Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that uses a game ball to play a game.

  In general, pachinko machines are provided with a special symbol display device for displaying special symbols, an effect display device for displaying predetermined effects, a starting point for electronic lottery related to special symbols, etc. in the game board surface. When a game ball launched toward the game area wins the start opening, an electronic lottery related to the special symbol is performed, and the special symbol display device displays a mode of stopping after changing the special symbol. The result of the electronic lottery is reported. When the result of the electronic lottery is a jackpot, a jackpot game advantageous to the player is provided. In this jackpot game, the game device enters the winning prize opening that is exposed by opening and closing the attacker device a predetermined number of times, so that the player can acquire many prize balls.

  In addition, when the game ball wins the starting opening during the change of the special symbol, the reserved ball random number storage unit (memory) uses the random number acquired with the predetermined number (for example, four) as an upper limit as the hold ball random number ). When the special symbol related to the current game stops and the result of the electronic lottery is finalized, the stored ball random numbers stored in the stored ball random number storage unit are sequentially read out and the hit of the held ball random numbers is determined, The result is displayed by changing and stopping the special symbol, and the game based on the reserved ball random number is advanced.

  In the period from when this special symbol is changed to when it is stopped, various effects are displayed (variable display using effects symbols such as effects and dummy symbols). If the result is a jackpot, it indicates that the design for the effect is reach and the reach effect is displayed on the effect display device. For this reason, the player enjoys the game with joy at the display of these effects, but since the interest is gradually lost if the same effect display is viewed many times, in recent years, the device has been further devised. A directing mode has been devised. More specifically, the effects during the special symbol change were related to the current game, but were stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit while the game was being played. There is an effect that a notice is given in advance (so-called pre-reading effect) in advance of information suggesting whether the reserved ball random number is a big hit or a loss.

  For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, when a game ball wins a start winning opening (start opening), an icon (reserved ball random number is displayed on the variable display device (effect display device) formed by characters A, B, or C. A pre-reading effect such as displaying a display indicating that it has been stored, and suggesting the possibility of a big hit by the change of the icon is known. According to Patent Literature 1, the interest of the player is increased by the icon change mode, and the interest of the game is improved.

JP 2012-1000088 (paragraphs 0205-0222 etc.)

  The pachinko machine described in Patent Document 1 determines a start winning command (prefetch command) when a game ball wins a start winning opening (start opening), and pre-reads based on information included in the start winning command. The contents of the production are decided. On the other hand, when the game corresponding to this pre-reading effect is started, a start command (regular command) different from the start winning command is determined, and variable according to the actual game based on information included in the start command. The contents of the effect displayed on the display device are determined.

  As described above, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, when determining the content of the effect displayed on the variable display device in an actual game, the content is displayed on the variable display device in the actual game with reference to the start winning command. Since the content of the production has not been determined, there is a risk that the content of the pre-reading production and the content of the actual production will be production contents that are not related.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a pachinko machine in which the contents of the effects performed prior to the game and the contents of the effects performed in the actual game are related to each other. There is to do.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is specially triggered by a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, and a game ball winning in the start opening. A special symbol lottery means for acquiring a random number for a symbol and determining whether or not the special symbol random number is a big hit by lottery, and sequentially storing the acquired special symbol random number as a reserved ball random number up to a predetermined upper limit A holding ball random number storage unit, a variation pattern determining means for determining a variation pattern based on a lottery result of the special symbol lottery means, and various types including a notice by inputting a variation pattern command corresponding to the determined variation pattern An effect control processing unit that executes an effect, an effect display device that displays the effect and notifies the reserved ball random number storage unit that the reserved ball random number is stored in a predetermined manner; In addition, when one game ball wins at the start opening, one game is performed based on the result of the lottery by the special symbol lottery means. In the pachinko machine configured to be provided, the variation pattern determination means starts the game based on the first time point when the reserved ball random number is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit and the reserved ball random number. And determining the variation pattern according to the number of the stored stored ball random numbers stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit at each time, and the first time The variation pattern command corresponding to the variation pattern determined at step 2 is used as a prefetch command, and the variation pattern command corresponding to the variation pattern determined at the second time point is corrected. Each of the effect control processing units is configured to output to the effect control processing unit as a command, and the effect control processing unit determines a type of prefetch effect suggesting the content of the prefetch command based on the input of the prefetch command. A pre-reading effect control unit that performs display control of the pre-reading effect according to the determination of the pre-reading type determination unit, a notice effect control unit that performs a predetermined notification effect according to the determination of the pre-reading type determination unit, and an effect used for the game An effect mode determining means for determining, and an effect display control means for controlling display of the effect based on the determination of the effect mode determining means, the prefetch type determining means is based on the prefetch command, In some cases, the type of the prefetch effect is determined to be a special pattern, and the type of the prefetch effect is determined to be the special pattern. In the case where it is determined, the prefetch effect control means indicates that the reserved ball random number (hereinafter referred to as “special hold”) corresponding to the determination of the special pattern is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit. The display in the predetermined mode, the effect mode determining means determines the effect based on the regular command corresponding to the special hold, the notice effect control means to the regular command corresponding to the special hold On the basis of this, a special notice effect corresponding to the special pattern and the decided effect is determined in a manner associated with the predetermined manner, and the determined special notice effect is displayed.

  According to the present invention, when the prefetching type determining means determines the type of prefetching effect as a special pattern based on the input of the prefetching command, the prefetching effect control means indicates that the special hold is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit. Is displayed in a predetermined manner, the presentation mode determining means determines the presentation based on the regular command corresponding to the special hold, and the notice presentation control means is determined in a manner associated with the predetermined mode and the special pattern is determined. The special notice effect corresponding to the effect is displayed, and the effect display control means displays the determined effect. As described above, when the type of the prefetching effect is determined to be a special pattern, the present invention provides a special notice effect that takes into account the content of the prefetching effect and the content of the effect actually performed in the game corresponding to the prefetching effect. Since the content of the pre-reading effect and the actual effect content are related to each other via the content of the special notice effect, it is possible to have a relevance.

  In the configuration described above, it is preferable that a plurality of the special effects corresponding to the effects are provided, and special notice effect determining means for determining one of the plurality of special effects by lottery is provided. This is because the notice effect can be made rich in variations.

  Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience, in describing embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings, the word “special symbol” is abbreviated as “special symbol”, and the term “ordinary symbol” is “general symbol”. I will omit it. Unless otherwise specified, the term “game” refers to a game that is performed when a game ball wins a prize at the first start winning opening 37a or the second starting winning opening 37b.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pachinko machine P according to an embodiment of the present invention has a vertically-rectangular machine casing 1 installed in an island facility of a game arcade, and a door-like opening and closing to the machine casing 1. A body frame 2 that is freely attached, a game board 3 that is housed inside the body frame 2, and a glass that is attached to the front surface of the body frame 2 so as to be openable and closable, with a large opening 8 formed in the center. A door 4, a transparent glass plate 10 attached to the opening 8 of the glass door 4, and a front board 6 having a tray 5 which is disposed on the lower side of the main body frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed and accommodates a game ball. A launching device 9 provided at the lower part of the main body frame 2 and a handle 7 attached to the front board 6 are provided. Furthermore, the speaker 20 is attached to the upper part of the glass door 4 one each right and left, and the various sound effects regarding a game are emitted. As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko machine P includes a main control processing unit 100, a payout / launch control processing unit 105, a sub control processing unit 200, a prize ball payout device 14, and the like on the back side. Next, the configuration of the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 3 has a game area 31 on the board surface, and the game area 31 can be observed through the glass plate 10 after being attached to the main body frame 2. The game area 31 is partitioned and formed so as to be substantially circular by a guide rail 32 and a game ball regulating rail 33 for sliding the game ball, and the game ball launched to the upper part of the game area 31 by the launching device 9 is this The game area 31 flows down. Further, in the game area 31, an effect display device 34 for changing and stopping the effect symbol 53, the through chucker 21, the electric tulip 49, the stage 36, the first start winning opening (start port) 37 a and the first 2 A start winning opening (start opening) 37b, a general winning opening 38, an out opening 39, a game nail (not shown), a windmill (not shown), an attacker device 41 and the like are provided. Also, a special figure display device 17 for changing and stopping the special figure and a general figure display device 22 are provided at a position on the lower right side of the game board surface.

  In the present embodiment, the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b are provided with a gap in the left-right direction, and when the launching intensity of the launching device 9 is weak to medium (so-called bukko) When the game ball is fired for the purpose), the game ball basically flows down the left side of the effect display device 34. In this case, there is a possibility that the launched game ball may win the first start winning opening 37a, but it will not win the second start winning opening 37b or it is difficult to win the second start winning opening 37b. It is set to be.

  On the other hand, when the game ball is fired with the firing strength of the launcher 9 increased (so-called right-handed), the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 37b, but right-handed. The game ball is set so that it is difficult or difficult for the game ball to be won in the first start winning opening 37a. Therefore, when the player is making a right turn, the game ball is won almost only at the second start winning opening 37b. Note that the second start winning opening 37b has a configuration in which a game ball cannot win a prize unless the electric tulip 49 is opened. Therefore, the player usually advances the game while launching a game ball with the aim of budding.

  The effect display device 34 is provided in a substantially central portion of the game board 3 and is the result of the electronic lottery relating to the first special drawing performed when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a or the second start. A predetermined rendering mode is displayed based on the result of the electronic lottery according to the second special drawing that is performed when a game ball wins the winning opening 37b. In this embodiment, a liquid crystal display device is used. ing. In addition to the background image being displayed on the entire screen, the effect display device 34 synchronizes with the first special figure or the second special figure that is variably displayed on the special figure display device 17 as a part of the predetermined effect mode. As a result, the effect design 53 is displayed in a variable manner.

  In the present embodiment, numbers from 1 to 9 are used as the production symbol 53, and if the three numbers change and stop at the same number, the result of the electronic lottery becomes a big hit. A state where two numbers stop changing at the same number and one number is changing is called “reach”.

  In addition, the effect display device 34 is a display for performing a hold display (display that the hold ball random number is stored) when the hold ball random number is stored in the hold ball random number storage (memory) 115a, 115b. The area is partitioned so that the display of the effect symbol 53 is not disturbed. Specifically, a first reserved ball display area 34a for displaying that the reserved ball random number is stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is provided on the lower left side of the effect display device 34. In addition, a second reserved ball display area 34b for displaying that the reserved ball random number is stored in the second special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115b is provided. A command output from the main control processing unit 100 when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a or the second start winning opening 37b, and the special figure random number acquired by the winning is stored as a holding ball random number. When received, the reserved balls are displayed in these reserved ball display areas 34a and 34b (see FIG. 4). In the present embodiment example, a game display area 35 in which a notice effect described later is displayed is provided between the first reserved ball display area 34 a and the second reserved ball display area 34 b in the effect display device 34. .

  The special figure display device 17 is a result of the electronic lottery related to the first special figure performed when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, or the game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b. This is for displaying the result of the electronic lottery related to the second special drawing performed at the opportunity. More specifically, the special figure display device 17 displays the lottery result relating to the special figure in such a manner that the lottery result is stopped after the first special figure or the second special figure (for example, a number or a picture) is changed.

  In the present embodiment, a 7-segment display is used as the special figure display device 17. The special figure display device 17 is provided apart from the lower right portion of the game board 3 so as not to enter the field of view of the player watching the effect display device 34 at the same time. Then, the special figure fluctuates by causing the 7-segment display to blink, and the blinking stops and the fluctuation of the special figure stops by changing to a lighting display. This blinking time is the fluctuation time of the special figure (first special figure, second special figure).

  In the present embodiment, the game based on the game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a and the game based on the game ball winning in the second start winning port 37b do not proceed simultaneously. More specifically, the game based on winning of the game ball at the second start winning port 37b is prioritized and executed over the game based on winning of the game ball at the first starting winning port 37a. ing. That is, when the reserved ball random number is stored in both the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the main control processing unit 100 performs the second special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115b. The reservation ball random number stored in the figure hold ball random number storage unit 115b is read first, and the process related to the game is executed. Therefore, the lottery results of both the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b are not displayed simultaneously. Therefore, the special drawing display device 17 displays the result of the lottery based on the winning of the game balls in the two start winning ports 37a and 37b. Of course, it goes without saying that two special figure display devices 17 may be provided separately.

  The through chucker 21 has a gate structure through which a game ball can pass, and a magnetic sensor type through chucker detection sensor 46 that detects that the game ball has passed is incorporated therein. In addition, a general-purpose display device 22 for displaying the result of the electronic lottery related to the general diagram performed when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 is provided next to the special-purpose display device 17. . In the present embodiment, the general-purpose display device 22 is composed of two LED lamps, and one LED lamp is lit when hitting a common figure, and the other LED lamp is lit when lost. ing. In addition, the usual figure fluctuates by alternately displaying the two LED lamps in a blinking manner, and the blinking stops and the ordinary figure fluctuates by changing to a lighting display. This blinking time is the usual fluctuation time.

  The display control of the special figure display device 17 is performed by the first special figure display control unit 101a and the second special figure display control unit 101b of the main control processing unit 100, and the display control of the general figure display device 22 is the main control. This is performed by the general-purpose display control unit 102 of the control processing unit 100 (see FIG. 4).

  The electric tulip 49 is provided at the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b, and includes a pair of blade members that rotate about an axis orthogonal to the surface of the game board 3. When the solenoid is energized, The blade members are rotated in directions away from each other, and the entrance of the second start winning prize opening 37b is enlarged. As long as the electric tulip 49 is not opened, the game ball will not win the second start winning opening 37b. The electric tulip 49 is not limited to a structure in which the pair of blade members are opened and closed, but other structures, for example, the second start winning opening 37b is exposed when the plate-like member falls to the near side, and the plate-like member is exposed. It is also possible to use a structure in which a pachinko ball riding on the board is guided as it is to the plate-like member and wins the second start winning opening 37b (so-called Vero electric chew).

  Further, the stage 36 is a structure that is disposed below the effect display device 34 and in which the game ball stays temporarily while rolling. A groove is formed at the center of the stage 36, and a first start winning opening 37a is arranged at a position directly below the groove. Therefore, the game ball dropped from the groove is guided to the first start winning opening 37a with a high probability.

  When the attacker device 41 shifts to a jackpot game as a result of an electronic lottery according to a special drawing performed when a game ball wins a prize at the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b The device is opened a predetermined number of times. The attacker device 41 includes a plate-like lid member that opens and closes in the front-rear direction about a horizontal axis, and is configured to rotate around the horizontal axis by driving a solenoid (not shown). . When the lid member is opened, the big prize opening 42 provided in the lower portion of the game area 31 is exposed, and the game ball can be won through the big prize opening 42.

  That is, in the attacker device 41, since the lid member normally closes the big winning opening 42, the game ball does not win the big winning opening 42. However, as described above, when the player shifts to the jackpot game, the lid member Since the special winning opening 42 is exposed, the game ball can be awarded in the special winning opening 42. When a game ball wins the big winning opening 42, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls. That is, the player can win a game by winning a game ball in the big winning opening 42. The special winning opening 42 is a horizontally long rectangular opening, and the lid member of the attacker device 41 has substantially the same shape as the special winning opening 42.

  The game balls that have not entered the first start winning opening 37a, the second starting winning opening 37b, the general winning opening 38, and the attacker device 41 are collected from the out opening 39. Sensors 43a, 43b, 44, and 45 (see FIG. 4) are provided inside the first start winning opening 37a, the second starting winning opening 37b, the general winning opening 38, and the big winning opening 42, respectively, so that a game ball is provided. The winning at each winning opening is detected by passing. When winning in each winning opening is detected, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls.

  The front board 6 is provided with a receiving tray 5 that accommodates game balls and can be discharged to the outside. The tray 5 can accommodate not only game balls thrown by the player but also game balls paid out as prize balls and rental balls from the prize ball payout device 14. A launching device 9 for launching game balls toward the game area 31 is attached to the lower part of the main body frame 2, and the game balls accommodated in the tray 5 are supplied to the launching device 9 one by one. The Then, when the handle 7 attached to the lower right of the front board 6 is rotated, the launching device 9 can launch the game ball to the game area 31 with a launch intensity corresponding to the turning amount. Yes. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, an effect touch button 60 that is pressed by the player is provided on the side of the tray 5.

  The main control processing unit 100 is provided on the back surface of the game board 3 via a support member or the like. The main control processing unit 100 includes a CPU, a ROM that stores a predetermined control program, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that temporarily stores generated processing information and deletes stored information. When the CPU reads and executes various programs and data stored in the ROM, main processing relating to the game is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control processing unit 100 is a special drawing lottery processing unit (special drawing lottery) that performs electronic lottery related to a special drawing when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37a, 37b. The symbol drawing means) 110, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 that determines the special symbol type according to the lottery result determined by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, and the special symbol variation pattern (variation pattern command) are determined. Special figure variation pattern determining unit (variation pattern command determining means) 130, a game state setting unit 140 for shifting the gaming state to a predetermined gaming state based on the establishment of a predetermined condition, and a special figure lottery processing unit A jackpot game control unit 160 that activates the attacker device 41 (solenoid thereof) as a jackpot game when the lottery result determination by 110 is a jackpot game, and shifts to a jackpot game; Eteiru.

  In addition, the main control processing unit 100 has a normal drawing lottery processing unit 170 that performs lottery related to whether or not a normal figure is triggered when a game ball passes through the through chucker 21, and a normal figure change that determines a fluctuation time of the normal figure. A time determination unit 190, an electric tulip operation control unit 180 that controls the operation of the electric tulip 49, a first special figure display control unit 101a that performs display control of the special figure display device 17, and a second special figure display control unit 101b; The universal map display control unit 102 that performs display control of the universal map display device 22 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 updates the counter value one by one within a predetermined range (for example, a range from 0 to 65535) based on a clock signal periodically input. The special figure success / failure determination random number generator 111 for generating hardware random numbers and the first special figure success / failure for performing the lottery related to the success / failure of the first special figure when a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 37a. A lottery section 119a and a second special figure success / failure lottery section 119b for performing a lottery related to the success / failure of the second special figure in response to the winning of a game ball in the second start winning opening 37b are configured. . That is, in the present embodiment, the lottery means related to the special drawing is performed when the first start winning opening 37a is won and when the second start winning opening 37b is won. There are two things.

  The first special figure win / fail lottery section 119a is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (the timing at which the detection signal from the first starting winning opening detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing section 100). The first special figure success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112a for acquiring (latching) one special figure success / failure determination random number (special design random number) generated by the special figure success / failure determination random number generation unit 111; Depending on whether the gaming state at the time of determining whether the random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit 112a for determining whether or not the special figure is a big hit is a high probability state or a low probability state, the first special figure high probability determination table 116a or the first When the first special figure success / failure determination unit 113a determined with reference to the 1 special figure low probability determination table 117a and the first special figure success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112a acquire a random number, the acquired random number Hold related to When the first special figure or the second special figure cannot be started to change based on the stored ball random number, such as when the first special figure or the second special figure is fluctuating or during the big hit game, the maximum number is four (in other words, , A first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit (reserved ball random number storage unit) 115a capable of storing up to a predetermined upper limit of 4).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the first special figure high probability determination table 116a has a higher probability of jackpot than the special figure low probability determination table 117a. More specifically, the first special figure high probability determination table 116a has a jackpot winning probability set to 1/30, and the first special figure low probability determination table 117a has a jackpot winning probability set to 1/300. That is, the first special figure high probability determination table 116a is set to have a 10 times larger probability of winning than the first special figure low probability determination table 117a.

  More specifically, when the first special figure low probability determination table 117a is referred to, the result of the first special figure success / failure determination is a big hit when the special figure success / failure determination random number is between 0 and 217. When the value is between 218 and 65535, it is lost. Further, when the first special figure high probability determination table 116a is referred to, the result of the success / failure determination is a big hit when the special figure success / failure determination random number value is 0 to 2170, and the value is 2171 to 65535. When you lose.

  Similarly to the first special figure success / failure lottery section 119a, the second special figure success / failure lottery section 119b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second start winning prize opening 37b (a detection signal from the second start winning prize detection sensor 43b). Is acquired at the main control processing unit 100), and one random number for determining whether or not the special figure is determined is acquired (latched). Depending on whether the gaming state when determining whether or not the random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit 112b and the random number acquisition unit 112b for determining whether or not the second special figure is successful is a high probability state or a low probability state. When the second special figure success / failure determination unit 113b determined with reference to the probability determination table 116b or the second special figure low probability determination table 117b and the second special figure success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112b acquire random numbers, Acquired turbulence Is stored as a reserved ball random number related to the special figure, and when the first special figure or the second special figure is changing or during the big hit game, it is not possible to start the fluctuation based on the stored reserved ball random number. A second special figure reserved ball random number storage unit (holding ball random number storage unit) 115b capable of storing up to four (in other words, up to a predetermined upper limit of four) (see FIG. 4).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the second special figure high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of being a big hit than the second special figure low probability determination table 117b. In the figure high probability determination table 116b, the jackpot winning probability is set to 1/30, and in the second special figure low probability determining table 117b, the jackpot winning probability is set to 1/300. That is, the second special figure high probability determination table 116b is set to have a 10 times larger probability of winning than the second special figure low probability determination table 117b.

  More specifically, when the second special figure low probability determination table 117b is referred to, the determination result of the second special figure is a big hit when the special figure determination random number is between 0 and 217. When the value is between 218 and 65535, it is lost. Further, when the second special figure high probability determination table 116b is referred to, the result of the success / failure determination becomes a big hit when the value of the special figure success / failure determination random number is 0 to 2170, and the value is 2171 to 65535. When you lose.

  As described above, the determination values of the first special figure high probability determination table 116a and the second special figure high probability determination table 116b are the same, and the first special figure low probability determination table 117a and the second special figure Since the values determined in the low probability determination table 117b are common, the special figure lottery processing unit 110 uses the first special figure high probability determination table 116a and the second special figure high probability determination table 116b in common. The probability determination table 116, the special figure low probability determination table 117a, and the special figure low probability determination table 117 that share the second special figure low probability determination table 117b may be provided.

  In addition, the 1st special figure success / failure lottery part 119a refers to the 1st special figure low probability judgment table 117a, performs the lottery concerning the success / failure of the 1st special figure, the 2nd special figure success / failure lottery part 119b the 2nd special figure low / lottery part The gaming state in which the lottery related to whether or not the second special figure is determined with reference to the probability determination table 117b is simply referred to as “special figure low probability”, and the first special figure determination lottery unit 119a has the first special figure high probability. The lottery related to the success / failure of the first special figure is made with reference to the determination table 116a, and the lottery related to the success / failure of the second special figure is referred to by the second special figure success / failure lottery section 119b with reference to the second special figure high probability determination table 116b. Hereinafter, the gaming state in which the game is performed is simply referred to as “special figure high accuracy”.

  As mentioned above, when the reserved ball random number is stored in both the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the second special figure use The one stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit 115b is preferentially read out to determine whether or not it is a big hit, and control is performed so that the game proceeds according to the determination (special figure 2 priority processing). ).

  Next, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 will be described. The special figure lottery processing unit 110 determines whether or not the jackpot is won, whereas the special figure type determination processing unit 120 is for determining the type of special figure. In other words, in the present embodiment, determination of jackpot or lose regarding the special figure is performed by the special figure lottery processing unit 110, but the contents of the jackpot (the jackpot type, the number of rounds of the jackpot game, the attacker opening pattern, and the number of electric support) The special figure type determination processing unit 120 is determined. Details of the above jackpot contents will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the special figure type determination processing unit 120 sets the value of the loop counter to a predetermined range (for example, from 0 to 99) based on an interrupt signal that is periodically input (for example, every 4 milliseconds). The special figure type determining random number generator 121 for generating software random numbers by updating the range one at a time and the type of the first special figure by lottery when the game ball is won in the first start winning opening 37a The first special figure type lottery section 129a for determining the second special figure type for determining the type of the second special figure by lottery when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b A lottery section 129b. In the present embodiment, there are two types of determination of special charts: one that takes place when winning at the first start winning opening 37a and one that takes place when winning at the second starting winning opening 37b. .

  The first special figure type lottery section 129a is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (the timing at which the detection signal from the first start winning opening detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing section 100). The first special figure type determination random number acquisition unit 122a for acquiring one special figure type determination random number generated by the special figure type determination random number generation unit 121, and the first special figure type determination random number acquisition The first special figure type determination unit 123a that determines the type of the first special figure from the random numbers acquired by the unit 122a with reference to the first special figure type determination table 125a, and the first special figure type determination random number acquisition unit 122a When the random number is acquired, the acquired random number is memorized, and when the first special figure or the second special figure is fluctuating or the jackpot game cannot be started based on the stored random number, Up to 4 If, and a, a first special symbol type determination random number storage unit 124a that can be four to the upper limit) stored a predetermined number.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, the first special figure type determination table 125a has a table configuration in which a random number for determining a special figure type and the type of the first special figure are associated in advance. Specifically, the first special figure type determination table 125a stores a total of four types of the first special figure, that is, the 15R normal time short symbol, the 2R normal time short symbol, the 15R specific short symbol, and the 2R specific short symbol. Each of these four types of first special figures is associated with a special figure type determining random number 0 to 99. And since the range of the special figure type determination random value assigned to the first special figure is different, the probability that each first special figure is selected by the first special figure type determination unit 123a is different. It will be a thing.

  More specifically, among the four types of the first special figure stored in the first special figure type determination table 125a, the special figure type determination random number value of 0 to 9 is “15R normal time shortening”. "2R normal time short symbol" is associated with the random value 10 to 27, and "15R specific short time symbol" is associated with the random value 28 to 32. , “2R specific short time symbol” is associated with each of the random numbers 33 to 99, respectively.

  As is clear from FIG. 8A, since the total number of random numbers associated with the “15R normal time short symbol” is 10 out of 100 special figure type determining random numbers, “15R The probability that “ordinary short time symbol” is selected is 10/100 × 100 = 10%. The selection probabilities for the other 1st special figures are also calculated in the same way. The selection probability of “2R normal time short symbol” is 18%, the selection probability of “15R specific short time symbol” is 5%, and “2R specific short time symbol is short”. The selection probability of “design” is 67%.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the second special figure type lottery unit 129b is also generated by the special figure type determination random number generation unit 121 when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b. A second special figure type determination random number acquisition unit 122b for acquiring one special figure type determination random number, and a second special figure type determination table from the random numbers acquired by the second special figure type determination random number acquisition unit 122b. When the second special figure type determining unit 123b that determines the type of the second special figure with reference to 125b and the second special figure type determining random number acquiring unit 122b acquire the random number, the acquired random number is stored. At the same time, when the first special figure or the second special figure cannot be started based on the stored random number, such as when the first special figure or the second special figure is changing or during the big hit game, the maximum number is four (in other words, the predetermined number is 4). 2nd feature that can be stored) It includes a type determination random number storage unit 124b, a.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, the second special figure type determination table 125b has a table configuration in which a random number for determining a special figure type and the type of the second special figure are associated in advance. Unlike the first special figure type determination table 125a, the special figure types are stored in the second special figure type determination table 125b, which is a total of two types of second special figures, that is, the 15R normal time short-symbol symbol and the 15R specific time short-symbol symbol. Each of these two types of second special figures is associated with a special figure type determining random number 0 to 99.

  More specifically, among the two types of second special charts stored in the second special figure type determination table 125b, the special figure type determination random number value of 0 to 27 is “15R normal time shortening”. The “symbols” are associated with each other, and “15R specified short time symbols” are associated with the random numbers 28 to 99, respectively.

  As is apparent from FIG. 8B, since the total number of random numbers associated with the “15R normal time short symbol” is 28 out of 100 special figure type determining random numbers, “15R The probability that “ordinary short time symbol” is selected is 28/100 × 100 = 28%. The selection probability of “15R specified short-lived symbol” is similarly obtained and is 72%.

  When the lottery by the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 is a win, the main control processing unit 100 determines the type of special figure determined by the first special figure type determining unit 123a or the second special figure type determining unit 123b. On the other hand, when the lottery by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 is lost, the symbol designation command including the information on the lost symbol is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. The sub-control processing unit 200 determines the effect symbol 53 to be displayed on the effect display device 34 based on the symbol designation command.

  Next, the general drawing lottery processing unit 170 will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the general lottery processing unit 170 updates the counter value one by one within a predetermined range (for example, a range from 0 to 65535) based on a periodically input clock signal. When the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 (a detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 100) It is configured to include a general drawing winning lottery section 177 for performing a lottery related to the usual drawing (at a timing) and determining whether or not the drawing is successful.

  The general-purpose winning / not-lotting lottery unit 177 acquires (latches) one random number for determining whether or not a general-purpose / non-winning event has occurred in the random number generating unit 171 for determining whether or not a normal-time signal is received when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21. Random number acquisition unit 172 for determining whether or not the figure is appropriate, and a random number determining unit 173 that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit 172 for determining whether or not this is normal is determined by referring to the determination table When the random number acquisition unit 172 for determining whether or not the normal figure is acquired acquires the random number, the acquired random number is stored, and when the fluctuation cannot be started based on the stored random number such as when the normal figure is changing, the upper limit Up to four reserved ball random numbers storage unit 174 that can be stored as a reserved ball random number according to a general figure, and as a determination table, it is selected depending on whether the gaming state at the time of determination is a low probability state or a high probability state Judgment Table low probability determination table 176 having a low probability of winning per table with different tables, and Figure high probability determination table 175 having a higher probability of winning per map than this general map low probability determination table 176, I have.

  Although not shown, the ordinary figure high probability determination table 175 has a higher probability of hitting the ordinary figure than the ordinary figure low probability determination table 176, and more specifically, the ordinary figure high probability determination table 175 The winning probability per figure is set to 1 / 1.1, and the normal figure low probability determination table 176 has the winning probability per common figure set to 1/20. In other words, the ordinary high probability determination table 175 is set so that the probability of winning per ordinary figure is significantly higher than the ordinary low probability determination table 176. If lottery is performed with reference to the ordinary high probability determination table 175, in most cases, it will be won per ordinary figure.

  In the following explanation, the game state in which the general-purpose drawing lottery unit 177 refers to the low-probability determination table 176 and performs the lottery related to the general drawing is simply referred to as “general drawing low-probability”. The gaming state in which the part 177 refers to the ordinary high probability determination table 175 and performs the lottery related to the ordinary figure is simply referred to as “ordinary figure high probability” in the following description.

  Next, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 shown in FIG. 4 performs control so that the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 is energized to open and close based on the result of winning a lottery by the lottery processing unit 170. ing. The electric tulip operation control unit 180 opens the electric tulip 49 twice with an opening time of 1.2 seconds (interval 0.8 seconds) for each time of the general drawing during the “normal figure high accuracy”. During the “normal figure low accuracy”, the electric tulip 49 is controlled to be opened once in 0.2 seconds for each common figure. Therefore, as shown above, when the lottery is performed by the ordinary drawing lottery processing unit 170, the ordinary tuition wins almost every time the drawing is performed, and the electric tulip 49 is 1.2 seconds × 2 times. Since it is opened, the player can win the game ball in the electric tulip 49 relatively easily when the player is in the high probability of the usual figure, compared with the case of the low probability of the usual figure.

  Next, the gaming state will be described. The pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment is provided with three game states of “low probability”, “short time”, and “probability change” as game states. “Inaccurate” means a state in which the special figure is inaccurate and the figure is inaccurate. The initial state after power-on and the game state when the RAM is cleared are “low probability”. Also, “short time” means a state where the special figure is low-accuracy and normal, and “probability” means a state where the special figure is high-precision and normal.

  In this embodiment, when the type of special figure described above is determined, the type of jackpot, the number of rounds (number of jackpot rounds), the attacker release pattern, the number of electric support set after the jackpot game is determined from the type of special chart. Is now decided. This will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, each type of special figure is associated in advance with the contents of the jackpot that defines the jackpot type, the number of rounds, the attacker release pattern, and the number of electric supporters set after the jackpot game.

  “Big jackpot type” refers to either “ordinary hit”, which is a low probability of the game state after the jackpot game, or “probability hit”, which is a special figure of the game state after the jackpot game. It is determined. In the case of a normal hit, the game state after that becomes a low probability, so it is not easy to win the next jackpot. There is a high probability of winning a jackpot.

  “Number of rounds” defines how many round games are executed during the jackpot game. In the present embodiment, the number of round games during the jackpot game is determined to be 15 rounds (R) and 2 rounds (R).

  The “attacker opening pattern” defines whether the game is a jackpot game with a lot of balls or a jackpot game with almost no balls. “Full release” indicates a jackpot game with balls. A jackpot game with almost no balls.

  The jackpot game of the present embodiment is configured such that a round game that the attacker device 41 opens and closes a predetermined number of times is continuously performed a plurality of times. In one round game, the attacker device 41 is opened after the round game is started, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are won in the exposed big prize opening 42, or a predetermined time (after the round game is started). For example, when any end condition (round end condition) that 30 seconds have passed is satisfied, the process ends. In this embodiment, both “full release” and “high speed release” are configured to open and close once in one round game, and when one release time is “full release”, it is set to 30 seconds. In contrast, “high speed release” is different in that it is set to be an extremely short time of 0.2 seconds.

  For this reason, in the “full release”, a predetermined number of game balls often win the big winning opening 42 before a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the round game, and the player receives a prize ball ( About 1500). In other words, “full open” is a jackpot game with about 1500 balls. On the other hand, in the “high speed opening”, it is very difficult to win a game ball in the exposed big winning opening 42 because the time for the attacker device 41 to be opened during the round game is short. As a result, in most cases, the game ending condition is satisfied after a predetermined time has passed without the game ball winning the big winning opening 42. For this reason, “high-speed opening” means that almost no balls can be expected during a big hit game.

  Note that the jackpot game control unit 160 controls the operation of the attacker device 41 to provide a jackpot game with an attacker opening pattern corresponding to the type of special figure (see FIG. 4).

  The “number of times of electric support” is the number of games that can be played while receiving support from the electric tulip 49. More specifically, the special state lottery processing unit 110 is in a state in which the game state is normally high. Is the number of times that the lottery can be performed (that is, the number of games according to the first special figure and the number of games according to the second special figure). In the present embodiment, the total number of electric support times is 100 and 10,000. If you win the jackpot before reaching the set number of electric support, the remaining electric support will disappear at that time, and the number of electric support according to the type of special figure that was determined when you won the new Needless to say, it will be granted.

  Here, as mentioned above, since the winning probability of jackpot with special figure high accuracy is 1/30, the number of games related to the special figure until the next jackpot will never exceed 10,000, If you play 10,000 games with high accuracy, you will almost certainly win a big hit. In other words, the power support count of 10,000 means that the power support count is “until the next big hit”. Therefore, in the case of “15R specific time short symbol” and “2R specific time short symbol”, the game can be performed while receiving support by the electric tulip 49 until the next big hit.

  As described above, when the special drawing type determination processing unit 120 determines the type of the special drawing when the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 wins the big jackpot, the jackpot is determined according to the content of the jackpot according to the type. The game is controlled. Then, after the jackpot game is over, a predetermined number of electric support is given, and the game state setting unit 140 determines the game state related to the special figure after the jackpot game and the game state related to the common figure based on the type of special figure. Is controlled to set. The correspondence between the types of special maps and the contents of jackpots is as follows.

  The “15R normal short-lived design” has a jackpot type of normal, the number of rounds is 15 rounds, the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”, and approximately 1500 games are played in a single jackpot game. It corresponds to the contents of jackpot with a ball. The game state is set to be short (special figure low certainty and common figure high accuracy) until the game is played 100 times after the jackpot game is finished, and low (special figure low certainty and common figure low probability) after the 101st game. Set to In this way, since it is usually high-definition until 100 games are played after the end of the jackpot game, the electric support number is given 100 times after the jackpot game.

  The “2R normal short-lived design” has a normal hit type of jackpot, the number of rounds is 2 rounds, the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “fast open”, and corresponds to the content of the jackpot with almost no play ing. The game state is set to a short time from the end of the jackpot game until the game is played 100 times, and is set with a low probability after the 101st game. In this way, since it is usually high-definition until 100 games are played after the end of the jackpot game, the electric support number is given 100 times after the jackpot game.

  The “15R specific short-lived symbol” has a jackpot type of probable hit, the number of rounds is 15 rounds, and the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”, and about 1,500 hits in one jackpot game It corresponds to the contents of jackpot with a ball. The game state is set to a certain change (special figure high accuracy and normal figure high accuracy) from the end of the jackpot game until the game is played 10,000 times (until the next jackpot). In this way, since it is usually highly accurate from the end of the jackpot game until 10,000 games are played, the electric support number is given 10,000 times after the jackpot game.

  The “2R specific short-lived design” has a jackpot type of probabilistic, the number of rounds is 2 rounds, the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “fast open”, and it corresponds to the content of the jackpot with almost no play ing. The gaming state is set to be probable until the game is played 10,000 times after the end of the jackpot game. In this way, since it is usually highly accurate from the end of the jackpot game until 10,000 games are played, the electric support number is given 10,000 times after the jackpot game.

  Regardless of whether or not the gaming state at the time of winning the jackpot is a certain change or short time, and regardless of the type of special figure at the time of winning the jackpot, the gaming state during the jackpot game is low (special figure low certainty and low standard figure) become. Therefore, there is no impact due to low probability because the special drawing will not be a lottery during the jackpot game, but there will be no impact due to low probability, but the lottery processing will be performed as a low probability when performing the lottery related to the general drawing during the jackpot game. Will do.

  The correspondence relationship between the types of special figures and the contents of the jackpot is the same when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a and when the game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b. is there. That is, regardless of the start winning opening, if the type of special figure determined by the winning is the same, the corresponding jackpot content will be the same.

  Next, a process for determining the fluctuation time of the special figure will be described. The special figure fluctuation pattern determination unit 130 determines the fluctuation pattern at the start of the game, whereby the fluctuation time of the special figure relating to the game is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the special figure variation pattern determination unit 130 is provided with a special figure variation pattern random number generation unit 131 for generating a variation pattern random number used to determine the variation pattern, and the first start winning opening 37a. A first special figure variation pattern lottery unit 130a for determining the first variation pattern based on the winning of the ball and a second variation pattern based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 37b And a second special figure variation pattern lottery unit 130b.

  The special figure variation pattern random number generator 131 updates the value of the loop counter by 1 within a predetermined range (for example, from 0 to 2999) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 4 milliseconds). The software random number is generated.

  The first special figure fluctuation pattern lottery unit 130a includes the random numbers for the special figure fluctuation pattern generated by the special figure fluctuation pattern random number generation unit 131 when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a. The first special figure variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a that acquires one random number from the first random number acquisition unit 132a and the random number acquired by the first special figure variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a with reference to the special figure common variation pattern table 134 When the first special figure fluctuation pattern determining unit 135a for determining one fluctuation pattern and the first special figure fluctuation pattern random number obtaining unit 132a obtain a random number, the random number is stored and the first special figure or When the second special figure cannot be started based on the stored random numbers, such as when the second special figure is fluctuating or during a big hit game, the first special figure fluctuation pattern disturbance can be stored up to four. It is configured by including a storage unit 133a, a. The first special figure variation pattern lottery unit 130a, when one game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, similarly to the first special figure success / failure lottery unit 119a, for one special figure variation pattern per winning. Get a random number.

  Similarly to the first special figure fluctuation pattern lottery part 130a, the second special figure fluctuation pattern lottery part 130b also has a special figure fluctuation pattern random number generation part 131 triggered by the winning of a game ball in the second start winning opening 37b. From the random number obtained by the second special figure fluctuation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b for obtaining one random number from the random numbers for the special figure fluctuation pattern generated in this manner, When the second special figure fluctuation pattern determination unit 135b that determines the second fluctuation pattern with reference to the special figure common fluctuation pattern table 134 and the second special figure fluctuation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b obtain a random number, this acquisition is performed. If the first special figure or the second special figure is changing or the big hit game cannot be started based on the stored random number, write up to 4 It is constructed and a second especially diagram fluctuation pattern random number storage unit 133b that can be. Note that the second special figure variation pattern lottery unit 130b, when one game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b, similarly to the second special figure success / failure lottery unit 119b, for one special figure variation pattern per winning. Get a random number.

  The special figure common fluctuation pattern table 134 is a table used in common by both the first special figure fluctuation pattern lottery part 130a and the second special figure fluctuation pattern lottery part 130b. As shown in FIG. Two tables, a variation pattern table 134a and a shortened variation pattern table 134b, are provided.

  The characteristics of the normal variation pattern table 134a and the shortened variation pattern table 134b will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, the “main fluctuation time” is a normal loss fluctuation time when reach is not established (or is not handled as reach). In the figure, “Special Figure 1” indicates that the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a, and “Special Figure 2” indicates that the game ball has won the second start winning opening 37b. Each shows that. Further, the “reserved memory number” is the number stored as a reserved ball random number, and the reserved memory number for the special figure 1 is stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a. The number of reserved sphere random numbers, the number of reserved memory for the special figure 2 indicates the number of reserved sphere random numbers stored in the second special figure reserved sphere random number storage unit 115b, respectively.

  The normal fluctuation pattern table 134a is set so that the main fluctuation time in FIG. Specifically, when the number of reserved storages stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1, the main variation time of the special figure 1 is set to 12.5 seconds, When the number of memories is 2 and 3, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 7 seconds, and when the number of reserved storage is 4, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 4 seconds. That is, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved memories increases. Further, the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a is defined such that the main fluctuation time for the special figure 2 is exactly the same as that of the special figure 1.

  In the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is set to 20 seconds to 90 seconds for both the special figure 1 and the special figure 2, regardless of the number of reserved memories. In addition, the probability of reach when the lottery result by the first special figure win / fail lottery unit 119a and the second special figure win / fail lottery unit 119b is lost is set to be different depending on the number of reserved memories. Specifically, when the number of reserved memories stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1, the reach probability is set to 1/20, the number of reserved memories is 2 and In the case of three, the reach probability is set to 1/25, and when the number of reserved storage is four, the reach probability is set to 1/30.

  The shortening variation pattern table 134b is set so that the main variation time in FIG. Specifically, when the number of reserved memories stored in the first special figure reservation sphere random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1, the main variation time of the special figure 1 is set to 7 seconds, When the number is two, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 4 seconds, and when the number of reserved storage is 3 and 4, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 2 seconds. That is, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved memories increases.

  In the shortened fluctuation pattern table 134b, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is set to 60 seconds to 90 seconds for both the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 regardless of the number of reserved memories. In addition, the probability of reach when the lottery result by the first special figure win / fail lottery unit 119a and the second special figure win / fail lottery unit 119b is lost is set to be different depending on the number of reserved memories. Specifically, when the number of reserved memories stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1, the reach probability is set to 1/25, and the number of reserved memories is 2 In this case, the reach probability is set to 1/30, and the reach probability is set to 1/35 when the number of reserved storage is 3 and 4. In the case of a big hit, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is always selected.

  The first special figure variation pattern lottery unit 130a, when starting the game related to the first special figure, results of the success / failure lottery by the first special figure success / failure lottery part 119a and the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a. In addition to the stored number of reserved ball random numbers currently stored in FIG. 5 and the special figure fluctuation pattern random number acquired by the first special figure fluctuation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a, the gaming state at the time of determining the first fluctuation pattern ( For example, the first variation pattern may be determined based on the special figure type determined by the first special figure type lottery unit 129a. Similarly, the second special figure fluctuation pattern lottery unit 130b may determine the second fluctuation pattern at the start of the game related to the second special figure.

  In the present embodiment, the normal variation pattern table 134a is referred to when the gaming state is “low probability” (special figure low certainty and common figure low certainty). The shortened variation pattern table 134b is referred to when the game state is “probability change” (special figure high accuracy and normal figure high accuracy) or when the game state is “time reduction” (special figure low certainty and normal figure high accuracy). The

  Here, in the present embodiment, the special figure success / failure determination random number acquired based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 37a is stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a as the reserved ball random number. In the case of being stored, the first special figure fluctuation pattern determining unit 135a refers to the special figure common fluctuation pattern table 134 based on the fluctuation pattern random number acquired at the winning timing, and determines the fluctuation pattern, The variation pattern is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 as a “first prefetch command (prefetch command)”. This is to determine a hold display pattern displayed in the first hold ball display area 34a by performing a hold display pattern determination process described later (details will be described later).

  Further, the random number for determination of whether or not the special figure is determined is stored as the reserved ball random number in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a until the game based on the reserved ball random number is started. Is stored in the first special figure fluctuation pattern random number storage unit 133a. Then, at the timing when the game based on the reserved ball random number is started, the variation pattern random number stored in the first special diagram variation pattern random number storage unit 133a is read again, and the special diagram common variation pattern table 134 is referred to. The first variation pattern is determined, and the first variation pattern is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 as a “normal first variation pattern command”. The regular first variation pattern command corresponds to the “regular command” of the present invention, and will be referred to as the first regular command in the following description.

  That is, the first special figure variation pattern determination unit 135a determines the variation pattern twice based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning prize opening 37a. The first determination is a game ball winning timing (hereinafter referred to as winning timing) to the first start winning opening 37a, and the hold stored in the first holding ball random number storage unit 113a at this winning timing. A first variation pattern is determined according to the number of stored spherical random numbers. A prefetch command is generated based on the first variation pattern determined here and transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200. The effect control processing unit 201 determines a hold display pattern based on the fact that the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the prefetch command.

  The second determination is the timing at which the game based on the reserved ball random number starts (hereinafter referred to as the game start timing), and the hold stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 113a at this game start timing. A first variation pattern is determined according to the number of stored spherical random numbers. The first variation pattern determined here is transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200 as the first regular command. Here, in the present embodiment, the effect control processing unit 201 determines an effect and a notice effect pattern to be used for the current game based on the fact that the sub-control processing unit 200 has received the regular command.

  Note that when a game ball is won at the second start winning opening 37b, the same process as that when the game ball is won at the first start winning opening 37a is performed, and the second variation pattern (second prefetch command and regular second) is processed. Since the variation pattern command) is determined, the description thereof is omitted here. The regular second variation pattern command corresponds to the “regular command” of the present invention.

  A specific example of a part of the first variation pattern will be described below with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 14 shows the relationship between the first variation pattern and the random number value for the special variation pattern when the normal variation pattern table 134a is referred to when the result of the determination of success / failure by the first special illustration determination lottery unit 119a is “losing”. This shows the relationship and the contents of the first variation pattern. FIG. 15 shows the relationship between the random number value for the special figure fluctuation pattern and the first fluctuation pattern when the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a is referred to when the result of the determination of success / failure by the first special figure determination lottery section 119a is “big hit”. This shows the relationship and the contents of the first variation pattern.

  The normal variation pattern table 134a-1 (FIG. 14 (1)) is a table that is referred to when the number of reserved memories is 0 to 1. When the value of the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern is any one of 0 to 2849, the first fluctuation pattern corresponding to them is the fluctuation pattern No. 1 with the fluctuation time of 12.5 seconds. 1 Further, when the value of the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern is any of 2850 to 2999, the first fluctuation pattern corresponding to them is the fluctuation pattern no. 2 to 31. In these variation patterns, any reach variation time from 20 seconds to 90 seconds is defined. For example, the variation pattern No. No. 2 shows that the reach content is normal reach, the change time is 20 seconds, and the change pattern No. No. 12 shows that the reach contents are confrontation type reach, the change time is 60 seconds, and the change pattern No. In No. 22, the reach content is a story-type reach and the change time is 85 seconds. Therefore, when the value of the random number for the special figure variation pattern is 2850 to 2999, the variation pattern No. Reach reach time as defined in. Since the number of special figure variation pattern random numbers to be reached is 150 out of 3000 in total, the reach probability is 1/20.

  The normal variation pattern table 134a-2 (FIG. 14 (2)) is a table that is referred to when the number of reserved memories is two to three. When the value of the random number for the special figure variation pattern is any of 0 to 2879, the first variation pattern corresponding to them is the variation pattern No. with a variation time of 7 seconds. 41. Further, when the value of the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern is any of 2880 to 2999, the first fluctuation pattern corresponding to them is the fluctuation pattern no. 42 to 71. In these variation patterns, any reach variation time from 20 seconds to 90 seconds is defined. For example, the variation pattern No. 42, the reach content is normal reach, the change time is 20 seconds, the change pattern No. 52, the reach content is confrontation reach, the fluctuation time is 60 seconds, the fluctuation pattern No. In 62, the reach content is a story-type reach, and the variation time is 85 seconds. Therefore, when the value of the random number for the special figure variation pattern is 2880 to 2999, the variation pattern No. Reach reach time as defined in. Note that the number of random numbers for the special figure variation pattern to reach is 120 out of a total of 3000, so the reach probability is 1/25.

  The normal variation pattern table 134a-3 (FIG. 14 (3)) is a table that is referred to when the number of reserved memories is four. When the value of the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern is any of 0 to 2899, the first fluctuation pattern corresponding to them is the fluctuation pattern No. with a fluctuation time of 4 seconds. 81. Further, when the value of the random number for the special figure variation pattern is any of 2900 to 2999, the first variation pattern corresponding to them is the variation pattern No. One of 82 to 111. In these variation patterns, any reach variation time from 20 seconds to 90 seconds is defined. For example, the variation pattern No. 82, the reach content is normal reach, the fluctuation time is 20 seconds, the fluctuation pattern No. No. 92 shows the reach contents are confrontation reach, the fluctuation time is 60 seconds, and the fluctuation pattern No. In 102, the reach content is a story-type reach and the variation time is 85 seconds. Therefore, when the value of the random number for the special figure variation pattern is 2900 to 2999, the variation pattern No. Reach reach time as defined in. Since the number of special figure variation pattern random numbers to reach is 100 out of 3000 in total, the reach probability is 1/30.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the normal variation pattern table 134a-4 is a table that is referred to when the jackpot. Regardless of the value of the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern, any value from 0 to 2999 is determined. Specifically, the first variation pattern is a variation pattern No. when the random number for the special figure variation pattern is 0 to 99. 121-No. 130, and when the random number value is 100 to 1999, the variation pattern No. 131-No. 140. When the random number is 2000-2999, the variation pattern No. 141-No. 150.

  Next, the contents of the prefetch command and the regular command will be described. The prefetch command is composed of “BC + variation pattern No.” or “BC + 7FH”. The first special figure variation pattern determination unit 135a determines the variation pattern No. determined at the winning timing. No. In the case of any one of 1 to 11, 41 to 51, 81 to 91, the content of the prefetch command is “BC + 7FH” regardless of the type of the determined first variation pattern. On the other hand, the variation pattern No. determined by the first special figure variation pattern determination unit 135a at the winning timing. No. 12-31, 52-71, 92-111, and no. In the case of any of 121 to 150, the contents of the prefetch command are “BC + variation pattern No.”. On the other hand, the contents of the regular command are composed of “A0 + variation pattern No.”. Of the contents of the regular command, the variation pattern No. Is the variation pattern No. determined by the first special figure variation pattern determination unit 135a at the game start timing. It becomes.

  The effect control processing unit 201 determines whether the type of the variation pattern command received by the sub control processing unit 200 is a prefetch command or a regular command in “BC” and “A0” included in the command. Judgment based on. That is, when “BC” is included, it is determined that the command is a prefetch command, and when “A0” is included, it is determined that the command is a regular command.

  Here, the case where the content of the prefetch command is determined as “BC + variation pattern No.” and the case where it is determined as “BC + 7FH” will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 shows the relationship between the value of the random number for the special pattern variation pattern in the normal variation pattern table 134 that is referred to when the lottery result by the first special figure determination lottery unit 119a is “losing” and the reach content. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 16, it is assumed that the random number value for the variation pattern acquired at the winning timing is 2990. When the number of reserved memories stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 113a is one at the winning timing, the reach content corresponding to the first prefetch command is a story-type reach. When the number of reserved storages stored in the first special figure reservation ball random number storage unit 113a is four at the game start timing at which the game corresponding to the first prefetch command is started, it corresponds to the first regular command. The contents of the reach will be story-type reach. For this reason, when the random number for the variation pattern is 2990, the reach contents corresponding to the first prefetch command and the first regular command are both story-type reach, so the contents of the prefetch effect described later and the actual There will be no contradiction in the contents of the production performed in this game.

  However, when the variation pattern random value obtained at the winning timing is 2870, the situation is different. As shown in FIG. 16, when the number of reserved storages stored in the first special figure reservation ball random number storage unit 113a is one at the winning timing, the reach content corresponding to the first look-ahead command is the normal system reach It becomes. When the number of reserved storages stored in the first special figure reservation ball random number storage unit 113a is four at the game start timing at which the game corresponding to the first prefetch command is started, it corresponds to the first regular command. Reach content to be done is no reach. For this reason, when the random number for the variation pattern is 2870, the reach contents corresponding to the first prefetch command and the first regular command are different, so the content of the prefetch effect suggests a mode of normal reach. Nevertheless, normal reach will not occur in productions used in actual games, resulting in contradiction.

  The pachinko machine according to the present embodiment generates a prefetch command in which the content of the prefetch command is “BC + 7FH” when the random number for the variation pattern causing the contradiction is acquired. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives “BC + 7FH”, the effect control processing unit 201 controls the content of the pre-read effect and the content of the actual effect so as not to contradict each other. This will be described in detail later.

  The first prefetch command in which the content of the prefetch command is “BC + 7FH” is referred to as “first indefinite value command”, and the content of the prefetch command in the first prefetch command is “ The first look-ahead command “BC + variation pattern No.” will be referred to as a “first fixed value command”. Among the first fixed value commands, the fluctuation pattern No. “No. 121 to No. 150” is shown. Is referred to as a “first fixed value jackpot command”. Among the first fixed value commands, the first prefetch commands other than the first fixed value jackpot command are referred to as “first fixed value loss”. I will say "command".

  Of the regular command “A0 + variation pattern No.”, the variation pattern No. No. 1, no. 41, no. Since the first regular command including 81 is a first regular command whose reach content is not reachable, these first regular commands are hereinafter referred to as “regular first no reach command”, and the fluctuation pattern. No. Are “No. 2 to No. 31”, “No. 42 to No. 71”, and “No. 82 to No. 111”. Therefore, hereinafter, these regular commands will be referred to as “regular first reach lost commands”. The variation pattern No. Since the first regular commands including “No. 121 to No. 150” are jackpot first regular commands, these first regular commands are hereinafter referred to as “regular first jackpot commands”. To.

  Next, the payout / firing control processing unit 105 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the payout / launch control processing unit 105 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be capable of mutual communication, and is also connected to the CR unit 50 via the relay board 106 so as to be capable of mutual communication. The main control processing unit 100 is triggered by the winning of a ball at each winning opening (the first starting winning opening detection sensor 43a, the second starting winning opening detection sensor 43b, the general winning opening detection sensor 44, the big winning opening detection sensor 45). (For example, three for the first start winning opening detection sensor 43a and the second start winning opening detection sensor 43b, 10 for the general winning opening detection sensor 44, and 15 for the large winning opening detection sensor 45, for example) ) In accordance with a ball lending instruction signal indicating a predetermined number (for example, 25) transmitted from the CR unit 50 when the ball lending switch 51 is operated. By controlling the drive of the exit motor, a predetermined number of prize balls and rental balls are paid out, or the drive of a launch motor (a solenoid may be used) of the launch device 9 is controlled according to the value of the launch volume. In this way, it is possible to launch a game ball with a predetermined launch intensity, or to control the drive of the ball feed solenoid of the rectifier so that the game balls are sent to the launching device 9 one by one. Yes. When the CR unit 50 is not electrically connected to the payout / launch control processing unit 105, control is performed so that the game ball is not launched from the launching device 9.

  Up to this point, each process performed mainly by the main control processing unit 100 has been described, but from here on, the sub control processing unit 200 for receiving various commands and performing various effects will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the sub-control processing unit 200 includes an effect control processing unit 201, a lamp control processing unit 202 for controlling various lamps such as a frame lamp and a panel lamp, and a speaker 20 using a sound processor. And a voice control processing unit 203 for performing the above control, and is provided on the back surface of the game board 3 via a support member or the like as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the effect control processing unit 201 is an effect mode determining unit (effect mode determining unit) 210 that determines an effect used for the current game based on a regular command, and an effect mode determining unit 210 as a processing unit. An effect display control unit (effect display control means) 220 that controls to display the effect determined by the effect display device 34, a hold display pattern determination unit 230 that determines a display pattern of the hold ball based on the prefetch command, and a hold A hold display control unit (prefetch effect control means) 240 that performs control to display the hold display pattern determined by the display pattern determination unit 230 in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b, and a notice effect that determines a notice effect based on a regular command And a pattern determination unit (notice effect control means) 250.

  The effect display control unit (notice effect control means) 220 controls to display the notice effect determined by the notice effect pattern determination unit 250 on the effect display device 34. The manner in which the notice effect is displayed will be described later.

  The sub-control processing unit 200 determines the effect symbol 53 to be displayed on the effect display device 34 in the current game based on the “symbol designation command” transmitted from the main control processing unit 100. For example, when the production symbol 53 corresponding to “15R specified short-lived symbol” is set to “3, 3, 3”, “7, 7, 7”, the sub-control processing unit 200 displays “15R specific short-lived symbol”. "3, 3, 3" or "7, 7, 7" is determined by lottery based on the symbol designating command specifying "."

  Further, the effect control processing unit 201 includes an effect mode storage unit 260 as a storage unit. The effect mode storage unit 260 stores an effect mode table 261 that stores an effect mode to be displayed on the effect display device 34 during a game, and a hold display that stores a display pattern of a reserved ball to be displayed in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b. A pattern table 262 and a notice effect pattern table 263 are stored.

  The effect mode table 261 stores a normal effect table 261a and a shortened effect table 261b. Each effect table 261a, b has an effect (effect image data) corresponding to the variation pattern included in the regular command. ) Are stored. For example, the variation pattern No. 2 and variation pattern No. As the effect image data corresponding to 121, normal reach A, normal reach B and normal reach C, variation pattern No. 12 and variation pattern No. Confrontation reach D, confrontation reach E, and confrontation reach F as the production image data corresponding to 131, change pattern No. 22 and variation pattern no. Image data such as story reach G, story reach H, and story reach J are prepared as effect image data corresponding to 141, respectively. Then, when the regular command is sent at the game start timing, the production mode determination unit 210 changes the variation pattern No. included in the regular command. One of the effect image data corresponding to is selected by lottery. In this way, the effect used for the game according to the current first special figure or the game according to the second special figure is determined.

  The variation pattern No. Since the two are associated in advance so that the variation time defined in 1 and the production time defined as production are the same time, the variation start and stop of the special figure displayed on the special figure display device 17, It is possible to display the start and stop of the effect symbol 53 displayed on the effect display device 34 in synchronization with each other.

  In the hold display pattern table 262, as shown in FIG. 18, as the image data of the hold display pattern, the pattern 1 with the attach case closed (FIG. 18 (1)) and the change case of the pattern 1 include the attach case. Pattern 2 in an open state (FIG. 18 (2)), pattern 3 in a state where a character A appears from an attache case (FIG. 18 (3)), pattern 4 in a state where a character B appears from an attache case (FIG. 18 (4)) ), Pattern 5 in which character C appears from the attache case (FIG. 18 (5)) and pattern 6 in which character D (closed comic book) appears from the attache case are stored (FIG. 18 (6)). . Further, a pattern in which the color of each attach case of pattern 1 to pattern 6 is silver, a pattern that is red, and a pattern that is gold are stored.

  The pattern 1 corresponds to the “predetermined aspect” of the present invention, and the pattern 6 corresponds to the “special pattern” of the present invention.

  In the notice effect pattern table 263, as shown in FIG. 19, pattern 7 (FIG. 19 (1)) in which character E (open comic book) appears from the attach case is opened as image data of the notice effect pattern. A pattern 8 (FIG. 19 (2)) in which a predetermined title is written on the comic book and a pattern 9 (FIG. 19 (3)) in which no title is written on the opened comic book are stored. Although not shown, the notice effect pattern table 263 stores the same patterns as the patterns 2 to 6 stored in the hold display pattern table 262.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the hold display pattern determination unit 230 refers to the hold display pattern lottery table 232 and determines the color of the pattern 1 to be displayed in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b by lottery. 231 and the hold display change determined by lottery with reference to the hold display change pattern lottery table 234 to change the hold display pattern determined by the hold display pattern lottery unit 231 from the pattern 2 to the pattern 6 And a pattern lottery section (prefetch type determining means) 233.

  The hold display pattern lottery unit 231 refers to the hold display pattern lottery table 232 as to whether the color of the pattern 1 displayed in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b at the winning timing is displayed in silver, red, or gold. , Determined by lottery.

  The table 232a (FIG. 20A) is a table that is referred to when the prefetch command is an indefinite value command, and the color of pattern 1 and the selection probability are associated in advance. The probability of selecting silver is 90%, the probability of selecting red is 10%, and the probability of selecting gold is 0%.

  The table 232b (FIG. 20B) is a table that is referred to when the prefetch command is a fixed value loss command, and the color of the pattern 1 is associated with the selection probability in advance. The probability of selecting silver is 60%, the probability of selecting red is 40%, and the probability of selecting gold is 0%.

  The table 232c (FIG. 20C) is a table that is referred to when the prefetch command is a fixed value jackpot command, and the color of pattern 1 is associated with the selection probability in advance. The probability of selecting silver is 10%, the probability of selecting red is 80%, and the probability of selecting gold is 10%.

  As is clear from FIG. 20, the probability that silver is selected is the highest when the table 232a is referred to, and the lowest when the table 232c is referenced. When displayed in the display areas 34a and 34b, it can be said that there is a high possibility that the lottery result of the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 is lost. The probability that red is selected is the highest when the table 232c is referred to and the lowest when the table 232a is referenced. Therefore, the red pattern 1 is set in the holding ball display areas 34a and 34b. When displayed, it can be said that there is a relatively high possibility that the lottery result of the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 is a big hit. The probability that the gold color is selected is limited to the case where the table 232c is referred to. Therefore, when the gold pattern 1 is displayed in the reserved ball display areas 34a and 34b, the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 is selected. It can be said that it is determined that the lottery result is a big hit.

  The hold display change pattern lottery unit 233 determines whether the silver, red, or gold pattern 1 determined by the lottery display pattern lottery unit 231 is changed from the pattern 2 to the pattern 6. The lottery table 234 is referred to determine the lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, the table 234a is a table that is referred to when the command is an indefinite value command, and the change pattern and the selection probability are associated in advance. The probability of selecting pattern 2 is 85%, the probability of selecting pattern 3, pattern 4 and pattern 5 is 0%, and the probability of selecting pattern 6 is 15%.

  The table 234b (FIG. 21B) is a table that is referred to in the case of a fixed value loss command, and the change pattern and the selection probability are associated in advance. The probability of selecting pattern 2 is 10%, the probability of selecting pattern 3 is 40%, the probability of selecting pattern 4 is 25%, the probability of selecting pattern 5 is 10%, and the probability of selecting pattern 6 is 15%. It has become.

  The table 234c (FIG. 21C) is a table that is referred to when the command is a fixed value jackpot command, and the change pattern and the selection probability are associated in advance. The probability of selecting pattern 2 is 5%, the probability of selecting pattern 3 is 15%, the probability of selecting pattern 4 is 25%, the probability of selecting pattern 5 is 40%, and the probability of selecting pattern 6 is 15%. It has become.

  As is clear from FIG. 21, the selection probability of pattern 2 is the highest at 85% when the table 234a is referred to. Therefore, when the pattern 2 is determined, the prefetch command is an indefinite value command. It can be said that there is a high possibility. The selection probability of the pattern 3 is the highest 40% when the table 234b is referred to, and 15% when the table 234c is referenced next. It can be said that the prefetch command is more likely to be a fixed value loss command than a fixed value jackpot command. Since the selection probability of the pattern 4 is 25% when the table 234b and the table 234c are referred to, when the pattern 4 is determined, the possibility that the prefetch command is a fixed value loss command and a fixed value It can be said that the possibility of being a jackpot command is the same. The selection probability of the pattern 5 is the highest 40% when the table 234c is referred to, and is 10% when the table 234b is referenced next. Is likely to be a fixed value jackpot command. When the prefetch command is an indefinite value command and a fixed value lose command, the lottery result by the special figure lottery processing unit 110 is lost, and when the prefetch command is a fixed value jackpot command, the special figure lottery processing unit 110 Since the lottery result is a big hit, it can be said that the possibility of a big hit is very low when the change pattern of the hold display is determined as the pattern 2, and the possibility of a big hit is high when the change pattern is determined as the pattern 5. .

  The selection probability of the pattern 6 is the same as 15% regardless of which table is referenced. As will be described later, when the change pattern of the hold display is determined to be pattern 6, a notice effect is performed at a game start timing at which a game based on the hold display determined for pattern 6 is started. Thus, the player can predict the lottery result by the special drawing lottery processing unit 110.

  The hold display pattern determination unit 230 changes the pattern 1 displayed in the first hold ball display area 34a at the winning timing to the pattern determined by the hold display change pattern lottery unit 233 (hereinafter referred to as change timing). To decide. This change timing is determined as one of the game start timings of each game performed based on the reserved ball random number stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a at the winning timing. In the case of the pattern 1 displayed in the second reserved ball display area 34b at the winning timing, the change timing is determined by performing the same process as in the case of the pattern 1 displayed in the first reserved ball display area 34a. Therefore, the description here is omitted.

  The hold display control unit 240 displays the pattern 1 determined by the hold display pattern lottery unit 231 at the winning timing in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b, and displays the hold at the change timing determined by the hold display pattern determination unit 230. Control is performed so that the pattern is changed to the pattern determined by the change pattern lottery unit 233 and displayed. The manner in which the hold display pattern is displayed in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b will be described later.

  As described above, the hold display pattern lottery unit 231 determines the color of the pattern 1 by lottery based on the type of the prefetch command, and the hold display change pattern lottery unit 233 sets the change pattern of the hold display based on the type of the prefetch command. Therefore, the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment displays the color of the pattern 1 displayed in the holding ball display areas 34a and 34b at the winning timing and the display in the holding ball display areas 34a and 34b at the change timing. The changed pattern can increase the player's interest in the game by suggesting the possibility of jackpot. When the change pattern of the hold display is determined to be the pattern 6, the notice effect described below is performed.

  When the change pattern of the hold display is determined as the pattern 6, the winning timing at which the pattern 1 is displayed in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b corresponds to the “first time point” of the present invention. The change timing displayed after changing to the pattern 6 corresponds to the “second time point” of the present invention.

  When the change pattern determined by the hold display change pattern lottery part 233 is the pattern 6, the notice effect pattern determining unit 250 determines which title of the character D (closed comic book) is to be used as the notice effect. A notice effect pattern lottery section 251 that is determined by lottery with reference to the pattern lottery table 252 is provided. Specifically, the production mode determination unit 210 changes the variation pattern No. included in the regular command. An effect (fluctuation pattern) to be displayed on the effect display device 34 is determined from among a plurality of effects corresponding to, and the notice effect pattern determination unit 250 draws a title of the comic corresponding to the decided effect as a notice effect pattern lottery. This is determined by lottery with reference to the table 252. In addition, when a change pattern is the patterns 2-5, such a process is not performed.

  The notice effect pattern lottery table 252 will be described. FIG. 22 shows a specific example of the table 252a that is referred to when the types of the first regular commands received by the sub-control processing unit 200 at the game start timing are “regular reachless commands” and “regular reachable lose commands”. Part of the example. FIG. 23 is a part of a specific example of the table 252b that is referred to when the type of the first regular command received by the sub-control processing unit 200 at the game start timing is “regular jackpot command”.

  Further, the table 252b shows the variation pattern No. included in the first regular command. Is “No. 141” and the determined production content is “Story Reach G”, the probability of selecting the title of the comic book as “G1” is 10%, and the probability of selecting as “G2” is 30. %, The probability of selecting “G3” is 60%. 141 and story reach H, the probability of selecting the title of the comic book as “H1” is 10%, the probability of selecting “H2” is 30%, and the probability of selecting “H3” is 60%. No. 141 and story reach J, the probability of selecting the title of the comic book as “J1” is 10%, the probability of selecting “J2” is 30%, and the probability of selecting “J3” is 60%. ing.

  As is clear from FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, for example, the variation pattern No. included in the first regular command. No. 2 and the determined production content is normal reach A, the possibility that “A1” will be selected is as high as 60%, but the variation pattern No. included in the first regular command is high. No. In the case of 121 and the determined production content is normal reach A, the possibility of selecting “A1” is as low as 10%. Here, the variation pattern No. The type of the first regular command including 2 is a regular first reach lost command, and the variation pattern No. Since the type of the first regular command including 121 is a regular first jackpot command, when the title of the comic book is determined to be “A1”, the lottery result by the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 is a jackpot. It can be said that there is a low possibility.

  On the other hand, the variation pattern No. included in the first regular command is changed. No. 2 and the determined production content is “normal reach A”, the possibility that “A3” is selected is reduced to 10%, but the variation pattern No. included in the first regular command is low. No. In the case of 121 and the determined production content is “normal reach A”, the possibility of selecting “A3” is as high as 60%. Variation pattern No. The type of the first regular command including 2 is a loss command with regular reach, and the variation pattern No. Since the type of the first regular command including 121 is a regular jackpot command, if the title of the comic book is determined to be “A3”, the lottery result by the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 may be a jackpot It can be said that the nature is high.

  When the hold display control unit 240 displays the patterns 2 to 5 in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b at the change timing, the effect display control unit 220 displays the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b immediately before the game start timing. Control is performed to display the hold display pattern displayed on the game display area 35 at the game start timing. On the other hand, when the hold display control unit 240 displays the pattern 6 in the hold ball display areas 34a and 34b at the change timing, the pattern 6 is displayed in the game display area 35 at the game start timing for a predetermined time (for example, 1 second). After the display, control is performed so that the pattern 8 or the pattern 9 is displayed largely on the effect display device 34. The manner in which pattern 8 or pattern 9 is displayed will be described later.

  As described above, when the hold display change pattern lottery unit 233 determines the change display pattern of the hold display as the pattern 6, the effect mode determination unit 210 selects from among a plurality of effects corresponding to the variation pattern included in the regular command. One presentation effect is determined, and the notice effect pattern determination unit 250 determines one title from a plurality of comic book titles corresponding to the contents of the effect determined by the effect mode determination unit 210, and the effect display control unit 220. Shows the comic book (pattern 8 or pattern 9) in which the title determined by the notice effect pattern determining unit 250 is displayed before the display of the effect determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 from the game start timing. 34. For this reason, the player can know in advance not only the possibility of a big hit from the displayed title of the comic book but also the contents of the effect to be displayed (the presence or absence of reach, the contents of reach). The patterns 8 and 9 correspond to the “special notice effect” in the present invention.

  In the present embodiment example, a plurality of comic book titles are associated with one presentation. However, unlike the present embodiment example, one comic book title is provided for one presentation. May be associated with each other.

  Unlike the present embodiment example, if the current gaming state (probability, time reduction, low probability, etc.) is a pachinko machine that is kept secret from the player, the title of the comic book is the current game You may be comprised so that a state may be suggested. In this way, the title of the comic book can suggest or notify not only the lottery result by the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 and the contents of the effect to be displayed on the effect display device 34 but also the current game state. Therefore, the effect of the notice effect can be further enhanced.

  Next, a game processing procedure in the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 24 and FIG. 25. The game balls are won in the first start winning opening 37a. Since the game process according to the first special figure is the same as the game process according to the second special figure when the game ball is won at the second start winning opening 37b, the game process according to the first special figure will be described below. explain. Note that the series of processing shown in FIGS. 24 and 25 is performed periodically (for example, every 4 milliseconds).

  As shown in FIG. 24, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether or not the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (step S1), and if it has won (Yes), the first special figure success / failure determination is made. The random number acquiring unit 112a acquires a random number for determining whether or not the special figure is appropriate, the first special figure type determining random number acquiring unit 122a acquires the random number for determining the special figure type, and the first special figure variation pattern random number acquiring unit 132a acquires a random number for the special figure variation pattern. (Step S2). On the other hand, if No in step S1, that is, if the game ball has not won the first start winning opening 37a, the process proceeds to step S6.

  Next, in step S3, the first special figure winning / refusing lottery unit 119a stores the first special figure holding ball random number storage unit 115a in the first special figure holding ball random number storage unit 115a as the holding ball random number for determination. The type lottery unit 129a stores the special figure type determination random number in the first special figure type determination random number storage unit 124a, and the first special figure variation pattern lottery unit 130a converts the special figure variation pattern random number into the first special figure variation pattern. Each is stored in the random number storage unit 133a, and the process proceeds to step S4. In the case where the upper limit of four reserved ball random numbers is already stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a, the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (step S1). Even if Yes), the processing from step S3 to step S5 is not performed.

  Next, in step S4, prefetch command processing is performed. First, the first special figure fluctuation pattern determination unit 135a calculates the random number for the special figure fluctuation pattern stored in step S3 and the stored number of reserved ball random numbers stored in the first special figure reservation ball random number storage unit 115a. With reference to the special figure common variation pattern table 134, the variation pattern No. To decide. Then, the first special figure variation pattern determination unit 135a determines the determined variation pattern No. Based on the first prefetch command, the content of the prefetch command is “BC + 7FH” or “BC + variation pattern No.”. Further, the main control processing unit 100 immediately transmits the generated “first prefetch command” to the sub control processing unit 200.

  Next, in step S5, a pending number increase display process is performed. The main control processing unit 100 transmits a “pending memory increase command” to the sub-control processing unit 200 each time a reserved ball random number is stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a, and the main control processing unit The special figure holding memory display device (not shown) connected to 100 displays that the holding ball random number is stored.

  Next, in step 6, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether the first special figure or the second special figure is changing. If not changing (No), the main control processing unit 100 proceeds to step S7. If Yes in step S6, that is, if the special figure is changing, the process proceeds to step S15.

  Next, in step S7, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether or not a jackpot game is being played, and if it is not a jackpot game (No), the process proceeds to step S8. In the case of Yes in step S7, that is, in the case of a jackpot game, the process proceeds to step S19.

  Next, in step S8, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a stores one or more reserved ball random numbers, and stores one or more reserved ball random numbers. If yes (Yes), the process proceeds to step S9. In the case of No in step S8, that is, when the first special figure holding ball random number storage unit 115a does not store the holding ball random number, the game processing related to one first special figure ends.

  Next, in step S9, a jackpot determination process is performed. In other words, the stored ball random number stored first in the stored ball random numbers stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a (hereinafter referred to as the first stored ball random number) is a big hit. The first special figure determination unit 113a determines whether or not. Each time the jackpot determination process is performed, the earliest reserved ball random number stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is deleted.

  Next, in step S10, special figure type determination processing is performed. Specifically, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined as a result of the jackpot determination process in step S9, the type of the special figure corresponding to the jackpot based on the special figure type determining random number corresponding to the earliest reserved ball random number To decide. That is, referring to FIG. 8A, the type of one first special figure is determined in step S10. Depending on the type of the first special figure determined, whether the current jackpot is a probable hit or a normal hit, how many rounds are in the jackpot game, the attacker opening pattern is full opening and high speed opening And the number of times of the electric support after the jackpot game ends is determined. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S9 that there is a loss, the first special figure is determined to be a loss symbol, and the process in step S10 ends. Each time the special figure type determination process is performed, the special figure type determination random number corresponding to the earliest reserved ball random number stored in the first special figure type determination random number storage unit 124a is erased.

  Next, in step S11, special figure variation pattern determination processing is performed. In the special figure fluctuation pattern determination process, the special figure fluctuation pattern random number corresponding to the earliest reserved ball random number and the number of reserved ball random numbers stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a are stored. The first special figure variation pattern determination unit 135a determines the first variation pattern with reference to either the normal variation pattern table 134a or the shortened variation pattern table 134b. Each time the special figure fluctuation pattern determination process is performed, the special figure fluctuation pattern random number corresponding to the earliest reserved ball random number stored in the first special figure fluctuation pattern random number storage unit 133a is erased.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, in steps S12 to S14, command transmission processing, pending number reduction display processing, and special figure variation start processing are performed. The main control processing unit 100 transmits to the sub-control processing unit 200 the type of the special figure determined in step S10 as the command transmission process as a “design designation command”, and the first variation pattern determined in step S11. It transmits as a “first regular command” (step S12). The main control processing unit 100 transmits a “hold memory reduction command” to the sub-control processing unit 200 as the hold number reduction display process, and each time the jackpot determination process is performed in step S9, the special figure hold memory The fact that the hold display corresponding to the earliest hold ball random number displayed on the display device (not shown) has been digested is displayed (step S13). In addition, the first special figure display control unit 101a causes the special figure display device 17 to start the variable display of the first special figure (step S14).

  In other words, in steps S12 to S14, at the timing when the first special figure starts to change in the special figure display device 17, the main control processing unit 100 reduces the number of reservations of the special figure reservation memory display device (not shown). In addition to performing display processing, the symbol designation command, the first regular command, and the reserved memory reduction command are transmitted to the sub-control processing unit 200.

  Next, in step S15, the main control processing unit 100 starts the variation display of the first special figure in step S14, and then the variation time of the special figure included in the first regular command corresponding to the game, It is determined whether it has elapsed, and if it has elapsed (Yes), the process proceeds to step S16. In the case of No in step S15, that is, when the variation time of the special figure has not elapsed, the game processing related to one first special figure ends.

  Next, in step S <b> 16, the main control processing unit 100 transmits a stop command such as an effect symbol to the sub control processing unit 200. In addition, the first special figure display control unit 101a causes the special figure display device 17 to stop display the first special figure. At this time, if the symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 17 is determined to be a big hit in step S9, the symbol corresponding to the type of the first special symbol determined in step S10 is, If it is determined in step S9 that the game has been lost, a lost symbol corresponding to the loss is obtained.

  Next, in step S17, when the stopped first special figure is confirmed with the jackpot combination (Yes), the jackpot game control unit 160 sets the type of the first special figure determined in step S10. The attacker device 41 is opened with a predetermined predetermined attacker release pattern to start a big hit game (step S18). If No in step S17, that is, if the stopped first special figure is lost, the process proceeds to step S21.

  Next, in step S19, the jackpot game control unit 160 determines whether or not the jackpot game end condition is satisfied. If the end condition is satisfied (Yes), the jackpot game is determined in step S20. Exit. In the case of No in step S19, that is, when the jackpot game has not ended, the game processing according to one first special figure ends.

  Next, in step S21, as a game state setting process, the game state setting unit 140 sets the game state of the special figure in the next game with the special figure low probability or the special figure high accuracy, and the normal game state. Is set to high accuracy or low accuracy.

  In the case of Yes in step S17, that is, if a big win is won in this game, the game state setting unit 140, based on the type of special figure determined in step S10, will play the game in the next game. On the other hand, in the case of No in step S17, that is, in the case where the jackpot is not won in the current game, the state is set according to the number of electric supporters set after the end of the previous jackpot game. The gaming state is set to high accuracy or low accuracy. That is, when it is not the timing at which the game state according to the special figure or the general figure changes, the game state setting unit 140 continues the current game state.

  More specifically, in the case of No in step S17, if the number of electric support is set to 100 after the end of the previous jackpot game, the current game is counted from the first game after the previous jackpot game. When it corresponds to the 100th time, the gaming state setting unit 140 sets the gaming state according to the usual figure from the usual high accuracy to the usual low accuracy.

  When the game state in the next game is set in step S21, the game process related to one first special figure is completed. The main control processing unit 100 appropriately displays various effects on the effect display device 34 in the sub-control processing unit 200 during steps S18 to S21, that is, from the start of the jackpot game to the game state setting process. A command related to this instruction is transmitted, but a description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, command reception processing of the sub control processing unit 200 in the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. As described above, the main control processing unit 100 appropriately transmits a command to the sub control processing unit 200 while the game processing related to one first special figure is performed. Therefore, the command reception process at the winning timing when the game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a will be described with reference to FIG. 26, and the game start timing at which the game according to the first special figure will start with reference to FIG. The command reception process in will be described. In addition, since the command reception process when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a and the command reception process when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b are the same, the first start will be described below. Only the command receiving process when a game ball wins the winning opening 37a will be described.

  First, the command reception process at the winning timing will be described. As shown in FIG. 26, when receiving the “pending memory increase command” and the “first prefetch command” from the main control processing unit 100 (step S31), the sub control processing unit 200 proceeds to step S32.

  Next, a hold display pattern determination process is performed in step S32. First, the hold display pattern lottery unit 231 refers to the hold display pattern lottery table 232 according to the type of the received first look-ahead command (first indefinite value command, first fixed value lose command, first fixed value jackpot command). Then, the color of the pattern 1 displayed in the first reserved ball display area 34a is determined by lottery, and then the hold display change pattern lottery unit 233 holds the hold display change pattern according to the type of the received first prefetch command. With reference to the lottery table 234, the change pattern is determined by lottery. Finally, the hold display pattern determination unit 230 determines the change timing, and ends the hold display pattern determination process.

  Subsequently, it progresses to step S33 and a pending | holding display increase process is performed. The hold display control unit 240 controls the pattern 1 determined in step S32 to be displayed on the first hold ball display area 34a at the winning timing, thereby notifying the player that the hold ball random number has been stored. . When the process of step S33 ends, the command reception process at the winning timing ends.

  Next, command reception processing at the game start timing (at the start of change) will be described. As shown in FIG. 27, when receiving the “pending memory reduction command”, “design designation command”, and “first regular command” from the main control processing unit 100, the sub control processing unit 200 proceeds to step S42.

  Next, in step S42, the sub-control processing unit 200 determines an effect symbol 53 to be displayed in the current game based on the received symbol designation command.

  Next, in step S43, an effect mode determination process is performed. In this effect mode determination process, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to each of the effect tables 261a and 261b and determines the current game based on the variation pattern included in the first regular command received by the sub-control processing unit 200. Decide which production to use. For example, when the first regular command “A0 + No. 131” is sent to the sub-control processing unit 200 in this game, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the effect table 261 and changes the variation time An effect to be used in the current game is determined by lottery from the confrontation reach A, confrontation reach B, and confrontation reach C corresponding to the confrontation reach of 60 seconds.

  Next, in step S44, a notice effect pattern determination process is performed. In this notice effect pattern determination process, the title of the comic book corresponding to the effect determined in step S43 is determined. As shown in FIG. 28, the preview effect pattern determination unit 250 determines whether or not the change pattern determined in the hold display pattern determination process in step S32 is the pattern 6 (step S51). If the pattern 6 is determined (Yes), the process proceeds to step S52.

  In step S52, the notice effect pattern lottery unit 251 determines the notice effect pattern according to the type of the first regular command (the first regular no reach command, the first regular reach lost command, the first regular jackpot command). With reference to the lottery table 252, the variation pattern No. included in the first regular command is changed. And one title is determined by lottery from a plurality of comic book titles corresponding to the contents of the effect determined by the effect mode determining unit 210, and the notice effect pattern determining process is terminated.

  If the change pattern is not determined to be pattern 6 (No in step S51), that is, if the change pattern is determined to be pattern 2 to pattern 5, the notice effect pattern determination process ends.

  Returning to FIG. 27, a hold display reduction process is then performed in step S45. When the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the “reserved memory reduction command”, the effect display control unit 220 corresponds to the earliest reserved ball random number among the displayed held balls displayed in the first reserved ball display area 34a. The hold display pattern to be controlled is controlled to be displayed in the game display area 35 to indicate to the player that the game of the first special figure based on the notice effect pattern displayed in the game display area 35 will be started.

  Next, in step S46, when the title of the comic book is determined by the notice effect pattern determination process performed in step S44 (Yes in step S51), the effect display control unit 220 displays in the game display area 35. The pattern D character C (comic book) with pattern 6 being displayed jumps out from the game display area 35 to the effect display device 34, and pattern 8 (comic book with title display) or pattern 9 (comic book without title display). Is displayed. After the pattern 8 or the pattern 9 is displayed, the effect display control unit 220 starts displaying the effect determined in step S43 and starts displaying the effect symbol 53 in a variable manner. On the other hand, the effect display control unit 220 is determined in step S43 when the change pattern is determined as any one of patterns 2 to 5 in the notice effect pattern determination process (No in step S51). Start production display.

  When the process of step S46 ends, the command reception process at the game start timing ends. In addition, as described above, the main control processing unit 100 transmits a “designation symbol stop command” to the sub control processing unit 200 in synchronization with the change stop of the first special figure (step S16). When the control processing unit 200 receives the stop command for the effect symbol and the like, the effect display control unit 220 stops the variable display of the effect symbol 53 that has been displayed in step S46 and stops the display of the effect mode. At this time, the effect symbol 53 stopped and displayed on the effect display device 34 is the effect symbol 53 determined in step S42.

  Next, specific example 1 of the hold display will be described with reference to FIG. 29 and specific example 2 with reference to FIG. Specific example 1 is an example in the case where the hold display change pattern is determined to be other than pattern 6, and specific example 2 is an example in which the hold display change pattern is determined to be pattern 6. In FIGS. 29 and 30, pattern 1 is displayed in the first reserved ball display area 34a when the upper limit fourth reserved ball random number is stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a. After the display, the game based on the reserved ball random number of the pattern 1 is started and the effect displayed on the effect display device 34, the first reserved ball display area 34a and the game display area 35 until the game ends. It shows the situation.

  29, when the fourth hold is stored, the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the first prefetch command “BC + No. 141” (fixed value jackpot command), and effects control processing Based on the first look-ahead command, the unit 201 sets the hold display pattern to “red pattern 1”, the hold display change pattern to “pattern 3”, and the hold display change timing to 2 of 4 holds. This is a case where the game is determined to be the second game (game of hold 2) (step S32). The content of the first regular command corresponding to the first prefetch command is “A0 + No. 141” (regular jackpot command), and the lottery result of the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 is a jackpot. The jackpot will not be won until the jackpot is reached.

  A first reserved ball display area 34a is provided on the lower left side of the effect display device 34, a second reserved ball display area 34b is provided on the lower right side, and the first reserved ball display area 34a and the second reserved ball display area 34b are provided. A game display area 35 is provided (FIG. 29A). Three arrows in the figure indicate that the production symbol 53 is fluctuating.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (b), when the reserved ball random number is stored in the hold 4 during the change of the effect symbol 53, the red pattern 1 is displayed in the first reserved ball display area 34a.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (c), when a game based on the first stored ball random number (hold 1 in FIG. 29 (b)) among the four stored stored ball random numbers is started, the effect symbol 53 is displayed. As the fluctuation starts, the display in the first reserved ball display area 34a moves to the right one by one. For this reason, the red pattern 1 based on the hold 4 moves to the hold 3.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (d), at the timing (change timing) when the red pattern 1 based on the hold 3 moves to the hold 2, the hold display control unit 240 changes the red pattern 1 to the pattern 3 and displays it. To do. At this time, the player expects that the game based on the reserved ball random number of pattern 3 may have won the jackpot due to the change of pattern 1 to pattern 3.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (e), when the game based on hold 1 in FIG. 29 (d) starts, the effect symbol 53 starts to change, and the pattern 3 based on hold 2 moves to hold 1.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (f), the pattern 3 moves to the game display area 35 at the timing when the game based on the pattern 3 is started. Since the content of the first regular command corresponding to this pattern 3 is “A0 + No. 141”, the effect symbol 53 stops at a combination of two numbers, for example, 3 and shows a reach mode.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (g), the story-based reach is displayed on the effect display device 34. More specifically, the effect mode determination unit 210 changes the variation pattern No. The reach effect is determined by lottery from the story reach G, H, and J associated with 141, and the effect display control unit 220 displays the determined reach effect on the effect display device 34. The effect symbol 53 indicating the reach aspect is displayed at the upper left corner so as not to interfere with the reach effect.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (h), the effect symbol 53 stops at the combination of “3, 3, 3”, and the player is notified that it is a big hit. Variation pattern No. When 85 seconds (see FIG. 15), which is the fluctuation time associated with 141, elapses, the fourth reserved ball stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a in FIG. 29B. The game based on the random number ends.

  In the specific example 2 shown in FIG. 30, since the fourth hold is stored, the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the first prefetch command “BC + No. 92” (fixed value loss command), and effects control processing Based on the first look-ahead command, the unit 201 sets the hold display pattern to “silver pattern 1”, the hold display change pattern to “pattern 6”, and the hold display change timing to 1 of 4 holds. This is a case where the game is determined to be the first game (the game of hold 1) (step S32). Further, the content of the first regular command corresponding to the first prefetch command is “A0 + No. 12” (a regular reach lost command), and the lottery result of the special figure lottery processing unit 110 is lost. The jackpot will not be won until the loss.

  First, when the reserved ball random number is stored in the hold 4 during the change of the effect symbol 53, the silver pattern 1 is displayed in the first hold ball display area 34a (FIG. 30 (a)), and the game is started. When the silver pattern 1 moves to the hold 1 (change timing), the pattern changes to the pattern 6 (FIG. 30B). At this time, the player expects a notice effect based on the reserved ball random number of pattern 6 because pattern 1 has changed to pattern 6.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (c), at the timing when the game based on the reserved ball random number of pattern 6 is started, the hold display of pattern 6 moves to the game display area 35 (FIG. 30 (c)), and pattern 8 Is displayed on the entire effect display device 34 (FIG. 30D).

  Here, since the change pattern of the hold display is determined as the pattern 6 based on the prefetch command “BC + No. 92”, the notice effect pattern determination unit 250 determines the title of the comic book by lottery. When the production mode determination unit 210 determines the production content to be “confrontation reach D” based on the first regular command “A0 + No. 12”, the announcement production pattern lottery unit 251 selects “variation pattern No. 12”. And the title of the comic is determined from “D1”, “D2”, and “D3” corresponding to “Confrontation reach D” (see FIG. 22). For example, when “D1” having a selection probability of 60% is selected, a pattern 8 with the title “D1” displayed is displayed as shown in FIG. At this time, the player may win the game based on the reserved ball random number of pattern 6 that the content of the production is “confrontation reach D” because the title of the comic book is “D1” It is predicted that the nature is low.

  After the pattern 8 is displayed on the entire effect display device 34, the pattern 7 is displayed in the game display area 35. (FIG. 30 (e)). When the two numbers stop at a combination of 5, for example, and indicate a reach mode (FIG. 30 (f)), display of a confrontation reach D (BATTLE reach) is started (FIG. 30 (g)). For example, a confrontation effect in which the hero character confronts an enemy character is displayed, and when the hero character is defeated and display of the confrontation effect ends, the effect symbol 53 stops at a combination of 5, 3, and 5, and a special figure lottery processing unit The player is notified that the lottery result of 110 is lost ((h) in FIG. 30). Variation pattern No. When 60 seconds (see FIG. 14 (1)), which is the fluctuation time associated with 12, has elapsed, the fourth stored in the first special figure reserved ball random number storage unit 115a in FIG. 30 (a). The game based on the reserved ball random number of is finished.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the reliability of the jackpot can be suggested to the player by the color of the pattern 1 displayed at the winning timing and the change pattern of the hold display displayed at the changing timing. If the change pattern is determined to be pattern 6, since the title of the comic book displayed on the effect display device 34 after the game start timing can be known, the contents of the effect to be displayed will be held. It is possible to attract the player's interest in the display change mode.

  Here, although not shown, in the third specific example, when the fourth reserved ball random number is stored, the first special figure fluctuation pattern lottery unit 130a sets the special figure fluctuation pattern random number “2850” to the first. The change mode of the hold display and the effect mode performed in the game when stored in the special figure fluctuation pattern random number storage unit 133a will be described. That is, the specific example 3 is different from the specific example 1 and the specific example 2, and shows a case where the content of the prefetch command is different from the content of the regular command.

  In the specific example 3, when the fourth hold is stored, the sub-control processing unit 200 receives the first prefetch command “BC + No. 81” (indefinite value command), and the effect control processing unit 201 1 Based on the prefetch command, the hold display pattern is “silver pattern 1”, the hold display change pattern is “pattern 6”, and the hold display change timing is the first game (hold 1) Game) is determined (step S32). Further, the content of the regular command corresponding to the prefetch command is “A0 + No. 2” (a regular reach lost command), and the lottery result of the special drawing lottery processing unit 110 is lost. The jackpot will not be won until the loss. The reach content corresponding to the first prefetch command “BC + No. 81” is “no reach”, and the reach content corresponding to the first regular command “A0 + No. 2” is “normal reach”.

  First, when a reserved ball random number is stored in the hold 4 while the effect symbol 53 is changing, the silver pattern 1 is displayed in the first hold ball display area 34a, and moves to the right every time the game is started. Then, the pattern 6 is displayed at the timing (change timing) when the silver pattern 1 has moved to the hold 1.

  At the game start timing when a game based on the pattern 6 is started, the hold display of the pattern 6 moves to the game display area 35. Here, the notice effect pattern determination unit 250 determines the title of the comic book by lottery. When the production mode determination unit 210 determines the production content to be “normal reach A” based on the first regular command “A0 + No. 2”, the announcement production pattern lottery unit 251 selects “variation pattern No. 2” and A comic title is determined from “A1”, “A2”, and “A3” corresponding to “normal reach A” (see FIG. 22). For example, when “A2” having a selection probability of 30% is selected, the pattern 8 having the title “A2” is displayed on the effect display device 34. At this time, the player can know in advance that the normal reach A will be performed because the title of the comic book is “A2”.

  When a random number for a special figure variation pattern is acquired such that the reach content corresponding to the prefetch command and the reach content corresponding to the regular command are different as in the specific example 3, that is, the sub-control processing unit 200 performs an indefinite value command. Is received, the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment determines the change pattern of the hold display as the pattern 2 or the pattern 6 (FIG. 21A). A notice effect is performed after receiving the command, and the contents of the effect determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 are displayed on the effect display device 34. For this reason, the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment example uses the contents of the pre-reading effects and the contents of the effects determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 even if all the pre-read commands are subject to the pre-reading effects regardless of the type of the pre-reading commands. It is possible to perform a pre-reading effect so as not to cause a contradiction.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the third specific example. For example, the content associated with the prefetch command is “with reach”, and the variation pattern No. No. 1 and this variation pattern No. Even if the content associated with “No reach” is indicated, the notice effect pattern lottery unit 251 refers to the table 252a (FIG. 22) and determines the title of the comic book as “no title”. Therefore, the pre-reading effect and the notice effect that do not contradict the contents of the effect determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 can be performed.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the hold display change pattern lottery unit 233 determines the change pattern as the pattern 6 based on the type of the prefetch command, it is an attache case at the winning timing. (Pattern 1) is displayed, and the comic book appears from the attache case at the change timing (Pattern 6). Then, after the game start timing, a comic book (pattern 8 or pattern 9) in which a title corresponding to the content of the effect determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 is displayed on the effect display device 34. Thus, the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, when the change pattern of the hold display is determined as the pattern 6, the change pattern of the hold display and the content of the effect determined by the effect mode determination unit 210. Since it is configured such that the notice effect is taken into consideration, the change pattern of the hold display and the contents of the effect determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 may be related to each other via the notice effect. it can.

  In addition, as a modification of the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment example, the hold display change pattern lottery unit 233 determines the change pattern as the pattern 6 based on the type of the prefetch command, without being limited to the above configuration. The hold display pattern determination unit 230 may be configured to determine the change timing as the game start timing. That is, when the change pattern of the hold display is determined as the pattern 6, the hold display control unit 240 displays the attach case displayed at the winning timing from the winning timing (first time) to the game start timing (second time). (Pattern 1) is displayed in the holding ball display areas 34a and 34b so as not to be changed. Then, the effect display control unit 220 displays the comic book so that the comic book appears from the attach case at the timing (game start timing) when the attach case moves to the game display area 35 (pattern 6). The comic book (pattern 8 or pattern 9) in which the title according to the content of the effect determined by the unit 210 is described may be displayed largely on the effect display device 34.
