Is controlled, and control information is output to the effect control board 23.

As shown in FIG. 6, each of the illustrated means 40 to 46, 52 to 55, 60 is configured mainly by a computer of the game control board 21.

The random number updating means 40 includes a jackpot random number for determining whether or not to perform a special game, a jackpot symbol random number for determining a jackpot symbol, a reach random number for determining whether or not to reach a reach state, and a special symbol. The fluctuation pattern random numbers for determining the fluctuation pattern (fluctuation time) of are sequentially updated every minute time within the set range.

The symbol information acquisition means 41 is a jackpot random number updated by the random number updating means 40 when the acquisition condition is satisfied when the first special symbol holding number is less than 4 when the game ball wins the first starting port 10. The jackpot symbol random number, reach random number, and fluctuation pattern random number are acquired as a set of first special symbol information, and are acquired when the number of reserved second special symbols is less than 4 when the game ball wins the second starting port 11a. When the condition is satisfied, the jackpot random number, the jackpot symbol random number, the reach random number, and the fluctuation pattern random number updated by the random number updating means 40 are acquired as a set of second special symbol information.

The special symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 is stored (held) in the special symbol information storage means 42, and the number of the first special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is the first special symbol hold. The number becomes the number, and the number of the second special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 becomes the second special symbol hold number.

The start condition is satisfied when the first and second special symbols are in the variable stop state and any one of the first and second special symbol hold numbers is 1 or more, and the start condition is held each time the start condition is satisfied. The special symbol information is sequentially subjected to the determination by the special symbol information determination means 43 one by one, and is erased (pending digestion) from the special symbol information storage means 42. Here, when a plurality of special symbol information is reserved, the plurality of special symbol information are reserved and digested for the determination in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41, except that the first and second special symbol information are reserved. When both of the special symbol information is reserved, the second special symbol information is prioritized over the first special symbol information and is put on hold for the determination.

In the special symbol information determining means 43, whether or not the jackpot determining means 43a performs a special game (big hit game) advantageous to the player based on the jackpot random number of the special symbol information held and digested by the establishment of the starting condition. When the big hit determination means 43a determines that the special game is not performed, the symbol determination means 43b determines (determines) the lost symbol, and when the big hit determination means 43a determines that the special game is to be performed. The jackpot symbol is determined (determined) based on the jackpot symbol random number of the special symbol information.

Specifically, first, the jackpot determining means 43a determines whether or not to perform a special game based on the jackpot random number by using either a low probability table or a high probability table as the jackpot determination table shown in FIG. .. When "Low accuracy / non-time saving state" or "Low accuracy / time saving state" is set, the jackpot random number is about 1/400 of the jackpot specific value (3,247 ...) using the low probability table. If it matches any of them, it is judged that a special game is to be performed, and when the "high accuracy / time saving state" is set, the jackpot random number is about 1/68 of the jackpot specific value (3, 3,) using the high accuracy table. If any of 7, ...) is matched, it is determined that a special game is to be performed.

When it is determined that the special game is to be performed, the symbol determination means 43b then selects one of a plurality of types of jackpot symbols (big hit symbols A to E shown in FIG. 8) based on the jackpot symbol random numbers. decide. In this case, when the special symbol information is the first special symbol information, the type of the jackpot symbol is determined by the selection rate defined by the first symbol determination table shown in FIG. 8, and the special symbol information is the second special. In the case of symbol information, the type of jackpot symbol is determined by the selectivity defined by the second symbol determination table shown in FIG. Then, depending on the type of the determined jackpot symbol, the opening / closing pattern of the jackpots 13a and 14a during the special game is determined.

When the special symbol information determination means 43 determines that the special game is not performed based on the jackpot random number of the special symbol determination information by the jackpot determination means 43a, the reach determination means 43c is based on the reach random number of the special symbol information. To determine whether or not to reach the reach state.

In the special symbol information determination means 43, the variation pattern determination means 43d is any one of the jackpot determination means 43a based on the special symbol determination information and the determination result (determined lost symbol, jackpot symbol A to E) by the symbol determination means 43b. ), The determination result (whether or not to reach the reach state) by the reach determination means 43c, the variation pattern random number of the special symbol determination information, and the like, the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol is determined (determined).

The special symbol display control means 44 started the variable display of the first special symbol when the first special symbol information was suspended and digested due to the establishment of the start condition, and the second special symbol information was suspended and digested. The fluctuation display of the second special symbol is started, and after the fluctuation time and the special symbol determined by the fluctuation pattern determination means 43d are variablely displayed, the jackpot determination means 43a and the symbol are displayed. The determination symbol (either the lost symbol or the jackpot symbols A to E) indicating the determination result by the determination means 43b is stopped and displayed.

When the special game execution means 45 is determined to perform a special game by the jackpot determination means 43a, the special symbol display control means 44 determines the determination symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the jackpot symbol A determined by the symbol determination means 43b. After any of ~ E is stopped and displayed, the big winning openings 13a and 14a are opened and closed in an open pattern according to the type of the big hit symbol to perform a special game. As shown in FIG. 9, the opening / closing patterns of the big winning openings 13a and 14a are set as shown in the figure according to the type of the big hit symbol.

In the special games A to E corresponding to the jackpot symbols A to E, in each of them, the R game (“R” is a round) in which either one of the first and second big winning openings 13a and 14a is operated in the open state. (Meaning) is performed 16R (16 times), and specifically, the interval time (2 seconds) in which both the first and second major winning openings 13a and 14a between Rs are closed is set to 1R to 4R. At each R of 6R to 15R, a normal R for operating the first special winning opening 13a in the open state is performed, and at each R of 5R and 16R, a specific R for operating the second large winning opening 14a in the open state is performed.

In the special game A showing 7R long-term opening + 9R short-term opening shown in FIG. 9 (1), each R of 1R to 4R and 6R to 8R is long-term opening and each other R is short-term opening, as shown in FIG. 9 (2). In the special games B and C where 8R long-term opening + 8R short-term opening, each R of 1R to 8R becomes long-term opening and each other R becomes short-term opening, and the special 16 long-term opening shown in FIGS. 9 (3) and 9 (4). In games D and E, each R of 1R to 16R is open for a long period of time.

R, which is open for a long period of time, is started by opening either of the large winning openings 13a and 14a, and the first specified number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the prize, or the first specified time (for example, for example). After 30 seconds), either of the open large winning openings 13a and 14a is closed and ended, while the short-term opening R is started by opening either of the large winning openings 13a and 14a. , A second specified number (for example, 10) of game balls wins there, or when the second specified time (for example, 0.1 second) elapses, either of the open large winning openings 13a and 14a It is closed and terminated.

In the special game D, in the long-term opening of the 9th round, the short-term opening (opening for 0.1 seconds) of the first large winning opening 13a is performed eight times at 2-second intervals, and then the first large winning opening 13a is opened for a long period of time. Therefore, the opening and closing pattern until the 16th round of the special games B and C is completed and the opening and closing pattern until the 8th short-term opening of the 9th round of the special game D is completed are the same in appearance.

Special game A (7R long-term opening + 9R) by launching the game ball with a so-called right-handed hit that can aim at the big winning openings 13a and 14a (the game ball flows down the right side of the center accessory 16 in the game area 4a) Approximately 875 game balls can be obtained in the short-term opening), about 1000 game balls can be obtained in the special games B and C (8R long-term opening + 8R short-term opening), and about 1000 game balls can be obtained in the special games D and E (16 long-term opening). You can get 2000 game balls.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10 (1), in the specific R (5th R / 16R) which is a short-term opening, one second after the start of the short-term opening of the second large winning opening 14a for 0.1 seconds, The specific area 14e is opened and closed one second after the opening, so that it is extremely unlikely that the game ball will win the second large winning opening 14a and further pass through the specific area 14e.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10 (2), in the specific R (5th R / 16R) which is a long-term opening, the second large winning opening 14a is opened once for 0.1 seconds and then the long-term opening is performed. At the same time, one second after the start of the short-term opening of the second large winning opening 14a for 0.1 seconds, the specific area 14e is opened and closed with the end of the long-term opening of the second large winning opening 14a. There is an extremely high possibility that the game ball wins the second large winning opening 14a and further passes through the specific area 14e.

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a "high accuracy / time saving state" is set after the end of the special game on condition that the game ball passes through the specific area 14e during the execution of the special game. After the end of the special game A in which all the specific Rs are open for a short period of time, the "high accuracy / time saving state" is not set, and after the end of the special games B to E in which at least one specific R is open for a long period of time, the "high accuracy / time saving state" is not set. "Probability / time saving state" is set.

The pre-determination means 46 specifically acquires the special symbol information by the symbol information acquisition means 41 before the special symbol information stored in the special symbol information storage means 42 is determined by the special symbol information determination means 43. When this is done, the special symbol information is determined to be equivalent to the determination by the special symbol information determination means 43 (big hit determination means 43a, symbol determination means 43b, reach determination means 43c, variation pattern determination means 43d) (that is, Judgment as to whether or not to perform a special game, determination of a lost symbol, any of jackpot symbols A to E, determination of whether or not to reach a reach state, determination of a variation pattern of a special symbol) is performed in advance.

On the other hand, the random number updating means 40 sequentially updates the hit random number for determining whether or not to perform the auxiliary game every minute time within the set range. When the game ball passes through the gate 12, the symbol information acquisition means 41 satisfies the acquisition condition when the normal symbol hold number is less than 4, and acquires the hit random number updated by the random number updating means 40 as the normal symbol information. do. The normal symbol information acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41 is stored (held) in the normal symbol information storage means 52, and the number of normal symbol information stored in the normal symbol information storage means 52 is the normal symbol hold number.

A start condition is satisfied when the normal symbol is in a variable stop state and the number of normal symbol reservations is 1 or more. It is erased (held erased) from the normal symbol information storage means 52 in accordance with the determination by 53. Here, when a plurality of ordinary symbol information is reserved, the plurality of ordinary symbol information are reserved and digested for the determination in the order acquired by the symbol information acquisition means 41.

The ordinary symbol information determining means 53 determines whether or not to perform an auxiliary game that is advantageous to the player, based on the ordinary symbol information that has been reserved and digested due to the establishment of the starting condition. The normal symbol display control means 54 starts the variable display of the normal symbol when the normal symbol information is suspended and digested due to the establishment of the start condition, and then the determination symbol showing the determination result by the normal symbol information determination means 53. Is stopped and displayed. When the auxiliary game executing means 55 is determined by the ordinary symbol information determining means 53 to perform the auxiliary game, the ordinary symbol display control means 54 stops and displays the determination symbol indicating the determination result, that is, the hit symbol. The second starting port 11a is opened and closed to perform an auxiliary game.

As shown in FIG. 11, "low accuracy / non-time saving state" ("low operation mode") is set for specific processing of the normal symbol information determination means 53, the normal symbol display control means 54, and the auxiliary game execution means 55. If this is the case, it is determined that the auxiliary game will be performed at a rate of about 1/10, the normal symbol will be displayed in a variable manner for 12 seconds, and the second starting port 11a will be opened once for 0.1 seconds in the auxiliary game. On the other hand, when "low accuracy / time saving state" or "high accuracy / time saving state" ("high operation mode") is set, it is determined that the auxiliary game is performed at a rate of about 10/10. The normal symbol is fluctuated for 0.5 seconds, and the second starting port 11a is opened for 2.0 seconds three times in the auxiliary game.

The game state control means 60 selectively sets any one of a plurality of game states (“low accuracy / non-time saving state”, “low accuracy / time saving state”, “high accuracy / time saving state” shown in FIG. 12). Then, the game is controlled in the game state. When the power is turned on, the gaming state that was set when the power was turned off last time is continuously set, and when the so-called RAM clear is executed when the power is turned on, the "low accuracy / non-time saving state" is set.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the "low probability / non-time saving state" or the "low probability / time saving state" is set, the probability that the jackpot determination means 43a will perform the special game is set to a low probability. , When "High accuracy / time saving state" is set, it is set to high probability. Further, when the "low accuracy / non-time saving state" is set as the second starting port operating mode for operating the second starting port 11a, it is difficult to operate the second starting port 11a in the open state "low operating mode". Is set, and when "low accuracy / time saving state" or "high accuracy / time saving state" is set, a "high operation mode" that makes it easy to operate the second starting port 11a in the open state is set.

The game state control means 60 sets a "low probability / non-time saving state" when a special game is being performed by the special game execution means 45, and as shown in FIG. 13, the second big winning opening On condition that the game ball that has won 14a has passed through the specific area 14e (that is, V has won), a "high accuracy / time saving state" is set after the end of the special game, and then a special symbol display is displayed. When the number of fluctuations of the special symbol in 19a and 19b exceeds 150 times, the setting is changed from "high accuracy / time saving state" to "low accuracy / non-time saving state". Further, when the special game is being performed by the special game executing means 45, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area 14e (that is, no V prize is awarded), a "low accuracy / time saving state" is obtained after the end of the special game. After that, when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol exceeds 100 times, the setting is changed from "low accuracy / time saving state" to "low accuracy / non-time saving state".

Here, the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 14 (1), the types of fluctuation patterns of the special symbol are roughly classified into a jackpot fluctuation pattern, a loss fluctuation pattern, and a reach loss fluctuation pattern. For example, as shown in FIGS. 14 (1) and 14 (2). The jackpot fluctuation pattern includes fluctuation patterns 1 to 4, the loss fluctuation pattern includes fluctuation patterns 11 to 13, and the reach loss fluctuation pattern includes fluctuation patterns 14 to 17, respectively. It should be noted that the jackpot fluctuation patterns 1 to 4, the loss fluctuation patterns 11 to 13, and the reach loss fluctuation patterns 14 to 17 have different fluctuation times specified respectively.

When the variable pattern determining means 43d is determined to perform a special game by the jackpot determining means 43a, that is, when it becomes a "big hit", the variation pattern determining means 43d is based on the type of the jackpot symbol determined by the symbol determining means 43b and the variation pattern random number. , Any one of the fluctuation patterns 1 to 4 is determined. If the jackpot determination means 43a determines that the special game is not performed, that is, if the game is "lost", or if the reach determination means 43c determines that the special game is not performed, the number of special symbol reservations and the current game If any of the fluctuation patterns 11 to 13 is determined based on the state (in some cases, the fluctuation pattern random number) and the reach determination means 43c determines that the reach state is to be reached, the fluctuation pattern random number is determined. The reach loss variation pattern of any of the variation patterns 14 to 17 is determined based on the above.

In the case of a "big hit", the fluctuation pattern 2 is more easily determined than the fluctuation pattern 1, the fluctuation pattern 3 is more easily determined than the fluctuation pattern 2, and the fluctuation pattern 4 is more easily determined than the fluctuation pattern 3. You may do so. Further, in the case of "loss", the fluctuation pattern 16 is more than the fluctuation pattern 17, the fluctuation pattern 15 is more than the fluctuation pattern 16, and the fluctuation pattern 14 is more than the fluctuation pattern 15. Any of the fluctuation patterns 11 to 13 may be easier to determine than 14.

In the loss fluctuation pattern, the fluctuation pattern 11 (normal) can be determined when the number of reserved first special symbols is 2 or less when the first special symbol fluctuates in the “low accuracy / non-time saving state”. The fluctuation pattern 12 (time reduction) has a shorter fluctuation time specified than the fluctuation pattern 11 (normal), and when the first special symbol fluctuates in the "low accuracy / non-time reduction state", the number of 1st special symbol reservations is 3. In the above cases, or when the second special symbol fluctuates in the "low accuracy / non-time saving state", or when the second special symbol fluctuates in the "low accuracy / time saving state" or "high accuracy / time saving state". It can be determined when the number of 2nd special symbol reservations is 2 or more. The fluctuation pattern 13 (long-term) has a longer defined fluctuation time than the fluctuation pattern 11 (normal), and is the second when the second special symbol fluctuates in the "low accuracy / time saving state" or the "high accuracy / time saving state". 2 It can be determined when the number of special symbols reserved is 1 or less, or when the first special symbol fluctuates in the "low accuracy / time saving state" or the "high accuracy / time saving state".

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the effect control means 70 (design variation effect control means 71, advance notice effect control means 72, special game effect control) is performed by the computer of the effect control board 23, the image control board 24, and the lamp control board 25. Means 73) are configured, and the effect control means 70 controls the effect means 80 (image display device 17, movable accessory device 18, speaker 27, lamps 28a, 28b), and the effect means 80 is used to produce a game. To do.

It should be noted that the effect control means 70 and the effect means 80 constitute the effect execution means 90 capable of executing the game effect based on the result of the determination by the special symbol information determination unit 43, and the advance notice effect control means 72 and the effect means 80 are used. In the game production, a plurality of advance notice effects are individually performed, and a special game is performed for each advance notice effect (that is, it is determined that the special game is performed by the special symbol information determination means 43). The advance notice effect executing means 91 that can be executed in any of a plurality of different effect modes is configured.

The symbol variation effect control means 71 is a variation pattern 1 as a jackpot effect pattern, as shown in FIG. 14 (2), based on the variation pattern determined at the start (immediately before the start) of the variation display of the special symbol. Corresponds to the effect pattern 1 corresponding to, the effect patterns 2-1 to 2-3 corresponding to the variation pattern 2, the effect patterns 3-1 to 3-4 corresponding to the variation pattern 3, and the effect pattern 4 corresponding to the variation pattern 4. As the production patterns 4-1 to 4-4, the production patterns 11 to 13 corresponding to the fluctuation patterns 11 to 13 as the loss production patterns, and the production patterns 14 and the fluctuation patterns 15 corresponding to the fluctuation patterns 14 as the reach loss production patterns. Select one of the corresponding effect patterns 15-1 to 15-3, the corresponding effect patterns 16-1 to 16-3 for the variation pattern 16, and the corresponding effect patterns 17-1 to 17-3 for the variation pattern 17. , When the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, the symbol variable effect is performed with the selected effect pattern.

Big hit production pattern 1 and reach loss production pattern 14, jackpot production patterns 2-1 to 2-3 and reach loss production patterns 15-1 to 15-3, jackpot production patterns 3-1 to 3-3 and reach loss production patterns 16-1 to 16-3, jackpot production patterns 4-1 to 4-3 and reach loss production patterns 17-1 to 17-3 correspond to each other, and each corresponding two jackpot production patterns and reach loss production patterns (for example, production patterns) The contents of 1 and 14, production patterns 2-1 and 15-1, production patterns 3-2 and 16-2, production patterns 4-3 and 17-3, etc.) are basically the same until the end of the process. .. The contents of the jackpot production patterns 3-4 and 4-4 are the production patterns 1,2-1 to 2-3, 3-1 to 3-3, 4-1 to 4-3, 14, by the end of the game. It contains contents that are not included in any of 15-1 to 15-3, 16-1 to 16-3, 17-1 to 17-3, that is, it is a premium that you can know that it will be a big hit even before the end of the game. It becomes the content.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the symbol variation effect, basically, (A) three sets of effect symbol rows 17a start to fluctuate with the start of variation of the special symbol on the image display device 17, and then (B). The left (left) effect symbol "X" stops fluctuating, (C) the right (right) effect symbol "Y" stops fluctuating, and (D) the middle (center) effect symbol "Z" fluctuates and stops. Finally, along with the stoppage of the fluctuation of the special symbol, the stop symbol sequence "XZY" is displayed as a fixed stop, and the stop symbol sequence "XZY" is the determination result by the special symbol information determination means 43. Will suggest.

For example, the effect symbols that can be displayed in each effect symbol string 17a are symbols mainly composed of nine numbers "1" to "9", that is, the effect symbols "X", "Y", and "Z" that stop fluctuating. When each of them becomes a symbol of "1" to "9" and the stop symbol sequence "XZY" of the effect symbol becomes a "big hit", the jackpot symbol sequence in which all the numbers are aligned (for example, When it becomes "missing" (for example, "777"), it becomes a losing symbol sequence (for example, "763", "767", etc.) in which one number does not align with at least one other number.

Next, a specific example of the symbol variation effect to be displayed on the image display device 17 by the symbol variation effect control means 71 will be described. The symbol variation effect described below is executed when the "low accuracy / non-time saving state" is set, and when the "low accuracy / time saving state" or "high accuracy / time saving state" is set. Not executed. However, depending on the case, it may be executed when "low accuracy / time saving state" or "high accuracy / time saving state" is set.

As shown in FIG. 16, (1) from the state where the three effect symbols are stopped and displayed in the symbol string "123", (2) the variable display of the three sets of effect symbol strings 17a is started, and (3) the left When the effect symbol "7" is temporarily stopped and any of the effect patterns 11 to 13 is executed (it becomes "missing"), (4) the right effect symbol "3" is temporarily stopped and displayed on the left and right. In the non-reach state where the production symbols "7" and "3" are not aligned, the production design "6" in (5) is temporarily stopped and displayed, and (6) the three production symbols are confirmed in the lost symbol row "763". Stop is displayed.

When an effect pattern other than the effect patterns 11 to 13 is executed, (3) the left effect symbol "7" is temporarily stopped and then (7) the right effect symbol "7" is temporarily stopped. The left and right production symbols "7" and "7" are aligned and reach a reach state. When the effect pattern 1 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), (7) a normal reach effect is performed after the reach state is reached, and the effect symbol "7" in (8) is temporarily stopped and displayed, and ( 9) Three effect symbols are displayed as a fixed stop in the jackpot symbol string "777". When the effect pattern 14 is executed (it becomes "missing"), (7) the normal reach effect is performed after the reach state is reached, the effect symbol "6" in (10) is temporarily stopped and displayed, and ( 11) Three effect symbols are displayed as a fixed stop display in the lost symbol string "767".

When any of the effect patterns 2-1 to 2-3, 4-1 to 4-4 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), or the effect patterns 15-1 to 15-3, 17-1 to If any of 17-3 is executed (it becomes "missing"), (7) After reaching the reach state, the SP reach effect, which is a development effect from the normal reach effect, is performed, and the effect pattern 3-1 If any of ~ 3-4 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), or if any of the effect patterns 16-1 to 16-4 is executed (it becomes a "miss"), ( 7) After reaching the reach state, the SP / SP reach production, which is a development production from the normal reach production, is performed.

In addition, "SP" means special, the SP reach production is a production with a higher expectation of a big hit than the normal reach production, and the SP / SP reach production is a production with a higher expectation of a big hit than the SP reach production.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the SP reach, (21) the left and right effect symbols "7" and "7" that are temporarily stopped are moved to the corner side of the screen and displayed in a reduced size, and the effect pattern 2 is used as the SP reach effect. When -1 is executed (becomes a "big hit"), or when the effect pattern 15-1 is executed (becomes a "loss"), (22) SP reach effect 1 is displayed and the effect pattern is displayed. When 2-2 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), or when the effect pattern 15-2 is executed (it becomes a "loss"), (23) SP reach effect 2 is displayed and the effect is produced. When pattern 2-3 is executed (becomes a "big hit"), or when effect pattern 15-3 is executed (becomes a "miss"), (24) SP reach effect 3 is displayed. ..

When any of the effect patterns 4-1 to 4-4 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), or any of the effect patterns 17-1 to 17-3 is executed ("missing"). In that case, any of SP reach effects 1 to 3 is displayed as the SP reach effect. In the case of a "big hit", the SP reach effect 2 is easier to display than the SP reach effect 3, and the SP reach effect 1 is more likely to be displayed than the SP reach effect 2, and the result is "missing". In this case, the SP reach effect 2 may be displayed more easily than the SP reach effect 1, and the SP reach effect 3 may be displayed more easily than the SP reach effect 2.

In the SP reach effect, for example, a predetermined mission effect is displayed, and in the SP reach effects 1 to 3, the mission effect is displayed in different display modes. For example, as a background image of the mission effect, the night background is displayed in the SP reach effect 1, the evening background is displayed in the SP reach effect 2, and the daytime background is displayed in the SP reach effect 3. Then, at the end or end of this SP reach production, if any of the production patterns 2-1 to 2-3 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), the mission production becomes a successful production (25). ) After the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot symbol string "777", (26) the fixed stop is displayed in the jackpot symbol string "777".

When any of the production patterns 4-1 to 4-4, 15-1 to 15-3, 17-1 to 17-3 is executed, the mission production becomes a failure production, and (27) three productions. If the symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in the lost symbol sequence "767" and any of the effect patterns 15-1 to 15-3 is executed (it becomes "missed"), (28) the lost symbol sequence "767" If any of the effect patterns 4-1 to 4-4 and 17-1 to 17-3 is executed, (27) the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped in the lost symbol sequence "767". After being displayed, the effect symbol in the center, which is temporarily stopped and displayed, changes again, and the SP / SP reach effect, which is a development effect from the SP reach effect, is performed.

As shown in FIG. 18, in the SP / SP reach, the left and right effect symbols "7" and "7" that are temporarily stopped are moved to the corner side of the screen and displayed in a reduced size, and the SP / SP reach effect is displayed. .. In this SP / SP reach effect, for example, a battle effect in which a predetermined ally character A and an enemy character B fight is displayed, and then (31) the offense and defense of both characters A and B are displayed first, and then (32). ) A technique selection effect is displayed in which the ally character A selects the technique of attacking the enemy character B using the effect button SW6a.

As shown in (32), in this technique selection effect, "A: Special technique (kick)", "B: Medium attack (punch)", and "C: Weak attack (chop)" are roulette-shaped as multiple techniques. In addition to being displayed on the screen, a display is performed in which a plurality of techniques are selectively instructed and the instructions are rotated and switched. Further, as a display prompting the player to operate the effect button SW6a, the effect button SW and its operation are displayed. The arrow and the character "PUSH" meaning, and the remaining period (gauge) of the operation valid period in the effect of the effect button SW6a are displayed.

In the technique selection effect of (32), if the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation valid period, or if it is not operated within the operation valid period, at the end of the operation valid period, "A: Special Move", "B: Either "medium attack" or "C: weak attack" is instructed and selected. In the case of a "big hit", "B: medium attack" is easier to select than "C: weak attack", and "A: special move" is more likely to be selected than "B: medium attack". In the case of "loss", "B: medium attack" is easier to select than "A: special move", and "C: weak attack" is easier to select than "B: medium attack". It may be.

When any of the effect patterns 3-1 and 4-1 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), or when any of the effect patterns 16-1 and 17-1 is executed (it becomes a "loss"). ), (33) "A: Special Move" is selected and displayed, and (34) the effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with the special move is displayed. When any of the effect patterns 3-2 and 4-2 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), or when any of the effect patterns 16-2 and 17-2 is executed (it becomes a "loss"). ), (35) "B: Medium attack" is selected and displayed, and (36) The effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy character B in the medium attack is displayed. When any of the effect patterns 3-3 and 4-3 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), or when any of the effect patterns 16-3 and 17-3 is executed (it becomes a "loss"). ), (37) "C: Weak attack" is selected and displayed, and (38) The effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy character B with the weak attack is displayed.

(34) / (36) / (38) When the effect that the ally character A attacks the enemy character B is displayed, at the end of the effect, (39) the effect button is displayed to prompt the player to operate the effect button SW6a. The SW, the character "press !!" meaning the operation, and the remaining period (gauge) of the operation valid period in the effect of the effect button SW6a are displayed. Then, if the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation valid period, the effect pattern 3-1 to 3-3, 4- If any of 1 to 4-3 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), (40) a victory effect in which the ally character A defeats the enemy character B and wins is displayed, and (41) three effect symbols. Is temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot symbol string "777", and then (42) is displayed as a fixed stop in the jackpot symbol string "777".

On the other hand, when any of the effect patterns 16-1 to 16-3 and 17-1 to 17-3 is executed (it becomes "missing"), (43) friendly character A is defeated by enemy character B. The defeat effect to be defeated is displayed, and (44) the three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the lost symbol string "767", and then (45) the defeated symbol string "767" is displayed as a fixed stop. If any of the effect patterns 3-1 to 3-3 and 4-1 to 4-3 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), the defeat effect of (43) is displayed, and (44) 3 After one effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in the lost symbol string "767", it is switched so that it is temporarily stopped and displayed in (41) jackpot symbol string "777", that is, a resurrection effect is performed, and (42) the jackpot is displayed. In some cases, the symbol string "777" may be displayed as a fixed stop.

Further, in the technique selection effect of (32), if the effect button SW6a is operated within the operation valid period, or if it is not operated within the operation valid period, at the end of the operation valid period, the effect patterns 3-4, 4- If any of 4 is executed (it becomes a "big hit"), (43) a blackout effect that temporarily blackens the screen is displayed, and as a premium effect, (44) multiple effect symbols are multiple jackpots. A full rotation effect that fluctuates along with the symbol sequence ("111", "222", "333", etc.) is displayed, and then (41) three effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the jackpot symbol string "777". Then, (42) the jackpot symbol string "777" is displayed as a fixed stop.

"Notice production"
When a predetermined symbol variation effect is being performed, the advance notice effect control means 72 sets a plurality of advance notice effects individually for a fixed period (relatively short period) in one symbol variation effect, and each of them. The notice effect is added to the effect shown in FIGS. 16 to 18 in any of a plurality of effect modes in which the jackpot expectations are different from each other (when the image display device 17 is displayed, it is shown in FIGS. 16 to 18). It is made to be displayed preferentially by superimposing it on the display of the effect.

Here, a special game is performed in which any of the symbol variation effects of normal reach, normal reach → SP reach, normal reach → SP / SP reach, normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach is set as a specific game effect, and the effect of reaching the reach state is performed. As a specific effect that raises expectations, the effect executing means 90 can execute the specific effect at a predetermined timing during the execution of the specific game effect, and the advance notice effect executing means 91 can perform a plurality of advance notices in the specific game effect. The effect is divided into before and after the execution of the specific effect.

The notice production (hereinafter referred to as notice) will be specifically described.
As shown in FIG. 19 (1), when a non-reach symbol variation effect (any of the effect patterns 11 to 13 (however, the effect pattern 11 or 12 may be excluded)) is executed, a plurality of patterns are executed. After the start of fluctuation of the effect symbol (special symbol), before the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed, the notices 1 and 2 are sequentially performed. As shown in FIG. 19 (2), when the normal reach symbol variation effect (any of the effect patterns 1 and 14) is being executed, the notices 1 and 2 are performed at the same timing (before the reach state is reached). At the same time, the notice 3 is given when the normal reach effect is being performed after the reach state is reached.

As shown in FIG. 19 (3), when the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP reach (any of effect patterns 2-1 to 2-3 and 15-1 to 15-3) is being executed, the notices 1 to 1 3 is performed at the same timing, and then, when the SP reach effect is being performed, the notices 4 and 5 are sequentially performed. As shown in FIG. 19 (4), when the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP / SP reach (any of effect patterns 3-1 to 3-4 and 16-1 to 16-3) is being executed, a notice is given. 1 to 3 are performed at the same timing, and then, when the SP / SP reach effect is being performed, the notices 6 to 8 are sequentially performed.

As shown in FIG. 19 (5), the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach (any of effect patterns 4-1 to 4-4 and 17-1 to 17-3) is executed. Occasionally, when the notices 1 to 3 are performed at the same timing, and then the notices 4 and 5 are sequentially performed when the SP reach effect is being performed, and then the SP / SP reach effect is being performed. To perform notices 6 to 8 in sequence. When any of the effect patterns 3-4 and 4-4 is executed, even if the notices 1 to 3 and the notices 4 and 5 are performed, the premium effect (full rotation effect) in the SP / SP reach effect. 6 to 8 will not be given.

In addition, if the normal reach → SP reach is higher than the normal reach, and the normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach is higher than the normal reach → SP reach, the big hit expectation will be higher. Aside from the production mode, the greater the number of notices to be given, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

As shown in FIG. 20, in notice 1, for example, a big hit is expected depending on the plurality of effect symbols to be displayed on the image display device 17 and the display colors around them at the start of fluctuation of the plurality of effect symbols (special symbols) or immediately after that. Have them perform a production that suggests the degree. There are three display colors of white, green, and red (the jackpot expectation increases in the order of white <green <red) as a plurality of production modes of the notice 1, and the notice 1 has a plurality of production symbols and their surroundings. It is displayed in any of the display colors of white, green, and red.

As shown in FIG. 21, in the notice 2, for example, before the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before the reach state is reached), the big hit expectation is suggested by the blowout character string displayed on the image display device 17. Let them perform the production. As a plurality of production modes of notice 2, A = "...", B = "expectation", C = "chance", D = "big chance" (big hit expectation is higher in the order of A <B <C <D. There are four types of character strings (become), and in notice 2, the blowout character string is displayed as any of A, B, C, and D.

As shown in FIG. 22, in the notice 3, for example, immediately after the reach state is reached, the effect of suggesting the jackpot expectation is performed by the reach character string displayed on the image display device 17. As a plurality of production modes of the notice 3, there are a plurality of character strings of A = "reach", B = "chance", C = "super heat" (the jackpot expectation increases in the order of A <B <C). In notice 3, the reach character string is displayed as any of A, B, and C character strings.

As shown in FIG. 23, in the notice 4, for example, the SP title to be displayed on the image display device 17 at the start or immediately after the start of the SP reach effect; the display color of "SP reach !!" suggests the degree of expectation of a big hit. Let them perform the production. There are four display colors of black, green, red, and zebra (the jackpot expectation increases in the order of black <green <red <zebra) as a plurality of production modes of the notice 4, and the SP title of the notice 4 is black. , Green, red, or zebra display color.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the notice 5, for example, in the middle or final stage of the SP reach effect, the display color of the SP cut-in effect (for example, a ally character) displayed on the image display device 17 suggests the degree of expectation of a big hit. To do. There are three display colors of green, red, and zebra (the jackpot expectation increases in the order of green <red <zebra) as a plurality of production modes of the notice 5, and in the notice 4, the SP cut-in effect is green and red. , Zebra is mainly displayed in the display color.

As shown in FIG. 25, in the notice 6, for example, the SP / SP title to be displayed on the image display device 17 at the start or immediately after the start of the SP / SP reach effect; Have them perform a production that suggests the degree of expectation of a big hit. There are four display colors of black, red, zebra, and rainbow (the jackpot expectation increases in the order of black <red <zebra <rainbow) as multiple production modes of notice 6, and notice 6 is the SP / SP title. Is displayed in black, red, zebra, or rainbow display color.

As shown in FIG. 26, in the notice 7, for example, in the early stage or the middle stage of the SP / SP reach effect, the action of the movable accessory device 18 is made to perform an effect suggesting a big hit expectation. As a plurality of production modes of the notice 7, reciprocating (moving objects 18a and 18b reciprocate near the evacuation position), reciprocating + coalescing (moving objects 18a and 18b move to the coalescing position and coalescing) (big hit expectation is There are two types of operations, reciprocating <reciprocating + coalescing), and in notice 7, the movable objects 18a and 18b operate as either reciprocating or reciprocating + coalescing.

As shown in FIG. 27, in the notice 8, for example, in the middle or final stage of the SP / SP reach effect, the jackpot expectation degree is determined by the display color of the SP / SP cut-in effect (for example, a ally character) displayed on the image display device 17. Let them perform a production that suggests. There are three display colors of green, red, zebra, and rainbow (the jackpot expectation increases in the order of green <red <zebra <rainbow) as multiple production modes of notice 8, and notice 8 is SP / SP cut. The in-effect is displayed in a display color mainly composed of green, red, zebra, or rainbow.

As described above, the advance notice effect execution means 91 (notice effect control means 72 and effect means 80) has a plurality of effect modes in which a plurality of advance notices are individually given and each advance notice has a different degree of expectation of a big hit in the symbol variation effect. However, here, there are a plurality of scenario information in which a plurality of advance notice modes are predetermined, and at least one notice effect mode is different from each other. Then, at the start of execution of the symbol variation effect, one of a plurality of scenario information is selected based on the effect pattern as predetermined information of the symbol variation effect to be executed, and the selected scenario is being executed during the execution of the symbol variation effect. A plurality of notices are executed in each of a plurality of production modes determined by information.

Specifically, in FIG. 19, (1) no reach, (2) normal reach, (3) normal reach → SP reach, (4) normal reach → SP / SP reach, (5) normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach For each symbol variation effect, a plurality of scenario information is provided, one of a plurality of scenario information corresponding to the symbol variation effect to be executed is selected, and a plurality of effect modes determined by the selected scenario information are used. Execute multiple notices respectively.

FIG. 28 shows a plurality of scenario information (scenarios 1-A to 1-B, scenarios 2-A to 2--) for each of the symbol variation effects of (1) no reach, (2) normal reach, and (3) normal reach → SP reach. C, a scenario information table having scenarios 3-A to 3-D) is shown, and FIG. 29 shows a symbol variation of (4) normal reach → SP / SP reach, and (5) normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach. A scenario information table having a plurality of scenario information (scenarios 4-A to 4-D, scenarios 5-A to 5-E) for the production is shown.

Regarding the selection of scenario information, in the symbol variation effect without reach, when any of the effect patterns 11 to 13 that are lost is executed using the scenario selection table of FIG. 30 (1), the scenario 1 is shown at the ratio shown in the figure. One of -A to 1-B is selected, and in the normal reach symbol variation effect, the effect pattern 1 that is a big hit is executed and the effect pattern that is lost by using the scenario selection table of FIG. 30 (2). One of the scenarios 2-A to 2-C is selected at the proportions shown in the figures that are different from each other depending on the case where 14 is executed.

Further, in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP reach, using the scenario selection table shown in FIG. 30 (3), an effect that is lost when any of the effect patterns 2-1 to 2-3 that is a big hit is executed. Depending on the case where any of patterns 15-1 to 15-3 is executed, any of scenarios 3-A to 3-D is selected at different ratios shown in the figure, and the symbol variation of normal reach → SP / SP reach In the production, using the scenario selection table shown in FIG. 30 (4), there are cases where any of the production patterns 3-1 to 3-4, which is a big hit, is executed, and production patterns 16-1 to 16-3, which are lost. One of scenarios 4-A to 4-D is selected at different ratios depending on whether any of them is executed, and in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach, FIG. 30 ( Using the scenario selection table in 5), either one of the big hit effect patterns 4-1 to 4-4 is executed or one of the lost effect patterns 17-1 to 17-3 is executed. Depending on the case, any of scenarios 5-A to 5-E is selected at different proportions in the illustration.

A plurality of notices are executed in each of the plurality of production modes determined in the scenario selected in this way. For example, in the symbol variation effect without reach, when scenario 1-A of FIG. 28 (1) is selected, as notice 1, a plurality of effect symbols and their surroundings are present at or immediately after the start of variation of the plurality of effect symbols. Is displayed in a white display color, and as a notice 2, a blowout character string; "..." is displayed before the left and right effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed.

For example, when scenario 2-B of FIG. 28 (2) is selected in the normal reach symbol variation effect, as notice 1, a plurality of effect symbols and their surroundings are displayed at the start of or immediately after the variation of the plurality of effect symbols. It is displayed in green display color, and as notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), the blowout character string; "expectation" is displayed, and as notice 3, it is in the reach state. Immediately after, the reach character string; "reach" is displayed.

For example, when scenario 3-C of FIG. 28 (3) is selected in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP reach, as notice 1, a plurality of effect symbols or immediately after the start of the variation of the plurality of effect symbols The surrounding area is displayed in a green display color, and as notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), a blowout character string; "chance" is displayed, and as notice 3, Immediately after entering the reach state, the reach character string; "chance" is displayed, and as notice 4, the SP title; "SP reach !!" is displayed in green display color at the start of the SP reach production or immediately after that. Then, as notice 5, the SP cut-in effect is displayed in a display color mainly in red in the middle and the end of the SP reach effect.

For example, when scenario 4-D of FIG. 29 (4) is selected in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP / SP reach, as notice 1, a plurality of effects are produced at the start of or immediately after the variation of the plurality of effect symbols. The symbol and its surroundings are displayed in a red display color, and as notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), a blowout character string; "Great chance" is displayed and a notice is given. As 3, the reach character string; "super heat" is displayed immediately after the reach state is reached, and as notice 6, the SP / SP title; "SP / SP reach" is displayed at the start of the SP / SP reach production or immediately after that. !! ”is displayed in red, and as notice 7, the movable objects 18a and 18b of the movable accessory device 18 reciprocate and combine in the early and middle stages of the SP / SP reach production, and as notice 8, SP -In the middle and final stages of the SP reach production, the SP / SP cut-in production is displayed in a display color mainly composed of zebra.

For example, when scenario 5-E of FIG. 29 (5) is selected, as notice 1, the plurality of effect symbols and their surroundings are displayed in a red display color at the start of or immediately after the fluctuation of the plurality of effect symbols. , As notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), the blowout character string; "Great chance" is displayed, and as notice 3, immediately after reaching the reach state, reach The character string; "super heat" is displayed, and as notice 4, the SP title; "SP reach !!" is displayed in the zebra display color at the start of the SP reach production or immediately after that, and as notice 5, SP reach is displayed. In the middle and the end of the production, the SP cut-in production is displayed in the display color mainly of zebra, and as notice 6, the SP / SP title; "SP / SP reach" at the start and immediately after the SP / SP reach production. !! ”is displayed in the rainbow display color, and as notice 7, the movable objects 18a and 18b of the movable accessory device 18 reciprocate and combine in the early and middle stages of the SP / SP reach production, and as notice 8, SP -In the middle and final stages of the SP reach production, the SP / SP cut-in production is displayed in a display color mainly composed of rainbow.

Here, as with the conventional pachinko gaming machine, with respect to the production mode of a plurality of notices executed in the symbol variation effect, an allocation lottery is performed for each notice, and one of the plurality of effect modes is selected, and each notice is selected. When is executed in the selected effect mode, for example, when six notices are executed in the symbol variation effect, six allocation lottery is performed, so that a plurality of notices are executed (multiple effects). The load of processing and control for selecting the mode) increases.

Moreover, with respect to the notice executed earlier and the notice executed later, the jackpot expectation of the effect mode of the previously executed notice is relatively high, depending on the relationship between the production modes (big hit expectation). Despite the high value, the jackpot expectation of the notice effect mode executed later is significantly lower than the jackpot expectation of the notice effect mode executed earlier, and the effect is reduced (for example, a game). There is a risk of losing the expectation of the person.

Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, the advance notice effect executing means 91 is a plurality of scenarios in which a plurality of advance notice effect modes are each predetermined, and at least one advance notice effect mode is different from each other. Since it has a plurality of scenarios, one of a plurality of scenarios is selected based on the effect pattern of the symbol variation effect to be executed, and a plurality of notices are executed in each of the plurality of effect modes determined by the selected scenario. , The above problem can be improved, that is, the processing / load for executing a plurality of notices can be reduced, and the effect of the multiple notices can be enhanced.

Regarding the enhancement of the effect of the multiple notices, the jackpot expectation of the notice effect mode executed earlier is not significantly lower than the jackpot expectation of the notice mode executed later, that is, it is executed later. The jackpot expectation of the previously executed notice production mode is approximately the same as or slightly lower than the jackpot expectation of the previously executed notice production mode, or the previously executed notice production mode. By making it higher than the jackpot expectation of, it is possible to enhance the effect of the effect by keeping the player's expectation from being lost until the end of the symbol variation effect.

Even if a scenario is selected, in some cases, one or more of the plurality of notices determined in the scenario may not be executed. For example, if it is determined by the predetermined advance notice execution determination process that any one of the advance notice 1 to the advance notice 8 is not executed, the notice may not be executed according to the determination.

The modification of the first embodiment may be as follows.
As shown in FIG. 30, (1) no reach, (2) normal reach, (3) normal reach → SP reach, (4) normal reach → SP / SP reach, (5) normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach, respectively. On the other hand, without providing a plurality of scenarios and a scenario selection table, these scenarios and the scenario selection table are changed to one common plurality of scenarios and a scenario selection table, and a plurality of advance notice production modes are determined. You may.

FIG. 31 shows a scenario information table having a plurality of common scenario information (scenarios A to E), and when any of the effect patterns 11 to 13 is executed using the common scenario selection table of FIG. 32, The case where the effect pattern 1 is executed, the case where the effect pattern 14 is executed, the case where any of the effect patterns 2-1 to 2-3 is executed, and the case where the effect patterns 15-1 to 15-3 are executed. Is executed, any of the effect patterns 3-1 to 3-4 is executed, any of the effect patterns 16-1 to 16-3 is executed, and the effect pattern 4- Depending on whether any of 1 to 4-4 is executed and any of the effect patterns 17-1 to 17-3 is executed, any of scenarios A to E will be executed at different proportions in the illustration. Be selected.

Then, when any of scenarios A to E is selected, only the effect modes 1 and 2 of the notices 1 and 2 of the selected scenario are adopted in the symbol variation effect without reach, and selected in the symbol variation effect of normal reach. Only the effect modes of the scenario notices 1 to 3 are adopted, and in the normal reach → SP reach symbol variation effect, only the effect forms of the selected scenario notices 1 to 5 are adopted, and the normal reach → SP / SP reach symbol variation. In the production, only the production modes 1-3, 6 to 8 of the selected scenario notices are adopted, and in the pattern variation production of normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach, the productions of the selected scenario notices 1 to 8 are adopted. Aspects are adopted.

For example, when scenario C in FIG. 31 is selected in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP reach, as notice 1, the plurality of effect symbols and their surroundings are green at the start of or immediately after the variation of the plurality of effect symbols. It is displayed in the display color, and as notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), the blowout character string; "Great chance" is displayed, and as notice 3, it is in the reach state. Immediately after, the reach character string; "chance" is displayed, and as the notice 4, the SP title; "SP reach !!" is displayed in the red display color at the start of the SP reach production or immediately after that, and the notice 5 As a result, the SP cut-in effect is displayed in a display color mainly in red in the middle or the end of the SP reach effect.

For example, when the scenario D of FIG. 31 is selected in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP / SP reach, as notice 1, a plurality of effect symbols and their surroundings are displayed at the start of or immediately after the variation of the plurality of effect symbols. It is displayed in red display color, and as notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), the blowout character string; "great chance" is displayed, and as notice 3, the reach state is displayed. Immediately after becoming, the reach character string; "super heat" is displayed, and as notice 6, the SP / SP title; "SP / SP reach !!" is zebra at the start of the SP / SP reach production or immediately after that. As notice 7, the movable objects 18a and 18b of the movable accessory device 18 reciprocate and unite in the early and middle stages of the SP / SP reach effect, and as notice 8, the SP / SP reach effect is displayed. In the middle and final stages, the SP / SP cut-in effect is displayed in a display color mainly composed of zebra.

In the second embodiment, a part thereof is modified in the first embodiment, only the changed portion will be described, and the other description will be omitted. In the second embodiment, the advance notice effect executing means 91 divides the process of determining the effect mode of a plurality of advance notices to be executed in the specific game effect into a notice before the execution of the specific effect and a notice after the execution of the specific effect. (In Example 1, it is done collectively without dividing).

Specifically, FIG. 33 shows information on the first half of a plurality of scenarios common to all symbol variation effects of no reach, normal reach, normal reach → SP reach, normal reach → SP / SP reach, normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach. The scenario first half information table having (scenario first half A to F) is shown. The selection of the first half information of this scenario is performed at the start of execution of the symbol variation effect, and using the scenario first half selection table of FIG. One of the first half A to F is selected.

FIG. 35 shows the latter half of a plurality of scenarios for each of (1) normal reach, (2) normal reach → SP reach, (3) normal reach → SP / SP reach, and (4) normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach. Shows the scenario second half information table with information (scenario second half 2-A to 2-C, scenario second half 3-A to 3-D, scenario second half 4-A to 4-D, scenario second half 5-A to 5-E). ing.

The selection of the latter half information of this scenario is performed at the start of execution of the symbol variation effect or after the execution of the advance notice effects 1 and 2 (after the reach state is reached), and in the normal reach symbol variation effect, FIG. 36 (1). Using the second half of the scenario selection table, the second half of the scenario 2-A to 2- One of C is selected, and in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP reach, one of the effect patterns 2-1 to 2-3 that becomes a big hit is executed using the scenario second half selection table of FIG. 36 (2). One of the latter half of the scenario 3-A to 3-C is selected at different ratios depending on whether the effect pattern 15-1 to 15-3 is executed or the effect pattern 15-1 to 15-3 is executed.

In addition, in the symbol variation effect from normal reach to SP / SP reach, there is a difference between the case where any of the effect patterns 3-1 to 3-4, which is a big hit, is executed using the scenario second half selection table in FIG. 36 (3). Depending on the case where any of the effect patterns 16-1 to 16-3 is executed, any of the latter half of the scenario 4-A to 4-D is selected at different proportions, and the normal reach → SP reach → In the SP / SP reach symbol variation effect, using the scenario second half selection table in FIG. 36 (4), the effect pattern that becomes a big hit and the effect pattern that becomes a loss when any one of the effect patterns 4-1 to 4-4 is executed is lost. Depending on the case where any of 17-1 to 17-3 is executed, any of the latter half of the scenario 5-A to 5-E is selected at the proportions shown in the figures that are different from each other.

A plurality of notices are executed in each of the plurality of production modes determined in the first half of the scenario and the second half of the scenario selected in this way. For example, when the first half E of the scenario of FIG. 33 and the second half 3-B of the scenario of (2) of FIG. Immediately after that, multiple production symbols and their surroundings are displayed in red display color, and as notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), the blowout character string; "Chance" Is displayed, and as notice 3, the reach character string; "reach" is displayed immediately after the reach state is reached, and as notice 4, the SP title; "SP reach! "!" Is displayed in a green display color, and as a notice 5, the SP cut-in effect is displayed in a display color mainly composed of green in the middle and final stages of the SP reach effect.

For example, in the symbol variation effect of normal reach → SP / SP reach, when the scenario first half B of FIG. 33 and the scenario second half 4-D of (3) of FIG. 35 are selected, the variation of a plurality of effect symbols starts as notice 1. At or immediately after that, a plurality of production symbols and their surroundings are displayed in a white display color, and as notice 2, before the left and right production symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed (before reaching the reach state), the blowout character string; "Expectation" is displayed, and as notice 3, immediately after the reach state is reached, the reach character string; "super heat" is displayed, and as notice 6, SP / SP reach production starts or immediately after, SP / SP. SP title; "SP / SP reach !!" is displayed in red, and as notice 7, the movable objects 18a and 18b of the movable accessory device 18 reciprocate and combine in the early and middle stages of the SP / SP reach production. It operates, and as notice 8, the SP / SP cut-in effect is displayed in a display color mainly composed of zebra in the middle and final stages of the SP / SP reach effect.

In this way, while achieving the effect of the first embodiment, the production modes of the plurality of notices before the reach state is roughly (roughly) determined based on whether it is a big hit or a loss, and the plurality after the reach state is reached. It is possible to determine the production mode of the notice of the above in detail (severely) based on the effect pattern to be executed, and the reliability of the big hit expectation of the second half of the notice is more than the reliability of the big hit expectation of the first half of the notice. You can improve your sexuality.

For each of (1) normal reach, (2) normal reach → SP reach, (3) normal reach → SP / SP reach, and (4) normal reach → SP reach → SP / SP reach, the latter half of multiple scenarios and scenario selection Although a table is provided, these scenario second half and scenario second half selection tables are changed to one common plurality of scenario second half and scenario second half selection tables in the same manner as the modification form of the first embodiment, although not shown. Then, a plurality of notice production modes after the reach state may be determined.

In addition, various modifications can be added and implemented without departing from the gist of the present invention, and various pachinko gaming machines or slot machines other than pachinko gaming machines (rotary type gaming machines) and the like can be implemented. The present invention can be applied to the above-mentioned gaming machines.
