Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a technique related to a game effect when a special game is being performed.

  Conventionally, in a general pachinko gaming machine, a plurality of winning holes are provided in a game area where a game ball can flow down, and a player operates a launch handle to launch a game ball in the game area to play a game. When the game ball is won at the winning opening, several to ten or more game balls can be obtained as a prize ball for each game ball.

  In recent mainstream models, when a game ball wins a start opening provided in the game area, determination information is acquired when the start condition is satisfied, and it is determined whether or not it is a `` big hit '' based on the determination information, and the determination result is The determination symbol shown is stopped and displayed on the symbol display after the symbol variation is displayed. When it is determined that the game is a “hit”, the special game (hit game) that the big winning opening provided in the game area is released over a plurality of R (rounds) after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the symbol display. Done. Therefore, a plurality of game balls can win the big prize opening and a considerable number of game balls can be obtained.

  When it is determined as “big hit”, the type of big hit symbol to be stopped and displayed on the symbol display is further determined, so that any one of a plurality of advantageous special games having different degrees of advantage (the number of game balls that can be acquired) is determined. It is determined whether or not to perform. In other words, depending on the type of jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed on the symbol display, an advantageous special game with a low advantage (for example, about 500 game balls can be obtained) or a high advantage (for example, about 2000) An advantageous special game (where you can acquire individual game balls) is performed.

  The acquired determination information is temporarily stored (held) in the hold storage unit, and when the number of hold determination information (hold number) is generally less than 4, the start condition is satisfied when the game ball wins the start opening. The determination information is newly acquired and stored in the hold storage unit. The determination information stored in the holding storage unit is erased (holding digestion) for determining whether or not it is a “big hit” in the order in which it is sequentially acquired every time the symbols are displayed in a variable manner.

  By the way, when the symbol is displayed in a variable manner based on the determination result of whether or not it is a “big hit”, when the special game is performed, the symbol variation effect suggesting the big hit expectation degree determined as the “big hit” The special game effects that excite the special game are mainly displayed on the image display, and the game performance and the game entertainment are enhanced by such game effects.

  Here, in the special game production, it is actually advantageous after pretending that a special game with a low degree of advantage is being performed, or making the apparent degree of advantage of the special game being performed at a glance. A technique for performing a so-called promotion effect that suggests (notifies) that a special game with a high degree is being performed is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Now, the applicant of the present application provides a specific area in the special winning opening, and depending on the type of jackpot symbol, either a special game in which the game ball easily passes through the specific area or a special game in which the game ball does not easily pass through the specific area. If a game ball passes a specific area when a special game is being performed, a high probability game state with a high probability (eg, 1/68) that is determined to be a “hit” after the special game ends If a game ball does not pass through a specific area, a pachinko game machine that sets a low-probability gaming state with a low probability of jackpot (for example, 1/400) after the special game ends is being put into practical use.

JP 2012-120929 A

  In a pachinko machine where the game state set after the end of the special game is uniquely determined by the type of jackpot symbol displayed before the start of the special game, in the special game production when the special game is performed The effect process for notifying the game state set after the end of the special game can be performed relatively easily.

  However, as described above, a special game in which a game ball easily passes through a specific area and a special game in which the game ball does not easily pass through the specific area are performed. In a pachinko gaming machine that sets a high probability gaming state when passing a specific area and sets a low probability gaming state when a game ball does not pass the specific area, a special game in which the game ball easily passes the specific area is performed. Therefore, without giving consideration to whether the game ball has passed the specific area, it is not possible to appropriately and effectively produce an effect for notifying the game state set after the end of the special game.

  Therefore, if the V winning effect is performed after the game ball passes through the specific area, it is possible to definitely notify that the high probability gaming state is set after the special game is ended by the V winning effect. However, if the V winning effect is not performed during the period in which the game ball can pass through the specific area only by performing this V winning effect at the timing when the game ball passes through the specific area, after the special game ends. It is determined that the high probability gaming state is not set, and thereafter, the player cannot have the expectation that the high probability gaming state is set after the end of the special game.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that improves the above problems.

The first invention (the gaming machine (1)) includes a determination means (34a) for determining whether or not to perform a special game advantageous to the player based on the determination information acquired by establishment of the start condition, When it is determined by the determination means (34a) that the special game is to be performed, the game ball can be inserted into the special winning opening (13a, 14a) provided in the game area (4a) where the game ball can flow down. A special game execution means (36) for performing the special game including a game, and a low probability state in which the probability determined to perform the special game by the determination means (34a) is set to a predetermined probability or the predetermined probability Game state control means (50) for controlling the game in a high probability state set with a higher probability than the above , and game effect control means (60) for causing the predetermined effect means (69) to perform the game effect, The special game execution means (36) performs the release game a plurality of times in the special game, and performs a predetermined open game. The first special game in which the game ball that has entered the special winning opening (14a) easily passes through the predetermined area (14f), and the game ball is in the predetermined area in the predetermined opening game. (14f) It is possible to perform any special game of the second special game that performs the second open game that is difficult to pass through. The game state control means (50) is controlled by the special game execution means (36). When the special game is being performed, if the game ball that has entered the special winning opening (14a) passes through the predetermined area (14f), the game is controlled in the high probability state after the special game ends, If the game ball does not pass through the predetermined area (14f), the game is controlled in the low probability state after the special game ends, and the game effect control means (60) is controlled by the special game execution means (36). When the first special game is performed, the first open game in the first special game is performed. Before the first opening game, the first suggestion effect suggesting that the first open game is performed and the second suggestion effect not suggesting that the first open game is performed are performed. When the second special game is performed by the special game execution means (36), the second suggestion effect can be performed before the second open game in the second special game is performed. high probability of the suggested presentation control means (62c), notifying that the game ball the player with the high probability state by a predetermined region said to pass through (14f) gaming state control means (50) is controlled to A high-probability notification effect control means (62a) that performs a notification effect and does not perform the high-probability notification effect unless the game ball passes through the predetermined area (14f). 62a) determines whether the first suggestion effect is generated by the suggestion effect control means (62c) When performed, the high-probability notification effect is performed at the first effect timing after the game ball passes the predetermined area (14f), and the second suggestion effect is performed by the suggestion effect control means (62c). The high-probability notification effect is performed at a second effect timing after the game ball passes through the predetermined area (14f) and after the first effect timing.

The special figure determination value, which is a random number, is sequentially updated every minute time (4 ms) within the set range (0 to 199). Further, the reach determination value and the fluctuation pattern determination value, which are soft random numbers, are sequentially updated every minute time within the set range.

  The special figure acquisition means 31 is a jackpot determination updated by the special figure counter means 30 when the starting condition is established when the number of the first special figure hold is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first start opening 10. Value, special figure determination value, reach determination value, and variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of first special figure determination information, and when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a, the second special figure hold number Is less than 4, the start condition is established, and the big hit determination value, the special figure determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value updated by the special figure counter means 30 are set as a second special figure determination. Obtain as information.

  In the special figure holding storage means 32 (see FIGS. 7 to 10), the game ball is placed in the first starting port 10 when the special symbols are variably displayed on the special storage indicators 19a and 19b on the first storage means 32a. The first special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31 is temporarily stored when the game ball wins the first start port 10 even when the special symbol is not displayed in a variable manner. The first storage means 32a is provided with four first storage units 1 to 4 that can store a predetermined number (four) of the first special figure determination information at the maximum.

  In addition, in the special figure storage unit 32 (see FIGS. 7 to 10), the game ball is second-started when the special symbol is variably displayed on the special storage indicators 19a and 19b in the second storage unit 32b. If the winning ball is won in the mouth 11a or if the game ball wins in the second starting port 11a even when the special symbol is not variably displayed, the second special symbol determination information acquired by the special symbol acquisition means 31 is temporarily stored. The second storage means 32b is provided with four second storage units 1 to 4 that can store a predetermined number (four) of the second special figure determination information at the maximum.

  The special figure reservation means 33 stores the special figure determination information stored in the special figure reservation storage means 32 one by one every time the special symbol changes in the special figure indicators 19a and 19b start. The big hit determination means 34a and the symbol determination means 34b) are erased (reserved digestion) from the special figure reservation storage means 32 for the determination. At this time, if a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32, the order of the plurality of special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31) Digested in the order in which the first and second special figure determination information is stored, the second special figure determination information is preferentially digested over the first special figure determination information.

  Regarding the suspension of the special figure determination information in the special figure storage unit 32, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the first special figure determination information A1, A2, A3 is acquired in the order of A1 → A2 → A3 Are stored in the first storage units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and are stored in the second storage units 1 and 2 when the second special figure determination information B 1 and B 2 are acquired in the order of B 1 → B 2. As shown in FIG. 8 from the state shown in FIG. 7, when the first special figure determination information A4 is acquired, it is held in the first storage unit 4, and when the second special figure determination information B3 is acquired, the second special figure determination information B3 is stored. Held in the storage unit 3.

  Regarding digestion of the special figure determination information from the special figure holding storage means 32, for example, from the state shown in FIG. 7, the storage of the second storage unit 1, that is, the second special figure determination information B1 is digested, and accordingly, As shown in FIG. 9, the second special figure determination information B2 is shifted from the second storage unit 2 to 1 and held. Further, from the state in which the second special figure determination information B2 is digested, the storage of the first storage unit 1, that is, the first special figure determination information A1 is digested, and accordingly, as shown in FIG. Special figure determination information A2 and A3 are shifted to the first storage unit 2 → 1, 3 → 2 and held.

  In the special figure determination means 34, the special symbol is variably displayed based on the special figure determination information (stored in the special figure holding storage means 32) acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31 when the start condition is established. At this time, based on the special figure determination information related to the change display of the special symbol, that is, the special figure determination information digested by the special figure holding digest means 33, the big hit determination means 34a (determination means 34a) It is determined whether or not an advantageous special game is to be performed, and if it is determined by the jackpot determination means 34a that the special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 34b is configured to open / close the big winning openings 13a and 14a during the special game, that is, It is determined which of a plurality of special games (advantageous special games) having different advantages (number of game balls that can be acquired) is to be performed.

  Specifically, first, the jackpot determination means 34a determines whether or not to play a special game based on the jackpot determination value of the special figure determination information, as a jackpot determination table shown in FIG. Judge using When the low-accuracy / non-short-time state or low-accuracy / short-time state, which will be described later, is set, the big hit judgment value is about 1/400 of the big hit judgment value (3,247 ...) If this is the case, it is determined that a special game will be performed, and when the high accuracy / short time state described later is set, the big hit determination value is about 1/68 using the high accuracy table. If it matches any of 7 ...), it is determined that a special game is performed.

  If it is determined that a special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 34b then selects a plurality of types of jackpot symbols (five types of jackpot symbols shown in FIG. 12) based on the special symbol determination value of the special symbol determination information. Any one of A to E) is selected. Here, when the special figure determination value is the first special figure determination information, the symbol is selected at the selection rate defined by the first symbol selection table shown in FIG. 12, and is the second special figure determination information. Performs symbol selection at a selection rate defined by the second symbol selection table shown in FIG. Then, the open / close pattern of the special winning opening 13a in the special game is determined according to the type of the selected jackpot symbol.

  The special figure display control means 35 confirms that the first special figure determination information has been digested by the special figure holding digest means 33 based on the determination result by the special figure determination means 34 (big hit determination means 34a, symbol determination means 34b). As a trigger, after the first special symbol display 19a is variably displayed, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed, and the special symbol reservation digesting means 33 digests the second special symbol determination information. In response to this, the second special symbol display 19b variably displays the second special symbol, and then the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed.

  If it is determined that the special game is to be played by the big hit determination means 34a, any one of the big hit symbols A to E selected by the symbol determination means 34b is stopped and displayed, and if it is determined that the special game is not to be executed, the game is lost. Stop displaying symbols.

  The variation time determining means 35a is a symbol selected based on the determination result by the jackpot determining means 34a and the symbol determining means 34b (any one of the jackpot symbols A to E or the lost symbol), and the reach determination value of the special symbol determination information. Based on the fluctuation pattern determination value, the number of first and second special figure reservations, and the current gaming state, the special figure display control means 35 determines a fluctuation time for variably displaying the special symbol. That is, the special figure display control unit 35 displays the determination symbol after the variable time and the special symbol determined by the variable time determination unit 35a are variably displayed.

  The prior determination means 34c of the special figure determination means 34 is based on special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 (that is, special figure determination information that is later digested by the special figure hold digest means 33). Specifically, when special figure determination information is acquired by the special figure acquisition means 31, the determination and determination equivalent to the determination and determination by the big hit determination means 34a, the symbol determination means 34b, and the variation time determination means 35a (that is, determination) It is possible to determine in advance whether or not to play a special game, determination of jackpot symbol A to E, determination of lose symbol, determination of variation time).

  The special game executing means 36, when it is determined by the big hit determining means 34a that the special game is to be performed, the determination symbol indicating the determination result by the special figure display control means 35, that is, the determination symbol (big hit) selected by the symbol determining means 34b. After the symbol is stopped and displayed, the special winning opening 13a, 14a is opened and closed in accordance with the opening / closing pattern corresponding to the determination symbol, and a special game including an open game that allows a game ball to be awarded to the special winning opening 13a, 14a. Do. As shown in FIG. 13, the opening / closing patterns of the big winning openings 13a, 14a are set as shown according to the type of the big hit symbol.

  In other words, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, regardless of the type of the jackpot symbol, in the special game, the first and second big prize winning openings 13a and 14a are alternatively opened and closed over 16R (round). In other words, 16 (multiple) open games are played, but in the case of jackpot symbol A, special game A with 4R long-term release + 12R short-term release is performed, and about 500 game balls can be acquired there, and jackpot symbol B , C, special games B, C, which are 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening, are held there, and about 625 game balls can be obtained, and in the case of jackpot symbol D, E, special game D, which is 16R long-term opening E is performed, and about 2000 game balls can be obtained there.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (1), in the special game A (4R long-term opening + 12R short-term opening), each R of 1R to 4R has 30 seconds elapsed after the first big prize opening 13a is opened, or For example, when 10 game balls are won in the first grand prize opening 13a, the first big prize opening 13a is closed and finished, and each R of 6R to 15R starts after opening the first big prize opening 13a, When 0.1 second elapses or when 10 game balls are won in the first grand prize opening 13a, for example, the first big prize opening 13a is closed and finished, and each of R of 5R and 16R passes the second big prize opening 14a. When 0.1 second has elapsed after opening, or when 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, the second big prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 14 (2), in the special games B and C (5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening), the opening / closing pattern of the 5R second big prize winning opening 14a with respect to the special game A in FIG. No, the 5R is closed when the second grand prize opening 14a is opened and 30 seconds elapses or when 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, for example. And exit.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 (3) and 14 (4), in special games D and E (16R long-term opening), each R of 1R to 4R and 6R to 15R starts after opening the first grand prize opening 13a, When 30 seconds elapse or 10 game balls are won in the first grand prize opening 13a, for example, the first big prize opening 13a is closed and finished, and each R of 5R and 16R has the second big prize opening 14a. When 30 seconds have passed after opening and starting, or when 10 game balls are won in the second big prize opening 14a, for example, the second big prize opening 14a is closed and the process ends.

  The special game D in FIG. 14 (3) and the special game E in FIG. 14 (4) differ in the opening / closing pattern of the first big winning opening 13a of the 6R. That is, 6R of the special game D in FIG. 14 (3) is completely opened after the first grand opening 13a is opened and closed several times (for example, 11 times) for 0.1 seconds. In 6R of the special game E in FIG. 14 (4), the first grand prize opening 13a is completely opened from the beginning, similarly to the opening / closing pattern of the other first R big prize opening 13a.

  In addition, the special game executing means 36 operates the sorting device 14h to open and close the specific area 14f in accordance with opening and closing of the second big prize winning opening 14a in 5R and 16R. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15 (1), when the 5R / 16R second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time, the specific area 14f is opened one second after the second big prize opening 14a is opened. Then, the specific area 14f is closed one second after the opening, and as shown in FIG. 15 (2), when the second big winning opening 14a of the 5R / 16 / 16R is opened for a long time, the second big winning opening 14a One second after the opening, the specific area 14f is opened, and the specific area 14f is closed together with the closing of the second big prize opening 14a.

  In the special game A, the 5R and 16R second grand prize winning openings 14a are open for a short time, and since the specific area 14f is opened after the second big prize winning opening 14a is closed, the game ball is the second largest. It is very unlikely that the winning opening 14a will win and pass through the specific area 14f. On the other hand, in special games B and C, the 5R second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, and in special games D and E, the 5R and 16R second big prize winning openings 14a are opened for a long time. When the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time, the specific area 14f is opened while the second big prize opening 14a is opened, so that the game ball wins the second big prize opening 14a and the specific area 14f. The possibility of passing through is extremely high.

  Here, in the special game B, C, D, E, in the fifth (5R) (predetermined number) open game, the first open game (second big prize opening 14a) in which the game ball easily passes through the specific area 14f. The second special game A is a second special game in which the special game A is difficult to pass through the specific area 14f in the fifth (5R) (predetermined number) open game. This is a second special game in which the grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a short period of time. That is, the special game execution means 36 can perform any one of the first special game and the second special game.

  In all the special games shown in FIGS. 14 (1) to 14 (4), the R interval time from the end of each R to the start of the next R (the big winning openings 13a and 14b are closed) is about 2 seconds. Is set. This R interval time (about 2 seconds) is set so that the game balls that have won (especially at the end of R) at the big winning openings 13a, 14b open at each R will not win the next R. The time is determined so that it can be reliably detected by the special winning openings SW13c, 14c before the start (when the next special winning openings 13a, 14b are opened).

  The probability setting means 37 uses a low probability (about 1/400) or a high probability table shown in FIG. 10 to determine the big hit probability determined to perform the special game by the big hit determination means 34a using the low probability table shown in FIG. Use to set high probability (about 1/68).

  The universal counter means 40 sequentially updates the hit judgment value, which is an 8-bit soft random number, every minute time (4 ms) within a set range (0 to 199), and is also called an 8-bit soft random number. The common figure judgment value is sequentially updated every minute time (4 ms) within the set range (0 to 9).

  When the game ball passes through the gate 12, the universal chart acquisition unit 41 establishes the universal chart start condition when the number of pending charts is less than 4, and the hit determination value updated by the universal chart counter unit 40 is Acquired as general-purpose determination information. The general map determination information acquired by the general map acquisition unit 41 is temporarily stored (held) in the general map hold storage unit 42.

The universal figure reservation means 43 uses the universal figure determination information stored in the universal figure storage means 42 for the determination by the universal figure determination means 44 one by one every time the normal symbol display 19c starts to change. Then, it is deleted (holding digestion) from the usual figure holding storage means 42. At that time, when a plurality of Prussian view determination information Hiroshizu hold storage means 42 is stored, the plurality of Prussian diagram determination information Hiroshi view pending storage means 42 in the stored order (i.e., Hiroshizu acquisition means 41 Digest in the order obtained).

  Based on the general map determination information acquired by the general map acquisition unit 41 (stored in the general map hold storage unit 42) when the general map start condition is satisfied, the general map determination unit 44 changes the normal symbol in detail. At the time of display, it is determined whether or not an auxiliary game is to be performed based on the general pattern determination information related to the fluctuation display of the normal symbol, that is, the general pattern determination information digested by the general chart hold digest means 43.

  Based on the determination result by the general map determination unit 44, the general map display control unit 45 changes the normal symbol on the general map display 19c when the general map determination information is digested by the general map hold digest unit 43. After the display, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed. When it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be performed by the general symbol determination means 44, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and when it is determined that the auxiliary game is not to be performed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the auxiliary game execution means 46 performs the auxiliary game, the general game display control means 45 stops and displays the determination symbol (winning symbol) indicating the determination result. 2 An auxiliary game for opening and closing the start port 11a is performed. As shown in FIG. 16, the opening / closing pattern of the second starting port 11a during the auxiliary game is set according to the second starting port operating mode.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the operation mode setting means 47 sets, as the second start port operation mode, a low operation mode in which the second start port 11a is hardly operated in the open state or a high operation mode in which the second start port 11a is easily operated in the open state. . Specifically, in the low operation mode, the hit probability determined to perform the auxiliary game by the normal figure determination means 44 is 1/10, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol on the normal figure display 19c is 12 seconds, The opening / closing pattern of the second starting port 11a is set to 0.1 second x 1 time. In the high operation mode, the hit probability is 10/10, the normal symbol fluctuation time is 0.5 second, and the opening / closing pattern of the second starting port 11a is 2.0 seconds. × 3 is set.

  The gaming state control means 50 is one of a plurality of gaming states (low probability (low probability) / non-short time state, low probability (low probability) / short time state, high probability (high probability) / short time state shown in FIG. 17). One is set alternatively, and the game is controlled in the game state. It should be noted that when the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the time of the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, a low-probability / non-time-short state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 17, when the low probability / non-short-time state and the low-precision / short-time state are set, the probability setting means 37 sets the low probability, and when the high-precision / short time state is set, the probability setting A high probability is set by means 37. Further, when the low accuracy / non-time-short state is set, the low operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 47, and when the low accuracy / time-short state and the high accuracy / time-short state are set, the operation mode setting means 47 High operating mode is set.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the special game is executed by the special game execution means 36, the game state control means 50 sets a low-probability / non-short-time state during the special game. When the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, that is, when a V prize is given, a high-precision / short-time state is set after the special game is finished, and then the special symbol change count of the special symbols on the special symbol indicators 19a and 19b. When the value reaches 110 times, the high accuracy / time reduction state is changed to the low accuracy / non-time reduction state. Also, if the game ball does not pass the specific area 14f during the special game, that is, if there is no V-winning, the low probability / short time state is set after the special game is finished, and then the special figure change count reaches 100 times. Then, the low accuracy / short time state is changed to the low accuracy / non-time short state.

  The variation time determination means 35a of the special figure display control means 35 determines the variation time of the first special symbol based on the table shown in FIG. In the low-probability / non-short-time state, using the table in FIG. 19 (1), it is determined that no special game will be played, and the 1st special figure will be suspended at the time of non-winning (1) when the big hit expectation is relatively low Depending on the number, 9 seconds, 7 seconds, 5 seconds, 3 seconds are determined, and it is determined that no special game is to be performed and the expectation level is relatively high (2) or special game is performed When the winning is determined, any one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of the first special figure hold. In the low-accuracy / short-time state or high-precision / short-time state, using the table in Fig. 19 (2), at the time of non-winning (1), 12 seconds will be determined regardless of the number of the 1st special figure hold, At time (2) or at the time of winning, one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of the first special figure hold, as in FIG.

  The variation time determination means 35a of the special figure display control means 35 determines the variation time of the second special symbol based on the table shown in FIG. In the low-probability / non-short-time state, using the table in Fig. 20 (1), at the time of non-winning (1), 3 seconds is determined regardless of the number of second special figure hold, and at the time of non-winning (2) or At the time of winning, any of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,. In the low accuracy and short time state, using the table in Fig. 20 (2), when not winning (1), determine either 12 seconds or 2.5 seconds according to the number of second special figure hold, At the time (2) or at the time of winning, one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 50 seconds is determined regardless of the number of the second special figure hold as in the table of FIG. In the high accuracy / short time state, using the table in Fig. 20 (3), at the time of non-winning (1), determine either 15 seconds or 2 seconds according to the number of second special figure hold, and not win At time (2) or at the time of winning, either 5 seconds, 13 seconds,.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the respective means 60 to 63 shown in the figure are mainly composed of a computer including an effect control board 23, an image control board 24, and a lamp control board 25. The game effect control means 60 causes a predetermined effect means 69 to perform a game effect, and the effect means 69 is composed of an image display 17, a movable accessory 18, a speaker 27, and lamps 28a and 28b.

  The symbol variation effect control means 61 is based on the determination result by the special symbol determination unit 34, and the special symbol display control unit 35 displays the special symbol when the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display devices 19a and 19b. A symbol variation effect corresponding to the variation time (the special symbol variation time determined by the variation time determination means 35a) is represented by a plurality of symbol variation effects (symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3... N shown in FIG. 21 (1)). ) To choose from.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (1), each of the plurality of symbol variation effects is classified into one of low-precision / non-time-short game effects, low-precision / time-short game effects, and high-precision / time-short game effects, The symbol variation effect control means 61 performs a low-accuracy / non-time-short game effect in the low-probability / non-time-short state, and causes a low-probability / time-short game effect in the low-probability / time-short state. In the high accuracy / short time state, the high precision / short time game effect is performed.

  Based on the determination result by the special figure determination means 34, the special game effect control means 62 generates a special game effect that excites the special game when the special game execution means 36 is playing a plurality of special games. The ending effects that follow the special game effects at the end of the special game are selected from the effects (special game effects 1, 2, 3,... N shown in FIG. 21 (2)). (Ending effects 1, 2, 3,... N shown in FIG. 21 (3) are selected and performed.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (2), each of the plurality of special game effects is classified into one of the jackpot symbol A, B game effect, the jackpot symbol C, D game effect, the jackpot symbol E game effect, The special game effect control means 62 receives the big hit symbol A or the big hit symbol B determined by the symbol determination means 34b by winning a game ball at the first starting port 10 (that is, based on the first special symbol determination information). When the special game execution means 36 is stopped and the special game A shown in FIG. 14 (1) or the special game B shown in FIG. 14 (2) is being played, the big hit symbol A and B game effects are performed.

  The special game effect control means 62 receives the big hit symbol C or the big hit symbol D determined by the symbol determination means 34b by winning a game ball in the second starting port 11a (that is, based on the second special symbol determination information). When the special game execution means 36 is stopped and the special game C shown in FIG. 14 (2) or the special game D shown in FIG. 14 (3) is being played, the jackpot symbol C, D game effect is performed. When the big hit symbol E determined by the symbol determining means 34b is stopped and displayed and the special game executing means 36 is performing the special game E shown in FIG.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 22 (FIGS. 23 and 24), in the jackpot symbol A, B game effect, first, (1) the opening effect is displayed on the image display 17, and then the start of the 1R A round effect is displayed. As this round effect, in the case of special game A, (2) to (5) 1R to 4R that perform long-term opening, and in the case of special game B, (2) to (4) (8) (9 ) / (2)-(4) (12) (13) R1 being executed (for example, “1R” in (2)) is displayed over 1R-5R, which will be opened for a long time, and a friendly character A battle effect in which the enemy character battles is displayed.

  In the case of special game A, (5) the ally actor is defeated by the enemy actor in the 4th R and the defeat is displayed. Next, the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a short time at 5R, and the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is very low. Therefore, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f, and the short period of 5R to 16R. Opening takes place. In the round digestion effect displayed during the short-term opening of 5R to 16R, (6) a low-accuracy suggestion effect suggesting a low-prediction / short-time state is displayed, and then (7) an ending effect is displayed. It is confirmed that the correct / short time state is reached.

  On the other hand, in the case of special game B, (8) the ally actor defeats the enemy actor in 4R and a victory is displayed, and an instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f (for example, “Aim for V at next R”) Is displayed. Next, the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long time at 5R, and the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is very high. (9) At 5R, the game ball passes through the specific area 14f. “V” is displayed (the movable accessory 18 may be further activated). Thereafter, short-term opening of 6R to 16R is performed, and in the effect during round digestion displayed during this short-term opening of 6R to 16R, (10) a high-impact suggesting effect suggesting a high-precision / short-time state is displayed, (11) The ending effect is displayed, and it is confirmed that the high accuracy / short time state is reached.

Or, in the case of special game B, (12) the ally actor is defeated by the enemy actor in 4R and the defeat is displayed, and the instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f is not displayed, but the second 5R The big winning opening 14a is opened for a long time, and the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f becomes very high. Here, (13) defeat is continuously displayed on the 5th R, and “V” is not displayed even if the game ball passes the specific area 14f. Thereafter, short-term opening of 6R-16R is performed, and in the effect during round digestion displayed during the short-term opening of 6R-16R, first, (14) a low-probability suggesting effect suggesting a low-probability / short-time state is displayed. However, after that, (1 5 ) “V” is displayed (the movable accessory 18 may be further activated), and then (11) an ending effect is displayed, resulting in a highly accurate and time-saving state. Confirmed display.

  When the special game B is performed by the special game execution means 36, the special game effect control means 62 uses a predetermined effect determination table (not shown) in the jackpot symbol A, B game effect (8 in FIG. 22). ) (9) (10) (11) and the effects (12) (13) (14) (15) (11) in FIG. 22 are determined by lottery.

  22 (9) and (15), the effect of displaying “V” corresponds to the high-probability notification effect, and the high-probability notification effect control means 62a of the special game effect control means 62 determines that the game ball is in the specific area 14f (predetermined area). 14f), a high-probability notification effect (FIGS. 22 (9) and (15)) for notifying that the game is controlled in a highly accurate / short-time state (high probability game state) is performed by the game state control means 50.

  22 (6) (14) is an effect that displays a low-probability suggestion effect, which corresponds to a normal effect, and the normal effect control means 62b of the special game effect control means 62 has a high probability that the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f. A normal effect (FIG. 22 (6)) different from the notification effect is performed.

  Determining and performing the effects (8), (9), (10), and (11) in FIG. 22 corresponds to the establishment of a predetermined effect condition, and the high-probability notification effect control means 62a When the production condition is satisfied, the high probability notification effect (FIG. 22 (9)) is performed at the first production timing when the game ball passes (first) the specific area 14f, and the predetermined production condition Is not established, that is, if the effect (12) (13) (14) (15) (11) in FIG. 22 is determined and performed, the normal effect (FIG. 22 (14)) is performed. The high probability notification effect (FIG. 22 (15)) is performed at the second effect timing after the first effect timing.

  The effect of displaying the victory in FIG. 22 (8) and the instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f corresponds to the first suggestion effect, and the effect of displaying the defeat in FIGS. 22 (5) and (12) is the second suggestion effect. When the suggestion effect control means 62c of the special game effect control means 62 performs the first special game (special game B) by the special game execution means 36, the first open game (5R) in the first special game is executed. The first suggestion effect (FIG. 22 (8)) suggesting that the first opening game is performed and the first opening game are performed before the second large winning opening 14a of the eye is opened for a long time). Any suggestive effect of the second suggestive effect (FIG. 22 (12)) that does not suggest this can be performed.

  When the first suggestion effect (FIG. 22 (8)) is performed by the suggestion effect control means 62c, the high-probability notification effect control means 62a assumes that the game ball has passed through the specific area 14f and the first effect timing. When a high-probability notification effect (FIG. 22 (9)) is performed and the second suggestion effect (FIG. 22 (12)) is performed by the suggestion effect control means 62c, it is assumed that the game ball has passed the specific area 14f. The high probability notification effect (FIG. 22 (15)) is performed at the second effect timing.

  When the second special game (special game A) is performed by the special game execution unit 36, the suggestion effect control unit 62c performs the second opening game in the second special game (short-term opening of the 5R second big prize opening 14a). ) Is performed, the second suggestion effect (FIG. 22 (5)) can be performed, and the normal effect control means 62b uses the suggestion effect control means 62c to generate the second suggestion effect (FIG. 22 (5)). ) Is performed, the normal performance (FIG. 22 (6)) is performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 25, in the jackpot symbol C, D game effect, (1) the opening effect is displayed on the image display 17, then (2) (3) 1R that performs long-term opening In each R of ˜5R, the R being executed is displayed and a round effect is displayed. (2) In the 4R, an instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f (for example, “V at the next R is V Aim ") is displayed. Next, the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long time at 5R, and it is very likely that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f. (3) At 5R, the game ball passes through the specific area 14f. “V” is displayed (the movable accessory 18 may be further activated).

  After that, in the case of special game C, (4) the round special effect is displayed when the short-term opening of 6R to 16R is performed, and then (8) the ending effect is displayed, and the high accuracy / short time state is displayed. Confirmed to be displayed. On the other hand, in the case of special game D, (5) (6) ... (7) Long-term opening after (4) Round special effects are displayed when short-term opening is performed several times in 6R 6R to 16R are performed, while the running R is displayed, the second half round effect is displayed, and then (8) the ending effect is displayed, and it is confirmed that the high accuracy / short time state is reached. Is done.

  In the round special effect in FIG. 25 (4), an effect suggesting whether or not the advantageous state continues is performed. Here, when the special game C is being performed, there is an effect indicating that the advantageous state does not continue. When it is finally displayed and the special game D is being played, an effect indicating that the advantageous state continues is finally displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 26 , in the jackpot symbol E game effect, (1) the opening effect is displayed on the image display 17, and then (2) (3) ... (4) long-term opening. The running R is displayed over 1R to 16R to be performed, and a round effect is displayed. Here, although not shown in the drawing, as in the case described above, an instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f in the 4R (for example, for example) , “Aim for V at the next R”) is displayed, and it is highly likely that the second big prize opening 14a will be open for a long time at 5R and the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f. Passes through the specific area 14f and “V” is displayed (here, the movable accessory 18 may be further activated). Thereafter, (5) the ending effect is displayed, and the confirmation of the high accuracy / short time state is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 27, in the prefetch information storage means 63, the first special figure prefetch that becomes the judgment result by the prefetch judgment means 34c when the game ball wins the first starting port 10 in the first storage means 63a. Information is stored, and the first storage unit 63a is provided with four first storage units 1 to 4 that can store a predetermined number (four) of first special figure prefetch information at maximum. In addition, when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a, the second storage means 63b stores the second special figure prefetch information that is the determination result by the prefetch determination means 34c, and the second storage means 63b stores the second special figure prefetch information. In addition, four second storage units 1 to 4 are provided so that a predetermined number (four) of first special figure prefetch information can be stored at the maximum.

  In synchronization with the storage and digestion of the special figure determination information in the special figure hold storage means 32 (see, for example, FIGS. 7 to 10), the prefetch information storage means 63 corresponds to the special figure determination information. Special figure prefetch information is stored and digested. FIG. 27 shows the special figure prefetch information stored in the prefetch information storage means 63 when the special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 shown in FIG. Then, the symbol variation effect control means 61 and the special game effect control means 62 can perform various prefetch effects (not shown) based on the prefetch information stored in the prefetch information storage means 63.

  In order to achieve the functions of the respective means 30 to 37, 40 to 47, 50, and 60 to 63 shown in FIG. 6, main processes executed by the control device 20 (game control board 21 and effect control board 23). Is described based on a flowchart.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the timer interrupt processing executed by the computer of the game control board 21 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt processing, random number update processing (S1), switch processing (S2 ), Symbol processing (S3), electric accessory processing (S4), prize ball processing (S5), and output processing (S6) are sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 29, in the start port SW process executed in the switch process of S2, when the first start port SW10a is on (S11; Yes), when the first special figure reservation number U1 is less than 4 ( S12; Yes), the first special figure holding number U1 is added to U1 + 1 (S13), and the big hit determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value (first special figure determination information) are acquired and stored. Next, a pre-determination process (S15) is executed, and a first special figure reservation number increase command is set (S16).

  When the second start port SW11c is on (S17; Yes), when the second special figure reservation number U2 is less than 4 (S18; Yes), the second special figure reservation number U2 is added to U2 + 1 (S19). The big hit determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value (second special figure determination information) are acquired and stored (S20), and then the preliminary determination process (S21) is executed, The figure holding number increase command is set (S22).

  In the pre-determination processing in S15 and S21, basically, processing equivalent to S38 and S39 in the special symbol processing described next with reference to FIG. 30 is performed. However, this pre-determination process is performed for special figure determination information acquired when no special game is being performed based on the gaming state at the time of acquisition of the special figure determination information. The special figure determination information acquired when the special game is played is performed based on the game state before the start of the special game (or assumed after the end of the special game). In S16 and S22, a special figure pending number increase command including pre-read information relating to the determination result of the pre-determination process in S15 and S21 is set. The commands set in S16 and S22 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the effect control board 23 by the output process of S6.

  As shown in FIG. 30, in the special symbol process executed in the symbol process of S3, it is determined whether or not the special game flag is ON (S31). If the determination of S31 is No, that is, the special game is not being executed. Then, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (S32). If the determination in S32 is Yes, the process proceeds to S42.

  If the determination in S32 is No, it is determined whether or not the second special figure hold number U2 is 1 or more (S33). If the determination in S33 is Yes, the second special figure hold number U2 is subtracted from U2-1. (S34). If the determination in S33 is No, it is determined whether or not the first special figure hold number U1 is 1 or more (S35). If the determination in S35 is Yes, the first special figure hold number U1 is subtracted from U1-1. (S36). If the determination in S35 is No, a customer waiting setting process (S46) is executed. After the execution of S34 or S36, the customer waiting flag is turned off (S37), the big hit determination process (S38) is executed, and then the variation pattern selection process (S39) is executed.

  In the jackpot determination process of S38, first, the jackpot determination value of the special figure determination information having the highest digestion priority among the special figure determination information stored in the special figure storage unit 32 is described with reference to FIG. In addition, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit specific value, and if it is a big hit specific value, based on the symbol determination value of the special figure determination information, as described with reference to FIG. When it is selected and set and the big hit determination value is not the big hit specific value, a lost symbol is set. The special figure determination information provided for the big hit determination process is deleted from the special figure holding storage means 32.

  In the variation pattern selection process of S39, the symbol set in the jackpot determination process of S38 and the jackpot determination value used for the determination of whether or not the jackpot is determined and the reach determination value, the variation pattern determination value, the first and first As described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20, one of a plurality of variation times is selected and determined as the variation pattern based on the number of 2 special figure holds and the current gaming state. Thereafter, the first or second special symbol is started to change (S40), and a special figure change start command including information on the determination pattern set in S38 and the change pattern (change time) determined in S39 is set ( S41).

  Next, when the variation time determined in S39 has elapsed (S42; Yes), the first or second special symbol is suspended (S43), where the symbol set in S38 is the first or second symbol. It is displayed on the special figure indicator 19a or 19b. Subsequently, a special figure fluctuation stop command including the information of the determination symbol set in S38 is set (S44), and the stop process (S45) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 31, in the stop process of S45, when the low accuracy / short time state flag is ON, that is, when the low accuracy / short time state is set (S51; Yes), the low accuracy / short time state continuation count J is When J is subtracted from J-1 (S52) and the continuation count J becomes 0 (S53; Yes), the low-accuracy / short-time state flag is turned OFF (S54). If the high-accuracy / time-short state flag is ON, that is, if the high-accuracy / time-short state is set (S55; Yes), the high-accuracy / time-short state continuation count X is subtracted from X-1 (S56), When the number of times X becomes 0 (S57; Yes), the high accuracy / short time state flag is turned OFF (S58).

  Next, in the case of a big win (S59; Yes), that is, when the big win symbol is stopped and displayed on the special figure indicator 19a or 19b, the special game flag is turned ON (S60), and the low probability / short time state / The high-precision / time-short state continuation count J / X is reset to 0 (S61), and the low-precision / time-short state flag / high-precision / time-short state flag is turned OFF (S62). Thereafter, opening is started (S63), and an opening command including information on the jackpot symbol that is stopped and displayed is set (S64). When both the low accuracy / short time state flag and the high accuracy / short time state flag are OFF, the low accuracy / non-short time state is set.

  As shown in FIG. 32, in the special prize opening process executed in the electric accessory process of S4, it is determined whether or not the special game flag is ON (S71). If the determination of S71 is Yes, the special game is being opened. It is determined whether or not (S72). If the determination in S72 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the opening time has passed (S73), and if the determination in S73 is Yes, a special winning opening opening / closing pattern setting process (S74) is executed.

  In the big winning opening / closing pattern setting process of S74, the big winning opening / closing pattern corresponding to the type of the big winning symbol is set. Therefore, the maximum Rc and the R maximum operating time Tc are set according to the set big winning opening / closing pattern. Value (4R long-term opening + 12R short-term opening, maximum Rc = 16, R maximum operating time Tc of 1R to 4R Tc = 30 seconds, 5R to 16R R maximum operating time Tc = 0.1 seconds, 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening In the case of R, the maximum Rc = 16, 1R to 5R R maximum operation time Tc = 30 seconds, 6R to 16R R maximum operation time Tc = 0.1 seconds, 16R long-term open, maximum Rc = 16, 1R to 16R R maximum operating time Tc = 30 seconds) is set.

  On the other hand, if the determination in S72 is No, it is determined whether or not the special game is ending (S75). If the determination in S75 is No, it is determined whether any of the big winning mouths 13a and 14a is operating. (S76). If the determination in S75 is Yes, the process proceeds to S91. If the determination in S76 is No, the process proceeds to S77. If the determination in S76 is Yes, the process proceeds to S82.

  In S77, R is added to R + 1, and then an R start command is set (S78), and the operation of one of the special winning openings 13a, 14a is started (S79). In S79, when R = 1 to 4, 6 to 15, the first big prize opening 13a is opened, and when R = 5 and 16, the second big prize opening 14a is opened. Next, timing of the R operation time T is started (S80), and the measurement of the number N of game balls won in the special winning openings 13a and 14a is started (S81).

  When R = 5, 16, as described with reference to FIG. 15, the sorting device 14h operates to open and close the specific region 14f. Then, at R = 5, 16, when the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a short time, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f becomes very low, and the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time. In this case, the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is very high.

  As shown in FIG. 33, in the V winning process of S82, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S101; No), when R = 5 or 16 (S102; Yes), the specific area SW14g is turned on ( S103; Yes), 1 is set to the V winning flag VF (S104), and the V winning command is set (S105).

  As shown in FIG. 32, after execution of the V winning process in S82, in S83, it is determined whether or not T ≧ R maximum operation time Tc. If the determination in S83 is No, N ≧ specified number Nc (Nc = 10). Is determined (S84). If the determination in S83 is Yes or the determination in S84 is Yes, the operation of any of the winning prize openings 13a, 14a is terminated, that is, any of the winning prize openings 13a, 14a is closed (S85). It is reset to 0 (S86), and it is determined whether or not R = maximum Rc (Rc = 16) (S87).

  If the determination in S87 is Yes, ending is started (S88), an ending command is set (S89), and R is reset to 0 (S90). In S91, it is determined whether or not the ending time has elapsed. If the determination in S91 is Yes, a game state setting process (S92) is executed, and then the special game flag is turned OFF (S93).

  As shown in FIG. 34, in the game state setting process of S92, when the V winning flag VF = 1 (S111; Yes), the high accuracy / short time state flag is turned ON (S112), and the high accuracy / short time state continues. The number X is set to 110 (S113), and the V winning flag VF is reset to 0 (S114). On the other hand, when the V winning flag VF = 0 (S111; No), the low-accuracy / short time state flag is turned ON (S115), and 100 is set in the low-precision / short time state continuation number J (S116). After execution of S114 or S116, a gaming state command corresponding to the flag set in S112 or S115 is set (S117).

  As shown in FIG. 35, the timer interrupt process executed by the computer of the effect control board 23 is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, command reception process (S201), effect button process ( S202), command transmission processing (S203) is sequentially executed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 36, in the effect button processing in S202, it is determined whether or not the effect button SW6 is ON (S205). If the determination in S205 is Yes, an effect button command is set (S206). The commands set in S206 and the commands set in other steps are transmitted to the image control board 24 and the lamp control board 25 by the command transmission process of S203.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37, in the command reception process of S201, it is determined whether or not a pending number increase command is received (S211). If the determination of S211 is Yes, as described with reference to FIG. A prefetch information hold process (S212) for holding (storing) the prefetch information included in the hold number increase command in the prefetch information storage means 63 is executed, and subsequently, a hold number addition process (S213) is executed to increase the hold number. A command is set (S214).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a special figure change start command is received (S215). If the determination in S215 is Yes, the corresponding prefetch information is digested from the prefetch information storage means 63 as described with reference to FIG. The pre-reading information digest process (S216) to be erased) is executed, and subsequently, the symbol variation effect selection process (S217) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 38, in the symbol variation effect selection process of S217, the received special diagram variation start command is analyzed (S231), and then the set effect mode (the low-accuracy / non-short-time effect shown in FIG. 39). Mode, low-accuracy / short time effect mode, or high-accuracy / short time effect mode) is referred to (S232), and the hold number subtraction process is executed (S233).

  Next, a symbol variation effect is selected (S234). Here, based on the information analyzed in S231 and the effect mode referenced in S232, as described with reference to FIG.・ In the non-short-time production mode, the low-precision / non-time-saving game production is selected. In the low-precision and short-time production mode, the low-precision / short-time game production is selected. A game effect is selected, and thereafter, a symbol variation effect start command including information on the selected symbol variation effect is set (S235).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37, when a special figure variation stop command is received (S218; Yes), a symbol variation effect end process (S219) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 40, in the symbol variation effect end process of S219, the received special figure variation stop command is analyzed (S241), it is determined whether or not it is a big hit (S242), and if the determination of S242 is No, the setting is made. The effect mode being performed is referred to (S243). Next, it is determined whether or not the low accuracy / short time effect mode is selected (S244). If the determination in S244 is Yes, the low accuracy / short time effect mode continuation number MJ is decremented by 1 (S245), and it is determined whether MJ = 0. (S246).

  On the other hand, if the determination in S244 is No, it is determined whether or not the high-precision / time-short effect mode is selected (S247). If the determination in S247 is Yes, the high-precision / time-short effect mode continuation number MX is decremented by 1 (S2048). It is determined whether MX = 0 (S249). When the determination in S246 or S249 is Yes, the low-accuracy / non-short-time effect mode is set (S250). Finally, a symbol variation effect end command is set (S251).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37, when an opening command is received at the start of opening in the special winning opening process (see FIG. 32) (S220; Yes), a special game effect selection process (S221) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 41, in the special game effect selection process of S221, the opening command is analyzed (S261), and a special game effect is selected based on the analyzed jackpot symbol information (S262). One of the jackpot symbol A and B game effects shown, the jackpot symbol C and D game effects shown in FIG. 25, and the jackpot symbol E game effects shown in FIG. 26 is selected.

  However, in the game effects for symbols A and B, when the special game A is performed with the jackpot symbol A, the effect that enables the game of FIG. 22 (1) to (7) is selected and the bonus game B becomes the special game. When B is performed, the effects shown in FIGS. 22 (1) to (4) (8) to (11) and FIGS. 22 (1) to (4) (12) to (15) (11) are used. Any of the effects is selected by lottery. Then, a special game effect start command including information on the selected special game effect is set (S263).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37, after the determination in S220 is No, or after execution of S221, the special game effect in-process (S222) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 42, in the special game effect in-process of S222, it is determined whether or not an R start command is received (S271). If the determination in S271 is Yes, the R start effect command is set (S272). If the determination in S271 is No, it is determined whether or not a V winning command is received (S273). If the determination in S273 is Yes, a V winning effect command is set (S274).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37, when an ending command is received at the start of the ending in the big prize opening process (see FIG. 32) (S223; Yes), an ending effect selection process (S224) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 43, in the ending effect selection process of S224, the ending command is analyzed (S281), and the ending effect selection (S282) is performed. Therefore, one of the ending effects shown in FIG. 21 (3) is selected. Is selected, and an ending effect start command including information on the ending effect is set (S283).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 37, when a gaming state command is received at the end of the ending in the big prize opening process (see FIG. 32) (S225; Yes), the effect mode setting process (S226) is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 44, in the effect mode setting process of S226, the game state command is analyzed (S291), and based on the analysis information, it is determined whether or not the low probability / short time state is set (S292). If the determination is Yes, the low-accuracy / short time effect mode is set (S293), and 100 is set in the low-precision / short time effect mode continuation count MJ (S294).

  If the determination in S292 is No, as shown in FIG. 45, it is determined whether or not the high accuracy / short time state is set (S301). If the determination in S301 is Yes, the big hit symbol corresponding to the special game is the big hit symbol A Is determined (S302). When the determination in S302 is No, the high-precision / time-shortage production mode is set (S303), and 110 is set in the high-precision / time-shortage production mode continuation number MX (S304). On the other hand, if the determination in S302 is No, the low-accuracy / short time effect mode is set (S305), and 110 is set in the low-precision / short time effect mode continuation number MJ (S306).

  The computer of the image control board 24 and the lamp control board 25 controls the image display 17, the speaker 27, the frame lamp 28 a, the panel lamp 28 b, and the movable accessory 18 based on a command (command) received from the effect control board 23. Then, various game effects are performed mainly on display on the image display 17.

  That is, as described above, when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, the low-accuracy / non-time-saving game effect, the low-precision / short-time game effect, the high-precision / short-time game effect, the special game, Any of the effects is appropriately performed in accordance with the variation time of the special symbol and in accordance with the expectation degree of jackpot, and when the special game is being performed, the special games A and B in FIG. 22 are used as special game effects. 25, the special game C, D game effect in FIG. 25, and the special game E game effect in FIG. 26 are appropriately performed according to the type of the special game and in accordance with the progress of the special game. .

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 22, when the special game A and B game effects are performed, when the special game A is being performed, the defeat is displayed on the 4R and the low probability during the short-term opening of 5R to 16R. The suggestion effect is displayed. When the special game B is being performed, in accordance with a command from the computer of the production control board 23, the victory is displayed on the 4R and the instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f is displayed, and the V winning command is displayed on the 5R. At the time of reception, “V” is displayed at the first performance timing, and a highly accurate suggestion effect is displayed during the short-term opening of 6R to 16R.

  Or, when the special game B is being performed, the defeat is displayed on the 4R according to the command from the computer of the effect control board 23 so that the instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f is not displayed. Even if the defeat is displayed and the V winning command is received, “V” is not displayed. Thereafter, the low-impact suggestion effect is temporarily displayed during the short-term opening of 6R to 16R, and then “V” is displayed at the first effect timing.

The operation and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above will be described.
When the low-probability / non-short-time state is set, the player operates the firing handle 7 to play the game by so-called left-handed firing that causes the game ball to fall on the left side of the center accessory 16. The first starting port 10 can be aimed by left-handed, and when the first special figure holding number is less than 4, when the game ball wins the first starting port 10, the first special figure determination information is acquired. It is stored in the special figure storage unit 32.

  When the low accuracy / short time state or high accuracy / short time state is set, the player operates the firing handle 7 to fire the game ball so that the game ball falls on the right side of the center object 16. A game can be performed by hitting and the second start port 11a can be aimed by making a right hit. When the number of reserved second figure is less than 4, and the game ball wins the second start port 11a, Determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure storage unit 32.

  In addition, the player can aim the gate 12 by right-handed, and when the number of reserved drawings is less than 4, when the game ball passes through the gate 12, the determination information of the usual diagram is acquired and stored in the stored general diagram storage means 42. Remembered. Here, first, the general symbol determination information stored in the general symbol hold storage means 42 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the variation of the normal symbol starts, and the winning lottery is performed by the digestion of the normal symbol determination information. In the case of winning, an auxiliary game is generated in which the second start opening 11a is opened after the symbol is hit by the normal display 19c and stops changing.

  When the low accuracy / short time state or the high accuracy / short time state is set, the high operation mode is set as the auxiliary game operation mode, and a relatively large number of game balls are made to the second start port 11a by making a right turn. Therefore, it is possible to play a game while maintaining the number of owned game balls by right-handed. However, if the low probability / non-short-time state is set, even if the player hits the right hand, almost no winning of the game ball to the first starting port 10 can be expected, and the low operation mode is set as the auxiliary game operation mode. Therefore, since it is almost impossible to expect game balls to win the second starting port 11a, the game is played while reducing the number of owned game balls by left-handed.

  Next, the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 32 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the change of the special symbol starts. At that time, a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 32. Are stored in the order in which they are acquired. However, if both the first and second special figure determination information are stored, the second special figure determination information is stored. The figure determination information is preferentially digested over the first special figure determination information. If the bonus game lottery is performed by digesting the special figure determination information, and if the winner is won by the bonus game lottery, the bonus game symbols 13a and 14a are opened after the bonus game symbol is stopped fluctuating in the special signal indicators 19a and 19bc A big hit game is generated.

  When the big hit game occurs, the player can aim at the first and second big prize winning openings 13a, 14a by right-handed. Depending on the type of jackpot symbol that has been suspended, either 4R long-term opening + 12R short-term opening special game A, 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening special game B or C, or 16R long-term opening special game D or E The special game A can acquire about 500 game balls, the special games B and C can acquire about 625 game balls, and the special games D and E can acquire about 2000 game balls.

  In addition, the special area 14f is opened and closed with the opening of the 5R and 16R second prize winning openings 14a of the special game, but by making a right turn, the second prize winning opening at the 5R and 16R eyes. When 14a is opened for a short time (in the case of special game A), it is very unlikely that a game ball will pass through the specific area 14f. However, when the second grand prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at the 5th round (special game) In the case of B, C, D, E), in the 16th round, when the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time (in the case of special games D, E), the possibility that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f is extremely high. high.

  In the low-probability / non-time-short state, when winning a big hit lottery based on the winning of a game ball to the first starting port 10, it will be distributed to special game A-special game B at a rate of 38% -62% Basically, when the special game A is executed, the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14f. Therefore, after the big hit game is finished, the low probability / non-short-time state is set, and the special game B is When executed, the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, so that a high-accuracy / short-time state is set after the big hit game ends.

  If you win in the big hit lottery based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 11a in the low-probability / short-time state or the high-probability / short-time state, the special game C- Special game D- The game is distributed to one of the special games E and executed, but basically any of the special games C, D, E is executed, so that the game ball passes through the specific area 14f. After the game is over, high accuracy and short time are set.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol is variably displayed on the basis of the determination result of whether or not the game effect is “big hit”, the symbol fluctuation effect suggesting the big hit expectation degree determined as “big hit” When a game is being performed, special game effects that excite the special game are mainly displayed on the image display unit 17, and the game performance and the game entertainment are enhanced by such game effects.

  Here, regarding the special game effect, in particular, if it is determined as “big hit” in a low-probability / non-time-short state (that is, based on the first special figure determination information), any of the special games A and B in FIG. The game effects for special games A and B shown in FIG. 22 are performed. In this special game A and B game production, a battle production is performed. Basically, if the special game A (4R long-term release + 12R short-term release) is performed in the battle production, the game is defeated and the special game B ( 5R long-term opening + 11R short-term opening) will be won.

  When the defeat (second suggestion effect) is displayed on the 4th R and the special game A is performed, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a short time on the 5th R (the 16th R). 14f is not passed, and the low probability / short time state is reached after the special game is ended, and thus the low probability suggestion effect (normal effect) is displayed after the defeat is displayed in the special game effect.

  On the other hand, if victory is displayed in the 4R and the special game B is performed, the instruction to pass the game ball to the specific area 14f (first suggestion effect) is displayed in the 4R along with the victory. Can obtain confirmation that the special game B is being performed, and can perform a launch operation so that the game ball is definitely awarded to the second big prize opening 14a in the 5th R. Then, since the second grand prize winning opening 14a is opened for a long time at 5R, the game ball passes through the specific area 14f, and after the special game ends, the high accuracy / short time state is reached, so that the game ball is in the specific area 14f. V (highly accurate notification effect) is displayed at the first effect timing when passing.

  In other words, in this special game A and B game production, if the game is defeated, the game ball will not pass through the specific area 14f and will be in a low-probability / short-time state after the special game ends, so the player is disappointed. To do. However, if you win in the battle direction, the game ball will pass through the specific area 14f, and after the special game is over, you will be in a highly accurate and short-time state. 1R-4R of the game can be digested, and if the victory is displayed in a stunning battle production and V is displayed, it will be determined that the state will be in high accuracy and short time after the special game is over, so the player will be delighted Can be made.

  Here, when the special game B is being performed, there is a case where not only the battle effect is won but also the defeat may be caused. In this case, the defeat (second suggestion effect) is displayed on the 4R, and the defeat is displayed on the 5R as well as the defeat by the battle effect when the special game A is being performed. However, since the special game B is actually performed, the second big prize opening 14a is opened for a long time at the 5th R, and the game ball passes through the specific area 14f.

  However, since the defeat is displayed on the 5th R and V (high-definition notification effect) is not displayed, after that, in the special game effect as well as the defeat in the battle effect when the special game A is being performed. Since the low probability suggestion effect (normal effect) is displayed, the player is disappointed. However, after doing so, V (highly accurate notification effect) is displayed at the second effect timing after displaying the low probability suggestion effect in the special game effect (a so-called revival effect is performed), and after the special game ends. Since it is determined that the state is highly accurate and time-saving, the player can be more pleased.

  In other words, if the highly accurate notification effect (V display) is performed only at the timing when the game ball passes the specific area 14f, the high accuracy notification effect is performed in the period (5R) in which the game ball can pass the specific area 14f. Otherwise, it is determined that the high accuracy / short time state is not set after the end of the special game, and thereafter, the player can have the expectation that the high probability / short time state is set after the special game ends. However, in the present invention, this problem can be improved as described above, and the effect of producing a special game effect when a special game is being performed can be enhanced.

  Note that the high-probability notification effect performed by the high-probability notification effect control means 62a is not performed at the first effect timing when the game ball passes the specific area 14f, that is, the second after the first effect timing. When it is performed at the production timing, the high-probability notification production may be performed while the high-probability / short-time state is set after the special game ends. For example, a high-probability notification effect may be performed while the special symbol is variably displayed several times after the special game ends (for example, during the first special symbol variation display).

  Alternatively, for example, after the special game is over, the high probability notification effect may be performed when the number of times of the special symbol change display reaches 100 times or 101 times. In that case, after the special game ends, the special symbol will change as the low-accuracy / short time production mode until the number of times the special symbol is changed to 100 when the high accuracy / short time state is set. When displayed, a low-precision / short-time game effect is performed as a symbol variation effect, and after the special symbol variation display count reaches 101 times, the special symbol is variable-displayed as a high-precision / short-time effect mode. When being played, a high-precision / short-time game effect may be performed as the symbol variation effect.

  In addition, various modifications can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines.
