And a control device for controlling the operation related to the game, a speaker for which the sound reporting operation is controlled under the control of the control device, and a sound report for storing a plurality of sound reporting patterns as a sound reporting operation mode by the speaker. Pattern memory means is provided, and when a game ball flowing down in the game area wins the start winning opening, the control device acquires a random number, and whether or not the acquired numerical value is a predetermined jackpot value And the symbol display unit starts variation of the symbol, and when the acquired numerical value is the jackpot value, the symbol is confirmed and displayed in a predetermined jackpot symbol display mode. A jackpot state is generated in which the big winning device is intermittently opened for a predetermined number of times, and the sounding operation of the speaker is controlled by the jackpot common sound pattern stored in the sound pattern pattern storage means during the jackpot state. On the other hand, in a pachinko machine that stores the random number obtained by the control device in the storage means as the hold information when a game ball wins the start winning opening during the change of the symbol, the control device is in the state of the jackpot state Whether the control device has sound switching means for switching a report sound pattern on a speaker, and the control device stores, in the storage means, specific hold information whose acquired numerical value is the jackpot value. When determining whether or not the specific hold information is stored, after causing the jackpot state, At a specific timing during the jackpot state, the alarm sound pattern at the speaker is switched from the jackpot common alarm sound pattern to a specific alarm sound pattern stored in the alarm sound pattern storage means, and the specific hold information from that time point. It is also conceivable to adopt a configuration in which the sounding operation of the speaker is controlled by the specific sounding pattern until a predetermined timing from the start of the change of the symbol to the fixed display of the symbol.
And by employ | adopting such a structure, when generating a jackpot state, while determining whether the specific hold information whose acquired numerical value is a jackpot value is memorize | stored in a memory | storage means, specific hold information is memorize | stored When the jackpot state is generated, at a specific timing during the jackpot state, the sound pattern of the speaker is switched from the jackpot common sound pattern to the specific sound pattern, and from that point to the specific hold information. The sounding operation of the speaker is controlled by a specific sounding pattern until a predetermined timing between the start of the change of the symbol and the fixed display of the symbol. Therefore, it is possible to provide a novel pachinko machine with high gameability, in which novel notifications that are not possible in the past are possible and the sounding operation modes of the speaker after the completion of the “big hit state” are various.

According to the present invention, when the determination unit determines that the specific hold information exists in the hold information digested after the end of the current jackpot state, the effect determining unit reports the sound in the speaker during the current jackpot state. Deciding whether to switch the pattern to a specific reporting sound pattern different from the jackpot reporting sound pattern, and deciding to switch to a specific reporting sound pattern, the sound switching means, at a specific timing during the current jackpot state, switches the sounding pattern to a specific alarm sound pattern, the control device, even after the current jackpot status has ended, a predetermined between the fluctuation start of symbols when digesting the specific suspension information to determine the display of symbols Until the timing is reached, the sounding operation of the speaker is controlled by a specific sounding pattern. Therefore, in addition to being able to provide innovative notifications that are not available in the past, even if there is specific hold information, it is possible to switch the notification pattern even if there is specific hold information. It can be a pachinko machine with high gameability with various sound operation modes.

  On the other hand, on the rear side of the machine casing 3, there are a storage tank 11 for storing game balls to be paid out as rental balls and prize balls to the supply tray 7, a payout device 12 connected to the storage tank 11, and a payout device 12. A payout control device 28 for controlling the payout operation, a power supply device 29 for supplying a power supply voltage to each control board, device, and member are installed. Reference numeral 21 denotes a center cover formed in the shape of a cover made of synthetic resin. The center cover 21 has a main cover for executing the main control relating to the game (for example, so-called “hit lottery”). Main control device 30 (shown in FIG. 4), display control device 50 (shown in FIG. 4) that controls display operations and the like in the symbol display unit 6, light emission that controls lighting / flashing operations of the lamp member 15 and the notification member 60, etc. The operation of the control device 51 (shown in FIG. 4), the sound control device 52 (shown in FIG. 4) that controls the reporting operation from the speaker 14, and the display control device 50, the sound control device 52, and the like are integratedly controlled. In addition, a sub-control device 40 (shown in FIG. 4) for controlling the operation of the electric accessory 61 is installed. In addition, 22 is a plug for connecting the pachinko machine 1 to a transformer, and 27 is a ground.

Next, the control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1.
The main control device 30 incorporates a main control board 31 on which a main CPU 32 for controlling the operation of the following members as well as execution of “big hit lottery”, a storage means 33 such as ROM and RAM, a timer 34, an interface 35 and the like are mounted. Has been. The main control board 31 can display the start winning opening 19, the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the big winning device 18, the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, and the “special symbol” via the interface 35. It is connected to the special symbol display unit 36 and the like. The main control board 31 is also electrically connected to a sub-integrated board 41 built in the sub-control device 40.

  The storage means 33 includes a plurality of counters such as a c counter used for “big win lottery” and a d counter for determining a basic variation pattern (symbol variation pattern) which is a variation time of “special symbol” or “decorative symbol”. Built-in counter. Each counter is a loop counter that counts a loop while adding one by one within a very short time (for example, 1 interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on. Acquisition of the numerical values used can be regarded as acquisition of random numbers. The c counter counts between 0 and 700 (701 ways) and the d counter counts between 0 and 30 (31 ways). Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from each of the c counter and the d counter (execution of “big hit lottery”) triggered by detection of winning of the game ball at the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17. , C determines whether or not the acquired numerical value is a predetermined “big hit value” (that is, the main CPU 32 includes a lottery means 37 and a big hit determination means 38).

  The storage means 33 stores a “special symbol” displayed on the special symbol display unit 36 and a basic variation pattern determination table in which the numerical value of the d counter is associated with the basic variation pattern as shown in FIG. Yes. Further, in the storage means 33, for example, when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 19 while the “special symbol” is variably displayed on the special symbol display unit 36, the c counter and the d counter associated with the winning are obtained. A hold information storage unit for storing a maximum of 4 numerical values (winning information) as hold information is provided. Note that the number of hold information stored in the hold information storage unit is lit and displayed on the hold display units 20 and 20... And notified to the player under the control of the sub-integrated board 41 as will be described later. In addition, the hold information is sequentially digested in the stored order every time the “special symbol” and the “decorative symbol” are fixedly displayed, and new hold information can be stored along with the digestion.

  The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage unit 43, a timer 44, an interface 45, and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 via the interface 45, and is electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52, As will be described later, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal relating to the big hit lottery from the main control board 31, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device according to the content of the signal, the operation of the speaker 14 and the lamp member 15, and the symbol display unit. The display operation of “decorative symbols” in FIG. Further, the push button 25 and the hold display units 20, 20... Are connected to the sub-integrated board 41 through the interface 45.

  The storage means 43 stores “decorative symbols” to be displayed on the symbol display unit 6, and includes a plurality of variations such as detailed variations of the “decorative symbols” and character effects using character animation. A detailed variation pattern (symbol variation pattern) is stored in association with a basic variation pattern determined by the main control board 31 as shown in FIG. Further, in the storage means 43, a reporting sound pattern that is a reporting operation mode of the speaker 14, a lighting / flashing pattern that is a lighting / flashing mode of the lamp member 15, and the like are stored in association with the basic variation pattern. In addition, the storage unit 43 also stores a jackpot effect pattern that is an effect mode on the symbol display unit 6 in the “hit state”.

The basic game operation in the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described below.
When the handle 9 is turned by the player, the launching device 10 is activated, and a game ball is driven into the game area 16 through the launch passage 13. When the game ball flowing down in the game area 16 wins the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 (a predetermined condition is satisfied), the main CPU 32 detects the win. Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the c counter and the d counter at the timing of winning detection, and whether or not the special symbol display unit 36 is variably displaying “presence symbol” and whether or not there is pending information. Confirm. When the special symbol display unit 36 does not display the “special symbol” in a variable manner and there is no holding information, the value of the c counter acquired this time is a predetermined “big hit value (for example,“ 0 ”or“ 0 ”). 300 ")", that is, whether or not the result of the current "big hit lottery" is "big hit". If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” (that is, the acquired numerical value is “big hit value”), the basic counter pattern determination table shown in FIG. Read the corresponding basic variation pattern. On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out” (that is, the obtained numerical value is a value other than the “big hit value”), the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Reads the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value. After that, the main CPU 32 creates a start command including information indicating the result of the “big hit lottery” (whether it is “big hit” or “out”) and the type of the read basic fluctuation pattern (especially the fluctuation time). At the same time, the start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. In addition, the special symbol display unit 36 changes the “special symbol” in a predetermined manner, and starts measuring time by the timer 34. Then, when the fluctuation time of the read basic fluctuation pattern has elapsed, the “special symbol” corresponding to the result of the “big jackpot lottery” is confirmed and displayed (in the case of “big hit”, the special jackpot special symbol display mode “3” or In the case of “7” and “off”, “−” is displayed for confirmation), and a stop command including a stop signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

On the other hand, if the special symbol display unit 36 is displaying the “special symbol” in a variable manner, or if there is holding information when the presence / absence of the holding information is confirmed, the numerical values acquired by the c counter and d counter associated with the winning Is stored as hold information. Further, if the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage unit has already reached the maximum value, the acquired numerical values of the c counter and the d counter are deleted without being stored as the hold information.
As for the opening / closing operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17, “lottery” by random number acquisition similar to “big hit lottery” with the passing of a game ball to a gate member (not shown) provided in the game area 16. The wing piece of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is opened only for a predetermined set time only when winning is performed.

  In addition, when the sub-integration CPU 42 receives the start command, the sub-integration CPU 42 determines a “decorative symbol” to be finally displayed according to the result of the “big hit lottery” included in the start command, and supports the basic variation pattern. The detailed variation pattern to be read is read, and the “decorative symbol” in the symbol display unit 6 is variably displayed according to the read detailed variation pattern while being timed by the timer 44. Then, with the reception of the stop command, the determined “decorative symbol” is fixedly displayed on the symbol display unit 6. That is, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the symbol display unit 6 arranges three identical “decorative symbols” in a jackpot decorative symbol display mode (for example, “2.2.2” or “7/7”). -Confirm display with 7 ”). Also, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out”, the symbol display unit 6 confirms at least one “decorative symbol” out of the three with a different out symbol display mode (for example, “1, 2, 3”). Display.

  Then, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the main CPU 32 sub-integrates the jackpot command including that the “hit state” is generated after the “decorative symbol” and the “special symbol” are displayed. A “big hit” consisting of a start demo that transmits to the CPU 42 and notifies the start of the “hit state”, intermittent opening of the door member of the big winning device 18 over a predetermined number of times, and an end demo that notifies the end of the “hit state”. Create a "state". In addition, when receiving the jackpot command, the sub-integrated CPU 42 reads the jackpot effect pattern from the storage unit 43 and controls display on the symbol display unit 6 according to the jackpot effect pattern. Thereafter, the main CPU 32 transmits an end command to the sub-integrated CPU 42 with the end of the “hit state”, and thereafter, until the number of fluctuations of the “decorative symbol” and “special symbol” reaches a predetermined number of times, A short state occurs when the average value of the variation time of the “special symbol” is shortened.

  If the jackpot value is “0” (ie, “first jackpot”), the main CPU 32 displays “3” on the special symbol display unit 36 and the sub integrated CPU 42 is an even number. After the jackpot decorative symbol display mode in which three “decorative symbols” are lined up is displayed on the symbol display unit 6, the first special gaming state in which the number of opening of the big winning device 18 is two is generated. When the jackpot value is “300” (ie, “second jackpot”), the main CPU 32 displays “7” on the special symbol display unit 36 and the sub integrated CPU 42 displays an odd number of “decoration”. After the jackpot decoration symbol display mode in which three symbols are arranged is displayed on the symbol display unit 6, the second special game state in which the number of opening of the big winning device 18 is 16 is generated.

  On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “off”, after the confirmation display of the “decorative symbol” and the “special symbol”, the result of the “big hit lottery” for the oldest pending information among the stored pending information It is determined whether or not it is a “big hit”, the same control as described above, such as transmitting a start command, is executed, and the oldest hold information is deleted from the hold information storage unit. Further, when there is no holding information, the “successful lottery” and the determination of the result are performed by winning the game ball to the next start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17.

(Production by reporting operation with speakers using pre-read information)
Here, a description will be given of an effect produced by a reporting operation using the speakers 14 and 14 using pre-read information that is a main part of the present invention.
When the main CPU 32 stores the acquired value of the c counter as hold information, whether or not the result of the “hit lottery” relating to the hold information is “hit” or “second win” It is determined once, even if it is a big hit. Then, the pre-read information including the determination result and the number of hold based on the hold information are transmitted to the sub-integrated board 41 as schedule information. Note that the information stored as the hold information is only the acquired numerical value, and the jackpot determination is executed again when the hold information is consumed, and the above control such as the transmission of the start command is executed.

  On the other hand, the storage means 43 of the sub-integrated board 41 is provided with a schedule information storage unit 46 that stores the received schedule information. Then, when receiving the schedule information, the sub-integrated CPU 42 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage unit 46 and lights one hold display unit 20 to increase the total number of lighting by one. Further, based on the reception of the start command, the oldest schedule information is deleted from the schedule information storage unit 46, and one hold display unit 20 is turned off to reduce the total number of lightings by one.

  Further, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes control as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8 when the “big hit state” occurs after the “decorative symbol” is confirmed and displayed, and during the occurrence of the “big hit state”. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the control at the time of “first big hit”, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the control at the time of “second big hit”.

  First, the control when the result of the “big jackpot lottery” is “first jackpot” will be described. From the final display of the “decorative symbol” according to the stop command until the jackpot command is received, sub-integration The CPU 42 confirms whether or not the schedule information (specific hold information) in which the result of the “big jackpot lottery” is “second jackpot” exists in the schedule information stored in the schedule information storage unit 46 ( S1). That is, if the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information confirmation means 47 and there is no corresponding schedule information (determined NO in S1), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the effect determination means 48, and with the reception of the jackpot command, the jackpot effect Among the patterns, the D1 pattern which is the first big hit definite effect non-designated pattern is selected and read, and the display operation of the symbol display unit 6 is controlled according to the D1 pattern (S2). Further, as the sound report operation mode by the speakers 14 and 14, the first jackpot common sound pattern that is one of the sound report patterns in the “hit state” is read, and until the “hit state” ends, The reporting operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is controlled by the common reporting pattern.

  On the other hand, when there is corresponding schedule information (YES in S1), an effect (hereinafter referred to as a confirmed effect) that informs the player that there is hold information that becomes “second big hit” in the hold information. For example, by lottery (S3). In other words, if the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the effect determining means 48 and determines to execute (YES in S3), the D2 pattern, which is the first jackpot definite effect presence pattern among the jackpot effect patterns, is received with the reception of the jackpot effect pattern. The information is selected and read, and the display operation of the symbol display unit 6 is controlled according to the D2 pattern (S4). This D2 pattern is displayed on the symbol display unit 6 as “winning confirmation” during the “big hit state” end demo, and during the start demonstration and intermittent opening of the winning device 18 (so-called round) This is indistinguishable from the D1 pattern. Further, as a sounding operation mode by the speakers 14 and 14, the first common jackpot sounding pattern is read out, and the sounding operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is performed with the sounding pattern until the “hit state” is finished. In addition to the control, a control is executed in which a predetermined sound effect is added at the timing when “winning confirmation” is displayed during the end demonstration. That is, during the start demonstration and the intermittent opening of the special winning device 18 (during the so-called round digestion), it is not possible to distinguish the report sound pattern as in the display effect pattern. Further, upon receipt of the end command (end of “big hit state”), the player is notified that there is hold information that is one of the sound report patterns and becomes “second big hit” in the hold information. The first correct sound pattern is read, and the “second jackpot” holding information (the first holding information of the first holding information) from the time when the “decorative symbol” related to the first holding information is started after the “big hit state” ends. In some cases) until the predetermined timing (for example, when the so-called reach is determined in the symbol display unit 6) until the “decorative symbol” starts to change and becomes a definite display. Controls the sounding operation of the speakers 14 and 14. On the other hand, when it is determined not to execute (NO in S3), the D1 pattern and the first jackpot common sound pattern are selected and read in accordance with the reception of the jackpot command, and the symbol display unit 6 displays the D1 pattern according to the D1 pattern. The display operation is controlled (S2), and the reporting operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is controlled by the first jackpot common reporting pattern. In addition, after the “big hit state” is finished, the sound pattern of the speakers 14 and 14 is not switched to the first correct-belief sound pattern, and when it is determined NO in S1, the information selected after the “big hit state” is finished. The sounding operation is controlled by the same sounding pattern as the sound pattern.

  Next, the control when the result of the “big jackpot lottery” is “second jackpot” will be explained, as in the case of S1 above, until the “decorative symbol” is confirmed and displayed according to the stop command until the jackpot command is received. In the meantime, the sub-integrated CPU 42 determines whether the schedule information stored in the schedule information storage unit 46 includes schedule information (specific hold information) in which the result of the “big jackpot lottery” is “second jackpot”. It is confirmed whether or not (S11). If the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information confirmation means 47 and there is no corresponding schedule information (determined NO in S11), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the effect determination means 48, and with the reception of the jackpot command, the jackpot effect pattern is changed. Among these, the D3 pattern which is the second big hit decisive effect non-existing pattern is selected and read, and the display operation of the symbol display unit 6 is controlled according to the D3 pattern (S12). The D3 pattern is a slot effect (three slot symbols are displayed using a predetermined slot symbol on the symbol display unit 6 every time the door member is opened from the second to the fifteenth opening of the door member in the grand prize winning device 18. (Effects that are displayed in a fixed manner after each variable display) are repeatedly executed, but the 15th opening operation is performed without aligning the three slot symbols at once (the three slot symbols are all displayed in the same slot symbol). After finishing the 16th opening operation of the door member, an end demonstration similar to the D1 pattern is executed to end the “hit state”. In addition, as a sound report operation mode by the speakers 14 and 14, a second jackpot common sound pattern that is one of the sound report patterns in the “hit state” is read, and until the “hit state” ends, The reporting operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is controlled by the reporting pattern.

  If there is corresponding schedule information (YES in S11), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the effect determining means 48 again and determines whether or not to execute the confirmed effect, for example, by lottery (S13). Further, when it is determined to be executed (YES in S13), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the effect determining means 48, and among the jackpot effect patterns, the D4 pattern or the jackpot effect pattern that is the second jackpot first determined effect pattern It is determined by lottery, for example, which of the D5 patterns, which is the pattern with the second big hit first confirmed effect, is executed (S14). When the D4 pattern is selected here, as in the D3 pattern, a predetermined slot symbol is used in the symbol display unit 6 every time the door member is opened from the second to the fifteenth opening of the door member in the special winning device 18. Although the slot effect is repeatedly executed, the 15th opening operation is completed without aligning the 3 slot designs at once, and the 16th opening operation of the door member is completed. The display operation of the symbol display unit 6 is controlled by the D4 pattern of displaying on the display unit 6 (S15). Further, as the sound report operation mode by the speakers 14 and 14, the above-described second jackpot common sound report pattern is read out, and the sound report operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is performed with the common sound pattern until the “big hit state” ends. And a control of adding a predetermined sound effect at the timing when “winning confirmation” is displayed during the end demonstration. Then, in response to the reception of the end command, the first correct beep sound pattern that sounds even when the D2 pattern is selected is read, the “hit state” ends, and the variation of the “decorative symbol” related to the first hold information starts. From the point in time when the “decoration symbol” starts to change due to the “second jackpot” hold information and until a fixed display is reached, the information of the speakers 14 and 14 is reported with the first correct sound pattern. Control sound behavior.

  On the other hand, when the D5 pattern is selected in S14, every time the door member is opened from the second opening of the door member in the grand prize winning device 18 to a predetermined number of times (which may be determined by lottery), the symbol display unit 6 A slot effect using a predetermined slot symbol is repeatedly executed, and in the slot effect at the predetermined number of times (which may be determined by lottery), all three slot symbols are fixedly displayed with the same slot symbol. Also, during the period up to the slot effect at the predetermined number of times, the sounding operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is controlled according to the second jackpot common sounding pattern. Then, when the next door member is opened, it is one of the sound report patterns, and a second sound confirmation sound pattern (notifying the player that there is the hold information that becomes “second big hit” in the hold information ( A specific alarm sound pattern), the alarm operation mode of the speakers 14 and 14 is switched from the second jackpot common alarm sound pattern to the second correct alarm sound pattern, and the opening operation of the door member 16 times is finished. A predetermined timing (for example, a symbol display section) until the “decorative state” is ended through the end demonstration and the “decorative symbol” starts to change and becomes a definite display by the hold information that is the “second jackpot”. Until the so-called reach is determined in step 6), the sounding operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is controlled by the second correct sounding sound pattern. That is, it can be said that the sub-integrated CPU 42 includes the sound switching means 49 for switching the sound report pattern at a specific timing in the “hit state”. In addition, it is a display effect in D5 pattern, Comprising: The display effect after switching a report sound pattern to the 2nd present confirmation sound pattern is a specific display effect which is not a slot effect.

Further, if it is determined not to execute in S13, the D3 pattern and the second jackpot common sound pattern are selected and read in accordance with the reception of the jackpot command, and the display operation of the symbol display unit 6 is performed according to the D3 pattern. (S12) and the sound reporting operation of the speakers 14 and 14 is controlled by the second jackpot common sound pattern. Even if the end command is received, the sound pattern of the speakers 14 and 14 is not switched to the first correct sound pattern, and if it is determined NO in S11, the information selected after the end of the “big hit state” is reached. The reporting operation is controlled with the same reporting sound pattern as the sound pattern, and hence with the same reporting pattern as when NO is determined in S1.
It should be noted that in the above-described hold information, there is a “second jackpot”, and the hold information that becomes the “second jackpot” in the control for notifying the fact using the first winning sound pattern or the second winning sound pattern. When the hold information that becomes “first big hit” is present in the hold information that is digested earlier than that, the sound control based on the first correct beep sound pattern is performed according to the hold information that becomes “first big win”. Until the “decorated symbol” starts to change and becomes a fixed display, the predetermined timing is reached.

(Effects of the pachinko machine of this embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 that executes the control as described above, the sub-integrated CPU 42 includes the sound switching means 49, and the schedule information (and hence the hold information) that the result of the “big hit lottery” is “second big hit” is obtained. If it exists, in order to notify the fact, at a specific timing in the “big hit state”, the second big hit common reporting sound pattern common to the “second big hit state” related to the “second big hit state” is included in the hold information. In addition to switching the sound pattern to the second correct sound pattern that informs the player that there is pending information that becomes “second big hit”, the sound control with the second correct sound pattern is changed to “ ”Will not stop even if it ends, and the“ timing symbol ”will start to fluctuate according to the hold information that is“ second jackpot ”and the predetermined timing until it becomes a fixed display To be continued. Therefore, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 with high gameability that can perform a novel notification that has not existed in the past, and that has various sounding operation modes on the speakers 14 and 14 after the end of the “big hit state”.

Further, the sub-integrated CPU 42 is provided with the effect determining means 48, and even if there is schedule information in which the result of the “big jackpot lottery” is “second jackpot”, no notification by the second winning sound pattern is made. So that things could happen. Therefore, more various games can be provided to the player, and the game performance can be further improved.
Furthermore, in order to alert | report only about the "hit state" which concerns on the "2nd big hit" advantageous for the player who can expect many prize balls among "hits state", although the alerting | reporting operation was performed, Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a “big hit state” related to the “first big hit” with a small number of prize balls, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

(Modifications of the present invention)
The configuration related to the pachinko machine of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the configuration of the entire pachinko machine, the content of the big hit state and the game state after the end of the big win state, and the control mechanism About the structure which concerns on, etc., it can change suitably as needed in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, even if there is hold information that becomes “second big hit” in the hold information, it is configured so that the notification may not be made. If there is pending information, it may be configured to notify that fact.
In addition, although two types of “big hit states” with different numbers of opening times of the door member in the big winning device 18 are generated, various “hit states” with different numbers of opening times of three or more types are caused to occur. Alternatively, after the completion of the “big hit state”, a different “big hit state” is generated depending on whether or not to generate a so-called high probability state that is likely to become a “big hit” as a result of the “big hit lottery”. It is also possible to generate a “big hit state” with a different period of high probability, and it is possible to appropriately change the setting of which “big hit state” is to be notified. There is no problem even if it is configured to notify the hold information that becomes “one big hit”.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the control is divided into two control devices, ie, the main control device and the sub control device. However, the control may be performed by one main control device. The control device may be provided with effect determining means, sound switching means, report sound pattern storage means, etc., and when controlling with one main control device, it is not necessary to create schedule information etc., but only hold information. It may be used to determine whether or not to switch the report sound pattern to a specific report sound pattern.
Furthermore, the timing at which the sound control by a specific sound pattern is to be continued is a predetermined time until the “decorative symbol” starts to change and becomes a definite display according to the hold information that is “second big hit”. Timing is not limited to the timing at which the so-called reach of the above embodiment is determined. For example, the timing for temporarily stopping display of the “decorative symbol” in the jackpot decorative symbol display mode may be selected. There is no problem even if the timing is different depending on the detailed variation pattern.
In addition, in the above embodiment, a pachinko machine using two symbols of “special symbol” and “decorative symbol” is described, but only “special symbol” is used, and “special symbol” is displayed on the symbol display unit. May be displayed.
