In addition, the main control CPU 30a is connected to the electric accessory solenoid SOL1 and the big prize solenoid SOL2.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern can specify the variation time from the start of the symbol variation game to the end of the symbol variation game. In addition, the variation pattern in the present embodiment can specify the contents of effects produced by the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, and the speaker Sp. The variation patterns include a variation pattern for a jackpot effect determined at the time of a big hit and a variation pattern for a loss effect determined at the time of a loss.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the big hit determination value is stored in the main control ROM 30b. The big hit determination value is a determination value used in the big hit lottery. The number of jackpot determination values when the high probability lottery state is occurring is larger than the number of jackpot determination values when the high probability lottery state is not occurring. The main control ROM 30b stores a normal hit determination value. The normal hit determination value is a determination value used in the normal hit lottery.

  The main control RAM 30c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the main control high probability lottery state flag indicating whether or not the high probability lottery state is occurring is stored in the main control RAM 30c. The main control RAM 30c stores a main control entrance rate improvement state flag indicating whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is occurring.

  Further, in the main control board 30, various random numbers used as a big hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number are generated. Incidentally, the big hit determination random number is a random number used in the big hit lottery. The special symbol allocation random number is a random number used when determining the type of jackpot. The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 has an effect control CPU 31a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, an effect control ROM 31b that stores a control program for the effect control CPU 31a, and an effect control that can write and read necessary data.

In addition, various information (random value, timer value, flag, etc.) that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is stored (set) in the effect control RAM 31c. For example, the effect control high probability lottery state flag indicating whether or not the high probability lottery state is occurring is stored in the effect control RAM 31c. The effect control RAM 31c stores an effect control entrance rate improvement state flag indicating whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is occurring.

Hereinafter, the control contents executed by the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 based on the main control program will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes every predetermined control cycle.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a receives a detection signal output from the upper start switch SW1 or the lower start switch SW2 when detecting a game ball that has entered the upper start ball entering device 15 or the lower start ball entering device 17, the main control CPU 30a receives the main control. It is determined whether or not the reserved storage number stored in the RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (“4” in the present embodiment). When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the hold memory number and rewrites the hold memory number. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the hold display device 26 so as to represent the hold storage number after 1 addition.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a having affirmed the hold determination obtains values of various random numbers generated in the main control board 30 (a jackpot determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number). Then, the value is stored (stored) in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c in association with the reserved storage number. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. As described above, by storing the values of various random numbers in the main control RAM 30c in association with the number of reserved memories, the execution of the symbol variation game is suspended. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a does not rewrite the hold storage number exceeding the upper limit number, and ends the special symbol input process without obtaining the values of the random numbers described above. To do.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the symbol variation game is being executed or whether the big hit game is being generated. When the determination result of the execution condition determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the execution condition determination is negative, the reserved memory number is read, and the reserved number determination is performed as to whether or not the reserved memory number is greater than “0 (zero)”. When the determination result of the hold number determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the hold number determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the hold storage number, and various random numbers (a big hit determination random number, special random number stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c). Read the values of random numbers for design distribution and random numbers for variation pattern distribution). Further, the main control CPU 30a changes the display content of the hold display device 26 so as to represent the hold storage number after 1 subtraction.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a that has read various random number values determines whether or not the read jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b. A big hit lottery). At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot lottery using a jackpot determination value according to whether or not the high probability lottery state is occurring.

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative, that is, in the case of a big hit, the main control CPU 30a executes a big hit fluctuation process for executing a symbol fluctuation game that is a big hit. In the big hit variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit type based on the read special symbol distribution random number value. In the present embodiment, the jackpot symbol and jackpot type to be displayed on the special symbol display device 25 in a fixed stop state by determining the jackpot symbol from the jackpot symbol classified as the probability variation jackpot and the jackpot symbol classified as the non-probability variation jackpot. To decide. Further, in the big hit variation processing, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns for the big hit effect based on the read random value for variation pattern distribution. When the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern in the big hit variation process, the special symbol start process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative, the main control CPU 30a recognizes the deviation from the fact that the value of the big hit determination random number is not a big hit value. Then, the main control CPU 30a executes a deviation fluctuation process for causing the symbol fluctuation game to be out of play. In the deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines that the special symbol display device 25 displays the symbol to be confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns for the off-stage effect based on the read random value for variation pattern distribution. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process when the fluctuation pattern is determined in the deviation fluctuation process.

  The main control CPU 30a that has determined the special symbol and the variation pattern in the special symbol start process outputs a control command generated according to the determined content to the effect control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol variation game at the start of the symbol variation game. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process to the effect control CPU 31a. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs all symbol stop commands instructing the end of the symbol variation game when the variation time set in the instructed variation pattern has elapsed, as the variation time elapses, and determines the special The display contents of the special symbol display device 25 are controlled so that the symbols are displayed in a fixed stop state.

  In addition, when the big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a controls the open state and the closed state of the big prize winning device 20 after the end of the symbol variation game to be won in the big hit lottery, thereby causing the big hit game to occur.

  The main control CPU 30a controls the gaming state by managing the main control high probability lottery state flag and the main control entrance rate improvement state flag. Specifically, when the high probability lottery state is generated, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the high probability lottery state is occurring in the main control high probability lottery state flag. When the high probability lottery state is not caused to occur, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the high probability lottery state is not occurring in the main control high probability lottery state flag.

  Further, when causing the entrance rate improvement state to occur, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is occurring in the main control entrance rate improvement state flag. In addition, when the entrance rate improvement state is not caused to occur, the main control CPU 30a sets information indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is not occurring in the entrance rate improvement state flag for the main control.

Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the control program will be described.
When the variation control designation command and the special symbol designation command are input, the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 11 according to the instruction content of the command.

  Specifically, when the jackpot symbol is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from the symbol combination of the jackpot. In addition, when a missing symbol is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of decorative symbols to be confirmed and stopped from among the missing symbol combinations.

  When the change pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so that the decorative symbols of each symbol row are displayed in a variable manner to start the symbol change game. Then, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the effect display device 11 to confirm and display the symbol combination of the decorative symbols determined to be confirmed and stopped.

  In addition, when the jackpot game is generated, the effect control CPU 31a displays the display mode of the effect display device 11 and the sound output of the speaker Sp so that a predetermined jackpot effect is executed until the jackpot game ends. The mode and the light emission mode of the decorative lamp La are controlled.

  Further, the effect control CPU 31a can specify the gaming state by managing the effect control high probability lottery state flag and the effect control entrance rate improvement state flag. Specifically, when the high probability lottery state is generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the high probability lottery state is occurring in the effect control high probability lottery state flag. When the high probability lottery state is not generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the high probability lottery state is not occurring in the effect control high probability lottery state flag.

  When the entrance rate improvement state is generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the entrance rate improvement state is occurring in the effect control entrance rate improvement state flag. When the entrance rate improvement state is not generated, the effect control CPU 31a sets information that can specify that the entrance rate improvement state is not occurring in the effect control entrance rate improvement state flag.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, depending on the open / closed state of the big winning device 20 during the occurrence of the big hit game and the production contents of the big hit production, it is classified into any kind of the probable big hit and the non-probable big hit. Since it cannot be specified whether or not the big hit game based on the game has occurred, the game state after the big hit game cannot be specified. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, “after the big hit game is finished, the execution of the symbol variation game of a predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, the same number as the number of times of improvement in the entrance rate) is finished without a big hit. In the “period until”, the effect display device 11 executes a state suggestion effect that provides an opportunity to specify the gaming state by operating the effect button BT.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, in the state suggestion effect, the effect display device 11 displays a hero image Pa imitating a hero character as an effect index.

Has been.

  In the present embodiment, the state suggestion effect is developed with the content that the hero acquires coins. The maximum number of coins that can be acquired by the main character is set to “100”, and the color of the meter area changes according to the cumulative number of coins acquired by the main character. In the drawing, the meter area in which the color has changed is shown by hatching, while the meter area in which the color has not changed is shown without hatching.

  Incidentally, in this embodiment, if the cumulative number of coins acquired by the main character is “0”, the colors of all meter areas do not change. If the accumulated number of coins acquired by the hero is “1-20”, the color of only the first meter area changes. If the accumulated number of coins acquired by the hero is “21-40”, the meter is changed. The colors of the areas M1 and M2 change. Similarly, if the cumulative number of coins acquired by the hero is “41-60”, the color of the meter areas M1-M3 changes, and if the cumulative number of coins acquired by the hero is “61-80”. The colors of the meter areas M1 to M4 change. If the cumulative number of coins acquired by the hero is “81 to 99”, the color of the meter areas M1 to M5 changes, and if the cumulative number of coins acquired by the hero has reached “100”, all of them. The color of the meter areas M1 to M5 and Mm of the meter changes. As described above, in the present embodiment, the first meter area M1, the second meter area M2, the third meter area M3, the fourth meter area M4, the fifth meter area M5, and the maximum meter area Mm are developed in this order. Accordingly, the number of meter areas where the color changes increases.

  However, in the state suggestion effect, the effect may be developed with the content that the main character loses the acquired coins. In such a case, as the number of coins acquired by the main character decreases, the number of meter areas in which the color changes may decrease. Thus, the number of meter areas where the color changes may increase or decrease.

  In the present embodiment, the color of the maximum meter region Mm can change if the high-probability lottery state is occurring, while the color of the maximum meter region Mm cannot change unless the high-probability lottery state is occurring. . For this reason, when the color of the maximum meter area Mm changes, the player is notified that the current gaming state is a high-probability lottery state.

  In the present embodiment, in the state suggestion effect, the first box image Ba for increasing the cumulative number of coins acquired by the hero and the second box image Bb for decreasing the cumulative number of coins acquired by the hero. May be displayed on the effect display device 11. In addition to the box images Ba and Bb, a third box image Bc that cannot be estimated as to whether or not the cumulative number of coins acquired by the main character will increase may be displayed on the effect display device 11 in the state suggestion effect. is there.

  The box images Ba, Bb, and Bc are displayed by being moved from the right side to the left side of the effect display device 11 like the background image HG and the obstacle SB. The box images Ba, Bb, and Bc are displayed on a route through which the main character can pass. Then, at the timing when the display of the main character and the box images Ba, Bb, and Bc overlaps, the main character is operated in a manner corresponding to each box image, and the display of the box image whose display overlaps with the main character image Pa is erased. At the same time, the effect display device 11 numerically displays the number of coins that increase or decrease to the cumulative number of coins.

Hereinafter, differences between the box images Ba, Bb, and Bc will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, when the first box image Ba is displayed on a route through which the main character can pass and the main character overlaps with the first box image Ba, the main character will receive a coin. The number of coins to be acquired is numerically displayed while the effect to be acquired is performed, and the number of meter areas where the color changes can be increased by increasing the cumulative number of coins. On the other hand, when the hero overlaps with the first box image Ba, the hero does not lose the acquired coins, and the number of meter areas where the color changes does not decrease.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the second box image Bb is displayed on a route through which the main character can pass and the main character overlaps with the second box image Bb, the main character has acquired. An effect of losing coins is performed, and the number of coins to be lost is displayed numerically, and the number of meter areas where the color changes can be reduced by reducing the cumulative number of coins. On the other hand, when the second box image Bb and the main character overlap, the main character does not acquire coins, and the number of meter areas where the color changes does not increase.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the third box image Bc is displayed on a route through which the main character can pass, and when the third box image Bc and the main character overlap, the main character is displayed. There are cases where the effect of acquiring coins is performed and the number of coins to be acquired is displayed numerically. In this case, the number of meter areas where the color changes can be increased by increasing the cumulative number of coins.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7C, when the third box image Bc is displayed on a path through which the main character can pass, and the third box image Bc and the main character overlap, In some cases, the main character loses the acquired coins and the number of lost coins is displayed numerically. In this case, the number of meter areas where the color changes may decrease as the cumulative number of coins decreases.

  When the hero overlaps with the first box image Ba or the third box image Bc, the number of coins that the hero can acquire is “1”, “2”, “5”, and “10”. "Is one of the numbers. The number of coins to be acquired is the number of coins added to the cumulative number of coins acquired by the main character, and is determined by lottery. Further, when the main character overlaps with the second box image Bb or the third box image Bc, the number of coins that the main character can lose is any one of “3”, “5”, and “10”. It becomes the number of sheets. The number of lost coins is the number of coins subtracted from the cumulative number of coins acquired by the main character, and is determined by lottery.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the obstacle SB is displayed even when the presentation button BT is not operated in a timely manner at a timing when the positional relationship between the main character and the obstacle SB becomes a predetermined positional relationship. When the production button BT is operated when not, the voice production is performed.

Here, the control performed by the CPU 31a for effect control when the state suggestion effect is performed (in the present embodiment, during the occurrence of the entrance rate improvement state) will be described.
During the occurrence of the improved entrance rate, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 11 so that the background image HG is moved and displayed from the right side to the left side of the image display unit GH. In addition, during the occurrence of the entrance rate improvement state, the effect control CPU 31a displays the main character image Pa and the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to be displayed with various operations of the main character indicated by the main character image Pa. To control.

In the entrance rate improvement state, the effect control CPU 31a performs an obstacle lottery for determining whether or not the obstacle SB appears (displays) during the symbol variation game.
As shown in FIG. 8A, when the obstacle lottery is won, the first period and the second period are set continuously as an effective period for validating the operation of the effect button BT. At this time, the CPU 31a for effect control sets the second period until the predetermined time elapses from the start of the symbol variation game, and sets the first period after the predetermined time elapses. Further, the effect control CPU 31a sets the second period from the end of the first period to just before the end of the symbol variation game. In this way, the presentation control CPU 31a sets the second period continuously before and after the first period without any interval from the first period. The effect control CPU 31a sets the first period and the second period so as not to overlap. The second period is longer than the first period. Furthermore, the second period is longer than the first period by two times or more (in this embodiment, ten times or more).

When the effect button BT is operated once in the first period, the effect control CPU 31a does not validate the operation of the effect button BT for the second and subsequent times in the first period.
When setting the first period, the effect control CPU 31a displays the obstacle SB on the effect display device 11 so that the positional relationship between the hero and the obstacle SB is a predetermined positional relationship during the first period. Control. At the same time, during the second period other than the first period, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display of the obstacle SB on the effect display device 11 so that the positional relationship between the main character and the obstacle SB does not become a predetermined positional relationship. .

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when the obstacle lottery is not won, the effect control CPU 31a sets the second period from the start of the symbol variation game to immediately before the end of the symbol variation game. .

Next, the control related to the determination of the type of box image to be displayed in the state suggestion effect and the number of coins acquired or lost by the main character by the box image will be described.
When the obstacle lottery is won, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to display the box images Ba, Bb, and Bc on the upper route TR and the lower route AR, and determines the type of the box image to be displayed. . When displaying a box image, the number of coins that the hero acquires or loses is determined at the timing when the box image and the hero image Pa overlap.

  At this time, when the high-probability lottery state is not occurring, the effect control CPU 31a determines the number of coins that the hero acquires or loses so that the coin acquired by the hero does not reach “100”. The effect control CPU 31a does not decide to display the first box image Ba when the number of coins already acquired by the main character is “99” and the high-probability lottery state is not occurring. . Further, the production control CPU 31a displays the box images Ba, Bb, and Bc when the high-probability lottery state is occurring and the coins acquired by the main character have reached “100”. Not decided.

  In addition, when the box image is displayed on both the roots TR and AR, the effect control CPU 31a displays each box so that a box image advantageous to the player is more easily displayed on the upper route TR than on the lower route AR. The type of box image to be displayed on the routes TR and AR and the number of coins acquired or lost by the main character are determined.

  The box image advantageous to the player means a box image that can acquire coins in a box image that can acquire coins and a box image that cannot acquire coins. Further, a box image that is advantageous to the player in the case of any box image that can acquire coins means a box image that has a large number of coins that can be acquired. Further, a box image that is advantageous to the player in the case of a box image that loses coins means a box image that has a small number of lost coins.

  Further, when displaying the box image on one of the routes TR and AR, the effect control CPU 31a displays the box image on the upper route TR with respect to the lower route AR if the box image is a box image advantageous to the player. Easy to determine. On the other hand, when the effect control CPU 31a displays a box image on one of the routes TR and AR, if the box image is unfavorable for the player, the effect control CPU 31a displays it on the lower route AR than the upper route TR. Easy to determine.

  As described above, when the effect control CPU 31a displays the obstacle SB, the type of box image to be displayed is displayed so that the effect is developed more advantageously for the player in the upper route TR than in the lower route AR. The number of coins that the hero acquires or loses at the timing at which the box image and the hero image Pa overlap is determined. For this reason, from the viewpoint of production, the upper route TR is more likely to have fewer opportunities for the cumulative number of coins acquired by the hero to decrease than the lower route AR. That is, when the production button BT is not operated at a timing when the positional relationship between the main character and the obstacle SB becomes a predetermined positional relationship, the accumulated number of coins is reduced more than when the production button BT is operated at the timing. Will increase.

  When the obstacle lottery is not won, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to display the box images Ba, Bb, and Bc on the route through which the main character shown by the main character image Pa passes and displays the box. Determine the type of image. When displaying a box image, the number of coins that the hero acquires or loses is determined at the timing when the box image and the hero image Pa overlap.

  At this time, when the high-probability lottery state is not occurring, the effect control CPU 31a determines the number of coins that the hero acquires or loses so that the coin acquired by the hero does not reach “100”. The effect control CPU 31a does not decide to display the first box image Ba when the number of coins already acquired by the main character is “99” and the high-probability lottery state is not occurring. . Further, the production control CPU 31a displays the box images Ba, Bb, and Bc when the high-probability lottery state is occurring and the coins acquired by the main character have reached “100”. Not decided.

Next, the control performed by the effect control CPU 31a based on the operation of the effect button BT in each effective period will be described.
When the operation control CPU 31a inputs an operation signal from the effect button BT in the first period, the effect that the hero jumps so that the hero follows the upper route TR and the hero moves above the obstacle SB. The display content of the effect display device 11 is controlled so as to produce a running effect.

  In addition, when the operation signal from the effect button BT is input in the second period, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the voice effect. In the present embodiment, as the contents of the effects of the voice effects, a total of 10 kinds of effects contents of the effects contents BE1 to BE10 are provided.

  When determining the production content of the voice production, the production control CPU 31a uses different types of production content determination tables depending on whether or not a high-probability lottery state is occurring. Specifically, the production control CPU 31a determines the production content of the voice production using the production content determination table ET11 or the production content determination table ET21 during the occurrence of the high probability lottery state. On the other hand, when the high-probability lottery state is not occurring, the effect control CPU 31a uses the effect content determination table ET12 or the effect content determination table ET22 to determine the effect content of the voice effect.

  Further, the production control CPU 31a determines the production content of the voice production using different types of production content determination tables according to the accumulated number of coins. Specifically, during the occurrence of the high-probability lottery state, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect content of the voice effect using the effect content determination table ET11 if the cumulative number of coins is less than the specified number. On the other hand, during the occurrence of the high-probability lottery state, the production control CPU 31a determines the production content of the voice production using the production content determination table ET21 if the cumulative number of coins is equal to or greater than the prescribed number. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is set to “75”.

  When the high-probability lottery state is not occurring, the production control CPU 31a determines the production content of the voice production using the production content determination table ET12 if the cumulative number of coins is less than the specified number. When the high-probability lottery state is not occurring, the production control CPU 31a determines the production content of the voice production using the production content determination table ET22 if the cumulative number of coins is equal to or greater than the specified number.

  In each effect content determination table ET11, ET12, ET21, ET22, possible values of effect content determination random numbers used when determining the effect content of the voice effect are distributed for each effect content. In this embodiment, the value that can be taken by the effect content determination random number is “0 to 300”, and these 301 values are assigned to each effect content in each effect content determination table ET11, ET12, ET21, ET22. ing.

  As described above, the execution control of the production (such as the production in which the main character jumps) is performed based on the operation of the production button BT in the first period, and the production button BT is operated in the first period. The presentation control CPU 31a that performs the determination functions as a first determination unit. Further, performing execution control of the voice effect based on the operation of the effect button BT in the second period corresponds to determining that the effect button BT has been operated in the second period. The effect control CPU 31a that performs the determination functions as second determination means.

Here, the production content determination tables ET11, ET12, ET21, and ET22 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9C, in the effect content determination tables ET11 and ET21 used during the occurrence of the high probability lottery state, the value of “one or more” is set so that the effect content BE10 can be determined. It is distributed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9B and 9D, in the effect content determination tables ET12 and ET22 used when the high-probability lottery state is not occurring, “1 piece” is set so that the effect content BE10 cannot be determined. The value above is not assigned. Therefore, when the voice effect is performed with the effect content BE10, it can be specified that the high probability lottery state has occurred.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9D, the production contents BE1 to BE9 are the production contents of the voice production that may be determined in all the production content determination tables ET11, ET12, ET21, and ET22. It is. Among them, the production contents BE8 and BE9 are more easily determined as the production contents of the voice production when the production content determination table ET11 is used than when the production content determination table ET12 is used, and the production contents are decided by using the production content determination table ET21. It is easier to determine the production contents of the voice production than using the table ET22. That is, the production contents BE8 and BE9 are the production contents of the voice production that is easier to be executed when the high probability lottery state is generated than when the high probability lottery state is not generated, regardless of the cumulative number of coins. . Therefore, regardless of whether or not the cumulative number of coins is greater than or equal to the specified number, the expectation that a high-probability lottery state has occurred when a voice effect is performed with any of the effect contents BE8 and BE9. Can be identified as high.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, when the cumulative number of coins is less than the prescribed number, the production contents BE1 to BE7 are cases where any of the production content determination tables ET11 and ET12 is used. However, the production content of the voice production is determined with substantially the same probability. Therefore, when a voice effect is performed with any one of the effect contents BE1 to BE7, it cannot be specified whether or not a high-probability lottery state has occurred.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9C and 9D, when the accumulated number of coins is equal to or greater than the prescribed number, the production contents BE1 to BE7 are the production contents when the production content determination table ET22 is used. The production content is more easily determined as the production content of the voice production than when the determination table ET21 is used. Therefore, when it is possible to specify that the cumulative number of coins acquired by the main character is greater than or equal to the specified number, when a voice effect is performed with any of the effect contents BE1 to BE7, a high probability lottery is performed. It can be specified that the degree of expectation that the state has occurred is low. However, even when the cumulative number of coins is equal to or greater than the prescribed number and the high-probability lottery state is occurring, the probability that any one of the production contents BE1 to BE7 is determined is one of the production contents BE8 to BE10. It is higher than the probability that any production content is determined. For this reason, when the cumulative number of coins is equal to or greater than the specified number, the high-probability lottery state has not occurred just because the voice effect is executed with any one of the effect contents BE1 to BE7. Cannot be determined.

  In addition, when the production control CPU 31a determines the production content of the voice production using the production content determination table, it controls the sound output mode of the speaker Sp so as to execute the voice production of the determined production content.

Next, control according to the display mode of the meter M will be described.
The effect control CPU 31a specifies the route through which the main character has passed according to the lottery result of the obstacle lottery and the operation of the effect button BT in the first period. At the same time, when the box image is displayed on the route through which the main character has passed, the effect control CPU 31a numerically displays the number of coins acquired or lost by the main character determined together with the box image. Increase or decrease the cumulative number of coins based on the number. Then, the effect control CPU 31a controls the change in the color of the meter area constituting the meter M in accordance with the cumulative number of coins. For example, when the cumulative number of coins acquired by the main character is “33”, the effect control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the effect display device 11 so as to change the colors of the meter areas M1 and M2. .

  In addition, when a big hit game is generated during the occurrence of the entrance rate improvement state (period in which the state suggestion effect is performed), the production control CPU 31a resets the cumulative number of coins before the occurrence of the big hit game, Return the accumulated number of coins after the big hit game to “0”.

  In the present embodiment, when the effect button BT is operated in the first period, the protagonist jumps and runs above the obstacle SB, and the effect that the coins increase or decrease or does not increase or decrease corresponds to the first operation effect. To do. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect that the increase or decrease of coins is numerically displayed by the box image displayed on the upper side of the obstacle SB, or the coin is not increased or decreased without the box image being displayed on the upper side of the obstacle SB. The effect in which the number of increase / decrease is not displayed corresponds to the first result. The effect of increasing the cumulative number of coins (effect of acquiring coins) corresponds to the first result for increase, and the effect of decreasing the cumulative number of coins (effect of losing coins) is the first result for reduction. It corresponds to.

  In the present embodiment, the cumulative number of coins displayed on the meter M corresponds to the cumulative result. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 on which the meter M is displayed corresponds to cumulative notification means. Moreover, in this embodiment, the effect display apparatus 11 in which the effect etc. in which a hero jumps are performed function as a 1st operation effect execution means. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that performs control for causing the effect display device 11 to execute effects such as the jump of the hero functions as first operation effect control means.

  In the present embodiment, the voice effect executed by operating the effect button BT in the second period corresponds to the second operation effect. In the present embodiment, the content of the voice production effect corresponds to the second result. Moreover, in this embodiment, the speaker Sp which performs a voice effect functions as a 2nd operation effect execution means. In the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 31a that performs control for causing the speaker Sp to execute the voice effect functions as the second operation effect control means. In the present embodiment, the production contents BE8 to BE10 that can specify that the high probability lottery state is likely to have occurred are equivalent to the second result that specifies the gaming state. Further, in the present embodiment, the production contents BE1 to BE7 that cannot specify that the possibility that the high probability lottery state has occurred is high correspond to the second result in which the gaming state cannot be specified.

  In the present embodiment, the main control high probability lottery state flag in which information indicating whether or not the high probability lottery state has occurred is set, and the production control high probability lottery state flag is stored. The RAM 30c and the effect control RAM 31c function as storage means. Information set in the high probability lottery state flag for main control and the high probability lottery flag for effect control corresponds to game state information. Further, the high probability lottery state corresponds to the winning probability improvement state.

  Here, based on FIG. 10A to FIG. 10E and FIG. 11A to FIG. 11C, the display contents of the effect display device 11 and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp during the entrance rate improvement state are described. To do.

  It is assumed that the cumulative number of coins in FIG. 10A is “90” and that a high probability lottery state has occurred. For this reason, in FIG. 10A, since the cumulative number of coins is “90”, the colors of the meter areas M1 to M5 are changed and displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the effect button BT is operated when the obstacle SB is not displayed (second period), the voice effect is performed on the speaker Sp. At this time, if the production content BE2 is determined as the production content of the voice production, the voice production of the production content BE2 is performed by the speaker Sp. As described above, since the voice production is performed with the production content BE2 even though the cumulative number of coins exceeds the prescribed number, the player has a high degree of expectation that the high probability lottery state has occurred. Reduce.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10C, it is assumed that the obstacle SB is displayed. At this time, it is assumed that the box image Ba is displayed on the upper route TR and the box image Bb is displayed on the lower route AR.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (d), when the production button BT is operated with good timing at the timing (first period) when the positional relationship between the main character and the obstacle SB becomes a predetermined positional relationship, the main character is raised. It will pass on the route TR. As a result, the hero acquires coins.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 10E, when “10” is determined as the number of coins to be acquired by the main character, the accumulated number of coins reaches “100”. The colors of the areas M1 to M5 and Mm change. Thereby, the player can specify that the high probability lottery state has occurred.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the presentation button BT is not operated with good timing at the timing when the positional relationship between the main character and the obstacle SB becomes a predetermined positional relationship (the production button in the second period). When the BT is operated), a voice effect is performed on the speaker Sp. At this time, if the production content BE8 is determined as the production content of the voice production, the voice production of the production content BE8 is performed by the speaker Sp. In this way, even when the cumulative number of coins exceeds the specified number, the voice effect is performed with the effect content BE8, so the player expects that a high-probability lottery state has occurred. Improve the degree.

  In addition, since the production button BT is not operated at the timing when the positional relationship between the main character and the obstacle SB becomes a predetermined positional relationship, the main character passes on the lower route AR. As a result, the hero loses coins.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 11B, when “10” is determined as the number of coins lost by the hero, the number of coins acquired by the hero is “80”. The color of the meter area M5 returns to the original color, and the color changes to the state where the colors of the meter areas M1 to M4 are changed.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the effect button BT is operated when the obstacle SB is not displayed (second period), the voice effect is performed on the speaker Sp. At this time, if the production content BE10 is determined as the production content of the voice production, the voice production of the production content BE10 is performed by the speaker Sp. Thus, when the voice effect is executed with the effect content BE10, the player specifies that the high-probability lottery state has occurred.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) As a gaming machine provided with operation means such as a production button BT among general pachinko gaming machines, for example, a gaming machine described in JP 2010-167146 A (hereinafter referred to as “first conventional gaming”). Called "machine"). In the first conventional gaming machine, when the operation means is operated with good timing, the effect is developed so that a result of “success” is derived, while when the operation means is not operated with good timing, “ The performance is developed so that the result of “failure” is derived. As described above, since the timing of operating the operation means affects the development of the production, the player tries to operate the operation means with good timing, so that the player can participate in the production and increase the interest in the game. Yes. By the way, some players are not good at operating the operating means in a timely manner. Such a player may refrain from operating the operating means when the timing of operating the operating means affects the development of the effect, and as a result, there is a possibility that the interest in the game is reduced.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, if the effect button BT as the operation means can be operated in the first period, the coin can be changed after the main character jumps so that the number of coins acquired can be determined as a game state. An effect (first operation effect) for deriving a result indicating acquisition or loss is performed. For this reason, as the effect button BT is operated in the first period, the cumulative number of coins becomes a result that can specify the gaming state. Therefore, a player who is good at operating the effect button BT with good timing operates the effect button BT with good timing within the first period every time the obstacle SB is displayed and the first period arrives. Increase motivation to do so. In addition, by operating the effect button BT in a timely manner within the first period of several times, the accumulated number of coins becomes a content that can specify the gaming state. For this reason, even after the presentation button BT can be operated in a timely manner within one first period, the willingness to operate the presentation button BT can be maintained in preparation for the arrival of the next first period. The operation of the production button BT can be enjoyed.

  Further, when the effect button BT is operated in the second period, a voice effect (second operation effect) is executed with an effect content that can specify the game state or an effect content that cannot specify the game state. Since the second period is longer than the first period, it is easier to operate the effect button BT within the second period than to operate the effect button BT within the first period. Even a player who is not good at operating the production button BT within one period may be able to operate the production button BT with good timing within the second period. Therefore, if the production button BT can be operated within the second period, there is a possibility that the gaming state (whether or not the high-probability lottery state has occurred) can be specified. Thereby, even for a player who is not good at operating the production button BT in a timely manner within the first period, the production button BT within the second period in which the operation mode of the production button BT becomes easy. You can increase your willingness to try.

  (2) Since the cumulative number of coins increases / decreases, operating the effect button BT (operation means) within the first period is more interesting and more fun than simply increasing the cumulative number of coins. I can do it.

  (3) When the game state is advantageous to the player, the effect of reducing the cumulative number of coins (the effect of losing the coin) is less likely to be executed than when the game state is not advantageous to the player. . Accordingly, it may be possible to infer whether or not the gaming state is advantageous to the player from the rate (frequency) at which the effect of losing coins is executed. It is possible to increase the degree of attention to whether or not to lose coins by operating the effect button BT in the first period. As a result, a player who is good at operating the effect button BT in a timely manner within the first period has a desire to enjoy the game by operating the effect button BT in a timely manner within the first period. It is possible to increase the willingness to operate the production button BT every time the first period arrives.

  (4) The first period and the second period are set so as not to overlap. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused by performing the production in which the main character jumps in order to pass the upper route TR and the voice production in the same period. Furthermore, it is possible to increase the willingness to execute the effect that the player wants to execute, and to increase the willingness to operate the effect button BT within each of the first period and the second period. .

  (5) The first period and the second period are set continuously. For this reason, even if the timing of the operation is outside the first period and the operation button BT (operation means) is to be operated in a timely manner within the first period, the operation is performed as the operation of the effect button BT in the second period. May be reflected in deployment. Therefore, a player who is not good at operating the production button BT in a timely manner in the first period can practice the operation of the production button BT within the first period, and aims at the operation within the first period. Thus, the willingness to operate the effect button BT can be increased. Further, when such a player can operate the operation means in a timely manner within the first period, the player is more confident in operating the effect button BT in a timely manner, and more actively in the first period. It is possible to increase the willingness to operate the production button BT in a timely manner.

  (6) The effect performed when the effect button BT (operation means) is operated with good timing in the first period is performed by the effect display device 11 as a display means for executing the display effect. On the other hand, the effect performed when the effect button BT is operated in the second period is performed by the speaker Sp as sound output means for executing the sound effect.

  In a game arcade where a plurality of gaming machines are installed, it is difficult to recognize whether or not the effect performed by the speaker Sp is a sound output from the gaming machine in which the player himself is playing. On the other hand, it is possible to surely recognize whether or not the effect performed on the effect display device 11 is performed on the gaming machine in which the player himself is playing. That is, when the effect button BT is operated in a timely manner within the first period, the effect (operation effect) is performed in a manner that is easier to recognize than when the effect button BT is operated within the second period. In this way, by enhancing the merit when the production button BT is operated in a timely manner within the first period, the production button BT can be ambiguously operated in a timely manner within the first period.

  (7) Even if the voice effect (second operation effect) is executed by operating the effect button BT (operation means) within the second period, the effect content of the voice effect can be inferred from the actual control state. It may not be content. For this reason, even a player who is not good at operating the production button BT in a timely manner within the first period is not satisfied only by operating the production button BT in the second period. The willingness to operate the production button BT in a timely manner within one period can be increased.

  (8) The winning probability of the big hit lottery cannot be confirmed visually by the player. Therefore, in order to know the winning probability of the jackpot lottery, it must be estimated whether or not a high probability lottery state (winning probability improving state) has occurred. For this reason, the willingness to operate production button BT (operation means) can be raised in the 1st period and the 2nd period.

  (9) As a gaming machine provided with operation means such as a production button BT among general pachinko gaming machines, for example, a gaming machine described in JP 2011-234949 A (hereinafter referred to as “second conventional gaming”). Called "machine"). In the second conventional gaming machine, the mini game 1 to the mini game 3 are configured to be executable, and the operation mode of the operation unit for deriving the result in various mini games and the difficulty level of the operation mode of the operation unit are set. It is different. Specifically, in the second conventional gaming machine, the difficulty level of the operation mode is increased in the order of minigame 1 <minigame 2 <minigame 3. In this way, by varying the difficulty level of the operation mode of the operation means in various mini-games, the mini game is being enjoyed in the operation mode of various operation means. By the way, even if the difficulty of the operation mode of the operation means varies depending on the type of the mini game, if the result obtained by the player is the same as the derived result, the mini game with high difficulty may be avoided. There is. As described above, there is a possibility that the player may avoid operating the operation means by changing the operation mode of the operation means.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probability that the voice effect (second operation effect) is executed with the effect content (second result) that can specify the game state increases as the cumulative number of coins increases. For this reason, if the cumulative number of coins increases by operating the effect button BT (operation means) in the first period, the possibility that the game state can be estimated from the effect contents of the voice effect increases. Thereby, in addition to operating the production button BT in the second period, the willingness to operate the production button BT in the first period can be increased. In addition, the operation of the effect button BT in each period can be further enjoyed by the entanglement between the cumulative number of coins and the selection rate of the effect contents of the voice effect.

  (10) Even if the production button BT (operation means) is operated in the first period, the cumulative number of coins may decrease. That is, when the production button BT is operated in the first period, it may be difficult to determine the production content that can specify the game state as the production content of the voice production. For this reason, when the production button BT is operated in the first period, it can be enjoyed by paying attention to whether or not the cumulative number of coins increases (or decreases).

  (11) When the cumulative number of coins reaches the specified number, there is a possibility that the effect button BT (operation means) is not operated. However, the result of losing coins is more easily derived on the lower route AR than on the upper route TR. That is, when the effect button BT is not operated in the first period, the cumulative number of coins is more easily reduced than when the effect button BT is operated in the first period. Thereby, even after the cumulative number of coins reaches the specified number, it is possible to maintain a high willingness to operate the effect button BT in the first period.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, when the first period is set without displaying the obstacle SB, and the effect button BT is operated in the first period, the hero takes the jump route The operation may be performed so as to pass along the JR, and the effect may be developed so that the hero jumps to the display position of the box image displayed above the hero. In this case, the first period is when the positional relationship between the main character and the box image is a predetermined positional relationship.

  In the above embodiment, the effects may be developed in such a manner that the effect buttons BT are operated with good timing in the first two periods. For example, when the obstacle button BT is operated in a timely manner in the first period, the main character is moved to the upper side of the first obstacle SB. Also good. Further, when the effect button BT is operated in a timely manner in the second first period, the hero may be moved above the second obstacle SB. Incidentally, when the production button BT is operated with good timing in the first period of the first time, and when the production button BT is not operated with good timing in the second period of the first time, one is displayed. You may perform the effect that a hero falls from the obstruction SB of eyes.

  In the above embodiment, for example, by pressing and holding the production button BT, the main character may appear to run faster than usual. In this case, the main character image Pa is displayed in the traveling direction (in the above embodiment, the right direction of the effect display device 11) from the normal direction, and the main character image Pa is attached to the main character image Pa so that the main character runs faster than usual. You may make it appear to be. In this case, it is preferable that the background image HG is also displayed by moving faster than usual from the right side to the left side of the effect display device 11. In addition, when performing an effect that makes the hero seem to run faster than usual, the probability that the obstacle SB is displayed is increased, and whether the hero has reached the obstacle SB by running faster. You may show it like this. Thus, by increasing the variation of the production, the interest can be improved and the willingness to operate the production button BT can be further enhanced.

In the above embodiment, the specified number is not “75”, but may be “1”, “50”, or “99”.
-In the said embodiment, it is not necessary to change the determination aspect of the production content of a voice production according to the cumulative number of coins.

  In the above embodiment, the effect performed when the effect button BT is operated in the first period and the effect performed when the effect button BT is operated in the second period are the same effect device. It may be configured to be performed. For example, any effect may be configured to be performed by the effect display device 11.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, you may add completion | finish conditions established with the frequency | count of execution of a symbol variation game as completion | finish conditions of a high probability lottery state. For example, when a high probability lottery state occurs after the big hit game ends, the execution of the symbol variation game with the predetermined number of times of probability improvement is completed without winning the big hit lottery after the big hit game ends, You may comprise so that completion | finish conditions of a high probability lottery state may be materialized. The probability improvement count may be the same as the entrance rate improvement count, or may be less or greater than the entrance rate improvement count.

  In the above-described embodiment, the possibility that the running symbol variation game will be a big hit (hit big hit expectation) may be notified according to the cumulative number of coins and the effect contents of the voice effect. In addition, the event that can be specified by the cumulative number of coins and the production contents of the voice effect is not limited to the probability of winning a big hit or the possibility that a high-probability lottery state has occurred. There may be a possibility that there is a symbol variation game that is a big hit among the symbol variation games being played. In the case of such a configuration, the control signal (so-called so-called so-called so-called so-called control signal) can be used to specify the contents of the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended so that the presentation control CPU 31a can identify the contents of the symbol variation game whose execution is suspended. The prefetch command) is preferably output from the main control CPU 30a to the effect control CPU 31a.

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that the effect which alert | reports to a player that it is a 1st period may be performed during the setting of a 1st period. In this case, the effect device (for example, the effect display device 11) in which the effect of notifying the player that the period is the first period functions as the first period notification unit. Further, during the setting of the second period, it may be configured to perform an effect of notifying the player that the period is the second period. In this case, the effect device (for example, the effect display device 11) in which the effect of notifying the player that the period is the second period functions as the second period notification unit. When configured as described above, since it becomes easy to recognize which one of the first period and the second period is set, it becomes easier for the player to operate the effect button BT (operation means) in a timely manner. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the willingness to operate the production button BT without knowing at what timing the production button BT should be operated. Furthermore, the curiosity of the player as to what will happen if the production button BT is operated can increase the willingness to operate the production button BT.

  In the above embodiment, the content of the voice effect (the second result derived from the second operation effect) causes the game state to be advantageous for the player, that is, a high-probability lottery state is generated. It may be configured so that the player is not notified of the fact. In other words, the production content BE10 that can be selected only during the occurrence of the high probability lottery state does not have to be provided as the production content of the voice production. In such a configuration, if the presentation button BT (operation means) is not operated in a timely manner in the first period, it is not notified that the gaming state is advantageous to the player. For this reason, it is expected that a player who is good at operating the effect button BT in a timely manner will select to operate the effect button BT in the first period of the first period and the second period. . For this reason, it is possible to easily entertain the game in an operation mode in which the effect button BT is operated with good timing in the first period.

  In the above embodiment, the second period may not be longer than the first period. For example, the period may be the same length as the first period, or may be a period shorter than the first period.

  -In the said embodiment, you may set so that a 1st period and a 2nd period may overlap. In this case, when the effect button BT is operated in a period in which the first period and the second period overlap (overlapping period), an effect that the hero jumps and coins increase or decrease (first operation effect) And, any of the voice effects (second operation effects) may be executed.

  In the above embodiment, the hero may jump in accordance with the operation of the production button BT, but the hero cannot pass above the obstacle SB and may pass below the obstacle SB. There may be. Furthermore, the voice effect may be executed based on the operation of the effect button BT or may not be executed.

  In the above embodiment, when the effect button BT is operated once in the second period, the second and subsequent effects buttons BT are operated in the second period until the symbol variation game ends. Based on this, the voice production may not be executed.

  In the above embodiment, an invalid period in which the operation of the effect button BT is not valid may be set based on the operation of the effect button BT in the first period or the second period. In such a configuration, in order to operate the effect button BT in a timely manner in the first period, even if the effect button BT is continuously operated at an interval shorter than the invalid period (so-called repeated hitting), The possibility that the production button BT cannot be operated within one period can be increased. As a result, it is possible to increase the willingness to operate the effect button BT with good timing and to increase the joy when the effect button BT can be operated with good timing in the first period.

-In above-mentioned embodiment, you may comprise so that a 2nd period may be set continuously to a 1st period only in any one before and after a 1st period.
In the above embodiment, the first period and the second period may be set with an interval.

In the above embodiment, the player may not be notified that the high probability lottery state has occurred due to the cumulative number of coins.
-In the above embodiment, when determining the production contents of the voice production, whether or not it is suggested that the production contents of the voice production suggest that a high-probability lottery state is occurring, and when the lottery is won The contents of the voice effects may be determined from the contents BE8 to BE10. Further, when the lottery is not won, the voice production effect contents may be determined from the production contents BE1 to BE7.

  In the above embodiment, it is not necessary to configure so that the advantage of the displayed box image changes in the upper route TR and the lower route AR, and the box image is randomly selected regardless of the types of the routes TR and AR. You may comprise so that it may be displayed.

In the above embodiment, the cumulative number of coins may be increased or decreased only when the effect button BT is operated in the first period.
In the above embodiment, the cumulative number of coins may not be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, when acquiring coins, the number of coins to be acquired is numerically displayed by displaying an image showing the coins as many as the number of coins to be acquired, without displaying the number of acquired coins in numbers. May be displayed. Similarly, when coins are lost, even if the number of lost coins is not displayed numerically, the number of lost coins can be numerically displayed by displaying the number of lost coins so that the image of the coin is dropped. It may be displayed.

In the above embodiment, the cumulative number of coins may be displayed as a number.
-In the said embodiment, you may change the kind of jackpot. For example, a plurality of types of jackpots in which the open state and the closed state of the jackpot device 20 in the jackpot game are different may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, and the speaker Sp may be controlled by dedicated CPUs. At this time, each CPU may be provided on a single control board, or may be provided on a different control board. Further, along with the provision of each CPU, a ROM or a RAM managed by each CPU may be provided.
