The grill member 46 is formed of a punching metal having innumerable small holes. The port member 47 communicates between the curtain plate internal space 40a (enclosure 624) and the front of the outer frame 2 via the grill member 46 by two cylinders. The port member 47 has two cylinders formed with a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined length, and resonates and amplifies the bass emitted from the main body frame speaker 622 to the rear (inside the enclosure 624) by the principle of Helmholtz resonance. Therefore, rich bass can be radiated to the front (player side) of the outer frame 2. That is, in the present embodiment, the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 is a bass reflex type, and the player can hear the deep bass.

The seal member 48 is sandwiched and compressed between the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a and the lower end of the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 in the main body frame 4 when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2.

Then, when the handle 182 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182. The drive of the 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be driven. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 182 in some way without touching the handle 182, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the player's contact. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be driven. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 182 by a method different from the original method to play the game, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. ..

Further, in the handle unit 180, when the player presses the single-shot button 193 while the player is rotating the handle 182, the single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single-shot button 193, and the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 determines. The drive of the firing solenoid 542 is stopped. As a result, the firing of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 182, and by releasing the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193, before operating the single-shot button 193. The game ball B can be driven into the game area 5a again with the driving strength.

Further, the handle unit 180 includes four first protrusions 182a, a second protrusion 182b, a third protrusion 182c, and a fourth protrusion 182d on the handle 182, and rotates the handle 182 most in the front-view clockwise direction. When the game ball B is driven into the game area 5a most strongly (so-called "right-handed"), the fourth protrusion 182d of the first protrusion 182a when the handle 182 is not rotated. Since the position is almost the same as the position, by changing the handle 182 with the fourth protrusion 182d as the first protrusion 182a, the player can maintain the handle 182 in the "right-handed" position in a comfortable state. It is possible to reduce the feeling of fatigue of the player and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

It is not detected by the detection sensor 381. That is, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is not detected.

When the elevating drive gear 368 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367 in this descending position, the elevating cam is driven via the driven gear 369 meshing with the elevating drive gear 368. The gear member 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view, and the elevating cam member 371 connected to the elevating cam drive gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the elevating cam member 371 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the cam portion 371a seen in the front in FIG. 62 moves to the right, and the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 moves from the locking portion 371c to the third. One cam 371b rolls to the left portion of the locking portion 371c, and the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

Then, when the guide pin 364d that rolls relatively to the left along the first cam 371b with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 is located from the left end of the first cam 371b to the second cam 371d side, the second cam Since the second cam 371d extends vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the guide pin 364d moves upward along the second cam 371d due to the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the guide pin 364d and the guide pin 364d. At the same time, the elevating base 364 rises and is in the ascending position.

In the raised position, as shown in FIG. 62B, the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is in contact with the second cam 371d of one cam portion 371a and the third cam 371e of the remaining cam portion 371a. It is in a state. In this state, the drive of the operation button elevating drive motor 367 is temporarily stopped.

In the raised position, the upper end of the vertical wall portion 364c of the elevating base 364 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and further upward movement of the elevating base 364 is restricted. Further, in the raised position, the positional relationship between the central button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) in the lowered position is maintained, and the central button cover 375 is maintained. The entire pressing operation unit 303 including the outer peripheral button cover 380 is moved upward, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 projects upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380.

When the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are moved to the ascending position in the state of being assembled to the effect operation unit 300, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are in a state of protruding more than the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330 (FIG. 65 (b) and the like). reference).

When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the button spring 374 in this raised position, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 are attached with the button spring 374. It moves downward against the force, and the center button body 373 comes into contact with the elevating base 364. In the state where the center button main body 373 is in contact with the elevating base 364, the press detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 is in a state of protruding downward from the elevating base 364, but the elevating base 364 is the button unit base 361. The press detection piece 373e is not detected by the press detection sensor 381 because it is separated from the press detection piece 373e.

When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 resist the urging force of the button spring 374. After the center button body 373 abuts on the elevating base 364, the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361.

When the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361, the elevating base 364 is in the lowered position, and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is also in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364.

In this way, when the elevating base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361 while the center button body 373 abuts on the elevating base 364, the press detection piece 373e of the center button body 373 protruding downward from the elevating base 364e. Is detected by the press detection sensor 381, and the press of the center button cover 375 (center press operation unit 303a) is detected.

On the other hand, when the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is pressed downward by a force higher than the urging force of the elevating spring 365 in the raised position, the elevating base 364 via the outer peripheral button cover 380 raises and lowers the spring. It moves downward against the urging force of 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361. In this state, the outer peripheral button cover 380 is in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364, but since the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) protrudes upward due to the urging force of the button spring 374, the center button main body The press detection piece 373e of the 373 does not protrude downward from the elevating base 364, and the press detection piece 373e is not detected by the press detection sensor 381.

To return the center button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (pressing operation unit 303) from the ascending position to the descending position, the elevating cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. Then, in FIG. 62B, the third cam 371e, which is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364, moves to the right (direction of the guide pin 364d), so that the third cam The guide pin 364d is pressed downward by the 371e, and the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

Then, when the guide pin 364d moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e to the first cam 371b side with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371, the downward movement of the elevating base 364 stops and the guide pin 364d moves to the first cam.

This vibration is different from the vibration caused by the vibration speaker 354, and only the rotation operation unit 302 vibrates.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is not only rotated by the operation ring drive motor 342, but can also be rotated by the player. When the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 of the rotation drive unit 340 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the left side view via the transmission gear 350 for the operation ring and rotates. When the operation unit 302 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view. The transmission detection gear member 345 detects rotation by two sensors, a first rotation detection sensor 347 and a second rotation detection sensor 348.

The rotation of the transmission detection gear member 345 is detected by detecting a plurality of detection pieces 345b by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348. More specifically, the distance between the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 separated in the circumferential direction is equal to the distance between the plurality of detection pieces 345b arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. , The interval is not an integral multiple. As a result, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 are configured so as not to detect the detection piece 345b at the same timing.

In the present embodiment, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the clockwise direction in the left side view, the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b and then the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b. do. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view, the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b, and then the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b. Detect. Therefore, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 can detect the rotation direction of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) in the order of detecting the detection piece 345b. Further, the rotation speed of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) can be detected by the detection time of the detection piece 345b in the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348.

In this way, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected, the content of the player participation type effect can be changed according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302. Further, when the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is detected, the rotation operation unit 302 is rotationally driven in the same direction as the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, so that the rotation operation can be lightened and assisted. .. Alternatively, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotationally driven in the direction opposite to the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342 to make the rotation operation heavier or give a click feeling.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337, and is formed in a shape in which an arc of more than half of a circle extends in an annular shape. ing. In other words, the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a donut shape. As shown in the figure, the rotation operation unit 302 is attached in a state where the outer peripheral surface, the upper surface, and a part of the inner peripheral surface are exposed, so that the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a shape that can be easily grasped by the player's hand. ..

As a result, the player can touch the rotation operation unit 302 from various directions, so that the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated and operated in a way that is easy for the player to do, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be operated. The sex is enhanced. Further, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated while the pressing operation unit 303 is in either the descending position or the ascending position. Since the lower surface side of the rotation operation unit 302 is attached to the operation unit base 320, the rotation operation unit 302 cannot be gripped like a steering wheel of an automobile.

As shown in FIG. 64, the effect operation unit 300 includes an effect operation ring decorative substrate 352 in which a plurality of LEDs are arranged in an annular shape below the effect operation ring 330. As a result, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be light-emitting and decorated by causing the LED of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 to emit light. Further, in the effect operation ring decorative substrate 352, since a plurality of LEDs are arranged in a ring shape along the rotation operation unit 302, the plurality of LEDs arranged in a row are sequentially arranged according to the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302. By emitting light, it is possible to illuminate and decorate only a specific portion of the rotating rotation operation unit 302. This makes it possible for the player to have the illusion that an LED (decorative substrate) is provided in the rotating rotation operation unit 302.

In the normal state of the effect operation unit 300, as shown in FIG. 65A, the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 has an upper surface thereof more than the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a descending position that protrudes slightly upward. In this state, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated, and the central pressing operation unit 303a in the pressing operation unit 303 can be pressed. When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a (center button cover 375) descends to substantially the same height as the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380), and the pressing is detected. Pressing is detected by the sensor 381.

In this normal (lowering position) state, even if the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b in the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed downward, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380) does not move downward, and the pressing is detected. No pressing is detected by the sensor 381.

In a normal state, when the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is disengaged from the cam portion 371a (first cam 371b). Then, due to the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 365, the pressing operation unit 303 vigorously protrudes upward together with the elevating base 364 to be in the ascending position (see FIG. 65 (b)). In this raised position, the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 303 is located above the upper surface of the rotation operating unit 302. In other words, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 project significantly upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330.

When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, first, the central pressing operation unit 303a moves downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, and the central pressing operation unit 303a The upper surface and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are in a state of substantially the same height. In this state, the press detection sensor 381 does not detect the press. Further, the central pressing operation unit 303a moves downward together with the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the upper surfaces of the central pressing operation unit 303a and the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface (see FIG. 65 (c)). In this state, the press detection sensor 381 detects the press.

Further, when the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a remains projected upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b. The outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b and the central pressing operation unit 303a move downward, and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302 (see FIG. 65 (a)). .. In this state, the press detection sensor 381 does not detect the press.

As described above, the pressing operation unit 303 of the present embodiment is not detected by the pressing detection sensor 381 unless the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed to the downward moving end regardless of the descending position or the ascending position. ing. Therefore, since it is possible to urge the player to firmly press the central pressing operation unit 303a, it is possible to draw attention to the operation of the effect operation unit 301 in the player participation type production. , Player participation type production can be more enjoyed.

The rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated even when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position. Therefore, when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, depending on the player, the pressing operation unit 303 may be used as a clue to facilitate the rotation operation, or the pressing operation unit 303 may be an obstacle to perform the rotation operation. The operability of the rotation operation unit 302 can be changed, and more various operations can be enjoyed.

In this way, when the door frame 3 is opened, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 moves forward from the main body frame base 501, so that the connection cable guide member 502 By guiding the connection cable 503, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 from hanging between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4.

When the opened door frame 3 is closed, the portion of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3 moves relatively rearward, so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pressed backward by the connection cable 503. Then, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the mounting shaft 502c so that the left end side moves rearward. At this time, since the connection cable guide member 502 is opened at an opening angle β of less than 45 degrees, the connection cable guide member 502 does not hinder the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 is opened. It can be closed smoothly. Further, since the connection cable 503 is guided by the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 when the door frame 3 is closed, and the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4. It is possible to prevent problems from occurring in the door.

Further, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 guided by the connection cable guide member 502 is folded 180 degrees, so that the connection cable 503 is folded at the folded portion. You can make a habit. As a result, when the door frame 3 is opened and the portion of the connection cable 503 folded 180 degrees is changed to open, a force to close the connection cable 503 is exerted due to the folding habit. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) from moving in the opening direction due to the bending habit, and the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) can be prevented from moving. It can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be closed smoothly.

Further, on the door frame 3 side, the folded connection cable 503 is placed closer to the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 held by the cable holder 103a causes the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 to be held by the hinge pin 122 on the door frame and the hinge pin 122 on the door frame. It can be pulled toward the central axis (axis core) side of the hinge pin 126 under the door frame.

Further, in the present embodiment, the door passes through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502, is centered on the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame, and is closer to the door than the cable holder 103a in the speaker duct 103. The angle between the tangent line tangent to the circle passing through the portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axis core) side of the hinge pin 122 above the frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame and the front surface of the main body frame 4 is 45 degrees. It is configured as follows. As a result, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the pressing portion abuts on the connection cable 503, thereby closing the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 that is open via the connection cable 503. Since it can be pressed in the direction, the connection cable guide member 502 can be smoothly closed as the door frame 3 moves in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be reliably closed. Further, since the maximum opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 that rotates (opens and closes) with the opening and closing of the door frame 3 can be set to 45 degrees or less, the connection cable guide member 502 is used when the door frame 3 is closed. Can be reliably rotated in the closing direction, and the same effects as described above can be obtained.

It is equipped with a ball-cutting detection sensor 574 that detects the presence or absence of a ball (see FIG. 92).

In the ball guidance unit 570, the shape of the guidance unit base 571 and the guidance passage front lid 572 in front view is formed in a quadrangle extending vertically. The guidance passage 570a opens upward near the left end of the upper surface of the guidance unit base 571, extends vertically downward from the upper end to the vicinity of the center in the height direction of the guidance unit base 571, and then bends to the right to guide. It extends downward in a meandering manner while repeatedly folding back between the widths of the unit base 571 in the left-right direction, and opens downward near the left end of the lower surface of the induction unit base 571.

The guide passage 570a has a depth on the front-back right side and a width in the left-right direction slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B with respect to the distribution direction in which the game ball B is distributed. It can be guided in a row.

In the ball guidance unit 570, a movable piece member 573 is attached in the vicinity of the upper portion so as to be able to advance and retreat into the guidance passage 570a. Specifically, the movable piece member 573 is rotatably attached around an axis whose upper portion extends back and forth at the right outer portion of the guide passage 570a in front view, and a part of the lower end protrudes into the guide passage 570a due to its own weight. It is formed to do. The movable piece member 573 is in a state in which the game ball B abuts on the portion protruding into the guide passage 570a, so that the protruding portion is pushed by the game ball B and retracts from the inside of the guide passage 570a and does not protrude. It becomes.

When a part of the movable piece member 573 protrudes into the guide passage 570a, the ball cutting detection sensor 574 does not detect the movable piece member 573, and a part of the movable piece member 573 retracts from the inside of the guide passage 570a. When it is not protruding, the movable piece member 573 is detected. Therefore, the ball cut detection sensor 574 is in the detection state when the game ball B is present in the guidance passage 570a, and is in the non-detection state when the game ball B is not present in the guidance passage 570a.

In the state where the ball guiding unit 570 is assembled in the main body frame 4, the upstream end of the guiding passage 570a communicates with the downstream end of the tank rail 553, and the downstream end of the guiding passage 570a is the payout passage of the payout device 580.

It has a spur gear-shaped payout gear 588a and a plurality of detection pieces 588b extending outward from the payout gear 588a, and is rotatably attached between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device front lid 583. The payout gear member 588, the payout blade 589 having a plurality of blade pieces 589a that rotate integrally with the payout gear member 588 between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 and project into the payout passage 580a, and the payout blade 589. It is equipped with a blade rotation detection sensor 590 that is attached to the rear side of the apparatus main body 581 and detects the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588.

Further, the payout device 580 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 at the downstream end of the payout passage 580a, and has a payout detection sensor 591 for detecting the game ball B, and the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear. A ball-extracting movable piece 592 attached so that the ball-extracting passage 580b can be opened and closed at a portion branched from the payout passage 580a by the lid 582, and a ball-extracting movable piece 592 can be held at a position where the ball-extracting passage 580b is closed. It is provided with a ball pulling lever 593 that is slidably attached in the vertical direction by the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582.

The payout device 580 is formed in a quadrangle whose plan view shape extends vertically. The payout device 580 is formed so that the width in the left-right direction is larger to the right in the front view than the width in the left-right direction of the ball guidance unit 570.

As shown in FIG. 89, the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 has an upstream end opening upward from the center in the left-right direction to the left and a downstream end near the right end in the left-right direction. It opens downward. The payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the top to a height of about 1/3 of the total height so as to gradually move to the left from the upstream end, and then bends slightly diagonally downward to the right. It bends at about 1/3 of the width of the left and right and extends substantially vertically downward toward the center (rotation axis) of the payout blade 589. Then, on the upper side of the center of the payout blade 589, after bending to the right in the rear view with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B, a gap slightly larger than the game ball B is formed between the payout blade 589 and the outer circumference. It extends downward in an arc shape concentric with the payout blade 589 so as to form, and then extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position on the right side of the rear view from the center of the payout blade 589.

In the payout passage 580a, the payout detection sensor 591 is arranged below the payout blade 589 and directly above the downstream end.

The ball ejection passage 580b branches at a portion of the payout passage 580a that extends diagonally downward from the upstream end and bends to the right, and extends vertically to the lower end along the left side of the rear view, and is seen in the back view of the bottom surface. It opens downward near the left end.

The payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 face each other on the side where the ball pulling movable piece 592 is attached at the portion where the payout passage 580a and the ball pulling passage 580b are branched, and the outer diameter of the game ball B is opposed to each other. The main body side guide wall 581a is formed so as to project rearward and forward from each so as to form a narrower gap, and to be continuous with the left side wall in the rear view of the payout passage 580a and the ball ejection passage 580b, respectively. And a rear lid side guide wall 582a is provided. The guide wall 581a on the main body side and the guide wall 582a on the rear lid side branch from the ball ejection passage 580b in the payout passage 580a and extend to the right in the rear view at a height of about 1/3 from the top. It is formed in the left position. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are curved so as to be recessed diagonally upward to the left in the rear view, and are mainly formed to form a side wall of the ball ejection passage 580b. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 rotates between the guide wall 581a on the main body side and the guide wall 582a on the rear lid side.

The payout motor 584 is attached to the right side of the rear view of the portion of the payout device main body 581 where the payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the upstream end. The drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear member 588 are arranged in front of the payout device main body 581, and the front side is covered with the payout device front lid 583. The payout gear member 588 is provided with three flat plate-shaped detection pieces 588b extending outward at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction.

The payout blade 589 is arranged between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582. The payout blade 589 is provided with a plurality of blade pieces 589a extending outward in a flat plate shape at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The blade piece 589a extends from above toward the rotation axis in the payout passage 580a and then extends to the right in the rear view so that the space between the blade piece 589a and the side wall of the payout passage becomes narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B. In addition, it protrudes into the payout passage 580a. The payout blade 589 includes a ball accommodating portion 589b recessed between the three blade pieces 589a with an arc having a radius younger than the radius of the game ball B toward the center. Only one game ball B can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b. As a result, the payout blade 589 can be restricted from moving the game ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 by the blade piece 589a, and is rotated in the clockwise direction in the rear view. As a result, the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b can be moved to the downstream side.

The payout gear member 588 and the payout blade 589 are coaxially and integrally rotatably attached by the payout device rear lid 582 and the payout device front lid 583. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is arranged on the left side of the rotation shaft of the payout gear member 588 in the rear view. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is for detecting the rotation of the payout blade 589 by detecting the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588 that rotates integrally with the payout blade 589.

The ball pulling movable piece 592 is rotatably attached around an axis extending back and forth at the upper ends of the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is bent in a dogleg shape, and is attached so that the recessed side faces the inside of the payout passage 580a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is formed so that the depth in the front-rear direction is smaller than the gap between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are formed. Through the gap between them, it is possible to project into the ball pulling passage 580b or retreat to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b.

The ball pulling lever 593 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction on the left side of the rear view near the upper end of the ball pulling movable piece 592. A part of the ball pulling lever 593 penetrates the rear lid 582 of the payout device and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the descending end, the lower part can come into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball pulling movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction of the rear view can be restricted. The ball pulling passage 580b can be closed by the ball pulling movable piece 592. Further, by locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the rising end, the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, and the ball pulling passage 580b can be opened (FIG. FIG. See 90).

When the ball pulling lever 593 is raised to make the ball pulling movable piece 592 rotatable, the game ball B, which has been in a state like a string of beads on the upstream side of the ball pulling movable piece 592, becomes a ball pulling movable piece 592. It will flow down to the ball ejection passage 580b side beyond the above. At this time, since the ball ejection passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a flows straight down to the ball ejection passage 580b side. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball ejection passage 580b communicates with the island equipment side, there is no such thing as the payout blade 589 that suppresses the flow of the game ball B, so that the game ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. Will flow down soon.

In this way, in the state where the ball-extracting movable piece 592 is rotatable, the game ball B flows down in the ball-extracting passage 580b at a high speed, so that the ball-extracting movable piece 592 projecting into the ball-extracting passage 580b. The game ball B vigorously abuts on the lower end side of the ball, but the ball-extracting movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the payout device main body 581 and the rear lid side guide wall 582a of the payout device rear lid 582. Since the ball-pulling passage 580b can be moved to the outside of the inner surface, the ball-pulling movable piece 592 moves to the outside of the ball-pulling passage 580b due to the contact force, so that the ball-pulling movable piece 592 is a ball. It is not sandwiched between the wall surface of the pull-out passage 580b and the game ball B, and the game ball B can prevent a strong force from acting on the ball pull-out movable piece 592, and the ball can be pulled out by the collision of the game ball B. It is possible to suppress a decrease in durability and damage of the piece 592.

For this reason, since the movable ball-pulling piece 592 can be made less likely to be damaged, more game balls B can be discharged to the island equipment side on the downstream side of the ball-pulling passage 580b, so that the pachinko machine can be discharged more quickly. It is possible to suppress an increase in the time required for replacement and maintenance of the machine 1, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side.

Further, when the ball pulling movable piece 592 is in a rotatable state, the ball pulling movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a at a narrower interval than the game ball B, and the ball pulling passage 580b. In order to move to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, the game ball B comes into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592 protruding into the ball pulling passage 580b, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 comes into contact with the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Even if the game ball B moves to the side between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a together with the ball pulling movable piece 592 when moving to the outside through the space, the space is larger than that of the game ball B. Only the game ball B can be prevented from moving outward due to the space between the narrow main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

Then, the movement of the game ball B to the outside is blocked by the space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, so that the game ball B is separated from the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the subsequent ball. Since the movement of the movable ball-pulling piece 592 is due to the inertial force, a strong force does not act on the movable ball-pulling piece 592, and the movable ball-pulling piece 592 can be made difficult to be damaged, and the guide on the main body side. The game ball B does not jump out of the ball pulling passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the game ball B can be reliably distributed to the downstream side of the ball pulling passage 580b.

In the state where the upper full tank path unit 600 is assembled in the payout unit 560, the upstream end of the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a is open just below the downstream end of the payout passage 580a in the payout device 580, and the upper ball is pulled out. The upstream end of the passage 600e is open just below the downstream end of the ball ejection passage 580b in the payout device 580. As a result, the game ball B discharged (paid out) from the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 passes through the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a and the upper ball storage passage 600b, and passes through the upper normal payout passage 600c or the upper full tank payout passage 600d. It is released downward from any of the above. Further, the game ball B discharged downward from the ball pulling passage 580b of the payout device 580 is discharged downward through the upper ball pulling passage 600e.

[4-7d. Lower full tank path unit]
The lower full tank path unit 610 in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 87 and 88 and the like. The lower full tank path unit 610 is mounted on the bottom plate portion 551 g of the payout base 551 in the payout base unit 550, and is attached to the lower part of the upper full tank path unit 600. The lower full tank path unit 610 guides the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank path unit 600 to the door frame 3 side or to the substrate unit 620 side. The lower full tank path unit 610 extends in the front-rear direction so that the front end side is low, and the rear end extends upward.

The lower full tank path unit 610 has a lower normal payout passage 610a, a lower full tank payout passage 610b, and a lower ball removal passage 610c, and is a lower full tank base that extends in the front-rear direction and is open upward. The 611, the lower full tank cover 612 attached to the upper side of the lower full tank base 611, and the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower normal payout passage 610a rotatably attached to the front end of the lower full tank base 611 around an axis extending back and forth.

It is equipped with a closing spring 614, which is in force.

In the lower full tank path unit 610, the lower normal payout passage 610a, the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and the lower ball removal passage 610c are arranged in this order from the left when viewed from the front on the upper surface of the portion extending upward from the rear end. In the state, each upstream end opens upward. The lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b extend forward in a state of being arranged side by side, and then open forward at the front end of the lower full tank ball path unit 610. The lower full tank payout passage 610b extends forward in a state slightly lower than the lower normal payout passage 610a. The lower ball ejection passage 610c extends forward along the front right side surface of the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and opens to the right in the middle of the front-rear direction.

The payout passage opening / closing door 613 is rotatably attached at a position between the front end openings of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b. The payout passage opening / closing door 613 is urged in the clockwise direction in the front view by the closing spring 614. Under normal conditions, the front end openings (downstream ends) of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are provided. The opening) is closed. The payout passage opening / closing door 613 is provided with an actuating protrusion 613a projecting forward. The actuating protrusion 613a is formed in a front view shape in a short arc shape centered on the rotation center of the payout passage opening / closing door 613, and as the front end surface approaches the end side in the counterclockwise direction. It is tilted so that it protrudes forward. The actuating protrusion 613a is formed so as to come into contact with the door opening / closing contact portion 150f of the foul cover unit 150 in the door frame 3 when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4.

When the lower full tank path unit 610 is assembled to the payout unit 560, the lower normal payout passage 610a, the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and the lower ball removal passage 610c, which are open upward at the upper end of the rear portion, are each upper full. It is located directly below the downstream end of the upper normal payout passage 600c, the upper full tank payout passage 600d, and the upper ball removal passage 600e of the tongue path unit 600. As a result, the game ball B discharged downward from the upper normal payout passage 600c circulates in the lower normal payout passage 610a, and the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank payout passage 600d circulates in the lower full tank payout passage 610b. The game ball B discharged downward from the upper ball pulling passage 600e will circulate in the lower ball pulling passage 610c.

Further, in the state where the lower full tank ball path unit 610 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the front end (downstream end) of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b penetrates the foul cover unit 150 in the door frame 3. It opens immediately after the ball passage 150a and the full ball receiving port 150b. Further, the downstream end of the lower ball pulling passage 610c is opened so as to face the ball pulling guide portion 627 opened to the left in the base unit 620b of the substrate unit 620.

In the lower full tank path unit 610, in a normal state (a state in which the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4), the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is in contact with the door opening / closing contact of the foul cover unit 150. By abutting against the portion 150f, it rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the front view against the urging force of the closing spring 614. As a result, the openings at the downstream ends of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are open, and the foul cover unit 150 communicates with the through ball passage 150a and the full tank receiving port 150b. It is in a state.

On the other hand, when the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is separated from the door opening / closing contact portion 150f of the foul cover unit 150, and the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is separated from the door opening / closing contact portion 150f. Is rotated in the clockwise direction in the front view by the urging force of the closing spring 614, and the openings at the downstream ends of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are closed. In this state, the game balls B in the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b cannot move forward from their respective front end openings. As a result, even if the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the game ball B does not spill from the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b.

[4-7e. Flow of game balls in payout unit]
Subsequently, the flow of the game ball B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 92. The payout unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the payout base 551 when assembled on the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball ejection lever 593 of the payout device 580 is located at the descending end, and the ball ejection passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full tank path unit 610, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is in an open state.

In the ball tank 552 opened upward, a predetermined number of balls are detected by the ball cutting detection sensor 574 of the ball guidance unit 570, for example, from the game hall island facility in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The game ball B is supplied. The game balls B supplied and stored in the ball tank 552 are sent to the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 through the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 in a state of being aligned in a row by the tank rail 555. When the payout motor 584 is not rotating, the game ball B cannot move (flow down) to the downstream side of the payout blade 589, and a plurality of game balls B stay on the upstream side of the payout blade 589. Will be.

Then, the game ball B in the guiding passage 570a of the ball guiding unit 570 presses the movable piece member 573, and the ball cutting detection sensor 574 detects the movable piece member 573. As a result, it can be seen that the game ball B is stored in the passage between at least the movable piece member 573 and the payout blade 589.

In this state, when the payout blade 589 is rotated in the rear view clockwise direction by the payout motor 584, the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b moves in the rear view clockwise direction, and the payout blade 580a in the payout passage 580a moves. It is released to the downstream side of 589. Then, the game ball B released from the payout blade 589 (ball accommodating portion 589b) is sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank ball path unit 600 after being detected by the payout detection sensor 591.

The game ball B sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank ball path unit 600 is normally arranged through the upper ball storage passage 600b and directly below the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a. It flows down to the upper normal payout passage 600c. Then, the game ball B flowing down to the upper normal payout passage 600c passes through the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610 and the through ball passage 150a of the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3, and the dish unit 200. It is discharged into the upper plate 201 from the upper plate ball supply port 211a of the plate unit base 211 in the above.

When a large number of game balls B are paid out from the payout device 580 and the inside of the upper plate 201 is filled with the game balls B, the game balls B cannot be discharged forward from the upper plate ball supply port 211a, so that the payout device The game ball B paid out from the 580 stays in the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610, and when the game ball B is further paid out, the lower normal payout passage 610a and the upstream side It will also stay in the upper normal payout passage 600c of the upper full tank path unit 600 that is in communication. Then, when the game ball B is further discharged while the upper normal payout passage 600c is filled with the game ball B, the upper normal payout passage 600c is connected to the upper ball storage passage 600b which is connected to the upstream side of the upper normal payout passage 600c. As the game ball B begins to stay, the game ball B begins to flow down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d adjacent to the upper normal payout passage 600c.

Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d passes through the lower full tank payout passage 610b of the lower full tank path unit 610, and passes through the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and the full tank ball receiving port 150b in the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3 Can be received by. After that, the game ball B received by the full tank ball receiving port 150b is discharged into the lower plate 202 through the storage passage 150e, the ball discharging port 150d, and the lower plate ball supply port 211c of the plate unit base 211. As a result, when the upper plate 201 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B is further paid out, the game ball B can be automatically paid out to the lower plate 202.

When the lower plate 202 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate B is further discharged. The game ball B is retained and stored in the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c.

This display control MPU has a built-in parallel I / O port, serial I / O port, etc., and controls VDP based on control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 to draw the effect display device 1600. It is in control. If the display control MPU is operating normally, the display control MPU outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control unit 1511. Further, the display control MPU performs interrupt processing when an executing signal is input from VDP and the output of the executing signal is stopped every 16 ms.

The display control ROM includes various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the effect display device 1600, control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511, corresponding schedule data, and control data (display command). Multiple corresponding non-resident area transfer schedule data, etc. are stored. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data that defines the screen configuration in chronological order, and defines the order of the screens to be drawn on the effect display device 1600. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is configured by arranging the non-resident area transfer data that defines the order of various data stored in the image ROM to the non-resident area of the image RAM in chronological order. As the non-resident area transfer data, the order in which the screen data drawn on the effect display device 1600 according to the progress of the schedule data is transferred in advance from the image ROM to the non-resident area of the image RAM is defined.

The display control MPU extracts the first screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 from the display control ROM and outputs it to the VDP, and then outputs the screen data following the first screen data. It is extracted from the display control ROM and output to VDP. In this way, the display control MPU extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data from the display control ROM one by one from the first screen data and outputs the screen data to the VDP.

When the screen data output from the display control MPU is input, the VDP extracts sprite data from the image RAM based on the input screen data and generates drawing data to be displayed on the effect display device 1600. The generated drawing data is output to the effect display device 1600. Further, when the effect display device 1600 does not accept the screen data from the display control MPU, the VDP outputs an executing signal to that effect to the display control MPU. The line buffer method is adopted for VDP. This "line buffer method" means that the drawing data for one line that draws the left-right direction of the effect display device 1600 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing data for one line held in the line buffer is stored in the effect display device 1600. It is a method to output to.

An extremely large amount of sprite data is stored in the image ROM, and its capacity is large. When the capacity of the image ROM becomes large, that is, when the number of sprites drawn on the effect display device 1600 increases, the access speed of the image ROM cannot be ignored, which affects the speed of drawing on the effect display device 1600. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sprite data stored in the image ROM is transferred and copied to the image RAM having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the image RAM. The sprite data is basic data that is data before the sprite is expanded into a bitmap format, and is stored in the image ROM in a compressed state.

Here, the "sprite" will be described. The "sprite" is an image displayed on the effect display device 1600 as a unit. For example, when displaying various people (characters) on the effect display device 1600, the data for drawing each person is called a "sprite". As a result, when displaying a plurality of people on the effect display device 1600, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to people, houses, mountains, roads, etc. that make up the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are drawn on the effect display device 1600 by setting the positions arranged on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap each other (hereinafter, referred to as "the order of superimposing the sprites").

It should be noted that the sprite is configured by laminating a plurality of rectangular areas of 64 pixels in each of the vertical and horizontal directions. The data for drawing this rectangular area is called a "sprite character". In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one sprite character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, a total of 6 sprite characters arranged in a width of 2 x a height of 3 can be used. Can be expressed. In the case of a larger sprite such as a background, it can be expressed by using a larger number of sprite characters. In this way, the number and arrangement of sprite characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

The effect display device 1600 repeats a main scan for setting a display state for each pixel in one direction along a pixel and a main scan in a direction intersecting the one direction, sequentially from left to right when viewed from the front. It is driven by a sub-scan that is performed. When the drawing data for one line output from the effect display control unit 1512 is input to the effect display device 1600, the effect display device 1600 sequentially serves one line from left to right when viewed from the front of the effect display device 1600 as the main scan. Output to each pixel. Then, when the output for one line is completed, the effect display device 1600 shifts to the line directly below as a sub-scan, and similarly, when the drawing data for the next line is input, based on the drawing data for the next line. As the main scan, outputs are sequentially output to pixels for one line from left to right when viewed from the front of the effect display device 1600.

[7. Game content]
The content of the game by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 100 and the like. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player rotates the handle 182 of the handle unit 180 arranged in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3, and the game ball B stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is operated. However, the game board 5 is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game by the game ball B is started. The game ball B driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength. The striking strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 182, and the more the handle 182 is rotated, the stronger the striking can be. That is, the game ball B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted in front of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110) in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game ball B comes into contact with the obstacle nails. , The flow speed of the game ball B is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball B so that the movements can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a wind turbine (not shown) that rotates due to the contact of the game ball B is provided at an appropriate position.

When the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view from the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, it comes into contact with a plurality of obstacle nails and is centered. It will flow down the area on the left side of the accessory 2500. Then, when the game ball B flowing down the area on the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2501 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, it is supplied from the warp outlet 2502 to the stage 2503.

The game ball B supplied to the stage 2503 rolls on the stage 2503 and moves back and forth from side to side, and is discharged from the center in the left-right direction to the front. When the game ball B is released into the game area 5a from the center of the stage 2503, it is received by the first start port 2002 with a high probability because the portion is located directly above the first start port 2002. When the game balls B are received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Will be done.

The game ball B released from the stage 2503 of the center accessory 2500 into the game area 5a may be accepted by the first start port 2002 or the general winning opening 2001 of the start port unit 2100.

By the way, when the game ball B that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2501, it is moved to the center side in the left-right direction by the side unit 2200 or the obstacle nail, and the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200, Alternatively, it may be accepted by the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, the general winning port 2001, or the like. Then, when the game balls B are received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Will be done.

On the other hand, when the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500 (so-called right-handed strike). , Is discharged to the upper part of the gate unit 2300 through the right side of the center accessory 2500. In addition to the gate portion 2003 of the gate unit 2300, this portion is provided with a second starting port 2004 of the center accessory 2500 and a general winning opening 2001, and passes through the gate portion 2003 with a certain probability.

Then, when the game ball B hit to the right passes through the gate portion 2003, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310, and if the lottery normal lottery result is "normal hit", the second starting port is closed. The 2004 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 to 15 seconds), and the game ball B can be accepted into the second starting port 2004. Then, when the game balls B are received in the second starting port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of the game balls B are transferred to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. It will be paid out.

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by the game ball B passing through the gate portion 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery until the result of the ordinary lottery is suggested (for example, 0). .08 to 20 seconds, also referred to as normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second starting port 2004 is normally opened after the lapse of the fluctuation time.

If the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 between the time when the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 and the time when the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of the suggestion of the normal lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the previous normal lottery result is completed. In addition, the maximum number of pending lottery results is four, and even if the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003, the number of pending results is discarded without being reserved. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 has an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit", which is advantageous to the player. A lottery of special lottery results that generate "small hits" and "time reduction (time reduction) hits" is performed. In addition, the game balls B are accepted into the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, and the lottery is performed. If a big hit is won based on the special lottery result, the big hit type is determined based on the symbol random number (hereinafter, also referred to as the symbol random number (hereinafter, also referred to as the first special symbol random number or the second special symbol random number)) acquired at the time of entering the ball. Game benefits (big hit game and game state after the big hit game) corresponding to the determined type of big hit (determined big hit type) are given. Similarly, the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2002 and the second. If a small hit is won in the special lottery result that is drawn by accepting the game ball B in the starting port 2004, the symbol random number acquired at the time of entering the ball (hereinafter, the symbol random number (first special symbol random number, second special) The small hit type is determined based on (also called a symbol random number), and the game privilege (small hit game or small hit game) corresponding to the determined type of small hit (determined small hit type) is entered into a specific area. The big hit game to be executed when the game is played, the game state after the big hit game) is given, and the special lottery result drawn is given a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, special variation). It is suggested to the player over time). The big hit type that is drawn by accepting the game ball B at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 is "14R time saving big hit (14R time saving big hit). There are "A, 14R time saving big hit B)", "5R time saving big hit A, 5R time saving big hit B)", etc., and the small hit type is "5R small hit (no V hit) (5R small hit A1). , 5R small hit B1) "," 5R small hit (V time short big hit) (5R small hit A2, 5R small hit B2) "," 14R small hit (V time short big hit) (14R small hit A, 14R small hit B) , Etc., which will be described in detail later, but for "5R small hits A2 and B2" and "14R small hits A and B", there are small hits that make it easy for the game ball to enter a specific area. For "5R small hits A1, B1", it is more difficult for the game ball to enter a specific area than "5R small hits A2, B2" and "14R small hits A, B". A hit is set.

The special lottery results (first special lottery result and second special lottery result) drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 are the special lottery results that generate an advantageous gaming state. In this case, after the lapse of the special fluctuation time, the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 is in a state where the game ball B can be accepted in a predetermined opening / closing pattern. When the game ball B is received in the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 when the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 is open, the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 are received. A predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of game balls B are dispensed from the payout device 580 to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006 allows the game ball B to be accepted, it is often possible to have the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006 accept the game ball B. The game ball B can be paid out, and the player can be entertained.

When the special lottery result is "small hit", the first big winning opening 2005 is in an open state where the game ball B can be accepted for a predetermined short time (for example, for 1.8 seconds). The opening / closing pattern that closes from is executed a predetermined number of times (once in this embodiment). On the other hand, if the result of the special lottery is "big hit", or if the game ball that won the first big prize opening 2005 in the small hit game enters a specific area, the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big prize After a predetermined long time (28.5 seconds in this example) has elapsed after the mouth 2006 is in an open state in which the game ball B can be accepted, or to the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006. When any of the conditions of accepting a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B is satisfied, an opening / closing pattern that makes the game balls B unacceptable in a closed state (one opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round). Is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For example, 5 rounds for "5R jackpot" and 14 rounds for "14R jackpot" are repeated, and the prize can be won by the player, which is advantageous to the player (big hit game). To generate.

In the present embodiment, the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 are obtained until the result of the special lottery drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B into the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 is suggested. When the game ball B is accepted, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started. Therefore, the start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. The number of reserved special lottery results is limited to four for each of the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, and for more than that, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. Even if the game ball B is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is not reserved and is discarded. As a result, it is possible to prevent the burden on the game hall side from increasing due to the accumulation of reservations. When the result of the special lottery drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B into the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 is suggested, the suggested special lottery result must be "big hit" and "small hit". For example, the start condition for the next special lottery result lottery is satisfied, and if there is a special lottery result held in the main control board 1310 in an unexecuted state, the special lottery result with the highest digestion order is obtained. Will be digested (executed) from.

The suggestion of the special lottery result (variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol)) is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600. In the function display unit 1400, the special lottery result is suggested by being directly controlled by the main control board 1310. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result by repeatedly turning on and off a plurality of LEDs to blink for a predetermined time and then by combining the lighting LEDs. For example, if the special lottery result is "big hit", the LEDs are turned on in a combination according to the big hit type (big hit symbol), and if the special lottery result is "small hit", the LEDs are turned on in a combination according to the small hit type. If the special lottery result is "missing", the special lottery result is suggested by turning on the LED in a combination different from the big hit symbol and the small hit symbol (missing symbol).

On the other hand, in the effect display device 1600, based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, it is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board 1510, and the suggestion of the special lottery result is performed as the effect image. The effect image suggesting the result of the special lottery on the effect display device 1600 is displayed in a variable manner after changing each pattern sequence in a state where three pattern rows (decorative patterns) composed of a plurality of patterns are displayed side by side in the left-right direction. The displayed pattern rows (decorative patterns) are sequentially stopped and displayed. Specifically, when the game ball B is accepted in the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, each symbol sequence is changed in a state where three symbol rows consisting of a plurality of decorative symbols are displayed side by side in the left-right direction. After that, the variable display symbol columns are sequentially stopped and displayed. At this time, the decorative symbols of the three symbol rows that are stopped and displayed are stopped and displayed so that the combinations correspond to the special lottery results. When the special lottery result is other than "missing", after the three symbol rows are stopped and each decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, a definite image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the effect display device 1600 and the lottery is performed. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) is generated according to the result of the special lottery.

Further, in the effect display device 1600, the variation display of the decorative symbol is stopped in the order of left column → right column → middle column when viewed from the player side, and specific two columns (two on the left and right in this embodiment) are stopped. When the same decorative symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed in the column), a reach state is formed. In the present embodiment, the left column is the first stop column, the right column is the second stop column, the middle column is the third stop column, and the left column and the right column form the reach state among the plurality of symbol columns. Will be.

Here, the "temporarily stopped display" can appear in the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 during the period in which the special symbol maintains the fluctuating state. This is a state in which a specific decorative pattern is displayed in a fluctuating state within the display area of the effect display device 1600. On the other hand, the "fixed stop display" can appear when or after the special symbol is stopped in the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400. It is a state in which any of the decorative symbols is stopped without shaking in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

It should be noted that the time suggesting the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (variable time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the effect display device 1600 (the pattern sequence fluctuates and the confirmed image is displayed). It is different from the time until it is displayed), and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time. Further, when the time (variable time) suggesting the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 elapses, the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) transmits a stop display command to the peripheral control board 1510 described later. The peripheral control board 1510 (peripheral control MPU) does not completely stop the effect suggesting the special lottery result on the effect display device 1600 until the stop display command is received from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU) (for example). Shake fluctuation display), stop (confirmed display) the effect that suggests the special lottery result based on the reception of the stop display command.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to displaying the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the effect operation in the effect operation unit 300 in the door frame 3 is performed according to the lottery special lottery result. It is possible to perform a player participation type effect of operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the unit 301. In the player participation type production, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated or vibrated by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation can be assisted, the rotation operation can be hindered, and the operation button elevating drive motor can be used. The pressing operation unit 303 can be raised to stand out by 367, and the player participation type production can be enjoyed by operating the effect operation unit 301.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, each decorative board provided in the door frame 3, each decorative board provided in the game board 5, the front effect unit 2600, the lower movable effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, and the upper rear It is possible to perform light emission effect, movable effect, etc. by appropriately using the movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, etc., and it is possible to entertain the player by various effects, and the player's game. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the door.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in the player participation type production in which the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 are operated, the correct operation is performed when the player makes a mistake or does not perform the operation to be operated. Notify the player to that effect. Specifically, for example, when the pressing operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is required, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is pressed, or when the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated, the vibration speaker 354 vibrates. The effect display device 1600 may display to that effect.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to displaying the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the table effect unit of the table unit 2000 on the game board 5 according to the lottery special lottery result. It is possible to perform light emission effect, movable effect, display effect, etc. by appropriately using the 2600, the lower movable effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, and the like. It is possible to entertain the player by various productions, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game.

When the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) stops at the jackpot symbol as described above, the jackpot game in which the player can obtain a prize is performed on the main control board 1310. When executing the jackpot game, first, an opening period in which an opening effect indicating the start of the jackpot game is performed is generated. Then, when this opening period ends, the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 are limited to the predetermined number of rounds (14 rounds in this embodiment) determined in advance according to the determined big hit type. Is opened (the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 are made ready to accept the game ball B), and a round game is performed. One round game is until the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 are opened and closed a predetermined number of times (once in this embodiment), and the first prize is won during one round game. Until the specified number of game balls B (upper limit number of winnings: 10 balls in this example) wins in the opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006, or the specified time (round game time: 28.5 seconds in this example). ) Will be released until it elapses. In the round game, a round production is performed. Then, when the round game of the specified number of rounds is completed, an ending period (about 5 seconds in the present embodiment) in which the ending effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is performed is generated, and when the ending period is completed, the jackpot game is terminated. To.

Further, when the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is stopped at the small hit symbol, the small hit game in which the player can obtain a prize is performed on the main control board 1310. When executing the small hit game, first, an opening period in which an opening effect indicating the start of the small hit game is performed is generated. Then, when this opening period ends, the first major winning opening 2005 is opened (the first major winning opening 2005 is made in a state where the game ball B can be accepted). In the embodiment, it is performed up to once). Until the specified number of game balls B (upper limit number of winnings: 10 balls in this example) wins in the first major winning opening 2005 during one open game, or the specified time (open game time: in this example) It will be released until 1.8 seconds) elapses. In the open game, an open effect is performed. Then, when the open game of the specified number of times is completed, an ending period (about 5 seconds in the present embodiment) in which the ending effect indicating the end of the small hit game is performed is generated, and when the ending period is completed, the small hit game is started. It will be terminated.

Further, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, the big hit game may be continuously generated after the small hit game is completed. Although not shown, the first prize opening 2005 is provided with a distribution member that distributes the game balls won in the first prize opening 2005 into a specific area and a discharge area, and when the small hit game is started, the distribution solenoid is provided. 2111 is designed to operate in a predetermined operation mode. Then, in the small hit game, the game ball B wins in the first large winning opening 2005, and the winning game ball B is distributed to a specific area inside by the distribution member and detected by the specific area sensor 2512a. , A round game is performed in which the second major winning opening 2006 is opened up to a predetermined number of rounds (15 rounds in this embodiment) determined in advance according to the determined small hit type. Therefore, in the ending effect at the end of the small hit game described above, not only the end of the small hit game is indicated, but also the game ball B distributed by the distribution member is a specific area inside the first large winning opening 2005. It is also indicated whether or not it is detected by the sensor 2512a, that is, whether or not the big hit game is continuously performed from the small hit game. If the big hit game is continuously generated after the small hit game is completed, the small hit game in which the first big winning opening 2005 is opened becomes one round, and the number of round games including this one round. Until the specified number of rounds is reached (from the second round to the fifteenth round), a round game will be played in which the second major winning opening 2006 is opened.

Further, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is a part of the case where the jackpot symbol is a jackpot symbol, and the control is performed in a time saving state after the jackpot game is completed. Further, in a part of the case where the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is a small hit symbol, the game ball B distributed by the distribution member during the small hit game is detected by the specific area sensor 2512a. After the end of the big hit game executed based on the fact, the time is controlled to be shortened. In this time-saving state, the result of the normal determination as to whether or not the game ball B is easily won by the second starting port 2004 is derived as compared with the non-time-saving state (normal game state, etc.) in which the time-saving state does not occur. In addition to shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation, the second start port 2004 opens and closes with an opening pattern different from the non-time saving state when the normal symbol is won in the normal judgment (time saving control). ..

In the present embodiment, when winning in a non-time saving state, the opening pattern A in which the second starting port 2004 opens and closes in a short opening mode (0.05 seconds in this example) is performed, while the time saving is performed. When winning in a normal state, the opening pattern B is performed in which the second starting port 2004 opens and closes in a long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example). That is, the second starting port 2004 is set so that the opening / closing time corresponding to one normal drawing is longer in the time-saving state than in the non-time-saving state, and the player operates advantageously. For this reason, in the time-saving state, the second starting port 2004 is in a state of improving the ball entry rate, which makes it easier to open and close, as compared with the case of the non-time-saving state. The ball B is accepted, and the normal symbol change according to the normal judgment is likely to occur. It should be noted that the determination as to whether or not the time is shortened is made based on the time when the normal symbol change executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped, and specifically, when the normal symbol change is stopped, it is not determined. In the case of the time saving state, the opening pattern A for opening and closing the second starting port 2004 in the short opening mode (0.05 seconds in this example) is executed even if the time saving state is started at the start of the normal symbol fluctuation, and the normal symbol is executed. If the time is shortened when the fluctuation is stopped, the opening pattern B that opens and closes the second starting port 2004 in the long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example) even if the time is not shortened at the start of the normal symbol fluctuation is Will be executed.

According to the above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, there is a possibility that the game ball B will be accepted by the second starting port 2004 if the right-handed hit is continued when the player wins the game in a short time. There is a high probability that the game ball B will be received in the second starting port 2004). On the other hand, if the player wins the game in a non-time saving state, it is difficult for the game ball B to be accepted in the second starting port 2004. Therefore, in the non-time saving state, the variation display of the first special symbol mainly based on the acceptance of the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 is executed, and in the time saving state, the game ball B mainly to the second starting port 2004 is executed. The variable display of the second special symbol based on acceptance is executed.

Further, in the time saving state according to this embodiment, the total of the symbol variation of the first special symbol and the symbol variation of the second special symbol is predetermined after the end of the jackpot game executed when the 14R time saving jackpot is won. The number of times (100 times in this example: the number of time reductions) The symbol change of the first special symbol is a predetermined number of times after the end of the time reduction state A that ends when it is executed and the big hit game that is executed when the 5R time reduction jackpot is won. (In this example, 5 times: time saving number of times), or when the symbol variation of the second special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (1 time: time saving number of times in this example), there is a time saving state B that ends. In addition, after the end of the big hit game executed when the 5R small hit (V time saving big hit) is completed, the time saving state B is controlled, and the big hit game executed when the 14R small hit (V time saving big hit) is won. After the end, it is controlled to the time saving state A.

In this way, in the non-time saving state, the variation display of the first special symbol mainly based on the acceptance of the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 is executed, and in the time saving state, the game ball B mainly to the second starting port 2004 is executed. The variable display of the second special symbol based on the acceptance of is executed. Further, in the time saving state B executed when the 5R time saving jackpot is won among the time saving states, the number of symbol fluctuations (time saving number) that can be executed during the time saving state B is set to 5 times in the first special symbol. On the other hand, in the second special symbol, it is set to once, and the number of times (time reduction number) is different.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the second special symbol based on the start winning prize to the second starting port 2004 is more than the case where the variation display of the first special symbol based on the starting winning prize to the first starting port 2002 is executed. When the variable display is executed, the player is in an advantageous state. In addition, in the time saving state B, which is executed when the 5R time saving jackpot is won in the time saving state, the fluctuation time is 7 seconds when the variation display of the first special symbol in which the first special lottery result is lost is executed. (Except for hold shortening control (control that sets the fluctuation time shorter than normal (7 seconds) when the number of holds is 3 or more)), but the second special lottery result is lost. (Ii) When the variation display of the special symbol is executed, the variation time is 16 seconds (the second special symbol does not perform the hold shortening control in the time reduction state B which is executed when the 5R time reduction jackpot is won in the time reduction state). Is set to.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when both the first hold number based on the start prize to the first start port 2002 and the second hold number based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 exist, The variable display of the second special symbol according to the second reserved number is preferentially executed (the second reserved number is preferentially digested over the first reserved number). As mentioned above, if the player continues to hit right when he wins the game in the time-saving state, it is highly probable that the game ball B will be accepted by the second starting port 2004. In the time saving state B executed when the jackpot is won, in most cases, a starting prize is generated to the second starting port 2004, and the variation display of the second special symbol based on this starting prize is executed. finish.

Next, the game characteristics of the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described. Eight kinds of numbers [1] to [8] are adopted as the decorative symbols corresponding to the first special symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 of the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment, and the jackpot symbols are [ 111] [222] [333] [444] [555] [666] [777] [888] are adopted. Further, 2/270 is specified as the winning probability of the big hit on the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side. The winning probability of the small hit on the first special symbol side is defined as 3/270, and the winning probability of the small hit on the second special symbol side is 113/270. As the winning probability per normal figure, 251/251 is specified. As for the number of prize balls for the game ball B, three for the first starting port 2002 and one for the second starting port 2004 are used for the first large winning opening 2005 and the second large winning opening 2006. On the other hand, 15 pieces are specified respectively. Further, as the opening pattern A of the second starting port 2004, an embodiment in which the second starting port 2004 is maintained in the open state until 0.05 seconds have elapsed is defined. On the other hand, as the opening pattern B of the second starting port 2004, an embodiment in which the second starting port 2004 is maintained in the open state until 1.5 seconds have elapsed is defined. Further, "1 ball" is defined as the maximum number of winnings, which is a condition for closing the second starting port 2004. Further, in each round game of the big hit game, "1 time" is set as the number of times the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 are opened, and "10 balls" is set as the upper limit number of winnings. Further, in the small hit game, "1 time" is defined as the number of times the first big winning opening 2005 is opened, and "10 balls" is defined as the maximum number of winnings.

By the way, if the stopped special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) is a big hit symbol, the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 is opened as a big hit game. Then, when the game ball B is accepted into the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 when the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 is open, the main control board 1310 and the payout control are performed. A predetermined number of game balls B are dispensed from the payout device 580 to the upper plate 201 by the substrate 633. Therefore, when the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 is in the open state, by letting the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 accept the game ball B, many game balls B can be used. It can be paid out and entertain the player.

On the other hand, if the stopped special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is a small hit symbol, the first big winning opening 2005 is opened as a small hit game. Then, when the game balls B are received in the first prize opening 2005 when the first prize opening 2005 is open, a predetermined number of game balls B are released from the payout device 580 by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. , Discharged to the upper plate 201. However, in the small hit game, the opening time of the first big winning opening 2005 is short, and in the big hit game, the first big winning prize is larger than the number of game balls B accepted by the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006. The number accepted in Mouth 2005 is significantly lower. In this way, in the small hit game, the number of game balls B paid out to the player is small, but during the small hit game, the game ball B that has entered the first major winning opening 2005 and is distributed by the distribution member is The jackpot game can be generated by being detected by the specific area sensor 2512a, and the player can be entertained.

Further, in this embodiment, 2/270 is set as the winning probability of the jackpot on the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side, and when the jackpot is won on the first special symbol side, Since most of them (94%) are configured to be 5R time saving big hits, the big hits (so-called first hits) on the first special symbol side in the normal game progress process (non-time saving state) are 5R time saving big hits. There is a high possibility that a big hit will occur, and after the end of the big hit game related to the 5R time saving big hit, the above-mentioned time saving state B will occur. Then, when the time saving state B is controlled after the end of the big hit game, when the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are variablely displayed, a plurality of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are displayed to the second starting port 2004 during the variable display. The number of second holdings that are likely to lead to the execution of the small hit game is increased by entering the number of game balls B, and after the fluctuation display, the fluctuation display according to the second holding number is executed to execute the small hit game. Will make the game company have high expectations. In other words, if any of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is variablely displayed when the time saving state B is controlled after the end of the big hit game, the variable display time is used first to make a small amount. A small hit game is executed by executing a stock game that increases (accumulates) the second hold number that is likely to lead to the execution right of the winning game, and digests the second hold number that is increased (accumulated) during the stock game after the fluctuation display. It is possible to realize a new game property of executing a digestion game aiming to acquire the execution right of the game, and to suppress the deterioration of the game interest with respect to the continuous occurrence of big hits compared to the conventional game property of simply waiting for the next big hit. Is possible.

Further, in order to more preferably realize the above-mentioned game characteristics, in the present embodiment, the progress control in the time saving state is controlled in a peculiar form. Specifically, in the time saving state B executed when the 5R time saving jackpot is won in the time saving state, the start winning prize to the second starting port 2004 is generated and the variation display of the second special symbol is executed. In, the time saving state B is terminated after the variation display of the second special symbol is executed only once. However, since the variation display of the second special symbol is executed in a long variation time of 16 seconds, during that time. A plurality of start prizes are generated for the second start port 2004, and after the end of the time saving state B, the variable display based on these plurality of start prizes is executed. That is, in the time saving state B executed when the 5R time saving jackpot is won in the time saving state, the variation display period of the second special symbol executed based on the start winning to the second starting port 2004 is , The second starting port 2004 is set long enough to be opened and closed multiple times, and as a result, a period for generating multiple starting prizes for the second starting port 2004 (increasing the number of second hold). It has become. As a result, even when the variable display of the second special symbol is executed in the time saving state B, the above-mentioned "number of reserved second special symbols is accumulated and digested" using before and after the end of the time saving state B. It is possible to realize "playing game characteristics" and prevent the deterioration of the game interest.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, in the time saving state B executed when the 5R time saving jackpot is won in the time saving state, the second hold number is zero (the second hold number is not stored). In addition, when the variation display of the first special symbol is executed based on the number of first hold or the occurrence of a new start prize in the first start port 2002, the variation display of the first special symbol is performed once. The time saving state B is continued even after the first special symbol variation display without ending the time saving state B, and the first in the time saving state B in which the second special symbol variation display is not performed. It is configured to end the time saving state B after executing the variable display of the special symbol up to 5 times. As a result, the first is more disadvantageous than the case where the variable display of the second special symbol is executed because there is no second hold number in the time saving state B, which is executed when the 5R time saving jackpot is won in the time saving state. The variable display of the special symbol is executed only once, which is disadvantageous to the player as compared with the case where the time saving state B is terminated after the variable display of the second special symbol (for example, the second special symbol is the first special symbol). Even though it is easier to win a small hit, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the player cannot receive the right for one lottery of this second special symbol), and such a disadvantage occurs. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the game entertainment due to this.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the variation display of the first special symbol is executed up to 5 times in the time saving state B in which the variation display of the second special symbol is not performed, and then the time saving state B is terminated. Therefore, after the start of the time saving state B, the time saving state B continues even if all the four reserved numbers of the first special symbol already stored are exhausted. Therefore, it is possible to experience the above-mentioned game characteristics even if the player leaves the seat after the start of the time saving state B, and it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged by leaving the seat.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the variation display of the second special symbol is performed once, even if the variation display of the first special symbol does not reach five times, the variation display of the second special symbol is performed once. It is configured so that the time saving state B ends with the display. That is, one symbol variation of the second special symbol in the time saving state B also functions as a limiting means for forcibly terminating the time saving state B that may occur over a plurality of variation displays on the first special symbol side. Since the time saving state B is not easily lengthened and it can be suppressed that it is excessively advantageous to the player, it is possible to more preferably realize the above-mentioned game characteristics.

In the time saving state B executed when the 5R time saving jackpot is won among the time saving states, the condition (number of times of time saving) for ending the time saving state B is not limited to the above, and at least the second special symbol is used. It may be configured so that the variable display of can be executed. For example, the number of time reductions of the first special symbol may be set to 2 times, the number of time reductions of the second special symbol may be set to 1 time, or the number of time reductions of the first special symbol may be set to 1. It may be 5 times, and the number of fluctuations of the second special symbol may be 2 times. As described above, when the variable display of the other special symbol is made to function as a limiting means for forcibly terminating the time saving state that may occur over a plurality of variable displays on one special symbol side, the other special symbol is used. It is preferable to set the number of fluctuations of the special symbol to one.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the symbol change of the first special symbol is executed five times or the symbol change of the second special symbol is executed once after the end of the big hit game as the time saving state B. It is configured to end, but in addition, programming is performed so that the time saving state B is ended by executing the total number of fluctuations of the symbol fluctuations of the first special symbol and the second special symbol five times after the end of the jackpot game. You may set it. For example, when adding the total number of fluctuations, when determining the end of the time saving state B, the total number of fluctuations is referred to after the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol and the number of fluctuations of the second special symbol. It can be exemplified as follows. With this configuration, the programming change from another gaming machine that does not differ in the end trigger of the time saving state in the first and second special symbols, or the end trigger of the time saving state in the first and second special symbols When changing programming to other gaming machines that do not differ, it is possible to standardize the program data without the need for major changes such as deletion or addition of program data related to the total number of fluctuations, but the second special symbol symbol. It is possible to realize the above-mentioned game characteristics in which the time saving state ends when the fluctuation is executed once.

[8. Main control board control process]
Next, an example of the control process executed by the main control board 1310 (particularly the main control MPU) will be described. FIG. 118 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 118 (a), the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment is first subjected to various processes in step S1 on the condition that the RAM clear switch of the main control board 1310 is operated. Initializes the data stored in the RAM built in the register or the main control MPU (hereinafter referred to as the main control built-in RAM). The RAM clear switch is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 and cannot be operated unless the main body frame 4 is opened. Further, the RAM clear switch outputs a clear signal to the main control board 1310 according to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has elapsed from the power-on, and the main control MPU inputs the clear signal when the power is turned on. When it is determined, the initialization process (step S1) is executed to initialize the data stored in various registers and the main control built-in RAM.

Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a backup process is executed in which information indicating the progress of the game (for example, various flags) is saved in the main control built-in RAM. If the RAM clear switch is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the main control built-in RAM is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). The restoration process for restoring the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the RAM clear switch is operated when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the initialization process is executed without executing the recovery process to set the pachinko machine 1 to the initial state. Further, when the initialization process is executed, the gaming state is controlled to the non-time saving state.

Next, as the process of step S2, the random number, which is the number to be updated within the predetermined numerical range, is updated. That is, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, the special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) and the special symbol used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped. Whether or not to reach as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600 in response to the variable random number used for the lottery process for the predetermined time (variable time) required for the variable display control of the above special symbol and the variable display of the above special symbol. The reach random number used in the lottery process (whether or not to execute the effect), and the symbol random number used in the lottery process to determine the type of big hit when it is determined to be a big hit based on the above special random number. A random number counter that holds random numbers such as (first symbol random number, second symbol random number), random number (ordinary random number) used for the lottery process related to the winning of the second starting port 2004), etc. I have.

In this example, the same reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first starting port 2002 is started and the starting prize is given, the second starting opening 2004 is started and won. Even in this case, the reach random number is configured to be acquired from the same counter that updates the reach random number, but the execution ratio of the reach effect is determined by acquiring from counters that have different ranges of random numbers that update the reach random number. It may be different, or it corresponds to the first reach judgment table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol as the reach judgment table to be compared with the acquired reach random numbers, and is different from the first reach judgment table. By providing a second reach determination table in which a determination value is set, the execution ratio of the reach effect may be different.

In the process of step S2, the counter operation of the random number counter is performed so that only the random numbers (variable random numbers) that are not related to the winning of these random numbers are updated. After the processes of steps S1 and S2 are performed in this way, only the process of step S2 is basically repeated. However, in this embodiment, for example, the following timer interrupt control is performed every 4 mS.

FIG. 118B is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU of the main control board 1310.

As shown in FIG. 118 (b), in this interrupt control, first, a register save process is performed as the process of step S11. Next, as the process of step S12, the gate sensor 2301, the first start port sensor 3002, the second start port sensor 2511, the first count sensor 2512, the second count sensor 2513, the general winning port sensor 3001, Detection signals from various sensors such as the magnetic sensor 3003 and the specific area sensor 2512a are input. Next, as the process of step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the random numbers, the random numbers (special random numbers, ordinary random numbers) related to the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol and the normal symbol is stopped are updated and the counter of the random number counter. The operation is performed.

Then, after the random numbers are updated in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs a special symbol process process including a lottery process relating to the display mode when the variation display of the special symbol is stopped as the process of step S14. To execute. Although this special symbol process process will be described later, here, basically, a special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, second) indicating the progress of the game stored in the main control built-in RAM is described. The corresponding process will be selectively executed based on the special symbol process flag).

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 executes a normal symbol process process including a lottery process for winning a hit that triggers the opening of the second starting port 2004 as the process of step S15. Even in this normal symbol process process, the corresponding process is basically selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game.

Further, when the special symbol process process (step S14) and the normal symbol process process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is then subjected to the special symbol process process as the process of step S16. A process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM to the peripheral control board 1510 or the like is performed. Next, as the process of step S17, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM in the normal symbol process process to, for example, the peripheral control board 1510 is performed.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 then performs an information output process for outputting data such as hit information supplied to the hall management computer as the process of step S18.

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs the first start port sensor 3002, the second start port sensor 2511, the first count sensor 2512, and the second count sensor 2513 as the process of step S19. When the detection signals of the general winning opening sensor 3001 and the like are in the ON state, a prize ball process for outputting a payout control command to the payout control board 633 is executed so that the prize balls corresponding to those signals are paid out to the player. do. As a result, the payout control MPU mounted on the payout control board 633 outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 584 and pays out the prize ball to the player. In this example, when the game ball B wins the first start port 2002 and the first start port sensor 3002 is turned on, "3 balls", and the game ball B wins the second start port 2004 and the first (2) "1 ball" when the start port sensor 2511 is turned on, "15 balls" when the game ball B wins the first big prize opening 2005 and the first count sensor 2512 is turned on, the second big prize. When the game ball B wins the mouth 2006 and the second count sensor 2513 is turned on, "15 balls", and when the game ball B wins the general winning mouth 2001 and the general winning mouth sensor 3001 is turned on. The prize balls of "8 balls" are paid out to the players respectively.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 then executes a storage process for checking the increase / decrease in the number of reserved storages as the process of step S20. Next, as the process of step S21, a test terminal process, which is a process of outputting a test signal so that the control state of the pachinko machine 1 can be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed. After that, the drive control of the actuator that always operates is performed (step S22), the contents of the register are restored (step S23), and when the interrupt permission state is set (step S24), this control ends. It becomes.

With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 4 mS. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the interrupt process by the timer, but in the interrupt process, for example, only the flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred may be set. However, in this case, the game control process is executed in the main process.

FIG. 119 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process process (step S14).

Assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes have been updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 119, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is first driven by the first start port sensor 3002. On condition that the detection signal is on (there is a ball entering the first start port 2002) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the above random number counter and this is built in the main control. The first start port passage process such as storing in the first special symbol reservation storage area of the RAM is executed (step S32). Further, on condition that the detection signal by the second start port sensor 2511 is in the ON state (there is a ball entering the second start port 2004) (step S33), the second special random number of the second special symbol is the above random number. A second start port passage process such as acquiring from a counter and storing this in the second special symbol hold storage area of the main control built-in RAM is executed (step S34).

Next, the main control MPU determines whether or not the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is controlled is set (step S35), and if the jackpot executing flag is set, the control of the jackpot game is performed. The jackpot control process (step S40) for performing the above is executed. In the jackpot control process, the result of the lottery process (result of hit determination and contents of jackpot type) regarding the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped suggests "15R jackpot". The first count sensor 2512 indicates that 10 game balls B have won a prize in the first prize opening 2005 after opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds). A process of controlling a 15R jackpot game in which an opening / closing pattern that is closed when detected is repeated 15 times is executed.

Further, in the big hit control process, after performing such open control of the first big winning opening 2005, the time saving flag setting process is executed. The time saving flag is a flag indicating that the time saving control (control executed in the time saving state) is being executed, and is set when the big hit game based on the big hit controlled by the big hit is finished after the big hit game is finished. It is reset by the first special symbol stop process shown in 130 or the second special symbol stop process of the second special symbol process process described later. In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the number of time reductions is set so that the time reduction control is terminated when the variation display of the first special symbol is executed five times or the variation display of the second special symbol is executed once. That is, when the time saving control is started after the big hit game is completed and either the condition of executing the variation display of the first special symbol five times or the variation display of the second special symbol once is satisfied. The time reduction control is terminated.

Further, if the big hit executing flag is not set, the main control MPU determines whether or not the small hit executing flag indicating that the small hit game is controlled is set (step S36), and the small hit is executed. If the executing flag is set, the small hit control process (step S41) for controlling the small hit game is executed. In the small hit control process, when the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variation display of the second special symbol is stopped is a mode suggesting "small hit", the second big winning opening 2006, which will be described later, will be used. After opening the second big winning opening 2006 based on the opening pattern A or the opening pattern B, or when it is detected by the second count sensor 2513 that 10 game balls B have won in the second big winning opening 2006. Perform the process of closing. Further, when the game ball B that has won a prize in the second big winning opening 2006 and is distributed by the distribution member enters a specific area, the first big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time by controlling the big hit game (for example). After 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor 2512 that 10 game balls B have won in the first big winning opening 2005, the opening / closing pattern is repeated 15 times to shift to the 15R big hit game. Control. On the other hand, when the game ball B that has won a prize in the first big winning opening 2005 and is distributed by the distribution member does not enter the specific area and enters the discharge area, it is not controlled by the big hit game and is small. After the end of the hit game, the game state (normal state or time saving state) before the small hit game is controlled again.

Further, the main control MPU is a second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area if neither the big hit execution flag nor the small hit execution flag is set. On condition that the value of is "0" (step S37), the first special symbol process process including the lottery process relating to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is executed (step S38), and the first step is performed. (Ii) On condition that the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of the second special random numbers stored in the special symbol hold storage area is not "0" (step S37), when the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is stopped. The second special symbol process process including the lottery process relating to the display mode is executed (step S39).

FIG. 120 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first starting port passing process (step S32).

Now, assuming that the first start port sensor 3002 is in the ON state and it is determined that the game ball B has entered the first start port 2002 in the process of step S31, it is shown in FIG. 120. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S41.

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 acquires a counter value by the first special hold number counter indicating the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol hold storage area from the main control built-in RAM. Based on the counter value, it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number is "4", which is the maximum value (upper limit value) (step S42). If it is determined in the process of step S42 that the first reserved storage number is not the maximum value, the following steps S43 to S43 to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S45 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S43, the first special hold number counter is counted up (1 addition). Next, as the process of step S44, each random number acquired in step S41 is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Store in.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is a display result of the variation display of the first special symbol based on the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variation random number acquired in step S41. Whether or not to make a big hit, if it is a big hit, the type of the big hit, if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed as the game effect executed by the effect display device 1600, or the mode type of the game effect to be executed ( After executing the effect pre-determination process for determining the pre-determination information (type of variation pattern) before starting the variation display according to the start winning prize (step S45), the process ends.

On the other hand, in the process of step S42, when it is determined that the first reserved storage number is the maximum value, the variation display control of the first special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S43 to S45, the fluctuation display control of the first special symbol is not newly put on hold.

Further, when the first hold storage number changes based on the game ball B entering the first start port 2002, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the first special hold number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is first held. In addition to updating to correspond to the number of stored items, a command (first reserved number designation command 0 to 4) for instructing the number of first reserved stored items is set in the above-mentioned storage process (step S20) and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. It is designed to do. The peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the first reserved storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the first reserved number designation commands 0 to 4.

FIG. 121 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the effect pre-determination process (step S45). When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 starts the effect pre-determination process, the pre-determination table (not shown) and the random numbers acquired in step S41, specifically, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, and the fluctuation. Whether or not a big hit is achieved by comparing with a random number, if it is a big hit, the type of the big hit, and if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed or executed as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600. The mode type of the game effect is specified (step S61).

Then, the specified pre-judgment information (whether or not it is a big hit, the type of the big hit if it is a big hit, and if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed or executed as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600. Depending on the type of game effect to be played (such as the type of game effect to be played), the type of the acquired special random number (first special random number), and the number of pending storages (value of the pending number counter) stored corresponding to the acquired special random number. Set the pre-judgment command. For example, in the effect pre-determination process relating to the first special symbol executed in step S45 of the first start port passage process, the specified pre-determination information, the acquisition of the first special random number, and the first reserved storage number (first hold storage number). (1) The value of the special hold number counter) and the first special symbol pre-determination command according to (step S62).

Then, in the special symbol command control process (step S16), the pre-determination command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, and is stored corresponding to the first start port 2002 in which the start winning is generated. In addition to the number of reserved memories, whether or not the display result of the variable display of the special symbol based on the generated start prize is a big hit, if it is a big hit, the type of big hit, if it is not a big hit, it is executed by the effect display device 1600. Peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 before starting the variable display according to the start winning prize, such as whether to execute the reach effect as the game effect to be performed or the mode type of the game effect to be executed. Will be able to grasp.

When the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the pre-determination command from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control MPU stores the pre-determination information indicated by the received pre-determination command. Specifically, the peripheral control RAM of the peripheral control MPU is provided with a first reserved storage area for storing prior determination information regarding the variation display of the first special symbol.

Further, the first reserved storage area has 1 to 4 storage areas corresponding to the number of reserved storage areas, and the peripheral control MPU stores the first (earliest) pre-determination information indicated by the received pre-determination command. Store in order from the area. Then, when the pre-judgment command is received when the pre-judgment information is stored in the n-th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the pre-judgment information notified to the n + 1-th (n = 1 to 3) storage area is received. Is stored and is stored in the first storage area of the first reserved storage area according to the received first variation pattern command when the first variation pattern command for notifying the start of variation display of the first special symbol is received. The determination information is discarded and the pre-judgment information stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area is moved to the N-1st (N = 2 to 4) storage area (to the reserved storage area). Shift the stored pre-judgment information). As a result, the pre-determination information of the first special symbol is stored so as to be able to specify the order in which the suspension of the start of the variable display occurs, and is discarded in order from the earliest pre-determination information.

At the time when the fluctuation display control is put on hold in this way, the jackpot expectation degree (pseudo-winning probability) of the fluctuation display control is maintained even though the fluctuation display control is maintained in the unexecuted state (holding state). ) Will be notified in advance at a predetermined timing, for example, at the time of new output of the hold display or at the time of shift display of the hold display according to the hold digestion. ..

FIG. 122 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the second starting port passing process (step S34).

Now, assuming that the second start port sensor 2511 is in the ON state and it is determined that the game ball B has entered the second start port 2004 in the process of step S33, it is shown in FIG. 122. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S51.

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and the second hold storage number is the maximum value (upper limit value) based on this counter value. ) Is determined to be "4" (step S52). If it is determined in the process of step S52 that the second reserved storage number is not the maximum value, the following steps S53 to S53 to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S53, the second special hold number counter is counted up (added by 1). Next, as the process of step S54, each random number acquired in step S51 is stored in the second special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Store in.

On the other hand, in the process of step S52, when it is determined that the second reserved storage number is the maximum value, the variation display control of the second special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S53 to S54, the fluctuation display control of the second special symbol is not newly put on hold.

Further, when the second reserved storage number changes based on the game ball B entering the second starting port 2004, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the second special reserved number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is second-held. In addition to updating to correspond to the number of storages, a command (second hold number designation command 0 to 1) for instructing the second number of reserved storages is set in the above storage process (step S20) and transmitted to the peripheral control board 4140. It is designed to do. The peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the second reserved storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the second reserved number designation commands 0 to 4.

FIG. 123 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process process (step S38). The first special symbol process process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process process and the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for determination. Since only the tables and tables are different, only the first special symbol process process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process process will be described here. In the first special symbol process process, one of the following five process processes is performed according to the first special symbol process flag, provided that the interval timer described later has timed out (YES in step S85). It will be executed selectively. If the interval timer has not timed out (NO in step S85), the process ends without executing the following process.

1. 1. The first special random number stored in the main control built-in RAM is read, and based on the read first special random number, the first special symbol is subjected to lottery processing for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped. Normal processing (step S80)
2. 2. First special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) in which the process of determining the mode when the variation control of the first special symbol is stopped is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variation control of the first special symbol is stopped. )
3. 3. Fluctuation of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the variable random number, and the variation of the effect display executed on the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the first special symbol. First variation pattern setting process (step S82) in which a lottery process or the like for an aspect is performed.
4. First special symbol variation processing (step S83) that waits until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped.
5. The mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped, which is determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped, is displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400. First special symbol stop processing (step S84) to stop the variable display of the first special symbol so as to

The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal process (step S80) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 118).

FIG. 124 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol normal processing (step S80).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 124, first steps S101. As the process of, it is determined whether or not there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state, it is then stored in the first special symbol hold storage area of the main control built-in RAM as the process of step S102. The random number stored in the earliest storage area of the random numbers related to the display mode of the first special symbol (for example, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the variable random number) is stored in the same main control built-in RAM. Read from. Next, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special hold number counter is counted down, and the first special is stored in each storage area of the first special symbol hold storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Random numbers (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode when the variable display of the symbol is stopped are shifted by the first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

Specifically, the first special symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas (first special symbol reservation storage area a to first special symbol reservation storage area d), and a start winning prize is given to the first start port 2002. Random numbers extracted according to the occurrence are stored in order from the first (first) area. Then, when a start prize is generated when a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the extracted random number is stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, and the first one is stored. When the start condition of the variation display based on the random number stored in the storage area of is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area. Various random numbers are moved to the N-1st (N = 2-4) th storage area. As a result, the order in which the variable display control hold of the first special symbol occurs is identifiable and stored, and the hold of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest hold (the earliest hold). become.

After that, as the process of step S105, a hit determination process, which is a lottery process for winning a big hit or a small hit, is performed based on the first special random number of the first special symbol read out. After that, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) (step S106), this process ends.

FIG. 125 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the hit determination process (step S105).

The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has a hit determination table shown in FIG. 126 (A) and a special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 when the first special symbol normal process is being executed, the first special random number. (Ii) When the special symbol normal processing is being executed, the comparison is made with the second special random number read in the second special symbol normal processing (step S114).

As shown in FIG. 126 (A), the hit determination table is stored in the main control built-in ROM and is provided for each type of special random number (first special random number, second special random number). Then, in the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the first special random number, there are three types of hit determination values that match the jackpot determination value indicating that the two types of first special random numbers have won the jackpot and are different from the jackpot determination value. Each of the first special random numbers matches the big hit judgment value indicating that the first special random number has won a small hit, and matches the loss judgment value indicating that the 265 types of first special random numbers are lost. It is associated (big hit probability; 1/135, small hit probability; 3/270). Further, in this example, in the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process, in the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number, two types of second special random numbers are used. It matches the big hit judgment value indicating that the big hit was won, and matches the small hit judgment value indicating that 113 kinds of second special random numbers different from the big hit judgment value have won the small hit, and 155 kinds of the second special. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the loss determination value indicating that the random numbers are lost (big hit probability; 1/135, small hit probability; 113/270). That is, the judgment table referred to for comparison with the second special random number is configured to have a higher probability of being judged as a small hit than the hit judgment table referred to for comparison with the first special random number. , When the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 is executed than when the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start prize to the first start port 2002 is executed. It is becoming more advantageous for the player.

The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has the hit determination table and a special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing, or the second special read in the second special symbol normal processing). As a result of comparison with the random number), if it is determined to be a big hit (step S115), the big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation has won the big hit is set (step S116), and the hit determination process is terminated.

Further, as a result of comparison between the selected hit determination table and the special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing or the second special random number read in the second special symbol normal processing), When it is determined to be a small hit (step S117), a small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation has won a small hit is set (step S118), and the hit determination process is terminated.

On the other hand, when neither the big hit nor the small hit is won, that is, when it is determined that the hit is lost, the reach determination table is compared with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119).

The reach determination table (not shown) is stored in the main control built-in ROM, and is used when the game state is the time reduction state and the reach determination table is used when the game state is the non-time reduction state. It is equipped with a reach judgment table in the state. Then, in the reach determination table in the time saving state, the reach is matched with the reach determination value indicating that one type of reach random number is reachable, and is matched with the reach determination value indicating that 71 types of reach random numbers are not reachable. Random numbers are associated with each other.

Further, in the reach determination table in the non-time saving state, it matches the reach determination value indicating that five types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number as the reach random number set in the reach determination table in the time saving state reach. The reach random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the reach determination value indicating that the 67 types of reach random numbers do not reach. As described above, in this embodiment, the reach determination value indicating reach is higher in the non-time saving state than in the time saving state.

When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines that the reach is lost as a result of comparison between the selected reach determination table and the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119), the fluctuation is caused. The reach flag indicating that the reach is reached is set, and the process ends (step S121).

FIG. 127 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 127. The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variation display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the hit determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step S131).

If the jackpot flag is set in step S131, the main control MPU selects the jackpot symbol determination table shown in FIG. 126 (B) and uses the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing. By comparing with the selected jackpot symbol determination table, the jackpot symbol as the mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped is determined (step S132).

As shown in FIG. 126 (B), each symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) is associated with the jackpot symbol determination table according to the determination result (14R time-saving jackpot, 5R time-shortening jackpot). It is remembered. In the main control MPU of the main control board 1310, the type of jackpot is determined by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number.

In particular,
1. 1. Closed after the first prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor 2512 that 10 game balls B have been won in the first prize opening 2005. By repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times (14 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to be a 14R big hit game that can enter the first big winning opening 2005 (easy), and after the big hit game is over, the symbol of the special symbol changes. 14R time-saving jackpot A that controls to the time-saving state A where the state ends if the next jackpot game does not occur until it is executed 100 times.
2. 2. Closed after the first prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor 2512 that 10 game balls B have been won in the first prize opening 2005. The second count sensor is that 10 game balls B have won a prize in the second prize opening 2006 or after opening the second prize opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds). By repeating the opening / closing pattern that closes when detected in 2513 four times (4 rounds), the game ball B can enter the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 (easy) for a 5R big hit game. Controlled, after the end of the jackpot game, the next jackpot game must occur until the variation display of the first special symbol is executed 5 times or the variation display of the second special symbol is executed once. If the state is terminated, the time saving state B is controlled to the 5R time saving jackpot A.
3. 3. Closed after the second prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the second count sensor 2513 that 10 game balls B have been won in the second prize opening 2006. By repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times (14 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to be a 14R big hit game that can enter the second big winning opening 2006 (easy), and after the big hit game is over, the symbol of the special symbol changes. If the next big hit game does not occur before it is executed 100 times, the state will be terminated. 14R Time saving big hit B to control to the time saving state A
4. Closed after the first prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor 2512 that 10 game balls B have been won in the first prize opening 2005. The second count sensor is that 10 game balls B have won a prize in the second prize opening 2006 or after opening the second prize opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds). By repeating the opening / closing pattern that closes when detected in 2513 four times (4 rounds), the game ball B can enter the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 (easy) for a 5R big hit game. Controlled, after the end of the jackpot game, the next jackpot game must occur until the variation display of the first special symbol is executed 5 times or the variation display of the second special symbol is executed once. 5R time saving jackpot B to control to time saving state B when the state ends

In the jackpot symbol determination table to be compared with the first symbol random number, 6 judgment values are distributed when the 14R time-saving jackpot A is obtained, and 94 judgment values are distributed when the 5R time-saving jackpot A is obtained. There is. That is, when a lottery result that is a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the first special random number, there is a 6% probability that the 14R time saving jackpot A will be obtained, and a 94% probability that the 5R time saving jackpot A will be obtained. Similarly, in the jackpot symbol determination table to be compared with the second symbol random number, 58 judgment values are distributed when the 14R time-saving jackpot B is obtained, and 42 judgment values are distributed when the 5R time-saving jackpot B is obtained. ing. That is, when a lottery result that is a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the second special random number, there is a 58% probability that the 14R time saving big hit B will be obtained, and a 42% probability that the 5R time saving big hit B will be obtained. As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the second symbol random number has a higher probability of being determined as a 14R time-saving jackpot than the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the first symbol random number. When the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 is executed rather than the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start prize to the first start port 2002. It is in an advantageous state for the player.

Further, when a lottery result for a big hit is obtained, the game state after the big hit game is completed is determined according to the type of the big hit. Then, in the big hit control process (step S40), after controlling the big hit game, a process of setting a time saving flag based on the determination result and a process of setting the time saving number according to the type of the big hit in the time saving number counter are performed. Will be executed.

Specifically, when it is determined that the jackpots of "14R time-saving jackpot A" and "14R time-saving jackpot B" have been obtained, a special symbol (first special symbol) is executed after the jackpot game for 14 rounds is executed. When it is judged that the time-saving state is controlled until the symbol fluctuation of (the sum of the second special symbol and the second special symbol) is executed 100 times, and the big hits of "5R time-saving jackpot A" and "5R time-saving jackpot B" are obtained. After the big hit game for 5 rounds is executed, the time is controlled until the variation display of the first special symbol is executed 5 times or the variation display of the second special symbol is executed once. In this way, when a lottery result that is a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the first special random number, it is always controlled to a time saving state after the end of the big hit game, and similarly, a lottery result that is a big hit by a lottery based on the second special random number. Even if the game is obtained, the time is always reduced after the big hit game is completed. However, when the big hits of "14R time saving big hit A" and "14R time saving big hit B" are obtained, the big hit game is more than the case where the big hits of "5R time saving big hit A" and "5R time saving big hit B" are obtained. It is controlled to shorten the time for a long time after execution.

If the 14R time-saving jackpot A is determined, the 14R time-saving jackpot A symbol is determined as the 14R jackpot symbol of the first special symbol, and if the 5R time-saving jackpot A is determined, the 5R jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is 5R. Time saving jackpot A symbol is decided. If the 14R time-saving jackpot B is determined in the second special symbol stop symbol setting process, the 14R time-saving jackpot B symbol is determined as the 14R jackpot symbol of the second special symbol, and if it is determined to be the 5R time-saving jackpot B, the second special symbol is determined. (Ii) As the 5R jackpot symbol of the special symbol, the 5R time-saving jackpot B symbol is determined.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is determined to be a lost symbol when the jackpot flag is not set (step S136).

Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines the above lottery result (type of big hit, small hit, reach loss, or loss) as the process of step S137. A determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result is set so that the instruction (which may indicate the mode of the stop symbol of the first special symbol) is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. After that, as the process of step S138, this process ends when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

The peripheral control MPU displays and controls the effect display device 1600 based on the received determination result notification command and fluctuation pattern command. On the effect display device 1600, decorative symbols corresponding to the first special symbol on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 are variablely displayed. Specifically, in the peripheral control MPU, as a mode (stop symbol) when the fluctuation of the decorative symbol is stopped, when the jackpot is specified from the received determination result notification command, the jackpot symbol (left, middle, right decorative symbol) is displayed. When the same symbol combination of [0] to [8] is determined and the reach loss is specified, the loss symbol with reach (the left and right decorative symbols are the same symbol of [0] to [8]). If you decide on a combination of symbols with different middle decorative symbols; reach loss symbol) and specify a loss, at least left / right of the left / middle / right decorative symbols that do not accompany the reach. It is determined to be a combination in which the decorative symbols of are different symbols), and the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command elapses (at the end of the game effect).

FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first fluctuation pattern setting process (step S82).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first fluctuation pattern setting process should be performed, the jackpot flag is set in the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 as shown in FIG. 128. If this is done (step S141), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of a jackpot according to the type of jackpot determined in step S132 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is selected (step S142), and the reach flag is set. If it is set (step S145), the variation pattern table at the time of reach (not shown) is selected (step S146), and if neither the jackpot flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, a normal loss (reach effect). In the case of loss), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of loss is selected (step S147).

Then, the variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S148), and the determination variation pattern is started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 1510 is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started (step S149). Further, the main control MPU sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S150). As a result, the variation display control of the first special symbol is performed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 for the variation time determined in this way, and the effect display device 1600 is synchronized with the variation display of the special symbol. The production control will be performed at.

The fluctuation pattern table of this example is provided with a plurality of types for each determination result based on a special random number (first special random number, second special random number) and a symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). Further, in the fluctuation pattern set in each fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of fluctuation time information indicating a predetermined time (variation time) required for the fluctuation display control of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is described above. It is stored in a form associated with each variable random number. Then, the main control MPU includes the selected variation pattern table from the plurality of types of variation pattern tables according to the determination result based on the special random number and the symbol random number, and the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing. By comparing the above and acquiring the fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number from this table, the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is determined. As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the above special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The fluctuation pattern table is stored in the main control built-in ROM.

Further, in the variation pattern table at the time of reach of this example, it is set to determine the mode type of the reach effect to be executed by comparing the determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with the variable random number. .. For example, 164 types of variable random numbers out of 241 types of variable random numbers are set as judgment values (0 to 163) indicating that any of the normal reach effects is executed, and 59 types of variable random numbers are super reach with low jackpot expectation. It is set as a judgment value (164 to 222) indicating that any of the effects is executed, and a judgment value (223 to 240) indicating that 18 types of variable random numbers execute any of the super reach effects with high expectation of big hits. ). In addition, the super reach effect has a higher expectation of a big hit than the normal reach effect, and for a player who wants to generate a big hit game, the player's expectation for the big hit game increases when the super reach effect is executed. It has become.

Further, in the fluctuation pattern table of this example, 13 to 60 seconds is set as the fluctuation time corresponding to the first special random number in the non-time saving state, 4 to 60 seconds is set in the time saving state, and similarly, the second special random number is set. As the corresponding fluctuation time, 13 to 60 seconds is set in the non-time reduction state, and 2 to 60 seconds is set in the time reduction state.

When the variation display control of the first special symbol is started, next, as the process of step S151, it is determined whether or not the counter value of the time reduction count counter in which the continuation number of the time reduction state is set is "0". Then, if this counter value is not "0", after counting down the time reduction counter (step S152), it is further determined whether or not the counter value of the simultaneous reduction counter is "0" (step S153). .. As a result, if the counter value is "0", the time saving end flag indicating that the time saving control is terminated is set (step S154).

If it is determined in the process of step S151 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is "0", or if it is determined in the process of step S153 that the time reduction counter is not "0", that time point In step S155, the process proceeds to step S155. Then, when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol change process (step S83) (step S155), this process is terminated.

FIG. 129 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol variation processing (step S83).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 129, first steps S171. As the process of, the variation timer in which the variation time according to the variation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the variation pattern is set is subtracted by 1. Then, when it is determined that the fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the lottery fluctuation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, in the process of step S173, this process ends when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

FIG. 130 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 130, first steps S181. As the process of, display control for displaying the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, and the effect display device 1600 is used for the display control. (I) A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol of the special symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S182).

Next, when the time saving end flag is set (step S183), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 resets the time saving end flag (step S184) and resets the time saving flag (step S185). As a result, the time saving control is terminated when the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed a predetermined number of times (in this example, 100 times, 1 time, or 5 times). The control of the non-time saving state is started.

Further, when the jackpot flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 sets a jackpot start command indicating to start the jackpot game (step S187), and the jackpot game is started. The waiting time until the start (the time for displaying the start of the big hit game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S188). Although not shown, in step S188, a process of setting the number of rounds according to the type of jackpot to the jackpot count counter indicating the remaining number of rounds is also executed. The jackpot count counter is decremented by 1 each time a round is executed in the jackpot control process described later, and when the jackpot count counter becomes "0", it is determined that the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has executed the specified number of rounds. Control to end the jackpot game. Specifically, in the big hit control process described later, the big winning opening pre-opening process (step S91) and the big winning opening opening process (step S92) are repeatedly executed until the big hit count counter becomes "0", and the big winning opening is opened. When the round is completed in the opening processing (step S92), the jackpot counter is subtracted by 1 to become "0", and the game shifts to the large winning opening post-processing (step S93) to end the jackpot game. Perform control to make it.

Then, the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed is set (step S189). The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of jackpot. In step S187, a jackpot start command (14R time-saving jackpot A start command, 5R time-saving jackpot A start command) corresponding to the type of jackpot (14R time-saving jackpot A, 5R time-saving jackpot A) is set. As a result, the effect of the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot instructed by the jackpot start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. Further, in the second special symbol stop processing of the second special symbol process process, the jackpot start command (14R time-saving jackpot B start command, 5R time-saving jackpot B start) according to the type of jackpot (14R time-saving jackpot B, 5R time-saving jackpot B) Command) is set.

Further, the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed is, specifically, when the jackpot game is terminated, the jackpot is hit in the jackpot control process (step S40) after the jackpot is opened (step S93). After opening / closing control of the first prize opening 2005 according to the type (for example, after opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or in the first prize opening 2005, 10 game balls B win a prize. This is reset when the opening / closing pattern (opening / closing control in which the opening / closing pattern to be closed when detected by the first count sensor 2512 is repeated 14 or 5 times) is completed (all rounds that can be executed in the jackpot game). By resetting the jackpot execution flag, the jackpot control process (step S40) is not executed in step S35 of the special symbol process process (step S14), while the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 Variable display of the first special symbol and function display The variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the unit 1400 becomes feasible.

Further, when the big hit flag is not set (step S186), if the small hit flag is set (step S190), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 indicates that the small hit game is started. The small hit start command is set (step S191), and the waiting time until the start of the small hit game (time for displaying the start of the small hit game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S192). Then, the small hit executing flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed is set (step S193). The small hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of small hit. In step S191, a small hit start command (5R small hit A1 start command, 5R small hit A2 start command, 14R small hit) according to the type of small hit (5R small hit A1, 5R small hit A2, 14R small hit A)). A Start command) is set. As a result, the effect of the small hit game according to the type of the small hit instructed by the small hit start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. Further, in the second special symbol stop process of the second special symbol process process, the small hit start command (5R small hit B1) according to the type of small hit (5R small hit B1, 5R small hit B2, 14R small hit B)). Start command, 5R small hit B2 start command, 14R small hit B start command) are set.

Further, when the small hit game is terminated, the small hit execution flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed is the small hit middle process (step S401) of the small hit control process (step S41) described later. ) To open / close control of the first big winning opening 2005 according to the type of small hit (for example, after opening the first big winning opening 2005 (for example, 1.8 seconds) or after the first big winning opening 2005 has 10 game balls B It is reset when the opening / closing control (opening / closing control) that closes when the winning is detected by the first count sensor 2512 is completed. By resetting the small hit execution flag, the small hit control process (step S41) is not executed in step S36 of the special symbol process process (step S14), while the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed. The variable display of the first special symbol in the device and the variable display of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 become feasible.

In addition, when the small hit flag is not set, that is, when a loss occurs, the waiting time until the next special symbol variation display is started (the time during which the stop symbol of the special symbol is displayed) is set in the interval timer. (Step S194), the process proceeds to step S195.

When the processes of steps S186 to S194 are executed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 updates the first special symbol process flag so that the process shifts to the first special symbol normal process, which is the initial value. In (step S195), this process ends.

FIG. 131 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the jackpot control process (step S40). In the jackpot control process, one of the following three process processes is selectively executed according to the jackpot process flag.

1. 1. The peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) will shift to the jackpot game based on the mode when the variable display is stopped is the jackpot symbol. Large winning opening pre-opening process (step S91) that waits until the next round is started.
2. 2. Based on the fact that the mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped is the jackpot symbol, the first major winning opening 2005 and the second major winning opening 2006 are controlled to be open, and the next round is started. After controlling the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 to the open state and opening the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or the first The process of opening the large winning opening (step) to close when the first count sensor 2512 or the second counting sensor 2513 detects that 10 game balls B have won in the large winning opening 2005 or the second large winning opening 2006. S92)
3. 3. After opening the big winning opening, the player waits until the peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the big hit game ends when all the rounds are finished (step S93).

The jackpot process flag is operated to indicate that the jackpot opening pre-processing (step S91) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 118). Further, in the above-mentioned processing during opening of the big winning opening (step S92), at the start of a round for controlling the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 in the open state, a big hit round start command according to the number of rounds is issued. At the end of the round that controls the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 in the closed state, the big hit round end command according to the number of rounds is set. The jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command are commands transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and the effect of the jackpot game according to the number of rounds instructed by the jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command is displayed. It is executed by the device 1600, a lamp / LED, a speaker, and the like.

FIG. 132 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the small hit control process (step S41). In the small hit process, one of the following two process processes is selectively executed according to the small hit process flag.

1. 1. Small hit start process (step S400) to execute the setting process for starting the small hit game
2. 2. Small hit processing (step S401) for monitoring the entry and opening time of the game ball B during the small hit game.

The small hit process flag is operated to indicate that the small hit start process (step S400) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 118). In addition, when the entry of the game ball B into a specific area is detected in the small hit middle processing, the big hit executing flag is set, and the number of rounds that can be executed in the big hit game according to the type of small hit (5R small). 4 rounds if it is a hit, 13 rounds if it is a 14R small hit) is set in the big hit count counter, and the process is completed. As a result, the big hit game is started following the small hit game.

FIG. 133 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol process process (step S15).

Now, assuming that the detection signal by the gate sensor 2301 is in the ON state in the process of step S801 and it is determined that the game ball B has passed through the gate portion 2003, as shown in FIG. 133, the above As the process of step S802, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs a gate portion passing process such as acquiring a normal random number of a normal symbol from the random number counter and storing it in the normal symbol hold storage area of the RAM. Execute.

Next, in the normal symbol process process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag.

1. 1. A normal symbol normal process (step S803) in which a normal random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU is read, and a lottery process for displaying the display mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped is performed based on the read normal random number.
2. 2. Normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination process (step S804) in which a lottery process is performed for the fluctuation mode (variation time) of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the normal symbol fluctuation random number.
3. 3. Normal symbol fluctuation processing (step S805) that waits until the fluctuation display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped.
4. The mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped, which is determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped, is displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400. Normal symbol stop processing (step S806) to stop the variable display of the symbol
5. When the result of the lottery process for the mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped is the mode suggesting "hit the normal figure", the process of controlling the acceptance of the game ball B into the second starting port 2004 is performed. Ordinary electric accessory opening process to be executed (step S807)

The normal symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the normal symbol normal process (step S803) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 118).

FIG. 134 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the gate portion passing process (step S802).

Now, assuming that the detection signal by the gate sensor 2301 is in the ON state in the process of step S801 and it is determined that the game ball B has passed through the gate portion 2003, as shown in FIG. 134. As the process of step S811, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires a counter value by a normal hold number counter indicating the number of normal random numbers stored in the normal symbol hold storage area from the RAM of the main control MPU. .. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the normal symbol is "4", which is the maximum value.

In the process of step S811, when it is determined that the reserved storage number of the normal symbol is not the maximum value, the following steps S812 to S814 are set in order to newly put the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol into the hold state. Will be processed. That is, first, as the process of step S812, the normal hold number counter is counted up (added by 1). Next, as the process of step S813, the ordinary random number and the normal random number are acquired from the random number counter. Next, as the process of step S814, each random number thus acquired is stored in the normal symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal hold number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU.

However, in the process of step S811, when it is determined that the reserved storage number of the ordinary symbol is the maximum value, the variation display control of the ordinary symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by not executing the processes of steps S812 to S814 (the above-mentioned ordinary random number and the above-mentioned normal figure variation random number are not acquired from the above-mentioned random number counter), the variation display control of the above-mentioned ordinary symbol is not newly put on hold.

The gate portion passing process (step S802) may be performed by another example described below. For example, assuming that the detection signal by the gate sensor 2301 is in the ON state and it is determined that the game ball B has passed through the gate portion 2003, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first has the above. The ordinary random number and the above-mentioned normal random number are acquired from the above-mentioned random number counter and stored in the provisional storage area. After that, the counter value by the normal hold number counter is acquired from the RAM of the main control MPU, and based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the hold storage number of the normal symbol is the maximum value "4". conduct. Then, when it is determined that the hold storage number of the normal symbol is not the maximum value, the normal hold number counter is counted up (1 addition) in order to newly put the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol into the hold state. ), Then, the above-mentioned ordinary random number and the above-mentioned ordinary random number (the above-mentioned ordinary random number stored in the provisional storage area and the above-mentioned ordinary figure fluctuation random number) are stored in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU. It is stored in the normal symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the above-mentioned normal hold number counter. On the other hand, as a result of acquiring the counter value by the normal hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU, when it is determined that this counter value is "4" which is the maximum value (the hold storage number of the normal symbol is the hold storage number). In the case of the maximum value), the previously acquired normal random number and the normal symbol fluctuation random number are discarded without being stored in the normal symbol hold storage area, and the fluctuation display control of the acquired normal symbol is newly performed. You may decide not to put it on hold.

FIG. 135 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol normal processing (step S803).

When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 135, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs the processing of step S821. Based on the counter value of the normal hold number counter, it is determined whether or not there is a fluctuation display control of the normal symbol in the hold state. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state, then, as the process of step S822, the normal symbol is normally stored in the normal symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU. Random numbers stored in the earliest storage area among random numbers related to the display mode of the symbol (for example, ordinary random numbers and random numbers with variable figures) are read from the same RAM. Next, as the processing of steps S823 and S824, when the normal hold number counter is counted down and the fluctuation display of the normal symbol stored in each storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU is stopped. The random numbers (ordinary random numbers, variable random numbers in the normal figure) related to the display mode in the above are shifted in the first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

Specifically, the normal symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and random numbers extracted according to the passage of the game ball B to the gate portion 2003 are extracted from the first (first) area. Memorize in order. Then, when the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 when the random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the random number extracted in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. Is stored, and when the start condition of the variation display based on the random number stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage is performed. Various random numbers stored in the area are moved to the N-1st (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. As a result, the order in which the fluctuation display control hold of the normal symbol occurs is identifiable and stored, and the hold of the fluctuation display control is released in order from the earliest hold (hold that occurred first). ..

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 compares the normal figure hit determination table shown in FIG. 136 (A) with the ordinary random number read in step S822 (step S828).

The normal figure hit determination table shown in FIG. 136 (A) is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU. Then, in the normal random number hit judgment table referred to for comparison with the normal random number, the above normal random number is set so as to match the normal figure hit judgment value indicating that all 10 types of normal random numbers have been won per normal random number. It is associated. That is, in this example, when the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003, the player always wins the game.

When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is determined to be a normal figure hit as a result of comparison between the normal figure hit determination table and the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing (step S829), A flag per normal symbol indicating that the fluctuation is won per normal symbol is set (step S830), and the symbol per normal symbol is determined as the mode (stop symbol of the normal symbol) when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped. (Step S831). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S829 that the normal symbol is not hit, the normal symbol is determined to be a normal symbol lost symbol as an mode (stop symbol of the normal symbol) when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped (step S833).

Then, after the lottery process for the normal symbol is performed in this way, as the process of step S834, a lottery is performed so that these lottery results (instructing either a normal figure hit or a loss) are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Set the normal map judgment result notification command according to each result. After that, as the process of step S835, this process ends when the above-mentioned ordinary symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the above-mentioned ordinary symbol variation pattern determination process (step S804).

FIG. 137 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol variation pattern determination process (step S804). When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination process should be performed, the time saving flag is set in the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 as shown in FIG. 137. If (step S841), the normal symbol variation pattern determination table in the time saving time is selected (step S842), and if the time saving flag is set (step S841), the normal symbol variation pattern determination table in the non-time saving time is selected. (Step S843).

Then, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol (normal symbol fluctuation pattern) to be executed is determined by comparing the selected normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table with the normal symbol fluctuation random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing (step S844). ), Set the normal symbol fluctuation pattern command to notify the peripheral control board 1510 of the start of normal symbol fluctuation in the determined normal symbol fluctuation pattern, and display the fluctuation of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400. Is started (step S845).

Further, when the main control MPU determines the normal map fluctuation pattern, the normal map fluctuation time corresponding to the determined normal map fluctuation pattern is set in the normal map fluctuation timer (step S846). As a result, the effect control is performed on the normal symbol display (variation display of the normal symbol in) of the function display unit 1400 only for the normal map fluctuation time corresponding to the determined normal map fluctuation pattern.

Further, in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table in the non-time saving time of this example, 20 seconds is set as the normal symbol fluctuation time. On the other hand, in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table at the time reduction of this example, the normal symbol fluctuation time is 0.8 seconds so that the normal symbol fluctuation time is shorter than that of the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table at the non-time reduction. Is set. The normal symbol variation pattern determination table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU.

Further, when the variation display control of the normal symbol is started, the process of the normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the normal symbol variation process (step S805) as the process of step S847. End the process.

FIG. 138 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol variation processing (step S805). When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol variation process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as the process of step S851, as shown in FIG. 138. The normal map fluctuation timer for which the normal map fluctuation time is set in step S846 is subtracted by 1. Then, when it is determined that the normal symbol variation time timer is 0, that is, the variation time of the normal symbol has elapsed (step S852), the process proceeds to step S853. That is, in the process of step S853, this process ends when the normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol stop process (step S806).

FIG. 139 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol stop process (step S806).

When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol stop process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as the process of step S861, as shown in FIG. 139. The display control for displaying the stop symbol of the normal symbol determined by the normal processing of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, and the derivation display of the stop symbol of the first special symbol is notified. The normal figure stop display command is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S862).

Next, when the normal map hit flag is set (step S863), the second start port according to the current gaming state is used by using the normal map hit open pattern table shown in FIG. 136 (B). The opening pattern of 2004 is set (step S864).

Specifically, if the second starting port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time saving state at the start of opening, the opening pattern A is set as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004. That is, if the second starting port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time saving state at the start of opening, the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed when a lottery result that is a normal figure is obtained by a lottery based on ordinary random numbers. The opening pattern A is executed in which the starting port solenoid 2514 is turned on and the second starting port 2004 opens and closes in a short opening mode (0.05 seconds in this example). As a result, when the opening pattern A is executed as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004, the opening operation time of the second starting port 2004 is short, and the game ball is in the open state when the second starting port 2004 is in the open state. It is difficult to get the ball in. That is, in the non-time saving state, even if the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed, the game ball hardly enters.

On the other hand, if the time is controlled to be shortened at the start of opening the second starting port 2004, the opening pattern B is set as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004. That is, if the second starting port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time saving state at the start of opening, the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed when a lottery result that is a normal figure is obtained by a lottery based on ordinary random numbers. The opening pattern B is executed in which the starting port solenoid 2514 is turned on and the second starting port 2004 opens and closes in a long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example). As a result, when the opening pattern B is executed as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004, the opening operation time of the second starting port 2004 is long, and the game ball is in the open state when the second starting port 2004 is in the open state. It is possible to enter the ball.

When the opening pattern of the second start port 2004 is set, next, as the process of step S885, a normal figure hit start command indicating that the normal figure hit game is started is set, and the normal symbol process flag is set to the normal electric accessory. This process ends when the process is updated so that the process is transferred to the release process (step S866). The normal figure hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and the effect of the normal figure hit game according to the type of the normal figure hit instructed by the normal figure hit start command is the effect display device 1600. It can be executed by a lamp, an LED, a speaker, or the like.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has updated the normal symbol process flag so that the process shifts to the normal symbol normal process, which is the initial value, when the normal symbol hit flag is not set in step S864. At this point (step S868), this process ends.

FIG. 140 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the ordinary electric accessory opening process (step S807).

Now, if it is determined in the process of step S871 that the second starting port 2004 is in the open state, as shown in FIG. 140, as shown in FIG. 140, the main of the main control board 1310. If a predetermined time (opening time of the second starting port 2004 in the opening pattern set in step S865) has elapsed after the control MPU controls the second starting port 2004 to the open state (step S872), the second This process ends when the start port solenoid 2514 for opening and closing the start port 2004 is turned off and the second start port 2004 is controlled to be closed (step S873).

Further, if it is determined in the process of step S871 that the second starting port 2004 is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 140, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is the second starting port 2004. (Step S874), when the start port solenoid 2514 for opening and closing the second start port 2004 is turned on and the second start port 2004 is controlled to be in the open state (step S875), this End the process.

Further, in the process of step S871, if it is not the timing to open the second starting port 2004, as shown in FIG. 140, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 opens the second starting port 2004. When the number of times becomes a predetermined number of times (the number of times the second start port 2004 is opened in the opening pattern set in step S865) (step S876), the end command is set (step S877). Then, when the normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the normal symbol normal process which is the initial value (step S878), this process is terminated. In addition, the end command for hitting a normal figure is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and when the peripheral control board 1510 receives the end command for hitting a normal figure, the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, etc. are used to produce the game per normal figure. Can be terminated.

[9. Peripheral control board control processing]
Next, the processing executed by the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 will be described. FIG. 141 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the control performed by the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 141, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU performs the initial setting process (step S501). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM built in the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S501) is completed, the loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 mS progress flag T is set is started (step S502).

In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU generates an interrupt every 2 mS elapses and executes a 2 mS steady state process. In the 2mS steady processing, the processing of counting up the 16mS progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16mS progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16mS progress monitoring counter becomes 8, that is, when 16mS has elapsed, 16mS has elapsed. Along with setting the flag T, the process of resetting (setting 0) the 16 mS progress monitoring counter is executed. As described above, the 16 mS progress flag T is set (set) to "1" every 16 mS in the 2 mS steady processing, and is normally set (reset) to "0". When the 16mS progress flag is set in step S502 (16mS progress flag T is "1"), after resetting the 16mS progress flag (step S503), 16mS steady processing is performed (step S504).

In this 16 mS steady-state process, a process of controlling the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like is executed based on the command received from the main control board 1310. When the 16 mS steady processing is completed, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 mS progress flag T is set, that is, every 16 mS. On the other hand, when the 16mS progress flag T is not set in step S502 (16mS progress flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16mS progress flag T is set.

FIG. 142 is a flowchart showing an example of a 16 mS steady state process executed every 16 mS in the sub-main process. In the 16 mS steady processing, the peripheral control MPU executes the processing of steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process of step S601, the command received from the main control board 1310 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the variation pattern command transmitted by being set in the variation pattern setting process (step S149 of the first variation pattern setting process, step S149a of the second variation pattern setting process) is received. Originally, the control process related to the effect display device 1600 is executed.

Further, in the sound control process of step S603, the control process related to the speaker provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, the control process related to the lamp / LED provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to various decorative boards 184, 273 and the like is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating the random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

The processing of steps S601 to S606 in the 16mS steady-state processing is completed within 16mS. Even if it takes 16 mS or more from the start of the 16 mS steady process to the end of the 16 mS steady process, the 16 mS steady process is immediately started from the beginning when 16 mS has elapsed from the start of the 16 mS steady process (command of step S601). Do not execute (from the analysis process). That is, when 16 mS elapses during the execution of the 16 mS steady process, only the 16 mS elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 mS elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 mS steady process, the 16 mS steady process is performed. To start.

Further, in this embodiment, the random number update process (step S606) is executed in the 16 mS steady state process to update various random numbers, but the timing (timing) for updating various random numbers is limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, various random numbers may be updated in either or both of the loop processing and the 16mS steady processing in the sub-main processing.

FIG. 143 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process (step S602).

In the effect control process, the peripheral control MPU selectively executes one of the following five process processes according to the effect process flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510. Will be done.

1. 1. Fluctuation pattern command (first variation pattern command indicating the variation pattern of the first special symbol, second) indicating the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) analyzed by the above command analysis process. After performing processing to control the effect display device 1600, LED, speaker, etc. based on the second variation pattern command) that indicates the variation pattern of the special symbol, the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the process during the variation effect. Variable effect start process to be changed (step S711)
2. 2. The elapsed time from the start of control of the effect display device 1600, the LED, the speaker, etc. is measured, and the effect display device 1600, the LED, the speaker, etc. are controlled according to the elapsed time, and a special symbol (No. 1) is performed. (1) Special symbol, 2nd special symbol) Variable effect processing (step S712) that changes the effect process flag to a value corresponding to the variation end process according to the elapse of the variation time according to the variation pattern.
3. 3. Processing for deriving and displaying a predetermined display result based on the reception of the stop display command instructing to stop the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol), and if there is a loss, the above effect Change the process flag to the value according to the variable effect start process, change it to the value according to the big hit effect process if it is a big hit, and change it to the value according to the small hit effect process if it is a small hit. (Step S713)
4. Based on the reception of the jackpot start command instructing the start of the jackpot game, the effect display device 1600 performs a process for executing display control during the jackpot game, and changes the above effect process flag when the jackpot game ends. Jackpot effect processing (step S714) that changes to a value according to the effect start process
5. Based on the reception of the small hit start command instructing the start of the small hit game, the effect display device 1600 is processed to execute the display control during the small hit game, and the second big winning opening is performed during the small hit game. If the game ball B accepted in 2006 is distributed to a specific area, the above-mentioned effect process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the big hit effect start process when the small hit game is ended, and the game ball B is distributed to the specific area. If not, the small hit effect process (step S715) of changing to a value corresponding to the variable effect start process.

Special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) executed by the special symbol display (first special symbol display of function display unit 1400, second special symbol display of function display unit 1400) by the above processing. In synchronization with the variable display of, the effect display device 1600 will execute the variable display of the decorative symbol.

[10. Fluctuation control at the end of time reduction control]
As described above, the opening / closing control of the second starting port 2004 is performed in the time saving state with an opening pattern different from that in the non-time saving state. That is, if the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped and the time is shortened, the second start port 2004 is set to the opening pattern A in the short opening mode (0.05 seconds in this example). If the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped and the non-time saving state is reached, the second opening pattern B in the long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example) is used. The starting port 2004 is opened and closed.

In this way, in order to change the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004 based on the time when the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped, immediately before the end of the time saving state (for example, the number of time saving times). In the case of the time saving state A of 100 times, the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is displayed immediately before the 100th variation display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is stopped in the time saving state. When the normal symbol fluctuation executed in is stopped and the second starting port 2004 is opened / closed, the second starting port 2004 is opened / closed in the opening pattern B of the long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example) as a time saving state. Will be done. Further, when the time saving state ends after the second starting port 2004 is opened, the opening pattern in the time saving state is executed even though the time saving state has ended, which may give the player a sense of discomfort. In addition, a starting prize may be awarded to the second starting port 2004 at an unexpected time such as after the symbol change is started in the non-time saving state after the end of the time saving state, which is not intended by the game designer. Behavior (In the non-time saving state, the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is mainly executed and the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is hardly executed. However, despite the non-time saving state, the second starting port 2004 is reached. The start prize is generated and the change display of the second special symbol is executed), and at the same time, the behavior causes a sense of discomfort to the player, which may lead to a decrease in the interest of the game.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the special symbol that is variablely displayed on the special symbol display (first special symbol display, second special symbol display) of the function display unit 1400 is stopped at a lost symbol (for example, the first). (1) Special symbol stop processing step S194), normally, "0.5 seconds" is set in the interval timer as the waiting time (time during which the special symbol stop symbol is displayed) until the next special symbol variation display is started. set. As described above, the interval timer is referred to in the first special symbol process process (step S28) and the second special symbol process process (step S39), and the special symbol display (first) of the function display unit 1400 is used until the interval timer times out. (I) Control so that the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) in the special symbol display (second special symbol display) is not started.

In addition, when the time reduction state is ended, that is, when the symbol fluctuation of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) after the big hit game reaches the time reduction number of times, and the symbol fluctuation is stopped (time reduction). When the last symbol change in the state is stopped), "2 seconds" is set in the interval timer as the waiting time (the time during which the stop symbol of the special symbol is displayed) until the next special symbol change display is started. set. As described above, in the time saving state, the second starting port 2004 is changed to the open state, and then the second starting port 2004 is changed to the closed state when 1.5 seconds have elapsed. Therefore, by setting "2 seconds" in the interval timer when the last symbol change in the time saving state stops and the time saving state ends, the symbol change of the special symbol in the non-time saving state is started before the start. (Ii) The starting port 2004 can be changed to the closed state, whereby it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a starting prize for the second starting port 2004 after the symbol variation of the special symbol in the non-time saving state is started.

The period set in the interval timer when the last symbol fluctuation in the time-saving state stops and the time-saving state ends is at least equivalent to the opening time of the second major winning opening 2006 in the time-saving state (in this example, "1." 5 seconds ") or more. In addition, if the second big winning opening 2006 has not changed to the open state when the last symbol change in the time saving state is stopped and the time saving state is finished, it is a waiting time until the next special symbol change display is started. The same time as usual (“0.5 seconds” in this example) may be set.

In this way, when the last special lottery result in the time saving state is derived (when the last symbol change in the time saving state is stopped), regardless of the presence or absence of the first holding number and the second holding number, in a predetermined period. By suppressing the execution of the next special lottery (winning determination), the time saving control that can be continued after the last special lottery result in the time saving state is derived (after the last symbol change in the time saving state is stopped). Is completed within the predetermined period, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the second hold number after the end of the time saving control. As a result, the game progresses with the unintended behavior of the game designer that the start winning to the second start port 2004 is generated and the variation display of the second special symbol is executed even in the non-time saving state. Since it can be prevented and the game progress (the game property intended by the game designer) can be suitably realized in the behavior intended by the game designer, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest by not giving the player a sense of discomfort. ..

In the above example, the determination of whether or not the time reduction state is performed (determination of whether or not the time reduction state is terminated) is performed when the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped. Although what is performed as a reference is shown, when the normal symbol variation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started (for example, the above-mentioned normal symbol normal processing (step S803)), it is determined whether or not the time is shortened. Is executed, or when the normal symbol variation pattern determination process (S804) is executed) may be used as a reference. In this case, at least, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation (normal symbol fluctuation time: "0.8 seconds" in this example) executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 during the time reduction state, and the time reduction state. The opening time of the second prize opening 2006 (“1.5 seconds” in this example) and the total period (“2.3 seconds” in this example) may be equal to or longer than the total period.

[11. Hold notice production and hold change production]
In the present embodiment, the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 based on the hold number designation command transmitted from the main control board 1310, but the hold display is displayed until the hold display is exhausted. By changing the above, it is possible to execute a hold notice effect that suggests a jackpot expectation for a variable display of a decorative symbol (variable display of a special symbol) based on the hold display. Further, during the display period of the hold display, it is possible to execute the hold change effect suggesting that the display mode of the hold display may change.

Specifically, based on the fact that the game ball has won a prize (starting condition is satisfied) in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004, a hold number designation command and a pre-determination command are transmitted from the main control board 1310. .. Then, when the peripheral control board 1510 receives the hold number designation command and the advance determination command in the command analysis process of step S601, the hold notice determination table corresponding to those commands, that is, the hold number specified from the hold number designation command. Select the hold notice determination table corresponding to (the number of hold storages) and the advance judgment information (either big hit, small hit, reach loss, or loss) specified from the advance judgment command, and make a judgment set in the hold notice decision table. By comparing the value with the read random number for determining the hold notice, the type of the hold notice pattern set in the hold notice determination table is determined. In the hold notice determination table, the distribution of the judgment value for each hold notice pattern is different for each advance judgment information (either big hit, small hit, reach loss, or loss) specified from the advance judgment command, and each hold is held. The appearance rate of the notice pattern is different.

Further, when a game ball wins a prize (starting condition is satisfied) in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004, the number of holdings (number of holding storages) specified from the holding number designation command increases, so that the effect is displayed. One hold display is added to and displayed on the device 1600. On the other hand, when the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) based on the hold display is started (the start condition is satisfied), the number of holds (the number of holds stored) specified from the hold number specification command decreases. , The hold display in the effect display device 1600 is erased. Then, during the display period from when the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 until the hold display is erased, the display mode of the hold display is displayed based on the hold notice pattern, and the hold display and the hold display are displayed. Allows the display mode of the hold display to be changed each time the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) based on another hold display is started (the start condition is satisfied). In the present embodiment, the reserved display is deleted when the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) based on the reserved display is started (the start condition is satisfied), but the decorative symbol of the decorative symbol is deleted. Even after the start of the variable display (variable display of the special symbol), the hold display may be continuously displayed and the display mode of the hold display may be changeable. In such a case, before and after the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) based on the hold display, the position where the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 moves like other hold displays. It may be suggested that the display mode of the hold display may be changed by executing the hold change effect (hold move change effect, moguri hold change effect, billiard hold change effect) described later.

Next, a hold notice determination table in which a plurality of types of hold notice patterns are set for each hold number (holding storage number) specified from the hold number designation command will be described with reference to FIGS. 144 and 145. The hold notice determination table is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510. FIG. 144 (A) is a hold notice determination table used when hold 1 is lit (hold number = 1), and FIG. 144 (B) is a hold notice decision to be used when hold 2 is lit (hold number = 2). It is a table, FIG. 144 (C) is a hold notice determination table used when hold 3 is lit (hold number = 3), and FIG. 145 (D) is used when hold 4 is lit (hold number = 4). It is a hold notice decision table to be done.

As described above, a plurality of types of hold notice patterns are set in the hold notice determination table corresponding to the hold number (hold storage number), and these hold notice patterns have the hold number (hold) at the time of winning. How the display mode of the hold display in the effect display device 1600 changes each time the hold memory is consumed is set by the amount of the number of memories). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 144 (A), the display mode of the hold display in the effect display device 1600 may change in the hold notice determination table used when the hold 1 is lit (number of holds = 1). There is no (ie, only digests the hold display) associated with a hold notice pattern in which only one hold display display mode is set. Further, as shown in FIG. 144 (B), the display mode of the hold display can be changed once before the hold display is exhausted in the hold notice determination table used when the hold 2 is lit (number of holds = 2). Therefore, a hold notice pattern in which the display mode of the hold display for two times is set is associated. Further, as shown in FIG. 144 (C), in the hold notice determination table used when the hold 3 is lit (number of holds = 3), the display mode of the hold display can be changed twice before the hold display is exhausted. Therefore, a hold notice pattern in which the display mode of the hold display for three times is set is associated. Further, as shown in FIG. 145 (D), the display mode of the hold display can be changed three times before the hold display is exhausted in the hold notice determination table used when the hold 4 is lit (number of holds = 4). Therefore, a hold notice pattern in which the display mode of the hold display for four times is set is associated.

Further, as the display mode of the hold display in the effect display device 1600 set in the hold notice pattern, four displays are displayed so that the hold display is displayed in any one of white (basic color), blue, red, and rainbow color. Aspects are provided. When determining the hold notice pattern from the hold notice determination table, as a result of the display mode of the hold display changing to the end, the expectation of a big hit is high in the order of white (basic color) → blue → red → rainbow color. It is set to be. That is, when the lottery result is specified as a big hit as the pre-judgment information, a hold notice pattern having a high expectation of big hit (for example, rainbow color) is determined with a high probability as the final display mode of the hold display, and in advance. When the lottery result is specified as a loss (loss, reach loss) as the determination information, a hold notice pattern having a low expectation of big hit (for example, white) is determined with a high probability as the final display mode of the hold display. Therefore, when the display mode of the final hold display is displayed in the display mode with high expectation of big hit, the player's expectation for the big hit game is increased.

In the hold notice pattern, the display mode of the hold display does not change in the reverse order of white → blue → red → rainbow color, and the display mode of the hold display is maintained when the hold display is exhausted. Alternatively, the following display mode is set so that the display mode has a high expectation of a big hit. For this reason, even if the display mode of the hold display is displayed in a display mode with a low jackpot expectation, there is a possibility that the display mode may change to a display mode with a high jackpot expectation when the hold display is exhausted. The aspect can be noticed with expectation until the end.

In addition, in the hold notice pattern, it is not always necessary to change the display mode of the hold display in the order of blue → red → rainbow color after the display mode of the hold display is displayed in white (basic color), and the display in the middle of not being white (basic color). Start from the mode (for example, suddenly start in rainbow color due to the hold notice pattern number 4 when the hold 1 is lit), or skip one or more display modes and change to the next display mode (for example, when the hold 2 is lit). It is also set to change from white (basic color) to rainbow color according to the hold notice pattern number 7. Therefore, even if the chance of changing the display mode of the hold display (the number of holds) is small, it is possible to display the display mode of the hold display in the display mode with a high expectation of big hit. Further, even if the display mode of the hold display is displayed in a display mode with a low expectation of a big hit, it is not possible to predict which display mode the next display mode will change to, and the display mode of the hold display will be changed to the end. You can draw attention with expectations.

Further, in the hold notice determination table, only when a big hit is specified as the advance judgment information from the advance judgment command, the hold notice pattern (hold notice pattern number when hold 1 is lit) is displayed in rainbow color as the final display mode of the hold display. 4. Determine the hold notice pattern numbers 4, 7, 9, 10, when hold 2 is lit, hold notice pattern numbers 4, 7, etc. when hold 3 is lit, hold notice pattern numbers 4, 7, etc. when hold 4 is lit). Is set to be possible. For this reason, when the display mode of the hold display is displayed in rainbow color, it is confirmed that the lottery result will be a big hit when the hold display is exhausted, and the player's expectation for the big hit game is increasing. ..

Further, in the hold notice determination table, when a loss is specified as the advance judgment information from the advance judgment command, the hold notice pattern (when the hold 1 is lit) becomes white (basic color) or blue as the final display mode of the hold display. Hold notice pattern numbers 1 and 2, hold notice pattern numbers 1 and 2 when hold 2 is lit, hold notice pattern numbers 1 and 2 when hold 3 is lit, hold notice pattern numbers 1 and 2 when hold 4 is lit, etc.) On the other hand, when a big hit, a small hit, or a reach is specified as the pre-judgment information from the pre-judgment command, the hold notice pattern (hold notice pattern when hold 1 is lit) turns red as the final display mode of the hold display. Number 3, hold notice pattern numbers 3, 6, 8 when hold 2 is lit, hold notice pattern numbers 3, 6, etc. when hold 3 is lit, hold notice pattern numbers 3, 6, etc. when hold 4 is lit) are also determined. Is set to be possible. Therefore, when the display mode of the hold display is displayed in red, it is confirmed that the reach effect is at least reached when the hold display is exhausted, and the player's expectation for the big hit game and the small hit game. Is increasing.

In the present embodiment, by determining the hold notice pattern at the start of the display of the hold display, a series of contents in which the display mode of the hold display changes until the hold display is exhausted are determined. However, as the determination method, at the start of the display of the hold display, only the display mode of the hold display at the start and the final display mode of the hold display may be determined. Then, when the display mode of the hold display at the start and the display mode of the final hold display are different, the display mode of the final hold display is at least before the target hold display is digested. May be displayed, and each time the timing at which the display mode of the hold display can be changed arrives, it may be determined how the display mode of the hold display changes. Even with such a determination method, the display mode of the hold display can be sequentially changed until the hold display on the effect display device 1600 is digested.

Next, a hold change effect suggesting that the display mode of the hold display may change during the display period of the hold display will be described below. In the above-mentioned hold notice effect, the display mode of the hold display can be changed each time the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) is started (the start condition is satisfied) during the display period of the hold display. At the timing when the display mode of the hold display can be changed, the hold change effect suggesting the possibility that the display mode of the hold display may change can be executed.

Specifically, on the peripheral control board 1510, does the display mode of the hold display change based on the hold notice pattern when the variation display of the decorative symbol (variation display of the special symbol) is started (the start condition is satisfied)? By determining whether or not, the pending change effect determination table corresponding to the determination result is selected, and the determination value set in the pending change effect determination table is compared with the read random number for determining the pending change effect. Hold Change effect Determines the type of hold change effect pattern set in the table. That is, it is determined whether or not to execute the hold change effect, and if the hold change effect is executed, the type of the hold change effect is determined.

As shown in FIG. 146, a plurality of types of hold change effect patterns are set in the hold change effect determination table, and the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 1) that does not execute the hold change effect. Hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 2) that executes hold move change effect as hold change effect, hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 3) that executes hold change effect as hold change effect, and hold change As the effect, a hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 4) for executing the billiard hold change effect is set. The hold change effect determination table is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510. Further, in the hold change effect determination table, the distribution of the determination values for each of the hold change effect patterns (hold change effect pattern numbers 2 to 4) for executing the hold change effect is about the same, and the appearance rate of each hold change effect is the same. However, the distribution of the determination values may be different so that the appearance rate of each pending change effect is different.

Further, in the hold change effect determination table used when it is determined that the display mode of the hold display changes, the determination value is distributed only to the hold change effect patterns (hold change effect pattern numbers 2 to 4) that execute the hold change effect. On the other hand, in the hold change effect determination table used when it is determined that the display mode of the hold display does not change, most of the determinations are made for the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 1) that does not execute the hold change effect. The values are distributed. In this way, when the display mode of the hold display changes, the hold change effect is always executed, and when the hold change effect is executed, the display mode of the hold display changes with a high probability. Therefore, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the display mode of the hold display changes due to the execution of the hold change effect.

In the present embodiment, the upper limit of the number of holdings (the number of holding storages) is four, but the number of holdings corresponding to the number of holdings can be displayed at the four corners of the rectangular display area of the effect display device 1600. Specifically, when the hold 1 (hold number = 1) is lit, the hold display is displayed at the lower left position of the display area, and when the hold 2 (hold number = 2) is lit, the hold display is held at the lower right position of the display area. The display is displayed, and when the hold 3 (hold number = 3) is lit, the hold display is displayed at the upper right position of the display area, and when the hold 4 (hold number = 4) is lit, the hold is held at the upper left position of the display area. The display is displayed. In addition, as a general rule, when the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) is started (the start condition is satisfied), the hold display of the hold 1 displayed at the lower left position of the display area is deleted. As a result, the other hold displays 2 to 4 are moved clockwise while being displayed in the display area.

First, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 1) in which the hold change effect is not executed, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, after moving from the position before the movement. It is designed to move linearly to the position of the shortest distance.

Further, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 2) that executes the hold move change effect as the hold change effect, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, before the movement. Unlike the case where the hold change effect is not executed, the hold change effect is moved from the position of to the position after the movement in a non-linear manner, and the hold display is displayed during the movement (before reaching the position after the movement). The display mode of is changeable. In addition, when the hold change effect is executed, the period until the hold display reaches the position after the move is compared with the case where the hold display moves linearly (when the hold change effect is not executed). There is a high possibility that the display mode of the hold display will change. Further, in the hold change effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns are provided in which the mode in which the hold display moves is different from the case where the hold change effect is not executed, and the hold display moves linearly (hold change effect). The longer the distance traveled (when not executed), the higher the possibility that the display mode of the hold display will change. In the present embodiment, the longer the distance that the hold display moves, the higher the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes. However, as another example, at first glance, regardless of the distance that the hold display moves. The more complicated the mode in which the hold display moves (for example, the number of times of crossing as the movement route of the hold display is large), the higher the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes. Further, as another example of the hold movement change effect, the longer the distance that the hold display moves, the higher the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes to the display mode (for example, rainbow color) with a high expectation of a big hit. It may be set.

Further, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 3) that executes the hold change effect as the hold change effect, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, the hold display before the movement is performed. When the hold display moves from the position to the outside of the display area, it is temporarily erased, and after a predetermined time elapses, the hold display returns to the display area and reaches the moved position. Therefore, the display mode of the hold display can be changed. In addition, when the hold change effect is executed, the position after the hold display is moved as compared with the case where the hold change effect is not executed (when the hold display is not erased outside the display area and moves linearly). There is a high possibility that the display mode of the hold display will change during the period until the time is reached. Further, in the moguri hold change effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns having different times for the hold display to be erased are provided outside the display area, and the longer the erase time, the more the display mode of the hold display can change. The sex is high. As another example of the moguri hold change effect, the longer the hold display is erased outside the display area, the more the display mode of the hold display may change to the display mode with high expectation of big hit (for example, rainbow color). May be set to be high.

Further, in the hold change effect pattern (hold change effect pattern number 4) that executes the billiard hold change effect as the hold change effect, when the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 moves, the billiard ball is displayed. If a similar sphere display appears in a predetermined display mode, the sphere display bounces multiple times within the display area, and then the sphere display collides with the hold display at the moved position, the sphere display is displayed. Is a new hold display, and the display mode of the hold display can be changed to the display mode of the ball display depending on whether or not the ball display collides. That is, when the billiard hold change effect is not executed, the ball display does not appear and the display mode of the hold display does not change after the hold display reaches the position after the movement, whereas the billiard hold change effect is performed. When executed, a ball display appears, and it is possible to change the display mode of the hold display after the hold display reaches the position after movement. In addition, when the billiard hold change effect is executed, the hold display moves as a result of the hold compared to the case where the hold change effect is not executed (when the hold display moves linearly and the ball display does not appear). There is a high possibility that the display mode of the display will change. In addition, in this embodiment, even when the effect display (the effect display accompanied by the variation display of the decorative pattern based on the variation pattern) different from the hold display displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 changes. It is possible to perform the same effect as the billiard hold change effect. Specifically, if a ball display that resembles a billiard ball appears in a predetermined display mode, the ball display bounces multiple times within the display area, and then the ball display collides with the effect display, the ball display is not included. The production display changes. Therefore, even when the ball display does not collide with the hold display, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the effect display changes due to the collision with the effect display.

In the present embodiment, the hold notice effect and the hold change effect are performed in the non-time saving state. In the non-time saving state, the holding memory on the second special symbol side based on the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 2004 hardly occurs, and based on the entry of the game ball into the first starting port 2002. Since the hold storage on the first special symbol side can occur, only the hold display based on the hold storage on the first special symbol side is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600. Further, in the non-time saving state, the display area of the effect display device 1600 is provided around the symbol display area in which the effect display accompanied by the variation display of the decorative symbol based on the variation pattern is performed and the symbol display area thereof. It is divided into a hold display area in which hold display corresponding to the number of hold storages on the special symbol side is performed. Specifically, the symbol display area is reduced to about 80% of the display area of the effect display device 1600. In this way, in the non-time saving state, the hold display area is separately provided so that the hold display displayed in the hold display area can be conspicuous, and the display mode of the hold display changes depending on the execution of the hold notice effect. It makes it easier to pay attention to whether or not to do it. In addition, in the non-time saving state, the probability of winning a big hit or a small hit is low, and it is difficult to expect the variable display or effect display of the decorative symbol performed in the symbol display area, but it is displayed in the hold display area. Since the hold display to be displayed is conspicuous, it can be expected that the display mode of the hold display will change, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game entertainment.

Further, in the present embodiment, the hold notice effect and the hold change effect are performed during the normal fluctuation, which is the stage of whether or not the reach state is formed at the time of displaying the change of the decorative symbol. Further, when the hold change effect is not executed, the symbol display area remains reduced to about 80% of the display area, whereas when the hold change effect is executed, 60% of the display area is further reduced. The symbol display area is reduced to the extent. In this way, when the symbol display area changes from about 80% to about 60% of the display area, the hold change effect is performed on the hold display displayed in the hold display area. Therefore, the symbol display area is displayed. When the number decreases, it can be expected that the hold change effect will be performed for the hold display. Further, when the hold change effect is executed, by expanding the hold display area, it is possible to make the effect content of the hold change effect for the hold display displayed in the hold display area conspicuous, and the display mode of the hold display can be changed. It makes it easy to pay attention to how it changes. The hold display area is provided as an area in which the hold display is waited and the hold change effect is moved regardless of whether or not the hold change effect is executed for the hold display. It is permissible to move the hold display across the symbol display area as part of the execution time of.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the reach state is formed as the variation display of the decorative symbol during the normal variation, the symbol display area is returned to 100% of the display area as the reserved display area is erased. .. That is, after the reach state is formed, the reach effect is performed using the symbol display area returned to 100%. In this way, when the reach effect is executed, the symbol display area is expanded to change from the state in which the hold display can be noticed during the normal state, and the reach effect as the effect display displayed in the symbol display area is obtained. It can be noticed.

In the present embodiment, the symbol display area is reduced to about 60% of the display area when any of the hold movement change effect, the moguri hold change effect, and the billiard hold change effect is executed as the hold change effect. , The rate at which the symbol display area is reduced may be different depending on the degree of expectation of the hold change effect to be executed (the possibility that the display mode of the hold display may change). For example, when executing a hold change effect in which the display mode of the hold display is likely to change, the rate at which the symbol display area is reduced is increased, whereas the display mode of the hold display is unlikely to change. When executing the hold change effect, the rate at which the symbol display area is reduced may be reduced. According to this, it is not always necessary to grasp the possibility that the display mode of the hold display changes by executing the hold change effect, but it can also be grasped by the rate at which the symbol display area decreases.

Next, a specific example of the effect of the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the hold change effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 147 to 149. FIG. 147 is a specific production example of the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the hold movement change effect, and FIG. 148 is a specific effect example of the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the moguri hold change effect. Yes, FIG. 149 is a specific example of the effect of the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the billiard hold change effect.

First, a specific example of the effect on the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the hold movement change effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 147 (A), in the non-time saving state, the display area of the effect display device 1600 is provided around the symbol display area 1600a that occupies about 80% of the display area and the symbol display area 1600a. It is divided into a reserved display area 1600b that occupies about 20% of the display area. In the symbol display area 1600a, an effect display including a variation display of decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c and a symbol background display (symbol background image) around the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is performed based on the variation pattern. On the other hand, in the hold display area 1600b, the hold display corresponding to the number of hold storages on the first special symbol side and the hold background display (hold background image) around the hold display are performed. Hold display 1601a for hold 1 at the lower left position of the display area, hold display 1601b for hold 2 at the lower right position of the display area, hold display 1601c for hold 3 at the upper right position of the display area, upper left of the display area. The hold display 1601d of hold 4 is displayed at the position of, and the hold background display is displayed in other parts. This reserved background display is displayed in a mode different from that of the symbol background display (for example, different background colors), and the display area of the effect display device 1600 is divided into a symbol display area 1600a and a hold display area 1600b. It is easy to recognize that. Further, the hold displays 1601a to 1601d of the hold 1 to 4 have a white display mode. Further, for the hold display 1601d of the hold 4, when the hold display 1601d of the hold 4 is lit, the display mode changes from white → blue → red → rainbow color (hold notice pattern when the hold 4 is lit). Number 18) has been determined.

Then, as shown in FIG. 147 (B), at the time when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1, the hold movement change effect is executed for the hold display 1601d of the hold 4. The symbol display area 1600a is reduced to about 60% and the hold display area 1600b is increased to about 40% based on the determination of. Further, as the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is erased, the other hold displays 1601b to 1601d of the hold 2 to 4 start to move clockwise while being displayed in the display area. Further, the hold displays 1601b and 1601c of the hold 2 and 3 are determined not to execute the hold change effect for the hold displays 1601b and 1601c of the hold 2 and 3, up to the position after the movement. While the hold display 1601d moves linearly at the shortest distance, the hold display 1601d of the hold 4 reaches the position after the move based on the decision to execute the hold movement change effect with respect to the hold display 1601d of the hold 4. , Move while meandering. In this effect example, the display mode is changed from white to blue while the hold display 1601d of the hold 4 is being moved. As for the change in the display mode during the movement of the hold display, for example, the color at the start of the movement (white in this production example) is maintained until the intermediate point of the movement route is reached, but the intermediate point is not changed. Gradation change that gradually approaches the color after movement (blue in this production example) is performed from the time when the movement is completed, and the change to the color after movement (blue in this production example) is completed when the movement is completed. Etc. can be exemplified.

Further, as shown in FIG. 147 (C), after the lapse of a predetermined time, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c, but before the predetermined time elapses, the reserved symbols 2 to 4 are displayed. Has finished moving the hold display 1601b to 1601d. At this point, the hold display 1601a and 1601b of the new hold 1 and 2 have a white display mode, while the hold display 1601c of the new hold 3 has a blue display mode.

Then, as shown in FIG. 147 (D), at the time when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started again based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is erased. The hold displays 1601b and 1601c of hold 2 and 3 other than the above start moving clockwise while being displayed in the display area. Further, the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 linearly moves to the position after the move in the shortest distance based on the determination that the hold change effect is not executed for the hold display 1601b of the hold 2. On the other hand, the hold display 1601c of the hold 3 moves while meandering to the position after the move based on the decision to execute the hold movement change effect with respect to the hold display 1601c of the hold 3. In this effect example, the display mode is changed from blue to red while the hold display 1601c of the hold 3 is being moved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 147 (E), after the lapse of a predetermined time, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c, but before the predetermined time elapses, the reserved symbols 2 and 3 are displayed. The hold display 1601b and 1601c have been moved. At this point, the hold display 1601a of the new hold 1 has a white display mode, whereas the hold display 1601b of the new hold 2 has a red display mode.

Then, as shown in FIG. 147 (F), at the time when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started again based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is erased. The hold display 1601b of hold 2 other than the above starts to move clockwise while being displayed in the display area. Further, the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 moves while meandering to the position after the move based on the decision to execute the hold movement change effect with respect to the hold display 1601b of the hold 2. In this production example, it is recognized that when the display mode of the hold display changes from white to blue and blue to red, the hold display is longer than the distance traveled, and the display mode of the hold display is likely to change. can. Further, when the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 moves, it crosses the front side of the symbol display area 1600a, so it is easy to pay attention to whether or not the display mode changes. Further, in this effect example, the display mode is changed from blue to red while the hold display 1601b of hold 2 is being moved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 147 (G), after the lapse of a predetermined time, the lost symbol is stopped and displayed as a variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c, but the hold 2 is held before the predetermined time elapses. Finish moving the display 1601b. At this point, the new hold 1 hold display 1601a has a rainbow color display mode, but if the display mode is displayed in a rainbow color, the lottery result is a big hit when the hold 1 hold display 1601a is exhausted. Therefore, it is possible to raise the player's expectation for the big hit game.

Next, a specific example of the effect on the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the moguri hold change effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 148 (A), in the hold display area 1600b, hold display corresponding to the number of hold storages on the first special symbol side is performed, but in this effect example, hold is held at the lower left position of the display area. The hold display 1601a of 1 and the hold display 1601b of hold 2 are displayed at the lower right position of the display area. Further, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 and the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 are displayed in white. Further, for the hold display 1601b of the hold 2, when the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is lit, the hold notice pattern whose display mode changes from white to red (hold notice pattern number 6 when the hold 2 is lit) is determined. Has been done.

Then, as shown in FIG. 148 (B), at the time when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1, the hold change effect is executed for the hold display 1601b of the hold 2. The symbol display area 1600a is reduced to about 60% and the hold display area 1600b is increased to about 40% based on the determination of. Further, as the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is erased, the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is moved to the outside of the display area and temporarily erased.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 148 (C) and 148 (D), after the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 moves out of the display area, the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 moves out of the display area toward the moved position. The light is moved within the display area as if the light emitted from the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is moving as the light is moved. Further, as the light moves in the display area, the countdown of "3", "2", "1", and "0" is displayed. This countdown corresponds to the time when the hold display 1601b of hold 2 is erased, and the longer the erase time is, the closer the countdown is to "0". That is, when the time to be erased is long, the countdown can reach "0", whereas when the time to be erased is short, the countdown ends without reaching "0".

Then, as shown in FIG. 148 (E), after the lapse of time for the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 to be erased, the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 returns to the hold display area 1600b, but at the time of the return, The display mode is changed to red. Then, as shown in FIG. 148 (F), the movement of the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is completed before the variation display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is stopped and displayed. At this point, the new hold 1 hold display 1601a has a red display mode, but when the display mode is displayed in red, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is at least reachable and reachable when the hold display 1601a is digested. Since it is confirmed that the production will be executed, it is possible to raise the player's expectations for the big hit game and the small hit game.

Next, a specific example of the effect of the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the billiard hold change effect will be described. As shown in FIG. 149 (A), in the hold display area 1600b, hold display corresponding to the number of hold storages on the first special symbol side is performed, but in this effect example, hold is held at the lower left position of the display area. The hold display 1601a of 1 and the hold display 1601b of hold 2 are displayed at the lower right position of the display area. In addition, the display mode of the hold display of the hold 1 and 2 is white. Further, for the hold display 1601b of the hold 2, when the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is lit, the hold notice pattern whose display mode changes from white to red (hold notice pattern number 6 when the hold 2 is lit) is determined. Has been done.

Then, as shown in FIG. 149 (B), at the time when the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is started based on the hold display 1601a of the hold 1, the billiard hold change effect is executed for the hold display 1601b of the hold 2. The symbol display area 1600a is reduced to about 60%, and the hold display area 1600b is increased to about 40%. Further, as the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is erased, the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 is first determined to execute the billiard hold change effect with respect to the hold display 1601b of the hold 2. It moves linearly at the shortest distance to the position after movement while the display mode is maintained in white. Further, when the hold display 1601b of the hold 2 moves, the ball display 1602 resembling a billiard ball appears in the hold display area 1600b in a red display mode. At this point, if the sphere display 1602 appears in the red display mode, the hold display 1601a of the new hold 1 may change to the red display mode due to the execution of the billiard hold change effect. It is possible to raise the expectations of the player.

Further, as shown in FIG. 149 (C), when the sphere display 1602 appears in the hold display area 1600b, an image imitating the center pressing operation unit 303a in the pressing operation unit 303 is displayed in the display area, and the center pressing is displayed. The operation unit 303a is urged to be operated by the player. Then, as shown in FIG. 149 (D), when the player operates the central pressing operation unit 303a within a predetermined time, the ball display 1602 is fired and the ball display 1602 is bounced a plurality of times in the display area. Let me. On the other hand, even if the player does not operate the central pressing operation unit 303a within the predetermined time, the ball display 1602 is forcibly fired after the lapse of the predetermined time. Further, in this effect example, an operation effect of whether or not the player operates the central pressing operation unit 303a is performed, but at the present time, the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c are being displayed in a variable time (variable pattern). When the set fluctuation time) is 4 seconds or less (when the waiting time for whether or not the player operates the central pressing operation unit 303a cannot be provided), the ball is not produced. Fire display 1602. When the sphere display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, it crosses the front side of the symbol display area 1600a, so that it is easy to pay attention to the sphere display 1602.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 149 (E) and 149 (F), after the ball display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, the ball display 1602 collides with the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 and the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is pushed out. In this way, the ball display 1602 becomes the hold display 1601a of the new hold 1. As a result, the display mode of the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 changes to red, which is the display mode of the sphere display 1602, before the variable display of the decorative symbols 1605a to 1605c is stopped and displayed. At this point, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 has a red display mode, but when the display mode is displayed in red, the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is at least reachable at the time of digestion, and a reach effect is produced. Since it is confirmed that the game will be executed, the player's expectations for the big hit game and the small hit game can be raised. In this effect example, when the ball display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, only the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is displayed, and the hold display 1601a of the hold 1 is displayed in red due to a collision with the ball display 1602. Although it may change, if two or more hold displays are displayed in the hold display area, which hold display collides with the ball display 1602, that is, which hold display is in red. It is not possible to determine if it may change to. Therefore, when two or more hold displays are displayed in the hold display area, one of the hold displays changes to a red display mode (display mode of the ball display 1602) due to a collision of the ball display 1602. With the expectation of, it is possible to pay attention to the direction in which the ball display 1602 advances.

Further, in the present embodiment, even when the effect display displayed in the symbol display area 1600a changes, it is possible to execute an effect equivalent to the billiard hold change effect. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 149 (E'), after the sphere display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, the sphere display 1602 collides with the effect display displayed in the symbol display area 1600a. After that, as shown in FIG. 149 (F'), the effect display displayed in the symbol display area 1600a changes, and an effect display for notifying that the "special mode" is entered appears as a new effect display. It is designed to do. Therefore, even when the ball display 1602 does not collide with the hold display, it is possible to pay attention to whether or not the effect display changes due to the collision with the effect display.

In the present embodiment, when the hold change effect is executed, the color is changed as the display mode of the hold display, but the color is not limited to the change at the timing when the display mode of the hold display can be changed. It is also possible to "add a predetermined additional decorative display (character, etc.) to the hold display". In such a case, the jackpot expectation is made different depending on the type of the additional decorative display added to the hold display.

Further, in addition to the configuration of the hold notice effect described above, when the hold move change effect is executed as the hold change effect, not only the color change but also the process of moving the hold display "predetermined additional decoration display on the hold display". (Character, etc.) may be added. For example, when the hold display is moved by executing the hold movement change effect, the additional decoration display appears in the display area in the middle of the movement, the additional decoration display approaches the hold display, and is added to the hold display at the position after the movement. You may try to perform the production of whether or not it is done.

Further, in addition to the configuration of the hold notice effect described above, when the hold change effect is executed as the hold change effect, the hold display is displayed after the hold display moves out of the display area, not limited to the color change. When returning to the area, "a predetermined additional decorative display (character or the like) may be added to the hold display". For example, after the hold display moves out of the display area due to the execution of the moguri hold change effect, the additional decoration display appears in the display area, the additional decoration display moves out of the display area in the same way as the hold display, and the hold display changes. It is also possible to execute the effect of whether or not the additional decorative display is added when returning to the display area.

Further, in the present embodiment, the symbol display area 1600a is reduced from about 80% to about 60% of the display area, while the hold display area 1600b is reduced from about 20% of the display area, triggered by the start of the hold change effect. It is increased to about 40%. As described above, in the hold change effect, the hold display area 1600b is expanded, and the hold background display effect that excites the hold change effect is also executed by using the expanded hold display area 1600b. When the background movement change effect is executed as the hold change effect, for example, the hold background display displayed in the hold display area 1600b is replaced with one consisting of the character group of "chance!" While the hold display is being moved. You may. Further, when the hold change effect is executed as the hold change effect, for example, as the hold background display displayed in the hold display area 1600b, the hold display is being moved (erased) to the outside of the display area. You may replace it with one that consists of an explanatory message such as "If the color changes when you do, you have a chance!" Further, when executing the billiard hold change effect as the hold change effect, for example, as the hold background display displayed in the hold display area 1600b, during the period when the ball display 1602 bounces a plurality of times, "a chance if the ball is hit! It may be replaced with one consisting of an explanatory message such as ".

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 1600 is used as a display area provided with the symbol display area 1600a and the hold display area 1600b. However, two display devices are provided and a display area composed of the two display devices is provided. However, the symbol display area 1600a and the hold display area 1600b are divided into the symbol display area 1600a and the hold display area 1600b, and the hold display area 1600b is increased while the symbol display area 1600a is decreased with the start of the hold change effect. good. For example, when the symbol display area 1600a is provided in the display device having a large display area and the hold display area 1600b is provided in the display device having a small display area among the two display devices, the start of the hold change effect is used as an opportunity. The display devices provided with the symbol display area 1600a and the hold display area 1600b may be interchanged.

[12. Directing when over-winning in a big hit game]
In the present embodiment, when the big hit game is executed, the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 are limited to a predetermined number of rounds (up to 14 rounds in this embodiment) predetermined according to the big hit type. Is opened (the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 are made in a state where the game ball B can be accepted), and a round game is performed. One round game is until the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 are opened and closed a predetermined number of times (once in this embodiment), and the first prize is won during one round game. Until the specified number of game balls B (upper limit number of winnings: 10 balls in this example) wins in the opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006, or the specified time (round game time: 28.5 seconds in this example). ) Will be released until it elapses.

In the above-mentioned one round game, when the specified number of game balls B (upper limit number of prizes: 10 balls in this example) is won in the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006, the game is being opened. It closes a certain first prize opening 2005 or second prize opening 2006. That is, when the first prize opening 2005 is open, the first attacker closes the first prize opening 2005 when the specified number of game balls B are detected by the first count sensor 2512. The solenoid 2515 is driven and controlled, but at that time, the game balls B may have already entered the first major winning opening 2005 in excess of the specified number (over winning). In such a case, After the first major winning opening 2005 is closed, the first count sensor 2512 detects a game ball B in excess of the specified number. Similarly, when the second big winning opening 2006 is open, the second attacker solenoid closes the second big winning opening 2006 when the specified number of game balls B are detected by the second count sensor 2513. The 2516 is driven and controlled, but at that time, the number of game balls B that exceeds the specified number may have already entered the second major winning opening 2006 (over winning), and in such a case, the first After the two major winning openings 2006 are closed, the second count sensor 2513 detects the number of game balls B exceeding the specified number. Then, when an over-winning occurs, as a privilege for the player to be able to obtain the payout of the game ball B exceeding the expectation, a production using the production display device 1600 is used separately from the round production performed in the round game. As an over-winning production.

Specifically, every time a round game in a big hit game is started, a round start command instructing the number of rounds of the round game is transmitted from the main control board 1310. Further, when the game ball B wins in the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 and the game ball B is detected by the first count sensor 2512 or the second count sensor 2513, the game ball B is detected from the main control board 1310. A winning command will be sent to notify you. Then, when the peripheral control board 1510 receives the round start command and the winning command, the number of rounds of the round game being executed in the big hit effect processing in step S714, the first big winning opening 2005, or the second big winning. An effect based on the number of game balls B winning in the mouth 2006 is executed as a round effect on the effect display device 1600. In addition, during each round game in the jackpot game, after a specified number of game balls B have won in the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006, the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening is further awarded. It is determined whether or not the game ball B has won a prize in 2006, that is, whether or not an over-winning has occurred, and if an over-winning has occurred, the number of times the over-winning has occurred is counted during the execution of the jackpot game. do. However, even if two or more over-winnings occur during one round game, the number of times the over-winnings occur is 1 count.

Then, when an over-winning occurs, the over-winning effect is executed as an effect using the effect display device 1600, but if the type of the over-winning effect differs depending on the number of times the above-mentioned over-winning occurs. I'm letting you. Specifically, when the number of over-winning occurrences is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, or 7, one of the characters A to E is determined, and the determined character appears in a lottery effect. On the other hand, if the number of times the over-winning has occurred is an even count of 2, 4, or 6, a fixed effect is executed in which the character corresponding to the number of times the over-winning has occurred appears. .. In addition, when the number of times the over-winning occurs is the count from the 8th time onward, a premier fixed effect that does not appear in the counts up to the 7th time is executed.

First, when the number of times over-winning has occurred is an odd number of 1, 3, 5, or 7, the character A is used for the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. 150 (A). Determine which of ~ E to appear. Specifically, the type of character set in the over-winning effect determination table is determined by comparing the judgment value set in the over-winning effect determination table with the read random number for over-winning effect determination. do. In this way, when the number of times the over-winning occurs is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, or 7, any of the characters A to E is determined, so that when the over-winning occurs. In addition, it is possible to pay attention to which character appears as an effect at the time of over winning.

The effect determination table at the time of over winning is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510. Further, in the over-winning effect determination table, the distribution of the judgment values for the patterns in which each character appears among the characters A to E is about the same, and the appearance rate of each character is about the same. The distribution may be different so that the appearance rate of each character is different.

Further, when the number of times the over-winning occurs is an even count of two times, it is determined to make the character F appear in the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. 150 (B). do. Similarly, when the number of times the over-winning occurs is an even count of four times, the character G is made to appear in the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. 150 (C). When the decision is made and the number of times the over-winning occurs is an even count of 6 times, the character H is made to appear in the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. 150 (D). decide. In this way, when the number of times over-winning has occurred is an even count of 2, 4, or 6, a predetermined character is determined according to the number of times over-winning has occurred, so that over-winning is performed. When is generated, it is possible to recognize how many times the over-winning has occurred due to the appearance of the character.

Further, when the number of times the over-winning occurs is the count from the 8th time onward, all the characters A to H appear in the over-winning effect using the over-winning effect determination table shown in FIG. 150 (E). Decide to let. In this way, when the number of times the over-winning occurs is the count up to the 7th time, the character appears only alone in the over-winning effect, whereas when the count is the 8th time or later, the character is over. Since all of the characters A to H appear in the prize-winning production, it is possible to obtain a sense of accomplishment that the number of over-winning occurrences exceeds the eighth while paying attention to the premier production.

In the present embodiment, when the number of times over winning occurs is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, or 7, one of the characters A to E is determined, and the determined character appears in a lottery effect. On the other hand, if the number of times the over-winning has occurred is an even count of 2, 4, or 6, a fixed effect is executed in which the character corresponding to the number of times the over-winning has occurred appears. .. This can give different enjoyment to the over-winning effect depending on whether the number of over-winning occurrences is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, or 7 times or an even count of 2, 4, or 6 times. can. That is, when the number of times the over-winning has occurred is an even count of 2, 4, or 6, while recognizing the number of times the over-winning has occurred due to the appearance of the character, 1, 3, 5 In the case of an odd count of 7 times, it is possible to give the pleasure of paying attention to whether any of the characters A to E appears.

Further, in the present embodiment, even if two or more over-winnings occur during one round game, the number of times the over-winnings occur is 1 count. As a result, the over-winning effect is not executed twice during one round game, and the over-winning effect can be easily recognized for each round game in which the over-winning occurs. Further, for example, when two over prizes are generated and the number of times the over prizes are generated is counted as 2, the lottery effect and the fixed effect are not executed in order (for example, over during the round game after the lottery effect). Even if a prize is won, the lottery effect is executed and the lottery effect is continuous), so that the effect that the player was looking forward to may not be executed, but in this embodiment, such a situation can be prevented. can.

Next, a specific example of the effect of the effect display device 1600 at the time of executing the big hit game will be described with reference to FIG. 151.

As shown in FIG. 151 (A), during the execution of the big hit game, as a round effect using the effect display device 1600, the number of rounds of the round game being executed, the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize The effect of displaying the total number of prize balls won (total number of payouts) for winning the prize in the mouth 2006 is being executed. The display of the total number of acquisitions is based on the fact that the game ball B has won a prize in the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006, and the number of acquisitions (payout number) according to the winning number is updated (additional display). ), And unlike the above-mentioned over-winning effect, even if two or more over-winnings occur during one round game, the number of acquisitions will be based on the number of each winning ( It is added so as to reflect all the payouts). That is, when two or more over-winnings occur during one round game, the number of executions of the over-winning effect is limited, but the update of the total number of winnings display is not limited.

Further, as shown in FIG. 151 (B), when an over-winning occurs during each round game, the over-winning effect is started as an effect using the effect display device 1600, and first, the effect display device 1600 is used. From the first prize-winning opening 2005 or the second prize-winning opening 2006 provided at the lower right of the above, the effect display is performed as if light is gathered toward the center of the effect display device 1600. As a result, when the number of game balls B exceeding the specified number is won in the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006, that is, when an over prize occurs, the player can easily notice that fact, and then. You can pay attention to the characters that appear in.

Then, as shown in FIG. 151 (C), in the over-winning effect, characters appear according to the number of times the above-mentioned over-winning occurs. Specifically, when the number of times the over prize is generated is an odd count of 1, 3, 5, or 7, the lottery effect in which any of the characters A to E appears is executed, whereas the over prize is executed. When the number of times a prize is generated is an even count of 2, 4, or 6, a fixed effect is executed in which a character corresponding to the number of times the over prize is generated appears. Further, when the number of times the over-winning occurs is the count from the 8th time onward, a premier fixed effect in which all the characters A to H appear is executed.

Further, in the above-mentioned over-winning effect, the effect display device 1600 is used to make characters appear according to the number of times the over-winning occurs, but the next round game when the over-winning occurs during the round game is performed. At the start, the over-winning effect is finished and the appearing character is erased. Then, at the start of the round game, by resuming the round production corresponding to the number of rounds of the round game, it is not overlooked that the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 are opened. .. In this production example, when the next round game is started when an over-winning occurs during the round game, the over-winning production is finished, but a predetermined time (for example,) from the time when the over-winning occurs. 4 to 5 seconds) to execute the over-winning effect, and even if the next round game is started after the over-winning occurs, the over-winning effect will continue until the specified time elapses. You may do it. In such a case, since the over-winning effect is always executed for a predetermined time due to the occurrence of the over-winning effect, the over-winning effect can be enjoyed comfortably.

In addition, the above-mentioned over-winning effect is to be performed when the number of game balls B exceeds the specified number (over-winning) in the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006. However, if an over-winning occurs in the first major winning opening 2005, which has a specific area inside, there is no effect at the time of over-winning, and only when an over-winning occurs in the second major winning opening 2006, the over-winning is done. You may try to produce the time. In the present embodiment, when the first big winning opening 2005 passes through the specific area, the big hit confirmation effect indicating that the execution of the big hit game is confirmed is performed, but according to the above configuration, the specific area to be passed is specified. It is possible to prevent the execution of the jackpot confirmation effect from being hindered by the occurrence of an accidental over-winning at the game timing of.

Further, in addition to the above-mentioned over-winning effect, the lower right flock winning opening (for example, the lower right of the effect display device 1600) provided in the vicinity of the second big winning opening 2006 during the big hit game. When a game ball wins in the general prize opening 2001) provided in the above, a bonus effect indicating that a bonus prize ball different from the prize ball for winning the game ball in the second major prize opening 2006 is given is performed. You may. In such a case, it can be exemplified to control so as to suppress the execution of either one so as to prevent the overlap between the over-winning effect and the bonus effect. For example, if a game ball wins in the lower right flock winning opening during the execution of the over-winning effect, the execution of the bonus effect is suppressed, whereas if the over-winning occurs during the execution of the bonus effect, the over-winning is performed. , It is possible to give priority to the effect being executed, such as suppressing the execution of the effect at the time of over winning. However, regardless of whether the execution conditions of the over-winning effect and the bonus effect are satisfied, the prize balls will be paid out, and the total number of prize balls acquired (total number of payouts) in the round effect using the effect display device 1600. It is supposed to be added to the display of.

As described above, if the over-winning effect is not executed even though the over-winning occurs, it is not counted as the number of times the over-winning occurs. As a result, when the over-winning effect is executed next time, the lottery effect and the fixed effect are executed in order with respect to the already executed over-winning effect, which gives the player a sense of discomfort. Can be prevented.

In the above, when the over-winning occurs during the execution of the bonus effect, the execution of the over-winning effect is suppressed, but only when the number of times the over-winning occurs is the 8th or later count. It may be replaced with an over-winning effect (premier fixed effect). In this way, when the number of times the over-winning has occurred is the count of the 8th time or later, the number of times the over-winning has occurred is the 8th time or later by surely executing the premier production as the over-winning effect. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling a loss such as not being able to see the premier production even though the count is.

[13. Modification example of the light emission display of the light guide plate]
Next, a modification of the light emission display of the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 152 and 153. In the pachinko machine 1 of the modified example, the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 are mounted on the first LED group 2630a and the second LED group 2630b in response to the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 301. , The third LED group 2630c and the fourth LED group 2630d are made to emit light in this order, and the first picture 2614a, the second picture 2614b, the third picture 2614c, and the fourth picture 2614d are made to emit light in this order, and the center of the front light guide plate 2610. It produces a light-emitting effect like an animation with a movement that spreads from the outside to the outside.

Specifically, when the decorative symbols in the left column and the right column are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same symbol (“7” in this example) as a variable display of the decorative symbols in the effect display device 1600, all are formed in a reach state. The decorative design of the above is reduced and displayed in the lower left of the effect display device 1600, and the first LED group 2630a among the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 is made to emit light as a reach effect or the like, and the first LED group 2630a is emitted in the light guide plate main body 2611. By incident light from one specific light input unit 2612a, the first pattern 2614a surrounding the vicinity of the center of the front light guide plate 2610 is made to emit light, and the effect display device is visible through the portion surrounded by the first pattern 2614a. "Press the button!" Is displayed on the 1600 (FIG. 152 (A)).

Then, when the player presses the pressing operation unit 303 within a predetermined period (for example, within 5 seconds), the decorative symbol in the left column is reduced and displayed in the lower left of the effect display device 1600, and the decorative symbol in the right column is displayed as an effect. While the display is reduced to the lower right of the device 1600, the decorative design in the middle row is displayed in the center of the effect display device 1600 so that it can be visually recognized through the portion surrounded by the first pattern 2614a, and then the decorative design in the middle row is displayed on the left. A symbol different from the decorative symbols in the columns and the right column (“6” in this example) is temporarily stopped and displayed (FIG. 152 (B)).

Next, the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 are made to emit light in the order of the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group 2630d, and the second specific light enters into the light guide plate main body 2611. By incident light from the unit 2612b, the third specific light input unit 2612c, and the fourth specific light input unit 2612d, the second pattern 2614b (FIG. 152 (B)), the third pattern 2614c (FIG. 152 (C)), The fourth pattern 2614d (FIG. 152 (D)) is made to emit light in this order, and a light emitting effect like an animation with a movement that spreads outward from the center of the front light guide plate 2610 is performed.

In the front effect unit 2600 of this example, a reflector (not shown) attached to a part of the right side of the front light guide plate 2610 and a reflector attached to the upper surface of the reflector toward the right side of the front light guide plate 2610. A front light guide plate decorative substrate (not shown) on which a plurality of LEDs 2660 that irradiate light are mounted, and light emitted from each of the plurality of LEDs 2660s provided in front of the plurality of LEDs 2660s are collected to increase the intensity of the light. It includes a light collecting member 2670 and. Further, on the back surface of the light guide plate main body 2611, a plurality of fine reflection recesses 2616 for reflecting the light incident from the plurality of LEDs 2660 forward are formed.

Then, by causing the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 to emit light in the order of the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group 2630d, the first pattern 2614a is emitted. , The second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d are emitted in this order, and the light emitting effect like an animation with a movement that spreads outward from the center of the front light guide plate 2610 is performed several times (1). After that, the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 may be mounted on the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group. By stopping one of the 2630d in a light emitting state and causing a plurality of LEDs 2660 to emit light to inject light into the light guide plate main body 2611 from the upper right side of the light guide plate main body 2611, the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to The shot-out pattern 2615 in the form of shooting through the decorative pattern in the middle row, which is visible through the center of the fourth pattern 2614d), is made to emit light, and the decorative pattern in the middle row is cracked by being shot by the shot-out pattern 2615. This aspect is displayed on the effect display device 1600 (FIG. 152 (D)). At this time, in synchronization with the light emission of the plurality of LEDs 2660, an arrow of light is emitted toward the center of the front light guide plate 2610 to the effect display device 1600 located at the back of the light guide plate main body 2611 to shoot through the center of the pattern 2614. By performing such an effect display and then disappearing this image, the shot-out pattern 2615 is assisted (auxiliary display).

Specifically, the back portion of the shot-out pattern 2615 (sufficient to cover at least a part thereof, and includes an area other than the back portion of the shot-out pattern 2615) so that the light gradually advances in a direction gradually away from the vicinity of the plurality of LEDs 2660. After gradually displaying the image (which may be one) to complete the image overlapping with the shot-out pattern 2615, the arrow of light emitted from the plurality of LEDs 2660 is the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a) by eliminating this image. -Movement that shoots through the center of the fourth pattern 2614d), thereby spreading outward from the center of the front light guide plate 2610 in the order of the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d. It is designed to produce an effect such as an animation in which the light emission effect has stopped.

Further, the shot-out pattern 2615 includes a portion displayed in the upper layer and a portion displayed in the lower layer with respect to the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d). Specifically, on the surface side of the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d) on the front side of the part of the shot-out pattern 2615 that is stuck in the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d). The part indicating that there is (the right part of the shot-out pattern 2615 that is divided into left and right) is displayed on the upper layer with respect to the picture 2614 (first picture 2614a to fourth picture 2614d), and the shot-out picture is displayed. Of the 2615, the part (displayed divided into left and right) indicating that it is on the back side of the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d) stuck in the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d). The left side portion of the shot-out pattern 2615 to be shot is displayed in a lower layer with respect to the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d). As a result, a perspective can be expressed based on the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d), and the arrows of light emitted from the plurality of LEDs 2660 are the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d). It is possible to realistically express how it shoots through the center of.

Further, as described above, a condensing member 2670 is provided in front of the plurality of LEDs 2660 that emit light of the shot-out pattern 2615, and the light enters the light guide plate main body 2611 in a state where the light is condensed to increase the intensity of the light. Let me. On the other hand, the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 are not provided with the light collecting member 2670, and these lights are diffused and enter the light guide plate main body 2611. Therefore, the shot-out pattern 2615 can be made to emit light with a stronger light than the pattern 2614 (first pattern 2614a to fourth pattern 2614d) emitted by the plurality of LEDs 2630 of the table light guide plate decorative substrate 2640. However, the light of the shot-out pattern 2615 is gradually weakened as the distance from the plurality of LEDs 2660 increases (the reflection recess 2616 of the light guide plate main body 2611 is incident from the plurality of LEDs 2660 as the distance from the plurality of LEDs 2660 increases. By gradually reducing the ratio of light reflected forward, the light that can be seen from the front of the light guide plate main body 2611 is gradually weakened), and the light emission of the shot-out pattern 2615 also expresses a sense of perspective.

Further, in the case of a big hit as a result of the variable display, the light guide plate main body 2611 is made to emit a light emitting pattern 2615, and the mode in which the decorative pattern in the middle row is cracked is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and then the left column. And the decorative symbol in the right column is different from the decorative symbol in the right column ("6" in this example), and the decorative symbol in the middle column that is temporarily displayed is cracked (destroyed) and becomes the same symbol as the decorative symbol in the left and right columns. The jackpot symbol is changed and displayed as a fixed stop (FIG. 153 (F)). On the other hand, if the variable display results in a loss, the light guide plate main body 2611 is made to emit a light emitting pattern 2615, and the mode in which the decorative pattern in the middle row is cracked is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and then the left column. And the decorative symbols in the left and right columns without breaking (without being destroyed) the decorative symbols in the middle column that are temporarily stopped and displayed with a symbol different from the decorative symbols in the right column ("6" in this example) Is maintained with a different symbol, and the lost symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed (FIG. 153 (E)).

In addition, not only when the decorative symbol is fixedly stopped and displayed, but also when the reach effect is developed into a super reach effect, for example, in FIG. 152 (D), a symbol different from the decorative symbols in the left column and the right column is temporarily stopped and displayed. The above-mentioned effect can also be executed when the decorative pattern in the middle row is destroyed and then developed into a super reach effect. In addition, when performing the above-mentioned effect as a reach effect, the shot-out pattern 2615 is made to emit light when it becomes a big hit or when the reach effect is developed into a super reach effect, and when it becomes a loss or the reach effect is a super reach effect. In the case of deriving a lost pattern without developing it into, the front light guide plate 2610 is arranged in the order of the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d without causing the shot-out pattern 2615 to emit light. After stopping the light emission effect such as an animation with a movement that spreads from the center to the outside, the lost symbol may be fixedly stopped and displayed. Further, there is a movement such that the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d spread outward from the center of the front light guide plate 2610 in this order without causing the shot-out pattern 2615 to emit light. After stopping the light emission effect such as animation, the shot-out pattern 2615 may be emitted to derive a big hit pattern, or a reverse effect may be executed to develop the reach effect into a super reach effect or the like.

As described above, in the light emitting display of the light guide plate of the modified example, a plurality of patterns 2614 (first pattern 2614a, second pattern 2614b, third pattern 2614c, fourth pattern 2614d) and a shooting pattern 2615 are displayed on the front light guide plate 2610. Since the pattern is made to emit light on the same light guide plate (front light guide plate 2610), the perspective can be realistically expressed, so that the player can be surprised and surprised, and the deterioration of the game interest can be suppressed.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in a normal state, the central decorative body 3351 in the upper front movable effect unit 3300 of the back unit 3000 is located at a retracted position raised near the upper edge in the front view game area 5a. In addition, a pair of first protruding decorative portions 3352a and second protruding decorative portions 3353a, respectively, of the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 are provided on both the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351. It is located in the first position where they overlap each other back and forth. Here, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a is arranged on the left side of the central decorative body 3351, and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a is arranged on the front side on the right side. For this reason, the central decorative body 3351 can be seen near the upper edge in the front view gaming area 5a, and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, one on each of the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351, respectively. The center decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a decorate the inside of the game area 5a to improve the appearance of the pachinko machine 1. Under normal conditions, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a located at the first position overlap each other in the front-rear direction. Since only the decorative portion 3353a can be seen from the front (player side), it is possible to make it difficult to notice the existence of the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the rear side. It can be recognized that the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a are only currently visible. When the LEDs mounted on the upper front center decorative substrate, the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate, and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate are made to emit light in a normal state, the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second Since the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be light-emitting decorated, the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second protruding decorative portion 3352a are provided by the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a. The portion 3353a can be made to stand out, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the upper front movable decorative body 3350 such as the central decorative body 3351. Further, in a normal state, the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 are in the retracted position near the upper edge of the front view game area 5a, so that the front view game The effect image displayed on the effect display device 1600 arranged in the center of the area 5a is not obstructed by the upper front movable decorative body 3350 such as the central decorative body 3351, and is in good condition from the player side. The effect image can be visually recognized, and the player can entertain the effect image.

In this normal state, the upper front drive motor 3302 is driven according to the game state that changes due to the game being played in the game area 5a, and the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the lower appearance position. Then, the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 descend together. At this time, on the left side of the central decorative body 3351, the second protruding decorative portion 3353a of the second protruding decorative body 3353, and on the right side of the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a of the remaining first protruding decorative body 3352. The lower ends of the second link rods 3304 arranged on the left and right are attached to each other, and the upper ends of the second link rods 3304 arranged on the left and right are attached to the unit base 3301 so as to be rotatable within a predetermined range. Since it is attached to the tip of the first link rod 3303 so that it can slide in the same vertical direction as the moving direction of the central decorative body 3351, it is attached to the unit base 3301 respectively, so that it descends together with the central decorative body 3351. The left and right second link rods 3304 are the same as the moving direction of the central decorative body 3351 by the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 (first protruding decorative portion 3352a and second protruding decorative portion 3353a). It is pulled downward and the upper end of the second link rod 3304 slides downward with respect to the unit base 3301. Since the upper ends of the left and right second link rods 3304 can be slid vertically by the first link rod 3303 within a range shorter than the moving distance (elevation distance) of the central decorative body 3351, the central decorative body Before the 3351 reaches the appearance position of the descending end, the upper end portions of the left and right second link rods 3304 each reach the lower end portion in the sliding direction. Then, after the upper end portion of the second link rod 3304 reaches the lower end portion in the slide direction, when the central decorative body 3351 further moves in the direction of the lower appearance position, the lower end portion of the second link rod 3304 further appears position. On the right side of the two first protruding decorations 3352 and the second protruding decoration 3353 that try to descend with the central decoration 3351 by the left and right second link rods 3304 because they cannot move in the direction (downward) of The first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left side are pulled toward the upper unit base 3301, and this force causes the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 to be centrally decorated. The first connecting rod 3352b and the second connecting rod 3353b attached to the rear side of the body 3351 rotate in different directions with respect to the axis extending back and forth around the center of the central decorative body 3351, and both left and right sides. The first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a of the above move from the first position where the front and rear overlaps are eliminated to the second position where the front and rear overlap is eliminated. As a result, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, which were visible as one on both the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351, rotate in two so that the fan spreads, and becomes the central decorative body 3351. The four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a extending radially around the central decorative body 3351 can form one large decoration and show it to the player. Therefore, since all the numbers of the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a appear around the central decorative body 3351 moved to the center of the game area 5a, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second By increasing the number of the protruding decorative portions 3353a, the player can be surprised, and by expanding the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a around the central decorative body 3351, the entire decoration can be achieved. Can be increased, giving a strong impact to the player and suppressing a decline in interest.

Further, as described above, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearance position of the descending end by the upper front drive motor 3302, the upper end portions of the left and right second link rods 3304 become the lower end portions in the sliding direction. The two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 overlap each other until they reach (the downward rotating end of the tip side of the first link rod 3303). After the upper end of the second link rod 3304 reaches the lower end in the sliding direction, the central decorative body 3351 descends together with the central decorative body 3351 in the state of the first position, and then the central decorative body 3351 appears in the direction of the appearance position (downward). ), The two left and right first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a rotate from the first position where they overlap each other to the second position where the overlap is eliminated, and radiate around the central decorative body 3351. Since it is possible to show the player a movable effect of two-step movement by the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353, the upper front drive motor 3302 By appropriately controlling, it is possible to stop the movement (directing) in the first stage or move (directing) to the second stage, and the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 can be used. And the variation of the movable effect using the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be increased, the player can be entertained by various effects, and the player can be less likely to get bored. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the situation.

Further, since the central decorative body 3351 can be moved from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearance position of the descending end by the upper front drive motor 3302 according to the gaming state, the central decorative body 3351 can be moved from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearance position of the descending end. When the game state changes, the player can be thrilled and excited depending on whether or not the central decorative body 3351 descends to the appearance position, and the player can be entertained. Then, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position side by the upper front drive motor 3302 and moved to the first stage where the first protruding decorative body 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 do not rotate and move, the center Since the decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 move downward in the normal state, it seems that there is something good for the player. It can be made to have a sense of expectation for the game. Further, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the second stage, that is, to the position where the descending end appears, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a radially spread around the central decorative body 3351. The central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can show the player a large decoration, and the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and Since the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be lowered to make the player feel as if a bulletin board from heaven is given to the player, an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous to the player. It is possible to make the player think that the game will occur, raise the expectation for the game, make it difficult for the player to get bored, and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

In this way, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position, the movements of the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be changed in two steps. Therefore, the possibility (expected value) of an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous differs between the time when the player stops in the first stage and the time when the player stops in the second stage. It is possible to suggest that the expected value is higher in the second stage than in the first stage, and the central decoration body 3351 and the two first protrusion decoration bodies 3352 and the second protrusion decoration can be recognized. Various expected values can be displayed to the player with the body 3353.

Further, the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position near the center in the front view game area 5a, and the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position to secure a space around the central decorative body 3351. For facilitation, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be moved from the first position to the second position and spread radially around the central decorative body 3351 at the appearance position. The body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 can form as large a decoration as possible. Therefore, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302 according to the game state, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protrusions radially extending around the center decorative body 3351 near the center of the game area 5a. Since the large decoration by the decoration portion 3352a and the second protruding decoration portion 3353a can be shown to the player, the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the center of the game area 5a. At the same time, it is possible to enjoy a large decoration by the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game.

Further, when the central decorative body 3351 is moved from the retracted position to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are in the first position. Because one upper front drive motor 3302 is used to move the central decoration body 3351 and the two first protrusion decoration bodies 3352 and the second protrusion decoration body 3353. When performing an effect (movable effect) using the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353, it is sufficient to control only one upper front drive motor 3302 for the effect. The load can be reduced. Therefore, when performing the effect using the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353, the effect using other movable decorative bodies, light emitting decorative bodies, and the like is performed at the same time. However, since it is possible to suppress an increase in the load applied to the control of the effect, the control of the effect becomes unstable due to the overload, and the upper front drive motor 3302 causes the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352. And the movement of the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be prevented from being jerky, and the effect of using the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be surely exhibited. The pachinko machine 1 can be used to achieve the above-mentioned effects.

Further, as described above, while the central decorative body 3351 is descending to the appearance position, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are moved to the second position. Since it is moved, the speed at which the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a move (rotate) to the second position becomes relatively faster than the moving speed of the central decorative body 3351. Therefore, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be made to move as if they suddenly spread around the central decorative body 3351, which surprises the player and surprises the player with the central decorative body 3351 and the second second. It is possible to enjoy the production using the one protruding decorative body 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353.

I am trying to move from the position to the second position. That is, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a are moved from the vicinity of the upper edge of the front view game area 5a to the center side to some extent, and then first spread radially around the central decorative body 3351. Since it is moved from the position to the second position, when the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a move to the second position, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decoration The portion 3353a can be made difficult to come into contact with other members, and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, and other members can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, when a plurality of LEDs mounted on the upper front central decorative substrate, the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate, and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate are made to emit light, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and Since the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be independently luminescently decorated, the central decorative body 3351 and the first protruding decorative portion 3351 and the first protruding decorative portion 3353a are provided with the luminescent decoration of the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a. The decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be made to stand out, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the upper front movable decorative body 3350 such as the central decorative body 3351. Therefore, before the central decoration body 3351 and the two first protrusion decoration bodies 3352 and the second protrusion decoration body 3353 are lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302, the upper front center decoration board and the first protrusion decoration A player can illuminate the central decorative body 3351 and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on both the left and right sides by a plurality of LEDs mounted on the partial decorative substrate and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate. Because the central decorative body 3351 and the like can be focused on, the player can be excited and excited depending on whether or not the central decorative body 3351 and the like are moved to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302, and the player can be enjoyed. You can evacuate. Then, the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position on the central side of the game area 5a by the upper front drive motor 3302, and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a are radially formed around the central decorative body 3351. When it spreads to, it can surprise the player and make him think that there is something good, and can raise the player's expectation for the game. When the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative parts 3352a and the first by the upper front central decorative substrate, the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate. (Ii) When the protruding decoration portion 3353a is light-emittingly decorated, the decoration that shines greatly in the center of the game area 5a can be shown to the player, so that the player has an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit game"). ") Can be thought to occur, and it is possible to raise expectations for the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state and suppress a decline in interest.

Further, since the effect display device 1600 is arranged in the center of the front view game area 5a, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the central appearance position in the game area 5a by the upper front drive motor 3302, it is centered. Since (a part of) the effect image is blocked by the decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353, it is possible to make the player notice the descent of the central decorative body 3351 and the like and pay attention to it. It is possible to show the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a that move from the first position to the second position and radiate around the central decoration 3351. Therefore, in the center of the gaming area 5a, the large decoration by the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be surely shown to the player, and the above-mentioned effects can be seen. It can be a pachinko machine 1 that surely plays.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the frame-shaped center accessory 2500 is arranged in the center of the front view gaming area 5a, and the game ball B is located in the area excluding the frame of the center accessory 2500. Can play games that are distributed. A front display unit 2600 provided with a transparent front light guide plate 2610 so as to close the inside of the frame is attached to the center accessory 2500, and the effect is arranged rearward through the front light guide plate 2610. You can enjoy the effect image displayed on the display device 1600. In this state, a predetermined LED 2630 among a plurality of LEDs 2630 attached to the upper peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 via a reflector 2620 according to a game state that changes as a game is played in the game area 5a. When (any of the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group 2630d) is made to emit light, the identification on the peripheral surface of the front light guide plate 2610 corresponding to the LED 2630 is specified. The light input unit 2612 (any of the first specific light input unit 2612a, the second specific light input unit 2612b, the third specific light input unit 2612c, and the fourth specific light input unit 2612d) is irradiated with light, and the specific light input unit 2612d is irradiated with light. The corresponding pattern 2614 (any of the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d) is displayed by light emitted from the light unit 2612 in the front light guide plate 2610. The Rukoto. More specifically, the periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611 of the front light guide plate 2610 is fitted into the fixed recess 2621 of the reflector 2620, and from the plurality of through holes 2622 penetrating the fixed recess 2621 to the specific light input portion 2612 side. Since a plurality of LEDs are attached to the reflector 2620 via the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 so as to face each other, the LEDs 2630 can be brought as close as possible to the peripheral surface (specific light incident unit 2612) of the light guide plate main body 2611. It is possible to reliably irradiate the corresponding specific light input unit 2612 with the light from the LED 2630, and it is possible to prevent the light from the LED 2630 from diffusing through the through hole 2622, which is not compatible with the specific light input. It is possible to prevent the portion 2612 from being irradiated with light.

Then, the light incident on the light guide plate main body 2611 from the specific light input portion 2612 corresponds to the reflection recess 2613 (first reflection recess 2613a, second reflection recess 2613b, third reflection recess 2613c, fourth reflection recess 2613d). ,), The light irradiated in the reflection recess 2613 will be reflected or refracted in a predetermined direction. At this time, since the reflection recess 2613 extends in a direction perpendicular to the straight line connected to the corresponding specific light input portion 2612, the light reflected or refracted by the reflection recess 2613 is projected in a predetermined direction. Since the direction perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate main body 2611 is included, the light guide plate main body 2611 is seen by the reflective recess 2613 in the eyes of the player sitting in front of the game area 5a (light guide plate main body 2611). The light reflected or refracted in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the surface reaches, the reflection recess 2613 appears to shine, and the pattern 2614 composed of the reflection recess 2613 appears to be emitted and displayed. On the other hand, the light incident on the light guide plate main body 2611 from the specific light input unit 2612 also reaches the reflection recess 2613 that does not correspond to the specific light input unit 2612, but the reflection recess 2613 that does not correspond to the specific light input unit 2612. Since the light extends in a direction different from the direction perpendicular to the straight line connected to the specific light input portion 2612 in which the light is incident, the direction of the light reflected or refracted by the reflection recess 2613 is directed to the surface of the light guide plate main body 2611. It is tilted with respect to the vertical direction and does not reach the eyes of the player sitting in front of the game area 5a, and the corresponding reflective recess 2613 does not appear to shine. In this way, when the specific light input unit 2612 is irradiated with light by the LED 2630, only the reflection recess 2613 corresponding to the specific light input unit 2612 reflects or refracts the light in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate main body 2611. Then, it reaches the eyes of the player sitting in front of the game area 5a, and it is possible to show the player that only the pattern 2614 composed of the corresponding reflective recess 2613 is light-emittingly displayed. ..

Therefore, by appropriately selecting the LED 2630 to emit light and changing the specific light input unit 2612 to be irradiated with light, the pattern 2614 emitted and displayed on the front light guide plate 2610 can be variously changed. By displaying the 2614 in light, the player can be surprised and entertained, the player can be less likely to get bored, and the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed. Since the plurality of patterns 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610 are formed so as to be sequentially related to each other, a plurality of LEDs 2630 (first LED group 2630a, second LED group 2630b, third LED group) are formed according to the gaming state. When the 2630c and the fourth LED group 2630d) are sequentially emitted, a plurality of patterns (first pattern 2614a, second pattern 2614b, third pattern 2614c, fourth pattern 2614d) are sequentially emitted and displayed on the front light guide plate 2610 for animation. It is possible to show the player a moving light emitting display like this.

Specifically, the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d are displayed in the order of light emission, and after the last fourth pattern 2614d, the first pattern 2614a returns to the beginning again. When the light emission display is repeated in order from the beginning, the player can be shown the light emission display that keeps moving from the outside toward the center by the plurality of patterns 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610. It can make people think that their momentum is concentrated, and it can make them think that there is something good and raise their expectations for the game. On the other hand, contrary to the above, the fourth pattern 2614d, the third pattern 2614c, the second pattern 2614b, and the first pattern 2614a are displayed in the order of light emission, and after the last first pattern 2614a, the first pattern is returned to the first and the second pattern is displayed again. When the light emission display is repeated in order from the four patterns 2614d, the player can be shown the light emission display that continues to move from the center to the outside by the multiple patterns of the light guide plate. It is possible to make the person have the illusion that it spreads from the center or that it is moving forward, and it is possible to make the player feel that the playing state will change. In this way, since it is possible to show the player a moving light emitting display like an animation, the moving light emitting display by the front light guide plate 2610, which has never been seen in the pachinko machine 1 so far, is strong against the player. It can give an impact, can strongly attract the interest of the player, and can make the player think that an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous will occur. It is possible to raise expectations and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the front light guide plate 2610 is mounted in the frame of the center bonus 2500 in which the center bonus 2500 is mounted in the center of the front view game area 5a, even if the pattern 2614 is light-emitting by the LED 2630, it emits light.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game board 5 having the game area 5a has a left slider 3212 that moves in the vertical direction and an upper rear left decorative body 3220 in which decorations are formed on the right slider 3232. An upper rear left decorative board and an upper rear right decorative board on which a plurality of LEDs for illuminating the upper rear right decorative body 3240, the upper rear left decorative body 3220, and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are mounted are attached. Therefore, the weight applied to the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 is heavy, and the force for moving the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 downward due to gravity is greatly exerted. In this state, when the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) is transported or the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) is installed in the island facility of the game hall, the pachinko machine 1 is tilted or vibrates in the pachinko machine 1. When a force for moving the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 further acts, the upper rear left drive motor 3214, the upper rear right drive motor 3234, and the left slider 3212 and Since the clutch mechanism 3250 is provided between the right slider 3232 (upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240), the clutch mechanism 3250 is caused by the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 trying to descend. Even if the output member 3253 on the output side of the above is about to rotate, the roller 3254 is pressed against the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 by the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253, and the roller 3254 is moved between the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b. It becomes a bitten state, and a force for rotating the housing case 3251 acts on the plurality of rollers 3254. At this time, since the outer peripheral side of the accommodating case 3251 is tightened by the tightening spring 3255, frictional resistance is generated between the accommodating case 3251 and the tightening spring 3255, and the accommodating case is interposed via the plurality of rollers 3254. The frictional resistance generated between the accommodating case 3251 and the tightening spring 3255 resists the force for rotating the 3251, so that the accommodating case 3251 does not rotate and the rotation of the output member 3253 is locked. It becomes a state. In this way, output is performed according to the rotational load from the output member 3253 side (upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and upper rear right decorative body 3240 side) to the upper rear left drive motor 3214 side and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side. Since the rotation of the member 3253 is locked, it is possible to restrict the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 from descending arbitrarily.

Then, as the housing case 3251 rotates, the output member 3253 rotates via the plurality of rollers 3254, and the circumferential end portion of the transmission groove 3253a of the output member 3253 comes into contact with the protruding portion 3252a of the input member 3252. The rotation is transmitted to the input member 3252. As a result, when the output member 3253 is to be rotated with a strong force from the output side, slippage occurs between the tightening spring 3255 tightening the accommodation case 3251 and the accommodation case 3251, and the rotational force is applied to the upper rear left. Since it can be transmitted to the drive motor 3214 side and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side and escaped, the roller 3254 cannot be strongly bitten and unlocked, or the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decoration. It is possible to prevent the body 3240, the output member 3253, and the storage case 3251 from being damaged, and it is possible to embody the pachinko machine 1 that surely exhibits the above-mentioned effects.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, under the normal state, in the front view game area 5a, the lower left side elevating base 3151 and the lower right side on the left and right sides of the lower center elevating base 3121 and the lower center elevating base 3121. After lowering the elevating base 3171 respectively, the left side rotating decoration body 3153 and the right side rotating decoration body are provided by sliders and the like (slide mechanism) attached to the lower left side elevating base 3151 and the lower right side elevating base 3171 respectively. The 3173 is slid outward in the left-right direction, and the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 301 attached to the upper surface of the dish unit 200 below the game area 5a is retracted downward. In this normal state, the effect image displayed by the effect display device 1600 can be seen in the center of the front view game area 5a, and the lower front center decorative body 3111 (lower rear center decoration) is visible in the center in the left-right direction at the lower part of the game area 5a. The four rotating decorations 3126 arranged in the left-right direction of the body 3122) and the central movable unit 3125 attached to the upper part thereof can be seen, and the four rotating decorations 3126 are separated from the left and right ends of the row to the outside in the left-right direction. The left side rotating decoration 3153 and the right side rotating decoration 3173 of the lower left side effect unit 3150 and the lower right side effect unit 3170, respectively, and the left subside rotating decoration 3155 and the right subside rotating decoration 3175 can be seen above the left side rotating decoration 3153 and the right side rotating decoration 3173, respectively. Further, on the upper surface of the dish unit 200 below the game area 5a, an annular rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring can be seen as an effect operation unit 301 that can be operated by the player. ing.

In this state, when the game state changes due to the game being played in the game area 5a (the first special lottery result or the first special lottery result drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B into the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004). (Ii) (depending on the result of the special lottery), the four rotating decorations 3126 arranged side by side on the upper side of the lower front central decoration 3111 rotate, or the four rotating decorations arranged side by side by the lower center elevating base 3121. The 3126 rises together with the lower rear center decoration 3122, the four rotary decorations 3126 raised by the lower center elevating base 3121 rotate, and the lower left slide drive motor and lower right side of the lower left side effect unit 3150. A pair of left side rotation decorations 3153 and right side rotation decorations 3173 slide in the left-right direction by a lower right slide drive motor or the like (slide mechanism) of the production unit 3170, or left side rotation decorations 3153 or right side rotation decorations. The four rotating ornaments 3126 and the left where the left side rotating ornament 3153 and the right side rotating ornament 3173 are raised by the slide mechanism and the lower left side elevating base 3151 and the lower right side elevating base 3171. It is possible to show the player a movable effect such that the sub-side rotating decoration 3155 and the right sub-side rotating decoration 3175 are lined up in the left-right direction, and the left sub-side rotating decoration 3155 and the right sub-side rotating decoration 3175 rotate. Therefore, the player is made to pay attention to the central movable unit 3125 (four rotating decorations 3126), the left side rotating decoration 3153 and the right side rotating decoration 3173, and the left subside rotating decoration 3155 and the right subside rotating decoration 3175. At the same time, it is possible to enjoy the movable production by them.

Further, when the lower center elevating base 3121 is located at the descending end, the lower rear central decorative body 3122 is made to emit light and the lower front central decorative body 3111 is made to emit light, so that a downward arrow is emitted and the lower center elevating is displayed. By raising the base 3121 and causing the lower rear center decorative body 3122 and the lower front center decorative body 3111 to emit light by a plurality of LEDs on the lower central decorative substrate, a large downward arrow can be displayed by emitting light, or a pair of lower left side elevating and lowering. By raising the base 3151 and the lower right side elevating base 3171 to make the lower left side decorative body 3152 and the lower right side decorative body 3172 emit light, a larger downward arrow can be emitted and displayed. The effect can also entertain the player, and the downward arrow displayed by the light emitting can guide the player's line of sight to the effect operation unit 301 below, so that the player can operate the effect operation unit 301. Can be urged. Then, in the effect operation unit 301, the rotation operation unit 302 rotates, the player rotates the rotation operation unit 302, and presses the pressing operation unit 303 to participate in the player participation type effect. Can be entertained.

Therefore, since it is possible to perform various movable effects, light emission effects, and player participation type effects as described above, it is possible to present various patterns of effects to the player by appropriately combining them. Since it is possible to make it difficult for the player to get bored and to make it difficult for the player to predict the production pattern, it is possible to surprise the player by performing an unexpected production. It is possible to entertain and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

Further, four rotating ornaments 3126, a pair of left side rotating ornaments 3153 and a right side rotating ornament 3173, and a pair of left subside rotating ornaments 3155 and a right subside rotating ornament 3175 are extended in the left-right direction, respectively. It is designed to rotate independently around the axis, and has four decorative parts 3127, decorative parts 3154, and decorative parts 3156 that are different from each other in the circumferential direction. The facing surface (decorative portion 3127, decorative portion 3154, decorative portion 3156) can be changed, and the appearance (decoration) in the game area 5a can be variously changed to entertain the player. Further, when the four rotating decorations 3126, the pair of left side rotating decorations 3153 and the right side rotating decoration 3173, and the pair of left subside rotating decorations 3155 and the right subside rotating decoration 3175 are stopped rotating, By stopping the rotation of each of the decorative portions 3127, the decorative portion 3154, and the decorative portion 3156 facing the player side so that the combination thereof becomes a predetermined combination, various messages can be displayed to the player as decorations. Since it can be presented, there is a possibility that an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit game") in which the player is advantageous may occur due to the combination of each decorative portion 3127, decorative portion 3154, and decorative portion 3156 that have stopped rotating. By representing (expected value), each of the four rotating ornaments 3126, the pair of left side rotating ornaments 3153 and the right side rotating ornament 3173, and the pair of left subside rotating ornaments are represented according to the gaming state. When the 3155 and the right sub-side rotating decorative body 3175 are rotated, the player can be excited and excited depending on whether or not the combination of the decorative portion 3127, the decorative portion 3154, and the decorative portion 3156, which have higher expectations, stops rotating. , It is possible to entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the lower rear center decorative body 3122 has a plurality of light emitting regions 3122a arranged in a row in the vertical direction and capable of independently emitting light, if the plurality of light emitting regions 3122a are simultaneously emitted, one light emitting region 3122a is provided. A downward arrow can be displayed to emit light, and if a plurality of light emitting regions 3122a are repeatedly emitted from the top, the player's line of sight is directed to the lower effect operation unit 301 by the light emission flowing from the top to the bottom. It can be easily guided, and the operation of the effect operation unit 301 can be further promoted, so that the player can surely operate the effect operation unit 301.

Further, since the effect operation unit 301 has an annular rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring, the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is performed by the player. And since the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 can be performed, the pattern of the player participation type production can be diversified by appropriately combining the operations of the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. It is possible to prevent the decline of interest by making it difficult to get bored.

Further, since the pressing operation unit 303 is arranged in the ring of the annular rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 is surrounded by the rotation operation unit 302, the diameter of the rotation operation unit 302 should be increased. The large rotation operation unit 302 can strongly attract the player's attention. Therefore, as described above, when the player's line of sight is guided downward by the emission display of the downward arrow by the lower rear center decorative body 3122 and the lower front central decorative body 3111, the rotation operation unit 302 (pressing operation unit 303). ) Can be easily noticed, so that the player can be strongly urged to operate the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303, and the operation of the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 can be enjoyed. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the pressing operation unit 303 is arranged in the ring of the annular rotation operation unit 302, as described above, the downward arrow emission display by the lower rear central decoration body 3122 and the lower front center decoration body 3111 is displayed. When the player looks below the arrow, the rotating rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 can be seen, so that the rotation speed of the rotation operation unit 302 may cause an advantageous gaming state for the player. At the same time, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 can be strongly urged, the pressing operation unit 303 can be reliably pressed, and the expectation for the game can be increased. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest of the person.

Further, since the pressing operation unit 303 can be in a state of being lowered and a state of protruding upward, the pressing operation unit 303 can be seen to be large and conspicuous when the pressing operation unit 303 is in a protruding state. It is possible to make the player think that there is a high possibility that an advantageous gaming state will occur in which the player is advantageous. On the other hand, since the pressing operation unit 303 is inconspicuous when the pressing operation unit 303 is lowered, it is possible to make the player think that the possibility of an advantageous gaming state is low, and the pressing operation unit 303 can be made to think. Depending on the advancing / retreating position of, the player can be made to suggest the possibility (expected value) that an advantageous gaming state may occur.

Further, since the possibility (expected value) of an advantageous gaming state for the player can be suggested by the advancing / retreating position of the pressing operation unit 303, as described above, the lower rear center decorative body 3122 and the lower front When the downward arrow is emitted by the central decorative body 3111 or the like, the player can be thrilled depending on whether or not the pressing operation unit 303 protrudes, which raises the player's expectation and the pressing operation. The pressing operation of the unit 303 can be enjoyed, the player is less likely to get bored, and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed.

Further, since the effect display device 1600 capable of displaying the effect image is provided in the center of the front view game area 5a, in addition to the game performed in the game area 5a, the effect image displayed on the effect display device 1600 is used. It is also possible to entertain the player, make it difficult for the player to get bored, and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the effect display device 1600 is arranged in the center of the front view game area 5a behind the lower movable effect unit 3100, the lower center elevating base 3121 is used together with the lower rear center decorative body 3122 according to the game state. The four rotating decorations 3126 can be raised, or the left side rotating decoration 3153 and the right side rotating decoration can be raised together with the lower left side decoration 3152 and the lower right side decoration 3172 by the lower left side lifting base 3151 and the lower right side lifting base 3171. When the body 3173 is raised, a part of the effect image displayed on the effect display device 1600 is obstructed by the four rotating decorative bodies 3126, the left side rotating decorative body 3153, the right side rotating decorative body 3173, and the like. Since it is possible to make the player notice the rise of the four rotating decorations 3126, the left side rotating decoration 3153, the right side rotating decoration 3173, etc., it is possible to surely show the player the effect using them. It is possible to entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the effect image can be displayed in the center of the front view game area 5a, as described above, the lower front center decorative body 3111, the lower rear center decorative body 3122, the lower left side decorative body 3152, and the lower right side. When the player is urged to operate the lower effect operation unit 301 by emitting a downward arrow by the decorative body 3172 or the like, the effect display device 1600 is used to display an effect image for urging the operation of the effect operation unit 301 or an effect operation unit. By displaying an effect image explaining the operation of the 301, an effect image showing the relationship between the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous and the effect operation unit 301, and the like, the effect operation unit 301 is displayed to the player. Participation in the player participation type production can be strongly encouraged, and the production operation unit 301 can be easily operated, so that the player participation type production can be enjoyed and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed. ..

Further, as described above, since various combinations of effects can be shown to the player, for example, the lower center elevating base 3121, the lower left side elevating base 3151, and the lower right side elevating base 3171 are usually lowered. When the left and right left side rotation decorations 3153 and the right side rotation decorations 3173 are moved to the center side in the left-right direction by the slide mechanism such as the lower left slide drive motor and the lower right slide drive motor from the state, they are lined up side by side. The left side rotating decoration 3153 and the right side rotating decoration 3173 will be located on the left and right sides of the row of the two rotating decorations 3126, and the four rotating decorations 3126 and the pair of left side rotating decorations 3153 and the right side rotating decoration will be located. Since the body 3173 is arranged side by side, the player can be surprised and the player can be entertained. In this state, the lower center elevating base 3121, the lower left side elevating base 3151, and the lower right side elevating base 3171 raise the four rotating decorations 3126, the pair of left side rotating decorations 3153, and the right side rotating decoration 3173. , Four rotating ornaments 3126, a pair of left side rotating ornaments 3153 and a right side rotating ornament 3173, and a pair of left subside rotating ornaments 3155 and a right subside rotating ornament 3175 arranged in a row in the left-right direction. Since it is possible to show the player a large horizontal decoration that crosses the game area 5a, it can have a strong impact on the player, and I think there is something good about it. It is possible to raise expectations for the game. Then, the four rotating decorations 3126, the pair of left side rotating decorations 3153 and the right side rotating decoration 3173, and the pair of left subside rotating decorations 3155 and the right subside rotating decoration 3175 are left and right in an appropriate combination. When the decorations 3127, the decorations 3154, and the decorations 3156 stop rotating in the desired combination when the decorations are rotated and then stopped in a lined state, the player is thrilled. It is possible to entertain the rotation (movable effect) of the four rotating decorative bodies 3126 and the like, and when each decorative portion 3127 and the like are stopped rotating in a desired combination, the gaming state is advantageous to the player. It is possible to be convinced of the occurrence of the game, increase the expectation for the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state, and suppress the decline in interest. After that, the lower rear center decorative body 3122 (lower front center decorative body 3111), the lower left side decorative body 3152, and the lower right side decorative body 3172 emit a downward arrow to display the downward arrow, thereby directing the player's line of sight downward. It can be guided to the unit 301, and the player can be urged to operate the effect operation unit 301. At this time, since it is possible to suggest the possibility (expected value) that an advantageous gaming state may occur depending on the size of the downward arrow displayed by light emission, if the arrow displayed by light emission is small, it continues to the player. It can be thought that it can be recovered by the operation of the effect operation unit 301, and if the arrow displayed by the light emission is small, it is possible to be sure that an advantageous gaming state has occurred, so that the expectation for the game is raised in any case. It is possible to entertain the subsequent operation of the effect operation unit 301 and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, in the above embodiment, as a movable effect unit, a rotating decorative body 3126 which is rotatable around an axis extending to the left and right and has a plurality of (four) decorative portions 3127 which are different from each other in the circumferential direction is formed in the left-right direction. The one provided four coaxially with each other is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to this. It may be equipped with at least one, at least one rotatable decorative body that can rotate around an axis extending back and forth, at least one movable decorative body that slides in the left-right direction, and the like. ..

Further, in the above embodiment, the clutch mechanism 3250 is used for the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 which move up and down via the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232, but the present invention is limited thereto. A clutch mechanism 3250 may be provided between a movable decorative body that moves in the left-right direction, a movable decorative body that rotates around an axis extending in the front-rear direction, and a drive motor.

Further, in the above embodiment, the clutch mechanism 3250 includes a housing case 3251, an input member 3252, an output member 3253, and a roller 3254, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the rotation from the drive motor is not limited thereto.

[14. Stock time production]
Hereinafter, the stock time effect implemented in the present embodiment will be described.
[14-1. Specifications of pachinko machine]
First, the specifications of the pachinko machine 1 in this chapter will be described. FIG. 154 is a table showing an example of a big hit probability and a small hit probability.

Hereinafter, the first special symbol is also referred to as special figure 1, and the second special symbol is also referred to as special figure 2. In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are collectively called a special symbol. In addition, the first special symbol variation and the second special symbol variation are collectively referred to as special symbol variation or simply variation. The special lottery results in Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2 include big hits and small hits. The jackpot of the special figure 1 includes "2R time saving no symbol 1" and "6R time saving symbol 1".

Further, the small hit in the special figure 1 includes "7R time-saving symbol 1" and "7R time-saving symbol 2". The details will be described later, but during the small hit game won by the first special symbol lottery, the first big winning opening 2005 is opened, and when the so-called right-handed hit is made and the game ball B is hit into the first big winning opening 2005, In the small hit game, the game ball B enters a specific area in the first large winning opening 2005 with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/3). That is, winning a small hit in the first special symbol lottery is substantially equivalent to having a chance of winning a big hit with a short time with a probability of 1/3.

When the game ball B enters the specific area and the small hit is completed, the 6-round big hit game (types are "7R time-saving symbol 1" and "7R time-saving symbol 2", but the small hit is in progress. Since the opening of the first big winning opening 2005 is counted as one round, the big hit game is 6 rounds), and when the big hit game is finished, the time saving state starts. If the game ball B does not enter the specific area during the small hit game, the big hit game is not started and the time reduction is not given.

In the example of FIG. 154, the jackpot probability of "6R time-saving symbol 1" in the first special symbol lottery is extremely low (205/65536 × 4/200). In addition, the jackpot winning rate (600/65536 x 1/3) via the small hit in the first special symbol lottery is much higher than the jackpot probability of "6R time-saving symbol 1", and the time is shortened for all the jackpots via the small hit. The state is given.

Further, since the game ball B does not enter the second starting port 2004 or enters only with an extremely low probability during the non-time saving state, the second special symbol lottery is not executed in principle. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 154, most of the triggers for entering the time-saving state from the non-time-saving state (excluding the predetermined number of second special symbol fluctuations immediately after the end of the time-saving state; details will be described later) are by the first special symbol lottery. It is a big hit via a small hit.

The jackpot of the special figure 2 includes "4R time-saving symbol 1" and "15R time-saving symbol 1". Further, the small hit in the special figure 2 includes "5R time-saving symbol 1", "16R time-saving symbol 1", and "16R time-saving symbol 2". The details will be described later, but during the small hit game won by the second special symbol lottery, the first big winning opening 2005 is opened, and when the so-called right-handed hit is made and the game ball B is hit into the first big winning opening 2005, In the small hit game, the game ball B enters a specific area in the first large winning opening 2005 with an extremely high probability (for example, 1/1).

When the game ball B enters the specific area and the small hit is completed, if the type of the small hit is "5R time saving symbol 1", the big hit game of 4 rounds is performed, and the type of the small hit is In the case of "16R time saving symbol 1" or "16R time saving symbol 2", the big hit game of 15 rounds starts, and when the big hit game ends, the time saving state starts. That is, winning a small hit in the second special symbol lottery is substantially equivalent to winning a big hit with a short time. If the game ball B does not enter the specific area during the small hit game, the big hit game is not started and the time reduction is not given.

In this chapter, the trigger for the end of the time saving state is the end of the second special symbol change after the start of the time saving state, and the eighth special symbol change after the start of the time saving state (that is, the first special symbol). The total number of fluctuations of the fluctuation and the second special symbol fluctuation is 8 times), or the big hit game is started, which is the earliest. It goes without saying that even if the time saving state ends due to the start of the big hit game, if the big hit is a big hit with a time saving, the new time saving state is entered again after the big hit game ends.

Although the details will be described later, during the fourth special symbol change during the second special symbol change during the reduced working hours state, the game ball B is inserted into the second starting port 2004, so that the change can be completed up to four times. (Ii) Special symbol changes can be withheld. That is, it is possible to execute the second special symbol change up to eight times after entering the time saving state. According to the jackpot probability in the example of FIG. 154, the probability of winning a jackpot or a small hit in the four second special symbol lottery executed during the time saving state is about 54.9%, but during the time saving state and the time saving state. The probability of winning a big hit or a small hit in a total of eight second special symbol lottery held after the end increases to about 79.7%.

That is, the fluctuation time during the second special symbol fluctuation of the fourth time during the time reduction (the last fluctuation of the time reduction) is long enough to allow the game ball B to enter the second starting port 2004 (concrete fluctuation). Since the second special symbol change is executed in the 5th to 8th non-time saving state by (the time will be described later), the ball ejection rate should be increased without increasing the so-called pullback probability during the time saving state. Can be done.

In addition, the condition that "the 8th special symbol change (that is, the total number of changes of the 1st special symbol change and the 2nd special symbol change is 8 times)" is set when the time saving state ends. Is included for the following reasons. Although not shown, during the time reduction, even if the big hit of "2R time reduction no symbol 1" is won in the first special symbol lottery, the time reduction is given after the big hit game is completed.

If the condition is not included in the end of the time saving state, the second special symbol change is executed only three times during the time saving, and if the big hit or the small hit is not won, the second special symbol change. Rather than executing 5 more times, if the first special symbol change is continuously executed, the ball output rate will increase. Therefore, in order to prevent such a capture, the condition is included in the end opportunity of the reduced working hours state.

In addition, the reason why the number of times of "8 times" is adopted in the said condition (the total number of times of change of the first special symbol change and the second special symbol change is 8 times) is as follows. In order to prevent the above-mentioned capture, it is necessary to set the number of times as small as possible.

On the other hand, assuming that the number of times is 7 times, for example, when the condition that the time reduction is given in the state where 4 hold of the first special symbol change is accumulated in the normal time of the non-time reduction state is satisfied, the game is played. The person may be satisfied with the time reduction and may stop the game, such as taking a restroom break or reporting to a friend. When the game is stopped and the time saving state starts in this way, the four reservations for the first special symbol change are exhausted, so that the second special symbol change can be executed only up to three times in the time saving state. However, it will be disadvantageous for the player. Further, if the player is afraid of the occurrence of such a situation and plays the game so as not to suspend the first special symbol change, the progress of the game may be delayed. Similarly, when the number of times is 6 or less, a situation may occur in which the second special symbol change can be executed only 3 times or less depending on the number of pending first special symbol changes at the time of winning the jackpot. Therefore, it is desirable that the number of times under the conditions is eight.

As mentioned above, the condition (the total number of fluctuations of the first special symbol fluctuation and the second special symbol fluctuation is 8 times) is included in the end trigger of the reduced working hours state in order to prevent the above-mentioned capture. .. In addition, if the condition is not included in the end condition of the time saving state, such a capture becomes possible only during the time saving state in the first special symbol lottery, "2R time saving no symbol 1". Even if the jackpot is won, the reduced working hours will be given after the jackpot game is completed. Therefore, even if the big hit of "2R time saving no symbol 1" is won during the time saving state, if the time saving is not given after the big hit game is finished, such a capture cannot be performed in the first place. The condition may not be included in the end trigger of the time saving state.

FIG. 155 is a table showing an example of the opening time and closing time patterns of the big winning openings selected in each round of the big hit game or the small hit game. Patterns A and B are patterns of opening time and closing time of the second big winning opening 2006 in which the opening / closing operation is performed during the big hit game, and both are patterns in which the operation of closing after opening for a long time is executed once. ..

Pattern C is a pattern of opening time and closing time of the first big winning opening 2005 in which the opening / closing operation is performed during the small hit game won in the first special symbol lottery, and the operation of closing after a short time opening is performed a plurality of times. The pattern to execute. During the small hit game, the game ball B that has entered the first major winning opening 2005 reaches a distribution member (feature) that enters a specific area with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/3). The route through which the game ball B passes through the distribution member is also referred to as an accessory route.

Pattern D is a pattern of opening time and closing time of the first big winning opening 2005 in which the opening / closing operation is performed during the small hit game won in the second special symbol lottery, and the operation of closing after a short time opening is performed a plurality of times. The pattern to execute. Since the game ball B that has entered the first major winning opening 2005 enters the specific area with an extremely high probability (for example, 1/1) without reaching the above-mentioned distribution member, the game ball B is the distribution. A route that enters a specific area without going through a member is also called a direct V route.

In each pattern, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B enter the opening large winning opening during the opening time, the pattern is displayed even if the opening time has not ended. Transition to the indicated closure period. Specifically, for example, in pattern A, when 10 game balls B enter the second major winning opening 2006 before 29.000 seconds have elapsed after the second major winning opening 2006 is opened. , The closing period of 2.000 seconds begins and the round ends at the end of the closing period.

FIG. 156 (A) is a table showing an example of the time of the hit start effect (also referred to as an opening effect), and (B) is a table showing an example of the time of the final hit effect (also referred to as an ending effect). The opening effect is an effect performed from the start of the big hit game or the small hit game to the start of the first round of the big hit game or the small hit game. The ending effect is an effect performed between the end of the final round of the big hit game or the small hit game and the end of the big hit game or the small hit game. In the example of FIG. 156, for each pattern, the opening effect time and the ending effect time are defined for each of the winning in the time-saving state and the non-time-saving state.

FIG. 157 is a table showing an example of the operation schedule of the big winning opening during the big hit game. In the table of FIG. 157, the opening effect time, the opening pattern of the big winning opening of each round, and the ending effect time are defined in each jackpot type.

In the start j column, the opening effect time is defined by the identifier of FIG. 156 (A). In the column indicating each round, the opening pattern in the round is defined by the identifier shown in FIG. 155. Further, "below" in the column indicates that the second major winning opening 2006 is opened during the opening time in the round. In the final y column, the time of the ending effect is defined by the identifier of FIG. 156 (B).

It should be noted that the big hit via the small hit (that is, "Special Figure 1_7R Time Saving Symbol 1", "Special Figure 1_7R Time Saving Symbol 2", "Special Figure 2_5R Time Saving Symbol 1", "Special Figure 2_16R Time Saving Symbol 1", And "Special Figure 2, 16R Time Saving Symbol 2"), the opening time of the first round is not defined because there is opening of the big winning opening of one round during the small hit game, and this is one round. This is because it is treated as an eye. In the big hit game, when the opening effect is completed, the game shifts to the second round.

The pattern of the fifth round of "Special Figure 2_16R Time Saving Symbol 2" is B. Pattern B has a longer closing time of the big winning opening (Pattern A is 2.000 seconds, Pattern B is 9.000 seconds) as compared with the pattern A selected in the other rounds. For example, at the end of the second special symbol change that won the "special figure 2_16R time saving symbol 2", the notification as if the "special figure 2_5R time saving symbol 1" was won is executed (for example, at the end of the change, "special figure 2_5R time saving symbol 1" is executed. The decorative symbol corresponding to "Fig. 2_5R time-saving symbol 1" is stopped by the effect display device 1600). You may perform a promotion effect to announce that there was.

As a result, even if the announcement that the jackpot of 5 rounds has been won is executed at the end of the fluctuation, the player can be expected to win the jackpot of 16 rounds. Further, for the player who is not aware of the promotion effect, the promotion effect can give a feeling of exhilaration at once.

FIG. 158 is a table showing an example of the operation schedule of the large winning opening during the small hit game. In the table of FIG. 158, the opening effect time, the opening pattern of the large winning opening of each round, and the ending effect time are defined for each small hit type. In the example of FIG. 158, all small hits are composed of an opening effect, one round, and an ending effect.

Similar to FIG. 157, in the start j column, the opening effect time is defined by the identifier of FIG. 156 (A). Further, in the column indicating each round, the opening pattern in the round is defined by the identifier shown in FIG. 155. Further, "right" in the column indicates that the first major winning opening 2005 is opened during the opening time in the round. In the final y column, the time of the ending effect is defined by the identifier of FIG. 156 (B). The pattern of the small hit round won in the first special symbol lottery is C (role route), and the pattern of the small hit round won in the second special symbol lottery is D (straight V route).

[14-2. Small hit game]
Hereinafter, the small hit game executed in this chapter will be described. First, the operation of each part in the first big winning opening 2005 during the small hit game will be described. FIG. 159 is an enlarged front view showing an outline example of the configuration in the first prize opening 2005. The shape, size, and the like of each configuration in FIG. 159 may be exaggerated for convenience of explanation, and do not necessarily match other drawings. Further, for convenience of explanation, FIG. 159 does not show all the members provided in the first prize opening 2005 and around the first prize opening 2005.

In the first large winning opening 2005, for example, a first structure 2061, a second structure 2062, a specific area 2063, a side wall portion 2064, a side wall portion 2065, and a distribution member 2070 are provided. The first structure 2061 is arranged, for example, directly below the first prize opening 2005 in the front view. The first structure 2061 is, for example, a sphere having a recess capable of holding only one game ball B. Even if the game ball B newly entered in the first major winning opening 2005 collides with the game ball B already held in the dent, the game ball B is deep enough not to jump out of the dent. However, it is desirable that the depression has.

Further, the first structure 2061 is a movable body in which the depression faces the direction of the second structure 2062 at the initial position. At the time of its operation, the first structure 2061 rotates to the left in the front view with the center of the sphere as the center so that the depression faces in the front view.

Therefore, when the game ball B enters the second prize opening 2006 when the first prize opening 2005 is opened and the depression of the first structure 2061 is facing upward in the front view, the game ball B is released. Only one is held in the recess of the first structure 2061. Even if the game ball B is further held in the recess of the first structure 2061 and the game ball B enters the first prize opening 2005, the game ball B is held in the recess. It is discharged to the lower left region of the first structure 2061 without going to the specific region 2063. Similarly, even if the game ball B enters the first large winning opening 2005 with the first structure 2061 in the initial position, the game ball B is not held in the recess and the first structure 2061 It is discharged to the lower left area and does not go to the specific area 2063.

Further, when only one game ball B is held in the recess of the first structure 2061 and the first structure 2061 rotates to the right in the front view and returns to the initial position, the game ball B becomes the second game ball B. Head to structure 2062. The second structure 2062 is a member that can be opened and closed. When the game ball B reaches the second structure 2062 while the second structure 2062 is open, the game ball B falls in the downward direction of the front view of the second structure 2062 and finally enters the specific area 2063. .. Further, when the game ball B reaches the second structure 2062 while the second structure 2062 is closed, the game ball B passes over the second structure 2062 and is in the lower right direction of the front view of the second structure 2062. To the distribution member 2070 arranged in.

The sorting member 2070 includes, for example, a bottom portion 2071, a front wall portion 2072, a front wall portion 2073, and a rotating portion 2074. The bottom portion 2071 is surrounded by both side wall portions 2064 and side wall portions 2065 at both ends in the left-right direction in the front view, and the shape thereof is, for example, a disk shape.

The front wall portion 2072 and the front wall portion 2073 are arranged apart from each other on the left and right at the end portion of the bottom portion 2071 on the front side of the front view. Further, for example, a first opening formed between the side wall portion 2064 and the front wall portion 2072, a second opening formed between the front wall portion 2072 and the front wall portion 2073, and a front wall portion 2073. The positions of the front wall portion 2072 and the front wall portion 2073 in the left-right direction in the front view are defined at positions where the sizes of the third openings formed between the side wall portion 2065 and the side wall portion 2065 are substantially the same.

The rotating portion 2074 has, for example, a rotating shaft portion and a bullet portion attached to the side surface of the rotating shaft portion. The rotating portion 2074 repels the game ball B that collides with the ball portion by rotating at high speed about the rotating shaft portion.

The game ball B that has reached the distribution member 2070 collides with the front wall portion 2072, the front wall portion 2073, the side wall portion 2064, the side wall portion 2065, the ball portion of the rotating portion 2074, and the back wall of the game area 5a, and finally. Passes through a first opening, a second opening, or a third opening. The game ball B that has passed through the first opening enters the specific area 2063. The game ball B that has passed through the second opening and the third opening is discharged to the area below the distribution member 2070 and does not go to the specific area 2063.

It should be noted that the game balls B that have reached the distribution member 2070 have substantially the same probability of reaching the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening (so that they are 1/3). The position, shape, and size of each part in the member 2070, and the rotation speed and rotation direction of the rotating part 2074 are defined.

FIG. 160 is a timing chart showing the operation schedule of the movable body in the first big winning opening 2005 during the small hit game. The horizontal axis of the timing chart of FIG. 160 indicates the elapsed time from the start of the small hit game. Further, in the timing chart of FIG. 160, the ON and OFF states of the first prize opening 2005 indicate the open state and the closed state, respectively, and the ON and OFF states of the first structure 2061 are the post-operation states (first). Indicates the state in which the recess of the structure 2061 faces the front view upward) and the initial position state (the state in which the recess of the first structure 2061 faces the second structure 2062), and ON / OFF of the second structure 2062. The states indicate an open state and a closed state, respectively.

First, the operation schedule of the movable body in the small hit won in the first special symbol lottery will be described. In the small hits won in the first special symbol lottery, the first big prize opening 2005 is the schedule shown by the "first big winning opening (character route)" in FIG. 160 ("Special figure 1_7R time saving symbol 1" in FIG. 158. It operates according to the schedule shown in "Special Figure 1_7R Time Saving Symbol 1").

When the small hit game starts, the opening effect of 3000 ms is executed, and then the first big winning opening 2005 is opened according to the schedule shown by the pattern C in FIG. 155. During the period when the first prize opening 2005 is open (except for the first opening), the first structure 2061 is in the ON state. As a result, when the game ball B enters the first large winning opening 2005 during the period, the game ball B is held in the recess of the first structure 2061.

After a predetermined time has elapsed from the completion of the final opening of the first large winning opening 2005 in the small hit game, the first structure 2061 is turned off. Further, the second structure 2062 is in the OFF state at the timing when the first structure 2061 is switched to the OFF state. As a result, the game ball B in which the game ball B is held in the recess of the first structure 2061 heads toward the distribution member 2070. Therefore, when the game ball B is entered into the first large winning opening 2005 during the small hit game, one game ball B is entered into the specific area 2063 with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/3). be able to.

Since the closing period (19.364 seconds (pattern C1 in FIG. 155)) between the first opening and the second opening of the first prize opening 2005 is long, the first opening is also completed. One structure 2061 is temporarily turned off.

Next, the operation schedule of the movable body during the small hit game won in the second special symbol lottery will be described. In the small hit game won in the second special symbol lottery, the first big winning opening 2005 is the schedule shown by the "first big winning opening (straight V route)" in FIG. 160 ("Special figure 2_5R time saving symbol" in FIG. 158. 1 ”,“ Special Figure 2_16R Time-Reduced Symbol 1 ”, and“ Special Figure 2_16R Time-Reduced Symbol 2 ”same as the schedule). In the small hit game won in the second special symbol lottery, both the first structure 2061 and the second structure 2062 operate.

When the small hit game starts, the opening effect of 3000 ms is executed, and then the first big winning opening 2005 is opened according to the schedule shown by the pattern D in FIG. 155. During the period when the first prize opening 2005 is open (except for the first opening), the first structure 2061 is in the ON state. As a result, when the game ball B enters the first large winning opening 2005 during the period, the game ball B is held in the recess of the first structure 2061. After a predetermined time has elapsed from the completion of the final opening of the first large winning opening 2005 in the small hit game, the first structure 2061 is turned off. Further, the second structure is turned on for a predetermined time from the timing when the first structure 2061 is turned off, and the second structure 2062 is turned off after the predetermined time has elapsed.

As a result, the game ball B in which the game ball B is held in the recess of the first structure 2061 reaches the second structure 2062 while the second structure 2062 is open, and enters the specific area 2063. Therefore, when the game ball B is entered into the first large winning opening 2005 during the small hit game, one game ball B is entered into the specific area 2063 with an extremely high probability (for example, 1/1). be able to. That is, the game ball B in which the game ball B is held in the recess of the first structure 2061 reaches the first structure 2061 and the second structure 2062 while the second structure 2062 is open. The second structure 2062 operates.

Since the closing period (5.420 seconds (pattern D1 in FIG. 155)) between the first opening and the second opening of the first prize opening 2005 is long, the first opening is also completed. One structure 2061 is temporarily turned off.

In addition, for example, in both the small hit game won in the first special symbol lottery and the small hit game won in the second special symbol lottery, the final opening of the first big winning opening 2005 is performed after the start of the small hit game. Until the end, the effect display device 1600 or the like is used to perform a so-called right-handed effect to encourage the game ball B to enter the first major winning opening 2005.

In the example of FIG. 160, the time from the start of the small hit game to the arrival of the period (the second and subsequent opening periods) in which the first major winning opening 2005 is continuously opened in a short period of time is useful. The straight V route is shorter than the physical route. This is due to the following reasons.

The direct V route is selected only when the small hit is won by the second special lottery, and when the small hit is won by the second special lottery, all the direct V routes that can win the big hit are selected with an extremely high probability. To. In principle, the second special lottery is held only during the time saving state or immediately after the time saving state ends. In other words, winning a small hit in which the direct V route is selected is substantially equivalent to winning a series of big hits. Therefore, in order to make the player feel the speed of the big hit consecutive villa, the period after the small hit game in which the direct V route is selected is started and the first big winning opening 2005 is continuously opened in a short period of time. (Opening period after the second time), the time until the arrival is set short.

In addition, even for the small hit game that is won by the second special symbol lottery, if the ratio of selecting the accessory route instead of the direct V route is high, the first big prize will be won after the small hit game starts. It is desirable that the direct V route has a longer time until the mouth 2005 opens continuously in a short period of time (the second and subsequent opening periods) than the accessory route. In this case, the rate at which the direct V route is selected is low, and if the direct V route is selected, the jackpot can be won with an extremely high probability, so that the time in the direct V route is lengthened. Thereby, the player can be given a sense of rarity and an uplifting feeling. In other words, is it intended to make the player feel the speed of the jackpot villa, or is it intended to entertain whether or not a substantial jackpot can be obtained by the character route by the movement of the game ball? The time may be set as appropriate according to the purpose.

Hereinafter, an example of a detailed effect during the small hit game when the small hit game is won in the first special symbol lottery in the non-time saving state will be described. For example, during the first special symbol change in which the small hit game is won, a battle effect using the effect display device 1600 is executed, and the ally character is defeated in the battle effect. Then, a revival production will be performed in which new ally characters will participate. In the revival production, the new ally character utters a line such as "Compete with me!", And when the symbol of the first special symbol change is confirmed, the production display device 1600 is used to produce a battle effect by the new ally character. Stops the decorative symbol (that is, the small hit confirmation symbol) indicating that it is confirmed that is executed. In addition, for example, it is not always necessary to display a sign indicating defeat, such as displaying a line such as "Believe in your own power!" On the production display device 1600 or the like when a ally character wins. Needless to say.

Subsequently, for example, at the same time as the start of the opening effect of the small hit game, a small, so-called right-handed display is displayed on the upper right of the effect display device 1600. At the same time as the end of the opening effect, the battle effect between the ally character and the enemy character starts on the effect display device 1600, and the battle between the ally character and the enemy character is performed.

Subsequently, for example, after a predetermined time has elapsed (for example, 15 seconds after) from the start of the closing period of the first first major winning opening 2005, a display prompting the effect display device 1600 to hit the right side is performed. At this time, the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Further, the large right-handed display may be performed and the small right-handed display may be deleted at the same time, or these two right-handed displays may be displayed at the same time. At the same time as the end of the opening effect, a timer indicating the remaining time until a large right-handed display is displayed may be displayed on the effect display device 1600.

Since the closing period of the first big winning opening 2005 is 19.364 seconds, if there is a large right-handed display on the production display device 1600 from the start of the small hit game, the player immediately starts right-handed. However, there is a possibility that the game ball B cannot be won in the first major winning opening 2005 for a long time, and as a result, the ball output rate may decrease, and the player's interest in playing games may decrease. Therefore, as described above, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the closing period of the first first major winning opening 2005, the effect display device 1600 is greatly displayed to urge right-handed hitting. In other words, even if you are hitting right, it is extremely difficult and easy to put the game ball into the big prize opening, and the purpose of "hit right" is the same, but the display mode is different. ing.

Subsequently, when it is determined that the game ball B heads toward the distribution member 2070 (specifically, for example, a sensor that detects the game ball B entering the first grand prize opening 2005, or the first structure 2061. When the sensor that detects that the game ball B is held in the dent is detected), the mode in which the ally character is powered up in the battle effect is displayed. Further, at this time, the right-handed display on the effect display device 1600 may be deleted, or a display indicating that the right-handed display such as "Right-handed completed!" May be terminated is displayed on the effect display device 1600. You may.

Subsequently, when the game ball B that has reached the distribution member 2070 reaches the specific area 2063, the game ball B that has reached the distribution member 2070 by executing the effect that the ally character has won the battle on the effect display device 1600. When the player cannot reach the specific area 2063 (that is, when the player passes through the second opening or the third opening), the ally character defeats the battle on the effect display device 1600.

In the small hits won in the second special symbol lottery, for example, during the closing period (5.420 seconds) of the first first big winning opening 2005, if the winning is done during the stock time described later, the stock will be released. If you win during the production and the final rock-paper-scissors production, which will be described later, a display production that greatly encourages right-handedness will be performed at the same time as the start of the closing period.

[14-3. Stock time production overview]
The outline of the stock time production will be described below. FIGS. 161 to 163 are explanatory views showing an example of an outline of stock time production. Note that FIGS. 162 and 163 show an example of an outline of the production when the stock can be acquired in the stock time production.

FIG. 168 is a table showing an example of the fluctuation time of each of the second special symbol fluctuations of the first to fifth times after the time saving state starts. When the 1st to 5th fluctuations are lost fluctuations, the fluctuation times are 205 seconds, 1 second, 1 second, 15 seconds, and 1 second, respectively. Further, when the 1st to 5th variation is a hit variation (that is, a big hit or a small hit variation), the variation time is 215 seconds, 10 seconds, 10 seconds, 10 seconds, and 10 seconds, respectively. In this way, regardless of whether the special symbol change is successful or not, a longer change time is selected for the first change as compared with the other changes.

The stock time production is a production that is executed after the big hit game with a short time. FIG. 161 (A) shows a state in which the ending effect of the jackpot game with a reduced time is performed. In the example of FIG. 161, it is assumed that there is no hold of the first special symbol change and the second special symbol change at the end of the jackpot game. In addition, the jackpot shall not be the jackpot won in the special symbol lottery during the stock time production and the final rock-paper-scissors production described later (that is, the condition that the time reduction is given in the first special symbol lottery in the non-time saving state). If you meet).

In (B), when the ending effect of the big hit game is finished and the time saving state starts, a display prompting the player to hit the game ball B into the second starting port 2004 by right-handing (“Right-handed !!””. Display, hereinafter also simply referred to as right-handed display) is displayed at the lower part and the upper right part of the effect display device 1600. For example, the right-handed display at the bottom of the effect display device 1600 has a larger size than the right-handed display at the upper right (not limited to this, for example, there are many right-handed displays, and the display is in a different color from the surroundings. , Or a mode that is easy for the player to recognize, such as a blinking display).

In (C), one game ball B enters the second starting port 2004 in the state of (B), and the second special symbol change is started as the first special symbol change after the end of the big hit. At the same time as the start of the second special symbol change, the effect display device 1600 is displayed to indicate that the stock time effect has started. In addition, the player performs a right-handed strike to save the hold of the second special symbol change.

(D) is a state after 5 seconds have passed from the start of the fluctuation. After 5 seconds have elapsed from the start of the second special symbol variation, a timer indicating the remaining 200 seconds is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the remaining time of the timer decreases with the passage of time. At the same time as the timer is displayed, the display indicating that the stock time effect in (C) has started is deleted. After the display indicating that the stock time effect has started is erased, a display indicating that the stock time effect is being performed is displayed on, for example, the lower left of the effect display device 1600. The timing at which the display indicating that the stock time effect in (C) has started is erased may be after a predetermined time has elapsed from the timer display (for example, 5 seconds later). In addition, the player performs a right-handed strike to save the hold of the second special symbol change.

(E) is a state in which the remaining time of the timer is 185 seconds (that is, 20 seconds after the start of the fluctuation), and four holdings of the second special symbol change are accumulated. When four reservations for the second special symbol change are accumulated, the right-handed display at the bottom of the effect display device 1600 is erased. It should be noted that the right-handed display in the upper right portion is always displayed, for example, during the time saving state.

Further, the decorative symbol changes at the same time as the start of the second special symbol change, and the dummy change of the decorative symbol is performed within 20 seconds from the start of the decrease of the timer value. The dummy variation of the decorative symbol is, for example, as in the state of (E), it is made to appear as if the decorative symbol is stopped by the combination of loss (specifically, for example, the combination of loss is not completely stopped). , Displayed in a small shaking manner), and re-starting the variation of the decorative pattern. In the dummy variation, instead of the combination of the loss of the decorative pattern, a predetermined image for the dummy variation may be made to appear as stopped.

(F) is a state in which the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds (that is, after 25 seconds have elapsed from the start of fluctuation). The dummy fluctuation of the decorative pattern ends, and the rock-paper-scissors game production begins. After the dummy change is completed, the decorative design continues to change until the design is confirmed.

Although the details will be described later, when the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds (that is, 25 seconds after the start of the fluctuation), the peripheral control MPU is about the reserved special symbol fluctuation transmitted from the main control MPU. With reference to the special symbol pre-determination command, it is determined in advance whether or not each of the reserved special symbol fluctuations is a hit variation (that is, a big hit variation or a small hit variation).

Peripheral control MPU is included in the second special symbol variation that is held when the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds (that is, 25 seconds after the start of the variation) and the second special symbol variation that is being executed (that is, the second special symbol variation that is being executed). That is, based on the total number of fluctuations per (which does not apply to the first special symbol fluctuation) (hereinafter, also referred to as the number of stocks), the effect after 25 seconds from the start of the fluctuation is determined.

At the time of (F), the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds, and the peripheral control MPU wins the effect of the remaining 180 seconds with a plurality of rock-paper-scissors game effects of 15 seconds or 30 seconds and a rock-paper-scissors game effect. It is composed by using a 15-second stock appeal effect, which is executed following the case. Every time you win a rock-paper-scissors game, you will be notified that there is one hit fluctuation (stock). The details will be described later, but the number of times the combination production (also called stock production) of the rock-paper-scissors game victory production (also called stock success production) and the stock appeal production is executed is less than the number of unreported stocks.

FIGS. 162 and 163 illustrate an example in which the number of stocks is two. In addition, the second special symbol change during execution is a loss change (that is, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol change is 205 seconds), and one of the hit fluctuations is the second following the second special symbol change during execution. (Ii) It shall be a special symbol change.

(G) is a state in which the first rock-paper-scissors game is being produced. (H) is the state in which the player won the first rock-paper-scissors game. In the following description, it is assumed that the hand displayed on the left side of the effect display device 1600 is the hand of the ally character and the hand displayed on the right side is the hand of the enemy character. The first rock-paper-scissors game production is executed using 15 seconds from 180 seconds to 165 seconds remaining in the timer.

(I) is a state in which the stock appeal production performed after the victory production of the rock-paper-scissors game production is performed. The effect display device 1600 is notified that the first stock has been acquired (display of "stock GET x 1 !!" in the figure). The first stock appeal effect is executed using 15 seconds from 165 seconds to 150 seconds remaining in the timer.

(J) is a state in which the stock appeal production is completed and the second rock-paper-scissors game production is started. A display indicating that there is stock that has been notified by the stock appeal effect (ST in the figure, hereinafter also referred to as a stock display) is displayed on the upper left of the effect display device 1600, for example. The stock display is displayed, for example, until the end of the special symbol change corresponding to the stock, or until the start or end of the hit game corresponding to the stock (when the hit corresponding to the stock is a small hit). It may be (until the start or end of the big hit game) that rushes in with the small hit as an opportunity.

In addition, for example, in the stock appeal production, when notifying a hit with a large number of balls to be obtained, such as a big hit of "15R time-saving symbol 1" and a small hit of "16R time-saving symbol 1", at a predetermined ratio. You may perform a premium effect (for example, notification by a character dedicated to the premium effect). In this case, the stock display on the upper left of the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the stock appeal effect may also be a premium mode (for example, a character dedicated to the premium effect is displayed).

(K) is a state in which the stock time has ended, that is, 205 seconds have passed from the start of the fluctuation, and the second special symbol fluctuation, which is a loss fluctuation, has ended. The effect display device 1600 displays a combination of decorative patterns that are lost. As described above, since the number of stocks is two, one more stock is notified by the end of the stock time, and at the end of the fluctuation, two stock displays are displayed on the upper left of the effect display device 1600.

In the example of (K), the left decorative symbol is stopped at "5", the middle decorative symbol is stopped at "2", and the right decorative symbol is stopped at "4" as a combination of the lost decorative symbols, but the stock is notified. Even if the special combination of decorative symbols that reminds us of a hit (for example, the left decorative symbol and the right are the same number and the center decorative symbol is "V") is stopped in the loss fluctuation in the state of being good. Further, even if the stock is not notified at the stock time but there is a hold corresponding to the fluctuation in the hold, the dedicated combination may be stopped at a predetermined ratio.

FIG. 163 (L) is a state in which the second special symbol variation (variation time is 10 seconds, see FIG. 168), which is the second variation, which is a small hit variation, has started. In (M), the combination of decorative symbols indicating small hits is stopped, and an effect indicating that one stock has been released (display of "stock release !!") is executed on the effect display device 1600. In the example of (M), the stock display corresponding to the first stock is erased at the end of the second special symbol change. When the stock display is in the premium mode, the stock release effect may also be in the premium mode (for example, notification of stock release by a character dedicated to the premium effect).

(N) is a state in which the small hit game has started. In order to allow the game ball B to enter the specific area 2063 in the first prize opening 2005, a large right-handed display at the bottom of the effect display device 1600 and the first prize opening such as "Aim for V !!" A display prompting you to aim at a specific area in 2005 is displayed. (O) is a state in which the big hit game is started by the game ball B entering the specific area 2063 during the small hit game. Even if the jackpot game starts, the stock display corresponding to the unreleased stock is not erased.

In the example of FIG. 162, one stock was notified in one stock appeal effect, but when there are a plurality of unnotified stocks, a plurality of stocks are notified in one stock appeal effect. You may. In the stock appeal effect, when notifying a plurality of stocks, an effect different from the case of notifying one stock may be executed. For example, it is preferable that a plurality of stocks are notified by a notification by a character dedicated to a plurality of stock notifications, a dedicated sound effect, a dedicated lighting pattern by various lamps, and the like.

Further, when notifying a plurality of stocks, a rock-paper-scissors effect different from the normal rock-paper-scissors effect may be executed. For example, when a special ally character or enemy character appears and wins the rock-paper-scissors production, when the rock-paper-scissors is won with a predetermined combination of hands (for example, when the ally is "par" and the enemy character gives "goo". ), Or when an ally puts out a hand with a special aspect (for example, a hand with the little finger and ring finger folded and the other fingers extended), the production pattern is determined so that multiple stocks are confirmed. You may be.

In the examples of FIGS. 162 and 163, an example in which the second special symbol fluctuation of the first fluctuation is a loss fluctuation has been described, but the second special symbol fluctuation of the first fluctuation is a hit fluctuation (variation time is 215 seconds). In some cases, the stock release is signaled using 10 seconds after the end of the stock time.

164, 165, 166, and 167 show the case where no stock is acquired in the stock time effect, that is, the reserved second special symbol variation and the running second special symbol variation. An example of the outline of the stock time production when the total number of hit fluctuations (stocks) is 0 is shown. Even if the stock cannot be obtained, the effects of FIGS. 161 (A) to 161 (F) are the same. Following FIG. 161 (F), the state transitions to the state of FIG. 164 (G').

(G') is a state in which the first rock-paper-scissors game is being produced. (H') is the state of being defeated in the first rock-paper-scissors game. The first rock-paper-scissors game production is executed using 15 seconds from 180 seconds to 165 seconds remaining in the timer. Since he was defeated in the rock-paper-scissors game production, no stock appeal production will be performed.

(I') is the state in which the second rock-paper-scissors game production has started. (J') is a state in which the stock time has ended, that is, 205 seconds have passed from the start of the fluctuation, and the second special symbol fluctuation, which is a loss fluctuation, has ended. The effect display device 1600 displays a combination of lost decorative patterns. Further, since the number of stocks is 0 as described above, the stock is not displayed on the upper left of the effect display device 1600 at the end of the fluctuation.

(K') is a state in which the second special symbol change, which is the second change, which is a loss change, has been completed. The combination of the decorative symbols of the loss is stopped on the effect display device 1600. In addition, the display of the end of the stock time of the effect display device 1600 remains.

(L') in FIG. 165 is a state in which the second special symbol change of the third change, which is a loss change, has been completed. The combination of the decorative symbols of the loss is stopped on the effect display device 1600. In addition, the display of the end of the stock time of the effect display device 1600 remains.

(M') is a state in which the second special symbol change of the fourth change, which is a loss change, has started. As described above, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation of the second and third fluctuations, which is the loss fluctuation, is short (1 second), but the fluctuation time of the second special symbol fluctuation of the fourth fluctuation, which is the loss fluctuation. Is longer (15 seconds) than these. The hold charge effect is performed using this fluctuation time.

For example, the hold charge effect starts at the same time as the start of the second special symbol change. At the start of the hold charge effect, for example, a right-handed display similar to that in FIG. 161 (B) is displayed at the bottom of the effect display device 1600, and a hold charge start display indicating that the hold charge effect has started is displayed at the center. , Encourage the player to enter the game ball B into the second starting port 2004. The hold charge start display is displayed, for example, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the hold charge effect, or when a predetermined number of game balls B (for example, one or four with the maximum number of holds) have entered the second start port 2004. And it will be erased.

(N') is a state in which the second special symbol change of the fourth change, which is a loss change, has been completed. When all four reservations for the second special symbol change have been accumulated, a display indicating that all the reservations have been accumulated (“Charge full !!” in the figure) is displayed in the center of the effect display device 1600, and the effect display is displayed. The right-handed display displayed at the bottom of the device 1600 is erased. Since the fluctuation is a loss fluctuation, the combination of the decorative symbols of the loss is displayed.

(O') is a state in which the fifth variation (variation time is 1 second), which is a loss variation, has been completed. The combination of the decorative symbols of the loss is stopped on the effect display device 1600. The loss fluctuation is a fluctuation during the non-time reduction state, and the production prior to the final rock-paper-scissors production, which will be described later, is composed of four fluctuations during the time reduction and one fluctuation during the time reduction.

In the example of FIG. 164, an example in which the fifth variation is a loss variation has been described, but when the first to fourth variations are loss variations and the fifth variation is a hit variation, the fourth variation is The hold charge effect is not executed in. In this case, a dedicated effect straddling from the second variation to the fifth variation is executed, and the hit is notified at the fifth variation.

Therefore, in principle, when all of the 1st to 5th fluctuations are lost fluctuations, the hold charge effect and the final rock-paper-scissors effect described later are executed. However, if the winning corresponding to the 5th fluctuation is performed after the start of the 2nd fluctuation, or if the winning is performed after the timing of pre-reading judgment in the 1st fluctuation, the 5th fluctuation is a hit fluctuation. However, the hold charge effect is executed. It should be noted that the winning corresponding to the 5th fluctuation is performed after the start of the 2nd fluctuation or after the timing of the pre-reading determination in the 1st fluctuation, and the 1st to 4th fluctuations are lost fluctuations and the 5th fluctuation. If is a hit fluctuation, the dedicated effect is not executed, and the hit is suddenly notified at the fifth fluctuation.

When this special effect is performed, the fluctuation time of the second fluctuation is 1 second, the fluctuation time of the third fluctuation is 1 second, the fluctuation time of the fourth fluctuation is 15 seconds, and the fluctuation time of the fifth fluctuation is 10 seconds. (See FIG. 168). Of the fluctuations in which the special effect is performed, the total fluctuation time of the 2nd to 4th fluctuations, which is the loss fluctuation, is longer than the fluctuation time of the 5th fluctuation, which is the hit fluctuation. In this way, since the fluctuation time of the 5th fluctuation, which is a hit fluctuation, is short, it is possible to secure a long time to execute the production by the dedicated production using the 2nd to 5th fluctuations, and to execute the production rich in interest. Can be done.

Although the details will be described later, if there is a fluctuation in the first to fourth fluctuations, a stock effect is always generated during the 180-second rock-paper-scissors effect of the first variation. Further, as described above, when the 1st to 4th fluctuations are lost and the 5th fluctuation is a hit, the dedicated production is performed from the 2nd fluctuation. Therefore, if the stock effect does not appear in the first variation and the dedicated effect does not start from the second variation, the variation up to the fifth variation is confirmed to be lost. If the second, third, and fifth fluctuations other than the fourth fluctuation in which the hold charge effect is performed are lost fluctuations, a short fluctuation time (1 second) is selected, and the second special symbol fluctuation is suspended in the fourth fluctuation. It is set as a long time (longer than the second, third, and fifth fluctuations) in which the time to store up to the maximum is secured.

In addition, although the example of notifying the presence or absence of stock by the rock-paper-scissors production has been described, it goes without saying that the presence or absence of stock may be notified by a production different from the rock-paper-scissors production, for example, a background change production or a dialogue production. .. Even in that case, it goes without saying that the dialogue production may have higher expectations as a stock production than the background change production, so that the expectations may differ depending on the type of production.

Hereinafter, the production of the 6th to 8th fluctuations will be described. The final rock-paper-scissors effect is executed using the 6th to 8th fluctuations, which are the fluctuations reserved for the 4th fluctuation. When the peripheral control MPU determines that there is a hit variation from the 6th variation to the 8th variation based on the special symbol pre-judgment command, the final rock-paper-scissors effect that spans from the 6th variation to the earliest hit variation among them is performed. It is executed as a continuous effect (however, if the sixth variation is a hit variation, the final rock-paper-scissors effect using only the sixth variation is executed).

In addition, if the peripheral control MPU determines that there is no hit variation from the 6th variation to the 8th variation based on the special symbol pre-judgment command, the final rock-paper-scissors effect spanning the 6th variation to the 8th variation is continuously produced. Run as.

The timing at which the peripheral control MPU determines the effect content with reference to the special symbol pre-determination command may be either during the execution of the 4th or 5th variation or at the start of the 6th variation. Peripheral control MPU, for example, by referring to the special symbol pre-determination command at a predetermined timing (for example, 10 seconds after the start of fluctuation) of the fourth fluctuation in which the hold charge effect is performed, the "final rock-paper-scissors" is performed during the hold charge effect. Characters such as, etc. can be displayed in a highly expected manner (for example, red characters). Further, after the lapse of the predetermined time, there is a high possibility that the 6th to 8th fluctuation hold is accumulated. Further, since the fluctuation time of the fourth fluctuation is longer than the fluctuation time of the fifth fluctuation, it is easy to execute such a look-ahead effect.

In each fluctuation where the final rock-paper-scissors production is performed, for example, a rock-paper-scissors game is performed. In the final rock-paper-scissors production, in the fluctuation that announces the hit, the rock-paper-scissors game is won, and in the fluctuation that announces the loss, in the rock-paper-scissors game, Aiko or defeat.

However, if the 7th fluctuation or the 8th fluctuation is the first hit fluctuation, the ratio at which Iko is selected for the fluctuation before the hit fluctuation in the final rock-paper-scissors production is the case of the loss fluctuation from the 6th to the 8th fluctuation. It is assumed that the ratio of rock-paper-scissors selected in the 6th fluctuation or the 7th fluctuation is higher than that. That is, Aiko in the final rock-paper-scissors production is a chance pattern. Note that, for example, only when the 8th variation is the earliest hit variation, both the 6th variation and the 7th variation may be selected, that is, both the 6th variation and the 7th variation may be selected. In that case, the 8th fluctuation may be confirmed as a hit.

Hereinafter, in the examples of FIGS. 165, 166, and 167, the 6th and 7th fluctuations are lost fluctuations, and the 8th fluctuation is a hit fluctuation, that is, the final rock-paper-scissors spanning from the 6th fluctuation to the 8th fluctuation. The effect is executed as a continuous effect, and the hit is notified at the 8th variation.

FIG. 169 is a table showing an example of the fluctuation time of each of the second special symbol fluctuations 6 to 8 times after the time saving state starts. When the 6th to 8th fluctuations are lost fluctuations, the fluctuation times are 225 seconds, 160 seconds, and 375 seconds, respectively. Further, when the 6th to 8th fluctuations are small hit fluctuations, the fluctuation times are 370 seconds, 305 seconds, and 380 seconds, respectively. Further, when the sixth to eighth fluctuations are jackpot fluctuations, the fluctuation time is 425 seconds, 360 seconds, and 440 seconds, respectively.

Returning to the description of FIG. 165. (P') is a state in which the sixth variation (variation time is 225 seconds), which is a loss variation, has started. The effect display device 1600 displays a display indicating that the final rock-paper-scissors effect has started.

(Q') is a continuation state of (P') in the sixth variation, which is a loss variation. A display (“Round 1 !!” in the figure) indicating that the first rock-paper-scissors game of the final rock-paper-scissors production starts is displayed on the production display device 1600. Further, the effect display device 1600 displays a gauge indicating the physical strength of the enemy character. The value of the gauge becomes 0 when the hit is notified, and the value of the gauge decreases at the time of the chance pattern (for example, at this time).

FIG. 166 (R') is a continuation of (Q') at the sixth variation, which is a loss variation. A production that defeats the rock-paper-scissors game is being executed. The gauge value has not decreased because he lost the rock-paper-scissors game. (S') is a state at the end of the sixth variation, which is a loss variation. A display indicating that the final rock-paper-scissors production is still going on (“Still more !!” in the figure) is displayed, and the combination of the decorative symbols of the loss has stopped.

(T') is a state in which the seventh variation (variation time is 160 seconds), which is a loss variation, has started. A display (“Round 2 !!” in the figure) indicating that the second rock-paper-scissors game of the final rock-paper-scissors production will start is displayed on the production display device 1600. (U') is a continuation state of (T') in the seventh variation, which is a loss variation. A different production is being performed in the rock-paper-scissors game. As mentioned above, Aiko in the rock-paper-scissors game is a chance pattern. As shown in (U'), for example, when it becomes a mess, the value of the gauge is decreased.

(V') is a state at the end of the seventh variation, which is a loss variation. Since the chance pattern Aiko was executed in the 7th fluctuation, the display showing that the final rock-paper-scissors production is still going on and the expectation of victory in the rock-paper-scissors game in the next fluctuation is high ("Your hand to put out next is cut off" in the figure. !! ") is displayed. In addition, a combination of lost decorative patterns is displayed.

(W') is a state in which the eighth variation (the variation time is 440 seconds for a big hit and the variation time is 370 seconds or 385 seconds for a small hit), which is a hit variation, has started. The display indicating that the third, that is, the final rock-paper-scissors game of the final rock-paper-scissors production starts (“final battle !!” in the figure) is displayed on the production display device 1600.

FIG. 167 (X') is a continuation state of (W') at the eighth variation, which is a hit variation. On the effect display device 1600, a display prompting the player to repeatedly hit the center pressing operation unit 303a is displayed. At this time, a display suggesting that the winning effect is approaching by repeated hits, such as "I can't see the enemy's hand !!", may be displayed. It should be noted that such a continuous striking effect may be executed, for example, at the 6th variation and / or the 7th variation when the hit expectation degree is higher than a predetermined value. Further, for the eighth variation, for example, the continuous striking effect may be always executed regardless of the degree of expectation of hitting.

(Y') is a continuation state of (X') in the eighth variation, which is a hit variation. After the continuous striking of the central pressing operation unit 303a is prompted (that is, after the central pressing operation unit 303a becomes effective), one of the predetermined number of times of pressing of the central pressing operation unit 303a and the elapse of a predetermined time is satisfied. At that point, the state transitions to the (Y') state. The predetermined number of times may be set as the hit expectation is higher and the hit expectation is lower as the hit expectation is lower. In (Y'), the production to win the rock-paper-scissors game is being executed. Further, the value indicated by the gauge displayed on the effect display device 1600 is 0.

(Z') is the state at the end of the eighth variation, which is the hit variation. On the effect display device 1600, the combination of hits of the decorative symbols is stopped, and a message indicating that the hit is a hit (“Congratulations !!” in the figure) is displayed.

As described above, a series of effects consisting of stock time and hold charge effect is executed using the variation of the time saving state and the first variation of the start of the non-time saving state (in the above example, from the start of the time saving state to the 5th variation). Then, the final rock-paper-scissors effect is executed using the 2nd to 4th fluctuations in the non-time saving state (in the above example, from the start of the time saving state to the 6th to 8th fluctuations, that is, the last 3 second special symbol fluctuations). Has been done. Further, as described above, even if the average fluctuation time of each fluctuation in which the final rock-paper-scissors effect is executed is a loss variation, the variation in which the series of effects is executed (from the start of the time saving state to the 1st to 5th fluctuations). (Variation) longer than the average variation time (see FIGS. 168 and 169). After entering the non-time saving state, the second special symbol change, which has a more favorable hit probability, can be executed only four times at the maximum, so that the player can maintain the expectation in this way. The time is fixed. By setting the variation time in the 7th variation loss variation in FIG. 169 to exceed 215 seconds, all the variation times in which the final rock-paper-scissors effect is executed are all the variation times (time reduction) in which the series of effects are executed. It may be set longer than the fluctuation time from the start of the state to the 5th fluctuation).

In addition, the branch point between the series of productions and the final rock-paper-scissors production (at the start of the second variation in the non-time reduction state) arrives during the non-time reduction state for the following reasons. Immediately after falling into the non-time saving state, the second special symbol change with a higher hit probability is carried out up to four times. If the second special symbol change in the first half (first time in the above-mentioned example) is a loss change, and in the second half of the second special symbol change, the effect in the same effect mode as the loss change is executed. The player may not be able to get a sense of expectation for the hit. Therefore, by changing the effect mode during the non-time saving state in this way, the player's interest can be maintained.

From the viewpoint of maintaining the interest of the player in this way, it is preferable that the end timing of the series of productions is as early as possible after the start of the non-time reduction. That is, the end timing is the end of the second variation after the start of the non-time saving state from the end of the third variation after the start of the non-time saving state (that is, the final rock-paper-scissors effect is performed by the fourth variation after the start of the non-time saving state). Time (that is, the final rock-paper-scissors effect is performed with the 3rd to 4th fluctuations after the start of the non-time reduction state) is preferable, and further, the first time after the start of the non-time reduction state than the end of the second fluctuation after the start of the non-time reduction state. It is preferable at the end of the fluctuation (that is, the final rock-paper-scissors effect is performed in the 2nd to 4th fluctuation after the start of the non-time saving state).

As described above, the peripheral control MPU, for example, refers to the special symbol pre-determination command at a predetermined timing of the fourth variation in which the hold charge effect is performed, and suggests the result of the final rock-paper-scissors effect after the sixth variation. The judge effect may be executed at the fourth variation. For example, it is performed according to the distribution shown by the judge effect table.

FIG. 174 is an example of a judge effect table. The judge effect table defines the distribution of the hand image selected in the judge effect according to the number of holds at the predetermined timing and whether or not there is a change in the change held by the predetermined timing. .. The distribution is decided so that the expectation is higher in the order of the hand wearing a red aura, the hand wearing a white aura, and the hand not wearing an aura.

A specific example of the judge production will be described. For example, before the predetermined timing during the hold charge effect, the hand image is not displayed on the effect display device 1600 when the hold is 0 or 1, and the effect display device 1600 is displayed when the hold is 2. An image of a hand without an aura is displayed, and when there are three holds, an image of a hand without an aura and a hand with a white aura is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and when there are four holds. Images of a hand without an aura, a hand with a white aura, and a hand with a red aura are displayed on the effect display device 1600.

That is, when the number of holds is 1 to 2, an image of a hand without an aura is added on the effect display device 1600, and when the number of holds is 2 to 3, a hand with a white aura is added on the effect display device 1600. The image of the hand is added on the effect display device 1600 when the number of hold is changed from 3 to 4. Even if the hold is added after the predetermined timing, the hand image is not added.

At the predetermined timing, the peripheral control MPU refers to the judge effect table and selects a hand. After the predetermined timing, the judge effect is started, and the peripheral control MPU displays the image of the selected hand on the effect display device 1600.

In the example of FIG. 174, when the number of holds is 2, a hand that does not wear an aura is selected in the judge effect. When the number of holds is 3, a hand without an aura or a hand with a white aura is selected in the judge production. When the number of holds is 4, a hand without an aura, a hand with a white aura, or a hand with a red aura is selected in the judge production.

Therefore, the distribution of the judge effect table is defined so that the hand finally displayed in the judge effect is included in the hand displayed on the effect display device 1600 at the time when the predetermined timing is reached. Then, in the final rock-paper-scissors production, the ally character plays a rock-paper-scissors game with the selected hand. For example, if a hand wearing a red aura is selected, the hand of the ally character is wearing a red aura in all the rock-paper-scissors games in the final rock-paper-scissors production.

When the number of reservations is 0 or 1, the judge effect is not executed (not displayed in FIG. 174). This is because the final rock-paper-scissors effect is not executed when the fluctuation in which the hold charge effect is performed is completed while the number of hold numbers is 0 or 1.

It should be noted that, in the hit variation of the number of pending numbers 2, extremely small distribution may be set for the "white aura" and the "red aura". Similarly, in the hit variation of the number of reservations 3, a very small distribution may be set for the "red aura". Specifically, for example, the distribution in the hit fluctuation of the number of hold 2 is 0 for "no display", 98 for "no aura", 1 for "white aura", 1 for "red aura", and 3 for hold. The distribution in the hit variation may be 0 for "no display", 50 for "no aura", 49 for "white aura", and 1 for "red aura".

By setting the distribution in this way, if a hand that is not included in the hand displayed on the effect display device 1600 at the time when the predetermined timing is reached is selected in the judge effect, there may be a hit variation. It will be confirmed. Further, by setting a small distribution in which such a definite effect occurs, it is possible to obtain a premium effect. Therefore, the occurrence of such an effect can give the player an uplifting feeling. Further, when there are four holds, such a definite effect does not appear, so that the player can be provided with the enjoyment as a hidden effect.

[14-4. Information for executing stock time production]
Hereinafter, a table that defines information necessary for executing the above-mentioned stock time production and final rock-paper-scissors production will be described. In this chapter, three fluctuation pattern tables (table A, table B, and table C (all not shown)) are stored in the ROM of the main control board 1310, and the main control MPU determines the fluctuation pattern. First, one variation pattern table is selected from the three variation pattern tables, and a variation pattern is selected from the selected variation pattern table.

FIG. 170 is an example of a variation pattern table selection table. The variation pattern table selection table is a table for selecting one variation pattern table from the above-mentioned three variation pattern tables, and is stored in, for example, a ROM in the main control board 1310.

The fluctuation pattern table selection table is, for example, the state at the time of winning (in the case of a big hit via a small hit, the small hit) (time saving state or non-time saving state), and the latest big hit (a big hit via a small hit). In the case, the type of the small hit), the number of fluctuations of the fluctuation of the selection target of the fluctuation pattern table from the end of the latest big hit, the current state (time saving state or non-time saving state), and the selection target fluctuation of the fluctuation pattern table. A migration destination table is defined for each type (Special Figure 1 or Special Figure 2).

Although the number of times of granting time reduction for each hit type is defined in the variation pattern table selection table, it may be managed in another table. As described above, the trigger for the end of the time saving state is the end of the fourth change in the special figure 2 after the start of the time saving state, and the eighth special symbol change after the start of the time saving state (that is, the special figure 1 and the special figure 1). This is the earliest of the end of the total number of fluctuations in FIG. 2) or the start of the big hit game.

In the example of FIG. 170, the latest big hit is a big hit via the small hit of "Special Figure 1_6R Time Saving Symbol 1", the small hit is won in the non-time saving state, and the current state is the non-time saving state. The cell corresponding to the change in the special figure 2 which is the sixth change from the end of the big hit is the cell 1651 in the change pattern table selection table. Therefore, for the variation, the variation pattern is selected from the table A corresponding to the cell 1651.

Further, for example, the latest big hit is a big hit via the small hit of "Special Figure 2_16R Time-saving symbol 1", the small hit is won in the time-saving state, the current state is the time-saving state, and the big hit ends. In the variation pattern table selection table, the cell corresponding to the variation of the special figure 2 which is the second variation from 1652 is cell 1652. Therefore, for the variation, the variation pattern is selected from the table B corresponding to cell 1652.

In the example of FIG. 170, regardless of the latest jackpot type or fluctuation type, the selection target fluctuation of the fluctuation pattern table (hereinafter, also simply referred to as the target fluctuation in this chapter) is the fluctuation after the ninth fluctuation (so-called normal time). ), Table A is selected. In addition, when the latest jackpot is a reduced working hours jackpot, the target variation is the variation shown in Special Figure 2, and the target variation is the 6th to 8th variation after the end of the jackpot (in this case, the non-time saving is in progress). , Table A is selected.

In addition, when the latest jackpot is a time-saving jackpot, the target variation is the variation in Special Figure 1, and the target variation is the 1st to 8th variation after the end of the jackpot (that is, the 1st to 8th variation in the time-saving state). Table A is selected. That is, the table A is always selected in the fluctuation of the special figure 1 during the time saving state. Table A is always selected in the fluctuation of the special figure 1 during the time saving state. If the latest jackpot is a short-time-reduced jackpot, the target variation is the variation in Special Figure 2, and the target variation is the first variation after the end of the jackpot (that is, the first variation in the time-saving state), Table A shows. Be selected.

For example, the fluctuation time of the first variation in the time-reduced state in Table A is 205 seconds in the case of a loss variation and 215 seconds in the case of a hit variation. As a result, the variation time of the first variation (that is, the first variation of the stock time effect) shown in FIG. 168 is realized. Further, it is desirable that the fluctuation time of the first fluctuation of the first fluctuation in the table A is as long as that of the special figure 2 (205 seconds in the case of a loss fluctuation and 215 seconds in the case of a hit fluctuation). If the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 is short, if the fluctuation of the special figure 1 is executed during the time saving state, a sufficient number of game balls B cannot be entered into the second starting port 2004. This is because there is a risk that the number of times the second special symbol changes will be less than the planned number of times, which is disadvantageous to the player. It should be noted that the above-mentioned stock time effect is performed even in the special figure 1 fluctuation having such a long fluctuation time.

In Table A, the fluctuation time when the sixth variation is the special figure 2 is 225 seconds when it is a loss variation, 370 seconds when it is a small hit variation, and 425 seconds when it is a big hit variation. Further, in Table A, the fluctuation time when the seventh fluctuation is the special figure 2 is 160 seconds when it is a loss fluctuation, 305 seconds when it is a small hit fluctuation, and 360 seconds when it is a big hit fluctuation. be. Further, in Table A, the fluctuation time when the eighth fluctuation is the special figure 2 is 375 seconds when it is a loss fluctuation, 370 seconds or 385 when it is a small hit fluctuation, and 440 when it is a big hit fluctuation. Seconds. As a result, the variable time during the final rock-paper-scissors production shown in FIG. 169 is realized.

Further, in the example of FIG. 170, when the latest jackpot is a short-time working jackpot, the target variation is the variation in Special Figure 2, and the target variation is the fifth variation after the end of the jackpot (in this case, in the non-time-saving state). Yes), Table B is selected. In addition, when the latest jackpot is a time-saving jackpot, the target variation is the variation in Special Figure 2, and the target variation is the second to third variation after the end of the jackpot (that is, the second to third variation in the time-saving state). , Table B is selected. The fluctuation time of the special figure 2 in the fluctuation pattern in the table B is 1 second in the case of the loss fluctuation and 10 seconds in the case of the hit fluctuation. As a result, the fluctuations of the second, third, and fifth fluctuations shown in FIG. 168 (changes after the end of the stock time and before the start of the hold charge effect, and changes after the end of the hold charge effect and before the start of the final rock-paper-scissors effect). Time is realized.

Further, in the example of FIG. 170, the latest jackpot is a time-saving jackpot, the target variation is the variation in Special Figure 2, and the target variation is the fourth variation after the end of the jackpot (that is, the fourth variation in the time-saving state). If so, table C is selected. The fluctuation time of the special figure 2 in the fluctuation pattern in the table C is 15 seconds in the case of the loss fluctuation and 10 seconds in the case of the hit fluctuation. As a result, the variation time of the fourth variation (that is, the variation of the hold charge effect) shown in FIG. 168 is realized. As described above, in the example of FIG. 170, when the big hit of "Special Figure 1-2R Time Saving No Symbol 1" is won in the time saving state, the time saving state is given. However, the hold charge effect is performed for 15 seconds in the case of a loss fluctuation.

FIG. 171 is an example of a stock time effect block table. The stock time effect table is stored in, for example, a peripheral control ROM. The stock time effect block table is an effect executed from the state of FIG. 161 (F) (when the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds, that is, when 25 seconds have elapsed from the start of fluctuation) until the remaining time of the timer reaches 0 seconds. It is a table that defines.

The stock time effect block table holds the correspondence between the number of unreported stocks, the effect contents of each effect block, and the distribution. The number of unreported stocks is the number of hits in the running second special symbol change and the held special symbol change, and is not notified in the stock time production before the running second special symbol change. It is the number of hit fluctuations.

Specifically, for example, a special symbol change in a state where there is no hold during non-time reduction wins a big hit with a time reduction, and after the big hit ends, the change of special figure 2 is started, and 25 seconds have passed since the start of the change. It is assumed that the four special figure 2 fluctuations are reserved until later (until the above-mentioned look-ahead determination is performed). Further, it is assumed that there are three hit fluctuations including the fluctuation of the special figure 2 during the fluctuation among the five fluctuations of the special figure 2 in total. In this case, for example, three stocks are notified at the stock time. In addition, when the fluctuation during the fluctuation is completed, the jackpot is entered, and after the jackpot is completed, the time is shortened again. In this case, the player is informed of the existence of two hit fluctuations excluding the digested hit. Therefore, for example, if one new hold of Special Figure 2 is accumulated by 25 seconds after the start of the fluctuation that starts immediately after the end of the big hit in this state, if the hold is a hold of the hit fluctuation, the unreported stock The number is one, and if the hold is a hold of loss fluctuation, the number of unreported stocks is zero.

The 180 seconds from 180 seconds to 0 seconds remaining in the timer are managed by being divided into 12 effect blocks of 15 seconds each. That is, each record of the stock time effect block table defines the effect schedule for 180 seconds by defining the effect content of each effect block.

The crosses described in each effect block column (effects 1 to 12) indicate that a stock failure effect (that is, defeat or Aiko in a rock-paper-scissors game) is executed for 15 seconds. In addition, the black triangle is a 30-second stock failure production consisting of two adjacent production blocks (for example, even if a defeat or Aiko appears in a rock-paper-scissors game, instead of executing the rock-paper-scissors production from scratch, the defeat or Aiko After being displayed, the character will continue to shout whether it will end as it is! And challenge the rock-paper-scissors again, but eventually lose, a series of productions using 30 seconds) will be executed. Further, the black circle indicates that a stock success effect (that is, victory in a rock-paper-scissors game) is executed for 15 seconds or for 30 seconds consisting of two adjacent effect blocks. Further, the white circle indicates that the stock appeal effect is executed for 15 seconds immediately after the stock success effect. Hereinafter, the combination of the stock success effect and the stock appeal effect executed immediately after the stock success effect is also referred to as a stock effect.

In the example of FIG. 171 in all the effect schedules, the stock effect is not selected in the first and last effect blocks (effect 1 and effect 12). If the stock effect is executed immediately after entering the time saving state, the player may feel hectic, so the stock failure effect is always selected in the first effect block. In addition, since the stock failure effect is always selected in the final effect block, the player's feelings are calmed down when no stock is notified in the effect schedule up to 165 seconds (up to effect 11). be able to. However, the stock appeal in the effect 12 is executed when the stock effect is executed in the effect 11. Further, in all the production schedules, the stock failure production is selected in the production 9. As a result, the player's feelings ahead of the last three production blocks (the production of the remaining 45 seconds) can be calmed down once.

In addition, the stock effect column specifies the stock effect to be executed in the effect schedule. "No stock effect" is selected when the number of unreported stocks is 0. "Stock effect 1" and "stock effect 2" are selected when the number of unreported stocks is one. "Stock effect 3" and "stock effect 4" are selected when the number of unreported stocks is two. "Stock effect 5" and "stock effect 6" are selected when the number of unreported stocks is three. "Stock effect 7" and "stock effect 8" are selected when the number of unreported stocks is 4 or 5.

This will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 171. For example, when the number of unreported stocks is 1, the effect numbers 5 to 16 are distributed. In this case, for example, the effect number 5 is selected on 64/256, and the effect number 9 is selected on 16/256. For example, when the effect number 5 is selected, the stock success effect is performed by the effect 2 (the effect that starts 40 seconds after the start of the fluctuation).

FIG. 172 is an example of a stock effect specific table. The stock effect specifying table specifies a winning effect lottery table for drawing the stock effect executed in each effect schedule. In the peripheral control ROM, for example, a 30-second effect lottery table (not shown) and a 45-second effect lottery table (not shown) are stored.

The 30-second production lottery table consists of one or more stock productions, each consisting of a 15-second stock success production and a 15-second stock appeal production (30 seconds in total), and the distribution of each of the one or more stock productions. , Store. The 45-second production lottery table consists of one or more stock productions, each consisting of a 30-second stock success production and a 15-second stock appeal production (45 seconds in total), and the distribution of each of the one or more stock productions. , Store.

That is, for example, when the peripheral control MPU selects an effect whose value in the stock effect column of the stock time effect block table is "stock effect 4", the peripheral control MPU refers to the stock effect specific table, and the first stock effect is performed. The effect content is selected according to the distribution of the lottery table per 30 seconds, and for the second stock effect, the effect content is selected according to the distribution of the lottery table per 45 seconds.

As described above, the peripheral control MPU refers to the special symbol pre-determination command for the reserved special symbol variation transmitted from the main control MPU, and the timer has a remaining time of 180 seconds, that is, 25 seconds from the start of the variation. At the elapsed time, it is determined whether or not each of the reserved special symbol fluctuations has a hit fluctuation. The peripheral control MPU determines whether or not each of the reserved special symbol fluctuations has a hit variation.

For example, if the main control MPU has already sent a pre-judgment command for the pending fluctuation and there is a new start prize before the start of the fluctuation, the fluctuation corresponding to the start prize is a hit fluctuation. The pre-judgment command may be transmitted to, and if the fluctuation corresponding to the start winning is a loss fluctuation, the pre-judgment command may not be transmitted.

The peripheral control MPU subtracts the number of notified stocks from the total number of hit fluctuations included in the special symbol fluctuations that are held 25 seconds after the start of fluctuations and the special symbol fluctuations that are being executed. Calculated as the number of unreported stocks. The peripheral control MPU realizes the above-mentioned stock time effect by determining the effect by referring to the stock time effect block table and selecting the effect corresponding to the number of unreported stocks according to the distribution indicated by the distribution column. be able to.

If the hit fluctuation is suspended after the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds, the notification as stock is not executed for the hit fluctuation. For the hit fluctuations that were not notified as stock, for example, the hits are notified when the hit fluctuations are executed.

However, the peripheral control MPU is produced at a predetermined timing after the time when the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds (for example, at the end of each effect block. However, one stock effect requires a minimum of 30 seconds, so the effect is produced. Except at the end of 11 and the effect 12, the number of unreported stocks may be calculated again. In this case, for example, the peripheral control MPU replaces a part of the stock failure effect of the selected effect schedule with the stock effect, or reselects the effect schedule that can announce the unreported stock, thereby performing the effect schedule. Is changed on the way. The timing for calculating the number of unreported stocks again and changing the effect schedule according to the calculation result may be once or a plurality of times.

For example, if the hit fluctuation is suspended before the initial stock number calculation timing, in principle, the stock effect corresponding to the hit fluctuation is announced at the stock time. In this case, if there is a winning prize on hold for the hit fluctuation after the first stock number calculation timing and before the second and subsequent stock number calculation timing, the stock production corresponding to the hit should be performed at the relevant stock time. The production may be changed, or the time may be changed at the next stock time (in principle, a time reduction is given to the big hit corresponding to the hit fluctuation before the initial stock number calculation timing, and the stock time is entered again). Stock effects corresponding to hit fluctuations may be performed.

In addition, if there is no hold of hit fluctuation before the first stock number calculation timing, and if there is a winning fluctuation prize after the first stock number calculation timing and before the second and subsequent stock number calculation timing. , The effect may be changed so that the stock effect corresponding to the hit is performed at the stock time, or the effect may be suddenly executed without changing the effect at the stock time. (For example, sudden notification of hit fluctuations).

For the player who does not want to be notified of the number of hits in the stock time, the above timing may be notified in advance by a timer display or the like. In addition, as described above, the number of unreported stocks is calculated only once (only when the remaining time of the timer is 180 seconds), so that the number of hits is notified for the hold stored after that timing. It is possible to provide a silent game property that is not played, and it is possible to provide a stock time effect including the expected degree of the hold for the hold accumulated before the timing.

It should be noted that the one-time timing is set so that sufficient time can be secured for the four game balls B to enter the second starting port 2004 from the start of the fluctuation to the one-time timing. Is desirable.

Specifically, for example, the time at which the game ball B is fired is X, and the average time until the fired game ball B is detected by the second starting port sensor 2511 when hitting right is Y. Let Z be the probability that the launched game ball B enters the second starting port 2004 when the game ball B is hit to the right when the second starting port 2004 is opened. In this case, for example, the timing of the one time is determined to be Y + (4X / Z) + K (seconds) after the start of the fluctuation. However, K is a constant, and is, for example, a margin for a time until the player holds the handle and launches the game ball B.

Further, it is desirable that the timing of the one time is the first half of the fluctuation time. For example, in the above example, if X = 0.6, Y = 5, Z = 0.5, K = 2, the timing of the one time is 5+ (4 × 0.6 / 0) from the start of fluctuation. .5) +2 = 11.8 seconds later. That is, it is desirable that the fluctuation time (that is, 23.6 seconds or more) be selected so that 11.8 seconds is the first half of the fluctuation.

As for the hold charge effect, if the look-ahead is executed at a predetermined timing of the fluctuation in which the hold charge effect is performed, it is desirable that the predetermined timing is set in the same manner. However, as described above, regarding the hold charge effect, if four hold of the second special symbol change are accumulated in the stock time effect, the hold of the second special symbol change is held at the start of the change for executing the hold charge effect. In this case, it is sufficient that three game balls B can be inserted into the second starting port 2004 from the start of the fluctuation to the predetermined timing. That is, the predetermined timing may be determined to be Y + (3X / Z) + K (seconds) after the start of the fluctuation. Further, in the hold charge effect, in order to accumulate four hold of the second special symbol change, the fluctuation time in the change in which the hold charge effect is executed needs to be longer than the time until the predetermined timing arrives. .. The same applies when the look-ahead effect is not executed in the hold charge effect.

In the example of FIG. 171, when the number of unreported stocks is 5, the stock effect is performed 4 times, but the stock effect may be performed 5 times. When the number of unreported stocks is 5, the stock effect is performed four times, and when four stocks are notified, the hit fluctuation corresponding to the first to fourth fluctuations is the stock time of the fluctuation during the execution. It is assumed that the hit corresponding to the fifth variation is not notified in the stock time production. As a result, not all hits are notified in the stock time production, so that the player's interest is maintained even after the second fluctuation. At the timing of calculating the number of stocks of the first fluctuation, some stored winning information (for example, winning information in Special Figure 1) is not included in the unreported stock (that is, it is not notified at the stock time). May be.

Further, in the example of FIG. 171, when the number of unreported stocks is 4 or less, the same number of stock effects as the number of unreported stocks is performed. That is, in the example of FIG. 171, one stock is notified by one stock effect, but as described above, a plurality of stocks may be notified by one stock effect. On the contrary, it is not necessary to notify a part or all of the unreported stock until the start of the hit fluctuation. In this case, for example, in the hit fluctuation, an effect of winning a rock-paper-scissors game by reversing may be executed.

If the 1st to 4th fluctuations are lost fluctuations and the 5th fluctuation is a hit fluctuation (however, if the prize corresponding to the 5th fluctuation is performed before the start of the 2nd fluctuation). The number of unreported stocks is one, but the peripheral control MPU treats the number of unreported stocks as zero when referring to the stock time effect block table. In this case, as described above, the dedicated effect straddling from the second variation to the fifth variation is executed, and the hit is notified at the fifth variation.

In the above-mentioned example, the 180-second rock-paper-scissors production of stock time is a production that suggests a hit of the 1st to 5th fluctuations, and the final rock-paper-scissors production is a production that suggests a hit of the 6th to 8th fluctuations. This ratio may be changed. Specifically, for example, the 180-second rock-paper-scissors effect of stock time may be an effect that suggests a hit of the 1st to 4th fluctuations, and the final rock-paper-scissors effect may be an effect that suggests a win of the 5th to 8th fluctuations. The ratio of the hit expectation in the 180-second rock-paper-scissors production of the stock time and the hit expectation in the final rock-paper-scissors production is about 4: 3 in the former, but is about the same as 4: 4 in the latter.

Further, when there are notified stocks and the total of the number of unreported stocks (assumed to be N) and the number of notified stocks is 5, the peripheral control MPU sets the number of unreported stocks to N-1. You may select the production schedule from the stock time production block table.

[14-5. Hit by the first special symbol change during the time saving state]
FIG. 173 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing a time schedule when a small hit is won in the first special symbol variation corresponding to the winning in the time saving state, and FIG. 173 (B) corresponds to the winning in the time saving state. It is explanatory drawing which shows the time schedule when the big hit is won by the first special symbol change. As mentioned above, the winning of the first special symbol lottery won during the time saving state will not be announced at the stock time. Therefore, when a winner is won in the first special symbol lottery during the time saving state, for example, an effect different from the above-mentioned effect is executed in the corresponding first special symbol change.

Specifically, for example, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol fluctuation corresponding to the winning in the first special symbol lottery during the time saving state is 1000 ms. Therefore, in Table A in FIG. 170, the fluctuation time is defined. That is, in the hit variation, the decorative pattern fluctuates for 1000 ms. During this time, no other effect is executed on the effect display device 1600. Subsequently, the combination of the winning decorative symbols is stopped for 500 ms.

Then, the winning game starts. The operation schedule of each large winning opening and the structure in the large winning opening in the winning game is as described above. It should be noted that the effect executed during the winning of the first special symbol lottery in the time saving state is the same as the effect executed during the winning of the first special symbol lottery in the time saving state, for example.

[14-6. Multiple types of time saving state]
In the above-mentioned example, the end trigger of the time reduction state (that is, the number of times of granting the time reduction) is the same for all the symbols with time reduction, but the end trigger may be different depending on the winning symbol. For example, "Special Figure 1_6R Time Saving Symbol 1", "Special Figure 1_6R Time Saving Symbol 1", "Special Figure 1_7R Time Saving Symbol 1", "Special Figure 2_4R Time Saving Symbol 1", "Special Figure 2_5R Time Saving Symbol 1" , And "Special Figure 2_16R Time Saving Symbol 1" are called Advantageous State Granting Symbol 1, "Special Figure 1_7R Time Saving Symbol 2", "Special Figure 2_15R Time Saving Symbol 1", and "Special Figure 2_16R Time Saving Symbol 2". Will be referred to as the advantageous state granting symbol 2.

Further, the end trigger of the time-saving state (hereinafter, also referred to as time-saving state 1) given by the advantageous state-giving symbol 1 is, for example, as described above, the end of the fourth special symbol change after the start of the time-saving state. , The end of the 8th special symbol change (that is, the total number of changes of the 1st special symbol change and the 2nd special symbol change is 8 times) after the start of the time saving state, or the start of the big hit game, which comes first. It shall be assumed that That is, the number of times of shortening the time given by the advantageous state granting symbol 1 is the smaller of the second special symbol variation of 4 times or the total of the first special symbol variation and the second special symbol variation of 8 times.

Further, the end trigger of the time-saving state (hereinafter, also referred to as time-saving state 2) given by the advantageous state-giving symbol 2 is, for example, the end of the 100th second special symbol change after the start of the time-saving state and the time-saving state. It is assumed that the 104th special symbol change (that is, the total number of changes of the first special symbol change and the second special symbol change is 104 times) has ended or the jackpot game has started, whichever comes first. .. That is, the number of times the time saving state 2 is given is 100 times for the second special symbol variation or 104 times for the total of the first special symbol variation and the second special symbol variation, whichever is smaller.

According to the example of FIG. 154, in the second special symbol lottery that can be easily executed during the time saving state, the probability of winning is 11878/65536 (small hit probability 11623/65536 + big hit probability 205/65536). In addition, since the time saving state 2 continues until the second special symbol change is performed up to 100 times, it is almost certain that the winning in the second special symbol lottery can be won in the time saving state 2. That is, entering the time saving state 2 (that is, winning the advantageous state granting symbol 2) is substantially equivalent to the continuation of the big hit consecutive villa.

Hereinafter, the fluctuation patterns in each of the time saving state 1 and the time saving state 2 will be described. For example, the fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern of the time saving state 1 is set to be 40 seconds at the time of hit fluctuation and 35 seconds at the time of loss fluctuation. However, the last change of the time saving state 1 (that is, the 4th second special symbol change and the 8th change (the sum of the first special symbol change and the second special symbol change), which came first. ) Is set so that the fluctuation time is 100 seconds in the hit fluctuation and the loss fluctuation.

The fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern of the time saving state 1 is set to be, for example, 40 seconds at the time of hit fluctuation and 35 seconds at the time of loss fluctuation. However, the last change of the time saving state 1 (that is, the 4th second special symbol change and the 8th change (the sum of the first special symbol change and the second special symbol change), which came first. ) Is set so that the fluctuation time is 100 seconds in the hit fluctuation and the loss fluctuation.

Further, the fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern of the time saving state 2 is set to be, for example, 2 seconds or 3 seconds at the time of hit fluctuation and 2 seconds at the time of loss fluctuation. However, the last change of the time saving state 2 (that is, the 100th second special symbol change and the 104th change (the sum of the first special symbol change and the second special symbol change), which came first. ) Is set so that the fluctuation time is 100 seconds in the hit fluctuation and the loss fluctuation as in the time saving state 1.

That is, when the fluctuation time in the time reduction state 1 and the time reduction state 2 are compared, the fluctuation time in the time reduction state 2 is shorter than that in the time reduction state 1 in all the fluctuations except the final fluctuation.

In the time saving state 2, the fluctuation time is set to be extremely short as compared with the time saving state 1 except for the final fluctuation, so that a big hit can be generated at an early stage. As a result, it is possible to provide a sense of speed in a series of big hits. Also, as a player, he understands that entering the time saving state 2 is equivalent to substantially continuing the jackpot. Even if the fluctuation time is long, the player cannot be expected, but rather the player may be bored. Therefore, in the time saving state 2, such a short fluctuation time is adopted. Is desirable.

It is assumed that the fluctuation time of 2 seconds or 3 seconds is selected in the hit fluctuation of the time saving state 2, but the selection rate of the fluctuation time of 3 seconds is low and the selection rate of the fluctuation time of 2 seconds is set high. It is desirable to be there. As a result, even if the fluctuation time of 2 seconds is selected (although the fluctuation time of 2 seconds is always selected in the loss fluctuation of the time saving state 2 other than the final fluctuation), the player is expected to win in the fluctuation. Also, when a variation time of 3 seconds for which the hit is confirmed is selected, the player can feel an uplifting feeling.

In the time saving state 2, for example, an early effect is executed. For example, even if the ending effect of the big hit game that shifts to the time saving state 2 is completed and the time saving state 2 is entered, the same background as during the big hit game is displayed.

In the early effect, for example, the decorative pattern is changed while the background is displayed on the effect display device 1600. At this time, it is desirable that the decorative design is displayed small in an inconspicuous area (for example, the upper right portion) on the effect display device 1600. Further, in the time saving state 2, for example, the remaining number of times of the time saving is not displayed on the effect display device 1600. In addition, for example, in the state where the remaining number of times of time reduction is a predetermined number of times or less (for example, 4 times or less), the remaining number of times of time reduction may be displayed on the effect display device 1600 even in the time reduction state 2.

Further, this early effect is continued until, for example, the change at the start of the first change in the next time saving state 1 or the change immediately before the final change in the time saving state 2. In addition, when a big hit or a small hit in which the time saving state 2 is not given is won in the time saving state 2, the big hit game, or during the small hit game and during the big hit game won via the small hit, On the effect display device 1600, the same background as the jackpot game to which the time saving state 2 in which the early effect is started is given is displayed, and the early effect continues. Further, the number of rounds of the big hit game executed during the early production may be displayed as the total number of rounds of the big hit game to which the time saving state 2 for starting the early production is given.

Therefore, in the time saving state 2, the early effect can be executed beyond the maximum number of fluctuations that can be held. Further, by these effects, it is possible to realize an effect in which the big hit game continues from the start of the big hit game that first entered the time saving state 2 to the end of the early effect. In addition, the early production is executed during the big hit game that triggers the transition to the time reduction state 2, the early production is continuously displayed even at the ending time of the jackpot game, and the early production is continued even if the time reduction state 2 is entered. And display it.

Even if the fluctuation is interrupted, the early production will continue to be displayed. When the fluctuation is interrupted and a predetermined time elapses, the early production is terminated, and a production different from the early production (for example, a production that concretely shows the current state, such as "It is in an advantageous state now") is performed. It may be displayed on the effect display device 1600. Even when such a different effect is produced, it is preferable to continue the right-handed display.

In both the time-saving state 1 and the time-saving state 2, the fluctuation time is set to be 100 seconds in the hit fluctuation and the loss fluctuation, but the same effect is produced in both the time-saving state 1 and the time-saving state 2. You may do it. For example, the above-mentioned hold charge effect is an example of the same effect.
