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. In the high probability state, since the possibility of winning a big hit is increased compared to the low probability state, the gaming state is advantageous for the player. 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. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting opening 27 is higher than that in the low base state. 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, since the probability that the gaming ball enters the second starting opening 27 increases, the gaming state is advantageous 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 in the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol which fluctuates the probability of winning the regular hit lottery (normal hit probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an open time extension control in which the total open time of the first variable member 28 in one normal hit game is made 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 first variable member 28 in one ordinary hit game more than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 28 in ordinary hit game It is preferable to perform at least one control of the control of making the open time of L longer than in the low base state. Also, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time reduction control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, the average variation 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 present embodiment, the first variable member 28 may be in the open state even in the low base state, so the game ball may enter the second starting opening 27 even in the low base state. There is. However, when it is in the low base state, for example, it is configured not to win the winning lottery normally, and when it is in the low base state, the first variable member 28 does not open and the second starting opening 27 is played The ball may be configured not to enter the ball. In addition, when the base is in the low base state, for example, the first variable member 28 is configured not to be in the open state even if the player wins the normal lottery, so that the game ball does not enter the second starting opening 27 You may configure it. When configured as described above, in the low base state, the gaming ball can not enter the second starting opening 27 but in the high base state, the gaming ball can enter the second starting opening 27 It can be said.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the gaming state (type of gaming state) is the gaming state in the low probability state and the low base state, and the gaming state in the low probability state and the high base state There are a gaming state, which is a high probability state and a low base state, and a gaming state, which is a high probability state and a high base state. And, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, one gaming state is controlled among a plurality of types of gaming states.

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. Several types of jackpot symbols are classified into a first jackpot symbol and a second jackpot symbol. A plurality of types of jackpot symbols are determined for each type of jackpot, and there are a plurality of jackpot types. The game state after the end of the big hit game may be defined in a plurality of types of big hit symbols.

  In the big hit game, first, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined opening period. In the big hit game, a round game in which the big winning opening 29 is opened is performed after the end of the opening effect. The round game is played with the predetermined upper limit number as the upper limit. In one round game, the special winning opening 29 is 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. It is released. In round games, round effects are performed. Then, in the big hit game, when the final round game is finished, an ending effect of notifying the end of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending effect.

  In the big hit symbol classified into the first big hit symbol and the big hit symbol classified into the second big hit symbol, the upper limit number of round games (for example, 10 times) is determined. The big hit symbol classified as the first big hit symbol is the high probability state between the next big hit game to be awarded and the next big hit game to be given as the gaming state after the end of the big hit game And a high base state between On the other hand, in the big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol, a special probability of a low probability state and a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, 100 times) is ended as a gaming state to be granted after the end of the big hit game. A high base state is defined between the whistle or during the high hit game is given before the upper limit number of special games are ended.

  In the present embodiment, according to the viewpoint of whether or not the high probability state is given, the degree of advantage is in the relation of “second jackpot symbol <first jackpot symbol”. According to the viewpoint of whether the number of special games to which the high base state is given is large or small, the degree of advantage is in the relation of “second jackpot symbol <first jackpot symbol”. Therefore, the first big hit symbol is a big hit symbol which is advantageous over the second big hit symbol because the number of special games to which the high base status is given is large and the high probability status is given. Hereinafter, a big hit game based on the big hit symbol classified as the first big hit symbol is referred to as "first big hit game", and a big hit game based on the big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol is referred to as "second big hit game". Also, the type of jackpot corresponding to the first jackpot game is indicated as "first jackpot", and the type of jackpot corresponding to the second jackpot game is indicated as "second jackpot".

  In addition, in the display effect that can be performed by the effect display device 25 in the present embodiment, symbols for effect (hereinafter referred to as effect symbols) are variably displayed in a plurality of columns, and finally combinations of effect symbols are determined and stopped display There is an effect pattern variation game (hereinafter referred to as an effect game). As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute the effect symbol variation game performed using the effect symbols. Note that the effect game can be said to be an effect pattern variation game using an effect pattern. The effect pattern is a pattern on which a decoration such as a character or a pattern is given, and is for diversifying the display effect, and is also referred to as a "decorative pattern" or a "decorative pattern". In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by fluctuating display (scroll display) of the first, second and third row symbol rows in the vertical direction. The production symbols in the first row are the so-called first symbols, the rendering symbols in the second row are the so-called second symbols, and the rendering symbols in the third row are the so-called third symbols. In the following description, "first row" is indicated as "left row" and "first symbol" is indicated as "left symbol", and "second row" is indicated as "middle row" and "second symbol" is indicated. "Middle symbol" is shown, "third row" is shown as "right row" and "third symbol" is shown as "right symbol". In the present embodiment, in each column, in principle, effect symbols imitating the numerals [1] to [8] are variably displayed in a predetermined order.

  The effect game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game starts with the start of the special game and ends with the end of the special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute the effect symbol variation game while the special symbol variation game is being executed. Then, in the effect game, the combination of the effect symbols according to the special symbols displayed in the special game is displayed in the fixed stop state. When the big hit symbol is determined and displayed in the special game, the big hit symbol by the created symbol is determined and displayed in the effect game. For example, the big hit design by the production design, such as "777", is a symbol combination in which the production design of all the rows becomes the same. For example, when the first big hit game is awarded after the end of the special game, a symbol combination (for example, [777]) in which the rendering symbols in all the rows become the same odd rendering symbols is configured to be displayed as a fixed stop You may On the other hand, when the second big hit game is awarded after the end of the special game, the symbol combination (for example, [222]) in which the rendering symbols in all the rows become the same even rendering symbols is configured to be stop displayed You may

  In addition, in the special game, when the off symbol is determined and displayed, in the effect game, the out pattern due to the created symbol is determined and displayed. For example, the off-design by the production design is a symbol combination such as “323”, “556”, [426], etc., where the production design of at least one row is different from the production design of the other row. In the effect game of the present embodiment, the effect pattern is temporarily displayed before the finalized display. In the present specification, "temporary stop display" means, for example, a state indicating that the symbol may be fluctuatingly displayed again, such as "swing fluctuation state", or a state indicating that it is different from the fixed stop display. ing.

  In the effect game, the reach effect is performed when the display mode of the effect pattern is the reach mode (when the reach is formed). In the reach mode, a rendering symbol imitating the same number is temporarily displayed on a specific row (in the present embodiment, the left row and the right row) among a plurality of rows, and is different from the specific row (this row) In the embodiment, the middle middle row) production symbols are continuously displayed in a variable manner.

  For example, in the reach effect, there may be a plurality of types of reach effects different in the motion of the character and the effect pattern to be appeared. For example, reach effects include normal reach effect and super reach effect performed after the start of normal reach effect.

The main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the game ball has entered the first start port 26 based on whether or not the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 has been input (hereinafter referred to as a first input determination) ). If the determination result of the first input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). (Hereinafter, it will be referred to as the first hold determination).

  When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the first special hold number to update. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so as to display the updated first special holding number. The main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a first hold number command) capable of specifying the updated first special hold number in an output buffer. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub board 41 in the next and subsequent interrupt processing. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores 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 the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until the execution condition of the first special game is established. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can hold the execution of the first special game. 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. 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.

  In addition, after storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second start opening based on whether or not the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input. It is determined whether or not the gaming ball has entered 27 (hereinafter, referred to as a second input determination). When the determination result of the first input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs a second input determination. Similarly, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs a second input determination. If the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). Determination (hereinafter, referred to as second hold determination). If the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process.

  When the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the second special hold number to update. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated second special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a second hold number command) capable of specifying the updated second special hold number in the output buffer. If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires the random number generated in the main board 40, and stores the random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c, End special symbol input processing. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores that the random number information for the second 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 second special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution is suspended until an execution condition for the second special game is established. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can hold the execution of the second special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to suspend execution of the special game.

Next, the special symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the special game is satisfied (hereinafter, referred to as execution determination). In the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when it is not in the big hit game and not in the special game, but determines the negative when it is in the big hit game or in the special game. If the determination result of the execution determination is negative (if the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied), the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative (when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied), the main control CPU 40a has the second special reserve number stored in the main control RAM 40c at 1 or more. Determine if Then, when the second special reserve number is one or more, the main control CPU 40a performs the second special symbol start process related to the execution of the second special game, and then ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the second special hold number is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is one or more. When the first special hold number is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first special reserve number is one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process after performing the first special symbol start process according to the execution of the first special game.

  In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a subtracts one from the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update it. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special holding number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a first hold number command capable of specifying the updated first special hold number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out, from the main control RAM 40c, the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game. Note that, when the main control CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a big hit. This processing corresponds to a jackpot lottery (jump determination) whether or not a jackpot. For example, the determination as to whether or not the jackpot is to be won may be made based on whether or not the value of the random number information matches the jackpot determination value. For example, the determination as to whether or not the jackpot is to be won may be made based on whether or not the value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

  After finishing the big hit lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the special symbol to be displayed on the fixed stop display in the first special game and the variation pattern of the first special game. Specifically, when the jackpot is won, the main control CPU 40a determines a jackpot symbol and a jackpot fluctuation pattern. On the other hand, when the big hit is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines the out pattern and the out variation pattern. For example, when the jackpot is not won, the main control CPU 40a performs the reach lottery, determines the reach variation fluctuation pattern when the reach lottery wins, and does not reach the reach fluctuation when the reach lottery is not won The pattern may be determined. The main control CPU 40a may determine the special symbol or the variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information (hereinafter referred to as a symbol command) capable of specifying the determined special symbol and control information (hereinafter referred to as a fluctuation pattern designation command) capable of specifying a fluctuation pattern. End the first special symbol start process.

  In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a subtracts one from the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update it. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a second hold number command capable of specifying the updated second special hold number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game from the main control RAM 40c. Note that, when the main control CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a big hit. This processing corresponds to a jackpot lottery (jump determination) whether or not a jackpot.

  After finishing the big hit lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a special symbol to be displayed on the second special game to be confirmed and stopped, and a variation pattern of the second special game. Specifically, when the jackpot is won, the main control CPU 40a determines a jackpot symbol and a jackpot fluctuation pattern. On the other hand, when the big hit is not won, the main control CPU 40a determines the out pattern and the out variation pattern. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start process.

  Then, when the special symbol start process is ended, the main control CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a counts the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is displayed on a fixed stop when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has elapsed. In addition, when the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a game end command for confirming and displaying the symbol combination by the effect symbols.

Next, winning ball processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. Similarly, when the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the count sensor SE3 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the first general sensor SE5 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. Similarly, when the detection signal from the second general sensor SE6 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the number of gaming balls paid out when the gaming ball enters the general winning opening 32, 33 is the number of gaming balls paid out when the gaming ball enters the starting opening 26, 27. More than. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of game balls paid out when the game ball enters the general winning opening 32, 33 is the number of game balls paid out when the game ball enters the large winning opening 29 There are also few.

Next, the big hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the big hit process, the main control CPU 40a 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 40a starts control to grant the specified big hit game. Therefore, the main control CPU 40a gives a big hit game by executing the big hit process. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the jackpot game is awarded after the jackpot is won.

  When the big game special game is over, the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. When storing the opening command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a counts the opening time. When the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 40a performs processing for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 to open the big winning opening 29 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 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the big winning opening 29 is closed, and ends the round game. . The main control CPU 40a repeatedly performs the process for executing the round game until the round game of the upper limit number of times set for the big hit game is ended. In addition, the main control CPU 40a stores a round command in the output buffer each time a round game is started.

  Further, when the final round game is finished, the main control CPU 40a stores an ending command in the output buffer. In addition, when the ending command is stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a counts the ending time. Then, when the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a ends the big hit game.

Next, the gaming state process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state 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 40a specifies the low probability state, the probability state flag is stored in the main control RAM 40c with a value capable of specifying control to the low probability state when the big hit game is ended. Set to When the main control CPU 40a specifies the assignment of the high probability state, when ending the big hit game, it sets a value capable of specifying control to the high probability state in the probability state flag.

  The main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to be in the high base state in the base state flag when ending the big hit game, when specifying the giving of the high base state. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high base state command) capable of specifying that the high base state is in the output buffer. When the main control CPU 40a specifies the application of the high base state for which the upper limit number has been determined, the main control CPU 40a stores the number corresponding to the upper limit number in the main control RAM 40c as the remaining number of special games for applying the high base state.

  The main control CPU 40 a subtracts one from the remaining number stored in the main control RAM 40 c each time the special game is executed. When the remaining number becomes 0, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to be in the low base state as a base state flag when the special game whose remaining number becomes 0 is ended. That is, the main control CPU 40a ends the high base state and shifts to the low base state. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, referred to as a low base state command) capable of specifying that the low base state is in the output buffer.

  Incidentally, when the big hit game is awarded, the main control CPU 40a sets a value capable of specifying control to the low probability state as the probability state flag and a value capable of specifying control to the low base state. Set to base status flag. Also, the main control CPU 40a stores the low base state command in the output buffer.

Next, normal symbol input processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the gaming ball has passed (entered) the gate 31 based on whether a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. If the gaming ball has not passed through the gate 31, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. On the other hand, when the gaming ball passes the gate 31, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). . If the normal holding number is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process. If the normal holding number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the normal holding number stored in the main control RAM 40c and updates it. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated number of normal reservations. In addition, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter, normal pending number command) that can specify the updated normal pending number in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main substrate 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the normal game and the storage order of the random number information so as to be identifiable. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, normal symbol start processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes a positive determination if it is not in a normal hit game and not in a normal game, but determines negative in a normal hit game or in a normal game. When the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is one or more. If the normal number of reservations is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. If the normal holding number is one or more, the main control CPU 40a subtracts one from the normal holding number stored in the main control RAM 40c to update it. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated number of normal reservations is displayed. In addition, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a normal hold number command that can specify the updated normal hold number.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a reads the random number information stored first among the random game information for the normal game from the main control RAM 40c. Note that, when the main control CPU 40a reads the first random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a normal hit based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This processing corresponds to a normal hit lottery (normal hit determination) as to whether or not it is a normal hit. For example, when adopting the above-described probability variation control of the normal symbol, the main control CPU 40a is normally hit so that the probability of winning in the normal hit is higher in the high base state compared to the low base state. It is preferable to determine whether or not to win.

  In the case of winning in the normal hit, the main control CPU 40a determines a normal hit symbol to be displayed as a fixed stop in the normal game and a fluctuation time of the normal game. For example, when adopting the variation time reduction control of the normal symbol, the main control CPU 40a determines the first variation time in the low base state, and the second variation time shorter than the first variation time in the high base state You should decide. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a executes the normal game by performing processing other than the normal symbol start processing. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a causes the normal game to start, and when the variation time determined in the normal symbol start process has passed, the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is displayed in a fixed stop manner, The information display panel 22 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information that can specify that the execution of the normal game is to be started as the execution of the normal game is started.

Next, the normal hit process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
If the normal hit is won, the main control CPU 40a determines the opening pattern of the second starting port 27 when the normal game is over, and the second starting port 27 is opened according to the determined opening pattern. , And control the first actuator A1. For example, when adopting the above-described open time extension control, the main control CPU 40a selects the first open pattern in the low base state, and in the high base state, the game per normal game than the first open pattern. It is preferable to determine a second opening pattern in which the total opening time of the first variable member 28 in the second opening is long.

  In the present embodiment, it is easier to win a normal hit when in the high base state than in the low base state. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to win a normal hit even in the low base state, and the first variable member 28 is opened when the normal hit lottery is won. . Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the base is in the low base state, it is difficult for the gaming ball to enter the second start opening 27 compared to the high base state, but to the second start opening 27 There is a possibility that the game ball will enter the ball.

Next, various processes performed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
First, state processing performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.

  When the low base state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the low base state to the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. When the high base state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the high base state to the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub control CPU 41a can specify the high base state (or the low base state) by referring to the base state flag.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a receives the opening command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying that a big hit is in progress in the big hit state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41 c. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an ending command and then inputs a variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying that a big hit is not in progress in the big hit state flag stored in the secondary control RAM 41 c. The sub control CPU 41a can specify whether or not a big hit game is in progress (or is not a big hit game) by referring to the big hit state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41 c.

Next, the jackpot effect process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that a big hit effect is performed during the big hit game. Specifically, when an opening command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that an opening effect is performed. Further, when the round command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that a round effect is performed. Further, when the ending control command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the ending effect is performed.

Next, the effect game process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 so that the effect game as a general effect or the effect accompanying the effect game is performed. Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a symbol command and a fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control to execute an effect game. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the symbol combination by the effect symbol to be finally displayed in the final stop state in the effect game based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. When the symbol that can be specified from the symbol command is a big hit symbol, the sub control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination of the big hit by the effect symbol. When the symbol that can be identified from the symbol command is a detached symbol, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination of the symbol pattern due to the effect symbol.

  When the reach effect is performed in the present effect game, the sub-control CPU 41a may determine the symbol combination including the reach, when the reach condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the reach condition is satisfied when the out-of-reach reach variation pattern is designated. The reach condition may be configured to be satisfied when the subsidiary control CPU 41a performs the effect lottery and the effect lottery is won.

  In addition, when the fluctuation pattern specification command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 so as to change and display the effect pattern. That is, the sub control CPU 41a starts the effect game. For this reason, it can be said that the fluctuation pattern designation command is control information for instructing the start of the effect game based on the fluctuation pattern. The sub-control CPU 41a is configured to set the decoration lamp 17 so that a predetermined effect such as a big hit notice effect or a suggested effect suggesting a game state is executed based on the change pattern which can be specified from the change pattern designation command. At least one of the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 is controlled.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination based on the determined rendering symbol at a predetermined timing. After that, the sub control CPU 41a causes the symbol combination by the effect symbols to be determined and stopped and displayed in response to the input of the game end command. Note that the sub control CPU 41a may count fluctuation time that can be identified from the fluctuation pattern regardless of the game end command, and may cause the symbol combination to be displayed as a fixed stop when the fluctuation time has elapsed. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute pseudo continuous effect. In the pseudo continuous effect, a period from the start to the end of one special game is divided into a plurality of unit periods (unit intervals), and various effects (for example, variation display of effect symbols) are executed in each unit interval To be done. The “unit section” in the present embodiment corresponds to a fluctuation cycle, and the “pseudo-continuous effect” in the present embodiment includes a plurality of fluctuation cycles. In addition, the “unit section” can be said to be an effect section or an effect cycle in which the effect is executed. A period (section) serving as a fluctuation cycle in the present embodiment is a period (section) from when fluctuation display of the effect design is started to when the effect design is temporarily stopped and displayed. As described above, in the pseudo continuous effect, the fluctuation cycle including the fluctuation display and the temporary stop display of the effect design is performed a plurality of times.

  When the pseudo continuous effect is executed in the present embodiment, in the fluctuation cycle (that is, the fluctuation cycle in the middle) other than the final time in the pseudo continuous effect, the out pattern due to the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. Further, when the pseudo continuous rendition is executed in the present embodiment, in the final variation cycle of the pseudo continuous rendition, the symbol combination of the big hit by the rendition symbol or the symbol combination of the resignation by the rendition symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is associated with the fluctuation pattern. FIG. 4 shows a total of nine types of fluctuation patterns of fluctuation patterns HP1 to HP9. The variation patterns HP1 to HP9 are partial variation patterns of a plurality of types of variation patterns. The fluctuation patterns HP1 to HP5 are out-of-order fluctuation patterns. Among the fluctuation patterns HP1 to HP5, the fluctuation pattern HP1 is an out-of-reach no fluctuation pattern, and the fluctuation patterns HP2 to HP5 are an out-of-reach reaching fluctuation pattern. On the other hand, fluctuation patterns HP6 to HP9 are big hit fluctuation patterns.

  The fluctuation pattern HP1 is associated with one as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP2 is associated with one as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP3 is associated with two as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP4 is associated with three times as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP5 is associated with four times as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP6 is associated with one as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP7 is associated with two times as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP 8 is associated with three times as the number of fluctuation cycles. The fluctuation pattern HP 9 is associated with four times as the number of fluctuation cycles.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a plurality of fluctuation cycles are associated with the fluctuation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 among the fluctuation patterns HP1 to HP9. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the pseudo continuous effect is executed while the special game based on the variation patterns HP3 to HP5 and HP7 to HP9 is being executed. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the maximum number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is four.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the pseudo continuous rendition is executed, the specific rendition is executed in the fluctuation cycle. That is, the pseudo continuous effect in the present embodiment is configured to include a plurality of fluctuation cycles in which the specific effect is executed. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the specific effect is performed prior to the reach effect in one special game. Although the details will be described later, in the present embodiment, an effect performed in a fluctuation cycle such as an effect of displaying a background image or an effect of outputting background music corresponds to a specific effect.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the effect system of the specific effect executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a plurality of effect systems. Specifically, the effects of the specific effect in this embodiment include a land effect system, a river effect system, a sea effect system, a sky effect system, an earth effect system, and a space effect system.

  In addition, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is equal to or more than the specific number, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycles after the specific number is performed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific fluctuation cycle. It differs from the production system of the specific production being played. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect system of the specific effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous production is the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous presentation (the fluctuation cycle before the second). It differs from the production system of the specific performance performed in

  Specifically, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed, one of the land effect system, the river effect system, the sea effect system, and the sky effect system in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. A specific effect of the effect system is executed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed, in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect, the specific effect of any of the effect systems in the earth effect system and the space effect system. Is executed. In the present embodiment, the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect corresponds to the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, and “two times” corresponds to the specific number of times.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is performed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. There are few kinds compared with the production system of a specific production. That is, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is compared to the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number, There are few kinds. Further, in the present embodiment, the space rendering system corresponds to the first rendering system, and the earth rendering system corresponds to the second rendering system. And, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the effect system of the specific effect executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times, the space effect system corresponding to the first effect system and the second effect system There is a corresponding earth directing system.

  In the present embodiment, when the effect system is different, the motif of the effect performed in at least one of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18, and the effect display device 25 is different, and the atmosphere is different. As described above, in the present embodiment, “different production systems of specific effects” may be equivalent to “different motifs for production” or “different atmospheres for effects”. The fact that the atmosphere of the production is different can also be said that the ambiance is different. In addition, the mood of the effect is different because the effect atmosphere is different.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the effect system of the specific effect is different, the effect system of the background image displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25 is different. Specifically, when the rendering system is different, the background image displayed in the display area 25r is different. In the present embodiment, the effect of displaying the background image corresponds to the specific effect. As described above, in the display area 25 r of the effect display device 25 functioning as an image display unit, an effect of displaying a background image is executed.

  In the present embodiment, when it is a land effect system, an effect of displaying a background image with a land motif (hereinafter, referred to as a land background image) in the display area 25r is executed. When it is a river effect system, an effect of displaying a background image having a river as a motif (hereinafter, referred to as a background image of a river) in the display area 25r is performed. When the sea effect system is used, an effect of displaying a background image with a sea motif (hereinafter, referred to as a sea background image) in the display area 25r is performed. In the case of the sky rendering system, a rendering is performed to display a background image having a sky as a motif (hereinafter, referred to as a sky background image) in the display area 25r. In the case of the earth effect system, an effect of displaying a background image having the earth as a motif (hereinafter, referred to as a background image of the earth) on the display area 25r is performed. When the space effect system is used, an effect of displaying a background image with a space motif (hereinafter referred to as a space background image) in the display area 25r is executed. Thus, the background image displayed in the display area 25r differs depending on the type of effect system. In this embodiment, as described above, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect, and the effect of the specific effect executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. Lineage is different. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the background image displayed in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the background image displayed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is any of the land effect system, the river effect system, the sea effect system, and the sky effect system. It becomes a production system. Therefore, the effect of displaying the background image of the land, the effect of displaying the background image of the river, the effect of displaying the background image of the sea, and the effect of displaying the background image of the sky are performed in the first variation cycle of the pseudo continuous effect. It can be said that it is a possible production. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the rendering system executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering does not become the earth rendering system or the space rendering system. Therefore, the effect of displaying the background image of the earth and the effect of displaying the background image of the universe can be said to be impossible effects in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is one of the effect system of the earth effect system and the space effect system. Therefore, the effect of displaying the background image of the earth and the effect of displaying the background image of the universe can be said to be effects that can be performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the rendering system of the specific rendering performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous rendering does not become the land rendering system, the river rendering system, the sea rendering system, or the sky rendering system. Therefore, the effect of displaying the background image of land, the effect of displaying the background image of the river, the effect of displaying the background image of the sea, and the effect of displaying the background image of sky are the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. It can be said that it is an impossible production.

  As described above, in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles of the pseudo-continuous effect, the effect that can not be performed (the effect of displaying the background image of the land, the effect of displaying the background image of the river, the effect of displaying the background image of the sea, the sky An effect of displaying a background image can be performed in the first variation cycle. In the first change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, an impossible effect (effect of displaying the background image of the earth and effect of displaying the background image of the space) can be performed in the second and subsequent change cycles. Thus, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect and the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle (the first fluctuation cycle) before the second operation are different. As described above, in the present embodiment, “different production system of specific effect” may be equivalent to “different background image displayed in the display area 25 r”.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the effect system of the specific effect is different, the effect system of the effect of outputting the background music from the speaker 18 is different. Specifically, when the rendering system is different, the background music output from the speaker 18 is different. In the present embodiment, an effect that outputs background music corresponds to a specific effect. Thus, in the speaker 18, an effect of outputting background music is performed.

  In the present embodiment, when it is a land effect system, an effect of outputting background music with a motif of land (hereinafter, referred to as background music of land) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the river effect system, an effect of outputting background music with a motif of the river (hereinafter, referred to as background music of the river) from the speaker 18 is executed. When the sea effect system is used, an effect of outputting background music with a sea motif (hereinafter referred to as sea background music) from the speaker 18 is performed. When it is a sky rendering system, a rendering that outputs background music with a sky motif (hereinafter, referred to as sky background music) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the earth directing system, an effect of outputting background music with the motif of the earth (hereinafter, referred to as background music of the earth) from the speaker 18 is executed. In the case of the space effect system, an effect of outputting background music with a space motif (hereinafter referred to as space background music) from the speaker 18 is performed. Thus, the background music output from the speaker 18 differs depending on the type of effect system. In this embodiment, as described above, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect, and the effect of the specific effect executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. Lineage is different. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the background music output in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the background music output in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is any of the land effect system, the river effect system, the sea effect system, and the sky effect system. It becomes a production system. Therefore, the effect of outputting the background music of the land, the effect of outputting the background music of the river, the effect of outputting the background music of the ocean, and the effect of outputting the background music of the sky are performed in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect It can be said that it is a possible production. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the rendering system executed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering does not become the earth rendering system or the space rendering system. Therefore, it can be said that the effect of outputting the background music of the earth and the effect of outputting the background music of the space are impossible effects in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is one of the effect system of the earth effect system and the space effect system. Therefore, the effect of outputting the background music of the earth and the effect of outputting the background music of the universe can be said to be executable effects in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the rendering system of the specific rendering performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous rendering does not become the land rendering system, the river rendering system, the sea rendering system, or the sky rendering system. Therefore, the effect of outputting the background music of the land, the effect of outputting the background music of the river, the effect of outputting the background music of the sea, and the effect of outputting the background music of the sky are the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. It can be said that it is an impossible production.

  As described above, in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles of the simulated continuous rendition, effects that can not be carried out (rendering background music on the land, directing background music on the river, directing sea background music, and the sky) An effect of outputting background music can be performed in the first variation cycle. In the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous performance, an unperformable effect (a performance for outputting the background music of the earth and a performance for outputting the background music of the space) can be performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. Thus, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect and the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle (the first fluctuation cycle) before the second operation are different. As described above, in the present embodiment, “different production systems of specific effects” may be equivalent to “different background music output from the speaker 18”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the effect system of the specific effect to be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the space effect system, the first character, the second character, the third character, and the fourth character An effect that any one of the characters appears is executed. An effect that any one of the first to fourth characters appears corresponds to a specific effect. That is, the specific effect performed when the space effect system is performed is performed with the content in which the character appears. In the present embodiment, the effects in which the first to fourth characters appear are effects that are executed only when the effect system of the specific effect is the "space effect system", and other effect systems. Sometimes not run.

  Then, in the space rendering system, among the first character to the fourth character, one character appears in one fluctuation cycle, and a different character appears in each fluctuation cycle. Also, the type of character appearing in the fluctuation cycle when it is a space rendering system is randomly determined. As the method of “determining randomly”, for example, a method of determining by lottery, or a method of determining by determining a pattern in which the type and the order of the appearing characters are determined can be considered. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when it is a space effect system, the types of characters appearing in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect are randomly determined from among the first to fourth characters. And, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, when it is a space effect system, the types of characters appearing in the third and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect have already appeared among the first to fourth characters. It is determined by lottery from among the characters excluding the existing characters. By the way, when any character among the first character to the fourth character appears in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect when it is the space effect system, the fluctuation cycle from the next onwards for the character that has already appeared Will continue to appear. For example, when the fourth character appears in the second fluctuation cycle, the fourth character continues to appear in the third fluctuation cycle, and any one of the first to third characters appears further .

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the space effect system, any one of the first to fourth characters appears The presentation is performed. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, in the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the effect that any one of the first to fourth characters appears is not executed. As described above, effects that can not be performed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect (effects that any of the first to fourth characters appear) can be performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. . Thus, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect and the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle (the first fluctuation cycle) before the second operation are different. As described above, it can be said that "the effect system of the specific effect is different" in the present embodiment corresponds to "it is different whether any of the first character to the fourth character appears".

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one, a specific effect may be executed in the fluctuation cycles. At this time, the effect system of the specific effect is one of the land effect system, the river effect system, the sea effect system, and the sky effect system. In addition, when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed is one, in the present embodiment, when the fluctuation pattern HP1 is determined, the fluctuation pattern HP2 is determined, and This is when the fluctuation pattern HP6 is determined. In addition, when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one, and when the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycles, the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect It can also be understood that it is one time. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the specific effect is executed in the variation cycle even if the number of variation cycles is one when one special symbol variation game is being executed. It is possible.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is controlled so as to be able to execute advance notice effects. There are a plurality of types of advance notice effects in the present embodiment. Specifically, in the notice effect in the present embodiment, the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the third notice effect, the fourth notice effect, the fifth notice effect, the sixth notice effect, and the sixth notice effect There are a total of nine types, including seven preliminary announcement effects, an eighth preliminary announcement effect, and a ninth preliminary announcement effect.

  For example, as the type of preview effect, an effect is developed in response to the operation of the operation button BT (button advance effect) or an effect in which the effect is gradually developed with the passage of time (step-up advance effect) And the effect (comment notice effect) commented by the character who appeared. Note that among the types of button advance effects, for example, effects (button continuous hit effects) in which the effects are developed by operating the operation button BT multiple times, and the operation button BT for a predetermined period of time are listed as the types of advance effects. There are effects such as effects in which effects are developed by being operated (button-long-press effects), effects in which effects are developed by operating the operation button BT once (button operation effects), and the like. Further, among the types of button operation effects, as the type of advance effect effect, effects that an item appears triggered by the operation of the operation button BT, effects that the character operates with the operation of the operation button BT triggered, There is an effect that the decoration lamp 17 emits light when the operation button BT is operated.

  In addition, for example, as the type of advance notice effect, there is an effect that the character that has appeared operates. Further, as the types of preview effects, there are preview effects performed in the effect display device 25, preview effects performed in the decoration lamp 17, and preview effects performed in the speaker 18. Further, the type of notice effect may be different depending on the combination of the effect devices of the decoration lamp 17, the speaker 18 and the effect display device 25 in which the notice effect is performed. Further, as the types of advance notice effects, when the effect movable body is provided, there are effects in which the effect movable body operates, effects in which the effect movable body emits light, and the like.

  In the present embodiment, even when the same type of advance notice effect is executed, when the effect system is different, the display content of the effect display device 25 is different because the effect motif is different. For example, the case where the comment notice effect is executed when the system is a river effect system and the case where the comment advance effect is performed when the system is an earth effect system are compared. When a comment notice effect is executed in any of the river effect system and the earth effect system, it is common in terms of the effect that the appearing character comments on, while the character (for example, river fish) that appears when it is the river effect system Characters (for example, ethnic groups) that appear when being an earth effect system are different. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, all of the advance notice effects (for example, the image displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25) are the same even if the types of the advance notice effects are the same. Not necessarily. The same type of notice effect is equivalent to the fact that a part of the notice effect is the same, and the form of the notice effect (for example, in the case of the comment notice effect, the form in which the appearing character makes a comment) Is equivalent to being identical.

  Moreover, there are a plurality of types of effect contents in the advance notice effect of this embodiment. The type of the preview effect and the type of the contents of the preview effect are different. For example, when suggesting or notifying that a big hit will be made by the preliminary production, the degree of expectation (so-called, big hit expectation) for becoming a big hit can be made different depending on the contents of the production of the preliminary production. In this case, the advance notice effect corresponds to an effect that indicates or notifies whether or not to be a big hit. In addition, when it is suggested or notified that the advantageous state such as the high probability state or the high base state is to be obtained by the preliminary presentation effect, the advantageous content such as the high probability state or the high base state may be obtained depending on the contents of the preliminary presentation effect. The degree of expectation of can be different. In this case, the advance notice effect corresponds to an effect that indicates or notifies that an advantageous state is to be achieved. Note that the advance presentation effect may be an effect that suggests or notifies that a big hit will be made, and may be an effect that suggests or notifies that it is an advantageous state.

  In the present embodiment, the types of preview effects that can be performed and the types of preview effects that can not be performed differ depending on the rendering system. And in this embodiment, when specific production is performed, the kind of notice production performed according to a production system differs.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the case of “land production system”, among the first to ninth preview effects, the first to fourth preview effects are the types of preview effects that can be executed. Become. On the other hand, in the case of the "land effect system", the fifth to ninth advance notice effects are the types of the non-executable advance notice effects. In addition, in the case of the “river production system”, types of the first preview production to the first preview production to the third preview production and the fifth preview production of the first preview production to the ninth preview production are executable. It becomes. On the other hand, in the case of the “river production system”, the fourth preview production and the sixth to ninth preview effects are the types of the non-executable preview effects. In addition, in the case of "sea effect system", the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the fourth notice effect and the sixth notice effect of the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are executed. It becomes a kind of possible notice effects. On the other hand, in the case of the “sea effect system”, the third notice effect, the fifth notice effect and the seventh notice effect to the ninth notice effect become types of unforeseeable notice effects. In addition, in the case of “the sky effect system”, the first notice effect, the second notice effect, the fifth notice effect and the sixth notice effect of the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are executed. It becomes a kind of possible notice effects. On the other hand, in the case of “the sky effect system”, the third notice effect, the fourth notice effect and the seventh notice effect to the ninth notice effect are types of unforeseeable notice effects.

  Thus, the "land effect system", the "river effect system", the "sea effect system", and the "sky effect system" which are the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed In common, the first preview effect and the second preview effect can be executed in advance. On the other hand, “Land effect system”, “River effect system”, and “Sea effect system” which become the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle which can be the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle Even in the case of “the sky effect system”, some of the types of preview effects that can be performed differ depending on the effect system. The types of advance notice effects executed in the first variation cycle are the first notice effect to the sixth notice effect. The "first variation cycle" means, of course, the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, but the number of variation cycles when one special game is being executed is one in the variation cycle. It is an intention to include a fluctuation cycle when a specific rendition is performed.

  In addition, in the case of the "earth effect system", the second notice effect and the seventh notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect become the types of the notice effects that can be executed. On the other hand, in the case of the "Earth production system", the types of the first preview production, the third preview production to the sixth preview production, the eighth preview production and the ninth preview production can not be performed. Become. Further, in the case of the “space effect system”, the second notice effect and the eighth notice effect among the first notice effect to the ninth notice effect are the types of the notice effects that can be executed. On the other hand, in the case of the “space effect system”, the first notice effect, the third notice effect to the seventh notice effect and the ninth notice effect are types of unforeseeable notice effects.

  As described above, in "Earth production system" and "Space performance system", which are the production systems of specific effects to be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, the second preview production can be executed in common with "Earth production system" and "Space performance system" Become. On the other hand, even with "Earth production system" and "Space performance system", which are the production systems for specific effects to be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, some of the types of advance notice effects that can be performed by the production system are It is different. The types of advance notice effects performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles are the second notice effect, the seventh notice effect, and the eighth notice effect.

  As described above, the type of notice effect performed in the first variation cycle when the specific effect is executed is "first notice effect to sixth notice effect", and the second and subsequent change cycles The types of advance notice effects to be executed in are the “second advance notice effect, the seventh advance notice effect and the eighth advance notice effect”. As described above, the type of the notice effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles is different from the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the second time. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of preview effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is the type of preview effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of times. And some are different. In addition, the type of the notice effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles may be configured to be all different from the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the second time. In this case, the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of times.

  In the first fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed, the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed is one, and the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle The fluctuation cycle is also included. Therefore, the type of advance notice effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed, and the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle It can be said that it is different from the type of preview effect that is performed when. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is of the fluctuation cycle when one special symbol fluctuation game is executed. The number of times is one and the type is different from the type of advance notice effect performed when the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle. The type of notice effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is being executed, and the specific effect is executed in the fluctuation cycle. It may be configured to be all different from the type of preview effect to be performed at the time. In this case, the type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special symbol fluctuation game is executed, and the fluctuation The type is different from the type of preview effect performed when the specific effect is performed in the cycle.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 corresponds to the type of notice effect in which “first notice effect to sixth notice effect” is executed in the first variation cycle when the specific effect is executed, but the first notice The third effect and the third to sixth advance effects are the types of advance effects not executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles. As described above, the type of unpredictable advance effect in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the type of preview effect that can be performed in the fluctuation cycle before the second. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, although the “second notice effect, the seventh notice effect and the eighth notice effect” are performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, this corresponds to the type of notice effect performed, but the seventh The advance notice effect and the eighth advance notice effect are the types of advance notice effects that are not executed in the first variation cycle when the specific effect is executed. As described above, the type of preliminary rendering effect that can not be performed in the fluctuation cycle prior to the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is the type of preview production that can be performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute advance notice effects even when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one and the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycles. It is done. Then, when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one and the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle, the first of the first preliminary announcement effects to the ninth preliminary announcement effects The second notice effect, the second notice effect, and the ninth notice effect become the types of the notice effects that can be performed. On the other hand, if the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one and the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle, the third to eighth preliminary effects can not be executed. It becomes a kind of advance notice production. In FIG. 6, "when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one and no specific effect is performed in the fluctuation cycle" is indicated as "no specific effect".

  When the specific effect is performed, the first to eighth preliminary effects are the preliminary effects to be performed. On the other hand, when the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed is one and the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle, the first preview effect, the second preview effect, and The ninth preview effect is the preview effect to be executed. As described above, the type of advance notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle when the specific effect is executed is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed, and the fluctuation cycle is one. This is different from the type of notice effect performed when the specific effect is not performed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment, the type of advance notice effect performed in the change cycle when the specific effect is performed is the number of change cycles when one special symbol change game is performed. This is partially different from the type of advance notice effect to be executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. The type of advance notice effect executed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed, It may be configured to be all different from the type of preview effect performed when the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle. In this case, the type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special symbol fluctuation game is executed. That is, all types are different from the type of advance notice effect to be executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle.

  Therefore, the type of advance notice effect performed in the first change cycle when the specific effect is performed is that the number of change cycles is one when one special game is performed, and the change cycle is The type is different from the type of notice effect performed when the specific effect is not performed. That is, the type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle (the first fluctuation cycle) before the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed. Is different from the type of preview effect performed when the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of advance notice effect executed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is that one special symbol fluctuation game is executed. When the number of fluctuation cycles at one time is one and the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle, the type and the type of the preliminary effect performed are different.

  Further, the type of advance notice effect executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed, and the specific effect in the fluctuation cycle is Different from the type of notice effect performed when is not performed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is of the fluctuation cycle when one special symbol fluctuation game is executed. This is partially different from the type of preview effect performed when the number of times is one and the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle. The type of notice effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is being executed, and the specific effect in the fluctuation cycle is performed. It may be configured to be all different from the type of preview effect to be performed when is not performed. In this case, the type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special symbol fluctuation game is executed, and the fluctuation The type of the notice effect to be performed when the specific effect is not performed in the cycle is all different.

Furthermore, it is assumed that "sea rendition system" is determined as an effect system of a specific effect executed in a fluctuation cycle (first fluctuation cycle) prior to the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. In addition, it is assumed that “Space production system” is determined as the effect contents of the specific effect to be executed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect.

Shall be executed by

  As shown in FIG. 7A, when the execution of the special game is started, the effect symbols of all the rows are variably displayed, and the execution of the effect game is started. As the premise, since the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is the “sea effect system”, the effect display device 25 displays a background image of the sea. At this time, the background music of the sea is output from the speaker 18. In addition, as it is premised, in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendition, the second notice rendition is executed. For example, the character image TG having a turtle motif is displayed, and the second preview effect is executed with the content that the character having the turtle motif makes a comment. FIG. 7A shows a second preview effect performed with the content that a character having a turtle motif as a comment “comments might be a big hit”. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), with the end of the first variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the effect symbols of all the rows are temporarily displayed in a stopped state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is started, the effect symbols of all the rows are variably displayed. As the premise, since the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the “space effect system”, the effect display device 25 displays a background image of the space. At this time, the background music of the universe is output from the speaker 18. Further, as premised, in the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the effect display device 25 displays the character image CG1 indicating the first character, and the first character appears. And, as premised, in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendition, the second notice rendition is executed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), with the end of the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the effect symbols of all the rows are temporarily stopped and displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (e), when the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is started, the effect symbols of all the rows are variably displayed. As the premise, since the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the “space effect system”, the background image of the space is displayed on the effect display device 25. At this time, the background music of the universe is output from the speaker 18. In addition, since the background image of the universe is displayed in the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering, the background image of the universe is continuously displayed in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering from the second variation cycle. It will be. Similarly, since the background music of the universe is output in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering, the background music of the universe is continuously output in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering from the second fluctuation cycle. Ru.

  Further, as premised, in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the effect display device 25 displays the character image CG2 indicating the second character, and the second character appears. At this time, the character image CG1 showing the first character appearing in the second variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is continuously displayed on the effect display device 25.

FIG. 7E shows an eighth preview effect performed with the content that the second character performs a piece sign operation. After that, as shown in FIG. 7 (f), with the end of the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the effect symbols of all the lines are temporarily displayed on stop.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (g), when the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is started, the effect symbols of all the rows are variably displayed. Incidentally, in FIGS. 7A to 7H, the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect corresponds to the final variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect.

  As the premise, since the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the “space effect system”, the background image of the space is displayed on the effect display device 25. At this time, the background music of the universe is output from the speaker 18. In addition, since the background image of the universe is displayed in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering, the background image of the universe is continuously displayed in the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering from the third variation cycle. It will be. Similarly, since the background music of the universe is output in the third variation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering, the background music of the universe is continuously output in the fourth variation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendering from the third variation cycle. Ru.

  Further, as premised, in the fourth variation cycle of the pseudo continuous effect, the effect display device 25 displays the character image CG3 indicating the third character, and the third character appears. At this time, a character image CG1 showing the first character appearing in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect and a character image CG2 showing the second character appearing in the third fluctuation cycle are continuously displayed on the effect display device 25. Be done. And, as premised, in the fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous rendition, the second notice rendition is executed. FIG. 7 (g) shows a second preliminary presentation effect executed with the content that the third character comments “superheat”. After that, as shown in FIG. 7 (h), in the fourth variation cycle corresponding to the final variation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the display mode of the effect pattern becomes the reach mode, and the reach effect is executed.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The effect system of the specific effect performed in the second (specific number of times) or subsequent fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle and It is different. In this way, even with the same pseudo continuous effect, making the effect system of the specific effect different from the second fluctuation cycle makes it more interesting than the case where the same effect is repeated repetitively, and improves the interest Can be In addition, since the effect system of the specific effect is different after the second fluctuation cycle, it is possible to experience the effect system of various specific effects in one special game and improve the interest.

  (2) The effect system of the specific effect performed in the second (specific number of times) or subsequent fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is specified in the fluctuation cycle before the second (specific number of) fluctuation cycle There are few kinds compared with the production system of production. Therefore, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect reaches the specific number, the types of the effect system of the specific effect decrease, and the types of effect system of the specific effect are integrated.

  In general, the larger the number of fluctuation cycles, the higher the jackpot expectation. Also, in pachinko machines, in general, the probability of becoming a big hit is significantly higher than the probability of becoming a big hit. Therefore, the number of fluctuation cycles does not reach a specific number, and thus the number of fluctuation cycles does not reach a specific number, rather than the chance that the number of fluctuation cycles reaches a specific number. As described above, since the number of fluctuation cycles does not reach the specific number more often, it is possible to increase the number of types of effect systems for specific effects in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles. Specific effects of the various effect systems are executed, and it is possible to improve interest while suppressing boredom. On the other hand, since the number of times of the fluctuation cycle is less likely to reach the specific number, if the types of specific effects in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times are increased, what is the specific effect of the presentation system experienced first It can not be grasped, it can not enjoy the specific effect sufficiently, and it may be difficult to improve the interest. For this reason, by reducing the type of the effect system of the specific effect in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number, it becomes easy to enjoy the specific effect in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number, and it is possible to easily improve the interest.

  As described above, the number of fluctuation cycles is not limited by increasing the number of types of effect systems for specific effects, but by reducing the types of effect systems for specific effects at the specific number of fluctuation cycles of the pseudo continuous effect. It is possible to effectively improve the interest in any of the case where the number of times of variation cycle has not reached the specific number of times and the number of times of variation cycles having reached the specific number of times.

  (3) The type of notice effect performed in the second (specific number of times) or subsequent fluctuation cycle of the pseudo continuous effect is one of the type of the advance effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the specified number of fluctuation cycles. Department is different. For this reason, since a change arises also in the kind of preliminary production in addition to the production | presentation system of a specific production, the improvement of interest can be aimed at. Then, the degree of attention that the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect reaches the specific number can be increased, and the interest can be improved.

  (4) The type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle prior to the second (specific number of times) fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed. This is partially different from the type of advance notice effect to be executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. As a result, there may be a case where advance notice of a type different from the fluctuation cycle is executed than the fluctuation cycle of the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect, so even if the specific effect is not executed, Change, and the interest can be improved.

  (5) The type of advance notice effect executed in the second (specific number of times) or subsequent fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed. The type differs from the type of advance notice effect performed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. As a result, there may be a case in which a different kind of advance notice effect is executed from the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect, so even if the specific effect is not executed, there is a change in the type of advance notice effect. It can be generated and the interest can be improved.

  (6) A specification that is impossible to perform in the fluctuation cycle prior to the second (specific number of times) fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, but becomes executable in the second (specific number of times) and subsequent fluctuation cycles. The production elements of the production were made different. As described above, since the effect not executed is executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect reaches the specific number, the variation of the effect is further increased, and the fluctuation is unnaturally It is more interesting than when the cycle is repeated, and it is possible to improve the interest.

  (7) The background image displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25 in the second (specific number of times) fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is in the effect display device 25 in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle. This is different from the background image displayed in the display area 25r of. Thereby, it can be made to grasp that the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect has reached the specific number by the background image displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25.

  (8) The background music output from the speaker 18 in the second (specific number of times) fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the background music output from the speaker 18 in the fluctuation cycle before the second fluctuation cycle . Thereby, it can be made to grasp that the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect has reached the specific number by the background music outputted from the speaker 18.

  (9) The effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. Thereby, in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the specific effect is executed in the effect system different from the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, so that the effect system in the specific effect changes in the second fluctuation cycle. It becomes easy for the player to grasp that the pseudo continuous effect is being executed.

  (10) The effect system of the specific effect performed in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the effect system of the specific effect performed in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. Therefore, the specific effect is executed in the effect system in the second and subsequent fluctuation cycles, so that the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect has reached two times (or the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is 2 It becomes easier for the player to grasp that the game is played more than once. As described above, it is possible to suggest the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous rendition by the change of the rendition system, to increase the degree of attention to the specific rendition, and to improve the interest.

The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
-In the above embodiment, the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is the type and all of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number. It may be configured differently. In this case, in addition to the effect system of the specific effect, a change occurs in the type of the advance effect, so that it is possible to improve the interest. In addition, the degree of interest in the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect reaching the specific number can be increased, and the interest can be improved. Further, in the above embodiment, the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is different from the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number. You don't have to. That is, the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect may be the same as the type of the notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number. .

  In the above embodiment, the type of notice effect performed in the fluctuation cycle prior to the specified number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed is one. It may be configured to be different from the type of the notice effect to be executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle and the number of times is different. In this case, since a notice effect of a type different from the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is executed, even if the specific effect is not executed, the notice effect Changes in the type of In the above embodiment, the type of advance notice effect executed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed. It does not have to be different from the type of advance notice effect to be executed when the specific effect is not executed in the fluctuation cycle. That is, the type of advance notice effect executed in the fluctuation cycle prior to the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed. It may be the same as the type of notice effect performed when the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle.

  In the above embodiment, the type of advance notice effect executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed. All types may be configured to be different from the types of preview effects performed when the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle. In this case, since a different kind of advance notice effect is executed from the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect, even if the specific effect is not executed, there is a change in the type of advance notice effect. It can be generated and the interest can be improved. In the above embodiment, the type of advance notice effect executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is that the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed. It does not have to be different from the type of notice effect performed when the specific effect is not performed in the fluctuation cycle. That is, the type of advance notice effect executed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is specified in the fluctuation cycle when the number of fluctuation cycles is one when one special game is executed. It may be the same as the type of preview effect performed when the effect is not performed.

  The effect that can not be performed in the fluctuation cycle before the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect may be the effect that can not be performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect. In addition, an effect that can not be performed in a fluctuation cycle after a specific number of times in a pseudo continuous effect may be an effect that can not be performed in a fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle in a specific number of times in a pseudo continuous effect.

  -The type of the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is different in the type of the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number On the other hand, the number of each type may be the same. Moreover, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number of times in the pseudo continuous effect is compared to the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number, There may be many types.

In the case where the types of the preliminary effects are the same, all the preliminary effects (for example, the images displayed in the display area 25r of the effect display device 25) may be the same.
In the above embodiment, one or more of the effects for displaying the background image, the effects for outputting the background music, and the effects for which any one of the first to fourth characters appears may be specified as the specific effect. Good. Further, the specific effect does not have to be the effect of displaying a background image, the effect of outputting background music, or the effect of any one of the first to fourth characters appearing in the above embodiment. For example, an effect displaying a predetermined effect image in the effect display device 25 may be set as a specific effect, and different effect images may be displayed according to the effect system. Further, the effect of emitting the decorative lamp 17 may be specified as a specific effect, and the decorative lamp 17 may be configured to emit light in different emission modes (for example, different emission colors) according to the effect system.

  In the embodiment, the background image may be displayed even when the specific effect is not performed. At this time, a background image different from the background image displayed according to the effect system (for example, a background image capable of specifying the gaming state or a background image capable of specifying the effect mode) may be displayed. . When configured in this manner, an effect that displays a background image displayed according to the effect system among the background images corresponds to a specific effect. That is, in the above embodiment, the effect of displaying the background image of land, the effect of displaying the background image of the river, the effect of displaying the background image of the sea, the effect of displaying the background image of the sky, the background image of the earth The effect to be displayed and the effect to display the background image of the space correspond to the specific effect. And it can be said that an effect that displays a background image different from the background image displayed according to the effect system does not correspond to a specific effect.

  In the above embodiment, the background music may be output even when the specific effect is not performed. At this time, background music different from the background music output according to the effect system (for example, background music capable of specifying the game state or background music capable of specifying the effect mode) may be output. . When configured in this manner, an effect that outputs background music that is output according to the effect system among the background music corresponds to a specific effect. That is, in the above embodiment, the effect of outputting the background music of the land, the effect of outputting the background music of the river, the effect of outputting the background music of the ocean, the effect of outputting the background music of the sky, the background music of the earth The effect to be output and the effect to output the background music of the space correspond to the specific effect. And it can be said that an effect that outputs background music different from the background music output according to the effect system does not correspond to a specific effect.

  ・ When the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is three or more, the effect system of the specific effect executed in the third and subsequent fluctuation cycles is a fluctuation cycle before the third fluctuation cycle (the first and second fluctuation cycles It may be different from the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second fluctuation cycle). In this case, "three times" corresponds to the specific number of times. Similarly, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is four or more, the effect system of the specific effect executed in the fourth and subsequent fluctuation cycles has a fluctuation cycle before the fourth fluctuation cycle (the first It may be different from the effect system of the specific effect performed in the third to third variation cycles). In this case, "four times" corresponds to the specific number of times. As described above, the fluctuation cycle serving as the specified number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect may not be the second fluctuation cycle as in the above embodiment. In the above embodiment, the “fourth fluctuation cycle in pseudo continuous effect” is when the number of fluctuation cycles in pseudo continuous effect is “the maximum number (4 times) that can be taken as the number of fluctuation cycles in pseudo continuous effect”. It corresponds to the final fluctuation cycle. Therefore, the specific number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is the final number of times when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is "the maximum number of times (can be taken as the number of fluctuation cycles in pseudo continuous effect"). It may be a variable cycle.

  In the above embodiment, for example, if the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect and the effect system of the specific effect performed in the third change cycle in the pseudo continuous effect are different, for example You may Furthermore, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect may be different from the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. As described above, the effect system of the specific effect performed in each fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect may be made different. In this case, it is easy for the player to grasp how many fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect are being performed by the effect system of the specific effect. As described above, the specific effect may be an effect of informing the change cycle of what number of times in the pseudo continuous effect. For example, the specific effect is executed in blue in the first fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, the specific effect is executed in yellow in the second fluctuation cycle, and the specific effect is executed in green in the third fluctuation cycle, and the fourth The specific effect may be configured to be executed in red in the fluctuation cycle of. At this time, the difference in the color of the specific effect corresponds to the difference in the effect system of the specific effect, and it is possible to specify from the color of the specific effect the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of attention to the effect system of the specific effect, and to improve the interest.

  Moreover, when it comprises as mentioned above, rather than the production | presentation system of the specific production performed in the 1st fluctuation cycle in pseudo | simulation continuous production, of the production | production system of the specific production performed in the 2nd fluctuation cycle in pseudo | simulation continuous production The number of types may be smaller. Furthermore, the type of the effect system of the specific effect performed in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect is smaller than the effect system of the specific effect performed in the second fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect. You may configure it. In addition, the production system of the specific effect performed in the fourth fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect has fewer types than the effect system of the specific effect performed in the third fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect You may configure it. As described above, as the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect increases, the type of the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle may be reduced.

  The jackpot expectation may be configured to be different depending on the type of the character that appeared in the specific effect when the effect system of the specific effect is a space effect system. For example, even if the fourth character appears, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when any of the first character, the second character, and the third character appears. Good. Furthermore, when the third character appears, the jackpot expectation may be higher than when any of the first character and the second character appears. In addition, when the second character appears, the jackpot expectation may be configured to be higher than when the first character appears. That is, the relationship between the height of the jackpot expectation according to the type of character appearing when the effect system of the specific effect is the space effect system is “first character <second character <third character <fourth character”. It may be in a relationship of When configured in this manner, when it is a space rendering system, attention can be paid to the type of characters that appear and the interest can be improved. Thus, the specific effect may be an effect that suggests or informs that a big hit will be made. Then, in the case where the specific effect for suggesting or notifying that it will be a big hit is configured to be executable, the degree of attention of the player for the specific effect can be increased, and the interest can be improved more effectively.

  -Regarding the determination of the variation pattern, for example, even in the case of a big hit, the type of variation pattern to be determined or the determination rate of various variation patterns may be different according to the type of the big hit. That is, the variation pattern may be determined based on the type of the big hit. In addition, the type of variation pattern to be determined or the determination rate of various variation patterns may be made different according to the type of special game (according to the starting opening on which the game ball enters). That is, the variation pattern may be determined based on the type of the special game (the starting opening at which the game ball enters). Further, the type of variation pattern to be determined or the determination rate of various variation patterns may be varied according to the gaming state. That is, the variation pattern may be determined based on the gaming state. For example, it is configured such that a fluctuation pattern in which the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is executed is a plurality of times is determined only in the low probability state and the low base state. You may When configured in this manner, the pseudo continuous effect is performed only in the low probability state and the low base state. As described above, the pseudo continuous effect may be executed according to the game state.

  The jackpot expectation may be configured to increase as the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect increases. For example, when a big hit lottery is won (in the case of a big hit), a variation pattern associated with a large number of fluctuation cycles is determined as compared to a case where the big hit lottery is not won (in the case of outfall) It may be configured to be easy. Here, "the number of fluctuation cycles is large" means, for example, that "three times" or "four times" is "one time" when the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is "four times". It can be said that the number of fluctuation cycles is larger than “two times”. As described above, in the case of configuring the jackpot expectation to increase as the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect increases, the jackpot expectation is such that the fluctuation cycle is repeated when one special game is executed. The degree can be increased and the interest can be improved. In particular, even if the normal reach effect is performed in the middle of the fluctuation cycle, the interest in the special symbol being temporarily stopped and displayed in the middle row in the normal reach effect can be enhanced to improve the interest.

  The number of fluctuation cycles does not have to be associated with the fluctuation pattern. For example, the number of fluctuation cycles when one special game is being executed may be determined by the sub control CPU 41a. . For example, the sub control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of fluctuation cycles based on the fluctuation pattern designated by the fluctuation pattern designation command. For example, the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles when the special game is being executed may be associated with the fluctuation pattern, and the sub control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of fluctuation cycles with the upper limit number as the upper limit.

  -When the production symbols of all the lines are temporarily displayed in the middle of the fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production, the symbol combination by the production design which is temporarily displayed only in the middle of the fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous production is displayed temporarily It may be configured as follows. Here, “a symbol combination by a production symbol that is temporarily displayed only for a fluctuation cycle in a pseudo continuous production, is not displayed is not a production symbol that constitutes a symbol combination by a production symbol derived in a production game. It may be a symbol combination by a production symbol including (special symbol).

  -It does not have to be configured so that the display symbols of all the rows are temporarily stopped in the fluctuation cycle in the middle in the pseudo continuous effect, for example, some of the effect symbols in the all rows are stopped You may comprise so that it may be comprised so that the production | presentation pattern of all the lines may be changed and displayed without being stopped and displayed once. In the middle of the fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect, when it is configured so that the display design of all the rows is displayed without being displayed temporarily and then the fluctuation display is continued, the production symbols of all the columns will be continuously displayed being changed over the fluctuation cycle. . When it is configured to continuously display the production symbols of all the rows across the fluctuation cycle, it is not necessary to pay attention to the display symbols that are temporarily displayed once stopped, so it is possible to play other effects such as specific effects or advance effects. It becomes easy to aim the attention of the person, and it becomes easy to aim at the improvement of the interest by execution of other productions such as specific production and advance notice production.

  -In the above-mentioned embodiment, it can also be grasped that the production | generation system of the preliminary production performed in a fluctuation cycle differs by changing the kind of preliminary production performed in a fluctuation cycle. That is, the advance notice effect in the above embodiment can also be regarded as a specific effect. Even in the case of capturing as described above, the effect system of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle after the specific number is the effect of the specific effect performed in the fluctuation cycle before the fluctuation cycle of the specific number. Different from the lineage.

  The number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect may not be associated with the fluctuation pattern. For example, during a special game based on the same fluctuation pattern, both the case where the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is two and the case where the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is three can be created You may configure it. For example, the sub control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect based on the change pattern determined by the main control CPU 40a. In this case, the sub control CPU 41a may be configured to determine the number of change cycles in the pseudo continuous effect by determining the sub change pattern determined by the sub control CPU 41a. The fluctuation pattern is associated with the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect, and sub-controls the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect from the range up to the upper limit number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect You may comprise so that CPU41a may determine.

  -Even if it is a case where pseudo continuous production is performed in the above-mentioned embodiment, it may constitute so that reach production may not be performed. For example, when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is two, the reach effect may not be executed, but when the number of fluctuation cycles in the pseudo continuous effect is three or more, the reach effect is executed. You may

The upper limit number of the fluctuation cycle in the pseudo continuous effect may not be four as in the above embodiment, and may be three, five, or six, for example.
