In the wake of the winning on the mouth 31, the decoration of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c is started to change. In the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment, a plurality of effective stop positions 27 capable of stopping and displaying one decoration as a result of symbol variation effects are respectively set, and each symbol row 26a, 26b,. The symbol combination of the decoration displayed on the stop symbol effective line 28 combined with the effective stop position 27 of 26c is decided to be derived. In the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment, three symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c are set horizontally and horizontally, and the effective stop position 27 of the decoration figure is displayed for each symbol row 26a, 26b and 26c. One place at a time is defined, and a symbol variation effect consisting of three rows of decoration figures is to be performed. That is, one stop symbol effective line 28 is set in the symbol display device 17 of the embodiment. In the following description, the left symbol row 26a, the middle symbol row 26b, and the right symbol row 26c may be referred to sequentially from the left side.

  Moreover, the display area of the decoration figure in each symbol column 26a, 26b, 26c of the said symbol display apparatus 17 is comprised by a big area | region compared with the 1st special figure display part 50A and the 2nd special figure display part 50B The decorative drawing is displayed much larger than the special drawing. Therefore, the player can recognize a big hit or a break from the symbol combination stop-displayed on the stop symbol effective line 28 of the symbol display device 17.

  The symbol display device 17 is variably displayed so that the decoration drawing moves along a predetermined fluctuation direction (vertical direction from the top to the bottom in the embodiment) along with the start of the symbol fluctuation production. The decoration that is variably displayed in the predetermined stop order is stopped and displayed at the effective stop position 27 of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c. In the embodiment, at the start of the symbol variation effect, the decoration figures start to fluctuate in the order of the left symbol row 26a, the middle symbol row 26b, and the right symbol row 26c, and the left symbol row 26a, the right symbol row 26c, and the middle symbol row 26b, based on the timing of fluctuation of the decoration to be stopped and displayed in the order of 26b, the fluctuation of the decoration depending on the contents of the effect of the symbol fluctuation effect executed by the symbol display device 17 and the number of stored special drawing start and hold information (described later) The timing is configured to be changed appropriately.

  Further, in the symbol display device 17, the decoration drawing is temporarily displayed temporarily at the effective stop position 27 of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c before the symbol variation effect is finished, and each symbol row 26a, 26b, When the decoration figure of 26c is decided and stopped and displayed, one time of symbol fluctuation production ends. That is, the symbol fluctuation effect (the first special figure fluctuation display and the second special figure fluctuation display) is decided from the start of the fluctuation of the decoration figure (special figure 1 and special figure 2) to be performed based on one special drawing start reservation information. It is designed to be executed once before stopping. The "variation display" is a state in which the decorative drawings displayed at the effective stop position 27 change in a predetermined order in the respective symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c. And "decision stop" of the decoration figure is a state where the decoration figure is continuously stopped and displayed for a predetermined special figure fluctuation interval time at the effective stop position 27 in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c. . In the embodiment, 500 ms (milliseconds) is set as the special figure fluctuation interval time of the symbol fluctuation effect (the first special figure fluctuation display) based on the detection of the first start winning detection sensor 34, and the second start winning detection sensor As special figure fluctuation interval time of the design fluctuation production (the 2nd special figure fluctuation indication) based on detection of 35, 500ms is set. In addition, with the “temporary stop” of the decoration drawing, the decoration drawing displayed so as to remain at the effective stop position 27 in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c does not stop continuously for the special drawing fluctuation interval time. is there. That is, the temporary stop of the decoration drawing includes the state in which the decoration drawing is displayed in the fluctuation state at the effective stop position 27 and the state in which the display is stopped and displayed in a shorter time than the special drawing fluctuation interval time.

  Here, in the first special view display unit 50A and the symbol display device 17, the first special view change display and the symbol change presentation relating to the first special view change display are started, and the special view 1 and the decoration view are stop display Be done. Similarly, in the second special view display unit 50B and the symbol display device 17, the second special view change display and the symbol change presentation relating to the second special view change display are started, and the special view 2 and the decoration view are confirmed stop display Be done. In the case where the special view variation display is not simultaneously performed in the first and second special view display units 50A and 50B, and the special view variation display is performed in one of the special view display units 50A and 50B, It is reserved and stored as first or second special drawing start reservation information corresponding to the main control RAM 60c.

  Here, in the symbol display device 17 according to the embodiment, ten kinds of numerals of “0” to “9” are set as basic decoration drawings in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c. The figures are displayed so as to be changed and displayed in order in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c. In addition, as a decoration figure, it is not restricted to this, and it is set as the form which a player can distinguish and distinguish each decoration figure like arbitrary numbers, characters, patterns, etc. In the decoration of the embodiment, a probability change state can be awarded after the end of the big hit game, and a first identification symbol that the player can definitely recognize that the probability change state (described later) is given after the end of the big hit game It is classified into the second identification symbol that can nondeterminately recognize that there is a sex. In the present embodiment, the probability change state that can be provided after the end of the big hit game will be described in detail later. Here, as the first identification symbol, even if appropriately set from among the basic decoration drawings, special decoration drawings defined in addition to the basic decoration drawings can be used. In the embodiment, the odd symbols of "1", "3", "5", "7" and "9" are used as the first identification symbols, and "0", "2", "4", "" An example in which the even symbols of 6 "and" 8 "are the second identification symbols will be described.

  Then, the symbol combination of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c displayed on the effective stop position 27 (stop symbol effective line 28) of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c in the symbol display device 17 is a big hit symbol combination If so, it is possible to grasp that the big hit game is given. Here, in the embodiment, a symbol combination (for example, "222", "777", etc.) in which the same decoration figure is fixedly displayed at the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row is set as a symbol combination of big hit . The symbol combination of the decoration that can recognize the big hit becomes the big hit display displayed on the symbol display device 17, and a big hit game advantageous to the player is given after the end of the symbol variation effect. In the embodiment, the special decoration figure (special symbol) can be displayed separately from the above-mentioned basic decoration figure that is variably displayed by the symbol display device 17, and the effective stop position 27 of each pattern row is set. The special decoration drawing is displayed in a fixed stop state in any of (for example, the effective stop position of the middle symbol row), so that it can be recognized that a predetermined big hit game is given. The symbol combination of the decoration which can recognize the possibility that this big hit game occurs is a hit indication displayed on the symbol display device 17. On the other hand, in the case where the symbols in all the rows displayed in the fixed stop position 27 of the symbol display device 17 are different from one another even if they are displayed in different types, the symbol combination (for example, "123", "734", "171", etc.) From the above, it can be recognized that, in principle, a jackpot game is not awarded. The symbol combination of the decoration which can recognize this detachment is the display of the symbol display device 17 being detached. However, it is also possible to use a specific symbol combination as an opportunity for a predetermined effect (for example, a predetermined big hit game) to be executed among symbol combinations in which all of the three rows of decoration drawings are not identical. The specific symbol combination is one in which the player can recognize or associate some rules or meanings from the symbol combination. As a specific example of a specific symbol combination, a symbol combination (for example, "123", "321") in which three decorative drawings are arranged in a continuous ascending or descending order, or a decorative drawing of the left symbol column 26a and the middle symbol column 26b Are the same, and the symbol combination (for example, "778") in which the value of the decoration of the right symbol column 26c is shifted by one (for example, "758" (Nagoya) Etc.). In this way, the specific symbol combination is a symbol combination of a decoration that can be selected not only as a result of off display but also as a result of big hit display.

  Moreover, in the symbol variation effect, among the plurality of symbol rows, the same decoration drawing is stopped and displayed on a specific symbol row (in the embodiment, the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c in the embodiment), and the remaining symbol rows (implementation In the example, the player can recognize that the reach has been generated by the display (reach display) in which the middle symbol row 26 b is variably displayed. As an example of a specific reach display, it becomes a symbol combination ("1 1 1", "4 4 4", etc.) in which the same decoration figure is stopped and displayed on the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c. Note that “「 ”indicates that it is in motion. In addition, the decoration figure of the particular design line (the left design line 26a and the right design line 26c) which forms reach indication is made the state of temporary stop indication, the decoration figure stops in the remaining design line (the middle design line 26b) After being displayed (provisional stop display), the decoration figures of all the symbol rows are to be displayed as a fixed stop.

  Further, as a result of the special view variation display performed by the first special view display unit 50A and the second special view display unit 50B, the symbol display device 17 displays the symbol combination of the decoration according to the special view to be displayed. Be done. That is, the special views displayed on the first special view display unit 50A and the second special view display unit 50B correspond to the symbol combinations of the decoration displayed on the symbol display device 17, respectively, and the symbol variation effect is When it is finished, the special figure is decided and stopped on the first special figure display unit 50A and the second special figure display unit 50B, and the decoration figure is decided and displayed on each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c of the symbol display device 17. It is supposed to be. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration figure for the special symbol is not limited to one to one, and the symbol combination with one decoration figure is to be selected from the symbol combinations with a plurality of decoration figures for one special symbol There is.

(About a definite change state)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of providing a first bonus game state as a game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game. In the first bonus game state, it is possible to increase the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the special winning opening 41 by changing the probability per special drawing from the low probability to the high probability. In the following description, the first bonus game state is referred to as a "probable change state" for the sake of convenience.

  The probability change function is a jackpot probability (big hit) after the end of the big hit game, provided that the type of the big hit symbol (special figure 1 or special figure 2) displayed as the fixed stop is a predetermined probability change symbol (specific symbol) The probability is a function of giving a probability change state in which the probability changes from low probability (168/65536 in the embodiment) to high probability (1516/65536 in the embodiment). Note that a state in which a definite change state is not given is referred to as a non-positive change state. In the embodiment, the big hit to which the positive change state is given after the big hit game is the positive change big hit, and the big hit to which the positive change state is not given is the non positive change big hit. As described above, when the probability change state is given, the probability of winning the big hit fluctuates to a high probability and the hit is likely to occur, so the probability change state is advantageous for the player, and the player becomes the probability change big hit Playing games while expecting Further, in the embodiment, in the case of a jackpot to which a probability change state is given, it is set such that the probability change state is continuously given until the next jackpot is generated after the end of the jackpot game. In addition, as a period when a definite change state is provided, it is not restricted to said thing. For example, the definite change state may be continuously applied while the definite change state is applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the transition to the non-positive change state may be performed on the condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Here, as the predetermined condition, it is possible to set the number of symbol variation effects (special figure variation display) to be executed after the probability variation state is given. In addition, it is determined based on the random number acquired on the occasion of the pachinko ball's winning to the start winning means (falling lottery) to determine whether to shift to the non-probability state for each symbol fluctuation effect (special figure fluctuation display) It is also possible to shift to the non-deterministic state on condition of winning.

(About the change state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of providing a second bonus game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. Here, as the second bonus game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31 is increased compared to the state (first game state) in which the second bonus game state is not provided. It is an improvement state of the prize rate. Specifically, in the second bonus game state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the spread map fluctuation display, (2) changing the probability per spread map from low to high probability, (3) once per spread map By increasing the opening time of the start-up opening / closing member 33 for opening the second start winning opening 31, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31 can be increased. In the second bonus game state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In addition, when increasing the opening time of the opening / closing member 33 for start which opens the second start winning opening 31 per one common drawing, the opening time of the opening / closing member 33 is simply extended. Alternatively, it can be realized by increasing the number of times of opening / closing member 33 for start, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the second bonus game state is referred to as a variable state, and the variable state of the embodiment is set by combining the above (1) to (3). Further, a state in which no variable state is given is referred to as a non-variable state. That is, the variable state is a winning rate improvement state in which the winning percentage of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 31 is improved.

  In the embodiment, the generalization display unit 55 performs the generalization display unit 55 in the shorting state rather than the fluctuation time of the generalization drawing display performed in the generalization display unit 55 in the non-shortening state. The fluctuation time of the figure fluctuation display (variation time common drawing fluctuation time) is set to a shorter time, and the fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation display performed by the common drawing display unit 55 is shortened with the addition of the fluctuation state. It is supposed to be Specifically, in the embodiment, the non-shortening variation drawing time is set to 2000 ms, and the variation shortening drawing variation time is set to 820 ms. In addition, the probability per common figure in the non-variable state is set to a low probability (1/65536 in the example), and the probability per common figure in the variable state is high (6535/65536 in the example) It is set, and the probability per common figure changes from low probability to high probability with the addition of the variation state. In the embodiment, a period (common drawing fluctuation interval) from when the common drawing is decidedly displayed and stopped until the next common drawing fluctuation is performed is set to 700 ms.

  Further, in the state where the variable short state is applied, the start-up opening / closing member 33 is opened and closed in an operation pattern different from the state where the variable short state is not applied. Specifically, in a state in which the variation state is not given, when a win is made in the spread diagram variation display (in the case of a spread diagram), a predetermined time (200 ms in the embodiment) after the start opening / closing member 33 is opened. The release operation is performed once to maintain the release state until e. On the other hand, in the state where the fluctuation state is given, when the common drawing fluctuation display is won (in the case of the common drawing), the opening member 33 is opened until the predetermined opening time elapses. The opening operation for maintaining the state is performed five times. Specifically, the open operation of 896 ms, 960 ms, 960 ms, 960 ms, 1024 ms is performed, and the interval time during which the start-up opening / closing member 33 is held between the open operations is 640 ms, 560 ms, 560 ms, 560 ms It is set to. That is, in the state in which the variable short state is applied, the total opening time of the start opening / closing member 33 is longer than in the state in which the variable short state is not applied, and the player is set to operate advantageously. ing. It should be noted that the upper limit number of winnings (3 in the embodiment) is set to allow winning in the second starting winning opening 31 per one common drawing, and winning from opening the opening / closing member 33 for starting When the number reaches the winning upper limit number (closing condition), the opening / closing operation of the starting opening / closing member 33 is forcibly ended and closed.

  Here, a period (hereinafter referred to as the number of times of variation) in which the variation state is given is determined according to the type of the big hit symbol (special figure 1 or special figure 2) that has won the big hit. Specifically, when the type of big hit symbol (special figure 1 or special symbol 2) is a predetermined symbol (symbol A, symbol B, symbol a, symbol b described later in the embodiment), a definite change state is given The number of times of variation is set so as to continuously give a variation state while being on.

(About judgment value)
On the other hand, the main control ROM 60b stores a big hit determination value indicating that a big hit is to be generated as a result of the symbol variation effect. The big hit judgment value is a judgment value used in judgment (big hit judgment) whether it is a big hit or not using the judgment random number per special drawing, and it can be taken from "0" to "65535" which can be taken by the special random number per judgment. A predetermined number of determination values are determined from among the total of 65,536 integers. Here, as the jackpot determination value, the set number of determination values differs depending on whether or not the above-described probability change state is given at the time of performing the jackpot determination. Specifically, the number of jackpot determination values (1516 in the embodiment) set in the definite variation state is more than the number of jackpot determination values (168 in the embodiment) set in the non-probability variation state. Many are set. That is, by increasing the setting number of the jackpot determination value in the definite change state, the jackpot game is easily generated.

  Further, the main control ROM 60b stores a determination value for determining a special figure. When the result of the big hit determination is affirmative, the special figure determination use decision value causes the first special figure display unit 50A to display the fixed stop display on the special figure 1 or the second special view display unit 50B as the big hit symbol. It is a judgment value determined using a special figure determination random number for special figure 2 as a big hit design. Here, in the embodiment, an integer value of “0” to “123” corresponding to the 124 types of special drawing determination random numbers described above is set as the special drawing determination determination value, and the special drawing determination The special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are individually associated with each of the values.

  Further, the main control ROM 60b stores an effect execution determination value (reach determination value). The effect execution determination value indicates whether or not to execute an effect such as reach effect which suggests that the big hit display may be displayed on the symbol display device 17 when the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is negative. It is a determination value used in determination (reach lottery), and is determined from among all possible 239 integers from "0" to "238" that can be taken by the effect execution determination random number. That is, when the value of the acquired effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value, the main control CPU 60a determines to execute the effect such as the reach effect.

(About special figure fluctuation pattern)
Further, the main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns. The special figure fluctuation pattern is the contents of the effect (display contents of symbol fluctuation effect, light emission effect mode, and the like that are executed from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display to the determination stop display. , And the basic content of the voice presentation mode). In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time from when the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display starts until the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is determined stop display (design fluctuation effect and special drawing The time of fluctuation display is specified.

  Here, as the special figure fluctuation pattern, a special figure fluctuation pattern for plural types of big hit, a special figure fluctuation pattern for multiple types of reach loss for which reach effect is performed, and a normal function for which reach effect is not performed A special figure fluctuation pattern is provided. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern for the big hit is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the big hit judgment is affirmative, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for the reach deviation is a result of the presentation execution judgment The special control fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a in the case of affirmation, and the special drawing fluctuation pattern for deviation normally is a special control fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the presentation execution determination is negative is there. In addition, the reach effect is an effect performed from when the reach display is displayed in the symbol variation effect performed by the symbol display device 17 until the symbol combination of the decoration that is the big hit or the off is stopped and displayed. Hereinafter, the special pattern fluctuation pattern may be simply referred to as a fluctuation pattern.

  The types of special figure fluctuation patterns that can be determined by the main control CPU 60a based on winning on the start winning openings 30, 31 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. A shift variation pattern P1 is normally set as a special figure variation pattern for a shift effect that can be determined when a big hit determination triggered by a winning on the start winning opening 30, 31 is a negative determination (loss). In the symbol variation presentation performed with the variation pattern P1 for out-of-place presentation, a normal background (normal variation image) is displayed as a background image. The normal background is a basic background image that is displayed as a normal symbol variation effect without a special effect, and is displayed as an effect for out of reach without a reach effect, or the symbol variation effect is completed. It means what is displayed before the next symbol variation production is started. In addition, the background is usually displayed in the period from the start of the change to the formation of the reach display in the symbol change effect with the reach effect. The effect pattern defining the specific content of the normal out-of-order effect specified by the normal out-of-variation fluctuation pattern P1 is stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the normal out-of-order effect pattern D1. Then, when the special pattern fluctuation pattern designation command for specifying the deviation fluctuation pattern P1 is input, the effect control CPU 65a determines the normal deviation production pattern D1 as the effect pattern, and normally specifies the deviation pattern D1 for specifying the reproduction pattern The command is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  As shown in FIG. 9, as a special figure fluctuation pattern for out-of-reach reach effects that can be determined based on winning in start winning opening 30, 31, after executing normal reach effect (to be described later) 1 Normal reach out of change variation pattern P2 and 2nd normal reach out of variation change pattern P3 and after performing a super reach effect (described later) through normal reach effect 1st super reach out of place variation pattern P4 to stop fixing the off left pattern The fluctuation pattern P5, the third super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P6, and the fourth super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P7 are set.

  As a special figure fluctuation pattern for the big hit effect which can be determined when the big hit determination triggered by the winning of the start winning opening 30, 31 is a normal hit effect as shown in FIG. The first reach reach big hit fluctuation pattern P9, the second super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P10, the first to reach a final hit pattern after executing the super reach production after normal reach production, and the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P8 3 super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P11, the 4th super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P12, the 5th super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P13 is set. In addition, the first full rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P14 and the second full rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P15 are set as special figure fluctuation patterns for a big hit effect that can be determined only when the big hit determination is a positive determination (hit). There is.

  The normal reach effect is executed after the decoration figure is temporarily stopped on the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c and the reach display is displayed for the symbol change effect specified by the normal reach out-of-out change pattern P2, P3. Then, the decoration figure is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 26b, and after the removal symbol is derived, the removal symbol is fixedly stopped. Further, in the normal reach effect, the normal background is displayed as a background image as in the case of the off normal effect described above, and the reach effect is normally performed under the background. That is, normal reach production means what is usually performed under a background among reach production. The effect pattern defining the specific content of the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach loss change pattern P2, P3 is stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the normal reach effect pattern D2, D3. Then, when the special reach fluctuation pattern designating command for designating the normal reach outlier fluctuation pattern P2, P3 is input, the effect control CPU 65a determines the normal reach out effective effect patterns D2, D3 as the effect pattern, and the normal reach out of effect pattern D2, An effect pattern designating command for designating D3 is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effect specified by the first to fourth super reach variation variation patterns P4 to P7 is temporarily stopped with the decoration figure on the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c as in the normal reach variation variation patterns P2 and P3. Then, the normal reach effect is performed. Then, the background image is switched from the normal background to the reach effect image, and the super reach effect is executed (see FIG. 10). The reach effect image is a background image which is one of the special backgrounds and is displayed in a mode different from the normal background and causes the player to recognize that it is a super reach effect. As the reach effect image, for example, an animation image (moving image) in which a specific character appears, a gradation image in which light and dark and tone are gradually changed, and the like are set. Then, the decoration figure is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 26b, and the off symbol is derived, and the off symbol is determined and stopped. That is, the super reach effect is a reach effect that is evolved after the normal reach effect, and means that a reach effect image is displayed as a background image. The effect patterns that define the specific contents of the symbol variation effects specified by the first to fourth super reach outlier change patterns P4 to P7 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b as corresponding super reach out effect patterns D4 to D7. . Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command specifying the first to fourth super reach deviation fluctuation patterns P4 to P7 is input, the effect control CPU 65a determines the corresponding super reach deviation demonstration patterns D4 to D7 as an effect pattern. Then, an effect pattern designating command for designating the super reach deviation effect pattern D4 to D7 is outputted to the display control CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach big hit variation pattern P8 is the same as the normal reach deviation variation patterns P2 and P3, after the decoration figure is temporarily stopped on the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c and the reach display is displayed , Normal reach production is executed. Then, the decoration figure temporarily stops in the middle symbol row 26b, and the big hit symbol is decided and stopped after the big hit symbol is derived. Further, in the normal reach effect, the normal background is displayed as a background image as in the case of the off normal effect described above, and the reach effect is normally performed under the background. The effect pattern that defines the specific content of the symbol variation effect specified by the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P8 is stored in the effect control ROM 65b as a normal reach big hit effect pattern D8. Then, when the special control fluctuation pattern designation command for specifying the normal reach big hit fluctuation pattern P8 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the normal reach big hit production pattern D8 as the production pattern, and specifies the normal reach big hit production pattern D8. The designated command is output to the display control CPU 70a.

  The symbol variation effects specified by the first to fifth super reach big hit variation patterns P9 to P13 are the same as the super reach deviation variation patterns P4 to P7 after the normal reach effect is executed after the reach indication is displayed. The background image is switched from the background to the reach effect image, and the super reach effect is executed (see FIG. 10). Then, the decoration figure is temporarily stopped in the middle symbol row 26b, the big hit symbol is derived, and the big hit symbol is decided and stopped. The effect patterns specifying the specific contents of the symbol variation effects specified by the first to fifth super reach big hit fluctuation patterns P9 to P13 are stored in the effect control ROM 65b as corresponding super reach big hit performance patterns D9 to D13. . Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command specifying the first to fifth super reach big hit fluctuation patterns P9 to P13 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the corresponding super reach big hit production patterns D9 to D13 as a production pattern. And outputs an effect pattern designation command for designating the super reach effect patterns D9 to D13 to the display control CPU 70a. In addition, the symbol variation production specified by all rotation reach big hit fluctuation patterns P14, P15 is developed from the normal reach production, the production where all the decoration figures fluctuate in the state which is aligned with the combination of the decoration drawing which becomes the big hit display After execution, stop the jackpot symbol. The effect pattern for specifying the specific content of the symbol variation effect specified by the full rotation reach big hit fluctuation patterns P14 and P15 is stored in the effect control ROM 65b as the corresponding full rotation reach big hit effect patterns D14 and D15. Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command for specifying the full rotation reach big hit fluctuation patterns P14 and P15 is input, the production control CPU 65a determines the full rotation reach big hit production patterns D14 and D15 as the production pattern, and the full rotation An effect pattern designating command for designating the reach jackpot effect patterns D14 and D15 is output to the display control CPU 70a.

(Judgment value for determining special pattern fluctuation pattern)
Further, the main control ROM 60b stores a determination value for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation pattern determination determination value is a determination value for determining one special figure fluctuation pattern from among a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns, and “0” which can be taken by the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number A total of 229 integers of “228” are assigned a predetermined number of determination values for determining a special pattern variation pattern for each special pattern variation pattern. Then, the main control CPU 60a determines the special figure fluctuation pattern to which the determination value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number is assigned, whereby the contents and effect time of the effect executed in the symbol fluctuation effect (special figure The fluctuation pattern is identified.

  Here, in the embodiment, the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by the one-step lottery process, but the special figure fluctuation pattern may be determined by the two-stage lottery process. For example, a plurality of special figure fluctuation pattern groups in which a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns are grouped according to the characteristics of the fluctuation mode are set in the main control ROM 60b, and the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined as a random number for determining the special figure fluctuation pattern. A random number for type determination and a random number for special pattern fluctuation pattern determination are set. Then, after the special drawing fluctuation pattern group is determined using the special drawing fluctuation pattern type determination random number, any special drawing fluctuation included in the determined special drawing fluctuation pattern group using the special drawing fluctuation pattern determining random number Determine the pattern. When the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by the two-step lottery process, a predetermined number for the special figure fluctuation pattern type determination corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern type determination random number is allocated for each special figure fluctuation pattern group. In addition, as described above, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination determination value corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number is allocated by a predetermined number for each special figure fluctuation pattern included in each special figure fluctuation pattern group. Determine special pattern fluctuation pattern by lottery process. As described above, when the special figure fluctuation pattern is determined in the two-step lottery process, the special figure fluctuation pattern group is determined on the basis of the special figure fluctuation pattern type determination random number, so that it is easy to select By adjusting the special pattern fluctuation pattern from each special pattern fluctuation pattern group based on the random number for special pattern fluctuation pattern determination, the special pattern fluctuation pattern is selected easily It can be adjusted. In addition, as a special figure fluctuation pattern group, it is possible to group by types of reach such as normal reach and super reach, and to group by types of specific notice effect (roulette advance notice effect) described later.

  Further, the main control ROM 60b stores, as a result of the common drawing change effect, a common drawing determination value indicating that the common drawing is to be generated. The judgment value per common drawing is a judgment value used in the judgment (common judgment per common drawing) whether or not per common drawing using the judgment random number per common drawing, “0” which can be taken by the random number per judgment common drawing A predetermined number of determination values are determined from among the total of 65,536 integers from '65535'. Here, the determination value per common drawing is different from the set number of determination values depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is applied at the time of making the determination per common drawing. Specifically, the number of judgment values per common drawing (in the example, 65535) set in the case of the variable short state is the number of judgment values per common drawing set in the case of the non-shortened state (example) Is set more than one). That is, by increasing the set number of determination values per common drawing in the variable / short state, the common drawing can easily occur.

  The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of common drawing fluctuation patterns, and stores common drawing fluctuation pattern determination determination values corresponding to the common drawing fluctuation patterns. Here, the common drawing fluctuation pattern specifies a fluctuation time of the common drawing fluctuation display from when the common drawing fluctuation display is started to when the common drawing is decidedly stopped. The determination value for determining the common drawing variation pattern is a determination value used to determine the common drawing variation pattern using the random number for determining the common drawing variation pattern, and the numerical value “0” to “possible” of the random number for determining the common drawing variation pattern. It is determined from among nine integers up to 8 ". Then, a predetermined determination value is assigned to each of the common drawing fluctuation patterns, and the common drawing fluctuation pattern to which the common drawing fluctuation pattern determining judgment value corresponding to the acquired common drawing fluctuation pattern determining random number is assigned is the main control It is specified by the CPU 60a. Here, the determination value for determining the common drawing fluctuation pattern is the type and number of the common drawing fluctuation patterns to be assigned depending on whether the gaming state at the time of making the judgment per common drawing is the variable state or the non-shortening state. Are different. Specifically, in the embodiment, a determination value for determining a common drawing fluctuation pattern is assigned to one common drawing fluctuation pattern in the non-shortening state, and a common drawing to determine a fluctuation time (for example, 2000 ms) of a predetermined time While fluctuation patterns are determined, determination values for common drawing fluctuation pattern determination are assigned to a plurality (two in the example) common drawing fluctuation patterns in the case of fluctuation state, and each common drawing fluctuation pattern A common drawing fluctuation pattern that defines a fluctuation time (for example, 820 ms) of a predetermined time and a common drawing fluctuation pattern that determines a fluctuation time different from this (for example, 200 ms) at a ratio according to the number of determination values for common drawing fluctuation pattern determination for Any common drawing fluctuation pattern is determined.

Are configured to The main control CPU 60a determines a special figure fluctuation pattern from among a plurality of special figure fluctuation patterns (variation patterns) stored by the main control ROM 60b based on winning on the start winning hole 30, 31. It has a function as fluctuation pattern determination means (variation pattern determination means). Further, the main control CPU 60a functions as a probability change determination means for determining whether or not to apply a probability change state in which the probability that a hit occurs (the probability that the determination result by the hit determination means is positive) is higher than usual At the same time, it is configured to function as a probability variation giving means for giving a probability variation state after the end of the hit game. Here, the main control CPU 60a is configured to determine whether or not to apply a positive change state only when a hit occurs (when the determination result of the hit determination means is a hit).

  Furthermore, the main control CPU 60a, when a hit occurs (if the determination result of the hit determination means is positive), the probability that the pachinko ball will win the second starting winning opening 31 is a high probability of improving the winning rate state ( It functions as a winning rate improvement state determination unit that determines whether or not to apply variation state), and when a winning rate improvement state is applied, a winning rate improvement state provision period for determining a period for applying a winning rate improvement state It functions as a determination means, and also functions as a variable state provision means for providing a variable short state only during a period of giving a winning rate improvement state determined after the end of the winning game.

(About processing with main control board)
Next, processing executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be described. The main control CPU 60a executes an initial setting process such as a security check upon power-on of the pachinko machine 10, and then shifts to a state in which the pachinko machine 10 can play a game. In this state, normal processing is performed at a predetermined control cycle (every 4 milliseconds). Here, in the normal processing executed by the main control CPU 60a, random number updating processing for updating various random numbers, timer updating processing for measuring time, command input / output processing for inputting / outputting various commands, game information display unit M In addition to processing concerning display contents in, setting processing of flag, processing concerning execution of big hit game, etc., regarding special figure input processing concerning winning in the start part (start winning opening) and judgment per special figure (big hit judgment) Special map start processing is to be executed. Hereinafter, the special view input process and the special view start process will be specifically described.

(About special map input processing)
In the special view input process, as shown in FIG. 5, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a pachinko ball has won in the first starting winning opening 30 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 34 corresponding to the first start winning opening 30 detects a pachinko ball is input. If the determination result in step A11 is negative, the process proceeds to step A15. If the determination result in step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of reservations of the first special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result in step A12 is negative (that is, the number of reservations of the first special view start suspension information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of reservations for the first special view start reservation information <4), the number of the first special view start reservation information is increased by one and the first special information stored in the main control RAM 60c The number of pendings of the figure start pending information is rewritten (step A13). Subsequently, winning information (value of random number for determination for special figure, value of random number for determining special figure, value of random number for effect execution determination, value of various random numbers such as random number for special pattern fluctuation pattern determination) from main control RAM 60c The main control CPU 60a reads out and sets the winning information (value of random number) in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holdings as first special drawing start holding information (step A14). Thus, the process proceeds to step A15.

  Further, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won in the second starting winning opening 31. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 35 corresponding to the second start winning opening 31 detects a pachinko ball is input. When the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special map input process is ended. If the determination result in step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of reservations of the second special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result in step A16 is negative (that is, the number of reservations for the second special view start suspension information is 4), the main control CPU 60a ends the special view input process.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of reservations of the second special view start suspension information <4), the number of the second special view start suspension information is increased by one, and the second special function stored by the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of pendings of the figure start pending information is rewritten (step A17). Subsequently, winning information (value of random number for determination for special figure, value of random number for determining special figure, value of random number for effect execution determination, value of various random numbers such as random number for special pattern fluctuation pattern determination) The main control CPU 60a reads out and sets the winning information (value of random number) in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of holdings as second special drawing start holding information (step A18). Thus, the special map input process is ended.

(About special processing start processing)
Next, special drawing start processing will be described based on FIG. The main control CPU 60a executes the special drawing start process every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special view start process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the special view 1 or the special view 2 is being variably displayed in the special view display portions 50A, 50B and the symbol display device 17, or whether the big hit is in play. To do (step B11). If the determination result in step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special drawing start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of reservations for the second special view start suspension information is read (step B12), and the number of reservations for the second special view startup suspension information is greater than "0". It is determined (step B13). If the determination result in step B13 is negative (if the number of holdings of the second special view start suspension information is 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. Further, when the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special view start suspension information> 0), the main control CPU 60a stores the special view stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. In the variation processing flag, a value "1" indicating that the second special figure variation presentation is to be performed is set. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts one from the number of reservations of the second special view start reservation information (step B14), and the second special information stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of reservations. The main control CPU 60a acquires the figure start reservation information (value of random number for determination for special figure, value of random number for special figure determination, value of random number for presentation execution determination, value of various random numbers such as special figure variation pattern determination random number) (Step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires second special view start reservation information (random number) from the first special view storage area in which the second special view start reservation information stored earliest is stored. Then, after the main control CPU 60a acquires the random number associated with the second special view start reservation information, the second special view storage area in which the second special view start reservation information stored second earlier is stored is stored. 2) The special view start reservation information (random number) is stored in the first special view storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores second special view start reserve information (random number) of the third special view storage area in which the second special view start reserve information stored third earlier is stored. The second special view start reserve information (random number) of the fourth special view storage area in which the second special view start reserve information stored in the area and stored the fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special It is stored in the figure storage area. That is, the second special view start suspension information is read out by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special view suspension display unit 53 so as to correspond to the number of suspension of the second special view start suspension information after subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the second special view start reservation information are acquired by the process of the step B15, as shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 60a determines the acquired value of the per-special-figure determination random number in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether or not it matches the stored big hit determination value (step B22). As described above, the probability (that is, the jackpot probability) that the judgment result of the big hit judgment is positive in the non-probability state (in the low probability state) is set to 168/65536, and it is in the positive state (high probability) The probability (big hit probability) that the judgment result is positive at the time of (1) is set to 1516/65536. Then, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is affirmative (if a big hit occurs), "1" is set in the hit flag indicating that the variation is a big hit (step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines a final stop symbol (special figure 2) to be a big hit symbol to be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B as a decision stop based on the acquired special figure determination random number for special figure determination (step B24). ). Here, since the big hit design of the special figure 2 is associated with the value of the special figure determination random number, the main control CPU 60a selects the special figure 2 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number. It will decide the jackpot design by making a decision. Further, in the case of the big hit symbol giving a positive variation state, the main control CPU 60a sets a positive variation flag indicating a positive variation state to “1” after the end of the big hit game and in the case of a big hit symbol not giving a positive variation state. Set the definite change flag to "0". Also, in the case of a big hit symbol giving a variable state short jackpot symbol, set the variable short flag showing the variable short state to "1" after the end of the big hit game, in the case of a big hit symbol not giving a variable short state Set the variable short flag to "0". The variable short flag is set to “0” when the condition for ending the variable short is satisfied. When the jackpot symbol (special drawing) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special drawing fluctuation pattern from among the drawing fluctuation patterns for hitting based on the value of the special drawing fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B25) ).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B22 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs effect execution determination (reach determination) to determine whether or not reach effect is to be executed ( Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a performs the winning determination based on whether or not the value of the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c in the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. Then, if the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (in the case of performing reach effect), the main control CPU 60a sets the final stop symbol (special symbol for the stop symbol displayed on the second special view display unit 50B) It determines as FIG. 2) (step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for out-of-reach reach based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B29).

  Further, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a is an out-of-design symbol that is displayed on the second special view display unit 50B as a fixed stop Is determined as the final stop symbol (special figure 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for outliers based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B31).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure fluctuation pattern and the final stop symbol (special figure 2) in steps B25, B29, B31 sets a predetermined control command (step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a designates the determined special figure fluctuation pattern and instructs the start of the symbol fluctuation and also designates the special figure 2 to be the final stop pattern. 2 Set the specified command. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special drawing start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B13 is negative (if the number of reservations for the second special view start suspension information = 0), the number of suspension of the first special view startup suspension information is read (step B16). It is determined whether the number of holdings of the figure start reservation information is larger than "0" (step B17). If the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of reservations for the first special view start suspension information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special view fluctuation stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. The processing flag is set to a value “0” indicating that the first special figure fluctuation effect is to be performed. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special view start reservation information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special view start reservation information. The main control CPU 60a acquires the value of the judgment random number per special drawing, the value of the special drawing determination random number, the value of the effect execution judgment random number, and the value of the special drawing fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B19). Execute hit determination processing. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the first start winning opening is stored when the second special view start suspension information acquired triggered by the winning of the second starting winning opening 31 is stored in the main control RAM 60c. Even if the first special drawing start reservation information acquired triggered by winning in 30 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, it is possible to preferentially execute the symbol variation effect based on the second special drawing start reservation information It has become.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires first special view start reservation information (random number) from the first special view storage area in which the first special view start reservation information stored earliest is stored. Then, after the main control CPU 60a acquires the random number associated with the first special view start reservation information, the second special view storage area in which the first special view start reservation information stored second earlier is stored is stored. (1) The special drawing start reservation information (random number) is stored in the first special drawing storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the first special view start reserve information (random number) of the third special view storage area in which the first special view start reserve information stored third earlier is stored. The first special drawing start reservation information (random number) of the fourth special drawing storage area in which the first special drawing start reservation information stored in the area and stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special It is stored in the figure storage area. That is, the first special view start suspension information is read out by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special view hold display unit 52 so as to correspond to the hold number of the first special view start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as first special view start reservation information are acquired by the process of the step B19, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 60a determines the acquired value of the judgment random number per special view in the main control ROM 60b. A big hit determination (hit lottery) is performed to determine whether the value matches the stored big hit determination value (step B32). Then, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is a big hit (if a big hit game occurs), "1" indicating the big hit fluctuation is set in the hit flag (step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines a final stop symbol (special figure 1) to be a big hit symbol to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A as a decision stop based on the acquired special figure determination random number value (step B34). ). Here, since the big hit symbol of the special figure 1 is associated with the value of the special figure determination random number, the main control CPU 60a selects the special figure 1 associated with the acquired special figure determination random number. The big hit design will be determined by deciding the. Then, when the big hit symbol (special figure 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure variation pattern from among the special figure variation patterns for big hit based on the value of the special figure variation pattern determination random number. To do (step B35).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the big hit determination in step B32 is negative (if it is not a big hit), the main control CPU 60a performs effect execution determination (reach determination) to determine whether or not reach effect is to be executed ( Step B37). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a performs the winning determination based on whether or not the value of the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c at the time of the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. Then, if the determination result in step B37 is affirmative (in the case of performing reach effect), the main control CPU 60a sets the final stop symbol (special symbol for the stop symbol displayed on the first special view display unit 50A) It determines as FIG. 1) (step B38). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for out-of-reach reach based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B39).

  Further, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B37 is negative (in the case where the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a is an out pattern that is displayed on the first special view display unit 50A as a fixed stop Is determined as the final stop symbol (special figure 1) (step B40). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for outliers based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B41).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure fluctuation pattern and the final stop symbol (special figure 1) in steps B35, B39, B41 sets a predetermined control command (step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a designates the determined special figure fluctuation pattern and instructs the start of the symbol fluctuation and also designates the special figure 1 to be the final stop design. 1 Set the specified command. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special drawing start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B17 is negative (if the number of reservations in the first special view start suspension information is 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command to start execution of the demonstration effect? It is determined whether the determination is negative (step B20), and if the determination result is negative, the demonstration designation command is output and the special view start process is ended (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special view start process.

  Here, each control command set in the special view start process is output to the effect control board 65 by the main control CPU 60a in the command input / output process in the above-described normal process, and in the special view fluctuation pattern in the timer update process. Main control CPU 60a starts measurement of the identified fluctuation time, and at the same time, main control CPU 60a controls corresponding special view display portions 50A and 50B to start special view fluctuation display. Then, the main control CPU 60a instructs the fluctuation stop of the decoration drawing based on the fluctuation time defined in the designated special drawing fluctuation pattern, and effects control of all the symbol stop commands for displaying the symbol combination in the decision stop display Output to the substrate 65.

  Here, in the case of the big hit symbol (big hit symbol A, B, a, b) of the type to which the main control CPU 60a gives the big hit symbol a definite change state, a probability change state indicating the positive change state after the end of the big hit game Set the flag to "1". The main control CPU 60a is configured to set the probability change flag to “0” in the flag setting process when the probability change state end condition is satisfied. In the embodiment, the termination condition of the probability change state is to be satisfied when the next big hit game starts, so that the probability change flag is set to "0" at the timing when the main control CPU 60a starts the big hit game. It has become. That is, the main control CPU 60a can specify the game state by referring to the probability change flag as the game state specification information.

(About presentation control)
Next, the process performed by the effect control board 65 will be described. The effect control CPU 65a of the effect control board 65 determines the effect pattern to be executed in the symbol change effect based on the special view change pattern specification command input from the main control CPU 60a, and specifies the determined effect pattern The designation command is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73 and the like. The effect control ROM 65b stores a plurality of effect patterns that specify effect contents corresponding to each effect mode, and stores effect pattern distribution determination values corresponding to each effect pattern. The judgment value for effect pattern distribution is a judgment value used by the effect control CPU 65a to determine the effect pattern using the effect pattern distribution random number, and a predetermined judgment value is assigned for each effect pattern, and is acquired. The effect pattern to which the determination value for effect pattern distribution corresponding to the effect pattern distribution random number is assigned is specified. Then, the effect control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern specification command input from the main control CPU 60a based on the setting value of the effect mode flag input. That is, the effect control CPU 65a has a function as effect pattern determination means for determining a predetermined effect pattern from among a plurality of effect patterns according to the effect mode based on the special view fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. doing.

  In addition, when the special control 1 designation command or the special view 2 designation command is input, the effect control CPU 65a causes each symbol to be displayed on the symbol display device 17 as the final stop according to the stop symbol designation of the special view corresponding to the command. The decoration of the columns 26a, 26b, 26c is determined. That is, when the symbol designated by the special figure 1 designation command or the special figure 2 designation command is a big hit symbol, the effect control CPU 65a makes each symbol row 26a, 26b, and so on to be a symbol combination of a decoration that will be a big hit display. Decide the decoration figure (big hit design) of 26c. Then, at the stop timing of the decoration drawing of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c specified by the effect pattern, the decoration drawing designation command of each row is output to the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, the sound control board 73, etc. Do. Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a starts measurement of time by the sub timer means (not shown) at the same time as the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command is input, and at a predetermined timing set in the determined effect pattern The temporary stop symbol designation command for temporarily stopping the decoration of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is output. Then, when the all symbol stop command is output from the main control CPU 60a, the decoration figure is decided to stop.

(Display control)
In the display control board 70, when the effect pattern specification command is input from the effect control CPU 65a, the display control CPU 70a selects display data indicating the effect contents corresponding to the effect pattern specified by the command, and the display pattern is selected as the effect pattern. The symbol display device 17 is controlled to execute the symbol variation effect with the corresponding display content. Then, the display control CPU 70a counts an elapsed time from the start of the effect along with the start of the symbol variation production, and a predetermined image is displayed on the symbol display device 17 so that an image based on the effect pattern is displayed for each measured time. Switch every cycle of Then, when the temporary stop symbol designation command of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is input from the effect control CPU 65a, the display control CPU 70a designates temporary stop symbols at the valid stop positions 27 of the corresponding symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c. The temporary display of the decoration specified by the command is stopped, and when all the symbols stop command is input, the decoration display specified by the decoration specification command at the effective stop position 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is displayed on the symbol display device The display contents of the symbol display device 17 are controlled so as to display a fixed stop on the display 17, and the symbol variation effect is ended. In addition, when the mode designation command is input, the display control CPU 70a causes the background image corresponding to the instructed rendering mode to be displayed.

(About roulette announcement production)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the special figure fluctuation pattern (the special figure fluctuation pattern for reaching the out of reach and the special figure fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect is performed based on the result of the big hit determination triggered by the winning in the start winning hole 30, 31). Reach display, super reach effect, all turn reach effect or a symbol combination of a decoration drawing to be a big hit is displayed (ie, a hit display is displayed) when a special drawing variation pattern for a special drawing is determined (ie, a hit display is displayed) A roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) can be executed during the symbol change effect of the symbol display device 17 as an advance notice effect for giving a notice that a big hit game is given) and the like.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the roulette advance notice execution timing K1 after the reach indication is displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 is set as the timing at which the roulette advance announcement effect can be executed (FIG. 10). reference). And whether the roulette announcement production of an example develops from a normal reach production performed in the display state of a reach display to a super reach production or a all-rotation reach production, and the kind of super reach production in the case of developing (development destination ) And is used as an indication that suggests all rotation reach effect (development destination). In addition, the roulette advance notice effect is also used as an effect that indicates the degree of expectation that the big hit display is displayed in the symbol change effect concerned. The super reach effect is executed from the reach display being displayed on the display section 17a in the symbol change effect to the stop of the symbol change effect (the symbol combination of the decoration drawing which is per special drawing or special drawing is stopped and displayed) It is a kind of possible development effects, and by performing this super reach effect, the degree of expectation that the big hit display is displayed is increased. Moreover, all rotation reach production is a kind of development effect developed from normal reach production, and it is definitely notified that the big hit display will be displayed by execution of this all rotation reach production There is. That is, whether the roulette announcement production (specific announcement presentation production) of the embodiment is developed into a super reach production or a full turn reach production which is a viable development production by the stop of the symbol change production, and the symbol change production is stopped This is a production that suggests the type of super reach production that is a possible development production by the time of day and the full turn reach production. The roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) is also an effect that suggests the degree of expectation that the hit display is displayed. Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the preceding suggestion effect execution timing K2 capable of executing the preceding indication effect to be described later is set between the start of variation of the symbol variation effect and the timing roulette announcement effect execution timing K1 ( See Figure 10). In the embodiment, the front suggestion effect execution timing K2 is set between the display of the reach display on the display unit 17a during the symbol variation effect and the roulette advance notice effect execution timing K1, and the execution is performed at the previous suggestion effect execution timing K2. The contents of the production etc. of the roulette advance notice production are to be suggested by the pre-indication play. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the variation time of the symbol variation effect specified by each of the variation patterns P2 to P15 is different, but the time from the start of the variation to the preceding suggestion effect execution timing K2 and the roulette advance announcement effect execution timing K1 The time until is set to the same. That is, in the symbol variation effects specified by each of the variation patterns P2 to P15, by setting the same as the preceding suggestion effect execution timing K2 at which the preceding suggestion effect is executed and the roulette advance notice effect execution timing K1 at which the roulette advance notice effect is executed. Depending on the timing at which the pre-indication effect and the roulette pre-notice effect are performed, it is possible to enhance the interest of the roulette pre-notice effect by preventing the jackpot or the sway from being easily guessed. Then, in the symbol variation production specified by the respective variation patterns P2 to P15 of the embodiment in which the time from the variation start to the roulette advance announcement execution timing K1 is set the same, the termination of the symbol fluctuation presentation from the roulette advance announcement execution timing K1 The time until is different. In other words, the time of roulette preliminary announcement production or the production (following production of normal reach production or super reach production) performed after that differs.

  In the roulette preview production, options (non-suggested options) for which it is not possible to identify whether or not to develop a production such as super reach production or full turn reach production, or options suggesting the type of super reach production or full turn reach production ) Is displayed on the display unit 17a, effects are determined to determine any option by the roulette lottery form, and the effect control CPU 65a causes the symbol display device 17 to execute an effect corresponding to the determined one option. Configured For example, if the type of super reach effect or the suggested option suggesting all-turn reach effect is determined, the effect control CPU 65a causes the symbol display device 17 to execute the corresponding type of super-reach effect or all-turn reach effect Configured The super reach effect as the development effect is stored in the effect control ROM 65b as a plurality of types having different degrees of expectation that the big hit display may be displayed in the symbol variation effect when the super reach effect is executed. . The contents of the effect of the roulette advance effect are specified by the effect pattern determined by the effect control CPU 65a. That is, the effect control CPU 65a executes, with the symbol display device 17, a roulette advance notice effect as a specific advance notice effect in which the type of the super reach effect which is the development effect and the plurality of options suggesting the full turn reach effect are recognizablely displayed. (Displayed on the display unit 17a).

  Here, as the suggested options that can be displayed as options for roulette advance notice, “suggested options for all turn reach effect” that indicate all turn reach effects, and a plurality of suggested options that indicate the type of super reach effect are set. There is. In the embodiment, four types are set as the types that can be displayed as a suggestion option that suggests the type of super reach effect. Specifically, "Suggested options for super-developed super reach production" that suggests types of super-developed super reach productions, "Suggested options for butterfly print-appearing super reach productions" that suggest types of super-reach production, super hot "Suggested options for super-super reach production" that suggests types of super reach production, and "Suggested options for chance super reach production" that indicate types of chance super reach production are set. In the roulette advance notice effect, the display of the suggested performance options displayed on the display unit 17a is simplified as shown in FIG. That is, "Suggested option for all rotation reach effect" is displayed as "all rotation", and "Suggested option for super-developed super reach direction effect" is displayed as "super-developed", and "Suggested option for butterfly pattern appearance super reach effect" "Displays butterfly pattern appearance", "suggestive option for intense super-super reach production" is displayed as "super-super", and "suggestive option for chance super reach production" is displayed as "chance". In addition, two types of “?” And “x” are set as non-suggestive options that can be displayed as options for roulette preview effect production. In addition, about the suggestion option displayed by roulette advance notice production, it may refer to the simplified description shown in FIG. 12 in subsequent description. In the embodiment, seven options including the suggested option and the non-suggested option are set as the options that can be displayed in the roulette advance notice effect, but the number can be changed and set.

  FIG. 12 is a view schematically showing a state of shifting from a preceding suggestion effect to be described later to a roulette prior notice effect developed during symbol variation effect, and a specific display mode displayed in a related effect to be described later of the preceding suggestion effect Is used as a display mode of the option of the roulette advance presentation effect. In the embodiment, glass fragments are used as the specific display mode, and the display area 74 indicating the fragments is displayed on the display portion 17 a of the symbol display device 17, and the above-mentioned options (“all "Rotation", "super development", "butterfly appearance", "super heat", "chance", "?", "X") are displayed. In addition, as the roulette advance notice effect, a plurality of types in which the number of display areas 74 to be displayed is different are set. Specifically, a first roulette announcement effect R1 (FIG. 12 (a)) in which eight display areas 74 are displayed and a second roulette announcement effect R2 (FIG. 12 (b)) in which four display areas 74 are displayed , The third roulette announcement effect R3 (FIG. 12 (c)) in which two display areas 74 are displayed, and the fourth roulette announcement effect R4 (FIG. 12 (d)) in which one display area 74 is displayed. It is set. In the first and second roulette preview effects R1, R2, a plurality of display areas 74 are displayed so as to line up in the circumferential direction, and in the third roulette preview effect R3, two display areas 74 are separately displayed on the left and right Ru.

  In the first roulette preview effect R1 and the second roulette preview effect R2, a plurality of options selected from among the seven options are settable to be displayed in the display area 74, and in the third roulette preview effect R3: Among the seven types of options, any one of four types of “full rotation”, “super development”, “butterfly appearance”, and “super heat” is set to be displayable in the display area 74, and the fourth roulette is selected. In the notice effect R4, among the seven types of options, any one of three types of "full rotation", "butterfly appearance", and "super heat" is set to be displayed in the display area 74. In the first roulette announcement effect R1 and the second roulette announcement effect R2, a plurality of the same options may be displayed. FIG. 12A shows an example in which the option of “chance” and the option of “x” are displayed two by two.

  In the roulette lottery mode in the roulette advance notice effect, in the display area 74 displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17, the selection state is indicated by the display position of the index CU, and the effect control CPU 65a By displaying the indicator CU, the current display area 74 (option) is selected. Specifically, the indicator CU has a display form in which the outer periphery of the display area 74 displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 emits light with luminance different from that of the other areas, and the display position of the indicator CU The player can clearly recognize the selected display area 74. In FIG. 12, the index CU is represented by a thick line. The display position of the indicator CU sequentially moves the display area 74 at preset time intervals, and stops at a position corresponding to any display area 74 previously determined by the effect control CPU 65 a based on the passage of a predetermined time. Is displayed. Specifically, in the first and second roulette announcement effects R1 and R2, the indicator CU sequentially moves the display area 74 clockwise, and in the third roulette announcement effect R3, the two display areas 74 are alternately moved. It is set. That is, the indicator CU sequentially moves to the display region adjacent to the currently stopped display region, and the indicator CU is divided into a plurality of pieces by repeatedly and continuously displaying the indicator CU and displaying the movement. The roulette lottery form of the indicator CU which repeatedly moves between the display areas is realized. Then, the player is notified which display area 74 has been determined by the display position of the indicator CU after the final stop display. In the fourth roulette advance notice effect R4 in which only one display area 74 is displayed, since the option displayed in one display area 74 is determined, the indicator CU may not be displayed, but in the embodiment, One display area 74 is indicated by an index CU.

  Here, while the option is selected in the roulette preview effect, the indicator CU is displayed in a blinking manner, and when the option is determined, the indicator CU is turned on and the entire determined display area 74 has a color different from that of the other areas. The light emission may be displayed by In addition, any mode may be used as the mode of the indicator CU, as long as it is a mode that allows the player to recognize which display area 74 is selected by the display position. In the first and second roulette announcement effects R1 and R2 as the roulette lottery mode, the index CU is sequentially moved clockwise, but it is sequentially moved counterclockwise, clockwise or counterclockwise. Instead, the indicator CU may move based on a preset movement pattern.

  The effect pattern determined by the effect control CPU 65a in accordance with the special figure fluctuation pattern will be described in relation to the roulette advance notice effect. The first normal reach deviation pattern P2 corresponding to the first normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern P2, the second normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern P3, the first super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P4, the normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern P8, and the first super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern P9 The second roulette notice effect execution timing K1 when the effect control CPU 65a determines the second normal reach out effect pattern D3, the chance super reach out effect pattern D4, the normal reach big hit effect pattern D8, and the chance super reach big hit effect pattern D9.

In addition, super-evolving super reach jackpot effect pattern D12 in which the first roulette preview effect R1 to the third roulette preview effect R3 is executed is a production pattern for which the suggested option of “super development” is selected in the roulette preview effects R1 to R3. It is set. The types of effect patterns classified as butterfly pattern appearance super reach big hit staging pattern D11 and super development super reach big hit staging pattern D12 are the same as the production patterns classified as the super atatsu reach reach big hit rendering pattern D10. In accordance with the type of roulette preview effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns are set which differ in combination including the corresponding "butterfly appearance" or "super development" (see FIG. 14).

  Here, with regard to the out-of-out effect patterns D4 to D7 and the big hit effect patterns D9 to D12 common to the super reach effect, the change time is different based on the out variation patterns P4 to P7 and the big hit change patterns P9 to P12 In the effects specified by each of the effect patterns D4 to D7 and D9 to D12, the time for roulette announcement effect or super reach effect is different. In this manner, by setting a plurality of fluctuation patterns P4 to P7 and P9 to P12 having different fluctuation times as the fluctuation patterns for performing the same kind of super reach effect, roulette announcement effect or super reach effect having different fluctuation times is performed. Can increase the variation of the presentation.

  As an effect pattern classified into the fifth super reach big hit effect pattern D13 in which the fourth roulette advance notice effect R4 is executed, a 13-1th super choice option of "super hot" in the fourth roulette advance effect R4 A reach jackpot effect pattern D13-1 and a thirteenth super reach jackpot effect pattern D13-2 in which a suggestion option of “butterfly appearance” is selected in the fourth roulette advance notice effect R4 are set (see FIG. 14). ). In the embodiment, the fifth super reach jackpot effect pattern D13 in which the fourth roulette preview effect R4 is executed is a fluctuation time with the fluctuation patterns P9 to P12 for specifying the jackpot effect patterns D9 to D12 for specifying the super reach effect. Is performed based on the fifth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P13 which is different, and the time of the effect specified by the big hit effect patterns D9 to D12, and the effect of the effect specified by the fifth super reach big hit effect pattern D13 With time, the time of roulette announcement production or super reach production is different. Thus, by setting the fluctuation pattern P13 set to a specific time as the fluctuation time when the fourth roulette announcement effect R4 of the big hit decision is executed, the premium feeling due to the difference of the fluctuation time is increased and the effect is produced Improve the interest of

  The first full rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D14 in which the third roulette advance announcement effect R3 is executed is set as an effect pattern for which the “all rotation” suggestion option is selected in the third roulette advance announcement effect R3. Then, since "full rotation" is determined in the third roulette advance notice effect R3 as the effect pattern classified into the first full rotation reach big hit effect pattern D14, the two display areas displayed on the display unit 17a The combination of the options displayed on the 74 is the "full rotation" and the "super development" The 14-1 full rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D14-1, the "full rotation" and the "butterfly appearance" the 14-2 Three types of effect patterns of the full turn reach big hit effect pattern D14-2 and the 14-3 full turn reach big hit effect pattern D14-3 which becomes "full turn" and "super heat" are set (see FIG. 14). In addition, in the second all rotation reach big hit effect pattern D15 in which the fourth roulette advance notice effect R4 is executed, “1 all rotation” is displayed in the display area 74 and one of the 15-1 all rotation reach big hit effect pattern D15-1 Only types of effect patterns are set. That is, the first normal reach losing effect pattern D2, the second normal reach losing effect pattern D3, the chance super reach losing effect pattern D4, the super atrium reach losing effect pattern D5, the butterfly pattern appearance super reach losing effect pattern D6, the super-developed super reach losing Production pattern D7, Normal reach big hit production pattern D8, Chance super reach big hit production pattern D9, Super hot super reach Big hit production pattern D10, Butterfly pattern Super reach big hit production pattern D11, Super development Super reach big hit production pattern D12, fifth super reach The big hit effect pattern D13 and the first full rotation reach big hit effect pattern D14 are classified into each of the effect patterns D2 to D14, and the corresponding roulette announcement effects R1 to R4 Choices displayed in have (combinations of) are set different types of effect patterns. Note that the fifth super reach jackpot effect pattern D13 in which the fourth roulette preview effect R4 is executed and the other super reach jackpot effect patterns D9 to D12 are based on the fluctuation patterns P13 and P9 to P12 having different fluctuation times. In the same manner as described above, the first all-rotation reach big hit effect pattern D14 where the third roulette advance notice effect R3 is executed and the second all-rotation reach big hit effect pattern D15 where the fourth roulette advance notice effect R4 is performed By separately setting fluctuation patterns P14 and P15 having different fluctuation times as fluctuation patterns specifying “the total rotation” is displayed as an option in the fourth roulette preview effect R4, the premium feeling of the roulette preview effect is fluctuated. Can be amplified by the difference between

  Here, there are cases where the effect patterns having different numbers of options and combinations of options classified into the effect patterns D2 to D14 may be referred to as a sub effect pattern. The sub effect patterns to be classified into the effect patterns D2 to D14 are selected in the selection processing of the type of roulette advance effect described later performed based on the result of the big hit determination and the type of fluctuation pattern in the effect control CPU 65a. The thing corresponding to the kind of roulette advance notice effect is determined by the effect control CPU 65a. That is, if the first roulette advance notice effect R1 is selected, the sub effect pattern in which the combination of eight options is set is determined, and if the second roulette advance effect R2 is selected, the combination of four options is selected If the sub rendering pattern in which is set is determined and the third roulette announcement rendering R3 is selected, a sub rendering pattern in which a combination of two options is set is determined.

  Here, as the fluctuation pattern which can be selected by the main control CPU 60a, a fluctuation pattern not specifying the roulette advance notice effect is set, and the special control fluctuation pattern designating command for designating the fluctuation pattern is input. As the effect pattern that can be determined, the effect control ROM 65b stores a non-roulette advance effect pattern for ending the symbol variation effect without executing the roulette advance effect or for developing it to the super reach effect.

  The probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the fluctuation pattern (decision probability in FIG. 11) is the normal reach jackpot fluctuation pattern P8 and the first super reach jackpot fluctuation pattern P9 when the jackpot determination result in the embodiment is positive. , Second super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P10, third super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P11, fourth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P12, fifth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P13, first all rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P14, second all The rotation reach big hit fluctuation pattern P15 is set to become higher in order. On the other hand, when the jackpot determination result is negative, the probability that the main control CPU 60a determines the fluctuation pattern is the fourth super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P7, the third super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P6, and the second super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P5, The first super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P4, the second normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern P3, and the first normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern P2 are set to be higher in this order. Thus, by setting the probability of determining each of the variation patterns P2 to P7 and P8 to P15, the possibility of the symbol display device 17 displaying the symbol combination of the decoration drawing to be a big hit is given, i.e. a big hit game The degree of expectation differs depending on the type of effect pattern specified by each of the variation patterns P2 to P7 and P8 to P15. That is, in the case of developing into the super reach effect, the degree of expectation that the big hit game is granted is higher than when only the normal reach effect is executed, and also in the case of developing into the super reach effect, depending on the type of the super reach effect. The degree of expectation that the jackpot game is granted is different. Specifically, the chance super reach production specified by the chance super reach loss production pattern D4 and the chance super reach jackpot production pattern D9, the super attsu super reach loss production pattern D5, and the super attsu super reach jackpot production pattern D10 Super Atsu Super reach production, Butterfly appearance Super reach out of line production pattern D6 and Butterfly appearance Super reach Big hit production pattern D11 specified Butterfly pattern appearance Super reach production, Super development Super reach out production pattern D7 and Super development Super reach jackpot Comparing the super-developed super reach production specified by the production pattern D12, in the order of chance super reach production, super hot super production production, butterfly pattern appearing super reach production, super-developed super reach production Expected degree per game is given is high. In addition, about "the symbol combination of the decoration which becomes a big hit is displayed on the symbol display device 17", it simply refers to "the big hit is displayed", and "the degree of expectation that the big hit game is given" It is sometimes referred to as a "big hit expectation".

  Then, in the configuration in which the jackpot expectation is set to be different depending on the type of reach effect as described above, the option indicating the type of reach effect in the roulette advance notice effect implies the degree of expectation of the corresponding reach effect. The all rotation reach effect specified by the all rotation reach jackpot effect patterns D14 and D15 is an effect (development effect) selected only in the case of a big hit. In addition, the effect pattern (D8) specifying the normal reach effect in which "?" Is selected in the roulette advance effect is likely to be selected if the jackpot determination result is affirmative, while the "×" is selected in the roulette advance effect. The effect pattern (D2) specifying the normal reach effect for which is selected is not selected when the jackpot determination result is affirmative. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the big hit expectation of the option displayed in the roulette preview production is “×”, “?”, “Chance”, “super hot”, “butterfly appearance”, “super development” , "All the rotation" in order to become higher.

  Here, in the roulette advance notice effect, the display unit 17 a of the symbol display device 17 is configured to display an expectation degree display effect indicating an expectation degree corresponding to the option displayed in each of the display areas 74. The expectation degree display effect is an index indicating how much the expectation degree at which the big hit display is displayed in the option displayed in the display area 74 is, and in the embodiment, the expectation degree of the star shape The display number of the display 75 represents the size of the degree of expectation. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, "total rotation" is seven star-shaped expectation display 75, "super development" is six star-shaped expectation display 75, and "butterfly appearance" is a star The expectation degree indication 75 of five, "super heat" is four expectation degree indication 75 of star shape, "chance" is three expectation degree indication 75 of star shape, "?" Is an expectation degree degree display of star shape Two “75” and “x” are set to one star-shaped expected degree display 75. Then, in the roulette advance notice effect, the expectation degree indication 75 is displayed in different numbers for each option indicating the type of the super reach effect, and the expectation degree indication 75 is the super reach effect (developmental effect) Suggest the degree of expectation corresponding to the type of In the embodiment, the star-shaped expected degree display 75 indicating the expected degree display effect is displayed in the same display area 74 in which the option is displayed, separately from the display of the option.

(About the degree of expectation of roulette announcement production)
Here, in the embodiment, the symbol variation effect for which the roulette advance notice effect R1 to R3 is executed is whether or not the big hit symbol (hit display result) is displayed by the number of options displayed in the roulette advance notice effect R1 to R3 It is set to change the possibilities. That is, in the case of the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the big hit determination result is positive (in the case of big hit), the effect control CPU 65a has a smaller number of options than the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R3 having a large number of options. The roulette advance notice effects R1 to R3 are set so as to be easily determined. On the other hand, if the big hit determination result is negative (in the case of out of place), the effect control CPU 65a determines roulette announcement effects R1 to R3 having a larger number of options than roulette announcement effects R1 to R3 having a small number of options. It is set easily. In the embodiment, as described above, the fourth roulette preview effect R4 for displaying one option is settable only when the big hit determination result is affirmative, and the fourth roulette preview effect R4 is When executed, it is a premium effect that a big hit display is displayed.

  The relationship between the number of options displayed in the roulette advance notice effect and the jackpot expectation will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 15, when the big hit determination result is positive, the probability that the effect control CPU 65a determines the first to third roulette announcement effects R1, R2, R3 (determination probability in FIG. 15) is the first roulette announcement It is set to become higher in the order of effect R1 <second roulette notice effect R2 <third roulette notice effect R3. On the other hand, when the jackpot determination result is negative, the probability that the effect control CPU 65a determines the first to third roulette announcement effects R1, R2, R3 is the third roulette announcement effect R3 <the second roulette announcement effect R2 <the first It is set to become higher in the order of roulette announcement effect R1. As described above, by setting the probability of determining each of the roulette preview effects R1, R2, R3, the degree of expectation for a big hit will increase as the number of options in the roulette preview effects R1, R2, R3 decreases.

  Incidentally, to describe a specific configuration for determining types of roulette advance notice effects R1, R2 and R3, when the effect control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern that the roulette advance notice effects R1, R2 and R3 can be, the effect control ROM 65b The type of roulette advance notice effect is drawn by lottery from among the first roulette advance notice effect R1, the second roulette advance notice effect R2, and the third roulette advance notice effect R3 using random numbers, judgment values and a roulette effect lottery table stored in decide. Assuming that random numbers and judgment values used in determining the type of roulette effect are designated as random numbers for advance effect lottery and judgment values for advance effect lottery, the predetermined number of integer values for random numbers for advance effect lottery are set The effect control CPU 65a updates the random numbers for advance presentation lottery one by one in a predetermined cycle (4 ms), temporarily stores the value after the update in the effect control RAM 65c, and rewrites the value before the update. In each of the roulette effect lottery table used when the big hit determination result is positive and the roulette effect lottery table used when the big hit determination result is negative, the first roulette advance notice effect R1, the second roulette advance notice effect R2, the third roulette In accordance with the type of advance notice effect R3, the judgment value for the advance notice lottery for the integer value that can be taken of the random number for advance notice lottery is distributed. Then, the effect control CPU 65a acquires a random number for advance effect lottery at the input timing of the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 60a, and also acquires the acquired value of the random number for advance effect lottery for the roulette effect lottery table. The type of roulette effect is determined in comparison with the set value for the notice effect lottery. That is, as described above, the distribution of the judgment value for the notice effect lottery in the respective roulette effect lottery tables for the positive and negative of the big hit judgment result, as described above, the decision probability when the big hit judgment result is positive is the first roulette notice effect R1 <The second roulette notice effect R2 <The third roulette notice effect R3 is higher in the order, the decision probability is negative when the big hit judgment result is the third roulette notice effect R3 <second roulette notice effect R2 <first roulette notice effect By setting to increase in the order of R1, it is possible to increase the expectation for a big hit as the number of options in the roulette preview effects R1, R2, R3 decreases.

  Further, in the embodiment, when the jackpot determination result is positive, and the fluctuation pattern having the high jackpot expectation is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the first roulette announcement effect R1 <the second roulette announcement effect R2 <the second When the determination probability becomes higher in the order of 3 roulette advance notice effects R3 and the big hit determination result is negative, and the fluctuation pattern having a low degree of expectation for the big hit is determined by the main control CPU 60a, the third roulette notice effect R3 < The determination probability is set to be higher in the order of the second roulette announcement effect R2 <the first roulette announcement effect R1. Specifically, for example, when the fourth super reach deviation fluctuation pattern P7 and the fourth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P12 for which the production control CPU 65a determines the super-developed super reach production as the super reach production are compared, the fourth super super at the main control CPU 60a When the reach out of variation fluctuation pattern P7 is determined, in the lottery of the type of roulette advance notice in the effect control CPU 65a, the third roulette advance notice R3 <second roulette advance notice R2 <first roulette advance notice R1 in order It is easy to be determined, and when the fourth super reach big hit fluctuation pattern P12 is decided by the main control CPU 60a, in the lottery of the type of roulette advance notice by the effect control CPU 65a, the first roulette advance notice effect R1 <second roulette notice effect R2 <third rule Are easy to set is determined by the order of bets announcement attraction R3. That is, even when the same "super development" is determined as an option in the roulette preview effect, the jackpot expectation level is increased as the number of options in the roulette preview effect decreases.

(About the preceding suggestion effect)
The preceding suggestion effect is set as an effect that suggests the possibility that the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 will be executed, and suggests the effect specific items of the roulette advance effects R1 to R4. Then, the effect control CPU 65a uses the symbol display device 17 to perform the preceding suggestion effect at the preceding suggestion effect execution timing K1 set between the start of variation of the symbol variation effect by the symbol display device 17 and the roulette advance notification effect execution timing K1. It is configured to execute (display on the display unit 17a). The pre-suggestion staging effect indicates (notifies) that the roulette alert performances R1 to R4 are not executed. It is classified into two types of specific advance notice non-execution suggestion effect (see FIG. 16). Specifically, the specific advance notice suggestion effect is set so that the related effect described later, which suggests the contents of the specific advance notice effect, is performed after the execution effect indicating that the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 are executed is performed. The specific advance notice non-execution suggestion effect is set so that the related effect is not performed after the non-execution effect indicating that the specific advance notice effect is not executed. In the embodiment, although the specific notice suggestion effect is set to a plurality of types different in the effect contents, only one type of the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect is set, but the effect contents are also set for the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect Can be set to different types. In addition, suggesting effect specific items includes not only those that suggest the type and content of the roulette advance notice effect but also those that indicate only a part (the number of options, etc.) that is a feature of the effect.

  In the preceding suggested effects of the embodiment, the pre-presentation is performed in which the character such as a boxer, martial artist, martial artist or the like tries to destroy the glass by a form such as striking, shooting, cutting, etc. It will be. Then, according to the form of the effect after that, it is suggested whether or not the roulette advance notification effects R1 to R4 are executed, and the effect contents of the roulette advance effects R1 to R4 by the related effects executed after the effect later Configured as suggested (see FIG. 17). As a specific example of the pre-effect, there is an effect that a boxer displayed on the display unit 17a performs an operation of turning the screen of the display unit 17a, whereby a crack is inserted in the screen (glass).

(About specific notice suggestion effect)
The above-mentioned specific notice suggestion effect is an indication effect which suggests the execution of roulette notice effects R1 to R4 and the contents of the effect, and the form of the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 can be realized by executing the specific notice suggestion effect. It is possible for the player to recognize whether or not (content) is executed. As the post effects, two types of non-execution effects in which the glass is broken and shattered and scattered, and execution effects in which the glass is separated into a plurality of fragments without scattering are set. Then, in the specific advance notice suggestion effect, after the front effect is executed, an execution effect of separating the glass into a plurality of fragments is set to be executed as a post effect. That is, it is configured to indicate (inform) that the specific advance notice effect is to be executed by the execution effect in which the glass is separated into a plurality of fragments without scattering.

  Further, the specific advance notice suggestion effect is set such that a related effect of sticking a predetermined number of separated pieces to the display unit 17a is performed after the post effect (execution effect). The number of display areas 74 in the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 is suggested by the number of fragments stuck to the display unit 17a in this related effect. That is, as related effects, a first related effect M1 in which eight fragments stick to the display 17a, a second related effect M2 in which four fragments stick to the display 17a, and a third in which two fragments stick to the display 17a Four types of a related effect M3 and a fourth related effect M4 in which one fragment is stuck to the display section 17a are set.

  Next, the transition process from the related effect to the roulette advance effect will be described with reference to FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 12A, when the first related effect M1 in which eight glass fragments stick to the display unit 17a is performed, the process shifts to the first roulette announcement effect R1 and eight in the display unit 17a. While eight display areas 74 are displayed corresponding to pieces of glass of the sheet, each display area 74 displays options according to the type of the effect pattern determined. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the second related effect M2 in which four glass fragments stick to the display unit 17a is executed, the process shifts to the second roulette announcement effect R2 and the display unit 17a While four display areas 74 are displayed corresponding to the four glass fragments, each display area 74 displays options corresponding to the type of the effect pattern determined. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the third related effect M3 in which the two glass fragments stick to the display unit 17a is executed, the process shifts to the third roulette announcement effect R3 and the display unit 17a While two display areas 74 are displayed corresponding to the two glass fragments, each display area 74 displays options according to the type of the effect pattern determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), when the fourth related effect M4 in which a piece of glass fragments adheres to the display section 17a is performed, the process shifts to the fourth roulette announcement effect R4, and the display section 17a One display area 74 is displayed corresponding to a piece of glass of the sheet, and the display area 74 displays options according to the type of the effect pattern determined. In the embodiment, the broken glass (specific display mode) displayed by the related effects M1 to M4 suggests the display mode (form of the display area) of the option in the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4, and the broken screen (specific Both the number of options (display areas) displayed by the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 are suggested by the number of display modes.

(About specific notice non-execution suggestion production)
The specific advance non-execution suggestion effect is an indication effect that indicates (notifies) that the roulette advance notice effect R1 to R4 is not executed, and the roulette advance effect R1 to R4 are executed by the execution of the specific advance non-execution suggestion effect The player can recognize that R4 is not executed. In the specific advance non-execution suggestion effect, the non-execution effect in which the glass is broken into pieces is executed as the post effect, and the non-execution effect in which the glass is broken into pieces is roulette announcement effect (specific notice effect) R1 It is configured to indicate that R4 is not implemented. Then, when the specific advance notice non-execution suggestion effect is executed, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the symbol display device 17 so that the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 are not executed by the symbol display device 17. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as described above, the non-roulette announcement effect pattern for ending the symbol variation effect without executing the roulette announcement effect R1 to R4 is set, and the symbol display device 17 is used in the effect pattern. The specified advance notice non-execution indication effect is specified as the pre-indication effect to be executed, and after the specified advance notice non-execution indication effect is executed, the roulette advance notice effect R1 to R4 is not executed, or the special drawing is out of order It is set so that the symbol combination of the decoration figure which becomes will be stop-displayed (a symbol change production is finished).

(Operation of the embodiment)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described. In the following description, the normal-off effect pattern D1 to the second full rotation reach jackpot effect pattern D14 shown in FIG. 9 may be simply referred to as the effect pattern D1 to the effect pattern D14.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, any of the effect patterns D2 to D14 as an effect pattern for specifying the effect content of the symbol variation effect by the effect control CPU 65a when triggered by the winning of the start winning hole 30, 31. When the symbol is determined, as shown in FIG. 10, the same decoration drawing is stopped and displayed on the left symbol row 26a and the right symbol row 26c on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 after a predetermined time from the start of variation of symbol variation effect Reach indication is displayed. Then, in the reach display state, in the display unit 17a, the preceding suggestion effect is started at the preceding suggestion effect execution timing K2. During the execution of the preceding suggestion effect, the decoration drawing is displayed in a reduced size at a position not overlapping the preceding suggestion effect on the display unit 17a, and the preceding suggestion effect is displayed large at the center of the display unit 17a to attract the attention of the player. It is supposed to get.

  In the preceding suggestion effect, the boxer displayed on the display unit 17a performs an operation of turning the screen of the display unit 17a, and an effect is performed before the screen (glass) is cracked. After that, after the screen (glass) is broken, an effect is performed. When a non-roulette advance notice effect pattern in which the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R1 to R4 is not executed is determined, the non-execution effect in which the glass is broken and shattered in the post effect is executed, and the player It is indicated (notified) that the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R1 to R4 is not executed. On the other hand, when the effect pattern in which the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R1 to R4 is executed is determined, the execution effect is executed in which the glass is separated into a plurality of fragments without scattering in the post effect. It is suggested (notified) that the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R1 to R4 is executed for the player by the execution effect. That is, since it is suggested whether the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 are executed depending on the type of the post effect, it is possible to raise the player's interest in the type of the post effect performed in the reach display state, Can improve. As described above, in the embodiment, after the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 are executed, there is a possibility of shifting to the super reach effect. Therefore, depending on the type of the post effect, the super reach effect is developed. It can be said that whether it is suggested or not, the player's interest in the type of the post effect performed in the reach display state can be further enhanced, and the interest can be improved.

  When the effect pattern in which the first roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R1 is executed is determined as the effect pattern, after the execution effect is executed in the afterward effect, eight fragments are stuck The related effect M1 (see FIG. 12A) is executed. Then, the effect control CPU 65a displays eight display areas 74 corresponding to the number of fragments on the display unit 17a, and displays, in each display area 74, an option specified by the type of the effect pattern determined. The first roulette announcement effect R1 to be executed is executed by the symbol display device 17. Further, in the first roulette announcement effect R1, the effect of sequentially moving the index CU clockwise is repeated, and the index CU is stopped and displayed in the display area 74 in which predetermined options are displayed, The player is informed which option (display area 74) has been determined. That is, when the indicator CU is stopped and displayed at any of “super development”, “butterfly appearance”, “super heat”, or “chance”, the type of the super reach effect of the development destination is informed. In addition, when the effect pattern in which the second roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R2 is executed is determined as the effect pattern, four pieces of fragments stick after the execution effect is executed in the afterward effect 2 The related effect M2 (see FIG. 12 (b)) is executed. Then, the effect control CPU 65a displays four display areas 74 corresponding to the number of fragments on the display unit 17a, and displays, in each display area 74, an option specified by the type of the effect pattern determined. The symbol display device 17 executes the second roulette announcement effect R2 to be performed. In the second roulette preview effect R2, similarly to the first roulette preview effect R1, the effect of sequentially moving the index CU clockwise is repeated, and the index CU is displayed in the display area 74 in which a predetermined option is displayed. By the stop display, the player is notified of which option (display area 74) is determined. That is, when the indicator CU is stopped and displayed at any of “super development”, “butterfly appearance”, “super heat”, or “chance”, the type of the super reach effect of the development destination is informed. In the case where the indicator CU is stopped and displayed as "?" Or "x" in the first roulette preview production R1 and the second roulette preview production R2, it is suggested that the game does not develop into the super reach production.

  In addition, when the effect pattern in which the third roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R3 is executed is determined as the effect pattern, after the execution effect is executed in the post effect, the second fragment is stuck Three related effects M3 (see FIG. 12C) are executed. Then, the effect control CPU 65a displays two display areas 74 corresponding to the number of fragments on the display unit 17a, and displays in each display area 74 an option specified by the type of the effect pattern determined. The third roulette announcement effect R3 to be executed is executed by the symbol display device 17. In the third roulette advance notice effect R3, an effect in which the index CU alternately moves between the two display areas 74 is repeated, and the index CU is stopped and displayed in the display area 74 in which a predetermined option is displayed. The player is informed which option (display area 74) has been determined. That is, when the indicator CU is stopped and displayed as either "super development", "butterfly appearance", or "super heat", the type of the super reach effect of the development destination is informed, and the indicator CU is "full rotation". If it is stopped and displayed, the big hit confirmation is informed. Furthermore, when the effect pattern for which the fourth roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) R4 is executed is determined as the effect pattern, after the execution effect is executed in the later effect, a single piece of fragments stick 4 related effect R4 (see FIG. 12 (d)) is executed. Then, the effect control CPU 65a displays one display area 74 corresponding to the number of fragments on the display unit 17a, and displays the option specified in the type of the effect pattern determined in the display area 74. The symbol display device 17 executes the fourth roulette announcement effect R4 to be performed. The fourth roulette announcement effect R4 is a mode in which only one display area 74 is displayed, and the choice is displayed in the display area 74, so that the type or the big hit of the super reach effect of the development destination is determined by the player Will be informed.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, by executing the specific notice suggestion effects N1 to N4 that indicate the number of options displayed in the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 before the roulette notice effects R1 to R4 are executed. The relevance of the plurality of effects can be enhanced, and the player's interest in the roulette advance announcement effects R1 to R4 can be enhanced, and the interest can be improved. Moreover, since the number of options displayed in the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 is related to the degree of expectation of the big hit display being displayed in the symbol variation effect in which the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 are executed, it is specified It is possible to further improve the interest by attracting interest in the number of options suggested in the preview suggestion effects N1 to N4.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, not only the number of options displayed by the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 but also the form (fragment) of the display area 74 in which the options are displayed In this case, it is possible to clarify the relationship between the specific advance notice suggestion effects N1 to N4 and the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 to be executed thereafter. Can further raise their interest.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the preceding suggestion effect, an execution effect indicating that the roulette noticing effect R1 to R4 is to be executed is executed, and a roulette noticing effect R1 to R4 is executed Either a specific advance non-execution suggestion effect is performed in which a non-execution effect suggesting not to be performed is performed. And, since this execution effect is performed prior to the related effects M1 to M4 indicating the number of options in the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 and the display mode, the interest for the related effects M1 to M4 can be raised to improve the interest . That is, the related effects M1 to M4 and the roulette advance notice effects R1 to R4 are not suddenly started, but by performing predictive effects in advance, interest in the subsequent effects can be raised to improve interest in the effects it can.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, in the first to third roulette advance notice effects R1 to R3, the options displayed in the display area 74 displayed in the display area 74 displayed on the display unit 17a of the symbol display device 17 In order to suggest the big hit expected degree corresponding to in the display number of the star-shaped expected degree indication 75 in the expected degree indication production, the level of the big hit expected degree when each option is decided is easy to understand, which option It is possible to increase the player's interest in determining whether That is, a player who is not familiar with the pachinko machine 10 is difficult to understand the highs and lows of the jackpot expectation if the option is displayed only by a simple symbol or letter. However, as in the embodiment, the star-shaped expectation display 75 If the big hit expectation is suggested by the small number of displayed numbers, even players who are not familiar with the pachinko machine 10 can easily recognize the high hit of the big hit expectation, and the first to third roulette notice effects The interest in which option is determined in R1 to R3 can be enhanced to improve the interest of the game. Further, in the embodiment, since the expectation display 75 of the expectation display effect is displayed separately from the display of the option, the expectation display of the expectation display effect 75 is not confused with the option display expectation and display The difference in degree of expectation can be clearly recognized. That is, it is possible to enjoy which option is determined in the first to third roulette advance notice effects R1 to R3 while clearly recognizing the difference in the degree of expectation of a plurality of options, and the interest can be improved. .

  Here, also in the fourth roulette announcement effect R4, when an option is displayed in one display area 74 displayed on the display unit 17a, the first to third roulette announcement effects R1 to R3 are executed. A number of expected degree displays 75 corresponding to the options in the case are displayed. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the fourth roulette announcement production R4 is set as a premium presentation that determines the big hit, so excluding the "full rotation" of the big hit decision that can be displayed in the fourth roulette announcement production R4 Even if any of the types of options ("butterfly appearance" and "super heat") is displayed, the big hit display is displayed in the corresponding symbol variation effect, but the display of the expectation display 75 according to the type of the displayed option A different number can prevent the player from realizing that the big hit has been decided. That is, until the big hit display is finalized, interest in whether or not to be a big hit can improve interest.

(Modification example)
The gaming machine is not limited to the one described above, and various modifications are possible.
(1) In the embodiment, in the related rendition, the number of options and the display form in the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) are suggested, but only one of them may be suggested. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the number of options in the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) is displayed as specific numbers (“8”, “4”, “2”, “1”) in the related effect. Moreover, if the shape of the display area where the option is displayed in the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) is a star shape, a round shape, or any other shape, the display of the corresponding shape is displayed in the related effect Good.
(2) In the embodiment, the effect of destroying glass is used as the preceding suggestion effect, but if it is a form that can indicate the number of options and the display form in the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect), it is another effect form It may be.
(3) In the embodiment, one of two types of effects (execution effect) when the roulette advance notice effect is performed and effects (non-execution effect) when the roulette effect is not performed are performed in the effects after the preceding suggestion effects Although configured as described above, an effect (a high expectation degree effect) may be executed in which a type of roulette advance notice effect of a high hit degree expectation is determined. For example, the first and second roulette preview effects are set as low expectation roulette preview effects (low expectation specific preview effects), and the third and fourth roulette preview effects are high expectation roulette preview effects (high expectation index specification) If high expectation degree effect is performed, which is set as advance notice effect, and the entire display unit turns red in execution effect, high expectation degree roulette notice effect (any of the third or fourth roulette notice effects) as roulette advance notice effect When a low expectation degree effect in which the entire display unit changes to a color other than red is executed while the high expectation degree specified advance notice effect of a certain level is performed, the low expectation degree roulette notice effect (first Alternatively, a configuration may be employed in which any of the low expectation specific notification effects of the second roulette announcement effect is performed.
(4) In the example, although the case where the number of options displayed in the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect) is small has a high hit probability and the high degree of expectation is high, the big hit expectation is high when the number of options is large It may be set as such.
(5) In the embodiment, depending on the option displayed in the roulette advance notice effect (specific advance notice effect), the type of super reach effect (development effect) and the big hit display (hit display) is displayed in the symbol change effect Although the expectation level is suggested, the option displayed in the roulette advance notice effect may indicate either the type of super reach effect or the big hit expectation level. It should be noted that the type of super reach effect may be one type, as long as it is a configuration that only suggests the big hit expectation by the option displayed in the roulette advance notice effect, and the roulette may be developed even in the same super reach effect. Different jackpot options can suggest different jackpot expectations. In addition, in a configuration provided with a plurality of types of super reach effects, instead of developing into a type of super reach effect corresponding to the option determined by the roulette advance effect effect, developing into a type of super reach effect determined by lottery It may be

(6) In the embodiment, the expected degree display effect is displayed by the number of star-shaped displays, but, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which display is performed according to the size of the display area (area) in which options are displayed. That is, displaying options with a high jackpot expectation in a wide area display area, while displaying options with a low jackpot expectation in a narrow area display area, suggests the level of the big hit expectation at a glance. it can. In addition, when the same option is configured to be displayed in a plurality of display areas, the size of the total area of the display area in which the same option is displayed indicates the level of the big hit expectation, or the same option is displayed. The number of jackpots may indicate the level of the jackpot expectation. Furthermore, as the expectation degree display effect is represented by the display color of the display area displayed in the option, the difference in the display color can also indicate the level of the big hit expectation degree. For example, the big hit expectation is set to be higher in the order of white, blue, yellow, green and red, and the display color of the display area is set as the display color corresponding to the big hit expectation of the option displayed in the display area. Just do it.
(7) In the embodiment, the option and the expectation display effect (the number of displayed stars) are separately displayed, but as described in the above (6), the display color is intended to indicate the level of the big hit expectation The big hit expectation may be suggested by the difference in the display color representing the option itself.
(8) The type of roulette preview effect shown in the embodiment, and the type and number of options displayed in the roulette preview effect are merely examples, and the type and number can be set arbitrarily.

(9) In the roulette preview production in the embodiment, the display area corresponding to the type of super reach production (development production) determined by the internal lottery is indicated by the index, but the roulette preview production is combined with the button preview production and the composite It may be configured. The button preview effect displays the image imitating the operation button of the pachinko machine and displays a character string such as “PSUH” indicating that the button is pressed on the display unit of the symbol display device. Perform an instruction to press the operation button. Then, according to the execution timing of the roulette advance presentation effect, the effect control CPU sets an effective period for receiving the pressing signal of the operation button, and receives the pressing signal output by pressing the operation button during the effective period. To configure. Then, the effect control CPU (effect control means) is determined by an internal lottery after an effect of reducing the speed of the index moving in the display area is triggered by the input of the pressing signal from the operation button during the effective period. The player is made to recognize the type of super reach effect (development effect) determined by stopping and displaying the index in the display area corresponding to the type of the super reach effect (development effect). As described above, by combining the roulette advance notice effect and the button advance notice effect, it is possible to make the player participate in the game and improve the interest.

(10) In the embodiment, the first roulette preview effect and the second roulette preview effect are not executed in the full rotation reach jackpot effect partan, but the first roulette notice effect with an extremely low probability also in the full rotation reach jackpot effect partan The second roulette announcement effect can be configured to be executable. As described above, by displaying the options that all turn reach big hit effects may be executed in all types of roulette advance notice effects, the configuration in which the number of options is small as in the example has a higher hit probability. In the case where “full rotation” is selected in the roulette advance presentation effect with many options with low jackpot expectation, it is possible to give the player a very big surprise and a feeling of premium.
(11) In the embodiment, when the non roulette advance notice effect pattern is selected as the effect pattern, the specific notice non-execution suggestive effect is executed as the preceding suggestion effect, but whether or not the roulette advance notice effect can be performed and the type When it is decided using the random number and the judgment value and it is decided not to execute, the specific advance notice non-execution indication effect is executed as the previous indication effect, and when it is determined to be executed, the previous indication effect is It is also possible to execute a specific advance notice execution indication effect according to the type of roulette advance effect of the type determined as. For example, in the effect control CPU, when a control command specifying each fluctuation pattern is input, the notice effect is determined from a plurality of kinds of notice effects including the roulette notice effect, and the roulette notice effect is determined. In the case where it is determined, the specific notice execution suggestion effect may be executed, and when the other type of notice effect is determined, the specific notice non-execution suggestion effect may be performed. With this configuration, it is possible to continuously display the effect without changing the fluctuation time due to the execution or non-execution of the roulette advance notice effect with respect to the fluctuation pattern of the same fluctuation time. That is, it is not necessary to set different fluctuation patterns of fluctuation time corresponding to the case where the roulette advance notice effect is performed and the case where it is not performed, which can contribute to the capacity reduction of the main control ROM (storage means). In addition, it is also possible to set a fluctuation pattern of fluctuation time specifying execution of roulette advance notice effects and a fluctuation pattern of fluctuation time specifying not performing roulette advance notice effects. Although the capacity of the means) increases, the control processing in the effect control CPU can be omitted.

(12) In the embodiment, the timing when the preceding suggestion effect and the roulette preceding notice effect are executed is described as being common to each variation pattern, but a plurality of the preceding suggestion effect execution timing and the roulette noticing effect execution timing are set, A configuration may be adopted in which the execution timing is determined from a plurality of types by execution timing lottery using random numbers and determination values. In addition, the types (R1 to R4) of roulette preview effects that can be executed can be made different or the determination probability can be made different at each of a plurality of types of roulette preview effect execution timings. As described above, even when the timing at which the roulette preview effect is executed is different, since the type of the roulette preview effect to be executed is random, as in the embodiment, the big hit or the disconnection is estimated depending on the execution timing. Can be performed with a variety of effects.
(13) The timing at which the preceding suggestion effect and the roulette advance notice effect are executed may be set for each variation pattern instead of the configuration determined by lottery, and in this case, the execution timing lottery Processing can be omitted.
(14) In the embodiment, in the lottery of the type of roulette advance notice effect, the determination probability of the type of roulette advance notice effect which differs in the number of options according to the type of fluctuation pattern (expected degree) The determination probability of the roulette advance presentation effect may be the same. That is, even when the determination probability of each roulette preview effect is made the same, since the big hit expectation degree of each type of roulette preview effect depends on the expectation degree of the fluctuation pattern, if the big hit expectation degree differs depending on each type of roulette preview effect You can
(15) In the embodiment, in the lottery of the type of roulette advance notice effect, the determination probability of the type of roulette advance notice effect different in the number of options according to the type of fluctuation pattern (high or low of expectation) is configured different The determination probability of each type of roulette advance notice effect may be changed according to the type (type of special view) of the game (hit game). For example, when winning a big hit game which is advantageous to a player who gives a definite change state or a change short state after a big hit game, a roulette announcement effect of a type with few (or many) options is likely to be determined. In the case of winning a big hit game that does not give a variable state after a big hit game, it is possible to adopt a configuration that makes it easy to determine the type of roulette announcement effect with many options (or less).
