Similarly, in the second special symbol display unit 50B and the symbol display device 17, the second special symbol variation display and the symbol combination effect relating to the second special symbol variation display are started, and the special symbol 2 and the decorative diagram are displayed in a fixed stop display. Is done. In the first and second special figure display units 50A and 50B, the special figure fluctuation display is not performed at the same time. It is stored on hold as first or second special figure start hold information corresponding to the main control RAM 60c.

  Here, in the symbol display device 17 according to the embodiment, 10 types of numbers “0” to “9” are set as basic ornamental drawings in the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The figure is variably displayed in order in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. In addition, as a decoration drawing, it is not restricted to this, It is set as the form which a player can distinguish and identify each decoration drawing like arbitrary numbers, a character, a design, etc. The decoration diagram of the embodiment has a first identification pattern that can be definitely recognized by the player to give a certain change state (described later) after the jackpot game is finished, and a possibility that the probability change state is given after the jackpot game is finished. Is classified into a second identification symbol that can be recognized indefinitely. In this embodiment, the probability variation state that can be given after the end of the big hit game will be described in detail later. Here, as a 1st identification design, even if it sets suitably from the basic decoration drawings, the special decoration drawing determined in addition to the basic decoration drawings can also be used. In the embodiment, odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” are set as the first identification symbols, and “0”, “2”, “4”, “ An example in which the even symbols “6” and “8” are the second identification symbols will be described.

  Then, the decorative symbols of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c, which are confirmed and stopped at the combination symbol positions L, C, R of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c in the symbol display device 17, are the winning symbol combinations. In this case, it is possible to grasp that a winning game (big hit game) is given. Here, in the embodiment, symbol combinations (for example, “222”, “777”, etc.) in which the same decorative figure is fixed and displayed at the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of each symbol row as the jackpot symbol combination. Is set. The symbol combination of the decorative figure that can recognize the big hit becomes the big hit display (hit display) displayed on the symbol display device 17, and a big hit game advantageous to the player is given after the end of the symbol combination effect. Further, in the embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned basic decoration drawing that is variably displayed on the symbol display device 17, it is set so that a special decoration drawing (special symbol) can be displayed, and the combination symbol position L of each symbol row is set. , C, and R (for example, the combination symbol position C of the middle symbol row 26b) is displayed in a fixed stop manner so that it can be recognized that a predetermined big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing that can recognize the possibility of occurrence of the jackpot game becomes the jackpot suggestion display displayed on the symbol display device 17. On the other hand, in the case where even one of the symbols in all columns displayed in a fixed stop display at the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of the symbol display device 17 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, “734”, From “171” etc.), it can be recognized that in principle, it is a “out of game” to which no big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing which can recognize this deviation becomes a deviation display of the symbol display device 17. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as a trigger for executing a predetermined effect (for example, a predetermined jackpot game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same. A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. Specific examples of specific symbol combinations include symbol combinations in which three rows of decorative symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order (for example, “123” and “321”), and left and right symbol rows 26a and 26b. Are the same, and the symbol combination in the right symbol row 26c is shifted by one (for example, “778”), and the symbol combination in which the three rows of ornamental symbols are a predetermined word combination (for example, “758” (Nagoya)). ) And the like. In this way, the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination of a decorative drawing that can be selected not only as a disappointing display result but also as a jackpot display result.

  Further, in the symbol combination effect, the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol row (in the embodiment, the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c) among the plurality of symbol rows, and the remaining symbol rows (implemented) In the example, the middle symbol row 26b) is displayed in a variable display (reach display), so that the player can recognize that the reach has occurred. A specific example of reach display is a symbol combination (“1 ↓ 1”, “4 ↓ 4”, etc.) in which the same decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c. In addition, “↓” indicates that it is changing. In addition, the decorations of the specific symbol rows (the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c) that form the reach display are set to the temporary stop display state, and the decorations of the remaining symbol rows (the middle symbol row 26b) are stopped. After the display (temporary stop display), the decorations of all the symbol sequences are displayed in a fixed stop display.

  As described above, the symbol display device 17 is an effect display means for displaying a symbol combination effect and stopping and displaying a plurality of decorative symbols. Then, in the symbol display device 17 as the effect display means, a plurality of combination symbol positions at which the decoration symbols (decoration symbols) to be combined are stopped and displayed are set, and stopped at each of the combination symbol positions. When the combination of the decorative symbols is a predetermined hit display, the special symbol hit determination is notified that the hit determination is a hit determination.

(About probabilistic state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of giving the first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the special winning opening 41 is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 41 can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability change function is the probability of winning a big hit after the jackpot game is over, provided that the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the big hit probability is changed from a low probability (170/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1700/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. In this way, if the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning the jackpot will fluctuate with a high probability and the jackpot game is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, and the player will be a probability variation jackpot. Playing games while expecting. In addition, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit game to which a probability change state is given, after the big hit game ends, it continues until a predetermined number of times (the number of positive changes) the symbol combination effect (special figure fluctuation display) is executed. Probability state is given. In the embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the probability variation state is continuously given until 71 symbol combination effects (special symbol variation display) are executed. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the big hit game is generated. Also, determine whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol combination effect (special pattern fluctuation display) based on random numbers acquired when the pachinko ball wins the starting winning means (falling lottery), It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 3rd start winning opening 35 increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 37 that opens the third start winning opening 35, the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the third starting winning opening 35 can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 37 for opening the third start winning opening 35 once per map, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 37. It can be realized by increasing the number of times of opening 37, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state in the example is set to combine (1) to (3) above. In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko balls to the third start winning opening 35 is improved.

  In other words, in the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed in the general map display unit 55 in the non-variable state is set to 3600 ms, and the fluctuation of the general map change display performed in the general map display unit 55 in the variable state. The time is set to any one of 520 ms, which is shorter than the non-changeable state, and the change time of the normal figure change display performed in the normal view display unit 55 is shortened with the provision of the changeable state. . In addition, the winning probability of determination per common figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (in the example, 1125/65536), and the winning probability of determination per common figure in the variable state is high (in the example, , 65535/65536), and with the provision of the variable state, the winning probability of the determination per common figure varies from a low probability to a high probability. In the embodiment, the period from the time when the normal map is confirmed and stopped until the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval) is set to 480 ms.

  Further, in the state where the variable state is applied, the opening / closing member 37 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state where the variable state is not given, a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening / closing member 37 of the third start winning opening 35 is opened in the case of winning in the normal map display (in the case of the normal map). An opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed once until (300 ms in the embodiment) elapses. On the other hand, in the state where the variable state is given, when the normal figure change display is won (in the case of per normal figure), the opening / closing member 37 of the third start winning opening 35 is opened for a predetermined time (implemented). In the example, the opening operation for maintaining the opening state is performed three times until 1140 ms) elapses. That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening and closing member 37 of the third start winning opening 35 is longer than the state where the variable state is not given, and the player operates advantageously. It is set to be. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the third start winning hole 35 per time is set, and the number of winnings after the opening and closing member 37 is opened is set. The opening / closing member 37 is closed when the upper limit number of winnings (closing condition) is reached. Here, in the embodiment, a period (hereinafter referred to as the number of times of change) for which the change state is given is determined according to the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won in the jackpot. Specifically, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit game to which a variable state is given, after the big hit game is finished, the game is continuously changed until a predetermined number of symbol combination effects (special figure fluctuation display) is executed. The short state is assigned, and the number of times of change is set to the same number as the number of times of change described above. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, it is set so that the variable state is continuously given until 71 symbol combination effects (special figure fluctuation display) are executed. In addition, the period (number of times of change) for which the change state is granted is not limited to this, and is greater than the number of times of change depending on the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won by the big hit. The number of times may be less than the number of times or the probability variation number.

The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  Further, passage detection information (various random values) acquired when the pachinko ball passes through the gate sensor SE6 is temporarily stored in a predetermined map storage area (storage area) of the main control RAM 60c as map start hold information. It is configured to be stored in memory. The general-purpose map storage area is stored in the main control RAM 60c in the order in which it is stored in the main control RAM 60c. The normal start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in order.

  The random number for determining the usual figure is a random number used for determining whether or not the third start winning opening 35 is to be opened (per ordinary figure) as a result of the fluctuation of the ordinary figure. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The random number for allocating a general pattern variation is a random number used for determining a general pattern variation pattern that defines a variation time of a general variation in a general variation display. In the embodiment, nine types of integer values from “0” to “8” are set as random numbers for normal pattern variation pattern distribution, and are updated one by one at a predetermined period (4 ms). Yes. Then, triggered by the passage of the pachinko sphere through the gate member 48 (more specifically, when the gate sensor SE6 has detected the pachinko sphere), the passage detection information (usually stored) temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c. The main control CPU 60a obtains a hit determination random number, a normal variation pattern distribution random number, and the like) at the same timing.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot game is generated as a result of the symbol combination effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not to generate a jackpot game using the determination random number per special figure (determination per special figure). A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set for the big hit determination value differs depending on whether or not the above-described probability variation state is given at the time of performing the special figure determination. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (1700 in the embodiment) is larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the non-probability variation state (170 in the embodiment). Many are set. In other words, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state, a jackpot game is likely to occur.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The special figure determination value is the special figure 1 or 2 as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A in a fixed stop when the result of the special figure determination is a big hit (when winning the big hit game). This is a determination value for determining special figure 2 as a jackpot symbol to be confirmed and stopped on special figure display unit 50B using a special figure determining random number. Here, in the embodiment, the special figure determination value is set to an integer value of a type corresponding to the 200 types of special figure determination random numbers described above. Then, when the big win is won based on the special figure start hold information triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball in the first start winning opening 31, the special figure determination determination value is set as the big win symbol of the special figure 1 Further, the main control CPU 60a assigns any one of the symbols A to B assigned to the two types of symbols A to B and assigned with the determination value for special symbol determination corresponding to the random number for special symbol determination. Has come to be determined. Similarly, when a big win is won based on special figure start hold information triggered by a pachinko ball winning in either of the second and third start winning openings 32, 35, the determination value for special figure determination is The symbols a to which are assigned in association with the two types of symbols a to b set as the jackpot symbols of the special diagram 2 and to which the determination values for determining the special symbol corresponding to the random numbers for determining the special diagram are assigned. The main control CPU 60a determines one of the symbols b.

  In addition, an effect execution determination value (reach determination value) is stored in the main control ROM 60b. The effect execution determination value is an effect execution determination as to whether or not to execute a reach effect that suggests a possibility that a winning display is displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of determination per special symbol is negative (reach lottery). The determination value is determined from among 239 kinds of integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for effect execution determination. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines that the effect of the reach effect that will eventually be lost is executed when the value of the acquired effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value. It has become. Here, the number of determination values set for the effect execution determination value differs depending on the gaming state (probability change state or variable state) at the time of performing the effect execution determination. Specifically, the number of production execution determination values set in the non-variable state where the variable state is not assigned is more than the number of production execution determination values than when the variable state is assigned. It is set to increase. That is, in the variable state, the reach effect is less likely to occur than in the non-variable state.

(About special map fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. The special figure variation pattern is an effect content that is executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the final stop display (the display content of the symbol combination effect, the light emission effect mode). , Which specifies the basic content of the sound production mode). Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (design combination effect and special figure) from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the special figure 1 or special figure 2 is displayed in a fixed stop state. The time of fluctuation display) is specified.

  Here, as the special figure fluctuation pattern, there are a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns for jackpots, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns for reaching reach (reach special figure fluctuation patterns), and reach production. A special figure fluctuation pattern (normal special figure fluctuation pattern) for non-reach and non-reach is provided. The special figure fluctuation pattern for big hits is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the special figure hit judgment is affirmative. The special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result is affirmative, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach and non-reach is selectable by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the performance execution determination is negative. It is a special figure fluctuation pattern. The reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach display is displayed in the symbol combination effect performed on the symbol display device 17 until the symbol combination of the decorative drawing that is a big hit or miss is stopped and displayed.

  Further, the special figure fluctuation pattern for big hits is provided with a special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach (for direct hit) where no reach effect is performed. Here, the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for direct hitting is set to coincide with the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach. That is, in the special figure variation pattern for direct hit, the decoration corresponding to each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is performed at the same timing as when the symbol combination effect is performed based on the special figure variation pattern for non-reach. It is set to be temporarily stopped by the combination of the hit display. Here, the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach is set to a particularly short time among the fluctuation times specified by a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns set in the main control ROM 60b. In addition, the symbol combination effect in which the reach effect is not performed (that is, the symbol combination effect with a low expectation level for winning) can be quickly ended. Here, in the embodiment, the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment without reach is set to be shorter than the fluctuation time specified by other special figure fluctuation patterns, and there is no reach. When the special pattern variation pattern for losing is determined, one symbol combination effect is completed in a short time and the next symbol combination effect is performed. In addition, three types of 2 seconds, 6 seconds, and 12 seconds are set as the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for the non-reach. The fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for direct hit is set to 12 seconds, which is the longest of the fluctuation times specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach. The expectation level that a winning display is displayed in an unrecognized symbol combination effect is increased.

  Further, as the special figure fluctuation pattern, the special figure fluctuation for the pseudo continuous notice effect that specifies that the special figure fluctuation pattern for the big hit and the special figure fluctuation pattern for the outbreak are caused to execute the pseudo continuous notice effect. A pattern is set. Here, the special figure variation pattern for the pseudo-continuous notice effect is such that, in a single symbol combination effect, a continuous unit effect is performed continuously a plurality of times, with one time from the start of symbol variation to a temporary stop. It has become. In other words, one symbol variation effect accompanied by a pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed by continuously executing the continuous unit effect a plurality of times, so that one symbol variation effect is continuously performed a plurality of times. It is a production that seems to be broken. Further, the special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect is set so as to specify the number of times of performing the continuous unit effect (the number of pseudo continuous times) for each special figure variation pattern. In the embodiment, any number of 1 to 4 times is set as the pseudo continuous number for each special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect.

  The main control ROM 60b stores variation pattern distribution determination values. The variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used when determining one special figure variation pattern from among the special figure variation patterns that can be determined according to the results of the big hit determination and the effect execution determination. It is determined from all 251 integers from “0” to “250” that can be taken by the random numbers for pattern distribution. This variation pattern distribution determination value is assigned by a predetermined number to the special figure variation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a according to the results of the big hit determination and the effect execution determination. That is, by specifying the variation pattern to which the determination value corresponding to the random number for special pattern variation pattern distribution is assigned, the special diagram variation pattern (effect content and variation time) executed in the symbol combination effect is determined. That is, when determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns based on the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution, the special figure fluctuation pattern is selected according to the number of allocation values for the fluctuation pattern distribution. The ease is adjusted.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of judgment values per universal figure set in the case of the non-variable state (example). In this case, more than 1125) are set. In other words, by increasing the number of ordinary drawings set in the variable state, the occurrence of ordinary drawings is likely to occur.

  In the main control ROM 60b, a plurality of types of common map variation patterns are stored, and general map variation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to the respective general map variation patterns. Here, the general map variation pattern specifies the fluctuation time of the general map variation display from when the general diagram variation display is started until the fixed map is displayed in a fixed stop state. The normal variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining the general variation pattern by using the random number for distribution of the general variation pattern. It is determined from all 9 types of integers up to “8”. A predetermined judgment value is assigned to each of the customary pattern fluctuation patterns, and the typical figure fluctuation pattern to which the common figure fluctuation pattern distribution judgment value corresponding to the acquired random number for normal pattern fluctuation pattern distribution is assigned is the main. It is specified by the control CPU 60a. Here, the determination value for determining the normal pattern variation pattern differs in the type and the number of allocation of the general map variation pattern to be allocated depending on the result of the determination per universal map. Specifically, in the embodiment, when the result of the judgment per common figure is affirmative (winning per common figure), all the standard figure variation pattern determination values are assigned to one common figure fluctuation pattern, When the fluctuation pattern of a predetermined time (for example, 3600 ms) is determined, the fluctuation pattern is determined. On the other hand, when the result of the universal figure judgment is affirmative (decision per universal figure), another normal fluctuation pattern All the standard fluctuation pattern determination values are assigned to the standard fluctuation pattern that defines a predetermined time fluctuation time (for example, 520 ms).

If the result of the determination is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a is an effect pattern that can be selected, and the effect pattern for non-reach and reach is selected by the overall control CPU 65a when the result of the effect execution determination by the main control CPU 60a is negative. This is a possible production pattern. Then, among the effect patterns that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special-figure variation pattern for non-reach (for direct hit), the reach-less use (determined by the overall control CPU 65a) ( Direct effect) and a pseudo-continuous notice effect pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the main control CPU 60a determines a special variation pattern for the pseudo-continuous notice effect. In addition, the effect pattern is not associated with the special figure variation pattern in a one-to-one relationship, and one special pattern variation pattern is associated with one or more effect patterns. The overall control CPU 65a determines one production pattern from the production patterns corresponding to the special figure variation pattern.

  The overall control ROM 65b stores an overall control program for overall control of the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board 73. When the overall control CPU 65a receives various control commands, the overall control CPU 65a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

(Display control board 70)

The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  That is, the winning information acquisition means for acquiring the winning information when the winning winning opening 31, 32, 35 is given as a trigger, the establishment of the determination condition (acquisition of winning information by the winning information acquiring means) as a trigger Each function as a hit game determining means for determining a hit game to be given from a plurality of types of hit games when the determination result of the hit determination means for determining whether or not to cause occurrence is positive. The main control CPU 60a is provided. Further, the main control CPU 60a has a function as a hit game giving means for giving the determined type of hit game after the end of the special figure change display (after the end of the symbol combination effect). The main control CPU 60a stores a variation pattern (special pattern variation pattern) for specifying a variation time of the symbol combination effect to be performed by the symbol display means when a winning is received in any of the start winning ports 31, 32, 35. As a variation pattern determining means for determining from among a plurality of variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b. Further, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give a probability variation state in which the probability that a hit will occur (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is affirmative) is higher than normal. In addition to functioning as a means, it is configured to function as a first game state giving means for giving a certain probability change state after the winning game. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative). The main control CPU 60a functions as a special symbol display control means for controlling the display of the special symbol display means so that the special symbol display means stops and displays the special symbol corresponding to the determination result of the hit determination means.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a has a high probability that the pachinko ball will win the variable start winning opening (third starting winning opening 35) when a win occurs (when the determination result of the hit determining means is affirmative). It functions as a second gaming state determination means for determining whether or not to give a winning rate improvement state (variable state), and determines a period for giving a winning rate improvement state when giving a winning rate improvement state In addition to functioning as a period determining means, it also functions as a second game state giving means for giving a variable state for a period of giving a winning rate improvement state determined after the winning game. Here, the main control CPU 60a waits until a predetermined number of special figure change displays (symbol combination effects) is executed after the winning game ends or until the next winning game is given. Any period is determined as the grant period of the winning rate improvement state. Further, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine a plurality of types of periods according to the determined type of winning game as the award rate improvement state grant period. In this way, the main control CPU 60a, when the winning determination is affirmative, is a privilege state (probability changing state, changing state) that is advantageous to the player after the winning game based on winning at the start winning opening 31, 32, 35. ) Is provided as a privilege state determination means for determining whether or not to grant. Further, the main control RAM 60c is acquired while the symbol combination effect is being performed on the symbol display device 17 (that is, while the special symbol variation display is being performed on the first and second special symbol display units 50A and 50B). It functions as a holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of received winning information as starting hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first start winning detection sensor SE1 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the symbol display device 17 or the first special figure display unit 50A) is the first. The second and third start winning detection sensors SE2, SE3 while the variable display is being performed on the first hold storage means and the display means (the symbol display device 17 and the second special figure display unit 50B) stored as start hold information. It functions as a second hold storage means for storing winning information acquired as a trigger for any of the above as second start hold information.

  The overall control CPU 65a functions as a decorative symbol determining means for determining a decorative symbol to be stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 17 as the effect display means based on the determination result of the main control CPU 60a as the hit determining means. It functions as an effect display control means for controlling the symbol display device 17 as an effect display means display so as to stop and display the determined decorative symbol. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a uses a plurality of types of effect patterns for specifying the effect contents of the symbol combination effect to be performed by the symbol display means triggered by the acquisition of the winning information by the winning information acquisition means (the establishment of the determination condition) The overall control CPU 65a as the effect pattern determining means determines the effect pattern based on the special figure variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. Then, as an effect pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a as the effect pattern determining means, a winning display is displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect by a combination of decorative symbols temporarily stopped at each combination symbol position. Temporary stop production patterns that indicate the possibility of being If it is, the overall control CPU65a as the decorative symbol determination unit is configured to determine a decoration view of the temporary stop to temporarily stop.

  Next, a special figure input process and a special figure start process executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be specifically described.

(Special drawing input process)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 31 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor SE1 corresponding to the first start winning opening 31 detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives winning information (values of random numbers such as a random number for winning determination, a random value for determining special drawing, a random value for determining execution execution, a random value for distributing special pattern variation, etc.) Is read by the main control CPU 60a, and the winning information (random number value) is set as the winning start hold information in the first to fourth areas of the first start hold area in the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds (step). A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won any of the second and third start winning ports 32 and 35. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a outputs a detection signal when any of the second and third start winning detection sensors SE2 and SE3 corresponding to the second and third start winning ports 32 and 35 detects a pachinko ball. It is determined whether or not is input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result in step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the pachinko ball has already won at the first to third start winning openings 31, 32, 35. A pre-reading notice process for determining whether or not to perform a continuous notice effect that straddles the symbol combination effect executed based on the first or second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is executed. (Step A19), the special figure input process is terminated.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information <4), the number of holdings of the second special figure starting holding information is incremented by 1, and the second special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (random number for special figure determination, random value for determination of special figure, random value for determination of performance execution, random number for randomization of special figure variation pattern, etc. Value) is read by the main control CPU 60a, and the winning information (random number value) is stored in the first to fourth areas of the second start holding area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds as the second winning start hold information. Set (step A18). Thereafter, the main control CPU 60a executes a prefetch notice process (step A19), and the special figure input process is terminated.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The special figure start process is executed immediately before the symbol combination effect (special figure fluctuation display) is performed, and the symbol combination effect (special figure fluctuation display) is executed based on the processing result of the special figure start process. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed in the special figure display units 50A and 50B and the symbol display device 17, or whether the big hit game is being played. (Step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the storage number (holding number) obtained by summing the first and second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is read (step B12), and the total storage is performed. It is determined whether or not the number is larger than “0” (step B13). If the determination result in step B13 is negative (when the total number of first and second special figure start hold information = 0), the main control CPU 60a has already issued a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect. It is determined whether or not it has been output (step B20). If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

  The main control CPU 60a determines a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the total storage number of the first and second special figure start hold information> 0). Is set to a value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is to be executed. Next, the main control CPU 60a stores the earliest (ie, the oldest) special figure start hold information stored in the first and second special figure start hold information stored in the second start hold area in the main control RAM 60c. The corresponding stored number is decremented by 1 (step B14), and the oldest first or second special figure start hold information (random value for determining special figure, random value for determining special figure, random number for effect execution determining) And various random number values such as the special pattern variation pattern distribution random number value) are acquired by the main control CPU 60a as variation start start hold information (step B15).

  Here, when the main control CPU 60a obtains the first special figure start hold information (random number) as the start change information at the start of change, the first special figure start hold information stored first (that is, the oldest) is stored. Information is acquired from the first area of the first start hold area stored. The main control CPU 60a stores the first special figure start hold information stored second fastest after acquiring the random number associated with the first special figure start hold information as the change start start hold information. The first special figure start hold information (random number) in the second area of the first start hold area is used as the next variable start start hold information based on the first special figure start hold information. Remember me. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the first special figure start hold information (random number) in the third area of the first start hold area in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The second special figure start hold in the third area of the first start hold area in which the first special figure start hold information stored in the second area of the start hold area is stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored. Information (random number) is stored in the third area of the first start hold area. Similarly, when acquiring the second special figure start hold information (random number) as the start change information at the start of fluctuation, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information stored earliest (that is, the oldest). The information is acquired from the first area of the stored second start-up hold area, and the second special figure start-up hold information stored in the second to fourth areas of the second start-up hold area is sequentially raised and stored. . As described above, the first and second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c (the detection of the first to third second start winning detection sensors SE1 to SE3). Accordingly, the main control CPU 60a reads out the winning information in the order of acquisition). Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 52 or the second special figure hold display section 53 so as to correspond to the number of stored first or second special figure start hold information after subtraction. .

  When various random numbers as starting change hold information at the start of change are acquired by the processing of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a determines the random number value for judgment per special figure as start hold information at the start of change. Is determined per special figure to determine whether or not is consistent with the special figure determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b (step B22). As described above, the probability that the determination result of the special figure determination is affirmative (that is, the big hit probability) is set to 170/65536 in the non-probability change state (low probability), and in the probability change state ( The probability that the determination result is affirmative (when the probability is high) (hit probability) is set to 1700/65536. If the determination result of the special figure hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (when a big hit is caused), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is a big hit (step S22). B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a, based on the value of the special figure determination random number as the starting change hold information at the time of the fluctuation start, the final stop symbol that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the first or second special symbol display unit 50A, 50B. (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is determined (step B24). That is, in the case of the start-of-change information at the start of change based on the first special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a determines the big hit symbol (special figure 1) displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A. In the case of the change start start hold information based on the second special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a determines the big hit symbol (special figure 2) displayed to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 50B. Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 1 or 2, the main control CPU 60 a is associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2, the jackpot symbol is determined.

  When the big hit symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation patterns for the big hit effect (Step B25). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for big hits based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the special figure determination in step B22 is negative (when no big hit is generated), the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to execute the effect (reach) (execution execution determination ( Reach determination) is performed (step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (when a reach effect is to be performed), the main control CPU 60a displays a symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first or second special figure display units 50A and 50B. The final stop symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is determined (Step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for loss of reach based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B29).

  Further, when the result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a confirms and stops at the first or second special figure display units 50A and 50B. The displayed off symbol is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) (Step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) in Steps B25, B29, B31, gives a predetermined variation start control command to the overall control board 65. (Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first or second special figure display units 50A and 50B so as to start the special figure fluctuation display. That is, when the fluctuation start start hold information for which the hit determination has been made is based on the first special figure start hold information, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display unit 50A to start the special figure change display. When the variation start start hold information for which the hit determination has been made is based on the second special figure start hold information, the second special figure display unit 50B controls to start the special figure change display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure designation command for instructing the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. 2 Controls the display contents of the special figure display sections 50A and 50B. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. It is like that.

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. In the overall control board 65, when the variation start control command is input, processing related to the variation start of the symbol combination effect is performed. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol combination effect based on the special figure variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the decided effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. That is, the overall control CPU 65a functions as an effect execution control control means for executing a symbol combination effect based on the determined variation pattern. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a, when the determination result of the continuous notice effect determination described later is affirmative, causes the symbol display device 17 to execute the continuous notice effect over the unit variation effects corresponding to the determined number of executions. It has a function as a means. Here, the production pattern that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a is associated with one or more patterns for each special figure variation pattern, and one production pattern is selected from among the production patterns corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern. Selected.

  Further, when a special symbol designation command is input, the overall control CPU 65a decorates each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c to be finally stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. Determine the figure (final stop decoration). That is, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 designated by the special figure designation command is a big hit symbol, the overall control CPU 65a sets each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c so as to be a symbol combination of a decorative figure that is displayed as a big hit. Determine the decoration. Then, at the final stop timing of the decorative drawing of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the effect pattern, a designation command for specifying the decorative drawing of each row is displayed on the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board. To 73. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a starts measuring time by the timer means simultaneously with the input of the variation pattern designation command, and outputs the left decoration drawing designation command at the final stop timing of the decoration drawing of the left symbol row 26a. Then, the right decoration designating command is output at the final stop timing of the decorative drawing of the right design row 26c, and the intermediate decoration designating command is output at the final stop timing of the decorative drawing of the middle design row 26b.

  In addition, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 designated by the special figure designation command is an outlier symbol, the overall control CPU 65a sets the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c so that the symbol combination of the decorative symbols can be recognized. Determine the decoration. In addition, when the special figure variation pattern for reach deviation is input, the overall control CPU 65a determines the decorations of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c so that the combinations including the reach display can be recognized. To do. On the other hand, when a special figure variation pattern for detachment without reach is input, the overall control CPU 65a displays a decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c so that a combination that does not include reach display can be recognized. To decide. Further, when the overall control CPU 65a inputs an all symbol stop command, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the command to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

  In addition, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the effect pattern determined based on the special figure variation pattern designation command is an effect pattern that temporarily stops the decorative symbols in the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c before displaying the final stop symbol. Next, a decorative drawing (decorative drawing of temporary stop) to be temporarily stopped in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is determined. That is, when a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating a special figure fluctuation pattern for pseudo continuous notice effect is input, the overall control CPU 65a receives each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c in one continuous unit production. Decide the decorations to be temporarily stopped (decoration of temporary stop). Here, as a combination of the temporary stop decorative drawings, each of the combinations of decorative drawings capable of recognizing a detachment that does not include reach display, each of which becomes a pseudo continuous notice effect display capable of recognizing that it is a pseudo continuous notice effect. The decorations of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are determined. In the embodiment, as the pseudo continuous notice effect display, it is determined that the decorative symbols of the left symbol row 26a and the middle symbol row 26b are the same, and the decorative symbols of the right symbol row 26c are the left and middle symbol rows 26a and 26b. A combination of symbols (“223”, “778”, etc.) between the decorative drawing and the decorative drawing shifted by one is determined. The pseudo continuous notice effect display is not limited to this, and a special symbol indicating the pseudo continuous notice effect may be displayed in all or at least one of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. Further, in the embodiment, as an effect pattern for displaying a temporary stop decoration on each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c, when executing a pseudo continuous notice effect, the pseudo control notice for the pseudo continuous notice determined by the overall control CPU 65a is used. A production pattern is set. In other words, the pseudo-continuous notice effect pattern is a temporary stop effect pattern that suggests that a winning display may be displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect by a combination of decorations temporarily stopped at each combination symbol position.

  The overall control CPU 65a provides a temporary designation command for designating the decorative drawing of each row at the temporary stop timing of the decorative drawing of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the pseudo continuous notice effect pattern. Output to the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a starts measuring time by the timer means at the same time as the special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and designates the left temporary decoration figure at the temporary stop timing of the decorative figure in the left symbol row 26a. A command is output, a right temporary decoration designating command is output at the stop timing of the decorative drawing in the right design row 26c, and a middle temporary decorative drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decorative drawing in the middle design row 26b. Then, a corresponding decoration drawing designation command is output at the final stop timing of the decoration drawings of the left symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. In this way, the overall control CPU 65a serving as the effect display control means starts the variation of the decoration in one symbol combination effect when the special control variation pattern for pseudo continuous notice is determined by the main control CPU 60a. To a temporary stop, the continuous unit effect is configured to be continuously executed a plurality of times.

(About display control)
In the display control board 70, when a command is input from the overall control board 62, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the contents of the effect corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display control board 70 corresponds to the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled to execute the symbol combination effect with the display content. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts an elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the symbol combination effect, and determines an image displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. When the decoration stop command for each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is input, the display control CPU 70a displays the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of the corresponding symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c with a decoration drawing designation command. When the designated decorative drawing is temporarily stopped and the all decorative drawing stop command is input, the decorative drawing designated by the decorative drawing stop command is displayed at the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. The display content of the symbol display device 17 is controlled so that the symbol display device 17 is confirmed and stopped, and the symbol combination effect is ended.

(About continuous notice effect)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment performs a plurality of times as a unit variation effect (determined variation cycle) from the start of change to the fixed stop of the symbol combination effect (special diagram variation display) performed based on one start hold information. The continuous notice effect that causes the unit variation effect to be executed over the symbol combination effect (unit change effect) is configured to be executable as a notice effect that suggests the possibility that a winning display is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Specifically, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is based on the start-up hold information at the time of winning corresponding to the winning information acquired every time the winning information (random value) is acquired triggered by the detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1 to SE3. The content of the effect is specified (prefetched), and when the winning information is acquired, the continuous notice effect is performed across the symbol combination effect that is executed based on the start hold information that is already stored in the main control RAM 60c. Is configured to determine whether or not. That is, when the symbol combination effect (the effect of the main variation in the continuous notice effect) is performed using the winning information (random value) acquired by the detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1 to SE3 as the starting change hold information at the start of variation. It is configured to be able to suggest in advance the possibility that a hit display will be displayed (possibility that a big hit will occur).

(About pre-reading notice processing)
Here, the prefetching notice process for executing the above-described continuous notice effect (prefetching notice effect) will be described. Note that the pre-reading notice process is performed when a pachinko ball wins the first to third start winning holes 31, 32, and 35 (when the special figure input process is executed) as shown in FIG. That is, before the next symbol combination effect (first or second special figure variation display) is started after the pachinko ball wins the first to third start winning holes 31, 32, 35 (special figure). Before the start process is performed), the prefetch notice process is executed. In other words, the prefetch notice process is configured to be executed before the symbol combination effect. Here, the pre-reading advance notice processing is controlled based on the start-up hold information at the time of winning corresponding to the acquired winning information every time winning information (random value) is acquired triggered by the detection of the starting winning detection sensors SE1 to SE3. This is a process in which the main control CPU 60a sets specific information (prefetch command) to be transmitted to the CPU 65a. That is, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment specifies the specific information (prefetch command) based on the acquired winning information every time the winning information is acquired in response to the winning at the start winning ports 31, 32, 35. It functions as information setting means. In the embodiment, when the winning start hold information corresponding to the acquired winning information is used as the change start start hold information, the prefetch command includes information on the contents of the effect performed in the symbol combination effect. The main control CPU 60a also functions as effect content prefetching means for specifying the effect content based on the winning information. As will be described later, it is not necessary for the main control CPU 60a to specify the content of the effect based on the acquired winning information, but the overall control CPU 65a can also specify the effect.

  FIG. 8 shows the prefetch notice process. The main control CPU 60a sets the winning information at the start of change based on the winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired in response to winning at the first to third start winning ports 31, 32, 35. In the case of information, it is determined in advance whether or not a big hit game is generated as a result of the symbol combination effect (first or second special figure variation display). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a determines in advance whether or not the value of the random number for special figure determination in the start-up hold information at the time of winning stored in the main control RAM 60c coincides with the prior jackpot determination value when the winning information is acquired. Determination (preliminary special figure determination) is made (step C11). Here, the prior jackpot determination value is set to the same value as the jackpot determination value used in the above-described special chart determination (big hit lottery) of the special figure start process described above. In other words, if the pre-special chart determination based on the award start hold information is affirmative, the affirmative start hold is determined unless the gaming state (more specifically, whether it is a probability change state or a non-probability change state) changes. A big hit will occur when the actual variation effect (symbol combination effect) with the information as starting hold information at the start of variation is performed.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the winning information based on the winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired in response to winning in the first to third starting winning ports 31, 32, 35 at the start of variation. When the start hold information is used, the contents of the effect performed in the symbol combination effect (first or second special figure variation display) are determined in advance (step C12). In the embodiment, as described above, in the symbol combination effect in which the big hit game does not occur, there is a case where it is lost after the reach effect is performed, and a case where it is lost without the reach effect being performed. Therefore, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment, when the determination result of the prior special figure determination is negative, the winnings acquired with the winnings at the first to third starting winning holes 31, 32, 35 as a trigger. Based on the first or second winning start hold information corresponding to the information, when the winning information is changed to start start hold information, as a specific effect in the symbol combination effect (first or second special figure variable display) It is determined in advance whether or not the reach effect is executed (pre-effect execution determination). Specifically, in the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the value of the random number for effect execution determination acquired from the main control RAM 60c at the time of processing matches the prior effect execution determination value. Here, the prior performance execution determination value is set to the same value as the performance execution determination value used in the performance execution determination in the special figure start process described above. In other words, if the advance effect determination is affirmative, the affirmation is also determined in the effect execution determination of the special figure start process executed when the symbol combination effect based on the determined special figure start hold information is performed. Determined.

  Further, in the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a generates one special figure variation pattern based on the value of the special figure variation pattern distribution random number in the winning start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the winning information is acquired. Pre-determined (pre-determined special figure fluctuation pattern) That is, every time winning information is acquired triggered by the detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1 to SE3, the variation time of the symbol combination effect that is performed based on the starting start hold information corresponding to the acquired winning information is determined. The special figure variation pattern is preliminarily determined (preliminary special map variation pattern determination). In the embodiment, as will be described later, the overall control CPU 65a finally determines whether or not the continuous notice effect is performed.

  As described above, when the main control CPU 60a acquires winning information triggered by winning at the starting winning ports 31, 32, and 35, the acquired winning information is used as start-pending information at the start of variation. As a result, it functions as a prior special figure determination means for determining whether or not a hit game is generated, and based on the acquired special figure start hold information (in the embodiment, the first or second special figure start hold information). As a result of the symbol combination effect to be performed, it has a function as a prior effect execution determination means (advance reach determination means) for determining whether or not a reach out effect is generated (advance reach determination). Further, each time the main control CPU 60a acquires winning information triggered by winning at the starting winning ports 31, 32, 35, the main control CPU 60a sets a variation time of the symbol combination effect performed as starting hold information at the start of variation. It functions as a prior variation pattern determining means for determining a predetermined variation pattern in advance. In addition, the main control CPU 60a of the embodiment has a function as continuous notice effect execution determining means for determining whether or not to perform a continuous notice effect.

(About setting the prefetch command)
Further, when the main control CPU 60a makes a prior determination based on the winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired with the winning of the first to third starting winning ports 31, 32, 35 as a trigger, Information indicating the determination result of the determination is configured to be transmitted to the overall control CPU 65a. In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a sets a pre-read command (specific information) corresponding to the determination result of the pre-determination based on the start-up hold information at the time of winning in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and then performs special figure start processing The main control CPU 60a outputs the prefetch command to the overall control board 65 before the determination is performed, so that the determination result of the prior determination is transmitted to the overall control CPU 65a.

  Here, the pre-read command indicates the determination result of the pre-special chart determination based on the winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired at the time of winning the first to third starting winning ports 31, 32, 35. Advance special information indicating prior judgment execution information based on prior special figure information, advance production execution determination result based on the winning start start hold information, and advance special figure variation pattern determination determination based on the winning start start hold information This command includes special figure variation pattern information. Therefore, by referring to the pre-read command, the overall control CPU 65a performs the symbol combination that is performed using the winning information acquired when winning the first to third starting winning ports 31, 32, 35 as starting change hold information at the start of variation. Whether or not a big hit occurs in the production (first or second special figure variation display) can be identified on the basis of the prior special figure information, and whether or not a reach production is performed in the symbol combination production The overall control CPU 65a can be identified based on the execution information. Further, the overall control CPU 65a can identify the variation time of the symbol combination effect based on the prior special symbol variation pattern information.

  The pre-read command includes hold number information indicating the number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c at the time of winning the first to third start winning ports 31, 32, and 35, Special figure type information indicating which pre-read command is based on the winning of a pachinko ball to which of the three start winning ports 31, 32, 35 is included. The number-of-holds information specified by the pre-read command is the number-of-storages information corresponding to the number of stored first special figure start hold information and the number of second special figure start hold information.

  When the setting of the prefetch command is completed, the main control CPU 60a ends the prefetch notice process. The prefetch command set in the prefetch notice process is output to the overall control CPU 65a before the next symbol combination effect (special figure variation display) is performed (that is, before the special figure start process is performed). Is set. That is, the main control CPU 60a as the first control means generates specific information (prefetch command) for specifying the production content based on the winning information acquired for each winning at the start winning opening 31, 32, 35, The generated specific information is transmitted to the overall control CPU 65a as the second control means. As a result, the overall control CPU 65a can determine whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect based on the result of the prefetch notice process by the main control CPU 60a.

(Related processing of continuous notice effect by the general control CPU 65a)
Next, processing related to the continuous notice effect executed on the overall control board 65 will be described. When a prefetch command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the overall control board 65, as shown in FIG. 9, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect based on the prefetch command (determination of execution). (Step D11). In the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect based on the prefetch command from the main control CPU 60a. Here, in the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a determines the rate at which the execution of the continuous notice effect differs according to the determination result of the prior special figure determination specified by the pre-specific figure information included in the prefetch command. It has become. In the embodiment, when the determination result of the advance special figure determination is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of the continuous notice effect compared to the case where the determination result of the advance special figure determination is negative. Is set high. That is, the expectation that the big hit game is generated as a result of the continuous notice effect is increased, and the interest in executing the continuous notice effect is improved. Further, in the embodiment, when the determination result of the prior special figure determination is negative, the continuous announcement effect is determined according to the determination result of the prior effect execution determination specified by the prior effect execution information included in the prefetch command. The rate at which the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution is different. In other words, when the determination result of the pre-production effect execution determination is affirmative, the overall control CPU 65a sets a higher ratio for determining execution of the continuous notice effect than when the determination result of the pre-reach determination is negative determination. ing. In other words, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the expectation that the reach effect is performed as a result of the continuous notice effect is improved, and the expectation that the big hit game is generated is also improved. Increased interest.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a continuous number of continuous notice effect execution determination values are assigned to the overall control ROM 65b for the positive determination of the continuous notice effect and the negative determination of the continuous notice effect. A notice effect execution availability determination table is provided, and is configured to determine whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect based on a random number for continuous notice effect execution availability determination acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, when the value of the random number for determining whether or not the continuous notice effect is obtained by the overall control CPU 65a matches the determination value assigned to the positive determination of the continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of the continuous notice effect, When the random number for determining whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect matches the determination value assigned to the negative determination for the continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines not to execute the continuous notice effect. It should be noted that there is no overlap of continuous notice effect execution availability determination values assigned to the positive determination of the continuous notice effect and the negative determination of the continuous notice effect. In the embodiment, 100 integer values of “0” to “99” are set as a random number for determining whether or not continuous notice effect can be executed and a value for determining whether or not continuous notice effect can be executed. The random number for determining whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect is updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the overall control RAM 65c to rewrite the value before the update. The general control CPU 65a is configured to acquire a random value stored in the general control RAM 65c when a prefetch command is input to the general control board 65 (general control CPU 65a).

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when the pre-special chart determination is affirmative, the continuous notice effect execution feasibility determination value is assigned more to the affirmative determination of the continuous notice effect than the negative determination of the continuous notice effect. Therefore, the overall control CPU 65a can easily determine execution of the continuous notice effect. In addition, when the pre-effect execution determination is affirmative, the same number of continuous notice effect execution determination values are assigned to the positive determination of the continuous notification effect and the negative determination of the continuous notification effect, and the advance effect execution determination is negative. Are assigned more determination values for whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect than for the negative determination of the continuous notice effect.

  In addition, the result of the determination as to whether or not to perform the continuous notice effect by the overall control CPU 65a is based on the predetermined control storage area of the overall control RAM 65c, and the overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the continuous notice effect (execution decision). At this time, the main control RAM 60c is configured to be temporarily stored and held in association with the stored number of special figure start hold information stored. Note that the number of special figure start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is set based on the number of storage information specified from the prefetch command. As a result, the overall control CPU 65a can identify the number of fluctuations of the symbol combination effect performed after the decision to execute the continuous notice effect, and the winning information (the start-up information at the time of winning a prize) determined to execute the continuous notice effect is changed. The overall control CPU 65a can identify the symbol combination effect that is the main variation of the continuous notice effect executed as the start hold information. In the embodiment, as will be described later, the number of stored special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect is the number of executions of the continuous notice effect. Therefore, the storage number information stored in association with the result of determining whether or not the continuous notice effect can be executed may be referred to as continuous notice execution number information. In the embodiment, the determination flag is set in the determination storage area of the overall control RAM 65c when the determination result of whether or not the continuous notice effect can be executed is affirmative, and the continuous execution is continuously performed with the execution flag set. The overall control CPU 65a can recognize that the notice effect is being executed. Note that the execution flag is returned to the initial value by performing the main variation effect of the continuous notice effect.

  Thus, every time the main control CPU 60a acquires the winning information, the overall control CPU 65a also functions as an effect content prefetching means for specifying the effect contents based on the acquired winning information. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a performs a continuous notice effect (pre-read notice effect) in the symbol combination effect that is executed based on the start hold information already stored in the main control RAM 60b as the hold storage means at the time of winning information acquisition. Whether or not to execute it is determined every time winning information is acquired, based on the content of the effect specified by the main control CPU 60a or the overall control CPU 65a as the effect content pre-reading means. A function as a determining means). More specifically, the overall control CPU 65a as the continuous notice determination execution means is executed based on the start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 31, 32, 35. Whether or not to perform a continuous advance notice effect across the symbol combination effects is determined based on the start hold information at the time of winning stored in the start hold information in response to winning at the start winning opening 31, 32, 35 Judgment. Furthermore, when it is determined not to execute the continuous notice effect, the symbol display effect is executed by the symbol display means based on the start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c as the hold storage means, and the continuous display effect is displayed. If the execution of the notice effect is determined, the continuous notice effect is executed across a plurality of symbol combination effects performed based on the start hold information stored in the hold storage means, and the notice information determination means The overall control CPU 65a has a function as an effect execution control means for executing the actual change effect of the continuous notice effect based on the start hold information corresponding to the winning information that triggered the execution of the continuous notice effect.

(Determining the number of executions)
Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the overall control CPU 65a determines execution of the continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines the number of changes (number of executions) of the symbol combination effect (unit change effect) for executing the continuous notice effect. (Step D12). Here, the overall control CPU 65a executes in the continuous notice effect, with the number of start pending information stored in the main control RAM 60c as the maximum number of consecutive times when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 31, 32, 35. The number of symbol combination effects to be performed is determined within the range of the maximum number of consecutive times. Regarding the determination of the number of executions, the time when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 31, 32, 35 is the time when the main control CPU 60a sets the pre-read command for determining the execution of the continuous notice effect. At the time of winning. Here, in the pre-read command, as described above, when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 31, 32, 35, the number of special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c (that is, the storage number “1”). ˜ “8”) is included. Therefore, in the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a determines the number of executions of the continuous notice effect within the range in which the number of special figure start hold information specified by the number information of the pre-read command is the maximum number of continuous times. In the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a is set so as to determine the number of stored special figure start suspension information specified by the stored number information of the prefetch command as the number of executions (that is, the maximum number of consecutive times = the number of executions). Here, the execution count determined by the overall control CPU 65a is stored as initial execution count information in a predetermined determination storage area of the overall control RAM 65c.

  The number of executions of the continuous notice effect determined by the overall control CPU 65a is set as an execution number counter in the determination storage area of the overall control RAM 65c. The value of the execution number counter is decremented by 1 every time the symbol combination effect is performed as the continuous notice effect after the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, and is stored in the overall control RAM 65c as the new execution number. In other words, when the execution number counter becomes “1” in a state in which execution of the continuous notice effect is decided (state in which the execution flag is set), the special figure start hold information decided to execute the continuous notice effect. Indicates that the symbol combination effect (main variation) is performed using the start-of-change information at the start of change, and the execution counter is “0”, indicating that the continuous notice effect has ended. Note that the execution flag is returned to the initial value when the execution number counter becomes “0”.

  Here, the determination of the number of times of execution of the continuous notice effect can be made based on the value given to the player in the main variation of the continuous notice effect. For example, it is possible to determine the number of executions based on whether or not a big hit occurs in the main variation of the continuous notice effect, or to determine the number of executions based on the type of big hit game when the big hit occurs in the main variation. More specifically, the number of executions is determined in the range where the number of special figure start hold information specified by the memory information of the pre-read command is the maximum number of consecutive times when a big hit occurs in the main fluctuation of the continuous notice effect. On the other hand, when a big hit does not occur in this change, the number of special figure start hold information specified by the number information of the pre-read command is the maximum number of consecutive times, and the predetermined number (for example, “3 times”) is the upper limit. The number of executions can be determined within the range.

  In addition, the number of executions of the continuous notice effect can be determined as many times as possible within the range in which the number of special figure start suspension information specified by the number information of the pre-read command is the maximum number of consecutive times. That is, for example, a random number for determining the number of executions updated every predetermined cycle (for example, 4 ms) is stored in the overall control RAM 65c, and the number of special figure start hold information stored in the case of “1” to “8” A determination value is assigned for each execution count, with the number of memories as the maximum number of consecutive times. If the general control CPU 65a obtains a random number for the number of times of execution when a prefetch command is input and determines the number of times of execution to which a determination value corresponding to the random number is assigned, the special chart start at the time of winning a prize It is possible to determine an arbitrary number of times within a range in which the number of stored hold information is the maximum number of consecutive times.

in this way,
The overall control CPU 65a has a function as an execution number determination means for determining the number of executions of the unit variation effect executed in the continuous notice effect. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a serving as the execution number determining means, when the determination result of the continuous notice effect determination is affirmative, is already in the main control RAM 60c when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 31, 32, 35. With the stored number of stored start hold information as the maximum number of consecutive times, the number of symbol combination effects to be executed in the continuous notice effect is determined within the range of the maximum number of consecutive times.

  When the overall control CPU 65a determines to execute the continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine the effect content of the symbol combination effect (unit variation effect) executed in the continuous notice effect as many times as the number of executions of the continuous notice effect. . In other words, when the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the design that is determined to be executed in the continuous notice effect is given priority over the effect specified by the effect pattern determined every time the symbol combination effect is executed. The effect content of the combination effect (unit variation effect) is displayed on the symbol display device 17. That is, when the continuous notice effect is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the effect contents of the continuous notice effect in advance. That is, when the overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a functions as predetermining the effect contents of the unit variation effect corresponding to the number of executions of the continuous notice effect, and decides not to execute the continuous notice effect. In this case, when the overall control CPU 65a executes the symbol combination effect in the symbol display device 17 based on the start hold information stored in the hold storage means, and the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the effect determined in advance. The symbol display effect (unit variation effect) of the content is configured to be executed by the symbol display device 17 for the number of executions.

(Regarding production control in specific production mode)
Next, decorative display control performed by the overall control CPU 65a in the specific effect mode will be described. In the overall control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, a plurality of display modes that define display states for performing symbol combination effects in the symbol display device 17 are set. The overall control CPU 65a determines one display mode according to the determination result. The display mode is configured so that the overall control CPU 65a determines each time the symbol combination effect is executed in the specific effect mode, and the display mode can be changed every time the symbol combination effect is performed. It can be done. Here, each display mode is set so that the background display displayed on the back of the decorative drawing of the symbol display device 17 is different, and the player can recognize the display mode according to the difference in the background display. ing. Each display mode is different in the content of the display (design derivation effect) from when the decorative drawing is started to change in the symbol combination effect performed by the symbol display device 17 until the decorative drawing is displayed in an identifiable state. The symbol derivation effect is set according to the display mode.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as a display mode that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a in the specific effect mode, the first display mode and the second display mode that is different from the first display mode are displayed. Two types of display modes, the display mode, are set. As shown in FIG. 11, the first display mode in the embodiment is set so that the background display is displayed in the display mode observed from the viewpoint of the teammate character 10 as a motif by the pachinko machine 10. As shown in FIG. 12, the mode is set so that the background display is displayed in a display mode in which the teammate character is observed from the outside from the viewpoint of a third party. Note that the display mode of the background display in the first display mode and the second display mode is not limited to this, and can be a display mode in which both display modes can be visually distinguished.

  In the first display mode, the determination of the special symbol per unit determination is performed before the decorative drawing is displayed in an identifiable state on the symbol display device 17 after the decorative drawing starts to change in the symbol combination effect. After displaying the display body before change which does not alert | report a result on the symbol display apparatus 17, the switching opportunity effect | action used as the opportunity to display a decorative drawing in the state which can be identified on the symbol display device 17 is displayed, and the said switching opportunity effect | action is displayed. At this time, at least one of the decorative drawings determined by the overall control CPU 65a is changed to the pre-change display body and displayed in an identifiable state on the symbol display device 17. It is set so that the first symbol derivation effect is performed (see 11). On the other hand, in the second display mode, after the decorative drawing is started to change in the symbol combination effect, the switching trigger effect is displayed on the symbol display device 17 before being displayed in a state where the decorative symbol can be identified. Thus, the second symbol derivation that is set so that the symbol display device 17 displays at least one ornament in the ornament determined by the overall control CPU 65a with the display of the switching opportunity effect as an opportunity. The performance is set to be performed (see FIG. 12). That is, the first symbol derivation effect performed in the first display mode and the second symbol derivation effect performed in the second display mode of the embodiment are changed to the symbol display device 17 before the switching trigger effect is displayed. The process until the decorative drawing is displayed in an identifiable state on the symbol display device 17 in terms of whether or not to display the front display body is set to be different. In FIGS. 11 and 12, “OB1” and “OB2” are attached to the display body before change, and “K” is attached to the switching opportunity effect.

  In the embodiment, the decorative display determined by the overall control CPU 65a is stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 17 in a temporarily stopped state when the switching trigger effect is displayed in the symbol derivation effect. That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special hit fluctuation pattern for big hit or losing (a special hit fluctuation pattern for direct hit or a special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach deviation) for which no reach effect is performed (special drawing). When a specified command is input), the display of the switching opportunity effect is displayed as an opportunity to display the 3 decorations corresponding to each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c in a temporarily stopped state, and the respective decorations are confirmed as they are. The overall control CPU 65a controls to stop display. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special hit fluctuation pattern for big hit or losing (a special bonus fluctuation pattern for big hit or a special figure fluctuation pattern for reach loss) for which a reach effect is performed (a special figure designation command). 3) corresponding to each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is displayed in a temporarily stopped state with the display of the switching opportunity effect as an opportunity, and the three decorative drawings of the temporary stop display are displayed. Is controlled by the overall control CPU 65a so that one of the drawings (for example, the decoration corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b) is changed again and the reach display is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Here, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit or off (special figure fluctuation pattern for big hit or special figure fluctuation pattern for out of reach) for which the reach effect is performed (special figure designation command) In the first or second display mode, the switching control effect is displayed in the first or second display mode, and the overall control CPU 65a determines the symbols in the decorative symbols of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. Two (for example, decorations corresponding to the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c) are stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 17 in a temporarily stopped state, and one decoration (for example, a decoration corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b) is displayed. ) May be displayed in a fluctuating state, and the reach display may be displayed on the symbol display device 17.

  When the special control variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect that specifies the execution of the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined by the main control CPU 60a (when the special figure designation command is input), the switching opportunity effect is displayed. In response to this, the three decorative drawings corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are displayed in a temporarily stopped state so that one continuous unit effect is performed and set. Here, in the embodiment, as described later, when the special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect specified to execute the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined, the symbol derivation effect in the first display mode. The overall control CPU 65a is set to determine to In the specific effect mode, when the pseudo continuous notice effect is performed, after the three decorative drawings corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are displayed in a temporarily stopped state in one continuous unit effect, Each decorative drawing is hidden, the next display body before change is displayed, and a switching trigger effect is displayed, and the three decorative drawings corresponding to each symbol row 26a, 26b, and 26c are triggered by the display of the switching trigger effect. The overall control CPU 65a controls to stop display again in the temporary stop state. In other words, when the special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined (when the special figure designation command is input), the display body before change is displayed by the number of times of the pseudo continuous set in the special figure variation pattern. At the same time, with the display of the switching opportunity effect as an opportunity, the three decorative drawings corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c are displayed in a temporarily stopped state.

  In the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment, an effect execution display area 17b capable of displaying an effect execution display indicating that a symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is performed in the specific effect mode is set. In other words, by displaying the effect execution table symbol in the effect execution display area 17b, the symbol combination effect is performed even in a state in which the decorative drawing is not displayed in a state where the decorative image can be identified on the display surface 17a of the symbol display device 17. Therefore, it is possible to play a game without causing unnecessary confusion. Here, the effect execution display area 17b is an area that is extremely small compared to the decoration drawing at a position different from the combination symbol position where the decoration drawing is displayed in the normal effect mode on the display surface 17a of the symbol display device 17. It is set to be. Specifically, an effect execution display area 17b is set at a corner (the lower left corner in the embodiment) of the display surface 17a, and an effect execution symbol displayed in the effect execution display area 17b is made as inconspicuous as possible. The effect execution display is configured not to obstruct the symbol derivation effect, and the player can refer to the effect execution display as necessary.

  Here, the effect execution symbol is set to be displayed differently from the decoration drawing. For example, as an effect execution pattern, the display for recognizing that the decoration drawing is being displayed in the normal effect mode is reduced, or the display of “○” or the like is flashed, or the motif of the pachinko machine 10 It is also possible to use a motion image of a character. Moreover, the display which is not mistaken with other decoration drawings can be employ | adopted as an effect execution symbol.

  When the overall control CPU 65a executes the symbol derivation effect, the overall control CPU 65a starts from when the symbol combination effect (first or second symbol derivation effect) is started until the switching opportunity effect is displayed on the display surface 17a. The effect execution symbol is displayed in the effect execution display area 17b, and the effect execution symbol is hidden when the switching trigger effect is displayed on the display surface 17a. That is, with the display of the switching opportunity effect as a trigger, the overall control CPU 65a performs control so that the decorative symbols are displayed at the combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12). It is configured to display a decorative figure at the combination symbol position as it is displayed, so that the player can be notified that the symbol combination effect is being performed.

(Determination of display mode)
In the overall control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 13, a display mode determination table is set in which the overall control CPU 65a determines a display mode in which a symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is performed in the specific effect mode. In the display mode determination table, a predetermined number of display mode determination determination values are assigned to each of the first display mode and the second display mode, and the display mode determination random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a is used. Based on this, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine the execution of the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) in one of the first and second display modes. That is, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine a display mode that matches the display mode determination random number value acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. Here, in the embodiment, a first display mode determination table in which the overall control CPU 65a determines a display mode in which a symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is performed based on the type of the special symbol variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. A second display mode determination table is set in which the overall control CPU 65a determines a display mode in which the main control CPU 60a performs the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) based on the determination result of the special symbol determination. In the first display mode determination table, the display mode is determined based on the first display mode determination random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a, and in the second display mode determination table, the first display mode determination table acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. The display mode is determined based on the display mode determination random number 2.

  As shown in FIG. 13 (a), the first display mode determination table is integrated when a specific special figure fluctuation pattern is decided by the main control CPU 60a (when a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command is inputted). The number of assigned first display mode determination determination values is set so that the ratio at which the control CPU 65a determines the first display mode and the second display mode is different. Specifically, in the embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern for leaching without reach specifying that the reach effect is not performed in the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect), The overall control CPU 65a is set so as to determine the display mode based on the display mode determination table. Here, in the first display mode determination table, the overall control CPU 65a determines the second display mode rather than the first display mode when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern for detachment without reach. The number of assigned first display mode determination determination values is determined so that the ratio is increased. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the special figure fluctuation pattern for losing reach is determined, the overall control CPU 65a has a higher ratio of determining the second display mode than the first display mode. Thus, the second symbol derivation effect is easily performed in the second display mode.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, 100 integer values from “0” to “99” are set as the first display mode determination determination values, and the special figure variation pattern for detachment without reach is determined. In this case, 30 determination values are assigned to the first display mode and 70 determination values are assigned to the second display mode. In other words, the symbol combination effect performed in the second display mode can be achieved in the first display mode by increasing the proportion of the second display mode that is determined when the non-reach special figure variation pattern is determined. It can be advanced at a faster tempo than the symbol combination effect to be performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the second display mode determination table indicates that the overall control CPU 65a performs the first display mode and the second display according to the determination result of the special figure determination by the main control CPU 60a. The number of assigned display values for determining the second display mode is set so that the ratio for determining the mode is different. In the embodiment, the second display mode determination table of the embodiment shows that when the determination per special figure is affirmative (winning), the determination per special figure is negative (missed). Compared to the case, the allocation number of the second display mode determination determination value is determined so that the ratio at which the first display mode is determined by the overall control CPU 65a is increased. The degree of expectation that the game is generated when the first symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect) is performed in the first display mode is greater than when the symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect) is performed. It is configured to be high.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, 100 integer values of “0” to “99” are set as the second display mode determination determination values, and the determination result of the special figure determination is affirmative ( In the case of (winning), 60 judgment values are assigned to the first display mode and 40 judgment values are assigned to the second display mode. In the case of (disconnection), 40 determination values are assigned to the first display mode and 40 determination values are assigned to the second display mode. That is, the player's interest in the display mode is increased because the degree of expectation that a winning game will occur depends on the display mode in which the symbol combination effect is performed.

  Here, various random numbers acquired by the overall control CPU 65a regarding the execution of the symbol derivation effect (the first display mode determination random number and the second display mode determination random number described above, the pre-change display body pattern determination random number described later, a plurality of random numbers Display pattern determining random number, effect system determining random number, first switching trigger effect pattern determining random number, second switching trigger effect pattern determining random number, display mode determining random number, display mode changing pattern determining random number, decorative drawing The stop pattern determination random number) is updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the overall control RAM 65c to rewrite the value before the update. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to acquire the random number value stored in the overall control RAM 65c at this timing. In the embodiment, the general control CPU 65a is configured to acquire a random value stored in the general control RAM 65c when a special figure variation pattern designation command is input to the general control board 65 (general control CPU 65a). Yes. Note that the opportunity for the overall control CPU 65a to acquire a random number value is not limited to this, and any timing may be used as long as the symbol derivation effect can be executed based on the determination by the overall control CPU 65a.

(About the display before change)
The pre-change display body displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect is a display unrelated to the decorative drawing that is variably displayed in the symbol combination effect. That is, when the display body before change is displayed on the symbol display device 17, the player determines the determination result of the special symbol determination, the type / combination of the decorations displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect, and the like. Cannot be recognized. In the embodiment, it is set so that an image representing an ally character and a hostile character that the pachinko machine 10 uses as a motif is displayed as a pre-change display body. The display body before change is not limited to this, and a display body that can be distinguished from the background display and can recognize the display number of the display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 is adopted. Is possible.

  In the overall control ROM 65b, a plurality of types of display body patterns before change that define display patterns of the display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect are set. When the symbol combination effect is performed in the first display mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines one pre-change display body pattern from a plurality of types of pre-change display body patterns. Here, the display body pattern before change defines the display number of the display body before change to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first design derivation effect and the display mode of the display body before change to be displayed. Therefore, the overall control CPU 65a controls the display unit 17 to display the display body before the change in the number of displays specified by the determined display body pattern before the change.

  As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a plurality of pre-change display bodies (pre-change display body indicated by reference numeral OB1 in FIG. 11A) are displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the pre-change display body pattern. A predetermined number of plural display patterns and a single pre-change display body (pre-change display body indicated by reference numeral OB2 in FIG. 11B) are displayed on the symbol display device 17 by a predetermined number. A pattern is set, and the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine one of a plurality of display patterns and a single display pattern in accordance with the determination result of the special chart determination by the main control CPU 60a. Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, a plurality of types (eight types in the embodiment) of multiple display patterns are set in the overall control ROM 65b, and one type of single display pattern is set in the overall control ROM 65b. Note that the number of setting of the plurality of display patterns and the single display pattern is not limited to this, and any number can be set. In the following description, the eight types of multiple display patterns set as the multiple display patterns that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a may be referred to as first to eighth multiple display patterns to be distinguished.

  Each of the plurality of display patterns is set to specify that the symbol display device 17 displays three pre-change display bodies on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect. As a trigger, it is configured to display one decoration figure instead of one display body before change. That is, the plurality of display patterns include a first pre-change display body in which a left decoration corresponding to the left symbol row 26a is displayed in response to being hidden by the display of the switching trigger effect, and the switching A second pre-change display body in which an interior decoration map corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b is displayed in association with being displayed with the display of the trigger effect as a trigger, and non-display with the display of the switch trigger effect as a trigger. As a result, a third pre-change display body on which a right decoration corresponding to the right symbol row 26c is displayed is set one by one, according to a plurality of display patterns determined by the overall control CPU 65a. The first to third pre-change display bodies are displayed on the symbol display device 17.

  The singular display pattern is set so as to specify that one display body is displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect, and one change is triggered by the display of the switching trigger effect. Three decorative drawings are displayed instead of the front display body. That is, in the singular display pattern, three decorative drawings corresponding to each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are displayed as they are not displayed with the display of the switching trigger effect as a trigger. Is specified, and the display body before special change is displayed on the symbol display device 17 in accordance with the singular display pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the display body before change (first to third display bodies before change) that is changed to one decoration drawing with the display of the switching opportunity effect, and the display of the switching opportunity effect. As a trigger, a display body before change (display body before special change) that is changed into a plurality of decoration drawings (three in the embodiment) is set.

  Each of the plurality of display patterns and the single display pattern is set to specify the display mode of the display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect. Specifically, in the embodiment, two types of colors of “blue” and “red” are set as the display mode of the display body before change. That is, the plurality of display patterns are set to specify the colors of the three pre-change display bodies displayed on the symbol display device 17 by the plurality of display patterns, and are specified by the plurality of display patterns determined by the overall control CPU 65a. The first to third pre-change display bodies are displayed on the symbol display device 17 by a combination of colors. Specifically, as the multiple display patterns, the first multiple display pattern in which the display number of the “red” pre-change display object is set to “0” and the display number of the “red” pre-change display object is “ The second to fourth multiple display patterns set to “1”, the fifth to seventh multiple display patterns in which the display number of the display body before change of “red” is set to “2”, and “red” An eighth multiple display pattern in which the display number of the display body before change is set to “3” is set. Further, the singular display pattern is set so as to specify the color of one display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 by a plurality of display patterns, and is specified by the plurality of display patterns determined by the overall control CPU 65a. The display body before special change is displayed on the symbol display device 17 in color. Here, in the embodiment, one kind of single display pattern set to “blue” is set as the color of the display body before the special change. The display mode of the display body before change specified by the display body pattern before change (multiple display patterns and singular display patterns) is not limited to color, for example, the type of image of the display body before change, The size of the display body before change may be set.

(Determination of display pattern before change)
In the overall control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 14, a display body pattern determination table before change in which the overall control CPU 65a determines a display pattern of the display body before change to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 is set. In the pre-change display body pattern determination table, a predetermined number of pre-change display body pattern determination values are assigned to each of execution of a plurality of display patterns and execution of a singular display pattern, which are acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine either the execution of a plurality of display patterns or the execution of a singular display pattern based on the pre-change display body pattern determination random number. That is, when the pre-change display body pattern determination random number value acquired by the overall control CPU 65a matches the pre-change display body pattern determination determination value assigned to the execution of the plurality of display patterns, a plurality of display based on the plurality of display patterns. The overall control CPU 65a determines that the display body before change (that is, the first to third display bodies before change) is displayed, and the value of the random number for determining the display body pattern before change is assigned to the execution of the single display pattern. When the determination value matches, the overall control CPU 65a determines to display the single display body before change (that is, the display body before special change) based on the single display pattern. When the special control variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect that specifies execution of the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined by the main control CPU 60a (when a special figure designation command is input), the special figure change is performed. The overall control CPU 65a is set so that the pre-change display body pattern is determined by the number of pseudo-continuous times specified by the pattern.

  Here, the pre-change display body pattern determination table changes so that the ratio at which the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of the plurality of display patterns and the execution of the single display pattern differs according to the determination result of the special figure determination by the main control CPU 60a. The number of assigned pre-display body pattern determination values is set. In the embodiment, the pre-change display body pattern determination table of the embodiment is such that when the determination per special figure is affirmative (winning win), the determination per special figure is negative (missed). Compared to the case, the number of assigned pre-change display body pattern determination values is determined so that the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution rate of the singular display pattern, and the first number based on the plurality of display patterns is determined. The expectation that the game will be generated when the first symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect) is performed based on the single display pattern, rather than when the symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect) is performed Is configured to be high.

  That is, when the first display mode (first symbol derivation effect) is determined, based on the pre-change display body pattern determination table according to the determination result of the special symbol determination by the main control CPU 60a. The overall control CPU 65a determines either the execution of the multiple display patterns or the execution of the singular display patterns, and determines the number of display bodies before change in the first symbol derivation effect (three or one in the embodiment). It is configured to As described above, since the pre-change display body is not displayed in the second symbol derivation effect, when the second display mode (second symbol derivation effect) is determined, the overall control CPU 65a It is set not to determine the display object before change.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, 100 integer values from “0” to “99” are set as the determination values for determining the pre-change display body pattern, and the determination result of the special figure determination is affirmative ( In the case of (winning), 60 judgment values are assigned to the execution of the multiple display patterns and 40 judgment values are assigned to the execution of the singular display pattern. In the case of (missing), 90 determination values are assigned to the execution of a plurality of display patterns, and 10 determination values are assigned to the execution of a single display pattern. In other words, the expectation that the winning game will be generated differs depending on the number of display objects before change displayed in the first display mode, so that the player for the first symbol derivation effect performed in the first display mode Has increased interest.

(About determining the type of multiple display patterns)
Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the overall control ROM 65b, when it is determined to execute the first symbol derivation effect based on the plurality of display patterns, one of the plurality of display patterns is selected. A multiple display pattern determination table in which the overall control CPU 65a determines the display pattern is set. In the multiple display pattern determination table, a predetermined number of multiple display pattern determination determination values are assigned to each of the first to eighth multiple display patterns, and the multiple display pattern determination table acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. Based on the random number, the overall control CPU 65a determines one of the first to eighth display patterns. That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines a plurality of display patterns to which a determination value that matches the values of the random numbers for determining the plurality of display patterns acquired by the overall control CPU 65a is assigned.

  Here, the multiple display pattern determination table is set so that the ratio determined by the overall control CPU 65a differs for each type of the multiple display patterns in accordance with the determination result of the special figure determination by the main control CPU 60a. In the embodiment, the plurality of display pattern determination tables indicate that the winning game is a result of the first symbol derivation effect (design combination effect) depending on the number of display bodies before change displayed in a specific display mode (red in the embodiment). A predetermined number of determination values for determining a plurality of display patterns are assigned to each of the first to eighth display patterns so that the expected degrees of occurrence are different. In other words, the multiple display pattern determination table of the embodiment shows that when the determination per special figure is affirmative (winning), compared to the case where the determination per special figure is negative (missed). The first to eighth plurality of display patterns so that the overall control CPU 65a determines a higher ratio of the plurality of display patterns in which the display number of the display body before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set larger. A determination value for determining a plurality of display patterns is assigned to.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, 100 integer values “0” to “99” are set as the determination values for determining a plurality of display patterns. Then, when the determination result of the special figure determination is affirmative determination (winning), the first number of display bodies before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set to “0”. Five determination values are assigned to the plurality of display patterns, and the second to fourth plurality of display patterns in which the display number of the display body before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set to “1”. For the fifth to seventh multiple display patterns in which 10 determination values are assigned and the display number of the display body before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set to “2” Twenty determination values are assigned to the eighth multiple display pattern in which 15 determination values are assigned and the display number of the display body before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set to “3”. Assigned. In addition, when the determination result of the special figure determination is negative determination (missing), the first plurality of displays in which the display number of the display body before change displayed in the specific display mode (red) is set to “0”. For the second to fourth display patterns in which 20 judgment values are assigned to the pattern and the display number of the display body before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set to “1”. 10 for the fifth to seventh display patterns in which the display number of the display body before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set to “2”. 5 judgment values are assigned to the eighth multiple display pattern in which the display number of the display body before change displayed in a specific display mode (red) is set to “3”. ing. That is, it is performed in the first display mode because the degree of expectation that the winning game is generated differs depending on the combination (display number) of the display mode (color) of the display body before change displayed in the first display mode. The player's interest in the first symbol derivation effect is increased. Note that the number of determination values for determining multiple display patterns in the multiple display pattern determination table is not limited to that described above, and can be arbitrarily changed. In the embodiment, the example in which the pre-change display body pattern determination table and the plurality of display pattern determination tables are set separately has been described. However, they can be set as one table.

(About switching opportunity production)
The switching opportunity effect displayed on the symbol display device 17 is such that the pre-change display body displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect is destroyed by the display of the switching opportunity effect. It is an effect display video in a form that can be recognized so as to disappear (become hidden). In addition, in the switching opportunity effect, combination symbol positions (specifically, display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 described later) where the decorations determined by the overall control CPU 65a are displayed are displayed. An order suggestion effect (blow effect and consecutive attack effect) that suggests the order of the combination symbol positions for displaying the figures is set, and the order suggestion effect is displayed, whereby the decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is displayed. Can be recognized by the player. In the embodiment, in the first symbol derivation effect, the effect display image recognized by the player so that the display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 is torn and disappears is used as the switching opportunity effect. 17 is set to be displayed. Further, the switching opportunity effect displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the second symbol derivation effect is of the same type (display form) as the switching trigger effect displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect. An effect display image is set. That is, in the specific effect mode of the embodiment, regardless of which of the first display mode (first symbol derivation effect) and the second display mode (second symbol derivation effect) is determined, the switching trigger effect After the same type of effect display video is displayed on the symbol display device 17, the decoration diagram determined by the overall control CPU 65a is displayed on the symbol display device 17. FIG. 11A and FIG. 12 show a state in which the same switching opportunity effect K is displayed.

(Regarding the switching opportunity production pattern)
In the overall control ROM 65b, a plurality of types of switching trigger effect patterns for specifying switching trigger effects to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first or second symbol derivation effects are set. Is performed, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine one switching trigger presentation pattern from the plurality of types of switching trigger presentation patterns. Here, as the switching opportunity production pattern, a plurality of types of patterns having different types of production contents of the specified switching opportunity production are set. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, as a switching opportunity effect pattern, a combination symbol position in which a decorative symbol is displayed in place of the pre-change display body, and a series of continuous display in the order of the combination symbol position in which the decorative symbol is displayed The switching trigger effect pattern (hereinafter referred to as a blow pattern) that identifies the switching trigger effect suggested by (1) and the combination symbol position where the decorative figure is displayed instead of the pre-change display body is displayed in the decorative pattern. A switching trigger effect pattern (hereinafter referred to as a "sequential attack pattern") that specifies a switching trigger effect (sequential impact effect) that is indicated by a discontinuous form display in the order of the combination symbol position that displays decorative drawings separately in the order of the combination symbol position ) And the combination symbol position where the decorative figure is displayed instead of the display body before change is suggested by a series of continuous displays regardless of the order of the combination symbol position where the decorative symbol is displayed. Trigger effect (cross-presentation) specified switch trigger effect pattern (hereinafter, referred to as cross pattern) is set and is. In other words, in the embodiment, the switching opportunity effect (the blow effect and the continuous attack effect) specified by the blow pattern and the continuous attack pattern is the order suggesting effect. In other words, the overall control CPU 65a determines the display order of the decorative drawing corresponding to each symbol row with the determination of the switching trigger effect pattern. Further, when the special control variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect that specifies execution of the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined by the main control CPU 60a (when a special figure designation command is input), the special figure change The overall control CPU 65a is set to determine the switching trigger effect pattern by the number of times of pseudo-continuous times specified by the pattern.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, the overall control ROM 65 b is a first display that continuously displays switching trigger effects in an oblique direction from the upper left to the lower right of the display surface 17 a of the symbol display device 17. From the lower left side of the display surface 17a, the second blow pattern, the second blow pattern that continuously displays the switching trigger effect (blow effect) in a diagonal direction from the upper right part to the lower left part of the display surface 17a A third blow pattern that continuously displays a switch opportunity effect (blow effect) in a diagonal direction toward the upper right part, and a switch trigger effect in a diagonal direction from the lower right part to the upper left part of the display surface 17a ( A series of fourth blow patterns that continuously display a single blow effect) and a switching opportunity effect (a single blow effect) in the vertical direction from the substantially central upper part on the left and right sides of the display surface 17a to the substantially central lower part on the left and right. Display continuously A fifth blow pattern and a sixth blow that continuously displays a switching trigger effect (blow effect) in the horizontal direction from the upper and lower substantially central left parts of the display surface 17a toward the upper and lower substantially central right parts. A pattern is set as a switching trigger effect pattern of the blow pattern. Further, the overall control ROM 65b includes a first consecutive strike pattern in which the switching trigger effect (continuous strike effect) is individually and continuously displayed in the order of the left side, the right side, and the left and right sides of the display surface 17a in the symbol display device 17; A second consecutive strike pattern that displays the switching opportunity effect (continuous strike effect) individually and sequentially in the order of the right side, the left side, and the left and right center of the display surface 17a, and the left side, the left and right center, and the right side of the display surface 17a. The third consecutive attack pattern that displays the switching opportunity effect (continuous attack effect) individually and sequentially in order is set as the switching trigger effect pattern of the consecutive attack pattern, and the upper left of the display surface 17a in the symbol display device 17 A crossing effect that continuously displays a switching opportunity effect from the upper right to the lower left and continuously displays a switching opportunity effect from the upper right to the lower left is an opportunity to switch the cross pattern. It is set as a pattern. That is, in the continuous attack pattern, the switching opportunity effect is displayed three times. It should be noted that the number of hit patterns, consecutive hit patterns, and cross patterns is an example. In addition, the number shown in each continuous attack pattern of FIG. 16 has shown the display order of the switching opportunity effect.

  In the overall control ROM 65b, an effect system determination table (see FIG. 17) in which the overall control CPU 65a determines an effect system of the switching opportunity effect displayed in the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect), and the determined switching opportunity effect. A switching trigger effect pattern determination table (see FIG. 18) is set in which the overall control CPU 65a determines one switching trigger effect pattern from one of the switching trigger effect patterns included in this effect system. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the symbol derivation effect is performed, the overall control CPU 65a primarily determines the effect system of the switching opportunity effect (any one of the blow effect, the continuous attack effect, and the cross effect), Based on the determination, the overall control CPU 65a secondarily determines any one of the first to sixth blow patterns, the first to third blow patterns, and the cross pattern, so that the symbol display device 17 The switching opportunity effect to be displayed is specified.

  Here, the type of effect system of the switching opportunity effect that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a is set to be determined according to the type of the pre-change display body pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a. In the embodiment, the switching control effect production system that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a according to whether or not a specific display body pattern before change (single display pattern in the embodiment) is determined as the display body pattern before change. The production system determination table is set so that the types of the different production types are different. In the production system determination table, a predetermined number of production system determination determination values are assigned to the blow production, the continuous production, and the cross production, and based on the production system decision random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a, The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine execution of the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) in any one of the effect, the continuous attack effect, and the intersection effect. In other words, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine the switching opportunity effect (one-stroke effect, consecutive attack effect, and intersection effect) that matches the value of the effect system determination random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, if the value of the random number for determining the effect system acquired by the overall control CPU 65a matches the determination value for determining the effect system assigned to the blow effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines to display the change trigger effect of the blow effect. Then, when the value of the random number for determining the effect system matches the determination value for determining the effect system assigned to the attack effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the trigger effect effect of switching the effect effect is displayed. When the random value for determining the effect system matches the determination value for determining the effect system assigned to the intersection effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines to display the switching effect effect of the intersection effect.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, 100 integer values “0” to “99” are set as the determination values for effect system determination. When the singular display pattern is determined by the overall control CPU 65a, all the production system determination determinations are made with respect to the crossing effects in the production system of the switching trigger effect regardless of the determination result of the determination per special figure. A value has been assigned. Therefore, when the overall control CPU 65a determines a single display pattern, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine a cross pattern for specifying a cross effect as a switching trigger effect pattern. Here, as described above, the singular display pattern is more comprehensive in the case of a positive determination (winning win) than in the case of a negative determination (miss) as compared with the multiple display patterns as described above. The pre-change display pattern determination table is set so that the ratio determined by the control CPU 65a is increased. Accordingly, the degree of expectation that the winning display is displayed differs depending on the type of switching trigger effect pattern (effect system) determined by the overall control CPU 65a.

  In addition to the case where the singular display pattern is determined by the overall control CPU 65a, the rate at which the overall control CPU 65a determines the one-shot effect and the continuous-action effect differs according to the determination result of the special figure determination by the main control CPU 60a. The number of assigned production system determination values in the production system determination table is set. In the embodiment, the production system determination table of the embodiment is compared with the case where the determination per special figure is negative (missed) when the determination per special figure is positive (winning win). In addition, the assigned number of determination values for determining the production system is determined so that the rate at which the blow effect is determined by the overall control CPU 65a is high, and the continuous effect is displayed as the switching opportunity effect in the symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect). It is configured such that the expectation level that a hit game is generated is higher when the blow effect is displayed than when the hit effect is displayed.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, 100 integer values from “0” to “99” are set as the determination values for production system determination, and the determination result of the special figure determination is affirmative (winning). In this case, 60 determination values are assigned to the blow effect and 40 determination values are assigned to the continuous attack effect. If the determination result of the special figure determination is negative (out), the blow Forty effects are assigned to the effects, and 60 evaluation values are assigned to the continuous effects. That is, when the overall control CPU 65a has not determined a single display pattern, the overall control CPU 65a determines a blow pattern for specifying a blow effect or a blow pattern for specifying a continuous attack effect as a switching trigger effect. Yes. That is, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the second display mode (execution of the second symbol derivation effect that does not display the pre-change display body) and when the overall control CPU 65a determines a plurality of display patterns, Any of the strike patterns is determined by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, when the overall control CPU 65a has not determined a single display pattern, various switching trigger effects can be displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first and second symbol derivation effects.

  Further, in the overall control ROM 65b, when the overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the blow effect as the switching trigger effect, one switching trigger effect pattern is selected from the first to sixth blow patterns that specify the blow effect. The first switching opportunity effect pattern determination table is set in which the overall control CPU 65a determines. In the first switching trigger effect pattern determination table, a predetermined number of first switching trigger effect pattern determination values are assigned to the first to sixth blow patterns, and the first control trigger 65a acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. The overall control CPU 65a determines that the switching trigger effect specified by one of the first to sixth blow patterns is displayed in the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) based on the random number for determining the switching trigger effect pattern of 1. It is configured to That is, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine one of the first to sixth strike patterns that matches the first switching trigger effect pattern determination random number value acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. In other words, the overall control CPU 65a determines a blow pattern to which the first switching trigger effect pattern determining determination value that matches the first switching trigger effect pattern determining random number value acquired by the overall control CPU 65a is assigned. ing.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18 (a), the first switching opportunity effect pattern determination table is set for each of the first to sixth blow patterns according to the determination result of the special figure determination by the main control CPU 60a. The ratio determined by the overall control CPU 65a is set to be different. Specifically, in the first switching trigger effect pattern determination table, 100 integer values set as the determination values for determining the first switching trigger effect pattern indicate that the determination per special figure is positive ( In the case of determination of (winning), it is set so that the number of allocations of the determination value for determining the first switching trigger effect pattern is increased in the order of the first to sixth blow patterns, and the determination per special figure is negative In the case of determination of “displacement”, the number of allocations of determination values for determining the first switching trigger effect pattern is set to decrease in the order of the first to sixth blow patterns. In addition, the number of allocations of the determination value for determining the first switching trigger effect pattern in the first switching trigger effect pattern determination table is not limited to that described above, and can be arbitrarily changed. That is, the first switching opportunity effect pattern determination table is a decorative drawing that becomes a win display as a result of performing the switching trigger effect of the blow effect specified by each blow pattern in the order of the first to sixth blow patterns. The first switching trigger effect pattern determination value is assigned to each blow pattern so that the expected degree of display of the combination is high. In this way, the expectation that the hit game is generated differs depending on the display content of the switching opportunity effect (blow effect) specified by the blow pattern, so that it is specified by the blow pattern in the first or second symbol derivation effect. It is raising the player's interest in switching opportunity production.

  Further, in the overall control ROM 65b, when the overall control CPU 65a decides to execute the continuous attack effect as the switching opportunity effect, one of the first to third consecutive attack patterns for specifying the consecutive attack effect is switched from one to the other. A second switching opportunity effect pattern determination table in which the overall control CPU 65a determines the opportunity effect pattern is set. In the second switching opportunity effect pattern determination table, a predetermined number of second switching opportunity effect pattern determination values are assigned to the first to third consecutive attack patterns, and the overall control CPU 65a acquires them. Based on the random number for determining the second switching trigger effect pattern, the overall control CPU 65a displays the switching trigger effect specified by any one of the first to third attack patterns in the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect). Is configured to determine. That is, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine one of the first to third consecutive attack patterns that matches the value of the second switching trigger effect pattern determination random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines a continuous attack pattern to which the second switching trigger effect pattern determination value that matches the second switching trigger effect pattern determination random number value acquired by the overall control CPU 65a is assigned. It has become.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18B, the second switching opportunity effect pattern determination table is set for each of the first to third consecutive attack patterns according to the determination result of the special figure determination by the main control CPU 60a. The ratio determined by the overall control CPU 65a is set to be different. Specifically, in the second switching trigger effect pattern determination table, 100 integer values set as determination values for determining the second switching trigger effect pattern indicate that the determination per special figure is positive ( In the case of determination of (winning), the number of determination values for determining the second switching trigger effect pattern determination is set to increase in the order of the first to third consecutive attack patterns, and the determination per special figure determination is negative. In the case of determination of (disconnection), the number of allocations of determination values for determining the second switching trigger effect pattern is set to decrease in the order of the first to third consecutive attack patterns. In addition, the number of allocations of the determination value for determining the second switching trigger effect pattern in the second switching trigger effect pattern determination table is not limited to the above-described one, and can be arbitrarily changed. In other words, the second switching opportunity effect pattern determination table is a win display as a result of performing the switching effect effect of the consecutive attack specified by each consecutive attack pattern in the order of the first to third consecutive attack patterns. The second switching trigger effect pattern determination value is assigned to each consecutive attack pattern so that the degree of expectation that the combination of decoration drawings is displayed is high. As described above, the expectation that the hit game is generated depends on the display content of the switching trigger effect (sequential impact effect) specified by the consecutive attack pattern. The player's interest in the specified switching opportunity effect is increased.

  Here, as described above, the singular display pattern is more comprehensive in the case of a positive determination (winning win) than in the case of a negative determination (miss) as compared with the multiple display patterns as described above. The pre-change display pattern determination table is set so that the ratio determined by the control CPU 65a is increased. Accordingly, the degree of expectation that the winning display is displayed differs depending on the type of the switching trigger effect pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a. As described above, the switching trigger effect specified by the cross pattern of the embodiment is that the overall control CPU 65a performs the display when the display body before change specified by the single display pattern is displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first display mode. The switching opportunity effect that is set as a determinable dedicated effect and is specified by the blow pattern and the continuous attack pattern is set as a common effect that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a in the first display mode and the second display mode. .

(Determination of display mode of switching opportunity effect)
Further, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine the display mode of the switching trigger effect according to the determination result of the special figure determination when executing the switching trigger effect. In the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a is set to determine the color for displaying the switching trigger effect on the symbol display device 17 from a plurality of colors according to the determination result of the special symbol per determination, and the same switching trigger is set. When the switching opportunity effect specified by the effect pattern is displayed on the symbol display device 17, the degree of expectation that the combination of decorative drawings that will be displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect (the symbol derivation effect) is displayed in the color ( It is configured differently depending on the display mode. Specifically, in the embodiment, five types of “blue”, “green”, “red”, “gold”, and “rainbow” are set as the colors of the switching opportunity effect that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a. One of the colors is determined by the overall control CPU 65a. Note that the display mode of the switching trigger effect determined by the overall control CPU 65a is not limited to the color of the switching trigger effect. For example, when the switching trigger effect is displayed linearly, its size, length, number of displays, etc. It is also possible.

  In the overall control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 19, a display mode determination table is set in which the overall control CPU 65a determines a display mode (color) for displaying the switching opportunity effect. Here, in the display mode determination table, when either the blow pattern or the cross pattern is determined as the switching trigger effect pattern, the overall control CPU 65a determines the display mode (color) for displaying the switching trigger effect. 1 display mode determination table, and a second display mode determination table in which the overall control CPU 65a determines a display mode (color) for displaying the switching trigger effect when the continuous attack pattern is determined as the switching trigger effect pattern. And are set.

  In the first display mode determination table, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the determination per special figure is affirmative (winning win), “blue”, “green”, “red” ”,“ Gold ”in order of the number of assigned display mode determination values, and when the judgment per special figure is negative (out of),“ blue ”,“ green ” , “Red”, “Golden” are set so that the number of assigned display mode determination values decreases, and specified by the blow pattern and cross pattern based on the display mode determination random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine a display mode (color) for displaying the switching opportunity effect. That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines the display mode (color) of the switching trigger effect to which the determination value that matches the value of the display mode determination random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a is assigned. That is, when the switching trigger effect specified by the blow pattern and the cross pattern in the symbol derivation effect is displayed in one of the display modes (colors) of “blue”, “green”, “red”, and “gold”, Depending on the display mode, the degree of expectation that a combination of decorative drawings to be displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is changed. In the first display mode determination table, a predetermined number (four in the embodiment) of display modes are determined for “rainbow color” when the determination per special figure is affirmative (winning wins). When the determination value is assigned, but the determination per special figure is negative (disconnected), the number of display mode determination determination values assigned to “rainbow” is set to “0”. That is, when the switching trigger effect specified by the blow pattern and the cross is displayed in a specific display mode (that is, rainbow color) in the symbol derivation effect, the winning combination is displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect). The fact that a combination of decoration drawings is displayed is definitely notified. In this way, by setting the display mode of the switching trigger effect that is definitely notified that the combination of decorations that will be the winning display is displayed, the switching trigger displayed in the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) The player's interest in the production can be further increased.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (b), the second display mode determination table set in the overall control ROM 65b is a display mode change pattern that specifies a change in the display mode of the switching trigger effect specified by the continuous attack pattern. Is set. Here, each of the display mode change patterns is set so as to specify a combination of display modes (colors) of each time in the switching trigger effect displayed three times based on each consecutive strike pattern, and the two display modes When the overall control CPU 65a determines one display mode change pattern based on the determination table, the display mode (color) when the switching opportunity effect is displayed based on the continuous attack pattern is specified. . Specifically, the first display mode change pattern is set to “blue” as the display mode (color) of the first to third switching trigger effects, and the second display mode change pattern is the first to second switching “Blue” is set as the display mode (color) of the opportunity presentation and “green” is set as the display mode (color) of the third switching opportunity presentation, and the third display mode change pattern is the first to third times. “Green” is set as the display mode (color) of the switching opportunity effect, and “blue” is set as the display mode (color) of the first and second switching event effects in the fourth display mode change pattern. “Red” is set as the display mode (color) of the third switching opportunity effect. In the fifth display mode change pattern, “blue” is set as the display mode (color) of the first switching opportunity effect, and “green” is set as the display mode (color) of the second switching opportunity effect. In addition, “red” is set as the display mode (color) of the third switching opportunity effect, and “red” is displayed as the display mode (color) of the first to third switching event effects. Is set. The number of display mode change patterns set can be arbitrarily changed.

  In the second display mode determination table, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), a predetermined number of display mode change pattern determination values are assigned to each of the first to sixth display mode change patterns. The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine any display mode change pattern based on the display mode change pattern determination random number acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first to sixth display mode change patterns in which the determination values that match the display mode change pattern determination random numbers acquired by the overall control CPU 65a are set.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 19B, the second display mode determination table is determined by the overall control CPU 65a for each display mode change pattern according to the determination result of the special figure determination by the main control CPU 60a. Is set to be different. In the embodiment, the second display mode determination table is compared with the case where the determination per special figure is negative (disappears) when the determination per special figure is positive (winning win). Thus, the first to sixth display modes are set so that the ratio of the display mode change pattern set with a larger number of display of the switching trigger effect displayed in the specific display mode (red) determined by the overall control CPU 65a is increased. A determination value for determining a display mode change pattern is assigned to the change pattern.

  Specifically, the second display mode determination table includes the display mode change patterns in the order of the first to sixth display mode change patterns when the determination per special figure is affirmative (winning win). In the case where the number of determination determination value allocations is set to increase, and the determination per special figure determination is negative (missing), the display mode change patterns in the order of the first to sixth display mode change patterns It is set so that the number of assigned decision values for determination decreases. Note that the number of assigned display mode change pattern determination values in the second display mode determination table is not limited to that described above, and can be arbitrarily changed. That is, in the second display mode determination table, the case where the “green” switching trigger effect is performed is more likely to be the result of the symbol combination effect (the symbol derivation effect) than the case where the “blue” switching trigger effect is performed. The display mode change pattern determination value is assigned to the display mode change pattern so as to increase the degree of expectation that the combination of decorations to be displayed is displayed, and “green” switching opportunity effect is performed. When the “red” switching trigger effect is performed, the display mode change pattern is set so that the expectation that the combination of decorations that will be displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is displayed is higher. A determination value for determining a display mode change pattern is assigned. As described above, the expectation level in which the winning game is generated differs depending on the combination of display modes (colors) in the switching opportunity effect specified by the consecutive strike pattern, so that the first or second symbol derivation effect has the consecutive hit pattern. The player's interest in the specified switching opportunity effect is increased.

(About decorative pattern stop pattern)
In the overall control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 20, in the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) performed in the specific effect mode (first display mode and second display mode), the switching trigger effect is executed. As a trigger, a plurality of decorative drawing stop patterns that set the combined symbol positions for displaying the decorative symbols of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c to be combined are set, and the first and second symbol derivation effects are set. When performing, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine one decoration drawing stop pattern. Here, a combination symbol position corresponding to at least one of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is set to include a plurality of display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 that can display a decorative drawing. In addition, one decoration corresponding to each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is displayed in one of the plurality of display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12. That is, in each decorative drawing stop pattern, display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 included in the combination symbol positions corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are specified one by one.

  In the embodiment, a plurality (12 in the embodiment) of display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 are provided at combination symbol positions corresponding to the left symbol row 26a, the middle symbol row 26b, and the right symbol row 26c, respectively. Is set to be included. Specifically, twelve display areas L1 to L12 having different display positions are set as combination symbol positions capable of displaying the ornament corresponding to the left symbol row 26a, and the ornament corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b can be displayed. Twelve display areas C1 to C12 having different display positions are set as various combination symbol positions, and twelve display areas R1 having different display positions are set as combination symbol positions capable of displaying a decoration corresponding to the right symbol row 26c. To R12 are set, and one display region L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 is set for each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c in each decoration stop pattern. In the overall control ROM 65b, 12 types of decoration stop patterns are set by combining the display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c one by one. In these descriptions, these decorative drawing stop patterns may be designated and distinguished from the first to twelfth decorative drawing stop patterns.

  Here, the display areas L1 to L9 and L12 of the decorative drawing corresponding to the left symbol row 26a specified by the first to ninth decorative drawing stop patterns and the twelfth decorative drawing stop pattern are displayed on the symbol display device 17. Display of the decorative drawing corresponding to the right symbol row 26c that is set at a position deviated to the left from the left and right center of the surface 17a and specified by the first to ninth decorative drawing stop patterns and the twelfth decorative drawing stop pattern. The areas R1 to R9, R12 are set at positions shifted to the right side from the center of the left and right of the display surface 17a in the symbol display device 17, and the first to ninth decoration stop patterns and the twelfth decoration stop. The display areas C1 to C9 and C12 of the decorative drawing corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b specified by the pattern are positioned close to the left and right centers of the display surface 17a in the symbol display device 17 (display areas L1 to L9 and L12 and display). Range R1 to R9, is set between the R12). That is, when the decorative drawing is displayed based on the first to ninth decorative drawing stop patterns and the twelfth decorative drawing stop pattern, the decorative drawings of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are shifted in the horizontal direction. By being displayed, it is set so that the player can recognize the decorations corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. In addition, the display area L1-L9, L12 of the decorative drawing corresponding to the left symbol row 26a, the display area C1-C9, C12 of the decorative drawing corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b, and the display region of the decorative drawing corresponding to the right symbol row 26c Each of R1 to R9 and R12 may be set so as to partially overlap in the left-right direction and the up-down direction.

  In addition, the display regions L10 and L11 of the decorative drawing corresponding to the left symbol row 26a specified by the tenth and eleventh decorative drawing stop patterns are on the left and right center sides and the upper side of the display surface 17a in the symbol display device 17. The display regions R10 and R11 of the decorative drawing corresponding to the right symbol row 26c specified by the tenth and eleventh decorative drawing stop patterns are set at the biased positions, and the left and right centers of the display surface 17a in the symbol display device 17 The display areas C10 and C11 of the decorative drawing corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b specified by the tenth and eleventh decorative drawing stop patterns are set at positions shifted to the lower side and the lower side, and the symbol display device 17 Is set at a position (between the display areas L10 and L11 and the display areas R10 and R11) close to the upper and lower centers of the display surface 17a. That is, when a decorative drawing is displayed based on the tenth and eleventh decorative drawing stop patterns, the decorative drawings of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are displayed while being shifted in the vertical direction. The decorations corresponding to the rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are set so that the player can recognize them. In addition, display areas L10 and L11 for decorative drawings corresponding to the left symbol row 26a, display areas C10 and C11 for decorative drawings corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b, and display areas R10 and R11 for decorative drawings corresponding to the right symbol row 26c. Each may be set so as to partially overlap in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

  Here, the display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 specified by each decoration stop pattern are configured to be different from each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is specified by each decoration stop pattern. The display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 may partially overlap. That is, by setting different combinations of display areas specified by the decorative drawing stop patterns, decorative drawings can be displayed at various positions.

(Determine decoration stop pattern)
As shown in FIG. 20, the decorative drawing stop pattern corresponds to the display order of decorative drawings corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c displayed on the symbol display device 17 triggered by the execution of the switching trigger effect. The types that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a are determined. Specifically, there are seven types of patterns (first, second, second) that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the decorative symbols are displayed in the order of the left symbol row 26a, the middle symbol row 26b, and the right symbol row 26c. The overall control CPU 65a determines that the decorative drawing stop patterns of 5th to 7th, 10th, 11th) are set and the decorative symbols are displayed in the order of the right symbol row 26c, the middle symbol row 26b, and the left symbol row 26a. Two types (3rd and 4th) of decorative pattern stop patterns are set as possible patterns, and control is performed when decorative patterns are displayed in the order of the right symbol row 26c, the left symbol row 26a, and the middle symbol row 26b. As patterns that can be determined by the control CPU 65a, two types (eighth and ninth) of decorative drawing stop patterns are set, and when the decorative drawings of the three symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are displayed simultaneously, the overall control CPU 65a Is a determinable pattern , Decoration view stop pattern of one (12) is set.

  In the overall control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 21, a decoration stop pattern determination table is set in which the overall control CPU 65a determines one decoration stop pattern from the plurality of decoration stop patterns. In the decorative drawing stop pattern determination table, a predetermined number of decorative drawing stop pattern determination determination values are assigned to any of the first to twelfth decorative drawing stop patterns, and the decorative graphic acquired by the overall control CPU 65a The overall control CPU 65a is configured to determine one of the first to twelfth decorative drawing stop patterns based on the stop pattern determination random number. That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines a decorative drawing stop pattern that matches the decorative drawing stop pattern determination random number value acquired by the overall control CPU 65a. Further, when the special control variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect that specifies execution of the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined by the main control CPU 60a (when a special figure designation command is input), the special figure change It is set so that the overall control CPU 65a determines the decorative drawing stop pattern by the number of pseudo-continuous times specified by the pattern.

  Here, the type of decoration stop pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a is set to be determined according to the type of the switching trigger effect pattern determined by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, the decoration drawing stop pattern determination table is set so that the overall control CPU 65a determines a decoration drawing stop pattern which is the display order of the decoration drawings in the display form of the switching opportunity effect specified by the switching opportunity effect pattern. Specifically, the first blow pattern that continuously displays the switching opportunity effect in the oblique direction from the upper left to the lower right part and the switching opportunity effect in the oblique direction continuously displayed from the lower left to the upper right part When one of the third blow patterns to be performed is determined, a determination value for determining a decorative drawing stop pattern is assigned to the first decorative drawing stop pattern and the second decorative drawing stop pattern, and from the upper right to the lower left Either the second blow pattern that continuously displays the switching trigger effect in the oblique direction toward the part and the fourth blow pattern that continuously displays the switching trigger effect in the diagonal direction from the lower right to the upper left Is determined, a decision value for determining a decorative drawing stop pattern is assigned to the third decorative drawing stop pattern and the fourth decorative drawing stop pattern, from the substantially central upper part of the left and right toward the substantially central lower part of the left and right. Vertical When the fifth blow pattern for continuously displaying the switching opportunity effect is determined in the direction, the determination value for determining the decoration stop pattern is set in the tenth decoration stop pattern and the eleventh decoration stop pattern. The overall control CPU 65a has one decoration drawing corresponding to the acquired decoration stoppage pattern determination random number out of the predetermined decoration stop patterns determined according to the type of the determined switching trigger effect pattern. The stop pattern is determined. Further, when the sixth blow pattern for continuously displaying the switching trigger effect in the horizontal direction from the substantially central left part toward the upper and lower substantially central right parts is determined, the fifth decorative drawing stop pattern is displayed. A determination value for determining a decoration stop pattern is assigned, and the overall control CPU 65a determines the fifth decoration stop pattern regardless of the acquired decoration stop pattern determination random number.

  Furthermore, when the 1st continuous attack pattern which displays a switching opportunity effect separately in order of the left side, the right side, and the left and right center is determined, the sixth decorative drawing stop pattern and the seventh decorative drawing stop pattern are displayed. When the determination value for determining the decorative drawing stop pattern is assigned, and the second consecutive attack pattern for individually displaying the switching opportunity effect in the order of the right side, the left side, and the left and right center is determined, the eighth decorative drawing stop is performed. When the decision value for determining the decoration stop pattern is assigned to the pattern and the ninth decoration stop pattern, and the third consecutive attack pattern for individually displaying the switching trigger effect in the order of the left side, the left and right center, and the right side is determined Are assigned to the first decorative drawing stop pattern and the second decorative drawing stop pattern are determined according to the type of the determined switching trigger effect pattern. From among the constant ornament Figure stop pattern, the overall control CPU65a according to the obtained decorative diagram stop pattern determination random number is adapted to determine one of the decorative Figure stop pattern. Furthermore, when a cross pattern for continuously displaying the switching trigger effect from the upper left to the lower right and continuously displaying the switching trigger effect from the upper right to the lower left is determined, No. 12 decoration stop pattern determination value is assigned to 12 decoration stop patterns, and the overall control CPU 65a determines the 12th decoration stop pattern regardless of the acquired decoration stop pattern determination random number. ing.

  In the decoration stop pattern determination table, as shown in FIG. 21, when the overall control CPU 65a determines one of a plurality of decoration stop patterns, the overall stop CPU 65a can determine the decoration stop pattern. The decorative drawing stop pattern determination value is equally assigned to each of the above. That is, in the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a determines one decoration stop pattern at an equal ratio from the determinable decoration stop patterns depending on the acquired decoration stop pattern determination random number. When the same switching opportunity effect is executed, the position where the decoration drawing is displayed is varied to enhance the interest of the game. Here, when the overall control CPU 65a determines one of a plurality of decoration stop patterns, the number of decoration stop pattern determination determination values assigned to the decoration stop pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a It can be made to differ according to the determination result of special figure determination. That is, in the decoration drawing stop pattern determination table, the decoration control stop pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the determination result of the special figure determination is affirmative determination (winning) than when the determination result is negative (out) By increasing or decreasing the decision value for determining the decoration stop pattern assigned to a specific decoration stop pattern in the list, the expectation level that the winning display is displayed differs depending on the position where the decoration is displayed. It is possible to increase the interest in the display position of the decorative drawing.

  Here, the decoration display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 specified by each of the decoration stop patterns that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a based on the same switching opportunity effect pattern are the decoration stop. It is set at a position where at least a part of the switching trigger effect displayed based on the switching trigger effect pattern corresponding to the pattern is overlapped, and a plurality of decorative drawings to be combined are displayed by the switching trigger effect. It is configured to suggest a display area. That is, each of the switching trigger effects is set to be displayed across a plurality of display areas included in one combination symbol position, and one decorative drawing that is a target of combination by the switching trigger effects is displayed. It is configured to suggest a plurality of display areas to be displayed, and enhances the sense of unity of a series of symbol derivation effects in which a decorative drawing is displayed triggered by a switching opportunity effect. Moreover, the process until a decoration drawing is displayed can be diversified by displaying a decoration drawing in a different position triggered by the same switching opportunity production. That is, the one-off effect as the switching opportunity effect is a combination symbol position (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1) for each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c on which the decorations to be combined are displayed. To R12) and displayed in a continuous form in the order of combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) for displaying a decoration.

  Specifically, each of the display areas L1, C1, and R1 on which the decorations of each symbol row 26a specified by the first decoration stop pattern are displayed and each symbol specified by the second decoration stop pattern. Each of the display areas L2, C2, R2 in which the decorative drawings in the row 26a are displayed includes at least a display of a switching opportunity effect specified by the first blow pattern corresponding to the first and second decorative drawing stop patterns. Set to overlap. In FIG. 11 (a), the switching trigger effect specified by the first blow pattern and the first and second decorative drawing stops that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the first blow pattern is determined. FIG. 12 (b) shows an example of the relationship between the decorative drawing display areas L1, C1, R1, L2, C2, and R2 corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c specified by the pattern. The switching opportunity effect specified by the pattern and the decoration corresponding to each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c specified by the twelfth decoration stop pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the cross pattern is determined The relationship between the display areas L12, C12, and R12 is shown as an example. Similarly, in FIG. 12, each of the display areas L6, C6, and R6 in which the decorations of each symbol row 26a specified by the sixth decoration stop pattern are displayed and the seventh decoration stop pattern are specified. Each of the display areas L7, C7, R7 in which the decorations of each symbol row 26a are displayed is a switching opportunity effect specified by the first consecutive strike pattern corresponding to the sixth and seventh decoration stop patterns. Is set to overlap at least a part of the display. Similarly, other decorative drawing stop patterns and switching trigger effect patterns are at least partially overlapped with the display of the switching trigger effect corresponding to each display area.

  In addition, the display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 of the decoration specified by the decoration stop pattern are displayed when the first symbol derivation effect is performed in the first display mode. It is set so that at least a part of the display position of the display body before change displayed on the display device 17 is overlapped, and at least at the display position of the display body before change that is hidden by the display of the switching opportunity effect. The decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is configured to be displayed in a partially overlapping state. In other words, the display position of the display body before change is based on the display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 of the decoration specified by the determined decoration stop pattern. , C1 to C12, and R1 to R12, the overall control CPU 65a is set so as to determine a position at least partially overlapping.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, when any one of the first to eighth display patterns is determined, the first to eleventh decoration stop patterns may be determined by the overall control CPU 65a. . Accordingly, each of the display areas L1 to L11 capable of displaying the decoration corresponding to the left symbol row 26a specified by the first to eleventh decoration stop patterns is not displayed with the display of the switching trigger effect as a trigger. Accordingly, at least a part of the display position of the first display body before change changed to the decoration corresponding to the left symbol row 26a overlaps, and the decoration corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b can be displayed. Each of the display areas C1 to C11 is changed to a decoration corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b in accordance with the display of the switching opportunity effect as a trigger, and the display position of the second pre-change display body Each of the display areas R1 to R11 that can be displayed at least partially overlaps and can display the decoration corresponding to the right symbol row 26c is not displayed with the display of the switching trigger effect as a trigger. Is changed to a decorative drawing corresponding to At least a portion is set so as to overlap with the display position of the third pre-change display body. FIG. 11A shows the display positions of the first to third pre-change display bodies specified by the plurality of display patterns, and the first and first controllable CPU 65a that can determine when the plurality of display patterns are determined. The relationship with the display area L1, C1, R1, L2, C2, R2 of the decoration drawing corresponding to each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the decoration drawing stop pattern of 2 is shown as an example.

  Further, when the singular display pattern is determined in the embodiment, the twelfth decorative drawing stop pattern may be determined by the overall control CPU 65a. Therefore, each of the display areas L12, C12, R12 capable of displaying the decoration corresponding to each symbol row 26a specified by the twelfth decoration stop pattern is hidden by the display of the switching trigger effect. Accordingly, at least a part of the display position of the display body before special change which is changed to a decoration corresponding to each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c is set. FIG. 11B shows the display position of the display body before the special change specified by the singular display pattern and the twelfth decoration stop pattern that can be determined by the overall control CPU 65a when the singular display pattern is determined. The relationship with the display area L12, C12, R12 of the decorative drawing corresponding to each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c to be performed is shown as an example.

  In this way, the overall control CPU 65a determines one combination from a plurality of types of combinations of the display body before change and the switching opportunity effect displayed on the symbol display device 17 as the effect display means in the symbol derivation effect. It functions as production determination means. In addition, the overall control CPU 65a functions as a display order determining unit that determines the order of the combination symbol position for displaying the decorative drawing instead of the pre-change display body from a plurality of types.

(Regarding the effect determination process by the overall control CPU 65a)
Next, an example of the effect determination process performed by the overall control CPU 65a in the specific effect mode will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the specific effect mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the continuous notice effect is being executed in step E11. Here, the middle of execution of the continuous notice effect is a state in which the player can grasp that the continuous notice effect is being performed, and the continuous notice effect for the number of executions is not being performed. That is, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the execution of the continuous notice effect is decided in the execution judgment of the continuous notice effect that is performed in response to the input of the prefetch command input from the main control board 60. Yes. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the continuous notice effect is being executed based on the continuous notice effect execution flag set when it is determined to execute the continuous notice effect. If it is not in the middle of execution of the continuous notice effect (if the continuous notice effect execution flag is “0”), the process proceeds to step E12, and if it is in the middle of execution of the continuous notice effect (the continuous notice effect execution flag is “1”). In case), the process proceeds to step E19.

  In step E12, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a is a specific special figure fluctuation pattern. In the embodiment, as the specific special figure fluctuation pattern, a direct special figure fluctuation pattern and a special figure fluctuation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect are set. The overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not a special figure variation pattern designation command for designating a diagram variation pattern is input from the main control CPU 60a. When the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a is not a specific special figure fluctuation pattern, the process proceeds to step E13, and the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a is the specific special figure fluctuation pattern. In this case, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first display mode (step E14).

  In step E13, the overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the display mode for executing the symbol combination effect is the first display mode. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a uses the first display mode determination table to acquire the first map when the special map variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a is a special map variation pattern for non-reach. The display mode to which the determination value that matches the display mode determination random number is assigned is determined (steps E14 and E15). In other words, when the special figure fluctuation pattern for leaching is determined, the second display mode is more easily determined by the overall control CPU 65a than the first display mode. Further, the overall control CPU 65a performs the second display acquired based on the second display mode determination table when the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a is other than the special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach. A display mode to which a determination value that matches the random number for mode determination is assigned is determined (steps E14 and E15). That is, when a special figure fluctuation pattern other than the special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach is determined, the overall display CPU 65a performs the first display mode and the second display mode according to the determination result of the special figure determination. Is determined.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the embodiment, when the specific special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the first display mode is forcibly determined by the overall control CPU 65a, and the specific special figure fluctuation is performed. When a special figure fluctuation pattern other than the pattern is determined by the main control CPU 60a, either the first display mode or the second display mode is selected based on the determination result of the special figure per unit determination by the main control CPU 60a. It is determined by the overall control CPU 65a. That is, when a winning game is generated, if a symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is performed in the first display mode, a decorative drawing can be displayed in a combination that is a winning display without a reach effect. On the other hand, in the case where the symbol combination effect (the symbol derivation effect) is performed in the second display mode, the decorative figure can be displayed in a combination that is a hit display with the reach effect. The fun of the game is enhanced by changing the process of deriving the combination of decorative drawings that will be displayed every time. Further, when a symbol combination effect (first symbol derivation effect) is performed in the first display mode, a pseudo continuous notice effect can be performed, whereas in the second display mode, a symbol combination effect (second When a symbol derivation effect) is performed, an effect other than the pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed, and the process of deriving the combination of decorative drawings to be displayed for each display mode is changed to change the game It is interesting.

  When the first display mode is determined as the display mode, the overall control CPU 65a determines the display pattern of the display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect (design combination effect) (step E16). Here, when the specific special figure variation pattern is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the overall control CPU 65a determines a single display pattern as the pre-change display body pattern. Further, when a special figure fluctuation pattern other than a specific special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by the main control CPU 60a, either the execution of a plurality of display patterns or the execution of a single display pattern is performed based on the pre-change display body pattern determination table. The overall control CPU 65a determines whether the Furthermore, when execution of a plurality of display patterns is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines any one of the first to eighth display patterns based on the plurality of display pattern determination tables.

  As described above, when the symbol combination effect (first symbol derivation effect) is performed in the first display mode and the winning game is generated, the display body before change specified by the single display pattern is the symbol display device 17. By displaying the display, it is possible to generate a sense of expectation that a decorative drawing can be displayed in a combination that is a hit display without a reach effect, and a display body before change specified by a single display pattern is displayed. It is possible to raise interest in and improve the interest of games. In addition, in the symbol combination effect (first symbol derivation effect), the expectation that a winning game will occur depending on whether a single pre-change display body or a plurality of pre-change display bodies are displayed. As the feeling changes, the sense of expectation that a winning game will occur will also change depending on the combination of the display modes (colors) of the display body before change, and the display before change displayed in the first symbol derivation effect It can attract interest in body types.

  When the display body pattern before change is determined in step E16 or the second display mode is determined in step E15, it is displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first or second symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect). The overall control CPU 65a determines the switching opportunity effect (step E17). Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a assigns a switching opportunity effect system (one of the blow effect, the continuous effect, and the cross effect) to which a determination value that matches the random number for determining the effect system acquired based on the effect system determination table is assigned. ). When the intersection effect is determined as the system for the switching opportunity effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines the cross pattern. In addition, when a blow effect is determined as a system of switching trigger effects, a determination value that matches the first switching trigger effect pattern determination random number acquired based on the first switching trigger effect pattern determination table is assigned. If the overall control CPU 65a determines one of the hit patterns, and the continuous effect is determined as the system of the switching trigger effect, the second acquired based on the second switching trigger effect pattern determination table The overall control CPU 65a determines one of the consecutive attack patterns to which a determination value that matches the random number for determining the switching opportunity effect pattern is assigned. Then, when a blow pattern or a cross pattern is determined as the switching trigger effect pattern, a display mode (color) for displaying the switching trigger effect specified by each pattern is displayed based on the first display mode determination table. The overall control CPU 65a determines. Moreover, when the continuous attack pattern is determined as the switching trigger effect pattern, by determining the overall control CPU 65a of any of the first to sixth display mode change patterns based on the second display mode determination table, The display mode (color) for displaying the switching opportunity effect of each time specified by the continuous attack pattern is determined.

  In this way, in the symbol combination effect (first or second symbol derivation effect), the expectation that the winning game will be generated is changed by the displayed switching trigger effect, so that it is displayed in the symbol derivation effect. It is possible to attract interest in the type of switching opportunity effect. When a specific special figure fluctuation pattern (a special figure fluctuation pattern for direct hitting or a special figure fluctuation pattern for pseudo-continuous production) is decided by the main control CPU 60a, the singular display pattern is decided as described above. Accordingly, a cross pattern is determined by the overall control CPU 65a as the switching opportunity effect pattern. Therefore, by displaying the switching opportunity effect specified by the cross pattern on the symbol display device 17, it is possible to generate a sense of expectation that a decorative drawing can be displayed in a combination that is a hit display without a reach effect, The interest of the decoration drawing displayed with the switching opportunity effect specified by the cross pattern as an opportunity can be increased and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When the switching opportunity effect pattern is determined in step E17, the combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L1) for displaying the decorative symbols of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c in the first or second symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect). L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) are determined by the overall control CPU 65a (step E18). Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a determines a decoration stop pattern assigned a determination value that matches the acquired decoration stop pattern determination random number based on the decoration stop pattern determination table. In this way, by determining the display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 of the decorative drawings corresponding to the respective symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c according to the determined type of the switching opportunity effect, the switching opportunity is determined. It is possible to enhance the effect of the effect by enhancing the relevance between the effect and the decorative drawing displayed when the switching opportunity effect is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 23, when the determination result in step E12 is in the middle of execution of the continuous notice effect (when the execution flag of the continuous notice effect is “1”), the overall control CPU 65a performs the first display mode. Is determined (step E19). That is, in the pachinko machine of the embodiment, when the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the overall display CPU 65a forcibly determines the first display mode. As described above, when the symbol combination effect (first symbol derivation effect) is performed in the first display mode, the continuous notice effect can be performed, whereas in the second display mode, the symbol combination effect (second (Design derivation effect) is performed, the effect other than the continuous notice effect is performed, and the process of deriving the combination of decorative drawings to be displayed for each display mode is changed to change the game It is interesting. Further, even when the continuous notice effect is performed, the symbol combination effect (first symbol derivation effect) can be performed in the first display mode, thereby increasing interest in the effect performed in the first display mode. it can. For example, in the first display mode, the suggestion effect that suggests the possibility of being the continuous notice effect is executed step by step so that the player has an interest in whether or not the continuous notice effect is performed. I am trying to make it.

  As shown in FIG. 23, when the determination result in step E12 is during the execution of the continuous notice effect (when the execution flag of the continuous notice effect is “1”), the initial number of executions of the continuous notice effect is “ The overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not it is greater than "1" (step E20). If the initial execution count is greater than "1", the overall control CPU 65a determines execution of a plurality of display patterns (step E21). If the initial execution count is “1”, the overall control CPU 65a determines the execution of the multiple display patterns (step E22). Here, when the execution of the multiple display patterns is determined, the overall control CPU 65a selects one of the first to eighth multiple display patterns based on the multiple display pattern determination table, as in step E16 described above. decide. That is, the overall control CPU 65a of the embodiment compulsorily displays the display pattern of the display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the first symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect) according to the initial number of executions of the continuous notice effect. Configured to be determined. At this time, when the initial number of executions of the continuous notice effect is “1”, the singular display pattern is determined as the display body pattern before change. The expectation that the winning display is displayed as a result of the production can be enhanced.

  If the determination result in step E12 is in the middle of execution of the continuous notice effect (when the execution flag of the continuous notice effect is “1”), whether or not it is the first symbol combination effect after deciding to execute the continuous notice effect. The overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not (step E23). Then, in the case of the first symbol combination effect after the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the switching trigger effect is determined based on the determined pre-change display body pattern (a plurality of display patterns and a single display pattern) (steps). E24). In this case, similarly to step E17 described above, one switching trigger effect pattern (one-shot pattern, one-shot trigger pattern, based on the first switching trigger effect pattern determination table and the second switching trigger effect pattern determination table). (Sequence pattern and cross pattern) are determined. Then, when a blow pattern or a cross pattern is determined as the switching trigger effect pattern, a display mode (color) for displaying the switching trigger effect specified by each pattern is displayed based on the first display mode determination table. The overall control CPU 65a determines. Moreover, when the continuous attack pattern is determined as the switching trigger effect pattern, by determining the overall control CPU 65a of any of the first to sixth display mode change patterns based on the second display mode determination table, The display mode (color) for displaying the switching opportunity effect of each time specified by the continuous attack pattern is determined.

  On the other hand, in the case of the symbol combination effect for the second and subsequent times after the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the same switching event effect (the switching event effect) as the switching event effect (switching event effect pattern) determined in the previous symbol combination effect. The overall control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern) (step E25). That is, the switching control effect pattern determined in the case of the first symbol combination effect after the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined by the overall control CPU 65a. For example, in the case of the first symbol combination effect after determining the execution of the continuous notice effect, if the first blow pattern is determined, the first symbol combination effect in the second and subsequent times of the continuous notice effect is determined. The overall control CPU 65a determines the blow pattern. In this way, when execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the switching trigger effect specified by the same switching trigger effect pattern is continuously displayed in each symbol combination effect (first symbol derivation effect). The player can be instructed that the continuous notice effect is being performed. In addition, in the case of the symbol combination effect of the second transition after determining the execution of the continuous notice effect, the display mode (color) that displays the switching trigger effect in each symbol combination effect (first symbol derivation effect) is integrated. The control CPU 65a determines. That is, based on the first display mode determination table or the second display mode determination table, depending on the switching trigger effect pattern determined in the case of the first symbol combination effect after the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined. The overall control CPU 65a determines a display mode (color) for displaying the switching trigger effect specified by the switching trigger effect pattern. As described above, when the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the variety of the continuous notice effect is improved by changing the display mode (color) of the switching opportunity effect displayed continuously.

  As shown in FIG. 23, when the determination result in step E12 is in the middle of execution of the continuous notice effect (when the execution flag of the continuous notice effect is “1”), when the switching trigger effect pattern is determined. Similarly to step E17, in the first symbol derivation effect (symbol combination effect), the combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) for displaying the decorative symbols of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are displayed. ) Is determined by the overall control CPU 65a (step E26).

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the specific effect mode, the first display mode and the second display mode are set as display modes in which the symbol combination effect can be performed in the symbol display device 17, and the special control by the main control CPU 60a. The overall control CPU 65a determines one of the display modes based on the determination result of the hit determination per figure. Here, in the embodiment, when the overall control CPU 65a determines the first display mode, the pre-change display body that does not notify the determination result of the special figure hit determination is displayed before the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed. After the display on the device 17, the switching trigger effect is displayed, and the display of the switching trigger effect is used as an opportunity to change to the display body before the change and to display a decorative pattern on the symbol display device 17. It is supposed to be executed. As described above, in the first display mode, the display of the change trigger is displayed after the display body before change is displayed on the symbol display device 17 before the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed, and the change is triggered by the display of the change trigger effect. By displaying the decorative drawing on the symbol display device 17 instead of the front display body, each combination symbol position (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) can be displayed on the symbol display device 17, and the conventional symbol combination effect of changing the combination while displaying the ornament diagram at the same combination symbol position in the symbol display device 17 Makes it possible to derive a combination of decorative drawings in different and novel forms. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the decorative drawing can be displayed in place of the display body before change displayed on the symbol display device 17 with the switching opportunity effect as an opportunity, so that the decorative drawing can be displayed in a novel form. The combination can be derived to improve the interest of the game. In addition, by changing the display body before change that does not notify the determination result of the special figure determination to a decorative drawing that notifies the determination result of the special figure determination in combination, the unexpectedness of the production is increased, and the game Interest can be improved.

  When the overall control CPU 65a determines the second display mode, the switching trigger effect is displayed before the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed without displaying the pre-change display body, and the display of the switching trigger effect is displayed. As a trigger, the second symbol derivation effect set to display the decoration diagram on the symbol display device 17 is executed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the second symbol derivation effect, the decoration is displayed in a novel form different from the conventional symbol combination effect in which the combination is changed in the symbol row while displaying the decoration diagram on the symbol display device 17. A combination of figures can be derived, and a combination of decorative figures can be derived in an unprecedented form to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition to providing the first symbol derivation effect (first display mode) and the second symbol derivation effect (second display mode), the first symbol derivation effect (first display mode) is performed. In this case, the expectation that the winning display is displayed is higher than that in the case where the second symbol derivation effect (second display mode) is performed. In other words, the first symbol derivation effect that displays the decorative figure by changing to the display body before change with the display of the switching opportunity effect, and the decorative drawing with the display of the switching opportunity effect without displaying the display body before the change A second symbol derivation effect to be displayed is provided, and depending on whether the symbol combination effect is performed in the first display mode or the second display mode, the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is displayed. As a result, it is possible to increase interest in the display mode in which the symbol combination effect is performed by configuring the degree of expectation that the hit display is displayed as a result. In addition, since the overall control CPU 65a is configured to be able to determine either the first display mode or the second display mode, the player's interest in switching the display mode of the symbol display device 17 is increased. Can be improved. Furthermore, when the display of the switching opportunity effect is used as an opportunity, the expectation that the winning display is displayed when the symbol derivation effect is displayed in which the decorative drawing is displayed instead of the display body before the change is increased. It is possible to attract interest in a decoration diagram displayed in a novel form that makes a decoration diagram.

  Here, in the specific effect mode, the symbol display device 17 set at a position different from the combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) where the decorations to be combined are stopped and displayed. In the effect execution display area 17b, from the start of the symbol combination effect until the switching trigger effect is displayed, an effect execution symbol different from the decorative drawing is displayed in a variable manner, and the effect execution is triggered by the display of the switching trigger effect. The effect execution symbols in the display area 17b are not displayed, and the decorative symbols are displayed at the combination symbol positions (display regions L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12). In this way, when the first or second symbol derivation effect is executed, the effect execution display area 17b is displayed from the start of the symbol combination effect until the switching opportunity effect is displayed (until the decorative drawing is displayed). By variably displaying the effect execution symbol, it is possible to inform the player that the symbol combination effect is being performed. Therefore, even if a combination of decorative figures in a novel form that has not been conventionally obtained is derived, it is possible to prevent confusion regarding whether or not the symbol combination effect is being performed. In addition, it is possible to prevent a display body before change displayed in a state in which no decorative drawing is displayed on the symbol display device 17 from being mistaken as an effect such as a demonstration that is not related to the symbol combination effect.

  In addition, a plurality of types of pre-change display bodies that can be displayed on the symbol display device 17 (first to sixth multiple display patterns, single display patterns as pre-change display body patterns) are set. A plurality of types of switching trigger effects that can be displayed (first to sixth blow patterns, first to third consecutive hit patterns, and cross patterns as switching trigger effect patterns) are set. In the first symbol derivation effect (first display mode), one combination (that is, the before-change display body pattern) is selected from a plurality of combinations of the display body before change that can be displayed on the symbol display device 17 and the switching opportunity effect. Since the overall control CPU 65a determines the switching trigger effect pattern), variations of the effect performed as the first symbol derivation effect can be varied. Similarly, in the second symbol derivation effect (second display mode), the overall control CPU 65a generates one switching trigger effect (switching trigger effect pattern) from a plurality of types of switching trigger effects that can be displayed on the symbol display device 17. Since it is comprised so that it may determine, the variation of the production performed as a 2nd symbol derivation production can be varied.

  Here, in the first symbol derivation effect, the display body before change is hidden after the switching trigger effect is displayed on the symbol display device 17, and the display position of the display body before change that has been hidden is displayed. The decorative display determined by the overall control CPU 65a is displayed on the symbol display device 17 in a state where at least a part thereof overlaps. That is, by changing the display so that the display body before change disappears from the symbol display device 17 with the display of the switching opportunity effect, the display is displayed so that a decoration is newly generated instead of the display body before change. The sense of unity of the effect when the first symbol derivation effect is performed can be enhanced. In addition, an effect that changes from a display body before change to a decoration drawing is displayed by newly displaying the decoration drawing in a state where at least a part overlaps the display position where the display body before change was displayed before being hidden. Can be achieved, and a novel and unprecedented production can be realized without a sense of incongruity.

  Further, in the first symbol derivation effect, a plurality of pre-change display bodies are displayed on the symbol display device 17 or a single pre-change display body is displayed based on the determination of the pre-change display body pattern by the overall control CPU 65a. As a result, the pre-change display body displayed in the first symbol derivation effect can be prevented from becoming uniform, and the effect can be diversified. Further, when a plurality of pre-change display bodies are displayed on the symbol display device 17 (when a plurality of display patterns are determined), and when a single pre-change display body is displayed on the symbol display device 17 (single display pattern). ), The degree of expectation that the hit display is displayed as a result of the first symbol derivation effect differs, and the interest in the display number of the display body before change displayed in the first symbol derivation effect. In addition, it is possible to improve the interest in the decorative drawing displayed in place of the pre-change display body that does not notify the determination result of the special figure determination means. Further, when a plurality of pre-change display bodies are displayed, the degree of expectation that the winning display is displayed in the first symbol derivation effect differs depending on the combination of the display modes (colors). It is possible to increase interest in the display mode of the display body before change displayed in the symbol derivation effect. In this way, by setting multiple types of pre-change display bodies with different display counts and display modes, the decorative display is displayed by making the expected display level of the hit display different depending on the determined pre-change display body It is possible to increase the interest of the player and make the game more interesting before the game starts.

  Further, in the first or second symbol derivation effect, based on the determination of the switching trigger effect pattern by the overall control CPU 65a, a one-shot effect or a continuous attack effect is displayed on the symbol display device 17 as a switching trigger effect, or an intersection effect is displayed. By being displayed, it is possible to prevent the switching trigger effect displayed in the first symbol derivation effect from becoming uniform, and the effects can be diversified. In addition, the cross effect as the switching opportunity effect is set so that it can be displayed only when the single display body before change is displayed on the symbol display device 17 (when the single display pattern is determined). When a crossing effect is performed as an opportunity effect, the degree of expectation that a win display is displayed as a result of the symbol derivation effect is higher than when another type of switching opportunity effect is performed. That is, since the expectation level that the winning display is displayed as a result of the first symbol derivation effect differs depending on the type of the switching trigger effect displayed on the symbol display device 17 in the symbol derivation effect, it is displayed in the first symbol derivation effect. It is possible to increase the interest in the type of switching opportunity effect. In addition, when the same type of switching opportunity effect is displayed, the degree of expectation that the winning display is displayed in the first or second symbol derivation effect differs depending on the display mode (color). It is possible to increase interest in the display mode of the switching opportunity effect displayed in the first or second symbol derivation effect. In this way, by setting a plurality of types of switching trigger effects with different types and display modes, and by changing the expectation level that the winning display is displayed according to the determined switching trigger effects, before displaying the decoration drawing Raise the player's interests and make the game more interesting.

  A plurality of display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 are set as the combination symbol positions at which the decorative symbols can be displayed in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c, and a plurality of set display areas L1 to L12, C1 are set. One decorative drawing corresponding to each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is displayed on one of -C12, R1-R12. For this reason, the display position where a decoration figure is displayed in the 1st or 2nd symbol derivation production can be diversified. In addition, since different decoration stop patterns can be determined when the same switching trigger effect pattern is determined, different display areas L1 to L12 and C1 to C12 are displayed even when the same switching trigger effect pattern is displayed. , R1 to R12 can display decorative drawings, and the production can be prevented from being uniform.

  Further, the overall control CPU 65a determines the order suggestion effect (a blow effect and a continuous attack effect) as a switching opportunity effect, so that the combination symbol position (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to which the decorative drawing is stopped and displayed in the symbol derivation effect) The order of C12, R1 to R12) is determined, and a plurality of switching trigger effects (one-shot effects and consecutive effects) are set. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the order of the combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) at which the decoration is stopped is uniform in the symbol combination effect (design derivation effect). The combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) corresponding to the decorations of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c in a different order for each symbol combination effect (design derivation effect). ), And a combination of decorative drawings in a novel form can be derived. In addition, the order suggestion effect (a blow effect and a continuous attack effect) is a combination symbol position for displaying the decoration symbol on the combination symbol position (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) where the decoration symbol is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused about the display position and display order of the decorative drawings to be diversified, and to improve the production effect.

  In addition, in the order suggestion effect as the switching opportunity effect, a blow effect (first order suggestion effect) and a continuous attack effect (second order suggestion effect) are set, and the overall control CPU 65a performs a blow effect (blow pattern). Since it is configured so that the expectation level for displaying the hit display is different between the case where the decision is made and the case where the succession effect (sequential attack pattern) is decided, It is possible to increase interest in the production or the continuous action) and improve the interest of the game. Further, in the embodiment, the general control CPU 65a sets a plurality of types of order suggestion effects such as a decision section to the order suggestion effects of the same system, and hits according to the determined type of order suggestion effects (one-shot pattern or consecutive hit pattern). The expectation that the display is displayed is set differently. Specifically, the first to sixth blow patterns are set as switching opportunity production patterns that specify the order suggestion production of the blow production, and for each blow production specified by each of the first to sixth blow patterns. The degree of expectation that the hit display is displayed is different. Similarly, the first to third consecutive attack patterns are set as the switching opportunity presentation patterns that specify the order suggestion effects of the consecutive strike effects, and the consecutive strike effects specified by each of the first to third consecutive strike patterns. The expectation level that the hit display is displayed is different for each. In this way, by setting a plurality of types of order suggestion effects and making the degree of expectation that the winning display is displayed differ depending on the determined order suggestion effects, the display position and display order in which the decorative symbols are displayed The player's interest in the game can be increased and the game can be interesting.

  In addition, the order suggestion effects (blow effect and consecutive attack effects) are a plurality of display areas L1 to L12 and C1 to C12 included in the combination symbol positions that can display the decorations corresponding to one symbol row 26a, 26b, and 26c. , R1 to R12 are set so as to be displayed, and a plurality of display areas L1 to L12 and C1 are displayed in which the decorative drawings to be combined are stopped and displayed by the sequence suggestion effect in the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c. ~ C12, R1 ~ R12 is suggested, and the decorative drawing is configured to stop display on any of the display areas included in the display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12 suggested by the order suggestion effect. It is. In this way, by displaying the order suggestion effect across the plurality of display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, and R1 to R12 included in the combination symbol position corresponding to one symbol row 26a, 26b, and 26c. Since the decoration drawing displayed as a result of displaying the same order suggestion effect can be changed, the display position of the decoration drawing can be diversified.

  As the special figure fluctuation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a, a special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach (normal special figure fluctuation pattern) that specifies that the reach effect is not performed in the symbol combination effect is set, and the main control When the CPU 60a determines a special figure variation pattern for detachment without reach, the overall control CPU 65a is set to have a higher ratio for determining the second display mode than for the first display mode. In this way, when the special figure variation pattern for losing reach is determined, the symbol combination effect (symbol derivation effect) is more easily performed in the second display mode than in the first display mode. The interest in the display mode in which the performance is performed can be increased. In addition, since the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern for non-reach is set to be shorter than the fluctuation time specified by the other special figure fluctuation pattern, the second display mode is used. The symbol combination effect can be advanced at a faster tempo than the symbol combination effect performed in the first display mode.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special hit fluctuation pattern for big hit or losing (a special hit fluctuation pattern for big hits other than the direct hit or a special fluctuation pattern for reach loss) (special fluctuation pattern for special hit). When the figure designation command is input), the three decorative drawings corresponding to the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c are displayed in a temporary stop state in response to the display of the switching opportunity effect. The overall control CPU 65a is controlled so that one of the two decorative drawings (for example, the decorative drawing corresponding to the middle symbol row 26b) is changed again and the reach display is displayed on the symbol display device 17. Thus, after displaying the decorative drawing corresponding to each combination symbol position (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) in a temporarily stopped state instead of the pre-change display body, at least one temporary symbol is displayed. By configuring so that the variation of the stopped decorations can be resumed, each combination symbol position (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1) without the effect of changing the combination of the decorations on the symbol display device 17 ~ R12), it is possible to display a temporary stop decoration on the symbol display device 17, and it is possible to derive a combination of temporary stop decorations in an unprecedented form.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is configured to be able to execute a continuous notice effect (prefetching notice effect) as a notice effect, and whether or not the overall control CPU 65a executes the continuous notice effect (prefetching notice effect). Accordingly, the proportion of display modes in which the symbol combination effect (design derivation effect) is performed is different. That is, when it is determined that the continuous notice effect is to be executed, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first display mode, and when it is determined not to execute the continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a is the first display mode. The display mode is determined from the second display mode. As described above, when the continuous notice effect is performed, the symbol combination effect is performed in the first display mode, and when the continuous notice effect is not performed, any of the first display mode and the second display mode is performed. By performing the symbol combination effect, the interest in the display mode in which the symbol combination effect is performed can be increased. Furthermore, when a continuous notice effect is performed, a unit variation effect (symbol combination effect) is executed in the first display mode for the number of executions where an effect related to the continuous notice effect is performed, and the continuous notice effect is performed. If not, the symbol combination effect is performed in either the first display mode or the second display mode, so that interest in the continuous notice effect can be increased.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured to be able to execute a pseudo continuous notice effect as a notice effect, and the symbol combination effect (design derivation) according to whether or not the overall control CPU 65a executes the pseudo continuous notice effect. The ratio of the display mode in which the effect) is performed is different. That is, when it is determined to execute the pseudo continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first display mode, and when it is determined not to execute the pseudo continuous notice effect, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first display mode. The display mode is determined from the display mode and the second display mode. Thus, when the pseudo continuous notice effect is performed, the symbol combination effect is performed in the first display mode, and when the pseudo continuous notice effect is not performed, the first display mode and the second display mode are performed. When the symbol combination effect is performed in any of the above, interest in the display mode in which the symbol combination effect is performed can be increased. Further, when the pseudo continuous notice effect is performed, the continuous unit effects corresponding to the number of times of pseudo continuous in which the effect related to the pseudo continuous notice effect is performed are performed in the first display mode. The interest in the symbol derivation effect (design combination effect) can be further increased. Further, in the pseudo-continuous production, after displaying the decorations corresponding to the respective combination symbol positions (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1 to R12) in a temporarily stopped state instead of the pre-change display body, By configuring so that the variation of the stopped decorations can be resumed, each combination symbol position (display areas L1 to L12, C1 to C12, R1) without the effect of changing the combination of the decorations on the symbol display device 17 ~ R12), it is possible to display a temporary stop decoration on the symbol display device 17, and it is possible to derive a combination of temporary stop decorations in a pseudo-continuous production in an unprecedented novel form.

(Example of change)
Note that the configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to that shown in the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made.

(1) In the embodiment, after the big hit game, the first display state (the first display mode) and the second display state (the second display mode) are configured to shift to the specific effect mode. However, you may make it transfer to specific production mode at other timings. For example, each time a symbol combination effect is performed, either the first display state or the second display state may be determined. Moreover, you may make it set three or more display states from which a display form differs. Further, only the first display state may be provided.
(2) In the embodiment, the display element before change that does not notify the determination result of the hit determination means is displayed on the effect display means before the decorative design is stopped and displayed, and then the switching opportunity effect is displayed. As a trigger, the first symbol derivation effect set to display at least one decorative symbol of the determined decorative symbols in place of the display body before the change is displayed in the first display state. In the second display state, a similar symbol derivation effect may be performed. In this case, the two display states can be distinguished by changing the display body before change and the switching trigger effect that can be displayed in the first display state and the second display state.
(3) In the embodiment, the display body before change and the switching opportunity effect displayed in the symbol derivation effect are individually determined. However, a plurality of display patterns that combine the display body before change and the switching opportunity effect are set. Thus, even if any display pattern is determined, the combination of the pre-change display body and the switching opportunity effect can be specified.
(4) In the embodiment, when the normal variation pattern (special pattern variation pattern for non-reach) is determined, the ratio of determining the second display state is higher than that of the first display state. In some cases, the ratio of determining the first display state may be higher than that of the second display state. Further, when the normal variation pattern (the special map variation pattern for non-reach) is determined, one of the first display state and the second display state may be determined. For example, when a normal variation pattern (special pattern variation pattern for non-reach) is determined and only the second display state is determined, the symbol combination effect is performed in the first display state. It is possible to determine whether the reach effect is performed or the reach display is displayed without the reach effect, and the difference between the effects performed in the first display state and the second display state can be emphasized. .
(5) In the embodiment, the effect execution display area for variably displaying the effect execution symbol indicating that the symbol combination effect is performed is provided in the effect display means, but the effect execution display region is not provided. You can also.
(6) In the embodiment, the sequence suggestion effect as the switching opportunity effect is displayed across the plurality of display areas included in the combination symbol position of one symbol row, but the combination symbol of each symbol row is displayed. The order suggestion effect may be displayed in each display area included in the position. In this case, it is possible to clearly suggest the display area of each symbol row in which the decorative symbols are displayed by the order suggestion effect.
(7) In the embodiment, the first order suggestion is displayed in a continuous form in the order of the combination symbol positions where the ornament symbols are displayed while straddling a plurality of combination symbol positions where the ornament symbols to be combined are displayed. Displayed in a discontinuous form in the order of the combination symbol positions that are displayed individually for the combination symbol positions that are displayed individually for the combination symbol position where the decoration symbol to be combined and the decoration symbol to be combined are displayed When the second order suggestion effect (sequential attack effect) is determined, the expectation level that the hit display is displayed is different. However, when the first order suggestion effect is determined, The degree of expectation that the winning display is displayed may be substantially the same as when the order suggestion effect is determined.
(8) In the embodiment, the first display state is determined when it is decided to execute the prefetching notice effect, and the first display state and the second display are decided when it is decided not to execute the prefetching notice effect. Although the display state can be determined from the state, the second display state may be determined when it is determined to execute the pre-reading notice effect, and the first display state and the second display may be determined. The display state may be determined from the state.
(9) In the embodiment, when a specific special figure fluctuation pattern (a special figure fluctuation pattern for direct hitting or a special figure fluctuation pattern for pseudo-continuous notice) is decided, the first display state is decided, and the specific special fluctuation pattern is decided. Although the display state can be determined from the first display state and the second display state when a special figure fluctuation pattern other than the figure fluctuation pattern is determined, the first special state fluctuation pattern is determined when the specific special figure fluctuation pattern is determined. Two display states may be determined, and the display state may be determined from the first display state and the second display state. The specific special figure fluctuation pattern is not limited to the special figure fluctuation pattern for direct hit or the special figure fluctuation pattern for pseudo continuous notice.
(10) In the embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a is configured to function as continuous notice effect execution determining means for determining execution of the continuous notice effect, but the main control CPU 60a may function as continuous notice effect determining means. .
(11) In the embodiment, all or part of the functions provided in the main control means (main control CPU) may be provided in the sub-control means (overall control CPU). A part may be provided in the main control means.
