Below the image display device 50 in the game area 6, there is provided a first starting winning device 11D having a first starting port 11 in which the ease with which a game ball enters is always constant. The first starting port 11 is also referred to as a first ball-in port, a fixed ball-in port, a first starting prize-winning port, or a first starting region. Further, the first start winning device 11D is also called first ball entry means, fixed ball entry means, or first start prize winning device. Winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11 triggers lottery for the first special symbol (big hit lottery, ie, acquisition and determination of big hit random numbers, etc.).

Further, below the first starting port 11 in the game area 6, a normal variable winning device (normal electric accessory, so-called electric chew) 12D having the second starting port 12 is provided. The second starting hole 12 is also referred to as a second ball entry hole, a variable ball entry hole, a second starting winning hole, or a second starting region. The electric chew 12D is also referred to as a second ball entry means, a variable ball entry means, or a second starting winning device. Winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12 triggers a second special symbol lottery (jackpot lottery).

The electric chew 12D has an electric chew opening/closing member 12k (ball opening opening/closing member) that takes an open state and a closed state, and opens and closes the second starting port 12 by operating the electric chew opening/closing member 12k. The electric tuning opening/closing member 12k is driven by an electric tuning solenoid 12s, which will be described later.

That is, the second starting hole 12 is a starting hole in which the ease with which a game ball enters can be changed. In addition, if the electric chew makes it easier for the ball to enter the second starting port when the electric chew opening and closing member is in the open state than when it is in the closed state, 2 It does not have to be something that makes it impossible to enter the starting hole.

Also, on the right side of the first starting port 11 in the game area 6, a big winning device (special electric accessory) 14D having a big winning port 14 is provided. The special winning opening 14 is also called a special winning opening. The big winning device 14D is also called an attacker (AT), a special winning means, or a special variable winning device. The big winning device 14D has an AT opening/closing member 14k (special winning opening opening/closing member) that takes an open state and a closed state, and opens and closes the big winning opening 14 by the operation of the AT opening/closing member 14k. The AT opening/closing member 14k is driven by an AT solenoid 14s, which will be described later. A game ball can enter the big winning opening 14 only when the AT opening/closing member 14k is in an open state.

A gate 13 through which game balls can pass is provided on the right side of the center frame 61 . The gate 13 is also called a passage opening or a passage area. Passage of the game ball to the gate 13 is a trigger for execution of a normal symbol lottery (that is, normal symbol random number (hit random number) acquisition and determination) that determines whether or not to open the electric chew 12D. Furthermore, a plurality of general prize winning openings 10 are provided in the lower portion of the game area 6 . Also, at the bottom of the game area 6, an out port 19 is provided for discharging out of the game area 6 game balls that have been hit into the game area 6 but have not won in any of the winning openings.

In the game area 6 in which various winning openings are arranged, there are a left game area 6L (first game area) on the left side of the center in the horizontal direction (first game area) and a right game area 6R (second game area) on the right side. There is. A hitting method of shooting a game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area 6L is called left hitting. On the other hand, a hitting method of shooting a game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area 6R is called right hitting. In the pachinko machine PY1 of this embodiment, the flow path through which the game balls flow down when the game is played with the left hand is called the first flow path R1, and the flow path through which the game balls flow down when the game is played with the right hand. , the second flow path R2.

A first starting port 11, a general prize winning port 10, an electric tube 12D, and an out port 19 are provided on the first flow path R1. A player can aim to win a prize to the first starting opening 11 or the general winning opening 10 by hitting a game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1. In addition, since no gate is arranged on the first flow path R1, the electric tube 12D will not be opened when the player is hitting to the left.

On the other hand, a gate 13, a general prize winning port 10, a big prize winning device 14D, an electric tube 12D, and an out port 19 are provided on the second flow path R2. By hitting the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2, the player can aim to pass through the gate 13, or win a prize in the general winning opening 10, the second starting opening 12, and the big winning opening 14. can.

Also, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the display devices 8 include a first special symbol display device 81a that variably displays the first special symbol, a second special symbol display device 81b that variably displays the second special symbol, and a normal symbol. A normal map display 82 for variably displaying (normal map) is included. The first special symbol is also referred to as the first special symbol or special symbol 1, and the second special symbol is also referred to as the second special symbol or special symbol 2. In addition, the normal pattern is also called a general pattern.

In addition, in the display device 8, the first special figure suspension display 83a that displays the number of storage of the operation suspension (first special figure suspension) of the first special figure display 81a, the operation suspension of the second special figure display 81b (Second special figure suspension) 2nd special figure suspension display 83b for displaying the number of memories, and normal figure suspension display 84 for displaying the number of operation suspension (normal figure suspension) of the normal figure display 82 is

The variable display of the first special symbol is performed with the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11 as a trigger. The variable display of the second special symbol is performed with the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12 as a trigger. In the following description, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol (special symbol). Moreover, the 1st special figure indicator 81a and the 2nd special figure indicator 81b may be generically called the special figure indicator 81. As shown in FIG. Also, the first special figure reservation display 83a and the second special figure reservation display 83b may be collectively referred to as the special figure reservation display 83. In addition, the first special figure reservation and the second special figure reservation may be collectively referred to as special figure reservation.

In the special figure display device 81, the special symbols are variably displayed (variable display) and then stopped, so that a lottery (special symbol lottery, jackpot lottery) based on the winning of the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 is performed. Notify the results. A special symbol to be stopped and displayed (a stop symbol, a special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one special symbol selected from a plurality of types of special symbols by a special symbol lottery. When the stop pattern is a predetermined specific special pattern (a special pattern of a specific stop mode, i.e., a jackpot pattern), an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the stopped and displayed specific special pattern (that is, the type of the jackpot won) is selected. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is performed to open the big winning hole 14.例文帳に追加In addition, the opening pattern of the big winning opening in the special game will be described later.

Specifically, the special symbol indicator 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special symbol according to the result of the jackpot lottery by its lighting mode. be. For example, if you win a jackpot (one of the multiple types of jackpots described later), ``○○●●○○●●'' (○: lights up, ●: lights out) 1, 2, from the left A jackpot pattern in which the fifth and sixth LEDs are lit is displayed. In addition, if the game is lost, a lost pattern is displayed in which only the rightmost LED lights up, such as "●●●●●●●○". A mode in which all the LEDs are extinguished may be adopted as the lost pattern. In addition, the lost design is not a specific special design. In addition, before the special symbols are stopped and displayed, the special symbols are variably displayed for a predetermined variable time. It is a mode. It should be noted that the variable display mode may be anything, such as blinking all the LEDs all at once, unless each LED is stopped (lighted up in a specific mode).

In this pachinko game machine PY1, when there is a winning (entering a ball) of a game ball into the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, the value of various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers (numerical information , determination information) is temporarily stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 described later. Specifically, if the winning to the first start port 11 is stored as the first special figure reservation, it is stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a described later, and if the winning to the second start opening 12 is the second special It is stored in the later-described second special figure suspension storage unit 105b as figure suspension. The number of special figure suspensions that can be stored in each special figure suspension storage unit 105 has an upper limit, and the upper limit value (upper limit number) in this embodiment is "4" respectively. Note that the upper limit value is not limited to "4" and may be less than four.

The special figure reservation stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 is terminated when the variable display of the special symbol based on the special figure reservation becomes possible. Digestion of the special figure reservation means to determine the jackpot random number or the like corresponding to the special figure reservation, and to execute the variable display of the special symbol for showing the determination result. Therefore, in the pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display of the special symbols based on the winning of the game ball to the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 cannot be performed immediately after the winning, that is, the execution of the variable display of the special symbols. Even if a prize is won during execution of a special game, the right of a jackpot lottery for the prize can be reserved up to a predetermined number.

And the number of such special figure reservations is displayed on the special figure reservation indicator 83. Specifically, each special figure reservation indicator 83 is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of special figure reservations by lighting the LEDs by the number of special figure reservations.

The variable display of normal symbols is performed with the passage of the game ball to the gate 13 as a trigger. The normal symbol display device 82 notifies the result of the normal symbol lottery based on the passage of the game ball to the gate 13 by displaying the normal symbol variably (variably displaying) and then stop-displaying it. A normal pattern to be stopped and displayed (a normal pattern stop pattern, a normal pattern derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one normal pattern selected from a plurality of types of normal patterns by a normal pattern lottery. When the stop-displayed normal symbol is a predetermined specific normal symbol (a normal symbol in a predetermined stop mode, that is, a normal winning symbol), the second starting port 12 is opened in an opening pattern according to the current game state. Auxiliary game is played to make it possible. The opening pattern of the second starting port 12 will be described later.

Specifically, the normal symbol display device 82 is composed of, for example, two LEDs (see FIG. 5), and displays normal symbols corresponding to the result of the normal symbol lottery according to the lighting mode thereof. For example, if the lottery result is a win, a normal win pattern with both LEDs lit up is displayed, such as "○○" (○: lit, ●: unlit). When the lottery result is a loss, a normal losing pattern is displayed, such as "●○", in which only the right LED lights up. A mode in which all the LEDs are extinguished may be employed as a normal losing pattern. It should be noted that the normal losing design is not a specific normal design. Before the normal symbols are stopped and displayed, the normal symbols are variably displayed for a predetermined variable time. It should be noted that the variable display mode may be anything, such as blinking all the LEDs all at once, unless each LED is stopped (lighted up in a specific mode).

In the pachinko game machine PY1, when a game ball passes through the gate 13, the value of the normal symbol random number (hit random number) acquired for the passage is stored in the normal pattern reservation storage unit 106 described later as normal pattern reservation. memorized once. There is an upper limit to the number of normal pattern reservations that can be stored in the general pattern reservation storage unit 106, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is "4".

The normal pattern reservation stored in the normal pattern reservation storage unit 106 is terminated when the variable display of the normal pattern based on the normal pattern reservation becomes possible. The digestion of the normal pattern reservation means that the normal design random number (hit random number) corresponding to the normal pattern reservation is determined, and the normal design variable display is performed to show the determination result. Therefore, in this pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display of the normal symbols based on the passage of the game ball through the gate 13 cannot be performed immediately after the passage, that is, during the execution of the variable display of the normal symbols or during the execution of the auxiliary game, a prize is won. Even if there is, with a predetermined number as the upper limit, it is possible to reserve the right of the normal symbol lottery for the passage.

And the number of such normal map reservations is displayed on the normal map reservation display 84 . Specifically, the normal map hold indicator 84 is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the number of normal map reserves by lighting the LEDs by the number of normal map reserves.

3. Explanation of Big Wins, etc. In the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment, there are "big wins" and "losses" as a result of the big win lottery (special symbol lottery). At the time of the "big win", the special figure display 81 stops displaying the "big win pattern". At the time of "missing", the special symbol display 81 stops displaying the "losing symbol". When a big win is won, a "jackpot game" for opening the big prize opening 14 is executed in an opening pattern corresponding to the type of the stopped special symbol (type of the big win). A jackpot game is also called a special game.

In this form, the jackpot game includes multiple round games (unit open games), the opening (also referred to as OP) before the first round game starts, and the ending after the final round game ends. (also referred to as ED). Each round game starts with the end of the OP or the end of the previous round game and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ED. The closing time (interval time) of the big winning hole between round games is included in the open round game before closing.

There are multiple types of jackpots. The types of jackpots are as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, there are roughly two types in this embodiment. There is a variable jackpot and a normal jackpot. The variable probability jackpot is a jackpot that controls the game state after the jackpot game to a high probability state, which will be described later. The normal jackpot is a jackpot in which the game state after the jackpot game is controlled to a normal probability state (low probability state) described later.

The probability variable jackpot that can be won in the special figure 1 lottery (lottery of the first special symbol) of this form has a different number of rounds. More specifically, a variable jackpot 1 that opens the big winning mouth 14 from 1R to 4R over a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R, and a variable variable that opens the big winning mouth 14 from 1R to 6R over a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R There are a jackpot 2 and a probability variable jackpot 3 that opens the big prize opening 14 from 1R to 8R for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R (see FIG. 8). Therefore, if you win a probability variable jackpot in the lottery of the special figure 1 of this form, the jackpot game 1 with a substantial number of rounds of 4R, the jackpot game 2 with a substantial number of rounds of 6R, or the substantial number of rounds Any one of the jackpot games 3 of 8R will be executed. Here, the substantial number of rounds means the number of rounds in which game balls can win up to the upper limit number of winning prizes per round (10 in this embodiment). In addition, if you win the "probability variable jackpot 1" by the lottery of the special figure 1, the "special figure 1_probability variation pattern 1" is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device 81a, and the "probability variation jackpot" by the lottery of the special figure 1 1” has a distribution rate of 20% (see FIG. 8). In addition, when the "probable variable jackpot 2" is won by the lottery of the special figure 1, the "special figure 1_probable variable pattern 2" is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device 81a, and the "probable variable jackpot" by the lottery of the special figure 1 2” has a distribution rate of 20% (see FIG. 8). Furthermore, when "probability variable jackpot 3" is won by the lottery of special figure 1, "special figure 1_probability variation pattern 3" is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device 81a, and "probability variation jackpot" by lottery of special figure 1 1” has a distribution rate of 25% (see FIG. 8).

In addition, the normal jackpot that can be won in the special drawing 1 lottery (first special pattern lottery) is a jackpot that opens the big prize opening 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 4R (see FIG. 8). ). Therefore, if a normal jackpot is won in the lottery of the special figure 1 of this form, the jackpot game 4 whose substantial number of rounds is 4R will be executed. When the ``normal jackpot'' is won, the ``special pattern 1_normal pattern'' is stop-displayed on the first special pattern display device 81a, and the distribution rate of the ``normal jackpot'' becomes 35% by lottery for the special pattern 1. (See Figure 8).

In addition, the probability variable jackpots that can be won in the special figure 2 lottery (second special symbol lottery) have different numbers of rounds. More specifically, a variable jackpot 4 that opens the large winning opening 14 from 1R to 4R over a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R, and a variable variable that opens the large winning opening 14 from 1R to 6R over a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R. Jackpot 5, probability variable jackpot 6 that opens the big prize mouth 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 8R, and probability variable jackpot 7 that opens the big prize mouth 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 10R. (see FIG. 8). Therefore, when winning the probability variable jackpot in the lottery of the special figure 2 of this form, the jackpot game 5 with a substantial number of rounds of 4R, the jackpot game 6 with a substantial number of rounds of 6R, and the substantial number of rounds of 8R Either the jackpot game 7 or the jackpot game 8 with a substantial number of rounds of 10R is executed. In addition, if you win the "probability variable jackpot 4" by the lottery of the special figure 2, the "special figure 2_probability variation pattern 1" is stopped and displayed on the second special figure display device 81b, and the "probability variation jackpot" by the lottery of the special figure 2 4” has a distribution rate of 20% (see FIG. 8). In addition, when "probability variable jackpot 5" is won by the lottery of special figure 2, "special figure 2_probability variation pattern 2" is stopped and displayed on the second special figure display device 81b, and "probability variation jackpot" by lottery of special figure 2 5" has a distribution rate of 20% (see FIG. 8). Furthermore, when "probability variable jackpot 6" is won by the lottery of special figure 2, "special figure 2_probability variation pattern 3" is stopped and displayed on the second special figure display device 81b, and "probability variation jackpot" by lottery of special figure 2 6" has a distribution rate of 20% (see FIG. 8). In addition, when "probability variable jackpot 7" is won by the lottery of special figure 2, "special figure 2_probability variation pattern 4" is stopped and displayed on the second special figure display device 81b, and "probability variation jackpot" by lottery of special figure 2 7" has a distribution rate of 5% (see FIG. 8).

Also, the normal jackpot that can be won in the lottery of the special figure 2 (the lottery of the second special pattern) is a jackpot that opens the big prize opening 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 4R. Therefore, when a normal jackpot is won in the lottery of the special figure 2 of this form, a jackpot game 9 with a substantial number of rounds of 4R is executed. When the ``normal jackpot'' is won, the ``special pattern 2_normal pattern'' is stop-displayed on the second special pattern display 81b, and the distribution ratio of the ``normal jackpot'' by lottery for the special pattern 2 is 35%. .

Even if any jackpot is won, after the jackpot game, it is controlled to an electric support control state (high base state), which will be described later. The electric support control state continues until the next jackpot winning when controlled in accordance with the high probability state. On the other hand, when it is controlled in accordance with the normal probability state (low probability state), the number of times of electric support (time saving number of times) is set to 100 times. The number of electric sapo is the upper limit execution number of times of variable display of special symbols in the electric sapo control state.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the distribution rate of the jackpot in the lottery of the special figure 1 and the lottery of the special figure 2 is 65% for the probability variable jackpot and 35% for the normal jackpot. However, as described above, when a jackpot is won based on the lottery of the special figure 1, a jackpot game with a substantial number of rounds of 4 rounds, 6 rounds, or 8 rounds is executed. On the other hand, when the jackpot is won based on the lottery of special figure 2, not only the jackpot game of 4 rounds, 6 rounds, or 8 rounds, but also the jackpot game of 10 rounds can be executed. The lottery of the special figure 2 is set to be more advantageous to the player than the lottery.

Here, in the pachinko game machine PY1, the lottery for whether or not a big win is made is performed based on the ``random number for the jackpot'', and the lottery for the type of the winning jackpot is performed based on the ``random number for the winning type''. As shown in FIG. 9A, the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0-65535. The winning type random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. In addition to the jackpot random number and the winning type random number, the random numbers obtained based on the winning of the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 include "reach random numbers" and "fluctuation pattern random numbers".

The ready-to-win random number is a random number that determines whether or not to generate a ready-to-win in the effect symbol variation effect indicating the result when the result of the big hit determination is a loss. A reach is a state in which only one of the plurality of performance symbols that is variably displayed remains, and a jackpot is won depending on which symbol the variably displayed performance symbols are stopped and displayed. It is a state (for example, the state of "7↓7") that is a combination of the shown production patterns. Note that the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the ready-to-win state may be displayed as if they are slightly swaying within the display screen 50a, or may be displayed so as to repeat enlargement and reduction. This reach random number takes a value in the range of 0-255.

Also, the fluctuation pattern random number is a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern including fluctuation time. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. Random numbers acquired based on passing through the gate 13 include normal symbol random numbers (hit random numbers) shown in FIG. 9(B). The normal symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (normal symbol lottery) for determining whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 12D. The normal symbol random number takes a value in the range from 0 to 65535.

4. Explanation of Game State Next, the game state of the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment will be explained. The special figure indicator 81 and the normal figure indicator 82 of the pachinko game machine PY1 respectively have a probability variation function and a variation time shortening function. The state in which the probability variation function of the special figure indicator 81 is operating is called "high probability state", and the state in which it is not operating is called "normal probability state (non-high probability state)". In the high probability state, the jackpot probability is higher than in the normal probability state. That is, the jackpot determination is performed using a jackpot determination table that has more values of jackpot random numbers that are determined to be a jackpot than the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (see FIG. 10(A)). That is, when the probability variation function of the special figure indicator 81 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the special symbol by the special figure indicator 81 (that is, the stop symbol) is a jackpot symbol is higher than when it is not activated. becomes higher.

Moreover, the state in which the variable time reduction function of the special figure indicator 81 is operating is called "time saving state", and the state in which it is not operating is called "non-working time saving state". In the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the time of derivation display of the display result) is shorter than in the non-working time saving state. That is, the variation pattern is determined using a variation pattern table that is determined so that a variation pattern with a short variation time is selected more than in the non-time saving state (see FIG. 11). That is, when the variable time shortening function of the special figure display 81 operates, it becomes easy to select a short variable time as the variable display of the special symbol compared to when it is not operating. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure reservation becomes faster, and the effective winning to the starting opening (the winning that can be stored as the special figure reservation) is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit under the smooth progress of the game.

The probability variation function and the variation time reduction function of the special figure indicator 81 may operate simultaneously, or only one of them may operate. Then, the probability variation function and the variation time shortening function of the normal figure indicator 82 are designed to operate in synchronization with the variation time shortening function of the special figure indicator 81 . That is, the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time reduction function of the normal figure display 82 operate|moves in a time saving state, and do not operate|move in a non-time saving state. Therefore, in the time-saving state, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery is higher than in the non-time-saving state. That is, the value of the normal design random number (hit random number) determined to be a hit is determined using a normal design hit determination table that is larger than the normal design hit determination table used in the non-time saving state, and the hit determination (normal design determination) is performed ( See FIG. 10(C)). In other words, when the probability variation function of the normal pattern indicator 82 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the normal symbol by the normal symbol indicator 82 becomes a normal winning symbol is higher than when it is not activated. .

In addition, in the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the normal pattern is shorter than in the non-working time saving state. In the present embodiment, the variation time of normal symbols is 7 seconds in the non-time saving state, but is 1 second in the time saving state (see FIG. 10(D)). Furthermore, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D in the auxiliary game is longer than the non-time saving state (see FIG. 12). That is, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 12D is operating. In addition, in the time-saving state, the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened in the auxiliary game is greater than in the non-time-saving state (see FIG. 12). That is, the function of increasing the number of openings of the electric chew 12D is activated.

When the probability variation function and variation time reduction function of the normal map display 82 and the opening time extension function and opening frequency increase function of the electric chew 12D are operating, compared to when these functions are not operating As a result, the electric chew 12D is frequently opened, and game balls enter the second starting port 12 frequently. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of balls awarded to the number of balls fired, increases. Accordingly, the state in which these functions are activated is referred to as the "high base state" and the state in which they are not activated is referred to as the "low base state." In the high base state, you can aim for a big hit without greatly reducing the number of game balls you have. Note that the high base state is a state in which so-called electric support control (control for supporting winning to the second starting port 12 by the electric chew 12D) is being executed. Therefore, the high base state is also called an electric sapo control state or an easy ball entry state. On the other hand, the low base state is also referred to as a non-electric support control state or a non-entering easy state.

A high base state may not be one in which all of the above functions are active. That is, operation of one or more of the probability variation function of the normal map display 82, the variation time shortening function of the normal map display 82, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 12D, and the opening frequency increasing function of the electric chew 12D. Therefore, it is sufficient that the electric tube 12D can be opened more easily than when the function is not activated. Also, the high base state may be controlled independently without accompanying the time saving state.

In the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment, the game state after the jackpot game by winning the probability variable jackpot is a high probability state, a time saving state and a high base state. This game state is particularly referred to as a "high accuracy high base state". The high-probability-high base state ends when the variable display of the special symbols is executed a predetermined number of times (10000 times in this embodiment), or when a big win is won and the big win game is executed. That is, in this form, the high-probability-high base state substantially continues until the next jackpot election. It should be noted that the end condition of the high-probability-high base state may be only that the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed.

In addition, the game state after the jackpot game by winning the normal jackpot is a normal probability state (non-high probability state, ie, low probability state), time saving state and high base state. This game state is particularly referred to as "low certainty high base state". The low-probability-high base state ends when the variable display of the special symbols is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment), or when a big win is won and the big win game is executed.

When the pachinko game machine PY1 is played for the first time, the game state after the power is turned on is the normal probability state, the non-time saving state, and the low base state. This game state is particularly referred to as a "low probability low base state". The low probability low base state is referred to as "normal game state". Also, the state during execution of the special game (jackpot game) is referred to as "special game state (jackpot game state)". Further, a state in which at least one of the high probability state and the high base state is controlled will be referred to as a "privilege game state".

In a high base state such as a high probability high base state or a low probability high base state, it is possible to advance the game more advantageously by entering the game ball into the right game area 6R (see FIG. 4) by hitting to the right. This is because it is easier to open the electric chew 12D than in the low base state due to the electric sapo control, and it is easier to win the second start opening 12 than to win the first start opening 11. . Therefore, the game ball is passed to the gate 13 which triggers the normal symbol lottery, and the game ball is hit to the right to win the game ball to the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加As a result, it is possible to obtain a larger number of starting prizes (winning at the starting opening) than when hitting left. In addition, in this pachinko game machine PY1, the game is played by hitting to the right even during the jackpot game.

On the other hand, in the low base state, the game can be played more advantageously by entering the game ball into the left game area 6L (see FIG. 4) by hitting to the left. Since the electric sapo control is not executed, it is difficult to open the electric chew 12D compared to the high base state, and winning the first starting port 11 is easier than winning the second starting port 12. It is because Therefore, left-handed hitting is performed in order to make the game ball enter the first starting port 11.例文帳に追加This allows you to get more starting prizes than hitting right.

5. Features of production of this form In this form, the production mode is set corresponding to each game state. The production mode is a mode of production in the image display device 50 . If the production mode is different, the image displayed on the display screen 50a of the image display device 50 is different, such as the characters, items, and background images that appear, and the variable production is executed in a manner corresponding to the production mode. In this form, there are six kinds of production modes. The day mode corresponding to the low-probability short-time state, which is the basic production mode in it, the night mode corresponding to the low-probability short-time state, and the space mode corresponding to the high-probability short-time state will be explained using FIG. . The remaining production modes will be described later.

When the daytime mode is set, a daytime background image H1 indicating daytime is displayed on the display screen 50a, as shown in FIG. 13(A). Therefore, it is possible to make the player who sees the daytime background image H1 recognize that the game is controlled to the low-probability short-time state (normal game state).

When the night mode is set, a night background image H2 indicating night is displayed on the display screen 50a, as shown in FIG. 13(B). Therefore, it is possible to make the player who sees the night background image H2 recognize that the game is controlled to a relatively advantageous game state (low-probability short-time state). When the night mode is set, as shown in FIG. 13B, a right-handed shot image Ra is displayed in the upper right portion of the display screen 50a to prompt the right-handed player. By displaying this right-handed shot image Ra, the player can grasp the situation in which the player should hit right-handed and aim to win the electric chew 12D.

When the space mode is set, a space background image H3 representing space is displayed on the display screen 50a, as shown in FIG. 13(C). Therefore, it is possible to make the player who sees the space background image H3 recognize that the game state is controlled to the most advantageous game state (high-probability short-time state). Further, while the space mode is set, as shown in FIG. 13(C), a right hitting image Ra is displayed in the upper right portion of the display screen 50a for prompting right hitting. By displaying this right-handed shot image Ra, the player can grasp the situation in which the player should hit right-handed and aim to win the electric chew 12D. It should be noted that, in order to let the player know that they are aiming to win a prize in the electric chew 12D, the lighting of a specific lamp, the output of a specific sound, or the like may be used.

<Production example 1>
Rendering example 1 of this embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 14(A), when the daytime mode is set, a variation effect based on the special figure 1 lottery is executed on the display screen 50a. In the lottery of this special figure 1, it is a prerequisite to win the special figure 1_probability variation pattern 1. In this case, the jackpot game is started through a variable effect indicating that the jackpot is won. Then, as shown in FIG. 14(B), a normal battle entry effect is started as an opening effect. Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, a normal battle entry image BUA relating to the opening effect is displayed on the display screen 50a. In this form, when winning a probability variable pattern by lottery of special figures, a normal battle rush effect is executed, and a battle effect may be performed via the normal battle rush effect. In addition, even when the normal pattern is won by lottery of special symbols, the normal battle rush effect is executed, and the battle effect may be performed via the normal battle rush effect. As shown in FIG. 14(C), a battle effect A is executed as a round effect.

(See FIG. 18(F)). As a result, it is possible for the player to understand that the evaluation display image P of the other display mode is the result of the game with the lowest evaluation.

<Production mode after result production>
Next, the effect mode set after the result effect will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the effect mode set after the result effect is different in accordance with the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect displayed on the display screen 50a. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21(A), when the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect displayed on the display screen 50a is "RANK SSS", it is set after the result effect. An empty mode is set as the effect mode. When the sky mode is set, a sky background image H4 representing the sky is displayed on the display screen 50a. Then, when the performance mode is the sky mode and the number of times the special symbol changes exceeds 50 times, the performance mode is shifted from the sky mode to the daytime mode.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 21B, when the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect displayed on the display screen 50a is "RANK SS", the effect set after the result effect is displayed. Forest mode is set as the mode. When the forest mode is set, a forest background image H5 representing a forest is displayed on the display screen 50a. Then, when the performance mode is the forest mode and the number of variations of the special symbols exceeds 30 times, the performance mode is shifted from the forest mode to the daytime mode.

Subsequently, the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect displayed on the display screen 50a is "RANK A" as shown in FIG. 21(C), or "RANK B" as shown in FIG. , the fire mode is set as the effect mode set after the result effect. When the fire mode is set, a fire background image H6 indicating fire is displayed on the display screen 50a. When the performance mode is the fire mode and the number of times the special symbols change exceeds 10 times, the performance mode is shifted from the fire mode to the daytime mode.

Subsequently, when the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect displayed on the display screen 50a is "RANK C", the daytime mode is set (see FIG. 21(E)). When the display mode of the evaluation display image P is "RANK C", the display mode of the evaluation display image P is changed to another display mode ("RANK SSS", "RANK SS", "RANK A", "RANK B"). ), the production mode set after the result production is the daytime mode. Moreover, no matter how many rotations the number of times the special symbol changes in the daytime mode, the performance mode will not change unless the jackpot game is passed.

By the way, in a conventional pachinko gaming machine, the result of the game (for example, the number of executions of the jackpot game) during a predetermined game period from when the jackpot is won in the normal game state to when it returns to the normal game state (except during the jackpot game) and the number of prize balls acquired in the jackpot game) are executed. In the result effect, an evaluation display for evaluating the game result in a predetermined game period is displayed. In the display mode of the evaluation display related to the conventional result effect, even if there are multiple game results in a predetermined game period (the number of consecutive games, the number of prize balls won in the jackpot game, etc.), the results of the multiple games are displayed. It changed only according to the result of one of our games (for example, the number of consecutive games) (for example, when the number of consecutive games was "0 to 3 times", "RANK B" when the number of times is "4 to 6 times").

However, in a conventional pachinko machine, if the result of one game (for example, the number of consecutive games) is counted in a predetermined game period, the display mode of the evaluation display changes in a predetermined game period. Since the player can easily grasp whether the game is to be played, the conventional result effect and the evaluation display related to the result effect lack interest.

Therefore, in this form, a game is played during a predetermined game period (hereinafter referred to as a "rush period") from when the jackpot is won (first hit) in the normal game state to when the normal game state returns (except during the jackpot game). In the result effect for the result, the result of the game in the predetermined game period (the number of prize balls acquired during the execution of the jackpot game, the number of times the jackpot game was executed (number of consecutive games), the number of times that the game was held, the jackpot Along with the suggestion display image suggesting the type of game and the number of executions of the rare effect), the evaluation display image P for the game result in the predetermined game period is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 21). At this time, if the display mode of the suggestive display image changes according to the game result in the predetermined game period, the display mode of the evaluation display image P may also change. As a result, it is possible to make the player pay attention not only to the display mode of the suggestive display image, but also to the display mode of the evaluation display image P. Therefore, various effects displayed on the display screen 50a can provide enjoyment to the pachinko game machine, making it possible to enhance the amusement of the game.

In short, in the present embodiment, when the rush period ends, a result effect showing the evaluation for that rush period is executed. In this result production, as shown in FIGS. 20A to 20E, "RANK SSS", "RANK SS", "RANK A”, “RANK B”, and “RANK C” are displayed. Therefore, the player is most likely to pay attention to the evaluation display image P when the rush period ends. In addition, the "RANK" shown in the evaluation display image P of the present embodiment does not simply reflect the game results such as the number of prize balls won during the rush period and the number of consecutive games during the rush period. The number of executions of the rare effect (special effect) is also reflected (see FIG. 18). That is, when the rush period ends, the evaluation display image P is displayed as a composite evaluation reflecting not only the number of winning balls and the number of consecutive games, which are generally considered by the player, but also the number of times the rare effect is executed. It is Therefore, it is possible for the player to grasp the composite evaluation during the rush period by using the novel evaluation display image P that has not existed in the past, and it is possible to make the player greatly interested in the RANK to be obtained. In addition, the number of prize balls won during the rush period, the number of consecutive games during the rush period, the number of rare effects (special effects) performed, etc., cannot be used to determine the overall evaluation of the rush period. It is possible to perform a result production with improved taste that is not available.

Also, in this form, the game result in the above-described game period is the number of times that the next special figure reservation wins the jackpot based on the result of the prior determination during the execution of the jackpot game (number of times of reservation series) is included. Therefore, the display mode of the display image M indicating the number of holding runs suggested on the display screen 50a changes depending on whether or not the holding run has been performed in a predetermined game period. The display mode changes to "RANK SSS" or "RANK SS" indicating that the game result in the period is highly evaluated (see FIGS. 18(C) and 18(F)). As a result, the player can see how the evaluation display image P will be displayed depending on the game result of the number of holding runs, which is different from the number of consecutive games and the number of prize balls won in the jackpot game as in the conventional pachinko game machine. It is possible to make the player interested in whether or not the player will change, and it is possible to make the game of the pachinko game machine more interesting by the evaluation display related to the result presentation.

In the present embodiment, the game result in the game period described above includes the type of the executed jackpot game (the number of times the predetermined jackpot game (jackpot game 3, jackpot game 8, jackpot game 9) was executed). Therefore, by changing the display mode of the enemy character suggestion display image N displayed on the display screen 50a according to the number of times a predetermined jackpot game is executed in a predetermined game period, the display mode of the evaluation display image P is also changed. It can change to a highly evaluated display mode (see FIGS. 18(D) and 18(F)). As a result, the player can see how the evaluation display image P should be displayed depending on the result of the game, namely, the type of jackpot game, which is different from the number of consecutive games and the number of winning balls won in the jackpot game as in a conventional pachinko game machine. It is possible to make the player interested in whether or not the player will change, and it is possible to make the game of the pachinko game machine more interesting by the evaluation display related to the result presentation.

Further, in this embodiment, the game result in the above-described game period includes the number of times the special battle effect is executed via the special battle rush effect, that is, the number of times of the rare effect. Therefore, by changing the display mode of the rare effect number suggesting display image O displayed on the display screen 50a depending on whether or not the number of rare effects in the predetermined game period has been executed, the display mode of the evaluation display image P is also changed in a predetermined manner. 18(E) and 18(F). As a result, the player can see how the evaluation display image P should be displayed depending on the game results, such as the number of rare effects, which is different from the number of consecutive games and the number of prize balls won in the jackpot game as in the conventional pachinko game machine. It is possible to make the player interested in whether or not the player will change, and it is possible to make the game of the pachinko game machine more interesting by the evaluation display related to the result presentation. In addition, it is possible to make the player guess the relationship between whether or not the rare effect has been executed and the display mode of the evaluation display image P, thereby making the game of the pachinko game machine more interesting.

Further, in this embodiment, the effect mode after the result effect is changed according to the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect (see FIG. 21). Furthermore, the higher the evaluation of the game result in the predetermined game period, the greater the number of variations of the special symbols in the set production mode. Thus, by arousing interest in which performance mode is set after the result performance, attention is paid to the display mode of the suggestive display image and the display mode of the evaluation display image P displayed on the display screen 50a more than ever. It becomes possible to make the game of the pachinko game machine more interesting by the evaluation display related to the result performance.

6. Operation of Game Control Microcomputer 101 [Main Control Main Processing] Next, the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that counters, timers, flags, statuses, buffers, etc. appearing in the explanation of the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 are provided in the game RAM 104 . The game control microcomputer 101 provided on the game control board 100 reads and executes the main control main processing program shown in FIG. 22 from the game ROM 103 when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, initial setting is first performed (step S001). In the initial settings, for example, stack setting, constant setting, interrupt time setting, game CPU 102 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) setting, various flags, status and counters, etc. reset, etc. The initial value of the flag is "0" or "OFF", the initial value of the status is "1", and the initial value of the counter is "0". Note that the initial setting (S001) is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

After the initial setting (S001), interrupts are prohibited (S002), and the normal design/special design main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003), 1 is added to various random number counter values related to the normal symbol related determination information and the special symbol related determination information shown in FIG. 9 and updated. When each random number counter value reaches the upper limit, it returns to "0" and is added again. The initial value of each random number counter may be a value other than "0", or may be changed randomly. Also, each random number may be a so-called hardware random number generated using a known random number generation circuit such as a counter IC.

When the normal design/special design main random number update process (S003) ends, the interrupt is permitted (S004). While interrupts are enabled, it is possible to execute main-side timer interrupt processing (S005). The main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed based on an interrupt pulse that is repeatedly input to the game CPU 102, for example, at a 4 msec cycle. That is, it is executed at a cycle of 4 msec, for example. And, after the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is completed, before the next main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is started, various counters by normal design / special design main random number update processing (S003) Value update processing is repeatedly executed. If an interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 in the interrupt disabled state, the main timer interrupt processing (S005) is not started immediately, but is started after the interrupt is permitted (S004).

[Main Side Timer Interrupt Processing] Next, the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 23, in the main side timer interrupt process (S005), first, the output process (S101) is executed. In the output process (S101), commands set in the output buffer provided in the game RAM 104 of the game control board 100 in each process described below are output to the effect control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

In the input process (S102) that follows the output process (S101), various sensors (first start sensor 11a, second start sensor 12a, gate sensor 13a, big prize The detection signals detected by the mouth sensor 14a, general prize winning mouth sensor 10a, etc. (see FIG. 6) are read and stored (set) in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 as winning ball information. Specifically, a counter is divided for each game state, and, for example, in the case of a jackpot game state, the value of the jackpot prize number counter is added. Then, a prize ball command for paying out the number of prize balls corresponding to the type of the winning hole is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104.例文帳に追加Also, a detection signal from the lower tray full switch for detecting the fullness of the lower tray 35 is taken in and stored in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 as lower tray full data.

The normal design/special design main random number update process (S103) performed next is the same as the normal design/special design main random number update process (S003) performed in the main control main process of FIG. That is, the update processing of various random number counter values (including the normal symbol random number counter value) shown in FIG. ) until the start of the next main-side timer interrupt process (S005)).

After normal design/special design main random number update process (S103), sensor detection process (S104), normal operation process (S105), and special operation process (S106), which will be described later, are executed. Thereafter, other processing (S107) is executed, and the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) ends. As other processing (S107), based on the number of special-figure 2 reserved balls described later, the second special-figure reservation display 83b is controlled to a display mode indicating the number, or based on the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls described later. It controls the display mode which shows the number of the 1st special figure reservation indicator 83a. Then, the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main processing is repeatedly executed until the next interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 (see FIG. 22), and when the interrupt pulse is input (after about 4 msec), The main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed again. In the output processing (S101) of the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) executed again, the commands set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) are output.

[Sensor detection process] As shown in FIG. 24, in the sensor detection process (S104), first, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate 13, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the gate sensor 13a ( S201). If the game ball has passed through the gate 13 (YES in S201), a gate passage process, which will be described later, is performed (S202). On the other hand, if the game ball has not passed through the gate 13 (NO in S201), the process skips the gate passing process (S202) and proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the second start hole 12, that is, whether or not a game ball has been detected by the second start hole sensor 12a (S203). When the game ball has not won the second start port 12 (NO in S203), the process proceeds to step S207, but when the game ball has won the second start port 12 (YES in S203), the special figure 2 Whether the number of pending balls (the number of second special pending, specifically the number of the counter that counts the number of second special pending provided in the game RAM 104) has reached "4" (upper limit storage number) (S204). Then, if the number of special 2 pending balls has reached "4" (YES in S204), the process proceeds to step S208, but if the number of special 2 pending balls is less than "4" (in S204 NO), 1 is added to the number of reserved balls of special figure 2 (S205).

Then special figure 2 relation random number acquisition processing is done (S206). In the special figure 2 random number acquisition process (S206), the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A), the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS), the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC) and fluctuation Obtain the pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (that is, obtain the random value group shown in FIG. 9 (A)), the obtained random values of the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b of the current special figure 2 Stored in the storage area of the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b corresponding to the number of reservation balls.

Next, special figure 2 prior decision processing is done (S207). In the special figure 2 pre-determination process, the second pre-reading determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, the current game state and the information acquired in step S206 are collated to identify the pre-determination command, and the identified pre-determination command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 . The pre-determination command includes information derived from information on the game state and information acquired in step S206.

Subsequently, in the sensor detection process (S104), it is determined whether or not the game ball has entered the first start hole 11, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the first start hole sensor 11a (S208). When the game ball has not won the first start port 11 (NO in S208), the process is finished, but when the game ball has won the first start port 11 (YES in S208), the special figure 1 is reserved. Whether the number of balls (the number of the first special figure reservation, specifically the numerical value of the counter that counts the number of the first special figure reservation provided in the game RAM 104) has reached "4" (upper limit storage number) Judge (S209). Then, if the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls has reached "4" (YES in S209), the process ends, but if the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls is less than "4" (NO in S209 ), and add "1" to the number of reserved balls of special figure 1 (S210).

Subsequently, special figure 1 related random number acquisition processing (S211) is performed, followed by special figure 1 prior determination processing (S212), and this processing is finished. In the special figure 1 related random number acquisition process (S211), like the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (S206), the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A), the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) , Obtain the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC) and the fluctuation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (that is, obtain the random value group shown in FIG. 9 (A)), and obtain the obtained random value It is stored in the storage area of the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a corresponding to the current number of special figure 1 reservation balls among the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a.

Next, in the special figure 1 pre-determination process (S212), the first pre-reading determination table corresponding to the first special symbol is collated with the information acquired in step S211 with the current game state to identify the pre-determination command, The specified pre-determination command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 . The pre-determination command includes information derived from information on the game state and information acquired in step S206.

[Gate Passing Process] As shown in FIG. 25, in the gate passing process (S202), the number of normal pattern reserved balls (the number of normal pattern reservations, specifically a counter that counts the number of normal pattern reservations provided in the game RAM 104 value) is 4 or more (S301), and if the number of normal design reserved balls is 4 or more (YES in S301), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the number of normal design reserved balls is not 4 or more (NO in S301), "1" is added to the number of normal design reserved balls (S302), and normal design random number acquisition processing is performed (S303). In the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S303), the normal symbol random number counter value (label-TRND-H value, see FIG. 9(B)) is acquired, and the acquired random value is stored in the normal symbol reservation storage unit 106 of the game RAM 104. Among them, it is stored in a storage area according to the current number of normal design reserved balls.

[Normal Operation Process] The game control microcomputer 101 performs the normal operation process (S105) following the sensor detection process (S104) (see FIG. 23). As shown in FIG. 26, in the normal operation process (S105), first, it is determined whether or not the power chew 12D is in operation (S401). If the electric chew 12D is not in operation (NO in S401), then it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is stopped (S402). If the normal symbols are not being stopped and displayed (NO in S402), then it is determined whether or not the normal symbols are being displayed in a variable manner (S403). If the variable display of normal symbols is not in progress (NO in S403), then it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of normal symbols is "0" (S404). If the number of reserved balls in the normal design is "0" (YES in S404), this process ends.

In step S404, if the number of reserved balls of normal symbols is not "0" (NO in S404), hit determination processing is performed (S405). In the hit determination process (S405), the normal symbol random number counter value (label-TRND-H value) stored in the normal pattern reservation storage unit 106 is read, and based on the normal symbol hit determination table shown in FIG. 10 (C) It is determined whether it hits or not. Then, a pattern determination process is performed to set the normal pattern stop pattern data according to the result of the hit determination in a predetermined storage area of the game RAM 104 (S406). That is, in the symbol determination process (S406), if it is "losing", data corresponding to "general figure losing symbol" is set, and if "hitting", data corresponding to "normal winning symbol" is set.

Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 performs normal symbol variation time determination processing (S407). In normal design fluctuation time determination processing (S407), referring to the normal design fluctuation pattern selection table shown in FIG. Choose a pattern. On the other hand, if the game state is a non-time-saving state, a normal design variation pattern in which the normal design variation time is 7 seconds is selected.

Next, the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of normal symbol reserved balls by one (S408). Then, the storage location (storage area) of each general pattern reservation in the general pattern reservation storage unit 106 is shifted by one from the current position to the side to be read, and the memory corresponding to the fourth reservation in the general pattern reservation storage unit 106 Clear the area (storage area farthest from the read side) (S409). In this way, it is made to be digested in the order in which the general map reservation was reserved. After that, the game control microcomputer 101 starts variable display of normal symbols in the normal symbol variation pattern selected in step S407 (S410). Along with this, in order to inform the effect control board 120 of the start of normal symbol variation, a normal symbol variation start command is set.

If it is during the fluctuation display of the normal design in the above step S403 (YES in S403), then it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time of the normal design has passed (S411), and if it has not passed, the process is finished. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S411), the variable display of normal symbols is stopped with the display result (normal winning symbol or normal losing symbol) according to the determination result of the normal symbol random number (S412). Then, a normal symbol fluctuation stop command for informing the effect control board 120 of the normal symbol fluctuation stop is set (S413), and the normal symbol stop time is set (S414), and this process is finished.

Also, if the stop display of the normal design is in progress at step S402 described above (YES at S402), then it is determined whether or not the stop time of the normal design set at step S414 has passed (S415). If not, terminate the process. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S415), it is determined whether or not the normal pattern stop pattern data of the normal winning pattern is set (S416), and if it is not the data of the normal winning pattern (that is, if it is not a hit (NO in S416)), and this processing ends. On the other hand, if it is normal winning pattern data (that is, if it is winning (YES in S416)), the opening pattern of the electric chew 12D is set (S417). Specifically, if it is in the time saving state, the opening pattern during the time saving state (see the electric chew opening TBL2 in FIG. 12) is set as the opening pattern of the electric chew 12D. On the other hand, if it is in the non-time-saving state, the open pattern (see electric-tube open TBL1 in FIG. 12) during the non-time-saving state is set as the open pattern of the electric chew 12D. Then, according to the opening pattern set in step S417, the electric chew 12D is operated (S418).

Also, if the electric chew 12D is in operation in the above-described step S401 (YES in S401), then it is determined whether or not the operation time of the electric chew 12D has elapsed (S419). Finish processing. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S419), the operation of the electric chew 12D is terminated (S420).

[Special Action Processing] After the normal action processing (S105), the game control microcomputer 101 performs special action processing (S106) (see FIG. 23). As shown in FIG. 27, in the special operation process (S106), the processing relating to the special figure display 81 and the big winning device 14D is divided into four stages, and "special operation statuses 1, 2, 3, 4" are added to each stage. are assigned. Then, when the "special action status" is "1" (YES in S1301), the game control microcomputer 101 performs special symbol standby processing (S1302), and the "special action status" is "2". In case (NO in S1301, YES in S1303), special symbol fluctuation processing (S1304) is performed, and if "special operation status" is "3" (NO in S1301, S1303, YES in S1305) , Special symbol determination processing (S1306) is performed, and when the "special action status" is "4" (S1301, S1303, S1305 are all NO), special electric accessory processing (S1307) is performed. Note that the special operation status is "1" by default.

[Special Symbol Standby Processing] As shown in FIG. 28, in the special symbol standby processing (S1302), first, whether or not the number of reserved balls in the second starting port 12 (that is, the number of special figure 2 reserved balls) is "0". is determined (S1401). If the special figure 2 reserved ball number is "0" (YES in S1401), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second start port 12, the first start It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of mouth 11 (that is, the number of reserved balls of special figure 1) is "0" (S1407). And, if the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is also "0" (YES in S1407), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the first start port 11, the customer It is determined whether or not the wait flag is ON (S1415). If it is ON (YES at S1415), this process is terminated, and if it is not ON (NO at S1415), the customer waiting command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 (S1416), and the customer waiting flag is turned ON ( S1417), this process ends.

In step S1401, if the number of special figure 2 reserved balls is not "0" (NO in S1401), that is, the storage of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second start port 12 (special figure 2 reservation information ), if there is one or more, special figure 2 jackpot determination processing (S1402) and special figure 2 variation pattern selection processing (S1403) to be described later are performed. After that, the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of special figure 2 reserved balls by 1 (S1404). Then, the storage location (storage area) of various counter values in the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b is shifted by one to the side read from the current position, and the first reservation in the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b Clear the storage area corresponding to (S1405). Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes special figure 2 fluctuation start processing (S1406), and proceeds to step S1413. In the special figure 2 fluctuation start process (S1406), while setting the special operation status to "2", the fluctuation start command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104, and the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is started. In addition, the variation start command (also called the special figure 2 variation start command) set in the special figure 2 variation start process (S1406) includes the special figure stop design data set in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402) Information and information of the variation pattern set in the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403) (information including information on variation time) is included.

Also, if the number of special 2 reserved balls is "0" but the number of special 1 reserved balls is not "0" (YES in S1401 and NO in S1407), that is, there is no reservation information of special 2, If there is one or more memories of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the 1 start port 11 (reservation information of special figure 1), special figure 1 jackpot determination processing (S1408) and special figure to be described later 1 fluctuation pattern selection processing (S1409) is performed. After that, the game control microcomputer 101 decrements the number of special figure 1 reserved balls by 1 (S1410). Then, the storage location (storage area) of various counter values in the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a is shifted by one to the side read from the current position, and the fourth reservation in the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a (S1411). In this way, the first special figure reservation is digested in the order in which it was reserved. Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes special figure 1 fluctuation start processing (S1412), and proceeds to step S1413. In the special figure 1 fluctuation start process (S1412), while setting the special operation status to "2", the fluctuation start command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104, and the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is started. In addition, the variation start command (also called the special figure 1 variation start command) set in the special figure 1 variation start process (S1412) is the special figure stop pattern data set in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) Information and information (information including information on fluctuation time) of the fluctuation pattern set in the special figure 1 fluctuation pattern selection process (S1409) is included.

When proceeding to step S1413, it is determined whether or not the customer waiting flag is ON, and if it is ON, the customer waiting flag is turned OFF (S1414), and the process is finished. As described above, in this embodiment, the variable display of the special symbols based on the first special figure reservation is performed only when the second special figure reservation is "0" (YES in S1401). That is, digestion of the second special figure reservation is executed with priority over digestion of the first special figure reservation.

[Special figure 2 jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process)] Special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402) and special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) have the same processing flow, so based on FIG. will be explained together. As shown in FIG. 29, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402) or the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), first, as the determination value, the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A value) is read (S1501 ). Specifically, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402), in the first storage area of the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b of the game RAM 104 (that is, the storage area corresponding to the first second special figure reservation) Read out the stored jackpot random number counter value. Also, in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a of the game RAM 104 is stored in the first storage area (that is, the storage area corresponding to the first item of the first special figure reservation). Read the jackpot random number counter value.

Next, the jackpot determination table (FIG. 10(A)) is set (S1502). Next, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON, that is, whether or not the state is a high probability state (S1503). Then, if it is not a high probability state (NO in S1503), that is, if it is a normal probability state (non-high probability state), the table for the non-high probability state (jackpot judgment It is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the value "1" to "210") (S1504). On the other hand, if it is in a high probability state (YES in S1503), whether it is a big hit based on the table for the high probability state (jackpot judgment value is "1" to "1660") out of the big hit judgment table (Fig. 10 (A)) It is determined whether or not (S1505).

If the result of the jackpot determination (S1504, S1505) is "jackpot", the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS value) is read, and the hit type is determined based on the hit type determination table shown in FIG. (S1506). After determining the hit type (S1506), the jackpot flag is turned ON (S1507), and the special figure stop pattern data (see FIG. 8) corresponding to the hit type is set in the hit type buffer provided in the game RAM 104. (S1508) to finish the process. On the other hand, if the result of the big hit determination (S1504, S1505) is "losing", the special figure stop design data (01H) corresponding to the losing design is set (S1508) and the process ends.

[Special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (special figure 1 variation pattern selection process)] Special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403) and special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409) Because the flow of processing is the same A collective description will be given with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31. FIG. As shown in FIG. 30, in the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403) or special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409), first, it is determined whether the game state is a time saving state (whether the time saving flag is ON) (S1601).

If it is not a time saving state (NO in S1601), that is, if it is a non time saving state, then it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S1602). If it is ON (YES in S1602), with reference to the non-time-saving state jackpot normal table (part corresponding to the non-time-saving state and jackpot of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11), the fluctuation pattern random number counter value A variation pattern is selected based on (label-TRND-value of T1) (S1603). As shown in FIG. 11, when the variation pattern is determined, the variation time is also determined.

In the variable performance of the pachinko game machine PY1, SP (Super Reach) can be executed in addition to Do Not Disturb and Normal Reach. The misalignment is a variable effect in which the combination of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is stopped and displayed in a separate pattern (for example, "458"). Normal ready-to-win is a variable effect in which the development effect is not executed after forming the above-described ready-to-win, and the remaining effect symbol that continues to be variably displayed is stopped and displayed. The SP reach is a variable effect in which the development effect is executed after forming the above-described reach, and the change time after the reach is longer than that of the normal reach. Thus, in this embodiment, the variation pattern is selected so that Dohazure, normal reach, and SP reach can be executed.

In SP reach, distribution ratios of various variation patterns are set so that the degree of winning expectation (degree of expectation for winning a jackpot) is higher than in normal reach (see FIG. 11). Therefore, when the player sees the SP reach with a long fluctuation time, it can be understood that the winning expectation is higher than that of the normal reach. Here, the SP reach includes types of weak SP reach A, weak SP reach B, and strong SP reach. Distribution ratios of various variation patterns are set in the order of weak SP reach A→weak SP reach B→strong SP reach so that the degree of expectation for winning the jackpot increases. Therefore, the player can understand that the winning expectation is very high by looking at the strong SP reach, and can understand that the winning expectation is somewhat high by looking at the weak SP reach B, and the weak SP reach. Looking at A, it can be understood that the expectation of winning is not very high.

In step S1602 shown in FIG. 30, if the jackpot flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC value) is a reach establishment random value (S1604). In addition, as shown in FIG. 10(B), the reach establishment random number is "1" to "30" if it is a non-time saving state, and is "1" to "10" if it is a time saving state. That is, the time-saving state is less likely to reach when losing than the non-time-saving state. This is in order to speed up the digestion speed of the special figure pending by making it possible to select more short reach no loss with short fluctuation time in the time saving state.

If the reach random number counter value is a reach establishment random number value (YES in S1604), that is, in the case of reach loss, there is reach loss table during non-time saving state (non-out of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11 With reference to the time saving state and the part corresponding to the loss with reach), the variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1605).

On the other hand, if the reach random number counter value is not a reach establishment random value (NO in S1604), that is, in the case of reach no loss, the reach no loss table during the non-time saving state (out of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11 The part corresponding to the non-time-saving state and reach-less loss) is referred to, and the variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1606). At the time of loss without reach, the function of shortening variation according to the number of held balls works. That is, when the number of reserved balls in the special design is "3" or "4", a variation pattern with a shorter fluctuation time than when the number of reserved balls in the special design is "0" to "2" is selected. (See FIG. 11).

Also in step S1601, if it is determined that the gaming state is a time saving state (YES in S1601), as shown in FIG. The part corresponding to the time saving state among the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table) is performed in the same flow as the above steps S1602 to S1606 (S1607 to S1611).

That is, if it is a jackpot, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value by referring to the portion corresponding to the jackpot in the time saving state of FIG. 11 (S1608). Also, if there is a reach loss, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value by referring to the part corresponding to the time saving state in FIG. 11 and the loss with reach (S1610). Moreover, if it is a reach-less loss, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value by referring to the portion corresponding to the reach-less loss in the time saving state of FIG. 11 (S1611).

In addition, in the special figure variation pattern determination table in the time saving state (the part corresponding to the time saving state of the special figure variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 11), the function of shortening variation according to the number of pending balls when there is no reach It works when the number of held balls is "2" to "4". That is, shortening variation is more likely to be selected than during the non-time saving state. In addition, the fluctuation time as shortening fluctuation is shorter during the time saving state than during the non-working time saving state. That is, the special figure variation pattern determination table in the time saving state is a table such that the variation time is shorter than the special figure variation pattern determination table in the non time saving state.

After selecting the variation pattern as described above, as shown in FIG. 30, the selected variation pattern is set (S1612), and this process ends. Information on the variation pattern set in step S1612 is included in the variation start command set in step S1406 or S1412 in the special symbol standby process (S1302), and sent to the effect control board 120 by the output process (S101).

[Special symbol fluctuation process] As shown in FIG. 32, in the special symbol fluctuation process (S1304), first, the special symbol fluctuation time (variation time determined according to the fluctuation pattern selected in step S1403 or S1409, FIG. 11 See) has passed (S1801). If it has not elapsed (NO in S1801), this process is terminated immediately. As a result, the variable display of the special symbols is continued.

On the other hand, if the fluctuation time has elapsed (YES in S1801), a fluctuation stop command is set (S1802), and the special action status is set to "3" (S1803). Then, after performing other processing such as stopping the variable display of the special symbols with the symbols (jackpot symbols or losing symbols) corresponding to the set special symbol stop symbol data (S1804), this processing is finished.

[Special symbol determination process] As shown in FIG. 33, in the special symbol determination process (S1306), first, the special symbol stop time (stop time determined according to the variation pattern selected in step S1403 or S1409, see FIG. 11) (S1901). If it has not passed (NO in S1901), this process is terminated immediately. As a result, the stop display of the special symbols is continued. On the other hand, if the stop time has elapsed (YES in S1901), a game state management process, which will be described later, is performed (S1902).

Next, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S1903). If the jackpot flag is ON (YES in S1903), an opening pattern (see FIG. 8 for details) corresponding to the type of jackpot won is set (S1904). At this time, the value of a round counter that counts the number of unit open games (round games) executed during the jackpot game is set to the number of rounds corresponding to the type of jackpot won. Note that the setting of the release pattern (the set of data corresponding to the release pattern) may be performed for each round.

After step S1904, the game control microcomputer 101 performs game state reset processing (S1905). In the game state reset process (S1905), first, if the probability variation flag is ON, the probability variation flag is turned OFF, and if the time saving flag is ON, it is turned OFF. In other words, during execution of the jackpot game, it is controlled to a non-high probability state and a non-time saving state. After that, in order to start the jackpot game, a jackpot opening command is set (S1906), and the opening of the jackpot game is started (S1907). Then, the special action status is set to "4" (S1908), and this processing ends.

Also, if the jackpot flag is not ON in step S1903 (NO in S1903), the jackpot game is not started, so the special action status is set to "1" (S1909), and this process ends.

[Playing State Management Processing] As shown in FIG. 34, in the playing state management processing (S1902), first, it is determined whether or not the variable probability flag is ON (S2001). If it is ON (YES in S2001), the value of the probability variation counter that counts the number of variations of the special symbols executed during the high probability state is decremented by 1 (S2002), and whether the value of the probability variation counter is "0" Judge (S2003). If it is "0" (YES in S2003), the variable probability flag is turned OFF (S2004), and the process proceeds to step S2005. If the determination result of step S2001 or S2003 is NO, the process immediately proceeds to step S2005.

In step S2005, it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is ON. If it is ON (YES in S2005), decrement the value of the time saving counter that counts the number of variations of the special symbols executed during the time saving state by 1 (S2006), and determine whether the value of the time saving counter is "0" (S2007). If it is "0" (YES in S2007), turn off the time saving flag (S2008) and proceed to step S2009. If the determination result of step S2005 or S2007 is NO, the process immediately proceeds to step S2009. In step S2009, a game state designation command including information on the current game state (information on whether the variable probability flag and the time saving flag are ON or OFF), information on the value of the variable probability counter and the value of the time saving counter, etc. The data is set in the output buffer of the RAM 104, and this processing ends.

[Special Electric Accessory Process (Big Win Game)] As shown in FIG. 35, in the special electric accessary process (S1307), first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot end flag is ON (S2201). The jackpot end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the jackpot 14 has been completed in the jackpot game being executed.

If the jackpot end flag is not ON (NO in S2201), it is determined whether or not the big prize opening 14 is open (S2202). If it is not open (NO in S2202), whether the time has come to open the big winning port 14, that is, whether the time for opening the jackpot game has passed and the time has come for the start of opening in the first round game, or Then, it is determined whether or not the interval time (closing time) until the once-closed big winning port 14 is reopened has passed and the opening start time has come (S2203).

If the determination result in step S2203 is NO, the process ends. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S2203 is YES, the big winning opening 14 is opened according to the opening pattern (see FIG. 8) corresponding to the type of big win (S2204).

In the following step S2205, round designation command transmission determination processing is performed. In the round designation command transmission determination process (S2205), it is determined whether or not the opening of the large winning opening 14 in step S2204 is the first opening during one round game, and if so, the jackpot game being executed A round designation command including information on the number of rounds is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 . It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the large winning opening 14 is not opened a plurality of times during one round game. Therefore, in step S2205, the round designation command is always set.

In step S2202 of the special electric accessory processing (S1307), if the large winning opening 14 is open (YES in S2202), it is determined whether or not the conditions for closing the large winning opening 14 are established (S2206). In this form, the closing condition is that the number of prizes to be won into the big winning hole 14 in the round game reaches the specified maximum number of winnings (8 per 1R in this form), or the time to close the big winning hole 14 (that is, the predetermined opening time (see FIG. 8) has passed since the opening of the big winning opening 14) is satisfied. Then, if the conditions for closing the big winning opening 14 are not met (NO in S2206), the process is finished.

On the other hand, if the condition for closing the big winning opening 14 is satisfied (YES in S2206), the big winning opening 14 is closed (blocked) (S2207). Then, it is determined whether or not one round game ends due to the closing of step S2207 (S2208). If one round game has not ended (NO in S2208), this process ends. On the other hand, when one round game is completed (YES in S2208), the value of the round counter is decremented by 1 (S2209), and it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter is "0" (S2210). . If it is not "0" (NO at S2210), the process ends as it is to start the next round game.

On the other hand, if it is "0" (YES in S2210), as a jackpot ending process for ending the jackpot game, a jackpot ending command is set (S2211), and a jackpot ending is started (S2212). Then, the jackpot end flag is set (S2213), and the process ends.

Also, if the jackpot end flag is ON in step S2201 (YES in S2201), the final round has ended, so it is determined whether or not the jackpot ending time has elapsed (S2214). If the ending time has not passed (NO in S2214), the process ends. On the other hand, if the ending time has passed (YES in S2214), the jackpot end flag is turned OFF (S2215), the jackpot flag is turned OFF (S2216), and the special action status is set to "1" (S2217). As a result, in the next main timer interrupt process (S005), the special symbol standby process (S1302) is executed again as the special action process (see FIG. 27). After that, a game state setting process (S2218), which will be described later, is performed, and this process ends.

[Game state setting process] As shown in FIG. 36, in the game state setting process (S2218), first, the type of jackpot is a definite variable jackpot (stop pattern is special figure 1 _ definite variant pattern 1, special figure 1 _ definite variant pattern 2, special figure 1 _ Probability variation pattern 3, special figure 2_probability variation pattern 1, special figure 2_probability variation design 2, special figure 2_probability variation design 3, or special figure 2_probability variation design 4, see FIG. 8) (S2301). If it is not a probability variable jackpot, that is, if the normal jackpot (the stop pattern is a special figure 1_normal pattern or a special figure 2_normal pattern, see FIG. 8) (NO in S2301), the time saving flag is turned on (S2306), and the time saving "100" is set in the counter (S2307), and the process proceeds to step S2308. As a result, the game state after the big hit game this time becomes the normal probability state, time saving state, and high base state (that is, low probability high base state). This low-probability-high base state ends when either condition is satisfied that the special symbols are displayed 100 times or that the next jackpot is won.

On the other hand, if it is a probability variable jackpot in step S2301, the probability variable flag is turned ON (S2302), and the time saving flag is turned ON (S2303). And "10000" is set to the variable probability counter (S2304), "10000" is set to the time saving counter (S2305), and the process proceeds to step S2308. As a result, the game state after the current jackpot game becomes a high-probability state, a time-saving state, and a high-base state (that is, a high-probability-high-base state). This high-probability-high base state will continue until the next jackpot is substantially won. Since it is almost impossible that the variable display of the special symbol is executed until the value of the variable probability counter and the value of the time reduction counter change from "10000" to "0", the probability variable flag and the time reduction flag will start the next jackpot game. This is because it is not turned off until the It should be noted that the high probability state may be continued until the next jackpot is won by using only the probability variation flag without providing the probability variation counter.

In step S2308, the game state specifying command including information on the current game state (information on whether the variable probability flag and the time saving flag are ON or OFF), information on the value of the variable probability counter and the value of the time saving counter, etc. The data is set in the output buffer of the RAM 104, and this processing ends.

7. Operation of Effect Control Microcomputer 121 [Sub Control Main Processing] Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that counters, timers, flags, statuses, buffers, etc. appearing in the description of the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124 . The effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the effect control board 120 reads out and executes the sub-control main processing program shown in FIG. 37 from the effect ROM 123 when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main processing, CPU initialization processing is first performed (S4001). In CPU initialization processing (S4001), stack setting, constant setting, setting of CPU 122 for effect, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), etc. are performed.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the performance RAM 124 are normal (S4002). If the determination result is NO, the effect RAM 124 is initialized (S4003), and the process proceeds to step S4004. On the other hand, if the determination result is YES (YES in S4002), the process proceeds to step S4004 without initializing the RAM 124 for effect. That is, if the power cutoff signal is not ON, or if the contents of the RAM 124 for effects are not normal even if the power cutoff signal is ON (NO in S4002), the RAM 124 for effects is initialized, but the power cutoff signal is generated due to a power failure or the like. is turned ON but the contents of the effect RAM 124 are maintained normally (YES in S4002), the effect RAM 124 is not initialized. Incidentally, if the effect RAM 124 is initialized, the values of various flags, statuses, counters and the like are reset. Also, these steps S4001 to S4003 are executed only once after the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

In step S4004, interrupts are prohibited. Next, random number seed update processing is executed (S4005). In the random number seed update process (S4005), the values of various effect determination random number counters are updated. The random numbers for determining the effect include random numbers for determining the effect pattern for determining the effect pattern, random numbers for determining the variable effect pattern lottery for determining the variable effect pattern, random numbers for determining the previous effect for determining various advance effects, etc. There is The random number update method can be the same method as the random number update process performed by the game control board 100 described above. Instead of adding 1 to the random value at the time of updating, it is also possible to add 2 at a time. This also applies to the random number update process performed by the game control board 100 described above.

When the random number seed update process (S4005) ends, the command transmission process is executed (S4006). In the command transmission process ( S4006 ), various commands stored in the output buffer in the performance RAM 124 of the performance control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140 . The image control board 140 that has received the command executes various effects (variation effect, opening effect associated with the jackpot game, round effect, ending effect, etc.) using the image display device 50 according to the command. In addition, along with the execution of various effects by the image control board 140, the effect control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 610 via the sound control board 161, and outputs the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp via the sub-drive board 162. 212 is made to emit light, and the board movable body 55k is driven. The effect control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits an interrupt (S4007). Thereafter, steps S4004 to S4007 are looped. While interrupts are enabled, reception interrupt processing (S4008), 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009), and 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) can be executed.

[Receiving interrupt processing] Receiving interrupt processing (S4008) is performed based on the strobe signal (STB signal) sent from the game control board 100 being input to the external INT input section of the effect control microcomputer 121. That is, unless the strobe signal is input to the external INT input section of the effect control microcomputer 121, the reception interrupt process (S4008) is not performed. As shown in FIG. 38, in the reception interrupt process (S4008), various commands transmitted from the game control board 100 are stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S4101). This reception interrupt process (S4008) is a process that is executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4009, S4010).

[1 ms timer interrupt processing] 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009) is executed each time an interrupt pulse of 1 msec cycle is input to the effect control board 120. As shown in FIG. 39, in the 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009), first, input processing (S4201) is performed. In the input process (S4201), switch data (edge data and level data) is created based on detection signals from the input section detection sensor 40a (see FIG. 7) and the select button detection sensor 42a.

Subsequently, lamp data output processing (S4202) is performed. In the lamp data output process (S4202), the lamp data created in the other process (S4305) in the 10ms timer interrupt process (S4010) described later is sub-driven in order to make the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp 212 emit light at a timing suitable for the effect. Output to substrate 162 . That is, the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp 212 are caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the lamp data.

Next, drive control processing is performed (S4203). In the drive control process (S4203), drive data (board movable body drive data) is created and output in order to drive the board movable body 55k at a timing suitable for performance such as SP reach and big win performance. That is, the board movable body 55k is driven in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data.

After the drive control process (S4203), the watchdog timer process (S4204) for resetting the watchdog timer is performed, and this process ends.

[10 ms timer interrupt processing] 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a period of 10 msec is input to the effect control board 120. As shown in FIG. 40, in the 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010), first, received command analysis processing, which will be described later, is performed (S4301). Subsequently, mode status change processing, which will be described later, is performed (S4302).

Subsequently, a switch state acquisition process is performed to store the switch data created in the input process (S4201) of the 1 ms timer interrupt process (S4009) as switch data for the 10 ms timer interrupt process in the effect RAM 124 (S4303). Then, based on the switch data stored in the switch state acquisition process (S4303), the switch process for setting the display contents of the display screen 50a is performed (S4304).

Subsequently, voice control processing (S4305) is performed. In the audio control process (S4305), audio data (data for controlling the output of audio from the speaker 610) is created, output to the audio control board 161, time management of audio production, and the like are performed. As a result, the speaker 610 outputs a sound that matches the performance to be executed. Then, other processing such as updating random numbers for various effects is executed (S4306), and this processing ends.

[Received Command Analysis Processing] As shown in FIG. 41, in the received command analysis processing (S4301), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not a game state designation command is received from the game control board 100 (S4401). ), and if it has been received, mode status setting processing, which will be described later, is performed (S4402). Also, if the gaming state designation command has not been received (NO in S4401), the process proceeds to step S4403 as it is.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a pre-determination command has been received from the game control board 100 (S4403), and performs pre-reading effect determination processing if received (S4404). If the pre-determination command has not been received (NO in S4403), the process proceeds directly to step S4405. The production control microcomputer 121 that has received the advance determination command includes the jackpot advance judgment result (jackpot judgment information), the jackpot type advance judgment result (jackpot type information), and the fluctuation pattern advance judgment result (fluctuation pattern information). Then, based on the stored information, so-called continuous notice, pending change notice, and pre-reading effects such as holding continuous ending effects that are executed when the next big win is confirmed by prior determination based on the pending memory stored during the big win game. It is determined whether or not to perform, and if it is performed, various settings related to the look-ahead effect are made. It should be noted that the continuous notice is a mutual notice effect that can be executed over a plurality of special figure fluctuations. Further, the pending change notice is a notice effect of displaying an effect pending image in a special display mode with a higher jackpot winning probability than the normal display mode instead of the effect pending image in the normal display mode. Furthermore, the pending ending effect suggests that the next big win is confirmed by prior determination based on the stored pending memory, instead of the ending effect image IA in the normal display mode (see FIG. 17A). This is an ending effect for displaying a holding series ending effect image IB in a special display mode (see FIG. 17(B)).

Note that the performance RAM 124 of the performance control microcomputer 121 of this embodiment is provided with a holding-run counter for counting the number of times the holding-run ending effect (see FIG. 17B) has been executed, that is, the number of times a holding-run has occurred. (not shown). The holding series counter counts the number of holding series performed in a predetermined game period from winning a jackpot in the normal game state to returning to the normal game state (except during the jackpot game).

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a variation start command (special figure 1 variation start command or special figure 2 variation start command) is received from the game control board 100 (S4405), and if received Variation effect start processing is performed (S4406). In the fluctuation production start process (S4406), the fluctuation start command (special figure 1 fluctuation start command or special figure 2 fluctuation start command) is analyzed, and based on the analysis result, the fluctuation production start command for starting the fluctuation production It is set in the output buffer of the RAM 124 for effect. Also, if the fluctuation start command has not been received (NO in S4405), the process proceeds directly to step S4407.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a fluctuation stop command (special figure 1 fluctuation stop command or special figure 2 fluctuation stop command) is received from the game control board 100 (S4407), and if received Fluctuation effect end processing is performed (S4408). In the fluctuation production end processing (S4408), the fluctuation stop command is analyzed, and based on the analysis result, the fluctuation production end command for ending the fluctuation production is set in the output buffer of the production RAM124. Also, if the fluctuation stop command has not been received (NO in S4407), the process proceeds directly to step S4409.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not an opening command is received from the game control board 100 (S4409), and if received, performs opening effect selection processing (S4410). In addition, in this embodiment, the opening command includes information about the special figure stop design data (see FIG. 8) set at the time of winning determination for the jackpot. If the opening command has not been received (NO in S4409), the process proceeds directly to step S4411.

In addition, the performance RAM 124 of the performance control microcomputer 121 of this embodiment is provided with a consecutive house number counter for counting the number of consecutive house games each time an opening command is received (not shown). The number of consecutive games is the total number of jackpot wins during a specific game period from the jackpot win in the normal game state to the return to the normal game state (except during the jackpot game). In addition, the first big win (so-called first win) won in the normal game state is also counted as the number of consecutive games.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a round designation command is received from the game control board 100 (S4411), and if received, performs special round effect selection processing (S4412), which will be described later. A normal round effect selection process, which will be described later, is performed (S4413). If no round designation command has been received (NO in S4411), the process proceeds directly to step S4414. In addition, the production RAM 124 of the production control microcomputer 121 of this embodiment is provided with a special production counter that counts the number of times the special battle production (see FIGS. 16A to 16D) is executed ( not shown). This special performance counter counts the number of times of special battle performance executed in a predetermined game period from winning a jackpot in the normal game state to returning to the normal game state (except during the jackpot game).

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not an ending command is received from the game control board 100 (S4414), and if received, performs an ending effect selection process (S4415). If the ending command has not been received (NO at S4414), the process proceeds directly to step S4416. In this embodiment, the ending command includes information about the special figure stop design data (see FIG. 8) set at the time of determination of winning the jackpot. In addition, in the production RAM 124 of the production control microcomputer 121 of this embodiment, the number of times a predetermined jackpot game has been executed is stored based on the information on the special figure stop pattern data (see FIG. 8) included in the received ending command. A jackpot counter for counting is provided (not shown). A jackpot counter counts the number of times each jackpot game is executed in a predetermined game period from winning a jackpot in a normal game state to returning to a normal game state (except during a jackpot game).

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a prize ball command is received from the game control board 100 (S4416), and if received, performs prize ball count processing (S4417). Also, if the prize ball command is not received (NO in S4416), the process proceeds to step S4418 as it is. In the prize ball count process (S4417), the number of prize balls corresponding to the type of winning hole is counted based on the received ball command. As a result, the total number of prize balls for the jackpot, which is the number of prize balls obtained in the jackpot gaming state, is counted. The effect RAM 124 of the effect control microcomputer 121 of the present embodiment is provided with a counter (not shown) that counts the number of prize balls according to the type of winning hole based on the received prize ball command.

Subsequently, the production control microcomputer 121 performs other processing (S4418) based on received commands other than the above commands (for example, processing for performing customer waiting production based on the reception of the customer waiting command, normal symbol fluctuation Processing for performing normal figure fluctuation production based on the reception of the start command) is performed, and the received command analysis processing (S4301) is finished.

[Mode Status Setting Process] The mode status setting process (S4402) is a process for changing the setting of the production mode in accordance with the change to the game state. The production control microcomputer 121 sets any one of "1", "2", "3", or "4" to the mode status when being controlled in the low-probability short-time state. Moreover, when setting to night mode (refer FIG. 13(B)), when it is controlled by the low certainty short working hours state, "5" is set to a mode status. Moreover, when setting to space mode (refer FIG.13(C)), when it is controlled by the highly reliable time saving state, "6" is set to a mode status. Note that the mode status is "1" by default.

As shown in FIG. 42, the mode status setting process (S4402) first refers to the currently set mode status (S4501). Subsequently, the received gaming state designation command is analyzed (S4502). Next, based on the information included in the game state designation command (information on the value of the variable probability counter, information on the value of the time saving counter), information on the value of various effect counters is updated (S4503). Specifically, the value of the variable probability effect counter provided in the effect RAM 124 is updated based on the information of the value of the variable probability counter. Also, based on the information of the value of the time saving counter, the value of the time saving effect counter provided in the effect RAM 124 is updated.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not to change the mode status based on the game state designation command (S4504). That is, the game state information included in the analyzed game state designation command (information on whether the variable probability flag is ON, information on whether the time saving flag is ON) is the game based on the mode status referred to in step S4501 It is determined whether or not it is different from the state information. If it is determined to change the mode status (YES in S4504), the process proceeds to step S4505. On the other hand, if it is determined not to change (NO in S4504), this processing ends and the process proceeds to step S4403 in FIG.

In step S4505, it is determined whether or not the game state information included in the game state designation command analyzed in step S4502 is the information of the low-probability short working hours state. If it is the information of the low probability non-time saving state (YES in S4505), the low probability non time saving state mode status processing described later is performed (S4506), and the left-handed display command is set to the output buffer of the production RAM 124 (S4507). Thus, when the left-handed display command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the left-handed image (not shown) in the upper left part of the display screen 50a for a predetermined time. By displaying this left-handed image, it is possible to prompt the player to hit left-handed when the state is shifted to a low-probability short-time state (normal game state).

Through step S4507, when proceeding to step S4513, the background effect command based on the setting of the mode set in the low probability non-time saving state mode status processing is set to the output buffer of the RAM 124 for effect. As a result, when the background effect command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the daytime background image H1, A sky background image H4, a forest background image H5, or a fire background image H6 is displayed. In this way, the player can see the daytime background image H1, the sky background image H4, the forest background image H5, or the fire background image H6, so that the effect mode can be changed to the daytime mode, the sky mode, the forest mode, or the fire mode (normal game state). It is possible to make it grasp what is set.

If it is determined as NO in step S4505, it is determined whether or not the game state information included in the game state designation command analyzed in step S4502 is the information of the low-probability time-saving state (S4508). If it is the information of the low probability time saving state (YES in S4508), set "5" to the mode status (S4509) and set the right-handed display command to the output buffer of the production RAM 124 (S4510). As a result, when the right-handed display command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the right-handed shot image Ra in the upper right part of the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 13(B). indicate. The display of the right-handed shot image Ra can encourage the player to hit right-handed.

Upon proceeding to step S4513 via step S4510, a background effect command based on the night mode setting is set in the output buffer of RAM 124 for effect. Thus, when the background rendering command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the night background image H2 on the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 13(B). In this way, the display of the night background image H2 allows the player to understand that the effect mode is set to the night mode (low-probability short working hours state).

Moreover, when it determines with NO by step S4508, it will be in a high certainty time saving state. In this case, the mode status is set to "6" (S4511), and the right-handed display command is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S4512). As a result, when the right-handed display command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the right-handed shot image Ra in the upper right part of the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 13(C). indicate. The display of the right-handed shot image Ra can encourage the player to hit right-handed.

Upon proceeding to step S4513 via step S4512, a background rendering command based on the setting of the space mode is set in the output buffer of RAM 124 for rendering. Thus, when the background effect command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the space background image H3 on the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 13(C). In this way, the display of the space background image H3 allows the player to understand that the production mode is set to the space mode (high-probability time-saving state).

[Low probability non-time saving state mode status processing] Low probability non-working time saving state mode status processing (S4506) is for setting the production mode according to the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result production displayed on the display screen 50a is the processing of If the display mode of the evaluation display image P is "RANK C", the mode status is set to "1". Further, when the display mode of the evaluation display image P is "RANK A or RANK B", the mode status is set to "2". Furthermore, when the display mode of the evaluation display image P is "RANK SS", the mode status is set to "3". Further, when the display mode of the evaluation display image P is "RANK SSS", the mode status is set to "4".

As shown in FIG. 43, in the low-probability non-time-saving state mode status process (S4506), first, the number of prize balls counted in the prize ball count process (step S4417 in FIG. 41) Reference is made to the number of games, the number of rare performances counted by the special performance counter, the number of suspension series counted by the suspension series counter, and the number of executions of each jackpot game counted by the jackpot counter (S4601). Then, the display mode (see FIGS. 18A to 18E) of the suggestive display images related to the result effect is determined, and the display mode of the evaluation display image P ( 18(F)) is determined (S4602).

Then, a result effect display command for displaying the suggestive display image (see FIGS. 18A to 18E) and the evaluation display image (see FIG. 18F) determined in step S4602 is set (S4603). , go to step S4604. When this result effect display command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes a result effect (see FIG. 20) on the display screen 50a as a result effect. In this way, it is possible for the player to grasp the result of the game during a predetermined game period from winning the jackpot in the normal game state to returning to the normal game state (excluding the jackpot game state).

Next, it is determined whether or not the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect is "RANK A or RANK B" (S4604). If it is "RANK A or RANK B" (YES in S4604), the mode status is set to "2" (S4605), and the process proceeds to step S4507 in FIG.

Also, if it is determined NO in step S4604, it is determined whether or not it is "RANK SS" (S4606). If it is "RANK SS" (YES at S4606), the mode status is set to "3" (S4607), and the process proceeds to step S4507 in FIG.

Also, if it is determined NO in step S4606, it is determined whether or not it is "RANK SSS" (S4608). If it is "RANK SSS" (YES in S4608), "4" is set in the mode status (S4609), and the process proceeds to step S4507 in FIG.

If it is determined NO at step S4608, that is, if it is "RANK C" (NO at S4608), the mode status is set to "1" (S4610), and the process proceeds to step S4507 in FIG.

[Opening effect selection process] As shown in Fig. 44, in the opening effect selection process (S4410), the effect control microcomputer 121 first analyzes the opening command (S4701). Next, based on the results analyzed in step S4701, the stop pattern set at the time of the winning judgment to the jackpot is a probability variable pattern (special figure 1_probability variation pattern 1, special figure 1_probability variation pattern 2, special figure 1_probability variation pattern 3, special Figure 2_probability variation design 1, special figure 2_probability variation design 2, special figure 2_probability variation design 3, or special figure 2_probability variation design 4, see Figure 8) (S4702). When it is a probability variation pattern (YES in S4702), a special battle rush effect execution lottery process of whether or not to execute a special battle rush effect is performed (S4703). In addition, in the special battle rush effect execution lottery process (S4703) of this form, lottery is performed based on the random number extracted when the opening command is received. In addition, the probability that the special battle rush effect is executed is 5%.

Subsequently, based on the result of the lottery in step S4703, it is determined whether or not to execute the special battle rush effect (S4704). If the special battle rush effect is to be executed (YES in S4704), a special battle rush effect pattern is selected (S4705), and the process proceeds to step S4707.

When the process proceeds to step S4707 through step S4705, an opening effect start command for starting the opening effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 in the special battle entry effect pattern (S4707), and the present process ends. 41 step S4411. When this opening effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes a special battle entering effect on the display screen 50a as an opening effect. Here, the special battle rush effect is a effect that indicates the start of the special battle effect (see FIG. 16 (A)). 1, special figure 1 _ definite variable pattern 2, special figure 1 _ definite variable pattern 3, special figure 2 _ definite variable pattern 1, special figure 2 _ definite variable pattern 2, special figure 2 _ definite variable pattern 3, or special figure 2 _ definite variable pattern 4, see Figure 8) It is a performance that announces something.

If it is not a variable pattern in step S4702, that is, if it is a normal pattern (NO in S4702), or if the special battle rush effect is not executed (NO in S4704), the normal battle rush effect pattern is selected ( S4706) and proceed to step S4707.

When the process proceeds to step S4707 through step S4706, an opening effect start command for starting the opening effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 in the normal battle entry effect pattern (S4707), and this process ends. 41 step S4411. When this opening effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes a normal battle entering effect on the display screen 50a as an opening effect. The normal battle rush production is a production that indicates the start of the battle production (see FIG. 14 (B)), and as described above, the winning jackpot pattern is a definite variable pattern (special figure 1 _ definite variable pattern 1, special figure 1 _ Probability pattern 2, special figure 1_probability variation pattern 3, special figure 2_probability variation pattern 1, special figure 2_probability variation pattern 2, special figure 2_probability variation pattern 3, or special figure 2_probability variation pattern 4, see Figure 8) It is a provocative performance.

[Special Round Effect Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 45, in the special round effect selection process (S4412), the effect control microcomputer 121 first analyzes the round designation command (S4801). It should be noted that in this embodiment, the round designation command includes information about the special figure stop design data (see FIG. 8) set at the time of determination of winning the jackpot. Next, it is determined whether or not a special battle rush effect has been executed based on the special battle rush effect pattern selected in the opening effect selection process (step S4705 in FIG. 44) (S4802). If the special battle entry effect is executed here (YES in S4802), the special battle victory effect pattern is selected (S4803), and the process proceeds to step S4413 in FIG. Also, if the special battle entry effect is not being executed (NO at S4802), the process proceeds to step S4413 in FIG.

[Normal Round Effect Selection Process] As shown in FIG. 46, in the normal round effect selection process (S4413), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not the special battle victory effect pattern is selected (S4901). If the special battle victory effect pattern is selected (YES in S4901), the process proceeds to step S4911. Then, in the special battle victory effect pattern, a round effect start command for starting the round effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S4911), this processing is finished, and the process proceeds to step S4414 in FIG. When this round effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes a special battle victory effect as a round effect on the display screen 50a through an awakening effect from a special battle effect. . The awakening effect is a effect indicating that the main character is awakened before the battle victory effect. In the awakening effect of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16C, a effect image KQ showing the awakened main character is displayed.

If the determination result of step S4901 is NO, it is determined whether the next winning jackpot pattern is 1 (special figure 1_probability variation pattern 1 or special figure 2_probability variation pattern 1, see FIG. 8) (S4902) ). When the winning jackpot pattern is the probability variable pattern 1 (YES in S4901), the battle victory production pattern A is selected (S4903), and the round production for starting the round production is performed in the selected battle victory production pattern A. A start command is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S4911), this process is finished, and the process proceeds to step S4414 in FIG. When the round effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes the battle effect A on the display screen 50a and then the battle victory effect as the round effect. As described above, this battle production A is a production that incites whether or not the winning jackpot pattern is the probability variable pattern 1 (special figure 1_probability variation pattern 1 or special figure 2_probability variation pattern 1, see FIG. 8) (Fig. 15 (A) ).

If the determination result of step S4902 is NO, then it is determined whether the winning jackpot pattern is 2 (special figure 1_probability variation pattern 2 or special figure 2_probability variation pattern 2, see FIG. 8) (S4904) ). If the determination result in step S4904 is YES, the battle victory effect pattern B is selected (S4905), and the round effect start command for starting the round effect is transmitted to the effect RAM 124 in the selected normal battle victory effect pattern B. 41 (S4911), terminates this process, and proceeds to step S4414 in FIG. When this round effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes a battle victory effect as a round effect on the display screen 50a via the battle effect B. As described above, this battle production B is a production that incites whether the winning jackpot pattern is the probability variable pattern 2 (special figure 1_probability variation pattern 2 or special figure 2_probability variation pattern 2, see FIG. 8) (Fig. 15 (B) ).

If the determination result of step S4904 is NO, then it is determined whether the winning jackpot pattern is 3 (special figure 1_probability variation pattern 3 or special figure 2_probability variation pattern 3, see FIG. 8) (S4906) ). If the determination result of step S4906 is YES, the battle victory effect pattern C is selected (S4907), and the round effect start command for starting the round effect in the selected battle victory effect pattern C is stored in the effect RAM 124. Set it in the output buffer (S4911), finish this process, and proceed to step S4414 in FIG. As described above, this battle production C is a production that incites whether the winning jackpot pattern is the definite variable pattern 3 (special figure 1 _ definite variable pattern 3 or special figure 2 _ definite variable pattern 3, see FIG. 8) (Fig. 15 (C) ).

If the determination result of step S4906 is NO, then it is determined whether or not the winning jackpot symbol is probability variation symbol 4 (special figure 2_variability symbol 4, see FIG. 8) (S4908). If the determination result of step S4908 is YES, the battle victory effect pattern D is selected (S4909), and the process proceeds to step S4911. Then, in the battle victory effect pattern D, a round effect start command for starting the round effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S4911), and this process is finished, and the process proceeds to step S4414 in FIG. This battle production D is a production (see FIG. 15 (D)) to incite whether or not the winning jackpot pattern is the probability variation pattern 4 (special figure 2_probability variation pattern 4, see FIG. 8) as described above.

In the battle effect when any one of the battle victory effect pattern A to the battle victory effect pattern D of this embodiment is selected, as shown in FIG. It is a production that shows that is winning against the enemy character. In the battle victory effect of this embodiment, a character image BS of "Victory" is displayed on the display screen 50a. By this battle victory effect, it is possible for the player to grasp that the probability variable symbols 1, 2, 3 and the special figure 2_the probability variable symbol 4 have been won.

If the determination result of step S4908 is NO, it means that the normal design (special figure 1_normal design, special figure 2_normal design, see FIG. 8) is won. In this case, the production pattern of the battle defeat production is selected (S4910), and the process proceeds to step S4911. Then, in the battle defeat effect pattern, a round effect start command for starting the round effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S4911), and this processing is finished. When the round effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes a battle effect on the display screen 50a and then a battle defeat effect as a round effect. In the battle defeat effect of this embodiment, a character image of "defeat" (not shown) is displayed on the display screen 50a. This battle defeat effect allows the player to understand that the normal symbols have been won.

[Ending effect selection process] As shown in Fig. 47, in the ending effect selection process (S4415), the effect control microcomputer 121 first analyzes the ending command (S5001). Next, based on the result of analyzing the ending command and the result determined in the look-ahead effect determination process (S4404) of FIG. 41, the holding continuous ending effect lottery process of whether or not to execute the pending continuous ending effect is performed (S5002). . Then, it is determined whether or not to execute a holding series ending effect based on the lottery result of the holding series ending production lottery process (S5002) (S5003). If the holding series ending effect is to be executed (YES at S5003), the holding series ending production pattern is selected (S5004), and the process proceeds to step S5006. In this case, the ending effect start command for starting the pending ending effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 in the pending continuous ending effect pattern (S5006). move on. When this ending effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes the holding consecutive ending effect shown in FIG. 17(B). With this holding series ending effect, it is possible for the player to understand that there is a special figure reservation that will win the next jackpot (holding series) based on the result of the preliminary determination during the execution of the jackpot game. .

If the determination result of step S5003 is NO, the normal ending effect pattern is selected (S5005), and the process proceeds to step S5006. Then, in the normal ending effect pattern, the ending effect start command for starting the normal ending effect is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S5006), the process ends, and the process proceeds to step S4416 in FIG. When this ending effect start command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 executes the normal ending effect shown in FIG. 17(A).

[Mode Status Change Processing] As shown in FIG. 48, in the mode status change processing (S4302), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether the mode status is "2", that is, the effect mode is the fire mode (see FIG. 21). ) (S5101). If it is the fire mode (YES in S5101), it is determined whether or not the number of times the special symbols have changed has reached 10 times in the fire mode (S5102). When the number of fluctuations reaches 10 times (YES in S5102), the mode status is set to "1" (S5107), and the background effect command based on the daytime mode setting is set in the output buffer of the RAM 124 for effect. (S5108). Thus, when the background effect command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the daytime background image H1 on the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 13(A). In this way, the display of the daytime background image H1 allows the player to understand that the presentation mode has been changed from the fire mode to the daytime mode. Also, when the number of times of variation of the special symbol has not reached 10 times in the fire mode (NO in S5102), this processing is finished as it is, and the process proceeds to step S4303 in FIG.

If the determination result in step S5101 is NO, it is determined whether the mode status is "3", that is, whether the production mode is the forest mode (see FIG. 21) (S5103). If it is forest mode (YES in S5103), it is determined whether or not the number of variations of the special symbol has reached 30 times in forest mode (S5104). When the number of fluctuations reaches 30 times (YES in S5104), the mode status is set to "1" (S5107), and the background effect command based on the daytime mode setting is set in the output buffer of the RAM 124 for effect. (S5108). Thus, when the background effect command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the daytime background image H1 on the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 13(A). Thus, the display of the daytime background image H1 allows the player to understand that the presentation mode has been changed from the forest mode to the daytime mode. Moreover, when the number of times of variation of the special symbol has not reached 30 times in the forest mode (NO in S5104), this processing is finished as it is, and the process proceeds to step S4303 in FIG.

If the determination result of step S5103 is NO, it is determined whether the mode status is "4", that is, whether the production mode is the sky mode (see FIG. 21) (S5105). If it is the sky mode (YES in S5105), it is determined whether or not the number of times of variation of the special symbol has reached 50 times in the sky mode (S5106). When the number of fluctuations reaches 50 times (YES in S5106), the mode status is set to "1" (S5107), and the background effect command based on the day mode setting is set in the output buffer of the effect RAM 124. (S5108). Thus, when the background effect command is transmitted to the image control board 140, the image CPU 141 of the image control board 140 displays the daytime background image H1 on the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 13(A). In this way, the display of the daytime background image H1 allows the player to understand that the effect mode has been changed from the sky mode to the daytime mode. Also, when the number of times of special symbol variation has not reached 50 times in the empty mode (NO in S5106), this process is finished as it is, and the process proceeds to step S4303 in FIG.

8. Effect of the present embodiment As described in detail above, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, a predetermined period of time from winning the jackpot in the normal game state to returning to the normal game state (excluding the jackpot game state) A result effect is displayed to notify the result of the game during the game period (rush period). In the result presentation, a suggestive display image (see FIGS. 18A to 18E and FIG. 20) suggesting the result of the game during the rush period is displayed on the display screen 50a, and the predetermined game is displayed. An evaluation display image P (see FIG. 18(F) and FIG. 20) for the game result in the period is displayed. At this time, the display mode of the evaluation display image P to be displayed reflects not only the game results such as the number of winning balls and the number of consecutive games during the rush period, but also the number of executions of the rare effect. In other words, the “RANK” indicated by the evaluation display image P is an evaluation based on a composite result of the number of prize balls in the rush period, the number of consecutive games, the number of times of holding series, the type of jackpot game, and the number of executions of rare effects. It's becoming Therefore, the evaluation display image P reflecting various results during the rush period can provide the player with a new enjoyment of the evaluation during the rush period, and can enhance the interest of the game in the pachinko machine. becomes.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment, it is better to execute a series of effects (rare effects) from the special entry effect shown in FIG. 16(A) to the battle victory effect shown in FIG. 16(D). , an evaluation display image P of “RANK SSS” or “RANK SS”, which is a display mode suggesting that the evaluation of the game result in the predetermined game period is higher than when the rare effect is not executed, is displayed on the display screen 50a. (See FIGS. 18(E) and 18(F)). Therefore, not only is the player focused on the display mode of the suggestive display image suggesting the game result in the predetermined game period, but also the display mode of the evaluation display image P is changed to "RANK SSS" or "RANK SSS" based on the execution of the rare effect. It is also possible to draw attention to becoming "RANK SS".

9. Modifications Modifications will be described below. In the description of the modified example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the pachinko game machine PY1 of the above configuration, and the description thereof is omitted. Of course, the configurations according to the modified examples may be combined as appropriate. Moreover, technical features in the above embodiments and modifications below can be deleted as appropriate unless they are described as essential in this specification. In the description of the modified example, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above-described configuration (first configuration), and the description thereof is omitted.

<Second form>
The pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form will be described based on FIG. In the first form, there is a special figure reservation stored during execution of the jackpot game that is determined to be a jackpot, and based on the special figure reservation, a new jackpot game is continuously played after the execution of the jackpot game. It was a pachinko machine that suggested that it would be executed in the ending effect. On the other hand, in the second form, it is determined that the special symbol holding stored at the start of the variable display of the special symbol is a big hit, and the big winning game is continuously played based on the special symbol holding. It is possible to suggest the suspension group by the suspension performance to be executed.

It is assumed that the special figure 2 is being displayed (during special figure fluctuation production) and the number of special figures 2 pending (U1) is "1". Under this situation, as shown in FIG. 49 (A), the hold that represents the first special figure 2 hold (special figure 2 hold of the order of reservation 1) in the special figure 2 hold currently being held An icon HA2 is displayed, and as shown in FIG. 49(B), a hold icon HA3 representing a special figure 2 hold (a special figure 2 hold with a hold order of 2) occurring next to the special figure 2 hold represented by the hold icon HA2 is displayed. Further, to the left of the pending icon HA2, a variable icon HA1 indicating that the variable display of the special figure 2 is being executed is displayed. Note that the display mode of the icons HA1 to HA3 displayed in FIG. 49B is the normal mode.

Also, the target indicated by the change icon is different from the target indicated by the hold icon, and strictly speaking, it is not included in the "hold effect" according to the special hold, but the display of the hold icon and the display of the change icon are related. Therefore, hereinafter, the display of the pending icon and the display of the variable icon will be collectively referred to as “suspending effect”. Also, the pending icon and the variable icon are collectively referred to as "icon".

In this way, in the pending effect, they are displayed side by side from the left end to the right in the order in which the special figure pending occurred. That is, the variable display of the reserved special symbols, in other words, the variable display of the unexecuted special symbols based on the special symbol related determination information stored in the special symbol suspension storage unit 105 is individually displayed with a suspension icon. be.

Then, as shown in FIG. 49(C), when the performance symbols EZ1 to EZ3 are stopped and displayed, the variation icon HA1 indicating that the variation display of the special figure is being executed until just before that is erased. . Subsequently, when the variable display of special symbols (special figure variation effect) is started based on the special figure 2 suspension representing the suspension icon HA2, as shown in FIG. 49(D), the suspension icon HA2 and the suspension icon HA3 shift. Specifically, the pending icon HA2 and the pending icon HA3 displayed in FIG. 49(C) are shifted one by one to the left. This means that the variable display of the special symbol corresponding to the pending icon HA2 is started, and the special symbol pending represented by the pending icon HA3 becomes the first special symbol pending among the currently pending special symbol pending, This is for adapting the pending icon HA2 and the pending icon HA3 to the situation in response to the change display of the special symbols to be started next.

In addition, the displayed pending icon HA2 represents that the variable display of the special symbols is being executed, so when displayed, it becomes the variable icon HA2. That is, as a word attached before the "icon", the icon for which the special figure fluctuation display is not being executed is "suspended", and the icon for which the special figure fluctuation display is being executed is "variation". In other words, when the pending icon is displayed, if the condition for starting the variable display of the special symbol is established for the special symbol pending indicated by the pending icon, the variable display of the special symbol related to the establishment of the starting condition is started. A corresponding pending icon is displayed as a floating icon. Also, when going from a reserved icon to a floating icon, in other words, the icon expands about twice as it shifts to the left.

By the way, as described above, the pre-determination command includes the propriety information and the special figure variation pattern information. Then, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can display the pending icon in a normal mode or a special mode based on the win/fail information and the special figure variation pattern information. Displaying the pending icon in a special mode is called "holding icon notice".

In this form, when the special figure variation pattern information included in the pre-determination command has a high winning expectation to the jackpot, the pending icon notice can be executed. Therefore, when the pending icon announcement is made, the player can have an expectation that a big win may be won by the variable display of the special pattern corresponding to the pending icon. Next, a specific example of the pending icon notice will be described.

First, as a specific example of the pending icon notice, a case where the display mode of the pending icon HA3 shown in FIG. 49D is a special mode will be described. It should be noted that, based on the result of the prior determination, it is assumed that there is no one that wins the jackpot continuously in the special figure 2 holding indicated by the holding icon HA2 and the holding icon HA3. In this case, it is conceivable to notify the degree of expectation of winning the big prize by the pending icon notice. For example, the pachinko gaming machine PY1, based on the success/failure information and the special figure variation pattern information, if the degree of expectation for winning a jackpot is a predetermined degree of expectation, as shown in FIG. At times, the suspension effect is performed by displaying the display mode of the suspension icon HA3 in a special mode (black circle).

Next, as another specific example of the pending icon notice, a case where the display mode of the pending icon HA3 shown in FIG. 49(E) becomes a special mode will be described. It should be noted that based on the result of the prior determination, if there is a special figure 2 reservation indicated by the reservation icon HA2 and the reservation icon HA3 that continuously wins the jackpot, as shown in FIG. By displaying the display form of the hold icon HA3 in a special form (a black star in a circle) at the start, the hold performance of the hold series is performed.

In addition to the pending icon notice described above, as one type of pending icon notice, a special mode is entered immediately after the pending icon is displayed. There is

According to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form described above, it is suggested that the holding series is performed by the holding effect rather than the ending effect. As a result, it is possible for the player to grasp that there is a holding group not only during the execution of the jackpot game but also at the start of the variable presentation. The display mode of the holding-run number-suggesting display image M also changes according to the number of holding runs occurring at the start of the variable effect. Therefore, it is possible to change the display mode of the evaluation display image P to ``RANK SSS'' or ``RANK SS'' more easily than in the first mode, and to make the player more interested in the execution of the holding series. It is possible.

The results of the games of each of the above types include the number of prize balls acquired during the execution of the jackpot game, the number of times the jackpot game was executed (number of consecutive games), the number of times the game was held, the type of jackpot game, and rare effects. It included the number of executions of The game results are not limited to the five types described above, and may include other types, such as the number of wins against enemy characters (the number of transitions to the high-accuracy game state), for example. Also, the game result may be less than five types, such as only two types, for example, the number of winning balls obtained during the execution of the jackpot game and the number of times the jackpot game was executed (number of consecutive games).

In each of the above embodiments, the display modes of the suggestive display image suggesting the result of the game in the predetermined game period are three types of "A", "B", and "C", but are limited to these. not something. The number of display modes of the suggestive display image may be three or more, or may be less than three.

In each of the above embodiments, the display mode of the evaluation display image P (evaluation display) displayed on the display screen 50a is the number of prize balls won during execution of the jackpot game, which is the result of the game during a predetermined game period, and the number of jackpots executed. It is determined by the production control microcomputer 121 with reference to five items, namely, the number of games (the number of consecutive games), the number of times of holding series, the type of jackpot game, and the number of rare production executions, but is limited to this. not to be For example, the display mode of the evaluation display is determined by the effect control microcomputer 121 with reference to less than five items, ie, the number of consecutive games and the number of times rare effects are executed, which are game results in a predetermined game period. Also good. Further, when the game result includes five or more items, the effect control microcomputer 121 may determine the display mode of the evaluation display by referring to the five or more items.

In each of the above embodiments, the display mode of the evaluation display image P (evaluation display) displayed on the display screen 50a is "RANK SSS" (second display mode), "RANK SS", "RANK A", "RANK B" and Although there are five types of "RANK C" (predetermined first display mode), the present invention is not limited to these. For example, the number of types of display modes may be five or more. Also, the number of types of display modes for evaluation display may be less than five.

In each of the above forms, the display mode of the evaluation display image P is higher when the special battle effects (rare effects, special effects) from the special battle entry effect to the battle victory effect are executed than when the special effects are not executed. can easily be set to "RANK SSS" or "RANK SS" (see FIGS. 18(E) and 18(F)), but it is not limited to this. Evaluation display image P even when a series of effects (special effects) from the special rush effect shown in FIG. 16A to the battle victory effect shown in FIG. may have the same possibility of being displayed as "RANK SSS" and "RANK SS".

The special effect in each form described above is not limited to a series of effects from the special entry effect shown in FIG. 16(A) to the battle victory effect shown in FIG. 16(D). For example, all-rotation reach effect, freeze effect, special color effect (rainbow color, etc.) effect, premium effect, operation suggestion effect suggesting operation of operation means (input unit 40k, etc.) consisting of special display mode in variable effect, An effect using a movable accessory, an advance notice effect in a special display mode, or an effect in which a specific effect character image is displayed may be the special effect. Also, the effect related to the holding group may be a special effect.

In each of the above forms, the number of prize balls acquired during the execution of the jackpot game in a predetermined game period, the number of times the jackpot game was executed (the number of consecutive games), the number of times the game was held, the type of the jackpot game, and the rare effect Although the display mode of the evaluation display image P displayed on the display screen 50a is determined by the effect control microcomputer 121 based on the number of executions, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the display mode of the evaluation display image P may be determined by the effect control microcomputer 121 based only on the number of times the rare effect is executed during a predetermined game period.

In each of the above forms, the number of executions of a series of effects (special effects) from the special entry effect shown in FIG. 16(A) to the battle victory effect shown in FIG. 16(D) is greater than the first predetermined number of times (0). In the case of the second number of times (1), the display mode of the evaluation display image P tends to be "RANK SSS", but it is not limited to this. For example, the first count need not be zero and the second count need not be one. Any number of times may be used as long as the second number of times is larger than the first number of times.

In each of the above forms, the sky mode, forest mode, and fire mode, which are the production modes that shift after the result production, differed in the number of special symbol fluctuations required to shift from each production mode to the daytime mode. not to be For example, the sky mode, the forest mode and the fire mode may have the same number of special symbol variations required to shift from each production mode to the daytime mode.

In each of the above modes, when the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect is "RANK SSS", "RANK SS", "RANK A" and "RANK B", the effect mode corresponding to each display mode is selected. is set, but it is not limited. For example, a special effect mode different from the daytime mode may be set only when the display mode of the evaluation display image P related to the result effect is "RANK SSS" with the highest game result evaluation.

In each of the above embodiments, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines the display mode of the suggestive display image, and determines the display mode of the evaluation display image based on the determined display mode of the suggestive display image. is not limited to For example, points are obtained according to the number of prize balls won in a jackpot game, the number of consecutive games, etc., and the display mode of each suggestive display image and the display mode of the evaluation display image are determined according to the total value of the points. You can do it. Specifically, in a predetermined game period, points are counted by the above-described prize ball counting process (step S4417 in FIG. 41), consecutive game number counter, special effect counter, reserved consecutive counter, and jackpot counter. is added. Note that the points added each time the counter counts may be different (for example, one point is added each time the number of winning balls is counted, and 100 points is added each time the number of consecutive games is counted. points will be added). When the above-mentioned predetermined game period ends, each counter counts by determining the display mode of the prize ball number suggestion display image K based on the total value of the points added each time the prize ball count process is performed. The display mode of the suggestive display image may be determined according to the total value of the points given each time. Further, the display mode of the evaluation display image P may be determined according to the total value of the points added each time the counter counts.

It may be configured as a game machine that controls to a high probability state based on. In addition, in the above-described form, once it is controlled to a high probability state, it is configured as a gaming machine (a so-called variable loop type gaming machine) that continues to control the high probability state until the start of the next jackpot game. It may be configured as a game machine that cuts the number of times. Also, it may be configured as a so-called one-kind-two-kind machine, or a honeycomb type game machine. In other words, the invention shown in this specification can be preferably applied to gaming machines with various game characteristics regardless of the game characteristics of the gaming machines.

Also, as a special game, a small winning game (a special game in which the total opening time of the big winning opening is as short as a predetermined time (for example, 1.8 seconds) or less) may be performed. A state in which a small winning game is being executed is called a small winning game state.

In addition, there may be a plurality of (for example, two) large winning openings (large winning devices). In this case, a first big winning hole, a first big winning hole sensor capable of detecting a game ball that has won the first big winning hole, a second big winning hole, and a game that has won the second big winning hole The game machine is provided with a second big winning hole sensor capable of detecting a ball.

In each of the above embodiments, four random numbers such as a jackpot random number are obtained as random numbers (determination information) obtained based on the winning of the first start port 11 or the second start port 12. A random number may be obtained and based on the random number, whether or not the game is a big win, the type of win, the presence or absence of reach, and the type of variation pattern may be determined. That is, it is possible to arbitrarily set the number of random numbers to be obtained based on the starting prize and what is determined in each random number.

Also, in the above embodiment, only one type of jackpot determination table is set, but by changing the set value, the jackpot determination table provided for each set value may be changed. By changing the big win determination table, the probability of being determined as a big win in the big win determination process is changed. In that case, the game control board 100 may be provided with a set value cylinder for enabling the change of the set value. The set value cylinder is provided with an insertion hole into which a dedicated set key is inserted. When the setting key is inserted into the insertion hole, the setting value cylinder can be rotated clockwise by 90 degrees from the reference standby state. Then, when the set value cylinder is rotated clockwise by 90 degrees from the standby state, the setting state is entered. Thereby, the setting value may be changed by operating the RAM clear switch. The RAM clear switch may be configured to be depressible. Furthermore, on the surface of the game control board 100, a set value indicator for displaying the current set value may be mounted. The setpoint indicator may also consist of a red 7-segment indicator.

In each of the above embodiments, the pachinko game machine is controlled to a jackpot game state (special game state) under the control condition that a jackpot has been won and a special symbol indicating that has been stopped and displayed. On the other hand, it may be configured as a slot machine (rotary type game machine, pachislot game machine).

Also, any type of slot machine may be used. In the case of a so-called normal machine (type A slot machine) that increases the number of medals obtained by winning a big bonus or regular bonus, the state in which the big bonus or regular bonus is executed corresponds to the special game state. In addition, if it is a so-called ART machine or AT machine that increases the medals acquired during a special game period such as ART (Assist Replay Time) or AT (Assist Time) that can frequently win small roles, the state during ART or AT corresponds to the special game state. In addition, in normal machines, the control condition for the special game state is that after winning the big bonus or regular bonus, each combination of symbols that triggers the transition to the big bonus or regular bonus is placed on the activated pay line. It is to be derived and displayed as a reel display result. Also, in the ART machine and AT machine, the control condition for the special game state is, for example, after winning the execution lottery of ART or AT, reaching the activation timing of ART or AT by digesting the prescribed number of games. be.
