Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly, to control of a game effect performed in accordance with a change display of symbols.

  In a pachinko machine that has a starting opening and a big winning opening in a gaming area where gaming balls can flow down, when the gaming ball wins the starting opening, the determination information is acquired when the start condition is established, and the determination information is After the big hit determination is performed based on the change of the special symbol, the determination symbol indicating the result of the big hit determination is displayed to stop. When it is judged as “big hit”, the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed as a judgment symbol, and a special game is performed to open the normally closed big prize opening, where a large number of game balls are awarded to the big prize opening. And a considerable number of game balls can be obtained.

  The determination information acquired by the establishment of the start condition is temporarily stored in the hold storage unit, and the number of determination information stored in the hold storage unit is the hold number, and the game ball when the hold number is less than 4 When the player wins the start opening, the starting condition is satisfied. Each time the start condition is satisfied, one determination information is acquired and stored in the holding storage unit, so that the number of holdings increases by one, and on the other hand, every time the change of the special symbol starts, it is stored in the holding storage unit. Since the determination information of 1 is erased from the holding storage unit for the big hit determination, the number of holdings is reduced by one.

  By the way, the variation mode (variation time) for variably displaying the special symbol is determined based on the result of the jackpot determination (determination information) and further the number of holds, while the special symbol is variably displayed as a game effect. The symbol variation effect according to the variation mode of the special symbol, which is a symbol variation effect that suggests the result of the big hit determination, is mainly displayed on the image display device. (For example, Patent Document 1).

  As shown in FIG. 5, each means 40-47, 50-57, 60, 65, 66 of illustration is comprised mainly by the computer of the game control board 31 (main control part). The special figure counter means 40 sequentially updates the jackpot determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the fluctuation pattern determination value every minute time within the set range.

  The special figure acquisition means 41 is a jackpot updated by the special figure counter means 40 when the special figure starting condition is established when the game ball wins the first starting opening 10a when the first special figure holding number is less than 4. When the determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value are acquired as a set of first special figure determination information and the second special figure holding number is less than 4, the game ball is set to the second start port. 10b or 11a is awarded, the special figure starting condition is established, and the jackpot determination value, the symbol determination value, the reach determination value, and the variation pattern determination value updated by the special figure counter means 40 are set as a second set. Acquired as special figure determination information.

  The special figure holding storage means 42 has up to four pieces of first and second special figure determination information acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41 and not used for the determination by the big hit determination means 44a of the special figure determination means 44, that is, the special figure determination means 44. A total of eight figure determination information can be stored (suspended), and the number of first special figure determination information stored in the special figure storage means 42 becomes the first special figure reservation number, and the special figure reservation storage means 42. The number of second special figure determination information stored in the second special figure reservation number.

  The special figure reservation storing means 43 uses the special figure determination information stored in the special figure reservation storage means 42 for the determination by the big hit determination means 44a one by one every time the variation of the special symbol is started. Erase (hold digestion) from. At this time, when a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 42, the order in which the plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 (that is, the special figure acquisition means 41). Digest in the order obtained).

  In the special figure determination means 44, the big hit determination means 44a is based on the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42, specifically, the special figure determination information digested by the special figure hold digest means 43, When it is determined whether or not a special game advantageous to the player is to be performed, and it is determined that a special game, a big hit game, is to be performed, the symbol determination means 44b determines the opening pattern of the big prize opening 13a in the big hit game and after the big hit game has ended. The game state is determined.

  Specifically, first, the jackpot determining means 44a is a special game in which whether or not to play the big hit game which is a special game based on the jackpot determination value of the special figure determination information, and the category is different from the jackpot game. It is determined whether or not to play a small hit game. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, determination is made using either a low accuracy table or a high accuracy table as the big hit determination table.

  In the low-accuracy table, if the big hit judgment value matches one of the big hit specific values (3,247 ...) at a rate of about 1/320, it is judged that the big hit game is performed, and in the high accuracy table, the big hit judgment value is about 10 If it matches one of the big hit specific values (3,7 ...) at the rate of / 320, it is determined that the big hit game is performed, and the big hit judgment value is about 3/320 in both the low accuracy table and the high accuracy table If the ratio matches any one of the small hit specific values (4, 44...), It is determined that the small hit game is performed.

  When the symbol determination means 44b determines that the jackpot game is to be played by the jackpot determination means 44a, a plurality of jackpot symbols (the jackpot symbols A to H shown in FIG. 7) based on the symbol determination value of the special symbol determination information. Any one is selected, and when the special figure determination information is the first special figure determination information, the selection rate specified by the first symbol selection table shown in FIG. In the case of information, symbols are selected at a selection rate defined by the second symbol selection table shown in FIG. When it is determined by the big hit determining means 44a that a small hit game is to be performed, a small hit symbol is selected, and when it is determined that a special game (big hit game, small hit game) is not to be performed, a lost symbol is selected.

  In the special figure determination means 44, the fluctuation mode determination means 44c (fluctuation mode determination means 44c) is the special figure determination information (specifically, the determination result by the big hit determination means 44a and the symbol determination means 44b (the selected determination symbol). ; Any one of the big hit symbols A to H, the small hit symbol, the lost symbol), the reach random number, the fluctuation pattern random number), and the special game symbols are changed based on the current game state and the number of special figure holds. The special figure fluctuation mode (special figure fluctuation time) to be displayed is determined (determined). Specific processing for determining the special figure variation mode will be described later.

  The special figure display control means 45 starts the variable display of the first special symbol when the first special figure determination information is digested by the special figure reservation digesting means 43, and 2 When the special figure determination information is digested, the second special symbol variation display is started, and the special symbol variation display is performed in the special symbol variation mode determined by the variation mode determination means 44c. After the special symbol variation time and special symbol defined in the mode are displayed in a variable manner, the determination symbol indicating the determination result by the big hit determination means 44a and the symbol determination means 44b is stopped and displayed.

  That is, when the big hit determination means 44a determines that the big hit game is to be performed, any of the big hit symbols A to H is stopped and displayed as a determination symbol, and when it is determined to perform the small hit game, the small hit symbol is determined. If it is determined that a special game (big hit game, small hit game) is not to be performed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a determination symbol.

  When the special game executing means 46 determines that a special game (big hit game, small hit game) is to be performed by the big hit determination means 44a, the special game display control means 45 determines a determination symbol (symbol determination means 44b) indicating the determination result. The special game (big hit game, small hit game) advantageous to the player who opens the big winning opening 13a with an open pattern according to the judgment pattern after the big hit symbol and small hit symbol selected by the Do.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the opening pattern of the big winning opening 13a in the big hit game is set as shown according to the type of the big hit symbol, and the opening pattern of the big winning hole 13a in the small hit game is the big hit symbol D, It is set in the same manner as the open patterns corresponding to E, G, and H.

  Specifically, in the 16R (round) long-term opening, the grand prize opening 13a is opened and closed over 16R, and each R starts after opening the big prize opening 13a. When the R winning condition is reached, for example, when 30 seconds elapses, the special winning opening 13a is closed and the process ends. In the 8R long-term opening, the special winning opening 13a is opened and closed over 8R, and after each R starts, the R finishes when the same R end condition as in the 16R long-term opening is satisfied. In the 8R short-term opening, the grand prize opening 13a is opened and closed over 8R. After each R starts, for example, 10 game balls are won in the big prize opening 13a, or an R end condition of 0.1 seconds elapses is satisfied. finish.

  The probability setting means 47 uses a low probability (about 1/320) or a high probability table shown in FIG. 6 to determine the big hit probability determined to be a big hit game by the big hit determination means 44a using the low probability table shown in FIG. Use to set higher probability (about 10/320) than lower probability.

  On the other hand, the common figure counter means 50 sequentially updates the hit determination value and the common figure determination value every minute time. When the number of pending drawings is less than 4, the ordinary figure acquisition means 51 establishes the ordinary figure starting condition when the game ball passes through the gate 12 and the hit determination value updated by the ordinary figure counter means 50 A determination value is acquired as a set of usual-time determination information. The common figure hold storage means 52 can store (hold) up to four pieces of common figure determination information acquired by the general figure acquisition means 51 and not subjected to the determination by the general figure determination means 54. The number of the general map determination information stored in the number becomes the general map hold number.

  The universal figure reservation means 53 uses the universal figure determination information stored in the universal figure reservation storage means 52 for the determination by the universal figure determination means 54 one by one every time the change of the normal symbol is started. Delete from 52 (hold digestion). At this time, when a plurality of common map determination information is stored in the general map hold storage means 52, the order in which the plurality of general map determination information is stored in the general map hold storage means 52 (that is, the general map acquisition means 51). Digest in the order obtained).

  The common figure determination means 54 determines whether or not to perform an auxiliary game based on the common figure determination information stored in the general figure hold storage means 52, more specifically, based on the common figure determination information digested by the general figure hold digest means 53. Determine. Based on the determination result by the general map determination unit 54, the general map display control unit 55 changes the normal symbol on the general map display 19c when the general map determination information is digested by the general map hold digest unit 53. After the display, the determination symbol indicating the determination result is stopped and displayed. When it is determined that the auxiliary game is to be played by the common symbol determination means 54, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and when it is determined that the auxiliary game is not to be performed, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed.

  When it is determined that the auxiliary game executing means 56 performs the auxiliary game, the general game display control means 55 stops displaying the determination symbol (winning symbol) indicating the determination result. 2 An auxiliary game for opening the start port 11a is performed. As shown in FIG. 9, the operation mode setting means 57 sets a low operation mode in which the second start port 11a is hardly operated in the open state or a high operation mode in which the second start port 11a is easily operated in the open state as the second start port operation mode. .

  Specifically, in the low operation mode, the hit probability determined to perform the auxiliary game by the normal figure determination means 54 is 1/10, and the normal figure change time during which the normal symbol is variably displayed by the normal figure display control means 55 is 12 Second, the second start port opening pattern for opening the second start port 11a in the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game executing means 56 is set to 0.1 second × 1 time, and in the high operation mode, the hit probability is 10/10, and the normal variation The time is set to 0.5 seconds and the second opening opening pattern is set to 2.0 seconds x 3 times.

  The gaming state control means 60 includes a plurality of gaming states ("normal gaming state" (low-probability / non-short-time state), "short-time gaming state" (low-probability / short-time state), and "latent-probable gaming state" (high (Probability / Non-Time Short State) or “Probability Changed Game State” (High Accuracy / Time Short State)) is set, and the game is controlled in that game state. It should be noted that when the power is turned on, the gaming state set at the previous power-off is set continuously, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed at the time of power-on, the “normal gaming state” is set.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a low probability is set by the probability setting means 47 in the “normal gaming state” and the “short-time gaming state”, and a high probability is set by the probability setting means 47 in the “latent probability gaming state” and “probability changing gaming state”. Is set. In the “normal game state” and the “latent probability game state”, the low operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 57, and in the “time-short game state” and “probability game state”, the high operation mode is set by the operation mode setting means 57. Is set.

  When the big hit game is played by the special game execution means 46, the game state control means 60 changes the setting of the game state after the big hit game as shown in FIG. If any one of the jackpot symbols A to C is stopped and becomes a so-called “probability big hit”, the “probable change game state” is set after the big hit game ends, and after the big hit symbols A and B are stopped, When the special symbol change count of the special symbol on the special symbol indicators 19a and 19b reaches 10000 times, it shifts to the “normal game state”, and after the big hit symbol C is stopped, the special symbol change frequency is 50 times thereafter. When it reaches, it shifts to the “latent probability gaming state”, and further shifts to the “normal gaming state” when the number of special figure fluctuations reaches 10,000 times.

  When the big hit symbol D is stopped and the so-called “surprise big hit” is reached, the “probable change game state” is set after the big hit game ends, and after that, when the number of special figure fluctuations reaches 10,000, the “normal game state” " When the jackpot symbol E is stopped and the so-called “latent probability big hit” is reached, the “latent probability gaming state” (or “probability varying gaming state”) is set after the big hitting game ends, When it reaches 10000 times, it will shift to “normal gaming state”.

  When the jackpot symbol F is displayed in a stopped state and becomes a so-called “normal jackpot”, or when the jackpot symbol G is stopped and displayed in a so-called “collision jackpot”, after the jackpot game is over, ”Is set, and after that, when the number of special figure fluctuations reaches 50, the state is shifted to the“ normal gaming state ”. When the big hit symbol H is stopped and displayed, and the so-called “rush big hit” is reached, the “normal game state” is set after the big hit game is finished. On the other hand, when a small hit game is played by the special game execution means 46, that is, when the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed so-called "small hit", after the small hit game is finished, before the small hit game is started. A gaming state is set.

  Here, a specific process in which the above-described variation mode determination unit 44c determines the special map variation time (special map variation mode) will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the “normal game state” or “latent probability game state”, it is determined that the special game is not performed (lost) by the big hit determining means 44a, and the lost symbol is selected by the symbol determining means 44b. First, based on the reach determination value of the special figure determination information, the first type variation time is set so that the loss can be notified without entering the reach state, or the reach is notified in the reach state. It is determined whether it is the second type variation time that can be performed (however, the loss can be notified without being in the reach state).

  In the case of the first type variation time, as the first type variation time based on the special figure reservation number (the total of the first special figure reservation number and the second special figure reservation number immediately before the start of the change of the special symbol), If any of the 9 seconds, 7 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, or 3 seconds shown in the figure (special figure fluctuation time according to the number of special figure hold) is determined and set to the second type fluctuation time, the special figure judgment information Based on the fluctuation pattern determination value, any one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 20 seconds, 25 seconds,.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the special game is to be performed by the big hit determining means 44a (big hit or small hit), and the big hit symbol (any of the big hit symbols A to H) or the small hit symbol is selected by the symbol determining means 44b, Based on the selected symbol type and the variation pattern judgment value of the special figure judgment information, as shown in FIG. Determine one of seconds, 16 seconds ..., 30 seconds, 35 seconds ..., 60 seconds.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when it is determined that the special game is not performed by the big hit determining means 44a and the lost symbol is selected by the symbol determining means 44b when in the “short-time gaming state” or “probability changing gaming state” As in the case of the “normal gaming state” or “latent probability gaming state”, first, based on the reach determination value of the special figure determination information, the first type variation time is set, or the second type variation time is set. Judgment is made.

  In case of the first type variation time, based on the number of special figure hold, either 12 seconds or 2 seconds shown in the figure (special figure change time according to the number of special figure hold) is determined. When the second type variation time is set, the second type variation time is determined based on the variation pattern determination value of the special figure determination information, as in the “normal game state” or the “latent probability game state”. As shown, any one of 13 seconds, 15 seconds,..., 20 seconds, 25 seconds,.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that a special game is to be performed by the big hit determining means 44a and the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is selected by the symbol determining means 44b, it is the same as in the “normal game state” or the “latent probability game state”. In addition, based on the selected symbol type and the variation pattern judgment value of the special figure judgment information, the third type variation time is shown as 14 seconds, 16 seconds,..., 30 seconds, 35 seconds.・ Determine one of 60 seconds.

  It should be noted that “13 seconds” belonging to the second type variation time in which the loss can be notified in the reach state is the first specific variation time corresponding to the first variation mode. The first specific variation time “13 seconds” belonging to the second type variation time may be determined with different probabilities depending on the number of special figure reservations. For example, the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is a second number (1) that is smaller than the first number when the special figure holding number is the first number (any one of 3 to 5). , Any one of the two), and when the special figure holding number is the third number (six or the like), the fourth number larger than the third number (such as six) 7 or 8 or the like) may be more easily determined.

  Note that the first specific variation time “13 seconds” may belong to the first variation time in which the loss can be notified without entering the reach state. In this case, for example, as the first type variation time, for each special figure holding number, a plurality of variation times including the first specific variation time “13 seconds” (for example, “normal gaming state” or “latent probability gaming state”) When the number of special figure hold is 1, it is 9 seconds and 13 seconds, and when the special figure hold number is 5, 5 seconds and 13 seconds) is the fluctuation pattern judgment value of the special figure judgment information. To be determined. Similarly to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” belonging to the first type variation time, it may be determined with different probabilities depending on the number of special figure reservations.

  As the first specific variation time corresponding to the first variation mode, one or more variation times other than “13 seconds” (for example, the first variation time together with “13 seconds” or instead of “13 seconds” (for example, the first variation time) “9 seconds”, “7 seconds”, “5 seconds”, “4 seconds”, “3 seconds” belonging to the first type variation time, and “15 seconds” belonging to the second type variation time) may be set.

  It should be noted that “20 seconds, 25 seconds,..., 50 seconds”, which belongs to the second type variation time that is lost in the reach state, and the third type variation time in which the big hit or the small hit can be notified in the reach state. The “30 seconds, 35 seconds..., 60 seconds” to which it belongs is the second specific fluctuation time corresponding to the second fluctuation mode.

  In the special figure determination means 44, the prior determination means 44d uses the special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 42 (that is, the special figure determination information to be digested later by the special figure hold digest means 43). Specifically, when the special figure determination information is acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41, determination by the big hit determination means 44a, the symbol determination means 44b, and the variation mode determination means 44c is performed on the special figure determination information. Is performed in advance (i.e., selection of any one of the big hit symbols A to H, the small hit symbol, and the lost symbol, determination of the special figure variation mode (special figure fluctuation time)). It is possible.

  The prior determination means 44d basically performs preliminary determination on each acquired special figure determination information based on the gaming state at the time of acquisition, but when the special figure determination information is acquired, Based on the result of prior determination based on the special figure determination information acquired before the special figure determination information, the gaming state at the time of acquisition of the special figure determination information is different from the gaming state at the time of digestion of the special figure determination information. If it turns out, it is preferable to make a prior determination based on the gaming state at the time of digestion.

  The command generation means 65 generates commands (various commands shown in FIG. 13) according to the progress of the game, and the command transmission means 66 transmits the commands generated by the command generation means 65 to the effect control board 33.

  The special figure hold increase command is generated and transmitted when the special figure determination information is acquired / stored, and the special figure hold increase command includes information indicating the determination pattern and the special figure change time determined by the preliminary determination by the preliminary determination unit 44d. It is included. The special figure change start command is generated and transmitted when the special symbol change is started, and the special figure change stop command is generated and transmitted when the special symbol change is stopped. The special figure change start command includes the jackpot determining means 44a and the symbol determining means. 44b, information indicating the determination symbol determined by the determination by the variation mode determination unit 44c and the special symbol variation time, and information indicating the determination symbol determined by the determination are included in the special symbol variation stop command, respectively. include.

  The opening command is generated and transmitted at the start of the special game, and the ending command is generated and transmitted at the end of the final R of the special game. The opening command is a special game that is started based on the determination pattern determined by the determination. Information indicating the type of game (open pattern of the special winning opening 13a), and the ending command includes information indicating the game state set after the end of the special game based on the determination pattern determined in the determination, respectively. include.

  In particular, when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” (first variation mode) is determined by the variation mode determination unit 44 c as the special figure variation start command, the command generation unit 65 performs the first specific variation. Based on the number of special figure determination information (the number of past special figure holds) stored in the special figure hold storage means 43 before the fluctuation time “13 seconds” is determined, the first specific fluctuation start command and the first A specific fluctuation start command is generated which is one of the second specific fluctuation start commands different from the specific fluctuation start command. When the special figure fluctuation time other than the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” is determined by the fluctuation mode determination means 44c, the normal special figure fluctuation start command (note that the first and second specific fluctuation start commands It may be a command of the same type as one).

  In order to generate this specific variation start command, as the number of special figure hold in the past, when the special figure hold number before a plurality of times (for example, four times) changes based on the present (when special figure determination information is acquired (stored) ) Or at the time of digestion (at the start of fluctuation of special symbol)) until the time of the change of the number of special figure reservations one time before, the value at the time of change of the number of special figure reservations in the past (four times) is stored Has been.

  Here, FIG. 14 shows that the number of changes in the number of special figure hold is 0 (the number of special figure hold is 0) on the basis of a certain time, and the number of special figure hold with respect to the number of changes in the number of special figure hold (number of special figure hold). This graph shows a line graph illustrating the increase / decrease), and the graph rises to the right when the special figure determination information is acquired, goes down to the right when the special figure determination information is digested, and is specially indicated by an arrow. The change of the symbol is shown, and the number in the circle attached to the arrow indicates the number of changes of the special symbol.

  For example, in FIG. 14, when the special symbol is changed for the fifth time and the current number of reserved special symbols is two as indicated by the arrow A, 4 → 3 → 4 → Three are stored as the number of special figure reservations in the past, and the sixth special symbol change is performed, and in the situation where the current number of special figure reservations is six indicated by the arrow B, this is indicated by a virtual line B1. 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 is stored as the number of special figure reservations in the past, and the special symbol variation is performed for the 20th time, and the current special figure reservation number is 0 as indicated by an arrow C. Under the circumstances, 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 indicated by the imaginary line C1 is stored as the past special figure holding number.

  Now, specifically, the command generation means 65, when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined, stores the number of past special figure holds (change in the number of special figure holds in the past four times). Time value) is read, and it is determined whether or not the first predetermined number that is two or more larger than the current special figure hold number is included therein, and it is determined that the first predetermined number is included. If a first specific change start command is generated and it is determined that the first predetermined number is not included, a second specific change start command is generated.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 15A, in the situation where the current number of special figure holds is two as indicated by arrow A in FIG. 14, the first predetermined number is four or more, and the stored past The number of special figure hold: 4 → 3 → 4 → 3 includes the first predetermined number; 4 or more (4), so the first specific variation start command is Similarly, as shown in FIG. 15C, in the situation where the current special figure holding number is 0 as indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 14, the first predetermined number is 2 or more and stored. In the past, the number of special figure hold: 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 includes the first predetermined number; 2 or more numbers (2, 3, 4). One specific change start command is generated.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15 (B), in the situation where the current number of special figure holds in FIG. 14 is six as indicated by arrow B, the first predetermined number is eight, and the past special number stored is stored. Since the number of figure hold: 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 does not include the first predetermined number; that is, 8 or more, the second specific variation start command is generated.

  Note that the command generation means 65 stores the number of past special figure reservations stored when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined (the value when the number of special figure reservations in the past four changes). Is read out, and it is determined whether or not a first predetermined number that is three or more larger than the current special figure hold number is included therein, and if it is determined that the first predetermined number is included, the first identification If a variation start command is generated and it is determined that the first predetermined number is not included, a second specific variation start command may be generated.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 16 (A), in the situation where the current number of special figure holds in FIG. 14 is two as indicated by arrow A, the first predetermined number is five, and the stored past Since the number of special figure hold: 4 → 3 → 4 → 3 does not include the first predetermined number; the number of 5 or more, the second specific variation start command is generated, As shown in FIG. 16 (B), in the situation where the current number of special figure holds in FIG. 14 is six as indicated by arrow B, the first predetermined number is nine, and the past special figure hold stored. Since the number of 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 does not include the first predetermined number; 9 or more, the second specific variation start command is generated.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16 (C), in the situation where the current number of special figure holds in FIG. 14 is zero as indicated by the arrow C, the first predetermined number is three, and the past special figure stored is stored. Since the number of reserved figures: 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 includes the first predetermined number; 3 or more (3, 4), the first specific change start command is Generated.

  Note that the command generation means 65 stores the number of past special figure reservations stored when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined (the value when the number of special figure reservations in the past four changes). Is read, and it is determined whether or not a second predetermined number that is 1 (or 2) or less smaller than the current special figure hold number is included, and it is determined that the second predetermined number is not included. If the first specific variation start command is generated and it is determined that the second predetermined number is included, the second specific variation start command may be generated.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 17 (A), in the situation where the current number of special figure holds in FIG. 14 is two as indicated by arrow A, the second predetermined number is 1 (or 0) or less, and the memory is stored. In the past, the number of special figure hold: 4 → 3 → 4 → 3 does not contain the second predetermined number; 1 (or 0) or less, so the first specified Similarly, as shown in FIG. 15C, in the situation where the current special figure holding number is zero as indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 14, the second predetermined number is −1 (or -2) The number of past special figure reservations that are stored in the number; 4 → 3 → 2 → 1; the second predetermined number; −1 (or −2) or less Is not included, the first specific variation start command is generated.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17B, in the situation where the current number of special figure hold in FIG. 14 is 6 as indicated by arrow B, the second predetermined number is 5 (or 4) and stored. The number of past special figure hold: 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 includes the first predetermined number; 5 (or 4) or less (4, 5 (4)) Therefore, the second specific variation start command is generated.

  In this way, when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined, the stored number of special figure holds in the past is a change pattern that tends to decrease as indicated by the virtual line C1 in FIG. If it has changed, a first specific fluctuation start command is generated, and if it has changed in a change pattern that tends to increase as shown by a virtual line B1 in FIG. 14, a second specific fluctuation start command is generated.

  In addition, when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined, the stored number of special figure holds in the past changes in a change pattern that tends to be balanced as indicated by a virtual line A1 in FIG. In this case, the first specific variation start command may be generated, or the second specific variation start command may be generated.

  As shown in FIG. 5, each of the means 67, 70 to 74 shown in the figure is constituted by a computer of the effect control board 33, the image control board 34, and the lamp control board 35 (effect control unit). The command receiving unit 67 receives a command transmitted from the computer of the game control board 31 by the command transmitting unit 66.

  The effect control means 70 includes a change effect control means 71, a hold effect control means 72, a special game effect control means 73, and a prefetch effect control means 74. Based on the command received by the command receiving means 67, the effect means 80 (Image display device 16, movable accessory devices 17, 18, speaker 37, lamps 38a, 38b) are caused to perform a game effect.

  The special effect display control means 45 displays the special symbol in a variable manner by the special figure display control means 45 based on the image (moving image) displayed on the image display device 16 and the sound output from the speaker 37 in accordance with the image. The symbol variation suggesting the determination result by the jackpot determination means 44a and the symbol determination means 44b based on the special symbol variation display, that is, based on the special symbol variation start command received at the start of the variation of the special symbol. The symbol variation effect corresponding to the special symbol variation time determined by the variation mode determination means 44c (the special symbol is variably displayed) is a plurality of symbol variation effects (designs shown in FIG. 18A). Select one of the fluctuating effects 1, 2, 3,.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the symbol variation effect, basically, (1) after the three effect symbol sequences 16a start to vary, (2) the left effect symbol “X” varies on the image display device 16. (3) The effect design “Y” on the right side is variably stopped, (4) The effect design “Z” in the center is displayed to variably stop, and these three stop design sequences “XZY” are confirmed and displayed. Thus, a combination display mode showing the determination results by the big hit determination means 44a and the symbol determination means 44b is obtained.

  Here, in the variation effect control means 71, the effect mode setting means 71a is provided with a plurality of effect modes (“normal mode”, “time reduction mode”, “probability change mode”, “latency probability” shown in FIG. 20) according to the current game state and the like. One of the suggestion mode and the “prefetch mode” is set, and the variation effect control means 71 causes the symbol variation effect to be performed in the effect mode set by the effect mode setting means 71a. The symbol variation effect in each effect mode is a background image that is the background of the effect symbol displayed on the image display device 16 with respect to the symbol variation effect in the other effect modes, and the display mode of the effect symbol (the effect symbol of the effect symbol). The pattern, size, variation mode, etc.) are different.

  The effect mode setting means 71a basically sets the “normal mode” when in the “normal gaming state”, the “short time mode” when in the “short-time gaming state”, and the “probability changing mode” when in the “probable variable gaming state”. To do. However, depending on the case, the special symbol variation count is set when the game is in the “normal game state” or “latent game state” after the end of the special game that becomes “latency big hit”, “rush big hit”, and “small hit”. The “latency suggestion mode” is set until the number of times (for example, any number from 1 to 60) is exceeded.

  In addition, the special symbol variation display based on the special figure determination information that is the target is ended for the special figure determination information that is the target of the pre-reading effect on the basis of the determination result by the prior determination unit 44d. Until the special symbol is variably displayed several times, for example, when the “normal mode” or the “latency suggestion mode” is set, the first special symbol is It can be expected to be a big hit by setting the “look-ahead mode” while the display is fluctuated over any number of times (4 times), and performing the symbol variation effect in this “look-ahead mode”. it can.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18 (1), each of the symbol variation effects 1, 2, 3,... N is an expectation level at which a special game is performed; The special game expectation degree is classified into either the second type variation effect or the third type variation effect, which is higher than the first type variation effect, and the special figure variation time is the first type variation time shown in FIGS. The first type variation effect is performed, and if it is the second type variation time shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the second type variation effect is performed, and the third type variation time shown in FIGS. If so, the third type variation effect is performed.

  Specifically, in the symbol variation effect, as shown in FIG. 21, (1) after the three effect symbol sequences 16a start to fluctuate, (2) First, the effect symbol “7” on the left side changes and stops ( 3) Next, when the production design “1” on the right side stops changing, these production designs “7” and “1” are in a non-reach state. (4) Next, the production design “6” in the center changes. When the stoppage and the loss stop symbol string “761” are confirmed and displayed, the determination result “losing” is notified.

  As shown in FIG. 21, (2) after the left effect symbol “7” stops changing, (5) when the right effect symbol “7” stops changing, reach that these effect symbols “7” and “7” are aligned. When the “reach production” is started and “normal reach production” is performed that does not shift to the development production in that “reach production”, then (6) the central production symbol “6” stops variably, When the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, the determination result “losing” is notified, and (7) the center effect symbol “7” is variably stopped, and the hit stop symbol becomes “777”. When the column is fixedly displayed, the determination result of “big hit” is notified, and (8) the central effect symbol “★” stops variably and the hit stop symbol column “7 ★ 7” is fixedly displayed. If the result is “big hit” or “small hit”, There is notified.

  As shown in FIG. 21, (2) after the left effect symbol “7” has stopped fluctuating, (9) Next, the right effect symbol “7” fluctuates in a different manner from the normal, so that the right effect symbol “7” "Reaching production effect" is performed to determine whether or not "" is stopped and fluctuated, that is, whether or not the production pattern "7" on the right side is fluctuated to stop and reach the reach state. ) When the effect design “8” on the right side stops changing, the effect designs “7” and “8” become non-reachable. (11) Next, the effect design “6” in the center stops changing, When the loss stop symbol string “768” is confirmed and displayed, the determination result “losing” is notified. On the other hand, after the “reaching effect”, (5) the effect symbol “7” on the right side is the same as described above. When the fluctuation stops, these production symbols “7” and “7” are in a reach state where “ Over Chi demonstration "it is started.

  Note that the series of effects from the start of the fluctuation of the three sets of effect symbol sequence 16a to FIG. 21 (4) is the “N-losing effect” that is the first type fluctuation effect, and the series of effects up to FIG. 21 (6). The production is the “NR loss production” which is the second type variation production, and the series of productions up to FIG. 21 (7) or (8) is the “type NR production” which is the third type production, FIG. A series of effects up to 11) is a “reach roll loss effect” which is a second type variation effect. “N” means normal and “NR” means normal reach.

  Further, after reaching the reach state as shown in FIG. 21 (5) and starting the “reach effect”, as shown in FIG. 22, in the “reach effect”, (1) effect symbols “7” “7” Is moved to the corner of the screen and displayed in a reduced scale. (2) When the “SP reach effect” as the development effect is performed, after that, the “SP reach effect” ends, and (3) the center effect symbol “6” is displayed. When the stop of the change and the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, the determination result of “losing” is notified, and (4) the center effect design “7” stops changing and “777”. When the winning stop symbol sequence is determined and displayed, the determination result of “big hit” is notified.

  “SP” means special, and “SP reach production” is basically an effect with a higher degree of jackpot expectation than “normal reach production”. A series of effects up to 22 (3) is a “SP loss effect” that is a second type variation effect, and a series of effects up to FIG. 22 (4) is a “per-SP effect” that is a third type variation effect. .

  Further, after reaching the reach state as shown in FIG. 21 (5) and starting the “reach effect”, as shown in FIG. 23, in the “reach effect”, first, as in FIG. 22, (1) The production symbols “7” and “7” move to the screen corner side and are reduced and displayed. (2) When the “SP reach production” which is the development production is performed, the “SP reach production” is terminated. After the center effect symbol “6” stops fluctuating, it is restarted. (4) The effect symbols “7” and “7” move to the screen corner side and are reduced and displayed. (5) “SP / SP reach effect” Is done.

  Or, after reaching the reach state as shown in FIG. 21 (5) and starting the “reach effect”, as shown in FIG. 23, the “SP reach effect” is not performed. "7" moves to the screen corner side and is reduced and displayed (5) "SP / SP reach effect" is performed. When the “SP / SP reach effect” ends, (6) the center effect symbol “6” stops variably, and when the loss stop symbol string “767” is confirmed and displayed, it becomes “lost”. The determination result is notified, and (7) when the central effect symbol “7” is variably stopped and the winning stop symbol string “777” is confirmed and displayed, the determination result “big hit” is notified. .

  The “SP / SP reach production” basically has a higher expectation of jackpot than the “SP reach production”. From the start of the fluctuation of the three production symbol sequences 16a to FIG. 23 (6). A series of effects is a “SP / SP loss effect” that is a second type variation effect, and a series of effects up to FIG. 23 (7) is a “SP / SP effect” that is a third type variation effect.

  In this way, the variation effect control means 71 is determined by the variation mode determination means 44c (the special symbol is variably displayed) based on the special symbol variation start command received at the start of the variation of the special symbol. The above-mentioned “N loss production”, “NR loss production”, “per NR production”, “reach-reaching loss production”, “SP loss production”, “SP production”, “SP / SP loss production” One of the “effects per SP / SP” is performed.

  In particular, when the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” is determined by the fluctuation mode determination means 44c, the fluctuation effect control means 71 displays the special symbol in a variable manner at the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds”. 21 (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) “N Loss Effect”, FIG. 21 (1) → (2) → (5) → (6) “NR Loss Effect” ”, One of the“ reach roll loss effects ”shown in FIGS. 21 (1) → (2) → (9) → (10) → (11).

Here, the effect to reach the state of "N R loss effect" in (5) in FIG. 21; "reach established effect" corresponds to the first game effects, (9 in "reach tilting loss effect" in FIG. 21 ) Corresponds to the second game effect, that is, the fluctuation effect control means 71 has the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” (first fluctuation aspect) determined by the fluctuation mode determination means 44c. When determined, it is possible to perform a “reach establishment effect” as a first game effect or a “reach roll effect ” as a second game effect .

However, the change effect control means 71 determines the number of special figure determination information stored in the special figure hold storage means 43 before the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” is determined by the fluctuation mode determination means 44c (past For example, the value of the number of stored special maps held in the past four times (for example, the current number of special maps held in FIG. Under the circumstances, the number indicated by the virtual line A1 is changed from 4 → 3 → 4 → 3, and in FIG. → 5 → 6 → 7, under the situation where the current number of special figure hold in FIG. 14 is 0 as indicated by arrow C, 4 → 3 → 2 → 17 indicated by virtual line C1) based on the first or second game effects at different probabilities (the "reach established demonstration" or "reach fanning effect") Cormorant.

  Therefore, as described above, when the computer (command generation unit 65, command output unit 66) of the game control board 31 determines the first specific variation time “13 seconds” by the variation mode determination unit 44c, Based on the number of special figure hold, the specific fluctuation start command of either the first specific fluctuation start command or the second specific fluctuation start command is generated and output as the special figure fluctuation start command (see FIG. 15 etc.).

  When the command receiving unit 67 receives the first specific variation start command in the computer or the like of the production control board 33, the fluctuation production control unit 71 performs the “N loss production” “NR” with the probability shown in FIG. When the command receiving unit 67 receives the second specific variation start command by performing any one of the “losing effect” and the “reach-rolling loss effect”, the variation effect control unit 71 has the probability “N” as shown in FIG. Any one of “Lose production”, “NR Lost production”, and “Reach-shearing production” is performed.

  Specifically, before the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined by the variation mode determination unit 44c by the process (FIG. 15) executed by the computer (command generation unit 65) of the game control board 31, The number of past special figure determination information stored in the figure holding storage means 43 (any of the values at the time of the change in the number of special figure holdings in the past four times) is the first predetermined number (from the current special figure holding number). The first specific variation start command is generated) and the first predetermined number is not generated (the second specific variation start command is generated). Playing games.

  In addition, in FIG. 24, the number of past special figure determination information is not the first predetermined number for each execution rate of “NR loss effect” and “reach-hit loss effect” (the second specific variation start command is generated). ) Is higher than the case of the first predetermined number (the first specific variation start command is generated), but at least one execution rate of “NR loss production” and “reach over loss production” When the number of past special figure determination information is the first predetermined number (the first specific fluctuation start command is generated), it is not the first predetermined number (the second specific fluctuation start command is generated). May be higher.

  The variation effect control means 71 is an effect that can be performed when the variation mode determination unit 44c determines a variation time other than the first specific variation time “13 seconds” (first variation mode). Is assumed that the execution rate is not changed according to the number of special figure determination information (the number of past special figure holds) stored in the special figure hold storage means 43 before the change time is determined.

21 and FIG. 22, “reach establishment effect” in FIG. 21 (5) in the “SP loss effect” and “per SP effect”, and “SP / SP loss effect” and “per SP / SP” in FIGS. The “reach establishment effect” in FIG. 21 (5) in the “production ” corresponds to the third game effect, and “SP loss effect” in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 and “SP per effect” in FIG. 22 (2). The “SP / SP reach effect” in FIG. 23 (5) in the “reach effect”, “SP / SP loss effect” and “SP / SP effect” in FIGS. 21 and 23 corresponds to the fourth game effect.

In other words, the change effect control means 71 uses the change mode determination means 44c to select one of the second specific change times “20 seconds, 25 seconds..., 50 seconds”, “30 seconds, 35 seconds..., 60 seconds”. when determined (second fluctuation mode) can be a special game is performed after performing the first game effects ( "reach established demonstration") third game effects similar to the ( "reach established demonstration") It is possible to perform a fourth game effect (“SP reach effect” or “SP / SP reach effect”) suggesting that the game is highly likely.

  The hold effect control means 72 displays a special figure hold number (total of the first and second special figure hold numbers) and a considerable number of hold symbols 16b on the lower part of the screen of the image display device 16 (predetermined hold display unit). Each special figure determination information stored in the figure holding storage means 42 is displayed.

  When displaying a plurality of reserved symbols 16b, from the left side to the right side in the order acquired by the special figure acquisition means 41 for the corresponding special figure determination information (that is, the order digested by the special figure reservation digest means 43). When the special figure determination information is digested by the special figure reservation digesting means 43, the corresponding leftmost reserved symbol 16b is displayed and erased, and the remaining reserved symbol 16b is shifted to the left by one and displayed. .

  There are a plurality of types of display modes of the reserved symbols 16b (○ Δ ☆ shown in FIG. 25), ○ is a normal display mode, Δ ☆ is a pre-read display mode different from normal, and each of the reserved symbols 16b is a display mode of these multiple types ; Displayed as one of ○ △ ☆. In FIG. 2, all five reserved symbols 16b are displayed in the normal display mode;

  Then, based on the determination result by the prior determination means 44d, the special figure determination information that is the target until the special figure determination information that is the target of the pre-reading effect that has been reserved is digested by the special figure reservation digestion means 43. By changing the display mode of the reserved symbol 16b corresponding to “；” to any of Δ ☆, and further changing the display mode; Δ to “☆”, it can be expected to be a big hit.

  In the special game effect control means 73, a special game is executed by the special game execution means 46 based on an image (moving image) displayed on the image display device 16 and a sound output from the speaker 37 in accordance with the image. Sometimes, a special game selected from a plurality of special game effects (special game effects 1, 2, 3... N) shown in FIG. 18 (2) based on the opening command received at the start of the special game. An ending effect selected from a plurality of ending effects (ending effects 1, 2, 3... N) shown in FIG. 18 (3) based on the ending command received at the end of the special game effect. To do.

  The pre-reading effect control means 74 determines whether or not to perform the pre-reading effect based on the special figure holding increase command received at the time of acquisition of the special symbol information, that is, the determination result by the prior determination means 44d, and determines that the pre-reading effect is performed. In this case, the determination result (special game expectation degree) by the pre-determination means 44d based on the symbol variation effect and the reserved symbol before the special symbol information is digested with respect to the special symbol information targeted for the pre-reading effect. ) And prefetching that can increase the expectation of jackpot.

  Regarding the prefetching effect by the symbol variation effect, the prefetching effect control means 74 is in the “normal game state” or “latent probability game state”, for example, as shown in FIG. For special figure determination information that has been pre-determined to determine the time (usually lost), the pre-determining to select the "look-ahead mode" at a rate of 2% and determine the second type variation time (reach lose) For the special figure determination information that has been performed, the “prefetching mode” is selected at a rate of 5%, and the special figure determination information that has been pre-determined to determine the third type variation time (big hit or small hit) On the other hand, “prefetch mode” is selected at a rate of 20%.

  In the design variation effect control means 71, when the effect mode setting means 71a has set the “normal mode” or the “latency suggestion mode” and the “prefetch mode” is selected by the prefetch effect control means 74, At the timing determined by the pre-reading effect control means 74 (based on the scenario), the “normal mode” or the “latency suggestion mode” is changed to the “pre-reading mode”, that is, the symbol variation effect is performed in the “pre-reading mode”. When the special symbol variation display based on the target special figure determination information is completed and the big hit or the small hit is not reached, the mode is changed to the “normal mode” or “latency suggestion mode” again.

  Regarding the pre-reading effect by the reserved symbol, the pre-reading effect control means 74, for example, as shown in FIG. 27, the display type of the reserved symbol 16b is pre-determined to determine the first type variation time (normal loss). For figure determination information, a pre-determination is performed in which a display mode is selected at a rate of 5%; △ is displayed at a rate of 0%; ☆ is selected and a type 2 variation time (reach loss) is determined. For figure determination information, a pre-determination is performed in which the display mode is selected at a rate of 30%; △ is displayed at a rate of 10%; ☆ is selected and the type 3 variation time (big hit or small hit) is determined. For the special figure determination information, the display mode; Δ is displayed at a rate of 10%; the display mode at a rate of 30%; ☆ is selected.

  When the display mode; Δ is selected by the pre-reading effect control unit 74, the holding effect control unit 72 determines the special figure as the target at the timing determined by the pre-reading effect control unit 74 (based on the scenario). The display mode of the reserved symbol 16b corresponding to the information; ○ is changed to Δ and the display mode is selected by the pre-reading effect control means 74; when ☆ is selected (at the timing determined by the pre-reading effect control means 74 (based on the scenario) The display mode of the reserved symbol 16b corresponding to the special figure determination information as the target; ○ is changed to ☆, or the display mode; ○ is changed step by step from Δ to ☆.

The operations and effects of the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above are as follows.
When the player is in the “normal gaming state” or “latent gaming state”, the player operates the firing handle 7 to fire the game ball so that the game ball falls on the left side of the center object 15. The game ball is dropped on the right side of the center object 15 by operating the firing handle 7 when the game is played by “hitting” and the game is in the “short-time game state” or “probability game state” or when the special game is being played. As described above, a game is played by so-called “right-handed” in which a game ball is launched.

  By “left-handed”, the starter device 10 (distribution device 20), that is, the first and second starter ports 10a and 10b can be aimed. When a winning is made at one start port 10a, the first special figure determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure holding storage means 42, and the first special figure holding number increases by 1 and the second special figure holding number is less than four. In addition, when the game ball wins the second start opening 10b, the second special figure determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure holding storage means 42, and the second special figure holding number increases by one.

  In the sorting apparatus 20, a plurality of game balls introduced into the introduction passage 21 from the introduction port 21a are alternately distributed to the first guide passage 22 and the second guide passage 23 by the sorting mechanism 25, and basically the first The first starting port 10a and the second starting port 10b are alternately awarded. Therefore, the number of special figure reservations (total of the number of first and second special figure reservations) can be increased up to 8 by “left-handed”.

  On the other hand, by “right-handed”, the second starting port 11a and the gate 12 can be aimed, and when the second special figure holding number is less than 4, when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a, the second special figure The determination information is acquired and stored in the special figure hold storage means 42. When the second special figure hold number increases by 1 and the normal figure hold number is less than 4, the game figure passes through the gate 12, and the common figure determination is made. Information is acquired and stored in the ordinary figure storage means 52, and the number of ordinary drawings is increased by one.

  Here, first, the general symbol determination information stored in the general symbol hold storage means 52 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the change of the normal symbol starts, the number of general symbol hold is reduced by 1, and an auxiliary game lottery is performed. . Then, the normal symbol is variably displayed on the general symbol display 19c, and when winning in the auxiliary game lottery, the winning symbol is stopped and the auxiliary game in which the second starting port 11a is opened occurs.

  In the “normal game state” or “latent game state”, the player can hardly expect winning of a game ball to the first and second start ports 10a and 10b even if the “right strike” is performed, and the second start port operation mode. Since the low operation mode is set and the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 11a can hardly be expected, the game is performed by reducing the number of owned game balls by “left-handed”, and the “short-time game state” or “ In the “probable gaming state”, the high operation mode is set as the second start port operation mode, and it is possible to expect “winning right” to win a relatively large number of game balls to the second start port 11a. The game can be performed while substantially maintaining the number of possessed game balls.

  The special figure determination information stored in the special figure storage unit 42 is sequentially digested (erased) every time the change of the special symbol starts. At that time, a plurality of special figure determination information is stored in the special figure storage unit 42. If there is, the plurality of special figure determination information is digested in the order in which they are acquired (stored), and the number of special figure reservations (one of the first and second special figure reservation numbers) is reduced by 1, and the special game A lottery will be held. Then, the special symbol is variably displayed on either of the special symbol indicators 19a and 19bc, and when the special game lottery is won, the big hit symbol is stopped and a big hit game in which the big winning opening 13a is opened is generated. The winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and a small winning game in which the special winning opening 13a is opened occurs.

  In the big hit game, depending on the type of the big hit symbol that has been suspended, the big prize opening 13a is opened in any of 16R long-term opening, 8R long-term opening, or 8R short-term opening. In the 16R long-term release, for example, about 2000 game balls can be acquired, and in the 8R long-term release, for example, about 1000 game balls can be acquired. In the 8R short-term opening, game balls cannot be actually acquired. Depending on the type of jackpot symbol that has been fluctuated and stopped, any one of “normal game state”, “short-time game state”, “latent probability game state”, and “probability variable game state” is set as the game state after the jackpot game ends.

  Note that the special winning lottery based on the second special figure determination information (the winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 10b, 11a) regarding the opening pattern of the big winning hole 13a in the big hit game and the gaming state after the big hit game is finished. In the case where the player wins the game, the percentage that is advantageous to the player is higher than in the case where the player wins the special game lottery based on the first special figure determination information (the winning of the game ball to the first start port 10a).

  Based on this assumption, a plurality of game balls are alternately awarded to the first and second starting ports 10a and 10b by “left-handed” in the “normal game state” or the “latent-probable game state”, and the first special While the special game lottery based on the figure determination information and the special game lottery based on the second special figure determination information are alternately performed, a plurality of games can be obtained by “right-handed” in the “short-time game state” or “probability game state”. Since the ball continuously wins the second starting port 11a and the special game lottery based on the second special figure determination information is continuously performed, the gameability is improved.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol is variably displayed, the symbol variation effect suggesting the result of the special game lottery (special game expectation) is displayed, and when the special game is performed, the special game effect and the ending effect are respectively displayed. The display on the image display device 16 is mainly performed, and thereby the game performance and the game entertainment are further enhanced.

  Here, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, the variation pattern of the special symbol may be determined based on the current number of holds, and the symbol variation effect according to the determined variation mode is performed. The effect control for determining and executing the effect is based on the number of pieces of determination information (the number of past special figure reservations) stored in the holding storage unit before the start of the change of the special symbol (before the determination of the change mode of the special symbol). For example, in the present embodiment, the execution rate of “reach establishment effect” and “reach roll effect” that can be performed when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined. Is the same regardless of the number of special figure determination information in the past, the overall performance is also monotonous. Therefore, when paying attention to this problem, there is room for enhancing the performance.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, instead of the starter device 10 having the first and second starter ports 10 a and 10 b and the sorting device 20, instead of the model having the first starter port that is not open / closed, The player plays the game in the “normal gaming state” or “latent gaming state” by aiming at the first opening of the non-opening / closing type by “left-handed”, but the first special figure holding number is 4 In many cases, so-called stop-off is performed so as not to waste the game ball so as not to be consumed unnecessarily. When this is done, the number of shots of the game ball is reduced and the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is substantially reduced. It will be.

  Therefore, by providing the starter device 10 having the first and second starter ports 10a and 10b and the sorting device 20, in the “normal game state” or the “latent game state”, as described above, Since the plurality of game balls that have entered the introduction port 21a of the sorting apparatus 20 by “left-handed” basically win alternately at the first starting port 10a and the second starting port 10b by the sorting mechanism 25, And since the number of special figure reservations can be increased to 8 at the maximum, the said subject can be improved.

  In addition, if the number of special figure holds can be increased to a maximum of 8 in the “normal game state” or “latent game state”, a “reach establishment effect” or a “reach roll effect” can be performed (that is, (The first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined), and the overall production may become even more monotonous. On the other hand, the number of special figure holds can be increased to a maximum of 8. The change in the number of special figure reservations in the past can also have various trends (for example, an increasing trend or a decreasing trend) as game results, and this can be used to expect improvement in performance.

Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present invention, when the variation effect control unit 71 determines the first variation mode (the first specific variation time “13 seconds”) by the variation mode determination unit 44c , the “ reach ” It is possible to perform the “ realization effect” or the “reaching effect ”, which is stored in the special figure reservation storage means 42 before the first variation mode (the first specific variation time “13 seconds”) is determined. The number of special figure determination information; “ reach establishment effect” or “reach roll effect ” is performed with different probabilities according to the number of past special figure holds.

In this case, the value at the time of the change in the number of the last four special figure reservations is stored as the number of the special figure reservations in the past. “ Reach is established ” with different probabilities between the case where the number is the first predetermined number that is 2 or more than the number of holdings and the case where the number is not the predetermined number (the first predetermined number that is two or more than the current special figure holding number) “Direction” or “Reaching Production ” .

Specifically, when the number of past special figure holds is not a predetermined number (a first predetermined number that is two or more larger than the current special figure hold number) (for example, a change in which the number of past special figure holds tends to increase) When the number of past special figure holds is a predetermined number (a first predetermined number that is two or more larger than the current special figure hold number) (for example, the number of past special figure holds decreases) The “ reach establishment effect” or the “reach roll effect ” is performed with a higher probability than when the change pattern is a tendency.

Thus, when the special symbol is variably displayed in the first variation mode (the first specific variation time “13 seconds”) , the “ reach establishment effect” or the “reach surrender effect ” depending on the number of past special figure reservations. By changing the execution rate, it is possible to improve the monotonousness of performing the “ reaching establishment” or “reaching production ” , and thus to improve the monotony of the overall production. Can be realized.

Further, the fluctuation effect control means 71 uses the fluctuation mode determination means 44c to change the second fluctuation mode (second specific fluctuation time “20 seconds, 25 seconds... 50 seconds” “30 seconds, 35 seconds... when 60 seconds "either) is determined, a special game is performed after performing the first game effects (" reach established demonstration ") third game effects similar to the (" reach established demonstration ") A fourth game effect ("SP reach effect" or "SP / SP reach effect") suggesting that there is a high possibility is possible.

In other words, the “ reach establishment effect” or the “reach roll effect ” is performed, so that the player subsequently performs the “ SP reach effect” or the “SP / SP reach effect ” , that is, the special game is performed. can be expected, with respect to "reach established demonstration""reach tilting effect", the execution rate of the "reach established demonstration""reach tilting effect", since varied by past Japanese Figure pending number, game properties, In addition, it becomes possible to enhance the entertainment interest.

The above embodiment may be partially changed as follows.
(1) It is assumed that the symbol variation effect performed in the “look-ahead mode” corresponds to the first game effect, and the variation mode determination means 44c sets the first variation mode (first specific variation time “13 seconds”). When determined, the execution rate of the symbol variation effect performed in the “look-ahead mode” is made different according to the number of special figure reservations in the past.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 28, for the special figure determination information in which the prior determination for determining the first type variation time (normal loss) is performed as the special map variation time, 2% when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined in the previous determination made before and the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is still pending. When not held (except), the “look ahead mode” is selected at a rate of 1%.

  In addition, for the special figure determination information for which the prior determination for determining the second type variation time (reach loss) is performed as the special figure variation time, the first determination is performed prior to the preliminary determination. When the specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined and the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is still pending, the rate is 5%. ) Selects “look-ahead mode” at a rate of 2%.

  In addition, for special figure determination information for which a pre-determination for determining the third type variation time (big hit or small hit) is performed as the special figure change time, the pre-determination performed before the pre-determination is performed. When the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” is determined and the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” is still held, it is not held at a rate of 30%. When (except), select "Read-ahead mode" at a rate of 10%.

  In the design variation effect control means 71, when the effect mode setting means 71a has set the “normal mode” or the “latency suggestion mode” and the “prefetch mode” is selected by the prefetch effect control means 74, When the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” is still on hold, the special symbol is changed and displayed at the first specific fluctuation time “13 seconds” by digesting the special figure determination information. Is changed (at the start of fluctuation display), change "normal mode" or "latency suggestion mode" to "look-ahead mode" and hold special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific fluctuation time "13 seconds" If not, the “normal mode” or “latency suggestion mode” is changed to the “prefetch mode” at the timing determined by the prefetch effect control means 74.

(2) When the special symbol is variably displayed with the first specific variation time “13 seconds”, the “pre-reading mode squeezing effect” is performed in the symbol variation effect to determine whether or not the “pre-reading mode” is set, It is assumed that this “look-ahead mode turning effect” corresponds to the first game effect, and the execution rate of this “read-ahead mode turning effect” varies depending on the past number of special figure reservations.

  For example, as described with reference to FIG. 28, first, for the special figure determination information for which the prior determination for determining the first type, the second type, or the third type variation time is performed, the prior determination is performed. When the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” determined by the prior determination performed at 1 is still pending, the “prefetch mode” is set at a rate of 2%, 5%, or 20%. ”Is selected.

  And when the special symbol is displayed in the first specific variation time “13 seconds” and “pre-reading mode” is selected, “pre-reading mode effect” is performed at a rate of 100%. In the “look-ahead mode turning effect”, after the effect of instructing the “look-ahead mode” is performed, the change is made to the “look-ahead mode”, for example, when the next special symbol starts to change.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol is variably displayed with the first specific variation time “13 seconds”, if “prefetching mode” is not selected, “prefetching mode effect” is performed at a predetermined rate. In the “prefetching mode production effect”, after the gaze production that does not designate the “prefetching mode” is performed, the “prefetching mode” is not changed. Then, the predetermined ratio for executing the “look-ahead mode turning effect” that is the gas effect is varied according to the number of special figure reservations in the past.

(3) It is assumed that the effect of changing the display mode of the reserved symbol 16b (hereinafter referred to as “holding change effect”) corresponds to the first game effect, and the first change mode (first time) by the change mode determination means 44c. When the specific fluctuation time of “13 seconds”) is determined, the execution rate of the “holding change effect” is changed according to the number of special figure holds in the past.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 29, for the special figure determination information for which the prior determination for determining the first type variation time (normal loss) is performed as the special map fluctuation time, 5% when the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined in the previous determination made before and the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is still pending. Display mode at a rate of 1%; display mode at a rate of 1%; when ☆ is selected and not held (except), display mode at a rate of 2%; display mode at a rate of 0%; Select ☆.

  In addition, for the special figure determination information for which the prior determination for determining the second type variation time (reach loss) is performed as the special figure variation time, the first determination is performed prior to the preliminary determination. When the specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined and the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is still on hold, the display mode is 30%; Δ is 10% The display mode is selected at a rate of ☆; when it is not on hold (except), the display mode is selected at a rate of 5%; Δ is displayed at the rate of 1%; ☆ is selected.

  In addition, for special figure determination information for which a pre-determination for determining the third type variation time (big hit or small hit) is performed as the special figure change time, the pre-determination performed before the pre-determination is performed. When the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is determined and the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is still on hold, the display mode at a rate of 10%; , 30% display mode; ☆ is selected and when not held (except), display mode is 3%; Δ is displayed at 5% rate; ☆ is selected.

  When the display mode; Δ is selected by the pre-reading effect control means 74, the hold effect control means 72, when the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is still held, When the special symbol is variably displayed with the first specific variation time “13 seconds” due to the digestion of the special symbol determination information, the display mode of the reserved symbol 16b corresponding to the special symbol determination information that is the target; When the “pending change effect” to be changed to Δ is performed and the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is not held, the timing determined by the pre-reading effect control means 74 is used. The display mode of the reserved symbol 16b corresponding to the special figure determination information that is the target; the “holding change effect” for changing the mark ○ to Δ is performed.

  Further, when the display mode; ☆ is selected by the pre-reading effect control means 74, the hold effect control means 72 is when the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” is still being held. When the special symbol is variably displayed with the first specific variation time “13 seconds” by digesting the special symbol determination information, the display mode of the reserved symbol 16b corresponding to the special symbol determination information as the target; Change ○ to ☆ or display mode; “hold change effect” to change ○ gradually from Δ to ☆ is performed.

(4) When the special symbol is variably displayed with the first specific variation time of “13 seconds”, the “variation on hold change effect” is performed in the symbol variation effect to determine whether or not to perform the “hold change effect”. The “holding change turning effect” is assumed to correspond to the first game effect, and the execution rate of the “holding change turning effect” is made different according to the number of special figure holds in the past.

  For example, as described with reference to FIG. 29, first, for the special figure determination information for which the prior determination for determining the first type, the second type, or the third type variation time is performed, before the preliminary determination. When the special figure determination information corresponding to the first specific variation time “13 seconds” determined by the prior determination performed in the above is still pending, the display mode is 5%, 30%, or 10%; Select △ and select the display mode; ☆ at a rate of 1%, 10% or 30%.

  When the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner with the first specific variation time “13 seconds”, if “△ or ☆” is selected, a “pending change effect” is performed at a rate of 100%. Then, in the “look-ahead mode effect”, after an effect instructing “holding change effect” is performed, “holding change effect” is subsequently performed.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol is variably displayed with the first specific variation time “13 seconds”, if “Δ” or “☆” is not selected, the “pending change effect” is performed at a predetermined rate. In the “holding change effect”, the “holding change effect” is not performed after the effect that does not indicate the “holding change effect” is performed. Then, the predetermined ratio for executing the “holding change turning effect” as the gas effect is made different according to the number of special figure reservations in the past.

(5) For the first variation mode, that is, the first specific variation time, various variation times can be set in addition to “13 seconds” in the above-described embodiment. For example, it may be set to a variable time during which “SP reach production” or “SP / SP reach production” can be performed. In this case, it is assumed that “SP reach production” and “SP / SP reach production” are performed in any one of a plurality of types of production modes, and “SP reach production”, “SP / SP reach production” performed in one of them. As the “effect” corresponds to the first game effect, the execution rate of the first game effect may be varied depending on the number of special figure reservations in the past.

  In addition, various modifications can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the starter device 10 having the first and second starter ports 10a and 10b and the sorting device 20 is omitted, and a non-opening and closing first starter port is provided instead. It is applicable to.
