Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine.

Conventionally, a pachinko machine, which is an example of a game machine, is provided with an effect display unit for displaying a decorative pattern, an image, or a hold display body. Then, in such a pachinko machine, when displaying the hold display body, the content of the corresponding hold information (for example, the result of the jackpot lottery) is pre-determined, and the result of the pre-judgment is a specific result. If there is, there is one that changes the hold display body that moves according to the digestion of the hold from a normal display body to another display body having a different color or shape (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2013-244366

However, in the conventional gaming machine, when changing the hold display body, the character interferes only with the hold display body to be changed, so for the player, which hold display body is likely to change. There is a problem that it can be easily identified and it is not interesting.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a highly playable gaming machine that executes a novel change effect of a holding display body that has never existed before.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with a symbol display unit capable of fluctuating / definitely displaying a symbol and an effect display unit for performing various display effects, as well as operations related to the game and the above. The control means for controlling the display operation in the symbol display unit and the effect display unit is provided, and when the control means acquires a numerical value from one or a plurality of random numbers based on the satisfaction of a predetermined lottery condition, the acquired numerical value is obtained. While storing up to a predetermined number as hold information, one hold information is read from the hold information stored in a predetermined order, and at least the definite display mode of the symbol and the fluctuation time of the symbol are determined based on the numerical value. In the gaming machine to be determined, the control means adds the hold display body to the display position corresponding to the number of the hold information in the effect display unit in accordance with the storage of the hold information, while adding the hold information. Upon reading, the hold display body corresponding to the hold information to be read is moved to a predetermined digestion position in the effect display unit, or is changed to a corresponding digestion display body according to the movement to the digestion position. The hold display body corresponding to the hold information not read this time is moved to a new display position corresponding to the number of the hold display bodies, while having a plurality of types of display bodies as the hold display bodies of the symbol. When the predictive game condition including that the fluctuation time of the symbol is a predetermined fluctuation time is satisfied with the start of the fluctuation, all the displayed characters are displayed after the reserved display body is moved to the new display position. the hold display member with a predetermined predictive display mode, when the Ru first game condition is met Tei, upon termination of the predictive display mode during or prognostic display mode, at least one of said of said hold display body for hold display body, while changing from the display body before moving to another of said display body, the Ru second game condition is met Tei, tables shown all the hold display body and the predictive display mode However, it is characterized in that all the reserved display bodies are not changed from the display bodies before the movement with the end of the sign display mode.

It should be noted that a symbol display unit capable of fluctuating / definitely displaying the symbol, an effect display unit for performing various display effects, and a special winning means having a movable member capable of opening and closing are provided, and are related to the game. A control means for controlling an operation or a symbol display unit and a display operation in the effect display unit is provided, and the control means is acquired when a numerical value is acquired from one or a plurality of random numbers based on the satisfaction of a predetermined lottery condition. While storing up to a predetermined number of numerical values as hold information, one hold information is read from the hold information stored in a predetermined order, and at least the definite display mode of the symbol and the fluctuation time of the symbol are based on the numerical value. At the same time, the symbol display unit starts the fluctuation of the symbol, the symbol is confirmed and displayed in a predetermined definite display mode with the lapse of the fluctuation time, and the symbol is further definitely displayed in a special definite display mode. In a gaming machine that causes a special gaming state in which the special winning means is operated in a predetermined mode based on the definite display, the fluctuation time is shorter than the first fluctuation time and the first fluctuation time. A second fluctuation time is set at least, and the control means adds a hold display body to a display position corresponding to the number of hold information in the effect display unit in accordance with the storage of the hold information. On the other hand, when reading the reserved information, the reserved display body corresponding to the reserved information to be read is moved to a predetermined digestion position in the effect display unit, or the corresponding digestion is performed according to the movement to the digestion position. While changing to a display body and moving the hold display body corresponding to the hold information not read this time to a new display position corresponding to the number of the hold display body, the hold display body has a plurality of types of display bodies. When the first game condition including that the fluctuation time is the first fluctuation time is satisfied, all the displayed objects are displayed after the reserved display body is moved to the new display position. The hold display body is set as a sign display mode, and at least one of the hold display bodies is displayed differently from the display body before the movement with the termination of the sign display mode or the sign display mode. When the second game condition including the change to the body and the fluctuation time being the second fluctuation time is satisfied, all the displayed objects are displayed after the reserved display body is moved to the new display position. At least among the reserved display bodies, without using the reserved display body as the predictive display mode. When the third gaming condition including the change from the display body before the movement to the other display body and the fluctuation time being the first fluctuation time is satisfied for one of the reserved display bodies. After moving the hold display body to the new display position, all the hold display bodies displayed are set to the sign display mode, but with the end of the sign display mode, all the hold display bodies are It is also conceivable to adopt the first configuration in which the display body before the movement is not changed.
Then, by adopting such a first configuration, when the first game condition is satisfied, the hold display body that is not the target of the change also has the same predictive display mode as the hold display body that is the target of the change. Become. Therefore, for the player, when the hold display body is in the sign display mode, it is not possible to determine which hold display body is the target of the change, and therefore which hold display body is the target of the change. It is possible to play the effect of being able to play with a sense of fun. That is, it is possible to achieve the effect of being able to provide a gaming machine that can provide a player with a novel game that cannot be experienced with a conventional gaming machine.

According to the present invention, there are a plurality of types of display bodies as the reserved display bodies, and when the predictive game conditions including the fact that the fluctuation time of the symbol is a predetermined fluctuation time are satisfied with the start of the fluctuation of the symbol, after moving to a new display position of the hold display body, as well as all pending display body which displays a predetermined sign display mode, when the Ru first game condition is met Tei, during pre trillion display mode or Upon termination of the predictive display mode, for at least one hold display body of the hold display body, while changing from the display body before moving to another display body, the Ru second game condition is met Tei, Table Although all the indicated reserved display bodies are set as the predictive display mode, all the reserved display bodies are not changed from the display bodies before the movement with the end of the predictive display mode. That is, when the first game condition is satisfied, the hold display body that is not the target of the change is also set to the predictive display mode like the hold display body that is the target of the change. Therefore, for the player, when the hold display body is in the sign display mode, it is not possible to determine which hold display body is the target of the change, and therefore which hold display body is the target of the change. You can also play with fun. On the other hand, there may be a gaming situation in which all the reserved display bodies have changed to the sign display mode, but none of them have changed to another type of display body. Therefore, it can be a gaming machine that can provide a player with a novel game that cannot be experienced by a conventional gaming machine.

Although omitted in FIG. 4, the main control board 31 is also connected to the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, and the like via the interface 35.

The storage means 33 includes an a counter used for an open lottery for whether or not to open the tulip-type electric accessory 17, a c counter (random number for determining a big hit) used for a big hit lottery, and a special symbol on the special symbol display unit 61. A plurality of d-counters (random numbers for determining the definite display mode) for determining the definite display mode, and e-counters (random numbers for determining the fluctuation time information) for determining the basic fluctuation pattern, which is mainly the fluctuation time of special symbols and decorative symbols. The counter is built-in. Each counter is a loop counter that counts loops while adding 1 each in a very short time (for example, 1 interrupt 2.000 ms) between predetermined numerical values according to a predetermined rule from the time when the power is turned on. The acquisition of the used numerical value can be regarded as the acquisition of the numerical value from the random number. The a counter is between 0 and 10 (11 ways), the c counter is between 0 and 300 (301 ways), the d counter is between 0 and 4 (5 ways), and the e counter is 0 to 0. Loop count is performed between 30 (31 ways). Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the a counter triggered by the passage detection of the gate member 20 of the game ball, and also triggers the winning detection of the starting winning opening 19 of the game ball and the tulip-type electric accessory 17. , C counter, d counter, and e counter, respectively, to obtain one numerical value (execute a jackpot lottery).

Further, the storage means 33 includes a special symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display unit 61, a definite display mode determination table in which the numerical value of the d counter and the definite display mode of the special symbol are associated with each other as shown in FIG. As shown, a basic fluctuation pattern determination table in which the numerical value of the e-counter and the basic fluctuation pattern are associated with each other is stored. This basic fluctuation pattern mainly defines the fluctuation time (time from the start of fluctuation to the final display) of the special symbol and the decorative symbol. Further, in the storage means 33, for example, when a game ball wins a prize in the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 while the special symbol is variablely displayed in the special symbol display unit 61, the c counter associated with the winning is obtained. , D counter, and e-counter are used as hold information, and a maximum of 4 (up to 8 in total) are stored in each of the start winning opening 19 and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 in a state of being distinguished. 36 is provided. In addition, the storage means 33 can transfer and store the reserved information stored in the reserved information storage area 36 one by one, and executes a jackpot determination such as whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot. A storage area 37 for determining a jackpot is provided. It should be noted that the hold information is in a predetermined order each time the special symbol and the decorative symbol are confirmed and displayed (in the pachinko machine 1, the hold information based on the prize of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is used as the prize for the start winning opening 19. It is sequentially transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37 and digested (digested with priority over the original reserved information), and new reserved information can be stored along with the digestion.

The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage means 43, a timer 44, an interface 45, and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 via the interface 45, and is also electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52. Then, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal related to the jackpot lottery (various commands and the like as described later) from the main control board 31 as described later, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device according to the content thereof, and controls the speaker 14 and the lamp. To control the operation of the member 15, the display operation of the decorative symbol on the effect display unit 6, the operation related to the change effect of the hold display body for changing from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body 72, etc. It has become.

Further, the storage means 43 includes a symbol storage area (not shown) for storing the decorative symbol to be displayed on the effect display unit 6, a detailed variable display mode of the decorative symbol, a character effect using a moving image of the character, and the like. A variation pattern storage area 46 for storing a plurality of detailed variation patterns including the above is provided, and various detailed variation patterns are stored in association with the basic variation pattern determined by the main control board 31 as shown in FIG. ing. Further, the storage means 43 is provided with a schedule information storage area 47 for storing schedule information as will be described later transmitted from the main control board 31.

Hereinafter, the basic game operation in the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described.
First, in the pachinko machine 1, when the game ball wins the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the winning is detected by the main CPU 32 (in the present embodiment, the winning of the game ball to the starting winning opening 19 is detected. The detection by the main CPU 32 satisfies the predetermined lottery conditions). Then, the main CPU 32 pays out a predetermined number (for example, 3) of game balls as prize balls, acquires one numerical value from each of the c counter, d counter, and e counter at the timing of winning detection, and further holds information. It is confirmed whether or not the number of reserved information stored in the storage area 36 has reached the maximum value. Then, when the number of pending information has already reached the maximum value, the numerical values acquired from the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter are deleted without being stored. On the other hand, if the maximum value is not reached, the numerical values acquired from the c counter, the d counter, and the e counter are stored in the hold information storage area 36, and the jackpot determination table set for each game state is referred to. The numerical value acquired from the c counter this time is a predetermined "big hit value (for example, in the big hit judgment table in the normal state, there is one of" 100 ", and in the big hit judgment table in the high probability state," 0 "," Whether or not it is "50", "100", "150", "200", "250", "300") "(that is, whether the result of the big hit lottery is" big hit " (Whether or not), the definite display mode of the special symbol based on the numerical value acquired from the d counter based on the judgment result related to the "big hit" (in the case of "big hit", the type of "big hit"), and " Based on the judgment result related to "big hit", what happens to the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the e-counter is once judged as a preliminary judgment in advance of the big hit judgment described later. Further, as a result of the preliminary determination, which of the starting winning opening 19 and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is the holding information associated with the winning of the main CPU 32, and which number of holding information is the main CPU 32 based on? Schedule information including the above is created and transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

Further, the main CPU 32 constantly confirms whether the symbol is variablely displayed or confirmedly displayed on the special symbol display unit 61, and confirms the presence or absence of the pending information when the symbol is confirmed and displayed. Then, when the reserved information exists, the reserved information having the highest priority to be digested (here, the previously stored reserved information) is transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37, and the following jackpot determination is executed for the reserved information. To do. That is, with reference to the jackpot determination table corresponding to the game state at the time when the reserved information is transferred to the jackpot determination storage area 37, the numerical value acquired from the c counter related to the reserved information is the predetermined “big hit numerical value”. That is, whether or not the result of the jackpot lottery is "big hit" or "missing" is determined. Further, when the result of the big hit lottery is "big hit" (the numerical value acquired from the c counter is the "big hit numerical value"), the numerical value acquired from the d counter corresponds to the definite display mode determination table shown in FIG. 5 (b). In addition to determining the final display mode of the special symbol, the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 6B is used to read out the basic variation pattern corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the e-counter (that is, the variation time of the symbol is determined). Determine the basic variation pattern to include). On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot lottery is "missing" (the numerical value acquired from the c counter is a numerical value other than the "big hit numerical value"), the acquired numerical value from the d counter is determined as shown in FIG. 5 (a). The fixed display mode of the special symbol is determined according to the table, and the basic variation pattern corresponding to the numerical value acquired from the e-counter is read out using the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 6A (that is, the symbol). Determine the basic fluctuation pattern including the fluctuation time).

After that, the main CPU 32 creates a start command including the result of the jackpot lottery (whether it is a "big hit" or "missing"), the confirmation display mode of the special symbol, and the type of the read basic fluctuation pattern. At the same time, the start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. In addition, the special symbol display unit 61 changes the special symbol in a predetermined manner, and starts timing by the timer 34. Then, when the fluctuation time of the symbol corresponding to the read basic variation pattern elapses, the special symbol is confirmed and displayed in the confirmation display mode based on the numerical value acquired from the d counter based on the result of the jackpot lottery, and the stop signal is displayed. A stop command including the above is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. Regarding the special symbol to be confirmed and displayed, for example, when the result of the big hit lottery is "big hit" and the numerical value acquired from the d counter is "0" to "2", it is regarded as "probability change big hit". In "7" which is a specific jackpot special symbol confirmed display mode (special confirmed display mode), when it is "big hit" and the numerical value acquired from the d counter is "3" or "4", " As "non-probability change jackpot", the non-specific jackpot special symbol definite display mode (special definite display mode) "2" is used for definite display. On the other hand, when the result of the big hit lottery is "out of place", it is confirmed and displayed by "-" which is the out of place confirmation display mode.

Further, when the result of the jackpot lottery is "big hit", the main CPU 32 notifies the start of the jackpot state, which is a special game state, after the confirmation display in the special confirmation display mode of the above special symbol, and the big prize. When a game ball wins a prize in the opened big prize device 18 by causing a big hit state consisting of intermittent opening of the device 18 for a predetermined number of times and an end demo notifying the end of the big hit state, the start winning opening 19 and the tulip type electric motor More game balls (for example, 10) are paid out as prize balls as compared with the case where the character 17 is won.

Further, when the jackpot state caused by the "probability variation jackpot" ends, the main CPU 32 determines that the jackpot lottery result is "big hit" (depending on the type) in the next jackpot determination after the jackpot state ends. Until the result is (not), the probability that the result of the jackpot lottery will be a "big hit" is improved as described above, and a high probability state is generated, the tulip type electric accessory 17 is likely to be opened, and the tulip type electric accessory is easily opened. 17 causes a support state in which it is open for a long period of time.
On the other hand, when the jackpot state caused by the "non-probability change jackpot" ends, only until the special symbol is confirmed and displayed a specific number of times (for example, 100 times) after the jackpot state ends. The tulip-type electric accessory 17 is likely to be in the open state, and the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is in the open state for a long period of time. The matter "until the result of the jackpot lottery becomes a" jackpot "in the next jackpot determination" may be realized, for example, by setting the specific number of times to 10,000.

Further, the opening / closing operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is also controlled by the main CPU 32, and when the game ball passes through the gate member 20, the passage is detected by the main CPU 32. Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the a counter (performs an open lottery) at the timing of passage detection, and the acquired numerical value from the a counter is a predetermined "open numerical value (for example, a support state has occurred). There are 10 ways of "0" to "9", and if the support state does not occur, there is only one way of "0") ". Then, when the numerical value acquired from the a counter is the "open numerical value", that is, the result of the open lottery is "winning", the tulip type electric accessory 17 is operated in a predetermined mode from the closed state to the open state. At this time, if the support state occurs, for example, a special opening operation such as a mode in which the open state is intermittently repeated three times for a longer time (2 seconds) than when the support state does not occur. The tulip type electric accessory 17 is operated in the embodiment. In addition, when the support state does not occur, the tulip is normally opened in a normal open operation mode, for example, for a shorter time (0.2 seconds) than when the support state occurs, and the tulip is opened only once. The type electric accessory 17 is operated. On the other hand, if the numerical value acquired from the a counter is not the "open numerical value", that is, the result of the open lottery is "missing", the tulip type electric accessory 17 is not operated in the closed state. Further, when the game ball passes through the gate member 20 during the operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the storage means 33 stores up to a predetermined number of a counter values acquired at the timing of the passage, as in the case of the above-mentioned hold information. At the same time, each time the operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is completed, the result of the open lottery is confirmed in the memorized order.

On the other hand, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives the schedule information, it stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47, and displays the hold display body (for example, the normal hold display body 71) of the type determined as described later on the effect display unit 6. To do. Further, when the start command is received, if the hold display body is displayed on the effect display unit 6, the hold display body corresponding to the received start command is deleted from the effect display unit 6 in a predetermined display mode. At the same time, the schedule information corresponding to the start command is read from the schedule information storage area 47, and the control related to the schedule information as described later is executed. Further, the information related to the result of the jackpot lottery included in the start command and the display mode of the decorative symbol to be finally confirmed and displayed according to the confirmed display mode of the special symbol are determined, and the information related to the basic variation pattern is used. The corresponding detailed variation pattern is read out from the variation pattern storage area 46, and the decorative symbol on the effect display unit 6 is variedly displayed according to the read detailed variation pattern while being timed by the timer 44. Then, upon receiving the stop command, the decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed on the effect display unit 6 in the display mode determined above. In other words, if the result of the jackpot lottery is "probability variation jackpot", in the specific jackpot decorative symbol display mode (for example, "7,7,7" or "3,3,3") in which three identical special decorative symbols are arranged side by side. When the final display is made and the result of the jackpot lottery is "non-probability variable jackpot", a non-specific jackpot decorative symbol display mode (for example, "2.2.2" or "" 4 ・ 4 ・ 4 ”) to confirm the display. If the result of the jackpot lottery is "missing", at least one of the three decorative symbols is confirmed and displayed in a different decorative symbol display mode (for example, "1 ・ 2 ・ 3") from the other two decorative symbols. Let me. The read schedule information is deleted from the schedule information storage area 47.

Further, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 causes the jackpot state, for example, during the start demonstration, the effect display unit 6 is used to notify the start of the jackpot state, and when the opening of the jackpot device 18 is started, The display effect on the effect display unit 6 corresponding to the type of "big hit" is read from the storage means 43, and the display operation on the effect display unit 6 is controlled. In addition, when the end demo is reached, the player is notified that the jackpot state will end by using the effect display unit 6.

Here, if the game by the player on the pachinko machine 1 is explained along the general flow, the player starts the game from the normal state in which the support state does not occur, and the handle 9 is rotated. Then, the launching device 10 is operated, the game ball is driven into the game area 16 through the launch passage 13, and the game ball is first aimed at winning the starting winning opening 19. Then, the result of the big hit lottery by the winning game ball becomes a "big hit", and when a big hit state occurs, the game ball is aimed at winning the big winning device 18 which is intermittently opened. Further, after the end of the jackpot state, while the support state is occurring, the game ball passes through the gate member 20, and the game ball to the tulip-type electric accessory 17 which is in the support state and is frequently opened. Aim for the prize. Then, after the end of the jackpot state caused by the "non-probability change jackpot", if the number of confirmed display times of the special symbol reaches a specific number without the result of the jackpot lottery being "big hit", the support state ends. It returns to the game aiming at winning the game ball to the start winning opening 19 again.

(Explanation of change effect of hold display)
Here, a change effect of the hold display body, which is a main part of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12.
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the effect display unit 6. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the scenario. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing the correspondence between the numerical value of the f counter and the type of scenario. FIG. 11 is a flowchart relating to the setting of the scenario. FIG. 12 is a flowchart relating to the execution of the change effect.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 generates the hold information accompanying the winning of the starting winning opening 19 (that is, receives the schedule information due to the winning of the starting winning opening 19), the effect display is displayed. An additional hold display body (for example, a normal hold display body 71, a first special hold display body 72, etc.) is additionally displayed at the lower left of the unit 6. In the additional display of the hold display body, if no hold display body is displayed (that is, there is no hold information related to winning the starting winning opening 19), the hold display body is held at the first display position P1 closest to the center. When one display body is displayed (that is, there is already one hold information related to winning the starting winning opening 19), the hold display body is displayed at the second display position P2 to the left of the first display position P1. When two are displayed (that is, there are already two hold information related to winning the starting winning opening 19), three hold display bodies are displayed at the third display position P3 to the left of the second display position P2. (That is, there are already three hold information related to winning the starting winning opening 19), and the hold display body is additionally displayed at the fourth display position P4 to the left of the third display position P3. Become.

On the other hand, when the hold information accompanying the winning of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is generated (that is, the schedule information due to the winning of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is received), the lower right of the effect display unit 6 is displayed. Add one special hold display. In the additional display of this special hold display body, if no special hold display body is displayed, the first special display body is displayed at the first special display position Q1 closest to the center. If two special hold display bodies are displayed in the second special display position Q2 to the right of the display position Q1, there are three special hold display bodies in the third special display position Q3 to the right of the second display position Q2. When one is displayed, a special hold display body is additionally displayed at the fourth special display position Q4 to the right of the third display position Q3.

Further, a digestion display area 65 is formed in the lower center of the effect display unit 6, and when a start command is received, a hold display body at the first display position P1 (or a special hold display at the first special display position Q1) is displayed. After moving the body) to the digestion display area 65, it is erased in the digestion display area 65 in a predetermined display mode (the pending display body is digested). Further, regarding the hold display body (or special hold display body) that is not digested this time, one is displayed toward the center side as the hold display body (or special hold display body) that is digested moves to the digestion display area 65. The position is moved (for example, when the hold display body is digested, the hold display body at the second display position or the third display position is moved to the first display position or the second display position, respectively). In addition, various hold display bodies, special hold display bodies, display modes related to the movement of their display positions, display modes related to digestion, and the like are stored in the hold effect storage area 48 provided in the storage means 43 of the sub control device 40. It is remembered. Further, reference numeral 66 denotes a decorative pattern that is varied / confirmedly displayed in the effect display unit 6.

Then, when various conditions as described later are satisfied in the normal state, the pachinko machine 1 changes the hold display body from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body 72 or the like on the effect display unit 6. Execute the change effect of the display body. The special character 76 used for the change effect of the hold display body, the moving image data of the hold display body, and the like are also stored in the hold effect storage area 48. In addition, whether or not to change the hold display body displayed on the effect display unit 6 and which change effect is used to change the hold display body are determined by using the acquisition of numerical values from random numbers similar to the jackpot lottery. The storage means 43 has an f counter (random number for determining a change pattern) that loop-counts between 0 and 99 (100 ways) at high speed, and a high speed, similar to the c counter used for the jackpot lottery. A g counter (random number for determining special effect) that loop counts between 0 and 9 (10 ways) is built-in. Further, in the hold effect storage area 48 of the storage means 43, a plurality of types of scenarios (change patterns) for changing the hold display body as shown in FIG. 9, a scenario determination table as shown in FIG. 10, and the like are also stored. Has been done.

First, the control related to the scenario determination of the change effect of the hold display body will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives the schedule information from the main CPU 32 in the normal state, it confirms whether or not the schedule information received this time is based on the winning of the start winning opening 19 (S1). As a result, when the received schedule information is based on the winning of the starting winning opening 19 (determined as YES in S1), one numerical value is acquired from the f counter, that is, the scenario lottery is executed (S2). Further, when the scenario lottery is executed, the acquired numerical value from the f counter is made to correspond to the scenario determination table shown in FIG. 10 based on the contents of the schedule information received this time, and the acquired numerical value corresponds to the scenario 1 to the scenario 7. It is confirmed whether or not it is a set numerical value, that is, it is determined whether or not the scenario lottery has been won (S3). As a result, if the value acquired from the f counter is the scenario setting value corresponding to scenarios 1 to 7, it is determined that the scenario lottery has been won (determined as YES in S3), and the scenario corresponding to the acquired value is selected this time. It is set in association with the received schedule information (S4), and the control related to the scenario determination according to the reception of the current schedule information is terminated. On the other hand, if the received schedule information is based on the winning of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 (determined as NO in S1), the reception of the next schedule information is waited without executing the above scenario lottery. In addition, when the scenario lottery is executed but the winner is not won (determined as NO in S3), the reception of the next schedule information is waited without setting the scenario.

Here, the contents of each scenario to be set will be described in detail.
In scenario 1, while the hold display body additionally displayed corresponding to the received schedule information is displayed at any of the second display positions P2 to the fourth display position P4, the hold display body is normally displayed in a white circle. When the display as the hold display body 71 is displayed and the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 due to the digestion of the hold information, the main of the hold display body is usually changed after the movement. The content is such that the hold display body 71 is changed to the first special hold display body 72. The first special hold display body 72 has the same shape as the normal hold display body 71, but the color is blue. Further, when scenario 1 is set in the received schedule information and additional display is performed at the first display position P1 when the hold display body corresponding to the schedule information is added, the first special is displayed instead of the normal hold display body 71. The hold display body 72 is directly additionally displayed (that is, the special character 76 as described later is not used).

In scenario 2, while the hold display body additionally displayed corresponding to the received schedule information is displayed at either the third display position P3 or the fourth display position P4, the hold display body is normally held. When the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the third display position P3 to the first display position P2 as the hold information is exhausted while displaying as 71, the type of the hold display body is changed to the normal hold display body 71 after the movement. After changing from to the first special hold display body 72 and moving the display position of the first special hold display body 72 from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 as the hold information is further digested, the first The content is such that the special hold display body 72 is displayed as it is. Further, when scenario 2 is set in the received schedule information and the hold display body corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1 or the second display position P2, the normal hold display body is normally displayed.

When the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the fourth display position P4 to the third display position P3, the type of the hold display body changes from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body 72 after the movement. Even after moving from the third display position P2 to the second display position P2, the first special hold display body 72 is displayed as it is, and the display position of the first special hold display body 72 is changed due to further digestion of the hold information. When the second display position P2 is moved to the first display position P1, the type of the hold display body is further changed from the first special hold display body 72 to the second special hold display body 73 after the movement. The second special hold display body 72 has the same shape as the normal hold display body 71, but the color is red. Further, when scenario 4 is set in the received schedule information and the hold display body corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1, the second special display body is not normally held and displayed. When the hold display body 73 is additionally displayed at the second display position P2 or the third display position P3, the first special hold display body 72 is directly additionally displayed instead of the normal hold display body 71.

In scenario 5, while the hold display body additionally displayed corresponding to the received schedule information is displayed at any of the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4, the hold display body is normally held. When the display position of the normal hold display body 71 is moved from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 as the hold information is exhausted while displaying as 71, the type of the hold display body is changed to the normal hold display body 71 after the movement. To the second special hold display body 73. Further, when scenario 5 is set in the received schedule information and the hold display body corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1, the second special display body is not normally held and displayed. The hold display body 73 is directly additionally displayed.

In scenario 6, when the hold display body is additionally displayed at either the third display position P3 or the fourth display position P4 in response to the received schedule information, the first special hold display body 72 is displayed instead of the normal hold display body 71. Is directly added and displayed, and the display position of the first special hold display body 72 is moved from the third display position P3 to the second display position P2 as the hold information is exhausted. The hold display body 72 was changed to the second special hold display body 73, and the display position of the second special hold display body 73 was moved from the second display position P2 to the first display position P1 as the hold information was further digested. After that, the content is such that the second special hold display body 73 is displayed as it is. Further, when scenario 6 is set in the received schedule information and the hold display body corresponding to the schedule information is additionally displayed at the first display position P1 or the second display position P2, the normal hold display body is normally displayed. The second special hold display body 73 is directly additionally displayed instead of 71.

In scenario 7, when the hold display body is additionally displayed in any of the first display positions P1 to the fourth display position P4 in response to the received schedule information, the second special hold display body 73 is displayed instead of the normal hold display body 71. Is directly added and displayed, and the second special hold display body 73 is displayed as it is until it is moved to the digestion display area 65.
Regarding the hold display body corresponding to the schedule information for which none of the scenarios 1 to 7 is set, the hold display body is set to any of the first display positions P1 to the fourth display position P4 according to the received schedule information. When the additional display is performed, the normal hold display body 71 is additionally displayed, and the normal hold display body 71 is displayed as it is until it is moved to the digestion display area 65.

Further, to elaborate on the selection of the scenario, it is assumed that the result of the jackpot lottery related to the schedule information received this time is "missing" and the basic fluctuation pattern is either the basic fluctuation pattern A1 or the basic fluctuation pattern A2. , Scenario 1 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "90" to "94", and scenario 2 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "95" to "99".

When the acquired value of is "99", the scenario 6 is set respectively, while when the acquired value from the f counter is any of "0" to "79", the scenario is not set. In addition, if the result of the jackpot lottery related to the schedule information received this time is "missing" and the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern D, the numerical values acquired from the f counter are "50" to "59". And scenario 1, scenario 2 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "60" to "69", and scenario 2 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "70" to "79". 3 is scenario 4 when the acquired value from the f counter is any of "80" to "84", and scenario 5 is when the acquired value from the f counter is any of "85" to "89". , Scenario 6 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "90" to "94", and scenario 7 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "95" to "99". On the other hand, if the value acquired from the f counter is any of "0" to "49", the scenario is not set.

On the other hand, if the result of the jackpot lottery related to the schedule information received this time is "big hit" and the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern B, the numerical values acquired from the f counter are "60" to "64". Scenario 1 is scenario 2 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "65" to "69", and scenario 3 is scenario 1 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "70" to "74". If the value acquired from the f-counter is any of "75" to "84", scenario 4 is performed, and if the value acquired from the f-counter is any of "85" to "94", scenario 5 is performed. Scenario 6 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "95" to "97", and scenario 7 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is either "98" or "99". On the other hand, if the value acquired from the f counter is any of "0" to "59", the scenario is not set. Further, if the result of the jackpot lottery related to the schedule information received this time is "big hit" and the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern C, the numerical values acquired from the f counter are "50" to "54". Scenario 1 is scenario 2 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "55" to "59", and scenario 3 is scenario 1 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "60" to "64". If the value acquired from the f-counter is any of "65" to "74", scenario 4 is performed, and if the value acquired from the f-counter is any of "75" to "84", scenario 5 is performed. Scenario 6 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "85" to "94", and scenario 7 is set when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "95" to "99". On the other hand, if the value acquired from the f counter is any of "0" to "49", the scenario is not set. Further, if the result of the jackpot lottery related to the schedule information received this time is "big hit" and the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern D, the numerical values acquired from the f counter are "30" to "34". Scenario 1 is scenario 2 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "35" to "39", and scenario 3 is scenario 1 when the value acquired from the f counter is any of "40" to "44". If the value acquired from the f counter is any of "45" to "54", scenario 4 is performed, and if the value acquired from the f counter is any of "55" to "64", scenario 5 is performed.

On the other hand, if the value acquired from the f counter is any of "0" to "29", the scenario is not set.

As described above, when the scenario lottery executed in response to the reception of the schedule information is won and any of the scenarios 1 to 7 is set, the normal hold display is displayed until the schedule information is digested. The body 71 may change to the first special hold display 72 or the second special hold display 73, or the first special hold display 72 or the second special hold display 73 may be additionally displayed instead of the normal hold display 71. The change effect of the hold display body such as is executed.

Next, the control related to the execution of the change effect in the effect display unit 6 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 12. When the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives the start command from the main CPU 32 in the normal state, the start received this time is started. It is confirmed whether or not the command is based on the winning of the starting winning opening 19 (S11). As a result, when the received start command is based on winning the start winning opening 19 (determined as YES in S11), the hold display body displayed at the first display position P1 is moved to the digestion display area 65. Then, the hold display bodies displayed in the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the display positions adjacent to the right one by one, and the schedule information stored in the schedule information storage area 47 is referred to. , Confirm the presence or absence of scheduled information to change the hold display body at the current display position (display position after movement) (S12). As a result, when the schedule information for changing the hold display body exists (determined as YES in S12), the basic fluctuation pattern related to the start command received this time is the basic fluctuation pattern A1 in which the fluctuation time of the symbol is shorter than the predetermined time. It is determined whether or not it is (S13). Then, if the basic fluctuation pattern related to the start command received this time is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1, that is, any of the basic fluctuation patterns A2 and B to D (determined as NO in S13), the special character 76 is used. The first change effect is executed (S14), and the corresponding normal hold display body 71 or first special hold display body 72 is changed to the first special hold display body 72 or the second special hold display body 73. In this first change effect, as the decorative symbols 66, 66 ... start to fluctuate, the special character 76 is moved along the lower edge of the effect display unit 6 from left to right, and the decorative symbol 66 is moved. , 66 ... After the reserved display body displayed at the first display position P1 to the third display position P3 is rotated and displayed (predictive display mode) at the timing when the special character 76 comes into contact with the special character 76, a predetermined value is displayed. It is stopped with the passage of a special time (a time sufficiently shorter than the fluctuation time of the symbol). Then, as the rotation display is in progress or stopped, the normal hold display body 71 or the first special hold display body 72 scheduled to be changed this time is changed to the first special hold display body 72 or the second special hold display body 73. In addition, for the hold display body that is not changed this time, the same hold display body as before the rotation display is displayed due to the stop. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the start command received in the normal state is based on the winning of the starting winning opening 19, and there is at least one scheduled information for changing the type of the reserved display body at the current display position. Further, when executing the change effect, the predetermined effect condition is satisfied when the basic variation pattern related to the received start command is not the basic variation pattern A1 (in other words, the variation time of the symbol is equal to or longer than the predetermined variation time). It will be done. Further, even if the normal hold display body 71 or the like is newly additionally displayed immediately after the start of fluctuation or the like, the newly additionally displayed normal hold display body 71 is not set as a sign display mode.

On the other hand, if the basic fluctuation pattern related to the start command received this time is the basic fluctuation pattern A1 (determined to be YES in S13), the second change effect without using the special character 76 is executed (S15), and the corresponding normal hold is performed. The display body 71 or the first special hold display body 72 is changed to the first special hold display body 72 or the second special hold display body 73. In this second change effect, the normal hold display body 71 or the first special hold display is displayed without displaying the special character 76 as described above or rotating the hold display body as the decorative pattern starts to change. The body 72 is changed to the first special hold display body 72 or the second special hold display body 73.

Further, as a result of the confirmation in S12, even if it is determined that there is no schedule information for changing the hold display body (determined as NO in S12), the basic fluctuation pattern related to the start command received this time is the basic fluctuation pattern A1. It is determined whether or not there is (S16). Then, if the basic fluctuation pattern related to the start command received this time is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1 (determined as NO in S16), one numerical value is acquired from the g counter, that is, a special character lottery is executed (S17). Further, when the special character lottery is executed, it is confirmed whether or not the acquired numerical value is "0 (special numerical value)", that is, it is determined whether or not the special character lottery is won (S18). Then, when the acquired numerical value from the g counter is "0" and the special character lottery is won (determined as YES in S18), the special character effect using the special character 76 is executed (S19). In this special character effect, as in the first change effect, the special character 76 is moved from left to right along the lower edge of the effect display unit 6 as the decorative symbols 66, 66 ... start to fluctuate. At the same time, the hold display bodies displayed at the first display positions P1 to the third display positions P3 are rotated and displayed at the timing when the special character 76 comes into contact with each other, and then stopped as a predetermined special time elapses. is there. However, none of the hold display bodies change, and after the stop, the same hold display body as before the rotation is displayed.

Then, with the execution of the first change effect, the second change effect, and the special character effect, the control related to the execution of the change effect in response to the reception of the start command this time is terminated. In addition, the received start command is based on winning a prize in the tulip-type electric accessory 17 (determined as NO in S1), there is no hold display body to be changed this time, and the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern A1. If there is (determined YES in S16) or not won in the special character lottery (determined NO in S18), the next start command is received without executing the change effect or special character effect. Wait for.

Here, the change effect of the hold display body will be described along with the actual flow of the game based on FIGS. 13 to 16. First, in a state where three hold display bodies M1 to M3 (all normal hold display bodies 71) are displayed (that is, three schedule information are stored) at the first display position P1 to the third display position P3 (that is, three schedule information is stored). When a game ball newly wins a prize in the start winning opening 19 while the decorative symbols 66, 66 ... Are displayed in a variable manner in FIG. 13A), schedule information is transmitted from the main CPU 32 to the sub-integrated CPU 42 due to the winning. To. Further, it is assumed that the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the scenario lottery under the control as described above upon receiving the schedule information, and here, the scenario 4 is set. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 additionally displays the normal hold display body 71 as the hold display body M4 at the fourth display position P4 according to the scenario 4 (FIG. 13 (b)). Then, when the stop command is received, the decorative symbols 66, 66 ... Are confirmed and displayed (FIG. 13 (c)), and when the next start command is received, the hold display body M1 displayed at the first display position P1 is displayed. The reserved display bodies M2 to M4 displayed at the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the digestion display area 65 to the first display position P1 to the third display position P3, respectively, and the decorative symbol 66, 66 ... Starts to fluctuate. Further, according to the scenario 4, the hold display body M4 moved to the third display position P3 is changed from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body 72, so that the change is made under the control as described above. Decide which change production to make the production. And here, the basic fluctuation pattern is the basic fluctuation pattern A1. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 selects the second change effect and moves the hold display body M4 moved to the third display position P3 from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body without causing the special character 76 or the like to appear. Change to 72 (FIG. 14 (a)).

Further, if a game ball newly wins a prize in the start winning opening 19 during the variable display of the decorative symbols 66, 66 ..., Schedule information is transmitted from the main CPU 32 to the sub-integrated CPU 42 due to the winning. Therefore, it is assumed that the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the scenario lottery upon receiving the schedule information, and here the scenario 6 is set. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 additionally displays the first special hold display body 72 as the hold display body M5 at the fourth display position P4 according to the scenario 6 (FIG. 14 (b)). Then, when the stop command is received, the decorative symbols 66, 66 ... Are confirmed and displayed (FIG. 14 (c)), and when the next start command is received, the hold display body M2 displayed at the first display position P1 is displayed. The reserved display bodies M3 to M5 displayed at the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the digestion display area 65 to the first display position P1 to the third display position P3, respectively, and the decorative symbol 66, 66 ... Starts to fluctuate. Further, when the game ball wins the start winning opening 19 during the fluctuation display, the schedule information is transmitted from the main CPU 32 to the sub-integrated CPU 42 due to the winning. Then, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the scenario lottery upon receiving the schedule information, and it is assumed that the scenario 1 is set here. Then, according to the scenario 1, the sub-integrated CPU 42 additionally displays the normal hold display body 71 as the hold display body M6 at the fourth display position P4 (FIG. 15A).

Then, when the stop command is received, the decorative symbols 66, 66 ... Are confirmed and displayed (FIG. 15 (b)), and when the next start command is received, the hold display body M3 displayed at the first display position P1 is displayed. The reserved display bodies M4 to M6 displayed in the second display position P2 to the fourth display position P4 are moved to the digestion display area 65 to the first display position P1 to the third display position P3, respectively, and the decorative symbol 66, The fluctuation of 66 ... is started (Fig. 15 (c)). At this time, according to the scenario 4, the hold display body M4 moved to the first display position P1 is changed from the first special hold display body 72 to the second special hold display body 73, and according to the scenario 6, the hold display body M4 is moved to the second display position P2. Since the moved hold display body M5 is changed from the first special hold display body 72 to the second special hold display body 73, it is determined which change effect is to be the change effect under the control as described above. .. Then, here, it is assumed that the basic fluctuation pattern is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1. Therefore, the sub-integrated CPU 42 selects the first change effect, moves the special character 76 across the lower edge of the effect display unit 6 from left to right, and displays the first display positions P1 to 3 The hold display bodies M4 to M6 displayed at the position P3 are rotated and displayed at the timing when the special character 76 comes into contact with the special character 76 (FIG. 16A). After that, when a predetermined special time elapses, the hold display bodies M4 to M6 are stopped, and at that time, the hold display bodies M4 and M5 are changed from the first special hold display body 72 to the second special hold display body 73 (FIG. 16 (b)). Further, since the hold display body M6 is changed at the first display position P1 and is not changed at the third display position P3, it is displayed as the normal hold display body 71 which is the same as before the rotation even after the stop.
After that, the hold display bodies M4, M5, and M6 are similarly moved to the digestion display area 65, and the hold display body M6 is moved to the first display position P1. During the variable display, the game proceeds in a flow of changing from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body 72 by the first change effect or the second change effect.

(Effect of the pachinko machine of this embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 having the above configuration, when the predetermined effect conditions are satisfied, all the reserved display bodies displayed on the effect display unit 6 at the start of the fluctuation of the decorative symbols 66, 66 ... In addition to rotating the display, the first change effect is executed in which only the hold display that is the target of the change specified in the scenario is changed to a different type of hold display from the one before the rotation display when the rotation display is in progress or stopped. .. Therefore, as compared with the conventional one in which the production is performed only for the changing hold display body, the player can play the game with interest even as to which hold display body changes. That is, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with high playability, which can provide the player with a novel game that cannot be experienced by the conventional pachinko machine.

In addition, even if there is no hold display that is scheduled to change, a special character lottery is executed if the fluctuation time of the symbol is longer than the predetermined time by referring to the start command, and if the special character lottery is won, the display for production is displayed. A special character effect is executed in which the hold display body displayed in the part 6 is rotated and displayed. That is, even if there is no hold display body to be changed, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the display mode of all the hold display bodies displayed is set to the predictive display mode. Therefore, when the hold display body is rotated and displayed, the mode of changing the type of the hold display body becomes more complicated, and the game playability can be further improved.

Further, the start command received in the normal state is based on the winning of the start winning opening 19, and there are a plurality of scheduled information for changing the type of the hold display body at the current display position, and further the change effect is executed. When a predetermined game condition is satisfied such that the basic variation pattern related to the received start command is not the basic variation pattern A1, the types of the plurality of reserved display bodies change at once. Therefore, for the player, it is possible to experience an unprecedented gaming situation in which a plurality of reserved display bodies are changed to different types of display bodies. Then, when the type of the hold display body changes from the normal hold display body 71 to the first special hold display body 72 or the second special hold display body 73, there is a possibility that a jackpot state may occur when the hold display body is digested. Since the price is higher, the player can play with expectation for the result of the jackpot lottery for a plurality of reserved information. Therefore, it is possible to provide a novel playability that is not provided in the conventional gaming machine, which can be expected only for one reserved information.

(About a modified example of the present invention)
The configuration of the gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the gist of the present invention is not only the configuration of the entire gaming machine but also the configuration of controlling changes in the holding display. It can be changed as needed within the range that does not deviate from.

For example, in the above embodiment, three types of hold display bodies, a normal hold display body, a first special hold display body, and a second special hold display body, are used as the hold display body, but two types may be used. There is no problem even if it is configured to use four or more types of hold display bodies. Further, in the above embodiment, only the color is different between the first special hold display body and the second special hold display body and the normal hold display body, but at least one of the color, shape, and size is different. Just do it.
Further, in the above embodiment, only four types of basic fluctuation patterns A to D are set, but there is no problem even if four or more types of basic fluctuation patterns are set, and eight or more types of scenarios are set as scenarios. It may be stored in a storage means, or conversely, only 6 or less types of scenarios may be stored, and the content of each scenario can be changed as appropriate.

Further, the correspondence between the numerical value acquired from the f counter and the scenario determination table is not limited to that of the above embodiment, the correspondence between the numerical value of the f counter and each scenario is different, or the content of the scenario is different. There is no problem even if a plurality of types of scenario determination tables that are different are set in advance and the scenario determination tables to be associated with each other are different according to the number of pending information (scheduled information).
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the display mode of the hold display body is changed to the predictive display mode such as rotation display, a special display body is introduced, but the display mode of the hold display body is not introduced. May be used as a sign display mode. In addition, as a sign display mode, it is naturally possible to adopt a display mode other than the rotation display (for example, blinking, expanding / contracting, moving up / down / left / right, etc.).

Further, as for the sign display mode, it is natural that a different sign display mode may be set for each type of the hold display body (for example, when the normal hold display body rotates and when the first special hold display body rotates). There is no problem even if a plurality of patterns of a sign display mode having a high expectation of change and a sign display mode having a low expectation of change are set.
In addition, it goes without saying that the conditions under which the hold display body is set to the predictive display mode, that is, the contents of the game conditions and the effect conditions, can be changed as appropriate. For example, in addition to the conditions of the above-described embodiment. , When the basic fluctuation pattern is not the basic fluctuation pattern A1, the predictive lottery is executed, and only when the predictive lottery is won, the hold display body is set to the predictive display mode or a special display body is made to appear. Is also possible.

Further, in the above embodiment, the change pattern of the hold display body and which change effect is used to change the hold display body are separately determined, but the content such as which change effect is used to change may be incorporated in each scenario.
In addition, when conducting a scenario lottery, the contents of the schedule information that has already been stored are confirmed, and if there is schedule information for which the result of the jackpot lottery is "big hit", the scenario lottery is configured so as not to be executed, that is, the scenario lottery. It is also possible to set some conditions for the execution of.

Further, in the above embodiment, two types of change effects, a first change effect for displaying a special character and a second change effect for not displaying the special character, are executed as the change effect of the hold display body. However, for example, a change effect in which the movement of the special character is different, a change effect in which another special character is displayed, or the like may be executed. Then, which change effect is to be executed may be determined by lottery as in the above embodiment.
Furthermore, when a plurality of reserved display bodies are changed by one change effect, a specific change effect to be selected / executed may be set. It should be noted that the execution of a specific change effect does not necessarily mean that a plurality of reserved display bodies are changed at one time, and even when only one reserved display body is changed or none of the reserved display bodies is changed. Be able to select and execute a specific change effect. Then, when such a specific change effect is set, the player can be expected to change a plurality of hold display bodies when the specific change effect is executed, and the player's interest can be further improved. Can be done.

Further, in the above embodiment, the scenario is determined based on the basic fluctuation pattern included in the schedule information, but in general, the fluctuation time of the symbol changes according to the number of reserved information and the like, and a jackpot determination is made. Of course, it is also possible to determine the scenario based on the information related to the fluctuation time of the symbol, not the basic fluctuation pattern itself.
Furthermore, the timing at which the change effect of the hold display body is performed may be between the start of the change of the decorative symbol and the final display, and is limited to immediately after the start of the change of the decorative symbol of the above embodiment. Absent.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the change effect of the hold display body is executed only for the hold display body for winning the starting winning opening, but the hold display body for winning the tulip type electric accessory is the hold display body. The change effect may be executed, or the change effect of the hold display body may be executed in the supported state.
Further, depending on the game state, the hold display body of the target to be set to the sign display mode or the type may be changed may be different. For example, in the normal state, only the hold display body corresponding to the winning of the starting winning opening is set to the sign display mode or the type is changed, while in the support state, the holding display body corresponding to the winning of the tulip type electric accessory (above). It is also possible to configure the sign display mode or change the type only for the special hold display body (in the embodiment).
In addition, in the above embodiment, the reserved display body at the first display position is moved to the digestion position as it is, but it may be enlarged or reduced when it is moved to the digestion position, and is usually used. Separately set the digestion display body corresponding to the hold display body and the digestion display body corresponding to the special hold display body, and change from the normal hold display body to the digestion display body corresponding to the normal hold display body when moving to the digestion position. You may let it.

Further, in the above embodiment, the start command and the stop command are transmitted from the main control device to the sub control device, but the stop command is not transmitted by using the timer of the sub control device or the like. There is no problem.
Further, in the above embodiment, the main control device and the sub control device are separately controlled, but the main control device may be used for control. There is no problem even if a special display body, scenario, f counter, g counter, etc. are provided in the storage means of the control device, and when controlling with one main control device, it is necessary to create a start command, schedule information, etc. Absent. Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko machine uses two types of symbols, a special symbol and a decorative symbol, but a pachinko machine using only the special symbol may be used, or the special symbol display unit may be inside the effect display unit. It may be provided at another position such as a center member or the like in the gaming area. In addition, regarding the basic fluctuation pattern determination table, multiple types of basic fluctuation pattern determination tables having different correspondences with the numerical values of the e-counter and the contents of the basic fluctuation patterns are set, and the correspondence is made according to the number of pending information and the game state. Of course, it is also possible to configure the basic fluctuation pattern determination table to be different.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it is assumed that numerical values are acquired from three counters, a c counter, a d counter, and an e counter, as a jackpot lottery, but it is also possible to correspond with only one counter, or two counters. Alternatively, it is of course possible to configure the numerical value to be acquired from four or more counters. The random number as the lottery means can be either a soft random number or a hard random number.
Furthermore, it is of course possible to configure the so-called time saving state to occur together with the support state after the end of the jackpot state.

In addition, although the pachinko machine which is an example of the gaming machine is described in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is naturally applicable to other gaming machines such as an enclosed pachinko machine.
It should be noted that all the elements described in the claims, the specification and the drawings (for example, the control means, the symbol display unit, the special winning means, the display unit for production, etc.) are clearly described to consciously limit the number. As long as there is no such thing, it may be physically single or plural, and the arrangement may be changed as appropriate. In addition, the element names (names given to the elements) used in the claims and specifications are merely given for convenience in the description of this case, which may give rise to a special meaning. I am not particularly conscious of. That is, the element name alone does not limit the interpretation of what the element is. For example, the "control means" may be a single hardware or a software. Furthermore, whether a plurality of elements among all the elements are appropriately integrally configured or one element is divided into a plurality of elements is not specified unless it is specified in the claims or the like. All of these are matters that can be considered extremely easily by those skilled in the art. Therefore, simply adopting a gaming machine having a structural difference within such a range because it is not described in the present embodiment does not mean that the right according to the present invention has been circumvented. .. The same applies to differences in the configuration and shape of each element, which can be easily considered by those skilled in the art from this embodiment.
