In the present embodiment, as a result of the second special symbol success / failure determination, “16R sixth big hit”, “16 seventh big hit”, “12R eighth big hit”, “6R ninth big hit”, “2R 10 big hit”, “ Seven types of big hits, “16R 11th big hit” and “2R 12th big hit” are provided (see FIG. 8), and the LED of the second special symbol display 41b corresponds to each of the two types of big hits. It is possible to adopt a display mode (specific mode, specific display result). Specifically, when the result of the second special symbol success / failure determination is 16R sixth big hit, the three LEDs “abd” are turned on and the rest are turned off (16R sixth big hit symbol). If 7 big hits, 3 LEDs of “abg” are turned on and the rest are turned off (16R seventh big hit symbol), and if 12R 8 big hits, 3 LEDs of “abc” Is turned on to turn off the rest (12R eighth big hit symbol), and when it becomes 6R ninth big hit, three LEDs “afg” are turned on and the rest are turned off (6R ninth big hit symbol), When the 2R 10th big hit is reached, the 4 LEDs of “abde” are turned on and the rest are turned off (2R 10th big hit symbol), and when the 16R 11th big hit is reached, the 3 pieces of “abe” Turn on the LED and turn off the rest (1 R 11 jackpot symbol), by lighting four LED of "abdh" when became 2R twelfth jackpot turns off the remaining (2R 12th jackpot symbol). In addition, when it comes off, the two “eh” LEDs are turned on, and the rest are turned off (outage symbol).

  In addition, the stop display mode (stop symbol) of the special symbol is not limited to these, and can be arbitrarily set. Further, before the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the special symbol variation display is performed over a predetermined variation time. The variation display mode is, for example, that light repeatedly flows from left to right in a predetermined order. In this manner, each LED can be turned on.

  Here, the special symbol display unit 41 (first special symbol display 41a, second special symbol display 41b) displays special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) as identification information. The image display device 7 displays an effect symbol as identification information. For this reason, the special symbol display unit 41 (the first special symbol display device 41a and the second special symbol display device 41b) and the image display device 7 may be referred to as “identification information display means”.

  In this pachinko gaming machine 1, when a game ball enters the first start port 20 or the second start port 21, various information such as a special symbol success / failure random number (“acquired information”) The acquired various information is temporarily stored in a special figure storage unit (not shown) formed in the RAM of the main control unit. Specifically, if the ball enters the first starting port 20, it is stored in the first special diagram storage unit (not shown) as the first special diagram reservation, and if the ball enters the second starting port 21. The second special figure reservation is stored in a second special figure storage unit (not shown). The number of special figure reservations (acquired information) that can be stored in each special figure storage unit is limited to a predetermined number, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is “4”. The first special figure storage unit and the second special figure storage unit are also referred to as “first acquisition information storage unit” and “second acquisition information storage unit”, respectively, and are also collectively referred to as “acquisition information storage unit”.

  The special figure hold stored in the special figure hold storage unit is digested when the special symbol based on the special figure hold can be displayed. The digestion of the special symbol hold means that the special symbol determination random number or the like corresponding to the special symbol hold is determined, and the special symbol variable display for indicating the determination result is executed. Therefore, in this pachinko gaming machine 1, when the change display of the special symbol based on the entrance of the game ball into the first start port 20 or the second start port 21 cannot be executed immediately at the time of the entrance, that is, the change of the special symbol Even when the display is being executed or the special game is being executed, it is possible to reserve the right to determine whether or not the special symbol is appropriate for the entered ball, up to a predetermined number.

  The number of special figure hold stored in the special figure hold storage unit is displayed on the first special figure hold indicator 43a and the second special figure hold indicator 43b. Specifically, the first special figure hold indicator 43a is composed of two “uv” LEDs, and the first special figure is controlled by controlling the display of the LEDs according to the number of the first special figure hold. The number of holds is displayed. For example, when the number of holds is “0”, the display mode is such that both LEDs are turned off, such as “u □ v □” (for example, □: unlit, ●: red lit, ▲: green lit). When “1” is “1”, the display mode is such that “u” LED is turned off and “v” LED is lit in red, such as “u □ v ●”. “u” LED is turned on in red, and “v” LED is turned off. When the number of hold is “3”, both LEDs are turned on as “u ● v ●”. The display mode is lit in red, and when the number of reservations is “4 (upper limit number)”, both LEDs can be lit in green as “u ▲ v ▲”.

  The second special figure hold indicator 43b is composed of two LEDs “wx”, and the number of second special figure hold is controlled by controlling the display of the LEDs according to the number of second special figure hold. Is displayed. For example, when the number of holds is “0”, the display mode is such that both LEDs are turned off, such as “w □ x □” (for example, □: unlit, ●: red lit, ▲: green lit). “1” to “4” are also determined in the same manner as the first special figure hold indicator 43a.

  The normal symbol variation display is triggered by the passage of the game ball to the gate 28. In the normal symbol display 42, the normal symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time, and then the stop symbol is displayed. The result of the normal symbol success / failure determination based on the passing of the game ball to the gate 28 is displayed based on the stopped normal symbol (stop symbol). Inform. The normal symbol that is stopped and displayed is one normal symbol that is selected from a plurality of types of normal symbols based on the normal symbol determination. If the stopped normal symbol is a predetermined specific symbol (a normal symbol), an auxiliary game is performed in which the second start port 21 is opened in an opening pattern corresponding to the current gaming state. The opening pattern of the second start port 21 will be described later.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the normal symbol display 42 is composed of two “st” LEDs, and displays a normal symbol corresponding to the result of the normal symbol success / failure determination according to the lighting mode. It is. For example, if the determination result is a win, the normal symbol that is turned on when both LEDs are lit is stopped and displayed, such as “s t” (for example, ■: lighted, □: lighted off). If the determination result is out of place, an out-of-order normal symbol is displayed in a state where only the “t” LED is lit, such as “s □ t ■”. Note that the off-normal symbol is not a specific normal symbol. Before the normal symbol is stopped and displayed, the normal symbol variation display is executed for a predetermined variation time. The variation display mode is, for example, a mode in which both LEDs are alternately turned on and off. is there.

  In this pachinko gaming machine 1, when a game ball passes to the gate 28, various information (also referred to as "acquired information") such as a random number for determining whether or not a normal symbol is obtained based on the passage, and the acquired various information Is temporarily stored as a general map reservation in a general map storage unit (not shown) formed in the RAM of the main control unit. The number of general map holds that can be stored in the general map storage unit is limited to a predetermined number, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is “4”. The general map reservation stored in the general map storage unit is digested when the change display of the normal symbol based on the general map storage becomes possible. The digestion of the general symbol hold means that the normal symbol validity determination random number corresponding to the general symbol hold is determined, and the normal symbol variation display for indicating the determination result is executed. Therefore, in this pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variation display of the normal symbol based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 28 cannot be immediately executed, that is, the variation display of the normal symbol is being executed or the auxiliary game is being executed. Even in such a case, it is possible to reserve the right to determine whether or not the normal symbol is appropriate for the passage, with a predetermined number as the upper limit.

  The number of the general map reservation stored in the general map storage unit is displayed on the general map storage display 44. Specifically, the general map hold indicator 44 is composed of two “qr” LEDs, and displays the number of general map holds by turning on the LED according to the number of general map holds. is there. For example, when the number of holdings is “0”, the display mode is such that both LEDs are turned off, such as “q □ r □” (for example, □: off, ●: red on, ▲: green on). When “1” is “1”, a display mode in which the “q” LED is turned off and the “r” LED is turned on in red, such as “q □ r ●”. Further, the number of holdings “2” to “4” is determined in the same manner as the first special figure holding display 43a.

Therefore, when the player performs a predetermined input operation on the first effect button 63a or the second effect button 63b, a signal from the corresponding effect button detection switch is input to the sub-control board 90. The first effect button detection switch 63c and the second effect button detection switch 63d are collectively referred to simply as “effect button detection switch”.

  Next, the control (acquisition information determination means) relating to the determination of success / failure in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, there are “big hit” and “off” as a result of the special symbol success / failure determination. In the case of “big hit”, the “big hit symbol” is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 41, and in the case of “out”, the “off symbol” is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display unit 41. If it is determined that the special symbol is determined to be a big hit, the big winning opening (the first big winning port 30 or the second big winning port 35) is opened with an open pattern corresponding to the type of special symbol that has been stopped (hit type). A “special game” to be released is executed. A special game executed as a big hit is called a "hit game".

  There are a plurality of types of jackpots in this embodiment. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, “16R (round) first big hit”, “6R second to fifth big hit”, “16R sixth big hit”, “16R seventh big hit”, “12R” There are a total of 12 types: 8th big hit, 6R 9th big hit, 2R 10th big hit, 16R 11th big hit, and 2R 12th big hit. Among these jackpots, “16R first jackpot” and “6R second to fifth jackpots” which are jackpots related to the first special symbol, and “16R sixth jackpot” which are jackpots related to the second special symbol and “ The “16R 11th big hit” is a big hit related to the big hit game using the first big winning opening 30 (lower attacker). Specifically, “16R 1st big hit”, “16R 6th big hit”, and “16R 11th big hit” all have the number of times of opening (number of rounds) of the first big prize opening 30 being 16 times, and the opening time. Is a big hit of 25 seconds per opening (one round). In addition, “6R 2nd to 5th big hits” is a big hit of 25 seconds per open (one round) when the first big winning opening 30 is opened 6 times (number of rounds). It is. The round is also simply referred to as “R” or “round game”.

  On the other hand, “16R 7 big hits”, “12R 8 big hits”, “6R 9 big hits”, “2R 10 big hits” and “2R 12 big hits”, which are big hits related to the second special symbol, This is a jackpot related to the jackpot game using the winning opening 35 (upper attacker). Specifically, in “16R 7 big hits”, “12R 8 big hits” and “6R 9 big hits”, the number of times (number of rounds) of opening the second big prize opening 35 is 16, 12, and 6, respectively. In any case, the opening time is a big hit of 25 seconds per opening (one round). In addition, in both “2R 10th big hit” and “2R 12th big hit”, the number of times of opening (number of rounds) of the second big prize opening 35 is 2 times and the time of opening is 1 time (1 round). It is a big hit of 0.1 seconds. The special symbol display unit 41 stops and displays the jackpot symbols corresponding to these jackpot types.

  Note that 16R 1 big hit, 16R 6 big hit, 16R 7 big hit and 16R 11 big hit are also referred to as "16R big hit", and 6R 2nd to 5th big hit and 6R 9 big hit are collectively "6R It is also called “big hit”, and the 2R 10th big hit and the 2R 12th big hit are also collectively called “2R big hit”. Further, the 12R eighth big hit is also simply referred to as “12R big hit”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is shifted to a high probability state, a short time state, a high base state, etc., which will be described later, according to the type of the big hit that has been won (winning). That is, the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is a big hit, and the types of the big hits are the aforementioned 16R first big hit, 6R second big hit, 16R sixth big hit, 16R seventh big hit, 12R eighth big hit, 6R ninth big hit and 2R. If any of the ten big hits is reached, the gaming state after the big hit game is set to a “high probability state, short time state, and high base state” described later. On the other hand, if the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is a big hit and the type of the big hit is any of the aforementioned 6R third to fifth big hits, 16R 11th big hit, and 2R 12th big hit, the big hit game The game state after the end is referred to as a “low probability state, short time state, and high base state” described later. From this, 16R 1 big hit, 6R 2 big hit, 16R 6 big hit, 16R 7 big hit, 12R 8 big hit, 6R 9 big hit, 2R 10 big hit can be regarded as “probable big hit”. The third to fifth jackpots, the 16R eleventh jackpot, and the 2R twelfth jackpot can be regarded as “non-probable big hits” (ordinary big hit, short-time big hit). The 2R big hit (2R 10th big hit, 2R 12th big hit) is a big hit that opens (opens and closes momentarily) the second big winning opening 35 in 0.1 second per round as described above. There is a low possibility that a game ball will enter the second large winning opening 35 that is opened in a short time, and therefore there is a low possibility that a winning ball based on the entering into the second large winning opening 35 can be obtained. Such a 2R big hit is also called a so-called “no-hit big hit”. Of these, the 2R 10th big hit is also called a “probable big hit without a turn”, and the 2R 12th big hit is “normal without a ball (short time)” It is also called “big hit”.

  Also, in this embodiment, among the big hits that open the second big winning opening 35 (upper attacker), for the 16R seventh big hit, the 12R eighth big hit, and the 6R ninth big hit, the occurrence of the big hit and the start of the big hit game At this time, it is difficult for the player to know which number of rounds the big hit game will be played. That is, for these jackpots, the exact number of rounds of the jackpot game to be played is determined (determined) through the stop display mode of the effect symbol 8 displayed on the image display device 7 (display screen 7a) and other effects. It is difficult. For this reason, these jackpots are focused on whether or not the round will continue at the timing of reaching the end of the 6th round or 12th round (round branch) while digesting the round in a situation where it is unknown how long the round will last. It has become a game. Such a big hit is a so-called “ramp up bonus”, and hereinafter, this big hit may be referred to as “RUB”.

  When the first special symbol (Special Figure 1) is a big hit, the distribution probability to each big hit is 5% for 16R first big hit, 55% for 6R second big hit, and 6R third big hit. 5%, 6R 4th big hit is 15%, 6R 5th big hit is 20%. On the other hand, the distribution probability to each big hit is 35% for 16R sixth big hit, 16R seventh big hit, 12R 8th when the second special symbol (special figure 2) is a big hit in the determination of success or failure. The big hit and the 6R 9th big hit are 8% (that is, RUB is 24%), the 2R 10th big hit is 1%, the 16R 11th big hit is 20%, and the 2R 12th big hit is 20%. In other words, when a hit / decision based on the entrance to the second starting port 21 made easy by entering an open extension function (occurrence of a high base state), which will be described later, is a big hit due to the entrance / exit determination (special figure 2 success / failure determination). Is higher in the appearance rate (distribution probability) for 16R big hit than in the case where the big hit is determined by the hit determination (special figure 1 hit determination) based on entering the first starting port 20. Thus, in this pachinko gaming machine 1, a game ball is placed at the second start port 21 rather than a big hit in a win / loss determination (special figure 1 hit / no-go determination) performed when a game ball enters the first start port 20. It is set so that the possibility of being a big hit in the hit / no-go judgment (special figure 2 hit / no-go judgment) performed after entering the ball is likely to be advantageous to the player. For this reason, the player plays a game in anticipation of entering the second start port 21. This is particularly noticeable during the operation of the opening extension function in which the frequency of entering the second starting port 21 is increased.

  Here, in this pachinko machine 1, the determination of whether or not the big hit is made based on the “random symbol for determining whether or not to win special symbol” (also referred to as “information for determining whether or not to win”). Is determined on the basis of “a jackpot type determining random number (also referred to as“ symbol determining random number ”or“ symbol determining information ”). As shown in FIG. 7A, the special symbol success / failure determination random number takes a value in the range of “0 to 629”, and the big hit type determination random number takes a value in the range of “0 to 99”. The random numbers (acquired information) acquired based on the balls entering the first starting port 20 and the second starting port 21 include “variation pattern random number” in addition to the special symbol success / failure determination random number and the jackpot type determining random number. (Also referred to as “variation pattern information”).

  The variation pattern random number is a random number for determining a variation pattern including a variation time, and takes a value in a range of “0 to 198”. In addition, the random numbers acquired based on the passage through the gate 28 include the normal symbol success / failure determination random numbers shown in FIG. The random number for normal symbol success / failure determination is a random number for determining whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the second start port 21 (normal symbol lottery), and takes a value in the range of “0 to 240”.

  Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 1 has a plurality of gaming states depending on the combination of the probability variation function, the variation time shortening function, and the open extension function for the special symbol and the normal symbol in an activated state or a non-activated state. For the special symbols (the first special symbol and the second special symbol), the state in which the probability variation function is activated is called “high probability state” or “probability variation state”, and the state in which the probability variation function is not activated is “low probability state” or “ “Normal state”. In the high probability state, the probability of being determined to be a big hit in the special symbol success / failure determination is higher than in the normal state. In other words, in the normal state, the success / failure determination is performed using the normal state jackpot determination table, but in the high probability state, the high probability state jackpot determination table having a large number of special symbol success / failure determination random numbers. To determine whether or not it is correct (see FIG. 8A). In other words, when the probability variation function of the special symbol is activated, the probability that the result of the special symbol variation display becomes a big hit (the stop symbol becomes a big hit symbol) is higher than when the special symbol probability variation function is not activated.

  In addition, a state in which the variable time reduction function is activated for the special symbols (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is referred to as a “short-time state”, and a state in which the function is not activated is referred to as a “non-short-time state”. In the short time state, the average value of the variation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the variation display to the time of the fixed display) is shorter than the average value of the variation time of the special symbol in the non-short time state. That is, in the short-time state, the variation pattern is determined using a variation pattern table that is determined so that a variation pattern with a short variation time is selected more than in the non-time-short state (see FIG. 9). . As a result, in the short-time state, the digestion of the special figure hold is accelerated, and effective entry into the starting port (entrance that can be stored as special figure hold) is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit with smooth progress of the game.

  The probability variation function and the variation time shortening function for the special symbols (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) may be activated simultaneously, or only one of them may be activated. The probability variation function and the variation time shortening function for the normal symbol are operated in synchronization with the special symbol variation time shortening function. That is, the probability variation function and variation time shortening function of the normal symbol operate in the short time state of the special symbol, and do not operate in the non-short time state. For this reason, in the time reduction state, the hit probability in the normal symbol success / failure determination is higher than that in the non-time reduction state. Specifically, in the short-time state, the normal symbol random number determination table (normal random number) that is determined to be a hit is larger than the normal symbol-based determination table used in the non-time-short state, and the normal symbol per unit determination table ( Normal symbol determination) is performed (see FIG. 8C).

  In the short time state, the normal symbol fluctuation time is shorter than in the non-short time state. In this embodiment, the variation time of the normal symbol is 30 seconds in the non-short-time state, but is 1 second in the short-time state (see FIG. 8D). Furthermore, in the time-saving state, the opening time extension function of the variable winning device 22 (second starting port 21) is activated, and the opening time of the second starting port 21 in the auxiliary game is longer than that in the non-time-saving state. In addition, in the short-time state, the opening number increasing function of the variable winning device 22 is activated, and the number of times the second start port 21 is opened in the auxiliary game is larger than that in the non-short-time state. Specifically, when the result of the normal symbol success / failure determination is successful in the non-time-short state, the movable member 23 of the variable winning device 22 (second start port 21) performs the opening operation for 0.2 seconds once, and the time-short state When the result of normal symbol win / fail determination is successful, the movable member 23 of the variable winning device 22 (second starting port 21) performs the opening operation for 2.0 seconds three times.

  In the situation where the probability variation function and the variation time shortening function for the normal symbol, and the opening time extension function and the opening number increase function of the variable winning device 22 are activated, compared to the case where these functions are not activated. Thus, the second start port 21 is frequently opened, and the frequency of entering the game ball into the second start port 21 is increased (also referred to as “high frequency state”). As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot balls, becomes high. Therefore, a state in which these functions are activated is referred to as a “high base state”, and a state in which these functions are not activated is referred to as a “low base state”. In the high base state, it is possible to aim for a big hit without greatly reducing the hand-held game balls (held balls).

  In the high base state (high frequency state), all the above functions may not operate. That is, when the function is not activated by the activation of at least one of the probability variation function and the variation time shortening function for the normal symbol, and the opening time extending function and the opening number increasing function of the variable winning device 22. However, it is sufficient that the second start port 21 is easily opened (the frequency of entering the ball is high). Further, the high base state may be independently controlled without accompanying the time-short state of the special symbol. Such a function for generating a high base state can also be referred to as a “high base generation function” (high frequency state generation means).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment, as described above, the 16R first big hit, the 6R second big hit, the 16R sixth big hit, the 16R seventh big hit, the 12R eighth big hit, the 6R ninth big hit, and the 2R 10 big hit. The game state after the big hit game (after the special game) in any case becomes a high probability state of the special symbol, a short time state of the special symbol, and a high base state (see FIG. 6). This gaming state is particularly referred to as a “highly accurate base state”. The high-accuracy base state is terminated when a predetermined number of special symbol fluctuation displays are executed or when a big hit game is executed. This highly accurate and high base state is a state that is clear to the player that it is a high probability state, and is a so-called “probability changed state” for the player.

  In addition, the game state after the big hit game (after special game) when any of the 6R third to fifth big hits, 16R 11th big hit, and 2R 12th big hit is the normal state (low probability state) of the special symbol At the same time, the short state and the high base state of the special symbol are obtained (see FIG. 6). This gaming state is particularly referred to as a “low probability and high base state”. The low-accuracy base state ends when a special symbol variation display is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) or when a big hit is won and the big hit game is executed.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, three gaming states of “low accuracy low base state”, “low accuracy high base state”, and “high accuracy high base state” can be set as the gaming state. In addition to this, a high probability state of a special symbol, a non-time-short state and a low base state of the special symbol, that is, a “highly accurate low base state” may be settable.

  In a high base state such as a high-accuracy high-base state or a low-accuracy high-base state, it is possible to advance the game more advantageously if the game ball is advanced to the right game area 3B by hitting right. In the high base state, it is easier to open the second start port 21 than in the low base state, and it is easier to enter the second start port 21 than to enter the first start port 20. Because. For this reason, a right-hand strike is made to allow the game ball to enter the second starting port 21 while passing the game ball through the gate 28 which is a trigger for determining whether or not the normal symbol is appropriate. This makes it possible to obtain a larger number of starting balls (opportunities for determining whether or not a special symbol is present) as compared with a case where left-handed is performed. In this state, the firing direction indicator 47 is controlled to be lit in a predetermined manner, and notifies that the game ball should be launched aiming at the right game area 3B (right-handed instruction notification).

  On the other hand, in the low base state (for example, the low probability low base state), it is possible to advance the game more advantageously by making the game ball enter the left game area 3A by left-handed. In the low base state, the second start port 21 is less likely to be opened than in the high base state, and entering the first start port 20 is easier than entering the second start port 21. Because. Therefore, a left turn is made to enter the game ball into the first start port 20. This makes it possible to obtain a larger number of starting balls (opportunities for determining whether or not a special symbol is present) as compared with the case of making a right strike. In this state, the firing direction indicator 47 is turned on (display controlled) in a predetermined manner to notify that the game ball should be launched aiming at the left game area 3A (left-handed instruction notification).

  Here, the firing direction indicator 47 is composed of two “yz” LEDs, and indicates the firing direction by lighting the LEDs according to the gaming state. For example, in the low base state, it is possible to notify that it should be fired to the left game area as a display mode in which both LEDs are turned off, such as “y □ z □” (for example, □: off, ■: on). it can. Further, in the high base state, it is possible to notify that the right game area should be fired as a display mode in which both LEDs are lit, such as “y ■ z ■” (for example, □: off, ■: on). it can.

[Main control main processing]
Next, the operation of the game control microcomputer 81 (control processing by the main control unit 80) will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the counter, flag, status, buffer, and the like that appear in the description of the operation of the game control microcomputer 81 are provided in the RAM of the main control board 80. When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, the game control microcomputer 81 provided on the main control board 80 reads and executes the main control main process program shown in FIG. 10 from the ROM of the main control board 80. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, initial setting is performed (S101). In the initial setting, for example, stack setting, constant setting, interrupt time setting, CPU setting of the main control board 80, SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time controller) setting, various flags, status and counter Perform a reset. The initial value of the flag is “0”, that is, “OFF”, the initial value of the status is “1”, and the initial value of the counter is “0”. The initial setting (S101) is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

  Subsequent to the initial setting (S101), interrupts are prohibited (S102), and normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing (S103) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the value of the various random number counters shown in FIG. When the value of each random number counter reaches the upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. The updated random number counter value is sequentially stored in a predetermined update value storage area (not shown) of the RAM of the main control board 80.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103) is completed, the interruption is permitted (S104). While the interrupt is permitted, the interrupt process (S105) can be executed. This interrupt process (S105) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the CPU of the main control board 80, for example, at a cycle of 4 ms. Then, after the interrupt process (S105) is finished and before the next interrupt process (S105) is started, the update process of various counter values by the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103) is repeated. Executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the CPU in the interrupt disabled state, the interrupt process (S105) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S104).

[Interrupt processing]
Next, the interrupt process (S105) will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, in the interrupt process (S105), first, an output process (S201) is executed. In the output process (S201), commands (control signals) set in the output buffer provided in the RAM of the main control board 80 in each process described below are output to the sub-control board 90, the payout control board 110, etc. To do. The command and the like output here include information regarding the gaming state, special symbol success / failure determination, symbol as a jackpot type, variation pattern, and the like. The command is composed of, for example, 2-byte information. The upper 1 byte is information regarding the type of command, and the lower 1 byte is information regarding the content of the command.

  In the input process (S202) performed subsequent to the output process (S201), various sensors (a first start port sensor 20a, a second start port sensor 21a, a first big prize port sensor) mainly attached to the pachinko gaming machine 1 are used. The detection signal detected by 30a, the second big prize opening sensor 35a, etc. (see FIG. 5) is read and stored in the RAM output buffer as prize ball information. Further, a detection signal from a lower plate full detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the fullness of the lower plate 62 is also taken in and stored in the output buffer of the RAM as lower plate full data.

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S203) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103) performed in the main control main process of FIG. That is, the update processing of various random number counter values (including normal symbol random number counter values) shown in FIG. 7 includes the execution period of the timer interrupt process (S105) and the other period (after the end of the interrupt process (S105), The period until the next interrupt process (S105) is started).

  Following normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing (S203), starting port sensor detection processing (S204), starting ball entering processing (S205), general drawing motion processing (S206), special symbol motion processing (S207) Then, the reserved ball number processing (S208) and the power-off monitoring processing (S209) are executed. Thereafter, other processing (S210) not closely related to the present invention is executed, and the interrupt processing (S105) is terminated. Then, until the next interrupt pulse is input to the CPU of the main control board 80, the processes of S102 to S104 of the main control main process are repeatedly executed (see FIG. 10), and when the interrupt pulse is input (about 4 ms). After), the interrupt process (S105) is executed again. In the output process (S201) of the interrupt process (S105) executed again, the command set in the RAM output buffer in the previous interrupt process (S105) is output.

[Starting port sensor detection processing]
As shown in FIG. 12, in the start port sensor detection process (S204), first, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate 28, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the gate sensor 28a (S301). ). If the game ball has not passed through the gate 28 (NO in S301), the process proceeds to S305, and if the game ball has passed through the gate 28 (YES in S301), the number of normal symbol reserve balls (normal figure hold) (Specifically, the value of a counter that counts the number of pending reservations provided in the RAM) is less than 4 (S302).

  If the number of normal symbol reserved balls is not less than 4 (NO in S302), the process proceeds to S305. On the other hand, if the number of normal symbol reserved balls is less than 4 (YES in S302), “1” is added to the number of normal symbol reserved balls (S303), and the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S304) is performed. In the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S304), the value (label -TRND-H, Fig. 7 (B)) of the random symbol counter for determining whether or not the symbol is normal is stored in the update value storage area (not shown) of the RAM. Then, the obtained random number value (acquired information) is stored in an address space corresponding to the current number of normal symbol reserved balls in the general symbol reserved storage unit provided in the RAM of the main control board 80.

  In S305, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the second start port 21, that is, whether or not a game ball has been detected by the second start port sensor 21a (S305). If a game ball has not entered the second start port 21 (NO in S305), the process proceeds to S309, and if a game ball has entered the second start port 21 (YES in S305). The special figure 2 reserved ball count (the number of the second special figure hold, specifically, the numerical value of the counter for counting the number of the second special figure hold provided in the RAM of the main control unit 80) is less than 4 (upper limit number). It is determined whether or not (S306). If the special figure 2 reserved ball number is not less than 4 (NO in S306), the process proceeds to S309. If the special figure 2 reserved ball number is less than 4 (YES in S306), the special figure 1 is added to the number of 2 reserved balls (S307).

  Subsequently, special figure 2 related random number acquisition processing (S308) is performed. In the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (S308), the value of the random number counter for special symbol determination (label-TRND-A) stored in the update value storage area (not shown) of the RAM, the random number for determining the big hit type The counter value (label-TRND-AS) and the fluctuation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) are acquired (that is, the random number value shown in FIG. 7A is acquired), and the acquired random value (acquired) Information) is stored in the address space corresponding to the current number of reserved special figure 2 balls in the second special figure reservation storage unit 85b.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the first start port 20, that is, whether or not a game ball has been detected by the first start port sensor 20a (S309). If no game ball has entered the first start port 20 (NO in S309), the process ends. If a game ball has entered the first start port 20 (YES in S309), a special figure is displayed. Whether the number of one reserved ball (the number of the first special figure hold, specifically, the value of the counter for counting the number of the first special figure hold provided in the RAM of the main control unit 80) is less than 4 (upper limit number) It is determined whether or not (S310). If the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is not less than 4 (NO in S310), the process is terminated. If the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1 is less than 4 (YES in S310), the special figure 1 is held. “1” is added to the number of balls (S311).

  Subsequently, special figure 1 related random number acquisition processing (S312) is performed. In the special figure 1 related random number acquisition process (S312), as in the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (S308), the value of the special symbol success / failure determination counter stored in the update value storage area (not shown) of the RAM. (Label-TRND-A), the value of the jackpot type determination random number counter (Label-TRND-AS), and the value of the fluctuation pattern random number counter (Label-TRND-T1) are obtained (that is, the disturbance shown in FIG. 7A). A numerical value is acquired), and these acquired random number values are stored in an address space corresponding to the current number of reserved figure 1 reserved balls in the first figure reserved storage unit.

[Processing at start-up]
As shown in FIG. 11, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a start ball entry process (S205) following the start port sensor detection process (S204). As shown in FIG. 13, in the starting ball entry process (S205), it is first determined whether or not the number of special figure 2 reserved balls has increased by "1" (S315). If it is determined that the number of special figure 2 reserved balls has increased by “1” (YES in S315), the process proceeds to S316. This corresponds to the case where “1” is added to the number of reserved figure 2 reserved balls in S307 in the start port sensor detection process (S204) based on the game ball entering the second start port. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of special figure 2 reserved balls has not increased (NO in S315), the process proceeds to S319.

  In S316, the latest acquired random number value (acquired information) acquired in the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (S308) in the immediately preceding start sensor detection process (S204) and stored in the second special figure reservation storage unit is read ( S316). Next, the acquired random number value related to the read second special symbol is determined (S317). In S317, the value of the random number counter for special symbol success / failure determination (the random number for special symbol success / failure determination) among the acquired random number values read out is a big hit according to the current gaming state (low probability state or high probability state) If the result of the determination is a big hit, the type of the big hit is further determined. In this determination by S317, a pre-determination is performed prior to the success / failure determination (S1303, S1304) in the special figure 2 determination / determination process (S1202) described later for determining whether or not the second special figure is on hold (determination of whether or not it is a big hit). (So-called “hold prefetch”).

  It should be noted that the prior determination as to whether or not the jackpot is a jackpot determination table (see FIG. 8A), that is, a jackpot determination table for a high probability state if it is a high probability state, a normal state (low probability state). For example, it is possible to determine whether or not it matches the jackpot determination value based on the jackpot determination table for the normal state. In addition, as another prior determination mode, as a variation pattern information determination table capable of determining variation pattern information, a variation pattern information determination table for a normal state (for a low probability state) and a high probability state (for a high probability state) And a variation pattern information determination table. In advance determination, predetermined variation pattern information is selected based on an acquired random number value (a value of a random symbol counter for special symbol success / failure determination and the like) and a variation pattern information determination table corresponding to the gaming state. Is possible. Then, from the selected variation pattern information, it is possible to identify whether it is a big hit, a big hit type, a game effect with a high big hit reliability, or the like.

  Next, in S318, game information (preliminary determination information) related to the determination result in S317, specifically, information indicating whether or not the random number value for determining whether or not the special symbol matches with the jackpot determination value (whether or not information), Command data including information indicating the value of the jackpot type determination random number counter (random number value for jackpot type determination), information indicating the value of the fluctuation pattern random number counter (fluctuation pattern random number value), etc., is used as a special figure 2 starting pitching command. The command is generated and set in the output buffer of the RAM (S318). In addition, as a special figure 2 start entering command, a part or all of the special figure 2 acquisition random number value read in S316 may be transmitted to the sub control board as it is, or the special figure 2 acquisition random number value may be transmitted. The game information acquired based on the value of the special figure 2 acquisition random number (for example, the above-described variation pattern information) may be transmitted without transmitting as it is.

  In addition, the sub-control unit 90 analyzes whether or not the special figure 2 start entry command transmitted from the main control unit 80 is information related to the big hit, which type of jackpot type, etc. Can be identified. In addition, in the present embodiment, in addition to this, by analyzing the special figure 2 start entering command, whether or not the obtained special figure 2 acquisition random number becomes a big hit when judged in a high probability state, and low probability It is possible to specify whether or not it will be a big hit when judged by the state. Thereby, the sub-control unit 90 stores the received special figure 2 start ball entering command as a hold (effect hold information), pre-determines the effect hold information at a specific timing, and determines whether or not it is a low probability state. It is possible to determine whether or not production hold information determined to be a big hit is stored.

  For the purpose of preventing fraud, the random number value for determining whether or not the special symbol is determined is not directly transmitted to the sub-control unit among the acquired random number values read out in S316, and the value of the random number counter for determining the other big hit type (big hit value) The command data including the information indicating the type determination random number) and the variation pattern random number counter value (variation pattern random value) and the information indicating the result of the preliminary determination is generated as a special figure 2 start entry command. It is possible to set.

  Next, in S319, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls in the special figure 1 has increased by “1” as in the process related to the special figure 2 described above (S319). If it is determined that the number of special figure 1 reserved balls has increased by “1” (YES in S319), the process proceeds to S320. This corresponds to the case where “1” is added to the number of special figure 1 reserved balls in S311 in the start port sensor detection process (S204) based on the game ball entering the first start port. On the other hand, if it is determined in S319 that the special figure 1 number of reserved balls has not increased (NO in S319), the process is terminated as it is.

  In S320, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (S320). When it is determined that the time reduction flag is ON, that is, in the high base state (YES in S320), the processing ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S320 that the time reduction flag is OFF, that is, it is in the low base state (NO in S320), the process proceeds to the pre-determination process after S321. Here, when the time reduction flag is ON, that is, when the current gaming state is a high base state, the opening extension function that increases the frequency of entering the second start port 21 is activated, and whether or not the special figure 2 is successful or not. The determination (see FIG. 8B) is easily performed. Further, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, the digestion of the second special figure reservation (variation display of the second special symbol) is executed in preference to the digestion of the first special figure reservation (variation display of the first special symbol). (So-called special figure 2 priority change machine) In such a configuration, for example, when the preliminary determination of FIG. 1 is performed and the result is notified to the player by an effect such as a notice, it is clearly indicated that the result of the preliminary determination is a big hit. Using the priority digest of the second special figure hold, the second special figure hold is intentionally eliminated (set to “0”) at an arbitrary timing, and the result of the prior determination is shown in FIG. Technical interventions such as intentionally generating big hits are possible. It is not preferable from the viewpoint of game fairness that the player can adjust the occurrence timing of the big hit in this way. For this reason, when the current gaming state is not the low base state but the high base state (YES in S320), the process is terminated without performing the process related to the prior determination in FIG. .

  The processing of S321 to S323 is the same processing as that of S316 to S318 described above with reference to FIG. That is, the latest acquired random number value (acquired information) acquired in the special figure 1 related random number acquisition process (S312) in the start port sensor detection process (S204) and stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit is read (S321), A prior determination is made for the read acquired random number value (S322). Then, command data including game information related to this pre-determination is generated as a special FIG. 1 start entering command, and the command is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S323). The prior determination (holding prefetching) in S322 is performed prior to the determination (S1603, S1604) in the special figure 1 determination process (S1207) described later.

[Usuzu movement process]
The game control microcomputer 81 performs a normal operation process (S206) shown in FIG. 14 after the start and entry process (S205). In the normal drawing operation process (S206), the processing related to the normal symbol display 42 and the variable winning device 22 is divided into four stages, and "normal figure operation status 1, 2, 3, 4" is assigned to each of these stages. . If the “normal operation status” is “1” (YES in S401), the normal symbol standby process (S402) is performed, and if the “normal operation status” is “2” (S401) NO at S403, YES at S403), normal symbol variation processing (S404) is performed, and when the “normal figure movement status” is “3” (both NO at S401 and S403, YES at S405), the normal symbol is fixed The process (S406) is performed, and when the “normal operation status” is “4” (NO in all of S401, S403, and S405), the ordinary electric accessory process (S407) is performed. The normal operation status is “1” by default.

[Normal symbol standby processing]
As shown in FIG. 15, in the normal symbol standby process (S402), first, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol is “0” (S501), and if it is “0” (YES in S501). ) And finish this process. On the other hand, if it is not “0” (NO in S501), a normal symbol success / failure determination process described later is performed (S502), and then a normal symbol variation pattern selection process is performed (S503). In the normal symbol variation pattern selection process, with reference to the ordinary symbol variation pattern selection table shown in FIG. 8 (D), if the gaming state is a short-time state, the ordinary symbol variation pattern with a 1 second variation time is selected. To do. On the other hand, if the gaming state is a non-time-short state, the normal symbol variation pattern with the normal symbol variation time of 30 seconds is selected. When the normal symbol variation pattern selection processing (S503) is completed, a normal symbol random number shift processing (S504) described later is performed, then a normal symbol variation start processing (S505) is performed, and the processing ends. In the normal symbol variation start process, the normal symbol variation display is started based on the normal symbol variation pattern selected in S503, and the normal operation status is set to “2”. In the normal symbol variation start process, a normal symbol variation start command is set in order to notify the sub control board 90 of the start of variation of the normal symbol.

[Normal symbol success / failure determination processing]
As shown in FIG. 16, in the normal symbol success / failure determination process (S502), first, the value (label -TRND-H) of the normal symbol success / failure determination random number counter stored in the general symbol hold storage unit is read (S601). . Next, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (that is, whether or not the gaming state is a time reduction state) (S602). If it is determined in S602 that the time reduction flag is ON, that is, it is in the time reduction state (YES in S602), the table for the time reduction state (the hit determination value is “0” in the normal symbol hit determination table shown in FIG. 8C). 0 ”to“ 239 ”), it is determined whether or not the winning is based on the high-probability normal figure determination (S604), and the process proceeds to S605. That is, it is determined whether or not the value of the read random number counter for normal symbol appropriateness determination (label-TRND-H) matches any of the hit determination values. On the other hand, if it is determined in S602 that the time reduction flag is not ON, that is, it is in the non-time reduction state (NO in S602), the table for the non-time reduction state in the normal symbol determination table shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is a hit based on the low-probability normal-winning determination based on the determination values “0” and “1”) (S603), and the process proceeds to S605. Then, in S605, it is determined whether or not the result of the normal map win / fail determination (S603, S604) is a hit (per normal map) (S605), and if it is determined to be out (NO in S605), the display is stopped. A normal symbol (unusual symbol) is determined (S606), and the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined to be a hit (per normal map) in S605 (YES in S605), a hit normal symbol (symbol per base symbol) to be stopped is determined (S607), and the per-general symbol flag is turned ON (S608). ) Finish the process.

[Normal design random number shift processing]
As shown in FIG. 17, in the normal symbol random number shift process (S504), first, the normal symbol holding ball number is decremented by 1 (S701). Next, the storage location of each general map hold in the general map storage unit is shifted by one to the side read from the current position (S702). Then, the address space, which is the storage location of the highest-order reserved storage in the ordinary figure storage area, is emptied (“0”), that is, the RAM area corresponding to the fourth ordinary figure storage area is cleared to 0 (S703). ) Finish the process. In this way, ordinary map suspension is digested in order of suspension.

[Normal symbol change processing]
As shown in FIG. 18, in the normal symbol changing process (S404), first, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol change time has passed (S801), and if it has not passed (NO in S801), the process ends. . On the other hand, if it has elapsed (YES in S801), the normal symbol fluctuation stop command is set (S802) and the normal symbol operation status is set to “3” (S803). Then, other processing such as stopping the normal symbol fluctuation display with the display result (winning normal symbol or off-normal symbol) according to the determination result of the random number for normal symbol success / failure determination is performed (S804). Finish.

[Normal symbol confirmation processing]
As shown in FIG. 19, in the normal symbol determination process (S406), it is first determined whether or not the universal symbol flag is ON (S901). If the ordinary figure hit flag is not ON (NO in S901), the ordinary figure operation status is set to "1" (S905), and this process is terminated. On the other hand, if the normal hit flag is ON (YES in S901), it is subsequently determined whether or not the time reduction flag is ON, that is, whether or not the time reduction state is in effect (S902). If it is in the time-short state (YES in S902), the opening pattern in the time-short state is set as the opening pattern of the variable winning device 22 (second starting port 21) (S903). As described above, the release pattern in the short-time state is an release pattern in which the release for 2.0 seconds is repeated three times. Therefore, “3” is set in the second start port opening counter that counts the number of times the second start port 21 is opened.

  On the other hand, if it is in the non-short-time state (NO in S902), the opening pattern in the non-time-short state is set as the opening pattern of the variable winning device 22 (second starting port 21) (S906). The opening pattern in the non-time-short state is an opening pattern in which the opening for 0.2 seconds is performed once as described above. Accordingly, “1” is set in the second start port opening counter. Then, following the setting of the release pattern (S903, S906), the normal operation status is set to “4” (S904), and this process is completed.

[Normal electric equipment processing]
As shown in FIG. 20, in the ordinary electric accessory processing (S407), first, it is determined whether or not the end-of-common-use flag is ON (S1001). The normal hit end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the second start port 21 has ended in the auxiliary game executed as a win.

  If the normal hit end flag is not ON (NO in S1001), it is determined whether or not the second start port 21 is being opened (S1002). If it is not open (NO in S1002), it is determined whether or not the timing (timing) for opening the second starting port 21 has been reached (S1003). If so (YES in S1003), the second start port 21 is opened (S1004), and the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the second start port 21 is being opened (YES in S1002), it is determined in advance whether or not the timing (timing) for closing the second start port 21 has been reached (that is, after the second start port 21 is opened). (S1005), and if not reached (NO in S1005), the process is finished. If it has reached (YES in S1005), the second start port 21 is closed (closed). ) (S1006).

  Then, following the closing process (S1006) of the second starting port 21, the value of the second starting port opening counter is decremented by 1 (S1007), and whether or not the value of the second starting port opening counter is “0”. Determine (S1008). If it is not “0” (NO in S1008), the process is finished as it is to open the second start port 21 again. On the other hand, if it is “0” (YES in S1008), the base game end process for ending the auxiliary game is performed (S1009), and the base map end flag is set (S1010) to end the process. The second start port opening counter is set to “0” when the second start port 21 is opened (opening operation of the movable member 23) three times if it is in the time-short state, and if it is in the non-time-short state. When the second start port 21 is opened once, it becomes “0”.

  On the other hand, if the end-of-usage flag is ON in S1001 (YES in S1001), the opening operation of the second start port 21 for the number of times set in S903 or S906 has ended. The winning end flag is turned off (S1011), the ordinary figure hitting flag is turned off (S1012), the ordinary figure operation status is set to "1" (S1013), and the process ends. As a result, in the next interrupt process, the normal symbol standby process (S402) is executed again as the normal operation process (FIG. 13).

[Special figure operation processing]
As shown in FIG. 11, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a special figure operation process (S207) after the ordinary figure operation process (S206). In the special figure operation process (S207), as shown in FIG. 21, the process related to the special symbol display unit 41 and the big prize device (the first big prize device 31 and the second big prize device 36) is divided into four stages. "Special figure operation status 1, 2, 3, 4" is assigned to each stage. If the “special figure operation status” is “1” (YES in S1101), a special symbol standby process (S1102) is performed. If the “special figure operation status” is “2” (S1101) NO at S1103, YES at S1103), special symbol change processing (S1104) is performed, and when the “special symbol operation status” is “3” (NO at S1101 and S1103, YES at S1105), the special symbol is confirmed The process (S1106) is performed, and when the “special figure operation status” is “4” (S1101, S1103, and S1105 are all NO), the special electric accessory process (S1107) as a big hit game is performed. The special figure operation status is “1” by default.

[Special symbol standby processing]
As shown in FIG. 22, in the special symbol standby process (S1102), first, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls (that is, the number of reserved figures 2 reserved balls) at the second start port 21 is “0” (S1201). ). Special Figure 2 If the number of reserved balls is “0” (YES in S1201), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value obtained due to the ball entering the second start port 21, the first start It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls in the mouth 20 (that is, the number of reserved balls in Special Figure 1) is “0” (S1206). If the special figure 1 reserved ball number is also “0” (YES in S1206), that is, if there is no storage of the random number counter value acquired due to the ball entering the first starting port 20, the image It is determined whether or not the display screen 7a of the display device 7 is being processed as a standby screen (during execution of a customer waiting demo screen) (S1211), and if it is being processed as a standby screen (YES in S1211) ) If the process is finished and the standby screen is not being processed (NO in S1211), the standby screen setting process is executed to display the standby screen (S1212).

  In S1201, if the special figure 2 reserved ball number is not “0” (NO in S1201), that is, if there is one or more random number counter values acquired due to the ball entering the second starting port 21 The special figure 2 success / failure determination process (S1202), the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1203), the special figure 2 random number shift process (S1204), and the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1205) described later are performed in this order. Also, when the special figure 2 reserved ball number is “0” but the special figure 1 reserved ball number is not “0” (YES in S1201 and NO in S1206), that is, the random number counter value related to the second start port 21 If there is one or more random number counter values acquired due to entering the first starting port 20, there is no memory, but a special figure 1 success / failure determination process (S1207), which will be described later, Pattern selection processing (S1208), special figure 1 random number shift processing (S1209), and special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S1210) are performed in this order. As described above, in the present embodiment, the change display of the first special symbol based on the first special figure hold is performed only when the second special figure hold is “0” (YES in S1201). That is, the digestion of the second special symbol hold (the change display of the second special symbol) is executed in preference to the digestion of the first special symbol hold (the change display of the first special symbol). In the present embodiment, the success / failure determination based on the second special figure hold is more likely to be a big hit with a large profit for the player than the success / failure determination based on the first special figure hold (FIG. 8B). ).

[Special Figure 2 Decision Processing]
As shown in FIG. 23, in the special figure 2 success / failure determination process (S1202), first, as the determination value, the lowest area of the second special figure reservation storage unit 85b of the RAM (that is, the first special figure reservation first piece). The value (label-TRND-A) of the special symbol adequacy determination random number counter (the oldest storage) stored in the (RAM area corresponding to) is read (S1301). Next, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON, that is, whether or not it is in a high probability state (S1302). And if it is not a high probability state (NO in S1302), that is, if it is a normal state, the big hit determination table for the normal state (the big hit determination value is “3” and “ 397 "), a determination is made as to whether it is correct (S1303). On the other hand, if the state is a high probability state (YES in S1302), the success / failure determination is performed based on the jackpot determination table for the high probability state in the jackpot determination table (FIG. 8A) (S1304). In the jackpot determination table for the high probability state, the jackpot determination values are “3”, “53”, “113”, “173”, “227”, “281”, “337”, “397”, “449”. , “503”.

  When the result of the big hit determination (S1303, S1304) is determined as “big hit” (YES in S1305), the value of the big hit type determination random number counter (label-TRND-AS) is read and the big hit shown in FIG. The jackpot type is determined based on the type determination table (S1307), the jackpot symbol is determined based on the value of the jackpot type determination random number (S1308), the jackpot flag is turned ON (S1309), and the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the result of the big hit determination (S1303, S1304) is not “big hit” (NO in S1305), the off symbol is determined (S1306), and the process is terminated. In the case of determination of success / failure related to the first special symbol, the jackpot type determination table is determined using the jackpot type determination table for the first special symbol, and in the case of determination of success / failure related to the second special symbol, The jackpot type is determined using the jackpot type determination table. Here, the jackpot determination (special symbol success / failure determination) and the jackpot type determination determination may be referred to as “determination”, respectively, and may be referred to as “determination” including which jackpot symbol will be obtained by performing the jackpot determination. Good. In addition, these results may be referred to as “determination results”.

  Here, the round indicator 45 is composed of four LEDs, a 2R lamp, a 6R lamp, a 12R lamp, and a 16R lamp (see FIG. 4). For example, when 2R jackpot is reached, the 2R lamp is lit and displayed at the timing when the corresponding jackpot symbol is fixedly displayed. Specifically, the display mode is “2R ▲ 6Δ12Δ16RΔ” (for example, ▲: lit, Δ: unlit). When the 6R big hit is reached, the 6R lamp is turned on at the timing when the corresponding big hit symbol is fixedly displayed. Specifically, the display mode is “2RΔ6 ▲ 12Δ16RΔ”. In addition, when the 12R jackpot is reached, the 12R lamp is lit and displayed at the timing when the corresponding jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed. Specifically, the display mode is “2RΔ6Δ12 ▲ 16RΔ”. When the 16R jackpot is reached, the 16R lamp is turned on at the timing when the corresponding jackpot symbol is confirmed and displayed. Specifically, the display mode is “2RΔ6Δ12Δ16R ▲”.

[Special Figure 2 Variation Pattern Selection Processing]
In the special symbol standby process (FIG. 22), a special figure 2 variation pattern selection process is performed (S1203) after the special figure 2 success / failure determination process (S1202). As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, in the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1203), first, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is a time-short state (whether or not the time-short flag is ON) (S1401). ). If it is determined in S1401 that the time-short state is not set (NO in S1401), that is, if it is a non-time-short state, it is next determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (S1402). If it is determined in S1402 that the big hit flag is ON (YES in S1402), refer to the non-time-short state big hit table (the portion corresponding to the non-time-short state and big hit in the variation pattern table shown in FIG. 9) A variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (S1403). In this embodiment, any one of the variation patterns P1 to P3 is selected. In this embodiment, if the variation pattern is determined, the variation time is also determined. Next, the process proceeds to S1404.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S1402 that the big hit flag is not ON (NO in S1402), it is then determined whether or not the number of reserved special symbols is “1” or “2” (S1405). The reserved number here is the number of memories including the information for which the variation pattern is determined by this processing, so the number of reserved memories is any one of “1” to “4”. If it is determined in S1405 that the number of holds is “1” or “2” (YES in S1405), the first number-of-holds table (in the non-time-short state of the variation pattern table shown in FIG. The variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) with reference to the number of reserved balls “1, 2” (S1406). In this embodiment, any one of the variation patterns P4 to P7 is selected. On the other hand, if it is determined in S1405 that the number of holds is not “1” or “2”, that is, “3” or “4” (NO in S1405), the second number-of-holds table (the fluctuation shown in FIG. 9) A variation pattern is selected on the basis of the variation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) with reference to the non-time-short state and out of the pattern table and corresponding to the number of reserved balls “3, 4” (S1407). ). In this embodiment, any one of the variation patterns P8 to P11 is selected. In addition, the first reserved number deviation table is set to have a higher possibility of selecting a fluctuation pattern of a relatively long fluctuation time than the second reserved number deviation table. The shortest change time (12000 ms) that can be selected is also set to be longer than that of the second reserved number removal table (4000 ms).

  If it is determined in S1401 that the time is short (YES in S1401), it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (S1408). If it is determined in S1408 that the big hit flag is ON (YES in S1408), the fluctuation pattern is referenced with reference to the short-time state big hit table (the portion corresponding to the short-time state and big hit in the fluctuation pattern table shown in FIG. 9). A variation pattern is selected based on the random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (S1409). In this embodiment, any one of the variation patterns P12 to P14 is selected.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S1408 that the big hit flag is not ON (NO in S1408), it is then determined whether or not the number of holds is “1” (S1410). The number of reservations here is the same as described above, and the number of reservations is set to one of “1” to “4”. If it is determined in S1410 that the number of holdings is “1” (YES in S1410), the third holding number losing table (in the short-time state and out of the variation pattern table shown in FIG. 9 and the holding ball number is “1”). With reference to the corresponding part), the variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (S1411). In this embodiment, any one of the variation patterns P15 to P18 is selected. If it is determined in S1410 that the number of holds is not “1”, that is, the number of holds is any of “2” to “4” (NO in S1410), a fourth table for removing the number of holds (FIG. 9). A variation pattern is selected based on a variation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) with reference to a time-short state and a deviation and a portion corresponding to the number of reserved balls “2 to 4” in the variation pattern table shown in FIG. (S1411). In this embodiment, one of the variation patterns P19 to P22 is selected. Here, the variation pattern selected in the short-time state and out-of-phase is more likely to be selected than the variation pattern selected in the non-time-short state and out-of-range. Yes. This is for speeding up the digestion of the special figure reservation (promoting the game during the short time) by selecting more variation patterns with a short variation time in the short time state.

  After the variation pattern is selected as described above, other processing shown in FIG. 24 is performed (S1404), and the processing is terminated. In other processing (S1404), processing such as setting a variation pattern designation command corresponding to the selected variation pattern in the output buffer of the RAM is performed. Further, the variation pattern designation command set in this process is included in a variation start command described later, and is transmitted to the sub-control unit 90 by the output process (S201).

[Special figure 2 random number shift processing]
As shown in FIG. 26, in the special figure 2 random number shift process (S1204), first, the special figure 2 reserved ball number is decremented by 1 (S1501). Next, the storage location of the various counter values in the second special figure reservation storage unit 85b is one level lower (for example, the second special figure reservation storage unit 85b is composed of an address space corresponding to addresses "0000" to "0003"). , The address “0000” side) (S1502). Then, “0” is set in the uppermost address space of the second special figure holding storage unit 85b, that is, the RAM corresponding to the fourth special figure holding fourth (when the upper limit number is stored). The area is cleared to 0 (S1503), and this process ends.

  After executing the special figure 2 random number shift process (S1204), the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1205) shown in FIG. 22 is executed. In the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1205), the special figure operation status is set to "2" and a fluctuation start command is set in the output buffer of the RAM to start the fluctuation display of the second special symbol.

  In the special symbol standby process (S1102) of FIG. 22, when the special figure 2 reserved ball number is “0” and the special figure 1 reserved ball number is not “0” (YES in S1201, NO in S1206). The special figure 1 determination process (S1207), the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1208), the special figure 1 random number shift process (S1209), and the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1210) are performed in this order.

[Special Figure 1 Win / Fail Decision Processing]
As shown in FIG. 27, in the special figure 1 success / failure determination process (S1207), the process (S1601 to S1609) is performed in the same flow as the special figure 2 success / failure determination process (S1202) shown in FIG. Therefore, detailed description of this process is omitted. However, since this process is related to the special figure 1, in S1601, the lowermost area of the first special figure reservation storage unit 85a of the RAM (ie, the RAM area corresponding to the first special figure reservation) is stored. The stored special symbol success / failure random number counter value (label-TRND-A) is read and processed.

[Special Figure 1 Variation Pattern Selection Processing]
As shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1208), the process (S1701 to S1712) is performed in the same flow as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1403) shown in FIGS. )I do. Therefore, detailed description of this process is omitted.

[Special Figure 1 Random Number Shift Processing]
As shown in FIG. 30, in the special figure 1 random number shift process (S1209), first, the special figure 1 reserved ball number is decremented by 1 (S1801). Next, the storage location of the various counter values in the first special figure reservation storage unit is shifted down by one (S2002). Then, “0” is set in the highest address space of the first special figure reservation storage unit, that is, the RAM area corresponding to the fourth special figure reservation (when the maximum number is stored). Is cleared to 0 (S1803), and this process ends.

  After executing the special figure 1 random number shift process (S1209), the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1210) shown in FIG. 22 is executed. In the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1210), the special figure operation status is set to "2" and a fluctuation start command is set in the output buffer of the RAM to start the fluctuation display of the first special symbol.

[Special symbol change processing]
As shown in FIG. 31, in the special symbol variation processing (S1104), first, the variation time of the special symbol (variation time determined according to the variation pattern selected in S1203 or S1208 of FIG. 22, see FIG. 9). It is determined whether or not it has passed (S1901). If it is determined that the fluctuation time has not elapsed (NO in S1901), the process ends. Thereby, the variable display of the special symbol is continued.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluctuation time has elapsed (YES in S1901), a fluctuation stop command is set (S1902). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON (S1903). If it is ON (YES in S1903), the probability variation counter is decremented by 1 (S1904), and whether or not the value of the probability variation counter is “0”. Is determined (S1905). If it is determined in S1905 that the probability variation counter is “0”, the probability variation flag is turned OFF, and the process proceeds to S1907. On the other hand, when it is determined that the probability variation flag is not ON (NO in S1903) and when it is determined that the probability variation counter is not “0” (NO in S1905), the process proceeds to S1907.

  In S1907, it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (S1907). If it is determined that the time reduction flag is ON (YES in S1907), the number of times the special symbol is changed during the time reduction state is counted. 1 is subtracted from the value of the time reduction counter (S1908), and it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is "0" (S1909). If it is "0" (YES in S1909), the time reduction flag is turned OFF (S1910). ), The process proceeds to S1911. If it is determined that the time reduction flag is not ON (NO in S1907), and if it is determined that the value of the time reduction counter is not “0” (NO in S1909), the process proceeds to S1911.

  In S1911, the special figure operation status is set to “3” (S1911). Then, other processing such as stopping the special symbol variation display at a result corresponding to the determination result of the special symbol success / failure determination random number and the jackpot type determination random number is performed (S1912), and this processing is ended.

[Special symbol confirmation processing]
As shown in FIG. 32, in the special symbol confirmation process (S1106), it is first determined whether or not the big hit flag is ON (S2001). If the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S2001), then it is determined whether the determined jackpot type is 16R jackpot, and if it is determined that it is 16R jackpot (YES in S2002), it is executed during the jackpot game. “16” is set to the value of the round counter for counting the number of rounds to be performed (S2003), and the process proceeds to S2009. On the other hand, if it is determined in S2002 that the type of jackpot is not 16R jackpot (NO in S2002), it is determined whether the determined jackpot type is 12R jackpot (S2004) and it is determined that it is 12R jackpot (YES in S2004), the value of the round counter is set to “12” (S2005), and the process proceeds to S2009. On the other hand, if it is determined in S2004 that the jackpot type is not 12R jackpot (NO in S2004), it is determined whether the determined jackpot type is 6R jackpot (S2006), and it is determined that it is 6R jackpot ( YES in S2006), the value of the round counter is set to “6” (S2007), and the process proceeds to S2009. On the other hand, if it is determined in S2006 that the type of jackpot is not 6R jackpot (NO in S2006), since the confirmed jackpot type is 2R jackpot, “2” is set to the value of the round counter (S2008), S2009 Move on to processing.

  In S2009, a big winning opening opening pattern corresponding to the determined type of jackpot is set (S2009), and the process proceeds to S2010. Here, as described above, the winning pattern opening pattern is determined according to the type of jackpot, so the winning pattern opening pattern corresponding to the jackpot determined this time is set (see FIG. 6). In each of the big hit games, the opening operation of the big winning opening (the first big winning opening 30 or the second big winning opening 35) based on the big winning opening opening pattern set in S2009 is executed.

  In S2010, a jackpot opening command is set to start the jackpot game (S2010). In this embodiment, as the opening command, a first opening command corresponding to 16R first jackpot, a second opening command corresponding to 6R second to fifth jackpots, a third opening command corresponding to 16R sixth jackpot, RUB ( Corresponds to 4th opening command corresponding to 16R 7 big hits, 12R 8 big hits, 6R 9 big hits, 5R opening command corresponding to 2R big hits (2R 10 big hits, 2R 12 big hits) and 16R 11 big hits Six types of sixth opening commands are provided. In S2010, an opening command is set according to the type of jackpot (starting jackpot) determined this time. Then, the main control unit 80 (game control microcomputer 81) transmits the set opening command to the sub-control unit 90 at a predetermined timing by the output process (S201), and receives the opening command. The unit 90 performs a predetermined game effect execution process based on the opening command.

  If the opening command is set, the opening period of the jackpot game is started (S2011), and the special figure operation status is set to “4” (S2012). If it is determined in S2001 that the big hit flag is not ON (NO in S2001), the special figure operation status is set to “1” (S2013), and the process is terminated. The opening period is a period that is set before the first opening operation of the big prize opening in the jackpot game is started, and after the change display of the special symbol (direction symbol) is disabled. " Further, the effect executed in the “start period” is also referred to as “start effect (opening effect)”. In the present embodiment, the opening period (opening time) is determined by the type of the jackpot that has been determined and the gaming state when the jackpot has been determined (that is, when the jackpot symbol has been stopped and displayed) The opening period can be specified by the above-described opening command. Therefore, the sub-control unit 90 that has received the opening command can perform an opening effect based on the jackpot type and opening period specified by the opening command.

[Special electric equipment processing (big hit game)]
As shown in FIG. 33, in the special electric accessory processing (S1107), first, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON (S2101). If it is determined that the probability variation flag is ON (YES in S2101), The probability variation flag is turned OFF (S2102), and then it is determined whether or not the time reduction flag is ON (S2103). If it is determined in S2103 that the time reduction flag is ON (YES in S2103), the time reduction flag is turned OFF (S2104), and the process proceeds to S2105. If it is determined in S2101 that the probability variation flag is not ON (NO in S2101), the process proceeds to S2103 without performing the process in S2102. If it is determined in S2103 that the time reduction flag is not ON (NO in S2103), The process proceeds to S2105 without performing the process in S2104. In other words, during the execution of the big hit game, the low probability state and the non-time-short state are controlled. In the present embodiment, since the low base state is always in the non-time saving state, the low base state is also controlled during the execution of the big hit game.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the big hit end flag is ON (S2105). The big hit end flag is a flag indicating that all the opening processes of the big winning devices (the first big winning device 31 and the second big winning device 36) have been completed in the big hit game (the big hit game has ended). If the big hit end flag is not ON (NO in S2105), it is next determined whether or not it is the start time of the round (S2106). This is determined based on the big winning opening opening pattern set for each jackpot type described above. For example, if it is before the start of the first round, the determination is made based on whether or not it is the timing at which the opening period ends and the first release process of the first round is executed. If the first round has already started, the determination is made based on whether the previous round has ended and the predetermined interval period has ended.

  If it is determined in S2106 that it is the time to start a round (YES in S2106), a round start command for the corresponding round is set (S2107), and a big prize opening process is performed (S2108). As a result, the grand prize opening (the first big prize opening 30 or the second big prize opening 35) is opened, and a predetermined round starts. In S2107, a round start command capable of specifying the starting round is set, such as “1R start command” if the first round is started and “2R start command” if the second round is started. . The set round start command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 90 by the output process of S201. In the winning prize opening process of S2108, the winning prize opening (first big) is determined based on the winning prize opening pattern determined according to the type of jackpot to be executed, that is, the winning prize opening pattern set in S2009 described above. The opening / closing member is operated (opening operation) to open the winning opening 30 or the second large winning opening 35).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S2106 that it is not the round start time (NO in S2106), the process proceeds to S2112. Here, as a case where it is determined that it is not the start time of the round, for example, during the opening period before the start of one round, during the round game, during the interval period after the end of the round game (during the big prize closing process), etc. can be cited. .

  In S2112, it is determined whether or not the big winning opening releasing operation is being executed, that is, whether or not the big winning opening opened by the processing of S2108 is still open (during round game) (S2112). As a result, if it is determined that the big prize opening operation is not being executed (in the round game) (NO in S2112), the process proceeds to S2116, and the big prize opening operation is being executed (in the round game). If it is determined (YES in S2112), it is determined whether the end condition (round end condition) of the currently executed round game is satisfied (S2113).

  Here, as the conditions for ending the round in this embodiment, (1) the opening time of the big prize opening determined in the round game being executed (for example, 25 s), that is, the execution time of the round game has elapsed, (2) Two conditions are established: a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls have entered the big winning opening in the round game being executed. When either one of the conditions is satisfied, the round end condition is satisfied based on the previously satisfied condition. If it is determined in S2113 that the round end condition is not satisfied (NO in S2113), the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S2113 that the round end condition is satisfied (YES in S2113), a round end command for the corresponding round is set (S2114), and the process proceeds to S2115. In S2114, a round end command capable of specifying a round to be ended is set, such as “1R end command” if the end of the first round and “2R end command” if the end of the second round. The set round end command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 90 by the output process of S201.

  In S2115, a special prize opening closing process is performed (S2115), and the opening / closing member of the special prize opening (the first big prize opening 30 or the second big prize opening 35) is operated (closed operation), and the big prize opening (first The big prize opening 30 or the second big prize opening 35) is closed. In the special winning opening closing process, a closing time for keeping the special winning opening (the first big winning opening 30 or the second big winning opening 35) in a closed state, that is, an interval time is set. Next, it is determined whether or not the interval time has elapsed in S2116 (S2116). If it is determined that the interval has not elapsed (being in the interval period) (NO in S2116), the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S2116 that the interval time has elapsed (YES in S2116), the value of the round counter is decremented by 1 (S2117), and it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter is “0” (S2118). ). If it is determined in S2118 that the value of the round counter is not “0” (NO in S2118), the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the round counter is “0” (YES in S2118), a jackpot ending command is set as a jackpot ending process to end the jackpot game (S2119), and the jackpot ending period is started. (S2120), the big hit end flag is set to ON (S2121), and the process ends. Note that the value of the round counter becomes “0” when all the round games in the jackpot game to be executed are completed.

  In S2119, an ending command is selected from a plurality of predetermined ending commands according to the gaming state at the time of the big hit, the type of the big hit, the gaming state after the big hit, and the like. A command is set. The ending period (ending time) to be executed (set) is determined by the type of ending command set in this way. During the ending period, after all the opening operations of the big prize opening (first big prize opening 30 and second big prize opening 35) in the big hit game are finished, it is possible to execute the variable display of special symbols (directing symbols) It is a period set before, and is also referred to as an “end period”. In the ending period (end period), the first big prize opening 30 and the second big prize opening 35 are closed. The effect executed during the “end period” is also referred to as “end effect (ending effect)”.

  Then, the main control unit 80 (game control microcomputer 81) transmits the ending command set in S2119 to the sub-control unit 90 at a predetermined timing by the output process (S201), and receives the ending command. The sub-control unit 90 performs a predetermined ending effect execution process based on the ending command.

  If it is determined in S2105 that the jackpot end flag is ON (YES in S2105), since the final round in the jackpot game has ended, whether or not the jackpot ending time has elapsed, that is, the above-described S2120 It is determined whether it is the end timing of the ending period started in the process (S2122). If it is determined that the ending time has not elapsed (NO in S2122), the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ending time has elapsed (YES in S2122), the big hit end flag is turned OFF (S2123), and a game state setting process (S2124) described later is performed. Next, the big hit flag is turned off (S2125), the special figure operation status is set to "1" (S2126), and the process is terminated. Thus, in the next interrupt process, the special symbol standby process (S1102) is executed again as the special figure operation process (FIG. 21). It can be said that the game control microcomputer 81 that executes the above-described special electric accessory processing (S1108) functions as “special game execution means”.

[Game state setting process]
As shown in FIG. 34, in the game state setting process (S2124), it is first determined whether or not the big hit game that has ended this time is related to a probable big hit (S2201). In this embodiment, as described above, 7 types of 16V 1 big hit, 6R 2 big hit, 16R 6 big hit, 16R 7 big hit, 12R 8 big hit, 6R 9 big hit, 2R 10 big hit, positive variation big hit Therefore, in S2201, it is determined whether or not any of these seven types is applicable. If it is determined that the probability variation is a big hit (YES in S2201), the probability variation flag is set to ON (S2202), “10,000” is set in the probability variation counter (S2203), and the time reduction flag is set. Is set to ON (S2204), "10,000" is set in the hour / hour counter (S2205), and the process is terminated.

  Here, the value set in the probability variation counter is the number of times that the special symbol success / failure determination with high probability can be executed. The value “10,000” (10,000 times) set in the present embodiment is a jackpot probability in a high probability state, a business day of a game shop, a special figure determination judgment that can be executed within the business time. Considering the number of times, it is substantially the same as guaranteeing a high-probability state until the next big hit or the business hours end. Therefore, when the gaming state is set to a high probability state, it may be said that the high probability state is guaranteed until the next big hit occurs (substantially synonymous). In addition, when the probability variation flag is ON, “10,000” is also set in the hour / hour counter, so that the hour / short state (open extended state) is also set while this high probability state is set. It can be said that. As in the present embodiment, the value of “10,000” may be set to the probability variation counter and the hourly time counter, and the highly accurate and high base state may be substantially set until the next big hit. When the hour / short flag is ON, a control that sets the high-accuracy base state until the next big hit occurs may be employed without setting a value in the counter.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S2201 that it is not a probable big hit (NO in S2201), that is, if it is a big hit game related to a non-probable big hit (normal big hit), the time is shortened without turning on the probability variable flag. The flag is turned ON (S2206), and the time reduction counter is set to “100” (S2207), and the process is terminated. In this embodiment, as described above, the 5 types of 6R 3rd to 5th big hit, 16R 11th big hit and 2R 12th big hit are non-probable big hits, so the big hit game according to any of these 5 types When is finished, the gaming state becomes a low probability state, a short time state, and a high base state (that is, a low probability high base state). This low-accuracy base state is terminated when one of the following conditions is met: special symbol variation display is performed 100 times (special symbol success / failure determination is performed 100 times) and the next big hit occurs. To do. The time reduction counter and the probability variation counter count the number of times that the number of fluctuation displays of the first special symbol and the number of fluctuation displays of the second special symbol are added together.

[Reserved ball count processing]
As shown in FIG. 11, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a reserved ball number process (S208) after the special figure operation process (S207). As shown in FIG. 35, in the reserved ball number processing (S208), first, the special figure 1 reserved ball number, the special figure 2 reserved ball number, and the normal symbol reserved ball number stored in the RAM of the main control board 80 are read out. (S2501). Next, the data on the number of reserved balls (the number of held balls command for transmitting the information on the number of held balls to the sub-control board 90) is set in the output buffer of the RAM (S2502). The data related to the number of reserved balls (the number of reserved balls command) is output by the output process (S201) in the next interrupt process (S105), and the data related to the number of held balls (the number of reserved balls command) for each interrupt process. To the output buffer (S2502) and output processing (S201) are sequentially performed. For the data of the special figure holding ball number when the special figure holding ball number is added, that is, the data of the special figure holding ball number accompanying the occurrence of the starting pitch (start winning prize), the start pitching command described above is used. It is good also as what sets the reservation ball number command which shows the number of special figure reservation balls after addition or after addition (after start entry) to an output buffer with a start entry command. In addition, for the data on the number of reserved balls when the number of reserved special figure balls is subtracted, that is, the data on the number of special figure reserved balls that accompanies the start of fluctuation of special symbols (digestion of special figure hold), the above-described change start command is used. It is good also as what sets the reservation ball number command which shows the number of special figure reservation balls after inclusion or after subtraction (after special figure reservation digestion) with a change start command to an output buffer.

[Power-off monitoring processing]
As shown in FIG. 11, the game control microcomputer 81 performs a power-off monitoring process (S209) subsequent to the reserved ball number process (S208). As shown in FIG. 36, in the power-off monitoring process (S209), first, it is determined whether or not a power-off signal is input (S2601). If there is no input (NO in S2601), the process ends. On the other hand, if there is a power-off signal input (YES in S2601), the current gaming machine status (whether it is probable or not, whether or not it is a winning game, the number of held balls, (S2602) is stored in the RAM (S2602), the power-off flag is turned on (S2603), and then loop processing is performed without returning to interrupt processing (FIG. 11).

[Sub control main processing]
Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 91 (control processing by the sub control unit 90) will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the counter, flag, status, buffer, timer, and the like that appear in the description of the operation of the effect control microcomputer 91 are provided in the RAM of the sub control board 90 (sub control unit). When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, the effect control microcomputer 91 provided in the sub control board 90 reads out and executes the program of the sub control main process shown in FIG. 37 from the ROM of the sub control board 90. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, first, a CPU initialization process is performed (S4001). In the CPU initialization process (S4001), stack setting, constant setting, CPU 92 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (interrupt time controller) setting, various flags, status and counter reset are performed.

  Subsequently, in S4002, it is determined whether the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM of the sub-control board 90 are normal (S4002). If the determination result is NO (NO in S4002), the RAM of the sub control board 90 is initialized (S4003), and the process proceeds to S4004. On the other hand, if the determination result is YES (YES in S4002), the process proceeds to S4004 without initializing the RAM of the sub control board 90. That is, if the power-off signal is not ON, or if the RAM contents are not normal even if the power-off signal is ON (NO in S4002), the RAM of the sub control board 90 is initialized. If the power-off signal is turned on but the contents of the RAM are maintained normally (YES in S4002), the RAM is not initialized. If the RAM is initialized, various flags, statuses, and counter values are reset. Note that S4001 to S4003 are executed only once after the power is turned on (when the power is turned on), and are not executed thereafter. In the first embodiment, the effect control microcomputer 91 performs the same process as the power-off monitoring process (S209) by the game control microcomputer 81 shown in FIG. When turned on, data related to the effect control at that time is stored in the RAM of the sub-control board 90. That is, data related to presentation control at the time of power interruption such as a power failure is backed up. For this reason, unless the RAM of the sub-control board 90 is initialized (S4003) at power-on after power-off such as a power failure (power-off recovery), effect control by the effect control microcomputer 91 is performed. Will return to the state before the power failure occurred.

  In S4004, interrupts are prohibited. Next, random number seed update processing is executed (S4005). In the random number seed update process (S4005), the values of various effect determination random number counters are updated. The updated random number counter value is sequentially stored in a predetermined update value storage area (not shown) of the RAM of the sub-control board 90. The random number for effect determination includes a random effect determination random number for determining the aspect of the effect symbol game effect to be executed (variable effect pattern), a random number for determining the notification effect for determining the notification effect, and an effect symbol determination for determining the effect symbol. There are random numbers. The random number update method may be the same as the random number update process performed by the main control board 80 described above. When updating the random number, the random number value may be added two by two instead of adding one by one. The effect determination random number is acquired at a predetermined timing. As this timing, for example, when a control signal (starting ball entering command) for notifying that a starting ball has entered is transmitted from the main control board 80, or a control signal for notifying the start of fluctuation from the main control board 80 ( For example, when a variation start command) is transmitted, or when a later-described variation effect pattern is determined. The storage location of the acquired effect determination random number is a predetermined random number counter value storage area (not shown) in the RAM of the sub-control board 90.

  When the random number seed update process (S4005) is completed, a command transmission process is executed (S4006). In the command transmission process, various commands (control signals) stored in an output buffer (also referred to as “sub output buffer”) in the RAM of the sub control board 90 are transferred to the image control board 100, the audio control board 106, and the lamp control. It transmits to the control board which becomes a corresponding command transmission destination among the boards 107. Each control board (each control unit) that has received the command uses various rendering devices (image display device 7, speaker 67, panel lamp 5, frame lamp 66, movable decorative member 14, etc.) according to the received command. A production (production design game production, special game production related to jackpot game, etc.) is executed. Next, the production control microcomputer 91 permits interruption (S4007). Thereafter, S4004 to S4007 are looped. While interrupts are permitted, reception interrupt processing (S4008), 2 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009), and 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) can be executed. By executing these control processes, display control of effect symbols executed on the display screen 7a (effect symbol display area 7b) of the image display device 7, lighting control of various lamps, and operation of the movable decorative member Control, audio output control from a speaker, and the like can be performed.

[Reception interrupt processing]
In the reception interrupt process (S4008), as shown in FIG. 38, whether or not the strobe signal (STB signal) is ON, that is, the strobe signal sent from the main control board 80 is sent to the external INT input section of the effect control microcomputer 91. It is determined whether or not an input has been made (S4101). If it is determined in S4101 that the strobe signal is not ON (NO in S4101), the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in S4101 that the strobe signal is ON (YES in S4101), various commands transmitted from the main control board 80 are stored in the RAM of the sub-control board 90 (S4102), and the process ends. . This reception interrupt process (S4008) is a process executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4009, S4010).

[2ms timer interrupt processing]
The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S4009) is a process executed whenever an interrupt pulse with a 2 msec period is input to the sub-control board 90. As shown in FIG. 39, in the 2 ms timer interruption process (S4009), first, an input process for creating switch data (edge data and level data) is performed based on the detection signals from the effect button detection switches 63c and 63d (S4201). ). Next, lamp data output processing (S4202) for outputting lamp data for emitting lamps such as the frame lamp 66 and the panel lamp 5 and driving data for driving the movable decorative member 14 (electrical drive source) are output. Drive data output processing (S4203). The lamp data and the drive data are created by a 10 ms timer interrupt process described later. Then, a watchdog timer process for resetting the watchdog timer is performed (S4204).

[10ms timer interrupt processing]
The 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4010) is a process executed every time an interrupt pulse with a 10 msec cycle is input to the sub-control board 90. As shown in FIG. 40, in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4010), first, a received command analysis process (S4302) described later is performed. Next, switch state acquisition processing is performed in which the switch data created in the 2 ms timer interrupt processing is stored in the RAM of the sub-control board 90 as switch data for 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4303), and the switch stored in the switch state acquisition processing Based on the data, switch processing for setting the display content of the display screen 7a is performed (S4304). Thereafter, other processes such as creating lamp data (data for controlling lighting of the panel lamp 5 and the frame lamp 66) and updating the effect determination random number are executed (S4305).

[Received command analysis processing]
As shown in FIG. 41, in the received command analysis process (S4302), first, it is determined whether or not a start ball entering command is received from the main control board 80 (S4395). If it is determined (NO in S4395), the process proceeds to S4401, and if it is determined that a start ball entering command has been received (YES in S4395), the production hold information storage process (S4400) is performed and the process proceeds to S4401. To do. The production hold information storage process (S4400) is a process for determining various kinds of information (preliminary judgment result, jackpot type determination disturbance) included in the start entry command (Special Figure 1 start entry command or Special Figure 2 start entry command) received in S4395. (Game information such as numerical value, fluctuation pattern random number value, etc.) according to the type of special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) and the number of special figure holding balls at the time of sending and receiving the start incoming ball command (at the time of command generation) In the shift memory format, it is stored in a predetermined production hold information storage area of the RAM of the sub-control board 90. For example, if the received start pitch command is a special Fig. 1 start pitch command corresponding to the number of held balls "4" in Fig. 1, the pre-determination result and hit type included in the special map 1 start pitch command Are stored as special figure 1 production hold information in the area corresponding to the number of holds 4 in the special figure 1 production hold information storage area. The effect hold information stored in this way is used to execute various effects such as a change effect, a notice effect, and an effect mode, which will be described later. The contents stored in the production hold information storage area (production hold information) in the sub-control board 90 are stored in the special figure hold storage section (first special figure hold storage section, second special figure) in the main control board (main control section) 80 described above. This is consistent with the stored content (acquired information) of the hold storage unit. From this, it can be said that the production hold information storage area of the sub-control board 90 is also “acquired information storage means”.

  Next, in S4401, it is determined whether or not a variation start command has been received from the main control board 80 (S4401). If it is determined that a variation start command has been received (YES in S4401), a variation effect start process (described later) ( S4402) is performed, and the process proceeds to S4403. If it is determined that the variation start command is not received (NO in S4401), the process proceeds to S4406 without performing the variation effect start process. In S4403, it is determined whether or not a variable stop command has been received from the main control board 80 (S4403). If it is determined that a variable stop command has been received (YES in S4403), the effect symbol is stopped and displayed. A variation effect end process to be ended is performed (S4404). In the variation effect end process (S4404), a variation effect end command for stopping and displaying the effect symbol 8 and ending the variation effect is set in the sub output buffer. When the set variable effect end command is transmitted to the image control board 100 by the command transmission process (S4006), the image control microcomputer 101 displays the effect symbol 8 that has been variably displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7. The stop effect is displayed, and the variation effect (effect symbol game effect) is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined in S4403 that the change stop command has not been received (NO in S4403), the process proceeds to S4405 without performing the change effect end process. The variation effect refers to various effects performed in accordance with the variation display of the special symbol such as the variation display of the effect symbol 8 and the reach effect.

  Subsequently, in S4405, it is determined whether or not a jackpot game-related command is received from the main control board 80 (S4408). Here, the jackpot game-related command is a command transmitted from the main control board 80 upon execution of the jackpot game, and specifically, an opening command (at the time of the jackpot game start (occurrence of jackpot)) S2010), round start command transmitted at the start of the round (see S2107), round end command transmitted at the end of the round (see S2114), ending command transmitted at the end of the big hit game (see S2119 For example). In S4405, it is determined whether or not any of these jackpot game-related commands has been received. If not received (NO in S4405), the process proceeds to S4407, and if received (YES in S4405). Then, processing related to the execution of the effect (big hit game related effect) according to the type of the received command is performed (S4406). For example, if the received command is an opening command, an opening effect command for specifying an opening effect corresponding to the type of jackpot specified based on the command is set in the sub output buffer, and if the command is a round start command, the command Set the round production command that specifies the round production according to the round specified based on the sub output buffer, and if it is an ending command, the ending that specifies the ending production according to the jackpot type specified based on the command Set the production command in the sub output buffer. When the various effect commands related to the set jackpot are transmitted to the image control board 100 by the command transmission process (S4006), the image control microcomputer 101 performs an opening effect or a round effect according to the progress status of the jackpot game. For example, an effect related to the big hit game is executed on the display screen 7 a of the image display device 7.

  Finally, the process of S4407 is performed, and this process ends. In S4407, as other processing, processing based on other received commands (for example, a normal symbol variation start command and a normal symbol variation stop command) excluding the various commands described above is performed (S4407).

[Variation production start processing]
Next, the variation effect start process (S4402) executed in the received command analysis process (S4302) will be described. As shown in FIG. 42, in the variation effect start process (S4402), first, an effect determination random number process for acquiring various effect determination random numbers such as a random effect determination random number, a notice effect determination random number, an effect symbol determination random number, and the like. (S4501) is performed. In this embodiment, the process of S4501 is performed at the timing when the variation start command is received from the main control unit 80, and a predetermined value (acquisition information) is acquired from each random number. Based on the acquired value (acquired information), the aspect of the effect symbol game effect (variation effect) to be executed, the aspect of the notice effect, the effect symbol to be stopped and the like are determined.

  Next, in S4502, the received variation start command is analyzed (S4502). The variation start command includes a variation pattern designation command (information for designating the variation pattern) for designating the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern selection process of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. The information designating the variation pattern includes variation pattern information (P1 to P22) shown in FIG. 9, game state information designating the current gaming state, first special symbol success determination or second special symbol success determination. And the symbol information for designating the jackpot type are included (see FIG. 8). In addition, since there are a variation pattern designation command corresponding to the first special symbol and a variation corresponding to the second special symbol, by analyzing the variation pattern designation command, the effect symbol game effect to be started this time It is possible to determine whether the (variation display of the effect symbol) relates to the special figure 1 or the special figure 2. Note that the variation pattern information, the game state information, the symbol information, and the like can be used in processes other than the variation effect start process to be executed thereafter.

  Next, in S4503, the production control microcomputer 91 refers to the current mode status (S4503). The mode status is for determining an effect mode to be executed. The mode status is any value from “1” to “5”, and each value is assigned to the production modes A to E. Specifically, mode status “1” corresponds to effect mode A, mode status “2” corresponds to effect mode B, mode status “3” corresponds to effect mode C, and mode status “4” corresponds to effect mode B. Corresponding to the production mode D, the mode status “5” corresponds to the production mode E. By referring to the current mode status, it is possible to specify the current production mode.

  Here, the effect mode is an aspect of the effect in the image display device 7. If the effect mode is different, some or all of the effect aspects of the game effect such as the notice effect and the reach effect are different. Specifically, the image displayed on the image display device 7 is in the effect mode such that the display mode of the effect symbol 8 (for example, symbol design, number design, etc.) is different or the characters, items, and background images that appear are different. It will be different. In addition, the effect design game effect can also be executed in a mode according to the effect mode, and when providing a plurality of game effects (notice effect, reach effect, etc.), different game effects can be executed depending on the effect mode. It can be. In the present embodiment, the production mode A is executed when being controlled to the low accuracy low base state, the production mode B is executed when being controlled to the low accuracy high base state, and the production mode C is the high accuracy high accuracy. This is executed when the base state is controlled, and the rendering modes D and E are executed when the low-accuracy base state and the high-accuracy base state are controlled. Therefore, when the production mode is any one of A to C, the player confirms the production mode so that the current gaming state is a low probability low base state or a high probability high base state (probability varying gaming state). You can see if there is. On the other hand, when the production mode is D or E, even if the player confirms the production mode, whether the current gaming state is the low probability high base state (short time state) or the high probability high base state (probability variation gaming state) It is difficult to grasp whether it is. In that sense, the production modes D and E can be said to be probability non-notification modes. In this embodiment, after the big hit game related to any one of 16R first big hit, 16R sixth big hit and RUB, the effect mode C is set, and after the big hit game related to any of 6R second to fifth big hits is finished. Becomes the effect mode D, and after the big hit game related to the 16R 11th big hit, the production mode B becomes, and after the big hit game related to the 2R big hit comes to an effect mode E.

  Next, in S4504, a variation effect pattern determination table (not shown) for determining a variation effect pattern (variation effect pattern) to be performed using the image display device 7, the panel lamp 5, the movable decorative member 14, and the like is set (S4504). Specifically, the variation effect pattern determination table to be used is set based on the mode status (current effect mode) referred to in S4503 and the variation pattern designation command received from the main control unit 80. For example, when the fluctuation pattern information designated by the received fluctuation pattern designation command is “P1 (fluctuation pattern P1)” (see FIG. 9), the big hit time corresponding to the current presentation mode is set as the fluctuation presentation pattern determination table. A variation production pattern determination table is set. The variation effect pattern determination table is mainly for determining the execution mode of the effect symbol game effect (the variation pattern of the effect symbol etc.), and a plurality of variable effect pattern determination tables (mode status) corresponding to the effect mode (mode status). (Not shown) is stored in the ROM of the sub-control board 90 in advance. In S4504, a table corresponding to the mode status (current effect mode) referred to in S4503 is selected and set from the variation effect pattern determination tables.

  Next, in S4505, based on the random effect determination random number acquired in S4501 and the variable effect pattern determination table set in S4504, a variable effect pattern suitable for the specified variation pattern is selected and set (S4505). . As the variation effect pattern, a variation mode of the effect symbol 8 displayed in the effect symbol display area 7b (execution mode of the effect symbol game effect) is set. Thus, in the effect symbol game effect (variation effect), when the reach effect is executed (reach with effect symbol game effect), or when the character effect performed using a specific character (character effect symbol game effect), A case where the reach effect or the character effect is not executed (reach no effect symbol game effect) or the like is determined. The reach effect is, for example, that the three effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are all the same as the display pattern of the effect symbol 8 when the result of the special symbol success / failure determination indicates that it is a big win In the case where a mode (a big hit mode, a specific mode) is provided, two of the three effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are stopped and displayed (temporarily stopped) with the symbols constituting the big hit mode, and the remaining one Refers to an effect indicating whether or not the remaining one effect symbol is stopped and displayed with a symbol that completes the jackpot mode in a state where the variable display is continued. Such reach production is also referred to as “specific production”.

  Further, in S4505, based on the effect design determination random number acquired in S4501 and a stop design determination table (not shown), an effect design 8 (also referred to as “stop effect design”) to be displayed is determined and set. The effect symbol 8 that is stopped and displayed as a result of the effect symbol game effect is that the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is out of reach, and if the reach is out of reach, three effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R such as “787” are displayed. Among them, one effect symbol is different from the other effect symbols, and when it is out of reach, at least one effect symbol of three effect symbols 8L, 8C, 8R such as “635” is the other The production pattern is different. On the other hand, if the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is a big hit, and either the 16R first big hit or the 16R sixth big hit, it is “777”, and the 6R second to fifth big hit and the 16R eleventh big hit In any of the cases, an odd symbol other than “777” or an even symbol such as “666” is selected, and in the case of a big hit corresponding to RUB, an RUB-specific outcome such as “3 * 3” ( Dedicated design). In the case of 2R big hit, the three effect symbols 8L, 8C, and 8R are stopped and displayed in the same manner (separated) as in the case of losing. However, for the 2R big hit, a predetermined chance such as “135” may be stopped and displayed. It should be noted that the stop display mode of the effect design 8 described above is an example, and what can be stopped and displayed as the stop effect design when a big hit is made can be changed as appropriate.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the reach A, reach B, reach C, super reach (also referred to as “SP reach”) A, super reach B, super Reach C, character effects, and the like are set, and in S4505, based on the variable effect pattern determination table, any of these effects is performed or these effects are not performed (this is also referred to as “normal variation”). ) Is determined. Then, when the reachable effect game effect is executed, any reach effect is set based on the change pattern designation command and the change effect pattern determination table. Here, when the super reach effect is executed as the effect symbol game effect, it is set to be more likely to be a big hit than when the normal reach effect is executed. In other words, it can be said that the super reach production is a game production with a high jackpot reliability (possibility of being a big hit) as compared to the reach (normal reach) production. The reach effect can be set (executed) mainly when a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern (see FIG. 9) having a variation time of 30000 ms or more is received.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described above, in the high-accuracy and high-base state (probability changing game state) after the big hit game according to any of 16R first big hit, 16R sixth big hit and RUB, the effect mode is “C”. "Is set. The production mode C of the present embodiment is a battle production mode depicting a confrontation between a friend character (also referred to as a “friend character”) and an enemy character (also referred to as an “enemy character”). In the battle effect mode, as shown in FIG. 46 (a), while the background image BH dedicated to the battle effect mode is displayed, the variable display (variation effect) of the effect symbol 8 is performed. The background image BH displays a character image CG depicting how a teammate character walks in the approximate center of the display screen 7a.

  Fluctuating effects in the battle effect mode can be broadly divided into “non-battle effects” (non-reach effects) that do not develop into confrontation (battle) between friendly characters and enemy characters, and “battle reach effects” that develop into battles. are categorized. Among these, “non-battle presentation” is set (executed) when the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is out of place, and specifically, the special symbol specified by the analysis result of the change start command in S4502. Is a variation effect (out-of-range variation effect) set (executed) when the variation pattern information is any one of P18 to P22 (see FIG. 9).

  On the other hand, the “battle reach effect” is set (executed) when the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is a big hit, and specifically, the special symbol specified by the analysis result of the change start command in S4502. This is a variation effect (hit variation effect) set (executed) when the variation pattern information is any one of P12 to P14 (see FIG. 9). That is, when the battle reach effect is started in the battle effect mode (highly accurate and high base state) (when developed into a battle), the big hit is determined at that time. In the battle reach production, there are “first battle reach production” where the ally character wins and “second battle reach production” where the ally character is defeated (enemy character wins), each battle reach production In addition, there are provided a pattern in which the friendly character first strikes (a friendly first pattern) and a pattern in which the enemy character strikes first (an enemy first pattern).

  In the first battle reach production (winning of a teammate character), the jackpot type (symbol information) specified by the analysis result of the change start command in S4502 is either 16R sixth jackpot or RUB (see FIGS. 6 and 8). Is set (executed). On the other hand, the second battle reach effect (team character defeat) is set (executed) when the jackpot type (symbol information) is either 16R eleventh jackpot or 2R jackpot (see FIGS. 6 and 8). And when the 1st battle reach production (Allied character victory) is set, the setting possibility (selectability) of the friendly first pattern is higher than the setting possibility (selectability) of the enemy first pattern. (For example, 30% for the enemy preemptive pattern and 70% for the friendly preemptive pattern) When the 2nd battle reach production (friend character defeat) is set, the preemptive pattern is determined by the setability (selectability) of the friendly preemptive pattern Is more likely to be set (selectability is possible) (for example, 30% for the team-first pattern and 70% for the enemy-first pattern).

  Next, in S4506, a process related to the setting of the recreation effect (notification effect setting process) is performed (S4506). In this embodiment, there are various types such as a notice effect (holding pre-reading notice) based on the effect hold information (preliminary determination result) stored in S4400 and a notice effect (current change notice) related to the current special figure fluctuation display (variable effect). In S4506, it is determined whether or not to execute each notice effect (execution presence / absence), and the execution pattern of the notice effect to be executed (notice effect pattern) is set in S4506. Or Specifically, based on the random number for determining the notice effect obtained in S4501 and the notice effect determination table stored in the ROM of the sub-control board 90, the presence / absence of the notice effect and the notice effect pattern are determined. A notice effect pattern is set based on the result.

  In addition, the storage contents of the production hold information stored in S4400 (the storage contents of the production hold information storage area) and the result of the special symbol success / failure determination specified by the analysis result of the change start command in S4502 (this special figure change) The result of the determination of whether or not it relates to the display), and the notice effect pattern set in S4506 based on the variation pattern information of the special symbol specified by the analysis result of the variation start command (the variation pattern and the stop symbol related to the current special diagram variation display) That is, the type of notice effect to be executed (notice type), the form, the presence / absence of the notice effect, and the like are different. Also, when executing a notice effect, one of the plurality of notice effects may be performed (one kind of notice effect), or two or more notice effects (multiple kinds of notice effects) may be combined. In other words, a plurality of types of notice effects may be performed at each execution timing during one variation display (during variation effects).

  Next, in S4507, the sub output buffer includes a variable effect start command for starting the effect symbol game effect (change effect display, notice effect, etc.) based on the change effect pattern set in S4505 and the notice effect pattern set in S4506. Set (S4507) and finish the variation production start process. When the variation effect start command set in S4507 is transmitted to the image control board 100 by the command transmission process (S4006), the image control microcomputer 101 determines the variation effect pattern specified based on the variation effect start command, that is, S4505. Preliminary effect image data specified based on predetermined change effect image data (image data indicating change start, change in progress, change stop, etc. of the effect design 8) corresponding to the change effect pattern set in (1). That is, predetermined notice effect image data corresponding to the notice effect pattern set in S4506 is read out from the ROM of the image control board 100, and a change effect display, a notice effect, and the like based on the read image data are displayed on the image display device 7. It is executed on the display screen 7a. Moreover, the fluctuation display (flashing display) by two LEDs on the effect display 102 is also executed.

  Here, in this embodiment, a battle effect is provided as a notice effect that can appear in the battle effect mode (effect mode C). The battle effect is mainly produced by a notice effect (holding look-ahead notice) based on the effect hold information (preliminary determination result) stored in S4400, and a notice effect related to the current special figure change display (change effect) (the change notice). It is the structure which performs the squeeze effect which concerns on the said change notice through the squeeze effect which concerns on a reservation prefetch notice. In the following, the details of the battle setting effect processing and the battle setting effect performed in the notice effect setting processing (S4506) will be described.

[Battle talk setting processing]
As shown in FIG. 43, in the battle setting effect setting process (S4600), it is first determined whether or not the value of the effect counter set in the process of S4604 described later is “0 (zero)” (S4601). If “0” (YES in S4601), the process of S4602 is performed. If not “0” (NO in S4601), the process proceeds to S4605 without performing the processes of S4602 to S4604. Here, the effect counter is set when a determination result indicating that the battle effect is to be performed is obtained in the battle effect execution determination (S4602), which will be described later, and is a counter indicating the number of execution times of the battle effect. . In the present embodiment, when the battle effect is executed, the battle effect is performed once for one change display of the special symbol, that is, for one change display (variation effect) of the effect symbol 8. If the value of the production counter is not “0” (NO in S4601), the battle production effect has already been executed (started) and the number of executions of the production still remains, that is, the execution period of the battle production effect. Means being inside. For this reason, when it is determined in S4601 that the value of the effect counter is not “0”, there is no need to newly perform a process for starting the battle effect, so the processes of S4602 to S4604 are not performed. The process proceeds to S4605. It should be noted that the gaming state during the battle effect mode is a highly accurate and high-base state, and is a state in which the game ball is advanced by entering the second start port 21 by hitting the right hand. For this reason, the change display of the special symbol which is the execution target of the battle effect is, in principle, the change display of the second special symbol (second special figure hold).

  Next, in S4602, a determination is made as to whether or not to execute (start) a battle-making effect (battle-making effect execution determination) (S4602). In the present embodiment, the execution conditions for the battle effect are defined as follows. First, as the first condition (first condition), it is determined that the current special figure 2 reserved ball number is a predetermined number or more, specifically, “3” or more. This is because, during the battle production mode, the base state is highly accurate and the fluctuation time reduction function works, so that the special symbol fluctuation time per one time (special figure fluctuation time) tends to be short (the short time state of FIG. 9). This is because a certain period of execution is required to enhance the effect of the battle effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, the special figure 2 reserved ball number is “3” or more, that is, the variation display of the special symbol is secured three times or more (upper limit of 4 times). Is one of the execution conditions. For this reason, when performing the battle effect, it is executed over a continuous display of a special symbol (second special diagram) a plurality of times (in this example, three times or four times) (variable display of the effect symbol 8). It will be. The determination related to the special figure 2 reserved ball number is made based on the production hold information (stored contents of the production hold information storage area) stored in S4400 described above.

  Next, as the second condition (second condition), it is determined that the winning lottery for the battle effect will be won. This execution lottery is performed when the first condition is satisfied, that is, when the special figure 2 reserved ball number is “3” or “4”, and the random number for determining the notice effect obtained in S4501 is used. It is a lottery. When the execution lottery is won, the determination result that the battle effect is executed (YES in S4603), and when the selection is lost, the determination result that the battle effect is not executed (NO in S4603).

  In this embodiment, the probability of winning the battle draw effect lottery is specified as the presence or absence of specific hold, that is, the third or fourth second special figure hold among three or more second special figure hold is specified. Different depending on whether it is on hold. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the random number range of the notice effect determination random number is “0 to 99”, and when the specific hold is not included in the three or more second special figure hold, the notice effect If the value of the random number for determination is “0 to 9”, it is a win (determination result to execute the battle effect), otherwise it is a defeat (determination result to not execute the battle effect). That is, when the special figure 2 holding ball number is “3” or more and there is no specific holding, the execution probability of the battle effect is 10% (10/100).

  On the other hand, if the third or fourth second special figure hold is a specific hold, if the value of the random number for determining the notice effect is “41 to 70”, the winning result (the determination result that the battle effect is executed) Otherwise, it is a loss (determination result indicating that the battle effect is not executed). That is, when the special figure 2 holding ball number is “3” or more and there is a specific holding, the execution probability of the battle effect is 30% (30/100).

  Here, the specific hold will be described. As described above, the fluctuating effects in the battle effect mode are mainly composed of “non-battle effects (non-reach effects)” and “battle reach effects”, and when the battle reach effects are started (battle When it develops), the big hit is decided at that time. In other words, during the battle effect mode, if any of the 16R 6 big hits, RUB, 16R 11 big hits and 2R big hits (see FIGS. 6 and 8) is won, the variation display of the second special symbol related to the big wins will be made. A battle reach effect is performed as a corresponding variable effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, the big hit hold (big hit hold), which is the trigger for executing the battle reach effect, is set as the specific hold. Also, among the battle reach effects, the 16R sixth jackpot and the RUB jackpot hold that will trigger the execution of the first battle reach effect (friend character victory) is set as the first specific hold, and the second battle reach effect (ally character defeat) is executed. The 16R eleventh jackpot and the 2R jackpot hold that become the trigger are set as the second specific hold. That is, the first specific hold and the second specific hold are set as the specific hold. The determination as to whether or not it is such a specific hold (first specific hold or second specific hold) is stored in the above-described S4400 in the same manner as the determination related to the special figure 2 held ball number (determination related to the first condition). This is performed based on the production hold information (the contents stored in the production hold information storage area). Note that a hold that does not correspond to any of the 16R sixth big hit, RUB, 16R eleventh big hit, and 2R big hit (the hold that does not trigger the execution of the battle reach effect) is also referred to as “non-specific hold”. That is, the hold (release hold) that triggers the execution of the non-battle effect is “non-specific hold”.

  In this way, in this embodiment, the special figure 2 reserved ball count becomes “3” or more during the battle effect mode, and the third or fourth of the second special figure hold stored at that time is the specific hold. In some cases, the execution condition of the battle effect is established with a higher probability than when it is not specific hold, and the battle effect is executed (started). Execution (start) of this battle production effect may have caused a specific hold (ie, stored), that is, a battle reach production may be performed after the battle production (that is, a big hit is determined) It is possible to suggest (notice) to the player that there is. That is, it can be said that the battle squeak effect is a notice effect that suggests the feasibility of the battle reach effect and the possibility of a big hit. In addition, although there is no specific hold, there is a case where the execution of lottery is won and a battle is produced, but in this case, no battle reach production is performed. (Gase notice).

  Based on the above two conditions, it is determined whether or not to execute the battle effect (S4602). If it is determined not to be executed (NO in S4603), if the process is terminated and executed, ( A value that determines the number of executions is set in the effect counter (S4604). Here, if there is a specific hold (stored), the number of special figure 2 hold balls corresponding to the specific hold is set, and if there is no specific hold (not stored), the current hold Special figure 2 The number of reserved balls is set. Specifically, if there is a specific hold, for example, if the third second special figure hold is a specific hold (see FIG. 45 (a)), the production counter is set to “3”, 4 If the second second special figure hold is a specific hold (see FIG. 45B), “4” is set in the effect counter. Also, if there is no specific hold, for example, if the special figure 2 hold ball number at that time (at the time of execution determination of S4602) is “3” (see FIG. 45C), “3” is set in the effect counter. And the special figure 2 reserved ball number is “4” (see FIG. 45D), “4” is set to the effect counter. The second special figure hold (the third second special figure hold or the fourth second special figure hold) that triggers the setting of the value in the effect counter in this way is the trigger for executing the battle effect.

  In the present embodiment, the set value is stored in a predetermined storage area (execution count storage area) provided in the RAM of the sub-control board 90 in accordance with the setting of the effect counter in S4604. The value of the effect counter set in S4604 is subject to subtraction by the processing of S4606, which will be described later, but the value of the effect counter (initial set value) stored in the execution count storage area is not subject to subtraction. It is stored until the value becomes “0”. In this way, the value of the effect counter (initial set value) set in S4604 is stored in the execution frequency storage area in the setting of the second and subsequent turn-up effect patterns (S4605). This is because it can be specified by comparing the current value of the production counter with the stored initial counter value of the production counter.

  Next, in S4605, an effect pattern (surrender effect pattern) of the battle effect to be executed is set (S4605). The setting of the production effect pattern in S4605 is performed following the processing of S4604 (production counter set), and it is determined in S4601 that the value of the production counter is not “0” (“1” or more) (S4601). And NO) followed by two cases. Of the two types, in the former case, the first (first) effect pattern of the battle effect is set, and in the latter case, the second and subsequent effect patterns of the battle effect are set. It becomes. In the present embodiment, a predetermined effect pattern is set for the first effect pattern, and for the second and subsequent effect patterns, the random number for determining the notice effect obtained in S4501 and the effect shown in FIG. A rotting effect pattern determined (selected) based on the pattern determination table is set. The roaring effect pattern set in S4605 is a kind of notice effect pattern set in the process of S4506 (notice effect setting process) described above. The details of the battle effect, such as the effect effect pattern and the effect effect pattern determination table, will be described later.

  When the turn effect pattern is set in S4605, the value of the effect counter is decremented by 1 (S4606), and the process ends. Thereafter, in S4507 described above, a change effect start command including information (identifiable information) for specifying the turn effect pattern set in S4605 is set in the sub output buffer and transmitted to the image control board 100. Then, the image control microcomputer 101 stores the variation effect image data corresponding to the variation effect pattern specified based on the variation effect start command and the predetermined effect effect image data corresponding to the effect effect pattern in the ROM of the image control board 100. The effect display by the read image data is executed on the display screen 7 a of the image display device 7.

[Battle production]
Next, the battle squeak effect will be described in detail. As described above, when executing the battle effect, the effect is set in S4605 of the battle effect setting process (S4600), and the battle effect is performed based on the set effect effect pattern. It has become. In the present embodiment, as described above, the battle effect is performed over (or straddling) the variation display of three or four consecutive special symbols (here, the second special diagram). Of the three or four round productions that make up this battle production, the production pattern of the first round production is shown in FIG. 46 (regardless of the content of the production hold information (stored content in the production hold information storage area). The roaring effect image shown in b) is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7.

  Specifically, in the battle effect mode, as shown in FIG. 46A, a background image BH dedicated to the battle effect mode is usually displayed. With the background image BH in the background, while the variation display of the effect symbol 8 (variation effect) is performed, if the execution condition for the battle effect is satisfied (YES in S4602 and S4603), the effect pattern of the first effect in S4605 is obtained. The set effect image AE (see FIG. 46 (b)) based on this is displayed on the display screen 7a with the start of the variation display of the next effect symbol 8 (the variation display of the second special diagram). 46B is displayed as a background instead of the background image BH, and is displayed until the battle effect (the execution period of the battle effect) ends. Therefore, during the execution period of the battle effect, the variation display (variation effect) of the effect symbol 8 is performed against the background of the beat effect image AE. From this, it can be said that the roaring effect image AE is a kind of background image. In FIG. 46B, for convenience of explanation, the changing effect symbol 8 and the second effect reservation 9b (see FIG. 46A) are not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 46 (b), the roaring effect image AE mainly includes an ally panel image MP simulating a panel on which the face of the ally character is drawn, and an enemy panel simulating the panel on which the face of the enemy character is drawn. It consists of an image TP. In the effect pattern of the first roaring effect, the teammate panel image MP appears (moves and displays) from the right side to the left side of the display screen 7a, and the enemy panel image TP appears from the left side to the right side of the display screen 7a ( Display), and both panels collide at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the display screen 7a and face each other. In FIG. 46 (b), the friend panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP appear from the left and right by the execution of the first roaring effect, respectively, at approximately the center of the display screen 7a (position “0” in FIG. 46). It shows a state of collision and confrontation (initial state). In FIG. 46 (b), the sawtooth line extending up and down at the approximate center in the left-right direction is a boundary line L displayed as indicating the boundary between the teammate panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP in a collision state. is there. In FIG. 46B, three dotted lines extending vertically apart from the boundary line L and the signs “+1”, “0”, and “−1” are all the effect patterns ( This is given for convenience in order to explain the progress mode) and is not actually displayed.

  After the first turn production, the turn production for the number of times based on the value of the production counter set in S4604 described above, that is, if “3” is set in the production counter, the second production production, “ If “4” is set, the second to fourth rounding effects are performed. In the second and subsequent roaring effects, the ally panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP are displayed so that the boundary line L is displayed at any position of “0”, “+1”, and “−1” for each roaring effect. (That is, the turning effect image AE) is moved and displayed leftward or rightward. This movement display realizes an effect display representing the push-in of the friend panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP.

  Further, in this embodiment, in such second and subsequent turn effects, when the teammate panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP (turn effect effect image AE) move leftward or rightward, as shown in FIG. A cut-in effect for displaying a cut-in effect image on the display screen 7a is also performed. The cut-in effects include an ally cut-in effect that generates a cut-in of an ally character displayed in the ally panel image MP, and an enemy cut-in effect that generates a cut-in of an enemy character displayed in the enemy panel image TP. Yes, each cut-in effect is performed using the cut-in effect image shown in FIG.

  Each of the cut-in effect images (friend cut-in effect image and enemy cut-in effect image) of the friend cut-in effect and the enemy cut-in effect has different vertical lengths 2 in the cut-in area RY (cut-in frame). There are various types of cut-in effect images. Specifically, a large cut-in effect image (large display size) in which the length in the vertical direction of the cut-in area RY (cut-in frame) is relatively long, and the vertical direction of the cut-in area RY (cut-in frame) A small cut-in effect image (small display size) having a relatively short length is provided for each of the ally cut-in effect image and the enemy cut-in effect image. FIG. 47A shows a large cut-in effect image MC1 and a small cut-in effect image MC2 for an ally cut-in effect, and FIG. 47B shows a large cut-in effect image TC1 and a small one for an enemy cut-in effect. A cut-in effect image TC2 is shown. The ally cut-in effect using the large cut-in effect image MC1 is also referred to as “ally cut-in large”, and the ally cut-in effect using the small cut-in effect image MC2 is also referred to as “ally cut-in small”. The enemy cut-in effect using the large cut-in effect image TC1 is also referred to as “enemy cut-in large”, and the enemy cut-in effect using the small cut-in effect image TC2 is also referred to as “enemy cut-in small”. Say.

  In this embodiment, in the second and subsequent turn effects, when the teammate panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP (turnover effect image AE) move to the left ("+1" side), in principle, the ally cut-in small or ally When a large cut-in is executed (generated) (see FIGS. 48 (a1) and (a2)) and moving in the right direction ("-1" side), in principle, the enemy cut-in is small or the enemy cut-in is performed. Large is executed (generated) (see FIGS. 48B1 and 48B2). However, the ally cut-in small and the enemy cut-in small may be executed (generated) even when the ally panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP (turning effect image AE) do not move in either the left-right direction.

  In the second and subsequent turn effects performed in this way, when the boundary line L is at the position “0” (initial position), the ratio of the ally panel image MP displayed on the display screen 7a to the display screen 7a Similarly, the ratio of the enemy panel image TP occupying the display screen 7a (also referred to as “screen occupancy ratio”) is substantially equal to each other (see FIG. 46B). On the other hand, when the boundary line L is at the position “+1” (see FIG. 48 (a2)), the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP is larger than the screen occupancy rate of the enemy panel image TP. In other words, the screen occupation ratio of the enemy panel image TP is smaller than the screen occupation ratio of the friendly panel image MP. Further, when the border line L of the roaring effect image AE is at the position “−1” (see FIG. 48 (b 2)), the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP is higher than the screen occupancy rate of the enemy panel image TP. Get smaller. In other words, the screen occupation ratio of the enemy panel image TP is larger than the screen occupation ratio of the friendly panel image MP. Due to such changes in the screen occupancy rates of the friendly panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP, the superiority or inferiority of the pressing status of the friendly panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP is expressed. For example, as shown in FIG. 48 (a2), when the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP is larger than the screen occupancy rate of the enemy panel image TP, the ally is dominant (enemy inferior), and as shown in FIG. 48 (b2). When the screen occupancy rate of the enemy panel image TP is larger than the screen occupancy rate of the teammate panel image MP, enemy superiority (friend inferiority) occurs.

  Then, in the last round production, whether the friend panel image MP or the enemy panel image TP is displayed on the entire display screen 7a after pressing the friend panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP (FIG. 48C). ), See (d)), and erased the effect image AE (friend panel image MP and enemy panel image TP) displayed so far from the display screen 7a, and the background image BH shown in FIG. 46 (a) Return to the state where is displayed. In the present embodiment, when the battle effect is executed (started) without any specific hold (that is, in the case of a gaze notice), the effect image AE that has been displayed so far is deleted.

  On the other hand, when performing (starting) a battle effect with the presence (memory) of a specific hold, a battle reach effect with a variable display accompanying digestion of the specific hold (first specific hold or second specific hold) A panel image (a friend panel image MP or an enemy panel image TP) corresponding to the effect pattern is displayed on the entire display screen 7a. Specifically, if the production pattern of the battle reach production (the first battle reach production or the second battle reach production) is “a team-first pattern”, the team panel image MP is displayed on the entire screen (FIG. 48C). In the case of the “enemy first pattern”, the enemy panel image TP is displayed on the entire screen (see FIG. 48D). That is, in the last round production effect in the battle production effect triggered by the presence (memory) of the specific hold, the result of pressing the ally panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP in the production production performed so far is shown. By displaying the friend panel image MP on the entire display screen 7a, the screen occupation ratio of the friend panel image MP becomes 100%, and by displaying the enemy panel image TP on the entire display screen 7a, the enemy panel image The screen occupancy rate of TP is 100%.

  The above is the outline of the battle production effect of the present embodiment. Among such battle production effects, the production pattern of the second and later production effects, that is, the display of the production effect image AE in the second and later production productions. The mode is set for each start of the variable display of the effect symbol 8 (every start of the variable effect) in the process of S4605 described above. Reference is made to the turn effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 44 when making this setting. As shown in FIG. 44, in this embodiment, two types of tables are prepared as the turn-up effect pattern determination table. Among them, the table shown in FIG. 44 (a) is used to determine the effect pattern of the turn effect before the final round among the second and subsequent turn effects. The table shown in FIG. 44 (b). Is used to determine the production pattern of the last round production. For example, if “3” is set in the effect counter in S4604, the second turn effect pattern is determined using the table shown in FIG. 44A, and the third turn effect pattern is shown in FIG. It is determined using the table shown below. If “4” is set in the effect counter in S4604, the second and third turn effect patterns are determined using the table shown in FIG. 44A, and the fourth turn effect pattern is shown in FIG. This is determined using the table shown in (b).

  That is, the roaring effect pattern determination table of FIG. 44 (a) is before the second special figure hold (also referred to as “execution trigger hold”, see FIG. 45) that triggers the establishment of the execution condition of the battle beat effect. Used to determine the production pattern of the roaring effect in the fluctuation display of the second special figure (variation display of the production symbol 8) accompanying the digestion of the stored second special figure reservation (also referred to as "pre-holding") It is. The determination of the turning effect pattern by this table is performed based on the determination result (preliminary determination result) of whether or not the execution trigger hold is a specific hold. From this, it can be said that the turn effect pattern determination table of FIG. 44A is a turn effect pattern determination table for reservation prefetch notice (also referred to as “prefetch”).

  On the other hand, the turn effect pattern determination table of FIG. 44B is used to determine the effect pattern of the turn effect in the change display of the second special figure (change display of the effect symbol 8) accompanying the digestion of the execution opportunity hold. Is. The determination of the turn effect pattern by this table is performed based on the change effect pattern of the change display (the change) accompanying the digestion of the execution opportunity hold. From this, it can be said that the turn effect pattern determination table of FIG. 44B is an effect pattern determination table for the change notice (also referred to as “for change”).

  Describing in detail about the turn-up effect pattern determination table, first, the turn-reading turn-up effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 44 (a) shows a turn-up effect pattern for each pre-determination result (pre-read result) of the execution timing suspension. ± 0 (Allies cut-in small), “Allies +1 (Allies cut-in small)”, “Allies +1 (Allies cut-in large)”, “± 0 (Enemy cut-in small)”, “Allies -1 (Enemy cut-in) The data structure can be determined as either “Small In)” or “Allies-1 (Enemy Cut-In Large)”. Specifically, for each pre-determined result of execution timing hold, a random number value for determining a notice effect is determined as “± 0 (small cut-in ally)” or “friend” +1 (Allies cut-in small), "Allies +1 (Allies cut-in large)", "± 0 (Enemy cut-in small)", "Allies -1 (Enemy cut-in small)", "Allies -1 (Enemy cut-in) In large)). In the present embodiment, since the random number range of the random number for determining the notice effect is “0 to 99”, the random number value (determination data) is assigned within the range of “0 to 99”.

  To supplement such a data structure, as described above, in S4603, when performing execution determination of a battle effect, referring to the production hold information stored in S4400 (stored contents of the production hold information storage area), 3 It is determined whether or not the second or fourth second special figure hold is a specific hold. And when it is specific hold, the 3rd or 4th 2nd special figure hold corresponding to the specific hold becomes execution trigger hold, and when it is not specific hold, the 3rd or 4th that does not correspond to the specific hold The second special figure hold becomes the execution trigger hold (see FIG. 45). Depending on whether or not the execution trigger hold is a specific hold (that is, the advance determination result of the execution trigger hold), the determination condition of the rotting effect pattern (distribution of determination data) is determined.

  In the look-ahead effect pattern determination table for pre-reading, “first specific hold”, “second specific hold”, and “gase” are set in the table row as pre-determination results (pre-read results) of execution trigger hold. Yes. Among these, “GASE” is a column that is referred to when the execution trigger hold is not a specific hold (when it is a non-specific hold). That is, it is a column that is referred to when a battle effect is performed in a situation where the specific hold is not stored (see FIGS. 45C and 45D). The “first specific hold” is referred to when the execution opportunity hold is a big hit hold related to any of the 16R sixth big hit and the RUB, which becomes the execution opportunity of the first battle reach production (a teammate character win). Is a column. That is, it is a column that is referred to when a battle turning effect is performed in a situation where the first specific hold is stored (assuming execution of the first battle reach effect). Further, “second specific hold” is referred to when the execution trigger hold is a big hit hold related to either the 16R 11th big hit or the 2R big hit, which becomes the execution opportunity of the second battle reach production (ally character defeat). This is a column. That is, it is a column that is referred to when a battle effect is performed in a situation where the second specific hold is stored (assuming execution of the second battle reach effect).

  Next, a description will be given of a turn effect pattern that can be determined (selectable) by using a pre-read turn effect pattern determination table. As shown in FIG. 44 (a), in the present embodiment, with respect to the roaring effect as the pre-reading notice, the roaring effect pattern is determined based on the movement (movement amount) of the teammate panel image MP. Specifically, the turn effect pattern of “± 0” is a pattern in which the ally panel image MP displayed on the display screen 7a does not move in either the left or right direction, and the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP (in other words, This is a pattern in which the screen occupation ratio of the enemy panel image TP does not change. For example, when a turning effect based on the turn effect pattern of “± 0” is performed from the state shown in FIG. 46B, the friend panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) does not move in the turn effect, and the boundary line L remains displayed at the position “0”.

  Further, in the roaring effect pattern “ally +1”, the ally panel image MP displayed on the display screen 7a moves leftward (“+1” side in FIG. 46B), and the enemy panel image TP is moved to the left side. The screen occupancy rate of the friendly panel image MP increases (in other words, the screen occupancy rate of the enemy panel image TP decreases). For example, when performing a roaring effect based on the roaring effect pattern of “ally +1” from the state shown in FIG. The boundary line L is displayed at the position “+1” (see FIG. 48 (a2)). It is to be noted that the roaring effect pattern “ally +1” is obtained when the intervals of “+1”, “0”, and “−1” shown in FIG. This is a pattern in which the image TP) is moved to the left by one step. For this reason, for example, when a roaring effect based on the roaring effect pattern of “ally +1” is performed from the state shown in FIG. After moving one step, the boundary line L is displayed at the position “0” (see FIG. 46B).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the movement display of the ally panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) based on the roaring effect pattern by the pre-reading roaring effect pattern determination table (moving display by the roaring effect at the time of pre-holding digestion) This is performed within the range of “−1” to “+1” shown in 46 (b). For this reason, for example, if a roaring effect based on the roaring effect pattern “ally +1” is performed from the state shown in FIG. 48 (a2), the friend panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) do not move in the roaring effect. The boundary line L remains displayed at the position “+1”.

  Further, in the roaring effect pattern “ally-1”, the friend panel image MP displayed on the display screen 7a moves to the right (“−1” side in FIG. 46B), and the enemy panel image TP. The screen occupancy rate of the teammate panel image MP decreases (in other words, the screen occupancy rate of the enemy panel image TP increases). For example, when a roaring effect is performed based on the roaring effect pattern of “ally-1” from the state shown in FIG. The boundary line L is displayed at the position “−1” (see FIG. 48B2). Note that the fondling effect pattern of “ally-1” is the same as the wiping effect pattern of “ally + 1”, and the ally panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) is represented by “−1” to “-1” shown in FIG. This is a pattern in which one step is moved in the right direction within the range of “+1”. For this reason, for example, if a roaring effect based on the roaring effect pattern “ally-1” is performed from the state shown in FIG. The boundary line L is displayed at the position “0” (see FIG. 46B). Further, when a roaring effect based on the roaring effect pattern of “friend-1” is performed from the state shown in FIG. The line L remains displayed at the position “−1”.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described above, a cut-in effect is performed when moving and displaying the friend panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP). Therefore, each of the “± 0”, “ally +1” and “ally −1” roaring effect patterns includes a cut-in effect effect pattern. Specifically, the “ally +1” roaring pattern (an allied dominant pattern) that increases the screen occupancy of the allied panel image MP includes a “friendly cut-in small” cut-in effect, "Including" large cut-in effects. In addition, as a “friend-1” roaring pattern (an ally inferior pattern) that reduces the screen occupancy of the teammate panel image MP, a “enemy cut-in small” cut-in effect and an “enemy cut-in large” The one that includes the cut-in production is provided.

  In addition, the “± 0” roaring effect pattern that does not change the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP includes the “friend cut-in small” cut-in effect and the “enemy cut-in small” cut-in effect. Things are provided. The reason for including the “cut-in small” cut-in effect in the “± 0” turn-off effect pattern is to differentiate it from the “cut-in large” cut-in effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the “cut-in large” cut-in effect is performed (when it occurs), the ally panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) always move in either the left or right direction. When the “cut-in small” cut-in effect is performed (when it occurs), the teammate panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) may move in either the left or right direction or may not move. It is for doing so.

  48. In the turning effect based on the turning effect pattern including the “cut-in large” cut-in effect, after performing the cut-in effect as shown in FIGS. 48 (a1) and 48 (b1), FIG. 48 (a2) and FIG. As shown in 48 (b2), the teammate panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) is moved and displayed in the left direction or the right direction. Further, in the turning effect based on the turning effect pattern including the “cut-in small” cut-in effect, the small cut-in effect image TC2 shown in FIG. 47 (a) and the small cut-in effect image TC2 shown in FIG. 47 (b) are used. After performing the cut-in effect, the teammate panel image MP (and the enemy panel image TP) is moved and displayed in the left direction or the right direction, or is displayed in the position as it is without being moved and displayed.

  That is, when the screen occupancy ratio of the cut-in effect image displayed on the display screen 7a by the execution of the cut-in effect is relatively large, it corresponds to the type of the cut-in effect (friend cut-in or enemy cut-in). The screen occupancy of the panel image (friend panel MP or enemy panel image TP) is increased by one step triggered by the execution of the cut-in effect. On the other hand, when the screen occupancy rate of the cut-in effect image displayed on the display screen 7a by the execution of the cut-in effect is relatively small, it corresponds to the type of the cut-in effect (friend cut-in or enemy cut-in). The screen occupancy rate of the panel image (the friendly panel MP or the enemy panel image TP) increases by one step or does not change when the cut-in effect is executed.

  Using the scoring effect pattern determination table (see FIG. 44 (a)) in which these pre-reading scoring effect patterns are determined, the effect pattern of the scoring effect with the pre-holding digestion is determined (selected). In this case, when the execution opportunity hold is the first specific hold, the screen rate of the friend panel image MP is higher than the selection rate (65%) of the “ring +1” roaring effect pattern in which the screen occupancy of the friend panel image MP increases. The occupancy rate is higher than the selection rate (25%) of the roaring effect pattern of “ally-1”. Also, when paying attention to cut-in effects, the selection rate (70%) of the roaring effect pattern including the ally cut-in effect is higher than the selection rate (30%) of the roaring effect pattern including the enemy cut-in effect. Among them, the selection rate (40%) of the roaring effect pattern including the ally cut-in size (high screen occupancy rate) is high.

  On the other hand, when the execution opportunity hold is the second specific hold, the selection rate (65%) of the roaring effect pattern of “ally-1” in which the screen occupancy rate of the friend panel image MP is small is greater in the friend panel image MP. It is higher than the selection rate (25%) of the “ringing +1” roaring effect pattern in which the screen occupancy rate increases. In addition, when focusing on cut-in effects, the selection rate (70%) of the roaring effect pattern including the enemy cut-in effect is higher than the selection rate (30%) of the roaring effect pattern including the ally cut-in effect. Among them, the selection rate (40%) of the roaring effect pattern including the enemy cut-in size (large screen occupancy rate) is high.

  Here, as described above, the first specific hold is a big hit hold (16R sixth big hit, RUB) that triggers the execution of the first battle reach effect. There is a preemptive pattern. In addition, the second specific hold is a big hit hold (16R 11th big hit, 2R big hit) that triggers the execution of the second battle reach effect, and the second battle reach effect also has a friendship preemptive pattern and an enemy preemptive pattern To do. As described above, in the first battle reach production, the friendship first pattern is more selectable (selection rate) than the enemy first pattern, and in the second battle reach production, the enemy first pattern However, the possibility of selection (selection rate) is higher than that of the friendly first-order pattern.

  In accordance with this, in the turn-reading effect pattern determination table for prefetching, when the execution opportunity hold is the first specific hold, it is easy to select a turn effect pattern that increases the screen occupancy ratio of the teammate panel image MP. When the opportunity hold is the second specific hold, the screen effect ratio of the friend panel image MP becomes small (the screen share ratio of the enemy panel image TP becomes large), and the rolling effect pattern is easily selected. Moreover, even if paying attention to the cut-in effect, when the execution trigger hold is the first specific hold, it is easy to select the turn-off effect pattern including the ally cut-in effect, and the execution trigger hold is the second specific hold. In this case, it is easy to select a roaring effect pattern including an enemy cut-in effect.

  For this reason, among the effects of fluctuating effects due to pre-holding, the effects of increasing the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP and the occurrence of ally cut-in effects are “ It can be said that the possibility of “execution of” or “occurrence of 16R sixth big hit or RUB” increases. In other words, it can be said that the production is highly expected to suggest that there is a high possibility that the game development is advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the effects that the screen occupancy ratio of the teammate panel image MP is reduced or the enemy cut-in effect occurs are “execution of enemy reach-based battle reach effect” or “occurrence of 16R 11th big hit or 2R big hit” It can be said that the production is more likely. In other words, it can be said that the production suggests that there is a possibility that the game development may be disadvantageous to the player.

  As shown in FIG. 44 (a), when the execution trigger hold is non-specific hold (off hold), that is, when it is a gusset, the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP is increased. The selection rate (34%) of the production pattern is the same as the selection rate (34%) of the roaring production pattern of “ally-1” in which the screen occupancy rate of the teammate panel image MP is small. In addition, even when focusing on the cut-in effect, the selection rate (50%) of the roaring effect pattern including the ally cut-in effect is the same as the selection rate (50%) of the roaring effect pattern including the enemy cut-in effect. ing. And when the selection rate in the case of these gussets is compared with the selection rate in the case where the execution opportunity hold is the first specific hold, the selection rate (65 %) Is higher. Further, when the selection rate in the case of Gase and the selection rate in the case where the execution trigger hold is the second specific hold, the selection rate related to the second specific hold (65 %) Is higher. From this, the effect that the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP increases or the ally cut-in effect occurs suggests that the possibility of occurrence of the 16R sixth big hit or RUB is high (big hit reliability). It can be said that it is a production. On the other hand, an effect that the screen occupancy ratio of the friendly panel image MP is reduced or an enemy cut-in effect is generated is an effect that suggests that there is a high possibility of occurrence of a 16R 11th big hit or a 2R big hit (big hit reliability). It can be said.

  Next, the fluctuation effect pattern determination table for variation shown in FIG. 44 (b) will be described. The fluctuation effect pattern determination table for change includes the type of the effect display pattern that can be determined (selectable) according to the effect pattern of the change effect accompanying the digestion of the execution opportunity hold, “Allies Panel Display”, “Enemy Panel” Either “Display all” or “Panel erase”. In other words, the effect pattern of the roaring effect in accordance with the effect pattern of the change effect is selected. The determination (selection) of the effect pattern by this table is the same as that described above in the execution (start) of the change effect pattern related to the change display of the second special figure accompanying the digestion of the execution opportunity hold, that is, the change display of the second special figure. This is performed based on the variation effect pattern set in the process of S4505. In the table shown in FIG. 44B, “◯” indicates an effect pattern to be selected (selected), and “-” indicates an effect pattern not to be selected (not selected). ing.

  Specifically, when the execution opportunity hold is the first specific hold, and the effect pattern of the change effect (that is, the change effect pattern set in S4505) is the “first battle reach effect of the ally preemptive pattern” The production pattern of the last round production is “all panel display” (see FIG. 48C). In addition, when the execution opportunity hold is the first specific hold, and the effect pattern of the variation effect is “first battle reach effect of the enemy preemptive pattern”, the effect pattern of the last round effect is “enemy panel” The whole display "(see FIG. 48D). In addition, when the execution opportunity hold is the second specific hold and the effect pattern of the variation effect is “the second battle reach effect of the team-first pattern”, the effect pattern of the last round effect is “a friend panel” The whole display "(see FIG. 48C). In addition, when the execution opportunity hold is the second specific hold and the effect pattern of the variation effect is “the second battle reach effect of the enemy preemptive pattern”, the effect pattern of the last round effect is “enemy panel” The whole display "(see FIG. 48D). Furthermore, when the execution opportunity hold is non-specific hold, that is, when the effect pattern of the fluctuation effect is “non-battle effect” (out-of-shift effect), the effect pattern of the last turn effect is “panel erase” ( (See FIG. 46 (a)).

  As described above, the final turn effect based on the turn effect pattern determined (set) using the change turn effect pattern determination table is an aspect corresponding to the change effect effect pattern in which the turn effect is performed, that is, , It is performed in a manner corresponding to the effect pattern of the variation effect accompanying the digestion of the execution opportunity hold. If the execution opportunity hold is a specific hold, the entire screen is displayed in the variation effect after displaying either the friend panel image MP or the enemy panel image TP in the entire display screen 7a in the final turn effect. A battle reach effect (post-effect) is performed with a preemptive pattern (friend or enemy) corresponding to the type of panel image (friend or enemy) displayed on the screen. From this, it can be said that the battle effect of the present embodiment is an effect that suggests the aspect of the battle reach effect to be executed later.

[Effects of Example 1]
In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the display screen 7a of the panel image (friend panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) displayed on the display screen 7a is used as an effect pattern (skill effect effect pattern) of the battle effect. There are provided a plurality of turning effect patterns having different proportions (screen occupancy ratios) (see FIG. 44), and a battle turning effect is executed based on a pattern selected from the plurality of turning effect patterns. It has become. For this reason, depending on the roaring effect pattern selected when executing the battle roaring effect, the ratio of the panel image (friend panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) displayed on the display screen 7a occupying the display screen 7a It may be the same as the squealing effect performed earlier (the previous squealing effect) or may be smaller or larger than the previous screaming effect. As a result, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the battle sword effect (first sword effect, second and subsequent sword effects, and last sword effect).

  In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, a battle effect is displayed in which the panel images (friend panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) related to the variation display (variation effect) of the effect symbol are displayed on the display screen 7a. It is possible. In the battle effect, the ratio of the panel image (friend panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) displayed on the display screen 7a occupying the display screen 7a is smaller or larger than the beginning of the battle effect. It can be changed. As a result, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the battle sword effect (first sword effect, second and subsequent sword effects, and last sword effect).

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the roaring effect pattern can be selected based on the effect hold information (stored contents of the effect hold information storage area) related to the second special figure hold. When executing the battle effect based on the selected effect effect pattern, the execution mode of the battle effect, that is, the display mode (display screen 7a) of the panel image (friend panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) is occupied. According to the ratio), it is possible to suggest information related to the preliminary determination result of the second special figure hold, information related to the special symbol and the variation display of the effect symbol based on the determination result, and the like. Thereby, it becomes possible to attract a player's interest to a battle squeak production.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, it is possible to select a turn-up effect pattern for each of a plurality of continuous display changes of special symbols (effect designs), and when a turn-up effect pattern is selected in this way, An effect based on the selected turn effect pattern is executed in each of a plurality of continuous variable displays. That is, the battle effect can be executed across the continuous display of multiple special symbols (effect symbols). Thereby, it becomes possible to attract a player's interest over the continuous display of a variation of a plurality of special symbols (effect symbols).

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, when executing the rolling effect for each variation display of a plurality of consecutive special symbols (production symbols), the rolling effect pattern related to at least one variation display is the other It may be different from the roaring effect pattern related to the variable display. For this reason, when a rolling effect is performed every time a variation display of a plurality of consecutive special symbols (effect symbols) is performed, a panel image (a friend panel image MP, an enemy panel image TP) resulting from a battle rotation effect through the variation display of the plurality of times. The proportion of the display screen 7a can be changed. Thereby, it becomes possible to attract a player's interest over the continuous display of a variation of a plurality of special symbols (effect symbols).

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the battle reach effect performed after the battle beat effect is an aspect according to the result of the battle beat effect, that is, the friend panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP in the battle beat effect. It can be executed in a mode (friendship or enemy preemption) according to the result of the push. Specifically, the proportion of the panel image that finally occupies the display screen 7a in the final turn effect of the battle effect (in this embodiment, the screen share of the friend panel image MP or the enemy panel image TP is 100%). A battle reach effect is executed in a corresponding manner. Thereby, it becomes possible to attract a player's interest to a battle squeak production.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, the cut-in effect can be executed in the battle-blowing effect, and the cut-in effect displayed on the display screen 7a when the cut-in effect is executed as the turn-off effect pattern. It is provided with a plurality of curling effect patterns (that is, cut-in effect patterns) having different proportions of the image display screen 7a (FIG. 44 (a), FIG. 47, FIG. 48 (a1), (b1), etc.) See). For this reason, when a turn effect pattern is selected, a cut-in effect is executed together with the turn effect based on the selected turn effect pattern, but depending on the selected turn effect pattern (cut-in effect pattern), the cut The proportion of the in-effect image occupying the display screen 7a may be the same as the previously executed cut-in effect (the previous cut-in effect), or may be smaller or larger than the previous cut-in effect. Sometimes. Thereby, it becomes possible to attract a player's interest also in the cut-in production in the battle production.

  In addition, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the first embodiment, in the case where a cut-in effect of “small ally cut-in” or “small enemy cut-in” is performed in the battle-blowing effect, in principle, the panel is triggered by the cut-in effect. The proportion of the image (ally panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) occupying the display screen 7a may or may not change (see the roaring effect pattern in FIG. 44 (a)). In addition, when a “friend cut-in large” or “enemy cut-in large” cut-in effect is performed in the battle-blowing effect, in principle, the panel image (friend panel image MP, enemy panel image is triggered by the cut-in effect) TP) occupies the display screen 7a (refer to the turning effect pattern in FIG. 44A). In other words, when the cut-in effect is performed in the battle effect, the ratio of the panel image (ally panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) occupying the display screen 7a can change. For this reason, it becomes possible to notify the player that the proportion of the panel image (friend panel image MP, enemy panel image TP) occupying the display screen 7a may change due to the execution of the cut-in effect. . Thereby, it becomes possible to attract the player's interest not only in the battle effect but also in the cut-in effect.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, as a result of the determination related to the change display of the special symbol (second special symbol in this example) that is the trigger for the execution of the battle effect, that is, the determination result of the execution trigger hold (preliminary) Depending on whether the determination result is a big hit or not a big hit (a case of losing), the easy-to-select ringing effect patterns are different (see FIG. 44). Thereby, it is possible to suggest the possibility of a big hit depending on the ratio of the panel image or the cut-in effect image that occupies the display screen 7a when the battle effect is executed. As a result, it becomes possible to attract the player's interest in the battle effect or cut-in effect.

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment, as a result of the determination related to the change display of the special symbol (second special symbol in this example) that is the trigger for the execution of the battle effect, that is, the determination result of the execution trigger hold (preliminary) The determination result) is either 16R 6 big hit or RUB (ie, 1st specific hold), and 16R 11 big hit or 2R big hit (ie, 2nd specific hold). The sneaky performance patterns that are easy to select are different. Thereby, depending on the ratio of the display screen 7a of the panel image and the cut-in effect image when the battle effect is executed, the possibility of the 16R sixth big hit or RUB and the advantage for the player compared with these big hits ( It is possible to suggest the possibility of 16R 11th big hit or 2R big hit with low (dominant). As a result, it becomes possible to attract the player's interest in the battle effect or cut-in effect.

  Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the first embodiment, when the variation effect aspect related to the special symbol variation display, which is a trigger for executing the battle-throwing effect, is “first battle reach effect” (first specific hold). In the case of the “second battle reach effect” (second specific hold), the turn effect pattern that can be easily selected is different (see FIG. 44). Further, in the case of the first battle reach effect, there is a high possibility that it will be a friendly first pattern, and in the case of the second battle reach effect, there is a high possibility that it will be an enemy first pattern. Thereby, depending on the ratio of the display screen 7a of the panel image and the cut-in effect image when the battle effect is executed, the variation effect may be the first battle reach effect or the second battle reach effect. It becomes possible to suggest the possibility, and further, it is possible to suggest the possibility that the battle reach production is a friendship system or an enemy system. As a result, it becomes possible to attract the player's interest in the battle effect or cut-in effect.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, the battle effect is performed over the continuous display of special symbols multiple times (three or four times). On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment, it is assumed that a battle is produced during one special symbol variation display. Hereinafter, the configuration of the present embodiment will be described in detail. A detailed description of the configuration, operational effects, etc. common to the first embodiment will be omitted.

  In this embodiment, the “swing variation effect pattern” is not set in the low accuracy low base state and the low accuracy high base state, but is set as a selectable variation effect pattern in the high accuracy high base state (effect mode C). I have. The basic mode of the variation display of the production symbol 8 based on the swaying variation production pattern is a mode in which the temporary stop display and the next variation display (revariation) are repeated a predetermined number of times after the start of the variation display. That is, the effect design 8 is a so-called “pseudo-continuous” mode in which the effect design 8 displays the variation display a plurality of times during the special design one-time variation display. And each of the variable display of the production symbols 8 constituting the quasi-ream is performed in the first to final rounds as in the first embodiment. This is a battle change variation effect based on the change variation effect pattern of the present embodiment.

  The hit variation effect pattern of the present embodiment is the case where the battle hit effect of the first embodiment configured by “the hit effect related to the reservation prefetch notice” and “the hit effect related to the change notice” is not executed, that is, It can be set (selected) when it is not during the execution period of the battle effect described in the first embodiment. This is in order to prevent the execution of the battle effect that spans the variation display of the special symbol a plurality of times and the execution of the battle effect (surrection variation effect) using the pseudo-ream.

  Further, the variation variation effect pattern is a variation pattern in which the variation pattern of the special symbol (see FIG. 9) is any one of P12, P13, P15, P16, P19 and P21, that is, a variation pattern having a variation time of 45000 ms or 75000 ms. In some cases, it can be set (selected). This means that the longer the variation time is, the more the number of times of display (re-variation) of the effect symbol 8 by the pseudo-ream can be increased. This is because the production effect can be enhanced.

  The selection and setting of the changing effect pattern is performed based on the changing effect determining random number acquired in S4501 of the changing effect starting process (S4402) described above and the changing effect pattern determining table set in S4504. In S4504, the change effect pattern determination table corresponding to the high-accuracy base state (effect mode C) is selected from the plurality of change effect pattern determination tables corresponding to the current effect mode. One of them is provided with a turn variation effect pattern determination table shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, in the process of selecting the variation effect pattern determination table to be set in S4504, the variation pattern specified by the variation start command is a variation variation pattern other than a variation variation effect pattern and a variation variation pattern other than the variation variation effect pattern (normal variation representation). If it is not during the period of execution of the battle effect, it is acquired in S4501 whether or not to execute the effect of changing the swing (that is, the battle effect by the pseudo-ream). It is determined by determination (lottery) using a random effect determination random number. Then, when a determination result indicating that the roaring variation effect is executed is obtained, the roaring variation effect pattern determination table is selected as the variable effect pattern determination table to be referred to, and this is set.

  In addition, the probability (winning probability) that the result of executing the roaring variation effect is obtained, that is, the probability that the roaring variation effect pattern determination table is selected (set) is the special symbol success / failure determination specified by the variation start command. It differs depending on whether the result is a big hit (or whether the fluctuation pattern is a big hit fluctuation pattern). Specifically, in this embodiment, the random number range of the random effect determination random number is “0 to 99”, and when the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is a big hit, the random effect determination random number value is “41 to 70”. ”Is a determination result indicating that the roaring variation effect is to be executed, and otherwise, the determination result is that the roaring variation effect is not executed (execution probability is 30%). On the other hand, if the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is out of the range, if the value of the random effect determination random number is “16 to 25”, the determination result is that the roaring variation effect is executed, and otherwise, the roaring variation effect is displayed. It is assumed that the determination result is that execution is not performed (execution probability is 10%).

  That is, when the variation pattern of the special symbol also corresponds to the variation variation effect pattern, if the variation is a big hit variation, the variation variation effect has a probability of 30% on the condition that it is not during the execution period of the battle variation effect. Will be executed. On the other hand, if the variation is out of range, the variation variation effect is executed with a probability of 10%. From this, the possibility of executing the fluctuation variation effect is higher in the case of jackpot than in the case of losing.

  Here, the rolling variation effect pattern determination table and the rolling variation effect of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 49 (a), the fluctuation variation effect pattern determination table of the present embodiment is executed according to the result of the special symbol success / failure determination and the jackpot type determination (also referred to as “the variation determination result”). The data structure is such that the production pattern can be determined as any one of “patterns A to F”. Specifically, for each variation determination result, a random effect determination random number value is assigned to each of “patterns A to F” which are types of changeable variation patterns that can be determined (selectable). Yes. In the present embodiment, since the random number range of the random effect determination random number is set to “0 to 99”, the random value (determination data) is assigned within the range of “0 to 99”.

  The variation determination result can be specified by a special symbol success / failure determination result obtained from the analysis result of the variation start command or symbol information (big hit type) related to the stop symbol. In addition, “−” in the table shown in FIG. 49 indicates that the random effect determination random number value is not assigned, and the variation effect pattern corresponding to this is not a selection target ( Not selected).

  In the turn variation effect pattern determination table of the present embodiment, three “first identification result”, “second identification result”, and “out” are set as the variation determination result in the table row. Among these, the “first specific result” is a column referred to when the variation determination result is a big hit related to either 16R sixth big hit or RUB. The “second specific result” is a column referred to when the fluctuation determination result is a big hit related to either the 16R 11th big hit or the 2R big hit. Further, “out” is a column referred to when the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is out (non-specific result).

  Here, the “patterns A to F” shown in the turn variation effect pattern determination table of FIG. 49A are executed as individual turn effects that constitute the battle turn effect, as shown in FIG. 49B. The flow of production). Then, after the roaring effect based on these roaring variation effect patterns, a battle reach effect is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, but this battle reach effect is performed in a manner according to the variation determination result. For example, when the variation determination result is the first specific result and the variation variation production pattern is pattern A, the first variation of the pattern A is performed and the “first battle reach production (winning character wins)” is performed. When the result is the second specific result and the roaring variation effect pattern is pattern A, the “second battle reach effect (ally character defeat)” is performed through the roaring effect of pattern A. In other words, the battle effect before the battle reach effect is pattern A, and the battle reach effect after the battle effect is in a mode according to the variation determination result. In addition, when the variation determination result is off, the battle reach effect is not performed after the battle scolding effect, and a non-battle effect (outgoing variation effect) is obtained.

  The variation variation effect (the variation variation effect pattern) of the present embodiment is the “ally +1 (friend cut-in size)”, “one -1 (enemy cut-in size)”, “entire friend panel display” in the first embodiment described above. , A battle turn effect (see FIG. 46B, FIG. 48, etc.) based on the turn effect pattern of “enemy panel whole display” and “panel erase” is displayed in a variable display of a plurality of effect symbols 8 constituting the pseudo-ream. To do with each of. Further, in the present embodiment, the variation variation effect (the variation variation effect pattern) is performed by displaying the variation of the effect symbol 8 four times. That is, when the variation display of the special symbol is started, the effect symbol 8 is displayed as “variation display (first variation) → temporary stop display → revariation display (second variation) → temporary stop display → revariation display ( 3rd variation) → temporary stop display → revariation display (4th variation) ”is performed, and the production symbol 8 is stopped (decision stopped) according to the special symbol stop display (determination stop). That is, the re-variation (pseudo continuous variation) of the effect design 8 is performed three times.

  Further explaining the rolling variation effect pattern, in the first variation of the production symbol 8 in “patterns A to F”, the rolling variation image AE is displayed on the display screen 7a of the image display device 7 with the start of the variation ( (See FIG. 46 (b)). That is, the friendly panel image MP appears (moves and displays) from the right side to the left side of the display screen 7a, and the enemy panel image TP appears (moves and displays) from the left side to the right side of the display screen 7a. It produces an effect of colliding and confronting at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the display screen 7a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 49 (b), an effect is produced in a manner corresponding to each pattern. In the present embodiment, with the first variation of the production pattern 8, the production of the team panel image MP and the enemy panel image TP appearing and facing each other (see FIG. 46B) and the first production production are performed. I am going to do that.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 49 (b), in the “pattern A”, the first variation of the production symbol 8 is “ally +1 (friend cut-in size)” (FIGS. 48 (a1) and (a2)). In the second variation, “ally-1 (enemy cut-in size)” (FIG. 48 (b1), FIG. 46 (b)), and in the third variation, “ally + 1 (friend cut-in size)” (FIG. 48 (a1)). , (A2)) In the fourth variation, the “friend panel display” (FIG. 48C) is performed. That is, the third party's beat production is shown as “friend advantage”, and finally, the teammate performs an effect (by the fourth variation). In the fourth variation, after the entire team panel is displayed, a battle reach effect (first battle reach effect or second battle reach effect) according to the variation determination result (first specific result or second specific result) is displayed. , With a friendly first pattern. This is because the last roaring effect (fourth variation) is displayed on the entire team panel. This pattern develops into a team-leading battle reach production that has the potential to become a game development advantageous to the player, as the turn-up production progresses with the ally-dominant advantage, and the player's expectation increases It can be said that it is a production.

  In “Pattern B”, the first variation of the production symbol 8 is “ally -1 (enemy cut-in size)” (FIG. 48 (b1), (b2)), and the second variation is “ally +1 (ally cut-in) (Large) ”(FIG. 48 (a1), FIG. 46 (b))“ Friends -1 (Enemy Cut-in Large) ”at the third variation (FIGS. 48 (b1) and (b2)) The “entire panel display” (FIG. 48C) is performed. In other words, the third round of production is shown as “friend inferiority (enemy superiority)”, and finally (with the fourth variation), the teammate performs an effect that pushes the team in reverse. In the fourth variation, after the entire team panel is displayed, a battle reach effect (first battle reach effect or second battle reach effect) according to the variation determination result (first specific result or second specific result) is displayed. , With a friendly first pattern. This pattern will eventually evolve into a team-first battle reach production that can be a game development that is advantageous for the player, despite the fact that the production direction has been inferior (friend advantage). It can be said that the player feels relief by avoiding the possibility of an unfavorable game development and increases the expectation.

  In the “pattern C”, the first to third variations of the production pattern 8 are performed in the same manner as the “pattern B”, and “enemy panel whole display” (FIG. 48D) is performed in the fourth variation. In other words, the third round of production is shown as “friend inferiority (enemy superiority)”, and finally, the enemy pushes away (by the fourth variation). In the fourth variation, after displaying the entire enemy panel, a battle reach effect (first battle reach effect or second battle reach effect) according to the variation determination result (first specific result or second specific result) is displayed. , With an enemy preemptive pattern. This pattern will evolve into an enemy-first battle reach production that may be a disadvantageous game development for the player, as the sword production progresses with the ally inferiority (enemy advantage). It can be said that the production is discouraging.

  In the “pattern D”, the first to third variations of the effect symbol 8 are performed in the same manner as the “pattern A”, and “enemy panel whole display” (FIG. 48D) is performed in the fourth variation. In other words, until the third round of production is shown to the “friend advantage”, the final (with the fourth fluctuation), the enemy pushes back in reverse. In the fourth variation, after displaying the entire enemy panel, a battle reach effect (first battle reach effect or second battle reach effect) according to the variation determination result (first specific result or second specific result) is displayed. , With an enemy preemptive pattern. This is because the last roaring effect (fourth variation) is the entire enemy panel display. This pattern will eventually evolve into a hostile battle reach production that may be a disadvantageous game development for the player, despite the fact that the sword production has been progressing with friendly advantage. Can be said to be discouraged.

  In “pattern E”, the first to third variations of the production pattern 8 are performed in the same manner as “pattern A” and “pattern C”, and “panel erase” is performed in the fourth variation (FIG. 46A). I do. In other words, the third round production is shown as “friend advantage”, and finally the non-battle production is performed without developing into a battle (by the fourth variation). This pattern is a non-battle production that does not develop into a team-first battle reach production that can be a game development advantageous to the player at the end, despite the fact that the beat production has progressed with friendly advantage Therefore, it can be said to be a disappointment for the player.

  In “pattern F”, the first to third variations of the production pattern 8 are performed in the same manner as “pattern B” and “pattern D”, and “panel erase” is performed in the fourth variation (FIG. 46A). I do. In other words, the third round production is shown as “friend inferiority (enemy superiority)”, and finally the non-battle production is performed without developing into a battle (by the fourth variation). In this pattern, whispering production was progressing due to inferiority (enemy superiority), but in the end, non-battle production will be performed without developing into enemy-first battle reach production that may be a disadvantageous game development for the player Therefore, it can be said that the player feels a sense of relief by avoiding the possibility of an unfavorable game development.

  When determining (selecting) the rolling variation effect pattern (the variation mode of the rendering symbol 8) using the rolling variation rendering pattern determination table of FIG. 49 (a), the determination of whether or not the special symbol related to the variation rendering is successful and the jackpot type determination are performed. When the result (that is, the variation determination result) is the first specific result, the selection rate (55%) of the patterns A and D in which the screen occupancy rate of the teammate panel image MP is larger is the screen of the teammate panel image MP. Occupancy rate is higher than the selection rate (45%) of the patterns B and C, and among the patterns A to D, the selection rate (40%) of the pattern A in which the entire team panel image MP is finally displayed. Is the highest. Further, the selection rate (70%) of the patterns A and B in which the entire friend panel image MP is finally displayed is 70%, and the selection rate (30%) of the patterns C and D in which the enemy panel image TP is finally displayed is finally displayed. It is higher than Furthermore, when paying attention to the cut-in effect, the selection rate (55%) of the patterns A and D including the ally cut-in size twice (55%) is the selection rate (45 of the patterns B and C including the enemy cut-in size twice). %), And among patterns A to D, the selection rate (40%) of pattern A in which the entire team panel image MP is finally displayed is the highest.

  On the other hand, when the variation determination result is the second specifying result, the screen occupancy of the teammate panel image MP is lower with the selection rate (55%) of the patterns B and C where the screen occupancy of the ally panel image MP is smaller. It is higher than the selection rate (45%) of the larger patterns A and D, and among the patterns A to D, the selection rate (40%) of the pattern C in which the enemy panel image TP is finally displayed is the highest. It has become a thing. Further, the selection rate (70%) of patterns C and D in which the entire enemy panel image TP is finally displayed is 70%, and the selection rate (30%) of patterns A and B in which the entire friend panel image MP is finally displayed. It is higher than Furthermore, when paying attention to the cut-in effect, the selection rate (55%) of the patterns B and C including the enemy cut-in size twice (55%) is the selection rate (45 of the patterns A and D including the ally cut-in size twice). %) And among patterns A to D, the selection rate (40%) of pattern C in which the enemy panel image TP is finally displayed as a whole is the highest.

  Here, as described above, the first specific result is a big hit according to any one of the 16R sixth big hit and the RUB that is an execution opportunity of the first battle reach effect. And enemy preemptive patterns. In addition, the second specific result is a big hit related to either the 16R 11th big hit or the 2R big hit that becomes an execution opportunity of the second battle reach production. Exists. When the first battle reach effect is performed, the friendship first pattern has higher selectability (selection rate) than the enemy first pattern, and when the second battle reach effect is performed, the enemy first pattern The possibility of selection (selection rate) is higher compared to the friendly first-come pattern. That is, in the roaring variation effect pattern determination table of the present embodiment, when the variation determination result is the first specific result, the screen occupancy rate of the teammate panel image MP becomes large and finally the teammate panel image MP is displayed as a whole. When the variation effect pattern (pattern A) is easily selected and the variation determination result is the second specific result, the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP is small (the screen occupancy rate of the enemy panel image TP is large). Finally, it is easy to select a turn variation effect pattern (pattern C) in which the entire enemy panel image TP is displayed.

  Further, even when paying attention to the cut-in effect, if the variation determination result is the first specific result, the variation variation effect pattern (pattern) in which the teammate cut-in size is performed twice and the entire team panel image MP is finally displayed. When A) is easily selected and the variation determination result is the second specific result, the enemy variation image pattern (pattern C) in which the enemy cut-in is performed twice and the enemy panel image TP is finally displayed is finally displayed. ) Is easier to select.

  From this, among the production variation effects, the production that the screen occupancy rate of the allied panel image MP becomes larger or the cut-in production of the allied cut-in size more frequently occurs, It can be said that the possibility of “16R sixth big hit or occurrence of RUB” increases. In other words, it can be said that the production is highly expected to suggest that there is a high possibility that the game development is advantageous to the player. On the other hand, among the fluctuation variation effects, the effects that the screen occupancy ratio of the friendly panel image MP becomes smaller or the cut-in effects of the enemy cut-in size occur more often include “execution of enemy-first battle reach effect” and It can be said that the possibility of “occurrence of 16R 11th big hit or 2R big hit” is increased. In other words, it can be said that the production suggests that there is a possibility that the game development may be disadvantageous to the player.

  Further, when the variation determination result is out of place (non-specific result), that is, when it is a frustration, the screen variation rate pattern (pattern E) in which the screen occupancy of the ally panel image MP increases and the panel image is erased last. ) Selection rate (50%) and the selection rate (50%) of the fly variation effect pattern (pattern F) in which the screen occupancy rate of the friendly panel image MP is reduced and the panel image is erased last is the same. ing. Then, when the selection rate in the case of the deviation (gase) is compared with the selection rate in the case where the variation determination result is the first specific result, a variation variation effect pattern (pattern) that increases the screen occupancy rate of the teammate panel image MP. For A, D, E), the selectivity (55%) according to the first specific result is higher. Further, when the selection rate in the case of losing (gase) and the selection rate in the case where the variation determination result is the second specific result are compared, the variation variation pattern (pattern B) in which the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP is reduced. , C, F), the selectivity (55%) according to the second specific result is higher. For this reason, an effect that the screen occupancy rate of the ally panel image MP increases or a cut-in effect with a large ally cut-in occurs is likely to cause a 16R sixth big hit or RUB (big hit reliability) It can also be said to be a production that suggests. On the other hand, an effect that the screen occupancy ratio of the friendly panel image MP is reduced or an enemy cut-in effect is generated is likely to generate a 16R 11th big hit or a 2R big hit (big hit reliability). It can be said that the production suggests.

[Effects of Example 2]
