In the effect display device 12, a display effect related to the special symbol variation game is performed. As an example of the display effect, a decorative pattern variation game is performed in which a plurality of types of decorative symbols are displayed in a variable manner in a plurality of columns. The decorative design is a design for production (production design) used for diversifying display production.

  In the effect display device 12, the decorative symbol variation game is started simultaneously with the start of the special symbol variation game. In the effect display device 12, the decorative symbol combination is temporarily stopped before the end of the special symbol variation game, and at the same time or almost simultaneously with the end of the special symbol variation game, the decorative symbol combination is confirmed and stopped. The “Temporary stop display” is a state indicating that there is a possibility that the symbol may be variably displayed again in the display area, such as a fluctuation state.

  The effect display device 12 displays a display result corresponding to the display result of the special symbol variation game. When the winning symbol is confirmed and stopped in the special symbol variation game, the winning symbol combination based on the decorative symbol is also confirmed and stopped on the effect display device 12. In the special symbol variation game, when the shift symbol is displayed in a fixed stop state, the effect display device 12 also displays the stop symbol combination by the decorative symbol in a fixed stop display.

  In addition, a plurality of winning holes through which game balls can be entered are arranged in the game area YBa of the game board YB. The winning opening includes a first starting winning opening 13, a second starting winning opening 14, and a big winning opening 16.

  The first start winning opening 13 is a winning opening through which a game ball is inserted when the start condition for the special symbol variation game is established. In this embodiment, the first start winning opening 13 is located below the effect display device 12, and is always opened so that a game ball can be entered. A sensor (starting sensor SE1 shown in FIG. 2) that detects a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the first start winning opening 13.

  The second start winning opening 14 is a winning opening through which a game ball is inserted when the start condition of the special symbol variation game is established. In this embodiment, the second start winning opening 14 is located below the first starting winning opening 13. The second start winning opening 14 allows a game ball to enter when the predetermined condition is satisfied (when a normal symbol is won), and the opening / closing blade (ordinary electric accessory) 15 opens, or enters the ball To be easy to do. On the other hand, the second start winning opening 14 is closed so that the opening and closing blades 15 cannot close the game balls due to the closing operation. The opening / closing blade 15 operates by receiving power from an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.). In this embodiment, the opening / closing blade 15 is operated by the actuator AC1 shown in FIG. In addition, a sensor (starting sensor SE2 shown in FIG. 2) that detects a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the second starting winning opening 14.

  The big winning opening 16 is a winning opening through which a game ball is inserted when the payout condition of the winning ball is established. In this embodiment, the big winning opening 16 is located below the second starting winning opening 14. The big winning opening 16 is opened so that a game ball can be entered by opening the big winning opening door 17 when the winning lottery is won. On the other hand, the grand prize winning opening 16 is closed so that the game winning ball cannot be entered when the special winning prize opening door 17 is closed. The grand prize winning door 17 operates by receiving power from an actuator (solenoid, motor, etc.). In this embodiment, the big prize door 17 is operated by the actuator AC2 shown in FIG. In addition, a sensor (count sensor CS shown in FIG. 2) that detects a game ball that has entered the ball is disposed in the back of the special winning opening 16.

The gate port 19 of the operation gate 18 is a entrance for allowing a game ball to enter when the start condition of the normal symbol variation game using the normal symbol is satisfied. The open / close blade 15 wins the normal symbol winning lottery performed by the game ball entering the operating gate 18, and after the normal symbol winning symbol is derived in the normal symbol variation game, the closed state is changed to the open state. Operate.

  In addition, a hold display device 20 and a normal symbol display device 21 are disposed in the game area YBa. These display devices are located in a portion of the game board YB that can be visually recognized by the player when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front.

  The hold display device 20 displays the number of special symbol variation games whose execution is suspended (the number of special symbol holds). The normal symbol display device 21 performs a normal symbol variation game using a normal symbol, and in the normal symbol variation game, a normal symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the normal symbol winning lottery is derived.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a probability variation function. The probability variation function is a function for providing a probability variation state (hereinafter, referred to as a probability variation state) in which the lottery probability of the winning lottery is set to a high probability state after the winning game ends. In this embodiment, the probability variation state is given until the next winning lottery is won.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a ball entry rate improving function. The winning rate improving function gives a winning rate improving state for improving the winning rate per unit time to a specific winning opening (in this embodiment, the second starting winning opening 14) after the winning game is finished. It is a function. The method for improving the rate of entering a specific winning opening may be, for example, a method of shortening the variation time of the normal symbol variation game as compared with the non-entrance rate improvement state. Further, a method may be used in which the winning probability of the normal winning lottery is higher than the non-entrance rate improvement state. In addition, when winning the normal winning lottery, a method may be used in which the opening time of the opening / closing blade 15 based on a single winning for the normal winning lottery is made longer than the non-entrance rate improvement state. In addition, the variation time of the special symbol variation game, in particular, the variation time of the special symbol variation game in which the outlier symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed may be shortened as compared with the non-entrance rate improvement state. Moreover, you may combine these methods arbitrarily.

  In this embodiment, a special symbol variation game is executed for the specified upper limit number of times (in this example, 100 times) until the winning lottery is won next time or after the winning rate improvement state is given in this embodiment. Until the specified maximum number of times is reached or until the winning lottery is won.

Next, the winning game will be described.
The winning game is started after the winning symbol is confirmed and stopped in the special symbol changing game and the game is finished. In the winning game, a round game in which the special winning opening 16 is opened is performed a plurality of times with an upper limit of a predetermined number of rounds (15 rounds in this embodiment). During one round game, the grand prize winning opening 16 is opened until one of a first end condition for entering the upper limit number of game balls to enter or a second end condition for which a predetermined time elapses is satisfied. Is done. When all the round games are finished, the winning game is finished.

Next, the hit type will be described.
In this embodiment, a plurality of hits are set. As an example, a probability variation and a non-probability variation are set. When the probability variation is determined, regardless of the game state at the time when the winning lottery is performed, after the winning game is finished, a probability variation state and a state where the winning rate is improved are given until the next winning lottery is won. In addition, when a non-probable change is determined, regardless of the game state when the winning lottery is performed, the non-probable change state is given after the winning game is finished, and a special symbol variation game of the specified upper limit number of times is executed. Up to the upper limit, the entry rate improvement state is given.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, various boards including a main board 30 and a sub board 31 are mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  The main board 30 includes a main control CPU 30a, a main control ROM 30b, a main control RAM 30c, and a random number generation circuit 30d. Various display devices 11, 20, and 21, various sensors SE1, SE2, CS, and GS, and various actuators AC1 and AC2 are connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for the main control CPU 30a to execute processing related to the game. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns.

  The variation pattern indicates a pattern that is a base of a game effect from when the special symbol starts to vary until when the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. The variation pattern can specify the variation time (effect time) from when the special symbol starts to vary until the special symbol is confirmed and stopped. The variation patterns are classified into variation patterns for hit variation and variation patterns for deviation variation.

An example of the variation pattern set in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described based on FIG.
The variation pattern P <b> 1 is a variation pattern for a deviation variation that is determined when a winning lottery is not won and a reach lottery is not won, without a reach effect. The variation patterns P2 and P3 are variation patterns for variability fluctuations with reach effects, which are determined when the winning lottery is not won and the reach lottery is won. The variation patterns P4 and P5 are variation patterns for winning variation determined when winning the winning lottery. The fluctuation patterns P1 to P5 are associated with fluctuation times J1 to J5 as fluctuation times, respectively.

  Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a hit determination value used in the winning lottery, a reach determination value used in the reach lottery, and a normal hit determination value used in the normal hit lottery. The hit judgment value includes a hit judgment value for the non-probability change state (low probability judgment value) used in the winning lottery during the non-probability change state and a hit judgment value for the probability change state used in the hit lottery during the probability change state (high There is a certain judgment value). The number of high-accuracy determination values is larger than the number of low-accuracy determination values. Moreover, although the total number of low-accuracy determination values and high-accuracy determination values is different, some values are common values. The common value is a value that is won in the winning lottery in the probability variation state and the non-probability variation state. On the other hand, other values other than the common value in the high-accuracy determination value are non-common values different from the low-accuracy determination value (common value). The non-common value is a value that is won in the winning state in the probability variation state, but is not won in the non-probability state.

The main control RAM 30c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10.
The main control CPU 30a executes random number update processing (software random number generation processing) in which various software random number values are updated every predetermined control cycle (interrupt cycle) and stored in the main control RAM 30c. The software random number includes a reach random number used for reach lottery, a special symbol random number used when determining a winning symbol for a special symbol, a variation pattern distribution random number used when distributing a variation pattern, and the like. The random number generation circuit 30d generates a hardware random number by updating one value for each cycle of an internal system clock (for example, 10 MHz) supplied from a clock circuit (not shown) mounted on the microprocessor. The hardware random number is a per-random number used for the winning lottery or a normal per-random number used for the normal winning lottery.

Next, the sub-board 31 will be described.
The sub-board 31 includes a sub-control CPU 31a, a sub-control ROM 31b, and a sub-control RAM 31c. The effect display device 12, the speaker SP, the decoration lamp LA, and the effect button BT are connected to the sub control CPU 31a.

  The sub-control CPU 31a executes random number update processing (software random number generation processing) for updating various software random number values at predetermined control cycles (interrupt cycles) and storing them in the sub-control RAM 31c. The sub-control ROM 31b stores a plurality of effect control programs for executing processing related to execution of game effects and the like.

  The sub-control ROM 31b stores display effect data for display effects, sound effect data for sound output, and light emission effect data for light emission effects. The sub-control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. In addition, a plurality of types of effect patterns are stored in the sub-control ROM 31b of this embodiment. The effect pattern can specify the variation content (effect content) of the game effect executed in the variation time specified by the variation pattern. One or more production patterns are associated with one variation pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, in this embodiment, the production patterns E1 to E3 and E5 are associated with the variation patterns P1 to P3 and P5 on a one-to-one basis. On the other hand, a plurality of (four in this embodiment) effect patterns E4a, E4b, E4c, and E4d are associated with the variation pattern P4. Note that the contents of variation associated with the production pattern will be described in detail later.

Hereinafter, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main board 30 based on the main control program will be described.
First, the special symbol input process will be described.

  The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered any of the start winning ports 13 and 14. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the start sensor SE1 or the start sensor SE2 detects a game ball is input. If no game ball has entered any of the start winning openings 13 and 14, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when a game ball enters one of the start winning ports 13 and 14, it is determined whether or not the number of special symbol reservations stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number of four. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process when the number of special symbol holds is not less than the upper limit of 4, that is, when it reaches the upper limit of 4. On the other hand, when the number of special symbol reservations is less than the upper limit of 4, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the number of special symbol reservations and rewrites the number of special symbol reservations.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values, and stores random number information capable of specifying the acquired various random number values in the main control RAM 30c. In this process, the main control CPU 30a obtains the value of the hit random number from the random number generation circuit 30d, and the reach random number value, the special symbol random number value, and the variation pattern distribution random number value from the main control RAM 30c. get. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Further, the main control CPU 30a performs prefetch command generation processing following the special symbol input processing.
In the prefetch command generation processing, the main control CPU 30a specifies whether or not the acquired hit random number value matches the hit determination value. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a specifies whether or not the acquired value of the hit random number matches the common value. If not coincident with the common value, the main control CPU 30a specifies whether or not the acquired reach random number value coincides with the reach determination value. When it does not coincide with the reach determination value, the main control CPU 30a specifies a variation pattern that is associated with the acquired variation pattern distribution random number value, and specifies a failure without a reach effect. On the other hand, when the value of the acquired reach random number matches the reach determination value, the main control CPU 30a specifies the outlier reach and specifies the variation pattern associated with the acquired variation pattern distribution random number value. .

  On the other hand, when it matches the common value, the main control CPU 30a determines that the winning pattern associated with the value of the acquired special symbol random number and the variation pattern associated with the value of the acquired variation pattern distribution random number. Is identified.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a instructs the sub-control CPU 31a with a prefetch command (specific information) for specifying the specified contents. At this time, in addition to the above-described content, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command so that the number of special symbol reservations at the time when the prefetch command generation process is executed can be specified.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the start condition of the special symbol variation game is satisfied. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition is satisfied when the special symbol variation game is not being executed and is not in the winning game, while the special symbol variation game is being executed or in the winning game. If it is, it is determined that the start condition is not satisfied. When the start condition is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the start condition of the special symbol variation game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a reads the special symbol hold number from the main control RAM 30c, and whether the read special symbol hold number is larger than 0 (zero). Judge whether or not. When the number of special symbol reservation is 0, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

On the other hand, when the number of special symbol reservations is larger than 0, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the number of special symbol reservations and rewrites the number of special symbol reservations.
Next, the main control CPU 30a, among the random number information stored in the main control RAM 30c, the random number information stored first (random numbers of hit random numbers, reach random numbers, special symbol random numbers, and variable pattern distribution random numbers) Information). The main control CPU 30a compares the winning random number specified from the acquired random number information with the winning determination value, and performs a winning lottery. In the winning lottery, winning is won when the value of the winning random number matches the winning determination value. Further, the hit determination value to be compared with the value of the hit random number is changed depending on whether or not the probability variation state is given at the time of executing the special symbol start process. Specifically, when the probability variation state is given at the time of executing the special symbol start process, the high probability determination value is compared with the value of the hit random number. On the other hand, when the non-probability change state is given at the time of executing the special symbol start process, the low-accuracy determination value is compared with the value of the hit random number.

  When the winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a performs a winning process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning symbol of the special symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number. There are two types of hit symbols for special symbols: hit symbols for specifying a probable variation and hit symbols for specifying a non-probable variation. Further, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for variation according to the determined type of winning symbol and the value of the variation pattern distribution random number. In this embodiment, when the probability variation is determined, the variation pattern P4 or the variation pattern P5 can be determined. On the other hand, when the uncertain variation is determined, only the variation pattern P4 can be determined.

  On the other hand, when the winning lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol off symbol. Further, the main control CPU 30a compares the reach random number value specified from the acquired random number information with the reach determination value, and performs reach lottery. In the reach lottery, the reach is won when the reach random number value matches the reach determination value. When the reach lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a determines the fluctuation pattern for the deviation fluctuation with the reach effect based on the value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number.

On the other hand, when the reach lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a determines the fluctuation pattern for the deviation fluctuation without the reach effect based on the value of the fluctuation pattern distribution random number.
Then, the main control CPU 30a executes various processes for playing the special symbol variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the sub board 31 (sub control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing.

  More specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and designating the start of symbol variation. Then, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the variation time simultaneously with the output of the variation pattern designation command. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the determined special symbol. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a outputs an all symbol stop command for instructing to stop the variation of the special symbol as the variation time elapses when the variation time set in the variation pattern has elapsed.
Further, the main control CPU 30a starts to change the special symbol by starting the special symbol variation game, and displays the special symbol determined when the variation time determined in the determined variation pattern has elapsed.

Next, control related to the winning game will be described.
When the winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of winning game to be given based on the determined winning type (winning symbol) after the special symbol changing game is ended. Then, the main control CPU 30a starts controlling the specified winning game after the special symbol variation game is ended.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs an opening command instructing execution of an opening effect indicating the start of a winning game. Next, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command instructing the start of the first round game (hereinafter, "~ round" may be referred to as "~ R") after the opening time has elapsed. Then, the first round game is started. The main control CPU 30a ends the first round game when the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command instructing the start of the 2R round game after the elapse of the interval time (the closing time of the special winning opening 16), and starts the 2R round game. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command instructing the start of the next round game every time the end condition of the round game is satisfied. In each round game, the main control CPU 30a controls the actuator AC2 to open and close the grand prize opening door 17 so as to have an opening pattern determined for the winning game. In addition, when a detection signal is input from the count sensor CS in each round game, the main control CPU 30a performs control for paying out a prize ball every time the detection signal is input.

  After finishing the last round game, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command instructing execution of an ending effect indicating the end of the winning game. After the ending time is over, the main control CPU 30a ends the winning game.

Next, the control related to the game state after the winning game ends will be described.
After the winning game is over, the main control CPU 30a performs control related to the probability variation state based on the determined winning type (winning symbol). When the probability variation is determined, the main control CPU 30a gives a probability variation state after the winning game is finished. The main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the probability variation state is imparted to the flag when the probability variation state is imparted. In the present embodiment, this value is reset when the winning lottery is won.

  On the other hand, when the non-probability change is determined, the main control CPU 30a gives a non-probability change state after the end of the hit game (does not give a probability change state). That is, the main control CPU 30a does not set a value indicating that a certain change state is given to the flag.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a value indicating that the entrance rate improvement state is added to the flag when the entrance rate improvement state is applied. In the present embodiment, this value is set to the specified upper limit number of times when the winning lottery is won next time, when the special symbol variation game of the predetermined upper limit number of times is executed after the state of improving the entrance rate is given, or It will be reset when the winning lottery is won before reaching.

Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a of the sub board 31 based on the sub control program will be described.
The sub control CPU 31a performs control according to the information based on the information transmitted from the main board 30. For example, when a variation pattern designation command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the display contents are controlled so that the decorative display variation game is performed on the effect display device 12. Further, the sub control CPU 31a controls the light emission mode of the decoration lamp LA and the sound output mode of the speaker SP so that the light emission effect and the sound effect accompanying the game are performed with the start of the decorative symbol variation game. In addition, when the pre-control command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the sub-control CPU 31a stores in the sub-control RAM 31c information specifying the input pre-read command in association with the number of special symbol holds that can be specified from the pre-read command. Let Further, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub-control RAM 31c stores the state so as to be associated with the special symbol hold number obtained by subtracting 1 from the special symbol hold number associated with the current time. Update the contents (information specifying the prefetch command).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 configured as described above, when the first effect is performed during the winning game, the type of privilege to be granted or the privilege can be given depending on the final result derived from the first effect. It is possible to recognize the level of sex. In the decorative symbol variation game, a second effect having contents related to the first effect is performed.

First, the overall flow from the decorative symbol variation game to the end of the winning game will be described.
During the decorative symbol variation game, the second effect is performed, and when the symbol symbol combination in the variable game is confirmed and stopped and the ornament symbol variation game ends, the winning game is started. During the winning game, the first effect is performed with the content corresponding to the content of the second effect.

Next, the first effect will be described.
The first effect of this embodiment is a battle effect by a teammate character M corresponding to the player and a battle character K that battles the teammate character M. In the battle effect, the winning or losing in the battle effect is derived as a final result, and the final result can recognize the type of privilege to be granted or the possibility of the privilege being given.

  Specifically, as a final result of the first effect, when the teammate character M wins the battle character K, a probable change state is given after the winning game ends. On the other hand, as a final result of the first effect, when the teammate character M is defeated by the battle character K, there are a case where the probability variation state is not imparted after the winning game is finished and a probability variation state is imparted. Hereinafter, as a final result of the first effect, the fact that the teammate character M wins the battle character K may be indicated as “the final result is“ win ””. In addition, as a final result of the first effect, the fact that the teammate character M is defeated by the battle character K may be indicated as “the final result is“ defeat ””. In this embodiment, a plurality of battle characters K are set, and the probability that the teammate character M will win differs depending on the type of the battle character K. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a battle character K1, a battle character K2, a battle character K3, and a battle character K4 are set. In this embodiment, the type of the battle character K that battles in the battle effect corresponds to the effect process of the first effect.

Next, the second effect will be described.
The second effect of this embodiment is performed with contents that inform the effect process of the first effect. Specifically, the type of the battle character K that battles the teammate character M in the first effect is notified by the second effect.

  When the winning lottery is won, the second effect is performed with the content indicating that the battle character K is confirmed. Note that the battle character K has been confirmed, as shown in FIG. 4 (d) and the like, by a confirmed image KG in which the battle character K and a message indicating “competition of the battle character Kn (n = 1 to 4)” are described. It is informed by being displayed. On the other hand, when the winning lottery is not won, it is notified that the battle character K is not fixed. The fact that the battle character K has not been confirmed is notified by the fact that the above-described confirmed image KG is not displayed.

  In this embodiment, various notice effects can be executed. The notice effect of this embodiment includes a silhouette notice and a roulette notice. The notice effect is an effect that can be performed before the second effect in the decorative symbol variation game.

4A to 4J show the content of the silhouette notice and the content of the first effect.
As shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the decorative symbol variation game is started, the teammate character M is displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), an image in which the teammate character M looks around is displayed. Is done. When the silhouette notice is executed, as shown in FIG. 4C, a silhouette image SG that makes it difficult to specify which battle character K is displayed at a specific timing is displayed. When the winning lottery is won, a confirmed image KG is displayed instead of the silhouette image SG as shown in FIG. 4 (d), and then a winning symbol combination as shown in FIG. 4 (e). Is displayed in a fixed stop state, the decorative symbol variation game is finished, and a winning game is started. As shown in FIG. 4F, in the first effect during the winning game, a battle effect in which the battle character K notified in the second performance (the battle character K3 in this example) and the teammate character M battle each other is performed. And as shown in FIG.4 (g), when the image which shows that the ally character M wins the battle | competition character K is displayed as a final result, a probability change state is provided after completion | finish of a hit game. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (h), when an image indicating that the teammate character M has been defeated by the battle character K is displayed as the final result, a probability variation state is given after the winning game is over. There are cases where the probability variation state is not given.

  On the other hand, when the winning lottery is not won, the silhouette image SG is erased as shown in FIG. 4 (i), but the confirmed image KG is not displayed, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4 (j). In addition, the out-of-order symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state.

5A to 5F show the contents of the roulette notice.
When the roulette notice is executed after the performance is executed in the flow as described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B, as shown in FIG. 5A, at a specific timing, A roulette image RG on which the battle characters K1 to K4 are drawn is displayed. When the winning lottery is won, the roulette stops so as to overlap any of the battle characters K as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), a confirmed image KG is displayed instead of the roulette image RG, and then, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), the winning symbol combination is confirmed and stopped and the decorative symbol variation is displayed. The game is over and the hit game is started. Thereafter, in the same manner as the contents shown in FIG. 4F and thereafter, the first effect is performed during the winning game. On the other hand, when the winning lottery is not won, as shown in FIG. 5E, the roulette image RG is not displayed in a rotated state without stopping the roulette so as to overlap any of the battle characters K. After that, as shown in FIG. 5 (f), the out-of-order symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state.

In this embodiment, an effect of confirming the probability change is set. In this embodiment, the button effect is an effect of confirming the probability change.
6A to 6G show the contents of the button effect.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the teammate character M is displayed when the decorative symbol variation game is started. Thereafter, when the specific timing is reached, a button image BG that prompts the operation of the effect button BT is displayed instead of the teammate character M, as shown in FIG. When the winning lottery is won and the probability variation is determined, an image as if the screen has collapsed is displayed as shown in FIG. 6C regardless of whether or not the production button BT is operated. After the display, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the winning symbol combination is confirmed and stopped. Thereafter, the winning game is started, but unlike the first effect, it is not necessary to notify the kind of privilege given by the final result or the possibility of the privilege being given, so FIG. 6 (e) As shown, a round effect (for example, character introduction) different from the first effect is performed.

  On the other hand, when the winning lottery is not won, an image that is cracked on the screen but did not collapse is displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (f) regardless of whether or not the production button BT is operated. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6G, the out-of-order symbol combination is displayed in a fixed stop state.

Hereinafter, the control content for performing a 1st effect and a 2nd effect is demonstrated.
Initially, the control content for performing a 2nd effect is demonstrated.
When the sub control CPU 31a receives a variation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a determines an effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern specified by the command.

  As described above with reference to FIG. 3A, the effect patterns are associated with the variation patterns P1 to P3 and P5 on a one-to-one basis. On the other hand, production patterns E4a to E4d are associated with the variation pattern P4. And in this embodiment, it sets so that any production pattern can be determined among production patterns E4a-E4d for every hit type. In addition, “matching character K1” is shown in the production pattern E4a, “matching character K2” is shown in the production pattern E4b, “matching character K3” is shown in the production pattern E4c, and “matching character K4” is shown in the production pattern E4d. Each is associated.

  As a result, when the variation patterns P1 to P3 and P5 are instructed, the sub control CPU 31a uniquely determines the effect pattern corresponding to the instructed variation pattern. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P4 is instructed, the sub control CPU 31a determines any effect pattern based on the determined winning type.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, in this embodiment, when the probability variation is determined, the determination probability is set to decrease in the order of effect pattern E4a> effect pattern E4b> effect pattern E4c> effect pattern E4d. Yes. Accordingly, the probability that the teammate character M wins in the order of the battle character K1> the battle character K2> the battle character K3> the battle character K4 increases. On the other hand, when the uncertain change is determined, the determination probability is set to increase in the order of effect pattern E4a <effect pattern E4b <effect pattern E4c <effect pattern E4d. Accordingly, the probability that the teammate character M wins in the order of the battle character K1 <the battle character K2 <the battle character K3 <the battle character K4 decreases. As described above, when the teammate character M wins the battle character K, the probability variation state is given, so the probability that the teammate character M wins the battle character K matches the probability that the probability variation state is imparted. In other words, the expectation degree (probability change expectation degree) for the privilege (probability change state) is determined for each production process of the first effect (the battle character K that faces the teammate character M).

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a that has determined the battle character K by determining the effect pattern stores information for specifying the battle character K in the storage area of the sub-control RAM 31c. The value is reset after the winning game ends.

Next, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the notice effect by random number lottery.
When the change pattern P3 or the change pattern P5 is instructed, the sub control CPU 31a does not execute the notice effect in order to preferentially execute the button effect. On the other hand, when any one of the variation patterns P1, P2, and P4 is instructed, the sub-control CPU 31a determines whether or not the notice effect can be executed by random number lottery. (In this example, silhouette notice or roulette notice) is determined by random number drawing.

Further, the sub control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination to be displayed on the effect display device 12 in a definite stop according to the instruction content from the main control CPU 30a.
When the probability variation is instructed and the variation pattern P5 for variation is instructed, the sub-control CPU 31a determines a definite symbol combination for definitely informing that the probability variation state is given after the winning game is finished. To do. In this embodiment, the determined symbol combination is [777]. As described above, the variation pattern P5 is not selected when the uncertain variation hit is determined.

  On the other hand, when the probability variation hit is instructed and the variation pattern P4 for hit variation is instructed, the sub-control CPU 31a non-deterministically informs that the probability variation state is given after the winning game is finished. Determine the symbol combination. In this embodiment, the non-deterministic symbol combinations are [111] to [666]. In addition, when a non-probable variation is instructed and a variation pattern P4 for hit variation is instructed, the sub control CPU 31a determines an undetermined symbol combination.

  Further, when the fluctuation pattern P3 for deviation fluctuation is instructed, the sub control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the deviation reach indicated by [787]. Further, when the fluctuation pattern P2 for deviation fluctuation is instructed, the sub control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination of the deviation reach including [787]. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P1 for deviation variation is instructed, the sub control CPU 31a includes the same decorative design in specific columns (in this example, the left column and the right column) such as [123] and [112]. Determine the missing symbol combination. Then, the sub control CPU 31a executes various effects according to the determined contents. That is, when the execution of the notice effect is determined, the sub control CPU 31a causes the decided notice effect to be executed at a specific timing. When the sub control CPU 31a selects any one of the effect patterns E4a to E4d, the effect pattern is reached at a specific timing (in this example, immediately before the symbol combination is temporarily stopped) through the reach effect. The finalized image KG of the battle character K specified by is displayed.

Next, the control content for performing the first effect will be described.
When the round command instructing the start of a predetermined number of round games (in this example, the first round) is input after the opening time has elapsed, the secondary control CPU 31a reads the value stored in the storage area of the secondary control RAM 31c. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a starts the first effect in which the battle character K and the teammate character M identified by the read value are battled when the 1R round game starts. As a result, there is a relationship between the second effect performed during the symbol variation game and the first effect performed during the winning game.

  The sub control CPU 31a causes the first effect to be executed over a plurality of round games (in this example, the 1st to 15th round games). Then, the final result of the battle effect is displayed at the end of the round game in which the first effect is determined to end (in this example, the 15R round game).

  When the probability variation is determined, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether the final result is “win” or “defeat” by random number lottery. The probability of determining “win” or “defeat” is such that, when the probability variation is determined, the “win” is easier to determine as the “matching character K1” is determined, and the “matching character K4” is determined. The easier it is to determine “defeat”. When “win” is determined, the sub-control CPU 31a displays an image indicating that the teammate character M has won the battle character K (see FIG. 4G). On the other hand, when “defeat” is determined, the sub-control CPU 31a displays an image indicating that the teammate character M has been defeated by the battle character K (see FIG. 4H). In addition, when the uncertain change is determined, the sub-control CPU 31a displays an image indicating that the teammate character M has been defeated by the battle character K (see FIG. 4H). In this embodiment, even if the probability variation is determined, “defeat” may be determined. Therefore, even if the final result is “defeat”, the probability variation state is determined from the type of the battle character K. It is also possible to give expectation to the fact that is given. For example, even if the final result is “defeat”, if it is “competitive character K1”, the probability variation state is given as compared to the case where the other character K2 to K4 is defeated. Expectation can be given to them.

Hereinafter, according to FIG. 4, a series of flow from the decorative symbol variation game to the end of the winning game will be described together with its operation.
As shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the decorative symbol variation game is started, the teammate character M is displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), an image in which the teammate character M looks around is displayed. Is done. When the silhouette notice is executed, the silhouette image SG is displayed as shown in FIG. 4C, and when the winning lottery is won, as shown in FIG. 4D, the silhouette image SG is displayed. Instead, the confirmed image KG is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4E, the non-deterministic symbol combination is confirmed and stopped and the decorative symbol variation game is ended. The player can recognize from the confirmed image KG that the game is a hit. Further, the confirmed image KG allows the player to recognize that he / she will play the battle character K3 in the first effect even before the start of the winning game. And since the certainty expectation degree is defined for each battle character K, the player has a high or low possibility that the teammate character M will win the battle character K from the contents of the second effect (the type of the battle character K). That is, it is possible to recognize to some extent the probability that the probability variation state is given after the winning game is finished before the winning game is started.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (f), in the first effect during the hit game, a battle effect in which the battle character K3 and the teammate character M informed in the second effect face each other is performed. As a result, there is a relation between the second effect performed during the decorative symbol variation game and the first effect performed during the winning game. As shown in FIG. 4G, when an image indicating that the teammate character M has won the battle character K is displayed as a final result, a probability change state is given after the winning game is finished. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (h), when an image indicating that the teammate character M has been defeated by the battle character K is displayed as the final result, a probability variation state is given after the winning game is over. There are cases where the probability variation state is not given.

  That is, when the teammate character M wins the battle character K, it is definitely notified that the certain variation state is given, and thus the privilege given by the final result “win” of the first effect. Will be informed that “is probable”. Incidentally, when the ally character M is defeated by the battle character K, there is a case where the probability variation state is given or not given. Therefore, the possibility of a privilege being given is notified by the final result of the first effect. That is, when the final result is “win”, the expected probability of change is high (100%), and when the final result is “defeat”, the expected probability of change is lower than that of “win”. In this embodiment, the final result “win” enables the player to recognize that the type of privilege to be given is “probability change state”. In addition, if the final result “Victory” is informing that the possibility that the probability variation state is given is 100%, the final result “Defeat” is likely to be given the probability variation state. It is informing that it is lower than “Victory”.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) By causing the second effect to be announced during the symbol variation game during the game, the relevance between the first effect and the second effect is generated. You can entertain both games.

(2) Also, in the symbol variation game, the second effect related to the first effect is performed, so that the symbol variation game is not merely a “form a winning symbol combination”.
(3) The degree of expectation for the privilege (in the embodiment, the probability variation expectation) is determined for each stage of the first stage of production, and the second stage of informing the stage of production of the first stage is performed during the symbol variation game. Therefore, it is possible to give relevance to the first effect and the second effect, and it is also possible to pay attention to what kind of content the second effect is performed.

  (4) By executing the first effect from the initial stage of the hit game (in the embodiment, the 1R round game), the flow of the first effect being performed following the second effect is performed without taking time. It can be executed continuously, and it is easy for the player to recognize the relevance of these effects.

  (5) When the variation pattern P5 is determined, the confirmed symbol combination [777] is confirmed and stopped. Since it is notified that the probability variation state is given by the symbol combination of [777], it is not necessary to notify the privilege given by the final result of the first effect, and accordingly, the second effect is displayed during the symbol variation game. Thus, it is not necessary to notify the production process of the first production (the type of the battle character K to be played). Therefore, when the variation pattern P5 is determined, the symbol variation game is executed with a content (button effect) different from the second effect, and the game effect with a content different from the first effect is executed during the winning game. By doing so, there is no concern about the benefits that will be finally granted.

  (6) By displaying the confirmed image KG of the battle character K that is the same as the battle character K of the first effect, it is possible to grasp in advance the battle character K that will be played during the hit game even before the hit game is started. Can do. And since the expectation degree (in the embodiment, the probability variation expectation degree) for the privilege is determined for each battle character K, the possibility that the ally character M will win the battle character K from the content of the second effect, that is, It is possible to recognize the type of privilege given after the winning game ends or the possibility of being given a privilege before the winning game is started.

  (7) Since “defeat” may be determined even if the probability variation is determined, even if the final result is “defeat”, the probability variation state is given from the type of the battle character K You can have expectations for what is being done.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the gaming machine will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment described below, the same description and the same control content as those of the embodiment already described are omitted or simplified.

  In this embodiment, the effect (2nd effect) which alert | reports the battle character K is performed ranging over the decoration pattern change game of multiple times. The second effect performed over a plurality of decorative symbol variation games is executed from the decorative symbol variation game prior to the decorative symbol variation game, which is an opportunity to decide to execute the effect. Hereinafter, the second effect performed over a plurality of decorative symbol variation games is referred to as “continuous effect”. In this embodiment, the continuous effect corresponds to a second effect performed with a plurality of contents.

  In this embodiment, in the decorative symbol variation game prior to the final round with continuous effects, the silhouette image SG shown in FIG. 4 or the roulette image RG shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, but the confirmed image KG is not displayed, The battle character K is not fixed. On the other hand, in the final decorative symbol variation game with continuous effects, when the game is a win, a confirmed image KG is displayed.

FIGS. 7A to 7C show the contents of the effect when the continuous effect is not performed.
In FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), an effect is executed in the flow described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. Is confirmed and stopped, and the decorative symbol variation game ends.

FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7D to 7H show the contents of effects when a continuous effect is performed.
In the first decorative symbol variation game with a continuous effect, the effect is executed according to the flow shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, and then the silhouette image SG or the roulette image RG is displayed. FIG. 7D shows an example in which a silhouette image SG is displayed. Thereafter, the out-of-order symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, and the first decorative symbol variation game ends (FIG. 7 (e)).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7F, a second decorative symbol variation game with a continuous effect is started. Assuming that the second decorative symbol variation game is the final decorative symbol variation game with continuous effects, as shown in FIG. 7G, a confirmed image KG (in this example, a confirmed image KG of the battle character K3). Is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 7 (h), the non-deterministic symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, the decorative symbol variation game is finished, and the winning game is started. Thereafter, in the same manner as the contents shown in FIG. 4F and thereafter, the first effect is performed during the winning game.

Next, the contents of control for executing a continuous effect will be described.
When a prefetch command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a specifies a variation pattern specified by the command. When any one of the variation patterns P1, P3, and P5 is specified, the sub control CPU 31a does not determine execution of the continuous effect. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern P2 or the fluctuation pattern P4 is specified, the sub-control CPU 31a specifies the fluctuation patterns P2 to P5 before the number of special symbol holds associated with the prefetch command (reach or more). Check whether the prefetch command is associated. When the prefetch command is associated, the sub control CPU 31a does not execute the continuous effect. On the other hand, when the prefetch command is not associated, the sub control CPU 31a determines execution of the continuous effect.

  Next, the sub-control CPU 31a determines, by lottery, which one of the silhouette image SG and the roulette image RG is to be displayed in the decorative symbol variation game before the final round. The sub-control CPU 31a mixes the silhouette image SG and the roulette image RG such that the silhouette image SG is displayed in the first decorative symbol variation game and the roulette image RG is displayed in the second ornament symbol variation game. Do not display them.

  Then, when the sub control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command at the start of each of the decorative symbol variation games before the last round with a continuous effect, the silhouette image SG or the roulette image RG is displayed as a continuous effect in each game. Display. In addition, when the variation pattern designation command is input at the start of the final decorative symbol variation game with continuous effects, the sub control CPU 31a identifies the variation pattern identified by the command. When the variation pattern P2 is specified, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the silhouette image SG or the roulette image RG in the last ornamental symbol variation game in the same manner as the ornamental symbol variation game before the last round. decide. On the other hand, when the variation pattern P4 is specified, the sub-control CPU 31a determines any production pattern according to the type of winning, and decides to display the determined image KG of the battle character K defined in the production pattern. . Then, in the final decorative symbol variation game, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the determined image and ends the decorative symbol variation game. In addition, since the control content for performing a 1st effect in this embodiment is the same as the control content in the above-mentioned embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted.

According to this embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) to (7) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(8) When the second effect is performed with a plurality of contents, the second effect is performed over a plurality of symbol variation games, so that the game can be enjoyed even in a plurality of symbol variation games that are in the process up to winning. be able to.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the gaming machine will be described with reference to the drawings.
In this embodiment, control for specifying the battle character K by the variation pattern is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (a), different battle characters K1 to K4 are associated one-to-one with variation patterns P4 to P7 for hit variation. Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the probability variation is determined, the variation is such that the determination probability decreases in the order of variation pattern P4> variation pattern P5> variation pattern P6> variation pattern P7. Possible values of pattern distribution random numbers are distributed. On the other hand, when the non-probable variation is determined, the possible values of the variation pattern distribution random numbers are distributed so that the determination probability increases in the order of variation pattern P4 <variation pattern P5 <variation pattern P6 <variation pattern P7.

  When the technique of the first embodiment is replaced with the technique of the third embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a identifies the battle character K from the fluctuation pattern when any of the fluctuation patterns P4 to P7 is instructed. can do. Thereafter, the control for determining the notice effect, the control for determining the symbol combination, and the control for executing the first effect are the same as the various controls in the first embodiment.

  When the technique of the second embodiment is replaced with the technique of the third embodiment, when a prefetch command specifying any one of the variation patterns P2, P4 to P7 is input, the prefetch command is associated. If the pre-read command that specifies the variation patterns P2 to P8 (reach or higher) is not associated before the number of special symbol reservations, a continuous effect can be executed. In this embodiment, since the battle character K is associated with the variation pattern, it is not necessary to select an effect pattern.

According to this embodiment, the same effects as the effects (1) to (7) of the first embodiment and the effect (8) of the second embodiment can be obtained.
(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the gaming machine will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine that gives a probability variation state after the winning game is finished by causing a game ball to enter the special winning opening during the winning game (so-called V probability changing machine).

  As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine 10, the special winning opening 16 communicates with a discharge passage 22 that communicates with the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 10. The discharge passage 22 is bifurcated, and a special winning opening 23 is provided in one branch passage 22a, and a normal winning opening 24 is provided in the other branch passage 22b. Further, at the branch point of the discharge passage 22, a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 16 can be entered into the special winning opening 23 or the normal winning opening 24 by operating an actuator such as a solenoid or a motor. A shutter 25 that operates in such a manner is provided. The shutter 25 is always in a position for closing the special winning opening 23 (indicated by a solid line in the figure). In this state, the game ball cannot enter the special winning opening 23 and is guided to the normal winning opening 24.

  Note that the shutter 25 operates to a position where the special winning opening 23 is opened at a predetermined timing according to the type of winning game (indicated by a broken line in the figure). In this state, the game ball can enter the special winning opening 23.

  Further, a special sensor SE3 for detecting a game ball that has entered is provided in the back of the special winning opening 23. When the game ball that has entered the special winning opening 23 is detected by the special sensor SE3, a probability change state is given after the winning game is finished. On the other hand, the special sensor SE3 is not provided in the back of the normal winning opening 24, and even if a game ball enters the normal winning opening 24, the probability variation state is not given.

Next, the winning type will be described with reference to FIG.
In this embodiment, a plurality of hits are set. As an example, per long opening and per short opening are set.

  For each long release, the specified number of rounds is set to “15”. For each long game, the round game time of all round games is set to a maximum of “25 seconds”. Further, in the case of a long opening, in a specific round game (the 7R round game in this example), the shutter 25 operates to a position where the special winning opening 23 is opened, and the special winning opening 23 is opened. . In other round games excluding a specific round game, the shutter 25 is in a position where the special winning opening 23 is closed.

  For a short opening, the specified number of rounds is set to “15”. In the short opening, the round game time of the 1st to 6th round games and the 8th to 15th round games is set to a maximum of “25 seconds”. On the other hand, the round game time of the seventh round game is set to a maximum of “0.004 seconds”. Further, per short opening, as in the case of long opening, in a specific round game (the seventh round game in this example), the shutter 25 operates to a position where the special winning opening 23 is opened, and the special winning opening 23 Is opened.

  Hereinafter, according to FIG. 11, the control content executed by the sub control CPU 31a to execute the first effect and the second effect will be described together with a series of flow from the decorative symbol variation game to the end of the winning game.

First, according to FIG. 11 (a), the control contents when the long release per is determined will be described.
When “per long release” is instructed from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a determines a non-deterministic symbol combination or a definite symbol combination. When the confirmed symbol combination is determined, the sub control CPU 31a executes a round effect (for example, a character introduction effect) different from the first effect during the winning game. The “determined symbol combination” in this embodiment is a symbol combination for definite notification that the type of hit given is “per long opening”. On the other hand, the “non-deterministic symbol combination” in this embodiment is a symbol combination for notifying that the type of hit given is “per long opening” or “per short opening”.

  On the other hand, when the non-deterministic symbol combination is determined, the sub control CPU 31a determines the content of the second effect to be executed during the decorative symbol variation game. When a plurality of effect patterns are associated with one variation pattern as in the first embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a determines the effect pattern of the second effect by determining one of the effect patterns. To decide. Also in this embodiment, in the same manner as the distribution shown in FIG. 3B, when the long opening is determined, the determination probability is in the order of the production pattern E4a> the production pattern E4b> the production pattern E4c> the production pattern E4d. It is high (not shown). Accordingly, the probability that the teammate character M wins in the order of the battle character K1> the battle character K2> the battle character K3> the battle character K4 increases. In this embodiment, when the teammate character M wins the battle character K, “per long release” is awarded. Therefore, the probability that the teammate character M wins the battle character K is the probability that “per long release” is given. Match. In other words, the expectation degree for the privilege (expectation degree to which “per long opening” is given in this embodiment) is defined for each stage of the first effect (the battle character K that battles the teammate character M). become.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a executes the decorative symbol variation game with the contents determined in the determined effect pattern, and confirms the battle character K associated with the effect pattern immediately before the symbol combination is temporarily displayed. The image KG is displayed. At this time, if the confirmed image KG of the battle character K1 is displayed, the player can recognize that the battle character K1 is played in the first effect even before the start of the winning game. In addition, even before the start of the hit game, it can be recognized that the teammate character M has a high probability of winning the battle character K1.

  The player can recognize from the confirmed image KG of the battle character K1 that there is a high possibility that the determined hit type is “per long release”. Further, the player can recognize that there is a high possibility that the grand prize winning door 17 will be opened for a long time in the specific round game. In addition, the player can recognize that it is easy for a game ball to enter the special winning opening 23 in a specific round game, and a probability change state is likely to be given after the winning game ends.

  Then, the sub control CPU 31a starts a winning game after the ornamental symbol variation game is over. The sub-control CPU 31a starts the first effect in which the “matching character K1” notified by the second effect and the teammate character M battle each other at a predetermined timing (in this example, the 1R round game). Then, the sub control CPU 31a displays the final result of the first effect until the game ball enters the special winning opening 23, more specifically, until the game ball is detected by the special sensor SE3. Display. In this example, the sub control CPU 31a displays the final result of the first effect during the 6R round game.

  Note that, when the long release per is determined, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether the final result is “win” or “defeat”. When the final result is “win”, the player can recognize that the determined hit type is “per long open”. Further, the player can recognize that the special prize opening door 17 is opened for a long time in the specific round game after the final result is derived. In addition, the player can recognize that it is easy for a game ball to enter the special winning opening 23 in a specific round game, and a probability change state is likely to be given after the winning game ends.

  Then, when a game ball enters the special winning opening 23 in a specific round game (in this example, the 7R round game), a probability change state is given after the winning game is completed. In this embodiment, the final result of the first effect notifies the user that “the hit type“ per long open ”is given” as a hit type. In other words, giving a long per-release is equivalent to “privilege”.

Next, according to FIG. 11B, the contents of control when the short opening per hit is determined will be described.
In the case where “per short release” is instructed from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a determines a non-deterministic symbol combination. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a determines any one of the effect patterns, and causes the decorative symbol variation game to be executed with the content determined in the determined effect pattern. Further, when short opening per is determined, the determination probability is higher in the order of effect pattern E4a <effect pattern E4b <effect pattern E4c <effect pattern E4d (not shown). Accordingly, the probability that the teammate character M wins in the order of the battle character K1 <the battle character K2 <the battle character K3 <the battle character K4 decreases.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the determined image KG of the battle character K associated with the effect pattern immediately before the symbol combination is temporarily displayed. At this time, if the confirmed image KG of the battle character K4 is displayed, the player can recognize that the battle character K4 is played in the first effect even before the start of the winning game.

  Then, the sub control CPU 31a starts a winning game after the ornamental symbol variation game is over. The sub-control CPU 31a starts the first effect in which the “matching character K4” notified by the second effect and the teammate character M battle each other at a predetermined timing. When the short opening per is determined, the sub control CPU 31a determines that the final result is “defeat”. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the final result of the first effect (in this example, “defeat”) during the 6R round game.

According to this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as (1) to (5) described in the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(9) By displaying the confirmed image KG of the battle character K that is the same as the battle character K of the first effect, it is possible to grasp in advance the battle character K that will be played during the hit game, even before the hit game is started. Can do. And since the expectation that the type of hit given to each battle character K is “per long open” is determined, it is possible that the teammate character M wins the battle character K from the content of the second effect. It is possible to recognize the level of possibility, that is, the level of possibility that the type of hit given will be “per long opening” before the hit game is started.

  (10) Since “defeat” may be determined even when long open per is determined, even if the final result is “defeat”, it is given from the type of the battle character K Expectation can be given that the hit type is "per long opening".

  (11) By displaying the final result of the first production until the game ball enters the specific winning opening 23, it is possible to make the player actively aim at the specific winning opening 23. is there. If the final result is “Victory”, it is also informed that it is easy to enter the game ball into the special winning opening 23, so that it is also easy to acquire the probability variation state. .

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
As an example of changing the roulette notice, a roulette image RG describing options other than the battle character K may be set. For example, an option that is unlikely to have an expectation may be set such as “out of place” or “sorry”. When the winning lottery is not won, in the embodiment, the roulette image RG is not displayed in the rotated state, but the roulette may be stopped so as to overlap with “out of” or “sorry”.

  The series of effects in which the first effect is performed after the second effect may be effects performed during a period in which the entrance rate improvement state is given. In this case, in a decorative symbol variation game that is not “winning” (more specifically, a decorative symbol variation game that is “out of reach”), this series of effects may not be executed. In order to do this, the winning probability of the reach lottery in the improved entrance rate state may be set to be lower than the winning probability of the reach lottery in the improved non-entry rate state. Further, during the entering rate improvement state, it is not necessary to execute the reach effect in the decorative symbol variation game that is out of place. By doing so, it is possible to improve the digestion efficiency of the special symbol variation game during the improved entrance rate. In addition, the second effect can be positioned as a winning effect.

  -In 2nd Embodiment, the game which displays the silhouette image SG and the game which displays the roulette image RG may be mixed in the continuous production which uses several decoration design change games as 1 unit.

  In the second embodiment, the main control CPU 30a specifies whether or not the acquired value of the hit random number matches the common value, and if not, whether or not it matches the non-common value. May be specified. Further, the main control CPU 30a confirms the lottery probability at the time of executing the prefetch command generation process, and appropriately changes the hit determination value to be compared depending on whether the lottery probability is a high probability state or a low probability state. May be.

  -In 4th Embodiment, the round game in which the special prize opening 23 will be in an open state is not restricted to the example of embodiment. Further, there may be a plurality of round games in which the special winning opening 23 is opened.

  In the fourth embodiment, the first attacker provided with the special prize opening 23 and the second attacker provided with the normal prize opening 24 may be provided independently. “Independently providing” means, for example, providing a different large winning opening door 17 for each of the winning openings 23 and 24. In the round game in which the special winning opening 23 is opened, the first attacker may be released, while in the other round games, the second attacker may be opened. Further, when the first attacker and the second attacker are provided independently, more specifically, until the game ball is detected by the special sensor SE3 until the game ball enters the special winning opening 23. In the meantime, the final result of the first effect may be displayed.

  -In 4th Embodiment, the entrance rate improvement state may be provided with the probability variation state. Further, the specified upper limit number of times of special symbol variation games to which the improved entrance rate is given may be different for each long opening and each short opening. For example, the specified upper limit number may be set to be greater per long opening than per short opening. In this case, it is equivalent to “privilege” that the prescribed upper limit number of times that the entrance rate improvement state is given is large. In addition, the level of possibility that the entrance rate improvement state with a large number of prescribed upper limits is given corresponds to “the level of possibility that a privilege is given”. In addition, if a game ball does not enter the special winning opening 23 even though the long opening per game is determined, the number of times that should have been given when the special winning opening 23 was entered. You may make it provide a ball-entry rate improvement state fewer times. The number of times may be the same number of times as the prescribed upper limit number of the entrance rate improvement states given when the short opening per is determined.

  -In 4th Embodiment, a round effect may be performed in any period among the periods when a 1st effect is not performed. For example, a round effect may be performed in a round game after the round game opened by the special winning opening 23. For example, a round effect (such as a character introduction effect) different from the first effect may be performed, or the first effect may be performed. In the first effect after the round game opened by the special winning opening 23, it is preferable to notify a privilege different from the first effect before the round game opened by the special winning port 23. For example, when the final result is “win”, it may be notified that there is a start hold that becomes “win” in the start hold that is held during the hit game. In this case, the sub control CPU 31a confirms whether or not a pre-read command for specifying the hit is stored in the storage area of the sub control RAM 31c at a predetermined timing during the hit game. When the pre-read command for specifying the hit is stored, the sub-control CPU 31a recognizes that the start hold that is “win” is included in the start hold held during the hit game.

  -In 4th Embodiment, you may set so that the total opening time of the big prize opening door 17 may become the same per long opening per short opening. For example, per long opening, the round game time of the 1st to 7th, 9th to 15th round games is set to “25 seconds”, but the round game time of the 8th round game is set to the big prize opening door per short opening. In order to make the total opening time equal to 17, it may be “0.004 seconds”. By doing so, the opening time of the special winning opening 16 is the same regardless of the type of winning, and therefore no difference occurs in terms of the number of winning balls obtained.

  -The determination probability of the battle character K is not limited to the example of the embodiment as long as the determination probability of the battle character K to be battled in the first effect can be made different for each hit type. For example, in the probability variation, the battle character K1 is most easily determined, but the determination probabilities of the other battle characters K2 to K4 may be substantially the same. Further, the weakest battle character K that the teammate character M always wins may be set as the battle character K.

  -The second effect may be performed in any manner. For example, during the decorative symbol variation game, the reach effect is performed with the content that the teammate character M and any of the battle characters K battle each other. When the winning lottery is won, the teammate character M wins, but when the winning lottery is not won, the teammate character M may not win (for example, the teammate character M loses or battles). Character K escapes). When performing the reach effect with such contents, even if the final image KG is not displayed as in the embodiment, the player can win the winning lottery only by looking at the battle character K that appeared in the reach effect. Can recognize that there is a possibility that a battle effect may be performed with the battle character K even during a hit game. Then, in the first effect during the hit game, a battle effect with the battle character K that appeared in the reach effect may be performed during the decorative symbol variation game, or a battle character that is different from the battle character K that appeared in the reach effect. Directing with K may be performed. In this case, in order to maintain the relevance between the second effect during the decorative symbol variation game and the first effect during the winning game, the second effect is less than or equal to the expected level set for the battle character K of the first effect. It is preferable that the battle character K is displayed. This is because the player is less likely to have an unfavorable impression if the opponent character K in the hit game has a higher expectation than the opponent character K displayed during the symbol variation game.

  The main control CPU 30a outputs random number information indicating various random number values acquired when the game balls enter the start winning openings 13, 14 to the sub control CPU 31a, and the sub control CPU 31a instructs It may be determined whether the hit random number value matches the hit determination value. In this case, the sub control CPU 31a uses the same determination information as the hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b to determine whether or not the hit random number value matches the same determination information as the hit determination value. judge.

  -In a continuous effect, the image of the battle character K may be displayed from the decorative symbol variation game before the last round. However, it is desirable that the image displayed in the decorative symbol variation game before the last round is different from the finalized image KG displayed in the final ornament symbol variation game. For example, in the decorative symbol variation game before the last round, an image may not be displayed in which a message indicating “competitive character Kn (n = 1 to 4) confirmed” which is a component of the confirmed image KG is not displayed. Good. Then, in the decorative symbol variation game before the last round, an image of the battle character K that is the same as the confirmed image KG may be displayed. Also, in the decorative symbol variation game before the final round, an image of the battle character K having a lower probability of expected change than the battle character K of the final image KG is displayed, and the battle with a higher probability of expected change as the continuous production continues. The image of the character K may be easily displayed. Further, in the final decorative symbol variation game, a confirmed image KG of the battle character K that is different from the battle character K that battles in the first effect may be displayed. In such a case, in the first effect, the battle character K is different from the battle character K displayed in the second effect, and the content of the second effect does not match the content of the first effect. The production process of the first production is suggested by the two productions.

  -The order of determination of the battle character K of the 2nd effect and the battle character K of the 1st effect is not restricted to the example of an embodiment. That is, after determining the battle character K of the first effect, the battle character K of the second effect is determined by determining an effect pattern (or variation pattern) associated with the same battle character K as the battle character K. It may be determined.

-The 2nd production may be a reach production, and the battle character K which fights by the 1st production may be notified by the kind of the reach production.
-The 2nd production may be performed at any timing as long as it is before the time when the hit can be recognized. For example, it may be performed immediately after reach formation.

  The second effect may be applied to a pseudo continuous effect (so-called pseudo ream). The quasi-continuous effect is an effect that involves a plurality of variations in one decorative symbol variation game. In this case, the silhouette image SG or the roulette image RG is displayed each time one variation cycle is executed, which is one from the start of symbol variation to the temporary stop display of symbols.

-The 1st production is not restricted to a battle production. That is, if the first effect and the second effect are effects that are performed with relevance, the contents of the effects are not limited to the battle effects.
-If the 1st production is performed during a hit game, the execution time is not restricted to the example of an embodiment. For example, the first effect may be executed from the start of the opening effect. In addition, in order to execute the first effect at an early stage after the winning game is started, the first effect is executed in response to the input of the control command first output after the control related to the winning game is started. May be. In addition, after the second effect is executed in the decorative symbol variation game, the first effect may be executed at an early stage after the second effect is executed so as not to interpose another effect as much as possible. Good. In other words, the first effect may be executed at any timing during the winning game as long as the type of privilege to be granted cannot be recognized. However, since the first effect may not be performed for a sufficient time when the first effect is performed at the end of the winning game, it is preferable to execute the first effect at an early stage of the winning game.

  -In the first effect, even if the same battle character K is displayed depending on the battle place, the clothes of the teammate character M or the battle character K, the difference in weapons used, etc., The possibility that the privilege is given may be varied. At this time, in the second effect, only the determined battle character K may be notified without notifying the battle place or clothes. In this case, in the second effect, a part of the effect process of the first effect is notified. In the second effect, in addition to the confirmed battle character K, clothes, weapons, and the like may be notified. In this case, in the second effect, the entire effect process of the first effect is notified. In addition, the first effect and the second effect have a one-to-one relationship.

  -In the 1st production, what is necessary is just to be able to recognize the level of the kind of privilege given, or the possibility that a privilege will be given at least from the final result. For example, if the teammate character M has made a special move before the final result is derived, or if a helper character appears, it is definitely notified that the probability change state will be given at that time. Also good.

  In the first performance of the embodiment, the type of privilege to be granted and the level of possibility of granting the privilege are reported depending on whether the final result is “win” or “defeat”. Alternatively, or in addition, if the final result is “Victory”, the type of privilege to be granted and the level of possibility that the privilege will be granted may also be notified by “the process leading to the victory” Good. For example, as a process up to “winning”, when the teammate character M wins the battle character K overwhelmingly, the possibility that a more advantageous privilege or an advantageous privilege may be given may be increased. Specifically, when the teammate character M wins the battle character K, a winning game with a large number of rounds constituting the winning game may be awarded. Similarly, when the final result is “defeat”, the type of privilege to be granted and the level of possibility of granting the privilege may also be notified by “the process until defeat”. For example, as a process leading to “defeat”, if the teammate character M and the battle character K are defeated as a result of a close battle, there is an advantageous benefit compared to the case where the battle character K is defeated by a large difference. The possibility of being granted may be increased. Specifically, if the opponent character K is defeated by a large difference, the probability change state is not given, but if the defeat is a narrow difference, there is a possibility that a probability change state is given compared to the case of defeating by a large difference. May be raised.

  -In a 1st effect, the kind of privilege provided may be alert | reported definitely by a final result. For example, when the probability change state is given, the final result may be “win”, while when the non-probability change state is given, the final result may be “defeat”.

  -Depending on the final result of the first effect, the level of possibility that a privilege may be granted may be notified. For example, even if the final result is “win”, the probability variation state may not be provided, but the probability that the probability variation state is not imparted may be lower than when the final result is “defeat”. In this case, when the final result is “win”, the probability variation state is more likely to be given than when the final result is “defeat”.

  In the first effect, “win”, “defeat”, “draw”, and “escape” may be set as the final result of the first effect. “Escape” means that the battle character K stops the battle and runs away. When the final result is “win” or “runaway”, the probability variation state is always given, whereas when the final result is “defeat”, the non-probability variation state may be always given. Further, when the final result is “draw”, there may be a case where a probability variation state is imparted and a case where a non-probability variation state is imparted.

-The privilege recognizable by the final result derived | led-out by the 1st effect may be either one of the kind of privilege provided and the high / low possibility of a privilege being provided.
The case where the production process of the first production is “suggested” and the case where it is “notified” by the second production may be mixed.

  -The privilege may be a difference in the number of rounds constituting the winning game. For example, a game per 15R with a round number “15” and a game per 7R with a round number “7” are set. When 15R is determined, the final result “win” may be displayed in the 7R round game, and the 8R and subsequent round games may be continued. On the other hand, when 7R per is determined, the final result “defeat” may be displayed in the 7R round game, and the win game may be terminated.

  -The privilege may be a difference in the number of times of granting the entry rate improvement state given after the end of the winning game. Further, the benefit may be a difference between whether or not the entrance rate improvement state is given after the winning game ends.

  -Even if it is a case where a definite symbol combination is determined, the 2nd production may be performed during a decoration symbol change game. Further, regardless of whether or not the second effect was performed during the decorative symbol variation game, the first effect is executed, and the type of privilege to be granted or the privilege may be given depending on the final result of the first effect. You may make it recognize the height of.

  The first effect may be performed at any timing as long as it is after the time when the winning can be recognized. For example, you may make it perform a 1st effect after the symbol combination of a decoration symbol is once stopped and displayed until it displays a fixed stop. However, it is preferable not to execute the first notification effect while the so-called re-lottery is performed, in which the winning symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed, and whether or not the winning combination is informed. Further, the first effect may be executed during the interval period set between the end of the decorative symbol variation game and the start of the winning game. Moreover, although the interval time is determined in advance, when the first effect does not fit within the interval time, the first effect may be executed by extending the interval time.

-The 2nd production may be performed at any timing as long as it is before the time when the hit can be recognized. For example, it may be performed immediately after reach formation.
-When the hit game time is shorter than the first effect time, the first effect cannot be executed during the hit game. Therefore, it is not necessary to execute the first effect in every winning game, and the first effect may be executed in a part of winning games that can execute the first effect.

  In the above embodiment, the winning type is specified by a special symbol specifying command, but the winning type may be specified by a variation pattern specifying command or other dedicated control command.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
