Description

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, a vibration means (for example, a vibration motor) capable of generating vibration is provided, and a member (for example, a push button) that is in a mode corresponding to the vibration when the vibration is generated by the vibration means is visibly provided. There was a gaming machine configured so that the generation of vibration could be visually recognized by a member (a member that vibrates in response to the vibration generated by the vibration motor) (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ..

The first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B to be performed are provided. Each of these consists of 7-segment LEDs and the like. The special symbol is represented by a number indicating "0" to "9" or a lighting pattern such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first starting winning opening in which a game ball is always kept in a constant open state in which a game ball can enter by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the first special figure game may be started.

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning opening that is changed between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B includes, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable wing pieces, and the movable wing pieces are in a vertical position when the solenoid 81 is in the off state, so that the tip of the movable wing pieces is in a vertical position. Is close to the winning ball device 6A and is in a closed state in which the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening is closed). On the other hand, the variable-sweep wing device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening because the movable wing piece is in the tilted position when the solenoid 81 is on (second start). It is also said that the winning opening is open.) When a game ball enters the second start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls may be paid out and the second special figure game may be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any as long as it changes between the closed state and the open state, and is not limited to the one provided with the electric tulip type accessory.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four locations on the lower left and right sides of the game area), a general winning opening 10 that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member is provided. In this case, when the player enters any of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided. The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In addition to the above configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill that changes the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, there is an out opening for taking in a game ball that has not entered any of the winning openings.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a gaming effect lamp 9 for gaming effects is provided around the gaming area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 is configured to include an LED.

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (not shown in FIG. 1), a movable body 32 that operates according to the effect is provided.

At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, a hitting ball operation handle (operation knob) 30 operated by a player or the like to launch the gaming ball toward the gaming area by the hitting ball launching device is provided.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a gaming ball paid out as a prize ball or a gaming ball rented by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be able to be supplied to a hitting ball launching device. ) A hit ball supply plate (upper plate) is provided. Below the upper plate, a hitting ball supply plate (lower plate) is provided, in which prize balls are paid out when the upper plate is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be grasped and tilted by the player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed and operated by the player. The operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by the controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

A push button 31B is provided at a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area so that the player can perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like. The operation for the push button 31B is detected by the push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B as detection means for detecting the movement (operation, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state includes the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is the upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as the opening upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is open in this way is called a round (round game). In the big hit game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number (15 times or 2 times) is reached.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Explanation of feature unit 153IW)
Next, the feature unit 153IW will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8-1 to 8-3, the pachinko gaming machine 1 included in the feature unit 153IW is provided on the upper part of the image display means 5, and is a first movable body that can be operated under the control of the first movable body motor 153IW11. Case 153IW03 that houses the body 153IW01, the second movable body 153IW02 that is provided so as to border the image display unit 5 and can operate under the control of the second movable body motor 153IW12, and the image display unit 5 and the second movable body 153IW02. And have.

A member that restricts the movement of the first movable body 153IW01 is not provided around the first movable body 153IW01, while the first movable body 153IW01 is provided inside the second movable body 153IW02. Since the case 153IW03 is covered with the case 153IW03, the player can move the second movable body 153IW02 in a narrower area (second movable body) than the area where the first movable body 153IW01 is allowed to move. The area outside the 153IW02 and inside the case 153IW03) can be visually recognized.

FIG. 8-1 is an explanatory diagram relating to the operation control of the first movable body 153IW01. The first movable body 153IW01 is operably provided from the standby position shown in FIG. 8-1 (A) to the advanced position (position covered with the image display device 5) shown in FIG. 8-1 (B). Specifically, as the first movable body operation effect performed during the fluctuation, the first movable body 153IW01 is operated (dropped) from the standby position to the advanced position, and the first movable body 153IW01 is operated at the end of the first movable body operation effect. Is operated from the advance position to the standby position.

FIG. 8-2 is an explanatory diagram relating to the operation control of the second movable body 153IW02. The second movable body 153IW02 is from the standby position shown in FIG. 8-2 (A) to the advance position shown in FIG. 8-2 (B) (predetermined position on the back surface side (back side when viewed from the player) from the standby position). It is provided so that it can operate up to. As described above, since the player visually recognizes the area outside the second movable body 153IW02 and inside the case 153IW03 as the area where the movement of the second movable body 153IW02 is permitted, the second movable body The area where the 153IW02 actually operates (the area for advancing from the standby position to the advancing position) is an area that is not visible to the player as an allowable range of operation. By repeatedly operating the second movable body 153IW02 from the standby position to the advance position and operating the second movable body 153IW02 from the advance position to the advance position, the emphasis effect described later is performed.

Further, the upper end of the chain 153IW04 is attached to the bottom surface of the second movable body 153IW02, and the chain 153IW04 swings according to the operation of the second movable body 153IW02. As described above, the chain 153IW04 is provided so that the player can easily visually recognize that the second movable body 153IW02 is operating.

The push button 31B has a built-in vibrator motor 153IW13 (see FIG. 8-3) capable of generating vibration. As the vibration effect that generates vibration by the vibrator motor 153IW13, a first vibration effect executed at the start of fluctuation, a second vibration effect executed during reach, and a third vibration effect executed immediately before the stop of fluctuation are provided. Has been done. In the present embodiment, the vibrator motor 153IW13 generates vibration of a uniform strength regardless of the type of vibration effect, but the vibration strength is not limited to this and the strength of the vibration can be adjusted. It may be provided in.

When the vibration effect is performed, it is possible to execute the emphasis effect that emphasizes the vibration generated by the vibrator motor 153IW13. Specifically, the vibration is emphasized by outputting a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R or operating the second movable body 153IW02.

In the emphasis effect using the speakers 8L and 8R, the range is lower than the range (range of 100 Hz or higher) of the sound output in other effects (BGM during fluctuation or big hit, sound output as a notice effect). The voice (20 Hz to 100 Hz) is output from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Further, in the initial operation control process (step S72), the effect control CPU 120 performs a confirmation operation for confirming the operation of the vibrator motor 153IW, but at that time, it does not control the confirmation regarding the emphasis effect (step S72). It does not output a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R according to the operation of the vibrator motor 153IW, and does not operate the second movable body 153IW02 according to the operation of the vibrator motor 153IW. It is related to the operation of the vibrator motor 153IW. As a confirmation operation, the sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and the second movable body 153IW02 is operated). As a result, the power consumption can be dispersed and the confirmation operation can be preferably performed.

FIG. 8-4 is a flowchart showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. 7. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first reads the variation pattern command from the variation pattern command storage area (the area in which the received variation pattern command (effect control command for establishing the variation pattern) is stored) ( Step 153 IWS8000). Next, the effect control CPU 120 receives the fluctuation pattern command read in step 153IWS8000 and the display result designation command storage area (received display result designation command (display result (normal jackpot, probability variation jackpot, sudden probability variation jackpot, small hit, or loss). ) Is stored in the area where the effect control command) is stored), and the display result (stop symbol) of the decorative symbol is determined according to the data (that is, the received display result specification command) (step 153IWS8001). .. That is, by executing the process of step 153IWS8001 by the effect control CPU 120, the display result of the variable display of the identification information (stop of the decorative symbol) according to the variable display pattern (variable pattern) determined by the variable display pattern determining means. A display result determining means for determining a symbol) is realized. When the pseudo-ream is specified by the variation pattern command, the effect control CPU 120 has a chance symbol (for example, "223" or "445") as a temporary stop symbol of the pseudo-ream in step 153IWS8001. , A combination of a jackpot symbol that does not reach but one symbol is out of alignment) is also determined. The effect control CPU 120 stores data indicating the determined stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. In step 153IWS8001, the effect control CPU 120 may determine whether or not it is a big hit based on the received variation pattern command, and determine the stop symbol of the decorative symbol based only on the variation pattern command. ..

In step 153 IWS8001, when the received display result designation command indicates "normal big hit", the staging control CPU 120 has a decorative symbol having three symbols of the same even number as a stop symbol. Determine the combination. Further, when the received display result designation command indicates "probability variation jackpot", the effect control CPU 120 determines a combination of decorative symbols having the same odd-numbered symbols as the stop symbols.

Further, when the received display result designation command indicates "sudden probability change big hit" or "small hit", the effect control CPU 120 determines a combination of decorative symbols such as "135" as the stop symbol. Then, in the case of "off", a combination of decorative patterns other than the above is determined. However, when accompanied by a reach effect, a combination of decorative symbols in which the two symbols on the left and right are aligned is determined. Further, the combination of the three symbols derived and displayed on the image display device 5 is the "stop symbol" of the decorative symbol.

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

As for the decorative symbols, the stop symbol (a combination of symbols with the same symbol on the left, middle, and right) reminiscent of a jackpot is called a jackpot symbol. In addition, a stop symbol that reminds us of an outlier is called an outlier symbol. Further, a symbol that reminds us of a probabilistic state (an odd numbered symbol in this feature portion 153IW) is also called a probabilistic symbol, and a symbol that reminds us that it does not enter a probabilistic state (an even numbered symbol in this feature portion 153IW) is a non-probable variable symbol. Also called.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines the presence / absence and type of the advance notice effect to be executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol (step 153IWS8002). In step 153IWS8002, the effect control CPU 120 performs a lottery process based on a random number using the advance notice effect execution lottery table for determining the presence / absence and type of the advance notice effect, and determines the presence / absence and type of the advance notice effect.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs a motor control effect setting process for setting a motor control effect that controls various motors (step 153IWS8002A).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table according to the fluctuation pattern and the set advance notice effect (step 153IWS8003). Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 153IWS8004).

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

In the process table used to execute the effect control for the variation pattern accompanied by the reach effect, the left symbol is stopped and displayed when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variation, and the right symbol is stopped when the predetermined time elapses. Process data indicating that it is to be displayed is set. In addition, instead of setting the symbol to be stopped and displayed in the process table, the image for displaying the symbol is synthesized and generated according to the determined stop symbol, the pseudo-ream, and the temporary stop symbol in the sliding effect. You may.

Further, the effect control CPU 120 serves as an effect device (image display device 5 as an effect component, and an effect component) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound number data 1). Control of various lamps and speakers 8L, 8R as staging parts, various motors) is executed (step 153IWS8005). For example, the image display device 5 outputs a command to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. Further, in order to control lighting / extinguishing of various lamps, a control signal (lamp control execution data) is output to the lamp control board 14. Further, in order to output the voice from the speakers 8L and 8R, the control signal (sound number data) is output to the voice control board 13.

In this feature unit 153IW, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed by the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one, while the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern command. The fluctuation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns corresponding to the above.

Further, in this feature unit 153IW, the super reach effect is executed during the variation display of the decorative pattern, but when the variation pattern including the super reach effect is specified in the variation pattern command, the super reach is performed in step 153IWS8003. A process table including the reach effect is selected, and the process of step 153IWS8005 described later is executed according to the selected process table, so that the super reach effect is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbol.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command in the fluctuation time timer (step 153IWS8006).

Then, the staging control CPU 120 sets the value of the staging control process flag to a value corresponding to the staging process (step S172) during variable display (step 153IWS8010).

FIG. 8-5 is a flowchart showing the motor control effect setting process. In the motor control effect setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first performs a vibration effect pattern determination lottery for determining an effect pattern (vibration effect pattern) of the vibration effect (step 153IWS001). In step 153IWS001, specifically, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the vibration effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (A), and the vibration effect pattern is determined.

FIG. 8-6 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing a vibration effect pattern determination lottery table. In the vibration effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (A), a determination value for the vibration effect pattern is assigned to each variable display result.

As described above, as the vibration effect, a first vibration effect executed at the start of fluctuation, a second vibration effect executed during reach, and a third vibration effect executed immediately before the stop of fluctuation are provided. There is. As the vibration effect pattern, Sp0 that does not perform any vibration effect, Sp1 that performs only the first vibration effect, Sp2 that performs only the second vibration effect, Sp3 that performs only the third vibration effect, and the first vibration effect and the second vibration effect are performed. Sp4, Sp5 for performing the first vibration effect and the third vibration effect, Sp6 for performing the second vibration effect and the third vibration effect, and Sp7 for performing all the vibration effect are provided.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, the vibration effect pattern is 6% for Sp0, 8% for Sp1, 10% for Sp2, and 12% for Sp3, 13%. Sp4 is determined at a rate of, Sp5 at a rate of 15%, Sp6 at a rate of 17%, and Sp7 at a rate of 19%.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, the vibration effect pattern is as follows: Sp0 at a rate of 19%, Sp1 at a rate of 17%, Sp2 at a rate of 15%, Sp3 at a rate of 13%, and 12 Sp4 is determined at a rate of%, Sp5 at a rate of 10%, Sp6 at a rate of 8%, and Sp7 at a rate of 6%.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, Sp0 is determined at a rate of 90% and Sp1 is determined at a rate of 10% as the vibration effect pattern.

In this way, the more times the vibration effect is executed, the higher the reliability of the jackpot. As a result, it is possible to give a sense of expectation to the player at each feasible timing of the vibration effect.

Further, in this way, the second vibration effect has a higher reliability for the jackpot than the first vibration effect, and the third vibration effect has a higher reliability for the jackpot than the second vibration effect. .. As for the execution timing, the second vibration effect is slower than the first vibration effect, and the third vibration effect is slower than the second vibration effect. Therefore, the game should be played with a sense of expectation until the end of the fluctuation. Can be done.

After step 153IWS001, the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect pattern of the first emphasis effect for emphasizing the vibration in the first vibration effect when the execution of the first vibration effect is determined (Y in step 153IWS002). The first emphasis effect pattern determination lottery for this is performed (step 153IWS003). In step 153IWS003, specifically, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the first emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), and the emphasis effect pattern of the first emphasis effect is determined.

FIG. 8-6 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a first emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table. In the first emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), determination values for the emphasis effect pattern are assigned to each variable display result.

As the emphasis effect pattern, Kp0 that does not perform any enhancement control, Kp1 that outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L, 8R, Kp2 that operates the second movable body 153IW02, and a predetermined sound is output from the speakers 8L, 8R. Along with this, Kp3 for operating the second movable body 153IW02 is provided.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, Kp0 at a rate of 10%, Kp1 at a rate of 20%, Kp2 at a rate of 30%, and Kp2 at a rate of 40% as the emphasis effect pattern of the first emphasis effect. Kp3 is determined.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, as the emphasis effect pattern of the first emphasis effect, Kp0 is 40%, Kp1 is 30%, and Kp2 is 10% at 20%. Kp3 is determined by.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, Kp0 is 80%, Kp1 is 10%, and Kp2 is 3% as the emphasis effect pattern of the first emphasis effect. Kp3 is determined by the ratio.

As described above, as the emphasis effect pattern of the first emphasis effect, Kp2 that operates the second movable body 153IW02 has higher reliability for the big hit than Kp1 that outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, and further than Kp2. The Kp3, which outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R and operates the second movable body 153IW02, has a higher reliability for a big hit. As a result, it is possible to pay attention to which pattern is emphasized.

After step 153IWS003, when any one of Kp1 to Kp3 is determined as the enhancement effect pattern of the first emphasis effect (N in step 153IWS004), the effect control CPU 120 determines the mode of the emphasis effect (speaker 8L) in the middle of the emphasis effect. , 8R emphasis, emphasis change execution by the second movable body 153IW02) changes The emphasis change execution lottery is performed to determine whether or not the emphasis change is executed (step 153IWS005). Specifically, using the emphasis change execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), a lottery process based on a random number is performed, and the presence or absence of an emphasis change is determined.

FIG. 8-7 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing an emphasis change execution lottery table. In the emphasis change execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), a determination value for the presence or absence of an emphasis change is assigned to each variable display result.

When the emphasis change is performed when the emphasis effect pattern is Kp1, the speaker 8L, 8R is not emphasized using any of the effect members from the start timing of the emphasis effect described later, and the predetermined period elapses from the start timing. Is used for emphasis.

When the emphasis change is performed when the emphasis effect pattern is Kp2, no emphasis is performed using any of the effect members from the start timing of the emphasis effect described later, and the second movable body starts from the time when a predetermined period elapses from the start timing. The emphasis is made using 153IW02.

When the emphasis change is performed when the emphasis effect pattern is Kp3, no emphasis is performed using any of the effect members from the start timing of the emphasis effect described later, and the speakers 8L, 8R are performed from the time when a predetermined period elapses from the start timing. The emphasis is performed using the speakers 8L, 8R and the second movable body 153IW02 from the time when a predetermined period has elapsed.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is determined that the emphasis change is performed at a rate of 70% and that the emphasis change is not performed at a rate of 30%.

For example, when the variable display result is out of alignment, it is determined that the emphasis change is performed at a rate of 40% and that the emphasis change is not performed at a rate of 60%.

In this way, the case where the jackpot is a big hit is configured to perform the emphasis change at a higher rate than the case where the hit is a miss. As a result, it is possible to give a sense of expectation to the player when the emphasis is changed.

It is assumed that the order of changes when the emphasis changes are performed for each emphasis effect pattern is fixed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the emphasis effect pattern is Kp1, in addition to the above-mentioned order, it is possible to shift to a stage in which emphasis is not performed using any of the effect members after passing through the stage of emphasizing using the speakers 8L and 8R. It may be decided by lottery whether to make emphasis changes in order. If the decision ratio of the order in the emphasis change is different depending on whether it is a big hit or not, the player can be given a sense of expectation depending on the order of the emphasis change.

It was decided that the determination rate of whether or not to execute the emphasis change was different for each variable display result, but it is not limited to this, and the emphasis change is changed for each type of vibration effect (first vibration effect to third vibration effect). The decision rate of whether or not to execute may be different.

After step 153IWS005, the effect control CPU 120 performs an emphasis mode determination lottery for determining the emphasis mode in the emphasis effect of the first emphasis effect (step 153IWS006). Specifically, when performing an emphasis effect using the speakers 8L and 8R, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the speaker mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), and the speakers 8L and 8R are used. Determine the emphasizing mode in the emphasizing effect. Further, when performing an emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the second movable body mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (C), and the second movable body is performed. The emphasis mode in the enhancement effect using 153IW02 is determined.

FIG. 8-7 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a speaker mode determination lottery table. In the speaker mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), judgment values for the emphasis mode (volume of output volume) in the emphasis effect using the speakers 8L and 8R are assigned to each variable display result. ..

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is determined at a rate of 70% that the emphasis change is performed in such a manner that a loud predetermined sound is output from the speakers 8L, 8R, and a low volume predetermined sound is output from the speakers 8L, 8R. It is determined at a rate of 30% that the emphasis change is performed in the mode of outputting the speaker.

For example, when the variable display result is out of alignment, it is determined at a rate of 40% that the emphasis change is performed in such a manner that a loud predetermined sound is output from the speakers 8L, 8R, and a low volume predetermined sound is output from the speakers 8L, 8R. It is determined at a rate of 60% that the emphasis change is performed in the mode of outputting the speaker.

FIG. 8-7 (C) is an explanatory diagram showing a mode determination lottery table for the second movable body. In the second movable body mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (C), judgment values for the emphasized mode (amplitude magnitude) in the emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02 are assigned to each variable display result. ing.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is determined at a rate of 70% that the enhancement change is performed in a mode in which the second movable body 153IW02 is greatly oscillated, and the emphasis change is performed in a mode in which the second movable body 153IW02 is slightly oscillated. Is determined at a rate of 30%.

For example, when the variable display result is out of alignment, it is determined at a rate of 40% that the enhancement change is performed in a mode in which the second movable body 153IW02 is greatly oscillated, and the emphasis change is performed in a mode in which the second movable body 153IW02 is slightly oscillated. Is determined at a rate of 60%.

It was decided that the determination ratio of the emphasis mode in the emphasis effect was different for each variable display result, but it is not limited to this, and the emphasis in the emphasis effect is not limited to this, and it is emphasized for each type of vibration effect (first vibration effect to third vibration effect). The determination ratios of the embodiments may be different.

After step 153IWS006, the effect control CPU 120 performs a start timing determination lottery for determining the start timing of the emphasis effect of the first emphasis effect (step 153IWS007). Specifically, using the start timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (D), a lottery process based on random numbers is performed to determine the start timing of the emphasis effect of the first emphasis effect.

FIG. 8-7 (D) is an explanatory diagram showing a start timing determination lottery table. In the start timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (D), judgment values for the start timing of the emphasis effect (1 second before the start of vibration, at the start of vibration, 1 second after the start of vibration) are assigned to each variable display result. There is.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, the start timing is determined at a rate of 5% 1 second before the start of vibration, 90% at the start of vibration, and 5% 1 second after the start of vibration. Will be done.

For example, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the start timing of vibration is determined at a rate of 100%.

In this way, 1 second before / 1 second after the start of vibration is the start timing determined only when the jackpot is a big hit. Therefore, when the emphasis effect is started 1 second before / 1 second after the start of vibration, It will be notified that it will be a big hit. It should be noted that even in the case of deviation, the emphasis effect may be started at a timing different from that at the start of vibration. In that case, by providing a difference in the determination ratios 1 second before the start of vibration and 1 second after the start of vibration, it may be possible to suggest the reliability of the jackpot based on which start timing.

Although it was decided that the determination ratio of the start timing is different for each variable display result, the determination ratio of the start timing is different for each type of vibration effect (first vibration effect to third vibration effect). It may be that.

Further, when the execution of the second vibration effect is determined (Y in step 153IWS008), the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect pattern of the second emphasis effect for emphasizing the vibration in the second vibration effect. 2 Emphasis effect pattern determination lottery is performed (step 153IWS009). In step 153IWS009, specifically, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the second emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (C), and the emphasis effect pattern of the second emphasis effect is determined.

FIG. 8-6 (C) is an explanatory diagram showing a second emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table. In the second emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (C), determination values for the emphasis effect pattern are assigned to each variable display result.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, Kp0 at a rate of 5%, Kp1 at a rate of 15%, Kp2 at a rate of 35%, and Kp2 at a rate of 45% as the emphasis effect pattern of the second emphasis effect. Kp3 is determined.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, Kp0 is 45%, Kp1 is 35%, and Kp2 is 5% as the second emphasis pattern. Kp3 is determined by.

As described above, as the emphasis effect pattern of the second emphasis effect, Kp2 that operates the second movable body 153IW02 has higher reliability for the big hit than Kp1 that outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, and further than Kp2. The Kp3, which outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R and operates the second movable body 153IW02, has a higher reliability for a big hit. As a result, it is possible to pay attention to which pattern is emphasized.

After step 153IWS009, when any one of Kp1 to Kp3 is determined as the enhancement effect pattern of the second emphasis effect (N in step 153IWS010), the effect control CPU 120 has an aspect of the emphasis effect (speaker 8L) in the middle of the emphasis effect. , 8R emphasis, emphasis change execution by the second movable body 153IW02) changes The emphasis change execution lottery is performed to determine whether or not the emphasis change is executed (step 153IWS011). Specifically, using the emphasis change execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), a lottery process based on a random number is performed, and the presence or absence of an emphasis change is determined.

After step 153IWS011, the effect control CPU 120 performs an emphasis mode determination lottery for determining the emphasis mode in the enhancement effect of the second emphasis effect (step 153IWS012). Specifically, when performing an emphasis effect using the speakers 8L and 8R, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the speaker mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), and the speakers 8L and 8R are used. Determine the emphasizing mode in the emphasizing effect. Further, when performing an emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the second movable body mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (C), and the second movable body is performed. The emphasis mode in the enhancement effect using 153IW02 is determined.

After step 153IWS012, the effect control CPU 120 performs a start timing determination lottery for determining the start timing of the emphasis effect of the second emphasis effect (step 153IWS013). Specifically, using the start timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (D), a lottery process based on random numbers is performed to determine the start timing of the emphasis effect of the second emphasis effect.

Further, when the execution of the third vibration effect is determined (Y in step 153IWS014), the effect control CPU 120 determines the effect pattern of the third emphasis effect for emphasizing the vibration in the third vibration effect. 3 Emphasis effect pattern determination lottery is performed (step 153IWS015). In step 153IWS015, specifically, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the third emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (D), and the emphasis effect pattern of the third emphasis effect is determined.

FIG. 8-6 (D) is an explanatory diagram showing a third emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table. In the third emphasis effect pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-6 (D), determination values for the emphasis effect pattern are assigned to each variable display result.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, Kp0 at a rate of 2%, Kp1 at a rate of 10%, Kp2 at a rate of 40%, and Kp2 at a rate of 48% as the emphasis effect pattern of the third emphasis effect. Kp3 is determined.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, Kp0 is 48%, Kp1 is 40%, and Kp2 is 2% as the second emphasis pattern. Kp3 is determined by.

As described above, as the emphasis effect pattern of the third emphasis effect, Kp2 that operates the second movable body 153IW02 has higher reliability for the big hit than Kp1 that outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, and further than Kp2. The Kp3, which outputs a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R and operates the second movable body 153IW02, has a higher reliability for a big hit. As a result, it is possible to pay attention to which pattern is emphasized.

After step 153IWS015, when any one of Kp1 to Kp3 is determined as the enhancement effect pattern of the third emphasis effect (N of step 153IWS016), the effect control CPU 120 has an aspect of the emphasis effect (speaker 8L) in the middle of the emphasis effect. , 8R emphasis, emphasis change execution by the second movable body 153IW02) changes The emphasis change execution lottery is performed to determine whether or not the emphasis change is executed (step 153IWS017). Specifically, using the emphasis change execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), a lottery process based on a random number is performed, and the presence or absence of an emphasis change is determined.

After step 153IWS017, the effect control CPU 120 performs an emphasis mode determination lottery for determining the emphasis mode in the enhancement effect of the third emphasis effect (step 153IWS018). Specifically, when performing an emphasis effect using the speakers 8L and 8R, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the speaker mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), and the speakers 8L and 8R are used. Determine the emphasizing mode in the emphasizing effect. Further, when performing an emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02, a lottery process based on a random number is performed using the second movable body mode determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (C), and the second movable body is performed. The emphasis mode in the enhancement effect using 153IW02 is determined.

After step 153IWS018, the effect control CPU 120 performs a start timing determination lottery for determining the start timing of the emphasis effect of the third emphasis effect (step 153IWS019). Specifically, using the start timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (D), a lottery process based on random numbers is performed to determine the start timing of the emphasis effect of the third emphasis effect.

Then, the effect control CPU 120 sets a vibration effect and an emphasis effect according to each lottery result (step 153IWS020).

After that, the effect control CPU 120 performs a first movable body effect execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the first movable body effect that operates the first movable body 153IW01 (step 153IWS021). Specifically, using the first movable body effect execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (E), a lottery process based on a random number is performed, and whether or not the first movable body effect is executed is determined.

FIG. 8-7 (E) is an explanatory diagram showing a first movable body effect execution lottery table. In the first movable body effect execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (E), a determination value for whether or not the first movable body effect is executed is assigned to each variable display result.

For example, when the variable display result is a big hit, it is determined at a rate of 90% that the first movable body effect is executed and at a rate of 10% that the first movable body effect is not executed.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, it is determined at a rate of 40% that the first movable body effect is executed and at a rate of 60% that the first movable body effect is not executed.

For example, when the variable display result is out of reach, it is determined at a rate of 15% that the first movable body effect is executed and at a rate of 85% that the first movable body effect is not executed.

When the effect control CPU 120 is determined to execute the first movable body effect (Y in step 153IWS022), the effect control CPU 120 sets the execution of the first movable body effect (step 153IWS023).

Here, with reference to FIGS. 8-6 (B) to (D) and FIGS. 8-7 (E), the operation frequency of the first movable body 153IW01 and the operation frequency of the second movable body 153IW02 are compared. First, since the first movable body 153IW01 is operated when it is determined in step 153IWS021 to perform the first movable body effect, the operation frequency of the first movable body 153IW01 is the first movable body effect. (See FIG. 8-7 (E)). Next, it was decided that the second movable body 153IW02 would perform a vibration effect in step 153IWS001, and then it was decided to perform an emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02 in steps 153IWS003, S009, S015. The operation frequency of the second movable body 153IW02 is such that the vibration effect is executed (see FIG. 8-6 (A)) and the emphasis effect is executed using the second movable body 153IW02. It is a value obtained by multiplying the ratios (see FIGS. 8-6 (B) to (D)).

Therefore, the execution ratio of the first movable body effect (see FIG. 8-7 (E)), the execution ratio of the vibration effect (see FIG. 8-6 (A)), and the emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02 are executed. The values obtained by multiplying the ratios (see FIGS. 8-6 (B) to (D)) are compared. The execution rate of the first movable body effect is 90% when it is a big hit, 40% when it is out of reach, and 15% when it is a big hit (see FIG. 8-7 (E)). On the other hand, the maximum value of the execution ratio of the emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02 is 88% when it is a big hit (see FIG. 8-6 (D)), and 30% when it is out of reach (Fig. 8-Fig. 8-). 6 (B)), 10% when it is out of reach (see FIG. 8-6 (D)). As described above, the operation frequency of the second movable body 153IW02 is the ratio of executing the vibration effect (see FIG. 8-6 (A)) and the ratio of executing the emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02 (FIG. 8-6). Since it is a value obtained by multiplying (see (B) to (D)), it can be said that the value is smaller than the maximum value of the execution ratio of the emphasis effect using the second movable body 153IW02. Therefore, when the maximum value is compared with the execution rate of the first movable body effect, the execution rate of the first movable body effect is a larger value, so that the operation frequency of the first movable body 153IW01 is the second. It is higher than the operation frequency of the movable body 153IW02.

As described above, according to the feature unit 153IW, it is a game machine capable of executing a game, and is capable of vibrating means (in this example, a vibrator motor 153IW13) and vibration control of the vibrating means. Vibration control means (in this example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 in which vibration effect is set in step 153IWS020 and step S172 is executed) and effect means (in this example, speakers 8L, 8R, second movable body 153IW02). The effect control means includes an effect control means (in this example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing step S76) that controls the execution of the effect, and the effect control means vibrates the effect means when the vibrating means vibrates. It includes a first effect pattern (Kp1 to Kp3 in this example) that controls the corresponding mode and a second effect pattern (Kp0 in this example) that does not control the effect means to the vibration corresponding mode when the vibrating means vibrates. The effect can be executed by a plurality of effect patterns. As a result, the vibration may or may not be emphasized, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced.

In the present embodiment, the speakers 8L, 8R and the second movable body 153IW02 have been described as the staging means in the emphasis staging, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the image display device 5 may display a swaying image (for example, an image in which a flame sways), or blink a predetermined lighting member to perform an enhancement effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, the vibrator motor 153IW13 as the vibration means is built in the push button 31B, but it may be arranged at any position of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, as the vibration effect, it is decided to execute as an effect different from the operation effect that accepts the operation of the push button 31B, but the present invention is not limited to this. May be executed.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the effect control means can execute the effect by a plurality of effect patterns including the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern having different advantages from the first effect pattern. (In this example, Kp0 to Kp3 have different reliabilitys for being controlled by a jackpot). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

The reliability of controlling the jackpot has been described as "advantage", but it is not limited to this. For example, in a gaming machine capable of executing one effect including a successful pattern and a failed pattern, the reliability of the success of the effect may differ between the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern. good. In addition, it appears to be a jackpot that is disadvantageous to the player among multiple types of jackpots (for example, a jackpot in which only a small amount of prize balls can be paid out, a jackpot that triggers control to a low probability state or a low base state). A game that can perform a promotion effect that makes it appear as if it has been promoted to a jackpot that is advantageous to the player (for example, a jackpot that can be expected to pay out a large number of prize balls, a jackpot that triggers control to a high probability state or a high base state). If it is a machine, the reliability of performing the promotion effect may be different between the first effect pattern and the second effect pattern.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the staging control means controls the execution of the staging using a plurality of staging means (speakers 8L, 8R, second movable body 153IW02 in this example), and the vibrating means vibrates. It is possible to execute the effect by a plurality of effect patterns (Kp1 to Kp3 in this example) in which the combination of the effect means for controlling the vibration corresponding mode is different. This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the initial operation control means (in this example, the portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing step S72) for controlling the initial operation is provided, and the initial operation control means includes the vibration means. When performing the initial operation of vibrating, the effect means is not controlled to the vibration-compatible mode (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 performs a confirmation operation for confirming the operation of the vibrator motor 153IW in step S72, but emphasizes the effect. (Does not output a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, and does not operate the second movable body 153IW02). Thereby, the initial operation can be preferably performed.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the staging control means can execute the staging by the staging pattern that controls the staging means in a vibration corresponding mode in which the degree of emphasizing the vibration of the vibrating means changes (in this example, the staging). When the control CPU 120 decides to perform the emphasis change when the emphasis effect pattern is Kp3, the control CPU 120 shifts from the stage where the emphasis is performed using any of the effect members to the stage where the emphasis is performed using the speakers 8L and 8R. Further, it is possible to perform an emphasizing effect that shifts to the stage of emphasizing using both the speakers 8L and 8R and the second movable body 153IW02). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

In the present embodiment, the degree of emphasizing vibration changes as the number of staging means for emphasizing vibration increases, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the degree of emphasizing the vibration may be changed by changing the staging mode of the emphasizing effect in one staging means. Specifically, the volume of the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R may be increased, the range of the sound may be changed, or the amplitude of the second movable body 153IW02 may be increased.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the staging control means can execute the staging by the staging pattern that controls the staging means in a plurality of vibration-corresponding modes having different degrees of emphasizing the vibration of the vibrating means (in this example,). The effect control CPU 120 can execute the enhancement effect using the speakers 8L and 8R in a plurality of emphasis modes in which the volume of the output voice is different, and the second movable body is in a plurality of emphasis modes having different magnitudes of amplitude. It is possible to perform an emphasis effect using 153IW02). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

In the present embodiment, it is determined that the emphasis effect can be executed by a plurality of patterns in which the volume of the sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the amplitude of the second movable body 153IW02 are different. However, for example, it may be possible to execute the emphasis effect by a plurality of patterns in which the time when the sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the time when the second movable body 153IW02 is operated are different.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the staging control means can execute the staging by the staging pattern that controls the staging means in the vibration corresponding mode at the time when the vibrating means vibrates and at least a part of the vibrating means does not overlap (the present). In the example, the effect control CPU 120 can determine the start timing of the emphasis effect 1 second before the start of vibration, at the start of vibration, and 1 second after the start of vibration). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

For example, when the emphasis effect is started 1 second before the start of the vibration, the execution of the emphasis effect suggests the execution of the vibration effect, which can give the player a sense of expectation. Further, for example, when the emphasis effect is started 1 second after the start of vibration, the emphasis effect is performed after the player is discouraged because the emphasis effect is not performed, so that the interest can be improved. ..

In the present embodiment, it has been explained that the start timing of the emphasis effect may be different from the start timing of the vibration effect, but even if the end timing of the emphasis effect is different from the end timing of the vibration effect. good. For example, the vibration effect may be terminated even though the emphasis effect is being executed, or the vibration effect may be continuously executed even though the emphasis effect is completed. Further, the advantages may differ depending on whether or not the execution periods of the vibration effect and the emphasis effect match. This can improve the interest.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the directing means is a directing sound in the first sound range (in this example, a normal sound range to a high range of 100 Hz or higher) and a second sound range lower than the first sound range (in this example, in this example). It is possible to output a directing sound in the low range of 20 Hz to less than 100 Hz, and the vibration control means vibrates the vibrating means in response to the output of the directing sound when at least the directing sound in the second sound range is output (). In this example, the vibrator motor 153IW13 generates vibration in accordance with the output of the effect sound when the effect sound in the low frequency range of 20 Hz to less than 100 Hz is output). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by giving the player a powerful effect while reducing the cost. For example, even though the woofer speaker is not provided, it is possible to give the feeling that vibration is generated by the bass output from the woofer speaker.

Further, as described above, according to the feature unit 153IW, the vibration means (in this example, the vibrator motor 153IW13) which is a game machine capable of executing a game and can vibrate, and the vibration control of the vibration means are controlled. Possible vibration control means (in this example, the portion of the effect control CPU 120 in which the vibration effect is set in step 153IWS020 and the step S172 is executed) and the effect means (in this example, the speakers 8L, 8R, the second movable body). 153IW02) is provided with an effect control means (in this example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing step S76) for controlling the execution of the effect, and the effect control means is the effect means when the vibrating means vibrates. Can be controlled in a vibration-compatible manner (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the emphasis effect with any of the emphasis effect patterns Kp1 to Kp3), and the effect is produced when the vibration means vibrates. The first vibration correspondence pattern (in this example, Kp1 that outputs sound from the speakers 8L and 8R) that controls the means to the first vibration correspondence mode, and the effect means are controlled to the second vibration correspondence mode when the vibration means vibrates. The effect can be executed by a plurality of vibration-corresponding patterns including the second vibration-corresponding pattern (in this example, Kp2 for operating the second movable body 153IW02). As a result, the vibration can be emphasized in a plurality of types of modes, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced.

Here, "a first vibration corresponding pattern that controls the effect means to the first vibration corresponding mode when the vibrating means vibrates, and a second vibration that controls the effect means to the second vibration corresponding mode when the vibrating means vibrates. "Multiple vibration-corresponding patterns including corresponding patterns" means a plurality of vibration-corresponding patterns that control different effect means to different vibration-corresponding modes, and a plurality of vibrations that control the same effect means to different vibration-corresponding modes. It is a concept including a correspondence pattern.

That is, as shown in the present embodiment, Kp1 that outputs sound from the speakers 8L and 8R corresponds to the "first vibration corresponding pattern", and Kp2 that operates the second movable body 153IW02 corresponds to the "second vibration corresponding pattern". Or, the pattern of the emphasis effect that controls the second movable body 153IW02 to the first vibration correspondence mode (for example, the magnitude of the amplitude is "large") is the "first vibration correspondence pattern". The pattern of the emphasis effect that controls the second movable body 153IW02 in the second vibration-corresponding mode (for example, the magnitude of the amplitude is “small”) may correspond to the “second vibration-corresponding pattern”.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the effect control means produces an effect by a plurality of vibration corresponding patterns including a first vibration corresponding pattern and a second vibration corresponding pattern having a different advantage from the first vibration corresponding pattern. It is feasible (in this example, Kp1 and Kp3 have different confidence levels for being controlled by a jackpot). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the staging control means controls the execution of the staging using a plurality of staging means (speakers 8L, 8R, second movable body 153IW02 in this example), and the vibrating means vibrates. The staging can be performed by a plurality of vibration-corresponding patterns (Kp1 to Kp3 in this example) in which the combination of the staging means for controlling the vibration-corresponding mode is different. This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the initial operation control means (in this example, the portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing step S72) for controlling the initial operation is provided, and the initial operation control means includes the vibration means. When performing the initial operation of vibrating, the effect means is not controlled to the vibration-compatible mode (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 performs a confirmation operation for confirming the operation of the vibrator motor 153IW in step S72, but emphasizes the effect. (Does not output a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R, and does not operate the second movable body 153IW02). Thereby, the initial operation can be preferably performed.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the effect control means can execute the effect by the vibration corresponding pattern that controls the effect means in the vibration corresponding mode in which the degree of emphasizing the vibration of the vibrating means changes (in this example, the effect is generated). When the effect control CPU 120 decides to perform the emphasis change when the emphasis effect pattern is Kp3, the effect control CPU 120 moves from the stage of not performing the emphasis using any of the effect members to the stage of performing the emphasis using the speakers 8L and 8R. It is possible to perform an emphasis effect that shifts to the stage of shifting and further shifting to the stage of highlighting using both the speakers 8L, 8R and the second movable body 153IW02). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the effect control means can execute the effect by the vibration corresponding pattern that controls the effect means in a plurality of vibration corresponding modes having different degrees of emphasizing the vibration of the vibrating means (in this example). The effect control CPU 120 can execute the enhancement effect using the speakers 8L and 8R in a plurality of emphasis modes in which the volume of the output voice is different, and is second movable in the plurality of emphasis modes having different magnitudes of amplitude. It is possible to perform an emphasis effect using the body 153IW02). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the effect control means can execute the effect by the vibration corresponding pattern that controls the effect means to the vibration corresponding mode at the time when the vibrating means vibrates and at least a part of the vibrating means does not overlap. In this example, the effect control CPU 120 can determine the start timing of the emphasis effect 1 second before the start of vibration, at the start of vibration, and 1 second after the start of vibration). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the directing means is a directing sound in the first sound range (in this example, a normal sound range to a high range of 100 Hz or higher) and a second sound range lower than the first sound range (in this example, in this example). It is possible to output a directing sound in the low range of 20 Hz to less than 100 Hz, and the vibration control means vibrates the vibrating means in response to the output of the directing sound when at least the directing sound in the second sound range is output (). In this example, the vibrator motor 153IW13 generates vibration in accordance with the output of the effect sound when the effect sound in the low frequency range of 20 Hz to less than 100 Hz is output). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by giving the player a powerful effect while reducing the cost.

Further, as described above, according to the feature unit 153IW, the vibration means (in this example, the vibrator motor 153IW13) which is a game machine capable of executing a game and can vibrate, and the vibration control of the vibration means are controlled. A possible vibration control means (in this example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 in which a vibration effect is set in step 153IWS020 and step S172 is executed) and a decorative body (in this example, a second movable body 153IW02) are provided. The decorative body is provided by an operable first function (in this example, a function as a border of the image display device 5) without operation and a second function (in this example, a function as a border of the image display device 5) with operation (in this example, the vibrator motor 153IW113). A decorative body control means (in this example, in the effect control CPU 120, which has a function of emphasizing the generated vibration) and capable of controlling the operation of the decorative body, one of Kp2 and Kp3 is determined as the emphasis effect pattern. Step 153 (part for executing IWS020, S172) is further provided, and after the player is made to recognize the first function in the decorative body, the decorative body control means operates the decorative body when the vibrating means vibrates, so that the second function is performed. (In this example, the effect control CPU 120 causes the player to recognize the function of the image display device 5 as a border, and then Kp2, Kp3 when performing a vibration effect. By performing the emphasis effect, the player is made to recognize the function of emphasizing the vibration). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Specifically, after making the player recognize the first function and then making the player recognize the second function, after impressing the first function as the function of the decorative body (the function of the decorative body is only the first function). Since the decorative body is operated after (after making it look as if it is), it is possible to surprise the player and emphasize the vibration by operating the decorative body that does not seem to operate at first glance. ..

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, an image display means (in this example, the image display device 5) capable of displaying an image is provided, and the decorative body has a first function as a border of the image display means (in this example, the image display device 5). It has a function as a border of the image display device 5). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, the decorative body may have a first function other than the function as a border of the image display means.

For example, the decorative body includes an operable operating means (for example, a push button 31B and a stick controller 31A), and the decorative body detects an operation on the push button 31B for which the mode is switched based on the operation on the operating means. In a gaming machine that controls switching of the effect mode based on the operation, the function changes to indicate the effect mode being controlled each time the operation to the push button 31B is detected. Further, for example, the operation to the stick controller 31A. In a gaming machine whose volume / brightness can be adjusted based on the detection of This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, for example, the decorative body may have a first function of notifying the name of the gaming machine (for example, a function of indicating a character string of the name or abbreviation of the gaming machine). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

In addition, "to make the player recognize the function" is to make the player recognize that the function has been fulfilled. For example, to make the player recognize the first function as the edging of the image display device 5 in the second decorative body 153IW02 is to allow the player to visually recognize the image display device 5 and the second decorative body 153IW02. Further, for example, to make the player recognize the second function of emphasizing the vibration in the second decorative body 153IW02 means that the player has executed the emphasizing effect using the second decorative body 153IW02 in parallel with the emphasizing effect. Is to recognize.

Further, for example, to make the player recognize the first function of switching the mode based on the operation of the operating means in the decorative body, the player visually recognizes that the mode of the decorative body has been switched. Further, for example, to make the player recognize the first function of notifying the name of the gaming machine in the decorative body is to allow the player to visually recognize the decorative body.

Further, the decorative body having the first function and the second function is not limited to a single decorative body. For example, an aggregate of a plurality of decorative bodies may have a function as a border of the image display device 9, and the plurality of decorative bodies may operate when vibration occurs. In that case, the operation mode is different for each decorative body (for example, the edge of the image display device 9 is operated so as to be broken by vibration due to the difference in the operation direction, the length of the operation period, and the length of the operation distance). It may operate in a uniform operation mode. Further, there are a pattern in which only a part of the decorative bodies operates and a pattern in which all the decorative bodies operate among the plurality of decorative bodies, and the emphasis effect is performed by one of the patterns according to the degree of emphasizing the vibration. You may do it.

Further, for example, it has a function of indicating that a plurality of decorative bodies are controlled to different effect modes (for example, if the plurality of decorative bodies are controlled to the first mode, the lamp built in the decorative body A is turned on, and the second If the mode is controlled to two modes, the lamp built in the decorative body B lights up), and the plurality of decorative bodies may operate when vibration occurs. In that case, the operation mode may be different for each decorative body (for example, the operation direction, the length of the operation period, and the length of the operation distance are different), or even those that operate in a uniform operation mode. good. Further, all the decorative bodies may be operated, or some decorative bodies (for example, only the decorative bodies in which the built-in lamp is lit) may be operated.

Further, for example, a plurality of decorative bodies have a function of notifying the name of the gaming machine (for example, a decorative body A for notifying the title of the content used as the motif of the effect and a decorative body B for notifying the subtitle of the content. (For example, a collection of decorative bodies indicating one character at a time has a function of notifying the name of a gaming machine), and the plurality of decorative bodies operate when vibration occurs. May be good. In that case, the operation mode may be different for each decorative body (for example, the operation direction, the length of the operation period, and the length of the operation distance are different), or even those that operate in a uniform operation mode. good. Further, all the decorative bodies may operate, or some decorative bodies (for example, only the decorative body that notifies the title) may operate.

Further, as described above, according to the feature unit 153IW, the vibration means (in this example, the vibrator motor 153IW13) which is a game machine capable of executing the game and can vibrate, and the vibration control of the vibration means are controlled. A possible vibration control means (in this example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 in which a vibration effect is set in step 153IWS020 and step S172 is executed) and a movable first decorative body (in this example, a first movable body). 153IW01) and a second decorative body (in this example, the second movable body 153IW02) different from the first decorative body are provided, and the second decorative body is provided so as to be operable, and the operation allowed in the first decorative body. Arranged so that the permissible range of movement in the second decorative body is visually recognized as a smaller range than the range (see FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2), the first decorative body and the second decorative body. (In this example, in the effect control CPU 120, a portion in which one of Kp2 and Kp3 is determined as the emphasis effect pattern and steps 153IWS020 and S172 are executed, and steps 153IWS023 and S172 are performed. Further, the decorative body control means operates the first decorative body according to the progress of the effect (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 executes the first movable body effect as a variable effect). The second decorative body can be operated when the vibrating means vibrates (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 operates the second movable body 153IW02 as an emphasizing effect that emphasizes the vibration generated by the vibrator motor 153IW13. It is possible). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Specifically, it is arranged so that the permissible range of movement in the second decorative body is visually recognized as smaller than the permissible range of movement in the first decorative body, so that the player can see the first. 1 The decorative body is a decorative body that clearly seems to work, while the second decorative body can be impressed as a decorative body that seems to work at first glance, so that a decorative body that does not seem to work at first glance works. This can surprise the player and emphasize the vibration.

It should be noted that "arranged so that the permissible range of movement in the second decorative body is visually recognized as being smaller than the permissible range of movement in the first decorative body" is the apparent second decoration. It means that the permissible range of movement in the body is smaller than the permissible range of movement in the first decorative body, and the permissible range of movement in the actual first decorative body and the permissible range of movement in the second decorative body will be either. The range of may be larger.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the decorative body control means operates the first decorative body more frequently than the second decorative body is operated (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 is the second movable). The emphasis effect that operates the body 153IW02 can be performed at a higher rate than the first movable body effect). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Further, according to the feature portion 153IW, the second decorative body has a function (chain 153IW04 in this example) for making it easier for the player to recognize the operation of the second decorative body. This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

Specifically, as a function for making it easier for the player to recognize the operation of the second movable body 153IW02, by providing the chain 153IW04 at which vibration is easily propagated, the chain 153IW04 becomes the chain 153IW04 when the second movable body 153IW02 operates. Since it sways irregularly, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the movement of the second movable body 153IW02, and it is possible to enhance the effect of the effect.

As a function for making it easier for the player to recognize the operation of the second decorative body, a reflective member that swings by vibration and easily reflects light may be provided on the second decorative body, or light may be emitted. The second decorative body may be made of a material that reflects diffusely.

Further, according to the feature unit 153IW, the decorative body control means operates the second decorative body in a region different from the region visible to the player as an allowable range of movement in the second decorative body (in this example, the second decorative body is operated. As an allowable range for the operation of the second movable body 153IW02, a narrow area outside the second movable body 153IW02 and inside the case 153IW03 can be visually recognized, and a narrow area on the inner side as seen from the player (from the player). The second movable body 153IW02 is operated in a region) that was not visible as an allowable range of operation. See FIGS. 8-1 and 8-2). This makes it possible to enhance the staging effect.

In the present embodiment, the determination ratio of the emphasis effect pattern (Kp0 to Kp3) is different depending on the type of vibration effect (first vibration effect to third vibration effect) (FIG. 8-6 (FIG. 8-6). B) to (D)), the determination ratio of the emphasis effect pattern may be different depending on the vibration effect pattern (Sp0 to Sp7). For example, the more the number of vibration effects is, the easier it is to determine Kp3 for outputting a predetermined sound from the speakers 8L and 8R and operating the second movable body 153IW02.

Further, when the vibration effect is executed a plurality of times, for example, the degree of emphasis indicated by the emphasis effect when the second vibration effect is performed is higher than the degree of emphasis indicated by the emphasis effect when the first vibration effect is performed. When is weaker (for example, the emphasis effect pattern in the first vibration effect is Kp3, but the emphasis effect pattern in the second vibration effect is Kp1), the player's interest is sufficiently improved. It may not be possible. Therefore, when a plurality of vibration effects are executed, the degree of emphasis indicated by the emphasis effect when the vibration effect is performed this time may be set to be higher than the degree of emphasis indicated by the emphasis effect when the previous vibration effect is performed. good. Specifically, first, the first emphasis effect pattern in the emphasis effect corresponding to the last vibration effect among the plurality of vibration effects is determined, and then the vibration effect to be executed before the last vibration effect is executed. As the second emphasis effect pattern in the emphasis effect corresponding to, the emphasis effect pattern having an emphasis degree less than the emphasis degree of the first emphasis effect pattern may be determined. In addition, the combination of the emphasis effect patterns of the plurality of emphasis effects corresponding to the plurality of vibration effects indicates that the degree of emphasis indicated by the emphasis effect when the vibration effect is performed this time is the degree of emphasis indicated by the emphasis effect when the previous vibration effect is performed. It is provided so as to be as described above, and may determine the combination of any of the emphasis effect patterns.

As described above, the feature unit 153IW surprises the player by operating the decorative body that does not seem to work at first glance, but the decorative body that does not seem to work at first glance is described above. Not limited to things. For example, in general, a series of gaming machines according to the production content (for example, a plurality of gaming machines having the same content as the production motif) may be manufactured, but they are newly manufactured. A decorative body that is apparently common to the new version of the gaming machine and the old version of the gaming machine manufactured before the gaming machine is manufactured is provided, and the decorative body does not work on the old version of the gaming machine. However, in the new version of the gaming machine, the decorative body may be provided so as to be operable, so that the decorative body that does not seem to operate at first glance may be operated to surprise the player. In addition, a decorative body that is apparently common to a normal gaming machine whose probability of becoming a big hit is a normal value and a high-probability gaming machine (so-called Amadeji) whose probability of becoming a big hit is higher than the normal value is provided. In a high-probability gaming machine, the decorative body does not operate normally, but in a high-probability gaming machine, the decorative body is provided so as to be operable, and the player is surprised by operating the decorative body that does not seem to operate at first glance. It may be given.

Further, in each of the tables shown in FIGS. 8-6 and 8-7, the determination ratio differs depending on whether the variable display result is a big hit / out-of-reach / out-of-reach. The determination ratio in some or all of the tables shown in 6 and FIG. 8-7 may differ depending on other factors. For example, the determination ratio may differ depending on factors such as the presence / absence of pseudo-series, the number of pseudo-variations in the pseudo-series (number of pseudo-series), the type of reach effect, and the type of effect mode to be controlled.

Further, in the case of a variation involving a pseudo-ream, the larger the number of pseudo-variations (for example, in one variation, the second pseudo-variation is more than the first pseudo-variation, or 2). The third pseudo-variation may be configured with a higher execution rate of the emphasis effect than the third pseudo-variation), or the emphasis effect of an aspect advantageous to the player may be executed at a higher rate (emphasis effect pattern). It is easy to determine Kp3, to execute the emphasis change effect, to output a loud predetermined sound from the speakers 8L, 8R, and to greatly oscillate the second movable body 153IW02. Alternatively, it may be easy to determine a timing different from the start timing of the vibration as the start timing of the emphasis effect). As a result, as the number of pseudo-reams increases, the emphasis effect is likely to occur, and the emphasis effect of an aspect advantageous to the player is likely to occur, so that the effect of the pseudo-ream can be improved.
