Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine that can perform variable display and can be controlled to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player.

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 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 a specific display result in the variable display area, the gaming state (game). There is a machine (so-called pachinko machine) that is configured to give a predetermined game value to a player by changing the state of the machine (specifically, the state in which the game machine is controlled).

Further, after setting a predetermined number of bets for one game on a predetermined game medium, the player operates the start lever to start variable display of the identification information 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 player sets the game state to the predetermined game value. There is something that is configured to give to (so-called slot machine).

The game value means that the payout of prize balls 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 a 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 easily 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, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the large winning openings are won, 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. In addition, 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 that matches the 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 continues (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.

In addition, a gaming machine that displays a specific display (for example, hold display, active display) corresponding to the variable display and can change the display mode of the specific display according to the execution of an action effect that can act on the specific display. there were. For example, a pattern in which the character throws an icon suggesting the display mode of the active display after the change, the thrown icon collides with the active display, and the display mode of the active display changes, and the thrown icon Some patterns are provided with a pattern in which the display mode of the active display does not change without colliding with the active display (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2019-5395 (FIGS. 14 to 16)

However, when a pattern suggesting a display mode after the change of the specific display and a pattern not suggesting the display mode after the change of the specific display are provided as the execution pattern of the action effect, the action effect of each pattern is performed. In some cases, there was room to consider the rate at which the display mode of the specific display, which is the execution target of the action effect, changes.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to improve the game entertainment by considering the rate at which the display mode of the specific display, which is the execution target of the action effect, changes when the action effect is performed.

The game machine according to the present invention is a game machine that can perform variable display and can be controlled to an advantageous state (for example, a big hit game state) that is advantageous to the player, and is a specific display corresponding to the variable display (for example, hold display, active). A specific display means capable of displaying (display) (for example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing steps 36IWS105 and S124) and an action effect (for example, a character image) capable of acting on the specific display (for example). , Action effect) (for example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 that executes step S172 after performing step 36IWS205) and the action effect based on the execution of the action effect. A changing means (for example, staging) that can be changed to any of a plurality of stages of display modes (for example, white, blue, and red) having different expectations for controlling the display mode of the specific display of the execution target. The control CPU 120 includes a portion for executing step S172), and the action staging execution means starts in a suggestion mode (for example, a blue suggestion mode, a red suggestion mode) that suggests a display mode of the specific display after the change. It is possible to execute the action effect of the first pattern and the action effect of the second pattern starting in a non-suggestion mode (for example, a non-suggestion mode) that does not suggest the display mode of the specific display after the change. As the action effect of the first predetermined pattern, the action effect of the first predetermined pattern is started in a suggestion mode (for example, a blue suggestion mode) that suggests a display mode (for example, blue) in a stage lower than the specific stage as a display mode of the specific display after the change. And, as the display mode of the specific display after the change, the action effect of the first specific pattern starting in the suggestion mode (for example, the red suggestion mode) suggesting the display mode (for example, red) at the stage higher than the specific stage is executed. It is possible, and when the display mode of the specific display is changed, either the action effect of the first predetermined pattern or the action effect of the first specific pattern can be executed, while the display mode of the specific display is changed. When not allowed, the action effect of the first specific pattern is not executed, and the action effect of the first predetermined pattern can be executed (for example, it is determined that the display mode of the specific display is changed after the action effect is executed. If so, the action effect of any of the blue suggestion mode and the red suggestion mode can be executed (FIGS. 8-11 (B) and (C)), while the specific display is displayed after the action effect is executed. Blue suggestion if it is determined not to change the aspect The action effect of the above is feasible, but the action effect of the red suggestion mode is not executed (FIGS. 8-11 (D), (E))) , and the specific display means is a variable display that has not yet been started as a specific display. It is possible to display the hold display corresponding to and the corresponding display corresponding to the variable display during execution, and the action effect execution means is at a different ratio depending on whether the execution target is the hold display or the corresponding display. It is characterized in that the action effect of the first pattern or the second pattern is executed, and when the execution target is the corresponding display, the action effect of the first pattern is executed at a higher rate than the action effect of the second pattern . According to such a configuration, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

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

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

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the right side of the game area), a variable display (also referred to as a special figure game) of a special symbol (also referred to as a special figure) as a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed. 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 a 7-segment LED or 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). Fluctuations 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. When the special symbol or the ordinary symbol described later is changed, 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. The variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is blinked and displayed. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped (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 a variable display or a variable display.

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 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), 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 staging 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 variable display. 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 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 the decorative pattern that are executed in synchronization are also 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 also 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 stored items on hold. 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 that 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 can be paid out and the first special figure game can 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 can be paid out and the second special figure game can be started. The variable winning ball device 6B may be any as long as it changes between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to the one provided with an electric tulip type accessory.

At predetermined positions 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), general winning openings 10 are provided, which are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. In this case, when entering 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 includes a large winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and has a large winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state depending on the large winning opening door. Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door (for the special electric accessory) is in the off state, the large winning opening door closes the large winning opening 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 a prize ball. 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 the 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.

A normal symbol display 25C is provided above the normal symbol display 20. 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 for changing 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 game machine frame 3, and game effect lamps 9 for game effects are further provided around the game 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 game ball toward the game area by the hitting ball launching device is provided.

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, the gaming balls paid out as prize balls and the gaming balls rented by the predetermined ball lending machine are held (stored) so as to be able to be supplied to the hitting ball launching device. ) A hit ball supply plate (upper plate) is provided. Below the upper plate, a hit 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 gripped 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 on 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 ball striking operation handle 30 included in the pachinko game machine 1 by the player. 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 which the previous normal drawing game is being executed (when the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 but the normal drawing 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 common 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 drawing", the opening control is performed so that the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period (the second starting winning opening is opened).

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

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

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special figure game is being executed or during the period controlled by the big hit game state or the small hit game state described later (the start prize has occurred). If the special figure game based on the start winning 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 a "big hit" and a 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 mode. The open state includes the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until the earlier timing. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the large winning opening can be opened in one round, and is also hereinafter referred to as an open upper limit period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is open in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until the maximum number of times (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 jackpot 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 game 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 jackpot type, a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained or a jackpot 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 same opening mode as 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, 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 as compared with 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. Controls (high opening control, high base control) that make it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting winning opening are also executed. The time saving state is a state in which the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol (particularly the second special symbol) is improved, which is advantageous for the player.

In the probability variation state (probability fluctuation state), in addition to the time saving control, the probability variation 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 that is more advantageous for the player because it is a state in which a “big hit” is likely to occur in addition to improving the fluctuation efficiency of the special symbol.

The time saving state and the probability 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 is 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 saving control is executed is also called a high base state, and the state in which the time saving 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). It should be noted that there may be no "small hit" as the display result of the special figure game.

The game state may change based on the fact that the game 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 probabilistic 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, and 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 symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the "left", "middle", and "right" provided in the image display device 5, the first special figure game or the first 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) that 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 be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a variable display of a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. It is a mode in which 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 game machine 1, the ratio of the display result (display result of the special figure game or variable display of the decorative symbol) to be "big hit" (also called big hit reliability or big hit expectation) is determined according to the production mode. Multiple different types of reach effects are performed. Reach production includes, for example, normal reach and super reach, which has a higher hit reliability than normal reach.

When the display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived as a display result of 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 aligned and 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 a "probability change jackpot" that is controlled to a probability change state after the end of the jackpot game state, an odd number of decorative symbols (for example, "7") are aligned and displayed as a stop, and the probability change state is entered 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 aligned and displayed as a stop. 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 big hit" may be executed.

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

When the display result of the special figure game is "missing", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is not the reach mode, and the variable display result of the decorative symbol is a fixed 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 jackpot combination. The fixed decorative symbol (also referred to as) may be stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol may be "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 (hold display or active display) to a mode different from the usual mode may be executed.

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

Even during the big hit game state, the big hit middle effect that notifies the big hit game state is executed. As the big hit middle effect, an effect of notifying the number of rounds and a promotion effect indicating that the value of the big hit gaming state is improved may be executed. Further, even during the small hit game state, the small hit medium effect for notifying the small hit game state is executed. It should be noted that the big hit game during the small hit game state and in some big hit types (the big hit type in the big hit game state having the same mode as the small hit game state, for example, the big hit type in which the subsequent game state is a high accuracy 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 accuracy state and the low accuracy 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).

The main board 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control) issues a staging control command (a 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, a display result of a special figure game (including a jackpot type)) and a variation pattern used when executing a 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 stored 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 (including 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 staging control CPU 120 is a process for executing the staging together with the display control unit 123 by executing the program stored in the ROM 121 (a process for realizing the above-mentioned function of the staging control board 12, and the staging 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.

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

(Main operation of main board 11)
First, the main operations on the main board 11 will be described. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is started, and the game 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 settings include stack pointer settings, register settings for built-in devices (CTC (counter / timer circuit), parallel input / output ports, etc.), settings for making the RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

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

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

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

When the backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the data of the backed up data (used by using an error detection code) and determines whether the data is normal or not (step). S5). In step S5, for example, the parity bit and the checksum are used to determine whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data 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.

If 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 changing, 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). In accordance with this, the effect control command that specifies the game state before the power failure that is backed up, and the 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 that specifies the time of recovery from the power failure, the image display device 5, for example, notifies that the image display device 5 has recovered from the power failure or is recovering from the power failure. Display the screen to do so. The effect control CPU 120 may display an appropriate screen based on the effect control command.

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

When the CPU 103 that has executed the 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 perform 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 main-side error process, 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 indicating the number of times of winning (information indicating the number of times of winning, etc.) and probability fluctuation information (information indicating the number of times of probability change state, etc.) 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 the 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 (for details, refer to the details. See below).

Following the special symbol process processing, the normal symbol process processing 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 hit". The execution of the normal figure game is performed by driving the normal symbol display 20, and the number of normal figure reservations is displayed by turning on the normal figure hold display 25C.

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, and the look-ahead judgment is made on the effect control board 12. .. The effect control command at the time of starting winning, which is set to be transmitted in this way, is executed from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process in step S27 shown in FIG. 4 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 pending 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 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. 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 memorized, 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 determinations based on the random number value, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (a table in which the determination value to be compared with the random number value is assigned to the determination 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 set using a random value for determining the fluctuation pattern based on a preliminary determination result of whether or not the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit". The process of deciding on is included. 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 symbol game (special symbol fluctuation time) (which is also the execution time of the variable display of the decorative symbol), the mode of the variable display 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 change processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are set to change the special symbol, and the elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol. 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 special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation 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 "loss", the game state is also updated when the time saving 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 release preprocessing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. This big hit pre-opening process includes a process of setting to open the big winning opening by starting the execution of the round in the big hit game state based on the display result being "big hit". It has been. When the large winning opening is opened, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, the upper limit period for opening the big winning opening and the upper limit number of executions for 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 post-opening process of the jackpot, a process of determining whether or not the number of executions of the round that opens the jackpot has reached the set maximum number of executions, and a jackpot game state when the maximum number of executions is reached. It includes processing to make 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 post-launch processing is completed.

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

The small hit release preprocessing in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. This pre-opening process for small hits includes a process for setting the large winning opening to be open 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 release 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 measure the elapsed time from the opening state of the big winning opening and to return the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. It includes processing to determine whether or not it is. When the big 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 in 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 elapses. 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 operations 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) to clear the RAM 122, set various initial values, and press 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 the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that is generated every time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is, for example, an interrupt generated when the effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt disabled, but if a CPU that is not automatically interrupt disabled is used, an interrupt occurs. It is desirable to issue a prohibition order (DI instruction). 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 performed. 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 reception 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 staging control board 12 side is updated by the software. After that, the process returns to the process of step S73. Other processes may be executed before returning to the process of step S73.

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

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

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 the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command or the like for designating the start of the variable display is received from the main board 11. Etc. are included. When it is determined that the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 is 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, their modes, 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 executing 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 completed. The display control unit 123 starts the variable display of the decorative symbol on the image display device 5 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 effect from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting the command (sound effect signal) to the voice control board 13, and commanding the lamp control board 14 (illuminated signal). 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 according to the output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of variable display of the decorative symbol is read from the effect control pattern, or a command is received from the main board 11 to specify that the fixed decorative symbol is to be stopped and displayed. In response to what has been done, the final decorative symbol, which is the display result of the decorative symbol, is stopped and displayed. When the final 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 there is a reception of an effect control command designating to start the big hit game state or the small hit game state 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 of the command elapses 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 a 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 an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to, for example, the end of the small hit game state, and various effect controls at the end of the small hit game state based on the setting contents. To execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value "0", and the small hit end effect process is terminated.

The jackpot effect process in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In this big hit middle effect 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 set to 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 or the like corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot 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 ends.

(Explanation of feature 36IW)
Next, the feature unit 36IW will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 provided in the feature unit 36IW, the fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. 8-1 is provided.

FIG. 8-1 is an explanatory diagram showing a variation pattern of a decorative pattern prepared in advance. As shown in FIG. 8-1, in this embodiment, fluctuation patterns of Hpt11 to Hpt17 are prepared as fluctuation patterns corresponding to the case where the variable display result of the special symbol becomes a jackpot symbol. Hpt11 and Hpt12 fluctuation patterns are prepared as fluctuation patterns corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach". Hpt 11 is a variation pattern that can be selected when the number of reserved memories is less than 3, and Hpt 12 is a variation pattern that can be selected when the number of reserved memories is 3 or more. Further, as a variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach", variation patterns of Hpt13 to Hpt17 are prepared. Hpt13 and Hpt14 are fluctuation patterns with normal reach, and Hpt15 to Hpt17 are fluctuation patterns with super reach.

Hpt14, Hpt16, and Hpt17 are fluctuation patterns accompanied by a pseudo-ream effect. As shown in FIG. 8-1, the fluctuation patterns of Hpt14 and Hpt16 are re-variated once. For the fluctuation pattern of Hpt17, re-variation is performed twice. Note that the re-variation is to temporarily stop the decorative symbol that is temporarily out of alignment from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbol to the derivation display of the display result, and then re-execute the variable display of the decorative symbol. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-1, in this embodiment, fluctuation patterns of Hpt21 to Hpt25 are prepared as fluctuation patterns corresponding to the case where the variable display result of the special symbol becomes a jackpot symbol. Hpt21 and Hpt22 are fluctuation patterns with normal reach, and Hpt23 to Hpt25 are fluctuation patterns with super reach.

Hpt22, Hpt24, and Hpt25 are fluctuation patterns accompanied by a pseudo-ream effect. As shown in FIG. 8-1, the fluctuation patterns of Hpt22 and Hpt24 are re-variated once. For the fluctuation pattern of Hpt25, re-variation is performed twice.

In this embodiment, the variation pattern is first determined by using the variation pattern type determination random number (random 2), and the variation is determined by using the variation pattern determination random number (random 3). Determine one of the fluctuation patterns included in the pattern type. As such, in this embodiment, the variation pattern is determined by a two-step lottery process.

The fluctuation pattern type is a group of a plurality of fluctuation patterns according to the characteristics of the fluctuation mode. For example, a plurality of fluctuation patterns are grouped by reach type, and include a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern with normal reach, a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern with super reach A, and a fluctuation pattern with super reach B. It may be divided into fluctuation pattern types. Further, for example, a plurality of fluctuation patterns are grouped by the number of re-variations of the pseudo-ream, and a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern without a pseudo-ream, a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern of one re-variation, and a re-variation. It may be divided into a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern of two fluctuations and a fluctuation pattern type including a fluctuation pattern of three re-variations. Further, for example, a plurality of fluctuation patterns may be grouped according to the presence or absence of a specific effect such as a pseudo-ream or a slide effect.

8-2 and 8-3 are flowcharts showing an example of the pre-reading notice setting process. In the look-ahead advance notice setting process shown in FIGS. 8-2 and 8-3, the staging control CPU 120 determines whether or not a new start winning command has been received (step 36IWS101), and if not. Goes to step 36 IWS 120.

The start winning command is a disorder for the game control microcomputer 100 to determine the display result (including the jackpot type) and the fluctuation pattern when there is a start winning to the winning ball device 6A or the variable winning ball device 6B. It is a command that extracts a numerical value and indicates a winning judgment result in which a display result or a fluctuation pattern is pre-read and judged based on the extracted random number value. The start winning command is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 when there is a start winning to the winning ball device 6A or the variable winning ball device 6B. Examples of the start winning command include a symbol designation command, a variable category command, a start winning designation command, and a total hold storage number designation command.

The symbol designation command is an effect control command that indicates whether or not a big hit is obtained and the judgment result of the type of big hit among the judgment results at the time of winning. The variation category command is an effect control command that indicates a determination result (determination result of the variation pattern type) in which the value of the random number for determination of the variation pattern type falls within the range of the determination value among the determination results at the time of winning. The start winning prize designation command is an effect control command indicating which of the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening has been started. The total hold storage number designation command is an effect control command for designating the total number (total hold storage number) which is the total of the first hold storage number and the second hold storage number.

In the present embodiment, based on the variation category command, the variation is revariated when the variation is accompanied by super reach, the variation is accompanied by normal reach, the variation is accompanied by pseudo-ream, or the variation is accompanied by pseudo-ream. It is possible to specify how many times the variation is accompanied by a pseudo-ream or is uncertain. The undetermined state is a case where the variation pattern corresponding to the random number for determining the variation pattern acquired at the time of the start winning is different depending on the number of reserved storages at the start of the variation corresponding to the start winning. For example, the specific random number value corresponds to the fluctuation pattern of Hpt13 (out of normal reach) when the number of reserved memories is less than 3, and Hpt12 (Hpt12) when the number of reserved memories is 3 or more. If the value corresponds to the fluctuation pattern of non-reach (shortened)), it is uncertain which fluctuation will be performed until the fluctuation corresponding to the start winning prize for which the specific random value is acquired is started. , Undecided.

The start winning command received from the game control microcomputer 100 is temporarily stored in the start winning command storage area formed in the RAM. Specifically, in the command analysis process (step S75), the effect control CPU 120 stores the commands in the order in which they are received in the first vacant storage area of the start winning command storage area. Then, each command stored in the start winning command storage area is stored in the first storage area 1 each time the variable display of the decorative symbol is started (every time the total hold storage number subtraction designation command is received). The contents of the command storage area at the time of starting winning are shifted.

When a new start winning command is received in step 36IWS101, the staging control CPU 120 determines whether or not the high base state flag indicating that the high base state is set is set (step 36IWS102). The high base state flag is set based on a command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100, for example, when a command indicating that the game is in the high base state is transmitted, and a command indicating that the game is in the low base state. Is reset when is sent.

When the high base state flag is not set, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the new hold storage is the first hold storage (step 36IWS103). If it is not the first hold storage, the process proceeds to step 36 IWS 120. If it is the first hold storage, the process proceeds to step 36IWS105.

Further, when the high base state flag is set, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the new hold storage is the second hold storage (step 36IWS104). If it is not the second hold storage, the process proceeds to step 36 IWS 120. In the case of the second reserved storage, the process proceeds to step 36 IWS105.

In step 36IWS105, the staging control CPU 120 starts a new hold display (step 36IWS105). In the present embodiment, "white", "blue", and "red" are provided as the display modes of the hold display, but in step 36IWS105, a new hold display is started in the display mode of "white". And.

By performing the processes of steps 36IWS102 to S105, only the first hold display corresponding to the first hold memory is displayed in the low base state, and only the second hold display corresponding to the second hold memory is displayed in the high base state. It is designed to be displayed.

The staging control CPU 120 sets the change in the display mode of the hold display by performing the processes of steps 36IWS106 to S114. In the present embodiment, a change suggestion effect of displaying a character image that can act on a specific display corresponding to the variation display (hold display corresponding to the variation that has not been started, active display corresponding to the variation during execution). The display mode of the specific display can be changed when the character image performs an action effect capable of acting on the specific display.

As the effect mode of the action effect, a suggestion mode that suggests the display mode of the specific display after the change and a non-suggestion mode that does not suggest the display mode of the specific display after the change are provided. As the action effect of the suggestion mode, it is possible to execute an action effect in which a character having an item (for example, a blue or red ball) indicating the display mode of the specific display after the change acts on the specific display. As the action effect of the non-suggestion mode, it is possible to execute the action effect in which a character having no item acts on the specific display. Further, the suggestion mode suggesting blue as the display mode of the specific display after the change may be referred to as the blue suggestion mode, and the suggestion mode suggesting red as the display mode of the specific display after the change may be referred to as the red suggestion mode.

In addition, the period required to execute the action effect of the suggestion mode is configured to be longer than the period required to execute the action effect of the non-suggestion mode.

In addition, a pattern in which the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes and a pattern in which the display mode does not change when the action effect is executed are provided, and the display mode of the specific display after the character acts on the specific display. An action effect in which is changed may be referred to as an action success effect, and an action effect in which the display mode of the specific display does not change after the character acts on the specific display may be referred to as an action failure effect.

In step 36IWS106, the staging control CPU 120 determines whether or not the number of pending displays is 4 (step 36IWS106), and if the number is 1 to 3, the process proceeds to step 36IWS120. When the number of pending displays reaches 4, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the change suggestion flag indicating that the change suggestion effect is already being executed is set (step 36IWS107), and is set. If so, the process proceeds to step 36 IWS 120. If it is not set, a change suggestion effect execution lottery is performed to determine whether or not the change suggestion effect is executed (step 36IWS108). Specifically, the presence / absence of execution of the change suggestion effect is determined using the change suggestion effect execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-4 (A).

FIG. 8-4 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing a change suggestion effect execution lottery table. In the change suggestion effect execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-4 (A), judgment values for change patterns are assigned to each winning judgment result (big hit, super reach loss, normal reach loss, etc.).

For example, when the winning determination result is a big hit, it is decided that the change suggestion effect is executed at a rate of 70% and that the change suggestion effect is not executed at a rate of 30%. If the winning determination result is out of super reach, it is decided that the change suggestion effect is executed at a rate of 40% and that the change suggestion effect is not executed at a rate of 60%. When the judgment result at the time of winning is out of the normal reach, it is decided that the change suggestion effect is executed at a rate of 10% and that the change suggestion effect is not executed at a rate of 90%. If the judgment result at the time of winning is other (non-reach is out of reach or undecided), it is decided not to execute the change suggestion effect at a rate of 100%.

The effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is decided to execute the change suggestion effect (step 36IWS109), and if it is determined to execute, the change in the display mode of the specific display (hold display, active display). A change scenario determination lottery for determining a scenario is performed (step 36IWS110). The change scenario is information including a change pattern including the presence / absence of a change and a display mode after the change, and a change timing when the change occurs.

As shown in FIG. 8-4 (B), Cp1 to Cp4 are provided as the change patterns. Cp1 is a change pattern that does not change from white. Cp2 is a change pattern that changes from white to blue. Cp3 is a change pattern that changes from white to red. Cp4 is a change pattern that changes from white to blue and then to red.

As shown in FIG. 8-5 (A), as the change timing, T1 which is the first change start time after starting the specific display (target display) which is the execution target of the change suggestion effect, and the target display are started. T2, which is the start of the second fluctuation, T3, which is the start of the third fluctuation after the start of the target display, and T3, which is the start of the fourth fluctuation after the start of the target display (variation corresponding to the target display). (At the start of (target fluctuation)) T4, at the start of the first revariation in the target fluctuation T5, at the start of the second revariation in the target fluctuation T6, immediately after the start of superreach in the target fluctuation T7 and T8 just before the end of super reach in the target fluctuation are provided. That is, T1 to T3 are timings when the execution target of the change suggestion effect is the hold display, and T4 to T8 are timings when the execution target of the change suggestion effect is the active display.

In step 36 IWS 110, the staging control CPU 120 performs a lottery using the change pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-4 (B), determines the change pattern, and shows them in FIGS. 8-5 (B) and 8-5 (C). A lottery is performed using the change timing determination table to determine the change timing.

FIG. 8-4 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a change pattern determination lottery table. In the change pattern determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-4 (B), judgment values for change patterns (Cp1 to Cp4) are assigned to each winning judgment result (big hit, super reach loss, normal reach loss).

For example, when the winning determination result is a big hit, Cp1 is determined as a change pattern at a rate of 10%, Cp2 at a rate of 20%, Cp3 at a rate of 30%, and Cp4 at a rate of 40%. If the winning determination result is out of super reach, Cp1 is determined as a change pattern at a rate of 13%, Cp2 at a rate of 23%, Cp3 at a rate of 27%, and Cp4 at a rate of 37%. When the judgment result at the time of winning is out of the normal reach, Cp1 is determined as a change pattern at a rate of 40%, Cp2 at a rate of 30%, Cp3 at a rate of 20%, and Cp4 at a rate of 10%.

FIG. 8-5 (B) is an explanatory diagram showing a change timing determination lottery table used when the winning determination result is a big hit. In the change timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5 (B), the judgment result at the time of winning (normal reach jackpot, normal reach jackpot with one revariation, super reach jackpot, super reach jackpot with one revariation, 2 Judgment values for change timings (T1 to T8) are assigned for each (super reach jackpot with re-variation) times.

For example, when the judgment result at the time of winning is a normal reach jackpot, T1 is determined as a change timing at a rate of 5%, T2 at a rate of 15%, T3 at a rate of 20%, and T4 at a rate of 60%. .. If the winning judgment result is a normal reach jackpot with one re-variation, T1 at a rate of 5%, T2 at a rate of 10%, T3 at a rate of 15%, and T4 at a rate of 30%. T5 is determined as the change timing at a rate of 40%.

If the winning judgment result is a super reach jackpot, 10% will be T1, 12% will be T2, 15% will be T3, 18% will be T4, and 21% will be T7. Is determined as the change timing at a rate of 24%. If the winning judgment result is a super reach jackpot with one re-variation, T1 at a rate of 3%, T2 at a rate of 5%, T3 at a rate of 7%, and T4 at a rate of 15%. , T5 at a rate of 20%, T7 at a rate of 23%, and T8 at a rate of 27% are determined as change timings. If the winning judgment result is a super reach jackpot with two re-variations, T1 at a rate of 1%, T2 at a rate of 2%, T3 at a rate of 3%, and T4 at a rate of 4%. T5 at a rate of 5%, T6 at a rate of 10%, T7 at a rate of 25%, and T8 at a rate of 50% are determined as change timings.

FIG. 8-5 (C) is an explanatory diagram showing a change timing determination lottery table used when the winning determination result is out of order. In the change timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5 (C), the judgment result at the time of winning (normal reach is lost, normal reach is lost with one revariation, super reach is lost, super reach is lost with one revariation, 2). Judgment values for change timings (T1 to T8) are assigned to each change timing (out of super reach with re-variation).

For example, when the judgment result at the time of winning is out of the normal reach, T1 is determined as the change timing at a rate of 15%, T2 at a rate of 16%, T3 at a rate of 17%, and T4 at a rate of 52%. .. If the winning judgment result is out of normal reach with one re-variation, T1 at 14%, T2 at 15%, T3 at 16%, T4 at 22%, T5 is determined as the change timing at a rate of 33%.

If the winning judgment result is out of super reach, 13% will be T1, 14% will be T2, 15% will be T3, 17% will be T4, and 18% will be T7. Is determined as the change timing at a rate of 23%. If the winning judgment result is out of super reach with one re-variation, T1 at 11%, T2 at 12%, T3 at 13%, and T4 at 14%. , T5 at a rate of 15%, T7 at a rate of 17%, and T8 at a rate of 18% are determined as change timings. If the winning judgment result is out of super reach with two re-variations, T1 at 9%, T2 at 10%, T3 at 11%, and T4 at 12%. , T5 at a rate of 13%, T6 at a rate of 14%, T7 at a rate of 15%, and T8 at a rate of 16% are determined as change timings.

When the change pattern is Cp1, the display mode does not change, so the lottery for determining the change timing is not performed. Further, when the change pattern is Cp1 or Cp2, the number of changes in the display mode is one, so the change timing determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-5 (B) or 8-5 (C) is used. The change timing is determined by performing the lottery once. Further, when the change pattern is Cp3, the number of changes in the display mode is two, so a lottery using the change timing determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-5 (B) or FIG. 8-5 (C) is used. The change timing is determined by performing the above twice. At that time, if the result of the first lottery and the result of the second lottery have the same change timing, the lottery will be re-lotted until different timings are determined.

Further, by determining the change timing using the change timing determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-5 (B) and 8-5 (C), the timing T1 in which the specific display of the execution target of the change suggestion effect is displayed as the hold display. The timings T4 to T8 in which the specific display of the execution target of the change suggestion effect is displayed as the active display are determined as the change timing at a higher rate than those in T3. As a result, the player expects a change in the active display rather than a change in the hold display.

Further, when FIG. 8-5 (B) and FIG. 8-5 (C) are compared, the case where the fluctuation of the execution target of the change suggestion effect is the jackpot fluctuation is higher than the case where the fluctuation is the out-of-order fluctuation. The configuration is such that the timings T4 to T8 can be easily determined as the change timing. This makes it possible to give a greater sense of expectation to changes in the active display.

After that, the effect control CPU 120 stores the determined change scenario (step 36IWS111), sets the change suggestion effect flag (step 36IWS112), and performs the action effect mode setting process for determining the effect effect mode (step 36IWS112). Step 36 IWS113). Then, the change suggestion effect is started by displaying the character image at the position corresponding to the fourth hold display (step 36IWS114). The position corresponding to the fourth hold display is the upper right position of the fourth hold display. The character image displayed here is moved and displayed at a position corresponding to the specific display each time the specific display of the execution target of the change suggestion effect is shifted and displayed. For example, when the specific display of the execution target of the change suggestion effect becomes the third hold display, it is moved to the upper right position of the hold display, and when it becomes the second hold display, it is moved to the upper right position of the hold display. When it becomes the first hold display, it is moved and displayed at the upper right position of the hold display, and when it becomes the active display, it is moved and displayed at the upper right position of the active display.

The change suggestion effect is an effect that can be executed only when the number of hold displays is four, but the effect is not limited to this. For example, the change suggestion effect may be executed even when the number of hold displays is 1 to 3.

Further, the execution start timing of the change suggestion effect is set to the start winning prize (when the display of the new hold display is started), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the change suggestion effect may be started to be executed at a predetermined timing during the fluctuation, which is not related to the start winning prize.

In step 36IWS120, the staging control CPU 120 determines whether or not the hold subtraction designation command has been received (step 36IWS120). The hold subtraction designation command is the first hold subtraction designation command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 when the change of the first special symbol is started, and the game control when the change of the second special symbol is started. This is a general term for the second hold subtraction designation command transmitted from the microcomputer 100.

When the hold subtraction designation command is received in step 36IWS120, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the high base state flag is set (step 36IWS121). When the high base state flag is not set, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the started fluctuation is the fluctuation of the first special symbol (the received hold subtraction designation command is the first hold subtraction designation command). Whether or not there is) is determined (step 36IWS122). If the started fluctuation is not the fluctuation of the first special symbol, the pre-reading notice setting process is terminated. If the initiated variation is a variation of the first special symbol, the process proceeds to step 36IWS124.

Further, when the high base state flag is set, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the started fluctuation is the fluctuation of the first special symbol (the received hold subtraction designation command is the second hold subtraction designation. Whether it is a command or not) is determined (step 36 IWS123). If the started fluctuation is not the fluctuation of the second special symbol, the pre-reading notice setting process is terminated. If the initiated variation is a variation of the second special symbol, the process proceeds to step 36IWS124.

In step 36IWS124, the staging control CPU 120 starts a new active display (step 36IWS124). Specifically, the icon displayed as the first hold display is shifted and displayed as the active display. After that, each hold display is shifted and displayed (step 36 IWS125). Specifically, the icon displayed as the second hold display is shifted and displayed as the first hold display, and the icon displayed as the third hold display is shifted and displayed as the second hold display. Then, the icon displayed as the fourth hold display is shifted and displayed as the third hold display. Then, if it is displayed, the character image is moved and displayed at a position corresponding to the specific display that is the execution target of the change suggestion effect (step 36IWS126).

FIG. 8-6 is a flowchart showing the action effect mode setting process. In the action effect mode setting process shown in FIG. 8-6, the effect control CPU 120 sets 0 to the change timing determination index K (step 36IWS150), adds 1 to the change timing determination index K (step 36IWS151), and timings. It is determined whether or not TK (K: 1 to 8) is scheduled to arrive (step 36IWS152). For example, as shown in FIG. 8-5, when the winning judgment result is the normal reach, T5 to T8 are timings that are not scheduled to arrive, and the winning judgment result is the normal reach accompanied by one pseudo-ream. T6 to T8 are timings that are not scheduled to arrive, and if the winning judgment result is super reach, T5 and T6 are timings that are not scheduled to arrive, and the winning judgment result is accompanied by one pseudo-ream. In the case of super reach, T6 is a timing that is not scheduled to arrive, and other timings are timings that are scheduled to arrive.

The staging control CPU 120 shifts to step 36IWS151 when the timing TK (K: 1 to 8) is not scheduled to arrive. When the timing TK (K: 1 to 8) is scheduled to arrive, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the display mode of the specific display at the timing TK (K: 1 to 8) is scheduled to be changed. Judgment (step 36 IWS 153). Specifically, with reference to the change timing stored in step 36IWS111, it is determined whether or not the display mode of the specific display at the timing TK (K: 1 to 8) is to be changed. If it is planned to change, the process proceeds to step 36IWS159.

If the effect control CPU 120 does not plan to change the display mode of the specific display at the timing TK (K: 1 to 8), the display mode of the specific display has already changed to red at the timing TK (K: 1 to 8). It is determined whether or not the timing is after the above (step 36IWS154). Specifically, referring to the change timing stored in step 36IWS111, when the timing TK (K: 1 to 8) is later than the second change timing, the display mode of the specific display is already red. It is determined that the timing is after the change. If it is the timing after the display mode of the specific display has already changed to red, the process proceeds to step 36IWS161.

When the timing TK (K: 1 to 8) is not the timing after the display mode of the specific display has already changed to red, the effect control CPU 120 draws an action failure effect execution lottery for determining whether or not to execute the action failure effect. (Step 36 IWS 155). Specifically, using the action failure effect execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-7 (A), it is determined whether or not the action failure effect is executed.

FIG. 8-4 (A) is an explanatory diagram showing a change suggestion effect execution lottery table. In the change suggestion effect execution lottery table shown in FIG. 8-4 (A), determination values for whether or not the action failure effect is executed are assigned to each timing TK (K: 1 to 8).

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the action failure effect is executed at a rate of 60%, and the action failure effect is not executed at a rate of 40%. decide. Further, for example, when the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the action failure effect is executed at a rate of 30%, and the action failure effect is not executed at a rate of 70%. To determine.

In this way, the action failure effect in which the hold display is the execution target is executed at a higher rate than the action failure effect in which the active display is the execution target.

When the effect control CPU 120 determines not to execute the action failure effect, the process proceeds to step 36IWS161. Further, when it is decided to execute the action failure effect, an action effect mode determination lottery for determining the effect mode of the action effect is performed (step 36IWS159). Specifically, the effect mode of the action effect is determined using the action effect mode determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-7 (B) to (D).

8-7 (B) to 8-7 (E) are explanatory views showing an action effect mode determination lottery table. In the action effect mode determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-7 (B) to (E), the action effect effect mode (blue suggestion mode, red suggestion mode, non-suggestion mode) is used for each timing TK (K: 1 to 8). Judgment value for is assigned.

FIG. 8-7 (B) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes from white to blue after the action effect is executed.

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the blue suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 40%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined as an effect mode at a rate of 60%. .. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the blue suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 70%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 30% as the effect mode of the action effect.

FIG. 8-7 (C) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes from white to red after the action effect is executed.

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the red suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 40%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 60% as the effect mode of the action effect. .. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the red suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 70%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 30% as the effect mode of the action effect.

FIG. 8-7 (D) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes from blue to red after the action effect is executed.

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the non-suggestion mode is determined as the effect mode of the action effect at a rate of 100%. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the non-suggestion mode is determined as the staging mode of the action effect at a rate of 100%.

FIG. 8-7 (E) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect does not change (when it fails) after the action effect is executed.

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the non-suggestion mode is determined as the effect mode of the action effect at a rate of 100%. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the non-suggestion mode is determined as the staging mode of the action effect at a rate of 100%.

As described above, it was decided that the suggestion mode could be selected as the effect mode of the action success effect, while the suggestion mode was not selected as the effect mode of the action failure effect. In other words, when the action effect of the suggestion mode is executed, the rate at which the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes (100%) is higher than the rate at which it does not change (0%). did. As a result, it is possible to improve the expectation when the action effect of the suggestion mode is executed, and it is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, in this way, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as the hold display) and when the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), It was decided that the selection ratio of the effect mode of the action effect was different. As a result, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as the hold display) and when the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the effect is produced. The tendency can be changed and the interest can be improved.

Further, as described above, the non-suggested mode is determined at a higher rate than the suggested mode as the effect mode of the action success effect when the timings T1 to T3 are set (when the execution target is displayed as the hold display). On the other hand, when the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the suggestion mode is determined at a higher rate than the non-suggestion mode as the effect mode of the action success effect. did. As a result, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as the hold display) and when the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the effect is produced. The tendency can be changed and the interest can be improved. In particular, when the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the suggestion mode can be easily selected, so that the action effect of the suggestion mode can be emphasized.

Further, as described above, the period required for the execution of the action effect of the suggestion mode is longer than the period required for the execution of the action effect of the non-suggestion mode. When the action effect of the suggestion mode is frequently executed in a certain variation), the situation changes rapidly. For example, the action effect of the suggestion mode is performed at the start of the change, and the change ends when the action effect ends. As the next fluctuation is started, it becomes difficult for the player to grasp the situation, which may lead to a decrease in interest. Therefore, the condition under which the shortened variation (variation which is the variation pattern of Hpt12) can be selected (specifically, the execution target of the change suggestion effect is the hold display. That is, the change timing is the timings T1 to T3. In), the execution rate of the action effect of the suggestion mode is set to be lower than the execution rate of the action effect of the non-suggestion mode, thereby preventing the deterioration of the interest.

On the contrary, when the execution target of the suggestion suggestion effect is the active display, the action effect of the suggestion mode can be performed with a time margin, so that the execution ratio of the action effect of the suggestion mode is the non-suggestion mode. By configuring the action effect to be higher than the execution rate, it is intended to improve the interest by the action effect of the suggestion mode.

Further, as described above, the selection ratio of the effect mode of the action effect differs depending on whether the display mode of the specific display before the change is white or blue. As a result, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

After step 36IWS159, the staging control CPU 120 stores the determination result of step 36IWS158, determines whether or not the change timing determination index K is 8 (step 36IWS161), and if not, proceeds to step 36IWS151. ..

As described above, in the action effect mode setting process, the change timing (T1 to T1) relates to the effect mode of the action effect when the specific display is changed, whether or not the action failure effect is executed when the specific display is not changed, and the effect mode of the action failure effect. Although it was decided to determine each T8), the method for determining such information is not limited to this. For example, for each change timing (T1 to T8), a combination of the effect mode of the action effect when the specific display is changed, whether or not the action failure effect is executed when the specific display is not changed, and the effect mode of the action failure effect are predetermined. It may be determined by selecting one from a plurality of action effect patterns.

(Variable display start setting process)
FIG. 8-8 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 staging control CPU 120 first reads the variable pattern command from the variable pattern command storage area (step 36IWS201).

In step 36IWS202, the effect control CPU 120 displays a decorative symbol according to the variation pattern command read in step 36IWS201 and the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command). (Stop symbol) is determined (step 36IWS202). That is, by executing the process of step 36IWS202 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. The staging control CPU 120 stores data indicating the determined stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display result storage area. In step 36IWS202, 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 36 IWS202, for example, when the received display result designation command indicates a probability variation jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 determines a combination of decorative symbols in which the three symbols are the same odd-numbered symbols as the stop symbols. Further, for example, when the received display result specification command indicates a normal jackpot (non-probability variation jackpot), the effect control CPU 120 determines a combination of decorative symbols in which the three symbols are the same even-numbered symbols as the stop symbol. do.

If the received display result specification command indicates an error, a combination of decorative symbols other than the above is determined. However, if a reach effect is involved, the combination of decorative symbols with the two left and right symbols aligned is determined.

The staging 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 for the decorative symbol. decide. That is, the stop symbol is determined by selecting the data indicating the combination of the decorative symbols corresponding to the numerical value corresponding to the extracted random number.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute a notice effect (for example, a dialogue notice effect, a step-up notice effect, a mini character notice effect, a group notice effect) on the image display device 5 during the variable display of the decorative pattern. The advance notice effect setting process is executed (step 36IWS203).

After that, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the change suggestion effect flag is set (step 36IWS204). If it is not set, the process proceeds to step 36 IWS214. If it is set, the execution of the action effect of the change timing and the effect mode according to the stored contents is set (step 36 IWS205).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 resets the variation suggestion effect flag when the variation to be started is a variation (target variation) corresponding to the specific display of the execution target of the change suggestion effect (step 36IWS207).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 selects a process table according to the advance notice effect for which execution is determined, if the variation pattern and execution of the advance notice effect are determined (step 36IWS214). Then, the effect control CPU 120 starts the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table (step 36IWS215).

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 a collection of a plurality of combinations of process timer setting values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, and sound number data. 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, 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 symbol in the variation mode set in the display control execution data only for the time set in the process timer set value. Further, the process table is stored in the ROM 121 of the staging control board 12. In addition, the process table is prepared according to each fluctuation pattern.

In the process table used when executing the effect control for the fluctuation pattern accompanied by the reach effect, the left symbol is stopped and displayed when a predetermined time elapses from the start of the fluctuation, and the right symbol is stopped when the predetermined time elapses. Process data indicating that it is to be displayed is set. 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, as 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) is executed (step 36IWS216).

In this feature unit 003IW, the effect control CPU 120 controls the variation pattern command so that the decorative pattern is variably displayed according to the variation pattern corresponding to one-to-one. However, 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.

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 36IWS217). Then, the effect control CPU 120 updates the value of the effect process flag to “2” (step 36IWS218), and ends the variable display start setting process.

8-9 and 8-10 are explanatory views showing a display example of the image display unit 5 in the feature unit 36IW. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-9 (A) and 8-9 (B), in a state where three hold displays are displayed and the decorative pattern is variablely displayed, a new start prize is generated and four are displayed. When the hold display of the eyes is displayed and the character image is displayed, the change suggestion effect for executing the fourth hold display is started. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-9 (C) and 8-9 (D), the shift display of the hold display and the movement display of the character image are displayed based on the end of the executed fluctuation and the start of a new fluctuation. Will be done.

When the action effect of the blue suggestion mode is executed at the timing T1 after FIG. 8-9 (D), a character image having a blue ball is displayed as shown in FIGS. 8-9 (E) to (G). , The character acts on the third hold display. Since the display mode is changed whenever the blue suggestion effect is executed (see FIG. 8-7), the display mode of the applied hold display changes from white to blue.

8-10 (H) to 8-10 (K) show a display example in which the action effect of the non-suggested mode is executed at the timing T1 after FIG. 8-9 (D). 8-10 (H) to (J) are display examples when the display mode of the hold display of the execution target changes, and FIGS. 8-10 (H), (I), and (K) are execution targets. This is a display example when the display mode of the hold display of is not changed.

For example, when the display mode of the hold display of the execution target changes, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 (H) to (J), a character image having no item is displayed, and the character is the third hold display. The display mode of the applied hold display changes from white to blue.

For example, when the display mode of the hold display of the execution target does not change, as shown in FIGS. 8-10 (H), (I), and (K), a character having no item acts on the third hold display. However, the display mode of the applied hold display does not change from white.

As described above, according to the feature unit 36IW, it is a gaming machine that can perform variable display and can control an advantageous state (in this example, a big hit game state) that is advantageous to the player, and supports variable display. Specific display means (in this example, the part where steps 36IWS105 and S124 are executed in the effect control CPU 120) capable of displaying the specific display (hold display, active display in this example) and the action display for the specific display. After performing step 36IWS205 in the effect control CPU 120, step S172 is performed by the action effect executing means (in this example, the effect control CPU 120) capable of executing the action effect (in this example, the action effect) on which the (character image in this example) can act. A plurality of stages of display modes (this example) in which the degree of expectation for controlling the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect differs depending on the part to be executed and the action effect is executed. Then, the change means (in this example, the portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing step S172) that can be changed to any of white, blue, and red) is provided, and the action effect execution means is after the change. The action effect of the first pattern starting in the suggestion mode (in this example, the blue suggestion mode and the red suggestion mode) suggesting the display mode of the specific display, and the non-suggestion mode that does not suggest the display mode of the specific display after the change (in this example). In this example, it is determined that the action effect of the second pattern starting in the non-suggestive mode) can be executed.

The "action effect" may be any effect as long as "the action effect can act on the specific display", and the effect that the action display acts on the specific display (for example, shown in FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10). It is a concept that includes an action effect) and an effect that suggests that the action display acts on a specific display but does not act in the end. For example, an effect in which the character image moves to act on the specific display that is the execution target of the change suggestion effect, but the character image returns to the original position without reaching the position of the specific display can also be included in the effect effect. Is.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effect of directly acting by the character image touching the specific display is defined as the action effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by throwing some item (ball, arrow, etc.) and letting the item touch the specific display, or by making some item touch the specific display (striking with a hammer or cane), an effect that acts indirectly is produced. May be.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined that three types (white, blue, red) of specific display display modes are provided, but two or four or more types of specific display display modes are provided. It may be that.

Further, in the present embodiment, both the hold display and the active display are the execution targets of the action effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only the hold display may be the execution target of the action effect. However, only the active display may be the execution target of the action effect.

Further, in the present embodiment, the shape of the hold display and the shape of the active display are the same spherical shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the shape of the hold display may be spherical, while the shape of the active display may be star-shaped.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the action effect of the suggestion mode, the action effect using the ball of the same color as the color of the specific display after the change is performed, but the display mode of the specific display after the change is suggested. If it is a thing, it is not limited to this. For example, as the action effect of the suggestion mode, the action effect using the item with the color name of the display mode after the change (for example, the flag with "red") may be performed, or the action effect after the change may be performed. It is also possible to perform an action effect in which an action display (for example, a red character) of the same color as the color of the specific display acts.

Further, in the present embodiment, although the action effect of the suggestion mode and the action effect of the non-suggestion mode differ depending on whether or not the character has the ball, the operation itself of the character image is the same. The operation of the character image may also be different between the action effect of the suggestion mode and the action effect of the non-suggestion mode. For example, in the non-suggestion mode action effect, the character image touches the specific display, while in the suggestion mode action effect, the character image hits the specific display with an item that suggests the display mode of the specific display after the change. You may do it.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the display mode of the specific display, display modes (white, blue, red) having different reliability for controlling the jackpot game state are provided, but in the corresponding variation Display modes that suggest the content of the production (for example, display modes that include characters such as "SP Reach A" and "Battle Reach" that suggest the type of SP reach, and characters such as "NEXT" that suggest that pseudo-ream is performed. Display mode including) may be provided. In that case, as the action effect of the suggestion mode, the character image may act on the specific display of the item including the characters such as "SP reach A", "battle reach", and "NEXT".

Further, as described above, according to the feature portion 36IW, the changing means is higher when the action effect of the first pattern is executed than when the action effect of the second pattern is executed. The display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect is changed by the ratio (in this example, when the action effect of the non-suggestive mode is performed, the display mode of the specific display of the execution target is changed at a rate of less than 100%. It is changed (may or may not change), and when the action effect of the suggestion mode is performed, the display mode of the specific display of the execution target is changed at a rate of 100% (FIG. 8-7 (B)). (Refer to (E)))). As a result, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

Specifically, if it frequently occurs that the display mode of the specific display does not change even though the action effect of the first pattern starting with the suggestion mode suggesting the display mode of the specific display after the change is executed, the interest is reduced. There is a risk that it will lead to. Therefore, by changing the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect at a higher rate when the action effect of the first pattern is executed than when the action effect of the second pattern is executed. , This can be prevented.

When the action effect of the first pattern is executed (when the action effect of the suggestion mode is performed), the display mode of the specific display of the execution target is changed at a rate of 100%. The ratio may be less than 100% as long as the ratio is higher than when the action effect of the pattern is executed.

Further, as described above, according to the feature unit 36IW, the execution ratio of the action effect of the first pattern and the action effect of the second pattern is determined according to the display mode of the specific display when the action effect is started. Different (in this example, the ratio of the action effect of the suggestion mode or the non-suggestion mode is different depending on whether the display mode of the specific display before the change is white or blue (in this example). (See FIGS. 8-7 (B) to (D))). As a result, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

Specifically, the action effect of the first pattern starting with the suggestion mode suggesting the display mode of the specific display after the change, which targets the specific display of the display mode with high reliability for controlling to the advantageous state, is performed. If the display mode of the specific display does not change frequently even though it is executed, it may lead to a decrease in interest. Therefore, as an action effect for executing a specific display of a display mode having high reliability for controlling to an advantageous state, the action effect of the second pattern is configured to be more easily executed than the action effect of the first pattern. Thereby, this can be prevented.

Further, according to the feature unit 36IW, as the specific display, the specific display means corresponds to the hold display (hold display in this example) corresponding to the variable display that has not been started yet and the variable display during execution. The display (active display in this example) can be displayed, and the action effect executing means has different proportions of the first pattern or the second pattern depending on whether the execution target is the hold display or the corresponding display. The action effect is executed (in this example, the rate at which the suggested mode is selected and the rate at which the non-suggested mode is selected as the effect mode of the action effect depending on whether the execution target is the hold display or the active display. (See FIGS. 8-7 (B) to (E)). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by making the effect tendency different depending on whether the execution target of the action effect is the hold display or the corresponding display.

Further, according to the feature unit 36IW, the action effect execution means can move and display the action display in response to the specific display that is the execution target of the action effect (in this example, the effect control CPU 120 is the step 36IWS126. To execute). As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize which specific display is the execution target of the action effect.

In the present embodiment, the character image is continuously displayed from the start to the end of the execution of the change suggestion effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even during the execution of the change suggestion effect, the character image is normally hidden, and the character image may be displayed only during the period before and after the action effect is executed. In that case, it is possible to prevent the effect of other effects performed when the action effect is not executed from being reduced. Further, with such a configuration, it is possible to expect the player to execute the action effect only by displaying the character image, and it is possible to improve the interest. In that case, a pattern for displaying the hidden character image and executing the action effect and a pattern for displaying the hidden character image but not performing the action effect (gase pattern) may be provided.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is decided to determine the change scenario including the change pattern and the change timing of the specific display when the start winning is generated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a start prize is generated, the final display mode of the specific display is determined, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the display mode is changed at the start of each fluctuation, and the specific display is displayed based on the lottery result. The mode may be changed. In that case, whether or not the action effect is executed and the effect mode are also determined at the start of each variation.

In addition, it was decided that the display mode of the specific display of the execution target always changes when the action effect of the suggestion mode is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution target is also executed when the action effect of the suggestion mode is executed. It may be possible that the display mode of the specific display of is not changed. Specifically, it will be described with reference to the following modification 1. The description of the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment will be omitted.

In the first modification, the effect control CPU 120 replaces the action effect mode determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-7 (B) to 8-11 (D) in FIG. 8-11 (step 36IWS159). Using the action effect mode determination lottery table shown in A) to (E), the effect effect mode is determined.

8-11 (A) to 8-11 (E) are explanatory views showing an action effect mode determination lottery table in the first modification. In the action effect mode determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-11 (A) to (E), the action effect effect mode (blue suggestion mode, red suggestion mode, non-suggestion mode) is shown for each timing TK (K: 1 to 8). Judgment value for is assigned.

FIG. 8-11 (A) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes from white to blue after the action effect is executed.

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the blue suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 40%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined as an effect mode at a rate of 60%. .. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the blue suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 70%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 30% as the effect mode of the action effect.

FIG. 8-11 (B) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes from white to red after the action effect is executed.

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the red suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 30%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 70% as the effect mode of the action effect. .. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the red suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 70%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 30% as the effect mode of the action effect.

FIG. 8-11 (C) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect changes from blue to red after the action effect is executed.

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the red suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 40%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 60% as the effect mode of the action effect. .. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the red suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 60%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 40% as the effect mode of the action effect.

FIG. 8-11 (D) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect does not change from white (when it fails from white) after the action effect is executed. ..

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the blue suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 20%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 80% as the effect mode of the action effect. .. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the blue suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 30%, and the non-suggestion mode is determined at a rate of 70% as the effect mode of the action effect.

FIG. 8-11 (E) is an action effect mode determination lottery table used when the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect does not change from blue (when it fails from blue) after the action effect is executed. ..

For example, when the timings are T1 to T3 (when the execution target is displayed as a hold display), the non-suggestion mode is determined as the effect mode of the action effect at a rate of 100%. When the timings are T4 to T8 (when the execution target is displayed as the active display), the non-suggestion mode is determined as the staging mode of the action effect at a rate of 100%.

As described above, the blue suggestion mode can be selected as the effect mode of the action failure effect, but the red suggestion mode is not selected. In other words, when the action effect of the blue suggestion mode is executed, the display mode of the specific display of the execution target may or may not change, while the action effect of the red suggestion mode is executed. Is configured so that the display mode of the specific display of the execution target always changes. As a result, it is possible to draw attention to the production mode of the action production, and it is possible to improve the interest.

8-12 and 8-13 are explanatory views showing a display example of the image display unit 5 in the modification 1.

After FIG. 8-9 (D), a display example in the case of executing the action effect of the blue suggestion mode at the timing T1 is shown in FIGS. 8-12 (L) to (O). 8-12 (L) to (N) are display examples when the display mode of the hold display of the execution target changes, and FIGS. 8-12 (L), (M), and (O) are execution targets. This is a display example when the display mode of the hold display of is not changed.

For example, when the display mode of the hold display of the execution target changes, a character image having a blue ball is displayed as shown in FIGS. 8-13 (L) to (N), and the character is held for the third time. It acts on the display, and the display mode of the applied pending display changes from white to blue.

For example, when the display mode of the hold display of the execution target does not change, a character image having a blue ball is displayed as shown in FIGS. 8-12 (L), (M), and (O), and the character is 3 It acts on the first hold display, but the display mode of the applied hold display does not change from white.

After FIG. 8-9 (D), when the action effect of the red suggestion mode is executed at the timing T1, a character image having a red ball is displayed as shown in FIGS. 8-3 (P) to (R). , The character acts on the third hold display. Since the display mode is changed whenever the red suggestion effect is executed (see FIG. 8-11), the display mode of the applied hold display changes from white to red.

As described above, according to the modified example 1, the action effect executing means is a display mode of a stage less than a specific stage as a display mode of the specific display after the change as the action effect of the first pattern (in this example). , Blue) suggestion mode (in this example, blue suggestion mode), the action effect of the first predetermined pattern, and the display mode of the specific display after the change is the display mode of the specific stage or higher (this example). Then, it is possible to execute the action effect of the first specific pattern starting in the suggestion mode (in this example, the red suggestion mode) suggesting (red), and when changing the display mode of the specific display, the first predetermined While either the action effect of the pattern or the action effect of the first specific pattern can be executed, the action effect of the first predetermined pattern is not executed when the display mode of the specific display is not changed, and the first The action effect of the specific pattern is feasible (in this example, when it is determined to change the display mode of the specific display after the action effect is executed, either the blue suggestion mode or the red suggestion mode is performed. While the action effect of the aspect is also feasible (FIGS. 8-11 (B), (C)), when it is determined that the display mode of the specific display is not changed after the action effect is executed, the blue suggestion mode Although the action effect of is feasible, the action effect of the red suggestion mode is not executed (FIGS. 8-11 (D), (E)). As a result, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

Further, according to the first modification, the action effect of the first pattern is executed, and the display mode of the specific display, which is the execution target of the action effect, is controlled to an advantageous state. The first success pattern to be changed (in this example, a pattern in which the action effect of the suggestion mode is performed and the display mode of the specific display changes after the action effect) and the action effect of the first pattern are executed, and the action effect is changed. The first failure pattern that does not change the display mode of the specific display that is the execution target (in this example, the pattern in which the action effect of the blue suggestion mode is performed in the modification 1 and the display mode of the specific display does not change after the action effect). And, the action effect of the second pattern is executed, and the second success pattern (in this example, the action effect of the non-suggestion mode is performed) in which the display mode of the specific display which is the execution target of the action effect is changed to the high expectation mode. A pattern in which the display mode of the specific display changes after the action effect) and a second failure pattern (book) in which the action effect of the second pattern is executed and the display mode of the specific display that is the execution target of the action effect is not changed. In the example, it is possible to control one of the patterns (a pattern in which the display mode of the specific display does not change after the action effect is performed by performing the action effect of the non-suggestion mode), and the execution target of the action effect is the hold display. It is possible to control the first success pattern, the first failure pattern, the second success pattern, or the second failure pattern at different ratios depending on whether there is a case or a corresponding display (in this example, the execution target is The rate at which the display mode of the specific display changes after the execution of the action effect differs between the case of the hold display and the case of the active display (see FIG. 8-7 (A)), and the suggested mode as the effect mode of the action effect. The rate at which is selected and the rate at which the non-suggested mode is selected are different (see FIGS. 8-11 (B) to (E)). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by making the effect tendency including the presence or absence of a change in the specific display different between the case where the execution target of the action effect is the hold display and the case where the corresponding display is the corresponding display.

As described above, the "action effect" may be any as long as the "action effect can act on the specific display", and the effect display acts on the specific display and the action display becomes the specific display. Since the concept includes an effect that is suggested to work but does not work in the end, each failure pattern (first failure pattern, second failure pattern) specifies the execution target of the action display acting on the specific display. It includes a pattern in which the display mode of the display does not change, and a pattern in which the display mode of the specific display of the execution target does not change after all, although it is suggested that the action display acts on the specific display.

Further, according to this modification 1, when the execution target of the action effect is the hold display, the control of the second success pattern can be executed at a higher rate than the first success pattern (in this example, the execution target is When it is a hold display and it is determined that the display mode of the hold display changes after the execution of the action effect, the non-suggestion mode is determined at a higher rate than the suggestion mode as the effect mode of the action effect (FIG. 8). -11 (see (A) to (C))), when the execution target of the action effect is the corresponding display, the control of the first success pattern can be executed at a higher rate than the second success pattern (in this example, When the execution target is the active display and it is determined that the display mode of the active display changes after the action effect is executed, the suggestion mode is determined at a higher rate than the non-suggestion mode as the effect mode of the action effect. (See FIGS. 8-11 (A) to (C))). As a result, the ratio of the success pattern differs depending on whether the execution target of the action effect is the hold display or the corresponding display, and the ratio of the first success pattern is particularly high when the execution target is the corresponding display. The first success pattern can be highlighted.

Further, according to this modification 1, it is possible to control the second failure pattern at a higher rate when the execution target of the action effect is the hold display than when it is the corresponding display (in this example, it is possible to control the second failure pattern. When the execution target is the hold display, the action failure effect is executed at a higher rate than when the execution target is the active display (see FIG. 8-7 (A)), and the execution target is the hold display. When it is determined that the display mode of the hold display does not change after the action effect is executed, it is determined that the execution target is the active display and the display mode of the active display does not change after the action effect is executed. It was decided to execute the action effect of the non-suggestive mode at a higher rate than in the case (see FIGS. 8-11 (D) and (E)). As a result, when the execution target of the action effect is the hold display, the change of the corresponding display can be agitated, and when the execution target of the action effect is the corresponding display, the failure pattern can be less likely to occur.

In addition, when a pattern is provided in which the display mode of the specific display of the execution target does not change after the action effect of the suggestion mode is executed, a plurality of devices having different reliabilitys for changing the display mode of the specific display of the execution target. The effect mode of the above may be provided as an effect mode of the action effect of the suggestion mode. For example, rather than the action effect of throwing a blue ball according to the display mode of the specific display after the change, a mode of throwing a blue star according to the display mode of the specific display after the change to the specific display. It may be said that the action effect of is more reliable in changing the display mode of the specific display of the execution target. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest.

Further, as the display mode of the action display used for the action effect, a plurality of types of display modes may be provided. Specifically, it will be described with reference to the following modification 2. The description of the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment will be omitted.

In the second modification, as shown in FIG. 8-14, the effect control CPU 120 determines the action effect determined in the action effect mode determination lottery after the action effect mode determination lottery (step 36IWS159) in the action effect mode setting process. A character size determination process for determining the display size (character size) of the character image is performed based on the effect mode (step 36IWS170).

In the character size determination process (step 36IWS170), specifically, it is determined whether or not to execute the action effect at the timing Tn (n = 1), and if it is executed, the character size is based on the effect mode of the action effect. Is determined, n is added by 1, and if not executed, the process of adding 1 to n is repeated until n becomes 8. When determining the character size, the character size is determined by performing a lottery using the character size determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-15 (A) to 8-15 (C).

At that time, it is used depending on whether or not a large size has already been determined as the character size of the action effect before the corresponding action effect, and whether the corresponding action effect is an action success effect or an action failure effect. The character size determination lottery table to be used is different. For example, when a large size has not already been determined as the character size of the action effect prior to the corresponding action effect and the corresponding action effect is the action success effect, the character size determination shown in FIG. 8-15 (A) is determined. The character size is determined using the lottery table. Further, for example, when a large size has not already been determined as the character size of the action effect before the corresponding action effect and the corresponding action effect is the action failure effect, the character shown in FIG. 8-15 (B). The character size is determined using the size determination lottery table. Further, for example, when a large size has already been determined as the character size of the action effect prior to the corresponding action effect, the character size is determined using the character size determination lottery table shown in FIG. 8-15 (C). ..

8-15 (A) to 8-15 (C) are explanatory views showing a character size determination lottery table in the second modification. In the character size determination lottery table shown in FIGS. 8-15 (A) to 8-15, judgment values for the character size (large size, small size) are assigned to each effect mode (suggested mode, non-suggested mode) of the action effect. ing.

In FIG. 8-15 (A), a large size has not already been determined as the character size of the action effect prior to the corresponding action effect, and the character size determination used when the corresponding action effect is the action success effect. It is explanatory drawing which shows the lottery table.

For example, when the effect mode of the action effect is the suggestion mode, the large size is determined as the character size at a rate of 70%, and the small size is determined as the character size at a rate of 30%. When the effect mode of the action effect is the non-suggestion mode, the large size is determined as the character size at a rate of 60%, and the small size is determined as the character size at a rate of 40%.

In FIG. 8-15 (B), a large size has not already been determined as the character size of the action effect prior to the corresponding action effect, and the character size determination used when the corresponding action effect is the action failure effect. It is explanatory drawing which shows the lottery table.

For example, when the effect mode of the action effect is the suggestive mode, the large size is determined as the character size at a rate of 40%, and the small size is determined as the character size at a rate of 60%. When the effect mode of the action effect is the non-suggestion mode, the large size is determined as the character size at a rate of 30%, and the small size is determined as the character size at a rate of 70%.

FIG. 8-15 (C) is an explanatory diagram showing a character size determination lottery table used when a large size has already been determined as the character size of the action effect prior to the corresponding action effect.

For example, the large size is determined as the character size at a rate of 100% regardless of the effect mode of the action effect.

In this way, the large size is easier to select than the small size as the character size in the action success effect, while the small size is easier to select than the large size as the character size in the action failure effect. ing. As a result, when the action effect of displaying a large-sized character is executed, the display mode of the specific display of the execution target is likely to change, so that the character size can be focused on and the interest is improved. be able to.

In addition, it is easier to select a large size in the case where the effect mode of the action effect is the suggestive mode than in the case where the effect mode is the non-suggestive mode. As a result, the character size can be associated with the staging mode of the action staging, and the interest can be improved.

Further, the small size is not selected as the character size of the action effect to be performed after the action effect for displaying the large size character is executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged by executing the action effect of displaying the small size character after the action effect of displaying the large size character.

As described above, according to the modification 2, the action staging execution means uses the action display of any of a plurality of types of action display display modes (large size and small size in this example). The action effect of the first pattern or the second pattern is executed at a different ratio depending on whether the action effect is executed (in this example, whether the effect mode of the action effect to be executed is a suggestive mode or a non-suggestion mode). It was decided that the selection ratio of the character size was different according to the above (see FIGS. 8-15 (A) to (C)). As a result, it is possible to pay attention to the display mode of the action display and the pattern of the action effect.

The display mode of the action display is not limited to the size of the action display, and may be the color tone and shape of the action display, transparency, pattern, display position, operation speed, and the like.

Further, the number of types of display modes of the action display is not limited to two types (large size and small size), and may be three or more types.

Further, according to the second modification, the action effect executing means has a lower reliability for controlling the first aspect (large size in this example) and the advantageous state than the first aspect. It is possible to execute an action effect using the action display of a plurality of types including the mode (small size in this example), and the action effect using the action display of the first aspect in which one specific display is the execution target can be performed. After the execution, the action effect using the action display of the first aspect in which the one specific display is the execution target can be executed, while the action display of the second aspect in which the one specific display is the execution target can be executed. Do not execute the used action effect (In this example, after executing the action effect using the large size, the large character size can be selected, but the small character size is not selected (Fig. 8-15 (Fig. 8-15 (Fig. 8-15)). See C))). As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged by executing the action effect of the second aspect after the action effect of the first aspect is executed.

It should be noted that the action effect using a large-sized character may be feasible only during a predetermined period. For example, it may be possible to execute only during the period when the execution target of the action effect is the active display, or the execution target of the action effect is the active display and the timing during superreach (for example, change timing T7 or T8). It may be feasible only in.

Further, it may be possible to set any one of a plurality of setting values including a disadvantage setting value and an advantage setting value having a higher advantage for the player than the disadvantage setting value. Specifically, it will be described with reference to the following modification 3. The description of the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment will be omitted.

FIG. 8-16 shows the fluctuation pattern in the modified example 3. In the modified example 3, among the cases where the variable display result is "off", the variable display mode corresponds to the case where the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" and the case where the variable display mode is "reach", and the variable display is also performed. A plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the result is a "big hit". In addition, one variation pattern is prepared in advance in response to a case where the variable display result is a "small hit". The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "off" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern"). The variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "out of reach" and the variable display mode of the decorative symbol is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "out of reach variation pattern"). Further, the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the reach fluctuation pattern are included in the missed fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is “off”. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "big hit" is called a big hit fluctuation pattern. The fluctuation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" is called a small hit fluctuation pattern.

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

As shown in FIG. 8-16, regarding the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach is executed in the feature portion 36IW of the modified example 3, the super reach fluctuation patterns, super reach α and super reach β, It is set shorter than Super Reach γ and Super Reach δ. Further, regarding the special figure fluctuation time of the super reach fluctuation pattern in which the super reach reach effect such as super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ is executed in the feature portion 36 IW of the modification 3, the super reach δ , Super reach γ, super reach β, and super reach α, and the special figure fluctuation pattern is set longer in this order.

In the modified example 3, as described above, the variable display result is set to be "big hit" in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach. Therefore, the normal reach fluctuation pattern and super In the reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

However, in the modified example 3, as the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ, the revival effect of notifying that the variable display result is a big hit is executed after once notifying that the variable display result is out of order as the reach effect of the super reach γ. The fluctuation pattern (PB1-5 shown in FIG. 8-16) is provided. Therefore, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ that executes the revival effect is set to have a longer special figure fluctuation time than the normal fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ and a shorter special figure fluctuation time than the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ. However, it is an exceptionally high fluctuation pattern (100%) with the highest expectation of big hits.

In the modified example 3, as will be described later, these fluctuation patterns are determined first, such as a non-reach type, a normal reach type, a super reach type, and the like. Therefore, instead of determining the variation pattern to be executed from the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, it is determined using only the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random value for determining the variation pattern type is provided to determine these variation pattern types. The type of the variation pattern may be determined first from the random number value, and then the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from the variation patterns belonging to the variation pattern belonging to the determined type.

Further, in the modified example 3, as shown in FIGS. 8-16, a mode in which the variation content (effect content) is predetermined for each variation pattern is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, even if the fluctuation pattern is the same, the fluctuation content (effect content) may be different depending on the set value. For example, in the case of the fluctuation pattern PA2-1 that is out of normal reach, if the set value is 1, the fluctuation pattern is out of normal reach, and if the set value is 2, a pseudo-continuous effect is performed. When the set value of 3 is set as the fluctuation pattern that is executed twice and becomes non-reach out of reach, the pseudo-continuous effect may be executed three times to make the fluctuation pattern that is out of super reach.

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

The ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 stores various table data and the like used for controlling the progress of the game in addition to the game control program. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data that constitutes a plurality of determination tables shown in FIGS. 8-17 to 8-24, which are prepared for the CPU 103 to perform various determinations and determinations. Further, the ROM 101 contains table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used by the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main board 11, and a variation mode of each symbol in a variable display such as a special symbol or a normal symbol. A fluctuation pattern table or the like that stores a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns is stored.

The determination table stored in the ROM 101 includes, for example, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIGS. 8-17 and 8-18, and the second special figure display result determination shown in FIGS. 8-19 and 8-20.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of the modified example 3 has a configuration in which the winning probability (ball output rate) of the jackpot changes according to the set value. Specifically, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing described later, the jackpot winning probability (ball output rate) is changed by using the display result judgment table (winning probability) according to the set value. .. The set value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is. In other words, as for the set value, 6 which is the largest value is the most disadvantageous value for the amusement park side, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is the more advantageous value for the amusement park side. Become.

In the second special figure display result judgment table, among the hit judgment values compared with the random number value MR1 for special figure display result judgment, which is a numerical value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535, up to 1020 to 1346 are It is assigned to "big hit", 32767 to 33421 are assigned to "small hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing".

FIG. 8-20 (F) is the first special figure selected when the variable special figure is the first special figure, the set value is 6, and the gaming state is the probabilistic state (high probability high base state). This is a display result judgment table. In the first special figure display result judgment table, among the hit judgment values compared with the random number value MR1 for special figure display result judgment, which is a numerical value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535, up to 1020 to 1674 are It is assigned to "big hit", 32767 to 33421 are assigned to "small hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing".

As described above, in each display result judgment table, when the game state is in the probability change state (high probability state), more judgment values than in the normal state or the time saving state are the special figures of "big hit". It is assigned to the display result. As a result, in the probabilistic state in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 performs probabilistic change control, the probability that it is determined to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" in the big hit game state in the normal state or the time saving state (in the modified example 3). , 1/300 when the set value is 1, 1/280 when the set value is 2, 1/260 when the set value is 3, 1/240 when the set value is 4, and 5 when the set value is 4. Compared to 1/220 in the case and 1/200 in the case of the set value of 6), the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "big hit" to the big hit gaming state is higher (in the modified example 3, the setting). When the value is 1, 1/200, when the set value is 2, 1/180, when the set value is 3, 1/160, when the set value is 4, 1/140, when the set value is 5, 1/120, 1/100 when the set value is 6). That is, in each display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probabilistic state, the probability of being determined to control the jackpot gaming state is higher than in the normal state or the time saving state. , The determination value is assigned to the determination result of whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state.

In the modified example 3, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 to 8-20, the multiplication factor of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state and the time saving state is different depending on each set value (for example, setting). If the value is 1, the multiplication factor of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is 1.5 times, and if the setting value is 2, the jackpot probability in the probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is The magnification is about 1.56 times, and if the set value is 3, the magnification of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time saving state is 1.625 times). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the multiplication factor of the jackpot probability in the probability variation state to the jackpot probability in the normal state and the time saving state at each set value is set to be constant (for example, 5 times). May be good.

Further, in each of the first special figure display result determination tables, the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is the same regardless of the game state or the set value. Judgment values are assigned as follows. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-17 and 8-18, in the first special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is set as a "small hit" regardless of the game state or the set value. The probability of being determined to control the small hit game state is set to 1/200.

On the other hand, in each display result determination table for the second special figure, the probability of being determined to control the special figure display result as a "small hit" to the small hit game state is the first special regardless of the game state or the set value. Judgment values are assigned so that the values are the same as those in the display result judgment table for figures. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-19 and 8-20, in the display result determination table for the second special figure, the special figure display result is set as a "small hit" regardless of the game state or the set value. The probability of being determined to control the small hit game state is set to 1/100.

In the third modification, the probability of being determined to control the small hit game state with the special figure display result as "small hit" is the same regardless of the set value, but the present invention illustrates this. The probability of being determined to control the small hit game state with the special figure display result as "small hit" may be different depending on the set value. Further, the modified example 3 exemplifies a mode in which the probability of being determined to control the small hit gaming state by setting the special figure display result as a "small hit" according to the variable special map is different, but the present invention is limited to this. Regardless of the variable special map, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the small hit game state as "small hit" may be the same probability.

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

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

That is, in the modification 3, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the hit determination can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the values, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, it is not common to the common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. Numerical values within the range including the numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

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

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

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

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

That is, in the modification example 3, in the display result determination table for the first special figure when the game state is the probability variation state, among the hit determination values that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1. , Only the numerical values in the common numerical range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to "big hit", but when the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is assigned to the common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. Numerical values within the added range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1347 as the value of the set value increases.

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

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

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

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

That is, in the modification 3, in the display result determination table for the second special figure when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the hit determination can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535. Of the values, only the values within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "big hit", while when the set value is 2 or more, it is not common to the common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. Numerical values within the range including the numerical range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1238 as the value of the set value increases.

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

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

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

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

That is, in the modification 3, in the display result determination table for FIG. 2 when the game state is the probability variation state, among the hit determination values that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535 when the set value is 1. While only the numerical values in the common numerical range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to "big hit", when the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range among the big hit judgment values. Numerical values within the above range are assigned to "big hits". Further, the non-common numerical range increases with reference to 1347 as the value of the set value increases.

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

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

As described above, in the modified example 3, in each display result determination table, regardless of the game state and the set value, a continuous 1 consisting of a common numerical range or a common numerical range and a non-common numerical range with the hit determination value of 1020 as a reference. The judgment value included in the numerical range of is set as the numerical range of the jackpot judgment value, and regardless of the game state and the set value, it is within the continuous numerical range of 1 (common numerical range) based on the hit judgment value 32767. The variable display result is judged by using the included judgment value as a numerical range of the small hit judgment value.

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

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

That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table corresponding to the set value set at that time, and when the value of MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the jackpot, the CPU 103 hits the jackpot (big hit) with respect to the special symbol. It is decided to be A to jackpot C). Further, when MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hit, it is determined that the special symbol is a small hit. That is, the winning of the big hit and the small hit is decided with the probability according to the set value. The "probability" shown in FIGS. 8-17 to 8-20 indicates the probability of a big hit (ratio) and the probability of a small hit (ratio). Further, determining whether or not to make a big hit means determining whether or not to control the big hit game state, but the stop symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B is determined. It also means deciding whether or not to make a big hit design. Further, determining whether or not to make a small hit means determining whether or not to control the small hit game state, but the stop in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B It also means deciding whether or not to make the symbol a small hit symbol.

In the third modification, a total of six set values, 1 to 6, are provided as set values that can be set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 is not limited to this. The set value that can be set to is 5 or less or 7 or more.

8-21 (A) and 8-21 (B) are explanatory views showing a jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol) and a jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol) stored in the ROM 101. Is. Of these, FIG. 8-21 (A) determines the jackpot type using the hold memory based on the game ball winning the first start winning opening (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed). It is a table when you do. Further, FIG. 8-21 (B) determines the jackpot type using the hold memory based on the game ball winning the second start winning opening (that is, when the second special symbol is variably displayed). It is a table of cases.

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

Here, the jackpot type in the modified example 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-22. In the modified example 3, the jackpot types are jackpot A (also referred to as non-probability variable jackpot) in which only the time saving control is executed after the end of the jackpot game state and the state shifts to the low accuracy high base state, and high accuracy after the end of the jackpot game. A jackpot B and a jackpot C (also referred to as a probability variation jackpot) are set, in which control and time saving control are executed to shift to a high-accuracy high-base state.

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

The time saving control executed after the end of the big hit game state by the "big hit A" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the modified example 3), or the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times. It ends when it becomes a big hit game state before it is played.

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

In the modified example 3, three types of jackpots A to C are provided as jackpot types, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot types are two or less or four. More than one type may be provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (A), in the jackpot type determination table (for the first special symbol), 0 to 99 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 is assigned to the jackpot A. 100 to 249 are assigned to jackpot B, and 250 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-21 (B), in the jackpot type determination table (for the second special symbol), 0 to 99 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 is assigned to jackpot A. 100 to 199 are assigned to jackpot B, and 200 to 299 are assigned to jackpot C. That is, in the modified example 3, the determination ratio of the jackpot type differs depending on whether the winning opening in which the game ball has won is the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening, while the pachinko gaming machine 1 Regardless of the set value set in, the jackpot type is determined at a common rate.

In the modified example 3, the jackpot type is determined by using MR2 which is a random value for determining the jackpot type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot type is determined by the special figure display result. It may be determined using MR1 which is a random value for.

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

Specifically, as the fluctuation pattern judgment table, the fluctuation pattern judgment table for big hits used when it is predetermined to set the variable display result to "big hit" and the variable display result to be "small hit". A fluctuation pattern judgment table for big hits used when it is pre-determined, and a fluctuation pattern judgment table for misses used when it is pre-determined to make the variable display result "off" are prepared in advance. ing.

In the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table, the fluctuation pattern of the normal reach jackpot (PB1-1), the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α jackpot (PB1-2), the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β jackpot (PB1-3), and the revival effect are executed.

It is assigned, and 401 to 650 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ jackpot (PB1-4) that does not execute the resurrection effect, and 651 to 700 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ jackpot that executes the resurrection effect. It is assigned to (PB1-5), and 701 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PB1-6) of the super reach δ jackpot.

Further, in the modification 3, regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the fluctuation pattern for the jackpot is determined by using the fluctuation pattern determination table of 1, that is, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set. Although the embodiment in which the determination rate of the fluctuation pattern is the same when the variable display result is a big hit regardless of the set value is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 The determination ratio of each fluctuation pattern may be different for each set value set in.

Further, in the small hit variation pattern determination table, a predetermined random number value within the range that the random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern can take is the determination value for the variation pattern of the small hit variation pattern (PC1-1). Is assigned as. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (B), in the variation pattern determination table for small hits, the variation pattern of small hits from 0 to 997 in the range 0 to 997 of the determination value of MR3 ( It is assigned to PC1-1). Although only PC1-1 is provided as the variation pattern of the small hit in the modified example 3, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more variation patterns are provided as the variation pattern of the small hit. You may.

Further, the deviation pattern determination table includes the deviation pattern determination table A used when the number of reserved storages is 1 or less in the low base state in which the game state is not subjected to the time reduction control, and the low base. The deviation pattern determination table B used when the total number of reserved storages is 2 to 4 in the state, and the deviation variation used when the total number of reserved storages is 5 to 8 in the low base state. A pattern determination table C and a variation pattern determination table D for deviation used when the game state is a high base state in which time reduction control is performed are prepared in advance.

In the deviation pattern determination table A, the non-reach deviation variation pattern without shortening (PA1-1), the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), the super reach α deviation variation pattern (PA2-2), and the super Random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern is taken for the fluctuation pattern of reach β off (PA2-3), the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ off (PA2-4), and the fluctuation pattern of super reach δ off (PA2-5). A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value in the possible range.

As shown in FIG. 8-24 (A), in the deviation pattern determination table A (for low-base medium total hold storage number of 1 or less), 1 to 450 of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3. Are assigned to the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-1), 451 to 700 are assigned to the normal reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA2-1), and 701 to 850 are out of super reach α. It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-2), and 851 to 930 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) out of super reach β, and 931 to 970 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2) out of super reach γ. -4) is assigned, and 971 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-5) out of super reach δ.

As shown in FIG. 8-24 (B), in the deviation pattern determination table B (for low-base medium total reserved storage number 2 to 4), 1 to 997 of the determination value range 1 to 997 of MR3. Up to 500 are assigned to the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-2), 501 to 700 are assigned to the normal reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA2-1), and 701 to 850 are out of super reach α. Is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-2), 851 to 930 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) out of super reach β, and 931 to 970 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) out of super reach γ. It is assigned to PA2-4), and 971 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-5) out of super reach δ.

Further, in the deviation pattern determination table C, the shortened non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-3), the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super Fluctuation pattern of reach α off (PA2-2), fluctuation pattern of super reach β off (PA2-3), fluctuation pattern of super reach γ off (PA2-4), fluctuation pattern of super reach δ off (PS2-5) On the other hand, a predetermined random value within the range that the random value MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern can take is assigned as the determination value.

As shown in FIG. 8-24 (C), in the deviation pattern determination table C (for low-base medium total hold storage number of 5 or more), 1 to 550 out of the range of MR3 determination values 1 to 997. Are assigned to the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA1-3), 551 to 700 are assigned to the normal reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern (PA2-1), and 701 to 850 are out of super reach α. It is assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-2), and 851 to 930 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-3) out of super reach β, and 931 to 970 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2) out of super reach γ. -4) is assigned, and 971 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-5) out of super reach δ.

Further, in the deviation pattern determination table D, the shortening non-reach deviation variation pattern (PA1-4), the normal reach deviation variation pattern (PA2-1), and the super reach α deviation variation pattern corresponding to the time reduction control are performed. (PA2-2), fluctuation pattern of super reach β out of alignment (PA2-3), fluctuation pattern of super reach γ out of alignment (PA2-4), fluctuation pattern of super reach δ out of alignment (PA2-5) A predetermined random number value is assigned as a determination value in the range that the MR3 can take.

As shown in FIG. 8-24 (D), in the deviation pattern determination table D (for high base and medium), 1 to 550 of the determination value ranges 1 to 997 of MR3 are non-reach deviation variations. It is assigned to the pattern (PA1-4), and 551 to 700 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of normal reach loss (PA2-1), and 701 to 850 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of super reach α loss (PA2-2). 851 to 930 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of super reach β out of order (PA2-3), and 931 to 970 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern of out of super reach γ (PA2-4). Therefore, 971 to 997 are assigned to the fluctuation pattern (PA2-5) out of super reach δ.

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

In the modified example 3, as the deviation pattern, the determination ratios of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach α deviation, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β deviation, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation, and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach δ deviation are determined. Although the completely same form is illustrated between the set values, the present invention is not limited to this, and these super reach α out-of-order fluctuation patterns, super reach β out-of-order fluctuation patterns, and super reach γ The determination rate of the deviation pattern and the super reach δ deviation pattern may be different for each set value.

In the third modification, when the variable display result is out of alignment, the embodiment in which the determination ratio of the fluctuation pattern of the super reach is the same is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this and is variable. If the displayed result is out of alignment, the determination ratios of all the fluctuation patterns of non-reach, normal reach, and super reach may be the same, or only the determination ratio of any fluctuation pattern of non-reach and normal reach. May be the same.

The non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern (PA1-2) has a shorter variation time than the non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern (PA1-1) without shortening, and the non-reach variation pattern (PA1-2) is more non-reach. The deviation pattern (PA1-3) has a shorter fluctuation time (see FIG. 8-16). Therefore, when the number of reserved memories increases, the non-reach out-of-reach fluctuation pattern with a short fluctuation time is determined, so that the reserved memories are easily digested, and the number of reserved memories reaches the upper limit of 4. By winning a start prize while the player is in the game, it becomes difficult for a useless start prize to be stored, and when the number of stored memories decreases, the fluctuation time is long and the non-reach is out of reach. By determining the pattern (PA1-1), the variable display time becomes longer, so that it is possible to prevent the game from being less interesting due to the variable display not being executed.

Further, in the modified example 3, as shown in FIGS. 8-24 (A) to 8-24 (C), a variation pattern is determined using a variation pattern determination table for deviation, which differs depending on the total number of reserved storages. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of reserved storages in the special symbol to be changed (for example, when the variable display of the first special symbol is executed, the reserved storage of the first special symbol is executed. When the variable display of the number and the second special symbol is executed, the variation pattern may be determined using a variation pattern determination table for deviation, which differs depending on the number and the number of reserved storages of the second special symbol).

Further, in the modified example 3, a mode in which whether or not to execute the reach effect and which reach effect is executed for each determined fluctuation pattern has a one-to-one correspondence is illustrated, but the present invention illustrates this. It is not limited to the above, and a lottery is drawn as to whether or not the effect control CPU 120 executes the reach effect based on the special figure fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern, the variable display result, and the like, and which reach effect is to be executed. May be decided.

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

Such a RAM 102 is provided with a game control data holding area (not shown) as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The game control data holding area includes a first special figure holding storage unit, a second special figure holding storage unit, a normal drawing holding storage unit, a game control flag setting unit, a game control timer setting unit, and a game control counter. It has a setting unit and a game control buffer setting unit.

In the first special figure reservation storage unit, the game ball passes (enters) through the first start winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A, and a starting prize (first starting winning) is generated, but the special drawing has not been started yet. The reserved data of the game (the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A) is stored. As an example, the first special figure reservation storage unit associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the holding number with the first starting winning opening, and satisfies the first starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball. The random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result, the random number MR2 for determining the jackpot type, and the numerical data indicating the random number MR3 for determining the fluctuation pattern, which are extracted from the random number circuit 104 or the like by the CPU 103 based on the above, are reserved data. , Store until the number of stored items reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, "4"). The hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit in this way indicates that the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended, and the variable display result (special figure display result) in this special figure game. ) Will be the pending information that makes it possible to determine whether or not it will be a big hit.

In the second special figure reservation storage unit, the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, and a starting winning (second starting winning) is generated, but the special drawing has not been started yet. The reserved data of the figure game (the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B) is stored. As an example, the second special figure reservation storage unit associates the winning order (the order of detecting the game ball) with the holding number with the second starting winning opening, and satisfies the second starting condition in the passage (entry) of the game ball.

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

When the gaming state is the low accuracy high base state or the low accuracy low base state (36IWS344; N), the set value is 6, the variable display result is out of alignment, and the gaming state is the low accuracy high base. The presence / absence of execution of the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the state or the low probability low base state (36IWS346), and the processes of 36IWS308 to 36IWS310 are executed. In 36IWS346, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (E), the set value is 6, the variable display result is out of alignment, and the gaming state is the low probability high base state or the low probability low base state. Based on this, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 57%. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 at a rate of 10%, and pattern CI-3 at a rate of 3%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

Further, in the case of the fluctuation pattern of super reach δ (PS2-5 or PB1-6) in 36IWS302 (36IWS302; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (36IWS351). .. Whether or not the variable display result is a big hit may be determined by determining whether or not the fluctuation pattern is PB1-4, which is a super reach γ big hit.

When the variable display result is a big hit (36IWS351; Y), the big hit type is specified (36IWS352), and it is determined whether or not the big hit type is a big hit A or a big hit B (36IWS353).

When the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B (36IWS353; Y), whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the jackpot type being jackpot A or jackpot B (36IWS354), and 36IWS308. The processing of ~ 36IWS310 is executed. In 36IWS354, as shown in FIG. 8-29, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on the jackpot type being jackpot A or jackpot B. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 at a rate of 50%, and pattern CI-3 at a rate of 10%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

When the jackpot type is jackpot C (36IWS353; N), whether or not to execute the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the jackpot type being jackpot C (36IWS355), and the processes of 36IWS308 to 36IWS310 are determined. To execute. In 36IWS355, as shown in FIG. 8-29, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 10% based on the jackpot type being jackpot C. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 at a rate of 45%, and pattern CI-3 at a rate of 10%. The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

When the variable display result is out of alignment in 36IWS351 (36IWS351; N), the presence / absence of execution of the cut-in effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the outlier of the variable display result (36IWS356), and 36IWS308 to 36IWS310. Executes the processing of. In 36IWS356, as shown in FIGS. 8-29, the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined at a rate of 35% based on the fact that the variable display result is out of alignment. In addition, as the execution of the cut-in effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 at a rate of 10%, and pattern CI-3 at a rate of 25%. , The pattern CI-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

As described above, in the modified example 3, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 and 8-29, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ and the super reach δ, the cut-in effect is not executed. Is the lowest rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit (big hit expectation), and when the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-1, the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-2. When the effect is executed in pattern CI-3, the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit increases in the order in which the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-4 (cut-in). Expectation of big hit in production: Non-execution <Pattern CI-1 <Pattern CI-2 <Pattern CI-3 <Pattern CI-4).

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

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-28, 8-29, and 8-31, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ and the super reach δ, the cut-in effect is performed by the pattern CI-3. Regarding the execution rate, the lowest setting (0%) is made when the set value is any of 1 to 3 and the fluctuation pattern is out of super reach γ and out of super reach δ. Then, when the fluctuation pattern is a super reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, the fluctuation pattern does not execute the revival effect when the set value is any of 1 to 3--the set value when the per reach γ jackpot and the super reach δ jackpot are used. Is 4, and the fluctuation pattern is a super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, the set value is 5, and if the fluctuation pattern is a super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, the setting value is 6 and the fluctuation pattern. Is set so that the ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 increases in the order of the case where is a super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect.

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

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

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

Therefore, in the modified example 3, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the higher the frequency with which the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of alignment. Therefore, the player can be expected that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the gaming interest can be improved.

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

Therefore, in the modified example 3, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 in the variable display of the high accuracy and high base state, and the variable display result is out of order, so that the gaming state shifts to the low accuracy and low base state. Even after this, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set with any of 4 to 6 to encourage the player to continue the game, so that the gaming interest can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 (B) to 8-28 (E), paying attention to the case where the variable display result is out of alignment, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the higher the cut-in. The execution rate of the production is set high. That is, in this feature unit 36IW, it is suggested that the ratio itself at which the cut-in effect is executed when the variable display result is out of alignment is set to any of the set values of 4 to 6 in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, in addition to whether or not the cut-in effect is executed in the effect pattern with high expectation of big hits, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the cut-in effect is executed. It is possible to improve the game entertainment.

Further, the determination ratio of the effect pattern of the cut-in effect shown in FIGS. 8-28 and 8-29 is only an example, and the determination ratio of the effect pattern of the cut-in effect is determined according to the gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. It may be different from the feature portion 36IW as appropriate. However, when the determination ratios of the effect patterns of these cut-in effects are appropriately different, the tendency of the jackpot expectation of each effect pattern (big hit expectation in the cut-in effect: non-execution <pattern CI-1 <pattern CI-2). By maintaining <Pattern CI-3 <Pattern CI-4) itself, the player does not misunderstand the jackpot expectation according to the effect pattern of the cut-in effect when executing the cut-in effect. Is desirable.

Further, in the modified example 3, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 and 8-29, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is set when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ and the super reach δ. Although a mode in which the ratio of executing the cut-in effect during the variable display is different depending on the set value and the variable display result is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach γ and the super reach are not limited to this. When the variable display is executed with the fluctuation pattern of δ, the cut-in effect may be always executed during the variable display. In the case where the cut-in effect is always executed during the variable display of the super reach γ and the super reach δ, if the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, When the variable display result is out of alignment, the ratio assigned to non-execution of the cut-in effect (see FIGS. 8-28 (C) to 8-28 (E)) is the pattern CI-1 with a low expectation of a big hit or By assigning to both the pattern CI-1 and the pattern CI-2, the ratio at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 may be maintained so as not to be different from the feature unit 36IW. By doing so, the cut-in effect is excessively executed in the pattern CI-3 while improving the interest by executing the cut-in effect during the variable display of the super reach γ and the super reach δ. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from easily recognizing that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6.

FIG. 8-32 is a flowchart showing the advance notice effect determination process. The advance notice effect determination process is a process included in the advance notice effect setting process (step 36IWS203). In the advance notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (36IWS361). Then, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a small hit (36IWS362). When the variable display result is a small hit (36IWS362; Y), the advance notice effect determination process is terminated, and when the variable display result is a big hit or a miss (36IWS362; N), the execution of the cut-in effect is further determined. Whether or not, that is, whether or not any effect pattern of the cut-in effect is stored is determined (36IWS363).

When the execution of the cut-in effect is determined (36IWS363; Y), it is further determined whether or not the stored cut-in effect effect pattern is pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 (36IWS364). ). When the stored cut-in effect effect pattern is pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 (36IWS364; Y), the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4. , Whether or not the advance notice effect is executed and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified variable display result and the variation pattern (36IWS365).

On the other hand, when it is decided not to execute the cut-in effect (36IWS363; N) or when the stored effect pattern is the pattern CI-1 or CI-2 (36IWS364; N), the variable display result is It is determined whether or not it is a big hit (36IWS366). When the variable display result is a big hit (36IWS366; Y), the big hit type is specified (36IWS367), and whether or not the advance notice effect is executed and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified big hit type (36IWS368).

When the variable display result is out of alignment (36IWS366; N), the presence / absence of execution of the advance notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified variable display result and the variation pattern (36IWS369).

Specifically, in the processing of 36IWS365, as shown in FIG. 8-33 (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 15%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 55%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the fluctuation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 20%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

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

As described above, in the modified example 3, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of order, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4 to 4. It is any of 6 and the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ deviation (PA2-4).

As shown in FIG. 8-33 (C), the pattern YE-1 is an effect pattern for displaying the image of the character A together with the blue effect on the image display device 5, and the pattern YE-2 is the effect pattern on the image display device 5. The pattern YE-3 is an effect pattern for displaying the image of the character B together with the red effect, the pattern YE-3 is an effect pattern for displaying the image of the character C together with the golden effect on the image display device 5, and the pattern YE-4 is an image. This is an effect pattern for displaying a group image of characters A to C on the display device 5 together with a rainbow-colored effect.

Further, in the processing of 36IWS368, as shown in FIG. 8-33 (B), when the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B, the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 at a rate of 45%, and pattern YE-3 at a rate of 15%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. If the jackpot type is jackpot C, the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 40%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 15%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

Further, in the processing of 36IWS369, as shown in FIG. 8-33 (B), when the variable display result is out of alignment and the fluctuation pattern is super reach (out of super reach), 50% of the non-execution of the advance notice effect is performed. Determined by percentage. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 at a rate of 15%, and pattern YE-3 at a rate of 5%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is out of alignment and the fluctuation pattern is normal reach (out of normal reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 15%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 5%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. If the variable display result is out of reach and the variation pattern is non-reach (non-reach out of reach), the non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. Further, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 5%, pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 0%, and pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%. The pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

As described above, in the modification 3, the ratio (big hit expectation) at which the variable display result becomes the big hit is set to be the lowest when the notice effect is not executed during the variable display, and the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-1. If so, the variable display result will be a big hit in the order of the case where the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-2, the case where the notice effect is executed in YE-3, and the case where the notice effect is executed in YE-4. The ratio is set to be high (expected jackpot of notice effect: non-execution of advance notice effect <execution in pattern YE-1 <execution in pattern YE-2 <execution in pattern YE-3 <execution in pattern YE-4 ).

In particular, as shown in FIG. 8-33 (B), when the non-execution of the cut-in effect is determined or the cut-in effect is lower than the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, the pattern CI- When the execution in 1 or the pattern CI-2 is decided, the advance notice effect may be executed in the pattern YE-4 only when the jackpot type is the jackpot C. Therefore, in the modification 3, in addition to whether or not the advance notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-3, the player is also made to pay attention to whether or not the advance notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-4. Is possible.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-33 (A), as the effect pattern of the cut-in effect, the pattern CI-3, which has a higher expectation of a big hit than the pattern CI-1 and the pattern CI-2, or the variable display result is a big hit. When the pattern CI-4 that confirms that the jackpot type is jackpot C is determined, YE-3 or YE-4 is used as the effect pattern of the advance notice effect regardless of the variable display result or the fluctuation pattern. It is set so that it will not be executed. Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the cut-in effect can be executed only by the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2, so that the variable display result is a big hit, which is the start of the cut-in effect. It is prevented that the player recognizes the timing before the timing (the start timing of the advance notice effect). Further, when the variable display result is out of alignment, neither the advance notice effect nor the cut-in effect is executed in the effect pattern with high expectation of big hit, so that the player is excessively opposed to the variable display result being a big hit. It is prevented from expecting.

After executing any of the processes of 36IWS365, 36IWS368, and 36IWS369, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the execution of the advance notice effect is determined (36IWS370). When the execution of the advance notice effect is decided (36IWS370; Y), the effect pattern determined by any of the processes of 36IWS365, 36IWS368, and 36IWS369 is stored (36IWS371), and the advance notice effect start waiting timer is set to give a notice. The production determination process is completed (36IWS372). When it is determined not to execute the advance notice effect (36IWS370; N), the advance notice effect determination process is terminated without executing the processes of 36IWS371 and 36IWS372.

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

By making it possible to determine the execution of the cut-in effect and the advance notice effect in the variable display start setting process as described above, in the non-reach out-of-reach variation pattern, the advance notice effect is performed only in the pattern YE-1 during the variable display. It is feasible, and in the fluctuation pattern of the normal reach deviation, the advance notice effect can be executed with the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2 in the period before the reach during the variable display, and the super reach α is out of order. In the fluctuation pattern out of the super reach β, the advance notice effect can be executed in the patterns YE-1 to the pattern YE-3 in the period before the reach during the variable display. It should be noted that the cut-in effect cannot be executed in the period after the reach in the fluctuation pattern of the normal reach deviation, the super reach α deviation, and the super reach γ deviation.

Further, in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ off and the super reach δ off, the advance notice effect can be executed in the pattern YE-1 to the pattern YE-3 in the period before the reach, and the cut-in effect is in the period after the reach. Can be executed in patterns CI-1 to CI-3. However, when the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in the pattern CI-3, the advance notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2.

Further, in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect, the advance notice effect can be executed in the pattern YE-1 to the pattern YE-4 in the period before the reach, and the cut-in effect is performed in the period after the reach. Can be executed in patterns CI-1 to CI-4. However, when the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, the advance notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2.

As described above, in the modified example 3, as shown in FIGS. 8-28, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 1 to 3, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3. While it is confirmed that the variable display result will be a big hit, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, the cut-in effect is set to pattern CI-3. There is a case where the variable display result is out of order. That is, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of order, it is determined that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. , When the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the player can pay attention to whether the variable display result is a big hit or a miss, and the game interest can be improved. There is.

In addition, in the modified example 3, as shown in FIGS. 8-28, as a variation pattern in which the cut-in effect can be executed during the reach effect, the revival effect is executed after once notifying that the variable display result is out of order. The fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that notifies that the variable display result is a jackpot (the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, PB1-5) and the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect. (PB1-4) is provided, and when the variable display is executed with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that executes the revival effect, the variable display is performed with the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot that does not execute the revival effect. The ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 is set lower than that in the case of executing. Therefore, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach γ and it is notified that the variable display is out of order, the player sets the set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Even if it recognizes that is any of 4 to 6, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is 4 to 6 by notifying that the revival effect is executed and the variable display is a big hit. It is possible to reduce the deterioration of the game interest due to an error in recognizing that it is one of the above.

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

Further, in the modified example 3, the embodiment in which the suggestion effect in the present invention is described as the reach effect is illustrated, but the invention is not limited to this, and the suggestion effect in the present invention is an effect that can be executed during the variable display. If this is the case, it may be an effect other than the reach effect, such as a pseudo-continuous effect in which a temporary stop of a decorative pattern and a revariable display are repeatedly executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 (C) to 8-28 (E), the fluctuation of the super reach γ deviation when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. When the variable display is executed in the pattern, when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is 6, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 is the highest, and the pachinko game When the set value set in the machine 1 is 4, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 is set to be the lowest. Therefore, the higher the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the higher the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is out of order, and the higher the set value is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since the player can be expected to be set, the game interest can be improved.

In the feature unit 36IW, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, when the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ out of line, the pachinko game Although the embodiment in which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 increases as the set value set in the machine 1 becomes higher, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern of the super reach γ out of line, it is set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Regardless of the set value set, the ratio at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 may be the same ratio. By doing so, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 in the variable display of the deviation of the super reach γ, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to be identified.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-16, which reach effect is to be executed and whether to execute the revival effect is determined in advance in association with each variation pattern, and is also determined in FIG. 8-23. As shown in (A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the CPU 103 determines the fluctuation pattern using the jackpot fluctuation pattern determination table of 1 regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the ratio of executing the revival effect during the variable display is the same regardless of the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1. For this reason, the execution rate of the resurrection effect during the variable display follows the set value that determines the rate at which the variable display result becomes a big hit, so the player should pay attention to whether or not the resurrection effect is executed during the variable display. Can be done, and the game entertainment can be improved.

In the third modification, whether or not to execute the reach effect and whether or not to execute the revival effect exemplifies a form in which the form is determined in advance in association with each variation pattern. Is not limited to this, and whether or not to execute the reach effect and whether or not to execute the revival effect is appropriately determined by the effect control CPU 120 based on the variable display result or the like after the CPU 103 determines the fluctuation pattern. You may decide.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-16 and 8-29, as the variation pattern in the modification 3, variation patterns (PA2-5 and PB1-6) for executing the reach effect of the super reach δ are provided. , When the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach δ, the variable display result is always a big hit, so that the variation of the super reach effect increases and the reach effect of the super reach δ is increased. Since the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the player can pay attention to whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit, the game interest can be improved.

In the third modification, a form in which a variation pattern (PA2-5 and PB1-6) for executing the reach effect of the super reach δ is provided has been illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the super reach δ is not limited to this. It is also possible not to provide a variation pattern for executing the reach effect of.

Further, in the modification 3, as the effects that can be executed during the variable display, a notice effect that can be executed during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach (or until the end timing of the variable display) and a notice effect that can be executed during the reach effect can be executed. There is a cut-in effect. Further, the advance notice effect can be executed by any of a plurality of effect patterns (patterns YE-1 to pattern YE-4) having different jackpot expectations. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-33, when the variable display result is a big hit and the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in the pattern CI-3 or the pattern CI-4, which is an effect pattern with a high expectation of a big hit. Determines the effect pattern from the effect patterns (pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2) excluding the pattern YE-3 and the pattern YE-4, which are highly expected to hit the jackpot, when executing the advance notice effect. It is possible to prevent the player from recognizing in advance that the variable display result will be a big hit by being executed by YE-3 or YE-4. Therefore, if it is decided to execute the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-4, whether or not the variable display result becomes a big hit by executing the advance notice effect in the pattern YE-1 or the pattern YE-2. It is possible to pay attention until the variable display of the crab is completed, and it is possible to improve the entertainment of the game.

Further, in the modification 3, the variable display result is a big hit by enabling the advance notice effect to be executed at a timing before the cut-in effect (during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach) during the variable display of 1. In this case, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the variable display result becomes a big hit from the timing before the cut-in effect is executed, and to prevent the deterioration of the game interest.

In the third modification, a mode in which the advance notice effect can be executed at a timing prior to the cut-in effect during the variable display of 1 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the advance notice effect is not limited to this. May be executed as a look-ahead effect during the variable display to be executed before the variable display to execute the cut-in effect. Further, the advance notice effect is executed during the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the reach effect, so that the variable display result is obtained in the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the reach effect. It may be possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the game is a big hit and prevent the game from being enjoyed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 and 8-29, when the variable display result is a big hit, the big hit type is always big hit C when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-4. On the other hand, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the jackpot type can be any of the jackpot A, jackpot B, and jackpot C, so the cut-in effect is changed to the pattern CI-4 during the variable display. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is executed. Further, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3, there is a possibility that the big hit type is the big hit A or the big hit B. Therefore, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result. In the case of a loss, it is possible to make the player think that even if it is a big hit, it may have been a big hit A or a big hit B. Can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-33, any of 4 to 6 is set as a set value in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (that is, the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is obtained. When the cut-in effect is decided to be executed in the pattern CI-3, which is an effect pattern with a high expectation of a big hit, when the advance notice effect is executed, the expectation of a big hit is high. Since the staging pattern is determined from the staging patterns (pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2) excluding the pattern YE-3 and the pattern YE-4, the advance notice staging is executed in the patterns YE-3 and YE-4. It is possible to prevent the player from recognizing in advance that the variable display result will be a big hit. Therefore, even though the variable display result does not become a big hit, the player against the fact that the variable display result becomes a big hit due to the execution of the pattern CI-3 and the patterns YE-3 and YE-4 during the same variable display. It is possible to prevent the expectation of the above from being excessively raised.

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

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-28, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) out of the super reach γ. In this case, if the set values are the same, the ratio of the cut-in effect being executed in the pattern CI-3 in the high-accuracy high-base state is the cut-in effect in the low-accuracy low-base state and the low-accuracy high-base state. It is set higher than the rate executed in pattern CI-3. Therefore, when the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state, the cut-in effect is produced in the variable display of the super reach γ out of line compared to the case where the gaming state is the low-accuracy low-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state. Since the ratio of execution in the pattern CI-3 is high, it becomes easy for the player to recognize that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 in the high accuracy and high base state. After the player recognizes that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6 by executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 in the high accuracy and high base state. Is able to improve the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 because it is easy for the player to continue the game even after the gaming state shifts to the low probability and low base state.

In the third modification, when the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the variable display is executed in the fluctuation pattern (PA2-4) of the super reach γ deviation, the variable display is executed. When the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state, if the set values are the same, the cut-in effect is pattern CI-at a higher rate than when the gaming state is the low-accuracy low-base state or the low-accuracy high-base state. Although the embodiment that can be performed in 3 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any of 4 to 6, and the super reach γ is used. When the variable display is executed in the out-of-order fluctuation pattern (PA2-4), if the gaming state is the high-accuracy high-base state, the cut-in effect can be executed in the pattern CI-3, while the gaming state is low. In the case of the low accuracy base state or the low accuracy high base state, the cut-in effect may be disabled by the pattern CI-3.

A gaming machine may be a combination of the above-described embodiment and any configuration described in the first to third modifications.

As described above, the feature unit 36IW includes the first invention shown below.

(Means 1) A gaming machine capable of performing variable display and controlling an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to the player, and displaying a specific display (for example, hold display, active display) corresponding to the variable display. A displayable specific display means (for example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 for executing steps 36IWS105 and S124) and an action display (for example, a character image) capable of acting on the specific display (for example, an action effect). ) (For example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 that executes step S172 after performing step 36IWS205) and an action effect execution target based on the action effect being executed. A changing means (for example, a staging control CPU 120) that can change the display mode of the specific display to any one of a plurality of stages of display modes (for example, white, blue, and red) having different expectations for controlling the display mode to an advantageous state. The first step (a portion for executing step S172), and the action staging execution means starts in a suggestion mode (for example, a blue suggestion mode, a red suggestion mode) suggesting a display mode of the specific display after the change. It is possible to execute the action effect of the pattern and the action effect of the second pattern starting in a non-suggestion mode (for example, a non-suggestion mode) that does not suggest the display mode of the specific display after the change, and the change means is the second. The display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action staging is changed at a higher rate when the action staging of the first pattern is executed than when the action staging of the pattern is executed (for example, a non-suggestion mode). When the action effect of the above is performed, the display mode of the specific display of the execution target is changed at a rate of less than 100% (may or may not change), and when the action effect of the suggestion mode is performed. Is characterized in that the display mode of the specific display of the execution target is changed at a rate of 100% (see FIGS. 8-7 (B) to (E)). According to such a configuration, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

(Means 2) In the means 1, the specific display means includes a hold display corresponding to a variable display that has not yet been started (for example, a hold display) and a corresponding display corresponding to a running variable display (for example,). (Active display) can be displayed, and the action effect execution means executes the action effect of the first pattern or the second pattern at different ratios depending on whether the execution target is the hold display or the corresponding display (active display). For example, the ratio in which the suggested mode is selected and the ratio in which the non-suggested mode is selected as the effect mode of the action effect are different depending on whether the execution target is the hold display or the active display (FIG. 8-7 (FIG. 8-7). B)-(E)))). According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by making the effect tendency different depending on whether the execution target of the action effect is the hold display or the corresponding display.

(Means 3) In the means 2, the action effect of the first pattern is executed, and the display mode of the specific display, which is the execution target of the action effect, is changed to a high expectation mode with a high expectation for controlling the display mode to an advantageous state. The first success pattern (for example, a pattern in which the action effect of the suggestion mode is performed and the display mode of the specific display changes after the action effect) and the action effect of the first pattern are executed, and the action effect is executed. A first failure pattern that does not change the display mode of the specific display (for example, a pattern in the modification 1 in which the action effect of the blue suggestion mode is performed and the display mode of the specific display does not change after the action effect) and the second pattern. A second success pattern in which the action effect is executed and the display mode of the specific display that is the execution target of the action effect is changed to the high expectation mode (for example, the action effect of the non-suggestive mode is performed and the specific display is performed after the action effect. (Pattern in which the display mode of the above changes) and the second failure pattern (for example, the action effect of the non-suggestive mode) that executes the action effect of the second pattern and does not change the display mode of the specific display that is the execution target of the action effect. It is possible to control one of the patterns (a pattern in which the display mode of the specific display does not change after the action effect), and the execution target of the action effect is the hold display and the corresponding display. It is possible to control the first success pattern, the first failure pattern, the second success pattern, or the second failure pattern at different ratios (for example, when the execution target is the hold display and the active display). The rate at which the display mode of the specific display changes after the action effect is executed is different (see FIG. 8-7 (A)), and the rate at which the suggested mode is selected and the non-suggested mode are selected as the effect mode of the action effect. The ratio may be different (see FIGS. 8-11 (B) to (E)). According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by making the effect tendency including the presence or absence of the change of the specific display different depending on the case where the execution target of the action effect is the hold display and the case where the corresponding display is the corresponding display. ..

(Means 4) In the means 3, when the execution target of the action effect is the hold display, the control of the second success pattern can be executed at a higher rate than the first success pattern (for example, the execution target is the hold display). When it is determined that the display mode of the hold display changes after the execution of the action effect, the non-suggested mode is determined at a higher rate than the suggested mode as the effect mode of the action effect (FIG. 8-11 (A). )-(C))), when the execution target of the action effect is the corresponding display, the control of the first success pattern can be executed at a higher rate than the second success pattern (for example, the execution target is the active display). When it is determined that the display mode of the active display changes after the action effect is executed, the suggestion mode is determined at a higher rate than the non-suggestion mode as the effect mode of the action effect (FIG. 8-11 (FIG. 8-11). A)-(C)))). According to such a configuration, the ratio of the success pattern differs depending on whether the execution target of the action effect is the hold display or the corresponding display, and particularly when the execution target is the corresponding display, the ratio of the first success pattern. The high value makes the first success pattern stand out.

(Means 5) In the means 3 or the means 4, the control of the second failure pattern can be executed at a higher rate when the execution target of the action effect is the hold display than when the corresponding display is executed (for example, execution). When the target is in the hold display, the action failure effect is executed at a higher rate than when the execution target is the active display (see FIG. 8-7 (A)), and the action is performed when the execution target is the hold display. When it is determined that the display mode of the hold display does not change after the execution of the effect, when the execution target is the active display and it is determined that the display mode of the active display does not change after the execution of the action effect. It is also possible to execute the action effect of the non-suggestive mode at a higher rate (see FIGS. 8-11 (D) and (E)). According to such a configuration, when the execution target of the action effect is the hold display, the change of the correspondence display is agitated, and when the execution target of the action effect is the correspondence display, the failure pattern is less likely to occur. Can be done.

(Means 6) In any one of the means 1 to the means 5, the action effect executing means can move and display the action display corresponding to the specific display that is the execution target of the action effect (for example, the effect control CPU 120). May execute step 36IWS126). According to such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize which specific display is the execution target of the action effect.

(Means 7) In any one of the means 1 to the means 6, the action effect executing means uses the action display of any of a plurality of types of action display display modes (for example, large size and small size). The action effect of the first pattern or the second pattern is executed at a different ratio depending on whether the action effect is executed (for example, whether the effect mode of the action effect to be executed is a suggestive mode or a non-suggestion mode). The selection ratio of the character size may be different depending on the situation (see FIGS. 8-15 (A) to (C)). According to such a configuration, it is possible to pay attention to the display mode of the action display and the pattern of the action effect.

(Means 8) In any one of the means 1 to the means 7, the action effect executing means has a lower reliability for controlling the first aspect (for example, a large size) and the advantageous state than the first aspect. It is possible to perform an action effect using the action display of a plurality of types including the second mode (for example, small size) showing the above, and the action using the action display of the first aspect in which one specific display is the execution target. After executing the effect, it is possible to execute the action effect using the action display of the first aspect in which the one specific display is the execution target, while the action of the second aspect in which the one specific display is the execution target. Do not execute the action effect using the display (For example, after executing the action effect using the large size, the large size character size can be selected, but the small size character size is not selected (Fig. 8-15 (Fig. 8-15 (Fig. 8-15)). See C))). According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged by executing the action effect of the second aspect after the action effect of the first aspect is executed.

(Means 9) In any of the means 1 to the means 8, the execution ratios of the action effect of the first pattern and the action effect of the second pattern differ depending on the display mode of the specific display when the action effect is started. (For example, depending on whether the display mode of the specific display before the change is white or blue, the ratio of the action effect of the suggestion mode or the non-suggestion mode is different (FIG. 8-Fig. 8-). 7 (B) to (D)))). According to such a configuration, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

(Means 10) In any one of the means 1 to the means 9, the action effect executing means displays a display mode in a stage lower than the specific stage as the display mode of the specific display after the change (for example, as the action effect of the first pattern). The action effect of the first predetermined pattern starting in the suggestion mode (for example, the blue suggestion mode) suggesting (blue), and the display mode (for example, red) at a specific stage or higher as the display mode of the specific display after the change. It is possible to carry out the action effect of the first specific pattern starting in the suggestion mode (for example, the red suggestion mode), and when changing the display mode of the specific display, the action effect of the first predetermined pattern and the first While any of the action effects of the specific pattern can be executed, the action effect of the first predetermined pattern is not executed and the action effect of the first specific pattern is executed when the display mode of the specific display is not changed. It is possible (for example, when it is decided to change the display mode of the specific display after the action effect is executed, the action effect of any of the blue suggestion mode and the red suggestion mode can be executed. On the other hand (FIGS. 8-11 (B), (C)), when it is determined that the display mode of the specific display is not changed after the action effect is executed, the action effect of the blue suggestion mode is feasible. The action effect of the red suggestion mode may not be executed (FIGS. 8-11 (D), (E)). According to such a configuration, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

(Means 11) In any one of means 1 to means 10, it is possible to control an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot gaming state) that is advantageous to the player, and a disadvantage setting value (for example, 1 to 3) and the disadvantage setting. A gaming machine (for example, pachinko gaming machine 1) that can set any of a plurality of setting values including an advantageous setting value (for example, 4 to 6) that is more advantageous to the player than the value. It is controlled to the advantageous state based on the determination means (for example, the portion where the CPU 103 executes the special symbol normal processing shown in FIG. 5) and the determination result of the determination means. Suggestion effect execution means (for example, effect control) that can execute the suggestion effect (for example, reach effect) suggesting that the effect is included or not included in the specific effect (for example, the cut-in effect of pattern CI-3). The part of the CPU 120 that executes the variable display effect processing shown in FIG. 7 after executing the cut-in effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-25) and the effect different from the specific effect and controlled to an advantageous state. (For example, after the effect control CPU 120 executes the cut-in effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-25), it is possible to execute the special effect (for example, the cut-in effect of the pattern CI-4). (Part of executing the variable display during effect processing shown in), and the advantageous state is more advantageous to the player than the first advantageous state (for example, the jackpot gaming state of jackpot A or jackpot B) and the first advantageous state. The second advantageous state (for example, the jackpot gaming state of the jackpot C) is included, and the suggestion effect executing means is set to the disadvantage setting value, and it is not determined that the suggestion effect execution means is controlled to the advantageous state by the determining means. Occasionally, it is not possible to execute the suggestion effect of the mode including the specific effect (for example, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (B), the set value set to 1 in the pachinko gaming machine is any one of 1 to 3. , And if the variable display result is out of alignment, it is determined that the cut-in effect is set to the advantageous setting value (the part that cannot be executed in the pattern CI-3), and that the determination means controls the advantageous state. When not, it is possible to execute a suggestion effect of an aspect including a specific effect (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 (C) to 8-28 (E), one setting is set for the pachinko gaming machine. If the value is any of 4 to 6 and the variable display result is out of order, the cut-in effect can be executed by pattern CI-3), and the special effect is executed and controlled to an advantageous state. Is controlled to the second advantageous state (for example, as shown in FIGS. 8-28 and 8-29, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-4, the variable display result is always a big hit and a big hit. When the suggestion effect of the mode including the specific effect is executed and controlled to the advantageous state, it is controlled to the first advantageous state or the second advantageous state (for example, FIG. As shown in 8-28 and FIG. 8-29, when the cut-in effect is executed by the pattern CI-3, when the variable display result becomes a big hit, one of the big hit A, the big hit B, and the big hit C It may be a part controlled by the gaming state). According to such a configuration, the player can pay attention to whether or not the special effect is executed, and the suggestive effect including the specific effect may be executed and controlled to the second advantageous state. , When the advantageous setting value is set, the suggestion effect including the specific effect is executed and the deterioration of the game interest is reduced when the advantageous state is not controlled.

Further, as described above, the feature unit 36IW includes the second invention shown below.

(Means 1) A gaming machine capable of performing variable display, performing variable display, and controlling an advantageous state (for example, a jackpot game state) that is advantageous to the player, and a specific display corresponding to the variable display (for example, hold display). , Active display) and a specific display means (for example, a portion of the effect control CPU 120 that executes steps 36IWS105 and S124) and an action display (for example, a character image) that can act on the specific display. (For example, the part of the effect control CPU 120 in which step 36IWS205 is executed and then step S172 is executed) and the action effect are executed. A changing means (for example, white, blue, red) that can be changed to one of a plurality of stages of display modes (for example, white, blue, and red) having different expectations for controlling the display mode of the specific display of the execution target of the action effect to an advantageous state. , The portion of the effect control CPU 120 that executes step S172), and the action effect executing means has a suggestion mode (for example, a blue suggestion mode, a red suggestion mode) that suggests a display mode of the specific display after the change. It is possible to execute the action effect of the first pattern that starts with the action effect and the action effect of the second pattern that starts in a non-suggestion mode (for example, a non-suggestion mode) that does not suggest the display mode of the specific display after the change. Depending on the display mode of the specific display when the effect is started, the execution ratios of the action effect of the first pattern and the action effect of the second pattern are different (for example, the display mode of the specific display before the change is either white or blue. It is characterized in that the ratio of the action effect of which of the suggestion mode and the non-suggestion mode is to be performed differs depending on whether the mode is (see FIGS. 8-7 (B) to (D)). According to such a configuration, it is possible to effectively raise the expectation when the action production is started and improve the interest of the game.

(Means 2) In the means 1, the specific display means includes a hold display corresponding to a variable display that has not yet been started (for example, a hold display) and a corresponding display corresponding to a running variable display (for example,). (Active display) can be displayed, and the action effect execution means executes the action effect of the first pattern or the second pattern at different ratios depending on whether the execution target is the hold display or the corresponding display (active display). For example, the ratio in which the suggested mode is selected and the ratio in which the non-suggested mode is selected as the effect mode of the action effect are different depending on whether the execution target is the hold display or the active display (FIG. 8-7 (FIG. 8-7). B)-(E)))). According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by making the effect tendency different depending on whether the execution target of the action effect is the hold display or the corresponding display.

(Means 3) In the means 2, the action effect of the first pattern is executed, and the display mode of the specific display, which is the execution target of the action effect, is changed to a high expectation mode with a high expectation for controlling the display mode to an advantageous state. The first success pattern (for example, a pattern in which the action effect of the suggestion mode is performed and the display mode of the specific display changes after the action effect) and the action effect of the first pattern are executed, and the action effect is executed. A first failure pattern that does not change the display mode of the specific display (for example, a pattern in the modification 1 in which the action effect of the blue suggestion mode is performed and the display mode of the specific display does not change after the action effect) and the second pattern. A second success pattern in which the action effect is executed and the display mode of the specific display that is the execution target of the action effect is changed to the high expectation mode (for example, the action effect of the non-suggestive mode is performed and the specific display is performed after the action effect. (Pattern in which the display mode of the above changes) and the second failure pattern (for example, the action effect of the non-suggestive mode) that executes the action effect of the second pattern and does not change the display mode of the specific display that is the execution target of the action effect. It is possible to control one of the patterns (a pattern in which the display mode of the specific display does not change after the action effect), and the execution target of the action effect is the hold display and the corresponding display. It is possible to control the first success pattern, the first failure pattern, the second success pattern, or the second failure pattern at different ratios (for example, when the execution target is the hold display and the active display). The rate at which the display mode of the specific display changes after the action effect is executed is different (see FIG. 8-7 (A)), and the rate at which the suggested mode is selected and the non-suggested mode are selected as the effect mode of the action effect. The ratio may be different (see FIGS. 8-11 (B) to (E)). According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the interest of the game by making the effect tendency including the presence or absence of the change of the specific display different depending on the case where the execution target of the action effect is the hold display and the case where the corresponding display is the corresponding display. ..
