In the embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned basic decorative drawing that is variably displayed on the effect display unit 17, it is set so that a special decorative drawing (special symbol) can be displayed, and the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row is set. Any of the above (for example, the effective stop position of the middle symbol row) is displayed in a fixed stop manner so that it can be recognized that a predetermined big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing that can recognize the possibility of the occurrence of the jackpot game becomes the jackpot suggestion display displayed on the effect display unit 17. On the other hand, if even one of the symbols in all the columns that are confirmed and stopped displayed at the effective stop position 27 of the effect display unit 17 is of a different type, the symbol combination (for example, “123”, “734”, “171”, etc.) ), In principle, it can be recognized that the game is “out of play” where no big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decorative drawing that can recognize the detachment becomes the detachment display of the effect display unit 17. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as a trigger for executing a predetermined effect (for example, a predetermined jackpot game) among the symbol combinations in which all three rows of decorative drawings are not the same. A specific symbol combination means that a player can recognize or associate some kind of law or meaning from the symbol combination. Specific examples of specific symbol combinations include symbol combinations in which three rows of decorative symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order (for example, “123” and “321”), and left and right symbol rows 26a and 26b. Are the same, and the symbol combination of the right symbol column 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 pattern that can be selected not only as a disappointing display result but also as a jackpot display result.

  Further, in the symbol variation 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 in a temporarily stopped display state, and the decorations are stopped in the remaining symbol rows (middle symbol row 26b). After the display (temporary stop display), the decorations of all the symbol sequences are displayed in a fixed stop display.

  The effect display unit 17 displays a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the displayed special figure as a result of the special figure variation display performed by the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B. Is done. That is, the special figure displayed on the first special figure display part 50A and the second special figure display part 50B and the symbol combination of the decorative picture displayed on the effect display part 17 correspond to each other, and the symbol variation effect is provided. When the process is completed, 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 effect display unit 17. It is like that. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration figure is selected from among the symbol combinations by a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol. Yes.

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 based on the fact that the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2) that is confirmed and stopped is a predetermined probability variation symbol (specific symbol). This is a function for giving a probability change state in which the probability is changed from a low probability (219/65536 in the embodiment) to a high probability (441/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state to which a probability variation state is not assigned is referred to as a non-probability variation state. In the embodiment, the jackpot to which the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game ends is the probability variation jackpot, and the jackpot to which the probability variation state is not imparted is the non-probability variation jackpot. In this way, when the probability variation state is given, the probability of winning the jackpot will fluctuate with a high probability and the jackpot game is likely to occur, so the probability variation state is advantageous for the player, and the player will be the probability variation jackpot. Playing games while expecting. In addition, in the embodiment, in the case of a big hit game to which a probability variation state is given, after the big hit game is finished, the probability variation state is continuously given until a predetermined number of symbol variation effects (special figure variation display) is executed. Is done. In the embodiment, after the big hit game is finished, the probability variation state is continuously given until 200 symbol variation effects (special symbol variation display) are executed. The period during which the probability variation state is given is not limited to the above. For example, it is possible to continue to give a certain probability state after the probability variation state is given until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to shift to the non-probability variation state on condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The probability variation state may be continuously given until the big hit game is generated. Also, whether to shift to the uncertain change state for each symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is determined based on a random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start winning means (falling lottery), and falls into the falling lottery It is also possible to shift to a non-probable change condition on the condition of winning.

(About variable state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a function of giving a second privilege game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as a 2nd privilege game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the said 2nd start winning opening 31 increases compared with the state (1st game state) where the said 2nd privilege game state is not provided. The winning rate is improved. Specifically, in the 2nd award gaming state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the normal map change display, (2) changing the probability per base map from low probability to high probability, (3) once per base map By increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 33 that opens the second start winning opening 31, it is possible to increase the chance of winning a pachinko ball to the second starting winning opening 31. In the second privilege gaming state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 33 for opening the second start winning port 31 for one time per usual figure, it may be realized by simply extending the opening time of the opening / closing member 33. It can also be realized by increasing the number of times of opening 33, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second privilege gaming state is referred to as a shortened state, and the shortened state in the embodiment 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 balls to the second start winning opening 31 is improved.

  That is, in the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal map change display performed on the general map display unit 55 in the non-changed state is set to 5000 ms, and the change of the normal map change display performed on the general map display unit 55 in the variable state. The time is set to either 600 ms or 1500 ms, which is shorter than the non-changeable state, and the change time of the normal figure change display performed in the normal view display unit 55 is shortened with the provision of the changeable state. ing. In addition, the probability per base figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (1125/65536 in the embodiment), and the probability per base figure in the variable state is set to a high probability (65535/65536 in the embodiment). It is set, and the probability per universal figure varies from a low probability to a high probability with the provision of the variable state. In the embodiment, the interval between the time when the normal map is confirmed and stopped and the next normal map change is performed (the normal map change interval) is set to 500 ms.

  In the state where the variable state is applied, the opening / closing member 33 is opened and closed with an operation pattern different from the state where the variable state is not applied. Specifically, in a state in which the variable state is not given, when a win is selected in the normal map display (in the case of a normal map), a predetermined time (300 ms in the embodiment) has elapsed after the opening / closing member 33 is opened. An opening operation is performed once to maintain the opening state until the time has elapsed. On the other hand, in a state in which the variable state is given, when the normal map change display is won (in the case of the normal map), a predetermined time (1800 ms in the embodiment) elapses after the opening / closing member 33 is opened. The opening operation for maintaining the open state is performed three times. That is, in the state where the variable state is given, the total opening time of the opening and closing member 33 is longer than in the state where the variable state is not given, and it is set to operate advantageously for the player. . In addition, a maximum number of winnings (10 in the embodiment) that allows a winning to the second start winning award 31 is set per one ordinary figure, and the number of winnings after opening the opening / closing member 33 is set. The opening / closing member 33 is closed when the upper limit number of winnings (closing condition) is reached.

  In the embodiment, the number of changes to which a change state is given (hereinafter referred to as the number of changes) is changed according to the gaming state at the time of winning the determination per special figure. Specifically, the number of fluctuations to which the variable state is given (hereinafter referred to as the number of variable times) is changed in accordance with the type of jackpot symbol (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2). Specifically, the probability variation state is given when the type of jackpot symbol (special symbol 1 or special symbol 2) is a predetermined symbol (symbol B, symbol c, symbol d described later in the embodiment). The number of times of change (200 in the embodiment) is set so that the change state is continuously given. In addition, when the type of jackpot symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is another predetermined symbol (symbol f which will be described later in the embodiment), the probability variation state grant period (200 times in the embodiment) The number of times of change (100 times in the embodiment) is set so that a short change state is given. In addition, when the type of the jackpot symbol (Special Fig. 1 or Special Fig. 2) is a predetermined specific symbol (symbol A or symbol E described later in the embodiment), it is given according to the gaming state at the time of the big hit. It is set to change the number of times of change. Specifically, in the embodiment, the number of times of change is set to be 33 times, 100 times, or 200 times according to the gaming state at the time of the big hit. Here, the condition for granting the variable state is determined for each type of jackpot game (big hit symbol).

This is temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c in response to the winning of the pachinko ball (more specifically, the first starting winning detection sensor 34 or the second starting winning detection sensor 35 detects the pachinko ball). The main control CPU 60a obtains each random number at the same timing. Each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 is the same as each random number acquired when the pachinko ball wins the second start winning opening 31 Are used in common, and the main control CPU 60a acquires random numbers corresponding to the winning timings to the start winning ports 30, 31.

  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 47 (more specifically, the gate sensor 48 detecting the pachinko ball). ing. Here, as the random numbers that the main control CPU 60a acquires upon the detection of the gate sensor 48, various random numbers such as a random number for determining a normal figure and a random number for determining a normal pattern variation pattern are set. 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 in accordance with the timing at which the detection signal of the sensor 48 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 48 is temporarily stored in a predetermined map storage area (storage area) of the main control RAM 60c as the 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 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 special figure hit determination value indicating that a big hit game is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The determination value per special figure is a determination value used for determining whether or not a big hit is made using the random number for determination per special figure (determination per special figure). A predetermined number of determination values are defined from 65536 integers up to “65535”. When the random number for determination per special figure matches the determination value per special figure, it is determined as a hit, and when the random number for determination per special figure does not match the determination value per special figure, it is determined as a deviation. Here, the determination value per special figure differs depending on whether or not the above-described probability variation state is given at the time of determination per special figure. Specifically, the number of determination values per special figure (441 in the embodiment) set in the probability variation state is the number of determination values per special figure (219 in the embodiment) set in the non-probability variation state. More). That is, a big hit game is likely to occur by increasing the number of determination values per special figure in the probability variation state.

  The main control ROM 60b stores special figure determination values. The determination value for special figure determination is the special figure 1 or 2 as a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A when the result of the special figure determination is affirmative (in the case of a positive determination result). 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. In this embodiment, the special figure determination value is set to an integer value of “0” to “100” corresponding to the 101 types of special figure determination random numbers described above. Special figure 1 and special figure 2 are associated with each value individually.

  In addition, an effect execution determination value (reach determination value) is stored in the main control ROM 60b. The effect execution determination value is a reach effect or the like that suggests the possibility that a win display is displayed on the effect display unit 17 when the result of the hit determination (determination per special figure) is negative (in the case of a determination result of losing). This is a determination value used in the performance execution determination (reach lottery) to determine whether or not to execute the performance, and is determined from 239 different integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the random number for determining the performance execution. ing. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines that an effect such as a reach effect is to be executed when the value of the obtained effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value.

  The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns for specifying the fluctuation contents, and special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination values are stored corresponding to the special figure fluctuation patterns. Here, the special figure variation pattern is the content of the effect executed between the start of the first special diagram variation display or the second special diagram variation display and the fixed stop display (the display effect associated with the symbol variation effect). Content, which is a basic base of the operation mode of the light emission effect mode and the sound effect mode) is specified. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time (design fluctuation 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. The special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value is a determination value used for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern using the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined determination value is assigned to each special figure fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation pattern to which the special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random number is assigned is specified.

  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 1125) are set. In other words, by increasing the number of determination values per common map in the variable state, it is easy for the normal map to occur.

  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 decision value is assigned to each universal pattern variation pattern, and the universal map variation pattern to which the universal variation pattern distribution determination value corresponding to the acquired random number for distribution of the common diagram variation is assigned is the main. It is specified by the control CPU 60a. Here, the decision value for determining the usual figure variation pattern is determined depending on whether the gaming state at the time of making the decision per ordinary figure is the variable state or the non-variable state, and the number and number of assigned common figure fluctuation patterns. Are different. Specifically, in the embodiment, in the non-variable short state, a common figure fluctuation pattern determination value is assigned to one common figure fluctuation pattern, and a normal time figure that defines a fluctuation time (for example, 5000 ms) for a predetermined time. Whereas the variation pattern is determined, a decision value for determining the general variation pattern is assigned to multiple (two in the embodiment) general variation patterns in the variable state, and each normal variation pattern is assigned. Of the normal figure fluctuation pattern that defines a fluctuation time of a predetermined time (for example, 600 ms) and a different fluctuation time (for example, 1500 ms) at a ratio according to the number of assigned decision values for determining the normal fluctuation pattern for One of the common map fluctuation patterns is determined.

  Here, the effect control ROM 65b stores an effect pattern for specifying the specific effect contents of the symbol variation effect executed in the symbol variation effect. The effect pattern is associated with the special figure variation pattern, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the corresponding effect pattern based on the special figure variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. The effect pattern is not associated with the special figure variation pattern in a one-to-one relationship, and a plurality of effect patterns are associated with one special figure variation pattern. Further, in the effect pattern, the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol display row 26a, 26b, 26c is determined in the symbol variation effect, and the decorative drawing is stopped in each column according to the stop timing determined by the effect pattern. At the same time, an appropriate sound effect is output from the speaker 19 in accordance with the stoppage of the decoration drawing, or the light emitting decoration 18 emits light appropriately.

A display control ROM 70b and a display control RAM 70c are connected to the display control CPU 70a. An effect display unit 17 is connected to the display control board 70 (display control CPU 70a). In the display control ROM 70b, a display control program for controlling the display contents of the effect display unit 17 is stored. The display control ROM 70b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The display control RAM 70c stores (sets) various types of information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko machine 10.

(Regarding control processing on the main control board 60)
Next, a special figure 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 30 (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 34 corresponding to the first start winning opening 30 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 first special figure start hold information hold number <4), the number of hold of the first special figure start hold information 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 (the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for effect execution determination, and the value of various random numbers such as the random number for distribution of special figure variation pattern). Is read by the main control CPU 60a and the winning information (random number value) is set as a first special figure start holding information (first winning start hold information) in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds. (Step A14). Thereby, the process proceeds to step A15.

  In Step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won the second start winning opening 31. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 35 corresponding to the second start winning opening 31 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 main control CPU 60a ends the special figure input process.

  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 (the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for special figure determination, the value of random number for effect execution determination, and the value of various random numbers such as the random number for distribution of special figure variation pattern). Is read by the main control CPU 60a, and the winning information (random number value) is set as a second special figure starting hold information (second winning start hold information) in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holds. (Step A18). Thereby, the special figure input process is terminated. Thereafter, the main control CPU 60a executes a prefetch notice process (step A19), and the special figure input process is terminated.

(Special drawing start process)
Next, the special figure start process will be described with reference to FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special figure start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special figure starting process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is variably displayed in the special figure display units 50A and 50B and the effect display unit 17 or is in the big hit game. (Step B11). If the determination result of step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special figure start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of holds in the second special figure start hold information is read (step B12), and whether the number of hold in the second special figure start hold information is greater than “0”. Is determined (step B13). If the determination result of step B13 is negative (if the number of second special figure start hold information hold = 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. The main control CPU 60a also stores the special chart stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c if the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of the second special figure start hold information> 0). A value “1” indicating that the second special figure variation effect is executed is set in the variation processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a decrements the hold number of the second special figure start hold information by 1 (step B14) and stores the second special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the hold number. Figure start hold information (Random value for judgment per special figure, Random value for determining special figure, Random value for performance execution judgment and random number values such as random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution) The main control CPU 60a obtains the starting start hold information (step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a obtains the second special figure start hold information storing the second change start start hold information earliest from the first special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information is stored. That is, the main control CPU 60a reads the second variation start start hold information 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 variation start start hold information are acquired by the process of step B15, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a determines that the acquired random number for determination per special figure is the main control ROM 60b. A special figure determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the determination value per special figure stored in (Step B22). As described above, the probability that the judgment result of the special figure determination is affirmative (that is, the big hit probability) in the non-probable change state (low probability) is set to 219/65536. The probability (big hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative when the probability is high) is set to 441/65536. If the determination result of the special figure determination in step B22 is affirmative (when a big hit occurs), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the big hit is changed (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). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol of the special figure 2, the main control CPU 60 a displays the special figure 2 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. By determining, the jackpot symbol will be determined. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state to “1” after the end of the big hit game when the symbol pattern is a large bonus symbol that gives a probability variation state, and the main control CPU 60a The probability variation flag is set to “0”. Also, if the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol that gives a variable state, set the variable flag indicating the variable state to "1" after the jackpot game ends, and if the jackpot symbol does not give a variable state Set the variable flag to "0". The variable flag is set to “0” when the variable condition end condition is satisfied. When the big hit symbol (special symbol) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special symbol variation pattern from the special symbol variation pattern for winning based on the value of the random number for special symbol variation pattern distribution ( Step B25).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the special figure determination in step B22 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. Perform (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 at step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a displays the off symbol that is confirmed and stopped on the second special figure display 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, which has determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 2) in steps B25, B29, and B31, outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the 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 gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

  On the other hand, if the determination result of step B13 is negative (the number of holdings of the second special figure starting hold information = 0), the number of holdings of the first special figure starting holding information is read (step B16), It is determined whether the number of holds in the figure start hold information is larger than “0” (step B17). When the determination result of step B17 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special figure stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. A value “0” indicating that the first special figure variation effect is executed is set in the processing flag. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special figure start hold information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special figure start hold information. The main control uses the special figure determination random number value, the special figure determination random number value, the production execution determination random number value, and the special figure variation pattern distribution random number value as the first variation start start hold information. The CPU 60a obtains (step B19), and then performs a hit determination process. 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 31 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the first start winning opening Even if the first special figure start hold information acquired with the winning of 30 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special figure start hold information is preferentially executed. It has become.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a obtains the first special figure storage area in which the second special figure start hold information that stores the first change start start hold information earliest is stored. That is, the main control CPU 60a reads the first change start start hold information 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 52 so as to correspond to the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers are acquired as the first variation start start hold information by the process of step B19, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines that the acquired random number for special figure determination is the main control ROM 60b. A special figure determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the determination value per special figure stored in (Step B32). As described above, the probability that the judgment result of the special figure determination is affirmative (that is, the big hit probability) in the non-probable change state (low probability) is set to 219/65536. The probability (big hit probability) that the determination result is affirmative when the probability is high) is set to 441/65536. If the determination result of the special figure determination in step B32 is affirmative (when 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). ). Here, since the value of the special figure determination random number is associated with the jackpot symbol for each special figure 1, the main control CPU 60a displays the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number value. The jackpot symbol is determined by determining. Further, the main control CPU 60a sets a probability variation flag and a variation flag indicating the gaming state after the big hit game specified by the big hit symbol according to the determined big hit symbol after the big hit game. When the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern from the special figure fluctuation pattern for winning based on the value of the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution. (Step B35).

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the special figure 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. Perform (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 having determined the special figure variation pattern and the final stop pattern (special figure 1) in steps B35, B39, and B41 outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 65 at a predetermined timing ( Step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a outputs a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the special figure fluctuation pattern and instructing the start of the symbol fluctuation, and starts measuring the fluctuation time specified by the special figure fluctuation pattern. To do. At the same time, the main control CPU 60a controls the first special figure display 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 gives an instruction to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the changing time set in the specified special drawing changing pattern, and outputs an all-symbol stop command for displaying a fixed stop of the symbol combination. . When the end condition of the variable state is satisfied, a variable end command is output.

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

(Regarding the production control board 65 control process)
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 variation effect based on the special diagram variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and designates the determined effect pattern. The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the light emission control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like. When the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is input, the production control CPU 65a displays each symbol row 26a, which is finally stopped and displayed on the production display unit 17 in accordance with the special symbol stop symbol designation corresponding to the command. The decorative drawings of 26b and 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 of 26c is determined.

  The effect control CPU 65a sets the probability variation information flag and the variation information 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 special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation or special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the probability variation state is assigned, the probability variation information flag indicating the probability variation state is set to “1”. ”And the probability variation information flag is set to“ 0 ”when the jackpot symbol corresponding to the probability variation state is not applied. In addition, when the special figure 1 or special figure 2 specified by the special figure 1 designation or special figure 2 designation command corresponds to the jackpot symbol to which the variable state is given, the variable information flag indicating the variable state is set to “1”. ”And the variable information flag is set to“ 0 ”when it corresponds to a big hit symbol that does not give a variable state.

  Then, at the stop timing of the decorative drawing of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the effect pattern, the decorative drawing designation command of each row is output to the display control board 70, the light emission control board 72, the sound control board 73, etc. To do. Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a starts measuring time by a timer means (not shown) at the same time that the special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and the left decoration at the decoration stop timing of the left symbol row 26a. A figure designation command is output, a right decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the right design row 26c, and an interior decoration drawing designation command is output at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of the middle design row 26b.

  In addition, when the stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a missing symbol, the effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing the deviation. The effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination capable of recognizing a detachment including a reach formation symbol when the special figure variation pattern for the detachment reach effect is instructed. On the other hand, the effect control CPU 65a determines a symbol combination that can recognize a detachment that does not include a reach formation symbol when a special-figure variation pattern for the detachment effect is instructed. In addition, when the effect control CPU 65a inputs an all symbols stop command, it outputs the command to the display control board 70, the light emission control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like.

(About display control)
In the display control board 70, when an effect pattern designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect content corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display content corresponding to the effect pattern. The effect display unit 17 is controlled to execute the symbol variation effect. Then, the display control CPU 70a measures the elapsed time from the start of the effect with the start of the design variation effect, and determines an image displayed on the effect display unit 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle. Then, when the symbol stop command of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is input, the display control CPU 70a displays the ornament designated by the ornament designation command at the effective stop position 27 of the corresponding symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. Is temporarily stopped, and when all the symbol stop commands are input, the decorations instructed by the decoration drawing designation command are displayed on the effect display unit 17 at the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. The display content of the effect display unit 17 is controlled to end the symbol variation effect.

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

  Next, the specific notice effect performed with the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

(About special figure variation pattern and production pattern)
Details of the special-fluctuation variation patterns for deviation variation and hit variation stored in the main control ROM 60b of the embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the main control ROM 60b displays a shift display without a reach effect (without a reach display) in a symbol change effect as a special figure change pattern for a shift change. The normal deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PA1 and the reach deviation special figure fluctuation patterns PB1 to PB6 in which the reach effect is performed in the symbol fluctuation production and finally the deviation display is displayed are set, and the special characteristic for hit fluctuation is set. As the figure variation pattern, hit special figure variation patterns PC1 to PC6 that finally display a winning display in the symbol variation effect are set. In the main control ROM 60b, special figure variation patterns PG1 to PG4 and PH1 to PH4 for pseudo continuous notice effect are set, which will be described later. Then, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine any one of the special figure variation patterns based on the result of the special figure determination or the effect execution determination performed based on the winning at the start winning ports 30, 31. Yes. 9 shows a part of the special figure fluctuation pattern set in the main control ROM 60b. However, the number of special figure fluctuation patterns set is not limited to this, and the effect performed by the pachinko machine 10 is not limited thereto. It goes without saying that an appropriate number of special figure fluctuation patterns are set according to the variations. In the following description, the symbols PA1, PB1 to PB6, and PC1 to PC6 may be added and distinguished from each special figure variation pattern as necessary. In addition, the reach effect is a process from the formation of the symbol combination to be the reach display to the stop of the symbol combination to be the display of hit or disagreement in the symbol variation effect by the ornament display of the effect display unit 17. It is a production performed in the middle. In addition, in the reach production, a plurality of productions with different expectations for the jackpot game are set, such as a normal reach production with a low expectation for the jackpot game and a super reach production with a high expectation for the jackpot game. Has been.

(Regarding the special deviation fluctuation pattern)
The non-ordinary special figure variation pattern PA1 is a special figure that is determined by the main control CPU 60a when the judgment results of the special figure determination and the effect execution determination that are performed based on the winnings at the start winning ports 30 and 31 are negative. It is a fluctuation pattern. That is, the special deviation variation pattern PA1 is a special variation pattern that is most frequently selected by the main control CPU 60a when a game is played in the pachinko machine 10. Here, the main control ROM 60b stores a predetermined number (one type in FIG. 9) of normal deviation special pattern fluctuation patterns PA1. In the symbol variation effect executed based on the normal deviation special diagram variation pattern PA1, a normal background is displayed as a background image. Note that the normal background in the embodiment is a basic effect background image displayed in the symbol variation effect, and is displayed during the period from the start of variation of the symbol variation effect to the stop of the variation, or the symbol variation effect ends. Displayed until the next symbol variation effect is started, and is configured not to suggest whether or not a winning game is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect by the background image. Note that the background image of the normal background does not have to be one type, and a plurality of types of normal background images can be set and switched appropriately.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the effect control ROM 65b normally stores a shift effect pattern EA1 as an effect pattern that specifies the specific content of the normal shift effect that is normally specified by the shift special pattern variation pattern PA1. . In other words, when a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for designating the normal deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PA1 is input to the production control board 65, the production control CPU 65a normally deviates as the production pattern based on the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command. An effect pattern EA1 is determined, and an effect pattern designating command for designating a normal deviation effect pattern EA1 is output to the display control CPU 70a.

(About reach-out special map fluctuation pattern and hit special map fluctuation pattern)
The reach deviation special figure fluctuation patterns PB1 to PB6 are controlled in the case where the special figure hit determination made based on the winning to the start winning ports 30, 31 is negative and the production execution determination is a positive result. This is a special figure variation pattern determined by the CPU 60a. Then, in the reach deviation special pattern variation patterns PB1 to PB6, after the reach display is executed in the symbol variation effect and the reach effect is executed, the effect that the decorative drawing is finally displayed in a combination of symbols that will be displayed as a shift display is displayed. I have identified. Further, the hit special figure fluctuation patterns PC1 to PC6 are special figure fluctuation patterns that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a when the special figure hit determination made based on winning at the start winning ports 30, 31 is affirmative. . In the winning special symbol variation patterns PC1 to PC6, after the reach display is executed in the symbol variation effect and the reach effect is executed, the effect in which the decorative drawing is finally stopped and displayed is determined by the symbol combination that is finally the hit display. Yes. Here, the out-of-reach special map variation pattern and the hit special map variation pattern include those in which the same effect is performed, and the result of performing the same effect in accordance with the determined special map variation pattern is out of sync. Display or hit display. In this way, after the reach deviation special pattern fluctuation pattern and the hit special figure fluctuation pattern are determined, it is suggested that the reach display is performed by performing the reach effect in the symbol variation effect, and then the shift display or the hit display is performed. By being displayed, a sense of expectation for the symbol variation effect is given.

  Here, FIG. 9 shows six types of reach deviation special figure fluctuation patterns PB1 to PB6 as part of the reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern set in the main control ROM 60b of the embodiment, and the hit special figure fluctuation pattern. As an example, six types of hit special figure fluctuation patterns PC1 to PC6 corresponding to six types of reach-displacement special figure fluctuation patterns PB1 to PB6 and production contents respectively are shown. Specifically, in the main control ROM 60b of the embodiment, the execution of the normal reach off special map fluctuation pattern PB1 that specifies execution of the normal reach production and the execution of the super reach production (previous super reach production) are specified as the reach off special map fluctuation pattern. First to third preceding super-reach off special map fluctuation patterns PB2 to PB4 and first to second developed super-reach off special figure fluctuation patterns PB5 to P5 for specifying execution of super reach production (development super reach production). A reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern including PB6 is defined. In addition, as the hit special figure fluctuation pattern, the special figure fluctuation pattern PC1 per normal reach specifying the execution of the normal reach effect and the first to third super reach special figures specifying the execution of the super reach effect (previous stage super reach effect). Hit special figure fluctuation patterns including fluctuation patterns PC2 to PC4 and first to second development super reach special figure fluctuation patterns PC5 to PC6 for specifying execution of super reach production (development super reach production) are defined. Yes.

  Here, in the reach production, a normal background is displayed as a background image. The reach production is a normal reach production performed under the normal background and a reach production executed after the normal reach production. As a background image, there is a super reach effect in which a super reach effect image different from the normal background is displayed. Here, the super reach effect image is a background image that is one of the special backgrounds and is displayed in a mode different from the normal background, and allows the player to recognize that it is a super reach effect. As the super reach effect image, for example, an animation image (moving image) in which a specific character appears, a gradation image that changes the lightness, darkness, and color tone in stages are set. For example, the normal reach effect is an effect content in which, after the reach display symbol combination is displayed, the remaining one column (for example, the middle symbol column) is changed to deviate from the display or win the display (the symbol is stopped). . In addition, the super reach effect is an effect content in which after the reach display symbol combination is displayed, the display shifts to an effect different from the normal reach effect, and the display or the winning display is derived (the symbol is stopped and displayed). In addition, in the embodiment, as the super reach effect, the first stage super reach effect that shifts away from the normal reach effect or derives the winning display, and the development effect after the predetermined transition effect is performed in the previous stage effect. A second stage super reach effect for deviating from the display or winning display is set.

  Here, in the second stage super reach effect, the display effect that ruptures the decorative pattern of the middle symbol row 26b forming the dismissal display is executed as the transition effect after the dismissal display is temporarily stopped and displayed in the previous stage effect. It is configured to Here, in the second stage super reach effect of the embodiment, the same effect as the first stage super reach effect is set as the previous stage effect, and in the previous stage effect, the first stage super reach effect is set. A deviation display is displayed at the same timing as the gap display or the hit display in the effect. Note that the transition effect is not limited to this, and a specific design different from the decorative drawing used for the design variation effect is displayed after temporarily displaying the discontinuation display in the previous stage effect or during the execution of the previous stage effect. It can be displayed on one or a plurality of symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c, or a moving body (not shown) provided in the pachinko machine 10 can be produced. In the following description, the first stage super reach production may be referred to as the preceding super reach production, and the second stage super reach production may be referred to as the development super reach production.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the reach control ROM 65 b stores the reach misalignment effect patterns EB <b> 1 to EB <b> 6 as the effect patterns that specify the specific contents of the symbol change effect specified by the reach deviation special pattern change patterns PB <b> 1 to PB <b> 6. Has been. Similarly, effect patterns that specify the specific contents of the symbol variation effects specified by the hit special symbol change patterns PC1 to PC6 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the hit effect patterns EC1 to EC6. Specifically, in the embodiment, as an effect pattern for specifying the normal reach effect, an effect pattern EB1 corresponding to the normal reach deviating special map variation pattern PB1 and an effect pattern EC1 corresponding to the special reach variation pattern PC1 per normal reach are set. ing. In addition, as an effect pattern for specifying the super reach effect (previous stage super reach effect), the first to third preceding super reach outflow effects corresponding to the first to third previous stage super reach deviating special pattern fluctuation patterns PB2 to PB4. Patterns EB2 to EB4 and first to third preceding super-reach effect patterns EC2 to EC4 corresponding to the first to third preceding super-reach special figure variation patterns PC2 to PC4 are set. Further, as the production pattern for specifying the super reach production (development super reach production), the first to second development super reach deviation production corresponding to the first to second development super reach deviation special pattern fluctuation patterns PB5 to PB6. Patterns EB5 to EB6 and first to third developed super reach per-reach effect patterns EC5 to EC6 corresponding to the first to third developed super reach per special figure variation patterns PC5 to PC6 are set. Here, according to the type of reach effect, the percentage of winning game state given as a result of the symbol variation effect (the expected level of hit indicating the degree of possibility of receiving a big hit game) is varied. Specifically, the special control variation pattern by the main control CPU 60a is increased so that the percentage of winning games is increased in the order of no reach production <normal reach production <super reach production (previous stage super reach production <development super reach production). The selection ratio (distribution ratio) is set.

(About specific notice effect)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured to be able to execute a specific notice effect as a notice effect that suggests a possibility that a winning display is displayed as a result of the symbol change effect in the symbol change effect. Here, when the specific notice effect is executed, the specific notice effect is set with a higher expectation that is more likely to be displayed as a hit display than when another notice effect is executed. It is set as a production. That is, by performing the specific notice effect, the expectation that a big hit game is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect is enhanced, and the interest of the game is improved. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the execution timing of the specific notice effect in the embodiment is set to be executed in the super reach effect (previous stage super reach effect or advanced super reach effect) including the case of being performed in the pseudo continuous notice effect. Has been. The content of the specific notice effect can be determined arbitrarily, but in the embodiment, when the specific notice effect is executed, a special image is set to be displayed on the entire display screen of the effect display unit 17. The impact when the notice effect is executed is increased. Further, the type of the specific notice effect to be executed does not have to be one type, and a plurality of kinds of specific notice effects having different hit expectations are set, and the specific notice effect determined appropriately is executed. You can also. In the embodiment, the special image is set so as to display a star mark that is not directly related to the out-of-order display or the hit display in the design variation effect, but is not limited to this, and is a motif of the pachinko machine 10. May be displayed. Further, the special image may be a still image or a moving image.

  Here, in the embodiment, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine whether or not to execute the specific notice effect based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. Specifically, in the effect control ROM 65b of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, a predetermined number of specific notice effects are executed for execution of a specific notice effect (positive determination) and non-execution of a specific notice effect (negative determination). An execution decision table for the specific advance notice effect to which the availability determination value is assigned is set, and it is determined whether or not to execute the specific advance notice effect based on the specific notice effect execution availability determination random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a. It is configured as follows. That is, when the value of the random number for determining whether or not the specific notice effect is obtained acquired by the effect control CPU 65a matches the determination value assigned to the execution of the specific notice effect, the effect control CPU 65a determines to execute the specific notice effect. The effect control CPU 65a determines not to execute the specific notice effect when the value of the random number for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice effect matches the determination value assigned to the non-execution of the specific notice effect. . It should be noted that there is no overlap between the specific notice effect execution feasibility determination values assigned to the execution of the specific notice effect (affirmative determination) and the non-execution of the specific notice effect (negative determination). In the embodiment, 100 integer values of “0” to “99” are set as the random number for determining whether or not to execute the specific notice effect and the determination value as to whether or not to execute the specific notice effect. The random number for determining whether or not the specific notice effect can be executed is updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the effect control RAM 65c to rewrite the value before the update. When the special figure variation pattern designation command is input to the effect control board 65 (effect control CPU 65a), the effect control CPU 65a acquires a random number value stored in the effect control RAM 65c. .

  In the execution determination table for the specific notice effect according to the embodiment, the specific notice effect is not executed (determination determination) in the case of the normal deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PA1, the normal reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PB1, and the normal reach special figure fluctuation pattern PC1. All the specific notice effect execution feasibility determination values are assigned, and when the main control CPU 60a determines any of these special figure fluctuation patterns, the specific notice effect is set not to be executed. In addition, in the case of the first to third preceding super-reach off special map fluctuation patterns PB2 to PB4, ten specific notice effect execution enable / disable determination values are assigned to the execution of the specific notice effect (affirmation determination). Ninety specific notice effect execution possibility determination values are assigned to non-execution of a notice effect (determination determination), and 10% when the main control CPU 60a determines any of these special figure variation patterns. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the execution of the specific notice effect at the rate of. In addition, in the case of the fifth to sixth preceding super-reach misalignment special pattern fluctuation patterns PB5 to PB6, 30 specific notice effect execution possibility determination values are assigned to the execution of the specific notice effect (affirmation determination). 70 specific notice effect execution possibility determination values are assigned to the non-execution of the notice effect (determination determination), and 30% when the main control CPU 60a determines any of these special figure variation patterns. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the execution of the specific notice effect at the rate of. In the case of the first to third pre-reach special figure fluctuation patterns PC2 to PC4, 20 specific notice effect execution feasibility determination values are assigned to the execution of the specific notice effect (affirmation determination), and the specific value is specified. 80 specific notice effect execution enable / disable determination values are assigned to non-execution (negative determination) of the notice effect, and 20% when the main control CPU 60a determines any of these special figure variation patterns. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the execution of the specific notice effect at the rate of. In addition, in the case of the special map fluctuation patterns PC5 to PC6 per fifth to sixth preceding super reach, 60 specific notice effect execution feasibility determination values are assigned to the execution of the specific notice effect (affirmation determination), and specified. Forty specific notice effect execution enable / disable determination values are assigned to non-execution (negative determination) of the notice effect, and 60% when the main control CPU 60a determines any of these special figure variation patterns. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the execution of the specific notice effect at the rate of.

  As described above, the specific notice effect is configured to be more easily executed when the advanced super reach effect is performed than when the preceding super reach effect is performed. In other words, when the development super-reach off special map variation patterns PB5 to PB6 are determined, the production control CPU 65a executes the specific notice effect as compared with the case where the preceding super-reach off special map variation patterns PB2 to PB4 are determined. When the special figure variation patterns PC5 to PC6 per developed super reach are determined, it is easier to determine the special notice effect than when the special figure fluctuation patterns PC2 to PC4 are determined per preceding super reach. The production control CPU 65a is configured to easily determine execution. Similarly, when the fourth pseudo-offset special figure variation pattern PG1 in which the advanced super-reach effect is performed is determined, compared to the case in which pseudo-outlier special diagram variation patterns PG1 to PG3 in which the preceding stage super-reach effect is performed are determined. Thus, the effect control CPU 65a can easily determine the execution of the specific notice effect.

  In addition, when the special figure fluctuation pattern for hit fluctuation (hit special figure fluctuation patterns PC2 to PC6) is determined, the special figure fluctuation pattern for reach fluctuation (reach loss is determined) determined by negative determination of the hit judgment result. Compared to the case where the special figure variation patterns PB2 to PB6) are determined, the effect control CPU 65a is more easily determined to execute the specific notice effect. Further, in the embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation patterns PB2 to PB6 and PC2 to PC6 for executing the super reach effect (previous stage super reach effect or advanced super reach effect), the specific notice effect is executed. When the main control CPU 60a determines the special pattern variation patterns PA1, PB1, and PC1 that do not execute the super reach effect (previous stage super reach effect or advanced super reach effect). The effect control CPU 65a determines that the specific notice effect is not executed. In other words, the effect control CPU 65a of the embodiment executes the specific notice effect as a notice effect that suggests the possibility of a winning display being displayed in the symbol variation effect, triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball at the start winning opening 30,31. It is configured to function as specific notice effect execution determination means for determining whether or not.

  In the embodiment, the button notice effect that is a branch of whether or not the specific notice effect is executed is executed immediately before the execution timing of the specific notice effect. In the button announcement effect, an image imitating the operation button 36 is displayed on the display surface 17a of the effect display unit 17 and an operation instruction character string “PUSH” is displayed, thereby pressing the operation button 36 to the player. It is an effect that encourages that. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, an effective period (specific notice announcement determination determination effective period) for receiving the operation signal of the operation button 36 (in the embodiment, the first operation button 36) is set in accordance with the execution of the button announcement effect. When the operation signal is input to the effect control CPU 65a when the first operation button 36 is pressed (the operation detection sensor 36a detects an operation) during the specific notice effect determination determination valid period, the specific notice effect is given. Is configured to run. That is, when the operation signal from the first operation button 36 is input during the specific notice effect determination valid period and the execution of the specific notice effect is decided, the effect display unit 17 performs the specific notice effect. The design variation effect is continued after the announcement, and when the specific notice effect is determined not to be executed, the design change effect is continued without performing the specific notification effect on the effect display unit 17. Yes. As described above, by executing the button notice effect that prompts the player to operate the active operation button 36 immediately before the execution timing of the specific notice effect, the player with respect to execution and non-execution of the specific notice effect is performed. It is designed to increase the interest of the game and improve the fun of the game.

  In the embodiment, when the operation signal from the operation button 36 is not input during the specific notice effect determination valid period (that is, when the player does not operate the operation button 36), the execution of the specific notice effect is determined. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to cause the effect display CPU 17 to execute the specific notice effect on the effect display unit 17 after the elapse of the specific notice effect determination valid period. It is comprised so that can be obtained. When the execution of the specific notice effect is determined and the operation signal from the operation button 36 is not input during the specific notice effect determination valid period (that is, the player does not operate the operation button 36). The production control CPU 65a can cancel the execution of the specific notice effect so that the specific notice effect is not performed. In this case, the final decision as to whether or not to execute the specific notice effect can be left to the player's intention, and the effect can be executed according to the player's preference.

(About stage change production)
Next, the stage change effect will be described. The stage change effect is set as an extension that displays a stage display that suggests by changing the possibility that the super reach effect will be executed step by step in the process of the effect (design variation effect, continuous notice effect) Yes. Specifically, in the embodiment, in the stage change effect, the player intuitively displays the expectation that the development effect will be performed by displaying a stage display that suggests the possibility of transitioning to the development effect in the development super reach effect. Can be recognized. Here, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured to be able to execute a stage change effect in a symbol variation effect that is performed using a special symbol determination based on the variation start start hold information as a trigger, and a start start hold when winning a prize. When it is determined to execute a continuous notice effect (described later) based on the information, the stage change effect can be executed. Further, in the embodiment, stage display areas R1 to R3 in which stage change effects are performed are set at predetermined positions of the effect display unit 17, and integer values from “0” to “1000” are displayed as the stage display. It is comprised so that it can display on area | region R1-R3. That is, it is possible to directly recognize the possibility of shifting from the numerical values displayed in the stage display areas R1 to R3 to the development effect in the development super reach production. Although details will be described later, specifically, when the development super reach production (that is, the development super reach loss production patterns EB5 to EB6, the production patterns EC5 to EC6 per development super reach) are determined, the step display areas R1 to R3 are displayed. The average stage of the displayed stage display (the average value of the numerical values in the embodiment) is higher than the average stage of the stage display displayed in the stage display areas R1 to R3 when an effect other than the development super reach effect is determined. It is set to be. Here, as described above, when the execution of the advanced super reach effect is determined, the specific notice effect is more likely to be executed than when the effect other than the advanced super reach effect is determined. It is. That is, the possibility of the specific notice effect being performed in the development effect of the advanced super reach effect is displayed step by step by the stage change effect executed in the process of the effect, and before the execution timing of the specific notice effect is performed. In addition, the player can directly recognize the expectation that the specific notice effect will be performed. Note that a display unit that displays a numerical value as a numerical display effect may be provided separately from the effect display unit 17.

  Next, the process performed by the effect control CPU 65a regarding the stage change effect performed in response to the execution of the special figure determination based on the start-of-change information at the start of fluctuation will be described with reference to FIG. The effect control CPU 65a determines a numerical value (reference value) as a reference for performing the stage change effect based on the execution / non-execution of the specific notice effect (steps SE1 to SE3). Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value of the numerical value to be displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the step change effect based on the reference value determination table set in the effect control ROM 65b, and the step change based on the determined reference value. The effect is displayed on the effect display unit 17. In the embodiment, the determined reference value is distributed to an effect block (effect unit), which will be described later, and stage change effects are performed based on the values (effect values) distributed in each effect block. That is, the effect control CPU 65a of the embodiment is configured to function as a numerical value determining means for determining a numerical value (reference value) that suggests execution of the specific notice effect.

  Here, in the effect control ROM 65b, the first reference value determination table in which the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is decided, and the execution of the specific notice effect are decided. And the second reference value determination table in which the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value is set, and the effect control CPU 65a is based on the corresponding reference value determination table according to the determination result of whether or not to execute the specific notice effect. Determines the reference value for stage change effects. That is, when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined, the effect control CPU 65a sets the reference value of the step change effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) determined by the main control CPU 60a. When the decision is made based on the reference value decision table (step SE2) and execution of the specific notice effect is decided, the step change effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) decided by the main control CPU 60a is determined. The effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value based on the second reference value determination table (step SE3).

  In the embodiment, for each of the first reference value determination table and the second reference value determination table, integer values of “0” to “21” are set as reference values that can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a. A predetermined number of reference value determination values are assigned to each reference value, and a numerical value display to be displayed on the effect display unit 17 as a step change effect based on the reference value determination random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a. The reference value is determined. In other words, from the range of “0” to “21”, a numerical value to which a reference value determining determination value corresponding to the value of the reference value determining random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a is assigned as the reference value of the step change effect. The control CPU 65a is determined. It should be noted that there is no duplication of determination values for determining reference values assigned to each reference value for each special figure variation pattern. In the embodiment, 100 integer values “0” to “99” are set as the reference value determining random number and the reference value determining determination value. The random number for determining whether or not the specific notice effect can be executed is updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the effect control RAM 65c to rewrite the value before the update. When the special figure variation pattern designation command is input to the effect control board 65 (effect control CPU 65a), the effect control CPU 65a acquires a random number value stored in the effect control RAM 65c. .

  Here, the assignment of the reference value determination value to each reference value set in the first reference value determination table and the second reference value determination table is an advanced super reach effect (that is, the main control CPU 60a is out of the advanced super reach). When the special map variation patterns PB5 to PB6 and the special map variation patterns PC5 to PC6 per developed super reach are determined, the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a is an effect other than the developed super reach effect (that is, usually out of place). When the special figure fluctuation pattern PA1, the normal reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PB1, and the first to third pre-reach special figure fluctuation patterns PB2 to PB4) are determined, it becomes higher than the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a. It is set as follows. That is, the reference value of the stage change effect determined by the effect control CPU 65a changes according to the effect pattern determined based on the special figure variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern that is a hit display rather than a special figure fluctuation pattern that is a deviation display as a result of performing the same production, the average value of the reference values determined by the presentation control CPU 65a is determined. Is set to be large, and finally a large numerical value (reference value) is displayed as a stage change effect, so that the expectation for winning is enhanced and the interest of the game is improved. That is, when the effect control CPU 65a determines execution of the specific notice effect, the average value of the reference values determined when the determination result of the hit determination is affirmative (win) is negative ( It is configured to be larger than the average value of the numerical values determined in the case of outliers.

  Further, the production control CPU 65a decides the assignment of the reference value decision value to each reference value set in the first reference value decision table and the second reference value decision table when the execution of the specific notice effect is decided. The average value of the reference values is set to be larger than the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined. That is, even when the main control CPU 60a determines the same special figure variation pattern, the reference value of the step change effect changes according to the execution / non-execution of the specific notice effect by the effect control CPU 65a.

(First reference value determination table)
As shown in FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B, the first reference value determination table is “0” for each special figure variation pattern in which the stage change effect may be executed when the specific notice effect is not performed. A predetermined number of determination values for determining reference values are assigned to reference values in the range of “21”. In the embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines one of the normal deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PA1, the reach special deviation fluctuation patterns PB1 to PB6, and the hit special figure fluctuation patterns PC1 to PC6, the production control CPU 65a performs the specific notice production. Since there is a possibility that stage change effects are executed by determining non-execution, the first reference value determination table usually includes a deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PA1, a reach deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PB1 to PB6, For each of the special figure variation patterns PC1 to PC6, a predetermined number of reference value determination values are assigned to the reference values in the range of “0” to “21”.

  Specifically, in the first reference value determination table, for example, a reference value determination criterion value is assigned only to the reference value “0” for the normal deviation special pattern fluctuation pattern PA1, for example. When the figure variation pattern PA1 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a is set to determine “0” as the reference value based on the reference value determination random number. In addition, for the normal reach deviating special figure fluctuation pattern PB1, the reference values determining judgment values are assigned to the reference values “0” and “1”, and the normal reach deviating special figure fluctuation pattern PB1 is determined. Is set so that the effect control CPU 65a determines one of “0” and “1” based on the reference value determination random number. Then, for the first pre-stage super-reach misalignment special pattern fluctuation pattern PB2, reference value determination criteria are assigned to the reference values “2” to “4”, and the first pre-super-reach deviation pattern PB2 is deviated. When the special figure variation pattern PB2 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a is set to determine one of “2” to “4” based on the reference value determining random number. Similarly, the reference value determining determination values are assigned to the reference values “0” to “21” for the other outliers PB3 to PB6 and the hit special figure fluctuation patterns PC1 to PC6, respectively. When each special figure variation pattern is determined, the effect control CPU 65a is set to determine one of “0” to “21” based on the reference value determination random number.

  Here, in the first reference value determination table, when comparing the special figure variation patterns in which the same contents are produced, the value for the special figure variation pattern in which a winning display is displayed as a result of the symbol fluctuation production. It is set so that the number of determination values for determining reference values for a large reference value is increased, and compared with the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when a special figure variation pattern to be displayed is determined. Thus, when the special figure variation pattern to be displayed is determined, the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a is configured to be larger. In other words, the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the stage change effect is configured to suggest the possibility that a big hit game will occur as a result of the symbol variation effect. Specifically, for example, with respect to the first pre-stage super-reach off special map fluctuation pattern PB2, the reference value determining determination values are assigned to the reference values “2” to “4” as described above. For the first front super-reach special map variation pattern PC2 in which the same content as the first pre-superior shift special map variation pattern PB2 is performed, the reference values “4” to “21” When the reference value determination value is assigned and the first pre-super-reach shift special map variation pattern PB2 is determined, the first pre-super-reach special map variation pattern PC2 is determined. A reference value having a large value can be determined. Similarly, for example, with respect to the first developed super-reach outlier special pattern fluctuation pattern PB5, the reference value determining determination values are assigned to the reference values “18” to “20”, whereas the first For the first development super-reach special map variation pattern PC5 in which the same contents as the development super-reach off special map variation pattern PB5 are performed, the reference values are determined for the reference values “18” to “21”. When a determination value is assigned and a special map variation pattern PC5 per first developed super reach is determined compared to a case where the first developed super reach deviating special map variation pattern PB5 is determined, a criterion of a larger value A value can be determined. That is, when the specific notice effect is not performed, the larger the numerical value displayed as the step change effect on the effect display unit 17, the higher the possibility that a big hit game will occur as a result of the symbol variation effect. It has become.

  Further, in the first reference value determination table, when the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the advanced super reach effect is performed and the special figure fluctuation pattern in which an effect other than the developed super reach effect is compared, the developed super reach effect is obtained. The effect control CPU 65a is set when an effect other than the developed super-reach effect is executed, so that the number of reference value determination determination values assigned to a reference value having a large value for the special figure variation pattern to be executed is increased. The average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the advanced super reach effect is executed is larger than the average value of the reference values determined by That is, the numerical value (stage display) displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the stage change effect is configured to suggest the possibility that the advanced super reach effect is executed. Specifically, for the special figure variation patterns PB5, PB6, PC5, and PC6 in which the advanced super reach effect is executed, a reference value determination value is assigned to a reference value of “18” or more. For special figure variation patterns PA1, PB1 to PB4, PC1 to PC4 in which the developed super reach effect is not executed, the reference value is determined so that only the reference value of “18” or less or the reference value of “18” or less is included. A judgment value is assigned. In other words, the larger the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect in the effect display unit 17, the higher the possibility of shifting to the advanced effect of the advanced super reach effect.

(Second reference value determination table)
As shown in FIG. 13, the second reference value determination table includes “0” to “21” for each special figure variation pattern in which a stage change effect may be executed when a specific notice effect is performed. A predetermined number of reference value determination values are assigned to the reference values in the range. In the embodiment, as described above, the first to third preceding super-reach off special map fluctuation patterns PB2 to PB4, the first to second developed super-reach off special figure fluctuation patterns PB5 to PB6, the first to third When the main control CPU 60a determines any one of the special figure fluctuation patterns PC2 to PC4 per first super reach and the special figure fluctuation patterns PC5 to PC6 for the first to second developed super reach, the production control CPU 65a performs a specific advance notice. Since there is a possibility that the stage change effect is executed by determining the execution of the effect, the second reference value determination table shows “0” for each of these special figure variation patterns PB2 to PB6 and PC2 to PC6. ”To“ 21 ”are assigned a predetermined number of reference value determination values.

  Specifically, in the second reference value determination table, for example, the reference values for the reference values “16” to “20” for the first to third preceding super-reach outlier special pattern fluctuation patterns PB2 to PB4. When the determination value for determination is assigned and these special figure variation patterns are determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines any one of “16” to “20” as the reference value based on the reference value determination random number. It is set to do. In addition, for the first development super-reach off special figure fluctuation pattern PB5, reference value determination values are assigned to the reference values “17” to “20”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined. In the case where it is determined, the effect control CPU 65a is set so as to determine one of “17” to “20” as a reference based on the reference value determining random number. In addition, a reference value determination value is assigned only to the reference value “20” for the second development super-reach off special figure fluctuation pattern PB6, and when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined, The production control CPU 65a is set to determine “20” as a reference based on the reference value determination random number. Similarly, the reference value determining judgment values are assigned to the reference values “0” to “21” for the other hit special figure fluctuation patterns PC2 to PC6. Is determined so that the effect control CPU 65a determines one of “0” to “21” based on the reference value determining random number.

  Here, in the second reference value determination table, when comparing the special figure variation patterns in which the same contents are produced, the value for the special figure variation pattern in which the winning display is displayed as a result of the symbol fluctuation production. It is set so that the number of determination values for determining reference values for a large reference value is increased, and compared with the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when a special figure variation pattern to be displayed is determined. Thus, when the special figure variation pattern to be displayed is determined, the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a is configured to be larger. In other words, the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the stage change effect is configured to suggest the possibility that a big hit game will occur as a result of the symbol variation effect. Specifically, for example, with respect to the first pre-stage super-reach off special map fluctuation pattern PB2, the reference value determination determination values are assigned to the reference values “16” to “20” as described above. For the first front super-reach special map variation pattern PC2 in which the same content as the first pre-superior shift special map variation pattern PB2 is produced, the reference values "16" to "21" When the reference value determination value is assigned and the first pre-super-reach shift special map variation pattern PB2 is determined, the first pre-super-reach special map variation pattern PC2 is determined. A reference value having a large value can be determined. Similarly, for example, with respect to the first developed super-reach outlier special pattern fluctuation pattern PB5, the reference value determination determination values are assigned to the reference values “17” to “20”, whereas the first For the first development super-reach special map variation pattern PC5 in which the same contents as the development super-reach off special map variation pattern PB5 are performed, the reference values are determined for the reference values “18” to “21”. When a determination value is assigned and a special map variation pattern PC5 per first developed super reach is determined compared to a case where the first developed super reach deviating special map variation pattern PB5 is determined, a criterion of a larger value A value can be determined. That is, when the specific notice effect is not performed, the larger the numerical value displayed as the step change effect on the effect display unit 17, the higher the possibility that a big hit game will occur as a result of the symbol variation effect. It has become.

  Further, in the second reference value determination table, when the special figure variation pattern in which the advanced super reach production is performed and the special figure variation pattern in which the production other than the development super reach production is compared, the development super reach production is performed. The effect control CPU 65a is set when an effect other than the developed super-reach effect is executed, so that the number of reference value determination determination values assigned to a reference value having a large value for the special figure variation pattern to be executed is increased. The average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the advanced super reach effect is executed is larger than the average value of the reference values determined by In other words, the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the stage change effect suggests the possibility of executing the advanced super reach effect. Specifically, for the special figure variation patterns PB5, PB6, PC5, and PC6 in which the development super reach effect is executed, a reference value determination value is assigned to a reference value of “17” or more. The reference value determining determination values are assigned so as to include a reference value of “17” or less for the special figure variation patterns PA1, PB1 to PB4, and PC1 to PC4 in which the developed super reach effect is not executed. In other words, the larger the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect in the effect display unit 17, the higher the possibility of shifting to the advanced effect of the advanced super reach effect.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, in the second reference value determination table according to the embodiment, a reference value determination value is assigned to a reference value equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and a specific notice effect is performed. In such a case, a numerical value display above a certain level is displayed in the stage change effect. This increases the player's interest in the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the stage change effect. Specifically, in the embodiment, the second reference value determination table is set so that the reference value determination value is assigned only to the reference value of “16” or more.

(About the production block)
The effect control CPU 65 a is configured to determine the effect timing for displaying the step display (numerical value) of the step change effect in the step display area of the effect display unit 17. In the embodiment, the design variation effect is divided into a plurality of effect blocks (effect units), and the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect value to be displayed for each effect block based on the reference value (step SE4). ~ SE6). Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a determines the corresponding effect pattern based on the special figure variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and determines the effect block for performing the stage change effect based on the determined effect pattern. (Step SE4).

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the embodiment, the effect patterns that can execute the stage display effects (usually the shift effect pattern EA1, the normal reach shift effect pattern EB1, the first to the third preceding super reach shift effect patterns EB2 to EB4, the first 1st to 2nd development super-reach out production patterns EB5 to EB6, production pattern EC1 per normal reach, 1st to 3rd pre-stage production patterns EC2 to EC4 1st to 2nd development production patterns EC5 to 1st second super reach The symbol variation effect specified by EC6) is roughly divided into four effect sections (effect blocks), and effect blocks BL1 to BL4 for executing effects are defined for each effect pattern. Specifically, the first stage block BL1 that is the stage between the start of the symbol variation stage and the time when the reach display is displayed, and the first stage super reach stage after the reach display is displayed and the normal reach stage is performed. A second effect block BL2 that becomes an effect section until the timing of development into a third effect block BL3 that becomes an effect section from the first stage super reach effect to the timing of development to the second stage super reach effect, The effect section of the symbol variation effect is largely divided into the fourth effect block BL4 that becomes the effect section after the two-stage super reach effect, and the effect block of the symbol variation effect is determined according to the effect content specified by each effect pattern. Patterns BLP1 to BLP6 are determined. Here, in the embodiment, the first effect block BL1 and the second effect block BL2 are set as a single effect block regardless of the effect contents executed in each effect section, whereas the third effect block BL1 and the second effect block BL2 are set as a single effect block. The effect block BL3 and the fourth effect block BL4 are divided into a plurality of types according to the effect contents executed in each effect section. Specifically, in the embodiment, the third effect block BL3 is divided into five types of effect blocks BL3A to BL3E according to the effect contents, and the fourth effect block BL4 is divided into two kinds of effect blocks BL4A according to the effect contents. It is divided into ~ BL4B. In addition, as the number which divides each production | generation block BL1-BL4, it is not restricted to this, It is a matter which can be set arbitrarily.

  The relationship between the production | presentation pattern set to the pachinko machine 10 which concerns on an Example, and the production | generation block patterns BLP1-BLP6 corresponding to it is shown in FIG. That is, in the embodiment, for the normal deviation effect pattern EA1 corresponding to the normal deviation special figure fluctuation pattern PA1 in which the deviation display is displayed without the reach effect being performed and the symbol fluctuation effect ends, the first effect block The effect block pattern BLP0 specifying only BL1 is set, and when the deviation effect pattern EA1 is normally determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP0. In addition, as a result of the normal reach effect being performed, a win display or an off display is displayed, and the symbol variation effect is terminated. Corresponding to the normal reach error effect pattern EB1 or the special reach variation pattern PC1 corresponding to the normal reach error special pattern variation pattern PB1. The effect block pattern BLP1 for specifying the first effect block BL1 and the second effect block BL2 is set for the effect pattern EC1 per normal reach, and any of the effect pattern EB1 and the effect pattern EC1 per normal reach is set. When it is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP1.

  Furthermore, as a result of the first stage super reach production (previous stage super reach production), it corresponds to the special figure variation patterns PB2 to PB4, PC2 to PC4 in which a win display or off display is displayed and the symbol variation production ends. Effect block patterns BLP2 to BLP4 that specify the first effect block BL1, the second effect block BL2, and the third effect blocks BL3A to BL3C are set for the effect patterns EB2 to EB4 and EC2 to EC4. Yes. Specifically, when any one of the first preceding super-reaching deviation effect pattern EB2 and the first preceding super-reaches effect pattern EC2 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP2, and the second When either one of the preceding super-reaching off effect pattern EB3 or the second preceding super-reaching effect pattern EC3 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP3, and the third preceding super-reaching off effect When one of the pattern EB4 and the third pre-reach stage effect pattern EC4 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP4. Then, as a result of the second stage super reach production (development super reach production), a win display or off display is displayed, and the special pattern variation patterns PB5 to PB6, PC5 to PC6 are finished. For the effect patterns EB5 to EB5EC5 to EC6, an effect block pattern for specifying the first effect block BL1, the second effect block BL2, the third effect blocks BL3D to BL3E, and the fourth effect blocks BL4A to BL4B. BLP5 to BLP6 are set. Specifically, when any one of the first development super-reaching misalignment effect pattern EB5 and the first development super-reach effect pattern EC5 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP5, and the second When one of the development super-reach off effect pattern EB6 and the second development super-reaches effect pattern EC6 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP6.

(Determination of unit effect value of effect block)
The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine a unit effect value as a reference for the stage change effect performed in each effect block BL1 to BL4 based on the determined effect block patterns BLP1 to BLP6 (steps SE5 to SE6). . Here, the unit effect values of each effect block BL1 to BL4 are determined by adding the addition value determined for each effect block to the minimum assigned value determined for each effect block BL1 to BL4. The stage change effect based on at least the minimum assigned value is executed when the effect of each effect block corresponding to the effect pattern is executed. In the embodiment, with the progress of the design variation effect, the stage change effect is performed based on the effect value (cumulative value) obtained by accumulating the unit effect values (numerical values) determined for each effect block BL1 to BL4. It is configured. That is, in the first effect block BL1, a stage change effect is performed using the unit effect value determined for the first effect block BL1 as an effect value, and in the second effect block BL2, the first to second effect blocks BL1 to BL2 are performed. A stage change effect is performed using the value obtained by accumulating (adding) the unit effect values determined for each of the effect values as the effect value. In the third effect block BL3, each of the first to third effect blocks BL1 to BL3 is determined. A stage change effect is performed using the value obtained by accumulating (adding) the unit effect values as the effect value. In the fourth effect block BL4, the unit effect values determined for the first to fourth effect blocks BL1 to BL4 are accumulated (added). The stage change effect is performed with the value obtained as the effect value. By making stage change effect based on the effect value (cumulative value) obtained by accumulating the unit effect value (numerical value) determined for each effect block BL1 to BL4, a specific notice is given as the design variation effect progresses The expectation that the production will be executed is gradually increased. In other words, the production control CPU 65a of the embodiment changes the stage of the stage change production that suggests the possibility of executing the super reach production (specifically, the development super reach production) or the specific notice production in stages. It is configured to function as a stage display determining means (numerical value determining means) for determining stage display (numerical values (reference values and unit effect values)), and from the start of the variation of the design variation effect to the execution timing of the specific notice effect. In addition, it is configured to function as a stage change effect executing means for causing the stage display effect to be performed by the effect display unit 17 based on the determined numerical value (reference value).

  As shown in FIG. 15, the first to fourth effect blocks BL1, BL2, BL3A to BL3E, and BL4A to BL4B are assigned with the minimum allocation of the stage change effect displayed on the effect display unit 17 when the effect of each effect block is executed. A value is defined. That is, when the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block patterns BLP1 to BLP6 based on the effect pattern, the stage change effect based on at least the minimum assigned value is executed at the time of effect execution of each effect block corresponding to the effect pattern. It is like that. Specifically, in the embodiment, the minimum allocation value for the first and second effect blocks BL1 to BL2 is set to “0”, and the minimum allocation value for the third effect blocks BL3A to BL3E is “1”, “2”, “ “3” or “4” is set, and the minimum allocation value for the fourth effect blocks BL4A to BL4B is set to “4” or “5”. For example, when the effect block pattern BLP2 is determined, the minimum assignment value for the first and second effect blocks is determined to be “0”, and the minimum assignment value for the third effect block BL3A is determined to be “1”. When the effect block pattern BLP5 is determined, the minimum assignment value for the first and second effect blocks is determined to be “0”, and the minimum assignment value for the third effect block BL3D is determined to be “3”. At the same time, the minimum allocation value for the fourth effect block BL4A is determined to be “4”. The same applies to cases where other effect block patterns are determined based on the effect patterns. In this way, when the effect control CPU 65a distributes the minimum assigned value to a plurality of effect blocks based on the determined reference value, the effect block (first effect block) on the start side of the symbol variation effect specified in each effect block pattern The value assigned to the effect block on the end side of the symbol variation effect (the effect block close to the fourth effect block) is larger than the value assigned to the effect block close to the effect block.

(Regarding the added value of the production block)

Here, as described above, in the embodiment, the added value is determined in the order from the effect block on the end side to the effect block on the start side of the effect block of the symbol variation effect performed in the effect display unit 17. Yes. Therefore, when the block patterns BLP5 to BLP6 including the first to fourth effect blocks are determined, the minimum assigned value of each effect block is subtracted from the reference value and the fourth effect block BL4 and the third effect block BL3 are subtracted. When the addition value of the second effect block BL2 is determined based on the value obtained by subtracting the addition value, and the block patterns BLP2 to BLP4 including the first to third effect blocks are determined, each effect block is determined from the reference value.

And based on the random number for 2nd effect block addition value determination which the effect control CPU65a acquired, it is comprised so that the addition value of 2nd effect block BL2 may be determined. That is, from the range of “0” to “7”, a numerical value to which a second effect block addition value determination value corresponding to the value of the second effect block addition value determination random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a is assigned, The effect control CPU 65a determines the added value of the second effect block BL2. Note that there is no duplication of determination values for determining the second effect block addition value assigned to each effect pattern group for each special figure variation pattern. In the embodiment, 100 integer values “0” to “99” are set as the second effect block addition value determination random number and the second effect block addition value determination determination value. The random number for determining the second effect block addition value is updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), and the updated value is temporarily stored in the effect control RAM 65c to rewrite the value before the update. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to acquire a random value stored in the effect control RAM 65c when a special figure variation pattern designation command is input to the effect control board 65 (effect control CPU 65a). Yes. Although the effect control CPU 65a individually acquires the random value as the second to fourth effect block addition value determination random numbers, the same random number value may be used.

  Here, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the effect patterns set in the effect control ROM 65b are classified into first to eighth effect pattern groups. Here, in the second effect block addition value determination table, the first to eighth values are set so that the effect pattern group having a high jackpot expectation level is more easily selected than the effect pattern group having a low jackpot expectation value. The number of assigned second effect block addition value determination values for each of the effect pattern groups is set. Specifically, when an effect pattern included in the first effect pattern group is determined, “0” is added as the addition value in the second effect block BL2 based on the acquired second effect block addition value determination random number. When the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect pattern included in the second effect pattern group, the added value in the second effect block BL2 is determined based on the acquired second effect block addition value determination random number. When the effect control CPU 65a determines “0” or “1” and the effect pattern included in the third effect pattern group is determined, the second effect is determined based on the acquired second effect block addition value determination random number. The effect control CPU 65a determines “1” or “2” as the addition value in the block BL2, and the fourth effect pattern When the effect pattern included in the second group is determined, the effect control CPU 65a sets “1” to “3” as the addition values in the second effect block BL2 based on the acquired second effect block addition value determination random number. When the effect pattern included in the fifth effect pattern group is determined, the addition values in the second effect block BL2 are “2” to “2” based on the acquired second effect block addition value determination random number. 4 ”is determined by the effect control CPU 65a, and when the effect pattern included in the sixth effect pattern group is determined, the addition in the second effect block BL2 is based on the acquired second effect block addition value determination random number. The values “3” to “5” are determined by the effect control CPU 65a and included in the seventh effect pattern group. When the pattern is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines “6” as the addition value in the second effect block BL2 based on the acquired second effect block addition value determining random number, and the eighth effect pattern group is assigned to the eighth effect pattern group. When the effect pattern included is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines “8” as the addition value in the second effect block BL2 based on the acquired second effect block addition value determination random number. Yes. Further, in the effect pattern group that can determine the addition value of a plurality of values (that is, the second to sixth effect pattern groups), there are many second effect block addition value determination values for the large addition value. It is assigned and the expectation for the stage change effect performed in the second effect block BL2 is enhanced.

(Regarding the stage change effect in the pseudo-annual notice effect)
The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment has a predetermined pseudo-continuous effect (first operation) for each effect unit divided by a predetermined effect delimiter in one symbol change effect from the start of change of decoration to the stop of change (definite stop). A pseudo continuous notice effect (continuous effect) in which a specific effect) is performed can be executed, and a stage change effect can be executed in the pseudo continuous notice effect. Here, in the pseudo-continuous notice effect, a pseudo-continuous effect (first specific effect) that is associated with each other is performed in the effect units delimited by the effect delimiter, and is delimited by the effect delimiter. The player can recognize that a single production is performed by a plurality of production units. For example, as a pseudo-continuous production, the same or regular moving image is displayed in each production unit, or the productions in which the production with a story is divided are displayed so that the story progresses as the production unit advances. However, it is not limited to this.

  Here, as an effect delimiter, a combination of decorations as a pseudo-continuous notice effect display that can be displayed when a pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed, among the combinations of decorative figures that do not include a reach display and can recognize a detachment. It is possible to divide a plurality of performance units by temporarily displaying the combination of symbols as the pseudo continuous notice effect display in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. For example, the left design row 26a and the middle design row 26b are determined to have the same decoration, and the right design row 26c is shifted from the left / middle design row 26a, 26b by one. When the symbol combination (“223”, “778”, etc.) is determined as a pseudo-continuous notice effect display and the decoration is temporarily stopped by the combination of the pseudo-continuous notice effect display, the effect of the next effect unit is executed. Thus, it can be shown that there is a possibility that a pseudo continuous notice effect will be performed. The combination of decorations as the pseudo continuous notice effect display may be configured to be displayed only when the pseudo continuous notice effect is performed. You may make it display the misalignment display of a decorative drawing. In addition, the effect delimiter is not limited to this, and a symbol as a pseudo continuous notice effect display that can be displayed only when a pseudo continuous notice effect is performed is determined, and the pattern as the pseudo continuous notice effect display is determined. May be divided into a plurality of unit effects by temporarily stopping at one or more of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c. In addition, as a production break, it is possible to configure the movable body included in the gaming machine to operate in accordance with the temporary stop of the decorative drawing or the re-variation of the temporarily stopped decorative drawing. As described above, the pseudo continuous notice effect includes a plurality of times of the pseudo change (effect unit) in which the period from the start of the decorative drawing change to the temporary stop of the pseudo continuous notice effect display is once in a single symbol change effect. Is set as an effect to be executed.

(Regarding special figure variation pattern and effect pattern for pseudo-continuous notice effect)
In the main control ROM 60b of the embodiment, special figure variation patterns for deviation variation and hit variation for specifying execution of the pseudo continuous notice effect are set. That is, in the pseudo continuous notice effect, a specific effect is performed for each of a plurality of effect units divided by a predetermined effect delimiter in the special figure change time specified by the special figure change pattern of the pseudo continuous notice effect. The special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect is set so as to specify the number of continuous units (number of pseudo fluctuations) for each special figure variation pattern. In the embodiment, any one of 1 to 4 times is set as the number of pseudo fluctuations for each special figure fluctuation pattern for pseudo continuous notice effect.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, the main control ROM 60 b includes first to second pseudo-variations in which the number of pseudo-variations is set to two as a special-fluctuation variation pattern for out-of-range variation for executing a continuous notice effect. Outgoing special figure fluctuation patterns PG1, PG2, the third pseudo special figure fluctuation pattern PG3 in which the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to three times, and the fourth pseudo outlier special figure fluctuation in which the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to four. A pattern PG4 is set. The main control ROM 60b also includes first to second pseudo hit special figure fluctuation patterns PH1 and PH2 in which the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to two as special figure fluctuation patterns for hit fluctuation for executing the continuous notice effect. A third pseudo hit special figure fluctuation pattern PH3 in which the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to three times and a fourth pseudo hit special figure fluctuation pattern PH4 in which the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to four are set. That is, the main control CPU 60a selects the special figure fluctuation pattern including the special figure fluctuation pattern described above based on the determination result of the special figure perception and the effect execution determination performed based on the winning at the start winning ports 30, 31. Any one special figure variation pattern is determined.

  Then, in the effect control ROM 65b, as shown in FIG. 21, an effect pattern for specifying the specific contents of the pseudo-continuous notice effect in which the number of times of pseudo change specified by the first pseudo-offset special figure change pattern PG1 is two. As the effect pattern for specifying the specific contents of the pseudo continuous notice effect, in which the first pseudo-offset effect pattern EG1 is stored and the number of pseudo-changes specified by the second pseudo-offset special figure change pattern PG2 is two. The second pseudo-offset effect pattern EG2 is stored, and as the effect pattern that specifies the specific contents of the pseudo continuous notice effect with the number of pseudo-changes specified by the third pseudo-offset special figure change pattern PG3 as three times, The first pseudo-offset effect pattern EG3 is stored, and the number of pseudo fluctuations specified by the fourth pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation pattern PG4 is four. As effect pattern identifying the specific contents of the connection announcement attraction, the fourth pseudo off effect pattern EG4 it is stored. Similarly, in the effect control ROM 65b, the first pseudo pattern is specified as an effect pattern for specifying the specific contents of the pseudo continuous notice effect with the number of times of the pseudo variation specified by the first pseudo hit special map variation pattern PH1. The second pseudo hit is used as an effect pattern for specifying the specific content of the pseudo continuous notice effect in which the hit effect pattern EH1 is stored and the number of times of the pseudo change specified by the second pseudo hit special figure change pattern PH2 is two. An effect pattern EH2 is stored, and the first pseudo hit effect is used as an effect pattern for specifying the specific content of the pseudo continuous notice effect with the number of times of the pseudo change specified by the third pseudo hit special figure change pattern PH3. The pattern EH3 is stored, and the specific contents of the pseudo continuous notice effect that specifies the number of times of pseudo fluctuation specified by the fourth pseudo hit special figure fluctuation pattern PH4 is specified. As output pattern, the fourth pseudo per performance pattern EH4 is stored.

  The first pseudo-offset effect pattern EG1 and the first pseudo-hit effect pattern EH1 are effect patterns that specify that the normal reach effect is to be executed in the final effect unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect (that is, the second pseudo variation). The second pseudo-offset effect pattern EG2 and the second pseudo-hit effect pattern EH2 execute the first preceding super-reach effect in the final effect unit of the pseudo-continuous notice effect (that is, the second pseudo-variation effect). The third pseudo-offset effect pattern EG3 and the third pseudo-hit effect pattern EH3 are the final effect units of the pseudo-continuous notice effect (that is, the third preceding stage in the third pseudo-variation effect). It is set as a production pattern that specifies the execution of a super reach production. The fourth pseudo-offset effect pattern EG4 and the fourth pseudo-hit effect pattern EH4 specify the final effect unit of the pseudo-continuous notice effect (that is, an effect that specifies that the second development super reach effect is executed in the fourth pseudo variation). 19 and 20, the special figure fluctuation pattern for which the super reach effect is not executed is indicated as “no SP”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for which the super reach effect is executed. It is written as “With SP”.

  In the case where the pseudo-continuous notice effect is performed, the ratio of the winning game state given as a result of the symbol variation effect according to the type of the reach effect (the size of the possibility that the big hit game is given) The degree of expected expectation) is different. Specifically, the main control is performed so that the percentage of games that are awarded per game is increased in the order of the reach production performed in the pseudo-continuous notice production in the order of normal reach production <super reach production (previous stage super reach production <developed super reach production). The selection ratio (distribution ratio) of the special figure variation pattern by the CPU 60a is set.

  Next, the step change effect when the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect will be described. The stage change effect when the special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined shifts to the development effect in the development super reach effect in the final effect unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect in the process of performing the pseudo continuous notice effect. By displaying a stage display that suggests the possibility in stages, the player can intuitively recognize the expectation that the development effect will be performed before the transition timing of the development effect. Specifically, in the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the average stage of the step display that is displayed when the developed super reach effect (that is, the fourth pseudo-offset effect pattern EG4, the fourth pseudo-hit effect pattern EH4) is determined (implemented) In the example, the average value of the numerical values) is set to be higher than the average stage of the stage display displayed when the stage other than the development super reach stage is determined.

  Further, as described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the specific notice effect is more than the case where the effect other than the advanced super reach effect is determined when the execution of the advanced super reach effect is determined in the pseudo continuous notice effect. Is also configured to be highly likely to be executed. In other words, the stage change effect executed in the process of performing the pseudo-continuous notice effect displays the possibility that the specific notice effect is performed in the development effect of the advanced super reach effect in stages. Before reaching the execution timing of the specific notice effect in the effect, the player can directly recognize the expectation that the specific notice effect will be performed.

  A process performed by the effect control CPU 65a regarding the stage change effect when the special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined will be described. In addition, since it is basically the same as the description regarding the stage change effect described above, the description of the common part may be omitted. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the effect control CPU 65a determines a numerical value (reference value) as a reference for performing the stage change effect based on the execution / non-execution of the specific notice effect (steps SE1 to SE3). . Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value of the numerical value to be displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the step change effect based on the reference value determination table set in the effect control ROM 65b, and the step change based on the determined reference value. The effect is displayed on the effect display unit 17. In the embodiment, the determined reference value is distributed to each effect unit of the pseudo-continuous notice effect, and the stage change effect is performed based on the value (effect value) distributed in each effect unit.

  However, in the effect control ROM 65b, the third reference for the effect control CPU 65a to determine the reference value when the specific notice change pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined and the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined. A value determination table and a fourth reference value determination table in which the effect control CPU 65a determines a reference value when execution of a specific notice effect is determined are set, and depending on the determination result of whether or not the specific notice effect can be executed Thus, the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value of the step change effect based on the corresponding reference value determination table. That is, when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined, the effect control CPU 65a sets the reference value of the step change effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) determined by the main control CPU 60a. When the decision is made based on the reference value decision table and execution of the specific notice effect is decided, the reference value of the step change effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) decided by the main control CPU 60a is set. The effect control CPU 65a determines based on the fourth reference value determination table.

  In the embodiment, similarly to the first and second reference value determination tables, “3rd reference value determination table and fourth reference value determination table” are set as reference values that can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a. An integer value of “0” to “21” is set, and a predetermined number of reference value determining determination values are assigned to each reference value. Based on the reference value determining random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a, A reference value for numerical display to be displayed on the effect display unit 17 as a step change effect is determined.

  Here, the assignment of the determination value for determining the reference value to each reference value set in the third reference value determination table and the fourth reference value determination table is a pseudo continuous notice effect (ie, an advanced super reach effect) When the main control CPU 60a determines the fourth pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation pattern PG4 and the fourth pseudo hit special figure fluctuation pattern PH4), the average value of the reference values determined by the presentation control CPU 65a is other than the developed super reach presentation. Standard value determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the first to third pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation patterns PG1 to PG3 and the first to third pseudo special figure fluctuation patterns PH1 to PH3 are determined. It is set to be higher than the average value of. That is, the reference value of the stage change effect determined by the effect control CPU 65a changes according to the effect pattern determined based on the special figure variation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure variation pattern that is a winning display rather than a special figure variation pattern that is a disparate display as a result of performing the same pseudo-continuous notice effect, the reference value determined by the effect control CPU 65a is determined. The average value of the game is set to be large, and a large numerical value (reference value) is displayed as the stage change effect, so that the expectation for winning is enhanced and the interest of the game is improved. That is, when the effect control CPU 65a determines execution of the specific notice effect, the average value of the reference values determined when the determination result of the hit determination is affirmative (win) is negative ( It is configured to be larger than the average value of the numerical values determined in the case of outliers.

  The assignment of the reference value determination value to each reference value set in the third reference value determination table and the fourth reference value determination table is performed by the effect control CPU 65a when the execution of the specific notice effect is determined. The average value of the reference values to be determined is set to be larger than the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined. That is, even when the main control CPU 60a determines the same special figure variation pattern for the pseudo continuous notice effect, the reference value of the step change effect changes according to the execution / non-execution of the specific notice effect by the effect control CPU 65a. It has become.

(Third reference value determination table)
As in the first reference value determination table, the third reference value determination table is a pseudo-continuous in which a stage change effect may be executed when a specific notice effect is not performed, as shown in FIG. A predetermined number of reference value determination values are assigned to reference values in the range of “0” to “21” for each special drawing variation pattern for the notice effect. Specifically, in the third reference value determination table, for example, a reference value determining determination value is assigned to the reference values “0” and “1” for the first pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation pattern PG1. The production control CPU 65a is set to determine either “0” or “1” as the reference value based on the reference value determining random number. Then, for the second pseudo-offset special figure variation pattern PG2, reference value determination values are assigned to the reference values “2” to “4”, and the output control CPU 65a uses the reference value determination random number. Is set so that any one of “2” to “4” is determined as a reference value. Similarly, the reference value determining judgment values are assigned to the reference values “0” to “21” for the other special figure variation patterns PG3 to PG4 and PH1 to PH4.

  Here, in the third reference value determination table, similar to the first reference value determination table, when comparing the special figure variation patterns in which the pseudo-continuous notice effect having the same content is performed, the winning display is performed as a result of the symbol variation effect. Is set so that the number of reference value determination judgment values assigned to the reference value having a large value is increased with respect to the hit special figure fluctuation pattern. Compared to the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a, the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a is larger when the special figure variation pattern to be displayed is determined. . In other words, the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the stage change effect is configured to suggest the possibility that a big hit game will occur as a result of the symbol variation effect. That is, when the specific notice effect is not performed in the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the larger the numerical value is displayed as the step change effect on the effect display unit 17, the more likely the big hit game is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. Is getting higher.

  Further, in the third reference value determination table, when comparing the special figure variation pattern in which the development super-reach production is performed in the pseudo continuous notice production and the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the production other than the development super-reach production is performed, For the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the advanced super reach effect is executed, the number of reference value determination judgment values for the reference value having a large value is set to be increased, and effects other than the advanced super reach effect are executed. In this case, the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the developed super reach effect is executed is larger than the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a. In other words, the larger the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect in the effect display unit 17, the higher the possibility that the final pseudo change (effect unit) of the pseudo continuous notice effect will shift to the advanced effect of the advanced super reach effect. It is like that.

(Fourth reference value determination table)
As shown in FIG. 20, the fourth reference value determination table includes “0” to “21” for each special figure variation pattern in which a stage change effect may be executed when a specific notice effect is performed. A predetermined number of reference value determination values are assigned to the reference values in the range. Similarly, the reference value determining determination values are assigned to the reference values “0” to “21” for each of the other special figure variation patterns PG4, PH2 to PH4, and the effect control CPU 65a Based on the random number for determining the reference value, it is set so that any one of “0” to “21” is determined as a reference.

  Here, in the fourth reference value determination table, as in the second reference value determination table, when comparing the special figure fluctuation patterns in which the pseudo-continuous notice effect with the same contents is performed, When the number of assigned reference value determination values for the reference value with a large value is set to be larger than the hit special figure fluctuation pattern for which the display is displayed, and the special figure fluctuation pattern that is displayed as an outlier is determined Compared to the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a, the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a is larger when the special figure variation pattern to be a hit display is determined. Yes. That is, when the specific notice effect is not performed in the pseudo-continuous notice effect, the larger the numerical value is displayed as the step change effect on the effect display unit 17, the more likely the big hit game is generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. Is getting higher.

  Further, in the fourth reference value determination table, when comparing the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the development super-reach production is performed in the pseudo continuous notice production and the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the production other than the development super-reach production is performed, For the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the advanced super reach effect is executed, the number of reference value determination judgment values for the reference value having a large value is set to be increased, and effects other than the advanced super reach effect are executed. In this case, the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the developed super reach effect is executed is larger than the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a. In other words, the larger the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect in the effect display unit 17, the higher the possibility that the final pseudo change (effect unit) of the pseudo continuous notice effect will shift to the advanced effect of the advanced super reach effect. It is like that.

  In the fourth reference value determination table according to the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, a reference value determination value is assigned to a reference value equal to or greater than a predetermined value, and a specific notice effect is performed. In such a case, a numerical value display above a certain level is displayed in the stage change effect. This increases the player's interest in the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the stage change effect. Specifically, in the fourth embodiment, the fourth reference value determination table is set so that the reference value determination value is assigned only to a reference value of “16” or more.

(About the production block in the pseudo-continuous notice production)
The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the effect timing for displaying the step display (numerical value) of the step change effect in the step display area of the effect display unit 17 when performing the step change effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect. In the embodiment, the production control CPU 65a determines the display value (stage display) to be displayed for each production unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect, based on the reference value, with the production unit in the pseudo continuous notice effect as the production block. (Steps SE4 to SE6). Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a determines the corresponding effect pattern based on the special figure variation pattern designation command input from the main control CPU 60a, and determines the effect block for performing the stage change effect based on the determined effect pattern. (Step SE4).

  FIG. 21 shows the relationship between the effect block patterns BLP11 to BLP14 corresponding to the effect pattern of the pseudo continuous notice effect set in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment. That is, the first pseudo-offset special figure variation pattern PG1 in which the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to 2 and the normal display effect is performed in the final effect unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect is displayed as a win display or a miss display. An effect block pattern BLP11 is set with respect to the hit effect pattern EH1 corresponding to the loss effect pattern EG1 corresponding to the first pseudo hit special figure variation pattern PH1, and any one of these effect patterns EG1 and EH1 is set. Is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP11.

  Further, the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to 2 and a win display or a missed display is displayed as a result of the first stage super reach effect (previous stage super reach effect) being performed in the final effect unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect. An effect block pattern BLP12 is set for the off-stage effect pattern EG2 corresponding to the second pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation pattern PG2 or the hit effect pattern EH2 corresponding to the second pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation pattern PH2. When any of these effect patterns EG2, EH2 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP12. In addition, the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to 3 and a win display or a miss display is displayed as a result of the first stage super reach effect (previous stage super reach effect) being performed in the final effect unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect. An effect block pattern BLP13 is set for the off-stage effect pattern EG3 corresponding to the third pseudo-offset special figure change pattern PG3 or the hit effect pattern EH3 corresponding to the third pseudo-offset special figure change pattern PH3. When any of these effect patterns EG3, EH3 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP13. Then, the number of pseudo fluctuations is set to 4 times, and a win display or a missed display is displayed as a result of the second stage super reach effect (development super reach effect) being performed in the final effect unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect. An effect block pattern BLP14 is set for the off-stage effect pattern EG4 corresponding to the fourth pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation pattern PG4 or the hit effect pattern EH4 corresponding to the fourth pseudo-offset special figure fluctuation pattern PH4. When any of these effect patterns EG4, EH34 is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect block pattern BLP14.

(Determination of unit production value for production unit)
The effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine a unit effect value serving as a reference for the stage change effect performed in each effect unit (effect block) of the pseudo continuous notice effect based on the determined effect block patterns BLP11 to BLP14. (Steps SE5 to SE6). Here, the unit effect value of each effect unit in the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined by adding the added value to the minimum assigned value determined for each effect unit.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in each of the first to fourth effect units, the minimum assigned value of the stage change effect displayed on the effect display unit 17 when the effect of each effect unit is executed in the pseudo continuous notice effect is determined. Yes. The first effect unit refers to the first effect unit in the pseudo continuous notice effect in which the pseudo variation is performed four times at the maximum, and the second effect unit is the effect unit serving as the second change in the pseudo continuous notice effect. The third effect unit indicates the effect unit that becomes the third change in the pseudo continuous notice effect, and the fourth effect unit indicates the effect unit that becomes the fourth change in the pseudo continuous notice effect. Specifically, in the embodiment, “0” is set as the minimum assigned value for the first effect unit according to the effect block patterns PL11 to PL14, and “0” and “1” are set as the minimum assigned values for the second effect unit. ”Is set,“ 3 ”or“ 4 ”is set as the lowest assigned value for the third effect unit, and“ 5 ”is set as the lowest assigned value for the fourth effect unit.

(Regarding the added value of the production block)
In addition, the effect control ROM 65b is set with an addition value determination table for determining the added value of the stage change effect displayed on the effect display unit 17 when the effect of each effect unit is executed. The added value of the stage change effect displayed on the unit 17 is determined. In the embodiment, the added value of the second effect unit and the third effect unit is determined based on the third effect block addition value determination table described above, and the added value of the fourth effect unit is the fourth value described above. The determination is made based on the effect block addition value determination table. Note that. This is an example, and the addition values of the second to fourth effect units may be determined based on other addition value determination tables, and the addition values for determining the addition values of the second to fourth effect units. Of course, the determination table may be determined separately. In the same manner as described above, the effect control CPU 65a determines the addition value (that is, the unit effect value) in the order of the effect unit on the end side from the effect unit on the end side of the effect unit in the pseudo continuous notice effect. Yes. In addition, since the calculation method of the addition value in each production | generation unit is the same as the calculation method of the addition value of each said production block, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  That is, the effect control CPU 65a determines the added value based on the remaining value obtained by sequentially subtracting the determined assigned value and the determined added value from the reference value. That is, in the case of the block pattern BLP14 including the first to fourth effect units, the unit effect values in the order of the fourth effect unit, the third effect unit, the second effect unit 2, and the first effect unit. In the case of the block pattern BLP13 including the first to third effect units, the unit effect value is determined in the order of the third effect unit, the second effect unit, and the first effect unit. In the case of the block pattern BLP12 including the first to second effect units, the unit effect value is determined in the order of the second effect unit and the first effect unit.

(About stage change effects in continuous notice effects)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is configured to be able to execute a continuous notice effect in which a predetermined continuous effect (second specific effect) is performed in a plurality of consecutive symbol change effects (special pattern change display). The stage change effect can be executed in the continuous notice effect. First, the continuous notice effect will be described. The pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment specifies the contents of the presentation based on the winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired every time the winning information (random value) is acquired triggered by the detection of the start winning detection sensors 34 and 35. (Pre-reading), and when the winning information is acquired, the start variation information already stored in the main control RAM 60c is used as the starting variation information at the start of variation, and the variation is started when the variation information is started. It is configured that the continuous notice effect is performed by performing the continuous effect (second specific effect) in the symbol change (the main change of the continuous notice effect) executed as information. In other words, the continuous notice effect may be displayed as a hit display in this fluctuating effect (the symbol fluctuating effect performed using the start hold information that triggers the execution of the continuous notice effect as start hold information at the start of change) ( This is a look-ahead notice effect that can indicate in advance the possibility that a big hit will occur) in the symbol variation performed before the main variation. In addition, in the continuous notice effect, a continuous effect (second specific effect) having a unity and continuity related to each other is performed in each symbol change until the main change effect is performed, and based on the start hold information. Thus, the player can recognize that an integrated performance is associated with different symbol variations that are started. Here, as the continuous production, for example, the same or regular moving image is displayed in each symbol variation, or each production in which the production with the story is divided is produced in the production unit. It is possible to display the story as it progresses, but it is not limited to this. It should be noted that the continuous notice effect and the pseudo continuous notice effect are set to effect contents that can be distinguished from each other and are not confused.

(About pre-reading notice processing)
Here, the pre-reading notice process for executing the above-described continuous notice effect will be described. Note that the pre-reading notice process is performed when a pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 or the second start winning opening 31 (when the special figure input process is executed) as shown in FIG. That is, after the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 or the second start winning opening 31, before the next symbol change effect (first or second special figure change display) is started (special figure). Before the start process is performed), the prefetch notice process is executed. Here, the pre-reading notice process is performed based on the start-up hold information at the time of winning corresponding to the acquired winning information every time winning information (random value) is acquired triggered by the detection of the starting winning detection sensors 34 and 35. This is a process in which the main control CPU 60a sets specific information (prefetch command) to be transmitted to the CPU 65a. That is, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment specifies specific information (prefetch command) based on the acquired winning information every time winning information is acquired in response to winning at the start winning ports 30, 31. It functions as a means. In the embodiment, the pre-read command includes information about the contents of the effect performed in the symbol variation effect when the start-pending information at the time of winning corresponding to the acquired winning information is set as the start-holding information at variation start. The main control CPU 60a also functions as effect content prefetching means for specifying the effect content based on the winning information. As will be described later, it is not necessary for the main control CPU 60a to specify the content of the effect based on the acquired winning information, but the effect control CPU 65a can also specify the effect content.

  FIG. 23 shows the prefetch notice process. The main control CPU 60a displays the winning information based on the first or second winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired in response to the winning at the first starting winning port 30 or the second starting winning port 31. In the case of starting change information at the start of change, it is determined in advance whether or not a big hit game is generated as a result of the design change effect (first or second special figure change display). Specifically, the value for the special figure special figure determination random number in the first winning start hold information or the second winning start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the winning information is acquired is determined per special figure. The main control CPU 60a determines in advance (determines per prior special figure) whether or not the value matches (step C11). In other words, if the start or hold information at the time of the first or second winning matches the determination value per special figure, the affirmative determination is made as long as the gaming state (more specifically, whether it is a probability variation state or a non-probability variation state) does not change. When the start variation information is used as the start suspension information at the start of variation and the actual variation effect (symbol variation effect) is performed, a big hit occurs.

  In addition, the main control CPU 60a performs the winning based on the first or second winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired in response to the winning at the first starting winning port 30 or the second starting winning port 31. When the information is the start-up hold information at the start of change, the contents of the effect to be performed in the design change effect (first or second special figure change display) are determined in advance. Specifically, the main control CPU 60a determines in advance the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the random number for special figure fluctuation pattern distribution in the first winning start hold information or the second winning start hold information (preliminary special figure fluctuation pattern in advance). (Step C12).

  As described above, when the main control CPU 60a acquires the winning information with the winning at the starting winning ports 30, 31 as a trigger, the acquired winning information is used as a result of the symbol variation effect performed as the starting change hold information at the start of variation. A special figure variation pattern that determines the variation time of the symbol variation effect that is performed as starting hold information at the time of variation start is determined in advance while functioning as a prior hit determination means for determining whether or not a winning game is generated It functions as a prior special figure variation pattern determination means.

(About setting the prefetch command)
Further, the main control CPU 60a makes a pre-determination based on the first or second winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired in response to the winning at the first starting winning port 30 or the second starting winning port 31. When this is done, the information (prefetch command) indicating the determination result of the prior determination is transmitted to the effect control CPU 65a. Here, the pre-read command is a prior jackpot indicating the determination result of the prior winning determination based on the winning start hold information corresponding to the winning information acquired at the time of winning the first starting winning opening 30 or the second starting winning opening 31. It is a command including prior special figure fluctuation pattern information indicating the determination result of the prior special figure fluctuation pattern determination based on the information and the winning start pending information. Therefore, by referring to the pre-read command, the effect control CPU 65a performs the symbol variation performed as the variation start start hold information using the winning information acquired when winning the first starting winning port 30 or the second starting winning port 31. Whether or not a big hit occurs in the production (first or second special symbol variation display) can be identified based on prior jackpot information, and the variation time of the symbol variation production is controlled based on the prior special variation pattern information The CPU 65a can be identified. The pre-read command indicates the number of stored corresponding first or second special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c at the time of winning the first start winning opening 30 or the second start winning opening 31. The number-of-holds information and special figure type information indicating which one of the first start winning opening 30 and the second starting winning opening 31 is a pre-read command based on the winning of the pachinko ball is included. Therefore, in the case of a pre-read command triggered by winning at the first start winning opening 30, the number-of-holds information indicates the storage number of the first special figure start hold information, and In the case of a pre-read command triggered by winning a prize, the hold number information indicates the number of stored second special figure start hold information.

  Then, the main control CPU 60a sets a prefetch command (specific information) corresponding to the determination result of the pre-determination based on the winning start hold information in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and the setting of the prefetch command is completed. Here, the prefetch command set in the prefetch notice process is output to the effect control CPU 65a before the next symbol variation effect (special symbol variation display) is performed (that is, before the special symbol start process is performed next). It is set to be. Thereby, based on the result of the pre-reading notice process by the main control CPU 60a, it is possible to determine whether or not the effect control CPU 65a executes the continuous notice effect. In this way, the main control CPU 60a as the first control means generates the specific information (prefetch command) for specifying the production contents based on the winning information acquired for each winning at the starting winning ports 30, 31. The generated specific information is transmitted to the effect control CPU 65a as the second control means.

(Regarding processing related to continuous notice effect by effect control CPU 65a)
Next, processing related to the continuous notice effect executed on the effect control board 65 will be described. When a prefetch command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control board 65, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not the continuous notice effect is executed based on the prefetch command (executability determination). (Step D11). Specifically, the production control CPU 65a determines whether the pre-reading command is triggered by the winning of the pachinko ball to the first starting winning opening 30 based on the special figure type information specified from the pre-reading command, and the second starting winning opening In the case of a look-ahead command triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball to No. 31, it is decided not to perform the continuous notice effect. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, a continuous notice effect can be executed in response to the winning of a pachinko ball in the first start winning opening 30, while the winning of the pachinko ball in the second starting winning opening 31 is triggered. It is configured so that the continuous notice effect is not executed. Therefore, in the following description, a process related to the continuous notice effect performed by the effect control CPU 65a when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 is basically described. In addition, while the pachinko ball winning at the second start winning opening 31 can be executed as a trigger, the continuous notice effect can be executed, and by the determination based on the special figure type information, the pachinko ball winning at the first starting winning opening 30 is triggered. May not be executed, and the determination based on the special figure type information may be omitted, and the continuous notice effect may be executed when a pachinko ball is awarded to any of the start winning ports 30, 31. You may do it.

  Further, the effect control CPU 65a has different ratios at which the effect control CPU 65a determines the execution of the continuous notice effect depending on the determination result of the advance special figure determination specified by the advance jackpot information included in the prefetch command. Yes. In the embodiment, when the determination result of the prior special figure determination is an affirmative determination (determination to be a hit), the determination result of the prior special figure determination per determination is a negative determination (determination to be out of date). The rate at which the control CPU 65a determines execution of the continuous notice effect is set high. That is, the expectation that the big hit game is generated as a result of the continuous notice effect is increased, and the interest in executing the continuous notice effect is improved.

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

  In the embodiment, when the determination per prior special figure is affirmative, more continuous notice effect execution determination values are assigned to the affirmative determination of the continuous notice effect than the negative determination of the continuous notice effect, and the effect control CPU 65a. However, it is easy to determine the execution of the continuous notice effect. In addition, when the determination per prior special figure is negative, more determination values for whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect are assigned to the negative determination of the continuous notice effect than the positive determination of the continuous notice effect. In the embodiment, when the determination result of whether or not the continuous notice effect can be executed is affirmative, the execution flag is set in the determination storage area of the effect control RAM 65c, and the execution flag is continuously set with the execution flag set. The effect control CPU 65a can recognize that the notice effect is being executed. Note that the execution flag is returned to the initial value by performing the main variation effect of the continuous notice effect.

  In addition, the result control result of whether or not to perform the continuous notice effect by the effect control CPU 65a is determined (execution decision) by the effect control CPU 65a in a predetermined determination storage area of the effect control RAM 65c. At this point, the main control RAM 60c is configured to be temporarily stored and held in association with the number of holds of the first special figure start hold information stored. Note that the number of holds in the first special figure start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is set based on the hold number information specified from the prefetch command. As a result, the effect control CPU 65a can identify the number of changes of the symbol variation effect performed after the execution decision of the continuous notice effect, and the winning information (the start-up information at the time of winning a prize) determined to execute the continuous notice effect is changed. The effect control CPU 65a can identify the symbol change effect (the main change effect of the continuous notice effect) executed as the start hold information.

  Thus, every time the main control CPU 60a acquires the winning information, the effect control CPU 65a also functions as an effect content prefetching means for specifying the effect contents based on the acquired winning information. Further, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the continuous notice effect based on the winning information acquired with the winning of the start winning opening 30 (acquisition of entrance information by the main control CPU 60a) as a trigger. It has a function as a determination means. More specifically, the production control CPU 65a serving as the continuous notice determination means is the start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 30 (in the embodiment, the first special figure start hold). Start suspension information (in the embodiment, the first special figure start hold information), whether or not to perform a continuous notice effect over the symbol variation effect executed based on the information) is triggered by the winning at the start winning opening 30 ) Is determined based on the winning start hold information stored in ().

(Determining the number of executions)
Also, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the number of changes (execution count) of the symbol variation effect for executing the continuous notice effect when the execution of the continuous notice effect is decided ( Step D12). Here, the effect control CPU 65a executes the continuous notice effect with the stored number of the first start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c at the time when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 as the maximum number of consecutive times. The number of symbol variation effects to be performed is determined within the range of the maximum number of consecutive times. Regarding the determination of the number of executions, the time when the pachinko ball wins the first start winning opening 30 is the time when the pachinko ball wins when the main control CPU 60a sets a pre-read command that determines execution of the continuous notice effect. It is. In the embodiment, the production control CPU 65a is set to determine the number of stored first special figure start hold information specified by the hold number information of the prefetch command as the number of executions (that is, the maximum continuous number of times = the number of executions). The number of executions determined by the effect control CPU 65a as described above is stored as continuous notice execution number information in a predetermined determination storage area of the effect control RAM 65c. As described above, the effect control CPU 65a has a function as an execution number determination means for determining the number of executions of the effect unit executed in the continuous notice effect.

  The number of executions of the continuous notice effect determined by the effect control CPU 65a is set as an execution number counter in the determination storage area of the effect control RAM 65c. The value of the execution number counter is decremented by 1 every time a symbol variation effect is performed as a continuous notice effect after the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined (every time an effect designation command to be described later is output) as a new execution number. The effect control RAM 65c is set. In other words, when the execution number counter becomes “1” in a state in which execution of the continuous notice effect is decided (state in which the execution flag is set), the special figure start hold information decided to execute the continuous notice effect. Indicates that the symbol variation effect (main variation) is performed with the fluctuation start start hold information, and the execution number counter is “0”, indicating that the continuous notice effect has been completed. The execution flag is returned to the initial state when the execution number counter becomes “0”.

(Determination of continuous notice effect)
As shown in FIG. 24, when execution of the continuous notice effect is determined, the effect control CPU 65a determines an effect (specific effect) to be executed for each symbol variation (effect unit) of the continuous notice effect. (Step D13). This continuous notice effect pattern is a pattern that combines the effects of the effect performed in each symbol variation (effect unit) of the continuous notice effect, and the pattern change (effect unit) executed as the continuous notice effect. A predetermined number of continuous notice effect patterns are set for each execution count. In other words, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to determine the effect to be executed for each symbol variation (effect unit) of the continuous notice effect by determining any continuous notice effect pattern.

  In the continuous notice effect pattern of the embodiment, the effect executed in the effect unit is specified according to the number of effect units executed after the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined (the number of executions of the continuous notice effect). Yes. That is, the continuous notice effect pattern is the first effect executed in the symbol change effect that becomes the first change after the execution of the continuous notice effect and the second change after the execution of the continuous notice effect is decided. The second effect executed in the symbol change effect, the third effect executed in the symbol change effect that becomes the third change after the execution of the continuous notice effect is decided, and 4 after the execution of the continuous notice effect is decided. It is patterned in combination with the 4th effect executed at the change of the design variation effect that becomes a change, and a predetermined number of the continuous notice effect patterns are set for each number of executions of the continuous notice effect. Here, the first to fourth effects are set so that the contents of the effects performed on the effect display unit 17 are all different, and the effects displayed on the effect display unit 17 when the continuous notice effect is performed. Based on the contents (first effect to fourth effect), the number of fluctuations from the start of the continuous notice effect (the number of times of continuous notice effect) can be easily grasped. That is, the continuous notice effect is set so that the effect contents specified by the unit effect change in order as the symbol variation effect is executed based on the start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c.

  In addition, as described above, as the configuration for determining the effect (specific effect) to be executed by each symbol variation (effect unit) of the continuous notice effect, the effect of the effect performed by each symbol variation (effect unit) of the continuous notice effect as described above It is not restricted to the structure which patterns and combines the contents. For example, a plurality of effects are set in advance as effects (specific effects) that can be executed with each symbol variation (effect unit) of the continuous notice effect, and the effects to be executed with each symbol variation (effect unit) are controlled by lottery. The CPU 65a may determine it. Specifically, the effect executed by each symbol variation (effect unit) can be configured such that the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect by lottery from the first to fourth effects.

(Continuous notice effect execution process)
Next, the execution process of the effect in the continuous notice effect will be described. When the special control variation pattern designation command determined based on the start-of-variation start hold information is input from the main control CPU 60a to the production control board 65 in a state where the production control CPU 65a has decided to execute the continuous notice production, the variation The effect control CPU 65a determines the effect as the continuous notice effect to be executed in the symbol variation executed based on the starting start hold information. In the embodiment, the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect as the continuous notice effect based on the number of changes of the symbol change effect performed after the execution decision of the continuous notice effect and the continuous notice effect pattern. Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a determines the first effect in the case of the first variation symbol variation effect performed after the execution of the continuous notice effect, and the effect control CPU 65a in the case of the second variation symbol variation effect. Determines the second effect, the effect control CPU 65a determines the third effect in the case of the third change symbol effect, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the fourth effect in the case of the fourth change symbol effect. To do. Then, the effect control CPU 65a outputs an effect designation command for designating the determined content of the continuous notice effect to the display control board 70, the light emission control board 72, and the sound control board 73, so that each of the control boards 70, 72, 73 By controlling the target effect display unit 17, the light emitting decoration device 18, and the speaker 19, the effect of the continuous notice effect determined by the effect control CPU 65a is performed.

(Regarding stage change effects when performing continuous notice effects)
Next, the stage change effect when the effect control CPU 65a determines the continuous notice effect will be described. When the effect control CPU 65a determines the continuous notice effect, in the process of performing the continuous notice effect, a stage that suggests in a stepwise manner the possibility of shifting to the development effect in the development super reach effect in the main change effect of the continuous notice effect By displaying the display, the player can intuitively recognize the expectation that the development effect will be performed before the transition timing of the development effect in the main variation effect.

  In the embodiment, when it is decided to execute the continuous production, the extended super reach production is executed in the real production using the winning information that is the start pending information at the start of the fluctuation as the winning information that decides the execution of the continuous notice production. Then, when the stage of the stage display that is displayed in the stage display area when the stage control CPU 65a determines in advance (the average value of the numerical values in the embodiment) does not determine in advance that the advanced super reach stage is executed in the main variation stage. It is set to be higher than the average level of the level display displayed in the level display area. The effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the extended super reach effect in the main change effect of the continuous notice effect based on the prior special figure change pattern information included in the prefetch command input from the main control CPU 60a. It has become. That is, the special figure fluctuation pattern specified by the prior special figure fluctuation pattern information is a special figure fluctuation pattern that specifies the execution of the development super-reach effect (that is, the development super-reach off production pattern EB5 to EB6, the production pattern per development super-reach) Based on whether or not EC5 to EC6), the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the advanced super reach effect in the present change effect when the prefetch command is input.

  Here, as described above, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the execution of the advanced super reach effect is determined, the specific notice effect is executed more than when the effect other than the extended super reach effect is determined. It is configured to increase the possibility. In other words, the stage change effect executed in the process in which the continuous notice effect is performed displays step by step the possibility that the specific notice effect is performed in the development effect of the advanced super reach effect. The player can directly recognize the expectation that the specific notice effect will be performed before the execution timing of the specific notice effect in the fluctuating effect.

  The process performed by the effect control CPU 65a regarding the stage change effect when the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, description about the part which is fundamentally common with the process which presentation control CPU65a performs regarding the step change effect mentioned above may be abbreviate | omitted. Here, when determining the stage change effect in response to the main control CPU 60a determining the special figure variation pattern by executing the determination per special figure described above, whether or not to execute the specific notice effect, The effect value (display value) of each stage in the change effect is determined by the effect control CPU 65a based on the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) determined by the main control CPU 60a. On the other hand, when performing a stage change effect in a continuous notice effect, whether or not to execute a specific notice effect in the main change effect of the continuous notice effect and the effect value (display value) of each step in the continuous notice effect Is determined by the effect control CPU 65a based on the special figure fluctuation pattern specified by the prior special figure fluctuation pattern information included in the prefetch command. That is, in the embodiment, when the stage change effect is executed in the continuous notice effect, the special figure change pattern of the main change effect in the continuous notice effect or whether the specific notice effect is executed in the main change effect of the continuous notice effect is read in advance. The effect control CPU 65a determines in advance at the time of command input, thereby determining the effect value (display value) at each stage in the continuous notice effect.

  Specifically, in the effect control ROM 65b of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, a predetermined number of specific notice effects are executed for execution of specific notice effects (affirmative determination) and non-execution of specific notice effects (negative determination). A pre-execution determination table for a specific advance notice effect assigned with an availability determination value is set, and specified based on a random number for pre-determination for execution of a specific advance notice effect obtained by the effect control CPU 65a from the effect control RAM 65c when a pre-read command is input. It is configured to determine whether or not to execute the notice effect. It should be noted that the random number for determining whether or not to execute the specific advance notice effect is configured such that the effect control CPU 65a acquires from the effect control RAM 65c when the prefetch command is input. The details of the advance execution determination table for the specific notice effect are the same as those of the execution determination table for the specific notice effect described above, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Then, the effect control CPU 65a determines a numerical value (reference value) that serves as a reference for performing the stage change effect in the continuous notice effect based on the prior determination result of execution / non-execution of the specific notice effect. Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value of the numerical value to be displayed on the effect display unit 17 as the step change effect based on the reference value determination table set in the effect control ROM 65b, and the step change based on the determined reference value. The effect is displayed on the effect display unit 17. In the embodiment, the determined reference value is distributed to each symbol variation of the continuous notice effect, and the step change effect is performed based on the value (effect value) distributed in each effect unit.

  Here, in the effect control ROM 65b, a reference for the effect control CPU 65a to determine a reference value when it is determined that the specific notice effect is not executed in the present change effect in the prior determination of execution / non-execution of the specific notice effect. A value determination table and a reference value determination table for determining the reference value by the effect control CPU 65a when the execution of the specific notice effect in the fluctuating effect is decided are set, and whether or not the specific notice effect can be executed is determined in advance. In accordance with the result, the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value of the step change effect based on the corresponding reference value determination table. The first reference value determination table described above is set as the reference value determination table when it is determined that the specific notice effect is not executed in the main effect, and the specific notice effect is executed in the main effect. As the reference value determination table at the time of determination, the second reference value determination table described above is set. That is, when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined in advance, the effect control CPU 65a sets the reference value of the step change effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern specified by the prior special figure fluctuation pattern information included in the prefetch command. When the decision is made based on the reference value determination table of 1 and execution of the specific advance notice effect is decided, the reference value of the stage change effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern specified by the prior special figure fluctuation pattern information is produced. The control CPU 65a determines based on the second reference value determination table. The details of the first and second reference value determination tables are the same as described above, and will be omitted.

  As described above, when the step change effect is executed in the continuous notice effect, the reference value of the step change effect is determined using the first reference value determination table and the second reference value determination table. In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern to be a win display rather than a special figure fluctuation pattern to be a dismissal display as a result of the same effect being performed in the main fluctuation effect of the continuous notice effect, the production control CPU 65a The average value of the reference value determined by the game is increased, and finally a large numerical value (reference value) is displayed as the stage change effect. Has come to improve. Therefore, when the effect control CPU 65a predetermines execution of the specific notice effect, the average value of the reference values determined when the determination result of the advance hit determination is affirmative (win) is the determination result of the advance hit determination. It is configured to be larger than the average value of the numerical values determined in the case of negation (disconnection). In addition, the assignment of the reference value determination value to each reference value set in the first reference value determination table and the second reference value determination table is performed when the execution of the specific notice effect is determined in advance. Is larger than the average value of the reference values determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined in advance. In other words, even when the main control CPU 60a determines the same special figure variation pattern in the main variation effect of the continuous notice effect, the reference value of the step change effect is determined in accordance with the advance judgment / non-execution of the specific notice effect by the effect control CPU 65a. It is going to change. The larger the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect in the effect display unit 17, the higher the possibility of shifting to the development effect of the advanced super reach effect in the main change effect of the continuous notice effect.

  Next, the effect control CPU 65a determines the unit effect value of each symbol variation of the continuous notice effect when the reference value of the step change effect is determined. In the embodiment, the effect control CPU 65a sets the unit effect value based on the reference value for the display value (step display) displayed for each effect unit of the continuous notice effect, with the symbol variation (effect unit) of each time in the continuous notice effect as the effect block. Is configured to determine. Here, as described above, the number of executions of the continuous notice effect in the embodiment is determined up to four times in accordance with the number of special drawing start hold information held at the time when execution of the continuous notice effect is decided. Thus, the effect control CPU 65a determines the unit effect value of each symbol variation (effect unit) in the continuous notice effect based on the determined number of executions of the continuous notice effect. The effect control CPU 65a assigns a unit effect value to each symbol variation of the continuous notice effect so that the sum of the unit effect values of each symbol variation of the continuous notice effect matches the reference value. .

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, the effect control ROM 65b is set with a reference value distribution table in which the number of executions of the continuous notice effect and the ratio of dividing the reference value to each symbol variation of the continuous notice effect are set. The effect control CPU 65a determines the unit effect value of each symbol variation (effect unit) based on the reference value distribution table. In this reference value distribution table, for each number of executions of the continuous notice effect determined at the time when execution of the notice effect is decided, the main change effect of the continuous notice effect and the pattern change (one change before the main change effect) ( The ratio of the reference value is set to distribute between the (actuation unit), the symbol variation (production unit) before the second variation of the main variation production, and the symbol variation (production unit) before the third variation of the main variation production, Based on the ratio, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to distribute the reference value to each symbol variation of the continuous notice effect.

  For example, when the number of executions is “twice”, the reference value is distributed at a rate of 80% as the unit effect value of the main variation effect, and the unit effect value of the symbol variation (effect unit) one change before the main variation effect. The standard value is distributed at a rate of 20%, or the standard value is distributed at a rate of 70% as the unit effect value of the main variation effect, and at the same time, the standard effect unit value of the symbol variation (effect unit) one change before the main effect The value is distributed at a rate of 30%, or the reference value is distributed at a rate of 60% as the unit effect value of the main variation effect, and the reference value is used as the unit effect value of the symbol variation (effect unit) one change before the main effect. It is arranged at a rate of 40%. Here, the distribution ratio of the reference value is determined based on the reference value distribution random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a from the effect control RAM 65c when the prefetch command is input. That is, a predetermined number of reference value distribution determination values are assigned to each combination of reference value distribution ratios in the reference value distribution table, and the reference corresponding to the reference value distribution random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a. The effect control CPU 65a determines a combination of reference value distribution ratios to which the value distribution determination values are assigned. The same applies when the number of executions is “3 times” and “4 times”. That is, when determining the unit of each effect unit of the continuous notice effect based on the reference value determined by the effect control CPU 65a, the value to be distributed to the symbol variation (effect unit) close to the main change effect of the continuous notice effect, It is comprised so that it may become larger than the value distributed with respect to the symbol fluctuation | variation away from this fluctuation | variation effect of the continuous notice effect. That is, the change in the stage change effect becomes more prominent as the continuous notice effect approaches the main variation effect.

  In addition, when the production control CPU 65a distributes the reference value to each production unit of the continuous notice production with the combination of the distribution ratios of the reference values defined in the standard value distribution table, The effect control CPU 65a determines the rounded off value as the unit effect value (provisional value) of each effect unit, and continuously notifies the difference between the sum of the unit effect values (provisional values) of each effect unit and the reference value. It is configured to be added to the unit effect value (provisional value) of the actual change effect of the effect. For example, when the reference value is determined to be “13”, the reference value of 80% is assigned as the unit effect value of the main variation effect of the continuous notice effect, and the symbol variation (effect unit) one change before the main effect is changed. When a 40% reference value is allocated as the unit effect value, “10” is determined as the unit effect value (provisional value) of the main variation effect of the continuous notice effect from “13 × 80% = 10.4”. From “13 × 20% = 2.4”, “2” is determined as the unit effect value (provisional value) of the symbol change (effect unit) one change before the main change effect. Then, by adding the difference “1” between the sum “12” of the unit effect values (provisional value) and the reference value to the unit effect value (provisional value) of the main change effect of the continuous notice effect, the continuous notice effect is obtained. The unit effect value of the main fluctuation effect is “11”. The same applies to other execution times.

(About the display value as stage change effect)
When the unit effect value of each effect block (effect unit) is determined, the stage display areas R1 to R3 of the effect display unit 17 in each effect block are based on the effect value (cumulative value) obtained by accumulating the determined unit effect values. It is set so that the display control CPU 65a determines the display value (stage display) to be displayed. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27, a range of display values that can be displayed as a step change effect is determined for each determined effect value, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the display value within the numerical value range. It has become. For example, if the effect value of the effect block is “2”, the display value is determined in the range of “50” to “99”, and if the effect value of the effect block is “19”, “900” to “949”. The display value is determined by the range. That is, for example, while the effect of the first effect block BL1 is being performed, the display value determined with the unit effect value of the first effect block BL1 as the effect value is displayed on the effect display unit 17, and the second effect is displayed. While the effect of the block BL2 is being performed, the display value determined based on the effect value obtained by summing (accumulating) the unit effect values of the first to second effect blocks BL1 to BL2 is displayed on the effect display unit 17. While the effect of the third effect block BL3 is being performed, the display value determined based on the effect value obtained by summing (accumulating) the unit effect values of the first to third effect blocks BL1 to BL3 is the effect display unit. 17 and the display value determined based on the effect value obtained by summing (accumulating) the unit effect values of the first to third effect blocks BL1 to BL3 while the effect of the fourth effect block BL4 is being performed. Is in the production display section 17 It is configured as shown, which is adapted to be gradually increasing expectations for that specific announcement attraction is performed as symbol variation effect and continuous announcement attraction progresses. The range of display values that can be displayed as stage change effects for each effect value is set so as not to overlap.

  In this way, by converting an effect value with a small value into a display value with a large value, the impact on the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect is enhanced, and the interest of the game is improved. In addition, the method of the display value from the numerical value range defined for each production value can be determined as appropriate, and can be determined randomly using a random number, or the display value can be determined with a certain regularity. You can also. Further, the numerical range of the display value shown in FIG. 27 is merely an example, and it is natural that the display value is not limited to this.

(Regarding the stage display areas R1 to R3)
Here, in the effect display unit 17, as shown in FIG. 28, a plurality of (three in the embodiment) step display areas R1 to R3 having different display ranges for displaying the display value (step display) of the step change effect. Is set, and step display areas R1 to R3 are determined according to the value of the display value to be displayed. Specifically, the first display region R1 having the smallest display value display range, the second display region R2 having a wider display value display range than the first display region R1, and the display value A third display region R3 having the widest displayable range is defined. Here, the first display area R1 is set in a range that does not overlap the symbol rows 26a to 26c at the right corner of the display surface 17a in the effect display section 17, and the second display area R2 is in the effect display section 17. The third display region R3 is displayed from the right corner portion of the display surface 17a in the effect display portion 17 so as to overlap with a part of the symbol rows 26a to 26c from the right corner portion of the display surface 17a to the center portion of the display surface 17a. It is set to overlap with the symbol rows 26a to 26c over a wide range from the upper left corner of the surface 17a. That is, the display values displayed are more conspicuous in the order of the first display region R1, the second display region R2, and the third display region R3.

  Then, when the effect value (cumulative value) is in the first range (“1” to “10” in the embodiment), the effect control CPU 65a displays the corresponding display value (“0” to “499”). Display value) is displayed in the first display area R1, and when the effect value (cumulative value) is in the second range ("11" to "18" in the embodiment), the corresponding display value ("500 ”To“ 899 ”) are displayed in the second display area R2, and the effect value (cumulative value) is between the third range (“ 18 ”to“ 21 ”in the embodiment). Corresponding display values (display values from “900” to “1000”) are configured to be displayed in the third display region R3. That is, the area where the display value is displayed as the possibility of transition to the development effect of the development super-reach effect represented by the display value, the possibility that the specific notice effect will be executed, and the possibility that the winning display will be displayed are increased. Is configured to expand. That is, the display area of the display value (stage display) that is highly likely to be displayed as a winning display is made larger than the display area of the display value (stage display) that is unlikely to be displayed.

  Here, when executing the stage change effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect and the continuous notice effect, the effect control CPU 65a displays the stage display areas R1 to R3 at the start of at least the second symbol change (pseudo change). Control to display the display value (step display). Here, at the start of symbol variation (pseudo variation) in the pseudo continuous notice effect and the continuous notice effect, the display values displayed in the stage display areas R1 to R3 in the symbol variation (pseudo variation) one change before are continuously displayed. It is configured to That is, in the stage change effect of the pseudo continuous notice effect, the display value at the end of the first pseudo variation (effect unit) is displayed at the start of the second pseudo variation, and the end of the second pseudo change (effect unit). The display value at the time is displayed at the start of the third pseudo variation, and the display value at the end of the third pseudo variation (effect unit) is displayed at the start of the fourth pseudo variation. Similarly, in the stage change effect of the continuous notice effect, the display value at the end of the first change of the continuous notice effect is displayed at the start of the second change of the symbol change, and the end point of the second change of the continuous notice effect is displayed. The value is displayed at the start of the third variation of the symbol variation, and the display value at the end of the third variation of the continuous notice effect is displayed at the start of the fourth variation of the symbol variation. That is, when the stage change effect is performed in the continuous notice effect, the display value is displayed from the start of the main change effect of the continuous notice effect. In this way, when performing the stage change effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect and the continuous notice effect, the pseudo continuous notice effect is displayed by continuously displaying the display values (step display) in the step display areas R1 to R3. It suggests that the continuous notice effect continues.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the stage control effect is executed in the continuous notice effect, the effect control CPU 65a changes the start hold information that is already stored in the main control RAM 60c when the winning information is acquired. Display form of display variation (first stage display) executed as starting hold information at start time and design change executed as start hold information at start of change of the winning information (main change of continuous notice effect) The display form of the display value (second stage display) is determined.
That is, the effect control CPU 65a displays the display value display form as the first stage display and the display value display form as the second stage display when a predetermined display condition is satisfied at the start of the present change effect. And the display form of the display value as the second stage display and the display form of the display value as the second stage display when the predetermined display condition is not satisfied. Are determined to have the same display form. In the embodiment, it is set as the display condition that the value of the display value (first stage display) until the start of the fluctuating effect exceeds a predetermined value. When the display value exceeds the predetermined value, The display form of the display value as the first stage display is different from the display form of the display value as the second stage display. In the embodiment, “700” is set as a predetermined value. In other words, when the predetermined value is exceeded by the start of this variation effect, the display form is changed to attract the player's attention. In the embodiment, the display form is made different by changing the color, font, character (difference between Arabic numerals and Chinese numerals), etc., for displaying the display value as the first stage display and the second stage display. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any device that can identify that the display value has been changed in an identifiable form may be used.

(About display control of display value in stage change effect)
The effect control CPU 65a automatically displays the display value determined corresponding to each effect block at a predetermined timing determined for each effect block when executing the stage change effect; The display value is configured to be executed in any form of the second effect form that displays based on the operation of the operation buttons 36 and 37. In the embodiment, the production control CPU 65a is triggered by the input of a command (production effect command) that triggers a stage change effect such as a special figure variation pattern designation command or a prefetch command from the main control CPU 60a. It is configured to determine which one of the effect form and the second effect form is executed. Specifically, a predetermined number of step change effect determination values are assigned to the execution of the first effect form and the execution of the second effect form, and the step change effect determination random number acquired by the effect control CPU 65a. Based on the above, it is configured to determine execution of either the first effect form or the second effect form. In the embodiment, 100 integer values “0” to “99” are set as the random number for determining the stage change effect and the determination value for determining the stage change effect, and as the determination value for executing the first effect form. An integer value of “0” to “49” is determined, and an integer value of “50” to “99” is determined as a determination value for executing the second effect form. The random number for determining the stage change effect is configured to be updated at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment) and to temporarily store the updated value in the effect control RAM 65c to rewrite the value before the update. The effect control CPU 65a obtains a random value stored in the effect control RAM 65c when an effect trigger command such as a special figure variation pattern designation command is input to the effect control board 65 (effect control CPU 65a). Has been.

(About the first production form)
In the first effect form, as described above, the display value corresponding to the effect value (cumulative value) determined corresponding to each effect block is displayed at a predetermined display timing determined for each effect block. It is controlled by the production control CPU 65a. In the embodiment, as the display timing for displaying the display value, the same timing as the notice effect timing at which the jackpot notice effect can be executed as the notice effect indicating the possibility that the winning display is displayed in the symbol variation effect is set. In addition, the jackpot notice effect is executed at the notice effect timing and the display value is displayed. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29, a predetermined number (one place in the embodiment) of display timings (notice effect timings) is determined for each effect block, and the jackpot notice effect is executed at each notice effect timing. And the display value is displayed. Here, for the super reach production, the jackpot notice production can be executed during the super reach production.

  The display timing of the stage change effect in each effect block (that is, the notice effect timing) need not be one for each effect block. That is, it is also possible to determine a plurality of display timings (notification effect timings) for each effect block and perform the stage change effect in a plurality of times in one effect block. In addition, when performing stage change effects in a plurality of times, the display value determined for each effect block is divided, stage change effects based on the divided display values are performed at each notice effect timing, and By performing stage change effects based on the effect values set for the effect block at the final notice effect timing, the expectation that the specific notice effect will be executed as the effect of the effect block progresses and the stage shifts to the advanced super reach effect The feeling can be gradually increased.

  Here, as a jackpot notice effect that can be executed at the notice effect timing, a low-reliability notice effect that is less likely to be displayed in the symbol variation effect, and a possibility that a hit display is not displayed in the symbol variation effect is low. A medium reliability notification effect that is higher than the reliability notification effect and a high reliability notification effect that is more likely to be displayed in the symbol variation effect than the medium reliability notification effect are set. In the embodiment, the low-reliability notice effect is a notice effect in which the probability that a hit display is displayed when the big hit notice effect is performed is set to, for example, less than about 10%. For example, it is assumed that the possibility of displaying a winning display is set to, for example, about 10 to 20%, and as the high reliability notification effect, the possibility of displaying a winning display is set to, for example, 20% or more. There is a notice effect. Also, each of the low-reliability notice effect, the medium-reliability notice effect, and the high-reliability notice effect is not limited to one type, and a plurality of types of notice effects are set as the respective notice effects. In addition, as the big hit announcement effect, the effect display portion 17 may display a character such as an effect image of a specific character or the like, such as “winning?”, “CHANCE”, “檄 atsu”, etc. An effect suggested by display or the like can be mentioned, but the present invention is not limited to this. Also, the jackpot notice effect (low reliability notice effect, high reliability notice effect) that can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a at the notice effect timing of the effect block may be partially or entirely different at each notice effect timing. It is also possible to determine the effect to be executed by the effect control CPU 65a from the same type of jackpot notice effect at each notice effect timing.

  The effect control CPU 65a is configured to individually determine the type of jackpot notice effect to be executed at each notice effect timing when a special figure variation pattern designation command is input, and execute the jackpot notice effect at the notice effect timing. Is output to the display control board 70, the light emission control board 72, the sound control board 73, and the like, thereby controlling the determined type of jackpot notice effect to be executed. Here, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30, the jackpot notice effect executed at the notice effect timing according to the type of the special figure fluctuation pattern (input special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) determined by the main control CPU 60 a. The ratio of the notice effect that can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a is different. Specifically, when a hit special symbol variation pattern in which a winning display is displayed as a result of the symbol variation effect is determined, the effect control CPU 65a performs the low reliability warning effect, the medium reliability warning effect, and the high reliability warning effect. The ratio of determining the big hit notice effect in order is high, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the low reliability notice effect and the medium reliability notice effect when the hit special figure change pattern is displayed as a result of the symbol change effect. The ratio of determining the jackpot notice effect in the order of the high reliability notice effect is configured to be low.

  In addition, the special figure in which the development super-reach effect is executed when comparing the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which the development super-reach production is performed or the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the production other than the development super-reach production is performed. When the variation pattern is determined, the ratio that the effect control CPU 65a determines a highly reliable jackpot notice effect (high reliability notice effect) is higher than when the effect other than the development super reach effect is executed. It is configured. That is, the average value of the display values of the stage change effect determined by the effect control CPU 65a corresponding to the notice effect timing at which the jackpot notice effect (high reliability notice effect) at which a big hit game is likely to occur is performed, It becomes higher than the average value of the display value of the stage change effect determined by the effect control CPU 65a in response to the notice effect timing at which the notice effect (low-reliability notice effect) with a low possibility of occurrence of a hit game is performed. ing. Therefore, as the jackpot notice effect with a high possibility of generating a big hit game is executed, a larger value is displayed as the step change effect in the effect display unit 17 at the notice effect timing, and the development of the advanced super reach effect is performed. The possibility of shifting to production is increased.

(About the 2nd production form)
In the second effect form, when the operation means 36, 37 is operated (pressed), the effect control CPU 65a receives an operation signal input from the operation detection sensors 36a, 37a (effective stage change effect effective period T). ) Is set, and the operation means 36 and 37 are operated during the stage change effect effective period T (the operation detection sensors 36a and 37a detect the operation), so that an operation signal is input to the effect control CPU 65a. In this case, the display value of the stage change effect can be displayed. Here, the stage change effect effective period T is set in accordance with a predetermined display timing (effect timing) for displaying the stage change effect within the effect period of each effect block in the design variation effect. When the operation buttons 36 and 37 are operated during the stage change effect effective period T corresponding to each effect block, a display value corresponding to the effect value (cumulative value) set corresponding to the effect block is displayed. Configured to That is, in the second effect form, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to accept input of operation signals from the operation buttons 36 and 37 during the stage change effect effective period T in each effect block. As described above, in the second effect form, the display value is displayed in the stage display area of the effect display unit 17 in response to the operation of the operation buttons 36 and 37, and the advanced super reach effect or the specific notice effect may be executed. By suggesting this, the player is encouraged to actively participate in the game, thereby enhancing the interest of the game.

  Here, in the embodiment, the stage change effect effective period T is configured to be set to a part of the effect block. That is, when a specific special figure variation pattern is determined, the stage change effect effective period T is set at the display timing for displaying at least the display value of the final stage in the stage change effect, and the display value of the final stage is set. Can be displayed by operating the operation buttons 36 and 37. In the embodiment, when a special figure variation pattern in which super reach production (previous stage super reach production and development super reach production) is determined, the stage is displayed in accordance with the display timing for displaying the display value of the final stage of the stage change production. A change effect effective period T is set. That is, the stage change effect effective period T is set for the third block in the case of the effect block patterns BLP2 to BLP4, and the step change effect effective period T is set in the fourth block in the case of the effect block patterns BLP5 to BLP5. Has been. It should be noted that the display value of the stage change effect is displayed regardless of the operation of the operation means 36 and 37 at the display timing of the other effect blocks. In this way, by enabling the detection of the operation of the operation means 36 and 37 at the final display timing for displaying the display value of the stage change effect, the player's active display of the display value of the final stage in the stage change effect is performed. It is possible to display according to the intention.

  Further, in the embodiment, during the step change effect effective period T, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to continuously receive an operation signal accompanying the operation of the operation buttons 36 and 37, and during the step change effect effective period T. In addition, the operation buttons 36 and 37 can be operated a plurality of times. That is, every time the operation buttons 36 and 37 are operated during the stage change effect effective period T, the effect control CPU 65a can display a display value that can be displayed as a stage change effect based on the effect value (cumulative value) of each effect block. Within the range of (in the range of display values that can be displayed in each production period), control is performed to update and display the numerical value displayed on the production display unit 17 so as to increase. For example, when the effect value of the effect block is “2”, the numerical value is updated and displayed on the effect display unit 17 within a display value range (that is, a range of “50” to “99”). Is done. Each time the operation buttons 36 and 37 are operated, a certain value (for example, “3”) may be added to the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17, and each time the operation buttons 36 and 37 are operated. The value to be added may be determined and added. In this way, every time the operation buttons 36 and 37 are operated, the numerical value displayed on the effect display unit 17 is added and updated, so that the expectation to shift to the advanced super reach effect and the specific notice effect are executed. The production that enhances the expectation is possible.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 31, the effect control CPU 65a uses the first stage change effect effective period (first effect timing) in which the detection associated with the operation of the first operation button 36 is effective as the step change effect effective period T. ) T1 and a second stage change effect effective period (second effect timing) T2 in which detection associated with the operation of the second operation button 37 is effective can be set. That is, when the first stage change effect effective period T1 and the second stage change effect effective period T2 are set, the step change effect is obtained by operating the first operation button 36 in the first stage change effect effective period T1. And the display value of the step change effect is displayed by operating the second operation button 37 in the second step change effect effective period T2, while the reverse operation is performed in each of the periods T1 and T2. When the buttons 36 and 37 are operated, the display value of the stage change effect is not displayed.

  In the embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines a specific hit special figure variation pattern, the first and second stage change effect effective periods T1, T2 are set as the second effective period T corresponding to any effect block. The effect control CPU 65a can be set. Specifically, when the first to second development super-reach special map variation patterns PC5 to PC6 are determined as specific hit special map variation patterns, a specific production block (second production block BL2 in the embodiment) is determined. ), The effect control CPU 65a determines whether to set the first and second stage change effect effective periods T1 and T2. In the embodiment, the stage change effect effective period T in the effect blocks other than the specific effect block is configured to enable only the detection accompanying the operation of the first operation button 36. It should be noted that whether to set both the first and second stage change effect effective periods T1 and T2 or only the first stage change effect effective period T1 is determined based on the characteristics per first to second development super reach. A valid period determining random number is acquired when a special figure changing pattern designation command for specifying the figure changing patterns PC5 to PC6 is input, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the random number value according to the acquired random number value.

  Further, when the operation value of the first operation button 36 is detected and the display value of the step change effect is displayed, the operation value of the second operation button 37 is detected and the display value of the step change effect is displayed. It is comprised so that the display mode of a display value may differ. That is, when the operation of the first operation button 36 is detected during the first stage change effect effective period T1 and when the operation of the second operation button 37 is detected during the second stage change effect effective period T2. Thus, the display mode of the display value of the stage change effect is configured to be different from each other. In the embodiment, the display value is displayed with white characters as the display mode (first operation display mode) when the operation value of the first operation button 36 is detected and the display value of the step change effect is displayed. On the other hand, as a display mode (second operation display mode) when the operation of the second operation button 37 is detected and the display value is displayed, the display value is displayed by gold characters. Here, as described above, when the hit special figure variation patterns PC5 to PC6 are determined, the display value of the step change effect can be displayed when the operation of the second operation button 37 is detected. ing. That is, when the display value of the stage change effect is displayed in the second operation display mode, the big hit game is performed after the symbol change effect (the determination per special symbol is a win determination result). The player is configured to be notified in the middle of the production.

  Further, in the embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 operates the operation buttons 36, 37 in a specific period within a period (step change effect effective period T) in which the display value of the step change effect can be displayed by operating the operation buttons 36, 37. The effect control CPU 65a controls the operation notification effect to notify that the operation 37 is valid. In the embodiment, the operation button (the first operation button 36) is displayed during a period in which the display value of the step change effect can be displayed by operating the first operation button 36 (the second effective period T (including the first step change effect effective period T1)). The effect control CPU 65a controls to perform the first operation notification effect for notifying that the operation of the first operation button 36) is effective, and the display value of the step change effect can be displayed by operating the second operation button 37. A second operation notification effect for notifying that the operation of the operation button (second operation button 37) is effective during the active period (second effective period T (second stage change effect effective period T2)) It is configured.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 31, the first operation notification effect of the embodiment displays a display image representing an operation button (specifically, the first operation button 36) on the effect display unit 17, The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the illuminator included in the operation button (specifically, the first operation button 36) to emit light. That is, in accordance with the start timing of the first stage change effect effective period T1, a control command for instructing the start of the first operation notification effect is output to the display control board 70 and the light emission control board 72, and the first stage change effect is output. In accordance with the end timing of the effective period T1, the effect control CPU 65a controls to output a control command for instructing the end of the first operation notification effect to the display control board 70 and the light emission control board 72, and the effect display unit 17 and The first operation notification effect is executed by the first operation button 36. On the other hand, the second operation notification effect is configured to be controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so that the light emitter provided in the operation button (specifically, the second operation button 37) emits light. That is, in accordance with the start timing of the second stage change effect effective period T2, a control command instructing the start of the second operation notification effect is output to the light emission control board 72, and the end of the second stage change effect effective period T2 In accordance with the timing, the effect control CPU 65a controls the light emission control board 72 to output a control command for instructing the end of the second operation notification effect, and causes the second operation button 37 to execute the second operation notification effect. At the same time, the first stage change effect effective period T1 is configured to end.

  Thus, in the first operation notification effect, in addition to the operation button (first operation button 36) itself, the operation button (first operation button 36) is operated using the effect display unit 17 that the player pays attention to. By actively notifying that the game is effective, the player is encouraged to execute the stage change effect by operating the operation button to enhance the interest of the game, and in the second operation notification effect, By displaying that the operation of the operation button (second operation button 37) is effective in an inconspicuous form (a form that is difficult to recognize) compared to the operation notification effect, the display value of the step change effect is displayed. It is trying to increase the fun of the game by increasing the unexpectedness of the game. That is, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment recognizes that the detection by the operation button (first operation button 36) is effective during the second effective period in which the detection by the operation buttons 36 and 37 is effective in the symbol variation. It is difficult to recognize that the detection by the operation button (second operation button 37) is more effective than the first stage change effect effective period T1 (notification effect timing) and the first stage change effect effective period T1. An effective period (non-notification effect timing) is set.

  In other words, the main control CPU 60a included in the main control board 60 of the embodiment obtains winning information such as random numbers triggered by the establishment of the starting condition (winning the first starting winning portion or the second starting winning portion). As a function. In addition, a hit determination means for performing a hit determination (determination per special figure) triggered by the establishment of the start condition, and a hit game given from a plurality of types of hit games triggered by the hit determination being a hit determination result The hit game determination means for determining the type, and the hit game granting means for giving the hit game after the end of the special figure variation display (after the end of the symbol variation effect) triggered by the hit judgment being the hit judgment result. The main control CPU 60a has a function. Specifically, the main control CPU 60a determines a symbol (special symbol per symbol) from a plurality of types of symbols (special symbols) stored in the main control ROM 60b when the main control CPU 60a as the hit determination means determines that the symbol is a hit. It has a function as a symbol determination means. The main control CPU 60a triggers the establishment of the start condition, and the special control fluctuation pattern determination means (fluctuation pattern determination means) for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern from a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns (variation patterns) stored in the main control ROM 60b. It has the function as.

  The main control CPU 60a functions as a probability change determining means for determining whether or not to give a probability variation state in which the probability that the determination of the hit determination means will be a hit determination result is higher than normal, and the probability change state after the winning game is ended. It is comprised so that it may function as a probability change provision means to provide. Here, the main control CPU 60a of the embodiment specifies the gaming state based on the probability change flag and the change flag set in the storage means such as the main control RAM 60c. In this way, the main control CPU 60a, when the winning determination is a winning determination result, is a privilege state that is advantageous to the player after the winning game based on winning in the first starting winning port 30 or the second starting winning port 31. It has a function as a privilege state determination means for determining whether (probable change state or variable state) is given.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a continuously performs a plurality of symbol variations using a single symbol variation performed based on the hold information stored in the hold storage device when the information acquisition device acquires start information as an effect unit. When the information acquisition unit acquires the start information, the symbol variation is performed based on the hold information corresponding to the start information. Acts as a pre-hit determination unit that determines whether the symbol change will cause a winning game, and when the information acquisition unit acquires the startup information, the effect of the symbol variation performed based on the hold information corresponding to the startup information It also functions as a prior effect determination means for determining whether

  Further, the main control RAM 60c functions as special figure holding storage means capable of storing a plurality of winning information as special figure start holding information. Specifically, the winning information acquired by the detection of the first starting winning detection sensor 34 while the variable display is being performed on the display means (the effect display unit 17 and the first special figure display unit 50A) is the first. While the variable display is being performed on the first special figure hold storage means and the display means (the effect display unit 17 and the second special figure display unit 50B) stored as special figure start hold information, the second start winning detection sensor 35 It functions as a second special figure reservation storing means for storing the winning information acquired with the detection as a second special figure start holding information.

In addition, the effect control CPU 65a included in the effect control board 65 of the embodiment has a function as an effect determining unit that determines an effect to be performed by an effect executing unit such as the effect display unit (the effect display unit 17). It functions as an execution control means for executing an effect. That is, the effect control CPU 65a functions as an effect display control means for controlling the display effect of the effect display means (effect display unit 17).

Furthermore, the effect control CPU 65a functions as a second game state specifying means that can specify a game state in which a game is performed (whether or not a certain change state is given or whether or not a change state is given). Yes. Here, the effect control CPU 65a of the embodiment specifies the gaming state based on the probability change information flag and the change information flag set in the storage means such as the effect control RAM 65c based on the control signal from the main control board 60. .

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

  In the actual example of the pachinko machine 10, the special control fluctuation pattern is determined by the main control CPU 60a when the special figure hit determination is executed based on the start hold information (start change hold information at the start of change) stored in the main control RAM 60c. When the special figure variation pattern designation command is input to the effect control board 65, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not to execute the specific notice effect based on the execution decision table for the specific notice effect. When it is determined that the specific notice effect is not executed, the effect control CPU 65a determines the reference value of the step change effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) based on the first reference value determination table. When the execution of the specific notice effect is decided, the stage change effect reference value corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern (special figure fluctuation pattern designation command) is produced based on the second reference value decision table. The control CPU 65a determines. Further, when the reference value for the stage change effect is determined, the corresponding effect pattern is determined based on the special figure variation pattern designation command, and the effect block patterns BLP1 to BLP6 for performing the stage change effect based on the determined effect pattern. The effect control CPU 65a determines the unit effect value for each effect unit (effect block) specified by the determined effect block patterns BLP1 to BLP6.

  Here, when determining the unit effect value for each effect unit (effect block), the effect control CPU 65a determines the minimum assigned value of each effect unit (effect block) specified by the effect block patterns BLP1 to BLP6, Since the remaining value obtained by subtracting the total of the minimum assigned values from the predetermined reference value is set to be assigned to each effect unit (effect block), the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect is assigned to each effect unit (effect block). It can be dispersed to some extent, and a sense of expectation for the stage change effect can be maintained over the entire design variation effect. In other words, in the initial notice effect that is displayed only once when the effect is executed, the effect of enhancing the interest of the game can be expected only when the effect is executed, whereas the expectation for the stage change effect over the entire pattern change effect is expected. By maintaining the feeling, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game of the entire symbol variation.

  In addition, when determining the unit effect value for each effect unit (effect block), the minimum allocation value that is the reference for performing the stage change effect for each effect block is determined in advance, and the end side of the design variation effect is determined. By setting to determine the added value of each effect block in the range of the remaining value in the order of the effect unit (effect block) to the start side effect block, it is possible to perform stage change effect appropriately from the start of the design variation effect In addition, it is possible to gradually increase the expectation that the super reach production and the specific notice production will be executed. And, by changing the remaining values in the order from the end of the effect unit (effect block) of the symbol variation effect to the start of the effect unit (effect block) on the start side, the specific notice effect is executed as the symbol variation effect progresses It is possible to appropriately distribute numerical values so that the distribution will increase the expectation that is expected.

  Further, in the embodiment, as the symbol variation effect advances and the effect block advances, the unit effect value of each effect block determined by the effect control CPU 65a is accumulated, and based on the accumulated effect value (cumulative value). As the stage change effect is performed, the numerical value displayed as the stage change effect increases as the design variation effect progresses, and the expectation that the advanced super reach effect and the specific notice effect will be executed is increased. Increase gradually and lead to improvement of interest.

  Here, the reference value determined by the effect control CPU 65a determines the final value of the display value (step display) displayed in the step change effect. That is, the final display value (stage display at the final stage) in the stage change effect is determined by the effect control CPU 65a according to the reference value (that is, the total of the effect values). Here, in the embodiment, the average value (average stage) of the reference value (stage display determined as the final stage) determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the execution of the specific notice effect is determined is not executed. When it is determined, it is configured to be larger than the average value (average stage) of the reference values determined by the presentation control CPU 65a, thereby recognizing the possibility that the specific advance notice presentation will be executed by the numerical value displayed as the stage change presentation. It is possible to enhance the interest of the player by increasing the player's interest in displaying the specific notice effect from the early stage of the symbol variation effect. The average value (average stage) of the reference value when the execution of the specific notice effect is determined is higher than the average value (average stage) of the reference value determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the non-execution of the specific notice effect is determined. With this configuration, it is possible to recognize the possibility that the specific notice effect will be executed based on the numerical value displayed as the step change effect, and the player for the specific notice effect being displayed from the early stage of the symbol variation effect It is possible to increase the interest of the game and improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, the stage display (display value) displayed in the stage change effect is not only the execution / non-execution of the specific notice effect, but also a reference value determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the advanced super reach effect is executed in the design variation. By configuring the average value (average stage) to be higher than the average value (average stage) of the reference value determined by the effect control CPU 65a when the non-execution of the development super reach effect is determined, the design variation effect is quick. It is possible to increase the interest of the player for the development of the super-reach production from the stage and to enhance the interest of the game. In this way, the possibility that the advanced super reach effect is performed differs depending on the step display (numerical value) displayed step by step in the symbol variation effect, thereby further increasing the player's interest in the display contents as the step display. .

  Moreover, since the stage display (numerical value) of the stage change effect displayed on the effect display unit 17 is easily changed (increased) easily as the symbol change effect (effect block) progresses, By proceeding, it is possible to increase the player's expectation that an advanced super reach production or specific notice production will be performed. In addition, each time a stage display (numerical value) is displayed, it attracts interest in the game by increasing the expectation that the advanced super reach production and specific notice production represented by the stage display (numerical value) will be executed. obtain. In addition, the numerical value displayed in the stage change effect not only suggests the possibility of executing the specific notice effect, but also indicates the possibility that a hit game may occur as a result of the symbol variation effect. , The player's interest in numerical values is further increased.

  In the embodiment, it is configured so that a specific advance notice effect can be executed in the middle of execution of the first stage super reach effect and the advanced super reach effect which are the final version of the effect performed in the symbol change effect, and the symbol change effect is performed. Since the stage change effect can be executed from the beginning or middle stage, in the early or middle stage of the pattern change effect, the expectation to shift to the previous stage super-reach production or the advanced super reach production through the numerical value displayed in the stage change effect It is possible to increase the interest in the overall production performed in the design variation production.

  In addition, in the embodiment, by performing the stage change effect in the pseudo continuous notice effect in which the specific effect is performed for each of the plurality of effect units divided by the predetermined effect delimiter, the pseudo continuous notice effect can be executed. The possibility of an advanced super reach production being executed can be recognized step by step, and the player's expectation that the super reach production will be performed in the continuous production can be enhanced to enhance the interest of the game.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, it is possible not only to perform a stage change effect within one symbol variation, but also to execute a stage change effect in a continuous effect where a specific effect is performed in a plurality of symbol variations. It has become. That is, in the step change effect of the continuous notice effect, the step display is performed before the actual change effect is executed (symbol change performed based on the start hold information for which the determination per special figure is not executed when the winning information is acquired). (First stage display) is displayed, and stage display (second stage display) in this variation effect (symbol variation performed based on the start hold information corresponding to the winning information that triggered the execution of the continuous notice effect) ) Is displayed, the possibility that an extended super-reach effect or a specific notice effect will be executed in the main change effect in the continuous notice effect is shown in the relevant notice in the continuous notice effect that straddles multiple symbol changes. It can be made to recognize step by step before the change effect is executed. For this reason, by performing stage change effects in continuous notice effects, the player's expectation that advanced super reach effects and specific notice effects will be performed in this change effect will be sustained over multiple symbol changes. Can improve the fun of gaming.

  In this way, by executing the stage change effect in the continuous notice effect in which a specific effect is performed in a plurality of symbol variations, the special figure start pending corresponding to the winning answer that triggered the execution of the continuous notice effect is determined. A game in which a super reach effect is performed in a continuous notice effect that spans multiple symbol changes by making the possibility of a super reach effect being executed step by step based on information Can raise the expectations of the player and improve the fun of the game. Further, the possibility that the super reach effect is performed differs depending on the step display displayed step by step in the step change effect, thereby further increasing the player's interest in the step display.

  In addition, when stage change effects are executed in pseudo continuous notice effects or continuous notice effects, the stage display of the stage change effects is displayed in different display forms in the effect units of the pseudo continuous notice effects or continuous notice effects. Therefore, it is possible to easily grasp the change in the stage display of the stage change effect. In particular, the stage display of the stage change effect is displayed in different display forms in the final effect unit in the pseudo continuous notice effect and the main change effect of the continuous notice effect (the first stage display and the second stage display are displayed differently). It is possible to recognize that it is a production unit in which the super reach production is performed in these continuous productions (the timing at which the super reach production is performed).

  In addition, when the step change effect is executed in the pseudo continuous notice effect or the continuous notice effect, the step display of the step change effect is displayed in the same display form in the effect unit of the pseudo continuous notice effect or the continuous notice effect (first display). If the stage display and the second stage display are made the same display form), a stage change effect with high continuity and unity can be performed in a continuous effect.

  In addition, while performing the notice effect that suggests the possibility of winning a game at the notice effect timing in the symbol change effect, the stage indication (numerical value) of the stage change effect is displayed, so that It is possible to obtain a synergistic production effect of the expectation of the game and the expectation of the super reach production caused by the stage change production. In particular, when a notice effect with a high possibility of winning a hit game is performed, the stage indication (numerical value) that is likely to execute the super reach effect is easily displayed at the notice effect timing. It is possible to enhance the synergistic effect of the expectation for the hit game caused by the production and the expectation for the super reach production caused by the stage change production.

  In addition, the stage display (numerical value) of the stage change effect is displayed in turn in response to the player's operation of the operation buttons 36 and 37, thereby increasing the player's interest in the stage change effect. it can. Here, the stage display of the final stage in the stage change effect can be displayed triggered by the operation of the player's operation buttons 36 and 37, thereby attracting the player's interest in the final stage display more strongly. In addition, you can enhance the fun of the game. Further, the stage display (numerical value) of the stage change effect is displayed in order in response to the player operating the first operation button 36 and the second operation button 37, and the first operation button 36 is operated. By changing the display mode of the displayed stage display depending on whether the second operation button 37 is operated or not, the stage change effects can be varied to enhance the interest of the game.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment is configured to be able to display a stage display of the final stage of the stage change production at the production timing in the middle of the super reach production (previous stage super reach production or development super reach production). Here, the stage change effect of the embodiment not only suggests the possibility of shifting to the advanced super reach effect by the stage display (numerical value) of the stage change effect, but may also be directed to execute the specific notice effect. It is configured to suggest the possibility that a sex or jackpot game will occur. Therefore, by displaying the stage display of the final stage of the stage change effect at the stage of the stage of the super reach effect, not only the result of the super reach effect but also the stage display displayed as the final stage of the stage change effect Can raise the interest of the person.

In addition, in the embodiment, not only the display contents of the stage display but also the size of the display area (display range) for displaying the stage display suggests the possibility that the winning display is displayed. It is possible to increase the interest of the game by making the player interested in the display range in which is displayed. Moreover, the visual effect by a stage change production | presentation can be heightened by enabling it to change the magnitude | size of a display area according to a stage display.
