(Outline of the progress of the game)
The game ball is launched toward the game area by the rotation operation of the pachinko game machine 1 by the player to the ball striking operation handle 30. When the game ball passes through the passing gate 41, the normal symbol game by the normal symbol display 20 is started. If the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 during the period during which the previous normal map game is being executed (when the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41 but the normal map game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately). , The normal map game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In this normal symbol game, if a specific normal symbol (design per normal symbol) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "per normal symbol". On the other hand, if the normal symbol other than the normal symbol (the symbol that is out of the normal symbol) is stopped and displayed as the confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol is "out of the normal symbol". When it becomes "per normal drawing", the opening control is performed so that the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period (the second starting winning opening is opened).

When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening formed in the winning ball device 6A, the first special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started.

When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the variable winning ball device 6B, the second special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started.

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special figure game is being executed, or during the period controlled by the big hit game state or the small hit game state described later (starting prize has occurred). If the special figure game based on the start prize cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special figure game based on the approach is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the jackpot type described later) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes "big hit" and the jackpot symbol. If a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol, for example, "2") different from the above is stopped and displayed, it becomes "small hit". Further, if a special symbol (missing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it is "missing".

After the display result in the special figure game becomes "big hit", it is controlled to the big hit game state as an advantageous state advantageous for the player. After the display result in the special figure game becomes "small hit", it is controlled to the small hit game state.

In the big hit game state, the player can obtain the prize ball by letting the game ball enter the big prize opening. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the open upper limit period, the more advantageous it is for the player.

A big hit type is set for "big hit". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and opening upper limit period) of the big winning opening and game states after the big hit gaming state (normal state, time saving state, probability change state, etc., which will be described later) are prepared, and the big hit is made according to these. The type is set. As the big hit type, a big hit type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained or a big hit type in which a small number of prize balls or almost no prize balls can be obtained may be provided.

In the small hit game state, the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small hit game state, the opening mode similar to the big hit game state in some big hit types (the number of times the big winning opening is opened is the same as the number of rounds above, and the closing timing of the big winning opening is also the same. Etc.), the big winning opening is opened. As with the big hit type, the small hit type may be provided for the "small hit".

After the jackpot game state is completed, it may be controlled to a time saving state or a probability change state according to the jackpot type.

In the time saving state, control (time saving control) is executed in which the average special figure fluctuation time (period in which the special figure is changed) is shortened from the normal state. In the time-saving state, the average fluctuation time of the normal map (the period during which the normal map is changed) is shortened from the normal state, and the probability of becoming a "normal map hit" in the normal map game is improved from the normal state. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

In the probabilistic state (probability fluctuation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability change control in which the probability that the display result becomes a "big hit" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The probabilistic state is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol is improved and the “big hit” is likely to occur, which is a more advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the probabilistic change state continue until any one of the end conditions such as the execution of the special figure game a predetermined number of times and the start of the next big hit game state are satisfied first. A game whose end condition is that the special figure game has been executed a predetermined number of times is also referred to as a number-cutting (time-cutting time reduction, number-cutting probability change, etc.).

The normal state is a gaming state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state which is advantageous for the player, a time saving state, and a probability change state, and the display result in the normal figure game is "normal figure hit". The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit" returns to a predetermined state after the power is turned on, such as the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as when the process was not executed).

The state in which the probability change control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which the probability change control is not executed is also called a low probability state. The state in which the time reduction control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time reduction control is not executed is also called a low base state. By combining these, it is also called a low-accuracy high-base state in a time-saving state, a high-accuracy high-base state in a probabilistic state, and a low-accuracy low-base state in a normal state. The high-accuracy state and the low-base state are also called the high-accuracy low-base state.

After the small hit game state ends, the game state is not changed, and the game state is continuously controlled to the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small hit" (however, "small hit" occurs. If the special figure game at the time is the special figure game of the predetermined number of times in the above number of times cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, it is not necessary that there is no "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

The gaming state may change based on the fact that the gaming ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area in the big winning opening) during the big hit game state. For example, when the game ball passes through a specific area, it may be controlled to a probable change state after the big hit game state.

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects of notifying the progress of the game and enlivening the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5, but in addition to or in place of the display, audio output from the speakers 8L and 8R and / or a game effect lamp 9 It may be performed by the point or the like / extinguishing, the operation of the movable body 32, or the like.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the "left", "middle", and "right" provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first 2 In response to the start of the special figure game, the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also referred to as the finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game, the final decorative symbol (combination of three decorative symbols) which is the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is displayed. ) Is also displayed (derived) as a stop.

In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display of a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. It is an aspect that is continuing.

In addition, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display of the decorative pattern. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (display result of the special figure game or variable display of the decorative symbol) to be "big hit" (also called big hit reliability or big hit expectation) is determined according to the production mode. Multiple different types of reach effects are performed. Reach effects include, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a definite decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration). The display result of the variable display of the symbol is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative symbols (for example, "7") are all stopped and displayed on predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". ..

In the case of "probability change jackpot" which is controlled to the probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7" etc.) are all stopped and displayed, and the probability change state is changed after the end of the jackpot game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", an even number of decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stopped and displayed. In this case, the odd-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a probabilistic symbol, and the even-numbered decorative symbol is also referred to as a non-probable variable symbol (normal symbol). After the non-probability pattern becomes the reach mode, the promotion effect that finally becomes the "probability change jackpot" may be executed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "small hit", the fixed decorative symbol (for example, "for example,") which is a predetermined small hit combination as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol on the screen of the image display device 5. 1 3 5 "etc.) is derived (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is" small hit "). As an example, the decorative symbols constituting the chance eyes are stopped and displayed on the predetermined effective lines in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". In addition, when the display result of the special figure game becomes "big hit" of some big hit types (big hit type of the big hit game state in the same mode as the small hit game state), and when it becomes "small hit". , A common fixed decorative pattern may be derived and displayed.

When the display result of the special figure game is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a definite decorative symbol of a non-reach combination ("" (Also referred to as "non-reach off") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "non-reach off"). In addition, when the display result is "off", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination that is not a big hit combination ("reach loss"). The fixed decorative symbol (also referred to as "") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "out of reach").

The effect that the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute includes displaying the above-mentioned variable display compatible display (hold display or active display). Further, as another effect, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the jackpot is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The notice effect includes a notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display during execution, and a look-ahead advance notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display (variable display in which execution is suspended) before execution. As the look-ahead notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the variable display compatible display (holding display or active display) to a mode different from the usual mode may be executed.

Further, in the image display device 5, one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display. The pseudo-continuous production may be executed.

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type of the big hit game state having the same aspect as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a highly accurate state). By executing a common effect depending on the state, the player may not know whether the current state is in the small hit game state or the big hit game state. In such a case, by executing a common effect after the end of the small hit game state and after the end of the big hit game state, it is not possible to distinguish between the high probability state and the low probability state. You may.

Further, for example, when a special figure game or the like is not executed, a demo (demonstration) image is displayed on the image display device 5 (a customer waiting demo effect is executed).

It includes an output port for transmitting (a signal for controlling (driving) the display 25A, the second hold display 25B, the normal figure hold display 25C, etc., and a solenoid drive signal).

The switch circuit 110 is a detection signal (a game ball passes or is passed) from various switches for detecting a game ball (gate switch 21, start port switch (first start port switch 22A and second start port switch 22B), count switch 23). It takes in a detection signal indicating that the switch has been turned on by entering and transmits it to the game control microcomputer 100. By transmitting the detection signal, the passage or approach of the game ball is detected.

The solenoid circuit 111 transfers a solenoid drive signal from the game control microcomputer 100 (for example, a signal for turning on the solenoid 81 or the solenoid 82) to the solenoid 81 for an ordinary electric accessory or the solenoid 82 for a prize-winning door. To transmit.

The main board 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control) issues an effect control command (command for designating (notifying) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game as a part of controlling the progress of the game. Supply to 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, display results of the special figure game (including the jackpot type)), and fluctuation patterns used when executing the special figure game (details will be described later). )), The game status (for example, the start and end of the variable display, the opening status of the large winning opening, the occurrence of the winning, the number of reserved memories, the game status), the command for specifying the occurrence of an error, and the like are included.

The effect control board 12 is a control board on the sub side independent of the main board 11, receives an effect control command, and produces an effect (various effects according to the progress of the game) based on the received effect control command. It has a function of executing various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, and notification of power failure recovery).

The effect control board 12 is equipped with an effect control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125.

The effect control CPU 120 is a process for executing an effect together with the display control unit 123 by executing a program stored in the ROM 121 (a process for realizing the above-mentioned function of the effect control board 12, and is an effect to be executed). (Including the decision etc.). At this time, various data (data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as the main memory.

The effect control CPU 120 displays the execution of the effect based on the detection signal from the controller sensor unit 35A or the push sensor 35B (a signal output when an operation by the player is detected and an appropriate signal indicating the operation content). It may also instruct the control unit 123.

The display control unit 123 includes a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like, and executes an effect based on an effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120.

The display control unit 123 supplies the image display device 5 with a video signal corresponding to the effect to be executed based on the effect execution instruction from the effect control CPU 120, so that the effect image is displayed on the image display device 5. The display control unit 123 further supplies a sound designation signal (a signal for designating the sound to be output) to the voice control board 13 in order to output sound synchronized with the display of the effect image and turn on / off the game effect lamp 9. Or, a lamp signal (a signal for designating the lighting / extinguishing mode of the lamp) is supplied to the lamp control board 14. Further, the display control unit 123 supplies a signal for operating the movable body 32 to the movable body 32 or a drive circuit for driving the movable body 32.

The voice control board 13 is equipped with various circuits for driving the speakers 8L and 8R, drives the speakers 8L and 8R based on the sound designation signal, and outputs the voice designated by the sound designation signal from the speakers 8L and 8R. Let me.

The lamp control board 14 is equipped with various circuits for driving the game effect lamp 9, drives the game effect lamp 9 based on the lamp signal, and turns on / off the game effect lamp 9 in a mode designated by the lamp signal. do. In this way, the display control unit 123 controls the audio output and the lighting / extinguishing of the lamp.

The effect control CPU 120 executes audio output, lamp lighting / extinguishing control (sound designation signal, lamp signal supply, etc.), and movable body 32 control (signal supply for operating the movable body 32, etc.). You may do so.

The random number circuit 124 counts updatable numerical data indicating various random number values (random numbers for effect) used for executing various effects. The effect random number may be one that is updated (updated by software) when the effect control CPU 120 executes a predetermined computer program.

Boards other than the main board 11, such as the effect control board 12, the sound control board 13, and the lamp control board 14, are also referred to as sub-boards. A plurality of sub-boards may be provided for each function as in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or one sub-board may be configured to have a plurality of functions.

(motion)
Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operation of the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the gaming control main process is executed by the CPU 103. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103 on the main board 11.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (step S2). The initial setting includes a stack pointer setting, a register setting of a built-in device (CTC (counter / timer circuit), a parallel input / output port, etc.), a setting for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the clear switch is ON (step S3). The clear switch is mounted on the power supply board, for example. When the power is turned on with the clear switch turned on, an output signal (clear signal) is input to the game control microcomputer 100 via the input port. When the output signal from the clear switch is on (step S3; Yes), the initialization process (step S8) is executed. In the initialization process, the CPU 103 performs a RAM clear process for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and sets initial values in the work area.

Further, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing initialization to the effect control board 12 (step S9). Upon receiving the effect control command, the effect control CPU 120 displays a screen for notifying, for example, that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized in the image display device 5.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not on (step S3; No), it is determined whether or not the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power failure), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko gaming machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stop of the power supply. In this power supply stop processing, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is backed up to the RAM 102, a process of protecting the data of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. The data protection process includes addition of an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and a process of backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes various data for advancing the game (including various flags, various timer states, etc.), as well as the state of the backup flag and the error detection code. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is on. When the backup flag is off and the backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (used by using an error detection code) and determines whether or not the data is normal (step). S5). In step S5, for example, it is determined by the parity bit or the checksum whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data at the time when the power supply is stopped. When it is determined that these match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply is stopped, so the initialization process (step S8) is executed.

When it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs a recovery process (step S6) for returning the internal state of the main board 11 to the state when the power supply is stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the stored contents (contents of the backed up data) of the RAM 102. As a result, the game state is restored when the power supply is stopped, and if the special symbol is being changed, the change of the special symbol is restarted from the state before the restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. Will be.

Then, the CPU 103 transmits an effect control command instructing recovery from the power failure to the effect control board 12 (step S7). Along with this, an effect control command that specifies the game state before the power failure that is backed up, and an effect control that specifies the display result of the special figure game that is being executed when the special figure game is being executed. You may want to send a command. For these commands, the same commands that are set to be transmitted in the special symbol process processing described later can be used. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command for specifying the time of recovery from the power failure, the image display device 5, for example, notifies that the image display device 5 has recovered from the power failure or is recovering from the power failure. Display the screen to do so. The effect control CPU 120 may display an appropriate screen based on the effect control command.

After the restoration process or the initialization process is completed and the effect control command is transmitted to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the CTC register built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer is interrupted periodically every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and interrupts are permitted (step S12). ). After that, the loop processing is started. After that, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute the timer interrupt process.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process to enter the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port via the switch circuit 110. It is determined whether or not detection signals are received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing a predetermined error processing on the main side, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, the jackpot information (information indicating the number of times the jackpot has occurred) and the start information (starting) supplied to the hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1. Data such as information such as the number of times of winning and the probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of the probability change state) are output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process process (step S25). By executing the special symbol process process for each timer interrupt by the CPU 103, it is possible to manage the execution and hold of the special symbol game, control the big hit game state and the small hit game state, control the game state, and the like (details are provided). See below).

Following the special symbol process process, the normal symbol process process is executed (step S26). By executing the normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, the CPU 103 manages the execution and hold of the normal figure game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the passage of the game ball through the passing gate 41). It enables opening control of the variable winning ball device 6B based on "per-figure". The execution of the normal figure game is performed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the normal figure hold display 25C is turned on to display the number of normal figure hold.

After executing the normal symbol process process, as a part of the game control timer interrupt process, a process when a power failure occurs, a process for paying out a prize ball, and the like may be performed. After that, the CPU 103 executes the command control process (step S27). The CPU 103 may send and set an effect control command in each of the above processes. In the command control process of step S27, a process of transmitting the effect control command set for transmission to a control board on the sub side such as the effect control board 12 is performed. After executing the command control process, the interrupt is permitted and then the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

In the start winning determination process, a process of detecting the occurrence of a start winning, storing the hold information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102, and updating the hold storage number is executed. When the start winning is generated, the display result (including the jackpot type) and the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted and stored as hold information. Further, a process of pre-reading and determining a display result or a fluctuation pattern may be executed based on the extracted random number value. After the hold information and the number of hold storages are stored, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the generation of the start winning prize, the number of hold storages, the look-ahead determination, etc. is made on the effect control board 12. .. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4, for example, after the special symbol process process is completed. Is transmitted to.

After executing the start winning determination process in S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes any of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM 102. In each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, a transmission setting for transmitting an effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal processing in step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0” (initial value). In this special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether or not to start the first special figure game or the second special figure game based on the presence or absence of the reserved information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is set to "big hit" or "small hit" based on the random number value for determining the display result, and the big hit type when the display result is set to "big hit". Is determined (predetermined) before the display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal processing, a definite special symbol (either a big hit symbol, a small hit symbol, or a missed symbol) to be stopped and displayed in the special symbol game is set according to the determined display result. After that, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal processing ends. It should be noted that the special figure game using the second special figure may be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure (also referred to as special figure 2 priority digestion). Further, the winning order of the game balls to the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the starting condition of the special figure game may be satisfied in the winning order (also referred to as winning order digestion).

When making various decisions based on the random number value, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (a table in which the decision value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the decision result) are referred to. The same applies to other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12. In the effect control board 12, various tables are stored in the ROM 121.

The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this fluctuation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns is used by using a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern based on the pre-determination result of whether or not the display result is "big hit" or "small hit". It includes the process of determining. In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The fluctuation pattern includes the execution time of the special figure game (special figure fluctuation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the variable display mode of the decorative symbol (presence or absence of reach, etc.), and the variable display of the decorative symbol. It specifies the content of the effect (type of reach effect, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. In this special symbol variation processing, the processing for setting the special symbol to be varied in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol are performed. It includes processing to measure. In addition, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol reaches the special symbol fluctuation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation process ends.

The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the fluctuation of the special symbol, and stop display (derive) the confirmed special symbol that is the display result of the special symbol. Contains the process of making settings for. Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". If the display result is "off", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "missing", the game state is also updated when the time reduction state or the probability change state is controlled and the end of the number of times cut is established. When the value of the special symbol process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. This big hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting to open the big winning opening by starting the execution of the round in the big hit game state based on the display result being "big hit". It has been. When the large winning opening is opened, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, the open upper limit period for opening the big winning opening and the upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to which type of big hit. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the jackpot release preprocessing ends.

The process of opening the jackpot in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. In this big hit opening process, the big winning opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is opened, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. It includes a process of determining whether or not it is time to return the device from the open state to the closed state. Then, when the large winning opening is returned to the closed state, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6" after executing a process of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door. End the processing while the jackpot is open.

The post-processing after opening the jackpot in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this big hit post-opening process, there is a process of determining whether or not the number of rounds to be executed with the big winning opening open has reached the set maximum number of executions, and a big hit game state when the maximum number of executions has been reached. It includes the process of making settings to terminate. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the upper limit, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of round executions reaches the upper limit, the special figure process flag is set. The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end process of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. In this jackpot end process, there is a process of waiting until the waiting time corresponding to the period corresponding to the period in which the ending effect as an effect effect for notifying the end of the jackpot game state is executed, and a probable change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing to make various settings to start control and time reduction control. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot end process ends.

The small hit release preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This small hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting the large winning opening to be in the open state in the small hit game state based on the display result being "small hit". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit opening preprocessing ends.

The small hit opening process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. In this small hit opening process, it is the timing to return the big prize opening from the open state to the closed state based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from the opening state of the big winning opening and the measured elapsed time. It includes a process to determine whether or not it is. When the large winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small hit game state is reached, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the processing during the small hit opening process ends.

The small hit end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. The small hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which the effect operation for notifying the end of the small hit game state is executed has elapsed. Here, when the small hit gaming state ends, the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit game state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small hit end process ends.

(Main operation of the effect control board 12)
Next, the main operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated to execute the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 6 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and sets the effect control board 12. Set the registers of the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Further, the initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial operation control process, control for performing the initial operation of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined operation, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses, based on the register setting of the CTC, for example. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeatedly executed and waits.

Further, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disabled, but if a CPU that is not automatically interrupt disabled is used, the interrupt is interrupted. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI command). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, among the input ports included in the I / O 125, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port that receives the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15. The effect control command captured at this time is stored in, for example, the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122. After that, the effect control CPU 120 sets the interrupt enable, and then ends the command reception interrupt process.

If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S74), and the command analysis process is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control commands are used. Corresponding settings and controls are made. For example, the read effect control command may be stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 or stored in the RAM 122 so that which effect control command is received and the content specified by the effect control command can be confirmed by the effect control process processing or the like. Turn on the provided receive flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display the background according to the game state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the image display device 5, an audio output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitting body such as a game effect lamp 9 and a decorative LED, and a movable body 32. Controls are performed to operate various production devices such as the driving operation of the LED. Further, regarding the control content of the effect operation using various effect devices, determination, determination, setting, etc. are performed according to the effect control command or the like transmitted from the main board 11.

Following the effect control process process in step S76, the effect random number update process is executed (step S77), and at least a part of the effect random numbers used on the effect control board 12 side is updated by the software. After that, the process returns to the process of step S73. Other processes may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process process. In the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the look-ahead notice setting process, for example, a determination, determination, setting, and the like for executing the look-ahead notice effect are performed based on the effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is transmitted from the main board 11. In addition, a process for displaying the hold display is executed based on the number of hold storages specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes any of the following processes of steps S170 to S177 according to the value of the effect process flag provided in, for example, the RAM 122.

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0” (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command for designating the start of variable display is received from the main board 11. And so on. When it is determined that the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 is to be started, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. In this variable display start setting process, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol (fixed decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the reach effect, and various types are based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command. It is determined whether or not various effects such as a notice effect are executed, the mode thereof, and the execution start timing. Then, an effect control pattern (a collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) that reflects the determination result and the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start the execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start the variable display of the decorative symbol in response to the instruction to start the execution of the variable display of the decorative symbol.

The variable display effect process in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , Driving the movable body 32, outputting voice and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and commands (illuminated signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effect controls are executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern, such as turning on / off / blinking the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED by the output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read from the effect control pattern, or a command is received from the main board 11 to specify that the fixed decorative symbol is to be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, the final decorative symbol, which is the display result of the decorative symbol, is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "3", and the effect process during variable display ends.

The special figure hit waiting process in step S173 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state has been received from the main board 11. Then, when the effect control command for specifying the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received, if the command specifies the start of the big hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is set to "6". Update to. On the other hand, if the command specifies the start of the small hit game state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "4", which is the value corresponding to the small hit medium effect process. Further, when the reception waiting time of the command has elapsed without receiving the command specifying to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "missing". Then, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the effect process flag is updated, the waiting process for hitting the special figure ends.

The small hit medium effect process in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “4”. In this small hit medium effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the small hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the small hit game state based on the set content. .. Further, in the small hit middle effect process, for example, the value of the effect process flag is set to the value corresponding to the small hit end effect in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the small hit game state. Update to a certain "5" and end the small hit medium production process.

The small hit end effect process in step S175 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “5”. In this small hit end effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the small hit game state, and various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the setting contents. To execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the small hit end effect process is terminated.

The jackpot effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the big hit game state, and executes various effect controls in the big hit game state based on the set content. Further, in the big hit middle effect process, for example, the value of the effect control process flag is a value corresponding to the ending effect process in response to receiving a command from the main board 11 to specify the end of the big hit game state. It is updated to 7 "and the production process during the big hit is completed.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big hit game state, and various effect controls of the ending effect at the end of the big hit game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

In the first hold storage display area 008SG005D and the second hold storage display area 008SG005U, the hold storage display for identifiablely displaying the hold storage number (special figure hold storage number) of the variable display corresponding to the special figure game is performed.

Here, in the hold of the variable display corresponding to the special figure game, the game ball passes (enters) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B. ) Generates based on the starting prize. That is, the start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing the variable display game such as the special figure game or the variable display of the decorative symbol is satisfied, but the variable display game based on the previously satisfied start condition is being executed. When the start condition that allows the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko game machine 1 is controlled to the jackpot game state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Will be done. In this feature unit 008SG, the hold memory display generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening and the start by the game ball passing (entering) through the second starting winning opening. Similarly, the hold storage display generated based on the winning is a round white display.

In the following description, the first hold storage display area 008SG005D and the second hold storage display area 008SG005U may be referred to as a hold display area, and the number of hold storages is the first hold storage display area 008SG005D and the second hold storage display. It can be recognized by the number of hold storage displays displayed in the area 008SG005U. Further, the display in which the hold storage displays are collected may be referred to as a hold display.

Whether the hold display in the first hold storage display area 008SG005D and the second hold storage display area 008SG005U is generated based on the start prize caused by the game ball passing (entering) the first start prize opening, or the second. The display mode (for example, display color and shape) may be different depending on whether the game ball is generated based on the start prize due to the passing (entry) of the game ball through the start prize opening. In this embodiment, "execution" and "implementation" are synonymous.

As shown in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-3, the main substrate 11 in the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment is housed in the substrate case 008SG201 which is configured to be openable by the first member and the second member.

In the present embodiment, each random value MR1 to MR5 is used as a value in the range shown in FIG. 8-5, but the present invention is not limited to this, and each random value is not limited to this. The range of MR1 to MR5 may be different depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

FIG. 8-6 (A) shows the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 008SG. In the feature unit 008SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol corresponds to the case of "non-reach" and the case of "reach", and is variable. A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the display result is a "big hit". Further, one variation pattern is prepared in advance in response to a case where the variable display result is a “small hit”. The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is referred to as a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the missed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “missing”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" is referred to as a small hit fluctuation pattern.

The jackpot fluctuation pattern and reach fluctuation pattern include a normal reach fluctuation pattern in which a normal reach reach effect is executed, and a super reach variation pattern in which a super reach effect such as super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ is executed. There is a fluctuation pattern. In the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and like the super reach, the normal reach α, the normal reach β, ... A plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided. Further, the super reach fluctuation pattern may be provided, or 5 or more super reach fluctuation patterns may be provided.

As shown in FIG. 8-6 (A), regarding the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment, the super reach fluctuation pattern, the super reach α, It is set shorter than Super Reach β, Super Reach γ, and Super Reach δ. Further, regarding the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach fluctuation pattern in which the super reach reach effect such as super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ is executed in the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment, the super reach The special figure fluctuation pattern is set longer in the order of δ, super reach γ, super reach β, and super reach α.

In this embodiment, since the variable display result is set to be "big hit" in the order of super reach δ, super reach γ, super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the jackpot expectation is high. In the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

However, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ, the variable display result is notified that the variable display result is a big hit after once notifying that the variable display result is out of order as the reach effect of the super reach γ. A variation pattern (PB1-5 shown in FIGS. 8-6) for executing the revival effect is provided. Therefore, the variation pattern of the super reach γ that executes the revival effect is set to have a longer special map variation time than the normal super reach γ variation pattern and a shorter special map variation time than the super reach δ variation pattern. However, it is an exceptionally high fluctuation pattern (100%) with the highest expectation of big hits.

The fluctuation pattern of the super reach α, the super reach β, and the super reach γ is also a fluctuation pattern that executes a pseudo-continuous effect including a temporary stop and a revariable display of the decorative symbol during the variable display. Of these, as the fluctuation pattern of Super Reach α, there are two fluctuation patterns in which the special figure fluctuation time differs depending on whether the variable display result is a big hit or not, and both are pseudo-ream during the variable display. It is a fluctuation pattern in which the production is executed once. Further, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β is a fluctuation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed twice during the variable display. Further, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ is a fluctuation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display regardless of whether or not the revival effect is executed.

As described above, in the feature unit 008SG, regarding the fluctuation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, and super reach γ, the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ is the fluctuation pattern with the highest expectation of big hit, and the fluctuation pattern is super reach. Since the variation pattern of α is the variation pattern with the lowest expectation of big hit, the variation pattern of executing the pseudo-continuous effect three times during the variable display has the highest expectation of big hit. The fluctuation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once during the variable display is set to have the lowest jackpot expectation.

Further, the fluctuation pattern in the feature unit 008SG includes an image during the variable display during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach (more accurately, the period between the period in which the advance notice effect can be executed and the reach timing). A meter effect that displays the meter 008SG005m (see FIG. 8-38) on the display device 5 and notifies the effect to be executed by the variable display according to the update mode of the meter 008SG005m, and a pseudo continuous effect by the variable display. There is an interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect that suggests to be executed, and a thing to execute. The interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is an effect that is executed by interrupting with either a success pattern or a failure pattern during the execution of the meter effect. The interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is an effect that urges the player to defeat the enemy character displayed on the image display device 5 by repeatedly hitting the push button 31B. When the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern, the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified by defeating the enemy character displayed on the image display device 5 by the player's push button 31B repeated hitting operation. When the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the pseudo-continuous effect is not performed because the enemy character displayed on the image display device 5 is not defeated by the player's push button 31B repeated hitting operation. Execution is suggested.

After the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the meter effect is restarted after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), the non-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1 to PA1-4) and the small hit fluctuation pattern (PC1-1) are metered during the variable display. It is a fluctuation pattern in which neither the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect nor the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed. In addition, the normal reach fluctuation patterns (PA2-1A, PB1-1A) in which the special figure fluctuation time is 2000 ms without executing the pseudo-ream effect during the variable display are the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect during the variable display. It is a fluctuation pattern that neither is executed.

In addition, the normal reach fluctuation patterns (PA2-1B, PB1-1B) in which the special figure fluctuation time is 25,000 ms without executing the pseudo-ream effect during the variable display are the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect during the variable display. Of these, only the meter effect is executed. In the meter effect, the execution of the reach effect of the normal reach is finally notified.

Further, the fluctuation pattern (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) of the super reach α in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once during the variable display and the special figure variation time is 48,000 ms is both the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous effect. Is a variation pattern that executes. During the variable display in these fluctuation patterns (PA2-2A, PA1-2A), the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern during the execution of the meter effect. Then, after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect in the failure pattern is completed, the meter effect that was interrupted by the interruption of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is restarted. In the restarted meter effect, the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is finally notified.

Further, the fluctuation pattern (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) of the super reach α in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once during the variable display and the special figure variation time is 53000 ms is both the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous effect. Is a variation pattern that executes. During the variable display in these fluctuation patterns (PA2-2B, PB1-2B), the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern during the execution of the meter effect.

Further, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β (PA2-3, PB1-3) that executes the pseudo-continuous effect twice during the variable display and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ (PA2) that executes the pseudo-continuous effect three times during the variable display. -4, PB1-4, PB1-5) is a variation pattern that executes both the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-branch effect. During the variable display in these fluctuation patterns (PA2-3, PB1-3, PA2-4, PB1-4, PB1-5), the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern during the execution of the meter effect. To.

Further, as for the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ (PA2-5, PB1-6), only the meter effect is executed among the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. In the meter effect, the execution of the reach effect of the super reach δ is finally notified.

In the feature section 008SG of the present embodiment, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are referred to as the type of fluctuation pattern, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, and the like. After the determination is made first, the fluctuation patterns belonging to the determined types are not determined, but are determined using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided, and the variation is made from the random values for determining the variation pattern type. The type of the pattern may be determined first, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the determined type.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6, the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the variation content (effect content) is predetermined for each variation pattern, but the present invention illustrates this. The variation content (effect content) may be different even if the variation pattern is the same, depending on the set value. For example, the fluctuation pattern PA2-1A that is out of normal reach is a fluctuation pattern that is out of normal reach if the set value is 1, and if the set value is 2, the pseudo-continuous effect is performed twice. If the set value is 3 as the fluctuation pattern that is executed and the non-reach is out of reach, the pseudo-continuous effect may be executed three times to make the fluctuation pattern that is out of the super reach, and the like.

In the game control microcomputer 100, the CPU 103 executes a program read from the ROM 101, and by using the RAM 102 as a work area, various processes for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are executed. Further, the CPU 103 can generate all of the various random numbers used on the main board 11 side by executing the random number generation program.

The ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 stores various table data and the like used for controlling the progress of the game in addition to the game control program. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data that constitutes a plurality of determination tables shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-14, which are prepared by the CPU 103 for performing various determinations and determinations.

As described above, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), more judgment values than in the normal state or the time saving state are the special figures of "big hit". It is assigned to the display result. As a result, in the probabilistic state in which the probabilistic change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the probability that it is determined to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" in the big hit game state in the normal state or the time saving state (the present embodiment).

In the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10, the multiplying factor of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state and the time saving state is different according to each set value. Different (for example, if the set value is 1, the probability variation of the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is 1.5 times, and if the setting value is 2, the probability variation with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is 1.5 times. The multiplier of the jackpot probability in the state is about 1.56 times, and if the set value is 3, the multiplier of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is 1.625 times). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the multiplying factor of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state and the time saving state at each set value is constant (for example, 5 times). ) May be set.

Further, in each first special figure display result determination table, the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is the same regardless of the game state or the set value. Judgment values are assigned as follows. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 and 8-8, in the first special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is set as a "small hit" regardless of the game state or the set value. The probability of being determined to control the small hit game state is set to 1/200.

On the other hand, in each display result determination table for the second special figure, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the small hit game state as a "small hit" is the first special regardless of the game state or the set value. Judgment values are assigned so that the values are the same as those in the display result judgment table for figures. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10, in the second special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is regarded as a "small hit" regardless of the game state or the set value. The probability of being determined to control the small hit game state is set to 1/100.

It should be noted that the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the probability of being determined to control the small hit game state with the special figure display result as "small hit" is the same regardless of the set value. The present invention is not limited to this, and the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit gaming state may be different depending on the set value. Further, the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the probability of being determined to control the small hit gaming state by setting the special map display result as a "small hit" according to the variable special map is different. The invention is not limited to this, and the probability of being determined to control the small hit gaming state with the special map display result as a "small hit" may be the same probability regardless of the variable special map.

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit judgment values assigned to "big hit" and "small hit" in each display result judgment table, the display result for the first special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state. In the determination table, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the jackpot determination values for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the setting value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the setting value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the setting value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the setting value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the value is in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, the common numerical value among the big hit judgment values is common. Numerical values within the range obtained by adding the non-common numerical range to the numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). go.

In the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit determination values is to determine the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value of. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value as described above, while they are small. The hit judgment value is 32767 to 33094 with 32767 as the reference value (small hit reference value) of the small hit judgment value in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit judgment value (1020 to 1346) in the case of the set value 6. Since it is set in the range, it is prevented that the numerical range of the small hit determination value overlaps with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

Next, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the probability change state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value is a range of 1347 to 1383 for the setting value 2, a range of 1347 to 1429 for the setting value 3, a range of 1347 to 1487 for the setting value 4, and a range of 1347 to 1556 for the setting value 5. , The setting value 6 is set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

That is, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the gaming state is the probable change state, the value can be taken in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1. Of the hit judgment values, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, the common numerical range of the big hit judgment values is set. Numerical values within the range including the non-common numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1347 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). go.

In the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the probable change state, the hit determination value is the same as in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state. Of these, the range from 32767 to 33094 is set to the common numerical range of the small hit determination value for determining the small hit regardless of the set value. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, 1020 to 1674 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value as described above, while they are small. The hit determination value is 32767 to 33094 with 32767 as the reference value (small hit reference value) of the small hit determination value in a numerical range different from the range of the large hit determination value (1020 to 1674) in the case of the set value 6. Since it is set in the range, it is prevented that the numerical range of the small hit determination value overlaps with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

In the display result judgment table for the second special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit judgment values is the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1237 are assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value is a range of 1238 to 1253 for the setting value 2, a range of 1238 to 1272 for the setting value 3, a range of 1238 to 1292 for the setting value 4, and a range of 1238 to 1317 for the setting value 5. , The set value 6 is set in the range of 1238 to 1346, respectively.

That is, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, in the display result determination table for the second special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the value is in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1. Of the hit judgment values that can be taken, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, the common numerical value among the big hit judgment values is common. Numerical values within the range obtained by adding the non-common numerical range to the numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). go.

In the display result determination table for the second special figure when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33421 of the hit determination values is to determine the small hit regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value of. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value as described above, while they are small. The hit determination value is 32767 to 33421 with 32767 as the reference value (small hit reference value) of the small hit determination value in a numerical range different from the range of the large hit determination value (1020 to 1346) in the case of the set value 6. Since it is set in the range, it is prevented that the numerical range of the small hit determination value overlaps with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

Next, in the display result determination table for the second special figure when the gaming state is the probability change state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. It is set in the common numerical range of.

When the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the big hit judgment value for judging the big hit is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "big hit"), while the set value 2 In the case of the set value 6, the numerical range corresponding to each set value is set as the non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value. The non-common numerical range of the jackpot determination value is a range of 1347 to 1383 for the setting value 2, a range of 1347 to 1429 for the setting value 3, a range of 1347 to 1487 for the setting value 4, and a range of 1347 to 1556 for the setting value 5. , The setting value 6 is set in the range of 1347 to 1674, respectively.

That is, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, in the display result determination table for FIG. 2 when the gaming state is the probable change state, when the set value is 1, the value can be taken in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the judgment values, only the values in the common numerical range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, the big hit judgment values are not in the common numerical range. Numerical values within the range including the common numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1347 as the value of the set value increases.

Therefore, the jackpot probability increases as the non-common numerical range continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the jackpot determination value (big hit reference value). go.

In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the probable change state, the hit determination value is the same as in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state. Of these, the range from 32767 to 33421 is set to the common numerical range of the small hit determination value for determining the small hit regardless of the set value. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, 1020 to 1674 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value as described above, while they are small. The hit determination value is 32767 to 33421 with 32767 as the reference value (small hit reference value) of the small hit determination value in a numerical range different from the range of the large hit determination value (1020 to 1674) in the case of the set value 6. Since it is set in the range, it is prevented that the numerical range of the small hit determination value overlaps with the range of the big hit determination value that changes according to each set value.

As described above, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, in each display result determination table, regardless of the game state and the set value, the common numerical range or the common numerical range and the non-common numerical range are set based on the hit determination value 1020. The judgment value included in the continuous numerical range of 1 consisting of is set as the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and the continuous numerical range of 1 is based on the hit judgment value 32767 regardless of the game state and the set value (common). The variable display result is judged by using the judgment value included in the numerical range) as the numerical range of the small hit judgment value.

Further, in each of these display result determination tables, when the fluctuation special figures are the same, the numerical range of the small hit determination value is the same regardless of the gaming state (the number of determination values included in the numerical range of the small hit determination value is the same. Same). Further, the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value differs depending on whether the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure (small in the display result judgment table for the first special figure). While the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the hit judgment value is 328, the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value in the display result judgment table for the second special figure is about 655. On the other hand, the numerical range of the small hit determination value itself is set with 32767 as a reference value (small hit reference value).

Further, as described above, in each gaming state, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, there is a probability that it is determined that the special figure display result is controlled to the jackpot gaming state as the "big hit". Judgment values are assigned so that the lower the value and the larger the value of the set value, the higher the probability that the special figure display result will be determined to be controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit" (big hit probability: set value 6> set value). 5> Setting value 4> Setting value 3> Setting value 2> Setting value 1).

That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table corresponding to the set value set at that time, and when the value of MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the jackpot, the CPU 103 hits the jackpot (big hit) with respect to the special symbol. It is decided to make A to big hit C). Further, when MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hit, it is determined that the special symbol is a small hit. That is, the winning of the big hit and the small hit is decided with the probability according to the set value. The "probability" shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10 indicates the probability of a big hit (ratio) and the probability of a small hit (ratio). Further, determining whether or not to make a big hit means determining whether or not to control the big hit gaming state, but the stop symbol in the first special symbol display device 008SG004A or the second special symbol display device 008SG004B is determined. It also means deciding whether or not to make a big hit design. Further, determining whether or not to make a small hit means determining whether or not to control the small hit gaming state, but the stop in the first special symbol display device 008SG004A or the second special symbol display device 008SG004B. It also means deciding whether or not to make the symbol a small hit symbol.

In the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, a total of 6 setting values of 1 to 6 are provided as setting values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The set value that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more.

8-11 (A) and 8-11 (B) are explanatory views showing a jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. Is. Of these, FIG. 8-11 (A) determines the jackpot type using the hold memory based on the game ball winning the first start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed). It is a table when you do. Further, FIG. 8-11 (B) determines the jackpot type using the hold memory based on the game ball winning the second start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed). It is a table of cases.

In the jackpot type determination table, when it is determined that the variable display result is a jackpot symbol, the jackpot type is selected from jackpot A to jackpot C based on the random number (MR2) for determining the jackpot type. It is a table referenced to determine.

The big hit game state by "big hit A" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is changed to the first state which is advantageous for the player five times (so-called 5 rounds) and is repeatedly executed. The big hit game state by "B" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 10 times (so-called 10 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state which is advantageous for the player. Further, the big hit game state by the "big hit C" is a normal open big hit in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is repeatedly executed 15 times (so-called 15 rounds) to change the special variable winning ball device 7 into the first state advantageous to the player.

The time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "big hit A" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment), or the special figure game of the predetermined number of times is executed. Figure Ends when the game is in a big hit game state before the game is executed.

On the other hand, the high-accuracy control and the time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state of the jackpot B or the jackpot C are continuously executed until the jackpot occurs again after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when the big hit that occurs again is the big hit B or the big hit C, the high accuracy control and the time saving control are executed again after the end of the big hit gaming state, so that the big hit gaming state is continuous without going through the normal state. It becomes a so-called consecutive villa state that occurs in.

As described above, when the deviation pattern determination tables A to D are used, the ratio for determining the non-reach variation pattern and the normal reach variation pattern is set higher than the ratio for determining the super reach variation pattern. When the deviation pattern determination tables A to D are used, 701 to 850 of the determination values are the deviation patterns of the super reach α, and 851 to 930 are the deviation patterns of the super reach β, regardless of the variation pattern determination table. Fluctuation patterns, 931 to 970 are assigned to the fluctuation patterns of the super reach γ, and 971 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation patterns of the super reach δ deviation. Since the fluctuation pattern is determined by a common determination ratio, it is possible to prevent the effect from being reduced due to the fact that the variable display based on the fluctuation pattern of the super reach is not executed.

In the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment, the fluctuation patterns for the outliers are the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α deviation, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β deviation, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation, and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ deviation. Although each determination ratio exemplifies a completely same form between each set value, the present invention is not limited to this, and these fluctuation patterns of super reach α deviation and fluctuation of super reach β deviation are illustrated. The determination ratios of the pattern, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation, and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ deviation may be different in each set value.

In the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the embodiment in which the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach is the same is exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. If the variable display result is out of order, the determination ratios of all the fluctuation patterns of non-reach, normal reach, and super reach may be the same, and the fluctuation of either non-reach or normal reach may be the same. Only the pattern determination ratios may be the same.

The non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern (PA1-2) has a shorter variation time than the non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern (PA1-1) without shortening, and the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-2) is shorter than the variation pattern (PA1-2). The deviation pattern (PA1-3) has a shorter fluctuation time (see FIG. 8-6). Therefore, when the number of reserved storages increases, the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern with a short fluctuation time is determined, so that the reserved storages are easily digested, and the number of reserved storages reaches the upper limit of 4. By winning the start prize while the player is in the game, it becomes difficult to generate a useless start prize that is not stored on hold. By determining the pattern (PA1-1), the variable display time becomes long, and it becomes possible to prevent the game from being less interesting due to the variable display not being executed.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-14 (A) to 8-14 (C), variations are made using a variation pattern determination table for loss, which differs depending on the total number of reserved storages. Although the embodiment for determining the pattern is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reserved storage number in the special symbol to be changed (for example, when the variable display of the first special symbol is executed, the first is the first. A variation pattern may be determined using a variation pattern determination table for loss depending on the number of reserved storages of the special symbol and the number of reserved storages of the second special symbol when the variable display of the second special symbol is executed).

Further, the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a form in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between whether or not to execute the reach effect for each determined fluctuation pattern and which reach effect is to be executed. The present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not the effect control CPU 120 executes the reach effect based on the special figure variation time of the variation pattern, the variable display result, etc., and which reach effect is executed. You may decide whether to do it by lottery.

The RAM 102 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 8-1 may be a backup RAM in which a part or all of the RAM 102 is backed up by a backup power source created on a predetermined power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 102 are stored for a predetermined period (until the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged and the backup power supply cannot be supplied with power). To. In particular, at least the data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (such as the special figure process flag) and the data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls may be stored in the backup RAM. The data according to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for recovering the control state before the occurrence of the power failure or the like based on the data when the data is restored after the power failure or the like occurs.

Random numbers that are not generated by the random number circuit 104, for example, numerical data indicating random numbers MR2 to MR4, are stored as random count values in the random counter of the game control counter setting unit, and are periodically executed according to the execution of software by the CPU 103. Numerical data indicating each random number value is updated targetly or irregularly. The software executed by the CPU 103 to update the random count value may be for updating the random count value separately from the operation of updating the numerical data in the random number circuit 104, or may be extracted from the random number circuit 104. It may be for updating the random count value by performing a predetermined process such as scramble processing or arithmetic processing on all or a part of the numerical data.

The game control buffer setting unit is provided with various buffers for temporarily storing data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, the game control buffer setting unit stores data indicating buffer values in each of a plurality of types of buffers.

Further, the RAM 122 mounted on the effect control board 12 is provided with an effect control data holding area as an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation. The effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit, an effect control timer setting unit, an effect control counter setting unit, and an effect control buffer setting unit.

The command buffer received at the time of starting winning corresponds to the storage area (buffer numbers "1-1" to "1-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the first special figure reserved storage. A storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “1-0”) corresponding to the first special figure during variable display is provided. Further, in the start winning command buffer, the storage area (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-4" corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total number of reserved storages in the second special figure reserved storage is stored. A storage area (area corresponding to the buffer number “2-0”) corresponding to the second special figure during variable display is provided. When there is a start winning to the 1st start winning opening or the 2nd starting winning opening, the starting opening winning designation command (1st starting opening winning designation command or the 2nd starting opening winning designation command) or the hold storage number notification command ( A command such as the first reserved storage number notification command or the second reserved storage number notification command) is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the 1st special figure hold storage and the storage area corresponding to the 2nd special figure hold storage in the received command buffer at the time of start winning associate these commands, and the 1st special figure hold storage and the 2nd special figure hold storage. Figure A storage area (entry) for storing separately from the reserved storage is secured.

The stored contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and the variable display of the highest held storage (buffer number "1-1" or buffer number "2-1") is started. It is shifted to the upper level one by one.

The effect control CPU 120 stores the command at the time of the start winning to the first start winning opening from the beginning (the youngest entry of the buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure hold storage of the received command buffer at the time of the start winning. At the time of starting winning to the second starting winning opening, the command is stored from the beginning (the entry with the youngest buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the second special figure hold storage of the received command buffer at the time of starting winning. At the time of the start winning, the start opening prize designation command to the hold storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, when the command is received, each command is stored in the storage area corresponding to each of the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure hold storage or the second special figure hold storage. I will go.

Next, the process executed by the CPU 103 in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-15 is a flowchart showing the start winning determination process (S101) shown in FIG. In the start winning determination process, as shown in FIG. 8-15, the CPU 103 first receives a detection signal from the first start opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the first start port switch 22A is on (step 008SGS501a). At this time, if the first start port switch 22A is on (step 008SGS501a; Y), the number of reserved special figure reservations, which is the number of reserved special figure games using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value. (For example, it is determined whether or not it is "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 008SGS502). The CPU 103 may specify the first special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the first reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the first reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit. When the number of reserved storages in the first special figure is not the upper limit value (step 008SGS502; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit is set to "1" (step 008SGS503).

Variable when the first start port switch 22A is off in step 008SGS501a (step 008SGS501a; N) or when the first special figure reserved storage number reaches the upper limit value in step 008SGS502 (step 008SGS502; Y). Based on the detection signal from the second starting port switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether or not the second starting opening switch 22B is on (step). 008SGS501b). At this time, if the second start port switch 22B is on (step 008SGS501b; Y), the second special figure reserved storage number, which is the reserved storage number of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value. (For example, it is determined whether or not it is "4" as the upper limit storage number) (step 008SGS505). The CPU 103 may specify the second special figure reserved storage number by reading, for example, the second reserved storage number count value which is the stored value of the second reserved storage number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit. When the second special figure reserved storage number is not the upper limit value in step 008SGS505 (step 008SGS505; N), for example, the stored value of the start port buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit is set to "2" (step). 008SGS506).

When the second start port switch is not on (step 008SGS501b; N) or when the second special figure reserved storage number is the upper limit value (step 008SGS505; Y), the start winning determination process is terminated.

After executing any of the processes of step 008SGS503 and step 008SGS506, the number of special figure reserved storage corresponding to the start port buffer value, which is the storage value of the start port buffer, is updated to be added by 1 (step 008SGS507). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the first hold storage count value is added by 1, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the second hold storage count value is added by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. Further, the second reserved memory count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is satisfied. Updated to increase. At this time, the total number of reserved storages is also updated to be added by 1 (step 008SGS508). For example, the total hold storage count value, which is the storage value of the total hold storage counter provided in the game control counter setting unit, may be updated to be added by 1.

After executing the process of step 008SGS508, the CPU 103 uses the random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the jackpot type determination from among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random counter of the game control counter setting unit. Numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 and the random number value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern are extracted (step 008SGS509). Numerical data indicating each random value extracted in this way is stored by being set as hold information at the beginning of an empty entry in the special figure hold storage unit corresponding to the start port buffer value (step 008SGS510). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the numerical data indicating the random numbers MR1 to MR3 is stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit, while when the start port buffer value is "2", the first special figure is stored. 2 Numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the special figure hold storage unit.

Numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result and the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type determine whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or decorative symbol is "big hit", and further, the variable display result. It is used to determine the type of big hit when it is called "big hit". The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbol or the decorative symbol. By executing the process of step 008SGS509, the CPU 103 extracts numerical data indicating all of the random number values used for determining the variable display result including the variable display result of the special symbol and the decorative symbol and the variable display time.

Following the process of step 008SGS510, the transmission setting of the start opening winning designation command according to the start opening buffer value is performed (step 008SGS511). For example, when the start port buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. 12 is set to send the first start opening winning designation command. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second start port winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer, so that the effect control board 12 is used. The setting for sending the second start opening prize designation command is made. The start port winning designation command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. Will be done.

Following the process of step 008SGS511, the winning random number value determination process is executed (step 008SGS512). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the hold storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, the hold storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12. (Step 008SGS513). The hold storage number notification command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. 4 after the special symbol process process is completed. Will be done.

After executing the process of step 008SGS513, it is determined whether or not the start port buffer value is “1” (step 008SGS514). At this time, if the start port buffer value is "1" (step 008SGS514; Y), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 008SGS515), and then the process of step 008SGS501b is performed. move on. On the other hand, when the start port buffer value is "2" (step 008SGS514; N), the start port buffer is cleared, the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 008SGS516), and then the start prize is won. The judgment process is terminated. As a result, even when both the first start port switch 22A and the second start port switch 22B detect a valid start prize for the game ball at the same time, the process based on the detection of both valid start prizes can be surely completed.

FIG. 8-16 (A) is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step 008SGS512 of FIG. 8-15 as the winning random number value determination process. When the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is started in the feature unit 008SG, the game state, the special symbol for executing the variable display, and the display according to the set value in the special symbol normal processing (step S22 in FIG. 5) are started. Select the result judgment table (see FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10), and use the selected display result judgment table to set the special figure display result (variable display result of the special symbol) as "big hit" and make a big hit game state. It is determined whether or not to control the game and whether or not to control the small hit game state by setting the special figure display result as a "small hit".

On the other hand, apart from these determinations, the CPU 103 executes the winning random number value determination processing in step 008SGS512 at the timing when the game ball is detected at the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening). As a result, it is determined whether or not it is determined that the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the special symbol display result, and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the predetermined display mode accompanied by super reach. I do. As a result, it is determined whether or not to make a big hit or a small hit before the variable display of the special symbol or the decorative symbol based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the start winning opening is started, that is, at the start of the variable display. It is determined whether the special figure display result is "big hit" or "small hit" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is the variable display mode of which category, and based on this judgment result. Then, as will be described later, the effect control CPU 120 or the like will execute the pre-reading advance notice effect such as the hold display advance notice effect.

In the winning random number value determination process shown in FIG. 8-16 (A), the CPU 103 first confirms the state of the time saving flag and the probability variation flag provided in, for example, the game control flag setting unit 008SG152, for pachinko gaming. The current gaming state in the machine 1 is specified (step 008SGS521). The CPU 103 identifies that it is in the probability change state (high probability high base state) when the probability change flag is on, and is in the time reduction state (low probability high base state) when the probability change flag is off and the time reduction flag is on. When both the probability change flag and the time saving flag are off, it is sufficient to specify that the normal state (low probability low base state).

Following the process of step 008SGS521, the CPU 103 specifies a set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (step 008SGS522). Next, the display result determination table according to the current gaming state, the start opening buffer value, and the set value is selected and set (step 008SGS524).

Specifically, when the start port buffer value is "1", the set value is 1, and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-7 (A). When the display result judgment table is set and the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the display result judgment table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-7 (B) is set and the set value is 2. When the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-7 (C) is set, the set value is 2, and the game state is the probable change state. If there is, set the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-7 (D), and if the set value is 3 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, FIG. 8-7 (E). ) Is set, and when the set value is 3 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the first special figure display result judgment table shown in FIG. 8-7 (F) is set. To set.

Further, when the start port buffer value is "1", the set value is 4, and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the first special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 8-8 (A) is determined. When the table is set and the set value is 4 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-8 (B) is set, and the set value is 5 and When the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-8 (C) is set, and when the set value is 5 and the game state is the probable change state. The display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-8 (D) is set, and when the set value is 6 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-8 (E). The display result determination table for the first special figure is set, and when the set value is 6 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the display result determination table for the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-8 (F) is set. ..

Further, when the start port buffer value is "2", the set value is 1, and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 8-9 (A) is determined. When the table is set and the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-9 (B) is set, and the set value is 2 and When the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-9 (C) is set, and when the set value is 2 and the game state is the probable change state. The display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-9 (D) is set, and when the set value is 3 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-9 (E). The display result determination table for the second special figure is set, and when the set value is 3 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-9 (F) is set. ..

Further, when the start port buffer value is "2", the set value is 4, and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 8-10 (A) is determined. When the table is set and the set value is 4 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-10 (B) is set, and the set value is 5 and When the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-10 (C) is set, and when the set value is 5 and the game state is the probable change state. The display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-10 (D) is set, and when the set value is 6 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-10 (E). The display result determination table for the second special figure is set, and when the set value is 6 and the gaming state is the probable change state, the display result determination table for the second special figure shown in FIG. 8-10 (F) is set. ..

After setting the display result determination table, the variable display result determination module (step 008SGS525) performs a process of determining whether the special figure display result is "big hit", "small hit", or "missing". In the variable display result judgment module, the numerical range of the big hit judgment value or the small hit judgment value in the set variable display result judgment table is compared with the value of the random number value MR1 for the special figure display result judgment, and the randomness is described. If the value of the numerical value MR1 is within the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, the variable display result is judged as a big hit, and if the value of the random value MR1 is within the numerical range of the small hit judgment value, the variable display result is judged as a small hit. Then, if the value of the random number value MR1 is out of the numerical range of the big hit determination value and out of the numerical range of the small hit determination value, the variable display result may be determined to be out of range.

Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is determined in step 008SGS525 that the variable display result is a big hit (step 008SGS526). When it is determined that the hit is not a big hit (step 008SGS526; N), it is determined whether or not the variable display result is determined to be a small hit in the step 008SGS525 (step 008SGS527). When it is determined that the small hit does not occur, that is, when it is determined that the variable display is out of order (step 008SGS527; N), the first symbol which is the symbol designation command corresponding to the variable display result being "out of place". The transmission setting of the designated command is executed (step 008SGS527a), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set, that is, whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state (step 008SGS528).

If the time saving flag is not set (step 008SGS528; N), the deviation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. 8-14 is selected and set, and the process proceeds to step 008SGS536 (step 008SGS529), and the time saving flag is set. If so (step 008SGS528; Y), the deviation pattern determination table D shown in FIG. 8-14 (D) is selected and set, and the process proceeds to step 008SGS536 (step 008SGS530).

When it is determined in step 008SGS526 that the variable display is a big hit (step 008SGS526; Y), the big hit type is determined based on the random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type and the big hit type determination table (step 008SGS533). At this time, the CPU 103 responds to the fluctuation special figure (“first special figure” corresponding to “1” or “second special figure” corresponding to “2”) specified corresponding to the start port buffer value. , Select the jackpot type determination table data from the table data that constitutes the jackpot type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected jackpot type determination table data, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

Further, a symbol designation command according to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second symbol designation command when the jackpot A is a jackpot B, a third symbol designation command when the jackpot B is a jackpot B, and a fourth symbol designation command when the jackpot C is a jackpot C. The transmission setting of the symbol designation command is executed (step 008SGS534), and then the jackpot variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-13 (A) is selected and set as a table for determining the jackpot variation pattern (step 008SGS534). Step 008SGS535) and step 008SGS536.

Further, when it is determined in step 008SGS527 that a small hit is obtained in the variable display (step 008SGS527; Y), the sixth symbol designation command, which is a symbol designation command corresponding to the variable display result being "small hit", is used. The transmission setting is executed (step 008SGS531), the variation pattern determination table for small hits shown in FIG. 8-13 (B) is selected and set (step 008SGS532), and the process proceeds to step 008SGS536.

In the feature unit 008SG, in the deviation pattern determination table A to the deviation pattern determination table D, determination values of 1 to 700 are commonly assigned to the non-reach variation pattern and the normal reach variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern of super reach is assigned to 701 to 997.

Therefore, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the variation pattern is determined using the deviation pattern determination table A or the deviation pattern determination table D, and the determination of non-reach and super reach is made. Even if the number of reserved storages changes later, the fluctuation pattern will always be non-reach or super reach. Therefore, in the determination at the time of starting winning, the variation pattern using the deviation pattern determination table A or the deviation pattern determination table D is used. Is designed to be determined.

After executing any of the processes of step 008SGS529, step 008SGS530, and step 008SGS532, and step 008SGS535, each fluctuation pattern determination table set in each of these steps and numerical data indicating a random number value MR3 for fluctuation pattern determination are input. It is used to determine the variation category according to the range of determination values including the random number value MR3 (step 008SGS536). In this feature unit 008SG, as shown in FIG. 8-16 (B), when at least the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode is "non-reach" in common regardless of the total number of reserved storages. Variable category, variable category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", variable category that is a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach and small hit), and "other" variable category. It suffices if it is possible to determine whether or not such a variation category is determined based on the random number value MR3.

After that, the setting for transmitting the variable category designation command according to the determination result by the process of step 008SGS536 to the effect control board 12 is made (step 008SGS537), and then the random number value determination process at the time of winning is terminated.

The symbol designation command and the variation category designation command are transmitted by the CPU 103 executing the command control process.

Next, the processing executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-17 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (S171) shown in FIG. 7.

In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS271). When the first variable display start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS271; Y), the buffer numbers “1-0” to “1-4” of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning reception command buffer are set. The various command data and various flags stored in association with each other are shifted higher by one buffer number (step 008SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is not set in step 008SGS271 (step 008SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS273). If the second variable display start command reception flag is not set (step 008SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and if the second variable display 2 start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS273). Y), various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer are buffered with the buffer number 1. It shifts to the upper side by the number (step 008SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

After executing step 008SGS272 or step 008SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 008SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result specification command storage area (that is, the received display result specification command) and the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern specification command (step). 008SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol according to the display result specified by the display result designation command, and stores the data indicating the stopped symbol of the determined decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. do.

When the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment and the received display result specification command is the second variable display result specification command corresponding to the jackpot A, for example, a decorative symbol in which three symbols are even-numbered as stop symbols Determine the combination (big hit symbol). Further, when the received display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the jackpot B, for example, as a stop symbol, three symbols are odd-numbered decorative symbols other than "7" and "3". Determine the combination (big hit symbol). When the received display result specification command is the fourth variable display result specification command corresponding to the jackpot C, for example, a combination of decorative symbols in which three symbols are aligned with "7" or "3" as stop symbols (big hit). Design) is decided. When the received display result specification command is the fifth variable table uncle result specification command indicating a small hit, for example, three consecutive numbers such as "123" and "246", and three consecutive even numbers (or three consecutive even numbers). Determine the combination of decorative symbols (small hit symbol) such as (odd number). Then, when the received display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command indicating a loss, if the variation pattern specification command indicates a reach variation pattern, a combination of decorative symbols to be reached (reach loss symbol). If the variation pattern specification command indicates a non-reach variation pattern, a combination of decorative symbols (non-reach off symbol) that is non-reach excluding the above-mentioned small hit symbol is determined.

In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining the stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating a combination of decorative symbols and a numerical value are associated with each other. Then, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating a combination of decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value corresponding to the extracted random number.

After executing step 008SGS276, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern (step 008SGS277). Whether or not the variable display variation pattern is a super reach variation pattern may be specified from the variation pattern specification command read in 008SGS275. When the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of the super reach (step 008SGS277; Y), it is for determining whether or not to execute the cut-in effect described later during the reach effect and the effect pattern of the cut-in effect. The cut-in effect determination process (step 008SGS278) is executed to proceed to step 008SGS279. If the variable display variation pattern is not a super reach variation pattern (step 008SGS277; N), the process proceeds to step 008SGS279 without executing the process of step 008SGS278.

Then, in step 008SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 executes a advance notice effect determination process for determining whether or not to execute the advance notice effect described later in the variable display and the effect pattern of the advance notice effect (step 008SGS279). As shown in FIGS. 8-27 to 8-29, the advance notice effect is an effect that can be executed during the variable display in the non-reach variable pattern, and the variable display starts in the normal reach or super reach variable pattern. It is a production that can be performed during the period from the beginning to the timing of reaching.

After executing step 008SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command (step 008SGS280). Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 008SGS281).

In the process table, display control execution data for controlling the display of the image display device 5, lamp control execution data for controlling the lighting of each LED, and sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R are controlled. The sound control execution data, the operation unit control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, etc. are sequentially arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). There is.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs an effect device (image display as an effect component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Control of the device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L, 8R as production parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (step 008SGS282). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control lighting / extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

In the feature unit 008SG in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern designation command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed by the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one, but the effect control CPU 120. May select a variation pattern to be used from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the variation pattern specification command.

Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time (variable display time) specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (step 008SGS283). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (step 008SGS284). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and each time the predetermined time elapses, the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right to the VRAM, and the display control unit 123 writes the image data to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, whereby variable display of the decorative pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect processing during variable display (S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 008SGS285).

In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 is determined at a rate of 50%, and pattern CI-3 is determined at a rate of 10%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

When the jackpot type is jackpot C (step 008SGS341; N), the presence / absence of execution of the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the setting value of 6 and the jackpot type being jackpot C. (Step 008SGS343), the processes of steps 008SGS308 to 008SGS310 are executed. In step 008SGS343, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (E), the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on the setting value of 6 and the jackpot type of jackpot C. .. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 at a rate of 45%, and pattern CI-3 at a rate of 10%. The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

If the variable display result is out of alignment in step 008SGS339 (step 008SGS339; N), it is further determined whether or not the gaming state is a high-accuracy high-base state (step 008SGS344). The game state may be specified from the game state designation command received from the CPU 103.

When the gaming state is the high accuracy high base state (step 008SGS344; Y), it is based on the fact that the set value is 6, the variable display result is out of order, and the gaming state is the high accuracy high base state. Whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined (step 008SGS345), and the processes of steps 008SGS308 to 008SGS310 are executed. In step 008SGS345, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (E), based on the fact that the set value is 6, the variable display result is out of order, and the gaming state is the high accuracy and high base state. The non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 30%. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 is determined at a rate of 10%, and pattern CI-3 is determined at a rate of 30%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

Further, when the gaming state is the low accuracy high base state or the low accuracy low base state (step 008SGS344; N), the set value is 6, the variable display result is out of alignment, and the gaming state is low accuracy high. Whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the base state or the low probability low base state (step 008SGS346), and the processes of steps 008SGS308 to 008SGS310 are executed. In step 008SGS346, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (E), the set value is 6, the variable display result is out of alignment, and the gaming state is in the low probability high base state or the low probability low base state. Based on the existence, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 57%. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 is determined at a rate of 10%, and pattern CI-3 is determined at a rate of 3%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

Further, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ (PS2-5 or PB1-6) in step 008SGS302 (202SGS302; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step). 008SGS351). Whether or not the variable display result is a big hit may be determined by determining whether or not the fluctuation pattern is PB1-4, which is a super reach γ big hit.

When the variable display result is a big hit (step 008SGS351; Y), the big hit type is specified (step 008SGS352), and it is determined whether or not the big hit type is a big hit A or a big hit B (step 008SGS353).

When the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B (step 008SGS353; Y), the presence / absence of execution of the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the jackpot type being jackpot A or jackpot B (step 008SGS354). , Step 008SGS308 to step 008SGS310 are executed. In step 008SGS354, as shown in FIG. 8-22, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on the jackpot type being jackpot A or jackpot B. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 is determined at a rate of 50%, and pattern CI-3 is determined at a rate of 10%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

When the jackpot type is jackpot C (step 008SGS353; N), whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the jackpot type being jackpot C (step 008SGS355), and steps 008SGS308 to Step 008 The process of SGS310 is executed. In step 008SGS355, as shown in FIG. 8-22, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on the jackpot type being jackpot C. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 at a rate of 45%, and pattern CI-3 at a rate of 10%. The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

When the variable display result is out of alignment in step 008SGS351 (step 008SGS351; N), the presence / absence of execution of the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the fact that the variable display result is out of alignment (step 008SGS356). The processing of step 008SGS308 to step 008SGS310 is executed. In step 008SGS356, as shown in FIG. 8-22, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 35% based on the fact that the variable display result is out of order. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 is determined at a rate of 10%, and pattern CI-3 is determined at a rate of 25%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

As described above, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ or the super reach δ, the cut-in is performed. When the variable display result is the lowest (big hit expectation) when the effect is not executed and the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-1, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-2. In this case, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit increases in the order of the case where the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-4. (Expectation of big hit in cut-in effect: non-execution <pattern CI-1 <pattern CI-2 <pattern CI-3 <pattern CI-4).

In particular, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-4, it is determined that the variable display result is a big hit and the big hit type is the big hit C regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21, 8-22 and 8-24, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ or the super reach δ, the cut-in effect is performed by the pattern CI-3. The rate of execution is set to the lowest (0%) when the set value is any of 1 to 3 and the fluctuation pattern is out of super reach γ and out of super reach δ. Then, when the fluctuation pattern is a super reach γ jackpot that executes the resurrection effect, the fluctuation pattern does not execute the resurrection effect when the set value is any of 1 to 3--the set value when the per reach γ jackpot / super reach δ jackpot. Is 4 and the fluctuation pattern is a super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, and if the setting value is 5 and the fluctuation pattern is a super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, the setting value is 6 and the fluctuation pattern. Is set so that the ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 increases in the order of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect.

Further, paying attention when the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern (PA2-4 and PB1-4) of the super reach γ that does not execute the revival effect, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1 to 3, While it is confirmed that the variable display result is a big hit (any of big hit A to big hit C) when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 When is 4 to 6, the variable display result may be out of order even when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3. That is, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the cut-in is higher than when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3. The jackpot expectation when the effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 is set low. Therefore, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, when the reach effect of the super reach γ is executed, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of order, the pachinko gaming machine 1 It is confirmed that the set value set in is any of 4 to 6.

On the other hand, paying attention to the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot (PB1-5) that executes the resurrection effect, the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-3 rather than the fluctuation pattern (PB1-4) of the super reach γ jackpot that executes the resurrection effect. And the rate of execution in pattern CI-4 is set low. For this reason, in the case where the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, the cut-in effect is executed by CI-3 and the loss is notified, so that the pachinko gaming machine Even though the player recognizes that the set value set to 1 is one of 4 to 6, the revival effect is executed later and the pachinko is notified that it is a big hit. It is suppressed that the player is discouraged because it is uncertain whether or not the set value set in the gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6.

Further, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach γ (PA2-4 and PB1-4) that does not execute the revival effect. Attention should be paid to the case where the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 is set to be the same for all the set values, but the variable display result is out of order. As for, the higher the set value, the higher the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 (the pattern CI-3 execution rate at the time of deviation when the set values 4 to 6 are set: the set value 4 < Set value 5 <Set value 6).

Therefore, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3, and the variable display result is out of order. Since the frequency of the game becomes higher, the player can be expected that the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the game interest can be improved. There is.

Further, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 and the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of super reach γ (PA2-4 and PB1-4) that does not execute the revival effect. If the set values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are the same and the variable display result is different, the gaming state is low accuracy and high base state or low accuracy in the place where the gaming state is high accuracy and high base state. The cut-in effect is set to be executed in the pattern CI-3 at a higher rate than in the low base state.

Therefore, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 in the variable display in the high accuracy and high base state, and the variable display result is out of order, so that the gaming state is low accuracy. Even after shifting to the low base state, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set to any of 4 to 6 to encourage the player to continue the game, so that the gaming interest can be improved. ing.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 (B) to 8-21 (E), paying attention to the case where the variable display result is out of alignment, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more the cut-in. The execution rate of the production is set high. That is, in the present feature unit 008SG, it is suggested that the ratio itself at which the cut-in effect is executed when the variable display result is out of alignment is set to any of 4 to 6 in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, in addition to whether or not the cut-in effect is executed in the effect pattern with high expectation of a big hit, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the cut-in effect is executed. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, the determination ratio of the effect pattern of the cut-in effect shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22 is only an example, and the determination ratio of the effect pattern of the cut-in effect is determined according to the gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. It may be different from the feature portion 008SG as appropriate. However, when the determination ratios of the effect patterns of these cut-in effects are appropriately different, the tendency of the jackpot expectation of each effect pattern (big hit expectation in the cut-in effect: non-execution <pattern CI-1 <pattern CI-2). By maintaining <Pattern CI-3 <Pattern CI-4) itself, the player does not misunderstand the jackpot expectation according to the effect pattern of the cut-in effect when executing the cut-in effect. Is desirable.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22, when the variable display is executed by the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ and the super reach δ, the pachinko gaming machine 1 Although the embodiment in which the ratio of executing the cut-in effect during the variable display is different depending on the set value and the variable display result set in the above is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. When the variable display is executed by the fluctuation pattern of the reach γ or the super reach δ, the cut-in effect may be always executed during the variable display. In addition, in the case where the cut-in effect is always executed during the variable display of the super reach γ and the super reach δ, if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, When the variable display result is out of order, the ratio assigned to non-execution of the cut-in effect (see FIGS. 8-21 (C) to 8-21 (E)) is the pattern CI-1 with a low jackpot expectation. By assigning to both the pattern CI-1 and the pattern CI-2, the ratio of the cut-in effect executed in the pattern CI-3 may be maintained so as not to be different from the feature unit 008SG. By doing so, the cut-in effect is excessively executed in the pattern CI-3 while improving the interest by executing the cut-in effect during the variable display of the super reach γ and the super reach δ. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from easily recognizing that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6.

FIG. 8-25 is a flowchart showing the advance notice effect determination process in FIG. 8-17. In the advance notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (step 008SGS361). Then, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a small hit (step 008SGS362). When the variable display result is a small hit (step 008SGS362; Y), the advance notice effect determination process is terminated, and when the variable display result is a big hit or a miss (step 008SGS362; N), the execution of the cut-in effect is further determined. It is determined whether or not the effect is performed, that is, whether or not any of the effect patterns of the cut-in effect is stored (step 008SGS363).

When the execution of the cut-in effect is determined (step 008SGS363; Y), it is further determined whether or not the stored cut-in effect effect pattern is pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 (step 008SGS363; Y). Step 008 SGS364). When the stored cut-in effect effect pattern is pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 (step 008SGS364; Y), the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4. Then, the presence / absence of execution of the advance notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified variable display result and variation pattern (step 008SGS365).

On the other hand, when it is determined not to execute the cut-in effect (step 008SGS363; N) or when the stored effect pattern is the pattern CI-1 or CI-2 (step 008SGS364; N), the variable display is performed. It is determined whether or not the result is a big hit (step 008SGS366). When the variable display result is a big hit (step 008SGS366; Y), the big hit type is specified (step 008SGS367), and whether or not the advance notice effect is executed and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified big hit type (step 008SGS368). ..

When the variable display result is out of alignment (step 008SGS366; N), the presence / absence of execution of the advance notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified variable display result and the variation pattern (step 008SGS369).

Specifically, in the process of step 008SGS365, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 15%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 55%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the fluctuation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 20%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

Further, when the variable display result is out of order and the fluctuation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 15%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 5%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out of reach and the fluctuation pattern is non-reach (non-reach out of reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 5%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 0%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

As described above, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, the case where the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of order is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. This is the case where the set value is any of 4 to 6 and the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation (PA2-4).

As shown in FIGS. 8-26 (C) and 8-37, the pattern YE-1 is an effect pattern for displaying the image 008SG005s of the character A together with the blue effect on the image display device 5, and the pattern YE-2 is an effect pattern. The image display device 5 displays the image 008SG005t of the character B together with the red effect, and the pattern YE-3 is an effect pattern for displaying the image 008SG005u of the character C together with the golden effect on the image display device 5. The pattern YE-4 is an effect pattern for displaying the collective image 008SG005v of the characters A to C together with the rainbow-colored effect on the image display device 5.

Further, in the process of step 008SGS368, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (B), when the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B, the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 45%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 15%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. If the jackpot type is jackpot C, the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. In addition, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 40%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 15%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

Further, in the process of step 008SGS369, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (B), when the variable display result is out of order and the fluctuation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), 50% of the non-execution of the advance notice effect is performed. Determined by the ratio of. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 15%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 5%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out of order and the fluctuation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 15%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 5%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out of reach and the fluctuation pattern is non-reach (non-reach out of reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 5%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 0%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

As described above, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, the ratio (big hit expectation degree) at which the variable display result becomes the big hit is set to be the lowest when the notice effect is not executed during the variable display, and the notice effect is a pattern. Variable display in the order of execution in YE-1, the advance notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-2, the advance notice effect is executed in YE-3, and the advance notice effect is executed in YE-4. The rate at which the result is a big hit is set to be high (expectation of big hit of notice effect: notice effect non-execution <execution in pattern YE-1 <execution in pattern YE-2 <execution in pattern YE-3 <pattern Executed with YE-4).

In particular, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (B), when the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined or the cut-in effect is lower than the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, the pattern CI- When the execution in 1 or the pattern CI-2 is decided, the advance notice effect may be executed in the pattern YE-4 only when the jackpot type is the jackpot C. Therefore, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, in addition to whether or not the advance notice effect is executed by the pattern YE-3, whether or not the advance notice effect is executed by the pattern YE-4 is also a game. It is possible to draw people's attention.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A), as the effect pattern of the cut-in effect, the pattern CI-3, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than the pattern CI-1 and the pattern CI-2, or the variable display result is a big hit. When the pattern CI-4 that confirms that the jackpot type is jackpot C is determined, YE-3 or YE-4 is used as the effect pattern of the advance notice effect regardless of the variable display result or the fluctuation pattern. It is set so that it will not be executed. Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the cut-in effect can be executed only by the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2, so that the variable display result becomes a big hit, which is the start of the cut-in effect. It is prevented that the player recognizes the timing before the timing (the start timing of the advance notice effect). Furthermore, when the variable display result is out of alignment, neither the advance notice effect nor the cut-in effect is executed in an effect pattern with a high expectation of a big hit, so that the player is excessively opposed to the variable display result being a big hit. It is prevented from expecting.

After executing any of the processes of step 008SGS365, step 008SGS368, and step 008SGS369, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the advance notice effect is determined (step 008SGS370). When the execution of the advance notice effect is determined (step 008SGS370; Y), the effect pattern determined by any of the processes of step 008SGS365, step 008SGS368, and step 008SGS369 is stored (step 008SGS371), and the timer for waiting for the advance notice effect is started. Is set to end the advance notice effect determination process (step 008SGS372). When it is determined not to execute the advance notice effect (step 008SGS370; N), the advance notice effect determination process is terminated without executing the processes of step 008SGS371 and step 008SGS372.

When the execution of the advance notice effect is determined in the advance notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the advance notice effect start waiting timer by -1 each time the variable display effect process (S172) is executed, and the advance notice is made. When the effect waiting timer is out, the process table for advance notice effect according to the determined effect pattern is set. After that, each time the effect control CPU 120 executes the effect processing during variable display, the effect device (image display device 5, speaker 8L, 8R, game effect lamp 9) is in accordance with the contents of the data (process data) in the advance notice effect process table. Etc.), and the advance notice effect may be executed.

As described above, by making it possible to determine the execution of the cut-in effect and the advance notice effect in the variable display start setting process, as shown in FIGS. 8-27 to 8-29, in the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern, , The notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1 during the variable display, and in the fluctuation pattern out of the normal reach, the notice effect is performed in the period before the reach during the variable display in the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2. In the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α off and the super reach β off, the notice effect can be executed by the pattern YE-1 to the pattern YE-3 in the period before the reach during the variable display. ing. In addition, in the fluctuation pattern of normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β, the cut-in effect cannot be executed in the period after reach.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-30 and 8-33, in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation and the super reach δ deviation, the advance notice effect is executed in the patterns YE-1 to the pattern YE-3 in the period before the reach. It is possible, and the cut-in effect can be executed by the pattern CI-1 to the pattern CI-3 in the period after the reach. However, when the cut-in effect is determined to be executed by the pattern CI-3, the advance notice effect can be executed only by the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-29 (A) and 8-29 (B), in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, In the period before reach, the notice effect can be executed in patterns YE-1 to YE-4, and in the period after reach, the cut-in effect can be executed in patterns CI-1 to CI-4. .. However, when the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, the advance notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2.

In the normal reach fluctuation pattern (PA2-1B, PB1-1B) for executing the meter effect, as shown in FIG. 8-27 (C), the meter effect is performed between the notice effect execution period and the reach timing. Will be executed. In the meter effect, an increase update is performed from 0% to 100% of the meter 008SG005m according to a long press operation of the push button 31B of the player. In the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 20% in response to the player's long press operation of the push button 31B, so that it is notified that the normal reach reach effect is executed after the meter effect. .. Then, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 20%, or when the execution period of the meter effect has elapsed, the normal reach reach effect is executed after the meter effect is completed.

Further, in the fluctuation pattern (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) of the super reach α in which the special figure fluctuation time is 48,000 ms and the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (A), a notice is given. After the effect enable period, the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect are executed. Specifically, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33% in response to the player's long press operation of the push button 31B in the meter effect, or when the period M (meter effect execution period M) elapses from the start of the meter effect. , The meter effect is interrupted and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern.

After the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is completed, the meter effect interrupted by the execution of the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is resumed. In the restarted meter production, the meter 008SG005m is increased and updated by the player pressing and holding the push button 31B again. In the restarted meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 50% in response to the player's long press operation of the push button 31B, thereby notifying that the pseudo continuous effect is executed after the meter effect. Will be done. Then, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 50%, or when the execution period of the restarted meter effect has elapsed, after the meter effect is completed, the decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and re-variablely displayed as a pseudo continuous effect. It is executed, and the reach effect of Super Reach α is further executed.

Further, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) in which the special figure fluctuation time is 53000 ms and the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once, and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed twice. (PA2-3, PB1-3) and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ (PA2-4, PB1-4, PB1-5) in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed three times are shown in FIGS. 8-28 (B) and FIGS. As shown in 8-29 to 8-32, the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect are executed after the advance notice effect enablement period. Specifically, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33% in response to the player's long press operation of the push button 31B in the meter effect, or when the period M (meter effect execution period M) elapses from the start of the meter effect. , The meter effect is interrupted and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern. When the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern, the meter effect is not restarted after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, and the pseudo-continuous performance effect and the super are the number of times according to the fluctuation pattern. Reach production (one pseudo-continuous production and super reach α reach production if the fluctuation pattern of super reach α, two pseudo-continuous production and super reach β reach production if the fluctuation pattern of super reach β , If it is a fluctuation pattern of super reach γ, it is a pseudo-continuous production three times and a reach production of super reach γ).

Further, in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ, as shown in FIGS. 8-33 and 8-34, the meter effect is executed after the notice effect enableable period. Specifically, in the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 100% in response to the player's long press operation of the push button 31B, so that the reach effect of the super reach δ is executed after the meter effect. Be notified. Then, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 100%, or when the execution period of the meter effect has elapsed, the reach effect of the super reach δ is executed after the meter effect is completed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-35 (A) and 8-36 (B), the fluctuation pattern of the normal reach (PA2-1B, PB1-1B) and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ (PA2-) for executing the meter effect. 5. In PB1-6), the meter effect is executed over the period L without interruption due to the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. Further, within the period L during which the meter effect is being executed, the player's long press operation of the push button 31B is accepted for the period A without interruption due to the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (B), in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) in which the special figure fluctuation time is 48,000 ms, the meter effect is executed over the period M. It is interrupted after being done. Within the period M during which the meter effect is being executed, the player's long press operation of the push button 31B is accepted over the period B. Further, the meter effect resumed after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed over the period N. Within the period N during which the meter effect is being executed, which is resumed after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect, the player's long press operation of the push button 31B is accepted over the period C.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 (A) and 8-35 (B), the period L of the meter effect when not interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. It is the same as the sum of the period of the meter effect (period M + period N) in the case. Further, the long press operation acceptance period A of the push button 31B during the meter effect when not interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is the long press of the push button 31B in the meter effect when interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. It is the same as the sum of the operation acceptance periods (period B + period C).

As shown in FIG. 8-36 (A), the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β (PA2-3, PB1) having a special figure fluctuation time of 53000 ms. -3) In the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ (PA2-4, PB1-4, PB1-5), the meter effect is interrupted after being executed over the period M. Within the period M during which the meter effect is being executed, the player's long press operation of the push button 31B is accepted over the period B. After the meter effect is interrupted, the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern. Therefore, in this case, the meter effect is not restarted after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect ends.

Next, the display mode of the image display device 5 at the time of executing the variable display in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-37 to 8-43. First, as shown in FIGS. 8-37 (A) to 8-37 (E), when the execution of the advance notice effect is determined at the start of the variable display, the advance notice effect is pattern YE- on the image display device 5. It is executed by any one of 1 to pattern YE-4. Specifically, when the advance notice effect is executed by the pattern YE-1, the image 008SG005s of the character A is displayed together with the blue effect on the image display device 5, and the advance notice effect is executed by the pattern YE-2. When the image 008SG005t of the character B is displayed with the red effect on the image display device 5 and the advance notice effect is executed by the pattern YE-3, the image 008SG005u of the character C is displayed with the golden effect on the image display device 5. When the advance notice effect is executed by the pattern YE-4, the collective image 008SG005v of the characters A to C is displayed together with the rainbow-colored effect on the image display device 5.

At this time, the player expects a big hit depending on which character's image 008SG005s, 008SG005t, 008SG005u, 008SG005v the image displayed on the image display device 5 is, and the color of the effect displayed together with the image of these characters. It is possible to recognize the degree.

As described above, when the cut-in effect is determined to be executed by the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4 at the start of the variable display, the advance notice effect is executed only by the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2. It is possible.

When the fluctuation pattern is a normal reach fluctuation pattern (PA2-1B, PB1-1B) in which the special figure fluctuation time is 25,000 ms, FIGS. 8-38 (A) to FIGS. 88 after the advance of the advance notice effect execution period. As shown in −38 (C), in the entire display area of the image display device 5, as an image of the meter effect, an image including a long press promotion image 008SG005n that urges the player to press and hold the push button 31B is displayed. Is displayed. In the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 20% by the player pressing and holding the push button 31B. Then, after the end of the meter effect, the reach effect of the normal reach is executed.

If the variation pattern is a variation pattern (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) of the super reach α in which the special figure variation time is 48,000 ms and the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once, after the advance notice effect execution period elapses, As shown in FIGS. 8-39 (A) to 8-39 (C), as a meter effect, a long press promotion image 008SG005n that urges the player to press and hold the push button 31B on the image display device 5 The meter 008SG005m is displayed.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-39 (D) to 8-39 (F), the meter 008SG005m has been updated to 33%, or the period during which the meter effect is interrupted has elapsed since the start of the meter effect. Based on this, the meter effect is interrupted and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is started. At this time, in the entire display area of the image display device 5, an image including a continuous hit promotion image 008SG005r that urges the player to repeatedly hit the push button 31B is displayed as an image of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. At the same time, in the lower left of the image display device 5, a reduced image 008SG005h (an image immediately before the meter effect is interrupted) showing the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 immediately before the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is started is displayed. , It is displayed in a display area smaller than that when the meter effect is executed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-39 (D) to 8-39 (F), in the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is displayed in the center of the image display device 5 in response to the repeated hits of the push button 31B by the player. Attacks on the enemy character 008SG005e are executed multiple times. Then, after the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B ends, the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed because the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, and the enemy character 008SG005e is not defeated. Is notified that is a failure.

After the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is completed, the image of the meter effect is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, and the meter effect is restarted. The aspect of the meter 008SG005m at the time of resuming the meter effect is inherited from the aspect of the meter 008SG005m at the time when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is interrupted. That is, as shown in FIGS. 8-39 (C) and 8-39 (G), if the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33%, the interrupt is performed. With the end of the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the meter effect is restarted with the meter 008SG005m updated to 33%.

After that, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 50% by a long press operation of the push button 31B by the player. Then, after the end of the meter effect, the temporary stop and the revariable display of the decorative symbol are executed once, respectively, as a pseudo continuous effect.

Further, when the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern of the super reach α (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) in which the special figure fluctuation time is 53000 ms and the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β (PA2-). 3. If it is any of the fluctuation patterns of PB1-3) and super reach γ (PA2-4, PB1-4), after the advance notice effect execution period has elapsed, FIGS. 8-40 (A) to 8-40. As shown in (C), as a meter effect, a long press promotion image 008SG005n and a meter 008SG005m are displayed in the image display device 5 to urge the player to press and hold the push button 31B.

In the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 33% by the player pressing and holding the push button 31B. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-40 (D) to 8-40 (F), the meter 008SG005m has been updated to 33%, or the period during which the meter effect is interrupted has elapsed since the start of the meter effect. Based on this, the meter effect is interrupted, and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is started. At this time, in the entire display area of the image display device 5, an image including a continuous hit promotion image 008SG005r that urges the player to repeatedly hit the push button 31B is displayed as an image of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. At the same time, in the lower left of the image display device 5, the reduced image 008SG005h (the image immediately before the meter effect is interrupted) showing the display mode on the image display device 5 immediately before the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is started is the meter effect. Is displayed in a smaller display area than when.

As shown in FIGS. 8-40 (D) to 8-39 (F), in the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is displayed in the center of the image display device 5 in response to the repeated hits of the push button 31B by the player. Attacks on the enemy character 008SG005e are executed multiple times. Then, after the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B is completed, the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern, and the enemy character 008SG005e is defeated, so that the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is generated. You will be informed of your success.

After the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is completed, the temporary stop and re-variable display of the decorative symbol are executed a number of times according to each variation pattern as the pseudo-ream effect.

When the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of super reach δ (PA2-5, PB1-6), it is shown in FIGS. 8-41 (A) to 8-41 (C) after the advance notice effect execution period has elapsed. As shown, in the entire display area of the image display device 5, an image including a long press promotion image 008SG005n that urges the player to press and hold the push button 31B is displayed as an image of the meter effect. In the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 100% by the player pressing and holding the push button 31B. Then, after the meter effect is completed, the reach effect of the super reach δ is executed.

When the variable display is a variable display of the super reach γ, the decorative pattern is displayed in a combination of reach as shown in FIGS. 8-42 (A) to 8-42 (C), and then the super reach γ is displayed. Reach production (in this feature unit 008SG, a battle production in which a ally character and an enemy character fight) is executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-42 (D), when the cut-in effect execution start timing during the reach effect of the super reach γ is reached, the image display device 5 starts displaying the image of the push button 31B, and the player A promotion notification is performed to urge the user to operate the push button 31B. At this time, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B, or the player operates the push button 31B without operating the push button 31B during the operation acceptance period of the push button 31B. When the reception period elapses, the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 together with the cut-in image corresponding to the effect pattern of the cut-in effect.

Specifically, when the effect pattern of the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-1, the cut-in image 008SG005w is displayed together with the blue effect on the image display device 5, and the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-2. In this case, the cut-in image 008SG005x is displayed with the red effect on the image display device 5, and the cut-in image 008SG005y is displayed with the golden effect on the image display device 5 when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3. When the advance notice effect is executed by the pattern YE-4, the cut-in image 008SG005z is displayed together with the rainbow-colored effect on the image display device 5.

At this time, the player decides which of the cut-in images 008SG005w, 008SG005x, 008SG005y, and 008SG005z the cut-in image displayed on the image display device 5 is, and the color of the effect displayed together with these cut-in images. It is possible to recognize the degree of expectation of a big hit.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A) and 8-43 (B), when the variation pattern of the variable display is PS2-4 (variation pattern of the deviation of the super reach γ), the variation pattern of the super reach γ As a reach effect result (battle effect result), when the ally character loses to the enemy character, it is notified that the variable display result is out of order, and the variable display ends. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A) and 8-43 (C), when the variation pattern of the variable display is PB1-4 (variation pattern of super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect). , As the reach effect result (battle effect result) of the super reach γ, when the ally character wins over the enemy character, it is notified that the variable display result is a big hit, and the variable display ends.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A) and 8-43 (D) to 8-43 (F), the variation pattern of the variable display is PB1-5 (super reach γ hit that executes the revival effect). In the case of (variation pattern), it is notified that the variable display result is once out of order due to the defeat of the ally character by the enemy character as the reach effect result (battle effect result) of the super reach γ. Then, when the revival effect is executed, it is notified again that the variable display result is a big hit by reversing and winning the ally character against the enemy character as the reach effect result (battle effect result) of the super reach γ. The variable display ends.

Although not shown in particular, when the variable display is a variable display of super reach δ, after the decorative pattern is displayed in a combination of reach, the ally character and the enemy character are displayed in the same manner as the reach effect of super reach γ. The battle production that fights is executed. The battle production as the reach production of the super reach δ may be the same production as the battle production as the reach production of the super reach γ, but the characters to be played against each other and the development of the battle are partially different. You may.

As described above, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-21, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3, the cut-in effect is the pattern CI. While it is confirmed that the variable display result will be a big hit by executing in -3, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the cut-in effect is produced. There is a case where the variable display result is out of order when executed by the pattern CI-3. That is, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of order, it is confirmed that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. , When the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the player can pay attention to whether the variable display result is a big hit or a miss, and it is possible to improve the game interest. There is.

In addition, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-21, after notifying that the variable display result is out of order as a variable pattern in which the cut-in effect can be executed during the reach effect. Super reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern (super reach γ jackpot fluctuation pattern that executes resurrection effect, PB1-5) and super reach that does not execute resurrection effect A fluctuation pattern of γ jackpot (PB1-4) is provided, and when variable display is executed with the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ jackpot that executes the resurrection effect, the fluctuation of super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the resurrection effect. The ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 is set lower than that in the case of executing the variable display in the pattern. Therefore, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display is notified that the variable display is out of order during the reach effect of the super reach γ, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 by the player. Even if it recognizes that is any of 4 to 6, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4 to 6 by notifying that the revival effect is executed and the variable display is a big hit. It is possible to reduce the deterioration of the game entertainment due to the mistake of recognizing that it is one of the above.

In the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, the disadvantage setting values are set to 1 to 3 and the advantageous setting values are set to 4 to 6 as the setting values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the setting values are set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The determination ratio of the effect pattern of the cut-in effect or the advance notice effect is different depending on whether the set value is the disadvantageous set value or the advantageous set value, but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the disadvantage setting value includes 1 and the advantage setting value includes 6, they may be set in any range in which the values do not overlap with each other. Specifically, the disadvantage setting value may be 1 to 5 and the advantage setting value may be only 6, or the disadvantage setting value may be only 1 and the advantage setting value may be 2 to 6.

Further, in the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment, an embodiment in which the suggestion effect in the present invention is described as a reach effect is exemplified, but the invention is not limited to this, and the suggestion effect in the present invention is being variably displayed. As long as it is an effect that can be executed, for example, an effect other than the reach effect may be used, such as a pseudo-continuous effect in which a temporary stop of a decorative pattern and a revariable display are repeatedly executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 (C) to 8-21 (E), the fluctuation of the super reach γ deviation when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. When the variable display is executed in the pattern, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 is the highest, and the pachinko gaming is performed. When the set value set in the machine 1 is 4, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 is set to be the lowest. Therefore, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the higher the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of order, and the higher the setting value is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since the player can be expected to be set, the game entertainment can be improved.

In the feature unit 008SG of the embodiment, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation. Illustrates a mode in which the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the higher the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3. The pachinko game is not limited, and when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation, the pachinko game Regardless of the set value set in the machine 1, the ratio at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 may be the same ratio. By doing so, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 in the variable display of the super reach γ deviation, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. It can be difficult to identify the player.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6, which reach effect is to be executed and whether to execute the revival effect is determined in advance in association with each variation pattern, and is also determined in FIG. 8-13. As shown in (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the CPU 103 determines the fluctuation pattern using the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table of 1 regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of executing the revival effect during the variable display is the same regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For this reason, the execution rate of the resurrection effect during the variable display follows the set value that determines the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit, so the player should pay attention to whether or not the resurrection effect is executed during the variable display. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

It should be noted that, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, whether or not to execute the reach effect and whether or not to execute the revival effect is illustrated by exemplifying a form in which a predetermined form is determined in association with each variation pattern. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not to execute the reach effect and whether or not to execute the revival effect is variable by the effect control CPU 120 after the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern. It may be appropriately determined from the display result and the like.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-6 and 8-22, as the variation pattern in the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment, the variation pattern for executing the reach effect of the super reach δ (PA2-5 and PB1-6). When the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach δ, the variable display result is always a big hit, so that the variation of the super reach effect increases and the super Since the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the reach δ and the player can pay attention to whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit, the game entertainment can be improved.

In addition, in the feature part 008SG of this embodiment, the embodiment in which the variation pattern (PA2-5 and PB1-6) for executing the reach effect of the super reach δ is provided is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, it is possible not to provide a variation pattern for executing the reach effect of the super reach δ.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as the effects that can be executed during the variable display, a notice effect that can be executed during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach (or until the end timing of the variable display) and the reach. There is a cut-in effect that can be executed during the effect. Further, the advance notice effect can be executed by any of a plurality of effect patterns (patterns YE-1 to pattern YE-4) having different jackpot expectations. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-26, when the variable display result is a big hit and the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, which is an effect pattern with a high expectation of a big hit. Determines the effect pattern from the effect patterns (pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2) excluding the pattern YE-3 and the pattern YE-4, which have high expectation of big hit, when the advance notice effect is executed. It is possible to prevent the player from recognizing in advance that the variable display result will be a big hit by executing it in YE-3 or YE-4. Therefore, if it is decided to execute the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-4, whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit by executing the advance notice effect in the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2. It is possible to pay attention until the variable display is completed, and it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-30 to 8-34, during the variable display of 1, the advance notice effect is set before the cut-in effect (from the start of the variable display). By enabling execution during the period until reach), if the variable display result becomes a big hit, the player recognizes that the variable display result becomes a big hit from the timing before the cut-in effect is executed. This can be prevented and the deterioration of the game entertainment can be prevented.

It should be noted that the feature portion 008SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the advance notice effect can be executed at the timing before the cut-in effect during the variable display of 1, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the advance notice effect may be executed as a look-ahead effect during the variable display executed before the variable display in which the cut-in effect is executed. Further, the advance notice effect is executed during the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the reach effect, so that the variable display result is obtained in the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the reach effect. It may be possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the game is a big hit, and to prevent the game from being enjoyed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22, when the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit type is always big hit C when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-4. On the other hand, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3, the jackpot type can be any of the jackpot A, the jackpot B, and the jackpot C, so that the cut-in effect is changed to the pattern CI-4 during the variable display. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is executed. Further, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3, there is a possibility that the big hit type is the big hit A or the big hit B. Therefore, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result. In the case of a miss, the player can be made to think that even if it is a big hit, it may have been a big hit A or a big hit B. Can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-26, any of 4 to 6 is set as a set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (that is, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is displayed. When the cut-in effect is decided to be executed in the pattern CI-3, which is an effect pattern with a high expectation of a big hit, when the advance notice effect is executed, the expectation of a big hit is high. Since the effect pattern is determined from the effect patterns (pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2) excluding the pattern YE-3 and the pattern YE-4, the advance notice effect is executed by the patterns YE-3 and YE-4. It is possible to prevent the player from recognizing in advance that the variable display result will be a big hit. Therefore, even though the variable display result does not become a big hit, the player is opposed to the fact that the variable display result becomes a big hit due to the execution of the pattern CI-3 and the patterns YE-3 and YE-4 during the same variable display. It is possible to prevent the expectation of the person from being excessively increased.

In the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, any one of 4 to 6 is set as a set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-3, which is an effect pattern with high expectation of a big hit. As a form of restricting the execution of the notice effect in the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4 when the execution of the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4 is restricted, the execution ratio of the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4 is set to 0% (notice effect). The present invention is not limited to this, and any of 4 to 6 is set as a set value for the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the cut-in effect is set and the execution is decided in the pattern CI-3, which is an effect pattern with a high expectation of a big hit, the advance notice effect is given at a lower rate than the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2. It may be possible to execute with the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4. That is, in the present claim, "when the advantageous setting value is set and it is not determined by the determination means that the advantageous state is controlled, the suggestion effect is provided in an embodiment including the specific effect. When it is executed, the execution of the second predetermined effect is restricted. ”In order to prevent the advance notice effect from being executed by the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4, the advance notice effect is performed by the pattern YE-1 or the pattern. A form in which the pattern YE-3 or the pattern YE-4 is executed at a lower rate than the case where the YE-2 is executed is also included.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-21, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) out of the super reach γ. In that case, if the set values are the same, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 in the high-accuracy high-base state is the cut-in effect in the low-accuracy low-base state and the low-accuracy high-base state. It is set higher than the rate executed by pattern CI-3. Therefore, when the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state, the cut-in effect is produced in the variable display of the super reach γ deviation as compared with the case where the gaming state is the low-accuracy low-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state. Since the ratio of execution in the pattern CI-3 is high, it becomes easy for the player to recognize that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 in the high accuracy and high base state. After the player recognizes that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 by executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 in the high accuracy and high base state. Is easy for the player to continue the game even after the gaming state shifts to the low probability low base state, so that the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be improved.

In the feature unit 008SG of the present embodiment, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variable display is displayed by the fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) of the super reach γ deviation. When executed, when the gaming state is the high accuracy high base state, if the set values are the same, the cut-in rate is higher than when the gaming state is the low accuracy low base state or the low accuracy high base state. Although the embodiment in which the effect can be performed by the pattern CI-3 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. Moreover, when the variable display is executed with the fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) out of the super reach γ, the cut-in effect can be executed with the pattern CI-3 when the gaming state is the high accuracy and high base state. If the gaming state is a low-accuracy low-base state or a low-accuracy high-base state, the cut-in effect may be disabled by the pattern CI-3.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a meter effect in which the meter 008SG005m is updated from 0% to 20%, 33%, 50%, and 100%, and interrupts the meter effect. It is possible to execute an interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect with a success pattern and a failure pattern. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), when the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect in the success pattern, the effect pseudo-ream suggestion effect is always executed after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. However, if the meter 008SG005m is not updated to 50% as the meter effect, there are cases where a pseudo continuous effect is executed after the meter effect and a case where a normal reach reach effect is executed. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-6 (B), 8-28 (B), and 8-29 to 8-31, the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect in the success pattern. When this is done, the meter effect is not restarted, and when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the meter effect is restarted.

Therefore, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect in the success pattern, the effect control CPU 120 executes the pseudo-ream effect at a higher rate than when the meter 008SG005m is not updated to 50% as the meter effect. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest even if the meter effect interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is not restarted, while the effect control CPU 120 performs the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect in a failure pattern. At the time of execution, the meter effect is restarted from the updated state of the meter 008Sg005m at the time of interruption due to the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect, so that the deterioration of the game entertainment can be suppressed.

In this feature unit 008SG, when the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the meter 008SG005m at the time of interruption due to the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is updated after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. Although the embodiment in which the meter effect is restarted is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the updated state of the meter 008SG005m is displayed. The meter effect may be restarted as an update situation that is more advantageous for the player than the interruption due to the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. Specifically, for example, when the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect while the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33%, the meter effect should be restarted from the state where the meter 008SG005m is updated to 40%. Just do it. By doing so, when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, in addition to the notification that the pseudo-continuous effect is executed as the effect result of the meter effect to be restarted, the super reach δ Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is notified that the reach effect of the above is executed, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, in the present feature unit 008SG, when the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the meter 008SG005m at the time of interruption due to the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is updated after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. Although the embodiment in which the meter effect is restarted is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the updated state of the meter 008SG005m is displayed. The meter effect may be restarted as an update situation that is more disadvantageous to the player than the interruption due to the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. Specifically, for example, when the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33%, the meter effect is started from the state where the meter 008SG005m is updated to 0% or 10%. Should be restarted. By doing so, when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect and the execution of the reach effect of the super reach δ are notified again in the restarted meter effect. Since it is possible to make the player recognize that he / she has been given a chance to play, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

Further, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect in the success pattern, the pseudo-continuous effect is performed at a higher rate than when the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect in the failure pattern. By executing this, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest even if the meter effect interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is not restarted, while the effect control CPU 120 makes the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect a failure pattern. Since the aspect of the meter 008SG005m updated by the long press operation of the push button 31B by the player is taken over by the meter effect that is restarted after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the player resumes the meter effect. At times, it is possible to recognize that the long press operation of oneself is not wasted, and it is possible to further suppress the deterioration of the game entertainment.

Further, in the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated by the player pressing and holding the push button 31B, while in the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion is performed by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B. As the production progresses, it can be clarified that the meter production and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion production are individual productions.

It should be noted that the feature unit 008SG exemplifies a mode in which the operation mode of the push button 31B by the game is different between the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. The operation mode of the push button 31B by the game may be the same for the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect.

Further, in the present feature unit 008SG, the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect both illustrate a form in which the operation target by the game is the push button 31B, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operation target by the player in the meter effect is the push button 31B, and the operation target by the player in the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is the stick controller 31A. The operation target by the player may be different. By doing so, it is possible to further clarify that the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect are individual effects.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG, an embodiment in which the motion detection means in the present invention is a push button 31B is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the motion detection in the present invention includes a pachinko game. A contact-type motion detecting means such as a touch sensor capable of detecting a player's contact with a specific area of the machine 1 or a non-contact motion detecting means such as a motion sensor capable of detecting an motion such as a player's gesture. It may be provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 so that the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect can be advanced according to the detection of the player's motion by these motion detecting means.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36, the total of the period B and the period C, which is the acceptance period of the long press operation of the push button 31B when the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. Is the same as the period A which is the acceptance period of the long press operation of the push button 31B when the meter effect is not interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, so that the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. Since it is not necessary to manage the acceptance period of the long press operation of the push button 31B individually for the meter effect before the interruption and the meter effect after the restart, it is possible to prevent the detection control of the long press operation of the push button 31B from becoming complicated. be able to.

In this feature unit 008SG, the meter effect simulates the total of the period B and the period C, which are the acceptance periods of the long press operation of the push button 31B when the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. An example is illustrated in which the push button 31B is the same as the period A, which is the acceptance period for the long press operation when the push button 31B is not interrupted by the continuous suggestion effect. The total of period B and period C, which is the acceptance period for the long press operation of the push button 31B when interrupted by the continuous suggestion effect, is the long press of the push button 31B when the meter effect is not interrupted by the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. It may be a longer period or a shorter period than the period A which is the acceptance period of the operation.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-39 and 8-40, when the effect image of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is displayed on the image display device 5, the meter immediately before the start of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. Since the effect image of the effect is displayed as a reduced image 008SG005h in the lower left of the image display device 5, the player is made to recognize that the meter effect is not completed even during the execution of the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. Can be done.

In the feature unit 008SG, the reduced image 008SG005h is displayed at the lower left of the image display device 5 while the effect image of the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is displayed on the image display device 5. By reducing the visibility of the effect image of the meter effect in 5, that is, by making the display area of the effect image of the meter effect in the image display device more intellectual than the display area of the effect image of the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. Although the visibility of the effect image of the meter effect is reduced, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, while the effect image of the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is displayed on the image display device 5. May reduce the visibility of the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 by transparently displaying the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 or reducing the display color.

Further, while the effect image of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is displayed on the image display device 5, the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 is hidden, and the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R is used instead. By emitting light from the game effect lamp 9 or the game effect lamp 9, the player may be able to recognize that the meter effect has not been completed even during the execution of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (A), when the effect control CPU 120 restarts the meter effect during the variable display, the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is not executed again during the variable display. It is possible to prevent the production control of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect from becoming complicated.

It should be noted that the feature unit 008SG exemplifies a mode in which when the meter effect is restarted during the variable display, the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is not executed again during the variable display. The present invention is not limited, and even when the meter effect is restarted during the variable display, the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect may be executed again during the variable display.

In particular, when the pseudo-ream effect is executed multiple times during the variable display, the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect can be executed along with each pseudo-ream effect, so that the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-effect can be executed. Since the player can be further focused on whether or not the pseudo-continuous production is executed as the production result of the continuous suggestion effect, the game entertainment can be improved.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these, and the present invention includes any changes or additions within the scope of the gist of the present invention. ..

For example, in the feature unit 008SG, as shown in FIG. 8-1, the first reserved storage display area 008SG005D and the second reserved storage display area 008SG005U are set at two positions on the left and right below the display area of the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The active display area 008SG005F that can be displayed as the active display may be set.

When the active display area 008SG005F is set in the image display device 5 in this way, as shown in FIGS. 8-44 (C) to 8-44 (E), a plurality of active displays are displayed during variable display. It is possible to execute an active display change effect that changes to any of the modes, and the jackpot expectation of the variable display may be different depending on the display mode of the changed active display (in the example shown in FIGS. 8-44, it is active). The display can be displayed in a round white display, a square white display, and a star-shaped white display. The round white display has the lowest jackpot expectation, and the star-shaped white display has the highest jackpot expectation. (Expected jackpot: Star-shaped white display> Square-shaped white display> Round-shaped white display)).

Further, when the active display change effect can be executed during the variable display in this way, as shown in FIG. 8-44 (B), the active suggesting that the display mode of the active display changes during the variable display. Whether or not the display mode of the active display is changed by executing the display change suggestion effect (in FIG. 8-44 (B), the action effect in which the character acts on the active display) is executed. It may be possible to draw the attention of the player.

Further, as the modification 008SG-1, as shown in FIGS. 8-45, the active display change effect can be executed at an arbitrary timing during the variable display, while the execution period and the meter effect during the variable display can be executed. During the execution period of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the active display change suggestion effect cannot be executed, and the active display change suggestion effect can be executed only during the non-execution period of the meter effect during variable display and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. May be good. By doing so, during the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display, the player can pay attention to the display mode of the active display, while the meter effect during the variable display can be performed. During the execution period of the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, it is possible to prevent the player from paying attention to the active display change suggestion effect to reduce the effect of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect.

Further, in the present modification 008SG-1, the active display change suggestion effect cannot be executed as a form of restricting the execution of the active display change suggestion effect during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display. Although the embodiment is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention limits the execution of the active display change suggestion effect during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display. For example, in the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display, the active display change suggestion effect is executed at a lower rate than the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display. What to do, what to execute the active display change suggestion effect by displaying an image smaller than the non-execution period of the meter effect and interrupt pseudo-repeated effect during variable display (meter effect and interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion during variable display) A character smaller than the non-execution period of the effect acts on the active display), and as an active display change suggestion effect, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and light emission of the game effect lamp 9 instead of the image display, etc. May be.

Further, in the present modification 008SG-1, an embodiment in which an active display change effect can be executed during variable display is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is based on the start prize when a start prize is generated. The hold display may be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and the hold display notice effect may be executed in which the jackpot expectation of the variable display based on the hold display differs depending on the display mode of the hold display. Further, when the hold display notice effect can be executed, the hold display displayed in the first hold storage display area 008SG005D or the second hold storage display area 008SG005U at the timing such as during variable display or at the end of variable display. The display mode of the above may be changed.

Further, when such a hold display notice effect can be executed, the display mode of the hold display changes with respect to the hold display displayed in the first hold storage display area 008SG005D or the second hold storage display area 008SG005U. In addition to making it possible to execute the change suggestion effect that suggests, the execution of the change suggestion effect during the execution period of the meter effect during the variable display and the execution period of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect may be restricted.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG, any value from 1 to 6 is set as a set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit is made different according to the set value (set value). Although the embodiment is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the setting suggestion effect regarding the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be executed during the variable display or the jackpot game.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-46 (A) to 8-46 (D) as a modified example 008SG-2, as a setting suggestion effect, a variable symbol different from the decorative symbol is changed during variable display in the image display device 5. The reel image 008SG005G for executing the display is displayed, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the symbol finally derived and displayed in the reel image 008SG005G is a high setting value (for example, 4 to 6). (In the case of this modification 008SG-2, the case where the "cherry" symbol is derived and displayed is the highest set value expectation (pachinko gaming machine). The high expectation that the set value set to 1 is any of 4 to 6) is high, and the highest setting value expectation is the lowest when the "bell" symbol is derived and displayed. For each symbol that is derived and displayed. High setting value Expectation: "Cherry" symbol> "Watermelon" symbol> "Bell" symbol).

When the reel effect (setting suggestion effect) can be executed during the variable display in this way, as shown in FIGS. 8-47, the reel effect is performed during the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. While making it feasible, the reel effect may be infeasible during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. By doing so, during the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display, the player pays attention to whether or not the reel effect is executed and the design derived and displayed as the reel effect. On the other hand, during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display, the player pays attention to whether or not the reel effect is executed and the design derived and displayed as the reel effect. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the effect of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-reel suggestion effect.

In the present modification 008SG-2, in the present modification 008SG-2, the execution of the reel effect (setting suggestion effect) is restricted during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display. Although the embodiment in which the reel effect cannot be executed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution of the reel effect during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display is restricted. For example, in the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display, the display area is different from the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display of the reel effect. Those displayed on, those that execute the reel effect at a rate lower than the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display, and the meter effect and the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect during the variable display of the reel effect. It may be executed by displaying an image smaller than the non-execution period of.

Further, in the present modification 008SG-2, as a setting suggestion effect, a form suggesting an expectation that a high setting value is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. , As the setting suggestion effect, it may be suggested which of the plurality of set values is set, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been set since the previous start of the pachinko gaming machine 1. It may suggest that it has changed.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG, during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach, the presence / absence of execution of the meter effect and the effect mode, the execution / non-execution of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, and the effect mode (effect pattern) are determined by the variable pattern. Although the embodiment that is uniquely determined is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 8-48 as a modified example 008SG-3, the presence / absence of execution of the meter effect, the effect mode, and the interruption. It may be possible to determine whether or not the pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed and the effect mode (effect pattern) at different ratios depending on the variation pattern, the variable display result, the number of times the pseudo-continuous effect is executed during the variable display, and the like.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), in the meter effect when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is not executed, the execution of the reach effect of the normal reach or the reach effect of the super reach δ is notified. In the meter effect that is executed and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern and restarted, only the execution of the pseudo-ream effect is notified, that is, the meter effect when the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is not executed. , However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to the present invention. There may be a case where the execution of a common effect is notified between the meter effect when the pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is not executed and the meter effect in which the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern and restarted.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-49 (A) and 8-49 (B) as the modified example 008SG-4, the special figure fluctuation time is 35,000 ms as the fluctuation pattern, and the pseudo-continuous effect is performed during the variable display. The fluctuation pattern of normal reach (PA2-1C, PB1-1C) to be executed once is added to the fluctuation pattern of the feature section 008SG in the previous period, and these special figure fluctuation times are 35,000 ms, and the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once during the variable display. During the variable display of the fluctuation pattern of the normal reach (PA2-1C, PB1-1C), only the meter effect of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed, and the meter 008Sg005m is played as the effect result of the meter effect. It may be possible to update up to 50% (a mode for notifying the execution of the pseudo continuous effect) by a long press operation of the push button 31B of the person.

In the present modification 008SG-4, as disclosed in the feature section 008SG, the variable display is performed by setting the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern so that the longer the special fluctuation time is, the higher the jackpot expectation is. At least for the fluctuation pattern in which the meter performance is executed, the meter effect in which the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed is executed, and the execution of the normal reach reach effect is notified as the effect result of the meter effect (PA2-). 1B, PB1-1B) has the lowest expectation of a big hit, and thereafter, a meter effect is executed in which the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed, and the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified as the effect result of the meter effect. (PA2-1C, PB1-1C), when the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified as the effect result of the meter effect restarted after the interrupted pseudo-continuous suggestion effect (PA2-2A, PB1-2A). When the execution of the pseudo-ream effect is notified as the effect result of the pseudo-ream suggestion effect (when the pseudo-ream effect is executed in the success pattern; PA2-2B, PA2-3, PA2-4, PB1-3 to PB1 -5) When the meter effect is executed without executing the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, and the execution of the reach effect of the super reach δ is notified as the effect result of the meter effect (PA2-5, PB1-6). ), The expectation of big hits increases.

By doing so, the player was notified of which effect was executed as the effect result of the meter effect during the variable display, and was notified of the execution of the pseudo-ream effect as the effect result of the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. Since the jackpot expectation can be recognized depending on whether or not it is present, the player can be further focused on the interrupted pseudo-ream suggestion effect of these meter effects during the variable display, and the game interest can be improved.

Further, as shown in the feature section 008SG, when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at a higher rate than when the meter 008SG005m is not updated to 50% as the meter effect. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game entertainment even if the meter effect interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is not restarted, but when the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, In the meter effect that is restarted after the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect, whether or not the effect mode is the same as that of the meter effect in which the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is not executed (whether or not the execution of the pseudo-ream effect is notified). ) Can be noticed by the player, so that it is possible to suppress a decline in the interest in the game.

In this modification 008SG-4, both the meter effect when the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is not executed and the meter effect where the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern and restarted are both pseudo-ream. Although the embodiment in which the execution of the effect can be notified is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is not executed are in a failure pattern. It may be possible to notify the execution of the reach effect of the normal reach or the super reach, the number of times of the pseudo continuous effect to be executed, and the like in both the meter effect that has been executed and restarted.

Further, the feature unit 008SG exemplifies a mode in which the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect can be executed during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach, but the present invention is not limited to this. , These meter effects and interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effects may be feasible even after the reach (during the reach effect period). In this case, a case is provided in which a pseudo-reach effect or a reach effect with a higher expectation of a big hit is developed (reach-up) even during the reach effect, and a pseudo-reach effect during the reach effect is performed by a meter effect or an interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. It suffices to make it possible for the player to pay attention to whether or not the execution of the continuous production or the reach-up is notified.

Further, the feature unit 008SG exemplifies a mode in which the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect can be executed during the variable display, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-effect are not limited to this. The continuous suggestion effect may be executed during a period other than the variable display such as during a big hit game. If the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect can be executed during the jackpot game, for example, the number of rounds of the jackpot game and the jackpot game end by the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-ream suggestion effect. It suffices to be able to notify later whether or not the state is controlled to a probable change state or a time saving state.

Further, the feature unit 008SG exemplifies a mode in which an interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect may be executed based on the fact that the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33% as a meter effect, but the present invention is limited to this. However, the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect may be executed at any timing regardless of the update mode of the meter 008SG005m. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed until the meter effect is completed, so that the game interest can be improved.

Further, in the feature unit 008SG, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is exemplified as a gaming machine for performing a predetermined game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the gaming machine for performing a predetermined game is at least a predetermined game. In addition to the pachinko gaming machine 1, a slot machine or a general game machine may be used as long as it performs the above. When the present invention is applied to a slot machine, as a first specific effect (corresponding to a meter effect in the feature unit 008SG) and a second specific effect (corresponding to an interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect in the feature unit 008SG). It suffices to be able to notify that an effect advantageous to the player, such as an effect of injecting into the ART and an effect of adding the number of ARTs, is executed.

Further, in the present specification, a plurality of feature portions and modified examples are exemplified as the form of the gaming machine of the present invention, but as the gaming machine of the present invention, these plurality of feature portions and modified examples may be combined and carried out. Alternatively, only one feature portion or modification may be carried out.
