Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that performs a prefetch notice effect.

In general, a pachinko machine has a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol, an effect display device that displays a predetermined effect, a starting point that triggers an electronic lottery related to the special symbol, and an electronic symbol related to a normal symbol. There are through-chuckers that trigger the lottery and electric tulips that open and close at the entrance of the start gate. When a game ball launched toward the game area wins the start entrance, an electronic lottery related to a special symbol is performed. At the same time, the special symbol display device displays the result of the electronic lottery by displaying in such a manner that the special symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped. Therefore, the time required for a game related to one special symbol is determined by the variation time of the special symbol.

The variation time of the special symbol is usually according to the variation pattern command determined by lottery by the variation pattern command determining means. Fluctuation pattern command determination means
A variation pattern command for each game is determined by referring to a variation pattern table associated in advance according to the result of whether or not a special symbol is selected from a plurality of variation pattern tables in which various variation times are defined. Yes.

For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a variation pattern table. Patent Document 1 discloses a normal fluctuation pattern table in which the fluctuation time is defined as, for example, 5 seconds or 15 seconds according to the number of held balls, and a time that is extremely short, such as 0.5 seconds, regardless of the number of held balls. A pachinko machine having a special variation pattern table defined in the above is described. Then, when the game state with a short time after transition to the jackpot game (the state where the electric tulip is easy to open) is used, the special variation pattern table is used in the first state with a short time game after the jackpot game until the tenth variation. The normal variation pattern table is used in the game state with the second time reduction after the variation. According to Patent Document 1, it is possible to advance a game from the big hit game to the 10th change in a very short time.

By the way, in recent years, pachinko machines that perform a so-called “prefetching notice effect” have become mainstream.
In this type of pachinko machine, when a reserved ball random number is stored, the main control processing unit determines various lottery results for the reserved ball random number in advance, and changes pattern commands according to the result. The change pattern command is output to the effect control processing unit as a prefetch command. Then, the effect control processing unit performs a notice effect that suggests how likely the reserved ball random number is won by the jackpot from the prefetch command, that is, a prefetch notice effect, It is performed at a stage before the game based on random numbers is started.

JP 2011-15742 A (paragraphs 0084-0094 etc.)

Making a new and attractive production on a pachinko machine is a permanent issue,
Patent Document 1 does not mention anything about combining both the use of the special variation pattern table and performing the pre-reading notice effect, and the creative idea so that the effect becomes novel and attractive by combining these. It is very important to solve the above-mentioned permanent problems.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to realize a new effect in which a special variation pattern table and a pre-reading notice effect are fused in a pachinko machine.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a game board having a game area in which game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, and a random number in response to a game ball winning in the start opening. A special symbol lottery means for acquiring a special symbol using the random number and storing the random number obtained by the special symbol lottery means as a reserved ball random number up to a predetermined upper limit in a predetermined case. A variation pattern command determining means for determining a variation pattern command for each game by referring to any one of a plurality of variation pattern tables, and a special symbol according to the variation pattern command for a predetermined variation time according to the variation pattern command. A special symbol display device for stopping and displaying the special symbol in a manner corresponding to a lottery result by the special symbol lottery means, and a lottery by the special symbol lottery means. The jackpot game control means for providing a jackpot game when the jackpot is won, and a predetermined stage of play is determined from a plurality of stage of play based on the variation pattern command, and the display of the stage of play related to the determination is produced. a performance control unit for controlling to display, in a pachinko machine equipped with, wherein the plurality of variation patterns table, the normal fluctuation pattern table used normally, special variation pattern used for the special change game The special variation pattern table is used in the special variation game of each game that is performed a plurality of times continuously after the jackpot game ends, and the special variation pattern table is terminated Including those used in the special variable game of each game that is performed continuously several times after a predetermined number of games. The special variation pattern table, the special change time varying special symbols for the game are predefined, in said plurality of representation embodiment, the variation is determined with reference to the specific variation pattern table A plurality of special variation effects corresponding to a special variation command that is a pattern command are included, and the special variation game can be executed a plurality of times after the jackpot game is completed. Each time it is acquired, the prefetch command for the acquired random number is output to the effect control processing unit, and the effect control processing unit is one of the special variable games that is continuously performed for the plurality of times. The special aspect of the special variation game is determined to be any one of the plurality of special variation effects, and the content of the prefetch command is a big hit The special variation effect that is different between the case of the game and the case of the loss is determined, the one special variation game is a loss, and when the one special variation game is started, In the first case where the reserved ball random number is stored, and when the one special variable game is lost, the reserved ball random number is stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit when the one special variable game is started. If the stored ball random numbers stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit are all lost, the upper limit of the predetermined number is not stored. The content of the special variation effect in the one special variation game is different from that in the second case where the reservation ball random number storing the big hit is stored in the reservation ball random number storage unit in the middle of the special variation game. When In the special variable game based on the reserved ball random number that is a jackpot stored after the one special variable game and stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit, the first case and the second case The effect control processing unit is configured to display information on the launch of the game ball on the effect display device in the first special variation game. It is characterized by that.

In the present invention, a special variation pattern table is used when a specific condition is satisfied, a special variation command is determined with reference to the special variation pattern table, and a special variation effect corresponding to the special variation command is displayed. Therefore, whenever a specific condition is satisfied, the player can be shown a special variation effect and entertained. In addition, in the present invention, since the pre-read command is considered in addition to the special change command in determining the special change effect, the special change effect displayed on the effect display device is changed by the pre-read command. Therefore, the production during the special variation game can be made novel and attractive.

The above-mentioned specific condition is preferably a probability that the jackpot is won by a lottery by the special symbol lottery means, and the game state after the jackpot game is a jackpot by a lottery by the special symbol lottery means is normal. It will be in a highly advantageous state.

In this way, the probability of winning a jackpot during a special variation game increases, so the number of reserved ball random numbers wins the jackpot. For this reason, the case where the special variation effect is determined in consideration of the prefetch command that is a big hit increases, and the case where it is suggested that the special variation effect actually displayed is a big win increases. Therefore, the player can be attracted to the special variation effect.

In the above configuration, the special variation game is composed of at least three consecutive games, and the special variation pattern table includes a first time for a game that is first performed in the special variation game. The second time for the second game is defined as the special symbol variation time for each game, and the third time for the third and subsequent games. The relationship of the third time satisfies third time <first time <second time, and the effect control processing unit is configured to determine the special variation command determined at the start of the second game, Based on the pre-read command of the third and subsequent games that are input at the start of the second game, the effect mode of the second game is changed to the special variation effects. To a structure to be determined either from the preferred.

According to this configuration, in the first game during the special variable game, the game ball can be won at the start port during the first time and the reserved ball random number storage unit can store the reserved ball random number. When the reserved ball random number is stored, a prefetch command is output to the effect control processing unit. Therefore, in the second game during the special variable game, not only the special variable command at the start of the second game but also the prefetch command Can be displayed on the effect display device. Therefore, the player who sees this special variation effect increases the pleasure of predicting whether or not the third or subsequent jackpot is included depending on the content of the effect, and the game's preference is enhanced. In addition, since the variation time of the special symbol in the third and subsequent games is the third time shorter than the first time, the third and subsequent games can be performed as soon as possible. It is desirable that the first time is a time enough to store up to the upper limit number of reserved sphere random numbers in the reserved sphere random number storage unit. This is because many prefetch commands are output before the start of the second game.

Further, in the above configuration, the special variation effect includes a holding ball random number stored in the holding ball random number storage unit that is determined to be a big hit by lottery by the special symbol lottery means. The first special variation effect indicating the second and the reserved ball random numbers stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit does not include the one determined to be a big hit in the lottery by the special symbol lottery means The pre-read command includes a jackpot command that is output when the reserved ball random number is determined to be a big hit in the lottery by the special symbol lottery means, and the reserved ball random number is the There is a lose command that is output when it is determined that the special symbol lottery means that the game has been lost, and the effect control processing unit is responsible for the third and subsequent games. When the pre-read command is the jackpot command, the game is determined to be displayed in the second special game, while the second command is the second command. It is preferable to determine to display the second special variation effect in a game to be performed.

According to this configuration, whether or not the jackpot is included in the third or later special variation game depending on whether the first special variation effect or the second special variation effect is displayed in the second game of the special variation game. Can be accurately informed to the player.

Further, in the above configuration, when the second game played is a big hit, the effect control processing unit determines to display the first special variation effect in the second game played, In the case of a loss, it is preferable that the second special variation effect be determined to be displayed in the second game.

According to this configuration, when the first special variation effect is displayed in the second played game, the player can not only expect that the third and subsequent games include jackpots,
You can also expect to win a jackpot in the second game. That is, according to this configuration, it is possible to further increase the expectation for the second game.

That is, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a is set to have a 10 times larger probability of winning than the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a.

Similarly to the first special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119a, the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second start winning award port 37b (the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43b is the main signal). A second special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112b that acquires (latches) one special symbol success / failure random number generated by the special symbol success / failure determination random number generation unit 111 at a timing input to the control processing unit 100). Whether the random number acquired by the second special symbol success / failure determination random number acquiring unit 112b is a big hit or not is determined with reference to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. Second special symbol success / failure determination unit 11 to be determined
3b, and when the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating when the random number acquisition unit 112b for determining whether or not the second special symbol is appropriate has changed, the acquired random number is reserved for the second special symbol. A second special symbol reserved sphere random number storage unit (reserved sphere random number storage unit) 115b is provided that stores up to four ball random numbers (in other words, up to a predetermined upper limit of four).

Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of jackpot than the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. More specifically, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b is The jackpot winning probability is approximately 1/30, and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b has a jackpot winning probability of approximately 1/300. That is, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b is set to have a 10 times larger probability of winning than the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. The random numbers corresponding to the jackpot and the loss are the same as those in the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a.

In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the first special symbol success / failure lottery section 119a refers to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a to perform the lottery related to the success / failure of the first special symbol,
The special symbol success / failure lottery section 119b refers to the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b and
The gaming state in which the lottery related to whether or not the special symbol is successful is simply referred to as “special drawing low probability”, and the first special symbol winning or failing lottery unit 119a refers to the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and performs the first special. A game state in which a lottery related to the success or failure of the symbol is performed, and the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b refers to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b and performs the lottery related to the success or failure of the second special symbol,
It is simply called “Special figure high accuracy”.

In addition, as mentioned above, when the reserved ball random number is stored in both the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the second special symbol The one stored in the symbol holding ball random number storage unit 115b is preferentially read out to determine whether or not it is a big hit, and control is performed so that the game proceeds according to the determination (see Fig. 2). Priority processing).

Next, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 will be described. While the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 described above determines whether or not the jackpot is won (whether the special symbol is successful), the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 determines the type of the special symbol. Is for.
In other words, in the present embodiment, determination of the jackpot / losing regarding the special symbol is performed by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, but the content of the jackpot (type, number of rounds, number of electric supporters, attacker release pattern) is a special symbol type determination process The configuration is determined by the unit 120. Details of the above jackpot contents will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 6, the special symbol type determination processing unit 120 sets the value of the loop counter to a predetermined range (in this embodiment, based on an interrupt signal periodically (for example, every 4 milliseconds).
The special symbol type determining random number generator 121 for generating software random numbers by updating each one in the range of 0 to 399) and the fact that the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a is the first by lottery. First special symbol type lottery section 129a for determining the type of one special symbol
And a second special symbol type lottery section 129b for determining the type of the second special symbol by lottery when the game ball is won in the second start winning port 37b.

The first special symbol type lottery unit 129a is triggered by a game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a (at the timing when the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing unit 100). A first special symbol type determination random number acquisition unit 122a that acquires (latches) one special symbol type determination random number generated by the special symbol type determination random number generation unit 121;
A first special symbol type determining unit 123a that determines the type of the first special symbol from the random number acquired by the random number acquiring unit 122a for determining the special symbol type with reference to the first special symbol type determining table 125a.
If the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating when the first special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122a acquires a random number, the acquired random number is up to four (in other words, The first special symbol type determination random number storage unit 124a to store (up to an upper limit of four, which is a predetermined number).
And.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first special symbol type determination table 125a has a table configuration in which a random number for determining a special symbol type and the type of the first special symbol are associated in advance. Specifically, the first special symbol type determination table includes four types of first special symbols, that is, a 15R specific short symbol 1, a 15R specific short symbol 2, a 15R specific short symbol 3, and a 15R specific short symbol 4. 125a, and the special symbol type determination random numbers 0 to 399 are associated with each of the four types of first special symbols. And since the range of the random numbers for determining the special symbol type assigned to each first special symbol is different, the probability that each first special symbol is selected by the first special symbol type determining unit 123a is It will be different.

More specifically, among the four types of first special symbols stored in the first special symbol type determination table 125a, those for which the random number for determining the special symbol type is 0 to 59 is “15”.
R specific short-time symbol 1 ”is associated, and the random value is“ 15 ”for 60 to 259.
“R specific short time symbol 2” is “15R specific short time symbol 3” for the random number value from 260 to 339, and “15R specific short time symbol is” for the random number value from 340 to 399. Symbols 4 ”are associated with each other.

As will be described in detail later, among the special symbol types, “15R” means that the number of rounds of the jackpot game is 15 rounds, “specific” means so-called probability variation, and “time saving” means that electric support is It shows that it is granted. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when winning the jackpot, it will surely be a probability change (however, the ST70 number of times cut probability change).

As is apparent from FIG. 7, the total number of random numbers associated with “15R specified short time symbol 1” is 60 out of 400 special symbol type determining random numbers in total. The probability that “design 1” is selected is 60/400 × 100 = 15%. The selection probabilities for the other first special symbols are similarly determined. The selection probability of “15R specific short-term symbol 2” is 50%, the selection probability of “15R specific short-term symbol 3” is 20%, and “15R specific short-term symbol 2” The selection probability of the “short-time symbol 4” is 15%.

In addition, the second special symbol type lottery unit 129b is similar to the first special symbol type lottery unit 129a,
When the game ball is won at the second start winning opening 37b (at the timing when the detection signal from the start winning opening detecting sensor 43b is input to the main control processing unit 100), the special symbol type determining random number generator 121 is set. The second special symbol type determination random number acquisition unit 122b that acquires (latches) one special symbol type determination random number generated in step S3, and the second special symbol type determination random number acquisition unit 122b.
The second special symbol type determining unit 123b that determines the type of the second special symbol with reference to the second special symbol type determining table 125b and the second special symbol type determining random number acquiring unit 122b are random numbers. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating when the symbol is acquired, a maximum of four random numbers (in other words, up to a predetermined upper limit of four) are stored. 2 special symbol type determination random number storage unit 124b.

As shown in FIG. 7, the second special symbol type determination table 125b has a table configuration in which a random number for determining a special symbol type and the type of the second special symbol are associated in advance. Similar to the type of the first special symbol, there are four types of the second special symbol: 15R specific short-time symbols 1 to 4 in total. In addition, the probability that each special symbol type is selected is also the first special symbol type determination table 12.
The same as 5a. Therefore, detailed description of the second special symbol type determination table 125b is omitted.

In view of the above, there are special symbol types depending on whether a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a and wins a jackpot or a game ball wins the second start winning slot 37b and wins a jackpot. There is no difference in the decision. In other words, even if a game ball wins any of the start winning ports 37a and 37b, the game result is set so that there is no difference in superiority or inferiority.

Next, the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 performs a lottery related to the normal symbol when the game ball passes through the through symbol 21 and the random symbol generator 171 for determining whether or not to generate a random number. A normal symbol success / failure lottery section 177 for determining whether or not to go is configured. The normal symbol success / failure determination random number generator 171 has the same configuration as the special symbol success / failure determination random number generator 111.
Further, the normal symbol success / failure lottery unit 177 is triggered by the passing of the game ball through the through chucker 21 (at the timing when the detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 100). The normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 172 for acquiring (latching) one random number for normal symbol success / failure determination generated by the determination random number generation unit 171 and the random number acquired by the normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 172 The normal symbol is changing when the normal symbol success / failure determination unit 173 and the normal symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 172 determine whether or not it is a normal symbol by referring to the determination table. In addition, a normal symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 174 for storing the obtained random numbers as a reserved ball random number for up to four normal symbols, and a determination table, A normal symbol low probability determination table 176 is a low probability that the probability of winning per Hiroshi view than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 and a high normal symbol high probability determination table 175.

Here, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 has a higher probability of hitting the normal symbol than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176, and more specifically, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is per symbol. Winning probability of 1 / 1.1, normal symbol low probability determination table 17
No. 6 has a winning probability per common figure set to 1/20. That is, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is set to have a much higher probability of winning per regular symbol than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176. And normal symbol high probability judgment table 1
If lottery is performed with reference to 75, in most cases, it will be won per ordinary figure.

In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the game state in which the normal symbol success / failure lottery unit 177 refers to the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 to perform the lottery related to the normal symbol is simply referred to as “general symbol low probability”. The game state in which the normal symbol winning / raising lottery section 177 refers to the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 and performs the lottery related to the normal symbol is simply referred to as “normal figure high probability”.

Next, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 shown in FIG. 4 performs control so that the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 is energized to open and close based on the result of the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 winning a lottery. Yes. The electric tulip operation control unit 180 opens the electric tulip 49 twice with an opening time of 1.2 seconds (interval 0.8 seconds) for each time of the normal drawing during the normal accuracy. , 1.2 seconds open-> 0.8 seconds closed-> 1.2 seconds open in this order). It is controlled to open once in 0.2 seconds. Therefore, as usual, during normal drawing high accuracy, each time a lottery is performed by the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170, winning is almost per winning figure, and the electric tulip 49 is opened 1.2 seconds x 2 times by the winning. Therefore, the player can win the game ball in the electric tulip 49 relatively easily. Therefore, the game can be performed without much reduction of the game balls during normal high accuracy.

Now, the pachinko machine P according to the present embodiment is prepared in advance with three states of “low probability”, “inside certainty”, and “probability variation” as gaming states. “Low probability” consists of a gaming state with a special figure low probability and a general figure low probability. It consists of a game state with certainty and ordinary figure.

In the present embodiment, when the type of the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) described above is determined, the jackpot type, the number of rounds, and the electric support are determined from the special symbol and each of the above gaming states. The number of times and the attacker release pattern are determined. This will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 9, each special symbol type is associated in advance with a jackpot pattern that defines a jackpot type, the number of rounds, the number of times of electric support, and an attacker release pattern.

Here, the “bonus type” defines whether the gaming state related to the special symbol after the jackpot game is a special figure low probability or a special figure high probability. When winning, the “probable hit” is determined so that the game state after that will be highly accurate. That is, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has a specification that is 100% accurate.
In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of games with special figure accuracy is predetermined as 70 times (so-called ST number is 70 times), and a big hit must be won during the special figure accuracy of 70 times. For example, the special figure is forced to fall down with low accuracy (see FIG. 10).

“Number of rounds” defines how many round games are executed during the jackpot game. In this embodiment, the number of round games during the jackpot game is set to 15 rounds (R). However, as will be described below, the same 15 rounds can be obtained because the attacker release pattern is different. There is a difference in the number of prize balls.

The “attacker opening pattern” defines the opening pattern of the attacker device 41 during the jackpot game, and the “full opening” is a pattern in which the attacker device 41 is opened for 15 rounds for a long time, “Fast open” is a pattern in which the attacker device 41 is opened for only four rounds for a long time.

More specifically, in the case of “full release”, the attacker device 41 is opened once after the round game is started, and 10 game balls are won in the exposed big winning opening 42. Or when the end condition (round end condition) that 30 seconds have passed since the start of the round game is satisfied, this round game is played 15 times (round) .

“Fast open” means that the round game will be played 15 times (round).
However, the round game end conditions are different between the 1st to 4th rounds and the 5th to 15th rounds. More specifically, in the first to fourth rounds, as in the case of “full release”, the attacker device 41 is opened once after the start of the round game, and the exposed big prize opening 42 is exposed.
In this case, the game ends when either of 10 game balls wins or when 30 seconds have passed since the start of the round game is satisfied (round end condition).

On the other hand, from the 5th to the 15th round, the attacker device 41 after the round game starts.
Will be opened once and 10 game balls will be awarded to the exposed big winning opening 42, or 0.2 seconds have passed since the start of the round game (round end condition) The content is to end when it is established. That is, in the case of high-speed opening, winning balls can be expected until the 1st to 4th rounds, but the attacker device 41 is 1 until the 5th to 15th rounds.
Since the round is only open for up to 0.2 seconds, it is not possible to win a prize ball.

As described above, since the attacker release pattern is different between “full release” and “high speed release”, about 1500 prize balls can be obtained with “full release”, but about 400 with “high speed release”.
Only one piece can be expected to win the prize ball. That is, it can be said that the high-speed release is a pattern in which only four winning balls can be obtained in spite of the fact that there are 15 rounds of the jackpot game.

Note that the jackpot game control unit 160 controls the operation of the attacker device 41 to provide a jackpot game with an attacker opening pattern corresponding to the type of special symbol.

In addition, the “number of times of electric support” is the number of games that can be played while receiving support from the electric tulip 49, and more specifically, the game state is usually in a highly accurate state,
It is the number of times (number of games) that the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 can perform the lottery. In this embodiment, there are three types of power support times: 20, 40 times, and 70 times. However, if a big hit is won before the set power support number is reached, at that time It goes without saying that the remaining number of electric supporters disappears, and the number of electric supporters according to the type of special symbol determined at the time of a new winning will be given.

Here, as described above, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of games with high accuracy is 70 times (ST
Therefore, when the number of times of electric support is 20 times and 40 times, there is a state where there is no electric support even though the special figure is highly accurate. On the other hand, when the electric support is 70 times,
Electric support is always given for 70 times of special figure high accuracy.

In this way, the jackpot pattern is composed of the contents that define the jackpot type, the number of rounds, the attacker opening pattern, and the number of power support, and when the type of special symbol is determined, it depends on the type The game is controlled according to the jackpot pattern. The correspondence between the types of special symbols and jackpot patterns is as follows.

“15R specified short-time symbol 1” is a chance per odd change, and the game state at the time of big hit is “low probability”
In the case of “in-progress”, the power support count is 20 times, and in the case of “accuracy change”, the power support count is 70 times.
The number of rounds is 15 rounds (substantially 4 rounds), and the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “fast opening”, and corresponds to the jackpot pattern with about 400 balls in one jackpot game.

“15R specific time short possession design 2” is per probability change, and the game state at the time of big hit “low probability”
In the case of “in-progress”, the power support count is 20 times, and in the case of “accuracy change”, the power support count is 70 times.
The number of rounds is 15 rounds, and the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”, corresponding to the jackpot pattern with about 1500 balls in one jackpot game.

“15R specific time short possession pattern 3” is per odd change, and the gaming state at the time of big hit is “low probability”
In the case of “in-progress”, the power support count is 40 times, and in the case of “accuracy change”, the power support count is 70 times.
The number of rounds is 15 rounds, and the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”, corresponding to the jackpot pattern with about 1500 balls in one jackpot game.

“15R specific time short possession pattern 4” is per probability change, and the game state at the time of big hit “low probability”
In any case of “in-progress” and “probability change”, the number of power support is 70 times, the number of rounds is 15 rounds, and the pattern of opening the attacker in the jackpot game is “full open”.
It corresponds to a jackpot pattern with about 1500 balls in a single jackpot game.

Next, the game mode of this pachinko machine P and the transition opportunity of each game mode will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, in this embodiment, the game state is “low probability”, “in-progress”,
There are three "probability". On the other hand, there are three game modes: a normal mode, a chance mode, and a super chance mode. This game mode is determined from the viewpoint of game production. Therefore, even in the same mode, the gaming state may be different. For example, even in the normal mode, there are cases where the gaming state is low in probability and in doubt. Even if the gaming state is probable, there are a chance mode and a super chance mode. Hereinafter, the conditions under which the game mode transition is performed will be described.

First, in the initial state, the user stays in the normal mode. Of course, the gaming state at this time is low probability. In this normal mode, when the jackpot is won and the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is 15R specific short-lived symbols 1 to 3, the game shifts to the chance mode after the jackpot game (see route (A) in FIG. 10). . This chance mode is 15R specific time short pattern 1 ~
In the case of 2, 20 games are continued at the maximum, and in the case of 15R specified short time symbol 3, 40 games are continued at the maximum. In other words, the chance mode continues for the number of times of power support. When the number of games corresponding to the number of times of power support is executed, the mode is changed from the chance mode to the normal mode (see the route (B) in the figure).

However, the game state in the normal mode that has been transferred with the end of the electric support is indefinite. That means
The electric support is completed 20 times or 40 times depending on the type of special symbol, but this embodiment is S
Since the specification is T70 times, the state of high accuracy of the special figure is continued up to 70 times after the end of the jackpot. Therefore, since the high accuracy of the special figure is continued even after the electric support is completed, 30 games or 50 games after the chance mode are in an indefinite state. Then, after 30 games or 50 games of the normal mode in the in-progress state are continued, the in-progress state is ended, so that the game mode shifts from the in-probably normal mode to the low-accuracy normal mode (see FIG. Route (C)). Note that the normal mode and the low-accuracy normal mode cannot be visually distinguished from each other.

On the other hand, when the big win is won in the low-accuracy normal mode, and the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is 15R specified short-time symbol 4, the game shifts to the super chance mode after the jackpot game (route (G) in FIG. 10). reference). This super chance mode continues for up to 70 games. In other words, the super chance mode continues for the number of times of power support. Then, when the number of games corresponding to the number of times of power support is executed, the chance mode shifts to the low probability normal mode (see the route (H) in the figure). From this, when the special symbol type is determined to be the 15R specific short-time symbol 4, the electric support is given as many times as the ST count.
It means that you can always play 70 games after the jackpot game with electric support.

In addition, when winning the jackpot during the chance mode, even if the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is any of the 15R specified short-lived symbols 1 to 4, it becomes the super chance mode after the jackpot game (same as above). (See route (D) in the figure). In addition, in the normal mode that has been transferred from the chance mode with the end of the electric support, the gaming state is indeterminate, so even if you win the jackpot, the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is 15R If the symbols are 1 to 3, the game shifts to the chance mode after the jackpot game (see the route (E) in the figure). On the other hand, if the special symbol type determined at the time of winning is 15R specified short-time symbol 4, the game becomes a super chance mode after the jackpot game (see route (F) in the same figure). Also, in Super Chance Mode, if you win a jackpot, any kind of special symbol,
After the jackpot game, the player again enters the super chance mode (see route (I) in the figure). In other words, if the jackpot is won during the electric support, the super chance mode is set regardless of the type of the special symbol, and if the jackpot is won at any other time, the super chance mode is set only when the 15R specific time short symbol 4 is set.

Next, determination of the variation pattern command in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the fluctuation pattern command is a special symbol fluctuation time and various effects (
This is a command for determining a pre-reading notice effect). This variation pattern command is determined by the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 at the start of the game and when the reserved ball random number is stored (at the time of storage). In the following description, the variation pattern command determined at the time of holding and storing is distinguished from the variation pattern command determined at the start of the game by referring to “prefetch command”. In addition, special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f described later.
When it is necessary to distinguish the fluctuation pattern command determined with reference to the fluctuation pattern command determined with reference to the other fluctuation pattern table, it is referred to as “special fluctuation command” as appropriate. To.

As shown in FIG. 11, the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 includes a special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 for generating a variation pattern random number used to determine a variation pattern command, and a first start winning port 37a. The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a for determining the first variation pattern command based on the winning of the game ball in the game and the second variation based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 37b. And a second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b for determining a pattern command.

The special symbol variation pattern random number generator 131 sets the value of the loop counter to a predetermined range (0 to 19 in this embodiment) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 4 milliseconds).
9), software random numbers are generated by updating them one by one.

The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a includes the random numbers for the special symbol variation pattern generated by the special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when the game ball is won in the first start winning opening 37a. The first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 1 for acquiring one random number from
32a and a first special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135a that determines a first variation pattern command from the random number acquired by the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a with reference to the special symbol common variation pattern command table 134. When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating, the first special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit stores up to four random numbers acquired by the first special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a. 133a. The first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a receives one game ball in the first starting winning opening 37a, and the first special symbol variation lottery unit 119a receives 1 per winning as well as the first special symbol winning lottery unit 119a.
Get random numbers for two special symbol variation patterns.

The second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b is also the first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a.
Similarly, one random number is acquired from the random numbers for the special symbol variation pattern generated by the special symbol variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when the game ball has won the second start winning opening 37b. From the random number acquired by the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b and the random number acquired by the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132b, the second variation pattern command is determined with reference to the special symbol common variation pattern command table 134. When the second special symbol variation pattern determining unit 135b and the first special symbol or the second special symbol are fluctuating, the random number acquired by the second special symbol variation pattern random number acquiring unit 132b stores up to four random numbers. And a second special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133b. The second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b, when one game ball wins the second start winning opening 37b, similarly to the second special symbol success / failure lottery unit 119b, for one special symbol variation pattern per winning. Get a random number.

The special symbol common variation pattern command table 134 is a table used in common by both the first special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130a and the second special symbol variation pattern lottery unit 130b, as shown in FIG. A total of six tables including a normal variation pattern table 134a, a shortened variation pattern table 134b, a first special variation pattern table 134c, a second special variation pattern table 134d, a third special variation pattern table 134e, and a fourth special variation pattern table 134f. I have.

As shown in FIG. 13, the normal variation pattern table 134a is referred to when the gaming state is low-probability and internal-probability, that is, when the gaming mode is the normal mode. This normal variation pattern table 134a is used until the next jackpot winning (except during the special variation game). Also, as shown in FIG. 13, the shortened variation pattern table 134b is referred to when the game state is a certain change, that is, when the game mode is the chance mode or the super chance mode (except during the special variation game). ).

The special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f are tables that are referred to when a specific condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the specific condition is that the number of games after the jackpot game has reached a predetermined number. Therefore, the special variation pattern table is referred to for five games after the number of games after the jackpot game reaches a predetermined number. However, which special variation pattern table is referred to depends on the type of special symbol at the time of jackpot. In the following description, the five games in which this special variation pattern table is used will be referred to as “special variation game” (special variation game) as appropriate.

In the first special variation pattern table 134c, as shown in FIG. 13, the special symbol type at the time of winning the jackpot is 15R specified short-lived symbol 1, and 21 games are counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during the 5th game from the 25th game to the 25th game. In the case of 15R specified short-lived symbol 1, the number of electric support after the big hit game is 20 times or 70 times (see FIG. 9) depending on the game state, so this first special variation pattern table 134
The gaming state when c is referred to is indefinite when the electric support is 20 times, and is probable when the electric support is 70 times.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the second special variation pattern table 134d, the special symbol type at the time of winning the jackpot is 15R specified short-time symbol 2 and 31 games counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during 5 games from the first game to the 35th game. Similarly, the gaming state when the second special variation pattern table 134d is referred to has both a certainty and certainty.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the third special variation pattern table 134e, the special symbol type at the time of winning the jackpot is 15R specific time short-hauled symbol 3, and 41 games counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during 5 games from the first game to the 45th game. Similarly, the gaming state when the third special variation pattern table 134e is referred to has both a certainty and certainty.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the fourth special variation pattern table 134f, the special symbol type at the time of winning the jackpot is 15R specified short-time symbol 4 and 51 games counted after the jackpot game based on the jackpot winning is over. Reference is made only during 5 games from the first to 55th game. In the case of 15R specific time short possession design 4, the number of power support after jackpot game is 70 times (see Fig. 9)
Therefore, the gaming state when the fourth special variation pattern table 134f is referred to is surely variable.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the special variation game is played continuously for five games, and at which timing the special variation game is performed after the jackpot game,
It depends on the type of special symbol at the time of the big hit.

Next, the fluctuation pattern tables 134a and 134b define the fluctuation time and reach contents of special figure 1 (first special symbol) and special figure 2 (second special symbol). In addition, the special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f are defined in advance in accordance with the number of games without special distinction between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. First, the characteristics of the variation time of each table will be described with reference to FIG.
Will be described using.

As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a is set so that the main fluctuation time of the special figure 1 differs depending on the number of reserved memories (the number of reserved spherical random numbers). Specifically, the number of reserved memories stored in the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1
In the case of FIG. 1, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 12.5 seconds, and when the number of reserved memories is two, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 12.5 seconds and the number of reserved memories is 3 In this case, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 7 seconds, and when the number of reserved memories is 4, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 4 seconds. That is, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved memories increases. Further, the normal fluctuation pattern table 134a is defined such that the main fluctuation time for the special figure 2 is exactly the same as that of the special figure 1. The main fluctuation time is a normal loss fluctuation time in which reach is not established (or is not handled as reach).

Further, the normal variation pattern table 134a has a probability of reaching the special figure 1 and special figure 2 as shown in FIG.
Both are set to 1/10, and the fluctuation time at reach is 20 seconds to 1 for both Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2
It is set to 20 seconds. In the case of a big hit, the fluctuation time at the time of reach is always selected (details will be described later).

As shown in FIG. 14A, the shortening variation pattern table 134b is set so that the main variation time of the special figure 1 varies depending on the number of reserved storage. Specifically, when the number of reserved memories stored in the first special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115a is 0 and 1, the main variation time of the special figure 1 is set to 7 seconds, and the number of reserved memories When the number is two, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 4 seconds, and when the number of reserved storage is 3 and 4, the main fluctuation time of FIG. 1 is set to 2 seconds. Also in the shortened variation pattern table 134b, the main variation time is set to be shorter as the number of reserved storage increases. Further, the shortened fluctuation pattern table 134b defines that the main fluctuation time for the special figure 2 is exactly the same as that for the special figure 1.

In addition, the shortened variation pattern table 134b has a probability of reach as shown in FIG.
Both are set to 1/20, and the fluctuation time at reach is 60 seconds to 1 for both Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2
It is set to 20 seconds. In the case of a big hit, the fluctuation time during reach is always selected.

Here, comparing the normal variation pattern table 134a and the shortened variation pattern table 134b, it can be seen that the following relationship holds for the variation time of the special symbol. That is, the main variation time is shorter in the shortened variation pattern table 134b in all the numbers of stored storage. Further, the reach probability is lower in the shortened variation pattern table 134b.
Therefore, the time required for one game is relatively shorter in the shortened variation pattern table 134b than in the normal variation pattern table 134a.

Moreover, as shown in FIG.14 (b), the special fluctuation pattern tables 134c-f prescribe | regulate the fluctuation time in each game between five games. The variation time for the special symbol of the first game is 20 seconds (first time), the second game is 90 seconds (second time), the third to fifth games are 2 seconds (third time), etc. (The relationship of 3rd time <1st time <2nd time is established). Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of games after the jackpot game is a predetermined number (2
1st game, 31st game, 41st game, or 51st game)
From there, a game using special variation is started for 5 games, and the first game between the 5 games is 20 seconds, the second game is 90 seconds, and the 3rd to 5th games are 2 seconds. Such a game will be played.

Then, when the number of games related to the special symbol after the jackpot game reaches a predetermined number, the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 determines a predetermined special variation pattern table 134c to f.
, The special variation command is determined, and the special variation command is output to the effect control processing unit 201.

Next, a specific configuration of the variation pattern command will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 17 show the correspondence between the special symbol variation pattern random numbers and variation pattern commands for the normal variation pattern table 134a, and reach contents and variation times defined in each variation pattern command data. . In addition, FIG.
The fourth special variation pattern table 134 is representatively selected from the fourth special variation pattern tables.
The correspondence between random numbers for special symbol variation patterns and special variation commands when f is referenced, and reach contents and variation times defined in each special variation command are shown.

As shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, even when the normal variation pattern table 134a is referred to, various conditions (the presence / absence of jackpot, the type of special symbol, the number of reserved memories) when determining the variation pattern command are determined. In response, different variation pattern commands are determined. This will be described in detail below.

As shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, the variation pattern command is composed of 2-byte data of a preceding command and a succeeding command. The data of the preceding command is A0H, A1H, A2H
, A3H, A4H, A5H, A6H (all are displayed in hexadecimal). “A0H”
Is that the jackpot is won and the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 1 is specified. “A1H” specifies that the jackpot is won and that the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 2. “A2H” specifies that the jackpot is won and the type of the special symbol is 15R specific short-time symbol 3. “A3H” wins the jackpot and stipulates that the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 4. "
“A4H” is a loss and defines that the number of reserved storage is 0-2. “A5H” is a loss and specifies that the number of reserved storage is three. "
“A6H” is a loss and specifies that the number of reserved storage is four.

On the other hand, the data of the subsequent command stipulates the contents of reach and the variation time of special symbols.
It exists from 00H to 0BH (both are expressed in hexadecimal). “00H” defines a normal reach and a variation time of 20 seconds. “01H” defines a long reach and a fluctuation time of 30 seconds. “02H” is defined as a confrontation reach and a fluctuation time of 60 seconds. “03H” is defined as a confrontation reach and a fluctuation time of 90 seconds. “04H” is defined as a story-type reach and a fluctuation time of 60 seconds. “05H” is defined as a story-type reach and a fluctuation time of 90 seconds. "06H" is a story-based reach with a variable time of 120
It is specified to be seconds. “07H” defines that the fluctuation time is 90 seconds in the live-action type reach. “08H” is defined as a live-action reach and a fluctuation time of 120 seconds (“08H” is a premier because it is generated only at the time of a big hit). “09H” is defined as a loss (no reach) and a fluctuation time of 12.5 seconds. “0AH” is defined as a loss (no reach) and a variation time of 7 seconds. “0BH” is defined as a loss (no reach) and a variation time of 4 seconds.

Then, the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130, when starting the game, depending on the lottery result of the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, the lottery result of the special symbol type determination processing unit 120, and the number of reserved memories, FIG. Normal variation pattern tables 134a-1 to 134a-7 shown in FIG.
The variation pattern command is determined based on the special symbol variation pattern random numbers acquired by the special symbol variation pattern random number acquisition units 132a and 132b.

The variation pattern command No. determined in each table. Are different from each other, the variation pattern command No. If it sees, it will be understood whether it is a big hit, whether the reach occurs, what kind of reach is applied, and how many seconds the fluctuation time is. For example, the variation pattern command No. When 19A is input, the command No. From the above, it can be seen that it is a jackpot and is 15R specific time short symbol 1 and that it is 120 seconds fluctuation in live-action reach (
15 (a)), the variation pattern No. When 14D is input, the command No. It is understood that the jackpot and 15R specified short time symbol 4 and that the fluctuation is 90 seconds in the confrontation reach (see FIG. 16 (b)). When 10G is input, it is understood that it is a loss and a 4-second fluctuation that does not cause reach (see FIG. 17C).
.

Here, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 show the variation pattern command determined at the time of jackpot, but as is clear from these figures, the subsequent command is 09H, 0AH, or 0BH.
There is no case. That is, the variation pattern command in which the reach content is defined as lost (no reach) is not included. Therefore, reach always occurs at the big hit.

It should be noted that the variation pattern command No. Although the difference and the contents of the fluctuation time and reach defined in each fluctuation pattern command are different, the configuration is the same as that of the normal fluctuation pattern tables 134a-1 to 134a-7, and the description thereof is omitted here.

Next, a specific configuration of the special variation command will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, the special variation command is similarly composed of 2-byte data of a preceding command and a succeeding command. There are 15 types of data of the preceding command: C0H to C4H, D0H to D4H, and E0H to E4H (all expressed in hexadecimal). C0H to C4H indicate that it is the first game of the special variation game, and D0H to D4H indicate that it is the second game of the special variation game, and E0H to E4.
H respectively defines that it is the third to fifth games of the special variation game.

And “C0H” wins the jackpot and the special symbol type is 15R.
“C1H” wins the jackpot and the special symbol type is 15R specified short-time symbol 2; “C2H” wins the jackpot and the special symbol type is 15R specific short-time symbol 3 “C3H” wins the jackpot, the special symbol type is 15R specified short-time symbol 4 and “C4H” is lost. Since each of D0H to D4H and E0H to E4H is as shown in FIG. 18, the description thereof is omitted here.

On the other hand, the data of the subsequent command stipulates the contents of reach and the variation time of special symbols.
“F0H” is defined as a special system reach with a variation time of 20 seconds. "F1
“H” indicates that the change time is 20 seconds without reach, “E1H” indicates that the battle effect is 90 seconds, and “40H” indicates that the short reach is 2 seconds. ,
“41H” respectively defines that the fluctuation time is 2 seconds without reach.

FIG. 18 shows the special variation commands from the first game to the fifth game of the special variation game when referring to the fourth special variation pattern table 134f. Table 134c to third special variation pattern table 1
The configuration of the special variation command when referring to 34e is the variation pattern No. 18 is the same as FIG. 18 except that is different. Therefore, the first to third special variation pattern tables 134c to e
The illustration about is omitted.

Further, in the present embodiment, the special symbol variation pattern command determination unit 130 determines a variation pattern command (including a special variation command) in the same manner as described above not only at the start of the game but also at the time of holding storage, The pre-read command is output to the effect control processing unit 201. The random numbers acquired at the time of hold storage are the same for both the prefetch command and the variation pattern command, and various lottery processes are performed based on those random numbers, and the variation pattern command (including special variation commands) or prefetching is performed based on the lottery result. Since the command is determined,
Both are basically the same command. However, in the case of losing and no reach, the main variation time varies depending on the number of reserved memories, so the variation time of special symbols was determined at the time of the prefetch command determined at the time of reserved storage and at the start of the game It may be different from the variation pattern command. The prefetch command determined in this way is used when determining the type of battle effect in the special variation game described later.

Returning to FIG. 4, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 determines whether the game state of the normal symbol at the start of the variation of the normal symbol is the normal symbol high probability or the normal symbol low probability, and the determination result is In response to this, a predetermined normal symbol variation time is determined. Specifically, in the case of normal accuracy, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 determines the variation time related to the normal symbol to 2 seconds, and in the case of normal accuracy, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 The variation time for the normal symbol is determined to be 30 seconds.

The payout / launch control processing unit 105 is connected to the main control processing unit 100 so as to be able to communicate with each other, and is also connected to the CR unit so as to be able to communicate with each other via a relay board. By controlling the driving of the payout motor, a predetermined number of prize balls or balls are paid out, or the driving motor of the launching device 9 (a firing rotary solenoid may be used) according to the value of the firing volume By controlling the control, the game ball can be launched at a predetermined launch intensity, or the control of the ball feeding solenoid of the rectifier allows the game balls to be sent to the launching device 9 one by one. Is responsible. When the CR unit is not electrically connected to the payout / launch control processing unit 105, control is performed so that the game ball is not launched from the launching device 9.

Up to this point, each process performed mainly by the main control processing unit 100 has been described, but from here on, the sub control processing unit 200 for receiving various commands and performing various effects will be described. The sub-control processing unit 200 controls the effect control processing unit 201 (described later in detail), the lamp control processing unit 202 for controlling various lamps such as a frame lamp and a panel lamp, and the control of the speaker 20 and the sound processor. And a voice control processing unit 203 for performing, and provided on the back surface of the game board 3 via a support member or the like as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 19, the effect control processing unit 201 displays an effect mode determining unit 210 for determining an effect mode and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 on the effect display device 34 as a processing unit. An effect display control unit 220 for controlling the holding ball, and a holding ball display control unit 230 for controlling the holding ball to be displayed in the holding ball display areas 34a and 34b.

Further, the effect control processing unit 201 includes an effect mode storage unit 260 as a storage unit. The effect mode storage unit 260 includes a plurality of types of effect modes (effect image data) 261a to 261c.
And a special variation game table 262 storing a plurality of types of effect modes (effect image data) 263, 264, and 265 used in the special variation game.
And are stored.

The special variation game table 262 includes a first game dedicated table 263 used for the first game of the special variation game, a second game dedicated table 264 used for the second game, and 3 used for the third to fifth games. The fifth game dedicated table 265 is stored.

The first game dedicated table 263 stores a 20-second battle warning effect. In the battle warning effect, when the first game of the special variation game is a big hit, that is, the special variation command is a variation pattern No. The jackpot battle warning effect (special system reach) selected when X11 to X14 are selected and the game is lost, that is, the special variation command is a variation pattern No. There is a battle warning sign that is selected when it is X15. The battle precursor effect has a content of displaying a message “save hold!” On the effect display device 34 while the effect symbol (dummy symbol) fluctuates for 20 seconds. In addition,
The jackpot battle warning effect and the lost battle warning effect are different depending on whether or not the production symbols that are stopped and displayed at the end of the production are all in the same design, but other production contents are the same It is. Therefore, the first special variation game, regardless of whether it is a big hit,
From the start of the game to just before the end, the battle precursor effect of the same content will be performed.

The second game exclusive table 264 includes a battle win utilization table 264a and a battle defeat table 264b. When the second game of the special variation game is a big hit (the special variation command in this game is the variation pattern No. 264a).
X21 to X24), and a table that stores presentation modes (images) that are selected when the prefetch command of the third to fifth games of the input special variation game is a jackpot command. This battle win use table 264a stores a battle effect of 90 seconds.
Although a specific example will be described later, this battle victory use table 264a stores “battle victory effect (first special variation effect)” in which the main character fights the enemy character and finally the main character wins. Has been. Note that when the prefetch command of the third to fifth games of the special variation game is a jackpot command, the prefetch command is a variation pattern No. This is the case of X31 to X34 (see FIG. 18C).

On the other hand, in the battle defeat table 264b, when the game of the second game of the special variation game is lost (when the special variation command in this game is the variation pattern No. X25)
And the table selected when the prefetch command of the third to fifth games of the special variation game is a lose command. This battle defeat table 264b stores a battle effect of 90 seconds. Although a specific example will be described later, this battle defeat table 264b includes
A “battle defeat effect (second special variation effect)” is stored in which the main character fights against an enemy character and the main character is eventually defeated. In the case where the prefetch command of the third to fifth games of the special variation game is a lose command, the prefetch command is a variation pattern No.
This is the case with X35 (see FIG. 18C).

In the 3rd to 5th game exclusive table 265, if the current game is a loss and the battle victory effect is performed for the second game of the special variation game, the 2nd victory change effect and this time When the game is lost, the 2 second lost change effect used when the battle defeat effect is performed in the second game of the special variable game, and the 2 second used when the current game is a big hit The jackpot display effect is stored. The victory variation effect of 2 seconds is an effect of the content that the effect symbol changes for 2 seconds in a state where a small message “Victory” is displayed on the upper right of the effect display device 34. The loss variation effect is an effect of the content that the effect symbol fluctuates for 2 seconds in the same manner as the normal loss change without displaying a message on the upper right of the effect display device 34. Note that both the victory variation effect and the loss variation effect have a special variation command with a variation pattern No. This is the case for X35. In the jackpot display effect, the special variation command has a variation pattern No. It is an effect mode selected in the case of X31 to 34, and the effect symbol changes, and after reaching, three symbols come together to stop and display that it is a big hit.

The effect mode determination unit 210 is one of the effect tables 261a to 261c stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on the first variation pattern command or the second variation pattern command sent at the start of the game. Referring to, the effect mode (effect image data to be used) used this time is determined. The normal mode effect table 261a is referred to when the game mode is the normal mode, the chance mode effect table 261b is referred to when the game mode is the chance mode, and the super chance mode effect table 261c is referred to as the game. Referenced when the mode is the super chance mode. That means
An effect table corresponding to the game mode is prepared.

Although not shown in detail, each of the effect tables 261a to 261c stores a plurality of effect image data corresponding to the change pattern command, and more specifically, effect image data having different reach contents for each change time. A plurality are stored. For example, as effect image data with a fluctuation time of 90 seconds, the types of images such as confrontation reach A, confrontation reach B, story reach A, story reach B, story reach C, live action reach A, and live action reach B Data is available. Then, when the first or second variation pattern command is sent at the start of the game, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the effect table corresponding to the current game mode and is defined in the variation pattern command. One of the effect image data corresponding to the variation time and reach contents is selected by lottery. In this way, the effect mode used for the current game is determined.

Further, the production mode determination unit 210, based on the special variation command sent at the start of the game, the first game dedicated table 263 and the second game dedicated tables 264, 3-5 in the special variation game table 262. An effect mode to be used this time is determined by referring to a predetermined table from the game-only table 265 according to the game number in the special variation game. At this time, the effect mode determination unit 210 determines the effect mode in consideration of not only the special variation command but also the prefetch command. Details of the determination of the effect will be described later.

The effect display control unit 220 controls the effect display device 34 to display the effect pattern determined by the effect mode determination unit 210. Further, the effect display control unit 220 displays special effects including battle effects over five games during the special variation game.

In addition, upon receiving a command indicating that the reserved ball random number is stored from the main control processing unit 100, the reserved ball display control unit 230 displays white in the first reserved ball display area 34a or the second reserved ball display area 34b. It controls to display the holding ball of.

Next, the game process procedure of the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 20. The game process and the second process when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a. The game process is the same when a game ball wins the start winning opening 37b. Therefore, in the following, the game process will be described only when a game ball has won the second start winning opening 37b, and the description when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 20, the main control processing unit 100 determines whether or not the game ball has won the second start winning opening 37b (step S1). When winning (Yes in step S1), the second
The special symbol success / failure determination random number acquisition unit 112b acquires a special symbol success / failure determination random number, the second special symbol type determination random number acquisition unit 122b acquires a special symbol type determination random number, and the second special symbol variation pattern The random number acquisition unit 132b acquires a random number for the special symbol variation pattern (step S2).

When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is fluctuating (Yes in Step S3), the special symbol success / failure determination random number acquired in Step S2 is used as the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b.
The special symbol type determination random number is stored in the second special symbol type determination random number storage unit 124b, and the special symbol variation pattern random number is stored in the second special symbol variation pattern random number storage unit 133b (step S4-1). ).

Next, in step S4-2, prefetch command determination processing is performed. In the prefetch command determination process, the following process is executed to determine the prefetch command. That is, whether or not the special symbol success / failure random number stored in step S4-1 is a big hit, whether the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b has a gaming state related to the special symbol at the time of holding storage (special symbol low accuracy or Is determined in advance with reference to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b (pre-judgment determination). Also, based on the special symbol type determination random number stored in step S4-1, the second special symbol type determination unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determination table 125b and determines the type of the second special symbol in advance. Decide (pre-determination of symbols).

Then, the second special symbol variation pattern determining unit 135b determines whether the variation pattern tables 134a and 134b are based on the gaming state relating to the current special symbol and the gaming state relating to the normal symbol, and the above-described determination of whether or not the symbol is present. Referring to a predetermined table from step S4-1
The variation pattern command corresponding to the random number for the special symbol variation pattern stored in is selected, and the command is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 201 as a prefetch command.

For example, the current gaming state is low probability (special figure low probability and normal figure low probability state, the game mode is the normal mode), and each random number value stored in step S4-1 is a special symbol success / failure When the determination random number is “100”, the special symbol type determination random number is “380”, and the special symbol variation pattern random number is “177”, the prefetch command is determined as follows.

First, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b performs the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b.
, It is determined whether or not the special symbol success / failure determination random number value “100” is a big hit. As described above, in the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, the special symbol success / failure determination random number value is 0 to 218, so the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b indicates that it is a “hit”. Predetermined.

Next, the second special symbol type determination unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determination table 125b, and the type of the second special symbol corresponding to the special symbol type determination random value “380” is “1”.
Since it is “5R specific short symbol 4” (see FIG. 7), it is determined in advance that the special symbol type is “15R specific short symbol 4”.

Next, based on the low probability of the current gaming state, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 1
35b determines the table to be referred to as the normal variation pattern table 134a (see FIG. 13), and further determines the second special symbol variation pattern from the previously determined information of “big hit” and “15R specific short time symbol 4”. The unit 135b includes the normal variation pattern table 134a.
The normal fluctuation pattern table 134a-4 (when the jackpot + 15R specified short time symbol 4) is referred to (see FIG. 16B). In the normal pattern table 134a-4, the variation pattern command corresponding to the random number “177” for the special symbol variation pattern is the variation pattern No. Since it is 18D, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135
b is a variation pattern No. 18D is determined as a prefetch command, and the variation pattern No. 18D (A3H07H) is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 201.

In addition, the current gaming state is low probability (special figure low certainty and normal figure low certainty state, the game mode is the normal mode), and each random number value stored in step S4-1 is a special symbol success / failure When the random number for determination is “60000”, the random number for determining the special symbol type is “380”, the random number for the special symbol variation pattern is “15”, and the number of reserved memory is the fourth, the prefetch command is determined as follows: Is done.

First, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b performs the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b.
, It is determined whether or not the special symbol success / failure determination random value “60000” is a big hit. As described above, in the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, the special symbol success / failure determination random numbers 219 to 65535 are lost, so the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b indicates that it is “lost”. Predetermined.

Next, the second special symbol type determination unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determination table 125b, and the type of the second special symbol corresponding to the special symbol type determination random value “380” is “1”.
In the case of “5R specific short-time symbol 4”, the pre-determination by the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b is a loss, so the pre-determination regarding the type of the special symbol is not performed (handled as a loss symbol).

Next, based on the low probability of the current gaming state, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 1
35b determines the table to be referred to as the normal variation pattern table 134a (see FIG. 13), and further determines the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit from the information of “losing” and “number of reserved storages 4” determined in advance. 135b is determined to be a table that refers to the normal variation pattern table 134a-7 (in the case of loss + hold 4) in the normal variation pattern table 134a (
FIG. 17 (c)). In the normal pattern table 134a-7, the variation pattern command corresponding to the special symbol variation pattern random number “15” is the variation pattern No. 15
Since the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b is G, the variation pattern No. 15G
Is determined as a prefetch command, and the variation pattern No. 15G (A6H04H) is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 201.

In the special variation game, the prefetch command is determined as follows. For example, the special symbol type at the time of winning the previous jackpot is 15R specified short-lived symbol 4, and the game based on the stored ball random number stored this time is the fifth game of the special variation game (the 55th game after the jackpot game) The random number values stored in step S4-1 are “2000” for the special symbol success / failure determination random number, “200” for the special symbol type determination random number, and “109” for the special symbol variation pattern random number. ”.

In this case, first, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b refers to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b to determine whether or not the special symbol appropriateness determination random number “2000” is a big hit. As described above, in the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b, the special symbol success / failure determination random number value is a big hit from 0 to 2184.
b is determined in advance to be a “big hit”.

Next, when the second special symbol type determining unit 123b refers to the second special symbol type determining table 125b, the type of the second special symbol corresponding to the special symbol type determining random value “200” is “1”.
Since it is “5R specific short symbol 2” (see FIG. 7), it is determined in advance that the special symbol type is “15R specific short symbol 2”.

Next, since the type of the special symbol at the time of the last jackpot is 15R specified short-time symbol 4 and the current hold is the fifth game of the special variation game (55 games after the jackpot game), the second The special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b includes a fourth special variation pattern table 134.
Referring to the table of the third to fifth games of f (see FIG. 18 (c)), the information of the “big hit” and “15R specified short time symbol 2” determined in advance and the value of the random number for the special symbol variation pattern “ 109
", The fluctuation pattern No. X32 (E01H40H) is determined as a prefetch command.
Then, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b transmits the prefetch command to the effect control processing unit 201.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 18, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b changes the variation pattern No. 1 according to how many times the game stored and stored is the special variation game.
X11-X15, No. X21-X25, No. The effect control processing unit 201 includes X31 to X35.
As a prefetch command. The variation pattern No. X11-X14, no. X
21-X24, no. X31 to X34 are jackpot commands.
X15, No. X25, No. X35 is a lose command.

When the process of step S4-2 ends, the process proceeds to step S4-3, and the reserved ball display control unit 2
30 shows a white reserved sphere in the second reserved sphere display area 34b. Then, the process returns to the position before step S3 and waits until the game order related to the current winning comes. If the upper limit of four reserved ball random numbers is already stored in the second special symbol reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, the processing of steps S4-1 to S4-3 is not performed. Needless to say.

On the other hand, if neither the first special symbol nor the second special symbol has changed, that is, if the game order has come (No in step S3), a special symbol hit determination process is performed in step S5. . That is, the second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b determines whether or not the special symbol success / failure determination random number acquired in step S2 is a big hit.

Next, in step S6, a special symbol type determination process is performed. Specifically, if the result of the special symbol per unit determination process in step S5 is determined to be a big hit, the second special symbol type determining unit 124b is based on the special symbol type determining random number acquired in step S2. The type of the second special symbol for the jackpot is determined. That is, with reference to FIG. 7, one of “15R specified short time symbol 1” to “15R specific short time symbol 4” is determined in step S6. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that the game has been lost, the special symbol type determination random number has been acquired, but step S5 is performed without determining the special symbol type based on the random number.
The process of 6 ends.

Next, a special symbol variation pattern command determination process is performed in step S7. In the special symbol variation pattern command determination process, the second special symbol variation pattern determination unit 135b refers to the normal variation pattern table 134a or the shortened variation pattern table 134b based on the special symbol variation pattern random number acquired in step S2. To determine a second variation pattern command. However, when the current game is in a special variation game, a predetermined table is referred to from among the special variation pattern tables 134c to 134f to determine the game number of the special variation game. Based on this, a second variation pattern command (special variation command) in the current game is determined.

Next, an effect mode determination process is performed in step S8. In this effect mode determination process, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to a predetermined table corresponding to the current game mode from the effect tables 261a to 261c, and determines the effect pattern corresponding to the second variation pattern command this time. The production pattern used in the game is determined. When the current game is a special variation game, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the special variation game table 262 to determine an effect mode corresponding to the special variation command.

The process performed in step S8 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 21, when the effect mode determination process is started, first, in step S21,
The effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not a special variation command has been input. As described above, this special variation command is input only for 5 games from the 21st game, the 31st game, the 41st game, and the 51st game after the jackpot game according to the type of the special symbol at the time of the jackpot. The In the case of Yes in step S21, that is, in the case of a special variation game,
Proceeding to step S22, the effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not the current game is the first game of the special variation game.

Whether or not this game is the first game of the special variation game can be determined by counting the types of special symbols at the time of winning the jackpot and the number of games after the jackpot game. It is also possible to analyze special variation commands. As shown in FIG. 18, when the fourth special variation pattern table 134f is referred to, 1 of the special variation game is displayed.
In the game, the change pattern command number is No. Since it is X11-X15, the production | presentation aspect determination part 210 can distinguish whether this game is the 1st game of a special variation game, if the number of a variation pattern command is confirmed.

Next, in the case of Yes in step S22, the process proceeds to step S23, and the effect mode determination unit 210
Refers to the first game dedicated table 263 and determines the battle sign effect to be the current effect mode. On the other hand, in the case of No in step S22, the process proceeds to step S24, and the production mode determination unit 21
0 determines whether or not the current game is the second game of the special variation game. Note that the effect mode determination unit 210 has, for example, the change pattern command No. If it is X21 to X25, it can be determined that the current game is the second time of the special variation game. Y in step S24
In the case of es, the effect mode determination unit 210 proceeds to step S25 and determines the effect mode with reference to the second game dedicated table 264.

In this determination, the effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether the special variation command input at the start of the current game is a big hit in step S26 (for example, variation pattern No.
. If it is Yse, the effect of the second game is determined as the battle victory effect stored in the battle win use table 264a. On the other hand, step S2
If the result is No at 6, the process proceeds to step S28, and the production mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not a big hit is included in the reserved ball random number at the start of the current game. For example, a prefetch command for a game scheduled to be performed in the third to fifth games is a variation pattern No. X31-
The effect mode determination unit 210 determines whether or not X34 (big hit command).

In the case of Yes in step S28, the process proceeds to step S27 and the production mode determination unit 210.
As in the case where the current game is a big hit, the effect used for the current game is determined as the battle victory effect. On the other hand, in the case of No in step S28, the effect used for the current game is determined as the battle defeat effect.

In the case of No in step S24, the production mode determination unit 210 proceeds to step S30 and refers to the 3rd to 5th game dedicated table 265 with a predetermined production mode (winning variation production, loss variation production, jackpot display). Any of the effects) is determined as an effect to be used for the current game. Further, in the case of No in step S21, the process proceeds to step S31, where the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the effect pattern table 261 and uses a predetermined effect mode for the current game based on the game mode and the variation pattern command. Decided to produce.

When the effects of the special variation game performed for five games are summarized, it is as shown in FIG.
In addition, the example of the production shown in FIG. 22 is a case where up to four reserved ball random numbers are stored in the first game of the special variation game.
(A) If the fifth game of the special variation game is a big hit:
The first game has a battle warning effect, the second game has a battle effect, the battle is won, the third and fourth games have a victory variation effect, and the fifth game has a jackpot displayed. The Then, a jackpot game is played.
(B) When the fourth game of the special variation game is a big hit:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is won, a victory variation effect is performed in the third game, and a big hit is displayed in the fourth game. Then, a jackpot game is played.

(C) When the third game of the special variation game is a big hit:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is won, and a jackpot is displayed in the third game. Then, a jackpot game is played.
(D) When the second game of the special variation game is a big hit:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is won, and a jackpot is displayed. Then, a jackpot game is played.

(E) When the first game of the special variation game is a big hit:
After a battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a jackpot is displayed. Then, a jackpot game is played.
(F) When all 5 games of special variation are lost:
A battle sign effect is performed in the first game, a battle effect is performed in the second game, the battle is defeated, and a loss variation effect is performed in each of the third game, the fourth game, and the fifth game.

As is clear from FIG. 22, when a battle effect is displayed in the second game of the special variation game, not only can a big win be expected in the second game, but also a big win in the third to fifth games. Therefore, the expectation degree of jackpot of the battle effect itself reflects four games from the second game to the fifth game. Therefore, the big hit expectation degree with respect to a battle effect will increase 4 times.

Returning to FIG. 20, when the production mode is determined in step S8, the second special symbol display control unit 101b causes the special symbol display device 17 to start the variable display of the second special symbol in step S9. The display control unit 220 starts displaying the effect pattern determined in step S8 on the effect display device 34.

Next, in step S10, the second special symbol display control unit 101b displays the special symbol display device 17.
To stop and display the second special symbol. At this time, if the symbol stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 17 is determined to be a big hit in step S5, the second symbol determined in step S6.
Although it is a winning symbol corresponding to the type of special symbol, if it is determined that the game is lost in step S5, the symbol is corresponding to the lost symbol. In step S10, the display of the effect pattern is stopped in synchronization with the stop of the fluctuation of the second special symbol, and the predetermined effect symbol is displayed in the effect display device 3.
4 is stopped and displayed.

Next, when the stopped second special symbol is confirmed with a combination of jackpots (step S1)
(Yes in 1), the jackpot game control unit 160 provides the jackpot game by opening the attacker device 41 with a predetermined attacker release pattern according to the type of the second special symbol (step S12). Next, in step S13, the gaming state setting unit 140 sets the gaming state of the special symbol and the normal symbol in the next game to a high probability state or a low probability state. More specifically, the gaming state setting unit 140 sets the gaming state related to the special symbols from the big hit game until the 70 games are played with high accuracy, and in the subsequent games and the initial state, the gaming state setting unit 140 sets the special state with low accuracy. Set. On the other hand, the game state related to the normal symbol is set with high accuracy by the game state setting unit 140 until the game with the number of times of the electric support corresponding to the type of the special symbol is performed. After that, it is usually set with low accuracy.

When the game state in the next game is set in step S13, the process related to one game is completed. In the case of No in step S11, the game state of the next game is set by proceeding to step S13 without providing the jackpot game. If the answer is No in step S1, the game ends without playing the game.

Next, specific examples of effects displayed during the special variation game will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, in FIG. 23 to FIG. 27, the type of special symbol at the time of the previous jackpot winning is “15R”.
A specific example in the case of the “specific time short symbol 4” is shown. Therefore, FIGS. 23 to 27 illustrate the case where the special variation game is started from the 51st time.

Specific example in the case of (b) above (see FIGS. 23 and 24)
As shown in FIG. 23A, in the 51st game, a 20-second battle warning effect is performed.
At this time, the message “Accumulate hold!” Is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34. This message is for alerting the player not to stop the release of the game ball in order to reflect the prefetch command of the third to fifth games at the time of the battle effect of the second game.

FIG. 23 (b) shows a state in which four reserved balls are stored during the symbol variation of the 51st game. In this example, the fourth of the holding balls is the jackpot holding that won the jackpot. Therefore, the prefetch command corresponding to the hold 4 is a jackpot command (variation pattern No. X3
1 to X34). Then, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), when the variation of the 51st game starts and 20 seconds elapses, the variation of the 51st game stops and “1-2-3” indicating a loss.
"" Is displayed on the screen.

In the 52nd game, a battle effect is performed. As shown in FIG. 23D, the main character (C1) is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the enemy character (C2) is displayed on the left side.
And both will fight. This effect is performed for 90 seconds. During this time, the effect symbol is displayed in a small variation on the upper right of the screen.

In this example, since hold 3 in FIG. 23D is a jackpot hold, as shown in FIG. 23E, the message “Victory!” Is displayed on the screen as a result of the battle effect (first special variation). Production is displayed). The player can see that the jackpot is included in any of the 53rd game to the 55th game by seeing the victory in the battle effect. Since the 52nd game is a loss, a combination of effect symbols “4-5-6” indicating a loss is displayed at the upper right of the screen.

As shown in FIG. 24A, in the 53rd game, the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds, and a small “win” message is displayed on the upper right of the screen. Therefore, the player can also know from this message that the jackpot is included in the holding ball. Similarly, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), in the 54th game, the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds, and a “Victory” message is displayed small in the upper right of the screen. In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, since the 53rd game and the 54th game are losing, an effect design is stopped and displayed on a screen by the combination of losing.

Then, as shown in FIG. 24C, when the change of the 55th game is started, as shown in FIG. 24D, “7-7-7” indicating that it is a big hit two seconds later. The effect design is stopped and displayed on the screen by the combination of Thereafter, a jackpot game is provided.

Specific example in the case of (to) above (see FIGS. 25 and 26)
As shown in FIG. 25A, in the 51st game, a 20-second battle warning effect is performed.
At this time, the message “Accumulate hold!” Is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34. This message is for alerting the player not to stop the release of the game ball in order to reflect the prefetch command of the third to fifth games at the time of the battle effect of the second game.

FIG. 25 (b) shows a state in which four reserved balls are stored during the symbol variation of the 51st game. In this example, all four of the holding balls are lost holding. Therefore, the prefetch commands corresponding to the suspensions 1 to 4 are all lost (any one of the variation patterns No. X15, X25, and X35). And as shown in FIG.25 (c), the fluctuation | variation of the 51st game starts and 2
When 0 seconds have elapsed, the fluctuation of the 51st game is stopped, and the combination of effect symbols “1-2-3” indicating a loss is displayed on the screen.

In the 52nd game, a battle effect is performed. As shown in FIG. 25 (d), the main character (C1) is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the enemy character (C2) is displayed on the left side.
And both will fight. This effect is performed for 90 seconds. During this time, the effect symbol is displayed in a small variation on the upper right of the screen.

In this example, since all the holds in FIG. 25D are lost, as shown in FIG.
As a result of the battle effect, a “defeat” message is displayed on the screen (the second special variation effect is displayed). A player sees the defeat in this battle production and unfortunately knows that none of the 53rd game to the 55th game contains a jackpot. Since the 52nd game is a loss, a combination of effect symbols “4-5-6” indicating a loss is displayed at the upper right of the screen.

As shown in FIG. 26A, in the 53rd game, the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds. At this time, no message is displayed on the upper right of the screen, and the effect is as if it was a normal loss variation. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the effect design fluctuates for 2 seconds in the 54th game. Although illustration is omitted, the 53rd game and the 54th game are lost,
The production symbol is stopped and displayed on the screen in combination with the loss. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), when the change of the 55th game is started, 2-7 seconds later, as shown in FIG. The effect symbol is stopped and displayed on the screen in the combination of “7”. After that, it returns to normal fluctuation.

Specific example in the case of (2) above (see FIG. 27)
As shown in FIG. 27A, in the 51st game, a 20-second battle warning effect is performed.
At this time, the message “Accumulate hold!” Is displayed on the screen of the effect display device 34. This message is for alerting the player not to stop the release of the game ball in order to reflect the prefetch command of the third to fifth games at the time of the battle effect of the second game.

FIG. 27 (b) shows a state in which four reserved balls are stored during the symbol variation of the 51st game. In this example, the first of the holding balls is the jackpot holding that won the jackpot. Therefore, it is a big hit at the 52nd game. As shown in FIG. 27 (c), when the change of the 51st game starts and 20 seconds elapses, the change of the 51st game stops and “1-
The combination of effect symbols “2-3” is displayed on the screen.

In the 52nd game, a battle effect is performed. As shown in FIG. 27D, the main character (C1) is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the enemy character (C2) is displayed on the left side.
And both will fight. This effect is performed for 90 seconds. During this time, the effect symbol is displayed in a small variation on the upper right of the screen.

In this example, since the 52nd game is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 27E, as a result of the battle effect, the message “Victory!” Is displayed on the screen (the first special variation effect is displayed). . At that time, the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper right of the screen with a combination of “7-7-7” indicating a big hit. Therefore, the player knows that it was a big hit in this game. Thereafter, a jackpot game is provided.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, a special variation game is always performed in any of the 21st game, the 31st game, the 41st game, and the 51st game after the jackpot game. Since the battle effect is always performed in the second game of the special variation game, the player can enjoy the game while looking forward to the battle effect. In addition, the battle effect reflects not only the game result of the second game but also the game result of the third game to the fifth game, so the player performed the battle effect. It can be expected that it will be a big hit in the 2nd game, and if you win in battle production, even if the 2nd game is lost, you must be in any game from the 3rd game to the 5th game. Because the jackpot comes, you can play with peace of mind while immersing the subsequent games in a sense of superiority.

And in battle production, not only when the result of the second game is a big hit,
Even if the result of the game is a big hit, the victory is won, so the expectation of winning in the battle production of the second game is increased four times.

In this embodiment, since the variation time of the first game of the special variation game is set to be as long as 20 seconds, it is easy to store the reserved ball up to the upper limit. Therefore, it becomes easy to reflect the prefetching results of the third to fifth games in the battle effect. Furthermore, since the variation time of the 3rd to 5th games is set to be as short as 2 seconds, if a battle effect is won, a big hit will occur immediately. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the path from the victory of the battle effect to the big hit, and to prevent the game from being extended (bad effects such as not being a big hit).

In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a pachinko machine having a specification (so-called ST machine) in which a special figure is always highly accurate after a jackpot game and is shifted to a low figure after a predetermined number of games. Although applied, the present invention can also be applied to devices other than pachinko machines having such specifications. For example, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to a pachinko machine having a specification that has a normal hit with a low special figure after a big hit game and a probable hit with a high special figure.

In the present embodiment, the specific condition is that the number of games after the big hit game has reached a predetermined number of times. However, the so-called small hit is won and the number of games after the small hit game has reached the predetermined number of times. This may be a specific condition. Further, for example, five games immediately after the end of the jackpot game or immediately after the end of the jackpot game may be used as the special variation game. In addition, in the case of the pachinko machine provided with the above-described normal hit and probability change, it may be added that the winning per probability change is added as a specific condition.

Further, in the present embodiment, for example, the start winning ports 37a, 3 in the first game of the special variation game
If only one game ball is won in 7b, the battle effect performed in the second game of the special variation game will not reflect the look-ahead result from the third game onwards, and the second game will be lost. In this case, the battle production performed in the second game is defeated. However, if, for example, one game ball is won in the start winning opening 37a, 37b in the middle of the second game and a big win is won by the winning, the jackpot display is performed in the third game. Since the game time is a short time of 2 seconds, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, because the game was defeated in the second game, the player would be disappointed with the result, but since the jackpot will be displayed suddenly in the second second of the third game, it will be restored after defeating in the battle effect. The player can be given the impression of winning. As described above, in this embodiment, the change time of the second game is increased to 90 seconds, and the change time of the third to fifth games is shortened to 2 seconds. Even if random numbers are not stored and a holding ball random number is stored during the fluctuation of the second game, it is possible to perform an effect that leads to a victory by defeating the battle effect. .

In addition, when there is no reserved ball random number at the start of the fluctuation of the second game as described above, the reserved ball random number is stored during the fluctuation of the second game and the reserved ball random number is a big hit. For example, the lamp control processing unit 202 causes a specific lamp to emit light, or the effect control processing unit 201 causes the effect display device 34 to display a cut-in display on the effect display device 34. You may alert | report that the jackpot was included in inside. Even if it does in this way, the appeal effect by a production increases.
