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

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

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

  In addition, as a result of the special figure variation display performed in the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B, the display device 17 displays a combination of decorative symbols according to the displayed special figure. The That is, the special figure displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B and the symbol combination of the decorative drawing displayed on the display device 17 correspond to each other, and the symbol combination effect ends. Then, the special figure is fixed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B, and the decorative figure is fixed and displayed on the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c of the display device 17. It has become. In addition, the symbol combination of the decorative drawing with respect to the special drawing is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination with one decorative drawing is selected from among the symbol combinations with a plurality of decorative drawings for one special drawing. Yes.

Specifically, in the first privilege gaming state, the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the special winning opening 41 can be increased by changing the probability per special figure from a low probability to a high probability. In the following description, the first privilege gaming state is referred to as a “probable change state” for convenience.

  The probability variation function is a probability variation state in which the jackpot lottery probability (hit probability) is changed from a low probability (164/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (1010/65536 in the embodiment) after the end of the jackpot game (hit game). It is a function that can be given. Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. The low probability and the high probability are examples, and the present invention is not limited to this. In the embodiment, when the probability variation state is given, the probability variation state is continuously given until the symbol combination effect (special figure variation display) is executed a predetermined number of times (specified number) after the big hit game is finished. (See FIG. 3). In this way, when a probability variation state is given, the probability of winning a big hit fluctuates with a high probability and it is easy for a jackpot to occur.Therefore, the probability variation state is advantageous to the player, and the player will become a probability variation big hit. Playing games while expecting. Note that the period during which the probability variation state is given (hereinafter, the number of variations of the symbol combination effect (special variation variation display) in which the probability variation state continues is referred to as the probability variation number) is not limited to the above. For example, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the big hit game is generated.

  Here, as will be described later, when the probability change state is given after the big hit game ends, “1” is set to the probability change flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the probability change state is not given. The probability variation flag is set to “0”. In the configuration in which the number of times of probability variation is set to the specified number as in the embodiment, the number of times of probability variation is set in the probability variation number counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the counter is set for each symbol combination effect (for each special figure variation display). When the value is subtracted by 1 and becomes “0”, the probability variation flag is set to “0”.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 32 increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. In other words, the winning rate improvement state is a state in which the ratio determined to be per unit time per unit time is improved in the per unit determination made in accordance with the detection of the gate sensor SE5. 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 start opening / closing member 34 that opens the second start winning opening 32, the chance of winning the pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 32 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 start opening / closing member 34 for opening the second start winning opening 32 once per normal figure, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening opening / closing member 34. In addition, it can be realized by increasing the number of times of opening / closing member 34 for starting, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state in the example is set by combining the above (1) to (3). In addition, a state where the variable state is not assigned is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 32 is improved.

  In the short state of the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal figure change display performed in the normal figure display unit 55 after the big hit game is ended is shortened, and the probability per universal figure is low (in the embodiment, 16384/65536). This is a function of changing from high to high probability (in the embodiment, 65535/65536). It should be noted that the interval from the time when the normal map is displayed in a fixed stop until the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval) is set to 500 ms. In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second starting winning port 32 per one time is set, and the winning after the start opening / closing member 34 is opened is set. When the number reaches the upper limit number of winnings, the opening / closing operation of the start opening / closing member 34 is forcibly terminated and closed.

  Here, the embodiment is configured such that the period during which the variable state is given (hereinafter referred to as the number of variable times) is changed according to the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is won in the big hit. ing. Specifically, if the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is a predetermined probability variation symbol (Symbol A and Symbol c, which will be described later in the embodiment), 200 times after the jackpot game is over. Until the symbol combination effect (the total number of the 1st special figure fluctuation display and the 2nd special figure fluctuation display) is executed, it is set so that the variable state is given (number of variable times = 200 times), and the jackpot symbol When the type of (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) is a predetermined probability variation symbol (design d which will be described later in the embodiment), 100 symbol combination effects (first special symbol variation display) after the end of the big hit game And the total number of times of the second special figure variation display) is executed, the variable state is set to be given (variable number of times = 100), and the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) When the type is a predetermined non-variable symbol (symbol B and symbol e described later in the embodiment) In addition, until the symbol combination effect (the total number of the first special figure variation display and the second special figure variation display) is executed 100 times, the variable state is set to be given (the number of variable times) = 100 times). That is, in the embodiment, when the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished, the number of times of change is given 200 times or 100 times, and when the probability change state is not given after the big hit game is finished, the number of times of change of 100 times is given. It is set to be granted.

  Here, as described later, when the variable state is given after the end of the big hit game, “1” is set to the variable flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the variable state is given. If not, the variable flag is set to “0”. Further, the number of times of change is set in a change number of times counter set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c. "", The variable flag is set to "0".

  In the pachinko machine 10 having the probability changing function and the variable function, a gaming state in which neither the probability changing state nor the variable state is given as a gaming state having different control conditions in the pachinko machine 10 (non-probable / non-variable). State (i.e., normal state), a gaming state in which a probabilistic state is not granted but a shortage state is given (non-probable / variable state), a gaming state in which a probable state is given but no shortage state is given (probability change) -Four types of game states (probability variation / shortening state) to which both a non-variable state and a probability variation state and a shortage state are assigned can be set. And in the pachinko machine 10 of an Example, it is comprised so that three types of game states except a probability change and a non-variable short state can be changed with the kind of jackpot game provided. In the embodiment, two kinds of game states, a probability change / short change state and a non-probability change / short change state, are set as special game states that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60). In the embodiment, the big hit state in which the big hit game is being executed is a special game state that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60).

The type of jackpot game to be given after the end is specified. That is, the special figure determining random number functions as a random number for determining the type of winning game (big hit game).

  In addition, the random number for performance execution determination suggests the possibility that a win display is displayed when the determination result in the above-mentioned special figure hit determination is negative (in the case of failure to win a big hit game). This is a random number used in the performance execution determination (reach determination) as to whether or not to perform the performance. In the embodiment, 239 kinds of integer values from “0” to “238” are set as random numbers for effect execution determination, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Here, as an effect suggesting the possibility of a winning display being displayed, each design in the reach effect that is performed by the reach display that is displayed in the process of the symbol variation on the display device 17 or in one symbol combination effect.

The main control CPU 60a acquires each stored random number at the same timing. Here, each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31 is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 32. The main control CPU 60a acquires a random number corresponding to the winning timing of each start winning opening 31, 32.

  The main control CPU 60a is set to acquire various random numbers as passage detection information triggered by the pachinko ball passing through the gate portion 48 (more specifically, when the gate sensor SE5 detects the pachinko ball). ing. Here, various random numbers such as a random number for determining a normal figure and a random number for determining a normal pattern are set as the random number that the main control CPU 60a acquires upon detection of the gate sensor SE5. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these random number values at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated random number values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the values before the update, thereby A random number is acquired according to the timing at which the detection signal of the sensor SE5 is input to the main control CPU 60a. 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.

  Further, passage detection information (various random values) acquired when the pachinko ball passes through the gate sensor SE5 is temporarily stored in a predetermined map storage area (storage area) of the main control RAM 60c as map start hold information. It is configured to be stored in memory. The general-purpose map storage area is stored in the main control RAM 60c in the order in which it is stored in the main control RAM 60c. The normal start suspension information is read by the main control CPU 60a in order.

  The random number for determining a normal figure is a random number used for determining whether to open the second start winning opening 32 (per normal figure) as a result of the fluctuation of the normal figure. In the embodiment, 65536 integer values of “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common map, and are updated one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The random number for allocating a general pattern variation is a random number used for determining a general pattern variation pattern that defines a variation time of a general variation in a general variation display.

The main control CPU 60a obtains a hit determination random number, a normal variation pattern distribution random number, and the like) at the same timing.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a jackpot determination value indicating that a jackpot game is generated as a result of the symbol combination effect. The jackpot determination value is a determination value used for determining whether or not to generate a jackpot game using the determination random number per special figure (determination per special figure). A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set for the big hit determination value differs depending on whether or not the above-described probability variation state is given at the time of performing the special figure determination. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state (1010 in the embodiment) is larger than the number of jackpot determination values set in the non-probability variation state (164 in the embodiment). Many are set. In other words, by increasing the number of jackpot determination values set in the probability variation state, a jackpot game is likely to occur.

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

  The main control ROM 60b stores an effect execution determination value (reach determination value). The effect execution determination value is an effect execution determination (reach lottery) as to whether or not to execute a reach effect that suggests a possibility that a win display is displayed on the display device 17 when the result of determination per special figure is negative. This is a determination value to be used, and is determined from a total of 239 different integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for determining execution execution. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines that the effect of the reach effect that will eventually be lost is executed when the value of the acquired effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value. It has become. Here, the number of determination values set for the effect execution determination value differs depending on the gaming state (probability change state or variable state) at the time of performing the effect execution determination. Specifically, the number of performance execution determination values set in the non-variable state in which the variable state is not given is set to be larger than in the case where the variable state is given. That is, in the variable state, the reach effect is less likely to occur than in the non-variable state.

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

  As the special figure fluctuation pattern, when the result of determination per special figure is negative, the main control CPU 60a can select the special figure fluctuation pattern for detachment, and the reach special figure fluctuation without reach for the normal detachment without the reach effect is performed. There are provided a pattern, a normal reach deviation special map fluctuation pattern for a reach deviation where a reach effect is performed, and a super reach deviation special map fluctuation pattern. Normally, the special figure fluctuation pattern for deviation is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the production execution determination is negative, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for deviation is the result of the production execution judgment. This is a special figure variation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a in the case of affirmation. It should be noted that a plurality of different types of effect contents to be specified are set for each of the non-reach special map fluctuation pattern, the normal reach off-going special figure fluctuation pattern, and the super-reach off special figure fluctuation pattern. Further, as a special figure fluctuation pattern, a special figure fluctuation pattern per normal reach in which a reach effect is performed, a super reach heat, as a special figure fluctuation pattern for hitting that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the judgment per special figure is affirmative Special map variation pattern is set. In addition, for each of the special map variation pattern per normal reach and the special map variation pattern per super reach, a plurality of types with different specified effects are set.

  Here, the reach effect is an effect that is performed after the reach display is displayed in the symbol combination effect performed on the display device 17 until the symbol combination of the decorative drawing that is a big hit or miss is stopped and displayed. . In addition, the reach production includes a normal reach production and a super reach production with different variation times of the symbol combination production, and a special figure variation pattern corresponding to each reach production is set. The variation time becomes longer in the order of the normal reach production and the super reach production. Further, the variation time of the symbol combination effect of the special symbol variation pattern in which the reach effect is not performed is set shorter than the variation time of the symbol combination effect of the special symbol variation pattern in which the normal reach effect is performed.

  In the super reach production, there is also set a type for performing a turn production such as re-variation or re-lottery during the symbol combination production. Re-variation is reached by the effective decoration (effective production symbol) stopped at the combination symbol position L in the left symbol row 26a and the effective decoration figure (effective production symbol) stopped at the combination symbol position R in the right symbol row 26c. In the effect mode in which the speed of the decorative drawing in the middle symbol row 26b is slowed down in the displayed state to make it appear to stop on the combination symbol position C that has been reached, and then the speed is stopped to change again. is there. On the other hand, the re-lottery is a temporary stoppage display (temporary stop display) of a temporary big win decoration (big hit effect design) with a combination of the same effective decoration (effective effect design) on the combination symbol positions L, C, and R. In other words, the final big hit decoration drawing is re-variable and the final big hit decoration drawing is confirmed and stopped.

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

  In addition, the main control ROM 60b stores a normal figure hit determination value indicating that a normal figure hit is generated as a result of the normal figure change effect. The determination value per universal figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not it is per universal figure (determination per universal figure) using the random number for determination per universal figure, and “0” that can be taken as a random number for determination per universal figure. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from all 65536 integers up to “65535”. Here, the number of determination values set differs depending on whether or not the above-described shortage state is given at the time of determining the normal map. Specifically, the number of universal figure determination values set in the variable speed state (65535 in the embodiment) is the number of universal map determination values set in the non-variable state (example). In this case, more than 16384) are set. In other words, by increasing the number of normal maps set in the variable state, it is easy to generate a common map hit.

  In the main control ROM 60b, a plurality of types of common map variation patterns are stored, and general map variation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to the respective general map variation patterns. Here, the general map variation pattern specifies the fluctuation time of the general map variation display from when the general diagram variation display is started until the fixed map is displayed in a fixed stop state. The normal variation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining the general variation pattern by using the random number for distribution of the general variation pattern. It is determined from all 9 types of integers up to “8”. A predetermined judgment value is assigned to each of the customary pattern fluctuation patterns, and the typical figure fluctuation pattern to which the common figure fluctuation pattern distribution judgment value corresponding to the acquired random number for normal pattern fluctuation pattern distribution is assigned is the main. It is specified by the control CPU 60a. Here, the determination value for determining the normal pattern variation pattern differs in the type and the number of allocation of the general map variation pattern to be allocated depending on the result of the determination per universal map. Specifically, in the embodiment, when the result of the judgment per common figure is affirmative (winning per common figure), all the standard figure variation pattern determination values are assigned to one common figure fluctuation pattern, When the fluctuation pattern of a predetermined time (for example, 6000 ms) is determined, the normal pattern fluctuation pattern is determined, but when the result of the normal map judgment is negative (decision per common chart), another normal map fluctuation pattern All the standard fluctuation pattern determination values are assigned to the standard fluctuation pattern that defines a predetermined time fluctuation time (for example, 520 ms).

Next, the control CPUs 60a and 65a prohibit access to the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c, and wait for input of a reset signal from the reset signal circuit 106. And each control CPU60a, 65a will control operation | movement of control CPU60a, 65a, if a reset signal is input. After the power supply is cut off, various information stored in the backup area by the power-off process is stored and held as backup data.

(About processing at power-on)
When power is applied to the pachinko machine 10 (power supply is started), the reset signal circuit 106 continuously outputs a reset signal to the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a until a predetermined regulation time elapses. To do. When the input of the reset signal once input stops, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a execute a power-on process (recovery process) based on the power-on process program stored in the corresponding control ROM 60b, 65b. . In this power-on process, it is determined whether or not the clear switch 102 is operated. Return to the state. If it is determined in the power-on process that the clear switch 102 is operated, various control information stored in the control RAMs 60c and 65c are erased (initialized). The effect control CPU 65a that has returned to the state before the power supply is cut off outputs various control commands that specify control information stored and managed in the effect control RAM 65c to the display control CPU 70a. And display control CPU70a controls the display content of the display apparatus 17 based on the control command input from presentation control CPU65a.

  The power-on process executed based on the power-on process program will be described with reference to FIG. In the power-on process, when power supply is started (ON operation of the power switch 101 and resumption of power supply by canceling the power failure) (step C10), the control CPU 60a, 65a determines whether or not the clear switch 102 is ON in step C11. Determine. If the determination result in step C11 is affirmative, that is, if the clear switch 102 is turned on, the control CPUs 60a and 65a erase (initialize) various control information stored and held in the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c. (Step C12), and the power-on process is terminated. On the other hand, when the determination result of step C11 is negative, that is, when the clear switch 102 is not turned on, the control CPUs 60a and 65a are configured to generate power based on various control information stored and held in the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c. The state is restored to the state before the supply is shut off (step C13), and the power-on process is terminated. In other words, power supply from the external power supply is started when the power switch 101 is turned on or when power is restored after a power failure, and only the power ON signal (power supply signal) output from the power interruption monitoring circuit 103 is controlled by the control CPUs 60a and 65a. When the power supply is interrupted, the control CPUs 60a and 65a do not initialize the various control information (backup data) stored and held in the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c. When the clear signal output from the clear switch circuit 104 is input to the control CPUs 60a and 65a while returning to the previous state, the control CPUs 60a and 65a are stored and held in the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c. An initialization process for erasing various control information is executed.

  That is, when the hit determination means for determining whether or not to generate a hit game (big hit game) triggered by the detection of the balls of the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2, and when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative, The main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has a function as a hit game determining means for determining a hit game to be given from a plurality of types of hit games with different privilege amounts. That is, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has a function as a hit determination means for determining that a hit game is generated in response to the ball detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2. Further, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has a function as a hit game giving means for giving the determined type of hit game after the end of the special symbol change display (after the end of the symbol combination effect). The main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) performs a symbol combination effect (variation display of identification information) to be performed by the display device (display means) 17 triggered by detection of one of the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2. It has a function as a variation pattern determining means for determining a variation pattern (special pattern variation pattern) for specifying a variation time from a plurality of variation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b as a storage means. Further, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) determines whether or not to give a probability variation state in which the probability that a hit will occur (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is affirmative) is higher than usual. In addition to functioning as a first gaming state determination means, it is configured to function as a first gaming state provision means for imparting a probability change state after the winning game ends. The main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) also displays the special display unit (special display unit) so as to stop and display a special symbol corresponding to the determination result of the hit determination means on the special display unit (special display unit 50A, 50B). 50A, 50B) functioning as special symbol display control means for controlling the display.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has a high probability that the pachinko ball will win the second start winning opening 32 when a win occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is affirmative). It functions as a second gaming state determination means for determining whether or not to give a winning rate improvement state (variable state), and determines a period for giving a winning rate improvement state when giving a winning rate improvement state In addition to functioning as a period determining means, it also functions as a second game state giving means for giving a variable state for a period of giving a winning rate improvement state determined after the winning game. Here, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) improves the winning rate during the period from the end of the winning game until the predetermined number of special figure fluctuation display (symbol combination effect) is executed. It is determined as the state grant period. Also, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has a plurality of types of periods as the winning rate improvement state grant period, and the winning game (big hit game) determined by the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the winning game determining means. ) Is decided according to the type. Thus, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60), when the hit determination is affirmative, is based on the ball detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2, and a privilege state (probability change) that is advantageous to the player after the hit game. A function as privilege state determination means for determining whether or not to provide a state, a variable state). In other words, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) determines that the detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2 is satisfied as a start condition, and the special game state (win game state, probability change state, change state) when the start condition is satisfied. When the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) serving as the determination means determines that the special gaming state is to be granted, the plurality of types of special gaming states are determined. The main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has a function as a game state determining means for determining either. Further, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) has a function as winning information acquisition means for acquiring various winning information (random numbers, etc.) triggered by the ball detection of the start winning detection sensors SE1, SE2.

  The main control RAM 60c receives a winning while the symbol combination effect is being performed on the display device 17 (that is, while the special symbol variation display is being performed on the first and second special symbol display units 50A and 50B). It functions as a hold storage means capable of storing a plurality of pieces of information as start hold information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first starting winning detection sensor SE1 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the display device 17 or the first special figure display unit 50A) is the first start. Acquired by the detection of the second start winning detection sensor SE2 while the variable display is being performed on the first hold storage means and the display means (display device 17 and second special figure display unit 50B) stored as hold information. Functioning as second hold storage means for storing the winning information as second start hold information.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) causes the display device 17 as the display means to make a fixed stop display (decorative drawing, identification information) based on the determination result of the main control CPU 60a as the hit determination means. And the display control means for controlling the display device 17 as the display means so as to stop display the determined effect design (decorative drawing, identification information). Further, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) specifies the effect content of the symbol combination effect to be performed by the display means, triggered by the acquisition of the winning information (establishment of the determination condition) by the winning information acquiring means. Has a function as an effect pattern determining means for determining one of a plurality of types. The effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) as the effect pattern determining means determines the effect pattern based on the special figure variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a.

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

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

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of the first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of the first special figure start hold information hold is incremented by 1, and the first special figure stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of holds in the figure start hold information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, the main control RAM 60c receives 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 set as first winning start hold information in the first to fourth areas of the first start hold area in the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. (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 32. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal that is output when the second start winning detection sensor SE2 corresponding to the second start winning opening 32 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 value) is set as second winning start hold information in the first to fourth areas of the second start hold area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. (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 is displaying the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 in the special figure display units 50A and 50B in a variable display (during the symbol combination production on the display device 17) or in the big hit game. Whether or not (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 stored second special figure start hold information (the number stored) is read (step B12), and the number of second special figure start hold information held (the number stored) is It is determined whether or not it is larger than “0” (step B13). If the determination result of step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information (holding number (stored number) = 0)), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. The main control CPU 60a stores the data in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of stored second special figure start holding information (the number of storage)> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is to be executed is set in the special figure fluctuation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holds (stored number) of the second special figure start hold information (step B14) and stores it in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds. The second special figure start hold information (various random values such as special figure determination random number value, special figure determination random number value, production execution determination random number value, special figure variation pattern distribution random number value, etc. ) Is acquired by the main control 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 hold 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 53 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. 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 symbol 2), which becomes a big hit symbol displayed on the second special symbol display unit 50B, on the basis of the acquired value of the special symbol determination random number (step B24). ). That is, the main control CPU 60a determines the jackpot symbol by determining the special chart 2 based on the acquired special figure determining random number. 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).

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, since all the big hit symbols are set to give a changeable state, the change flag is set to “1” after the end of the big hit game. Further, as described above, the probability variation state is configured to determine whether or not the bonus game is given depending on the type of the jackpot symbol. In this case, the probability variation flag is set to “1” after the big hit game ends. Further, when the big hit symbol is a non-probable variation symbol (in the embodiment, symbols B and e), the probability variation flag is set to “0”. The probability variation flag and the variation flag are set to "0" when the probability variation state termination condition and the variation state termination condition are satisfied.

  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 unit 50B to display the outlier symbol as a final stop symbol (special feature). 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 error symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display unit 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 that has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 2) in steps B25, B29, and B31 sends a predetermined control command to the production control board 65 (production control CPU 65a). Output at the 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 unit 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 contents of the display unit 50B are controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the designated special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all symbols stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped. . In addition, when the end condition of the probability change state and the end condition of the variable state are satisfied, a probability change end command and a change end command are output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information (holding number) (memory number) = 0), the number of the first special figure start hold information (holding number) is read. (Step B16), it is determined whether or not the number of holds (stored number) of the first special figure start hold information is larger than “0” (Step B17). When the determination result of step B17 is affirmative (the number of stored first special figure start hold information (the number of stored)> 0), the main control CPU 60a is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure fluctuation effect is to be executed is set in the special figure fluctuation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holds (stored number) of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and a predetermined storage in the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control CPU 60a acquires 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 effect execution determination, and the value of the random number for distribution of special figure variation stored in the area ( Step B19) Next, a hit determination process is executed. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the second special figure start hold information acquired upon winning the second start winning opening 32 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired upon winning 31 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol combination effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become. When executing the symbol combination effect based on the special symbol start hold information, the symbol combination 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 where the pachinko ball has won (the first starting winning opening 31 and the second starting winning opening 32), the special drawing start hold acquired with the winning at the starting winning opening 31, 32 is obtained. The symbol combination 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 50A so as to correspond to the number of holds (stored number) 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. 7, 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 displayed on the first special symbol display unit 50A based on the acquired special figure determination random number (Step B34). ). That is, the main control CPU 60a determines the jackpot symbol by determining the special chart 1 based on the acquired special figure determining random number. 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). As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, all the big hit symbols are set to give a variable state, and the probable state is given according to the type of the big hit symbol (big hit game). Therefore, the change flag is set to “1” after the jackpot game is ended, and the probability change flag is set to “1” or “0” depending on the type of the jackpot symbol. The

  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 unit 50A as a final stop symbol (special stop symbol). 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).

  If 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 displays the error symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A. 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, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 1) in steps B35, B39, B41, gives a predetermined control command to the production control board 65 (production control CPU 65a). Output at timing (step B36). 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 first special figure display unit 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 unit 50A is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 60a instructs to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the designated special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all symbols stop command for displaying the symbol combination to be confirmed and stopped. . Further, when the end conditions of the probability change state and the variable state are satisfied, a probability change state and a variable end command are output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B17 is negative (if the number of first special figure start hold information (holding number (stored number) = 0)), the main control CPU 60a issues a demonstration designation command for starting execution of the demonstration effect. It is determined whether or not it has already been output (step B20). If the determination result is negative, a demonstration designation command is output and the special figure start process is terminated (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process.

(About production control)
Next, processing executed on the effect control board 65 will be described. The effect control CPU 65a of the effect control board 65 determines an effect pattern to be executed in the symbol combination effect based on the special figure variation pattern specification command input from the main control CPU 60a, and specifies the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. That is, the effect control CPU 65a functions as an effect execution control means for executing a symbol combination effect on the display device 17 based on the determined effect pattern.

  Here, the effect patterns that can be selected by the effect 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 effect control CPU 65a displays each symbol row 26a to be finally stopped on the display device 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. , 26b, 26c are determined. In other words, when the symbol designated by the special symbol 1 designation command or the special symbol 2 designation command is a jackpot symbol, the effect control CPU 65a displays each symbol row 26a, 26b, The decorative drawing to be confirmed and stopped at 26c is determined.

  The effect control CPU 65a sets the probability 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 (probability variation symbol) to which the probability variation state is given, the probability variation indicating the probability variation state. The flag is set to “1”, and the probability variation flag is set to “0” when corresponding to the big hit symbol (non-probability variation symbol) that does not give the probability variation state.

The percentage of the figures to be displayed is 41%, the percentage of “5” and “9” on the decoration drawing is 2%, and the ratio of “8” on the decoration drawing is 14%. The judgment value is assigned.

  In this way, in the case of determining the decoration drawing with reference to the special figure 2 non-variable decoration drawing lottery table TB5, the symbol e is determined as the jackpot symbol, and the first effect symbol group G1 and the second effect symbol group G2 Or, when the decoration drawing is determined from the fourth effect design group G4, that is, when the decoration drawing is determined while staying in the first effect mode M1, the second effect mode M2, or the fourth effect mode M4. As a decorative figure displayed on the display device 17 in a fixed stop, a decorative figure (second identification) that can recognize that there is a high possibility that a non-probable big hit game (fifth big hit game) corresponding to the pattern e is given. Design) is determined. On the other hand, when the symbol e is determined as the jackpot symbol and the decorative symbol is determined from the third effect symbol group G3 or the fifth effect symbol group G5, that is, in the third effect mode M3 or the fifth effect mode M5. If the decoration is decided while staying, a non-probability big hit game (fifth big hit game) corresponding to the pattern e may be given as a decoration that is displayed on the display device 17 as a fixed stoppage. Is likely to be determined (first identification symbol) that can recognize that the probability is low (probability of winning a probable big hit game is high). In other words, when the symbol e is determined as the jackpot symbol, if the staying demonstration mode is the third demonstration mode M3 or the fifth demonstration mode M5, the display device 17 is generally given a probable big hit game. Even if the first identification symbol (special performance symbol) that can be recognized as being highly likely to be played is confirmed and stopped, the probabilistic state is not given after the jackpot game ends, so that the performance is uniform. You can improve your interest without In addition, when determining a decoration drawing with reference to the special figure 2 non-changeable decoration drawing lottery table TB5, “7” of the decoration drawing which is a special special effect design is not determined.

  Here, when staying in the third effect mode M3 or the fifth effect mode M5, the decoration is made with reference to the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2 or the special figure 1 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB3. The type of jackpot game specified by the symbol A or symbol B determined by the main control CPU 60a when the figure is determined, that is, when the jackpot determination at the first start winning opening 31 is affirmative The ratio at which decorative drawings that are likely to be recognized are determined is set to be substantially the same. Specifically, in the special figure 1 probability variation decoration drawing table TB2, as shown in FIG. 14A, it is highly likely that a probability variation big hit game (first big hit game) corresponding to the symbol A is given. The ratios for determining the decorative figures “3”, “5”, and “9” that are the first recognizable identification symbols are substantially the same. In the special figure 1 uncertain variable decorative drawing lottery table TB3, FIG. As shown in b), the decorative figures “2” and “4” which are second identification symbols that can recognize that there is a high possibility that the non-probability big hit game (second big hit game) corresponding to the symbol B is given. ”,“ 6 ”,“ 8 ”or“ 4 ”,“ 6 ”,“ 8 ”are determined in the same ratio. On the other hand, when staying in the third effect mode M3 or the fifth effect mode M5, refer to the special figure 2 probability variation decoration drawing table TB4 or the special figure 2 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB5. The situation of determining the decoration diagram, that is, when the big hit determination at the second start winning opening 32 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines the jackpot game specified by the symbol d or the symbol e determined by the main control CPU 60a. The ratio at which a decoration drawing with a high possibility of recognizing the type is determined is set to be greatly different. Specifically, in the special figure 2 probability variation decoration drawing table TB4, as shown in FIG. 15A, it is highly likely that a probability variation big hit game (fourth big hit game) corresponding to the symbol d is given. The ratio at which the decorative drawings “3”, “5”, and “9”, which are the first recognizable identification symbols, are determined is set to be approximately twice or three times different. Also, in the special figure 2 non-probable variation drawing lottery table TB5, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), there is a high possibility that a non-probable big hit game (fifth big hit game) corresponding to the symbol e is given. The rate at which the decorative figure “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” or “4”, “6”, “8”, which is the second recognizable identification pattern, is determined is about double or about It is set to be three times different. More specifically, when the decoration drawing is determined with reference to the special drawing 2 probability variation decoration drawing lottery table TB4 in the third effect mode M3, the decoration drawings “3” and “5” are the decoration drawing “9”. When the decoration drawing is determined with reference to the special drawing 2 uncertain decoration drawing lottery table TB5, the decoration drawings “6” and “8” are displayed as the decoration drawing “2”, It is set to be about twice as easy to be determined as “4”. Further, in the fifth effect mode M5, when the decoration drawing is determined with reference to the special drawing 2 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB4, the decoration drawings “5” and “9” are approximately three times as large as the decoration drawing “3”. When determining decorations with reference to the special figure 2 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB5, the decorations “4” and “6” are determined approximately three times as large as the decoration “8”. It is set easily. In other words, in the third effect mode M3 or the fifth effect mode M5, a decoration that is fixedly stopped and displayed on the display device 17 depending on the types of the start winning ports 31 and 32 where the pachinko balls that will be given the big hit game are awarded. The decision rate is different.

(About the table for special decoration drawing lottery TB6)
The table for special decoration drawing lottery TB6 is used when the main control CPU 60a determines the symbol c as the big hit symbol, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the decoration drawing to be displayed on the display device 17 in a fixed stop display. It is. In this separate decorative drawing lottery table TB6, as shown in FIG. 16, in any case where a decorative drawing is determined from the first to fifth effect design groups G1 to G5, only “7” of the decorative drawing is determined. In this way, the decorative drawing determination values are distributed. In other words, the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of the display device 17 are displayed with a combination of “7, 7, 7” regardless of the state of staying in any of the first to fifth effect modes M1 to M5. When the figure is displayed in a definite stop state, the pachinko machine 10 is given a jackpot game (third jackpot game) that is most advantageous to the player.

  Here, in the case of determining a decoration drawing with reference to the special figure 1 probability variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2 shown in FIG. 14 (a) and the special figure 1 non-probability variation decoration drawing lottery table TB3 shown in FIG. 14 (b). With the case where a decoration drawing is determined with reference to, the determination ratio of each decoration drawing in the case where a decoration drawing is determined from each effect design group G1 to G5 is different. In other words, in each of the corresponding effect modes M1 to M5 that determine the decoration from each effect symbol group G1 to G5, the jackpot symbol is a probabilistic symbol (a symbol that gives a probable change state and a variable state after the jackpot game) and the jackpot symbol is The non-probable variable symbol (the symbol that gives only the variable state after the big hit game) differs in the determination rate of the decorative graphic that the effect control CPU 65a displays on the display device 17 in a definite stop state. That is, in each effect mode M1 to M5, the ratio that the effect control CPU 65a determines a specific decoration from the types of decorations that can be determined in the effect modes M1 to M5 is the special game state that is given after the jackpot game. It differs depending on the type of game (special game state that gives a probable change state and a change state or a special game state that gives only a change state). Similarly, the case of determining a decoration drawing with reference to the special figure 2 probability variation decoration drawing lottery table TB4 shown in FIG. 15 (a) and the special figure 2 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB5 shown in FIG. 15 (b). With the case where a decoration drawing is determined with reference to, the determination ratio of each decoration drawing in the case where a decoration drawing is determined from each effect design group G1 to G5 is different. In other words, in each of the corresponding effect modes M1 to M5 that determine the decoration from each effect symbol group G1 to G5, the jackpot symbol is a probabilistic symbol (a symbol that gives a probable change state and a variable state after the jackpot game) and the jackpot symbol is The non-probable variable symbol (the symbol that gives only the variable state after the big hit game) differs in the determination rate of the decorative graphic that the effect control CPU 65a displays on the display device 17 in a definite stop state. That is, in each effect mode M1 to M5, the ratio that the effect control CPU 65a determines a specific decoration from the types of decorations that can be determined in the effect modes M1 to M5 is the special game state that is given after the jackpot game. It differs depending on the type of game (special game state that gives a probable change state and a change state or a special game state that gives only a change state).

  In the embodiment, when the distribution ratios of the determination values for decoration drawing of the decoration drawing lottery tables TB2, TB3, TB4, TB5, TB6 are compared, the decoration drawing lottery tables TB2, TB3, TB4 other than the special decoration drawing lottery table TB6 are compared. , TB5, the first and second special effect symbols (“1”, “3”, “5”, “9”) classified as special effect symbols (special effect symbols) can be determined. On the other hand, the special special effect design (“7”) classified as the special effect design is determined only when the special design drawing lottery table TB6 is referred to. In other words, when the combination of decorations that are confirmed and stopped at the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of the display device 17 is “7, 7, 7”, it is the most for the player set in the pachinko machine 10. It is possible to recognize that an advantageous jackpot game (third jackpot game) is awarded. Further, the distribution ratio of the decision values for the decoration drawing between the special figure 1 probability variation decoration lottery table TB2 and the special figure 1 non-certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB3, and the special figure 2 probability variation decoration lottery table TB4 and the special figure 2 non-specification. Comparing the distribution ratios of the determination values for decoration drawings with the table for probability variation decoration lottery TB5, the special effect 1 lottery drawing lottery is obtained in the first effect symbol group G1, the second effect symbol group G2, and the fourth effect symbol group G4. 1 which is classified as a special effect design only when referring to the table TB2 for special use or the table 2 for special variation 2 lottery drawing (the case where the probability change / shortening state (specific special game state) is given) While the special effect symbol (“1”, “3”) or the second special effect symbol (“9”) can be determined, in the third effect symbol group G3 and the fifth effect symbol group G5, the special symbol 1-certain decoration drawing lottery table T 2 or Special Figure 2 Probable decoration drawing lottery table TB4 (when a probable / variable state (specific special game state) is given) The first special effect classified as a special effect design The symbol ("3", "5") or the second special effect symbol ("9") can be determined, and the special figure 1 uncertain decorative figure lottery table TB3 or special figure 2 uncertain variable decorative figure lottery In the case of referring to the table TB5 (when a non-probability change / short change state (a special game state other than a specific special game state) is given), the second special effect design ("5", "9") is determined. It is possible. In other words, in the embodiment, the first effect mode M1 for determining a decoration drawing from a plurality of types of decoration drawings classified into the first effect symbol group G1, the second effect symbol group G2, and the fourth effect symbol group G4. The second effect mode M2 and the fourth effect mode M4 are set as the first effect mode in which the special effect symbol is determined only when a specific special game state is given, and the third effect symbol group G3 and The third effect mode M3 and the fifth effect mode M5 for determining a decoration from a plurality of types of decorations classified in the fifth effect graphic group G5 are a specific special game state and a non-specific special game state. In any case, it is set as a second effect mode in which a special effect symbol can be determined.

  That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, in each of the effect modes M1 to M5 in which the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) can be determined as the mode determining means, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65 as the effect symbol determining means). ) Are categorized into corresponding effect symbol groups G1 to G5, as shown in FIG. 13, as types of ornamental symbols (effect symbols) that can be determined and stopped on the display device 17. The effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) as the effect design determining means can be determined as the effect (determination symbol) to be displayed on the display device 17 in a definite stop because the type (number) of the decorative drawings is different. The types of decoration drawings (effect designs) differ depending on the types of effect modes M1 to M5 determined by the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) as the mode determining means. Further, as described above, in each of the effect modes M1 to M5, the distribution ratios of the decoration drawing determination values for the decoration drawings (effect designs) set in the corresponding effect symbol groups G1 to G5 are different, and the effect control CPU 65a. The ratio of determining a specific decoration figure (specific production pattern) as a decoration figure (production pattern) for which the (production control board 65) is confirmed and stopped on the display device 17 is determined by the production control CPU 65a (production control) as the mode determining means. The board 65) differs depending on the type of the production modes M1 to M5 determined. Furthermore, when determining a decoration figure (production symbol) with reference to the special figure 1 probability variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2 and the special figure 1 uncertain variation decoration figure lottery table TB3, and for the special figure 2 certain variation variation decoration lottery drawing In the case of determining a decoration figure (production symbol) with reference to the table TB4 and the special figure 2 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB5, the decoration from each of the production symbol groups G1 to G5 corresponding to each of the production modes M1 to M5. The ratio of determining a specific decorative figure (specific design) in determining a figure (production design) is different. That is, by determining that the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) grants a big hit game, a special game state that gives a probable change state and a change state after the big hit game, or a special game state that gives only a change state When the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the determination means determines that the gaming state is to be given, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) as the effect symbol determination means is confirmed and stopped on the display device 17. The types of decoration drawings (production designs) that can be determined as decoration drawings (production designs) and the decision ratio of specific decoration drawings (production designs) are the types of production modes determined by the mode decision means and the main game state decision means. The control CPU 60a (main control board 60) differs depending on the type of special game state determined.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the odd design drawings as the special production designs are classified into the production design groups G1 to G5 corresponding to the production modes M1 to M5, respectively. The number of decorative drawing determination values distributed to each other is set so as to be different for each of the effect symbol groups G1 to G5 (see FIGS. 14 and 15), and the effect control CPU 65a (effect control as the effect symbol determining means) The ratio of the board 65) that determines the odd number of decorative drawings (special effect symbols) from the effect symbol groups G1 to G5 is different.

  In the first effect mode M1, the second effect mode M2, and the fourth effect mode M4 as the first effect mode, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the game state determining means is in a specific special game state. When it is determined that a certain probability variation / shortening state is to be given, a decoration drawing (production pattern) is determined with reference to the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2 or the special figure 2 certain variation variation drawing lottery table TB4. When performing, only the special effect symbols “1”, “3”, and “9” can be determined. On the other hand, in the third effect mode M3 and the fifth effect mode M5 as the second effect mode, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the game state determining means is a specific special game state. When it is determined that a short state is to be given, a case where a decoration (decoration) is determined with reference to the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2 or the special figure 2 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB4 and the game When the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the state determining means determines to give a non-probable change / shortening state that is a special game state other than a specific special game state, In any of the cases where the decoration drawing (production design) is determined with reference to the drawing lottery table TB3 or the special figure 2 non-variable decoration drawing lottery table TB5, the special production symbols “5”, “ One of the "is set to be determined. In other words, when the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the gaming state determination means decides to give a certain special gaming state probability change / shortening state as the special gaming state to the special effect symbol. The first special effect symbol (“1”, “3”) that can be determined as the decoration symbol (effect symbol) that the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) as the effect symbol determining means determines and displays on the display device 17 is stopped. ), And when the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the gaming state determining means determines the probability variation / shortening state, which is a specific special gaming state, as a special gaming state, and a special gaming state other than the specific special gaming state The display control CPU 65a (production control board 65) as the production symbol decision means is confirmed and stopped on the display device 17 when the non-probability / shortening state is determined. Second special performance symbol determinable ( "5", "9") are provided as (performance symbols). In addition, the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2, the special figure 1 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB3, the special figure 2 certain variation variation drawing lottery table TB4, the special figure 2 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB5 and the special case In the decorative drawing lottery table TB6, the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) determines the jackpot symbol (special figure 1, special figure 2) to which the main control CPU 60a corresponds, and the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) serves as the effect pattern. When the effect pattern P4 per normal reach or the effect pattern P5 per super reach is determined, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) refers to determine the decoration.

(About the first and second promotion decoration drawing lottery tables TB7 and TB8)
As described above, when the first promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7 and the second promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB8 are determined, the production control CPU 65a determines the promotion production pattern P6 or the non-elevation production pattern P7 as the production pattern. FIG. 10 is a lottery table that is referred to in order to determine a decoration that is temporarily stopped and displayed on the display device 17 and a decoration that is confirmed and stopped after re-variation. Specifically, when the promotion effect pattern P6 is determined as the effect pattern, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) uses the first promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7 as the decoration figure temporarily stopped and displayed on the display device 17. With reference to the decision, a decoration figure to be confirmed and stopped after re-variation is determined with reference to the second promoted decoration drawing lottery table TB8. On the other hand, when the non-promotion effect pattern P7 is determined as the effect pattern, the effect control CPU 65a (the effect control board 65) displays the decoration drawing temporarily displayed on the display device 17 as the first promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7. In addition, the decorative drawing that is confirmed and stopped after re-variation is determined with reference to the first promoted decorative drawing lottery table TB7. The promotion effect pattern P6 is an effect pattern that can be determined when the main control CPU 60a determines the symbol A or the symbol d, which is a probable variation symbol, as the big hit symbol, and the non-elevation effect pattern P7 is a big hit by the main control CPU 60a. This is an effect pattern that can be determined in either case where the symbol A or symbol d, which is a probability variable symbol, is determined as the symbol, or the symbol B or symbol e, which is a non-probable variable symbol, is determined.

  When the allocation ratio of the decoration value for the decoration drawing in the first promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7 is specifically described, as shown in FIG. The percentages for determining “0” and “2” in the decorative map are 10% respectively, and the ratios for determining “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” in the decorative map are respectively The decision value for decoration drawing is distributed so that the percentage of “4” of decoration drawing is 20% at 0% and the ratio of “6” and “8” of decoration drawing is 30% respectively. It has been. In addition, when determining a decoration from the second effect design group G2, the percentages of “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” of the decoration are each 0%. The determination value for decoration drawing is set so that the ratios for determining “2” and “4” for decoration drawings are 30%, respectively, and the ratios for determining “6” and “8” for decoration drawings are 20% respectively. It is distributed. In addition, when determining a decorative drawing from the third effect design group G3, the percentages of “2” and “8” of the decorative drawing being determined are 15%, respectively, and “3”, “5”, “ The decision values for decoration drawing are distributed so that the ratios for determining “7” and “9” are 0% respectively, and the ratios for determining “4” and “6” for decoration drawings are 35% respectively. . In addition, when determining a decoration from the fourth effect design group G4, the percentages of “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” of the decoration are each 0%. The determination value for decoration drawing is distributed so that the ratio of “4” and “8” in the decoration drawing is 25%, and the ratio in which “6” of the decoration drawing is determined is 50%. Furthermore, when determining a decorative drawing from the fifth effect design group G5, the percentages of “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” of the decorative drawing are 0%, respectively. 4 ”is determined at 40%, the decoration“ 6 ”is determined at 25%, and the decoration“ 8 ”is determined at 35%. The value is assigned.

  Thus, in the case of determining a decoration drawing with reference to the first promoted decoration drawing lottery table TB7, the decoration drawing is determined from any of the effect design groups G1 to G5 of the first to fifth effect design groups G1 to G5. Even in this case, it is set so that an odd number of decorations (first identification symbol) that can recognize that the probability of winning a probable big hit game is high is not determined. That is, in the symbol combination effect based on the promotion effect pattern P6 or the non-elevation effect pattern P7, the first identification symbol (special effect symbol) is displayed as a decorative figure that is temporarily displayed at the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of the display device 17. Is configured so as not to be determined. Moreover, when determining a decoration drawing with reference to 1st promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7, each determination probability of an even number of decoration drawings is based on each effect design group G1-G5, ie, each effect mode M1-M5. Are set differently.

  Next, the allocation ratio of the decorative drawing determination values in the second promoted decorative drawing lottery table TB8 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 17B, the decorative drawing is determined from the first effect design group G1. In such a case, the percentages of “0”, “2”, “4”, “6” to “8” in the decoration drawing are 0%, and “1”, “3”, “5” in the decoration drawing. , “Decimation value for decoration drawing” is distributed so that the ratio of “9” is 25%. In addition, when the decoration drawing is determined from the second effect design group G2, the proportion of the decoration drawing “1” determined is 5%, and the decoration drawings “2”, “4”, “6” to “8” ”Is determined to be 0% each, the proportion of“ 3 ”of the decoration drawing is determined to be 35%, and the ratio of“ 5 ”and“ 9 ”of the decoration drawing is determined to be 30% respectively. The decision values for decoration drawings are assigned to the table. In addition, when determining a decoration from the third effect design group G3, the percentages of “2”, “4”, and “6” to “8” of the decoration are 0%, respectively. The determination value for decoration drawing is distributed so that the ratio at which “3” and “5” are determined is 40% and the ratio at which “9” of the decoration drawing is determined is 20%. In addition, when determining a decorative drawing from the fourth effect design group G4, the proportion of “1” in the decorative drawing is 20%, and the proportion of “3” in the decorative drawing is 30%. In the figure, “4”, “6” to “8” are determined at a rate of 0%, and “5” of the decoration is determined at 35%, and “9” of the decoration is determined. The decorative drawing determination values are distributed so that the ratio is 15%. Furthermore, when the decoration drawing is determined from the fifth effect design group G5, the ratio of “3” of the decoration drawing is 20%, and “4”, “6” to “8” of the decoration drawing are determined. The decorative drawing determination values are distributed so that the ratios of “5” and “9” in the decorative drawings are 40%, respectively.

  Thus, in the case of determining a decoration drawing with reference to the second promoted decoration drawing lottery table TB8, the decoration drawing is determined from any of the effect design groups G1 to G5 of the first to fifth effect design groups G1 to G5. Even in such a case, it is set so that an even number of decorative figures (second identification symbols) that cannot be recognized as to whether or not there is a high possibility that a probable big hit game is awarded will not be determined. That is, in the symbol combination effect based on the promotion effect pattern P6, the decoration figure to be confirmed and stopped at the combination symbol positions L, C, R of the display device 17 is determined with reference to the first promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7. It is different from the decorative drawing. Specifically, the symbol combination effect based on the promotion effect pattern P6 is configured such that after the second identification symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed, the first identification symbol is confirmed and stopped. Moreover, when determining a decoration drawing with reference to 2nd promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB8, each decision probability of odd number of decoration drawings depends on each effect design group G1-G5, ie, each effect mode M1-M5. Are set differently. In addition, depending on the type of effect modes M1 to M5, the odds of the odd decorations are set so that the decision probability is biased toward a specific odd number of decorations, and the decorations that are fixedly displayed for each of the effect modes M1 to M5 are displayed. A special feature comes out. For example, in the third effect mode M3 (second effect symbol group G3), the decoration drawings “3” and “5” are easily determined twice as much as the decoration drawing “9”, whereas the fifth effect mode M5 (the second effect mode group G3). In the 5 effect design group G5), the decoration drawings “5” and “9” are set to be twice as easily determined as the decoration drawing “3”.

(About notice effect)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the jackpot game that is given after the end of the symbol combination effect triggered by the winning at the starting winning ports 31, 32 (specifically, the ball detection by the starting winning detection sensors SE1, SE2) ( The announcement effect suggesting the type of (winning game) can be executed during the symbol combination effect of the display device 17 based on the announcement effect information stored in the effect control ROM 65b. In this notice effect, a specific notice effect R1 and a non-specific notice effect R2 having different basic effect contents from the specific notice effect R1 are set (see FIG. 18). A plurality of types of specific notice effects R1 and non-specific notice effects R2 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the special figure variation determined as a result of the jackpot determination triggered by winning at the start winning ports 31 and 32 (specifically, ball detection by the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2). When a variation pattern designation command for designating a pattern is input to the effect control CPU 65a, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the notice effect, and a plurality of kinds of notice effects in the case of execution (specific notice effect R1) In addition, it is configured to perform a lottery for determining whether or not to perform a notice effect determined from one non-specific notice effect R2).

  In each of the effect modes M1 to M5, when the execution of the notice effect is determined in the execution determination lottery, the effect control CPU 65a (the effect control board 65) executes a plurality of types of notice effects that are executed by the display device 17. The notice effect is configured to be determined from the corresponding notice effect symbol groups YG1 to YG5 grouped in advance. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, the first notice effect group YG1 corresponding to the first effect mode M1 includes “Y1-a”, “Y1-b”, “Y1-c”, “Y1-d”. ”Different types of notice effects are set, and the second notice effect group YG2 corresponding to the second effect mode M2 includes“ Y2-a ”,“ Y2-b ”,“ Y2-c ”,“ Y2- Four types of notice effects different in “d” are set, and the third notice effect group YG3 corresponding to the third effect mode M3 includes “Y3-a”, “Y3-b”, “Y3-c”, “Y3”. -D "different types of notice effects are set, and the fourth notice effect group YG4 corresponding to the fourth effect mode M4 includes" Y4-a "," Y4-b "," Y4-c "," Four types of notice effects different in “Y4-d” are set, and the fifth notice corresponding to the fifth effect mode M5 is set. The out group YG5, "Y5-a", "Y5-b", "Y5-c", four different types of announcement attraction of the "Y5-d" is set. That is, each of the notice effect groups YG1 to YG5 corresponding to the types of the effect modes M1 to M includes different kinds of notice effects. Then, the display device 17 is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so that the types of the notice effects determined from the notice effect groups YG1 to YG5 are executed at the notice effect execution timings F1 to F5 described later set during the symbol combination effects. To be controlled. In the embodiment, “Y1-a”, “Y2-a”, “Y3-a”, “Y4-a”, and “Y5-a” included in each of the notice effect design symbol groups YG1 to YG5 are the specific notice. The notice effect is classified as effect R1, and other notice effects are set as the notice effect classified as non-specific notice effect R2. The three types of non-specific notice effects R2 set in each of the notice effect groups YG1 to YG5 have different contents of the effects.

  Here, in the notice effects “Y1-a”, “Y2-a”, “Y3-a”, “Y4-a”, and “Y5-a” classified into the specific notice effect R1, the pachinko machine 10 An image (special image) of a characteristic item that is a motif of the item is commonly used, and it is possible to recognize that the item is a specific notice effect R1 by displaying the image of the item.

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

(About the distribution lottery process in production mode)
In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the big hit game ends in any of the five types of effect modes M1 to M5 having different probabilities that the types of decorations to be confirmed and stopped in the symbol combination effect and the specific decorations are determined. Since the determination is made by lottery internally when the grant period of the variable state is completed and when the granting period of the variable state ends, the processing related to the distribution lottery of the production modes M1 to M5 will be described for each different opportunity.

(About the lottery process in the production mode when the big hit game ends)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the designation command corresponding to the end of the big hit game is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, the effect control CPU 65a acquires the effect mode random number, and the effect mode random number And the effect mode determination value in the effect mode lottery table TB1 are compared to determine one of the effect modes M1 to M5. The effect control CPU 65a sets “1” to the effect mode flags corresponding to the determined effect modes M1 to M5, and the decorative illustrations to be confirmed and stopped on the display device 17 in the subsequent symbol combination effects are the determined effect modes M1 to M1. One of the effect symbol groups G1 to G5 corresponding to M5 is determined. The types of decorative drawings set in the effect symbol groups G1 to G5 and the probability of determining a specific decoration diagram are different for each effect symbol group G1 to G5. That is, since the types of decorations to be confirmed and stopped and the probability that a specific decoration is determined depending on the production modes M1 to M5 determined when the big hit game is ended, the production is suppressed from becoming monotonous. Can improve the fun of gaming. In addition, the discouragement degree at which the big hit game advantageous to the player is ended can be alleviated by changing the production mode and the probability that different decoration drawings are displayed or specific decoration drawings are displayed. Can attract the player's interest for a long time.

(About the distribution lottery process in the production mode when the grant period of the variable state ends)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the granting period of the variable state ends, the effect control CPU 65a acquires the effect mode random number when the end of the grant period is detected by the counter included in the effect control CPU 65a, and the effect mode use The random number and the effect mode determination value in the effect mode lottery table TB1 are compared to determine one of the effect modes M1 to M5. The effect control CPU 65a sets “1” to the effect mode flags corresponding to the determined effect modes M1 to M5, and the decorative illustrations to be confirmed and stopped on the display device 17 in the subsequent symbol combination effects are the determined effect modes M1 to M1. One of the effect symbol groups G1 to G5 corresponding to M5 is determined. That is, the effect mode in the pachinko machine 10 used for the game may be changed not only at the end of the big hit game but also at the end of the granting period of the variable state. In other words, since a plurality of opportunities for changing the production mode are set, it is possible to improve the fun of the game by suppressing the production from becoming monotonous by continuing the same production mode for a long time. In addition, the degree of discouragement when the state of change that is advantageous to the player ends can be mitigated by changing the rendering mode and the probability that a different decorative drawing is displayed or a specific decorative drawing is displayed. On the other hand, it is possible to attract the player's interest for a long time.

  In the pachinko machine 10, in the non-probability / non-change state (normal state) in which the probability change state and the change state are not given, a left-handed game form in which the pachinko ball flows down the first ball flow area 27a. A game is played. The main control CPU 60a executes a big hit determination based on the winning information acquired when the pachinko ball flowing down the first ball flowing area 27a wins the first start winning opening 31, and the result of the big hit determination is affirmative. In the case of, the jackpot symbol is determined. Further, in the effect control CPU 65a, any one of the decoration drawing lottery tables TB2, TB3, TB7, TB8 is selected according to the type of jackpot symbol (the type of special game state to be given) and the effect modes M1 to M5 that are staying. Is used to determine the decoration to be displayed in a fixed stop as a result of the symbol combination effect.

  Specifically, when the symbol A is determined as the jackpot symbol and either the effect pattern P4 per normal reach or the effect pattern P5 per super reach is determined as the effect pattern, the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery The decorative drawing to be confirmed and stopped is determined with reference to the table TB2, the symbol B is determined as the jackpot symbol, and either the effect pattern P4 per normal reach or the effect pattern P5 per super reach is determined as the effect pattern. If it is, the decoration drawing to be confirmed and stopped is determined with reference to the special figure 1 uncertain variation decoration drawing table TB3. As shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b), the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2 and the special figure 1 non-certain variation decoration lottery table TB3 can be determined according to the presentation modes M1 to M5 that are staying. The type of the decoration drawing and the probability that the specific decoration drawing is determined as the decoration drawing for which the fixed stop display is displayed are different. Therefore, the variation of the production | presentation by a decoration drawing (production design) can increase, and an interest can be improved. Moreover, when determining a decoration drawing with reference to the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2, there is a probability that a plurality of types of decoration drawings that are special effect designs are determined by the staying presentation modes M1 to M5. Since they are different (some of them have the same probability in the embodiment), they can be differentiated for each production mode, and interest can be improved.

  In a situation in which a variable state is given after the big hit game is over, a game is performed in a right-handed game form by the operation of the operation handle 16 by the player, whereby the game area 27 (second ball) of the game board 20 is played. The probability that a pachinko ball launched into the flow-down area 27b) will pass through the gate portion 48 is increased, and the chance of winning the pachinko ball at the second start winning opening 32 increases. Then, based on the winning information acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 32, the main control CPU 60a executes a big hit determination. If the result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the big hit symbol is displayed. It is determined. In addition, in the effect control CPU 65a, the decoration drawing lottery tables TB4, TB5, TB6, TB7, TB8 are selected according to the type of jackpot symbol (the type of special game state to be given) and the effect modes M1 to M5 that are staying. Is used to determine a decoration to be displayed in a fixed stop as a result of the symbol combination effect.

  Specifically, when the symbol c is determined as the jackpot symbol and either the effect pattern P4 per normal reach or the effect pattern P5 per super reach is determined as the effect pattern, the table for special drawing drawing lottery table TB6. The decoration drawing to be confirmed and stopped is determined with reference to FIG. In this separate decorative drawing lottery table TB6, as shown in FIG. 16, in any case where a decorative drawing is determined from the first to fifth effect design groups G1 to G5, only “7” of the decorative drawing is determined. It is like that. In other words, the combination symbol positions L, C, and R of the display device 17 are displayed with a combination of “7, 7, 7” regardless of the state of staying in any of the first to fifth effect modes M1 to M5. When the figure is displayed in a fixed stop state, it can be recognized that the pachinko machine 10 is awarded the jackpot game that is most advantageous to the player (the third jackpot game), and the decoration “7” is confirmed. It is possible to give a player great joy by displaying the stoppage.

  Further, when the symbol d is determined as the big hit symbol and either the effect pattern P4 per normal reach or the effect pattern P5 per super reach is determined as the effect pattern, the special figure 2 probability variation decoration drawing lottery table TB4. When the decoration figure to be confirmed and stopped is determined with reference to FIG. 5, the symbol e is determined as the jackpot symbol, and the effect pattern P4 per normal reach or the effect pattern P5 per super reach is determined as the effect pattern. The decoration drawing to be confirmed and stopped is determined with reference to the special figure 2 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB5. In the special figure 2 probability variation drawing lottery table TB4 and the special figure 2 uncertain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB5, as shown in FIGS. The type of the decoration drawing and the probability that the specific decoration drawing is determined as the decoration drawing for which the fixed stop display is displayed are different. Therefore, the variation of the production | presentation by a decoration drawing (production design) can increase, and an interest can be improved. In addition, when determining a decorative drawing with reference to the special drawing 2 probability variation decorative drawing lottery table TB4, there is a probability that a plurality of types of decorative drawings that are special effect designs are determined by the staying presentation modes M1 to M5. Since they are different (some of them have the same probability in the embodiment), they can be differentiated for each production mode, and interest can be improved.

  Here, in both the left-handed game form and the right-handed game form (in any case where a pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 31 or the second starting winning opening 32), the symbol is used as the jackpot symbol. When A and d are determined, the first or fourth jackpot game that is a probable large game is awarded after the symbol combination effect is completed. In this situation, when staying in the third effect mode M3 or the fifth effect mode M5, refer to the special figure 1 correct variation drawing lottery table TB2 or the special figure 2 probability change decoration lottery table TB4. When determining the decoration diagram, it is not possible to recognize whether or not there is a high probability that a probable big hit game will be given, that is, a second identification pattern (that is, an even number of decoration diagrams (“2”, “4”, “6”, “8”) may be determined. Therefore, even if an even number of decorations are displayed on the display device 17 as a result of the symbol combination effect, since the probability variation state is given after the big hit game is finished, the surprise is given to the fact that the probability variation state is imparted. Can improve. Note that, as described above, the player can recognize that the game has changed to the probable state after the big hit game, depending on the game state suggestion image (background image) displayed on the display device 17 and the pattern combination effect. Further, when the symbols B and e are determined as the jackpot symbols, the second or fifth jackpot game which is a non-probable large game is awarded after the symbol combination effect is completed. In this situation, when staying in the third effect mode M3 or the fifth effect mode M5, refer to the special figure 1 non-probable decorative drawing lottery table TB3 or the special figure 2 non-probable decorative drawing lottery table TB5. Then, when determining the decoration drawing, the first identification symbol that can recognize that there is a high possibility that a probable big hit game is given, that is, odd decoration drawings ("5", "9") is determined. there is a possibility. Therefore, even if an odd number of decorations are displayed on the display device 17 as a result of the symbol combination effect, since the probability variation state is not given after the big hit game is finished, the interest is improved by the effect different from the past. obtain.

  In the first effect mode M1, the second effect mode M2, and the fourth effect mode M4, the ornament corresponding to the type of the big hit game specified by the symbol determined by the main control CPU 60a is determined as the ornament that is determined and displayed. Is done. Specifically, when the symbols A and d corresponding to the confirmed jackpot game are determined as the jackpot symbol, an odd number of ornaments are determined as the ornaments to be confirmed and displayed, and the symbol corresponding to the non-probable variable jackpot game is determined. When B and e are determined as jackpot symbols, an even number of decorative drawings are determined as decorative drawings to be confirmed and displayed. On the other hand, in the third effect mode M3 and the fifth effect mode M5, a decoration that does not correspond to the type of jackpot game specified by the symbol determined by the main control CPU 60a is determined as a decoration that is determined and displayed. There is a case. Specifically, when the symbols A and d corresponding to the confirmed jackpot game are determined as the jackpot symbol, there is a possibility that an even number of ornaments may be determined as the ornaments to be confirmed and displayed, and the non-probable variable jackpot When the symbols B and e corresponding to the game are determined as the jackpot symbol, there is a possibility that an odd number of ornaments may be determined as a decorative symbol displayed in a fixed stop state. That is, in the first effect mode M1, the second effect mode M2, and the fourth effect mode M4, and in the third effect mode M3 and the fifth effect mode M5, the same type (even or odd number of decoration drawings) is displayed. Even when the fixed stop display is displayed on the device 17, the game state (special game state) given after the end of the jackpot game may be different, and the variation of the production can be increased and the entertainment can be improved.

  In the first effect mode M1, the second effect mode M2, the fourth effect mode M4, and the third effect mode M3 and the fifth effect mode M5, the same type (even or odd number of decorations) Even when the fixed stop display is displayed on the display device 17, the type of jackpot game given depending on the decorative figure (production symbol) displayed fixed stop may be different, so the interest of the game can be improved . Specifically, in the first effect mode M1, the second effect mode M2, and the fourth effect mode M4, when an odd decoration is displayed on the display device 17 with a fixed stop, a probability variation big hit game is given, In the case where the even-numbered decorative drawing is displayed on the display device 17 in a fixed stop state, the non-probable big hit game is given. When the fixed stop is displayed, the probability variation big hit game may be given, and when the odd decoration is displayed on the display device 17 with the fixed stop, the non-probable big hit game may be given.

  Here, among the odd numbers of decorative drawings, the decorative drawings “1” and “3” are displayed with reference to the special figure 1 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB2 or the special figure 2 certain variation decoration drawing lottery table TB4. While it can be determined only when it is determined, among the odd decorations, the decorations “5” and “9” are the special figure 1 uncertain decoration drawing lottery table TB3 or the special figure 2 uncertain variation. This can also be determined when the decoration drawing is determined with reference to the drawing lottery table TB5. That is, when the decorations “1” and “3” classified as the first special effect symbols are displayed on the display device 17 as being confirmed and stopped, the probability variation state is given without limitation after the big hit game. It is possible to improve the interest by raising the degree of attention to the decorative drawings “1” and “3”. On the other hand, when the decoration drawings “5” and “9” classified as the second special effect symbols are displayed on the display device 17 in a fixed stop state, the probability variation state is not granted or not given after the big hit game. In some cases, it is possible to change the production form that is uniform in the conventional pachinko machine 10 in which all odd-numbered decorations have been set as probabilistic symbols, and it is possible to improve the interest of the production.

  Next, the determination of the decoration when the symbols A and d or the symbols B and e are determined as the jackpot symbol and the promotion effect pattern P6 or the non-promotion effect pattern P7 is determined as the effect pattern will be described.

  When the symbols A and d are determined as the jackpot symbols, and the promotion effect pattern P6 is determined as the effect pattern, the effect control CPU 65a performs the temporary stop decoration diagram to be temporarily stopped and displayed on the display device 17. It determines with reference to table TB7 for 1st promotion decoration drawings. In this first promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), only even decoration drawings are set to be determinable, so any of the first to fifth effect symbol groups G1 to G5 can be determined. Even in the case of determining the decoration drawing from the group, the odd number decoration drawing (first identification symbol) that can recognize that there is a high possibility that the probable big hit game is given is not determined. Next, the effect control CPU 65a determines a fixed stop decoration to be displayed on the display device 17 with reference to the second promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB8. In this second promotion decorative drawing lottery table TB8, as shown in FIG. 17B, only odd decorative drawings are set to be determinable, so any of the first to fifth effect symbol groups G1 to G5 can be determined. Even in the case of determining a decorative drawing from the group, an odd number of decorative drawings (first identification symbol) capable of recognizing that there is a high possibility that a probable big hit game is given is determined.

  When the symbols B and e are determined as the jackpot symbol and the non-promotion effect pattern P7 is determined as the effect pattern, the effect control CPU 65a displays the temporary stop decoration on the display device 17 as a temporary stop display. As for the confirmed stop decorations to be confirmed and stopped on the display device 17, both are determined with reference to the first promoted decoration drawing lottery table TB7. As described above, in the first promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7, only even decoration drawings are set to be determinable, so the decoration drawings from any group of the first to fifth effect design groups G1 to G5. Even when determining the odd-numbered decorations (first identification symbol) that can be recognized that there is a high possibility that a probable big hit game will be awarded, Absent. That is, even if the decoration drawing is temporarily stopped and displayed on the display device 17, the type of the decoration drawing to be confirmed and stopped may be different, so that interest in the game can be attracted until the decoration drawing is displayed to be fixed and stopped. Moreover, in the 1st promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB7 and the 2nd promotion decoration drawing lottery table TB8, in each production | presentation symbol group G1-G5, ie, each production mode M1-M5, each of the several types of decoration drawing which can be determined. Since the determination probabilities are different from each other, the effects in each of the effect modes M1 to M5 can be diversified and the interest can be improved.

  When the effect control CPU 65a determines the type of the notice effect by the lottery for determining whether or not the notice effect can be executed, the effect control CPU 65a determines the notice effect execution timings F1 to F5 corresponding to the staying effect modes M1 to M5. The display device 17 is controlled so as to execute the kind of notice effect. The probability that the effect control CPU 65a determines the specific notice effect R1 as the notice effect varies depending on the types of the effect modes M1 to M5 that are staying as described above (see FIG. 18). For example, when staying in the first effect mode M1, even if a specific notice effect R1 is executed on the display device 17 during the symbol combination effect, the decoration drawing that is confirmed and stopped as a result of the symbol combination effect is displayed. The possibility of being the first special effect symbol or the special special effect symbol is 50%. On the other hand, when staying in the fifth effect mode M5, if a specific notice effect R1 is executed on the display device 17 during the symbol combination effect, the decoration that is confirmed and displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect. The possibility that the figure is the first special effect symbol or the special special effect symbol is 90%. As described above, when the specific notice effect R1 is executed, the probability that the first special effect symbol or the special special effect symbol that is the specific effect symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed depends on the types of the effect modes M1 to M5. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the development after the specific notice effect R1 is executed, and the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, since the type of the notice effect that can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a and the execution timing of the decided notice effect differ depending on the types of the effect modes M1 to M5 that are staying, the variety of effects is increased and the interest is improved. Can do.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when a jackpot display is displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect on the display device 17, a notification effect for notifying the type of jackpot game to be given is executed on the display device 17, The entertainment of the game can be improved by the notification effect. In addition, since the aspect of the notification effect varies depending on the staying effect modes M1 to M5, the entertainment of the game can be improved without the effect becoming monotonous. For example, when the first jackpot game is awarded, when the first effect mode M1 is staying, the notification effect H1-a is determined as the notification effect, while staying in the second effect mode M2. When it is, notification effect H2-a is determined as the notification effect .... When it is staying in the fifth effect mode M5, notification effect H5-a is determined as the notification effect. Thus, even if the same first jackpot game is given, the notification effect varies in the mode depending on the type of the effect modes M1 to M5 that are staying, so the variation of the notification effect increases. Can improve interest.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the specific variable display units 54A and 54B set in the display unit 17a of the display device 17, the corresponding special figure display units 50A and 50B are controlled under the control of the effect control CPU 65a and the display control CU 70a. During the special figure variation display at 50B, the 4th or 5th symbol is displayed in a variable state, and the special variable display units 54A, 54B display the first variable together with the suspension of the special figure variation display at the corresponding special figure display units 50A, 50B. The 4th or 5th symbol is stopped and displayed. The decoration drawing (second identification information) displayed on the display device 17 in a fixed stop state is displayed under different display conditions depending on the types of the presentation modes M1 to M5 that are staying as described above, but the specific variable display section 54A. , 54B 4th and 5th symbols (first identification information) are always displayed under the same conditions regardless of the types of the presentation modes M1 to M5 in which they are staying. That is, the display conditions of the fourth and fifth symbols (first identification information) on the specific variable display portions 54A and 54B do not change depending on the types of the effect modes M1 to M5. The display state of the special symbols on the special display portions 50A and 50B is easily achieved by the fourth and fifth symbols (first identification information) on the specific variable display portions 54A and 54B even if the display condition of the identification information) changes. Can be recognized. Furthermore, by changing the display conditions of the fourth and fifth symbols (first identification information), the player misunderstands the display status of the special symbols on the special display portions 50A and 50B and suffers a disadvantage. Can be prevented.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the power supply from the external power supply is cut off, a power-off signal is input from the power-off monitoring circuit 103 to the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a, and the main control CPU 60a and the effect control. The CPU 65a executes power-off processing based on the power-off processing program stored in the corresponding control RAM 60c, 65c. In this power-off process, power is supplied from the backup power source 107 of the power supply board 100 to the main control CPU 60c and the effect control CPU 65a, and each control CPU 60a, 65a is stored and held in the regular storage area of the corresponding control RAM 60c, 65c. The various control information is stored and held in the backup areas of the control RAMs 60c and 65c. When the reset signal is input from the reset signal circuit 106, each control CPU 60a, 65a regulates the operation of the control CPU 60a, 65a, and various information stored in the backup area by the power-off process is stored as backup data. Retained.

  When the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is started after the power supply from the external power supply is cut off, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a perform power-on processing stored in the corresponding control ROMs 60b and 65b. Based on the program, power-on processing (power recovery processing) is executed. In the power-on process, when the clear switch 102 is not operated, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a are configured to interrupt power supply based on various control information stored in the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c (before ).

  Here, in the power-on process (power recovery process) in which the clear switch 102 is not operated, the various control information stored and held in the main control RAM 60c and the effect control RAM 65c is not initialized. Accordingly, even when the power supply from the power supply circuit 105 to the main control RAM 60c and the effect control RAM 65c is cut off and the power-on process (recovery process) is executed at the time of subsequent power recovery, the main control RAM 60c and the effect control RAM 65c. Stores information related to the production mode that occurred when the power supply was cut off (before). That is, when the pachinko machine 10 returns to the power supply interruption (previous) state by the power-on process (recovery process), the effect control CPU 65a displays the decoration with the winning at the start winning ports 31, 32 as an opportunity. When determining, the decoration drawing is determined under the display conditions set in the effect mode stored in the effect control RAM 65c. In other words, depending on the power supply signal from the power-off monitoring circuit 103, the information stored in the effect control RAM 65c as the storage means can be retained without being initialized, so that information regarding the effect mode (display condition specifying state) is incorrect. After the power recovery, the decoration drawing (identification information) can be displayed on the display device 17 based on the display conditions of the effect mode stored in the effect control RAM 65c before the power is turned off.

(About the first alternative embodiment)
Next, a pachinko machine according to a first alternative embodiment will be described. Regarding the pachinko machine according to the first different embodiment, only the parts different from the pachinko machine 10 of the above-described embodiment will be described, and the same or similar members already described will be denoted by the same reference numerals. In the above embodiment, the decoration drawing lottery table that is referred to when the effect control CPU 65a determines the decoration drawing according to the type of jackpot symbol is different regardless of the gaming state, but in the first alternative embodiment, The decoration drawing lottery table to be referred to when determining the decoration drawing according to the current game state (game state when the start condition is established) is made different.

  In other words, in the first alternative embodiment, the decoration control ROM 65b is used as a decoration drawing lottery table in which the determination values for decorations are distributed to each decoration drawing, and the normal decoration that is referred to when determining decorations in a normal state. Drawing table TB10, probability variation / variable decoration drawing table TB11 to be referred to when determining decorations in the probability variation / shortening state and non-probability variation referred to when determining decorations in the non-probability variation / shortening state A variable ornament drawing lottery table TB12 (see FIG. 23) is stored.

(Regular decoration drawing lottery table TB10)
In the normal decorative drawing lottery table TB10, as shown in FIG. 23A, when determining a decorative drawing from the first effect design group G1, “0”, “2”, “4”, “ The ratios for determining “6” and “8” are 20%, respectively, and the ratios for determining “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” in the decorative drawings are each 0%. In this way, the decorative drawing determination values are distributed. In addition, when determining a decoration from the second effect design group G2, the percentages of “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” of the decoration are each 0%. The determination value for decoration drawing is set so that the ratios for determining “2” and “4” for decoration drawings are 30%, respectively, and the ratios for determining “6” and “8” for decoration drawings are 40% respectively. It is distributed. In addition, when determining a decorative drawing from the third effect design group G3, the ratios of “2” and “4” for the decorative drawing are 18%, respectively, and “3”, “5”, “ The determination value for decoration drawing is distributed so that the ratios for determining “7” and “9” are 0% respectively, and the ratios for determining “6” and “8” for decoration drawings are 32% respectively. . In addition, when determining a decoration from the fourth effect design group G4, the percentages of “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” of the decoration are each 0%. The determination value for decoration drawing is distributed so that the rate at which “4” of the decoration drawing is determined is 40% and the ratio at which “6” and “8” of the decoration drawing are determined is 30%. Furthermore, when determining a decorative drawing from the fifth effect design group G5, the percentages of “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9” of the decorative drawing are 0%, respectively. The decorative drawing determination values are distributed so that the ratios for determining “4” and “6” are 41%, respectively, and the ratios for determining “8” in the decorative drawing are 18%.

  Thus, in the case of determining a decoration drawing with reference to the normal decoration drawing lottery table TB10, the decoration drawing is determined from any of the effect design groups G1 to G5 of the first to fifth effect design groups G1 to G5. The odd-numbered decorative drawing (first identification symbol) that can recognize that the probability that the probability variation big hit game is likely to be given is high is not set. That is, in a situation where the game is played in the left-handed game form in the normal state, the first identification symbol is displayed on the display device 17 as a result of the symbol combination effect triggered by winning the first start winning port 31. The fixed stop is never displayed. In other words, if the result of the jackpot determination is positive and the first jackpot game is awarded when the winning to the first start winning opening 31 is triggered, the result of the symbol combination effect is an even number (second identification symbol). Even if the game is displayed in a definite stop state, it is large when the player recognizes that the probability change state is given after the big hit game is finished by the game state suggestion image (background image) displayed on the display device 17 or the like. You can get joy and improve your interest.

(Regarding the table TB11 for probability / variant drawing drawing)
In the probability variation / variable decoration drawing lottery table TB11, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), when the decoration drawing is determined from the first effect design group G1, the decoration drawing is determined from the first effect design group G1. In addition, the percentages of “0”, “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” in the decoration drawing are 0%, and “1”, “3”, “5”, The decorative drawing determination values are distributed so that the ratios at which “7” and “9” are determined are 20%. In addition, in the case of determining the decoration drawing from the second effect design group G2, the ratios of “1”, “5”, and “9” for the decoration drawing are 10%, respectively, and “2”, “ The determination value for decoration drawing is set so that the ratios for determining “4”, “6”, and “8” are 0% each, and the ratios for determining “3” and “7” for decoration drawings are 35% respectively. It is distributed. In addition, when the decoration drawing is determined from the third effect design group G3, the percentages of “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” of the decoration drawing are 0%, respectively. The determination value for decoration drawing is distributed so that the ratio of “3” and “7” is determined to be 40%, and the ratio of “5” and “9” of the decoration drawing is determined to be 10%. . In addition, when the decoration drawing is determined from the fourth effect design group G4, the ratio at which “1” of the decoration drawing is determined is 18%, and the ratio at which “3” and “7” of the decoration drawing are determined, respectively. At 25%, the percentages for determining “4”, “6”, and “8” for decoration drawings are 0% respectively, and the ratios for determining “5” and “9” for decoration drawings are 16% respectively. In this way, the decorative drawing determination values are distributed. Furthermore, when the decoration drawing is determined from the fifth effect design group G5, the percentage of the decoration drawing “3” determined is 18%, and the decoration drawing “4”, “6”, “8” is determined. For decorations so that the percentages for which "5" and "9" are determined are 16% and the ratio for "7" is 50%. The judgment value is assigned.

  As described above, in the case of determining a decoration drawing with reference to the probability variation / abbreviated decoration drawing lottery table TB11, the decoration drawing is selected from any of the effect design groups G1 to G5 of the first to fifth effect design groups G1 to G5. Even in the case of determination, it is set so that an even number of decorative figures (second identification symbols) that cannot be recognized whether or not the probability variation probability game is likely to be awarded are not determined. In other words, in a situation where a game is played in the right-handed game form in the probability variation / shortening state, the second identification symbol is displayed as a result of the symbol combination effect triggered by winning the second start winning opening 32. The fixed stop is not displayed on the device 17. In other words, depending on the type of jackpot game (fifth jackpot game) that is awarded with a positive result of winning the jackpot at the second start winning opening 32, the result of the symbol combination effect is an odd number (first game). Even if the identification symbol 1 is displayed in a definite stop state, there is a case where the certainty change state is not given after the jackpot game is ended, so that the game state suggestion image (background image) displayed on the display device 17 after the jackpot game is displayed. ) You can enjoy the big hit game with a sense of expectation for the type.

(About table TB12 for non-probabilistic / variable drawing drawings)
In the probability variation / variable decoration drawing lottery table TB12, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), when the decoration drawing is determined from the first effect design group G1, the decoration drawing is determined from the first effect design group G1. In addition, the percentages of “0”, “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” in the decoration drawing are 0% respectively, and the proportions in which “1” and “3” of the decoration drawing are decided. Is a decision value for decorations so that the ratio of “5” and “9” in the decoration drawing is 25% and the ratio of “7” in the decoration drawing is 18%. Is distributed. Further, when the decoration drawing is determined from the second effect design group G2, the proportion of the decoration drawing “1” determined is 5%, and the decoration drawings “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” ”Is determined at 0%, the decoration figure“ 3 ”is determined at 10%, the decoration figures“ 5 ”and“ 9 ”are determined at 30%, The decorative drawing determination values are distributed so that the rate at which “7” in the figure is determined is 25%. In addition, when the decoration drawing is determined from the third effect design group G3, the percentages of “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” of the decoration drawing are 0%, respectively. The determination value for decoration drawing is distributed so that the ratio at which “3” is determined is 10% and the ratio at which “3”, “7”, and “9” are determined is 30%. In addition, when determining a decoration from the fourth effect design group G4, the percentages of “1” and “3” in the decoration are 20%, and “4”, “6”, “ The rate at which “8” is determined is 0%, the rate at which “5” and “9” are determined is 15%, and the rate at which “7” is determined is 35%. In this way, the decorative drawing determination values are distributed. Furthermore, when the decoration drawing is determined from the fifth effect design group G5, the percentage of the decoration drawing “3” determined is 10%, and the decoration drawings “4”, “6”, and “8” are determined. The percentages for the decorations are 0%, the percentages for the decorations “5” and “9” are 25%, and the percentages for the decoration “7” are 40%. The judgment value is assigned.

  Thus, in the case where the decoration drawing is determined with reference to the non-probability / variable decoration drawing lottery table TB12, as in the case where the decoration drawing is determined with reference to the probability variation / variation decoration drawing lottery table TB11. In addition, in the case of determining the decorative drawing from any of the effect design groups G1 to G5 of the 1st to 5th effect design groups G1 to G5, it is impossible to recognize whether or not there is a high possibility that a probable big hit game is given. It is set so that an even-numbered decorative drawing (second identification symbol) is not determined. That is, in a situation where a game is played in the right-handed game mode in a non-probable change / short-change state, the second identification symbol is obtained as a result of the symbol combination effect triggered by winning a prize at the second start winning opening 32. A fixed stop is not displayed on the display device 17. In other words, depending on the type of jackpot game (fifth jackpot game) that is awarded with a positive result of winning the jackpot at the second start winning opening 32, the result of the symbol combination effect is an odd number (first game). Even if the identification symbol 1 is displayed in a definite stop state, there is a case where the certainty change state is not given after the jackpot game is ended, so that the game state suggestion image (background image) displayed on the display device 17 after the jackpot game is displayed. ) You can enjoy the big hit game with a sense of expectation for the type. Further, when the probability variation / variant ornament drawing lottery table TB11 is compared with the non-probability variation / variant ornament drawing lottery table TB12, the second identification symbol is obtained regardless of which decoration diagram lottery table TB11, TB12 is referred to. Although the decorative drawing to be classified is not determined, the probability that each decorative drawing classified as the first identification symbol is determined is different. The probability that the figure is displayed in a fixed stop varies depending on the gaming state, and the variation of performance can be increased to improve the interest.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the first alternative embodiment, a specific decorative drawing is displayed as a fixed stop display on the display device 17 as a result of the symbol combination effect according to the game state and the effect modes M1 to M5 that are staying. Since the types and probabilities are different, it is possible to differentiate each game state by giving a special feature, and the variation of the production can be increased and the interest can be improved.

Regarding the pachinko machine according to the third alternative embodiment, only the parts different from the pachinko machine 10 of the above-described embodiment will be described, and the same reference numerals will be given to the same or similar members already described.

  Here, when the big hit game ends, the rule (lucky number system) of whether to replace the pachinko ball owned by the player with a prize or to continue the game with the player owning the pachinko ball as it is There is an amusement store management system to be adopted. Then, as to whether to keep the ball or to change the ball, the effect symbol (identification information) that started the variable display with the start of the special figure variation display in the special figure display units 50A, 50B is the special figure. The special figure is determined to be stopped when the variable display is stopped, and is dependent on the type of stop display. The lucky number system will be described in detail. In the lucky number system, a lucky number that allows continuation of the holding ball and an unlucky number for changing the holding ball are determined. In the variable state), when the first big win is won (specifically, when the player wins the first big win after starting the game with the pachinko machine 10 decided by the player) If the winning number is the winning number, it is possible to continue using the possessed ball including the winning ball obtained by the jackpot game without exchanging, and the effect symbol displayed at the time of winning the subsequent jackpot will be As long as the number is other than the lucky number (the lucky number and other numbers other than the lucky number and the unlucky number), the holding ball continues. And in this continuation state, when an unlucky number is displayed as a production symbol at the time of winning a big hit, the continuation state of the sphere is ended and the holding ball is exchanged, and the big hit game in which the unlucky number is displayed. After the completion of, it is required to exchange all the possession balls.

  More specifically, if “3”, “5”, “7” are set as the lucky numbers and “4”, “6”, “8” are set as the unlucky numbers, In the state (non-probable / non-variable short state), if the winning symbol displayed when winning the big hit first is “3”, “5”, “7”, the holding ball continuation state is entered. In addition, the lucky number is often set to be displayed when a probable big hit game is awarded as a big hit game, and even if the probable change state and the short change state after the end of the big win game are held, The continuation state is maintained. In other words, the ball holding state is maintained even after the probability change state or the change state ends and the normal state is entered, and the effect symbol displayed when the big hit is won in this normal state is the unlucky number. If it is other than “4”, “6”, “8”, that is, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, the ball holding state continues. Maintained. In the normal state (non-probability change / non-change state), if the winning symbol that was won first is the lucky number, the probable change state or change given after the end of the jackpot game is displayed. Even if the effect symbol displayed when winning the big hit in the short state is an unlucky number, the holding ball continuation state is maintained. Then, if the production symbol displayed when winning the big hit in the normal state in the holding sphere state is an unlucky number, the corresponding big hit in which the holding continuation state ends and the unlucky number is displayed. You will have to exchange all your balls after the game is over. In other words, if the winning symbol that was won in the normal state (non-probable / non-variable short state) is the lucky number displayed in the probable big hit, it will be displayed when the big win is won before returning to the normal state The holding ball continuation state is continued regardless of the type of the effect decoration drawing. On the other hand, in the normal state (non-probability / non-variable short state), the effect symbols displayed when winning the big hit first are other than “3”, “5”, “7”, that is, including the unlucky number “ If it is “0”, “1”, “2”, “4”, “6”, “8”, “9”, the ball will be exchanged. After the big hit game, all balls will be exchanged. Is required. In other words, even if the first big win that was won in the normal state (non-probability change / non-change short state) was a probabilistic big win, if the displayed design is other than the lucky number, it will not be in the holding continuation state, It is necessary to exchange all the holding balls after the extended game in the certain change state or after the change state. Furthermore, even if the big win that was won first in the normal state (non-probable / non-variable state) is a promising big hit, if the displayed design is other than the lucky number, Even if the production symbol displayed when winning the big win is the lucky number, the production symbol displayed at the time of the first big hit is other than the lucky number, so it does not become the holding ball continuation state, in the probable state All balls must be exchanged after the end of the villa or after the change of state.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine of the third alternative embodiment, in addition to the display device 17 and the specific variable display parts 54A and 54B, the effect design (identification) is started along with the start of the special figure change display on the special figure display parts 50A and 50B. The special display device (display means) 110 (see FIG. 2) for lucky number control for variably displaying information) is provided, and the special display device 50A and 50B can perform variable display of effect symbols on the special display device 110. It is configured to display a fixed stop when the special figure fluctuation display stops. In the third alternative embodiment, a 7-segment display is used as the special display device 110, and the effect symbols to be variably displayed on the special display device 110 are "0" to "9" as in the previous embodiment. Ten kinds of decorations are set. Further, in the pachinko machine of the third alternative embodiment, “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9” among a plurality of types of decorative drawings displayed on the special display device 110 in a fixed stop manner. The odd numbered decorations of "" are classified into the first identification decorations (lucky numbers), and the even numbered decorations of "0", "2", "4", "6", "8" are classified into the second identification If it is classified into decorative drawings (unlucky numbers), and the first identification decorative drawing is displayed on the special display device 110, the holding ball is continued, and the second identification decorative drawing is displayed on the special display device 110. In such a case, the case where the ball is replaced will be described. In addition, about the decorations displayed on the special display device 110, when distinguishing from the decorations displayed on the display device 17, it may be called a special decoration drawing. Moreover, about the 1st identification decoration drawing and the 2nd identification decoration drawing, a part of odd-numbered or even-numbered decoration drawings may be sufficient.

(About special mode)
In a pachinko machine according to a third alternative embodiment, a plurality of types of special modes (display conditions) with different ratios determined as special decoration drawings to be confirmed and stopped are displayed for each special decoration figure to be confirmed and stopped on the special display device 110. Specific state, production mode) RM1 to RM5 are set. The effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) is configured to determine one special mode RM1 to RM5 from a plurality of types of special modes RM1 to RM5 when the mode change condition is satisfied. In the embodiment, five types of special modes of the first special mode RM1 to the fifth special mode RM5 are set, but the number of special modes is not limited to five, and can be set to any number. . In the pachinko machine according to the third alternative embodiment, the display of the special display device 110 is performed on condition that the control RAMs 60c and 65c are initialized by turning on the clear switch 102 when the power is turned on by the power switch 101. Is in a blinking state, and special modes RM1 to RM5 can be selected by operating an operation button provided in the pachinko machine in this state. Specifically, a change button and an enter button are set as the operation buttons, and “RM1” indicating that the first special mode RM1 is initially set when the display of the special display device 110 is in a blinking state. Is displayed on the special display device 110. Then, by operating the change button, the display of the special display device 110 is changed from “RM1” → “RM2” → “RM3” → “RM4” → “RM5”, and the display indicating the selected special mode is displayed. The selected special mode is set and stored in the effect control RAM 65c by operating the enter button in the state displayed at 110. That is, in the third alternative embodiment, establishment of a predetermined condition that triggers selection (change) of the special modes RM1 to RM5 is set to turn on the power switch 101 and the clear switch 102. The power switch 101 and the clear switch 102 are provided on the back side of the pachinko machine that cannot be operated by the player, and the selection (change) of the special modes RM1 to RM5 can be performed only by a store clerk. . As in the previous embodiment, in the third alternative embodiment, the special mode information stored in the effect control RAM 65c is initialized when the power is restored when the clear switch 102 is not turned ON. Rather, the game in the special mode that has already been set and stored can be continued.

(About the ratio of special decoration drawings in special modes RM1 to RM5)
The effect control CPU 65a is configured to execute a special decoration drawing lottery when the symbol designated by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command from the main control CPU 60a is a big hit symbol. Specifically, in the case of symbols A, c, and d to which a probability variation state is given after the big hit game, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to execute a special decoration drawing lottery. This special decoration drawing lottery is configured to determine a special decoration drawing to be confirmed and stopped on the special display device 110 using the special decoration drawing random number and the special decoration drawing determination value stored in the effect control ROM 65b. In the third alternative embodiment, a plurality of integer values are set as the special decoration drawing random numbers, and the effect control CPU 65a updates the special decoration drawing random numbers one by one at a predetermined cycle (4 ms). The later value is temporarily stored in the effect control RAM 65c, and the value before update is rewritten. The effect control ROM 65b stores a special decoration drawing lottery table TB13 (see FIG. 24) in which special decoration drawing determination values are distributed to the special decoration drawings. Then, the effect control CPU 65a acquires the special decoration random number when the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command for designating the decoration to be displayed as a jackpot is input, and the special decoration random number is acquired. Is compared with the special decorative drawing determination value set in the special decorative drawing lottery table TB13 to determine the type of the special decorative drawing.

  The distribution ratio of the special decoration drawing determination values in the special decoration drawing lottery table TB13 will be described for each special mode RM1 to RM5 with reference to FIG. When staying in the first special mode RM1, the special decoration drawing determination values are distributed so that the determination ratios of all the special decoration drawings are the same (10%). Further, when staying in the second special mode RM2, “3” and “7” are set to be approximately twice as easily determined as other special decoration drawings. Further, when staying in the third special mode RM3, “4”, “6”, and “8” are set to be approximately twice as easily determined as other special decoration drawings. Also, when staying in the fourth special mode RM4, an odd number of special decoration drawings is likely to be determined approximately twice as much as an even number of special decoration drawings, and when staying in the fifth special mode RM5, an even number of special decoration drawings It is set so that the decorative drawing is determined approximately twice as easily as the odd special decorative drawing. In addition, about the specific determination ratio of the odd number special decoration figure (lucky number) and the even number special decoration figure (unlucky number) in each special mode RM1-RM5, in the first special mode RM1, the odd special decoration figure Is set to 50% and even number of special decorations is set to 50%. In the second special mode RM2, the odd number of special decorations is set to 60% and the even number of special decorations is set to 40%. In the third special mode RM3, the number is odd. Special decoration drawing of 35% and even special decoration drawing is set to 65%. In the 4th special mode RM4, odd special decoration drawing is set to 70% and even special decoration drawing is set to 30%. In mode RM5, an odd number of special decoration drawings is set to 30% and an even number of special decoration drawings is set to 70%. Here, in the third alternative embodiment, in the case of symbols A, c and d to which a probable change state is given after the big hit game, the production control CPU 65a refers to the special decorative drawing lottery table TB13 to draw a special decorative drawing. In the case of symbols B and e where the probability variation state is not given after the big hit game, a second special decoration drawing lottery table to be referred to draw a special decoration drawing is set. In the case of symbols B and e, the special decoration drawing lottery can be executed with reference to the second special decoration drawing lottery table. In this case, the determination ratios of the odd special decoration drawings and the even special decoration drawings in the special decorative drawing lottery table TB13 and the second special decorative drawing lottery table are set to be different. Specifically, when the special decoration drawing is determined with reference to the special decoration drawing lottery table TB13, the odd number of specials is determined with reference to the second special decoration drawing lottery table. It is preferable to make the design easy to determine.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine of the third alternative embodiment, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) has a plurality of types triggered by the initialization process operation (ON operation of the power switch 101 and the clear switch 102). It has a function as mode determining means for determining one of the special modes RM1 to RM5. When the main control CPU 60a (main control board 60) as the judging means judges that the special game state (big hit game) is given, the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) as the effect symbol determining means is used as the display means. The ratio of determining the type of special decoration figure (effect design) displayed on the special display device 110 is stopped according to the type of special mode determined by the effect control CPU 65a (effect control board 65) as the mode determining means. Configured differently.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine according to the third alternative embodiment will be described. In the pachinko machine according to the third alternative embodiment, when the special modes RM1 to RM5 are changed, the power switch 101 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine is turned on and the clear switch 102 is turned on. Thereby, the display of the special display device 110 is in a blinking state, and the store clerk operates the change button so that the display corresponds to an arbitrary special mode, and the display corresponding to the target special mode is in the blinking state. By operating the button, the selected special mode is set and stored in the effect control RAM 65c.

  When the first special mode RM1 is set, the special decoration drawings are displayed equally. On the other hand, in the 2nd-5th special mode RM2-RM5, a specific special decoration drawing may be displayed unevenly, and differentiation can be performed for every special mode RM2-RM5. For example, in the second special mode RM2 and the fourth special mode RM4, the odd-numbered special decoration figure which is a special decoration figure that is a continuation of the holding ball is displayed about twice as easily as the even-numbered special decoration drawing, so There is a merit for the player who gets higher. On the other hand, in the third special mode RM3 and the fifth special mode RM5, since the even-numbered special decoration drawing which is a special decoration drawing for holding-ball exchange is displayed about twice as easily as the odd-numbered special decoration drawing, There is a merit for the amusement store when it gets higher. As described above, depending on the type of the special modes RM1 to RM5, the player has a merit or the game shop has a merit. Therefore, the special mode RM1 to RM5 to be set can be changed to obtain a special color. Specifically, if you want to appeal to the player when a new machine is introduced or a new store is opened, set the 2nd special mode RM2 or 4th special mode RM4, which has a high continuation rate, to attract customers. Can be raised. On the other hand, when it is desired to increase the gross profit of the game store, the third special mode RM3 or the fifth special mode RM5 having a high ball exchange rate is set. As described above, the pachinko machine according to the third alternative embodiment can correspond to various business forms of the amusement store by changing the special mode.

  Note that the special mode RM1 to RM5 can be adjusted by changing the special modes RM1 to RM5, so that the special modes RM1 to RM5 can be used also as a special ball output rate adjustment element other than the base. In addition, the adjustment of the pitching rate in the special modes RM1 to RM5 is difficult to understand at a glance, so it is advantageous when raising the gross profit of the game store without making the player understand. Here, the base (outcome rate) is the ratio of the number of prize balls (M) to the number of pachinko balls (N) that have been shot (injected) into the game area 27 in a normal state other than the big hit state M / N). More specifically, the number of pachinko balls that are driven into the game area 27 per unit time, and the pachinko balls win the first start winning port 31, the second starting winning port 32, and the normal winning port 46 during the unit time. It is the ratio of the number of prize balls that are paid out.

  Further, in the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment, as in the embodiment, in the power-on process in which the clear switch 102 is operated, the information stored in the effect control RAM 65c is initialized, so that the special mode Is set to the first special mode RM1 that is initially set, but in the power-on process in which the clear switch 102 is not operated, the storage information of the effect control RAM 65c is not initialized. The game can be continued in the special mode of the type set to.

  Here, in the pachinko machine according to the third alternative embodiment, when the special decoration drawing is fixedly stopped and displayed on the special display device 110, a special notification effect (notification effect) related to the special decoration drawing is displayed in the effect control. The display device 17 is configured to execute the special notification effect information stored in the ROM 65b. In this special notification effect, when the special decoration figure that is confirmed and stopped on the special display device 110 is a special decoration figure that will continue to hold the ball, the effect control CPU 65a causes the display device 17 to execute the special holding ball continuation special. A notification notification and a special notification effect for exchanging the ball that the effect control CPU 65a executes on the display device 17 when the special decoration diagram that is confirmed and stopped on the special display device 110 is a special decoration diagram that will be replaced by a ball. Is set. As the special notification effect for continuation of the holding ball, specifically, the character display of “You can continue using the ball” is displayed on the display unit 17 a of the display device 17, Is displayed on the display unit 17a of the display device 17 as “Please replace the ball”. That is, the player can recognize from the special notification effect displayed on the display device 17 whether the ball can be used continuously or needs to be replaced.

  In the pachinko machine according to the third alternative embodiment, the special display device 110 is separate from the special mode in which the special decoration drawing is determined according to the distribution ratio of the special decoration drawing determination value set in the special decoration drawing lottery table TB13. It is possible to set a specific special mode in which the determination ratio of the special decoration drawing changes depending on the type of the special decoration drawing displayed on the screen. For example, until the special decoration drawing “3” or “7” is displayed, the determination ratio of the odd special decoration drawing including “3” and “7” is 20%, but “3” or “7” Until the special decoration drawing of “4” is displayed after the special decoration drawing of “4” is displayed, the determination ratio of the odd special decoration drawing changes to 80%, and the special decoration drawing of “4” is displayed. The specific special mode set so as to return to the initial setting (the determination ratio of odd special decoration drawings is 20%) can be set. In addition, the change of the decision ratio of the special decoration drawing in the specific special mode sets a plurality of specific special decoration drawing lottery tables with different distribution ratios of the determination value for the special decoration drawing, and changes the decision ratio of the special decoration drawing This can be realized by changing the type of the special special drawing drawing lottery that determines the special decorative drawing under the condition that the special decorative drawing of the type that becomes an opportunity is displayed on the special display device 110. Specifically, when the specific special mode is set, the effect control CPU 65a sets the odd-numbered special decoration figure determination ratio to 20% until the special decoration figure “3” or “7” is displayed. The special control drawing is determined with reference to the first special design drawing lottery table, and the effect control CPU 65a determines an odd number of special design drawings under the condition that the special display of “3” or “7” is displayed. The special decoration drawing is determined with reference to the second special decoration drawing lottery table with the ratio set to 80%, and the effect control CPU 65a performs the first control under the condition that the special decoration drawing of “4” is displayed. The special decoration drawing is determined with reference to the specific special decoration drawing lottery table. In addition, the numerical value of the determination ratio at which the determination ratio of the special decoration drawing changes is an example, and can be set to an arbitrary numerical value, and the type of the special decoration drawing that triggers the change of the special decoration drawing determination ratio is also arbitrary Can be set to In addition, all special modes are designated as special special modes, and the type of special decoration drawing that triggers changing the decision ratio of the special decoration drawing and the numerical value of the decision ratio that changes the decision ratio of the special decoration drawing for each specific special mode. It may be set to change.

(About changes)
The configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to that shown in the above-described embodiment or another embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, the following can be adopted.
(1) In the embodiment, the mode change condition (satisfaction of the predetermined condition) is set when the big hit game is ended and the grant period of the variable state is ended, but the mode change condition is also set when the power is turned on. Good. That is, when a designation command corresponding to power-on is input from the main control CPU to the effect control CPU, the effect control CPU acquires the effect mode random number, and the effect mode random number and the effect mode lottery table effect mode The production mode can be determined by comparing with the judgment value. In addition, a mode change condition can be set when a specific winning game such as a small hit is given.
(2) In the embodiment, the effect mode is determined by the lottery process by the effect control CPU included in the pachinko machine. However, a configuration in which the effect mode can be determined by the player's button operation may be adopted. That is, the operation mode of the operation button provided on the pachinko machine that can be operated by the player is set, and the effect mode selection display effect of the contents that can be recognized that the effect mode can be selected on the display device in the operation effective period Configure to display. Then, when the production mode is selected by operating the operation button during the operation effective period, the selected production mode is set and stored in the production control RAM, and thereafter, based on the production mode set and stored in the production control RAM. The effect control CPU may determine the decoration drawing. Regarding the determination of the effect mode, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the determination by the lottery process by the effect control CPU and the determination by the operation of the operation button by the player are individually provided or a combination of both.
(3) In the embodiment, the type of decoration set for the production group corresponding to each production mode is different, but it can be selected from the types of decorations common to all production modes. You may make it the determination ratio of a figure differ for every production mode. In addition, the type of decoration set set for the production group corresponding to each production mode may be different, and the determination ratio of each decoration drawing may be common to each production mode.

(4) The selection ratio of the production mode can be set differently depending on the gaming state. That is, when the mode change condition is satisfied in the normal state, the probability variation / variation state, or the non-probability variation / variation state, it is possible to set so that the ratio when selecting one from a plurality of effect modes is different. For example, the selection ratio of the first effect mode is 20% in the normal state, the selection ratio of the first effect mode is 30% in the probability variation / shortening state, and the selection ratio in the first effect mode is 40% in the non-probability variation / shortening state. It can be like this.
(5) In the embodiment, the case where one kind of effect symbol group corresponding to each effect mode is set has been described. However, for each effect mode, different effect symbol groups that can be selected for each effect mode are assigned to each game. It is possible to adopt a configuration that is set according to the state and selects a decoration from an effect design group corresponding to the staying effect mode and game state.
(6) In the embodiment, the decorative drawing lottery table for selecting the decorative drawing is different depending on the type of jackpot symbol (the type of jackpot game, the type of special game state to be granted), and in the first alternative embodiment, The decorative drawing lottery table for selecting a decorative drawing differs depending on the type of gaming state (the type of gaming state at the time when the starting condition is determined to be granted a special gaming state). The configurations of the embodiment and the first alternative embodiment can be combined. That is, for each gaming state, a decoration drawing lottery table with different types and selection ratios of selectable decorations can be set for each type of jackpot symbol.
(7) If the decorative figure that was won on the promising jackpot and was confirmed and stopped on the display device was the second identification symbol, the winning jackpot game was a promising jackpot game as a jackpot effect during the jackpot game. That is, it is possible to execute an effect for notifying that the probability variation state is given after the big hit game.
(8) The ratio at which execution of a specific notice effect is determined can be made different depending on the type of game state as well as whether or not a specific decorative drawing is determined.

(9) In the second alternative embodiment, the effect mode can be changed on condition that the specific area entrance detection sensor detects the pachinko ball won in the special special prize opening opened and closed by the special opening and closing member. The winning opening that becomes an opportunity to change the production mode may be a winning opening that is always open to the game area. In this way, if the prize opening is always open, the player can change the presentation mode according to the player's will by launching the pachinko ball into the game area aiming for the prize opening. Can be improved.
(10) In the third alternative embodiment, the types that can be determined as the special decoration drawings to be confirmed and stopped in each special mode have been described in the same case, but can be determined as the special decoration drawings to be confirmed and stopped in each special mode. You may make it change a kind and number.
(11) In the third alternative embodiment, odd-numbered special decorations are used for holding balls and even-numbered special decorations are used for holding balls. You may set so that the kind of decoration drawing may differ. For example, in the second special mode, an odd number of special decorations is a sphere continuation and an even number of special decorations is a sphere exchange, whereas in the third special mode, an odd number of special decorations is a sphere exchange and an even number. Let's make sure that the special decoration of the ball is continuation of the ball. Thus, interest can be improved by making the meaning which a special decoration drawing has differ with the kind of special mode.
(12) Also in the third alternative embodiment, as described in (2) above, the special mode is determined by the lottery process by the effect control CPU, or the special mode is determined by the operation of the operation button by the player. A configuration may be employed. When the special mode is determined by the lottery process of the effect control CPU, it is preferable that the determination ratio of each special mode is different. In addition, when the player can select a special mode, the player can select a special mode only when a specific winning game is won, and the special mode selected by the player Will continue for a certain period (number of symbol combination effects, etc.) and then return to the special mode set by the game store so that the player will not continue to benefit for a long time Is recommended.
(13) In the third alternative embodiment, a 7-segment display is used as the special display device. As the special display device, the numbers formed by the light transmission portions on the liquid crystal display device and the panel are displayed on the back side. Various display devices such as an illumination panel that displays when lit can be adopted.
(14) In the third alternative embodiment, the special decoration drawing is configured to be displayed on the special display device provided separately from the display device, but an area for displaying the special decoration drawing is set on the display unit of the display device, It is possible to adopt a configuration in which special decoration drawings are variably displayed in the area.
(15) In the third alternative embodiment, the ratio of the odd special decoration drawings and the even special decoration drawings in each of the special modes RM1 to RM5 is determined in the order of the first special mode RM1 to the fifth special mode RM5. Can be set such that the ratio of odd-numbered special decoration drawings is increased.
(16) In the third alternative embodiment, the lottery for determining the special decoration drawing with reference to the special decoration drawing lottery table is executed corresponding to the special drawing fluctuation display (when the start condition is satisfied) each time. Or a special drawing drawing lottery (for example, the second special drawing drawing lottery table) for the special drawing drawing corresponding to the special drawing changing display after the next time. It is possible to adopt a configuration such as a special decoration drawing lottery table or the like that is determined with reference to a table with a different odd-numbered special decoration drawing and even-numbered special decoration drawing determination table from the special decorative drawing lottery table TB13.
(17) The configuration of the third alternative embodiment can be combined with the configuration of the embodiment and other alternative embodiments. Also, it goes without saying that the modified example of the third alternative embodiment can be combined with the configuration of the embodiment and other alternative embodiments. For example, as shown in (16) above, the lottery for determining the special decoration drawing with reference to the special decoration drawing lottery table is executed only for the first special drawing variation display in the normal state, and the special drawing from the next time onward. About the lottery of the special decoration drawing corresponding to a figure fluctuation display, you may combine the example of a change, such as using another special decoration drawing lottery table, and the structure of another Example. In the configuration of the embodiment, the decorative figures that can be determined in each production mode (production symbol group) are the lucky numbers (for example, odd numbers) described in the third example and the unlucky numbers (for example, even numbers). It is possible to determine whether to keep the ball or to change the ball according to the type of decoration displayed on the display means in each effect mode. In addition, about the decoration drawing (lucky number, the first identification decoration drawing) that keeps the ball, it is not limited to the type of decoration corresponding to the jackpot game to which a probable change state is given after the jackpot game ends, and is arbitrarily determined be able to. In addition, with respect to “7”, which is an effect symbol as a lucky number, when a big hit is made with the effect symbol “7”, the holding ball is continued regardless of the type of the effect symbol displayed at the time of winning the big hit. It can be an unlimited lucky number. In addition, in the embodiment or another embodiment, the determined presentation mode or special mode may not be recognized from the type of the presentation displayed on the display device, or the determined presentation mode or special mode may not be recognized. The suggestion effect to be suggested may be executed on the display device at an appropriate timing.
(18) In each embodiment, the determination ratio (probability) of each decoration drawing set in each decoration drawing lottery table referred to when determining the decoration drawing is an example, and the determination ratio is arbitrarily set Of course, it can be changed.

(19) The sub-control means (production control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the functions of the main control means (main control CPU) in the embodiment or another embodiment, and conversely the sub-control means. The main control means may be provided with all or part of the functions. In the embodiment and another embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (effect control board) are provided separately, but a single control board may be used. That is, the functions of the main control means and the sub control means in the embodiments and other embodiments may be provided in a control means (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 the sub-control means of the embodiments and other embodiments may be provided in another control means.
