Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine capable of playing a game.

As a game machine, a game ball, which is a game medium, is launched into a game area by a launching device, and when the game ball wins a prize in a prize area such as a prize opening provided in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player. There is something that can be done. Further, a variable display device capable of variable display (also referred to as “variation”) of the identification information is provided, and when the display result of the variable display of the identification information becomes the specific display result in the variable display device, the gaming state (game). There is a machine (so-called pachinko machine) configured to give a predetermined game value to a player by changing the state of the machine. Therefore, specifically, the state in which the game machine is controlled).

Further, after setting a predetermined number of bets for one game on a predetermined game medium, the player operates the start lever to start variable display of the identification information by the variable display device, and the player changes each. By operating the stop button provided corresponding to the display device, the variable display of the identification information is stopped within the range of the maximum delay time predetermined from the operation timing, and the variable display of all the variable display devices is displayed. When a prize is generated according to the display result derived when the game is stopped, a predetermined game medium determined in advance is paid out according to the prize, and a specific prize is generated, the game state is set to the predetermined game value by the player. There is something that is configured to give to (so-called slot machine).

The game value means that the state of the variable winning ball device provided in the game area of the gaming machine becomes advantageous for the player who can easily win the ball, or becomes advantageous for the player. It is to generate rights and to be in a state where the conditions for paying out prize balls are likely to be satisfied.

In the pachinko gaming machine, as a display result of the variable display of the special symbol (identification information) started in the variable display device based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning opening, a predetermined specific display mode is derived and displayed. If so, a "big hit" will occur. The derivation display is to finally stop and display the symbol (final stop symbol). When a big hit occurs, for example, the big winning opening is opened a predetermined number of times to shift to a big hit game state in which a hit ball is easy to win. Then, in each opening period, if there is a prize in a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the large winning openings, the large winning openings are closed. The number of times the large winning opening is opened is fixed to a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds). An opening time (for example, 29 seconds) is determined for each opening, and even if the number of winnings does not reach a predetermined number, the large winning opening is closed when the opening time elapses. Hereinafter, the opening period of each large winning opening may be referred to as a round. Also, a game in a round may be called a round game.

Further, in the variable display device, the symbols other than the symbol that becomes the final stop symbol (for example, the middle symbol among the left middle right symbols) continue for a predetermined time and stop or shake in a state of matching with a specific display result. A big hit can occur before the final result is displayed due to movement, enlargement / reduction or deformation, multiple symbols fluctuating in synchronization with the same symbol, or the positions of the displayed symbols being swapped. The effect performed in a state where the sex continues (hereinafter, these states are referred to as a reach state) is referred to as a reach effect. In addition, the reach state and its state are referred to as a reach mode. Further, the variable display including the reach effect is called the reach variable display. Then, if the display result of the symbol that is variablely displayed on the variable display device is not a specific display result, it becomes "off" and the variable display state ends. The player plays the game while enjoying how to generate a big hit.

Some such gaming machines are configured to be able to execute a specific effect that can be executed in a predetermined period. For example, in Patent Document 1, when the decorative symbol of the pseudo-continuous chance eye is temporarily stopped, the meter display (specific display) changes to 10%, and thereafter, the second pseudo-continuous variation and the third pseudo-continuous variation. Is executed, and it is described that the display mode of the meter display changes to 50%. Further, Patent Document 2 describes that the reliability is suggested depending on which effect element is output to which effect the effect progresses.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-128138 (paragraph 0178, FIG. 15) JP-A-2018-161234 (paragraph 0021)

By using the gaming machines described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is possible to enable a specific effect that can be executed in a predetermined period. However, the effect of changing the effect mode of the specific display and the effect suggesting that the specific effect will be continued are executed without being related to each other, and there is a possibility that the interest in executing the specific effect may be rather deteriorated. ..

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of suppressing a decrease in interest when performing a specific effect.

(Means 1) The gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and is a specific display means (for example, a meter display 023IW11) capable of displaying a specific display (for example, meter display 023IW11) whose production mode can be changed stepwise. For example, a step 023IWS308, S315 in the effect control CPU 120 and a specific effect execution means (for example, a step in the effect control CPU 120) capable of executing a specific effect (for example, a notice continuous effect) that can be executed in a predetermined period. The specific effect executing means includes, at least, the first special effect (for example, the L1 selection shown in FIG. 9-9 (E)) that changes the effect mode of the specific display in the specific effect. The effect, the L2 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-10 (L), the L3 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-11 (P)), and the second special effect suggesting that the specific effect continues (for example, FIG. 9-9). It is possible to execute a plurality of types of special effects including (F), NEXT selection effect shown in FIGS. 9-10 (I) and 9-11 (M), and a second special effect is executed when the first special effect is executed. The special effect can be executed (see FIGS. 9-9 (E), (F), 9-10 (L) and 9-11 (M)), and the effect mode of the specific display is set in the first special effect. Compared with the case of changing to the first stage, when the effect mode of the specific display is changed to the second stage, which is lower than the first stage in the first special effect, the second special effect is executed at a higher rate (Fig.). 9-5 and FIG. 9-6). According to such a configuration, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest when performing a specific effect.

(Means 2) In the means 1, the specific effect executing means suggests which of a plurality of types of special effects is to be executed in the specific effect (for example, FIG. 9-8 (C), (D), FIGS. 9-9 (G), (H), FIGS. 9-10 (J), (K), and the roulette effect shown in FIGS. 9-11 (N), (O)) can be executed. (For example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing steps 023IWS309 and S305) may be configured. According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest when performing a specific effect.

(Means 3) In the means 2, the specific effect executing means can execute a third special effect (for example, the development selection effect shown in FIG. 9-12 (Q)) suggesting that the specific effect ends as a special effect. Therefore, as a suggestion effect, an effect suggesting which special effect of the first special effect or the second special effect is to be executed is executed, and the suggestion effect does not suggest the execution of the third special effect (for example). 9-8 (C), (D), 9-9 (G), (H), 9-10 (J), (K), and 9-11 (N), (O). As shown, in the roulette effect, the roulette image including the options corresponding to the development selection effect may not be displayed). According to such a configuration, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest due to the execution of the third special effect in the specific effect.

(Means 4) In any one of the means 1 to the means 3, the specific effect executing means is described in the third special effect (for example, FIG. 9-12 (Q)), which suggests that the specific effect ends as a special effect. The chance to show the 4th special effect (for example, FIG. 9-13 (A)), which is different from the 1st special effect, the 2nd special effect, and the 3rd special effect, while being able to execute the development selection effect shown. The selective effect) can be executed, and the second special effect may be executed without fail when the fourth special effect is executed (see FIG. 9-13 (B)). According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest when performing a specific effect.

(Means 5) In any one of the means 1 to the means 4, the specific effect executing means is changed in the first special effect executed last time at a high rate each time the second special effect is executed in the specific effect. The first special effect of changing the effect mode of the specific display at a higher stage than the effect mode of the specific display is executed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6, the NEXT selection effect is executed. Each time the roulette effect is executed, the meter display is configured to change the meter display to a level higher than the level raised in the previously executed selection effect, and the meter display changes to a lower level than the previous time. It may be configured so that there is no case). According to such a configuration, the player's expectation can be increased each time the second special effect is executed in the specific effect.

(Means 6) In any one of the means 1 to the means 5, a plurality of set values (for example, a plurality of set values) that can be controlled to an advantageous state advantageous for the player (for example, a big hit gaming state) and have different advantages for the player (for example). , A gaming machine (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1) that can be set to any of the set values 1 to 6), and can execute a predetermined effect by any of a plurality of types of effect modes. Predetermined effect execution means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 gives a setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7, or a reach notice based on the patterns PT-8 and PT-9 as the effect during variable display. The effect mode of the predetermined effect is a special mode (for example, a reach notice based on the special pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9), which is provided with a feasible part) and suggests that the predetermined effect is controlled to an advantageous state. , A specific mode (for example, a setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 which is a specific pattern) for making a suggestion regarding the setting, and the predetermined effect executing means is the predetermined effect of the special mode and the specific mode. When both of the predetermined effects can be executed (for example, the timing when the predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the variable display of the symbol (the timing before the variable display mode reaches the reach)), the predetermined effect of the special mode is performed. It can be executed with priority over a predetermined effect of a specific embodiment (for example, in the effect determination process during variable display shown in FIG. 8-15 of the first embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 has a pattern PT-9 in a lottery for a reach notice. If you win, the part that determines the execution of the reach notice (high) based on the pattern PT-9 in 103SGS294 with priority over the setting suggestion, or even if the lottery of the setting suggestion is executed in 103SGS296, the pattern PT-5 If the setting suggestion (high) based on PT-7 is not won, the setting suggestion (high) based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 is executed by the 103SGS301 to execute the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8. A part that is determined with priority over (low). / Pattern PT1 in the relationship of reach notice (high)> setting suggestion (high)> reach notice (low)> setting suggestion (low) for the effect control CPU 120. It may be configured so as to determine the execution of the effect based on any of the above-mentioned PT-9 (see FIG. 8-20 of Modification 1). According to such a configuration, when the control is performed in an advantageous state, it is possible to prevent the predetermined effect of a specific mode from being executed and the effect from becoming inappropriate.

(Basic explanation)
First, the basic configuration and control of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (also the configuration and control of a general pachinko gaming machine) will be described.

(Configuration of pachinko gaming machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and shows an arrangement layout of main members. The pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly classified into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting the game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 for supporting and fixing the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device into the game area.

A variable display (also referred to as a special figure game) of a special symbol (also referred to as a special figure) as a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B to be performed are provided. Each of these consists of 7-segment LEDs and the like. The special symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

The "variable display" of the special symbol is, for example, to display a plurality of types of special symbols in a variable manner (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include update display of a plurality of symbols, scroll display of a plurality of symbols, deformation of one or more symbols, enlargement / reduction of one or more symbols, and the like. In the variation of the special symbol or the ordinary symbol described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or ordinary symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of the decorative symbol described later, a plurality of types of decorative symbols are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative symbols are deformed or enlarged / reduced. It should be noted that the fluctuation includes a mode in which a certain symbol is blinking and displayed. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to the variable display of other symbols described later). The variable display may be expressed as variable display or variable.

The special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as a "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as a "second special symbol". Further, the special figure game using the first special figure is also referred to as a "first special figure game", and the special figure game using the second special figure is also referred to as a "second special figure game". It should be noted that there may be only one type of special symbol display device that performs variable display of the special symbol.

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device), an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), or the like, and displays various effects images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5.

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, a decorative symbol (a symbol indicating a number or the like) as a plurality of types of decorative identification information different from the special symbol is synchronized with the first special figure game or the second special figure game. Is variablely displayed. Here, in synchronization with the first special figure game or the second special figure game, the decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, up and down) in each of the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of "left", "middle", and "right". Direction scroll display and update display). It should be noted that the special figure game and the variable display of decorative symbols executed in synchronization are collectively referred to as simply variable display.

On the screen of the image display device 5, a display area for displaying a hold display corresponding to the variable display in which execution is suspended or an active display corresponding to the variable display being executed may be provided. Hold display and active display are collectively referred to as variable display compatible display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable displays on hold is also called the number of hold storages. The number of reserved storage corresponding to the first special figure game is also referred to as the first reserved storage number, and the number of reserved storage corresponding to the second special figure game is also referred to as the second reserved storage number. Further, the total of the first reserved storage number and the second reserved storage number is also referred to as a total reserved storage number.

Further, at a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B configured to include a plurality of LEDs are provided, and the first hold indicator 25A has the number of LEDs lit. The first hold storage number is displayed, and the second hold display 25B displays the second hold storage number according to the number of LEDs lit.

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

The winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening in which a game ball is always kept in a constant open state in which a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member.

Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning door (for special electric accessory) is off, the big winning door closes the big winning door and the game ball is large. You will not be able to enter (pass) the winning opening. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is on, the large winning opening door opens the large winning opening, and the game ball can easily enter the large winning opening. Become.

When a game ball enters the large prize opening, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When a game ball enters the large winning opening, more prize balls are paid out than when the game ball enters, for example, the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the general winning opening 10.

The entry of a game ball into each winning opening including the general winning opening 10 is also referred to as "winning". In particular, winning a prize at the starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as a starting winning.

A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the left side of the game area). As an example, the ordinary symbol display 20 is composed of 7-segment LEDs and the like, and performs variable display of ordinary symbols as a plurality of types of ordinary identification information different from special symbols. Ordinary symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" or lighting patterns such as "-". The normal symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of a normal pattern is also called a normal figure game.

A passing gate 41 through which a game ball can pass is provided on the left side of the image display device 5. Based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41, the normal drawing game is executed.

Above the normal symbol display 20, a normal symbol hold display 25C is provided. The normal figure hold display 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of normal figure hold storages, which is the number of normal figure games whose execution is held, by the number of LEDs lit.

(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. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal map game (when the game ball passes through the passing 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 a normal symbol other than a normal symbol (a normal symbol lost symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed normal symbol, the display result of the normal symbol becomes "normal symbol lost". When it becomes "per-normal", 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 number (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 becomes "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 big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state includes the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as an opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is open in this way is called a round (round game). In the big hit game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number (15 times or 2 times) is reached.

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, a time saving state, and a probability change state, which is advantageous for the player, 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 for 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 "missing", 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 loss") may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern may be "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "missing", 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 ("reach loss") that is not a big hit combination. The confirmed decorative symbol (also referred to as) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "reach loss").

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 a 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 lost 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 "missing", 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 cuts 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. In addition, when the reception waiting time for 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.

(Explanation of Feature 103SG of the present embodiment)
Next, the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment will be described. In the description of each step of the flowchart in the present embodiment, for example, the part described as "step S1" may be abbreviated as "S1" or "103SGS1", or "normal reach" may be abbreviated as "N reach". "Super reach" may be abbreviated as "S reach" or "SP reach". Further, a configuration having the same function as the pachinko gaming machine 1 described in the basic explanation or having a different form, arrangement position, etc. but having the same function will be designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the following, the front side of FIG. 1 is the front (front, front) side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the back side is the back (rear) side, and the vertical and horizontal directions when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front side. It will be explained as a standard. The front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present embodiment is a facing surface facing the player playing the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Next, the gaming machine according to the first embodiment in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-1 to 8-19.

First, FIG. 8-1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, and shows the layout of the main members. As shown in FIGS. 8-1 and 8-3, the pachinko gaming machine (gaming machine) 1 is roughly classified into an outer frame 103SG001a formed in a vertically long square frame shape and a gaming board (gauge) constituting the game board surface. It is composed of a board) 2 and a game machine frame (underframe) 103SG003 that supports and fixes the game board 2. A game area is formed on the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined ball launching device into the game area. Further, in the game machine frame 103SG003, between the door opening position where the glass door frame 103SG003a having a glass window opens the front surface of the game machine frame 103SG003 with the left side as the center and the door closing position where the front surface is closed. It is rotatably provided, and the game area can be opened and closed by the glass door frame 103SG003a, and when the glass door frame 103SG003a is closed, the game area can be seen through the glass window.

Further, the gaming machine frame 103SG003 can be opened by inserting a door key owned by a game hall clerk into a lock (not shown) and unlocking it, and players other than the clerk can open the gaming machine frame 103SG003 and glass. The door frame 103SG003a cannot be opened.

The left game area 103SG002L is a game area in which a game ball launched relatively weakly (left-handed) by the operation of the ball striking operation handle 30 flows down, and the right game area 103SG002R is a left game area 103SG002L by the operation of the ball striking operation handle 30. This is a game area in which a game ball launched (right-handed) stronger than the game ball flowing down passes through the upper path 103SG002C of the image display device 5 and flows down.

Further, a general winning opening 10 is arranged in the left game area 103SG002L, and a passing gate 41, a variable winning ball device 6B, and a general winning ball device 6B are arranged in the right game area 103SG002R from the upstream side to the downstream side of the right game area 103SG002R. A winning opening 10 and a special variable winning ball device 7 are arranged. That is, the game ball flowing down the left game area 103SG002L can win a prize in the first starting winning opening formed by the general winning opening 10 and the winning ball device 6A, and the game ball flowing down the right game area 103SG002R is variable. It is possible to win a prize in the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, the general winning opening 10 and the large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7, and it is possible to pass through the passing gate 41.

As shown in FIG. 8-1, a plurality of obstacle nails 103SGK1 are arranged between the winning ball device 6A, the variable winning ball device 6B, and the special variable winning ball device 7. Therefore, the game ball flowing down the left game area 103SG002L cannot win the second start winning opening or the big winning opening, and the game ball flowing down the right game area 103SG002R cannot win the first starting winning opening. It has become.

As shown in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-3, the main board 11 in the feature portion 103SG of the present embodiment is housed in the board case 103SG201 which is configured to be openable by the first member and the second member. It is mounted on the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the state. Further, on the main board 11, a lock switch 103SG051 for switching the set value of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to a changeable set value change state, a jackpot winning probability (ball output rate) described later in the set value change state, and the like are used. A setting changeover switch 103SG052 that functions as a setting switch for changing a set value, and an open sensor 103SG090 that detects the opening of the gaming machine frame 103SG003 are provided. Although the details will be described later, the set value change state in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment is a state in which a clerk of the game hall or the like can confirm the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (set value confirmation state). ).

The setting switching main body unit provided with an operation unit that can be operated by the player, such as the lock switch 103SG051 and the setting changeover switch 103SG052, is housed in the board case 103SG201 together with the main board 11, and the lock switch 103SG051 and the setting changeover switch 103SG052. Is exposed to the back side through an opening formed in the back surface of the board case 103SG201 so that it can be operated without opening the board case 103SG201.

Since the board case 103SG201 having the lock switch 103SG051 and the setting changeover switch 103SG052 is provided on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1, it is extremely difficult to operate the gaming machine frame 103SG003 when the gaming machine frame 103SG003 is closed. It can be operated by opening the gaming machine frame 103SG003. Further, since the lock switch 103SG051 requires the operation of the setting key owned by the store clerk of the amusement park or the like, only the store clerk who possesses the setting key can operate the lock switch 103SG051. Further, the lock switch 103SG051 is also a switch capable of executing an ON / OFF switching operation described later by a setting key. In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, the mode in which the door key and the setting key are separate keys is exemplified, but these may be shared by one key.

Further, a display monitor 103SG029 capable of displaying a set value and a base value described later is arranged on the board case 103SG201. The display monitor 103SG029 is connected to the main board 11 and is arranged on the upper part of the board case 103SG201. That is, the display monitor 103SG029 is arranged in front of the main board 11 in the board case 103SG201 when visually recognizing it. Since the main board 11 cannot be visually recognized when the gaming machine frame 103SG003 is not opened, the front surface when visually recognizing the main board 11 is the back surface side of the gaming board 2 when the gaming machine frame 103SG003 is opened.

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.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the variable display result is set to be "big hit" in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, so that the big hit expectation is set to be high. In the super reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

In addition, in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are classified into the types of fluctuation patterns, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, and the like. Instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation patterns belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type after determining first, only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and 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 to determine these variations. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first from the random value for determining the pattern type, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6, the feature unit 103SG 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, in the case of the fluctuation pattern PA2-1 that is out of normal reach, if the set value is 1, the fluctuation pattern is out of normal reach, and if the set value is 2, a pseudo-continuous effect is performed. If the set value is 3 as the fluctuation pattern that is executed twice and becomes non-reach off, the pseudo-continuous effect may be executed three times to make the fluctuation pattern that is out of super reach.

As described above, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state is the probabilistic state (high probability state), more judgment values are set than when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). It is assigned to the special figure display result of "big hit". As a result, in the probabilistic state (high probability state) in which the probability change control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is controlled as a "big hit" in the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state). Probability to be determined (in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, 1/300 when the set value is 1, 1/280 when the set value is 2, 1/260 when the set value is 3, and the setting). Compared to 1/240 when the value is 4, 1/220 when the set value is 5, and 1/200 when the set value is 6, the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state.

That is, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probabilistic state (high probability state), the probability that it is determined to control to the jackpot gaming state as compared with the normal state or the time saving state. Is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state so that the determination value becomes high.

In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-7, 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 (for example, setting).

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 set to be constant (for example, 5 times). May be good.

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 FIG. 8-7 (A), 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 gaming 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.

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 FIG. 8-7 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 103SG004A or the second special symbol display device 103SG004B 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 103SG004A or the second special symbol display device 103SG004B. It also means deciding whether or not to make the symbol a small hit symbol.

In the present embodiment, a total of 6 setting values, 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, and the pachinko gaming machine is not limited to this. The set value that can be set to 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more.

8-8 (A) and 8-8 (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. 8-8 (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. 8-8 (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.

Here, the jackpot type in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-9. In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, as the jackpot type, the jackpot A (also referred to as non-probability variable jackpot) in which only the time saving control is executed after the end of the jackpot game state and the game shifts to the low probability high base state, and the jackpot game After the end, the high-accuracy control and the time-saving control are executed, and the jackpot B and the jackpot C (also referred to as the probabilistic jackpot) for shifting to the high-accuracy high-base state are set.

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 jackpot game state by "B" is a normal open jackpot 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 advantageous to 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 unit 103SG 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.

In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, a mode in which three types of jackpot A to jackpot C are provided as jackpot types is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot type is 2. There may be less than one type, or four or more types.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (A), in the jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol), when the set value is "1", the MR2 determination value ranges from 0 to 299. , 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, 100 to 249 are assigned to the jackpot B, and 250 to 299 are assigned to the jackpot C. When the set value is "2", out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, and 100 to 229 are assigned to the jackpot B. , 200-299 are assigned to jackpot C. When the set value is "3", out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, and 100 to 209 are assigned to the jackpot B. , 150-299 are assigned to jackpot C. When the set value is "4", out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, and 100 to 189 are assigned to the jackpot B. , 190-299 are assigned to jackpot C. When the set value is "5", out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, and 100 to 169 are assigned to the jackpot B. , 170-299 are assigned to jackpot C. When the set value is "6", out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, and 100 to 149 are assigned to the jackpot B. , 150-299 are assigned to jackpot C.

In this way, when a big hit occurs in the special figure game of the first special symbol, the ratio of determining the big hit A in which only the time saving control is executed after the big hit game ends is the same, while the time saving control after the big hit game ends. Of the jackpot B and jackpot C for which both the probability variation control and the probability variation control are executed, the ratio of determining the jackpot C decreases in the order of the set values 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. That is, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, the ball ejection rate is highest when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, and the set values are 5, 4, 3, 2, and so on. The smaller the number in the order of 1, the lower the ball output rate.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-8 (B), in the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol), when the set value is "1", the range of the determination value of MR2 is 0 to 299. Of these, 0 to 99 are assigned to jackpot A, 100 to 199 are assigned to jackpot B, and 200 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C. When the set value is "2", out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, and 100 to 179 are assigned to the jackpot B. , 180-299 are assigned to jackpot C. When the set value is "3", out of the range 0 to 299 of the judgment value of MR2, 0 to 99 are assigned to the jackpot A, and 100 to 159 are assigned to the jackpot B. , 160-299 are assigned to jackpot C.

In this way, when a big hit occurs in the special figure game of the second special symbol, the ratio of determining the big hit A in which only the time saving control is executed after the big hit game ends is the same, while the time saving control after the big hit game ends. Of the jackpot B and jackpot C for which both the probability variation control and the probability variation control are executed, the ratio of determining the jackpot C decreases in the order of the set values 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. That is, when the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, the ball ejection rate is highest when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, and the set values are 5, 4, 3, 2, and so on. The smaller the number in the order of 1, the lower the ball output rate.

In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, when the variable special figure is the second special figure and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, the big hit type is determined to be big hit B. In other words, if the determination ratio of the jackpot type differs depending on the set value, it means that one of the jackpot types is not determined (the determination ratio is 0%). Although it is included, even when the variable special figure is the second special figure and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, a case may be provided in which the big hit type is determined to be the big hit B. ..

As described above, in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, the determination ratio of the jackpot type when the variable display result becomes a jackpot differs according to the set value, so that the game entertainment can be improved. It has become.

In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, the jackpot type is determined by using MR2 which is a random value for determining the jackpot type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot type is not limited to this. It may be determined using MR1 which is a random value for determining the special figure display result.

Further, in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, the larger the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more advantageous it is for the player (the jackpot probability increases and the jackpot C as the jackpot type is more likely to be determined). The present invention is not limited to this, and the smaller the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the more advantageous the player may be.

Further, the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the jackpot probability changes according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the game playability itself does not change. The game is not limited to this, and the playability may be changed according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

For example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/320 and the probability change state is 65%, which is the game property (so-called probability change loop type). When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 2, the jackpot probability in the normal state is 1/200, and the gaming ball is a predetermined switch provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 during the jackpot game. While controlling the game state after the end of the big hit game to a probabilistic state based on passing through, the game property (so-called V) in which the ratio of the game ball passing through the predetermined switch during the big hit game is different according to the fluctuation special map. Probability variation type), and when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3, the jackpot probability is 1/320 and the small hit probability is 1/50, and the game is played during high base (during time reduction control). It may be a game property (so-called 1 type 2 type mixed type) in which the ball is controlled to a big hit gaming state based on passing through a predetermined switch provided in the special variable winning ball device 7. Further, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3, the game playability is the same, but the jackpot probability and the jackpot probability are higher than when these set values are any of 1 to 3. A setting may be provided in which the number of prize balls that can be obtained during the big hit game is small while the small hit probability is high (for example, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6). ..

Further, in this way, when the playability is changed according to the set value, a common switch may be used for different purposes. Specifically, in the above example, when the set value is 1 to 3, the predetermined switch provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 is switched to the effect switch (every time the game ball passes through the predetermined area). It is used as a switch for executing a predetermined effect, and when the set value is 4 to 6, the predetermined switch is used as a game switch (a game state is changed based on the game ball passing through the predetermined switch). It may be used as a switch for controlling the jackpot game state).

Further, the ROM 101 also stores a variation pattern determination table for determining the variation pattern based on the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, and the variation pattern can be selected from among the plurality of types described above according to the predetermined determination result. Determine to one of the fluctuation patterns of.

As described above, when the deviation pattern determination tables A to D are used, the ratio of determining the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the normal reach fluctuation pattern is higher than the ratio of determining the super reach fluctuation pattern, and the ratio of determining the normal reach fluctuation pattern is determined. Is set to decrease in the order of the set values 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. When the deviation pattern determination tables A to D are used, 701 to 900 of the determination values are the deviation patterns of the super reach α, and 901 to 997 are the deviations of the super reach β, regardless of the variation pattern determination table. If the variable display results are assigned to each variation pattern, that is, if the variable display result is out of alignment, the super reach variation pattern is determined at a common decision rate regardless of the set value, so the super reach variation pattern is determined. It is possible to prevent the effect from being deteriorated due to the fact that the variable display is not executed.

In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α deviation and the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β deviation are completely the same between the set values as the variation pattern for the deviation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α deviation and the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β deviation are between each set value. May differ by a small margin (for example, about 1%).

In addition, in the feature unit 103SG 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 regardless of the set value is illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, and when the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination ratio of all the fluctuation patterns of non-reach, normal reach, and super reach is the same regardless of the set value set. It may be present, or only the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of either non-reach or normal reach may be the same.

Further, in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination rate of the fluctuation pattern of the outlier of Super Reach α and the fluctuation pattern of the outlier of Super Reach β are determined regardless of the set value. Although the embodiment in which both of the determination ratios are the same regardless of the set value is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the variable display result is out of order, the super reach α is illustrated. The determination ratio of only one of the deviation pattern determination ratio and the super reach β deviation fluctuation pattern may be the same regardless of the set value.

Further, in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the determination rate of the fluctuation pattern of the outlier of Super Reach α and the fluctuation pattern of the outlier of Super Reach β are determined regardless of the set value. Although the embodiment in which both of the determination ratios are the same regardless of the set value is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and is set even when the variable display result is a big hit. Regardless of the set value, the determination rate of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach jackpot may be the same regardless of the set value.

In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is out of alignment, a mode in which the determination ratio of the non-reach or normal reach fluctuation pattern differs depending on the set value is illustrated. , Depending on the set value, there may be one or a plurality of undetermined fluctuation patterns among the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the normal reach fluctuation pattern. In other words, if the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern differs depending on the set value, one of the fluctuation patterns should not be determined (the determination ratio is 0%), or a specific fluctuation pattern is 100%. It is also included to determine by the ratio of.

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 a start when the player is in the game, it becomes difficult for a useless start-up prize that is not stored on hold to occur. 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 103SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-11 (A) to 8-11 (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, in each of the deviation pattern determination tables of the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, even if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 6, the fluctuation of the super reach deviation The range of random numbers assigned to the patterns (PA2-2 and PA2-3) is the same. However, since the jackpot probability and the loss probability differ depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the rate at which the variable display is actually executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach loss (super reach loss). The appearance rate of the fluctuation pattern) differs depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. It should be noted that the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the rate at which the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach deviation is different according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The present invention is not limited to this, and in consideration of the jackpot probability and the loss probability for each set value, the variable display is out of super reach at the same rate regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. It may be executed according to the fluctuation pattern of.

Further, in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 and 8-11, the variation pattern is determined at a different ratio for each set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the fluctuation pattern may be determined at the same ratio regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Further, the feature unit 103SG 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. Further, the data corresponding to the control state and the data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as the data indicating the progress state of the game.

Next, the display of the display monitor 103SG029 in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 8-12 (A), the display monitor 103SG029 includes a first display unit 103SG029A, a second display unit 103SG029B, a third display unit 103SG029C, and a fourth display unit 103SG029D. The first display unit 103SG029A to the fifth display unit 103SG29E are each composed of seven segments composed of seven segments drawing the character "8" and dots arranged on the lower right side of the seven segments. The first display unit 103SG029A to the fifth display unit 103SG29E can be lit and blinked in various colors such as red, blue, green, yellow, and white, respectively. It is also possible to display these colors in different colors or so-called rainbows while changing them in a very short cycle.

The display control of the display monitor 103SG029 in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment is executed by using the non-tested area in the entire area of the ROM 101 and the RAM 102 at the time of the test of the pachinko gaming machine 1. ..

As shown in FIGS. 8-12 (B) and 8-12 (C), the display monitor 103SG029 has a base value calculated in a normal state (low probability low base state) for each out 6000 ball in all game states. Base L (real-time value during measurement), base 1 which is a base value calculated in the normal state (low accuracy low base state) for each out 6000 balls in the first out 6000 ball in all game states, and base 1 in all game states. Base 2 which is the base value calculated in the normal state (low probability low base state) for each of the second out 6000 balls, and the normal state (low probability low base state) for each of the third out 6000 balls in the all-game state. It is possible to display the base 3 which is the base value calculated in. The base L, the base 1, the base 2, and the base 3 are displayed on the display monitor 103SG029 as a percentage.

When the base L is actually displayed on the display monitor 103SG029, "b" is displayed on the first display unit 103SG029A and "L." is displayed on the second display unit 103SG029B in order to display "bL.", Which is an abbreviation for the base L. Is displayed, and the upper two digits (values of "00" to "99") of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 103SG029C and the fourth display unit 103SG029D. When the base 1 is displayed on the display monitor 103SG029, "b" is displayed on the first display unit 103SG029A and "1." is displayed on the second display unit 103SG029B in order to display the abbreviation "b1." Is displayed, and the upper two digits (values of "00" to "99") of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 103SG029C and the fourth display unit 103SG029D. When the base 2 is displayed on the display monitor 103SG029, "b" is displayed on the first display unit 103SG029A and "2." is displayed on the second display unit 103SG029B in order to display the abbreviation "b2." Is displayed, and the upper two digits (values of "00" to "99") of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 103SG029C and the fourth display unit 103SG029D. When the base 3 is displayed on the display monitor 103SG029, "b" is displayed on the first display unit 103SG029A and "3." is displayed on the second display unit 103SG029B in order to display the abbreviation "b3." Is displayed, and the upper two digits (values of "00" to "99") of the calculated value are displayed on the third display unit 103SG029C and the fourth display unit 103SG029D.

In the display monitor 103SG029 of the present embodiment, the control of sequentially displaying the base L, the base 1, the base 2, and the base 3 is executed by the control of the main board 11 (CPU 103). For example, the main board 11 executes control to switch the display of the display monitor 103SG029 in the order of base L → base 1 → base 2 → base 3 at 5-second intervals. The display color of each base value on the display monitor 103SG029 is different depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Specifically, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is "1", each base value on the display monitor 103SG029 is displayed in white, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set. When it is "2", each base value on the display monitor 103SG029 is displayed in blue, and when the set value set on the pachinko gaming machine 1 is "3", each base value on the display monitor 103SG029 is displayed in yellow. When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is "4", each base value on the display monitor 103SG029 is displayed in green, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is "4". If it is "5", each base value on the display monitor 103SG029 is displayed in red, and if the set value set on the pachinko gaming machine 1 is "6", each base value on the display monitor 103SG029 is displayed in purple. indicate. Therefore, the clerk of the game hall can specify the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 only by checking the display color of the display monitor 103SG029 without executing the setting value change process described later by the CPU 103. ing.

Next, the game control main process in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-13 is a flowchart showing a game control main process executed by the CPU 103. In the game control main process, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (103SGSa001). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are made (103SGSa002). 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, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (107SGSa003) and whether or not the RAM 102 (backup RAM) is normal (107SGSa004). If the backup data is not stored (103SGSa003; N) or the RAM 102 is not normal (103SGSa004; N), the process proceeds to 103SGSa017, and if the backup data is stored and the RAM 102 is normal (103SGSa003; Y, 103SGSa004; Y) further determines whether the set value stored in the RAM 102 is any of 1 to 6, that is, whether the set value of a normal value is stored in the RAM 102 (103SGSa005).

If the set value stored in the RAM 102 is not any of 1 to 6 (103SGSa005; N), the process proceeds to 103SGSa017, and if the set value stored in the RAM 102 is any of 1 to 6 (103SGSa005; Y) indicates whether or not the setting value changing flag indicating that the setting value change processing described later was being executed before the power failure (the power failure occurred during the execution of the setting value change processing) is set. (103SGSa006). If the setting value changing flag is set (103SGSa006; Y), the process proceeds to 103SGSa017, and if the setting value changing flag is not set, the RAM clear flag indicating that the RAM clear processing described later has been executed is set. If it is set, the RAM clear flag is cleared (103SGSa007), and it is determined whether or not the clear switch is ON, that is, whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated while the clear switch is being operated. (103SGSa008).

When the clear switch is ON (103SGSa008; Y), the RAM clear flag is set to proceed to 103SGSa011 (103SGSa010), and when the clear switch is OFF (103SGSa008; N), 103SGSa010 is not executed and 103SGSa011 is set. move on.

In 103SGSa011, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the lock switch 103SG051 is ON (103SGSa011). When the lock switch 103SG051 is ON (103SGSa011; Y), it is further determined whether or not the release sensor 103SG090 is ON (103SGSa012). When the release sensor 103SG090 is ON, that is, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started with the lock switch 103SG051 ON and the gaming machine frame 103SG003 open (103SGSa012; Y), the RAM clear flag is set. It is determined whether or not it is (103SGSa013a).

When the RAM clear flag is set (103SGSa013a; Y), the set value change process (103SGsa013b) for changing the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed to proceed to 103SGSa013d, and the RAM clear flag is set. If is not set (103SGSa013a; N), the set value confirmation process (103SGSa013c) for confirming the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed, and the process proceeds to 103SGSa013d.

In the set value change process (103SGSa013b), the CPU 103 first displays the set value currently set on the display monitor 103SG029. Next, every time the setting changeover switch 103SG052 is operated, the setting value is updated and displayed on the display monitor 103SG029. Then, the setting value displayed on the display monitor 103SG029 is updated and stored in the RAM 102 based on the fact that the lock switch 103SG051 is turned off, and the setting value newly updated and stored in the RAM 102 can be specified. The command is output to the effect control CPU 120.

Further, in the set value confirmation process (103SGSa013c), the CPU 103 displays the set value currently set on the display monitor 103SG029. Then, the display of the set value on the display monitor 103SG029 may be terminated based on the fact that the lock switch 103SG051 is turned off.

When the lock switch 103SG051 is OFF (103SGSa011; N) or the release sensor is OFF (103SGSa012; N) in 103SGSa011, the process proceeds to 103SGSa013d without executing the processes of 103SGSa013a to 103SGSa013c.

In 103SGSa013d, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the RAM clear flag is set, that is, whether or not the RAM 102 is cleared (whether or not the RAM clear process (103SGSa009) is executed) when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started this time (the RAM clear process (103SGSa009) is executed). 103SGSa013d). When the RAM clear flag is set (103SGSa013d; Y), the RAM clear process (103SGSa013e) is executed and then the process proceeds to 103SGsa014. When the RAM clear flag is not set (103SGsa013d; N), the RAM clear process (103SGSa013e) is performed. Proceed to 103SGsa014 without executing.

In the RAM clear process (103SGSa013e), the CPU 103 executes a process of setting "00H" to all addresses except the address where the set value is stored and the address where the RAM clear flag is stored (set). .. That is, in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, as shown in 103SGSa001 to 103SGSa013e and 103SGSa017 to 103SGSa021 described later, if there is no abnormality in the RAM 102, the address in which the set value is stored and the RAM clear flag are stored. It is designed to clear the contents of all addresses except the dress you are wearing.

In 103SGSa014, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the RAM clear flag is set again (103SGSa014). When the RAM clear flag is set (103SGSa014; Y), the process proceeds to 103SGSa022, and when the RAM clear flag is not set (103SGSa014; N), the internal state of the main board 11 is stopped (power cut). Performs recovery processing to return to the state of (103SGsa015).

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, assuming that the pachinko gaming machine 1 has recovered (started by hot start) in the state before the power failure, the CPU 103 transmits a recovery command including a hot start notification command to the effect control board 12, and proceeds to 103SGSa028. (103SGSa016).

Further, in 103SGSa017, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the clear switch is ON, that is, whether or not the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated while the clear switch is being operated (103SGSa017). When the clear switch is ON (103SGSa017; Y), it is further determined whether or not the lock switch 103SG051 is ON (103SGSa018) and whether or not the release sensor 103SG090 is ON (103SGSa019).

When the lock switch 103SG051 is ON (103SGSa018; Y) and the release sensor 103SG090 is ON, that is, there is no backup data in the RAM 102, the RAM 102 is not normal, or a normal setting value is not set. However, when the pachinko game machine 1 is started by a formal procedure by the operation of an employee of the game hall (the game machine frame 103SG003 is opened and the lock switch 103SG051 is turned on, the pachinko game is operated while operating the clear switch. When the machine 1 is started), the set value stored in the RAM 102 is cleared (103SGSa020), and if the set value changing flag is set, the set value changing flag is cleared (103SGSa021). Then, the above-mentioned processes of 103SGSa009 to 103SGSa016 are executed.

When the clear switch is OFF (103SGSa017; N), the lock switch 103SG051 is OFF (103SGSa018; N), and the release sensor 103SG090 is OFF (103SGSa019; N), the process proceeds to 103SGSa031.

Further, in 2078SGSa022, the CPU 103 transmits a recovery command including a cold start notification command to the effect control board 12 on the assumption that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started by a cold start (103SGSa022). Then, a cold start notification timer is set according to the period for notifying the cold start of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (103SGsa023), and the cold start notification is started by starting blinking of all the segments constituting the display monitor 103SG029. (103SGSa024).

After executing 103SGSa024, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the cold start notification timer by -1 (103SGSa025), and determines whether or not the cold start notification timer has timed out (103SGSa026). When the cold start notification timer is not timer-out (103SGSa026; N), the processes of 103SGsa025 and 103SGsa026 are repeatedly executed, and when the cold start notification timer is timer-out (103SGsa026; Y), all segments in the display monitor 103SG029. Ends blinking (103SGSa027) and proceeds to 103SGSa028.

In the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, an example is exemplified in which all the segments constituting the display monitor 103SG029 are blinked over the period of the cold start notification timer (for example, 5 seconds) at the time of calling and starting the pachinko gaming machine 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only a part of all the segments constituting the display monitor 103SG029 may be blinked at the time of calling and starting the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, at least a part of all the segments constituting the display monitor 103SG029 may be turned on.

Then, in 103SGSa028, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process (103SGSa028) for initializing the random number circuit 104, and interrupts the game control microcomputer 100 periodically at predetermined time (for example, 2 ms). Set the built-in CTC register (103SGSa029) and allow interrupts (103SGSa030). 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.

Further, in 103SGSa031, the CPU 103 refers to the effect control board 12 based on the fact that an abnormal setting value is stored in the RAM 102 (setting value abnormality error) and that the power is restored from the power failure during the setting change described later. And sends an error specification command according to the abnormality of the set value (103SGSa031). Further, an error notification execution wait timer is set (103SGSa032). Then, the CPU 103 decrements the value of the error notification execution waiting timer by -1 (103SGSa033), and determines whether or not the error notification execution waiting timer has timed out (103SGSa034). When the error notification execution waiting timer is not timer-out (103SGSa034; N), the processes of 103SGsa033 and 103SGSa034 are repeatedly executed, and when the error notification execution waiting timer is timer-out (103SGSa034; Y), a setting value error error occurs. 1st display unit 103SG029A, 2nd display unit 103SG029B, 3rd display unit 103SG029C, 4th display unit 103SG029D "E." is displayed in each of the above (103SGSa035).

Further, the CPU 103 blinks all the LEDs constituting the first special symbol display device 103SG004A and the second special symbol display device 103SG004B (103SGsa036), and also plays a game via a terminal board (not shown) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1. A security signal is output to a management device such as a field management computer, and the process proceeds to 103SGSa032 (103SGSa037). After that, the CPU 103 repeatedly executes the processes of 103SGsa032 to 103SGSa037 until the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off (until the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off by the operation of a clerk at the game hall), thereby displaying the display monitor 103SG029. , The first special symbol display device 103SG004A and the second special symbol display device 103SG004B execute notification of the occurrence of an error.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment has the display monitor 103SG029, the first Since the special symbol display device 103SG004A and the second special symbol display device 103SG004B are used to notify the occurrence of an error, the clerk of the amusement park or the like can generate an error or set a value from both the front side and the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. It is possible to recognize that the power failure during the change has been restored. In addition, the occurrence of an error in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the recovery from the power failure during the change of the set value can be recognized by the management device of the game hall, so that the security of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be improved. It has become.

In the game control main process of the feature unit 103SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-13, when it is determined that the clear switch is ON in 103SGSa008 (103SGSa008; Y) or the set value is being changed in 103SGSa021. Although the embodiment in which the RAM clear process (103SGSa009) is executed after clearing the flag is exemplified, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and the RAM clear process is not limited thereto. Is not when it is determined in 103SGSa008 that the clear switch is ON (103SGSa008; Y) or after clearing the setting value changing flag in 103SGSa021 but when it is determined that the RAM clear flag is set in 103SGSa014 (103SGSa014). It may be executed in Y).

8-14 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable start command reception flag is set (103SGS271). When the first variable start command reception flag is set (103SGS271; Y), it corresponds to the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure hold storage in the start winning command buffer 103SG194A. The various command data and various flags that are attached and stored are shifted upward by one buffer number (103SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-1" of the first special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-2" of the first special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-1". 1 Special figure The first special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "1-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-3".

If the first fluctuation start command reception flag is not set in 103SGS271 (103SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second fluctuation start command reception flag is set (103SGS273). If the second variation start command reception flag is not set (103SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and if the second variation start command reception flag is set (103SGS273; Y), the start is started. 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 command buffer received at the time of winning (not shown), one buffer number. It shifts upward by the minute (103SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because they cannot be shifted because there is no shift destination.

Specifically, the shift is made so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-1" of the second special figure hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-0". Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-2" of the second special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-1". 2 Special figure The second special figure is shifted so that various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-3" of the hold storage are stored in association with the buffer number "2-2". The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "2-4" of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "2-3".

After executing the 103SGS272 or 103SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern specification command storage area (103SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) (103SGS276). 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.

In the feature unit 103SG, when the received variable display result specification command is the second variable display result specification command corresponding to the non-probability change jackpot A, the effect control CPU 120 has, for example, an even number of three symbols as stop symbols. Determine the combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbols) that are aligned with the symbols. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the third variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B, a plurality of combinations of odd-numbered symbols other than "7" (for example, "111") are used as stop symbols. It is determined from the combination of decorative patterns such as "333", "555", and "999"). In addition, when the received variable display result specification command is the 4th variable display result specification command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot C, a combination of decorative symbols (big hit symbol) in which 3 symbols are aligned with "7" is used as the stop symbol. decide. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fifth variable display result specification command corresponding to the probabilistic big hit C, the stop symbols are "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the small hit. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the fifth variable display result specification command corresponding to a small hit, the stop symbols are "334" and "778", which are the same chances as the probability change big hit C. Decide from the inside. Further, when the received variable display result specification command is the first variable display result specification command corresponding to the loss, it is a decorative symbol in which the three symbols are not uniform as the stop symbol, and a combination other than the above-mentioned chance eyes. Determine (missing symbol).

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.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect determination process shown in FIGS. 8-15 to determine whether or not to execute the variable display effect in the variable display (103SGS277).

(Variable display)
The variable display effect has an advantageous state suggestion result that suggests that the effect is controlled to the jackpot game state, and a setting suggestion result that suggests the setting of the set value performed by the CPU 103 in the set value change process. It is a production (predetermined production) that can be any of the above. In the feature unit 103SG, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a reach notice (notice effect) suggesting that the variable display mode may be a reach and a big hit as an effect in which the effect result is an advantageous state suggestion result. be. Further, as an effect in which the effect result is the setting suggestion result, it is possible to execute the setting suggestion suggesting which of the set values 1 to 6 the set value is. Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes a variable display during effect in which both the reach notice and the setting suggestion can be executed when the effect result can be both an advantageous state suggestion result and a setting suggestion result. When it is possible, the reach notice in which the effect result is the advantageous state suggestion result can be executed in preference to the setting suggestion in which the effect result is the setting suggestion result.

As shown in FIGS. 8-16, the effect during variable display has a plurality of types of effect patterns (effect modes) of patterns PT-1 to PT-9, and the effect control CPU 120 has the effect during variable display. When the execution is decided, which of the patterns PT-1 to PT-9 is used to execute the variable display effect, that is, which of the patterns PT-1 to PT-9 is used. It is decided by lottery whether to execute the effect during variable display based on.

As shown in FIGS. 8-18 (A) to (C), the variable display effect starts at the timing when a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the variable display of the symbol (the timing before the variable display mode reaches the reach). Then, a plurality of (for example, eight) images Z1 showing the paraglider on which the passenger rides fade in from the left side of the display area of the image display device 5 and move toward the right side of the display area. By fading out to the right side of the display area, the variable display effect ends. Further, an image Z2 indicating that a predetermined number of gliders are destroyed and dropped while a plurality of images Z1 are moving toward the right side may be displayed, and a set value is set depending on the number of the dropped paragliders. Or reach is suggested.

Specifically, in the case of pattern PT-1, one body is destroyed and falls, in the case of pattern PT-2, two bodies are destroyed and fall, and in the case of pattern PT-3, three bodies are destroyed and fall. In the case of pattern PT-4, 4 bodies are destroyed and fall, in the case of pattern PT-5, 5 bodies are destroyed and fall, and in the case of pattern PT-6, 6 bodies are destroyed and fall. In the case of pattern PT-7, 7 bodies are destroyed and fall, and in the case of pattern PT-8 and pattern PT-9, 8 bodies are destroyed and fall.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-18 (B) and 8-19 (A), in the patterns PT-1 to PT-8, the timing at which the paraglider is destroyed is the same, and the patterns PT-1 to PT-1 to 8-19 are all destroyed. The number of paragliders corresponding to PT-8 is destroyed all at once (or a predetermined number may be used). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-19 (B), the pattern PT-9 is a pattern in which a total of eight paragliders fall like the pattern PT-8, but the mode in which the paragliders are destroyed is the pattern PT-. It is different from 8. Specifically, seven paragliders are destroyed at the same timing as pattern PT-7, but the remaining one is destroyed at the second timing after the first timing when the other seven are destroyed. ..

Which of the patterns PT-1 to PT-9 is used to execute the effect period of such a variable display effect, that is, the reach notice or the effect result in which the effect result is an advantageous state suggestion result is the setting suggestion result. Regardless of which of the setting suggestions is, the effect of the common mode (for example, the effect of the aspect in which the image Z1 fades in from the left side of the display area of the image display device 5 and moves toward the right side of the display area). A non-common mode of effect (for example, the number of images Z2 corresponding to the effect pattern is an image display device) that can specify whether the effect result is an advantageous state suggestion result or a setting suggestion result. It is composed of a non-common effect period in which the effect) of moving downward in the display area of 5 is executed.

In the background where the images Z1 and Z2 are displayed as the effect during the variable display, the decorative symbols are variably displayed in the decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, but the decorative symbols are displayed in a smaller size than usual. The small symbol may be variably displayed at a predetermined place. Further, during the execution period of the variable display effect, another advance notice effect different from the variable display effect may be executed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-16, among the patterns PT-1 to PT-9, the set value is 1 for the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 in which the number of paragliders destroyed is 1 to 7. Regarding the patterns PT-8 and PT-9, which are set as a specific pattern (specific mode) corresponding to the setting suggestion suggesting which of the 6 to 6 is set, and the number of paragliders destroyed is eight. It is said to be a special pattern (special mode) corresponding to the reach notice suggesting the possibility of reaching. In other words, the effect during variable display has the same effect mode in the common effect period, but the suggested target differs depending on the difference in the effect mode (number of paragliders destroyed) in the non-common effect period, and there are 1 to 7 paragliders. If it is destroyed, it will be a setting suggestion, and if 8 bodies are destroyed, it will be a reach notice.

Specifically, the patterns PT-1 and PT-3 suggest that the set values may be odd (for example, 1, 3, 5), and the patterns PT-2 and PT-4 have even set values. (For example, 2, 4, 6), the pattern PT-5 suggests that the set value may be equal to or higher than the intermediate setting (for example, 3 or 5), and the pattern PT-5. 6 suggests that the set value may be greater than or equal to the even-numbered intermediate setting (eg, 4 or 6), and pattern PT-7 suggests that the set value may be the highest setting (eg, 6). ..

The patterns PT-1 to PT-4 are determined at a high rate when the set value is any of 1 to 4 (low setting), and therefore, any of the set values 5 and 6 (high setting). It is regarded as the first specific pattern {setting suggestion (low), first specific mode} with low expectation that it is, and for patterns PT-5 to PT-6, the set value is any of 5 and 6. In some cases, it is determined at a high rate, so that it is a second specific pattern {setting suggestion (high), second specific mode} with a high degree of expectation that the set values are 5 and 6.

In the feature unit 103SG, the set values 1 to 4 are set as low settings and the set values 5 and 6 are set as high settings, but the set values 1 to 3 may be set as low settings and the set values 4 to 6 may be set as high settings. Then, the setting values 1 and 2 may be set to a low setting, the setting values 3 and 4 may be set to an intermediate setting, and the setting values 5 and 6 may be set to a high setting to set the execution ratio of the effect pattern.

On the other hand, the pattern PT-8 suggests that the variable display of the symbol may be more than reach (for example, normal reach or super reach), and the pattern PT-9 suggests that the variable display of the symbol may be super reach. Suggest.

Regarding the pattern PT-8, the first special pattern {reach notice (low), first As for the pattern PT-9, the second special pattern {reach], which is highly expected to become super reach, is determined at a high rate when the variable display mode of the symbol becomes super reach. Notice (high), second special mode}.

As described above, the effect control CPU 120 has a special mode (for example, patterns PT-8 and PT-9) that suggests that the jackpot gaming state is controlled, and a specific mode (for example, pattern PT-) that suggests the setting. It is possible to execute a variable display effect based on any one of a plurality of types of effect modes including 1 to PT-7), and a reach notice (predetermined effect of a special mode) based on pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9. When any of the setting suggestion (predetermined effect of a specific embodiment) based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 can be executed, the reach notice can be executed in preference to the setting suggestion.

In the first embodiment, the pattern PT-8 and the pattern PT-9 are determined when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach regardless of whether or not the variable display result is a big hit. Since the fluctuation pattern is determined at a higher rate when the variable display result is out of order than when it is a big hit, the pattern PT-8 becomes a super reach, that is, the big hit expectation is a pattern. While the pattern is lower than PT-9, the pattern PT-9 is determined because the super reach fluctuation pattern is determined at a higher rate when the variable display result is a big hit than when it is out of order. , Super reach, that is, a pattern with a higher expectation of big hits than pattern PT-8.

Further, in the first embodiment, in the variable display effect, a mode suggesting the possibility of a big hit or which set value is set depending on the number of paragliders destroyed has been illustrated, but the present invention illustrates this. It is not limited, and the appearance of a predetermined number (for example, 8) or more paragliders without destroying the paragliders may suggest a big hit or a high setting. Further, if it is possible to suggest the possibility of a big hit and the setting value, the effect mode can be changed in various ways, for example, the number of characters appearing, the type of character appearing, and the like. It may be something that can suggest a big hit or a set value.

In addition, in the setting suggestion (high) based on any of patterns PT-5 to PT-7 and the reach notice (high) based on pattern PT-9, the last paraglider among the numbers corresponding to each pattern is destroyed. By outputting a specific sound or emitting a game effect lamp 9 or the like when falling, it may be possible to notify that the pattern has a high expectation of a big hit or a high setting.

As shown in FIG. 8-15, in the effect determination process during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (103SGS291). The variable display result is a variable display result specification command for specifying the variable display result (missing, non-probable variable jackpot A, probabilistic jackpot B, probabilistic jackpot C, small hit) transmitted from the main board 11 at the start of variable display. Variable display result specification command for storing the variable display result specification command stored in the storage area. Further, as described above, the fluctuation pattern can be specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command stored in the fluctuation pattern designation command storage area.

Then, a random number for determining the reach notice type is extracted, and the effect (reach notice) type determination table A shown in FIG. 8-17 (A) is used to determine whether or not the reach notice is executed in the variable display effect. A lottery is conducted to determine the type of reach notice in the case of (103SGS292).

In the effect (reach notice) type determination table A shown in FIG. 8-17 (A), when the fluctuation pattern is super reach, 20 determination values are assigned to non-execution, and 20 is assigned to the pattern PT-8. A number of determination values are assigned, and 60 determination values are assigned to the pattern PT-9. That is, when the fluctuation pattern is super reach, the PT-9 is won at a higher rate than when the fluctuation pattern is other than super reach.

When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, 20 judgment values are assigned to non-execution, 60 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-8, and 20 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-9. There is. That is, when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, the PT-8 is won at a higher rate than when the fluctuation pattern is other than normal reach.

Further, when the fluctuation pattern is a non-reach or small hit fluctuation pattern, 100 determination values are assigned to non-execution, and the determination values are not assigned to the patterns PT-8 and PT-9. That is, if the fluctuation pattern is a non-reach or small hit fluctuation pattern, the reach notice is not won.

By setting the judgment value in this way, when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, it is easier to win the pattern PT-8 at a higher rate than when the fluctuation pattern is other than the normal reach fluctuation pattern, and when the fluctuation pattern is super reach, it is easy to win. Pattern PT-9 is easier to win at a higher rate than in cases other than the super reach fluctuation pattern.

Therefore, when the effect based on the pattern PT-8 appears, it is more likely to be a normal reach variation pattern than the super reach variation pattern, and when the effect based on the pattern PT-9 appears, it is super than the normal reach variation pattern. It is likely to be a reach fluctuation pattern. In other words, the pattern PT-8 is determined to be a reach fluctuation pattern, but there is a high possibility that it will be a normal reach, so it is considered as a reach notice (low) with a low jackpot expectation, and the pattern PT-9 is a super reach fluctuation pattern. Since there is a high possibility that it will be, it is considered to be a reach notice (high) pattern with a high expectation of big hits.

Returning to FIG. 8-15, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the pattern PT-9 {reach notice (high)} has been won as a result of performing the execution of the reach notice and the lottery of the type in the 103SGS292. (103SGS293). When it is determined that the pattern PT-9 has been won, the execution of the reach notice based on the pattern PT-9 is determined in preference to the setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 (103SGS294). Proceed to 103SGS304.

If it is determined in 103SGS292 that the pattern PT-9 has not been won, that is, if the reach notice is not executed or the pattern PT-8 is won, the reach notice is not executed or the pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low). } Is won, the set value stored in the RAM 102 is read out, and the current set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is specified (103SGS295). Next, a random number for determining the setting suggestion type is extracted, and the presence / absence of execution of the setting suggestion in the variable display effect using the effect (setting suggestion) type determination table B corresponding to the setting value specified by 103SGS295. A lottery is performed to determine the type of setting suggestion when the execution is performed (103SGS296).

In the effect (setting suggestion) type determination table B shown in FIG. 8-17 (B), when the set value is 1, 30 judgment values are assigned to non-execution, and 25 judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-1. Judgment values are assigned, pattern PT-2 is assigned 10 judgment values, pattern PT-3 is assigned 25 judgment values, pattern PT-4 is assigned 5 judgment values, and the pattern is assigned. Four determination values are assigned to PT-5, one determination value is assigned to pattern PT-6, and one determination value is not assigned to pattern PT-7. When the set value is 2, 30 judgment values are assigned to non-execution, 10 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-1, and 25 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-2. Five judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-3, 25 judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-4, one judgment value is assigned to the pattern PT-5, and four judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-6. A determination value is assigned, and one determination value is not assigned to the pattern PT-7. When the set value is 3, 30 judgment values are assigned to non-execution, 20 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-1, and 5 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-2. 20 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-3, 5 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-4, 15 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-5, and 5 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-6. A determination value is assigned, and one determination value is not assigned to the pattern PT-7. When the set value is 4, 30 judgment values are assigned to non-execution, 5 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-1, and 20 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-2. Five judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-3, 20 judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-4, five judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-5, and 15 judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-6. A determination value is assigned, and one determination value is not assigned to the pattern PT-7. When the set value is 5, 30 judgment values are assigned to non-execution, 5 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-1, and 10 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-2. Five judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-3, ten judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-4, 25 judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-5, and 15 judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-6. A determination value is assigned, and one determination value is not assigned to the pattern PT-7. When the set value is 6, 30 judgment values are assigned to non-execution, 10 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-1, and 5 judgment values are assigned to pattern PT-2. Pattern PT-3 is assigned 10 judgment values, pattern PT-4 is assigned 5 judgment values, pattern PT-5 is assigned 10 judgment values, and pattern PT-6 is assigned 25 judgment values. Judgment values are assigned, and five judgment values are assigned to the pattern PT-7.

By setting the judgment value in this way, when the set value is 1 or 3, which is an odd number, the patterns PT-1 and PT-3 are won at a higher rate than when the set value is other than 1 or 3. When 2 or 4 is an even number, it is easy to win patterns PT-2 and PT-4 at a higher rate than when the set value is other than 2 or 4, and the set value is 5. Is easier to win the pattern PT-5 at a higher rate than when the set value is other than 5, and when the set value is 6, the pattern PT-6 is won at a higher rate than when the set value is other than 6. It's easier to do. Further, since the pattern PT-7 may be won only when the set value is 6, it is confirmed that the set value is 6 when a setting suggestion based on the pattern PT-7 appears.

Therefore, if an effect based on patterns PT-1 to PT-4 in which the number of paragliders destroyed is 4 or less is likely to appear, it is highly possible that the set value is one of 1 to 4, and the paraglider is destroyed. When the effect based on the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 having 5 or more bodies is likely to appear, it is highly possible that the set value is any of 5 and 6. That is, the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 are considered to be setting suggestions (low) that are unlikely to be set high (set value 5 or 6), and the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 are set high (set value 5 or 6). It is said that the setting suggestion (high) is likely to be 6).

In the first embodiment, the reach advance notice type determination random number and the setting suggestion type determination random number are random numbers in the range of 1 to 100, and any value in the range of 1 to 100 is extracted. That is, the number of determination values of each determination random number is set to 100 in the range of 1 to 100, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the range of each determination random number and the like should be appropriately determined. Just do it. Further, each determination random number counter for generating each of these determination random numbers is set in the RAM 122, and each determination random number counter is updated for each timer interrupt in the random number update process.

Returning to FIG. 8-15, the effect control CPU 120 performs any of the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 {setting suggestion (high)} as a result of the presence / absence of execution of the setting suggestion and the lottery of the type in 103SGS296. It is determined whether or not the player has won (103SGS297). If it is determined that any of the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 has been won, and if the non-execution of the reach notice is won in 103SGS293, one of the winning patterns PT-5 to PT-7 is selected. When the execution of the setting suggestion (high) based on the setting is uniquely determined and the pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)} is won in 103SGS293, any one of the winning patterns PT-5 to PT-7 is won. The execution of the setting suggestion (high) based on the above is determined in preference to the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8 (103SGS298), and the process proceeds to 103SGS304.

In 103SGS297, if any of the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 {setting suggestion (high)} was not won, that is, if the setting suggestion was not executed or any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 was won. , 103SGS297 determines whether or not pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)} is won in 103SGS293 based on non-execution of setting suggestion or winning of any of patterns PT-1 to PT-4. (103SGS300).

If it is determined that the pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)} has been won in the 103SGS300, and if the non-execution of the setting suggestion is won in the 103SGS297, the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8 is executed. If any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} is won in 103SGS297, the reach notice (low) based on the winning pattern PT-8 is Execution is determined with priority over the setting suggestion (low) based on the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 (103SGS301), and the process proceeds to 103SGS304.

If it is determined in the 103SGS300 that the pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)} has not been won, it is determined whether or not any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} has been won. If the determination (103SGS302) is made and any one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 is won, the execution of the setting suggestion (low) based on the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 is determined, and the process proceeds to 103SGS304. Further, when none of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 is won, that is, when the non-execution of both the reach notice and the setting suggestion is won, the variable display is being performed without deciding the execution of the effect. The production determination process is completed.

In 103SGS304, the effect type (any of patterns PT-1 to PT-9) determined in any of 103SGS294, 103SGS298, 103SGS301, and 103SGS303 is stored in a predetermined area of RAM 122 (103SGS304), and the effect during variable display is executed. The variable display effect execution decision flag indicating that has been determined is set (103SGS305), and the variable display effect determination process is terminated.

Returning to FIG. 8-14, after the variable display effect determination process of 103SGS277, whether or not the effect control CPU 120 has set the variable display effect execution decision flag in 103SGS278, that is, the variable display effect determination of 103SGS277. It is determined whether or not the execution of the variable display effect of any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-9 is determined in the process.

If the variable display effect execution decision flag is set, the process proceeds to 103SGS279, the period until the variable display effect start is started (103SGS279) is set in the variable display effect start wait timer, and the variable display effect execution is executed. Clear the decision flag (103SGS280) and proceed to 103SGS281. On the other hand, if the effect execution determination flag during variable display is not set, the process proceeds to 103SGS281 without going through 103SGS279 and 103SGS280.

As for the period until the start of the variable display effect, in this feature unit 103SG, the timing at which the paraglider appears is set as the start timing of the variable display effect, and the process table of the variable display effect executed from the start of the variable display effect. Since it is specified based on the above and the variable display effect is started, the example in which the period until the start timing of the variable display effect is set in the variable display effect start waiting timer is illustrated. The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, an effect (not shown) showing a precursor is performed before the timing at which the variable display effect is started, and the timing at which the precursor is started is the variable display effect. When the start timing is set, a period shorter than the period until the variable display effect is started may be set in the variable display effect start wait timer.

In 103SGS281, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (103SGS282).

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). The device 5, various lamps as production parts, speakers 8L, 8R as production parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (103SGS283). 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 first 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 controls the variation pattern. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the specified command.

Then, a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variable pattern designation command is set in the variable display time timer (103SGS284). Further, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (103SGS285). 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 (variation) of the decorative pattern is realized. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect processing (S172) during variable display (103SGS286).

As described above, in the first embodiment, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display of the symbol based on the reach variation pattern, the predetermined variable display mode is determined after the variable display is started and before the variable display mode becomes the reach mode. At the effect timing, either reach notice or setting suggestion can be executed as the variable display effect, and when deciding whether or not to execute the variable display effect, the effect result becomes an advantageous state suggestion result. It is possible to execute (the effect of a special aspect) with priority over the setting suggestion (the effect of a specific aspect) in which the effect result is the setting suggestion result.

Specifically, as shown in the effect determination process during variable display of FIG. 8-15, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the reach notice is executed and the type lottery, and whether or not the setting suggestion is executed and the type lottery. Give priority to.

That is, in the reach notice lottery, when the fluctuation pattern is super reach, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the reach notice (high) based on the pattern PT-9 at a rate of 60% (103SGS294). The notice (high) will be executed at a higher rate (priority) than the setting suggestion. On the other hand, when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, the execution of the reach notice (high) based on the pattern PT-9 is determined only at a rate of 20%, but the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8 is determined at a rate of 60%. Even if the lottery for setting suggestion is executed in 103SGS296 based on the winning of the reach notice (low), the setting suggestion based on the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 in 103SGS297 (high). ) Is not won, the 103SGS301 will decide to execute the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8, so the reach notice will be executed at a higher rate (priority) than the setting suggestion. Become.

Further, the reach notice includes a reach notice (low) and a reach notice (high) suggesting that the rate of being controlled by a jackpot is higher than that of the reach notice (low). When both the reach notice (high) based on -9 and the setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 are feasible, the reach notice (high) based on the pattern PT-9 is set to the pattern PT-. It is executed with priority over the setting suggestion based on any of 1 to PT-7 (103SGS294). On the other hand, when both the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8 and the setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 are feasible, the pattern PT-5 to PT-7 is selected. It is possible to execute the setting suggestion (high) based on the setting suggestion (high) in preference to the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8 (103SGS298). By doing so, it is possible to prevent the entertainment of the effect during the variable display from being lowered due to the excessive priority given to the reach notice and the restriction of the execution of the setting suggestion.

Further, the setting suggestion includes a setting suggestion (low) and a setting suggestion (high) suggesting that the setting is more likely to be higher than the setting suggestion (low). When both the setting suggestion (high) based on any of -5 to PT-7 and the reach notice based on any of patterns PT-8 to PT-9 are feasible, the pattern PT-5 to PT-7 is used. The setting suggestion (high) based on is executed in preference to the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8 (103SGS298). On the other hand, when both the setting suggestion (low) based on any of patterns PT-1 to PT-4 and the reach notice based on any of patterns PT-8 to PT-9 are feasible, the pattern PT-8 is selected. Based reach notice (low) can be executed in preference to setting suggestion (low) based on any of patterns PT-1 to PT-4 (103SGS301). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the entertainment during the variable display from being lowered due to the excessive priority given to the setting suggestion and the restriction on the execution of the reach notice.

In this way, the effect control CPU 120 executes the reach notice with priority over the setting suggestion. For details, the reach notice (high) is executed with priority over the setting suggestion (high), the setting suggestion (high) is executed with priority over the reach notice (low), and the reach notice (low) is set and suggested ( Priority is given to execution over low). That is, the priority of execution of each effect pattern is set to have a relationship of "reach notice (high)> setting suggestion (high)> reach notice (low)> setting suggestion (low)".

In the feature unit 103SG, the execution ratio of the reach notice may be set to be higher than the execution ratio of the setting suggestion. That is, the variable display effect is an effect executed during the variable display period of the symbol, and the reach notice suggests that the variable display result may be a big hit, whereas the setting suggestion is at least. It suggests which setting value is not changed during the business period. Further, it is not preferable for the game field that the setting suggestion frequently occurs and the player can easily guess which set value is. Therefore, when the variable display effect is executed when the setting value is high and the super reach fluctuation pattern is used, it is preferable for the player to suggest any of them, but the setting value is also suggested at another timing. On the other hand, since the jackpot suggestion can be made only during the variable display, it is preferable for the player that the reach notice appears at a higher rate than the setting suggestion.

In addition, the variable display mode is an effect that is executed only during the variable display period of the pattern based on the super reach variation pattern or the normal reach variation pattern, which has a higher expectation of big hit than the non-reach variation pattern. In this case, the player's expectation for a big hit is higher than in the case of not reaching. Therefore, if the setting suggestion is executed with priority over the reach notice, especially in the case of the jackpot reach fluctuation pattern, the player's expectation for the jackpot is lowered and the production becomes inappropriate, so that the reach is inappropriate. By giving priority to the setting suggestion to be executed, it is possible to prevent the production from becoming inappropriate.

Further, in the first embodiment, if the reach notice is executed with priority over the setting suggestion as a tendency of the effect during variable display, for example, it is a non-reach or normal reach fluctuation pattern and is high. In some situations, such as when the setting is made, the execution ratio may be set so that the setting suggestion is executed in preference to the reach notice.

Further, in the first embodiment, the lottery for the reach notice and the lottery for the setting suggestion are executed separately, and the lottery for the reach notice is executed prior to the lottery for the setting suggestion (prior to). Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the execution rate of the reach notice is higher than the execution rate of the setting suggestion, the lottery of the setting suggestion may be performed before the lottery of the reach notice. , The order is arbitrary. Further, the number of judgment values in the effect type determination tables A and B is shown in FIGS. 8-17 (A) and 8-17 (B) if the execution ratio of the reach notice is set to be higher than the execution ratio of the setting suggestion. It is not limited to what is described.

In the first embodiment, as an effect type (effect pattern) of the effect during variable display, a mode in which a setting suggestion suggesting a set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be executed has been exemplified. Is not limited to this, and as a setting suggestion, it may be suggested whether or not the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 has changed since the last time the pachinko gaming machine 1 was started.

(First invention)
As described above, the present embodiment includes the first invention shown below. That is, conventionally, in a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, the variable display result can be a big hit by changing the set value, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-20092. There were some that could change the probability of becoming (the probability of being controlled to an advantageous state). In the gaming machine described in the above patent gazette, it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect that suggests a set value depending on the type of animal displayed. When either of the setting suggestion effects can be executed, no consideration is given to which effect is prioritized, and the setting suggestion effect to be set as the set value is executed when controlled in an advantageous state. Therefore, there was a problem that the production became inappropriate. Therefore, for the purpose of providing a gaming machine that can prevent the production from becoming inappropriate,
The gaming machine of means 1 of the first invention is
It can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and is set to one of a plurality of set values (for example, set values 1 to 6) having different advantages for the player. A possible gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1),
A predetermined effect executing means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 can perform a predetermined effect according to any one of a plurality of types of effect modes, as an effect during variable display, is one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7. It has a setting suggestion based on it, or a part where reach notice based on patterns PT-8 and PT-9 can be executed).
The effect mode of the predetermined effect is a special mode (for example, a reach notice based on the special pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9) that suggests that the predetermined effect is controlled, and a suggestion regarding the setting. Includes specific embodiments (eg, setting suggestions based on any of the specific patterns PT-1 to PT-7).
When both the predetermined effect of the special aspect and the predetermined effect of the specific aspect can be executed by the predetermined effect executing means (for example, the timing at which a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of the variable display of the symbol (variable display mode). (Timing before reaching)), the predetermined effect of the special aspect can be executed in preference to the predetermined effect of the specific aspect (for example, the effect control CPU 120 may be used in FIG. 8-FIG. 1 of the first embodiment). In the variable display effect determination process shown in 15, when the pattern PT-9 is won in the reach notice lottery, the execution of the reach notice (high) based on the pattern PT-9 is determined in 103SGS294 with priority over the setting suggestion. Even if the lottery of the setting suggestion is executed in the part or 103SGS296, if the setting suggestion (high) based on the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 is not won, the reach notice (low) based on the pattern PT-8 in 103SGS301 is not won. ) Is determined with priority over the setting suggestion (low) based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4./The effect control CPU 120 has reach notice (high)> setting suggestion (high). > Reach notice (low)> Setting suggestion (low) The part that determines the execution of the effect based on any of the patterns PT1 to PT-9 at a ratio (see Fig. 8-20 of variant 1))
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, when the control is performed in an advantageous state, it is possible to prevent the predetermined effect of a specific mode from being executed and the effect from becoming inappropriate.
Specifically, even when the variable display that makes the variable display result a big hit is executed, the setting suggestion that can be suggested at the timing other than the variable display is executed in preference to the reach notice. , It becomes impossible to raise the player's expectation for the big hit, and it is possible to prevent the production from becoming inappropriate.

The predetermined effect executing means can execute a predetermined effect based on the detection of the specific operation by the operation detecting means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 presses the push button 31B during the operation valid period of the push button 31B. When the specific operation to be operated is detected by the push sensor 35B, the image Z1 is displayed according to the operation of the push button 31B regardless of whether or not the operation promotion image prompting the player to operate the push button 31B is displayed. A part that can perform the effect of changing to image Z2 (destroying the paraglider and dropping it). Modification example)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, a player who knows a specific motion can execute a predetermined effect at a desired timing by performing the specific motion, so that the hobby of the game can be improved.

The gaming machine of the means 5 of the first invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 4.
The predetermined effect is a common effect period (for example, a reach notice or a setting suggestion) in which a common effect is executed regardless of whether the predetermined effect of the special aspect or the predetermined effect of the specific aspect is executed. Regardless of the presence or absence, the effect of the mode in which the image Z1 fades in from the left side of the display area of the image display device 5 and moves toward the right side of the display area is executed) and the predetermined aspect of the special aspect. A non-common effect period (for example, whether it is a reach notice or a setting suggestion) that can specify whether it is an effect or a predetermined effect of the specific aspect, that is, the number of images Z2 corresponding to the effect pattern Is a non-common effect period in which the effect of moving to the lower side of the display area of the image display device 5 is executed) (see FIGS. 8-18).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, by having a common effect period, it is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation as to whether the predetermined effect of the special mode or the predetermined effect of the specific mode is executed. You can improve your interest.

The gaming machine of the means 6 of the first invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 5.
The predetermined effect executing means can execute a predetermined effect of a special aspect which is a suggestion of being controlled to the advantageous state and also a suggestion of a setting (for example, both a reach notice and a setting suggestion can be executed). Occasionally, a specific image suggesting both a jackpot and the highest setting (setting value 6) (for example, an image in which a paraglider in which a character appears moves while displaying the image Z1 of the paraglider) is displayed. Part etc.)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, it is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation that a predetermined effect of a special mode different from the special mode or the specific mode is executed, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

In the first embodiment, when both the reach notice (predetermined effect of the special aspect) and the setting suggestion (predetermined effect of the specific aspect) can be executed, for example, the suggestion of the display result of one variable display. As long as the timing is such that the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be suggested, various timings may be used. Specifically, if the reach notice suggests the display result of the variable display, the reach notice can be executed at any timing during the execution period of the variable display, and the variable display corresponding to the hold storage can be executed. If it is suggested about the display result of, the reach notice can be executed at any timing in the period spanning a plurality of variable displays until the variable display corresponding to the hold storage is executed and the execution period of the variable display. .. Further, since the setting suggestion is not changed during the business period, the setting suggestion can be executed at any timing during one business period.

Further, when both the reach notice (predetermined effect of the special mode) and the setting suggestion (predetermined effect of the specific mode) can be executed, the reach notice can be executed with priority over the setting suggestion. Priority is given to the lottery of the setting suggestion, and the execution of the reach notice based on the patterns PT-8 and PT-9 is prior to the execution of the setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7. Includes determining, and performing reach notices based on patterns PT-8 and PT-9 at a higher rate than setting suggestions based on any of patterns PT-1 to PT-7. It should be noted that executing the reach notice at a higher rate than the setting suggestion includes the case where the reach notice is executed at a rate of 100% and the setting suggestion is not executed, that is, the execution rate of the reach notice is 100%.

Further, in the first embodiment, the possibility of a big hit or a set value is suggested by the number of destroyed paragliders, that is, the variable display effect is executed when both the reach notice and the setting suggestion are feasible. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is executed when both the reach notice and the setting suggestion are feasible. As the effect during variable display, both the advantageous state suggestion result and the setting suggestion result may be included as the effect result.

That is, in the first embodiment, the variable display effect has a common effect period for the reach notice and the setting suggestion, but the effect mode is different between the reach notice and the setting suggestion (in the common effect period). It may be a separate production (specifically, the reach notice is a suggestion using a character, the setting suggestion is a suggestion by a paraglider, etc.). Then, even when the reach notice and the setting suggestion having different production modes are executed together in the same period (same timing), the reach notice may be executed with priority over the setting suggestion.

(Modification 1)
Next, the modification 1 in the first embodiment of the feature unit 103SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-20. 8-20 is a flowchart showing the effect determination process during variable display as the first modification in FIG. 8-20, and FIG. 8B is a diagram showing the execution ratio of the reach notice and the setting suggestion.

In the first embodiment, the reach notice is executed with priority over the setting suggestion by prioritizing the execution of the reach notice and the lottery of the type over the execution of the setting suggestion and the lottery of the type. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a lottery for reach notice and setting suggestion may be performed using one effect type determination table C (not shown).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-20 (A), in the effect determination process during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (103SGS311). Next, while extracting the random number for determining the effect type, the presence or absence of the variable display effect (reach advance notice / setting suggestion) is executed using the effect (reach notice / setting suggestion) type determination table C (not shown). A lottery is performed to determine the type of reach notice or setting suggestion when the execution is performed (103SGS312).

The effect (reach notice / setting suggestion) type determination table C (not shown) is not shown in particular, but the determination ratio of the effect patterns PT-1 to PT-9 is set according to the type of the variation pattern and the number of set values. ing. That is, although the determination ratios of the effect patterns PT-1 to PT-9 differ depending on the type of the fluctuation pattern and the setting values 1 to 6, the execution ratios of the reach notice and the setting suggestion shown in FIG. 8-20 (B) are different. As shown in the trend chart, as a whole, the reach notice is determined (priority) at a higher rate than the setting suggestion, that is, the decision rate is set to be higher in the order of reach notice, setting suggestion, and non-execution. (For example, reach notice is determined by 50%, setting suggestion is determined by 40%, and non-execution is determined by 10%).

Further, for example, when the fluctuation pattern is super reach, the rate of reach notice (high) is higher than that of reach notice (low) (for example, reach notice (high) is 40% and reach notice (low) is 10%). It is preferable to determine with. When the set value is a high setting value 5 or 6, the ratio of the setting suggestion (high) to the setting suggestion (low) is higher than the setting suggestion (low) (for example, the setting suggestion (high) is 35% and the setting suggestion (low) is 5). %) Is preferable. That is, the effect control CPU 120 has an effect based on any of the patterns PT1 to PT-9 in a ratio of reach notice (high)> setting suggestion (high)> reach notice (low)> setting suggestion (low). You just have to decide what to do.

Further, in the first embodiment and the first modification, an embodiment in which the execution rate of the reach notice and the setting suggestion is determined based on the fluctuation pattern and the set value is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The execution rate of the reach notice and the setting suggestion may be different depending on the fluctuation pattern, the set value, and the variable display result. Specifically, regardless of whether the fluctuation pattern is super reach or normal reach fluctuation pattern, when a big hit occurs, the reach notice should be executed at a higher rate than when it is out of order, prioritizing the setting suggestion. Is preferable.

Further, in the first embodiment and the first modification, when both the advantageous state suggestion result and the setting suggestion result can be executed as the effect result, either the reach notice or the setting suggestion is executed as the variable display effect. Although possible forms have been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and when both the advantageous state suggestion result and the setting suggestion result are feasible as the effect result, the effect result of the variable display effect is displayed. It may be possible to execute a specific effect that is a specific result that is both an advantageous state suggestion result and a setting suggestion result.

As a specific effect, for example, when a specific image suggesting both a jackpot and a maximum setting (setting value 6) (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-18, a paraglider image Z1 is displayed, a character is displayed. Display an image in which the paraglider in which appears is moving, etc.), or display an image in which the display mode of the paraglider (for example, color, size, movement speed, trajectory, etc.) is different from the normal mode. It may be displayed, the background color may be different, or an effect image may be displayed. Alternatively, a special sound effect may be output according to the image display of the paraglider, or the light emitting body may be made to emit light in a special light emitting mode.

Further, in the first embodiment and the first modification, when either the advantageous state suggestion result or the setting suggestion result is obtained as the effect result, that is, either the reach notice or the setting suggestion can be executed as the variable display effect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to execute either the reach notice or the setting suggestion in the effect during variable display, while the reach notice and the setting suggestion are variable. It may be possible to execute each independently at an effect timing different from the effect being displayed.

Specifically, for example, it is possible to execute a reach notice (for example, a character notice in which a character appears) different from the reach notice shown in FIGS. 8-18 at a different effect timing from the variable display effect. On the other hand, the setting suggestion in a mode different from the setting suggestion shown in FIGS. 8-18 (for example, the ending image of the big hit) is presented at a timing different from the effect during variable display (for example, after the end of the big hit). It may be feasible.

In Example 1 of the feature unit 103SG of the above-described embodiment, an embodiment in which the effect during variable display can be executed only once during one variable display is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and one It may be possible to execute the variable display effect multiple times during the variable display of.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (A) as the second embodiment, the first period from the start timing of the variable display to the start timing of the reach effect of the normal reach for the fluctuation patterns of the normal reach and the super reach. And in the second period after the first period, the variable display effect can be executed.

Since the variable display time is short in order to execute the variable display effect twice or more for the non-reach and small hit variation patterns, in the second embodiment, the variable display target is the normal reach and super reach variation patterns. Although limited to, non-reach and small hit fluctuation patterns may be included as execution targets of the effect during variable display.

Further, in the second embodiment, in the above-described variable display effect determination process, the presence / absence of the variable display effect execution determination table is used according to the variation pattern using the variable display effect execution decision table shown in FIG. 8-21 (B). Determined at different rates. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (B), when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, 40 out of 100 random numbers for determining the effect during variable display are displayed in the variable display effect execution decision table. Is assigned to the execution of the variable display effect, and 60 are assigned to the non-execution of the variable display effect. Further, when the fluctuation pattern is super reach, 60 out of 100 random numbers for determining the execution of the variable display effect are assigned to the execution of the variable display effect in the variable display effect execution decision table. Individuals are assigned to non-execution of the effect during variable display.

When the execution of the variable display effect is determined in the second embodiment, the variable display effect is executed in both the first period and the second period shown in FIG. 8-21 (A).

If it is decided to execute the variable display effect when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach, it is executed in the first period as shown in FIGS. 8-22 (A) and 8-22 (B). It is decided to execute the setting suggestion and the reach notice at different ratios between the variable display effect to be performed and the variable display effect to be executed in the second period. In the same period, the execution ratios of the setting suggestion and the reach notice are set to be the same regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-23, when the execution of the variable display effect is determined when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, the effect type (effect) of the variable display effect to be executed in the first period is determined. The pattern) is determined to be either pattern PT-1 to PT-7 (setting suggestion (low) or setting suggestion (high)) at a rate of 60% regardless of the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1. , 40% to determine pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9 (expectation (low) or expectation (high)). Further, as shown in FIG. 8-24, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the second period is a pattern at a rate of 40% regardless of the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1. Determined to be either PT-1 to PT-7 (setting suggestion (low) or setting suggestion (high)), and at a rate of 60%, pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9 (expectation (low) or expectation). (High)) is decided.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 and 8-24, paying attention to the case where the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the first period The effect type (effect pattern) of the effect during variable display to be executed is determined to be one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} at a rate of 59%, and the pattern PT- at a rate of 1%. One of 5 to PT-7 was decided as {setting suggestion (high)}, pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)} was decided at a rate of 35%, and pattern PT-9 {reach was decided at a rate of 5%. Notice (high)} will be decided. In addition, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the second period is determined to be one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} at a rate of 38%, and 2%. The ratio was determined to be one of the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 {setting suggestion (high)}, the ratio was determined to be the pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)}, and the ratio was 5%.

In addition, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the second period is determined to be one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} at a rate of 34%, and is 6%. The ratio was determined to be one of the patterns PT-5 to PT-7 {setting suggestion (high)}, the ratio was determined to be the pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)}, and the ratio was 55%. Pattern PT-9 {Reach notice (high)} is decided.

As described above, in the second embodiment, when the execution of the variable display effect is determined, the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 {reach is used as the effect type of the variable display effect to be executed in the second period. The rate (60%) at which the execution of the notice (low) or reach notice (high)} is determined is the effect type of the variable display during the first period, such as pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9 {reach. It is set higher than the rate (40%) at which the execution of the notice (low) or reach notice (high)} is determined.

Therefore, as the effect during variable display is repeatedly executed, the reach notice that is the advantageous state suggestion result becomes easier to be executed. Therefore, one game result, that is, a timing close to the timing at which the variable display result of the variable display is derived. Expectations for big hits can be increased.

In particular, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26, for the effect type of the effect during variable display executed in the first period, any one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 {setting suggestion (low)). Or, while the rate at which the setting suggestion (high)} is determined is set higher than the rate at which the execution of pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9 {reach notice (low) or reach notice (high)} is determined. As for the effect type of the variable display effect that is executed in the second period, the rate at which the execution of pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9 {reach notice (low) or reach notice (high)} is determined is the pattern. Any of PT-1 to PT-7 {setting suggestion (low) or setting suggestion (high)} is set higher than the determined ratio.

That is, the pattern PT-8 and the pattern PT-9 corresponding to the reach notice are determined at a higher rate in the second period than in the first period, and the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 corresponding to the setting suggestion are the second. By determining at a lower rate than the first period in the period, the setting suggestion is executed at a higher rate than the reach notice in the first period, and the reach notice is executed at a higher rate than the setting suggestion in the second period. ..

Therefore, for example, after the reach notice (high) is executed as the variable display effect in the first period, the reach notice (low) is executed as the variable display effect in the second period, that is, the variable display is in progress. The variable display is due to the fact that the reach notice is executed so that the expectation of the reach notice decreases as the effect is repeatedly executed (so-called downfall), or the reach notice (high) is executed in the first time. By allowing the player to predict that is likely to be super reach before the reach notice is executed twice, the player's expectation that the variable display is super reach is reduced. It is possible to prevent it from being stored.

Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26, the variable display effect performed in the second period is more effective than the variable display effect executed in the first period. However, the rate at which any one of pattern PT-5 to pattern PT-8 {setting suggestion (high)} is determined as the effect type is set high. That is, as the variable display effect is executed, the variable display effect becomes easier to be executed by the pattern PT-9, so that the game against the variable display effect being executed by the pattern PT-5 to the pattern PT-8. The expectation of the person can be sustained.

In the second embodiment, when it is decided to execute the variable display effect, the variable display effect is executed twice in the first period and the second period, but the present invention illustrates this. When it is decided to execute the variable display effect, the variable display effect may be executed three or more times. When the variable display effect is executed three or more times in this way, the effect type determination ratio is set so that the pattern PT-9 can be easily determined each time the variable display effect is executed. It may be possible to maintain the expectation of the engineer for a longer period of time.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26, the variable display effect performed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period have the pattern PT- as an effect type. Since the ratios of 1 to PT-7 {setting suggestion (low) or setting suggestion (high)} are different, the variable display effect executed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period are executed. It is difficult to continuously execute the setting suggestion with the effect during variable display. That is, it is possible to prevent the game entertainment from being lowered due to the variable display being effect becoming monotonous due to the setting suggestion being executed in both of these two variable display during effects.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26, the variable display effect performed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period have the pattern PT- as an effect type. Since the ratio of 8 and PT-9 {reach notice (low) or reach notice (high)} is different, the variable display effect executed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period are executed. It is difficult to continuously execute reach notices with the effect during variable display. That is, it is possible to prevent the game entertainment from being lowered due to the monotonous effect during the variable display due to the execution of the reach notice in both of these two variable display effects.

Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26, the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the first period and the variable display effect in the second period. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect control CPU 120 is used in the first period. In the case of executing the variable display effect and the case of executing the variable display effect in the second period, the ratio of the reach notice being executed as the variable display effect may be the same. By doing so, when the variable display effect is executed in the first period and the second period, the reach notice is executed as the variable display effect, while the first period and the second period are executed. You can expect the player in the same way.

In the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26, if the variable display advance notice effect is executed during the same period, regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment in which the ratio at which the execution of the reach notice is determined is the same as the variable display notice effect. , The rate at which the execution of the reach notice is determined as the effect during variable display may differ depending on the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. By doing so, the rate at which the reach notice is executed as the variable display effect during the first period or the second period changes according to the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1, so that the variable display It is possible to prevent the medium production from becoming monotonous.

Further, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-22 to 8-26, focusing on the effect during variable display executed in the first period, the ratio (pattern PT-1 to PT-1 to) that determines the execution of the setting suggestion. The ratio for determining the execution of any of the patterns PT-7) is set to 60%, which is the same ratio regardless of the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the ratio for determining the reach notice (pattern). The ratio for determining the execution of the PT-8 or the pattern PT9) is set to 40%, which is the same ratio regardless of the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine. Similarly, focusing on the variable display effect to be executed in the second period, the ratio for determining the execution of the setting suggestion (the ratio for determining the execution of any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7) is the pachinko gaming machine 1. Regardless of the set value, it is set to 40%, which is the same ratio, and the ratio for determining the reach notice (the ratio for determining the execution of pattern PT-8 or pattern PT9) is set for the pachinko gaming machine. It is set to 60%, which is the same ratio regardless of the set value.

Therefore, even if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 6, the variable display effect (the first variable display effect) executed in the first period is always performed. The setting suggestion is executed at a rate of 60%, the reach notice is executed at a rate of 40%, and the variable display during the second period (the second variable display during the effect) is always set at a rate of 40%. Since the suggestion is executed and the reach notice is executed at a rate of 60%, the player can be expected to execute the setting suggestion in the same way.

Further, in the second embodiment, since the effect during variable display can be executed a plurality of times in one variable display, the chances of providing reach notice and setting suggestion in one variable display increase, so that the interest is improved. ..

More specifically, when only the reach notice can be executed independently in relation to the display result of one variable display, the setting suggestion is performed at a timing other than the variable display (for example, the ending or variable display of the jackpot game state). It is possible to execute it independently (when it is not executed), but when the player is playing a game, the most noticeable thing is during the execution period of the variable display. Therefore, in the variable display effect in which both the reach notice and the setting suggestion can be executed, not only the setting suggestion can be executed during the execution period of the variable display that the player pays the most attention to, but also the setting suggestion can be executed in the second embodiment. As described above, by making it possible to execute the variable display effect multiple times in one variable display, it is possible not only to increase the chances of executing the setting suggestion, but also to increase the chances of executing the setting suggestion, as described above, in the first period and the second period. If it is executed at a higher rate, it is possible to execute the setting suggestion and the reach advancement in a well-balanced manner without hindering the execution of the reach advance notice even in the fluctuation pattern of the jackpot.

Further, in the second embodiment, when it is decided to execute the effect during variable display, either the reach notice or the setting suggestion is executed in both the first period and the second period. The invention is not limited to this, and it may be decided that neither the reach notice nor the setting suggestion is executed in at least one of the first period and the second period.

When it is possible to determine non-execution in this way, even if the execution rate of the setting suggestion is set to be the same in the first period and the second period, if the execution rate of the reach notice is different between the first period and the second period. Can be made. Further, even if the execution rate of the reach notice is set to be the same in the first period and the second period, the execution rate of the setting suggestion can be different between the first period and the second period.

(Second invention)
As described above, the present embodiment includes the second invention shown below. That is, conventionally, in a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, the variable display result can be a big hit by changing the set value, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-20092. There were some that could change the probability of becoming (the probability of being controlled to an advantageous state). In the gaming machine described in the above patent gazette, it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect that suggests a set value depending on the type of animal displayed. When either of the setting suggestion effects can be executed, no consideration is given to which effect is prioritized, and the setting suggestion effect to be set as the set value is executed when controlled in an advantageous state. Therefore, there was a problem that the production became inappropriate. Therefore, for the purpose of providing a gaming machine that can prevent the production from becoming inappropriate,

The effect mode of the predetermined effect is a first suggestion mode (for example, a setting suggestion (low) based on patterns PT-1 to PT-4) for suggesting a setting, and a setting and a type suggested by the first suggestion mode. Includes a second suggestion embodiment (eg, setting suggestion (high) based on pattern PT-5 to pattern PT-7) that makes suggestions for different settings.
When the predetermined effect executing means can execute both the predetermined effect of the first suggestion mode and the predetermined effect of the second suggestion mode when the predetermined effect is executed a plurality of times (for example, FIG. 2 as a second embodiment). As shown in 8-21), during the variable display of the normal reach and the super reach), the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of the plurality of times, and after the first number of the plurality of times. It is possible to execute the predetermined effect of the second suggestion mode at a higher rate when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times (for example, FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26 and 8-28 to 8). As shown in −31, when the effect control CPU 120 can execute the variable display effect during the first period and the second period during the variable display of the normal reach and the super reach as the second and third embodiments. The part where the setting suggestion (strong) is executed at a higher rate when the variable display effect is executed in the second period than when the variable display effect is executed in the first period)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, as the predetermined effect of the second suggestion mode is repeatedly executed, the predetermined effect of the second suggestion mode is easily executed, so that the player's expectation that the predetermined effect of the second suggestion mode is executed is maintained. Can be done.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 to 8-26, the variable display effect performed during the second period suggests a setting (stronger) than the variable display effect executed during the first period. Is easy to execute, so that the player's expectation that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a high set value such as 4 to 6 can be maintained.

In the second embodiment, the setting suggestion (low) based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-4, which is the first suggestion mode for suggesting the setting, suggests an odd number setting or an even number setting, and the first suggestion. The setting suggestion (high) based on any of the patterns PT-5 to PT-7, which is the second suggestion mode in which the setting suggested in the mode and the setting of a different type are suggested, is a form suggesting an intermediate setting or higher or the highest setting. Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second suggestion mode may be any one as long as it suggests a setting different from the setting suggested in the first suggestion mode, for example, the first suggestion. The set value suggested in the embodiment and the set value suggested in the second suggested embodiment may all be different set values (for example, the first suggested embodiment suggests the set value 1 and the second suggested embodiment is set). When the value 6 is suggested, or when the first suggestion mode suggests odd setting values 1, 3, 5 and the second suggestion mode suggests even setting 2, 4, 6), the first suggestion mode suggests. A common setting value may be included in both the setting value to be set and the setting value suggested in the second suggestion mode (for example, the first suggestion mode suggests the setting values 1 to 4 and the second suggestion mode is Even if one of the first suggestion mode and the second suggestion mode is a suggestion regarding a setting change and the other is a suggestion regarding a set value set. good. That is, not only the setting values suggested by the first suggestion mode and the second suggestion mode are different, but also the setting to be suggested when there are a plurality of setting values suggested by the first suggestion mode and the second suggestion mode. Includes those with different numbers and ranges of values, or those with different suggestions.

The gaming machine of the means 2 of the third invention is the gaming machine according to the means 1.
The predetermined effect executing means is specified including the first suggestion mode and the second suggestion mode when the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of times and when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times. It is possible to execute the predetermined effect of the embodiment at the same ratio (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-27 as the third embodiment, the case where the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect during the first period, and the case where the effect is executed. A part in which the setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 is executed at the same ratio in the case where the variable display effect is executed in the second period after the first period).
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, regardless of whether the predetermined effect of the specific aspect is executed at the first time or the second number of times, the execution of the predetermined effect of the specific aspect can be expected in the same manner.
Specifically, after setting the execution rate of the entire setting suggestion to be the same (or a lower rate in the second period than in the first period) in the first period and the second period, the effect during variable display in the first period By executing the setting suggestion (strong) at a higher rate when executing the variable display effect in the second period than when executing, it is possible to prevent the setting suggestion from being executed excessively. However, it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the high set value.

The part that executes the variable display of the decorative pattern by executing the effect processing during the variable display of the CPU 120),
The predetermined effect executing means can execute the predetermined effect a plurality of times over a plurality of variable displays (for example, the effect control CPU 120 has a variable display (target variation) based on the hold storage that is the target of the look-ahead notice. The part that executes reach notice or setting suggestion as a look-ahead notice for target fluctuation over multiple variable displays until the start)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the predetermined effect of the special aspect and the predetermined effect of the specific aspect can be executed even before the variable display that is the result of one game is started, the interest is improved.

The gaming machine of means 6 of the third invention is the gaming machine according to any one of means 1 to 5.
The predetermined effect executing means can execute a predetermined effect of a special aspect which is a suggestion that the predetermined effect is controlled to the advantageous state and also a suggestion regarding the setting (for example, the effect control CPU 120 provides a reach notice and a setting suggestion). When both are feasible, the paraglider in which the character appears moves when displaying a specific image (for example, paraglider image Z1) that suggests both a jackpot and a maximum setting (setting value 6). Image etc.) Display part etc.)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, it is possible to effectively increase the player's expectation that a predetermined effect of a special mode different from the special mode or the specific mode is executed, so that the game entertainment can be improved.

(4th invention)
As described above, the present embodiment includes the fourth invention shown below. That is, conventionally, in a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, the variable display result can be a big hit by changing the set value, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-20092. There were some that could change the probability of becoming (the probability of being controlled to an advantageous state). In the gaming machine described in the above patent gazette, it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect that suggests a setting value depending on the type of animal displayed. For example, when such a setting suggestion effect can be repeatedly executed a plurality of times. , There is a problem that the production may be inappropriate because no consideration is given to how to execute the setting suggestion effect in the first and second times of the multiple times. .. Therefore, for the purpose of providing a gaming machine that can prevent the production from becoming inappropriate,
The gaming machine of means 1 of the fourth invention is
It can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and is set to one of a plurality of set values (for example, set values 1 to 6) having different advantages for the player. A possible gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1),
A predetermined effect executing means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 can perform a predetermined effect according to any one of a plurality of types of effect modes, as an effect during variable display, is one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7. It has a setting suggestion based on it, or a part where reach notice based on patterns PT-8 and PT-9 can be executed).
The effect mode of the predetermined effect is a special mode (for example, a reach notice based on the special pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9) that suggests that the predetermined effect is controlled, and a suggestion regarding the setting. Includes specific embodiments (eg, setting suggestions based on any of the specific patterns PT-1 to PT-7).
The predetermined effect executing means is
The predetermined effect can be executed a plurality of times (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-21 as the second embodiment, the variable display effect can be executed in the first period and the second period before the reach effect is started. part),
The predetermined effect of the specific embodiment is performed when the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of the plurality of times and when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times after the first number of the plurality of times. It can be executed at different ratios (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-22 as Example 2, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display during effect in the first period and after the first period. The ratio of executing the setting suggestion based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 differs between the case of executing the variable display effect in the second period of
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the easiness of appearance of the predetermined effect of the specific mode differs between the first number of times and the second number of times, it is possible to suppress the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-22, in the first period, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the setting suggestion as the variable display effect at a higher rate than the execution of the reach notice, while the second period. By determining the execution of the setting suggestion as the effect during variable display at a lower rate than the execution of the reach notice, not only is it difficult to execute the setting suggestion in the second period, which is a timing close to the variable display result, but also Since the reach notice is easily executed, the player's expectation for the big hit can be increased. In the first period, the execution of the setting suggestion may be determined at a lower rate than the execution of the reach notice, while in the second period, the execution of the setting suggestion may be determined at a higher rate than the execution of the reach notice. ..

The gaming machine of the means 2 of the fourth invention is the gaming machine according to the means 1.
The predetermined effect executing means can execute the predetermined effect of the special aspect at the same ratio when the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of times and when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times (the predetermined effect). For example, the pattern PT-8 may be obtained when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the first period and when the variable display effect is executed in the second period after the first period. Or the part where the reach notice based on the pattern PT-9 is executed at the same rate)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, regardless of whether the predetermined effect of the special aspect is executed at the first time or the second number of times, the execution of the predetermined effect of the special aspect can be similarly expected.
In Example 2, if the non-execution can be determined, the execution ratio of the reach notice can be made the same while the execution ratio of the setting suggestion is different between the first period and the second period.

The gaming machine of the means 3 of the fourth invention is the gaming machine according to the means 1.
The predetermined effect executing means can execute the predetermined effect of the special aspect at different ratios when the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of times and when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times (for example). As shown in FIG. 8-22 as the second embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 is performing the variable display effect in the first period and the variable display in the second period after the first period. The part where the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 is executed at the same ratio in the case of executing the production)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special aspect changes depending on the first number of times and the second number of times, it is possible to suppress the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.
Specifically, in the first period, the execution of the setting suggestion is determined at a higher rate than the execution of the reach notice, while in the second period, the execution of the setting suggestion is determined at a lower rate than the execution of the reach notice. In the second period, which is close to the variable display result, not only is it difficult to execute the setting suggestion, but also the reach notice is easily executed, so that the player's expectation for the big hit can be increased.

The gaming machine of the means 4 of the fourth invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 3.
When the predetermined effect is executed at the predetermined number of times among the plurality of times, the predetermined effect executing means is different from the case where the first set value is set among the plurality of set values and the first set value. 2 The predetermined effect of the special aspect can be executed at the same ratio as when the set value is set (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-22 as the second embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 is the first. When executing the variable display effect during the period, the part that executes the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 at the same ratio regardless of the set value, and the effect control CPU 120 The part where the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 is executed at the same ratio regardless of the set value when the variable display effect is executed in the second period)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special mode does not change regardless of the set value at the predetermined number of times, the execution of the predetermined effect of the special mode can be expected in the same way.

The gaming machine of the means 5 of the fourth invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 3.
When the predetermined effect execution means executes the predetermined effect at the predetermined number of times among the plurality of times, the second set value is different from the case where the first set value is set among the plurality of set values. It is possible to execute the predetermined effect of the special aspect at a different ratio from the time when the set value is set (for example, it is set when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect during the first period. Set when the part that executes the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 at different ratios according to the set value and when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the second period. The part that executes the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 at different ratios depending on the set value)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special aspect in the predetermined number of times changes according to the set value, it is possible to suppress the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.

(Fifth invention)
As described above, the present embodiment includes the fifth invention shown below. That is, conventionally, in a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, the variable display result can be a big hit by changing the set value, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-20092. There were some that could change the probability of becoming (the probability of being controlled to an advantageous state). In the gaming machine described in the above patent gazette, it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect that suggests a setting value depending on the type of animal displayed. For example, when such a setting suggestion effect can be repeatedly executed a plurality of times. , There is a problem that the production may be inappropriate because no consideration is given to how to execute the setting suggestion effect in the first and second times of the multiple times. .. Therefore, for the purpose of providing a gaming machine that can prevent the production from becoming inappropriate,
The gaming machine of means 1 of the fifth invention is
It can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and is set to one of a plurality of set values (for example, set values 1 to 6) having different advantages for the player. A possible gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1),
A predetermined effect executing means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 can perform a predetermined effect according to any one of a plurality of types of effect modes, as an effect during variable display, is one of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7. It has a setting suggestion based on it, or a part where reach notice based on patterns PT-8 and PT-9 can be executed).
The effect mode of the predetermined effect is a special mode (for example, a reach notice based on the special pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9) that suggests that the predetermined effect is controlled, and a suggestion regarding the setting. Includes specific embodiments (eg, setting suggestions based on any of the specific patterns PT-1 to PT-7).

A plurality of times when the first set value is set among the plurality of set values and when the second set value different from the first set value is set among the plurality of set values. Of these, the predetermined effect of the specific embodiment can be executed at the same rate at a predetermined number of times (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-22 as Example 2, the pachinko game is performed for the variable display effect performed in the first period. The setting suggestion is executed at a rate of 60% regardless of the setting value set in the machine 1, and the variable display effect to be executed in the second period is set regardless of the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The part where the suggestion is executed at a rate of 40%)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, regardless of whether the first set value or the second set value is set, the appearance status of the predetermined effect of the specific mode does not change at the predetermined number of times, so that the predetermined effect of the specific mode can be executed. On the other hand, we can expect the same.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-22 to 8-26, even when any of the values 1 to 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the execution is performed in the first period. The rate at which the setting suggestion is executed as the variable display effect (appearance status) and the rate at which the setting suggestion is executed as the variable display effect during the second period (appearance status) are the same, that is, the set value is Since the appearance status of the setting suggestion is the same regardless of whether the low setting value or the high setting value is set, it is possible to make it difficult to predict the setting value depending on the appearance status of the setting suggestion.

In the second embodiment, even if any of 1 to 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the setting suggestion is executed as the variable display effect executed in the first period. The present invention exemplifies a mode in which the ratio to be performed (appearance status) and the ratio to execute the setting suggestion as the variable display effect executed in the second period (appearance status) are the same, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the ratio (appearance status) in which the setting suggestion is executed as the variable display effect executed in the first period for at least two setting values (for example, 1 and 2) out of the plurality of setting values 1 to 6. If the ratio (appearance status) of the setting suggestion being executed as the variable display effect executed in the second period is the same, the setting values other than the above two setting values (for example, 3 to 6) are the first. The rate (appearance status) in which the setting suggestion is executed may not be the same in the first period and the second period.

Further, only in the variable display effect of either the variable display effect executed in the first period or the variable display effect executed in the second period, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has 1 to 6 set values. Regardless of which value is set, the rate at which the setting suggestion is executed (appearance status) as the variable display effect executed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period. The rate at which the setting suggestion is executed (appearance status) may not be different.

The gaming machine of the means 2 of the fifth invention is the gaming machine according to the means 1.
The predetermined effect executing means is the special effect when the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of times out of a plurality of times and when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times after the first number of times. It is possible to execute the predetermined effect of the embodiment at the same ratio (for example, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the first period and the variable display effect in the second period). Then, the part that executes the reach notice based on the patterns PT-8 and PT-9 at the same rate)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, regardless of whether the predetermined effect of the special aspect is executed at the first time or the second number of times, the execution of the predetermined effect of the special aspect can be similarly expected.

The part where the reach notice based on the patterns PT-8 and PT-9 is executed at different ratios when the variable display effect is executed in the second period after the first period)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special aspect changes depending on the first number of times and the second number of times, it is possible to suppress the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.

The gaming machine of the means 4 of the fifth invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 3.

It is set when the part that executes the reach notice based on the patterns PT-8 and PT-9 at different ratios according to the set value and when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the second period. The part that executes the reach notice based on the patterns PT-8 and PT-9 at different rates according to the set value)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special aspect in the predetermined number of times changes according to the set value, it is possible to suppress the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.

Further, in the second embodiment, the first period and the second period are exemplified between the start timing of the variable display and the start timing of the reach effect of the normal reach, but the present invention is limited thereto. It is possible to set a period other than the above as long as it is a period from the start to the end of the variable display until the variable display result is displayed. For example, the first period is from the start to the end of normal reach, the second period is from the start to the end of super reach, the first period is from the start of normal reach or super reach, and the second period is normal reach. Or until the end of Super Reach, or by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display, one variable display can be performed multiple times in a pseudo manner. In the case of a pseudo-continuous fluctuation pattern accompanied by a pseudo-continuous effect that looks like a variable display of, the first period is set as the start timing of the first re-variable display, the second period is set as the start timing of the second re-variable display, and the like. , May correspond to the revariable display period.

In the second embodiment, the variable display effect can be executed twice during one variable display, and the reach is achieved regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 if the variable display effect is the same number of times. An example is shown in which the execution of the notice and the execution of the setting suggestion are determined at the same ratio. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIGS. 8-27 (A) and 8-27 (B) as Example 3, the effect during variable display during one variable display is 2 When it is possible to execute the game once, the execution of the reach notice and the execution of the setting suggestion are determined at different ratios according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 even if the effect is being variablely displayed the same number of times. You may.

When it is decided to execute the variable display effect, the variable display effect to be executed in the first period and the second period as shown in FIGS. 8-27 (A) and 8-27 (B). It is decided to execute the setting suggestion and the reach notice at the same ratio for each of the variable display effect to be executed in.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 and 8-29, paying attention to the case where the fluctuation pattern is normal reach, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1, the first period The effect type (effect pattern) of the effect during variable display to be executed is determined to be pattern PT-1 to pattern PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} at a rate of 64%, and pattern PT5 to pattern PT at a rate of 1%. Decided to -8 {setting suggestion (high)}, decided to pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)} at a rate of 30%, and decided to pattern PT-9 {reach notice (high)} at a rate of 5%. decide. In addition, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the second period is determined to be pattern PT-1 to pattern PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} at a ratio of 63%, and a ratio of 2%.

Notice (high)} will be decided.

When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 2, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the first period is set to 58.8% from pattern PT-1 to pattern. Decided to PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)}, decided to pattern PT5 to pattern PT-8 {setting suggestion (high)} at a rate of 1.2%, and decided to pattern PT-8 {reach at a rate of 35%. The notice (low)} is decided, and the pattern PT-9 {reach notice (high)} is decided at a rate of 5%. In addition, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the second period is determined to be pattern PT-1 to pattern PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} at a rate of 57.8%. Pattern PT5 to pattern PT-8 {setting suggestion (high)} was decided at a rate of 2%, pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low)} was decided at a rate of 35%, and pattern PT was decided at a rate of 5%. -9 {Reach notice (high)} will be decided.

Pattern PT-9 {Reach notice (high)} is decided.

As described above, in the third embodiment, when the execution of the variable display effect is determined, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set to any of 1 to 6 in the first period. The rate at which patterns PT-1 to PT-7 {set value suggestion (low) or setting suggestion (high)} are determined as the effect type of the effect during variable display executed in the second period and the variable display executed in the second period. As the effect type of the medium effect, the ratio at which the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 {set value suggestion (low) or setting suggestion (high)} is determined is set to be the same. Therefore, regardless of whether the setting suggestion is executed in the first period or the second period, the player can expect the setting suggestion result in the same way.

Furthermore, in the second period and the ratio at which pattern PT-8 and pattern PT-9 {reach notice (low) and reach notice (high)} are determined as the effect type of the variable display effect executed in the first period. The ratio at which the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 {reach notice (low) or reach notice (high)} is determined is set to be the same as the effect type of the effect during variable display to be executed. Therefore, regardless of whether the reach notice is executed in the first period or the second period, the player can expect the advantageous state suggestion result in the same way.

On the other hand, when the variable display effect is executed in the first period or the second period, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is the first set value (for example, the set value 1) and the second. The ratio at which the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 {set value suggestion (low) or set value suggestion (high)} are determined as the effect type differs between the set value (for example, the set value 6). , Since the appearance status of the setting suggestion in the first period or the second period changes depending on which of the first set value and the second set value is set, it is possible to suppress the effect during variable display from becoming monotonous.

Further, in the variable display effect performed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period, a pattern is set as an effect type each time the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 increases. The rate at which PT-1 to PT-7 {set value suggestion (low) or set value suggestion (high)} is determined decreases, and pattern PT-8 and pattern PT-9 {reach notice (low) and reach notice ( High)} is determined more often. Therefore, when a high setting value (for example, 5 or 6) is set for the pachinko gaming machine 1, the setting is suggested as compared with the case where a low setting value (for example, 1 to 4) is set for the pachinko gaming machine 1. Is difficult to execute, so that it is difficult for the player who recognizes the effect during variable display to specify the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

Further, as in the second embodiment, in the third embodiment, the variable display effect performed in the second period is the pattern PT-9 as the effect type than the variable display effect executed in the first period. The rate at which {setting suggestion (high)} is determined is set high. That is, as the variable display effect is repeatedly executed, the reach notice based on the pattern PT-9 becomes easier to be executed, so that the player's expectation that the variable display effect is executed on the pattern PT-9 is maintained. Can be made to.

In the third embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-27, regardless of whether the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 6, the variable display executed in the first period is in progress. The ratio of patterns PT-1 to PT-7 {set value suggestion (low) or set value suggestion (high)} is the same between the effect and the effect during variable display executed in the second period. Although the embodiment in which the ratios at which the pattern PT-8 and the pattern PT-9 {reach notice (low) and reach notice (high)} are determined is the same is illustrated, the present invention is not limited thereto. , Even if the set values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are the same, the pattern PT-1 is performed between the variable display effect executed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period. ~ PT-7 {set value suggestion (low) or set value suggestion (high)} may be determined at different rates, and pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9 {reach notice (low) or reach notice. The rate at which (high)} is determined may be different.

In the third embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the first period and the variable display effect in the second period, which are the same as the variable display effect. Although the embodiment in which the setting suggestion is executed by the ratio is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display during the effect in the first period and in the second period. The setting suggestion may be executed at different ratios as the variable display effect depending on the case of executing the variable display effect. By doing so, the rate (appearance rate) at which the setting suggestion is executed changes depending on whether the variable display effect is executed in the first period or the variable display effect is executed in the second period. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect from becoming monotonous during variable display.

Further, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-27, the variable display effect (the first variable display effect) executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the first period and the variable display executed in the second period. When executing the reach notice as the middle effect (the second variable display medium effect), an example of a form in which the reach notice is executed at different ratios according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 at the same number of times. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display effect (the first variable display effect) executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period. When executing the reach notice as (the second variable display effect), if the same number of variable display effects are performed, the reach notice is given at the same ratio regardless of the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1. You may do it. By doing so, if the effect is during variable display the same number of times, the rate at which the reach notice is executed (appearance status) does not change according to the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1. , It is possible to expect the player to execute the reach notice in the variable display in effect executed in the first period and the variable display in effect executed in the second period.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8-32 as the fourth embodiment, the first period and the first period between the start timing of the variable display and the start timing of the reach effect of the normal reach are targeted for the fluctuation patterns of the normal reach and the super reach. The variable display effect can be executed in the second period after the first period. Since the variable display time is short in order to execute the variable display effect twice or more for the non-reach and small hit variation patterns, in the fourth embodiment, the variable display target is the normal reach and super reach variation patterns. Limited to.

Further, in the fourth embodiment, in the variable display effect determination process described above, when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach, the type of the variable display effect is determined based on the set value for the first period. For the second period, a process of determining the type of effect during variable display is executed based on the fluctuation pattern. Hereinafter, the effect determination process during variable display in the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-33.

As shown in FIGS. 8-33, in the effect determination process during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies a variation pattern (103SGS311). As described above, the variation pattern can be specified by the variation pattern specification command stored in the variation pattern specification command storage area. Then, it is determined whether the specified variation pattern is normal reach or super reach (103SGS312), and if it is normal reach or super reach, it proceeds to 103SG313, and if it is other than normal reach or super reach, that is, a non-reach or small hit variation pattern. In this case, since it is not the target of the variable display effect, the variable display effect determination process is terminated.

When the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach in 103SGS312, the set value stored in the RAM 102 is read out to specify the current set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (103SGS313). Next, based on the set value specified by 103SGS313, whether or not the variable display effect is executed in the first period and the effect type (effect pattern) when the variable display effect is executed are determined by a variable display effect execution determination table (not shown). It is determined using (common to normal reach and super reach) (103SGS314).

As shown in FIG. 8-34 (A), in 103SGS314, the effect control CPU 120 uses a variable display during effect execution determination table whose fluctuation pattern is common to normal reach or super reach, and reaches notice, setting suggestion, and non-execution. Decide on one of. Specifically, in the case of the setting value 1, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the reach notice (low) at a rate of 40%, the setting suggestion at a rate of 40%, and the non-execution at a rate of 10%. Determined by percentage. Further, in the case of the set value 6, the execution of the reach notice (low) is determined at a rate of 40%, the setting suggestion is determined at a rate of 55%, and the non-execution is determined at a rate of 5%. Although the execution ratio corresponding to the set values 2 to 5 is omitted here, the reach notice is determined by the common execution ratio regardless of the set value 1 to 6, and the setting suggestion is set. The larger the value, the higher the execution rate of the setting suggestion and the execution rate of the setting suggestion (high).

Further, when it is determined in 103SGS318 that the fluctuation pattern is not the normal reach, that is, it is the super reach, whether or not the variable display effect is executed in the second period and the execution are performed based on the specified fluctuation pattern and the set value. The effect type (effect pattern) in the case of performing is determined by using an effect execution determination table (for super reach) during variable display (not shown) (103SGS320).

As shown in FIG. 8-34 (C), in 103SGS320, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether to reach notice, setting suggestion, or non-execution by using the effect execution decision table during variable display for super reach. .. Specifically, in the case of the setting value 1 and the setting value 6, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the reach notice (low) at a rate of 60%, determines the setting suggestion at a rate of 40%, and does not execute. Do not decide. Although the execution ratio corresponding to the set values 2 to 5 is omitted here, the reach notice and the setting suggestion are determined by a common execution ratio regardless of the set value 1 to 6, and the setting suggestion ( For high), the execution rate is set to increase as the set value increases.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-36, paying attention to the case of super reach regarding the variable display advance notice effect type determination ratio in the second period, the set value set for the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 1. In this case, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the first period is determined to be pattern PT-1 to pattern PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} at a rate of 36%, and 4%.

Reach notice (high)} will be decided.

When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 2, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the first period is set to the pattern PT-1 to the pattern at a rate of 35.8%. PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)} was decided, and pattern PT5 to pattern PT-8 {setting suggestion (high)} was decided at a rate of 4.2%, and pattern PT-8 {reach was decided at a rate of 5%. The notice (low)} is decided, and the pattern PT-9 {reach notice (high)} is decided at a rate of 55%.

When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 3, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the first period is set to the pattern PT-1 to the pattern at a rate of 35.5%. Decided to PT-4 {setting suggestion (low)}, decided to pattern PT5 to pattern PT-8 {setting suggestion (high)} at a rate of 4.5%, and decided to pattern PT-8 {reach at a rate of 5%.

When the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 6, the effect type (effect pattern) of the variable display effect to be executed in the first period is set to pattern PT-1 to pattern PT- at a rate of 32%. 4 {Setting suggestion (low)} was decided, and pattern PT5 to pattern PT-8 {setting suggestion (high)} was decided at a rate of 8%, and pattern PT-8 {reach notice (low) was decided at a rate of 5%. }, And the pattern PT-9 {reach notice (high)} is decided at a rate of 55%.

Returning to FIGS. 8-33, it is determined whether or not the execution of the variable display effect in the second period is determined in the 103SGS319 or 103SGS320 (103SGS321), and if the execution is determined, the determined effect type (pattern PT-1). (Any of PT-9) is stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 122 (103SGS322), and the variable display effect execution decision flag indicating that the execution of the variable display effect in the second period is determined is set (103SGS323). ), Ends the effect during variable display. If the execution is not decided in 103SGS321, that is, if the non-execution is decided, the variable display during effect ends.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, when the variable display effect is executed in the first period of the plurality of times, the installation value is 1 to 1 regardless of whether the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach. When deciding whether or not to execute the setting suggestion based on which of 6 is executed, and when the variable display effect is executed in the second period, the fluctuation pattern is normal reach and super reach. Reach notices or setting suggestions are determined based on a separate decision table. That is, since the judgment criteria for whether to execute the reach notice or the setting suggestion is different between the first period and the second period, it is possible to suppress the effect during variable display from becoming monotonous.

Further, since the execution rate of the setting suggestion in the first period is higher than the execution rate of the setting suggestion in the second period, the setting suggestion is easily executed in the first period, whereas the reach notice is given in the second period. Is easier to execute, so even though it becomes normal reach or super reach in the second period, the setting suggestion does not become easier to execute in both the first period and the second period, and Since the reach notice is executed in the first period and the setting suggestion is not easily executed in the second period, the setting suggestion and the reach notice can be executed in a well-balanced manner.

Further, since the execution rate of the reach notice in the second period is higher than the execution rate of the reach notice in the first period, it is variablely displayed by executing the reach notice in both the first period and the second period. It is possible to prevent the medium production from becoming monotonous. However, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 to 8-37, paying attention to each set value, when the variable display effect is executed in the first period, the set value is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. When the execution of the reach notice is decided at the same ratio (40%) and the variable display effect is executed in the second period, the reach notice is executed regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. It is decided at the same ratio (60%). Therefore, in the variable display effect performed in the first period and the variable display effect executed in the second period, the reach notice is executed regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, respectively. The player can be noticed in the same way.

In addition, even if the set value is set high (for example, set values 5 and 6), in the case of normal reach or super reach, not only is the reach notice easier to execute than the setting suggestion in the second period, but also the super reach In this case, the reach notice (high) is likely to be executed, so that it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's expectation for a big hit.

Furthermore, even if the execution of the setting suggestion is decided in the second period, the setting suggestion (high) is more likely to be executed than in the case where the execution of the setting suggestion is decided in the first period. Even when is executed, the player's expectation for the high setting can be increased.

Further, in the first period, when the set value is 1, the execution of the reach notice and the setting suggestion is determined at the same ratio, whereas when the set value is 6, that is, the set values are 1, 2, The higher the setting is in the order of 3, 4, 5, and 6, the execution of the setting suggestion is determined at a higher rate than the reach notice. Therefore, the higher the setting, the easier it is for the setting suggestion to appear. It will be easier to predict.

In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-34, the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect (first variable display effect) in the first period and in the second period. The present invention exemplifies a mode in which the execution of the reach notice is determined at different ratios depending on whether the variable display effect (the second variable display effect) is executed, but the present invention is not limited thereto. , The execution of the reach notice may be determined at the same ratio depending on whether the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the first period or the variable display effect in the second period. .. By doing so, it is possible to make the player similarly expect the execution of the reach notice in the first variable display effect and the second variable display effect.

Further, in the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-34, if the effect is during the variable display of the same number of times, the reach notice is executed at the same ratio regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Although the form to be determined is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the variable display during the same number of times, the reach notice is executed according to the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. May be determined in different proportions. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the execution of the same effect type from being determined between the first variable display effect and the second variable display effect, so that the variable display effect is monotonous. It can be suppressed.

(8th invention)
As described above, the present embodiment includes the eighth invention shown below. That is, conventionally, in a gaming machine that can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, the variable display result can be a big hit by changing the set value, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-20092. There were some that could change the probability of becoming (the probability of being controlled to an advantageous state). In the gaming machine described in the above patent gazette, it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect that suggests a setting value depending on the type of animal displayed. For example, when such a setting suggestion effect can be repeatedly executed a plurality of times. , There is a problem that the production may be inappropriate because no consideration is given to how to execute the setting suggestion effect in the first and second times of the multiple times. .. Therefore, for the purpose of providing a gaming machine that can prevent the production from becoming inappropriate,
The gaming machine of means 1 of the eighth invention is
It can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and is set to one of a plurality of set values (for example, set values 1 to 6) having different advantages for the player. A possible gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1),

Based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not, the part that determines the fluctuation pattern to one of multiple types using the random value for determining the fluctuation pattern) and
A variable display means capable of executing variable display by a determined variable display pattern (for example, the effect control CPU 120 has a decorative pattern based on a display result or a variable pattern specified by an effect control command in the effect processing during variable display. The part that executes variable display) and
Of the patterns PT-1 to PT-9, as the effect pattern of the variable display effect in the variable display effect determination process, the predetermined effect determination means for determining the effect mode of the predetermined effect from a plurality of types. The part that decides one from),
The predetermined effect executing means (for example, the effect control CPU 120 is based on any of the patterns PT-1 to PT-7 as the effect during variable display) capable of executing the predetermined effect based on the determination result of the predetermined effect determining means. Setting suggestion or reach notice based on patterns PT-8 and PT-9) and
Equipped with
The effect mode of the predetermined effect is a special mode (for example, a reach notice based on the special pattern PT-8 or pattern PT-9) that suggests that the predetermined effect is controlled, and a suggestion regarding the setting. Includes specific embodiments (eg, setting suggestions based on any of the specific patterns PT-1 to PT-7).
The predetermined effect executing means is
A portion in which the predetermined effect can be executed a plurality of times (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-32 as the fourth embodiment, the effect during variable display can be executed in the first period and the second period before the start of the reach effect). ),
Based on at least the set value, the effect mode of the predetermined effect to be executed in the first of a plurality of times is determined (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-33 as the fourth embodiment, the effect control is performed. (Part where the CPU 120 determines the effect type of the variable display effect based on the set value in the variable display effect in the first period),
At least based on the variable display pattern determined by the variable display pattern determining means, the effect mode of the predetermined effect to be executed in the second number of times after the first number of times is determined (for example, an embodiment). As shown in FIG. 8-33 as No. 4, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect type of the variable display effect based on the set value and the fluctuation pattern set in the variable display effect in the second period. )
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the determination criteria for determining the effect mode of the predetermined effect differs between the first and second times, it is possible to prevent the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-33, when determining the effect type of the variable display effect in the first period (the first variable display effect), the variable display is being performed based on the variable display variation pattern. Determine the production type of the production * Isn't it a set value? (Refer to 103SGS314) On the other hand, when determining the effect type of the variable display effect (second variable display effect) in the second period, the variable pattern of the variable display and the setting set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are set. The effect type of the variable display effect is determined based on the value (see 103SGS319 and 103SGS320). In other words, since the judgment criteria for determining the effect type are different between the first variable display effect and the second variable display effect, the first variable display effect and the second variable display effect It is possible to suppress that the execution of the same effect type is determined by the above, and it is possible to suppress that the effect during variable display becomes monotonous.

The gaming machine of the means 2 of the eighth invention is the gaming machine according to the means 1.
The predetermined effect executing means can execute the predetermined effect of the special aspect at the same ratio when the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of times and when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times (the predetermined effect). For example, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the first period and the variable display effect in the second period, the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 is given. Part to be executed at the same rate)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, regardless of whether the predetermined effect of the special aspect is executed at the first time or the second number of times, the execution of the predetermined effect of the special aspect can be similarly expected.

The gaming machine of the means 3 of the eighth invention is the gaming machine according to the means 1.
The predetermined effect executing means can execute the predetermined effect of the special aspect at different ratios when the predetermined effect is executed in the first number of times and when the predetermined effect is executed in the second number of times (for example). As shown in FIG. 8-34 as the fourth embodiment, the pattern PT is obtained when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the first period and the variable display effect in the second period. -8 or the part that executes reach notice based on pattern PT-9 at different rates)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special aspect changes depending on the first number of times and the second number of times, it is possible to suppress the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.

The gaming machine of the means 4 of the eighth invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 3.
When the predetermined effect is executed at the predetermined number of times among the plurality of times, the predetermined effect executing means is different from the case where the first set value is set among the plurality of set values and the first set value. 2 The predetermined effect of the special aspect can be executed at the same ratio as when the set value is set (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-34 as the fourth embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 is the first. When executing the variable display effect during the period, the part that executes the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 at the same ratio regardless of the set value, and the effect control CPU 120 are the first. The part where the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 is executed at the same ratio regardless of the set value when the variable display effect is executed in two periods)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special mode does not change regardless of the set value at the predetermined number of times, the execution of the predetermined effect of the special mode can be expected in the same way.

The gaming machine of the means 5 of the eighth invention is the gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 3.
When the predetermined effect execution means executes the predetermined effect at the predetermined number of times among the plurality of times, the second set value is different from the case where the first set value is set among the plurality of set values. It is possible to execute the predetermined effect of the special aspect at a different ratio from the time when the set value is set (for example, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect during the first period, it is set. It is set when the part that executes the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 at different ratios according to the set value and when the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display effect in the second period. The part that executes the reach notice based on the pattern PT-8 or the pattern PT-9 at different rates depending on the set value)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, since the appearance state of the predetermined effect of the special aspect in the predetermined number of times changes according to the set value, it is possible to suppress the predetermined effect from becoming monotonous.

In the fourth embodiment, regardless of whether the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach, in the first period, a mode is exemplified in which it is determined whether to execute the setting suggestion or the reach notice according to the set value. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the first period, regardless of the fluctuation pattern, it is determined whether to execute the setting suggestion or the reach notice according only to the set value. You may.

Further, in the second period, an example is exemplified in which the execution of the reach notice is determined in preference to the setting suggestion according to the fluctuation pattern of normal reach or super reach, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, in the second period, the reach notice and the setting suggestion may be determined at the same ratio depending on whether the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach.

Further, in the fourth embodiment, in the second period, an embodiment in which it is determined whether to execute the reach notice or the setting suggestion depending on whether the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach is illustrated, but the present invention exemplifies. Not limited to this, in the second period, not only when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach, but also when it is non-reach or small hit, either reach notice or setting suggestion is executed. You may decide whether or not.

(Modification 2)
In Examples 2 to 4 of the feature unit 103SG of the above-described embodiment, the variable display effect can be executed twice during one variable display, and the variable display is started for the fluctuation patterns of the normal reach and the super reach. The present invention exemplifies a mode in which the variable display effect can be executed in the first period between the timing and the start timing of the reach effect of the normal reach and the second period after the first period. The effect is not limited to the above, and the effect during variable display may be executed three or more times during one variable display. In addition, by temporarily stopping the decorative symbol during the variable display of the decorative symbol and then restarting the variable display during the multiple variable display effects, one variable display can be simulated multiple times. It may be executed at the timing corresponding to the re-variation of the decorative pattern in the variation pattern accompanied by the pseudo-continuous effect.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8-38 as a modification 2, from the start timing of the variable display to the start timing of the reach effect of the normal reach for all the fluctuation patterns of non-reach / small hit, normal reach, and super reach. Therefore, the first period before the temporary stop of the first decorative symbol, and the second period after the first period, which corresponds to the revariable display period after the first temporary stop of the decorative symbol. It is possible to execute the effect during variable display in the third period, which is later than the second period and corresponds to the revariable display period after the third temporary stop of the decorative symbol.

In the second modification, the first period is exemplified before the temporary stop of the first decorative symbol, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first period is the first time. The second period is executed according to the revariable display in the temporary stop of the decorative symbol, the second period is executed in response to the revariable display in the temporary stop of the second decorative symbol, and the third period is executed in response to the revariable display in the temporary stop of the decorative symbol. It may be executed according to the revariable display.

In the second modification, in the above-mentioned variable display effect determination process, any of the set values 1 to 6 set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set for the first period regardless of which the fluctuation pattern is. Variable display is being performed according to whether it is set to. For the second and third periods, variable display is being performed based on the set value only when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach. Executes the process of determining the type of effect.

Specifically, in the first period, the effect control CPU 120 determines the execution of the setting suggestion at a rate of 100% regardless of the fluctuation pattern (the execution of the reach notice is not determined). It should be noted that the larger the set value is in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the higher the execution rate of the setting suggestion (high) is set. In the second period, only when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach, the execution of the reach notice is determined at a rate of 40%, and the execution of the setting suggestion is determined at a rate of 60%. It should be noted that the larger the set value is in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the higher the execution rate of the setting suggestion (high) is set. In the third period, only when the fluctuation pattern is normal reach or super reach, the execution of the reach notice is determined at a rate of 100%, and the execution of the setting suggestion is not determined. It should be noted that the larger the set value is in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the higher the execution rate of the setting suggestion (high) is set.

In addition, while the ratio of determining the setting suggestion in the second period and the third period is set to be lower than the ratio of determining the setting suggestion in the first period, the reach notice is determined in the first period. By setting so that the ratio for determining the reach notice in the second period or the third period is higher than the ratio, the reach notice is more likely to be executed than the setting suggestion as the variable display effect is repeatedly executed. Become.

As described above, in the present modification 2, when the variable display effect is executed in the first period, one of the effect patterns PT-1 to PT-7 corresponding to the setting suggestion is determined, and the second period and the second period and the second. When the variable display effect is executed in the three periods, one of the effect patterns PT-1 to PT-9 is determined based on at least the fluctuation pattern. That is, since the judgment criteria when the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect mode of the predetermined effect differs between the first period and the second period or the third period, it is possible to prevent the effect during variable display from becoming monotonous.

More specifically, the fluctuation pattern accompanied by the pseudo-continuous effect is a fluctuation pattern in which the expectation of a big hit increases as the number of revariable displays increases in the order of 1, 2, 3, .... Therefore, in the first period corresponding to the first re-variable display, there is a high possibility that the fluctuation pattern is not super reach, so the setting suggestion is given priority over the reach notice, and the second re-variable display is performed. In the second period corresponding to the display, it is highly possible that the fluctuation pattern is not non-reach, but there is a possibility of normal reach, so the setting suggestion is given priority over the reach notice, and the third revariation is performed. In the third period corresponding to the display, since the fluctuation pattern has a high possibility of super reach, the reach notice is executed with priority over the setting suggestion.

By doing so, it is possible to suggest the setting while suppressing the frequent occurrence of reach notice and the decrease in the reliability of the reach notice in the case of a fluctuation pattern accompanied by one or two pseudo-continuous productions. On the other hand, it is possible to prevent the player's expectation for a big hit from being lowered due to frequent setting suggestions in the case of a fluctuation pattern accompanied by three pseudo-continuous effects.

Further, in the present modification 2, in the first period when the jackpot reliability is the lowest, the execution of the setting suggestion is determined in preference to the reach notice according to the set value regardless of the fluctuation pattern, so that the setting suggestion is preferable. On the other hand, in the second period and the third period when the jackpot reliability is higher than the first period, the execution of the reach notice is set according to the fluctuation pattern of normal reach or super reach than the suggestion. Since the decision is given priority, the player's expectation for the big hit can be suitably increased.

In the second modification, the mode in which the execution of the setting suggestion is determined at a rate of 100% is illustrated in the first period, but the execution of the setting suggestion is determined at a higher rate than the reach notice in the first period. If so, it does not have to determine the execution of the setting suggestion at a rate of 100%. Further, in the second period, the embodiment in which the execution of the setting suggestion is determined at a higher rate than the reach notice is illustrated, but the execution of the reach notice may be determined at a higher rate than the setting suggestion. Further, in the third period, the form in which the execution of the reach notice is determined at a rate of 100% is illustrated, but in the third period, if the execution of the reach notice is determined at a rate higher than the setting suggestion, the reach notice is announced. It does not have to determine execution at a 100% rate.

Further, in the present modification 2, in the first period, the execution of the setting suggestion is prioritized over the reach notice according to the set value regardless of the fluctuation pattern, and in the second period and the third period, the fluctuation pattern is determined. Although the embodiment in which the execution of the reach notice is determined in preference to the setting suggestion according to the normal reach or the super reach is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first period and the second period are not limited thereto. Then, regardless of the fluctuation pattern, the execution of the setting suggestion is prioritized over the reach notice according to the set value, and in the third period, the reach notice is executed according to the fluctuation pattern being normal reach or super reach. May be prioritized over the setting suggestion.

Further, in the present modification 2, the embodiment in which the execution of the setting suggestion is determined in preference to the reach notice according to the set value is exemplified in the first period, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. In the first number of times (for example, the first period or the second period), if at least the setting suggestion or the reach notice is determined according to the set value, the setting suggestion or the setting suggestion is made according to the set value and the fluctuation pattern. The reach notice may be decided.

Further, in the second modification, in the second period and the third period, the embodiment in which the execution of the reach notice is determined in preference to the setting suggestion according to the set value and the fluctuation pattern is illustrated. It is not limited, and in the second number (for example, the second period or the third period) after the first number among the plurality of times, the setting suggestion or the reach notice is determined at least according to the fluctuation pattern. If so, the setting suggestion or the reach notice may be determined according to the set value and the fluctuation pattern.

Further, in Examples 2 to 4, as the variable display effect to be executed in the first period, the setting suggestion is suggested by setting the ratio at which the execution of the setting suggestion is determined to be higher than the ratio at which the reach notice is determined. Although the embodiment in which the execution is prioritized and determined is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 8-15 as the first embodiment, the variable display to be executed in the first period is in progress. As the effect, the execution of the setting suggestion may be prioritized and determined according to the order of the processes for determining the effect type.

Further, in the second to fourth embodiments, as the variable display effect to be executed in the second period, the reach notice is announced by setting the ratio at which the execution of the reach notice is determined to be higher than the ratio at which the setting suggestion is determined. Although the embodiment in which the execution is prioritized and determined is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 8-15 as the first embodiment, the variable display to be executed in the second period is in progress. As the effect, the execution of the reach notice may be prioritized and determined according to the order of the processes for determining the effect type.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention may be changed or added without departing from the gist of the present invention. include.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, an embodiment in which the variable display effect can be executed a plurality of times in one variable display is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of reach notices and setting suggestions are provided. It may be feasible over a variable display (see means 5 of the second invention).

Specifically, the CPU 103 holds and stores information about a variable display whose execution is suspended when a start winning prize occurs (for example, a display result (including a jackpot type) or a random number value for determining a fluctuation pattern). The display result and the fluctuation pattern are pre-readed and determined based on the extracted random number value, and the determination result is transmitted to the effect control board 12 as an effect control command at the time of starting winning, so that the effect control CPU 120 can be used. When it is possible to execute the look-ahead notice effect that announces the jackpot reliability in the variable display before execution (variable display in which execution is suspended), the variable display (target fluctuation) based on the hold memory that is the target of the look-ahead notice is displayed. A reach notice or a setting suggestion as a look-ahead notice for a target change may be executed over a plurality of variable displays until the start.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 displays a plurality of images Z1 indicating the paraglider displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 in the variable display effect in a variable display of the 103SG277 at a predetermined timing. An example of a mode is to execute a process of destroying and changing the number of images Z1 corresponding to the effect patterns PT-1 to PT-9 determined in the medium effect determination process to the image Z2 indicating that the images Z1 are dropped. Is not limited to this, and when the operation of the push button 31B (or the stick controller 31A may be used) by the player is detected by the push sensor 35B, the image Z2 is changed at the timing corresponding to the operation. You may let it.

Further, when the effect control CPU 120 changes to the image Z2 at the timing corresponding to the operation by the player as described above in the variable display effect, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation valid period of the push button 31B. As the operation promotion effect for prompting, an operation promotion image (for example, a character image or a button image of "continuous hitting!") May be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 displays an operation promotion image prompting the player to operate the push button 31B when a specific operation for operating the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B during the operation valid period of the push button 31B. Regardless of whether or not the push button 31B is operated, the effect of changing the image Z1 to the image Z2 (destroying the paraglider and dropping it) can be executed according to the operation of the push button 31B, and the operation of the push button 31B is not detected. In some cases, the paraglider may be faded out without being destroyed, that is, the variable display effect may be terminated without giving a reach notice or setting suggestion.

By doing so, the player who knows the specific motion can execute the effect of changing the image Z1 to the image Z2 at a desired timing by performing the specific motion, so that the game entertainment can be improved. ..

As an operation promotion effect for encouraging the player to operate the push button 31B during the operation validity period of the push button 31B, an operation promotion image for encouraging the player to operate the push button 31B is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the variable display effect is executed without displaying the operation promotion image in the display area of the image display device 5 in which the variable display effect is executed. Even if the operation promotion effect is executed by emitting light from a light emitting unit built in or around the push button 31B provided at a position different from the display area of the image display device 5 that the player pays attention to. good. By doing so, only the player who knows the specific movement or the player who notices the light emission can see the reach notice and the setting suggestion, so that the interest of the game is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as a predetermined effect in which the effect result is an advantageous state suggestion result, a form in which a reach notice suggesting the possibility of reach is applied is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The predetermined effect, which is the result of suggesting an advantageous state, is a stop symbol notice that suggests at which symbol the variable display symbol stops, a character notice in which a character appears, and a step in which the notice image changes stepwise. Various notice effects can be applied as long as they are suggestive effects that suggest the possibility of a big hit, such as a close-up notice or a group notice in which a group of predetermined characters crosses the display area.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the variable display effect has a common effect period for the reach notice and the setting suggestion, but the effect mode differs between the reach notice and the setting suggestion (corresponding to the common effect period). It may be a separate production (specifically, the reach notice is a suggestion using a character, the setting suggestion is a suggestion by a paraglider, etc.). Then, even when the reach notice and the setting suggestion having different production modes are executed together in the same period (same timing), the reach notice may be executed with priority over the setting suggestion.

For example, the first effect image corresponding to the reach notice and the second effect image corresponding to the setting suggestion unlike the first effect image are displayed together in the display area of the image display device 5 for the same period (same timing). In this case, for example, the visibility of the first effect image is made larger than the display area of the second effect image, or the display mode such as emission color, luminance, and contrast is different. Is made higher than the visibility of the second effect image, so that the reach notice can be executed in preference to the setting suggestion.

Further, when the effect control CPU 120 can draw an image on a plurality of drawing layers, for example, the first effect image corresponding to the reach notice is drawn on the first drawing layer among the plurality of drawing layers and is set. When the second effect image corresponding to the suggestion is drawn in the second drawing layer lower than the first drawing layer, the image is drawn in the first drawing layer and the second drawing layer in the image display device 5. When the combined image and the duplicated display are displayed, the first effect image is overlapped with the second effect image, so that the visibility of the first effect image becomes higher than the visibility of the second effect image. Therefore, it is possible to execute the reach notice in preference to the setting suggestion. Further, when the second effect image is drawn on the upper first drawing layer and the first effect image is drawn on the lower second drawing layer, the opacity of the second effect image is higher than the opacity of the first effect image. By lowering the transparency (making the transparency of the second effect image higher than the transparency of the first effect image), it is possible to execute the reach notice in preference to the setting suggestion.

Further, by making the sound mode such as the volume and sound quality of the sound effect output from the speakers 8L and 8R different between the reach notice and the setting suggestion, the audibility of the sound effect corresponding to the reach notice corresponds to the setting suggestion. It may be higher than the audibility of, that is, the sound effect corresponding to the reach notice may be easier to hear than the sound effect corresponding to the setting suggestion. As a method of increasing the audibility of the sound effect corresponding to the reach notice, for example, not only the volume of the sound effect is increased, but also the volume of other sounds such as BGM is decreased to improve the audibility. May be good. It should be noted that the sound effect corresponding to the reach notice is output, but the sound effect corresponding to the setting suggestion is not output.

Further, when the effect control CPU 120 has a plurality of reproduction channels (for example, reproduction channels 0 to 31) and can execute control to output the effect sound from the speakers 8L and 8R using any of the reproduction channels. In, for example, the first effect sound corresponding to the reach notice can be reproduced on the first reproduction channel, and the second effect sound corresponding to the setting suggestion can be reproduced on the second reproduction channel different from the first reproduction channel. At the same time, when the first effect sound and the second effect sound are reproduced from different reproduction channels (first reproduction channel and second reproduction channel) at the same timing, the first effect sound reproduced in the first reproduction channel. By making the volume and sound quality different (improving) from the volume and sound quality of the second production sound played on the second playback channel, the audibility of the first production sound is made higher than the audibility of the second production sound. It is also possible to give priority to the reach notice over the setting suggestion.

Further, by making the light emitting mode such as the light emitting color, lighting mode, and brightness of the game effect lamp 9 different between the reach notice and the setting suggestion, the visibility of the light emitting mode corresponding to the reach notice is the visual recognition of the sound effect corresponding to the setting suggestion. It may be higher than the sex, that is, the light emitting mode corresponding to the reach notice may be easier to see than the light emitting mode corresponding to the setting suggestion. It should be noted that the light is turned on in response to the reach notice, but the light is turned off without being turned on in response to the setting suggestion.

That is, to execute the reach notice with priority over the setting suggestion means that the effect result is either the advantageous state suggestion result or the setting suggestion result as described in Examples 1 to 4 and Modifications 1 and 2. In some cases, not only the execution rate of the reach notice is increased, but also when the effect result is both the advantageous state suggestion result and the setting suggestion result, the effect mode such as the reach notice display, sound, and light is more than the setting suggestion effect mode. Including being prioritized. Furthermore, executing the reach notice with priority over the setting suggestion means that the execution ratio, display, and sound are such that the effect of the reach notice given to the player is higher than the effect of the setting suggestion given to the player. It also includes performing different production modes such as light, light, and movement of a movable body.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the setting suggestion, as a suggestion regarding the setting in the CPU 103, a mode suggesting which of 1 to 6 is set as the set value is exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. However, as a suggestion regarding the setting in the CPU 103, for example, the possibility that the set value has been changed or the possibility that the set value has not been changed (deferred) may be suggested.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an embodiment in which the jackpot gaming state is applied is exemplified as an example of an advantageous state advantageous for the player, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the prize ball is paid out more than in the normal state. High base state (time saving state) where conditions are likely to be satisfied, high probability gaming state (high probability state) with high probability of becoming a big hit game state, high probability low base state (latent probability change state), special reach state (for example) , Super reach, etc.), including the state where the fluctuation pattern is a fluctuation pattern based on the jackpot fluctuation pattern.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is exemplified as an example of the gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a gaming machine having a predetermined number of balls is used as the gaming machine. The number of rented balls that are circulated inside and lent out in response to the player's request for rent and the number of prize balls given according to the prize are added, while the number of game balls used for the game is subtracted. The present invention can also be applied to a so-called enclosed gaming machine that is stored and stored. In these enclosed gaming machines, points and points are given to the player instead of the game ball, and the points and points given are given to the game value.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a spherical game ball (pachinko ball) has been applied as an example of the game medium, but the present invention is not limited to the spherical game medium, and for example, a non-spherical game such as a medal. It may be a medium.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine is applied as an example of the gaming machine, but for example, the game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using the gaming value. At the same time, one game is completed by deriving the variable display result to the variable display device capable of variable display of a plurality of types of symbols, each of which can be identified, and the variable display result is derived from the variable display device. It can also be applied to slot machines where winning is possible.

Further, in the slot machine, the advantageous state for the player is a state in which a big bonus bonus or a regular bonus that increases the winning probability of a small winning combination, or a state in which an operation mode advantageous for the player is notified (for example, an AT (assist time) state). ), A state in which an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified, and a state in which the winning probability of the replay combination is increased (for example, an ART (assist replay time) state) and the like are included.

In addition, when the predetermined effect of the present invention can be executed on a slot machine, a special role such as a big bonus bonus or a regular bonus is internally won, but it is carried over to a special role when the combination of symbols is not aligned. Suggestion effects that suggest the possibility that the combination of corresponding symbols may be derived and displayed, and setting suggestions that suggest the setting values set in the slot machine can be executed over multiple games (variable display multiple times), or the AT state. It is possible to execute over a plurality of games (multiple variable displays) until the AT state or the ART state is won and the AT state or the ART state is started.

(Explanation of feature unit 023IW)
Next, the feature unit 023IW will be described.

(Variation pattern table)
FIG. 9-1 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the fluctuation pattern table in the feature unit 023IW. Of these, FIG. 9-1 (A) shows a specific example of the variation pattern table for detachment. Further, FIG. 9-1 (B) shows a specific example of the fluctuation pattern table for big hits. As shown in FIG. 9-1 (A), in this example, in the case of deviation, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns PA1 to PA7. Further, as shown in FIG. 9-1 (B), in this example, in the case of a big hit, the fluctuation pattern is determined to be one of the fluctuation patterns PB2 to PB7.

In this example, the variation pattern PA1 is a variation pattern that specifies normal variation. Further, the fluctuation patterns PA2 and PB2 are fluctuation patterns (without pseudo-ream) that specify that normal reach is executed during the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol. Further, the fluctuation patterns PA3 and PB3 are fluctuation patterns (without pseudo-ream) that specify that super reach is executed during the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol. Further, the fluctuation patterns PA4 and PB4 are fluctuation patterns that specify that pseudo-ream (once) and super reach are executed during the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol. Further, the fluctuation patterns PA5 and PB5 are fluctuation patterns that specify that pseudo-ream (twice) and super reach are executed during the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol. Further, the fluctuation patterns PA6 and PB6 are fluctuation patterns that specify that pseudo-ream (three times) and super reach are executed during the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol. Further, the fluctuation patterns PA7 and PB7 are fluctuation patterns that specify that pseudo-ream (4 times) and super reach are executed during the fluctuation display of the decorative symbol.

It should be noted that the "pseudo-ream" is a temporary stop of the pseudo-ream chance pattern (for example, a combination of "223" or "334" symbols) from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the derivation display of the display result. After the display, the variation display is executed again. This is an effect of executing the re-variation a predetermined number of times (1 to 4 times in this example). In this example, when the pseudo-ream (once) is executed, one re-variation is executed after the initial variation is executed in the variation display of the decorative symbol, and super reach is executed in the re-variation. Will be done. In addition, when the pseudo-ream (twice) is executed, in the variation display of the decorative symbol, after the initial variation is executed, the re-variation is executed twice, and the final re-variation (second re-variation) is executed. ), Super reach is executed. In addition, when the pseudo-ream (3 times) is executed, in the variation display of the decorative symbol, after the initial variation is executed, the re-variation is executed 3 times, and the final re-variation (3rd re-variation) is executed. ), Super reach is executed. In addition, when the pseudo-ream (4 times) is executed, in the variation display of the decorative symbol, after the initial variation is executed, the re-variation is executed 4 times, and the final re-variation (4th re-variation) is executed. ), Super reach is executed.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 9-1, when the super reach is executed, the expectation (reliability) for the big hit is higher than the case where the normal reach is executed. Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 9-1, when the pseudo-ream is executed, the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot is higher than the case where the pseudo-ream is not executed. Therefore, in this example, the super reach and the pseudo-ren are effects that suggest whether or not the game will be a big hit. Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 9-1, when the pseudo-ream is executed, the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot increases as the number of re-variations executed in the pseudo-ream increases. ing.

In this example, as shown in FIG. 9-1, when the pseudo-ream is executed, the case where the super reach is always executed in the final revariation is shown, but only in such an embodiment. I can't. For example, there may be a variation pattern in which the pseudo-reach is executed but the super reach is not executed during the variation display of the decorative pattern.

Next, the operation of the effect control means (effect control CPU 120) will be described.

(Variable display start setting process)
FIG. 9-2 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first reads the variable pattern command from the variable pattern command storage area (step 023IWS101). Next, the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command (effect control command for designating the variation pattern) read in step 023IWS101, and the data stored in the display result specification command storage area (that is, the received display result specification command (that is, the received display result specification command). The display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to whether or not it is a big hit, whether or not it is a small hit, and the effect control command for specifying the big hit type) (step 023IWS102). That is, by executing the process of step 023IWS102 by the effect control CPU 120, the display result of the variable display of the identification information (stop of the decorative pattern) according to the variable display pattern (variable pattern) determined by the variable display pattern determining means. A display result determining means for determining a symbol) is realized. The effect control CPU 120 stores the data indicating the determined stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. In step 023IWS102, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not it is a big hit based on the received variation pattern command, and determine the stop symbol of the decorative symbol based only on the variation pattern command. ..

In step 023IWS102, for example, when the received display result designation command indicates a probability variation jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 has a decorative symbol having the same probability variation symbol (for example, an odd number symbol) as a stop symbol. Determine the combination. Further, for example, when the received display result designation command normally indicates a big hit, the effect control CPU 120 is a combination of decorative symbols having the same non-probability variable symbols (for example, even symbols) as stop symbols. To decide. Further, for example, when the received display result designation command indicates a small hit, the small hit symbol (for example, a combination of the symbols of "135") is determined as the stop symbol. If the received display result specification command indicates an error, a combination of decorative symbols other than the above is determined. However, when accompanied by a reach effect, a combination of decorative symbols in which the two symbols on the left and right are aligned is determined.

The effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining a 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 to generate a stop symbol of the decorative symbol. decide. That is, the stop symbol is determined by selecting the data indicating the combination of the decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value corresponding to the extracted random number.

Next, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the variation pattern command for designating the variation pattern including the pseudo-ream, the effect ream and the pseudo-ream for setting the pseudo-ream to be executed during the variation display of the decorative symbol and the pseudo-ream effect are set. / Execute the advance notice continuous effect setting process (step 023IWS103).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table according to the pseudo-ream or the notice-ream effect if the variation pattern and the execution of the pseudo-ream or the notice-ream effect are set (step 023IWS104). Then, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table (step 023IWS105).

The process table is a table in which process data to be referred to when the effect control CPU 120 executes control of the effect device is set. That is, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (effect component) such as the image display device 5 according to the process data set in the process table. The process table is composed of data in which a plurality of combinations of process timer setting values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, and sound number data are collected. The display control execution data includes data and the like indicating each variation mode constituting the variation mode during the variable display time (variation time) of the variable display of the decorative symbol. Specifically, the data related to the change of the display screen of the image display device 5 is described. Further, in the process timer set value, the fluctuation time in the mode of the fluctuation is set. The effect control CPU 120 refers to the process table and controls the display control to display the decorative pattern in the variable mode set in the display control execution data only for the time set in the process timer set value. Further, the process table is stored in the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12. In addition, the process table is prepared according to each fluctuation pattern.

In the process table used to execute the effect control for the fluctuation pattern accompanied by the reach effect, the left symbol is stopped and displayed when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation, and the right symbol is stopped when the predetermined time elapses. Process data indicating that it is to be displayed is set.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 serves as an effect device (image display device 5 as an effect component, effect component 5) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound number data 1). Control of various lamps and speakers 8L, 8R as production parts) is executed (step 023IWS106).

In this feature unit 023IW, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed by the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one, while the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern command. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the above.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command in the fluctuation time timer (step 023IWS107). Then, the effect control CPU 120 updates the value of the effect process flag to “2” (step 023IWS108), and ends the variable display start setting process.

(Pseudo-ream / Notice-ream production setting process)
FIG. 9-3 is a flowchart showing a pseudo-ream / advance notice rendition effect setting process (step 023IWS103). In the pseudo-ream / advance notice rendition setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first has a variation pattern in which the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern command specifies a pseudo-ream (in this example, variation patterns PA4 to PA7 or variation patterns PB4 to It is confirmed whether or not it is PB7 (see FIG. 9-1) (step 023IWS201). If it is not a variable pattern that specifies a pseudo-ream, the pseudo-ream / advance notice rendition setting process is terminated.

If it is a variation pattern that specifies a pseudo-ream, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect type determination table according to the variation pattern as a table for determining the effect type (step 023IWS202). Then, the effect control CPU 120 performs a lottery process based on a random number using the selected effect type determination table, and determines whether the effect type is a pseudo-ream or a notice ream (step 023IWS203).

FIG. 9-4 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the effect type determination table. Of these, FIG. 9-4 (A) shows a specific example of the effect type determination table for the fluctuation patterns PA4 and PB4 (pseudo-ream (once)). Further, FIG. 9-4 (B) shows a specific example of the effect type determination table for the fluctuation patterns PA5 and PB5 (pseudo-ream (twice)). Further, FIG. 9-4 (C) shows a specific example of the effect type determination table for the fluctuation patterns PA6 and PB6 (pseudo-ream (3 times)). Further, FIG. 9-4 (D) shows a specific example of the effect type determination table for the fluctuation patterns PA7 and PB7 (pseudo-ream (4 times)). As shown in FIG. 9-4, in the effect type determination table, determination values are assigned to the pseudo-ream and the notice-ream as the effect type, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 9-4, in this example, when the pseudo-ream is specified in the fluctuation pattern, the pseudo-ream may be determined as the effect type or the advance notice ream may be executed. In this example, when the pseudo-ream is determined as the effect type, the pseudo-ream is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. On the other hand, when the notice ream is determined as the effect type, the notice ream effect is executed instead of the pseudo ream during the variable display of the decorative pattern.

The "preliminary notice continuous effect" is an effect that can be executed in a predetermined period, and is an effect in which a predetermined effect is repeated a predetermined number of times. In this example, a roulette effect (suggestion effect) is executed during the execution of the advance notice continuous effect, and a selection effect for notifying the options selected in the roulette effect is executed. Such a roulette effect is predetermined. It is executed repeatedly a number of times. In this case, in this example, the roulette effect is repeatedly executed twice when the variation pattern specifies the pseudo-ream (twice), and the roulette is performed when the variation pattern specifies the pseudo-ream (three times). The effect is repeatedly executed three times, and when the variation pattern specifies a pseudo-ream (four times), the roulette effect is repeatedly executed four times. Further, in this example, the meter display is displayed during the execution of the advance notice continuous effect, and the effect that the level of the meter display rises or does not change according to the selection result of the roulette effect option is executed.

As shown in FIG. 9-4 (A), in this example, in the case of the pseudo-ream (once), the effect type is determined to be the pseudo-ream with a probability of 100%. That is, in the pseudo-ream (once), the re-variation is executed only once, and there is no room for repeatedly executing the roulette effect, so that the advance notice ream effect is not executed.

In addition, not limited to the embodiment shown in this example, for example, even in the case of a pseudo-ream (once), the advance notice ream effect may be executed. In this case, it may be possible to execute a notice continuous effect (a notice continuous effect of no repetition) in which the roulette effect ends only once during the variable display of the decorative pattern.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 9-4 (B) to (D), in this example, in the case of the pseudo-ream (twice), the production type is determined to be the notice ream with a probability of 20% (80%). The production type is determined to be a pseudo-ream with a probability), and in the case of a pseudo-ream (3 times), the production type is determined to be a notice ream with a probability of 40% (the production type is determined to be a pseudo-ream with a probability of 60%). ), In the case of pseudo-ream (4 times), the production type is determined to be the notice ream with a probability of 60% (the production type is determined to be pseudo-ream with a probability of 40%). As described above, in this example, the execution rate of the advance notice continuous effect increases as the number of pseudo-reams increases.

Not limited to the embodiment shown in this example, for example, the execution rate of the advance notice continuous effect is set to decrease as the number of pseudo-reams increases, or the execution rate of the advance notice continuous effect is constant regardless of the number of pseudo-reams. It may be configured to be.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the effect type is determined to be pseudo-ream (step 023IWS204). When the effect type is determined to be pseudo-ream (Y in step 023IWS024), the pseudo-ream / advance notice rendition setting process is terminated. When the effect type is determined to be the advance notice sequence (N in step 023IWS204), the effect control CPU 120 selects the advance notice sequence effect pattern determination table according to the variation pattern as the table for determining the advance notice sequence effect pattern. (Step 023IWS205). Then, the effect control CPU 120 performs a lottery process based on a random number using the selected advance notice continuous effect pattern determination table, and determines the advance notice continuous effect pattern (step 023IWS206).

9-5 and 9-6 are explanatory views showing a specific example of the advance notice continuous effect pattern determination table. Of these, FIG. 9-5 (A) shows a specific example of the advance notice continuous effect pattern determination table for the fluctuation patterns PA5 and PB5 (pseudo-ream (twice)). Further, FIG. 9-5 (B) shows a specific example of the advance notice continuous effect pattern determination table for the fluctuation patterns PA6 and PB6 (pseudo-ream (3 times)). Further, FIG. 9-6 (C) shows a specific example of the advance notice continuous effect pattern determination table for the fluctuation patterns PA7 and PB7 (pseudo-ream (4 times)).

First, with reference to FIG. 9-5 (A), the advance notice continuous effect pattern determined in the case of the pseudo-ream (twice) will be described. As shown in FIG. 9-5 (A), determination values are assigned to the advance notice continuous effect patterns P11 to P14 in the advance notice continuous effect pattern determination table for the pseudo-ream (twice).

When the advance notice continuous effect pattern P11 is determined, the meter display is started from level 0 at the start of the advance notice continuous effect. Then, in the first roulette effect, option L1 (option suggesting that the meter display increases to level 1), option L2 (option suggesting that the meter display increases to level 2), and option NEXT (option suggesting that the meter display increases to level 2), and option NEXT (meter). The display level does not change, the effect that displays the roulette image including the option that suggests only the continuation of the advance notice continuous effect) is executed, and the selection effect (NEXT selection effect) that notifies that the option NEXT is selected is executed. (The level of the meter display does not change). Next, in the second roulette effect, an effect of displaying the roulette image including the option L1, the option L2, and the option NEXT is executed, and the selection effect (L1 selection effect) for notifying that the option L1 is selected is executed. Then, the meter display rises to level 1, and immediately after that, a selection effect (development selection effect) for notifying the development of super reach is executed. Then, after that, super reach is executed.

In this example, it is assumed that the level of the meter display can be changed up to level 3. Further, in this example, when the development selection effect is executed, the advance notice continuous effect ends and develops into a super reach. Therefore, the development selection effect is also an effect suggesting that the advance notice continuous effect ends.

In this example, the case where the meter display level can be changed to four levels from level 0 to level 3 is shown, but the meter display level is not limited to such a mode, for example, the meter display level is set to five or more levels. It may be configured to be variable. In this case, for example, the minimum level of the meter display is set to 0%, and the meter level can be changed to 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, and "20", "40", and "60" are configured. , "80", "100" and the like may be configured to display a roulette image including numerical display options so that the roulette effect can be executed.

When the advance notice continuous effect pattern P12 is determined, the meter display is started from level 1 at the start of the advance notice continuous effect. Next, in the first roulette effect, an effect displaying an option L2, an option L3 (an option suggesting that the meter display increases to level 3), and a roulette image including the option NEXT is executed, and the NEXT selection effect is executed. (The level of the meter display does not change). Next, in the second roulette effect, an effect of displaying the roulette image including the option L2, the option L3, and the option NEXT is executed, and the selection effect (L2 selection effect) for notifying that the option L2 is selected is executed. The meter display rises to level 2, and immediately after that, the development selection effect is executed. Then, after that, super reach is executed.

When the advance notice continuous effect pattern P13 is determined, the meter display is started from level 0 at the start of the advance notice continuous effect. Next, in the first roulette effect, an effect of displaying the roulette image including the option L1, the option L2, and the option NEXT is executed, and the NEXT selection effect is executed (the level of the meter display does not change). Next, in the second roulette effect, an effect displaying a roulette image including options L1, option L2, and option NEXT is executed, the L2 selection effect is executed, the meter display rises to level 2, and immediately after that. The development selection effect is executed. Then, after that, super reach is executed.

When the advance notice continuous effect pattern P14 is determined, the meter display is started from level 0 at the start of the advance notice continuous effect. Next, in the first roulette effect, an effect displaying a roulette image including options L1, option L2, and option NEXT is executed, the L1 selection effect is executed, the meter display rises to level 1, and immediately after that. The NEXT selection effect is executed. Next, in the second roulette effect, an effect displaying a roulette image including options L2, option L3, and option NEXT is executed, the L2 selection effect is executed, the meter display rises to level 2, and immediately after that. The development selection effect is executed. Then, after that, super reach is executed.

As shown in FIG. 9-5 (A), in this example, in the case of pseudo-ream (twice), if it is out of order, there is a 50% probability that the meter display will finally rise to level 1. (Notice continuous production pattern P11), the meter display finally rises to level 2 with a probability of 50% (notice continuous production pattern P12 to P14). On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, the meter display finally rises to level 1 with a probability of 40% (preliminary continuous production pattern P11), and the meter display finally rises to level 2 with a probability of 60% (preliminary continuous production pattern P11). Notice continuous production pattern P12 to P14). Therefore, in this example, when the meter display finally rises to level 2, the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot is higher than the case where the meter display only rises to level 1.

As shown in FIG. 9-6 (C), in this example, in the case of pseudo-ream (4 times), if it is out of order, there is a 33% probability that the meter display will finally rise to level 1. (Preliminary continuous production pattern P301), the meter display finally rises to level 2 with a 33% probability (notice continuous production pattern P302 to P306), and the meter display finally rises to level 3 with a 34% probability. (Preliminary notice continuous production pattern P307 to P314). On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, the meter display finally rises to level 1 with a probability of 5% (preliminary continuous production pattern P301), and the meter display finally rises to level 2 with a probability of 35% (preliminary continuous production pattern P301). (Preliminary continuous production patterns P302 to P306), the meter display finally rises to level 3 with a probability of 60% (notice continuous production patterns P307 to P314). Therefore, in this example, the expectation for the big hit (reliability) is the highest when the meter display finally rises to level 3, and the expectation for the next big hit when the meter display finally rises to level 2. When the (reliability) is high and the meter display finally rises only to level 1, the expectation (reliability) for the big hit is the lowest.

Further, in this example, when the NEXT selection effect is executed, the NEXT selection effect may be executed independently after the roulette effect, but the L1 selection effect or the L2 selection effect is executed after the roulette effect. Immediately after that, the NEXT selection effect may be executed continuously. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6, the NEXT selection effect is continuously executed at a higher rate immediately after the L1 selection effect than immediately after the L2 selection effect. Has been done. Further, as shown in FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6, in this example, the NEXT selection effect is not executed immediately after the L3 selection effect, so that immediately after the L1 selection effect or the L2 selection effect. In this case, the NEXT selection effect is continuously executed at a higher rate than immediately after the L3 selection effect. Therefore, in this example, the rate at which the NEXT selection effect is continuously executed immediately after the selection effect in which the level after the meter display rises is low is higher than that immediately after the selection effect in which the level after the meter display rises is high. It's getting higher.

Further, in this example, when the final roulette effect is executed, the development selection effect is continuously executed immediately after the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, and the L3 selection effect are executed. There is. In this example, as shown in FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6, the development selection effect is continuously executed at a higher rate immediately after the L3 selection effect than immediately after the L1 selection effect and the L2 selection effect. It is configured to. Further, as shown in FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6, the development selection effect is configured to be continuously executed at a higher rate immediately after the L2 selection effect than immediately after the L1 selection effect. There is. Therefore, in this example, the rate at which the development selection effect is continuously executed immediately after the selection effect with a high level after the meter display rises is higher than immediately after the selection effect with a low level after the meter display rises. It's getting higher.

In this example, in the roulette effect, the roulette image including the option L1, the option L2, the option L3, and the option NEXT is displayed corresponding to the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, the L3 selection effect, and the NEXT selection effect. Although the effect is executed, there is no case where the roulette effect is executed by displaying the roulette image including the options corresponding to the development selection effect. Therefore, in this example, the development selection effect is not executed independently after the roulette effect is executed.

Not limited to the mode shown in this example, for example, a roulette image including the option "development" can be displayed to execute the roulette effect, and after the roulette effect is executed, the development selection effect can be executed independently. It may be configured.

Further, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6, each time the NEXT selection effect is executed and the roulette effect is executed, the meter becomes higher than the level raised in the previously executed selection effect. It is configured so that the selection effect that changes the display can be executed, and the meter display does not change to a level lower than the previous time.

In addition, not limited to the embodiment shown in this example, for example, there may be a configuration in which there is a notice continuous effect pattern in which the meter display changes to a lower level than the previous time at a low rate.

Further, in this example, when the final roulette effect is executed, the development selection effect is always executed, and then the super reach is executed, but the present invention is not limited to such an aspect. For example, if there is a variation pattern in which the pseudo-ream is executed but the super reach is not executed during the variation display of the decorative pattern, the L1 selection effect or the L1 selection effect is executed when the final roulette effect is executed. , L2 selection effect, L3 selection effect may be executed but the development selection effect may not be executed.

Further, for example, when the final roulette effect is executed, not only the development selection effect but also another selection effect (for example, the intense heat selection effect) may be executed.

Further, for example, when there are a plurality of types of super reach (for example, super reach A to C), a plurality of types of development selection effects (development selection effects A to C) are provided, and any type of super reach is executed. It may be configured to suggest. For example, by differentiating the mode of character display of "development" displayed in the development selection effect (for example, display color and character font), it is configured to suggest which type of super reach is executed. You may.

Further, for example, when there are a plurality of types of super reach (for example, super reach A to C), it corresponds to which type of super reach is executed according to which level the meter display has risen. It may be configured as follows. For example, when the meter display finally rises to level 1 in the advance notice continuous production, super reach A is executed, and when the meter display finally rises to level 2, super reach B is executed, and finally. Super reach C may be configured to be executed when the meter display rises to level 3.

Further, in this example, a case is shown in which the meter display always rises to any of levels 1 to 3 in the notice continuous effect, but there seems to be a notice continuous effect pattern in which the meter display remains at level 0 and does not change. It may be configured as. Further, in this example, the case where the level of the meter display always rises when the final roulette effect is executed is shown, but the meter is not limited to such an aspect, and the meter is used when the final roulette effect is executed. It may be configured so that there is a notice continuous effect pattern in which the display does not change and only the development selection effect is executed. As such, various modes can be considered as the mode of the advance notice continuous production pattern.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 stores the advance notice continuous effect pattern determined in step 023IWS 206 in the advance notice continuous effect pattern storage area provided in the RAM 122 (step 023IWS207). Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets the advance notice continuous execution flag indicating that the advance notice continuous effect is executed (step 023IWS208), and ends the pseudo-ream / advance notice continuous effect setting process.

By executing the above processing, in this example, when the pseudo-ream is specified in the fluctuation pattern and the advance notice ream execution flag (see step 023IWS208) is set, the variable display start setting process is performed. In step 023IWS104, a process table corresponding to the advance notice sequence effect is selected, and the process of step 023IWS106 and step 023IWS305 of the variable display effect process is executed according to the selected process table, so that the advance notice sequence is performed during the variable display of the decorative symbol. The production is executed. On the other hand, if the advance notice continuous execution flag is not set, the process table corresponding to the pseudo-ream is selected in step 023IWS104 of the variable display start setting process, and step 023IWS106 and step 023IWS305 of the variable display during effect process according to the selected process table. By executing the process of, a normal pseudo-ream is executed during the variable display of the decorative pattern.

(Variable display effect processing)
FIG. 9-7 is a flowchart showing the effect processing during variable display (step S172) in the effect control process process. In the effect processing during variable display, the effect control CPU 120 first subtracts 1 from the value of the process timer (step 023IWS301) and subtracts 1 from the value of the variable time timer (step 023IWS302). When the process timer times out (step 023IWS303), the process data is switched. That is, the next set process timer setting value in the process table is set in the process timer (step 023IWS304). Further, the control state for the effect device is changed based on the display control execution data, the lamp control execution data, and the sound number data set next (step 023IWS305).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the advance notice continuous execution flag is set (step 023IWS306). If the advance notice continuous execution flag is not set, the process proceeds to step 023IWS321. If the advance notice continuous execution flag is set, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is the execution timing of the roulette effect (step 023IWS307). Whether or not the execution timing of the roulette effect has been reached can be determined, for example, by checking the value of the variable time timer set in step 023IWS107 of the variable display start setting process.

If it is the execution timing of the roulette effect (Y in step 023IWS307), the effect control CPU 120 is for effect control if the meter display is not yet displayed (if the first roulette effect is started). The CPU 120 controls the image display device 5 to start displaying the meter display at a level corresponding to the advance notice continuous effect pattern (step 023IWS308). In this case, for example, when the advance notice continuous effect pattern stored in the advance notice continuous effect pattern storage area is the advance notice continuous effect pattern P12, P202, P206, P302, P307, the image display device 5 is in the state of level 1. Controls to start displaying the meter display. Further, for example, when the advance notice continuous effect pattern stored in the advance notice continuous effect pattern storage area is the advance notice continuous effect pattern P207, P308, the image display device 5 starts displaying the meter display in the state of level 2. Take control. Further, for example, when the advance notice continuous effect pattern stored in the advance notice continuous effect pattern storage area is another advance notice continuous effect pattern, the control to start the display of the meter display in the state of level 0 in the image display device 5. (See FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 switches to the process data for the roulette effect according to the advance notice continuous effect pattern and the number of times the roulette effect is performed (step 023IWS309). Then, the effect control CPU 120 restarts the process timer (step 023IWS310). In this case, as an example, considering the case where the advance notice continuous effect pattern stored in the advance notice continuous effect pattern storage area is the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, if the first roulette effect is to be executed, the option L1 If you want to switch to the process data for displaying the roulette image including option L2 and option NEXT and executing the roulette effect, and if you want to execute the second or third roulette effect, option L2, option L3, and option If you switch to the process data for displaying the roulette image including NEXT and executing the roulette effect, and if you want to execute the fourth roulette effect, display the roulette image including option L3 and option NEXT and perform the roulette effect. Switch to process data for execution (see Figure 9-6). Then, the process proceeds to step 023IWS321.

If it is not the execution timing of the roulette effect (N in step 023IWS307), the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is the execution timing of the selection effect (step 023IWS311). Whether or not it is the execution timing of the selection effect can be determined, for example, by checking the value of the fluctuation time timer set in step 023IWS107 of the variable display start setting process.

If it is the execution timing of the selection effect (Y of step 023IWS311), the effect control CPU 120 uses the process data for the roulette effect according to the advance notice continuous effect pattern and the selection effect after the number of roulette effects. Switch (step 023IWS312). Then, the effect control CPU 120 restarts the process timer (step 023IWS313). In this case, as an example, considering the case where the advance notice continuous effect pattern stored in the advance notice continuous effect pattern storage area is the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, if the selection effect after the first roulette effect is executed. , Switch to the process data for executing the L1 selection effect and the NEXT selection effect, and if the selection effect after the second roulette effect is executed, switch to the process data for executing only the NEXT selection effect, 3 If you want to execute the selection effect after the 4th roulette effect, switch to the process data for executing the L2 selection effect and NEXT selection effect, and if you want to execute the selection effect after the 4th roulette effect, Switch to the process data for executing the L3 selection effect and the development selection effect (see FIG. 9-6).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is the timing for changing the level of the meter display displayed on the image display device 5 (step 023IWS314). If it is the timing of changing the level of the meter display, the effect control CPU 120 is displayed on the image display device 5 according to the case of executing the advance notice continuous effect pattern and the selection effect after the number of times of the roulette effect. Control is performed to update the level of the existing meter display (step 023IWS315). In this case, as an example, considering the case where the advance notice continuous effect pattern stored in the advance notice continuous effect pattern storage area is the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, if the selection effect after the first roulette effect is executed. , It is determined that it is the timing to change the meter display from level 0 to level 1, and the control is performed to raise the level of the meter display displayed on the image display device 5 to level 1. Further, when executing the selection effect after the third roulette effect, it is determined that it is the timing to change the meter display from level 1 to level 2, and the level of the meter display displayed on the image display device 5 is determined. Is controlled to be displayed ascending to level 2. Further, when executing the selection effect after the fourth roulette effect, it is determined that it is the timing to change the meter display from level 2 to level 3, and the level of the meter display displayed on the image display device 5 is determined. Is controlled to be displayed ascending to level 3. On the other hand, when the selection effect after the second roulette effect is executed, it is determined that it is not the timing to change the level of the meter display, and the process of step 023IWS315 is not executed (see FIG. 9-6). Then, the process proceeds to step 023IWS321.

If it is not the execution timing of the selection effect (N in step 023IWS311), the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not it is the end timing of the advance notice continuous effect (step 023IWS316). It should be noted that whether or not it is the end timing of the advance notice continuous effect can be determined, for example, by checking the value of the variable time timer set in step 023IWS107 of the variable display start setting process.

If it is the end timing of the advance notice continuous effect (Y in step 023IWS316), the effect control CPU 120 switches to the process data for super reach (step 023IWS317). Then, the effect control CPU 120 restarts the process timer (step 023IWS318). Further, the effect control CPU 120 controls to erase the meter display displayed on the image display device 5 (step 023IWS319). Further, the effect control CPU 120 resets the advance notice continuous execution flag (step 023IWS320). Then, the process proceeds to step 023IWS321.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the fluctuation time timer has timed out (step 023IWS321). If the variable time timer has timed out, the effect control CPU 120 updates the value of the effect process flag to "3" (step 023IWS322), and ends the variable display effect process.

(Example of directing a series of notices)
Next, the production mode of the advance notice continuous production will be described. 9-8 to 9-12 are explanatory views for explaining a specific example of the effect mode of the advance notice continuous effect. In FIGS. 9-8 to 9-12, the display screens change in the order of (A), (B), (C) ....

In this example, as shown in FIG. 9-8 (A), it is assumed that the image display device 5 starts the variation display of the decorative symbol on the left, middle, and right based on the reception of the new variation pattern command. .. Further, in this example, in the pseudo-ream / advance notice rendition setting process based on the reception of the variation pattern command for specifying the pseudo-ream (4 times) and the variation pattern (variation pattern PA7, PB7) for executing the super reach. It is assumed that the effect type is determined to be the advance notice sequence, and the advance notice sequence effect pattern P313 is determined as the advance notice sequence effect pattern.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9-8 (B), in the image display device 5, a symbol having the same decorative symbol on the left and right (in this example, the symbol “7”) is stopped and displayed, and the image display device 5 shifts to the reach state. Next, when the execution timing of the first roulette effect of the advance notice continuous effect is reached, the display of the meter display 023IW11 is started in the image display device 5 in the state of level 0, as shown in FIG. 9-8 (C). See step 023IWS308). Further, as shown in FIG. 9-8 (C), based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, the roulette image 023IW12 including the option L1, the option L2, and the option NEXT is displayed, and the roulette effect is started. (See step 023IWS309). In this example, when the first roulette effect is started and the advance notice continuous effect is started, as shown in FIG. 9-8 (C), the variable display of the decorative pattern is displayed on the display screen of the image display device 5. It is reduced to the upper left corner of.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9-8 (D), based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, in the first roulette effect, the effect is as if the ball was inserted in the option L1 and the option L1 was selected. This is executed, and as shown in FIG. 9-9 (E), the image 023IW13 notifying that the option L1 is selected is displayed, and the L1 selection effect is executed (see step 023IWS312). Further, as shown in FIG. 9-9 (E), the level of the meter display 023IW11 is displayed as increased to level 1 (see step 023IWS315). Further, immediately after the L1 selection effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 9-9 (F), the image 023IW14 (in this example, the character display of "NEXT" is included to notify that the advance notice continuous effect is continued. Image) is displayed and the NEXT selection effect is executed (see step 023IWS312).

Next, when it comes to the execution timing of the second roulette effect of the advance notice continuous effect, as shown in FIG. 9-9 (G), the option L2, the option L3, and the option NEXT are based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313. The roulette image 023IW15 including the above is displayed, and the roulette effect is started (see step 023IWS309). Since the level of the meter display 023IW11 has already changed to level 1 due to the execution of the first roulette effect, as shown in FIG. 9-9 (G), in the second roulette effect, the combination of options is available. It has changed to option L2 and option L3 (further, option NEXT) instead of option L1 and option L2.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9-9 (H), based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, in the second roulette effect, the effect is as if the ball entered the option NEXT and the option NEXT was selected. This is executed, and as shown in FIG. 9-10 (I), the image 023IW16 notifying that the option NEXT has been selected is displayed, and the NEXT selection effect is executed (see step 023IWS312). In this case, since the NEXT selection effect is only executed independently, the level of the meter display 023IW11 does not change as shown in FIG. 9-10 (I).

In this example, when the NEXT selection effect is executed, the NEXT selection effect is executed immediately after another selection effect such as the L1 selection effect as shown in FIGS. 9-9 (E) and (F). In some cases, as shown in FIG. 9-10 (I), the NEXT selection effect may be executed independently, but it is executed independently with the NEXT selection effect executed immediately after the other selection effect. The effect mode is different from that of the NEXT selection effect. In this example, when the NEXT selection effect is executed immediately after another selection effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 9-9 (F), the display color of the effect image around the character display of "NEXT" is displayed. Is displayed in white, whereas when the NEXT selection effect is executed independently, for example, as shown in FIG. 9-10 (I), the effect image around the character display of "NEXT" is displayed. The display color is displayed in red. Not limited to the mode in which the display colors are different, for example, the shape of the image displayed in the NEX selection effect may be different or the display size may be different. Further, for example, the effect sound to be output when the NEXT selection effect is executed may be configured to be different, and various aspects can be considered.

Further, in this example, when the NEXT selection effect is executed immediately after the other selection effect, the total effect period of the effect period of the other selection effect and the effect period of the NEXT selection effect, and the NEXT selection effect alone are performed. It is configured so that the effect period to be executed is the same period. In this case, for example, the display time of the notification image 023IW14 when the NEXT selection effect is executed immediately after another selection effect is shorter than the display time of the notification image 023IW16 when the NEXT selection effect is executed independently. Therefore, the total production period may be configured to be the same period.

Next, when it comes to the execution timing of the third roulette effect of the advance notice continuous effect, as shown in FIG. 9-10 (J), the option L2, the option L3, and the option NEXT are based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313. The roulette image 023IW15 including the above is displayed, and the roulette effect is started (see step 023IWS309).

Next, as shown in FIG. 9-10 (K), based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, in the third roulette effect, the effect is as if the ball entered the option L2 and the option L2 was selected. This is executed, and as shown in FIG. 9-10 (L), the image 023IW17 notifying that the option L2 has been selected is displayed and the L2 selection effect is executed (see step 023IWS312). Further, as shown in FIG. 9-10 (L), the level of the meter display 023IW11 is displayed as increased to level 2 (see step 023IWS315). Further, immediately after the L2 selection effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 9-11 (M), the image 023IW14 (in this example, the character display of "NEXT" is included to notify that the advance notice continuous effect is continued. Image) is displayed and the NEXT selection effect is executed (see step 023IWS312).

Next, when it comes to the execution timing of the fourth roulette effect of the advance notice continuous effect, as shown in FIG. 9-11 (N), the roulette image including the option L3 and the option NEXT is based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313. 023IW18 is displayed and the roulette effect is started (see step 023IWS309). Since the level of the meter display 023IW11 has already changed to level 2 due to the execution of the third roulette effect, as shown in FIG. 9-11 (N), in the fourth roulette effect, the combination of options is available. Instead of option L2 and option L3, only option L3 (further, option NEXT) is changed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9-11 (O), based on the advance notice continuous effect pattern P313, in the fourth roulette effect, the effect is as if the ball entered the option L3 and the option L3 was selected. This is executed, and as shown in FIG. 9-11 (P), the image 023IW19 notifying that the option L3 is selected is displayed, and the L3 selection effect is executed (see step 023IWS312). Further, as shown in FIG. 9-11 (P), the level of the meter display 023IW11 is displayed as an increase to the level 3 (see step 023IWS315). Immediately after the L3 selection effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 9-12 (Q), an image 023IW20 (in this example, an image including the character display of "development") for notifying that the super reach is developed (in this example, an image including the character display of "development"). ) Is displayed and the development selection effect is executed (see step 023IWS312).

Then, when it is the end timing of the advance notice continuous production and the development timing to the super reach, as shown in FIG. 9-12 (R), the predetermined character image 023IW21 is displayed and characters such as "super reach rush" are displayed. Is displayed and super reach is started (see step 023IWS317). Further, the meter display 023IW11 is erased, and the advance notice continuous effect is terminated (see steps 023IWS319 and S320).

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 9-8 to 9-12, "L1", "L2", "L3", and "L3" are displayed as options in the roulette images 023IW12,15,18 in the roulette effect. The display such as "NEXT" and the display such as "L1", "L2", "L3", and "NEXT" displayed in each notification image 023IW13, 14, 16, 17, 19 in each selection effect are sizes. Although it shows the case where is displayed in the same mode only by being different, it is not limited to such a mode. For example, "L1" and "L2" in exactly the same manner, "L3", may be displayed such as "NEXT", "L1" and "L2" in different colors and character font, "L3", " "NEXT" or the like may be displayed.

Further, in this example, the meter display 023IW11 is started to be displayed at the timing when the advance notice continuous effect is started, and the meter display 023IW11 is ended at the timing when the advance notice continuous effect is finished individually for each variation display of the decorative symbol. However, it is not limited to such an aspect. For example, the meter display 023IW11 may be continuously displayed over a plurality of variable displays. Further, in this case, for example, instead of resetting the level of the meter display 023IW11 to 0 for each fluctuation display and then executing the advance notice continuous effect, the level changed in the previous advance notice continuous effect executed in the previous variable display is inherited. May be configured to display the level of the meter display 023IW11.

Further, in this example, when the roulette effect is executed, the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, and the L3 selection effect are unconditionally executed, and the level of the meter display 023IW11 changes. I can't. For example, when executing the roulette effect, the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, and the L3 selection effect are executed on condition that there is an operation from an operation means such as the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, and the level of the meter display 023IW11. May be configured to change. Further, in this case, if there is no operation from the operating means within the operation valid period, for example, the level of the meter display 023IW11 may be forcibly changed at the timing when the operation valid period has elapsed. .. Further, when there is no operation from the operating means within the operation valid period, for example, the level of the meter display 023IW11 may be forcibly changed to the final level at the timing of ending the advance notice continuous effect.

Further, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 9-8 to 9-12, when the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, and the L3 selection effect are executed in the advance notice continuous effect, the L1 selection effect and the L2 selection effect are executed. , Even if the NEXT selection effect is executed immediately after the L3 selection effect, or the development selection effect is executed immediately after the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, or the L3 selection effect, the notification image is displayed. The L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, and the L3 selection effect are executed according to the same effect mode, only the character display of "L1", "L2", or "L3" is different (FIG. 9-9 (FIG. 9-9). E), FIG. 9-10 (L), FIG. 9-11 (P)).

(Modification example)
It should be noted that the feature unit 023IW shows a case where the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, the L3 selection effect, the NEXT selection effect, and the development selection effect can be executed as the selection effect in the advance notice continuous effect. Not limited to such an embodiment, other selection effects may be configured to be feasible. FIG. 9-13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a modified example of the effect mode of the advance notice continuous effect. In the example shown in FIG. 9-13, as shown in FIG. 9-13 (A), the notification image 023IW22 including the character display such as "chance" is displayed and the chance selection effect can be executed in the advance notice continuous effect. Has been done. Further, when the chance selection effect is executed, immediately after that, the NEXT selection effect is executed as shown in FIG. 9-13 (B), and then a further roulette effect can be executed to continue the hold continuous effect. Is.

In the modified example shown in FIG. 9-13, the chance selection effect is irrespective of whether or not it is a big hit, whether or not super reach is executed, and whether or not the level of the meter display changes. It is an unconditionally feasible production. Therefore, in the modified example shown in FIG. 9-13, the NEXT selection effect is simply executed immediately after the chance selection effect, regardless of the reliability or the like. Not limited to such an aspect, the chance selection effect and the NEXT selection effect may be simultaneously executed in parallel.

Further, the modified example shown in FIG. 9-13 shows a case where the chance selection effect is executed as an effect included in the advance notice continuous effect, but the present invention is not limited to such an aspect. For example, even if a chance effect for displaying an image including a character display such as "chance" is executed in the same manner as in FIG. 9-13 (A), regardless of the presence or absence of a pseudo-ream or the advance notice rendition effect. good. Even in the case of such a configuration, immediately after the execution of the chance effect, the NEXT effect for displaying an image including a character display such as "NEXT" can be executed in the same manner as in FIG. 9-13 (B). do it.

In addition, the above-mentioned chance effect and NEXT effect are executed for the effect that is continuously executed according to the continuous operation from the operation means such as the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B, regardless of the pseudo-ream or the advance notice rendition. You may apply the configuration to be used. If it is applied in the case of configuring to execute the production many times in succession, it is possible to easily give a gap between the productions by executing the chance production regardless of the jackpot reliability and the reach reliability. .. Further, since the continuous effect can be executed without considering the jackpot reliability and the reach reliability, it is possible to facilitate the setting when executing the continuous effect.

As described above, according to the feature unit 023IW, it is possible to display a specific display (for example, meter display 023IW11) whose effect mode can be changed stepwise, and a specific effect that can be executed in a predetermined period (for example, for example). It is possible to execute the notice series production). Further, in the specific effect, at least the first special effect (for example, the L1 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-9 (E), the L2 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-10 (L), and the figure) that change the effect mode of the specific display. The L3 selection effect shown in 9-11 (P) and the second special effect (for example, FIGS. 9-9 (F), 9-10 (I) and 9-11) suggesting that the specific effect continues. A plurality of types of special effects including the NEXT selection effect shown in (M) can be executed, and the second special effect can be executed when the first special effect is executed (FIG. 9-9 (E), (F), see FIGS. 9-10 (L) and 9-11 (M)). Further, as compared with the case where the effect mode of the specific display is changed to the first stage in the first special effect, the effect mode of the specific display is changed to the second stage, which is lower than the first stage, in the first special effect. In some cases, the second special effect is performed at a high rate (see FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6). Therefore, when the effect mode of the specific display is changed to the second stage with a lower stage in the first special effect, the second special effect is likely to be executed in addition to the first special effect, so that the effect is changed to the second stage with a lower stage. Even if it is made to do so, it is possible to give a sense of security, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest when performing a specific effect.

In this example, the "specific effect" is an effect that can be executed in a predetermined period, and is an effect in which a predetermined effect is repeated a predetermined number of times. In this example, the specific effect (specifically, the advance notice continuous effect) includes a suggestion effect (in this example, a roulette effect) that is repeatedly executed, and each special effect (in this example, a roulette effect) that is executed for each suggestion effect. , Selection effect) and display that changes the effect mode of the specific display (in this example, the level of the meter display 023IW11).

Further, in this example, as a case of "execution of the second special effect when the first special effect is executed", the NEXT selection effect is executed immediately after the L1 selection effect or the L2 selection effect after the roulette effect is executed. The case is shown, but it is not limited to such an embodiment. For example, after executing the roulette effect, the NEXT selection effect may be executed in parallel with the L1 selection effect and the L2 selection effect.

Further, in this example, the case where the meter display 023IW11 is displayed as the "specific display" is shown, but the present invention is not limited to such a mode. For example, active display, hold display, character display, item display, etc. are displayed as specific effects, and the display color, shape, size, etc. of active display, hold display, character display, item display, etc. change as the advance notice continuous effect progresses. It may be configured to do so.

Further, according to the present feature unit 023IW, a suggestion effect suggesting which of a plurality of types of special effects is to be executed in the specific effect (for example, FIGS. 9-8 (C), (D), The roulette effect shown in FIGS. 9-9 (G), (H), 9-10 (J), (K), and 9-11 (N), (O) can be executed. Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest when performing a specific effect.

In this example, the "suggestion effect" specifically refers to the part of the roulette effect in the notice series effect. In addition to the one shown in this example, for example, as a "suggestion effect", an image imitating darts may be displayed and an effect such that an arrow sticks in one of the options may be executed. Any format may be used as long as it is an effect that suggests which of the plurality of types of special effects is to be executed.

Further, according to the present feature unit 023IW, as a special effect, a third special effect (for example, the development selection effect shown in FIG. 9-12 (Q)) suggesting that the specific effect ends can be executed. Further, as the suggestion effect, an effect suggesting which special effect of the first special effect or the second special effect is to be executed is executed, and the suggestion effect does not suggest the execution of the third special effect (for example,). 9-8 (C), (D), 9-9 (G), (H), 9-10 (J), (K), and 9-11 (N), (O). As described above, in the roulette effect, the roulette image including the options corresponding to the development selection effect may not be displayed). Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest due to the execution of the third special effect in the specific effect.

Further, according to the modification shown in FIG. 9-13, as a special effect, a third special effect (for example, the development selection effect shown in FIG. 9-12 (Q)) suggesting that the specific effect ends can be executed. Is. Further, it is possible to execute the fourth special effect (for example, the chance selection effect shown in FIG. 9-13 (A)), which is different from the first special effect, the second special effect, and the third special effect. 4 Whenever the special effect is executed, the second special effect is executed (see FIG. 9-13 (B)). Therefore, it is possible to improve the interest when performing a specific effect.

Further, according to the present feature unit 023IW, each time the second special effect is executed in the specific effect, the specific display is specified at a higher stage than the effect mode of the specific display changed in the first special effect executed last time. The first special effect that changes the display effect mode is executed (for example, as shown in FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6, each time the NEXT selection effect is executed and the roulette effect is executed, the previously executed selection is executed. It is configured so that the selection effect that changes the meter display to a level higher than the raised level in the effect can be executed, and the meter display does not change to a level lower than the previous time). Therefore, the expectation of the player can be increased every time the second special effect is executed in the specific effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 023IW, a specific display (for example, meter display 023IW11) whose effect mode can be changed stepwise can be displayed, and a specific effect (for example, a notice continuous effect) that can be executed in a predetermined period can be displayed. It is feasible. Further, in the specific effect, at least the first special effect (for example, the L1 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-9 (E), the L2 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-10 (L), and the figure) that change the effect mode of the specific display. The L3 selection effect shown in 9-11 (P) and the second special effect (for example, FIGS. 9-9 (F), 9-10 (I) and 9-11) suggesting that the specific effect continues. Execute a plurality of types of special effects including the NEXT selection effect shown in (M) and the third special effect (for example, the development selection effect shown in FIG. 9-12 (Q)) suggesting that the specific effect ends. It is possible, and when the first special effect is executed, the second special effect or the third special effect can be executed (FIGS. 9-9 (E), (F), FIGS. 9-10 (L), and FIG. 9). -11 (M), FIG. 9-11 (P) and FIG. 9-12 (Q)). Further, in the case of changing the effect mode of the specific display to the first stage in the first special effect, it is compared with the case of changing the effect mode of the specific display to the second stage, which is lower than the first stage in the first special effect. Then, the third special effect is executed at a high rate (see FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6). Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest when performing a specific effect.

Further, when the effect mode of the specific display is changed to the first stage with a higher stage in the first special effect, the third special effect suggesting the end is likely to be executed in addition to the first special effect, so that the stage is conversely. Expectations can be sustained even when changing to the lower second stage.

Further, in this example, as a case of "executing the third special effect when executing the first special effect", after executing the roulette effect, the development selection is performed immediately after the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, and the L3 selection effect. The case where the production is executed is shown, but it is not limited to such an aspect. For example, after executing the roulette effect, the development selection effect may be executed in parallel with the L1 selection effect, the L2 selection effect, and the L3 selection effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 023IW, a specific display (for example, meter display 023IW11) whose effect mode can be changed stepwise can be displayed, and a specific effect (for example, a notice continuous effect) that can be executed in a predetermined period can be displayed. It is feasible. Further, in the specific effect, at least the first special effect (for example, the L1 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-9 (E), the L2 selection effect shown in FIG. 9-10 (L), and the figure) that change the effect mode of the specific display. The L3 selection effect shown in 9-11 (P) and the second special effect (for example, FIGS. 9-9 (F), 9-10 (I) and 9-11) suggesting that the specific effect continues. Execute a plurality of types of special effects including the NEXT selection effect shown in (M) and the third special effect (for example, the development selection effect shown in FIG. 9-12 (Q)) suggesting that the specific effect ends. It is possible, and when the first special effect is executed, the second special effect or the third special effect can be executed (FIGS. 9-9 (E), (F), FIGS. 9-10 (L), and FIG. 9). -11 (M), FIG. 9-11 (P) and FIG. 9-12 (Q)). Further, regardless of whether the special effect of the second special effect or the third special effect is executed, the first special effect can be executed by the same effect mode (FIGS. 9-9 (E), (F), FIGS. 9-10 (L) and 9-11 (M), 9-11 (P) and 9-12 (Q)). Further, the second special effect or the third special effect is executed at different ratios depending on the stage in which the effect mode of the specific display is changed in the first special effect (see FIGS. 9-5 and 9-6). ). Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest when performing a specific effect.

Further, regardless of whether the special effect of the second special effect or the third special effect is executed, the first special effect can be executed by the same effect mode, so that the first special effect is executed. It is possible to pay attention only to the change in the effect mode of the specific display at times, and to pay attention to the effect mode of the specific display after the change.

The configuration shown by the feature unit 023IW can be appropriately combined with the configuration shown by the feature unit 103SG. For example, a configuration for setting the set value shown in the feature unit 103SG and a configuration for executing a predetermined effect of a specific mode for suggesting the setting are appropriately combined with a configuration for executing the advance notice continuous effect shown in the feature unit 023IW. It is possible to configure it.
