In this general-purpose indicator 73, there are cases where a plurality of types of normal symbols (hereinafter referred to as “normal”) are triggered by the detection of pachinko spheres by the ball passage detection sensor 72 (passage of pachinko spheres by the ball passage gate 31). ) Is changed to display one map. Then, from the final display result of the general map display 73, it is possible to recognize the hit or miss of the general map.

(Regarding the general hold)
Further, in the game board 20, information (various random information described later) acquired when a pachinko ball passes through the ball passage gate 31 is stored as start hold information in a storage means (main control RAM 60c) inside the machine. When this is done, a general map hold display unit 74 for displaying the number of hold of the general map hold information is provided, and the number of fluctuations of the general map held by the display content of the general map hold display unit 74 is indicated. Informed. The number of reserved map start reserved displayed in the map hold display section 74 is incremented by 1 when the pachinko ball passes through the ball passing gate 31 and decremented by 1 when the map variation display is started. Note that a predetermined upper limit number (“4” in the embodiment) is set for the general-purpose start reserved memory number, and the general-purpose start reserved memory number can be added up to the upper limit number.

(About probability change)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a first privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 1st privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said special winning opening 34a is a state which increases compared with the state where the said 1st privilege game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 34a can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state may be referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is based on the fact that the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol (specific symbol). (Probability) is a function that gives a probability change state in which the probability varies from a low probability to a high probability.

(About variable state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving the second privilege gaming state as a gaming state advantageous to the player after the big hit game ends. Here, the second privilege gaming state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning chance of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 33a is increased as compared to a state where the second privilege gaming state is not given. . Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 33b that opens the second start winning opening 33a, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 33a can be increased. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 33b for opening the second start winning opening 33a once per normal figure, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 33b. It can also be realized by increasing the number of times the member 33b is opened, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state may be referred to as “shortening state”.

(About jackpot games)
Next, the jackpot game given by the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment will be described. The jackpot game is set to start after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special chart displays 61A and 61B as a result of the special chart fluctuation display, and the opening effect OP indicating the start of the jackpot game and the opening effect end. The game is composed of a round game repeated after a specified number of rounds (16 rounds in the embodiment) with an interval time between rounds, and an ending effect ED indicating the end of the big hit game. In the round game, the opening / closing body 34b of the special prize-winning device 34 opens and closes according to the opening / closing operation corresponding to the type of the big hit game, and a predetermined number (for example, nine) of the special prize opening 34a is obtained in one round game. One round game ends when a pachinko ball wins or when a specified time (round game time) elapses from the start of each round game. In addition, between each round game in a big hit game, the interval time between rounds in which the opening-and-closing body 34b is hold | maintained in a closed state only for predetermined time is set. That is, in the jackpot game, the opening / closing body 34b performs an opening / closing operation that exceeds the specified number of rounds for each jackpot game.

(About types of jackpot games)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, when a big hit determination is won, one big hit game is selected from a plurality of types (two types in the embodiment) of big hit games having different values given to the player. The determined jackpot game is awarded. Here, which of the two types of jackpot game is awarded is determined based on the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2) determined when winning the jackpot determination. It has become so. In the embodiment, the special figure 1 as the jackpot symbol that can be displayed on the first special figure indicator 61A (in the example, 100 kinds of special figures 1) is classified into two groups of the symbol A and the symbol B. When the special figure 1 that is confirmed and stopped on the one special figure display 61A is a big hit symbol, a big hit game corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol (designs A to B) is given. Similarly, the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol that can be displayed on the second special figure indicator 61B in the embodiment (in the embodiment, 100 kinds of special figures 2) is classified into two groups of the symbol a and the symbol b. When the special figure 2 that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 61B is a big hit symbol, a big hit game corresponding to the type of the big hit symbol (designs a and b) is given. .

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, after the jackpot game is finished, until the next jackpot game is generated, the probability variation state and the short state are continuously given, and after the jackpot game is finished, the probability variation state. On the other hand, after the jackpot game is over, the variable state is continuously given until a predetermined number of fluctuations (100 in the embodiment) symbol fluctuation effect (first or second special figure fluctuation display) is executed. Non-probability variable big hit game is set, and depending on the type of symbols displayed on the first special figure display 61A and the second special figure display 61B, any probability variable big hit game is given. It has become. Specifically, the special figure 1 as the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol A is displayed on the first special chart display 61A, or the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol classified as the symbol a is the second special figure. When displayed on the display 61B, a promising big hit game is given, and the special figure 1 as a big hit symbol classified as the symbol B is displayed on the first special symbol display 61A, or the big hit classified as the symbol b When the special figure 2 as a symbol is displayed on the second special figure display 61B, an uncertain variable big hit game is given. In each jackpot game, the specified number of rounds is set to “16”, and the upper limit number of games (specified number) for each round game is set to “9”. In other words, each jackpot game is a jackpot game with a different value (privilege amount) given to the player by whether or not a probable change state is granted after the jackpot game ends and the grant period (number of times of change) of the change state is different. It is. It should be noted that a plurality of jackpot games having different numbers of prescribed rounds may be set, and a difference may be provided in the value (privilege amount) given to the player in one jackpot game.

(Control configuration of pachinko machine)
Next, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, a main control board 60 that controls the pachinko machine 10 as a whole and a sub-control that controls each control object based on a control signal from the main control board 60.

That is, the overall control board 65 is configured to control the display control board 70, the lamp control board 75, and the sound control board 76 based on a control signal (control command) output from the main control board 60. Various game effects (design variation effects, light emission effects, and sound effects) executed at 10 can be comprehensively controlled. Here, the display control board 70 is configured to display a design variation effect such as a design (decorative drawing) or a background image displayed on the first display device 17 based on a control signal (control command) output from the overall control board 65. The display content and the display content accompanying the symbol variation displayed on the second display device 71 are controlled. In addition, the lamp control board 75 controls the timing of turning on / off the various light emission effect means provided in the pachinko machine 10, the light emission intensity, and the like based on the control signal (control command) output from the overall control board 65. It is. The sound control board 76 controls the timing of audio output from the various speakers 19 provided in the pachinko machine 10 and the output contents based on the control signal (control command) output from the overall control board 65.

(Main control board 60)
As shown in FIG. 11, the main control board 60 includes a main control CPU (main control means) 60a for executing control processing, a main control ROM 60b for storing a control program executed by the main control CPU 60a, and processing of the main control CPU 60a. A main control RAM 60c capable of writing / reading necessary data is provided. Various sensors such as the start winning detection sensors 54 and 55, the special winning detection sensor 58, and the ball passing detection sensor 72 are connected to the main control CPU 60a. In addition, the main control CPU 60a includes the first and second special figure displays 61A and 61B, the first and second special figure hold display parts 62A and 62B, the general figure display 73, the general figure hold display part 74, and the like. A display is connected, and the display control of each display 61A, 61B is executed based on the control processing executed by the main control CPU 60a triggered by the detection of each detection sensor 54, 55. The main control CPU 60a is connected to solenoids 56 and 57 provided in the start winning device 33 and the special winning device 34, and the solenoids 56 and 57 are controlled based on the control processing result in the main control CPU 60a. By driving, the corresponding opening / closing member 33b and the opening / closing body 34b are opened and closed. The main control CPU 60a is configured to drive and control the special prize solenoid 57 so that the opening / closing body 34b opens and closes in an opening / closing manner according to the type of the big hit game.

  The main control CPU 60a confirms that the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 29a or the second start winning opening 33a (more specifically, the first start winning detection sensor 54 or the second start winning detection sensor 55 receives the pachinko ball). It is set to acquire a random number for determination as winning information when triggered by (detected). Here, as the determination random numbers (winning information) acquired by the main control CPU 60a, random numbers for special figure determination, random numbers for special figure determination, random numbers for performance execution determination (random numbers for reach determination), random numbers for fluctuation pattern distribution Various random numbers such as a random number for determining a common figure and a random number for determining a common figure are set. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these values at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the values before the update. A determination random number corresponding to the timing at which the detection signals of the second start winning detection sensors 54 and 55 are input to the main control CPU 60a is acquired. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process for measuring time. The main control RAM 60c stores (sets) various pieces of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  The random number for special figure determination is a random number used in a hit determination (big hit determination) as to whether or not a big hit game (win game) is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. Further, the special figure determining random number determines the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 61A or the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 61B according to the result of the big hit determination. It is a random number to be used. Each value of the special figure determination random number is set with a random number corresponding to one kind of special figure display indicating the above-mentioned deviation and a random number corresponding to 100 kinds of special figure display indicating the winning of the big hit, Based on the value of the special figure determining random number, the special figure 1 displayed on the first special figure display 61A and stopped on the first special figure display 61A or the special figure 2 displayed on the second special figure display 61B is specified. ing. That is, the special figure 1 to be confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display 61A is specified by the value of the special figure determination random number acquired by the detection of the first start prize detection sensor 54, and the second start prize is obtained. Based on the value of the special figure determination random number acquired in response to the detection of the detection sensor 55, the special figure 2 to be confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 61B is specified. As described above, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbols are classified for each type of jackpot game, and the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is specified, so The type of jackpot game to be given after the end is specified. That is, the special figure determining random number has a function as a random number for determining the type of the big hit game.

  In addition, the random number for effect execution determination suggests that the winning indication may be displayed when the result of the determination in the big hit determination (hit determination) is negative (in the case of a failure to win the big hit). Random numbers used in effect execution determination (reach determination) as to whether or not to perform an effect, and a plurality of types of effect execution determination random numbers are updated at a predetermined period (4 ms). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used for determining a variation pattern of symbol variation in the symbol variation effect, and a plurality of types of variation pattern distribution random numbers are updated at a predetermined period (4 ms).

  In the pachinko machine of the embodiment, the random number for determining the special figure, the random number for determining the special figure, the random number for determining the performance execution, and the random number for distributing the variation pattern are sent to the first start winning opening 29a or the second starting winning opening 33a. Each temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c triggered by the winning of the ball (more specifically, the first start winning detection sensor 54 or the second start winning detection sensor 55 detects the pachinko ball) The main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers at the same timing. In addition, each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 29a is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 33a. Are commonly used, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 29a and 33a.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used in the determination of whether or not a big hit using the random number for determination per special figure (big hit determination), and a predetermined number of determination values from integers that can be taken by the random number for determination per special figure Is stipulated. Here, the number of determination values set for the jackpot determination value differs depending on whether or not the probability variation state described above is applied at the time when the jackpot determination is performed. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state is set larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the non-probability variation state. That is, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state, the jackpot is likely to occur.

  The main control ROM stores special figure determination values. The determination value for determining the special figure is displayed in the fixed stop display on the special figure 1 or the second special figure display 61B as the big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special figure display 61A when the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. This is a determination value for determining the special figure 2 as the jackpot symbol using the special figure determining random number. Here, in the embodiment, an integer value corresponding to the special figure determining random number is set as the special figure determining determination value, and each of the special figure determining determination values is individually shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. Are associated.

  In addition, an effect execution determination value (reach determination value) is stored in the main control ROM. The effect execution determination value is an effect indicating whether or not to execute an effect such as a reach effect that suggests the possibility that the winning display is displayed on the first display device 17 when the result of the hit determination (big hit determination) is negative. This is a determination value used in execution determination (reach lottery), and is determined from integers that can be taken as random numbers for determination of execution execution. Here, the performance execution determination value is the performance execution performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 29a (more specifically, when the first start winning detection sensor 54 detects the pachinko ball). In the case of determination, and in the case of performance execution determination that is triggered by the fact that the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 33a (more specifically, that the second start winning detection sensor 55 has detected the pachinko ball) Therefore, the number of judgment value settings is different. Further, the effect execution determination value is set according to whether or not the above-described certainty change state is assigned at the time of performing the effect execution determination and whether or not the variable state is assigned at the time. The number is different.

  That is, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 29a, it is set when the non-probability change state is set rather than the number of effect execution determination values set in the probability change state. The number of production execution determination values to be performed is set to be larger. Further, in the case of the performance execution determination performed when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 29a, the number of the performance execution determination values set in the variable speed state is not in the variable speed state. It is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set to is larger. In the case of the production execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 29a, the production is performed according to the storage number of the first special figure start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c. The set number of execution determination values may be changed. Specifically, the set number can be set so that the set number of effect execution determination values decreases as the number of stored first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. That is, when the stored number of first special figure start hold information is “4”, the set number of production execution determination values is minimized.

  And in the case of the production execution determination performed when the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 33a, the number of production execution determination values set in the variable state is not in the variable state. Is set so that the number of effect execution determination values set in is smaller. In the case of an effect execution determination that is performed when a pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 33a, the effect is determined according to the number of second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c. The set number of execution determination values may be changed. Specifically, the set number can be set such that the set number of effect execution determination values decreases as the number of second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. That is, when the stored number of first special figure start hold information is “4”, the set number of production execution determination values is minimized.

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The judgment value per common figure is a judgment value used for judging whether or not it is per common figure using the random number for judgment per common figure (judgment per common figure). A predetermined number of determination values are determined. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of determination values per common figure set in the variable state is set to be larger than the number of determination values per general figure set in the non-variable state. In other words, by increasing the number of determination values per common map in the variable state, it is easy for the normal map to occur.

  Furthermore, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns (sometimes referred to as special figure variation patterns) for identifying variation contents, and variation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to each variation pattern. Has been. Here, the variation pattern is an effect content (display content of the symbol variation effect, light emission effect) executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the fixed stop display. Content, which is a basic basis of the mode and the sound production mode). The variation pattern is the variation time from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display to the final stop display of the special figure 1 or special figure 2 (design fluctuation effect and special figure fluctuation display). Specific time). The variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used to determine the variation pattern using the variation pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined determination value is assigned to each variation pattern, and the obtained variation pattern distribution The variation pattern to which the variation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the random number for use is assigned is specified.

  FIG. 13 shows a variation pattern that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a in response to winning at the start winning ports 29a and 33a in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, as fluctuation patterns for loss (when the hit determination means is negative), a deviation fluctuation pattern P1, a normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern P2, and a super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P4 are normally set. As variation patterns when the hit determination means is affirmative, a variation pattern P3 per normal reach, a variation pattern P5 per super reach, a re-lottery variation pattern P6 per normal reach, and a re-lottery variation pattern P7 per super reach are set. Note that the fluctuation patterns P3 and P5 are fluctuation patterns in which re-lottery is not performed, and the fluctuation patterns P6 and P7 are fluctuation patterns in which re-lottery is performed. The re-drawing variation patterns P6 and P7 are set so that they can be determined regardless of the types of jackpot symbols in the special figures 1 and 2.

  The effect patterns that specifically define the symbol variation effects specified by the normal reach deviation variation pattern P2 and the variation pattern P3 per normal reach are respectively stored in the overall control ROM 65b as a normal reach deviation effect pattern D2 and an effect pattern D3 per normal reach. When the normal reach deviation variation pattern P2 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the normal reach deviation production pattern D2, and when the normal reach variation pattern P3 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the normal reach deviation production pattern D3. It comes to decide. In the normal reach off stage effect pattern D2 and the normal reach per effect pattern D3, after the normal reach effect is executed, the final symbol is derived as a result of the normal reach effect. Specifically, the decorative display variation display is started with the normal background (normal variation image) displayed as the background image. The normal background is a basic background image that is displayed with a normal symbol variation effect without a special effect, and is displayed with an irrelevant effect without a reach effect. It means what is displayed until the next symbol variation effect is started. In addition, the normal background is displayed in the symbol variation effect accompanied by the reach effect between the start of the change and the reach display.

  After the change starts, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left symbol row 66a, and thereafter, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the right symbol row 66c, and a reach display (reach symbol) is displayed, and a normal reach effect is executed. In the normal reach production, the reach production is performed with the normal background without switching the background image. That is, the normal reach effect means a reach effect that is executed with the normal background without changing the background image from the time when the reach display is displayed. Then, after the stop of the right symbol row 66c, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 66b, and thereafter, the three decorative drawings are confirmed and stopped. In the normal reach loss production pattern D2, the final loss symbol is derived as the final symbol, and in the normal reach per production pattern D3, the final jackpot symbol is derived as the final symbol.

  The effect patterns that specifically define the symbol variation effects specified by the super reach deviation variation pattern P4 and the variation pattern P5 per super reach are stored in the overall control ROM 65b as the super reach deviation effect pattern D4 and the effect pattern D5 per super reach. ing. When the super-reach shift pattern P4 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the super-reach shift effect pattern D4, and when the super-reach shift pattern P5 is determined, the general control CPU 65a determines the super-reach shift pattern P4. An effect pattern D5 is determined. In this super reach deviation production pattern D4 and per super reach production pattern D5, after executing the above-described normal reach production, the super reach production is executed, and in the super reach deviation production pattern D4, the combination of the out of design as a result of the super reach production. The super-reach per production pattern D5 is derived as a result of the super reach production. The combination of the losing symbol derived from the super-reach off effect pattern D4 and the combination of the jackpot symbol derived from the effect pattern D5 per super-reach are final derived symbols and final jackpot symbols that are determined once without being changed again after being derived. It is.

  The specific content specified by the super-reaching off effect pattern D4 and the per-reach effect pattern D5 is displayed as a normal image (normally variable image) as a background image, and the decorative display of the decorative image is started. Then, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the left symbol row 66a and the right symbol row 66c, a reach display (reach symbol) is displayed, and a normal reach effect is executed. The background image is switched from the normal background to the reach effect image after a predetermined time from the execution of the normal reach effect, and the super reach effect is started. The reach effect image is a background image that is one of the special backgrounds and is displayed in a mode different from the normal background, and allows the player to recognize that it is a super reach effect. That is, the super reach effect is a reach effect that is executed through a normal reach effect, and is a reach effect that is executed under the reach effect image. In the super reach effect, after the stop of the right symbol row 66c, the decorative drawing is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 66b, and the final off symbol or the final jackpot symbol is derived. Then, the last off symbol and the final jackpot symbol are temporarily stopped as the reach effect image, and then the background image is switched from the reach effect image to the normal background. Further, after a predetermined time after switching to the normal background, the final lost symbol and the final jackpot symbol are fixedly stopped. When the final off-set symbol is confirmed and stopped, the next symbol variation effect (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the next variation) is started with the normal background.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, various suggestion effects suggesting that a reach effect is performed, that the reach effect is developed into a super reach effect, or that a hit display may be displayed. Can be executed during the symbol variation effect on the first display device 17 based on the suggestion effect information stored in the overall control ROM 65b. In this embodiment, as the suggestion effect, the specific suggestion effect during the symbol variation using the motion sensors 44 and 49 can be performed using the first display device 17 and the second display device 71. . The specific suggestion effect during symbol variation will be described later.

(Regarding the redrawing effect pattern)
The effect pattern that specifically specifies the symbol variation effect specified by the re-lottery variation pattern P6 per normal reach is stored in the overall control ROM 65b as the first re-lottery effect pattern D6 per normal reach and the second re-lottery effect pattern D7 per normal reach. In addition, the effect patterns that specifically specify the symbol change effect specified by the re-lottery change pattern P7 per super reach are the first re-draw effect effect D8 per super reach and the second re-draw effect effect pattern D9 per super reach. Is stored in the overall control ROM 65b. When the re-lottery variation pattern P6 per normal reach is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first re-lottery effect pattern D6 per normal reach or the second re-lottery effect pattern D7 per normal reach, and the re-lottery variation per super reach. When the pattern P7 is determined, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first re-lottery effect pattern D8 per super reach or the second re-lottery effect pattern D9 per super reach. These re-lottery effect patterns D6, D7, D8, and D9 change the decoration drawing again after temporarily stopping the decoration drawing that is temporarily displayed at the effective stop position 68 in each of the symbol rows 66a, 66b, and 66c. The content of the effect which confirms and stops the decoration drawing which becomes a display per confirmation at the effective stop position 68 is specified. Specifically, in the redraw lottery effect patterns D6, D7, D8, and D9, reach is displayed on the stop symbol effective line 69 when the decorative drawing temporarily stops at the effective stop position 68 of the left symbol row 66a and the right symbol row 66c. , And temporarily stop the decorative drawing that becomes a temporary hit display after the reach effect or the super reach effect in the middle symbol row 66b, and thereafter, the three decorative symbols arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 in the horizontal direction. It is set so that the decorative figure which is changed again so as to move (horizontal scrolling) and becomes a confirmed hit display is confirmed and stopped at the effective stop position of each of the symbol rows 66a, 66b and 66c (see FIG. 21). In the embodiment, a plurality of types of effect patterns are stored in the overall control ROM 65b as the re-lottery effect patterns D6, D7, D8, and D9. In addition, the first re-lottery effect pattern D6, D8 can be determined when the jackpot game won in the jackpot determination is a probable big hit game (winning with symbols A and a), whereas the second re-lottery effect pattern D7 and D9 are determined in both cases where the jackpot game won in the jackpot determination is a probabilistic jackpot game (winning in symbols A and a) and a non-probable jackpot game (winning in symbols B and b). Is possible.

  In the first re-lottery effect patterns D6 and D8 of the embodiment, a temporary winning display is formed by a decorative drawing (that is, the second identification symbol) in which it is not certain that the probability variation big hit game is given, and the probability variation big hit game is given. It is set so that a display per unit of determination is formed by a decorative drawing (that is, the first identification symbol) that is fixed. That is, in the first re-lottery effect pattern D6, D8 of the embodiment, by displaying the temporary winning display once with a combination of a decorative figure (that is, the second identification symbol) that is not determined that the probability variation big hit game is given, The expectation that the decorative drawing forming the symbol combination is changed after the winning display (provisional winning display) is displayed can be continuously maintained until the decorative drawing is stopped. On the other hand, in the second re-lottery effect patterns D7 and D9, a temporary winning display is formed by a decorative drawing (that is, the second identification symbol) that is not determined to be given a probable big hit game, and the probable change even after the re-change It is set so that a confirmed winning display is formed by a decorative figure (that is, the second identification symbol) in which it is not certain that the big hit game is given. In the second re-lottery effect patterns D7 and D9, there are cases where the decoration drawing before the change again and the decoration drawing after the change change are not changed. In the following description, after temporarily stopping the temporary winning decorative drawing, the effect of changing the three decorative drawings arranged in the stop symbol effective line 69 again and stopping the decorative drawing that becomes the confirmed winning display will be redrawn. May be referred to. Further, after the provisional winning display is formed with the second identification symbol on the basis of the first re-lottery effect patterns D6 and D8, the final winning display is formed with the first identification symbol due to re-variation is referred to as “promotion”. In some cases, after the provisional winning display is formed with the second identification symbol based on the second re-lottery effect patterns D7 and D9, the fixed identification display is formed with the second identification symbol due to re-variation. It may be called “promotion”. In this embodiment, a re-lottery specific suggestion effect using the motion sensors 44 and 49 can be performed in the re-lottery effect. The re-lottery specific suggestion effect will be described later. In addition, when the big hit game won in the big hit judgment is a probable big hit game (winning in the symbols A and a), all of the decorative drawings (the first identification symbol and the second identification symbol) will be displayed in the temporary lottery display Can be determined by re-lottering effect when the big hit game won by the big hit judgment is a non-probable big hit game (winning with symbols B and b) The decorative drawing (temporary stop decorative drawing) that forms a temporary contact display is limited to the second identification symbol (even number).

As shown in FIG. 11, an overall control ROM 65b and an overall control RAM 65c are connected to the overall control CPU 65a. The overall control CPU 65a updates various random number values at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the overall control RAM 65c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The overall control ROM 65b stores an overall control program for overall control of the display control board 70, the lamp control board 75, and the sound control board 76. When the overall control CPU 65a receives various control commands, the overall control CPU 65a executes various controls based on the overall control program.

(Display control board 70)
Next, the display control board 70 will be described with reference to FIG. The display control board 70 is provided with a display control CPU (sub control means) 70a. A display control ROM 70b and a display control RAM 70c are connected to the display control CPU 70a. The first display device 17 and the second display device 71 are connected to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). A display control program for controlling the display contents of the first display device 17 and the second display device 71 is stored in the display control ROM 70b. The display control ROM 70b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, a hit determination means for determining whether or not it is a hit (big hit) triggered by winning at the start winning ports 29a and 33a, a win game to be given out from a plurality of types of win games (big hit game) Each function as a hit game determining means for determining the type of game (hit determination means) and a hit game giving means for giving the determined type of hit game after the end of the special figure variation display (after the end of the symbol variation effect) The control CPU 60a is provided. Further, the main control CPU 60a functions as a variation pattern determining means for determining one variation pattern from a plurality of variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b based on winning in the start winning ports 29a and 33a. I have. The main control CPU 60a functions as a probability change determining means for determining whether or not to give a probability change state in which the probability that a big hit will occur (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means becomes affirmative) is higher than usual. At the same time, it is configured to function as a probability change giving means for giving a probability change state after the big hit game ends. Here, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not to give the probability variation state only when a big hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative).

  Further, the main control CPU 60a, when a big win occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative), the winning rate improvement state in which the probability that the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 33a is high ( It functions as a winning rate improvement state determination means for determining whether or not to give a (variable state), and when giving a winning rate improvement state, a winning rate improvement state granting period for determining a period for giving a winning rate improvement state is determined. In addition to functioning as a determining means, it also functions as a shortened state giving means for giving a shortened state only during a period in which a winning rate improvement state determined after the end of the big hit game is given. As described above, the main control CPU 60a, when the winning determination is affirmative, determines a privilege state (probability changing state, changing state) that is advantageous to the player after the big winning game based on winning in the start winning opening 29a, 33a. It has a function as a privilege state determining means for determining whether to grant or not. Further, the main control RAM 60c is displayed while the first display device 17 is performing the symbol variation effect (that is, while the first and second special diagram indicators 61A and 61B are performing the special diagram variation display). It functions as a hold storage means capable of storing a plurality of acquired winning information as start hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first starting winning detection sensor 54 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the first display device 17 or the first special figure display 61A) is displayed. The first start winning detection sensor 55 detects the first hold storage means and the display means (the first display device 17 and the second special figure display 61B) that are stored as the one start hold information while the variable display is being performed. It functions as second hold storage means for storing winning information acquired as a trigger as second start hold information.

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

(Special drawing input process)
In the special figure input process, as shown in FIG. 14, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the first start winning opening 29a (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 54 corresponding to the first start winning opening 29a detects a pachinko ball has been input. And when the determination result of step A11 is negative, it transfers to step A15. If the determination result of step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result of step A12 is negative (that is, the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives the winning information (random number for determination per special figure, random value for determination of special figure, random value for determination of performance execution, random number for distribution of special figure, etc. Value) is read by the main control CPU 60a, and the winning information (random value) is stored in the first to fourth areas of the first start holding area in the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds as the first winning start hold information. Set (step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 33a. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 55 corresponding to the second start winning opening 33a detects a pachinko ball has been input. If the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special figure input process is terminated. If the determination result of step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number of 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result of step A16 is negative (that is, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is 4), the special figure input process is terminated.

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

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed in the special figure indicators 61A and 61B and the first display device 17, or whether or not the big hit game is being played. Determine (step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether the number of hold in the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). If the determination result of step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. The main control CPU 60a also stores the special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14) and stores the second special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. Figure start hold information (Random value for judgment per special figure, Random value for determining special figure, Random value for performance execution judgment and various random values such as random value for special pattern fluctuation pattern distribution) Obtained by the CPU 60a (step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires the second special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the second special figure start hold information, and then stores the second special figure start hold information stored second fastest in the second special figure storage area. 2. The special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the second special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The second special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored the fourth earliest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special figure. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the second special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special figure hold display section 62B so as to correspond to the number of holds of the second special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the second special figure start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 16, the main control CPU 60a stores the acquired special figure determination random number value in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit determination) is performed to determine whether or not the stored big hit determination value matches (step B22). If the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit changes (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 2) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped displayed on the second special symbol display 61B based on the acquired special figure determining random number value (Step B24). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state to “1” after the end of the big hit game when the symbol pattern is a big hit symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the main control CPU 60a is a jackpot symbol that does not impart a probability variation state. Set the probability variation flag to "0" Also, if the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a variable state, set the variable flag indicating the variable state to "1" after the jackpot game ends, and if the jackpot symbol does not give a variable state Set the variable flag to "0". The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. When the big hit symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special symbol variation pattern from the special symbol variation pattern for winning based on the value of the random number for special symbol variation pattern distribution ( Step B25).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the second special symbol display 50B as a final stop symbol (special stop symbol). 2) (step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment reach based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B29).

  If the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 50B. Is determined as the final stop symbol (special drawing 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for detachment based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B31).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 2) in steps B25, B29, and B31, outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating a special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the second special figure display 50B so as to start the second special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 2 designation command for instructing the special figure 2 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol on the basis of the fluctuation time set in the designated special figure fluctuation pattern. The display content of the display 61B is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information = 0), the number of holdings of the first special figure starting holding information is read (step B16), It is determined whether or not the number of holds in the figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the first special figure start holding information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure variation effect is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a obtains the value of the random number for special figure determination, the value of the random number for special figure determination, the value of the random number for performance execution determination, and the value of the random number for special figure variation pattern distribution (step B19) Next, a hit determination process is executed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired in response to the winning at the second start winning opening 33a is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired with the winning of 29a is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become. When the symbol variation effect based on the special symbol start hold information is executed, the symbol variation effect based on the special symbol start hold information is executed in the order in which the special symbol start hold information is stored in the main control RAM 60c. Also good. In other words, regardless of the type of the start winning opening that the pachinko ball has won (the first starting winning opening 29a and the second starting winning opening 33a), the special start starting hold acquired upon winning the starting winning opening 29a, 33a The symbol variation effect based on the special figure start hold information may be executed in the order in which the information is stored in the main control RAM 60c.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires the first special figure start hold information (random number) from the first special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored earliest is stored. The main control CPU 60a obtains a random number associated with the first special figure start hold information, and then stores the first special figure start hold information stored in the second special figure storage area in the second special figure storage area. One special figure start hold information (random number) is stored in the first special figure storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the first special figure start hold information (random number) in the third special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored third fastest is stored. The first special figure start hold information (random number) in the fourth special figure storage area in which the first special figure start hold information stored in the area is stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special feature. Store in the figure storage area. That is, the first special figure start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special figure hold display section 62A so as to correspond to the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired by the process of step B19, as shown in FIG. 17, the main control CPU 60a matches the acquired special figure determination random number value with the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not to perform (step B32). If the determination result of the big hit determination at step B32 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) that becomes the big hit symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special symbol display 61A based on the acquired special figure determining random number (Step B34). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol for each special figure 1, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. The jackpot symbol is determined by determining. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets a probability variation flag and a variation flag indicating the gaming state after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol after the big hit game. As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, since all the jackpot symbols are set to give the probability variation state and the variation state, the probability variation flag and the variation flag both end the jackpot game. It is set to “1” later. When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation pattern for winning based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution. (Step B35).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is negative (when it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs an effect execution determination (reach determination) for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect (reach determination) ( Step B37). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c during the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. If the determination result in step B37 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control CPU 60a uses the first special symbol display 50A as a final stop symbol (special feature). FIG. 1) is determined (step B38). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from among the special figure fluctuation patterns for loss reach based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution (step B39).

  In addition, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B37 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a does not display the fixed symbol displayed on the first special figure display 61A. Is determined as the final stop symbol (Special Fig. 1) (step B40). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation patterns for losing based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number (step B41).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 1) in steps B35, B39, and B41 outputs a predetermined control command to the overall control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display 50A so as to start the first special figure fluctuation display. Further, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure 1 designation command for instructing the special figure 1 as the final stop symbol. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control CPU 60a displays the determined final stop symbol based on the variation time set in the designated special figure variation pattern. The display content of the display 61A is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B17 is negative (if the number of first special figure start hold information hold = 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect? If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

(Overall control)
Next, processing executed by the overall control board 65 will be described. The overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 75, the sound control board 76, and the like. That is, the overall control CPU 65a functions as an effect execution control means for executing a symbol variation effect based on the determined variation pattern. The overall control CPU 65a functions as an operation direction determination unit that determines an operation direction when the hand (detected body) T is moved on the front side of the transparent plate 13a when a special figure suggesting effect described later is performed. And a function as a control means for controlling the display devices 17 and 71 so as to cause the first display device 17 and the second display device 71 to execute an effect based on the determination result of the operation direction determination means.

  Here, the effect patterns that can be selected by the overall control CPU 65a are classified for each special figure variation pattern as described above, and an effect pattern corresponding to the special figure variation pattern is selected. In addition, when the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the overall control CPU 65a displays each symbol for the final stop display on the first display device 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. The decoration of the columns 66a, 66b, 66c is determined. That is, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the overall control CPU 65a sets each symbol row 66a, 66b, The decoration drawing of 66c is determined.

  The overall control CPU 65a sets the probability variation flag and the variation flag based on the special figure 1 designation command and the special figure 2 designation command output from the main control CPU 60a. Specifically, when the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the probability variation state is given, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1”. ”And the probability variation flag is set to“ 0 ”when the jackpot symbol that does not give the probability variation state is supported. Further, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the variable state is given, a variable flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”. ”And the variable flag is set to“ 0 ”when it corresponds to a big hit symbol that does not give a variable state.

  Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol row 66a, 66b, 66c specified by the effect pattern, the decorative drawing designation command of each row is given to the first display device 17, the lamp control board 75, the sound control board 76, etc. Output. Specifically, the overall control CPU 65a starts measuring time by a timer means (not shown) at the same time when a special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and the left decoration at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of the left symbol row 66a. A figure designation command is output, a right decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the right design row 66c, and an interior decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the middle design row 66b.

  Further, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. Further, when the special figure variation pattern for reach deviation is instructed, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a deviation including a reach formation symbol. On the other hand, when a special figure variation pattern for detachment is instructed, the overall control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a detachment that does not include a reach formation symbol. When the overall control CPU 65a receives all symbol stop commands, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the commands to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 75, the sound control board 76, and the like.

(About display control)
When the display control board 70 receives a command from the overall control board 65, the display control board 70 controls the first display device 17 to execute the symbol variation effect with the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command. Then, the second display device 71 is controlled so as to execute an effect accompanying the symbol variation. Then, when the symbol stop command of each symbol row 66a, 66b, 66c is input, the display control CPU 70a displays the ornament designated by the ornament designation command at the effective stop position 68 of the corresponding symbol row 66a, 66b, 66c. Are temporarily stopped, and when all symbols stop command is input, the decorations instructed by the decoration drawing designation command are displayed on the first display device 17 at the effective stop position 68 of each symbol row 66a, 66b, 66c. Thus, the first display device 17 is controlled to end the symbol variation effect.

  Here, the content of the symbol variation effect executed by the first display device 17 is set according to a special symbol variation pattern designation command output from the main control CPU 60a or an effect pattern designation command output from the overall control CPU 65a. Thus, the main control CPU 60a and the overall control CPU 65a have a function as effect content determining means for determining the effect content specifying the content of the symbol variation effect.

(About specific suggestion effects during symbol changes)
The overall control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of suggested effect patterns that specify the display contents of the suggested effects displayed on the first display device 17 and the second display device 71 during the design variation effect. As shown in FIG. 18, in the suggestion effect pattern, the design change specific suggestion effect pattern NP1 for specifying the contents of the design change specific suggestion effect using the motion sensors 44 and 49 and the motion sensors 44 and 49 are not used. A non-specific suggestion effect pattern NP2 during design change that specifies the contents of the non-specific suggestion effect during design change is set. In addition, in each suggestive effect pattern NP1, NP2, a plurality of types having different backgrounds and characters displayed on the display units 17a, 71a are set. The overall control ROM 60b is configured to determine either the symbol changing specific suggested effect pattern NP1 or the symbol changing non-specific suggested effect pattern NP2 based on the change pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a. Yes.

  Here, the specific suggestion effect during symbol variation is that the reach effect is performed, the reach effect develops into a super reach effect, or the expectation degree of the possibility that a win display is displayed is from the non-specific suggestion effect during symbol change It is set as a production set high. Specifically, when the main control CPU 60a determines the normal reach deviation variation pattern P2 and the super reach deviation variation pattern P4, the overall control ROM 65b determines whether the symbol suggestion specific effect pattern NP1 is determined during the symbol variation. When the ratio of determining the specific suggestion effect pattern NP2 is high and the main control CPU 60a determines the fluctuation pattern P3 per normal reach and the fluctuation pattern P5 per super reach, the overall control ROM 65b determines the non-specific suggestion effect pattern NP2 during the symbol change. The ratio for determining the specific suggestive effect pattern NP1 during symbol variation is set to be higher than the ratio for performing. The ratio for determining the effect patterns NP1 and NP2 is set according to the number of determination value distributions used in the random number lottery for determining the effect patterns NP1 and NP2.

  When the overall control CPU 65a selects the symbol changing specific suggestion effect pattern NP1, the motion sensor 44 at the timing when the symbol changing specific indication effect NP1 specified by the symbol changing specific suggestion effect pattern NP1 is performed. , 49 is set to output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a) an operation detection valid command that validates the object detection over a predetermined time (valid period). In the display control board 70, when an operation detection valid command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the contents of the effect corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display corresponding to the effect pattern is displayed. It is configured to control the first display device 17 and the second display device 71 so as to execute the symbol variation effect with the contents. In the present embodiment, when the specific suggestion effect during the symbol variation is performed, hands are imitated on the first display unit 17a of the first display device 17 and the second display unit 71a of the second display device 71 as shown in FIG. The operation suggestion image 77 is displayed. The motion suggestion image 77 displays not only an image of a hand but also an image of an arrow that prompts the user to move the hand in the left-right direction and an image that simulates a timer that indicates an effective period (effective time). It is like that. Further, in the embodiment, only the second display portion 71 a is set so that the motion corresponding image 78 imitating the character that is the motif of the pachinko machine 10 is displayed in a state of being superimposed on the rear side of the motion suggestion image 77. The

  The overall control CPU 65a specifies a plurality of types of action effect patterns NP1-A, NP1-B for specifying the effect display contents after the display of the action suggestion image 77 when the design change specific suggestion effect pattern NP1 is selected. , NP1-C are set (see FIG. 19). Specifically, as the motion effect pattern, a left motion effect pattern NP1-A that can be selected when the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from left to right based on the detection order of the motion sensors 44 and 49. And the right action effect pattern NP1-B that can be selected when the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from right to left, and the hand T has not moved (if the motion sensors 44 and 49 are in the detection state). A non-operation effect pattern NP1-C that can be selected when the overall control CPU 65a determines. Further, in the effect display specified by the left action effect pattern NP1-A, the left common effect image in which the same image (the same background and characters are displayed) is displayed on the first display device 17 and the second display device 71. In the effect display specified by the right action effect pattern NP1-B, the same image (the same background and character is displayed) is displayed on the first display device 17 and the second display device 71. Common effect images are included. The left common effect image and the right common effect image are set to have different types. When the overall control CPU 65a selects any one of the left action effect pattern NP1-A, the right action effect pattern NP1-B, and the non-action effect pattern NP1-C, the overall control CPU 65a performs display control of the corresponding action effect pattern command. It outputs to the board | substrate 70 (display control CPU70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation effect pattern command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern is displayed. The first display device 17 and the second display device 71 are controlled so as to execute the symbol variation effect.

  The effect display (display contents) specified by the left motion effect pattern NP1-A moves the motion corresponding image 78 displayed on the second display portion 71a from the same left to the right as the motion direction of the hand T. After the display, the left common effect image is set to be displayed on the second display portion 71a. In addition, the effect display (display content) specified by the right action effect pattern NP1-B is the same as the action direction of the hand T from the right to the left in the action corresponding image 78 displayed on the second display portion 71a. After displaying to move, the right common effect image is set to be displayed on the second display portion 71a. The effect display (display contents) specified by the left action effect pattern NP1-A and the right action effect pattern NP1-B is displayed after the common effect image corresponding to the second display portion 71a is displayed. A common effect image corresponding to the part 17a is displayed. That is, when the left action effect pattern NP1-A and the right action effect pattern NP1-B are selected, the changed image is displayed in advance on the second display portion 71a before the image of the first display portion 17a changes. It can be suggested to the player. In the present embodiment, the motion-corresponding image 78 displayed on the second display portion 71a in the design change specific suggestion effect is an effect element that is moved in the same direction as the movement direction of the hand T by the overall control CPU 65a.

  The effect display (display contents) specified by the non-action effect pattern NP1-C is the same as the action-corresponding image 78 displayed on the second display unit 71a as it is during the effective period (effective time). It is set not to change. In addition, after the effective period (effective time) has elapsed, separate images different from the common effect image displayed when the left action effect pattern NP1-A and the right action effect pattern NP1-B are selected are first displayed. It is displayed on the part 17a and the second display part 71a. That is, when the player does not perform the operation of moving the hand T in the left-right direction on the front side of the transparent plate 13a and the overall control CPU 65a determines the non-operation effect pattern NP1-C, the first time after the expiration of the valid period. Unrelated images are displayed on the display unit 17a and the second display unit 71a.

(About specific suggestion effects for redrawing)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the overall control CPU 60a determines the re-lottery effect patterns D6, D7, D8, D9, the symbol rows 66a, 66b, 66c on the first display device 17 are effectively stopped. It is configured such that a specific suggestion effect for re-lottery can be performed in a state where a decoration drawing that is a temporary winning display is temporarily stopped at a position 68. In other words, the overall control CPU 60a makes the detection of the object by the motion sensors 44 and 49 effective for a predetermined time (effective period) at the timing of temporarily stopping the decorative drawing that is temporarily displayed at the effective stop position 68. The detection valid command is set to be output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation detection valid command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the contents of the effect corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display corresponding to the effect pattern is displayed. It is configured to control the first display device 17 so as to execute the symbol variation effect with the contents. In the present embodiment, in the re-lottery specific suggestion effect, as shown in FIG. 21, an operation simulating a hand at a position corresponding to the temporarily stopped middle symbol row 66 b in the first display unit 17 a of the first display device 17. A suggestion image 77 is displayed. Note that the motion suggestion image 77 includes not only the image of the hand but also the image of the arrow that prompts the hand to move in the left-right direction and the effective period (effective time), as in the case of the specific suggestion effect during symbol variation described above. An image simulating a timer or the like indicating is also displayed.

  With regard to a specific display example when the first re-lottery effect pattern D6, D8 is selected and the re-lottery specific suggestion effect is performed, [777] due to re-variation after the temporary hit display with the combination of [666]. In the case of a mode of changing to []. That is, in the re-lottery effect, [666] is temporarily stopped on the stop symbol effective line 69 in the first display device 17 as shown in FIG. At this time, the operation suggestion image 77 is displayed as the re-lottery specific suggestion effect, and it is suggested that there is a possibility that the re-lottery may be performed. While the operation suggestion image 77 is displayed on the first display portion 17a (until the effective period elapses), the player has performed an operation of moving the hand T in the left-right direction on the front side of the transparent plate 13a. When the overall control CPU 65a determines by the detection of the pair of motion sensors 44 and 49, the three decorative figures arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 are re-variable (horizontal scrolling) (FIG. 21B), and the stop symbol is displayed. The decoration drawing is confirmed and stopped at the combination of [777] on the effective line 69 (FIG. 21 (c)). In addition, in FIG.21 (b), the mode that the decoration drawing is fluctuate | varied with the arrow is represented.

  Further, in the specific suggestion effect for re-lottery, the overall control CPU 65a determines the movement direction of the hand T based on the detection order of the motion sensors 44 and 49, and is arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 in the same direction as the movement direction. The first display device 17 is controlled so as to change all the decorative drawings that are out. That is, when the second motion sensor 49 enters the detection state after the first motion sensor 44 enters the detection state, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from left to right, and the overall control CPU 65a Outputs a first movement direction designation command for designating the first movement direction from left to right to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a is arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 based on the first movement direction designation command. All decorative drawings that are present are displayed changing from left to right. On the other hand, when the first motion sensor 44 enters the detection state after the second motion sensor 49 enters the detection state, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from the right to the left, and performs the overall control. The CPU 65a outputs a second motion direction designation command for designating the second motion direction from right to left to the display control CPU 70a. The display control CPU 70a is arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 based on the second motion direction designation command. All the decorations that are displayed are displayed changing from right to left. Further, when neither of the pair of motion sensors 44 and 49 is in the detection state during the display of the motion suggestion image 77 or when only one of the motion sensors 44 and 49 is in the detection state, the overall control CPU 65a It is determined that the player has not performed an operation of moving the hand T in front of the transparent plate 13a, and the overall control CPU 65a does not output an operation direction designation command to the display control CPU 70a. Thus, when the operation direction designation command is not input to the display control CPU 70a, the display control CPU 70a performs a display effect corresponding to the case where the operation by the hand T is not performed. In the present embodiment, in the re-lottery specific suggestion effect, the decoration displayed on the first display unit 17a is an effect element that is moved in the same direction as the movement direction of the hand T by the overall control CPU 65a.

  Here, since the first re-lottery effect patterns D6 and D8 are effect patterns that can be determined when the probability variation big hit game is awarded, the display control CPU 70a to which the operation direction designation command has not been inputted is effective. After the elapse of the period, the symbol rows 66a, 66b, and 66c are re-varied in the vertical direction, and the decoration of “777” is aligned with the stop symbol effective line 69 to be confirmed and stopped. In the case where the movement direction designation command is not input, the re-lottery effect informs that the winning jackpot is an uncertain variable big hit by aligning and stopping the decoration of “666” with the stop symbol effective line 69. In addition, by performing a promotion effect in the jackpot effect during the jackpot game, it may be notified that the winning game is a promising jackpot game.

  As for a specific display example when the second re-lottery effect pattern D7, D9 is selected and the re-lottery specific suggestion effect is performed, it is also possible due to the re-variation after the temporary hit display with the combination of [666] [ 666], the different part from the case of the first re-drawing effect patterns D6 and D8 will be described in the case where the decorative drawing does not change. That is, in a state where the operation suggestion image 77 is displayed on the first display unit 17a, the overall control CPU 65a outputs the first output to the display control CPU 70a based on the detection order of the pair of motion sensors 44 and 49. Based on the 1 movement direction designation command and the 2nd movement direction designation command, the display control CPU 70a re-variates all decorations arranged on the stop pattern valid line 69 from the left to the right or from the right to the left. The decoration drawing is confirmed and stopped at the combination of [666] on the effective line 69 (FIG. 21 (d)). Further, since the second re-lottery effect patterns D7 and D9 are effect patterns that can be determined when the non-probability big hit game is awarded, the display control CPU 70a to which no operation direction designation command has been input is temporarily stopped. All the symbol rows 66a, 66b, 66c (decorative drawings) are fixed and stopped without fluctuation.

  In the re-lottery effect patterns D6, D7, D8, and D9, after the decorative drawing that is temporarily displayed is temporarily stopped, all the decorative drawings arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 are changed again (horizontal scrolling). A plurality of types in which the number of times of a series of temporary variation effect patterns for temporarily stopping the decoration is set. Then, in the overall control CPU 65a, when the re-lottery effect patterns D6, D7, D8, and D9 in which a plurality of temporary variation effect patterns are set are determined, the decoration drawing that is temporarily displayed on the first display unit 17a. Is temporarily stopped, the specific suggestion effect for re-lottery is performed, and the effect of re-varying all the decorative figures arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 according to the detection result of the motion sensors 44 and 49 is performed. In this way, the first display device 17 is controlled via the display control CPU 70a. For example, in the first re-lottery effect patterns D6 and D8 for deriving the effect result of “promotion”, when the temporary variation effect pattern is set to three times, in the first and second temporary variation effect patterns, whichever Or the decoration diagram does not change or changes to the decoration figure (even number) that becomes `` non-promotion '', the decoration figure changes to the decoration figure (odd number) that becomes `` promotion '' in the third temporary variation effect pattern, The result of promotion is derived. On the other hand, when the temporary variation effect pattern is set to three times in the second re-lottery effect patterns D7 and D9 for deriving the effect result of “non-promotion”, all the temporary variation effect patterns are decorated. Is not changed, or changes to a decoration figure (even number) that becomes “non-promotion”, so that a non-promotion effect result is finally derived.

(Regarding the action direction determination process for specific suggestion effects)
Next, with reference to FIG. 22, a description will be given of the operation direction determination processing of the symbol changing specific suggestion effect and the re-lottery specific suggestion effect executed by the overall control CPU 65a of the overall control board 65 based on the control program. This motion direction determination process is performed during the symbol variation effect using the motion sensors 44 and 49 and during the symbol variation specific suggestion effect, and during the re-lottery effect, the re-lottery specific suggestion effect. In FIG. 5, the movement direction of the hand T is determined based on the detection order of both the motion sensors 44 and 49. The motion direction determination process is repeated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment) during the valid period (valid time).

  It is determined whether or not the first motion sensor 44 is in the detection state (ON) in a state where the operation suggestion image 77 is displayed on the first display unit 17a (step C11). If the determination result in step C11 is negative, it is determined that the first motion sensor 44 has not detected the hand T, the process proceeds to step C12, and the second motion sensor 49 is in a detection state (ON). Determine whether. If the determination result in step C12 is negative, it is assumed that the second motion sensor 49 has not detected the hand T, and the overall control CPU 65a outputs the overall control RAM 65c in step C13 without outputting a control command. The various information stored in is reset and the processing is terminated.

  If the determination result in step C11 is affirmative, it is determined that the first motion sensor 44 has detected the hand T, the process proceeds to step C14, and the second motion sensor 49 detects within a predetermined time set in advance. It is determined whether or not the state (ON) has been reached. If the determination result in step C14 is affirmative, it is assumed that the second motion sensor 49 has detected the hand T, and the overall control CPU 65a determines that the player moves the hand T from the left to the right on the front side of the transparent plate 13a. It is determined that the movement operation has been performed, and information on the first movement direction that identifies the movement is stored in the overall control RAM 65c (step C15). Then, the process proceeds to step C16, and the overall control CPU 65a outputs a first operation direction designation command to the display control CPU 70a. Also, various information (first operation direction) stored in the overall control RAM 65c in step C13 is reset, and the process ends.

  If the determination result in step C14 is negative, it is determined that the second motion sensor 49 has not detected the hand T, and the overall control CPU 65a stores the control command in the overall control RAM 65c in step C13 without outputting a control command. The various information is reset and the process is terminated.

  If the determination result is affirmative in step C12 after step C11 is denied, it is determined that the second motion sensor 49 has detected the hand T, the process proceeds to step C17, and within a preset specified time. Whether or not the first motion sensor 44 is in the detection state (ON) is determined. If the determination result in step C17 is affirmative, it is assumed that the first motion sensor 44 has detected the hand T, and the overall control CPU 65a determines that the player moves the hand T from the right to the left in front of the transparent plate 13a. It is determined that the movement operation has been performed, and information on the second movement direction that identifies the movement is stored in the overall control RAM 65c (step C18). Then, the process proceeds to step C19, and the overall control CPU 65a outputs a second operation direction designation command to the display control CPU 70a. In step C13, various information (second operation direction) stored in the overall control RAM 65c is reset, and the process ends.

  If the determination result in step C17 is negative, it is assumed that the first motion sensor 44 has not detected the hand T, and the overall control CPU 65a stores the control command in the overall control RAM 65c in step C13 without outputting a control command. The various information is reset and the process is terminated.

  In the operation direction determination process, when both motion sensors 44 and 49 are in a detection state and the overall control CPU outputs a first operation direction designation command or a second operation direction designation command to the display control CPU 70a, The operation direction determination process is set to end without waiting for the expiration of the valid period.

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

  When a player operates an operation lever 16 a of the operation handle 16 provided on the front surface side of the front frame 13, a pachinko ball launched from the hitting ball launching device is launched into the game area 24. When a pachinko ball flowing down the game area 24 wins the start winning opening 29a, 33a, the main control CPU 60a acquires various information (various random number information) triggered by the ball detection of the start winning detection sensors 54, 55. Based on the acquired information, a lottery per special drawing (winning determination) is performed. Then, based on the result of lottery per special figure, a special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by random number lottery, and when a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the decided special figure fluctuation pattern is input to the overall control CPU 65a, The overall control CPU 65a determines one effect pattern from among the corresponding types of effect patterns by random lottery. Then, the overall control CPU 65a controls the first display device 17 based on the determined effect pattern, whereby the symbol change effect is executed on the first display device 17. Further, the overall control CPU 65a controls the second display device 71 based on the determined effect pattern, so that the second display device 71 executes the effect accompanying the symbol variation.

  When the overall control CPU 65a determines the symbol change specific suggestion effect pattern NP1 that specifies the symbol change specific suggestion effect as the suggestion effect to be performed during the symbol change effect, the overall control CPU 60a performs the suggestion effect at the timing of performing the suggestion effect. An operation detection valid command for validating the object detection by the motion sensors 44 and 49 for a predetermined time (valid period) is output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). When the operation detection valid command is input to the display control board 70, the first display unit 17a of the first display device 17 and the second display unit 71a of the second display device 71 are respectively shown in FIG. In addition, the operation suggestion image 77 imitating the hand is displayed, and the display devices 17 and 71 are controlled so that the operation corresponding image 78 is also displayed on the second display portion 71a.

  The overall control CPU 65a determines whether or not the player has operated the hand T on the front side of the transparent plate 13a during the effective period and the operation direction from the detection results of the motion sensors 44 and 49 (operation direction). Determination process). That is, when the second motion sensor 49 enters the detection state after the first motion sensor 44 enters the detection state, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from left to right and determines the left operation effect pattern. NP1-A is determined, and an action effect pattern command for specifying the left action effect pattern NP1-A is output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). And on the display control board 70, after displaying the motion corresponding image 78 currently displayed on the said 2nd display part 71a so that it may move from the left same as the motion direction of the hand T, the common effect image for left is made into 2nd. The second display device 71 is controlled to display on the display unit 71a. The display control board 70 controls the first display device 17 so that the left common effect image is displayed on the first display unit 17a after the left common effect image is displayed on the second display unit 71a. If the first motion sensor 44 enters the detection state after the second motion sensor 49 enters the detection state during the effective period, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from right to left. Then, the right action effect pattern NP1-B is determined, and an action effect pattern command for specifying the right action effect pattern NP1-B is output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). The display control board 70 displays the motion corresponding image 78 displayed on the second display portion 71a so as to move from the right to the left in the same direction as the movement direction of the hand T, and then displays the right common effect image. The second display device 71 is controlled to display on the two display section 71a. The display control board 70 controls the first display device 17 to display the right common effect image on the first display unit 17a after the right common effect image is displayed on the second display unit 71a. .

  In the case where both the motion sensors 44 and 49 are not in the detection state or only one of them is in the detection state during the effective period, the overall control CPU 65a allows the player to move the transparent plate 13a. It is determined that the operation of moving the hand T on the front side is not performed, the non-action effect pattern NP1-C is determined, and an operation effect pattern command for specifying the non-action effect pattern NP1-C is displayed on the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). ). The display control board 70 is not related to the first display unit 17a and the second display unit 71a after the expiration of the effective period without moving the motion corresponding image 78 displayed on the second display unit 71a. The first display device 17 and the second display device 71 are controlled to display an image.

  That is, while the motion suggestion image 77 is displayed on the first display portion 17a, the player moves the hand T in the left-right direction on the front side of the transparent plate 13a, so that the player Before the image on the display unit 17a changes, it can be known from the image displayed on the second display unit 71a what the image will be. Therefore, the player knows in advance by the display on the second display 71a that the reach effect is performed by the suggestion effect, the reach effect is developed into a super reach effect, or that a win display may be displayed. be able to.

  Next, when the main control CPU 60a determines the re-lottery variation patterns P6 and P7 in response to winning at the start winning ports 29a and 33a, the overall control CPU 65a determines the first re-lottery effect patterns D6 and D8. The specific indication effect for re-lottery shown in FIG. 21 is executed by the first display device 17. That is, the overall control CPU 60a detects the object by the motion sensors 44 and 49 for a predetermined time (effective period) at the timing of temporarily stopping the decorative figure (second identification symbol) that is temporarily displayed at the effective stop position 68. An operation detection valid command that is valid over a period of time is output to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control board 70, when an operation detection valid command is input, as shown in FIG. 21A, the display control board 70 corresponds to the temporarily stopped middle symbol row 66b in the first display unit 17a of the first display device 17. The first display device 17 is controlled so that the motion suggestion image 77 imitating a hand is displayed at the position.

  The overall control CPU 65a, based on the change in the detection state of the motion sensors 44 and 49 during the effective period and the detection order, in the same way as in the case of the specific suggestion effect during symbol variation described above, the player moves the front side of the transparent plate 13a. Then, it is determined whether or not the operation of moving the hand T in the left-right direction is performed, and the operation direction is determined (operation direction determination processing). That is, when the second motion sensor 49 enters the detection state after the first motion sensor 44 enters the detection state, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from left to right, and the overall control CPU 65a The first movement direction designation command is output to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a displays all the decorative figures arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 from left to right based on the first movement direction designation command. The first display device 17 is controlled so as to perform the above (FIG. 21B). Then, the display control CPU 70a performs the final stop so that the decorative figure (first identification symbol) that is displayed per fixed symbol based on the input of all symbol stop commands is fixedly stopped at the effective stop position of each symbol row 66a, 66b, 66c. One display device 17 is controlled (FIG. 21 (c)).

  If the first motion sensor 44 enters the detection state after the second motion sensor 49 enters the detection state during the effective period, the overall control CPU 65a determines that the hand T has moved from right to left. Then, the overall control CPU 65a outputs a second movement direction designation command to the display control CPU 70a, and the display control CPU 70a displays all the decorations arranged on the stop symbol effective line 69 based on the second movement direction designation command. The first display device 17 is controlled to perform a display that varies from right to left. Then, the display control CPU 70a performs the final stop so that the decorative figure (first identification symbol) that is displayed per fixed symbol based on the input of all symbol stop commands is fixedly stopped at the effective stop position of each symbol row 66a, 66b, 66c. 1 The display device 17 is controlled. Further, when neither of the pair of motion sensors 44 and 49 is in the detection state during the display of the motion suggestion image 77 or when only one of the motion sensors 44 and 49 is in the detection state, the overall control CPU 65a It is determined that the player has not performed an operation of moving the hand T in front of the transparent plate 13a, and the overall control CPU 65a does not output a control command to the display control CPU 70a. Then, the display control CPU 70a controls the first display device 17 to perform a display effect corresponding to the case where the operation direction designation command is not input.

  According to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the overall control CPU 65a determines the operation direction in which the player moves the hand T on the front side of the transparent plate 13a according to the change state of the detection states of the two motion sensors 44 and 49, Since the effect (display) based on the determination result is configured to be performed by the first display device 17 or the second display device 71, the effect (display) related to the operation direction of the hand T can be performed. In other words, since the effect that changes depending on the direction of movement in which the player moves the hand T in the detection area of the motion sensors 44 and 49 can be made different, the player's willingness to participate in the game can be increased. In addition, since the motion corresponding image 78 and the decoration drawing move in the same direction as the motion direction of the hand T, the player can feel that he / she is participating in the game, and further increase the willingness to participate in the game. Can do. Furthermore, since the presentation can be changed according to the operation performed by the player, the interest of the game can be improved.

  Since the detection areas of the first motion sensor 44 and the second motion sensor 49 are set so that the hand T moved in the left-right direction on the front side of the transparent plate 13a can be detected independently as shown in FIG. The moving direction of the hand T can be reliably determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the two motion sensors 44 and 49 are provided on the left and right edges of the window 26a in the frame-shaped decorative body 26 that faces the front side of the first display portion 17a that the player pays attention to. Is provided in an exposed state, so that the player can easily recognize the detection area from the position of the motion sensor 44, 49, and the motion sensor 44, 49 detects the motion T by appropriately operating the hand T in the detection area. Can be made. That is, when the motion suggestion image 77 that prompts the player to move the hand T is displayed on the first display portion 17a, the player is confused about where to move the hand T. It is possible to prevent the player from participating in the game after the effective period has elapsed.

(Example of change)
The present application is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and other configurations can be appropriately employed.
(1) In the embodiment, the two motion sensors are arranged apart from each other right and left, but they are arranged apart from each other vertically or obliquely to detect the vertical movement or diagonal movement of the hand (detected object). You may make it obtain. Further, the paired motion sensors may be arranged separately from each other in the left-right, up-down, and diagonal directions, and the motion sensors to be used may be different depending on the effect to be performed. For example, a pair that is separated from each other in the left-right direction is a first motion sensor pair, a pair that is separated vertically is a second motion sensor pair, and a pair that is separated obliquely is a third motion sensor. In the case of a pair, the first motion sensor pair is used for the design change during design change that suggests that the reach production is performed, and the second motion is used for the design suggestion during the design change that suggests that the super reach production is performed. The third motion sensor pair can be used in a specific suggestion effect during symbol variation that suggests that a win display may be displayed using the sensor pair. In addition, as to the direction in which the hand moves, it is only necessary to display the direction of movement with characters on the arrow or voice displayed together with the motion suggestion image or on the first display unit.
(2) In the embodiment, the movement direction of the hand (detected object) is determined based on the detection order of the two motion sensors. However, three or more motion sensors are provided, and the detection order and detection of these motion sensors are provided. Different effects may be performed depending on the number. For example, when three motion sensors are used, if the detection order is the first motion sensor → second motion sensor → third motion sensor, the first effect is performed, and the detection order is third motion sensor → second motion sensor → In the case of the first motion sensor, the second effect is performed, and when only the first motion sensor and the second motion sensor are in the detection state, the third effect is performed, and only the second motion sensor and the third motion sensor are in the detection state. In such a case, by performing a different effect depending on the combination of the detection order and the number of detections of a plurality of motion sensors, such as performing a fourth effect, the variation of effects can be increased and the entertainment of the game can be improved.

(3) In the embodiment, the effect element such as the image or the decoration drawing is moved in the same direction as the movement direction of the hand (detected object) determined by the detection order of the motion sensor. Based on the random number acquired at the time of winning a prize, the moving direction of the production element is determined by random lottery, and only when the hand (detected object) moves in the same direction as the determined moving direction, the hand (detected object) The effect element may be moved in the same direction as the operation direction. When the determined direction of movement of the effect element is different from the movement direction of the hand (detected body), the effect element may be moved in the determined movement direction or may be displayed without moving. In addition, when the moving direction of the effect element is determined in advance, the moving direction may be suggested by an arrow displayed on the first display unit or the second display unit.
(4) The suggestion effect using the motion sensor is a pseudo-continuous effect in which temporary stop and re-variation are executed a predetermined number of times between the start of change of the decoration drawing and the stop of change (definite stop), and the change stop from the start of change of decoration illustration This can be used for a continuous notice effect (pre-read notice effect) or the like that allows a variable cycle with one time to be executed continuously a plurality of times.
(5) An effect using a motion sensor can be used as a promotion effect during a big hit game. For example, it is notified that a non-probable big hit game is awarded in the symbol variation effect (a hit display with an even number of decorative drawings), and a probable big hit game is given by a promotion effect using a motion sensor in a predetermined round in the big hit game May be notified.
(6) In the embodiment, the display device is mentioned as the effect means. However, as the effect means, a movable effect device including a movable body operable by the drive means, a lamp device, and a speaker can be used. That is, a configuration in which the movable body of the movable effect device is operated, the light emitter of the lamp device is emitted, or the sound is generated from the speaker in accordance with the movement direction of the hand (detected body) determined by the overall control CPU. Can be adopted. That is, when the movable effect device is used as effect means, the movable body is an effect element.

(7) In the embodiment, when the general control CPU determines that the player has moved his / her hand while the motion suggestion image is displayed, an effect of moving the image or decoration immediately is performed. When the operation is determined, a value “1” indicating that an effect accompanying the operation is executed is set in the operation processing flag stored in a predetermined storage area of the overall control RAM, and another opportunity (by the timer) After the set time or when a specific variation pattern is determined), the production means may execute an effect accompanying the operation with reference to the value of the operation processing flag.
(8) In the embodiment, the movement direction of the hand (detected object) is determined, but the operation speed of the hand (detected object) is determined from the difference in timing when the plurality of motion sensors are in the detection state, A configuration in which different effects are performed according to the operation speed may be employed. Specifically, the time difference from when one motion sensor is in a detection state until the other motion sensor is in a detection state is measured by a time measuring means such as a timer, and the control means is based on the measurement result of this time measuring means. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the operating speed of the hand (detected body) is determined (determined based on the time difference or the like) and different effects are performed according to the determination result. For example, a first operation speed effect pattern that can be determined when the operation speed is low in the overall control ROM (the time difference of the time measuring means is large) and the second operation speed is high (the time difference of the time measuring means is small). A second motion speed effect pattern that can be determined in the case of motion speed is set, and the overall control CPU determines that the motion speed of the hand (detected object) is the first motion speed based on the measurement result of the time measuring means. When the determination is made, an effect based on the first operation speed effect pattern is performed, and the overall control CPU determines that the operation speed of the hand (detected body) is the second operation speed based on the measurement result of the time measuring means. An effect based on the second operation speed effect pattern may be performed. Note that the operation speed (time difference measured by the time measuring means) is not limited to being determined in two stages, but may be determined in three or more stages.
As an effect performed by determining the operation speed, specifically, an image of a vehicle such as an automobile or a motorcycle is displayed on the display device, and when the first operation speed is determined, the vehicle is displayed so as to move slowly. However, when it is determined to be the second operation speed, it may be possible to display the vehicle so as to move faster. Also, an image of a ball game such as table tennis or tennis is displayed on the display device, and when it is determined as the first motion speed, the ball hit is displayed as a weak ball (the ball moves slowly) and determined as the second motion speed. In such a case, the hit ball may be displayed as a strong hit ball (the ball moves fast). That is, it is possible to produce an effect in which the speed and strength change according to the determined (measured) operation speed. When the movable effect device is used as the effect means, the drive means (motor or the like) that drives the movable body is controlled so as to vary the operation speed of the movable body according to the determined (measured) operation speed. You can do it.
(9) In the embodiment, in the normal symbol variation effect, the symbol string is varied in the vertical direction, and in the special suggestion effect for re-lotting, on the stop symbol effective line so as to correspond to the movement direction of the hand in the motion sensor. All the decorative drawings arranged are changed (moved) in the horizontal direction, but the symbol rows are arranged in the vertical direction, and the symbol rows are changed in the horizontal direction in the normal symbol change effect. May be. That is, all the symbol sequences temporarily stopped by the re-lottery effect may be changed again in the direction along the normal change direction.
(10) In the embodiment, when the general control CPU (control means) determines that the player has performed a hand action based on the detection result of the motion sensor in the re-drawing specific suggestion effect, All the decorations lined up in line are changed (moved) at the same time, but every time the motion sensor detects the movement of the hand, the decorative figures lined up on the stop symbol effective line are changed (moved) one by one. You may make it do. That is, as the re-lottery effect pattern, an individual symbol variation effect pattern that changes the decorations one by one is set apart from all the symbol variation effect patterns that change all the ornaments simultaneously, and the individual symbol variation effect pattern is determined. In this case, the overall control CPU (control means) may control the first display device so that the decoration drawing is changed one by one every time the motion sensor detects the hand movement during the effective period.

(11) In the embodiment, a first start winning opening that allows a game ball to win with a certain probability and a second start winning opening that can change the winning probability of the game ball are provided as start winning means, and each start winning opening is provided. Although the detection means is provided for each and the winning of the game ball is individually detected, the winning detection means of the first and second start winning openings may be made common. In other words, it may be configured not to distinguish between winning in the first start winning opening and winning in the second starting winning opening.
(12) In the embodiment, all or part of the functions of the main control means (main control CPU) may be provided by the sub-control means (overall control CPU). A part may be provided in the main control means. In the embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (overall control board) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the main control unit and the sub control unit in the embodiment may be provided in a control unit (CPU) provided on a single control board. Furthermore, a separate control board may be provided, and all or part of the functions of the main control means and sub-control means of the embodiment may be provided in another control means.
(13) In the embodiment, the display control means (display control CPU) may be provided with all or a part of the functions provided in the overall control means (overall control CPU). The overall control means may be provided in whole or in part. In the embodiment, the overall control board (overall control CPU) and the display control board (display control CPU) are separately provided. However, a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the overall control unit and the display control unit in the embodiment may be provided in a control unit (CPU) provided on a single control board. Similarly, the overall control unit can also be used for the lamp control unit that performs light emission control and the sound control unit that performs sound output control.
(14) The gaming machine is not limited to a pachinko machine, and may be various other gaming machines such as an arrangement ball machine, a slot machine using a pachinko ball or a coin.

(15) The slot machine, when the player operates the predetermined start operation means, starts to change the plurality of rotating bodies arranged with symbols, and makes a pass / fail judgment related to the success / failure of the variable game. A gaming machine configured to execute a symbol stop control based on determination of success / failure in response to an operation of a predetermined stop operation means, and to be given a gaming profit by a combination of symbols stopped, such a slot machine In the case of using a display device, the configuration of the embodiment can be adopted.
Here, a more specific configuration of the slot machine will be described. In a symbol display device having a plurality of reels (rotating bodies) in which a plurality of symbols as identification information is displayed on the outer periphery, the symbols are displayed on a plurality of reels. A game for acquiring a predetermined number of pachinko balls and medals is performed by aligning the symbols on the active line. That is, in the slot machine, the rotation of the reel is started by the operation of the start lever, the rotation of the reel is stopped according to the timing when the stop button corresponding to each reel is operated, and the rotation of all the reels (symbol fluctuation). In accordance with the display result derived when stopping (a predetermined pattern is aligned on the active line, etc.), a winning is generated after the end of the effect accompanying the symbol variation. In the slot machine, various special game states are awarded by winning.
