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

(Structure of pachinko machine 1, etc.)
FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko game machine 1, showing the arrangement layout of the main members. A pachinko game machine (game machine) 1 is roughly composed of a game board (gauge board) 2 forming a game board surface and a game machine frame (underframe) 3 supporting and fixing the game board 2 . A game area is formed in the game board 2, and a game ball as a game medium is shot from a predetermined ball shooting device and hit into the game area.

The "variable display" of special symbols means, for example, that a plurality of types of special symbols are variably displayed (the same applies to other symbols described later). Variations include updating display of a plurality of patterns, scrolling display of a plurality of patterns, deformation of one or more patterns, enlargement/reduction of one or more patterns, and the like. In the variation of special symbols and normal symbols, which will be described later, a plurality of types of special symbols or normal symbols are updated and displayed. In the variation of decorative patterns, which will be described later, a plurality of types of decorative patterns are scrolled or updated, and one or more decorative patterns are deformed or enlarged/reduced. Note that the variation also includes a mode in which a certain symbol is displayed blinking. At the end of the variable display, a predetermined special symbol is stopped and displayed (also referred to as derivation or derivation display) as a display result (the same applies to variable display of other symbols to be described later). Variable display may be expressed as variable display or variation.

The special symbols variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A are also called "first special symbols", and the special symbols variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B are also called "second special symbols". Also, a special game using the first special game is called a "first special game", and a special game using the second special game is called a "second special game". In addition, the number of special symbol display devices that variably display the special symbols may be one.

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) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and displays various effects images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5 .

For example, on the screen of the image display device 5, in synchronism with the first special game and the second special game, a plurality of types of decorative patterns (such as patterns showing numbers) as decoration identification information different from the special patterns. variable display is performed. Here, in synchronism with the first special game or the second special game, decorative symbols are variably displayed (for example, vertically direction scroll display and update display). It should be noted that the variable display of the special game and the decoration pattern that are executed in synchronization are also collectively referred to simply as the variable display.

A display area may be provided on the screen of the image display device 5 for displaying suspended display corresponding to the variable display whose execution is suspended and active display corresponding to the variable display being executed. Suspended display and active display are also collectively referred to as variable display corresponding display corresponding to variable display.

The number of variable representations that are reserved is also referred to as the number of reserved memories. The reserved memory number corresponding to the first special game is also referred to as the first reserved memory number, and the reserved memory number corresponding to the second special game is also referred to as the second reserved memory number. The sum of the first reserved memory number and the second reserved memory number is also referred to as the total reserved memory number.

At predetermined positions on the game board 2, a first suspension indicator 25A and a second suspension indicator 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. The first pending display 25A displays the first pending memory number by the number of lit LEDs. The second pending display 25B displays the number of second pending memories according to the number of lit LEDs.

A winning ball device 6A is provided below the image display device 5, and a variable winning ball device 6B is provided on the right side of the winning ball device 6A.

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

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning hole that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 3). The variable winning ball device 6B is provided with, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable winglets. comes close to the winning ball device 6A, and the closed state in which the game balls do not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening being closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening (second start It is also said that the prize-winning mouth is open.). When the game ball enters the second start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the second special game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that changes between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to a device provided with an electric tulip-shaped accessory.

Predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, three positions on the lower left side of the game area and one position above the variable winning ball device 6B) are always kept in a constant open state by predetermined ball receiving members. A general winning opening 10 is provided. In this case, when the player enters one of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

A special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is provided between the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 has a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 3). Form.

As an example, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning door (for the special electric accessory) is in the OFF state, the big winning door closes the big winning door, and the game ball is pushed out. You will not be able to enter (pass through) the prize gate. On the other hand, in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize winning port door is in the ON state, the special prize winning port door opens the big prize winning port, making it easier for the game ball to enter the big prize winning port. Become.

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

Entering a game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also called "winning". In particular, winning a prize in a starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening) is also referred to as 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 lower part of the game area). As an example, the normal symbol display device 20 is composed of a 7-segment LED or the like, and performs variable display of normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9", lighting patterns such as "-", and the like. The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of normal patterns is also called a normal pattern game.

A passage gate 41 through which game balls can pass is provided on the right side of the image display device 5 . Based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41, the normal game is executed.

Below the normal pattern display 20, a normal pattern holding display 25C is provided. The general pattern suspension display 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the normal pattern suspension storage number, which is the number of general pattern games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

(Overview of Game Progress)
A game ball is shot toward a game area by a player's rotating operation of a ball-hitting operation handle 30 provided in the pachinko game machine 1 . When the game ball passes through the passage gate 41, the normal pattern display device 20 starts the normal pattern game. In addition, when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 during the period during the execution of the previous normal game (when the game ball passes through the passage gate 41 but the normal game based on the passage cannot be executed immediately) , the normal game based on the passage is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In this normal pattern game, if a specific normal pattern (normal pattern per pattern) is stopped and displayed, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern per pattern". On the other hand, if a normal pattern (normal pattern lost pattern) other than the normal pattern winning pattern is stop-displayed as the fixed normal pattern, the display result of the normal pattern becomes "normal pattern lost". When it comes to "normal game", the variable winning ball device 6B is opened for a predetermined period of time and the opening control is performed (the second start winning opening is opened).

When a game ball enters the first starting winning hole 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 hole 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 game is running or during the period when it is controlled to the jackpot game state described later (starting winning occurs, but it is based on the starting winning If the special game cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special game based on the entry is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, if a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol differs depending on the type of the big hit described below) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big win" and a big winning symbol. If a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") is stopped and displayed, it becomes "missing". Incidentally, the "loss" in the pachinko game machine 1 includes a "time-saving loss" that is controlled from the next variable display to a high base state (time-saving state) without going through the big win game.

After the display result in the special game becomes "big win", the game is controlled to a big win game state as an advantageous state for the player.

In the jackpot game state, the jackpot formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is the timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until whichever comes first. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the big winning slot can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. 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 upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, multiple types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning opening and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc.) are prepared, and the jackpot type is set according to these It is As the jackpot types, there may be provided a jackpot type with which many prize balls can be obtained, a jackpot type with few prize balls, or a jackpot type with which few prize balls can be obtained.

After the jackpot game state is finished, depending on the jackpot type, it may be controlled to a time-saving state or a variable probability state.

In the time saving state, the control (time saving control) that shortens the average special figure fluctuation time (period of varying the special figure) than the normal state is executed. In the time-saving state, by shortening the average normal figure fluctuation time (the period during which the normal figure is changed) than in the normal state, and by improving the probability of becoming a "normal figure hit" in the general figure game than in the normal state, etc. Control (high opening control, high base control) that makes it easier for game balls to enter the second start winning opening is also executed. Since the time-saving state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols (especially the second special symbols) is improved, it is an advantageous state for the player.

In the variable probability state (probability variable state), in addition to the time-saving control, the variable probability control in which the probability that the display result is a "jackpot" is higher than in the normal state is executed. The variable probability state is a state in which the variation efficiency of the special symbols is improved, and in addition, a "big hit" is likely to occur, so it is a further advantageous state for the player.

The time saving state and the variable probability state are continued until one of the end conditions such as execution of the special game for a predetermined number of times and start of the next big win game state is established first. The end condition that the special figure game of a predetermined number of times has been executed is also referred to as a number cut (number cut time reduction, number cut probability variable, etc.).

The normal state means a game state other than a special state such as an advantageous state such as a jackpot game state that is advantageous to the player, a time saving state, a variable probability state, etc., and the display result in the normal game is "normal game". The pachinko gaming machine 1, such as the probability and the probability that the display result in the special game will be a "jackpot", returns to the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, a predetermined return after power-on, such as when the system is reset) It is the state controlled in the same way as when processing is not executed).

The state in which probability variable control is executed is also called a high probability state, and the state in which probability variable control is not executed is also called a low probability state. A state in which time-saving control is performed is also referred to as a high-based state, and a state in which time-saving control is not performed is also referred to as a low-based state. Combining these, the short-time state is also called a low-probability-high base state, the probability-variable state is a high-probability-high base state, and the normal state is a low-probability-low base state. The high probability state and the low base state are also referred to as the high probability low base state.

In addition, the game state may change based on the fact that the game ball has passed through a specific area (for example, a specific area within the big winning opening) during the jackpot game state. For example, when the game ball passes through the specific area, it may be controlled to the probability variable state after the big hit game state.
(Progress of production, etc.)

In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notifying the progress of the game and exciting 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. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and the game effect lamp 9 are provided. lighting or extinguishing, the movement of the movable body 32, or a performance using any performance device including a part or all of these.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided on the image display device 5, the first special game or the second In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game or the second special game, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns), which is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns, is displayed. ) is also stopped (derived).

During the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end of the variable display, the variable display of the decorative design may be in a predetermined ready-to-win state (ready-to-win state is established). Here, the ready-to-win mode means that when the decorative symbols stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative symbols that are not stopped and displayed are displayed in a variable manner. It is the aspect that is continuing.

Further, a ready-to-win effect is executed in response to the above-described ready-to-win mode during the variable display of decorative symbols. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the ratio of the display result (the display result of the special game or the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern) to the "big win" (also called the "big win reliability" or "big win expectation") depends on the performance mode. A plurality of different types of ready-to-win effects are executed. The ready-to-win performance includes, for example, a normal reach and a super-to-win with higher reliability than the normal reach.

When the display result of the special game is a "big hit", a fixed decorative pattern that is a predetermined big hit combination is derived as a display result of the variable display of decorative patterns on the screen of the image display device 5 (decoration The display result of the variable display of the pattern becomes a "jackpot"). As an example, the same decoration patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stop-displayed together on predetermined effective lines in the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. .

In the case of a ``variable probability big hit'' controlled to a variable probability state after the end of the big win game state, odd decorative patterns (for example, "7" etc.) are stopped and displayed together, and the variable probability state is entered after the end of the big win game state. In the case of an uncontrolled "non-probability variable jackpot (normal jackpot)", even-numbered decorative symbols (for example, "6") may be stopped and displayed together. In this case, odd-numbered decorative patterns are also called probability variable patterns and even-numbered decorative patterns are also called non-probable variable patterns (normal patterns). After becoming a ready-to-win mode with non-probability variation symbols, a promotion performance may be executed to finally become a "probability variation big hit".

When the display result of the special game is "lost", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the ready-to-win mode, and the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" (Also referred to as non-reach lost") may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach lost"). In addition, when the display result is "lost", after the mode of variable display of decorative patterns becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of variable display of decorative patterns is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("no reach") that is not a big hit combination. ”) is stopped and displayed (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes “reach lost”).

The effects that can be executed by the pachinko gaming machine 1 include displaying the variable display corresponding display (suspended display and active display). In addition, as other effects, for example, a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big hit is executed during the variable display of the decorative symbols. The notice effect includes a notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display during execution and a pre-reading notice effect for notifying the reliability of the big win in the variable display before execution (variable display whose execution is suspended). As the pre-reading advance notice effect, an effect of changing the display mode of the display corresponding to variable display (suspended display or active display) to a mode different from normal may be executed.

Also, in the image display device 5, the decorative patterns are temporarily stopped during the variable display of the decorative patterns, and then the variable display is restarted, so that one variable display is simulated as a plurality of variable displays. A pseudo continuous effect may be executed.

During the big winning game state, the performance during the big winning is executed to report the big winning game state. As the effect during the big win, the effect of notifying the number of rounds or the promotion effect indicating that the value of the big win game state is improved may be executed.

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

The transmission of the detection signal means that the passage or entry of the game ball has been detected.

The switch circuit 110 takes in a reset signal, a power-off signal, and a clear signal from the power board 17 and transmits them to the game control microcomputer 100 . The reset signal is an operation stop signal for stopping the operation of the control circuit such as the game control microcomputer 100, and can be output using either the power supply monitoring circuit, the IC with built-in watchdog timer, or the system reset IC. I wish I had. The power-off signal turns off when a predetermined power supply voltage used in the pachinko game machine 1 exceeds a predetermined value, and turns on when the period in which the predetermined power supply voltage is equal to or less than the predetermined value continues for a power-off reference time or longer. Become. The clear signal is turned on, for example, when a clear switch 92 provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed.

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

(Major operations of the main substrate 11)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes the game control main process. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main substrate 11. As shown in FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 4, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). Initial settings include stack pointer setting, internal device register setting (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output port, etc.), setting to make RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

Next, it is determined whether or not the recovery condition is satisfied (step S3). The recovery condition can be satisfied when the clear signal is in the OFF state, there is backup data, and the backup RAM is normal. When the power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, for example, if a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17 is pressed, a clear signal in an ON state is input to the game control microcomputer 100 . If such an on-state clear signal is input, it may be determined in step S3 that the restoration condition is not established. It is sufficient that the backup data can be stored in the RAM 102 serving as a backup RAM for game control. In step S3, the presence or absence of backup data, the presence or absence of data errors, etc. may be confirmed or inspected to determine whether or not the recovery condition can be established.

If the restoration condition is satisfied (step S3; Yes), after executing the restoration process (step S4), the setting confirmation process (step S5) is executed. The work area is set based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 by the recovery process in step S4. By setting the work area using the backup data stored in the RAM 102, the game state when the power supply is stopped can be restored. It is sufficient if the pattern variation can be restarted.

If the recovery condition is not satisfied (step S3; No), the initialization process (step S6) is performed, and then the setting change process (step S7) is performed. The initialization processing in step S6 includes clear processing for clearing the flags, counters, and buffers stored in the RAM 102, and initial values are set in the work area by executing the clear processing.

In the setting confirmation process of step S5, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting confirmation condition is satisfied. The setting confirmation condition is established, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is ON and the setting key 51 is ON when the power supply is started. The setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed when the recovery condition including the clear signal being in the OFF state is satisfied in step S3. Therefore, since the setting confirmation condition can be satisfied only when the clear signal is in the OFF state, the fact that the clear signal is in the OFF state can also be included in the setting confirmation condition.

When the setting confirmation condition is satisfied in the setting confirmation process of step S5, the setting confirmation state is entered in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed, and the main board 11 sets the performance control board 12. A confirmation start command is sent. In the setting confirmation state, the setting values set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be confirmed by the display on the display monitor 29 . When ending the setting confirmation state, a setting confirmation end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting confirmation state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be in a game stop state to stop the progress of the game. When the game is in the stopped state, shooting of game balls by operating the batted ball operation handle, detection of game balls by various switches, etc. are stopped, and the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, and the normal symbols are stopped. The display device 20 may be controlled so as to stop display of the winning symbols or the like, or display corresponding to the game stop state different from the losing symbols. When the setting confirmation state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

In the setting change process of step S7, it is determined whether or not a predetermined setting change condition is satisfied. The setting change condition is satisfied, for example, when the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is in the ON state and the setting key 51 is turned ON when power supply is started. The setting change condition may include that the clear signal is on.

When the setting change condition is satisfied in the setting change process of step S7, the setting change state is set in which the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 can be changed, and the main board 11 sets to the effect control board 12. A change start command is sent. In the setting change state, the setting values are displayed on the display monitor 29, and each time the operation of the setting changeover switch 52 is detected, the numerical values displayed on the display monitor 29 are sequentially updated and displayed. After that, when the setting key 51 is turned off by an operation by a game hall staff member or the like, the setting value displayed on the display monitor 29 is stored (updated) in the backup area of the RAM 102, and the display monitor 29 is updated. turn off the When ending the setting change state, a setting change end command is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 .

When the pachinko game machine 1 is in the setting change state, the pachinko game machine 1 may be put in the game stop state as in the setting confirmation state. When the setting change state ends, the game stop state associated therewith should also end.

On the effect control board 12 side, when a setting confirmation start command or a setting change start command is received, control may be performed to notify that the setting is being checked or that the setting is being changed. For example, a predetermined image may be displayed on the image display device 5, a predetermined sound may be output from the speakers 8L and 8R, or a light-emitting member such as the game effect lamp 9 may emit light in a predetermined manner.

The clear signal is turned on by pressing a clear switch provided on the power supply board 17, for example. Therefore, if the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is on and the setting key 51 is on when the power supply is started, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 and the step The setting change process of S7 is executed to enable control to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the setting confirmation process of step S5 is executed together with the recovery process of step S4 to enable control to the setting confirmation state. If the detection signal from the door opening sensor 90 is off when the power supply is started, or if the setting key 51 is off, and if the clear switch is on, the initialization process of step S6 is executed. On the other hand, it is not controlled to the setting change state, and if the clear switch is off, the recovery processing of step S4 is executed, but it is not controlled to the setting confirmation state.

After executing the setting confirmation process or the setting change process, the CPU 103 executes a random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S8). Then, the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S9), and the interrupt is permitted (step S10 ). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko game 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, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.), start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of wins, etc.), probability change information (information indicating the number of times the odd state has occurred, etc.) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). By the CPU 103 executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, execution and suspension management of the special symbol game, control of the jackpot game state, control of the game state, and the like are realized.

Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S26). The CPU 103 executes normal symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, thereby managing the execution and suspension of the normal symbol game based on the detection signal from the gate switch 21 (based on the game ball passing through the passage gate 41), It is possible to control the opening of the variable winning ball device 6B based on the "normal game hit". The execution of the normal pattern game is performed by driving the normal pattern display device 20, and the normal pattern reservation number is displayed by lighting the normal pattern reservation display device 25C.

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

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 5 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

In the starting winning determination process, the occurrence of starting winning is detected, and the process of storing the pending information in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 and updating the pending storage number is executed. When a starting prize is generated, a random number value for determining the display result (including the jackpot type) and the variation pattern is extracted and stored as pending information. Further, based on the extracted random number value, a process of pre-reading and judging the display result and the variation pattern may be executed. After storing the pending information and the number of pending memories, the transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command for specifying the determination result such as the occurrence of the start winning, the number of pending memories, and the prefetch determination is performed on the effect control board 12. will be The effect control command at the time of starting winning thus set to be transmitted is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by, for example, executing the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. is transmitted to

After executing the starting prize determination process in step S101, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the RAM102. In addition, in each process (steps S110 to S120) of the special symbol process process, transmission setting for transmitting the effect control command corresponding to each process to the effect control board 12 is performed.

The special symbol normal process of step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "0" (initial value). In this special symbol normal process, it is determined whether or not to start the first special symbol game or the second special symbol game based on the presence or absence of pending information. In addition, in the special symbol normal processing, based on the random number value for determining the display result, whether or not the display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit" and the type of the big hit in the case of a "big hit" are determined by the display result. is determined (predetermined) before is derived and displayed. Furthermore, in the special symbol normal process, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a losing 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 figure process flag is updated to "1", and the special symbol normal process ends. In addition, 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 called special figure 2 priority digestion). Also, the winning order of the game balls to the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening may be stored, and the start condition of the special game may be established in the order of winning (also called winning order).

When making various decisions based on random numbers, various tables stored in the ROM 101 (tables in which decision values to be compared with random numbers are assigned to decision results) are referred to. Other decisions on the main board 11 and various decisions on the effect control board 12 are the same. Various tables are stored in the ROM 121 of the effect control board 12 .

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". This variation pattern setting process includes a process of determining one of a plurality of variation patterns using a random number value for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination of whether or not the display result is a "big hit". It 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 variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of variable display of decorative patterns), the form of variable display of decorative patterns (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of decorative patterns. It specifies the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes a process of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation 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 processing ends.

The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the variation of the special symbol, and stop display (derivate) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes a process to set for Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". When the display result is "missing", when it is controlled in the time saving state or the variable probability state, and when the end of the number of cuts is established, the game state is also updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting the execution of the round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is "jackpot". is When opening the big winning opening, a process of supplying a solenoid driving signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is completed.

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". In this process during the opening of the big win, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning hole, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the big winning hole is counted. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes processing for determining whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions, and processing for judging whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit number of executions. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit number of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending production is executed as a production operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

The pachinko game machine 1 is configured such that the probability of winning a jackpot and the rate of winning balls are changed according to the set value. For example, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing, by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value, the probability of winning a big hit and the rate of winning balls are changed. For example, the setting value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, and 6 is the highest probability of winning the big win, and the probability of winning the big win decreases in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 as the value decreases. In this example, when 6 is set as the setting value, the advantage for the player is the highest, and the lower the value in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the lower the advantage in stages. . If the winning probability of the big win changes according to the set value, the ball payout rate may also change according to the set value. While the winning probability of the big win is constant regardless of the set value, the number of rounds in the big win game state may change according to the set value. The pachinko game machine 1 may be configured so as to be able to set one of a plurality of set values with different degrees of advantage for the player. The set values set in the pachinko game machine 1 are notified by transmitting a set value designation command from the main board 11 side to the effect control board 12 side.

FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table. Figure 7 (A) shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the first special figure used when the variation special figure is the first special figure, and Figure 7 (B) shows that the variation special figure is the second special figure It shows a configuration example of the display result determination table for the second special figure used when it is a figure. A display result determination table is a collection of data stored in the ROM 101 . In the display result determination table, the hit determination value compared with the random number MR1 is assigned to the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbol, according to the set value. The random number MR1 is a random number for determining the display result, and the value is randomly updated within the range of 0-65535. As the display result determination table, a common display result determination table may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

As shown in FIG. 7 (A), when the variable special figure is the first special figure, the set value is 1 and when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values that are compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65535 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a variable probability state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. It should be noted that when the variable special figure is set to 2 to 6 in the first special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(A).

As shown in FIG. 7 (B), when the fluctuation special figure is the second special figure, the set value is 1, and if the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, in the range of 0 to 65535 It is a numerical value that can take a value, and among the hit judgment values compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment, 1020 to 1237 are assigned to "big hit", and 65317 to 65425 are "with time saving "missing" and other numerical ranges are assigned to "missing". In addition, when the set value is 1 and the game state is a variable probability state, among the above-mentioned hit determination values, 1020 to 1346 are assigned to "big hit", and other numerical ranges are assigned to "miss" assigned. In addition, for the case where the variable special figure has a set value of 2 to 6 in the second special figure and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is as shown in FIG. 7(B).

Here, focusing on the numerical range of the hit determination value assigned to "big hit" or "loss with time saving" in each display result determination table, as shown in FIG. In the first special figure display result determination table, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is set to the common numerical range of the big hit determination values for determining the big hit regardless of the set value.

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

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, if the setting value is 1, the hit determination value that can take a value in the range of 0 to 65535, common While only numbers within the numerical range (1020-1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", if the set value is 2 or more, the non-common numerical range is added to the common numerical range among the jackpot determination values. A number within the range is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65535 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation judgment value is in a numerical range different from the range of the jackpot judgment value (1020 to 1346) of the previous set value 6, with 65317 as the reference value of the loss with time reduction (reference value with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65535 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the variable probability 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. Set to a common numeric range.

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

That is, in the first special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is a variable probability state, if the set value is 1, the common numerical range ( 1020 to 1346) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot determination values, the common numerical range plus the non-common numerical range A numerical value is assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

In the second special figure display result determination table in the case where the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 1020 to 1237 of the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the big hit regardless of the set value. is set to a common numeric range for

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

In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the second special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the set value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the hit judgment values, only numbers within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot judgment values, the common numerical range Numbers within the range plus the non-common number range are assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the probability of a big hit increases as the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases as the set value increases, with 1020 as the reference value for the judgment value of the big hit (jackpot reference value). go.

Furthermore, in the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 65317 to 65425 of the hit determination values determines the time saving loss regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the deviation judgment value with time saving. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1346 of the hit judgment values are set in the numerical range of the big hit judgment value, and with time saving The deviation determination value is in a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value of the setting value 6 (1020 to 1346), with 65317 as a reference value for loss with time reduction (reference value for loss with time reduction), in the range of 65317 to 65425 Since it is set, it is prevented that the numerical range of the loss determination value with time saving is overlapped with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

In the second special figure display result determination table when the game state is the variable probability state, the range from 1020 to 1346 of the hit determination values is the common numerical value of the jackpot determination value for determining the jackpot regardless of the set value. set in the range. The characteristics of the other second special figure display result determination table are the same as those of the first special figure display result determination table.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, regardless of the set value, 65317 to When the range of 65535 is set in the common numerical range with time reduction and the deviation is the second special symbol, when the game state is the normal state and the time reduction state, the set value Regardless, the range of 65317 to 65425 is set as a common numerical range for time saving. In other words, when the game state is the normal state and the time saving state, the rate at which the variable display result is not with the time saving is a common rate for any set value, so the gambling property depending on the set value can be prevented from becoming excessively high. In addition, for time-saving loss to which a common judgment value number is assigned for each set value, since it is set in a continuous numerical range from 65317, which is the time-saving loss reference value, in any setting value, variable display It is possible to reduce the processing load of the CPU 103 regarding the determination of the result as being out of time saving.

In this pachinko game machine 1, the number of setting values that can be set is 6 from 1 to 6, but the number of setting values that can be set in the pachinko game machine 1 may be 5 or less or 7 or more. . Also, the smaller the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The jackpot type may be determined at different ratios depending on the set value based on the assignment of the determination value in the jackpot type determination table. Alternatively, the jackpot type may be determined at a common rate regardless of the set value. The variation pattern may be determined at different ratios according to the set values based on the assignment of the determination values in the variation pattern determination table. Alternatively, the variation pattern may be determined with a common ratio regardless of the set value. A set value may be suggested by the frequency with which normal reach and super reach are performed by having the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach differ according to a set value. Alternatively, regardless of the setting value, the execution ratio of normal reach and super reach may be common. In addition, it may be possible to execute arbitrary setting suggestion effects at different ratios according to the set values.

(Major operations of production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated, and the effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is executed. When the production control main process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the production control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S71), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, Perform register setting of the mounted CTC (counter/timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial motion control process, control for initial motion of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined motion, 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 ON every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeated and waits.

Also, 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 occurs each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is an interrupt generated when, for example, the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 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 interrupt prohibition, but when using a CPU that does not automatically enter an interrupt prohibition state, interrupt It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interruption caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port for receiving the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I/O 125 . The effect control command taken in at this time is stored in the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt process after setting the interrupt permission.

If the timer interrupt flag is ON at step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands that are 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 command Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 so that the content specified by the production control command can be confirmed by the production control process processing or the like. It turns 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 a background corresponding 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, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, and the movable body 32 Control to operate various production devices such as driving operation of is performed. Further, determination, determination, setting, and the like are performed according to the effect control command and the like transmitted from the main substrate 11 regarding the control contents of the effect operation using various effect devices.

Random number update processing for production|presentation is performed following the production|presentation control process processing of step S76 (step S77), and at least one part of the random number for production|presentation used by the production|presentation control board 12 side is updated by software. After that, the process returns to step S73. Other processing may be performed before returning to the processing of step S73.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process processing. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Also, a process for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the effect control command.

After executing the process of step S161, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the processes of steps S170 to S175 as described below 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 variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command designating the start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11. and so on. When it is determined to start the variable display of the decoration pattern on the image display device 5, 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, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the ready-to-win effect, and various other Whether or not to execute various effects such as advance notice effects, its mode, execution start timing, etc. are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

The effect process during variable display 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 voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effects are controlled during the variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating to stop display of the fixed decorative pattern is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to the fact that the player has done so, the fixed decoration pattern which becomes the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the production process during variable display ends.

The special figure per waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving a performance control command designating the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the performance process flag is updated to "4". Further, when the waiting time for receiving the command has elapsed without receiving the command designating the start of the jackpot game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game is "lost", and the production process flag is set. is updated to the initial value "0". When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S174 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big-hit production process, the production control CPU 120 sets, for example, production control patterns corresponding to the production contents in the big-hit game state, and executes various production controls in the big-hit game state based on the set contents. In the big-hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is set to "5", which is the value corresponding to the ending production process. ”, and ends the effect processing during the big hit.

The ending effect process of step S175 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, effect control patterns corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the jackpot game state based on the set contents. Run. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

FIG. 11-3(A) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the content of the effect control command used in this characterizing section 127SG. The effect control command has, for example, a 2-byte configuration, where the first byte indicates MODE (class of command) and the second byte indicates EXT (type of command). The leading bit (bit 7) of MODE data is always set to "1", and the leading bit of EXT data is set to "0". The command form shown in FIG. 11-3(A) is an example, and other command forms may be used. Also, in this example, the control command is made up of two control signals, but the number of control signals that make up the control command may be one, or three or more.

In the example shown in FIG. 11-3 (A), the command 8001H is the first variable display start command that designates the start of variable display in the special figure game using the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A. . Command 8002H is a second variable display start command that designates the start of variable display in the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. The command 81XXH is a decoration that is variably displayed in each of the "left", "middle" and "right" decoration design display areas 5L, 5C and 5R on the image display device 5 corresponding to the variable display of the special design in the special game. It is a variation pattern specification command that specifies a variation pattern (variation time (variable display time)) such as a design (also referred to as a production design). Here, XXH indicates that it is an unspecified hexadecimal number, and may be a value that is arbitrarily set according to the contents of instructions by the effect control command. In the variation pattern specification command, different EXT data are set according to the specified variation pattern.

Command 8CXXH is a variable display result designation command, and is an effect control command for designating a variable display result such as a special design or a decorative design. In the variable display result specification command, for example, as shown in FIG. ), and different EXT data are set according to the determination result (jackpot type determination result) as to which of a plurality of types the jackpot type should be set when the variable display result is "big hit".

Among the variable display result specifying commands, for example, as shown in FIG. 11-3(B), the command 8C00H is the first variable display result specifying command indicating the predetermined result that the variable display result is "no". . The command 8C01H is a second variable display result specifying command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot A" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C02H is a third variable display result specification command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot B" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C03H is a fourth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot C" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C04H is a fifth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot D" and the jackpot type determination result. The command 8C05H is a sixth variable display result designation command for notifying the pre-determined result that the variable display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot E" and the jackpot type determination result.

The command 8F00H is a pattern confirmation command for designating the stoppage (confirmation) of the decorative patterns in the “left”, “middle” and “right” decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R of the image display device 5 . The command 95XXH is a game state designation command that designates the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1. FIG. In the game state designation command, different EXT data are set according to the current game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. As a specific example, the command 9500H is the first game state designation command corresponding to the game state (low probability low base state, normal state) in which neither the time saving control nor the probability variation control is performed, and the command 9501H is the time saving control. It is a second game state designation command corresponding to a game state (low probability high base state, short working time state) in which probability variation control is not performed while being performed. In addition, the command 9502H is the third game state designation command corresponding to the game state (high probability low base state, time saving no probability change state) where the time saving control is not performed while the probability change control is performed, and the command 9503H is time saving control and probability change It is a fourth game state designation command corresponding to the game state (high-probability-high base state, time-saving probability-variable state) in which control is performed together.

Command 9600H, when the game state is a probability variable state (high probability high base state), the game state changes from the probability variable state to a low probability state (low probability high base state if this feature part 127SG), In other words, it is a probability variable fall notification command that notifies the end of the probability variable state (fall). Command 97XXH notifies the value of the time-saving variable display count counter indicating the number of variable displays in the time-saving state (high-base state) when the game state is the time-saving state (high-probability high base state and low-probability high base state). It is a time saving number notification command.

The command A0XXH is a win start specifying command (also called a "fanfare command") specifying display of an effect image indicating the start of a big win game. The command A1XXH is a large winning opening open notification command for notifying that the large winning opening is open in the jackpot gaming state. The command A2XXH is a post-opening notification command for the big winning opening to notify that the big winning opening has changed from the open state to the closed state in the big winning game state. The command A3XXH is a win end designation command for designating display of an effect image at the end of the big win game.

In the winning start designation command and the winning end designation command, for example, by setting the same EXT data as the variable display result designation command, different EXT data may be set according to the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result. . Alternatively, in the winning start designation command and the winning end designation command, the correspondence relationship between the pre-determined result and the jackpot type determination result and the set EXT data may be different from the correspondence relationship in the variable display result designation command. . In the notification command during the opening of the big winning opening and the notification command after opening the big winning opening, for example, corresponding to the number of rounds executed in the normal opening jackpot state and the high-speed opening jackpot state (for example, "1" to "10") to be described later, Different EXT data are set.

The command B100H is based on the fact that a game ball passing through (entering) the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A is detected by the first starting opening switch 22A and a starting winning (first starting winning) occurs. It is a first start winning designation command for notifying that the first starting condition for executing the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. The command B200H is based on the fact that the game ball passing through (entering) the second starting winning opening formed by the variable winning ball device 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B and the starting winning (second starting winning) occurs. , It is a second start winning designation command for notifying that the second start condition for executing the special symbol game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied.

Command C1XXH is a first reserved storage number notification command for notifying the first special figure reserved storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure reserved storage number. Command C2XXH is a second pending storage number notification command for notifying the second special figure pending storage number in order to be able to specify the special figure pending storage number. The first pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first starting condition is satisfied, when the first starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . The second pending memory number notification command is, for example, based on the fact that the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second starting condition is satisfied, when the second starting opening winning designation command is transmitted , is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 . In addition, the first reserved memory number notification command and the second reserved memory number notification command are used when either the first start condition or the second start condition is satisfied (when the number of reserved memories decreases), the special game It may be transmitted in response to the start of execution or the like.

Instead of the first reserved storage number notification command and the second reserved storage number notification command, a total reserved storage number notification command for notifying the total reserved storage number may be transmitted. That is, a total pending storage number notification command may be used to report an increase (or decrease) in the total pending storage number.

It should be noted that the commands shown in FIG. 11-3(A) are only examples, and some of these commands may be omitted, different commands may be used in place of these commands, and these commands may be used instead of these commands. You can add commands that are different from the commands in For example, a prize ball number notification command for specifying the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the game ball entering each prize hole, or a gate for notifying that the game ball has passed through the passage gate 41. You may make it provide the notification command etc. which notify the remaining frequency|count of a passage notification command, probability variation control, and time saving control to be performed.

FIG. 11-4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 11-4, in this characteristic portion 127SG, on the main board 11 side, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, and the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination. , the random number MR4 for normal map display result determination, and the random number MR5 for probability variation fall determination, are controlled to be countable. Random numbers other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

The random number circuit 104 may count numerical data representing part or all of these random numbers MR1 to MR5. For example, the CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), to update various numerical data by software, thereby setting the random numbers MR1 to MR5. You may make it count the numerical data which show a part.

The random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a random number used for determining whether or not to control the variable display result such as the special figure in the special figure game as "big win" to the big win game state. It takes a value in the range from "1" to "65536". The random number MR2 for judging the type of jackpot is any of "jackpot A", "jackpot B", "jackpot C", "jackpot D" and "jackpot D" when the variable display result is "jackpot". It is a random number used to determine whether or not, and takes a value in the range of "1" to "100", for example.

The random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern is a random number used to determine one of a plurality of types prepared in advance for the variation pattern in the variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols. 997”.

The random number MR4 for judging the result of normal pattern display is used to determine whether the variable display result in the normal pattern display device 20 in the normal pattern display is "win" or "lose". It is a random number that can be set, and takes a value in the range of "3" to "13", for example.

Random value MR5 for probability variable fall determination ends the variable probability state (variable probability It is a random value used for determining whether or not to fall down), and takes a value in the range of "1" to "500", for example.

FIG. 11-5 (A) shows a configuration example of the special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM101. In this characteristic part 127SG, as a special figure display result determination table, a common special figure display result determination table is used for the first special figure and the second special figure, but the present invention is not limited to this , Separate special figure display result determination tables may be used for the first special figure and the second special figure.

The special figure display result determination table is a special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the determined special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not to control the variable display result as "big win" to the big win game state is determined based on the random number value MR1 for judging the special figure display result. It is a table where

In the special figure display result determination table in this characteristic portion 127SG, depending on whether the game state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a normal state or a time saving state (low probability state) or a variable probability state (high probability state), A numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number MR1 for judging the figure display result is assigned to the special figure display result of "jackpot" or "loss".

In the special figure display result determination table, the table data showing the judgment value to be compared with the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment determines whether or not to control the special figure display result to the big hit game state as "big hit". It is the judgment data assigned to the result. In the special figure display result determination table in this characteristic portion 127SG, when the gaming state is a probability variable state (high probability state), more determination values than when it is a normal state or time saving state (low probability state), " It is assigned to the special figure display result of "jackpot". As a result, in the variable probability state (high probability state) where the variable probability control is performed in the pachinko game machine 1, when the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state), the special figure display result is set as "big hit" and controlled to the big hit game state. Then, compared to the determined probability (approximately 1/300 in this characteristic portion 127SG), the probability of being determined by controlling the special figure display result as "big hit" to the big hit game state becomes higher (approximately 1 in this characteristic portion 127SG). /30). That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 is a probability variable state (high probability state), it is determined to control to a big hit game state compared to the normal state or time saving state. Judgment data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control to the jackpot game state so as to increase the probability.

FIG. 11-5(B) shows a configuration example of the variable probability fall determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. The probability variable fall determination table controls the game state to a low probability state (low probability high base state) from the next variable display when the variable display result is lost in the probability variable state (also known as "winning the probability variable fall" is a table used for determining whether or not In the probability variable fall determination table in this characteristic portion 127SG, only the judgment value "1" is assigned to the winning of the probability variable fall among the possible range of 1 to 500 of the random value MR5, and other numerical values ("2 ” to “500”) are assigned to the non-election of the variable fall. In other words, in the variable probability state in the characteristic portion 127SG, the probability variable fall is won at a rate of 1/500 per one variable display.

FIG. 11-6(A) shows a configuration example of a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. FIG. The jackpot type determination table in the present characteristic portion 127SG selects any of a plurality of types of jackpot types based on the random number MR2 for jackpot type determination when it is determined to control the special figure display result as "jackpot" to the jackpot game state. It is a table that is referenced to determine whether In the big hit type determination table, the special symbol for which variable display (variable display) is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (second 2 special symbol display device 4B), the numerical value (judgment value) to be compared with the random number MR2 for judging the type of big hit is "big hit A", "big hit B", or "big hit C". ", "jackpot D", and "jackpot E".

Here, the jackpot type in the characteristic portion 127SG will be described with reference to FIG. 11-6(B). In this characteristic part 127SG, as the jackpot type, the game ball enters the second big prize gate (so-called V prize) in the first round of the jackpot game state, and after the jackpot game is over, the falling lottery is won. A jackpot A, a jackpot B, a jackpot C, a jackpot D, and a jackpot E for which control is executed are provided.

In addition, when the variable display result of the jackpot A to jackpot D does not result in a jackpot, time-saving control is executed in the variable display up to the 100th time after the jackpot game is finished, and in the variable display after the 101st time after the jackpot game is finished. It is a big hit in which the time reduction control is continued until the fall lottery is won. In addition, in the jackpot A to jackpot D, if the game ball does not enter the second big prize opening during the jackpot game, or if the falling lottery is won in the variable display up to the 100th time, the time saving control is applied to the 100 It is a big hit that ends with the variable display of the first time and the game state is controlled to the normal state.

In addition, when the variable display result does not result in a big win, the big win E is controlled by probability variation until the fall lottery is won after the end of the big win game. It is a big hit in which the time saving control is executed until the 10000th variable display.

When the result of the variable display after the end of the big win game of the big wins A to E is a big win, the variable probability control and the time reduction control are terminated regardless of the number of times of variable display after the end of the big win game.

Also, the jackpot game state by the jackpot A is a four-round normally open jackpot in which the first jackpot 127SG007A is changed from the closed state to the open state in which the game ball can win in the first to fourth rounds, and the jackpot B. In the jackpot game state, the second big winning port 127SG007B is changed from the closed state to the open state where the game ball can win in the first round, and the first big winning port 127SG007A is closed in the second to fourth rounds. 4 rounds of normal open big hits in which the game balls are changed from the state to the open state where the game balls can win. In the second round to the sixth round, the first big winning port 127SG007A is changed from the closed state to the open state in which the game ball can win, and the big winning game state by the big winning D. In the 1st round, the second big winning port 127SG007B is changed from the closed state to the open state where the game ball can win, and the game ball is changed from the closed state to the 1st big winning port 127SG007A in the 2nd to 10th rounds. It is a 10-round normal open jackpot that changes to a prize-winning open state, and the jackpot game state by the jackpot E changes the second big prize-winning port 127SG007B from the closed state to the open state where the game ball can win in the first round. In addition, it is a 10-round normal open jackpot that changes the first big winning port 127SG007A from a closed state to an open state in which game balls can win in the 2nd to 10th rounds.

That is, the jackpot game state of the jackpot A in the present characteristic portion 127SG, because the game ball does not enter the second big winning opening 127SG007B in the first round, after the jackpot game ends, the time saving of the variable probability control and the time saving control It is a jackpot (substantially non-probable variable jackpot) in which only control is performed, and jackpot B to jackpot E are game balls that can enter the second jackpot 127SG007B in the first round, so the jackpot game ends. Later, it is a jackpot (substantial probability variable jackpot) in which both probability variable control and time saving control are implemented. In addition, as described above, since the variable probability control after the end of the jackpot game is not executed unless the game ball enters the second jackpot 127SG007B in the first round, the first round of jackpot B to jackpot E during the jackpot game It is also possible that the game ball does not enter the second big winning hole 127SG007B, and only the time saving control is executed after the big winning game ends.

In this feature part 127SG, at least time saving control is executed after the end of the big hit game state, so that the maximum jackpot occurs while the time saving control is being executed, so that the time saving control ( and variable probability control) is executed, and the jackpot game state occurs continuously without going through the normal state, which is the so-called consecutive game state.

In addition, in the characterizing part 127SG of the present embodiment, a form in which five types of jackpot A to jackpot E are provided as jackpot types is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and there are four jackpot types. You may provide less than a kind or six kinds or more.

In the setting example of the big hit type determination table shown in FIG. C, jackpot D, and jackpot E are assigned different determination values for the jackpot types. That is, when the special figure to be variably displayed is the first special figure, 1 to 50 out of the possible range of 1 to 100 of the random number MR2 for judging the type of the big hit are assigned to the big hit A, 51 to 95 are assigned to the jackpot B, and 96 to 100 are assigned to the jackpot E. On the other hand, when the special figure variably displayed is the second special figure, 1 to 30 out of the possible range of 1 to 100 of the random number MR2 for judging the type of the big hit are assigned to the big hit C. , 31 to 90 are assigned to the jackpot D, and 91 to 100 are assigned to the jackpot E.

In other words, when the variable display result is a big hit in the variable display of the first special symbol, the game ball wins the second big winning hole 127SG007B in the first round of the big winning game state with a probability of 50%, so that the big winning game is played. Both probability variable control and time saving control are implemented after the end. Furthermore, when the variable display result is a big win in the variable display of the second special symbol, the game ball wins the second big winning hole 189SG007B in the first round of the big win game state with a probability of 100%, so that the big win game is played. Both probability variable control and time saving control are implemented after the end.

FIG. 11-7 shows the variation pattern in this characteristic portion 127SG. In this characteristic portion 127SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "loss", the variable A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to the case where the display result is a "big hit". In addition, the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"), A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "lost" and the variation display mode of the decoration pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as "reach loss variation pattern"). Also, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the loss variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss". A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern.

In addition, the super reach γ variation pattern is a variation pattern in which a variable display result is notified by executing a variable fall suggestion effect that suggests that the fall lottery has been won as a reach effect of the super reach γ, and the super reach δ. As for the variation pattern, as the reach effect of super reach γ, a variable fall suggestion effect that suggests that the fall lottery has been won is executed, and the fact that the fall lottery has been won is once notified, and then as the reach effect of super reach δ, This is a variation pattern for executing a resurrection suggesting effect suggesting that the variable display result is a big hit, and announcing the variable display result.

As shown in FIG. 11-7, the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach production of the normal reach in this characteristic portion 127SG is executed is set shorter than the super reach fluctuation pattern.

In addition, in this characteristic portion 127SG, since it is set so that the degree of expectation for a big hit in which the variable display result is "big hit" in the order of super reach, normal reach, and non-reach, in the normal reach fluctuation pattern and the super reach fluctuation pattern The longer the special figure fluctuation time, the higher the expectation of a big hit.

FIG. 11-10 is a flow chart showing an example of the processing executed in S110 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol normal processing. In the special symbol normal process shown in FIG. 11-10, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the second special symbol pending storage number is "0" (step 127 SGS141). The number of second special symbol pending storage is the number of pending storage of the special symbol game using the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device 4B. For example, in the process of step 127 SGS141, it is sufficient to read out the second reserved storage number count value stored in the game control counter setting section and determine whether or not the read value is "0".

When the second special figure pending storage number is other than "0" at step 127SGS141 (step 127SGS141; N), the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the second special figure pending storage unit Random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, and random number MR5 for probability variation fall determination are read out respectively (step 127 SGS142). . The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Subsequent to the processing of step 127 SGS142, by subtracting 1 from the second special figure reserved memory number count value and the total reserved memory number count value and updating it, subtract 1 from the second special figure reserved memory number and the total reserved memory number Update so as to allow, and update the data of the second special figure reservation storage unit. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the second special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward one entry at a time (step 127 SGS143).

Then, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "2" (step 127SGS144), it moves to step 127SGS149a.

On the other hand, when the second special figure pending memory number is "0" at step 127SGS141 (step 127SGS141; Y), it is determined whether or not the first special figure pending memory number is "0" (step 127SGS145). . The number of first special figure reserved storage is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A. For example, in the process of step 127 SGS145, if the game control counter setting unit reads the first reserved memory number count value stored in the first reserved memory number counter and determines whether or not the read value is "0" good. Thus, the processing of step 127SGS145 is executed when it is determined that the second special figure pending storage number is "0" at step 127SGS141, and the first special figure pending storage number is "0". Determine whether or not As a result, the special figure game using the second special figure is started to be executed with priority over the special figure game using the first special figure.

In addition, the special game using the second special figure is not limited to being executed with priority over the special game using the first special figure. Execution of the special figure game may be started in the order in which the game ball enters (passes) and the starting prize is generated. In this case, a table is provided for storing data capable of specifying the order in which the starting prizes are generated, and execution of the special figure game using either the first special figure or the second special figure is started from the stored data. It should be possible to determine whether

When the first special figure pending storage number is other than "0" at step 127SGS145 (step 127SGS145; N), the pending data stored corresponding to the pending number "1" in the first special figure pending storage unit Random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, random number MR2 for jackpot type determination, random number MR3 for variation pattern determination, and random number MR5 for probability variation fall determination are read out respectively (step 127 SGS146). . The numerical data read at this time may be temporarily stored in, for example, a variable random number buffer.

Subsequent to the processing of step 127 SGS146, by subtracting 1 from the 1st special figure pending memory number count value and the total pending memory number count value and updating it, etc., subtract 1 from the 1st special figure pending memory number and the total pending memory number Update so as to allow, and update the data in the first special figure reservation storage unit. Specifically, the random numbers MR1 to MR3 stored in the entries lower than the reservation number "1" in the first special figure reservation storage unit (for example, the entries corresponding to the reservation numbers "2" to "4") are shown. The pending data is shifted upward by one entry (step 127SGS147).

Then, after updating the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value which is the storage value of the fluctuation special figure designation buffer to "1" (step 127SGS148), it moves to step 127SGS149a.

In step 127 SGS 149a, it is determined whether or not either the time saving A flag or the time saving B flag is on. Incidentally, the time saving A flag is a time saving flag indicating that it is a high base state (probability variable state including time saving state A) after the end of any one of the jackpot games A to D. The time-saving B flag means that 900 times of variable display is executed without being controlled to a jackpot game state from the execution of the cold start (RAM clear) of the pachinko game machine 1 or the end of the variable probability state. Or, it is a time saving flag indicating that it is a time saving state B controlled according to the execution of 800 times of variable display without being controlled to the jackpot game state from the end of the time saving state A.

If the time saving A flag or the time saving B flag is on (step 127SGS149a; Y), the value of the time saving variable display number counter indicating the number of times of variable display in the time saving state is +1, and the process proceeds to step 127SGS149c (step 127SGS149b). When both A flag and time saving B flag are off (step 127SGS149a; N), it progresses to step 127SGS149c without going through step 127SGS149b.

In step 127 SGS149c, the table used for determining whether the special symbol display result, which is the variable display result of the special symbols, is a "jackpot" or a "lose" is used as a special symbol display result determination table shown in FIG. 11-5. Select and set a table. Subsequently, numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for special figure display result judgment stored in the variable random number buffer is compared with the judgment value assigned to each special figure display result of "big hit" or "loss" , determines whether the special figure display result is a "jackpot" or a "loss" (step 127 SGS150a). In addition, in this step 127 SGS150a, if the game state at that time is a high probability state (variable probability state) in which the variable probability flag is on, the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination is a high probability state (variable probability state ), it is determined as a “big hit” if it falls within the range of 10000 to 12180, and if not, it is determined as a “loss”. Also, if the probability variation flag is off low probability state (if this feature is low probability high base state (time saving state A, time saving state B), low probability low base state), for special figure display result determination If the random number MR1 falls within the range of 1 to 219, it is determined as a "big hit", and if not, it is determined as a "loss".

Thus, in the special figure display result determination table 1 selected in step 127SGS149c, different determination values are assigned to "big hit" corresponding to the game state (high probability, low probability) at that time. , in the process of step 127 SGS150a, depending on whether the game state when the variable display of the special game or the like is started is a high probability state, using different determination data (determination value) special figure display result is determined to be a ``big hit'', when the game state is a high-probability state, it is determined (determined) as a ``big hit'' with a higher probability than when it is a low-probability state.

When it is judged to be a "jackpot" at step 127SGS150a (step 127SGS150a; Y), the jackpot flag is turned on (step 127SGS152). At this time, the jackpot type determination table shown in FIG. 11-6(A) is selected and set as a use table for determining one of a plurality of jackpot types (step 127 SGS153). By referring to the jackpot type determination table set in this way, numerical data indicating the random number value MR2 for jackpot type determination stored in the variable random number buffer, and "jackpot A" and "jackpot B" in the jackpot type determination table. , ``jackpot C'', ``jackpot D'', and ``jackpot E'', which one of the plurality of jackpot types is determined according to which one of the judgment values assigned to each jackpot type matches (step 127 SGS 154).

By determining the jackpot type in the process of step 127 SGS154, the game state after the end of the jackpot game state is the time saving state A or the time saving state B (both are low probability high base state), and the player is more than these time saving states. Which game state is to be controlled from the probability variable state (high probability/high base state) having a high degree of advantage for is determined before the fixed special symbol as a variable display result is derived. Corresponding to the determined jackpot type, for example, by setting the jackpot type buffer value, which is the stored value of the jackpot type buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit (step 127 SGS155), the determined jackpot type Remember. As an example, if the jackpot type is jackpot A, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "0", if the jackpot type is jackpot B, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "1", and if the jackpot type is jackpot C, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "2". If the jackpot is D, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "3", if the jackpot is D, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "4", and if the jackpot is E, the jackpot type buffer value is set to "5". After the processing of step 127SGS155, the process proceeds to step 127SGS156.

Moreover, when it is determined to be "missed" at step 127SGS150a (step 127SGS150a; N), it is determined whether or not the variable probability flag is on (step 127SGS150b). If the variable probability flag is off (step 127SGS150b; N), proceed to step 127SGS156, and if the variable probability flag is on (step 127SGS150b; Y), select the fall determination table shown in FIG. set. Then, the numerical data of the random number MR5 for judging the variable drop is compared with each judgment value assigned to "winning" and "non-winning", and the result of the variable falling lottery is determined to be either "winning" or "non-winning". (Step 127SGS 150c). If the probability variable drop lottery is not won (step 127SGS150c; N), the process proceeds to step 127SGS156, and if the probability variable drop lottery is won (step 127SGS150c; Y), the fall winning flag indicating that the probability variable drop lottery has been won is turned on. (Step 127SGS151a), the transmission setting of the drop notification command is performed, and the process proceeds to Step 127SGS156 (Step 127SGS151b).

In addition, the falling notification command set for transmission in step 127 SGS151b is transmitted to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control processing shown in FIG.

In step 127 SGS156, the CPU 103 responds to the result of prior determination of whether or not to control to the big win game state (whether or not the big win flag is turned on), and the decision result of the big win type in the case of setting the big win game state. , Set a fixed special pattern. As an example, in response to the pre-determined result that the special figure display result is to be "missed", a special symbol indicating a sign of "-", which is a lost symbol, is set as a fixed special symbol. Further, when it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" at step 127SGS150a, when the big hit type at step 127SGS154 is big hit A, the special symbol showing the number "1" is confirmed. set to Also, when the big win type is the big win B, the special symbol indicating the number "2" is set as the fixed special symbol. Also, when the big win type is the big win C, the special symbol indicating the number "3" is set as the fixed special symbol. Also, when the jackpot type is the jackpot D, the special symbol indicating the number "4" is set as the fixed special symbol. Also, when the big win type is the big win E, the special symbol indicating the number "5" is set as the fixed special symbol. Incidentally, these fixed special symbols are examples, and fixed special symbols other than these may be set, and a plurality of types of symbols may be set as the fixed special symbols.

After setting the fixed special symbol in step 127SGS156, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "1" which is the value corresponding to the variation pattern setting process (step 127SGS157), the special symbol normal process is terminated. .

It should be noted that when the reserved memory number of the special figure game using the first special figure in step 127SGS145 is "0" (step 127SGS145; Y), after performing a predetermined demonstration display setting (step 127SGS158), End the special symbol normal process. In this demonstration display setting, for example, an effect control command (customer waiting demo designation command) for designating a demonstration display (demonstration screen display) by displaying a predetermined effect image on the image display device 5 is transmitted from the main board 11 to effect control. It is determined whether or not the transmission to the substrate 12 has been completed. At this time, if the customer waiting demonstration designation command has already been transmitted, the demonstration display setting is finished as it is. On the other hand, if the command has not been transmitted, the setting for transmitting the customer waiting demonstration designation command is performed, and then the demonstration display setting is completed.

FIGS. 11-11 and 11-12 are flowcharts showing an example of the process executed in step S111 of FIG. 6 as the variation pattern setting process. In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIGS. 11-11 and 11-12, the CPU 103 first determines whether or not the big hit flag is turned on (step 127SGS161). Then, if the big hit flag is turned on (step 127SGS161; Y), it is further determined whether or not the time saving A flag or the time saving B flag is on (step 127SGS162a). If the time saving A flag or the time saving B flag is off (step 127SGS162a; N), select the big hit variation pattern determination table A and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS164d).

Moreover, when the time saving A flag or the time saving B flag is on (step 127SGS162a; Y), it is determined whether the time saving B flag is on (step 127SGS162b). If the time saving B flag is off (step 127 SGS162b; N), whether the value of the time saving variable display number counter is 101 or more, that is, the variable display after the 101st time in the time saving state including the probability variable state It is determined whether or not it is a variable display (step 127SGS162c). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 or less (step 127SGS162c; N), it is further determined whether or not the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 (step 127SGS162d). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 99 or less, that is, if the variable display is the 1st to 99th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 127 SGS162d; N), the big hit variation pattern determination table B Select and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS163a). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100, that is, if the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 127 SGS162c; Y), the big hit variation pattern determination table C Select and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS163b).

In addition, if the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 101 or more in step 127SGS162c (step 127SGS162c; Y), it is further determined whether the game state is the probability changing state after the big hit E or the time-saving state A after the big hit game ends. judge. (Step 127 SGS 163c). It should be noted that whether or not the game state is the variable probability state or the time saving state A after the end of the jackpot game of the jackpot E may be determined according to the jackpot type stored in the special symbol stop processing described later. When the game state is not the variable probability state or the time saving state A after the end of the jackpot game of the jackpot E (step 127SGS163c; N), select the big hit variation pattern determination table D and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS163d), If the game state is the probability variable state or the time saving state A after the jackpot E is finished (step 127SGS163c; Y), select the big hit variation pattern determination table E and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS163e).

Also, if the time saving B flag is ON in step 127SGS162b (step 127SGS162b; Y), whether the value of the time saving variable display number counter is 1100 or not, that is, in the 1100th variable display in the time saving state A It is determined whether or not there is (step 127 SGS 164a). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is not 1100 (step 127SGS164a; N), select the big hit variation pattern determination table F and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS164b), and the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 1100. If there is (step 127SGS164a; Y), select the big hit variation pattern determination table G and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SG164c).

In the judgment in step 127SGS161, if the jackpot flag is not turned on (step 127SGS161; N), it is judged whether or not the time saving A flag or the time saving B flag is turned on (step 127SGS165a). And if the time saving flag A or the time saving B flag is turned on (step 127SGS165a; Y), it will be determined whether the time saving B flag is on (step 127SGS165b). If the time saving B flag is not on, that is, if the time saving A flag is on (step 127 SGS165b; N), it is determined whether the value of the time saving variable display number counter is 101 or more (step 127 SGS165c ). When the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 or less (step 127SGS165c; N), it is further determined whether the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 (step 127SG165d). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 99 or less, that is, if the variable display is the 1st to 99th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 127SGS165d; N), variation pattern determination for loss Select table D and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS166e).

If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 in step 127SGS165d, that is, if the variable display is the 100th variable display in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 127SGS165d; Y), variation pattern determination for deviation Select table E and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS165f).

Also, if the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 101 or more in step 127SGS165c, that is, if the variable display is the variable display after the 101st time in the time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 127SGS165c; Y), the game It is determined whether or not the state is the variable probability state after the end of the jackpot game of jackpot E or the time saving state A (step 127 SGS166a). When the game state is neither the variable probability state after the jackpot game of jackpot E nor the time saving state A (step 127SGS166a; N), it is determined whether or not the falling winning flag is on (step 127SGS166b). If the fall winning flag is ON, that is, if it is determined that the probability variation flag will be OFF at the end of the variable display (step 127 SGS166b; Y), select the variation pattern determination table F for losing and step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS166c). Also, when the falling winning flag is in the OFF state (step 127SGS166b; N), select the variation pattern determination table G for loss and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS166d). If the game state is the probability variable state or time saving state A after the jackpot game of jackpot E is finished (step 127SGS166a; Y), select the variation pattern determination table H for loss and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS166e).

Also, if the time saving B flag is on in step 127SGS165b (step 127SGS165b; Y), whether the value of the time saving variable display number counter is 1100, that is, whether the variable display is the 1100th time in the time saving state B It is determined whether or not it is a variable display (step 127SGS167a). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is not 1100 (step 127SGS167a; N), select the deviation pattern determination table I and proceed to step 127SGS175, if the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 1100 (step 127SGS167a; Y) selects the deviation pattern determination table J and proceeds to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS167c).

Also, if the time saving flag is off in step 127SGS165a (step 127SGS165a; N), for example provided in the game control counter setting unit, by reading the stored value of the variable special figure pending storage number counter, etc. The reserved memory number of the special figure is specified, and it is determined whether or not the reserved memory number of the specified fluctuation special figure is 1 or 2 (step 127 SGS170).

If the number of pending memories of the specified fluctuation special figure is 1 or 2 (step 127 SGS170; N), the fluctuation pattern judgment table A for loss is used as a table used for determining one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns. Select and proceed to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS171).

In addition, when the reserved storage number of the specified fluctuation special figure is not 1 or 2 (step 127SGS170; N), it is further determined whether or not the reserved storage number of the specified fluctuation special figure is 3 (step 127SGS172 ).

If the number of pending memories of the specified fluctuation special figure is 3 (step 127 SGS172; Y), the fluctuation pattern determination table B for loss is selected as the table used for determining one of a plurality of types of fluctuation patterns. Then, the process proceeds to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS173).

Also, if the number of pending memories of the identified fluctuation special figure is not 3, that is, if the number of reserved memories of the specified fluctuation special figure is 4 (step 127 SGS172; N), the fluctuation pattern is any of a plurality of types As a table to be used for determining , change pattern determination table C for loss is selected, and the process proceeds to step 127SGS175 (step 127SGS174).

In the process of step 127 SGS175, for example, based on the numerical data indicating the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern stored in the random number buffer for variation, etc., the variation pattern determination table for the big hit or the variation pattern for the loss is selected (set) By referring to the determination table, one of a plurality of types of variation patterns is determined (step 127SGS175).

Incidentally, when the big hit flag is off, it is determined whether or not the variable display mode of the decoration pattern is set to "reach" by determining the variation pattern in the process of step 127 SGS175. That is, the process of step 127 SGS170 includes a process of determining whether or not the variable display state of the decoration pattern should be the ready-to-win state when the variable display result is "loss".

After determining the variation pattern in step 127SGS175, according to the variation special symbol designation buffer value, the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B The setting for starting the variation of the special symbol is performed so as to start any of the special symbol games using the second special symbol (step 127 SGS176). As an example, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the setting for transmitting the drive signal to update the display of the first special figure in the first special symbol display device 4A is performed. On the other hand, if the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the setting for transmitting the drive signal for updating the display of the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B is performed.

Following the processing of step 127 SGS176, settings are made for transmitting various commands for when the special symbols start to fluctuate (step 127 SGS177). For example, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "1", the CPU 103, from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12, the game state designation command, the first variable display start command, the fluctuation pattern designation command, the variable display A setting indicating the storage address (top address) in the ROM 101 of the command table for starting the first variation prepared in advance in order to sequentially transmit the result designation command, the variable display number notification command during time saving, and the first reservation storage number notification command The data is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting section. On the other hand, when the variable special figure designation buffer value is "2", the CPU 103 sends the game state designation command, the second variable display start command, the fluctuation pattern designation command, and the variable display from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12. In order to sequentially transmit the result designation command, the variable display number notification command during time saving, and the second reservation storage number notification command, the setting data indicating the storage address in the ROM 101 of the second fluctuation start command table prepared in advance is set in the game. The data is stored in the buffer area designated by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer provided in the control buffer setting unit.

After executing the process of step 127 SGS177, the special figure fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol corresponding to the determination result of the fluctuation pattern, is set (step 127 SGS178). The special symbol fluctuation time, which is the variable display time of the special symbol, is the required time from the start of the variable display of the special symbol in the special symbol game until the fixed special symbol, which is the variable display result (special symbol display result), is stopped and displayed. It's time. Thereafter, after updating the value of the special figure process flag to "2" which is the value corresponding to the special symbol variation process (step 127 SGS179), the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

Based on the command transmission setting in step 127SGS177, every time the command control process of step S27 shown in FIG. A designation command, a first variable display start command or a second variable display start command, a variation pattern designation command, a variable display result designation command, a first reserved memory number notification command or a second reserved memory number notification command are sequentially transmitted. It will be. The order in which these effect control commands are transmitted can be arbitrarily changed. The commands may be transmitted in the order of the designation command, the game state designation command, the first reserved memory count notification command, or the second reserved memory count notification command.

FIGS. 11-13 and 11-14 are flowcharts showing an example of the process executed in step S113 of FIG. 6 as the special symbol stop process. In the special symbol stop processing, the CPU 103 turns on the end flag referred to in the special symbol variation processing of step S112 to end the variation of the special symbols, and the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B The stop symbol is stopped and displayed (step 127 SGS180). In addition, when the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is "1" indicating the first special figure, the fluctuation of the first special design in the first special design display device 4A is ended, and the fluctuation special figure designation buffer value is When it is "2" indicating the second special symbol, the variation of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display device 4B is ended. In addition, the control which transmits the design decision command to production control board 12 is done (step 127SGS181).

Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is turned on (step 127 SGS182). When the jackpot flag is turned on (step 127 SGS182; Y), the CPU 103 clears the probability variable flag and the time reduction flag (time reduction A flag, time reduction B flag) if the probability change flag and the time reduction flag are turned on. (Step 127 SGS184), and according to the type of jackpot, a winning start 1 designation command (jackpot A), a winning start 2 designation command (jackpot B), a winning start 3 designation command (jackpot C), and a winning start 4 designation. Settings for transmitting a command (jackpot D) and a win start 5 designation command (jackpot E) are made (step 127 SGS185). Also, the jackpot types corresponding to these hit start designation commands are stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 (step 127 SGS185).

Further, the CPU 103 performs setting for transmitting a game state specifying command indicating a normal state to the effect control board 12 (step 127 SGS186).

Then, a value corresponding to the jackpot display time (time for notifying the occurrence of the jackpot on the image display device 5, for example) is set in the jackpot display time timer (step 127 SGS187). In addition, the number of opening times (for example, 4 times for big wins A and B, 6 times for big wins C, 10 times for big wins D and E) is set in the big win opening times counter. (step 127 SGS 188). Then, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "4" (step 127 SGS189) corresponding to the big hit opening pre-processing (step S114), and the special symbol stop processing ends.

On the other hand, when the jackpot flag is off (step 127SGS182; N), the CPU 103 determines whether or not the variable probability flag is on (step 127SGS190a). If the variable probability flag is ON (step 127SGS190a; Y), it is determined whether or not the falling winning flag is ON (step 127SGS190b). When the falling winning flag is on (step 127SGS190b; Y), the falling winning flag is turned off, the variable probability flag is turned off, and the process proceeds to step 127SGS191 (step 127SGS190c, step 127SGS190d). If the falling winning flag is off (step 127SGS190b; N), the process proceeds to step 127SGS191 without executing the processes of steps 127SGS190c and 127SGS190d.

At step 127SGS191, the CPU 103 determines whether or not any numerical value is set in the time reduction variable display counter (step 127SGS191). If no value is set in the time-saving variable display number counter, that is, if it is not a time-saving state including the probability variable state (step 127SGS191; N), proceed to step 127SGS195, and any value is set in the time-saving variable display number counter If it is set (step 127SGS191; Y), the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is incremented by 1 (step 127SGS192), and it is determined whether or not the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 100 or more (step 127SGS193). ). If the value of the time-saving variable display counter is 99 or less (step 127SGS193; N), proceed to step 127SGS195. It is determined whether or not it is off (step 127SGS193a).

If the variable probability flag is on (step 127SGS193a; Y), proceed to step 127SGS195, and if the variable probability flag is off (step 127SGS193a; Y), turn off the time saving flag and clear the time saving variable display counter ( Step 127SGS194, step 127SGS194a). Then, the value of the relief time reduction arrival determination counter is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step 127SGS195 (step 127SGS194b).

In the process of step 127 SGS195, the transmission setting of the game state designation command corresponding to the game state (specifically, the low probability low base state) corresponding to the state of the variable probability flag or the time saving flag is set (step 127 SGS196). Then, after updating the value of the special symbol process flag to "0" which is a value corresponding to the special symbol normal processing, the special symbol stop processing is terminated (step 127 SGS196).

Also, in step 127SGS190a, if the variable probability flag is in the OFF state (step 127SGS190a; N), it is determined whether any value is set in the time reduction variable display frequency counter (step 127SGS190a). If any value is set in the time-saving variable display number counter (step 127SGS197a; Y), the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is +1 and proceeds to step 128SGS197c (step 127SGS197b), and the time-saving variable display number counter If neither value is set (step 127SGS197a; N), the process proceeds to step 127SGS197c without going through the processing of step 127SGS197b.

In the process of step 127SGS197c, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the time saving B flag is on (step 127SGS197c). If the time saving B flag is off (step 127SGS197c; N), it is further determined whether or not the time saving A flag is on (step 127SGS197d). If the time saving A flag is not on, that is, if the gaming state is a normal state (low probability low base state) (step 127SGS197d; N), proceed to step 127SGS198a, if the time saving A flag is on, That is, when the game state is the time saving state A (step 127SGS197d; Y), it is determined whether or not the game state is the time saving state A after the jackpot E (step 127SGS197e).

If the game state is not the time saving state A after the jackpot game of the jackpot E (step 127 SGS197e; N), it further determines whether the value of the time saving variable display number counter is 100, that is, the variable display is the 100th variable. It is determined whether or not it is display (step 127SGS197f). If the value of the time-saving variable display frequency counter is 100 (step 127SGS197f; Y), turn off the time-saving A flag (control the game state from the time-saving state A to the normal state) and proceed to step 127SGS198a for time-saving variable display. If the value of the number counter is 99 or less (step 127SGS197f; N), the process proceeds to step 127SGS198a without going through step 127SGS197e.

Also, if the game state is the time-saving state A after the jackpot game E (step 127SGS197e; Y), it is determined whether or not the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 10000 (step 127SGS197h). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 10000 (step 127SGS197h; Y), turn off the time-saving A flag and proceed to step 127SGS198a (step 127SGS197i), if the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 9999 or less (Step 127SGS197h; N) goes to step 127SGS198a without going through the process of step 127SGS197i.

Then, in the processing of step 127SGS198a, the value of the relief time reduction arrival determination counter is incremented by 1 (step 127SGS198a), and it is determined whether the value of the relief time reduction arrival determination counter obtained by increasing the value by 1 is 900 (step 127SGS198b ). If the value of the relief time reduction reach determination counter is 900 (step 127SGS198b; Y), turn on the time reduction B flag and set the value of the time reduction variable display number counter to 0 and proceed to step 127SGS195 (step 127SGS198c, step 127 SGS 198d). In addition, when the value of the relief time reduction reach|attainment determination counter is 899 or less (step 127SGS168b), it progresses to step 127SGS195, bypassing the process of step 127SGS198c and step 127SGS198d.

If the time saving B flag is ON at step 127SGS197c (step 127SGS197c; Y), it is determined whether or not the value of the time saving variable display frequency counter is 1100 (step 127SGS199a). If the value of the time-saving variable display number counter is 1100 (step 127SGS199a; Y), turn off the time-saving B flag and proceed to step 127SGS195. ) proceeds to step 127SGS195 without going through the processing of step 127SGS199b.

In addition, when proceeding to step 127SGS195, the processing of steps 127SGS195 and step 127SGS196 should be executed to end the special symbol stop processing.

FIGS. 11-15 are flow charts showing an example of the process executed in S117 of FIG. 6 as the jackpot ending process.

In the jackpot end processing, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the jackpot end display timer is in operation, that is, the timer is counting (step 127 SGS201). When the jackpot end display timer is not in operation (step 127 SGS201; N), the value corresponding to the display time corresponding to the time (jackpot end display time) for displaying the jackpot end display on the image display device 5. is set (step 127 SGS202), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the jackpot end display timer is in operation (step 127SGS201; Y), the value of the jackpot end display timer is subtracted by 1 (step 127SGS203). Then, the CPU 103 confirms whether or not the value of the big win end display timer is 0, that is, whether or not the big win end display time has elapsed (step 127 SGS204). If it has not passed, the process is terminated.

If the jackpot end display time has elapsed (step 127SGS204; Y), the CPU 103 determines whether or not a V win has occurred during the jackpot game (step 127SGS205).

When V winning occurs during the jackpot game (step 127SGS205; Y), the variable probability flag is turned on (step 127SGS207), the time saving A flag is turned on (step 127SGS208), and the process proceeds to step 127SGS212.

On the other hand, when no V winning occurs during the jackpot game (step 127SGS205; N), after setting the value of the relief time reduction arrival determination counter to 0, the time reduction A flag is turned on, and the process proceeds to step 127SGS212. Proceed (step 127SGS211a, step 127SGS211b).

In step 127 SGS212, "0" is set to the time reduction variable display frequency counter. Then, the jackpot flag is turned off, and transmission setting of the jackpot end designation command corresponding to the jackpot type is performed (step 127SGS213, step 127SGS214). Furthermore, after setting the transmission setting of the game state designation command for notifying the effect control board 12 of the game state based on the probability change flag and the time saving flag that are turned on (step 127 SGS215), the value of the special process flag is changed to a special It is updated to "0" which is a value corresponding to the symbol normal processing (step 127SGS216).

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present characteristic portion 127SG is, as shown in FIGS. Based on this, when the variable display result becomes a big hit, if a V prize is generated during the big win game, the game state is controlled to a probability variable state (high probability high base state) after the big win game is over, and a V prize is generated during the big win game. If not, the game state is controlled to the time saving state A (low probability high base state) after the end of the big hit game.

In addition, when the pachinko game machine 1 is cold-started (RAM cleared) or when the variable probability state ends, the variable display result does not become a big hit in the normal state, and the variable display is executed 900 times, or the game is played from the time-saving state A. After the state is controlled to the normal state, the variable display result does not become a big hit and the variable display is executed 800 times, whereby the game state is controlled from the normal state to the time saving state B (low probability high base state).

In the variable probability state, when the result of the variable display becomes a big win based on the variable display of the second special symbol, if V winning occurs during the big win game, the game state after the end of the big win game is controlled to the variable probability state, and the big win is achieved. If V winning is not generated during the game, the game state after the end of the big win game is controlled to the time saving state A.例文帳に追加

In addition, in the probability variable state, when the fall lottery is won in the 1st to 100th variable display, the game state is controlled to the time-saving state A (low probability high base state) from the next variable display after winning the fall lottery. Further, when the 100th variable display is executed without the variable display result becoming a big hit, the game state is controlled to the normal state. On the other hand, when the fall lottery is won in the 101st or later variable display in the probability variable state, the game state is controlled to the normal state according to the end of the variable display.

In the time-saving state A, when the result of the variable display becomes a big hit based on the variable display of the second special symbol, if V winning occurs during the big win game, the game state after the end of the big win game is controlled to a variable probability state. If no V prize is generated during the big win game, the game state after the big win game is finished is controlled to the time saving state A.例文帳に追加

Further, when the time saving state A is the time saving state A after the end of any one of the jackpot games A to D, the variable display result does not become a jackpot after being controlled to the variable probability state or the time saving state A for the 100th time. is executed, the game state is controlled from the time saving state A to the normal state. On the other hand, when the time saving state A is the time saving state A after the jackpot game of the big win E is finished, the 10000th variable display is executed without the variable display result being a big win after being controlled to the time saving state A. Then, the game state is controlled from the time saving state A to the normal state.

In the time-saving state B, when the result of the variable display becomes a big hit based on the variable display of the second special symbol, if a V winning occurs during the big win game, the game state after the end of the big win game is controlled to a variable probability state. If no V prize is generated during the big win game, the game state after the big win game is finished is controlled to the time saving state A.例文帳に追加Further, in the time saving state B, when the variable display is executed for the 1100th time without the variable display result becoming a big hit after being controlled to the time saving state B, the game state is controlled from the time saving state B to the normal state. .

Next, operation|movement of CPU120 for production|presentation control is demonstrated. 11-17 to 11-19 are flowcharts showing the variable display start setting process (step S171) in the effect control process shown in FIG. In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is ON (step 127SGS271). If the first variable display start command reception flag is ON (step 127 SGS271; Y), for example, the buffer number of the first special figure reservation storage in the start winning time reception command buffer "1-0" to "1-4 , are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 127 SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is off at step 127SGS271 (step 127SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 127SGS273). If the second variable display start command reception flag is off (step 127SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and if the second variable display start command reception flag is on (step 127SGS273; Y ), for example, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure reservation storage in the start winning command buffer, buffer number 1 It is shifted upward by pieces (step 127SGS274). The contents of the buffer number "2-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

After executing step 127SGS272 or step 127SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 127SGS275).

Next, the display result (stop design) of the decorative design is determined according to the data stored in the display result designating command storage area (that is, the received display result designating command) and the variation pattern (step 127SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop pattern of the decorative pattern corresponding to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores the data indicating the stop pattern of the determined decorative pattern in the decorative pattern display result storage area. do.

In addition, in the present characteristic part 127SG, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit A, the effect control CPU 120, for example, has three even-numbered symbols as the stop symbols. Determine the combination of decorative patterns (jackpot pattern). Further, when the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command to the fifth variable display result designation command corresponding to the jackpot B to jackpot D, an odd numbered pattern other than "7" is selected as the stop pattern. It is determined from among a plurality of combinations (for example, combination of decorative symbols such as "111", "333", "555", "999"). Further, in the case of the sixth variable display result designation command corresponding to the received variable display result designation command jackpot E, the effect control CPU 120, for example, sets a combination of decoration patterns in which three patterns are "7" as a stop pattern. to decide.

If the received variable display result designation command is the sixth variable display result designation command corresponding to the jackpot E, the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the jackpots B to D. ~ As in the case of the fifth variable display result designation command, as a stop symbol, a plurality of combinations of odd number symbols other than "7" (for example, decorations such as "111", "333", "555", "999" A case may be provided in which the combination of symbols is determined. In this case, by further sharing the effect during the variable display in the jackpot game or the variable probability state, it is possible to determine whether the game state is the variable probability state or the time saving state A until the variable display is executed 100 times. can draw the player's attention to whether the time saving state A ends after 100 times of variable display or continues until 10000 times of variable display, and can improve interest.

Further, if the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the non-reach variation pattern, the three symbols are irregular as the stop symbols. A combination of symbols (lost symbols) is determined. Further, if the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to the loss and the variation pattern of the variable display is the reach variation pattern, the left and right symbols are the same as the stop symbol, but the middle A combination of reach-losses with different symbols (losing symbols) is determined.

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

Then, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variation pattern designation command read in step 127SGS275 is the variation pattern designation command of super reach γ or super reach δ (step 127SGS277). If the variation pattern specification command read in step 127SGS275 is other than the super reach γ or super reach δ variation pattern specification command (step 127SGS277; N), select the process table according to the variation pattern (step 127SGS278), process A timer is started (step 127 SGS279).

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

Next, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display as a component for effect) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). Control of the device 5, various lamps as performance parts, speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (step 127 SGS280). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the variation pattern on the image display device 5 . It also outputs a control signal (lamp control execution data) to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting/extinguishing of various lamps. Also, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13 in order to output audio from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Then, a variable display time timer is set to a value corresponding to the variable display time specified by the variation pattern designation command (step 127 SGS281). Also, a predetermined time is set in the variable display control timer (step 127 SGS282). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 writes to the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data obtained is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing variable display (fluctuation) of the decoration pattern. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (step S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 127SGS283).

In step 127SGS277, if the variation pattern specification command read in step 127SGS275 is a super reach γ or super reach δ variation pattern specification command (step 127SGS277; Y), the read variation pattern specification command is super reach It is determined whether or not it is a γ variation pattern designation command (step 127 SGS291).

If the read variation pattern specification command is a super reach γ variation pattern specification command (step 127 SGS291; Y), for example, from the time-saving medium variable display count notification command to a high base state (time-saving state including probability variable state) Variable display in The number of times is specified, and it is determined whether or not the variable display is the 100th variable display in the high base state (step 127 SGS292). If the variable display is the 100th variable display in the high base state (step 127 SGS292; Y), for example, based on the received game state designation command, etc., the game state is the jackpot E time saving state after the jackpot game ends. A is determined (step 127SGS292a). When the game state is the time-saving state A after the big win E and the big win game is over (step 127SGS292a; Y), it is further determined whether or not the variable display result is a big win (step 127SGS292b).

If the variable display result is out (step 127 SGS292b; N), the high base state (time saving state A) continues up to 10000 times variable display at maximum and selects the continuous notification process table according to the variation pattern. Then, the process proceeds to step 127SGS279 (step 127SGS292c), and if the variable display result is a big hit (step 127SGS292b; Y), the process proceeds to step 127SGS296.

In addition, when the game state is not the time-saving state A after the jackpot E and jackpot game end at step 127SGS292a (step 127SGS292a; N), it is further determined whether or not the variable display result is a jackpot (step 127SGS293).

When the variable display result is a big hit (step 127SGS293; Y), the process proceeds to step 127SGS296, and when the variable display result is a loss (step 127SGS293; N), it is further determined whether or not the game state is a variable probability state. (Step 127 SGS294). If the gaming state is not a probability variable state, that is, if the gaming state is a low probability high base state (time saving state A) (step 127 SGS294; N), it is the 100th variable display of the high base state and the fluctuation pattern select the fall notification process table according to the above, and proceed to step 127SGS279 (step 127SGS295). In addition, in step 127SGS296, it is the 100th variable display of the high base state and the process table for probability variable continuation/jackpot notification according to the variation pattern is selected, and the process proceeds to step 127SGS279 (step 127SGS296).

Also, in the process of step 127SGS292, if the variable display is not the 100th variable display in the high base state (the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state) (step 127SGS292; N), the effect The control CPU 120 determines whether or not the gaming state is the time saving state B (step 127SGS297a). If the gaming state is not the time saving state B (step 127SGS297a; N), whether or not to execute the chance-up effect is determined according to the variable display result and stored (step 127SGS297b).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-20(A), when the variable display result is a big hit, the non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 70%, and the chance-up effect is executed 30%. Determined by percentage. On the other hand, if the result of the variable display is a loss, non-execution of the chance-up effect is determined at a rate of 100%. In other words, the chance-up effect in the characteristic portion 127SG is a effect that notifies that the variable display result is a big hit by being executed during the variable display, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable By providing a case where the chance-up performance is executed even when the display result is a loss, the chance-up performance is executed during the variable display to suggest that the variable display result is a big win. good too.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 11-21(B), the chance-up effect in this characterizing portion 127SG is an effect that can be executed during the execution period of the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the chance-up effect may be executable outside the execution period of the reach effect of super reach γ.

Returning to FIG. 11-18, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit in step 127SGS298 (step 127SGS298). If the result of the variable display is a failure (step 127SG298; N), the fall notification process table is selected according to the variable display after the 101st variable display in the high base state and the variation pattern, and step 127SG279. (step 127 SGS299). If the variable display result is a big hit (step 127SGS298; Y), it is further determined whether or not execution of the chance-up effect is determined (step 127SGS300).

If it is determined to execute the chance-up production (step 127 SGS300; Y), the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state, and the probability change according to the execution and variation pattern of the chance-up production Select the process table for continuation/jackpot notification and proceed to step 127SGS279 (step 127SGS301). If it is decided not to execute the chance-up production (step 127 SGS300; N), the variable display is the 101st or later variable display in the high base state, and according to the non-execution and variation pattern of the chance-up production. Select the process table for informing of probability variable fall and proceed to step 127SGS279 (step 127SGS302).

In addition, in the process of step 127SGS291, the effect control CPU 120 executes the resurrection suggestion effect according to the variable display result when the read variation pattern specification command is the super reach δ variation pattern specification command (step 127SGS291; N). A character to be displayed at the hour is determined, and the determined character is stored (step 127 SGS303).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11-20(B), when the result of the variable display is a big hit, the display character during execution of the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be character A at a rate of 30%, and character A at a rate of 70%. character B at a ratio of On the other hand, if the variable display result is a loss, that is, if the odds drop is won, the display character during execution of the resurrection suggestion effect is determined to be character A at a rate of 70%, and at a rate of 30%. Decide on character B. That is, in the present characteristic portion 127SG, when the character B is displayed during execution of the resurrection effect, the ratio of the variable display result to be a big win (percentage of the variable probability state not falling) than when the character A is displayed during the execution of the resurrection effect. is set high.

In addition, the resurrection effect in this characteristic portion 127SG is that after once the probability variable fall is notified as the reach effect of the super reach γ, the variable display result is a big hit as the reach effect of the super reach δ (the variable display result is a big hit). It is an effect that suggests that it is controlled again to the variable probability state after the end of the big hit game.

The effect control CPU 120 also determines and stores the lamps to be lit during execution of the resurrection suggesting effect according to the result of the variable display (step 127 SGS304). For example, as shown in FIG. 11-20(C), when the variable display result is a big hit, the lamps to be lit during execution of the resurrection suggestion effect are the first decorative lamp 9e and the second decorative lamp at a rate of 30%. Only the body lamp 9f and the third decoration lamp 9g are decided, and the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, the third decoration lamp 9g and the movable lamp 9d are decided at a rate of 70%. On the other hand, if the variable display result is a loss, that is, if the probability variable fall is won, the lighting target lamps at the time of execution of the resurrection suggestion effect are the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration at a rate of 70%. Only the body lamp 9f and the third decoration lamp 9g are decided, and the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, the third decoration lamp 9g and the movable lamp 9d are decided at a rate of 30%.

That is, as the resurrection effect in the characteristic portion 127SG, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g are turned on, and the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration lamp 9g are turned on. 9f, by turning on the movable lamp 9d in addition to the third decoration lamp 9g, the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit is higher than when the movable lamp 9d is not turned on.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines and stores the light emitting color when executing the second light emitting effect according to the result of the variable display. As shown in FIGS. 11-20 and 11-39, the second luminous effect means displaying a luminous effect image 127SG005E on the image display device 5 during the execution period of the revival suggestive effect, and displaying the luminous effect image 127SG005E. This is an effect that suggests that the variable display result is a big hit depending on the color.

As shown in FIG. 11-20(D), when the variable display result is a big hit, the emission color of the second emission effect is determined to be white at a rate of 10% and red at a rate of 90%. Further, when the variable display result is a failure, the emission color of the second emission effect is determined to be white at a rate of 90% and red at a rate of 10%. That is, in the characteristic portion 127SG, when the emission color of the second emission effect (display color of the emission effect image 127SG005E) is red, the emission color of the second emission effect (display color of the emission effect image 127SG005E) is white. The ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit is set higher than in the case of .

Returning to FIGS. 11-19, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variable display result is a big hit (step 127 SGS306). If the variable display result is a failure (step 127SGS306; N), select the variable pattern and the display character determined in steps 127SGS303 to step 127SGS306, the lamp to be lit, and the process table for definite variable fall notification according to the emission color. Go to step 127 SGS279 (step 127 SGS307). In addition, when the variable display result is a big hit (step 127SGS306; Y), the process table for probability variable fall notification according to the variation pattern, the display character determined in steps 127SGS303 to step 127SGS306, the lamp to be lit, and the emission color is selected. and proceed to step 127SGS279 (step 127SGS308).

If the process of steps 127SGS291 to 127SGS308 shown in FIG. 11-19 is executed and the process proceeds to step 127SGS279, the processes of steps 127SGS279 to 127SGS283 shown in FIG. 11-18 are executed to perform the variable display start setting process. You should finish. In addition, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the process timer by -1 each time the effect process during variable display is executed, and controls the effect device according to the content of the process data corresponding to the value of the process timer. Just do it.

Next, FIG. 11 about the reach performance of super reach γ (variable fall suggestion performance) and the reach performance of super reach δ (resurrection suggestion performance) that can be executed in the high base state (variable probability state or time saving state) in this characteristic part 127SG. -21 to 11-25.

First, as shown in FIG. 11-21 (A), the reach production of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display of the high base state excluding the time saving state B (probable variable fall suggestion production) is the reach production A front-stage performance A started from the start timing, a middle-stage performance A started at the end of the front-stage performance A, a rear-stage performance started at the end of the middle-stage performance A, and started at the end of the rear-stage performance. and a fall suggestion result notification presentation. From the end of the ready-to-win effect of super ready-to-win γ to the stop timing of the variable display, the decorative symbols are displayed in combination according to each variable display result on the image display device 5 .

In addition, the pre-stage effect A includes a title display effect in which the title of the ready-to-win effect of the super reach γ is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, and a title display effect in the display area of the image display device 5 from the end of the title display effect. A total of three effects are included, namely, an enemy character emphasizing effect for emphasizing an enemy character, and an ally character emphasizing effect for emphasizing an ally character in the display area of the image display device 5 from the end of the target character emphasizing effect. I'm in.

In addition, the middle-stage production A consists of a first middle-stage production, a second middle-stage production that starts when the first middle-stage production ends, and a third middle-stage production that starts when the second middle-stage production ends. Includes 3 performances. Then, the latter-stage production includes a first latter-stage production, a second latter-stage production that starts when the first latter-stage production ends, a third latter-stage production that starts when the second latter-stage production ends, and the second latter-stage production that starts when the second latter-stage production ends. 3 It is an effect that is started at the end of the second stage effect, and includes a total of four effects including the first light effect that displays the light effect image 127SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5 .

Here, the length of the presentation period of the front stage presentation A is L1, the length of the presentation period of the middle stage presentation A is L2, the length of the presentation period of the rear stage presentation is L3, and the length of the presentation period of the first middle stage presentation is L11, the length of the effect period of the second middle stage effect L12, the length of the effect period of the third middle stage effect L13, the length of the effect period of the first later stage effect L21, the length of the effect period of the second later stage effect Assuming that the height is L22 and the length of the effect period of the third rear stage effect is L23, the middle stage effect A and the latter stage effect are set to have a longer effect period than the front stage effect A. That is, the effect image of the middle stage effect A and the effect image of the latter stage effect are set to be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 for a longer period of time than the effect image of the former stage effect A (L2 >L1, L3>L1).

Further, the second middle stage effect is set to have a longer effect period than the first middle stage effect, and is set to have a shorter effect period than the third middle stage effect. That is, in the middle stage effect A, the effect image of the first middle stage effect has the shortest display period in the display area of the image display device 5, and the effect image of the third middle stage effect has the shortest display period in the display area of the image display device 5. It is set long (L13>L12>11). In other words, the display period of each effect image of the first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, and the third middle stage effect is set longer as the middle stage effect A is closer to the end.

In addition, the second rear-stage production is set to have a longer production period than the first rear-stage production, and is set to have a shorter production period than the third rear-stage production. In other words, in the latter-stage production, the effect image of the first latter-stage effect has the shortest display period in the display area of the image display device 5, and the display period of the third latter-stage effect image in the display area of the image display device 5 is the longest. It is set (L23>L22>21). In other words, the display period of each effect image of the first rear effect, the second rear effect, and the third rear effect is set longer as the end of the latter effect is closer.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-21(B), the super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state excluding the time saving state A and the time saving state B after the jackpot game of the jackpot E. The ready-to-win production includes a front-stage production B that starts at the start timing of the ready-to-reach production, a middle-stage production B that starts at the end of the front-stage production B, and a rear-stage production that starts from the end of the middle-stage production B. and a fall-suggestion-result notification effect that starts when the latter-stage effect ends. Note that the variable display result is displayed on the image display device 5 from the end of the ready-to-win effect of super reach γ to the stop timing of the variable display.

The pre-stage effect B includes a total of five effects including the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect. The pre-stage effect B is set such that after the first additional effect is executed, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect are executed in this order.

The middle stage effect B includes a total of four effects, ie, the third additional effect, the above-described first middle stage effect, the second middle stage effect, and the third middle stage effect. The middle stage effect B is set so that the first middle stage effect, the first middle stage effect, and the first middle stage effect are executed after the third additional effect is executed. Also, the execution period of the third additional effect includes a chance-up effect executable period in which the chance-up effect can be executed.

Incidentally, the latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-21(B) has the same production contents and production period as the latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-21(A).

Here, assuming that the length of the effect period of the front stage effect B is L4 and the length of the effect period of the middle stage effect B is L5, the middle stage effect B and the rear stage effect are set to have a longer effect period than the front stage effect B. there is That is, the effect image of the middle stage effect B and the effect image of the latter stage effect are set to be displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 for a longer period of time than the effect image of the former stage effect B (L3 >L4, L5>L4).

Furthermore, if the length of the effect period of the first additional effect in the preceding stage effect B is L41, and the length of the effect period of the second additional effect is L42, the effect period of the first additional effect is longer than that of the second additional effect. In addition, the first additional effect is set to have a longer effect period than the preceding stage effect A (title display effect, enemy character emphasizing effect, ally character emphasizing effect). That is, for the three effects of the pre-stage effect A, the first additional effect, and the second additional effect, the display period of the effect image of the pre-stage effect A is set to be the longest, and the display period of the effect image of the second additional effect is set. is set to be the shortest (L1>L41, L41>L42).

Also, the sum of the effect period of the first additional effect and the effect period of the second additional effect is set shorter than the effect period of the latter stage effect. That is, the display period of the effect image of the latter stage effect is set longer than the sum of the display period of the effect image of the first additional effect and the display period of the effect image of the second additional effect (L3>L41+L42).

Incidentally, as shown in FIGS. 11-22(A) to 11-22(C), the first additional effect in the characteristic portion 127SG is that after the silhouette is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5, the silhouette is displayed. is changed to an image of an enemy character, and a message is displayed above the enemy character, and an enemy character and an ally character as shown in FIGS. are approaching each other, and an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other is displayed.

On the other hand, in FIGS. 11-23(A) and 11-23(B), the enemy character and the ally character approach each other as in FIGS. The image just before the character and the enemy character attack each other and the image just before the friend character and the enemy character attack each other overlap the message to the effect that the battle between the friend character and the enemy character will start. The image to be displayed and the effect to be displayed are.

11-22(D)-FIG. 11-22(E) and FIGS. 11-23(A)-FIG. 11-22(A) to 11-22(C) and FIGS. 11-23(C). configures a non-common effect section (first non-common effect section and second non-common effect section) that displays different images (video) in the display area of the image display device 5 for the first additional effect and the second additional effect. do.

Incidentally, as shown in FIGS. 11-22 and 11-23, the effect period of the first non-common effect part (FIGS. 11-22(A) to 11-22(C)) in the first additional effect is L411, Effect period of the common effect part (Fig. 11-22 (D) to Fig. 11-22 (E) and Fig. 11-23 (A) to Fig. 11-23 (B)) in the first additional effect and the second additional effect is L412, and the effect period of the second non-common effect part (FIG. 11-23 (C)) in the second additional effect is L413, the effect period of these first non-common effect parts and the effect period of the second non-common effect is set longer than the effect period of the common effect. That is, in the first additional effect and the second additional effect, the sum of the display period of the effect image of the first non-common effect portion and the display period of the effect image of the second non-common effect portion is the effect image of the common effect portion. (L411+L413>L412).

In addition, the reach performance of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display of the high base state excluding the time saving state B shown in FIG. 11-21 (A) and the big hit E shown in FIG. 11-21 (B) Comparing the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state excluding the time saving state A and the time saving state B after the game, the effect period of the latter stage effect is the effect of the former stage effect A It is set longer than the sum of the period and the performance period of the front stage performance B. That is, the display period of the effect image of the latter stage effect is set longer than the sum of the display period of the effect image of the preceding stage effect A and the display period of the effect image of the preceding stage effect B (L3>L1+L4).

In addition, in the reach effect of super reach γ that can be executed in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state, the first additional effect, the second additional effect, and the third additional effect are executed. The effect period L102 of the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ which can be executed in the variable display after the first time is set longer than the effect period L101 of the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ to be executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state. It is

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-24, in the variation pattern of super reach δ that can be executed in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state excluding the time saving state A and the time saving state B after the big win E jackpot game In the variable display, the reach performance of super reach γ shown in FIG. After is notified, the resurrection suggestion effect is executed again as the reach effect of the super reach δ.

The ready-to-win effect of the super reach δ is an effect to be started at the start timing of the ready-to-win effect, and includes an operation promoting effect to prompt the player to operate operating means such as the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, and the operation. This is an effect that starts when the promotion effect ends, and is a second light effect that displays a white or red light effect image 127SG005E in the display area of the image display device 5, and the second light effect that starts when the second light effect ends. A total of three effects, including a resurrection suggestion result notification effect that informs that the variable display result is a big hit or a loss (that the variable display result is lost and the probability change state ends (probability change fall)) contains.

Here, assuming that the length of the effect period of the operation promoting effect is L31, the length of the effect period of the second light emission effect is L32, and the length of the effect period of the revival suggestion result notification effect is L33, the revival suggestion result notification effect is obtained. The effect period is set longer than the effect period of the second light emitting effect. That is, during the period in which the white or red light emission effect image 127SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as the second light emission effect, the effect image of the revival suggestion result notification effect is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. It is set shorter than the period (L33>L32). The period during which the light emission effect image 127SG005E is displayed on the image display device 5 as the first light emission effect and the second light effect in the characteristic portion 127SG is approximately one second (L32≈1 second).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11-25, the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 1100th variable display of the high base state in the time saving state B (probable variable fall suggestion effect) starts from the start timing of the reach effect. a middle-stage performance A to be performed, a latter-stage performance started at the end of the middle-stage performance A, and a fall-suggestion-result notification performance started at the end of the latter-stage performance. Note that the variable display result is displayed on the image display device 5 from the end of the ready-to-win effect of super reach γ to the stop timing of the variable display.

These middle stage production A, rear stage production A, and fall suggestion result notification production are the reach production of super reach γ that is executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state excluding the time saving state B shown in Fig. 11-21 (A). This is the same type of production as the middle stage production A, the rear stage production A, and the fall suggestion result notification production which are executed by pressing the button. That is, as the reach performance of super reach γ executed in the 1100th variable display of the high base state in the time saving state B, the front stage performance A is not executed, the middle stage performance A, the rear stage performance A, and the fall suggestion result notification performance. is set to run.

For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 11-21 and 11-25, L101 is the length of the production period of the reach production of super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state excluding the time saving state B, and the big hit L102 is the length of the production period of the reach effect of super reach γ executed in the 101st and subsequent variable displays excluding the time saving state A and the time saving state B after the end of the jackpot game E, and the high base state in the time saving state B Assuming that the length of the effect period of the reach performance of the super reach γ executed in the 1100th variable display is L103, the reach of the super reach γ executed in the 100th variable display in the high base state excluding the time saving state B The reach effect of super reach γ executed in the variable display after the 101st time except for the time saving state A and the time saving state B after the end of the jackpot game of the jackpot E is the 1100th time of the high base state in the time saving state B The effect period is set to be longer than the reach effect of super reach γ executed in variable display (L101>L102, L101>L103).

Next, video data, music data, and lamp data that are set in the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ and the ready-to-reach effect of super reach δ in this characteristic portion 127SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-26 to 11-28.

B, image data C for revival suggestion effect, or image data D for revival suggestion effect is used.

Although not shown, the ROM 121 stores music data for outputting music corresponding to the performance from the speakers 8L and 8R at a volume corresponding to the performance, the main lamp 9a, the frame lamp 9b, the attack lamp 9c, and the movable lamp 9c. Lamp data for lighting the game effect lamps 9, such as the body lamp 9d, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g, with the brightness and light emission pattern corresponding to the performance are also stored. ing.

In particular, during the operation promotion effect period, the flashing of the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g at the brightness C1 is repeatedly executed in response to the repeated pressing of the push button 31B. It has become so. Specifically, first, when the first decorative lamp 9e blinks a predetermined number of times in response to repeated pressing of the push button 31B, the second decorative lamp 9f starts blinking. Then, when the first decoration lamp 9e and the second decoration lamp 9f blink a predetermined number of times in response to repeated pressing of the push button 31B, the third decoration lamp 9g starts blinking. That is, during the operation promotion effect period, as shown in FIGS. 11-28(A) to 11-28(C), when the player repeatedly presses the push button 31B, each decoration lamp flashes. The player recognizes that the 127SG300 progresses from the outer edge side toward the center.

Further, when the movable body lamp 9d is determined to be the lamp to emit light (see FIGS. 22-24), the blinking of the movable body lamp 9d is repeatedly executed in response to the repeated pressing of the push button 31B during the operation promoting effect period. It is designed to be

11-29 to 11-42, the ready-to-reach effect of super reach γ (fall-suggesting effect) and the ready-to-reach effect of super reach δ (revival-suggesting effect) in this characterizing portion 127SG will be described with reference to FIGS. 11-29 to 11-42.

First, in the reach effect of super reach γ in the 100th variable display in the high base state excluding the time saving state B, as shown in FIG. An image in which the friendly character and the enemy character face each other in the area, and a message to the effect that the high base state (time-saving state including the variable probability state) ends when the friendly character is defeated by the enemy character are displayed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-29(B), the image of the enemy character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 by executing the enemy character emphasizing effect. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-29(C), when the enemy character emphasizing effect ends, the image of the ally character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as a teammate character emphasizing effect.

When the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, and the ally character emphasizing effect as the pre-stage effects are finished, as shown in FIGS. A middle-stage production is executed in which the ally character and the enemy character fight each other. Incidentally, as the middle stage production, for example, the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the ally character (first middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-29(D)), and the enemy character chases the ally character (FIG. 11 -29 (E) second middle stage effect), the enemy character's attack hits the ally character (third middle stage effect shown in FIG. 11-29 (F)). An effect suggesting defeat by the enemy character (end of the high base state) is executed.

After the end of the middle-stage production, the latter-stage production is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Incidentally, as the latter-stage production, for example, the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character (first latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-29(G)), and the friendly character avoids the attack of the enemy character ( 11-29 (H)), and the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character (third latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-30 (I)). An effect suggesting that the character wins (the high base state continues without falling down with variable probability, or the variable display result becomes a big hit) is executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-30(J) and 11-30(K), from the final stage of the third stage effect, the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other in the display area of the image display device 5. The previous image is displayed. Then, when the first light emission effect is started, the light emission effect image 127SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the friend character and the enemy character that were displayed just before are temporarily displayed. It becomes invisible to the player.

After the end of the first light emitting effect, a drop suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the variable display result and whether or not the fall lottery is won. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (L) and 11-31 (M), the game state is a time-saving state A after the end of any one of the jackpot A to jackpot D, and variable display. If the result is a big hit or the variable display result is lost and the falling lottery is not won, after an image is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 where the friend character defeats the enemy character, the variable display result is a big hit or An image is displayed to notify that the high base state (time saving state including the variable probability state) continues.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (N) and 11-31 (O), the game state is a time-saving state A after the end of any one of the jackpot A to jackpot D, and the variable display result is In the case where the drop lottery has been won and the drop lottery has been won, the game state is changed by winning the drop lottery after the image of the ally character being knocked down (defeated) by the enemy character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. An image is displayed to notify that the normal state is controlled.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-31 (P) and 11-31 (A), if the game state is a time-saving state A after the jackpot E is finished, and the variable display result is lost, an image is displayed. After the movable body 32 falls to the front position of the display area of the device 5, the time saving state continues for a maximum of 10000 times (9900 times remaining at this time) in the display area (time saving control is executed ) is displayed. In addition, when the game state is the time-saving state A after the jackpot E is finished, and the variable display result is a jackpot, the display area of the image display device 5 is shown in FIGS. An image is displayed to notify that the variable display result is a big hit in the same effect mode as M).

In the reach effect of super reach γ in the variable display after the 101st time in the high base state excluding the time saving state A and the time saving state B after the jackpot game of the jackpot E, first, FIGS. As shown in 32(B), as a first additional effect, an image in which an enemy character appears in the display area of the image display device 5 and an image immediately before the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other are displayed.

When the first additional effect is completed, as shown in FIG. 11-32(C), as the title display effect, an image in which the friendly character and the enemy character face each other in the display area of the image display device 5, and the friendly character is the enemy character. A message will be displayed to the effect that the high-base state (time-saving state including variable state) will end by losing to .

Next, as shown in FIG. 11-32(D), the image of the enemy character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 by executing the enemy character emphasizing effect. Then, as shown in FIG. 11-32(E), when the enemy character emphasizing effect ends, the image of the ally character is enlarged and displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 as a teammate character emphasizing effect.

When the teammate character emphasizing effect is completed, as shown in FIGS. 11-32(F) and 11-32(G), as a second additional effect, the teammate character and the enemy character interact in the display area of the image display device 5. After the image immediately before the attack is displayed, a message (characters of "FIGHT!" in FIG. 11-32 (G)) to the effect that the battle between the ally character and the enemy character will start is displayed overlapping the image. be done.

When the first additional effect, the title display effect, the enemy character emphasizing effect, the ally character emphasizing effect, and the second additional effect as the preceding stage effect are completed, the third additional effect is executed. As the third additional effect, as shown in FIG. 11-33(H), an image of a friend character and an enemy character facing each other in the display area of the image display device 5 is displayed in the horizontal direction multiple times. . At this time, if it is decided not to execute the chance-up effect, the image of the friend character disappears from the display area of the image display device 5 and the image of the enemy character is displayed instead, as shown in FIG. 11-33(I). The display of only suggests that the allied character is defeated (the high base state ends). On the other hand, when execution of the chance-up effect is decided, as shown in FIG. 11-33(J), the image of the enemy character disappears from the display area of the image display device 5, and only the image of the friend character is displayed instead. is displayed, the ally character wins (the variable display result is a big hit, or the variable display result is a loss, but the falling lottery is not won, so the high base state (time-saving state including the probability variable state) continues. ) is suggested.

When the third additional effect ends, as shown in FIGS. 11-33(K), 11-34(L), and 11-34(M), a middle stage effect is executed in which the friendly character and the enemy character fight each other. . Incidentally, as the middle stage production, for example, the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the ally character (first middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-33(K)), and the enemy character chases the ally character (FIG. 11). -34 (L) 2nd middle stage production), the enemy character's attack hits the ally character (3rd middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-34 (M)). An effect suggesting defeat by the enemy character (end of the high base state) is executed.

After the end of the middle-stage production, the latter-stage production is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Incidentally, as the latter-stage production, for example, the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character (the first latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-34 (N)), and the friendly character avoids the attack of the enemy character ( 11-34 (O)), and the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character (third latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-34 (P)). An effect suggesting that the character wins (the high base state continues without falling down with variable probability, or the variable display result becomes a big hit) is executed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-34(P), 11-34(Q), and 11-34(R), from the final stage of the third latter stage effect, the display area of the image display device 5 is displayed with the teammate character. An image immediately before the enemy character attacks each other is displayed. Then, when the first light emission effect is started, the light emission effect image 127SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the friend character and the enemy character that were displayed just before are temporarily displayed. It becomes invisible to the player.

After the end of the first light emitting effect, a drop suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the variable display result and whether or not the fall lottery is won. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-35 (S) and 11-35 (T), when the variable display result is a big hit or the variable display result is lost and the fall lottery is not won, the image display device In the display area of 5, after the image of the ally character defeating the enemy character is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the variable display result is a big hit or the high base state (time-saving state including the probability variable state) continues. .

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-35(U) and 11-35(V), when the variable display result is wrong and the falling lottery is won, the friendly character is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5. After an image in which is defeated by an enemy character is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the game state is controlled to the normal state by winning the falling lottery.

In addition, in the reach production of super reach γ in the 1100th variable display in the time saving state B, as shown in FIGS. A middle-stage production is executed in which the character and the enemy character fight each other. Incidentally, as the middle stage production, for example, the enemy character advances the battle with superiority over the ally character (first middle stage production shown in FIG. 11-36(A)), and the enemy character chases the ally character (FIG. 11 -36 (B) second middle stage effect), the enemy character's attack hits the ally character (third middle stage effect shown in FIG. 11-36 (C)). An effect suggesting defeat by the enemy character (end of the high base state) is executed.

After the end of the middle-stage production, the latter-stage production is executed in which the battle between the ally character and the enemy character continues. Incidentally, as the latter-stage production, for example, the friendly character advances the battle with superiority over the enemy character (first latter-stage production shown in FIG. 11-36(E)), and the friendly character's attack hits the enemy character (third latter stage production shown in FIG. 11-37(F)). An effect suggesting that the character wins (the high base state continues without falling down with variable probability, or the variable display result becomes a big hit) is executed.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 11-37(G) and 11-37(H), from the final stage of the third stage effect, the friendly character and the enemy character attack each other in the display area of the image display device 5. The previous image is displayed. Then, when the first light emission effect is started, the light emission effect image 127SG005E is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, so that the images of the friend character and the enemy character that were displayed just before are temporarily displayed. It becomes invisible to the player.

After the end of the first light emission effect, a fall suggestion result notification effect is executed according to the result of the variable display. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-38(I) and 11-38(J), when the variable display result is a big hit, the friendly character hits the enemy character in the display area of the image display device 5. After the image of knocking down is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the result of the variable display is a big hit.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 11-38(K) and 11-38(L), when the variable display result is a failure, the friendly character is knocked down by the enemy character in the display area of the image display device 5. After the image (lost) is displayed, an image is displayed to notify that the game state is controlled to the normal state due to the loss.

11-29, in the lower portion of the display area of the image display device 5, in the present characteristic portion 127SG, the pending display corresponding to the variable display that has not yet been executed and the Although the mode of displaying the pending display is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pending display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and the pending display is displayed in any of the display modes. It may be possible to execute a pending display announcement effect in which the variable display corresponding to the pending display has a different ratio of the variable display result to a big hit depending on whether the game is played or not.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11-29, the characteristic part 127SG displays a pending display in the lower part of the display area of the image display device 5, and also displays an active display according to the variable display being executed. Although exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the active display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and depending on which display mode the active display is displayed, It may be possible to execute an active display notice effect in which the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit is different in the variable display.

Furthermore, as for the pending display notice effect and the active display notice effect, the display mode of the pending display and the active display may be changed not only at the start and end of the variable display but also during execution of the variable display. By doing so, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the timing at which the display mode of the pending display and the active display changes.

In addition, in the case where it is possible to execute the pending display notice effect and the active display notice effect described above in the present characteristic part 127SG, during execution of the reach effect of super reach γ (variable display after the 100th or 101st time in the high base state) during the variable display in the variation pattern of the super reach γ executed in ), when the active display notice effect is executed and the variable display result suggests that the result will be a big win, the high base state is restored after the end of the big win game. Since there is a risk that the player will recognize in advance that it will be controlled, during the execution of the reach effect of super reach γ, the execution of the pending display notice effect and the active display notice effect (display mode of the pending display and active display change), or the display itself of the pending display or the active display may be limited.

In addition, as a ready-to-reach effect (resurrection suggestive effect) of super reach δ, as shown in FIG. A shutter image 127SG005S is displayed, and an operation prompting image is displayed in the left part of the display area to prompt the player to hit the push button 31B repeatedly.

Here, when the character to be displayed when the resurrection suggestion effect is executed is determined to be the character A (see FIG. 11-20(B)), when the player starts repeatedly hitting the push button 31B, the character shown in FIG. 11-39 ( B) to FIG. 11-39(C), the closed shutter image 127SG005S is gradually opened. At the same time, the player can gradually see the image of the character A between these shutter images. In other words, the operation promoting effect is also a effect in which the display area of the image of the character A in the display area of the image display device 5 gradually expands as the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B. Further, during the execution period of the operation promoting effect, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g of the decoration 127SG300 flash by repeatedly hitting the push button 31B by the player. , blinking of the movable body lamp 9d (only when it is determined to be lit) is also executed (see FIG. 11-28).

Then, when the shutter image 127SG005S is opened up to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promoting effect ends, the second As a lighting effect, a white or red lighting effect image 127SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 . During execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 127SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by these light emission effect images 127SG005E.

When the second light emitting effect ends, then, a revival suggestion result notification effect is executed. In the revival suggestion result notification effect, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-40(F) and 11-40(G), in the display area of the image display device 5, the shutter in the same mode as immediately before the execution of the second light emission effect The image 127SG005S and the image of the character A are displayed as still images. Then, the shutter image 127SG005S is slightly opened from the state shown in FIG. 11-40(F).

At this time, when the variable display result is a big hit, the shutter image 127SG005S is completely opened (the shutter image 127SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), thereby making the image display device The image of the character A is displayed over the entire display area of 5, and the result of the variable display is a big hit despite the notification that the high base state will end once in the reach performance of the super reach γ. After the jackpot game ends, it is informed that the high base state (probability variable state) is controlled again.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is lost (and when the drop lottery is won), as shown in FIG. 11-40(I), the shutter image is changed from the state shown in FIG. 127SG005S is closed (the shutter image 127SG005S makes the image of the character A invisible to the player in the display area of the image display device 5) to inform the end of the high base state.

Further, when the character to be displayed when the resurrection suggestion effect is executed is determined to be the character B (see FIG. 11-20(B)), when the player starts hitting the push button 31B repeatedly, the character shown in FIG. 11-41 (A ) to FIG. 11-41(C), the closed shutter image 127SG005S is gradually opened. At the same time, the player can gradually see the image of the character B between these shutter images. In other words, the operation promoting effect is also a effect in which the display area of the image of the character B in the display area of the image display device 5 gradually expands as the player repeatedly hits the push button 31B. Further, during the execution period of the operation promoting effect, the first decoration lamp 9e, the second decoration lamp 9f, and the third decoration lamp 9g of the decoration 127SG300 flash by repeatedly hitting the push button 31B by the player. , blinking of the movable body lamp 9d (only when it is determined to be lit) is also executed (see FIG. 11-28).

Then, when the shutter image 127SG005S is opened up to a predetermined amount by the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B and the operation promoting effect ends, the second As a lighting effect, a white or red lighting effect image 127SG005E is displayed in the display area of the image display device 5 . During execution of the second light emission effect, the shutter image 127SG005S, the image of the character A, and the like are temporarily rendered invisible to the player by these light emission effect images 127SG005E.

When the second light emitting effect ends, then, a revival suggestion result notification effect is executed. In the revival suggestion result notification effect, first, as shown in FIGS. 11-42 (F) and 11-42 (G), in the display area of the image display device 5, the shutter in the same manner as immediately before the execution of the second light emission effect The image 127SG005S and the image of character B are displayed as still images. Then, the shutter image 127SG005S is slightly opened from the state shown in FIG. 11-42(F).

At this time, when the variable display result is a big hit, the shutter image 127SG005S is completely opened (the shutter image 127SG005S moves from the display area of the image display device 5 and becomes invisible), thereby making the image display device The image of the character B is displayed over the entire display area of 5, and the result of the variable display is a big hit even though it is announced that the high base state will once end in the reach performance of the super reach γ. After the jackpot game ends, it is informed that the high base state (probability variable state) is controlled again.

On the other hand, when the variable display result is lost (and when the fall lottery is won), as shown in FIG. 127SG005S is closed (the shutter image 127SG005S makes the image of the character B invisible to the player in the display area of the image display device 5) to inform the end of the high base state.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the characteristic portion 127SG, when the game state is the high-probability-high base state (probability-variable state), the falling lottery is executed each time the variable display is executed. Then, if the drop lottery is won by the 99th variable display after being controlled to the high probability/high base state except after the jackpot game of the big win E, the variable probability control is executed until the variable display that wins the drop lottery. On the other hand, the time-saving control is continuously executed until the 100th variable display, but when the falling lottery is won in the variable display after the 100th time, the variable display that wins the falling lottery is finally controlled. To end the time saving control, that is, to control the game state to the normal state. On the other hand, in the high probability high base state of the jackpot game of the jackpot E, even if the fall lottery is won by the 99th variable display after being controlled to the high probability high base state, a maximum of 10000 times Time saving control is executed over the variable display.

Then, in the pachinko game machine 1 with such a game property, in the 100th variable display of the time saving state A including the probability variable state after any one of the big wins A to D, the variable display is as shown in FIG. 11-31. In addition, as a reach effect (fall suggestion result notification effect) of super reach γ, a high base state (high Either the effect of notifying that the fixed height base state) continues or the effect of notifying that the game state is controlled to the normal state due to the fact that the variable display result is lost and the falling lottery is won. On the other hand, in the 100th variable display of the time saving state A after the big hit game of the big win E, if the variable display result is lost, the maximum reach performance of the super reach γ (fall suggestion result notification performance) is performed. An effect is executed to notify that the high base state (time saving state) continues over 10000 times (9900 times remaining at this point).

That is, in the 100th variable display in the time saving state A after the big win E, an effect different from the 100th variable display in the time saving state A of any one of the big wins A to D is executed. , it is possible to prevent the effect executed in the 100th variable display in the time saving state A from becoming monotonous, and to prevent the deterioration of the game interest. Furthermore, in the 100th variable display in the time-saving state A after the big win E, the 100th variable display in the time-saving state A of any one of the big wins A to D is different from the 100th variable display, and the maximum is 10000 times. Since the effect of notifying that the time saving control continues is executed over the variable display of , the expectation for the time saving state A continuing over 100 times can be effectively increased.

In addition, in this characteristic part 127SG, both the variable probability control and the time saving control are executed after the big hit game of the big hit E (if the falling lottery is not won, the time saving control continues over the variable display up to 10000 times in the variable probability state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the jackpot game of jackpot E, only time saving control may be executed.

In addition, in this characteristic portion 127SG, as shown in FIGS. In the display, it is possible to execute variable display with the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ and super reach δ, that is, it is possible to execute reach production of super reach γ (suggestion of falling) and reach production of super reach δ (suggestion of resurrection) On the other hand, in the time saving state A including the probability variable state after the big hit game of the big hit E, the variable display after the 101st time after being notified that the time saving control is executed over a maximum of 10000 variable displays. Variable display is not executed in the fluctuation pattern of super reach γ and super reach δ, that is, reach production of super reach γ (suggestion of fall) and reach production of super reach δ (suggestion of revival) is executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reach performance of super reach γ (fall suggestive performance) and the reach performance of super reach δ (resurrection suggestive performance) from being unnecessarily executed, thereby reducing the interest in the game. can.

In addition, in this characteristic part 127SG, in the time saving state A including the probability variable state after the big hit game E, the reach production of super reach γ (suggestion of fall) and the reach production of super reach δ (resurrection suggestion production) are executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the time-saving state A including the variable probability state after the jackpot game of the jackpot E, any one of the jackpots A to D is hit. The ready-to-reach performance of super reach γ (fall suggestive performance) and the ready-to-reach performance of super reach δ (resurrection suggestive performance) may be executed at a lower rate than the time saving state A including the variable probability state after the game.
