Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine that controls an advantageous state advantageous to a player when a specific display result is derived.

  Pachinko machines have a lottery lottery when a game ball launched in the game area wins the starting prize opening, and the prize winning opening is intermittently released for a certain period by winning the lottery result. It is controlled to the jackpot gaming state that is played (opening per round is one round), which is an advantageous state for the player. The fact that the winner of the jackpot lottery is won, the symbols are variably displayed on a variable display device such as a liquid crystal display called a special symbol game, and the predetermined symbols (generally the same type of symbols) are derived there. To be notified.

  In the pachinko machine, if the winning entry at the start winning opening is stored, a new special drawing game is started immediately after the completion of one special drawing game. It becomes an aspect in which the variation of symbols in the figure game is continuously performed. However, in a special game based on a winning at the start winning opening once, after temporarily stopping the fluctuation of all the symbols, the pseudo-changing display is performed once or a plurality of times to display all the symbols again and again. There is a pattern that displays symbols in a variable pattern.

  In addition, in the variation display of the symbols until the result of the special figure game is shown, various effects are performed in order to make the player expect the jackpot lottery win and improve the fun of the game, but with a specific pattern When the variable display is being executed, there is a player who can change the contents of the effect by operating a predetermined operation button in a predetermined operation period. As such, when the operation button is operated during the variation display of the symbol, the symbol is stopped and displayed, but the symbol that has been stopped and displayed is variably displayed again when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

JP 2007-20608 (paragraphs 0047, 0081 to 0083, etc.)

  By the way, the control of the game itself including the change of the game state in the pachinko gaming machine is executed by the main game control means, but the control of the effect such as the display of the variation of the symbol is based on the command from the main. Generally, it is executed by an effect control means as a sub. Here, even if the sub controls the execution of effects such as symbol variation display, since the game itself is controlled mainly, the timing indicating the result of symbol variation display is the main progress of the game. Must be matched to the timing to control. On the other hand, in order to execute an effect that does not make the player feel uncomfortable, sufficient time must be secured according to the content of the effect.

  In order to display the symbol once by the operation of the operation button as in the gaming machine of Patent Document 1, and to change the symbol again, the final operation is started from the period in which the operation of the operation button by the player is valid during the symbol variation display. It is necessary to secure time for performing the performance without feeling uncomfortable before showing the result of the typical variation display. Then, when the player operates the operation button in a state where sufficient time is secured in this way, the effect of rendering can be improved by executing the symbol stop display and the variation display again.

  However, in the pachinko gaming machine including the gaming machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, operating the operation button during the symbol change display is performed at the player's will. In other words, the player may not operate the operation button even when the variable display is performed in a pattern that changes depending on whether or not the operation button is operated. It is not possible to change the time until derivation. Since the gaming machine of Patent Document 1 does not consider the case where the player does not operate the operation button in this way, when the player has not operated the operation button, the production is delayed. As a result, the player may feel uncomfortable.

  The present invention provides a gaming machine that executes an effect in which the content of an effect including a change display of identification information changes depending on whether or not an operation unit is operated. The purpose is to prevent a sense of incongruity.

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:
A gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 1) that displays the identification information in a variable manner and controls it to an advantageous state advantageous to the player when a specific display result is derived,
A variation mode selection means (CPU 56: FIG. 4) for selecting a variation display mode of the identification information;
Production control means (CPU for display control of display control board 80) that controls the execution of production including the production of presentation of variation that displays the identification information in accordance with the variation display mode selected by the variation mode selection unit and derives the display result. )When,
Operating means (chance button 16) operated by the player,
When the re-variation mode is selected as the variation display mode, the effect control unit temporarily stops all the identification information after the temporary display of the identification information from the start of the variation display until the display result is derived. Re-variable display executing means (a CPU for display control of the display control board 80) for executing re-variable display for variably displaying a predetermined number of times;
The re-variation mode includes a first re-variation mode in which the number of re-variation display is small and a second re-variation mode in which the number of re-variation display is large, and the first reach display effect is executed in the re-variation display. Including a first reach re-variation mode and a second reach re-variation mode for executing a second reach display effect,
The re-variation aspect that is the first re-variation aspect and the first reach re-variation aspect includes a special re-variation aspect,
The variation mode selection means includes:
Selecting the re-variation mode so that the degree of expectation is higher when selecting the second re-variation mode than when selecting the first re-variation mode;
When selecting a reach re-variation mode having the same number of re-variation displays, the degree of expectation is higher when the second reach re-variation mode is selected than when the first reach re-variation mode is selected. Thus, the reach re-variation mode is selected (CPU 56: FIG. 4 (the ratio of selecting the super B in each of the reach losing quasi-runs once, twice, and three times is the probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot or pseudo Less than the rate of selecting Super B in each of the series once / twice / 3 times)),
The re-variation display executing means includes
When the operation means is operated in the operation effective period after the first reach display effect is started when the special re-variation mode is selected, all the identification information is variably displayed again after being temporarily stopped. A special re-variation display executing means (CPU for display control of the display control board 80: FIG. 13 (a)) for executing special re-variation display and executing the second reach display effect in the special re-variation display;
When the operation means is not operated during the operation effective period when the special re-variation mode is selected, the special re-variation display is executed after the operation effective period has elapsed, and the special re-variation display is performed. In non-operation special re-variation display execution means (CPU for display control of display control board 80: FIG. 13 (b)) which starts the second reach display effect at the same start timing as when the operation means is operated in FIG. It is characterized by including.
A gaming machine according to claim 2 of the present invention is the gaming machine according to claim 1,
Re-variation notice effect (pseudo-continuous notice) for notifying that the change display mode selected by the change-mode selecting means is a re-variable form (no pseudo-continuous notice, executing the pre-pseudo notice, post-pseudo notice Re-advance notice effect selection means for selecting whether or not to execute both the first pseudo notice and the second pseudo notice)
Based on the effect mode selected by the re-change notice effect selecting means, re-change notice effect executing means for executing the re-change notice effect (display control CPU for performing a process of executing the pseudo-continuous notice and the notice effect) is provided.
It is characterized by that.

  In the above gaming machine, it is assumed that notification is made by a display result derived whether or not a lottery for controlling to an advantageous state advantageous to the player is won, but depending on the result of the lottery, the display result is A variation display mode of the identification information until it is derived is selected. In the variation display mode selected here, all the identification information is again displayed after temporarily stopping the identification information that becomes the non-specific display result from the start of the variation display of the identification information until the display result is derived. A re-variation mode is included in which re-variable display for fluctuating display is executed once or multiple times.

  Here, the re-variation mode includes the first re-variation mode and the second re-variation mode, but the degree of expectation is higher when the variation display is performed in the second re-variation mode. . In addition, the reach re-variation mode includes the first reach re-variation mode and the second reach re-variation mode, but the expectation is higher when the second reach re-variation mode is included. Become. However, in the reach re-variation mode, if the reach display mode appears when the number of re-variation displays is small, the player's sense of expectation is diminished.

On the other hand, the special re-variation mode is included in the re-variation mode in which the first reach display effect is executed when the number of re-variable displays is small. In this special re-variation mode , when the player operates the operation means during the operation effective period after the first reach display effect is started, a special re-variable display is performed in which all identification information is variably displayed again after being temporarily stopped. In the special re-variable display, the second reach display effect is executed. In this case, the number of times of re-variable display is increased by the special re-variable display, and the second reach display effect is executed, so that the player's expectation can be enhanced and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Of course, after the reach display mode appears and the first reach display effect is started, the identification information is temporarily stopped and then all symbols are displayed again and again, the reach display mode is further displayed, and the second reach display is performed. When an effect is executed, a long time of a certain degree or more must be ensured from the start of the first reach display effect until the final display result is derived. On the other hand, just because a long time has been secured from the start of the first reach display effect until the final display result is derived, the operation of the operation means is arbitrary by the player, and this is the operation It may not be operated during the effective period.

In this way, the variation display of the identification information is executed in the special re-variation mode, and when the operation means is not operated during the operation effective period, the special re-variation display is performed after the operation effective period , The second reach display effect is started at the same start timing as when the operation means is operated . Due to the execution of this special re-variable display, a long time of a certain level or more is secured from the start of the first reach display effect until the final display result is derived. It is possible to prevent the display effect from being delayed and to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable.

  Further, even if the player's sense of expectation is diminished by the start of the first reach effect display after the appearance of the reach display mode, the special re-variation display is executed, so that the operation means is operated during the operation effective period. Is operated to increase the player's expectation that the player has won the lottery in the same way as when the special reach display is performed and the second reach display effect is executed. Interest can be improved.

In the above gaming machine,
In the special re-variation mode, the time from when the variation display of the identification information is started until the display result of the variation display is derived is irrespective of whether the operation means is operated during the operation effective period. It can be the same.

In this case,
The operation special re-variation display execution means changes an execution time in a specific period after the operation means is operated in the operation effective period and before the reach display mode appears in the special re-variation display. Can be performed (a display control CPU of the display control board 80: timings t6 to t7 in FIG. 11A).

  In this case, no matter what timing of the operation effective period with a certain width is operated, the remaining special re-variable display may be executed after adjusting the time by the time adjustment effect. The time management for the variation display of the identification information becomes easy.

Or
The special re-variation display executing means during operation is a variable display of identification information in the special re-variation display according to the timing when the operating means is operated when the operating means is operated during the operation effective period. It is also possible to change the time and / or the number of executions of the special re-variable display (CPU for display control of the display control board 80: FIGS. 12A and 12B).

  In this case, the timing at which the operating means is operated within the operation effective period with a certain width is not necessarily constant, but the time for displaying the variation of the identification information in the special revariable display according to the operation timing, and / or Alternatively, the number of executions of the special re-variation display can be changed, so that time management for the variation display of the identification information is facilitated.

In the above gaming machine,
Special re-variation display notifying means (for display control of the display control board 80) for notifying that the special re-variation display is executed by the operating special re-variation display executing means using the notifying means (re-variation lamp 17). CPU).

  In this case, although the fact that the special re-variation display is executed is notified, the notification is executed using the notification means, so that the player will notice this until the special re-variation display is actually executed. It is possible to prevent the player from playing the special re-variation display.

The above gaming machine is
When the lottery is won, the special game state determination means (CPU 56 (FIG. 4 (FIG. 4) for determining whether or not to control the game state to a special game state (probability variation state) advantageous to the player different from the advantageous state). b), (c): jackpot type lottery),
And a special gaming state control means (CPU 56) for controlling the gaming state to the special gaming state after the advantageous state is ended based on the determination of the special gaming state determination means,
The specific display result is a special specific display result (a jackpot symbol by “1” or “7”) indicating that it is determined that the special gaming state is controlled in addition to winning the lottery. And a non-special specific display result (a jackpot symbol other than “1” and “7”) indicating that the lottery is won but not determined to be controlled to the special gaming state. It may be included. In this case,
The non-operating special re-variable display execution means restricts execution of special re-variable display in which a reach display mode that constitutes a part of the non-special specific display result appears when controlled to the special gaming state. Non-specific specific effect limiting means (display control CPU of display control board 80 (special change in a special case of reach losing pseudo-run 3 times does not cause reach display modes other than “1” or “7” after special re-variable display) The ratio of selecting a special in the quasi-run 3 times / 4 times per promotion jackpot or short-time college is lower than the ratio of selecting a special in the quasi-run 3 times / 4 times per probability variation big)).

  Since the special display result and the non-special display result are both the specific display result, if it is derived as the display result of the variation display of the identification information, it is controlled to a specific game state advantageous to the player. It will be. When it is not controlled to the special gaming state, if the special specific display result is derived, it is controlled to the specific gaming state, and further controlled to the special gaming state, but the non-special specific display result is derived. However, the game is not controlled to the special game state, and the player is not perceived as losing money because the player is given the benefit of the specific game state.

  On the other hand, when the special game state is controlled, if the special specific display result is derived, it remains unchanged that the special game state is not controlled. Can be given, but if a non-special display result is derived, the special gaming state benefits may be given to the player, but the special gaming state may be terminated, so the player has lost Sometimes it feels like. Therefore, even when a reach display mode that is one step before the specific display result appears, that it constitutes a part of the non-special specific display result reduces the player's expectation. Cause.

  Here, in the special re-variation display executed when the operation means is not operated in the operation valid period when the special re-variation aspect is selected, the reach display aspect constituting a part of the non-special specific display result is Execution of special re-variable display that appears is limited. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player's expectation from diminishing until the special re-variation display is executed, and the player's expectation is continued until the display result of the variation display of the identification information is derived, The interest of the game can be improved.

  The non-operation special revariation display execution means restricts the execution of special revariation display in which the reach display mode that constitutes a part of the non-special display result appears. The execution of the special re-variation display in which the reach display mode that constitutes the screen appears may be completely prohibited. Alternatively, special re-variable display in which a reach display mode that constitutes a part of the non-special display result appears may be executed, but the ratio may be changed in a variable display mode in which another reach display mode appears. It is good also as what is made lower than the ratio which makes the reach display mode which comprises some non-special display results appear.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 applied to this embodiment as seen from the front. The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes an outer frame (not shown) formed in a vertically long rectangular shape, and a game frame attached to the inside of the outer frame so as to be openable and closable. Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape that is provided in the game frame so as to be opened and closed. The game frame includes a front frame (not shown) that can be opened and closed with respect to the outer frame, a mechanism plate (not shown) to which mechanism parts and the like are attached, and various parts (games to be described later) attached to them. And the board 6).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape. On the lower surface of the glass door frame 2 is a hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3. A chance button 16 is provided on the front surface of the hit ball supply tray 3. The chance button 16 is produced depending on whether or not the player operates a predetermined type of effect on the effect means such as the variable display device 9 and the operation satisfies a predetermined operation condition. It is a button that can change the result.

  Below the hitting ball supply tray 3, there is an extra ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 3, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for firing the hitting ball in the game area 7 by rotating. Is provided. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  Near the center of the game area 7, a variable display device 9 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided. In a circular frame surrounding the periphery of the variable display device 9, decoration lamps 25 a to 25 c serving as production means and an accessory 26 are provided. Below the variable display device 9 in the game area 7, two start winning ports 14a and 14b are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. A variable winning device 15 that facilitates winning of a game ball by being in an open state is provided at the start winning opening 14a on the lower side.

  A special variable winning device 20 for opening the big winning port 21 is provided below the start winning ports 14a and 14b. The position at which the special variable winning device 20 is provided is that if the player is proceeding with the game while looking at the variable display device 9, the player is almost sure whether or not the big winning opening 21 is open. The position is unknown. On both sides of the special variable prize-winning device 20, special symbol indicators 10a and 10b constituted by 7-segment LEDs are provided. The special symbol indicators 10a and 10b perform variable display of special symbols displayed by 7-segment LEDs.

  The special symbol display 10a performs variable display of the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball at the start winning port 14a, and the special symbol display 10b displays the special symbol based on the winning of the game ball at the starting winning port 14b. Variable display is performed. Both the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b do not perform the variable symbol special symbol display at the same time. After the special symbol variable symbol display is completed at the special symbol indicator 10a or 10b, both the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b both. When the condition for starting variable display is established, special symbol variable display is preferentially performed on the special symbol display 10a.

  Among the display results displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the specific display result (bonus symbol) includes a first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and a second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol). The third specific display result (suddenly probable jackpot symbol) and the fourth specific display result (temporal jackpot symbol) are included. Display results other than the first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result are lost patterns.

  There are 2 ^ 7-1 = 127 combinations of the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b depending on the combination of lighting / non-lighting of the seven segments (^ represents a power and all of the seven segments are not lighted) This is excluded as a display result of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, so that 1 is subtracted). The first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result may include symbols that are relatively easy to understand for the player, such as numbers “0” to “9”. However, the combination of lighting / non-lighting of seven segments that cannot be recognized as meaningful characters is also adopted, and it is very difficult to specify the type of jackpot from the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become a thing.

  After the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to a probability variation state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the normal gaming state (or the short time state in which the probability variation state is not established).

  After the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the second big hit gaming state described later. After the end of the second jackpot gaming state, until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs, the gaming state is controlled to a short time state (a state in which the time for changing the display of special symbols and normal symbols is shortened). In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After displaying the fourth specific display result (short-time big hit symbol) on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to a first big hit gaming state to be described later. After the end of the first jackpot gaming state, the gaming state is controlled in a short-time state until the variable symbol display is performed 100 times on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, but the jackpot probability until the next jackpot occurrence is usually set It is controlled to the normal gaming state (becomes lower than the jackpot probability of the probability variation state). The occurrence of any type of jackpot in the normal gaming state is referred to as first hit.

  The variable display device 9 performs variable display of decorative symbols (for example, 10 types “0” to “9”) in the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. The variable display device 9 is a variable display device for displaying the contents of the variable display performed by the special symbol display devices 10a and 10b to the player while enhancing the effect by the variable display of the decorative symbols. As long as the special symbol variable display is continued on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the definite display result for the big win lottery and the big hit type lottery is obtained even if the variable display of the decorative symbols is temporarily stopped (temporarily stopped). It has never been shown.

  Further, in the variable display device 9, effects (various effects such as step-up effects described later) by displaying characters are performed in accordance with the variably displayed decorative symbols. Further, the variable display device 9 is used not only for performing variable display of decorative symbols in accordance with variable display of special symbols, but also for performing big hit round effects.

  It should be noted that the control from the first jackpot state to the probability variation state (+ short time) is indicated by both the display of the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol). There is no change in the control of the gaming state. However, when the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time are aligned with “1” or “7”. For example, it is notified that the state is controlled to the probability variation state.

  On the other hand, when the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed, the fourth specific display result (temporal bonus jackpot symbol) is displayed as the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time. Similarly to the time, it is not notified that the probability variation state is controlled by arranging with symbols other than “1” or “7”. The fact that it is controlled to the probability variation state is notified by a jackpot round effect executed in the first jackpot gaming state controlled after the second specific display result is displayed.

  When the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 are displayed in the same three decorative symbols as when the special symbols are displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become the aspect which is not prepared. Note that the second jackpot gaming state controlled by the sudden probability jackpot, as will be described later, is that the opening of the big prize opening 21 is completed in a very short period, and the jackpot round effect is not executed until the next fluctuation display starts. Since the symbols are kept displayed, the player is given an impression that the game is controlled from the normal gaming state (including the short-time state) to the probability fluctuation state without noticing that the player has suddenly made a profound change. It is possible to do.

  Note that an aspect in which three decorative symbols that are not any of the first to fourth specific display results are not arranged is a lost symbol. A specific combination of lost symbols (for example, a combination of “1-3-5” and “1-5-3”) is displayed only when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped with a pseudo-variable variation pattern described later. (Although it may be a lost pattern other than the chance that is displayed when the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped in the fluctuating pattern of pseudo-ream), as a display result The combination of lost symbols is of a form other than the chance eye.

  In addition, when the special symbol display 10a or 10b performs variable display of the special symbol and the variable display device 9 performs variable display of the decorative symbol, the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are turned on or the accessory 26 is displayed. There is a case where an effect by driving is performed. The effects by the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26 are all the decorations again after the temporary stop before the three decorative symbols are temporarily stopped, particularly when the decorative symbols are variably displayed in a pseudo-continuous variation pattern described later. Used to notify that the symbol will change again. Note that the advance notice is a notification that the contents shown may possibly occur, and is distinguished from a notice that is a notice definitely showing that the contents shown thereby occur.

  Below the variable display device 9, a game ball enters the start winning opening 14a, 14b, and the start condition is established, but the start condition of the special symbol displays 10a, 10b (for example, end of variable display of the previous special symbol, Special symbol hold memory as a hold memory number display means for respectively displaying a hold memory number stored in RAM 55 (see FIG. 3) of main board 31 to be described later as the number of times the start condition is not established (end of jackpot game state). Indicators 11a and 11b are provided.

  The special symbol hold memory display 11a is composed of a total of 16 LEDs of 4 × 4 dots, and is a valid start prize to the start prize opening 14a (in this embodiment, a start prize when the number of reserved memories is less than 4). The number of reserved storages that increase each time and decreases every time variable display of the special symbol is started on the special symbol display device 10a is indicated by the lighting state of 16 LEDs. Similarly, the special symbol storage memory display 11b is composed of a total of 16 LEDs of 4 × 4 dots, and increases every time there is an effective start winning at the start winning opening 14b, and is specially displayed on the special symbol display 10b. The number of reserved storages that decrease each time the variable display of symbols is started is indicated by the lighting state of 16 LEDs. The relationship between the number of reserved memories and the lighting mode will be described later.

  In the RAM 55 (see FIG. 3), the jackpot extracted by the CPU 56 (see FIG. 3) of the main board 31 when the special symbol start condition in the special symbol display device 10a is established (the hit ball wins the start winning opening 14a). Four pending storage buffers are provided for storing the extraction order of various random numbers such as random numbers for determination in an identifiable manner. The special symbol on-hold storage display 11a displays the number of on-hold storage buffers in which various random numbers are stored (the number of on-hold storage) among the on-hold storage buffers so as to be specified. In the reserved storage buffer, numerical data for which the start condition (for example, end of variable display of the last special symbol, end of jackpot gaming state) is not yet established among the extracted random numbers as a predetermined upper limit number Up to 4 are stored. A similar reserved memory buffer is provided for the special symbol reserved memory display 11b.

  The winning balls that have entered the starting winning ports 14a and 14b are respectively guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by starting port switches 62a and 62b (see FIG. 3). The variable winning device 15 is opened by a solenoid 71 (see FIG. 3). The variable winning device 15 is opened by the solenoid 71 in accordance with the result of variable display of a normal symbol, which will be described later. This makes it easier for the game ball to win the start winning opening 14a (easier to start winning), and for the player. This is an advantageous state.

  The special variable prize-winning device 20 is movable by a solenoid 72 (see FIG. 3) and is in an acceptable state in which a game ball can be won in the big prize opening 21 and in an unacceptable state in which a game ball cannot be won in the big prize opening 21. The large winning opening 21 is opened in the acceptable state. Further, the winning ball guided from the special variable winning device 20 to the back of the game board 6 is detected by the count switch 63 (see FIG. 3). A solenoid 73 (see FIG. 3) for switching the route in the special winning opening 21 is also provided on the back of the game board 6.

  In the first jackpot gaming state, the special variable prize winning device 20 is in a state in which the big prize opening 21 is opened until a predetermined time elapses from the opening of the big prize opening 21 or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins. And Until a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds in the first jackpot gaming state, 1 second in the second jackpot gaming state) has elapsed after the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened or closed, or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hit balls One round is required until winning the big prize opening 21. The jackpot gaming state is a gaming state in which the opening of the big winning opening 21 is repeatedly provided for a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times).

  The special variable prize-winning device 20 also opens the prize winning opening 21 only twice in a very short time (for example, about 0.2 to 0.5 seconds) in the second jackpot gaming state. The gaming state before being controlled to the probability variation state when a sudden probability change big hit is this second big hit gaming state. In the second jackpot gaming state, the opening of the grand prize winning opening 21 is performed only for a very short period. Therefore, when one hit ball is finished without winning the big winning prize opening 21, it is controlled to the probability variation state. In many cases, the player is not aware of the fact that the game is controlled to the second big hit gaming state.

  Further, on the right side of the game area 7, a normal symbol display 12 made up of a pair of left and right LEDs labeled “◯” and “×” is provided. The normal symbol display 12 can variably display a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When it is detected by the gate switch 61 (see FIG. 3) that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b, a random number for normal symbol determination is extracted and mounted on the main board 31 (see FIG. 3). In the normal symbol buffer of FIG. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol that can be stored in the normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 (see FIG. 3) is four. If the normal symbol display 12 can start variable display in which the normal symbol display state changes ("○" and "x" are alternately lit), that is, the end of the previous variable display in the normal symbol display 12). The normal symbol variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is started.

  Above the normal symbol display 12, a normal symbol holding storage indicator having a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of LEDs for displaying the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol stored in the normal symbol buffer. 13 is provided. When the gate switch 61 detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b and a new random number for determining the normal symbol is stored, the normal symbol storage memory display 13 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. . Each time the normal symbol display 12 starts variable display of normal symbols (for example, “◯” and “x”), the number of LEDs that are lit is reduced by one.

  On the normal symbol display 12, the left and right lamps marked with ○ and X (the symbols can be visually recognized when lit) are alternately lit, whereby the normal symbol is variably displayed. For example, if the time-short state is 2.9 seconds, otherwise it is 29.2 seconds). Then, if the left lamp marked with ○ is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a win. When the display result of the variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is correct, the variable winning device 15 is only for a predetermined time (for example, 2.9 seconds in the time-short state and 1.4 seconds in the time-short state). Opened.

  Whether or not to win the result of variable display of the normal symbol is determined by the value of the random number for determination per normal symbol extracted when the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b and the game ball is detected by the gate switch 61. Is determined according to whether or not the value matches a predetermined judgment value per ordinary symbol. The hit probability is very high (for example, 35/36) in the short-time state, but is low (for example, 1/36) if it is not in the short-time state. In the short-time state, since the percentage of the variable winning device 15 being in the open state is very high in this way, the number of game balls held by the player is not reduced (or even if it is reduced, the reduction amount is very small). The game is ready to proceed.

  On the other hand, on the left side of the game area 7, there is provided a re-variation lamp 17 composed of four LEDs having a symmetric configuration with the normal symbol storage memory display 13. When the decorative symbol is variably displayed in a pseudo-continuous variation pattern, which will be described later, the re-variable lamp 17 lights up in a predetermined manner while the three decorative symbols are temporarily stopped, so that the decorative symbol changes again. The player is informed that it is displayed. In a special variation pattern of four pseudo-sequences to be described later, before the decorative symbol is re-variable in the temporary stop state before the fourth re-variation is started by operating the chance button 16, the re-variation lamp 17 is changed. Is different from the lighting pattern in the temporary stop state in other cases.

  Winning holes 29a to 29d are provided on the left and lower sides of the gate 28a and on the lower and right sides of the gate 28b, respectively. When it is detected by the winning port switch 64a (see FIG. 3) that a game ball has won the winning ports 29a to 29d, a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. The payout of the game ball is also performed by winning the game ball to the start winning ports 14a and 14b and the big winning port 21, but is not performed even if the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b.

  In the lower part of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there is provided an out port 26 through which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. A top frame lamp 40, a frame lamp left 41, and a frame lamp right 42 provided on the front frame are provided at the outer peripheral upper portion, the outer peripheral left portion, and the outer peripheral right portion of the game area 7.

  Although not shown in FIG. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a hitting ball launching device 45 (see FIG. 3) that drives a driving motor by operating a hitting operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a gaming ball into the game area 7. It has been. The game balls launched from the hit ball launching device 45 enter the game area 7 through a hit ball rail mounted in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7 on the game board 6, and then descend the game area 7. . The game balls that have not won any of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, the big winning port 21, and the winning ports 29a to 29d are discharged from the out port 26.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the lighting mode of the 16 LEDs constituting the special symbol hold storage indicators 11a and 11b and the number of hold storages. As shown in the figure, the lighting patterns of the special symbol storage memory indicators 11a and 11b include all patterns for lighting 6 to 10 of 16 LEDs of 4 × 4, and each pattern is 0. It is assigned to one indicating that there is any one of 1, 2, 3, and 4 pending storage. In addition, the lighting pattern of the special symbol hold memory indicators 11a and 11b is changed every predetermined time (for example, every random time of 1 second or less) even when there is a change in the number of hold memories or even when there is no change in the number of hold memories. ) To change.

  That is, the special symbol hold memory indicators 11a and 11b have LED lighting patterns as shown in FIG. 2 constantly occurring, and it is also difficult to distinguish which lighting pattern corresponds to which number of reserved memories. Therefore, even if the number of reserved memory changes due to the winning of a game ball at the start winning opening 14a, 14b or the start of a variable display of a new special symbol, only the lighting pattern of the special symbol reserved memory indicators 11a, 11b It is indistinguishable.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an outline of a circuit configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  The CPU 56 mounted on the main board 31 performs display control of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b and display control of the normal symbol display 12. Further, the light emission control of the special symbol hold storage indicators 11a and 11b and the normal symbol hold storage indicator 13 is performed.

  A game control microcomputer (peripheral circuits such as a CPU 56 and a ROM 54 and a RAM 55) provided on the main board 31 is provided on the card unit 50 and the game board 6 that enable ball lending by inserting a prepaid card or the like. A payout control signal is transmitted to a payout control board 36 that controls a ball payout device 44 that pays out a winning ball when a winning of a game ball is detected at a plurality of winning holes. Further, the game control microcomputer operates the hitting operation handle 5 to drive and control the hitting ball launching device 45 to transmit a launch control signal to the launch control board 37 that controls the launching of the game ball toward the game area 7. .

  Further, the game control microcomputer transmits an effect control command (effect control signal) to the display control board 80. A display control microcomputer (display control CPU (not shown), RAM (not shown), ROM (not shown), ROM (not shown), I / O port (shown)) provided on the display control board 80 by receiving the effect control command. No)) and the like) perform display control of the variable display device 9.

  The display control CPU operates according to a program stored in the ROM, and when receiving an effect control command from the main board 31, performs display control of the variable display device 9 according to the received effect control command. Specifically, display control of the variable display device 9 is performed by a VDP (not shown) having a display control function for performing image display and a high-speed drawing function. The display control CPU reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data frequently used among images displayed on the variable display device 9, specifically, a person, a monster, a character, a figure, a symbol, or the like.

  Then, the display control CPU outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP. The VDP operates based on data input from the display control CPU. In this embodiment, a VDP (not shown) that performs display control of the variable display device 9 is mounted on the display control board 80. The VDP has a two-dimensional address space independent of the display control CPU, and a VRAM (not shown) is mapped there. The VDP generates image data to be displayed on the variable display device 9 in accordance with the character image data, and develops it in the VRAM.

  Further, in this embodiment, the display control microcomputer provided on the display control board 80 controls the sound output of the speaker 27 by outputting the drive signal of the speaker 27 to the sound output board 70, and the lamp driver. By outputting a driving signal of the accessory, lamp / LED to the substrate 35, light emission control of the accessory, lamp / LED provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed. In other words, the display control microcomputer mounted on the display control board 80 receives the command information related to the display control of the variable display device 9, the lamp / LED lighting control, and the control of effects such as the generation of game sounds transmitted from the main board 31. Is a microcomputer for effect control that controls light emitting bodies such as lamps and LEDs provided in the variable display device 9, the speaker 27, and the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the effect control command (control signal).

  Hereinafter, the special symbol variation display on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment and the decorative symbol variation display on the variable display device 9 will be described. Whether or not the result of the change display of the special symbol is a jackpot, and if it is a jackpot, which type of jackpot is to be selected, and which of the special pattern change pattern is to be extracted at the start winning prize Based on various random numbers, it is determined when the start condition for displaying special symbols on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b is satisfied.

  First, the determination of jackpot will be described. FIG. 4A is a diagram showing a jackpot determination table stored in the ROM 54. Whether or not the result of the special symbol variation display is a jackpot is determined based on the jackpot determination table of FIG. 4A and a jackpot determination random number among random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning (random R: 0 to 65535). And is determined based on the value of. In normal time (non-probability fluctuation), if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1000 to 1059 or 13320 to 13477, it is determined to be a jackpot, otherwise it is determined to be lost. decide. On the other hand, at the time of probability variation, if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1020-1519 or 13320-15004, it is determined to be a jackpot, and if it is any other value, it is determined to be lost.

  Next, determination of the jackpot type will be described. FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C are diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 54. Here, FIG. 4B is a jackpot type determination table for determining the jackpot type when the special symbol display 10a performs variable display of the special symbol, and FIG. 4C is a special symbol display. It is a jackpot type determination table for determining the jackpot type when the special symbol is variably displayed on the device 10b.

  When the special symbol display unit 10a performs variable display of the special symbol, if it is determined that the result of the variable symbolic display based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination table is to be a jackpot, the start prize is further awarded. If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted from time to time is 5 or 7, it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, and if it is 0, 1, or 3, it is determined that the probability change promotion jackpot If it is 9, it is determined that it is suddenly a promising jackpot, and if it is 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined that it is a jackpot.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10b performs variable display of the special symbol, if it is determined that the result of the variation display of the special symbol is a jackpot based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination table, If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0 to 9) among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning is 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1 or 3, it is determined as a probable change promotion jackpot If it is 0 or 9, it is suddenly determined to be a promiscuous jackpot, and if 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined to be a short-term jackpot.

  By the way, in the probability variation state, a big hit is made with a probability of 1/30. However, until the new big win occurs, the special symbol variable display is controlled without limitation of the number of times of execution. In the short time state, the percentage of the variable winning device 15 in the open state is very high, and the start winning port 14a for causing the special symbol display 10a to be given priority over the special symbol display 10b to perform variable display. Reservation memory due to winning a prize is rarely interrupted.

  When the special symbol display 10b performs variable display of the special symbol, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is 2/5 (= 4/10) in the case of the jackpot, whereas the special symbol indicator 10b is special. When the special display is variably displayed on the symbol display 10a, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is ½ (= 5/10) that of the jackpot. In other words, once a probability variation jackpot or a probabilistic promotion jackpot occurs, after the first jackpot gaming state based on it ends, the player can acquire more game balls through the first jackpot gaming state. As a result, the ratio of the probability fluctuation state is high.

  Next, determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a special symbol variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 54. When the start condition is satisfied, the special symbol variation pattern is determined according to the result of the special symbol variation display (whether or not the jackpot is set, or the jackpot type when the jackpot is set). However, the determination of the variation pattern for the probable promotion jackpot and the hourly jackpot is the same. The type of variation pattern determined for the probability variation jackpot is the same, but the selection ratio is different from the probability variation promotion jackpot and the short-term jackpot.

  When determining a variation pattern, first, the type of variation pattern is determined based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning. In the case of a loss, first, the first type (no reach, with reach) is determined based on the value of the first variation pattern determination random number, and the second type (no reach, with reach) is determined based on the second variation pattern determination random number. No pseudo-ream, 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, 3 pseudo-reams) are determined. Here, it can be seen that there are pseudo-reams that are not reachable. Further, based on the value of the random number for determining the variation pattern, the variation pattern (normal variation 1 or normal variation 2 for the type without reach, normal two frames before, normal one frame before, normal one frame after the reach type) , After Super A2 frame, Super A1 frame, Super A1 frame, Super B2 frame, Super B1 frame, Super B1 frame, Special 2 frame, Special 1 frame, Special 1 frame) It will be a thing.

  On the other hand, in the case of a probability variation jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, the display result of a decorative pattern described later is always a jackpot display mode, and the reach display mode (for example, the left decorative pattern that stops first) The second decorative pattern is the same as the right decorative symbol that stops second, and the decorative symbol display area 9b is still displayed in a variable manner). Is ignored and the type (no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, 4 pseudo-runs) is determined based on the second random number for determining the variation pattern. The quasi-continuous 4 times is a type that can be selected only in the case of a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, and a short-term jackpot. Further, the variation pattern (per normal, per super A, per super B, and special per unit) is determined based on the value of the random number for variation pattern determination.

  When there is a loss and reach, and when the probability variation jackpot, probabilistic promotion jackpot, or short-term jackpot, the type of variation pattern is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, or pseudo-run Four times (only in the case of probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot) are determined, but the variation patterns distributed in each type are variation patterns in which the reach display mode appears. Assuming that the difference in the number of frames in case of loss and reach is not taken into consideration, the variation patterns distributed by these types are normal, super A, super B, and special.

  However, the normal is a variation pattern that is not distributed when a type of pseudo-quadruple four times is selected with a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. In addition, specially, when the type of 3 pseudo-reams was selected with losing reach, or the type of 3 pseudo-reams or 4 times of pseudo-reams was selected per jackpot of probability variation, probabilistic change jackpot or short-term college It is a fluctuation pattern that can only be distributed from time to time.

  In addition, for example, in the case of losing and having reach, the reach type that can be assigned to any type of no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, and two pseudo-reams is the same, but varies depending on the type. The pattern distribution ratio is different. In the case of 3 pseudo-reams, it may be assigned after 2 special frames, before 1 special frame, and after 1 special frame, but reach that can be assigned in any of the types of 1 pseudo-ream and 2 pseudo-ream (normal) 2 frames, 1 frame before normal, 1 frame after normal, 2 frames after Super A, 1 frame before Super A, 1 frame after Super A, 2 frames after Super B, 1 frame before Super B, 1 frame after Super B1) Is possible.

  Similarly, the type of reach that can be assigned to any type of probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, short-term jackpot, no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream or two pseudo-reams is the same, The distribution ratio of the variation pattern is different for each. When the number of pseudo-reams is the same, the fluctuation pattern is distributed so that the expectation of jackpot is higher in Super A than in Normal, and in Super B than Super A. .

  Further, in the case of a big hit, since the reach display mode does not appear in the variation display of the decorative pattern, which will be described later, and it does not become a pseudo-ream, both the first variation pattern determination random number and the second variation pattern determination random number Ignored and always determined as a type without pseudo-ream, and types of pseudo-ream 1 time, pseudo-ream 2 times, pseudo-ream 3 times and pseudo-ream 4 times are not selected. Further, the fluctuation pattern (sudden probability variation 1 and sudden probability variation 2) is determined based on the random number for variation pattern determination. The distribution pattern distribution ratio will be described in detail later.

  Next, a variation display mode of decorative symbols in each variation pattern, and an effect executed in accordance with this will be briefly described. First, in the fluctuation pattern of normal fluctuation, the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern are stopped without reaching the reach display mode, and then the central decorative pattern is also stopped in the display mode of losing and determined. . The difference between the normal fluctuation 1 and the normal fluctuation 2 is only the time until the fluctuation display ends. The same applies to the fluctuation pattern of sudden probability change.

  In the normal, super A, super B, and special variation patterns in which the reach display mode appears, the reach display effect (variation of decorative design) determined for each type of the variation pattern after the reach display mode appears. Display mode and / or performance performed in accordance with this). For example, in the normal variation pattern, the left decorative design and the right decorative design are stopped in the reach display mode, and then the normal reach display effect (in the case of normal, it is possible to simply display the decorative design in the middle. ), The decorative pattern in the middle stops and is confirmed.

  In addition, the pseudo-ream means that the decorative symbol is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 in accordance with the variation display of the special symbol, but for the variation display of one special symbol (that is, one start winning), Temporarily stop changing the display of decorative symbols in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c (although the decorative display of the decorative symbols has been stopped, the change display of the special symbols has continued, and some or all of the decorative symbols have changed. Display in a state where the display can be resumed and the result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is not determined), and then the re-variable display for performing the variable variation display again or once is executed once or a plurality of times. Refers to the variable display pattern.

  For example, one pseudo-ream is a pattern in which the re-variation display is performed only once for the special symbol variation display for one time (a total of two variation displays are performed before and after the re-variation display). . The pseudo-continuation 4 times is a pattern in which this re-variation display is performed 4 times (a total of 5 variation displays are performed) with respect to the variation display of the special symbol for one time, and the fifth variation display is started. It is a pattern that clearly shows that the probability change jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined at this stage.

  However, the special variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous pattern is not displayed again for a predetermined number of times unless the player operates the chance button 16 within a predetermined operation period. For example, in a special pattern of three pseudo-continuations, re-variable display is performed twice, which is one less than three times, regardless of whether or not the chance button 16 is operated. After the second re-variation display (that is, when the third variation display is performed from the start of the first variation display), the reach display mode appears and normal is executed as the reach display effect. It has become a thing. An operation period during which the player operates the chance button 16 is set for a predetermined period after the normal reach display effect is started.

  When the player operates the chance button 16 during this operation period, a special re-variable display is performed in which all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again after temporarily suspending the decorative symbols that have been variably displayed in a reach-losing manner. Will be. Then, after the special re-variation display (that is, when the third variation display is performed from the start of the first variation display), the reach display mode appears, and the super B is executed as the reach display effect. Has become. Thereafter, the decorative symbols are finally stopped in a display mode corresponding to the results of the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type lottery.

  On the other hand, if the player does not operate the chance button 16 during the operation period, the decorative pattern in the inside is displayed variably as it is even after the operation period has elapsed. And if the decorative symbol is finally stopped for a predetermined period before the final stop timing of the decorative symbol (corresponding end timing of the change display of the corresponding special symbol), the intermediate decorative symbol is also temporarily stopped, but only the middle decorative symbol is changed again after a certain period of time. And start a specific effect to perform a reach display effect (different from any of the normal, super A, and super B reach display effects), and then the decoration pattern is finally displayed in a display mode according to the results of the big win lottery and the big win type lottery It is supposed to be stopped.

  In addition, the reach display mode appears in a pseudo-variation pattern excluding special patterns (normal, super A, and super B patterns). Of these, only the change display from the last temporary stop to the final stop is shown. For example, in the normal (out of 2 frames, 1 frame before, 1 frame after, hit) pattern of 2 pseudo-continuations, the variable display from the start of the variable display to the first temporary stop, and the first temporary stop The reach display mode does not appear in the variable display from the first to the second temporary stop. The reach display mode appears in the variable display from the second temporary stop to the final stop, and normal reach is executed as the reach display effect. The special variation pattern of the quasi-continuous 3 or 4 times will be described in detail later using a timing chart.

  The special symbol (and decorative symbol) variation display time is determined according to the variation display type and the variation pattern type (normal variation 1, normal variation 2, normal, super A, super B, special). It becomes. The larger the number of pseudo-reams, the longer the display time of the variation. For example, the normal variation 1 of 3 pseudo-reams has approximately 3 times the variation time of the normal variation 1 without pseudo-reams. In addition, the fluctuation time in the reach fluctuation (the last fluctuation display in the case of pseudo-ream) is longer in Super A than in Normal, and Super B is longer than Super A.

  Next, the determination of the variation pattern type will be described in detail. When it is determined that the result of the special symbol variation display is lost, the probability of selecting “no reach” and “reach” is P1 and P2, respectively (P1 + P2 = 1, P1 >> P2). In the absence of reach, the probabilities of selecting the types of no pseudo-ream, 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, and 3 pseudo-reams are A0, A1, A2, and A3 (A0 + A1 + A2 + A3 = 1). Here, the probability A0 of selecting no pseudo-ream is overwhelmingly high, and the greater the number of pseudo-reams, the smaller the number of times of selection.

  In the presence of reach, the probabilities of selecting the types of no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, and three pseudo-reams are B0, B1, B2, and B3 (B0 + B1 + B2 + B3 = 1). Again, the probability of selecting B0 without pseudo-continuity is higher than the probabilities B1, B2, and B3 with selection of pseudo-continuous, but the overwhelming difference as with no reach There is no.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the variation display result of special symbols is a probability variation jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, and a short-term jackpot, there is no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, three pseudo-reams, The probabilities of selecting the four types of pseudo-continuous are C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4 (C0 + C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 = 1). Here, the probability C0 for selecting no pseudo-continuity is lower than the probabilities A0 and B0 for selecting no pseudo-continuity in the case of a loss, and is lower than the selection probabilities C1, C2, C3, and C4 with pseudo-continuity. May be.

  Here, when it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot, the reach display mode appears. On the other hand, the reach display mode does not appear when the probability big hit is determined, and the reach display mode appears only with the probability of P2 when the loss is determined. Accordingly, when the degree of expectation that the reach display mode appears in each variation pattern increases, the degree of expectation that becomes a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation promotion jackpot, and a time bonus jackpot also increases.

  Here, there is no difference in the type and type of the variation pattern between the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 10a and the variation display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 10b, and the results of the variation display are the same. In comparison, there is no difference in the selection probability of the variation pattern type. However, when the special symbol display 10a displays the variation of the special symbol, the probability of the probable change promotion jackpot is higher and the probability of the sudden probability change jackpot is lower than that of the special symbol display 10b. In consideration of this, the type of variation pattern and the selection of the type differ depending on which of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  For example, even when special symbols are variably displayed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the ratio of loss does not change, so there is no pseudo-continuation, one pseudo-continuation, two pseudo-continuations, and three pseudo-continuations. The ratio of selection of types (including those with no reach and those with reach) remains the same. On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10a is used for variable display of the special symbol, the probability of sudden probability change is lower than when the special symbol display 10b is used for variable display of the special symbol. The probability of being selected is relatively low.

  More specifically, when the jackpot probability is X (X is 1/300 or 1/30), there is no pseudo-run, 1 pseudo-run, 2 pseudo-runs, 3 pseudo-runs, 4 pseudo-runs The selection probability of (1−X) × P1 × A0 + (1−X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0 + 0.1 × X when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a. (1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1, (1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2, (1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3, X * 0.9 * C4. (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display 10b is used to display the variation of the special symbol, (1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0 + 0.2 × X, (1- X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1, (1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2, (1- X) * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3, X * 0.8 * C4 (this relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  Here, {(1-X) * P1 * A0 + (1-X) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.9 * C0 + 0.1 * X} / {(1-X) * P1 * A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.8 * C0 + 0.2 * X <{(1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1} / {(1-X) * P1 * A1 ++ (1-X) * P2 * B1X * 0.8 * C1 <{(1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2} / {(1- X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2 <{(1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3 / {( 1−X) × P1 × A3 + (1−X) × P2 × B3 + X × 0.8 × C3,} <{X × 0.9 × C4} / {X × 0.8 × C4} = 1 (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30. ). Therefore, it is understood that the number of times that the re-variation display is performed is more likely to be performed when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a than when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10b.

  In addition, the probability that four pseudo-reams will be selected in the case of loss (with reach, without reach) is A4 (= 0), B4 (= 0), and the probability that there will be no pseudo-ream in the case of a sudden hit. In the case of C0 (= 1), when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a, X × 0.9 × C0 / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0 + 0.1 × C0) <X × 0.9 × C1 / ((1-X) × P1 × A1 + (1-X) × P2 × B1 + X × 0.9 × C1) < X * 0.9 * C2 / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) <X * 0.9 * C3 / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3) <X * 0.9 * C4 / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0. 9 x C4 ) = 1 (this relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30).

  Even when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10b, X × 0.8 × C0 / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0 + 0.1 × C0) <X × 0.8 × C1 / ((1-X) × P1 × A1 + (1-X) × P2 × B1 + X × 0.8 × C1) <X × 0.8 × C2 / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) <X * 0.8 * C3 / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) XP2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3) <X * 0.8 * C4 / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is the same whether X is 1/300 or 1/30). Therefore, it can be seen that when the special symbol display is performed on any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the probability variation big hit, the probable change promotion big hit, or the short time big hit tends to increase as the number of re-variable displays increases.

  Further, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display 10a, ((1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.9 × C0) / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.9 * C0 + 0.1 * C0) <((1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1) / ((1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.9 * C1) <((1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.9 * C2) <((1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3) / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.9 * C3 ) <((1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.9 * C4) / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.9 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is such that X is 1 300 even 1/30, even the same).

  Even when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10b, ((1-X) × P2 × B0 + X × 0.8 × C0) / ((1-X) × P1 × A0 + (1-X ) * P2 * B0 + X * 0.8 * C0 + 0.2 * C0) <((1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1) / ((1-X) * P1 * A1 + (1-X) * P2 * B1 + X * 0.8 * C1) <((1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) / ((1-X) * P1 * A2 + (1-X) * P2 * B2 + X * 0.8 * C2) <((1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3) / ((1-X) * P1 * A3 + (1-X) * P2 * B3 + X * 0.8 * C3 ) <((1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) / ((1-X) * P1 * A4 + (1-X) * P2 * B4 + X * 0.8 * C4) = 1 (This relationship is such that X is 1/300 Even even 1/30 the same). Therefore, it can be seen that the reach display mode is more likely to appear as the number of re-variable displays increases.

  In addition, after 2 normal frames, 1 normal frame before, 1 normal frame after, Super A2 frame, before Super A1 frame, after Super A1 frame, after Super B2 frame, before Super B1 frame, and after Super B1 frame The pattern selection probability is E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, and E8, respectively, when there is a losing reach, there is no quasi-continuation, and one or two types are selected. It shall be. On the other hand, the selection probability of the variation pattern of normal, super A, and super B is either a probability variation jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, and the selected type is no pseudo-continuous, either once or twice Even so, it is assumed that they are G0, G1, and G2, respectively.

  Here, there is a relationship between these selection probabilities: (E0 + E1 + E2) / (E0 + E1 +... + E8)> G0 / (G0 + G1 + G2), (E6 + E7 + E8) / (E0 + E1 +... + E8)> G2 / (G0 + G1 + G2). Therefore, when the reach display mode appears, when the final result is a loss, the normal reach display effect is likely to be executed, and when the final result is a probability variation jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot The reach display effect of Super B is easy to be executed. In other words, when the Super B reach display effect is executed, the expectation of the probability fluctuation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot is higher than the expectation level when the normal reach display effect is executed. ing. Although the relationship between the selection probabilities is not particularly shown, when the reach display effect of Super B is executed, the expected degree of probability fluctuation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot is when the normal reach display effect is executed. This is higher than the expected level of the super B and lower than the expected level when the reach display effect of Super B is executed.

  In addition, when there is a loss of reach and the type of quasi-continuous 3 times is selected, 2 frames after normal, 1 frame before normal, 1 frame after normal, 2 frames after Super A, 1 frame before Super A, 1 frame after Super A, The selection probabilities of the variation patterns after B2 frame, before Super B1 frame, after Super B1 frame, after 2 special frames, before 1 special frame, and after 1 special frame are F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, respectively. , F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, and F11. On the other hand, it is assumed that the selection probabilities of normal, super A, super B, and special variation patterns when the type of probability variation jackpot is selected as three pseudo-reams are H0, H1, H2, and H3, respectively. Assume that the selection probabilities for normal, super A, super B, and special variation patterns are J0, J1, J2, and J3, respectively, when the probability variation promotion jackpot or time-short jackpot is selected as the type of three pseudo-continuations.

  Here, between these selection probabilities, (F0 + F1 + F2) / (F0 + F1 +... + F11)> H0 / (H0 + H1 + H2 + H3), (F6 + F7 + F8) / (F0 + F1 +. ... + F11)> J0 / (J0 + J1 + J2 + J3), (F6 + F7 + F8) / (F0 + F1 + ... + F11)> J2 / (J0 + J1 + J2 + J3). Therefore, when the super B reach display effect is executed, the expected degree of probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short time jackpot is higher than the expectation level when the normal reach display effect is executed.

  Further, there is a relationship of H3 / (H0 + H1 + H2 + H3) >> J3 / (J0 + J1 + J2 + J3). That is, the selection of a special variation pattern when the probability variation is not big hit is very limited. In addition, when the type of the quasi-continuous three times is selected with the reach of losing and the special variation pattern is selected, the reach display mode with the symbols other than “1” or “7” is not allowed to appear. . Identification when a reach display mode with a symbol other than “1” or “7” appears after the special re-variable display when the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period, or when the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period It is very limited that the performance is performed in the reach display mode with symbols other than “1” or “7”.

  In addition, when the probability variation jackpot is selected as the type of pseudo-quadruple four times, the selection probabilities of Super A, Super B, and special variation patterns are assumed to be I0, I1, and I2, respectively. The selection probabilities of Super A, Super B, and special variation pattern when the type of pseudo-quadruple four times is selected are K0, K1, and K2, respectively. Again, there is a relationship of I2 / (I0 + I1 + I2) >> K2 / (K0 + K1 + K2), and selection of a special variation pattern when the probability variation is not big hit is very limited.

  When the variation pattern of the special symbol is determined, a command indicating the determined variation pattern is transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31 to the display control substrate 80, whereby the variable display device 9 has a decorative symbol display area 9 a to 9. In 9c, the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner. Further, a command indicating whether or not to make a jackpot and a command indicating a jackpot type is also transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 to the display control board 80 together with the command indicating the variation pattern, whereby the variable display device 9 has the special symbol display 10a. The result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is derived and displayed at the timing when the result of the variation display of the special symbol is displayed at 10b.

  The variation display mode of the decorative symbol in the variable display device 9 differs depending on the variation pattern of the special symbol determined based on the special symbol variation pattern determination table of FIG. That is, the special symbol variation pattern determination table, the variation pattern determination random number, and the variation pattern determination random number are used for the decoration symbol in the variable display device 9 rather than the determination of the variation pattern of the special symbol in the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It is closer to the actual situation that it is used to determine the fluctuation pattern. Normal variation 1 without pseudo-continuous and sudden probability variation 1, and normal variation 2 without pseudo-continuous and sudden probability variation 2 differ in the special symbol variation display, but there is no difference in decorative symbol variation display.

  The decorative symbol variation display is executed with a variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern of the special symbol determined in the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31. When it is other than the variation, various effects different from the variation display of the decorative design itself may be performed in the variation display process. As such an effect, a pseudo-continuous notice for notifying that a change pattern is to be displayed again in a pseudo-series (pseudo-series 1, pseudo-series 2, pseudo-series 3 or pseudo-series 4), and a decorative pattern There is a reach notice effect for notifying that a reach display mode appears in the variable display.

  In addition, in the pseudo-announcement notice or reach notice effect, depending on the difference in the effect to be executed, probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot, reach display mode appears, or re- A special symbol display will be given to the player with the expectation that the variable display will continue, in addition to the expectation given to the player in the pseudo-continuous notice or reach notice effect when any effect is executed The player is given a sense of expectation depending on which of the devices 10a and 10b is used to variably display special symbols.

  First, the pseudo continuous notice will be described. The quasi-continuous notice is an effect of notifying that the decorative symbol is displayed again after the temporary stop of the decorative symbol (except for the special re-variable display), and is executed prior to the temporary display of the decorative symbol changing temporarily. There are a notice and a post-fake notice that is executed when the decorative symbol change display is temporarily stopped. In the case of two to four pseudo-continuations, not only the first temporary stop but also the decorative pattern is displayed again and again after each temporary stop for each variation display included in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern. It will be noticed. Here, the pseudo continuous notice mode will be described first, and the determination of the pseudo continuous notice to be executed will be described later.

  The first pseudo-announcement is a pseudo-annual notice that is executed by turning on the decoration lamps 25a to 25c or driving the accessory 26 during the variation display before the decorative symbol temporarily stops in the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream. It is. The pre-pseudo notice includes an early execution timing and a late execution timing. For example, the pseudo-preliminary notice that the execution timing is early is, for example, the timing at which the display of the decorative pattern starts to change (or the display of the change after temporary stop) or the display of the post-temporary stop is still temporarily stopped. (The preliminary pseudo-notice that is started while the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped will be further noticed that the variable display will be executed after the next temporary stop). The late first preliminary notice is started, for example, after a certain period of time has elapsed since the display of the decorative pattern (after the temporary stop) is started.

  In addition, the preliminary simulation notice is executed by driving the accessory 26 in addition to the lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, the one executed only by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, Some are performed only by driving the object 26. For each of these, there are an early execution timing and a late execution timing, and there are six types of pre-pseudo notices according to the difference between the execution means for executing the pre-pseudo notice and the execution timing. Furthermore, there will be more types of prior notice in accordance with the difference in the production mode.

  Further, in the prior pseudo notice (including those used in combination with the driving of the accessory 26) executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, the number of executions of the re-variable display in the pseudo ream (the re-variable display to be executed next is also performed). The number of executions is included, but if one time is subtracted from here, the number of executions of re-variable display will not be changed). This number of executions is not notified directly, but is notified according to the difference in lighting among the decorative lamps 25a to 25c. For example, when notifying the first re-change display, the notification is made only by lighting the decorative lamp 25a, but the second time is notified by lighting the two decorative lamps 25a and 25b, and the second time the two decorative lamps 25b, The notification is made by turning on 25c, and the fourth time is notified by turning on all the decorative lamps 25a to 25c.

  However, in the preliminary pseudo-notice that is executed when the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on, one of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c that is turned on may be different from the actual number of re-variable display executions. As shown in detail later, the previous pseudo-announcement that is different from the original number of re-variable displays is likely to be followed by a new re-variable display after the re-variable display announced in the previous pseudo-announcement. It shows that it becomes.

  On the other hand, the post-prediction notice displays a chance eye that is an appearance of a loss that cannot appear except in the case of such a temporary stop when the decorative design temporarily stops in a fluctuating pattern of pseudo-reams, After all the temporarily stopped symbols are variably displayed again, a notice is given that a re-variable display including a temporary stop and a variably displayed decorative symbol will be executed. Since all the symbols are displayed again and again after the fourth temporary stop, the decorative symbols are not temporarily stopped again, so the post-pseudo advance notice is executed until the third temporary stop. The post-pseudo notice is included and executed in the process of displaying the decorative symbols, but is not determined on the main board 31 side, but on the display control board 80 side in accordance with the pseudo-variable display pattern. To decide.

  In addition, there are two types of chance eyes displayed in the post-pseudo notice, such as a chance eye A (for example, “1-3-5” and a chance eye B (for example, “1-5-3”). Then, one of the chances is displayed.

  Next, determination of the pseudo continuous notice to be executed (including no pseudo continuous notice) will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing various tables for determining the pseudo continuous notice to be executed. When determining the pseudo-continuous notice to be executed when the pseudo-series 1 time, the pseudo-series 2 times, the pseudo-series 3 times, or the pseudo-series 4 times is selected as the type of the variation pattern, the first random number is extracted. Referring to the table shown in FIG. 6A in accordance with the extracted first random number, first, there is no pseudo continuous notice, the first pseudo notice is executed, the second pseudo notice is executed, or both the first pseudo notice and the second pseudo notice are given. Is determined to be executed.

  This determination is determined when starting the decorative display of the decorative symbol. For example, when the pseudo-prediction is determined twice in the pseudo-continuous sequence, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped twice. Pseudo-notice (stop chance chance) is performed. In order to simplify the explanation, here, there is no pseudo-continuous notice, execution of prior pseudo-notice, and post-pseudo notice in any one of the pseudo-series, the pseudo-series 2, the pseudo-series 3 times, or the pseudo-series 4 times. Or the execution probability of both the first pseudo-announcement and the second pseudo-announcement are the same (however, depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined) However, the selection probabilities may be different in one pseudo-series, two pseudo-series, three pseudo-series, or four pseudo-series.

  In addition, the probability of selecting whether to execute pseudo-preliminary notice, post-pseudo-notice, execute pre-pseudo notice, or execute both is determined to be one of probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot, or short-term jackpot Depending on whether or not. In other words, the selection probabilities for selecting whether to execute the post-pseudo advance notice, execute the pre-pseudo notice, or execute both are α1, α2 when the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is not determined, respectively. , Α3, α4, and when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined, β1, β2, β3, and β4, respectively. The selection probabilities α4 and β4 for executing both are considerably higher than the selection probabilities α1 and β1 without pseudo-announcement, the selection probabilities α2 and β2 for executing post-pseudo-notice, and the selection probabilities α3 and β3 for executing pre-pseudo-notice. The number is low.

  Here, the selection probability β2 of the post-pseudo-notice when the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined is slightly lower than α2. The selection probability β3 for executing the prior pseudo notice and the selection probability β4 for executing both are higher than the selection probabilities α3 and α4 when neither is determined, and the selection probability β4 for executing both is α4. Is much higher than. β4 is only slightly higher than α4. Accordingly, the selection probability β1 without pseudo-announcement is significantly lower than α1. There is a magnitude relationship of α1 >> β1, α2> β2, α3 <β3, α4 << β4. From this, a relationship of β1 / α1 <β2 / α2 <β3 / α3 <β4 / α4 occurs.

  In the case of a loss calculated in consideration of the jackpot probability or the reach probability, the selection probability of executing both the pseudo-preliminary notice, the post-pseudo notice, and the pre-pseudo notice is {(1−X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + ( 1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} × α1, {(1-X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} × α2, {(1-X) × P1 X (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) * P2 * (B1 + B2 + B3)} * [alpha] 3, {(1-X) * P1 * (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) * P2 * (B1 + B2 + B3)} * [alpha] 4.

  On the other hand, if the probability of probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot probability is Y (Y is 9/10 or 8/10) among jackpots, probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot or hourly jackpot The selection probabilities for executing the pseudo-preliminary notice, the post-pseudo notice, and the pre-pseudo notice are both {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β1, {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β2, {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β3, {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β4.

  For example, when the probability of the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is calculated without the pseudo-announcement, [{(1-X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} × α1] / [{X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)} × β1] = [{(1-X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1-X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} / { X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)}] × [α1 / β1].

  Here, if [{(1−X) × P1 × (A1 + A2 + A3) + (1−X) × P2 × (B1 + B2 + B3)} / {X × Y × (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4)}] = Z, there is no pseudo continuous notice. The probability of the probability variation jackpot, probabilistic promotion jackpot or time-shortage jackpot for each of the following pseudo-notice and the preceding pseudo-notice is Z × (β1 / α1), Z × (β2 / α2), Z × (Β3 / α3), Z × (β4 / α4).

  Since (1-X) >> X, it is considered that Z> 1, and since there is a relationship of β1 / α1 <β2 / α2 <β3 / α3 <β4 / α4, Z × (β1 / α1) <Z It can be seen that a relationship of × (β2 / α2) <Z × (β3 / α3) <Z × (β4 / α4) occurs. Therefore, there is no execution of pseudo-continuous notice, post-pseudo notice is executed, pre-predictive notice is executed, both are different in execution, and the expected degree of probability variation jackpot, probable change promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot is different (as the mode described later , The expectation is high).

  Since the probability of the reach display appearance is increased by determining whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined, there is no execution of the pseudo-announcement, the execution of the first pseudo notice, the second pseudo notice Depending on the execution and the difference in execution, the degree of expectation that the reach display mode appears will also be different. Although there is no particular formula for this, even if it is calculated in the same manner as described above, the relationship can be understood. In addition, if any one of probability fluctuation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot is determined, it is easy to select the variation pattern of the pseudo-reams with a large number of times. The degree of expectation that the re-variation display in the pseudo-continuous will continue to be different depending on the execution of the post-pseudo advance notice and the difference in both executions.

  The execution probability of the post-pseudo advance notice (including the case where it is executed together with the pre-pseudo notice), that is, the probability that the chance eye is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped is either a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot Depending on whether or not is determined, the chances for the probability that the display result is lost (lost or sudden big hit) without displaying chance chances in the decorative display of the decorative pattern will be displayed without winning chances. The ratio of the probability of becoming a (probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot) is different from the ratio of the probability of being a jackpot when the chance eye is displayed with respect to the probability that the chance eye is displayed and lost.

  However, the execution probability of the post-pseudo-notice is set to the above ratio depending on whether the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined. The ratio of the probability that the reach display mode does not appear but the probability that the reach display mode appears but the probability that the reach display mode does not appear is displayed. Thus, the ratio of the probability that the reach display mode appears is also different.

  Furthermore, the ratio of the probability that the re-change display is executed M times and the chance eye is displayed with respect to the probability that the re-change display is executed only M times and the chance eye is not displayed in the decorative symbol display is N times (N > M) and the ratio of the probability that the re-variation display is executed N times and the chance that the chance is displayed is different from the probability that the re-variation display is executed and the chance is not displayed.

  In addition, the proportion of the pseudo-predictive notice that is executed when the pseudo-predictive notice is executed (that is, when the chance eye is displayed) when any one of the probability change jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is determined Is α4 / (α2 + α4), and the rate at which the prior pseudo notice is executed when the post pseudo notice is not executed (that is, when the chance eye is not displayed) is α3 / (α1 + α3). In addition, when the post-preliminary notice is executed when the loss is determined (that is, when the chance eye is displayed), the rate at which the pre-false notice is also executed is β4 / (β2 + β4). The rate at which the pre-pseudo notice is executed when the post-pseudo notice is not executed (that is, when the chance eye is not displayed) is β3 / (β1 + β3).

  Here, since α4 and β4 are considerably lower values than α1, α2, α3, β1, β2, and β3, α4 / (α2 + α4) <α3 / (α1 + α3), β4 / (β2 + β4) <β3 The relationship / (β1 + β3) is generated. In other words, regardless of whether the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the short-term jackpot, the rate at which the first pseudo notice is also executed when the chance eye is displayed is the first rate when the chance eye is not displayed. It is lower than the rate at which the pseudo notice is executed.

  When the following pseudo-notice is executed, the preceding pseudo-notice is executed, or both are executed, the pseudo-sequential notice to be executed (the pre-prediction notice and / or the post-pseudo notice is displayed in a variable display of decorative symbols) Is determined when the variable display is started for each unit from the first temporary stop to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the next temporary stop, and from the temporary stop to the final stop. It has become.

  When it is determined to execute the first pseudo notice (including the case where it is determined to be executed together with the second pseudo notice), the second random number is extracted, and the second random number is extracted according to the extracted second random number. ) With reference to the table shown in FIG. The selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo-notice differs depending on whether the notice of the first re-variable display, the second or third re-variable display notice, and the fourth re-variable display notice In addition, it differs depending on whether the re-variable display is executed after that or whether the display result is derived without executing the re-variable display.

  When it is decided to execute the pre-pseudo notice (including the case where it is decided to execute with the pre-pseudo notice), the third random number is extracted and the execution timing of the pre-pseudo notice is determined. It is supposed to be. Although a table for determining the execution timing of the first pseudo-notice is not particularly illustrated, the selection probability of the execution timing of the first pseudo-notice for the second to fourth re-variable display is the subsequent re-variable display executed. Or, it depends on whether the display result is derived without executing the re-variable display. For example, the ratio for selecting the late execution timing is higher when the re-variable display is executed after that than when the re-variable display is not executed again, but in either case, the early timing is selected. The ratio is higher than the ratio for selecting a later timing.

  In the first notice of re-variation display (the change pattern of special symbols is presumed to be pseudo-continuous, there is no pre-preliminary notice when re-variation display is not executed), no execution, only accessory, only decoration lamp Any mode of the accessory + decorative lamp is selected at a ratio of a1, a2, a3, a4, respectively. Since it is a notice of the first re-change display, only the decoration lamp 25a among the decoration lamps 25a to 25c is turned on in the form of the accessory + decoration lamp only.

  Also, it is only in the case of the first notice of re-variable display that no execution, that is, restricting the execution of the first pseudo notice is selected. If no execution is selected as the notice of the first re-variable display in the case of one pseudo-continuation, the prior notice is not executed at all until the final result is derived. In the case of 2 to 4 times in a row, even if no execution is selected as a notice of the first revariable display, the notice of the second to fourth revariable display is performed.

  In the notice of the second or third re-change display, only the accessory, decoration lamp only (± 0), decoration lamp only (-1), decoration lamp only (+1), accessory + decoration lamp (± 0), Any mode of an accessory + decorative lamp (−1) and an accessory + decorative lamp (+1) is selected. Here, “± 0”, “−1”, “+1” in only the decorative lamp and in the accessory + decorative lamp are the revariable display up to that point when it is assumed that the revariable display is performed after that. This indicates that the number of executions is 1 less than the actual number of executions and 1 more than the actual number of executions, as the actual number of executions. For example, when the decorative lamp (± 0) is selected as a notice of the second re-variable display, the decorative lamps 25a and 25b are turned on. When the decorative lamp (+1) is selected, the decorative lamps 25a and 25c are turned on. Lights up.

  In addition, the selection probability of each mode is b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, respectively, and then revariates when the display result is derived without performing revariable display thereafter. When the display is executed, they are c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c6, and c7, respectively. Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, there is a relationship of b1> c1 (= b1− (b5 + b6 + b7)), b2 = c2, b3 = c3, b4 = c4, b5 <c5, b6 <c6, b7 <c7. . That is, when the pre-preliminary notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26, the probability that the subsequent change display is executed is relatively low, while the lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26 are turned on. When the pre-pseudo advance notice is executed by driving, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that becomes relatively high.

  Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, b2 / (b2 + b3 + b4)> c2 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b3 / (b2 + b3 + b4) <c3 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b4 / (b2 + b3 + b4) <c4 / (c2 + c3 + c4), b5 There is also a relationship of (b5 + b6 + b7)> c5 / (c5 + c6 + c7), b6 / (b5 + b6 + b7) <c6 / (c5 + c6 + c7), b7 / (b5 + b6 + b7) <c7 / (c5 + c6 + c7). That is, when the number of times different from the actual number of variable displays is notified by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c in the previous pseudo-notice, the probability that the re-variable display will be executed after that is relatively high.

  In the notice of the fourth re-change display, only the accessory, decoration lamp only (± 0), decoration lamp only (-1), accessory + decoration lamp (± 0), accessory + decoration lamp (-1) Either aspect is selected. In the case of only the decorative lamp (± 0) and in the accessory + decorative lamp (± 0), all of the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are lit, but only in the decorative lamp (−1) and in the accessory + decorative lamp (−1). The decorative lamps 25a and 25c are turned on so that the number of times is one less than the actual number. In addition, the selection probability of each mode is d1, d2, d3, d4, and d5, respectively, and then the re-variable display is performed when the display result is derived without performing the re-variable display thereafter. Are e1, e2, e3, e4, and e5, respectively.

  Between the numerical values indicating the selection probabilities, there is a relationship of d1> e1 (= d1− (e4 + e5)), d2 = e2, d3 = e3, d4 <e4, d5 <e5. That is, when the pre-preliminary notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26, the probability that the subsequent change display is executed is relatively low, while the lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26 are turned on. When the pre-pseudo advance notice is executed by driving, the probability that the re-variable display is executed after that becomes relatively high.

  Further, d2 / (d2 + d3)> e2 / (e2 + e3), d3 / (d2 + d3) <e3 / (e2 + e3), d4 / (d4 + d5)> e4 / (e4 + e5), d5 / (d4 + d5) <e5 / (e4 + e5). There is also a relationship, and when the number of times different from the actual number of variable displays is notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c in the prior pseudo notice, the probability that the re-variable display will be executed after that is relatively high. .

  Note that the re-variable display is executed means that the number of pseudo-reams increases, and the probability that the reach display mode appears, the probability fluctuation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit, or the short-term big hit is high. That is. Accordingly, when the pre-pseudo advance notice is executed only by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on and the drive of the accessory 26 is performed rather than when the pre-pseudo notice is executed only by driving the accessory 26. When the pre-pseudo advance notice is executed, the expectation that the re-variable display is executed becomes higher than when the pre-pseudo notice is executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c, and a reach display mode appears. The degree of expectation is also high, such as the probability variation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot.

  Further, when the preliminary simulation is executed by lighting the decoration lamps 25a to 25c (including the case where the preliminary simulation is executed even when the accessory 26 is driven), the actual number of re-variable display is different. When the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on, the degree of expectation that the re-change display is executed becomes higher than when the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on in a manner corresponding to the actual number of times of re-change display. In addition, the degree of expectation that the reach display mode appears also increases the degree of expectation that the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot.

  Further, when it is determined to execute the post-pseudo advance notice (including the case where it is determined to execute with the pre-pseudo notice), the fourth random number is extracted, and according to the extracted fourth random number, FIG. With reference to the table shown in (c), the mode of the post-pseudo advance notice (chance eye A, chance eye B) is determined. Whether the selection probability of the pseudo-notice mode is changed again after the decorative symbol is displayed again, or is the display result derived without executing the display again? It is different depending on.

  Here, the selection probability g2 of the chance item B when the re-variable display is further executed is higher than the selection probability f2 of the chance item B when the re-variable display is not further executed. Further, the selection probability g1 of the chance eye A when the re-variable display is further executed is lower than the selection probability f1 of the chance eye A when the re-variable display is not further executed. That is, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and the chance eye B is displayed, the expectation that the re-variation display is executed is higher than when the chance eye A is displayed.

  Note that the re-variable display is executed means that the number of pseudo-reams increases, and the probability that the reach display mode appears, the probability fluctuation big hit, the probability change promotion big hit, or the short-term big hit is high. That is. In other words, when the chance eye B is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, not only the expectation level at which the re-variable display is executed is increased, but also the expectation level at which the reach display mode appears is also a probability variation jackpot and a probable variation. The degree of expectation for a promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot will also increase.

  In addition, when it is determined that the notice effect (not the pseudo continuous notice) in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice as the notice effect in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment is suddenly a jackpot. It is executed at a predetermined rate before the decorative symbol variation display is stopped. In other words, when the player thinks that the decorative symbol re-variable display is executed by the prior pseudo-notification, the display of the variable display is displayed without executing the decorative symbol re-variable display, and the second big hit It is sometimes controlled to a probability variation state through a gaming state (which is often not noticed by the player).

  In the case of a big hit, if the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice is executed, the mode of the notice effect (same as the notice of the first revariable display in the previous pseudo-notice) and the execution timing selection probability Is different from the ratio for selecting the mode and the execution timing in the case where the first change notice is notified in the first pseudo notice (only when the change indication is executed) (for example, no execution, role The selection probability of only objects, only lamps, and an accessory + lamp is h1, h2, h3, and h4).

  Next, the reach notice effect will be described. The reach notice effect is a notice indicating that there is a possibility that a reach display mode may appear in the variation display of decorative symbols. In the variation pattern in which the reach display mode appears, the reach notice effect is performed while the variation display before the reach display mode appears, and in the variation pattern in which the reach display mode does not appear, the reach display mode appears. The reach notice effect is performed while the change display is performed while the possibility remains. In the quasi-continuous variation pattern, a reach notice effect may be performed between each variation display from the temporary start of the decorative symbol to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the temporary stop, and from the temporary stop to the final stop.

  Although the reach notice effect is a notice indicating the possibility that the reach display mode appears, if the reach display mode appears, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot may be reached. If the display mode does not appear, the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot and the hourly jackpot will not be reached. Accordingly, it can be said that the reach notice effect is an effect indicating the possibility of a probability variation jackpot, a probability change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot.

  There are various types of effects in the reach notice effect executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment. Among them, any one of the first to third stages is included. A step-up effect in which the effect changes step by step is included. For step-up effects, only the first stage is executed and finished (step-up effect 1), the first stage and the second stage are executed in sequence (step-up effect 2), and the first stage is finished. There is one (step-up effect 3) that is executed by sequentially executing from the stage to the third stage. Step-up effect 3 is an effect that is executed only when the reach display mode appears in the variable display. In addition, there are production A and production B as reach notice productions other than the step-up production.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a notice effect determination table for determining a reach notice effect executed in each change display in the pseudo-continuous change pattern. However, the reach display mode always appears after the special re-variable display is performed by operating the chance button 16 during the special operation period even in the pseudo-continuous change pattern (the reach effect display is then displayed in Super B). Therefore, the reach notice effect is not determined according to this table. The figure shows how the decorative symbols for each of the L-th (L = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) variation displays of the pseudo-continuous K times (K = 1, 2, 3, 4) are finally stopped. The selection probabilities of production A, production B, step-up production 1, step-up production 2, and step-up production 3 when the reach display mode appears and when the reach display mode does not appear are shown.

  The production A and the production B are executed while the previous pseudo-notice is being executed. The step-up effect is executed while the decorative symbol is variably displayed. Even when the step-up effect 3 is selected, the third stage can be executed before the decorative symbol stops (temporarily). (Step-up effect 1 and step-up effect 2 end earlier).

  As can be seen from FIG. 7, the ratio for selecting each of production A, production B, step-up production 1, step-up production 2, and step-up production 3 as the reach notice production is the Lth fluctuation display of the pseudo-continuous K productions. Depending on the difference between K and L, and whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol finally stops.

  The more detailed case will be described. The probability that the re-change display is performed after the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the re-change display is performed when the effect A is executed. A selection probability is defined. For example, comparing the case where the reach display mode is not achieved in the second variation display of the first pseudo-series and the second variation display of the second pseudo-series, bb1 / (ba1 + bb1) <db1 / (da1 + db1). Furthermore, the probability that the production B is selected is higher in the second of the two pseudo-continuations in which the variable display is executed.

  In addition, the selection probability of the reach announcement effect is determined so that the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect B is executed is higher than the probability that the reach display mode appears when the effect A is executed. For example, ba2 / (ba1 + ba2) <bb2 / (bb1 + bb2) in the second variation display of the first pseudo-continuation. As the number of variable displays increases, the probability fluctuation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot or the hourly / temporary jackpot is likely to be reached, and if the reach display mode is not used, the probability fluctuation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot or the hourly / temporary jackpot will not be obtained, so It can be said that the probability that the jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot will be higher than the probability that the stage A is executed and the probability change jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot.

  Further, the selection probability of the step-up effect 3 is 0 except when the reach display mode appears in the (K + 1) th variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times. In addition, the selection probabilities of the step-up effects 1 are all zero in the (K + 1) th variation display of pseudo-continuous K regardless of whether or not the reach display mode appears. In other words, the reach display mode does not appear in the variable display in which the step-up effect has ended only in the first stage (however, the reach display mode may appear in the later variable display). Then, after the decorative design temporarily stops, the variable display is executed again.

  Hereinafter, the process performed for the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed according to timer interrupt processing executed every 2 ms. Note that only the release of the game ball to the game area 7 based on the operation of the hitting operation handle 5 is performed independently of the timer interruption process every 2 ms.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed every 2 ms in the main process executed by the CPU 56. When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 performs the register saving process (step S21), and then executes the game control process of steps S22 to S36. In the game control process, the CPU 56 first inputs detection signals of switches such as the gate switch 61, the start port switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning port switch 64 and the like via the switch circuit 32, and determines the state thereof. A switch process is performed (step S22).

  Next, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a jackpot determination random number and a jackpot type determination random number used for game control is performed (step S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number (step S24) and a process for updating the counter value for generating the display random number (step S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol process processing (step S26). In the special symbol process, the corresponding symbol is selected according to the special symbol process flag for controlling the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the variable display device 9, the special variable winning device 20 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. It is issued and executed. The value of the special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Further, normal symbol process processing is performed (step S27). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 12 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. By executing the normal symbol process, the display control of the normal symbol display 12 and the opening / closing control of the variable winning device 15 are executed.

  Next, the CPU 56 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in the special symbol process, and an effect control command for displaying on the variable display device 9 (a command indicating a variation pattern, whether or not to be a big hit, and a big hit type is set. Special symbol command control processing for sending the command to the display control board 80 is performed (step S28). Further, a normal symbol command control process for sending an effect control command related to the normal symbol set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in the normal symbol process is performed (step S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (step S30).

  Further, the CPU 56 executes a prize ball process for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the start opening switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning prize opening switch 64, and the like (step S31). Specifically, a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls is given to the payout control board 36 in response to winning detection based on any of the start opening switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, the winning opening switch 64, etc. being turned on. Output. The payout control CPU mounted on the payout control board 36 drives the ball payout device 44 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of prize balls.

  And CPU56 performs the memory | storage process which checks the increase / decrease in a pending | holding memory | storage number (step S32). In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the gaming machine to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed (step S33). Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a drive command is issued to the solenoid circuit 33 (step S34). In order to open the variable prize-winning device 15 and the special variable prize-winning device 20, or to switch the game ball passage in the big prize opening 21, the solenoid circuit 33 is configured with solenoids 71 to 73 in accordance with a drive command. Drive. Thereafter, the contents of the register are restored (step S35), and the interrupt enabled state is set (step S36).

  Next, the special symbol process in step S26 will be described. In the special symbol process, the CPU 56 first determines whether or not the start opening switches 62a and 62b for detecting that a game ball has won the start winning opening 14a and 14b provided in the game board 6 are turned on. In other words, it is determined whether or not a start winning that causes the game ball to win the start winning ports 14a and 14b has occurred, and if a start winning has occurred, a start port switch passing process is performed. After that, depending on the state of the special symbol process flag, special symbol normal processing, variation pattern setting processing, special symbol variation processing, special symbol suspension processing, pre-winning opening pre-processing, large winning opening open processing, which will be described below, One of the jackpot end processing is performed.

  Special symbol normal processing: Wait until the special symbol variable display can be started. When the CPU 56 enters a state where the special symbol variable display can be started (the special symbol display 10a, 10b has finished executing the special symbol game), the numerical data stored in the holding storage buffer. Are sequentially checked for start winnings to the start winning ports 14a and 14b.

  If the count value of the on-hold storage counter is not 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14a, the jackpot determination table of FIG. 4A is referred to according to the gaming state, and the jackpot is determined based on the value of the jackpot determination random number. Or not (whether or not to obtain a specific display result). In the case of jackpot, the jackpot type determination table in FIG. 4B is referred to, and the jackpot type is also determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number.

  If the count value of the hold storage counter is 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14a, but the count value of the hold storage counter is not 0 for the start winning to the start winning opening 14b, the start winning to the start winning opening 14a As in the case of, whether or not to win the jackpot based on the value of the jackpot determination random number (whether to be a specific display result) by referring to the jackpot determination table of FIG. 4A according to the gaming state To decide. In the case of winning the starting prize to the starting prize opening 14b, the jackpot type determination table in FIG. 4C is referred to, and the jackpot type is also determined based on the value of the random number for jackpot type determination.

  Fluctuation pattern setting processing: A plurality of types of variation patterns determined in advance according to the random value for variation pattern determination extracted at the time of starting winning the variation pattern of the special symbol in the special symbol display 10a, 10b for which the big hit lottery has been performed Choose from. Based on the determined variation pattern, the variation time of the special symbol is set in a special symbol process timer (configured by a down timer), and then the special symbol process timer is started. At this time, a signal for instructing the start of variable display of the special symbol is output to any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, and a command indicating the selected variation pattern, a command indicating whether or not the jackpot is set, and a command indicating the jackpot type Is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after. It should be noted that if the variation pattern and whether or not the jackpot type and the jackpot type are the same, the command transmitted to the display control board 80 even when the special symbol variation display is performed by any of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b. There is no difference.

  Special symbol variation processing: Monitor the time of the special symbol process timer with the variation time set according to the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern setting processing, and when the variation time has passed and the special symbol process timer times out, Next, control is performed to shift to the special symbol stop process.

  Special symbol stop process: Stops variable display of a special symbol variably displayed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, and outputs a signal indicating the stop of the special symbol to any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. Is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in a special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after that. It should be noted that the command indicating the stop of the symbol is the same regardless of whether the special symbol change display is performed on any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b.

  Pre-opening process for the big winning opening: When this process is performed for the first time after the big hit, after setting the number of rounds of the big winning opening 21, the control for opening the big winning opening 21 is started. Specifically, the solenoid 72 is driven to open the special winning opening 21 and to open the special variable winning device 20. In addition, the number of rounds in which the special winning opening 21 is opened is counted, and the execution time of the special winning opening opening process is set by the release timer.

  Process during opening of the big winning opening: a state in which a command for round display in the first jackpot gaming state and the second jackpot gaming state is transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after And a process for confirming that the closing condition of the special winning opening 21 is satisfied.

  Jackpot end process: A command indicating that the first jackpot game state or the second jackpot game state has ended is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after.

  On the other hand, in various sub-side boards such as the display control board 80, the variable display device 9 displays the decorative symbols and decorative symbols in accordance with the variation display of the special symbols based on the command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31. Are displayed in a variable manner, or a process for executing a jackpot round effect is performed when the game is controlled to the first jackpot game state. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  In this main process, first, an initialization process for initializing a necessary area in the RAM included in the display control microcomputer mounted on the display control board 80 is performed (step S701). Next, it is determined whether or not the state of the timer interrupt flag set by timer interrupt processing executed every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) is 1 (step S702). The process of step S702 is repeated until it becomes.

  After the timer interrupt flag status is 1, first, the timer interrupt flag is cleared to 0 (step S703), and it is checked whether a command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 is received, If a command has been received, command analysis processing for analyzing the content is executed (step S704).

  Next, based on the analysis result of the command in the command analysis process, an effect control process process is executed in which the decorative display is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 or a jackpot round effect is executed (step S705). In the effect control process, a process for executing a pseudo-continuous notice and a notice effect is also performed. For example, a pseudo-announcement decision is made at the timing when (re-) variable display of decorative symbols starts with a pseudo-variable variation pattern, and according to the decision, the period before the decorative symbol stops or when the decorative symbol stops This is a pseudo-annual notice. Further, it is monitored whether or not the operation period is in the special variation pattern of the pseudo-series, and if the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period, the special re-variation display is performed and the chance button 16 is not operated. And a specific effect is performed from a certain period before the end of the fluctuation.

  Further, a random number update process for updating random numbers such as a random number for notice type determination, a random number for notice mode determination, a random number for round effect type determination, a random number for effect pattern determination, and the like is executed (step S706), and the process returns to step S702. .

  Next, an execution example of the prior pseudo notice in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a timing chart showing an execution example of the prior pseudo notice. Here, an example in which two pseudo-continuations (a total of three fluctuation displays are executed with two temporary stops) is selected is shown. In addition, the earlier pseudo-notice with the earlier execution timing starts at the same time as the decorative pattern change display starts, and the earlier pseudo-notice with the later execution timing starts after a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of the decorative pattern change display. Shall be started.

  FIG. 10A shows, as a comparative example, a case in which the fluctuation display without loss, no reach, and no quasi-continuation is continuously executed three times based on the hold storage (in order to simplify the explanation, each time The time for the variable display is the same as the time for the variable display from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop from the first change to the first temporary stop executed in the pseudo-continuous two times). FIG. 10B shows an example of the case where the prior pseudo notice is executed at an early timing in the second variation display. FIG. 10 (c) shows an example in which the first pseudo notice is executed at a later timing in the second variation display. In the example of FIGS. 10B and 10C, it is determined that the first pseudo notice is executed as the pseudo continuous notice when the decorative symbol variation display is first started.

  First, in the example of FIG. 10 (a), at the timing t1, the decorative symbol variation display in the variation pattern without pseudo-continuations based on the first start winning is started. Here, the execution of the pre-pseudo notice is not determined, and the pre-pseudo notice is not executed. If the execution timing is determined to be the earlier pseudo-notice, the earlier pseudo-notice is not executed at the timing t2 at which the earlier pseudo-notice is to be executed.

  After the display of variation of the decorative pattern based on the first start winning is stopped at timing t3, the decorative pattern in the variation pattern without pseudo-continuous based on the second starting winning is stored at the timing t4 after a certain period of time has elapsed since then. Fluctuation display is started. Again, the execution of the pre-pseudo notice is not determined, and the pre-pseudo notice is not executed. If the execution timing is determined to be the earlier pseudo-notice, the earlier pseudo-notice is not executed at the timing t5 at which the earlier pseudo-notice is executed.

  After the display of variation of the decorative design based on the second start winning is stopped at timing t6, the decorative pattern in the variation pattern without pseudo-continuous based on the third starting winning is stored by holding storage at timing t7 after a certain period of time has elapsed from there. Fluctuation display is started. Again, the execution of the pre-pseudo notice is not determined, and the pre-pseudo notice is not executed. If the execution timing is determined to be the earlier pseudo-notice, the earlier pseudo-notice is not executed at the timing t8 at which the earlier pseudo-notice is executed.

  In this way, when the variable display without pseudo-continuous is executed one after another based on the pending storage (a large number of such cases occur from the jackpot probability and the selection probability of the variation pattern type), No pseudo notice will be executed. Stopping the decorative display of decorative symbols is not a temporary stop, so there is no chance of being displayed there. Therefore, there is no scene in which the player can expect the re-change display of the pseudo-ream to continue.

  In the example of FIG. 10B, the decorative symbol variation display in the variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous two times is started at the timing t1. Here, when it is decided to execute the first pseudo-notice, the mode of the first pseudo-notice is further determined by the change display until the first temporary stop. Since it is a display, there is a case where no execution is determined as a mode of the prior pseudo notice. In this case, the pre-pseudo notice is not executed at timing t1, and the pre-pseudo notice is not executed also at timing t2. For the player, it is not known whether the variation display of the decorative symbol is executed with the variation pattern without the pseudo-ream that frequently appears, and it is expected that the re-variable display is executed at timing t3 until the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It will not be possible.

  At the timing t3, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the first time, but since it is not determined to execute the post-pseudo advance notice, the chance is not displayed as the decorative symbol display mode at the temporary stop. Thereafter, at timing t4, the variable display (second variable display) is started after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the first time among the two pseudo-continuations. Here, the pre-pseudo advance notice mode and execution timing at the time of the second variation display are determined, but the pre-pseudo notice is executed at timing t4 by determining that the execution timing is early. By the first preliminary notice at the timing t4, the player can increase the expectation that the variable display will be executed again after the second temporary stop (and that the reach display mode will appear and the jackpot will appear). . In addition, since the mode of the prior pseudo-notice is selected with the selection ratio in the case where there is a re-variable display, the expectation is often enhanced by the mode of the prior pseudo-notice.

  At the timing t6, the decorative symbol makes a second temporary stop, but no chance is displayed here either. After that, at timing t7, the variable display (third variable display) is started after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the second time among the two pseudo-continuations. Here, the pre-pseudo advance notice mode and execution timing at the time of the third variable display are determined, but the pre-pseudo notice is executed at timing t7 by determining that the execution timing is early. However, since the pre-prediction notice mode is selected at the selection ratio when there is no re-variation display here, the degree to which the expectation is increased by the pre-prediction notice mode is the prior pseudo-notice for the second variable display. Not so good.

  In the example of FIG. 10C, it is assumed that the decorative symbol variation display is executed until the timing t3 as in the example of FIG. 10B. Thereafter, at timing t4, the variable display (second variable display) is started after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped for the first time among the two pseudo-continuations. Here, the pre-prediction notice mode and the execution timing at the time of the second variation display are determined, but the pre-prediction notice is not executed at the timing t4 by determining that the execution timing is late. The pseudo-preliminary notice is executed at timing t5 later.

  Since the previous pseudo-notice has not been executed at the timing t4, the player cannot expect much from the fact that the re-variable display is executed at this time. However, if the first preliminary notice is executed with a delay at the timing t5, the player will execute the variable display again after the second temporary stop (further, the reach display mode will appear and it will be a big hit) ). In addition, since the possibility of re-variation display is higher in the earlier pseudo-notice at a later timing, a greater sense of expectation is given to the player from the place where the expectation was less. At the timing t6, the decorative symbol makes a second temporary stop, but no chance is displayed here either. Thereafter, after the timing t7, for example, as in the case of FIG. 10B, the third variation display in the second pseudo-continuation is performed.

  Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the decorative symbol variation display when a special one of the pseudo-reams is selected as the decorative symbol variation pattern will be described based on a specific example. FIG. 11 is a timing chart showing an execution example of the decorative symbol variation display when a special of the pseudo-ream is selected. In this example, a case where a special three times of pseudo-continuations is selected is shown. FIG. 11A shows a case where the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period, and FIG. 11B shows a case where the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period.

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, it is assumed that a new variation display is started at a timing t0 with a special variation pattern of three pseudo-continuations. Thereafter, all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped for the third time at timing t1, and all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again at timing t2. Then, by the timing t3, the left decorative design and the right decorative design are temporarily stopped, the reach display mode appears, and the normal reach display effect is started. Up to this point, the operation of the chance button 16 is irrelevant.

  Next, a period between timings t4 and t7 is an operation period of the chance button 16 (for example, a screen that prompts the variable display device 9 to operate the chance button 16 may be displayed during this period). In the example of 11 (a), it is assumed that the chance button 16 has not been operated until the timing t7. In this case, the normal reach display effect is continued as it is after the timing t7, and the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped at the timing t9 (then, all decorative symbols are temporarily stopped).

  After that, at the timing t10 when a certain period has passed, the decorative pattern in the inside is again displayed in a variable manner, and the specific effect is started from here. Then, when the predetermined timing t11 is reached as the variation time in the special variation pattern of the three pseudo-continuous times, the decorative pattern in the middle is also stopped again, and the variation display of the decorative symbol is displayed according to the results of the big hit lottery and the big hit type lottery. The result is derived to the variable display device 9.

  On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 11B, it is assumed that the chance button 16 is operated at timing t5 in the operation period (timing t4 to t7) of the chance button 16. When the chance button 16 is operated at this time, the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped in the display mode of the loss at the timing t5 (the timing at which the decorative pattern in the middle is actually temporarily stopped is after the stop operation. Therefore, although it is slightly behind the timing t5, it is described as being temporarily stopped at the timing t5 for the sake of simplicity of explanation (the same applies to a modified example described later), and all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped. It becomes a state.

  At timing t6 when a certain period (a period equivalent to the period between timings t9 and t10) has elapsed from timing t5 at which the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped, the decorative display of the decorative pattern has not been resumed, but the operation can be performed from here. A swing effect that swings all the decorative symbols is executed until the timing t7 when the period ends, and the time adjustment of the decorative symbol variation display is performed. Thereafter, at the timing t7 when the operation period ends, all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again. It should be noted that the re-variation lamp 17 is lit in a predetermined manner during the period between the timings t5 and t7 from when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped by the operation of the chance button 16 until the variation is displayed again. It is notified that all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again.

  Thereafter, by the timing t8, the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern are temporarily stopped, the reach display mode appears, and the reach display effect by the super B is started. Then, when the predetermined timing t11 is reached as the variation time in the special variation pattern of the three pseudo-continuous times, the decorative pattern in the middle is also stopped again, and the variation display of the decorative symbol is displayed according to the results of the big hit lottery and the big hit type lottery. The result is derived to the variable display device 9.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the big winning lottery and the big hitting type lottery are performed by winning at the start winning ports 14a and 14b, and the special symbols are variably displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. The result of the lottery is notified to the player by deriving the display result. In addition, the variable display device 9 displays the decorative symbol in a variable manner in accordance with the variable symbol display, and the player is notified of the lottery result based on the display result.

  Here, in the variation pattern of the special symbol and the decorative symbol (especially, the decorative symbol), the variation pattern of the special symbol for one time (that is, one start prize) is displayed in all of the decorative symbol display areas 9a to 9c. A pseudo-variation variation pattern is included in which after the decorative symbol variation display is temporarily stopped, a re-variable display for variably displaying all the decorative symbols is performed once or a plurality of times. There are types of pseudo-reams according to the number of re-variable displays: 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, 3 pseudo-reams, and 4 pseudo-reams.

  Pseudo-ream can be selected as the type of variation pattern when the result of the variation display of special symbols and decorative designs is lost, or when the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot, but the re-variation in the pseudo-run As the number of times of display increases, the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is easily selected. Further, the pseudo pattern 4 is selected as the variation pattern type only when the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot.

  In addition, when the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot is reached, the reach display mode always appears as a premise, so the reach display mode appears as the number of re-variable display in the pseudo-ream is large. Sometimes it is easy to choose. As the number of pseudo-reams increases, it is easier to select when the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot hits, so the player's expectation will increase as the number of re-change display executed increases. Become.

  In particular, the pseudo-quadruple 4 is selected only when it is determined that the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot. In other words, if the fourth re-change display (fifth change display) is performed, it can be clearly determined that the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot will be determined at that time. As the number of re-variable displays increases, the closer to the fourth re-variable display, the higher the expectation that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot will be increased.

  In addition, in the variable display of decorative symbols, a reach display mode may appear in the process, and a reach display effect is performed after the reach display mode appears. Here, there are various types of reach display effects such as normal, super A, and super B, but normal is easy to be selected when it finally loses even if the reach display mode appears. Super A and Super B are easy to be selected when the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot.

  However, in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern in which the reach display mode appears, since the reach display mode appears after the last temporary stop in principle, the reach display mode appears when the number of re-variable displays is small. , The expectation for probability change jackpots, probabilistic promotion jackpots or short-term jackpots will be diminished. Furthermore, if the reach display effect after the appearance of the reach display mode is normal, the expectation for the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the short-time jackpot is further diminished.

  On the other hand, special is included as a variation pattern among the types of pseudo-continuous three times and four times. For example, in a special variation pattern of three pseudo-continuations, a reach display mode appears after the second re-variation display (that is, in the third variation display), and then a normal reach display effect is executed. . However, if the player operates the chance button 16 during a predetermined operation period after the start of the normal reach display effect, the decorative pattern inside temporarily stops in the display mode of losing, and then all decorative patterns are displayed again. A special re-variable display that is displayed in a variable manner is executed. Then, after the special re-variable display, the reach display effect by the super B is performed. In this case, since the number of re-variable displays is increased and the reach display effect by Super B is executed, it is possible to increase the player's sense of expectation for probability variation jackpots, probability variation jackpots or short-term jackpots. Can be improved.

  However, after the reach display mode appears and the normal reach display effect is started, the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and then all the symbols are changed and displayed again. When the reach display effect is executed, a considerable time must be secured from the start of the normal reach display effect until the final display result is derived. On the other hand, just because a considerable amount of time is secured from the start of the normal reach display effect to the derivation of the display result, the operation of the chance button 16 is arbitrary by the player, and this is not operated during the operation period. There is also.

  In this way, when the reach display mode appears in the special variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times, and the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period during the normal reach display effect, the operation period The display result of the variable display is derived after the specific effect is executed after ending. Even if a considerable amount of time is secured from the start of the normal reach display effect until the final display result is derived by the execution of this specific effect, the effect of the decorative pattern display (especially the normal reach display) It is possible to prevent the display effect) from being extended and to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable.

  Furthermore, even if the player's expectation is diminished by starting the normal reach display effect after the appearance of the reach display mode, the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period by executing this specific effect. Special re-variable display is performed, reach display mode appears after all decorative symbols are again displayed in a variable manner, and the probability display jackpot, probabilistic promotion jackpot is the same as when the reach display effect by Super B is executed. Alternatively, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for time and jackpot, and to improve the interest of the game.

  When the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period in a special variation pattern of three or four pseudo-continuations, after temporarily stopping the decorative design at the operation timing (actually a little later) In this case, the swaying effect of swinging the decorative pattern is performed only during the period until the operation period ends. Regardless of the timing when the chance button 16 is operated, all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again from the timing when the operation period ends.

  As described above, the period from the operation of the chance button 16 to the end of the operation period varies depending on the operation timing of the chance button 16, but the time is adjusted by performing a shaking effect during this period. Then, after adjusting the time by this shaking effect, the decorative pattern may be changed in the same manner regardless of at which timing the chance button 16 is operated. This facilitates time management for controlling the variation display of the decorative symbols in the special variation pattern of the pseudo-continuation 3 or 4 times.

  In addition, when the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period in the special variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 3 times or 4 times, all the symbols including the inside symbol are temporarily stopped by this. Is displayed again by the re-variation lamp 17. As described above, although the display of the variation of the decorative pattern in the special re-variation display is informed, the re-variation lamp 17 located in a relatively inconspicuous place away from the variable display device 9 is informed so that Can prevent the player from noticing until the decorative symbol is actually variably displayed in the special re-variable display (or until the shaking effect is started), and can give the player an unexpectedness. .

  Furthermore, as a display result of the variation display of the decorative symbols, if the same type of decorative symbols is aligned, it will not change that any type of symbol is a big hit, but if it is aligned with “1” or “7” Then, it is determined that the probability variation state is controlled after the end of the jackpot gaming state. In other words, if the numbers other than “1” or “7” are arranged, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state may become a short time state that does not become a probability variation state. When the original is not in the probability fluctuation state, if the jackpot with a decorative pattern other than “1” or “7”, at least a profit from the jackpot gaming state can be obtained, and even if it is not a probable promotion jackpot, Since it is not different from the previous gaming state, the player will not feel lost.

  On the other hand, if the winning pattern is “1” or “7” when the probability variation state is controlled, the player can obtain the profit of the jackpot gaming state without changing the probability variation state. It will be. However, if a big win is made with a decorative pattern other than “1” or “7”, the player can obtain the profit of the big win gaming state, but the probability variation state may be terminated. May feel lost. Therefore, even when the reach display mode, which is one step before the jackpot display mode, appears, if it is based on a decorative pattern other than “1” or “7”, the player's expectation is reduced. It becomes a factor.

  Of course, when a special variation pattern of three pseudo-series is selected due to a loss with reach, a reach display mode with a decorative pattern other than “1” or “7” (a promising change promotion jackpot or a jackpot display mode with a short-term jackpot) The reach display mode that constitutes a part cannot appear. In addition, when 3 or 4 pseudo-variables are selected as the type of the variation pattern for the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the short-term bonus, the probability of selecting a special variation pattern is 3 It is lower than when 4 times is selected.

  Therefore, even when the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period in the special variation pattern, the specific effect is executed when the reach display mode with the decorative pattern other than “1” or “7” appears. Would be very limited. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player's expectation from diminishing until the specific performance is executed, and the player's expectation is continued until the result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is derived. Can be improved.

  By the way, when the pseudo pattern 1 time, the pseudo series 2 times, the pseudo series 3 times, or the pseudo series 4 times is selected as the type of the variation pattern, all the decorative symbols in the variation pattern are temporarily stopped after the temporary stop. There is a case where a pseudo-continuous notice for notifying that a re-variable display for displaying a decorative pattern again is performed. By executing the pseudo-announcement, the player can expect to see a re-variable display in the process of decorative display of the decorative symbols, and can also expect to see a re-variable display being performed. The appearance of the display mode can also be expected to be a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-time jackpot.

  In addition, the pseudo-continuous notice is executed by turning on the decorative lamps 25a to 25c or driving the accessory 26 during the variable display before the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern. By displaying the chance chance when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped with the pseudo-preliminary notice and the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream, after all the temporarily stopped symbols are changed and displayed again, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and changed. There is a pseudo-notice after notifying that the re-variable display including the display is executed.

  At the time of starting the first variation display of a decorative symbol for a pseudo-continuous notice to be executed when pseudo-ream 1, pseudo-ream 2, pseudo-ream 3 or pseudo-ream 4 is selected as the type of variation pattern In this case, it is determined whether to execute a pseudo-preliminary notice, execute a pre-pseudo notice, execute a post-pseudo notice, or execute both a pre-pseudo notice and a post-pseudo notice. Here, the probability of selecting whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pseudo-predictive notice, execute the pre-simulated notice, or execute both is determined as one of probability change jackpot, probability change jackpot or jackpot Depending on whether or not.

  For this reason, a prior pseudo-notice is performed before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, a post-preliminary preliminary notification is performed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped (a chance eye is displayed), or Depending on whether both post-pseudo advance notices are performed, or whether neither pre-pseudo notices nor post-pseudo notices are made, it is possible to expect a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot, From this, it can be expected that the reach display mode appears and the re-variable display is executed.

  In addition, before the decorative symbol temporarily stops, it is notified in advance that the re-variable display is performed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, or it is notified that the re-variable display is performed in both. In addition, the player's interest will be directed to whether or not the re-variable display will be announced in any of them, and the player's attention will be raised throughout the process of a series of decorative symbols Can improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, in the determination of whether to execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, execute the pre-pseudo notice, execute the pseudo-preliminary notice, or execute both the pseudo-preliminary notice and the post-pseudo-predictor, And the execution of both the first pseudo-announcement and the second pseudo-announcement are different depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is decided. Yes. In other words, the ratio of the probability that a chance hit is not displayed for a probability that a chance is not displayed and a big hit is not displayed at the time of a temporary stop, and the chance eye for the probability that a chance is not reached even if a chance is displayed at the time of a temporary stop is displayed. It is different from the ratio of the probability of being a big hit.

  As a result, paying attention to the post-pseudo-notice, the player is expected to win a probable change jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot depending on whether or not the chance is derived when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It is possible to improve the interest of the game. In addition, letting the player expect a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-time jackpot will cause a reach display mode to appear and a re-variable display to be executed.

  Also, just because the chance is not displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped does not necessarily mean that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot does not occur, but when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, Just because it is displayed does not necessarily mean that the probability change jackpot, variable promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot. This gives a certain sense of expectation to the player by displaying a chance when the decorative design is temporarily stopped, but does not diminish the player's attention to the entire process of a series of variation display. , You can improve the fun of the game.

  In addition, there are two types of chances A and chances B that can be stopped when the post-pseudo advance notice is executed, and the selection ratio of which to stop is determined again after the next temporary stop. It differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can be made to pay attention not only to whether or not the chance eye is displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, but also to the type of the chance eye to be displayed. In addition, it is possible to give a player a sense of expectation that a re-variable display will be executed according to the type of chance item displayed when the vehicle is temporarily stopped, thereby expecting that a reach display mode will appear. The player can also have a sense of expectation for a sense of change, a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot.

  In addition, in the determination of whether to execute a pseudo-preliminary notice, execute a pre-pseudo notice, execute a pre-pseudo notice, or execute both a pre-pseudo notice and a post-pseudo notice, at least the pre-pseudo notice is executed (pre-pseudo notice) And the execution of both the first pseudo-announcement and the second pseudo-announcement) will also differ depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is decided. Yes. This makes it possible for the player to expect a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot depending on whether or not a prior pseudo notice is executed before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. , You can improve the fun of the game. In addition, letting the player expect a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-time jackpot will cause a reach display mode to appear and a re-variable display to be executed.

  In addition, the preliminary simulation is performed by turning on the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and driving the accessory 26, and the execution mode thereof includes a plurality of types of modes for each variable display executed in the pseudo-series. It is to be selected from home. Then, the selection ratio of the previous pseudo-notice mode differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again. For this reason, when a preliminary | simulation advance notice is performed, a player can be made to pay attention also to the aspect. In addition, according to the difference in the form of the prior preliminary notice that has been executed, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display will be executed, and thereby the expectation for the appearance of the reach display form, It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a probability change jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also be given.

  In addition, the pre-prediction mode includes a mode in which only the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are turned on, a mode in which only the accessory 26 is driven, and a mode in which lighting of the decorative lamps 25a to 25c and driving of the accessory 26 are combined. It is included. The fact that the selection ratio of the pre-preliminary notice mode is different depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again means that the rendering means (decorative lamps 25a to 25c, the accessory 26) used to execute the pre-preliminary notice The ratio for selecting is also different depending on whether or not re-variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can expect the re-variation display to be executed according to the difference in the production means in which the preliminary notice is executed, and can expect the re-variation display to be executed. It can be expected that a reach display mode will appear and that a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also be expected.

  In addition, in the aspect of the preliminary warning, at least the decoration lamps 25a to 25c are turned on, and the player is notified of the number of re-variable display depending on the type of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c to be turned on. Become. Of course, there is an aspect in which the number of re-variable display notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c is different from the actual number, but the selection ratio of the aspect that is different from the actual number is further increased. It differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed. For this reason, the player can expect the re-variable display to be executed depending on whether or not the number of re-variable displays notified by lighting of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c is the same as the actual number. By expecting that the re-variable display is executed, it is possible to expect a reach display mode to appear and a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot.

  In addition, the mode of the prior pseudo-notice is selected from a plurality of types for each variation display executed in the pseudo-ream, but from the variation start of the decorative design to the first temporary stop. In the variable display, there is a case where no execution is selected as a mode of the prior pseudo notice. However, even if there is no prior pseudo-notice in the fluctuation display until the first temporary stop, if the decorative pattern is displayed in a variable pattern with the fluctuation pattern included in the pseudo-ream type, the decorative design is temporarily stopped. A re-variable display is performed in which the variable display is performed again later. In this case, if only execution of the pseudo-preliminary notice is selected, no chance item is displayed at the time of temporary stop.

  For this reason, without changing the pre-pseudo-notice (and without executing the post-pseudo-pre-notification), to the player who thought that it was not a fluctuating pattern, a decorative pattern is displayed again. It can give unexpectedness and improve the fun of the game. In addition, since the preliminary simulation prior to the first temporary stop may not be executed, even if the selected variation pattern has no pseudo-continuation, it is still replayed until the result of the variation display of the decorative symbol is finalized. It is possible to make the player expect that the variable display is performed, and to improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, regardless of whether the selected variation pattern type is pseudo-ream or pseudo-ream, the first time the (temporary) stop of the decorative symbol variation display is started, the variation of the decorative symbol again The player's interest is directed to whether or not the display is made, and the player's attention is increased throughout the series of variable display processes, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, the preliminary pseudo-notice has an earlier execution timing (for example, one that starts immediately after the decorative symbol variation display (or the start of variation display after temporary stop) starts) and the execution timing. Some of them are slow (for example, one that starts after a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of the decorative symbol display). For this reason, the range of the period during which the player pays attention to whether or not the prior pseudo notice is executed is widened, the player's attention is increased throughout the series of variable display processes, and the interest of the game can be improved. it can.

  Here, the selection ratio of the execution timing of the prior pseudo-notice differs depending on whether or not the variable display is performed again. For this reason, it is possible to make the player pay attention to the timing at which execution of the first pseudo notice is started. In addition, the player can be given an expectation that the re-variation display will be executed according to the difference in the execution timing of the prior pseudo-notice. The expectation that a jackpot, a promising promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot will also be able to hit the player.

  In addition, the selection ratio of the earlier pseudo-notice with the later execution timing is lower than the selection ratio of the earlier pseudo-notice with the earlier execution timing. As a result, when the preliminary simulation is not performed at an early timing, it is possible to give an unexpectedness to a player who can hardly expect that the re-variation display in the pseudo-continuation will continue. Moreover, the ratio at which the earlier pseudo-notice with the later execution timing is selected is somewhat higher when the re-variable display continues. For this reason, it is possible to give a player who has once lost his sense of expectation to a greater expectation than when the preliminary preliminary notice was given at an early timing, and to improve the interest of the game by the difference in the expectation it can.

  In addition, when winning the jackpot lottery based on winning to the start winning opening 14a, 14b, a jackpot type lottery that determines the type of the jackpot is performed, the jackpot type that can be determined here is a probability variation jackpot, In addition to the probabilistic promotion jackpot and hourly jackpot, there is a promising jackpot. Sudden big hit is a gaming state in which the game is shifted to the probability variation state by opening the big winning opening 21 slightly so that the player may not notice it, but sudden probability variation 1 and sudden probability variation 2 that can be selected at this time. The change pattern is the same as the change pattern of the normal change 1 and the normal change 2 that can be selected when there is no reach and no reach and no pseudo-ream, considering only the change display of the decorative pattern.

  Thus, when the result of the big hit type lottery is a sudden big hit, when the decorative pattern is displayed in a variation pattern of sudden probability variation 1 or sudden probability variation 2, a notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice is executed. Sometimes. If it is a notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice, the player usually considers this as a pre-predictive notice, and expects that the variable display will be displayed again after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. It will be. Of course, this notice effect is not the pre-pseudo notice, just the same form as the pre-pseudo notice, but the decorative design is stopped as it is and is shifted to the probability variation state. In this way, it is possible to give the player the unexpectedness that the player is expected to re-variate display with the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice, and is controlled to the probability variation state without being re-variable display, The interest of the game can be improved.

  The jackpot lottery is performed based on the winnings of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, but the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is not changed in any case. On the other hand, the selection ratio of the jackpot type in the jackpot type lottery when winning the jackpot lottery is such that the winning symbol of the start winning port 14a, that is, the special symbol display on the special symbol display 10a, or the winning symbol of the starting winning port 14b, It differs depending on whether the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display 10b. In particular, the probability of selecting a surprise jackpot as the type of jackpot is 1/10 when the special symbol display is performed on the special symbol display 10a, whereas the special symbol display on the special symbol display 10b is displayed. Is 2/10.

  That is, the ratio of the loss that can select the pseudo-variation variation pattern, the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the hourly jackpot (simply “big jackpot” in this paragraph) is displayed on the special symbol display 10a. The case differs from the case where the special symbol display 10b displays the variation of the special symbol. As a result, even when the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner with the same number of pseudo-reams, the probability of winning the jackpot is that the special symbol is changed on the special symbol display 10a and the special symbol on the special symbol display 10b. It differs from the case where it is displayed.

  For this reason, not only the decorative symbol variation display executed in the variable display device 9, but also the special symbol variation display is performed by any of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, that is, which of the start winning openings 14a and 14b. The player's interest can be gathered up to whether or not the variable display is performed based on the winning of the game, and the interest of the game can be further improved. In addition, it is possible to make the player pay attention to which of the start winning ports 14a and 14b the game ball has won and which of the special symbol displays 10a and 10b displays the variation of the special symbol.

  In addition, depending on the results of the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type lottery, the variation pattern of the special symbol and the decorative design will be selected, but when the variation pattern is selected when the result of the jackpot lottery is lost, The first type is determined to have no reach / reach, and the second type is determined to be no pseudo-ream, one pseudo-ream, two pseudo-reams, or three pseudo-reams. In addition, the type of detailed variation pattern is determined. On the other hand, the reach display mode always appears in the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the short-term jackpot, and the reach display mode does not always appear in the sudden jackpot, so there is no pseudo-ream, 1 pseudo-ream, 2 pseudo-reams, pseudo A detailed variation pattern type is determined after only three or four pseudo-sequences are determined.

  In this way, if it is a loss, a variation pattern is determined through a process of determining whether there is no reach as a first type and then determining a type such as no pseudo-ream, and if it is a big hit, determining a type such as no-ream as it is. By selecting, it is possible to easily distribute the probability of winning a jackpot among each variation pattern in which the reach display mode appears during development. In addition, since this distribution can be easily performed, it is possible to easily adjust the expectation level at which the reach display mode appears for each number of pseudo-reams, and the expectation degree that becomes a probability variation jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. become able to.

  Furthermore, the second type that is selected when “no reach” is selected as the first type in the case of losing includes not only a pseudo-ream but also a pseudo-ream 1 time, a pseudo-ream 2 times, and a pseudo-ream 3 times. . The maximum value as the number of pseudo-reams is 4 times. Even if it is a pseudo-ream, a pseudo-ream advance notice may not be performed. For this reason, even if all the decorative symbols stop (including temporary stop) without the reach display mode appearing, it can be expected that further variable display will be performed until the result is confirmed. It becomes like this.

  In addition, in the notice effect that is executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, in addition to the pseudo-continuous notice for notifying that the re-variable display of the decorative symbol is performed, until the decorative symbol variable display is completed. There is a reach notice effect for notifying that a reach display mode will appear. In the quasi-ream fluctuation pattern, the production A and the production B of the reach notice effects are in a period in which the prior notice is executed for each change display (the actual false notice may not actually be executed). To be executed.

  Here, there are types of reach notice effects, such as effect A, effect B, step-up effect 1, step-up effect 2, and step-up effect 3. The selection ratio of the reach notice effect is not only different according to the difference between K and L in the L-th variation display of the pseudo-continuous K times, but whether or not the reach display mode appears until the final stop of the decorative symbol Depending on. For this reason, the player can expect whether or not a reach display mode will appear according to the type of effect executed as the reach notice effect while the prior pseudo notice is being performed, and further enhances the interest of the game. Can be improved. Further, depending on the type of the effect executed as the reach notice effect, the player can expect whether the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot, or whether the re-change display is performed.

  Further, the step-up notice effect included in the reach notice effect has a higher expectation level (expected degree of probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot, or short-term jackpot) that the reach display mode appears as the stage of execution increases. Although it is a production, in the fluctuating display from the last temporary stop to the final stop of the decorative symbol in the pseudo-ream, regardless of whether or not the reach display mode appears here, it is completed only by the execution of the first stage. The step-up effect 1 is not executed.

  In other words, when the step-up effect has been executed and ended only in the first stage, the expectation that the reach display mode appears may be small, but the re-variable display in the pseudo-run may be executed. It is to be confirmed. As a result, even in the step-up effect up to the first stage where the expectation level of the reach display mode appears is small, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that the re-variable display will be executed, and the interest of the game is further enhanced. It can improve.

  In addition, the reach display mode may appear in the final variation display in any type of no pseudo-continuous, one pseudo-continuous, two pseudo-continuous, three pseudo-continuous, and four pseudo-continuous. The distribution ratios of the variation patterns having different reach display modes are different for each type. There is also a variation pattern that can be distributed only by a specific number of pseudo-reams, as is special. As described above, by distributing the number of pseudo-reams and distributing the variation pattern that causes the reach display mode to appear, various effects of the decorative symbol display can be varied, and the entertainment of the game can be improved. Furthermore, it is possible to give a player a sense of expectation according to the number of re-variable display executed until the reach display mode appears and the type of reach display mode that has appeared, thereby improving the interest of the game Can do.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

  In the above embodiment, the operation period when the normal reach display effect is executed after the reach display mode appears when the special variation pattern is selected by the type of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times. When the chance button 16 is operated by the player, the decorative pattern in the display is temporarily stopped in the display mode of losing, but the swinging effect is performed until the restart timing of the variable display, regardless of the operation timing of the chance button 16. All the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner again from the same timing. Here, the length of the period during which the shaking effect is executed changes depending on the timing at which the chance button 16 is operated.

  On the other hand, it is good also as what changes the fluctuation | variation aspect of the decorative design after the chance button 16 is operated by the difference in the timing at which the chance button 16 is operated in the operation period. FIG. 12 is a timing chart showing an execution example of the variation display of decorative symbols when a special of the pseudo-ream is selected in this modification. Also in this example, the case where the special of 3 times of pseudo | simulation continuations is selected is shown. Here, the period from timing t4 to t10 is the operation period of the chance button 16, but among these, the period from timing t4 to t7 is the operation period A and the period from timing t7 to t10 is the operation period B. .

  12A shows a case where the chance button 16 is operated at a relatively late timing of the operation period (within the range of the operation period B in the figure), and FIG. 12B shows a relatively early timing of the operation period. The case where the chance button 16 is operated in the range of the operation period A in the drawing is shown. When the chance button 16 is not operated in any period of A and B in the figure, the same as in the case of FIG. In any case, the process up to timing t3 is the same as that in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the chance button 16 is operated at the timing t8 in the operation period B, the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped in the display mode of the loss at this timing t8, and all decorative patterns are displayed. Is temporarily stopped. At timing t10 when a certain period (a period equivalent to the period between timings t9 and t10 in FIG. 11) has elapsed from timing t9 at which the decorative pattern inside is temporarily stopped, an effect such as the shaking effect in FIG. 11 is performed. Instead, all the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner again, and the fourth variable display is started from the start of the first variable display. It should be noted that the re-variation lamp 17 is lit in a predetermined manner during a period between timings t8 and t9 from when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped by the operation of the chance button 16 to when they are variably displayed again. It is notified that all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again.

  Thereafter, the left decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol are temporarily stopped until the timing t13 in the fourth variation display, and the reach display mode appears. From the timing t13 when the reach display mode appears, the reach display effect by Super B is started. Then, when the predetermined timing t14 as the variation time in the special variation pattern of the three pseudo-continuations is reached, the decorative pattern in the middle is also stopped again, and the variation display of the decorative symbol is displayed according to the results of the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type lottery. The result is derived to the variable display device 9.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the chance button 16 is operated at the timing t5 in the operation period A, the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped in the display mode of the loss at this timing t5. The decorative pattern is temporarily stopped. At timing t6 when a certain period (a period equivalent to the period between timings t9 and t10 in FIG. 11) has elapsed from timing t5 at which the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped, an effect such as a shaking effect in FIG. 11 is performed. Instead, all the decorative symbols are displayed in a variably display again, whereby the fourth variability display is started from the start of the first variability display. It should be noted that the re-variation lamp 17 is lit in a predetermined manner during the period between the timings t5 and t6 from when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped by the operation of the chance button 16 until the variation is displayed again. It is notified that all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again.

  In the example of FIG. 12 (b), unlike the example of FIG. 12 (a), all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the display mode of losing until the timing t11, and a certain period (the timing of FIG. 11) At a timing t12 when a period equivalent to the period between t9 and t10) has elapsed, all the decorative symbols are displayed again in a variable manner, and the fifth variation display is counted from the start of the first variation display. It will be started. In the period between timing t11 and t12 from when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped to when they are variably displayed again, the re-variable lamp 17 is lit in a predetermined manner, and all the decorative symbols are displayed. It is notified that the display is changed again.

  Thereafter, the left decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol are temporarily stopped until the timing t13 in the fifth variation display, and the reach display mode appears. From the timing t13 when the reach display mode appears, the reach display effect by the super B is started. Then, when the predetermined timing t14 as the variation time in the special variation pattern of the three pseudo-continuations is reached, the decorative pattern in the middle is also stopped again, and the variation display of the decorative symbol is displayed according to the results of the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type lottery. The result is derived to the variable display device 9.

  As can be seen from the above description, when the chance button 16 is operated at a relatively late timing in the operation period, the fourth variation display is performed, and when the chance button 16 is operated at a relatively early timing in the operation period, the fifth time is displayed. In the variable display, the reach display mode appears and the reach display effect by the super B is performed. The timing at which the reach display mode appears and the reach display effect by Super B is the same timing in any case, but the period from the start of the fourth variable display until the reach display mode appears. It can be seen that the difference in the number of re-variable displays is absorbed by adjusting the period from the start of the fifth variable display until the reach display mode appears.

  As described above, in this modified example, when a special variation pattern is selected in the type of pseudo-continuous 3 or 4 times, the normal reach display effect after the reach display mode appears is being executed. When the player operates the chance button 16 during the operation period, the special decorative display is performed in which all the symbols are variably displayed again after the decorative pattern in the inside is temporarily stopped and the display mode of the loss is displayed. Here, when the timing at which the chance button 16 is operated is a relatively late timing in the operation period, after all the symbols are variably displayed again (for example, the fourth time in the case of three pseudo-continuous specials). The reach display mode appears), and the reach display effect by the super B is performed.

  On the other hand, when the timing at which the chance button 16 is operated is a relatively early timing in the operation period, after all the symbols are variably displayed again (for example, the fourth time in the case of the special three consecutive times) After the temporary stop in the display mode of losing without appearance of the reach display mode (in the variable display), all the symbols are displayed again in a variable manner (for example, the fifth variation display in the case of a special three-time quasi-continuation) Is done). Then, the reach display mode appears in the subsequent variable display, and the reach display effect by the super B is performed.

  As described above, the operation timing of the chance button 16 is not necessarily constant in the operation period with a certain width, but the chance depends on whether the operation timing is a relatively early timing or a late timing in the operation period. After the button 16 is operated, the number of times that the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in a variable manner is changed, and the time for the variable display per time is also changed. In this way, since the variable display can be performed according to the remaining time from the operation timing of the chance button 16, it is possible to prevent the effect due to the variable display of the decorative symbols from being delayed and to give the player a sense of incongruity. Can be prevented.

  In addition, since the number of times of variable display and the time of variable display per time can be arbitrarily changed, the timing for deriving the final result can be easily managed. Further, if the chance button 16 is operated at an early timing in the operation period, the temporary stop of the decorative symbol and the second change display are repeated twice in the special re-change display, which is surprising to the player. It can give sex and can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In the modification shown in FIG. 12, the number of times of variable display after the operation of the chance button 16 is changed according to the operation timing of the chance button 16. It may be changed. In addition, the variable display that causes the reach display mode to appear when the chance button 16 is displayed multiple times is only the last variable display, but the reach display mode is also used in the previous variable display. It may be made to appear.

  In the above embodiment, the operation period when the normal reach display effect is executed after the reach display mode appears when the special variation pattern is selected by the type of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times. When the chance button 16 is not operated by the player, the specific effect is executed from a predetermined period before the end timing of the variable display. In this specific effect, after temporarily stopping the decorative pattern in the middle, the reach display mode of the left and right decorative patterns is left as it is, and only the central symbol is variably displayed again. In addition, in the special variation pattern in the type of the pseudo-ream 3 times without losing reach, the reach display mode other than “1” or “7” is not allowed to appear, and the jackpot pseudo-ream 3 times or 4 times. A specific effect is executed in a reach display mode other than “1” or “7” by making the selection ratio of the special variation pattern in the type sufficiently lower than the probability variation jackpot at the probability variation promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot It was supposed to be restricted.

  However, the specific effect that is executed when the chance button 16 is not operated by the player in the operation period in the special variation pattern in the type of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times is not limited to this. For example, all the identification information may be variably displayed again after temporarily stopping the decorative pattern inside. Alternatively, the left and right decorative symbols may be variably displayed again without temporarily stopping the central decorative symbol (in this case, all decorative symbols may be variably displayed). Then, the reach display mode may appear from the state in which all the decorative symbols are variably displayed in this way, and a reach display effect may be performed to derive a final result.

  In this case, it is only necessary to restrict the appearance of the reach display mode in at least a specific effect (the restriction here may be completely prohibited). The reach display mode that appears after the third re-variation display (in the third variation display) does not have to be limited to a decorative pattern other than “1” or “7”.

  In the above embodiment, the operation period when the normal reach display effect is executed after the reach display mode appears when the special variation pattern is selected by the type of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times. If the chance button 16 is not operated by the player, the normal reach display effect is continued as it is for a while, and then the specific effect is executed when a certain period before the end timing of the variable display. However, the variation display mode of the decorative pattern when the chance button 16 is not operated by the player during the operation period is not limited to this.

  For example, even when the chance button 16 is not operated by the player during the operation period, a special re-variable display is displayed in which all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped by the end of the operation period and then all the symbols are variably displayed again. It may be executed. Of course, the special re-variable display that is performed after the end timing of the operation period when the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period is a variation of the new decorative pattern when all the decorative patterns start to be displayed again. It is preferable that the display start is indistinguishable (or difficult to distinguish).

  FIG. 13 is a timing chart showing an example of execution of decorative symbol variation display when a special one of the pseudo-reams is selected in this modification. Also in this example, the case where the special of 3 times of pseudo | simulation continuations is selected is shown. In addition, here, when the display of all the decorative symbols is completely stopped and the display result is confirmed, the background image displayed on the variable display device 9 is once darkened, and constant when a new variable display is started. The background image is gradually brightened until the brightness becomes. On the other hand, even if all the decorative symbols are not variably displayed, the background image is not darkened only by being temporarily stopped, and variably displayed again with the same brightness.

  13A shows a case where the chance button 16 is operated at the timing of the end of the operation period, and FIG. 13B shows a case where the chance button 16 is not operated until the operation period ends. Show. As a comparative example, FIG. 13 (c) shows a case where there is a holding storage at the timing when the fluctuation display of two pseudo-continuations is finished, and a new fluctuation display is started immediately. It is assumed that there is no new game ball winning in the start winning holes 14a and 14b within the period shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, it is assumed that a new variation display is started at a timing t0 with a special variation pattern of three pseudo-continuations. At this time, the number of reserved memories decreases by one from N + 1 to N. In addition, since a new variable display is started, the background image displayed on the variable display device 9 is gradually brightened from a dark state. Thereafter, all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped for the third time at timing t1, and all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again at timing t2. Then, by the timing t3, the left decorative design and the right decorative design are temporarily stopped, the reach display mode appears, and the normal reach display effect is started. Up to this point, the operation of the chance button 16 is irrelevant.

  Next, a period between timings t4 and t5 is an operation period of the chance button 16 (in this period, for example, a screen that prompts the variable display device 9 to operate the chance button 16 may be displayed). In the example of 13 (a), it is assumed that the chance button 16 is operated at the timing t5 that is the end timing of the operation period. Here, when the chance button 16 is operated, the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped in the display mode of the loss at the timing t5, and all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped. At this time, since the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period, the background image is not dark but remains bright.

  When a certain period (a period equivalent to the period between timings t9 and t10 in FIG. 11) has elapsed from timing t5 at which the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped, all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again. It becomes. Here, since it is not the start of a new variable display, the number of reserved memories remains N and does not change. In addition, the background image of the variable display device 9 remains brightly displayed during the period from the timing t5 to t6 from the temporary stop of all the decorative symbols to the restart of the variable display. It should be noted that the re-variation lamp 17 is lit in a predetermined manner during the period between the timings t5 and t6 from when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped by the operation of the chance button 16 until the variation is displayed again. It is notified that all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again. Thereafter, by the timing t7, the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern are temporarily stopped, the reach display mode appears, and the reach display effect by the super B is started.

  On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 13B, it is assumed that the chance button 16 has not been operated until the timing t5 that is the end timing of the operation period. Here, since the operation period is ended, the decorative pattern in the middle is temporarily stopped in the display mode of losing at timing t5, and all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped. At this time, since the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period, the background image becomes dark.

  After that, at timing t6 when a certain period has elapsed from timing t5 at which the middle symbol is temporarily stopped, all decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner again. Then, the background image displayed on the variable display device 9 gradually becomes brighter from the dark state from the timing t6 when all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again. The re-variation lamp 17 is lit in a predetermined manner during the period between the timings t5 and t6 from when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped due to the end of the operation period to when they are variably displayed again. It is informed that all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again. However, since the re-variable lamp 17 is located away from the variable display device 9 and its lighting is inconspicuous, it is unlikely that a player who is concentrated on the display of the variable display device 9 will notice this. It is done.

  In addition, the start of the decorative symbol variation display at the timing t6 is only the variation display again from the temporary stop, and is not the start of a new variation display, so the number of reserved memories remains N. However, the displays on the special symbol indicators 11a and 11b are constantly changing, and it is almost impossible for the player to determine that the number of reserved memories does not change. Thereafter, by the timing t7, the left decorative pattern and the right decorative pattern are temporarily stopped, the reach display mode appears, and the reach display effect by the super B is started.

  In the example of FIG. 13C, it is assumed that a new variation display is started at a timing t0 with a normal variation pattern of two pseudo-continuations. At this time, the number of reserved memories decreases by one from N + 1 to N. In addition, since a new variable display is started, the background image displayed on the variable display device 9 is gradually brightened from a dark state. Thereafter, all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped for the third time at timing t1, and all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again at timing t2. Then, by the timing t3, the left decorative design and the right decorative design are temporarily stopped, the reach display mode appears, and the normal reach display effect is started.

  Then, the variation display of all the decorative symbols is stopped at the timing t5, and the result of the variation display started at the timing t0 is derived. When the result of the variable display is derived here, the background image displayed on the variable display device 9 becomes dark.

  After that, at time t6 when a certain period has elapsed from time t5, a new variable display is started. Then, the background image displayed on the variable display device 9 gradually becomes brighter from the dark state from the timing t6 when the new variable display is started. In addition, the start of the variation display of the decorative symbol at the timing t6 is the start of a new variation display, and the number of reserved memories decreases from N to N-1. However, the display of the special symbol hold memory indicators 11a and 11b is constantly changing, and it is almost impossible for the player to determine that the number of hold memories has changed.

  As described above, in the modification shown in FIG. 13, in the operation period after the reach display mode appears in the special variation pattern of 3 or 4 pseudo-continuations, and the normal reach display effect is started. Even when the button 16 is not operated, all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again after temporarily suspending all the decorative symbols in the display mode of losing with the end of the operation period. Then, after all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again, the reach display mode appears, and the reach display effect by Super B is executed.

  As a result, when the chance button 16 is operated during the operation period, the decorative design is temporarily stopped in the display mode of losing and then variably displayed again, and then the reach display mode is displayed again, so that the normal reach display effect is achieved. Even if a considerable amount of time is secured for deriving the final display result from the start, it is possible to prevent the effects due to the variation display of the decorative symbols from being delayed and to give the player a sense of incongruity. Can be prevented.

  In addition, the reach display mode appears in the 3rd or 4th variation display in the 3rd or 4th special variation pattern, respectively, and the normal reach display effect is executed, and the player's expectation is increased. Even if it is diluted, the reach display mode appears in the variable display restarted at the end of the operation period, so it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or short-time jackpot, Interest can be improved. Moreover, the reach display effect after the appearance of the reach display mode is executed by Super B, so that it is possible to further increase the player's sense of expectation for the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot. Can improve the interest of

  Furthermore, when the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the fluctuation mode of loss without operating the chance button 16 during the operation period, and all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again, the same as when a new variable display is started. The background image is displayed dark with the temporary stop of all the decorative symbols, and then gradually displayed brighter with the resumption of the variable display. Although there is no change in the number of reserved memories here, it is almost impossible to determine that the number of reserved memories has not changed from the display mode of the special symbol reserved memory indicators 11a and 11b. Although notification by the re-variation lamp 17 is performed, it is considered that the player is not likely to notice this.

  As a result, when the chance button 16 is not operated in the operation period in the special variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the variation mode of the loss, and all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again. In spite of the fact that it is actually a variation display within a series of variation patterns, a variation display of a new decorative design is started, and the game has an impression that a reach display mode appears in the new variation display. Can be given to a person. As a result, a reach display mode appears in the third or fourth variation display of the pseudo-ream, and it is surprising to a player who was disappointed that the display mode of the loss was displayed after the normal reach display effect was executed. It can give a sense of quality and a sense of expectation, and can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In the modified example shown in FIG. 13, in the special variation pattern of three or four pseudo-variations, the decoration button is temporarily stopped in the variation mode of the loss without operating the chance button 16 during the operation period, and all the decoration symbols are changed again. When displayed, the selection ratio of the reach notice effect until the reach display mode appears thereafter is similar to the select ratio of the reach notice effect in the variation pattern without pseudo-continuity (may be exactly the same) It is preferable to approximate the selection ratio of the reach notice effect in the first variation display in the pseudo-ream.

  In the case of a special variation pattern of three or four pseudo-continuations, when the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period and the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in a variation manner of loss and all the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner again, the background image The player is given the impression that it is a new variable display, but by selecting the reach notice effect in this way, the player has the impression that a new variable display has been started from the reach notice effect. And the unexpectedness felt by the player can be enhanced.

  In addition, when the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period in the special variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in a variation manner of loss, and all the decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner again. The reach notice effect that cannot be selected with the fluctuation pattern without pseudo-ream or the reach notice effect that cannot be selected in the first fluctuation display with pseudo-ream cannot be selected or difficult to select. Can do.

  In this case, when the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period in the special variation pattern of the pseudo-continuous 3 or 4 times, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the variation mode of loss, and all the decorative symbols are variably displayed again. The selection ratio of the reach notice effect is not the same as (or very close to) the select ratio of the reach notice effect in the fluctuation pattern without the pseudo-ream, or the reach notice effect in the first fluctuation display in the pseudo-ream. However, it is difficult to distinguish whether the change display is based on the fact that the chance button 16 has not been operated during the operation period due to the executed reach notice effect, or whether a new change display is started. It can be said that the selection ratio of the reach notice effect is approximate.

  In the embodiment described above, the special variation pattern is selected only when three or four pseudo-reams are selected as the variation display type. However, a special variation pattern may be selected even when the type of the pseudo-ream 1 or 2 times is selected. For example, in the special variation pattern of one pseudo-continuation, when the decorative symbol variation display is started, the reach display mode appears without all the ornamental symbols being temporarily stopped. A display effect is performed. Then, an operation period is provided for a predetermined period after the normal reach display effect is started. The variation pattern of the decorative pattern when the chance button 16 is operated or not during this operation period is the same as that in the above-described embodiment or the above-described various modifications.

  In the above embodiment, when the chance button 16 is operated in the operation period in the special variation pattern in the type of the pseudo-ream 3 or 4 times, all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped. The fact that the decorative pattern is displayed again and again is notified by turning on the re-variable lamp 17. However, this notification may be performed by other production means, for example, by outputting a predetermined sound from the speaker 27 (however, the output level is very small). Further, in the modification shown in FIG. 13, while the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped due to the end of the operation period without the chance button 16 being operated, all the decorative symbols are again displayed with the same background as when the new change starts. It can be changed or notified in the same manner.

  In the above embodiment, the special symbol reserved storage indicators 11a and 11b are each composed of 4 × 4 = 16 LEDs, and a plurality of types of lighting modes are assigned to one type of reserved storage number. . And even if there is no change in the number of reserved memories, by changing the lighting mode of the special symbol storage memory indicators 11a, 11b at regular intervals, the number of reserved memories by winning a game ball to the start winning opening 14a, 14b The increase or decrease in the number of reserved memories due to the start of a new variable display would be difficult to understand. However, the display of the number of reserved memories by winning the game balls at the start winning ports 14a and 14b is not limited to that performed in this manner. Except in the case of the modification shown in FIG. 13, the number of reserved memories may be clearly determined.

  The number of stored memories by winning a game ball in the start winning opening 14a, 14b may be one in which an image of one mark is displayed on the variable display device 9 for one reserved memory. When such a thing is applied in the modification shown in FIG. 13, there is an increase in the number of reserved memories due to the winning of game balls to the start winning ports 14a and 14b, and a decrease in the number of reserved memories due to the start of a new variable display. In this case, instead of switching the display immediately, the display may be switched while changing the transparency of the mark image over a certain period of time. In this case, even if the chance button 16 is not operated during the operation period in the special fluctuation pattern of the pseudo-continuous 3 or 4 times, even if the background similar to that at the start of the fluctuation is displayed, It is not possible to immediately determine whether or not the number has decreased. Since there may be a new start prize in a very short time after the start of a new variation display, when the chance button 16 is not operated in the operation period in a special variation pattern of three or four pseudo-reams The re-variable display becomes difficult to distinguish from the start of a new variable display.

  In the above embodiment, as the pseudo continuous notice to be executed, there is no pseudo continuous notice, the first pseudo notice is executed, the second pseudo notice is executed, or the selection probability of both the first pseudo notice and the second pseudo notice is selected as a probability variation jackpot. Depending on whether or not either the probable promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot has been determined. However, these selection probabilities may be different depending on whether or not a reach display mode appears. It may be different depending on the number of pseudo-reams (for example, the lower the number of pseudo-reams, the higher the probability of selection without pseudo-near notice, and the higher the number of pseudo-reams, Increase the probability of both selections).

  As described above, when the reach display mode does not appear, there is no possibility that the probability change jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot, but when the reach display mode appears, the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the short-time jackpot It can be a big hit. Therefore, depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears, if there is no pseudo-continuous notice, execute the pre-pseudo notice, execute the post-pseudo notice, or the selection probability of both the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice is different, As a result, depending on whether the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot has been determined, the pre-pseudo notice is executed, the post-pseudo notice is executed, or the selection probability of both the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice is different It becomes.

  In addition, as the number of pseudo-reams increases, the probability that the reach display mode appears is more likely to be a probability variation jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. Therefore, if there is no pseudo-continuous notice, execution of the pre-pseudo notice, execution of the post-pseudo notice, or the selection probabilities of both the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice differ depending on the number of pseudo-reams, as a result Reach indication mode, depending on whether big hit or short-term big hit is decided, execute pre-pseudo notice, execute post-pseudo notice, or select probability of both pre-pseudo notice and post-pseudo notice Depending on whether or not appears, the pre-pseudo notice is executed, the post-pseudo notice is executed, or the selection probability of both the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice is different.

  For this reason, there is no pseudo-continuous notice, execution of the pre-pseudo notice, execution of the post-pseudo notice, or the pre-pseudo notice and the post-pseudo notice according to whether the reach display mode appears or according to the number of pseudo-reams. Even when both the selection probabilities are made different, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the early pseudo-notification has an early execution timing and a late execution timing, but the ratio of selecting the early timing is higher. On the other hand, the ratio for selecting the later timing than the earlier timing may be higher. The ratio of selecting the earlier timing can be increased when the re-variable display is executed after that, compared with the case where the variable display is not executed again. In this case, since the preliminary simulation notice is executed in the first run before the player thinks that the preliminary simulation is not yet performed, the player can be surprised.

  In the above embodiment, when it is decided to execute the pre-pseudo advance notice, the form of the pre-pseudo notice is determined for each change display included in the change pattern of the pseudo-continuous. Is different depending on how many times the re-variable display is announced in advance, and differs depending on whether or not the re-variable display is subsequently executed. However, whether the probability change selection jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is decided, rather than changing the selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo-notification depending on whether or not the subsequent change display is executed Depending on whether or not, the selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo notice may be different. Further, the selection probability of the pre-pseudo-notice mode may be different depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol variation display is finally stopped.

  As described above, when either probability variation jackpot, probability change jackpot or hourly jackpot is determined, it is easier to select a type with a large number of pseudo-reams. The possibility that the variable display is executed is increased. Therefore, if the selection probability of the pre-prediction notice is different depending on whether the probability change jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly junior jackpot has been determined, as a result, a re-variable display is displayed after the pre-pseudo notice. Depending on whether or not the re-variable display is performed after the is performed, the selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo-notice is different.

  In addition, when the reach display mode appears, it becomes easier to select a type having a large number of pseudo-reams, so that it is more likely that a re-variable display will be executed after the prior pseudo-notice is given. The probability variation jackpot, probabilistic promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot will only be reached when the appears. Therefore, if the selection probability of the pre-prediction notice mode is different depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears, as a result, whether or not the re-variation display is performed after the re-variation display is performed after the pre-simulation notice Depending on whether or not the selection probability of the pre-pseudo-notice is different, the selection probability of the pre-pseudo-notice will be different depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined .

  For this reason, the selection probability of the mode of the prior pseudo-notice differs depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot is determined, or whether the reach display mode appears. Even in this case, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

  Similarly, the selection probability of the execution timing of the prior notice is also different depending on whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot has been determined, or the decorative symbol variation display. Depending on whether or not a reach display mode appears before the event is finally stopped. Also here, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  Further, when it is decided to execute the post-pseudo advance notice, the type of chance eye to be displayed for each change display included in the change pattern of the pseudo-continuous pattern is determined. The probability is different depending on whether or not the re-variable display is further executed after the decorative symbol is displayed again and again. However, the probability of selecting a chance is not different depending on whether or not a re-variable display is executed after that, but whether or not one of probability variation jackpots, probable change jackpots or short-term jackpots has been determined. Accordingly, the selection probability of chances may be different. Further, the selection probability of the chance eye may be made different depending on whether or not the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol variation display is finally stopped. Also here, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above-described embodiment, the post-pseudo advance notice is executed by setting the display mode when all the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped as a chance. However, the post-pseudo-notice may be executed as long as the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the pseudo-ream, and may not necessarily be executed by taking the appearance of the decorative symbol as a chance. . For example, when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped, the pseudo-preliminary notice may be executed by causing the variable display device 9 to display an image of a predetermined character superimposed on the front side of the decorative symbol image. it can.

  As there were multiple types of chance eyes, there may be multiple types of images of this character, whether re-change display is executed, reach display mode appears, probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, Alternatively, it is possible to select the type of character image to be displayed as the post-pseudo advance notice at a different selection ratio depending on whether it is determined that the time bonus is determined. Thereby, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation according to the type of character image displayed in the post-pseudo advance notice.

  In addition, with regard to the post-pseudo advance notice that is executed in a manner different from the appearance of the decorative design in this way, at least a part of the execution period is included in the period in which the decorative design is temporarily stopped, and the execution timing is early (For example, the character image starts to be displayed at the same time or immediately before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped) and slow (for example, the character image is displayed after the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and then displayed again. Display start) can be prepared.

  As for the selection probability of the execution timing of the post-pseudo-notification with the early timing and the late timing as described above, whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot is determined as in the case of the preceding pseudo-notice. Depending on whether the reach display mode appears before the decorative symbol display is finally stopped, or depending on whether or not the re-display is performed. Can be different. In this case as well, the same effect as that caused by the difference in the execution timing of the preceding pseudo-notice can be produced.

  In the embodiment described above, the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice is executed in the case of a sudden hit. On the other hand, the chance eye A or the chance eye B that is derived at the time of temporary stop of the decorative symbol may be derived by the post-pseudo-notice as the manner of stopping the decorative symbol in the case of a big hit. The selection ratio between the chance item A and the chance item B in the case of the big hit may be different from the selection ratio when the chance item A and the chance item B are selected in the pseudo-preliminary notice. The notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo notice and the derivation of the chance eye may be used in combination. As described above, by deriving the chance as the stop mode in the case of a sudden hit, the same effect as that in the case of executing the notice effect in the same manner as the previous pseudo-notice in the case of a sudden hit is obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the chance eye A and the chance eye B are the appearances that appear only when the decorative pattern is temporarily stopped when the variation pattern of 1 to 4 pseudo-continuations is selected. . Of course, even when the decorative design is stopped with a variation pattern without pseudo-continuations, chance eyes A and chance eyes B may appear very rarely. Even when the decorative symbol is finally stopped with the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 1 to 3, the chance eyes A and the chance eyes B may appear very rarely. The chance eyes that can appear even in the final stop may be only one of the chance eyes A and the chance eyes B.

  Note that, for example, it is assumed that the chance eye A or the chance eye B can appear even when the decorative symbol is stopped with a variation pattern without pseudo-ream (the decorative symbol is displayed with a variation pattern of 1 to 3 pseudo-reams). The appearance of the chance eye A or the chance eye B when it is finally stopped is not considered). In this case, the product of the selection probability of the variation pattern without pseudo-ream and the probability of selection of chance item A or chance item B is the selection probability of the first to fourth pseudo-reams and the post-pseudo advance notice (used together with the previous pseudo notice) It is preferable that the value be smaller than about one-tenth of the product of the execution probability and the execution probability.

  In this way, even when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped in the variation pattern of the pseudo-ream 1 to 4, the chance can appear and the player can be surprised. In addition, by this, even when a chance appears in the fluctuation pattern of the quasi-continuous 1 to 4 times, it does not mean execution of absolute re-variation display, so re-variation display is executed. The player's interest in whether or not

  In the above-described embodiment, the pseudo continuous notice is a variation pattern determined on the main board 31 side as well as the previous pseudo notice that is executed by the rendering means different from the variable display device 9 such as the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26. The post-prediction that is executed by deriving chance chances when the decorative symbols are temporarily stopped in the decorative display of the displayed decorative symbols is determined on the display control board 80 side.

  On the other hand, the post-pseudo advance notice for displaying the chance eye as the display mode at the time of temporarily stopping the decorative pattern may be determined on the main board 31 side. Here, a variation pattern included in the type of pseudo-ream 1 time, pseudo-ream 2 times, pseudo-ream 3 times or pseudo-ream 4 times, the pattern and chance eyes are displayed when the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped. (For example, the variation pattern included in the type of pseudo-repetition per round of probability fluctuation is per normal (no chance), per normal (chance), per Super A (no chance) It is also possible to determine whether to perform the pseudo-preliminary notice by selecting the variation pattern per super A (chance), per super B (no chance), per super B (chance).

  Here, there is no chance for the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the display result of the decorative pattern is lost (lost or sudden big hit) without displaying the chance chance, and the big hit (probability variation jackpot, probability variation jackpot or short-term jackpot) The ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern that is a) is different from the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern that is a big hit when the chance item is displayed and the selection probability of the variation pattern that is lost Can do.

  Alternatively, the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the chance display is not displayed but the chance display is displayed but the chance display is not displayed, but the reach display is displayed, but the chance display is performed It may be different from the ratio of the selection probabilities of the variation pattern in which the reach probability is displayed with respect to the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the mode does not appear and the reach display mode appears.

  Further, the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed M times and the chance eye is displayed to the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed only M times and the chance eye is not displayed is N What is the ratio of the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed N times and the chance eyes are displayed to the selection probability of the variation pattern in which the re-variation display is executed only times (N> M) and the chance eyes are not displayed? Can be different.

  In this way, even if it is determined by selecting the variation pattern whether or not the chance eye is displayed as a post-pseudo advance notice, the variation pattern type may be one pseudo sequence, two pseudo sequences, three pseudo sequences, or pseudo By making the selection probability of each variation pattern as described above when the type of the four consecutive times is selected, the same effect as in the case of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the reach notice effect in the pseudo-ream is displayed on each time of fluctuation display (from the first fluctuation start to the first temporary stop, from the temporary stop to the next temporary stop, from the last temporary stop to the final stop). However, which reach notice effect is to be executed is determined separately for each variable display. On the other hand, it is also possible to select a pattern that determines a combination of reach notice effects at each time of the variable display at a time when the decorative symbol variable display is started.

  For example, if the pattern of “effect B-effect A-step-up effect 2” is selected at the start of the two-time variation display, the effect B is displayed in the period from the change start to the first temporary stop. Production A is executed in the period from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop, and step-up production 2 is executed in the period from the second temporary stop to the final stop. From the viewpoint of the player, the production B is individually determined for the period from the fluctuation start to the first temporary stop, and the production A is individually determined for the period from the first temporary stop to the second temporary stop. And it will not be different from the case where the step-up effect 2 is determined individually for the period from the second temporary stop to the final stop.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been described as an example. However, the present invention is based on the pachinko gaming machine in that a state advantageous to the player is generated according to the result of the game. It can also be applied to a slot machine which is a game machine similar to the above. However, in the slot machine, the big winning lottery is performed by winning the start winning openings 14a and 14b as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the winning is not controlled to the big winning gaming state, but at the start of one game. Even if the bonus is won in the internal lottery performed in, the game state is not directly controlled to be advantageous to the player, which is called a bonus.

  In the slot machine, when the bonus winning flag is set according to the result of the internal lottery, the bonus symbol is derived to the variable display device based on the player's stop operation, so that a game called a bonus is advantageous to the player It is controlled by the state. An effect similar to that for notifying the jackpot in the special game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above can be applied to the effect for notifying the bonus winning.

  Next, a slot machine to which the present invention is applied will be described. FIG. 14 is a front view showing the overall configuration of the slot machine according to this modification. In the slot machine 501 of FIG. 14, a variable display device 502 including three reels 503L, 503C, and 503R is provided at a substantially central position on the front side. On the outer periphery of the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R, a plurality of 21 types of symbols that can be distinguished from each other are drawn in a predetermined order. The variable display device 502 has a total of five pay lines in two directions, ie, the upper, middle, lower, and diagonal lines.

  On the lower side of the variable display device 502 and on the upper front side of the slot machine 501, a liquid crystal display 504 is provided as a rendering means. Speakers 507 are provided as rendering means on the lower front side of the slot machine 501 and on the left and right sides of the upper front side. Further, on the front side of the slot machine 501, a game effect that produces an effect by light by light emission of a game effect lamp 575 (see FIG. 15) as an effect means so as to surround the variable display device 2 and the liquid crystal display 4. A display unit 505 is provided. In the variable display device 502, a reel lamp 503LP (see FIG. 15) that irradiates light from the back surface to each of the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R is provided.

  On the horizontal surface of the trapezoidal portion provided below the variable display device 502, the number of bets (1, 3 respectively) from the medal insertion slot 513 through which the player inserts medals and credits accumulated as data are displayed. A single BET button 514 and a MAXBET button 515 operated by the player at the time of setting, and a settlement button 516 for instructing the payout of medals already set as the bet number or medals corresponding to the accumulated credits Is provided. On the lower front side of the slot machine 501, there are a medal payout port 571 for discharging medals paid out by the hopper 580 (see FIG. 15) and a medal storage tray 572 for storing the paid out medals. Is provided.

  In addition, a start lever 511 and stop buttons 512L, 512C, and 512R are provided on the vertical surface of the above-mentioned trapezoidal portion. The start lever 511 is operated by the player when starting the game, and when the operation is detected, the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R start to rotate. The stop buttons 512L, 512C, and 512R are buttons that the player operates to stop the rotation of the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R at a desired timing, respectively, and when the operation is detected, the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R The rotation is stopped.

  The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop buttons 512L, 512C, 512R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 503L, 503C, 503R is 190 milliseconds. The reels 503L, 503C, and 503R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 x 21 (number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum number of symbols in 190 milliseconds is 4 frames. Can be pulled in.

  The winning combination in the slot machine 502 is roughly divided into a small combination, a replay combination (replay), and a special combination (bonus). For example, there are two types of special combinations, a big bonus (1) and a big bonus (2). These have a role in which overshooting occurs depending on the operation procedure of the stop buttons 512L, 512C, and 512R (a concept that includes both the operation timing and the operation order). Regardless of the operation procedure of the stop buttons 512L, 512C, and 512R, the replay is a role that will not be missed when winning. Each small role may be a missing role or a non-missing role.

  FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control circuit of the slot machine 501 in FIG. As shown, the control circuit of the slot machine 501 includes a power supply board 600, a game control board 601, an effect control board 602, a reel relay board 603, a reel lamp relay board 604, an external output board 605, an effect relay board 606, and The operation unit relay board 607 is roughly divided into the configurations.

  The power supply board 600 transforms an external power supply voltage of AC 100V, and supplies operating power to each part of the game control board 601 and other slot machines 501. The power supply board 600 sets a winning probability for an internal lottery described later, and a setting switch 591 and a setting switch for changing a setting value (setting 1 to setting 6) of a virtual medal payout rate calculated based on the probability. A setting key switch 592 for enabling operation of 591, a second reset switch 593 for resetting the internal state (RAM 612), and a main switch 594 for switching on / off the power supply are also connected to each other, and detection of these switches is performed. A signal is sent to the game control board 601. These switches 591 to 594 are provided inside the slot machine 501.

  The game control board 601 is a main control board that controls the overall flow of the game in the slot machine 501, and includes a control unit 610 including a CPU 611, a RAM 612, a ROM 613, and an I / O port 614. It is installed. Further, a random number generation circuit 615, a sampling circuit 616, and other circuits are mounted.

  The CPU 611 has an interrupt function (including an interrupt disable function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, and executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 613 to perform processing related to the progress of the game, and in the slot machine 501 Control each part of the control circuit directly or indirectly. The RAM 612 is used as a work area when the CPU 611 executes a program. The ROM 613 stores programs executed by the CPU 611 and fixed data. The I / O port 614 inputs and outputs control signals to and from each circuit connected to the game control board 601.

  The random number generation circuit 615 includes a counter that counts up and updates the value every time a pulse is generated, and the sampling circuit 616 acquires a numerical value counted by the random number generation circuit 615. The random number generation circuit 615 is provided for each type of random number used for the progress of the game, and a range of numerical values to be counted for each type of random number is determined. When the start lever 511 is operated and one game is started, the CPU 611 sends an instruction to the sampling circuit 616 to acquire the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit 615 as a random number for internal lottery.

  The CPU 611 sequentially adds the number of determination values determined for each combination according to the gaming state to the acquired random number for internal lottery. When the addition result overflows, the winning combination corresponding to the number of determination values overflowed is won, and the winning flag of the winning combination is set in the RAM 612. The winning flags for the small role and the replay are erased only for the game, but the winning flags for the big bonus (1) and the big bonus (2), which are special roles, are carried over until winning. When winning the big bonus (1) or the big bonus (2), the winning flag is erased and the big bonus medium flag is set in the RAM 612, and the gaming state is kept until the total number of medals paid out reaches a predetermined number. Controlled by a big bonus.

  The CPU 611 transmits various commands to the effect control board 602 via the I / O port 614. The command transmitted to the effect control board 602 is transmitted at the start of one game (when the start lever 511 is operated), transmitted at the end of one game, and a winning status notification command indicating the setting status of the winning flag, Includes a game state command indicating a game state applied in the next game and a BET command transmitted when a bet number for starting a new game is set between the end and start of one game. It is. Information (command) is sent from the game control board 601 to the effect control board 602 only in one direction, and no information (command) is sent from the effect control board 602 to the game control board 601.

  The game control board 601 is connected with a single BET switch 545, a MAXBET switch 546, a start switch 541, stop switches 542L, 542C, 542R, a checkout switch 547, and an insertion medal sensor 544 via an operation unit relay board 607. The detection signals of these switches / sensors are input. In addition, detection signals of the reel sensors 503SL, 503SC, and 503SR are input via the reel relay substrate 603.

  The game control board 601 is connected to reel motors 503ML, 503MC, and 503MR via a reel relay board 603. The CPU 611 controls the reel motors 503ML, 503MC, and 503MR via the reel relay board 603 with reference to the stop control table selected according to the winning flag set in the RAM 612 by the internal lottery, and the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R. Stop. An effect control board 602 is further connected to the game control board 601 via an effect relay board 606.

  The effect relay board 606 is a board provided to ensure one-way information transmitted from the game control board 601 to the effect control board 602. The effect control board 602 is a sub-side control board that controls the execution of effects in the slot machine 501, and includes a control unit 620 including a one-chip microcomputer including a CPU 621, a RAM 622, a ROM 623, and an I / O port 624. Yes. Further, the random number generation circuit 625 and the sampling circuit 626 are mounted, and the CPU 621 has a unique random number generation function by acquiring the value counted by the random number generation circuit 625 by the sampling circuit 626.

  The CPU 621 executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 623 to perform processing related to the execution of the effect, and controls each circuit in the effect control board 602 and each circuit connected thereto. The RAM 622 is used as a work area when the CPU 621 executes a program. The RAM 622 and the ROM 623 store programs executed by the CPU 621 and fixed data. The I / O port 624 inputs and outputs control signals with each circuit connected to the effect control board 602. The execution of the performance by the CPU 621 is performed based on a command received from the game control board 601 via the I / O port 624.

  A game effect lamp 575, a liquid crystal display 504, and a speaker 507 are connected to the effect control board 602. Further, a reel lamp 503LP is connected via a reel lamp relay substrate 604. The control unit 620 of the effect control board 602 performs these effects by controlling these parts. The reel relay board 603 relays between the game control board 601, the external output board 605, and the reel unit 503 constituting the variable display device 502. The reel lamp relay board 604 relays between the effect control board 602 and the reel unit 503.

  The external output board 605 is connected to an external device such as a hall management computer via an information providing terminal board to be described later, and various bonus medium signals input from the game control board 601 via the reel relay board 603, The medal IN signal, the medal OUT signal, and the security signal are output to the external device.

  Next, application of the present invention in the slot machine 501 will be described. Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the effect design is variably displayed on the liquid crystal display 505 in the same manner as the decorative design is variably displayed on the variable display device 9, and the bonus winning notification effect ( It is assumed that the big bonus (1) or the big bonus (2) is won).

  One game in the slot machine 501 is started when the start lever 511 for instructing the rotation of the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R is operated, and all the rotations of the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R are stopped and variably displayed. The process ends when a display result is derived to the device 502. The gaming state indicated by the gaming state command transmitted at the end of one game is stored in the RAM 622, but the winning status notification command transmitted at the start of one game is stopped when this indicates that it is not in a big bonus. If it is shown that the winning combination (for example, replay) is not won according to the operation procedure of the buttons 512L, 512C, 512R, the bonus winning notification effect is executed by the CPU 621.

  The bonus winning notification effect is determined according to the selected variation pattern, and is not finished until all the stop buttons 512L, 512C, and 512R are operated and the display result is derived to the variable display device 502. There is. When medals are paid out due to a small role winning, there are cases where the medals are not finished even if the medals are paid out. When a transition is made to the next game, there may be a case where a new bonus winning notification effect is executed in the middle of execution of the bonus winning notification effect. When notified by the BET command, the bonus winning notification effect in the middle of execution is forcibly terminated, and the display symbol of the display mode that was finally shown in the bonus winning notification effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 504. It will be a thing.

  Further, when winning the big bonus (1) or the big bonus (2), the bonus winning notification effect is meaningless. Therefore, when a gaming state command is received during the bonus winning notification effect, the game If the status command indicates that it is a big bonus (in other words, it means that a big bonus (1) or a big bonus (2) was won in the game ended here), the bonus winning notification effect during execution is forced. Be terminated. In this case, the liquid crystal display 504 does not display the effect of the display mode that was finally shown in the bonus winning notification effect.

  When the winning situation notification command is received at the start of one game and the bonus winning notification effect is to be executed at this time, the CPU 621 follows the winning situation indicated by the received winning situation notification command (big bonus (1 ) And Big Bonus (2) are not won, the Big Bonus (1) or Big Bonus (2) will be won corresponding to the case where the result of the special symbol change display in the above decision is lost. In this case, it corresponds to the case where the result of the special symbol variation display in the above embodiment is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot), and the CPU 621 determines the type of bonus winning notification effect and the variation pattern To decide.

  And when the type of pseudo-continuous 1, pseudo-continuous 2, pseudo-trivial 3 or pseudo-continuous 4 is selected (except when special variation pattern is selected in pseudo-continuous 3 or 4) The CPU 621 executes the pseudo-continuous notice to be executed according to the table of FIG. 6A (no pseudo-continuous notice, executes the post-pseudo notice, executes the pre-pseudo notice, and executes both the post-pseudo notice and the pre-pseudo notice) To decide.

  Further, the CPU 621 determines the mode of the prior pseudo-notice in accordance with the table of FIG. 6B for each variation display included in the pseudo-continuous variation pattern (provided that the execution of the prior pseudo-notice or execution of both is selected). ), A chance to be displayed in the post-pseudo advance notice is determined according to the table of FIG. 6C (provided that execution of the post-pseudo notice or execution of both is selected), and the mode of the reach notice effect according to the table of FIG. decide.

  In accordance with these determinations, the CPU 621 displays the effect symbol on the liquid crystal display 504, and executes the first pseudo notice, the second pseudo notice, and / or the reach notice effect while the effect symbol is variably displayed. Through these preliminary pseudo-notice, post-pseudo notice and / or reach notice effect, the player eventually becomes a big hit, a reach display mode appears (often a big win), a re-variable display in the pseudo-ream Can be expected to be repeated (in many cases, it will be a big hit), and the interest of the game can be improved.

  In addition, when a special variation pattern of the pseudo 3 or 4 times is selected, a reach display mode appears after the second or third re-variation display (in the third or fourth variation display). An operation period is provided after the normal reach display effect is started. It is determined whether or not the start lever 11 has been operated during this operation period, and when the start lever 11 is operated, after the variable display is temporarily stopped in the display mode of losing, all symbols are displayed in a variable manner again. A display mode appears and a reach display effect of super reach is performed.

  When the start lever 11 is not operated during the operation period, the final display result is derived after the specific effect is executed as in the case of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the above embodiment. Alternatively, as with the pachinko gaming machine of the modified example, the symbol is temporarily stopped after the end of the operation period, and not the background symbol in the case of re-changing the symbol temporarily stopped in the normal pseudo-ream, but a new symbol As the same background symbol as when the variable display starts, the variable display of the symbol may be started again.

  Then, when the big win is shown by the result of the variation display of the effect symbols, the winning of the big bonus (1) or the big bonus (2) is confirmed, so that the player follows the stop button 512L, 512C, 512R. Is operated to win the big bonus (1) or the big bonus (2), and the game state can be shifted to the big bonus to play the game.

  In this slot machine 501, as an operation means operated to change the effect contents with the special variation pattern of the quasi-continuous three times and four times, instead of the chance button 16, a start lever 511 (bonus winning notification effect) Is not used for the original purpose of starting one game by starting the rotation of the reels 503L, 503C, and 503R constituting the variable display device 502.

  In addition, in the slot machine 501, the re-variation display is started for the third time and the fourth time by the player's operation in the special variation pattern of the third time and the fourth time of the pseudo-continuous notice in the slot machine 501. As production means for notifying that, instead of the decoration lamps 25a to 25c and the accessory 26, the speaker 507, the game effect lamp 575, the reel lamp 503LP (however, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R stop rotating). Can be used to execute a pre-simulation advance notice). In the above-described embodiment, the number of times the re-variable display that has been notified according to the difference between the decorative lamps 25a to 25c that are lit is performed, for example, according to the difference in sound output from the speaker 507. It can be informed.

  If the big bonus (1) or big bonus (2) is won, the result of the bonus winning notification effect is not necessarily a big hit, but the big bonus (1) or big bonus (2) is won. Alternatively, the bonus winning notification effect may be lost at a predetermined rate. For example, in accordance with the received winning situation notification command, it is determined whether the result of the bonus winning notification effect is a loss or a big win (if the big bonus (1) and the big bonus (2) are not won) If it is determined that the big bonus (1) or the big bonus (2) has been won, the winning ratio may be determined at a certain rate (for example, 80%) and the remaining percentage is determined).
