  In the present embodiment, in the effect display device 12, for example, an effect symbol variation game is performed as a variation game performed using an effect symbol (hereinafter referred to as an effect symbol) different from the special symbol. In the following description, the effect symbol variation game may be abbreviated as “effect game”. In the following description, the special game and the effect game may be collectively referred to as “variable game”. The effect design is a design (decoration design) with decoration such as a character or a pattern, and is used for diversifying the display effect. In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by changing and displaying the first, second, and third rows of symbol rows in a vertical direction (scroll display).

  The production game is played in conjunction with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game, and is ended with the end of the special game. In the effect game, a display result (combination of effect symbols) corresponding to the display result derived in the special game is derived. When the jackpot display result is derived in the special game, the jackpot display result is also derived in the effect game. The jackpot display result in the effect game is a combination of effect symbols in which the effect symbols in all rows are the same, such as “333” and “777”. In addition, when a display error result is derived in the special game, the error display result is also derived in the effect game. The outlier display result in the effect game is, for example, a combination of effect symbols in which the effect symbols in at least some columns are different from the effect symbols in other columns, such as “787” and “556”. In the effect game, the effect symbol may be temporarily stopped before the effect symbol is confirmed and stopped.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a first start winning opening 13 that opens to the game area YBa below the effect display device 12 in the game board YB.

The second variable member 17 is a so-called big prize door. In the present embodiment, the second variable member 17 can be operated in an open state in which a game ball can easily enter the big prize opening 16 and a closed state in which it is difficult to enter the game ball into the big prize opening 16. It should be noted that the closed state may be a state in which the game ball cannot be entered into the big winning opening 16. That is, the second variable member 17 is operable in an open state in which a game ball can enter the grand prize opening 16 and a closed state in which the game ball cannot enter the grand prize opening 16. May be. The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a second actuator A2 that moves the second variable member 17 between an open state and a closed state (shown in FIG. 4). The second variable member 17 is operated in the open state in the big hit game.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a gate 18 through which a game ball can pass (enter) in the game board YB above the special winning opening 16. The gate 18 includes a gate sensor SE4 that detects a game ball passing through the gate 18 (shown in FIG. 4). In the present embodiment, when a game ball is detected by the gate sensor SE4, a start condition for a normal game can be established.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a probability variation (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation”) function. The probability variation function is a function that can give a probability variation state (probability variation state) in which the winning probability of winning a jackpot is changed from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability after the end of the jackpot game. The probability variation state is a game state that is more advantageous to the player because it is easier to win the jackpot lottery than the non-probability variation state in which the winning probability of the jackpot lottery is low. In the present embodiment, the probability variation state is given after the jackpot game is over until the next jackpot lottery is won.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment has a ball entry rate improving function. The entry rate improvement function is a function that can give an entry rate improvement state in which the entry rate of game balls per unit time to the second start winning opening 14 is improved. Here, the rate of entry of the game ball is improved when the rate of entry of the game ball per unit time is changed from low probability to high probability, and the game ball enters from a state where the game ball does not enter. Including being able to enter (can enter). The entrance rate improvement state is a so-called “electric support state”. In the following description, a state where the entrance rate improvement state is not given may be referred to as a “non-entrance rate improvement state”. The non-entrance rate improvement state is a so-called “non-electric support state”.

  Further, in the state where the winning rate is improved, the rate of entering the game balls per unit time into the second start winning port 14 is improved, so that the winning ball due to the game ball entering the second starting winning port 14 The payout condition is easily established. For this reason, in the improved entrance rate state, the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of game balls fired (so-called base) is higher than that in the improved non-entry rate state. Therefore, the improved entrance rate in the present embodiment is a so-called “high base state”. Further, the non-entrance rate improvement state in the present embodiment is a so-called “low base state”.

  The entrance rate improvement state can be realized, for example, by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or executing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control in which the variation time of the normal symbol variation game is shorter than that in the non-entrance rate improvement state. The second control is a normal symbol probability variation control in which the probability of winning a normal symbol winning lottery (ordinary winning probability) is varied with a higher probability than in the non-entrance rate improvement state. In the second control, the normal symbol winning lottery is not won in the non-entry rate improving state, while the normal symbol winning lottery is controlled in the improved entering rate. The hit probability may be changed with a higher probability than in the non-entrance rate improvement state. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the first variable member 15 based on winning the normal symbol winning lottery longer than in the non-entrance rate improved state. The opening time extension control includes a control for increasing the number of times of opening the first variable member 15 based on the fact that the normal symbol winning lottery is won, and the normal symbol winning lottery. It is preferable to execute at least one of the controls for making the first opening time of the first variable member 15 longer than that in the non-entrance rate improved state based on the winning of the first.

  Further, even when the special symbol variation time shortening control is executed to make the variation time (for example, average variation time) of the special game easier to be shorter than that in the non-entrance rate improvement state in the improved entrance rate state. Good. When the special symbol variation time reduction control is executed, the entrance rate improvement state is a so-called “variation time reduction state”.

  In this embodiment, the entrance rate improvement state is given from the end of the jackpot game until the next winning win lottery is won, and the predetermined number of operations after the entrance rate improvement state is given (for example, 100 times) special game may be given as an upper limit. In addition, even if the entrance rate improvement state is given up to a special game of the number of operations after the entrance rate improvement state is granted, when the big hit lottery is won, the execution of the special game of the operation number Closed before. In the present embodiment, the number of operations is the total number of times of the first special game and the second special game.

  Next, the jackpot in the present embodiment will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as special symbol jackpot symbols. Each type of jackpot symbol has a jackpot type.

  In the present embodiment, in the case of a big hit, after a big hit symbol is derived in the special game, a type of big hit game corresponding to the big hit symbol is given. In the big hit game, first, an opening effect for notifying the start of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined opening time. In the big hit game, a round game in which the big prize opening 16 is opened after the opening effect is finished. A round game is played with a predetermined upper limit number of times as an upper limit. One round game is ended when a first end condition for winning a predetermined upper limit number of game balls or a second end condition for elapse of a predetermined upper limit time is satisfied. In the round game, a round effect is performed. In the big hit game, when the final round game is finished, an ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined ending time. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending effect.

  In addition, the jackpot symbol of this embodiment is given a probabilistic big hit symbol that gives a probable change state and an improved entrance rate from the end of the big hit game until the next big hit lottery is won, and a probable change state after the big hit game ends. On the other hand, there is a non-probable big hit symbol that gives an improved entrance rate up to a special game of the number of operations.

Next, effects that can be executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
First, the reach production will be described. The reach effect of the present embodiment is an effect that is performed in a state in which the same effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in a specific column (for example, the left column and the right column) among all symbol columns in the effect game (so-called reach state).

  The reach production of the present embodiment includes a normal reach production and a super reach production performed by developing the production contents of the normal reach production. In the present embodiment, the super reach effect is an effect that has a higher expectation level that the jackpot display result is derived in the special game being executed as compared to the normal reach effect. In the following description, the degree of expectation from which the jackpot display result is derived is simply referred to as “hit expectation degree”. In the present embodiment, when the jackpot display result is derived in the special game, the jackpot display result is also derived in the effect game. Therefore, the jackpot expectation degree in the present embodiment can be grasped as an expectation degree from which the jackpot display result is derived in the effect game.

  Next, the pre-reach operation effect will be described. The pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment is an effect that is executed before the reach state is formed in the effect game. The pre-reach operation effect may be executable only when the reach state is formed in the effect game being executed, or may be executable even when the reach state is not formed. That is, the pre-reach operation effect may be an effect that is executed during a period in which the reach state is not formed in the effect game.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the pre-reach operation effect is a mode in which an image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 is displayed on the effect display device 12 before the reach state is formed in the effect game. Done. In the pre-reach operation effect, the operation of the operation means instructed to operate in the pre-reach operation effect is performed within a predetermined operation effective period after the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 is displayed. A notification image for notifying the degree of expectation of a big hit in a special game being executed is displayed on the effect display device 12 in response to the event. In the present embodiment, the operation effective period in the pre-reach operation effect is a predetermined time that is set to a time that ends before the reach state is formed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, in the pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, an image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 is displayed on the effect display device 12. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, a notification image imitating a character string of “chance” triggered by the operation of the effect button 19 within the operation effective period. Is displayed on the effect display device 12. Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, in the pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, an image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 is displayed on the effect display device 12. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3D, in the pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, a notification imitating the character string of “hot” triggered by the operation of the effect lever 20 within the operation effective period. The image is displayed on the effect display device 12.

  In the pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, it is more likely that the notification image imitating the character string of “Intense heat” is displayed than the notification image imitating the character string of “chance”. Expectation is high. That is, in the pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, the big hit expectation is higher when the image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 is displayed than when the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 is displayed. high. In the pre-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, an image that instructs the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 without displaying the notification image when the operation means is not operated within the operation effective period. It is hidden. In the following description, the pre-reach operation effect performed in a manner of displaying an image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 may be indicated as a first pre-reach operation effect, while the operation of the effect lever 20 is instructed. The pre-reach operation effect performed in a mode of displaying an image may be referred to as a second pre-reach operation effect.

  Next, the post-reach operation effect will be described. The post-reach operation effect of the present embodiment is an effect that is executed after the reach state is formed in the effect game, and more specifically, an effect that is executed after the start of the super reach effect. In other words, the post-reach operation effect is an effect that is executed during the execution of the variable game for the variable game being executed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the post-reach operation effect causes the effect display device 12 to display an image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 at a predetermined timing after the super reach effect is started in the effect game. Done in a manner. That is, in the present embodiment, the display of the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 in the post-reach operation effect corresponds to the second operation effect instructing the operation of the operation means. Note that the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 in the post-reach operation effect may be the same image as the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 in the pre-reach operation effect. Different images may be used.

  In the post-reach operation effect, the operation of the operation means instructed to operate in the post-reach operation effect is performed within a predetermined operation effective period after the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 is displayed. As a result, one of the jackpot image and the off-line image is displayed on the effect display device 12. In the present embodiment, the operation effective period in the post-reach operation effect is a predetermined time, which is set to a time that ends before the effect symbols in all rows are temporarily stopped in the effect game. Yes.

  Here, the big hit image is an image showing that the running variation game is a big hit, and the outlier image is an image showing that the running fluctuation game is out. In other words, in the present embodiment, the display of the big hit image or the off-image in the post-reach operation effect corresponds to an operation result effect that is executed with the operation of the operation means instructed by the second operation effect. The jackpot image may be the jackpot display result itself in the effect game, or may be an image indicating that the jackpot display result is derived in the effect game. Similarly, the outlier image may be the outlier display result itself in the effect game, or may be an image indicating that the outlier display result is derived in the effect game. That is, in the post-reach operation effect, at least one of a first result indicating that a winning display result is derived in a running variable game and a second result indicating that a winning display result is not derived in a running variable game It suffices if it can be displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, in the post-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, an image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 is displayed on the effect display device 12. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, in the post-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, the jackpot display in the effect game is triggered by the operation of the effect button 19 within the operation effective period. The result or the display result of the off-stage game is displayed on the effect display device 12. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4D, in the post-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, an image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 is displayed on the effect display device 12. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F, in the post-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, the big hit display in the effect game is triggered by the operation of the effect lever 20 within the operation effective period. The result or the result of the off-line display in the effect game is displayed on the effect display device 12.

  In the post-reach operation effect of this embodiment, the big hit expectation is higher when the image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 is displayed than when the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 is displayed. In the post-reach operation effect of the present embodiment, if the operation means is not operated within the operation effective period, the jackpot display result in the effect game or the display error result in the effect game is triggered by the end of the operation effective period. Is displayed on the effect display device 12.

  In the following description, the post-reach operation effect performed in a manner of displaying an image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 may be referred to as a first post-reach operation effect, while the operation of the effect lever 20 is instructed. The post-reach operation effect performed in a mode of displaying an image may be referred to as a second post-reach operation effect.

Next, the hold display effect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the hold display effect of the present embodiment is an effect of notifying the number of special games that are on hold. The hold display effect of the present embodiment is executed in a manner in which a hold image HG indicating a special game being held is displayed in a predetermined display area of the effect display device 12. That is, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 12 corresponds to a hold display unit. In the hold display effect of the present embodiment, for example, in the display area HR1 for the first special game, the same number of hold images HG as the number of the first special game being held are displayed, and the display for the second special game is displayed. In the area HR2, the same number of held images HG as the number of second special games being held are displayed.

  In the hold display effect, the hold images HG corresponding to the special game being held are sequentially displayed from the left in the display areas HR1 and HR2 of the effect display device 12. For example, in the hold display effect, the hold image HG corresponding to the first special game held first is displayed on the leftmost in the display area HR1, and the hold image corresponding to the first special game held second. HG is displayed second from the left in the display area HR1. In the hold display effect, the hold image HG corresponding to the third special game held third is displayed third from the left in the display area HR1 and corresponds to the fourth special game held fourth. The hold image HG is displayed fourth from the left in the display area HR1. Similarly, the held image HG corresponding to the second special game being held is also displayed from the left in the display area HR2 in order from the oldest held order.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the display mode of the hold image HG in the present embodiment includes a display mode when the hold change effect is not executed and a display mode when the hold change effect is executed. . Specifically, in the present embodiment, the display mode imitating a white sphere (FIG. 5A) is a display mode of the hold image HG when the hold change effect is not executed. In addition, the display mode imitating a green sphere (FIG. 5B) and the display mode imitating a red sphere (FIG. 5C) are those of the hold image HG when the hold change effect is being executed. It is a display mode. That is, in the hold change effect of the present embodiment, the hold image HG is displayed in the hold image HG by being displayed in a display mode simulating a green or red sphere instead of the display mode simulating a white sphere. The expected degree of jackpot in a floating game is shown. In the following description, a display mode imitating a white sphere is referred to as a “white display mode”. Similarly, in the following description, a display mode simulating a green sphere is referred to as a “green display mode”, and a display mode simulating a red sphere is referred to as a “red display mode”.

Moreover, in this embodiment, a red display mode is a display mode which shows that a jackpot expectation degree is higher than a white display mode and a green display mode. In the present embodiment, the hold image HG displayed in the green display mode and the hold image HG displayed in the red display mode correspond to a specific hold image.

  In the hold change effect of the present embodiment, the hold image HG may be displayed in the green or red display mode from the beginning without being displayed in the white display mode. That is, the hold change effect of the present embodiment is equivalent to an effect of notifying a big hit expectation degree in the variable game indicated by the hold image HG by displaying a specific hold image as the hold image HG.

  The hold change effect of the present embodiment is a variation game that is executed before the change game shown in the hold image HG that is the target of the hold change effect, the timing at which the hold image HG that is the target of the hold change effect is displayed.

Since it is established timing, it may be indicated as “at the time of winning”. Moreover, in the following description, the timing at which the variable game executed before the variable game shown in the hold image HG that is the target of the hold change effect may be indicated as “at the start of the game”. For example, the timing at which the variation game executed immediately before the variation game indicated in the hold image HG that is the target of the hold change effect may be indicated as “at the start of the previous game”. In addition, the timing at which the operation means for which an operation is instructed in the hold operation effect is operated may be indicated as “during operation”.

  Next, the hold operation effect will be described. The hold operation effect is an effect of changing the display mode of the hold image HG to a display mode instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20. In the present embodiment, the hold image HG in the display mode instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or the effect lever 20 corresponds to an operation hold image that can specify the operation of the operation means.

This is a display mode for instructing an operation. Further, the display mode imitating the effect lever 20 (FIG. 5E) is a display mode of the hold image HG when the hold operation effect is being executed, and is a display mode instructing the operation of the effect lever 20. is there. In the following description, a display mode imitating the effect button 19 is referred to as a “button display mode”. Similarly, in the following description, a display mode simulating the effect lever 20 is referred to as a “lever display mode”. In the present embodiment, the hold image HG displayed in the button display mode corresponds to the first operation hold image. In addition, the hold image HG displayed in the lever display mode corresponds to the second operation hold image.

  In the hold operation effect, the operation of the operation means instructed in the hold operation effect is performed after the hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode or the lever display mode until the operation effective period elapses. As a result, the display mode of the hold image HG is changed. In the present embodiment, the operation effective period in the hold operation effect is a predetermined time, and is the time that ends before the effect symbols of all columns are temporarily stopped and displayed in the variable game being executed. Is set.

Can also be grasped. Moreover, in this embodiment, the jackpot expectation notified in the hold operation effect is different between the case where the hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode and the case where the hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode. More specifically, in the hold operation effect of the present embodiment, when the hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode, it is notified that the big hit expectation is higher than when the hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode. .

  Further, in the hold operation effect of the present embodiment, if the operation means is not operated within the operation effective period, the hold image HG is displayed in the same manner as when the operation means is operated with the end of the operation effective period as a trigger. The display mode is changed.

  In the following description, the hold operation effect in which the hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode may be referred to as the first hold operation effect, while the hold operation effect in which the hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode. It may be indicated as a second hold operation effect.

  Next, various processes (control) executed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described in detail. First, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 will be described based on a main control program.

First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is a process performed as an interrupt process every predetermined interrupt cycle (for example, 4 ms).
As shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first start winning opening 13 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the first start sensor SE1. (Step S101). When a game ball has not entered the first start winning opening 13 (step S101: NO), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S106. On the other hand, when a game ball is entering the first start winning opening 13 (step S101: YES), the main control CPU 30a has an upper limit on the number of first special reservations stored in the main control RAM 30c. It is determined whether it is less than (4 in the present embodiment) (step S102). When the first special reservation number is not less than the upper limit number (step S102: NO), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S106.

  On the other hand, if the first special hold number is less than the upper limit number (step S102: YES), the main control CPU 30a updates the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c by adding 1. (Step S103). In the process of step S103, the main control CPU 30a controls the information display panel 11 to display the updated first special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets control information (hereinafter referred to as a first hold number command) that can specify the updated first special hold number in the output buffer. In the present embodiment, the control information (control command) set in the output buffer is output to the sub-control board 31 in the next interrupt processing (output processing).

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c (step S104). For example, the random number is a random number used for jackpot lottery, a random number used for determining a jackpot symbol, a random number used for determining a variation pattern, or the like. In the process of step S104, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that it is the random number information for the first special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition for the first special game is satisfied. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself or information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method.

  Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a pre-determines the content of the first special game whose execution has been suspended before the first special game is started, and can determine a pre-read command (pre- Determination command) is generated and set in the output buffer (step S105).

  For example, the main control CPU 30a pre-determines whether the acquired random number value is a value that is won in the jackpot lottery performed in the special symbol start process described later. At this time, the main control CPU 30a pre-determines whether the acquired random number value is a value that wins the jackpot in the uncertain change state. In other words, the main control CPU 30a determines in advance whether or not a jackpot display result is derived in a special game whose execution is suspended. Further, the main control CPU 30a pre-determines which variation pattern is determined by the variation pattern determination lottery performed in the special symbol start process described later in the non-probable variation state. . Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command indicating the result of the prior determination and sets it in the output buffer.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the main control CPU 30a determines that the value determines the variation pattern HP1, it generates a prefetch command SC1 and sets it in the output buffer. Similarly, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command SC2 if it is determined to be a value for determining the variation pattern HP2, and generates a prefetch command SC3 if it is determined to be a value for determining the variation pattern HP3. And set it in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command SC4 when it is determined that the value determines the variation pattern HP4, and generates a prefetch command SC5 when it determines that the value determines the variation pattern HP5. To set the output buffer.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command SC6 when it is determined that the value determines the variation pattern HP6, and generates a prefetch command SC7 when it determines that the value determines the variation pattern HP7. To set the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 30a generates a prefetch command SC8 when it is determined to be a value for determining the variation pattern HP8, and a prefetch command SC9 when it is determined to be a value for determining the variation pattern HP9. To set the output buffer.

  In the present embodiment, when generating the prefetch command, the main control CPU 30a can acquire the first special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 30c and can specify the acquired first special reservation number. Generate prefetch commands as follows: As a result, the main control CPU 30a of the present embodiment is a big hit in the uncertain change state, which variation pattern is determined, and what is the read-ahead command corresponding to the special game to be executed first Can be generated.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the process of step S105 ends, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S106.
In the process of step S106, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second start winning opening 14 based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the second start sensor SE2. When no game ball has entered the second start winning opening 14 (step S106: NO), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process. On the other hand, when a game ball is entering the second start winning opening 14 (step S106: YES), the main control CPU 30a has the upper limit number of second special reservations stored in the main control RAM 30c. It is determined whether it is less than (4 in this embodiment) (step S107). When the second special reservation number is not less than the upper limit number (step S107: NO), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

  On the other hand, when the second special hold number is less than the upper limit number (step S107: YES), the main control CPU 30a updates the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c by adding 1. (Step S108). In step S108, the main control CPU 30a controls the information display panel 11 so as to display the updated second special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets control information (hereinafter referred to as a second hold number command) that can specify the updated second special hold number in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c (step S109). For example, the random number is a random number used for jackpot lottery, a random number used for determining a jackpot symbol, a random number used for determining a variation pattern, or the like. In the process of step S109, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that the random number information is for the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, random number information for the second special game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied. When the process of step S109 ends, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The special symbol start process is a process performed as an interrupt process every predetermined interrupt cycle.
First, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a special game execution condition is satisfied. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the execution condition is satisfied when the big hit game is not being played and when the special game is not being executed, while the execution condition is set when the big hit game or the special game is being executed. It is determined that it is not established. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process when the execution condition is not satisfied.

  On the other hand, when the execution condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a acquires the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 30c, and the acquired second special hold number is larger than 0 (zero). Determine whether. When the second special hold number is larger than 0, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process so as to start the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special reservation number is 0, the first special reservation number is acquired, and it is determined whether the acquired first special reservation number is greater than zero. When the first special hold number is larger than 0, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process so as to start the first special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has a specification in which the first special game and the second special game are not executed at the same time, and the second special game is preferentially executed.

  When starting the second special game, the main control CPU 30a controls the information display panel 11 to display the second special hold number after subtraction while updating the second special hold number by subtracting one. At this time, the main control CPU 30a sets a first hold number command that can specify the updated second special hold number in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 30c among the random information for the second special game. Then, the main control CPU 30a uses the random number value specified from the acquired random number information to determine whether or not to win. The jackpot determination corresponds to a jackpot lottery for determining whether or not the jackpot is successful. For example, the jackpot determination may be performed based on whether or not the value of the random number information matches the jackpot determination value. Further, for example, the jackpot determination may be performed based on whether or not a value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the jackpot determination value exceeds a predetermined value. At this time, the main control CPU 30a performs the jackpot determination using the jackpot determination value corresponding to the current gaming state. That is, the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot determination using the jackpot determination value for the probability variation state when in the probability variation state, while the jackpot determination value for the non-probability variation state uses the jackpot determination value for the non-probability variation state. Make a decision.

  When the big hit lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit process. In the jackpot process, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot symbol of the special symbol based on the value of the jackpot symbol random number specified from the acquired random number information. This determined jackpot symbol is a confirmed stop symbol derived in the special game. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for big hit variation by performing a variation pattern determination lottery based on the value of the variation pattern random number specified from the acquired random number information.

  On the other hand, when the big hit lottery is not won, the main control CPU 30a performs a loss process. In the detachment process, the main control CPU 30a determines a special symbol detachment symbol. This decided off symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the special game. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern for deviation variation by performing variation pattern determination lottery based on the value of the variation pattern random number specified from the acquired random number information.

  In the variation pattern determination lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines any one of a variation pattern that specifies that the reach effect is not executed and a variation pattern that specifies that the reach effect is executed as the variation pattern for the deviation variation. To do. In other words, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 30a determines whether to execute the reach effect by the variation pattern determination lottery when the big hit lottery is not won. Therefore, the variation pattern determination lottery of the present embodiment can be grasped as reach determination as to whether to execute reach production.

  When starting the first special game, the main control CPU 30a performs the same control as the control related to the second special game on the first special game. In other words, the main control CPU 30a performs the subtraction of the first special hold number, the big hit lottery, or the big hit processing or the off processing based on the results of the big hit lottery.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a that has performed the big hit process or the out-of-game process as described above sets a variation pattern designation command instructing the start of the effect game while designating the variation pattern in the output buffer. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the information display panel 11 so as to start the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  When the special symbol start process ends, the main control CPU 30a executes a special game by performing a process different from the special symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the information display panel 11 so that the special game is started. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process. Further, the main control CPU 30a measures the variation time set in the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 30a controls the information display panel 11 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is derived when the variation time set in the variation pattern has elapsed. Further, when the variation time set in the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process elapses, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the effect symbols and issues an all symbol stop command for deriving the combination of the effect symbols. Set to output buffer.

Next, the jackpot process performed by the main control CPU 30a will be described.
In the jackpot process, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol (that is, the type of jackpot) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 30a starts control to give the specified jackpot game after the end of the jackpot special game, and performs processing for outputting predetermined control information. That is, the main control CPU 30a gives a big hit game by executing the big hit processing.

  When the special bonus game ends, the main control CPU 30a first sets control information (hereinafter, referred to as an opening designation command) instructing execution of the opening effect in the output buffer. When the opening time elapses, the main control CPU 30a performs a process for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the second actuator A2 so as to open the big winning opening 16 according to the release mode (open pattern) set for the big hit game, and starts the round game. When the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied after starting the round game, the main control CPU 30a controls the second actuator A2 so that the big winning opening 16 is closed and ends the round game. . The main control CPU 30a repeats the process for executing such a round game until the upper limit number of round games determined for the big hit game is completed. Further, every time a round game is started, the main control CPU 30a sets control information (hereinafter referred to as a round designation command) instructing execution of a round effect in the output buffer. When the final round game is completed, the main control CPU 30a sets control information (hereinafter referred to as an ending designation command) instructing execution of the ending effect in the output buffer. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the jackpot game.

Next, processing related to the gaming state will be described.
The main control CPU 30a generates control information that can specify the gaming state as control information. For example, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 1 designation command (game state information) that can specify the gaming state when the gaming state is in a non-probable change state and the non-entry rate improvement state. Further, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 2 designation command (game state information) that can specify the gaming state when the gaming state is in an uncertain change state and the entrance rate improvement state. Further, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 3 designation command (gaming state information) that can specify the gaming state when the gaming state is a probable change state and the entrance rate improvement state.

  The generated various control information is output to the sub control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing by command output processing performed by the main control CPU 30a. For example, when the game state after the big hit game is in the probability variation state and the entrance rate improvement state, the state 3 designation command is output to the sub control CPU 31a with the end of the big hit game. The game state information is not limited to the exemplified control information, and is set for each game state that needs to be recognized by the sub control CPU 31a.

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

First, the effect symbol variation process for executing the effect game will be described.
In the effect symbol variation process, when the special designating command is input, the sub control CPU 31a determines a combination of effect symbols to be derived in the effect symbol variation game based on the special symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The sub-control CPU 31a determines the combination of jackpots based on the effect symbols when the special symbol jackpot symbol is designated. In addition, when a special symbol off symbol is designated, the sub control CPU 31a determines a combination of effect symbols to be derived in the effect symbol variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. More specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a determines a combination of reach deviations when a fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuations that specifies execution of reach effects is designated. In the present embodiment, the combination of outliers for reach is a combination of effect symbols having the same effect symbols in a specific column (for example, the left column and the right column) and different effect symbols in other columns (for example, the middle column). It is. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a normally determines a combination of deviations for deviation when a fluctuation pattern for deviation fluctuations that specifies that the reach effect is not executed is designated. In the present embodiment, a combination of deviations for normal deviation is a combination of production symbols having different production symbols in all rows.

  Further, when the change control designation command is input, the sub control CPU 31a specifies the effect contents of the effect game based on the change pattern specified by the command. For example, when the variation pattern HP1 is specified, the sub control CPU 31a normally specifies a deviation as the effect contents of the effect game. Further, for example, when the variation pattern HP3 is designated, the sub control CPU 31a specifies the super reach effect as the effect content of the effect game.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 12 so that the effect game is displayed with the specified effect content. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the display content of the effect display device 12 so as to end the effect game and derive the combination of effect symbols, triggered by the input of all symbol stop commands. The sub-control CPU 31a counts the variation time specified from the variation pattern designated when the variation pattern designation command is input, and terminates the effect game when the variation time has elapsed. It may be. That is, the end of the effect game may be controlled without outputting all the symbol stop commands from the main control board 30.

Hereinafter, control for executing various effects in the present embodiment will be described.
First, the control for executing the pre-reach operation effect will be described.

For a pre-reach production lottery. Specifically, in the pre-reach effect lottery, the sub-control CPU 31a acquires a predetermined random number, and the acquired random number value matches any of the determination values for pre-reach effect lottery stored in the sub-control ROM 31b. Whether to execute the pre-reach operation effect and whether to execute it are determined. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a determines not to execute the pre-reach operation effect when it is not in the non-probable change state and when it is not in the non-entrance rate improvement state. In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 31a determines not to execute the pre-reach operation effect when the variation pattern for the second special game is designated from the variation pattern designation command. In other words, in the present embodiment, the pre-reach operation effect is an effect only for the non-probable change state and the non-entrance rate improvement state, and is only for the first special game.

  In the present embodiment, when the hold operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game, the sub control CPU 31a does not execute the pre-reach operation effect in the variable game in which the hold operation effect is executed. decide. Specifically, the sub control CPU 31a refers to the change mode pattern stored in the sub control RAM 31c in association with the pending variable game, whereby the hold operation effect is executed in the variable game being executed. It can be specified whether or not. As will be described in detail later, the change mode pattern is information that can specify whether or not to execute the hold change effect and the hold operation effect. According to this, the sub-control CPU 31a can regulate the execution of the pre-reach operation effect during the execution of the hold operation effect.

  In the present embodiment, when the pre-reach operation effect is executed, the big hit expectation degree in the effect game that is started when the change pattern designation command is input is higher than when the pre-reach operation effect is not executed. In addition, determination values for the pre-reach effect lottery are distributed. Here, in order to increase the jackpot expectation degree when the predetermined effect is executed, the determination ratio when the variation pattern for the big hit variation is specified in the entire determination ratio in which the execution of the predetermined effect is determined The determination value for the pre-reach effect lottery may be distributed so that the

  In the present embodiment, when the second pre-reach operation effect that displays the image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 is executed, the first pre-reach operation that displays the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 is performed. The determination value for the pre-reach effect lottery is distributed so that the expectation of jackpot in the effect game is higher than when the effect is executed.

  When the sub-control CPU 31a determines to execute the pre-reach operation effect by the pre-reach effect lottery, the sub-control CPU 31a performs control based on the determined content. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a determines that the pre-reach operation effect is to be executed, and when the effect mode for displaying the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 is determined, the effect is generated at a predetermined timing. The effect display device 12 is controlled to display an image instructing the operation of the button 19.

The effect display device 12 is controlled to display an image instructing 20 operations. The predetermined timing for displaying the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 and the image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 may be, for example, at the start of the effect game, or after the effect game is started. It may be when a predetermined time has passed. Further, the predetermined timing may be varied according to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 31a displays an image instructing the operation of the operation unit, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the operation effective period during which the operation of the operation unit is enabled, and starts measuring the operation effective period. Then, when the operation signal indicating that the operation means instructed to operate in the pre-reach operation effect is input within the operation effective period, the sub control CPU 31a displays an effect display so as to display a predetermined notification image. The device 12 is controlled. Specifically, the sub control CPU 31a displays the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 and inputs the first operation signal indicating that the effect button 19 has been operated within the operation effective period. In this case, the effect display device 12 is controlled to display a notification image imitating the character string “chance”. The sub control CPU 31a displays an image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 and inputs a second operation signal indicating that the effect lever 20 has been operated within the operation effective period. Controls the effect display device 12 so as to display a notification image imitating the character string of “extreme heat”.

  On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 31a does not display the notification image when the operation signal indicating that the operation means instructed for the operation in the pre-reach operation effect is operated within the operation effective period. The effect display device 12 is controlled to end the display of the image instructing the operation of the operation means.

Then, the sub-control CPU 31a determines to execute the second post-reach operation effect that displays an image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 when any of the variation patterns HP5 and HP9 is designated. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a designates the variation pattern for the non-probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state and the change pattern for the probability change state and the entrance rate improvement state from the change pattern designation command. Then, it is determined not to execute the post-reach operation effect. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a determines not to execute the post-reach operation effect when the variation pattern for the second special game is designated. In other words, in the present embodiment, the post-reach operation effect is an effect only for the non-probable change state and the non-entrance rate improvement state, and is only for the first special game.

The effect display device 12 is controlled to display an image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 at a predetermined timing after being performed. Similarly, when the sub-control CPU 31a determines to execute the post-reach operation effect, and determines the effect mode for displaying an image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20, the super reach effect is started. The effect display device 12 is controlled to display an image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 at a predetermined timing after the operation. The predetermined timing for displaying the image instructing the operation of the effect button 19 and the image instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 may be, for example, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the super reach effect. Further, the predetermined timing may be varied according to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the second hold operation effect is executed, and when the effect lever 20 is operated after that, the display mode of the hold image HG is changed to the red display mode. A change pattern is defined. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the second hold operation effect is executed, the hold change effect is executed thereafter. Thus, in this embodiment, the execution probability of the hold change effect when the operating means is operated differs between the first hold operation effect and the second hold operation effect. That is, in the present embodiment, the execution probability of the hold change effect when the operation unit is operated differs depending on the operation unit that is instructed to operate in the hold operation effect. In particular, in this embodiment, when the second hold operation effect is executed, the execution probability of the hold change effect when the effect lever 20 is operated is the effect button when the first hold operation effect is executed. It is higher than the execution probability of the hold change effect when 19 is operated.

  Further, in this embodiment, after displaying the hold image HG in the red display mode for one variable game, the display mode of the hold image HG is not changed to the green display mode and the white display mode. A change pattern is defined. Furthermore, in this embodiment, after displaying the hold image HG in the green display mode for one variable game, the change mode pattern is determined so that the display mode of the hold image HG is not changed to the white display mode. It has been. In addition, although mentioned later in detail, in this embodiment, a green display mode is a display mode which notifies that a big hit expectation is higher than a white display mode, and a red display mode is a white display mode and This is a display mode for notifying that the degree of big hit expectation is higher than that of the green display mode. That is, in this embodiment, the change mode pattern is determined so that the display mode of the hold image HG is not changed to a display mode with a lower degree of jackpot expectation than the current display mode.

  In the present embodiment, a change mode pattern is defined so that the display mode of the hold image HG is not changed to the button display mode after the hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode for one variable game. ing. In other words, in the present embodiment, the change mode pattern is set so that the first hold operation effect is not executed after the second hold operation effect is executed for one variable game. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the hold operation effect is executed for one variable game, the change is made so that the hold operation effect having a lower execution probability of the hold change effect than the already executed hold operation effect is not executed. An aspect pattern is defined.

Next, the prefetch lottery will be described in detail.
When the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a pre-read command when the non-probability change state and the non-ball entering rate improvement state, a change mode pattern is obtained by performing a pre-read lottery using a predetermined random number based on the input pre-read command. decide. Specifically, in this embodiment, the determination value in the pre-read lottery is assigned to each change mode pattern. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the change mode pattern set to the determination value that matches the value of the predetermined random number in the pre-read lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the change pattern that can be determined in the prefetch lottery is different based on the prefetch command that is input. For example, when any one of the prefetch commands SC1 to SC3, SC6, and SC7 is input, a change mode pattern with only a color change can be determined by prefetch lottery, while a change mode pattern with a button hold and a lever hold with The determination values in the pre-read lottery are distributed so as not to determine the change mode pattern.

  As described above, the prefetch commands SC1 to SC3, SC6, and SC7 are prefetch commands generated when it is determined in advance that the variation patterns HP1 to HP3, HP6, and HP7 are determined. Further, the variation patterns HP1 to HP3, HP6, and HP7 are variation patterns that specify the content of the effect that does not execute the post-reach operation effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the sub-control CPU 31a preliminarily determines that the post-reach operation effect is not executed, the hold operation effect is indicated for the hold image HG indicating the variable game subjected to the pre-determination. Is not executed.

  In addition, when any of the prefetch commands SC4 and SC8 is input, it is possible to determine the change mode pattern with only the color change and the change mode pattern with the button hold by the prefetch lottery, while the change mode pattern with the lever hold is set. The determination values in the pre-read lottery are distributed so as not to be determined.

  As described above, the prefetch commands SC4 and SC8 are prefetch commands generated when it is determined in advance that the variation patterns HP4 and HP8 are determined. Further, the variation patterns HP4 and HP8 are variation patterns that specify the content of the effect for executing the first reach operation effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the sub-control CPU 31a preliminarily determines that the first reach operation effect is to be executed, the sub-control CPU 31a targets the hold image HG indicating the variable game that is the target of the prior determination. One hold operation effect can be executed. In other words, in the present embodiment, the first post-reach operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game in which the first hold operation effect is executed.

  When any one of the prefetch commands SC5 and SC9 is input, it is possible to determine a change mode pattern with only a color change and a change mode pattern with a lever hold by a prefetch lottery, while a change mode pattern with a button hold is selected. The determination values in the pre-read lottery are distributed so as not to be determined.

  As described above, the prefetch commands SC5 and SC9 are prefetch commands that are generated when it is determined in advance that the variation patterns HP5 and HP9 are determined. Moreover, the fluctuation patterns HP5 and HP9 are fluctuation patterns that specify the contents of the effect for executing the second reach operation effect. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the sub-control CPU 31a preliminarily determines that the second reach operation effect is executed, the sub-control CPU 31a targets the hold image HG indicating the variable game that is the target of the pre-determination. 2 A hold operation effect can be executed. In other words, in the present embodiment, the second post-reach operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game in which the second hold operation effect is executed.

  According to this, in the present embodiment, when the post-reach operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game targeted for the hold operation effect, the post-reach operation effect is an operation instructed to operate in the hold operation effect. The operation of the means is instructed.

  In this embodiment, when the display mode of the hold image HG is a green display mode, the prefetch lottery is performed so that the big hit expectation degree in the variable game shown in the hold image HG is higher than that in the case of the white display mode. The judgment value in is distributed. Further, in the present embodiment, when the display mode of the hold image HG is a red display mode, the big hit in the variable game indicated by the hold image HG is greater than when the display mode is a white display mode and when the display mode is a green display mode. Determination values in the pre-read lottery are distributed so that the degree of expectation is high. Here, in order to increase the degree of jackpot expectation when the display mode of the held image HG becomes a predetermined display mode, for the big hit variation in the entire determination ratio in which the change mode pattern defining the predetermined display mode is determined The determination value in the pre-read lottery may be distributed so that the determination rate when a pre-read command corresponding to the variation pattern is increased.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 31a determines a change mode pattern of only a color change and has a button hold even when any of the prefetch commands SC4, SC5, SC8, and SC9 is input. In some cases, the change pattern of the change and the change pattern with the lever hold are not determined.

  Specifically, when the pre-control lottery is performed, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the change mode pattern of only the color change when it is determined to execute the pre-reach operation effect in the running variation game. That is, if it is determined that the pre-reach operation effect is to be executed in the running variation game, the sub-control CPU 31a does not determine the execution of the operation hold effect based on the input prefetch command. According to this, the sub-control CPU 31a can regulate the execution of the hold operation effect during the execution of the pre-reach operation effect.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 31a, when performing the pre-read lottery, includes pre-read commands SC4, SC5, and SC8 among the pre-read commands corresponding to the pending variable game executed before the variable game indicated by the input pre-read command. , SC9, the change mode pattern of only the color change is determined. In other words, when the post-reach operation effect is executed in the pending variation game executed before the variation game indicated by the input prefetch command, the sub control CPU 31a holds the operation based on the input prefetch command. Do not decide to perform the production. According to this, the sub-control CPU 31a can regulate the execution of the hold operation effect while the post-reach operation effect is being executed.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, a specific example of the flow of the game when various effects are executed will be described. In the following description, for the convenience of explanation, the hold image whose display mode is changed in the hold change effect and the hold operation effect may be simply indicated as “target hold image”. In the following description, the variable game indicated in the hold image whose display mode is changed in the hold change effect and the hold operation effect may be simply referred to as “target change game”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11A, it is assumed that the sub control CPU 31a determines the change mode pattern HT10 when the prefetch command SC3 is input. As described above, the prefetch command SC3 is a prefetch command that can specify that the variation pattern HP3 is determined as the variation pattern of the variation game corresponding to the prefetch command. Here, the change mode pattern HT10 is a change mode pattern that can specify the green display mode as the display mode of the reserved image HG at the time of winning. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 12 to display the target hold image HG, which is a hold image indicating the change game corresponding to the input prefetch command, in a green display mode. .

  Further, the change mode pattern HT10 is a change mode pattern that can specify a green display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the previous two-variable game. For this reason, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game two before the target variation game, the sub-control CPU 31a displays the target hold image HG in a green display mode. The display device 12 is controlled. Further, the change mode pattern HT10 is a change mode pattern that can specify a red display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the immediately preceding variable game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game one before the target variation game, the sub-control CPU 31a produces the target hold image HG in a red display mode. The display device 12 is controlled.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the target variation game, the effect display device 12 is configured to execute the variation game in accordance with the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command. Control. Here, from the premise, the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the subject variation game is the variation pattern HP3. Therefore, the sub control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 12 so as to display the display result after the super reach effect.

  Note that, as described above, in this example, the hold operation effect is not executed from the variation game three times before the target variation game to the target variation game. Therefore, in this example, the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is not regulated in the target variation game from the variation game three times before the target variation game.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11B, it is assumed that the sub control CPU 31a determines the change mode pattern HT29 when the prefetch command SC4 is input. As described above, the prefetch command SC4 is a prefetch command that can specify that the variation pattern HP4 is determined as the variation pattern of the variation game corresponding to the prefetch command. Here, the change mode pattern HT29 is a change mode pattern that can specify a green display mode as the display mode of the reserved image HG at the time of winning. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 12 to display the target hold image HG, which is a hold image indicating the change game corresponding to the input prefetch command, in a green display mode. .

  Further, the change mode pattern HT29 is a change mode pattern that can specify the button display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the two previous variation game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game two before the target variation game, the effect display is performed so that the target hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode. The device 12 is controlled. Then, when the target on-hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode, the sub control CPU 31a controls the operation effective period in which the operation of the effect button 19 is enabled, and starts measuring the operation effective period. In addition, the change mode pattern HT29 is displayed when the hold image HG is displayed in a button display mode at the start of the second previous variation game, and the operation button 19 is operated thereafter, or the operation is not performed. It is a change mode pattern in which a red display mode can be specified as a display mode when the valid period ends. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the first operation signal indicating that the effect button 19 has been operated during the operation effective period, or the operation effective period ends without inputting the first operation signal. The effect display device 12 is controlled to display the target hold image HG in a red display mode.

  Further, the change mode pattern HT29 is a change mode pattern that can specify a red display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the immediately preceding variation game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game one before the target variation game, the sub-control CPU 31a produces the target hold image HG in a red display mode. The display device 12 is controlled.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the target variation game, the effect display device 12 is configured to execute the variation game in accordance with the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command. Control. Here, from the premise, the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the subject variation game is the variation pattern HP4. Therefore, the sub control CPU 31a executes the first post-reach operation effect instructing the operation of the effect button 19 after starting the super reach effect, and controls the effect display device 12 so as to display the display result.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the post-reach operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game indicated by the hold image HG that is the target of the first hold operation effect that instructs the operation of the effect button 19, The post-reach operation effect is executed in an effect mode instructing the operation of the effect button 19 which is an operation means specified from the first hold operation effect.

  Note that, as described above, in this example, the hold operation effect is executed during the execution of the fluctuation game two times before the target fluctuation game. On the other hand, the hold operation effect is not executed during the execution of the three variation games before the target variation game, the previous variation game, and the target variation game. Therefore, in this example, while the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is restricted during the execution of the fluctuation game two times before the target fluctuation game, the three-time fluctuation game, 1 During the execution of the previous variation game and the target variation game, the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is not restricted.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12A, it is assumed that the sub control CPU 31a determines the change mode pattern HT48 in response to the input of the prefetch command SC9. As described above, the prefetch command SC9 is a prefetch command that can specify that the variation pattern HP9 is determined as the variation pattern of the variation game corresponding to the prefetch command. Here, the change mode pattern HT48 is a change mode pattern that can specify the green display mode as the display mode of the reserved image HG at the time of winning. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 12 to display the target hold image HG, which is a hold image indicating the change game corresponding to the input prefetch command, in a green display mode. .

  Further, the change mode pattern HT48 is a change mode pattern that can specify the lever display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the two previous variation game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game two before the subject variation game, the effect display is performed so that the target held image HG is displayed in the lever display mode. The device 12 is controlled. Then, when the target on-hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the operation effective period in which the operation of the effect lever 20 is effective, and starts measuring the operation effective period. Further, the change mode pattern HT48 is displayed when the hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode at the start of the previous two-variable game, and when the effect lever 20 is operated after that or without the effect lever 20 being operated. It is a change mode pattern in which a red display mode can be specified as a display mode when the valid period ends. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a receives the second operation signal indicating that the effect lever 20 has been operated during the operation effective period, or the operation effective period ends without inputting the second operation signal. The effect display device 12 is controlled to display the target hold image HG in a red display mode.

  Further, the change mode pattern HT48 is a change mode pattern that can specify a red display mode as a display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the immediately preceding variable game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game one before the target variation game, the sub-control CPU 31a produces the target hold image HG in a red display mode. The display device 12 is controlled.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the target variation game, the effect display device 12 is configured to execute the variation game in accordance with the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command. Control. Here, from the premise, the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the subject variation game is the variation pattern HP9. Therefore, the sub control CPU 31a executes the second post-reach operation effect instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 after starting the super reach effect, and controls the effect display device 12 to display the jackpot display result.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the post-reach operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game indicated by the hold image HG that is the target of the second hold operation effect that instructs the operation of the effect lever 20, The post-reach operation effect is executed in an effect mode instructing an operation of the effect lever 20 which is an operation means specified from the second hold operation effect.

  Note that, as described above, in this example, the hold operation effect is executed during the execution of the fluctuation game two times before the target fluctuation game. On the other hand, the hold operation effect is not executed during the execution of the three variation games before the target variation game, the previous variation game, and the target variation game. Therefore, in this example, while the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is restricted during the execution of the fluctuation game two times before the target fluctuation game, the three-time fluctuation game, 1 During the execution of the previous variation game and the target variation game, the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is not restricted.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12B, it is assumed that the sub control CPU 31a determines the change mode pattern HT49 when the prefetch command SC9 is input. As described above, the prefetch command SC9 is a prefetch command that can specify that the variation pattern HP9 is determined as the variation pattern of the variation game corresponding to the prefetch command. Here, the change mode pattern HT49 is a change mode pattern that can specify the green display mode as the display mode of the reserved image HG at the time of winning. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 12 to display the target hold image HG, which is a hold image indicating the change game corresponding to the input prefetch command, in a green display mode. .

  Further, the change mode pattern HT49 is a change mode pattern that can specify a button display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the previous previous variation game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game two before the target variation game, the effect display is performed so that the target hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode. The device 12 is controlled. Then, when the target on-hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode, the sub control CPU 31a controls the operation effective period in which the operation of the effect button 19 is enabled, and starts measuring the operation effective period. The change mode pattern HT49 is a change that can specify the lever display mode as the display mode when the hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode at the start of the previous two-variable game and the effect button 19 is operated thereafter. It is an aspect pattern. Therefore, when the first control signal indicating that the effect button 19 has been operated is input during the operation effective period, the sub control CPU 31a displays the target hold image HG in the lever display mode. To control.

  Furthermore, in the change mode pattern HT49, the hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode in response to the operation of the effect button 19, and the operation effective period when the effect lever 20 is operated after that or without the effect lever 20 being operated. It is a change mode pattern which can specify a red display mode as a display mode when is finished. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a receives the second operation signal indicating that the effect lever 20 has been operated during the operation effective period, or the operation effective period ends without inputting the second operation signal. The effect display device 12 is controlled to display the target hold image HG in a red display mode.

  The change mode pattern HT49 is displayed in red as a display mode when the hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode at the start of the second previous variation game, and the operation valid period is ended without operating the effect button 19. It is a change mode pattern which can specify a display mode. Therefore, when the operation valid period ends without inputting the first operation signal, the sub control CPU 31a changes the display mode of the target hold image HG to the red display mode instead of the lever display mode. The effect display device 12 is controlled.

  Further, the change mode pattern HT49 is a change mode pattern that can specify a red display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the immediately preceding variable game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game one before the target variation game, the sub-control CPU 31a produces the target hold image HG in a red display mode. The display device 12 is controlled.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the target variation game, the effect display device 12 is configured to execute the variation game in accordance with the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command. Control. Here, from the premise, the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the subject variation game is the variation pattern HP9. Therefore, the sub control CPU 31a executes the second post-reach operation effect instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 after starting the super reach effect, and controls the effect display device 12 to display the jackpot display result.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the hold operation effect can be executed a plurality of times for one variable game. In the present embodiment, the second hold operation effect can be newly executed when the effect button 19 is operated in the first hold operation effect. That is, in the present embodiment, in the hold operation effect, the hold operation effect can be newly executed with the operation of the operation means instructed by the hold operation effect. In the present embodiment, the first hold operation effect and the second hold operation effect can be executed for one variable game. That is, in this embodiment, when a hold operation effect is executed a plurality of times for one variable game, the hold image HG can be displayed in a display mode in which the operation of different operation means is instructed in each hold operation effect. is there.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the post-reach operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game shown in the hold image HG that is the target of both the first hold operation effect and the second hold operation effect, after the reach The operation effect is executed in an effect mode instructing an operation of the effect lever 20 which is an operation means specified from the second hold operation effect.

  Note that, as described above, in this example, the hold operation effect is executed during the execution of the fluctuation game two times before the target fluctuation game. On the other hand, the hold operation effect is not executed during the execution of the three variation games before the target variation game, the previous variation game, and the target variation game. Therefore, in this example, while the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is restricted during the execution of the fluctuation game two times before the target fluctuation game, the three-time fluctuation game, 1 During the execution of the previous variation game and the target variation game, the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is not restricted.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, it is assumed that the sub control CPU 31a determines the change mode pattern HT50 when the prefetch command SC9 is input. As described above, the prefetch command SC9 is a prefetch command that can specify that the variation pattern HP9 is determined as the variation pattern of the variation game corresponding to the prefetch command. Here, the change mode pattern HT50 is a change mode pattern that can specify a white display mode as a display mode of the reserved image HG at the time of winning a prize. For this reason, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect display device 12 to display the target hold image HG, which is a hold image indicating a variation game corresponding to the input prefetch command, so that the display image is displayed in white. .

  Further, the change mode pattern HT50 is a change mode pattern that can specify the button display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the two previous variation game. Therefore, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game two before the target variation game, the effect display is performed so that the target hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode. The device 12 is controlled. Then, when the target on-hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode, the sub control CPU 31a controls the operation effective period in which the operation of the effect button 19 is enabled, and starts measuring the operation effective period. The change mode pattern HT49 can specify a green display mode as a display mode when the hold image HG is displayed in the button display mode at the start of the previous two-variable game, and then the effect button 19 is operated. It is a change mode pattern. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a inputs the first operation signal indicating that the effect button 19 has been operated during the operation effective period, or the operation effective period ends without inputting the first operation signal. The effect display device 12 is controlled to display the target hold image HG in a green display mode.

  Further, the change mode pattern HT50 is a change mode pattern that can specify the lever display mode as the display mode of the hold image HG at the start of the immediately preceding variable game. For this reason, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the variation game immediately before the subject variation game, the effect display is performed so that the target hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode. The device 12 is controlled. Then, when the target on-hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the operation effective period in which the operation of the effect lever 20 is effective, and starts measuring the operation effective period. Further, the change mode pattern HT50 is operated when the hold image HG is displayed in the lever display mode at the start of the immediately preceding variable game and the effect lever 20 is operated after that, or without the effect lever 20 being operated. It is a change mode pattern in which a red display mode can be specified as a display mode when the valid period ends. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a receives the second operation signal indicating that the effect lever 20 has been operated during the operation effective period, or the operation effective period ends without inputting the second operation signal. The effect display device 12 is controlled to display the target hold image HG in a red display mode.

  Then, when the sub-control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the target variation game, the effect display device 12 is configured to execute the variation game in accordance with the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command. Control. Here, from the premise, the variation pattern designated from the variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the subject variation game is the variation pattern HP9. Therefore, the sub control CPU 31a executes the second post-reach operation effect instructing the operation of the effect lever 20 after starting the super reach effect, and controls the effect display device 12 to display the jackpot display result.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the hold operation effect can be executed a plurality of times for one variable game. Further, in the present embodiment, when the hold operation effect is executed a plurality of times for one variable game, the display mode of the hold image HG is changed every time the operation means instructed to operate in the hold operation effect is operated. It can change. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the post-reach operation effect is executed during the execution of the variable game shown in the hold image HG that is the target of both the first hold operation effect and the second hold operation effect, after the reach The operation effect is executed in an effect mode instructing an operation of the effect lever 20 which is an operation means specified from the second hold operation effect.

  Note that, as described above, in this example, the hold operation effect is executed during the execution of the two previous variation games and the one previous variation game. On the other hand, the hold operation effect is not executed during the execution of the fluctuation game three times before the target fluctuation game and the target fluctuation game. Therefore, in this example, the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is restricted during the execution of the two previous variation games and the one previous variation game, but the target variation game is more than the target variation game. The execution of the pre-reach operation effect is not restricted during the execution of the three previous variation games and the target variation game.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) From the display mode of the hold image HG displayed in the hold operation effect, it is possible to give pleasure to guess the operation means instructed to operate by the post-reach operation effect. Therefore, interest in games can be improved.

  (2) Since the execution of the hold operation effect is restricted during the execution of the post-reach operation effect, it is possible to prevent the post-reach operation effect and the hold operation effect from being executed at the same timing. Therefore, it can suppress that a player is confused.

  (3) An operation means in which an operation is instructed in the post-reach operation effect while the expected degree of jackpot is different between when the first hold operation effect is executed and when the second hold operation effect is executed. Is different. Therefore, in the hold operation effect, it is possible to give an enjoyment of guessing which operation means operation is instructed in the post-reach operation effect while being interested in being notified of the jackpot expectation degree. .

  (4) Since the execution of the pre-reach operation effect is restricted during execution of the hold operation effect, it is possible to suppress the hold operation effect and the pre-reach operation effect from being executed at the same timing. Therefore, it can suppress that a player is confused.

  (5) When the operation means instructed by the post-reach operation effect is operated, one of the images that is not the big hit image is displayed. For this reason, it can be said that the post-reach operation effect is a particularly noticeable effect for a player who expects to be a big hit. And in the hold operation effect, since it is possible to give the enjoyment of guessing the operation means instructed to operate in the post-reach operation effect that is an effect that the player particularly pays attention to, it is possible to further improve the interest in the game.

  (6) In the hold operation effect, it is expected that the display mode of the hold image HG will be changed to a display mode with a high expectation level for big hits, triggered by the operation of the operation means, and any operation in the post-reach operation effect It is possible to give pleasure to guess whether the operation of the means is instructed.

  (7) Since the execution of the hold operation effect is restricted during the execution of the pre-reach operation effect, the pre-reach operation effect and the hold operation effect can be suppressed from being executed at the same timing. Therefore, it can suppress that a player is confused.

  (8) The hold operation effect can be executed a plurality of times for one variable game. For this reason, even if the hold operation effect is already executed for one variable game, it can be expected that the hold operation effect is executed again for the same variable game.

  (9) When the hold operation effect is executed a plurality of times for one variable game, the display mode of the hold image HG can be changed each time the operating means is operated in the hold operation effect. For this reason, even if the hold operation effect is already executed and the display mode of the hold image HG is changed by the operation of the operation means, the hold operation effect is executed again thereafter and the display mode of the hold image HG is displayed. Can be expected to change further.

  (10) When the operation means is operated in the hold operation effect, there are a case where the hold change effect is executed and a case where the hold operation effect is newly executed. Therefore, it is possible to diversify the development after the operation means is operated in the hold operation effect, and to suppress the player from getting bored.

  (11) The execution mode of the hold change effect when the operation means is operated differs depending on the operation means for which an operation is instructed in the hold operation effect. For this reason, it is possible to give pleasure to guess the display mode of the hold image HG that is changed in the hold change effect that is subsequently executed by the operation means that is instructed to operate in the hold operation effect.

  (12) The execution probability of the hold change effect when the operation means is operated differs depending on the operation means for which an operation is instructed in the hold operation effect. For this reason, the operation means instructed by the operation in the hold operation effect can give pleasure to infer whether or not the hold change effect will be executed thereafter.

  (13) Since the display mode of the hold image HG displayed in the hold operation effect has a plurality of display modes corresponding to the operation means, the operation is instructed from the display mode of the hold image HG displayed in the hold operation effect. The operation means to be performed can be recognized, and the execution mode of the hold change effect when the operation means is operated can be estimated. Therefore, it is possible to give interest to the type of display mode of the hold image HG displayed in the hold operation effect and to guess the execution mode of the hold change effect.

  (14) When the hold operation effect is executed a plurality of times for one variable game, the hold images HG can be displayed in different display modes in the plurality of hold operation effects. For this reason, even when the hold operation effect has already been executed, when the hold operation effect is newly executed thereafter, an operation means different from the operation means instructed to operate in the hold operation effect already executed. Can be expected to be instructed.

  (15) The operation means includes a plurality of operation means having different operation methods. In the hold operation effect, an operation of any one of the plurality of operation means is instructed. And, since the execution mode of the hold change effect when the operation unit is operated differs depending on the operation means instructed to operate in the hold operation effect, the difference in the execution mode of the hold change effect is intuitively recognized. Can do.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
The sub-control CPU 31a performs the same control as when the operation means instructed to operate is operated even when an operation means different from the operation means instructed to operate is operated in each operation effect. May be performed. For example, in the first hold operation effect, the sub control CPU 31a may perform the same control as when the effect button 19 is operated when the effect lever 20 is operated within the operation effective period.

  The sub-control CPU 31a performs the same control when the operation of the effect button 19 is instructed in each operation effect, regardless of which of the effect button 19 and the effect lever 20 is operated. When the operation of the effect lever 20 is instructed, the control may be different between when the effect button 19 is operated and when the effect lever 20 is operated. For example, in the first hold operation effect, the sub control CPU 31a performs the same control as when the effect button 19 is operated when the effect lever 20 is operated within the operation effective period. On the other hand, in the second hold operation effect, the sub control CPU 31a does not perform the same control as when the effect lever 20 is operated when the effect button 19 is operated within the operation effective period, and the effect lever 20 The display mode of the hold image HG may not be changed until it is operated or until the operation valid period ends.

  When a plurality of operation effects are executed during execution of the same variation game, execution of some operation effects may be restricted on condition that the execution periods of the operation effects overlap. In other words, even when a plurality of operation effects are executed during execution of the same variation game, if the execution periods of the operation effects do not overlap, the execution of each operation effect is not restricted. Good. For example, during execution of the same variation game, both an operation effect that ends before the reach state is formed and an operation effect that starts after the reach state is formed may be executed. .

  ・ Regarding multiple operation effects performed using the same operation means, the execution of any operation effect is restricted, while for multiple operation effects performed using different operation means, both operation effects are executed. There is no need to regulate it. For example, for the first hold operation effect and the first reach operation effect, while the execution of any operation effect is restricted, both the first hold operation effect and the second reach operation effect are both The execution of the operation effect need not be restricted.

  -About several operation effects, it is good also as execution of the other operation effect being possible during execution of one operation effect. For example, the pre-reach operation effect may be executable while the hold operation effect is being executed. When the operation means is operated during execution of a plurality of operation effects, the sub control CPU 31a performs control as if the operation means is operated in one operation effect, while the operation is performed in the other operation effect. Control may be performed assuming that the means is not operated. That is, the sub-control CPU 31a may regulate execution of the other operation effect by giving priority to one operation effect for a plurality of operation effects. Further, when the operation means is operated during execution of a plurality of operation effects, the sub control CPU 31a may perform control as if the operation means were operated in both operation effects. That is, the sub control CPU 31a may not restrict the execution of any of the operation effects.

  -You may change suitably the content notified in each operation effect. For example, in each operation effect, instead of the jackpot expectation degree, the expectation degree to which the probability variation state is given may be informed, or the expectation degree to which a specific jackpot is given among a plurality of types of big hits may be informed. Good.

Each operation effect may be executable in the probability variation state, or may be executable in the entrance rate improvement state. Moreover, it may be executable regardless of the gaming state.
Each operation effect may be executable for the second special game, or may be executable for both the first special game and the second special game. In the case where the hold operation effect can be executed for the second special game, the main control CPU 30a displays the contents of the second special game in the special symbol input process rather than the second special game is started. It is preferable to make a pre-determination in advance and generate a prefetch command that can specify the result of the pre-determination.

  -In the pre-reach operation effect and the post-reach operation effect, the content of the image instructing the operation of the operation means may be changed. For example, in the post-reach operation effect, an image imitating the effect button 19 may not be displayed, and an image imitating a character string “Press the button!” May be displayed. In the pre-reach operation effect and the post-reach operation effect, it is only necessary to instruct operation of the operation means. For example, instead of displaying an image on the effect display device 12, operation of the operation means is instructed by sound output from the speaker Sp. May be. Further, a light emitting unit that emits light from the operation unit may be provided, and an operation may be instructed by light emission of the light emitting unit.

  In the pre-reach operation effect, even when the operation means is operated within the operation effective period, the notification image may not be displayed. In this case, whether or not the notification image is displayed in the pre-reach operation effect is determined at a different determination ratio depending on whether or not the big hit symbol is derived in the special game, such as by lottery using a predetermined random number. Good.

  In the pre-reach operation effect, when the operation means is operated within the operation effective period, control may be performed so that any notification image is displayed from the plurality of notification images. In this case, which one of the plurality of notification images is to be displayed is determined at a different determination ratio depending on whether or not the big hit symbol is derived in the special game, such as by lottery using a predetermined random number. Good.

  -In the pre-reach operation effect, the sub-control CPU 31a is the same as when the operation means is operated within the operation effective period when the operation means is not operated within the operation effective period and triggered by the end of the operation effective period. You may control.

  -The number and type of super reach production may be changed as appropriate. In this case, a super reach effect where the post-reach operation effect is not executed may be provided, or a super reach effect where the post-reach operation effect is always executed may be provided.

  The post-reach operation effect may be executed in a variable game in which the normal reach effect is executed and the super reach effect is not executed. That is, the sub-control CPU 31a may be able to execute the post-reach operation effect when the change patterns HP2 and HP6, which are change patterns that can specify the normal reach effect, are specified as the effect contents of the effect game.

-In the post-reach operation effect, it may be possible to display a resurrection result for notifying that a big hit has been derived after deriving the disengagement result.
-The number and types of change mode patterns may be changed as appropriate. That is, some of the change mode patterns in the above-described embodiment may not be provided, or a change mode pattern different from the change mode pattern in the above-described embodiment may be provided.

  The sub-control CPU 31a determines the execution mode of each effect by determining the change mode pattern when the execution of each effect is determined after determining whether to execute the hold change effect and the hold operation effect. Good. At this time, the sub-control CPU 31a may determine whether or not to execute the hold change effect and the hold operation effect by, for example, a lottery using a predetermined random number.

  -You may change suitably the determination method of the execution aspect of a holding | maintenance change production and a holding operation production. The sub-control CPU 31a determines the display mode of the hold image HG at each timing at which the hold change effect and the hold operation effect can be executed by determining the change mode pattern, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sub control CPU 31a may individually determine the display mode of the hold image HG at each timing at which the hold change effect and the hold operation effect can be executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 31a may determine the display mode of the hold image HG at each timing, for example, by lottery using a predetermined random number. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 31a collectively determines the display mode of the hold image HG at a plurality of partial timings among the timings at which the hold change effect and the hold operation effect can be executed, based on the change mode pattern. The display mode of the reserved image HG at other timings may be determined individually for each timing.

  The number and type of display modes of the hold image HG that are changed in the hold change effect may be changed as appropriate. For example, a display mode of colors other than white, green, and red may be provided, or a display mode imitating a shape other than a sphere may be provided.

In the hold change effect, the display mode of the hold image HG may be changed to a display mode having a lower jackpot expectation than the current display mode.
-In the hold change effect, in addition to the display mode of the hold image HG, even if a different jackpot expectation is notified depending on the timing at which the display mode of the hold image HG is changed or the process in which the display mode of the hold image HG is changed Good. For example, even if the display mode of the held image HG is a green display mode, the display mode is changed to the green display mode when the winning game is changed, and when the previous change game is started. In some cases, different jackpot expectations may be reported. Further, for example, even when the display mode of the hold image HG is a red display mode, when the white display mode is changed to the red display mode through the green display mode, the white display mode is changed to the green display mode. A different jackpot expectation degree may be notified when it changes to a red display mode without being changed.

-The execution timing of the hold change effect may be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the previous floating game.
-You may actualize to the game machine which performs the game image display effect which displays the game image (what is called the said holding | maintenance) which shows the variation game in execution in the effect display apparatus 12. FIG. In this case, the display mode of the game image may be the same as or different from the display mode of the hold image. In this case, instead of or in addition to the hold operation effect, the game image display mode is changed to a display mode for instructing the operation of the effect button 19 or a display mode for instructing the operation of the effect lever 20. An effect may be executed. In this case, by changing the display mode of the game image in response to the operation of the operation means instructed for the operation in the game operation effect, the change game indicated by the game image, that is, the change being executed You may alert | report the jackpot expectation degree in a game. In this another example, the effect display device 12 corresponds to a game display means.

  -The image which instruct | indicates operation of an operation means in a hold operation effect may be changed suitably. For example, the image may not be an image imitating the operation means, but may be an image imitating a character string (for example, “push a button”) that indicates the operation of the operation means. In the hold operation effect, the operation of the operation unit may be instructed by displaying an operation image instructing the operation of the operation unit separately from the hold image HG. In this case, the hold image HG may be displayed in a display mode instructing the operation of the operation unit, or may be displayed in a normal display mode (for example, a white display mode). Moreover, you may display in the special display mode only during execution of operation holding | maintenance effect.

  The display mode that can be determined as the display mode of the hold image HG when the operation means is operated in the first hold operation effect and the second hold operation effect may be the same. That is, the execution mode in the case where the hold change effect is subsequently executed in the first hold operation effect and the second hold operation effect may be the same.

  The execution probability of the hold change effect when the operation means is operated in the first hold operation effect and the second hold operation effect may be the same. At this time, when the operation means is operated in the first hold operation effect, the hold change effect may not be executed, or when the operation means is operated in the second hold operation effect. May not be executed.

  -The operation valid period in the hold operation effect may be changed as appropriate. For example, the operation valid period may be varied according to the variation time of the variation game that executes the hold operation effect. In this case, the sub control CPU 31a may set the operation effective period of the hold operation effect based on the fluctuation time that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern designated by the inputted fluctuation pattern designation command. In addition, the operation valid period in the hold operation effect may be set across a plurality of variable games.

  The sub-control CPU 31a may control to display the hold image HG in the display mode before the start of the hold operation effect when the operation means is not operated within the operation effective period in the hold operation effect.

In the hold operation effect, the first hold operation effect may be executed after the second hold operation effect is executed.
In place of or in addition to the post-reach operation effect, an operation of the operation means that is instructed to operate in the hold operation effect may be instructed in the pre-reach operation effect. In addition, among the operation effects performed for the variable game being executed, an operation of the operation means that is instructed by the hold operation effect is instructed in an operation effect different from both the pre-reach operation effect and the post-reach operation effect. You may do it.

  The prefetch command may be information that cannot specify whether or not the post-reach operation effect can be executed. In this case, the sub-control CPU 31a determines whether or not the hold operation effect can be executed by performing a predetermined lottery with the input of the prefetch command. Then, when the sub-control CPU 31a subsequently inputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of the effect game as the target of the hold operation effect, the operation of the operation means instructed to operate in the hold operation effect in the effect game. The effect display device 12 may be controlled to execute the post-reach operation effect. According to this, even if it is not possible to specify whether or not the post-reach operation effect can be executed from the pre-read command, the sub-control CPU 31a executes the post-reach operation effect during the execution of the variable game targeted for the hold operation effect. In this case, in the post-reach operation effect, it is possible to instruct the operation of the operation means that is instructed to operate in the hold operation effect.

  The prefetch command generated in the probability variation state and the non-probability variation state may or may not be common. In the case of common, the prefetch command may be generated so that it is possible to specify whether it is a big hit in the probability variation state or a big hit in the non-probability variation state, or either one can be specified. May be generated as follows. If not common, the prefetch command may be generated so that it is possible to specify whether or not a big hit will occur in each gaming state. In other words, the prefetch command may be generated so that it can be specified whether or not it is a big hit.

  -You may change the structure of an operation means suitably. For example, as an operation means, an operation means (lever, button, switch, etc.) that can be pushed in, an operation means (lever, etc.) that can be pulled, an operation means (handle, dial, etc.) that can be turned, An operation means (such as a touch sensor) that can be touched can be employed. Further, the plurality of operation means may be capable of performing the same operation (for example, an operation of pressing downward), or different operations (for example, an operation of pressing downward) and the front of the gaming machine (player) The operation of pulling to the near side) may be possible.

  The operation unit may be an operation unit including a plurality of operation units. For example, it may be an operation means including a first operation unit that can be pushed in and a second operation unit that can be pulled.

  -The operation instruct | indicated by each operation effect may be different operation performed using the same operation means. For example, in the first hold operation effect, an operation of pressing the effect button 19 once (so-called single stroke) is instructed, while in the second hold operation effect, an operation of pressing the effect button 19 multiple times (so-called so-called single stroke). , Repeated hits) may be instructed. In each operation effect, an operation (so-called long press) in which the effect button 19 is continuously pressed for a predetermined time or more may be instructed.

  In each operation effect, a plurality of types of images may be provided as images for instructing the same operation. For example, a plurality of types of images including a first image and a second image may be provided as images for instructing the operation of the effect button 19 in the first hold operation effect. In this case, in the first hold operation effect, even if the operation of the same effect button 19 is instructed, the hold change effect is obtained when the first image is displayed and when the second image is displayed. At least one of the execution probability and the execution mode of the hold change effect may be different. For example, as the first image and the second image, images that simulate the same operation means and have different colors may be employed.

  -A gaming machine that determines whether or not to control a game ball passing through a specific area during a big hit game, and whether or not the game ball passing through the specific area is controlled to be in a probable state depending on whether or not a specific sensor has detected it. (So-called V-probability changer) may be embodied. In this case, the main control CPU 30a may control the gaming state after the end of the big hit game to a probabilistic state on the condition that a game ball is detected by a specific sensor. Further, the present invention may be embodied in a gaming machine (so-called ST machine) in which the probability variation state is ended when the number of special games executed after the probability variation state is given reaches a predetermined upper limit number. In this case, the main control CPU 30a may control the gaming state to the probability changing state after all the big hit games are finished. Further, the present invention may be embodied in a gaming machine (a so-called falling machine) that gives a certain probability change state up to a predetermined falling lottery after the end of the big hit game.

-It may be embodied in a gaming machine that does not have a probability variation function.
-You may actualize to the gaming machine which does not have the entrance rate improvement function.
-You may embody in the game machine which gives a big hit game triggered by having detected the game ball with the specific sensor.

-A 1st special game and a 2nd special game may be performed in a hold order, may be performed alternately, and may be performed in parallel simultaneously. Further, the second special game may be omitted.
The function of the main control board 30 may be realized by dividing it into a plurality of boards. The main control board 30 may be composed of a plurality of CPUs mounted on a single board.

The main control CPU 30a, the main control ROM 30b, and the main control RAM 30c may be configured as a one-chip microcomputer.
The function of the sub control board 31 may be realized by dividing it into a plurality of boards. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may include a display board that specially controls the effect display device 12, a lamp board that specially controls the decorative lamp La, and an audio board that specially controls the speaker Sp. You may further provide the overall board which controls a board group centrally. The sub control CPU 31a may be composed of a plurality of CPUs mounted on a single substrate.

-You may actualize in the pachinko machine which does not execute the production game. In this case, a special symbol may be displayed on the effect display device 12.
Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
