Yes. Further, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

  By the way, the game area 6 in which the game ball can flow can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side of the center in the left-right direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area is referred to as “left-handed”. On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k for firing the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is referred to as “right-handed”. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the flow path through which the game ball can flow when the game ball is fired with the left strike is referred to as a first flow path R1, and when the game ball is fired with the right strike, the game ball flows down. A possible flow path is referred to as a second flow path R2. The first flow path R1 and the second flow path R2 are also configured by a number of game nails and the like.

  A first start port 11 and two general winning ports 10 are provided on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the player can aim to win the first starting port 11 or the general winning port 10 by firing the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by left-handed. On the other hand, on the second flow path R2, a second start port 12, a gate 13, a first grand prize winning port 14, and a second major prize winning port 15 are provided. Therefore, the player fires the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by right-handed, thereby allowing the player to pass through the gate 13, the second start port 12, the first big winning port 14, or the second It is possible to aim for winning in the big winning opening 15.

  The game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings (the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the general winning opening 10, the first big winning opening 14, and the second big winning opening 15) It is guided to the outlet 19 and discharged. In addition, the number of winning balls by winning in each winning opening can be set as appropriate.

  An indicator 8 is arranged on the lower left side of the gaming area 6 formed on the front surface of the gaming board 1 (a part other than the gaming area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, on the display devices 8, a special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the special figure 1, a special figure 2 display 81b for variably displaying the special figure 2, and a universal figure are variably displayed. A universal display 82 is included. Further, the display unit 8 displays a special figure 1 hold display 83a for displaying a special figure 1 hold number, which will be described later (U1: the number in which the variable display of the special figure 1 by the special figure 1 display 81a is held), Also included is a special figure 2 hold display 83b for displaying a special figure 2 hold number (U2: the number of the variable display of the special figure 2 by the special figure 2 display 81b being held) which will be described later.

  The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball in the first start port 11. The variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball at the second start port 12. In the following description, special figure 1 and special figure 2 are collectively referred to as special figure, and special figure 1 lottery and special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as special figure lottery. The special figure display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are collectively referred to as a special figure display 81. Further, the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b are collectively referred to as a special figure hold indicator 83.

  The special figure variable display notifies the result of the special figure lottery. In the special figure variable display, the special figure is variably displayed and then stopped. A special figure to be stopped (a special figure derived and displayed as a stop special figure or a variable display result) is one special figure selected from a plurality of types of special figures by special drawing lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special figure (a special figure of a specific stop mode, that is, a jackpot symbol), the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 and the second big prize opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is played.

  The special figure display 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special figure corresponding to the result of the special figure lottery according to the lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a jackpot (one of a plurality of types of jackpots to be described later), the special chart indicator 81 displays “□□ ■■ □□ ■■” (□: lit, ■ : The jackpot symbol composed of the lighting of the first, second, fifth and sixth LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special drawing lottery is lost, a special symbol display 81 “■■■■■■■ □” is displayed, indicating a losing pattern consisting of only the rightmost LED. To do. In addition, the lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited, and can be set as appropriate. Therefore, for example, all LEDs may be turned off as a lost pattern.

  Further, in the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is variablely displayed for a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. The special display variable display mode is, for example, a mode in which each LED is lit so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. The variable display mode of the special figure is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set such that all the LEDs blink at the same time unless each LED is stopped (lighted display in a specific mode).

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a winning game ball (entering a ball) at the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, various random numbers (numerical information and determination information) for performing special drawing lottery, etc. An example) may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in a special figure hold storage unit 105 described later as a special figure hold. In the following description, various random numbers acquired by winning a game ball at the first starting port 11 (referred to as a winning ball) are referred to as “special figure 1 related random numbers” and winning the game ball at the second starting port 12. Various random numbers acquired by (entrance ball) are called “special figure 2 related random numbers”. Here, the special figure 1 related random number is stored in the special figure 1 storage unit 105a in the special figure storage unit 105 as a special figure 1 storage unit. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored in the special figure 2 storage unit 105b in the special figure storage unit 105 as a special figure 2 storage unit. The number of special figure 1 holds that can be stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a (special figure 1 hold number) and the number of special figure 2 holds that can be stored in the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b (special figure 2 hold number) It is possible to set an upper limit (for example, 4). In the following, the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold are collectively referred to as “special figure hold”, and the special figure 1 hold number and the special figure 2 hold number are collectively referred to as “special figure hold number”. The special figure 1 related random numbers and the special figure 2 related random numbers are collectively referred to as “special figure related random numbers”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special figure is not performed immediately after the game ball wins the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, specifically, the variable display of the special figure is being executed. If there is a prize during the execution of the jackpot game, it is possible to reserve a variable display of a special figure (or the right to draw a special figure) for the prize. The special figure hold stored in the special figure hold storage unit 105 is digested when variable display of the special figure based on the special figure hold becomes possible. In other words, the special figure reservation means that a special figure related random number or the like corresponding to the special figure hold is determined, and variable display of the special figure for indicating the determination result is executed.

  The special figure hold number is displayed on the special figure hold indicator 83. Each of the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of special figure hold by turning on the LED for the number of special figure hold. It is possible.

  Further, the variable display of the normal map notifies the result of the general map lottery. In the variable display of the normal map, the stop map is displayed after the variable map is variable. A general map that is displayed in a stopped state (a general map that is derived and displayed as a display result of a variable display or a variable display) is one common map selected from a plurality of types of general maps by a general drawing lottery. When the stop-displayed general chart is a predetermined specific figure (a general figure of a predetermined stop mode, that is, a winning symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second start port 12 (electric chew 12D) is performed. .

3. Main games by the gaming machine Next, main games played by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

3-1. Games related to general plans First, the games related to general plans will be explained. When the launched game ball passes through the gate 13, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a regular drawing. When the general map lottery is performed, the general map display 82 performs variable display of the general map (stop display after the variable display is performed). Here, there are a winning symbol and a lost symbol in the usual symbols to be stopped and displayed. In addition, the losing symbol of the ordinary figure is also referred to as “losing ordinary figure” in order to distinguish it from the losing symbol of the special figure described later. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the lost map is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. In the following, the passage of the game ball through the gate 13 when the variable display or the auxiliary game is not performed is referred to as “establishment of the general variable start condition”.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 obtains a common figure-related random number when the general figure variable start condition is satisfied in performing such a series of games (a general drawing lottery, a variable drawing of a common drawing, and an auxiliary game). The common figure related random numbers to be acquired include normal symbol random numbers as shown in FIG. The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for performing a hit determination. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-1-1. Winning determination The winning determination is a determination for determining whether or not to win (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using one or a plurality of hit determination tables as shown in FIG. The hit determination table can be associated with a gaming state to be described later. In other words, the gaming state includes a non-short-time state and a short-time state. As a hit determination table, a hit determination table used in the non-time-short state (non-time-short hit determination table) and a hit determination table used in the short-time state (short-time) And a hit determination table). In each winning determination table, normal symbol random number determination values (ordinary symbol random values) are assigned to the winning and losing results of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random number with the hit determination table, and determines whether or not it is a hit or lose. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the normal map variation pattern determination for performing variable display of the normal map is performed. If the result of the hit determination is a hit, basically, the winning symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the usual figure. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is lost, basically, the lost map is stopped and displayed with variable display of the normal map. In addition, the winning probability of winning can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. Normal Map Variation The universal map variation pattern determination is a determination for determining a general map variation pattern using one or a plurality of general map variation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. The normal map variation pattern is identification information related to a predetermined item related to a variable display of a general map such as a normal map change time.

  The normal variation pattern determination table can be associated with a gaming state. In other words, as a normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table, a normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time-short normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table) used in a non-temporal state and a normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table (in a time-short state) ( It is possible to distinguish between a short time normal map fluctuation pattern determination table).

  Each normal pattern variation pattern determination table stores one general map variation pattern, which is a result of the general pattern variation pattern determination, for each general map to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can vary the normal time variation time in the non-time-short state and in the time-short state. For example, in the non-time-short state, the variable display of the general figure when the lost figure (losing common figure) is stopped and displayed is determined as a normal figure change pattern in which the normal figure change time is 30 seconds, for example. For the variable display of the normal map when the display is stopped, the normal map change time is determined to be, for example, 30 seconds. In the short-time state, the variable display of the general map when the lost map is stopped and displayed is determined to be the normal pattern change pattern in which the normal map change time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the normal pattern when the win symbol is stopped and displayed. For the variable display of the figure, the usual figure fluctuation pattern is determined such that the usual figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The universal map variable display of the regular map variable time associated with the regular map variation pattern determined in this determination is performed by the universal map display 82. Further, these normal time fluctuations can be changed as appropriate. Thus, by performing the hit determination and the normal variation pattern determination, the variable display of the normal map is performed on the general map display 82.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game Auxiliary game is a variable display of a normal figure, and is executed when a winning symbol is stopped (derived) as a display result (result of a common figure lottery).

  The auxiliary game includes various elements such as elements constituting the auxiliary game (auxiliary game components), that is, the number of times the electric Chu 12D is opened, and the opening time for each opening. Each of these elements is associated with a gaming state. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls auxiliary games using one or more auxiliary game control tables as shown in FIG. 9C based on the gaming state. The auxiliary game control table is associated with the game state. Each auxiliary game control table stores auxiliary game components. In addition, the number of times of opening and the opening time for each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the opening time of the electric chews 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-short-time state and the auxiliary game in the time-short state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-time-short state, the electric chew 12D is released only for the first opening time (the time during which it is difficult to win the game ball in the electric chew 12D (for example, 0.08 seconds)). Hereinafter, the auxiliary game in the non-time-short state is also referred to as “short opening auxiliary game”. In the auxiliary game in the short-time state, the electric chew 12D is held for the second opening time longer than the first opening time (the time during which it is easy to win the game ball on the electric chewing 12D (eg, 3.00 seconds)). Open. In the following, the auxiliary game in the short-time state is also referred to as “long open auxiliary game”.

3-2. Games related to special figures Next, games related to special figures will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the special drawing 1 lottery when the launched game ball wins the first starting port 11. When the special figure 1 lottery is performed, the special figure 1 display 81a performs the variable display of the special figure 1 (stop display after performing the variable display), and notifies the result of the special figure 1 lottery. Here, the special figure 1 that is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the special drawing 1 lottery results include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed and the game based on the winning is completed.

  Similarly, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the special drawing 2 lottery when the launched game ball wins the second starting port 12. When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 display 81b performs the variable display of the special figure 2 (stop display after performing the variable display), and notifies the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, the special figure 2 which is stopped and displayed includes a jackpot symbol and a lost symbol. That is, the special figure 2 lottery results include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new gaming state is set, and the game based on the winning is completed. On the other hand, when the lose symbol is stopped and displayed, the jackpot game is not performed and the game based on the winning is finished.

  In the following, winning a game ball at the first start port 11 is referred to as “first start condition establishment”, and winning a game ball at the second start port 12 “second establishment condition established”. That's it. Further, “satisfaction of the first start condition” and “satisfaction of the second start condition” are collectively referred to as “satisfaction of the start condition”. In addition, the special symbol lost pattern is also referred to as a “special lost symbol” in order to distinguish it from the above-mentioned common symbol lost pattern.

  In performing such a series of games (special drawing lottery, special display variable display, jackpot game, game state setting), the pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires special figure-related random numbers when the start condition is established, Various determinations are made on the random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8B, the special figure-related random numbers to be acquired include special symbol random numbers (big hit random numbers), big hit symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special figure variation pattern random numbers. The special symbol random number is a random number for determining the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for determining the jackpot symbol type. The reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special figure variation pattern random number is a random number for determining the variation pattern of the special symbol. Each random number has an appropriate range. A random number may be referred to as determination information.

3-2-1. Jackpot Determination The jackpot determination is a determination for determining whether or not a jackpot (whether or not a jackpot game is executed) using one or a plurality of jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with whether the game state is a normal probability state or a high probability state. That is, the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (normal probability jackpot determination table) and the jackpot determination table used in the high probability state (high probability jackpot determination table) can be distinguished as the jackpot determination table. Is possible.

  In each jackpot determination table, the determination value of the special symbol random number (special symbol random number value) is distributed to the jackpot and the loss that are the results of the jackpot determination. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 compares the acquired special symbol random number with the jackpot determination table to determine whether it is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10A, the high probability jackpot determination table has more special symbol random number determination values determined to be jackpots than the normal probability jackpot determination table. Also, the jackpot winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

3-2-2. Jackpot symbol type determination Jackpot symbol type determination is a jackpot symbol type determination (one jackpot symbol type determination table) using one or more jackpot symbol type determination tables as shown in FIG. Is a determination for determining. For each jackpot symbol type, it is possible to associate jackpot components, such as the contents of jackpot, in other words, game benefits given to the player.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the start port where the winning is attributed to the jackpot symbol type determination (which generated the jackpot symbol type determination). Is possible. That is, as the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing variable display of the special figure 1 and the jackpot symbol used when performing variable display of the special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  There are multiple types of jackpot symbols, and in each jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type judgment value (big jackpot symbol type random value) is distributed to the jackpot symbol type that is the result of the jackpot symbol type determination Yes. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines the type of the jackpot symbol by collating the acquired jackpot symbol type random number with the jackpot symbol type determination table. In the first jackpot symbol type determination table and the second jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type random number value is appropriately distributed to various jackpot symbols. Also, the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type can be changed as appropriate. Also, the type of jackpot symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the distribution ratio of the jackpot symbol type according to the jackpot symbol type determination for the special symbol 1 is 50% for the jackpot symbol A and 50% for the jackpot symbol B. The jackpot symbol C according to the jackpot symbol type determination of the jackpot symbol C can be set to 100%. As described above, the special figure 1 lottery performed when the game ball is won at the first starting port 11 and the special figure 2 lottery performed when the game ball is won at the second start port 12 are different. It is possible to vary the fraction.

3-2-3. Reach Determination In the reach determination, when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, whether or not to generate a reach with a special figure variation effect described later using one or a plurality of reach determination tables as shown in FIG. This is a determination for determining whether or not.

  The reach determination table can be associated with a gaming state. That is, as the reach determination table, a reach determination table (non-temporal reach reach determination table) used in a non-short-time state is distinguished from a reach determination table (short-time reach determination table) used in a time-short state. It is possible.

  In each reach determination table, reach random number determination values (reach random values) are distributed between reach determination results “reach” (reach is generated) and “reach is not generated (reach is not generated)”. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 compares the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (whether or not reach is generated). As shown in FIG. 10C, it is possible to vary the number of reach random numbers determined to be “with reach (generate reach)” between the non-short-time reach determination table and the short-time reach determination table. It is. In the following, “with reach (generates a reach)” performed on the assumption that the result of the jackpot determination is “lost” is referred to as “lost with reach” and “no reach (does not generate reach)” ) ”Is sometimes referred to as“ unreach without reach ”.

3-2-4. Special figure fluctuation The special figure fluctuation pattern judgment is performed by using one or a plurality of special symbol fluctuation pattern judgment tables (special figure fluctuation pattern judgment table) as shown in FIGS. 11 to 12. This is a determination for determining (special figure fluctuation pattern), and is performed regardless of whether the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot or a loss. The special figure variation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined items relating to a special figure variation time, an effect flow (effect contents) of a special figure variation effect described later, and the like. The special figure variation pattern can include identification information regarding the result of the jackpot determination and the reach determination in addition to the special figure variation time and the production flow (production contents) of the special figure fluctuation production. As the special figure fluctuation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns having different identification information can be used, and the number thereof can be changed as appropriate.

  The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol that is subjected to variable display to be determined, in other words, the type of the start port where the winning due to the special diagram variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table: FIG. 11) used when performing variable display of special figure 1 and the variable display of special figure 2 are performed. It is possible to distinguish the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table (special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used sometimes.

  Each special figure variation pattern determination table can also be associated with a gaming state. That is, as the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time reduction special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-short-time state and the special figure 1 used in time-short state. It is possible to distinguish the fluctuation pattern determination table (time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table is similarly used in the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (non-time reduction special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-short-time state and in the short-time state. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table (short-time special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table).

  Each special figure variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, or a reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the non-time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), a reach loss, and a non-reach loss, respectively. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table and the time-saving special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table include a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), reach loss, and non-reach loss, respectively.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the number of special figure holds. For example, it is used when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 1 hold number (U1) is 3-4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for loss without reach. Further, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless lose can be associated with the number of special figure holds. For example, it is used when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 2 hold number (U2) is 3-4. It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for losing without reach.

  Then, the special figure display unit 81 performs variable display of the special figure of the special figure fluctuation time according to the special figure fluctuation pattern determined in each special figure fluctuation pattern determination. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the display result (result of the special chart lottery) in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the next special figure is not immediately performed and the jackpot game is subsequently executed. The

  Further, each special figure variation pattern can be associated with a special figure variation production effect flow as shown in the second column from the right in the tables of FIGS.

  In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the tables of FIGS. 11 to 12, the special figure variation pattern may be given a name in association with the special figure (big hit determination result) and the contents of the special figure variation production. is there. For example, a special figure fluctuation pattern related to jackpot is called “jackpot fluctuation”. On the other hand, the special pattern fluctuation pattern in which SP reach, which is a type of reach, is performed among the loses with reach is called “SP loss fluctuation”, and the L reach, which is a type of reach, among the loses with reach, is performed. The figure fluctuation pattern is “L Loss fluctuation”, and among the losses with reach, the special figure fluctuation pattern where the special figure fluctuation production ends with N reach, which is a type of reach, is “N lose fluctuation”, without reach. Such a special figure fluctuation pattern is referred to as “normal loss fluctuation”.

3-2-5. Pre-reading determination Pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs pre-reading determination using one or a plurality of pre-reading determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure related random numbers. The look-ahead determination includes, for example, a determination as to whether or not a special symbol random number is determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot determination, a determination as to which jackpot symbol type the jackpot symbol type random number is determined in the jackpot symbol type determination, There are, for example, determination as to which special figure fluctuation pattern is determined by the special figure fluctuation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of the start port related to the start winning. That is, as a pre-reading determination table, a pre-reading determination table (first pre-reading determination table) when winning at the first start port 11 and a pre-reading determination table (second pre-reading determination table) when winning at the second start port 12 , Can be distinguished.

  Further, the prefetch determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the prefetch determination table, a prefetch determination table (non-temporal prefetch determination table) used in a non-short-time state and a prefetch determination table (time-short prefetch determination table) used in a time-short state are distinguished. It is possible.

  That is, the prefetch determination table includes a first prefetch determination table used in the non-short-time state, a first prefetch determination table used in the time-short state, and a second prefetch determination table used in the non-short-time state. And the second prefetch determination table used in the time-short state can be distinguished. Note that what kind of determination is included in the prefetch determination can be changed as appropriate.

3-3. Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game includes a plurality of round games with opening and closing of the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15) and the first round game after the big hit game is started. It includes an opening (also expressed as OP) and an ending (also expressed as ED) from the end of the final round game until the end of the jackpot game. Each round game starts with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ending. Moreover, it is possible not to provide OP or ED. In the following, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is simply referred to as “round”. For example, the first round game (first round) is called “1 round (1R)”, and the 10th round game is called “10 rounds (10R)”.

  The elements constituting such a jackpot game (a jackpot game component) include the number of round games, the number of times of opening of the big prize opening (the first big prize opening 14 or the second big prize opening 15) in each round game, Includes the type and opening time (opening pattern) of each winning prize opening, opening time (closing time), opening time (opening time), ending time (ending time), etc. ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using one or a plurality of jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As a jackpot game, it is possible to control one or more types of jackpot games.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 15R, a round game in which the first grand prize opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or the first big prize opening 14 for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. Opening round game is performed. In 16R (final round), there is a round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is released for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second big prize opening 15 is released for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. Done. In each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the big prize opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the big prize openings 14, 15 has elapsed, End the round game.

  Further, the number of times and the time in each element can be changed as appropriate. Further, the jackpot game can be performed using both the first grand prize winning port 14 and the second grand prize winning port 15, or using only one of them.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. Since the specific region 16 takes a closed state in which a prize cannot be awarded and an open state in which a prize can be won by the distribution member 16k, the operating mode of the distribution member 16k can be referred to as an open / close mode of the specific region 16. Hereinafter, the operation mode of the sorting member 16k is also referred to as “opening / closing mode of the specific region 16”. In this way, the sorting member 16k is controlled in a constant operation mode (the specific region 16 is a constant opening / closing mode), but the constant operation mode of the sorting member 16k (the constant opening / closing mode of the specific region 16), In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (ease) of making the game ball enter the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. Hereinafter, the specific region 16 being in the open state is also referred to as “V open”.

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big prize opening starts, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is opened for 29.5 seconds at the maximum, the opening time and timing of the second big prize opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distribution member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in a round game in which the second grand prize opening 15 is opened for 0.1 seconds at the maximum, the opening time and timing of the second big prize opening 15 and the time controlled to the second state of the distribution member 16k and From the relationship with the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) that the game ball passes through the specific area 16 (the game ball enters the specific area 16). Thus, in the jackpot game, during the jackpot game, the VAT opening / closing member has a first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that allows easy passage of the game ball through the specific area 16 (hereinafter also referred to as “V passing pattern”). The VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated and the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult to pass the specific area 16 of the game ball. It is possible to execute a jackpot game. Thus, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as “V long jackpot”. On the other hand, the jackpot game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the sorting member 16k are operated in the V short opening pattern is referred to as “V short jackpot”.

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a “low probability low base gaming state”, “low probability high base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state”, “high probability high base gaming state” and “ The game state can be any one of the jackpot gaming state (corresponding to the advantageous gaming state of the present invention). “Low probability low base gaming state” is “low probability low base state”, “low probability high base gaming state” is “low probability high base state”, and “high probability low base gaming state” is “high probability The “low base state” and the “high probability high base game state” can be abbreviated as “high probability high base state”, respectively. As the states constituting the gaming state, there are a state related to the probability of being determined as “big hit” in the jackpot determination, and a state related to the ease of opening of the electric Chu 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-short-time state and a short-time state.

  The normal probability state is a state that is set in the “low probability low base gaming state” or the “low probability high base gaming state”, and the probability that the jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot is a normal probability. The high probability state is a state that is set in the “high probability low base gaming state” or the “high probability high base gaming state”, and the probability that the jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot is higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high probability state is more advantageous to the player than the normal probability state. When power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a normal probability state is set. And it becomes possible to switch from a normal probability state to a high probability state by winning a jackpot. For example, in a jackpot game, it is possible to switch to a high probability state when a game ball passes through the specific area 16. It is also possible to switch to a high probability state depending on the type of jackpot symbol. In the high-probability state, it is possible to switch from the high-probability state to the normal-probability state by performing a jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning a jackpot or winning the next jackpot.

  The non-time-short state is set in the “low probability low base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state”, or “big hit gaming state”. The short time state is set in the “low probability high base game state” or “high probability high base game state”, and the game state in which the open time of the electric Chu 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-short time state. It is. For example, in the short time state, the open time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the open time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric chew 12D in the non-short time state. In the short-time state, the special-figure variation pattern determination is performed using a special-figure variation pattern determination table that is determined so that the number of special-figure variation patterns with a short special-figure variation time is selected more than in the non-time-short state. It is also possible to do this (see FIGS. 11 to 12). As a result, in the short-time state, the special-patch holding pace is accelerated, and an effective winning (a winning that can be stored as a special-pending hold) at the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit with smooth progress of the game.

  In addition, the time reduction state can easily make the normal time change time shorter than the non-time reduction state. For example, in the short-time state, the normal time fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the normal time fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-time-short state is determined. Therefore, the number of times of the general drawing lottery per unit time is larger in the short time state.

  In addition, it is possible to make it easier for the time-short state to be determined as a win in the hit determination than in the non-time-short state. For example, in the short-time state, the hit is determined with a higher probability (for example, 59936/65536) than the probability (for example, 6600/65536) that is determined to be a hit in the non-time-short state. Therefore, the number of times that the time reduction state is determined to be successful in the hit determination per unit time is larger.

  As described above, in the time reduction state, the open time of the electric chews 12D per unit time is longer than in the non-time reduction state, and it is easy for the game balls to win frequently at the second start port 12. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shot balls, becomes high. Therefore, in a short time state with a high base, it is possible to aim for a big win without significantly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the short-time state is more advantageous to the player than the non-short-time state.

  When the power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the non-time-saving state is set. And, for example, a short time state can be set by winning a jackpot. In the short-time state, it is possible to change from the short-time state to the non-short-time state by making a jackpot determination a predetermined number of times without winning a jackpot or by winning the next jackpot.

  In the short-time state, it is easier to win a win, the normal fluctuation time is likely to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric Chu 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time-short state. The game according to the usual figure is set to be advantageous to the player in three respects. However, some of the points that are advantageously set for the player may be included.

  The gaming state after the power is first turned on in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is a “low probability low base gaming state” in which a normal probability state and a non-time-short state are set. This gaming state is also referred to as a “normal gaming state”. In the “hit game state”, the hit determination is performed but the jackpot determination is not performed. Therefore, the non-short-time state is set with the start of the jackpot game. As for the gaming state, it is possible to use all of the gaming state described above or only a part thereof.

4). Next, main effects performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The production mode is a division of production (or higher conceptual attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a probability variation effect mode, a time reduction effect mode, and a jackpot effect mode as effect modes.

  In the customer waiting effect mode, special figure variation effects are performed in “low probability low base gaming state”, “low probability high base gaming state”, “high probability low base gaming state” and “high probability high base gaming state”. It is an effect mode that can be set when there is not, and indicates a standby state in which no special figure variation effect is performed. The customer waiting effect is performed when the customer waiting effect mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (A-1), a customer waiting demonstration video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, when the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demonstration video G100 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 16A-2, a setting screen G101 for performing settings related to the effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1. Is displayed. Settings related to effects include volume setting of sound output from the speaker 52, luminance setting of the display unit 50a ("light quantity setting"), frequency setting of effects to be executed ("effect setting"), and the like.

  The normal performance mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the “low probability low base game state” or the “high probability low base game state” and indicates a non-time-short state. is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-1, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a. As shown in FIG. 16B-2, a second normal effect mode in which a background image (evening normal background image G103) representing the evening mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a, and FIG. As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (night-time normal background image G104) representing a night mountain landscape is displayed on the display unit 50a. It is switched as one condition that the special figure variation effect is performed one or more times. Furthermore, in each of the first to third normal production modes, in the special figure variation production, the normal first stage production mode before the reach (corresponding to the first production of the present invention) is established, and after the reach is established. There is a normal rear stage production mode. In the normal front stage production mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the night normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In the normal rear stage production mode, the type of reach is displayed. A corresponding background image is displayed. Further, a special performance mode that is set only in the “high probability low base gaming state” may be provided.

  The probability variation effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is being performed in the “high probability high base game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates a high probability state and a short time state. In the probability changing effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-4, a background image (probability changing background image G105) representing the universe is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the probability variation effect mode includes a probability variation pre-stage effect mode before reach is established and a probability change post-stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the pre-change change effect mode, the probability change background image G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In the post-change change effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

  The short time effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a special figure variation effect is being performed in the “low probability high base game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates a normal probability state and a short time state. In the time reduction effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-5), a background image representing the sky (time reduction background image G106) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the short-time effect mode includes a short-time pre-stage effect mode before reach is established and a short-time post-stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure variation effect. In the pre-time reduction effect mode, the time-shortening background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the time-shortage post-effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

  The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being played in the “hit game state”, and is an effect mode that indicates that a jackpot game is being played. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-1, on the display unit 50a, the opening image G107 suggesting the start of the jackpot game or the right for prompting “right hit” A jackpot opening effect in which the hit image G108 is displayed is performed. During the round in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-2, the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls that have been paid out. Round production will be performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16C-3, the display unit 50a suggests the ending image G111 indicating the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number of paid-out balls. The jackpot ending effect is displayed in which the total prize ball number image G112 to be displayed is displayed.

  In addition, about the kind of effect mode, it is possible to change or add suitably.

4-2. Next, the special figure fluctuation effect (also simply referred to as “fluctuation effect”) will be described. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a special figure variation pattern and a special figure lottery result (a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, a reach determination result, and The special figure variation effect is executed based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result). In the special figure variation effect, the display unit 50a displays a variation of the effect symbol in a superimposed manner on a predetermined background image. The production symbol is composed of, for example, numeric symbols 1 to 9, and in the variation display of the production symbol, the production symbol fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the production symbol with the end of the variable display of the special figure Stops. That is, after the special symbol variation time and the effect symbol variation display are performed, the variation is stopped, and the effect symbol stop display is performed. And the result of a special figure lottery is alert | reported by the stop display of an effect design.

  In the special figure variation effect, in addition to the effect symbol variation display, there are various types such as the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the panel lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the normal button 40, and the special button 41. It is possible to perform other effects using a simple effect device. In this case, other effects can be continuously performed even after the effect symbol is stopped and displayed.

4-2-1. Effect symbol display area As shown in FIG. 17A, the display 50a of the image display device 50 has a left effect on each of the left side, the center, and the right side of the display unit 50a divided into three substantially horizontally. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol stop display is performed in the special symbol variation effect. Similarly, the medium effect symbol area 50b2 and the right effect symbol area 50b3 are areas in which the medium effect symbol EZ2 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, a small symbol region 50c can be provided in a section of the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end portion of the display unit 50a. The small symbol area 50c is an area in which the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed when the special symbol variable display is performed. The small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are composed of numeric symbols 1 to 9, for example.

  In FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol region 50b1, the middle effect symbol region 50b2, the right effect symbol region 50b3, and the small symbol region 50c are clearly indicated by a two-dot chain line, but this is the left effect symbol region 50b1. These are described to represent the ranges of the medium effect symbol area 50b2, the right effect symbol area 50b3, and the small symbol area 50c, and are not actually displayed.

4-2-2. Normal fluctuation The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can first perform a normal fluctuation in the special figure fluctuation effect. The normal variation functions as an effect that suggests that variable display of the special figure has started.

  When the special display variable display is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. The left small symbol KZ1, the medium small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped, the variable display of the special figure is not performed, and the state of waiting for the variable display of the special figure from FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, with the start, the change display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started, and the change display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. Note that “↓” in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbol variation is being displayed. When the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “normal loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 17C-1, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different. After the temporary stop in the stop mode, as shown in FIG. 17D, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode (so-called disparity) that suggests a loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed together in a stop mode that suggests a loss. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a loss, such as “1, 1, 2” and “2, 4, 6”, where the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern with a reach such as “N loss fluctuation”, for example, as shown in FIG. And the right effect design EZ3 temporarily stop in the same stop mode (so-called reach eyes), and reach is established. At this time, the variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special diagram variation pattern is performed. In addition, the stop order and stop mode of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

4-2-3. N-reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform N-reach when reach is established in normal fluctuations. The N reach is an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that the result of the jackpot determination is a “hit”, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a jackpot.

  In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), the state where the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. 18 (B), the fluctuation rate of the medium effect symbol EZ2 is gradually increased. Will slow down. When the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 18C-1, a stop mode (so-called reach lose eye) suggesting reach loss is produced. The symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all together in a stop mode that suggests reach loss. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest reach loss, such as “7, 6, 7” and “5, 3, 5”, in which the left and right symbols are the same and the middle symbol is different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N big hit fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. indicate. There are multiple types of stop modes that suggest a big hit, such as “7, 7, 7” and “2, 2, 2”, which have the same left and right symbols. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. It should be noted that the effect content of N reach is not limited to the moderate effect symbol EZ2 gradually decelerating, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2-4. SP Reach The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect that suggests that the possibility that the result of the jackpot determination is a “hit” is higher than the N reach, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a jackpot.

  In SP reach, after N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 19A, a background image dedicated to SP reach (SP reach background image G113) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and SP is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 representing the start of reach is displayed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 19B, an SP reach exclusive effect (for example, a battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final phase of the SP reach exclusive effect is reached, when the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “SP jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. At 50a, an effect that suggests a jackpot (for example, a display in which the main character is delighted to win the battle) is performed, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped in a stop mode that suggests a jackpot (a so-called doublet) indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed simultaneously in a stop mode that suggests a big hit. On the other hand, when the special figure variable pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, “SP loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 19 (C-2), an effect suggesting the loss (for example, an enemy character in battle) Display that is delighted to win) is performed, and the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stop display in a stop mode that suggests reach lose. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed together in a stop mode that suggests a loss. It should be noted that the effect content of SP reach can be changed or added as appropriate.

  Here, the possibility that the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each reach will be stopped in a manner that indicates a jackpot (the jackpot expectation) will be described in detail. The jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of the jackpot determination. For example, when the execution probability of N reach is 10% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and 100% when the result of the jackpot determination is “hit”, the execution probability of the SP reach is If the jackpot determination result is “losing” and 4%, and if the jackpot determination result is “hit”, 100%, the SP reach jackpot expectation is higher than the N reach jackpot expectation It can be set high. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B can be executed as SP reach, and the execution probability of SP reach A is set to 2% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, and the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”. In the case of 20%, the execution probability of SP reach B is 2% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing”, and 30% when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”. For example, the SP jackpot expectation degree of SP reach B can be set higher than the SP jackpot expectation degree of SP reach A. In this way, the jackpot expectation can be set by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the jackpot determination.

5. Control of Game by the Game Control Microcomputer 101 Next, game control by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that a counter, a timer, a buffer, and the like that appear in the game control by the game control microcomputer 101 described below are provided in the game RAM 104.

[1. Main control main processing]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the game control microcomputer 101 provided on the main control board 100 reads and executes the main control main process program shown in FIG. 23 from the game ROM 103. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, a power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, access permission setting to the gaming RAM 104, gaming CPU 102 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for interrupt time management) setting and the like are performed.

  Subsequent to the power-on process, interrupts are prohibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. Further, at least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) is completed, the interruption is permitted (S004). While the interrupt is permitted, the main timer interrupt process (S005) can be executed. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102, for example, at a cycle of 4 msec. That is, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main timer interrupt process (S005) is completed and before the main timer interrupt process (S005) is started, various normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processes (S003) are performed. The update process of the random number counter value is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S004).

In the special symbol determination process, when the special symbol currently stopped and displayed is a jackpot symbol, the game is shifted to the jackpot gaming state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the jackpot game is generated. The opening command includes information related to the result of the jackpot type determination. In addition, when the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the high probability state is terminated, the normal probability state is set. Then, a high probability end command indicating the transition to the normal probability state is generated. When the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the time-short state is to be ended, the non-time-short state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating the transition to the non-time saving state is generated. If the special figure currently stopped is a lost symbol and the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number are “0”, the customer wait indicating that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in a standby state. Generate a command.

[2-3-4. Big hit game control processing]
The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot game state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is performed using the jackpot game control table. After the transition to the jackpot game state, each round game is started according to the elapse of the opening time or the closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. Also, the ending is started in response to finishing the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information on the result of the jackpot type determination.

[2-3-5. Game state setting process]
The game state setting process is a process that is performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the gaming state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot gaming state. When the duration of the high probability state is limited, the duration of the high probability state (for example, the number of special display variable displays that can continue the high probability state without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a high probability setting command indicating the setting of the high probability state is generated. When changing from the non-time saving state to the time saving state, the time saving state is set when the jackpot gaming state ends. When the duration of the short-time state is limited, the duration of the short-time state (for example, the number of special display variable displays that can continue the short-time state without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, a time reduction setting command indicating the setting of the time reduction state is generated.

  Note that the commands generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6). Production Control by Production Control Microcomputer 121 Next, production control by production control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. It should be noted that counters, timers, flags, buffers, and the like that appear in the following description of control of effects by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

[1. Sub-control main process]
When the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is powered on, the effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub control board 120 reads out and executes the program of the sub control main process shown in FIG. 25 from the effect ROM 123. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, first, a power-on process corresponding to power-on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, setting of the CPU 122 for production, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) and the like are performed.

  Next, interruption is prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for making determinations regarding various effects are updated. As an example, the update method of the effect determination random number counter for various effects can be the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above. Random values may not be added one by one at the time of update, but may be added two by two. The same applies to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

  When the random number seed update process ends, a command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a in accordance with the received command (executes various effects based on the image). In addition to the various effects performed by the image control board 140, the sub-control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by sound), and lamp control. The frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 are caused to emit light via the circuit 151 (perform various light emission effects by light emission), and the movable devices 55, 56, 58 are actuated (various movable body effects depending on the operation). Or run).

  Next, the production control microcomputer 121 permits interruption (S4005). Thereafter, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While the interrupt is permitted, the reception interrupt process (S4010) and the sub timer interrupt process (S4011) can be executed.

  The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed each time various commands sent from the main control board 100 are input to the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the effect control microcomputer 121 stores various commands transmitted and received in the output process (S101) of the main control board 100 in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124. This reception interrupt process is executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4011).

[2. Sub timer interrupt processing]
The sub timer interrupt process (S4011) is executed every time an interrupt pulse having a predetermined period (for example, 1 msec period) is input to the sub control board 120. In the sub timer interruption process (S4011), as shown in FIG. 26, the input process (S4101), the light emission data output process (S4102), the movable device control process (S4103), the watchdog timer process (S4104), and the received command analysis A process (S4105), an effect timer update process (S4106), an audio control process (S4107), and an effect data creation process (S4108) are sequentially performed.

  In the input process, an operation on an operation unit that can be operated by the player, such as the normal button detection switch 40a and the special button detection switch 41a, is detected. In the light emission data output process, the light emission data is generated so that the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the panel lamp 54 emit light based on the production data created in the production data creation process, which will be described later. Is output to the lamp control circuit 151. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the panel lamp 54, and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control process, drive data is output in order to perform a movable body effect that operates the movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 at a predetermined timing based on the production data created in the production data creation process. To do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs a movable body effect that operates the movable devices 55, 56, 58, and the like in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. In watchdog timer processing, the watchdog timer is reset.

  In the received command analysis process, the command stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 by the reception interrupt process (S4010) is analyzed, and the process corresponding to the command (for example, selecting an effect, setting an effect mode, setting a command, etc.) I do. In the effect timer update process, a timer for measuring the time related to each effect is updated. In the voice control process, voice data (data for controlling voice output from the speaker 52) is created and output to the voice control circuit 161 based on the processing result of the received command analysis process. In the production data creation process, production data is created based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

Furthermore, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P01” or the like performed until the SP reach is more easily selected than the special figure fluctuation pattern “P02”. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 34B, when the determination result of the special figure 1 is “losing with reach” in the non-short-time state, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P06” performed up to N reach is the most. Easy to choose. Therefore, it is suggested that SP reach is more likely to win the jackpot than N reach.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 34A, when the determination result of FIG. 1 is “big hit” in the non-time-short state, the distribution ratio (8%) of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P21” which is weak SP reach. ) Is lower than the respective distribution ratios (40%, 30% and 13%) of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P22”, “P23” and “P24” which are strong SP reach. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 34B, when the determination result of FIG. 1 is “losing with reach” in the non-time-short state, the distribution ratio of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P25” (weak SP reach) ( 20%) is higher than the distribution ratios (8%, 11%, and 13%) of the special figure fluctuation patterns “P26”, “P27”, and “P28” that are strong SP reach.

  As described above, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P21” and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P25” have the same effect flow of the special figure fluctuation effect (see FIG. 32). Also, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P22” and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P26”, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23” and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P27”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24” and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P28”. "Has the same effect flow of the special figure variation effect (see FIG. 32). That is, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P25” corresponds to the loss of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P21”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P26” corresponds to the loss of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P22”. The fluctuation pattern “P27” corresponds to the loss of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P28” corresponds to the loss of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24”. This suggests that the strong SP reach is more likely to win the jackpot than the weak reach.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 34A, when the determination result of the special figure 1 is “big hit” in the non-short-time state, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24” → the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23” → the special figure fluctuation. The distribution ratio increases in the order of the pattern “P22”. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 34 (B), when the determination result of special figure 1 is “losing with reach” in the non-short-time state, special figure fluctuation pattern “P28” → special figure fluctuation pattern “P27” → In the order of the special figure variation pattern “P26”, the distribution rate is lower.

  As described above, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P22”, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P26”, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23”, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P27”, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern “ The production flow of the special figure variation production is the same as “P28” (see FIG. 32). That is, the special figure fluctuation pattern “P26” corresponds to the loss of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P22”, and the special figure fluctuation pattern “P27” corresponds to the loss of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23”. The fluctuation pattern “P28” corresponds to the loss of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24”. Furthermore, the execution start time of the strong SP finalizing effect is earlier in the order of the special figure fluctuation pattern “P22” → the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23” → the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24”. From the above, it is suggested that the stronger SP finalization effect with the later execution timing is more likely to win the jackpot.

  In this embodiment, the presence / absence of execution of the first curl effect is determined by the effect control microcomputer 121 using the first curl effect execution selection table shown in FIG. When execution of the first curl effect is determined, the effect of the first curl effect to be executed using the first curl effect mode selection table shown in FIG. Determined by.

  In the normal variation of the special figure variation effect in which the SP reach is executed, the probability that the first beat effect is performed is the same as the probability that the first beat effect is not performed (see FIG. 35A). On the other hand, in the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect in which the SP reach is not executed, the probability that the first curl effect is not performed is higher than the probability that the first curl effect is performed (see FIG. 35A). In other words, in such a case, it is difficult to perform the first turn effect. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the SP reach is executed, the first curling effect is more easily performed than when the SP reach is not executed.

  In addition, when the first roll production is executed in the special figure variation production in which the SP reach is performed, the first roll production is more easily performed in the second mode than in the first mode (see FIG. 35B). . The first mode is an effect mode with a second operation after the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k. On the other hand, the second mode is an effect mode that includes the fourth operation of the panel left movable body 57L and the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R after the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k.

  On the other hand, when the first roll effect is performed with the special figure variation effect where the reach is performed but the SP reach is not performed, conversely, the first roll effect is performed in the first mode rather than the second mode. Easy (see FIG. 35B). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the SP reach is performed, it is easier to perform the first roll effect in the second mode than when the reach is performed but the SP reach is not performed. In other words, it is possible to suggest that the first hit effect of the second mode is more likely to execute the SP reach than the first hit effect of the first mode.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (B), the third mode is also applicable to the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect in which the SP reach is performed, or the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect in which the reach is performed but the SP reach is not performed. In the first roll production is not performed. A 3rd aspect is an effect aspect which does not accompany the operation | movement of various movable bodies after the 1st operation | movement of the board movable body 55k. As described above, when the first roll effect is executed in the third mode, the player can grasp that the special figure variation effect does not reach the player.

7-4. Various effects Subsequently, various effects (first roaring effect, second roaring effect, third roaring effect, introduction effect, strong SP determination effect and weak SP determination effect) will be described below.

7-4-1. First roaring effect The first roaring effect (the suggestion effect of the present invention, corresponding to the first special effect) is an effect that suggests the feasibility of reach. The first roaring effect is an effect using various movable bodies (a panel movable body 55k, a panel left movable body 57L or a panel right movable body 57R). That is, the effect is accompanied by the operation of one of these various movable bodies.

  There are three effect modes (first mode, second mode, and third mode) in the first roaring effect of the present embodiment. The first mode is an effect mode involving the second operation of the same on-board movable body 55k after the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k. Specifically, the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k reciprocates a plurality of times between the initial position of the on-board movable body 55k shown in FIG. 28 and the first on-board position shown in FIG. Refers to the action to be performed. Specifically, the second operation of the on-board movable body 55k reciprocates once between the initial position of the on-board movable body 55k shown in FIG. 28 and the second on-board position shown in FIG. Refers to movement. In addition, the 1st roll production of a 1st aspect is corresponded to a 1st suggestion production.

  The second mode is an effect mode that includes the fourth operation of the left panel movable body 57L and the sixth operation of the right panel movable body 57R after the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k. Specifically, the fourth operation of the panel left movable body 57L reciprocates once between the initial position of the panel left movable body 57L shown in FIG. 28 and the second panel left position shown in FIG. 30 (B). Refers to movement. Further, the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R specifically refers to an operation of making one reciprocation between the initial position of the panel right movable body 57R shown in FIG. 28 and the panel right position shown in FIG. . In addition, the 1st roaring effect of a 2nd aspect is also equivalent to the 1st suggestion effect of this invention similarly to the 1st roaring effect of a 1st aspect.

  In the effect mode involving the fourth operation of the panel left movable body 57L and the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R, the effect mode is as shown in FIG. That is, the panel left movable body 57L and the panel right movable body 57R intersect each other in front of the display unit 50a. Therefore, it is possible to give a big impact to the player.

  The third mode is an effect mode in which none of the on-board movable body 55k, the left panel movable body 57L, and the right panel movable body 57R operates after the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k.

7-4-2. The second roaring effect The second roaring effect is an effect that suggests execution of one of the effect described below and the effect of determining the strong SP. In the present embodiment, since the strong SP confirmed effect is performed following the execution of the introduction effect, the strong SP confirmed effect is performed when the second turning effect is performed. That is, it can be said that the second roaring effect is an effect that suggests execution of the strong SP determination effect. In the second hit effect of the present embodiment, for example, an image imitating the normal button 40 and an image indicating the character string “introduction effect or strong SP finalized effect?” Are displayed on the display unit 50a to give the player. This is an image effect that prompts the user to press the normal button 40.

7-4-3. The third roaring effect The third roaring effect (corresponding to the first effect of the present invention) is an effect that suggests execution of either one of the later-described SP type determination effect and strong SP determined effect. This third roaring effect is an effect accompanied by the fifth operation of the panel right movable body 57R. The fifth operation of the panel right movable body 57R specifically refers to an operation of reciprocating a plurality of times between the initial position of the panel right movable body 57R shown in FIG. 28 and the panel right position shown in FIG.

7-4-4. Introductory effect The introductory effect (corresponding to the second effect, the single-use effect, and the second single-use effect of the present invention) is an effect that suggests execution of a later-described strong SP determination effect. That is, when the introduction effect is executed, the strong SP determination effect is always performed. This introduction effect is an effect accompanied by the third operation of the left panel movable body 57L. Specifically, the third operation of the left panel movable body 57L is reciprocated a plurality of times between the initial position of the left panel movable body 57L shown in FIG. 28 and the first left panel position shown in FIG. Refers to the action to be performed.

7-4-5. Strong SP confirmed effect Strong SP confirmed effect (corresponding to the multiple use effect, the second suggestion effect, and the fourth special effect of the present invention) is a strong SP reach (second effect, special effect, second special effect) of SP reach. This is an effect suggesting the execution of the equivalent). That is, when the strong SP finalizing effect is executed, the strong SP reach is always performed thereafter. This strong SP determination effect is an effect accompanied by the fourth operation of the panel left movable body 57L and the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R described above. That is, the board left movable body 57L and the panel right movable body 57R intersect in front of the display unit 50a, similar to the second aspect of the first turn effect described above (see FIG. 36). That is, the strong SP determination effect is the same effect mode as a part of the second mode of the first roaring effect.

7-4-6. Weak SP confirmed effect The weak SP confirmed effect (corresponding to the second effect, single-use effect, and first single-use effect) is an effect that suggests execution of weak SP reach among SP reach. That is, when the weak SP finalizing effect is executed, the weak SP reach is always performed thereafter. This weak SP finalized effect is an effect accompanied only by the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R. That is, it differs from the strong SP determination effect in that the fourth operation of the left panel movable body 57L is not accompanied.

7-5. Flow of production Next, the flow of the special figure variation production in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly based on FIGS. In detail, the 1st roaring effect in the normal fluctuation of a special figure fluctuation effect is demonstrated based on FIGS. Further, various effects (second roaring effect, introduction effect, strong SP determination effect, and weak SP determination effect) in the N reach of the special figure variation effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 37, 38, and 40 to 42. In addition, when the reach is performed after setting the execution start time of the normal variation of the special figure variation effect to “0”, the execution start time of the reach is set to “time t03”, and the N reach after the reach Is set to “time t04”.

  First, the first roaring effect of the first aspect will be described based on FIG. As an example shown in FIG. 37, for example, when the gaming state is a non-time-saving gaming state and the special figure determination result of special figure 1 is “big hit”, the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table shown in FIG. “P23” is selected, and “execution” is selected based on the first turn effect execution selection table shown in FIG. 35 (A), and based on the first turn effect mode selection table shown in FIG. 35 (B). The case where “the first aspect” is selected is mentioned.

  As shown in FIG. 37, when the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23” is started, the first swaying effect in the first mode is performed at the time t01 during the execution of the normal fluctuation. Be started. As described above, the first mode of the first roaring effect is an effect mode involving the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the subsequent second operation (see FIG. 37). It should be noted that the first operation is switched to the second operation at “time t02” shown in FIG. Such first roaring effect is performed until time t03, which is the reach execution start time (see FIG. 37).

  After that, at the time t05 during the execution of N reach, the second turning effect, the introduction effect at the subsequent time t06 (corresponding to a predetermined timing, the second timing), and the strong SP confirmed at the time t07 after the execution of the introduction effect Each production starts. The second roaring effect is an image effect as described above. Further, the introduction effect is an effect accompanied by the third operation of the panel left movable body 57L as described above. Furthermore, the strong SP determination effect is an effect obtained by combining the fourth operation of the panel left movable body 57L and the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R as described above (see FIG. 36).

  Next, the first roaring effect of the second aspect will be described based on FIG. As an example shown in FIG. 38, for example, when the determination result of special figure 1 is “big hit” in the non-time-saving gaming state, special figure variation pattern “P23” is selected, and further, the first figure shown in FIG. There is a case where “execution” is selected based on the turn effect execution selection table and “second mode” is selected based on the first turn effect mode selection table shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 38, along with the start of the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23”, the first rolling effect in the second mode is started at the time t01 during the execution of the normal fluctuation. The As described above, the second mode of the first turn effect is the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k, and then the fourth operation of the left panel movable body 57L and the sixth operation of the right panel movable body 57R. It is a production mode accompanied by an operation in combination with (see FIG. 38). Note that, at “time t02” shown in FIG. 38, the first operation is switched to the operation combining the fourth operation and the sixth operation. Such first roaring effect is performed until time t03, which is the reach execution start time (see FIG. 38). Note that the sixth operation at time t02 corresponds to the first operation.

  Unlike the 1st roaring effect of the 1st mode, the 1st roaring effect of the 2nd mode switches to the operation which combined the 4th operation and the 6th operation at time t02. The operation combining the fourth operation and the sixth operation is an effect using two movable bodies, a panel left movable body 57L and a panel right movable body 57R, as shown in FIG. Since it crosses in front of the display unit 50a, it is easy to attract the player's attention. Therefore, it is possible to give a big impact to the player by executing such a first hit effect.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 38, in the strong SP determination effect, an operation in which the fourth operation and the sixth operation are combined is performed. The second mode of the first roaring effect includes the same operation as the mode of the strong SP determination effect. Therefore, the same aspect as the production suggesting the execution of strong SP reach is performed in the first beat production, and it is possible to make the player expect execution of the strong SP reach at the time of execution of the first beat production. It has become.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 35B, the first mode of the present embodiment is selected in the second mode rather than the first mode when SP reach (strong SP reach, weak SP reach) is performed. It is easy to be done. Therefore, when the first hit effect of the second mode is performed, the player can easily expect to execute SP reach and further win a jackpot.

  Next, the first roaring effect of the third aspect will be described based on FIG. As an example shown in FIG. 39, for example, in the non-time-saving gaming state, when the determination result of the special figure 1 is “losing” and the reach determination result is “no reach”, the special figure variation pattern “P29” is selected. Can be mentioned.

  As shown in FIG. 39, when the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P29” is started, the first swaying effect in the third mode is performed at time t01 during the execution of the normal fluctuation. Be started. As described above, the third mode of the first roaring effect is an effect mode involving the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k (see FIG. 39). Then, the first operation ends at “time t02” shown in FIG. Such first roaring effect is performed until time t03, which is the reach execution start time (see FIG. 39). In other words, during the period from time t02 to time t03, an effect without any operation of various movable bodies (panel movable body 55k, panel left movable body 57L, panel right movable body 57R) is executed. Specifically, for example, during the period from time t02 to time t03, a configuration in which an image effect indicating a character string “not reach” is displayed on the display unit 50a without any operation of the various movable bodies. It is done. As described above, in the third mode, since there is no operation of various movable bodies after the first operation, it is possible to notify the player that the expectation is not expected compared to the first mode and the second mode.

  Next, returning to FIG. 37 (or FIG. 38), the second roaring effect, the introduction effect, and the strong SP determination effect will be described. As an example shown in FIG. 37, for example, when the gaming state is a non-time-saving gaming state and the special figure determination result of special figure 1 is “big hit”, the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table shown in FIG. An example is when “P23” is selected.

  As described above, when the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23” is started, the first roll effect and the reach in the first mode are performed, respectively. Then, at the time t05 during the execution of N reach after reach, the execution of the second turning effect is started. The second roll effect is an image effect that prompts the player to press the normal button 40. Specifically, for example, the display unit 50a is an effect that displays an image imitating the normal button 40 and an image indicating the character string “Press!” Together.

  In the special figure variation pattern “P23”, the introduction effect described above is started at time t06 after the second turning effect is performed (see FIG. 37). Time t06 corresponds to a time before the strong SP finalizing effect is performed at time t07. As described above, the introductory effect is the third operation of the panel left movable body 57L, that is, between the initial position of the panel left movable body 57L shown in FIG. 28 and the first panel left position shown in FIG. It is an effect accompanied by an operation of reciprocating multiple times. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention by executing such introduction effects.

  The strong SP determination effect described above is started at time t07 after the introduction effect is executed (see FIG. 37). As described above, the strong SP determination effect is an effect accompanied by an operation combining the fourth operation of the left panel movable body 57L and the sixth operation of the right panel movable body 57R (see FIG. 36). By executing the strong SP finalization effect using two types of movable bodies, it is possible to attract the player while giving a large impact to the player.

  Strong SP reach is started at time t08 after execution of the strong SP confirmation effect. That is, the strong SP reach is performed following the execution of the strong SP determination effect.

  Next, based on FIG. 40, the case where the strong SP determination effect is executed immediately after the second turning effect is executed will be described. As an example shown in FIG. 40, for example, when the gaming state is a non-time-saving gaming state and the special figure determination result of special figure 1 is “big hit”, the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table shown in FIG. An example is when “P24” is selected.

  When the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24” is started, the N reach after the reach is being executed as in the special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23” described above. At the time t05, execution of the second turning effect is started.

  However, in the special figure fluctuation pattern “P24”, unlike the special figure fluctuation pattern “P23”, the strong SP finalizing effect is started at time t06 after the second turning effect is performed (see FIG. 40). Since the strong SP finalization effect will be performed immediately after the execution of the second roaring effect, it is possible to give the player a surprise, and since the introduction effect is not performed, the content is relatively simple. It has become.

  Next, based on FIG. 41, a case where the strong SP determination effect is executed after the execution of the third turning effect rather than after the execution of the second turning effect will be described. As an example shown in FIG. 41, for example, when the game state is a non-short game state and the special figure determination result of special figure 1 is “big hit”, the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table shown in FIG. An example is when “P22” is selected.

  When the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P22” is started, the N reach after the reach is performed in the same manner as the special figure fluctuation effect according to the special figure fluctuation patterns “P23” and “P24” described above. Is executed.

  However, unlike the special figure variation patterns “P23” and “P24”, the execution of the third turning effect is started not at the time t05 during the execution of the N reach but at a time t12 that is a time later than the time t05 (FIG. 41). The third roaring effect is accompanied by the fifth operation of the panel right movable body 57R as described above.

  Then, the strong SP determination effect is started at time t13 (predetermined timing, corresponding to the first timing) after the third beat effect is performed (see FIG. 41). That is, the start timing of the strong SP finalized effect is later than the start timing of the strong SP finalized effect shown in FIG. That is, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, there are a plurality of execution timings of the strong SP finalizing effect during the execution of N reach, and the special figure variation effect is rich in variety. The sixth operation at time t13 corresponds to the second operation.

  Next, based on FIG. 42, a case where a weak SP finalized effect is executed instead of a strong SP finalized effect after execution of the third roaring effect will be described. As an example shown in FIG. 42, for example, when the gaming state is a non-time-saving gaming state and the special figure determination result of special figure 1 is “big hit”, the special figure fluctuation pattern based on the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern judgment table shown in FIG. An example is when “P21” is selected.

  When the normal fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation effect according to the special figure fluctuation pattern “P21” is started, the N reach after the reach is performed as in the special figure fluctuation effects according to the special figure fluctuation patterns “P22” to “P24” described above. Is executed. Furthermore, the execution of the third turning effect is started at time t12.

  However, unlike the special figure variation pattern “P22”, the weak SP finalizing effect is started at time t13 after the execution of the third turning effect (see FIG. 42). The weak SP confirmed effect is an effect that suggests execution of weak SP reach among SP reach as described above, and involves only the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R. Compared with the strong SP finalizing effect, the impact is weak because there is no fourth operation of the left panel movable body 57L. Therefore, it is easy for the player to understand that the weak SP reach with lower expectation than the strong SP reach is performed by the weak SP finalization effect.

8). Effects of First Embodiment As described in detail above, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, the board can be moved to the right to be used for execution of the third roaring effect, the weak SP definite effect, etc. at the initial position shown in FIG. The body 57R is not exposed than the board left movable body 57L used for the introduction effect and the weak SP finalization effect. That is, a part of the board left movable body 57L in the initial position is visible to the player, while the panel right movable body 57R in the initial position is difficult to see (see FIG. 28). Therefore, the board right movable body 57R is easier to give the player a feeling (impression) that has appeared in the field of view than the panel left movable body 57L. Therefore, the player is more likely to receive a greater impact from the third roaring effect involving the operation of the board right movable body 57R than the introduction effect accompanying the operation of the board left movable body 57L and the weak SP finalizing effect. Improvement is possible.

  In particular, the entire board right movable body 57R in the initial position is disposed behind the right curtain plate 59R and cannot be visually recognized (see FIG. 28). On the other hand, the panel right movable body 57R at the panel right position is exposed from the right curtain plate 59R except for the vicinity of the rotation shaft 57Rx (see FIG. 31). Therefore, the board right movable body 57R newly appears in the player's field of view through the execution of the third roaring effect, the weak SP finalization effect and the like using the board right movable body 57R. Therefore, the player can receive a great impact by executing the third beat production, the weak SP finalization production, and the like, and the entertainment can be surely improved.

  Further, the effects using the panel left movable body 57L include an introduction effect accompanied by a third action and a weak SP finalized effect accompanied by a fourth action in which the movement range of the panel left movable body 57L is larger than the third action. On the other hand, as effects using the panel right movable body 57R, there are a third turning effect accompanied by a fifth action and a weak SP confirmed effect accompanied by a sixth action in which the movement range of the fifth action and the panel right movable body 57R is the same. It is difficult for the player to determine whether the aspect of the effect is accompanied by the third action or the fourth action at the start of execution of the effect using the left panel movable body 57L. Therefore, it is easy for the player to pay attention to the effect performed with the operation of the right board movable body 57R.

  In addition, there are two types of effects using the panel left movable body 57L, those involving the third action and those involving the fourth action, whereas in the effect using the panel right movable body 57R, the panel right movable body. There is only the fifth movement or the sixth movement with the same moving distance of 57R. Therefore, the player can assume the movement distance of the right board movable body 57R at the start of the performance using the right board movable body 57R. Therefore, it is easy for the player to pay attention to the effect using the left panel movable body 57L.

  Further, as the effects using various movable bodies, the third roaring effect and the weak SP determination effect using only the panel right movable body 57R, the introduction effect using only the panel left movable body 57L, and the panel right movable body 57R. In addition, there is a strong SP determination effect using both the left panel movable body 57L. That is, the third beat production effect, the weak SP finalization effect, and the introduction effect are effects using one of the left panel movable body 57L and the right panel movable body 57R, while the strong SP finalization effect is a panel left movable body 57L. And the panel right movable body 57R. Therefore, a player with a strong SP finalization effect as a “complete type” effect using both movable bodies, and a third spear effect, a weak SP finalization effect, and an introduction effect as “incomplete type (missing type)” players. It is possible to show. That is, it is possible to make the strong SP finalization effect more lively than the third hit effect or the like. Therefore, it is possible to add sharpness to the production.

  At time t06, either the introduction effect or the strong SP determination effect can be executed (see FIGS. 37 and 40), and at time t13, either the weak SP determination effect or the strong SP determination effect is displayed. (See FIG. 41 and FIG. 42). Therefore, the player can enjoy the game while expecting which one of the effects executed at a predetermined timing such as time t06 and time t13.

  In addition, the effects using one of the panel right movable body 57R and the panel left movable body 57L include a plurality of effects such as the above-mentioned third roaring effect, weak SP finalization effect, and introduction effect. Therefore, it is possible to produce a variety of effects using one movable body.

  Further, as described above, at time t06, either the introduction effect or the strong SP determination effect can be executed, and at time t13, either the weak SP determination effect or the strong SP determination effect can be executed. It is. Therefore, the type of effect using either the panel right movable body 57R or the panel left movable body 57L when executed at time t06, and the panel right movable body 57R when executed at time t13. It is possible to vary the type of production using any one of the movable body 57L and the left panel movable body 57L. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an effect using any one of the right and left movable bodies 57R and 57L of the same type at different timings.

  Also, the types of effects that can be executed at time t06 can be different from the types of effects that can be executed at time t13, and the combinations of effects that are executed at each timing can be varied. It is possible. Therefore, it is possible to make the pachinko gaming machine PY1 that makes it difficult for the player to get bored.

  The strong SP finalized effect is an effect that suggests that there is a higher possibility of being set in the big hit gaming state than the single-use effect described above. Therefore, it is easy for a player to associate that he / she may be in a jackpot gaming state by a more lively strong SP confirmation effect.

  Further, as described above, the probability of setting the jackpot gaming state is different between the case where the strong SP determination effect is executed at time t13 and the case where the strong SP determination effect is executed at time t06. Therefore, it is possible to vary the player's expectation for the jackpot gaming state at each timing of the strong SP finalizing effect.

  In addition, during the period after time t06, as shown in FIG. 37, the introduction effect using the left panel movable body 57L and the strong SP finalization effect using the left panel movable body 57L and the right panel movable body 57R are sequentially executed. There are times when the strong SP confirmation effect is executed without performing the introduction effect, as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the introductory effect and the strong SP confirmed effect are executed in order during the period after time t06, the effect is changed during the period after time t06, unlike when only the strong SP determined effect is executed. Is possible.

  Moreover, since the movable body used in the introduction effect is also used in the strong SP determination effect, the introduction effect and the strong SP determination effect can be related to each other. Therefore, it is possible to change the effect gradually (stepwise) during the period after time t06.

  In addition, the probability of setting the jackpot gaming state is different between the case where the introduction effect and the strong SP finalization effect are performed in the period after time t06 and the case where the strong SP finalization effect is performed without performing the introduction effect. Yes. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIGS. 34 (A) and 34 (B), when there is a reach loss, the strong SP is confirmed without performing the introduction effect, compared to the case where the introduction effect and the strong SP confirmation effect are performed. It is easier to select the case where the production is performed. On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, it is easier to select the case where the introduction effect and the strong SP determination effect are performed than when the strong SP determination effect is performed without the introduction effect. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the effects executed in the period after time t06.

  In addition, the first roaring effect using the on-board movable body 55k is executed, and the strong SP determination effect using the right board movable body 57R is executed. Therefore, it is possible to notify the player that the reach is performed by the operation of the right board movable body 57R and that the strong SP reach is performed by the operation of the onboard movable body 55k. Therefore, the player can easily associate the type of effect to be executed (reach or strong SP reach) from the movable body that accompanies the movement. Thus, interest can be improved.

  In addition, there is a case where the first roll effect is performed in the second mode using the panel right movable body 57R, and the strong SP after the reach based on the execution of the first roll effect in the first mode using only the panel movable body 55k. The probability that the reach is performed is different from the probability that the strong SP reach is performed after the reach based on the execution of the first roaring effect of the second aspect. Specifically, for example, when the special figure variation pattern “P22” is selected and the first page production effect is executed with reference to the first page production effect selection table shown in FIG. As shown, the second aspect is more easily selected than the first aspect.

  Therefore, it is possible to notify the player that the reach is executed also by the operation (sixth operation) of the panel right movable body 57R, and it is possible to provide a variety of first roaring effects. . Further, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the aspect of the first roaring effect that suggests the execution of the reach before the execution of the strong SP reach.

  In addition, the execution of the reach is suggested by the first roll production of the first mode or the second mode, and the execution of the strong SP reach having a higher probability of winning the big hit than the reach is suggested by the strong SP finalization production. Yes. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's interest in the strong SP finalization effect rather than the first hit effect. As described above, the probability that the strong SP reach is performed based on the first beat production in the second mode is different from the probability that the strong SP reach is performed based on the first roll production in the first mode. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's interest in both the first hit effect and the strong SP finalization effect.

  In addition, it is possible to execute a strong SP reach with a high expectation set in the jackpot gaming state and a first hit effect that suggests that the strong SP reach may be executed. Then, when the first turning effect is performed with the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the subsequent second operation of the on-board movable body 55k, the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k, and thereafter In some cases, the first turn effect is performed with the sixth operation of the right board movable body 57R. Therefore, it is possible to produce a variety of first production effects.

  In addition, the probability that strong SP reach is executed through the first operation of the on-board movable body 55k and the subsequent first operation with the second operation of the on-board movable body 55k, and the first of the on-board movable body 55k. The probability that strong SP reach is executed through one action and the first turning effect accompanied by the sixth action of the right board movable body 57R thereafter is different. That is, the probability that the strong SP reach is performed through the execution of the first roaring effect in the first mode is different from the probability that the strong SP reach is performed through the execution of the first roaring effect in the second mode. Specifically, for example, when the special figure variation pattern “P22” is selected and the first page production effect is executed with reference to the first page production effect selection table shown in FIG. As shown, the second aspect is more easily selected than the first aspect. Since the strong SP reach is highly likely to be a big hit gaming state, it is possible to attract the player's attention to the mode of the first hitting effect.

  Also, when the first turning effect is performed with the sixth action of the right panel movable body 57R at time t02, and when the first turning effect is performed without the sixth action of the right panel movable body 57R. There is. Then, when the first turning effect is performed with the sixth movement of the panel right movable body 57R, than when the first turning effect is performed without the sixth action of the panel right movable body 57R. However, strong SP reach is likely to be executed. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention on the presence / absence of the sixth operation of the right board movable body 57R in the first roaring effect.

  In addition, the reach is an effect that is less expected to be set in the big hit gaming state than the strong SP reach, and thus it is possible to attract the player's interest in the strong SP reach than such a reach. However, when the first turning effect is performed with the sixth movement of the panel right movable body 57R, the first turning effect is performed without the sixth action of the panel right movable body 57R. However, it is easy to execute strong SP reach. Therefore, it is possible to attract the player's attention also in the first roaring effect. That is, it is possible to improve the interest of both the first roaring effect and the strong SP reach effect.

  In addition, a strong SP confirmation effect that suggests that the strong SP reach is executed may be performed with the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R at time t12. The sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R at time t12 is the same as the sixth operation of the panel right movable body 57R at time t02. Therefore, in the same way as the strong SP finalizing effect, it is possible to make the player aware of the feasibility of the subsequent strong SP reach by the first turning effect accompanied by the sixth operation of the right board movable body 57R at time t02. It has become.

  Further, the on-board movable body 55k different from the on-board movable body 57R is provided, and the mode without the sixth operation of the on-board movable body 57R is the first with the second operation of the on-board movable body 55k at time t02. It is the 1st aspect of a roaring effect. Therefore, it is possible for the player to easily grasp the execution of the first turn effect without the operation of the panel right movable body 57R.

9. Modification Example Next, a modification example of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment will be described. In the description of the modified example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. Of course, you may comprise combining the structure which concerns on a modified example suitably. In addition, the technical features in the first embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately deleted unless they are described as essential in the present specification.

  In the first embodiment, the first movable body is the panel right movable body 57R, and the second movable body is the panel left movable body 57L. However, the combination of the two movable bodies may be other than the above combination as long as the first movable body is less visible than the second movable body during non-execution (in the initial state). Specifically, for example, with the first movable body being the panel right movable body 57R, the second movable body may be the on-board movable body 55k or the below-panel movable body 56k that is entirely exposed in the initial state. Good. Furthermore, the first movable body may be the panel left movable body 57L, and the second movable body may be the above-described panel movable body 55k and the panel lower movable body 56k.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the 1st effect was made into the 3rd roaring effect, as long as it is the effect using the 1st movable body, the 1st effect is good also as effects other than the 3rd roaring effect.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the 2nd production was made into two productions, an introduction production | presentation and weak SP finalization production, it is good also as one production or three or more productions. Moreover, as long as it is an effect using the second movable body, the second effect may be an effect other than the introduction effect and the weak SP confirmed effect.

  In the first embodiment, the panel right movable body 57R (first movable body) is not visible when not executed (that is, the entire panel right movable body 57R is not exposed from the right curtain plate 59R). . However, a part of the panel left movable body 57L (second movable body) may be exposed during non-execution as long as it is less visible than the panel left movable body 57L (second movable body).

  In the first embodiment, the third operation of the panel left movable body 57L (second movable body) is moved a plurality of times between the initial position and the first panel left position (see FIG. 30A). It was an operation. However, the movement may be performed once between the initial position and the first board left position. Further, the fourth operation of the panel left movable body 57L (second movable body) is an operation of moving once between the initial position and the second panel left position (see FIG. 30B). However, it may be an operation of moving a plurality of times between the initial position and the second board left position.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the rotating shaft 57Rx (refer FIG. 28) of the panel right movable body 57R is referred to as "the aspect in which the visible part of the 1st movable body increases compared with the non-execution of a 1st effect." With the center, the mode is accompanied by an operation of rotationally moving from the initial position to the board right position. However, for example, it may be an aspect accompanied by an operation of rotating from the initial position to such an extent that a part of the first movable body can be visually recognized.

  In the first embodiment, the panel right movable body 57R (first movable body) is provided with one operation position (panel right position shown in FIG. 31) in addition to the initial position. However, the two movable positions may be provided on the first movable body. Specifically, for example, the position shown in FIG. 43A is the first board right position, and the position shown in FIG. 43B is the second board right position. As shown in FIGS. 43 (A) and 43 (B), the second board right position is a position advanced counterclockwise from the first board right position. That is, the second board right position has a longer moving distance from the initial position than the first board right position (see FIG. 43B).

  In such a panel-right movable body 57R, the third motor 57Rs can be driven to move around the rotation shaft 57Rx. That is, it is possible to move from the initial position shown by the broken line in FIG. 43 to the first board right position and the second board right position shown in FIG.

  In addition, this panel right movable body 57R can perform at least two types of operations, that is, a seventh operation and an eighth operation. The seventh operation is an operation of repeatedly moving the panel right movable body 57R a plurality of times in a short time between the initial position and the first panel right position. On the other hand, the eighth operation is an operation that moves back from the initial position to the right position on the second board. In addition, the aspect accompanying the 7th operation | movement of the board right movable body 57R is corresponded to the "1st small aspect" of the "2nd production" of this invention. Further, the aspect involving the eighth operation of the panel right movable body 57R corresponds to the “first large aspect” of the “second effect” of the present invention.

  In the seventh operation, the right board movable body 57R repeats the movement a plurality of times, so that it is possible to attract the player. On the other hand, in the eighth operation, the board-right movable body 57R has a relatively large moving distance, so that it is possible to draw the player's attention and give the player a great impact. In addition to the effect using the panel left movable body 57L, the effect using the panel right movable body 57R has a plurality of modes, so that it is possible to provide a variety of effects.

  Furthermore, the possibility that the panel right movable body 57R is executed in the seventh operation may be higher than the possibility that the panel left movable body 57L is executed in the third operation. By the seventh operation, it is easy to give the player the feeling that the board right movable body 57R has appeared in the field of view, and it is possible to attract the player's attention. Therefore, it is possible to increase the execution frequency of the effect accompanied by the seventh operation, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

  In the first embodiment, the panel right movable body 57R (first movable body) and the panel left movable body 57L (second movable body) are movable bodies that can be rotated. However, at least one of the first movable body and the second movable body may be a movable body capable of movement other than rotational movement.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the single use effect was made into several productions, such as weak SP definite production, it is good also as one production. In addition, although the multiple use effect is the strong SP confirmed effect, an effect other than the strong SP confirmed effect may be used as long as it is an effect using the first movable body and the second movable body.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the 1st single use effect was made into weak SP finalization effect, if it is the effect using the 1st movable body, effects other than weak SP finalization effect may be sufficient. Moreover, although the 2nd single use effect was made into the introduction effect, as long as it is the effect using the 2nd movable body, effects other than an introduction effect may be sufficient.

  In the first embodiment, the advantageous gaming state is the jackpot gaming state, but a gaming state other than the jackpot gaming state, for example, a low probability high base gaming state, a high probability high base gaming state, a high probability low base gaming state. But you can.

  In the first embodiment, a multi-use effect is executed at the first timing (time t13) and a multi-use effect is executed at the second timing (time t06). The probability that the advantageous game state (big hit game state) is set differs depending on the case. Specifically, the configuration in which the multi-use effect is executed at the first timing has a higher probability of being set to the advantageous gaming state than the case where the multi-use effect is executed at the second timing. . However, conversely, a configuration in which the probability that the advantageous game state is set when the multiple use effect is executed at the first timing may be low. In addition, the above two cases may have the same probability of being set to the advantageous gaming state.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the period after time t06 about the predetermined period which performs a single use effect (introduction effect) and multiple use effect (strong SP definite effect). However, other periods may be used. Specifically, for example, a period of one or a plurality of special figure changes may be mentioned.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, it was set as the structure by which strong SP finalization effect (multiple use effect) is performed after execution of a single use effect (introduction effect) in the period after time t06. However, a configuration in which a single use effect is performed after execution of a multiple use effect may be employed.

  In the first embodiment, the single use effect (introduction effect) and the multiple use effect (strong SP confirmed effect) are sequentially executed in a predetermined period, and the single use effect is not performed in the predetermined period. The probability that the advantageous game state (big hit game state) is set is different between the case where the multiple use effect is executed. Specifically, when a single-use effect and a multiple-use effect are executed during a predetermined period, the gaming state is more advantageous than when a single-use effect is executed without performing a single-use effect during a predetermined period. The configuration has a low probability of being set. However, conversely, a configuration in which a single-use effect and a multiple-use effect are executed in a predetermined period may have a higher probability of being set to an advantageous gaming state. In addition, the above two cases may have the same probability of being set to the advantageous gaming state.

  In the first embodiment, the first movable accessory is the on-board movable body 55k, and the second movable accessory is the panel right movable body 57R. However, the first movable combination may be a movable body other than the on-board movable body 55k, and the second movable combination may be a movable body other than the first movable combination.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the 1st effect was made into reach, effects other than reach may be sufficient. Moreover, although the 2nd effect was made into strong SP reach, if it is the effect performed after execution of a 1st effect, effects other than strong SP reach may be sufficient. Specifically, for example, the first effect may be a prefetch effect, and the second effect may be the special figure fluctuation effect. That is, the first effect and the second effect may be effects other than the reach effect.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, the 1st based on execution of the 1st suggestion effect (the 1st roaring effect of a 1st aspect or a 2nd aspect) using the 1st movable accessory (on-board movable body 55k). Probability of performing the second effect (strong SP reach) after the effect (reach) and the execution of the first suggestion effect (strong SP confirmed effect) using the second movable accessory (panel right movable body 57R) It was set as the structure from which the probability that the 2nd production is performed after the 1st production based on differs. Specifically, the probability that the second presentation is performed after the first presentation based on the execution of the first suggestion presentation using the first movable combination is the first one using the second movable combination. It was set as the structure lower than the probability that the 2nd production will be performed after the 1st production based on execution of 1 suggestion production. However, conversely, a configuration in which the probability that the second effect is performed after the first effect based on the execution of the first suggestion effect using the first movable accessory may be higher. Moreover, the structure which makes the said 2 probability the same may be sufficient.

  In the first embodiment, the preceding operation is the first operation. However, the first operation may be an operation other than the first operation as long as it is an operation of the first movable accessory. Moreover, although the 1st subsequent operation was made into 2nd operation | movement, operation | movement other than 2nd operation | movement may be sufficient if it is operation | movement of a 1st movable accessory. In addition, although the second subsequent operation is the sixth operation, an operation other than the sixth operation may be used as long as it is the operation of the second movable accessory.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the probability that the special effect (strong SP reach) is executed through the suggestion effect (first inversion effect) accompanied by the preceding action (first action) and the first subsequent action (second action). And the probability that the special effect is executed through the suggestion effect accompanied by the preceding action and the second subsequent action (sixth action). Specifically, the probability that the special effect is executed via the suggestion effect accompanied by the preceding action and the first subsequent action is more than the probability that the special effect is executed via the suggestion effect accompanied by the preceding action and the second subsequent action. The configuration is also low. However, conversely, a configuration in which the probability that the special effect is executed through the suggestion effect accompanied by the preceding action and the first subsequent action may be higher. Moreover, the structure which makes the said 2 probability the same may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although 1st special production was made into 1st special production, productions other than 1st production production may be sufficient. Further, although the second special effect is a strong SP reach, an effect executed after the first special effect may be used. Further, although the third special effect is set as reach, an effect other than reach may be used as long as the degree of expectation set in the advantageous gaming state is lower than that of the second special effect. In addition, although the fourth special effect is the strong SP confirmed effect, an effect other than the strong SP confirmed effect may be used as long as the second special effect is suggested.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the specific movable accessory is the panel right movable body 57R, but it may be other than the panel right movable body 57R. Further, although the separate movable accessory is the on-board movable body 55k, it may be other than the on-board movable body 55k and the specific movable accessory.

  In the first embodiment, the first operation is the sixth operation, and the second operation is also the sixth operation similar to the first operation. However, the second operation may be similar to the first operation.

  Further, in the first embodiment, after the introduction effect is performed, the introduction effect or the strong SP determination effect is always performed after the second turning effect is performed, but a configuration in which neither effect is performed may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the so-called “first type” and “digital pachi” pachinko gaming machine PY1 is shown as a gaming machine. However, the so-called “type 3” and “right property” pachinko machines, and the characteristics of the “type 1” pachinko gaming machine and the characteristics of the “type 2” pachinko gaming machine are so-called. It is good also as a pachinko game machine called "1 type 2 type mixing". Further, it may be a pachinko gaming machine called a “ST machine” in which the winning probability is controlled to a high probability state during the ST (special time) period.
