Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is installed on a game island (island facility) YS installed in a game arcade. A plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10 are arranged in parallel on the game island YS. In this embodiment, a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10 installed on the same gaming island YS are pachinko gaming machines 10 of the same specification capable of executing a game effect (special effect) described later. In this embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 10 with the same specification can execute various processes (such as winning lottery and prize ball payout) by the same control program, and the appearance (structure) is also the same.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a game board YB. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a launch handle HD, and when the launch handle HD is rotated, a game ball is launched onto the game board YB. In addition, on the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a decorative lamp La that performs a light emission effect is provided. Further, on the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10, a speaker Sp that performs audio output is provided.

  The game board YB is provided with a special symbol display device 11 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In the special symbol display device 11, a variation game (design variation game, special symbol variation game) in which a plurality of types of symbols (special symbols) are displayed while being varied is performed. Note that the variation display of a plurality of types of symbols (special symbols) includes displaying an image for variation (light emission display for variation is performed). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the special symbol display device 11 serves as a symbol display means for executing a variable game.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol display device 11 selects one special symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery from a plurality of types of special symbols, and the selected special symbol is stopped by the end of the variable game. Is displayed. The special symbol is classified into a jackpot symbol that can recognize a jackpot and a miss symbol that can recognize a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game.

  The game board YB is provided with an effect display device 13 for displaying images. In the effect display device 13, various display effects are performed. Specifically, the display effect is configured such that a game effect related to a variable game (a symbol variable game), for example, a decorative symbol variation game in which a plurality of types of decorative symbols are varied in a plurality of columns can be executed.

  In the decorative symbol variation game, the effect display device 13 is configured so that a plurality of types of decorative symbols can be varied and displayed for each column. The effect display device 13 is configured with a display area larger than that of the special symbol display device 11, and the decorative symbol is displayed much larger than the special symbol. For this reason, the player can recognize a big hit or miss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 in the decorative symbol variation game. In a decorative symbol variation game, when a predetermined jackpot display result (for example, a combination of decorative symbols of the same type in all rows) is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13, the jackpot game is determined from the jackpot display result. Recognize the jackpot that is awarded. When the jackpot display result (a jackpot symbol combination) is stopped and displayed, the player is given a jackpot game after the end of the variable game. On the other hand, in the decorative symbol variation game, when a predetermined display error display result (for example, a symbol combination in which all the rows of decorative symbols are not of the same type) is stopped and displayed, the deviation from the symbol combination is made. Can be recognized.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in each column in the effect display device 13, when the decorative symbol variation game is started, the decorative symbols are variably displayed along a predetermined variation direction (vertical scroll direction). When the decorative symbol variation game is started (when the decorative symbol of each column starts to vary), the left column (left symbol) → the right column (right symbol) → the middle column (when viewed from the player side in the effect display device 13) The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of “middle symbols”. If the left symbol and the right symbol that are stopped and displayed are of the same type, the reach can be recognized from the symbol combination ([↓] indicates that the symbol is changing, such as [1 ↓ 1]). The reach is displayed in a plurality of columns in a specific column (in this embodiment, the left column and the right column) with the same type of decorative symbols, and is stopped and displayed in columns other than the specific column (in this embodiment, the middle column). This is a state in which the decorative design is variably displayed. The symbol combination that can recognize this reach is the symbol combination of the reach by the decorative symbol. In the present embodiment, after the start of the decorative symbol variation game, the left column for displaying the decorative symbols first is the first stop display column, and the right column for displaying the decorative symbols is the second stop display. A middle column that is a column and finally displays the decorative symbols is the third stop display column.

  In addition, in the effect display device 13, in the decorative symbol variation game, the symbol combination (display result) corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 11 is stopped and displayed. More specifically, a special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11 corresponds to a symbol combination (display result) based on a decorative symbol that is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. For example, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11, the jackpot symbol combination (the jackpot display result) is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. In addition, when the special symbol display device 11 displays the off symbol in a stopped manner, the off symbol combination (out of display result) is also stopped on the effect display device 13. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative symbol with respect to the special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative symbol is selected from the symbol combinations (display results) based on a plurality of decorative symbols with respect to one special symbol. .

  As shown in FIG. 2, below the effect display device 13, a start winning device 15 having a start winning port 14 through which a game ball can always enter is disposed. In addition, the start winning device 15 is provided with a start sensor SE1 that detects a game ball that has entered the start winning opening 14. When the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the start winning opening 14, the start condition of the variable game can be established. In addition, when the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the start winning port 14, a predetermined number of game ball payout conditions are established.

  Further, below the effect display device 13 (below the start winning port 14), a large winning device 20 having a large winning port 19 into which a game ball can be inserted is provided. In addition, the big winning device 20 is provided with a count sensor SE3 that detects a game ball that has entered the big winning opening 19. When the count sensor SE3 detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 19, a payout condition for game balls as a predetermined number of prize balls is established.

  The big prize device 20 is provided with a big prize door 21 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator ACT1 such as a solenoid or a motor. The big prize opening 19 is always closed with the big prize opening door 21 closed. When the big hit game is awarded, the big prize opening door 21 is opened, the big prize opening 19 is opened, and the opening of the game ball is allowed. For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. In this embodiment, the big hit game is advantageous to the player because a chance to win a large number of prize balls can be obtained. The jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by the internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is stopped and displayed in the variable game.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a hold display device 22 is disposed on the game board YB. The hold display device 22 indicates the number of variable games whose execution is put on hold. Specifically, the hold display device 22 is executed (started) because the start condition of the variable game is satisfied by entering the start winning opening 14, but the execution condition of the variable game is not yet satisfied. This indicates the number of variable games that are being held, that is, the so-called start-hold memory count (hereinafter referred to as “hold memory count”).

Next, based on FIG. 3, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
A main control board 30 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control board 30 executes various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine 10 and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 executes processing related to the determination of the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 13 based on the control signal (control command) input from the main control board 30. The display content is controlled according to the processing result. The effect control board 31 controls the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp based on the control signal output from the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A start sensor SE1 and a count sensor SE3 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A special symbol display device 11 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. An actuator ACT1 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. A hold display device 22 is connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine 10. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. The variation pattern is a base for a game effect (display effect, etc.) from when the symbol (special symbol) starts to display the variation (the variation game starts) to when the symbol is stopped (the variation game ends). It shows a pattern. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from when the special symbol starts to be variably displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the variation pattern in the present embodiment, the content of the decorative symbol variation game from when the special symbol is started to be displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed (presence / absence of jackpot, presence / absence of reach effect, content of reach effect, etc.) ) Can also be specified.

  The variation pattern includes a big hit variation pattern that can specify that the big hit variation is executed in the decorative symbol variation game. In addition, the fluctuation pattern can be specified as an outlier reach fluctuation pattern that can be specified to be executed as an outlier reach fluctuation after a reach effect is performed in a decorative design fluctuation game, and a reach is formed in a decorative design fluctuation game. There is a deviation fluctuation pattern that can specify that the deviation fluctuation is executed. Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern, the loss reach variation pattern, and the loss variation pattern.

  The jackpot variation is an effect that the decorative symbol variation game is developed so as to finally stop and display the jackpot symbol combination after reaching the reach effect. Outlier reach variation is an effect that the decorative symbol variation game is developed so as to stop and display the symbol combination of the final after reaching the reach effect. The outlier variation is an effect that the decorative symbol variation game is developed so as to stop and display the off symbol combination without going through the reach effect. The reach effect is an effect that is performed in the decorative symbol variation game of the effect display device 13 after the reach symbol combination is formed until the jackpot symbol combination or the outlier symbol combination is derived.

  The reach production includes a normal reach production and a super reach production. The normal reach effect is an effect of deriving a symbol by changing the remaining one column (in this embodiment, the middle column) after the reach symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed in the decorative symbol variation game of the effect display device 13. It is a reach production. Super reach production is the content of production of reach production in two stages, after normal reach production is executed and all rows of symbols are temporarily displayed, or middle row of symbols is variably displayed. This is the reach production of the production contents in which a specific character appears and shifts (develops) to “XX reach” called by the name of the appearing character to derive a symbol. In the super reach production, the normal reach production is the first stage, and the contents are developed from the normal reach production.

  And in this embodiment, the ratio (big hit reliability or big hit expectation degree) to which a big hit game state is given is varied according to the kind of reach production. More specifically, the super reach production is set to have a higher ratio of winning the big hit gaming state than the normal reach production. This indicates that the degree of expectation (possibility) that the big hit gaming state is given is higher in the super reach production than in the normal reach production. The ratio at which the big hit game state is given is determined according to the distribution mode when the fluctuation pattern in which each reach effect is performed is distributed to the reach effect instead of the big hit effect. In other words, in order to increase the percentage that the jackpot gaming state of the reach effect is given, the ratio that the reach effect appears in the symbol variation game (the overall ratio that appears in the case of reach out of the case of the jackpot) The variation pattern may be distributed so that the ratio of occurrence of the reach effect in the case of a big hit is increased and the ratio of occurrence of the reach effect in the case of outlier reach is reduced (or either one is performed). In this way, by changing the ratio that the big hit game state is given, the reach symbol combination is displayed, and when the reach effect is performed, the player wins the jackpot according to the type of the reach effect. Can change expectations.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a big hit determination value used in the big hit determination (win lottery). The main control ROM 30b stores a reach determination value used in the reach lottery for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect.

The main control RAM 30c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.
Further, in the main control board 30, various random numbers used as a hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, a reach determination random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number are generated. Incidentally, the hit determination random number is a random number used for the big hit determination (win lottery). The random number for reach determination is a random number used for reach determination (reach lottery). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. The values that can be taken by the random numbers for variation pattern distribution have different distributions for each category of the loss variation pattern, the loss reach variation pattern, and the big hit variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a as effect control means for controlling the execution of the game effect. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. In addition, the effect control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The effect display CPU 13 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and when various control commands are input, the display content of the effect display device 13 is controlled based on the effect control program. In addition, a decoration lamp La is connected to the CPU 31a for effect control. The effect control CPU 31a is connected to a speaker Sp.

  Further, the effect control board 31 is provided with a real time clock (RTC) 31d as a time measuring means for measuring time. In addition, the effect control board 31 is equipped with a backup power source that can supply power after the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered off. The backup power source is, for example, a capacitor or a secondary battery. Thereby, the real-time clock 31d operates by receiving power supply from the pachinko gaming machine 10 when power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine 10, and measures the time. On the other hand, the real-time clock 31d operates by receiving power supply from the backup power supply after the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered off. The real time clock 31d can also measure the current date (year, month, day, and day of the week).

  Next, various processes such as a special symbol input process and a special symbol start process executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a hold determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the start winning opening 14. That is, in the hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (when the ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a specifies the hold storage number based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c, and the specified hold storage number is the upper limit value (this implementation). In the embodiment, the pending storage number determination is performed to determine whether the number is less than “4”). When the determination result of the reserved memory number determination is negative (when the upper limit value of the reserved memory number has been reached), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the pending storage number determination is affirmative (when the upper limit value is not reached), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the variable game, and stores a predetermined storage area in the main control RAM 30c. Store the random value obtained in. At that time, it is stored so that the acquisition order of random values related to the variable game can be recognized. The main control CPU 30a is configured to be able to specify the number of pending storages based on the storage contents of the main control RAM 30c (the storage amount of random values not yet used in the variable game). The main control CPU 30a controls the hold display device 22 to display the updated hold memory number when the stored content of the main control RAM 30c is updated and the hold memory number changes. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command for designating hold storage information such as the number of hold memories after the update. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated. When the determination result of the hold determination is negative (when the ball has not entered the start winning opening 14), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
When not in the big hit game or the variable game, the main control CPU 30a specifies the reserved memory number and determines whether or not the reserved memory number is larger than “0”. When the number of reserved memories is “0”, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (when the number of stored memories> 0), the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition of the variable game is satisfied, and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. A value indicating that the variation game is executed is set in the special symbol variation processing flag. In the present embodiment, neither the big hit game nor the variable game is being executed, and the execution condition of the variable game is satisfied when the number of reserved memories is> 0.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a, among random number values related to the variable game (used for the variable game), random number values related to the variable game that are executed earliest in accordance with the acquisition sequence (random numbers for hit determination, variable pattern distribution) Random numbers for use, special design distribution random numbers, etc.). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest acquired random number value that is related to the variable game and that has not yet been used to execute the variable game is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the specified reserved storage number, and changes the display content of the hold display device 22 so as to represent the reserved storage number. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a hold designation command indicating hold storage information such as the number of hold memories after update.

The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the acquired random number for hit determination matches the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (hit lottery).
When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (in the case of a big hit), the main control CPU 30a determines a final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11 from the big hit symbols. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation pattern based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes relating to the variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. At the same time when the fluctuation pattern designation command is output, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 11 so as to start the fluctuation of the special symbol. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a specially displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time (variation time) set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the symbol display device 11 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the decorative symbols based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when the big hit determination is not), the main control CPU 30a performs a reach determination for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the reach determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 30c matches the reach determination value.

  If the determination result of reach determination is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the outlier reach variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the reach determination is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as a final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the deviation variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  When determining the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts the control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, and the effect control board 31 ( A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the CPU 31a for effect control.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 19 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a opens the big winning opening 19 until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a predetermined time predetermined for each round game elapses.

  Then, when the special winning opening 19 is closed, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until a predetermined interval time has elapsed for each round game, and then ends the round game. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached.

  When the predetermined number of round games are finished, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, the effect display device is based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The combination of symbols by the decorative symbols to be stopped and displayed at 13 is determined.

  That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is an outlier design and the outlier reach variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the outlier reach. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a missing symbol and the deviation variation pattern is designated, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of deviation.

  When the variation pattern designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a, as a rule, executes the decorative symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command unless the RTC effect is described later. The effect display device 13 is controlled. In addition, when the variation control designation command is input, the production control CPU 31a, as a general rule, performs a game production relating to the decorative symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command, unless the RTC effect is described later. The decorative lamp La and the speaker Sp are controlled so as to be executed. After that, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a, as a rule, ends the decorative symbol variation game and displays the determined symbol combination unless the RTC effect described later is being performed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it can be said that the effect control CPU 31a is configured to start execution control of a game effect (decorative symbol variation game) related to the symbol variation game when the start condition is satisfied. Further, since the main control CPU 30a determines the variation pattern, it can be said to be an effect determining means for determining the effect contents of the game effect.

  In addition, when the opening control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a starts a jackpot game effect (a jackpot effect). Specifically, when the opening control command is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the opening effect to be executed among the jackpot game effects. When the round command is input, the effect control CPU 31a causes the round effect to be executed out of the jackpot game effects. When the ending command is input, the effect control CPU 31a executes the ending effect among the jackpot game effects and ends the jackpot game effect.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute a demonstration effect until the next variation pattern designation command is input when there is no reserved memory number and no jackpot game is given after the variation game is over. Has been. More specifically, the effect control CPU 31a starts the demonstration effect when the variable game is finished (when the all symbols stop command is input) and no big hit game is given. For this reason, it can be said that the effect control CPU 31a performs control so that the demonstration effect is executed when the variable game is not executed.

  There are several types of demonstration productions. Specifically, as a demonstration effect, there is a standby demonstration in which an image at the end of the decorative symbol variation game (display image when the symbol combination by the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed) is continuously displayed. Note that the decorative lamp La may emit light during the standby demonstration. In addition, there is a title demonstration where a logo such as a company name or model name is displayed as a demonstration. In addition, as a demonstration production, there is a model introduction demonstration in which images (character images, etc.) that explain notes, specifications, how to hit, etc. during a game are displayed.

  The demonstration effect is repeatedly executed as long as the variable game is not executed (that is, unless a change pattern designation command is input), and when it is repeated, the type of demonstration effect executed and the effect time May be different. Specifically, in the first demonstration effect, a standby demonstration is executed for 40 seconds after the end of the variable game, and then a title demonstration is executed for 40 seconds. Next, a model introduction demonstration is executed for 30 seconds, and the first demonstration production ends. In the demonstration demonstration for the second time and thereafter, after a standby demonstration is executed for 20 seconds, a title demonstration is executed for 40 seconds.

  In this embodiment, the demonstration effect is controlled to start when the effect control CPU 31a determines that the variable game is over and the jackpot game is not given, but the main control CPU 30a You may make it notify the start instruction | indication of demonstration production. Specifically, when the main control CPU 30a determines that the number of reserved memories does not exist and the jackpot game is not given after the end of the variation pattern (after the output of all symbol designation commands), the demonstration effect is executed. The demo command to instruct may be output. Then, the production control CPU 31a waits for the image at the end of the decorative symbol variation game until the demonstration command is input, and controls to start a series of demonstration effects triggered by the input of the demonstration command. In addition, the demonstration effect in the present embodiment is configured to be executed by the effect display device 13 and the decoration lamp La, and the sound related to the demonstration effect is not output from the speaker Sp.

  In this embodiment, the RTC effect (real-time clock effect) can be executed as a special effect. The RTC effect is an effect executed for a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10 (10 in this embodiment). Specifically, the special effect is an effect that is executed by forming an effect group together with other pachinko gaming machines 10 that can execute the same RTC effect installed in the same game island YS. In addition, the RTC effect is an effect that is started when a predetermined condition (arrival of a specific time) is established, as will be described later, and is an effect that is started regardless of the progress of game effects other than the RTC effect. Other game effects include fluctuating games (special symbol fluctuating games and decorative symbol fluctuating games), jackpot gaming effects, demonstration effects (customer waiting effects), and the like. In this embodiment, the RTC effect is performed using the effect display device 13 and the decoration lamp La, and a sound effect accompanying the RTC effect is output from the speaker Sp. In the present embodiment, ten pachinko gaming machines 10 belonging to the RTC effect production group are provided. Thereby, the RTC effect is executed for ten pachinko gaming machines 10 arranged in parallel on the same gaming island YS.

  The RTC effect is configured to be able to start when the real time clock 31d mounted on each pachinko gaming machine 10 belonging to the effect group has timed a specific time X. The specific time X may be a predetermined time of the day, or may specify a date and time. For example, the specific time X may be set so that the RTC effect can be executed every hour from 10:00 to 22:00 in one day. Also, the specific time X may be set so that the RTC effect can be executed at 12:00 on April 1, 2000.

  Then, when the RTC effect is started, in principle, it is preferentially executed over other game effects (demonstration effects and decorative symbol variation games). Executing preferentially means that the RTC effect is executed so that the RTC effect becomes the center of the effect by restricting the execution of other game effects (so that attention is gathered by the RTC effect). It is. The RTC effect can be ended when the RTC effect time has elapsed from the start of the RTC effect. When the RTC effect ends, other game effects are executed as usual.

  In the present embodiment, the content of the RTC effect is different from the content of the game effect that is normally performed, such as a jackpot game effect, a decorative symbol variation game, or a demonstration effect. Specifically, the RTC effect is an effect in which a story or music flows.

  In this embodiment, the RTC effect is composed of a main effect (main effect) and an RTC ending effect (end effect). For the main production, the production time and production contents are determined in advance. On the other hand, in the RTC ending production, the production time is variable only by setting the shortest production time, and the production content can be changed according to the production time. For this reason, the main production effect is executed in cooperation with a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10 so that a powerful game production can be provided. On the other hand, the RTC ending effect is executed in cooperation with a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10 within the shortest effect time, but thereafter, it differs for each pachinko gaming machine 10. The effect time of the RTC effect refers to the total time of the effect time of the main effect and the shortest effect time of the end effect. When the effect time of the RTC effect elapses, the RTC effect can be ended. ing.

  Hereinafter, the RTC effect start process for causing the effect display device 13 and the decoration lamp La to start executing the RTC effect will be described with reference to FIG. The RTC effect start process is executed when the specific time X is counted by the effect control CPU 31a.

  The effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the real-time clock 31d has timed the specific time X (step S101). When this determination result is negative (step S101: No), the CPU 31a for effect control ends the RTC effect start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S101 is affirmative (step S101: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the big hit game effect is being performed in the effect display device 13 (step S102). When this determination result is affirmative (step S102: Yes), the CPU 31a for effect control ends the RTC effect start process as it is. That is, when the big hit game effect is being performed, in order to give priority to the big hit game effect in the effect display device 13, the execution of the RTC effect is not permitted even if the specific time X is timed. In addition, as a result, the effect control CPU 31a executes the jackpot game effect in preference to the RTC effect, and the effect of the RTC effect starts when the specific time X is timed when the jackpot game ends. When the time has not elapsed, it can be said that the control is performed so as to restrict the execution of the RTC effect until the effect time of the RTC effect elapses.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S102 is negative (step S102: No), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a variable game with a specific content is being executed (step S103). The variation game with specific content is a variation game with production content with high expectation degree of jackpot, and in the present embodiment, refers to a decorative design variation game with super reach production. In addition, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the game is a variation game having a specific content based on the variation pattern used to execute the variation game (the variation pattern designated by the inputted variation pattern designation command). It is like that. That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the decorative symbol variation game is executed based on the big hit variation pattern or the outlier reach variation pattern including the super reach effect in the effect contents.

  When the determination result of step S103 is negative (step S103: No), the CPU 31a for effect control sets a value for instructing the execution of the RTC effect of the normal version (first aspect) in the RTC execution flag (step S104). The RTC effect start process is terminated. When the value for instructing execution of the RTC effect of the normal version (first aspect) is set in the RTC execution flag, the effect control CPU 31a subsequently executes the RTC effect of the effect display device 13 so as to execute the RTC effect of the normal version. The display content, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp are controlled.

  At this time, the RTC effect of the normal version (first aspect) is executed in the entire display area of the effect display device 13, and the execution of other game effects (demonstration effects and decorative symbol variation games) is performed. Being regulated. That is, an image related to another game effect is not displayed on the effect display device 13, a light-emitting effect related to the other game effect is not executed by the decoration lamp La, and a sound output related to the other game effect is also output from the speaker Sp. Is not done. On the other hand, the image related to the RTC effect of the normal version is displayed on the entire display area of the effect display device 13, the light emission effect related to the RTC effect is executed by the decoration lamp La, and the sound output related to the RTC effect is output from the speaker Sp. Is done.

  When the determination result in step S103 is affirmative (step S103: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a sets a value instructing execution of the reduced version (second mode) RTC effect to the RTC execution flag (step S105). The RTC effect start process is terminated.

  The reduced version of the RTC effect is executed together with the super reach effect (fluctuating game with specific contents). Specifically, the reduced version of the RTC effect is executed in a display area reduced in comparison with the normal version of the RTC effect, and the super reach effect (fluctuating game with specific contents) is continued in the other display areas. The display area of the reduced version RTC effect is set at the lower right of the display area of the effect display device 13.

  The display content itself of the RTC effect in the reduced display area is the same as that of the reduced version of the normal version of the RTC effect. Further, the decoration lamp La preferentially executes the light emission effect related to the super reach effect (fluctuating game with specific contents) and does not perform the light effect related to the RTC effect. On the other hand, the sound related to the RTC effect is output from the speaker Sp together with the sound related to the super reach effect. Therefore, the reduced-size RTC effect can be executed even during the super-reach effect, but it can be said that the super-reach effect is preferentially executed over the reduced-size RTC effect.

  Therefore, when the value for instructing the execution of the reduced version of the RTC effect is set in the RTC execution flag, the effect control CPU 31a subsequently executes the reduced version of the RTC effect together with the variable game of the specific content. The display contents of the display device 13, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp are controlled.

  From the above, it can be said that the CPU 31a for effect control of the present embodiment starts execution control of the RTC effect when the real time clock 31d times the specific time X. Further, the effect control CPU 31a can control the normal version (first aspect) of the RTC effect to be preferentially executed over the other game effects when the real time clock 31d measures the specific time X. I can say that. Further, even when the real time clock 31d measures the specific time X, the production control CPU 31a has a specific content (super reach production) determined as the production content of the decorative symbol variation game by the main control CPU 30a. It can be said that the execution of the game effect of the specific content is continued. At the same time, it can be said that the effect control CPU 31a controls to execute a special effect of a reduced version (second aspect) different from the normal version (first aspect).

  Next, the normal version RTC effect end processing for ending the normal version RTC effect will be described with reference to FIG. The normal version RTC effect end process is executed at predetermined intervals by the effect control CPU 31a.

  The effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a value instructing execution of the normal version (first mode) RTC effect is set in the RTC execution flag, that is, whether or not the normal version RTC effect is being performed. (Step S201). When this determination result is negative (step S201: No), the CPU 31a for effect control ends the normal version RTC effect end process.

  When the determination result is affirmative (step S201: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the real time clock 31d counted the specific time X (step S202). The predetermined time corresponds to a time (RTC effect effect time) that is the sum of the effect time of the main effect of the RTC effect and the shortest effect time of the end effect. That is, in step S201, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the shortest effect time has elapsed in the end effect. When this determination result is negative (step S202: No), the effect control CPU 31a ends the normal version RTC effect end process and continues the execution of the normal version RTC effect. That is, the display contents of the effect display device 13, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp are controlled so that the normal version of the RTC effect is executed.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S202 is affirmative (step S202: Yes), the CPU 31a for effect control is in the middle of a variable game when the effect time of the RTC effect ends (when the end effect of the shortest effect time ends). It is determined whether or not (step S203). Whether or not the game is in a changing game can be determined to be in a changing game when, for example, a change pattern designation command is input and no symbol stop command is input. It is also possible to determine whether or not the game is in the changing game based on whether or not the production time specified by the changing pattern specified by the changing pattern specifying command has elapsed since the input of the changing pattern specifying command. .

  If this determination result is affirmative (step S203: Yes), the CPU 31a for effect control determines to extend the RTC effect (the end effect) until it is specified that the time is the end of the variable game (step). S204), the normal version RTC effect end processing is ended. The identification method at the end of the variation game may be identified as the end of the variation game when the all symbols stop command is input, or the variation pattern from the beginning of the variation game (when the variation pattern designation command is input). The point of time when the variation time specified based on the time elapses may be specified as the end of the variation game.

  If the CPU 31a for effect control determines to extend the RTC effect until it is specified that it is the end of the variable game, the execution of the end effect is extended until it is specified that it is the end of the variable game. Let That is, the display contents of the effect display device 13, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp are controlled so as to extend the RTC effect. Thereby, if the CPU 31a for effect control determines that the variable game is in progress when the predetermined time has elapsed since the real time clock 31d measured the specific time X, until it determines that the variable game has ended, It can be said that the execution control of the RTC effect is extended.

  At that time, the effect content of the end effect is changed according to the time until the end of the variable game. In other words, the production content of the end effect is changed by adding the production content of the end production along with the extension. Then, at the end of the variable game (at the end of the RTC effect), the effect control CPU 31a resets the RTC execution flag and deletes the value instructing the execution of the normal version of the RTC effect. Thereby, the normal game effect is executed until the real time clock 31d times the specific time X again.

  When the determination result in step S203 is negative (step S203: No), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not there is a reserved storage number (step S205). If this determination result is affirmative (step S205: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a resets the RTC execution flag at that time, and erases the value instructing the execution of the normal version of the RTC effect (step S206). The normal version RTC effect end process ends. That is, when there is a pending variation game and the variation game ends just when the end effect of the shortest effect time ends, the effect control CPU 31a ends the RTC effect at that timing, and the next variation Prepare for the game.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of step S205 is negative (step S205: No), that is, when the demonstration effect is executed because the variable game is not executed and there is no reserved memory number, The CPU 31a specifies the demonstration effect with the earliest start time among the multiple types of demonstration effects from the time point when the predetermined time has elapsed (step S207). More specifically, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the end time of the previous variation game, and when a plurality of types of demonstration effects are sequentially executed from the end of the previous variation game, the real time clock 31d is specified. The demonstration effect with the earliest start time is specified at a timing after a predetermined time (the effect time of the RTC effect) has elapsed since the time X was counted. Then, the effect control CPU 31a decides to extend the execution of the end effect until the start time of the demonstration effect (step S208), and ends the RTC effect end process.

  Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control has a predetermined timing in the demonstration effect based on the elapsed time from the end of the previous variable game when the variable game is not executed when the predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the RTC effect. It can be said that control is performed so that the execution of the RTC effect is extended until the timing. Moreover, it can be said that the said timing is the time of the start of any kind of demonstration production.

  Then, when it is determined that the RTC effect is to be extended until the start time of the demonstration effect, the effect control CPU 31a extends the execution of the end effect until the start time of the demonstration effect. That is, the display contents of the effect display device 13, the light emission mode of the decoration lamp La, and the sound output mode of the speaker Sp are controlled so as to extend the RTC effect. At that time, the effect content of the end effect is changed according to the time until the end of the variable game. In other words, the production content of the end effect is changed by adding the production content of the end production along with the extension. Then, the effect control CPU 31a resets the value of the RTC execution flag at the start of the demonstration effect (at the end of the RTC effect), and erases the value instructing the execution of the normal version of the RTC effect. Thereby, the normal game effect is executed until the real time clock 31d times the specific time X again.

  Next, a reduced version RTC effect end process for ending the reduced version RTC effect will be described with reference to FIG. The reduced version RTC effect end processing is executed at predetermined intervals by the effect control CPU 31a.

  The effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a value instructing execution of the reduced version (second mode) RTC effect is set in the RTC execution flag, that is, whether or not the reduced version RTC effect is being performed. (Step S211). When this determination result is negative (step S211: No), the effect control CPU 31a ends the reduced RTC effect end process.

  When the determination result is affirmative (step S211: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the variable game with the specific content has ended (step S212). The specific method at the end of the specific content variation game is to specify the time when all symbols stop command is input after the start of the specific content variation game (after the variation pattern designation command is input) as the end of the specific content variation game. Or, when the variation time specified based on the variation pattern that specifies the specific content has elapsed from the start of the variation game with the specific content (when the variation pattern designation command is input), May also be specified.

  When this determination result is negative (step S212: No), the effect control CPU 31a ends the reduced version RTC effect end process and continues execution of the reduced version RTC effect. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S212 is affirmative (step S212: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a big hit game is awarded after the end of the variable game with the specific content (step S213). . If the determination result is affirmative (step S213: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a deletes the value for instructing execution of the reduced version RTC effect from the RTC execution flag (step S214). Then, the reduction plate RTC effect end process ends. That is, when the big hit game effect is started, the RTC effect is ended in order to give priority to the big hit game effect in the effect display device 13 and the decoration lamp La.

  When the determination result in step S213 is negative (step S213: No), the effect control CPU 31a sets a value instructing execution of the normal version of the RTC effect to the RTC execution flag (step S214). Then, the RTC end process ends. As a result, when the variable game with specific contents is finished and the big hit game is not given, the CPU 31a for effect control regulates the execution of other game effects (decorative pattern change game or demonstration effect after the next time) The RTC effect will be executed. When the reduced version RTC effect is changed to the normal version RTC effect, the normal version RTC effect is executed from the point of time that has elapsed since the start of the RTC effect (specific time X). ing. That is, in consideration of the elapsed time up to that point, the normal version of the RTC effect is executed halfway. However, the display content of the reduced version of the RTC effect is merely a reduction of the display content of the normal version of the RTC effect. Therefore, even if it is started in the middle, the connection of the effect is good, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  In this case, the content of the effect of the next variation game to be executed is regulated regardless of the content. In addition, the production time of the variable game with specific content is set shorter than the predetermined time (the total time of the production time of the main production effect of the RTC effect and the shortest production time of the end effect). For this reason, before the RTC effect ends, the variation game with specific contents ends.

  Further, in this embodiment, before the RTC effect is executed (that is, before the specific time X is timed), a countdown effect (start suggestion effect) suggesting that the RTC effect is executed can be executed. It is configured. The countdown effect is configured to indicate the start of the RTC effect by counting down the numeric image 10 seconds before the specific time X when the RTC effect is started.

  Hereinafter, based on FIG. 7, the countdown effect execution process for executing the countdown effect will be described. The countdown effect execution process is executed by the effect control CPU 31a at the start of the countdown.

  The effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a predetermined countdown effect start time has been counted (step S301). At the start of the countdown effect, it can be determined by determining whether or not the real time clock 31d is before the effect time of the countdown effect (10 seconds before) rather than counting the specific time X.

  When the determination result is negative (step S301: No), the effect control CPU 31a ends the countdown effect execution process. On the other hand, when the determination result is affirmative (step S301: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the big hit game effect is being performed (step S302). When the determination result is affirmative (step S302: Yes), the effect control CPU 31a ends the countdown effect execution process without causing the countdown effect to be executed. That is, priority is given to the execution of the big hit game effect over the countdown effect.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in step S302 is negative (step S302: No), the effect control CPU 31a sets a value for instructing execution of the countdown effect in the countdown effect execution flag (step S303), and performs countdown effect execution processing. finish. Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control causes the countdown effect to be executed. The countdown effect is configured to be executable together with other game effects (decorative symbol variation game and demonstration effect). In the present embodiment, the effect display device 13 is configured to superimpose and display an image (for example, a numeric image) related to the countdown effect on another game effect.

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a deletes the value instructing the execution of the countdown effect from the countdown effect execution flag when the countdown effect ends (when the specific time X is counted) or when the big hit game is given.

  Next, based on FIG. 8, the RTC medium jackpot process when the jackpot game is executed during the RTC effect will be described. The RTC medium jackpot process is executed by the effect control CPU 31a when a big hit game is awarded during the RTC effect.

  When the RTC medium jackpot process is executed, the effect control CPU 31a first deletes the value instructing the execution of the RTC effect from the RTC execution flag (step S401). Thereby, the RTC effect by the effect display device 13 and the decoration lamp La is ended (even during the effect).

  Then, the effect control CPU 31a determines to execute the dedicated jackpot game effect when the jackpot game is executed during the RTC effect (step S402). Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control terminates the execution of the RTC effect, and instead executes the exclusive jackpot game effect with priority. In other words, the effect control CPU 31a executes a dedicated opening effect when an opening command is input, executes a dedicated round effect when a round command is input, and executes a dedicated ending effect when an ending command is input.

  In the present embodiment, the execution of the decorative symbol variation game is restricted during the RTC effect. However, in conjunction with the execution of the variation game (special symbol variation game), the linkage is different from the decorative symbol. It is comprised so that a symbol can be variably displayed. Specifically, in the display area of the effect display device 13, a plurality of types of interlocking symbols are displayed in the lower right minimal area. Then, the execution of the special symbol variation game is started, a plurality of types of interlocking symbols are variably displayed, the execution of the special symbol variation game is terminated, and the plurality of types of interlocking symbols are stopped and displayed. Further, when the big hit symbol (special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the special symbol variation game, the big hit interlocking symbol is stopped and displayed accordingly. Similarly, in the special symbol variation game, when the off symbol (special symbol) is stopped and displayed, the off-linkage interlocking symbol is stopped and displayed accordingly. Thereby, the player can also determine whether or not the game is in a variable game, depending on whether or not the interlocking symbol is displayed in a variable manner.

  Next, control related to audio output related to the RTC effect when the specific time X is timed will be described. In the present embodiment, when the specific time X is timed, the sound related to the RTC effect is output together with the sound related to the other game effect regardless of the other game effect. Specifically, the effect control CPU 31a controls the speaker Sp so as to output a sound related to the RTC effect when the specific time X is counted. When the RTC effect is extended, a sound is output along with it. Thereby, when an RTC effect is executed in cooperation with another pachinko gaming machine 10, at least the sound effect can be cooperated, and a powerful sound effect can be provided.

Next, the start timing and end timing of the RTC effect will be described together with the operation thereof based on FIGS.
First, in FIG. 9A, it is assumed that the big hit game is not given from the start of the countdown effect until the RTC effect ends. In addition, a description will be given on the assumption that a variable game other than specific contents is continuously executed a plurality of times. In FIG. 9A, the upper row shows the execution status of the variation game (special symbol variation game), and the middle portion is displayed on the effect display device 13 when it is assumed that the RTC effect is not executed. The display content is illustrated, and the lower display shows the actual display content of the effect display device 13 (when the RTC effect is executed).

  When the start time of the countdown effect is counted, the effect control CPU 31a starts the countdown effect together with the changing game being executed (time point T1). When the specific time X is counted, the effect control CPU 31a restricts the decorative symbol variation game (ends it halfway) and starts the main effect of the normal RTC effect (time T2). Thereafter, even if the variable game is repeatedly executed, the RTC effect is preferentially executed (time points T3 and T4). Then, when a predetermined time elapses after the specific time X is timed and the shortest effect time of the end effect elapses, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a variable game is being played (time point T5). Since the variation game is executed based on the premise, the effect control CPU 31a extends the execution of the end effect until the variation game ends (time T6). Thereby, as soon as the RTC effect ends, the decorative symbol variation game can be executed from the start of the next variation game.

  In FIG. 9B, description will be made assuming that the floating game and the big hit game are not executed and the demonstration effect can be executed. In FIG. 9B, the upper row shows the execution status of the variation game (special symbol variation game), and the middle portion is displayed on the effect display device 13 when it is assumed that the RTC effect is not executed. The display content is illustrated, and the lower display shows the actual display content of the effect display device 13 (when the RTC effect is executed).

  When the start time of the countdown effect is counted, the effect control CPU 31a starts the countdown effect together with the demonstration effect (standby demonstration and title demo) being executed (time point T11). When the specific time X is counted, the effect control CPU 31a restricts the demonstration effect (ends it in the middle of the title demonstration) and starts the main effect of the normal RTC effect (time point T12). Thereafter, even when the demonstration production (model introduction demonstration, standby demonstration) is started, the RTC production is preferentially executed (time points T13 and T14). Then, when a predetermined time elapses after the specific time X is timed and the shortest production time of the end production elapses, the production control CPU 31a starts the earliest demonstration production (second time in FIG. 9B). (At the start of the title demonstration) is specified (time T15). Then, the effect control CPU 31a extends the execution of the end effect until the start of the demonstration effect (at the start of the second title demonstration in FIG. 9B) (time point T16). Thus, when the RTC effect is completed, the demonstration effect can be restarted from the start of any one of the demonstration effects (second title demonstration in FIG. 9B). In other words, the demonstration production can be resumed from the production break.

  FIG. 10A illustrates a case where a big hit game is given at the start of the countdown effect and at the start of the RTC effect. Also, in FIG. 10 (a), description will be made assuming that the variable game is continuously executed after the end of the big hit game. In FIG. 10 (a), the upper row shows the status of granting a big hit game or the running status of a variable game (special symbol variation game), and the middle row shows an effect display when it is assumed that no RTC effect is executed. The display content displayed on the device 13 is illustrated, and the lower display portion shows the actual display content of the effect display device 13 (when the RTC effect is executed).

  Even if the start time of the countdown effect is timed (time point T21), since the big hit game is given from the premise, the CPU 31a for effect control gives priority to the execution of the big hit game effect and does not start the countdown effect.

  Similarly, even when the specific time X is timed (time T22), since the big hit game is still given from the premise, the effect control CPU 31a gives priority to the execution of the big hit game effect and does not start the RTC effect. Thereafter, even if the predetermined time (time T24) has elapsed since the specific time X was counted (that is, even before the shortest presentation time of the end presentation has elapsed), the presentation control CPU 31a performs the RTC. Does not execute the production. Thus, when the big hit game is finished, a normal game effect (decorative symbol variation game or the like) is executed (time T23).

  FIG. 10B illustrates a case where a big hit game is given during the RTC effect. Further, in FIG. 10B, description will be made assuming that the variable game is continuously executed in a period other than the big hit game. In FIG. 10 (b), the upper row shows the status of granting a big hit game or the running status of a variable game (special symbol variable game), and the middle row displays an effect when it is assumed that no RTC effect is executed. The display content displayed on the device 13 is illustrated, and the lower display portion shows the actual display content of the effect display device 13 (when the RTC effect is executed).

  When the start time of the countdown effect is counted, the effect control CPU 31a starts the countdown effect together with the decorative symbol variation game being executed (time point T31). Then, when the specific time X is counted, the effect control CPU 31a regulates the decorative symbol variation game (finishes it halfway) and starts the main effect of the normal version of the RTC effect (time T32). Then, when a big hit is made in the variable game executed during the RTC effect from the premise (time T33), the effect control CPU 31a ends the RTC effect and preferentially executes the big hit game effect. Thereafter, even if the predetermined time (time T35) has elapsed since the specific time X was counted (that is, even before the shortest presentation time of the end presentation has elapsed), the presentation control CPU 31a performs the RTC. Does not execute the production. Thus, when the big hit game is finished, a normal game effect (decorative symbol variation game or the like) is executed (time T34).

  In FIG. 11, description will be made assuming that the start of the countdown effect and the specific time X are timed during a decorative symbol variation game (a variation game with specific contents) accompanied by a super reach effect. Further, in FIG. 11, description will be made on the assumption that the big hit game is not given and the variable game is repeatedly executed after the end of the specific content variable game. In FIG. 11, the upper row shows the execution status of the variation game (special symbol variation game), and the middle portion shows the display contents displayed on the effect display device 13 when the RTC effect is assumed not to be executed. In the lower part of the figure, the display contents of the actual effect display device 13 (when the RTC effect is executed) are illustrated.

  When the start time of the countdown effect is counted, the effect control CPU 31a starts the countdown effect together with the super-reach effect being executed (variable game with specific contents) (time T41). Then, when the specific time X is counted, the effect control CPU 31a continues the super reach effect as it is, and starts a reduced version of the RTC effect (time T42). Thereby, a super reach production can be preferentially shown.

  After that, when the super reach effect (fluctuating game with specific contents) is finished, the effect control CPU 31a restricts the execution of the new decorative symbol change game and causes the normal version of the RTC effect to be executed halfway (time T43). Then, when a predetermined time elapses after the specific time X is timed and the shortest production time of the end effect elapses, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not a variable game is being played (time T44). Since the variable game is being executed based on the premise, the effect control CPU 31a extends the execution of the end effect until the variable game ends (time T45). Thereby, as soon as the RTC effect ends, the decorative symbol variation game can be executed from the start of the next variation game.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) If it is determined that a varying game is being played when a predetermined time (the RTC rendering effect time) has elapsed since the start of the RTC effect (when the specific time X is timed), the variable game has ended. Until it is determined, the RTC effect is extended. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the RTC effect from being ended in the middle of the changing game and the normal effect (decorative symbol changing game) from being resumed from the middle of the changing game. That is, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the contents of the production cannot be understood starting from the middle of the decorative symbol variation game. Therefore, the performance can be executed according to the situation, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  (2) When extending the RTC effect, the CPU 31a for effect control extends the end effect that is a part of the RTC effect. Thereby, the main effect can be executed in common in any pachinko gaming machine 10. Accordingly, when the RTC effect is executed in cooperation with a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10, the main effect of the RTC effect can be at least cooperated, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (3) When the execution of the end effect is extended, the effect control CPU 31a extends the end effect so that the effect time of the end effect becomes equal to or longer than the predetermined shortest effect time. Thereby, the end effect can be executed for the minimum effect time or longer. Therefore, even if it is extended, within the shortest production time, the end production can be cooperated by a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10, and the interest of the game is improved.

  (4) When extending the end effect, the effect control CPU 31a changes the effect content of the end effect according to the extension time. For this reason, even when the end effect is extended, the content of the effect changes according to the extended time, so that the player can be entertained. Moreover, it does not give a sense of incongruity.

  (5) When the variation game is not executed when the predetermined time has elapsed from the specific time X (when the RTC production effect time has elapsed), the effect control CPU 31a is based on the elapsed time from the end of the previous variation game. In the demonstration effect, a predetermined timing (effect break) is specified, and control is performed to extend the execution of the RTC effect until the timing. In other words, when the demonstration effect is executed from the end of the previous variation game, the effect control CPU 31a specifies the timing at which the demonstration effect is cut after a predetermined time, and extends the RTC effect until the timing. Thereby, when the RTC effect is completed, it is possible to prevent the demonstration effect from being executed from a timing other than a predetermined timing. For this reason, an effect can be executed according to the situation, and the player does not feel uncomfortable. In other words, by setting the break of the demonstration effect as the timing, it is not started in the middle of the demonstration effect, and it is easier to appeal so that the player is more focused.

  (6) There are a plurality of types of demonstration effects, which are configured to be executed in order from the end of the variable game. Then, when the variation game is not executed when the predetermined time (the effect time of the RTC effect) has elapsed since the specific time X, the effect control CPU 31a has elapsed based on the elapsed time from the end of the previous variation game. The start time of the demonstration effect that starts earliest from the time is specified, and the RTC effect is extended until the start time. Thereby, when the RTC effect is ended, any kind of demonstration effect is executed from the beginning, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable. Moreover, if the production time of each demonstration production is shortened, the time for extending the RTC production can be easily shortened.

  (7) A plurality of types of demonstration effects are configured to be repeatedly executed, and when repeatedly executed, the execution order of the demonstration effects, the time of each demonstration effect, and the type of demonstration effect to be executed are changed. ing. Specifically, in the first demonstration effect, a standby demonstration is executed for 40 seconds after the end of the variable game, and then a title demonstration is executed for 40 seconds. Next, a model introduction demonstration is executed for 30 seconds, and the first demonstration production ends. In the demonstration demonstration for the second time and thereafter, after a standby demonstration is executed for 20 seconds, a title demonstration is executed for 40 seconds. Thereby, the variation of demonstration production can be increased and a player's attention can be collected.

  (8) Even if the specific time X is timed, the effect control CPU 31a still performs the super reach effect (specific content game effect) if the super reach effect (specific content game effect) is being executed. The execution of the effect) is continued, and the RTC effect of the reduced version (second mode) different from the normal version (first mode) is executed. Even when the specific time X is timed, the effect control CPU 31a restricts execution of the RTC effect and preferentially executes the jackpot game effect when the jackpot game is determined. To control. Thereby, when a super reach effect (game effect of specific contents) is executed, a reduced version (second mode) RTC effect can be executed together with the super reach effect. For this reason, it is possible to continue the super reach production that attracts the attention of the player, maintain the attention of the player, and improve the interest of the game. In addition, since the reduced version of the RTC effect can be shown, even if the super reach effect is finished and the normal version of the RTC effect is continued to be executed, the reduced version of the RTC effect has been executed. The connection of the production can be improved. In addition, when a big hit game is awarded, the execution of the RTC effect can be restricted so that the big hit game effect can be noticed, and the interest of the game can be improved. On the other hand, when the super reach effect and the big hit game effect are not executed, the normal version of the RTC effect can be preferentially executed and concentrated on the RTC effect. In this way, the performance can be executed according to the situation, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  (9) The decorative symbol variation game accompanied by a super reach production is a decorative symbol variation game (game production) having a production content with a high degree of expectation of jackpot. As a result, when a decorative symbol variation game with a high degree of expectation of jackpot is executed, the decorative symbol variation game can be executed, maintaining the player's attention and improving the interest of the game. In addition, the decorative symbol variation game with a high expectation degree of jackpot is not interrupted, and the player's interest can be maintained.

  (10) The effect control CPU 31a executes the jackpot game effect in preference to the RTC effect, and the effect time of the RTC effect has elapsed since the specific time X was counted when the jackpot game ended. Even if it is not, control is performed so as to restrict the execution of the RTC effect until the effect time of the RTC effect elapses. In other words, when the execution of the RTC effect is restricted by the big hit game, the RTC effect is not resumed even if the big hit game ends. For this reason, the RTC effect is resumed halfway, and the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  (11) When the jackpot game is given during the RTC presentation, the effect control CPU 31a ends the execution of the RTC presentation and is executed only when the jackpot game is given during the RTC presentation. Control to execute. Thereby, even if it is a case where an RTC effect is ended on the way, an interest of a player can be improved by executing a dedicated jackpot game effect. Moreover, it can be made to pay more attention to whether or not the big hit game is given during the RTC effect.

  (12) A speaker Sp that outputs sound is provided, and the speaker Sp outputs sound related to the RTC effect even when the super reach effect or the big hit game effect is executed when the specific time X is timed. That is, even if the RTC effect is not preferentially executed or restricted, the speaker Sp outputs a sound related to the RTC effect. As a result, when the specific time X is timed, at least the sound related to the RTC effect is output, so even if a plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10 cooperate to execute the RTC effect, the sound is shared. Therefore, the interest of the RTC effect is not impaired in the other pachinko gaming machines 10.

  (13) Before starting the RTC effect, the effect control CPU 31a can control the countdown effect that suggests the start of the RTC effect to be executed together with the decorative symbol variation game, while the jackpot game effect is executed. The countdown effect is not executed. Thereby, although the RTC effect is not executed, the countdown effect can be prevented from being executed, and the player is not confused. In addition, when the countdown effect is executed, it can be recognized that the RTC effect will start soon.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, the time from the specific time X to the predetermined time is the RTC effect production time, but may be changed. For example, the time when a predetermined time has elapsed from the specific time X may be the end of the main production. It is desirable that the period from the elapse of the predetermined time to the time when the RTC effect can be ended is shorter than the shortest variation time among the variation times of the variation game. Thus, it is possible to determine whether or not the variation game is in progress when the RTC effect production time has elapsed, without prefetching the variation time of the pending variation game.

  In the above embodiment, when the RTC effect is extended, the effect content is changed by adding the effect content every time it is extended. As another example, the end time of the variable game may be prefetched to specify the effect time to be extended, and the effect content may be changed in advance according to the effect time to be extended. At the end of the variation game, for example, prefetching can be performed based on a designated variation pattern.

  In the above embodiment, during execution of the reduced version of the RTC effect, the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not the big hit game is awarded at the end of the variable game with the specific content (see step S213). Instead, the process may proceed to step S215, and a value instructing execution of the normal version of the RTC effect may be set in the RTC execution flag. Even in this case, the same result can be obtained because the value of the RTC execution flag is reset by the RTC middle jackpot process.

  -In the said embodiment, although the RTC effect of the 2nd aspect reduced the display content of the RTC effect of the 1st aspect, the 1st aspect and the effect aspect should just differ, and you may change arbitrarily. It should be noted that even if the game is executed together with the decorative pattern variation game having a specific content, it is desirable that the game does not interfere with the specific design variation game. For example, the display content of the first aspect of the RTC effect may be simplified, simplified, or deformed.

  -In the said embodiment, when the production | generation time of RTC production is progressing, if it is during a variation game, the RTC production was extended until the said variation game was complete | finished, but it does not need to be extended.

  In the above embodiment, when the RTC effect production time elapses, if the game is in a variable game, the RTC effect is extended until the variable game ends, but is extended until the next variable game starts. May be. The start of the next variation game can be specified by inputting the variation pattern designation command. That is, the effect control CPU 31a may extend the RTC effect until the next variation pattern designation command is input.

In the above embodiment, the RTC effect is composed of the main effect and the end effect, but only the main effect may be used. In this case, the main production will be extended.
In the above embodiment, the shortest production time for the end production is determined, but the shortest production time may not be determined. That is, the end effect does not have to be executed as long as the main effect can be ended after the main effect is ended.

  In the above embodiment, when the end effect is extended, the end effect is changed according to the time for extending the effect content of the end effect. That is, the stop image may be continuously displayed.

  In the above embodiment, when the RTC effect is started during the super reach effect, the second mode RTC effect is executed, but the first mode RTC effect is executed and the effect mode is changed. An effect may be executed. For example, the normal version of the RTC effect may be executed, and a reduced version super-reach effect with reduced display content or a simplified super-reach effect may be executed.

  In the above embodiment, when the RTC effect production time has elapsed, if the variable game is not being executed and there is no reserved memory number, the RTC effect may be terminated regardless of the demonstration effect at that time. good.

  In the above-described embodiment, the CPU 31a for effect control has a predetermined timing in the demonstration effect when the variation game is not executed and the number of reserved memories does not exist when the effect time of the RTC effect elapses. The RTC effect is extended until the timing is up to, but the timing may be arbitrarily changed. For example, any timing during the standby demonstration may be used. In the standby demonstration, only the image is stopped and displayed, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable at any timing.

  In the above embodiment, the demonstration effect is composed of a plurality of types of demonstration effects, but may be composed of a single type of demonstration effect.

  In the above embodiment, the RTC effect need not be extended if the demonstration effect can be executed from the beginning at the end of the effect time of the RTC effect.

  In the above embodiment, the same demonstration effect may be repeatedly executed. The demonstration effects may be repeatedly executed in the same type, the same production time, and the same order.

  In the above embodiment, during the jackpot game effect, the execution of the RTC effect is restricted in the effect display device 13 and the decoration lamp La, but it may be executed. In this case, it is desirable to execute an RTC effect having a content different from normal, for example, a content that can recognize that a big hit game is given. Also, for example, a reduced version of the RTC effect may be executed together with the jackpot game effect.

  In the above-described embodiment, the variation game with specific content is a decorative design variation game with effect content having a high expectation degree of jackpot, but may be low. For example, it may be a decorative symbol variation game with a production content having a low appearance rate.

  In the above embodiment, if a big hit game is given when the specific time X is timed, or if a big hit game is given during the RTC production, the RTC effect is not executed even if the big hit game ends. However, when the big hit game effect ends, the RTC effect may be executed from the middle.

In the above embodiment, when a big hit game effect is given during the RTC effect, a dedicated big hit game effect is executed, but a normal big hit game effect may be executed.
In the above embodiment, the sound output related to the RTC effect is executed from the speaker Sp from the time when the specific time X is timed regardless of whether or not the execution of the RTC effect is restricted in the effect display device 13. Along with the restriction on the execution of the RTC effect in the effect display device 13, the audio output related to the RTC effect may be restricted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the sound regarding the RTC effect is output from the speaker Sp from the time when the specific time X is timed together with the sound output regarding the game effect (super reach effect) of the specific content or the sound output regarding the jackpot game effect. It was configured to be able to. As another example, only the sound related to the RTC effect may be output from the time when the specific time X is counted, and the sound output related to any other game effects may be restricted.

-In the said embodiment, although the countdown effect was performed, it does not need to be performed.
In the above embodiment, when the big hit game is given or when the big hit game is given, the execution of the countdown effect is restricted, but it may not be restricted.

In the above embodiment, the countdown effect is executed even when the variable game with specific contents is executed, but may be restricted.
In the above embodiment, the production control board 31 is provided with the real-time clock 31d, but may be provided on the main control board 30. In this case, the RTC effect may be instructed to be executed by the main control CPU 30a instead of the effect control CPU 31a, or the main control CPU 30a may instruct the effect control board 31 when the specific time X is timed. May be.

  In the above embodiment, the production content of the start suggestion effect is a countdown, but the production content may be arbitrarily changed as long as it indicates the start of the RTC effect in advance. For example, a predetermined character may appear.

  In the above embodiment, the specific time X is common to the plurality of pachinko gaming machines 10 installed on the same gaming island YS, but may be different. Thereby, attention can be paid to when the RTC effect is executed.

  In the above embodiment, the countdown effect is executed together with the decorative symbol variation game or the demonstration effect, but the countdown effect may be executed with priority. That is, the countdown effect may be executed by restricting the execution of the decorative symbol variation game or the demonstration effect.

  In the embodiment described above, the interlocked symbols can be displayed during the RTC effect, but may not be displayed. Further, it may be displayed on a display device other than the effect display device 13.

  In the above embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not to execute a game content with specific contents, but the effect control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute a game effect with specific contents. May be. Specifically, a plurality of types of effect contents can be determined within a change time determined by the change pattern determined by the main control CPU 30a, and it is determined whether or not to execute a game effect with a specific content. That's fine. Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control can be used as effect determining means for determining the effect contents of the game effect.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is adopted for a pachinko gaming machine, but it may be realized by a slot machine (rotating type gaming machine, hereinafter referred to as a slot). In addition, as for the slot, when the player operates the start operation means (start lever) (when the start condition is established), a plurality of reels (fluctuating games) in which symbols are arranged start to fluctuate, This is to determine whether or not the game is correct or not. In the slot, after the reels are rotated, a symbol stop process based on the determination of success / failure is executed in response to an operation of a stop operation means (stop button) provided corresponding to each reel. Value (award medal, etc.) is given.

  Further, when employed in the slot, it is not always necessary to execute the decorative symbol variation game in the effect display device, and an effect display such as an effect game suggesting a result of the determination of success or failure may be performed. In the slot, the specific state corresponding to the big hit game is, for example, a state in which a predetermined determination result (predetermined winning combination) is likely to be established (so-called replay time or the like), or a predetermined symbol combination (game). It is a state (so-called assist time or the like) that makes it easy to stop a predetermined combination that gives value). In addition, in the slot, the special game state corresponding to the probability change state is changed by changing the appearance rate of a predetermined winning combination (small role) or changing the occurrence rate of the winning combination (small role navigation), The substantial acquisition probability of the predetermined winning combination may be changed. For example, a state (so-called replay time or the like) in which a predetermined success / failure determination result (predetermined winning combination) is likely to be established, or a state in which a predetermined symbol combination (predetermined combination for giving game value) is easily stopped ( It may be a so-called assist time.

  In the above embodiment, when the normal version of the RTC effect is being executed, the execution of other game effects is restricted, but may be executed together with the normal version of the RTC effect. That is, the decorative symbol variation game may be executed together with the normal version of the RTC effect. At this time, it is desirable to change the display mode of the decorative symbol variation game, for example, by reducing or simplifying it.

  -In the above embodiment, the super reach effect can be executed together with the reduced version of the RTC effect. However, during the super reach effect, the execution of the reduced version of the RTC effect is restricted and only the super reach effect is executed. Also good.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) The gaming machine includes a sound output means for outputting sound, and the sound output means is a case where a game effect or a big hit game effect with a specific content is executed when the time measuring means measures a specific time. Even if it exists, you may make it output the sound regarding the said special effect with the sound regarding the game effect of a specific content or the game effect of a jackpot game effect.

  (B) The gaming machine includes a voice output unit that outputs a voice, and the voice output unit executes a game effect or a big hit game effect with a specific content when the clocking unit clocks a specific time, While restricting the sound related to the game effect and the big hit game effect of the specific content, the sound related to the special effect may be output.

  (C) In the above gaming machine, the effect control means can control the start suggestion effect suggesting the start of the special effect together with the game effect related to the symbol variation game before starting the special effect. When a game effect is executed, the start suggestion effect may not be executed.

  (D) an effect executing means for executing a game effect, an effect determining means for determining the content of the effect of the game effect, and a time measuring means for measuring time, wherein the effect executing means is configured such that the time measuring means has a specific time. On the other hand, when the specific content is determined as the effect content by the effect determining means, even when the time measuring means measures the specific time, the special effect can be executed. A gaming machine that executes a game effect having a specific content preferentially over the special effect.
