the stay, and changes the selected presentation mode according to the transition order (normal order or reverse order) every time the presentation button 70 is operated. Will be selected. The overall control CPU 31a has different transfer orders depending on whether the table selected in step S217 in FIG. 15 is a normal order table or a reverse order table in the normal time transfer destination determination table. Specifically, in the normal order, the overall control CPU 31a switches from the production mode MA1 to the production mode MA2, from the production mode MA2 to the production mode MA3, from the production mode MA3 to the production mode MA4, and from the production mode MA4. The production mode MA1 is selected to be changed. On the other hand, if the order is reversed, the overall control CPU 31a performs from the effect mode MA4 to the effect mode MA3, from the effect mode MA3 to the effect mode MA2, from the effect mode MA2 to the effect mode MA1, and from the effect mode MA1. The mode MA4 is selected to be changed. The result determined in this process is a provisional determination before the end of the operation effective period, and the effect mode selected at the end of the operation effective period is determined. Then, for each operation of the effect button 70, the overall control CPU 31a sets an effect mode designation command indicating the temporarily determined effect mode in the overall control RAM 31c (step S253), and proceeds to step S254.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the control process during the operation effective period, the overall control CPU 31a displays a provisional effect mode designation command indicating the provisionally determined effect mode set in the overall control RAM 31c at a predetermined timing. The data is output to the control board 32 (display control CPU 32a). As a result, the presentation mode provisionally determined by the display control CPU 32a can be specified.

  In step S254, the overall control CPU 31a updates the operation validation timer. In step S255, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether the operation enabling timer is “0”. If the determination result of step S255 is negative (the operation validation timer is not “0”), the overall control CPU 31a terminates the operation valid period control process without executing steps S256 and S257.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S255 is affirmative (the operation enabling timer is “0”), the overall control CPU 31a stores the overall control RAM 31c in an invalid manner to control the operation of the effect button 70. An operation invalidation process for setting the assigned operation validity flag to invalid is executed (step S256). Then, the overall control CPU 31a sets data indicating the effect mode at the end of the operation valid period in the effect mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c (step S257). Then, after that, the overall control CPU 31a ends the control process during the operation valid period.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the various processes, the overall control CPU 31a displays the effect mode flag set in step S218 and step S257 when a predetermined time (4 s) has elapsed since the start of the variable game. The presentation mode designation command corresponding to the readout and presentation mode flag is output to the display control board 32. For this reason, when transitioning to other production modes MAX and MBX without staying in the winning mode while staying in the production mode MAX, the overall control CPU 31a outputs the production mode designation command at the same timing. It will be.

  In this way, the overall control CPU 31a does not win a win, and when the transition condition between the effect modes MAX (plural types of first effect modes) is established, the effect is determined according to the operation of the effect button 70. It will be decided whether or not to change the mode. On the other hand, the overall control CPU 31a does not win a win, and when either the transition condition for transitioning from the rendering mode MAX to the rendering mode MBX or the transition condition for transitioning from the rendering mode MBX to the rendering mode MAX is satisfied. Regardless of the operation of the effect button 70, the effect mode is shifted.

  Next, the hit start control process executed by the overall control CPU 31a will be described below with reference to FIGS. This winning start time control process is a process for controlling the effect during the winning game and the effect mode after the winning game ends at the start of the winning game (big hit game or small hit game). The overall control CPU 31a is configured to execute a hit start control process in response to an input of an opening command from the main control CPU 30a.

  First, as shown in FIG. 20, whether the overall control CPU 31a has won a shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) or a small hit (symbol K) based on a special symbol designation command in the winning variation game. Is determined (step S301). If the determination result in step S301 is affirmative (the winning 10R probability variation big hit or small win is won), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S302. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S301 is negative (the winning 10R probability variation big hit or small hit is not won), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S311 in FIG.

  In step S302, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the player has been won in the variable state based on the variation pattern designation command in the selected variation game. If the determination result of step S302 is affirmative (winning in the variable state), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S305. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S302 is negative (not winning in the variable state), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S303.

  In step S305, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the shortened 10R probability variable big hit (symbol G) has been won based on a special figure designation command in the winning variation game. If the determination result of step S305 is affirmative (winning for the shortened 10R probability variation big hit), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S305. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S305 is negative (the winning 10R probability variation big win is not won), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S306.

  In step S306, the overall control CPU 31a determines the transition to the production mode MD1 after the end of the big hit game, and sets the data indicating the decided production mode in the production mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c (step S306). S308), the hit start control process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in step S307, the overall control CPU 31a determines to maintain the effect mode even after the end of the small hit game. In other words, the overall control CPU 31a decides to maintain the presentation mode that is staying in the variable game won in the small hit, and the data indicating the decided presentation mode is used as the presentation mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c. (Step S308), and the control process at the time of hitting is terminated.

  On the other hand, in step S303, the CPU 31a for overall control refers to the big hit transition destination determination table shown in FIG. 23, and mainly performs the presentation mode, the type of win, Based on the gaming state, the effect mode to be transferred is determined. Then, the overall control CPU 31a sets data indicating the determined effect mode in the effect mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c (step S308), and ends the hit start control process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the control process at the start of winning, the overall control CPU 31a reads the value from the presentation mode flag in the overall control RAM 31c after the assigned big hit game is finished, and shows the transition destination presentation mode. A mode designation command is output to the display control board 32. This makes it possible to specify the effect mode to be shifted to the display control CPU 32a.

Here, the hit transition destination determination table in step S303 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The hit transition destination determination table is referred to as a condition that the winning 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) or the small hit (symbol K) is won in the non-changeable state, and the transition destination effect to be transferred after the winning game ends. This is a table for determining the mode, and is stored in the overall control ROM 31b. As shown in FIG. 23, in the winning transition destination determination table, the effect mode at the time of winning, the number of stays in the effect mode MAX, the last stay effect mode in which the user stayed last time, the type of the hit, and the current The gaming state, the transition destination production mode, and a random number for determining the transition destination production mode are associated with each other.

  The effect mode at the time of winning is an effect mode in the non-changeable state, and is classified into effect modes MAX and MBX. The number of stays in the effect mode MAX indicates the number of variable games that have stayed continuously in the effect mode MAX after the transition from the effect mode MBX to the effect mode MA1, and is classified into 1 to 50 times and 51 times or more. . The number of stays is specified by the value of the stay counter assigned to the overall control RAM 31c, the initial value is set in step S205 in FIG. 14, and is updated in step S214 in FIG.

  The last stay effect mode is the effect mode MBX that was before the effect mode in which the user is currently staying and stayed before falling to the effect mode MA1. In other words, except for the production mode MAX, which is the same as the production mode that is currently staying, the degree of probability change is higher than that of the production mode MAX, and immediately before falling into the production mode MA1 without being triggered. The production mode MBX that has been staying in is applicable.

  The hit type is classified into a shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) and a small hit (symbol K). As the current gaming state, since the hit-time transition destination determination table is referred to while staying in the production modes MAX and MBX, it is not in the variable state and is in the non-variable state, Categorized as a probable variation state. The transition destination production mode is classified into production modes MBX and MD1, and the production mode MAX is not applicable.

  As a specific example, in the case where the effect mode at the time of winning is the effect mode MAX, the number of stays in the effect mode MAX is 1 to 50, and the last stay effect mode is MB2, the small hit ( When the symbol K) is won, the effect mode MB2 is determined with a probability of 210/251, and the effect mode MB3 is determined with a probability of 41/251. In this case, the production mode MB1 is not shifted.

  In this way, by referring to the winning transition destination determination table, the effect mode at the time of winning, the number of stays in the effect mode MAX, the last stay effect mode that was staying in the previous time, the type of winning, and the current Based on the gaming state, the transition destination production mode is determined.

  In particular, if the winning 10R probability change big hit (symbol G) is won in the probability changing state, the probability changing state and the changing state are always given after the shortened 10R big hit game ends, and therefore, the transition to the production mode MD1 is required. Become.

  In addition, it is controlled so as not to shift to the production mode having a lower probability of expectation than the production mode at the time of winning. For example, when the effect mode at the time of winning is the effect mode MB1, the effect mode at the time of winning is set to the effect mode MAX, and when the effect mode at the time of winning is the effect mode MB2, the effect mode at the time of winning is set to the effect modes MAX and MB1. In the case of the effect mode MB3, control is performed so as not to shift to the effect modes MAX, MB1, MB2. Also, when the effect mode at the time of winning is the effect mode MAX, control is performed so as not to shift to the effect mode MAX.

  In addition, when winning a shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) in the non-probable change state, or winning a small hit (symbol K) in the probabilistic state, wins a small hit (symbol K) in the non-probable change state. It is controlled so as to shift to a production mode with a high probability of change with a higher probability. That is, when the probability variation state is given after the end of the hit game (big hit game or small hit game), it shifts to a production mode with a high probability variation expectation with a higher probability than when the probability variation state is not granted. . In the case of winning the shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) in the non-probable change state and the case of winning the small hit (symbol K) in the probability change state, the transition destination effect mode is determined with the same probability.

  Further, when the effect mode at the time of winning is the effect mode MAX, when the number of stays in the effect mode MAX is 1 to 50 times, control is performed so as not to shift to an effect mode lower than the previous stay effect mode. As a specific example, in a variable game 1 to 50 times since the fall from the production mode MB2 to the production mode MA1, when the winning 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) is won in a non-probable variation state, or the probability variation state. Regardless of whether or not a small winning (symbol K) is won, the mode is shifted to the rendering modes MB2 and MB3 without shifting to the rendering modes MAX and MB1. On the other hand, when the effect mode at the time of winning is the effect mode MAX, when the number of stays in the effect mode MAX is 51 or more, control is performed so as to shift to the effect mode MBX regardless of the previous stay effect mode. The

  As described above, when the winning of the shortened 10R probability variation big hit (symbol G) and the small hit (symbol K) is triggered, the transition control of the effect mode is performed as in the case where the winning of the winning is not triggered. As shown in FIG. 18, after the transition from the production mode MBX to the production mode MA1, if the game is a fluctuation game within the specified number of times (50 times) while staying in the production mode MAX, the shortened 10R probability change big hit or small hit By winning, it is possible to shift to the production mode MBX having a higher probability of expected change than the production mode MBX before falling to the production mode MA1. On the other hand, the transition is not made to the effect mode MBX, which has a lower expected probability of change than the effect mode MBX before falling to the effect mode MA1. In addition, after the transition from the production mode MBX to the production mode MA1, if the game is a variation game that is staying in the production mode MAX and is not within the prescribed number of times (50 times), the winning 10R probability variation big hit or small win is won. Thus, it is possible to shift to the production mode MBX.

Returning to the description of the control process at the time of hitting, in step S311 of FIG. 21, the overall control CPU 31a uses 10 R big hits as decorations other than [3] and [7], based on the special figure designation command in the winning variation game. It is determined whether or not (symbols C to F, H to J) have been won.
If a fixed stop is displayed other than [3] and [7] as a decoration at the time of winning the 10R jackpot, it is not determined that the probability change state is given after the 10R jackpot game ends. On the other hand, if the decoration figure that is confirmed and stopped at the time of winning the 10R jackpot is [3], it will be confirmed that the probability change state is given after the 10R jackpot game is over. In other words, the confirmation stop display of the decoration [3] at the time of winning the 10R jackpot is equivalent to a probability change confirmation effect informing that the probability change state is given after the 10R jackpot game ends, and is executed before the start of the 10R jackpot game. Will be. In addition, [7] is not displayed as a decoration stop when the 10R jackpot is won.

  If the determination result of step S311 is affirmative (the winning control is a 10R jackpot other than the decoration [3] [7]), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S312. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S311 is negative (other than the decoration [3] and [7], the 10R jackpot is not won), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S321 in FIG.

  In step S312, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the player is won in the variable state based on the change pattern designation command in the selected change game. If the determination result of step S312 is affirmative (winning in the variable state), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S317. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S312 is negative (not winning in the variable state), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S313.

  In step S313, the overall control CPU 31a determines a sign effect to be executed with reference to the sign effect determination table shown in FIG. Then, the overall control CPU 31a refers to the probability variation promotion effect determination table shown in FIG. 25, and determines the probability modification promotion effect to be executed (step S314). Then, the overall control CPU 31a sets, in the overall control RAM 31c, data indicating the indication effect and the probable change promotion effect determined in steps S313 and S314 as the effects to be executed (step S315), and proceeds to step S316. This probability variation promotion effect is performed in a predetermined round game (sixth round game) in the jackpot game, and is an effect for notifying whether it is a probability variation jackpot or a non-probability variation jackpot.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the control process at the time of starting the hit, the overall control CPU 31a stores data indicating the indication effect and the probable change promotion effect set in the overall control RAM 31c at the start of a predetermined round game. A round command indicating the types of indication effect and probability change promotion effect to be read and executed is output to the display control board 32. This makes it possible to specify the sign effect and the probable promotion effect to be executed by the display control CPU 32a.

Here, the indication effect determination table in step S313 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The signage effect determination table is referred to as a main condition that the 10R jackpot other than the decorations [3] and [7] is won in the variable state, and before the execution of the probable promotion effect during the jackpot game, the type of the effect Is a table for determining the type of indication effect for suggesting, and is stored in the overall control ROM 31b. The probability variation promotion effect is an effect capable of notifying the provision of the probability variation state during the big hit game. As shown in FIG. 24, the indication effect determination table includes a type of jackpot, a variation pattern at the time of winning, a decoration drawing at the time of winning, a type of indication effect, and a random number for determining the type of indication effect. Are associated.

  The types of jackpots are special 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol C), first to third 10R probability variation jackpots (symbols D to F), and first to third 10R non-probability variation jackpots (symbols H to J). ,are categorized. In addition, the variation pattern at the time of winning is classified into the variation patterns P24 and P34 and the variation pattern P44 because the indication effect determination table is referred to when the 10R jackpot is won in the variable state. The decorations at the time of winning are classified into [1] [5] and [2] [4] [6]. The types of indication effects are classified into indication effects EA to EC.

  As a specific example, when the decoration pattern [5] is confirmed and stopped in the variation pattern P24, and a special 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol C) is won, an indication of 135/251 as an indication effect type The effect EA is determined at a probability of 114/251, and the effect effect EB is determined at a probability of 2/251, respectively. In addition, when the decorative pattern [2] is confirmed and stopped in the variation pattern P44, and the first 10R probability variation big hit (symbol D) is won, the sign effect EA has a probability of 220/251 as the kind of sign effect. The sign effect EB is determined with a probability of 25/251, and the sign effect EC is determined with a probability of 6/251.

  In this way, by referring to the indication effect determination table, the type of indication effect is determined based on the type of jackpot, the variation pattern at the time of winning, and the decoration drawing at the time of winning. In particular, when a 10R jackpot (designs C to F) to which a probable change state is awarded, a predictive effect EC may be determined, but a 10R jackpot (designs H to J) that is not given a probable condition is won. In such a case, the sign effect EC is not determined. For this reason, when the indication effect EC is determined, it is determined that the 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given is won.

  In addition, when the 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given is won, the predictive effect EC is determined with a higher probability in the variation pattern P44 than in the variation patterns P24 and P34. For this reason, even when the same variable state is given, the change state is triggered by the winning of 10R jackpot than the case after the transition from the non-changed state to the variable state triggered by the winning of 10R jackpot It is easier to specify that the 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given is won from the indication effect when it is after continuing.

  In addition, when winning 10R big hit (symbols C to F) to which a probable change state is awarded, the predictive effect EB has a higher probability than when winning 10R big hit (symbols H to J) not being given a probable change state. It is determined. On the other hand, when winning 10R jackpot (symbols H to J) to which a probable change state is not awarded, it is a predictive effect with a higher probability than when winning 10R jackpot (symbols C to F) to which a probable change state is awarded. EA is determined. For this reason, when the indication effect EB is determined, the expected degree of 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given becomes higher than when the indication effect EA is determined.

  That is, when the predictive effect EB is determined, the expected degree of 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given becomes higher than when the predictive effect EA is determined, and when the predictive effect EC is determined, The expected degree of 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given becomes higher than when the indication effect EB is determined.

  In addition, when the decoration diagram [1] [5] is determined, the predictive effect EB is determined with a higher probability than when the decoration diagram [2] [4] [6] is determined, and the decoration is displayed. The sign effect EC is determined with a higher probability when the figures [2], [4], and [6] are determined than when the decoration figures [1] and [5] are determined. In addition, according to the decoration determination table shown in FIG. 11, when the decoration [1] [5] is determined, the probability variation expectation is higher than when the decoration [2] [4] [6] is determined. Is expensive. For this reason, when the probability variation expectation is high, the predictive effect EB is determined with a higher probability than when it is low, and the predictive effect EA is determined with a lower probability than when it is low. That is, among the decoration drawings [1] [2] [4] to [6], when the decoration figure [1] [5] with a high probability change expectation is displayed in a fixed stop state, the decoration illustration with a low probability change expectation is displayed. [2] [4] [6] The sign effect EB is determined with a higher probability than when the fixed stop display is displayed, and the predictor is displayed with a lower probability than when the decoration drawing with a low probability change expectation is displayed with the fixed stop display. A production EA is determined.

In addition, the probability variation promotion effect determination table in step S314 will be described below with reference to FIG.
The probability variation promotion effect determination table is referred to as a main condition that the 10R jackpot other than the decoration drawings [3] and [7] is won in the variation state, and the probability variation promotion effect is performed or the probability variation non-promotion effect is performed. And is stored in the overall control ROM 31b. As shown in FIG. 25, the probability variation promotion effect determination table is for determining the type of jackpot, the variation pattern at the time of winning, the type of predictive effect, the type of probability variation promotion effect, and the type of probability change promotion effect. Random numbers are associated.

  The types of jackpots are special 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol C), first to third 10R probability variation jackpots (symbols D to F), and first to third 10R non-probability variation jackpots (symbols H to J). ,are categorized. In addition, the variation pattern at the time of winning is classified into the variation patterns P24 and P34 and the variation pattern P44 because the indication effect determination table is referred to when the 10R jackpot is won in the variable state. The types of indication effects are classified into indication effects EA to EC. The probability variation promotion effect is an effect capable of notifying the provision of the probability variation state in a predetermined round game (fifth round game) in the big hit game, and is classified into a success effect and a failure effect. The success effect is an effect that determines the assignment of the probability change state, and the failure effect is an effect that cannot specify whether the probability change state is assigned or not.

  As a specific example, when the predictive effect EA is executed in the variation pattern P24 when the special 10R probable big hit (symbol C) is won, as the probable change promotion effect, a successful effect with a probability of 250/251, Failure productions are respectively determined with a probability of 1/251. In addition, when the first 10R non-probable big hit (symbol H) is won and the predictive effect EB is executed, the failure effect is determined with a probability of 251/251 as the probability change promotion effect, and the successful effect is not determined. .

  Thus, by referring to the probability variation promotion effect determination table, the type of probability variation promotion effect is determined based on the type of jackpot, the variation pattern at the time of winning, and the type of predictive effect. In particular, when a 10R jackpot (symbols C to F) to which a probability change state is given is won, either a success or a failure effect is executed as a probability change promotion effect, but a 10R jackpot that is not assigned a probability change state. When (symbols H to J) are won, the failure effect is executed without executing the success effect. For this reason, when winning 10R jackpot (symbols H to J) to which the probability variation state is not granted, a failure rendering that cannot be specified whether the probability variation state is imparted or not is always determined as the probability variation promotion effect. There is no execution of a success effect that confirms the assignment of the probability variation state.

  Also, when the indication effect EC is executed, the success effect is executed as the probability change promotion effect without executing the failure effect. According to the sign effect determination table shown in FIG. 24, when the sign effect EC is executed, it is determined that the 10R jackpot (symbols C to F) to which the probability variation state is given is won. For this reason, when the predictive effect EC is executed, a successful effect that confirms the assignment of the probability change state is always executed as the probability change promotion effect, and it cannot be specified whether the probability change state is given or not given. Failure production is not decided.

  In addition, when the special 10R probability variation big hit (symbol C) is won, the success production is as a probability change promotion effect with a higher probability than when the first to third 10R probability variable big hits (symbols D to F) are won. Executed.

  In addition, in the case where the first to third 10R probability variation big hits (designs D to F) are won, when the predictive effect EB is determined, the probability change promotion effect has a higher probability than when the predictive effect EA is determined. Successful performance is executed. According to the sign effect determination table shown in FIG. 24, the expectation level for 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given is higher when the sign effect EB is executed than when the sign effect EA is executed. For this reason, the higher the degree of expectation for 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given, the higher the probability than the low probability, the successful performance is executed as the probability variation promotion effect.

  In addition, when the 10R jackpot to which the probability change state is given is won, the success effect is determined as the probability change promotion effect with a higher probability in the case of the variation pattern P44 than in the case of the variation patterns P24 and P34. For this reason, even when the same variable state is given, the change state is triggered by the winning of 10R jackpot than the case after the transition from the non-changed state to the variable state triggered by the winning of 10R jackpot In the case of continuing, it is easier to specify that the 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is given is won from the successful performance as the probability variation promotion effect.

  Returning to the description of the control process at the time of hitting, in step S316 of FIG. 21, the overall control CPU 31a shifts to the effect mode MD1 or ME1 after the end of the big hit game, based on the type of probability variation promotion effect determined in step S315. To decide. Specifically, when the successful effect is determined as the probability change promotion effect in step S315, the overall control CPU 31a determines the transition to the effect mode MD1, and in step S315, the failure effect is determined as the probability change promotion effect. If so, the transition to the production mode ME1 is determined. Then, the overall control CPU 31a sets an effect mode designation command indicating the determined effect mode in the overall control RAM 31c (step S319), and ends the hit start control process.

  On the other hand, in step S317, the overall control CPU 31a determines the transition to the presentation mode MC1 after the end of the big hit game, and uses the data indicating the decided presentation mode as the presentation mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c. The setting is made (step S318) and the control process at the time of hitting is ended.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the control process at the start of winning, the overall control CPU 31a reads the value from the presentation mode flag in the overall control RAM 31c after the assigned big hit game is finished, and shows the transition destination presentation mode. A mode designation command is output to the display control board 32. This makes it possible to specify the effect mode to be shifted to the display control CPU 32a.

  Further, when the winning state is the variable state at the time of winning, as shown in steps S313 to S315, the sign effect and the probable change promotion effect are executed and the mode is changed to the effect mode MD1 or ME1, but not in the variable state at the time of winning. In some cases, the sign effect and the probable promotion effect are not executed, and the effect mode MC1 is transferred unconditionally.

Here, with reference to FIG. 26, a description will be given below of the probability variation promotion effect during the 10R jackpot game and the rendering mode after the 10R jackpot game is ended when the 10R jackpot is won.
In the present embodiment, even if a similar 10R jackpot is won, the effect mode that becomes the transition destination is controlled differently depending on the game state at the time of winning and the effect mode in which the player stays.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 26, if the player wins the 10R big hit while staying in the production mode MAX, MBX in the non-changeable state, the big win symbols other than the decoration drawings [3] and [7] are confirmed and stopped. As a result, the probability change promotion effect itself is not executed, and the effect mode MC1 is entered.

  In addition, if you win 10R jackpot while staying in the production mode MC1 to ME1 in the variable state, the jackpot symbol other than the decorations [3] and [7] will be displayed in a definite stop display. It is executed and transitions to the production modes MD1 and ME1. Further, according to the predictive effect determination table shown in FIG. 24 and the probability variation promotion effect determination table shown in FIG. 25, in the effect modes MC1 to ME1 that are staying, when the 10R jackpot is won, the effect modes MD1 and ME1 are changed. When staying, the success effect is executed as the probability change promotion effect with a higher probability than when staying in the effect mode MC1.

  In this way, when winning 10R jackpot, whether or not a certain change state is given after the end of jackpot game for each 10R jackpot winning, on condition that the final stop is not displayed in the decoration [3] [7] It will shift to the production mode in which it is easy to specify whether or not. As a specific example, when the 10R jackpot is won while staying in the rendering modes MAX and MBX, the rendering mode MD1 is set after the jackpot game is over on condition that the final stop game is not displayed on the decoration [3] [7]. , The process shifts to the production mode MC1 in which it is difficult to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given more than ME1. On the other hand, when the 10R jackpot is won while staying in the production mode MC1, there is a more probable state than the production mode MC1 after the jackpot game is over, on condition that the final stop game is not displayed on the decoration [3] [7]. Transition is made to the production modes MD1 and ME1 in which it is easy to specify whether or not it has been assigned.

  In addition, when the 10R jackpot is won, on the condition that the final stop is not displayed in the decorations [3] and [7], the effect mode when the effect mode staying at the time of winning is the effect mode MD1, ME1 is better. The success effect is easier to be executed than in the case of MC1, and it is easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state is imparted from the probability variation promotion effect. That is, in the case where the user is staying in the production modes MD1 and ME1, the production result (success production, failure production) in the probable change promotion production is higher in precision than in the case where the production mode MC1 is staying. Therefore, as the production mode staying at the time of winning the 10R jackpot, the production mode MC1 is more successful than the production modes MAX and MBX, and the production modes MD1 and ME1 are more successful productions than the production mode MC1. It is easy to be executed.

  In addition, during the stay in the production modes MC1 to ME1, when winning the 10R jackpot to which the probability variation state is granted, the jackpot game ends on the condition that the successful rendering has been executed as the probability variation promotion effect by the end of the jackpot game. Later, the production mode MD1 is entered. On the other hand, when staying in the production modes MC1 to ME1, regardless of whether or not a probable change state is granted, if a 10R big win is won, a successful production will not be executed as a promising promotion promotion by the end of the big win game. As a condition, after the big hit game is over, the process shifts to the effect mode ME1. It should be noted that, while staying in the production mode MC1 to ME1 in the variable state, the decoration [3] is confirmed and stopped only when the special 10R probability variation big win is won, and the performance mode MD1 is executed without executing the probability variation promotion effect. May be moved to.

  In addition, during the stay in the production modes MAX and MBX, the big hit symbols other than the decoration drawings [3] and [7] are fixedly stopped and displayed, and the mode is changed to the production mode MC1 only when the 10R big hit is won. On the other hand, if you win 10R jackpot while staying in the production modes MC1 to ME1, if you win the 10R jackpot with the winning illustrations on the decorations [3] and [7], or the jackpot other than 10R jackpot If the winning is won, the production mode MC1 is not entered.

  Specifically, during the stay in the production modes MC1 to ME1, the transition to the production mode MC1 is not triggered by winning the big hit. In particular, when the 10R jackpot is won while staying in the rendering modes MC1 to ME1, the rendering mode is displayed after the jackpot game is over, regardless of whether or not the final stop game is displayed on the decoration [3] [7]. Do not shift to MC1. Of course, when the 15R probability variation jackpot (symbol A), the actual 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol B), or the special 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol C) is selected, the transition is made to the rendering mode MD1 without transitioning to the rendering mode MC1. Will be. Even if you are staying in the production modes MAX, MBX, the production will be triggered by the fact that you have won the 15R probability variation jackpot (symbol A), the real 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol B), or the shortened 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol G). The mode is shifted to the production mode MD1 without shifting to the mode MC1.

  In other words, in the effect mode MC1, the jackpot symbols other than the decorations [3] and [7] are confirmed and displayed, and the 10R jackpot is won, and the winning of the 10R jackpot is triggered to shift from the non-shortening state to the shortening state. It will be transferred only after.

  In the present embodiment, while staying in the production modes MAX and MBX, the big hit symbol of the decoration [3] is fixedly stopped and displayed, and the 10R big hit is not won. On the other hand, while staying in the production modes MC1 to ME1, the jackpot symbol of the decoration [3] is confirmed and stopped and may win the 10R jackpot, but after the jackpot game ends, the staying Regardless of the mode, the transition is made to the rendering mode MD1 without transitioning to the rendering mode MC1.

  In addition, when the overall control CPU 31a stays in the production modes MC1 and ME1, the continuation of the variable state is confirmed at the start of the 31st or 101st variable game after the end of the big hit game, Data indicating the mode MD1 is set in the effect mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c. Further, the overall control CPU 31a, when staying in the production modes MC1 and ME1, when changing from the variable state to the non-variable state at the start of the variable game, displays data indicating the production mode MA1 for the general control. The effect mode flag assigned to the RAM 31c is set.

  Then, the overall control CPU 31a reads out the production mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c at the start of the variable game, and outputs the production mode designation command corresponding to the production mode flag to the display control board 32. As a result, the overall control CPU 31a can shift from the effect modes MC1 and ME1 to the effect modes MA1 and MD1.

  Returning to the description of the control process at the time of hitting, in step S321 in FIG. 22, the overall control CPU 31a determines that the actual 10R probability change big hit (symbol B) and the special 10R probability change big hit (based on the special figure designation command in the selected variable game) It is determined whether or not the symbol C) or the first 10R probability variation jackpot (symbol D) is won. If the determination result in step S321 is affirmative (actual 10R probability variation jackpot, special 10R probability variation jackpot or first 10R probability variation jackpot is won), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S324. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S321 is negative (substantially 10R probability variation big hit, special 10R probability variation big hit, and first 10R probability variation big hit are not won), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S322.

  In step S322, the overall control CPU 31a determines whether or not the 15R probability variable big hit (symbol A) has been won with [3] as a decoration, based on the special figure designation command in the winning variation game. If the determination result of step S322 is affirmative (winning for 15R probability variation big win in decoration [3]), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S324. On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S322 is negative (not winning the 15R probability variation big hit in the decoration [3]), the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S326.

  In step S323, the overall control CPU 31a determines to execute the failure effect as the round promotion effect, and sets data indicating the failure effect in the overall control RAM 31c as the round promotion effect to be executed (step S325). This round promotion effect is executed in a predetermined round game (9th round game) in the jackpot game and is a 15R probability variable big hit, a substantial 10R probability variable big hit, a special 10R probability variable big hit, or the first 10R. This is an effect for notifying whether it is a promising big hit. Then, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S326.

  In step S324, the overall control CPU 31a determines to execute the successful effect as the round promotion effect, and sets data indicating the successful effect in the overall control RAM 31c as the round promotion effect to be executed (step S325). Then, the overall control CPU 31a proceeds to step S326. That is, if the central control CPU 31a wins the 15R probability change big hit in the decoration [3], the overall control CPU 31a controls to execute a successful effect as the round promotion effect, but the 15R probability change in the decoration [7]. In the case of winning a big hit, control is performed so that the round promotion effect itself is not executed.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the control process at the start of winning, the overall control CPU 31a reads and executes data indicating the round promotion effect set in the overall control RAM 31c at the start of a predetermined round game. A round command indicating the type of round promotion effect is output to the display control board 32. As a result, the round promotion effect to be executed by the display control CPU 32a can be specified.

  In step S326, the overall control CPU 31a determines the transition to the presentation mode MD1 after the big hit game ends, and sets the data indicating the determined presentation mode in the presentation mode flag assigned to the overall control RAM 31c ( In step S327), the hit start control process is terminated.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the control process at the start of winning, the overall control CPU 31a reads the value from the presentation mode flag in the overall control RAM 31c after the assigned big hit game is finished, and shows the transition destination presentation mode. A mode designation command is output to the display control board 32. This makes it possible to specify the effect mode to be shifted to the display control CPU 32a.

  When an effect mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 32a performs control to display various effect images on the effect display device 11 in response to the command. In particular, when the display control CPU 32a inputs an effect mode designation command for staying in the effect modes MAX, MBX, MC1, and ME1, the background image corresponding to the effect mode is displayed regardless of whether or not a certain change state is given. It is displayed on the effect display device 11.

  As a result, when the display control CPU 32a stays in the effect mode except the effect mode MD1, the display control CPU 32a executes the probability change non-deterministic effect based on the background image regardless of whether or not the current change state is given. It is not easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given. On the other hand, when the display control CPU 32a stays in the effect mode MD1, since it is determined that the probability variation state is given as the current game state, the display control CPU 32a performs control to execute the probability variation confirmation effect based on the background image. It is possible to easily identify whether or not a certain change state is given.

  Further, when the effect mode shifts in response to the winning of the winning game, the display control CPU 32a inputs the effect mode designation command at the end of the winning game, and when the variable game starts immediately after the winning game ends. Therefore, the background image corresponding to the effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 11. In addition, when the production mode shifts in response to the end and continuation of the variable state, the display control CPU 32a inputs the production mode designation command at the start of the variable game, and from the start of the variable game, A background image corresponding to the effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 11.

  On the other hand, in the case where the presentation mode shifts without triggering the winning of winning or the end and continuation of the variable state, the display control CPU 32a performs a predetermined time (in the present embodiment, 4s). ), An effect mode designation command is input, and a background image corresponding to the effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 11.

  In particular, when the production mode transitions between the production modes MAX, the operation effective period is defined from the start of the variable game to a predetermined time (4 s in the present embodiment), and the display control CPU 32 a The selection result command in step S253 of FIG. 19 may be input within the valid period. In this case, the display control CPU 32a displays a selection result image indicating an effect mode corresponding to the command. Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the variable game, the display control CPU 32a inputs an effect mode designation command in step S257 of FIG. 19 and causes the effect display device 11 to display a background image corresponding to the effect mode. In addition, when transitioning from the production mode MAX to the production mode MBX without triggering a winning win, the display control CPU 32a does not specify a valid operation period, but the display control CPU 32a has passed a predetermined time from the start of the variable game. Then, the effect mode designation command in step S218 of FIG. 15 is input, and the background image corresponding to the effect mode is displayed on the effect display device 11.

  Further, when a round command indicating a probability change promotion effect or a round promotion effect is input, the display control CPU 32a causes the effect display device 11 to display an image in the probability change promotion effect or the round promotion effect in the round game.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) After the 10R jackpot game ends, a variable state is given, but if it is a non-variable state at the time of winning, the number of times of variable state change given after the 10R big hit game ends ("until next time") From the above, it is not possible to specify whether the winning 10R jackpot with the probability variation state is won or the winning 10R jackpot with no probability variation state. For this reason, when a 10R jackpot is won in the non-variable short state, it cannot be specified whether or not the probability variation state is given after the 10R jackpot game ends. On the other hand, if the winning state is a variable state at the time of winning, it is determined from the number of changing times after the 10R jackpot game is over whether the winning 10R jackpot is awarded or the 10R jackpot is not awarded. If the winning 10R jackpot is won in the variable state, it is possible to specify whether or not the probable change state is given after the 10R jackpot game ends. Therefore, since there are both cases where it is possible to specify whether or not the probability variation state is granted and situations where it is not possible to identify the game, the game for the continuation of the game is accompanied by the number of alterations of the alteration state granted by winning the 10R jackpot. It is possible to suppress a decline in a player's motivation, to provide a harmonious game, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (2) In addition, for each 10R jackpot, a situation that is advantageous to the player in stages is provided in the order of the situation in which it is not possible to specify whether or not the probability change state has been given from the number of changes in the change state. Can improve the interest of the game.

  (3) In addition to the first 10R probable big hit and the first 10R non-probable big hit, the second 10R probable big hit with a small number of times of change after the end of the 10R big hit game in the case of a non-variable short state at the time of winning, A second 10R non-probable big hit, a third 10R probable big hit, and a third 10R non-probable big hit are defined. For this reason, even when the same 10R jackpot game is awarded, the number of times of change after the end of the 10R jackpot game can be varied, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (4) a first 10R positive variation jackpot and a first 10R non-probable big jackpot, a second 10R positive variation jackpot and a second 10R non-probable big jackpot, a third 10R positive variation jackpot and a third 10R non-probable big jackpot Then, if the number of times of change after the end of the 10R big hit game is large in the non-change state at the time of winning, the probability change probability increases. For this reason, the expectation with respect to the provision of the variable state can be enhanced, and the interest in the game can be improved. In particular, since the expected change expectation increases step by step, it is possible to further enhance the sense of expectation that the provision of the change state will continue, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (5) When winning the first 10R non-probable big jackpot, winning the second 10R non-probable big jackpot, and winning the third 10R non-probable big jackpot, there is a variable state at the time of winning. In this case, the number of times of change after the end of the 10R big hit game is different. For this reason, even when the same 10R jackpot game is awarded, the number of times of change after the end of the 10R jackpot game can be varied, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  (6) Diversifying the number of times of change after the end of 10R jackpot game can increase the chances of specifying whether or not a probable change state is given, and raises the expectation for giving a probable change state. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (7) When a 10R jackpot is won in a non-variable short state, a certain variation non-specific effect is executed regardless of whether or not a certain variation state is given. It is not possible to specify whether or not For this reason, the expectation with respect to provision of a probabilistic state can be raised, and the interest with respect to a game can be improved.

  (8) In the second variation game, it is easier to win the first 10R probability variation big hit and the first 10R probability variation big hit, the second 10R probability variation big hit, and the second 10R probability variation big hit than the first variation game. It is difficult to win the big hit, the third 10R probability variable big hit, and the third 10R non-probable big hit. Moreover, the second variation game is easier to execute in the variable state than the non-variable state, and the first variable game is difficult to execute. For this reason, it is easier to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given when the second variation game is executed than when the first variation game is executed, and the second variation game is more It is likely that the number of times of change is greater than that of one change game, and an advantageous game can be provided.

  (9) In the case where a winning 10R jackpot to which a probability variation state is given is won, if the shortening state is given at the time of winning, the number of times of shortening is larger than that in the case of winning a 10R jackpot that is not given a probability variation state. For this reason, if the provision of the variable state continues, the provision of the variable state not only improves the interest for the continuation, but also enhances the expectation for the provision of the probable state, and can improve the interest for the game. it can.

  (10) When it is notified that the specified number of rounds is 15 (the first round number), at the notified timing, the 15R probability variation big hit to which the probability variation state is given, and the fact that the 10R probability variation big hit is won. However, it is not possible to specify whether or not the open mode of the special winning opening 18 is an advantageous open mode. On the other hand, when it is notified that the specified number of rounds is 10 (second round number), it can be specified that a 10R big hit game or a shortened 10R big hit game is given at the notified timing. . However, even if it can be specified that a 10R jackpot game is awarded, it is not possible to specify whether the 10R jackpot with a certain probability change state or a 10R jackpot with no probability change status is won, and the jackpot It is not possible to specify whether or not a certain change state is given after the game ends. In this way, the jackpot is not uniquely determined from the notification of the number of rounds, but with the notification of the number of rounds, the expectation for the type of jackpot during the jackpot game can be raised, and the interest in the game is improved. Can be planned.

  (11) Also, if the specified number of rounds is 15, it is not possible to specify whether or not it is an advantageous open mode, and if the specified number of rounds is 10, whether a probability variation state is given? I cannot specify whether or not. For this reason, the notification of the number of rounds makes it impossible to specify the type of jackpot, and it can have different meanings for each, and with the notification of the number of rounds, various expectations can be given. Can be improved.

  (12) In the 10R jackpot game having the specified number of rounds of 15 and the 10R jackpot game having the number of specified rounds of 10, the degree of game balls entering the winning prize opening 18 is the same. For this reason, even if it is notified that the specified number of rounds is 15, it is not a 15R big hit game, but a real 10R big hit game, which may be equivalent to a 10R big hit game. The feeling can be maintained, and the interest for the game can be improved.

  (13) In the round game up to the end of the round game in the 10R jackpot game, it is not possible to specify which of the 15R probability variable jackpot, the actual 10R probability variable jackpot, and the 10R jackpot is won from the open mode of the big prize opening 18. In this way, the big win is not uniquely determined from the open mode of the big winning opening 18, so that the expectation for the type of the big win can be raised, and the interest for the game can be improved. Further, it is possible to attract more attention to the notification of the specified number of rounds, and to improve the interest in the game.

  (14) In a 10R big hit game, in the round game with the specified number of rounds from 11 to 15, the degree of winning of the game ball to the big winning opening 18 is lower than the number of specified rounds from 1 to 10 . For this reason, it can be realized that the winning degree of the game ball to the big winning opening 18 is substantially equal between the 10R big hit game and the 10R big hit game.

  (15) Even when the specified number of rounds is notified as 10 times, a shortened 10R jackpot game that is disadvantageous to the 10R jackpot game may be given, and the expectation for the 10R jackpot game can be maintained. It is possible to improve the interest in games.

  (16) In the second variation game, it is easier to win the 15R probability variation big hit than the first variation game, and it is difficult to win the 10R probability variation big hit. Moreover, the second variation game is easier to execute in the variable state than the non-variable state, and the first variable game is difficult to execute. For this reason, when the second variation game is executed, an advantageous big hit game is given and an advantageous game can be provided, compared with the case where the first variation game is executed.

  (17) By winning 10R jackpot, it is either one of whether or not a certain change state is given, and even if it becomes the same gaming state to which a change state is given, a change state is given at the time of winning Whether or not any variation pattern is selected from the special variation pattern group differs depending on whether or not it has been set. For this reason, even if it is the same game state, a various variation pattern can be determined and the interest with respect to a game can be improved by performing an effective production.

  (18) In addition, when the 10R big hit is won in the non-variable short state, the short state is given after the end of the 10R big hit game, and any variation content is determined from the special variation pattern group. Then, after the 10R jackpot game is over, if the 10R jackpot is won in the variable state, the variable state is given after the 10R jackpot game is over, and any variation pattern is determined from the non-special variation pattern group. In this way, the variation pattern group is different from the non-variable short state in the order of the special variation pattern group and the non-special variation pattern group, and if the 10R big hit is won, even in the same gaming state, the variation pattern step by step. It is possible to determine various contents of variation, and to improve the fun of the game by executing an effective performance.

  (19) Also, in the case of winning a similar 10R jackpot, even if the game state is the same for the probability change state and the change state, depending on whether or not the change state is given at the time of winning, The selected variation pattern group can be made different. For this reason, a variation pattern group is not uniquely determined by the type of jackpot, and various variation patterns can be determined. By executing an effective performance, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (20) When any variation content is determined from the special variation pattern group, the special effect is executed based on the number of times of variation determined as the upper limit. For this reason, the number of times of change determined as the upper limit can be predicted by a special effect based on the special change pattern group. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing an effective performance.

  (21) It is one of whether or not a certain change state is given, and even in the same game state given a change state, a plurality of first special change pattern groups and second special change pattern groups are used. Various variation patterns can be determined by selecting any one of a group of variation patterns. In addition, since the selection of a plurality of types of variation pattern groups can be switched multiple times during the same gaming state, even when the other variation pattern group is selected from one variation pattern group, the other variation pattern group is again selected. From this, one variation pattern group can be selected, and various variation contents can be determined. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing an effective performance.

  (22) In a predetermined number of variation games, a variation pattern is determined from a first special variation pattern group different from the second special variation pattern group in the variation game that is not the specific number of times. A variety of variation patterns can be determined by a variation game intended by a game machine designer or the like. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing an effective performance.

  (23) A variable state is given with any one of a plurality of types of variable times as an upper limit, and any one of the variable patterns from the first special variable pattern group in a variable game corresponding to the plurality of types of variable times. To decide. For this reason, various variation patterns can be determined in the variation game corresponding to the number of variations relating to the continuation of the variation state. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing an effective performance.

  (24) When the 10R jackpot game is won, and after the end of the 10R jackpot game, when the variable state is given with an upper limit of 30 times, it is either one of whether or not the probable state is given. After the game state to which the state has been assigned has been reached, the variable state ends when the upper limit variable game is completed. On the other hand, if a variable state is given until the next big hit game is generated by winning a special 10R probability variable big hit, 30 variable games will be played after the same game state is reached. Even if it ends, the variable state does not end. For this reason, if the variable state is given after the end of the 30th variation game, it is determined that the certain variation state has been provided, and the change after the 30th variation game has ended. Attention can be given to the provision of a short state. In the 30th variation game corresponding to the 30th variation, the variation pattern is determined from the first special variation pattern group, and therefore, from the second special variation pattern group. Various variation patterns different from the variation pattern can be determined. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing an effective performance.

  (25) When any variation pattern is determined from the second special variation pattern group, the variation state is terminated based on the number of variations (10, 20, 30) determined as the upper limit. A special effect (second special effect) suggesting whether or not to perform is executed. On the other hand, when any variation pattern is determined from the first special variation pattern group, based on the number of times of variation determined as the upper limit and the type of the second special effect performed previously. Then, a special effect (first special effect) indicating whether or not the variable state ends is executed. Therefore, the number of times of change determined as the upper limit can be predicted by the second special effect based on the second special variation pattern group, while it is executed by the first special effect based on the first special variation pattern group. Depending on the type of the second special effect, the number of times of change determined as the upper limit can be specified. Therefore, in order to predict the number of times of change, the second special effect is executed, and in order to specify the number of times of change, the first special effect is executed according to the second special effect. Attention can be paid to the special effect and the second special effect, and the entertainment for the game can be improved by executing the effective effect.

  (26) Each time the 10R big hit is won, it is possible to shift to an effect mode in which it is easy to specify whether or not a certain change state is to be given. For this reason, when winning 10R big hit, it is possible to maintain a sense of expectation for the provision of the probability variation state without shifting from the beginning to the production mode in which it is easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state is imparted. On the other hand, information that is advantageous to the player can be provided by shifting to the effect mode in which it is easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given every time 10R big hit is won. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing the production according to the situation.

  In particular, it is an effect mode in which it is easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state is given on the condition that the decorative drawings [3] and [7] are not confirmed and displayed by the start of the 10R jackpot game (the probability variation confirmed effect is not executed). Transition. For this reason, it is easy to specify whether or not the probability variation state is granted after the end of the 10R big hit game even if the notification of the probability variation state is not notified by the end of the variable game. With the transition of the effect mode, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing the effect according to the situation.

  (27) Each time the 10R big hit is won, the production mode MC1, production mode MD1, ME1, and so on, a transition is made to a production mode in which it is easy to specify whether or not a certain variation state is given, in particular, In the effect mode MD1, it is decided that the certain change state is given. For this reason, it becomes easier to specify step by step whether or not a probable state is given each time a 10R jackpot is won, and by performing the production according to the situation, improving the interest in the game Can be achieved.

  (28) When staying in the production mode MAX, MBX, the probability change promotion effect itself is executed from the start to the end of the 10R jackpot game, on condition that the probability change confirmation effect is not executed by the start of the 10R jackpot game. do not do. On the other hand, when staying in any one of the production modes MC1 to ME1, there is a case where a success production (probability change confirmation production) is executed as a probability change promotion production from the start to the end of the 10R big hit game. In other words, when you are staying in any of the production modes MC1 to ME1, it is more likely than when you are staying in the production mode MAX, MBX as a probable promotion effect from the start to the end of the 10R big hit game. Successful performance can be executed. For this reason, for every 10R big hit, it is easy to execute a successful effect as a probability change promotion effect from the start to the end of the 10R big hit game, and it is possible to further easily specify the assignment of the probability change state. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing the production according to the situation.

  (29) When the user is staying in the effect mode MD1, the success effect is executed as a probable promotion effect from the start to the end of the 10R jackpot game with a higher probability than when the user is staying in the effect mode MC1. Can do. For this reason, for every 10R big hit, it is easy to execute a successful effect as a probability change promotion effect from the start to the end of the 10R big hit game, and it is possible to further easily specify the assignment of the probability change state. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by executing the production according to the situation.

  (30) When the decorative drawings [3] and [7] are confirmed and stopped (the probability variation confirmed effect is executed) before the start of the 10R jackpot game, the probability variation state is given regardless of the effect mode in which the user is staying. The production mode MD1 to be confirmed is shifted to. For this reason, when it is possible to specify that the probability variation state is to be given during the variation game, the transition is made to the effect mode MD1 in which the probability variation state is determined without making the transition to the effect mode in which the probability variation state is difficult to identify. In this way, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game by causing the performance according to the situation to be executed.

  (31) While staying in the production modes MAX, MBX, the decoration mode [3] [7] is not displayed in a definite stop (the probability change definite production is not executed). After the 10R big hit game is over, the production mode MC1 is entered. However, during the stay in any of the production modes MC1 to ME1, the production mode MC1 is not changed. For this reason, after the transition from the production modes MAX and MBX to the production mode MC1, the production mode MC1 in which it is difficult to specify whether or not the probability variation state has been given again without causing the production modes MAX and MBX to stay. By controlling so as not to be shifted, it is possible to provide information that is advantageous to the player.

  (32) While staying in the production mode MC1, in addition to the transition to the production mode MD1 where the provision of the probability variation state is confirmed, it is easier to specify whether or not the probability variation state is imparted than the production mode MC1, and the probability variation expectation Can be shifted to the production mode ME1 having a low value. For this reason, even if the probability variation state is not given, it is possible to provide information advantageous to the player by shifting to the production mode ME1 in which it is easy to specify that the probability variation probability is low.

  (33) Even if the winning mode is not won, it is possible to shift to the rendering mode MBX after shifting to the rendering mode MAX, and the rendering mode MAX is compared to the rendering mode MBX immediately before the transition to the rendering mode MA1. The production mode MBX to be transferred immediately after is not a production mode with a low probability of change. For this reason, the production mode to be shifted immediately after can be determined not only by the production mode that is staying, but also by the production mode that was staying immediately before. A feeling can be maintained and the interest for games can be improved.

  (33) There is no transition between effect modes MBX without winning. For this reason, even if it is a case where it transfers to effect mode MAX from effect mode MBX, the expectation with respect to the possibility of changing to effect mode MBX can be raised after that, and the improvement of the interest with respect to a game can be aimed at. .

  (34) In a fluctuating game within the specified number of times after shifting to the effect mode MAX, it is possible to shift to the effect mode MBX. For this reason, even if the transition is made from the production mode MBX to the production mode MAX, if the game is a variation game within the specified number of times, there is a possibility that the production mode MBX will be entered again, and the expectation for the provision of the probability variation state is maintained It is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  (35) Even if the winning 10R probability variation big hit or small win is won, after changing to the effect mode MAX, it is possible to change to the effect mode MBX, and the effect mode immediately before falling to the effect mode MA1. Compared to MBX, the effect mode MBX that is shifted immediately after the effect mode MAX does not become an effect mode with a low probability of change. For this reason, the production mode to be shifted immediately after can be determined not only by the production mode that is staying, but also by the production mode that was staying immediately before. A feeling can be maintained and the interest for games can be improved.

  (36) If the winning combination is not won, it is determined whether or not to shift between the plurality of types of effect modes MAX according to the player's operation. However, the effect mode MBX, the effect mode MAX, During this period, the transition is made regardless of the player's operation. For this reason, it is possible to control whether or not to shift between the production modes MAX with a low probability change expectation, so that an opportunity to actively participate in the game can be provided. On the other hand, the transition related to the production mode MBX with a high probability of expectation can be controlled regardless of the player's intention, thereby providing the gameability as intended by the designer of the gaming machine. .

In addition, the said embodiment can be embodied in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the notification that the round game is performed “15 times” and the notification that the round game is performed “10 times” may be performed with different probabilities in the first variation game and the second variation game.

  In the above embodiment, in the 15R jackpot game, the substantial 10R jackpot game, and the 10R jackpot game, the opening mode of the big prize opening 18 is exactly the same up to 10 rounds. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, as long as it is not specified by the player, and it is only necessary that the degree of game balls entering the big prize opening 18 is substantially the same for the 10R big hit game and the 10R big hit game.

  In the above embodiment, in the shortened 10R big hit game and the small hit game, the opening mode of the big winning opening 18 is exactly the same, but not limited to this, for example, as long as it is not specified by the player, the reduced 10R It is only necessary that the degree of game balls entering the big prize opening 18 is equal between the big hit game and the small hit game. Further, even in a shortened 10R big hit game and a small hit game, even if the degree of game balls entering the big winning opening 18 is an open mode in which it is difficult to enter one ball, or an open mode that does not reach the maximum number of winnings. An open mode capable of reaching the upper limit number of winnings may be used. In other words, 10 round games are performed, but a 2R big hit game and a small hit game may be granted in which the release mode is equivalent to the 10R big hit game halfway.

  In the above embodiment, in the substantial 10R big hit game, the opening mode of the big winning opening 18 from the 11th round to the 15th round is exactly the same as the shortened 10R big hit game and the small hit game, but it may not be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the number of times of change is the second 10R non-probable big hit than the first 10R non-probable big hit, rather than the first 10R non-probable big hit, regardless of whether or not it is in a variable state at the time of winning. Each of the third 10R non-probable big hits increases more than the probable big hit, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be the same or fewer.

  -In the said embodiment, although various 10R big hits were prescribed | regulated, it is not restricted to this. For example, if the first 10R probability variation jackpot and the first 10R non-probability variation jackpot are defined, other 10R jackpots may not be defined. In other words, at least a pair of probabilistic jackpots and non-probable jackpots to which a similar jackpot game is awarded is defined. On the other hand, if it is in the variable state at the time of winning, it is only necessary to provide a variable state with a different number of variable times. The same number of times of change may be both the number of times of change with an upper limit and the number of times of change until the next jackpot game is generated and the number of times of change until the next time when the variable state is given. Either one may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the special variation pattern group and the non-special variation pattern group, which are all different in the variation pattern to be configured, are defined. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A variation pattern group and a non-special variation pattern group may be defined.

  In the above embodiment, the first special variation pattern group and the second special variation pattern group in which all the variation patterns to be configured are different are defined, but not limited to this, for example, at least a part of the variation patterns to be configured A first special variation pattern group and a second special variation pattern group that are different from each other may be defined.

  In the above embodiment, as the special effect, the second special effect that suggests whether or not the variable state is continued is executed, the content of the effect is stored, and the change is made based on the effect content of the second special effect. A first special effect indicating whether or not to continue the short state was executed. However, it is not necessary to refer to the special effects previously executed in this way. In addition, as a special effect, either an effect indicating whether or not to continue the variable state, an effect indicating whether or not to continue the variable state may be executed, and neither is executed. Also good. Moreover, when the variable state continues in the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth variable games among the variable games that execute special effects, the total points become the upper limit (for example, “20”) in the variable games. Although the control is performed so that the upper limit is not reached before that, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control may be performed so that the upper limit is set before that. Thus, the continuation of the variable state can be specified before becoming a variable game corresponding to a predetermined number of variable times, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  -In the above embodiment, winning a 10R jackpot in the non-variable short state is one of whether or not a certain variable state has been granted, and has become a specific gaming state to which a short state has been assigned. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a game state in which a probability change state is always given and a probability change state and a change state are assigned may be used. In addition, for example, a game state in which a probability change state is not necessarily given and a non-probability change state or a change state is given may be used. Of course, the non-variable state may be used.

  In the above embodiment, if the variable state may end after the end of the variable game, the immediately preceding variable game (for example, the 10th, 20th, 30th after the end of the 10R big hit game) The first special variation pattern group was selected and the second special variation pattern group was selected otherwise. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when there is a possibility that the variable state may end after the end of the variable game, the variable game immediately after that (for example, the 11th and 21st times after the end of the 10R big hit game) In the 31st variation game), the first special variation pattern group may be selected, and the second special variation pattern group may be selected otherwise. In other words, it may be a variable game corresponding to a plurality of types of variable number of times determined in advance.

In the above embodiment, the variable game is a specific number of times determined in advance after entering a specific game state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a variable game that is not predetermined may be used. It is not necessary to count the number of variable games.
In the above embodiment, various types of 10R big hits are defined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one type of big hit may be used regardless of whether or not a probability variation state is given.

  In the above embodiment, in the same gaming state without winning a big hit, switching from the first special variation pattern group to the second special variation pattern group is performed three times, and the second special variation pattern group to the first special variation pattern Switching to the group was performed twice. However, the switching from the first special variation pattern group to the second special variation pattern group and the switching from the second special variation pattern group to the first special variation pattern group may be performed at least once each. That is, it is only necessary to switch the selection between the first special variation pattern group and the second special variation pattern group a plurality of times.

  In the above embodiment, the probability that a successful production is executed as a probable promotion effect is defined to be higher during the stay in the production mode MD1, ME1 than during the stay in the production mode MC1, but not limited to this, for example, Even if it prescribes | regulates that staying in production mode MD1 and ME1 is low, it may be the same. Moreover, the probability that a successful effect will be performed as a probability change promotion effect may be prescribed | regulated irrespective of the effect mode during stay.

  In the above embodiment, when the 10R jackpot is won while staying in the production modes MAX and MBX, the probability change promotion effect itself is not executed, but the probability change promotion effect itself may be executed.

  -In the above embodiment, it has been notified that a promising state is given after the end of the jackpot game by executing a success effect as a promising promotion effect during the jackpot game, but not limited to this, for example, during a jackpot game Alternatively, the decoration drawing may be re-variable to notify the decoration drawings [3] and [7] by causing the decoration drawings [3] and [7] to be confirmed and stopped. In addition, the probability variation promotion effect may not be executed regardless of the effect mode in which the player stays at the time of winning.

  -In the above embodiment, the fact that the jackpot symbol other than the decorations [3] and [7] has been confirmed and stopped is displayed, so that the probability change state is given after the jackpot game is finished before the jackpot game is started. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a notification other than a decoration drawing, such as a background image or a reserved image, may be provided without using a decoration drawing. In addition, before the start of the jackpot game, the notification itself that the probability variation state is given after the end of the jackpot game may not be performed.

  In the above embodiment, if the production mode is more easily specified than the production mode MC1, it is not necessary to set the production mode MD1 to the production mode in which it is not determined that the certain variation state is given. Good. Further, if it is an effect mode in which it is easier to specify that the probability variation state is given than the effect mode MC1, the effect mode ME1 may not be the effect mode in which it is determined that the probability change state is not given.

  In the above embodiment, the effect mode MC1 may be defined as an effect mode in which it is easier to specify that the probability variation state is given than the effect modes MAX and MBX. As a specific example, it is easier to specify that the certain change state is given than the production modes MAX and MBX, and it is difficult to specify than the production modes MD1 and ME1, and the production mode has a high degree of expected change. You may comprise so that production mode with low expectation may be prescribed | regulated. In addition, if there is a case where a transition is made to an easy-to-specify effect mode for every 10R jackpot winnings other than decorative drawings [3] and [7], it is shifted to an effect mode where it is easy to specify that the probability variation state is given step by step. It may not be allowed.

  In the above embodiment, the first special effect mode is the effect mode in the non-variable state where the variable state is not given, the second special effect mode, and the third special effect mode are the effect modes in the variable state. However, it is good also considering the 1st-3rd production mode as the production mode in a variable state. Also, in this case, for example, the number of consecutive wins won for 10R big hit in the variable state may be counted without entering the non-variable state, and the transition destination production mode may be determined based on the continuous number. . As a specific example, when the opening control command from the main control board 30 is input, the overall control CPU 31a determines the gaming state at the time of winning and the winning type. When the overall control CPU 31a wins the 10R jackpot in the variable speed state, the overall control CPU 31a updates the continuous winning counter assigned to the overall control RAM 31c, and counts the number of consecutive wins won in the variable speed state. Then, the overall control CPU 31a shifts to the first special effect mode when the 10R big hit is won in the non-variable state. Further, when the overall control CPU 31a wins the first 10R jackpot in the variable state, the overall control CPU 31a wins the 10R jackpot from the first special effect mode to the second special effect mode and the second and subsequent 10R jackpots in the variable state. In this case, the second special effect mode may be shifted to the third special effect mode.

  In the above embodiment, when the winning mode is won while staying in the production mode MAX, if the game is a variable game within a predetermined number of times after the transition to the production mode MA1, it falls to the production mode MA1. It was made not to shift to the production mode with a lower probability of expectation than the production mode MBX that was staying just before. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and, for example, a transition may be made to an effect mode with a lower probability of expectation than the effect mode MBX that was staying immediately before falling to the effect mode MA1.

  In the above embodiment, the specific condition is that the game is a variable game within a predetermined number of times after the transition to the production mode MA1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may not be predetermined. . Moreover, it does not need to be concerned with the frequency | count of a variable game.

  In the above embodiment, without winning the winning, the transition from the rendering mode MBX to the rendering mode MA1 and the transition to the rendering modes MA2 to MA4 is not limited to this. You may transfer to either.

-In above-mentioned embodiment, it is good also as possible to transfer to production mode MBX from production mode MAX by not satisfying specific conditions, without winning a win.
In the above embodiment, the shortened 10R probability variable big hit and the small hit are specified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the small hit need not be specified. A shortened 10R non-probability variable jackpot may be defined in which a probability change state is not given after the jackpot game ends.

  In the above embodiment, the winning mode is not won and the transition between the effect modes MBX is not performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a part of all the transitions between the effect modes MBX may be possible. For example, it is possible to make a transition between the production mode MB1 and the production mode MB2 without winning, but not to make a transition between the production modes MB1 and MB2 and the production mode MB3 with the highest probability of change. May be. Further, for example, it may be possible to shift to an effect mode having a higher probability of expectation than that of the staying effect mode, and not to shift to an effect mode having a lower probability of expected change than the effect mode of staying. Further, for example, it may be possible to shift between all the rendering modes MBX.

  In the above embodiment, the overall control CPU 31a can specify that the type of jackpot game or the jackpot game is given based on a special figure designation command at the start of a variable game that is a jackpot or jackpot. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a command for designating the type of jackpot game to be given or a game for small hits may be used instead of a special figure designation command for designating a special figure.

  In the above embodiment, there are a first variation game and a second variation game, and the second variation game is preferentially executed over the first variation game. The first variation game and the second variation game may be executed in accordance with the winning order to the winning opening 14 and the second start winning opening 15. Further, the first variation game and the second variation game may be executed simultaneously. Of course, a plurality of variable games may not be defined.

  In the above embodiment, the probability variation state is given until the next big hit game occurs, but not limited to this, the probability variation state is limited to a predetermined number of probability variation (for example, 50 times) as an upper limit. And a non-probability change state may be made after the end of the change game of the probability change number.

  -In the above embodiment, depending on the type of jackpot, it is determined whether or not a probability change state is given after the jackpot game ends, but not limited to this, the end of the jackpot game regardless of the type of jackpot Later, a probability variation state that is advantageous to the player may be given (probability rush rate 100%).
