In the present embodiment, when the game ball is detected by the gate sensor SE4, the holding condition of the normal game may be established.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a low probability state and a high probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning a jackpot in the internal lottery (big hit lottery). The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the low probability state. The high probability state is an advantageous state advantageous to the player because the possibility of winning the jackpot lottery is higher than the low probability state. The high probability state is a so-called “probability fluctuation state (probability state)”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as gaming states in which the ratio of the number of award balls to the number of launch balls is different. In the present embodiment, the high base state is a gaming state in which the ball entering rate of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 20 per unit time is improved more than the low base state. That is, in the present embodiment, the high base state is the improvement in ball entry rate, and the low base state is the non-entry rate improvement state. In the present embodiment, the high base state is a so-called "power support state", and the low base state is a so-called "non-power support state". In the high base state, the probability that the gaming ball enters the second starting opening 20 is increased, and the entering of the gaming ball into the second starting opening 20 is facilitated, which is an advantageous gaming state for the player.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by combining a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol fluctuation time reduction control in which the fluctuation time of the normal game is shorter than that in the low base state. The second control is the probability variation control of the normal symbol that changes the probability of winning the normal symbol lottery (normal probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. At this time, the normal hit probability in the low base state may be 0 (zero) or may exceed 0. The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the normally variable member 21 in one normal hit game is longer than in the low base state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, control to increase the number of times of opening of the ordinary variable member 21 in one ordinary hit game more than in the low base state, and one opening of the ordinary variable member 21 in ordinary hit game At least one control may be performed out of the control for making the time longer than in the low base state.

  Also, the high base state may be realized with the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol fluctuation time reduction control that makes the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) shorter than in the low base state. When performing the fluctuation time reduction control of the special symbol, the high base state is a so-called "variation time reduction state".

  In the following description, the gaming state in the low probability state and the low base state is referred to as "low probability low base state", and the gaming state in the high probability state and low base state is referred to as "high probability low base state". In addition, the gaming state in the low probability state and the high base state is referred to as "low probability high base state", and the gaming state in the high probability state and high base state is referred to as "high probability high base state".

Next, the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of big hit symbols as a big hit symbol of a special symbol. The types of jackpots are determined for each of the plural types of jackpot symbols.

  In the jackpot game, a predetermined effect is first performed over a predetermined opening time. In the present embodiment, as a predetermined effect, for example, an opening effect for notifying the start of a big hit game is performed. In the big hit game, after the opening time has elapsed, the round game in which the big winning opening 22 is opened is performed with the upper limit frequency set in advance as the upper limit.

  One round game is ended by establishing a first end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enter or a second end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. In the round game, the big winning opening 22 is opened in a predetermined opening manner. In round games, round effects are performed. And, in the big hit game, when the final round game ends, a predetermined effect is performed over a predetermined ending time. In the present embodiment, as a predetermined effect, for example, an ending effect of notifying the end of the big hit game is performed. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending time.

The big hit of this embodiment includes big hit Za, big hit Zb, and big hit Zc.
In the big hit Za, Zb, high probability high base state is defined as the game state after the big hit game end. Specifically, it is defined that a high probability state and a high base state are given to the big hit Za, Zb until the next big hit game is given after the big hit game is over. In addition, the jackpot Zc has a low probability high base state defined as the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game. Specifically, the big hit Zc is given a big hit game after the big hit game is over, until a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, 100) of special games are ended, or before the upper limit number of special games is ended. It is defined that a high base condition is given until then.

  According to the kind of big hit as described above, in the present embodiment, when the high probability state is given, the high base state is also given. Further, in the present embodiment, in the high probability high base state, when the high base state is ended, the high probability state is also ended. For this reason, in this embodiment, the low probability low base state, the low probability high base state, and the high probability high base state may be obtained, but the high probability low base state is not obtained.

Next, an example of effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
Among the effects that can be performed in the present embodiment, there is an effect pattern variation game in which effect patterns are displayed in a variable manner in the effect display device 18 and a combination of effect symbols is finally derived. In the following description, the effect symbol variation game is abbreviated as “effect game”. The effect pattern is a pattern (decorative pattern) to which a decoration such as a character or a pattern is applied, and is for diversifying the display effect. In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by variably displaying (scrolling) the first, second, and third row symbol rows in a predetermined direction.

  The effect game starts with the start of the special game and ends with the end of the special game. Then, in the effect game, a combination of effect symbols according to the special symbol derived in the special game is derived. When a big hit symbol (big hit display result) is derived in the special game, a big hit symbol combination (big hit display result) by the produced symbol is also derived in the effect game. For example, the big hit design combination by the production design is the design combination where the production design of all lines becomes identical. Further, in the special game, when the misplaced symbol (disappeared display result) is derived, in the effect game, a symbol combination (disappeared displayed result) of disapproval due to the rendered symbol is derived. For example, the symbol combination of the detachment by the production design is a design combination in which the production design of at least a part of the rows is different from that of the other rows.

  The effect game may include reach effect performed in a reach state in which a combination of reach is displayed. With the combination of reach, the same rendering design is derived to a specific row (the first row and the third row in the present embodiment) among a plurality of rows, and the rendering symbols of the remaining rows (the second row in the present embodiment) It is a combination of the production design being changed. In the present embodiment, the reach effect is an effect of informing an expectation (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot anticipation degree) at which a jackpot display result is derived in the effect game in execution. In the present embodiment, the jackpot expectation can be grasped as the ratio of the jackpot in the entire jackpot case to the jackpot expectation. The reach effects in this embodiment include normal reach and super reach performed by developing the contents of normal reach. In the present embodiment, the super reach is an effect of notifying that the jackpot expectation in the effect game in execution is higher than the normal reach. That is, in the present embodiment, the reach effect corresponds to the expectation degree notification effect. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal reach corresponds to a specific execution mode and also corresponds to a low expectation notification effect. And, in the present embodiment, the super reach corresponds to a predetermined execution mode, and also corresponds to a high expectation notification effect. As described above, when the big hit display result is derived in the special game, the big hit display result is derived also in the effect game. For this reason, the jackpot expectation can be grasped also as the expectation with which the jackpot display result is derived in the special game.

  In addition, in the effect game according to the present embodiment, a combination of deviation may be derived without the reach effect being performed. In the following description, the effect content from which a combination of incapacitance is derived without the reach effect being executed is usually referred to as an outlier.

  Further, among the effects that can be performed in the present embodiment, there is a three-dimensional display effect that three-dimensionally displays an image on the effect display device 18. In the present embodiment, the three-dimensional display effect corresponds to a specific effect.

  The three-dimensional display effect is an effect that causes the player to three-dimensionally recognize the image. As a method of causing the player to three-dimensionally recognize an image, for example, a parallax barrier method (parallax barrier method) may be adopted, or a lenticular method may be adopted. Also, other methods may be adopted. In the parallax barrier method, the image for the left eye and the image for the right eye are alternately arranged in the image display device (effect display device 18), and a shield is provided between the image display device and a person (player). By making the images seen by the left and right eyes different from each other, the image can be recognized in three dimensions. In the lenticular method, left and right eyes are alternately arranged by arranging an image for the left eye and an image for the right eye in an image display device, and providing a lens for refracting light between the image display device and a person. This is a method of making an image three-dimensionally recognized by making the images seen in different.

  The stereoscopic display effect of the present embodiment can be performed during the execution of the effect game, and specifically, can be performed during the execution of normal reach or during the execution of super reach. In addition, the stereoscopic display effect of the present embodiment can be performed in any gaming state among the low probability low base state, the low probability high base state, and the high probability high base state.

  Further, among the effects that can be performed in the present embodiment, there is a three-dimensional sound effect that three-dimensionally outputs sound in the speaker Sp. In the present embodiment, the sound output by the three-dimensional sound effect corresponds to a specific sound.

  The three-dimensional sound effect is an effect that causes the player to three-dimensionally recognize the sound. As a method of causing the player to three-dimensionally recognize voices, for example, the same voice is output at different timings or different volume levels by using a plurality of speakers Sp arranged at different positions, or the respective speakers are reversed. The method of outputting the voice of the phase of may be adopted, and other methods may be adopted.

  The three-dimensional sound effects of the present embodiment can be performed during the execution of three-dimensional display effects. That is, the three-dimensional sound effects of the present embodiment can be performed during the execution of the effect game, and can be performed during the execution of the normal reach or the execution of the super reach. In addition, the three-dimensional sound rendition of this embodiment can be executed in any gaming state among the low probability low base state, the low probability high base state, and the high probability high base state.

Further, among the effects that can be performed in the present embodiment, there is an operation effect performed using the effect button BT.
In the operation effect, first, the vibration of the effect button BT is started. Then, in the operation effect, the big hit expectation in the effect game being executed is notified on the occasion that the operation of the effect button BT is performed within the predetermined operation period after the vibration of the effect button BT is started. The notification image is displayed on the effect display device 18. Thereafter, the operation effect ends when the display of the notification image is ended and the vibration of the effect button BT is ended.

  Here, in the present embodiment, an execution condition that allows execution of the operation effect and a restriction condition that restricts the execution of the operation effect will be described. In the present embodiment, to permit the execution of the operation effect corresponds to to allow the vibration of the effect button BT. Further, in the present embodiment, restricting the execution of the operation effect corresponds to not performing the operation effect. In other words, restricting the execution of the operation effect corresponds to restricting the vibration of the effect button BT.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the operation effect can be performed when the gaming state is the low probability high base state or the high probability high base state, while the gaming state is low probability low base state If it is not executed. In the present embodiment, the fact that the gaming state is the low probability high base state or the high probability high base state, that is, the high base state can be grasped as one of the execution conditions of the operation effect. On the other hand, the fact that the gaming state is a low probability low base state can be grasped as one of the control condition of operation effects.

  Further, the operation effect can be performed during execution of the three-dimensional display effect. In other words, while the operation effect can be performed when the three-dimensional display effect is performed, it is not performed when the three-dimensional display effect is not performed. That is, in the present embodiment, the fact that the stereoscopic display effect is executed can be understood as one of the execution conditions of the operation effect, while the fact that the stereoscopic display effect is not executed is understood as one of the control conditions of the operation effect it can.

  Furthermore, even when the stereoscopic effect is executed, the operation effect is not executed when the stereoscopic effect is executed during execution of the normal reach. That is, in the present embodiment, the execution of the normal reach can be grasped as one of the restriction conditions of the operation effect. In other words, the operation presentation can be performed when the 3D presentation presentation is performed during the execution of the super reach. That is, in the present embodiment, the execution of the super reach can be grasped as one of the execution conditions of the operation effect.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the stereoscopic display effect is performed during execution of the super reach, the effect button BT can vibrate during the execution of the stereoscopic display effect. That is, in the present embodiment, the execution of the super reach in the effect game corresponds to the execution of the variation game in a predetermined execution mode, that is, the establishment of a predetermined condition.

  And operation production is started at the timing to which fixed time passed, after stereo sound production is started. That is, in the operation effect, the effect button BT starts vibrating at a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the three-dimensional sound effect.

  In the operation effect, when the operation of the effect button BT is not performed within the operation period after the vibration of the effect button BT is started, the vibration of the effect button BT is ended without the notification image being displayed. . In the present embodiment, the effect button BT continuously vibrates from the start of the vibration of the effect button BT to the operation of the effect button BT or the end of the operation period. The effect button BT may vibrate intermittently between the start of the vibration of the effect button BT and the operation of the effect button BT or the end of the operation period.

Next, various processes (controls) executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 executes various processing such as special symbol input processing and special symbol start processing based on the main control program. The main control CPU 30a executes various processing such as special symbol input processing and special symbol start processing every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms).

First, special symbol input processing will be described.
In the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the gaming ball has entered the first starting opening 19 based on whether the detection signal is input from the first starting sensor SE1. When the game ball enters the first starting opening 19, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) Do. If the first special hold number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a updates the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c by adding 1 to the display, and displays the updated first special hold number The information display unit 17 is controlled to do so. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the number of the first special reserve is less than the upper limit number, the game ball enters the first starting port 19 to establish the reserve condition of the first special game.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number generated in the main control board 30, and causes the main control RAM 30c to store random number information based on the acquired random number. For example, the random number is a random number used for a big hit lottery, a random number used for determining a big hit symbol, a random number used for determining a variation pattern, or the like. At this time, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information such that the random number information for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 30c, it is possible to suspend the execution until the execution condition of the first special game is satisfied. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number according to a predetermined method.

  When the game ball does not enter the first starting opening 19, the first special holding number is not less than the upper limit number, and when the random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, the main The control CPU 30a determines whether the gaming ball has entered the second starting opening 20 based on whether the detection signal is input from the second starting sensor SE2. If the game ball has not entered the second starting opening 20, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the game ball enters the second starting opening 20, whether the main control CPU 30a has the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c smaller than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment) Determine If the second special hold number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when the second special holding number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the second special holding number stored in the main control RAM 30c and updates the second special holding number after the update. The information display unit 17 is controlled to display. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second special reserve number is less than the upper limit number, the game ball enters the second starting opening 20, and the reserve condition of the second special game is established.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the random number generated in the main control board 30, and causes the main control RAM 30c to store random number information based on the acquired random number. At this time, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that the second special game random number information and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, by storing the random number information for the second special game in the main control RAM 30c, the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes the special symbol input processing to execute the special game with the upper limit number as the upper limit triggered by the detection of the gaming ball by the start sensors SE1, SE2. A holding means for holding the

Next, special symbol start processing will be described.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the execution condition of the special game is established. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition is satisfied when it is not in the big hit game and not in the special game, while the execution condition is met in the big hit game or in the special game. It determines that it does not do. And main control CPU30a ends special symbol start processing, when execution conditions are not satisfied.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a acquires the second special suspension number stored in the main control RAM 30c, and determines whether the acquired second special suspension number is greater than 0 (zero). judge. If the second special hold number is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a starts the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special pending number is 0, the first special pending number is acquired, and it is determined whether the acquired first special pending number is larger than 0. If the first special hold number is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a starts the first special game. Thus, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment preferentially executes the second special game without simultaneously executing the first special game and the second special game.

  When the first special holding number and the second special holding number are both 0 (zero), the main control CPU 30a is information indicating that it is in a standby state to wait for the execution of the special game (hereinafter referred to as a standby command) ) Is generated and set in a predetermined output buffer. In the present embodiment, the information (control command) set in the output buffer is output to the sub control board 31 in a predetermined output process.

  When starting the second special game, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the second special holding number to update, and controls the information display unit 17 to display the second special holding number after subtraction.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires, from the main control RAM 30c, the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game. Then, the main control CPU 30a uses the value of the random number specified from the acquired random number information to perform a big hit determination of whether or not a big hit. The big hit judgment corresponds to a big hit lottery whether or not a big hit. For example, the jackpot determination may be performed based on whether or not the value of the random number and the jackpot determination value match. Further, for example, the jackpot determination may be performed based on whether or not a value obtained by adding the value of the random number and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

  When it is determined that the big hit is a big hit in the big hit determination, the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit variation process. In the jackpot variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbol of the special symbol based on the value of the jackpot symbol random number specified from the acquired random number information. This determined jackpot symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the special game. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the big hit fluctuation pattern by performing a fluctuation pattern determination lottery based on the value of the fluctuation pattern random number specified from the acquired random number information. By such a big hit variation process, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that a big hit is made in the big hit determination, a big hit display result is derived in the special game.

  On the other hand, when it is not determined as a big hit in the big hit determination, the main control CPU 30a performs out-of-out variation processing. The main control CPU 30a determines the out-of-order symbol of the special symbol in the out-of-variation process. This determined out-of-design symbol becomes the fixed stop symbol derived in the special game. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the out-of-focus fluctuation pattern by performing the fluctuation pattern determination lottery based on the value of the fluctuation pattern random number specified from the acquired random number information.

  In addition, when starting the first special game, the main control CPU 30a performs the same control as the control relating to the second special game described above for the first special game. That is, the main control CPU 30a performs the jackpot fluctuation process or the deviation fluctuation process based on the result of the first special suspension number subtraction, the jackpot determination, and the jackpot determination. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes the special symbol start process, thereby realizing hit determination means for making a big hit determination triggered by the detection of the game ball by the start sensors SE1 and SE2. Ru.

  Then, when the special symbol start process is ended, the main control CPU 30a executes the special game by performing a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the information display unit 17 so as to start the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets, in the output buffer, information (hereinafter referred to as a special symbol designation command) for specifying the special symbol decided in the special symbol start process. Further, the main control CPU 30a designates a variation pattern and sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a variation pattern designation command) instructing the start of the effect game in the output buffer. Moreover, main control CPU30a measures the fluctuation time defined in the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. And main control CPU30a controls the information display part 17 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process may be derived | led-out, when the fluctuation time defined by the fluctuation pattern passes. In addition, the main control CPU 30a, when the fluctuation time defined in the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed, to the output buffer information (hereinafter referred to as all symbol stop command) for deriving a combination of effect symbols Set

Next, the big hit process performed by the main control CPU 30a will be described.
In the big hit process, the main control CPU 30a identifies the type of big hit game based on the big hit symbol (ie, the type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, after the end of the special game of the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts control to grant the specified big hit game, and outputs predetermined control information. That is, the main control CPU 30a gives a big hit game by executing the big hit process.

  When the big game special game ends, the main control CPU 30a first starts measuring the opening time, and sets information (hereinafter referred to as an opening command) instructing execution of the opening effect in the output buffer. When the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 30a performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the second actuator A2 to open the big winning opening 22 in accordance with the opening mode (opening pattern) set to the big hit game, and starts the round game. After starting the round game, when the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a controls the second actuator A2 so that the big winning opening 22 is closed, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 30a repeatedly performs the processing for executing such a round game until the round game of the upper limit number determined for the big hit game is ended. Further, every time the round game is started, the main control CPU 30a sets information (hereinafter, referred to as a round command) instructing execution of a round effect in an output buffer. When the final round game is over, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the ending time, and sets information (hereinafter referred to as an ending command) instructing execution of ending effect in the output buffer. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  Next, processing relating to the gaming state performed by the main control CPU 30a will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a executes processing relating to the gaming state to implement gaming state control means for controlling the gaming state.

  When a big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a sets a value capable of specifying control in the low probability state in the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 30c and controls the base state in the low base state. Is set in the base state flag stored in the main control RAM 30c. That is, when the big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 30a controls to the low probability low base state.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a specifies the gaming state to be awarded after the end of the big hit game, based on the big hit symbol (ie, the type of big hit) determined in the special symbol start process. When the main control CPU 30a specifies the provision of the low probability state, when ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a sets a value capable of specifying control to the low probability state in the probability state flag. In addition, when the main control CPU 30a identifies giving of the high probability state, when ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a sets a value capable of specifying control to the high probability state in the probability state flag. Furthermore, when the main control CPU 30a specifies the provision of the high base state, when ending the big hit game, the main control CPU 30a sets a value capable of specifying control to the high base state in the base state flag. As described above, in the present embodiment, the high base state is awarded after the end of the big hit game, regardless of which big hit symbol is determined.

  In addition, when the main control CPU 30a specifies the application of the high base state for which the upper limit number of times has been determined, the main control CPU 30a stores the number of times corresponding to the upper limit number in the main control RAM 30c as the remaining number of special games for which the high base state is provided.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a subtracts one from the remaining number stored in the main control RAM 30c each time the special game is executed. When the remaining number becomes 0, the main control CPU 30a sets a value capable of specifying control to be in the low base state in the base state flag in accordance with the end of the special game in which the remaining number becomes 0.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a generates control information capable of specifying a gaming state as control information. For example, when the gaming state is set to the low probability state and the low base state, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 1 designation command (gaming state information) that can specify the gaming state. Further, when the gaming state is set to the low probability state and the high base state, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 2 designation command (gaming state information) capable of specifying the gaming state. Furthermore, when the gaming state is set to the high probability state and the high base state, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 3 designation command (gaming state information) that can specify the gaming state. Note that, as described above, in the present embodiment, control is not performed to the high probability low base state.

  Then, the various control information generated is output to the sub control board 31 (sub control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing. For example, when the gaming state after the end of the big hit game is set to the high probability high base state, the state 3 designation command is output to the sub control CPU 31a along with the end of the big hit game. The gaming state information is not limited to the illustrated control information, and is set for each gaming state that needs to be recognized by the sub control CPU 31a.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a performs the processing described below in addition to the processing described above. For example, the main control CPU 30a also performs processing relating to a normal symbol, processing relating to an error, and the like. In the processing relating to the normal symbol, processing for inputting a detection signal from the gate sensor SE4, processing for starting a normal symbol variation game, and the like are performed.

  Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 will be described based on the sub control program. When the sub control CPU 31a receives a control signal from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a executes various processes in accordance with the control signal.

First, the effect symbol variation process for executing the effect game will be described.
In the effect symbol variation process, when the special control symbol designation command is input, the sub control CPU 31a determines a combination of effect symbols to be derived in the effect game based on the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. When the jackpot symbol of the special symbol is designated, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the combination of the jackpot by the effect symbol. In addition, when the out-of-hand symbol of the special symbol is designated, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the combination of the effect symbols to be derived in the effect game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern specification command is input, the sub control CPU 31a specifies the effect content of the effect game based on the fluctuation pattern specified by the input fluctuation pattern specification command. Then, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 18 so that the effect game is displayed with the specified effect content. Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 31a specifies a normal deviation as the effect content of the effect game based on the designated fluctuation pattern, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the effect game such that the effect game is displayed with the effect content of the normal deviation. Control. If the sub-control CPU 31a specifies the effect content to execute the normal reach as the effect content of the effect game based on the designated fluctuation pattern, the effect display device 18 is displayed such that the effect game is displayed with the effect content to execute the normal reach. Control. Then, when the sub control CPU 31a specifies the content to execute super reach after executing normal reach as the effect content of the effect game based on the designated variation pattern, the effect content to execute super reach after executing normal reach The effect display device 18 is controlled so that the effect game is displayed.

  Thereafter, triggered by the input of the all symbol stop command, the sub control CPU 31a terminates the effect game and controls the display content of the effect display device 18 so as to derive a combination of effect symbols. The sub-control CPU 31a counts the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern designated by the input of the fluctuation pattern designation command, and terminates the effect game when the fluctuation time has elapsed. May be That is, the termination of the effect game may be controlled without outputting the full symbol stop command from the main control board 30.

Next, the process regarding the big hit game will be described.
When the sub control CPU 31a receives the opening command, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 18 so as to perform the opening effect. Further, when a round command is input, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 18 so as to perform a round effect. In addition, when the ending command is input, the sub control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 18 so as to perform the ending effect.

Hereinafter, control for causing various effects in the present embodiment will be described.
First, control for causing a stereoscopic display effect to be performed will be described.
If sub-control CPU 31a specifies that reach effect is to be executed based on the input fluctuation pattern designation command, sub-control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute stereoscopic display effect, and when to execute the stereoscopic display effect. Make a 3D display lottery. Specifically, in the three-dimensional display lottery, the sub control CPU 31a acquires a predetermined random number, and the value of the acquired random number matches the determination value for the three-dimensional display lottery stored in the sub control ROM 31b, It is determined whether or not to execute the stereoscopic display effect, and the execution timing when executing the stereoscopic display effect. In the present embodiment, the three-dimensional display effect can be performed even when controlled to any of the gaming states of the low probability low base state, the low probability high base state, and the high probability high base state.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the stereoscopic display effect can be performed during execution of normal reach or during execution of super reach. Further, in the present embodiment, when it is specified that the reach effect is not performed based on the input fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub control CPU 31a does not execute the stereoscopic display effect. At this time, the sub control CPU 31a may always determine non-execution of the three-dimensional display effect in the three-dimensional display lottery, or may not execute the three-dimensional display lottery itself.

  In the present embodiment, when the stereoscopic display effect is executed, the determination value for the stereoscopic display lottery is distributed such that the jackpot anticipation to be notified is higher than when the stereoscopic display effect is not executed. Here, in order to increase the jackpot expectation when the stereoscopic display effect is executed, the decision ratio when the jackpot fluctuation pattern is specified in the entire decision ratio at which the stereoscopic display effect is determined is increased. Thus, it is preferable to distribute the determination values for the three-dimensional display lottery.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the stereoscopic effect is performed during the execution of the super reach, the jackpot anticipation to be notified is higher than when the stereoscopic effect is performed during the execution of the normal reach. The judgment values for the three-dimensional display lottery are distributed. Here, in order to increase the jackpot expectation when the stereoscopic display effect is executed at a predetermined timing, the jackpot fluctuation pattern in the entire determination ratio at which the predetermined timing is determined as the execution timing of the stereoscopic display effect is specified It is preferable to distribute the determination values for the three-dimensional display lottery so that the determination ratio at the time of being taken becomes high.

  Then, if it is determined that the stereoscopic display effect is to be executed by the stereoscopic display lottery, the sub control CPU 31a performs control based on the determined content. Specifically, when it is determined to execute the stereoscopic display effect, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to execute a stereoscopic display. Thereafter, the sub control CPU 31a ends the stereoscopic display effect by controlling the effect display device 18 so as to end the stereoscopic display.

Next, control for causing a three-dimensional sound effect to be performed will be described.
The sub control CPU 31a controls the speaker Sp so as to execute a three-dimensional sound effect along with the execution of the three-dimensional display effect. That is, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the speaker Sp so as to output the sound three-dimensionally with the start of the three-dimensional display effect and to end the three-dimensional output of the sound as the three-dimensional display effect ends. That is, in the present embodiment, the stereophonic sound effect is started with the start of the stereoscopic display effect, and is ended with the end of the stereoscopic display effect. In the present embodiment, the control for causing the sub control CPU 31a to perform stereophonic sound effects corresponds to specific output control that causes the speaker Sp to output a specific sound.

Next, control for executing the operation effect will be described.
When the sub control CPU 31a determines the execution of the three-dimensional display effect and the three-dimensional sound effect, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute the operation effect along with the three-dimensional display effect and the three-dimensional sound effect. Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 31a determines that the current gaming state is the low probability high base state or the high probability high base state and it is determined to execute the stereoscopic display effect during the execution of the super reach, the operation effect is Perform an operation effect lottery to determine whether or not to execute. In the operation effect lottery, the sub control CPU 31a acquires a predetermined random number, and executes the operation effect depending on which of the determination values for the operation effect lottery stored in the sub control ROM 31b the value of the acquired random number matches. Decide whether or not to That is, in the present embodiment, the vibration of the effect button BT during execution of the three-dimensional display effect is executed on condition that it is controlled to the low probability high base state or the high probability high base state.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a does not execute operation effects when the current gaming state is the low probability low base state. That is, in the present embodiment, when being controlled to the low probability low base state, the vibration of the effect button BT during the execution of the stereoscopic display effect is restricted. In the present embodiment, the low probability low base state corresponds to a specific gaming state. Further, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a does not execute the operation effect, when the execution of the stereoscopic display effect is not determined, and when the execution of the normal reach is determined as the execution timing of the stereoscopic display effect. When the operation effect is not performed, the sub control CPU 31a may always determine non-execution of the operation effect in the operation effect lottery, or may not execute the operation effect lottery itself.

  In the present embodiment, when the operation effect is executed, the determination value for the operation effect lottery is distributed such that the jackpot anticipation to be notified is higher than when the operation effect is not executed. Here, in order to increase the jackpot expectation when the operation effect is performed, the determination ratio when the big hit fluctuation pattern is specified in the entire determination ratio at which the operation effect is determined is increased. , It is good to distribute the judgment value for the operation effect lottery.

  When the sub control CPU 31a determines that the operation effect is to be executed by the operation effect lottery, the sub control CPU 31a performs control based on the determined content. Specifically, when it is determined to execute the operation effect, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the vibration unit SU to vibrate the effect button BT after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the three-dimensional sound effect. That is, the sub control CPU 31a executes control to vibrate the effect button BT, triggered by the execution of the three-dimensional sound effect.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 31a starts the vibration of the effect button BT, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the operation period and starts measurement of the operation period. When the sub control CPU 31a inputs an operation signal indicating that the effect button BT has been operated within the operation period, the sub control CPU 31a ends the operation period and controls the effect display device 18 to display a notification image. Thereafter, the sub control CPU 31a ends the operation effect by ending the display of the notification image at a predetermined timing. On the other hand, when the sub control CPU 31a does not input an operation signal indicating that the effect button BT has been operated within the operation period, the sub control CPU 31a vibrates so as to end the vibration of the effect button BT without displaying the notification image. Control unit SU.

  In the present embodiment, the control for executing the operation effect performed by the sub control CPU 31a corresponds to vibration control for vibrating the effect button BT. That is, in the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a corresponds to control means for performing predetermined control. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect button BT vibrates in the operation effect. That is, the effect button BT vibrates triggered by the execution of the effect performed using the effect button BT. As described above, in the present embodiment, the stereophonic sound effect is started with the start of the stereoscopic display effect, and is ended with the end of the stereoscopic display effect. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the effect button BT can vibrate during execution of the three-dimensional display effect.

Hereinafter, a specific example when various effects are executed in the present embodiment will be described together with the control of the sub control CPU 31a.
First, the case where normal reach and super reach are executed in the effect game and the current gaming state is the low probability high base state or the high probability high base state will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 to start the effect game triggered by the input of the fluctuation pattern designation command (at time t0). In addition, when specifying that reach effect is to be performed based on the variation pattern specification command, the sub control CPU 31a determines whether or not to execute stereoscopic display effect, and to determine the execution timing when executing stereoscopic display effect. Execute a three-dimensional display lottery. Then, if the sub control CPU 31a determines to execute the three-dimensional display effect during the execution of the super reach, the sub control CPU 31a executes an operation effect lottery whether or not to execute the operation effect. Here, it is assumed that the execution of the operation effect is determined.

  In this case, after starting the normal reach, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to start the super reach. Then, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to start the stereoscopic display effect at a predetermined timing after the start of the super reach (time t1). At this time, the sub control CPU 31a controls the speaker Sp so as to start three-dimensional sound effects with the start of three-dimensional display effects.

  After that, the sub-control CPU 31a starts the operation effect (time t2) triggered by the fact that a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the three-dimensional sound effect. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the vibration unit SU to vibrate the effect button BT when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the three-dimensional sound effect. Further, when the sub-control CPU 31a starts the vibration of the effect button BT, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the operation period and starts measurement of the operation period. As described above, when the effect button BT vibrates, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to transmit the vibration of the effect button BT to the firing handle HD. Therefore, the player can recognize that the effect button BT is vibrating from the vibration of the launch handle HD.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a ends the operation period and displays the notification image so as to display the notification image in response to the input of the operation signal indicating that the effect button BT has been operated within the operation period. Control (time t3).

  Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 31a terminates the display of the notification image and terminates the vibration of the effect button BT in response to the elapse of a predetermined time, thereby ending the operation effect (at time t4). At this time, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to end the three-dimensional display effect, and controls the speaker Sp so as to end the three-dimensional sound effect. Thereafter, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to end the super reach.

  According to the control as described above, in the speaker Sp, stereoscopic sound effects are performed from when the stereoscopic display effect is started (time point t1) to when the stereoscopic display effect is ended (time point t4). Then, the effect button BT vibrates over part of the period (time point t2 to time point t4) of the period (time point t1 to time point t4) in which the three-dimensional display effect is executed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it can be grasped from the speaker Sp that the sound in the three-dimensional sound effect is outputted during the vibration of the effect button BT. Further, in the present embodiment, even in a period (time t1 to time t2) in which the effect button BT does not vibrate, the sound in the three-dimensional sound effect may be output from the speaker Sp. In the present embodiment, whether the period in which the effect button BT is not vibrating does not indicate an interval between vibration and vibration when the effect button BT vibrates intermittently, is it a continuous vibration? This refers to a period in which the effect button BT does not vibrate, regardless of intermittent vibration.

  On the other hand, although not shown, when the sub-control CPU 31a decides not to execute the operation effect in the operation effect lottery, the operation is performed even if a predetermined time has elapsed after starting the stereoscopic display effect and the three-dimensional sound effect. I will not start the production. That is, the sub-control CPU 31a determines that non-execution of the operation effect is performed in the operation effect lottery, even when executing the three-dimensional display effect and the three-dimensional sound effect in the low probability high base state or high probability high base state. Does not vibrate the presentation button BT. Thereafter, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to end the three-dimensional display effect, and controls the speaker Sp so as to end the three-dimensional sound effect.

Next, a case where normal reach and super reach are executed in the effect game and the current gaming state is the low probability low base state will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 to start the effect game triggered by the input of the fluctuation pattern designation command (at time t10). Further, when specifying that the reach effect is to be performed based on the fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub control CPU 31a executes a three-dimensional display lottery. At this time, the sub control CPU 31a does not execute the operation effect even when it is determined to execute the stereoscopic display effect during the execution of the super reach because the current gaming state is the low probability low base state. .

  In this case, after starting the normal reach, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to start the super reach. Then, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to start the stereoscopic display effect at a predetermined timing after the start of the super reach (time t11). At this time, the sub control CPU 31a controls the speaker Sp so as to start three-dimensional sound effects with the start of three-dimensional display effects. In this case, the sub control CPU 31a does not start the operation effect and does not vibrate the effect button BT even when a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the three-dimensional sound effect (time t12).

  After that, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to end the three-dimensional display effect, and controls the speaker Sp so as to end the three-dimensional sound effect (at time t13). Then, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to end the super reach.

  As described above, in the case of the low probability low base state, the sub control CPU 31a does not vibrate the effect button BT during execution of the three-dimensional display effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, in the case of the low probability low base state, the vibration of the effect button BT during the execution of the three-dimensional display effect is restricted. That is, in the present embodiment, the vibration of the effect button BT is regulated when the control condition of the operation effect is satisfied due to the low probability low base state. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the stereoscopic display effect can be performed even in the low probability low base state. That is, in the present embodiment, the three-dimensional display effect can be performed even when the restriction condition of the operation effect is satisfied.

Next, a case will be described in which it is determined in the three-dimensional display lottery that the three-dimensional display effect is to be executed during execution of the normal reach.
As shown in FIG. 7, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 to start the effect game triggered by the input of the variation pattern specification command (time t20). Further, when specifying that the reach effect is to be performed based on the fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub control CPU 31a executes a three-dimensional display lottery. Here, from the premise, it is assumed that it is decided to execute the stereoscopic display effect during execution of the normal reach.

  In this case, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to start the stereoscopic display effect at a predetermined timing after the normal reach is performed (time t21). At this time, the sub control CPU 31a controls the speaker Sp so as to start three-dimensional sound effects with the start of three-dimensional display effects. In this case, the sub-control CPU 31a does not start the operation effect and does not vibrate the effect button BT even when a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the three-dimensional sound effect (time t22).

  Thereafter, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to end the three-dimensional display effect and controls the speaker Sp so as to end the three-dimensional sound effect (at time t23). Then, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 18 so as to execute the super reach.

  As described above, when executing the stereoscopic display effect during execution of the normal reach, the sub control CPU 31a does not vibrate the effect button BT during the execution of the stereoscopic display effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the normal reach is performed, the vibration of the effect button BT during the execution of the three-dimensional display effect is restricted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the stereoscopic display effect can be performed even when the normal reach is performed. In other words, in the present embodiment, the stereoscopic display effect can be performed even when the super reach is not performed. That is, in the present embodiment, the three-dimensional display effect can be performed even when the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

  As described above, the sub control CPU 31a may not vibrate the effect button BT even when executing the stereoscopic display effect and the stereoscopic sound effect. That is, the stereoscopic display effect and the stereoscopic sound effect may be performed with the vibration of the effect button BT or may be performed without the vibration of the effect button BT. In other words, the effect button BT may or may not vibrate during execution of the three-dimensional display effect and the three-dimensional sound effect.

As described in detail above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Since the vibration of the effect button BT can be transmitted to the player through the emission handle HD when the stereoscopic display effect is executed, the effect is produced even when the player does not operate the effect button BT. A synergetic effect of the vibration of the button BT and the three-dimensional display effect and the three-dimensional sound effect can be provided. Therefore, the interest to the game can be improved.

  (2) Temporarily, when it is constituted so that production button BT always vibrates during execution of three-dimensional display production and also performs three-dimensional sound production, production button BT vibrates during execution of three-dimensional display production, and three-dimensional It is conceivable that the special feeling for performing the sound rendition fades. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the effect button BT may not vibrate even when the stereoscopic display effect is executed, and stereoscopic sound effect can be executed even during a period in which the effect button BT is not vibrating. Therefore, the effect button BT vibrates during the execution of the three-dimensional display effect, and the special feeling when the three-dimensional sound effect is also performed can be improved, and the interest for the game can be improved.

(3) The three-dimensional sound effect can be closely associated with the vibration of the effect button BT, so that the synergetic effect of the three-dimensional sound effect and the vibration of the effect button BT can be enhanced.
(4) Generally, stereoscopic display effects are effects that are difficult to recognize as compared with other display effects that do not display images stereoscopically. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, even when the effect button BT is vibrated during execution of the three-dimensional display effect, since the vibration of the effect button BT can be transmitted to the player via the launch handle HD, the game It is possible to make the user pay attention to the stereoscopic display effect while suppressing the person's attention from being directed to the operation of the effect button BT.

  (5) Generally, stereoscopic sound effects are difficult to distinguish from ordinary sound effects unless they are carefully heard. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the vibration of the effect button BT can be transmitted to the player through the emission handle HD even when the stereophonic sound effect is executed while the effect button BT is vibrating. It is possible to concentrate on stereoscopic sound effects while suppressing the player's attention from being directed to the operation of the effect button BT.

  (6) The firing handle HD can be said to be a means held by the player in most of the games, since the operation for firing the game ball is possible. Then, in the present embodiment, the vibration of the effect button BT can be transmitted to the player via the emission handle HD. According to this, even if the player does not operate the effect button BT, it is possible to easily transmit the vibration of the effect button BT to the player.

  (7) The effect button BT vibrates in the operation effect performed using the effect button BT. For this reason, even when the player does not pay attention to the effect button BT, the operation effect performed using the effect button BT is executed by transmitting the vibration of the effect button BT via the emission handle HD. Can be recognized.

  (8) Since the effect button BT can be vibrated during the execution of the three-dimensional effect when the three-dimensional effect is executed when the super reach is performed in the effect game, the three-dimensional effect and the effect are produced. It is possible to give a special feeling about the synergetic effect with the vibration of the button BT.

  (9) Even when the super reach is not executed, the stereoscopic effect can be enjoyed, but on the condition that the super reach is executed, the stereoscopic effect and the vibration of the effect button BT We can enjoy synergy. Therefore, it is possible to make the way of enjoyment different depending on whether the super reach is being performed, and it is possible to suppress the player from being bored.

  (10) When controlled to the low probability low base state, the vibration of the operation means for effect during execution of the three-dimensional display effect is regulated, so the vibration and three-dimensional display of the effect button BT according to the gaming state The way of entertaining the presentation can be different in terms of whether or not a synergetic effect with the presentation is given.

  (11) In the high base state (ball pitch improvement state), since the game ball easily enters the second starting opening 20, the execution of the second special game is easily suspended, and the second special suspension number is the upper limit number It is easy to reach In addition, when the second special hold number reaches the upper limit number, the player may release his hand from the firing handle HD in order to stop the firing of the gaming ball. In other words, it can be said that the high base state is a gaming state in which the player is more likely to release the hand from the launch handle HD as compared with the low base state (non-balloon improvement state). And in this embodiment, since it is possible to execute the vibration of the effect button BT during execution of the three-dimensional display effect in the high base state, the user releases the hand from the firing handle HD to which the vibration of the effect button BT is transmitted. Can be suppressed.

  (12) Generally, since the player desires to be judged as a big hit in the big hit judgment, he expects that a big hit display result will be derived in the special game. Therefore, the player operates the firing handle HD to fire the gaming ball, and enters the gaming ball into the starting openings 19 and 20 to perform the big hit determination. At this time, since the player can expect that the jackpot display result will be derived in the special game when the super reach is started, the player may release his hand from the launch handle HD to stop the launch of the game ball. . On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the stereoscopic effect is performed during execution of the super reach, the vibration of the effect button BT is executable during the execution of the stereoscopic effect, so that the vibration of the effect button BT is transmitted It is possible to suppress the release of the hand from the handle HD.

  (13) Even when the super reach is not executed, the stereoscopic effect can be enjoyed, but on the condition that the super reach is executed, the stereoscopic effect and the vibration of the effect button BT are performed. We can enjoy synergy. Therefore, it is possible to make the way of enjoyment different depending on whether the super reach is being performed, and it is possible to suppress the player from being bored.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
The execution condition of the stereoscopic display effect may be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be executable under the condition that it is controlled to a predetermined gaming state, such as when controlled to a high base state. In this case, while giving a special feeling that the stereoscopic display effect is executed, it is possible to give an interest to whether the effect button BT is vibrated, and the stereoscopic display effect and the vibration of the effect button BT The synergetic effect can be further enhanced. Also, for example, while being able to be performed while super reach is being performed, it may not be performed while normal reach is being performed, or it may be possible during non-execution of reach effect, or being non-executing a special game. Good.

  -The execution mode of the stereoscopic display effect may be changed as appropriate. For example, the stereoscopic display effect may be performed in a mode in which a predetermined image is displayed in a three-dimensional manner, or may be performed in a mode in which an image of a normal reach or a super reach in execution is three-dimensionally displayed. That is, the 3D display effect may be an effect that is performed independently of the display effect being executed, or an effect that changes the display mode of the display effect being executed to a stereoscopic display mode. Good.

  -Instead of or in addition to the three-dimensional display effect, a display effect for displaying a specific image may be made executable. In this case, the effect button BT may be allowed to vibrate during the execution of the display effect for displaying a specific image. According to this, it is possible to enjoy the synergetic effect by the vibration of the effect button BT and the display effect for displaying a specific image.

  The three-dimensional display effect may be performed always with the vibration of the effect button BT. That is, when the three-dimensional display effect is performed, the vibration of the effect button BT may also be performed. In addition to the fact that the effect button BT keeps vibrating during the execution period of the three-dimensional display effect that the effect of the production button BT is always accompanied by the vibration, the effect button BT in at least a part of the execution period of the three-dimensional display effect. Includes vibration.

  The execution conditions of the three-dimensional sound effects may be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be executable in a part of the execution period of the stereoscopic display effect, or may be executable in a period when the stereoscopic display effect is not executed. For example, it may be executable on condition that it is controlled to a predetermined gaming state.

  The execution period of the three-dimensional sound effects may be changed as appropriate. For example, the stereophonic sound effect may be performed only while the effect button BT is vibrating. In this case, the stereophonic sound production may be executed over the entire period in which the production button BT is vibrating, or the stereophonic sound production may be performed over a portion of the period in which the production button BT is vibrating It is also good.

  In place of or in addition to the three-dimensional sound effects, the sound effects may be executable to output a predetermined sound. In this case, a predetermined sound may be output from the speaker Sp while the effect button BT vibrates. According to this, it is possible to enjoy the synergetic effect of the vibration of the effect button BT and the output of a predetermined sound from the speaker Sp.

  The three-dimensional sound effect may be performed always with the vibration of the effect button BT. That is, when a three-dimensional sound effect is performed, the vibration of the effect button BT may also be performed. In addition to the fact that the effect button BT keeps vibrating during the execution period of the three-dimensional sound effect that the effect of the production button BT is always accompanied by the vibration of the effect button BT, the effect button BT in at least a part of the execution period of the three-dimensional sound effect Includes vibration.

  The execution period of the three-dimensional sound effect and the period in which the effect button BT vibrates do not have to overlap. In addition, the present invention may be embodied in a gaming machine which does not have three-dimensional sound effects. Even in this case, a synergetic effect can be given by the three-dimensional display effect and the vibration of the effect button BT.

  The execution condition and the control condition of the operation effect may be changed as appropriate. In the present embodiment, the execution condition of the operation effect may be a condition that is satisfied in a situation where it is assumed that the player releases the shooting handle HD. The situation where it is assumed that the player takes his hand off the launch handle HD is the situation where a big hit can be expected to be a big hit, such as when a super reach is performed, or a high base condition. There may be situations where it is easy for the number of special reservations to reach the upper limit. Then, in a situation where it is assumed that such a player releases his / her hand from the launch handle HD, if it is possible to execute the operation effect, the hand is released from the launch handle HD to which the vibration of the effect button BT is transmitted. Can be suppressed. In this example, an execution mode in which the player is assumed to release the shooting handle HD may be associated with a predetermined execution mode.

  The operation effect may be performed on the condition that the number of special holdings has reached the upper limit number. In this case, when it is determined that the execution of the operation effect is determined in the operation effect lottery, the sub control CPU 31a executes the operation effect when it is determined that the number of special holdings has reached the upper limit number before the start timing of the operation effect. You may do it. If the number of special holdings has reached the upper limit number, the player may release his hand from the firing handle HD to stop the firing of the game balls. On the other hand, according to this example, since the vibration of the effect button BT can be executed when the number of special holdings has reached the upper limit number, the hand is released from the firing handle HD to which the vibration of the effect button BT is transmitted It is possible to suppress the

  -It may be a predetermined condition that a special effect different from super reach has been performed. Here, it is desirable that the special effect is an effect notifying that the big hit expectation degree in the special game is high. Further, the special effect is not limited to the effect of notifying that the big hit expectation in the special game in progress is high, but may be, for example, the effect informing that the big hit in the pending special game is high. . In addition, the special effect may be a big hit finalization effect that announces that it will be a big hit.

  -It may be possible to execute the operation effect without setting the low certainty low base state as the restriction condition. In addition, it may be possible to execute the operation effect without setting the stereoscopic display effect not to be executed as the restriction condition. Moreover, it may be possible to execute the operation effect without setting the execution of the normal reach as a restriction condition.

  The regulation of the execution of the operation presentation does not have to be performed without executing the operation presentation. For example, the strength of the vibration of the effect button BT may be weakened, or the time for vibrating may be shortened.

  The vibration of the effect button BT may be performed independently of the effect performed using the effect button BT, such as an effect instructing the operation of the effect button BT and an effect executed with the operation of the effect button BT as a trigger. Good. That is, the vibration of the effect button BT may be executed as a single effect by itself. In other words, the effect button BT may vibrate even when the effect performed using the effect button BT is not executed.

  The timing at which the effect button BT vibrates may be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be made to vibrate continuously during the period which is performing stereophonic sound production, and you may make it vibrate at a specific timing among the periods which are performing stereophonic sound production. Moreover, you may make it vibrate irrespective of the timing which performs three-dimensional sound production. For example, vibration may be made after a predetermined time has elapsed since the fluctuation pattern designation command is input, or vibration may be made at a timing determined according to the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. .

  The operation effect may be provided so as not to vibrate the effect button BT. In this case, it may be notified that the operation of the effect button BT is effective, by display of an image by the effect display device 18, light emission of the decoration lamp La, audio output by the speaker Sp, or the like.

  In addition to the firing handle HD, the player may be provided with gripping means that can be gripped. In this case, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured to transmit the vibration of the effect button BT by the vibration unit SU to the gripping means.

  -Instead of or in addition to the presentation button BT, for example, a lever, a dial, or a touch sensor may be provided. That is, the effect operation means may not be the button type operation means, and the configuration may be changed as appropriate.

  The arrangement position of the effect button BT and the emission handle HD may be changed as appropriate. The effect button BT and the emission handle HD may be connected by the same member inside the pachinko gaming machine 10. That is, in the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured so that the vibration of the effect button BT is transmitted to the discharge handle HD.

  The main control CPU 30a may determine whether or not the reach effect is to be executed by determining the fluctuation pattern, or the sub control CPU 31a determines the sub fluctuation pattern based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. You may decide by deciding. Similarly, whether or not to execute normal reach and whether to execute super reach may be determined by the main control CPU 30a determining the fluctuation pattern, or the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. The sub-control CPU 31a may determine the sub-variation pattern based on the sub-variation pattern.

  ・ A game is determined whether or not the game ball passes through a specific area during a big hit game and the game ball passing through the specific area is controlled to a high probability state depending on whether a specific sensor detects or not The present invention may be embodied in a machine (so-called V-probability machine). In this case, the main control CPU 30a may control the gaming state after the end of the big hit game to a high probability state on condition that the gaming ball has been detected by a specific sensor. In addition, even if the number of special games executed after the high probability state is granted reaches a predetermined upper limit number, it may be embodied in a gaming machine (so-called ST machine) whose high probability state is ended. Good. In this case, the main control CPU 30a may control the gaming state to a high probability state after the end of all the big hit games. Further, after the end of the big hit game, it may be embodied in a gaming machine (a so-called falling machine) which gives a high probability state with an upper limit until winning a predetermined falling lottery.

  -As a gaming state, it may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine provided with one kind of probability state. That is, the present invention may be embodied in a gaming machine that does not have a probability variation function that varies the probability of positive determination in the jackpot determination. In this case, when controlled to the low base state, the vibration of the effect button BT may be restricted. That is, the low base state may be associated with a specific gaming state.

  The base state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be embodied in a gaming machine provided with one type of base state. That is, the present invention may be embodied in a gaming machine that does not have the ball entry rate improving function for improving the ball entry rate of the game balls into the second starting opening 20. In this case, when controlled to the low probability state, the vibration of the effect button BT may be restricted. That is, the low probability state may be associated with a specific gaming state.

-It may be embodied in a gaming machine that provides a big hit game triggered by detection of the gaming ball by a specific sensor.
The first special game and the second special game may be executed in the order of holding, may be alternately executed, and may be simultaneously executed in parallel. Also, the second special game may be omitted.

The main control CPU 30a, the main control ROM 30b, and the main control RAM 30c may be configured as a one-chip microcomputer.

  The function of the sub control board 31 may be realized by being divided into a plurality of boards. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be provided with a display board for specialized control of the effect display device 18, a lamp board for specialized control of the decoration lamp La, and an audio board for specialized control of the speaker Sp. It may further include an integrated substrate that controls the substrate group in an integrated manner.
