The random numbers used to control the progress of the game are also called game random numbers. The gaming random number may be updated by hardware such as the random number circuit 104 or may be updated by software when the CPU 103 of the gaming control microcomputer 100 executes a predetermined computer program. May be For example, a random counter provided in a predetermined area (such as a game control counter setting unit) of the RAM 102 in the game control microcomputer 100 or a random counter provided in an internal register separate from the RAM 102 indicates a predetermined random number. The random number value may be updated by storing numerical data and updating the stored value periodically or irregularly by the CPU 103.

  The ROM 101 of the microcomputer 100 for game control stores various selection data, table data, and the like used to control the progress of the game, in addition to the program for game control. For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables, and the like prepared for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings. Further, in the ROM 101, table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for transmitting control signals as various control commands from the main substrate 11 by the CPU 103, and a fluctuation pattern table storing plural kinds of fluctuation patterns are constituted. Table data etc. are stored. Various data used to control the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is temporarily stored in the RAM 102 included in the game control microcomputer 100 in a rewritable manner.

  The effect control board 12 includes an effect control CPU 120 that performs control operations according to a program, a ROM 121 that stores effect control programs, fixed data, and the like, a RAM 122 that provides a work area for the effect control CPU 120, and an image display device 5, a random number circuit 124 for executing processing for determining control contents of the display operation in 5, and the like, the random number circuit 124 for updating numerical data indicating random numbers independently of the effect control CPU 120, and I / O 125 And is mounted.

  As an example, the effect control board 12 executes a program for effect control read out from the ROM 121 by the effect control CPU 120 to execute a process for controlling the effect operation by the effect electric component. At this time, a fixed data read operation in which the effect control CPU 120 reads out fixed data from the ROM 121, a change data write operation in which the effect control CPU 120 writes various change data in the RAM 122 and temporarily stores them, and the effect control CPU 120 in the RAM 122 Fluctuation data read operation to read out various fluctuation data temporarily stored, reception operation to receive various signal input from outside of the effect control board 12 via the I / O 125, the effect control CPU 120 to I / O for effect control CPU 120 A transmission operation of outputting various signals to the outside of the effect control board 12 via O125 is also performed.

  The effect control CPU 120, the ROM 121, and the RAM 122 may be included in a one-chip effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board 12. The effect control board 12 includes wiring for transmitting a video signal to the image display device 5 and wiring for transmitting a sound effect signal as an information signal indicating sound number data to the sound control board 13.

The wiring for transmitting the operation detection signal as an information signal which shows having detected the operation action of from the push sensor 35B is also connected.

  In the effect control board 12, for example, numerical data indicating various random number values used to control the effect operation is counted by the random number circuit 124 or the like in an updatable manner. The random number used to control such a rendering operation is also referred to as a rendering random number.

  The ROM 121 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 2 stores various data tables and the like used to control the rendering operation, in addition to the program for effect control. For example, in the ROM 121, a plurality of determination tables prepared to make various determinations, determinations, and settings by the effect control CPU 120, table data forming the determination tables, pattern data forming the various effect control patterns, etc. It is memorized. The RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 stores various data used to control the effect operation.

  The display control unit 123 mounted on the effect control board 12 determines the control content of the display operation in the image display device 5 based on the display control instruction from the effect control CPU 120 and the like. For example, the display control unit 123 performs control for executing variable display of decorative symbols or various effect displays by determining the switching timing of the effect image to be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 or the like. As an example, the display control unit 121 may be equipped with a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), an LCD drive circuit, and the like.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a predetermined game using a game ball as a game medium is performed, and a predetermined game value can be provided based on the game result. As an example of the game using the game ball, the ball hitting operation handle 30 installed at the lower right of the front of the housing in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is hit by a predetermined operation (for example, a rotation operation) by the player. A game ball as a game medium is shot toward the game area by a shooting motor or the like provided in the shooting device. When the gaming ball having flowed down the gaming area passes (enters) the first starting winning opening (first starting area) formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the gaming ball is moved by the first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The first start condition is satisfied due to the detection or the like. Thereafter, based on the establishment of the first start condition, for example, due to the end of the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state, the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A starts Be done.

  In addition, when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening (second start area) formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball is detected by the second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. 2 As a result, the second start condition is satisfied. Thereafter, based on the establishment of the second start condition, for example, due to the end of the previous special drawing game or the big hit gaming state, the special drawing game using the second special drawing by the second special symbol display device 4B is started Be done. However, it is difficult or impossible for the game ball to pass through the second start winning opening when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normally open state or the closed state as the second variable state.

  Based on the fact that the game ball having passed through the passage gate 41 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2, a common drawing start condition for executing variable display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 20 is satisfied. Thereafter, based on the fact that the common drawing start condition for starting the variable display of the normal symbol is established, for example, that the previous common drawing game has ended, the common drawing game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. In this common-play game, after starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, when a predetermined time passes, the determined normal symbol as the variable display result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (common symbol per symbol) is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol is "per common symbol". On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the symbol in the common drawing is stopped and displayed as the determined normal symbol, the variable display result of the normal symbol becomes "general drawing lost". In response to the variable display result of the normal symbol becoming "per common figure", the open control and the enlargement open control are performed such that the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball device 6B is tilted. The closing control or the normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when the predetermined time has elapsed.

  When the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is started, or when the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is started It is determined (predetermined) before the variable display result is derived and displayed, whether or not the variable display result of the symbol is to be a "big hit" as a predetermined specific display result. Then, the variation pattern is determined at a predetermined ratio based on the determination of the variable display result, and the effect control command for designating the variable display result or the variation pattern is the microcomputer 100 for gaming control of the main substrate 11 shown in FIG. From the stage to the effect control board 12.

  After the special view game is started based on the determination of the variable display result and the variation pattern, for example, when a predetermined variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern has passed, a finalized special symbol to be a variable display result is derived. Is displayed. "Left", "Medium" and "Right" decorations arranged in the display area of the image display device 5 corresponding to variable display of special symbols by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B In the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, variable display of a decorative symbol (effect symbol) different from the special symbol is performed.

  In the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A, or in the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B, the finalized special display result of the special symbol When the symbol is derived and displayed, a finalized ornamental symbol as a variable display result of the decorative symbol is derived and displayed in the image display device 5. When the jackpot symbol predetermined as the variable display result of the special symbol is derived and displayed, the variable display result (special figure display result) becomes a "big hit" (specific display result), and it is a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. It is controlled to the jackpot gaming state. As the variable display result of the special symbol, the big hit symbol is not derived and displayed, and when the lost symbol is derived and displayed, the variable display result (special figure display result) becomes "loss".

  As an example, a special symbol indicating a number of "3" or "7" is a big hit symbol, and a special symbol indicating a symbol of "-" is a lost symbol. Each symbol such as a big hit symbol or lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A may be a special symbol different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. Also, the special symbol common to both of the special figure games may be a big hit symbol or a lost symbol. Moreover, the special symbol of the lighting pattern which has a specific meaning as a number or a symbol is not limited to what makes it a big hit symbol or a lost symbol, for example, a special symbol of any lighting pattern in 7 segment LED, a big hit symbol or a missing symbol It may be

  In the big hit game state, the big winning opening is opened and the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the first state advantageous to the player. Then, during a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or a period until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls enter the big winning opening and a winning ball is generated, the big winning opening is continuously opened. A round game is executed. In a period other than the execution period of such a round game, the special winning opening is closed, making it difficult or impossible to generate winning balls. When the gaming ball enters the big winning opening, the winning switch is detected by the count switch 23, and a predetermined number (for example, 14) of gaming balls are paid out as a winning ball each time the detection is made. The round game in the jackpot gaming state is repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15”) is reached.

  When the special figure display result is "big hit", the case where the big hit type becomes either "non-probability change" or "probability change" is included. For example, when the jackpot symbol indicating the number "3" is derived and displayed as the variable symbol result of the special symbol, the jackpot type becomes "non-probability change" and the jackpot symbol indicating the number "7" is jackpotted when the jackpot is displayed The type is "probable". When the jackpot type is "non-probability" or "probability", the special variable winning ball device 7 is set as the first state advantageous to the player (opening the big winning opening) as a round game in the jackpot gaming state. A normal open round is performed in which the upper limit time is relatively long (for example, 29 seconds). In addition, as a round game in the big hit gaming state, the short-term opening where the upper limit time to make the special variable winning prize ball device 7 the first state (the big winning a prize opening state) becomes a relatively short time (for example 0.1 seconds etc.) You may provide the big hit classification (for example, "probability" etc.) in which a round is performed. The jackpot gaming state in which the normal opening round is executed is also referred to as a first specific gaming state. The jackpot gaming state in which the short-term opening round is executed is also referred to as a second specific gaming state.

  After the jackpot gaming state ends, the probability that the variable display result will be the "big hit" (big hit probability) is controlled to the positive change state higher than the normal state based on the establishment of the predetermined probability change control condition There is. The definite change state is controlled so as to continue until a predetermined fixed change termination condition is satisfied, such as a predetermined number of variable displays being performed or a next big hit gaming state being started. Also, after the big hit gaming state ends, the average variable display time may be controlled to a short time state where it is shorter than the normal state. The time saving state is controlled so as to continue until one of the time saving end conditions is first established among the fact that the variable display of the predetermined number of times has been executed and that the next big hit gaming state is started. . As an example, when the jackpot type is "non-deterministic", after the jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state becomes a time saving state. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "probable change", after the big hit gaming state ends, the gaming state becomes the definite change state.

  In a positive change state or a short time state, the game ball can pass (enter) the second starting winning opening more easily than in the normal state. And the second variable state (closed state or normally open state). For example, control to shorten the variation time of the normal symbol (general figure variation time) in the regular game by the regular symbol display 20 than in the normal state or the variable display result of the regular symbol in each regular game Control to improve the probability of being “per-figure” than in normal condition, tilt control time to perform tilting control of movable wing in ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on the variable display result becoming “per-flat” Is changed to the first variable state and the second variable state in the advantageous change mode by the control to make the length of the ball longer than that in the normal state, and the control to increase the number of tilting times more than in the normal state. Just do it. Note that any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined and performed. As described above, control for changing the normally variable winning prize ball device 6B between the first variable state and the second variable state in the advantageous change mode is referred to as high open control (also referred to as "high base control"). By being controlled to such a definite change state or a short time state, the time required for the next variable display result to become a "big hit" is shortened, and a special game state which is more advantageous to the player than the normal state is attained.

  The game ball used as a game medium in pachinko gaming machine 1 and the record information of the score given corresponding to the number thereof have a valuable value which can be exchanged for a special prize or a general prize according to the quantity, for example Just do it. Alternatively, the recorded information of the gaming balls and the scores may not be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes, but may have a valuable value that can be used for playing the game again with the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  In "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in image display device 5, a special figure game using the first special figure in first special symbol display device 4A Among the special drawing games using the second special drawing in the second special symbol display device 4B, variable display of the decorative design is started in response to the start of one of the special drawing games. Then, a period from when variable display of the decorative symbol is started to when variable display is ended by stop display of the decorative symbol in each of the left, middle, and right decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. In some cases, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode.

  Here, with the reach mode, a decorative symbol ("reach variation symbol") that is not displayed in a stopped state when the decorative symbol stopped and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of a big hit combination The term “display mode” also refers to a display mode in which the fluctuation continues, or a display mode in which all or part of the decorative patterns are synchronously fluctuated while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R (for example, "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R) in advance The decorative pattern display area (for example, "inside") which is not displayed as stopped when the decorative pattern (for example, the decorative symbol showing "7" alphanumeric characters) constituting the defined big hit combination is stopped and displayed In the display mode in which the decorative pattern changes in the symbol display area 5C, etc., or the decorative pattern is a big hit in all or part of the decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" It is a display mode which is fluctuating synchronously while constituting all or a part of the combination.

  Also, in response to the reach mode, the variation speed of the decorative symbol is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person or the like) different from the decorative symbol is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. Or, by changing the display mode of the background image, reproducing and displaying a moving image different from the decorative pattern, or changing the fluctuation mode of the decorative pattern, a different rendering operation than before reaching the reach mode is executed. May be Such a rendering operation such as display of a character image or change in display mode of a background image, reproduction display of a moving image, or change in change mode of a decorative pattern is referred to as reach effect display (or simply reach effect display). In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the image display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speaker 8, the lighting operation (flickering operation) in the light emitter such as the decorative LEDs 10a and 10b, the air blowing operation by the fan 9, etc. May be included as an operation mode different from the previous operation mode to be the reach mode.

  As the rendering operation in the reach rendering, a plurality of types of rendering patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (rendering modes) may be prepared in advance. And according to the production | presentation aspect in each reach production, the possibility (it is also called "reliability" or "big hit reliability") changes with "big hit." That is, the possibility that the variable display result will be the "big hit" can be differentiated depending on which of the plurality of reach effects is executed. In this embodiment, as an example, reach effects such as normal, super A, and super B are set in advance. And, when the reach effect of the super reach such as the super A and the super B is executed, the variable display result may become "big hit" compared with the case where the normal reach effect is executed (big hit expectation) Becomes higher.

  Unlike the reach effect, for example, a predetermined effect image is displayed, an image display or sound output serving as a message, a lighting operation of the decorative LEDs 10a and 10b, or a predetermined effect model, during reach display. There is a possibility that, for example, the variable display state of the decorative symbol may reach the reach state by the effect operation different from the variable display operation of the decorative symbol such as the operation, or the reach effect by the super reach may be executed. A notice effect is given to notify the player in advance of the advantage of the game executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, such as that there is a possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit". There is a thing.

  The production operation to be the preview production is the variable display state of the decorative design after the variable display of the decorative design is started in all of the decorative design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" It is sufficient if it is performed (started) before (i.e., before the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in the "left" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L and 5R). In addition, the notice effect that notifies that the variable display result may become a "big hit" may include one that is executed after the variable display state of the decorative symbol is in the reach state. In this manner, the notice effect can be a big hit gaming state at a predetermined timing from when the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started to when the finalized special symbol or the fixed decorative symbol is derived as the variable display result. It should be something that can give notice of sex. A plurality of advance notice patterns are prepared in advance, corresponding to the contents (effect mode) of the effect operation in the case of executing such advance effect.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of types of advance notice effects such as “button advance notice” and “window advance notice” are set to be executable. The effect operation to be the advance effect effect may be any operation that does not cause a change in the variable display time of the special symbol depending on whether or not it is executed.

  When the advance notice effect to be "button advance" is executed, two or more decorative symbol display units (for example, "left" and "right" decorative symbol display units 5L, 5R are started after all symbol variation is started. A predetermined effect operation which is an effect during the effective period of operation is performed before the decorative symbol is derived and displayed at the like. During the operation effective period, for example, an effect that urges the player to operate the push button 31B by displaying an effect image such as a character image or a message image prepared in advance at a predetermined position on the display screen of the image display device 5, for example. It is sufficient if it is an operation. As described above, the effect during the operation valid period for prompting a predetermined operation (for example, the pressing operation of the push button 31B) by the player is also referred to as operation promotion effect.

  The effect operation for prompting a predetermined operation by the player is not limited to the one for displaying the effect image on the image display device 5, but one for causing the speaker 8 to output a predetermined sound, and the predetermined lighting pattern for the decorative LEDs 10 a and 10 b It may be lighted or blinked, a movable member provided in a model for effect provided in the game area or outside the game area operated in a predetermined operation mode, or a combination of any of these. .

  When the effect is performed during the operation effective period, it becomes an operation effective period in which the operation of the push button 31B or the like by the player is effectively detected. Then, when the pressing operation of the push button 31B by the player is detected within the operation valid period, the execution of the effect during the operation valid period is stopped at the timing when the operation is detected, Predetermined effect operation is performed. The effect at the time of button operation may be, for example, the possibility that the variable display result will be a "big hit" by displaying an effect image such as a character image or a message image prepared in advance at a predetermined position on the display screen of the image display device 5, etc. If it is the production | presentation operation | movement which warns so that recognition is possible. In this way, when a predetermined operation such as a pressing operation on the push button 31B is detected within the operation valid period, it is preferable if the effect mode can be changed by switching the effect during the operation valid period to the effect at the time of button operation .

  In the notice effect for "window notice", for example, a plurality of types of characters prepared in advance are shown at a predetermined timing after the operation effective period is started corresponding to the notice effect for "button notice". Among the effect images, an effect operation such as displaying one of the effect images on the display screen of the image display device 5 so as to appear in the window is performed. It should be noted that various effect operations such as displaying a message image for notifying a message from the character and outputting a predetermined sound for notifying a message from the speaker 8 are performed together with the display of a effect image indicating a character or the like. It is also good.

  When the special figure display result which is the variable display result of the special symbol in the special figure game is "big hit", a finalized decorative figure to be a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. As an example, if the jackpot type is "non-probability" or "probability", it is identical to the predetermined effective line in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" It is only necessary to derive and display a finalized decorative symbol to be a big hit combination by arranging and stopping and displaying the decorative symbols.

  When the special drawing display result is "loss", the decorative display forming the predetermined non-reach combination is stopped and displayed without the variable display mode of the decorative design being the reach mode, and the non-specific display result The fixed decoration design which becomes will be derived and displayed (non reach). In addition, when the special figure display result becomes “losing”, after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, the decorative pattern that constitutes a predetermined reach combination (also referred to as “reach losing combination”) is stopped and displayed By being done, the fixed decoration design which becomes non specific indication result may be derived and displayed (reach loss).

  Next, the structure details of the first decorative body 200 and the second decorative body 300 provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment and the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to which these decorative bodies are attached will be described.
