In FIG. 1, an effect display device 11 as a display device having a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH is disposed in the center of a game board 10 of a pachinko gaming machine. Further, a first special figure display H1 as an 8-segment type display device and a second special figure display H2 as an 8-segment type display device are adjacent to the lower left of the game board 10. In addition, in the first special symbol display device H1 and the second special graphic display device H2, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the effect display device 11, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed on the first special figure display H1 or the second special figure display H2 is performed. Specifically, in the effect display device 11, a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display) and a symbol variation game in which a symbol combination is displayed by varying a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns are performed.

  In the symbol variation game, the first special symbol display H1 or the second special symbol display H2 changes a plurality of types of special symbols (hereinafter, may be referred to as “special symbols”) in a single column to change the special symbols. Is displayed. This special symbol is a notification symbol indicating the result of an internal lottery such as whether or not a big hit. Hereinafter, a case where the symbol variation game performed on the first special symbol display H1 is referred to as “first variation game”, and a symbol variation game performed on the second special symbol display H2 is referred to as “second variation game”. There is. On the other hand, in the display effect relating to the symbol variation game, the effect display device 11 varies each of a plurality of types of decorative symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “decorative symbols”) in a plurality of columns (in this embodiment, three columns). Display decorative symbols for each column. This decorative design is a design for production used for diversifying display production.

  Then, on the first special symbol display H1 or the second special symbol display H2, the variation display of the special symbol is started simultaneously with the start of the symbol variation game, and the special symbol is confirmed and stopped simultaneously with the end of the game. In addition, the effect display device 11 starts the display of the decorative symbols at the same time as the start of the symbol variation game. Before the game ends, the ornament symbols are temporarily displayed in a swinging variation state, and simultaneously with the end of the game, The decorative design is displayed with a fixed stop.

  The “variable display” is a state in which the type of the symbol displayed in the display area defined in the indicator that displays the symbol is changing. On the other hand, the “pause display” is a state indicating that there is a possibility that the symbol may be variably displayed again in the display area, for example, a state in which the symbol is displayed in a fluctuation state. The “determined stop display” is a state in which the symbol is fixedly stopped in the display area (a state where the symbol is stopped at the symbol displayed at the end of the symbol variation game).

  Further, the first special symbol display H1 and the effect display device 11 simultaneously start the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game, and end simultaneously (that is, the special symbol and the decorative symbol are simultaneously displayed in a fixed stop state. ). Similarly, in the second special symbol display H2 and the effect display device 11, the display effect relating to the symbol variation game and the symbol variation game is started at the same time and is ended at the same time (that is, the special symbol and the decoration symbol are confirmed and stopped at the same time). ) On the other hand, the first special figure display H1 and the second special figure display H2 do not play the symbol variation game in parallel. That is, only one of the first variation game and the second variation game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first special figure display H1 and the second special figure display H2 include one special corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery from a plurality of types (221 types in the present embodiment). A symbol is selected, and the selected special symbol is individually confirmed and stopped when the symbol variation game ends. 221 types of special symbols are 200 types of big hit symbols (corresponding to the big hit display result) that can recognize big hits, and 20 types of small hit symbols (small hit display results) that can be used to recognize small hits )) And is classified into one type of off-symbol that can be recognized as a symbol. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game. Further, when the small hit symbol is displayed, the player is given a small hit game. The big hit game and the small hit game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or the loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 11. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the effect display device 11 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot becomes a jackpot symbol combination (hit symbol) by a decorative symbol. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device 11 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [678] [122] [767], etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize this deviation is a symbol combination (outlier symbol) that is out of the decorative symbol. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination ([123] [456] in the present embodiment) is displayed among the off symbol combinations, it can be recognized that a big hit game or a small hit game is given. This symbol combination is a symbol combination of chances (chance symbol) that suggests a possibility that a probability variation state in which the probability of jackpot determination is low probability to high probability is given.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in each column in the effect display device 11, when the symbol variation game is started, the ornament symbols are variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). When the symbol variation game starts (when the decorative symbols in each column start to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (middle) as viewed from the player side in the effect display device 11 The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of symbols). When the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach state can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). In the reach state, among the plurality of columns, the decorative symbols in the specific columns (the left column and the right column in the present embodiment) are stopped and displayed as the same type, and the columns other than the specific columns (the middle column in the present embodiment) This is a state in which the decorative design of is variably displayed. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach state becomes the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol. Further, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, after the start of the symbol variation game, the left column where the decorative symbols are first stopped and displayed is the first stop display column, and the right column where the decorative symbols are subsequently stopped and displayed is the second column. It becomes a stop display row | line | column, and also the middle row | line | column which carries out the stop display of a decoration symbol last becomes a 3rd stop display row | line | column.

  In addition, the effect display device 11 is configured to display symbol combinations corresponding to the display results of the first special figure display H1 and the second special figure display H2. More specifically, the special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display H1 or the second special symbol display H2 and the symbol combination by the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 11 correspond to each other. When the process is completed, the symbol combination of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state correspondingly. For example, when a big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display H1 or the second special symbol display H2, the big hit symbol combination or the chance symbol combination is also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11. It has become so. Further, when the off symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display H1 or the second special symbol display area H1, the off symbol combination is also confirmed and displayed on the effect display device 11. . In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and a symbol combination with one decorative symbol is selected from among symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative symbols with respect to one special symbol. Yes. As described above, in the effect display device 11 of the present embodiment, display effects related to the first variable game and the second variable game (symbol variable game in which three rows of symbols are variably displayed to display a combination of symbols).

  Note that in the round game, the opening time of the big winning opening 29 is the maximum time because each round game may end when the number of game balls for the maximum number of balls entered. However, the time of “40 ms” that may be set as the opening time of the big winning opening 29 is the number of game balls that enter the big winning opening 29 in one round game, Insufficient time to reach By the way, in the pachinko machine, since the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to launch one game ball is “600 ms”. In other words, in the round game, the opening time of the big winning opening 29 is 40 ms. This means that in the round game, it is substantially the case that “8 balls”, which is the upper limit of the number of balls entered, are launched and entered. It is impossible.

  From the above, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 1 big hit A, it can be expected to obtain a prescribed number of prize balls in the 1-10 round game, while in the 11-16 round game, the prize ball is obtained.

Become.

  In addition, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 1 big hit E and the special 1 big hit F, it is not possible to expect winning balls in round games of 1 to 4 rounds.

And even if the number of rounds (16 rounds) reported to the special 2 big hit a is the same as the special 2 big hit a, the number of prize balls that can be expected to be obtained is smaller than the special 2 big hit a.

  In the open mode of the special winning opening 29 at the special 2 jackpot c, a specified number of prize balls can be expected in round games of 1 to 8 rounds, but no prize balls can be expected in round games of 9 to 16 rounds.

Therefore, even if the number of rounds to be notified is the same as the special 2 big hit d and the special 2 big hit e, the special 2 big hit f has a number of winning balls that can be expected more than the special 2 big hit d and the special 2 big hit e. Few.

  Further, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 at the special 2 big hit g, it is possible to expect to obtain a specified number of prize balls in a round game of 1 to 8 rounds. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that the name and reality are 8-round big hit games. Therefore, the special 2 big hits g (substantially 8 rounds) and the special 2 big hits c (16 rounds) and the special 2 big hits c (16 rounds) and the special 2 big hits e (12 rounds) are reported. The number of prize balls that can be expected to be acquired is the same as the special 2 big hit e (substantially 8 rounds). In addition, the special 2 big hit g is more than the special 2 big hit f (substantial 6 rounds), although the number of rounds notified is smaller than the special 2 big hit f (12 rounds).

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that it is substantially a big hit game of 6 rounds, and the number of rounds that can be expected to win a prize ball is smaller than the number of rounds (8 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. For this reason, even if the number of reported rounds is the same as the special 2 big hits g (8 rounds), the special 2 big hits h have fewer prize balls than the special 2 big hits g (8 rounds). . The special 2 big hits h have the same number of winning balls as the special 2 big hits f (12 rounds), although the number of rounds to be notified is smaller than the special 2 big hits f (12 rounds). It has become.

  Further, in the open mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 2 big hit i, while a specified number of winning balls can be expected in round games of 1 to 4 rounds, it is not possible to expect winning balls in round games of 5 to 8 rounds. . That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that it is substantially a four-round jackpot game, and the number of rounds that can be expected to win a prize ball is smaller than the number of rounds (8 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. For this reason, even if the number of rounds to be reported is the same as the special 2 big hits g and the special 2 big hits h, the number of winning balls that can be expected to be obtained is higher than the special 2 big hits g and the special 2 big hits h. Few.

  In addition, in the open mode of the big winning opening 29 at the special 2 big hit j, the special 2 big hit k, the special 2 big hit l, and the special 2 big hit m, it is not possible to expect winning balls in round games of 1 to 4 rounds. As described above, the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 in the special 1 big hit G that gives the probability variation state and the special 1 big hit H that does not give the probability variation state is the same. For this reason, after the 1st big hit G and the 1st big hit H are finished, it is impossible to distinguish whether the probability variation state is given or not from the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 and the number of rounds. Similarly, the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 in the special 2 big hit j that gives the probability variation state and the special 2 big hit k to m that does not give the probability variation state is the same. For this reason, after the special 2 big hits j to m are finished, it is impossible to distinguish whether the probability variation state is given or not from the open mode of the big winning opening 29 and the number of rounds.

Based on FIG. 3, FIG. 4, the small hit game prescribed | regulated to the pachinko machine of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail.
The small hit game is started after the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the symbol variation game and the game ends. When the small hit game starts, an opening time is set. When the opening time is over, the special winning opening 29 is opened once. When the special winning opening 29 is opened, it is opened until a prescribed number (game upper limit number) of game balls wins or until a prescribed time (opening time) elapses. When the special winning opening 29 is closed, the ending time is set. When the ending time ends, the small hit game is ended. Depending on the type of the small hit game and the winning state, a predetermined game effect may be executed during the small hit game.

  In the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, when the small hit lottery is won, one small hit game is determined from the plurality of types of small hit games shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and the determined small hit game is determined. Is to be granted. Then, which of the small hit games among a plurality of types of small hit games is determined according to the type of special symbol (small hit symbol) determined when winning the small hit lottery. In this embodiment, the 20 kinds of special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H1 are classified into two groups of symbols I to J as shown in FIG. That is, 10 types of small hit symbols out of the small hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H1 are distributed to the symbol I. Similarly, 10 kinds of small hit symbols among the small hit symbols displayed on the first special symbol display H1 are distributed to the symbol J.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the 20 types of special symbol small hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H2 are classified into two groups of symbol n to symbol o as shown in FIG. That is, 10 types of small hit symbols among the small hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H2 are distributed to the symbol n. Similarly, 10 kinds of small hit symbols among the small hit symbols displayed on the second special symbol display H2 are distributed to the symbol o.

  The small hit game given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol I is displayed on the first special symbol display H1 is hereinafter referred to as “special one small hit I”. The small hit game given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol J is displayed on the first special symbol display H1 is hereinafter referred to as “special one small hit J”. The small hit game given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol n is displayed on the second special figure display H2 is hereinafter referred to as “special two small hit n”. The small hit game given when the big hit symbol classified as the symbol o is displayed on the second special symbol display H2 is hereinafter referred to as “special two small hit o”. When these small hit games are awarded, the game state (probability change state and short change state) at the time of winning the small hit lottery continues even after the end of the small hit game.

  In addition, in the special 1 small hit I and the special 2 small hit n, “4 ms” is set as the opening time. In addition, when the special short stop J is given and the special 2 small hit o is given when the variable state is not given, “6168 ms” is set as the opening time. On the other hand, when the special short state is given and the special 1 small hit J and the special 2 small hit o are given, “4 ms” is set as the opening time. In addition, when the special shortening state is not given and the special 1 small hit I, the special 1 small hit J, the special 2 small hit n, and the special 2 small hit o are given, “4624 ms” is set as the ending time. When set and the variable state is given, if special 1 small hit I, special 1 small hit J, special 2 small hit n, special 2 small hit o are given, the ending time is “4 ms” Is set.

  In addition, when the special 1 small hit I, the special 1 small hit J, the special 2 small hit n, and the special 2 small hit o are given, “40 ms” is set as the opening time of the grand prize opening door 28, and the interval time after closing. “1500 ms” is set. The time of “40 ms” is an insufficient time for the number of game balls entering the big winning opening 29 to reach the upper limit number of balls in one round game. For this reason, in the small hit game, the prize ball cannot be substantially acquired. In addition, since the grand prize winning door 28 is opened only once, the player is hardly noticed. In addition, even if you notice, the release mode in the small hit game is the same as the “40 ms” release mode (Paka release) that can be executed last in the big hit game, so it may have been the last Poca release in the big hit game It can be made to think that it is a small hit game, and it can be lost.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 30 for controlling the entire pachinko machine is mounted on the back side of the pachinko machine. The main control board 30 executes various processes for controlling the entire pachinko machine, calculates various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results, and executes the control signals (control commands). Command). An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 controls the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, and characters) of the effect display device 11 based on the control signal (control command) output from the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A first start port sensor SE1, a second start port sensor SE2, and a count sensor SE3 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a first special figure display H1, a second special figure display H2, a first hold indicator Ra, and a second hold indicator Rb. The main control CPU 30a is connected with a big prize opening solenoid SOL1 and a normal electric accessory solenoid SOL2. The main control CPU 30a is connected to a normal symbol display H10 and a gate sensor SE4. A round notification lamp 51 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. Further, the main control CPU 30a updates the values of various random numbers such as a hit determination random number every predetermined cycle, and stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the main control RAM 30c before updating. Has been rewritten.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for controlling the entire pachinko machine. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a game effect (display effect, light emission) from when the symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts to change (the symbol variation game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the symbol variation game ends). This shows a pattern serving as a base for production and voice production. That is, the variation pattern is the effect of the symbol variation game (presence / absence of jackpot, presence / absence of reach effect, type of jackpot game) and performance time from when the special symbol starts to change until the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. (Variation time) can be specified.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the variation pattern includes variation patterns P1 to P3 for jackpot effects determined when a special one big hit A to a special one big hit D or a special two big hit a to a special two big hit i are given, There is a variation pattern P4 for a big hit effect determined when a special one big hit G to a special one big hit H or a special two big hit j to a special two big hit m is given. Also, a mode determined when a special 1 big hit E, a special 1 big hit F, a special 1 small hit I, a special 1 small hit J or a special 2 small hit n, and a special 2 small hit o are given to the fluctuation pattern. There are variation patterns P5 to P6 for transition effects. In addition, the fluctuation pattern is formed for reach, and after reaching the reach effect, the change pattern P11 to P14 for the outlier reach effect and the outlier effect for the outage effect that does not form the reach are formed. There are fluctuation patterns P21 and P22.

  Further, the variation patterns include variation patterns P7 and P23 for ultra-shortening effects that are executed only after the end of special 2 big hit a to special 2 big hit i until the symbol variation game is executed four times. . Note that the fluctuation pattern P7 is determined at the time of a big hit, and the fluctuation pattern P23 is determined at the time of loss regardless of the result of reach determination.

  The jackpot effect is an effect that the symbol variation game is developed so that the symbol combination of the jackpot is finally confirmed and stopped through the reach effect. The outlier reach effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game undergoes the reach effect, and finally displays the combination of symbols that are out of place. The outlier effect is an effect that is developed so that the symbol variation game finally displays the symbol combination of the outage without being subjected to the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed in the symbol variation game with the decorative symbols on the effect display device 11 after the reach symbol combination is formed, until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived. . The mode transition effect is an effect in which the symbol variation game causes the symbol combination of a predetermined chance to be confirmed and stopped and displayed without going through the reach effect. The super-shortening effect is an effect in which symbols in all rows start to fluctuate regardless of whether the game result is a big hit or not, and the symbol combination is displayed as it is fixedly stopped. The ultra-shortening effect is set to have a shorter variation time (effect time) than a normal off-line effect (so-called normal variation having the highest selection rate among variation patterns).

  In the variation patterns P1 to P4 for the big hit effect and the variation patterns P11 to P14 for the outlier reach effect, a plurality of types of reach effects can be executed. In this embodiment, three types of reach R1 to R3 are configured to be executable, and different jackpot expectations are set for each. The expectation degree of jackpot for each reach effect can be calculated based on the probability of being executed when the jackpot is won and the probability of being executed when the jackpot is lost. Specifically, in the case of being executed with a high probability at the time of a big hit and executing with a low probability at the time of a loss, or in one of the cases, the expectation degree of a big hit for reach production is high. On the other hand, when the jackpot is executed with a low probability and when the jackpot is executed with a high probability, or in either case, the expectation degree of the jackpot for the reach effect is low. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the jackpot expectation degree of reach R1 is the highest, the jackpot expectation degree of reach R2 is intermediate, and the jackpot expectation degree of reach R3 is set to the lowest. The reach R1 is executed based on the fluctuation patterns P1, P11, the reach R2 is executed based on the fluctuation patterns P2, P12, and the reach R3 is executed based on the fluctuation patterns P3, P4, P13, P14.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a big hit determination value. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the internal lottery to determine whether or not the big hit, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by the random numbers for the hit determination. Note that the number of jackpot judgment values differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given, and the number of jackpot judgment values in the probability variation state is set to be larger than the number of jackpot judgment values in the normal state. Yes. Further, the small hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The small hit determination value is a determination value used in an internal lottery for determining whether or not a small hit is made, and is determined from numerical values that can be taken by a random number for hit determination. The main control RAM 30c stores a hit determination random number used when determining the big hit and determining the small hit.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for winning determination is acquired when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games. That is, the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 is the same as the hit determination random number acquired when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 27 belongs to. The big hit determination value and the small hit determination value are also commonly used in the first variable game and the second variable game.

  The main control RAM 30c stores a jackpot type random number used when determining the type of jackpot game when the jackpot is determined. 200 jackpot type random numbers are prepared, each associated with a special symbol. Therefore, when determining the big hit (when the big hit determination is affirmative), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the big hit game and the big hit symbol based on the acquired random number for the big hit type. In this embodiment, the jackpot type random number is acquired when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 25 or the second starting winning opening 27, and the first variation game and the second It is commonly used in fluctuating games.

  The main control RAM 30c stores variation pattern distribution random numbers used for determining a variation pattern. This random number for distribution pattern distribution is distributed to each variation pattern. The main control RAM 30c stores a reach determination random number used when determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. The reach control value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The reach determination value is a determination value used in the reach lottery (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect when the symbol variation game is lost, and is determined from the values that can be taken by the random numbers for reach determination. ing. The various random numbers stored in the main control RAM 30c are updated at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update. The effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). In addition, a first prize notification lamp 21a and a second prize notification lamp 21b are connected to the CPU 31a for effect control. The effect display device 11 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a.

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the special symbol input process. As shown in FIG. 12, first, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. When the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start hold storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S2). ).

  When the determination result of step S2 is affirmative (first special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the first special figure start reserved memory number, and sets the first special figure start reserved memory number. Rewrite (step S3). At this time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first hold indicator Ra so as to represent the first special figure start hold memory number after 1 addition. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads and obtains the reach determination random number value, the hit determination random number value, the variation pattern distribution random number, and the big hit type random number value from the main control RAM 30c, The value is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the first special figure starting reserved storage number (step S4). Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a first hold designation command indicating the number of first special figure start hold memories after rewriting.

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

  If the determination result in step S6 is affirmative (second special figure start reserved memory number <4), the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the second special figure start reserved memory number, and sets the second special figure start reserved memory number. Rewrite (step S7). At this time, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the second hold indicator Rb so as to represent the second special figure start hold memory number after 1 addition. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a second hold designation command indicating the updated second special figure start hold storage number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a reads and obtains the reach determination random number value, the hit determination random number value, the variation pattern distribution random number, and the big hit type random number value from the main control RAM 30c, This value is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c associated with the second special figure start pending storage number (step S8). Then, the special symbol input process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S2 is negative (first special figure start reserved memory number = 4), the main control CPU 30a sets the first special figure start reserved memory number to the first start winning opening 25 when the upper limit is the first special figure start reserved memory number. A first over winning command indicating that the game ball has been won is output (step S9), and the process proceeds to step 5. If the determination result in step S6 is negative, the main control CPU 30a indicates that the game ball has been won in the second start winning opening 27 when the second special figure start reserved memory number is the upper limit. A winning command is output (step S10), and the special symbol input process is terminated. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a serves as a random number acquisition unit. Further, the main control RAM 30c serves as a holding storage means.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
13 and 14 are flowcharts of the special symbol start process. First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbols (special symbols and decorative symbols) are being displayed in a variable manner and whether or not the jackpot game is being played (step S11). If the determination result of step S11 is affirmative (when the symbol variation game or the big hit game is being played), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of step S11 is negative, the main control CPU 30a reads the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S12), and whether or not the second special figure start reserved memory number is greater than "0". (Step S13).

  When the determination result of step S13 is negative (when the second special figure start hold memory number = 0), the main control CPU 30a reads the first special figure start hold memory number (step S14) and starts the first special figure start. It is determined whether or not the number of reserved memories is greater than “0” (step S15). When the determination result of step S15 is negative (when the first special figure start hold storage number = 0), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S15 is affirmative (when the first special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main control CPU 30a displays a special symbol variation processing flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Is set to a value [0] indicating that the first variable game is to be executed (step S16). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the number of the first special figure start hold memory number (step S17), and is associated with the first special figure start hold memory number in the main control RAM 30c. The random number for hit determination, the random number for reach determination, the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution, and the random number for jackpot type stored in the storage area are acquired (step S18).

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a reads various random numbers stored in the first storage area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number “1” stored earliest. Further, after reading the random number, the main control CPU 30a uses various random numbers stored in the first storage area associated with the first special figure start reserved memory number “2” as the first special figure start reserved memory number. Store in the first storage area associated with “1”. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a corresponds to various random numbers stored in the first storage area associated with the first special figure start hold memory number “3” corresponding to the first special figure start hold memory number “2”. Store in the attached first storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a supports various random numbers stored in the first storage area associated with the first special figure start hold memory number “4” corresponding to the first special figure start hold memory number “3”. Store in the attached first storage area. Further, the main control CPU 30a erases various random numbers stored in the first storage area associated with the first special figure start hold storage number “4”. Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the first hold indicator Ra so as to represent the first special figure start reserved memory number after 1 subtraction when the first special figure start hold memory number is subtracted by 1. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a first hold designation command indicating the updated first special figure start hold memory number.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired value of the random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, thereby determining the big hit (big hit lottery). Is performed (step S19). In the present embodiment, the jackpot determination value is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given. In other words, when the probability change state is high (when the probability is high), the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative is the probability that the determination result of the big hit determination is positive when the normal state (when the probability is low) (hit probability) Higher than.

  When the determination result in step S19 is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main control CPU 30a sets [1] to a big hit flag indicating that it is a big hit variation (step S20). Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the big hit game based on the acquired value of the big hit type random number, and also selects the first special figure display H1 (the second variable game of the second variable game) from the big hit symbols based on the special symbols. In some cases, the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped is determined by the second special symbol display H2) (step S21). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns corresponding to the determined jackpot game (step S22).

  Specifically, when determining the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D, the main control CPU 30a decides the variation pattern P1 to P3 for the big hit effect. When determining the special one big hit G and the special one big hit H, the main control CPU 30a decides the variation pattern P4 for the big hit effect. When determining the special 1 big hit E, the main control CPU 30a determines the change pattern P5 for the mode transition effect. When determining the special 1 big hit F, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P6 for the mode transition effect. Also, the main control CPU 30a, when determining the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i in the symbol variation game within 4 times after the end of the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i, changes for the super shortening effect. The pattern P7 is determined. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 30a determines the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i when it is not the symbol variation game within 4 times after the end of the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i, It is determined from among the fluctuation patterns P1 to P3. When determining the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit m, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P4 for the big hit effect.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, outputs various control commands for the first variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command at a predetermined timing to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a). In the case of the second variation game, various processes relating to the second variation game are executed (step S23). Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the first special figure display H1 (or the second special figure display H2 in the case of the second variable game) so that the special figure starts to fluctuate. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command (a jackpot type designation command) for designating the final stop symbol and the type of jackpot game. Then, 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 displays the first special symbol so that the determined final stop symbol is displayed based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern. The display contents of the device H1 (second special figure display device H2 in the case of the second variation game) are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the decorative symbols based on the effect time determined in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for displaying the symbol combination in a fixed stop state.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step S19 is negative (not a big hit), the main control CPU 30a matches the acquired hit determination random number value with the small hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. It is determined whether or not to make a small hit determination (small hit lottery) (step S24). If the determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a sets [1] to the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is a small hit (step S25). Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the type of the small hit game, and the first special figure display H1 (the second special figure display H2 in the case of the second variable game) from among the small hits based on the special symbols. To determine the final stop symbol to be displayed for final stop (step S26). Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for mode transition effect corresponding to the determined small hit game (step S27).

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P5 for the mode transition effect when the special 1 small hit I or the special 2 small hit n is determined. When determining the special 1 small hit J or the special 2 small hit o, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P6 for the mode transition effect. Then, the main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, proceeds to step S23, and outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing as described above. Etc., various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the small hit determination in step S24 is negative (not a small hit), a reach determination is performed to determine whether or not a reach effect is to be executed (step S28). In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c during the process of step S28 matches the reach determination value.

  If the determination result in step S28 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a displays a missed symbol on the first special figure display H1 (second special figure display H2 in the case of the second variation game). ) Is determined as the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped (step S29). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from among the variation patterns P11 to P14 for the outlier reach effect (step S30). Note that the main control CPU 30a, when it is a symbol variation game within four times after the end of the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i, does not depend on the determination result of reach determination, the fluctuation pattern for the super shortening effect P23 is determined.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol shifts to the process of step S23, and outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S28 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a displays the off symbol in the first special figure display H1 (second special figure display in the case of the second variable game). In H2), it is determined as a final stop symbol to be displayed with a fixed stop (step S31). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines from the variation patterns P21 and P22 for the offending effect (step S32). In the present embodiment, when the total number of the first special figure start hold memory number and the second special figure start hold memory number is “3” or less, the fluctuation pattern P21 of the normal fluctuation is determined, and “4 If it is greater than or equal to, the variation pattern P22 of the shortening variation is determined. In the shortened variation, the production time is set shorter than the normal variation. Note that the main control CPU 30a displays the variation pattern P23 for the super shortening effect regardless of the number of reserved memories in the case of the symbol variation game within four times after the end of the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i. decide.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol shifts to the process of step S23, and outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. Various processes related to the first variable game (various processes related to the second variable game in the case of the second variable game) are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main control CPU 30a displays a special symbol variation processing flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Is set to a value [1] indicating that the second variable game is to be executed (step S33). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S34), and is associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number in the main control RAM 30c. The random number for hit determination, the random number for reach determination, the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution, and the random number for jackpot type stored in the storage area are acquired (step S35).

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a reads various random numbers stored in the second storage area associated with the second special figure start pending storage number “1” stored earliest. Further, after reading the random number, the main control CPU 30a converts the various random numbers stored in the second storage area associated with the second special figure start hold memory number “2” into the second special figure start hold memory number. Store in the second storage area associated with “1”. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a supports various random numbers stored in the second storage area associated with the second special figure start hold memory number “3” corresponding to the second special figure start hold memory number “2”. Store in the attached first storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a corresponds various random numbers stored in the second storage area associated with the second special figure start hold memory number “4” to the second special figure start hold memory number “3”. Store in the attached second storage area. Further, the main control CPU 30a erases various random numbers stored in the second storage area associated with the second special figure start pending storage number “4”. Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the second hold indicator Rb so as to represent the second special figure start reserved memory number after 1 subtraction when the second special figure start hold memory number is subtracted by 1. . Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a second hold designation command indicating the updated second special figure start hold storage number.

  Hereinafter, processing related to the second variation game is executed based on the acquired random number, but since it is the same as the processing (step S19 to step S32) in the first variation game, detailed description is omitted.

  By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main control CPU 30a Precisely execute a variable game. The second start winning opening 27 has the open / close blade 26 open to facilitate the winning of the game ball when the improved winning rate is given, and as a result, the improved winning rate is given. In the probability variation state or the variation state, the second variation game is easily executed continuously.

  And, when the big win is achieved in the second variation game, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that in the first variation game, but there are many substantial rounds that can be expected to win prize balls. A big hit game is easily given. Specifically, a special 2 big hit a having a substantial number of rounds of 16 is given more than other big hit games. As a result, when a big hit is achieved in the second variable game, it is possible to expect a prize ball to be obtained more than in the first variable game. Therefore, when a big hit is made when the entrance rate improvement state is given, it is more advantageous for the player than when the entrance rate improvement state is not given.

  From the above, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment serves as a big hit determining means for determining whether or not to display the big hit result in the symbol variation game. Further, the main control CPU 30a serves as a jackpot game determining means for determining the type of jackpot game.

  Then, when the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit (when [1] is set in the big hit flag), after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, the main control CPU 30a of the type specified based on the final stop symbol The control of the big hit game is started, and a predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described.

  First, the main control CPU 30a starts setting an opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. The main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 29 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a wins a big prize until the upper limit number (8 in this embodiment) of game balls wins or until a prescribed time predetermined for each round game elapses. Open mouth 29. Then, when the special winning opening 29 is closed, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until an interval time predetermined for each round game elapses, and then ends the round game. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached. When the predetermined number of round games are finished, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a sets (clears) the jackpot flag to [0] and ends the jackpot game.

  At this time, the main control CPU 30a sets the probability variation state and the variation state. That is, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when the special one big hit A to the special one big hit G and the special two big hit a to the special two big hit j are given. Set. On the other hand, when the special control big hit H, the special big two hit k to the special big two hit m are given, the main control CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag to “0” and sets the probability variation state. No (sets an indeterminate variation state).

  When the special control big hit A to special special big hit D and special special big hit a to special big hit i are given, the main control CPU 30a remains in a variable state until the next big hit game is given to the operation flag. A value “2” indicating the presence is set. Further, when the main control CPU 30a is not in the variable speed state, and the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit H and the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit m are given, the operation flag is not in the variable state. A value “0” indicating “” is set. When the special control big hit E to special big hit G and special big hit j are given during the variable state, the main control CPU 30a is in the variable state until the next big hit game is given to the operation flag. A value “2” is set to indicate that

  Further, the main control CPU 30a grants the reduced state until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are provided when the special 1 big hit H and the special 2 big hit k to the special 2 big hit m are given during the reduced state. A value “1” is set to indicate that this is to be done. At this time, the main control CPU 30a sets 30 as the remaining number of times of change when the special 1 big hit H is given during the change state. The main control CPU 30a sets 100 as the remaining number of times of change when the special 2 big hit k is given during the change state. The main control CPU 30a sets 50 as the remaining number of times of change when the special 2 big hit l is given during the change state. The main control CPU 30a sets 30 as the remaining number of times of change when the special 2 big hit m is given during the change state.

  When the value “1” indicating that the state is variable until the predetermined number of symbol variation games is given to the operation flag, the main control CPU 30a remains variable for each symbol variation game. The value is updated by subtracting 1 from the number of times. When the remaining number of times of change becomes “0”, the main control CPU 30a sets a value “0” indicating that the operation flag is not in the change state to end the change state. In addition, when the big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a sets “0” to the probability change flag and the operation flag (resets once) so that the probability change state and the variable state are not given during the big hit game. ing.

  In addition, when determining the small hit (when [1] is set in the small hit flag), the main control CPU 30a is specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern. Control of the kind of small hit game is started, and a predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a). Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described.

  First, the main control CPU 30a starts setting an opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 29 after the opening time ends. Then, when the special winning opening 29 is closed, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until a predetermined interval time elapses. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time elapses, the main control CPU 30a sets (clears) the small hit flag to [0] and ends the small hit game. Note that the main control CPU 30a does not set a new value or reset the probability change flag, the operation flag, and the remaining number of times of change even when a small hit game is awarded. For this reason, even if a small hit game is given, the game state (probability change state and short change state) before the small hit game is maintained.

Next, processing related to the normal symbol variation game will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the operation gate 24. That is, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a gate sensor detection signal output when the gate sensor SE4 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a reads and acquires the value of the normal hit determination random number from the main control RAM 30c, and sets it in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c.

  After that, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the normal hit determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c when the normal figure is not being displayed in a variable manner and not being played per normal figure. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination. In the normal state (when “0” is assigned to the operation flag) and in the big hit game, the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 16384/65536. . In the variable state (when “1” is assigned to the operation flag), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (normal hit probability) is 65535/65536. In other words, the normal hit probability is high during the variable state.

  Then, in the case of the normal hit, the main control CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol to be confirmed and displayed on the normal symbol display H10 from the normal symbol hit symbols [1] and [2]. In the case of a loss, the main control CPU 30a determines the final stop symbol displayed as a fixed stop on the normal symbol display H10 as the normal symbol error symbol [0].

  After that, the main control CPU 30a determines a normal fluctuation pattern. The normal figure fluctuation pattern is a normal figure fluctuation pattern for a normal state that is determined during a normal state or a jackpot game where no variable state is assigned, and a variable that is determined when a variable state is assigned. It is categorized as a general fluctuation pattern for short-term conditions. Furthermore, the normal pattern change pattern for the normal state in the present embodiment is provided with three types of patterns having different change times. Specifically, the first normal pattern variation pattern of 2000 ms with the shortest variation time, the second normal pattern variation pattern of 4000 ms longer than the variation time of the first normal diagram variation pattern, and the second general diagram variation A third ordinary pattern variation pattern of 6000 ms, which is longer than the variation time of the pattern, is provided. On the other hand, there is only one type of normal map change pattern for the variable speed state in the present embodiment, and the change time is set to a time (520 ms) shorter than the change time of the first normal map change pattern. It is a 4 regular map fluctuation pattern.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a determines the fourth normal pattern variation pattern when the variable state is assigned, and determines the first general pattern change pattern, the first variable pattern when the variable state is not applied. Either the 2nd map variation pattern or the 3rd map variation pattern is determined. The main control CPU 30a that has determined the normal variation pattern and the final stop symbol executes various processes relating to the general game. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 so that the normal symbol starts to fluctuate. The main control CPU 30a also outputs to the effect control board 31 a normal symbol designation command for notifying the normal symbol and a normal symbol variation pattern for instructing the start of the normal game and the time of the normal game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time of the usual variation game. After that, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the normal symbol display H10 so as to display the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time determined in the determined common symbol variation pattern.

  Then, when determining the normal hit, the main control CPU 30a executes a control related to the hit per game after the normal game based on the determined normal game fluctuation pattern. When the normal game is started, the main control CPU 30a opens the opening and closing blades 26 four times and opens until 900 ms elapses after opening each time when the variable speed state is given. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so as to maintain the state. On the other hand, when the normal game is started, the main control CPU 30a opens the opening and closing blades 26 once when the variable speed state is not given, and opens until 200 ms elapses after opening each time. The ordinary electric accessory solenoid SOL2 is controlled so as to maintain the state.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the effect display device 11 is controlled to execute a symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. In addition, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs the variation pattern designation command and the special symbol designation command, the effect display device is based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. 11 determines the symbol combination based on the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped. Furthermore, when the jackpot symbol is designated as the final stop symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines the specific effect contents of the jackpot game based on the type of jackpot game corresponding to the jackpot symbol. Then, the effect control CPU 31a is configured to execute a game effect related to the jackpot game based on the specific contents of the determined jackpot game during the jackpot game. Similarly, during the small hit game, the effect control CPU 31a is configured to execute a game effect related to the small hit game based on the specific content of the specified small hit game.

  In addition, when the first over-winning command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the first winning notification lamp 21a to emit light. In addition, when the second over-winning command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the second winning notification lamp 21b to emit light.

  Next, a detailed process for determining a symbol combination (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a confirmed symbol) based on a decorative symbol to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 at the end of the symbol variation game will be described.

  When the type of jackpot game designated by the special symbol designation command (big hit type designation command) is special one big hit A to D or special two big hit a to i, the effect control CPU 31a A definite symbol is determined from the symbol combinations ([111] [333] [555] [777]). In addition, when the type of jackpot game designated by the special symbol designation command is special jackpot G to H or special jackpot j to m, the effect control CPU 31a is a jackpot symbol combination ([[ 222] [444] [666] [888]). For this reason, when the jackpot symbol combination composed of odd symbols is displayed as the confirmed symbol, the player can recognize that the probability variation state is given. On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol combination composed of even symbols is displayed as the confirmed symbol, the player cannot recognize that the probability variation state is given.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a, when the type of the hit game designated by the special symbol designation command is the special 1 big hit E, the special 1 small hit I, and the special 2 small hit n, the symbol combination of chance ([123]) Is determined as a confirmed symbol. Further, the effect control CPU 31a selects a chance symbol combination ([456]) when the type of hit game designated by the special symbol designation command is a special 1 big hit F, a special 1 big hit J, or a special 2 small hit o. Determined as a confirmed symbol.

  In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier design and the variation patterns P11 to P14 for the outlier reach production are designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the outlier reach as a symbol combination by the decorative symbols. Determine the symbol combination. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier design, and the variation patterns P21 to P23 for the offending effect are designated, the effect control CPU 31a uses a symbol combination as an ornament symbol. To decide. Then, as described above, the effect control CPU 31a displays the symbol combination of the determined decorative symbols in a fixed stop display according to the input of all symbol stop commands.

  Next, processing in the small hit game will be described. When the small hit game is executed, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the game effect according to the input control command and the game state at the time of winning, and executes the game effect of the effect content.

  For example, when the special 1 small hit I is given when the variable state is not given, the effect control CPU 31a causes the game effect to be executed in the same manner as the special 1 big hit E. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to determine which of the special 1 small hit I and the special 1 big hit E is based on the contents of the game effect. When the special 1 small hit J is given when the variable state is not given, the effect control CPU 31a causes the game effect to be executed in the same effect manner as the special 1 big hit F. For this reason, it is difficult for the player to determine which of the special 1 small hit J and the special 1 big hit F is based on the contents of the game effect.

  In addition, when a variable state is given, if a special 1 small hit I, a special 1 small hit J, a special 2 small hit n, a special 2 small hit o is given, a game corresponding to the granted The production is not executed. That is, when the variable state is given, the game effect is executed so as to hide as much as possible that the special 1 small hit I, the special 1 small hit J, the special 2 small hit n, and the special 2 small hit o are given. Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the present embodiment is configured such that a “probability change confirmation mode” for notifying the player that the probability change state is given can be executed by the effect display device 11. Further, in the present embodiment, when the variable state is not assigned, the “probability concealment concealment mode” for notifying the player that the probability change state can be expected can be executed on the effect display device 11. It is configured. Further, in the present embodiment, the “changing mode” is given, and the “chance mode” that can be expected when the probability changing state is given is configured to be executable by the effect display device 11. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 is configured to be able to execute a “normal effect mode” for notifying the player that the variable state and the probability change state are not given.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 displays the decorative symbols in each column so as to overlap the background image, and the symbol variable game is executed by variably displaying these decorative symbols. In the present embodiment, the probability variation state is given by allowing the player to know the type of the production mode currently staying at the player from the type of the background image displayed on the production display device 11. It is notified whether it can be expected or notified that a certain change state is given. The background image in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment is an image that can be configured excluding the decorative symbols displayed in the symbol variation game.

  In the present embodiment, when the effect mode being executed (staying) is the probability variation confirmation mode, an image dedicated to the probability variation confirmation mode is displayed as a background image and it can be recognized that the user is staying in the probability variation confirmation mode. As described above, the character image in the “probability change confirmation mode” is displayed on the upper part of the image display unit GH. In addition, when the effect mode being executed in the present embodiment is the probability variation concealment mode, an image dedicated to the probability variation concealment mode is displayed as a background image, and “probability variation” is provided so that it can be recognized that the user stays in the probability variation concealment mode. A character image of “secret mode” is displayed at the top of the image display portion GH. In addition, when the effect mode being executed in the present embodiment is the chance mode, an image dedicated to the chance mode is displayed as a background image, and the “chance mode” is set so that it can be recognized that the user is staying in the chance mode. A character image is displayed at the top of the image display portion GH. Further, when the effect mode being executed in the present embodiment is the normal effect mode, an image dedicated to the normal effect mode is displayed as a background image. FIG. 15 shows a mode transition mode when the variable state is not given to the inside of the broken line portion, and shows a mode shift mode when the variable state is given to the outside of the broken line portion. Further, which effect mode is currently set is stored in the effect control RAM 31c.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the normal effect mode is an effect mode that is executed (stays) when the variable state is not given. When the effect mode during execution (staying) is the normal effect mode, if the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given, the CPU 31a for effect control After the big hit game is finished, the probability variation confirmation mode is set. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, special 1 big hit E to special 1 big hit H, special 1 small hit I, special 1 small hit J, special 2 big hit j to special 2 big hit m, special 2 small When the winning n and the special 2 small hit o are given, the CPU 31a for effect control sets the probability variation concealment mode after the winning game ends.

  Further, the probability variation concealment mode is an effect mode that is executed when the variable state is not given. When the performance mode being executed is the probability change concealment mode, if the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given, the production control CPU 31a ends the big hit game. Then set the probability change confirmation mode. Also, when the performance mode being executed is the probability concealment concealment mode, special 1 big hit E to special 1 big hit H, special 1 small hit I, special 1 small hit J, special 2 big hit j to special 2 big hit m, special 2 When the small hit n and the special 2 small hit o are given, the effect control CPU 31a continues the probability variation concealment mode after the hit game ends. Further, when the performance mode being executed is the probability variation concealment mode and the probability variation state is not given, the effect control CPU 31a performs the symbol variation game a predetermined number of times after the probability variation concealment mode is set. When is executed, the normal production mode is set. The number of times until shifting is determined in advance by lottery at the start of the probability variation concealment mode. In the present embodiment, any one of 20, 40, and 60 times is determined.

  The probability variation confirmation mode is an effect mode that is executed when the variation state and the certain variation state are given. If the performance mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, special 1 big hit A to special 1 big hit D, special 1 small hit I, special 1 small hit J, special 2 big hit a to special 2 big hit i, special 2 small hit n When the special 2 small hit o is given, the effect control CPU 31a continues the probability change confirmation mode after the big hit game ends. Further, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, when the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit H and the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit m are given, the effect control CPU 31a ends the hit game. After that, set the chance mode.

  The chance mode is an effect mode that is executed when the variable state is given. When the performance mode being executed is the chance mode, if the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D, or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given, the CPU 31a for production control, Set the probability change confirmation mode. Also, when the performance mode being executed is the chance mode, special 1 big hit E to special 1 big hit H, special 1 small hit I, special 1 small hit J, special 2 big hit j to special 2 big hit m, special 2 small hit When n and special 2 small hits o are awarded, the effect control CPU 31a continues the chance mode after the winning game ends. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the chance mode and the variable state ends, the effect control CPU 31a sets the normal effect mode.

  In the present embodiment, in the probability variation confirmation mode, a jackpot notice effect and a jackpot type notice effect dedicated to the certainty confirmation mode can be executed. The jackpot notice effect is an effect for notifying the possibility that the symbol variation game will be a big hit (expected degree of big hit). The jackpot notice effect is an effect of displaying a plurality of types of first notice images in stages in a predetermined order, and an upper limit of the number of steps to be increased is determined according to the degree of jackpot expectation. In addition, when reaching a predetermined big hit determination stage, it is informed that any one of special 2 big hits a to special 2 big hits i is given.

  As shown in FIG. 16A or FIG. 16B, the first notice image in the big hit notice effect is displayed in the lower area of the image display unit GH. And the character image from which a display color differs for every step is set as a 1st preview image. In the present embodiment, the maximum upper limit number of stages of the jackpot notice effect is four, and in accordance with this, character images of four colors are set as the first notice image. For example, when the number of stages of the big hit announcement effect is the first stage, a white character image is set. When the number of stages of the big hit announcement effect is the second stage, a blue character image is set. When the number of stages of the big hit announcement effect is the third stage, a yellow character image is set. When the number of stages of the big hit announcement effect is the fourth stage, a red character image is set. That is, in the jackpot notice effect, the character image and the display color of the character image are changed each time the level is increased. In the present embodiment, the fourth stage is a jackpot determination stage.

  The jackpot type notice effect is an effect for notifying the advantage of the jackpot game to be given. This jackpot type notice effect is an effect that displays a plurality of types of second notice images in stages in a predetermined order, and an upper limit of the number of steps to be increased is determined according to the advantage of the jackpot game given. Is done. In this embodiment, the advantage of the big hit game is the actual number of rounds (the number of round games that can be expected to win a prize ball, that is, the number of round games whose release time is “25000 ms”). The jackpot type notice effect is continuously executed after the number of stages of the jackpot notice effect reaches the jackpot finalizing stage. Also, the jackpot type notice effect is continuously executed even during the jackpot game. And as for the jackpot type notice effect, when the big hit game ends, the jackpot type notice effect ends as a rule. On the other hand, the jackpot notice effect is switched to the jackpot type notice effect when the jackpot type notice effect ends.

  As shown in FIG. 16C and FIG. 16D, the second notice image in the big hit type notice effect is displayed on the left side of the character image displayed in the big hit notice effect in the lower area of the image display unit GH. The Then, as the second notice image, an image combining numbers and letters is set, and a number image corresponding to the number of stages is set. That is, when the number of stages of the big hit type notice effect increases by one, a number image with one number increased is displayed. The first stage is a number image of the number “1”, and the character image is “soul”. That is, in the jackpot type notice effect, the image corresponding to the first stage is “1 soul”, and the image corresponding to the second stage is “2 souls”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, whether or not the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given in the symbol variable game based on the second special figure start reserved memory number (the second variable game held). It is configured to be read-ahead. Then, when the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i are put on hold, the big hit is confirmed in the big hit announcement effect executed in advance (from a plurality of games before the target second variable game). Can be notified. After that, the big hit type notice effect is started from a plurality of games before the target second variable game, and the advantage of the held big hit game can be notified step by step.

  Hereinafter, processing related to the jackpot notice effect and processing related to the jackpot type notice effect will be described. First, the prefetching process related to the prefetching of the type of jackpot game and the presence / absence of the jackpot game based on the symbol variation game based on the second special figure start reserved memory number will be described. The prefetching process is executed by the main control CPU 30a. Further, the prefetch process is continuously executed after the special symbol input process is completed.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the prefetch process. When the main control CPU 30a executes the look-ahead process, first, the hit determination random number value acquired in step S8 of the special symbol input process (the hit determination stored in association with the second special figure start pending storage number). The random number) is compared with the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state, and it is determined whether or not both values match (step S51). Since the prefetch command is used only in the probability change confirmation mode, it is compared with the jackpot determination value in the probability change state. When the determination result of step S51 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a recognizes in advance that the symbol variation game based on the detected start-up ball is a big hit.

  If the determination result in step S51 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a identifies the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot type random number acquired in step S8 of the special symbol input process (step S52). Thereby, based on the game ball won this time, the type of jackpot game to be awarded is prefetched. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs information (in this embodiment, a prefetch command) specifying the second special figure start pending storage number and the jackpot game type updated in step S7 (step S53), and prefetch processing Exit. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S51 is negative (in the case of detachment), the main control CPU 30a ends the prefetch process as it is.

  When the prefetch command is input, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command in the effect control RAM 31c in association with the second special figure start hold storage number specified by the prefetch command. Then, each time the second variation game is executed, the effect control CPU 31a updates (subtracts 1) the second special figure start reserved memory number associated with the prefetch command. As a result, it is possible to recognize the timing when the second floating game on hold is a big hit, and also to recognize the type of the big hit game.

Next, the jackpot notice effect setting process related to the setting for executing the jackpot notice effect will be described.
FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the jackpot notice effect setting process related to the setting of the jackpot notice effect. The jackpot announcement effect setting process is executed for each symbol variation game (every variation pattern designation command is input) during the probability variation confirmation mode. When the jackpot notice effect setting process is executed, the effect control CPU 31a first determines whether or not the big hit type notice effect is being performed (step S101). Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not “1” is set in the big hit type notice flag indicating that the big hit type notice effect is being executed. If the determination result of step S101 is affirmative, the jackpot notice effect setting process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S101 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a is given a special 2 big hit a to a special 2 big hit i in the second floating game or the symbol variation game to be executed? It is determined whether or not (step S102). Specifically, a prefetch command is stored, and when it is determined that the type of jackpot game designated in the prefetch command is special 2 big hit a to special 2 big hit i, or by a special symbol designation command, When it is determined that the two big hits a to the special two big hits i are given, the CPU 31a for effect control makes the determination result in step S102 affirmative.

  When the determination result in step S102 is affirmative (when special 2 big hit a to special 2 big hit i are given), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the big hit type notice effect (step S103). In the present embodiment, the lottery is performed with a predetermined probability.

  When the determination result in step S103 is affirmative (when the jackpot type notice effect is executed), the effect control CPU 31a sets the jackpot determination stage (fourth stage in the present embodiment) as the upper limit of the number of stages in the jackpot notice effect. (Step S104). At the same time, the effect control CPU 31a sets “1” to the start flag indicating that it is determined to start the jackpot type notice effect. In addition, the initial stage “0” is set as the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect. Thereafter, the jackpot notice effect setting process ends.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S102 or step S103 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a sets an upper limit of the number of stages in the jackpot notice effect according to the expected degree of jackpot of the specified variation pattern (step S105). In addition, the initial stage “0” is set as the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect. Thereafter, the jackpot notice effect setting process ends.

  Specifically, when the big hit expectation is high (when reach R1 is executed), the production control CPU 31a sets the third step with a high probability as the upper limit of the number of steps in the big hit announcement effect. The effect control CPU 31a sets the second step with a high probability as the upper limit of the number of steps in the jackpot notice effect when the big hit expectation is intermediate (when reach R2 is executed). When the big hit expectation is low (when reach R3 is executed or when the reach effect is not executed), the effect control CPU 31a sets the first step with high probability as the upper limit of the number of steps in the big hit notice effect. That is, the higher the big hit expectation, the larger the number of stages in the big hit notice effect. The effect control CPU 31a sets the jackpot determination stage (fourth stage) as the upper limit of the number of stages in the jackpot notice effect only when it is determined that the jackpot game is awarded.

Next, the jackpot type notice effect setting process related to the setting for executing the jackpot type notice effect will be described.
FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the jackpot type notice effect setting process related to the setting of the jackpot type notice effect. The jackpot type notice effect setting process is executed after the jackpot notice effect setting process ends. When the big hit type notice effect setting process is executed, the effect control CPU 31a first determines whether or not the big hit type notice effect is being performed (step S201). Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not “1” is set in the big hit type notice flag indicating that the big hit type notice effect is being executed. If the determination result in step S201 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a directly ends the jackpot type notice effect setting process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S201 is negative (when the big hit type notice effect is not being performed), the production control CPU 31a has the start flag set to “1” (that is, the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i). Is determined), it is determined whether or not the start of the jackpot type notice effect is determined (step S202). When the determination result of step S202 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a ends as it is.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S202 is affirmative (when the start of the big hit type notice effect is determined), the effect control CPU 31a is in the second variable game to be held or the symbol variable game to be executed. The type of jackpot game to be given is specified (step S203). Specifically, when a special 2 big hit a to a special 2 big hit i are given by the second floating game being held, the type of the big hit game is specified based on the prefetch command. In addition, in the symbol variation game to be executed, when the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i are awarded, the type of the big hit game is specified by the input special symbol designation command.

  And after execution of step S203, CPU31a for production control specifies the advantage of the specified jackpot game (step S204). That is, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the advantage of the big hit game (that is, the actual number of rounds) from the type of the big hit game.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines the upper limit of the total number of stages to be increased in the jackpot type notice effect (hereinafter referred to as the total increased number of stages) in proportion to the specified advantage (the number of actual rounds) (step S205). ). Further, the effect control CPU 31a sets the initial stage “0” as the current stage number of the jackpot type notice effect. The big hit type notice effect setting process is terminated. In step S205, an upper limit of the total number of steps in the jackpot type notice effect to be executed before the jackpot game is awarded is determined.

  Specifically, the number of stages obtained by multiplying the specified number of actual rounds by a predetermined number of stages (8 stages in the present embodiment) is determined as the upper limit of the total number of increased stages. In other words, if the number of real rounds is 4 rounds of special 2 big hits i, the upper limit of the total increase step number is “32”, and if the number of real rounds is 6 rounds of special 2 big hits f and special 2 big hits h, the total The upper limit of the number of increase steps is “48”. Similarly, if the actual number of rounds is 8 rounds of special 2 big hits c, special 2 big hits e, and special 2 big hits g, the upper limit of the total number of increase steps is set to “64”. Similarly, if the number of real rounds is 12 rounds of special 2 big hits b and special 2 big hits d, the upper limit of the total number of steps is “96”, and if the number of rounds is 16 rounds of special 2 big hits a, The upper limit of the total increase step number is “128”. As a result, every time the actual number of rounds increases by one round, the level is increased by 8 levels (the total number of increased levels is increased by 8).

  Note that the number of stages to be increased for each round corresponds to the upper limit number of balls (8) in one round game. In other words, it can be said that the upper limit of the total number of increase steps in the jackpot type notice effect is determined in proportion to the number of game balls expected to enter in the jackpot game.

Next, the jackpot notice effect execution process at the time of execution of the jackpot notice effect will be described. The jackpot notice effect execution process is executed at predetermined intervals during the symbol variation game.
FIG. 20 shows a flowchart of the big hit announcement effect execution process. The effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a step increase condition described later is satisfied (step S301). When the determination result in step S301 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the big hit notice effect execution process.

  When the determination result in step S301 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control determines whether or not the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect has reached the upper limit set in step S104 or step S105 of the jackpot notice effect setting process. (Step S302). When the determination result in step S302 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the jackpot notice effect execution process without increasing the number of current stages of the jackpot notice effect.

  When the determination result of step S302 is negative (when it is not the upper limit), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to increase the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect (step S303). At this time, the probability of increasing is reduced in inverse proportion to the number of current stage stages of the jackpot notice effect. That is, as the number of current stage stages of the jackpot notice effect increases, it becomes more difficult to increase. The effect control CPU 31a clears the establishment of the step increase condition in step S303.

  If the determination result in step S303 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a adds 1 to the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect, and updates and stores the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect (step S304). In addition, the effect control CPU 31a displays a first notice image corresponding to the updated number of current stage levels so that the current stage number of the updated jackpot notice effect is reflected in the image display unit GH.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S303 is negative, the CPU 31a for effect control ends the jackpot notice effect execution process without increasing the number of current stages of the jackpot notice effect. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a serves as a jackpot notice determining means for determining the contents of the effect of the jackpot notice effect. The effect control CPU 31a serves as a jackpot notice control means for executing the jackpot notice effect during the symbol variation game.

Next, the jackpot type notice effect execution process at the time of execution of the jackpot type notice effect will be described. The big hit type notice effect execution process is executed at predetermined intervals during the symbol variation game.
FIG. 21 shows a flowchart of the big hit type notice effect execution process. First, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the jackpot type notice flag is set to “1”, that is, whether or not the jackpot type notice effect is being performed (step S401). If this determination result is negative, the effect control CPU 31a then determines whether or not the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect has reached the jackpot determination stage (fourth stage) (step S402). When this determination result is negative, the CPU 31a for effect control ends the jackpot type notice effect execution process as it is.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step S402 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control sets “1” for the jackpot type notice flag and starts the jackpot type notice effect (step S403). Also, the start flag is cleared (“0” is set).

  If the determination result in step S401 is affirmative, or after the end of step S403, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a step increase condition described later is satisfied (step S404). When the determination result in step S404 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the jackpot type notice effect execution process.

  When the determination result of step S404 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control sets the total number of stages increased from the start of the big hit type notice effect to the present (hereinafter referred to as the current increased number of stages) as the big hit type notice effect setting. It is determined whether or not the upper limit of the total number of steps set in step S205 of the process has been reached (step S405). The effect control CPU 31a clears the establishment of the step increase condition in step S405. If the determination result in step S405 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the big hit type notice effect execution process without increasing the number of stages of the big hit type notice effect.

  When the determination result of step S405 is negative (when it is not the upper limit), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to increase the number of current increase stages of the jackpot type notice effect (step S406). At this time, the probability of increasing becomes lower in inverse proportion to the current increase stage number. That is, as the total number of current increase stages increases, it becomes more difficult to increase.

  If the determination result in step S406 is affirmative, the effect control CPU 31a adds “8” to the current stage number of the big hit type notice effect, and updates and stores the current stage number of the big hit type notice effect (step S407). . In addition, the effect control CPU 31a adds “8” to the current increase number of stages increased from the start of the big hit type notice effect, and updates and stores it. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a displays a second notice image corresponding to the updated number of current stages in order to reflect the current number of stages of the jackpot type notice effect after the update in the image display unit GH. Then, the effect control CPU 31a ends the jackpot type notice effect execution process.

  In the big hit type notice effect, the number of current stages is increased by a predetermined unit (in increments of 8) in order to indicate that the actual number of rounds increases by one round. The predetermined unit is “8”, which is the number of stages corresponding to one round.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S406 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a ends the big hit type notice effect execution process without increasing the current stage number of the big hit type notice effect. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a serves as a jackpot type notice determining unit that determines the contents of the effect of the jackpot type notice effect. Further, the effect control CPU 31a serves as a jackpot type notice control means for executing a jackpot type notice effect.

  Next, the step increase condition will be described. In the present embodiment, an over-winning effect for establishing the step increase condition can be executed separately from the jackpot notice effect and the jackpot type notice effect during the effect period specified by the variation pattern.

  More specifically, the effect control CPU 31a determines that the step increase condition is satisfied when the second over-winning command is input. In addition, when the stage increase condition is satisfied, the effect control CPU 31a executes the effect. Specifically, when the second over-winning command is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the second winning notification lamp 21b provided at the second start winning port 27 to emit light and causes the image display unit GH to emit a predetermined amount. Image (in this embodiment, the heart mark HM) is displayed. When the first over-winning command is input, the effect control CPU 31a does not establish the step increase condition, but causes the first winning notification lamp 21a provided at the first start winning port 25 to emit light. .

Next, each effect aspect of the jackpot notice effect and the jackpot type notice effect performed during the symbol variation game will be described.
FIG. 22 shows an effect mode in which the jackpot type notice effect is executed after the jackpot notice effect is executed during the symbol variation game in the probability variation confirmation mode. Further, in FIG. 22, description will be made assuming that a special 2 big hit d is given.

  As shown in FIG. 22A, when the symbol variation game is started, the image display unit GH displays the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect and the current stage number of the jackpot type notice effect in the lower area. Then, when the over-winning command is input to the effect control CPU 31a in the predetermined effect period, as shown in FIG. 22B, the image display unit GH causes the formation effect to be executed every time the over-winning command is input. Then, a predetermined character (heart mark HM) is displayed.

  Further, when the stage increase condition is satisfied, if the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect is not the upper limit, the current stage number of the jackpot notice effect increases with a predetermined probability. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 22C, the image display unit GH displays the first preview image corresponding to the increased number of current stages.

  If such a process is repeated and the current number of stages of the jackpot notice effect becomes the jackpot finalizing stage, then the jackpot type notice effect is started. Then, as described above, when the over-winning command is input and the step increase condition is satisfied during the effect period, the image display unit GH executes the effect effect as shown in FIG. The heart mark HM) is displayed. Further, when the stage increase condition is satisfied, if the current stage number of the jackpot type notice effect is not the upper limit, the current stage number of the jackpot type notice effect increases with a predetermined probability. At this time, the number is increased by a predetermined number of steps (eight steps). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 22E, the image display unit GH displays a second preview image corresponding to the increased number of current stages.

  Note that there may be cases where the upper limit of the jackpot notice effect or the jackpot type notice effect is not reached by the end of the symbol variation game, such as when an over-winning command is input during the effect period and the step increase condition is not satisfied. In this case, since the big hit expectation degree and the type of the big hit game are unclear, it is possible to give the player a sense of tension and a willingness to launch a game ball in order to win over.

  As described above, in the jackpot announcement effect, the degree of expectation of the jackpot is notified, and after reaching the jackpot determination stage, the jackpot type announcement effect is executed. In the jackpot type notice effect, the number of real rounds (the number of advantageous rounds) that can be expected to win a prize ball in the jackpot game is suggested. On the other hand, the round notification lamp 51 cannot (or hardly) recognize the actual number of rounds as described above. In the first place, during the symbol variation game, the number of rounds of the big hit game cannot be recognized except for the big hit type notice effect. As described above, the player can be motivated to continuously fire the game ball from the start of the big hit announcement effect.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) A case where a game ball is detected at the second start winning opening 27 when the second special figure start reserved memory number is a predetermined upper limit value, and the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative In this case, a jackpot type notice effect is executed. Then, the advantage of the big hit game (total opening time, that is, the actual number of rounds, etc.) can be predicted from the number of stages of the big hit type notice effect. For this reason, since it differs from the jackpot notice effect informing the jackpot expectation, it is possible to attract the attention of the player. Further, the advantage of the big hit game can be more noticed because it is difficult to predict from the round notification lamp 51 or the like. In addition, even in the case of an over-winning prize that does not increase the number of start-pending memories, it is an opportunity to increase the stage of jackpot type notice effect, so that the player can be motivated to fire a game ball.

  (2) The effect control CPU 31a can execute the jackpot type notice effect only when it is informed that a big hit will be made in the jackpot notice effect (when the big hit confirmation stage is reached). For this reason, even after the big hit is confirmed, the player who wants to know the type of the big hit game can be motivated to win the game ball to the second start winning opening 27. In addition, if an over win occurs after it is informed that the big hit is confirmed, the player can know the type of the big hit game, so that the player does not think that the start condition of the game has been established wastefully. There is no loss of interest. The effect control CPU 31a increases the stage of the jackpot notice effect every time an overwinning occurs. For this reason, even a player who wants to know whether or not to win the game can be motivated to win the game ball into the second start winning opening 27.

  (3) If there is a second variable game with a special 2 big hit a to a special 2 big hit i among the second variable games held, the big hit that is held at the time of over winning A jackpot type notice effect that notifies the advantage of the game is executed, and the stage of the jackpot type notice effect increases. For this reason, it is possible to give the player who wants to know the type of the jackpot game that is on hold as soon as possible to win the game ball to the second start winning opening 27. In addition, it is possible to execute the jackpot type notice effect over a plurality of symbol variation games until the symbol variation game subject to the pending jackpot determination is executed. In other words, when the big hit type notice effect is executed in the symbol variation game in which it is determined that the big hit game is put on hold, the big hit type notice effect is continued until the held big hit game is given. Thereby, the jackpot type notice effect can be enjoyed over a plurality of symbol variation games.

  (4) The number of stages of jackpot type notice effect increases for each over win. For this reason, it is not always possible to know the advantage of the big hit game with one over win, that is, it does not necessarily reach the upper limit of the total increase stage of the big hit type notice effect, You can be motivated to generate over-winnings over and over. In addition, the player's interest will not be reduced even if the over winning prizes occur many times. In addition, even if the stage increase condition is satisfied, the stage will not increase unless the lottery is won, so the player can be continuously motivated to generate an over prize even if multiple over prizes occur. it can.

  (5) The jackpot type notice effect is executed during the probability variation confirmation mode in which the probability of winning the game ball to the second start winning opening 27 is higher than usual (changed state) is given. It is configured to be possible. In a state where the winning rate is improved, an over winning can be easily generated as compared with the normal state, so that it is possible to have a willingness to generate an over winning.

  (6) The advantage of the big hit game is proportional to the number of game balls that can be won in the big winning opening 29. In other words, the current number of stages of the big hit type notice effect is proportional to the number of game balls that can be won in the big winning opening 29. For this reason, the player can recognize the number of game balls that can be awarded to the big winning opening 29 from the current number of stages of the big hit type notice effect. Therefore, attention can be paid to the number of stages of the jackpot type notice effect, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  (7) A second winning notification lamp 21b for notifying the winning when a game ball is detected at the second starting winning opening 27 when the second special figure starting reserved memory number is a predetermined upper limit. Equipped with. Thereby, the player can easily recognize that the over winning has been performed, and can pay attention to the jackpot type notice effect to be executed thereafter.

  (8) The effect control CPU 31a, when the second special figure start reserved memory number is a predetermined upper limit value, triggered by the fact that the game ball has won the second start winning opening 27, the jackpot type notice effect Is configured to run. That is, the start winning opening that becomes the trigger for executing the big hit type notice effect is determined in advance as the second start winning opening 27. For this reason, when it is desired to execute the jackpot type notice effect, it is necessary to play a game aiming at the second start winning port 27 out of the two start winning ports, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (9) After the end of the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i, the fluctuation pattern for the ultra-shortening effect is executed until the number of times (4 times) of the special figure start reservation storage number is reached. Based on P7 and P23, the symbol variation game was executed. For this reason, when there is a special 2 big hit a to a special 2 big hit i in the second variable game held during the big hit game, it can be quickly executed as if the big hit game is continuing.

  (10) The opening time of the big winning opening 29 in each round game is set according to the type of the big hit game. At the same time, the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the big hit game is changed according to the type of the big hit game. In addition, among a plurality of types of jackpot games (for example, special 2 big hits a to special 2 big hits i), compared with the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the big hit game having more round games than the big hit game. A big hit game with a long total opening time is prepared. For example, the total opening time (substantially 12 rounds) of the special 2 big hits d of 12 rounds is set longer than the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 (substantially 8 rounds) at the special round 2 big hits c of 16 rounds. Yes. In addition, compared with the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 at the special 2 big hits f of 12 rounds (substantially 6 rounds), the total opening time at the special round 2 big hits g of 8 rounds (substantially 8 rounds) is set longer. Yes. Thus, among the big hit games, there is a big hit game in which the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 is set longer than the big hit game having a large number of round games. Thereby, even if the player is notified by the round notification lamp 51 that the number of round games in the big hit game is small, the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 is longer than that of the big hit game with a large number of round games ( The game can be continued with the expectation that a jackpot game will be awarded (the number of real rounds is large). In other words, it is possible to provide pleasure for predicting which of the big hit games of a plurality of types of big hit games has been awarded.

  (11) Among a plurality of types of jackpot games (for example, special two big hits a to special two big hits i), the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the big hit game having a larger number of round games than the big hit game, A jackpot game with the same total opening time is available. For example, the total opening time (substantially 12 rounds) in the special round 2 big hit b of 16 rounds and the special round 2 big hit d of 12 rounds is the same. Also, the total opening time (substantially 8 rounds) of the special winning opening 29 in the special round 2 big hit c of 16 rounds, the special 2 big hit e of 12 rounds, and the special 2 big hit g of 8 rounds is the same. Further, the total opening time (substantially 6 rounds) of the special winning opening 29 at the special round 2 big hit f of 12 rounds and the special round 2 big hit h of 8 rounds is the same. In this way, there is a jackpot game in which the same total opening time as the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the jackpot game with a large number of rounds is set. For this reason, even if the player is notified by the round notification lamp 51 that the number of rounds is not the maximum, the player has the big prize opening 29 as much as the total opening time in the jackpot game having a larger number of rounds than the notified number of rounds. A game can be played with the expectation that it may be released. In this embodiment, the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the jackpot game is a round game (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a disadvantageous round game) in which the opening time is the shortest (in this embodiment, “40 ms”). It is calculated by the total opening time of the special winning opening 29 in a round game (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as an advantageous round game) having a longer opening time (for example, “25000 ms”).

  (12) Among the jackpot games with the largest number of round games, jackpot games for a plurality of types determined in advance are prepared according to the order of the length of the total opening time from the jackpot game with the longest total opening time. Yes. For example, in the 16-round jackpot game, the top three types of real rounds are prepared. In other words, there are 16 special rounds of 2 big hits a, 12 rounds of special 2 big hits b, 8 rounds of special 2 big hits c, and 6 rounds and 4 rounds of big hit games are available. Absent. Thus, when the number of round games is the largest, a predetermined type of jackpot game can be executed according to the order of the length of the total opening time from the longest jackpot game. For this reason, when 16 rounds are notified by the round notification lamp 51, it is expected that there is a high possibility that the player is more advantageous than the 12th round or the 8th round even if the round is not 16 rounds. Can be made.

  (13) The jackpot game with the largest number of round games includes the jackpot game with the longest total open time, and the jackpot game with the largest number of round games has the longest jackpot game. Is most easily implemented. That is, among the 16 round special 2 big hits a to the special 2 big hits c, the special 2 big hits a having 16 actual rounds are most easily selected. As a result, when a jackpot game with the largest number of round games is executed, the longest jackpot game is likely to be executed, so that the player's expectation can be enhanced.

  (14) Among a plurality of types of jackpot games, the jackpot with a long total opening time compared to the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the jackpot game having more round games than the jackpot game A jackpot game is prepared in which the total opening time is set shorter than the total opening time of the special winning means in the jackpot game where the number of round games is larger than that of the jackpot game. Therefore, a jackpot game with a total opening time longer than the total opening time in a jackpot game with a large number of round games may be granted, while a total opening time is shorter than the total opening time in a jackpot game with a large number of round games. A jackpot game may be awarded. For example, in 12 rounds of big hit games (special 2 big hits d to special 2 big hits f), there are cases where the actual number of rounds is larger than the special round 2 big hits c of 16 rounds (in the case of special 2 big hits d), There are cases where the actual number of rounds is smaller than the special round 2 big hit a of 16 rounds (in the case of the special 2 big hit d to the special 2 big hit f). Therefore, the length of the total opening time cannot be predicted from the number of rounds notified by the round notification lamp 51, and the player can be expected to enjoy.

  (15) Among the multiple types of jackpot games, the jackpot with a long total opening time compared to the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the jackpot game where the number of round games is less than the jackpot game. A jackpot game is prepared in which the total opening time is set shorter than the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the jackpot game in which the number of round games is smaller than that of the jackpot game. In other words, a jackpot game with a total opening time longer than the total opening time in a jackpot game with a small number of round games may be granted, while a jackpot with a total opening time shorter than the total opening time in a jackpot game with a small number of round games A game may be awarded. For example, in 12 rounds of big hit games (special 2 big hits d to special 2 big hits f), when there are more actual rounds than 8 rounds of special 2 big hits i (special 2 big hits d to special 2 big hits f) On the other hand, there are cases where the actual number of rounds is less than the extra 2 big hit g of 8 rounds (in the case of f). Therefore, the length of the total opening time cannot be predicted from the number of rounds notified by the round notification lamp 51, and the player can be expected to enjoy.

  (16) Among the multiple types of jackpot games, there are jackpot games that have the same total opening time as the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the jackpot game where the number of round games is less than that of the jackpot game Has been. In other words, there is a jackpot game in which the same total opening time as the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the jackpot game with a small number of rounds is set. For example, the number of actual rounds of the special 2 big hit b and the special 2 big hit d is the same. In the present embodiment, the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the big hit game is calculated by the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the advantageous round game. For this reason, even if the number of rounds is not the minimum, it seems that it may be released as much as the total opening time in the jackpot game with the actual number of rounds that is less than the reported number of rounds, giving the player a sense of tension be able to.

  (17) For each round game, jackpot games with different total opening times are prepared for each predetermined type. For example, 3 types of special 2 big hits a to special 2 big hits c are prepared for 16 rounds of big hit games, and 3 types of special 2 big hits d to special 2 big hits f are prepared for 12 rounds of big hit games. Three types of special 2 big hits g to special 2 big hits i are prepared for 8 rounds of big hit game. Thereby, even if the number of rounds notified by the round notification lamp 51 is the same, a plurality of types of big hit games with different total opening times are given. For this reason, it is possible to give pleasure to predict which will be the total opening time regardless of the number of rounds.

  (18) The jackpot game that can win a prize ball and has the smallest number of round games includes the jackpot game that has the shortest total release time among the jackpot games that can win a prize ball. In addition, among the jackpot games with the smallest number of round games, the shortest jackpot game is most easily executed. For example, among special round 2 big hits g to special 2 big hits i of 8 rounds, special 2 big hits i are most easily executed. As a result, when the number of rounds is “8”, among the big hit games that can win a prize ball, there is a high possibility that the big hit game with the shortest opening time will be executed, so that the player's tension is increased. Can do. Therefore, even if the big hit game with the minimum number of round games is executed, the interest of the game is improved.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above-described embodiment, every time an overwinning occurs, it is an execution trigger for the jackpot type notice effect (establishment of the step increase condition). As another example, when the over winning is generated a plurality of times, the big hit type notice effect may be executed (the number of stages increases). That is, it may be executed every time an over-winning command is input a plurality of times. For this reason, the player can be motivated to generate an overwinning multiple times.

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot type notice effect may be configured to be executable even during the jackpot game. At that time, the effect control CPU 31a may continue to execute the jackpot type notice effect from the symbol variation game until the number of stages of the jackpot type notice effect determined according to the total opening time of the jackpot game is reached. . In this case, the player who wants to know the advantage of the big hit game can keep the big hit type notice effect continuously during the big hit game. In addition, since it continues during the big hit game, it can be noted how much the number of stages increases during the symbol variation game. In addition, even if the number of stages does not increase so much during the symbol variation game, it may increase during the jackpot game, so the player expects that the advantage of the jackpot game is high. The game can be continued.

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot type notice effect may be configured to be executable even during the jackpot game. At that time, the presentation control CPU 31a may decrease the current number of stages of the jackpot presentation each time the game ball wins the big winning opening 29. Thus, since the current number of stages decreases, the player can easily grasp the number of remaining game balls that can be won. On the other hand, it is possible to make it difficult to recognize the upper limit of the total increase number of stages, and to make it seem as if the big hit game will continue indefinitely.

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot type notice effect may be configured to be executable even during the jackpot game. At that time, if the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening 29 exceeds the upper limit of the number of winning balls (that is, if the player has over won the big winning opening 29), the jackpot type notice effect is executed, It may be increased.

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot type notice effect may be configured to be executable even during the jackpot game. Then, in the big hit game, when there are special 2 big hits a to special 2 big hits i in the second variable game that is put on hold, the held big hit games are also put together in the big hit type notice effect. It may be notified. Specifically, in the jackpot game, a pending jackpot determination is performed to determine whether or not there is a symbol variation game that becomes a jackpot. If the determination result of the reserved big hit determination is affirmative, the type of the big hit game being held is determined based on the big hit type random number acquired together with the big hit determination random number used in the reserved big hit determination. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a prefetch command for designating the second special figure start reserved memory number and the type of jackpot game based on the determination result. Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the jackpot type notice effect based on the advantage of the jackpot game being executed and the advantage of the pending jackpot game specified by the prefetch command. What should I do? At that time, the jackpot type notice effect may be continuously executed over a plurality of jackpot games. In this way, in the big hit type notice effect, not only the presence / absence of the big hit game being executed, but also the advantage of the pending big hit game may be suggested. In this way, it is possible to know how much a state advantageous to the player continues during the big hit game by the big hit type notice effect, and the interest of the player is improved.

In the above embodiment, the probability variation state can be given, but it may not be given. Moreover, although it has comprised so that a change state can be provided, it is not necessary to provide.
In the above embodiment, when the variable state is given, it is only necessary that the probability of entering the second start winning opening 27 is improved as compared with the normal state. Therefore, if the probability of entering the second start winning opening 27 is improved as compared with the normal state, the fluctuation time of the normal game for deriving the lottery result as to whether to open / close the opening / closing blade 26 is not shortened. Also good. Similarly, if the probability of entering the second start winning opening 27 is improved as compared with the normal state, the normal hit probability of the usual game may not change from the normal probability to the high probability. Further, if the probability of entering the second start winning opening 27 is improved as compared with the normal state, the opening pattern of the opening / closing blades 26 may not be changed. Further, if the probability of entering the second start winning opening 27 is improved as compared with the normal state, the variation time of the symbol variation game may not be shortened.

  In the above embodiment, in the jackpot type notice effect, the upper limit is the number of stages proportional to the actual number of rounds of the jackpot game, but the stage proportional to the number of rounds of the jackpot game (number of rounds notified by the round notification lamp 51) The number may be the upper limit.

  In the embodiment described above, the effect control CPU 31a may determine the number of stages of the jackpot notice effect with a high probability when the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative as compared with the case of negative.

  In the above embodiment, during the symbol variation game, the jackpot notice effect and the jackpot type notice effect may be executed simultaneously. In this case, if the number of stages of the jackpot type notice effect is large, the number of stages of the jackpot notice effect can be noted. For this reason, since the big hit expectation degree and the advantage of the big hit game are notified in advance, it is possible to improve the fun of the game without getting the player bored.

  In the above-described embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a may set the number of stages equal to or greater than the jackpot determination stage as the upper limit of the number of stages of the jackpot notice effect when the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative. When the number of stages equal to or greater than the big hit determination stage is set, the number of stages may be changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is applied and the number of times the variation state is applied.

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot type notice effect may be configured to be executable even during the jackpot game. Then, the effect control CPU 31a may decrease the number of stages of the jackpot type notice effect every time the game ball wins the big winning opening 29. Thereby, the number of game balls that can be won can be easily recognized. Also, as another example, the effect control CPU 31a increases the number of stages until reaching the upper limit of the determined total increase stage number in the jackpot type notice effect to be executed during the jackpot game. The number of stages of the type notice effect may be reduced. Thereby, the number of advantageous round games can be recognized from the number of stages of the big hit type notice effect. In addition, since the number of stages decreases each time an advantageous round game is started, if the number of stages is larger than the initial value, there is still the number of advantageous round games to be executed, that is, a big hit being executed. It can be recognized that the game continues or that there is a jackpot game that is on hold. Therefore, it is possible to make the player pay more attention to the number of stages of the big hit type notice effect.

  In the above embodiment, a plurality of start winning holes are provided and the symbol variation game corresponding to each start winning port can be executed. However, only one of the symbol variation games may be executable.

  -In the said embodiment, you may make it display a decorative symbol as small as possible during probability change confirmation mode or chance mode. Thereby, it becomes difficult to understand the boundary between the big hit game and the symbol variation game, and it is possible to pay more attention to the big hit notice effect and the big hit type notice effect.

  In the above embodiment, a plurality of production modes are provided, but they may not be provided. Also, the jackpot notice effect and the jackpot type notice effect are executed only in the probability change confirmation mode, but may be executed in another effect mode.

  In the above embodiment, the number of stages is increased for every over winning prize, but the number of stages of the big hit type notice effect may be increased at a time. Although executed step by step, the advantage of the big hit game may be notified at a time.

-In the above-mentioned embodiment, it is not necessary to perform the jackpot notice effect.
In the above embodiment, the advantage of the big hit game is notified when there is a second floating game that is on hold and there is a special big hit a to special big hit i that is on hold. You do n’t have to. The jackpot type notice effect may be executed only when the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i are given in the symbol variation game to be executed.

  In the above embodiment, the big hit type notice effect may be executed in a state other than the certain change state, for example, in the normal state. At that time, it is desirable to execute the jackpot type notice effect when the first start winning opening 25 is over won.

  In the above embodiment, when the first special figure start reserved memory number is the upper limit, when the game ball is won in the first start winning opening 25, the big hit type notice effect is executed and the stage is increased. Also good.

  In the above embodiment, the first winning notification lamp 21a and the second winning notification lamp 21b may not be provided. Further, it is not necessary to execute the establishment effect (the effect of displaying the character).

  In the above embodiment, the jackpot game is prepared in which the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 is set longer than the jackpot game where the number of round games is large. However, one or both may not be prepared. . For example, although the special 2 big hit d where the total opening time of the big winning opening 29 is longer than the 16 round special 2 big hit c is prepared, it is not necessary to prepare either one or both.

  In the above embodiment, there is a jackpot game in which the total opening time is the same as the total opening time of the special winning means in the jackpot game with a large number of rounds, but it may not exist. For example, a special 2 big hit b of 16 rounds and a special 2 big hit d having the same total opening time of the big winning opening 29 are prepared, but the special 2 big hit b need not be prepared.

  -In the above embodiment, among the jackpot games with the largest number of round games (16 rounds), a plurality of types determined in advance according to the order of the length of the total opening time from the jackpot game with the longest total opening time The big hit game is prepared, but it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of types, and one type may be used. Moreover, it is not necessary to prepare according to the order of the length of the total opening time. For example, the real round number of 16 rounds of jackpot game may be 12 rounds, 6 rounds, and 4 rounds.

  In the above embodiment, the longest jackpot game (special two jackpot a) is the most easily executed among the jackpot games having the largest number of round games (special two jackpot a to special two jackpot c). This need not be done. For example, the special 2 big hit b or the special 2 big hit c may be most easily executed.

  In the above embodiment, among the big hit games (special two big hits a to special two big hits i) in which the probability change confirmation mode can be continued, the number of round games with the smallest number of round games (special two big hits g to special two big hits i) Among them, the shortest jackpot game (special two jackpot i) is most likely to be executed, but this need not be done. For example, the special 2 big hits g or the special 2 big hits h may be most easily executed.

  In the above embodiment, the number of rounds notified by the round notification lamp 51 may differ from the number of rounds that can be expected to acquire a prize ball (the number of actual rounds). Further, although a plurality of big hit games with different numbers of rounds are provided, the number of rounds may be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the determination probability of the special 2 big hit e out of the 12 round special 2 big hits d to the special 2 big hits f may be the highest probability. That is, in a big hit game (for example, a 12 round big hit game) in which the number of round games is neither the maximum (16 rounds) or the minimum (4 rounds), the total open time is the longest (substantially 12 rounds) or the shortest (substantially An intermediate (substantially 8 rounds) jackpot game that is not any of (6 rounds) may be most easily executed. In this case, it is possible to expect that an intermediate jackpot game will be executed in a jackpot game in which the number of round games is neither the maximum nor the minimum. For this reason, a sense of security can be given to the player.

  In the above embodiment, the number of stages of the jackpot type notice effect is proportional to the number of game balls that can be won in the big winning opening 29, but it may not be proportional. It may be proportional to only the actual number of rounds, or may be proportional to the number of prize balls that can be paid out. Further, it may be proportional to the total opening time of the special winning opening 29.

  In the above embodiment, after the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i have been completed, until the maximum number of special 2 special figure start reserved memory count is reached (4 times) until the symbol variation game is executed Although the symbol variation game is executed based on the variation patterns P7 and P23, it is not necessary to execute the symbol variation game. That is, the symbol variation game may be executed based on the normal variation patterns P1 to P6, P11 to P14, and P22.

  In the above embodiment, after the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i have been completed, until the maximum number of special 2 special figure start reserved memory count is reached (4 times) until the symbol variation game is executed The symbol variation game was executed based on the variation patterns P7 and P23. As an example of this, only when the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i are held until the upper limit of the number of special 2 special figure start hold memory (4 times) is executed, The symbol variation game may be executed based on the variation patterns P7 and P23 for the super shortening effect.

In the above embodiment, the jackpot notice effect is an effect of displaying a plurality of types of first notice images in stages, but it is also possible to display only the first notice image corresponding to the degree of expectation of jackpot.
In the above embodiment, the jackpot type notice effect is an effect that displays a plurality of types of second notice images in stages, but it is also possible to display only the second notice image corresponding to the type of jackpot game.

  -In the said embodiment, the advantage of jackpot game may not be the number of substantial rounds. For example, when the number of games for which the probability variation state is set is determined and there are a plurality of the number of games, the number of games may be used as the advantage of the big hit game. Similarly, when the number of games for which the variable state is set is determined and there are a plurality of the game times, the game number may be used as the advantage of the big hit game.

  -In the above embodiment, the jackpot type notice effect for informing the actual round number of the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given a plurality of times until the pending special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i are given. When the game is executed over a variable game, a specific effect may be executed in the symbol variable game in which the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i are given. It is possible to recognize that special 2 big hit a to special 2 big hit i are given by the specific effect. The specific effect is, for example, a reach effect.

  In the above embodiment, until the symbol variable game based on the off-stage effect is executed until the symbol variable game with special 2 big hit a to special 2 big hit i is executed, the special 2 big hit a held A special big hit type notice effect that informs the actual number of rounds of the special two big hit i may be executed over a plurality of symbol variation games. The jackpot effect and the reach effect are not executed until the symbol variation game that is the target of the jackpot type notice effect is executed. For this reason, the production is not delayed and it is easy to recognize which game is the target of the big hit type notice production.

-In the said embodiment, it is not necessary to perform a small hit game.
Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) When the number of reserved memories is a predetermined upper limit value and the start winning means detects a game ball, the number is determined based on the jackpot determination random number stored in relation to the number of reserved memories. A holding jackpot determination means for performing a holding jackpot determination for determining whether or not a symbol variation game that is a big hit exists in the symbol fluctuation game, and when the determination result of the holding jackpot determination is affirmative, The jackpot type advance notice determining means comprises: a stored jackpot game type determining means for determining the type of the jackpot game that is held based on the jackpot type random number acquired by the random number acquisition means together with the used jackpot determination random number, If the determination result of the held jackpot determination is affirmative, the advantage combined with the advantage of the held jackpot game determined by the held jackpot type determination means On the basis, that determine the effect content of the jackpot type announcement attraction.

(B) The jackpot type notice effect is an effect of displaying a plurality of kinds of notice images step by step in a predetermined order, and the jackpot type notice determining means is a jackpot type according to the advantage of the jackpot game. The number of stages of the notice effect is determined, and when the jackpot type notice control means executes the jackpot type notice effect, the upper limit of the number of reserved memories is set with the number of stages determined by the jackpot type notice determination means as an upper limit. each time the starting winning means detects a game ball when the value, Ru increases the number of stages.

(C) The jackpot type notice determining means can execute the jackpot type notice effect when the start winning means is provided with a state of increasing the winning rate in which the probability of winning a game ball is higher than usual. that has been configured.
