In the game area 6, a number of game nails (not shown) are protruded. The game nails enter the game area 6 and flow down the game area 6 to a game ball, and a first starting port 11, a second starting port 12, a general winning port 10, a gate 13, a first large winning port 14, In addition, a route for appropriately leading to the second special winning opening 15 or the like is configured.

  In the game area 6, a first starting winning device 11D in which a first starting port 11 in which a game ball can enter is formed, and a second starting winning that enables or disables entering a ball in the second starting port 12. And a device (a so-called “electric chew”) 12D.

  The first start winning device 11D is immobile. Therefore, the first starting port 11 is constant (unchanged) without changing the ease of entering the game ball. The winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11 is determined by a lottery of a first special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1") (acquisition and determination of a special figure 1-related random number described later: hereinafter, "special figure 1 lottery"). ) And the variable display shown in FIG. Further, when the game balls enter the first starting port 11, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  The electric tube 12D includes an operable electric tube opening and closing member 12k. The electric chew opening / closing member 12k is normally (in a normal state) in a closed position where it is impossible or extremely difficult for a game ball to enter the second starting port 12. Then, in the special state, the game ball moves to an open position where the game ball can enter the second starting port 12. In this manner, the movement of the electric chew opening / closing member 12k to the open position is also referred to as an “open state” of the second starting port 12 or the electric chew 12D. Ball entry is possible. On the other hand, that the electric tube opening / closing member 12k is in the closed position is also referred to as the “closed state” of the second starting port 12 or the electric tube 12D. The state in which the second starting port 12 or the electric chew 12D is in the “open state” is also referred to as “the electric chew 12D is opened”, and the state in which the electric chew 12D is in the “closed state” is “the electric chew 12D is closed”. Also called.

  The winning of the game ball in the second starting port 12 is determined by a lottery of a second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 2”) (acquisition and determination of a special figure 2 related random number described later: hereinafter, “special figure 2 lottery”). And the variable display of Toku-zu 2 are triggered. When a game ball enters the second starting port 12, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  The game area 6 is provided with a general winning opening 10 into which a game ball can enter. When the game balls enter the general winning opening 10, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  The game area 6 is provided with a gate 13 through which game balls can pass. The passage of the game ball through the gate 13 is triggered by a lottery of a normal symbol (hereinafter, referred to as a “common figure”) (that is, acquisition and determination of a random number of a normal symbol: hereinafter, referred to as a “common figure lottery”) and a variable display of the common figure. Has become. The electric chew 12D is opened by executing the auxiliary game. That is, the auxiliary game is a game that involves opening the electric chew 12D.

  In the game area 6, a first big winning device 14D (hereinafter, also referred to as a "normal AT 14D") provided with a first big winning opening 14 in which a game ball can enter is provided.

  The first big winning device 14D includes a normal AT opening / closing member 14k that can be operated in an open state and a closed state. The first special winning opening 14 is opened and closed by the operation of the normal AT opening and closing member 14k. Normally, the AT opening / closing member 14k is normally in a closed state that closes the first special winning opening 14, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for game balls to enter the first special winning opening 14. When the normal AT opening / closing member 14k operates in the open state, it becomes possible for the game ball to enter the first big winning opening 14. As described above, the game ball can enter the first big winning opening 14 only when the normal AT opening / closing member 14k is in the open state. When the game balls enter the first big winning opening 14, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  In the game area 6, a guidance stage 12g for guiding a game ball to the second starting port 12 is provided. The game balls rolling on the upper surface of the guidance stage 12g can flow down toward the second starting port 12.

  Further, in the game area 6, a second big winning device 15D (hereinafter, also referred to as "VAT15D") provided with a second big winning opening 15 in which a game ball can enter is provided. The second big winning device 15D includes an operable VAT opening / closing member 15k. The VAT opening / closing member 15k normally blocks the second special winning opening 15, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for game balls to enter the second special winning opening 15. The VAT opening / closing member 15k can be in an open state. When the VAT opening / closing member 15k is in the open state, it is easy for game balls to enter the second big winning opening 15. On the other hand, the state in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k blocks the second special winning opening 15 is also referred to as a “closed state”. Thus, the second big winning opening 15 is opened and closed by the operation of the VAT opening and closing member 15k. When a game ball wins in the second special winning opening 15, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball.

  Here, the second big winning device 15D will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Inside the second big winning device 15D, there is provided a gate-shaped second big winning port sensor 15a capable of detecting a game ball entering the second big winning opening 15 and passing the game ball downward. Have been.

  A specific area 16 and a non-specific area 17 through which a game ball can pass (enter) are provided in a downstream area of the second special winning opening sensor 15a. The game balls that have passed through the second special winning opening sensor 15a are sorted to the specific area 16 or the non-specific area 17 by the distribution device 16D. The distribution device 16D includes a distribution member 16k formed of a substantially rectangular flat plate, and a distribution solenoid 16s that drives the distribution member 16k. The distribution member 16k is configured to be slidable left and right by driving the distribution solenoid 16s.

  When the distribution solenoid 16s is not energized, the distribution member 16k is in a first state in which the game ball is prevented from passing to the specific area 16 (passage prevention state: the left end of the distribution member 16k in a front view of FIG. 3A). Is located slightly to the right of the left end of the specific area 16, and the distribution member 16k covers the specific area 16 immediately above. When the distribution member 16k is in the first state, the game ball that has won the second special winning opening 15 cannot or extremely cannot pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second special winning opening sensor 15a. It is difficult and passes through the non-specific area 17. The route of the game ball flowing down from the second special winning opening 15 to the non-specific area 17 is referred to as a first route.

  On the other hand, when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, the distribution member 16k is in the second state in which the game ball is allowed to pass (enter) the specific region 16 (passage permitted state: frontal view in FIG. 3B). The left end of the distribution member 16k is located slightly to the left of the right end of the specific area 16, and the distribution member 16k does not cover the specific area 16 immediately above, but is in a state where the upper area of the specific area 16 is open. When the distribution member 16k is in the second state, a game ball that has won the second special winning opening 15 can easily pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second special winning opening sensor 15a. The route of the game ball flowing down from the second special winning opening 15 to the specific area 16 is referred to as a second route.

  Basically, the distribution member 16k is held in the first state. That is, it can be said that the first state is the normal state of the distribution member 16k. Then, only in a predetermined round game (for example, 16R), the distribution solenoid 16s is energized and can change to the second state.

  The specific area 16 and the non-specific area 17 are provided with a specific area sensor 16a and a non-specific area sensor 17a that detect a game ball passing through (entering) each of the areas 16 and 17 and pass the game ball downward. .

  In addition, it is possible to provide only one of the first big winning device 14D and the second big winning device 15D as long as the game is not hindered.

  At the lowermost portion of the game area 6, two out ports 19 are provided for discharging game balls that have been driven into the game area 6 but have not won any of the winning ports to the outside of the game area 6. I have. The game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

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

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

  A game ball that has not entered any of the winning ports (the first starting port 11, the second starting port 12, the general winning port 10, the first large winning port 14, and the second large winning port 15) It is guided to the outlet 19 and discharged. In addition, the number of prize balls by winning a prize hole can be appropriately set.

  Indicators 8 are arranged on the left side below the game area 6 formed on the front surface of the game board 1 (a part other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, on the display 8, a special figure 1 display 81 a that variably displays the special figure 1, a special figure 2 display 81 b that variably displays the special figure 2, and a general figure are variably displayed. A general-purpose indicator 82 is included. The display 8 also includes a special figure 1 reservation display 83a that displays the special figure 1 reservation number (U1: the number of variable display of the special figure 1 held by the special figure 1 display 81a) described later. A special figure 2 reservation display 83b for displaying the special figure 2 reservation number (U2: the number of the special figure 2 variable display held by the special figure 2 display 81b) to be described later is included.

  The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11. In addition, the variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery is performed in response to the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12. In the following description, the special figures 1 and 2 are collectively referred to as a special figure, and the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as a special figure lottery. The special figure display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are collectively called the special figure display 81. Furthermore, the special figure 1 reservation display 83a and the special figure 2 reservation display 83b are collectively called a special figure reservation display 83.

  The variable display of the special figure notifies the result of the special figure lottery. In the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is variably displayed and then stopped. The special figure stopped and displayed (the special special figure derived and displayed as a display result of the variable special display) is one special figure selected from a plurality of kinds of special figures by a special figure lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special special figure (a special figure of a specific stop mode, ie, a big hit symbol), the special winning opening (the first special winning opening 14 and the second special winning opening 15) is opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is performed.

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

  Further, in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the special figure is performed for a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. In the variable display mode of the special figure, for example, each LED is turned on so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. It should be noted that the form of the variable display of the special figure is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately set such that all the LEDs blink at once unless each LED is stopped (displayed in a specific manner).

  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, when there is a prize (entering) of a game ball to the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, various random numbers (such as numerical information and judgment information) for performing a special drawing lottery and the like. Example) may be obtained. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in a special figure reservation storage unit 105 described later as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers acquired by winning (entering) game balls into the first starting port 11 are referred to as “special figure 1-related random numbers”, and winning of game balls into the second starting port 12. The various random numbers obtained by (entering the ball) are referred to as “special figure 2 related random numbers”. Here, the special figure 1 related random number is stored as special figure 1 reservation in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a in the special figure reservation storage unit 105. On the other hand, the special figure 2 related random number is stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 as the special figure 2 reservation. The number of special figure 1 reservations that can be stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a (number of special figure 1 reservations) and the number of special figure 2 reservations that can be stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b (number of special figure 2 reservations) Can set an upper limit (for example, four). In the following, the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation are collectively referred to as “special figure reservation”, and the special figure 1 reservation number and the special figure 2 reservation number are collectively referred to as “special figure reservation number”. In addition, the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number are collectively referred to as “special figure related random number”.

  In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, if the special figure is not variably displayed immediately after the gaming ball has won the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, specifically, the variable display of the special figure is being executed. If a prize is awarded during the execution of the jackpot game, the variable display of a special map for the prize (or the right to special drawing lottery) can be reserved. The special figure reservation stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 is digested when it becomes possible to variably display the special figure based on the special figure reservation. In other words, the digestion of the special figure reservation means that a special figure relation random number or the like corresponding to the special figure reservation is determined and the variable display of the special figure for indicating the determination result is executed.

  Then, the special figure reservation number is displayed on the special figure reservation display 83. Each of the special figure 1 reservation display 83a and the special figure 2 reservation display 83b is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and the number of special figure reservations is displayed by lighting the LEDs for the number of special figure reservations. It is possible.

  In addition, the variable display of the general figure notifies the result of the general figure lottery. In the variable display of the general figure, the general figure is variably displayed and then stopped. The stop-displayed general-purpose map (stop general-purpose diagram, a general-purpose diagram derived and displayed as a display result of the variable display) is one general-purpose diagram selected from a plurality of types of general-purpose maps by a general-purpose drawing. When the stop-displayed general-purpose figure is a predetermined specific general-purpose figure (a general figure of a predetermined stop mode, ie, a winning symbol), an auxiliary game for opening the second starting port 12 (the electric chew 12D) is performed. .

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

3-1. Games related to general maps First, games related to general maps will be described. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a regular drawing lottery when the launched game ball passes through the gate 13. When the general drawing lottery is performed, a variable display of the general drawing (stop display after performing the variable display) is performed on the general figure display 82. Here, the stop-displayed general symbols include a hit symbol and a lost symbol. It should be noted that the lost symbol in the ordinary figure is also referred to as a "losed ordinary figure" in order to distinguish it from the lost symbol in the special figure described later. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game relating to the passage through the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the lost game is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed and the game related to the passage through the gate 13 ends. Further, hereinafter, when a game ball passes through the gate 13 when the variable display of the normal figure or the auxiliary game is not performed, it is referred to as “establishment of the variable figure start condition”.

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1, when performing such a series of games (general drawing lottery, variable display of general drawing, auxiliary game), acquires general figure-related random numbers by satisfying general figure changing start conditions. As shown in FIG. 8A, the ordinary symbol related random numbers to be acquired include ordinary symbol random numbers. The normal symbol random number is a random number (judgment information) for making a hit judgment. Each random number has an appropriate range.

3-1-1. The hit determination is a determination for determining whether or not a hit has been made (whether or not to execute an auxiliary game) using one or a plurality of hit determination tables as shown in FIG. 9A. The hit determination table can be associated with a game state described later. That is, the gaming state includes a non-time reduction state and a time reduction state, and a hit determination table used in the non-time reduction state (non-time reduction hit determination table) and a hit determination table (non-time reduction And a hit determination table). In each of the hit determination tables, a determination value of a normal symbol random number (ordinary symbol random value) is assigned to a hit and a loss as a result of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 checks the acquired normal symbol random numbers against the hit determination table to determine a hit or a loss. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, a general-figure variation pattern determination for variably displaying the general-figure is performed. When the result of the hit determination is a hit, basically, the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the ordinary figure. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is a loss, basically, the loss general figure is stopped and displayed in the variable display of the general figure. In addition, the winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. The general figure fluctuation pattern determination is a determination for determining the general figure fluctuation pattern using one or a plurality of general figure fluctuation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. 9B. The general-figure variation pattern is identification information on predetermined items related to variable display of the general-purpose figure such as general-fluctuation time.

  The normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with a game state. That is, as a general figure variation pattern determination table, a general figure variation pattern determination table (non-hour reduction general figure variation pattern determination table) used in the non-time reduction state and a general figure variation pattern determination table (non-time reduction general figure variation pattern determination table) used in the time reduction state Time-saving general-purpose variation pattern determination table).

  In each of the general figure fluctuation pattern determination tables, one general figure fluctuation pattern as a result of the general figure fluctuation pattern determination is stored for each general figure to be stopped. That is, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the general-purpose variation time different between the non-time reduction state and the time reduction state. For example, in the non-time-saving state, the variable display of the general figure when the general figure of the loss (loss general figure) is stopped and displayed is determined to be a general figure change pattern in which the general figure change time is, for example, 30 seconds. Is determined to be a general-purpose variation pattern in which the general-purpose variation time is, for example, 30 seconds. Further, in the time saving state, the variable display of the general figure when the lost general figure is stopped and displayed is determined to be a general figure fluctuation pattern in which the general figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the general pattern when the hit symbol is stopped and displayed. The variable display of the figure is determined to be a general figure fluctuation pattern in which the general figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The varieties of varieties of the varieties of the varieties of the varieties associated with the varieties of the varieties of variation determined by this determination are variably displayed on the general figure display 82. Further, these ordinary figure fluctuation times can be appropriately changed. In this way, by performing the hit determination and the general-figure variation pattern determination, the general-figure display 82 performs variable display of the general-figure.

3-1-3. Auxiliary Game The auxiliary game is executed when the winning symbol is stopped and displayed (derived) as a display result (a result of the general figure lottery) in a variable display of the general figure.

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

  The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can make the opening time of the electric chew 12D different between the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state and the auxiliary game in the time saving state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-time-saving state, the electric chew 12D is opened for a first opening time (a time (for example, 0.08 seconds) in which it is difficult for the game ball to win the electric chew 12D). In the following, the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state is also referred to as “short opening auxiliary game”. In addition, in the auxiliary game in the time-saving state, the electric chew 12D is played for a second opening time longer than the first opening time (a time (for example, 3.00 seconds) in which it is easy to make the electric ball 12D win a game ball). Open. In the following, the auxiliary game in the time saving state is also referred to as “long opening auxiliary game”.

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

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

  In the following description, winning of a game ball in the first starting port 11 is referred to as “establishment of a first starting condition”, and winning of a game ball in the second starting port 12 is referred to as “establishment of a second starting condition”. That. Further, "establishment of the first start condition" and "establishment of the second start condition" are collectively referred to as "establishment of the start condition". In addition, the lost symbol of the special symbol is also referred to as a "losing special symbol" to distinguish it from the above-mentioned lost symbol of the ordinary symbol.

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

3-2-1. Jackpot determination The jackpot determination is a determination for determining whether or not a jackpot (whether to execute a jackpot game) using one or more jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. The gaming state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with the normal probability state or the high probability state. That is, as the jackpot determination table, it is possible to distinguish between the jackpot determination table (normal probability jackpot determination table) used in the normal probability state and the jackpot determination table (high probability jackpot determination table) used in the high probability state. It is possible.

  In each of the jackpot determination tables, a determination value (special symbol random value) of a special symbol random number is assigned to a jackpot and a loss as a result of the jackpot determination. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 checks the acquired special symbol random number against the jackpot determination table to determine whether the hit is a jackpot or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10A, the special symbol random number determination value determined to be a big hit is set higher in the high probability big hit determination table than in the normal probability big hit determination table. In addition, the jackpot winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

3-2-2. Jackpot symbol type determination The jackpot symbol type determination is a type of the jackpot symbol (the jackpot symbol type) using one or more jackpot symbol type determination tables as shown in FIG. 10 (B) when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot. ) Is determined. For each type of the big hit symbol, it is possible to associate the big hit content, in other words, the big hit component composed of the game privilege etc. given to the player.

  The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the start-up opening where the prize winning that caused the jackpot symbol type determination (that generated the jackpot symbol type determination) was performed. Is possible. That is, as a jackpot symbol type determination table, a jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing variable display of special figure 1, and a jackpot used when performing variable display of special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish between the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

  There are a plurality of types of jackpot symbols, and in each of the jackpot symbol type determination tables, the determination value of the jackpot symbol type random number (the jackpot symbol type random value) is assigned to the jackpot symbol type that is the result of the jackpot symbol type determination. I have. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 determines the type of the jackpot symbol by comparing the acquired jackpot symbol type random number with the jackpot symbol type determination table. Then, in the first big hit symbol type determination table and the second big hit symbol type determination table, the big hit symbol type random value is appropriately distributed to various big hit symbols. In addition, the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type can be appropriately changed. The type of the big hit symbol can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type based on the jackpot symbol type determination for the special figure 1 is set to 50% for the large jackpot symbol X and 50% for the large jackpot symbol Y. It is possible to set the distribution rate of the big hit symbol type by the big hit symbol type determination to 100% for the big hit symbol Z. In this way, the special figure 1 lottery performed when a game ball wins in the first starting port 11 and the special figure 2 lottery performed when a game ball wins in the second starting port 12, the swing of the jackpot symbol type. The fractions can be different.

3-2-3. Reach determination In the reach determination, when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, using one or a plurality of reach determination tables as shown in FIG. This is a determination for determining whether

  The reach determination table can be associated with a game state. That is, a reach determination table (non-time reduction reach determination table) used in the non-time reduction state and a reach determination table (reach determination table for time reduction) used in the time reduction state are distinguished as the reach determination table. It is possible.

  In each reach determination table, the reach random number determination value (reach random number value) is allocated to “reach present (reach is generated)” and “reach no (reach is not generated)” which are the results of the reach determination. . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 checks the obtained reach random number against the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (whether or not to generate reach). As shown in FIG. 10 (C), the number of reach random numbers determined as “reach present (reach is generated)” can be made different between the non-time reduction reach determination table and the time reduction reach determination table. It is. In the following, "reach exists (generates a reach)", which is performed on the assumption that the result of the jackpot determination is "losing", is referred to as "reach has a loss", and "reach has no (does not generate a reach). ) "Is sometimes called" losing without reach. "

3-2-4. Special figure change The special figure change pattern is determined by using a change pattern determination table of one or more special symbols (a special figure change pattern determination table) as shown in FIGS. This is a determination for determining the (special figure change pattern), and is performed in both cases of the jackpot determination and the loss. The special figure change pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined items related to a special figure change time, an effect flow (effect contents) of a special figure change effect described later, and the like. It should be noted that the special figure change pattern can include identification information regarding the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination in addition to the special figure change time and the effect flow (effect contents) of the special figure change effect. As the special figure variation pattern, a plurality of types of special figure variation patterns each having different identification information can be used, and the number thereof can be appropriately changed.

  The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of the special symbol to be variably displayed as the determination target, in other words, the type of the starting port where the winning based on the special figure variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure variation pattern determination table, a special figure variation pattern determination table (Special figure 1 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed. It can be distinguished from the special figure variation pattern determination table (Special figure 2 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) which is sometimes used.

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

  Further, each special figure fluctuation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with a jackpot determination result, a jackpot symbol type determination result, or a reach determination result. In other words, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for non-time saving and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for non-time reduction have a big hit (for each big hit symbol type), a loss with reach, and a loss with no reach. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the time reduction special figure 2 variation pattern determination table also include, for example, a big hit (for each big hit symbol type), a loss with reach, and a loss with no reach.

  Furthermore, the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the special figure reservation number. For example, a special figure 1 fluctuation pattern determination table for reachless loss, which is used when the special figure 1 reservation number (U1) is 0 to 2, and when the special figure 1 reservation number (U1) is 3 to 4 are used. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for the loss without reach. Further, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for each reachless loss can be associated with the special figure reservation number. For example, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table for reachless loss used when the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is 0 to 2 and when the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is 3 to 4 are used. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for the loss without reach.

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

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

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

3-2-5. Read-ahead determination The pachinko gaming machine PY1 makes a read-ahead determination using one or a plurality of look-ahead determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure-related random numbers. The pre-reading determination includes, for example, determining whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be a big hit in the jackpot determination, determining which jackpot symbol type is determined by the jackpot symbol type determination, There is a determination as to which special figure variation pattern the figure variation pattern random number is determined in the special figure variation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of starting port related to the starting winning. That is, as the pre-reading determination table, a pre-reading determination table when the first starting port 11 is won (first pre-reading determination table), a pre-reading determination table when the second starting port 12 is won (the second pre-reading determination table), , Can be distinguished.

  Further, the look-ahead determination table can be associated with a game state. That is, as the look-ahead determination table, a look-ahead determination table (non-time-saving look-ahead determination table) used in the non-time-saving state and a look-ahead determination table (time-saving time look-ahead determination table) used in the time-saving state are distinguished. It is possible.

  That is, the look-ahead determination table includes a first look-ahead determination table used in a non-time-saving state, a first look-ahead determination table used in a time-saving state, and a second look-ahead determination table used in a non-time-saving state. And the second look-ahead determination table used in the time saving state. Note that what kind of judgment is included in the pre-reading judgment can be appropriately changed.

3-3. Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game includes a plurality of round games with opening and closing of a special winning opening (the first special winning opening 14 or the second special winning opening 15) and a round from the start of the big hit game to the start of the first round game. An opening (also referred to as OP) and an ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the last round game to the end of the jackpot game are included. Each round game starts when the opening game ends or the previous round game ends, and ends when the next round game starts or the ending starts. Further, it is possible not to provide the OP or the ED. In the following, a predetermined number of round games (predetermined order) are simply referred to as “rounds”. For example, the first (first) round game is called “1 round (1R)”, and the tenth round game is called “10 round (10R)”.

  Elements constituting such a jackpot game (jackpot game components) include the number of round games, the number of times a large winning port (the first large winning port 14 or the second large winning port 15) is opened in each round game, Includes the type and opening time (opening pattern) of the special winning opening in which each opening is performed, the time to close until the next opening (closing time), the opening time (opening time), and the ending time (ending time). ing. After the special figure is stopped and displayed, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the big hit game using one or more big hit game control tables as shown in FIG. The big hit game control table stores big hit game components for each big hit game. As the jackpot game, one or more types of jackpot games can be controlled.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 15R, a round game in which the first special winning opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a first special winning opening 14 for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. In the 16R (final round), a round game in which the second special winning opening 15 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second special winning opening 15 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds is performed. Done. Further, in each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is detected by the special winning opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the special winning openings 14 and 15 elapses, End the round game.

  Also, the number and time of each element can be changed as appropriate. In addition, the jackpot game can be played using both the first big winning opening 14 and the second big winning opening 15 or using only one of them.

  Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. The specific region 16 is set in a closed state in which no prize can be won and an open state in which a prize can be won by the distribution member 16k. Hereinafter, the operation mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as “open / close mode of the specific area 16”. In this way, the distribution member 16k is controlled in a fixed operation mode (the specific area 16 is fixed in the open / close mode). In combination with the opening / closing mode of the second big winning opening 15 in the jackpot game, the difficulty (easiness) of making the game ball enter the specific area 16 in the jackpot game is set. Hereinafter, the state where the specific region 16 is in the open state is also referred to as “V open”.

  The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second special winning opening is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3B). Therefore, in the round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, the opening time and the timing of the second special winning opening 15 and the time and the time when the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state. From the relation with the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to allow the game ball to enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in the round game in which the second special winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second, the opening time and timing of the second special winning opening 15 and the time and the time when the distributing member 16k is controlled to the second state are set. From the relationship with the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (enter the game ball into the specific area 16). As described above, the jackpot game includes a VAT opening / closing member in the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) in which the passing of the specific area 16 of the game ball (hereinafter, also referred to as “V passing”) is easy during the jackpot game. The VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distribution member 16k operate and in the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16. It is possible to execute a jackpot game. Thus, the big hit game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V long opening pattern is referred to as "V long big hit". On the other hand, the big hit game in which the VAT opening / closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V short open pattern is referred to as "V short big hit".

3-4. Game state Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 has a “low-probability low-base gaming state”, a “low-probability high-base gaming state”, a “high-probability low-base gaming state”, a “high-probability high-base gaming state”, and a “high-probability high-base gaming state”. It is possible to set any of the gaming states of the "big hit gaming state". Note that the “low-probability low-base game state” is “low-probability low-base state”, the “low-probability high-base game state” is “low-probability-high-base state”, and the “high-probability low-base game state” is “high-probability”. The “low base state” and the “high-probability high-base gaming state” can be abbreviated to the “high-probability high-base state”, respectively. The states that constitute the gaming state include a state related to the probability of being determined to be "big hit" in the jackpot determination and a state related to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-time saving state and a time saving state.

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

  The non-time saving state is set in a “low-probability low-base gaming state”, a “high-probability low-base gaming state”, or a “big hit gaming state”. The time-saving state is set in the “low-probability high-base game state” or the “high-probability high-base game state”, and the open state of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is likely to be longer than in the non-time-saving state. It is. For example, in the time saving state, the opening time (for example, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the opening time (for example, 0.08 seconds) of the electric chew 12D in the non-time saving state. Also, in the time saving state, the special figure variation pattern determination is performed using a special figure variation pattern determination table that is determined so that the special figure variation pattern having a short special figure variation time is selected more than in the non-time saving state. It is also possible to perform this (see FIGS. 11 to 12). As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure reservation is increased, and an effective prize (a prize that can be stored as the special figure reservation) at the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a jackpot with a smooth progress of the game.

  In addition, the time-saving state can make it easier for the normal figure fluctuation time to be shorter than the non-time-saving state. For example, in the time reduction state, the general figure fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the general figure fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-time reduction state is determined. Therefore, the number of executions of the general drawing lottery per unit time is larger in the time reduction state.

  Further, the time reduction state can be more easily determined as a hit in the hit determination than the non-time reduction state. For example, in the time-saving state, the hit is determined with a higher probability (for example, 59936/65536) than the probability (for example, 6600/65536) in the non-time-saving state. Therefore, in the time reduction state, the number of hits determined per hit in the unit time per unit time is larger.

  In this manner, in the time-saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D per unit time is longer than in the non-time-saving state, and the game balls can easily enter the second starting port 12 more frequently. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of award balls to the number of launch balls, increases. For this reason, in a time-saving state in which the base is high, it is possible to aim for a jackpot winning without greatly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time reduction state is a state more advantageous to the player than the non-time reduction state.

  When power is turned on for the first time in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, a non-time saving state is set. Then, for example, by winning a jackpot, the time saving state can be set. The time saving state can be changed from the time saving state to the non-time saving state by performing a predetermined number of jackpot determinations without winning the jackpot or by winning the next jackpot.

  In the time reduction state, it is easier to win a hit, the fluctuating time tends to be shorter, and the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer than in the non-time reduction state. The game related to the ordinary figure is set to be advantageous to the player in three points. However, the points set to be advantageous to this player may be a part of them.

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

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

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The production mode is a division of production (or a high-level concept attribute). The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can set a customer waiting effect mode, a normal effect mode, a positive change effect mode, a time-saving effect mode, and a big hit effect mode as effect modes.

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

  The normal effect mode can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is performed in the “low-probability low-base game state” or the “high-probability low-base game state”, and is an effect mode indicating a non-time saving state. is there. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 (B-1), a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a. As shown in FIG. 16 (B-2), a second normal effect mode in which a background image (evening normal background image G103) representing a mountain scenery in the evening is displayed on display unit 50a, and FIG. As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (nighttime background image G104) representing the nighttime mountain scenery is displayed on the display unit 50a. One or a plurality of special figure fluctuation effects are switched as one condition. Further, in each of the first to third normal effect modes, there are a normal first stage effect mode before reach is established and a normal second stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation effect. In the normal first stage effect mode, any of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the nighttime normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. The corresponding dedicated background image is displayed. Further, a special effect mode that is set only in the “high-probability low-base gaming state” may be provided.

  The certain variation effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure variation effect is performed in the “high-probability high-base gaming state”, and is an effect mode indicating that the game is in the high-probability state and the time-saving state. In the certainty effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-4, a background image representing the universe (a certainty background image G105) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, in the probabilistic effect mode, there are a probable first stage effect mode before reach is established and a probable later stage effect mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation effect. In the first stage effect mode, the display unit 50a displays the background image G105 for the second stage, but in the second stage mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of the reach is displayed.

  The time-saving effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when the special figure fluctuation effect is performed in the “low-probability high-base game state”, and is an effect mode indicating that the game is in the normal probability state and the time-saving state. In the time reduction effect mode, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 16B-5, a background image (time reduction background image G106) representing the sky is displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, in the time reduction effect mode, in the special figure variation effect, there are a time reduction first stage effect mode before the reach is established, and a time reduction second stage effect mode after the reach is established. In the early hours reduction mode, the time-saving background image G106 is displayed on the display unit 50a. In the later hours reduction mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

  The jackpot effect mode is an effect mode that can be set when a jackpot game is being performed in the “big hit game state”, and is an effect mode indicating that a jackpot game is being performed. In the jackpot effect mode, for example, during the opening of the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-1), on the display unit 50a, an opening image G107 indicating the start of the jackpot game or a right to promote “right-hand” is displayed. A jackpot opening effect in which the hit image G108 is displayed is performed. During the round in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-2), a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of paid prize balls are displayed on the display unit 50a. A round production is performed. During the ending in the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-3), on the display unit 50a, the ending image G111 indicating the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number of paid prize balls are indicated. The big hit ending effect in which the total winning ball number image G112 is displayed is performed.

  The type of the effect mode can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, special figure fluctuation production (it is also called simply “variation production”) is explained. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 changes the special figure variation pattern and the special figure lottery result (the big hit determination result, the big hit symbol type determination result, the reach determination result, The special figure fluctuation effect is executed based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result). In the special figure variation effect, the variation display of the effect symbol is performed on the display unit 50a so as to be superimposed on a predetermined background image. The effect symbol is composed of, for example, numerical symbols of 1 to 9, and in the variation display of the effect symbol, the effect symbol fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the effect symbol changes with the end of the variable display of the special figure. Stops. That is, after the variation display of the special figure variation time and the effect symbol is performed, the variation is stopped, and the stop display of the effect symbol is performed. Then, the result of the special figure lottery is notified by the stop display of the effect symbol.

  In addition, in the special figure fluctuating effect, in addition to the fluctuating display of the effect design, various kinds of display such as the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the normal button 40, the special button 41, and the like. It is possible to perform other effects using various effect devices. In this case, it is possible to continue another effect even after the stop display of the effect symbol.

4-2-1. Effect design display area As shown in FIG. 17 (A), the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 has a left effect on the left, center and right sides of the display unit 50a which is divided into three substantially equally in the horizontal direction. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a medium effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol in the special figure fluctuation effect is stopped and displayed. Similarly, the medium effect design area 50b2 and the right effect design area 50b3 are areas for displaying the medium effect design EZ2 and the right effect design EZ3.

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

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

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

  When the variable display of the special figure is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 17A, the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are stopped and displayed on the display unit 50a. FIG. 17B shows a state in which the left small symbol KZ1, the middle small symbol KZ2, and the right small symbol KZ3 are stopped and displayed, and the variable display of the special figure is not performed and the variable display of the special figure is on standby. As shown in the figure, the fluctuation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 is started with the start, and the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is started. Note that “↓” in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbol is being displayed in a fluctuating manner. Then, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “normal loss change”, as shown in FIG. 17C-1, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are different. After the temporary stop in the stop mode, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode (so-called ragged pattern) indicating a loss, as shown in FIG. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode indicating loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting a loss, such as “1.1.2” and “2.4.6”, in which the left and right symbols are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern having a reach such as “N loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 17C-2, the left effect symbol EZ1 is displayed. And the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped in the same stop mode (so-called reach eye), and reach is established. At this time, the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is continuously performed, and the reach effect according to the special figure fluctuation pattern is performed. In addition, the stop order and the stop mode of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 can be appropriately changed.

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

  In the N-reach, as shown in FIG. 18A, the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. 18B, the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually increases. Slow down. Then, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N loss change”, as shown in FIG. 18C-1, the effect is performed in a stop mode (so-called reach loss eye) indicating the reach loss. The symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting reach loss. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting reach loss, such as "7.6.7" and "5.3.5", in which the left and right symbols are the same and the middle symbol is different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “N big hit change”, as shown in FIG. 18C-2, the stop is performed in a stop mode (so-called double-eye) indicating a big hit. indicate. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting a big hit, such as "7 / 7.7" and "2.2.2", in which the left and right symbols are the same. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode indicating a big hit. In addition, the effect content of N reach is not limited to the slowdown of the medium effect symbol EZ2, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

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

  In the SP reach, after the N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. 19A, a background image dedicated to the SP reach (SP reach background image G113) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the SP image is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 indicating that the reach has been started is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19 (B), an effect dedicated to SP reach (for example, a battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final phase of the SP-reach-only effect is reached, if the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “SP big hit change”, as shown in FIG. At 50a, an effect indicating a jackpot (for example, a display in which the protagonist character is delighted to win the battle) is performed, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stop in a stop mode (so-called zoro eyes) indicating a jackpot. indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode indicating a big hit. On the other hand, when the special figure change pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, “SP loss change”, as shown in FIG. 19C-2, an effect indicating the loss (for example, when the enemy character enters a battle) (A display that is happy to win) is performed, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting reach loss. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are simultaneously stopped and displayed in a stop mode indicating loss. It should be noted that the production contents of SP reach can be changed or added as appropriate.

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

4-3. Reserved Icon Display Area The display section 50a of the image display device 50 can be provided with a reserved icon display area 50d including four display areas, as shown in FIG. The reserved icon display area 50d includes a first display area 50d1, a second display area 50d2, a third display area 50d3, and a fourth display area 50d4. The hold icon HA can be displayed in the display areas 50d1, 50d2, 50d3, and 50d4. For example, when the special figure 1 reservation number is “1”, the reservation icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special figure 1 reservation number is “2”, the first display area 50d1 The hold icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 20A, an icon display area 50e including one display area can be provided near the reserved icon display area 50d. The icon display area 50e can display the icon TA that is the same as or different from the hold icon HA in response to the start of the special figure fluctuation effect.

  It should be noted that the number of display areas constituting the reserved icon display area 50d can be changed as appropriate. Further, the reserved icon display area 50d may be a display area for displaying both the special figure 1 reserved number and the special figure 2 reserved number, or may be a display area for displaying only one of them.

4-3-1. Reservation Effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a reservation effect in response to a game ball winning in the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12. The hold effect can notify the player of the number of special figure 1 hold or special figure 2 hold.

  In the holding effect, when the game ball enters the first starting port 11 when the special figure 1 holding number is “0”, the special figure fluctuation effect is started. For example, as shown in FIG. The icon TA is displayed in the display area 50e. Then, when two more game balls win the first starting port 11 during the special figure fluctuation effect, as shown in FIG. 20C, the first display area 50d1 and the second display area of the hold icon display area 50d. The hold icon HA is displayed at 50d2, and the player is notified that the special figure 1 hold number is "2". After that, when the special figure change effect is completed and a new special figure change effect is started, as shown in FIG. 20D, the hold icon displayed in the first display area 50d1 of the hold icon display area 50d is displayed. HA moves to the icon display area 50e and is displayed as the icon TA. The hold icon HA displayed in the second display area 50d2 of the hold icon display area 50d moves to the first display area 50d1 and is displayed. Then, the player is notified that the special figure 1 reservation number is “1”.

4-4. Notice effect Pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform an notice effect at any timing during the special figure fluctuation effect. The notice effect is an effect using the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the input devices 40, 41, etc. It is possible to indicate the result of the judgment.

The movable body effect is an effect for operating the movable devices 55, 56, and 58, and functions as an effect for causing the player to expect a big hit.

  In the movable body effect, for example, when developing from N-reach to SP-reach, as shown in FIG. It is suggested that the lower movable body 56k moves from the player so as to overlap the display unit 50a and develops into SP reach. At this time, an effect image is displayed in a space of the display unit 50a that does not overlap the on-panel movable body 55k and the under-panel movable body 56k. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 21B, the on-panel movable body 55k and the under-panel movable body 56k return to a normal standby state (initial position) and develop into SP reach. In addition, the movable body effect is not limited to the suggestion of the development to SP reach, and can be changed or added as appropriate. Further, the operation content of the movable device in the movable body effect can be appropriately changed or added.

4-4-2. Operation Effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform an operation effect using the normal button 40 and the special button 41 as a notice effect. The operation effect is an effect in which the player operates the normal button 40 and the special button 41, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big hit.

  In the operation effect, for example, in SP reach, a period during which the pressing operation of the special button 41 is valid (a button operation valid period) occurs, and with the occurrence of the button operation valid period, as shown in FIG. Then, an effect for prompting the operation of the special button 41 (button operation promoting effect) is performed. In the button operation promotion effect, the button operation promotion image G3 is displayed on the display unit 50a. The button operation promotion image G3 includes an image imitating the special button 41 (a special button image G31), an image representing an operation mode (that is, a pressing operation) of the special button 41 (a pressing operation image G32), and a button operation validity period. An image representing the remaining time (operation effective period remaining time image G33). The operation valid period remaining time image G33 is composed of a generally curved progress bar, and changes with time so that the player can easily understand the remaining time of the operation valid period. Thereafter, in response to the pressing operation of the special button 41 during the button operation valid period, or after the button operation valid period has elapsed without operating the special button 41 during the button operation valid period, FIG. As shown in (5), the on-panel movable device 55 is operated, and the on-panel movable body 55k moves so as to overlap the display unit 50a as viewed from the player, and the jackpot expectation degree is suggested.

4-4-3. Pre-reading effect The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform a pre-reading effect for a special figure 1 hold or a special figure 2 hold in which a special figure lottery is not performed, as a notice effect. The pre-reading effect functions as an effect for indicating in advance the lottery result of the special figure lottery for the special figure 1 hold or the special figure 2 hold.

  In the pre-reading effect, for example, when the result of the pre-reading determination for the special figure 1 reservation is “big hit”, as shown in FIG. May be displayed as “☆”. In addition, when the result of the pre-reading determination is “losing”, the hold icon HA may be displayed as “☆” as a so-called gassing effect. The pre-reading effect can be performed on both or one of the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation. Further, the present invention is not limited to the change of the display mode of the hold icon HA, but can be changed or added as appropriate. For example, it is also possible to change the stop mode of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 in the special figure fluctuation effect.

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

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

  Subsequent to the power-on process, the interrupt is prohibited (S002), and the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) is executed. In this ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B are updated by adding one. When the counter value of each random number reaches the upper limit value, it returns to “0” and is added again. Note that the initial value of the counter of each random number may be a value other than “0” or may be changed randomly. At least a part of each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like.

  When the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) ends, an interrupt is permitted (S004). While the interruption is permitted, the execution of the main-side timer interruption processing (S005) becomes possible. The main timer interrupt process (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse repeatedly input to the gaming CPU 102 at a period of, for example, 4 msec. That is, the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. From the end of the main timer interrupt process (S005) to the next start of the main timer interrupt process (S005), various types of normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S003) are performed. The process of updating the random number counter value is repeatedly executed. When an interrupt pulse is input to the gaming CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt process (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is enabled (S004).

[2. Main timer interrupt processing]
Next, the main timer interrupt processing (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 24, in the main timer interrupt process (S005), first, an output process (S101) is executed. In the output process (S101), a command or the like set in an output buffer provided in the game RAM 104 of the main control board 100 in each process described below is output to the sub control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

  In the input process (S102) performed after the output process (S101), the game control microcomputer 101 captures, for example, a detection signal from a lower plate full switch that detects the fullness of the lower plate 35, and performs the game as lower plate full data. In the output buffer of the RAM 104 for use.

  The next ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S103) is the same as the ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process (S003) performed in the main control main process of FIG. That is, the updating process of the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B is performed during the execution period of the main timer interrupt process (S005) and during the other period (the main timer interrupt process ( After the end of S005), a period until the next main-side timer interrupt process (S005) is started).

  Subsequent to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S103), the game control microcomputer 101 performs a sensor detection process (S104), subsequently performs a normal operation process (S105), and further performs a special operation process (S106). Do. The sensor detection processing, the normal operation processing, and the special operation processing will be described later.

  Following the special operation process (S106), a distribution device control process for controlling the distribution device 16D is performed (S107).

  Next, the game control microcomputer 101 executes other processing (S108), and ends the main timer interrupt processing (S005). As other processing (S108), power-off monitoring processing when power is turned off, updating of a timer provided in the game RAM 104, and the like are performed. As another process (S108), a payout control process of paying out a prize ball to a player is performed. In the payout control processing, a prize ball request signal is transmitted to the payout control board 170 in accordance with the winning of the game ball to each winning port. That is, the payout control board 170 pays out prize balls based on the prize ball request signal.

  Then, the game control microcomputer 101 repeatedly executes the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main process until an interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 next (see FIG. 23), and the interrupt pulse is input. Then (after about 4 msec), the main timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed again. In the output process (S101) of the main timer interrupt process (S005) executed again, the game control microcomputer 101 sets the command set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main timer interrupt process (S005). And so on.

  In the first special winning opening sensor processing, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been detected by the first special winning opening sensor. In addition, a command for the first special winning opening sensor according to the result of the processing is generated.

  In the second winning opening sensor processing, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been detected by the second winning opening sensor. Further, a command for the second special winning opening sensor according to the result of the processing is generated.

  In the specific area sensor processing, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been detected by the specific area sensor. In addition, a command for a specific area sensor is generated according to the result of the processing.

[2-2. Normal operation processing]
In the normal operation process (S105), a normal symbol standby process, a normal symbol variation process, a normal symbol determination process, and an auxiliary game control process are sequentially performed. Then, the command generated in each process is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104.

  The normal symbol standby process is a process that is performed during standby in which the variable display of the normal symbol and the auxiliary game are not performed. In the ordinary symbol standby process, a hit determination is made based on the ordinary symbol random numbers stored in the ordinary symbol holding storage unit 106. In addition, the general figure fluctuation pattern is determined based on the current game state to determine the general figure fluctuation pattern. Then, a general figure change start command including information on the result of the hit determination and the general figure change pattern is generated. Then, based on the determined time-varying time associated with the determined time-varying variation pattern, the general-purpose display 82 is caused to start variable display of the time-varying figure.

  The normal symbol change process is a process performed during the variable display of a normal symbol. In the ordinary symbol change process, the stoppage of the ordinary figure is performed based on the hit determination result in response to the elapse of the ordinary figure change time from the start of the variable display of the ordinary figure being executed. Then, a general figure change stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the general figure is generated.

  The normal symbol determination process is a process performed when a normal symbol is stopped and displayed. In the normal symbol confirmation process, the stop-displayed general symbol is a hit symbol in response to the elapse of a predetermined stop time (for example, 0.8 seconds) from the start of the stop display of the running general symbol. It is determined whether or not there is. If the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is started based on the current game state and the auxiliary game control table, and an auxiliary game start command indicating the start of the auxiliary game is generated.

Then, a jackpot determination is made to determine whether the hit is a jackpot or a loss. If the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, a jackpot symbol type determination for determining the jackpot symbol type is performed using the jackpot symbol type random number of the special figure 1 relation random numbers and the special symbol 1 jackpot symbol type determination table. Then, a symbol designating command representing the determined big hit symbol type is generated. If the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, a symbol designating command representing the loss is generated.

  The special figure 1 change pattern determination processing is processing performed after the special figure 1 determination processing. In the special figure 1 change pattern determination process, the special figure change pattern random number among the special figure 1 relation random numbers stored in the first area of the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a and the special figure 1 corresponding to the current game state are used. The special pattern 1 change pattern is determined using the change pattern table. The determination of the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern is also associated with the number of special figure 1 related random numbers (special figure 1 reservation number) stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a. Then, a special figure 1 change start command representing the determined special figure 1 change pattern is generated. The special figure 1 change start command is associated with information about the special figure 1, information on the result of the jackpot determination, information on the result of the reach determination, information on the result of the jackpot type determination, and the special figure 1 change pattern. It includes information on the special figure fluctuation time. Then, the special figure 1 display unit 81a starts variable display of the special figure 1 based on the special figure changing time period associated with the determined special figure 1 changing pattern.

  The special figure 1 hold storage unit shift processing is a processing performed when the special figure 1 determination processing and the special figure 1 variation pattern determination processing are performed. In the special figure 1 hold storage unit shift processing, the special figure 1 relation random number stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a is shifted by one to the first area side, and the special figure 1 relation random number in the first area is specially shifted. Cleared from the hold storage unit 105a in FIG. In this way, the special figure 1 related random numbers are digested in the order of acquisition. Then, a special figure 1 hold number command representing the special figure 1 hold number after the processing is generated.

  In this embodiment, when both the special figure 2 hold number and the special figure 1 hold number exist, the special figure 2 determination process is performed with priority, and the variable display of the special figure 2 and the variable display of the special figure 1 are performed. Are not performed in parallel.

[2-3-2. Special symbol change processing]
The special symbol change process is a process performed during variable display of a special figure. In the special symbol fluctuation process, the special figure display 81 terminates the variable display of the special figure and stops and displays the special figure according to the result of the jackpot determination in response to the elapse of the special figure fluctuation time. If the result of the jackpot determination is a big hit, a big hit symbol indicating a big hit is stopped and displayed. If the result of the big hit determination is a loss, a lost symbol indicating a loss is stopped and displayed. Then, a special figure fluctuation stop command indicating the end of the variable display of the special figure is generated.

[2-3-3. Special design confirmation process]
The special symbol determination process is a process performed when the special figure is stopped and displayed. In the special symbol determination process, if the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a big hit symbol, the game is shifted to the big hit gaming state. Then, an opening command indicating the start of the big hit game is generated. The opening command includes information on the result of the jackpot type determination. If the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the high probability state is to be ended, the normal probability state is set. Then, a high probability end command indicating transition to the normal probability state is generated. If the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the time reduction state is to be ended, the non-time reduction state is set. Then, a time saving end command indicating transition to the non-time saving state is generated. When the special figure currently stopped and displayed is a lost symbol and the number of special figure 2 reservations and special figure 1 reservation is “0”, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 indicates that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is in a standby state. Generate commands.

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

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

  The command generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6. Next, the control of the effect by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. Note that counters, timers, flags, buffers, and the like appearing in the following description of the effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124.

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

  Next, interrupts are prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed updating process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for performing determinations on various effects are updated. As an example, the method of updating the effect determination random number counter for various effects may be the same as the ordinary symbol / special symbol main random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above. At the time of updating, instead of adding random numbers one by one, two may be added. The same applies to the normal symbol / special symbol main random number updating process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

  Upon completion of the random number seed update process, a command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub-control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140. The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display unit 50a according to the received command (executes various effects using the image). The sub-control board 120 outputs various sounds performed by the image control board 140, outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by sound), and controls the lamp. The frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 emit light through the circuit 151 (execute various light emission effects by light emission), and operate the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 (various movable object effects by operation). Or execute).

  The effect control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits an interrupt (S4005). Thereafter, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While the interruption is permitted, the reception interruption processing (S4010) and the sub timer interruption processing (S4011) can be executed.

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

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

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

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

<First embodiment>
Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above-described basic embodiment is also applied to the first embodiment.

  First, the jackpot determination performed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. When performing the jackpot determination when the gaming state is in the high-probability state, the game control microcomputer 101 can perform a fall determination to determine whether to switch from the high-probability state to the normal-probability state. The falling ROM determination table shown in FIG. 27A is stored in the gaming ROM 103. When the game ball wins the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, the game control microcomputer 101 acquires a falling random number in addition to the special figure-related random number shown in FIG. It is stored in the FIG. 1 reservation storage unit 105a or the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b as the special figure 1 reservation or the special figure 2 reservation. Specifically, the special figure-related random number and the falling random number acquired by the game ball winning the first starting port 11 are stored in the special figure 1 holding storage unit 105a, and the game ball is stored in the second starting port 12. The special figure-related random number and the falling random number acquired by winning are stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b. In the first embodiment, the upper limit of the special figure 1 reservation number that can be stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a is “4”, and the upper limit of the special figure 2 reservation number that can be stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b is "4".

  The falling random number is a random number for performing a falling determination, and includes determination values of 0 to 79 as shown in FIG. The game control microcomputer 101 performs a fall determination using the fall determination table immediately before performing the jackpot determination in the special figure 1 determination processing or the special figure 2 determination processing. Note that when the game state is the normal probability state, the fall determination is not performed.

  In the fall determination table, the determination value of the fall random number is assigned to “fall win” and “fall non-win” which are the results of the fall determination. In the fall determination, the game control microcomputer 101 checks the fall random number stored in the special figure 1 hold storage unit 105a or the special figure 2 hold storage unit 105b against the fall determination table, and determines whether “fall win” and “fall non-fall”. "Winning" is determined. When the game control microcomputer 101 determines that the game is “falling winning” (when the falling random number value is “7”), the gaming state is switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state and the “falling non-winning” is performed. When it is determined that there is (the falling random number value is other than “7”), the game state is not switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state. In other words, if it is determined to be "fall winning", a jackpot determination is made using the normal probability jackpot determination table, and if it is determined to be "fall non-winning", the jackpot is determined using the high probability jackpot determination table. A determination is made. The fall winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

  Next, a jackpot game that can be executed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The big hit game control table shown in FIG. 28 is stored in the game ROM 103. The game control microcomputer 101 can execute a jackpot game using the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. In the first embodiment, the jackpot game is executed using the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. 28. However, the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. 14 may be used together.

  The game control microcomputer 101 can determine either “big hit symbol 1” or “big hit symbol 2” in the big hit symbol type determination in the special figure 1 determining process. On the other hand, in the big hit symbol type determination in the special figure 2 determination process, it is possible to determine any of “big hit symbol 3” and “big hit symbol 4”.

  In the big hit symbol type determination in the special figure 1 determination process, the game control microcomputer 101 determines the type of the big hit symbol at a rate of 70% for "big hit symbol 1" and 30% for "big hit symbol 2". On the other hand, in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 2 determination process, the type of the jackpot symbol is determined at a rate of 70% for "big hit symbol 3" and 30% for "big hit symbol 4". As shown in FIG. 28, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a jackpot game according to the determined type of the jackpot symbol. Note that the determination ratio of the type of the big hit symbol can be appropriately changed.

  Here, the jackpot game will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 28, in “big hit game 1” executed when “big hit symbol 1” is determined and “big hit game 2” executed when “big hit symbol 2” is determined, as shown in FIG. 16 round games are played. From the 1st round to the 8th round, the first big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per round game, and from the 9th to the 16th round, the maximum 0.1 prize opening per round game is 0.1. The first big winning opening 14 is opened for a second. From 9R to 16R of the jackpot game, the opening time of the first special winning opening 14 is extremely short, and it is a round in which a winning in the first special winning opening 14 cannot be expected in reality. That is, although the total number of round games in the jackpot game is 16 times, the actual number of round games is 8 times.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 28, in the "big hit game 3" executed when the "big hit symbol 3" is determined, and in the "big hit game 4" executed when the "big hit symbol 4" is determined. Then, a round game is performed 16 times. Then, in all of the rounds 1 to 16, the first big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per round game. That is, in the jackpot game, the total number of round games and the number of substantial round games are 16 times.

  Therefore, "big hit game 3" or "big hit game 4" in which the number of substantial round games is 16 is "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 2" in which the number of substantial round games is 8 times. It can be said that the jackpot game that is more advantageous to the player than the above, and the jackpot game state in which “jackpot game 3” or “jackpot game 4” is executed is the jackpot game state in which “jackpot game 1” or “jackpot game 2” is executed. It can be said that the game state is more advantageous to the player than the game state.

  Next, a game state that can be controlled by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game control microcomputer 101 can reduce the time even after the jackpot game state in which the jackpot game of any one of “big hit game 1”, “big hit game 2”, “big hit game 3” and “big hit game 4” is executed. Set the state. In addition, after the jackpot game state in which one of the jackpot games 1 and 3 is executed, a high probability state is set, while the jackpot game 2 and the jackpot game 4 are set. After the jackpot game state in which any jackpot game is executed, the high probability state is not set (the normal probability state is set). Therefore, after the jackpot game state in which one of the "big hit game 1" and the "big hit game 3" is executed, the "high probability high base game state" in which the high probability state and the time saving state are set. After the jackpot game state in which the jackpot game of any of "big hit game 2" and "big hit game 4" is executed, a "low probability high base game state" is set in which the normal probability state and the time saving state are set. In the first embodiment, the “high-probability-high-based gaming state” can be continued up to any one of “fall winning” determined by the fall determination and “big hit” determined by the big hit determination. is there. On the other hand, the “low probability high base gaming state” can be continued until the number of times of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times.

  Therefore, "big hit game 1" or "big hit game 3" in which the high probability state is set thereafter is more advantageous to the player than "big hit game 2" or "big hit game 4" in which the high probability state is not set thereafter. It can be said that it is a jackpot game, and the jackpot game state in which "jackpot game 1" or "jackpot game 3" is executed is more to the player than the jackpot game state in which "jackpot game 2" or "jackpot game 4" is executed. It can be said to be an advantageous gaming state.

  Here, a description will be given of the time-saving state when the fall is determined to be "fall win" in the fall determination and the time-saving state when the hit is determined to be the big hit in the "high probability high base gaming state". I do. The game control microcomputer 101 determines that the fall has been determined to be a “fall win” until the number of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 after the “high-probability high-base game state”. Do not switch from a time saving state to a non-time saving state. For example, when it is determined in the 50th fall view relating to the variable display of the special map that the “fall win” has been selected, the state is switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state as shown in FIG. You cannot switch from state to non-time saving state. Thereafter, when the variable display and the stop display of the 100th special figure are completed, the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is the “high-probability high-base game state” for the first to 49th times, the “low-probability high-base game state” for the 50th to 100th times, and the “low-probability high-base game state” for the 50th to 100th times. Low probability based gaming state ".

  On the other hand, even if the number of times the variable display of the special figure has been changed to 100 since the “high-probability high-base gaming state” has been reached, the game control microcomputer 101 did not determine that it was a “fall win” in the fall determination. In some cases, the time saving state is continued thereafter. Then, if it is determined in the subsequent fall determination that “fall has been won”, when the variable display of the special figure is started, the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state. For example, if it is determined in the fall determination relating to the 120th special figure variable display that the “fall has been won”, as shown in FIG. 29B, at the 120th special figure variable display start timing, The state can be switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state and from the time reduction state to the non-time reduction state. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is the “high-probability high-base gaming state” from the first time to the 119th time, and the “low-probability low-base gaming state” from the 120th time.

  Also, the game control microcomputer 101 determines that the big hit determination is “big hit” until the number of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 after the “high-probability high-base gaming state”. The time saving state is continued until the variable display and the stop display of the special figure based on the determination are completed. On the other hand, if the number of times of variable display of the special figure after the high probability and high base gaming state is set to 101 or more is determined to be "big hit" in the jackpot determination, the variable display of the special figure based on the determination is performed. Switch from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state when starting. For example, when it is determined that the hit is “big hit” in the jackpot determination regarding the variable display of the 120th special figure, as shown in FIG. 29C, the time reduction is performed at the start timing of the variable display of the 120th special figure. Switch from state to non-time saving state. In other words, when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time reduction state is the 101st or later, even if it is determined that "fall win" in the fall determination, it is determined to be "big hit" in the jackpot determination. Even in this case, switching from the time saving state to the non-time saving state is performed at the same timing (start of variable display of a special figure). Therefore, depending on the switching from the time saving state to the non-time saving state, it is not possible to determine whether the fall has been determined to be "fall winning" or the big hit has been determined to be "big hit". In this case, the variable display of the special figure is the “high-probability high-base gaming state” for the first to 119th times, and the “high-probability low-base gaming state” for the 120th time.

  Further, the game RAM 104 is provided with a number storage unit (not shown) for storing the number of times of variable display of the special figure. By updating the number of times stored in the number-of-times storage unit in response to the start, it is possible to count the number of times of variable display of the special figure after setting the time saving state. Note that the number of times stored in the number-of-times storage unit is reset by performing the next big hit game.

  Next, a special figure 2 variation pattern that can be determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. In the gaming ROM 103, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. 30A, a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table B shown in FIG. 30B, and a special figure 2 shown in FIG. A variation pattern determination table C, a special figure 2 variation pattern determination table D shown in FIG. 30 (D), and a special figure 2 variation pattern determination table E shown in FIG. 30 (E) are stored. The game control microcomputer 101 includes a special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A, a special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B, a special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C, and a special figure shown in FIGS. 30A to 30E. The special figure 2 change pattern can be determined using the two change pattern determination table D or the special figure 2 change pattern determination table E. In the first embodiment, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination tables A to E shown in FIGS. 30A to 30E are used. It is also possible to use it.

  In the special figure 2 change pattern determination process in the time saving state, the game control microcomputer 101 determines the big hit probability, the result of the big hit determination, the result of the reach determination, the special figure change pattern random number, and the number of times of variable display of the special figure. , The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is determined. As shown in FIGS. 30A to 30E, 19 kinds of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns “THP001” to “THP009”, “THP011” to “THP018”, and “THP021” to “THP022” are provided. It is possible to determine the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. Which of the special figure 2 fluctuation patterns is determined depends on the random number of the special figure fluctuation pattern.

  The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A indicates that the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time-saving state after “big hit game 1”, “big hit game 2”, “big hit game 3”, and “big hit game 4” are executed. Used in the first to 99th times, the special figure 2 change pattern determination table B indicates that the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after “big hit game 1” and “big hit game 3” has been executed is 100 Used in the case of the first time, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C indicates that the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after the “big hit game 1” and the “big hit game 3” has been executed is 101 times or more. And the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table D is used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after “big hit game 2” and “big hit game 4” is 100 times. It is. The special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table E is switched from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state after “big hit game 1”, “big hit game 2”, “big hit game 3”, and “big hit game 4” are executed. This is used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure after the first to tenth times. The number of times of variable display of a special figure using each special figure 2 variation pattern determination table can be changed as appropriate.

  In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A, when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, three types of “THP001” to “THP003” are used as the special figure 2 variation pattern regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. One of them is determined. Of the three special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP002” is more easily determined than the other special figure 2 fluctuation patterns. Note that “THP001” is called “immediate jackpot fluctuation”, “THP002” is called “confrontation jackpot fluctuation”, and “THP003” is called “confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation”.

  When the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the result of the reach determination is “reach present”, “THP011” to “THP012” are the special figure 2 variation patterns regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. One of the two types is determined. Of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns, “THP011” is more easily determined than “THP012”. Note that “THP011” is referred to as “confrontation loss fluctuation”, and “THP012” is referred to as “confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation”.

  If the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the result of the reach determination is “no reach”, regardless of the state of the jackpot probability, “THP021” to “THP022” are used as the special figure 2 variation pattern. One of the two types is determined. Which of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns is determined depends on the allocation of the special figure 2 reservation number. When the number of special figure 2 reservations is 0 to 1, “THP021” of 13000 ms with a relatively long special figure fluctuation time is easily determined, and when the number of special figure 2 reservations is 2 to 4, "THP022" of 4000 ms with a relatively short fluctuation time is easily determined. Note that “THP021” is called “normal A loss fluctuation”, and “THP022” is called “normal B loss fluctuation”.

  In the special figure 2 change pattern determination table B, when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, two types of “THP004” to “THP005” are used as the special figure 2 change pattern regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. One of them is determined. Of the two special figure 2 fluctuation patterns, “THP005” is more easily determined than “THP004”. Note that “THP004” is referred to as “branch jackpot fluctuation”, and “THP005” is referred to as “branch / revival jackpot fluctuation”.

  In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is in the high probability state (when it is determined that “fall has not been won” in all of the 100 falling determinations), a special One of two types of “THP013” to “THP014” is determined as the variation pattern in FIG. “THP014” is easier to determine than “THP013” among the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns. Note that “THP013” is referred to as “branch / successful loss variation”. “THP014” is referred to as “branch / resurrection / successful loss variation”.

  Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is in the normal probability state (if any of the 100 falling determinations is determined to be “fall winning”), a special 2, only “THP015” is determined as the fluctuation pattern. Note that “THP015” is referred to as “branch / resurrection / failure loss fluctuation”.

  In the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C, when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, “THP001”, “THP006” to “THP007” are used as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern regardless of the state of the jackpot probability. Any of the three types is determined. Of the three special figure 1 fluctuation patterns, “THP007” is easier to determine than the other special figure 2 fluctuation patterns. Note that “THP006” is referred to as “settled jackpot variation”, and “THP007” is referred to as “settled / resurrected jackpot variation”.

  In addition, when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is in the normal probability state (when it is determined in the falling determination that the “winning” has been determined), as a special figure 2 variation pattern, Only "THP016" is determined. Note that “THP016” is referred to as “conclusion / resurrection / failure variation”.

  When the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and the current jackpot probability is in the high probability state (when it is determined that “fall is not won” in the fall determination), the special figure 2 variation pattern is used. , "THP021" to "THP022". Which of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns is determined depends on the allocation of the special figure 2 reservation number. When the special figure 2 reservation number is 0 to 1, “THP021” is easily determined, and when the special figure 2 reservation number is 2 to 4, “THP022” is easily determined.

  In the special figure 2 change pattern determination table D, if the result of the big hit determination is “big hit”, “THP008” is determined as the special figure 2 change pattern, and if the result of the big hit determination is “losing”, , "THP017" is determined as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. Note that “THP008” is referred to as “result jackpot variation”, and “THP017” is referred to as “result loss variation”.

  In the special figure 2 change pattern determination table E, if the result of the big hit determination is “big hit”, “THP009” is determined as the special figure 2 change pattern, and if the result of the big hit determination is “losing”, , “THP018” is determined as the special figure 2 variation pattern. Note that “THP009” is referred to as “revenge jackpot fluctuation”, and “THP018” is referred to as “revenge loss fluctuation”.

  Next, the prefetch determination performed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game ROM 103 stores a look-ahead determination table A shown in FIG. 31A and a look-ahead determination table B shown in FIG. 31B. The game control microcomputer 101 can make a pre-read judgment using the pre-read judgment table A or the pre-read judgment table B shown in FIGS. 31 (A) and 31 (B). The pre-reading determination includes a jackpot pre-reading determination as to whether or not the acquired special symbol random number is determined to be a “big hit” in the jackpot determination, and a special figure variation pattern random number determination based on the acquired special figure variation pattern random number. And a fall pattern pre-read determination of whether or not the obtained fall random number is determined to be “fall win” in the fall determination. The game control microcomputer 101 determines a start winning command based on the result of the prefetch determination. In the first embodiment, the look-ahead determination table A and the look-ahead determination table B shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B are used, but the look-ahead determination table shown in FIG. 13 may be used in combination. It is possible.

  The game control microcomputer 101, in the second start-up sensor processing when the time saving state is set, the result of the jackpot pre-reading judgment, the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-reading judgment, the result of the fall pre-reading judgment, and the number of times of variable display of the special figure , A start winning command is determined. As shown in FIGS. 31 (A) and 31 (B), as the start winning command, “command 001” to “command 008”, “command 011” to “command 017”, “command 021” to “command 022” Can be determined.

  In addition, when the special figure 2 suspension occurs in the time saving state, the game control microcomputer 101 determines the special figure based on the special figure 2 suspension based on the number of times of the variable display of the special figure and the special figure 2 suspension number in the time saving state. Can be determined as the variable display of the special figure in the time saving state. For example, when the special figure 2 reservation whose number of special figure 2 reservation is “2” occurs when the number of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state is 50 times, the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 reservation is performed. , The variable display of the 52nd special figure is determined. Then, the game control microcomputer 101 can determine the start winning command in accordance with the determination of how many times the variable display of the special figure based on the generated special figure 2 suspension corresponds to the variable display of the special figure. .

  Further, when the special figure 2 suspension occurs when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state is the 101st or later, the game control microcomputer 101 has already determined “fall winning” in the fall pre-reading determination for the special figure 2 reservation that occurred before that. , It may be determined whether or not the variable display of the special figure based on the suspension of the special figure 2 corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in the non-time saving state. It is possible. For example, if it is determined that “fall win” in the fall-ahead look-ahead determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 120th special figure variable display in the time saving state, the special figure corresponding to the 121st and subsequent special figure variable display When the reservation of FIG. 2 occurs, it is determined that the variable display of the special figure based on the reservation of the special figure 2 is performed in the non-time saving state. Then, the game control microcomputer 101 determines whether or not the variable display of the special figure based on the generated special figure 2 suspension corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in the non-time saving state, and determines whether the start winning command is issued. Can be determined.

  The look-ahead determination table A is used when the current number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time reduction state is the first to 100 times. It is used for the second and subsequent times.

  In the prefetch determination table A, when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big hit”, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination regardless of the result of the fall prefetch determination. If the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-read determination is “immediate big hit change”, “command 001” is determined. , "Command 003" is determined. If it is "branch jackpot variation", "command 004" is determined. If it is "branch / resurrection jackpot variation", "command 005" is determined. Is done. When the number of times of variable display of a special figure corresponds to the 101st to 104th times, “command 008” is determined regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination.

  In the prefetch determination table A, when the jackpot prefetch determination result is “losing”, the variable display of the special figure based on the suspension of the special figure 2 that is the target of the prefetch determination is changed to the 100th special figure in the time-saving state. When the display corresponds to anything other than the variable display, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination regardless of the result of the fall prefetch determination. If the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-read determination is “confrontation loss fluctuation”, “command 011” is determined. If “confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation”, “command 012” is determined, and “normal A loss” is determined. In the case of "change", "command 021" is determined, and in the case of "normal B loss fluctuation", "command 022" is determined. On the other hand, when the variable display of the special figure based on the suspension of the special figure 2 that is the target of the prefetch determination corresponds to the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time saving state, the result of the fall prefetching determination or the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetching determination is displayed. The start winning command is determined accordingly. If the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall non-winning” and the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination is “branch / successful loss variation”, “command 013” is determined, and the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall non-win”. If the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination is “branch / resurrection success loss variation”, “command 014” is determined. If the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall election”, “command 015” is determined. Is done. In the case where the number of times of variable display of the special figure corresponds to the 101st to 104th times, “command 017” is determined regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination.

  Here, the start winning command determined by the prefetch determination table A will be described. Since “command 008” and “command 017” are determined for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 101st to 104th variable display of the special figure, the change of the special figure based on the special figure 2 hold There are a case where the display is performed in a state where the time saving state is switched from the time saving state to a non-time saving state and a case where the display is performed while the time saving state is continued (see FIGS. 29A and 29B). Since the special pattern 2 fluctuation pattern determination table used differs between when the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state and when the time saving state is continued (see FIGS. 30 (C) and 30 (E)). In the pre-reading determination for the special figure 2 reservation in which the number of times of variable display corresponds to the 101st to 104th times, the result of the variation pattern pre-reading determination is not referred to, and the “command 008” or “ Command 017 "is determined.

  As for “command 013”, “command 014”, and “command 015”, the variable display of the special figure based on the suspension of the special figure 2 which is the target of the prefetch determination corresponds to the 100th variable display of the special figure in the time saving state. Only determined when. As described above, in the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time saving state, when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “branch / successful loss fluctuation”, “branch / resurrection / successful loss”. Only "fluctuation" or "branch / resurrection / failure loss fluctuation" is determined (see FIG. 30B). Therefore, in the pre-read determination for the special figure 2 suspension corresponding to the 100th variable figure display of the special figure in the time saving state, “command 011”, “command 012”, “command 21”, and “command 022” are not determined, and “ "Command 013", "Command 014", and "Command 015" are determined.

  In the prefetch determination table B, when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big hit”, the start winning command according to the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination is determined regardless of the result of the fall prefetch determination. If the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-read determination is “swift jackpot fluctuation”, “command 001” is determined. If the result is “settled jackpot fluctuation”, “command 006” is determined, and “settled / resurrected jackpot fluctuation”. "," Command 007 "is determined. In addition, in the case of corresponding to the variable display of the special figure performed in the non-time saving state (when it is already determined that “fall has been won” in the fall pre-read determination), regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-read determination, “ Command 008 "is determined.

  In the pre-reading determination table B, when the result of the jackpot pre-reading determination is “losing”, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the fall pre-reading determination or the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-reading determination. If the result of the fall pre-read determination is "fall non-winning" and the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-read determination is "normal A loss fluctuation", "command 021" is determined, and the result of the fall pre-read determination is "fall non-win" and If the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination is “normal B loss fluctuation”, “command 022” is determined, and if the result of the fall prefetch determination is “fall win”, “command 016” is determined. In addition, in the case where it corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in the non-time saving state (when it is already determined that “fall has been won” in the fall pre-reading determination), regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-reading determination, “ Command 017 "is determined.

  Here, the start winning command determined by the prefetch determination table B will be described. “Command 008” and “command 017” are determined for the suspension of the special figure 2 relating to the variable display of the special figure performed after the switching to the non-time saving state. In the case of switching to the non-time saving state, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table E is used (see FIG. 30 (E)), so that the special figure relating to the variable display of the special figure performed after the switching to the non-time saving state is performed. In the prefetch determination for the 2 suspension, the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination is not referred to, and the “command 008” or “command 017” is determined based only on the result of the jackpot prefetch determination.

  Further, the “command 016” is determined only when it is determined that the “fall win” has been determined in the fall determination for the special figure 2 reservation that is the target of the prefetch determination. As described above, if it is determined in the fall determination that “fall has been won”, the jackpot determination is performed in a state where the state has been switched to the normal probability state. In this case, only the “conclusion / resurrection / failure loss fluctuation” is determined as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern (see FIG. 30C). Therefore, in the pre-reading determination for the suspension of the special figure 2 which is determined to be “fall winning” in the falling determination, “command 021” and “command 022” are not determined, and “command 016” is determined. I have.

  Next, an effect mode that can be set by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIG. The effect control microcomputer 121 can set “super RUSH mode”, “RUSH mode” or “revenge mode” after the jackpot game state.

  The “super RUSH mode” is an effect mode that indicates a “high-probability high-base gaming state”, and is set in response to the start of the “high-probability high-base gaming state”. The “RUSH mode” is an effect mode that indicates a “low-probability high-base gaming state”, and is set according to the start of the “low-probability high-base gaming state”. The “revenge mode” is an effect mode that indicates a “low-probability low-base gaming state”, and changes from a “high-probability high-base gaming state” to a “low-probability low-base gaming state”, or It is set in accordance with the transition from the “high-probability base gaming state” to the “low-probability low-base gaming state”. Each effect mode is distinguished by the display on the display unit 50a. When the “super RUSH mode” is set, a band image with the characters “super RUSH mode” is displayed on the upper part of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 34A), and the “RUSH mode” is set. When it is set, a band image with the letters “RUSH mode” is displayed above the display unit 50a (see FIG. 40A). When “Revenge mode” is set, On the upper part of the display unit 50a, a band image with the text "Revenge mode" is displayed (see FIG. 46B).

  FIG. 32 (A) shows that after the jackpot game state, the game state changes to the “high-probability high-base game state”, and after the 100 + α-th (α is an integer equal to or greater than 1) variable display of the special map, it is determined that “fall has been won” in the fall determination. It is a figure showing transition A of the production mode when it is determined. When the “high probability high base gaming state” is started, the “super RUSH mode” is set. The “super RUSH mode” can be continued until 100 times of variable display of special figures are performed. If the "high-probability high-base game state" is maintained without switching to the normal probability state by all the fall determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the "super RUSH mode", the 101st special The "super RUSH mode" continues after the variable display in the figure. This "super RUSH mode" is continued until it is determined that "fall winning" is determined in the fall determination or "big hit" is determined in the jackpot determination. In the "super RUSH mode" of the 100 + α-th special figure variable display, if it is determined in the fall determination that the "fall win", from "high probability high base gaming state" to "low probability low base gaming state" Although (see FIG. 29B), even in this “low-probability low-base gaming state”, the “super RUSH mode” continues. Then, the “revenge mode” is set in accordance with the end of the variable display of the special map this time. The “revenge mode” continues until ten special figures are variably displayed or until the next big hit game is executed. Note that the “super RUSH mode” may be terminated when it is determined in the fall determination that “fall win” has occurred.

  FIG. 32 (B) shows the transition of the effect mode when the “high probability high base game state” is set after the big hit game state and the “big hit” is determined by the big hit determination after the 100 + α-th special figure variable display. FIG. When the “high probability high base gaming state” is started, the “super RUSH mode” is set. If the "high-probability high-base gaming state" is maintained without switching to the normal probability state by all the fall determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the "super RUSH mode", the 101st special figure The "super RUSH mode" continues after the variable display of. Thereafter, during the “super RUSH mode” of the variable display of the 100 + α-th special map, if it is determined that the “big hit” in the jackpot determination, the “high-probability high-base gaming state” to the “high-probability low-base gaming state” (See FIG. 29C), but also in this “high-probability low-base gaming state”, the “super RUSH mode” continues. Then, the big hit effect mode is set according to the start of the big hit gaming state. Note that the “super RUSH mode” may be ended in response to the determination of “big hit” in the big hit determination.

  FIG. 32 (C) shows a case in which the “high-probability high-base gaming state” is set after the jackpot gaming state, and the “falling win” is determined in the fall determination before 100 times of variable display of the special figure is performed. It is a figure showing transition C of a production mode. When the “high probability high base gaming state” is started, the “super RUSH mode” is set. If it is switched to the normal probability state by any of the fall determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the “super RUSH mode” and becomes the “low probability high base game state”, the 100th special figure The “revenge mode” is set according to the end of the variable display (becoming the “low-probability low-base gaming state”). The “revenge mode” continues until ten special figures are variably displayed or until the next big hit game is executed. Note that the “super RUSH mode” may be ended in response to a “hit” being determined in the 100th jackpot determination for the variable display of a special figure.

  FIG. 32 (D) shows an effect mode in which the game is changed to the “low probability high base game mode” after the big hit game mode, and is determined to be “losing” in all the big hit determinations relating to the variable display of 100 special figures. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing transition D of FIG. When the “low probability high base gaming state” is started, the “RUSH mode” is set. The “RUSH mode” can be continued until 100 times of variable display of special figures are performed. If the jackpot game is not performed even if the special figure for 100 times in the "RUSH mode" is variably displayed, the variable display of the 100th special figure ends (becomes "low probability low base game state"). "Revenge mode" is set according to. The “revenge mode” continues until ten special figures are variably displayed or until the next big hit game is executed. The “RUSH mode” may be ended when it is determined that “losing” has occurred in the 100th jackpot determination regarding the variable display of a special figure.

  In addition, in the case where the jackpot game is not performed even if ten special figure variable displays are performed during the “revenge mode”, the normal effect mode is set according to the start of the eleventh special figure variable display. .

<Effect of First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the first embodiment will be described.

(1) After the “high-probability, high-base gaming state”, the time-saving state continues regardless of the result of the fall determination until the number of variable display of the special figure reaches 100, which is immediately advantageous. It is possible to enhance the interest of the game without ending the game state.

(2) Even if the number of times of variable display of a special figure reaches 100 after the “high probability and high base gaming state”, if the fall determination is not determined to be “fall win”, the time reduction state , The advantageous game state can be continued for a long time, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

(3) After the number of variable display of the special figure in the “high-probability high-base gaming state” exceeds 100, when the fall is determined to be “fall winning”, and when the jackpot is determined to be “big hit”. Since the time-saving state ends at the same timing as when it is determined that it is, whether the fall determination was determined to be `` fall win '' or the jackpot determination was determined to be `` big hit '', It is possible to make it difficult to determine, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(4) After the number of variable display of the special figure in the “high-probability high-base gaming state” exceeds 100, when the fall is determined to be “fall win”, and when the jackpot is determined to be “big hit”. In the case where it is determined that is the same, there is a case where a common "reach reach" is performed, so it is determined that the fall is determined to be "winning", or the jackpot determination is determined to be "big hit" It is possible to make it difficult to determine whether the player is playing, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(5) Falling in the non-time saving state after the variable display of the 100th special figure in the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode" in the time saving state and in the "ultra RUSH mode" in the time saving state The transition to the common "revenge mode" is made when the game is determined to be "fall win" and enters the non-time saving state, so that it is easy to understand that the non-time saving state has been achieved, It is possible to enhance interest.

<Second embodiment>
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above-described basic embodiment and the first embodiment is also applied to the second embodiment.

  First, a special figure variation effect that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 according to the special figure 2 variation pattern determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the following effects in the special figure fluctuation effect.

A. Normal fluctuation This is an effect that may be performed in response to the start of variable display of a special map. Since it is performed first in the special figure fluctuation effect, it functions as an effect indicating that the special figure fluctuation effect has started.

B. After the “normal fluctuation”, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed in the same symbol. Since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, it functions as an effect indicating that there is a possibility that the big hit game is performed. In addition, since it may later develop into a reach production such as "confrontation reach" or "settling reach", it also functions as a production that indicates that there is a possibility that a reach production will be performed.

C. Jackpot determination effect After the “normal fluctuation” in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode”, the “on board” movable body 55k and the under board movable body 56k move onto the display unit 50a without establishing “reach”. It is a production. Since it may be performed only when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, it functions as an effect indicating that a big hit game is performed.

D. Showdown Reach In the first to 99th special figure fluctuation productions in the “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”, this is a production that may be performed after “reach”, and a reach production in which the main character battles with an enemy character. is there. Since the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit” more easily than the case of “losing”, it functions as an effect indicating that there is a high possibility that the big hit game will be performed.

E. FIG. Settlement Reach In the super-RUSH mode, in the special figure variation effects after the 101st time, this is an effect that may be performed after “reach”, and is a reach effect in which the main character battles with a strong enemy character. Since the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit” more easily than the case of “losing”, it functions as an effect indicating that there is a high possibility that the big hit game will be performed. In addition, since it may be performed when the result of the fall determination is “fall win”, it also functions as an effect indicating that there is a possibility of switching from the high probability state to the normal probability state.

F. Branch effect This is an effect that may be performed in the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, in which the main character challenges the mission. Thereafter, since the time-saving state may continue, it functions as an effect indicating that the time-saving state may continue. In addition, since the time-saving state may end after that, it also functions as an effect indicating that the time-saving state may end. In addition, since a jackpot game may be performed after that, it also functions as an effect indicating that there is a possibility that the jackpot game will be performed.

G. FIG. Result Effect This is an effect that may be performed in the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “RUSH mode”, and is an effect indicating the end of the “RUSH mode”. Thereafter, the state may be switched from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state, so that it functions as an effect indicating that the time-saving state ends or the non-time-saving state starts. Further, after that, since the mode may shift to the “revenge mode”, it also functions as an effect indicating that the mode is shifted to the “revenge mode”.

H. Dialogue notice This is an effect that may be performed during “normal fluctuation” in the “super RUSH mode”, and is a noticeable effect in which the main character emits dialogue. Since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is “big hit”, it functions as an effect indicating that there is a possibility that the big hit game is performed.

I. Resurrection Direction A
This is an effect that may be performed after the protagonist character defeats the enemy character in “Confrontation Reach”, and is an effect in which the protagonist character attempts to revive by repeatedly hitting the normal button 40. After that, since the jackpot game may be performed, it functions as an effect indicating that the jackpot game may be performed.

J. Resurrection production B
This is an effect that may be performed after the hero character has been defeated by a strong enemy character in “finish reach”, and is an effect in which the hero character attempts to revive by a continuous tapping operation of the normal button 40. After that, since the jackpot game may be performed, it functions as an effect indicating that the jackpot game may be performed.

K. Resurrection Direction C
This is an effect that may be performed after the main character has failed in the mission in the “branch effect”, and is an effect in which the main character re-attempts the mission by repeatedly operating the normal button 40. Thereafter, since the time-saving state may continue, it functions as an effect indicating that the time-saving state may continue. In addition, since a jackpot game may be performed after that, it also functions as an effect indicating that there is a possibility that the jackpot game will be performed.

L. Big hit announcement effect This is an effect that may be performed after the main character succeeds in the mission in “branch effect” or “resurrection effect C”. After that, since the jackpot game is performed, it functions as an effect indicating that the jackpot game is performed.

M. Resurrection Direction A
This is an effect that may be performed after the protagonist character is defeated by the enemy character in “Confrontation Reach”, in which the image of the normal button 40 is displayed in a fade-in manner. After that, since “Resurrection effect A” may be performed, it functions as an effect indicating that “Resurrection effect A” may be performed.

N. Resurrection stir direction B
This is an effect that may be performed after the protagonist character is defeated by a strong enemy character in the “finish reach”, in which the image of the normal button 40 is displayed in a fade-in manner. After that, since “Resurrection effect B” may be performed, it functions as an effect indicating that “Resurrection effect B” may be performed.

  Next, the production flow of the main special figure fluctuation production will be described. In each effect constituting the effect flow, the effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a, and in accordance with the display of the effect image, emits light using the frame lamp 53 or the board lamp 54, And the sound effect using the sound effect 52 can be executed.

  In the special figure fluctuation production in which the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “immediate big hit fluctuation”, as shown in FIG.

  In the special figure fluctuation production in which the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation jackpot fluctuation” and “confrontation loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. Is performed. In addition, although details will be described later, in the “confrontation reach” of the “confrontation loss fluctuation”, the “revival stimulating effect A” may be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (C), in the special figure fluctuation effect in which the special pattern 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation” and “confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation”, “normal fluctuation” → “reach” → “confrontation reach” "→" Resurrection effect A "is executed. Although details will be described later, “Resurrection stir effect A” may be performed in “Confrontation Reach” of “Confrontation / Resurrection Loss Fluctuation” and “Confrontation / Resurrection Loss Fluctuation”.

  In the special figure fluctuation production in which the special pattern 2 fluctuation pattern is “branch jackpot fluctuation” and “branch / successful loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. You.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (E), in the special figure fluctuation production in which the special pattern 2 fluctuation patterns are “branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation”, “branch / resurrection / successful loss fluctuation”, and “branch / resurrection / failure fluctuation”. An effect flow composed of “branch effect” → “resurrection effect C” is executed.

  In the special figure fluctuation production in which the special pattern 2 fluctuation pattern is “variation of hit jackpot”, as shown in FIG. You.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (G), in the special figure fluctuation production in which the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “conclusion / resurrection jackpot fluctuation” and “conclusion / recovery / failure fluctuation”, “normal fluctuation” → “reach” → “ An effect flow composed of "reaching effect" → "resurrection effect B" is executed. In addition, although details will be described later, “Resurrection stir effect B” may be performed in “Settling Reach” of “Settling / Resurrection Jackpot Fluctuation” and “Settling / Resurrection / Failure Loss Fluctuation”.

  In the special figure fluctuation effect in which the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “result jackpot fluctuation” and “result loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG.

  In the special figure fluctuation production in which the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “normal A loss fluctuation” and “normal B loss fluctuation”, an effect flow composed of only “normal fluctuation” is executed (not shown).

  Next, the main effects executed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be specifically described. In the special figure fluctuation effect described below, the fluctuation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 and the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are also performed, but the illustration of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 is omitted. I do. In addition, in the special figure fluctuation effect described below, the display of the hold icon HA is also performed in parallel, but illustration of the hold icon HA is omitted.

  First, the "big hit confirmed effect" will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “big hit determination effect” when the special figure 2 change pattern is “immediate big hit change”. The “big hit determination effect” may be performed other than the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode”. In the “big hit determination effect”, execution of “big hit game 3” is suggested.

  FIGS. 34 (A) to 34 (C) are diagrams illustrating a manner in which the “big hit determination effect” is performed. When "normal fluctuation" is started in the special figure fluctuation effect, as shown in FIG. 34 (A), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a. After that, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses from the start of the fluctuation display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3, a "big hit determination effect" is performed.

  In the "big hit determination effect", as shown in FIG. 34B, when all of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are displayed in a variable manner, the on-panel movable body 55k and the under-panel movable body 56k are displayed. Appears on the part 50a. Specifically, the on-panel movable body 55k descends from the normal standby state, and the under-panel movable body 56k rises from the normal standby state. Thereafter, the on-panel movable body 55k and the under-panel movable body 56k return to the normal standby state, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 indicate a jackpot as shown in FIG. 7.7 ”and stop display.

  Next, “showdown reach” and “revival effect A” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “reach-reach” when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation jackpot fluctuation”, “confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation”, “confrontation loss fluctuation”, “confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation”. In the case where the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation / resurrection jackpot fluctuation” and “confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation”, “resurrection effect A” can be executed. “Confrontation reach” and “revival effect A” may be performed in the first to 99th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode”, but are not performed in other cases. In “Confrontation reach” and “Resurrection effect A”, the possibility of executing “Big hit game 3” is suggested.

  FIG. 35A to FIG. 35E are diagrams illustrating a manner in which the “reach reach” is performed. When "normal fluctuation" is started in the special figure fluctuation effect, as shown in FIG. 35 (A), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 35B, when “reach” is established, “confrontation reach” is performed.

  In the “reach reach”, as shown in FIG. 35C, the main character image G10 and the enemy character image G11 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character and the enemy character battle is displayed. After that, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “fighting jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 35 (D), a scene where the main character has defeated the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbol EZ1 is displayed. , EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a big hit (for example, the "5.5, 5" double-eye). On the other hand, if the special pattern 2 change patterns are “showdown / resurrection loss change”, “showdown loss change”, and “showdown / recovery loss change”, as shown in FIG. A scene in which the character has been defeated (a scene in which the protagonist character falls down) is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, a reach loss of “5.6.5”). . Thereafter, if the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “fight loss fluctuation”, the special figure fluctuation effect is terminated as it is, but the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “fight / recovery jackpot fluctuation”, “fight / recovery loss fluctuation”. , "Resurrection effect A" is performed.

  FIGS. 36 (A) to 36 (E) are diagrams illustrating a state in which “Resurrection effect A” is performed. When the scene in which the protagonist character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a and the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a loss (see FIG. 35E). Before the “Resurrection effect A” is performed, “Resurrection effect A” is performed. Note that the “Resurrection Induction Effect A” may also be performed in the special figure change effect of “Confrontation Loss Change”, and the details will be described later.

  In “Resurrection Induction A”, translucent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right sides of the display unit 50a, respectively, as shown in FIG. Is moved toward the center. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (B), when the two button images G12a and G12b overlap at the center of the display unit 50a, "Resurrection effect A" is performed.

  In “Resurrection effect A”, a button operation valid period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. 36C, a non-translucent button image G12c is displayed on the display unit 50a, and a lower part of the button image G12c is displayed. , An operation prompting image G13 for prompting the continuous tapping operation of the normal button 40 is displayed. After that, in response to the continuous operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period, or after the button operation valid period elapses without the continuous operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period, the special figure 2 changes. When the pattern is “change of confrontation / resurrection jackpot”, a scene in which the main character stands up is displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. (E.g., "5.5, 5"), and stop display is performed. On the other hand, when the special figure 2 change pattern is “confrontation / resurrection loss change”, a scene where the main character does not stand up is displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a loss (for example, the reach loss of “5.6.5”).

  Next, the "branch effect" and the "resurrection effect C" will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 determines that the special figure 2 variation pattern is “branch jackpot variation”, “branch / resurrection jackpot variation”, “branch / successful loss variation”, “branch / resurrection / successful loss variation”, “branch / resurrection / variation”. In the case of "failure loss fluctuation", "branch effect" can be executed, and the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation", "branch / resurrection / successful loss fluctuation", "branch / resurrection / failure fluctuation". In this case, "Resurrection effect C" can be executed. "Branch effect" and "Resurrection effect C" may be performed in the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the "super RUSH mode", but are not performed in other cases. In the “branch effect” and the “resurrection effect C”, it is suggested that the “super RUSH mode” is continued, the “super RUSH mode” ends, or the “big hit game 3” is executed.

  FIG. 37 (A) to FIG. 37 (D) are diagrams showing a state where a “branch effect” is performed. The “branch effect” is performed according to the start of the special figure change effect. In the “branch effect”, as shown in FIG. 37A, the main character image G10 and the door image G14 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character challenges a mission of opening the door is displayed. Thereafter, when the special figure 2 change pattern is “branch jackpot change”, as shown in FIG. 37 (B), a scene where the hero character opens the door and succeeds in the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a. A "big hit announcement effect" in which a big hit suggestion image G15 (here, a character image of "big hit") indicating that a big hit game is performed is performed. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a big hit (for example, "5.5.5"). When the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “branch / successful loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 37C, a scene where the hero character opens the door and succeeds in the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a. A continuation suggestion image G16 (here, a character image of “continuation”) indicating that the “super RUSH mode” is to be continued is displayed. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, "1.2.3"). On the other hand, when the special pattern 2 fluctuation patterns are “branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation”, “branch / resurrection / successful loss fluctuation”, and “branch / resurrection / failure fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. Then, a scene in which the hero character cannot open the door and fails the mission is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the "resurrection effect C" is performed. The scene in which the mission fails is an effect indicating that the “super RUSH mode” has ended.

  FIGS. 38 (A) to 38 (D) are diagrams showing a state where “Resurrection effect C” is performed. In “Resurrection effect C”, a button operation valid period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. 38A, a button image G12c and an operation promotion image G13 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and the hero character Is re-challenging the mission to open the door. After that, in response to the continuous operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period, or after the button operation valid period elapses without the continuous operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period, the special figure 2 changes. When the pattern is “branch / resurrection jackpot fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 38 (B), the jackpot suggestion image G15 is displayed on the display unit 50a together with a scene where the hero character opens the door and succeeds in the mission. "Big hit announcement effect" is performed. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a big hit (for example, "5.5.5"). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “branch / resurrection / successful loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 38 (C), the hero character opens the door and continuously suggests a scene where the mission succeeds. The image G16 is displayed on the display unit 50a. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, "1.2.3"). When the special figure 2 change pattern is “branch / resurrection / failure loss change”, as shown in FIG. 38 (D), the scene in which the main character cannot open the door and fails the mission is displayed. A super RUSH end suggestion image G17 (here, a text image of “end”) displayed on the screen 50a and indicating that the “super RUSH mode” is to be ended is displayed. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, "1.2.3").

  Next, "final reach" and "revival effect B" will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the "reach reach" when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "determination jackpot variation", "determination / resurrection jackpot variation", or "determination / resurrection / failure variation". In FIG. 2, when the change pattern is “change in settling / restoring jackpot change” or “change in settling / restoring / failure loss”, “resurrection effect B” can be executed. "Conclusion reach" and "Resurrection effect B" may be performed in the special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st time in the "super RUSH mode", but are not performed in other cases. The “finish reach” and “resurrection effect B” indicate that “big hit game 3” is executed or “super RUSH mode” is ended.

  FIGS. 39 (A) to 39 (E) are diagrams showing a manner in which the “reach reach” is performed. When the “normal fluctuation” is started, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are fluctuated and displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 39B, when "reach" is established, "finalization reach" is performed.

  In the “reach reach”, as shown in FIG. 39 (C), the main character image G10 and the strong enemy character image G18 are displayed on the display unit 50a, and a scene in which the main character and the strong enemy character battle is displayed. Thereafter, when the special figure 2 change pattern is “change in the hit jackpot”, as shown in FIG. 39 (D), a scene in which the main character has defeated the strong enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbol EZ1 is displayed. , EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a big hit (for example, the "5.5, 5" doublet). On the other hand, if the special figure 2 change pattern is “change in settlement / resurrection jackpot change” or “change in settlement / resurrection / failure loss”, the main character defeats the strong enemy character as shown in FIG. The scene is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a loss (for example, a reach loss of “5.6.5”). After that, “Resurrection effect B” is performed via “Resurrection effect effect B”.

  In “Resurrection Induction Effect B”, similarly to “Resurrection Induction Effect A”, translucent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right sides of the display unit 50a, respectively, and the two button images G12a and G12b A fade-in display in which is moved toward the center is performed (see FIG. 36A). Thereafter, when the two button images G12a and G12b overlap at the center of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 36 (B)), “Resurrection effect B” is performed.

  In the “revival effect B”, a button operation valid period of the normal button 40 occurs, and similarly to the “revival effect A”, a non-translucent button image G12c is displayed on the display unit 50a and a lower portion of the button image G12c is displayed. Then, the operation prompting image G13 for prompting the continuous tapping operation of the normal button 40 is displayed (see FIG. 36C). After that, in response to the continuous operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period, or after the button operation valid period elapses without the continuous operation of the normal button 40 during the button operation valid period, the special figure 2 changes. If the pattern is “change of settlement / rebirth jackpot change”, a scene in which the main character stands up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 indicate a jackpot (for example, “5.5.5”). And display is stopped (see FIG. 36 (D)). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “conclusion / resurrection / failure loss fluctuation”, a scene where the main character does not stand up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 indicate loss. The stop display is performed in the mode (for example, the reach loss point of “5.6.5”) (see FIG. 36E).

  Next, the “result effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “result effect” when the special figure 2 change pattern is “result big hit change” or “result loss change”. The "result effect" may be performed in the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the "RUSH mode", but is not performed in other cases. In the “result effect”, the end of the “RUSH mode” or the execution of “big hit game 3” is suggested.

  FIGS. 40 (A) to 40 (C) are diagrams illustrating a manner in which a “result effect” is performed. The “result effect” is performed in response to the start of the special figure change effect. In the “result effect”, as shown in FIG. 40A, a RUSH end suggestion image G19 (here, a character image of “RUSH end”) indicating that the “RUSH mode” is ended is displayed on the display unit 50a. You. Thereafter, if the special figure 2 change pattern is “result big hit change”, as shown in FIG. 40 (B), the RUSH end suggestion image G19 indicates a blessing image G20 ( Here, the character image changes to “congratulations”. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a big hit (for example, "5.5.5"). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “result loss fluctuation”, as shown in FIG. 40 (C), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are lost without changing the RUSH end suggestion image G19. Is stopped and displayed in a manner (for example, “1.2.3”), and the special figure fluctuation effect is ended.

  Next, the "line notice" will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute “line notice” in the “super RUSH mode”. The “serial notice” includes an effect mode A in which the serif characters are displayed in white, and an effect mode B in which the serif characters are displayed in red. The effect control microcomputer 121 uses the dialogue notice selection table shown in FIG. 41 (A) to determine whether or not to perform the “serial notice”, and to display the “serial notice” in either the effect mode A or the effect mode B. Execute or select. In the second embodiment, the production mode B is more easily selected than the production mode A when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is “confrontation / resurrection loss fluctuation” than the “confrontation loss fluctuation”. It is set so that the possibility of performing the "resurrection effect A" is higher in the "serial notification" of the effect mode B than in the "serial notification". The selection ratio of the dialogue notice selection table shown in FIG. 41A can be changed as appropriate.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 executes “line notice” selected using the line notice selection table. More specifically, during the “normal fluctuation”, a serif character is displayed in a predetermined display area of the display unit 50a. "Serif notice" is a well-known effect, and therefore a detailed description is omitted.

  Next, “Resurrection Induction Effect A” will be described in detail. "Resurrection production A" may also be performed in a special figure fluctuation production of "Confrontation loss fluctuation" after which "Resurrection production A" is not performed. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute “Resurrection Induction Effect A” in the special figure variation effect of “Confrontation Loss Variation” using the resurrection intraction effect A selection table shown in FIG. 41 (B). It is. At the time of selection, the effect form of “line announcement” selected using the line announcement selection table shown in FIG. 41A is referred to. In the second embodiment, it is easier to select the execution of the “resurrection fanning effect A” in the effect mode B in the effect mode of the “line announcement” than in the effect mode A. Specifically, when the production mode of the “serial announcement” is the production mode A, the execution of the “resurrection fanning production A” is selected at a rate of 20% and the non-execution is performed at a rate of 80%, and the production of the “serial announcement” is performed. When the mode is the production mode B, the execution of the “Resurrection production A” is selected at a rate of 60%, and the non-execution is performed at a rate of 40%. Is selected at a rate of 10% and non-execution at a rate of 90%. Note that the selection ratio can be changed as appropriate.

  The effect control microcomputer 121 executes the “resurrection fantastic effect A” at the execution ratio indicated in the resurrection fantastic effect A selection table. This “Resurrection Induction A” is partially different from “Resurrection Induction A” when the “Resurrection Induction A” is performed thereafter (see FIGS. 36 (A) and 36 (B)).

  FIGS. 42 (A) and 42 (B) are diagrams illustrating a state where “Resurrection Induction Effect A” is performed in the special figure change effect of “Confrontation Loss Change”. In the “showdown reach”, a scene in which the main character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and after the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (a so-called reach loss) (FIG. 35 ( As shown in FIG. 42A), translucent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right sides of the display unit 50a, respectively, and the two button images G12a and G12b are located at the center. A fade-in display for moving toward is performed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 42B, a fade-out display is performed in which the two button images G12a and G12b move from the center to the left and right without overlapping at the center of the display unit 50a. At this time, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, a reach loss of “5.6.5”).

  Next, a relationship between the “reach reach” and the “ultra RUSH mode” and a relationship between the “reach reach” and the “ultra RUSH mode” will be described. "Confrontation reach" may be performed in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode", but even if the hero character is defeated by an enemy character in "confrontation reach" (directing design EZ1, Even if EZ2 and EZ3 stop and display in a manner that suggests a loss), the “super RUSH mode” will not end. On the other hand, “Determining Reach” may be performed in the special figure fluctuating effect after the 101st time in “Super RUSH mode”. If the EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), if the hero character does not stand up in the subsequent “revival effect B” (unless the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 change to a mode suggesting a jackpot), “super” The “RUSH mode” ends. In other words, the ease of ending the time saving state differs between the case where the player loses after the “reach reach” and the case where the player loses after the “reach reach”. In the second embodiment, the time saving state is more easily completed when a loss occurs after the “reach reach” than when a loss occurs after the “reach reach”. Therefore, it can be said that the “reach to reach” has a relatively low level of anxiety about the end of the time reduction state, and the “reach to reach” has a relatively high level of anxiety about the end of the time reduction state.

  Next, the relationship between “revival effect A” and “super RUSH mode” and the relationship between “revival effect B” and “super RUSH mode” will be described. "Resurrection effect A" may be performed in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode", but even if the main character does not stand up in "resurrection effect A" (effect symbols EZ1, EZ2). , EZ3 stop and display in a manner suggesting a loss), but the “super RUSH mode” is not terminated. On the other hand, the “resurrection effect B” may be performed in the special figure change effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”. However, if the main character does not stand up in the “resurrection effect B” (effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, When the EZ 3 is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), the “super RUSH mode” ends. That is, the ease with which the time-saving state is ended is different between the case where the game is lost after the “revival effect A” and the case where the game is lost after the “resurrection effect B”. In the second embodiment, the time saving state is more easily completed when a loss occurs after “Resurrection Effect B” than when a loss occurs after “Resurrection Effect A”. Therefore, it can be said that “Resurrection effect A” has a relatively low sense of anxiety about the end of the time reduction state, and “Resurrection effect B” has a relatively high sense of anxiety regarding the end of the time reduction state.

  Next, the relationship between the “revival effect A” and the “revival effect A” and the relationship between the “resurrection effect B” and the “revival effect B” will be described. "Resurrection production A" may be performed in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation productions in "Super RUSH mode", but "Resurrection production A" is performed after "Resurrection production A". Sometimes and sometimes not. On the other hand, "Resurrection production B" may be performed in the special figure change production after the 101st time in "Super RUSH mode", but after "Resurrection production B", "Resurrection production B" is always performed. Is In other words, the probability that “Resurrection effect A” or “Resurrection effect B” is subsequently executed differs between when “Resurrection effect A” is performed and when “Resurrection effect B” is performed. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the "Resurrection Induction B" than after the "Resurrection Induction A". For this reason, it can be said that "Resurrection production A" has a relatively low expectation for "Resurrection production A", and "Resurrection production B" has relatively high expectations for "Resurrection production B".

  Next, the relationship between the "line notice" and the "resurrection fueling effect A" will be described. The “line notice” may be performed when the hero character is defeated by the enemy character in the subsequent “reach confrontation” (when the staging symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stop and display in a manner suggesting a loss). However, when the "serif notice" of the production mode A is performed, the "resurrection fanning effect A" is rarely performed. Rendering A "is often performed. That is, there is a difference in the probability that the “resurrection fantastic effect A” will be executed between the case where the “serial notice” of the effect mode A is performed and the case where the “serial notice” of the effect mode B is performed. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the effect form B “serif notice” than after the effect form A “serif notice”. Therefore, it can be said that the expectation for the “serial announcement” of the production mode A is relatively low, and the expectation for the “serial announcement” of the production mode B is relatively low. It can be said that it is high.

  Next, the relationship between the "big hit announcement effect", the "branch effect", and the "resurrection effect C" will be described. The "big hit announcement effect" may be performed in the "branch effect" or the "resurrection effect C", but is difficult to be performed in the "branch effect" and is easily performed in the "resurrection effect C". That is, the probability that the “big hit announcement effect” is performed differs between the “branch effect” and the “resurrection effect C”. In the second embodiment, the execution probability of “Resurrection effect C” is higher than that of “Branch effect”. Therefore, it can be said that the “branch effect” has a relatively low expectation for the “big hit announcement effect”, and the “resurrection effect C” has a relatively high expectation for the “big hit announcement effect”.

  Next, the relationship between the “reach reach” and “resurrection effect A” and the relationship between “reach reach” and “resurrection effect B” will be described. “Confrontation reach” may be performed in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, but when the hero character is defeated by an enemy character in “confrontation reach” (directing symbols EZ1, EZ2, When the EZ 3 is stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), there are times when the “resurrection effect A” is performed and times when it is not performed. On the other hand, the “reach reach” may be performed in the special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”. However, even if the hero character is defeated by a strong enemy character in the “reach reach” (effect design EZ1, Even if EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss), "Resurrection effect B" is always performed thereafter. In other words, the probability that the “resurrection effect A” or the “resurrection effect B” is executed differs depending on whether a loss is suggested in the “reach reach” and a loss is suggested in the “reach reach”. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher when the loss is suggested in the “reach reach” than when the loss is suggested in the “reach reach”. Therefore, it can be said that the "reach reach" has a relatively low expectation for the "revival effect A", and the "reach reach" has a relatively high expectation for the "resurrection effect B".

  Next, the relationship between the “reach reach” and the “reach reach” will be described. "Confrontation reach" may be performed in the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode", but even if the result of the fall determination is "fall win", it is "fall non-win". Even so, a “showdown reach” may take place. On the other hand, the “reach reach” is performed in the special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st time in the “super RUSH mode”, but if the result of the fall determination is “fall non-winning”, the “reach reach” is performed. The "reach reach" is performed only when the result of the fall determination is "fall win". In other words, the first to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode" are determined to be "fall win" in the fall determination, and the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode". Is different from the case where it is determined in the falling determination according to the above that the "fall winning" is made. In the second embodiment, the 101st time or more in the “super RUSH mode” is more than the case where it is determined in the “super RUSH mode” that the “fall win” is determined in the first to 100th fall maps related to the special figure variation effect. The execution probability is higher in the case where it is determined that “fall win” is obtained in the fall determination relating to the special figure fluctuation effect. Therefore, it can be said that the “reach to reach” has relatively low anxiety about switching to the normal probability state, and the “reach to reach” has relatively high anxiety about switching to the normal probability state.

<Effect of Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the second embodiment will be described.

(6) Even if a losing is suggested in “Confrontation reach” or “Conclusion reach”, after that, “Resurrection effect A” and “Resurrection effect B” that indicate whether or not a jackpot game is performed are performed. Since it may be performed, attention can be paid to the special figure fluctuation effect to the end, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(7) When "Resurrection effect A" and "Resurrection effect B" are performed after a loss is suggested in "Confrontation reach" and "Conclusion reach", "Resurrection effect A" and "Resurrection effect B" are performed. "Resurrection production A" and "Resurrection production B", which are productions suggesting that there is a possibility, are performed. Therefore, "Resurrection production A", "Resurrection production A" and "Resurrection production B" It can be suggested that the "resurrection effect B" is performed, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(8) Even if “Resurrection Production A” is not performed after “Loss Produce A” is performed after “Loss Confrontation Reach” is suggested, “Resurrection Production Production” is a production that suggests that “Resurrection Production A” may be performed. Since “A” may be performed, it is possible to expect that “resurrection effect A” is performed by “resurrection effect A”, and it is possible to enhance interest in the game.

(9) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time-saving state, the case where “Resurrection Induction A” is performed in the period of the first to 100th variable display of the special figure, and the number of variable display of the special figure Is the case where “Resurrection Direction B” is performed in the period after the 101st time, and then “Resurrection Direction A” or “Resurrection Direction B”, which is a production suggesting whether or not a jackpot game is performed. Since the probabilities are different, it is possible to change the sense of expectation that "Resurrection effect A" or "Resurrection effect B" will be performed depending on the number of times the special map is variably displayed, thereby enhancing the interest of the game. It is.

(10) In the "super RUSH mode", which is a time saving state, if a loss is suggested in the "reach reach", which is a reach effect, the "super RUSH mode" may end. And a sense of anxiety about the end of the time-saving state, it is possible to enhance interest in the game.

(11) In the “super RUSH mode” that is a time saving state, a loss is suggested in the “reach confrontation reach” that is a reach production, and a loss is suggested in the “reach reach” that is a reach production. Since the probability that the “super RUSH mode” continues is different, the sense of expectation for the continuation of the time reduction state can be changed depending on the type of the reach effect, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

(12) Under the situation where the "super RUSH mode", which is a time saving state, is more likely to end when the loss is suggested in the "reach reach" than when the loss is suggested in the "reach reach". “Resurrection production B” is a production that suggests whether or not a “big hit” occurs after “resurrection production B”, rather than the probability that “resurrection production A” is performed after the “resurrection production A”. Is more likely to be performed, it is possible to provide a lot of opportunities to avoid the end of the time saving state by the "resurrection effect B" after the "resurrection effect effect B", and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(13) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time saving state, the case where loss is suggested in the “resurrection effect A” performed during the period from the first time to the 100th time of the variable display of the special figure, The probability that the "super RUSH mode" continues will be different between the case where the loss is suggested in the "resurrection effect B" performed in the period after the 101st variable display and the variable display number. It is possible to change the sense of expectation for the continuation of the time saving state, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(14) In the “super RUSH mode” which is a time saving state, if a loss is suggested in the “resurrection effect B” which is an effect indicating whether or not a jackpot, the “super RUSH mode” may end. “Resurrection effect B” can give a sense of expectation for the jackpot game and a sense of anxiety about the end of the time-saving state, and can enhance the interest of the game.

(15) In the special figure change effect performed when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time saving state, is 100, a continuation suggestion image G16 indicating the continuation of the “super RUSH mode” is displayed. Is performed, when the super RUSH end suggestion image G17 indicating the end of the “super RUSH mode” is displayed, and when the jackpot suggestion image G15 indicating the execution of the “big hit game 3” is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode”, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(16) In the special figure change effect performed when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time saving state, is the 100th, the end of the “super RUSH mode” is suggested in the “branch effect”. Later, in the "resurrection effect C", when the continuation suggestion image G16 suggesting the continuation of the "super RUSH mode" is displayed, and when the jackpot suggestion image G15 suggesting the execution of the "big hit game 3" is displayed. Therefore, the "resurrection effect C" can be expected to keep both the time saving state and the jackpot game being performed, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(17) In the special figure fluctuation effect performed when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time saving state, is 100, it is suggested that the “super RUSH mode” ends in the “branch effect”. Later, when the big hit suggestion image G15 indicating the execution of the "big hit game 3" is displayed in the "revival effect C", and the big hit suggestion image without indicating the end of the "super RUSH mode" in the "branch effect". Since there is a time when G15 is displayed, it is possible to expect that the jackpot game is performed in both the “branch effect” and the “resurrection effect C”, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. .

(18) In the special figure variation effect performed when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time saving state, is the 100th, the “rebirth effect C” rather than the “branch effect” is “big hit game 3”. Is easily displayed, so that even if the jackpot suggestion image G15 is not displayed in the "branch effect", the expectation that the jackpot game is performed is not reduced. It is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(19) In the "super RUSH mode" which is a high probability state, when the number of times of variable display of a special figure is determined to be "fall win" in the fall determination performed in the period from the first to the 100th, In the case where the number of variable display of the special figure is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination performed in the period after the 101st time, "reach reach" and "final reach", which are reach effects, are executed. The probability of changing to the normal probability state when a reach effect is performed can be changed depending on the number of times the special figure is variably displayed, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game .

<Third embodiment>
Hereinafter, a third embodiment will be described. Unless otherwise specified, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above-described basic embodiment, the first embodiment, and the second embodiment is also applied to the third embodiment.

  First, the hold icon HA that can be displayed by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays a hold icon HA indicating the special figure 2 number of holds in the hold icon display area in the hold effect when “super RUSH mode”, “RUSH mode”, and “revenge mode” are set. 50d, and in the hold effect when the “normal effect mode” is set, a hold icon HA indicating the number of special figure 1 hold can be displayed in the hold icon display area 50d (FIG. 20 ( A)). As shown in FIG. 43D, the reserved icons HA include sun icons A to C (corresponding to a first reserved symbol), umbrella icons A and B (corresponding to a second reserved symbol), and a cloud icon. There are six types of hold icons HA.

  The sun icons A to C are reserved icons HA indicating the special figure 2 reserved number displayed in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode”, and the solar icon A is normally displayed. The sun icon A is displayed in yellow, the sun icon B is displayed in red, and the sun icon C is displayed in rainbow. The umbrella icons A and B are the hold icons HA displayed in the “revenge mode”, and the umbrella icon A is normally displayed. The umbrella icon A is displayed in blue, and the umbrella icon B is displayed in rainbow. Further, the cloud icon is a holding icon HA indicating the number of special figure 1 holding displayed in the “normal effect mode”, and is displayed in white.

  The effect RAM 124 is provided with a start winning command storage unit (not shown) for storing a start winning command determined by the game control microcomputer 101, and the effect control microcomputer 121 is stored in the start winning command storage unit. The hold icon HA can be displayed based on the start winning command. The start winning command stored in the start winning command storage unit is erased by performing the variable display of the special figure based on the suspension of the special figure 2 for which the start winning command is determined.

  Next, effects that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 in accordance with the start winning command determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the following effects in the “super RUSH mode”, the “RUSH mode”, and the “revenge mode”.

O. RUSH hold change effect This is a look-ahead effect in which the sun icon B and the sun icon C are displayed as the hold icons HA indicating the special figure 2 hold number in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode”. When the result of the jackpot pre-read determination is “losing”, it is easier to perform when the result is “big hit”, and thus it functions as an effect indicating that the possibility of performing the big hit game is high. In addition, the result of the special figure variation pattern prefetching determination is “variation of confrontation jackpot”, “variation of confrontation / resurrection jackpot”, “variation of confrontation / loss”, “variation of confrontation / resurrection loss”, “variation of conclusion jackpot”, “determination of jackpot variation” Because it may be performed in the case of "change", "settling / resurrection / failure loss change", it is a production that suggests that there is a possibility that the "reach-to-reach" or "settling-reach", which is the reach production, may be performed. Also works.

P. Revenge hold change effect This is a look-ahead effect in which the umbrella icon B is displayed as the hold icon HA indicating the number of special figure 2 holds in the “revenge mode”. When the result of the jackpot pre-read determination is “losing”, it is easier to perform when the result is “big hit”, and thus it functions as an effect indicating that the possibility of performing the big hit game is high.

Q. Normal countdown effect This is an effect that may be performed in the 97th to 99th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, and counts down the number of variable display of special figures until the “branch effect” is performed. It is a production. After that, since the “branch effect” is performed, it functions as an effect indicating that the “branch effect” is performed.

R. Special countdown effect This is an effect that may be performed in the 97th to 99th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode”, and is a special mode that is different from the “countdown effect” until the “branch effect” is performed. This is a look-ahead effect in which the number of times of variable display in the figure is counted down. After that, since the “branch effect” is performed, it functions as an effect indicating that the “branch effect” is performed. In addition, since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big hit”, it also functions as an effect indicating that there is a possibility that a big hit game will be performed. In addition, since it is performed when the "big hit announcement effect" is performed in the "branch effect" or the "resurrection effect C", it also functions as an effect indicating that the "big hit notification effect" is performed.

  Next, various effects executed in the “super RUSH mode”, the “RUSH mode”, and the “revenge mode” will be specifically described. First, the "RUSH hold change effect" will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “RUSH hold change effect” when the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode” are set. In the “RUSH hold change effect”, the possibility of executing “big hit game 3” is suggested.

  When the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode” are set, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets the holding icon selection table A shown in FIG. 43A, the holding icon selection table B shown in FIG. Alternatively, it is possible to determine the type of the reservation icon HA indicating the special figure 2 reservation number using the reservation icon selection table C shown in FIG.

  The reserved icon selection table A is used when the number of times of variable display of a special figure from the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode” is set to the first to 90th, and the reserved icon selection table B is “ When the number of times of variable display of a special figure from the super RUSH mode or the "RUSH mode" is set to the 91st to 100th times, or the variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" is set The start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” is determined after the 101st time (“judgment is a big hit by jackpot prefetch judgment” or “fall win” by fall prefetch judgment. Is determined), the hold icon selection table C is used after the “super RUSH mode” is set. From the 101st variable display count, the start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” is determined (judgment is a jackpot by the jackpot prefetching judgment, It is used in the case where it is determined that "fall winning" is determined in the prefetching determination). In the third embodiment, the type of the holding icon HA for the special figure 2 holding in which the start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, or “command 016” is determined is selected as the holding icon. Although the selection is performed using the table C, the selection may be performed using the hold icon selection table B.

  In the hold icon selection table A, since the number of times of variable display of a special figure after the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set is used for the first to 90th times, the game control microcomputer 101 executes the “command Only the seven types of start winning commands of “001” to “command 003”, “command 011”, “command 012”, “command 021”, and “command 022” are determined (see FIG. 31A). Therefore, in the hold icon selection table A, the type of the hold icon HA is selected based on these seven types of start winning commands. Specifically, when the start winning command is “command 001”, “command 002”, or “command 003”, the sun icon A is 50%, the sun icon B is 30%, and the sun icon C is 20%. Selected by percentage. When the start winning command is “command 011” or “command 012”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 60%, the sun icon B is selected at a rate of 40%, and the sun icon C is not selected. When the start winning command is “command 021” or “command 022”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 90%, the sun icon B is selected at a rate of 10%, and the sun icon C is not selected. Therefore, the big hit expectation increases in the order of the sun icon A <the sun icon B <the sun icon C.

  In the reserve icon selection table B, only the sun icon A is selected regardless of the type of the start winning command. Here, the reason why only the sun icon A is selected in the hold icon selection table B will be described. The hold icon selection table B is set when the number of times of variable display of a special figure is 91 to 100 times since “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set, or “super RUSH mode” is set. , The number of times the variable display of the special figure is 101 or more, and the start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” is determined (if “big hit” is determined by the jackpot prefetching determination, This is used in the case after the judgment or “falling win” is judged in the judgment or the fall pre-reading judgment). For example, when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is 98 times, the number of reserved special figure 2 is “4”. In the case of, the two special figure 2 reservations are not consumed until the 100th special figure variable display. That is, the two special figure 2 reservations may be digested in the “revenge mode” (see FIGS. 32C and 32D). Further, for example, when the number of times of the special figure 2 is “4” when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is determined to be “fall win” in the fall determination after the 101st time, the four special figure 2 reservations are performed. Is digested in the “revenge mode” (see FIG. 32A). Although details will be described later, in the “revenge mode”, a “revenge hold change effect” using the hold icon HA may be performed. In order to ensure that this “revenge hold change effect” is always performed in the same situation, the sun icon A is displayed for all special figure 2 holds that may be digested in the “revenge mode”. Has become. In the third embodiment, the sun icon A is always selected by the hold icon selection table B. However, if the sun icon A is easier to select than the hold icon selection table A or the hold icon selection table C, the sun icon A The icons B and C may be selected.

  In the hold icon selection table C, since the number of times of variable display of a special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is used after the 101st time, the game control microcomputer 101 sets “command 001”, “command 006” , "Command 007", "command 016", "command 021", and "command 022" are determined (see FIG. 31B). Therefore, in the hold icon selection table C, the type of the hold icon HA is selected based on these six types of start winning commands. Specifically, when the start winning command is “command 001”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 70%, the sun icon B is selected at a rate of 20%, and the sun icon C is selected at a rate of 10%. When the start winning command is “command 006”, “command 007”, or “command 016”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 80%, the sun icon B is selected at a rate of 20%, and the sun icon C is selected at a rate of 20%. Not selected. When the start winning command is “command 021” or “command 022”, the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 90%, the sun icon B is selected at a rate of 10%, and the sun icon C is not selected. Therefore, the big hit expectation increases in the order of the sun icon A <the sun icon B <the sun icon C. It should be noted that the sun icon B and the sun icon C are more difficult to select in the hold icon selection table C than in the hold icon selection table A.

  Here, the reason why the sun icon B and the sun icon C are harder to be selected in the hold icon selection table C than in the hold icon selection table A will be described. The hold icon selection table A is used when the number of times of variable display of a special figure is from the first to 90 times since the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode” is set. When the number of times the variable figure of the special figure is displayed from the first time to the 90th time after the “RUSH mode” is set, the “reach reach” is performed regardless of the result of the fall determination (see FIG. 30A). Even if it is determined to be "falling win" and the "reach reach" is lost, the "super RUSH mode" continues (see FIG. 32 (C)). On the other hand, the hold icon selection table C is used when the number of times of variable display of a special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is 101 or more times. When the number of times of variable display shown in the figure is 101 or more, the “reach reach” is performed only when it is determined that the “big hit” is determined by the jackpot determination and when the “fall win” is determined by the fall determination ( FIG. 30 (C)). That is, when the “reach reach” is performed, there is a choice between a big hit and a shift to the big hit production mode or a loss and a shift to the “revenge mode” (FIG. 32A, FIG. 32 (B)). Therefore, if the number of times of variable display of a special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is 101 or more, even if it is determined that “big hit” in the jackpot pre-reading determination, the selection of the sun icon B and the sun icon C is performed. After the "reach reach", it is difficult to determine whether to make a big hit and shift to the big hit production mode or lose and make a shift to the "revenge mode".

  The selection ratio for selecting the type of the hold icon HA can be changed as appropriate.

  The hold icon display area 50d in which the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed includes a first display area 50d1, a second display area 50d2, a third display area 50d3, and a fourth display area 50d4. Thus, the hold icon HA is displayed in each of the display areas 50d1, 50d2, 50d3, and 50d4. When the special figure 2 reservation number is “1”, the reservation icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special figure 2 reservation number is “2”, the first display area 50d1 and the second display area are displayed. When the reserved icon HA is displayed in the area 50d2 and the special figure 2 reserved number is "3", the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2, and the third display area 50d3. On the other hand, when the special figure 2 suspension number is “4”, the suspension icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2, the third display area 50d3, and the fourth display area 50d4. The icon display area 50e (see FIG. 20A) is provided on the right side of the reserved icon display area 50d, and is displayed in the first display area 50d1 in response to the start of the special figure variation effect. The held icon HA is displayed as the icon TA in the icon display area 50e.

  FIG. 44 (A) is displayed when the game ball has won the second starting port 12 when the number of times the variable display of the special figure has been changed from the first time to the 90th time since the “super RUSH mode” was set. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing types of hold icons HA. When the game ball wins in the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “1”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is selected by the reservation icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins in the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “2”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is also selected by the reservation icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes “3”, the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is also selected by the reservation icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “4”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is also selected by the reservation icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C is displayed. As described above, when the number of times of variable display of a special figure is set to the first to 90th times after the “super RUSH mode” is set, as the holding icon HA, the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C are displayed. Both are displayed. In other words, since the upper limit of the number of special figure 2 reservations is "4", the maximum number of special figure 2 reservations corresponding to the second to 94th special figure variable display is the sunshine icon HA, Any one of the icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed.

  FIG. 44 (B) shows that the game ball wins the second starting port 12 when the number of times the variable display of the special figure is 91 to 100 times since the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode” is set. It is a figure showing the kind of hold icon HA displayed when it did. When the game ball wins in the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “1”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. The type of the reserved icon HA is selected by the reserved icon selection table B. As described above, since only the sun icon A is selected in the reservation icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins in the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “2”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of the reserved icon HA is also selected by the reserved icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes “3”, the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the reserved icon HA is also selected by the reserved icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “4”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the reserved icon HA is also selected by the reserved icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. As described above, when the number of times of variable display of a special figure is 91 to 100 since the “super RUSH mode” is set, only the sun icon A is displayed as the hold icon HA. In other words, since the upper limit of the number of special figure 2 reservations is “4”, the maximum number of special figure 2 reservations corresponding to the 92nd to 104th special figure variable display is the sunshine icon HA, Only the icon A will be displayed.

    FIG. 44 (C) shows that the number of variable display of the special figure from the 101st time after the “super RUSH mode” is set is “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016”. It is a figure showing the kind of the hold icon HA displayed when a game ball has won the second starting port 12 until the start winning command is determined. When the game ball wins in the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “1”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is selected by the reservation icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins in the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “2”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is selected by the reservation icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes “3”, the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is also selected by the reservation icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “4”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the reservation icon HA is also selected by the reservation icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed. In this way, the number of variable display of a special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is 101, and the start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” is changed. In the case of being determined, all of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C are displayed as the hold icon HA. In other words, at the maximum, the number of times the variable display of the special figure is the 102nd time is from the special figure 2 hold to the big hit determination to be "big hit" or to the fall determination to be "fall winning". Any of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed as the holding icon HA until the special figure 2 is held.

  FIG. 44D shows that the number of times of variable display of a special figure after the “super RUSH mode” is set is 101 times or more and “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016”. It is a figure showing the kind of hold icon HA displayed when a game ball has won the second starting port 12 after the start winning command is determined. Here, it is assumed that the current special figure 2 reservation number is “1”, and the sun icon A is displayed in the first display area 50d1. When the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes “2”, a reservation icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d3. The type of the reserved icon HA is selected by the reserved icon selection table B. As described above, since only the sun icon A is selected in the reservation icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes “3”, the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of the reserved icon HA is also selected by the reserved icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thereafter, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the reserved number of special figure 2 becomes “4”, the reserved icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of the reserved icon HA is also selected by the reserved icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. In this manner, the number of times the variable figure of the special figure is displayed after the “super RUSH mode” is set to 101 or more and the start winning command of “command 001”, “command 006”, “command 007”, and “command 016” Is determined, only the sun icon A is displayed as the hold icon HA. That is, since the upper limit of the number of reserved special figure 2 is "4", the special figure which is determined to be "big hit" in the jackpot determination or "fall winning" in the fall determination at the maximum. In the four special figure 2 reservations after the 2 reservations, only the sun icon A is displayed as the reservation icon HA.

  Next, the “revenge hold change effect” will be specifically described. When the “revenge mode” is set, the effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the “revenge hold change effect” by using the hold icon HA indicating the special figure 2 hold number. In the “revenge pending change effect”, execution of “big hit game 3” is suggested.

  When the “revenge mode” is set, the effect control microcomputer 121 changes the hold icon HA indicating the special figure 2 hold number to the same as when the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” is set. It can be displayed in the hold icon display area 50d (see FIG. 20A).

  Further, the effect control microcomputer 121 changes the “super RUSH mode” or the “RUSH mode” to the “revenge mode” in response to the shift from the “super RUSH mode” to the “revenge mode”. A can be changed to umbrella icon A or umbrella icon B. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon A or the umbrella icon B using the umbrella icon selection table shown in FIG. At the time of selection, the start winning command stored in the start winning command storage unit is referred to. Specifically, when the start winning command for which the sun icon A is displayed is “command 017” (when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “loss”), the umbrella icon A is 100%. When the command is “command 008” (when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big hit”), the umbrella icon A is selected at a rate of 30% and the umbrella icon B is selected at a rate of 70%. In the third embodiment, when the shift to the “revenge mode” is performed by the end of the 100th variable display of the special figure in the time reduction state (corresponding to the first end condition), the “fall winning” is determined in the fall determination. Is determined (corresponding to the second end condition), the probability that the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon B is the same as in the case where the mode shifts to the “revenge mode”, but may be different. Further, the selection ratio can be appropriately changed.

  FIGS. 46 (A) and 46 (B) are diagrams showing the hold icon HA when shifting to the “revenge mode”. The variable display of the last special figure in the "super RUSH mode" or the "RUSH mode" (variable display of the 100th special figure or variable display of the special figure determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination) ends. Then, the state shifts to the “revenge mode” which is a non-time saving state. At this time, as shown in FIG. 46A, assuming that the sun icon A is displayed in the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4, when the change to the umbrella icon A is selected. When the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon A while the change to the umbrella icon B is selected, the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon B. FIG. 46B is a diagram illustrating a case where it is selected to change to the umbrella icon B only for the sun icon A displayed in the third display area 50d3.

  Next, the “normal countdown effect” and the “special countdown effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute “normal countdown effect” or “special countdown effect” in the 97th to 99th special figure fluctuation effects in the “super RUSH mode” regardless of the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether to execute the “normal countdown effect” or the “special countdown effect” by using the countdown selection table shown in FIG. At the time of the selection, the result of the pre-reading determination with respect to the suspension of the special figure 2 corresponding to the 100th variable display of the special figure is referred to. In the third embodiment, it is possible to select the “special countdown effect” only when the result of the jackpot pre-reading determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th variable display of the special figure is “big hit”. Has become. Specifically, when the start winning command is “command 004”, “normal countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 70%, and “special countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 30%. When the start winning command is “command 005”, “normal countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 30%, and “special countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 70%. If the start winning command is “command 013”, “command 014”, or “command 015”, “normal countdown effect” is selected at a rate of 100%. In addition, at the start of the 97th special figure change effect, if the special figure 2 variable display of the special figure does not correspond to the 100th special figure 2 hold, the “normal countdown effect” is performed at a rate of 100%. select. Note that the selection ratio of the countdown selection table illustrated in FIG. 45B can be changed as appropriate.

  FIGS. 47 (A) to 47 (C) are diagrams illustrating a state where a “normal countdown effect” is performed. When the “normal fluctuation” is started in the 97th special figure fluctuation production in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 47 (A), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are fluctuation-displayed on the display unit 50a. At the same time, a count image G21a (numerical image of “3”) indicating the variable number of times of displaying the special figure up to “branch effect” is displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when the “normal fluctuation” is started in the 98th special figure fluctuation production in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 47 (B), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 fluctuate on the display unit 50a. At the same time, a count image G21b (numerical image of “2”) is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when “normal fluctuation” is started in the 99th special figure fluctuation production in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 47 (C), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 fluctuate on the display unit 50a. At the same time, a count image G21c (numerical image of “1”) is displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. After that, a “branch effect” is performed in response to the start of the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode” (see FIG. 37A). In the “branch effect” or the “resurrection effect C” after the “branch effect”, the “big hit announcement effect” in which the big hit suggestion image G15 is displayed is performed (see FIGS. 37B and 38B). ) And when the "big hit announcement effect" is not performed (see FIGS. 37 (C), 38 (C) and 38 (D)).

  FIGS. 48 (A) to 48 (C) are diagrams illustrating a state in which a “countdown effect” in effect mode B is performed. When the “normal fluctuation” is started in the 97th special figure fluctuation production in the “super RUSH mode”, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a as shown in FIG. At the same time, a count image G21a and a pseudo-big hit suggestion image G15g, which is a translucent image of the big hit suggestion image G15, are displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when the “normal fluctuation” is started in the 98th special figure fluctuation production in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 48B, the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 fluctuate on the display unit 50a. At the same time, the count image G21b and the pseudo-big hit suggestion image G15g are displayed at the center of the display unit 50a. Thereafter, when “normal fluctuation” is started in the 99th special figure fluctuation production in the “super RUSH mode”, as shown in FIG. 48 (C), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 fluctuate on the display unit 50a. While displaying, the count image G21c and the pseudo-big hit suggestion image G15g are displayed in the center of the display unit 50a. After that, a “branch effect” is performed in response to the start of the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode” (see FIG. 37A). In the “branch effect” or the “resurrection effect C” after the “branch effect”, the “big hit announcement effect” in which the big hit suggestion image G15 is displayed is always performed (see FIGS. 37 (B) and 38 (B)). . Therefore, the display of the pseudo jackpot suggestion image G15g functions as an effect indicating that a “big hit notification effect” in which the big hit suggestion image G15 is displayed is performed.

  Next, the relationship between the "RUSH hold change effect" and the "revenge hold change effect" will be described. In the “RUSH hold change effect”, the sun icon B or the sun icon C may be displayed even if the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big hit” or “losing” (see FIG. 45). On the other hand, in the “revenge hold change effect”, the umbrella icon B is displayed only when the result of the jackpot prefetch determination is “big hit”. That is, the jackpot expectation differs between the “RUSH hold change effect” and the “revenge hold change effect”. In the third embodiment, the “revenge hold change effect” has a higher jackpot expectation than the “RUSH hold change effect”. Therefore, it can be said that the “RUSH hold change effect” has a relatively low expectation for the jackpot game being performed, and the “revenge hold change effect” has a relatively high expectation for the jackpot game being performed.

  Next, in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode”, the “revenge mode change effect” in the “revenge mode” which is shifted by the end of the 100th special figure change effect, and the fall determination in the “super RUSH mode” The relationship between the “revenge mode change effect” and the “revenge hold change effect” in the “revenge mode” that has been shifted by being determined to be “fall win” will be described. In both the former “revenge mode” and the latter “revenge mode”, the probability that the umbrella icon B is displayed in the “revenge hold change effect” is the same. Therefore, it can be said that the expectation for the “revenge pending change effect” is the same regardless of the situation in which the “revenge mode” is entered.

  Next, the relationship between “normal countdown effect”, “special countdown effect”, and “big hit announcement effect” will be described. The "normal countdown effect" and the "special countdown effect" may be performed before the start of the "branch effect", but when the "normal countdown effect" is performed, the "branch effect" or the "resurrection effect C" , There are times when the "big hit announcement effect" is performed and times when it is not performed. On the other hand, when the "special countdown effect" is performed, the "big hit effect" in the "branch effect" or the "resurrection effect C" Is always done. That is, the probability that the “big hit announcement effect” is subsequently executed differs between the case where the “normal countdown effect” is performed and the case where the “special countdown effect” is performed. In the third embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the “special countdown effect” than after the “normal countdown effect”. Therefore, it can be said that the “normal countdown effect” has a relatively low expectation for the “big hit announcement effect”, and the “special countdown effect” has a relatively high expectation for the “big hit announcement effect”.

  Next, a "RUSH hold change effect" performed in the first to 100th special figure change effects in the "super RUSH mode" and a "RUSH hold change effect performed in the 101th and subsequent special figure change effects in the" super RUSH mode " Change effect "will be described. The “RUSH hold change effect” may be performed based on the result of the jackpot pre-reading determination or the determination of “fall winning” in the fall pre-reading determination. However, the first to 100th times in the “super RUSH mode” In the special figure fluctuation effect, the "RUSH hold change effect" is performed without performing the fall-ahead look-ahead determination, while in the special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st time in the "super RUSH mode", If it is determined to be "fall win", "RUSH hold change effect" is performed. In other words, the probability that the “RUSH hold change effect” based on the result of the fall-ahead look-ahead determination is performed in the first to 100th special figure change effects in the “super RUSH mode”, and the 101th and subsequent special maps in the “super RUSH mode” The probability of performing the “RUSH hold change effect” based on the result of the fall-ahead look-ahead determination in the variable effect is different. In the third embodiment, the results of the fall-ahead look-ahead determination are more significant in the special figure variation production of the 101st and subsequent times in the “super RUSH mode” than in the first to 100th special figure variation production in the “super RUSH mode”. The execution probability of the “RUSH hold change effect” is higher. Therefore, the "RUSH hold change effect" performed in the first to 100th special figure change effects in the "super RUSH mode" has relatively low anxiety about being determined to be "fall win" in the fall determination. It can be said that the "RUSH hold change effect" performed in the special figure change effect after the 101st time in the "super RUSH mode" has relatively high anxiety about being determined to be "fall win" in the fall determination. I can say.

<Effect of Third Embodiment>
Hereinafter, effects of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the third embodiment will be described.

(20) There is a possibility that a jackpot game will be played after shifting to the “revenge mode”, which is a non-time saving state, with respect to the special figure 2 reservation generated in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode” that are the time saving states. Because a revenge hold change effect that is high may be performed, even if the game shifts to the revenge mode, it is possible to give a sense of expectation for the revenge hold change effect, It is possible to increase.

(21) When the special figure 2 suspension generated in the “super RUSH mode” or “RUSH mode” which is a time saving state is digested after shifting to the “revenge mode” which is a non-time saving state, the special figure 2 suspension is performed. On the other hand, since the “RUSH hold change effect” is not performed, the “revenge mode” can always be performed in the same situation, and the effect of the “revenge mode” effect can be prevented from being reduced.

(22) Since the sun icon B or the sun icon C is displayed in the “RUSH hold change effect” and the umbrella icon B is displayed in the “revenge hold change effect,” the “RUSH hold change effect” and the “revenge hold change effect” It is possible to make the production mode different between the above, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(23) In the "RUSH hold change effect", the umbrella icon B displayed in the "revenge hold change effect" is not displayed, so that the "revenge hold change effect" can be positioned as a special effect, which enhances the interest of the game. It is possible.

(24) Since the jackpot expectation is higher when the “Revenge hold change effect” is performed than when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed, the “Revenge hold change effect” is regarded as a valuable effect. It can be positioned, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(25) Falling in the non-time saving state after the variable display of the 100th special figure in the “super-RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode” in the time saving state and in the “super RUSH mode” in the time saving state Since the execution probability of the "revenge hold change effect" in the "revenge mode" is the same as when the non-time saving state is determined by determining that it is "fall win", the degree of expectation for the "revenge hold change effect" is It can be kept unchanged, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(26) When the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time-saving state, approaches, the “normal countdown effect” or “special countdown effect” is performed. The end timing of the “mode” can be easily understood, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

(27) When the jackpot suggestion image G15 suggesting the execution of the "big hit game 3" is displayed in the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in which the "super RUSH mode" which is the time saving state may end, the "special" Since a "countdown effect" may be performed, it is possible to expect that "big hit game 3" is performed by the "special countdown effect", and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(28) In the "super RUSH mode" which is the high probability state, the number of times the variable display of the special figure is switched to the normal probability state by the fall determination performed in the period of 1 to 100 times, and the case of the variable display of the special figure When the number of times is switched to the normal probability state by the fall determination performed in the period after the 101st time, the probability of performing the “RUSH hold change effect” based on the fall-ahead look-ahead determination is different. It is possible to change anxiety about switching to the normal probability state when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(29) During the period after the 101st variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode”, which is the high probability state, if it is determined that the “big hit” is determined by the jackpot prefetching determination, the “reach reach” is determined. Since the execution of the "RUSH hold change effect" indicating the execution is restricted, the "RUSH hold change effect" causes the game to shift to the jackpot effect mode in which the jackpot game is executed or to the "revenge mode" which is a normal probability state. It is possible to make it difficult to understand whether to play, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

<Modifications of Basic Embodiment, First Embodiment, Second Embodiment, and Third Embodiment>
Hereinafter, modifications of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 described in the basic embodiment, the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment will be described. Of course, the configurations according to the modified examples may be appropriately combined with each other. In addition, the technical features in the above-described embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately deleted unless described as essential in the present specification.

  In the first embodiment, when the number of times of variable display of a special figure in the “super RUSH mode” is from the first time to the 99th time, the time saving state is continued even if it is determined that “fall win” in the fall determination. However, the time saving state may be ended. In this case, the special figure 2 change pattern is determined using the special figure 2 change pattern determination table C as shown in FIG. If it is determined that the game is a “fall win”, it is preferable that a reach effect is performed.

  In the first embodiment, as the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table used in the “super RUSH mode”, the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table A used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is the first to 99 times. A special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table B for when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is 100 times, and a special figure 2 fluctuation pattern determination table C for when the number of times of variable display of the special figure is 101 times or more. Although three types are used, one type or four or more types may be used.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the high probability state is switched to the normal probability state when it is determined in the fall determination that "fall win", but when the large hit determination is determined to be "big hit". May be switched. In this case, it is preferable to shorten the time of the jackpot game. For example, the round game in the jackpot game is composed of two times, and the first big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second per round game. You may make it.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the “confrontation reach” is set to the production content in which the main character and the enemy character battle, and the “conclusion reach” is set to the production content in which the main character and the strong enemy character battle, and the production contents are made different. However, the same production content may be used for the “reach reach” and the “reach reach”.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the same effect contents using the normal button 40 are used for the “resurrection effect A” and the “resurrection effect B”, but the “resurrection effect A” and the “resurrection effect B” The production contents may be different. For example, in “Resurrection effect A”, the effect contents may be different from the effect contents using the normal button 40, and in “Resurrection effect B”, the effect contents may be different from the effect contents using the special button 41.

  In addition, in the second embodiment, the same effect content of performing the fade-in display of the button images G12a and G12b is used for the “resurrection fanning effect A” and the “resurrection fanning effect B”. The production content may be different for “Resurrection production B”. For example, in the case of "Resurrection Induction Effect A", the effect content is to perform the fade-in display of the button images G12a and G12b, and in the case of "Resurrection Induction Effect B", the effect content is to perform the fade-in display of only the button image G12a. You may let it.

  Further, in the second embodiment, when the "resurrection effect B" is performed, the "resurrection effect B" is always performed. However, even when the "resurrection effect B" is performed, the "resurrection effect B" is performed. The effect B "may not be performed. In this case, it is preferable to set so that the probability that “Resurrection effect B” is performed after “Resurrection effect B” is higher than the probability that “Resurrection effect A” is performed after “Resurrection effect A”.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the time saving state is more easily completed when the game is lost after the “reach reach” than when the game is lost after the “reach reach”. The time-saving state may be more easily terminated when the game is lost after the “reach reach” than when the game is lost.

  In the second embodiment, the time saving state is more easily completed when the loss is made after the “resurrection effect B” than when the loss is made after the “resurrection effect A”. The time-saving state may be more easily terminated when a loss occurs after the “resurrection effect A” than when a loss occurs after the “B”.

  Also, in the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher for the probability that “Resurrection effect B” is performed after “Resurrection effect B” than for the probability that “Resurrection effect A” is performed after “Resurrection effect A”. However, the probability that “Resurrection effect A” will be performed after “Resurrection effect A” will be higher than the probability that “Resurrection effect B” will be performed after “Resurrection effect B” May be.

  Further, in the second embodiment, in the “resurrection effect A” or the “resurrection effect B”, there are times when execution of “big hit game 3” is suggested and times when it is not suggested. Or "Resurrection effect B", it may always be suggested to execute "Big hit game 3". In this case, when "Resurrection effect A" or "Resurrection effect B" is performed, "Big hit game 3" is always performed. Therefore, execution of "Resurrection effect A" or "Resurrection effect B" results in "Big hit game 3". Execution can be suggested, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the execution of “Resurrection Induction Effect A” is selected based on the effect mode of “Serif Notice”, but the execution of “Resurrection Induction Effect A” is performed based on other conditions. May be selected. For example, the execution of “Resurrection Induction A” may be selected by referring only to the special figure 2 change pattern, or the “Resurrection Induction A” may be selected by referring to a notice effect other than “Serif notice”. Execution may be selected.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the probability that “Resurrection effect B” is performed after the loss is suggested in “Settlement reach” is higher than the probability that “Resurrection effect A” is performed after the loss is suggested in “Confrontation reach”. Has a higher execution probability, but the "resurrection effect A" after the loss is suggested in "confrontation reach" than the probability of "resurrection effect B" being performed after the loss is suggested in the "reach effect". May be set to have a higher execution probability.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the “final reach” is performed only when it is determined that the “fall has been won” in the fall determination, but it is determined that the “fall has not been won” in the fall determination. In this case, the “reach reach” may be performed.

  Further, in the second embodiment, when the fall determination is determined to be “winning” in the fall determination, the probability that “reach reach” is performed when the fall determination is “winning” is determined. Although the probability of the `` settle reach '' is higher, the execution probability is higher, but when the fall determination is determined to be `` fall win '', the fall determination When it is determined that the game is a “fall win”, the execution probability may be higher when the “reach reach” is performed.

  In the third embodiment, the “RUSH hold change effect” in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode” is a prefetch effect using the hold icon HA, but may be a prefetch effect without the hold icon HA. . For example, a strong enemy character may be displayed on the display unit 50a. Further, the "revenge hold change effect" in the "revenge mode" is a prefetch effect using the hold icon HA, but may be a prefetch effect without the hold icon HA. For example, the main character may be displayed on the display unit 50a.

  In the third embodiment, the sun icon B and the sun icon C are displayed in the “RUSH hold change effect”, and the umbrella icon B is displayed in the “revenge hold change effect”, and the “RUSH hold change effect” is displayed. Although the effect form is different between “revenge pending change effect”, the same effect form may be used. For example, the umbrella icon B may be displayed in either the “RUSH hold change effect” or the “revenge hold change effect”.

  In the third embodiment, the jackpot expectation degree is higher when the “Revenge hold change effect” is performed than when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed. The big hit expectation may be higher when the “RUSH hold change effect” is performed than when the “effect” is performed.

  In the third embodiment, the sun icons A to C are displayed in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode”, and the umbrella icons A and B are displayed in the “revenge mode”. , The hold icon HA differs between the “RUSH mode” and the “revenge mode”, but the same hold icon HA may be displayed. For example, the sun icons A to C may be displayed in either the “super RUSH mode”, the “RUSH mode” or the “revenge mode”.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the “revenge hold change effect” in the “revenge mode” shifted by the end of the 100th special figure fluctuation effect in the “super RUSH mode” and the “RUSH mode”, and the “super RUSH mode” In the "revenge mode change" in the "revenge mode" transitioned by being determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination in the, the probability that the umbrella icon B is displayed is the same, but with a different probability The umbrella icon B may be displayed.

  In the third embodiment, the effect contents of "normal countdown effect" and "special countdown effect" are effect contents for counting the number of special figure fluctuation effects, but may be other effect contents.

  Further, in the third embodiment, the "special countdown effect" is executed only when the result of the jackpot pre-reading determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th change of the special figure is "big hit". However, even if the result of the jackpot prefetching determination for the special figure 2 hold, in which the number of times of variable display of the special figure is the 100th, is “losing”, the “special countdown production” is It may be executed.

  In the third embodiment, the “RUSH hold” based on the result of the fall-ahead look-ahead determination is performed more in the special figure variation production after the 101st than in the first to 100th special figure variation production in the “super RUSH mode”. Although the execution probability of the "change effect" is increased, the result of the fall-ahead look-ahead determination is greater in the first to 100th special figure change effects than in the 101th and subsequent special figure change effects in the "super RUSH mode". The execution probability of the “RUSH hold change effect” based on the above may be increased.

  Further, in the third embodiment, in the special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st special figure fluctuation production in the “super RUSH mode”, the “big hit” is determined in the jackpot pre-reading determination in the special figure fluctuation production after the 101st time. Although the execution probability of the “RUSH hold change effect” when it is determined is high, the first to 100th special figure change effects in the “super RUSH mode” are the first to 100th special figure change effects. The execution probability of the “RUSH hold change effect” when the hit determination is “big hit” in the jackpot prefetch determination may be higher.

  In the basic embodiment, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are variably displayed substantially in synchronization with the special figure variable display. Alternatively, it may be configured with a design other than three, such as two. For example, two symbols which are divided into the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 may be provided. Further, one common symbol may be provided between the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. In these cases, the display may be displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50, and the sub-control board 120 may perform the control. Further, an LED device for displaying a symbol may be provided in an area other than the game area 6 of the game board 1. In this case, the control of the LED device may be performed by the main control board 100 or the sub control board 120.

  Further, in the basic embodiment, the special figure 2 determination processing is preferentially performed, but the special figure 1 determination processing may be preferentially performed. Further, the special figure determination process may be performed on the special figure 1 related random number and the special figure 2 related random number in the order stored in the hold storage unit.

  In the basic embodiment, the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are not performed in parallel, but the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed in parallel. It may be configured as follows.

  Further, in the basic embodiment, the main control board 100 performs the basic control related to the progress of the game, and the sub-control board 120 performs the basic control related to the progress of the effect according to the progress of the game (control of the game). Although the control of the game and the control of the effect are performed on different substrates as in the case of performing, the configuration may be such that the control is performed on one substrate. In this case, the image control board 140 may be included in the one board, or may be provided separately from the one board.

  Further, the gaming machine of the present invention can be applied to other ball-and-ball gaming machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball gaming machine.
