Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, and in particular, in a variable display device having a plurality of variable display units, before the variable display of identification information is finally stopped, the identification information is temporarily stored in all the variable display units. The present invention relates to a gaming machine that executes a re-variable display in which identification information is variably displayed again in all the variation display sections after being stopped.

  The pachinko gaming machine performs a jackpot lottery when the game ball launched into the game area wins the start winning opening, and is controlled to the jackpot gaming state by winning the lottery. In addition, there are two types of jackpots: normal jackpots and more favorable probability variation jackpots. When the probability variation jackpot is reached, the gaming state after the jackpot gaming state is over, the next jackpot lottery probability is higher than normal. It is controlled to the probability fluctuation state which becomes high.

  The occurrence of such a jackpot gaming state or probability fluctuation state is caused by displaying a symbol (special symbol) in a variable manner on an image display device such as a liquid crystal display called a special symbol game, and there is a predetermined symbol (generally) Are notified by deriving symbols of the same type). And in the period until the result of the special figure game is derived, in order to effectively increase the player's sense of expectation and improve the interest of the game, Various effects such as displaying images are performed in the image display device.

  Of course, no matter what effects are performed before the result of the special figure game is derived, whether or not the jackpot is generated depends on the combination of the finally derived symbol types. For example, in a pachinko gaming machine of the type that displays symbols variably in the three most common left, middle, and right fluctuation areas, and the same type of symbols is a big hit, the left and right symbols stop first Here, when the same type of symbols are arranged, the reach display mode is set, and when the reach display mode is displayed and the symbols that are finally stopped are also aligned with the same type of symbols, the jackpot display mode is set.

  In addition, in the pachinko machine, if the winning entry to the start winning opening is stored, a new special drawing game is started immediately after the completion of one special drawing game. In the special figure game, the pattern is changed continuously. Of course, in a special game based on a winning at the start winning opening, after temporarily stopping the fluctuation of all the symbols, the pseudo-changing is performed once or a plurality of times to display all the symbols again and again. There are some which display the symbols in a variable pattern called ream.

  The derivation of the reach display mode and the execution of the re-variable display by the pseudo-continuation generally increase the expectation level of jackpot. Therefore, various effects are provided to enhance the interest of derivation of the reach display mode and execution of re-variable display. Here, as an effect to increase the expectation of execution of re-variable display, as a display mode when the three symbols are temporarily stopped, there is one that temporarily stops at a predetermined chance pattern among the lost symbols. . Among them, after the temporary stop of the left and right symbols, the chance eye is displayed after performing a sliding effect that re-varies (slides) only the right or left symbol. There are cases where the percentage of chance chances derived by performing a slip effect increases with each increase (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-297176 A (paragraph 0053, etc.)

  On the other hand, as a slip effect, there is also a technique that displays the reach display mode after sliding the right or left symbol only after the left and right symbols are temporarily stopped. However, if the slip effect is displayed during the variation display by the pseudo-ream and the reach display mode is displayed after the slide, the number of re-variations of the pseudo-ream caused by the slippage of the symbols and the chance eyes being derived. The interest of the player who expects the increase will be reduced.

  The present invention provides a gaming machine capable of maintaining a player's expectation even when a change effect is executed in a re-variable display capable of executing a change effect (for example, a slip effect) that becomes a reach display mode. With the goal.

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to the present invention provides:
A plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed in a plurality of variation display portions (decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c) according to establishment of a predetermined start condition, and a first stop variation display portion (left) of the plurality of variation display portions is displayed. Change display for stopping the change display in the post stop change display part (inside the decorative design display area 9b) different from the previous stop change display part after the change display in the decorative pattern display areas 9a, 9c) on the right is stopped. A gaming machine comprising a device (variable display device 9) and controlling the gaming state to a specific gaming state (first big hit gaming state) advantageous to the player when a combination of specific identification information is stopped on the variable display device (Pachinko machine 1)
Specific determination means (CPU 56: jackpot lottery, jackpot type lottery) for determining whether or not to control the specific gaming state after the variation display is stopped before the variation display of the identification information is stopped,
Fluctuation display in which identification information is variably displayed in each variation display unit of the variation display device according to a determination result of the specific determination unit, and combination identification information based on the determination result of the specific determination unit is stopped in each variation display unit Fluctuation display execution means for executing effects (display control CPU of display control board 80: execution of variable display of decorative symbols),
The temporarily stopped plurality of identification information on the variable display portion of any of the variable display unit, after said was once varied displaying identification information is stopped again, constitutes a part of a combination of the specific identification information Reach change effect execution means (CPU for display control of the display control board 80) for executing a reach change effect (reach slip) for displaying the reach display mode;
The variation display execution means includes:
After stopping the reach display mode on the first stop change display unit, the second stop change display unit stops the identification information, and when it is determined to control to the specific gaming state, the specific Reach variation display execution means (display control CPU of the display control board 80) for displaying the reach display mode at a higher rate than when it is not determined to control to the gaming state;
Means for executing once or a plurality of re-variation display for once again variably displaying the variation display in the plurality of variation display sections before the variation display of the identification information is finally stopped, The re-variable display is performed so that the number of times the re-variable display is executed at a higher rate when the control to the specific gaming state is determined than when the control to the specific gaming state is not determined. Re-variable display execution means for executing (display control CPU of the display control board 80),
The reach change effect executing means is capable of executing the reach change effect in the variation display of the identification information for which the re-variable display is executed by the re-variable display executing means, and the re-variable display executing means performs the re-variable display. After the first re-variation display is executed when the reach display mode is displayed after the display is performed, the reach change effect is not executed, and the re-variation display executing means does not perform the re-variation display. The reach change effect is executed when the reach display mode is displayed (FIG. 7).
It is characterized by that.

  Note that the identification information that contributes to whether or not the re-variable display is a combination of special identification information to be executed can be identification information stopped at all of the plurality of variable display units. However, it is not always necessary to use identification information stopped in all of the plurality of variable display portions. For example, if special identification information that does not constitute a combination of the specific identification information is stopped on the post-stop change display unit regardless of the type of identification information stopped on the first stop change display unit, It may be a combination of the identification information. However, for example, when there are three variable display units, it may be determined whether a combination of special identification information is determined by a combination of identification information stopped by the three variable display units.

  In the gaming machine, when it is determined to control to a specific gaming state that is advantageous to the player, a combination of specific identification information is stopped on the plurality of variation display units. That is, when the combination of identification information stopped by the plurality of variation display units becomes a combination of specific identification information, the game state is controlled to the specific gaming state. The variation display of the identification information in the plurality of variation display units is not stopped all at once, but the variation display in the subsequent stop variation display unit is stopped after the variation display in the first stop variation display unit is stopped.

  When the reach display mode is not displayed by the identification information stopped on the first stop fluctuation display section, even if the identification information is stopped as it is on the subsequent stop fluctuation display section, it does not become a combination of specific identification information, but the specific identification After the combination of special identification information different from the combination of information is stopped, re-variable display is performed in which the identification information is variably displayed again in all the variable display portions. When this re-variation display is executed, the combination of identification information stopped by a plurality of variable display units can be a combination of specific identification information, and the re-variation display is not performed and the identification is not performed. This is higher than the possibility of the combination of identification information.

  In the above gaming machine, there is a case where a change effect is executed in which the identification information temporarily stopped is changed after the identification information is temporarily stopped on a predetermined variation display section. The change effects include a reach change effect for displaying a reach display mode and a re-variation change effect for stopping a combination of special identification information.

  By the way, the execution of the re-variable display by the re-variable display executing means is executed at a higher rate when the control to the specific gaming state is determined than when the control to the specific gaming state is not determined. The number of times has come to increase. For example, the possibility of being controlled to a specific gaming state is still low if only the first re-change display is performed, but the possibility of being controlled to the specific gaming state is increased when the second re-change display is executed. It will be. When the third re-change display is executed, the possibility of being controlled to the specific gaming state is further increased.

In the above game machine, together with the variable display of the identification information again varying display is executed is executable reach change effect, re-varying display of the first time when the reach display mode after re-variable display has been performed is displayed After the execution of the reach change effect , the reach change effect is not executed, and the reach change effect is executed when the reach display mode is displayed without the re-variable display . Since the player's sense of expectation can be increased as the number of re- variable displays increases, the interest of the game can be improved.

Means 1 of the present invention is the above gaming machine,
The change effect execution means, as the re-variation change effect, temporarily stops the identification information for displaying the reach display mode and then changes the temporarily stopped identification information to display the combination of the special identification information. After the first re-variation display is performed by the re-variation display executing means, the re-variation change effect after reach (slip after reach) is higher than the ratio before the first re-variation display is performed (rd <Rec <rb <tb>, td <tc <tb, wd <wc <wb (FIG. 7)), and a post-reach re-variation change effect execution means (display control CPU of the display control board 80). .

  Here, even after the reach display mode is displayed (unless the reach display mode is displayed by the reach change effect), the post-reach change effect is executed and the combination of special identification information is stopped, A re-variable display may be performed. Here, when the first re-variation display is executed, the post-reach change effect is executed at a higher rate than before the first re-variation display is performed. As a result, even after the reach display mode after the first re-variation display is displayed, the player's expectation that further re-variation display is executed can be continued, and the interest of the game is further improved. Can be made.

The change effect execution means executes the change effect to be executed according to the determination result of the notice effect after the notice effect to be executed is determined by the notice effect determination means (the step-up effect is selected) In this case, the slip effect is not determined).

  Here, when the variable display effect is executed, a predetermined notice effect different from the change effect may be executed. However, the type of the change effect to be executed is determined by the determination of the notice effect to be executed. Is performed in accordance with the determination result of the notice effect. For this reason, the execution of the notice effect and the execution of the change effect are not inconsequential.

  In addition, when it is determined that the notice effect is to be executed, it is determined that any type of notice effect is not executed, so that the notice effect and the change effect may be duplicated in the same time of the variable display effect. The production is simple and clear for the player.

  In addition, the notice effect execution means changes the step-up effect in which the effect mode changes stepwise from the first step to the Nth step (N is an integer of 2 or more) according to a predetermined system in the specific game state. Step-up effect execution means for executing the control so that the effect mode changes to a predetermined stage at a higher rate than when the control to the specific gaming state is not determined when control is determined. It may be included.

Means 3 of the present invention is the above gaming machine (including means 1 or 2).
Reach effect execution means (CPU for display control of display control board 80) for executing the reach effect in a state where the reach display mode is displayed on the first stop change display unit and the change display of the subsequent stop change display unit is continued. Further comprising

Further provided is an expansion effect execution means (a display control CPU of the display control board 80),
The development effect execution means executes the first development effect on the condition that the re-variation display is executed less than a predetermined number of times by the re-variation display execution means (FIG. 4).

  Here, when it is determined that the second reach effect is to be executed, the first development effect is not executed, so that a useless effect can be omitted and the interest of the game is improved.

Means 4 of the present invention is the above gaming machine (including any one of means 1 to 3).
Notice execution executing means (a CPU for display control of the display control board 80) for executing a predetermined notice effect (step-up effect) different from the change effect while the variable display effect is being executed;
A notice effect determining means (a display control CPU of the display control board 80) for determining a notice effect to be executed by the notice effect executing means according to whether or not to control to the specific gaming state is determined. In addition,
The notice effect execution means includes:
When the re-variable display is executed by the re-variable display executing means, the notice effect can be repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times (FIG. 5).
When the notice effect is repeated, a predetermined special effect (chance derivation) is executed, the notice effect is restarted, and the display result is displayed on the variable display device after the variable information is displayed. It includes a special notice effect executing means (a display control CPU of the display control board 80, FIG. 8) that executes a special notice effect different from the notice effect only once before being derived.

  Here, a plurality of types of effects can be executed while preventing the production from becoming bothersome and preventing a decrease in interest.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 applied to this embodiment as seen from the front. The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an outer frame (not shown) formed in a vertically long rectangular shape, and a game frame attached to the inside of the outer frame so as to be opened and closed. Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape that is provided in the game frame so as to be opened and closed. The game frame includes a front frame (not shown) that can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame, a mechanism plate (not shown) to which mechanism parts and the like are attached, and various parts (games to be described later) attached to them. And the board 6).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape. On the lower surface of the glass door frame 2 is a hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3. A chance button 16 is provided on the front surface of the hit ball supply tray 3. The chance button 16 is produced depending on whether or not the player operates a predetermined type of effect on the effect means such as the variable display device 9 and the operation satisfies a predetermined operation condition. It is a button that can change the result.

  Below the hitting ball supply tray 3, there is an extra ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for firing the hitting ball in the game area 7 by rotating. Is provided. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  Near the center of the game area 7, a variable display device 9 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided. In a circular frame surrounding the periphery of the variable display device 9, decoration lamps 25 a to 25 c serving as production means and an accessory 26 are provided. Below the variable display device 9 in the game area 7, two start winning ports 14a and 14b are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. A variable winning device 15 that facilitates winning of a game ball by being in an open state is provided at the start winning opening 14b on the lower side. When the variable winning device 15 is in the closed state, it is difficult to win a game ball to the start winning port 14b, but it is not completely impossible.

  A special variable winning device 20 is provided below the start winning ports 14a and 14b so that the large winning port 21 is opened. When the special variable prize-winning device 20 is in the closed state, the game ball cannot win at all in the big prize opening 21. The position at which the special variable winning device 20 is provided is that if the player is proceeding with the game while looking at the variable display device 9, the player is almost sure whether or not the big winning opening 21 is open. The position is unknown. On both sides of the special variable prize-winning device 20, special symbol indicators 10a and 10b composed of 7-segment LEDs are provided. In the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the special symbol displayed by the 7-segment LED is displayed in a variable manner.

  The special symbol display 10a displays a variation of the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball at the start winning port 14a, and the special symbol display 10b displays the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball at the starting winning port 14b. Display the fluctuation of. Both the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b do not display the variation of the special symbol at the same time. After the special symbol variation display is completed on the special symbol indicator 10a or 10b, both of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b are displayed. When the condition for starting the variable display is satisfied, the special symbol display is performed preferentially on the special symbol display 10b to which so-called electric chew support is performed.

  Among the display results displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the specific display result (bonus symbol) includes a first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and a second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol). The third specific display result (suddenly probable jackpot symbol) and the fourth specific display result (temporal jackpot symbol) are included. Display results other than the first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result are lost patterns.

  There are 2 ^ 7-1 = 127 combinations of the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b depending on the combination of lighting / non-lighting of the seven segments (^ represents a power and all of the seven segments are not lighted) This is excluded as a display result of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, so that 1 is subtracted). The first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result may include symbols that are relatively easy to understand for the player, such as numbers “0” to “9”. However, the combination of lighting / non-lighting of seven segments that cannot be recognized as meaningful characters is also adopted, and it is very difficult to specify the type of jackpot from the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become a thing.

  After the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to a probability variation state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the normal gaming state (or the short time state in which the probability variation state is not established).

  After the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the second big hit gaming state described later. After the end of the second jackpot gaming state, until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs, the gaming state is controlled to a short time state (a state in which the time for changing the display of special symbols and normal symbols is shortened). In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After displaying the fourth specific display result (short-time big hit symbol) on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to a first big hit gaming state to be described later. After the end of the first jackpot gaming state, the gaming state is controlled in a short-time state until the variable symbol display is performed 100 times on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, but the jackpot probability until the next jackpot occurrence is usually set It is controlled to the normal gaming state (becomes lower than the jackpot probability of the probability variation state). The occurrence of any type of jackpot in the normal gaming state is referred to as first hit.

  Further, the variable display device 9 performs variable display in which decorative symbols (for example, 10 types “0” to “9”) are scrolled vertically in three decorative symbol display areas 9 a to 9 c arranged in the horizontal direction. And stop in order of left, right, middle. In the decorative symbol display, the symbols “0” to “9” are scrolled in order in principle, but the symbols can be replaced during the variable display. In the decorative design display area 9b in the middle, it can be replaced by “☆” which does not appear in the normal scroll display, and this can be stopped, and in this case, a pseudo-relation to be described later occurs.

  Also, in the right and left decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c, a slip effect that causes the decorative symbols that have been temporarily stopped to fluctuate again while the fluctuating display of decorative symbols is not stopped in the central decorative symbol display area 9b (this implementation). In this form, there is a case where the number of fluctuating frames in the sliding effect is only one). The variable display device 9 is a variable display device for displaying the contents of the variable display performed by the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b to the player with enhanced effects by the variable symbol display. As long as the variation display of the special symbol is continued on the special symbol display 10a, 10b, even if the variation display of the decoration symbol is temporarily stopped (temporary stop), the definite display result for the big hit lottery and the big hit type lottery is obtained. It has never been shown.

  Further, in the variable display device 9, effects (various effects such as pseudo-continuous notice and reach notice, which will be described later) are displayed as the decorative symbols are variably displayed. Further, the variable display device 9 is used not only for displaying a decorative symbol in accordance with a special symbol, but also for performing a big hit round effect.

  It should be noted that the control from the first jackpot state to the probability variation state (+ short time) is indicated by both the display of the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol). There is no change in the control of the gaming state. However, when the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time are aligned with “1” or “7”. For example, it is notified that the state is controlled to the probability variation state.

  On the other hand, when the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed, the fourth specific display result (temporal bonus jackpot symbol) is displayed as the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time. Similarly to the time, it is not notified that the probability variation state is controlled by arranging with symbols other than “1” or “7”. When the fourth specific display result (the symbol for winning the time and college) is displayed, the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 is a symbol other than “1” or “7”. The fact that it is controlled to the probability variation state is notified by the probability variation promotion effect performed in the jackpot round effect.

  When the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 are displayed in the same three decorative symbols as when the special symbols are displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become the aspect which is not prepared. Note that the second jackpot game state controlled by suddenly promising jackpots is such that, as will be described later, the opening of the big prize opening 21 ends in a very short period, and the jackpot round effect is not executed until the next fluctuation display starts. Keep the symbol displayed. However, when the second jackpot gaming state ends and the next variation display is started, the probability variation state is controlled.

  Further, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a or 10b and the variable display device 9 is performing the variable symbol display, the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are turned on or the accessory 26 is displayed. There is a case where an effect by driving is performed. The effects executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are roughly divided into a notice and a notice. The notice is a notice that the contents indicated by the notice may occur, and is indicated by the notice. It is distinguished from notifications that are notifications that definitely indicate that content will occur. However, it only shows the possibility until the end of a series of productions, but if a final announcement is made at the final part of the series of productions, the final part will be announced and the part before it will be announced It will be a production with meaning.

  A game ball enters the start winning opening 14a, 14b in the lower display area of the display area of the variable display device 9, but the start condition is still satisfied, but the start condition of the special symbol indicators 10a, 10b (for example, the previous special display) The number of reserved memories stored in the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) of the main board 31 to be described later as the number of times that the starting condition is not established (end of symbol change display, end of jackpot gaming state) is established. Special symbol hold storage display sections 11a and 11b are set as display means.

  The special symbol hold storage display unit 11a includes a display unit of four icons, and every time there is an effective start win (start win when the hold storage number is less than 4 in the present embodiment) to the start winning port 14a, Each time an icon to be displayed is added to the right side of the currently displayed icon and the special symbol display on the special symbol display device 10a is started, the icon displayed on the leftmost side (started this time) (The one corresponding to the variable display) is deleted, and the other displayed icons are shifted to the left one by one and displayed. That is, the number of icons to be displayed is reduced by one. Similarly, for the special symbol hold storage display unit 11b, every time there is an effective start winning in the start winning opening 14b, the number of icons is increased by one, and the special symbol display unit 10b starts the variable symbol variable display. Reduce the icon by one.

  In the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2), the jackpot extracted by the CPU 56 (see FIG. 2) of the main board 31 when the special symbol start condition in the special symbol display device 10a is established (the hit ball wins the start winning opening 14a). Four pending storage buffers are provided for storing the extraction order of various random numbers such as random numbers for determination in an identifiable manner. The special symbol hold storage display unit 11a displays the number of hold storage buffers (holding storage number) in which various random numbers are stored among the hold storage buffers so as to be specified. In the reserved storage buffer, numerical data for which the start condition (for example, the end of the previous special symbol variation display, the end of the jackpot gaming state) is not established among the extracted random numbers is set as a predetermined upper limit number. Up to 4 are stored. A similar reserved memory buffer is provided for the special symbol reserved memory display unit 11b.

  The winning balls that have entered the starting winning ports 14a and 14b are respectively guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by starting port switches 62a and 62b (see FIG. 2). The variable winning device 15 is opened by a solenoid 71 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning device 15 is opened by the solenoid 71 in accordance with the result of the normal symbol variation display described later, thereby making it easier for the game ball to win the start winning opening 14b (easier to start winning) and for the player. This is an advantageous state.

  Further, the special variable winning device 20 is movable by a solenoid 72 (see FIG. 2) and is in an acceptable state in which a game ball can be won in the grand prize winning port 21, and in an unacceptable state in which a game ball cannot be won in the grand prize winning port 21. The large winning opening 21 is opened in the acceptable state. Also, the winning ball guided from the special variable winning device 20 to the back of the game board 6 is detected by the count switch 63 (see FIG. 2). A solenoid 73 (see FIG. 2) for switching the route in the special winning opening 21 is also provided on the back of the game board 6.

  In the first jackpot gaming state, the special variable prize winning device 20 is in a state in which the big prize opening 21 is opened until a predetermined time elapses from the opening of the big prize opening 21 or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins. And Until a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds in the first jackpot gaming state, 1 second in the second jackpot gaming state) has elapsed after the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened or closed, or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hit balls One round is required until winning the big prize opening 21. The jackpot gaming state is a gaming state in which the opening of the big winning opening 21 is repeatedly provided for a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times).

  The special variable prize-winning device 20 also opens the prize winning opening 21 only twice in a very short time (for example, about 0.2 to 0.5 seconds) in the second jackpot gaming state. The gaming state before being controlled to the probability variation state when a sudden probability change big hit is this second big hit gaming state. In the second jackpot gaming state, the opening of the grand prize winning opening 21 is performed only for a very short period. Therefore, when one hit ball is finished without winning the big winning prize opening 21, it is controlled to the probability variation state. In many cases, the player is not aware of the fact that the game is controlled to the second big hit gaming state.

  Further, on the right side of the game area 7, a normal symbol display 12 made up of a pair of left and right LEDs labeled “◯” and “×” is provided. The normal symbol display 12 can variably display a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When the gate switch 61 (see FIG. 2) detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b, a random number for determination per normal symbol is extracted and the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) mounted on the main board 31 (see FIG. 2). In the normal symbol buffer of FIG. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol that can be stored in the normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 (see FIG. 2) is four. If the normal symbol display 12 can start the variable display in which the normal symbol display state changes ("○" and "x" are alternately turned on) (the end of the previous variable display in the normal symbol display 12). Then, the normal symbol display unit 12 starts to display the variation of the normal symbol.

  Above the normal symbol display 12, a normal symbol holding storage indicator having a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of LEDs for displaying the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol stored in the normal symbol buffer. 13 is provided. When the gate switch 61 detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b and a new random number for determining the normal symbol is stored, the normal symbol storage memory display 13 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. . The number of LEDs that are lit is reduced by 1 every time the normal symbol display 12 starts to display fluctuations of normal symbols (for example, “◯” and “x”).

  In the normal symbol display 12, the left and right lamps marked with ○ and X (the symbols become visible when lit) are alternately lit, so that the fluctuation of the normal symbol is performed. For example, if the time-short state is 2.9 seconds, otherwise it is 29.2 seconds). If the left lamp with a circle is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a win. When the display result of the variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is a win, the variable winning device 15 is only for a predetermined time (for example, 2.9 seconds in the short time state, 1.4 seconds in the short time state). It becomes an open state.

  Whether or not to win the result of the normal symbol variation display is determined by the value of the random number for determination per normal symbol extracted when the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b and is detected by the gate switch 61. Is determined according to whether or not the value matches a predetermined judgment value per ordinary symbol. The hit probability is very high (for example, 35/36) in the short-time state, but is low (for example, 1/36) if it is not in the short-time state. In the short-time state, since the percentage of the variable winning device 15 being in the open state is very high in this way, the number of game balls held by the player is not reduced (or even if it is reduced, the reduction amount is very small). The game is ready to proceed.

  Winning holes 29a to 29d are provided on the left and lower sides of the gate 28a and on the lower and right sides of the gate 28b, respectively. When it is detected by the winning port switch 64 (see FIG. 2) that a game ball has won the winning ports 29a to 29d, a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. The payout of the game ball is also performed by winning the game ball to the start winning ports 14a and 14b and the big winning port 21, but is not performed even if the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b.

  In the lower part of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there is provided an out port 30 into which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. A top frame lamp 40, a left frame lamp 41, and a right frame lamp 42 provided on the front frame are provided on the outer periphery upper portion, the outer periphery left portion, and the outer periphery right portion of the game area 7.

  Although not shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 1 drives a driving motor by operating a hitting ball operating handle 5, and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a gaming ball to the gaming area 7. A ball hitting device 45 (see FIG. 2) is provided. The game balls launched from the hit ball launching device 45 enter the game area 7 through a hit ball rail mounted in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7 on the game board 6, and then descend the game area 7. . The game balls that have not won any of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, the big winning port 21, and the winning ports 29a to 29d are discharged from the out port 30.

Further, the game control microcomputer operates the hitting operation handle 5 to drive and control the hitting ball launching device 45 to transmit a launch control signal to the launch control board 37 that controls the launching of the game ball toward the game area 7. .

  Further, the game control microcomputer transmits an effect control command (effect control signal) to the display control board 80. A display control microcomputer (display control CPU (not shown), RAM (not shown), ROM (not shown), ROM (not shown), I / O port (shown)) provided on the display control board 80 by receiving the effect control command. No)) and the like) perform display control of the variable display device 9. The display control microcomputer is also supplied with power from the backup battery while the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is cut off, and the data stored in the RAM is also saved while the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is cut off. Is also retained.

  The display control CPU operates according to a program stored in the ROM, and when receiving an effect control command from the main board 31, performs display control of the variable display device 9 according to the received effect control command. Specifically, display control of the variable display device 9 is performed by a VDP (not shown) having a display control function for performing image display and a high-speed drawing function. The display control CPU reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data frequently used among images displayed on the variable display device 9, specifically, a person, a monster, a character, a figure, a symbol, or the like.

  Then, the display control CPU outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP. The VDP operates based on data input from the display control CPU. In this embodiment, a VDP (not shown) that performs display control of the variable display device 9 is mounted on the display control board 80. The VDP has a two-dimensional address space independent of the display control CPU, and a VRAM (not shown) is mapped there. The VDP generates image data to be displayed on the variable display device 9 in accordance with the character image data, and develops it in the VRAM. VRAM is a frame buffer memory for developing image data generated by VDP. Then, it is output to the variable display device 9. Note that the display control of the variable display device 9 includes a decorative symbol variation display, a jackpot round effect, a hold storage icon display, and the like.

  Further, the chance button 16 is connected to the display control board 80 via a switch circuit (not shown), and when the effect that the contents are changed by the operation of the chance button 16 is executed in the variable display device 9.

  Further, in this embodiment, the display control microcomputer provided on the display control board 80 controls the sound output of the speaker 27 by outputting the drive signal of the speaker 27 to the sound output board 70, and the lamp driver. By outputting a driving signal of the accessory, lamp / LED to the substrate 35, light emission control of the accessory, lamp / LED provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed. In other words, the display control microcomputer mounted on the display control board 80 receives the command information related to the display control of the variable display device 9, the lamp / LED lighting control, and the control of effects such as the generation of game sounds transmitted from the main board 31. Is a microcomputer for effect control that controls light emitting bodies such as lamps and LEDs provided in the variable display device 9, the speaker 27, and the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the effect control command (control signal).

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variation display on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment and the decorative symbol variation display on the variable display device 9 will be described. Whether or not the result of the special symbol variation display is a jackpot (Lottery lottery), if it is a jackpot, which type of jackpot is to be won (Lottery type lottery), and what is the variation pattern of the special symbol (Determining the variation pattern) is determined when the special symbol variation display start condition in the special symbol displays 10a and 10b is established based on various random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning.

  First, the determination of jackpot will be described. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing a jackpot determination table stored in the ROM 54. Whether or not the result of the special symbol variation display is a jackpot is determined based on the jackpot determination table of FIG. 3 (a) and the jackpot determination random number among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning (random R: 0 to 65535). And is determined based on the value of. In normal time (non-probability fluctuation), if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1000 to 1059 or 13320 to 13477, it is determined to be a jackpot, otherwise it is determined to be lost. decide. On the other hand, at the time of probability variation, if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1020-1519 or 13320-15004, it is determined to be a jackpot, and if it is any other value, it is determined to be lost.

  Next, determination of the jackpot type will be described. FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C are diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 54. Here, FIG. 3 (b) is a jackpot type determination table for determining the jackpot type when the special symbol display 10b performs variable symbol display, and FIG. 3 (c) is a special symbol display. 12 is a jackpot type determination table for determining a jackpot type when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the device 10a.

  When the special symbol display 10b is used to display the variation of the special symbol, if it is determined that the result of the variation display of the special symbol based on the random number for jackpot determination and the table for jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot, the start prize is further awarded. If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted from time to time is 0, 3, 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1, it is determined as a probabilistic promotion jackpot If it is 9, it is determined that it is suddenly a promising jackpot, and if it is 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined that it is a jackpot.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a, if it is determined that the result of the special symbol variation display is based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination table, If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning is 3, 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1, it is determined as a probable promotion jackpot If it is 0 or 9, it is suddenly determined to be a promiscuous jackpot, and if 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined to be a short-term jackpot.

  By the way, in the probability variation state, a big hit is made with a probability of 1/30. However, until the new jackpot is generated, the special symbol variation display is executed without restriction on the number of times of execution. In the short time state, the percentage that the variable winning device 15 is in the open state is very high, and the start winning opening 14b for causing the special symbol display 10b to be given priority over the special symbol display 10a to display the variation of the special symbol. Reservation memory due to winning a prize is rarely interrupted. Further, since the time during which the first jackpot gaming state is controlled is very long, there is almost no exception, and the holding storage by winning of the start winning opening 14a until the first jackpot gaming state is ended is also the starting winning opening 14b. All of the hold memories due to winning will be full.

  When the special symbol display 10a displays the variation of the special symbol, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is 2/5 (= 4/10) in the case of the jackpot, whereas the special symbol indicator 10a is special. When the special symbol variation display is performed on the symbol display 10b, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is ½ (= 5/10) of the jackpot. In other words, once a probability variation jackpot or a probabilistic promotion jackpot occurs, after the first jackpot gaming state based on it ends, the player can acquire more gaming balls through the first jackpot gaming state. As a result, the ratio of the probability fluctuation state is high.

  Next, determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a special symbol variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 54. When the start condition is satisfied, the special symbol variation pattern is determined according to the result of the special symbol variation display (whether or not the jackpot is set, or the jackpot type when the jackpot is set). However, the determination of the variation pattern for the probable promotion jackpot and the hourly jackpot is the same. The type of variation pattern determined for the probability variation jackpot is the same, but the selection ratio is different from the probability variation promotion jackpot and the short-term jackpot.

  When determining a variation pattern, first, the type of variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning. In the case of a loss, first, the first type (no reach, with reach) is determined based on the value of the first variation pattern determination random number, and the second type (no reach, with reach) is determined based on the second variation pattern determination random number. No pseudo-ream, 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, 3 pseudo-reams) are determined. Here, it can be seen that there are pseudo-reams that are not reachable. Further, a variation pattern (normal variation 1 or normal variation 2 for the type without reach, normal, super A, super B, super development for the type with reach) is determined based on the random number for variation pattern determination. It becomes a thing.

  On the other hand, in the case of a probability variation jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, the display result of a decorative pattern described later is always a jackpot display mode, and the reach display mode (for example, the left decorative pattern that stops first) The second decorative pattern is the same as the right decorative symbol that stops second, and the decorative symbol display area 9b is still displayed in a variable manner). Is ignored and the type (no pseudo-series, 1 pseudo-series, 2 pseudo-series, 3 pseudo-series, 4 pseudo-series) is determined based on the second random number for determining the variation pattern. The quasi-continuous 4 times is a type that can be selected only in the case of a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, and a time bonus jackpot. Further, the variation pattern (per normal, per super A, per super B, per super development) is determined based on the value of the random number for variation pattern determination.

  When there is a loss and reach, and when the probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or short-term jackpot, the variation pattern type is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, or pseudo-run Four times (only in the case of probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot) are determined, but the variation patterns distributed in each type are variation patterns in which the reach display mode appears.

  However, the normal is a variation pattern that is not sorted when a type of pseudo-quadruple four times is selected with a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. In addition, for example, in the case of losing and reaching, the type of reach that can be distributed in any type of no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, and two pseudo-reams is the same except for super development, The distribution ratio of the variation pattern is different for each type. In the case of no quasi-continuation and three quasi-continuations, there are cases where they are assigned to normal, super A, and super B, but they are not assigned to super development.

  Similarly, except for super development, it is the same as the type of reach that can be assigned to any type of probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot without pseudo-ream, one-time pseudo-ream, or two-time pseudo-ream However, the distribution ratio of the variation pattern differs for each type. When the number of pseudo-reams is the same, the fluctuation pattern is distributed so that the expectation of jackpot is higher in Super A than in Normal, and in Super B more than Super A. . In addition, the change pattern of the super development is selected only for one type of pseudo-ream or two times of pseudo-ream if the reach display mode is used for the variation of decorative symbols, regardless of whether it is a big hit or not. Will be.

  Further, in the case of a big hit, since the reach display mode does not appear in the variation display of the decorative pattern, which will be described later, and it does not become a pseudo-ream, both the first variation pattern determination random number and the second variation pattern determination random number Ignoring it, it is always determined as a type without pseudo-ream, and the types of pseudo-ream 1 time, pseudo-ream 2 times, pseudo-ream 3 times, and pseudo-ream 4 times are not selected. Further, the fluctuation pattern (sudden probability variation 1 and sudden probability variation 2) is determined based on the random number for variation pattern determination.

  Next, a variation display mode of decorative symbols in each variation pattern, and an effect executed in accordance with this will be briefly described. First, in the fluctuation pattern of normal fluctuation, the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern are stopped without reaching the reach display mode, and then the central decorative pattern is also stopped in the display mode of losing and determined. . The difference between the normal fluctuation 1 and the normal fluctuation 2 is only the time until the fluctuation display ends. The same applies to the fluctuation pattern of sudden probability change.

  In the normal and super A variation patterns, which are variation patterns in which the reach display mode appears, reach display effects (decorative pattern variation display mode and / or decoration pattern) defined for each type of variation pattern after the reach display mode appears. A production performed in accordance with this is performed. For example, in the normal variation pattern, the left decorative design and the right decorative design are stopped in the reach display mode, and then the normal reach display effect (in the case of normal, it is possible to simply display the decorative design in the middle. ), The decorative pattern in the middle stops and is confirmed. In addition, in the variation pattern of Super A, the left decoration pattern and the right decoration pattern stop in the reach display mode in the variation time longer than the normal variation pattern, and then the probability variation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot than the normal, Or, after giving a reach display effect that gives the player the expectation of winning a short-term jackpot (for example, letting a character that does not appear in normal appearance, etc.), the decorative pattern inside is stopped and confirmed It is a fluctuation pattern.

  On the other hand, in the variation pattern of Super B, the reach display effect is executed by the same variation as the normal variation pattern, and after reaching the reach display mode, the decorative pattern in the middle does not stop and the decorative pattern on the left and the right again The decorative pattern of (1) starts to change (however, the left and right decorative patterns may not be changed), and the reach display effect is further executed with the same variation time as the variation time of the variation pattern of Super A. . Note that the reach display effect may be different from that of Super A or may be the same.

  Also, in the variation pattern of super development, first, the reach display effect is executed by the variation similar to the normal variation pattern in the variation (revariation) immediately before the last revariation, and all the decorative patterns are performed. Is temporarily stopped. Then, the reach display effect is executed for the last re-change in the same change time as the change time of the change pattern of Super A. In the last re-variation, the reach display effect may be different from that of Super A or the same.

  Further, the pseudo-ream means that the decorative symbol is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 in accordance with the variation display of the special symbol, but for the variation display of one special symbol (that is, one start winning), After temporarily changing the decorative symbol display in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c (the updating of the symbol is stopped but not confirmed, and may be swayed). This refers to a decorative display variation display pattern in which re-variable display for variably displaying all decorative designs is performed once or a plurality of times.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, when the re-variable display in the pseudo-ream is executed, a part of the symbol array that is variably displayed in the decorative symbol display area 9b is replaced with “☆”. (Or “☆” is inserted into the array), and the symbol “☆” is temporarily stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9b, and the decorative symbols are displayed in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. Decorative symbols that are displayed again or displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c (for example, decorative symbols on the left, middle, and right are "7", "8", and "9" in that order). After the temporary stop, the decorative symbols may be variably displayed again in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c.

  In the pseudo-ream, re-variable display is performed only once (a total of two fluctuating displays are performed before and after the re-variable display). There are four pseudo-continuations that are performed three times and four times, and any of them is determined as a more specific variation pattern when the type of pseudo-continuity is determined. The quasi-continuous four times is a variation pattern that can be selected only when it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot. That is, it can be clearly seen that at the stage when the fifth fluctuation display is started, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined.

  In addition, the reach display mode appears in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern excluding the super development pattern (normal, super A, and super B patterns). It is only a change display from the last temporary stop of the display to the last stop. For example, in the normal (two frames after, one frame before, one frame after, hit) pattern of the two pseudo-continuations, the variable display from the start of the variable display to the first temporary stop, and the first temporary stop The reach display mode does not appear in the variable display from the first to the second temporary stop. The reach display mode appears in the variable display from the second temporary stop to the final stop, and normal reach is executed as the reach display effect.

  In addition, the time of the special symbol (and decorative symbol) variation display is determined according to the type of variation display and the variation pattern type (normal variation 1, normal variation 2, normal, super A, super B, super development). It will be a thing. The larger the number of pseudo-reams, the longer the display time of the variation. For example, a normal variation 1 with three pseudo-reams has a variation time approximately three times that of a normal variation 1 without a pseudo-ream. In addition, the fluctuation time in the reach fluctuation (the last fluctuation display in the case of pseudo-ream) is longer in Super A than in Normal, and Super B is longer than Super A.

  Next, the determination of the variation pattern type will be described in detail. When it is determined that the result of the special symbol variation display is lost, the probability of selecting “no reach” and “reach” is P1 and P2, respectively (P1 + P2 = 1, P1 >> P2). Without reach, the probabilities that the types of pseudo-reamless, pseudo-ream once, pseudo-ream 2 times, and pseudo-ream 3 times are selected are A0, A1, A2, and A3 (A0 + A1 + A2 + A3 = 1). Here, the probability A0 for selecting “no pseudo-ream” is overwhelmingly high, and the greater the number of pseudo-reams, the smaller the number of times selected.

  In the presence of reach, the probability of selecting the types of no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, and three pseudo-reams is B0, B1, B2, and B3 (B0 + B1 + B2 + B3 = 1). Again, the probability B0 for selecting the absence of pseudo-continuations is higher than the probabilities B1, B2, and B3 for selecting the presence of pseudo-continuations, but there is no overwhelming difference as in the case of no reach.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the result of the variation display of the special symbol is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, and a short-term jackpot, there is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, The probabilities of selecting the four types of pseudo-continuous are C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4 (C0 + C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 = 1). Here, the probability C0 of selecting no pseudo-continuity is lower than the probabilities A0 and B0 of selecting no pseudo-continuity in the case of a loss, and is lower than the selection probabilities C1, C2, C3, and C4 with pseudo-continuity. May be.

  Here, when it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot, the reach display mode appears. On the other hand, the reach display mode does not appear when the probability big hit is determined, and the reach display mode appears only with the probability of P2 when the loss is determined. Accordingly, when the degree of expectation that the reach display mode appears in each variation pattern increases, the degree of expectation that becomes a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation promotion jackpot, and a time bonus jackpot also increases.

  Here, there is no difference in the type and type of the variation pattern between the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 10a and the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 10b, and the results of the variation display are the same. In comparison, there is no difference in the selection probability of the variation pattern type. However, when the special symbol display 10a displays the variation of the special symbol, the probability of the probable change promotion jackpot is higher and the probability of the sudden probability change jackpot is lower than that of the special symbol display 10b. In consideration of this, the type of variation pattern and the selection of the type differ depending on which of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  For example, even if the special symbol display is performed on any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the loss ratio does not change, so there is no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, and three pseudo-reams. The ratio of selection of types (including those with no reach and those with reach) remains the same. On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10a performs variable display of the special symbol, since the probability of sudden probability variation is lower than that when the special symbol display 10b performs variable display, there is no pseudo-continuation. The probability of being selected is relatively low.

  More specifically, when the jackpot probability is X (X is 1/300 or 1/30), there is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, 4 pseudo-runs The selection probability of (1−X) × P1 × A0 + (1−X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0 + 0.1 × X when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a. (1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1, (1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2, (1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3, X * 0.9 * C4 (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30. ).

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10b is used to display the variation of the special symbol, (1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0 + 0.2 × X, (1- X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1, (1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2, (1- X) * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3, X * 0.8 * C4 (this relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  Here, {(1-X) * P1 * A0 + (1-X) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.9 * C0 + 0.1 * X} / {(1-X) * P1 * A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.8 * C0 + 0.2 * X <{(1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1} / {(1-X) * P1 * A1 ++ (1-X) * P2 * B1X * 0.8 * C1 <{(1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2} / {(1- X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2 <{(1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3 / {( 1−X) × P1 × A3 + (1−X) × P2 × B3 + X × 0.8 × C3,} <{X × 0.9 × C4} / {X × 0.8 × C4} = 1 (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30. ). Therefore, it is understood that the number of times that the re-variation display is performed is more likely to be performed when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a than when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10b.

  In addition, the probability that four pseudo-reams will be selected in the case of a loss (with reach and no reach) is A4 (= 0) and B4 (= 0), and the probability that there will be no pseudo-ream in the case of a sudden hit. In the case of C0 (= 1), when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a, X × 0.9 × C0 / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0 + 0.1 × C0) <X × 0.9 × C1 / ((1-X) × P1 × A1 + (1-X) × P2 × B1 + X × 0.9 × C1) < X * 0.9 * C2 / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) <X * 0.9 * C3 / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3) <X * 0.9 * C4 / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0. 9 x C4 ) = 1 (this relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  Even when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10b, X × 0.8 × C0 / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0 + 0.1 × C0) <X × 0.8 × C1 / ((1-X) × P1 × A1 + (1-X) × P2 × B1 + X × 0.8 × C1) <X × 0.8 × C2 / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) <X * 0.8 * C3 / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) XP2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3) <X * 0.8 * C4 / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30). Therefore, it can be seen that when the special symbol display is performed on any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the probability variation big hit, the probable change promotion big hit, or the short time big hit tends to increase as the number of re-variable displays increases.

  Further, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display 10a, ((1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0) / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.9 * C0 + 0.1 * C0) <((1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1) / ((1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1) <((1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) <((1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3) / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3 ) <((1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.9 * C4) / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.9 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is such that X is 1 300 even 1/30, even the same).

  Even when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10b, ((1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0) / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.8 * C0 + 0.2 * C0) <((1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1) / ((1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1) <((1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) <((1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3) / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3 ) <((1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is such that X is 1/300 Even even 1/30 the same). Therefore, it can be seen that the reach display mode is more likely to appear as the number of re-variable displays increases.

  In the case of a loss, the selection probability of each variation pattern of normal, super A, and super B is E0, E1, and E2 when the loss reach is selected and no pseudo connection is selected. When the type of the number of times is selected once or twice, it is assumed that they are F0, F1, F2, and F3, respectively. On the other hand, in the case of jackpot, when the selected type is no pseudo-ream, the selection probability of the fluctuation pattern of normal, super A, and super B is either probability fluctuation jackpot, probability variation jackpot or short-term jackpot Are H0, H1, and H2, respectively. In addition, when the selected type is one or two pseudo-continuous times, the selection probability of the variation pattern of normal, super A, super B, and super development is either the probability variation big hit, the probability variation big hit or the short-term big hit Even if it exists, it shall be I0, I1, I2, and I3, respectively.

  Here, among these selection probabilities, E0 / (E0 + E1 + E2)> H0 / (H0 + H1 + H2), F0 / (F0 + F1 + F2 + F3)> I0 / (I0 + I1 + I2 + I3), E2 / (E0 + E1 + E2) <H2 / (H0 + F1 + 2) (F0 + F1 + F2 + F3) <I2 / (I0 + I1 + I2 + I3), F3 / (F0 + F1 + F2 + F3) <I3 / (I0 + I1 + I2 + I3). Therefore, when the reach display mode appears, when the final result is a loss, the normal reach display effect is likely to be executed, and when the final result is a probability variation jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot When there is no quasi-continuous, the super B reach display effect is easily executed, and when the quasi-continuous number is one or two, the super B and super development reach display effects are easily executed. In other words, when the super-B or super development reach display effect is executed, the expected degree of probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot is higher than the expectation level when the normal reach display effect is executed. It is expensive. The relationship between the selection probabilities is not particularly shown, but when the super A reach display effect is executed, the expected probability of winning the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is when the normal reach display effect is executed. It is higher than the expected level of the super B, or lower than the expected level when the reach display effect of Super B or Super Development is executed.

  When the variation pattern of the special symbol is determined, a command indicating the determined variation pattern is transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31 to the display control substrate 80, whereby the variable display device 9 has a decorative symbol display area 9 a to 9. In 9c, the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner. Also, a command indicating whether or not to win a jackpot, a command indicating a jackpot type, and a command indicating a gaming state are transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 to the display control board 80 together with the command indicating the variation pattern, and thereby the variable display device 9. Then, at the timing when the special symbol variation display result is displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the decorative symbol variation display result is derived and displayed. The background color displayed on the variable display device 9 varies depending on the gaming state. That is, when the gaming state is a normal gaming state, a blue background is displayed, and when the gaming state is a probability variation state, a red background is displayed.

  The variation display mode of the decorative symbol in the variable display device 9 differs depending on the variation pattern of the special symbol determined based on the special symbol variation pattern determination table of FIG. That is, the special symbol variation pattern determination table and the variation pattern determination random number are used for determining the variation pattern of the decorative symbol in the variable display device 9 rather than determining the variation pattern of the special symbol in the special symbol displays 10a and 10b. The one used is closer to the actual situation. There is a difference in the special symbol variation display between the normal variation 1 without pseudo-continuous and the sudden probability variation 1, and the normal variation 2 without sudden sequence and the sudden probability variation 2, but there is no difference in the decorative symbol variation display.

  The decorative symbol variation display is executed with a variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol determined in the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31. When it is other than the variation, various effects different from the variation display of the decorative design itself may be performed in the variation display process. As such an effect, a reach notice effect for notifying that the reach display mode appears in the variation display of decorative symbols, and the variation pattern are pseudo-continuous (one pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, three pseudo-continuous, or pseudo-continuous). (4 times) a slip effect that announces the execution of re-variable display, a cut-in effect that predicts the number of re-variable display continuations in the pseudo-ream, and a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot There is a special notice effect to give notice.

  In addition, in the reach notice effect, the slip effect, the cut-in effect, or the special notice effect, the reach display mode appears according to the difference in the effect to be executed, the re-variable display in the pseudo-continuation continues, or This will give the player a sense of expectation that it will be a probabilistic variation jackpot, a probable promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, but when any production is performed, the reach notice production, slip production, cut-in production, or special Apart from the expectation given to the player by the notice effect, the player is given an expectation according to which of the special symbol displays 10a, 10b is used to variably display the special symbol.

  First, the reach notice effect will be described. The reach notice effect is a notice indicating that there is a possibility that a reach display mode may appear in the variation display of decorative symbols. In the variation pattern in which the reach display mode appears, the reach notice effect is performed while the variation display before the reach display mode appears, and in the variation pattern in which the reach display mode does not appear, the reach display mode appears. The reach notice effect is performed while the change display is performed while the possibility remains. In the quasi-continuous variation pattern, a reach notice effect may be performed between each variation display from the temporary start of the decorative symbol to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the temporary stop, and from the temporary stop to the final stop.

  Although the reach notice effect is a notice indicating the possibility that the reach display mode appears, if the reach display mode appears, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot may be reached. If the display mode does not appear, the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot and the hourly jackpot will not be reached. Accordingly, it can be said that the reach notice effect is an effect indicating the possibility of a probability variation jackpot, a probability change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot.

  There are various types of effects in the reach notice effect executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment. Among them, any one of the first to third stages is included. A step-up effect in which the effect changes step by step is included. For step-up effects, only the first stage is executed and finished (step-up effect 1), the first stage and the second stage are executed in sequence (step-up effect 2), and the first stage is finished. There is one (step-up effect 3) that is executed by sequentially executing from the stage to the third stage. Step-up effect 3 is an effect that is executed only when the reach display mode appears in the variable display. In addition, there are production A and production B as reach notice productions other than the step-up production.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a notice effect determination table for determining a reach notice effect to be executed in each change display in a pseudo-continuous change pattern. The figure shows the decorative symbols for the Lth (L = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times (K = 1, 2, 3, 4) before the final stop of the decorative symbols. The selection probabilities of production A, production B, step-up production 1, step-up production 2, and step-up production 3 when the reach display mode appears and when the reach display mode does not appear are shown.

  It should be noted that effect A and effect B are executed while the preceding pseudo-notice is being executed. The step-up effect is executed while the decorative symbol is variably displayed. Even when the step-up effect 3 is selected, the third stage can be executed before the decorative symbol stops (temporarily). (Step-up effect 1 and step-up effect 2 end earlier).

  As can be seen from FIG. 5, the ratio for selecting each of the production A, the production B, the step-up production 1, the step-up production 2, and the step-up production 3 as the reach notice production is the fluctuation display of the Lth of the pseudo-continuous K times. Depending on the difference between K and L, and whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol finally stops.

  The more detailed case will be described. The probability that the re-change display is performed after the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the re-change display is performed when the effect A is executed. A selection probability is defined. For example, when comparing the second variation display of the first pseudo-series and the second variation display of the second pseudo-series, the reach display mode is not satisfied, bb1 / (ba1 + bb1) <db1 / (da1 + db1). Furthermore, the probability that the effect B is selected is higher in the second of the two pseudo-continuations in which the variable display is executed.

  In addition, the selection probability of the reach announcement effect is determined so that the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect A is executed. For example, ba2 / (ba1 + ba2) <bb2 / (bb1 + bb2) in the second variation display of the first pseudo-continuation. As the number of variable displays increases, probability fluctuation jackpots, probable change promotion jackpots, or short-time jackpots tend to be more likely, and unless it is a reach display mode, probability fluctuation jackpots, probable change promotion jackpots, or short-time jackpots will not be achieved. It can be said that the probability that the jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot will be higher than the probability that the stage A is executed and the probability change jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot.

  In addition, the selection probability of the step-up effect 3 is 0 except when the reach display mode appears in the (K + 1) th variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times. In addition, the selection probabilities of step-up effects 1 are all 0 in the (K + 1) th variation display of pseudo-continuous regardless of whether or not the reach display mode appears. In other words, the reach display mode does not appear in the variable display in which the step-up effect has ended only in the first stage (however, the reach display mode may appear in the later variable display). Then, after the decorative design temporarily stops, the variable display is executed again.

  Next, the slip effect will be described. The slip effect (excluding reach slip, which will be described later) is the same in this paragraph). By changing the temporarily stopped decorative symbols in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c, the variation pattern is simulated. This is an effect of definitely informing that the re-variable display is executed in (pseudo sequence once, pseudo sequence 2 times, pseudo sequence 3 times, or pseudo sequence 4 times). That is, after the slip effect is executed, all the symbols in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c in the pseudo-ream are always temporarily stopped and then re-variable display is executed. Therefore, after the slip effect, there is a chance that the decorative symbols are displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c (for example, the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are “7”, “8”, and “9” in that order). It is temporarily stopped (when the slip effect is a post-reach slip, a pseudo-continuous slip, or a post-stop stop slip, which will be described later). As a chance, the symbol “☆” is temporarily stopped in the middle decorative symbol display area 9b (for example, the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are “7”, “☆”, “9” in that order. )

  On the other hand, even in the same slip effect, reach slip, which will be described in detail later, determines that the change display becomes reach by changing the temporarily stopped decorative symbols in the left and right decorative symbol display areas 9a and 9c again. Yes, the notification target is different from the slip effect that notifies the definite change that the above-described variation pattern causes the re-variable display to be executed in the pseudo-continuous.

  FIG. 6 shows the aspect of the slip effect that is executed. As the slip effect, any one of reach slip, post-reach slip, pseudo-slip, and temporary stop slip is executed. Among them, reach slip, post-reach slip, and pseudo-slip are displayed in the decorative design display area 9b. The slip effect is executed while the change display of the symbol is not stopped. For the slip after the temporary stop, the slip effect is executed after the change display of the decorative symbol is stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9b. is there.

  The reach bell shown in FIG. 6A temporarily stops the decorative symbol immediately before the decorative symbol stopped in the left decorative symbol display area 9a in the right decorative symbol display region 9c (for example, “7” on the left). If “6” is stopped, “6” is stopped to the right). Subsequently, after the state is maintained for a certain period, the decorative design is slowly started to move downward from the top in the decorative design display area 9c on the right. If it moves to the same symbol as the left as it is, the reach display mode will be displayed.

  In the post-reach slip shown in FIG. 6B, the same decorative design as that stopped in the left decorative symbol display area 9a is temporarily stopped in the right decorative symbol display region 9c, and the reach display mode is displayed (for example, If “7” is stopped on the left, “7” is stopped on the right). Subsequently, after the state is maintained for a certain period, the decorative design is slowly started to move downward from the top in the decorative design display area 9c on the right. After the decorative symbols for which the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c become chances are temporarily stopped as they are, the decorative symbols are variably displayed again in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c.

  6 (c) temporarily stops the decorative symbol immediately before the decorative symbol stopped in the left decorative symbol display area 9a in the right decorative symbol display region 9c (for example, “ If “7” is stopped, “6” is stopped to the right). Subsequently, after the state is maintained for a certain period, the decorative design is slowly started to move downward from the top in the decorative design display area 9c on the right. After the decorative symbols for which the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c become chances are temporarily stopped as they are, the decorative symbols are variably displayed again in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c.

  In the slip after temporary stop shown in FIG. 6D, the same decorative design is temporarily stopped in the left decorative design display area 9a and the right decorative design display region 9c, and the decorative design one after the decorative design is displayed. It temporarily stops in the decorative design display area 9b (for example, when “7” is stopped on the left, “7” is stopped on the right). Subsequently, after the state is maintained for a certain period, the decorative design is slowly started to move downward from the top in the decorative design display area 9c on the right. After the decorative symbols for which the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c become chances are temporarily stopped as they are, the decorative symbols are variably displayed again in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c.

  Next, the determination of the slip effect will be described. As described above, after the execution of the reach notice effect is determined, the presence / absence of the reach effect and the type of the slip effect to be executed are determined as described above. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a slip effect determination table for determining a slip effect that is executed before the decorative symbols are re-varied in the pseudo-continuous. However, when the step-up effects 1 to 3 are selected as the reach notice effect, the slip effect is not determined in the change (re-change) in which the step-up effects 1 to 3 are executed.

  FIG. 7 shows reach slip, post reach slip, and pseudo continuous slip for each of the L-th (L = 1, 2, 3, 4) variation display of the pseudo continuous K times (K = 1, 2, 3, 4). Each selection probability of sliding after temporary stop is shown. As can be seen from FIG. 7, the ratio of selecting each of reach slip, post reach reach, pseudo continuous slip, and temporary stop slip as the slip effect is the difference between K and L in the Lth variation display of the pseudo continuous K times. Depending on it.

  More specifically, the reach slip can be selected only in the first variation display in the case of one pseudo-ream or no pseudo-ream. In addition, regarding the second fluctuation display in the case of the pseudo continuous time 2, the pseudo continuous time 3 times, and the pseudo continuous time 4 times, the relationship between the ratios for selecting the post-reach slip, the pseudo continuous slip, and the temporary stop slip is rb> rc> rd, tb> tc> td, and wb> wc> wd. That is, in the second fluctuation display when the pseudo-continuous operation is performed twice or more, the slip after reach is most easily selected, and the slip after temporary stop is hardly selected.

  On the other hand, in the variation display after the third time in the case of three pseudo-continuations and four pseudo-continuations, the relationship of the ratios for selecting the post-reach slip, pseudo-continuous slip, and temporary stop slip is ud> ub> uc, xd> xb> xc, yd> yb> yc. In other words, in the third and subsequent fluctuation displays when the pseudo continuous operation is performed three times or more, the sliding after the temporary stop is most easily selected, and the pseudo continuous sliding is not easily selected.

  As described above, when the reach notice effect is determined and subsequently the slip effect is determined, the execution of the cut-in effect and the special notice effect is subsequently determined. Regarding cut-in effects and special notice effects, their modes will be described, and the probability of executing them will be described with reference to FIG. First, the cut-in effect will be described. The cut-in effect is an effect in which a character is made to appear on the variable display device 9 when the player operates the chance button 16 during a predetermined operation period while the fluctuation (re-variation) is displayed in the pseudo-ream. In accordance with the type and the background color of the variable display device 9 described above, the number of re-variable displays executed after the variable display is notified in advance.

  In the cut-in effect, when the pseudo-ream is executed, the next display of the change (re-change) display in which the character appears depends on the combination of the background color of the variable display device 9 and the type of character appearing there. This is an effect of notifying whether it is executed until the change display or until the next next change display. FIG. 8A shows the number of continuations of the re-variable display to be notified in advance from the variable display in which the character appears according to the combination of the background color and the character type.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the character A appears in the blue background (normal state) or the character B appears in the red background (probability variation state), the number of continuations of the re-variable display to be notified is two times. When the character B appears on the blue background (normal state) or the character A appears on the red background (probability change state), the number of continuations of the re-variable display to be notified is one.

  In addition, if the execution of the slip effect is determined after the above-described reach notice effect is determined, the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in the change (revariation) display in which the slip effect is executed. It will never be done. In addition, since the cut-in effect can be notified in advance of two re-variable displays after the variable display, even in the case of three pseudo-reams and four pseudo-reams, the cut-in effect is limited to the third variable display. The execution of is not determined. Further, it can be executed only once in one change. For example, in the case where the pseudo-continuous variation pattern is executed four times in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern, if it is executed in the first variation display, 2 It will not be executed after the first time.

  Next, the special notice effect will be described. In the special notice effect, when the decorative symbols displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c are in the reach display mode, the actor 26 operates during the variable display, so that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time It is a notice showing the possibility of a big hit. Note that the timing at which the special notice effect is executed is the timing at which the reach display mode is displayed (the last re-variable display in the pseudo-series).

  Next, the probability that the cut-in effect and the special notice effect will be executed will be described. FIG. 8B is a diagram showing the probability of executing the cut-in effect, and FIG. 8C is a diagram showing the probability of executing the special notice effect. FIG. 8B shows the probability that the cut-in effect will be executed for each of the L-th (L = 1, 2, 3) variable displays of the pseudo-continuous K times (K = 1, 2, 3). The execution of the cut-in effect is determined so as to satisfy the following execution probability relationship. Note that the execution probabilities of the three pseudo-continuations and the four pseudo-continuations are the same in the number of times of each variable display, and therefore the execution probabilities in the case of the four pseudo-continuations are not particularly illustrated.

  First, in the case where the pseudo-run is not executed, the change is executed only once, so that the cut-in effect is difficult to execute, and the magnitude relationship between the execution probabilities Aa, Ab, Ba, Bb shown in the figure is shown. No, but very few. This is the same for the last re-variation when one pseudo-continuation is executed and the last re-change when two pseudo-continuations are executed. In addition, even in the first fluctuation in the case where three pseudo-continuations are executed, the execution probability of the cut-in effect is extremely small.

  In addition, the first fluctuation when the first pseudo-continuation is executed, the second fluctuation when the second pseudo-continuation is executed, and the third fluctuation when the third pseudo-execution is executed are the fluctuations. After that, the last re-variation is to be performed. In these cases, a cut-in effect is performed in which the character B appears on the blue background (normal state) or the character A appears on the red background (probably changed state), which notifies that the re-variable display will be continued once. It has become easier. Therefore, the relationship between the execution probabilities is Ac <Bc, Ad> Bd for the first variation when the first pseudo-run is executed, and Ai for the second change when the second pseudo-run is executed. <Bi, Aj> Bj, and Aq <Bq, Ar> Br for the third variation when the pseudo-continuous three times are executed.

  In addition, in the first fluctuation when the pseudo-continuous execution is executed twice and the second fluctuation when the pseudo-continuous execution is executed three times, the re-variation display continues twice after the fluctuation. Yes. In these cases, a cut-in effect is performed in which the character A appears on the blue background (normal state) or the character B appears on the red background (probability changed state), which notifies that the continuation of the re-variable display is 2. It has become easier. Therefore, the relationship between the execution probabilities is as follows: Ag> Bg, Ah <Bh for the first fluctuation when the pseudo-continuation is executed twice, and Ao for the second fluctuation when the pseudo-continuation is executed three times. > Bo, Ap <Bp.

  Next, FIG. 8C shows the execution probability of the special notice effect, and the execution of the special notice effect is determined so as to have the following execution probability relationship. In the case of a loss, the special notice effect is difficult to be executed, so the execution probability relationship is M1> N1. On the other hand, when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot, it is easy to execute the special notice effect, so the relationship between the execution probabilities is M2 <N2.

  Hereinafter, the process performed for the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed according to timer interrupt processing executed every 2 ms. Note that only the release of the game ball to the game area 7 based on the operation of the hitting operation handle 5 is performed independently of the timer interruption process every 2 ms.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed every 2 ms in the main process executed by the CPU 56. When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 performs the register saving process (step S21), and then executes the game control process of steps S22 to S36. In the game control process, the CPU 56 first inputs detection signals of switches such as the gate switch 61, the start port switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning port switch 64, and the like via the switch circuit 32, and changes the state of these signals. A switch process for determining is performed (step S22).

  Next, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a jackpot determination random number and a jackpot type determination random number used for game control is performed (step S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number (step S24) and a process for updating the counter value for generating the display random number (step S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol process processing (step S26). In the special symbol process, the corresponding symbol is selected according to the special symbol process flag for controlling the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the variable display device 9, the special variable winning device 20 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. It is issued and executed. The value of the special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Further, normal symbol process processing is performed (step S27). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 12 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. By executing the normal symbol process, the display control of the normal symbol display 12 and the opening / closing control of the variable winning device 15 are executed.

  Next, the CPU 56 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in the special symbol process, and an effect control command for displaying on the variable display device 9 (a command indicating a variation pattern, whether or not to be a big hit, and a big hit type is set. Special symbol command control processing for sending the command to the display control board 80 is performed (step S28). Further, a normal symbol command control process for sending an effect control command related to the normal symbol set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 by the normal symbol process is performed (step S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (step S30).

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a prize ball process for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the start opening switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning prize opening switch 64, and the like (step S31). Specifically, a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls is given to the payout control board 36 in response to winning detection based on any of the start opening switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning opening switch 64, etc. being turned on. Output. The payout control CPU mounted on the payout control board 36 drives the ball payout device 44 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of prize balls.

  And CPU56 performs the memory | storage process which checks the increase / decrease in a pending | holding memory | storage number (step S32). In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the gaming machine to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed (step S33). Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a drive command is issued to the solenoid circuit 33 (step S34). In order to open the variable prize-winning device 15 and the special variable prize-winning device 20, or to switch the game ball passage in the big prize opening 21, the solenoid circuit 33 is configured with solenoids 71 to 73 in accordance with a drive command. Drive. Thereafter, the contents of the register are restored (step S35), and the interrupt enabled state is set (step S36).

  Next, the special symbol process in step S26 will be described. In the special symbol process, the CPU 56 first determines whether or not the start opening switches 62a and 62b for detecting that a game ball has won the start winning opening 14a and 14b provided in the game board 6 are turned on. In other words, it is determined whether or not a start winning that causes the game ball to win the start winning ports 14a and 14b has occurred, and if a start winning has occurred, a start port switch passing process is performed. After that, depending on the state of the special symbol process flag, special symbol normal processing, variation pattern setting processing, special symbol variation processing, special symbol suspension processing, pre-winning opening pre-processing, large winning opening open processing, which will be described below, One of the jackpot end processing is performed.

  Special symbol normal processing: Wait until the special symbol variable display can be started. When the CPU 56 enters a state where variable symbol special display can be started (the special symbol display 10a, 10b has finished executing the special symbol game), the CPU 56 stores numerical data stored in the holding storage buffer. The number (holding stored number) is sequentially checked for the start winnings to the starting winning ports 14a, 14b.

  If the count value of the holding storage counter is not 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14a, the jackpot determination table of FIG. 3A is referred to according to the gaming state, and the jackpot is determined based on the value of the jackpot determination random number. Or not (whether or not to obtain a specific display result). In the case of jackpot, the jackpot type determination table in FIG. 3B is referred to, and the jackpot type is also determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number.

  If the count value of the hold storage counter is 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14a, but the count value of the hold storage counter is not 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14b, the start winning to the start winning opening 14a As in the case of, whether or not to make a jackpot based on the value of the jackpot determination random number with reference to the jackpot determination table of FIG. 3A according to the gaming state (whether to be a specific display result) To decide. In the case of winning the starting prize to the starting prize opening 14b, the jackpot type determination table in FIG. 3C is referred to, and the jackpot type is also determined based on the value of the random number for jackpot type determination.

  Fluctuation pattern setting processing: A plurality of types of variation patterns determined in advance according to the random value for variation pattern determination extracted at the time of starting winning the variation pattern of the special symbol in the special symbol display 10a, 10b for which the big hit lottery has been performed Choose from. Based on the determined variation pattern, the variation time of the special symbol is set in a special symbol process timer (configured by a down timer), and then the special symbol process timer is started. At this time, a signal for instructing the start of variable display of the special symbol is output to any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, and a command indicating the selected variation pattern, a command indicating whether or not the jackpot is set, and a command indicating the jackpot type Is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after. It should be noted that if the variation pattern and whether or not the jackpot type and the jackpot type are the same, the command transmitted to the display control board 80 even when the special symbol variation display is performed by any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b. There is no difference.

  Special symbol variation processing: Monitor the time of the special symbol process timer with the variation time set according to the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern setting processing, and when the variation time has passed and the special symbol process timer times out, Next, control is performed to shift to the special symbol stop process.

  Special symbol stop process: Stops variable display of a special symbol variably displayed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, and outputs a signal indicating the stop of the special symbol to any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. Is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in a special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after that. It should be noted that the command indicating the stop of the symbol is the same regardless of whether the special symbol change display is performed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b.

  Pre-opening process for the big winning opening: When this process is performed for the first time after the big hit, after setting the number of rounds of the big winning opening 21, the control for opening the big winning opening 21 is started. Specifically, the solenoid 72 is driven to open the special winning opening 21 and to open the special variable winning device 20. In addition, the number of rounds in which the special winning opening 21 is opened is counted, and the execution time of the special winning opening opening process is set by the release timer.

  Process during opening of the big winning opening: a state in which a command for round display in the first jackpot gaming state and the second jackpot gaming state is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after And a process for confirming that the closing condition of the special winning opening 21 is satisfied.

  Jackpot end process: A command indicating that the first jackpot game state or the second jackpot game state has ended is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after.

  On the other hand, in various sub-side boards such as the display control board 80, the variable display device 9 displays the decorative symbols in a variable manner in accordance with the special symbol variable display based on the command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31. Or a process of executing a big hit round effect when the first big hit game state is controlled. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  In this main process, first, an initialization process for initializing a necessary area in the RAM included in the display control microcomputer mounted on the display control board 80 is performed (step S701). Next, it is determined whether or not the state of the timer interrupt flag set by timer interrupt processing executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) is 1 (step S702). The process of step S702 is repeated until it becomes.

  After the timer interrupt flag status is 1, first, the timer interrupt flag is cleared to 0 (step S703), and it is checked whether a command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 is received, If a command has been received, command analysis processing for analyzing the content is executed (step S704).

  Next, based on the analysis result of the command in the command analysis process, an effect control process process is executed in which the decorative display is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 or a jackpot round effect is executed (step S705). In the effect control process, a process for executing a pseudo-continuous notice and a notice effect is also performed. For example, the pseudo-announcement is determined at the timing when the (re) variable display of the decorative symbol starts with the pseudo-variable variation pattern, and according to the determination, the period before the decorative symbol stops or when the decorative symbol stops This is a pseudo-annual notice.

  Further, a random number update process for updating random numbers such as a random number for notice type determination, a random number for notice mode determination, a random number for round effect type determination, a random number for effect pattern determination, and the like is executed (step S706), and the process returns to step S702. .

  Next, an execution example of the slip effect in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 illustrates an example of the case where the smooth effect after reaching is executed in the second variation display when the re-variation continues two or more times in the pseudo-continuous. First, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the variable display start condition is satisfied, the decorative symbol variation display is started in the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. Thereafter, when a certain period of time elapses, as shown in FIG. 11B, the ornamental symbol (here “7”) is stopped in the left ornamental symbol display area 9a. The decorative symbol (here, “6” immediately before “7”) is also temporarily stopped in the region 9c.

  After this state is maintained for a certain period of time, as shown in FIG. 11C, the decorative pattern once stopped in the decorative pattern display area 9c on the right side slowly starts to move from the top to the bottom, and the pseudo-continuous smooth slip is displayed. Production begins. However, since it is not the last variation display in the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous pattern, as shown in FIG. 11D, the decorative symbol in the right decorative symbol display area 9c is a symbol for displaying the reach display mode (here, “7”). ), It is further stopped to advance to the previous decorative symbol (here, “9”) so that the decorative symbol becomes a chance in the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. In addition, the decorative symbol (here, “8”) in the decorative symbol display area 9b is also stopped.

  After a certain period of time elapses, as shown in FIG. 11E, the decorative symbol variation display is resumed in all of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. In the second variation display, since the slip effect after the reach is executed, the decorative symbol (here, “7”) is stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9a on the left as shown in FIG. When a certain period of time elapses, the decorative symbol (here, “7”) is also temporarily stopped in the decorative symbol display area 9c on the right. After this state is maintained for a certain period of time, as shown in FIG. 11 (g), the decorative pattern once stopped in the decorative pattern display area 9c on the right side slowly starts to move from the top to the bottom, and the slip of the slip after reach is reached. Production begins.

  Even in this case, since it is not the last variation display in the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous pattern, as shown in FIG. 11 (h), the decorative symbols are displayed in the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. Thus, the decorative design (here “9”) in the decorative design display area 9c on the right and the decorative design (here “8”) in the central decorative design display region 9b are stopped. After a certain period of time elapses, as shown in FIG. 11 (i), the decorative symbol variation display is resumed in all of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, when winning the jackpot lottery and determining that the jackpot type is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot, The gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state in which 21 is opened over a relatively long period. When it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot is determined, the decorative symbol display area on the left, middle or right is displayed as the display result of the variation display of the decorative symbol on the variable display device 9. The same type of decorative symbols are also stopped in 9a to 9c.

  Here, in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c, the decorative symbol variation display is not stopped all at once, but the left decorative symbol display region 9a, the right decorative symbol display region 9c, and the decorative symbol display region in the middle The decorative symbol change display is stopped in the order of 9b. If the same type of decorative symbols are not aligned and the reach display mode is not displayed at the stage where the variation display of the decorative symbols is stopped up to the left and right decorative symbol display regions 9a and 9c, the inner decorative symbol display region 9b is displayed. No matter what kind of decorative pattern is stopped, the probability change jackpot, the probable promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot will not be.

  However, the variation display pattern of the decorative symbols in the variable display device 9 also includes a pseudo-variable variation pattern, and when this is selected, the decorative symbol variation display patterns 9a to 9c on the left, middle, and right are displayed. Even if the types of the decorative symbols once stopped are not all the same, the variation display of the decorative symbols is performed again in any of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c on the left, middle, and right. After the decorative symbol is displayed again and again, the same type of decorative symbol is stopped in any of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c, and the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot may be obtained. is there. In addition, when the re-variation display of the decorative pattern is executed with the pseudo-variation variation pattern, the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot or the short-term jackpot will be larger than the non-reach variation pattern or even the normal reach variation pattern. The expectation that becomes becomes high.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, while the decorative symbols are still variably displayed in the middle decorative symbol display area 9 b, in the right decorative symbol display area 9 c (or in the left decorative symbol display area 9 a), A sliding effect may be executed in which the once stopped symbols are variably displayed again. For the slip effect, reach slip which displays the reach display mode in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c and the chance symbol (for example, the left, middle and right decorative symbols are "7", "8", "9" in order). There is a post-reach slip that stops the decorative pattern, or a pseudo-continuous slip. Since the slip after reach or the pseudo-continuous slip is performed when the reach slip is not executed, if the reach slip is executed and the reach display mode is displayed as the slip effect, the re-variable display is not performed. It will be.

  By the way, the execution of the re-variable display when the pseudo-ream is selected as the variation pattern, the number of executions increases at a higher rate than when it becomes a loss when the probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot or time-shortage jackpot It has become. For example, if the first re-change display is performed, it is still unlikely that the probability change jackpot, probable change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot will be given, but if the second re-change display is executed, the probability change jackpot and the probability change promotion will be increased. The possibility of a big hit or a short and big hit will increase. When the third re-variation display is executed, the probability of a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot is further increased.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the slip effect after the first re-variable display is executed in the pseudo-ream, only the post-reach slip or the pseudo-reliable slip is executed. Thus, reach slip is not executed. Reach / slip is executed and reach display mode is displayed, so that it is not determined that re-change display is not executed, and the number of re-change display increases when the slip effect is executed. On the other hand, a player's expectation can be raised. Further, after the first re-variation display is executed, a further re-variation display may be executed at the time when the slip effect is started (decorative symbols to be stopped after the slip effect are not determined). Since it is confirmed, it is possible to increase the player's expectation and improve the interest of the game.

  Furthermore, when the pseudo-ream is selected as the variation pattern and the first re-variable display is executed, the post-reach slip is executed as the slip effect at a higher rate than before the first re-variable display is performed. It is supposed to be. As a result, even after the reach display mode after the first re-variation display is displayed, the player's expectation that further re-variation display is executed can be continued, and the interest of the game is further improved. Can be made.

  Further, a step-up effect may be executed as a reach notice effect for notifying that a reach display mode different from the slip effect appears during the decorative pattern variation display. The determination of the slip effect is made according to the determination result after the reach notice effect including the step-up effect is determined. For this reason, the execution of such a reach notice effect and the execution of the slip effect are not inconsequential.

  In addition, when it is decided to execute the step-up effect as the reach notice effect, the reach notice effect and the slip effect are overlapped in the same variation display effect by deciding not to execute any kind of slip effect. As a result, the production is simple and clear for the player.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, in the variation patterns of normal and super A, which are variation patterns in which the reach display mode appears, the reach determined for each type of variation pattern after the reach display mode appears. A display effect (a variation display mode of decorative symbols and / or an effect performed in accordance with this) is executed.

  Furthermore, after the reach display effect is executed with the same variation as the normal variation pattern as the variation pattern, and the reach display mode is reached, the decoration pattern on the left and the decoration pattern on the right are again displayed without stopping. In the super B where the reach display effect is further executed with the same variation time as the variation time of the variation pattern of the super A, and the pseudo-ream, first, the variation before the last re-variation (re-variation) ), The reach display effect is executed by the same change as the normal change pattern, all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped, and the reach display effect is executed for the last re-change with the same change time as the change time of the super A change pattern. The variation pattern of the super development to be performed can also be selected.

  Of such Super B and Super Evolution as variation patterns, Super Evolution is easy to select when the pseudo-variation variation pattern type is selected, and the number of times is less than three times. In some cases, it is not selected. Thus, in the case where the pseudo-ream is executed three or more times, the reach display effect having the same variation time as the variation time of the variation pattern of Super A is executed (the reach display effect of Super A or Super B If the decorative pattern on the left and right decorative patterns start changing again and the reach display effect is executed), the super development is not selected as the change pattern. , The fun of gaming is improved.

  Furthermore, in addition to performing step-up effects as reach notice effects, special notice effects are also provided to warn of the possibility of probability change jackpots, probable change promotion jackpots, or short-term jackpots when the actor 26 operates during the variable display. May be. In this way, in addition to the step-up effect that can be repeatedly executed, the special notice effect that is executed only once during the variable display is executed, thereby preventing the effect from becoming bothersome and preventing a decrease in interest. A plurality of types of effects can be executed.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

  In the above embodiment, when the pseudo-continuous is selected as the variation pattern, the slip effect is performed before the re-variation display is performed. However, even if the slip effect is not executed, the re-variable display may be executed. Also, in the slip production, after the reach after the reach, the pseudo-continuous slip, after the temporary stop slip, the chance was derived, and it was confirmed that the re-variable display by the pseudo-continuation continued. In this way, the slip effect is clearly notified not only for the continuation of the pseudo-continuation but also for the determination that the reach display mode is displayed in the continuous variable display of the pseudo-continuation. Good. Moreover, you may alert | report definitely any.

  In the case of informing the confirmation of the two objects in this way, the display effect on the variable display device 9 in the sliding effect may be varied depending on the difference between the objects. For example, when the target is a pseudo-ream, the locus of the movement of the symbol in the slip effect is displayed in red, while when the reach display mode is displayed, the symbol in the slip effect is displayed. The movement trajectory may be displayed in blue. In addition, in the sliding effect where it is unclear which decision is the target, the locus of movement of the symbol may be displayed in yellow.

  In the above embodiment, the background color of the variable display device 9 is blue when the gaming state is normal, and the background color is red when the probability variation state is present. It is also possible to use yellow as the background color of the variable display device 9, assuming that the game state is not known. Further, in such a case, instead of the probable promotion jackpot as the type of jackpot, the decorative symbols are arranged and stopped with symbols other than “1” or “7”, and the probability winning state is also controlled in the jackpot effect. It is also possible to provide a probability variation latent jackpot that does not notify whether or not, and when the probability variation state is caused by this probability variation latency jackpot, yellow is used as the background color of the variable display device 9. The background color of the variable display device 9 may be selectable by the player.

  In the above embodiment, the reach notice effect in the pseudo-ream is displayed on each time of fluctuation display (from the first fluctuation start to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the next temporary stop, from the last temporary stop to the final stop). However, which reach notice effect is to be executed is determined separately for each variable display. On the other hand, it is also possible to select a pattern that determines a combination of reach notice effects at each time of the variable display at a time when the decorative symbol variable display is started.

  For example, if the pattern of “effect B-effect A-step-up effect 2” is selected at the start of the fluctuation display of the two pseudo-continuations, the effect B is displayed in the period from the change start to the first temporary stop. Production A is executed in the period from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop, and step-up production 2 is executed in the period from the second temporary stop to the final stop. From the viewpoint of the player, the production B is individually determined for the period from the fluctuation start to the first temporary stop, and the production A is individually determined for the period from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop. And it will not be different from the case where the step-up effect 2 is determined individually for the period from the second temporary stop to the final stop.

  In the above-described embodiment, the slip effect is executed alone to derive chance chances in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c and to notify the continuation of the pseudo-run definitely. Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the player is normally open at the top and bottom of the variable display device 9 so that the player can visually recognize the image of the variable display device 9, but each of the images is variable by being closed from above and below. It is also possible to provide a shutter accessory that is superimposed on the entire front surface of the display device 9 and prevents the player from visually recognizing the image of the variable display device 9. When this shutter accessory is provided, the shutter accessory is superimposed on the entire front surface of the variable display device 9 in conjunction with the execution timing of the slip effect, and the shutter accessory is opened and variable at the timing when the chance eye is derived. The image on the display device 9 may be viewed by the player so that the shutter effect can be executed.

  At this time, the shutter effect may be executed together with the slip effect, and when the shutter effect is executed, the slip effect is not executed (the display pattern is not simply switched instead of the decorative pattern). Good. By doing this, it is possible to give the player an unexpectedness due to the decorative pattern changing before and after the shutter effect, and, like the slip effect, the pseudo-continuation continues when the shutter effect starts. Since it is confirmed that the player is expected to be played, the player's expectation can be enhanced.
