Among the game balls that have been launched into the game area YBa, the game balls that have not entered any of the winning openings 15, 16, 18, and 21 are discharged from the out port 22 to the outside of the machine.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with an accessory unit 23 for production.
As shown in FIG. 3, the accessory unit 23 includes a base portion 24 fixed to the game board YB. The accessory unit 23 includes a stepping motor SM as an actuator fixed to the base portion 24. The accessory unit 23 includes a transmission mechanism portion 25 that converts the rotational movement around the output shaft generated by the stepping motor SM into a movement in a predetermined direction and transmits the movement. The accessory unit 23 includes a movable portion 26 that operates by receiving a driving force from the transmission mechanism portion 25. In the present embodiment, the movable portion 26 is a movable portion for effect that is configured to perform a predetermined operation.

The movable portion 26 includes a first movable portion 27 which is supported so as to be operable by receiving a driving force from the transmission mechanism portion 25. The first movable portion 27 is a tubular component and has a housing space 27a inside. The movable portion 26 includes a second movable portion 28 that is supported so as to be movable relative to the first movable portion 27. The second movable portion 28 is configured to be operable in a state of being accommodated in the accommodation space 27a of the first movable portion 27 and in a state of protruding from the first movable portion 27. That is, the second movable portion 28 can be retracted from the first movable portion 27. When the second movable portion 28 is housed in the housing space 27a, it is invisible or difficult for the player to see.

In the following description, the state in which the second movable portion 28 projects with respect to the first movable portion 27 is referred to as the “normal form” of the movable portion 26. On the other hand, a state in which the second movable portion 28 is housed in the first movable portion 27 is referred to as a “specific form” of the movable portion 26. That is, the movable part 26 can be changed (deformed) between a specific form and a normal form. In the present embodiment, the normal form corresponds to the first form, and the specific form corresponds to the second form.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the movable portion 26 is a production accessory that imitates "Spear of Vermilion" as a whole. Specifically, the first movable portion 27 has a shape simulating about half of the ears of the vermilion spear on the base end side. The second movable portion 28 has a shape simulating about half of the tip of the vermilion spear. Therefore, when the movable portion 26 is in the normal form, the entire movable portion 26 can be recognized by the player as a vermilion spike. On the other hand, when the movable portion 26 has a specific shape, the movable portion 26 alone can be recognized by the player as only the base end side of the vermilion spears. As will be described later in detail, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it may be possible to recognize one vermilion spear by the movable portion 26 that is a specific form and the image displayed on the effect display device EH. is there.

The movable part 26 of the specific form is smaller than the movable part 26 of the normal form because the second movable part 28 is housed in the first movable part 27, and the volume occupying the space is also smaller. In addition, the size of the movable part 26 of the specific form is smaller than that of the movable part 26 of the normal form when viewed from the player, that is, the projected area of the display unit EHa on the surface Sf is smaller. That is, the movable part 26 of the specific form has a shape like the movable part 26 of the normal form, but lacking the second movable part 28.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the accessory unit 23 converts and transmits the rotational movement generated by the stepping motor SM by the transmission mechanism unit 25 to thereby provide the original position P0, the first effect position P1, and the second effect position P1. The movable portion 26 is configured to be displaceable to the effect position P2 and the third effect position P3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the original position P0 of the movable portion 26 is set to a position where the movable portion 26 extends in the up-down direction at the right edge portion of the effect display device EH (display portion EHa). As shown in FIG. 5A, when the movable portion 26 is at the original position P0, the movable portion 26 is separated from the front surface Sf of the effect display device EH to the front, and the movable portion 26 and the front surface Sf are separated from each other. Are parallel (substantially parallel) to each other.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first effect position P1 of the movable portion 26 is set to the left of the original position P0, at a position where the movable portion 26 extends in the vertical direction. The accessory unit 23 is configured such that the movable portion 26 can be displaced between the original position P0 and the first effect position P1 by applying a driving force of the stepping motor SM via the transmission mechanism portion 25.

As shown in FIG. 5( a ), the movable portion 26 moves from the surface Sf of the effect display device EH during the displacement between the original position P0 and the first effect position P1 and at the first effect position P1. The movable portion 26 and the surface Sf are spaced apart in the front direction and are parallel (substantially parallel) to each other. In the following description, of the directions along the surface Sf of the display unit EHa, the left-right direction is referred to as the first direction D1a.

As shown in FIG. 3, the second effect position P2 of the movable portion 26 is centered on the first axis Z1 extending along the front-rear direction at the base end portion of the movable portion 26 (first movable portion 27). The movable portion 26 is set at a position rotated leftward from the first effect position P1. In the accessory unit 23, the movable portion 26 rotates about the first axis Z1 by applying the driving force of the stepping motor SM via the transmission mechanism portion 25, and the first effect position P1 and the second effect position P2 are generated. It is configured so that it can be displaced between.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the movable portion 26 is on the surface of the effect display device EH while it is displaced between the first effect position P1 and the second effect position P2 and when it is in the second effect position P2. The movable portion 26 and the surface Sf are spaced apart from Sf forward and are parallel (substantially parallel) to each other. In the following description, of the directions along the surface Sf of the display unit EHa, the rotation direction around the first axis Z1 is referred to as the first direction D1b.

As shown in FIG. 4, the third effect position P3 of the movable portion 26 is centered around the second axis Z2 extending in the up-down direction, and the movable portion 26 moves from the second effect position P2 toward the display portion EHa. It is set to the rotated position. In the accessory unit 23, the movable portion 26 rotates about the second axis Z2 by applying the driving force of the stepping motor SM via the transmission mechanism portion 25, and the second effect position P2 and the third effect position P3 are generated. It is configured so that it can be displaced between.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the movable section 26 moves from the second effect position P2 to the third effect position P3, with respect to the surface Sf of the display unit EHa or the virtual plane Sfa including the surface Sf. It is configured to have an inclined posture (hereinafter, referred to as a specific posture). In the following description, of the directions intersecting the surface Sf (virtual plane Sfa) of the display unit EHa, the rotation direction around the second axis Z2 is referred to as the second direction D2.

Here, when the movable part 26 is in the third effect position P3, or when operating between the effect positions P2 and P3, the actual extending direction D3 of the movable part 26 intersects the virtual plane Sfa. ing. In this case, the angle θ formed by the extending direction D3 of the movable portion 26 and the virtual plane Sfa becomes larger as the movable portion 26 is closer to the third effect position P3, and when the movable portion 26 is at the third effect position P3. The maximum angle is θmax. The maximum angle θmax in the present embodiment is an angle less than 90 degrees.

Further, in the accessory unit 23, when the stepping motor SM continues to rotate in the first direction, the movable portion 26 operates in the order of the original position P0, the first effect position P1, the second effect position P2, and the third effect position P3. It is configured to (displace). Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5A, the accessory unit 23 is configured to maintain the normal form when the movable portion 26 is displaced within the range of the positions P0 to P2 as the outward path. ing. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5B, when the movable part 26 is displaced from the second effect position P2 to the third effect position P3, the accessory unit 23 is gradually moved to the first position in accordance with the displacement. The second movable portion 28 is housed in the first movable portion 27 (accommodation space 27a) and is configured to have a specific form before reaching the third effect position P3. That is, when the movable portion 26 is in the specific posture, the movable portion 26 changes to the specific shape as the second movable portion 28 is displaced relative to the first movable portion 27. Also, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be displaced toward the first movable portion 27 so that the separation distance between the surface Sf of the display portion EHa and the second movable portion 28 does not become less than the predetermined distance. I can say.

Thus, in the present embodiment, when the movable part 26 changes from the normal form (first form) to the specific form (second form), the position of the second movable part 28 of the movable part 26 is changed to the second movable part. It is adapted to change relative to the first movable part 27 different from 28. In particular, when the movable part 26 is displaced from the second effect position P2 to the third effect position P3, the position of the second movable part 28 is in the direction in which the first movable part 27 is, that is, the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. Is displaced in the direction away from. In the present embodiment, the second movable portion 28 corresponds to a specific portion, and the first movable portion 27 corresponds to a portion different from the specific portion.

On the other hand, in the accessory unit 23, when the stepping motor SM continues to rotate in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the third effect position P3→the second effect position P2→the first effect position P1→the original position. The movable portion 26 is configured to move (displace) in the order of P0. Here, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5B, when the movable part 26 is displaced from the third effect position P3 to the second effect position P2, the accessory unit 23 is gradually moved along with the displacement. The second movable portion 28 is configured to be in a normal form by protruding from the first movable portion 27 and reaching the second effect position P2. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5A, the movable portion 26 is configured to maintain the normal form when it is displaced in the range of the positions P0 to P2 as the return path.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of probability states as states in which the probability of winning the big hit in the internal lottery (big hit lottery) (hereinafter referred to as the big hit probability) is different. The plurality of stochastic states include a low-probability state and a high-probability state having a higher jackpot probability than the low-probability state. The high-probability state is an advantageous state for the player because the possibility of winning the big hit lottery increases. The high-probability state is a so-called “probability change state (probability change state)”.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a plurality of ball entry rate states as states in which the ball entry rates of the game balls into the second start winning port 16 are different. The plurality of entry rate states include a low entry rate state and a high entry rate state in which the entry rate is high compared to the low entry rate state. The high entry rate state is an advantageous state for the player because the holding condition of the second special game is easily established. The high entry rate state is a so-called "electric power support state". The low-ball-in rate state and the high-ball-in rate state may be states in which the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls shot, is different. For example, the low ball entry rate state may be a low base state, and the high ball entry rate state may be a high base state.

For example, the high ball entry rate state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by executing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is the variation time shortening control of the ordinary symbol that makes the variation time of the ordinary game shorter than that in the low entry rate state. The second control is a probability variation control of a normal symbol that changes the probability of winning a normal win lottery (hereinafter, referred to as a normal win probability) with a higher probability than in the low entry rate state.

The third control is an opening time extension control for making the total opening time of the normal variable member 17 in one normal hit game longer than that in the low ball entry rate state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, the number of times of opening the normal variable member 17 in one normal hit game is set to be larger than that in the low ball entry rate state, and one time of the normal variable member 17 in the normal hit game. It is advisable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of (1) longer than in the low entry rate state.

The high ball entry rate state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the average variation time of the special game shorter than that in the low entry rate state. When the variation time reduction control of the special symbol is executed, the high entry rate state is a so-called "variation time reduction state". The average variation time of the special game can be obtained by dividing the cumulative time of the variation time in the unit game of the special game by the unit number of times, assuming that the special game of the unit number of times is executed.

Next, the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a plurality of types of big hit symbols as big hit symbols of special symbols. The types of jackpots are defined for a plurality of types of jackpot designs. In the present embodiment, the big hit symbols are classified into a specific symbol group and a normal symbol group. The group of big hit symbols is not limited to the above, and may be changed as appropriate.

In the big hit game, first, a predetermined effect is performed for a predetermined time (hereinafter, referred to as an opening time). For example, the predetermined effect is an opening effect that can specify the start of a big hit game. In the big hit game, after the opening time has elapsed, a round game in which the big winning opening 18 is opened is played with a predetermined upper limit number as an upper limit. One round game is ended when a first end condition for entering a predetermined upper limit number of game balls or a second end condition for elapse of a predetermined upper limit time is satisfied. In the round game, the special winning opening 18 is opened in a predetermined opening manner. In each round game, a round effect is performed. Then, in the jackpot game, when the final round game is finished, a predetermined effect is performed for a predetermined time (hereinafter, referred to as ending time). For example, the predetermined effect is an ending effect that can specify the end of the big hit game. The big hit game is ended as the ending time elapses.

For the big hit symbols classified into the specific symbol group, after the big hit game is finished, until the next big hit game is given, a high probability state and a time saving state are given. On the other hand, it is stipulated that a low-probability state be given to the big hit symbols classified into the normal symbol group after the big hit game. In addition, in the big hit symbol classified into the normal symbol group, after the big hit game is over, either one of the condition that the fluctuation game of a predetermined number of times of operation ends and the condition that the next big hit game occurs It is stipulated that a time-saving state is given until the condition of is satisfied. In the following description, the jackpot of the symbols classified into the specific symbol group may be referred to as "specific jackpot", and the jackpot of the symbols classified into the normal symbol group may be referred to as "normal jackpot".

Next, an example of effects that the pachinko gaming machine 10 can execute will be described.
The effects that the pachinko gaming machine 10 can execute include an effect symbol variation game that is one of the display effects. In the following description, the effect symbol variation game is abbreviated as “effect game”. The effect game is an effect in which the effect display device EH variably displays effect symbols in a plurality of rows and finally derives a combination of effect symbols (hereinafter, referred to as effect symbol combination). The effect symbol is a symbol (decorative symbol) that is decorated with characters, patterns, etc., and is a symbol for diversifying the display effect. In the present embodiment, the effect game is performed by variably displaying (scrolling) the effect symbols in the first row, the second row, and the third row in predetermined directions.

The effect game is executed in association with the special game. Specifically, the effect game is started with the start of the special game and ended with the end of the special game. In the effect game, effect symbol combinations corresponding to the special symbols derived in the special game are derived. When the big hit symbol is derived in the special game, a big hit effect symbol combination is derived in the effect game. For example, the big hit production design combination is a design combination such that the production designs of all rows are the same, such as “777”.

In addition, in the special game, when the outlier symbol is derived, in the effect game, the inferior effect symbol combination is derived. For example, the production symbol combination of the outlier is a production symbol combination such as "778" or "787" in which at least some of the production symbols are different from the production symbols of the other columns. In the effect game, the effect symbol may be temporarily stopped and displayed before the fixed stop is displayed. In the present specification, the "temporary stop display" is a temporary stop state before the effect symbols are definitely stopped and displayed, such as a fluctuation display. In the following description, when the special game and the effect game executed in association with the special game are not distinguished, they are collectively referred to as a “fluctuation game”.

In the production game, the reach production may be executed by forming a reach. In the reach, the same effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in a specific row (the first row and the third row in the present embodiment) of the plurality of rows, and a row different from the specific row (the second row in the present embodiment). It is a state in which the effect design of (row) is continuously displayed in a variable manner. For example, the reach effect may include a plurality of types of reach effects in which the appearing character and the effect of the effect design are different.

The main control CPU 30a is configured to control the operations of the variable members 17 and 19 by controlling the operations of the solenoids SL1 and SL2.

Next, the sub control board 40 will be described in detail.
The sub control board 40 includes a sub control CPU 40a, a sub control ROM 40b, and a sub control RAM 40c. By executing the sub-control program, the sub-control CPU 40a performs a process related to an effect as the predetermined process. The sub-control ROM 40b stores a sub-control program, a judgment value used for a predetermined lottery, and the like. The sub-control ROM 40b stores display effect data used for display effects, light emission effect data used for light emission effects, voice effect data used for voice effects, and movable body effect data used for movable object effects.

The sub-control RAM 40c stores various information that is rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10. For example, the information stored in the sub control RAM 40c is a flag, a counter, a timer, or the like. The sub-control board 40 is configured to be able to generate software random numbers by the random-number generation processing by the sub-control CPU 40a. The sub control board 40 may include a random number generation circuit and be capable of generating a hardware random number.

The sub-control CPU 40a and the effect display device EH are connected. The sub-control CPU 40a is configured to be able to control the display content of the effect display device EH (display unit EHa). In the present embodiment, the effect display device EH includes a control unit (not shown) that controls the display content of the display unit EHa based on the control signal input from the sub control board 40. The display effect data used for the display effect may be stored in the ROM of the control unit of the effect display device EH.

The sub control CPU 40a and the stepping motor SM are connected. The sub control CPU 40a is configured to control the operation of the accessory unit 23 (movable portion 26) by controlling the operation of the stepping motor SM.

Next, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a will be described.
The main control CPU 30a executes a special symbol input process, a special symbol start process, and the like as an interrupt process to be performed every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms). In the present embodiment, the control command set in the output buffer is output to the sub control board 40 in the command output process executed as the interrupt process.

First, the special symbol input process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the first starting winning opening 15 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the first starting winning sensor SE1. (Step S101). When the game ball enters the first start winning opening 15 (step S101: YES), the main control CPU30a, the first special reserve number stored in the main control RAM30c is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) Or not (step S102).

When the first special pending number is less than the upper limit number (step S102: YES), the main control CPU30a adds 1 to the first special pending number and updates it (step S103). In the process of step S103, the main control CPU 30a controls the first special suspension display unit 13c so as to display the information capable of specifying the updated first special suspension number. The holding condition of the first special game is satisfied when the game ball is detected by the first starting prize sensor SE1 in a state where the first special holding number is less than the upper limit number.

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

Next, the main control CPU 30a performs prefetch processing (step S105). The details of this prefetching process will be described later. When the game ball has not entered the first start winning hole 15 (step S101: NO), the first special pending number is not less than the upper limit number (step S102: NO), and the process of step S105 ends. In that case, the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S106. In the process of step S105, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a game ball has entered the second starting winning opening 16 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the second starting winning sensor SE2. When the game ball has entered the second starting winning opening 16 (step S106: YES), the main control CPU 30a causes the second special holding number stored in the main control RAM 30c to be the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). ) Is less than () (step S107).

When the second special pending number is less than the upper limit number (step S107: YES), the main control CPU 30a updates the second special pending number by adding 1 (step S108). In the process of step S108, the main control CPU 30a controls the second special suspension display unit 13d so as to display the information capable of specifying the updated second special suspension number. The holding condition for the second special game is satisfied when the game ball is detected by the second starting prize sensor SE2 in a state where the second special holding number is less than the upper limit number.

Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 30 and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c (step S109). In the process of step S109, the main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that the random number information used in the second special game and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information for the second special game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the second special game is satisfied. When the game ball has not entered the second starting winning opening 16 (step S106: NO), the second special pending number is not less than the upper limit number (step S107: NO), and the process of step S109 ends. If so, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

The prefetch process (step S105 of the special symbol input process) will be described.
In the pre-reading process, the main control CPU 30a is a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a pre-reading command) that can specify the content of the newly held first special game based on the random number acquired in step S104 of the special symbol input process. Is generated and set in the output buffer. The prefetching process may be executed as a process different from the special symbol input process. In other words, the prefetching process only needs to be able to generate the prefetching command when the holding condition of the first special game is satisfied, such as the same interrupt process as when the random number is acquired in step S104 of the special symbol input process.

For example, the prefetch command may be composed of upper bytes and lower bytes. The upper byte of the look-ahead command may be able to specify the type of special game and the result of the jackpot lottery when the execution condition of the first special game corresponding to the look-ahead command is satisfied. For example, the main control CPU30a, the value of the jackpot random number acquired in step S104 of the special symbol input process, in the jackpot lottery (step S207 in the special symbol start process) described later, the jackpot in any of the low probability state and the high probability state When the value is determined to be winning, the value that can specify the big hit as the content of the first special game is set in the upper byte. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 30a does not determine that the jackpot is a big hit, the main control CPU 30a sets a value capable of specifying the deviation in the upper byte. Further, the lower byte of the prefetch command may be able to specify the first special reserved number when the prefetch command is generated.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the special game execution condition is satisfied (step S201). The main control CPU 30a makes an affirmative decision when not in the big hit game and in the special game, while making a negative decision in the big hit game or in the special game. When the execution condition of the special game is not satisfied (step S201: NO), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

On the other hand, when the execution condition of the special game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the second special suspension number is larger than 0 (step S202). When the second special reserved number is greater than 0 (step S202: YES), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S210 to start the second special game. On the other hand, when the second special pending number is 0 (step S202: NO), the main control CPU30a determines whether the first special pending number is greater than 0 (step S203). When the first special reserved number is greater than 0 (step S203: YES), the main control CPU 30a proceeds to the process of step S204 and starts the first special game. In this way, the main control CPU 30a preferentially executes the second special game without simultaneously executing the first special game and the second special game. When the first special reserved number and the second special reserved number are both 0 (steps S202 and S203: NO), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

When starting the first special game, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the first special reserved number and updates the number (step S204). The main control CPU 30a controls the first special hold display unit 13c so as to display information that can specify the updated first special hold number. Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires, from the main control RAM 30c, the random number information stored first among the random number information for the first special game (step S205).

Next, the main control CPU 30a identifies the game state (step S206). Subsequently, the main control CPU 30a performs a jackpot lottery as to whether or not to win the jackpot, based on the gaming state identified in the process of step S206 and the jackpot random number identified from the acquired random number information ( Step S207). For example, in the case of the low probability state, the main control CPU 30a determines that the value of the big hit random number specified from the acquired random number information is in the low probability range (0 to 65535) of the numerical values (0 to 65535) that the big hit random number can take. When it is 207), it is determined as a big hit. For example, in the case of the high probability state, the main control CPU 30a determines that the value of the big hit random number specified from the acquired random number information is a high accuracy range (0 to 65535) among the numerical values (0 to 65535) that the big hit random number can take. 1872), it is determined to be a big hit. In the present embodiment, the low accuracy range and the high accuracy range may overlap. Therefore, when the value of the big hit random number is in the low probability range, the big hit occurs in both the low-probability state and the high-probability state.

When the big hit is won (step S207: YES), the main control CPU 30a performs a big hit variation process (step S208). In the jackpot variation process, the main control CPU30a uses the jackpot symbol random number that can be specified from the random number information to perform the jackpot symbol lottery to determine the jackpot symbol of the special symbol. The main control CPU 30a uses a variation pattern random number that can be specified from the random number information to perform a variation pattern determination lottery, and determines a big hit variation pattern according to the current gaming state and the type of big hit symbol. After that, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

When the big hit is not won (step S207: NO), the main control CPU 30a performs a deviation variation process (step S209). In the deviation variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines the deviation symbol of the special symbol. The main control CPU 30a uses a fluctuation pattern random number that can be specified from random number information to perform a fluctuation pattern determination lottery, and depending on the current game state and the result of the falling lottery, a reach fluctuation pattern with or without reach. decide. After that, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

When starting the second special game, the main control CPU 30a performs, in steps S210 to S215, the same processing as when starting the first special game, targeting the second special game. That is, the main control CPU 30a performs the subtraction of the second special reserved number (step S210), the big hit lottery (step S213), and any variation process (steps S214, S215) based on the result of the big hit lottery. .. After that, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

Then, when the special symbol start process is completed, the main control CPU 30a executes a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the variable game. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a special symbol command) capable of specifying the special symbol determined by the big hit variation process in the special symbol start process and the outlier variation process in the output buffer. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a game start command) capable of specifying the start of the special game and the determined variation pattern in the output buffer. The game start command may also be able to specify the type of special game.

Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the special symbol display portions 13a and 13b so as to start the special game by starting the variable display of the predetermined symbols. The main control CPU 30a measures the variation time set in the determined variation pattern. The main control CPU 30a controls the special symbol display portions 13a and 13b so as to derive the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process when the variation time set in the variation pattern elapses. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a game end command) capable of specifying the end of the special game in the output buffer when the change time set in the determined change pattern elapses.

Next, the big hit game process will be described.
The big hit game process is a process for giving a big hit game after the end of the special game of the big hit. In the big hit game processing, the main control CPU 30a specifies the kind of big hit game to be given, based on the big hit symbol (that is, kind of big hit) determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, the main control CPU 30a performs the following process in order to give the specified type of big hit game.

First, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter referred to as an opening command) capable of specifying the start of the opening time in the output buffer. When the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a performs a process for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the special solenoid SL2 by using the specified opening pattern data (opening control data) for the big hit game, and opens the special winning opening 18. When the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied during the execution of the round game, the main control CPU 30a controls the special solenoid SL2 to close the special winning opening 18, and ends the round game. The main control CPU 30a repeatedly performs such a process for executing one round game until the upper limit number of round games defined for the big hit game is completed. Further, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a round command) capable of specifying the start of the round game in the output buffer each time the round game is started. When the final round game ends, the main control CPU 30a sets a control command (hereinafter, referred to as an ending command) capable of specifying the start of the ending time in the output buffer. When the ending time has passed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

Next, the probability transfer process for transferring the probability state will be described.
When the main control CPU 30a finishes the big hit game based on the specific big hit, the main control RAM 30c stores the high-accuracy flag. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the high probability state. On the other hand, the main control CPU30a does not store the high-accuracy flag in the main control RAM30c when the big hit game based on the normal big hit ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls to a low probability state. Further, the main control CPU30a, when starting the big hit game, when the high-accuracy flag is stored, erase the high-accuracy flag. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls to a low probability state during the big hit game.

Next, a process of shifting the ball entry rate state will be described.
The main control CPU30a stores the time saving flag in the main control RAM30c when the big hit game based on the specific big hit is finished. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the time saving state. When the big hit game based on the normal big hit is finished, the main control CPU 30a stores the time saving flag in the main control RAM 30c and counts the number of times the special game is executed in the time saving state. The main control CPU 30a erases the time saving flag when the number of executions of the special game being counted reaches the number of operations without the jackpot game being started. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls to the non-time saving state, triggered by the end of the special game of the number of operations. The main control CPU 30a erases the time saving flag when the big hit game is started and the time saving flag is stored. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls the non-time saving state during the big hit game.

Next, the normal symbol input process will be described.
In the normal symbol input process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate 20, based on whether or not a detection signal is input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball passes through the gate 20, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the number of normally reserved numbers is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). When the number of ordinary reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a updates the number of ordinary reservations by adding 1. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal hold display unit 13f so as to display information that can specify the updated normal hold number. The hold condition for the base game is satisfied when the game ball is detected by the gate sensor SE4 in a state where the base hold number is less than the upper limit number.

Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires a random number generated in the main control board 30, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 30c. For example, the random number is a random number used for the regular hit lottery, a random number used for determining the regular win symbol, and a random number used for determining the variation time of the regular game. The main control CPU 30a stores the random number information so that the random number information for the normal game can be specified and the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information used for the normal game is stored in the main control RAM 30c, so that the execution can be suspended until the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 20, when the normal hold number is not less than the upper limit number, and when the random number information for the normal game is stored, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol input process.

Next, the normal symbol start process will be described.
The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the normal game execution condition is satisfied. The main control CPU 30a makes an affirmative decision when the normal hit game is not in progress and is not in the normal game, while making a negative decision when it is in the normal hit game or in the normal game. When the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start processing. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the normal hold number is greater than zero. When the normally reserved number is 0, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal symbol start process. When the normal hold number is greater than 0, the main control CPU 30a starts the normal game.

When the normal game is started, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the normal hold number and updates it. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal hold display unit 13f so as to display information that can specify the updated normal hold number. The main control CPU 30a acquires the random number information stored first among the random number information used for the normal game from the main control RAM 30c. The main control CPU 30a uses a random number specified from the acquired random number information to perform a normal win lottery to determine whether or not to win the normal win. In the case of winning the normal hit in the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines the normal hit symbol by the lottery using a random number that can be specified from the random number information. On the other hand, when the normal win is not won in the normal win lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines the normally out-of-symbol. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines the variation time of the normal game by lottery using a random number that can be specified from the random number information. After that, the sub-control CPU 40a normally ends the symbol start process.

Then, when the normal symbol start process ends, the main control CPU 30a executes a normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a controls the normal symbol display portion 13e so as to start the normal game by starting the variable display of a predetermined symbol. The main control CPU 30a measures the determined fluctuation time. The main control CPU 30a controls the normal symbol display portion 13e so as to derive the determined normal symbol when the determined variation time elapses.

Next, the normal hit game process will be described.
The normal hit game process is a process for giving a normal hit game after the end of the normal hit normal game. In the normal hit game process, the main control CPU 30a specifies the type of the normal hit game to be given, based on the normal hit symbol determined in the normal symbol start process (that is, the kind of the normal hit). Then, the main control CPU 30a controls the normal solenoid SL1 by using the specified normal hit game opening pattern data (opening control data) to open the second starting winning opening 16.

Next, various processes executed by the sub control CPU 40a will be described.
In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 40a executes various processes related to the effect, thereby realizing a function as effect control means for controlling execution of the effect. The details will be described below.

First, the big hit production process will be described.
The big hit production process is a process for executing an effect during a big hit game (hereinafter, referred to as a big hit production). When the opening command is input, the sub control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH so as to execute the opening effect. When the sub-control CPU 40a inputs a round command, the sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH so as to execute the round effect. When the ending command is input, the sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH to execute the ending effect. Note that the big hit effect may include at least one of a sound effect, a light emission effect, and a movable effect in addition to or instead of the display effect.

Next, the effect game process will be described.
The effect game process is a process for executing the effect game as one of the display effects related to the special game during the execution of the special game. In the effect game process, when the sub-control CPU 40a inputs a game start command, the sub control CPU 40a determines the effect contents of the effect game based on a variation pattern that can be specified from the game start command. Although described in detail later, the sub-control CPU 40a is adapted to execute various effects during execution of the effect game.

When the special symbol command is input, the sub-control CPU 40a determines the effect symbol combination to be derived in the effect game, based on the special symbol that can be specified from the special symbol command. Sub control CPU40a, when it is possible to specify the jackpot design of the special design, decides the effect design combination of the jackpot. In addition, when it is possible to specify the off symbol of the special symbol, the sub-control CPU 40a determines the effect symbol combination of the off symbol.

Here, the sub-control CPU 40a determines an outlier effect symbol combination including reach when executing the reach effect in the effect game this time because the reach effect execution condition is satisfied. In this embodiment, the reach condition is satisfied by selecting a variation pattern with reach. As the reach condition, in addition to the selection of the variation pattern with reach, a predetermined reach production lottery may be performed to win the reach production lottery. When the execution condition of the reach effect is not satisfied and the reach effect is not executed in the effect game this time, the sub control CPU 40a determines an outlying effect symbol combination that does not include the reach.

When the game start command is input, the sub control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH so as to start the variable display of the effect symbols in each row. That is, the sub-control CPU 40a starts the effect game. The sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH so that the effect game is played along the selected effect pattern during the change time determined by the change pattern. The sub-control CPU 40a, when a predetermined timing comes after starting the effect game, causes the determined effect symbol combination to be temporarily stopped and displayed, and also causes the effect symbol combination to be fixedly stopped and displayed in response to the input of the game end command. Note that the sub-control CPU 40a may cause the effect symbol combination to be fixedly stopped and displayed when the variation time set in the variation pattern elapses, regardless of the game end command. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

Characteristic effects in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute, as one of the effects, an effect (hereinafter, referred to as a movable effect) that causes the movable portion 26 to perform a predetermined operation. Further, in the present embodiment, the movable effect may form a predetermined effect together with the display effect by the image displayed on the display unit EHa. The details will be described below.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displaces the movable portion 26 from the original position P0 to the third effect position P3 and stops it at the third effect position P3, and then the third effect position P3. The movable effect (hereinafter, referred to as a specific movable effect) for returning from the original position to the original position P0 is configured to be executable. The specific movable effect is an effect in which the movable part 26 has a normal form between the positions P0 to P2 and the movable part 26 changes to a specific form between the effect positions P2 and P3. In the present embodiment, the specific movable effect corresponds to the second movable effect in which the movable portion 26 operates in the second direction D2 intersecting the surface Sf of the display unit EHa.

As shown in FIG. 4, during execution of the specific movable effect, when the movable section 26 assumes the specific posture at the third effect position P3, the display section EHa imitates the second movable section 28 (the tip of the vermilion spear). The specific image 28g is displayed. The specific image 28g is an image in which the tip of the red spear (second movable portion) that can be recognized by the specific image 28g extends on an extension of the movable portion 26 (first movable portion 27) inclined with respect to the surface Sf. Is. In other words, the specific image 28g is an image that imitates the second movable portion 28 when it is assumed that the movable portion 26 is in the normal shape at the third effect position P3. That is, the specific image 28g is an image corresponding to the second movable portion 28 (specific portion) of the movable portion 26.

Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is one effect body that allows the "spear of vermilion" to be recognized by the movable section 26 of the specific form and the specific image 28g displayed on the effect display device EH. Is configured to form the specific effect body E2. According to another aspect, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the movable part 26 changes from the normal form to the specific form, the position of the second movable part 28 changes relative to the first movable part 27, and the display unit. It can be said that, of the EHa, a specific region that is invisible when the movable portion 26 is assumed to be in the normal form is visible. Then, the specific image 28g is displayed in the specific area. Note that the specific image 28g does not have to exactly match the specific region, and may be displayed correspondingly.

In the present embodiment, the effect including the formation of the specific effect body E2 by the movable portion 26 and the specific image 28g displayed on the display unit EHa corresponds to the specific effect. In particular, in the present embodiment, the form of the movable portion 26 when the specific effect body E2 is formed is the specific form (second form). Here, in the present specification, when it is referred to as “effect body”, it can be recognized as a group of “things” by the player, and is formed from only a tangible object that occupies a space, such as the movable portion 26. It is not limited to this. That is, the "direction effect body" in the present specification is formed by only an intangible object that does not occupy a space, such as an image displayed on the display unit EHa, and a combination of the tangible object and the intangible object. This is the intention regardless of what is formed. Although described in detail below, an image different from the specific image 28g may be displayed during execution of the specific movable effect. However, in the present embodiment, an image different from the specific image 28g is not included in the constituent elements of the specific effect body E2.

As shown in FIG. 9, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has an effect (hereinafter, referred to as a first normal movable effect) in which the movable portion 26 is operated so as to swing between the original position P0 and the first effect position P1. It is configured to be executable. The first normal movable effect is an effect that the movable unit 26 does not change to a specific form and is performed while maintaining the normal form. In the present embodiment, the first normal movable effect corresponds to the first movable effect that operates along the first direction D1a along the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. In the present embodiment, the first normal movable effect is an effect that suggests that any of a chance up effect, a step up effect, and a hold change effect (change occurrence effect) can be executed (hereinafter referred to as suggestion effect). It is supposed to be executed as. The chance up effect, the step up effect, and the pending change effect (change occurrence effect) will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 10, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displaces the movable portion 26 from the original position P0 to the second effect position P2 and stops it at the second effect position P2, and then from the second effect position P2 to the original position. The movable effect (hereinafter, referred to as the second normal movable effect) for returning to P0 is configured to be executable. The second normal movable effect is an effect that the movable unit 26 does not change into a specific shape and is performed while maintaining the normal shape. In the present embodiment, the second normal movable effect corresponds to the first movable effect that operates along the first directions D1a and D1b along the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. In the present embodiment, the second normal movable effect is an effect (hereinafter, referred to as a chance-up effect) that can specify that the variable game being executed has a high expectation of a big hit (hereinafter, referred to as a big hit expectation). It is supposed to be executed as.

As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, during execution of the first normal movable effect or the second normal movable effect, the movable portion 26 is in the normal form. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is one effect body that makes it possible to recognize the "red spear" by the single movable part 26 during execution of the first normally movable effect or the second normally movable effect. As a result, the normal effect body E1 is configured. Then, the normal effect body E1 and the specific effect body E2 in the present embodiment are both effect bodies that can be recognized as the same “spear of vermilion”. That is, in the present embodiment, the normal effect body E1 and the specific effect body E2 are effect bodies that the player can recognize as the same or substantially the same. In the present embodiment, the suggestive effect and the chance-up effect correspond to the normal effect in which the movable part 26 forms the normal effect body E1. In the present embodiment, the normal effect body E1 is formed without including the specific image 28g. Further, in the present embodiment, the normal effect body E1 is formed without including an image different from the specific image 28g.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute, as one of the effects, an effect (hereinafter, referred to as a notice effect) that allows the jackpot expectation degree in the special game being executed to be specified.
For example, the notice effect includes an effect in which a predetermined image is displayed in stages (hereinafter referred to as a step-up effect). In the step-up effect, it is preferable that the big hit expectation degree can be specified by at least one of the type of image to be displayed and the number of stages. The step-up effect of the present embodiment is configured to include an introduction section that allows the start of the step-up effect to be specified, and a progress section that displays images in stages. The step-up effect of this embodiment is performed after the above-described suggestion effect (first normal movable effect) is executed.

As shown in FIG. 11, the step-up effect introduction unit executes the specific movable effect, and displays the specific image 28g and the display unit in accordance with the timing when the movable unit 26 reaches the third effect position P3. This is executed by a mode in which an image simulating that the surface Sf of EHa is cracked is displayed on the display unit EHa. That is, in the introduction part of the step-up effect, one specific effect body E2 is formed by the movable part 26 and the specific image 28g, and it is as if the display section EHa was destroyed by the specific effect body E2. The situation is expressed as a production. Therefore, the introduction part of the step-up effect corresponds to one of the specific effects.

In the following description, the entire display screen displayed in the display area of the display unit EHa in the state where the specific effect is not executed is referred to as an effect game screen 29 for convenience of description. The effect game screen 29 may include effect symbols that are being variably displayed or temporarily displayed, and may include a hold image HG described later. In the step-up effect introduction section, the effect game screen 29 is displayed so as not to be inclined with respect to the surface Sf of the display section EHa.

In the step-up effect proceeding section, the images are displayed in a predetermined order from the first stage to the third stage, up to a maximum of three stages (3 steps). In the step-up effect of the present embodiment, there are times when the advancing portion ends in one-step image display, two-step image display ends, and three-step image display ends. .. For example, even in the same first stage, when the image for the first stage is displayed and when the image that is originally for the third stage is displayed, the latter is expected to be a big hit. The degree is high. In addition, if the same image is displayed, the latter has a higher probability of hitting when the advancing unit ends in the first stage and in the third stage. The image displayed at each stage may be a still image or a moving image.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to execute, as one of the effects, an effect (hereinafter, referred to as pre-effect) that allows the jackpot expectation degree in the pending special game to be specified. The pre-production is a so-called "look-ahead production".

Here, in the non-time saving state, the hold image HG is displayed on the effect display device EH as information indicating the first special game that is being held. In the present embodiment, one holding image HG indicates one holding first variable game. Therefore, when the special hold number=1, one hold image HG is displayed, when the special hold number=2, two hold images HG are displayed, and when the special hold number=3, three hold images HG are displayed. When the number of special reservations=4, four reservation images HG are displayed. That is, the first special reserved number can be specified by the number of displayed reserved images HG.

In the display unit EHa, as shown in the figure, the pending images HG are displayed in order from the left to the right, at a maximum of four, as indicated by Arabic numerals 1 to 4. The first hold image HG from the left corresponds to the first special game to be executed next time, and the second hold image HG from the left corresponds to the first special game to be executed for the second time. In addition, the third hold image HG from the left corresponds to the first special game executed at the third time among the held first special games, and the fourth hold image HG from the left is executed at the fourth time. This corresponds to the first special game played. In the display unit EHa, when the first special game is newly started, the reserved image HG displayed on the leftmost side is deleted. In addition, when one or more reserved images HG are being displayed, the display position is moved so that the reserved images HG are slid (shifted) one by one.

Then, the pre-production of the present embodiment is an effect of changing the display mode of the one or more hold images HG displayed on the effect display device EH from the normal display mode to the specific display mode (hereinafter referred to as a hold change effect). ). For example, the specific display mode and the normal display mode are arbitrarily selected from the type, size, display position, and the basic color tone of the held image, whether or not there is blinking, and the presence or type of an accompanying effect image. It is only necessary that one or a plurality of them be different. In the present embodiment, the reserved image HG in the normal display mode is an image imitating a white sphere (hereinafter, referred to as a white reserved image), and the reserved image HG in the specific display mode imitates a red sphere. It is an image (hereinafter, referred to as a red reserved image). In the hold change effect, when the hold image HG is changed to the specific display mode, the special game corresponding to the hold image HG in the specific display mode is compared to the special game corresponding to the hold image HG in the normal display mode. It is possible to specify that the expectation of a big hit is high.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to execute an effect (hereinafter, referred to as a change occurrence effect) that can specify whether or not the display mode of the hold image HG changes. The change occurrence effect can be grasped as an effect that can specify whether or not the preliminary effect is executed. The change generation effect is configured to include an introduction unit that can specify the start of the change generation effect and a result unit that can specify whether or not the display mode of the reserved image HG changes.

As shown in FIG. 9, the change generation effect of the present embodiment is performed after the suggestion effect (first normal movable effect) is executed. In the present embodiment, during execution of the change effect, on the effect game screen 29, at least the held image HG that is being displayed is continuously displayed among the images displayed immediately before the start of the change effect. .. In addition, during execution of the change generation effect, variable display of effect symbols may be continued on the effect game screen 29, or execution of a predetermined notice effect may be continued. Further, when the hold image HG is displayed as a moving image while the change occurrence effect is not being executed, the hold image HG may be displayed as a moving image on the effect game screen 29 while the change occurrence effect is being executed, and the change occurrence effect ends. Until it is displayed, the still image may be temporarily switched to be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 12, in the change generation effect introduction section, the effect game screen 29 before the start of the change generation effect is displayed so as to be reduced while tilting. That is, in the change generation effect introduction section, a state in which the effect game screen 29 blows backward from the surface Sf of the display section EHa is expressed as an effect. During execution of the change generation effect introduction section, in an area other than the area in which the effect game screen 29 is displayed in the display area of the display unit EHa, an effect image or the like that emphasizes the movement of the effect game screen 29 is displayed. Thus, the predetermined background image 29a is displayed. On the display unit EHa, a predetermined foreground image may be displayed so as to be superimposed on the front of the effect game screen 29. Further, in the introduction portion of the change generation effect, the movable portion 26 is displaced from the original position P0 to the second effect position P2 while maintaining the normal form.

In the result section of the change generation effect, a success result effect that can finally specify that the display mode of the hold image HG changes and a failure result that can specify that the display mode of the hold image HG does not change Any of the effects is executed. When the success result effect is executed in the result part of the change generation effect, as a result, one of the display modes of the held image HG being displayed is changed from the normal display mode to the specific display mode. On the other hand, when the failure result effect is executed in the change occurrence effect result portion, as a result, none of the display modes of the held image HG being displayed is changed.

As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, in the change effect effect result section, the effect game screen 29 displayed in the introduction section so as to be reduced is displayed so as to be enlarged this time with a predetermined inclination. .. That is, in the result portion of the change generation effect, the appearance that the effect game screen 29 blows away from the rear toward the surface Sf of the display unit EHa is expressed as an effect. During the execution of the result portion of the change generation effect, in the area other than the area where the effect game screen 29 is displayed in the display area of the display unit EHa, the predetermined background image 29a and the predetermined background image 29a are specified, as in the above-described introduction section. The foreground image of is preferably displayed.

In parallel with this, in the result portion of the change generation effect, the movable portion 26 is displaced from the second effect position P2 to the third effect position P3 while changing from the normal mode to the specific mode. Further, in the result portion of the change generation effect, the specific image 28g is displayed in addition to the effect game screen 29 and the predetermined background image 29a described above. That is, in the result portion of the change generation effect, one specific effect body E2 is formed by the movable portion 26 and the specific image 28g. Therefore, the result part of the change generation effect corresponds to one of the specific effects.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13, in the failure result effect in the result section, the specific effect body E2 is stuck in a part of the effect game screen 29 that has blown away from the rear side, which is different from the area in which the hold image HG is displayed. The appearance is displayed. At this time, the effect game screen 29 is maintained in a state of being displayed so as to be inclined with respect to the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. Here, the virtual inclination θv of the effect game screen 29 with respect to the surface Sf of the display unit EHa or the virtual plane Sfa is the same as the virtual extending direction D4 in which the specific effect body E2 extends at the third effect position P3. , The angle at which the effect game screen 29 intersects. That is, during execution of the specific movable effect (second movable effect), the inclination of the effect game screen 29 as the predetermined image on the display unit EHa is an inclination according to the inclination of the movable unit 26 with respect to the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. ..

Then, the movable part 26 returns to the original position P0 via the second effect position P2 while returning to the normal form. In the effect display device EH, the effect game screen 29 is displayed so as to cover the entire display area of the display unit EHa, and the state where the change occurrence effect is not executed is restored. When the failure result effect is executed, the display mode does not change for any of the hold images HG. In this way, the change occurrence effect including the failure result effect as the result portion is a change occurrence effect in which the display mode of the hold image HG does not change.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, in the success result effect in the result section, in the effect image screen 29 that has blown away from the rear, the specific effect body E2 (corresponding to the tip of the tip) is added to the hold image HG that is the target of the hold change effect. A state in which the specific image 28g) is stuck is displayed. At this time, in the display unit EHa, the effect game screen 29 is maintained in a state of being tilted with respect to the surface Sf of the display unit EHa, as in the case of the failure result effect. Note that FIG. 14 illustrates a state in which the specific effect body E2 is stuck in the holding image HG indicating the special game to be executed second of the holding special games.

Then, as indicated by the black color in the drawing, the hold image HG in which the appearance of the specific effect body E2 (the specific image 28g corresponding to the tip) is pierced in the display portion EHa is changed from the normal display mode to the specific display mode. Is changed. In this way, when the success result effect is executed, the display mode of the hold image HG on which the specific effect body E2 (specific image 28g) acts is changed to the specific display mode. Then, the movable part 26 returns to the original position P0 via the second effect position P2 while returning to the normal form. In the effect display device EH, the effect game screen 29 is displayed so as to cover the entire display area of the display unit EHa, and the state where the change occurrence effect is not executed is restored.

Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the specific image 28g is displayed on the display unit EHa during execution of the specific movable effect (second movable effect), and the movable unit 26 and the specific image 28g displayed on the display unit EHa. , To form one specific effect body E2. Then, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a change effect in which at least a part of the effect game screen 29 (holding image HG) as a predetermined image different from the specific image 28g changes in association with the execution of the change occurrence effect (specific effect). , And as a special effect, a pending change effect can be executed. The change generation effect includes the above-described success result effect, and the success effect effect corresponds to a progress effect performed using the specific image 28g and the effect game screen 29 (particularly, the hold image HG).

Next, an effect process for executing the characteristic effect will be described.
A process for executing the hold change effect will be described.
First, the effect setting process will be described. When the prefetch command is input in the non-time saving state, the sub control CPU 40a executes the effect setting process.

The sub-control CPU 40a stores, in the sub-control RAM 40c, hold information that can specify the content of the special game indicated by the input prefetch command. The hold information may be the value of the prefetch command itself or may be information processed by a predetermined method. The sub-control CPU 40a stores the holding information so that the type of the special game and the storage order of the holding information can be specified. In addition, the sub-control CPU 40a erases the hold information stored first every time the game start command is input. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 40a can specify the content of the special game that is being held by referring to the holding information stored in the sub control RAM 40c. That is, the sub-control CPU 40a of the present embodiment can also function as a unit that can determine the content of the special game that is being held.

Next, the sub-control CPU 40a determines, based on the content of the special game that can be specified from the input prefetch command, whether or not to execute the pending change effect for the special game corresponding to the prefetch command. The sub-control CPU 40a determines non-execution of the hold change effect when a hold change flag that can specify that the execution of the hold change effect has been determined is stored in the sub-control RAM 40c. On the other hand, when the hold change flag is not stored, the sub-control CPU 40a uses a predetermined random number to perform an effect lottery as to whether or not to execute the hold change effect. The main control CPU 30a determines that the execution of the hold change effect is higher than the non-execution of the hold change effect such that the determination rate at the time of a big hit in the entire determination rate is higher. When the effect lottery is not won, the sub-control CPU 40a determines not to execute the pending change effect. After that, the sub-control CPU 40a ends the effect setting process.

On the other hand, when the effect lottery is won, the sub-control CPU 40a determines to execute the hold change effect targeting the hold image HG indicating the special game corresponding to the input prefetch command, and the hold change to the sub-control RAM 40c. Remember the flag. That is, the sub-control CPU 40a does not duplicately execute a plurality of pending change effects. The hold change flag has already been decided to execute the hold change effect, and can be grasped as information that can specify that the display mode of the hold image HG has been changed or has not been changed.

Subsequently, the sub-control CPU 40a determines which special game among the special games that is being held, including the special game corresponding to the input prefetch command, is changing the display mode of the hold image HG. (Hereinafter, this processing will be referred to as change mode determination processing). For example, the special game for changing the display mode of the hold image HG may be determined by lottery using a predetermined random number, or the next special game may be uniquely determined. When the sub-control CPU 40a determines the special game for changing the display mode of the reserved image HG, the sub-control RAM 40c stores the change-mode flag as information that enables the special game to be identified. The main control CPU 30a erases the change effect flag and the change mode flag when the special game targeted for the pending change effect ends. After that, the sub-control CPU 40a ends the effect setting process.

Next, the first effect execution process will be described.
When the game start command is input, the sub control CPU 40a executes a first effect execution process. The sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH so as to erase the reserved image HG displayed on the leftmost side of the reserved images HG displayed on the display unit EHa. When displaying the pending image HG different from the pending image HG to be erased, the sub-control CPU 40a corresponds to the one or more pending images HG being displayed in a smaller order (left side). The effect display device EH is controlled so as to slide to the display position. The sub-control CPU 40a maintains the display mode of the reserved image HG without changing it when the reserved image HG is slidably displayed.

Next, when the hold change flag is stored, the sub-control CPU 40a refers to the hold mode flag to determine whether or not the current changing game is a changing game that changes the display mode of the holding image HG. The sub-control CPU 40a determines non-execution of the change effect if the present variation game is not a variation game that changes the display mode of the hold image HG. In this case, the sub-control CPU 40a controls the effect display device EH and the accessory unit 23 so as not to execute the change occurrence effect. On the other hand, when the current fluctuating game is a fluctuating game in which the display mode of the hold image HG is changed, the sub-control CPU 40a decides to execute the change generating effect including the success result effect. That is, in the present embodiment, execution of the hold change effect is determined, and it is determined that the current changing game is a changing game that changes the display mode of the holding image HG, so that the movable portion 26 moves in the second direction. Of D2, the operating condition for operating in the direction toward the surface Sf of the display unit EHa is satisfied.

As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 12, and FIG. 14, when the sub-control CPU 40a decides to execute the change effect, when the predetermined time elapses after the effect game is started, the suggestion effect→the change effect is changed. The effect display device EH and the accessory unit 23 are controlled so that each effect is executed in the order of the introduction section→the result section (success result effect). When executing the success result effect, the sub-control CPU 40a displays the appearance of the specific effect body E2 being stuck in the hold image HG corresponding to the first special game that is the target of the hold change effect this time. It controls the EH and accessory unit 23. That is, the success result effect of the present embodiment is executed in such a manner that the pending image HG in which the display mode changes, that is, the first special game with high jackpot expectation can be specified.

Here, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 40a realizes the display screen of the display unit EHa in the change effect by reproducing the moving image data created in advance and stored in the sub-control ROM 40b. In addition, the sub-control CPU 40a arranges the image object corresponding to the effect game screen 29 and the virtual viewpoint in the virtual three-dimensional space, and creates moving image data on the assumption that the image is viewed from the virtual viewpoint. Accordingly, the display screen of the display unit EHa in the change occurrence effect may be realized. Since the same applies to the display screen of the display unit EHa in other effects, detailed description will be omitted.

Next, the second effect execution process will be described.
When the game start command is input, the sub control CPU 40a executes a second effect execution process. The sub-control CPU 40a does not store the hold change flag, and when there is no first special game that is a big hit in the first special game that is being held, the sub-control CPU 40a changes the effect of the gasse in the present effect game (failure result). Whether to execute) is determined by a lottery drawing lottery using a predetermined random number. Even when the hold change flag is not stored in the sub-control RAM 40c, the sub control CPU 40a executes the change occurrence effect of the goth when the held first special game has the first special game that is a big hit. I don't decide.

In addition, the sub-control CPU 40a determines an effect to be executed in the effect game of this time by a lottery using a predetermined random number from among a plurality of kinds of effects including a hint effect, a chance up effect, and a step up effect. To do. When determining execution of the step-up effect, the sub control CPU 40a determines the number of stages in the advancing section. At this time, the sub-control CPU 40a determines the number of stages in the order of the number of stages 1<2<3 so that the determination ratio in the case of a big hit in the whole determination ratio becomes higher.

As shown in FIG. 9, if the sub control CPU 40a determines to execute the suggestive effect of Gase, the effect display device is configured to execute the suggestive effect described above when a predetermined time has elapsed after the effect game was started. It controls the EH and accessory unit 23. The sub-control CPU 40a does not execute the chance-up effect, the step-up effect, and the gase change occurrence effect after the completion of the suggestion effect.

As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when the sub-control CPU 40a decides to execute the chance-up effect, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the effect game was started, the sub-control CPU 40a performs each of the suggestion effect→the chance-up effect in the order. The effect display device EH and the accessory unit 23 are controlled so as to execute the effect.

As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 11, when the sub-control CPU 40a decides to execute the step-up effect, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the effect game was started, the suggestion effect→the step-up effect introduction section→the step The effect display device EH and the accessory unit 23 are controlled so as to execute each effect in the order of the progression section of the up effect.

As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 12, and FIG. 13, when the sub-control CPU 40a decides to execute the change occurrence effect of the gasse, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the effect game was started, the suggestion effect→change occurrence The effect display device EH and the accessory unit 23 are controlled so that each effect is executed in the order of effect introduction section→result section (failure result effect).

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 15, in the present embodiment, when a suggestive effect (first normal movable effect) is executed, a situation in which the situation does not develop into another effect, a chance up effect, a step up effect, and a change occurrence. It is possible to create a situation that develops into one of the productions.

When a chance up effect (second normal movable effect) is developed via the suggestive effect (first normal movable effect), in the series of effects, the operation direction of the movable portion 26 is set along the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. In the same direction (first direction D1a, D1b). Further, the suggestive effect and the chance-up effect are executed by unifying the form of the movable portion 26 to the normal form.

On the other hand, when the step-up effect (specific movable effect) is developed via the suggested effect (first normal movable effect), the series of effects changes the operation direction of the movable part 26 to the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. Is changed to the second direction D2 that intersects the surface Sf. In addition, the suggestive effect and the step-up effect are executed by changing the form of the movable portion 26 to a specific form on the way.

Further, even when the change effect (specific moveable effect) is developed via the suggestive effect (first normal movable effect), the series of effects indicates the operation direction of the movable part 26 on the surface Sf of the display unit EHa. Is changed to the second direction D2 that intersects the surface Sf. That is, the suggestive effect and the change effect effect are executed by changing the form of the movable portion 26 to a specific form on the way.

Therefore, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(A1) According to the present embodiment, the movable portion 26 (first movable portion 27) and the specific image 28g displayed on the display portion EHa form one specific effect body E2. It is possible to realize an attractive effect for the player, as compared with a configuration in which the effect body is formed by itself or by using the image alone. Therefore, the interest of the player can be improved.

(A2) According to the present embodiment, in relation to the formation of the specific effect body E2 by the movable portion 26 (first movable portion 27) and the specific image 28g, the effect game screen 29 (( Since the hold image HG) changes, the player's attention can be attracted and the interest of the player can be improved, as compared with a configuration in which the effect game screen 29 is simply changed.

(A3) According to the present embodiment, the specific effect body E2 acts because the progress effect is performed using the specific image 28g forming the specific effect body E2 and the hold image HG to be changed. This makes it easier to recognize that the held image HG has changed. Therefore, the interest can be improved in both the specific effect and the pending change effect.

(B1) According to this embodiment, not only the normal effect body E1 is formed by the movable portion 26, but also the specific effect body E2 can be formed by the movable portion 26 and the specific image 28g. It is possible to diversify and achieve attractive effects for players. Therefore, the interest of the player can be improved.

(B2) According to the present embodiment, since the normal effect body E1 is formed without including the specific image 28g, it is possible to emphasize the variety of formation modes of the effect body and further improve the interest of the player. it can.

(B3) According to the present embodiment, the player can visually recognize that the normal effect body E1 and the specific effect body E2 are the same or substantially the same. Therefore, by giving the player a sense of unity as the effect body, A production that is easy to understand can be realized.

(D1) According to the present embodiment, the specific effect body E2 can be formed by the movable portion 26 that has changed to the specific mode from the normal mode and the specific mode, and the specific image 28g.
