At step 1510, the main CPU 101 stores the current gaming state in the gaming state buffer as the gaming state at the start of fluctuation. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1511.
At step 1511, the main CPU 101 sets “11” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol variation stop processing is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the normal symbol variation start process is ended.

Next, the normal symbol fluctuation stop processing in step 1402 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.
At step 1600, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing execution phase data is data "11" indicating execution of a normal symbol variation stop process. Then, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "11", the normal symbol variation stop process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is “11”, the process proceeds to the next step 1601.
At step 1601, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the fluctuation time of the normal symbol set in the common drawing fluctuation time timer counter at step 1508 has passed. When it is determined that the fluctuation time has not elapsed, the normal symbol fluctuation stop process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the fluctuation time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1602.

At step 1602, the main CPU 101 sets stop display data for stopping the normal symbol display on the normal symbol display device 32, and executes the normal symbol stop display. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1603.
At step 1603, the main CPU 101 sets a stop display time for stopping and displaying the normal symbol in the common drawing stop display time counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1604.

  At step 1604, the main CPU 101 sets “12” to the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol stop post process is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the normal symbol variation stop process is ended.

Next, the normal symbol stop post-processing in step 1403 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.
At step 1700, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing execution phase data is data "12" indicating execution of a normal symbol stop post process. Then, if it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "12", the normal symbol stop post-processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is "12", the process proceeds to the next step 1701.
At step 1701, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the stop display time set in the drawing stop display time counter at step 1603 described above has elapsed. And when it is determined that the stop display time has not elapsed, the normal symbol stop post-processing is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the stop display time has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1702.

At step 1702, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the normal symbol stopped and displayed is a hit symbol. When it is determined that the normal symbol being stopped and displayed is a hit symbol, the process proceeds to the next step 1703. On the other hand, when it is determined that the normal symbol being stopped and displayed is not a hit symbol (ie, it is a lost symbol), the process proceeds to step 1704.
In step 1703, the main CPU 101 sets “13” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the movable piece control processing is executed in the common drawing related control processing. And normal pattern stop post-processing ends.

  In addition, the main CPU 101 starts the normal symbol fluctuation start in the common pattern related control processing in the step 1704 which proceeds when it is determined that the normal symbol stopped and displayed in the above step 1702 is hit and not determined (that is, it is a lost symbol). In order to execute the process, "10" is set in the common drawing execution phase data. And normal pattern stop post-processing ends.

Next, the movable piece control process of step 1404 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
At step 1800, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the common drawing execution phase data is data "13" indicating execution of the movable piece control process. When it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is not "13", the movable piece control process is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the common drawing execution phase data is "13", the process proceeds to the next step 1801.
At step 1801, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the movable piece 16 b is in operation control, that is, whether or not the start winning hole solenoid 16 c is energized. If it is determined that the movable piece 16b is in operation control, the process proceeds to step 1804. On the other hand, when it is determined that the movable piece 16b is not in operation control, the process proceeds to the next step 1802.

In step 1802, the main CPU 101 confirms whether the gaming state at the start of variation of the normal symbol is either the non-time-short game state or the time-short game state. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1803.
In step 1803, the main CPU 101 refers to the second start winning opening open control table 120, and according to the gaming state confirmed in step 1802 described above, performs energization as energization control data (open data) of the start winning opening solenoid 16c. Set the number of times (opening number) and energization time (opening time). Then, the movable piece control process ends.

Further, in step 1804, which is performed when it is determined in step 1801 that the movable piece 16b is under operation control, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not the energization time (opening time) set in step 1803 described above has elapsed. Determine Then, when it is determined that the current application time (opening time) has not elapsed, the movable piece control process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the energization time (opening time) has elapsed, the process proceeds to the next step 1805.
At step 1805, the main CPU 101 executes the stop of the operation of the movable piece 16b, that is, the stop of the energization of the start winning hole solenoid 16c. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 1806.

  At step 1806, the main CPU 101 sets “10” in the common drawing execution phase data so that the normal symbol variation start process is executed in the common drawing related control processing. Then, the movable piece control process ends.

Can.
In the following, the outline of setting of the customization content determination information performed by the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the outline of the fluctuation effect and the notice effect performed by the pachinko machine P, and the outline of the provision of points are described.

(Summary of setting of customization content determination information)
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, from when the predetermined start operation is performed to when the predetermined end operation is performed, the pachinko machine P is always performing except during the execution of the predetermined effect using the second sub effect display device 25 The second sub effect display device 25 displays the in-game menu screen. In addition, since the predetermined operation by the effect operation device 9 is always effective except during the above-mentioned effect, the player performs setting of the customization content determination information except during the above-mentioned effect It can be done.
Specifically, the sub CPU 301 is acquired based on the password issued from the server SV via the information terminal device T and stored in a predetermined storage area of the sub RAM 303 in response to a predetermined start operation being performed. While acquiring the points, character card information, customization content determination information and the like, the in-game menu screen is displayed on the second sub effect display device 25 (see FIG. 43A).
On this in-game menu screen, by performing a selection operation by the effect operating device 9, "effect customization setting" for setting customization content determination information, and "game for displaying accumulated game history information" Each function such as “display history” and “end of use” for ending the use of the gaming system S can be executed (see FIG. 43A).
In addition, the sub CPU 301 is based on the acquired points and the customization content determination information, on the during-game menu screen, the game level at the current time, the points necessary to increase to the next game level, the customization content determination information currently set (Composition of a character card), display the customization content of the effect according to the customization content determination information (see FIG. 43 (a)).
The functions that can be executed on the in-game menu screen and the contents to be displayed are not limited to these, and for example, the volume setting for setting the volume output by the pachinko machine P, and the explanation of various operations are displayed. It may be possible to execute functions such as operation instructions for the user. In addition, display related to these may be performed.

Then, when "production customization setting" is selected on the in-game menu screen, the sub CPU 301 displays a setting screen for setting customization content determination information on the second sub presentation display device 25 (see FIG. 43 (b)). ).
In addition, the sub CPU 301 displays a list of character cards owned by the player (that is, stored character cards) on the setting screen described above based on the acquired information of the character card. Then, on the setting screen, the player performs a predetermined operation using the effect operation device 9 to select a character card of any one display mode for each display character from among the owned character cards. (See FIG. 43 (b)).

For example, when three display characters of character A (princess), character B (waitress), and character C (idol) are selected in advance to customize the effect, the game with pachinko machine P Along with this, character cards of three kinds of display modes (normal, rare, super rare) in these display characters are given. Then, on the setting screen described above, a list of character cards for the character A, the character B, and the character C owned by the player is displayed (see FIG. 43B).
Then, on the setting screen described above, a character card combination is selected by selecting a character card of any one display mode for each of character A, character B and character C from the displayed character cards. When the predetermined determination operation is performed, the sub CPU 301 stores the combination of the character cards in a predetermined storage area of the sub RAM 303. Thereby, the customization content determination information is updated (set), and thereafter, the sub CPU 301 executes the effect with the customization content according to the updated customization content determination information.

Here, as described above, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, the setting of customization content determination information can always be performed except during execution of a predetermined effect using the second sub effect display device 25. It has become. Therefore, the setting of the customization content determination information is performed not only when the fluctuation effect is not executed in the main effect display device 21 (that is, in the standby state) but also when the fluctuation effect is executed in the main effect display device 21. It may be done.
Therefore, the sub CPU 301 in the present embodiment determines the customization content determination information at the time when the confirmation operation is performed when the above-described confirmation operation is performed when the change effect is not performed in the main effect display device 21. Is updated, but when the above-mentioned setting operation is performed when the fluctuation effect is being executed in the main effect display device 21, the customization content determination information is updated when the fluctuation effect being executed is ended. Do. As a result, from the next variation presentation, presentation can be executed with customization contents according to the updated customization contents determination information.

(Summary of customized contents of the presentation)
As described above, the sub CPU 301 executes the effect with the customization content according to the customization content determination information stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub RAM 303.
As shown in FIG. 44, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 stores a customization content determination table 121 in which customization content of the rendering according to the customization content determination information is defined. Specifically, in the customization content determination table 121, the customization content of the effect and the customization command are defined in association with the card combination pattern in which one display mode for each display character is combined.
Then, in the case of executing the effect to be described later, the sub CPU 301 acquires the customization content and the customization command based on the customization content determination information and the customization content determination table 121 stored in the storage area described above, The execution of the presentation is controlled based on the content and the customization command.

  Hereinafter, the customization content of the effects defined in the customization content determination table 121 will be described. Here, as shown in FIG. 44, it is determined in association with the card combination pattern of character A, character B and character C. Only the contents of customization of the effects are described, and the description of the others is omitted. Regarding the character card of Character A, the card of display mode "Normal" is called "Card A1", the card of display mode "Rea" is called "Card A2", and the card of display mode "Super Rare" is called "Card A3". Do. In addition, with regard to the character card of Character B, the card of display mode "normal" is called "card B1", the card of display mode "rare" is called "card B2", and the card of display mode "super rare" is called "card B3" Do. Similarly, for the character card of character C, the card of display mode "normal" is called "card C1", the card of display mode "rare" is called "card C2", and the card of display mode "super rare" is called "card C3" I assume.

For example, as shown in FIG. 44, according to the customization content determination table 121, when the card combination pattern of card A2, card B1, card C1 is stored as customization content determination information, the reach variation pattern to be described later In the case where customization is performed such that the "reach" voice output at the time of execution of is changed to the voice color corresponding to character A, and a card combination pattern of card A1, card B2, card C1 is stored, If the customization that the above-mentioned "reach" voice is changed to the voice color corresponding to the character B is executed, and the card combination pattern of the card A1, the card B1, and the card C2 is stored, the above-mentioned "reach The voice turns into a voice corresponding to character C Customization that is is executed.
In addition, when the card combination pattern of card A2, card B2 and card C1 is stored as the customization content determination information, customization is performed such that the points given at the time of execution of the effect of the predetermined mode are doubled. Also, when the card combination pattern of card A1, card B2 and card C2 is stored, customization is performed such that the points given at the time of rendering of the predetermined mode are tripled, and card A3 In the case where the card combination pattern of cards B3 and C3 is stored, customization is performed such that points to be awarded when rendering in a predetermined manner are multiplied by five.
In addition, when the card combination pattern of card A2, card B1 and card C2 is stored as the customization content determination information, there is a probability that a predetermined notice effect (notice effect A2, notice effect B2) described later is executed. The customization of uploading is performed.
Furthermore, when the card combination pattern of card A2, card B2 and card C2 is stored as the customized content determination information, the probability that the character card of the display mode is "rare" or "super rare" is increased. Customization is performed.

The customized content of the effect is not limited to these, and the execution probability of the effect of the predetermined aspect to which a predetermined character is displayed at the time of execution of a predetermined effect, and the point given is increased It is also possible to define such things as
Also, customization based on the signal of the date and time input from the RTC 304 of the sub control board 300 (for example, the one that a special character or moving image is displayed when a predetermined effect is performed during a predetermined period, a predetermined During the period, it is also possible to determine the execution probability of a predetermined effect and the one in which the points to be awarded increase.
It is also possible to define customizations linked to the services available on the above mentioned website. For example, on the above-mentioned web site, a service that performs a popular vote of characters appearing in the direction of the pachinko machine P using special points given by the pachinko machine P executing a specific effect If it has become possible to receive an award, it is possible to define such a thing as the special point to be given up as the customization content of the effect.

(Summary of fluctuation production)
The variation effect executed by the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment is a reach indication variation in which reach display by the effect pattern 50 (display in which the two effect symbols 50 stop-displayed first become the same symbol (aspect)) is not made It is divided roughly into a pattern and the reach change pattern in which the reach display by the production | presentation pattern 50 is made.
In this variation effect, variation display of the effect pattern 50 (dummy symbol) is performed on the background image displayed on the main effect display device 21. Then, the player is notified of the result of the jackpot lottery by the combination (stop display mode) of the effect symbols 50 stopped and displayed after being variably displayed.

Specifically, with the start of the variation display of the special symbol, the variation display of all the presentation symbols 50 is started from the state in which all the presentation symbols 50 are stopped and displayed (FIGS. 45 (a) and (b), 46 (a) and (b) reference). The downward arrow in the figure indicates that the effect pattern 50 is displayed to scroll downward from above.
After that, the effect symbol 50 (hereinafter referred to as the first stop symbol) located on the left side, the effect symbol 50 located on the right side (hereinafter referred to as the second stop symbol), the effect symbol 50 located in the center (hereinafter the third stop symbol The stop display is made in the order of) (see Fig. 45 (c) to (e), Fig. 46 (c) to (e) etc.), but in the no reach variation pattern, the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are The stop display is performed with a different symbol (see FIG. 45 (d)), and in the reach variation pattern, the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are stopped and displayed with the same symbol (see FIG. 46 (d)).

Then, when the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, all the production symbols 50 are stopped and displayed with the same symbol (see FIG. 46 (e)). That is, by displaying stopped all the production symbols 50 with the same symbol, it is informed that the result of the jackpot lottery is the jackpot.
On the other hand, when the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss, all of the effect pattern 50 is not stopped and displayed with the same symbol (see FIG. 43 (e)). That is, when at least one of the rendering symbols 50 is stopped and displayed with a symbol different from that of the other rendering symbols 50, it is notified that the result of the jackpot lottery is a loss.

  In addition, the third stop symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31 at a stop substantially simultaneously with the stop display of the special symbol. As a result, prior to the stop display of the effect pattern 50, the special symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display device 30 or the second special symbol display device 31, and the result of the jackpot lottery is grasped by the type of the special symbol To prevent it from

Moreover, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, normal reach, special reach A, special reach B and special reach C are provided as reach variation patterns.
The normal reach is a reach variation pattern in which the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are simply stopped and displayed with the same symbol without any particular change in the way of variation or the display content of the effect symbol 50 (see FIG. 46). ).

In addition, special reach A, special reach B and special reach C are all the production design pattern 5
The effect of the aspect of resuming the variable display after the temporary stop in 0 (that is, the first stop symbol, the second stop symbol, the third stop symbol) in the predetermined stop display mode is performed a predetermined number of times, and thereafter the reach display It is a reach change pattern (so-called pseudo ream) that is performed (see FIG. 47). Specifically, the special reach A performs an effect of resuming the variable display once after temporary stop, and the special reach B performs an effect of the aspect twice. C is to perform the effect of the aspect three times.
In addition, a reach change pattern is not limited to these, The method of change, the display content of the production | presentation pattern 50, etc. can be set variously.
Further, as described later, when identification information is input (a game is being played using the gaming system S), predetermined points are awarded when the special reach C is executed. It is supposed to be.

  Further, as described above, when the card combination pattern of the card A2, the card B1, and the card C1 is stored as the customization content determination information, the character A is displayed when the reach display is performed by the above-described reach fluctuation pattern. The "reach" voice is output in the corresponding voice color. In addition, when the card combination pattern of card A1, card B2 and card C1 is stored as the customization content determination information, when the reach display is performed by the above-described reach fluctuation pattern, the voice color corresponding to character B is used. A "reach" voice is output. Also, when the card combination pattern of card A1, card B1 and card C2 is stored as the customization content determination information, the voice color corresponding to character C is displayed in the reach display by the above-mentioned reach fluctuation pattern. A "reach" voice is output.

Furthermore, when the reach display is made according to the above-mentioned reach fluctuation pattern, thereafter, a predetermined development effect image (for example, a moving image in which the effect pattern 50 is destroyed one after another) on the display portion 21a of the main effect display device 21 A reach development effect may be executed in which etc. is displayed (see FIG. 48 (e)).
It is to be noted that such reach development effect is set to have a high possibility of being executed when the jackpot is won, and therefore, the player's sense of expectation is enhanced.

Further, in these effects, in addition to the image display, in addition to the image display, a predetermined BGM or sound may be output from the audio output device 10 (speaker), and the effect illumination device 23 (lamp ) May be emitted in a predetermined lighting pattern or color. Furthermore, in addition to the display of the image on the main effect display device 21, the image may be displayed on the display portion 24a of the first sub effect display device 24 or the display portion 25a of the second sub effect display device 25, or The sub effect display device 24 and the second sub effect display device 25 may be moved in a predetermined manner.
In addition, another image may be displayed by operating the effect operating device 9 (the operation dial 9a, the operation button 9b) within a predetermined period during display of the development effect image.
In the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, from the start of the variable display of the effect pattern 50 to the notification of the presence or absence of the reach display (that is, the second stop symbol is stopped or the reach display is made predetermined) Until the moving image is displayed corresponds to the first half of the fluctuation effect, and until the third stop symbol is stopped and displayed after notification of the presence or absence of reach display (that is, until the fluctuation of the effect pattern 50 ends) ) Corresponds to the second half of the fluctuation effect.

(Summary of notice production)
In addition, in the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, in order to increase the player's sense of expectation, during the fluctuation production, an image such as a moving image or a still image different from the production design 50 by overlapping the variable display of the production design 50 or the background image. By displaying the (cut-in image), it is possible to execute an advance notice effect that indicates the degree of expectation for the jackpot winning.

In pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment, as a mode of notice production, notice production A1, notice production A2, notice production B1, notice production B2 and notice production C are provided. The contents of the images displayed in a superimposed manner are different from one another.
Specifically, the notice effect A1 is such that a cut-in image with the characters “CHANCE!” Is displayed superimposed on the variable display of the effect pattern 50 (see FIG. 49 (c)). Further, although not particularly illustrated, the notice effect A2 is a display in which a cut-in image to which a character “CHANCE!” And a predetermined character are added is superimposed on the variable display of the effect pattern 50. In addition, although not particularly shown, the notice effect B1 is a display in which a cut-in image with the letters "Heat!" Is displayed superimposed on the variable display of the effect pattern 50. Further, although not particularly shown, the notice effect B2 is a display in which a cut-in image to which a character "HEATHEAT!" And a predetermined character are added is superimposed on the variable display of the effect pattern 50. In addition, although not particularly shown, the notice effect C is a cut-in image on which the word “excessive heat!” Is added to the variable display of the effect pattern 50.
In addition, the aspect of a preliminary presentation effect is not limited to these, You may provide the aspect etc. by which another character and a character are displayed as a cut-in image.

Further, in the notice effect C, the above-described cut-in image is displayed on the main effect display device 21, and a similar cut-in image is also displayed on the display unit 25a of the second sub effect display device 25. ing. As a result, the player can not visually recognize the use menu screen or the in-game menu screen displayed on the second sub effect display device 25.
In addition, before and after the above-described cut-in image is displayed, the second sub-effect display device 25 can not view the use menu screen or the in-game menu screen displayed on the second sub-effect display device 25 ( In the present embodiment, the display unit 25a is movable to a position facing the back direction). Therefore, the player can not view the utilization menu screen displayed on the second sub effect display device 25 or the in-game menu screen while the movability is being performed.
As described above, since the player can not visually recognize the use menu screen or the in-game menu screen while the preview effect C is being executed, and the operation by the effect operating device 9 is invalidated, the game can be played. The person can not set the customization content determination information.

The above-described advance notice effect is set to have a high possibility of being executed when the jackpot is won, and therefore, the expectation of the player is enhanced.
In addition, regarding these preview presentation effects, the level of the possibility of being executed when the jackpot is won is separately set. That is, the expectation of winning of the jackpot is set to be different for each mode of the preview effect. By doing this, it is possible to change the player's expectation for the jackpot win according to the pattern of the notice effect to be executed.
Further, as described later, in the case where identification information is input (a game is being performed using the gaming system S), predetermined points are determined when the advance notice effect B1 or the advance notice effect B2 is executed. Is to be granted.
Furthermore, as described later, when the notice effect C is executed, a lottery for deciding whether or not to give a character card is performed, and when it is decided to give a character card, a display selected in advance Among the character cards of the character (in the present embodiment, character A, character B, and character C), a card of any display mode (normal, rare, super rare) is given.

(Summary of the determination of the aspect of the change production)
As shown in FIG. 50, the sub ROM 302 of the sub control board 300 stores a fluctuation presentation determination table 122 for determining the form of the first half of the fluctuation presentation.
As shown in FIG. 50, the fluctuation effect determination table 122 includes a fluctuation mode command (variation mode number) that can be received from the main CPU 101 of the main control board 100, and a predetermined numerical range (0 to 249 in this embodiment). A mode (that is, no reach fluctuation pattern) from the start of fluctuating display of the effect pattern 50 until notification of the presence or absence of reach display in association with each effect random number (fluctuation mode determination random number) acquired in the inside Normal reach, special reach A, special reach B or special reach C) are defined.
Then, when the sub CPU 301 of the sub control board 300 receives the fluctuation mode command from the main CPU 101 of the main control board 100, the sub CPU 301 acquires and acquires the fluctuation mode determination random number from the predetermined numerical range (0 to 249). Based on the change mode determination random number and the change effect determination table 122, the mode of the first half of the change effect is determined.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 50, according to the fluctuation effect determination table 122, when the fluctuation mode number corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command is "00H" or "01H", no reach fluctuation The pattern is determined. When the fluctuation mode number corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command is “02H”, the normal reach is determined. Further, when the fluctuation mode number corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command is “03H” or “04H”, any one of the special reach A, the special reach B, and the special reach C is determined. When the fluctuation mode number corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command is “32H”, the normal reach is determined. Also, when the fluctuation mode number corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command is “33H”, either the special reach A or the special reach C is determined. Also, when the fluctuation mode number corresponding to the received fluctuation mode command is "34H", either the special reach B or the special reach C is determined.
Here, in FIG. 50, the number described in each selection area in which the fluctuation mode number corresponding to the fluctuation mode command is associated with the aspect of the first half of the fluctuation effect is the fluctuation mode determination assigned to the selection area The range of the random numbers, that is, the selection ratio of the selected area is indicated.

  Although not particularly illustrated, the sub ROM 302 also stores an effect determination table for determining an aspect of the second half of the variable effect. The effect determination table includes a change pattern number corresponding to a change pattern command that can be received from the main CPU 101 of the main control board 100, and an effect random number (0 to 249 in this embodiment) obtained within a predetermined numerical range. The second half mode determination random number is associated with each other, and the mode (that is, the presence or absence of the reach development effect) from the notification of the presence / absence of the reach display to the stop of the third stop symbol is defined.
