Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “pachinko machine”) which is a kind of gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
In FIG. 1, an effect display device 11 as a display device having a liquid crystal display type image display unit GH is disposed in the center of a game board 10 of a pachinko gaming machine. Also, on the lower left side of the game board 10, a first special figure display H1 as an 8-segment type symbol display means and a second special figure display H2 as an 8-segment type symbol display means are adjacent. . In addition, in the first special symbol display device H1 and the second special graphic display device H2, a symbol variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of symbols are varied and displayed. In the effect display device 11, a display effect related to the symbol variation game performed on the first special figure display H1 or the second special figure display H2 is performed. Specifically, in the effect display device 11, a display effect based on a fluctuating image (or image display) and a symbol variation game in which a symbol combination is displayed by varying a plurality of types of symbols in a plurality of columns are performed.

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

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, the first special figure display H1 and the second special figure display H2 include one special corresponding to the lottery result of the big hit lottery from among a plurality of special drawings (201 types in the present embodiment). A symbol is selected, and the selected special symbol is individually confirmed and stopped when the symbol variation game ends. The 201 types of special symbols are classified into 200 types of jackpot symbols (corresponding to the jackpot display result) that can recognize jackpots, and one type of outlier symbol that can recognize a hit. When the jackpot symbol is displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game. The jackpot game of this embodiment will be described in detail later.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 includes 8 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] for each column. Various numbers are displayed as decorative designs. In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 is configured with a display area larger than the first special figure display H1 and the second special figure display H2, and the decorative design is far more than the special design. Is displayed larger. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or the loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 11. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the effect display device 11 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination ([222] [777] or the like). The symbol combination that can recognize this jackpot becomes a jackpot symbol combination (hit symbol) by a decorative symbol. When the big hit symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state, the player is given a big hit game after the end of the symbol variation game. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols of all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed on the effect display device 11 are of different types, or when the symbols of one column are different from the symbols of the other two columns, in principle, the symbol combination ( [678] [122] [767], etc.) can be recognized. The symbol combination that can recognize this deviation is a symbol combination (outlier symbol) that is out of the decorative symbol. In addition, when a predetermined symbol combination ([123] [456] in the present embodiment) is displayed among out-of-order symbol combinations, it can be recognized that a predetermined jackpot game is awarded. This symbol combination is a symbol combination of chances (chance symbol) that suggests a possibility that a probability variation state in which the probability of jackpot determination is low probability to high probability is given.

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

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

  Further, a normal symbol display H10 composed of two LEDs is disposed at the lower left of the game board 10 and below the first special figure display H1 and the second special figure display H2. In this normal symbol display H10, a symbol combination game (hereinafter referred to as “general symbol game”) that derives one common symbol by varying a plurality of types of ordinary symbols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “common symbol”). Is sometimes displayed). In this embodiment, there are three types of ordinary diagrams in the light emission mode of two LEDs. Specifically, the two LEDs are lit together, only the right LED is lit, only the left LED is lit. Shows multiple types of common maps.

  Note that in the round game, the opening time of the big winning opening 29 is the maximum time because each round game may end when the number of game balls for the maximum number of balls entered. However, the time of “40 ms” that may be set as the opening time of the big winning opening 29 is the number of game balls that enter the big winning opening 29 in one round game, Insufficient time to reach By the way, in the pachinko machine, since the number of game balls fired per minute is set to approximately “100 balls”, the time required to launch one game ball is “600 ms”. In other words, in the round game, the opening time of the big winning opening 29 is 40 ms. This means that in the round game, it is substantially the case that “8 balls”, which is the upper limit of the number of balls entered, are launched and entered. It is impossible. In addition, since the opening time of the special winning opening 29 is 40 ms, in the relevant round game, since the opening does not end before the specified time has elapsed, the round game ends when a predetermined time elapses. Will be.

  From the above, when the special 1 big hit A is awarded, the time from the start of the 11th round game to the end of the 16th round game is a fixed time. That is, the total round game time for six rounds is constant.

Therefore, the time from the start of the fifth round game to the end of the ending time is constant and is “6160 ms”.

  In addition, from the above, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 1 big hit A, a predetermined number of prize balls can be expected in the round game of 1-10 rounds, while the prize balls in the round games of 11-16 rounds can be expected. I can't expect to win. That is, it can be said that it is a 10-round big hit game, and the number of rounds that can be expected is less than the number of rounds (16 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. Similarly, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 1 big hit B, a predetermined number of prize balls can be expected in a round game of 1 to 10 rounds, while a prize ball is expected to be obtained in a round game of 11 to 12 rounds. Can not. That is, the special 1 big hit B can be said to be a big hit game of 10 rounds, and the number of rounds that can be expected to be acquired is smaller than the number of rounds (12 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. In addition, even if the number of rounds to be notified is different for the special 1 big hit B, the number of prize balls that can be expected to be acquired is the same as the special 1 big hit A.

  Further, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 1 big hit C, it can be expected that a prescribed number of prize balls will be obtained in a round game of 1 to 8 rounds. That is, it can be said that the name and reality are 8 rounds of big hit games. On the other hand, the open mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 1 jackpot D can be expected to acquire a specified number of prize balls in round games of 1 to 4 rounds, but cannot expect to acquire prize balls in round games of 5 to 8 rounds. . In other words, even a big hit game having the same number of rounds as the special one big hit C, unlike the special one big hit C, it can be said to be a big hit game of four rounds, and the number of prize balls that can be expected to be obtained is almost half. Become.

  In addition, the opening mode of the big winning opening 29 in the special 1 big hit E and the special 1 big hit F can be expected to obtain a prescribed number of prize balls in round games of 1 to 4 rounds. For this reason, it can be expected that a winning ball equivalent to the special 1 big hit D can be obtained even though the name and reality are 4 round big hit games. In the special 1 big hit E, unlike the special 1 big hit F, a probability variation state is given. Therefore, it can be said that the special one big hit E is a big hit game that is more advantageous to the player than the special one big hit F.

  In addition, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 2 big hit a, it is possible to expect a predetermined number of winning balls in round games of 1 to 16 rounds. In other words, both the name and reality can be said to be a 16-round big hit game. In the present embodiment, a round game having a predetermined time (in the present embodiment, “40 ms”) in which the opening time of the big winning opening 29 in the big hit game is indicated as an unfavorable round game in some cases. In addition, a round game having a longer open time (for example, “25000 ms”) than a disadvantageous round game may be indicated as an advantageous round game.

  In the open mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 2 big hit b, it is possible to expect a specified number of prize balls in a round game of 1 to 12 rounds, but it is not possible to expect to win a prize ball in a round game of 13 to 16 rounds. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that the game is substantially a 12-round jackpot game, and the number of rounds that can be expected to be acquired is smaller than the number of rounds (16 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. And even if the number of rounds (16 rounds) reported to the special 2 big hit a is the same as the special 2 big hit a, the number of prize balls that can be expected to be obtained is smaller than the special 2 big hit a.

  In the open mode of the special winning opening 29 at the special 2 jackpot c, a specified number of prize balls can be expected in round games of 1 to 8 rounds, but no prize balls can be expected in round games of 9 to 16 rounds. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that the game is substantially a big hit game of 8 rounds, and the number of rounds that can be expected is less than the number of rounds (16 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. In addition, even if the number of rounds (16 rounds) to be notified is the same as the special 2 big hit a and the special 2 big hit b, the special 2 big hit c is an award that can be expected more than the special 2 big hit a and the special 2 big hit b. The number of balls is small.

  Further, in the open mode of the special winning opening 29 at the special 2 big hit d, it is possible to expect to obtain a specified number of prize balls in a round game of 1 to 12 rounds. That is, it can be said that it is a 12-round big hit game in both name and reality. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the special 2 big hit d can be expected to be obtained as the special 2 big hit b (substantially 12 rounds), although the number of rounds is smaller than the special 2 big hit b (16 rounds). The number of prize balls is the same. In addition, the special 2 big hit d has more prize balls than the special 2 big hit c (substantial 8 rounds), although the number of rounds to be notified is smaller than the special 2 big hit c (16 rounds). It has been reversed.

  In the open mode of the big winning opening 29 in the special 2 jackpot e, a specified number of prize balls can be expected in round games of 1 to 8 rounds, but no prize balls can be expected in round games of 9 to 12 rounds. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that the game is substantially a big hit game of 8 rounds, and the number of rounds that can be expected to win a prize ball is smaller than the number of rounds (12 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. For this reason, even if the number of rounds to be notified of the special 2 big hit e is the same as that of the special 2 big hit d, the number of prize balls that can be expected to be obtained is smaller than that of the special 2 big hit d. The special 2 big hit e is the same as the special 2 big hit c (substantial 8 rounds), although the number of rounds notified is smaller than the special 2 big hit c (16 rounds). It has become.

  In addition, in the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 2 big hit f, it is expected that a specified number of prize balls can be obtained in round games of 1 to 6 rounds, but no prize ball can be expected in round games of 7 to 12 rounds. . That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that it is substantially a big hit game of 6 rounds, and the number of rounds that can be expected to win a prize ball is smaller than the number of rounds (12 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. Therefore, even if the number of rounds to be notified is the same as the special 2 big hit d and the special 2 big hit e, the special 2 big hit f has a number of winning balls that can be expected more than the special 2 big hit d and the special 2 big hit e. Few.

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

  In the open mode of the special winning opening 29 in the special 2 big hit h, it is expected that a predetermined number of prize balls can be obtained in the round game of 1 to 6 rounds, but no prize ball can be expected in the round games of 7 to 8 rounds. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, it can be said that it is substantially a big hit game of 6 rounds, and the number of rounds that can be expected to win a prize ball is smaller than the number of rounds (8 rounds) notified by the round notification lamp 51. For this reason, even if the number of rounds to be notified is the same as the special 2 big hit g (8 rounds), the special 2 big hit h has fewer prize balls than the special 2 big hit g (8 rounds). The special 2 big hits h have the same number of winning balls as the special 2 big hits f (12 rounds), although the number of rounds to be notified is smaller than the special 2 big hits f (12 rounds). It has become.

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

  Moreover, the opening mode of the special winning opening 29 at the special 2 big hit j and the special 2 big hit k can expect to obtain a specified number of prize balls in round games of 1 to 4 rounds. For this reason, it can be expected that a winning ball equivalent to the special 2 big hit i can be obtained even though the name and reality are 4 round big hit games. In the special 2 big hit j, unlike the special 2 big hit k, the probability variation state is given. Therefore, it can be said that the special big hit j is a big hit game that is more advantageous to the player than the special big two hit k.

  The opening mode of the special 1 big hit E is the same as the opening mode of the special 1 big hit F, and the production mode during the big hit game is also the same. In addition, the status of giving the variable state is the same as the state of changing given after the big hit game is completed until at least 100 symbol variation games are completed. For this reason, at least after the big hit game is finished, until the 100 symbol variation games are finished, it is impossible to determine from the appearance whether the probability variation state is given (that is, it is concealed). The same applies to the special 2 big hit j and the special 2 big hit k.

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 11, the variation pattern includes a variation pattern P1 for a big hit effect determined when a special 1 big hit A to a special 1 big hit D or a special 2 big hit a to a special 2 big hit i, and a special 1 There is a variation pattern P2 for mode transition effect determined when the big hit E, the special 1 big hit F, the special 2 big hit j, and the special 2 big hit k are given. In addition, the fluctuation pattern is formed as a reach, and after the reach effect is performed, the change pattern P11 is used as an outlier reach effect, and the change pattern is used as an outage effect without forming a reach. There are P21 and P22.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern is in a non-variable short state, when a special 1 big hit A to a special 1 big hit D or a special 2 big hit a to a special 2 big hit i is given, the big hit game ends after the big hit game ends. There are variation patterns P3, P12, and P23 for the ultra-shortening effect that are executed only until the first variation game that is held at the time is executed. Note that the fluctuation pattern P3 is determined when the big hit, the fluctuation pattern P12 is determined when the reach determination is won, and the fluctuation pattern P23 is determined when the reach is not reached. In addition, the production time specified by any of the variation patterns P3, P12, and P23 is the same time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the special symbol input process. As shown in FIG. 12, first, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 25 (step S1). That is, in step S1, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a first detection signal output when the first start port sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of step S1 is negative, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step S5. When the determination result of step S1 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the first special figure start hold storage number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number 4 (step S2). ). When the determination result of step S2 is negative (first special figure start hold storage number = 4), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to step 5.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P1 for the big hit effect when the special one big hit A to the special one big hit D or the special two big hit a to the special two big hit i is determined. When determining the special 1 big hit E, the special 1 big hit F, the special 2 big hit j, and the special 2 big hit k, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern P2 for the mode transition effect.

  In addition, the main control CPU 30a is stored in the big hit game when the special one big hit A to the special one big hit D or the special two big hit a to the special two big hit i is given in the non-variable state. When the first variation game corresponding to the number of one special figure starting reserved memory is continuously executed after the big hit game is finished, the variation pattern P3 for the super shortening effect is determined. When the second variation game is executed, the variation pattern is determined as usual thereafter.

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

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step S19 is negative (not the big hit), reach determination is performed to determine whether or not to execute the reach effect (step S24). In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c during the process of step S24 matches the reach determination value.

  If the determination result in step S24 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a displays a missed symbol on the first special figure display H1 (second special figure display H2 in the case of the second variation game). ) Is determined as the final stop symbol to be confirmed and stopped (step S25). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the variation patterns for the outlier reach effect (step S26). The main control CPU 30a is stored in the big hit game when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given in the non-changing state. In the case where the first variation game corresponding to the number of the one special figure starting reserved memory is continuously executed after the big hit game is finished, the variation pattern P12 for the super shortening effect is determined. When the second variation game is executed, the variation pattern is determined as usual thereafter.

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

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S24 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a displays the off symbol in the first special figure display H1 (second special figure display in the case of the second variable game). In H2), it is determined as the final stop symbol to be displayed for final stop (step S28). Next, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern for the offending effect (step S29). In the present embodiment, when the total number of the first special figure start hold memory number and the second special figure start hold memory number is “3” or less, the fluctuation pattern P21 of the normal fluctuation is determined, and “4 If it is greater than or equal to, the variation pattern P22 of the shortening variation is determined. In the shortened variation, the production time is set shorter than the normal variation. The main control CPU 30a is stored in the big hit game when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given in the non-changing state. In the case where the first variation game corresponding to the number of one special figure starting reserved memory is to be continuously executed after the big hit game, the variation pattern P23 for the super shortening effect is determined. When the second variation game is executed, the variation pattern is determined as usual thereafter.

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

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S13 is affirmative (when the second special figure start hold storage number> 0), the main control CPU 30a displays a special symbol variation processing flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. Is set to a value [1] indicating that the second variable game is to be executed (step S30). Next, the main control CPU 30a subtracts “1” from the number of the second special figure start reserved memory number (step S31), and is associated with the second special figure start reserved memory number in the main control RAM 30c. The random number for hit determination, the random number for reach determination, the random number for fluctuation pattern distribution, and the random number for jackpot type stored in the storage area are acquired (step S32).

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

  Hereinafter, processing related to the second variation game is executed based on the acquired random number, but since it is the same as the processing (step S19 to step S29) in the first variation game, detailed description is omitted.

  By executing such a special symbol start process, when both the first special figure start reserved memory number and the second special figure start reserved memory number are stored, the main control CPU 30a Precisely execute a variable game. The second start winning opening 27 is open when the variable speed state (entrance rate improving state) is given, so that the open / close blades 26 are open and the game balls are easy to win. In the probability variation state or the variation state to which the rate improvement state is given, the second variation game is easily executed continuously.

  In addition, the flow down path Y2 when winning at the second start winning opening 27 is different from the flow down path Y1 when winning at the first start winning opening 25, and if the improved entrance rate is given, The second start winning opening 27 is easier to win than the first starting winning opening 25. For this reason, during a state where the winning rate is improved, the game ball is usually won only at the second start winning opening 27.

  And, when the big win is achieved in the second variation game, the ratio of whether or not the probability variation state is given is not different from that in the first variation game, but there are many substantial rounds that can be expected to win prize balls. A big hit game is easily given. Specifically, a special 2 big hit a with 16 rounds, a special 2 big hit b with 12 real rounds, and a special 2 big hit d are given with higher probability than other big hit games. ing. In addition, a winning game having a substantial number of rounds equal to or greater than 8 is more likely to be awarded if the winning game is the second winning game than the first changing game. In addition, in the case where a big hit game with a substantial number of rounds of 4 or less is a big hit in the second variable game, the bonus game is awarded with a lower probability than in the first variable game. As a result, when a big hit is achieved in the second variable game, it is possible to expect a prize ball to be obtained more than in the first variable game. Therefore, when a big hit is made when the entrance rate improvement state is given, it is more advantageous for the player than when the entrance rate improvement state is not given.

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

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

  First, the main control CPU 30a starts setting an opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. When the opening time is “0 ms”, the opening time is not set and the opening command is not output.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. The main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 29 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a wins a big prize until the upper limit number (8 in this embodiment) of game balls wins or until a prescribed time predetermined for each round game elapses. Open mouth 29.

  Then, when the special winning opening 29 is closed, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until an interval time predetermined for each round game elapses, and then ends the round game. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached. When the special winning opening 29 is opened, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command indicating the opening of the special winning opening 29 to the effect control board 31. When closing the special winning opening 29, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a closing command indicating the closing of the special winning opening 29 to the effect control board 31.

  When the predetermined number of round games are finished, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a sets (clears) the jackpot flag to [0] and ends the jackpot game. When the ending time is “0 ms”, the ending time is not set and the ending command is not output. When the ending time is “0 ms” and the round game for the specified number of rounds is completed, the main control CPU 30a sets (clears) the big hit flag to [0] and ends the big hit game.

  At this time, the main control CPU 30a sets the probability variation state and the variation state. That is, the main control CPU 30a sets “1” to the probability variation flag indicating that the probability variation state is imparted when the special one big hit A to the special one big hit E and the special two big hit a to the special two big hit j are given. Set. On the other hand, when the special control big hit F and special special big hit k are given to the main control CPU 30a, the main control CPU 30a sets the probability variation flag to “0” and does not set the probability variation state (non-probability variation state). Set).

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

  The main control CPU 30a is a value indicating that when the special 1 big hit F and the special 2 big hit k are given during the variable state, the variable state is provided until a predetermined number of symbol variation games are provided. Set “1”. At this time, when the special 1 big hit F and the special 2 big hit k are given during the variable state, the main control CPU 30a sets the number of remaining variable times to 100.

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

From the above, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment serves as a big hit game execution means for executing a big hit game.
Next, processing related to the normal symbol variation game will be described.

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

  After that, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the normal hit determination random number stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c when the normal figure is not being displayed in a variable manner and not being played per normal figure. Then, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the acquired normal hit determination random number value matches the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b and performs normal hit determination. In the normal state (when “0” is assigned to the operation flag) and in the big hit game, the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (ordinary hit probability) is 16384/65536. . In the variable state (when “1” and “2” are assigned to the operation flag), the probability that the determination result of the normal hit determination is affirmative (normal hit probability) is 65535/65536. In other words, the normal hit probability is high during the variable state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The effect control CPU 31a determines from among the jackpot symbol combinations when the type of jackpot game designated by the special symbol designation command (hit type designation command) is special one big hit A to D or special two big hit a to i. Determine the design. For this reason, when the jackpot symbol combination is displayed as the confirmed symbol, the player can recognize that the probability variation state is given. Further, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the chances when the special jack designation command is specified and the type of jackpot game is special one big hit E, special one big hit F, special two big hit j, or special two big hit k. Determine as.

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

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

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 15, the normal effect mode is an effect mode that is executed (stays) when the variable state is not given. When the effect mode during execution (staying) is the normal effect mode, if the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given, the CPU 31a for effect control After the big hit game ends, the probability variation confirmation mode is set together with the start of the second variable game. Further, when the effect mode being executed is the normal effect mode, if the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k is given, the production control CPU 31a ends the hit game. After that, the probability variation concealment mode is set.

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

  The probability variation confirmation mode is an effect mode that is executed when the variation state and the certain variation state are given. When the effect mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given, the CPU 31a for effect control, Continue the probability change confirmation mode. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the probability change confirmation mode, if the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k is given, the CPU 31a for effect control ends the hit game. After that, set the chance mode.

  The chance mode is an effect mode that is executed when the variable state is given. When the performance mode being executed is the chance mode, if the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given, the production control CPU 31a is surely changed after the big hit game ends. Set the confirmation mode. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the chance mode, if the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k is given, the production control CPU 31a will perform after the winning game ends. Continue the chance mode. In addition, when the effect mode being executed is the chance mode and the variable state ends, the effect control CPU 31a sets the normal effect mode.

  In the present embodiment, when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given in the non-variable short state, after the end of the last advantageous round game in the big hit game. Ending production will be started. In addition, when the first special figure start reserved memory number is stored during the big hit game, the ending effect is the second until the first variable game corresponding to the first special figure start reserved memory number ends or the second It will be executed until the start of the change game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the symbol variation game (first variation game that has been held) based on the number of first special figure start hold memory stored during the big hit game, the special one big hit A to the special one big hit D Whether or not is given can be prefetched. And when special 1 big hit A-special 1 big hit D are put on hold, the production contents of the ending effect are changed.

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

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the prefetch process. When the main control CPU 30a executes the look-ahead process, first, the hit determination random number value acquired in step S4 of the special symbol input process (the hit determination stored in association with the first special figure start pending storage number). The random number) is compared with the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state, and it is determined whether or not both values match (step S51). Since the prefetch command is used only in the probability variation state, it is compared with the jackpot determination value in the probability variation state. When the determination result of step S51 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a recognizes in advance that the symbol variation game based on the detected start-up ball is a big hit.

  If the determination result in step S51 is affirmative, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot type random number acquired in step S4 of the special symbol input process (step S52). Thereby, based on the game ball won this time, the type of jackpot game to be awarded is prefetched. Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs information (in this embodiment, a prefetch command) designating the first special figure start pending storage number and the jackpot game type updated in step S3 (step S53), and prefetch processing Exit. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S51 is negative (in the case of detachment), the main control CPU 30a ends the prefetch process as it is.

  When the prefetch command is input, the effect control CPU 31a stores the prefetch command in the effect control RAM 31c in association with the first special figure start hold storage number specified by the prefetch command. Then, each time the first variation game is executed, the effect control CPU 31a updates (subtracts 1) the first special figure start reserved memory number associated with the prefetch command. As a result, it is possible to recognize the timing at which the first floating game on hold is a big hit, and to recognize the type of the big hit game. Therefore, the main control CPU 30a and the effect control CPU 31a of the present embodiment constitute a prior determination means.

Next, processing for executing the opening effect will be described.
When the special control big hit A to the special one big hit D or the special two big hit a to the special two big hit i are determined when the effect control CPU 31a is in the non-changeable state, when the opening command is input, these big hit games The opening effect corresponding to is executed. In addition, by performing this opening effect, the player can recognize that any one of the big hit games among the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given. . Further, the effect control CPU 31a does not input the opening command when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is determined in the variable state. That is, the opening effect is not executed.

  In addition, when the special control big hit E to the special big hit F or the special big two hit j to the special big two hit k are determined, the effect control CPU 31a executes the opening effects corresponding to these big hit games. Let By executing this opening effect, the player can recognize that any one of the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k is given.

  Next, processing for executing a round effect will be described. The process for executing the round effect is executed when the advantageous round game is executed.

  When the round command is input, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the round game to be executed is an advantageous round game based on the type of jackpot game. When this determination result is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control causes a round effect of effect contents corresponding to the type of jackpot game and the number of rounds to be executed. In an advantageous round game, when the grand prize opening 29 is open, an opening effect is provided to notify that it is open, and when the big prize opening 29 is closed (interval period), it is closed. An interval effect that informs the user of the event is performed. Whether or not the special winning opening 29 is open can be determined by whether or not an opening command indicating that the special winning opening 29 is open is input from the main control CPU 30a.

  Next, processing for executing an ending effect when special 1 big hit E to special 1 big hit F or special 2 big hit j to special 2 big hit k are determined will be described. This process is executed only when the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k is determined.

  When the ending command is input, the effect control CPU 31a, depending on the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k, the ending production for the probability variation secret mode or the ending for the chance mode transition The production is executed. When the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k is given during the non-changeable state, the effect control CPU 31a executes the ending effect for the transition to the probability change secret mode. Then, it is notified that the mode changes to the probability variation concealment mode. On the other hand, when the special 1 big hit E to the special 1 big hit F or the special 2 big hit j to the special 2 big hit k is given during the variable speed state, the effect control CPU 31a executes the ending effect for the chance mode transition, Informs that it will shift to chance mode.

  Next, a process for executing the ending effect when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is determined during the variable speed state will be described. This process is executed in the last advantageous round game. Whether or not it is the last advantageous round game is specified based on the number of rounds indicated by the inputted round command and the type of jackpot game.

  When the special control big hit A to the special one big hit D or the special two big hit a to the special two big hit i is determined during the changing state, the production control CPU 31a determines the number of disadvantageous round games based on the type of the big hit game given. Is identified. Based on the number of disadvantageous round games, the time from the start of the disadvantageous round game to the end of the jackpot game is specified. The time from the start of the disadvantageous round game to the end of the jackpot game is a value obtained by multiplying the round game time “1540 ms” for one round by the number of disadvantageous round games. The effect control CPU 31a sets the specified time as the ending effect execution time.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a informs that the probability variation confirmation mode is set in the specified execution time of the ending effect, and executes a normal ending effect for notifying that the big hit game is ended. In the present embodiment, the contents of the normal ending effect change according to the execution time of the ending effect. For example, the background image and the character image to be displayed are changed every 3 seconds from the start of the ending effect.

  Note that for special 1 big hit C, special 2 big hit a, special 2 big hit d, and special 2 big hit d, the time from the start of the disadvantageous round game to the end of the big hit game is 0 ms, so the ending effect is not executed. It becomes.

  Based on FIG. 17, the ending effect process for executing the ending effect when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is determined in the non-change state. This ending effect process is executed only when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is determined in the non-changeable state. This ending effect process is executed in the last advantageous round game.

  When the ending effect process is started, the effect control CPU 31a includes a symbol variable game that becomes a predetermined big hit among the symbol variable games based on the first special figure start reserved memory number at the start of the last advantageous round game. Whether or not (step S101). That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether the first variable game that is a big hit exists among the first variable games that are held at the start of the last advantageous round game (whether there is a held big hit) ) Determine whether or not. The step S101 will be described in detail. The effect control CPU 31a includes a special 1 big hit A to a special 1 big hit D among the pre-read commands stored in the effect control RAM 31c in association with the first special figure start reserved memory number. It is determined whether or not there is a prefetch command that specifies that has been determined.

  When the determination result of step S101 is affirmative, the CPU 31a for effect control specifies the number of first variable games that are executed until the specified jackpot game is awarded (step S102). When there are a plurality of specified jackpot games, the game with the smallest number of first variable games to be executed before the specified jackpot game is awarded is specified. Further, when the second special figure start reserved memory number is “1” or more, the effect control CPU 31a sets the number of times of the first variable game to be executed until the specified jackpot game is given to “0”. ". That is, when the second special figure start reserved memory number is “1” or more, the second variable game is prioritized after the big hit game is finished, so the first variable game is not executed after the big hit game is finished. For this reason, when the second special figure start reservation storage number is “1” or more, the effect control CPU 31a performs the first variation game that is executed before the exceptionally specified jackpot game is awarded. The number of times is specified as “0”.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S101 is negative, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the first variable game number to be executed after the big hit game is ended based on the first special figure start pending storage number (step S107). That is, even if a new winning ball is not detected at the first start winning opening 25, the first variable game number to be surely executed after the big hit game is specified. When the second special figure start reserved memory number is “1” or more, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the first special figure start reserved memory number as “0”. That is, when the second special figure start reserved memory number is “1” or more, the second variable game is prioritized after the big hit game is finished, so the first variable game is not executed after the big hit game is finished. For this reason, when the second special figure start reserved memory number is “1” or more, the production control CPU 31a exceptionally specifies the first special figure start reserved memory number as “0”.

  When step S102 or step S107 ends, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the number of disadvantageous round games based on the type of jackpot game (step S103). Next, the effect control CPU 31a specifies an execution time for executing the ending effect (step S104). Specifically, the CPU 31a for effect control first specifies the time from the start of the disadvantageous round game to the end of the big hit game based on the number of disadvantageous round games specified in step S103. Note that the time from the start of the disadvantageous round game to the end of the jackpot game is a value obtained by multiplying the round game time “1540 ms” for one round by the number of disadvantageous round games.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the time until the first variable game for the number of games is completed based on the first variable game number specified in step S102 or step S107. If the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is determined in the non-variable short state, the number stored at the start of the last advantageous round game is stored. The first variation game that is executed based on the number of reserved special chart start and hold is executed based on the variation patterns P3, P12, and P23 for the ultra-shortening effect. For the variation patterns P3, P12, and P23 for the ultra-shortening effect, a predetermined common effect time is set regardless of whether or not the big hit determination is made or not. Specifically, “1000 ms” is set as the production time. For this reason, the CPU 31a for effect control first times the number of games specified in step S102 or step S107 by the time obtained by multiplying the first variable game number specified in step S102 or step S107 by the effect time “1000 ms”. It is specified as the execution time until the end of the variable game.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a sums the time from the start of the disadvantageous round game to the end of the jackpot game and the time until the first variable game for the number of games specified in step S102 or step S107 ends. The execution time of the ending effect is specified.

  Next, the effect control CPU 31a determines the effect contents of the ending effect (step S105). The contents of the ending effects differ depending on whether the determination result in step S101 is affirmative or negative. That is, the content of the ending effect is changed depending on whether there is a big hit in the hold.

  Specifically, when there is no on-hold big hit, the effect control CPU 31a determines a normal ending effect that notifies the end of the big hit game. In the present embodiment, the contents of the normal ending effect change according to the execution time of the ending effect. For example, the background image and the character image to be displayed are changed every 3 seconds from the start of the ending effect. By executing this normal ending effect, it is possible to notify the end of the big hit game. Further, in a non-variable state, the second variable game in which a big hit game advantageous to the player may be awarded is shifted from a state where it is difficult to execute to the variable state, and the second variable game is executed. You can recognize that it will be easier. It can also be recognized that the mode changes to the probability change confirmation mode. For this reason, the second variable game advantageous to the player can be executed, so that the big hit game can be expected to continuously become a big hit in a short time, and a large amount of prize balls can be expected to be obtained. In addition, since the content changes step by step according to the execution time of the ending effect, even if it ends in the middle, the player does not feel uncomfortable. Further, even when the second variable game is started halfway and the ending effect is ended, the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  On the other hand, when there is an on-hold big hit, the effect control CPU 31a specifies a special ending effect that notifies that the big hit game is continuously given during the execution time of the ending effect. In the present embodiment, an effect similar to the interval effect executed in the interval period of the advantageous round game is executed continuously or repeatedly. Thereby, the player can recognize that the big hit game is continued without ending. Further, since it is not notified that the big hit game has ended, it is possible to conceal that the winning in the first variable game has been won.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a causes the ending effect specified in step S105 to be executed in the execution time specified in step S104 (step S106). When the second variable game is started during the execution of the ending effect, the effect control CPU 31a interrupts the ending effect halfway and preferentially executes the second variable game. From the above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a and the effect control CPU 31a constitute an effect executing means for executing a game effect.

Based on FIG. 18, the execution time of an ending effect is demonstrated with the effect | action.
FIG. 18A shows the execution time of the ending effect when the special big hit A is determined during the non-variable state. Also, in FIG. 18 (a), it is described that the first special figure start reserved memory number is “4” at the start of the last advantageous round game (10 rounds). Further, the explanation will be made assuming that there is no on-hold jackpot.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the last advantageous round game (10 rounds) ends, and the normal ending effect starts from the start of the first disadvantageous round game. This ending effect will be continued without ending even if the special 1 big hit A ends. This ending effect is continued until all the first variable games based on the first special figure start reserved memory number “4” stored at the start of the last advantageous round game (10 rounds) are completed. It will be.

  In this way, during the non-variable state, the ending effect when the special 1 big hit A is determined continues until all the disadvantaged round game and the first variable game executed after the special big hit A ends. To do. That is, when the ending effect is finished, all the first variation games that have been put on hold are finished. For this reason, when the probability change confirmation mode is started, it is possible to prevent the player from wanting to reduce the number of executions of the first variable game that has been put on hold, and to quickly execute the second variable game. If the game ball has to be awarded to the second start winning opening 27, the player will not be impatient. As a result, the ending effect can be more enjoyed, and after the ending effect is finished, it is not necessary to shoot the game ball in the game.

  In addition, during the ending production, the game ball is usually stopped. At the same time, no change state is given during the big hit game. For this reason, even if the flow-down path for winning the game ball to the second start winning opening 27 and the operation gate 24 and the flow-down path for winning the game ball to the big winning opening 29 are the same, during the ending production There is little possibility that the number of second special figure start hold memory increases. In addition, for example, even when the second variable game is preferentially executed, the content of the normal ending effect is changed every time, which makes the player feel uncomfortable. There is no fear.

  In addition, since the flow-down path for winning the game ball to the first start winning opening 25 and the flow-down path for winning the game ball to the big winning opening 29 are different, the first during the ending production or held There is little possibility that the first special figure start reserved memory number will increase during the execution of the variable game. Further, since the disadvantageous round game is executed during the ending effect, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing the number of disadvantageous round games.

  FIG. 18B shows the execution time of the ending effect when the special big hit C is determined during the non-changeable state. Further, in FIG. 18B, it is described that the first special figure start reserved memory number is “3” at the start of the last advantageous round game (8 rounds). Further, the explanation will be made assuming that there is no on-hold jackpot.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, when the last advantageous round game (8 rounds) is completed, the normal ending effect is started. That is, this ending effect is started from the end of the special 1 big hit C. This ending effect is continued until all the first variable games based on the first special figure start reserved memory number stored at the start of the last advantageous round game (8 rounds) are completed. .

  In this way, the ending effect when the special big hit C is determined during the non-variable state is continued until all the first variable games executed after the special big hit C are completed. That is, when the ending effect is finished, all the first variation games that have been put on hold are finished. For this reason, when the probability change confirmation mode is started, it is possible to prevent the player from wanting to reduce the number of executions of the first variable game that has been put on hold, and to quickly execute the second variable game. If the game ball has to be awarded to the second start winning opening 27, the player will not be impatient. As a result, the ending effect can be more enjoyed, and after the ending effect is finished, it is not necessary to shoot the game ball in the game.

  FIG. 18C shows the execution time of the ending effect when the special big hit A is determined during the non-changeable state. Also, in FIG. 18 (c), it is described that the first special figure start pending storage number is “4” at the start of the last advantageous round game (10 rounds). Further, the description will be made assuming that the big hit game is given in the first variable game executed for the fourth time after the special big hit A is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 18C, the last advantageous round game (10 rounds) ends, and the special ending effect is started from the start of the first disadvantageous round game. This ending effect will be continued without ending even if the special 1 big hit A ends. Then, in this ending effect, the first variable game based on the first special figure start reserved memory number stored at the start of the last advantageous round game (10 rounds) is executed, and the big hit game is given in advance. This is continued until the determined first variation game is completed. Since this special ending effect is executed in the same manner as the interval effect in the round game, it is possible for the kite to appear as if the big hit game is not ended. For this reason, the player is not discouraged because he / she does not recognize that he / she has won in the first variation game, despite being in a probabilistic state. In addition, since it is possible to make it seem as if the big hit game is continued and more prize balls can be obtained than usual, it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the special control big hit A to the special one big hit D or the special two big hit a to the special two big hit i is given when the variable state is not given, the effect control CPU 31a is after the big hit game is finished. From the end of the first variable game based on the first special figure start reserved memory number stored during the big hit game, an ending effect indicating that the big hit game has ended is executed. Thereby, even when the first variable game is executed when the variable state is given, an ending effect indicating that the big hit game has ended is executed until then. For this reason, the player pays attention to the ending effect, and is not aware that the first variable game is being executed. Therefore, after the ending effect is finished, there is no longer a rush to win the game ball in the second start winning opening 27.

  (2) When the special control big hits A, B, D or the special big two hits b, c, e, f, h, i (specific big hit games) are given, the advantageous round game is all over. Thereafter, the ending effect is executed from the start of the disadvantaged round game to be executed first to the end of the first variable game based on the number of reserved first special figure starting reserved memory. In this way, the ending effect starts after the last advantageous round that the player recognizes as the final round of the substantial jackpot game ends, so that the disadvantaged round game is executed. Hateful. In addition, since the ending effect is executed after the disadvantageous round game is executed after the final round of the substantial jackpot game is completed, the effect is not delayed and the player is not caused to wait unnecessarily.

  (3) The first flow down path Y1 where at least a part of the game balls are guided to the first start winning opening 25 is the second flow down path Y2 where at least a part of the game balls are guided to the second start winning opening 27. Is different. Therefore, when the variable speed state is not given, the game ball is won at the second start winning port 27 because the game ball is launched into the first flow path Y1 in order to win the game ball at the first start winning port 25. Never happen. That is, when shifting from the non-variable state to the variable state, the second special figure start reserved memory number does not exist.

  (4) When the special control big hit A to special big hit D or special big hit a to special big hit i is given, the main control CPU 30a is only for executing the ending effect when all the round games are finished. End the jackpot game without time. Thereby, even if it is a case where an ending effect is performed during the 1st change game, the execution time of an ending effect can be shortened. For this reason, when there is an on-hold big hit, it can be made to seem as if the big hit game continues. Further, game efficiency can be improved by eliminating the ending time during which the special winning opening 29 is not opened or the symbol variation game is not executed.

  (5) When performing the normal ending effect, the effect control CPU 31a determines the execution time of the ending effect based on the number of disadvantageous round games and the number of the first variable games that are put on hold. The content of the ending effect is determined (changed) according to the execution time. For this reason, the ending effect of various effect contents can be performed and the variation of a game effect can be increased.

  (6) The main control CPU 30a has a variation for a super shortening effect when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is given when the variable state is not given. Based on the patterns P3, P12, and P23, after the end of the jackpot game, the respective variation times of the first variation game based on the first special figure start reserved memory number stored during the jackpot game are changed in advance. Time. As a result, when a jackpot game is awarded when the variable state is not given, it becomes easier to specify each fluctuation time of the first variable game executed after the end of the jackpot game, and execution of the ending effect Time setting is easy.

  (7) In the case where special 1 big hit A to special 1 big hit D or special 2 big hit a to special 2 big hit i is given when the variable state is not given, the second special figure start reserved memory number is If stored, the second variable game is preferentially executed after the big hit game ends. For this reason, the ending effect is not executed until the first variable game based on the first special figure start reserved memory number stored during the big hit game is ended, and is ended with the end of the big hit game.

  (8) The effect control CPU 31a is provided with the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i, which is an opportunity for giving the changed state when the changed state is not given. In the case where there is an on-hold big hit, an ending effect is executed after the end of the big hit game and before the end of the first variable game that is the prefetched big hit. As a result, when the variable state is given, even if the first variable game is likely to be given a disadvantageous big hit compared to the case where the second variable game is a big hit, In the meantime, an ending effect indicating that the big hit game has ended is executed. For this reason, the player pays attention to the ending effect, and is not aware that the first variable game is being executed. Therefore, after the ending effect is finished, there is no longer a rush to win the game ball in the second start winning opening 27. Thereby, it is possible to give the player a margin, to pay attention to the game effect, and to improve the interest of the game.

  (9) The production content of the normal ending production is changed as the execution time elapses. As a result, the number of disadvantageous round games and the number of first variable games are different, so even if the execution time of the ending effect is not constant, it does not make it seem as if the ending effect has ended in the middle, and it feels strange Don't give. Further, even when the second variable game is preferentially executed in the middle and the ending effect ends, the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  (10) In the special ending effect, an effect similar to the interval effect executed in the interval period of the advantageous round game is continuously or repeatedly executed. Therefore, the player can recognize that the big hit game will continue without ending. In this way, since two big hit games can be shown as one big hit game, even if a special one big hit D is given, the big hit game advantageous to the player (for example, a special big hit game (for example, a special big hit game) It can be made as if a big hit A) was given. Further, since it is not notified that the big hit game has ended, it is possible to conceal that the winning in the first variable game has been won.

  (11) When the second variable game is put on hold, the first variable game number specified in step S102 or step S107 is set to “0”. Thereby, when the second variable game is preferentially executed, the ending effect can be shortened to entertain the second variable game.

  (12) The flow-down path Y1 for winning the game ball to the first start winning opening 25 and the flow-down path Y2 for winning the game ball to the big winning opening 29 are different. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the number of the first special figure start reserved memory increases during the execution of the first variable game during the ending effect or during the execution.

  (13) During the ending production, it is executed during the disadvantageous round game or the first variable game. For this reason, normally, the launch of the game ball can be stopped. At the same time, during the big hit game, it was made not to give the variable state. Therefore, even if the flow down path for winning the game ball to the second start winning opening 27 and the operation gate 24 and the flow down path for winning the game ball to the big winning opening 29 are the same, the first flow during the ending production is performed. 2 It is possible to reduce the possibility that the number of special figure start hold memory increases.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  (21) When the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is determined in the non-changeable state, it is stored at the start of the last advantageous round game. The first variation game that is executed based on the first special figure start reserved memory number is executed based on the variation patterns P3, P12, and P23 for the ultra-shortening effect. The variation patterns P3, P12, and P23 for the ultra-shortening effect are set to have a shorter production time than the variation pattern for the shortening effect. That is, the effect time specified by the variation pattern for the ultra-shortening effect is set to the shortest time among the effect times of the symbol variation game. Therefore, when there is a pending jackpot game, the next jackpot game can be quickly given, and the player can be made to think that the jackpot game is continuous, or can be thought of as one connected jackpot game. Further, the symbol variation game is executed during the big hit game, so that it is possible to prevent the game from being delayed. Further, even if there is no on-hold big hit, it is not possible to notice that the first variable game that has been put on hold is quickly finished and executed.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
-In the above embodiment, the time for executing the ending effect is varied after the end of the jackpot game according to the number of games specified in step S102 or step S107, but the end of the jackpot game regardless of the number of games. The same time may be set as the execution time of the ending effect later.

  As the execution time of the ending effect after the end of the big hit game, for example, a time during which the first variable game is executed may be set based on the first special figure start reserved memory number that is the upper limit number. In the present embodiment, the time for which the first variable game is executed based on the first special figure start hold memory number that is the upper limit number is the upper limit number “4” for the change time “1000 ms” per time. The multiplied time becomes “4000 ms”. As a result, when a big hit game that is an opportunity for giving the winning rate improvement state is given when the winning rate improvement state is not given, a predetermined variation time is set after the end of the big hit game. For this reason, it is easy to specify the execution time of the ending effect, and the ending effect having a predetermined content can be executed.

  It should be noted that each variation time of the first variable game executed after the end of the jackpot game is the jackpot game if all the first variation games are completed within the execution time of the ending effect after the end of the jackpot game. It may or may not be matched with the execution time of the ending effect after the end of.

  In the case of matching, for example, after the end of the big hit game, the change time of the first variable game that is executed first or last is set as the first special figure start hold memory number (if there is a hold big hit, It may be lengthened according to the number of games). That is, the number of the first variable games that are held (there is a big hit in the hold) so that it is the same as the changing time that the symbol changing game is executed based on the first special figure start holding memory number that is the upper limit number In this case, it is only necessary to adjust the variation time of the first variation game to be executed by adding (increasing) the time according to the number of games until the big hit). Specifically, when the number of first special figure start reserved memory (the number of games until the game is executed if there is a big hit in the hold) is "3", the first to be executed first The variation time of the variable game is doubled, when it is “2”, it is tripled, and when it is “1”, it is quadrupled.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  -In the above embodiment, when the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit D or the special 2 big hit a to the special 2 big hit i is determined in the non-variable short state, it is stored at the start of the last advantageous round game. The first variation game that is executed based on the first special figure start reserved memory number that has been executed is executed based on the variation patterns P3, P12, and P23 for the ultra-shortening effect, but may not be executed. That is, the symbol variation game may be executed based on the normal variation patterns P1, P2, P11, P21, and P22. In this case, the variation pattern or the production time is specified by the prefetch command, and the execution time of the ending production is determined.

  In the above embodiment, the ending effect process is executed in the last advantageous round game, but it may be any time as long as it is during the big hit game and before the ending effect is executed. For example, it may be at the start of a predetermined round game or at the start of a big hit game.

  -In the above embodiment, at the start of the last advantageous round game, it is determined whether or not there is an on-hold big hit. However, any time may be used as long as it is during the big hit game and before the ending effect is executed. . For example, it may be executed at the start of a predetermined round game or may be executed at the start of a jackpot game.

  In the above embodiment, the first special figure start reserved memory number at the start of the last advantageous round game is specified, but it may be any time as long as it is during the big hit game and before the ending effect is executed. For example, it may be executed at the start of a predetermined round game or may be executed at the start of a jackpot game.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is determined whether or not there is an on-hold jackpot in the ending effect process, but it may not be determined. In this case, the process may proceed to step S107, and the ending effect may be determined to be executed until all the first variable games executed based on the first special figure start reserved memory number are completed.

  In the above embodiment, the second variation game is executed with priority over the first variation game, but it may not be executed with priority. For example, the symbol variation game may be executed in the order of winning.

  In the above embodiment, the flow-down path Y1 for winning the game ball to the first start winning opening 25 and the flow-down path Y2 for winning the game ball to the second start winning opening 27 are different. Also good. For example, a configuration in which the second start winning opening 27 is provided directly below the first starting winning opening 25 may be adopted.

  In the above embodiment, the flow-down path Y1 for winning the game ball to the first start winning opening 25 and the flow-down path Y2 for winning the game ball to the big winning opening 29 are different, but they may be the same. . For example, it is good also as a structure provided with the big prize opening 29 below the 1st start prize opening 25. FIG.

  -In the above embodiment, the game contents of the special 1 big hit A to the special 1 big hit F, for example, the prescribed number of rounds, the actual number of rounds, the order in which the advantageous round game and the disadvantaged round game are performed, and the opening time of the big winning opening 29 are arbitrary. You may change to Also, the interval time in round games, the type of jackpot game, the rate at which the probability variation state is granted, the period during which the probability variation state is granted, the rate at which the variation state is granted, the gaming situation to which the variation state is granted, the variation The period for which the state is given may be changed.

  -In the above embodiment, the game contents of special 2 big hits a to special 2 big hits k, for example, the prescribed number of rounds, the actual number of rounds, the order in which advantageous round games and unfavorable round games are performed, and the opening time of the big winning opening 29 are arbitrary You may change to Also, the interval time in round games, the type of jackpot game, the rate at which the probability variation state is granted, the period during which the probability variation state is granted, the rate at which the variation state is granted, the gaming situation to which the variation state is granted, the variation The period for which the state is given may be changed. However, it is desirable that the player who wins a big hit in the second floating game is more likely to be advantageous to the player than the player who wins a big win in the first floating game.

  In the above embodiment, the content of the normal ending effect changes according to the execution time of the ending effect, but it may be the same content. Moreover, you may preset the production content according to execution time. For example, when the execution time is “0 ms” to “5000 ms”, it is set to execute the first effect content, and when the execution time is “5001 ms” or more, the second effect content is set to be executed. Good. In addition, you may change arbitrarily the division of this execution time and the kind of production content.

  In the above embodiment, the special ending effect has the same content as the interval effect, but it may not be the same. Moreover, it is good also as a content which alert | reports that the jackpot game is complete | finished and the new jackpot game is decided. Moreover, you may preset the production content according to execution time. For example, when the execution time is “0 ms” to “5000 ms”, the third effect content is set to be executed, and when the execution time is “5001 ms” or more, the fourth effect content is set to be executed. Good. You may change arbitrarily the division | segmentation of this execution time, and the kind of production content. Further, the contents may be changed according to the execution time of the ending effect. For example, the background image and the character image to be displayed may be changed every 3 seconds from the start of the ending effect.

  In the above embodiment, when there is a reserved big hit, a special ending effect different from the normal ending effect is executed, but the same ending effect may be executed.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(B) the jackpot determining means, when the second hold store number and the first holding memory number is stored together, you determine whether the second symbol variation game becomes jackpot preferentially.

(B) The effect execution means has an upper limit of the number of the first reserved memory number after the end of the jackpot game until the end of the first symbol change game which is the jackpot determined by the pre-determination means. If the number is less than the number, the variation time of the symbol variation game to be executed is adjusted by adding the time corresponding to the number of symbol variation games until the end of the first symbol variation game determined by the pre-determination means. The

(C) When the specific jackpot game is awarded, the effect execution means is the jackpot determined by the prior determination means from the start of the disadvantaged round game that is executed first after all the advantageous round games are completed. the first symbol variation game made in accordance with the time until the end, that determine the effect contents of ending production.

(D) When the big hit game is given when the winning rate improvement state is not given, the effect executing means is the first symbol that becomes the big hit determined by the prior judging means after the big hit game is finished. change the game shall be the predetermined time-varying fluctuations time of each symbol variation game until the end.

(E) The effect execution means is a case where a big hit game that is an opportunity for giving a winning rate improvement state is given when the winning rate improvement state is not given, and there is no second reserved memory number from after the end of the jackpot gaming, the pre between first symbol variation game determination section become big hit was determined until the end of the jackpot gaming is Ru to execute the ending effect indicating the completion.

(F) The effect execution means continues the jackpot game in an ending effect that is executed after the jackpot game is finished and until the first symbol variation game that is the jackpot determined by the prior determination means is ended. it suggests to be run in.

(G) The effect execution means notifies the end of the jackpot game from the end of the jackpot game until the end of the first symbol variation game that is the jackpot determined by the prior determination means. instead of, in the jackpot game, Ru to execute the interval directing the special pay means is executed when it is closed.
