  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Here, a pachinko gaming machine as a suitable example of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described.

<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the first embodiment is a game in which a game ball is fired (bulleted) into an internal game area 1 a, and a glass in the upper half of the front half thereof. A game board 1 constituting a game area 1a is installed on the back side of the board.

  The game board 1 includes a flat game board body 1b (made of wood or synthetic resin) serving as a mounting base for various members, and has a game area 1a surrounded by guide rails 2 on the front surface of the game board body 1b. ing. Further, front structural members 3, 3,... Are attached to the front surface of the game board main body 1b and outside the guide rail 2. Then, a game ball (hit ball; game medium) is launched from a launching device into a game area 1a surrounded by the guide rail 2 to play a game.

  At the approximate center of the game area 1a, a center case 20 is attached that forms a window 22 serving as a display area for the decorative special figure variation display game. Behind the window 22 formed in the center case 20 is arranged a display device 43 as a variable display device capable of executing a variable display game that displays a plurality of identification information in a variable manner. The display device 43 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, and is arranged so that a display portion 43 a whose display contents can be changed is visible from the front side of the game board 1 through the window portion 22 of the center case 20. . Note that the display device 43 is not limited to a device including a liquid crystal display, and may include a display such as an EL or a CRT.

  In addition, a normal start gate 4 is provided in the game area 1a, and when the game ball passes the general start gate 4, a normal variation display game is executed. Further, in the game area 1a, there are provided a first start winning opening 13 forming a first start winning area and a normal variable winning apparatus 7 forming a second start winning area. When the game ball wins the first start winning opening 13, the first special figure variation display game is executed as an auxiliary game, and when the game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, the second game is played as an auxiliary game. A special figure variation display game is executed.

  A gate SW4a (shown in FIG. 3) for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general start gate 4 is provided in the general start gate 4. Then, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal diagram start gate 4, a normal variation display game is performed. In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate 4, if the number is less than the upper limit of the general figure start memory number, the normal figure start memory number is incremented by one and the normal figure start is started. One memory is stored. The start memory of the normal map display game is displayed on the general memory display 15 (the first general memory display 15a and the second general memory display 15b) having LEDs. .

  The general-purpose (ordinary symbol) variation display game is executed by the general-purpose display 5 constituting a state display 17 described later. In addition, you may make it display a common figure change display game in a part of display area of the display apparatus 43. In this case, for example, a number, a symbol, a character design etc. are used as an identification symbol, and this is changed for a predetermined time. After being displayed, it is performed by stopping display. If the stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode, the opening and closing members 7a and 7a of the normal change winning device 7 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). The Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it is easy to start the second special figure variation display game.

  A first special figure start opening SW13d (shown in FIG. 3) is provided inside the first start winning opening 13, and based on the detection of the game ball by the first special figure start opening SW13d, the first special figure start opening SW13d is provided. A start right to start a special figure variation display game is generated. Further, a second special figure starting port SW7d (shown in FIG. 3) is provided in the inside of the normal variation winning device 7, and based on the detection of the game ball by the second special figure starting port SW7d, as an auxiliary game The right to start the second special figure variable display game is generated. The right to start the first special figure variation display game is stored as the first start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The first start memory is displayed on the first special figure memory display 18. The start right to start the second special figure variation display game is stored as the second start memory within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). The second start memory is displayed on the second special figure memory display 19.

  The normal variation winning device 7 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, 7a, and is disposed below the first start winning opening 13, and the opening / closing members 7a, 7a are normally spaced at an interval of about the diameter of a game ball. In the closed state, i.e., the game ball is difficult to win (a disadvantageous state for the player), but the result of the usual variable display game is in a predetermined stop display mode. The solenoid (general power SOL 7b, shown in FIG. 3) is changed to an easy-to-win state (a state advantageous to the player) where the game ball can easily flow into the normal variation winning device 7 by opening in a reverse “C” shape. It is supposed to be.

  The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game as the auxiliary game are executed by the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 constituting the state display 17 described later. After a plurality of identification information is variably displayed, a predetermined result mode is stopped and displayed. In addition, a decorative special figure fluctuation display game in which a plurality of types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) are variably displayed on the display device 43 corresponding to each special figure fluctuation display game is executed. ing. If the display form of the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 becomes a special result form (for example, “7”) as a result of the special figure variation display game, a big hit is obtained. Special gaming state (so-called big hit state). Correspondingly, the display mode of the display device 43 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”). The first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 may be separate displays or the same display, but a special figure change display game is displayed independently. In addition, the display device 43 may use different display devices and different display areas in the first special map fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game, or use the same display device and display area. However, the decoration special figure variation display game is displayed independently. In addition, the game machine may not be provided with the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9, and the special figure variation display game may be executed only by the display device 43.

  Then, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the first start prize opening When the game ball wins in 13, the first start memory is stored with the generation of the start right, the first start memory number is incremented by 1, and the first special figure is immediately based on the first start memory. The variable display game is started, and at this time, the first start memory number is decremented by one. Further, in a state where the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game can be started and the first start memory number and the second start memory number are 0, for example, the normal fluctuation winning device 7 When the game ball wins, the second start memory is stored as the start right is generated, the second start memory number is incremented by 1, and the second special figure change is immediately made based on the second start memory. The display game is started, and at this time, the second start memory number is decremented by one.

  On the other hand, a state in which the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game cannot be started immediately, for example, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game has already been performed, and the special figure fluctuation display. If a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 13 when the game is not finished or in a special game state, if the first start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four) The first start memory number is incremented by 1, and one first start memory is stored. Similarly, in this case, when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, if the second start memory number is less than the upper limit number (for example, less than four), the second start memory number is incremented by 1 and the second start is started. One memory is stored.

  When the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is ready to start, the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display is based on the first start memory or the second start memory. The game starts. At this time, the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not executed simultaneously, and the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed with priority over the first special figure fluctuation display game. It is like that. That is, when there is a first start memory and a second start memory, and when the special figure fluctuation display game can be executed, the second special figure fluctuation display game is executed.

  In addition, the game area 1a has an attacker-type opening / closing door 10a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side. The first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display Depending on the result of the game, the special variable winning device 10 for converting from the closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) to the open state (a state advantageous to the player) depending on the result of the game, the gaming ball that did not win the winning port An out-hole 11 is provided for collecting the. In addition, the game area 1a is provided with general winning holes 12, 12,..., A windmill 14 as a batting direction changing member, a number of obstacle nails (not shown), and the like.

If the map display 5 is lit, the result of the map change display game is a win, and if the map display 5 is off, the map change display game This indicates that the result is out of place.

  The normal map memory display 15 (the first general map memory display 15a, the second general map memory display 15b) is an LED for displaying the number of unprocessed times of the normal map variable display game, and is shown in FIG. As described above, when the first common map memory display 15a and the second general map memory display 15b are both turned off, it indicates that the number of unprocessed times of the normal map variable display game is “0”. When the figure memory display 15a is turned on and the second map memory display 15b is turned off, it indicates that the number of unprocessed times in the map fluctuation display game is “1”, and the first map memory display 15a is displayed. When the second map memory display 15b is lit, it indicates that the unprocessed number of times of the normal map display game is “2”, the first map memory display 15a blinks and the second map memory display 15b flashes. When the figure memory display 15b is lit, the number of unprocessed times of the normal map display game is “3”. When both the first map memory display 15a and the second map memory display 15b are blinking, it indicates that the number of unprocessed times of the map variation display game is “4”. .

  The round number display 25 is an LED that displays whether the game result in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is determined as 2R big hit or 16R big hit, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, when the first round number display 25a is turned on and the second round number display 25b is turned off, the game result of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is 2R big hit When the first round number display 25a is turned off and the second round number display 25b is turned on, the game result of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is 16R. It is a big hit.

The gaming state indicator 26 is an LED for notifying the gaming state of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game, and as shown in FIG. 2 (5), the second gaming state indicator 26b and When both of the third game state indicators 26c are turned off, the normal operation state (normal control state) in which the fluctuation control (fluctuation time) of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is preset. When the second gaming status indicator 26b is lit and the third gaming status indicator 26c is extinguished, it indicates that the operation time is shortened (shortened control status), and the second gaming status indicator When both 26b and the third gaming state indicator 26c are lit, the probability of winning a big hit in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is set higher than the normal probability state where the predetermined probability is High probability Indicates that the (probability change state).
Also, as shown in FIG. 2 (6), when the first game state indicator 26a is lit, it is a big hit in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game (the condition device is operating). When the first game state indicator 26a is turned off, it indicates that the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game are not in a big hit state (condition device not activated). ing.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (7), when both the second gaming state indicator 26b and the third gaming state indicator 26c are turned off, an error non-notification state is indicated, and the second gaming state indicator 26b is When the light is turned off and the third gaming state indicator 26c is lit, it indicates that an error notification is in progress. Specifically, when the gaming machine is turned on, it is determined to be in an error state when the probability of a big win in the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is in a high probability state. The third gaming state indicator 26c is turned on. The state in which the third game state indicator 26c is lit is continuously lit until the high probability state stops.

  In addition, the center case 20 is provided with a decoration unit 24 surrounding the display unit 43a so as to decorate the effect of the variable display game. More specifically, the decoration unit 24 includes an effect operating agent 50 that performs a predetermined effect operation based on a variable display game, and an auxiliary effect agent 51 that performs an auxiliary effect in the predetermined effect operation.

  The effect operation accessory 50 is provided in the upper center of the center case 20, and the effect operation accessory 50 covers the front surface of the display unit 43a by the driving force of the accessory drive motor 42 (shown in FIG. 3). It is designed to move downward.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 100 (game control device 30) of the present embodiment can generate a short-time operation state (specific game state, specific variation display game) as a game state based on the result form of the special figure variation display game. ing. At this time, the short operation state (specific game state, specific variation display game) is a state in which the operation state of the normal variation winning device 7 is more likely to be an open state than the normal operation state. At this time, in the short operation state, the execution time of the above-mentioned general-purpose variable display game is controlled to be shorter than the long execution time in the normal operation state (for example, 10 seconds is 1 second). Control is performed so that the number of times the normally variable winning device 7 is opened is substantially increased. That is, the normal variation winning device 7 functions as a winning facilitating means capable of converting from a closed state in which a game ball is unacceptable to an open state in which a game ball is easily acceptable. Further, in the short-time operation state, when the normal variation winning game 7 is released as a result of winning the normal-variation display game, the release time is controlled to be longer than the short open time of the normal operation state. (For example, 0.3 seconds is 1.8 seconds). Also, in the short-time operation state, the normal variation winning device 7 is opened not more than once but multiple times (for example, two times) instead of once for the result of one hit of the normal variation display game. Further, in the short-time operation state, the probability that the hit result of the normal-variable display game is higher than that in the normal operation state is controlled. That is, the number of times of opening of the normal variation winning device 7 is increased as compared with the normal operation state, and it becomes easier for a game ball to win the normal variation winning device 7 and the start of the second special figure variable display game is facilitated.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment can generate a probability variation state (a specific game state, a specific variation display game) as a game state based on the result form of the special figure variation display game. In this probability variation (probability variation) state (specific game state, specific variation display game), the probability of a hit result in the special figure variation display game is higher than the normal probability state. It should be noted that the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation, regardless of whether the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game results in the special figure fluctuation display game. Both display games are in a probable state. In addition, the probability variation state and the short-time operation state can be generated independently, and both can be generated at the same time, or only one can be generated.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko gaming machine 100 includes a game control device 30 as control means for controlling a special figure variation display game performed on the display device 43, and an effect control command from the game control device 30. And an effect control device 40 as a control means for controlling the effect of the special figure variation display game on the display device 43.

The game control device 30 includes a game one-chip microcomputer 31 including a CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, a RAM (RWM (Read Write Memory)) 31c, and the like, an input interface (input I / F) 32, and an output interface (output I / F). ) 33, an external communication terminal 34, and the like.

  In the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31, the internal CPU 31a includes a control unit and a calculation unit, and performs calculation control, and also generates various random numbers such as a jackpot determination random number for each special figure variable display game.

  In addition, when starting each special figure fluctuation display game (decoration special figure fluctuation display game) based on the start winning, the CPU 31a includes the fluctuation pattern of the special figure fluctuation display game, that is, the fluctuation display time of the identification information. Determine the fluctuation pattern and reach pattern (type of reach action).

  In the RAM 31 c inside the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31, an ON signal of a first special figure starting port SW 13 d provided in the first starting winning prize port 13 and a second special figure starting port SW 7 d provided in the normal variation winning prize device 7 is provided. And the like, a storage area for the various random numbers, a work area for the CPU 31a, and the like. That is, the winning of the game ball detected by the CPU 31a is stored in the RAM 31c as the start winning.

A game control program and control data are written in the ROM 31b of the game one-chip microcomputer 31, and the occurrence of a big hit in each special figure variation display game is determined in accordance with the various random numbers described above. For this purpose, a jackpot determination value, a variation pattern (first half variation pattern, second half variation pattern), a reach pattern (reach action type) determination value, etc. are stored. Specifically, for example, in the ROM 31b, the latter half fluctuation pattern table corresponding to the game result ("big hit" or "out of game") of the special figure fluctuation display game, and the game result ("big hit" or The first half variation pattern table corresponding to the “loss”) is stored, and one second half variation pattern of the second half variation pattern table and one first variation pattern of the first half variation pattern table A variable time command table related to a variable time command (a continuous notice command, a continuous notice change command, a continuous notice switch command, a continuous notice end command, etc.) configured by a combination is stored.
Of the variation patterns, the first half variation pattern is, for example, the left symbol region and the right symbol in one special symbol variation display game performed in each of the variation symbol display region of the left symbol region, the right symbol region, and the middle symbol region. This means the variation display mode until the symbols in the variation display area stop at the same symbol.The latter half variation pattern is the variation display mode after the symbols in the left symbol region and the right symbol region stop at the same symbol. That means. That is, the fluctuation display area of the left symbol area and the right symbol area stops at the same symbol, and the fluctuation display mode until the state where the middle symbol area is still fluctuating (reach state) is assumed to be the first half fluctuation pattern, the reach state The variation display mode after the occurrence of the occurrence is the second half variation pattern. Of the fluctuation patterns, the fluctuation display mode of the first half fluctuation pattern and the second half fluctuation pattern is, for example, the first half fluctuation pattern until a reach state occurs and the middle symbol area that is fluctuating temporarily stops or low speed fluctuation starts.

The input interface 32 relays various signals input from these and outputs them to the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31. The glass frame opening SW 146 is for detecting that the clear member holding frame is opened, and the gaming machine frame opening SW 121 is for detecting that the front frame is opened. The ball break SW 122 is provided on a chute that guides the game ball supplied from the island facility to the discharge device, and detects that there is no game ball in the chute.

  In addition, various control signals output from the gaming one-chip microcomputer 31 are input to the output interface 33. These control signals are relayed by the output interface 33, and through the output port and driver (not shown), the first special figure display 8, the first special figure storage display 18, the second special figure display 9, 2 special figure memory display 19, universal map display 5, universal figure storage display 15, general electric power SOL7b, big prize opening SOL10b, external terminal board 16 connected to a management device outside the gaming machine, payout control device 125, It is output to the production control device 40.

  The effect control device 40 includes an arithmetic processing CPU 40a, a ROM 40b, a RAM 40c, a VDP (Video Display Processor) 40d, and the like, a communication interface (communication I / F) 40e, and an input / output interface (input / output I / F) 40f. ing. Further, an image ROM 40g storing image and video data, a sound ROM 40h storing sound data, and a sound LSI 40i for controlling sound output are provided.

  This effect control device 40 is based on various signals (effect control data (such as various commands)) received from the game control device 30 via the communication interface 40e (under the control of the game control device 30). Control is performed. The input / output interface 40f receives a detection signal from an effect button 41 (shown in FIG. 3) provided on the front surface of the gaming machine, and the effect control device 40 receives the detection signal. Based on the control (under the control of the game control device 30), the control of the game effect is performed.

  Furthermore, various control signals output from the CPU 40a are input to the input / output interface 40f, and these control signals are relayed by the input / output interface 40f, and the output of the movable effect device via an output port and a driver (not shown). It is output to various LED boards 44 provided with decoration LED provided in the accessory drive motor 42, the game board 1, and the clear member holding frame covering the front of the game board 1, and the production of the game is performed. ing.

Further, a control signal related to the control of sound is output from the CPU 40a to the sound LSI 40i, and sound data based on the control signal is output from the sound LSI 40i to the speaker 45.

  In addition, power is supplied to the game control device 30 from a power supply device (not shown), and power is also supplied to the other devices from the power supply device. In addition, the power supply device is equipped with a backup power supply to enable power supply even when the external power supply is interrupted, such as during a power failure, and is stored in the volatile memory of each control device during a power failure. The loss of recorded data is prevented.

In these control devices, the following game control is performed.
The game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 extracts a random number value for hit determination of the usual figure based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the gate SW4a provided in the usual figure start gate 4, and stores it in the ROM 31b. Compared with the stored determination value, a process of determining whether or not the normal-game fluctuation display game is missed is performed. Then, after the identification symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the general symbol display 5, a process for displaying a general symbol variation display game to be stopped is performed. If the result of this normal map change display game is a win, a special result mode is displayed on the general map display 5 and the general electric power SOL 7b is operated to open and close the opening / closing members 7a, 7a of the normal variable winning device 7 for a predetermined time. The opening control is performed as described above (for example, for 0.5 seconds). In addition, when the result of the normal map change display game is out of order, control is performed to display the result form of the shift on the general map display 5.

  Further, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the first special figure start opening SW13d provided in the first start winning opening 13, the random number value for determining the big hit of the first special figure variation display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the first start memory is performed. Similarly, based on the input of the detection signal of the game ball from the second special figure starting port SW7d provided in the normal fluctuation winning device 7, a random number for determining the big hit of the second special figure variable display game is extracted to the RAM 31c. Processing to be stored as the second start memory is performed. That is, in order to determine whether or not the game control device 30 derives a special result mode with a predetermined number as an upper limit in the order of winning game balls to the start winning area (the first start winning port 13, the normal variation winning device 7). The jackpot random number storage means for storing the jackpot random number.

  In addition, when storing by the first start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the first start memory is compared with the determination value (win value) for the first special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b, A process of determining a missed hit of the first special figure variation display game is performed. Similarly, when storing by the second start memory, the big hit determination random number value stored in the second start memory is compared with the determination value (win value) for the second special figure variation display game stored in the ROM 31b. Then, a process of determining a miss of the second special figure variation display game is performed.

  Further, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, based on the start-up memory, the identification symbols are displayed on the first special figure display 8 or the second special figure display 9 in a varying manner and then stopped. Processing to display a special figure variation display game is performed.

  In addition, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the first start memory and the second start memory are stored, the execution control of the second special figure variable display game is executed. It is designed to execute in preference to execution control.

  Then, in the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30, when the result of the special figure variation display game is a big hit, the special figure mode is displayed on the special figure display and a process for generating a special game state is performed. . In the process of generating the special game state, for example, the opening / closing door 10a of the special variable winning device 10 is opened by the special winning opening SOL10b, and control is performed so that the gaming ball can flow into the special winning opening. Then, a condition that either a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the grand prize opening or a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds or 1 second) elapses from the opening of the big prize opening is achieved. Opening the grand prize opening until one round is defined as one round, and control (cycle game) is continued (repeated) for a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 or 2 times). Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 100 functions as a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a predetermined gaming value to the player based on the result mode of the special figure variation display game. When the result of the special figure variation display game is out of order, the first special figure display 8 and the second special figure display 9 are controlled to display the result form of the deviation.

  Further, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 executes a specific variation display game different from the special figure variation display game based on the establishment of the specific condition. Specifically, processing is performed to generate a specific gaming state (time-short operation state, probability variation state) in which the frequency with which the normal variation winning device 7 converts to the open state is higher than the normal state.

  It should be noted that the value of the second special figure variation display game is given to the player in the special game state or after the special game state ends, rather than the first special figure variation display game. The value given to this player is high because, for example, the distribution rate of the number of rounds in the special gaming state is advantageous for the player (the first special figure variable display game has an occurrence rate of 16R probability variation big hit: 40%, The 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate is 20%, and the 16R normal jackpot occurrence rate is 40%, whereas the second special figure fluctuation display game is the 16R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 55%, the 2R probability variation jackpot occurrence rate: 5%, 16R normal big hit occurrence rate: 40%). In addition to the fact that the number of rounds in the special gaming state is large (the number of prize balls that can be obtained by the player is large), the second special figure variation display game is more The probability of becoming higher may be increased. Further, the value in production may include a tendency to reach a reach state, a reach production that does not usually appear easily (a so-called super reach or a premier reach), and the like.

  In addition, the game one-chip microcomputer 31 of the game control device 30 is input from sensors (first special figure starting port SW13d, second special figure starting port SW7d, winning port SW12a, count SW10c) provided at various winning ports. Based on the detected game ball detection signal, the payout motor of the payout control device 125 is controlled so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

  In addition to the start timing of the special figure variation display game, the game control device 30 determines the jackpot determination random number value stored in the first start memory or the second start memory, and the hit value (determination) stored in the ROM 31b. Value) and a process for determining whether or not a special result mode is derived in the special figure fluctuation display game based on the start memory for the start memory that has not yet executed the special figure fluctuation display game. It has become.

In addition, in the effect control device 40, based on a command signal from the game control device 30 (change time command, change stop command, etc.), the display device 43 displays a decoration special figure change display game corresponding to the special figure change display game. Controls processing and effects.
Specifically, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, when a jackpot random number that results in a jackpot of the game result is stored in the first start memory whose digestion order is fourth by pre-determination (prefetching). When the first special figure variation display game that actually digests one start memory and generates a big hit is started, the variation based on the random number for determining the variation pattern of the first start memory stored after the first start memory Using the pattern, a pseudo continuous notice effect is performed in the first special figure variation display game (see FIG. 25). Hereinafter, processing for performing such a pseudo-continuous notice effect will be described.

  First, game control in the game control device 30 will be described. The game control mainly includes a main process and a timer interrupt process performed every predetermined time (for example, every 2 msec).

[Main processing]
In the main process, the entire program is controlled. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the main process includes a process at the start of the program, a process for returning to the state at the time of the power failure, a process of the main loop, and a process at the time of the power failure.

  In the main processing, first, processing at the start of the program is performed. The process at the start of the program is initially performed as an initial setting, in which an interrupt is prohibited (step S1) and an interrupt vector is set (step S2). Further, processing for setting the stack pointer (step S3) is performed, and processing for setting the interrupt mode (step S4) is performed. Thereafter, processing for permitting access to the RAM (RWM) 31c (step S5) is performed, and processing for turning off all output ports (step S6) is performed.

  Next, the backup clear switch is checked. The RAM 31c of the game control device 30 is backed up by the backup power source of the power supply device. If the backup clear switch is ON when the power is turned on, the RAM 31c is initialized. . As a check of the backup clear switch, it is determined whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7).

  If the backup clear switch is not ON (step S7; No) in the determination of whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7), the power failure recovery determination is performed. As a determination of the power failure recovery, first, a process of checking the power failure inspection area (step S8) is performed, and it is determined whether or not the power failure is recovered (step S9).

  In the power outage inspection area, as will be described later, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 100 is cut off due to a power outage, power outage recovery inspection area check data is set (step S26). Inspection area check data is not stored. Therefore, by determining the presence or absence of this power failure recovery inspection area check data, it is possible to determine whether or not it is power failure recovery.

  In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is not restored (step S9; No), the RAM 31c to be used is cleared (step S18). In the determination of whether or not the power is restored (step S9), if the power is restored (step S9; Yes), it is determined whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10).

  In determining whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), the backed up data in the RAM 31c and the check data are compared, and if both match, it is determined normal, and if they do not match, it is determined abnormal. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether the information stored in the RAM 31c is correctly backed up.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is not normal (step S10; No), a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed. Note that the case where the data in the RAM 31c and the check data do not match in this way includes, for example, the case where the data is destroyed due to an abnormal current or the like of a lightning strike, the case where the pachinko gaming machine 100 is first installed, Is considered to have exceeded the time available for backup. Further, it is conceivable that the RAM 31c is initialized because the connection between the power supply device and the game control device 30 is cut off for some reason and the backup power is not supplied. Furthermore, since the illegal game control device 30 is often not backed up in the RAM 31c, it is conceivable that the illegal game control device 30 is attached.

  In the determination of whether or not the checksum is normal (step S10), if the checksum is normal (step S10; Yes), processing for returning to the state at the time of the power failure is performed.

  As processing for returning to the state at the time of the occurrence of a power failure, first, processing for setting an initial value at the time of power failure recovery (step S11) is performed in the RAM 31c. Furthermore, after performing the process (step S12) which clears the area | region concerning the state of a game frame, the process (step S13) which transmits a power failure recovery command is performed. Then, a process for starting the interrupt timer (step S17) is performed.

  If the backup clear switch is ON (step S7; Yes) in the determination of whether or not the backup clear switch is ON (step S7), initialization processing at power-on is performed as main loop processing.

  As an initialization process at the time of power-on, first, a process of clearing the RAM 31c to be used (step S14) is performed, and a process of saving an initial value at the time of power-on to the RAM 31c (step S15). Further, a process for transmitting a power-on command (step S16) is performed. Then, a process for starting the interrupt timer (step S17) is performed.

  Next, loop processing is performed as main loop processing. In this loop process, first, a process for starting an interrupt timer (step S17) is performed to start a CTC (counter timer circuit). Next, a process for prohibiting interruption (step S18) is performed, a process for updating the initial random number by the initial value random number update process (step S19), and a process for permitting interruption (step S20) are performed.

  And the process (step S21) which checks the power failure inspection area | region of RAM31c is performed, and it is determined whether the power failure generate | occur | produced (step S22). In the power failure inspection area, check data is set when the power of the gaming machine is shut off due to a power failure as described later (step S26), and no check data is stored in the normal time. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not a power failure has occurred by determining the presence or absence of the check data.

  In the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22), if a power failure has not occurred (step S22; No), the process returns to the process for prohibiting the above-described interruption (step S18). If not, the process for prohibiting interruption (step S18) repeatedly determines whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22).

  When a power failure occurs in the determination of whether or not a power failure has occurred (step S22) (step S22; Yes), processing is performed when the power failure occurs. Immediately after the occurrence of a power failure, the backup power supply supplies power capable of executing the following processing when the power failure occurs.

  In the process at the time of the occurrence of a power failure, first, a process for prohibiting interruption (step S23) is performed. Then, processing for turning off all output ports (step S24) is performed, and processing for clearing the power failure inspection area (step S25) is performed. Further, after performing the process of saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area (step S26), the process of calculating the checksum when the power of the RAM 31c is turned off (step S27) is performed to access the RAM 31c. A prohibition process (step S28) is performed to wait for power-off of the gaming machine. Thus, by saving the power failure recovery inspection area check data in the power failure recovery inspection area and calculating the checksum at the time of power interruption, the information stored in the RAM 31c before the power interruption is correctly backed up. Can be determined at power-on.

[Timer interrupt processing]
Next, timer interrupt processing will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, in the timer interrupt process, first, a process of saving the register data (step a) is performed. Next, various sensors (first special figure starting port SW13d, second special figure starting port SW7d, gate SW4a, winning port SW12a, 12a,..., Count SW10c, glass frame opening SW146, gaming machine frame opening SW121, out of ball SW122 , Etc.) is processed to perform input processing (step b). Then, based on the output data set in various processes, an output process (step c) for performing drive control of an actuator such as a solenoid (large winning opening SOL10b, ordinary power SOL7b) is performed.

  Next, command transmission processing (step d) for outputting commands set in the transmission buffer in various processing to various control devices is performed. And a big hit random number for judging the hit-off symbol of the special figure fluctuation display game, a big hit symbol random number for judging the big hit symbol of the special figure fluctuation display game, a hit random number for judging the hit deviation of the normal figure fluctuation display game Random number update process 1 (step e) is performed.

  Next, a winning opening switch monitoring process for monitoring whether or not a signal is input from the gate SW4a, winning openings SW12a, 12a,... (Whether or not a signal indicating detection of a game ball is input), and An error monitoring process (step f) for monitoring signals and errors, a special figure game process (step g) for performing a process related to the special figure fluctuation display game, and a normal figure game process (step f) for performing a process related to the general figure fluctuation display game h).

  Next, a segment LED editing process (step i) is performed, which is provided in the game board 1 and performs a process related to the status indicator 17 for displaying various information related to the game. Then, an external information editing process (step j) is performed in which a signal to be output to the external management apparatus is set in the output buffer. Next, processing for declaring the end of interrupt (step k) is performed, processing for restoring the saved register data (step l) is performed, processing for enabling interrupt (step m) is performed, and timer interrupt processing is performed. finish.

In the determination of whether or not there is an effect pattern in this effect storage area (step S115), if there is no effect pattern in the effect storage area (step S115; No), a default effect is made corresponding to the number of STEPs in the pseudo-continuous notice. The selection process (step S116) is performed, and the process proceeds to step S121. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not there is an effect pattern in the effect storage area (step S115), if there is an effect pattern in the effect storage area (step S115; Yes), the effect pattern stored in the effect storage area is selected. The acquisition process (step S117) is performed.

  Subsequently, the process (step S118) which acquires a first-half fluctuation pattern from the production pattern acquired in step S117 is performed.

  Next, a process (step S119) for setting the first half variation pattern acquired in step S118 to the effect of 1 STEP of pseudo-continuous notice is performed, and whether or not the effect setting has been completed for all STEPs calculated in step S114. Determination (step S120) is performed.

  In the determination as to whether or not the production setting has been completed for all the STEPs calculated in step S114 (step S120), the production setting has not been completed for all the STEPs calculated in step S114 (step S120). ; No) returns to step S115. On the other hand, in the determination of whether or not the effect setting has been completed for all the STEPs calculated in step S114 (step S120), when the effect setting has been completed for all STEPs calculated in step S114 (step S120). S120; Yes) performs a process (step S121) for clearing the advance determination monitoring flag, performs a process (step S122) for clearing the effect storage area, and ends the pseudo-continuous effect determination process.

  Thereby, the effect mode determining means (the effect control device 40) stops after a plurality of pieces of identification information are changed and displayed for a predetermined time in one change display game based on one big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage means. The pseudo-continuous notice effect that performs unit variation display at least once can be determined as the effect mode of the variable display game based on the jackpot random number that is the target of determining the effect mode, and the effect determination execution means (effect control device 40) The variation pattern based on the variation pattern determination random number corresponding to the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage means after the big hit random number for which the production mode is to be determined is used as the big hit random number for which the production mode is to be determined. It will be set as a part of the production mode of the variation display game based. More specifically, the effect determination execution means simulates a variation pattern based on the variation pattern determination random number corresponding to the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage means after the big hit random number to be determined for the production mode. The unit variation display in the continuous notice effect is set.

  Next, a specific example of the effect pattern creation process in FIG. 23 or the pseudo-continuous effect determination process in FIG. 24 will be described. In this example, the big hit random number based on the first start memory generated at the timing t3 is a value that is a probabilistic big hit, and the big hit random number based on the first start memory generated at the timing t4, t5, t6 is a value that is off. Suppose that In addition, it is assumed that the variation pattern determination random number 3 based on the first start memory generated at timings t4, t5, and t6 is a value that becomes a first-half variation pattern other than the first-half variation patterns 5, 6, and 7.

<Decoration display game G1>
As shown in FIG. 25, when the game ball wins at the first start winning opening 13 at the timing t1, the first special figure display 8 performs the variable symbol display game of the special symbol 1 and also decorates the display unit 43a. A variable display game G1 is performed.

<Decoration display game G2>
As shown in FIG. 25, when the game ball wins at the first start winning opening 13 at the timing t2, the variation display game of the special symbol 1 is played on the first special symbol display 8 after the decoration variation display game G1 ends. At the same time, the decoration variation display game G2 is also performed on the display unit 43a.

<Decoration display game G3>
As shown in FIG. 25, when the game ball wins at the first start winning opening 13 at the timing t3, the variation display game of the special symbol 1 is performed on the first special symbol display 8 after the decoration variation display game G2 ends. At the same time, the decoration variation display game G3 is also performed on the display unit 43a.

  Specifically, when a game ball wins at the first start winning opening 13 at timing t3 (step g201; Yes), the first start memory number is acquired (step g202), and the first start memory number at this time Is “1” due to winning at timing t2 (step g203; No), the first start memory number is set to “2” (step g204). Also, the big hit random number is extracted (step g205), the big hit symbol random number 1 is extracted (step g206), and the fluctuation pattern determining random number 1 is extracted (step g207). The jackpot random number extracted at step g205 is a jackpot (step g210; Yes), and the jackpot symbol random number 1 extracted at step g206 is a hit value, that is, a probability variable jackpot. (Step g211; Yes), the effect prior determination command 21 is acquired (Step g212), and the acquired effect prior determination command 21 is set (Step g120). Then, the production prior determination command 21 is transmitted to the production control device 40.

  At this time, the production control device 40 has received the production advance determination command 21 (step S101; Yes), and since there is no advance determination monitoring flag (step S102; No), the advance determination monitoring flag is set (step S104). ), A gaming state notification effect corresponding to the effect prior determination command 21 is selected (step S105). Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 25 (1), (2), and (3), a gaming state notification effect that displays “probably changing” on the display unit 43a is selected.

  If there is a game ball winning at the first start winning opening 13 at timing t4 (step g201; Yes), the first starting memory number is acquired (step g202), and the first starting memory number at this time is the timing t2. And “2” due to winning of t3 (step g203; No), the first start memory number is set to “3” (step g204). Also, the big hit random number is extracted (step g205), the big hit symbol random number 1 is extracted (step g206), and the fluctuation pattern determining random number 1 is extracted (step g207). Since the big hit random number extracted in step g205 is out of step (step g210; No), the first half variation pattern is acquired (step g116).

  At this time, the production control device 40 has received the production advance determination command 21 (step S101; Yes) and has a prior determination monitoring flag (step S102; Yes), so the acquired first-half variation pattern is stored in the production storage area. Store (step S108). Further, at timings t5 and t6, processing similar to that at timing t4 is performed.

  Next, at a timing T3, a pseudo-continuous effect determination process is performed. At this time, there is a pre-determination monitoring flag (step S111; Yes), and the variation display of the target variation display game has not ended (step S112; No), since the pseudo continuous instruction command is received (step S113; Yes), the number of STEPs of the pseudo continuous notice is calculated (step S114). More specifically, here, the number of STEPs “3” of the pseudo-continuous notice is calculated. Since there is an effect pattern in the effect storage area (step S115; Yes), the first half variation pattern is set as the effect of 1 STEP of the pseudo continuous notice (step S119). Specifically, the first half variation pattern acquired based on the winning at timing t4 is set in STEP1 of the pseudo continuous notice, the first half variation pattern acquired based on the winning at timing t5 is set in STEP2 of the pseudo continuous notice, and the timing The first half variation pattern acquired based on the winning at t6 is set in STEP3 of the pseudo-continuous notice, the pre-determination monitoring flag is cleared (step S121), and the effect storage area is cleared (step S122).

Then, when the decoration variation display game G3 is started, first, a pseudo-continuous notice STEP1 is performed, and as shown in FIG. 25 (1), the display stops at the symbols “3, 2, 5”. In addition, during the variable display in the pseudo-continuous notice STEP1, the display having the first digestion order among the first start memory number display displayed on the display unit 43a blinks. Thereby, the effect pattern performed in the pseudo-continuous notice STEP 1 can indicate that the variation pattern in the variation display game based on the first start memory whose digestion order is the first is used. .
Next, pseudo-continuous notice STEP2 is performed, and as shown in FIG. 25 (2), it stops at the “8, 2, 9” off symbol. In addition, during the variable display in the pseudo-continuous notice STEP2, the second display of the digestion order in the first start memory number display displayed on the display unit 43a blinks. Thereby, the effect pattern performed in the pseudo-continuous notice STEP2 can indicate that the variation pattern in the variation display game based on the first start memory in which the digestion order at this time is used is used. .
Next, pseudo-continuous notice STEP3 is performed, and as shown in FIG. 25 (3), it stops at the “6, 2, 3” off symbol. In addition, during the variable display in the pseudo-continuous notice STEP3, the display of the third digestion order in the first start memory number display displayed on the display unit 43a blinks. Thereby, the effect pattern performed in the pseudo-continuous notice STEP 3 can indicate that the variation pattern in the variation display game based on the first start memory in which the digestion order at this time is used is used. .

  Next, pseudo-continuous notice STEP4 is performed, and a reach state of “5, ↓, 5” is obtained as shown in FIG. 25 (4) based on the jackpot random number and jackpot symbol random number 1 extracted at timing t3. After that, at timing TE, it stops at the probability variation big hit symbol of “5, 5, 5”.

  From the above, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment is a variation that variably displays a plurality of pieces of identification information based on the winning of a game ball in the starting winning area (the first starting winning opening 13, the normal variable winning device 7). A variable display device (display device 43) capable of executing a display game, and control means (game control device 30 and effect control device 40) for controlling the variable display game performed by the variable display device. In a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state that can give a player a predetermined gaming value when the result mode of the variable display game has become a predetermined special result mode, winning a game ball in the start winning area A big hit random number storage means (game control device 30) for storing a big hit random number for determining whether or not to derive a special result mode with a predetermined number as an upper limit in order, and a big hit stored in the big hit random number storage means Fluctuation pattern determination random number storage means (game control device 30) for storing a variation pattern determination random number for storing a variation pattern of a variation display game, stored in correspondence with the random number, jackpot random number storage means and variation pattern determination Game result prior determination for determining game result information based on random number values of jackpot random numbers and variation pattern determining random numbers stored in the random number storage means for use before the start of a variable display game executed based on the random number values Means (game control device 30) and effect mode determining means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) for determining the effect mode in the variable display game based on the determination result of the game result prior determination means. The mode determining means is a target random number determination for determining whether or not the big hit random number that is the target for determining the production mode is stored in the big hit random number storage means A random number for determining whether or not the big hit random number is stored in the big hit random number storage means after the big hit random number when it is determined that the big hit random number is stored by the stage (game control device 30) and the target random number determination means The target for determining the effect mode based on the random number for determining the variation pattern corresponding to the big hit random number when the big hit random number is determined to be stored by the memory determining means (game control device 30) and the random number storage determining means And an effect determination execution means (game control device 30, effect control device 40) for determining the effect mode of the variable display game based on the big hit random number.

Thereby, the effect mode of the variable display game to be executed in the future is determined by determining the effect mode of the variable display game to be executed in the future based on the effect mode of the variable display game executed after this variable display game. Utilizing this, it is possible to realize an unprecedented novel effect of determining the effect mode of the variable display game to be executed.
Therefore, the player can experience an unprecedented presentation mode, and the interest can be improved.

  Further, the effect determination execution means determines the effect pattern based on the variation pattern determination random number corresponding to the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage means after the big hit random number to be determined for the effect mode. It is set as a part of the production mode of the variable display game based on the big hit random number to be performed.

As a result, the variation pattern of the variation display game to be executed after the variation display game to be executed in the future is set as a part of the aspect of the variation display game to be executed from now on, thereby realizing a novel production that has not been achieved in the past. be able to.
Therefore, the player can experience an unprecedented presentation mode, and the interest can be improved.

  In addition, in the one-time variation display game based on one jackpot random number stored in the jackpot random number storage unit, the effect mode determination unit performs unit variation display that stops after a plurality of pieces of identification information are variably displayed for a predetermined time one or more times. The pseudo-continuous notice effect to be performed can be determined as the effect mode of the variable display game based on the jackpot random number for which the effect mode is to be determined, and the effect determination executing means can determine the jackpot random number for which the effect mode is to be determined. A fluctuation pattern based on a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern corresponding to the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage means is set as a unit fluctuation display in the pseudo-announcement effect.

Thus, by setting the variation pattern of the variation display game to be executed after the variation display game to be executed in the future as a part of the aspect of the variation display game to be performed, and performing the pseudo-continuous announcement effect, There is no novel production.
Therefore, the player can experience an unprecedented presentation mode, and the interest can be improved.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment is stored in correspondence with the big hit random number stored in the big hit random number storage means, and is added to the game value given to the player when a special result mode is derived. A random number storage means for adding value determination (game control device 30) for storing an added value determining random number for determining the added value is provided, and the game result pre-determining means is stored in the added value determining random number storing means. The added value based on the value determining random number is determined before the start of the variable display game executed based on the jackpot random number corresponding to the added value determining random number, and the effect determining execution means is determined by the game result prior determining means Based on the result, setting an added value suggesting effect that suggests the content of the added value as a part of the effect mode of the variable display game based on the jackpot random number to be determined for the effect mode; That.

Thus, the variation pattern of the variation display game to be executed after the variation display game to be executed in the future is set as a part of the effect mode of the variation display game to be executed, and the pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed. It is possible to realize an unprecedented novel effect of setting an added value suggesting effect as a notice effect, and to notify a subsequent gaming state.
Therefore, the player can experience an unprecedented presentation mode, and the interest can be improved.

In the pseudo-continuous effect determination process of FIG. 24, the process of clearing the effect storage area in step S122 may not be performed. That is, in this case, the first half variation pattern stored in step S108 may be used as the first half variation pattern in the variation display game after the big hit.

Here, since the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g107 does not match the winning value (step g110; No), for example, any of the effect predetermination commands 101 to 104 shown in FIG. 28 is selected. Such an effect pre-determination command table is acquired.

  Next, based on the effect advance determination command table acquired in step g117, a process (step g125) of acquiring an effect advance determination command corresponding to the variation pattern determining random number 1 extracted in step g109 is performed, and then step g119 is performed. Transition.

[Start 1SW monitoring process]
As shown in FIG. 27, in the start port 1SW monitoring process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the jackpot extracted in step g206 in the start port 1SW monitoring process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. When the random number value of the design random number 1 matches the winning value (step g211; Yes), as shown in FIG. 28, the effect predetermination command 106 for instructing that the reserved storage is “probable big hit” is acquired. The process (step g223) is performed, and the process proceeds to step g219. On the other hand, if the random number value of jackpot symbol random number 1 extracted in step g206 does not match the winning value (step g211; No), as shown in FIG. 28, it indicates that the reserved storage is “normal jackpot” The process (step g224) which acquires the production prior determination command 105 to be performed is performed, and the process proceeds to step g219.

  Further, when the random number value of the big hit random number extracted in step g205 does not match the winning value (step g210; No), the process of acquiring the effect predetermination command table corresponding to the number of holdings in the first start memory at this time (Step g217) is performed. Here, since the random number value of the jackpot random number extracted in step g205 does not match the winning value (step g210; No), for example, any of the effect predetermination commands 101 to 104 shown in FIG. 28 is selected. Such an effect pre-determination command table is acquired.

  Next, based on the effect advance determination command table acquired in step g217, a process (step g225) of acquiring an effect advance determination command corresponding to the variation pattern determining random number 1 extracted in step g207 is performed, and the process proceeds to step g219. Transition.

[Production pattern creation processing]
As shown in FIG. 29, in the effect pattern creation process in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when there is no prior determination monitoring flag in the effect pattern creation process in the gaming machine of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 23 (step g102; No) determines whether or not either the effect pre-determination command 105 or the effect pre-determination command 106 is received from the game control device 30 (step S201).

  In the determination as to whether or not either the effect predetermination command 105 or the effect predetermination command 106 has been received from the game control device 30 (step S201), the effect predetermination command 105 or the effect advance determination command 106 from the game control device 30. If any of the above is received (step S201; Yes), processing for setting a pre-determination monitoring flag (step S104) is performed, and a game state notification effect is selected according to the effect pre-determination command received from the game control device 30. Is performed (step S105), and the effect pattern creation process is terminated. On the other hand, in the determination as to whether or not either the effect predetermination command 105 or the effect predetermination command 106 has been received from the game control device 30 (step S201), the effect predetermination command 105 and the effect predetermination from the game control device 30. When none of the commands 106 has been received (step S201; No), the effect pattern creation process ends.

  In the determination of whether or not there is a prior determination monitoring flag (step g102), if there is a prior determination monitoring flag (step g102; Yes), the variation pattern determination random number 2 'for determining the latter half variation pattern is used. The extraction process (step S202) is performed.

  Next, processing for obtaining a variation pattern determination random number 2 ′ determination table corresponding to the latter half variation pattern group (step S203) is performed, and the variation pattern determination random number 2 ′ extracted in step S202 and the variation acquired in step S203. Processing for determining the latter half variation pattern by comparison with the pattern determination random number 2 ′ determination table is performed (step S204).

  Next, a process of extracting a variation pattern determining random number 3 ′ for determining the first half variation pattern (step S205) and a process of acquiring a variation pattern determining random number 3 ′ determination table corresponding to the gaming state (step S206) are performed. Then, the process of determining the first-half variation pattern (step S207) is performed by comparing the variation pattern determination random number 3 ′ extracted in step S205 with the variation pattern determination random number 3 ′ obtained in step S206.

Next, a process (step S208) of storing a variation pattern composed of the latter half variation pattern determined in step S204 and the first half variation pattern determined in step S207 in the effect storage area is performed, and the effect pattern creation process is terminated. .
Thereby, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the second embodiment, the first half variation pattern and the second half variation pattern are stored by storing not only the first half variation pattern but also the second half variation pattern in the effect storage area on the effect control device 40 side. The combined variation pattern is stored. Then, by the process of step S119 of the pseudo-continuous effect determination process shown in FIG. 24, the variation pattern is set as an effect of one STEP of the pseudo-continuous notice. Therefore, not only the first half variation pattern but also a series of variation patterns can be confirmed in one STEP of the pseudo continuous notice. Moreover, since the variation pattern used for one STEP of the pseudo-continuous notice is created on the production control device 40 side, the processing burden on the game control device 30 side can be reduced.
