Note that the game area 6 is provided with a large number of game pegs (not shown). The game nail is a game ball that enters the game area 6 and flows down the game area 6 through a first start opening 11, a second start opening 12, a general winning opening 10, a gate 13, a first big winning opening 14, In addition, a route is configured to moderately guide the player to the second prize-winning port 15 or the like.

In the game area 6, a first start winning device 11D formed with a first start opening 11 into which a game ball can enter, and a second start winning device 11D that enables or disables entry into the second start opening 12. A device (a so-called “electric chew”) 12D is provided.

The first start winning device 11D is stationary. Therefore, the first starting port 11 is constant (unchangeable) without changing the ease with which a game ball enters. The winning of the game ball to the first start port 11 is the lottery of the first special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1") (acquisition and determination of special figure 1 related random numbers described later: hereinafter, "special figure 1 lottery" ) and the variable display of special figure 1. Also, when a game ball enters the first starting hole 11, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

The electric chew 12D has an actuatable electric chew opening/closing member 12k. The electric chew opening/closing member 12k is normally (in a normal state) in a closed position where entry of a game ball into the second starting port 12 is impossible or extremely difficult. Then, when the special state is reached, the game ball moves to the open position where the game ball can be entered into the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加In this way, the movement of the electric chew opening/closing member 12k to the open position is also referred to as the “open state” of the second starting port 12 or the electric chew 12D. It is possible to enter the ball. On the other hand, the fact that the electric tube opening/closing member 12k is in the closed position is also referred to as the "closed state" of the second starting port 12 or the electric tube 12D. In addition, when the second starting port 12 or the electric tube 12D is in the "open state", it is also called "the electric tube 12D opens", and when the electric tube 12D is in the "closed state", it is called "the electric tube 12D is closed". ” is also called.

The winning of the game ball to the second start port 12 is the lottery of the second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 2") (acquisition and determination of special figure 2 related random numbers described later: hereinafter, "special figure 2 lottery" ) and the variable display of special figure 2. Also, when a game ball enters the second starting port 12, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

In addition, the game area 6 is provided with a general prize winning opening 10 into which game balls can enter. When game balls enter the general winning hole 10, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

In addition, the game area 6 is provided with a gate 13 through which game balls can pass. Passage of the game ball through the gate 13 is the trigger for the normal pattern (hereinafter referred to as "normal pattern") lottery (that is, normal pattern random number acquisition and determination: hereinafter referred to as "normal pattern lottery") and the variable display of the normal pattern. It's becoming The power chew 12D is released by executing the auxiliary game. That is, the auxiliary game is a game accompanied by the opening of the electric chew 12D.

Also, the game area 6 is provided with a first big winning device 14D (hereinafter also referred to as "normal AT 14D") having a first big winning hole 14 into which a game ball can enter.

The first big prize winning device 14D has a normal AT opening/closing member 14k that can be operated in an open state and a closed state. The normal AT opening/closing member 14k is operated to open/close the first big winning hole 14.例文帳に追加Normally, the AT opening/closing member 14k is normally in a closed state to block the first big winning hole 14, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the first big winning hole 14.例文帳に追加When the normal AT opening/closing member 14k operates in the open state, it becomes possible for the game ball to enter the first big winning hole 14.例文帳に追加In this way, it is possible for the game ball to enter the first big winning hole 14 only when the normal AT opening/closing member 14k is in the open state. When game balls enter the first big winning hole 14, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

In addition, the game area 6 is provided with a guiding stage 12g that guides the game ball to the second starting port 12. As shown in FIG. In addition, the game ball rolling on the upper surface of the guidance stage 12g can flow down toward the second starting port 12. As shown in FIG.

Further, the game area 6 is provided with a second big winning device 15D (hereinafter also referred to as "VAT 15D") having a second big winning opening 15 into which a game ball can enter. The second big winning device 15D has an operable VAT opening/closing member 15k. The VAT opening/closing member 15k normally closes the second big winning hole 15, and it is impossible or extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the second big winning hole 15.例文帳に追加The VAT opening/closing member 15k can be in an open state. When the VAT opening/closing member 15k is in an open state, it becomes easy for the game ball to enter the second big winning hole 15.例文帳に追加On the other hand, the state in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k closes the second big winning opening 15 is also called "closed state". In this manner, the second big winning opening 15 is opened and closed by the operation of the VAT opening/closing member 15k. When game balls enter the second big winning hole 15, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Here, with reference to FIG. 3, the second big winning device 15D will be described in detail. Inside the second big winning device 15D, a gate-shaped second big winning hole sensor 15a capable of detecting a game ball entering the second big winning hole 15 and allowing the game ball to pass downward is provided. It is

A specific area 16 through which a game ball can pass (enter) and a non-specific area 17 are provided in the downstream area of the second big winning hole sensor 15a. A game ball that has passed through the second big winning hole sensor 15a is sorted into a specific area 16 or a non-specific area 17 by a sorting device 16D. The distribution device 16D includes a distribution member 16k made of a substantially rectangular flat plate, and a distribution solenoid 16s that drives the distribution member 16k. The distribution member 16k is configured to be slidable left and right by driving a distribution solenoid 16s.

When the distribution solenoid 16s is not energized, the distribution member 16k is in the first state (passage prevention state: the left end of the distribution member 16k in the front view of FIG. 3A) that prevents passage of the game ball to the specific area 16 is positioned slightly to the right of the left end of the specific region 16, and the distribution member 16k covers the specific region 16 directly above it). When the sorting member 16k is in the first state, it is impossible or extremely impossible for the game ball that has won the second big winning hole 15 to pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second big winning hole sensor 15a. It is difficult and passes through the non-specific area 17 . The route of the game ball flowing down from the second big winning hole 15 to the non-specific area 17 is called a first route.

On the other hand, when the distribution solenoid 16s is energized, the distribution member 16k is in a second state (passage permission state: swinging in the front view of FIG. The left end of the dividing member 16k is positioned slightly to the left of the right end of the specific region 16, the distribution member 16k does not cover the specific region 16 directly above it, and the specific region 16 is open directly above it). When the distribution member 16k is in the second state, the game ball that has won the second big winning hole 15 can easily pass through the specific area 16 after passing through the second big winning hole sensor 15a. The route of the game ball flowing down from the second big winning port 15 to the specific area 16 is called a second route.

Basically, the distribution member 16k is held in the first state. That is, it can be said that the first state is the normal state of the distribution member 16k. Only in a predetermined round game (for example, 16R), the distribution solenoid 16s is energized and can be changed to the second state.

The specific area 16 and the non-specific area 17 are provided with a specific area sensor 16a and a non-specific area sensor 17a that detect game balls passing through (entering) the respective areas 16 and 17 and pass the game balls downward. .

Only one of the first big winning device 14D and the second big winning device 15D can be provided as long as the game is not hindered.

Also, at substantially the bottom of the game area 6, there are provided two out holes 19 for discharging the game balls that have been hit into the game area 6 but have not won in any of the winning holes to the outside of the game area 6. there is Also, the game board 1 is provided with a board lamp 54 capable of emitting light.

By the way, the game area 6 in which game balls can flow can be divided into a left game area (first game area) on the left side of the center in the horizontal direction and a right game area (second game area) on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k that shoots the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area is called "left hitting". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k that shoots the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area is called "right hitting". In the pachinko game machine PY1, a flow path through which a game ball can flow down when a game ball is shot left-handed is called a first flow path R1, and a game ball flows down when a game ball is shot right-handed. A possible flow path is referred to as the second flow path R2. The first flow path R1 and the second flow path R2 are also composed of a large number of game nails and the like.

A first starting port 11 and two general winning ports 10 are provided on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the player can aim to win the first starting hole 11 or the general winning hole 10 by shooting the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by hitting to the left. On the other hand, a second starting port 12, a gate 13, a first big winning port 14, and a second big winning port 15 are provided on the second flow path R2. Therefore, the player shoots the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by hitting to the right, thereby passing the gate 13, the second starting port 12, the first big winning port 14, or the second It is possible to aim to win a prize to the big prize opening 15.例文帳に追加

In addition, game balls that did not enter any of the winning openings (first starting opening 11, second starting opening 12, general winning opening 10, first big winning opening 14, and second big winning opening 15) It is guided to the out port 19 and discharged. Also, the number of winning balls to be awarded to each winning hole can be appropriately set.

In addition, a display device 8 is arranged below and to the left of the game area 6 formed on the front surface of the game board 1 (part other than the game area 6). As shown in FIG. 4, the display devices 8 include a special figure 1 indicator 81a that variably displays the special figure 1, a special figure 2 indicator 81b that variably displays the special figure 2, and a general figure that is variably displayed. A normal map display 82 is included. In addition, the display device 8 has a special figure 1 reservation indicator 83a that displays the number of special figures 1 pending (U1: the number of variable display of the special figure 1 by the special figure 1 indicator 81a is suspended), which will be described later. And the special figure 2 reservation indicator 83b which displays the special figure 2 reservation number (U2: the number that the variable display of the special figure 2 by the special figure 2 indicator 81b is withheld) which will be described later is included.

The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery is performed with the winning of the game ball to the first start port 11 as a trigger. In addition, the variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery is performed with the winning of the game ball to the second start port 12 as a trigger. In the following description, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are collectively called the special figure, and the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery are collectively called the special figure lottery. In addition, the special figure 1 indicator 81a and the special figure 2 indicator 81b are collectively referred to as the special figure indicator 81. Furthermore, the special figure 1 reservation indicator 83a and the special figure 2 reservation indicator 83b are collectively referred to as the special figure reservation indicator 83.

The variable display of the special figure notifies the result of the special figure lottery. In the variable display of the special figure, it is stopped and displayed after the special figure is variably displayed. The special figure to be stopped and displayed (stop special figure, special symbol derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one special figure selected from a plurality of kinds of special figures by a special figure lottery. When the stop special figure is a predetermined special figure (a special figure of a specific stop mode, i.e., a jackpot pattern), the large winning openings (the first large winning opening 14 and the second large winning opening 15) are opened. A jackpot game (an example of a special game) is performed.

The special figure indicator 81 is composed of, for example, eight LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged side by side, and displays a special figure according to the result of the special figure lottery by its lighting mode. For example, when the result of the special drawing lottery is a jackpot (one of a plurality of types of jackpots described later), the special drawing indicator 81 displays "□□■■□□■■" (□: lighting, ■ : off), the jackpot pattern consisting of the lighting of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th LEDs from the left is displayed. In addition, when the result of the special figure lottery is a loss, the special figure indicator 81 displays a losing pattern composed of lighting only the rightmost LED, such as "■■■■■■■□". do. In addition, the lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited, and can be set as appropriate. Therefore, for example, all the LEDs may be extinguished as a lost pattern.

Moreover, in the variable display of the special figure, the variable display of the special figure is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time before the special figure is stopped and displayed. The aspect of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, the aspect in which each LED is lit so that the light flows repeatedly from left to right. In addition, the aspect of the variable display of the special figure is not particularly limited, and if each LED is not displayed (lighting display in a specific aspect), all LEDs may be set as appropriate, such as blinking all at once.

By the way, in the pachinko game machine PY1, when a game ball enters the first start hole 11 or the second start hole 12, various random numbers (numerical information and judgment information) for performing special lottery etc. example) may be acquired. These various random numbers are temporarily stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 described later as special figure reservation. In the following, various random numbers obtained by winning (entering the game ball) to the first start port 11 are referred to as "special figure 1 related random numbers", and winning the game ball to the second start port 12 Various random numbers obtained by (entry) are referred to as "special figure 2 related random numbers". Here, the special figure 1 relation random number is stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 as the special figure 1 reservation. On the other hand, the special figure 2 relation random number is stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 as the special figure 2 reservation. To the number of special figures 1 reservation that can be stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a (number of special figures 1 reservation) and the number of special figures 2 reservations that can be stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b (number of special figures 2 reservations) can set an upper limit (for example, 4). In the following, the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation are collectively referred to as "special figure reservation", and the special figure 1 reservation number and the special figure 2 reservation number are collectively referred to as "special figure reservation number". In addition, the special figure 1 relation random number and the special figure 2 relation random number are collectively referred to as "special figure relation random number".

In the pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display of the special symbol is not performed immediately after the game ball enters the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, specifically, the variable display of the special symbol is being executed. If there is a prize during the execution of the jackpot game, the variable display of the special figure (or the right of the special figure lottery) for the winning can be reserved. The special figure reservation stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 is terminated when the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure reservation becomes possible. That is, the digestion of the special figure reservation means that the special figure relation random number etc. corresponding to the special figure reservation is determined, and the variable display of the special figure for showing the determination result is executed.

And the special figure reservation number is displayed on the special figure reservation indicator 83 . Each of the special figure 1 reservation indicator 83a and the special figure 2 reservation indicator 83b is composed of, for example, four LEDs, and displays the special figure reservation number by lighting the LED for the special figure reservation number. Is possible.

In addition, the variable display of the general map notifies the result of the general map lottery. In the variable display of the normal map, after the normal map is displayed variably, the display is stopped. The normal map to be stopped and displayed (stop normal map, normal map derived and displayed as a display result of variable display) is one normal map selected from a plurality of types of normal map lottery.

3. Principal Games Performed by Gaming Machine Next, the principal games performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 15. FIG.

3-1. Games Related to Universal Figures First, games related to universal charts will be described. The pachinko game machine PY1 conducts a normal drawing lottery when the shot game ball passes through the gate 13. - 特許庁When the general pattern lottery is performed, the general pattern display device 82 performs variable display of the general pattern (stop display after performing variable display). Here, the normal symbols to be stopped and displayed include winning symbols and losing symbols. In addition, the losing pattern of the normal map is also called "losing universal map" in order to distinguish it from the losing pattern of the special pattern, which will be described later. When the winning symbols are stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is executed, and the game related to the passage of the gate 13 ends. On the other hand, when the losing normal figure is stopped and displayed, the auxiliary game is not performed, and the game related to passing through the gate 13 ends. Also, in the following, when the variable display of the normal pattern or the auxiliary game is not performed, the game ball passing through the gate 13 is referred to as "establishment of the normal pattern fluctuation start condition".

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a general pattern-related random number when a general pattern variation start condition is satisfied in performing such a series of games (normal pattern lottery, variable display of general pattern, auxiliary game). As shown in FIG. 8(A), normal pattern random numbers are included in general pattern related random numbers to be acquired. The normal symbol random number is a random number (determination information) for performing a hit determination. Each random number is appropriately bounded.

3-1-1. Hit Judgment Hit judgment is a judgment for determining whether or not there is a hit (whether or not an auxiliary game is executed) using one or a plurality of hit determination tables as shown in FIG. 9(A). The hit determination table can be associated with a game state, which will be described later. That is, the game state includes a non-time-saving state and a time-saving state, and the hit determination table used in the non-time-saving state (non-time-saving hit determination table) and the time-saving state hit determination table (for time-saving It is possible to distinguish between the hit determination table) and the In each hit determination table, the determination value of the normal symbol random number (normal symbol random number) is distributed to the hit and the loss, which are the results of the hit determination. Therefore, the pachinko game machine PY1 collates the acquired normal symbol random numbers with the hit determination table, and performs hit determination as to whether it is a hit or a miss. Then, based on the result of the hit determination, the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination for performing the variable display of the normal pattern is performed. If the result of the hit determination is hit, basically, the hit pattern is displayed in a variable display of the normal pattern and stopped. On the other hand, if the result of the hit determination is a loss, basically, the lost normal figure is stopped and displayed in variable display of the normal figure. Also, the probability of winning a prize can be changed as appropriate.

3-1-2. Normal figure fluctuation Normal figure fluctuation pattern determination is a determination for determining a normal figure fluctuation pattern using one or more normal figure fluctuation pattern determination tables as shown in FIG. 9(B). The normal pattern fluctuation pattern is identification information related to predetermined matters related to the variable display of the normal pattern, such as the normal pattern fluctuation time.

Normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table, the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table (non-shorter normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table) used in the non-time saving state, and the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table used in the short time state ( It is possible to distinguish between time-saving normal figure fluctuation pattern determination table).

In each normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination table, one normal pattern fluctuation pattern, which is the result of the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination, is stored for each normal pattern to be stopped. That is, the pachinko game machine PY1 can vary the normal figure fluctuation time between the non-time saving state and the time saving state. For example, in a non-time-saving state, for the variable display of the normal figure when stopping the normal figure of loss (losing general figure), the normal figure fluctuation time is determined to be a normal figure fluctuation pattern, for example, 30 seconds, and the winning pattern For the variable display of the normal pattern in the case of stop display, the normal pattern fluctuation time is determined to be, for example, 30 seconds. In addition, in the time saving state, the variable display of the normal pattern when the losing normal pattern is stopped and displayed is determined to be a normal pattern fluctuation pattern in which the normal pattern fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds, and the normal pattern when the winning pattern is stopped and displayed For the variable display of the figure, a normal figure fluctuation pattern is determined in which the normal figure fluctuation time is, for example, 5 seconds. The variable display of the normal pattern fluctuation time associated with the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determined by this determination is performed by the normal pattern display device 82 . In addition, it is possible to appropriately change these normal pattern fluctuation times. In this way, by performing the hit determination and the normal pattern fluctuation pattern determination, the normal pattern display device 82 performs variable display of the normal pattern.

3-1-3. Auxiliary game Auxiliary game is a variable display of the general pattern, and as a display result (the result of the general pattern lottery), it is executed when the winning design is stopped and displayed (derived).

Auxiliary games include elements (auxiliary game components) that constitute the auxiliary game, that is, various elements such as the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened and the opening time for each opening. Each of these elements is associated with a game state. The pachinko game machine PY1 controls the auxiliary game using one or more auxiliary game control tables as shown in FIG. 9(C) based on the game state. The auxiliary game control table is associated with the game state. Each auxiliary game control table stores auxiliary game components. Also, the number of times of opening and the opening time in each of these elements can be changed as appropriate.

The pachinko game machine PY1 can vary the opening time of the electric chew 12D between the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state and the auxiliary game in the time saving state. For example, in the auxiliary game in the non-time-saving state, the electric chew 12D is opened only for the first opening time (time (for example, 0.08 seconds) in which it is difficult for the game ball to win the electric chew 12D). In the following, the auxiliary game in the non-time saving state is also referred to as "short opening auxiliary game". In addition, in the auxiliary game in the time saving state, the electric chew 12D is held for a second opening time longer than the first opening time (a time (for example, 3.00 seconds) that makes it easy for the game ball to win the electric chew 12D). Open. In addition, below, the auxiliary game in the time saving state is also referred to as "long opening auxiliary game".

3-2. Games Related to Special Figures Next, games related to special figures will be described.

Here, the stop-displayed special figure 1 includes a jackpot symbol and a losing symbol. That is, the results of the special figure 1 lottery include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbols are stop-displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the winning is finished. On the other hand, when the losing symbol is stopped and displayed, the big win game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is finished.

Similarly, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs a special figure 2 lottery when the launched game ball wins the second start hole 12.例文帳に追加When the special figure 2 lottery is performed, the special figure 2 variable display (stop display after performing the variable display) is performed in the special figure 2 display device 81b to notify the result of the special figure 2 lottery. Here, the stop-displayed special figure 2 includes a big hit pattern and a losing pattern. That is, the results of the special figure 2 lottery include a big hit and a loss. When the jackpot symbols are stop-displayed, the jackpot game is executed, a new game state is set, and the game based on the winning is finished. On the other hand, when the losing symbol is stopped and displayed, the big winning game is not performed, and the game based on the winning is finished.

In the following, the winning of the game ball in the first starting hole 11 is called "establishment of the first starting condition", and the winning of the game ball in the second starting hole 12 is called "establishment of the second starting condition". It says. Also, "satisfaction of the first starting condition" and "satisfaction of the second starting condition" are collectively referred to as "satisfaction of the starting condition". In addition, the special design losing pattern is also called "loss special pattern" in order to distinguish it from the above-mentioned normal pattern losing pattern.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 acquires a special figure-related random number when the starting condition is established in performing such a series of games (special figure lottery, variable display of special figures, jackpot game, game state setting), Various decisions are made on random numbers. As shown in FIG. 8B, the special symbol-related random numbers to be acquired include special symbol random numbers (jackpot random numbers), jackpot symbol type random numbers, reach random numbers, and special symbol variation pattern random numbers. The special symbol random number is a random number for judging the jackpot. The jackpot symbol type random number is a random number for judging the jackpot symbol type. A reach random number is a random number for performing reach determination. The special symbol variation pattern random number is a random number for determining the variation pattern of the special symbol. Each random number is appropriately bounded. Note that the random number is also called determination information.

3-2-1. Jackpot Judgment Jackpot judgment is a judgment for determining whether or not a jackpot (whether or not to execute a jackpot game) using one or a plurality of jackpot determination tables as shown in FIG. 10(A). The game state includes a normal probability state and a high probability state, and the jackpot determination table is associated with whether it is the normal probability state or the high probability state. That is, as the jackpot determination table, a jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (normal probability jackpot determination table) and a jackpot determination table used in the high probability state (high probability jackpot determination table) can be distinguished. It is possible.

In each big hit determination table, the judgment value of the special symbol random number (special symbol random number value) is distributed to the big hit and loss, which are the results of the big hit determination. The pachinko game machine PY1 collates the acquired special symbol random numbers with a big win determination table to determine whether it is a big win or a loss. As shown in FIG. 10(A), the high-probability jackpot determination table has more special symbol random number determination values that are determined to be a jackpot than the normal-probability jackpot determination table. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the probability of winning the jackpot.

3-2-2. Jackpot pattern type determination The jackpot pattern type determination is, when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot, uses one or more jackpot pattern type determination tables as shown in FIG. ) is a judgment for determining For each type of jackpot symbol, it is possible to associate the content of the jackpot, in other words, the constituent elements of the jackpot constituted by the game privilege given to the player.

The jackpot symbol type determination table is associated with the type of the special symbol that is variably displayed, in other words, the type of the starting port where the winning caused by the jackpot symbol type determination (that generated the jackpot symbol type determination) was performed. is possible. That is, as the jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type determination table (first jackpot symbol type determination table) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1, and the jackpot used when performing the variable display of the special figure 2 It is possible to distinguish from the symbol type determination table (second jackpot symbol type determination table).

There are multiple types of jackpot patterns, and in each jackpot pattern type determination table, the judgment value of the jackpot pattern type random number (jackpot pattern type random number) is distributed to the jackpot pattern type that is the result of the jackpot pattern type determination. there is Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired jackpot design type random number with the jackpot design type determination table to determine the type of the jackpot design. In the first jackpot symbol type determination table and the second jackpot symbol type determination table, the jackpot symbol type random numbers are appropriately distributed to various jackpot symbols. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the distribution rate of the jackpot symbol type. Also, the types of jackpot symbols can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10(B), the allocation rate of the jackpot pattern type by the jackpot pattern type determination for the special pattern 1 is set to 50% for the jackpot pattern X and 50% for the jackpot pattern Y, and for the special pattern 2 It is possible for the jackpot pattern Z to make the distribution rate of the jackpot pattern type determined by the jackpot pattern type determination 100%. In this way, in the special figure 1 lottery performed by winning the game ball in the first start port 11 and the special figure 2 lottery performed by winning the game ball in the second start port 12, the swing of the jackpot symbol type Different fractions are possible.

3-2-3. Reach determination Reach determination, when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, uses one or more reach determination tables as shown in FIG. This is a judgment for determining whether

The reach determination table can be associated with the gaming state. That is, as the reach determination table, the reach determination table (non-time-saving reach determination table) used in the non-time-saving state and the reach determination table (time-saving reach determination table) used in the time-saving state are distinguished. Is possible.

In each reach determination table, reach random number determination values (reach random numbers) are sorted into reach determination results "with reach (generate reach)" and "no reach (not generate reach)". . Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 collates the acquired reach random number with the reach determination table to determine whether there is reach or not (whether or not to generate reach). As shown in FIG. 10(C), it is possible to change the number of reach random numbers determined to be “with reach (generate reach)” between the non-time-saving reach determination table and the time-saving reach determination table. is. In the following, "with reach (generate reach)", which is performed on the premise that the result of the jackpot judgment is "losing", is called "losing with reach", and "no reach (does not generate reach)". )” is sometimes called “no reach”.

3-2-4. Toku-zu variation Toku-zu variation pattern determination uses one or more special symbol variation pattern determination table (special figure variation pattern determination table) as shown in FIGS. It is a determination for determining (special figure variation pattern), and is performed in any case of a big hit or a loss as a result of the big hit determination. The special figure fluctuation pattern is identification information for identifying predetermined matters related to the special figure fluctuation time and the production flow (production content) of the special figure fluctuation production described later. It should be noted that the special figure fluctuation pattern, in addition to the special figure fluctuation time and production flow (production content) of special figure fluctuation production, it is possible to include identification information regarding the result of jackpot determination and the result of reach determination. As a special figure variation pattern, it is possible to use a plurality of types of special figure variation patterns with different identification information, respectively, and the number can be changed as appropriate.

The special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the type of special symbol that performs variable display to be determined, in other words, the type of starting opening where the winning caused by the special figure variation pattern determination is performed. That is, as the special figure variation pattern determination table, the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 1 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 11) used when performing the variable display of the special figure 1, and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed It is possible to distinguish the special figure variation pattern determination table (special figure 2 variation pattern determination table: FIG. 12) used when.

Each special figure variation pattern determination table can also be associated with the gaming state. That is, as a special figure 1 variation pattern determination table, a special figure 1 variation pattern determination table (non-time saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table) used in the non-time saving state, and a special figure 1 used in the time saving state It is possible to distinguish from the variation pattern determination table (time saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table). On the other hand, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table is also used when the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table (special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for non-time saving) used in the non-time saving state and the time saving state It is possible to distinguish from the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table (time saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table).

In addition, each special figure variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with the jackpot determination result, the jackpot symbol type determination result, or the reach determination result. That is, the non-time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the non-time-saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table each have a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), a reach loss, and a reach loss loss. Similarly, the time-saving special figure 1 variation pattern determination table and the time-saving special figure 2 variation pattern determination table each have a jackpot (for each jackpot symbol type), reach with loss, and reach without loss.

Furthermore, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for each reach no loss can be associated with the number of special figures pending. For example, the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss used when the special figure 1 reservation number (U1) is 0 to 2, and the special figure 1 reservation number (U1) is used when it is 3 to 4 It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 1 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss. In addition, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for each reach no loss can be associated with the number of special figures pending. For example, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss used when the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is 0 to 2, and the special figure 2 reservation number (U2) is used when it is 3 to 4 It is possible to distinguish between the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table for reach no loss.

Then, variable display of the special figure of the special figure variation time according to the special figure variation pattern determined by each special figure variation pattern determination is performed by the special figure display device 81. Then, in the special figure variable display, when the jackpot pattern is stopped and displayed as a display result (special figure lottery result), the next special figure variable display is not performed immediately, and the jackpot game is executed subsequently. be.

In addition, each special figure fluctuation pattern can be associated with the effect flow of the special figure fluctuation production as shown in the second column from the right of the table of FIGS. 11 and 12.

In addition, as shown in the rightmost column of the table of FIGS. 11 to 12, the special figure fluctuation pattern can be named in association with the special figure (jackpot determination result) and the production contents of the special figure fluctuation production. be. For example, the special figure variation pattern related to the jackpot is called "jackpot variation". On the other hand, in the loss with reach, SP reach, which is a type of reach, is performed. The figure fluctuation pattern is "L loss fluctuation", and in the loss with reach, the special fluctuation pattern where the special figure fluctuation effect ends with N reach, which is a type of reach, is "N loss fluctuation", and the loss without reach Such a special figure variation pattern is referred to as "normal loss variation".

3-2-5. Prefetching determination Pachinko game machine PY1 performs prefetching determination using one or a plurality of prefetching determination tables as shown in FIG. 13 based on the acquired special figure-related random numbers. For the look-ahead determination, for example, determination of whether or not the special symbol random number is determined to be a big hit in the big hit determination, determination of which jackpot symbol type the jackpot symbol type random number is determined in the jackpot symbol type determination, special There is a determination of which special figure variation pattern the figure variation pattern random number is determined in the special figure variation pattern determination. The look-ahead determination table can be associated with the type of starting opening related to the starting prize. That is, as the lookahead determination table, a lookahead determination table (first lookahead determination table) when winning the first start opening 11 and a lookahead determination table (second lookahead determination table) when winning the second start opening 12 are used. , can be distinguished.

Also, the look-ahead determination table can be associated with the game state. That is, as the prefetching determination table, the prefetching determination table used in the non-time-saving state (non-time-saving prefetching determination table) and the prefetching determination table used in the time-saving state (time-saving prefetching determination table) are distinguished. Is possible.

That is, the look-ahead determination table includes the first look-ahead determination table used in the non-time-saving state, the first look-ahead determination table used in the time-saving state, and the second look-ahead determination table used in the non-time-saving state. It is possible to distinguish between this and the second look-ahead determination table used in the time saving state. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change what kind of determination is included in the prefetch determination.

3-3. Jackpot Game Next, the jackpot game will be described. The jackpot game includes multiple round games with opening and closing of the jackpot (first jackpot 14 or second jackpot 15), and the time between the start of the jackpot game and the start of the first round game. It includes an opening (also referred to as OP) and an ending (also referred to as ED) from the end of the final round game to the end of the jackpot game. Each round begins with the end of the opening or the end of the previous round and ends with the beginning of the next round or the beginning of the ending. Moreover, it is possible not to provide OP and ED. In addition, below, the round game of the predetermined number of times (predetermined order) is simply referred to as "round". For example, the first round game is called "1 round (1R)", and the tenth round game is called "10 rounds (10R)".

Elements that make up such a jackpot game (jackpot game components) include the number of round games, the number of openings of the big winning port (first big winning port 14 or second big winning port 15) in each round game, Includes the type and opening time of each opening (opening pattern), the time to close until the next opening (closing time), the opening time (opening time), and the ending time (ending time). ing. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 controls the jackpot game using one or a plurality of jackpot game control tables as shown in FIG. 14 after the stop display of the special figure. The jackpot game control table stores jackpot game components for each jackpot game. As jackpot games, it is possible to control one type or a plurality of types of jackpot games.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14, from 1R to 15R, the round game in which the first large winning opening 14 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or the first large winning opening 14 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. A round game to open is performed. Then, in 16R (final round), there is a round game in which the second large prize winning port 15 opens for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, or a round game in which the second large prize winning port 15 opens for a maximum of 0.1 seconds. done. Further, in each round game, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are detected by the big winning opening sensor, even before the maximum opening time of the big winning openings 14 and 15 elapses, End the round game.

Also, the number of times and time for each element can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, it is possible to perform the jackpot game using both the first big winning port 14 and the second big winning port 15 or using only one of them.

Here, the specific area 16 will be described in detail. Since the specific area 16 takes a closed state in which a prize cannot be won and an open state in which a prize can be won by the distribution member 16k, the operating mode of the distribution member 16k can be said to be the opening/closing mode of the specific area 16. FIG. Hereinafter, the operating mode of the distribution member 16k is also referred to as "opening/closing mode of the specific region 16". In this way, the distribution member 16k is controlled in a constant operation mode (a constant opening and closing mode of the specific region 16), but a constant operation mode of the distribution member 16k (a constant opening and closing mode of the specific region 16), The difficulty (easiness) of entering the game ball into the specific area 16 in the big win game is set in combination with the opening/closing mode of the second big winning hole 15 in the big win game. Note that hereinafter, the open state of the specific region 16 is also referred to as “V open”.

The distribution solenoid 16s is energized for 15 seconds after the opening of the second big prize opening is started, and the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state (FIG. 3(B)). Therefore, in the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15 and the time and timing during which the distribution member 16k is controlled to the second state Due to the timing, it is easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). On the other hand, in the round game in which the second large winning opening 15 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds, the opening time and timing of the second large winning opening 15, the time and Due to the timing, it is almost impossible (difficult) for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (to make the game ball enter the specific area 16). Thus, in the jackpot game, during the jackpot game, the VAT opening and closing member with the first opening pattern (V long opening pattern) that makes it easy for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16 (hereinafter also referred to as "V passage") The VAT opening/closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k are operated in the jackpot game in which the 15k and the distribution member 16k operate, and in the second opening pattern (V short opening pattern) in which it is impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through the specific area 16. It is possible to execute a jackpot game. Thus, the big hit game in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V long open pattern is called "V long big hit". On the other hand, a big hit game in which the VAT opening/closing member 15k and the distribution member 16k operate in the V short open pattern is called "V short big hit".

3-4. Game State Next, the game state will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the pachinko machine PY1 has a "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state", "high probability high base game state" and " It is possible to make it into any game state of "jackpot game state". In addition, "low probability low base game state" is "low probability low base state", "low probability high base game state" is "low probability high base state", and "high probability low base game state" is "high probability". "Low base state" and "high probability high base gaming state" can be abbreviated as "high probability high base state", respectively. As states constituting the game state, there are a state related to the probability of being determined as a "big win" in the big win determination and a state related to the ease of opening the electric chew 12D. The former includes a normal probability state and a high probability state. On the other hand, the latter includes a non-time-saving state and a time-saving state.

The normal probability state is set in the "low-probability low-base game state" or "low-probability high-base game state", and is a state in which the probability of being determined to be a big hit in the jackpot determination is a normal probability. The high-probability state is set in the "high-probability low-base game state" or "high-probability high-base game state", and is a state in which the probability of being judged as a big hit in the jackpot judgment is higher than the normal probability. Therefore, it can be said that the high-probability state is more advantageous to the player than the normal-probability state. When the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, the normal probability state is set. Then, by winning a jackpot, it becomes possible to switch from the normal probability state to the high probability state. For example, it is possible to switch to a high probability state by passing a game ball through the specific area 16 in a jackpot game. It is also possible to switch to a high probability state depending on the type of the jackpot symbol. The high-probability state can be switched from the high-probability state to the normal-probability state by performing a predetermined number of jackpot determinations without winning the jackpot, or by winning the next jackpot.

The non-time saving state is set in the "low probability low base game state", "high probability low base game state" or "jackpot game state". The time-saving state is set in the "low-probability high-base game state" or "high-probability high-base game state", and compared to the non-time-saving state, the game state in which the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game tends to be longer. is. For example, in the time-saving state, the opening time (eg, 3.00 seconds) is longer than the opening time (eg, 0.08 seconds) of the electric chew 12D in the non-time-saving state. Also, in the time saving state, using the special figure variation pattern determination table that is determined so that the special figure variation pattern with a short special figure variation time is selected more than the non-time saving state, the special figure variation pattern determination is (See FIGS. 11 and 12). 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.

Moreover, compared with a non-work-saving state, a time-saving state can make normal figure fluctuation|variation time short easily. For example, in the time saving state, the normal figure fluctuation time (5 seconds) shorter than the normal figure fluctuation time (30 seconds) determined in the non-working time saving state is determined. Therefore, the number of executions of the normal drawing lottery per unit time is greater in the time saving state.

Moreover, the time saving state can be made easier to be determined to be a hit in the hit determination as compared with the non-time saving state. For example, in the time-saving state, it is determined to be a hit with a higher probability (eg, 59936/65536) than the probability (eg, 6600/65536) that is determined to be a hit in the non-time-saving state. Therefore, the time-saving state has a larger number of hit determinations per unit time.

Thus, in the time-saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D per unit time is longer than in the non-time-saving state, and the game balls are likely to 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. Therefore, in a time-saving state with a high base, it is possible to aim for a jackpot election without greatly reducing the number of game balls possessed. Therefore, it can be said that the time-saving state is more advantageous to the player than the non-time-saving state.

When the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time, a non-time-saving state is set. Then, for example, by winning a jackpot, a time saving state can be set. The time-saving state can be changed from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state by performing a predetermined number of big win determinations without winning the big win or by winning the next big win.

In addition, in the time-saving state, it is easier to win a win than in the non-time-saving state, the normal pattern fluctuation time is easy to be short, and the opening time of the electric chew 12D in one auxiliary game is easy to be long. There are three points about the game related to the normal figure, which are set to be advantageous to the player. However, the points that are set in favor of this player may be some of them.

In addition, the game state after the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on for the first time is a "low-probability low-base game state" in which a normal probability state and a non-time-saving state are set. This game state is also called "normal game state". In addition, in the "jackpot game state", the hit determination is performed but the jackpot determination is not performed, so a non-time-saving state is set with the start of the jackpot game. As for the game state, it is possible to use all or part of the game states described above.

4. Main Effects by Game Machine Next, main effects performed by the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 22. FIG.

4-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described. The production mode is a division of production (or a higher-level attribute). The pachinko game machine PY1 can set, as production modes, a customer waiting production mode, a normal production mode, a variable probability production mode, a short working hours production mode and a jackpot production mode.

In the customer waiting production mode, a special variable production is performed in the "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state" and "high probability high base game state". It is a production mode that can be set when there is no special figure fluctuation production and indicates that it is in a standby state. A customer waiting performance is performed when the customer waiting performance mode is set. In the customer waiting effect, for example, as shown in FIG. 16A-1, a customer waiting demonstration video G100 introducing the pachinko game machine PY1 is displayed on the display section 50a. Further, when the normal button 40 is operated while the customer waiting demonstration video G100 is being displayed, a setting screen G101 for setting the effects of the pachinko game machine PY1 is displayed as shown in FIG. 16(A-2). is displayed. Settings related to effects include volume setting of sound output from the speaker 52, brightness setting of the display unit 50a (“light amount setting”), frequency setting of effects to be executed (“effect setting”), and the like.

Normal production mode can be set when special figure fluctuation production is performed in "low probability low base game state" or "high probability low base game state", and it is a production mode indicating that it is a non-time saving state be. In the normal effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-1, a first normal effect mode in which a background image (daytime normal background image G102) representing a daytime mountain view is displayed on the display unit 50a. Then, as shown in FIG. 16(B-2), a second normal effect mode in which a background image (ordinary evening background image G103) representing the scenery of the mountains in the evening is displayed on the display unit 50a; As shown in -3), there is a third normal effect mode in which a background image (normal nighttime background image G104) representing a mountain view at night is displayed on the display unit 50a. It can be switched as one condition that the special figure fluctuation effect is performed once or more times. Further, each of the first to third normal performance modes includes a normal front-stage performance mode before reach is established and a normal rear-stage performance mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation performance. In the normal front stage effect mode, any one of the daytime normal background image G102, the evening normal background image G103, and the nighttime normal background image G104 is displayed on the display unit 50a. A custom background image will be displayed. Also, a special performance mode that is set only in the "high probability low base game state" may be provided.

The probability variable production mode is a production mode that can be set when the special figure fluctuation production is performed in the "high probability high base game state", and is a production mode indicating that it is a high probability state and a time saving state. In the probability variation effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-4, a background image representing the universe (probability variation background image G105) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, the probability variation performance mode includes a probability variation front stage performance mode before the reach is established and a probability variation rear stage performance mode after the reach is established in the special figure fluctuation performance. In the variable probability front stage effect mode, the probability variable background image G105 is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the variable probability latter stage effect mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

The time-saving performance mode is a performance mode that can be set when a special figure variation performance is being performed in the "low-probability high-base game state", and is a performance mode indicating a normal probability state and a time-saving state. In the time saving effect mode, for example, as shown in FIG. 16B-5, a background image representing the sky (background image for time saving G106) is displayed on the display unit 50a. Furthermore, the time reduction performance mode includes a time reduction front stage performance mode before reach is established and a time reduction rear stage performance mode after reach is established in the special figure fluctuation performance. In the time saving front stage production mode, the background image G106 for time saving is displayed on the display unit 50a, but in the time saving rear stage production mode, a dedicated background image corresponding to the type of reach is displayed.

The jackpot production mode is a production mode that can be set when the jackpot game is being performed in the "jackpot game state", and is a production mode indicating that the jackpot game is being performed. In the jackpot production mode, for example, during the opening of the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. A jackpot opening performance is performed in which a winning image G108 is displayed. During the round of the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16(C-2), the display unit 50a displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds and a prize ball number image G110 indicating the number of prize balls paid out. A round production will be performed. During the ending of the jackpot game, as shown in FIG. 16 (C-3), the ending image G111 suggesting the effect mode set after the jackpot game and the total number of awarded balls are indicated on the display unit 50a. A jackpot ending production is performed in which the total prize number image G112 is displayed.

It should be noted that the types of production modes can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, the special figure fluctuation production (also simply referred to as "variation production") will be described. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, when the variable display of the special figure is started, the special figure variation pattern and the special figure lottery result related to the variable display of the special figure (jackpot determination result, jackpot pattern type determination result, reach determination result, and Based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determination result) etc., the special figure fluctuation production is executed. In the special figure variation effect, the variation display of the effect symbol is performed in the display unit 50a so as to be superimposed on a predetermined background image. The production pattern is composed of, for example, number patterns of 1 to 9, and in the variable display of the production pattern, the production pattern fluctuates with the start of the variable display of the special figure, and the production pattern with the end of the variable display of the special figure. stops. That is, after the special figure fluctuation time and the variable display of the effect design are performed, the variation is stopped and the stop display of the effect design is performed. Then, the result of the special figure lottery is informed by the stop display of the production pattern.

In addition, in the special figure fluctuation production, in addition to the fluctuation display of the production pattern, various functions such as the image display device 50, the speaker 52, the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, the movable devices 55, 56, 58, the normal button 40, and the special button 41 It is possible to perform other productions using a production device. In this case, other effects can be continued even after the stop display of the effect symbols.

4-2-1. Effect Symbol Display Area In the display portion 50a of the image display device 50, as shown in FIG. It is possible to provide a symbol area 50b1, a middle effect symbol area 50b2, and a right effect symbol area 50b3. The left effect symbol area 50b1 is an area for displaying the left effect symbol EZ1 when the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in the special figure fluctuation effect. Similarly, the middle production design area 50b2 and the right production design area 50b3 are areas for displaying the middle production design EZ2 and the right production design EZ3.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, it is possible to provide a small pattern area 50c in a section at the left end (upper left corner) of the upper end of the display section 50a. The small pattern area 50c is an area for variably displaying the small patterns KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 when the special symbols are variably displayed. The small patterns KZ1, KZ2, KZ3 are composed of numeral patterns 1 to 9, for example.

In addition, in FIG. 17(A), the left effect pattern area 50b1, the medium effect pattern area 50b2, the right effect pattern area 50b3, and the small pattern area 50c are indicated by two-dot chain lines, but this is the left effect symbol area 50b1. , middle effect symbol region 50b2, right effect symbol region 50b3, and small symbol region 50c, but are not actually displayed.

4-2-2. Normal variation The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform normal variation first in the special figure variation effect. The normal variation functions as an effect suggesting that the variable display of the special figure has started.

When the variable display of the special figure is started, for example, as shown in FIG. Left small pattern KZ1, medium and small pattern KZ2, and right small pattern KZ3 are stopped and displayed, variable display of special symbols is not performed, and from the state of waiting for variable display of special symbols, FIG. 17 (B) , along with the start, the variable display of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is started, and the variable display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is started. In addition, "↓" in FIG. 17 indicates that the symbols are displayed in a variable manner. Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of this special figure is, for example, "normal loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 17 (C-1), the left production pattern EZ1 and the right production pattern EZ3 are different. After temporarily stopping in the stop mode, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a stop mode (so-called split eyes) suggesting a loss, as shown in FIG. 17(D). At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a failure. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that indicate a failure, such as "1, 1, 2" and "2, 4, 6", in which the symbols on the left and right sides are not the same. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern with reach such as "N loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. and the right effect symbol EZ3 are temporarily stopped in the same stop mode (so-called reach eye), and the reach is established. At this time, the fluctuation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is continuously performed, and the ready-to-win performance corresponding to the special figure fluctuation pattern is performed. It should be noted that the stop order and stop mode of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

4-2-3. The N-reach pachinko game machine PY1 can perform N-reach when the reach is established in the normal variation. The N-reach is an effect suggesting that the result of the big win determination may have been a "big win", and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big win.

In the N reach, as shown in FIG. 18 (A), the state in which the reach is established is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and as shown in FIG. decelerates to Then, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "N loss fluctuation", as shown in FIG. Symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are also stopped and displayed all at once in a stop mode suggesting reach-losing. There are a plurality of types of stop modes that suggest reach-losing, such as "7, 6, 7" and "5, 3, 5", in which the left and right symbols are the same and the middle symbols are different from the left and right symbols. On the other hand, when the special figure fluctuation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "N jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. indicate. There are a plurality of types of stop modes suggesting a big win, such as "7, 7, 7" and "2, 2, 2", in which the left and right symbols are the same. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a big win. It should be noted that the content of the N reach effect is not limited to the gradual deceleration of the medium effect symbol EZ2, and can be changed or added as appropriate.

4-2-4. SP reach The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. The SP reach is an effect suggesting that the possibility that the result of the big win determination is a "big win" is higher than the N reach, and functions as an effect for making the player expect a big win.

In SP reach, after N reach, for example, as shown in FIG. An image (SP reach start title image) G1 indicating that reach has started is displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 19B, an SP ready-to-win effect (for example, a battle effect) is performed. Then, when the final stage of the SP reach-only production is reached, the special figure fluctuation pattern of the special figure variable display is, for example, "SP jackpot fluctuation", as shown in FIG. 19 (C-1), the display unit At 50a, an effect suggesting a big win (for example, a display in which the main character is happy to have won a battle) is performed, and the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped in a stop mode (so-called double eyes) suggesting a big win. indicate. At this time, the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a big win. On the other hand, when the special figure variation pattern of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, "SP loss variation", as shown in FIG. ) is performed, and performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a stop mode suggesting reach-losing. At this time, the small patterns KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are all stopped and displayed in a stop mode suggesting a failure. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change or add the contents of the effect of the SP reach.

Here, the possibility that the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 for each ready-to-win are stopped in a mode indicating a big win (big win expectation) will be described in detail. The degree of jackpot expectation for each reach is determined by the execution probability based on the result of jackpot determination. For example, if the execution probability of N reach is set to 10% when the result of the jackpot determination is “losing” and is set to 100% when the result of the jackpot determination is “jackpot”, the execution probability of SP reach is If the result of the jackpot determination is "losing", it is set to 4%, and if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it is set to 100%. Can be set higher. In addition, SP reach A and SP reach B are made executable as SP reach, the execution probability of SP reach A is set to 2% when the result of big hit determination is ``losing'', and the result of big hit determination is ``big hit''. In the case of 20%, the execution probability of SP reach B is set to 2% if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing", and 30% if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot". For example, it is possible to set the SP reach B jackpot expectation higher than the SP reach A jackpot expectation. In this way, by appropriately setting the execution probability according to the result of the big win determination, it is possible to set the degree of expectation for the big win.

As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, first, power-on process (S001) is performed. In the power-on process, access permission setting to the game RAM 104, setting of the game CPU 102, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), etc. are performed.

Following the power-on process, interrupts are prohibited (S002), and the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003) is executed. In this normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process (S003), the counter values of various random numbers shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B are updated by adding 1 to them. When the counter value of each random number 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. At least part of 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 symbol/special symbol 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, the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. Then, after the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) ends, before the next main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is started, various The process of updating the random number counter value is repeatedly executed. When 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).

The jackpot game control process is a process performed in the jackpot game state. In the jackpot game control process, a jackpot game is played using a jackpot game control table. After shifting to the jackpot game state, each round game is started according to the lapse of opening time or closing time. Then, a round game command indicating the start of the round game is generated. Also, the ending is started in accordance with the end of the final round game. Then, an ending command indicating the end of the jackpot game is generated. The ending command includes information about the result of jackpot type determination.

[2-3-5. Game state setting process]
The game state setting process is a process performed when the jackpot game state ends. In the game state setting process, when changing from the normal probability state to the high probability state, the high probability state is set at the end of the jackpot game state. When the duration of the high probability state is limited, the duration of the high probability state (for example, the number of times of variable display of a special figure that allows the high probability state to continue without winning a jackpot) is also set. Then, it generates a high-probability setting command indicating the setting of the high-probability state. In addition, when changing from the non-time-saving state to the time-saving state, the time-saving state is set when the jackpot game state ends. When limiting the duration of the time saving state, the duration of the time saving state (for example, the number of times of variable display of a special figure that allows the time saving state to continue without winning a jackpot) is also set. And the time saving setting command which shows the setting of a time saving state is produced|generated.

The command generated by the game control microcomputer 101 in each process can be added or changed as appropriate.

6. Effect Control by Effect Control Microcomputer 121 Next, the effect control by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. Note that counters, timers, flags, buffers, etc. appearing in the explanation of the control of the effect by the following effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124 .

[1. Sub control main processing]
The effect control microcomputer 121 provided on the sub-control board 120 reads and executes the sub-control main processing program shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main process, first, power-on processing corresponding to power-on is performed (S4001). In the power-on process, for example, settings of the performance CPU 122, settings of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), etc. are performed.

Next, interrupts are prohibited (S4002), and random number seed update processing is executed (S4003). In the random number seed update process (S4003), the values of various effect determination random number counters for making determinations regarding various effects are updated. As an example of the method of updating the random number counter for effect determination for various effects, the same method as the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 can be used. Instead of adding 1 to the random value at the time of updating, it is also possible to add 2 at a time. This is the same in the normal symbol/special symbol main random number update process performed by the main control board 100 described above.

When the random number seed update process ends, command transmission process is executed (S4004). In the command transmission process, various commands stored in the output buffer in the effect RAM 124 of the sub control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140 . The image control board 140 that has received the command displays an image on the display section 50a according to the received command (performs various effects based on the image). Further, the sub-control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 52 via the sound control circuit 161 (executes various sound effects by sound) along with various effects performed by the image control board 140, and controls the lamp. The frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 are caused to emit light via the circuit 151 (executing various light emission effects by light emission), and the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 are operated (various movable body effects are produced by actions). run or).

The effect control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits an interrupt (S4005). Thereafter, steps S4002 to S4005 are looped. While interrupts are enabled, reception interrupt processing (S4010) and sub-side timer interrupt processing (S4011) can be executed.

The reception interrupt process (S4010) is executed each time various commands sent from the main control board 100 are input to the effect control microcomputer 121. In the reception interrupt process (S4010), the production control microcomputer 121 stores various commands transmitted and received by the output process (S101) of the main control board 100 in the reception buffer of the production RAM124. This reception interrupt process is executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4011).

[2. Sub-side timer interrupt processing]
The sub-side timer interrupt processing (S4011) is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a predetermined cycle (for example, a cycle of 1 msec) is input to the sub-control board 120. FIG. In sub-side timer interrupt processing (S4011), as shown in FIG. 26, input processing (S4101), light emission data output processing (S4102), movable device control processing (S4103), watchdog timer processing (S4104), received command analysis Processing (S4105), production timer update processing (S4106), voice control processing (S4107), and production data creation processing (S4108) are sequentially performed.

In the input process, an operation of an operation unit that can be operated by the player, such as the normal button detection switch 40a or the special button detection switch 41a, is detected. In the light emission data output process, light emission data is generated based on the effect data created in the effect data creation process, which will be described later, so as to cause the lamps such as the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 to emit light at the timing that matches the image effect. is output to the lamp control circuit 151 . That is, the production control microcomputer 121 causes the frame lamp 53, the board lamp 54, and the like to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the light emission data. In the movable device control processing, based on the performance data created in the performance data creation processing, drive data is output in order to perform a movable body performance that operates the movable devices such as the movable devices 55, 56, and 58 at a predetermined timing. do. That is, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the movable object effect by operating the movable devices 55, 56, 58 and the like in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data. The watchdog timer process resets the watchdog timer.

In the received command analysis process, the received interrupt process (S4010) analyzes the command stored in the reception buffer of the production RAM 124, and performs processing according to the command (for example, selection of production, setting of production mode, command setting, etc.). I do. In effect timer update processing, the timer for measuring the time for each effect is updated. In the audio control process, audio data (data for controlling the output of audio from the speaker 52) is created and output to the audio control circuit 161 based on the processing result of the received command analysis process. In the effect data creation process, the effect data is created based on the processing result of the received command analysis process.

<First Embodiment>
The first embodiment will be described below. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko game machine PY1 of the basic embodiment described above is also applied to the first embodiment.

First, the big hit determination performed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. When the game control microcomputer 101 performs the jackpot determination when the game state is the high probability state, it is possible to perform the fall determination for determining whether or not to switch from the high probability state to the normal probability state. The game ROM 103 stores a fall determination table shown in FIG. 27(A). The game control microcomputer 101 acquires a falling random number in addition to the special figure related random number shown in FIG. It is stored as special figure 1 reservation or special figure 2 reservation in FIG. 1 reservation storage unit 105a or special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b. Specifically, the special figure-related random number and the falling random number acquired by the game ball winning the first start port 11 are stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a, and the game ball enters the second start port 12 The special figure related random number and the falling random number acquired by winning are stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b. In the first embodiment, the upper limit of the special figure 1 reservation number that can be stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a is "4", and the upper limit of the special figure 2 reservation number that can be stored in the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b It is "4".

The fall random number is a random number for judging a fall, and consists of judgment values from 0 to 79, as shown in FIG. 27(B). The game control microcomputer 101 performs the fall determination using the fall determination table immediately before performing the jackpot determination in the special figure 1 determination process or the special figure 2 determination process. In addition, when the game state is the normal probability state, the falling determination is not performed.

In the fall judgment table, judgment values of fall random numbers are sorted into "fall winning" and "fall not winning", which are the results of fall judgment. In the fall determination, the game control microcomputer 101 collates the fall random number stored in the special figure 1 reservation storage unit 105a or the special figure 2 reservation storage unit 105b with the fall determination table, and determines "fall winning" and "fall non- It is determined whether it is "winning". When the game control microcomputer 101 determines that "falling won" (when the falling random number value is "7"), it switches the game state from the high probability state to the normal probability state, and "falling non-winning". When it is determined that there is (when the fall random number value is other than "7"), the game state is not switched from the high probability state to the normal probability state. In other words, when it is determined as "falling winning", the jackpot determination is performed using the normal probability jackpot determination table, and when it is determined as "falling non-winning", the high probability jackpot determination table is used to determine the jackpot. Judgment is made. It should be noted that the falling winning probability can be changed as appropriate.

Next, the jackpot game executable by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game ROM 103 stores a jackpot game control table shown in FIG. The game control microcomputer 101 can execute a jackpot game using a jackpot game control table shown in FIG. In the first embodiment, the jackpot game is executed using the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. 28, but the jackpot game control table shown in FIG. 14 can also be used.

The game control microcomputer 101 can determine either "jackpot symbol 1" or "jackpot symbol 2" in the jackpot symbol type determination in the special figure 1 determination process. On the other hand, in the big hit design type determination in the special figure 2 determination process, it is possible to determine either "big hit design 3" or "big hit design 4".

The game control microcomputer 101 determines the type of the jackpot pattern in the jackpot pattern type determination in the special figure 1 determination process at a rate of 70% for the "jackpot pattern 1" and 30% for the "jackpot pattern 2". On the other hand, in the jackpot pattern type determination in the special figure 2 determination process, the jackpot pattern type is determined at a ratio of 70% for "jackpot pattern 3" and 30% for "jackpot pattern 4". The game control microcomputer 101, as shown in FIG. 28, executes a jackpot game corresponding to the determined jackpot symbol type. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the determination ratio of the type of the jackpot symbol.

Here, the jackpot game will be described in detail. In the "jackpot game 1" executed when the "jackpot pattern 1" is determined and the "jackpot game 2" executed when the "jackpot pattern 2" is determined, as shown in FIG. A round game is played 16 times. Then, from the 1st round to the 8th round, the first big prize opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per one round game, and from the 9th round to the 16th round, the maximum opening time is 0.1 per round game. The first big prize winning opening 14 is opened over a period of seconds. From 9R to 16R of this jackpot game, the opening time of the first big winning hole 14 is extremely short, and in reality, winning to the first big winning hole 14 cannot be expected. In other words, although the total number of round games in this jackpot game is 16 times, the substantial number of round games is 8 times.

Also, in the "jackpot game 3" executed when the "jackpot pattern 3" is determined, and the "jackpot game 4" executed when the "jackpot pattern 4" is determined, as shown in FIG. , 16 round games are played. In all rounds from the 1st round to the 16th round, the first big prize winning opening 14 is opened for 29.5 seconds at maximum per one round game. In other words, in this jackpot game, the total number of round games and the substantial number of round games are 16 times.

Therefore, "jackpot game 3" or "jackpot game 4" in which the number of substantial round games is 16 times is "jackpot game 1" or "jackpot game 2" in which the number of substantial round games is 8 times. A jackpot game state in which "jackpot game 3" or "jackpot game 4" is executed is a jackpot game state in which "jackpot game 1" or "jackpot game 2" is executed. It can be said that this is a game state that is more advantageous to the player.

Next, game states that can be controlled by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game control microcomputer 101 saves time even after the jackpot game state in which any jackpot game of "jackpot game 1", "jackpot game 2", "jackpot game 3" and "jackpot game 4" is executed. Set state. Further, after the jackpot game state in which one of the jackpot games of the "jackpot game 1" and the "jackpot game 3" is executed, the high probability state is set, while the "jackpot game 2" and the "jackpot game 4" are set. After the jackpot game state in which any jackpot game is executed, the high probability state is not set (the normal probability state is set). Therefore, after the jackpot game state in which one of the jackpot games of the "jackpot game 1" and "jackpot game 3" is executed, the "high-probability high base game state" in which the high-probability state and the time-saving state are set is entered. After the jackpot game state in which one of the jackpot games ``jackpot game 2'' and ``jackpot game 4'' is executed, a ``low-probability high-base game state'' in which a normal-probability state and a time-saving state are set is entered. In the first embodiment, the "high-probability, high-base gaming state" can be continued either until it is determined to be "fall-winning" in the fall determination or until it is determined to be a big hit in the jackpot determination. be. On the other hand, the "low probability high base game state" can be continued until the number of times of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times.

Therefore, "jackpot game 1" or "jackpot game 3" in which the high probability state is set after that is more advantageous to the player than "jackpot game 2" or "jackpot game 4" in which the high probability state is not set after that. It can be said that it is a jackpot game, and the jackpot game state in which "jackpot game 1" or "jackpot game 3" is executed gives more attention to the player than the jackpot game state in which "jackpot game 2" or "jackpot game 4" is executed. It can be said that it is an advantageous game state.

Here, at the time of "high probability high base game state", the time saving state when it is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall judgment and the time saving state when it is judged to be a big hit in the big hit judgment will be explained. do. The game control microcomputer 101 determines that it is "fall winning" in the fall determination until the number of times of variable display of the special figure after entering the "high probability high base game state" reaches 100 times. Do not switch from a time-saving state to a non-time-saving state. For example, if it is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination related to the variable display of the 50th special figure, as shown in FIG. You cannot switch from a state to a non-time saving state. After that, when the variable display and stop display of the 100th special figure are finished, the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is the "high probability high base game state" from the 1st time to the 49th time, the "low probability high base game state" from the 50th time to the 100th time, and the 101st time and later is the "low probability high base game state". low-probability base game state”.

On the other hand, the game control microcomputer 101 did not determine that it was a "fall winning" in the fall determination even if the number of times of variable display of the special figure after entering the "high probability high base game state" reached 100 times. In some cases, the reduced working hours state will continue thereafter. Then, when it is determined that it is "fall winning" in the subsequent fall determination, when starting the variable display of the special figure, it switches from the time saving state to the non-time saving state. For example, if it is determined to be "fall winning" in the drop determination related to the variable display of the 120th special figure, as shown in FIG. While being switched from a high probability state to a normal probability state, it is switched from a time saving state to a non-time saving state. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is "high probability high base game state" from the 1st time to 119th time, and "low probability low base game state" after the 120th time.

In addition, the game control microcomputer 101, until the number of times of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times after entering the "high probability high base game state", when determining that it is a "jackpot" in the jackpot determination, The time saving state is continued until the variable display and the stop display of the special figure based on the determination are completed. On the other hand, after the number of times of variable display of the special figure after entering the "high probability high base gaming state" is 101 times or later, when it is determined that it is a "jackpot" in the jackpot determination, the variable display of the special figure based on the determination When starting, switch from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state. For example, if it is determined to be a "jackpot" in the jackpot determination related to the variable display of the 120th special figure, as shown in FIG. You can switch from the state to the non-time saving state. In other words, after the 101st variable display of the special figure in the time saving state, even if it is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination, it is determined to be a "jackpot" in the jackpot determination. Even in the case, it can be switched from the time saving state to the non-time saving state at the same timing (start of variable display of special figures). Therefore, depending on the switching from the time-saving state to the non-time-saving state, it is not possible to determine whether it is determined that the fall determination is ``fall winning'' or that the big hit determination is ``big hit''. In this case, the variable display of the special figure is "high probability high base game state" for the 1st to 119th times, and "high probability low base game state" for the 120th time.

In addition, the game RAM 104 is provided with a number storage unit (not shown) for storing the number of times of variable display of the special figure, and the game control microcomputer 101 can change the variable display of the special figure after setting the time saving state. According to the start, by updating the number of times stored in the number of times storage unit, it is possible to count the number of variable display of the special figure after setting the time saving state. The number of times stored in the number-of-times storage unit is reset when the next jackpot game is played.

Next, the special figure 2 variation pattern that can be determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. In the game ROM 103, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. 30 (A), the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B shown in FIG. 30 (B), and the special figure 2 shown in FIG. Variation pattern determination table C, special figure 2 variation pattern determination table D shown in FIG. 30 (D), and special figure 2 variation pattern determination table E shown in FIG. 30 (E) are stored. The game control microcomputer 101 is shown in FIGS. 30A to 30E, special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A, special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B, special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C, special figure It is possible to determine the special figure 2 variation pattern using the 2 variation pattern determination table D or the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table E. In the first embodiment, shown in FIGS. 30 (A) to 30 (E), the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A to E is used, but the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12 is also used It is also possible to use

The game control microcomputer 101, in the special figure 2 variation pattern determination processing in the time saving state, the state of the jackpot probability, the result of the jackpot determination, the result of the reach determination, the random number of the special figure variation pattern and the number of times of variable display of the special figure , determines the special figure 2 variation pattern. As shown in FIGS. 30(A) to 30(E), as special figure 2 variation patterns, 19 types of "THP001" to "THP009", "THP011" to "THP018", "THP021" to "THP022" It is possible to determine the special figure 2 variation pattern. Which Toku-zu 2 variation pattern is determined depends on the Toku-zu variation pattern random number.

In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A, the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after "jackpot game 1", "jackpot game 2", "jackpot game 3", and "jackpot game 4" are executed It is used in the case of the 1st time to the 99th time, and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B is 100 times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after "jackpot game 1" and "jackpot game 3" are executed. Used in the case of the first time, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C is the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after the "jackpot game 1" and "jackpot game 3" are executed. The special figure 2 variation pattern determination table D is used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state after "jackpot game 2" and "jackpot game 4" is executed is the 100th time. The special figure 2 variation pattern determination table E is switched from the time saving state to the non-time saving state after "jackpot game 1", "jackpot game 2", "jackpot game 3", and "jackpot game 4" are executed. It is used when the number of times of variable display of the special figure after is the 1st to 10th times. In addition, it is possible to appropriately change the number of times of variable display of special figures in which each special figure 2 variation pattern determination table is used.

In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A, if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", regardless of the state of the jackpot probability, there are three types of special figure 2 variation patterns, "THP001" to "THP003". One of them is determined. Of the three types of special figure 1 variation patterns, "THP002" is easier to determine than other special figure 2 variation patterns. Incidentally, "THP001" is called "immediate jackpot change", "THP002" is called "confrontation jackpot change", and "THP003" is called "confrontation/revival jackpot change".

Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing" and the result of the reach determination is "with reach", regardless of the state of the jackpot probability, as a special figure 2 variation pattern, "THP011" to "THP012" Either one of the two types is determined. Of the two types of special figure 2 variation patterns, it is easier to determine "THP011" than "THP012". Note that "THP011" is referred to as "confrontation loss variation", and "THP012" is referred to as "confrontation/revival loss variation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing" and the result of the reach determination is "no reach", regardless of the state of the jackpot probability, as a special figure 2 variation pattern, "THP021" to "THP022" Either one of the two types is determined. The allocation is different depending on the number of special figures 2 pending, which one of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns is determined. If the number of special figures 2 pending is 0 to 1, "THP021" of 13000 ms with a relatively long special figure fluctuation time is likely to be determined, and if the number of special figures 2 pending is 2 to 4, special figures “THP022” with a relatively short fluctuation time of 4000 ms is easily determined. "THP021" is referred to as "normal A losing variation", and "THP022" is referred to as "normal B losing variation".

In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B, if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", regardless of the state of the jackpot probability, as the special figure 2 variation pattern, "THP004" to "THP005". one of them is determined. Of the two types of special figure 2 variation patterns, it is easier to determine "THP005" than "THP004". "THP004" is referred to as "branch jackpot variation", and "THP005" is referred to as "branch/revival jackpot variation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot judgment is "losing" and the current jackpot probability is in a high probability state (if all 100 fall judgments are judged to be "falling non-winning"), As the variation pattern in FIG. 2, one of two types of "THP013" to "THP014" is determined. Of the two types of special figure 2 variation patterns, it is easier to determine "THP014" than "THP013". Note that "THP013" is referred to as "branch/success loss variation". "THP014" is referred to as a "branch/revival/success loss variation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot judgment is "losing" and the current jackpot probability is in the normal probability state (if it is judged to be "fall winning" in any of the 100 fall judgments), Only "THP015" is determined as the FIG. 2 variation pattern. Note that "THP015" is referred to as "branch/revival/failure loss variation".

In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C, when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", regardless of the state of the jackpot probability, as the special figure 2 variation pattern, "THP001", "THP006" to "THP007" Any one of the three types is determined. Of the three types of special figure 1 variation patterns, "THP007" is easier to determine than other special figure 2 variation patterns. Incidentally, "THP006" is referred to as "finishing jackpot variation", and "THP007" is referred to as "finishing/revival jackpot variation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot judgment is "losing" and the current jackpot probability is in the normal probability state (if it is judged to be "falling winning" in the fall judgment), as a special figure 2 variation pattern, Only "THP016" is determined. In addition, "THP016" is referred to as "settlement/resurrection/failure loss change".

Also, if the result of the jackpot judgment is "losing" and the current jackpot probability is in a high probability state (if it is judged to be "falling non-winning" in the fall judgment), as a special figure 2 variation pattern , "THP021" to "THP022". The allocation is different depending on the number of special figures 2 pending, which one of the two types of special figure 2 fluctuation patterns is determined. When the special figure 2 reservation number is 0 to 1, "THP021" is easily determined, and when the special figure 2 reservation number is 2 to 4, "THP022" is easily determined.

In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table D, if the result of the big hit determination is "big hit", "THP008" is determined as the special figure 2 variation pattern, and if the result of the big hit determination is "loss" , "THP017" is determined as a special figure 2 variation pattern. "THP008" is referred to as "result big hit variation", and "THP017" is referred to as "result losing variation".

In the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table E, if the result of the big hit determination is "big hit", "THP009" is determined as the special figure 2 variation pattern, and if the result of the big hit determination is "loss" , "THP018" is determined as a special figure 2 variation pattern. In addition, "THP009" is called "revenge big hit fluctuation", and "THP018" is called "revenge loss fluctuation".

Next, the look-ahead determination performed by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game ROM 103 stores a prefetch determination table A shown in FIG. 31(A) and a prefetch determination table B shown in FIG. 31(B). The game control microcomputer 101 can make a prefetch determination using a prefetch determination table A or a prefetch determination table B shown in FIGS. 31(A) and 31(B). This look-ahead determination includes a big hit look-ahead determination whether or not the acquired special symbol random number is determined to be a "big hit" in the big hit determination, and a special figure variation pattern random number that is acquired in the special figure variation pattern determination. Variation pattern look-ahead determination of whether it is determined to be a special figure variation pattern and fall look-ahead determination of whether or not the acquired fall random number is determined to be "fall winning" in fall determination. The game control microcomputer 101 determines the start winning command based on the result of the prefetch determination. In the first embodiment, the prefetch determination table A and the prefetch determination table B shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B are used, but the prefetch determination table shown in FIG. 13 can also be used together. It is possible.

The game control microcomputer 101, in the second start sensor processing when the time saving state is set, the result of the big hit look-ahead determination, the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead determination, the result of the fall look-ahead determination, and the number of times of variable display of the special figure determines the starting winning command. As shown in FIGS. 31(A) and 31(B), "command 001" to "command 008", "command 011" to "command 017", "command 021" to "command 022" are used as starting winning commands. It is possible to determine 17 types of start winning commands.

In addition, the game control microcomputer 101, when the special figure 2 reservation occurs in the time saving state, based on the number of times of variable display of the special figure in the time saving state and the special figure 2 reservation number, the special figure based on the special figure 2 reservation It is possible to determine whether the variable display of corresponds to the variable display of the special figure of what time in the time saving state. For example, when the number of variable display of special figures in the time saving state is the 50th time, special figure 2 suspension occurs when the number of special figures 2 suspension is "2", the variable display of special figures based on the special figure 2 suspension , It is determined that it corresponds to the variable display of the 52nd special figure. Then, the game control microcomputer 101 can determine a start winning command in accordance with the determination of how many times the variable display of the special figure based on the generated special figure 2 suspension corresponds to the variable display of the special figure. .

In addition, the game control microcomputer 101 has already "fall winning Based on whether it is determined that the It is possible. For example, if it is determined that it is "fall winning" in the fall lookahead judgment for the special figure 2 hold, which corresponds to the 120th special figure variable display in the time saving state, the special figure equivalent to the 121st and later special figure variable display When the FIG. 2 hold occurs, it is determined that the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 hold is performed in a non-time saving state. Then, the game control microcomputer 101, according to the determination whether or not the variable display of the special figure based on the generated special figure 2 hold corresponds to the variable display of the special figure performed in the non-time saving state, the start winning command can be determined.

The lookahead determination table A is used when the number of times of variable display of the current special figure in the time saving state is 1 to 100 times, and the lookahead determination table B is used when the number of times of variable display of the current special figure in the time saving state is 101. It is used in the case after the first time.

In the look-ahead determination table A, when the result of the look-ahead determination of big win is "big win", regardless of the result of the look-ahead determination of fall, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the look-ahead determination of the variation pattern. If the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead determination is "immediate jackpot fluctuation", "command 001" is determined, and if it is "confrontation jackpot fluctuation", "command 002" is decided, and "confrontation/revival jackpot fluctuation" is determined. ”, “command 003” is determined, if it is “branch jackpot variation”, “command 004” is determined, and if it is “branch/resurrection jackpot variation”, “command 005” is determined be done. It should be noted that, if the number of times of variable display of the special figure corresponds to the 101st to 104th, regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern pre-reading determination, "command 008" is determined.

Also, in the look-ahead determination table A, if the result of the jackpot look-ahead determination is "losing", the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 pending, which is the target of the look-ahead determination, is the 100th special figure in the time saving state. When it corresponds to other than the variable display, the start winning command is determined according to the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead determination regardless of the fall look-ahead determination result. If the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination is "confrontation loss variation", "command 011" is determined, and if it is "confrontation / revival loss variation", "command 012" is determined, and "normal A loss If it is "variation", "command 021" is determined, and if it is "normal B loss variation", "command 022" is determined. On the other hand, when the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 hold, which is the target of the lookahead judgment, corresponds to the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time saving state, the result of the fall lookahead judgment or the result of the fluctuation pattern lookahead judgment A start winning command is determined accordingly. If the fall lookahead determination result is "fall not won" and the variation pattern lookahead determination result is "branch/success loss variation", "command 013" is determined, and the fall lookahead determination result is "fall not won". In addition, when the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead judgment is "branch/resurrection success loss fluctuation", "command 014" is decided, and when the result of the fall look-ahead judgment is "fall winning", "command 015" is decided. be done. It should be noted that, when the number of times of variable display of the special figure corresponds to the 101st to 104th, regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination, "command 017" is determined.

Here, the starting winning command determined by the look-ahead determination table A will be described. "Command 008" and "command 017" are determined for the special figure 2 hold, which corresponds to the 101st to 104th times of the variable display of the special figure, so the variable of the special figure based on the special figure 2 hold There are cases where the display is performed in a state where the time saving state is switched to the non-time saving state, and when the display is performed in a state where the time saving state continues (see FIGS. 29A and 29B). When the time saving state is switched from the non-working time saving state to the non-working time saving state, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table used is different (see FIG. 30 (C), FIG. 30 (E)), so the special figure In the look-ahead judgment for the special figure 2 hold, which corresponds to the 101st to 104th times of the variable display, the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead judgment is not referred to, and based only on the result of the jackpot look-ahead judgment, "Command 008" or " command 017" is determined.

In addition, "command 013", "command 014", and "command 015" correspond to the variable display of special figures based on the special figure 2 suspension that is the target of prefetching determination, and corresponds to the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time saving state. determined only occasionally. As mentioned above, in the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time saving state, if the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, as a special figure 2 variation pattern "branch / success loss variation", "branch / revival / success loss Only "variation" or "branch/resurrection/failure loss variation" is determined (see FIG. 30(B)). Therefore, in the look-ahead determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th special figure variable display in the time saving state, "command 011", "command 012", "command 021", "command 022" are not determined, " Command 013", "Command 014", and "Command 015" are determined.

In the look-ahead determination table B, when the result of the look-ahead determination of big win is "big hit", regardless of the result of the look-ahead determination of fall, a start winning command is determined according to the result of the look-ahead determination of the variation pattern. If the result of the fluctuation pattern prefetch determination is "immediate jackpot fluctuation", "command 001" is determined, and if it is "finishing jackpot fluctuation", "command 006" is decided, and "finishing/revival jackpot fluctuation" is determined. , "command 007" is determined. In addition, if it corresponds to the variable display of a special figure that is performed in a non-time-saving state (if it has already been determined to be "fall winning" in the fall look-ahead judgment), regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead judgment, " command 008" is determined.

In addition, in the look-ahead determination table B, when the result of the look-ahead determination of the big hit is "losing", the start winning command is determined according to the result of the look-ahead determination of the fall or the result of the look-ahead determination of the variation pattern. If the fall look-ahead judgment result is "fall not won" and the variation pattern look-ahead judgment result is "normal A loss variation", "command 021" is determined, and the fall look-ahead judgment result is "fall not won" and "Command 022" is determined when the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead determination is "Normal B Loss Fluctuation", and "Command 016" is determined when the result of the fall look-ahead determination is "Fall winning". In addition, if it corresponds to the variable display of a special figure that is performed in a non-time-saving state (if it has already been determined to be "fall winning" in the fall look-ahead judgment), regardless of the result of the fluctuation pattern look-ahead judgment, " command 017" is determined.

Here, the starting winning command determined by the look-ahead determination table B will be described. "Command 008" and "command 017" are determined for the special figure 2 suspension related to the variable display of the special figure performed after being switched to the non-time saving state. In the case of switching to the non-time saving state, because the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table E is used (see FIG. 30 (E)), the special figure related to the variable display of the special figure performed after being switched to the non-working time saving state In the look-ahead determination for 2 hold, the result of the variation pattern look-ahead determination is not referred to, and "command 008" or "command 017" is determined based only on the result of the jackpot look-ahead determination.

In addition, "command 016" is determined only when it is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination for the special figure 2 hold that is the target of prefetch determination. As described above, when it is determined that the drop is "winning" in the drop determination, the jackpot determination is performed in a state switched to the normal probability state. In this case, only "settlement/resurrection/failure loss variation" is determined as the special figure 2 variation pattern (see FIG. 30(C)). Therefore, in the look-ahead judgment for the special figure 2 hold, which is judged to be "fall winning" in the fall judgment, "command 021" and "command 022" are not decided, and "command 016" is decided. there is

Next, the production modes that can be set by the production control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIG. The effect control microcomputer 121 can set "super RUSH mode", "RUSH mode" or "revenge mode" after the jackpot gaming state.

The "super RUSH mode" is an effect mode suggesting a "high-probability high-base game state", and is set according to the start of the "high-probability high-base game state". The "RUSH mode" is an effect mode suggesting a "low-probability high-base game state", and is set according to the start of the "low-probability high-base game state". "Revenge mode" is a production mode that suggests a "low probability low base gaming state". It is set according to changing from "high probability base game state" to "low probability low base game state". Each effect mode is distinguished by the display on the display section 50a. When the "super RUSH mode" is set, a band image with the words "super RUSH mode" is displayed at the top of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 34(A)), and the "RUSH mode" is displayed. When set, a band image with the characters "RUSH mode" is displayed at the top of the display unit 50a (see FIG. 40(A)), and when "Revenge mode" is set, A band image with the characters "Revenge Mode" is displayed in the upper portion of the display section 50a (see FIG. 46(B)).

In FIG. 32(A), after the jackpot gaming state, it becomes a “high probability high base gaming state”, and after the variable display of the 100+α-th (α is an integer of 1 or more) special figure, it is determined that it is “falling winning” in the fall judgment. It is a figure which shows the transition A of the production|presentation mode in case it determines. When the "high probability high base gaming state" is started, the "super RUSH mode" is set. "Super RUSH mode" can be continued until variable display of special figures for 100 times is performed. If the "high probability high base game state" is maintained without switching to the normal probability state by all the fall judgments related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the "super RUSH mode", the 101st special The "super RUSH mode" continues even after the variable display of the figure. This "super RUSH mode" continues until it is determined that it is "fall winning" in fall determination or until it is determined as "big win" in big win determination. During the "super RUSH mode" of the variable display of the 100+αth special figure, if it is determined that it is "fall winning" in the fall judgment, from "high probability high base game state" to "low probability low base game state" However, the "super RUSH mode" continues even in this "low-probability low-base game state" (see FIG. 29(B)). And "revenge mode" is set according to the end of the variable display of this special figure. The "revenge mode" continues until the variable display of special symbols for 10 times is performed, or until the next jackpot game is executed. Note that the "super RUSH mode" may be terminated when it is determined that the player has won a "fall win" in the fall determination.

FIG. 32(B) shows the "high probability high base game state" after the jackpot game state, and the transition of the production mode when it is determined as "jackpot" in the jackpot determination after the variable display of the 100+α-th special figure. FIG. 3B is a diagram showing B. FIG. When the "high probability high base game state" is started, the "super RUSH mode" is set. If the "high probability high base game state" is maintained without switching to the normal probability state by all fall judgments related to the variable display of 100 special figures in the "super RUSH mode", the 101st special figure The "super RUSH mode" continues even after the variable display of . After that, if it is determined that it is a "jackpot" in the jackpot determination during the "super RUSH mode" of the variable display of the 100+αth special figure, from the "high probability high base game state" to the "high probability low base game state" (See FIG. 29C), but the "super RUSH mode" continues even in this "high probability low base game state". Then, a big win performance mode is set according to the start of the big win game state. It should be noted that the "super RUSH mode" may be terminated when it is determined to be a "jackpot" in the jackpot determination.

FIG. 32(C) shows that after the jackpot gaming state, the "high-probability high-base gaming state" is entered, and before the variable display of the special figure for 100 times is performed, it is determined that the fall determination is "fall winning". It is a figure which shows the transition C of production|presentation mode. When the "high probability high base game state" is started, the "super RUSH mode" is set. When the normal probability state is switched to the "low probability high base game state" by any fall judgment related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times in the "super RUSH mode", the 100th special figure A "revenge mode" is set according to the end of the variable display (becomes a "low-probability low-base game state"). The "revenge mode" continues until the variable display of special symbols for 10 times is performed, or until the next jackpot game is executed. It should be noted that the "super RUSH mode" may be terminated when it is determined to be "losing" in the jackpot determination related to the variable display of the 100th special figure.

FIG. 32(D) shows a "low probability high base game state" after the jackpot game state, and the production mode when it is determined to be "losing" in all the jackpot determinations related to the variable display of the special figure for 100 times. is a diagram showing a transition D of . When the "low probability high base game state" is started, the "RUSH mode" is set. "RUSH mode" can be continued until variable display of special figures for 100 times is performed. If the jackpot game is not performed even if the variable display of the special figure is performed 100 times in the "RUSH mode", the variable display of the special figure ends for the 100th time (becomes "low probability low base game state") "Revenge Mode" is set accordingly. The "revenge mode" continues until the variable display of special symbols for 10 times is performed or until the next jackpot game is executed. It should be noted that the "RUSH mode" may be terminated when it is determined to be "losing" in the jackpot determination relating to the variable display of the 100th special figure.

In addition, when the jackpot game is not performed even if the variable display of the special figure is performed 10 times during the "revenge mode", the normal production mode is set according to the start of the variable display of the special figure for the 11th time. .

<Effects of the first embodiment>
The effects of the pachinko game machine PY1 described in the first embodiment will be described below.

(1) After entering the “high probability high base game state”, the time saving state continues regardless of the result of the fall judgment until the number of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times, so it is immediately advantageous It is possible to increase interest in the game without ending the game state.

(2) After entering the "high probability high base game state", even if the number of variable display of the special figure reaches 100 times, if it is not determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination, the time saving state continues, the advantageous game state can be continued for a long time, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

(3) After the number of variable display of the special figure in the "high probability high base game state" exceeds 100 times, when the fall judgment is judged to be "fall winning" and the jackpot judgment is "jackpot" If it is determined to be, the time saving state ends at the same timing, so whether it was determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination or "jackpot" in the jackpot determination, It is possible to make it difficult to discriminate, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(4) After the number of variable display of the special figure in the "high probability high base game state" exceeds 100 times, when it is determined that it is "fall winning" in the fall judgment and "jackpot" in the jackpot judgment If it is determined that it is, a common "finishing reach" may be performed. It is possible to make it difficult to determine whether the game has been played or not, thereby increasing the interest in the game.

(5) When the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time-saving state “Super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode” ends and it becomes a non-time-saving state, and when it falls in the time-saving state “Super RUSH mode” When it is determined that it is "fall winning" by judgment and it becomes a non-time saving state, it shifts to a common "revenge mode", so it is easy to understand that it has become a non-time saving state. It is possible to increase interest.

<Second embodiment>
The second embodiment will be described below. Unless otherwise stated, the basic embodiment and the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first embodiment are also applied to the second embodiment.

First, using FIGS. 33 to 42, according to the special figure 2 variation pattern determined by the game control microcomputer 101, the special figure variation production that the production control microcomputer 121 can execute will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute the following productions in the special figure fluctuation production.

A. Normal variation It is a production that may be performed according to the start of the variable display of the special figure. Since it is performed first in the special figure fluctuation production, it functions as a production that suggests that the special figure fluctuation production has been started.

B. Reach After the "normal fluctuation", the left production pattern EZ1 and the right production pattern EZ3 are the same pattern and are temporarily stopped and displayed. Since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be played. In addition, since it may develop into reach effects such as "confrontation reach" and "decision reach" after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that the reach effect will be performed.

C. After the ``normal variation'' in the ``super RUSH mode'' and ``RUSH mode'', the upper-board movable body 55k and the lower-board movable body 56k move onto the display part 50a without establishing the ``reach''. It is a performance. Since it may be performed only when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game will be played.

D. Confrontation Reach In the 1st to 99th special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode" and "RUSH Mode", it is a production that may be performed after "Reach", and it is a reach production in which the main character battles with the enemy character. be. Since it is more likely to be played when the result of the big win determination is "big win" than when it is "losing", it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a high possibility that a big win game will be played.

E. Settlement reach In the 101st and later special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode", this is an effect that may be performed after "reach", and is a reach effect in which the main character battles with a strong enemy character. Since it is more likely to be played when the result of the big win determination is "big win" than when it is "losing", it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a high possibility that a big win game will be played. In addition, since it may be performed when the result of the fall judgment is "fall winning", it also functions as an effect that suggests that there is a possibility of switching from the high probability state to the normal probability state.

F. Branch production This is an production that may be performed in the 100th special figure variation production in the "super RUSH mode", and is an production in which the main character challenges a mission. After that, since the time saving state may continue, it functions as an effect suggesting that the time saving state may continue. In addition, since the time saving state may end after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the time saving state may end. In addition, since the jackpot game may be played after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game may be played.

G. Result effect This is a effect that may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the “RUSH mode”, and is a effect that suggests the end of the “RUSH mode”. After that, since the time saving state may be switched to the non-time saving state, it functions as an effect suggesting that the time saving state ends or the non-working time saving state starts. In addition, since it may shift to "revenge mode" after that, it also functions as an effect that suggests shifting to "revenge mode".

H. Dialog announcement This is an effect that may be performed during the "normal change" in the "super RUSH mode", and is an announcement effect in which the main character utters a line. Since it may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot", it functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

I. Resurrection production A
This is an effect sometimes performed after the hero character is defeated by the enemy character in the "showdown reach", and is an effect in which the hero character tries to revive by repeatedly pressing the normal button 40.例文帳に追加After that, since a jackpot game may be played, it functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be played.

J. Resurrection performance B
This is an effect that may be performed after the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in the "finish reach", and is an effect that the main character tries to revive by repeatedly pressing the normal button 40.例文帳に追加After that, since a jackpot game may be played, it functions as an effect suggesting that a jackpot game may be played.

K. Resurrection production C
This is an effect that may be performed after the main character fails a mission in the "branch effect", and is an effect in which the main character attempts the mission again by repeatedly pressing the normal button 40.例文帳に追加After that, since the time saving state may continue, it functions as an effect suggesting that the time saving state may continue. In addition, since the jackpot game may be played after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game may be played.

L. Jackpot Announcement Effect This is a ``branch effect'' or ``resurrection effect C'' effect that may be performed after the main character succeeds in the mission. After that, since the jackpot game is performed, it functions as an effect suggesting that the jackpot game is performed.

M. Revival promotion A
This is an effect that may be performed after the main character is defeated by the enemy character in "Confrontation Reach", and is an effect in which the image of the normal button 40 is faded-in. Since "resurrection effect A" may be performed after that, it functions as an effect suggesting that "resurrection effect A" may be performed.

N. Revival promotion B
This is an effect that may be performed after the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in the "finish reach", and is an effect in which the image of the normal button 40 is faded-in. Since "resurrection effect B" may be performed after that, it functions as an effect suggesting that "resurrection effect B" may be performed.

Next, the production flow of the main special figure fluctuation production will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the effect flow, and according to the display of the effect image, the light emission effect using the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 and the speaker. 52 can be performed.

In the special figure variation performance in which the special figure 2 variation pattern is "immediate big hit variation", as shown in FIG.

In the special figure variation effect of the special figure 2 variation pattern "confrontation big hit variation" and "confrontation loss variation", as shown in FIG. A production flow is executed. In addition, although the details will be described later, in the "confrontation reach" of the "confrontation loss change", the "resurrection inciting effect A" may be performed.

In the special figure variation production where the special figure 2 variation pattern is "confrontation / revival jackpot variation" and "confrontation / revival loss variation", as shown in FIG. ”→“Resurrection effect A” is executed. In addition, although the details will be described later, in the "confrontation reach" of the "confrontation/resurrection loss variation" and "confrontation/resurrection loss variation", the "resurrection fanning effect A" may be performed.

In the special figure variation performance in which the special figure 2 variation pattern is "branch jackpot variation" and "branch/success loss variation", as shown in FIG. be.

Special figure 2 variation patterns are "branch/resurrection jackpot variation", "branch/resurrection/success loss variation", and "branch/resurrection/failure loss variation" special figure variation effects, as shown in FIG. An effect flow composed of "branch effect"→"resurrection effect C" is executed.

Special figure 2 variation pattern is "finishing jackpot variation" in the special figure variation effect, as shown in FIG. be.

In the special figure variation performance of the special figure 2 variation pattern "settlement / revival jackpot variation" and "settlement / revival / failure loss variation", as shown in FIG. An effect flow composed of "Decision reach"→"Resurrection effect B" is executed. Although the details will be described later, in the "finish reach" of "finish/resurrection big hit fluctuation" and "finish/resurrection/failure loss fluctuation", "resurrection fanning production B" may be performed.

In the special figure variation performance in which the special figure 2 variation pattern is "result big hit variation" and "result losing variation", as shown in FIG.

In the special-figure variation performance in which the special-figure 2 variation patterns are "normal A-loss variation" and "normal-B-loss variation", a performance flow composed only of "normal variation" is executed (not shown).

Next, the main effects executed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be specifically described. It should be noted that, in the special figure variation performance described below, along with the variation display of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3, the variation display of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is also performed, but the illustration of the small symbols KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 is omitted. do. In addition, in the special figure fluctuation production described below, the display of the pending icon HA is also performed in parallel, but the illustration of the pending icon HA is omitted.

First, the “jackpot determination effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the "jackpot determination effect" when the special figure 2 variation pattern is the "immediate jackpot variation". "Big hit fixed production" may be performed other than the 100th special figure fluctuation production in "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode". In the "jackpot determination effect", the execution of the "jackpot game 3" is suggested.

FIGS. 34(A) to 34(C) are diagrams showing how the "big win confirmation effect" is performed. When the "normal fluctuation" is started in the special figure fluctuation production, as shown in FIG. 34(A), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display section 50a. Thereafter, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses after the variable display of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is started, a "big win finalization performance" is performed.

In the "jackpot confirmation production", as shown in FIG. 34(B), when all of the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed in a variable manner, the upper board movable body 55k and the lower board movable body 56k are displayed. Appears on part 50a. Specifically, the on-board movable body 55k is lowered from the normal standby state, and the lower-board movable body 56k is raised from the normal standby state. After that, the upper board movable body 55k and the lower board movable body 56k return to the normal standby state, and as shown in FIG. 7 7 ” stop display.

Next, the "fight reach" and the "resurrection effect A" will be specifically described. The performance control microcomputer 121 can execute "Confrontation Reach" when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "Confrontation big hit variation", "Confrontation/resurrection big winning variation", "Confrontation loss variation", and "Confrontation/resurrection loss variation". , and when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "confrontation/resurrection jackpot variation" and "confrontation/resurrection loss variation", "resurrection production A" can be executed. "Confrontation reach" and "resurrection effect A" may be performed in the 1st to 99th special figure variation effects in the "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode", but they are not performed otherwise. The possibility of execution of the "jackpot game 3" is suggested in the "confrontation reach" and "resurrection effect A".

FIGS. 35(A) to 35(E) are diagrams showing how the "showdown reach" is performed. When the "normal fluctuation" is started in the special figure fluctuation production, as shown in FIG. 35(A), the production symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display section 50a. After that, as shown in FIG. 35(B), when the "reach" is established, the "confrontation reach" is performed.

In "Confrontation Reach", as shown in FIG. 35(C), a main character image G10 and an enemy character image G11 are displayed on the display section 50a, and a battle scene between the main character and the enemy character is displayed. After that, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "confrontation big hit variation", as shown in FIG. , EZ2, and EZ3 stop and display in a mode suggesting a big win (for example, 5, 5, 5). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "Confrontation/Resurrection Jackpot Variation", "Confrontation Loss Variation", and "Confrontation/Resurrection Loss Variation", as shown in FIG. A scene in which the character is defeated (a scene in which the main character falls down) is displayed on the display part 50a, and the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a failure (for example, reach failure of '5, 6, 5'). . After that, if the special figure 2 variation pattern is "confrontation loss variation", the special figure variation production ends as it is, but the special figure 2 variation pattern is "confrontation / revival jackpot variation", "confrontation / revival loss variation" , a ``resurrection effect A'' is performed.

36(A) to 36(E) are diagrams showing how the "resurrection effect A" is performed. A scene in which the main character is defeated by the enemy character in the "showdown reach" is displayed on the display unit 50a, and when the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a failure (see FIG. 35(E)), " Before the revival performance A” is performed, the ``resurrection stirring performance A'' is performed. It should be noted that the "resurrection fanning production A" may also be performed in the special figure fluctuation production of the "confrontation loss fluctuation", and the details will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 36(A), in the "resurrection fan effect A", translucent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right sides of the display unit 50a, respectively, and the two button images G12a and G12b appear. A fade-in display is performed in which the is moved toward the center. After that, as shown in FIG. 36(B), when the two button images G12a and G12b overlap at the center of the display section 50a, the "resurrection effect A" is performed.

In the "resurrection effect A", the button operation effective period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. , an operation prompting image G13 for prompting repeated pressing of the normal button 40 is displayed. After that, in response to the repeated operation of the normal button 40 during the valid period of button operation, or after the valid period of button operation has passed without the repeated operation of the normal button 40 during the valid period of button operation, the special figure 2 changes. When the pattern is "confrontation/revival jackpot variation", as shown in FIG. 36(D), a scene in which the main character stands up is displayed on the display section 50a, and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 suggest a jackpot. (for example, doubles of "5-5-5") and stop display. On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "confrontation/revival loss variation", as shown in FIG. EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, a reach loss of "5, 6, 5").

Next, the "branch effect" and the "resurrection effect C" will be specifically described. The production control microcomputer 121 has a special figure 2 variation pattern of "branch jackpot variation", "branch/resurrection jackpot variation", "branch/success loss variation", "branch/resurrection/success loss variation", "branch/resurrection/ "Branch production" can be executed in the case of "failure loss variation", and the special figure 2 variation pattern is "branch / revival jackpot variation", "branch / revival / success loss variation", "branch / revival / failure loss variation" In the case of , "resurrection effect C" can be executed. "Branch effect" and "revival effect C" may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", but they are not performed otherwise. In the "branch effect" and "resurrection effect C", the continuation of the "super RUSH mode", the end of the "super RUSH mode", or the execution of the "jackpot game 3" are suggested.

37(A) to 37(D) are diagrams showing how the "branch effect" is performed. "Branch production" is performed according to the start of the special figure fluctuation production. In the "branch effect", as shown in FIG. 37A, a main character image G10 and a door image G14 are displayed on the display section 50a, and a scene in which the main character challenges a mission to open a door is displayed. After that, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "branch jackpot variation", as shown in FIG. , a "jackpot announcement effect" is performed in which a jackpot suggestion image G15 (here, a character image of "jackpot") is displayed to suggest that a jackpot game will be played. At this time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big win (for example, doubles of "5.5.5"). Also, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "branch/success loss variation", as shown in FIG. A continuation suggestion image G16 (here, a character image of "continue") is displayed to suggest that the "super RUSH mode" will continue. At this time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a failure (for example, "1, 2, 3"). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "branch/resurrection jackpot variation", "branch/resurrection/success loss variation", and "branch/resurrection/failure loss variation", as shown in FIG. Then, a scene in which the main character cannot open the door and fails in the mission is displayed on the display section 50a, and "resurrection effect C" is performed. It should be noted that the scene in which the mission fails is an effect suggesting the end of the “super RUSH mode”.

FIGS. 38(A) to 38(D) are diagrams showing how the "resurrection effect C" is performed. In the "resurrection effect C", the button operation effective period of the normal button 40 occurs, and as shown in FIG. A scene will be displayed where you will re-challenge the mission to open the door. After that, in response to the repeated operation of the normal button 40 during the valid period of button operation, or after the valid period of button operation has passed without the repeated operation of the normal button 40 during the valid period of button operation, the special figure 2 changes. If the pattern is "branch/revival jackpot variation", as shown in FIG. 38B, the display section 50a displays a scene in which the main character opens the door to succeed in the mission and a jackpot suggestion image G15. A “jackpot announcement performance” will be held. At this time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big win (for example, doubles of "5.5.5"). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "branch/resurrection/success loss variation", as shown in FIG. An image G16 is displayed on the display unit 50a. At this time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a failure (for example, "1, 2, 3"). Also, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "branch/resurrection/failure loss variation", as shown in FIG. A super RUSH end suggesting image G17 (here, a character image of "end") is displayed in 50a to suggest that the "super RUSH mode" is to end. At this time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a failure (for example, "1, 2, 3").

Next, "finish reach" and "resurrection effect B" will be specifically described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute "finishing reach" when the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern is "finishing jackpot fluctuation", "finishing / revival jackpot fluctuation", "finishing / revival / failure losing fluctuation". When the fluctuation pattern in FIG. 2 is "finish/resurrection big win fluctuation" and "finish/resurrection/failure loss fluctuation", "resurrection effect B" can be executed. "Decision reach" and "resurrection effect B" may be performed in the special figure variation effect after the 101st time in the "super RUSH mode", but they are not performed otherwise. In the "finish reach" and "resurrection effect B", the execution of the "jackpot game 3" or the end of the "super RUSH mode" is suggested.

FIGS. 39(A) to 39(E) are diagrams showing how the “finishing reach” is performed. When the "normal fluctuation" is started, as shown in FIG. 39(A), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display section 50a. After that, as shown in FIG. 39B, when the "reach" is established, the "finish reach" is performed.

In "Fix Reach", as shown in FIG. 39C, a main character image G10 and a strong enemy character image G18 are displayed on the display section 50a, and a battle scene between the main character and the strong enemy character is displayed. After that, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "decision jackpot variation", as shown in FIG. , EZ2, and EZ3 stop and display in a manner suggesting a big win (for example, 5, 5, 5). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "settlement/resurrection jackpot variation" and "settlement/resurrection/failure loss variation", the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character as shown in FIG. 39(E). The scene is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, reach failure of "5, 6, 5"). After that, the ``resurrection effect B'' is performed via the ``resurrection stirring effect B''.

In the "resurrection fan effect B", similar to the "resurrection fan effect A", translucent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right sides of the display unit 50a, respectively, and two button images G12a and G12b appear. fade-in display is performed in which the is moved toward the center (see FIG. 36(A)). After that, when the two button images G12a and G12b overlap at the center of the display section 50a (see FIG. 36(B)), the "resurrection effect B" is performed.

In the "resurrection effect B", the button operation valid period of the normal button 40 occurs, and similarly to the "resurrection effect A", the button image G12c that is not translucent is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the button image G12c is displayed below the button image G12c. , an operation prompting image G13 for prompting repeated pressing of the normal button 40 is displayed (see FIG. 36(C)). After that, in response to repeated hits of the normal button 40 during the valid period of button operation, or after the valid period of button operation has passed without the repeated operation of the normal button 40 during the valid period of button operation, the special figure 2 changes. If the pattern is "settlement/resurrection big hit change", the scene where the main character stands up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 suggest a big win (for example, "5.5.5 ]) and stop display (see FIG. 36(D)). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "settlement/resurrection/failure loss variation", a scene in which the main character cannot stand up is displayed on the display unit 50a, and the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 suggest loss. Stop display is performed in the form (for example, "5, 6, 5", which is a reach-losing number) (see FIG. 36(E)).

Next, the “result effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute "result effect" when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "result big hit variation" and "result loss variation". The "result effect" may be performed in the 100th special figure variation effect in the "RUSH mode", but it is not performed otherwise. In the "result effect", the end of the "RUSH mode" or the execution of the "jackpot game 3" is suggested.

FIGS. 40(A) to 40(C) are diagrams showing how the "result effect" is performed. "Result production" is performed according to the start of the special figure fluctuation production. In the "result effect", as shown in FIG. 40(A), a RUSH end suggesting image G19 (here, a character image of "RUSH end") is displayed on the display unit 50a to suggest that the "RUSH mode" ends. be. After that, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "result jackpot variation", as shown in FIG. Here, it changes to a character image of "congratulations"). At this time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big win (for example, doubles of "5.5.5"). On the other hand, when the special figure 2 variation pattern is "result loss variation", as shown in FIG. (For example, "1, 2, 3" loose eyes) to stop display, and the special figure fluctuation effect ends.

Next, the "diaphragm notice" will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the "line notice" in the "super RUSH mode". The "serif notice" includes an effect mode A in which the dialogue characters are displayed in white and an effect mode B in which the dialogue characters are displayed in red. The production control microcomputer 121 uses the dialogue advance notice selection table shown in FIG. You can choose to execute. In the second embodiment, the special figure 2 variation pattern is "confrontation / revival loss variation" rather than "confrontation loss variation", making it easier to select production mode B than production mode A, and production mode A The "dialogue notice" of the effect mode B is set so that the "resurrection effect A" is more likely to be performed than the "dialogue notice". It should be noted that the selection ratio of the dialogue announcement selection table shown in FIG. 41(A) can be changed as appropriate.

The effect control microcomputer 121 executes the "line notice" selected using the line notice selection table. Specifically, dialogue characters are displayed in a predetermined display area of the display section 50a during the "normal variation". Since the "dialogue notice" is a well-known presentation, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the “resurrection fanning effect A” will be described in detail. The "resurrection inciting effect A" may be performed even in the special figure variation effect of the "confrontation loss variation" in which the "resurrection effect A" is not performed after that. The production control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute the "resurrection agitation production A" in the special figure fluctuation production of the "confrontation loss fluctuation" by using the revival agitation production A selection table shown in FIG. 41(B). is. At the time of selection, the effect mode of the "line notice" selected using the line notice selection table shown in FIG. 41(A) is referred to. In the second embodiment, when the effect mode of the "dialogue notice" is the effect mode B, the execution of the "resurrection inciting effect A" is more likely to be selected than the effect mode A. Specifically, when the effect mode of the "line notice" is the effect mode A, 20% of the execution of the "resurrection agitation effect A" and 80% of non-execution are selected, and the effect of the "line notice" is selected. When the mode is the performance mode B, 60% of the execution of the ``resurrection stimulus performance A'' is selected, and 40% of non-execution is selected. ” at a rate of 10% and non-execution at a rate of 90%. Note that the selection ratio can be changed as appropriate.

The performance control microcomputer 121 executes the "revival stimulus performance A" at the execution ratio shown in the revival stimulus performance A selection table. This "revival stimulus effect A" is partially different from the "revival stimulus effect A" (see FIGS. 36(A) and 36(B)) when the "revival stimulus effect A" is performed thereafter.

FIGS. 42(A) and 42(B) are diagrams showing how the "resurrection fan effect A" is performed in the special figure variation effect of the "confrontation loss change". In the "Confrontation Reach", a scene in which the main character is defeated by the enemy character is displayed on the display unit 50a, and after the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (so-called Reach loss) (Fig. 35 ( E)), as shown in FIG. 42A, translucent button images G12a and G12b imitating the normal button 40 appear from the left and right sides of the display unit 50a, respectively, and two button images G12a and G12b are displayed in the center. A fade-in display moving toward is performed. After that, as shown in FIG. 42(B), a fade-out display is performed in which the two button images G12a and G12b do not overlap in the center of the display section 50a and move left and right from the center. At this time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a loss (for example, reach failure of "5, 6, 5").

Next, the relationship between the "confrontation reach" and the "super RUSH mode" and the relationship between the "finishing reach" and the "super RUSH mode" will be described. "Confrontation Reach" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode", but even if the main character is defeated by the enemy character in "Confrontation Reach" (production pattern EZ1, Even if EZ2 and EZ3 stop displaying in a manner suggesting a failure), the "super RUSH mode" will not end. On the other hand, "Decision Reach" may be performed in the 101st and later special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode", but when the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in "Decision Reach" (effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, If EZ3 stops displaying in a manner suggesting a loss), if the main character does not stand up in the subsequent "resurrection effect B" (if the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 do not change to a mode suggesting a big win), then "super RUSH mode” ends. In other words, the easiness of ending the time saving state differs between the case of losing after "confrontation reach" and the case of losing after "decision reach". In the second embodiment, the time-saving state is more likely to end in the case of losing after the "finishing reach" than in the case of losing after the "showdown reach". Therefore, it can be said that the "confrontation reach" has a relatively low sense of anxiety about the end of the time saving state, and it can be said that the "decision reach" has a relatively high sense of anxiety about the end of the time saving state.

Next, the relationship between the "revival effect A" and the "super RUSH mode" and the relationship between the "revival effect B" and the "super RUSH mode" will be described. "Resurrection effect A" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH mode", but even if the main character does not stand up in "Resurrection effect A" (effect patterns EZ1, EZ2 , EZ3 stops displaying in a state suggesting a loss), the "super RUSH mode" will not end. On the other hand, the "resurrection effect B" may be performed as a special figure variation effect after the 101st time in the "super RUSH mode". If the EZ3 stops displaying while suggesting a loss), the "super RUSH mode" ends. That is, the easiness of ending the time saving state differs between the case of losing after the "revival effect A" and the case of losing after the "revival effect B". In the second embodiment, the time-saving state is more likely to end when the game is lost after the "revival effect B" than when the game is lost after the "revival effect A". Therefore, it can be said that the “resurrection effect A” has a relatively low sense of anxiety about the end of the time saving state, and the “revival effect B” can be said to have a relatively high feeling of anxiety about the end of the time saving state.

Next, the relationship between the "resurrection stimulus effect A" and the "resurrection effect A" and the relationship between the "revival stimulus effect B" and the "revival effect B" will be described. "Resurrection Instigation Production A" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation productions in "Super RUSH Mode", but after "Resurrection Instigation Production A", "Resurrection Production A" will be performed. Sometimes it doesn't happen. On the other hand, "Resurrection Instigation Production B" may be performed in the 101st or later special figure fluctuation production in "Super RUSH Mode", but after "Resurrection Instigation Production B", "Resurrection Production B" will always be performed. will be That is, the probability of executing the ``resurrection performance A'' or the ``resurrection performance B'' after the ``revival stimulation performance A'' and the ``revival stimulation performance B'' are different. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the "revival stimulus effect B" than after the "revival stimulus effect A". Therefore, it can be said that the "resurrection instigation effect A" has a relatively low expectation for the "revival effect A", and the "revival instigation effect B" has a relatively high expectation for the "revival effect B".

Next, the relationship between the "line notice" and the "resurrection inciting effect A" will be described. The "line notice" may be performed when the main character is defeated by the enemy character in the subsequent "showdown reach" (when the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting failure). However, when the "dialogue notice" of the production mode A is performed, the "resurrection incitement production A" is rarely performed, and when the "dialogue notice" in the production mode B is performed, the "resurrection incitement" is performed. Performance A” is often performed. In other words, the probability of executing the "resurrection fanning effect A" is different between the case where the "dialogue notice" of the effect mode A is performed and the case where the "dialogue notice" of the effect mode B is performed. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the "line notice" in the effect mode B than after the "line notice" in the effect mode A. Therefore, it can be said that the "dialogue notice" of the production mode A has a relatively low expectation for the "resurrection inciting production A", and the "dialogue notice" in the production mode B has a relatively low expectation for the "revival inciting production A". can be said to be expensive.

Next, the relationship between the "jackpot announcement effect", the "branch effect", and the "resurrection effect C" will be described. The ``jackpot notification effect'' may be performed in the ``branch effect'' or the ``resurrection effect C'', but it is difficult to be performed in the ``branch effect'' and is likely to be performed in the ``revival effect C''. That is, the probability of performing the "jackpot announcement effect" differs between the "branch effect" and the "resurrection effect C". In the second embodiment, the execution probability of "revival effect C" is higher than that of "branch effect". Therefore, it can be said that the "branch effect" has a relatively low expectation for the "big win notification effect", and the "revival effect C" has a relatively high expectation for the "big win notification effect".

Next, the relationship between the "confrontation reach" and the "resurrection effect A" and the relationship between the "decision reach" and the "resurrection effect B" will be described. "Confrontation Reach" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode", but when the main character is defeated by the enemy character in "Confrontation Reach" (production patterns EZ1, EZ2, When EZ3 stops displaying in a manner suggesting a failure), there are times when "resurrection effect A" is performed after that and times when it is not performed. On the other hand, "Decision Reach" may be performed in a special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st time in "Super RUSH Mode", but even if the main character is defeated by a strong enemy character in "Decision Reach" (effect pattern EZ1, Even if EZ2 and EZ3 stop displaying in a manner suggesting a failure), the "resurrection effect B" is always performed after that. That is, the probability of execution of the "revival effect A" or the "revival effect B" is different between when the "confrontation reach" suggests a loss and when the "decision reach" indicates a loss. In the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher in the case where the "finishing reach" suggests a loss than in the case where the "confrontation reach" suggests a loss. Therefore, it can be said that the expectation for the "revival effect A" is relatively low in the "showdown reach", and the expectation for the "revival effect B" is relatively high in the "decision reach".

Next, the relationship between the "confrontation reach" and the "decision reach" will be described. "Confrontation Reach" may be performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode", but even if the result of the fall judgment is "Fall Winning", it will not be "Fall Not Winning". However, there may be a “confrontation reach”. On the other hand, "Decision Reach" is performed in the 101st and later special figure fluctuation effects in "Super RUSH Mode", but if the result of the fall judgment is "Fall Not Winning", "Decision Reach" is performed. However, only when the result of the drop determination is "fall winning", "finishing reach" is performed. In other words, when it is determined that it is "fall winning" in the fall judgment related to the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation production in "super RUSH mode", and after the 101st special figure fluctuation production in "super RUSH mode" The probability that the ready-to-win effect is executed differs between when it is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination. In the second embodiment, the 101st and subsequent times in the "super RUSH mode" than when it is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination related to the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode" The execution probability is higher when it is determined that it is "falling winning" in the falling determination related to the special figure fluctuation effect. Therefore, it can be said that the "confrontation reach" has a relatively low anxiety about switching to the normal probability state, and the "decision reach" has a relatively high anxiety about switching to the normal probability state.

<Effects of Second Embodiment>
The effects of the pachinko game machine PY1 described in the second embodiment will be described below.

(6) Even if the "confrontation reach" and "finish reach" suggest a loss, the "resurrection effect A" and "resurrection effect B", which are effects suggesting whether or not a jackpot game will be played, are performed afterwards. Since it may be performed, attention can be paid to the special figure variation effect until the end, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(7) When "Resurrection Effect A" and "Resurrection Effect B" are performed after "Confrontation Reach" and "Decision Reach" indicate a failure, "Resurrection Effect A" and "Resurrection Effect B" are performed. Since "resurrection agitation production A" and "resurrection agitation production B" are performed, which are productions suggesting that there is a possibility, "revival agitation production A" and "revival agitation production B" are performed. It is possible to suggest that the resurrection effect B" will be performed, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(8) Even if the "resurrection production A" is not performed after a loss is suggested in the "confrontation reach", the "resurrection agitation production" is a production that suggests that the "resurrection production A" may be performed. Since "A" may be performed, it is possible to make the player anticipate that the "resurrection effect A" will be performed by the "resurrection stimulus effect A", and thus it is possible to increase the interest in the game.

(9) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time-saving state, when the number of times of variable display of special figures is 1 to 100 times, “revival fan effect A” is performed, and the number of times of variable display of special figures In the period after the 101st time, "Resurrection Inciting Production B" is performed, and after that, "Resurrection Production A" or "Resurrection Production B", which is a production that suggests whether or not a jackpot game will be performed. Since the probability of execution is different, it is possible to change the expectation for the execution of the ``resurrection performance A'' or the ``resurrection performance B'' depending on the number of times the special symbols are variably displayed, and it is possible to increase the interest in the game. is.

(10) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time-saving state, if a loss is suggested by the “finishing reach”, which is a reach production, the “super RUSH mode” may end, so the “finishing reach” jackpot game It is possible to give a feeling of anticipation for the game and a feeling of anxiety about the end of the time saving state, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(11) In the "super RUSH mode", which is a time-saving state, when a loss is suggested in the reach production "confrontation reach" and when a loss is suggested in the reach production "final reach", " Since the probability that the "super RUSH mode" continues is different, it is possible to change the expectation for the continuation of the time-saving state depending on the type of ready-to-win effect, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(12) In a situation where it is easier to end the "super RUSH mode", which is a time-saving state, when a loss is suggested in the "finish reach" than when a loss is suggested in the "confrontation reach", ``Resurrection performance B'', which is a performance suggesting whether or not a big hit will be achieved after ``Resurrection agitation performance B'', is higher than the probability of performing ``Resurrection performance A'', which is a performance suggesting whether or not a big win will be achieved after ``Resurrection agitation performance A''. Since the probability of performing is higher, the ``resurrection performance B'' after the ``resurrection fanning performance B'' can provide many opportunities to avoid the end of the time-saving state, and the amusement of the game can be enhanced.

(13) In the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time-saving state, if the number of variable display of special figures is 1 to 100 times, and if a loss is suggested in “Resurrection production A”, Since the probability that the "super RUSH mode" will continue is different, depending on the number of variable display times of the special figure It is possible to change the expectation for the continuation of the time saving state, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(14) In the "super RUSH mode", which is a time-saving state, if the "resurrection performance B", which is a performance that suggests whether or not it is a big hit, suggests a loss, the "super RUSH mode" may end. The ``resurrection performance B'' can give a feeling of expectation for the big winning game and a feeling of anxiety about the end of the time-saving state, and can enhance the interest of the game.

(15) A continuation suggestion image G16 that suggests continuation of the “super RUSH mode” is displayed in the special figure variation production performed when the number of variable display of the special figure in the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time saving state, is the 100th time. when the super RUSH end suggestion image G17 suggesting the end of the "super RUSH mode" is displayed, and when the big win suggestion image G15 suggesting the execution of the "big win game 3" is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to attract attention to the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode" and to increase the interest in the game.

(16) In the special figure variation effect that is performed when the number of variable display of special figures in the time saving state “super RUSH mode” is the 100th time, the end of “super RUSH mode” was suggested in the “branch effect” Later, in the "resurrection effect C", when the continuation suggestion image G16 suggesting the continuation of the "super RUSH mode" is displayed, and when the big win suggestion image G15 suggesting the execution of the "big win game 3" is displayed. , the ``resurrection performance C'' makes it possible to expect both the continuation of the time-saving state and the performance of the big winning game, and to increase the interest in the game.

(17) In the special figure fluctuation effect that is performed when the number of variable display of special figures in the time saving state “super RUSH mode” is the 100th time, the end of “super RUSH mode” was suggested in the “branch effect” After that, in the ``resurrection effect C'', when a big win suggestive image G15 suggesting the execution of the ``big win game 3'' is displayed, and in the ``branch effect'' the end of the ``super RUSH mode'' is not suggested and the big win suggestive image is displayed. Since there is a time when G15 is displayed, both the ``branch performance'' and the ``resurrection performance C'' make it possible to make the player expect that a big winning game will be performed, and to increase the interest of the game. .

(18) In the special figure fluctuation effect that is performed when the number of variable display of the special figure in the "super RUSH mode", which is a time saving state, is the 100th time, "jackpot game 3" in "revival effect C" rather than "branch effect" is likely to be displayed, even if the big win suggestion image G15 is not displayed in the "branch effect", it is possible to prevent the expectation of the big win game from being lowered. It is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(19) In the high-probability state "super RUSH mode", when the number of variable display of the special figure is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination performed in the period from 1 to 100 times, When the number of times of variable display of the special figure is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination performed in the period after the 101st time, the reach production "confrontation reach" and "finish reach" are executed. Since the probability of winning is different, depending on the number of times of variable display of the special figure, it is possible to change the anxiety about switching to the normal probability state when the ready-to-win effect is performed, and it is possible to increase the interest of the game. .

<Third Embodiment>
The third embodiment will be described below. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko game machine PY1 of the above-described basic embodiment, first embodiment and second embodiment is also applied to the third embodiment.

First, the pending icon HA that can be displayed by the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 puts a holding icon HA suggesting the special figure 2 holding number in a holding icon display area in the holding production when "super RUSH mode", "RUSH mode", and "revenge mode" are set. 50d, and in the pending effect when the "normal effect mode" is set, the pending icon HA suggesting the special figure 1 pending number can be displayed in the pending icon display area 50d (Fig. 20 ( A)). As shown in FIG. 43(D), the reserved icons HA include sun icons A to C (corresponding to the first reserved symbols), umbrella icons A to B (corresponding to the second reserved symbols), and cloud icons. There are six types of pending icons HA.

Sun icons AC, "super RUSH mode", "RUSH mode" is a pending icon HA suggesting the number of special figure 2 pending displayed, normally the sun icon A is displayed. The sun icon A is displayed in yellow, the sun icon B is displayed in red, and the sun icon C is displayed in rainbow colors. Umbrella icons A to B are reserved icons HA displayed in the "revenge mode", and the umbrella icon A is normally displayed. Umbrella icon A is displayed in blue, and umbrella icon B is displayed in rainbow color. Further, the cloud icon is a pending icon HA suggesting the special figure 1 pending number displayed in the "normal production mode", and is displayed in white.

The effect RAM 124 is provided with a start winning command storage unit (not shown) for storing the start winning command determined by the game control microcomputer 101, and the effect control microcomputer 121 is stored in the start winning command storage unit. A pending icon HA can be displayed based on the start winning command. In addition, the starting winning command stored in the starting winning command storage unit is erased by the variable display of the special figure based on the special figure 2 reservation that the starting winning command is determined.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 43 to 48, effects that can be executed by the effect control microcomputer 121 in accordance with the start winning command determined by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute the following productions in "super RUSH mode", "RUSH mode", and "revenge mode".

O. RUSH hold change effect In the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode", it is a look-ahead effect in which the sun icon B and the sun icon C are displayed as the hold icon HA suggesting the special figure 2 hold number. Since it is easier to play when the result of the big win prefetch determination is ``big win'' than when it is ``losing'', it functions as a performance suggesting that the possibility of playing the big win game is high. In addition, the results of the special figure variation pattern look-ahead determination are "Confrontation jackpot variation", "Confrontation/revival jackpot variation", "Confrontation loss variation", "Confrontation/resurrection loss variation", "Conclusion jackpot variation", "Conclusion/revival jackpot variation" Since it may be performed in the case of "variation", "settlement / revival / failure loss variation", as a production that suggests that the reach production "confrontation reach" and "finish reach" may be performed also works.

P. Revenge Suspension Change Effect In the “revenge mode”, this is a pre-reading effect in which an umbrella icon B is displayed as a suspension icon HA suggesting the number of special figures 2 on hold. Since it is easier to play when the result of the big win prefetch determination is ``big win'' than when it is ``losing'', it functions as a performance suggesting that the possibility of playing the big win game is high.

Q. Normal countdown production This is a production that may be performed in the 97th to 99th special figure fluctuation production in "Super RUSH mode", and counts down the number of variable display of special figures until the "branch production" is performed. It is a performance. Since the "branching effect" is performed after that, it functions as an effect suggesting that the "branching effect" will be performed.

R. Special countdown production This is a production that may be performed in the 97th to 99th special figure fluctuation production in “Super RUSH mode”, and it is a production mode different from “countdown production”. It is a look-ahead effect that counts down the number of variable displays in the figure. Since the "branching effect" is performed after that, it functions as an effect suggesting that the "branching effect" will be performed. In addition, since it may be carried out when the result of the big win look-ahead determination is "big win", it also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a possibility that a big win game will be played. In addition, since it is performed when the ``jackpot notification effect'' is performed in the ``branch effect'' or the ``resurrection effect C'', it also functions as an effect suggesting that the ``jackpot notification effect'' is performed.

Next, various effects executed in the "super RUSH mode", "RUSH mode", and "revenge mode" will be specifically described. First, the “RUSH suspension change effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the "RUSH pending change effect" when the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode" are set. In the "RUSH pending change effect", the possibility of executing the "jackpot game 3" is suggested.

Effect control microcomputer 121, when the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode" are set, the pending icon selection table A shown in FIG. 43(A), the pending icon selection table B shown in FIG. Alternatively, using the pending icon selection table C shown in FIG. 43(C), it is possible to determine the type of pending icon HA suggesting the special figure 2 pending number.

The pending icon selection table A is used when the number of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" is set is 1 to 90 times, and the pending icon selection table B is " If the number of variable display of special figures since "Super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" is set is 91st to 100th, or "Super RUSH mode" is set. The number of times after the 101st time and the start prize command of "command 001", "command 006", "command 007", "command 016" is decided is determined), and the reserved icon selection table C is used for the 101st variable display of the special figure since the "super RUSH mode" was set, "command 001", Start of "command 006", "command 007", "command 016" until the winning command is determined Used when In addition, in the third embodiment, the type of the hold icon HA for the special figure 2 hold for which the start winning command of "command 001", "command 006", "command 007", and "command 016" is determined is set to the hold icon selection The table C is used for selection, but the reserved icon selection table B may be used for selection.

Since the reserved icon selection table A is used for the first to 90th times of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" is set, the game control microcomputer 101 uses the "command 001" to "Command 003", "Command 011", "Command 012", "Command 021", and "Command 022" are determined (see FIG. 31A). Therefore, in the pending icon selection table A, the type of pending icon HA is selected based on these seven types of start winning commands. Specifically, when the starting winning commands are "command 001", "command 002", and "command 003", the sun icon A is 50%, the sun icon B is 30%, and the sun icon C is 20%. Selected by percentage. Further, when the starting winning commands are "command 011" and "command 012", the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 60%, the sun icon B at 40%, and the sun icon C is not selected. Further, when the start winning commands are "command 021" and "command 022", the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 90%, the sun icon B at a rate of 10%, and the sun icon C is not selected. Therefore, in the order of sun icon A<sun icon B<sun icon C, the degree of expectation for a big win increases.

In the reserved icon selection table B, only the sun icon A is selected regardless of the type of the start winning command. Here, the reason why only the sun icon A is selected in the reserved icon selection table B will be described. In the pending icon selection table B, when the number of variable display of the special figure after "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" is set is 91 times to 100 times, or when "super RUSH mode" is set The number of variable display of special figures from 101st or later and the start winning command of "command 001", "command 006", "command 007", "command 016" is decided It is used in the case after it is determined to be "falling winning" in the judgment or fall prefetch judgment), but for example, when the number of variable display of special figures is the 98th, the number of special figures 2 pending is "4" In the case of , two special figures 2 pending are not digested by the 100th special figure variable display. In other words, these two special figure 2 reserves may be digested in "revenge mode" (see FIGS. 32(C) and 32(D)). Also, for example, if the number of special figures 2 pending is "4" when it is determined that the number of times the variable display of the special figures is "fall winning" in the fall determination after the 101st time, these four special figures 2 pending is digested in 'revenge mode' (see FIG. 32(A)). Although the details will be described later, in the "revenge mode", a "revenge suspension change effect" using the suspension icon HA may be performed. In order to ensure that this "revenge pending change effect" is always performed under the same circumstances, the sun icon A will be displayed for all special figures 2 pending that may be digested in "revenge mode" It's becoming In the third embodiment, the sun icon A is always selected by the reserved icon selection table B, but if the sun icon A is more likely to be selected than the reserved icon selection table A or the reserved icon selection table C, the sun Icons B and C may be selected.

Since the reserved icon selection table C is used after the 101st variable display of special symbols since the "super RUSH mode" was set, the game control microcomputer 101 selects "command 001", "command 006". , "Command 007", "Command 016", "Command 021" and "Command 022" are determined (see FIG. 31B). Therefore, in the pending icon selection table C, the type of pending icon HA is selected based on these six types of start winning commands. Specifically, when the starting winning command is "command 001", the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 70%, the sun icon B at 20%, and the sun icon C at 10%. Further, when the starting winning commands are "Command 006", "Command 007", and "Command 016", the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 80%, the sun icon B at 20%, and the sun icon C is Not selected. Further, when the start winning commands are "command 021" and "command 022", the sun icon A is selected at a rate of 90%, the sun icon B at a rate of 10%, and the sun icon C is not selected. Therefore, in the order of sun icon A<sun icon B<sun icon C, the degree of expectation for a big win increases. It should be noted that the reserved icon selection table C makes it more difficult for the sun icon B and the sun icon C to be selected than in the reserved icon selection table A.

Here, the reason why the reserved icon selection table C makes it more difficult for the sun icons B and C to be selected than the reserved icon selection table A will be described. Suspended icon selection table A is used when the number of variable display of special figures after "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" is set is 1 to 90 times, but "super RUSH mode" or " RUSH mode" is set, the number of times the variable display of the special figure is 1st to 90th, regardless of the result of the fall judgment, "Confrontation Reach" is performed (see FIG. 30 (A)), even if the fall Even if it is judged to be "fall winning" and the "showdown reach" is lost, the "super RUSH mode" continues (see FIG. 32(C)). On the other hand, the pending icon selection table C is used when the number of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" is set is the 101st or later. After the 101st variable display in the figure, the "finish reach" is performed only when the jackpot judgment is judged to be a "jackpot" and when the fall judgment is judged to be a "fall win" ( See FIG. 30(C)). In other words, when the "finishing reach" is performed, there are two options: either a big hit and a shift to the big hit production mode or a loss and a shift to the "revenge mode" (Fig. 32 (A), Fig. 32(B)). Therefore, after the "super RUSH mode" is set, the number of variable display of the special figure is 101 or later, even if it is determined to be a "jackpot" in the jackpot look-ahead determination, the selection of the sun icon B and the sun icon C is restricted to make it difficult to determine whether the game is a big win and shifts to a big win production mode or a loss and shifts to a "revenge mode" after the "finishing reach".

It should be noted that the selection rate for selecting the type of pending icon HA can be changed as appropriate.

Suspension icon display area 50d where "RUSH suspension change effect" is performed is composed of the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2, the third display area 50d3 and the fourth display area 50d4, depending on the special figure 2 suspension number As a result, a hold icon HA is displayed in each of the display areas 50d1, 50d2, 50d3 and 50d4. When the special figure 2 reservation number is "1", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, and when the special figure 2 reservation number is "2", the first display area 50d1 and the second display A pending icon HA is displayed in the area 50d2, and when the special figure 2 pending number is "3", the pending icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2 and the third display area 50d3. , When the special figure 2 pending number is "4", the pending icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1, the second display area 50d2, the third display area 50d3 and the fourth display area 50d4. In addition, on the right side of the pending icon display area 50d, the icon display area 50e (see FIG. 20 (A)) is provided, and in response to the start of the special figure fluctuation effect, it is displayed in the first display area 50d1. The pending icon HA is displayed in the icon display area 50e as the icon TA.

FIG. 44(A) is displayed when the game ball enters the second starting port 12 when the number of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" is set is 1st to 90th. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing types of pending icons HA. When the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "1", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. Since the type of this pending icon HA is selected by the pending icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "2", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "3", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "4", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table A, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. In this way, when the number of variable display of special symbols after the "super RUSH mode" is set is 1st to 90th, the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C are displayed as the pending icon HA. Anything is displayed. In other words, since the upper limit of the number of special figures 2 pending is "4", the maximum number of times of variable display of special figures is 2 to special figures 2 pending corresponding to the 2nd to 94th times, as the pending icon HA, the sun Any one of icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C will be displayed.

In FIG. 44(B), when the number of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" is set is 91 times to 100 times, the game ball wins the second start port 12 It is a figure which shows the kind of pending|holding icon HA displayed when it carries out. When the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "1", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. The type of this pending icon HA is selected by the pending icon selection table B. FIG. As described above, only the sun icon A is selected in the reserved icon selection table B, so the sun icon A is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "2", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "3", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "4", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. Thus, when the number of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" is set is the 91st to 100th, only the sun icon A is displayed as the pending icon HA. In other words, since the upper limit of the number of special figures 2 pending is "4", the maximum number of times of variable display of special figures is 92nd to 104th to special figures 2 pending, as the pending icon HA, the sun Only icon A will be displayed.

Figure 44 (C), from the 101st time the number of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" is set, "command 001", "command 006", "command 007", "command 016" It is a figure which shows the kind of pending|holding icon HA displayed when a game ball wins the 2nd starting opening|mouth 12 until a starting prize-winning command is determined. When the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "1", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the first display area 50d1. Since the type of this pending icon HA is selected by the pending icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "2", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d2. Since the type of this pending icon HA is selected by the pending icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "3", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "4", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table C, any one of the sun icon A, sun icon B and sun icon C is displayed. In this way, from the 101st time the number of variable display of the special figure after the "super RUSH mode" is set, the start prize command of "command 001", "command 006", "command 007", "command 016" Until it is determined, any of the sun icon A, the sun icon B, and the sun icon C is displayed as the pending icon HA. In other words, at the maximum, the number of times of variable display of the special figure is determined to be "jackpot" in the jackpot determination from the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 102nd time, or it is determined to be "fall winning" in the fall determination. Any one of the sun icon A, the sun icon B and the sun icon C will be displayed as the pending icon HA until the special figure 2 pending.

FIG. 44(D) shows that the number of variable display of the special figure since the "super RUSH mode" was set is 101 times or later and "command 001", "command 006", "command 007", and "command 016" It is a figure which shows the kind of pending|holding icon HA displayed when a game ball wins the 2nd starting opening|mouth 12 in the case after starting winning a prize command was determined. Here, it is assumed that the current special figure 2 pending number is "1" and the sun icon A is displayed in the first display area 50d1. When the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "2", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the second display area 50d3. The type of this pending icon HA is selected by the pending icon selection table B. FIG. As described above, only the sun icon A is selected in the reserved icon selection table B, so the sun icon A is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "3", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the third display area 50d3. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. After that, when the game ball wins the second starting port 12 and the special figure 2 reservation number becomes "4", the reservation icon HA is displayed in the fourth display area 50d4. Since the type of this pending icon HA is also selected by the pending icon selection table B, the sun icon A is displayed. In this way, the number of times of variable display of special figures since "super RUSH mode" is set is 101 or later and "command 001", "command 006", "command 007", "command 016" start winning command is determined, only the sun icon A is displayed as the pending icon HA. In other words, since the upper limit of the number of special figures 2 reserved is "4", it is determined that it is a "jackpot" in the jackpot judgment or "fall winning" in the fall judgment at the maximum. Only the sun icon A will be displayed as the reservation icon HA for the four special figure 2 reservations after the 2 reservation.

Next, the “revenge pending change effect” will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the "revenge pending change effect" by using the pending icon HA suggesting the special figure 2 pending number when the "revenge mode" is set. In the "revenge pending change effect", the execution of the "jackpot game 3" is suggested.

The performance control microcomputer 121, when the "revenge mode" is set, sets the pending icon HA suggesting the special figure 2 pending number to be the same as when the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode" are set. It can be displayed in the pending icon display area 50d (see FIG. 20(A)).

In addition, the effect control microcomputer 121, in response to the transition from the "super RUSH mode" or the "RUSH mode" to the "revenge mode", the sun icon displayed in the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4 A can be changed to umbrella icon A or umbrella icon B. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether to change the sun icon A to the umbrella icon A or the umbrella icon B using the umbrella icon selection table shown in FIG. Upon selection, the starting winning command stored in the starting winning command storage unit is referred to. Specifically, when the start winning command that causes the sun icon A to be displayed is "command 017" (when the result of the jackpot prediction determination is "loss"), the umbrella icon A is 100%. , and if it is "command 008" (when the result of the big win look-ahead determination is "big win"), the umbrella icon A is selected at a rate of 30% and the umbrella icon B is selected at a rate of 70%. In addition, in the third embodiment, when the transition to "revenge mode" occurs due to the end of the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time saving state (equivalent to the first end condition), and the fall judgment is "fall winning" (corresponding to the second termination condition), the probability of changing the sun icon A to the umbrella icon B is the same as in the case of shifting to the “revenge mode”, but the probability may be different. Also, the selection ratio can be changed as appropriate.

46(A) and 46(B) are diagrams showing the pending icon HA when shifting to the "revenge mode". The variable display of the final special figure in "Super RUSH mode" or "RUSH mode" (variable display of the 100th special figure or variable display of the special figure determined to be "fall winning" in the fall judgment) ends Then, it shifts to "revenge mode" which is a non-time saving state. At this time, assuming that the sun icon A is displayed in the first display area 50d1 to the fourth display area 50d4 as shown in FIG. 46A, if changing to the umbrella icon A is selected, , the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon A, while the sun icon A is changed to the umbrella icon B when changing to the umbrella icon B is selected. FIG. 46B is a diagram showing a case where only the sun icon A displayed in the third display area 50d3 is selected to be changed to the umbrella icon B. FIG.

Next, the "normal countdown effect" and the "special countdown effect" will be specifically described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute "normal countdown production" or "special countdown production" in the 97th to 99th special figure fluctuation production in the "super RUSH mode" regardless of the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether to execute the "normal countdown effect" or the "special countdown effect" by using the countdown selection table shown in FIG. 45(B). When selecting, the result of the prefetch determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th variable display of the special figure is referred to. In the third embodiment, it is possible to select "special countdown effect" only when the result of the big hit prediction judgment for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th variable display of the special figure is "big hit". It's becoming Specifically, when the starting winning command is "command 004", the "normal countdown effect" is selected at a rate of 70%, and the "special countdown effect" is selected at a rate of 30%. Further, when the starting winning command is "command 005", "normal countdown effect" is selected at a rate of 30%, and "special countdown effect" is selected at a rate of 70%. In addition, when the starting winning command is "command 013", "command 014", or "command 015", "normal countdown effect" is selected at a rate of 100%. Also, at the start of the 97th special figure fluctuation effect, if the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th variable display of the special figure does not occur, the "normal countdown effect" at a rate of 100% select. Note that the selection ratio of the countdown selection table shown in FIG. 45(B) can be changed as appropriate.

FIGS. 47A to 47C are diagrams showing how the "normal countdown effect" is performed. When the "normal variation" is started in the 97th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", as shown in FIG. At the same time, a count image G21a (numeral image of "3") is displayed in the center of the display section 50a, suggesting the number of variable display times of special symbols up to the "branch effect". After that, when the "normal variation" is started in the 98th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", as shown in FIG. Along with the display, a count image G21b (numeral image of "2") is displayed in the center of the display section 50a. After that, when the "normal variation" is started in the 99th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", as shown in FIG. Along with the display, a count image G21c (numeral image of "1") is displayed in the center of the display section 50a. After that, a "branch effect" is performed according to the start of the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode" (see FIG. 37(A)). In the "branch effect" or the "resurrection effect C" after the "branch effect", when the "jackpot announcement effect" in which the big win suggestion image G15 is displayed is performed (see FIGS. 37(B) and 38(B)). ), and when the "jackpot announcement effect" is not performed (see FIGS. 37(C), 38(C), and 38(D)).

FIGS. 48(A) to 48(C) are diagrams showing how the "special countdown effect" is performed. When the "normal variation" is started in the 97th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", as shown in FIG. At the same time, a count image G21a and a pseudo-jackpot suggestion image G15g, which is a translucent image of the jackpot suggestion image G15, are displayed in the center of the display section 50a. After that, when the "normal variation" is started in the 98th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", as shown in FIG. Along with the display, a count image G21b and a pseudo-jackpot suggestion image G15g are displayed in the center of the display section 50a. After that, when the "normal variation" is started in the 99th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode", as shown in FIG. Along with the display, a count image G21c and a pseudo-jackpot suggestion image G15g are displayed in the center of the display section 50a. After that, a "branch effect" is performed according to the start of the 100th special figure variation effect in the "super RUSH mode" (see FIG. 37(A)). In the "branch effect" or the "revival effect C" after the "branch effect", the "jackpot announcement effect" in which the big win suggestion image G15 is displayed is always performed (see FIGS. 37(B) and 38(B)). . Therefore, the display of the pseudo-big-win suggestive image G15g functions as an effect suggesting that the "jackpot announcement effect" in which the big-win suggestive image G15 is displayed will be performed.

Next, the relationship between the "RUSH pending change effect" and the "revenge pending change effect" will be described. In the "RUSH pending change effect", the sun icon B or the sun icon C may be displayed regardless of whether the result of the big win look-ahead determination is "big win" or "losing" (see FIG. 45). On the other hand, in the "revenge pending change effect", the umbrella icon B is displayed only when the result of the big win look-ahead determination is "big win". In other words, the degree of expectation for a big hit differs between the "RUSH pending change effect" and the "revenge pending change effect". In the third embodiment, the degree of expectation for a big hit is higher in the "revenge pending change effect" than in the "RUSH pending change effect". Therefore, it can be said that the "RUSH pending change effect" has a relatively low expectation for the performance of the big win game, and the "revenge pending change effect" has a relatively high expectation for the performance of the big win game.

Next, "Revenge pending change production" in "Revenge mode" shifted by the end of the 100th special figure fluctuation production in "Super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode", and Fall judgment in "Super RUSH mode" The relationship between the "revenge pending change effect" in the "revenge mode" shifted by being determined to be "fall winning" will be described. In both the former "revenge mode" and the latter "revenge mode", the probability that the umbrella icon B is displayed in the "revenge pending change effect" is the same. Therefore, it can be said that the expectation for the "revenge pending change effect" is the same regardless of the situation in which the game shifts to the "revenge mode".

Next, the relationship between the "normal countdown effect", the "special countdown effect" and the "jackpot announcement effect" will be described. "Normal countdown effect" and "special countdown effect" may be performed before the start of "branch effect". ”, there are times when the ``jackpot announcement effect'' is performed and when it is not performed, while when the ``special countdown effect'' is performed, the ``jackpot announcement effect'' is performed in the ``branch effect'' or the ``resurrection effect C''. is always done. That is, the probability that the "jackpot notification effect" will be executed after the "normal countdown effect" is different from the case where the "special countdown effect" is performed. In the third embodiment, the execution probability is higher after the "special countdown effect" than after the "normal countdown effect". Therefore, it can be said that the "normal countdown effect" has relatively low expectations for the "big win announcement effect", and the "special countdown effect" has relatively high expectations for the "big win announcement effect".

Next, "RUSH hold change effect" performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH hold" performed in the 101st and later special figure fluctuation effects in "super RUSH mode" I will explain the relationship between "change performance". "RUSH pending change effect" may be performed based on the result of the jackpot look-ahead judgment or the fall look-ahead judgment determined to be "fall winning", but the 1st to 100th times in the "super RUSH mode" In the special figure fluctuation production, the "RUSH pending change production" is performed without the fall look-ahead judgment being performed, while in the special figure fluctuation production after the 101st time in the "super RUSH mode", the fall look-ahead judgment is " When it is determined that it is "fall winning", "RUSH suspension change effect" is performed. In other words, the probability that the "RUSH pending change production" is performed based on the result of the fall lookahead judgment in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation production in "super RUSH mode", and the special figure after the 101st time in "super RUSH mode" It is different from the probability that the "RUSH suspension change effect" is performed based on the result of the fall lookahead determination in the variable effect. In the third embodiment, in the 101st and later special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode" than in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode", the result of the fall look-ahead determination The execution probability of "RUSH pending change effect" based on is high. Therefore, the "RUSH pending change effect" performed in the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode" is relatively low. However, the "RUSH pending change effect" performed in the special figure fluctuation effect after the 101st time in the "super RUSH mode" has a relatively high sense of anxiety about being judged to be "fall winning" in the fall judgment. I can say

<Effects of the third embodiment>
The effects of the pachinko game machine PY1 described in the third embodiment will be described below.

(20) There is a possibility that a jackpot game will be played after shifting to the non-time-saving state “revenge mode” for the special figure 2 hold that occurred in the time-saving state “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode”. Since the ``revenge pending change effect'', which is a effect suggesting a high price, may be performed, even if it shifts to the ``revenge mode'', it is possible to give a sense of expectation to the ``revenge pending change effect'', and the interest of the game. can be increased.

(21) If the special figure 2 hold that occurred in the time saving state “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode” is digested after transitioning to the non-time saving state “revenge mode”, the special figure 2 hold On the other hand, since the ``RUSH pending change performance'' is not performed, the ``revenge mode'' can always be performed under the same conditions, and the performance effect of the ``revenge mode'' can be prevented from deteriorating.

(22) Since the sun icon B or the sun icon C is displayed in the "RUSH pending change effect", and the umbrella icon B is displayed in the "revenge pending change effect", "RUSH pending change effect" and "revenge pending change effect" , it is possible to make the game more interesting.

(23) In the "RUSH pending change effect", the umbrella icon B that is displayed in the "revenge pending change effect" is not displayed, so the "revenge pending change effect" can be positioned as a special effect, increasing the interest of the game. Is possible.

(24) When the “Revenge pending change effect” is performed than when the “RUSH pending change effect” is performed, the expectation for the big hit is higher, so the “Revenge pending change effect” is regarded as a valuable effect. It can be positioned, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

(25) When the variable display of the 100th special figure in the time-saving state “super RUSH mode” and “RUSH mode” ends and it becomes a non-time-saving state, and the time-saving state “super RUSH mode” falls Since the execution probability of "Revenge pending change effect" in "Revenge mode" is the same as when it is determined to be "Falling winning" in the judgment and it becomes a non-time saving state, the degree of expectation for "Revenge pending change effect" It is possible to prevent the change and increase the interest of the game.

(26) When the "super RUSH mode", which is a time-saving state, is about to end, a "normal countdown effect" or a "special countdown effect" is performed. It is possible to make the end timing of the "mode" easier to understand, and to enhance the interest of the game.

(27) When the jackpot suggestion image G15 that suggests the execution of the “jackpot game 3” is displayed in the 100th special figure variation effect that the “super RUSH mode”, which is a time saving state, may end, “special Since the "countdown effect" may be performed, the "special countdown effect" can make the players expect that the "jackpot game 3" will be performed, and it is possible to increase the amusement of the game.

(28) In the high probability state "super RUSH mode", when the number of times of variable display of special figures switches to the normal probability state by the fall judgment performed in the period of 1 to 100 times, and when the variable display of special figures is switched Since the probability of "RUSH pending change effect" based on the fall look-ahead judgment is different, depending on the number of times of variable display of the special figure, It is possible to change the feeling of uneasiness about switching to the normal probability state when the "RUSH suspension change effect" is performed, and to increase the interest of the game.

(29) In the period after the 101st time, the number of variable displays of special figures in the high probability state "super RUSH mode" is determined to be "jackpot" in the jackpot look-ahead determination, "finish reach" Since the execution of the "RUSH pending change performance" suggesting execution is restricted, the "RUSH pending change performance" shifts to a jackpot performance mode in which a jackpot game is executed or shifts to a "revenge mode" which is a normal probability state. It is possible to make it difficult to understand whether to play or not, and to enhance the interest of the game.

<Modified Examples of Basic Embodiment, First Embodiment, Second Embodiment, and Third Embodiment>
Hereinafter, modified examples of the pachinko game machine PY1 described in the basic embodiment, first embodiment, second embodiment and third embodiment will be described. 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 first embodiment, the number of times of variable display of special figures in "super RUSH mode" is 1st to 99th, even if it is determined that it is "fall winning" in the fall determination, the time saving state continues However, the time saving state may be terminated. In this case, the number of times of variable display of the special figure is the first to 99 times, the special figure 2 variation pattern is determined using the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C as shown in FIG. 30 (C), and the fall determination , it is preferable to perform a ready-to-win effect.

Also, in the first embodiment, as the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table used in the "super RUSH mode", the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table A for when the number of variable display of the special figure is 1st to 99th And, the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table B for when the number of variable display of the special figure is the 100th time, and the special figure 2 variation pattern determination table C for when the number of variable display of the special figure is 101st or later , are used, but one type or four or more types may be used.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the high probability state is switched to the normal probability state when it is determined that the fall is "winning" in the fall determination. You may make it switch to . In this case, it is preferable to shorten the time of the jackpot game. For example, the round game in the jackpot game is composed of two times, and the first big winning port 14 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 seconds per round game. You can do so.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the production contents are changed so that the ``confrontation reach'' is the production content of a battle between the main character and the enemy character, and the production content of the ``decision reach'' is the production content of a battle between the main character and the strong enemy character. However, the contents of the presentation may be the same for the “confrontation reach” and the “decision reach”.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the "revival effect A" and the "revival effect B" have the same effect contents using the normal button 40. The contents of the performance may be changed. For example, the "resurrection effect A" may have effect contents using the normal button 40, and the "resurrection effect B" may have effect contents using the special button 41, so that the effect contents may be different.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the same effect content of fade-in display of the button images G12a and G12b is used for the "resurrection stimulus effect A" and the "revival stimulus effect B". The contents of the production may be different between the "resurrection inciting production B". For example, in the "resurrection fan effect A", the effect contents are such that the button images G12a and G12b fade in, and in the "revival fan effect B", only the button image G12a is fade-in displayed. You can let

In addition, in the second embodiment, when the "resurrection instigation production B" is performed, the "resurrection production B" is always performed. Effect B" may be prevented from being performed. In this case, it is preferable to set the probability that the ``resurrection performance B'' is performed after the ``revival stimulation performance B'' is higher than the probability that the ``resurrection performance A'' is performed after the ``revival stimulation performance A''.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the time-saving state is more likely to end in the case of losing after the "finishing reach" than when losing after the "showdown reach", but after the "finishing reach" The time-saving state may be terminated more easily in the case of losing after the “confrontation reach” than in the case of losing.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the time saving state is more likely to be ended in the case of losing after the "revival production B" than in the case of losing after the "revival production A". The time-saving state may be terminated more easily in the case of failure after the "resurrection effect A" than in the case of failure after the "B".

Further, in the second embodiment, the execution probability is higher when the "resurrection effect B" is performed after the "resurrection stimulus effect B" than when the "revival effect A" is performed after the "revival stimulus effect A". However, the execution probability is set so that the probability of performing "Resurrection effect A" after "Resurrection effect A" is higher than the probability of "Resurrection effect B" being performed after "Resurrection effect B". can be

In addition, in the second embodiment, there are times when the execution of the "jackpot game 3" is suggested and when it is not suggested in the "revival effect A" or the "revival effect B". ' or 'resurrection effect B', execution of 'jackpot game 3' may always be suggested. In this case, when "resurrection effect A" or "resurrection effect B" is performed, "jackpot game 3" is always performed. It is possible to suggest execution and increase interest in the game.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the execution of the "revival stimulus effect A" is selected based on the effect mode of the "line notice", but the execution of the "revival stimulus effect A" is executed based on other conditions. may be selected. For example, only the special figure 2 fluctuation pattern may be referred to and the execution of "revival fan effect A" may be selected, or "revival fan effect A" may be selected by referring to notice effects other than "line notice". Execution may be selected.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the probability that the "resurrection effect B" is performed after the "finish reach" suggests a loss is higher than the probability that the "resurrection effect A" is performed after the "confrontation reach" suggests a loss. The probability of execution is higher, but after the loss is suggested in the "confrontation reach" than the probability that the "revival production B" is performed after the loss is suggested in the "finish reach", the "revival production A ' is performed, the execution probability may be higher.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the "decision reach" is performed only when it is determined that the drop determination is "fall win". The “finishing reach” may be performed even when the

In addition, in the second embodiment, when it is determined that the fall determination is "fall winning", the probability of "showdown reach" is performed when it is determined that the fall determination is "fall winning". The probability of "finish reach" is higher than the probability of execution, but the probability of "finish reach" being performed when it is determined that it is "fall winning" in the fall judgment is " The execution probability may be higher than the probability of performing "Confrontation Reach" when it is determined that "fall winning".

In addition, in the third embodiment, the "RUSH pending change effect" in the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode" is a pre-reading effect using the pending icon HA, but it may be a pre-reading effect that does not use the pending icon HA. . For example, a strong enemy character may be displayed on the display section 50a. Further, the "revenge pending change effect" in the "revenge mode" is a pre-read effect using the suspend icon HA, but it may be a pre-read effect without using the suspend icon HA. For example, the main character may be displayed on the display section 50a.

Further, in the third embodiment, the sun icon B and the sun icon C are displayed in the "RUSH pending change effect", the umbrella icon B is displayed in the "revenge pending change effect", and the "RUSH pending change effect" is displayed. Although the presentation mode is different for the "revenge pending change presentation", the same presentation mode may be used. For example, the umbrella icon B may be displayed in both the "RUSH pending change effect" and the "revenge pending change effect".

Also, in the third embodiment, when the "revenge pending change effect" is performed than when the "RUSH pending change effect" is performed, the expectation of the big hit is higher. The degree of expectation for a big win may be higher when the "RUSH pending change effect" is performed than when the "effect" is performed.

In the third embodiment, the sun icons A to C are displayed in the "super RUSH mode" and "RUSH mode", and the umbrella icons A to B are displayed in the "revenge mode". , the "RUSH mode" and the "revenge mode" have different pending icons HA, but the same pending icons HA may be displayed. For example, the sun icons A to C may be displayed in "super RUSH mode", "RUSH mode" and "revenge mode".

Also, in the third embodiment, "super RUSH mode", "revenge pending change production" in "revenge mode" shifted by the end of the 100th special figure fluctuation production in "RUSH mode", and "super RUSH mode" The probability that the umbrella icon B is displayed is the same as the “revenge pending change effect” in the “revenge mode” that is shifted by being determined to be “fall winning” in the fall judgment in , but with a different probability An umbrella icon B may be displayed.

In addition, in the third embodiment, the production contents of "normal countdown production" and "special countdown production" are the production contents for counting the number of special figure fluctuation productions, but other production contents may be used.

Also, in the third embodiment, only when the result of the jackpot look-ahead determination for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th variable display of the special figure is "big hit", the "special countdown effect" is executed However, even if the result of the big hit prediction judgment for the special figure 2 hold corresponding to the 100th variable display of the special figure is "losing", the "special countdown effect" is performed as a so-called fake effect. It may be executed.

In addition, in the third embodiment, the 101st and later special figure fluctuation effects are more likely to occur than the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects in the "super RUSH mode". Although the execution probability of "change effect" is high, the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation effects are better than the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation effects in "super RUSH mode". The execution probability of the "RUSH pending change effect" based on is increased.

In addition, in the third embodiment, the 101st and subsequent special figure fluctuation productions than the 1st to 100th special figure fluctuation productions in the "super RUSH mode" are "jackpots" in the jackpot look-ahead determination. Although the execution probability of "RUSH pending change effect" when determined is high, in the special figure variation effect of the 1st to 100th than in the special figure variation effect after the 101st time in "super RUSH mode" The execution probability of the "RUSH pending change effect" when it is determined to be a "big win" in the big win look-ahead determination may be higher.

Also, in the basic embodiment, the small patterns KZ1, KZ2, and KZ3 are displayed in a variable manner in synchronism with the special figure variable display. , 2, etc., other than three patterns may be used. For example, you may provide two designs divided by special figure 1 and special figure 2. Moreover, you may provide one design common with the special figure 1 and the special figure 2. In these cases, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 may be used for display, and the sub-control board 120 may be used for control. Also, in areas other than the game area 6 of the game board 1, an LED device for displaying symbols may be provided. In this case, the main control board 100 or the sub-control board 120 may control the LED device.

Further, in the basic embodiment, the special figure 2 determination process is preferentially performed, but the special figure 1 determination process may be preferentially performed. Also, for the special figure 1 relation random number and the special figure 2 relation random number, the special figure determination process may be performed in the order stored in the reservation storage unit.

Also, in the basic embodiment, the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are not performed in parallel, but the variable display of the special figure 1 and the variable display of the special figure 2 are performed in parallel. It can be configured as follows.

Further, in the basic embodiment, the main control board 100 performs basic control relating to the progress of the game, and the sub-control board 120 performs basic control relating to the progress of the effect according to the progress of the game (game control). Although the control of the game and the control of the effect are performed by different substrates, they may be configured to be performed by one substrate. In this case, the image control board 140 may be included in the one board, or may be provided separately from the one board.
