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

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

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

In this pachinko game machine PY1, when there is a winning (entering a ball) of a game ball into the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, the value of various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers (numerical information , determination information) is temporarily stored in the special figure reservation storage unit 105 described later. Specifically, if the winning to the first start port 11 is stored as the first special figure reservation, it is stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a described later, and if the winning to the second start opening 12 is the second special It is stored in the later-described second special figure suspension storage unit 105b as figure suspension. There is an upper limit to the number of special figure reservations that can be stored in each special figure reservation storage unit 105, and the upper limit value in this embodiment is "4".

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There are multiple types of jackpots. The types of jackpots are as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, there are roughly two types in this embodiment. There is a variable jackpot and a normal jackpot. The variable probability jackpot is a jackpot that controls the game state after the jackpot game to a high probability state, which will be described later. The normal jackpot is a jackpot in which the game state after the jackpot game is controlled to a normal probability state (low probability state) described later.

More specifically, the probability variable jackpot and normal jackpot that can be won in the special drawing 1 lottery (first special pattern lottery) open the big winning mouth 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 5R. On the other hand, 6R to 10R are jackpots in which the big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 0.1 second per 1R. In other words, although the total number of rounds for these jackpots is 10R, the actual number of rounds is 5R. The substantial number of rounds is the number of rounds in which game balls can win up to the maximum number of winning prizes per round (eight in this embodiment). In these jackpots, from 6R to 10R, the opening time of the big prize opening 14 is extremely short, and the rounds are such that prize balls cannot be expected. It should be noted that, when the "probability variable jackpot" is won by the lottery of the special figure 1, the "special figure 1_probability variation pattern" is stopped and displayed on the first special figure display device 81a, and when the "normal jackpot" is won, "Special figure 1_normal symbol" is stop-displayed on the first special figure indicator 81a.

Also, the probability variable jackpot and normal jackpot that can be won in the lottery of the special figure 2 (lottery of the second special pattern) are jackpots that open the big prize opening 14 for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R from 1R to 10R. In other words, these jackpots have a substantial number of rounds of 10R. When the "probability variable jackpot" is won by the lottery of the special figure 2, the "special figure 2_probability variation pattern" is stopped and displayed on the second special figure display device 81b, and when the "normal jackpot" is won, the second "Special figure 2_normal symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special figure indicator 81b.

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

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the allocation rate of the jackpot in the lottery of the special figure 1 and the lottery of the special figure 2 is 65% for the probability variable jackpot and 35% for the normal jackpot. However, if a jackpot is won based on the lottery of special figure 1, a jackpot game with a substantial number of rounds of 5 rounds will be executed, and if a jackpot is won based on the lottery of special figure 2 The lottery of the special figure 2 is set to be more advantageous to the player than the lottery of the special figure 1 in that a jackpot game with a typical number of rounds of 10 rounds is executed.

Here, in the pachinko game machine PY1, the lottery for whether or not a big win is made is performed based on the ``random number for the jackpot'', and the lottery for the type of the winning jackpot is performed based on the ``random number for the winning type''. As shown in FIG. 10(A), the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0-65535. The winning type random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. In addition to the jackpot random number and the winning type random number, the random numbers obtained based on the winning of the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 include "reach random numbers" and "fluctuation pattern random numbers".

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

Also, the fluctuation pattern random number is a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern including fluctuation time. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. Random numbers acquired based on passing through the gate 13 include normal symbol random numbers (hit random numbers) shown in FIG. 10(B). The normal symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (normal symbol lottery) for determining whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 12D. The normal symbol random number takes a value in the range from 0 to 65535.

4. Explanation of Game State Next, the game state of the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment will be explained. The special figure indicator 81 and the normal figure indicator 82 of the pachinko game machine PY1 respectively have a probability variation function and a variation time shortening function. The state in which the probability variation function of the special figure indicator 81 is operating is called "high probability state", and the state in which it is not operating is called "normal probability state (non-high probability state)". In the high probability state, the jackpot probability is higher than in the normal probability state. That is, the jackpot determination is performed using a jackpot determination table that has more values of jackpot random numbers that are determined to be a jackpot than the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (see FIG. 11(A)). That is, when the probability variation function of the special figure indicator 81 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the special symbol by the special figure indicator 81 (that is, the stop symbol) is a jackpot symbol is higher than when it is not activated. becomes higher.

Moreover, the state in which the variable time reduction function of the special figure indicator 81 is operating is called "time saving state", and the state in which it is not operating is called "non-working time saving state". In the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol (the time from the start of the fluctuation display to the time of derivation display of the display result) is shorter than in the non-working time saving state. That is, using a special symbol variation pattern determination table (special symbol variation pattern determination table) that is determined so that a variation pattern with a short variation time is selected more than in a non-time saving state, variable display of special symbols A determination is made to determine the variation pattern of (see FIG. 12). That is, when the variable time shortening function of the special figure display 81 operates, it becomes easy to select a short variable time as the variable display of the special symbol compared to when it is not operating. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure reservation becomes faster, and the effective winning to the starting opening (the winning that can be stored as the special figure reservation) is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit under the smooth progress of the game.

The probability variation function and the variation time reduction function of the special figure indicator 81 may operate simultaneously, or only one of them may operate. Then, the probability variation function and the variation time shortening function of the normal figure indicator 82 are designed to operate in synchronization with the variation time shortening function of the special figure indicator 81 . That is, the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time reduction function of the normal figure display 82 operate|moves in a time saving state, and do not operate|move in a non-time saving state. Therefore, in the time-saving state, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery is higher than in the non-time-saving state. That is, the value of the normal design random number (hit random number) determined to be a hit is determined using a normal design hit determination table that is larger than the normal design hit determination table used in the non-time saving state, and the hit determination (normal design determination) is performed ( See FIG. 11(C)). In other words, when the probability variation function of the normal pattern indicator 82 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the normal symbol by the normal symbol indicator 82 becomes a normal winning symbol is higher than when it is not activated. .

In addition, in the time saving state, the fluctuation time of the normal pattern is shorter than in the non-working time saving state. In the present embodiment, the variation time of normal symbols is 7 seconds in the non-time saving state, but is 1 second in the time saving state (see FIG. 11(D)). Furthermore, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D in the auxiliary game is longer than the non-time saving state (see FIG. 13). That is, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 12D is operating. In addition, in the time-saving state, the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened in the auxiliary game is greater than in the non-time-saving state (see FIG. 13). That is, the function of increasing the number of openings of the electric chew 12D is activated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5. Variation of special symbols in the first mode As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this mode, the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. conduct. The determination for determining the variation pattern of the variable display of the special symbols is made whether the result of the big win determination is a big win or a loss. Here, 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 the production flow of the special figure fluctuation production (contents of production), it is possible to include identification information regarding the result of the jackpot determination and the result of the reach determination. The special figure variation pattern of this embodiment includes identification information related to a pseudo-continuous effect, which will be described later, the first board movable body effect, which will be described later, the light emission pattern of the on-board movable device lamp 60, which will be described later, and the second board movable body effect, which will be described later. It is included.

Each special figure variation pattern determination table can be associated with the gaming state. It is possible to distinguish between the special figure variation pattern determination table used in the non-time saving state and the special figure variation pattern determination table used in the time saving state. In addition, each special figure variation pattern determination table associated with the gaming state can be further associated with the jackpot determination result or the ready-to-win determination result. That is, the special figure variation pattern determination table used in the non-time saving state includes, for example, the big hit, the loss with reach, and the loss without reach. Similarly, the special figure variation pattern determination table used during the time saving state also has a big hit, a loss with reach, and a loss without reach.

Furthermore, the special figure variation pattern determination table for reach no loss used in the non-time saving state can be associated with the number of special figure reservations. For example, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table for reach no loss used when the special figure reservation number is 0 to 2, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for reach no loss used when the special figure reservation number is 3 to 4 It is possible to distinguish between the decision table and the In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table for reach no loss used in the time saving state can be associated with the number of special figure reservations. For example, the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table for reach no loss used when the special figure reservation number is 0 to 1, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for reach no loss used when the special figure reservation number is 2 to 4 It is possible to distinguish between the decision table and the

The contents of the special figure fluctuation production shown in the rightmost remarks column of the table of FIG. 12 will be described. In the variable production of the pachinko machine PY1 of this embodiment, non-reach, normal reach, SP reach (super reach), pseudo-continuation, first board movable object production using on-board movable device 55, on-board movable device 55 and under-board 2nd board movable object production etc. using the movable apparatus 56 can be performed. Here, the non-reach means a variable effect in which the combination of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is stop-displayed in a separate pattern (for example, "458").

Here, the normal reach means a variable effect in which the development effect is not executed after the above-described reach is formed, and the remaining effect pattern that continues to be variably displayed is stopped and displayed. The SP reach is a variable effect in which the development effect is executed after forming the above-described reach, and the change time after the reach is longer than that of the normal reach.

In SP reach, distribution ratios of various fluctuation patterns are set so that the degree of winning expectation (degree of expectation for winning a jackpot) is higher than in normal reach (see FIG. 12). Therefore, when the player sees the SP reach with a long fluctuation time, it can be understood that the winning expectation is higher than that of the normal reach. Here, the SP reach is divided into weak SP reach and strong SP reach. Distribution ratios of various variation patterns are set in the order of weak SP reach→strong SP reach so that the degree of expectation for winning a big win increases. Therefore, the player can understand that the winning expectation is very high by looking at the strong SP reach, and understands that the winning expectation is lower than when the strong SP reach is displayed by looking at the weak SP reach. can do.

Here, the pseudo-continuation is a so-called pseudo-continuation effect. Hereinafter, it will also be referred to as a “pseudo continuous effect”. In the pseudo continuous effect of this form, the period from the start of the variable display of one special symbol to the stop display of the special symbol is divided into a plurality of unit periods (variation cycles), and in each unit period, the effect symbol EZ to start the variable display of the production pattern EZ and temporarily stop and display the production pattern EZ (in this embodiment, the left production pattern EZ1 and the right production pattern EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same number (for example, "2"), and the middle production pattern Effect of temporarily stopping display of EZ2 with "Continue" (see FIGS. 17(C-1), 18(C-1), 19(C-1), and 20(C-1)) is executed. It's about. Further, in this embodiment, there is only one unit period in which the variable display of the performance symbol EZ is performed once from the start to the end of one special symbol lottery, and the fluctuation of the performance symbol EZ. There are two unit periods in which the display is performed once, and there are three unit periods in which the variable display of the effect symbol EZ is performed once. In this embodiment, when the variable display of the production pattern EZ starts, the unit period starts. If it is temporarily stopped by "Continue", the above-mentioned unit period ends. Then, when the re-variation display of the effect symbols is started, the next unit period is started. Below, a pseudo-continuous effect including only one unit period (predetermined first number of times) in which the effect symbol EZ is variably displayed once is referred to as "pseudo-continuous 1 time", and the effect symbol EZ is variably displayed once. A pseudo-continuous effect including two unit periods (predetermined second number of times) is called "pseudo-continuous two times", and the unit period in which the variable display of the effect symbol EZ is performed once is three times (predetermined third number of times). ) will be referred to as “pseudo-continue 3 times”. It should be noted that the setting is such that the winning expectation can be increased in the order of "pseudo-run 1 time"→"pseudo-run 2 times"→"pseudo-run 3 times". Also, the first unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect of this embodiment is called "first unit period", the second unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect is called "second unit period", and the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect is called "second unit period". The period will be called a "third unit period". Then, the last unit period in the pseudo-continuation effect (for example, one unit period in the case of one pseudo-continuation, a second unit period in the case of two pseudo-continuations, and a third unit period in the case of three pseudo-continuations) The unit period) is from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol EZ to the stop display of the special symbol. As a result, the last unit period of the present embodiment (for example, one unit period in the case of one pseudo-run, the second unit period in the case of two pseudo-runs, and the third unit period in the case of three pseudo-runs) unit period), the above-described normal reach and SP reach may be performed (see FIG. 12).

In this form, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed with the start of the second unit period and the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect. Here, the number-of-continuations suggesting effect is an effect capable of suggesting to the player that the second unit period and the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect will start (see FIGS. 12 and 14A). . Further, the number-of-continuations suggesting effect is also a stepwise effect capable of gradually suggesting to the player the degree of expectation of winning a big win in the special symbol lottery (see FIGS. 12 and 14 (A)). As a result, it is possible for the player to understand that the degree of expectation for winning a big win in the special symbol lottery is increasing step by step.

First, the continuation number suggesting effect that is executed when the second unit period of the pseudo-continuous effect starts will be described. The continuation number suggesting effect executed with the start of the second unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect is, as the first stage, a first continuation number image GA ("2nd time ”) is displayed (see FIGS. 14A and 17D-1). By displaying the first number-of-continuations image GA on the display screen 50a, it is possible to suggest that the second unit period in the pseudo continuous effect will start. As a result, the player can recognize that the second unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect will start by checking the first number-of-continuations image GA. Also, by displaying the first number-of-continuations image GA on the display screen 50a, it is possible to suggest to the player that there is a degree of expectation for winning to the extent that the second unit period in the pseudo continuous effect will start. As a result, the player can understand that there is a level of expectation for winning that will start the second unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a continuation number suggesting effect that is executed at the same time as the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect is started will be described. The continuation number suggesting effect executed with the start of the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect is, as the second stage, a second continuation number image GB ("3rd time ”) is displayed (see FIGS. 14(B), 18(D-1), 19(D-1), and 20(D-1)). By displaying the second continuation count image GB on the display screen 50a, it is possible to suggest that the third unit period in the pseudo continuous effect has started. Thereby, the player can grasp that the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect will start. In addition, by displaying the second consecutive count image GB on the display screen 50a, it is possible to suggest that there is a degree of winning expectation to the extent that the third unit period in the pseudo continuous effect will start. As a result, the player can understand that there is a level of expectation for winning that will start the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect.

Further, in this embodiment, the second continuation number image GB shown in green color is displayed on the display screen 50a rather than the first continuation number image GA shown in blue color is displayed on the display screen 50a. It is set so that the winning expectation is higher when it is displayed (see FIGS. 12 and 14A).

Next, the first board movable body effect will be described. The first-board movable body presentation is a presentation in which the first-board movable body 55k moves (falls) downward and the second-board movable body 56k is held in a standby state, as shown in FIG. 6(B). (see FIGS. 17(D-1), 18(D-1), and 20(D-1)). The 1st board movable body production of this embodiment is a staged production capable of suggesting to the player in stages the level of expectation that the player will win the jackpot in the special pattern lottery (see FIGS. 12 and 14 (B)). .

In this form, at the start of the second unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, the first board movable body effect is executed (see FIG. 17 (D-1)). Then, in the first board movable body presentation executed at the start of the second unit period, as the first stage, the light emission pattern 1 is selected from among the plurality of light emission patterns, and the blue light emission color based on the light emission pattern 1 is selected. The on-board movable device lamp 60 is turned on (see FIGS. 14(B), 15 and 16). As a result, the player can understand that there is a degree of expectation for winning to the extent that the second unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect is started.

Next, at the start of the third unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, the first board movable body effect is executed (see FIG. 18 (D-1) and FIG. 20 (D-1)). Then, in the first board movable body presentation executed at the start of the third unit period, as the second stage, the light emission pattern 2 is selected from among the plurality of light emission patterns, and the green light emission color based on the light emission pattern 2 is selected. The on-board movable device lamp 60 may be lit (see FIGS. 14(B), 15(A), and 16(A)). As a result, the player can understand that there is a degree of expectation for winning that will start the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect. On the other hand, in the first board movable body presentation executed at the start of the third unit period, as the third step, the light emission pattern 3 is selected from among the plurality of light emission patterns, and the red light emission color based on the light emission pattern 3 is selected. , the on-board movable device lamp 60 may be lit (see FIGS. 14(B) and 16(B)). As a result, the player can grasp that the winning expectation is higher than the winning expectation that the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect starts.

Next, the second board movable body presentation will be described. The second board movable body presentation is the first board movable body 55k moving downward (falling) and the second board movable body 56k moving upward (rising) as shown in FIG. 6(C). It is a performance (see FIG. 19 (D-1)). The second board movable body effect of this embodiment is a effect capable of suggesting to the player the degree of expectation of winning a big win in a lottery of special symbols (see FIGS. 12 and 14(B)). In this form, at the start of the third unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, the second board movable body effect may be executed instead of the first board movable body effect (see FIG. 19 (D-1)). It should be noted that the above-board movable device 55 and the below-board movable device 56 of this embodiment execute not only the board movable body production (the first board movable body production, the second board movable body production), but also other productions in the variable production. It is operable even when The on-board movable device 55 and the under-board movable device 56 are operable not only in the variable performance, but also in the big win performance performed during execution of the big win game.

6. About three pseudo-runs In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, three pseudo-runs may be executed according to the variation patterns (variation patterns P1 to P3, variation patterns P21 to P23) selected (see FIG. 12). ). However, even when three pseudo-runs are executed, if the board movable body effects (first board movable body effect, second board movable body effect) executed at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs are different. (variation pattern P2 to variation pattern P3, variation pattern P22 to variation pattern P23). Three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P2 to the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P22 to the variation pattern P23 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, in the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment, the special symbols are confirmed after a stop time of 600 ms after the start of stop display of the special symbols, which is omitted in FIG. First, three pseudo runs based on the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 will be described with reference to FIG. 15(A).

As shown in FIG. 15(A), when the variable display of the special symbol is started based on the selected variation pattern P3 or variation pattern P23, the variation pattern P3 or variation pattern P23 is displayed on the display screen 50a. is executed, and the first unit period is started. When the first unit period in three pseudo-runs ends, the second unit period starts. Simultaneously with the start of the second unit period, the first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") displayed in blue color is displayed on the display screen 50a. Simultaneously with the start of the second unit period, the first board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k is executed. When the first board movable body effect is executed, the first board movable body 55k is switched from non-movable to movable, and the first board movable body 55k moves (descends) as shown in FIG. 6(B). Become. Simultaneously with the start of movement of the first board movable body 55k, the on-board movable device lamp 60 lights up in a blue emission color. In this embodiment, the display color (blue) of the first number-of-continuations image GA and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 are matched to give the player an impression of a common winning expectation. is possible. Further, in this embodiment, when about 3 seconds have passed since the movement of the first plate movable body 55k has passed, the first plate movable body 55k is switched from movable to non-movable, and the first plate movable body 55k moves (rises), as shown in FIG. 6(A). It will look like this. Further, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is extinguished after about three seconds have passed since it started lighting in the blue emission color. Further, when about 7 seconds have passed since the display of the first continuation number image GA on the display screen 50a started, the first continuation number image GA on the display screen 50a disappears.

In this embodiment, when the first board movable body effect is executed in the pseudo continuous effect, the first board movable body 55k descends from the state shown in FIG. 6A to the state shown in FIG. The display screen 50a is covered, making it difficult for the player to visually recognize the effect displayed on the display screen 50a. Further, when the second board movable body effect is executed in the pseudo-continuous effect, the first board movable body 55k descends as shown in FIG. 6(B) from the state shown in FIG. The movable body 56k rises to cover the display screen 50a, making it difficult for the player to visually recognize the effect displayed on the display screen 50a. Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the first board movable body effect is executed, as described above, after about 3 seconds have passed since the first board movable body 55k started to move, the first board movable body 55k is switched from movable to non-movable, and the first board movable body 55k is made movable. The body 55k moves (rises) and becomes the state shown in FIG. 6(A). Also, even if the second board movable body effect is executed, as described above, the first board movable body 55k and the second board movable body 56k will switch from the movable state to the non-movable state after about three seconds have passed since the start of movement. 6(C), the first plate movable body 55k moves (rises), and the second plate movable body 56k moves (falls), resulting in the state shown in FIG. 6(A). As a result, the display screen 50a is covered with the board movable bodies (the first board movable body 55k and the second board movable body 56k), thereby shortening the time during which it is difficult to visually recognize the effect displayed on the display screen 50a. . On the other hand, in the continuation count suggesting effect, since the continuation count image (first continuation count image GA, second continuation count image GB) is displayed on the display screen 50a, it is not difficult for the player to see the continuation count image. The display time of the count image is longer than the moving time of the board movable body (first board movable body 55k, second board movable body 56k) in the board movable body production (first board movable body production, second board movable body production). getting longer. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by lengthening the display time of the number-of-continuations image, it is possible to make it easier for the player to grasp what number of times the unit time is in the pseudo-continuous effect.

After that, when the second unit period in three pseudo-runs ends, the third unit period starts. Simultaneously with the start of the third unit period, the display screen 50a displays a second continuation number image GB (character image of "3rd time") in green display color. Simultaneously with the start of the third unit period, the first board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k is executed. When the first board movable body effect is executed, the first board movable body 55k is switched from non-movable to movable, as shown in FIG. 6(B). Simultaneously with the start of movement of the first board movable body 55k, the board movable device lamp 60 lights up in a green emission color. When about 3 seconds have passed since the first plate movable body 55k started to move, the first plate movable body 55k switches from the movable state to the non-movable state, and the first plate movable body 55k moves (rises) as shown in FIG. 6(A). In this embodiment, the display color (green) of the second continuation count image GB and the light emitting color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 are matched to give the player an impression of a common winning expectation. is possible. Further, after about 3 seconds have passed since the on-board movable device lamp 60 started lighting in the green emission color, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is extinguished. When about 7 seconds have passed since the display of the second continuation number image GB on the display screen 50a started, the second continuation number image GB on the display screen 50a disappears. After that, in the 3rd unit period in 3 pseudo-runs, a weak SP reach is performed, and when the fluctuation time of the special symbol has passed, the 3rd unit period ends when the special symbol is a big hit symbol or a losing symbol. Then, the variable production ends.

Next, three pseudo runs based on the variation pattern P2 or the variation pattern P22 will be described with reference to FIG. 15(B). As shown in FIG. 15(B), when the variable display of the special symbol is started based on the selected variation pattern P2 or variation pattern P22, the variation pattern P2 or variation pattern P22 is displayed on the display screen 50a. is executed, and the first unit period is started. When the first unit period in three pseudo-runs ends, the second unit period starts. Simultaneously with the start of the second unit period, the first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") displayed in blue color is displayed on the display screen 50a. Simultaneously with the start of the second unit period, the first board movable body effect is executed. When the first board movable body effect is executed, the first board movable body 55k is switched from non-movable to movable, and the first board movable body 55k moves (descends) as shown in FIG. 6(B). Become. Simultaneously with the start of movement of the first board movable body 55k, the on-board movable device lamp 60 lights up in a blue emission color. In this embodiment, the display color (blue) of the first number-of-continuations image GA and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 are matched to give the player an impression of a common winning expectation. is possible. Further, in this embodiment, when about 3 seconds have passed since the movement of the first plate movable body 55k has passed, the first plate movable body 55k is switched from movable to non-movable, and the first plate movable body 55k moves (rises), as shown in FIG. 6(A). It will look like this. Further, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is extinguished when about three seconds have passed since the on-board movable device lamp 60 started lighting in the blue emission color. Further, when about 7 seconds have passed since the display of the first continuation number image GA on the display screen 50a started, the first continuation number image GA on the display screen 50a disappears.

After that, when the second unit period in three pseudo-runs ends, the third unit period starts. Simultaneously with the start of the third unit period, the display screen 50a displays a second continuation number image GB (character image of "3rd time") in green display color. Simultaneously with the start of the third unit period, the second board movable body effect is executed. When the second board movable body effect is executed, the first board movable body 55k and the second board movable body 56k are switched from non-movable to movable, as shown in FIG. 6(C). Simultaneously with the start of movement of the first board movable body 55k, the board movable device lamp 60 lights up in a green emission color. When about 3 seconds have passed since the movement of the first board movable body 55k and the second board movable body 56k has passed, the movable state is switched to the non-movable state, the first board movable body 55k moves (rises), and the second board movable body 55k moves (rises). 56k moves (falls) to the state shown in FIG. 6(A). In this embodiment, the display color (green) of the second continuation count image GB and the light emitting color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 are matched to give the player an impression of a common winning expectation. is possible. Further, after about three seconds have passed since the on-board movable device lamp 60 started lighting in the green emission color, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is extinguished. When about 7 seconds have passed since the display of the second continuation number image GB on the display screen 50a started, the second continuation number image GB on the display screen 50a disappears. After that, in the 3rd unit period in 3 pseudo-runs, a weak SP reach is performed, and when the fluctuation time of the special symbol has passed, the 3rd unit period ends when the special symbol is a big hit symbol or a losing symbol. Then, the variable performance ends.

As described above, regardless of which of the variation pattern P2, the variation pattern P3, the variation pattern P22, and the variation pattern P23 is selected, the display screen 50a The display color (blue) of the first continuous count image GA displayed in , and the light emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 lit in the first board movable body presentation match. Furthermore, when the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs is started, the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 that has been lit ( green) match. However, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P2 or the variation pattern P22, the second board movable body effect using the upper board movable device 55 and the lower board movable device 56 is executed. , at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P24, the first board movable body effect using only the board movable device 55 is executed (FIG. 12). , see FIG. 15). In this embodiment, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the second board movable body effect using the on-board movable device 55 and the under-board movable device 56 is more likely to be executed. The apportionment ratios of various variation patterns are set so that the expectation of winning is higher than when the first board movable body effect using is executed (see FIG. 12). As a result, even when the same pseudo-run is executed three times, the player can determine whether the first board movable body effect or the second board movable body effect is executed at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs. It is possible to attract attention.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, even if three pseudo-runs are executed based on the variation patterns (variation pattern P1, variation pattern P3, variation pattern P21, variation pattern P23) selected, the third pseudo-run At the start of the three-unit period, the color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 that lights up in the first-board movable body presentation that is executed may be different. Three pseudo runs based on the variation pattern P1 and the variation pattern P3, or the variation pattern P21 and the variation pattern P23 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, in the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment, the special symbols are determined after a stop time of 600 ms after the start of stop display of the special symbols, which is omitted in FIG. It should be noted that the pseudo run three times executed when the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 using FIG. 16 (A) is selected, the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 using FIG. 15 (A) is selected Since it is the same as the three pseudo-runs executed in the case, the description of the three pseudo-runs executed when the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 using FIG. 16A is selected is omitted.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16(B), the variation effect executed when the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21 is selected will be described. As shown in FIG. 16(B), along with the start of the variable display of the special symbol based on the selected variation pattern P1 or variation pattern P21, the variation effect based on the variation pattern P1 or variation pattern P21 is executed. , and the first unit period in three pseudo-runs is started. When the first unit period in three pseudo-runs ends, the second unit period starts. Simultaneously with the start of the second unit period, the first continuous count image GA (character image of "2nd time") shown in blue color is displayed on the display screen 50a, and the first board movable body effect is executed. be. When the first board movable body effect is executed, the first board movable body 55k is switched from non-movable to movable, and the first board movable body 55k moves (descends) as shown in FIG. 6(B). Become. Simultaneously with the start of movement of the first board movable body 55k, the on-board movable device lamp 60 lights up in a blue emission color. In this embodiment, the display color (blue) of the first number-of-continuations image GA and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 are matched to give the player an impression of a common winning expectation. is possible. Further, in this embodiment, when about 3 seconds have passed since the movement of the first plate movable body 55k has passed, the first plate movable body 55k is switched from movable to non-movable, and the first plate movable body 55k moves (rises), as shown in FIG. 6(A). It will look like this. Further, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is extinguished when about three seconds have passed since the on-board movable device lamp 60 started lighting in the blue emission color. Further, when about 7 seconds have passed since the display of the first continuation number image GA on the display screen 50a started, the first continuation number image GA on the display screen 50a disappears.

After that, when the second unit period in three pseudo-runs ends, the third unit period starts. Simultaneously with the start of the third unit period, the display screen 50a displays the second continuation number image GB (character image of "3rd time") in green display color, and the first board movable body effect is executed. be done. Then, when the first board movable body effect is executed, the first board movable body 55k is switched from non-movable to movable, as shown in FIG. 6(B). Simultaneously with the start of movement of the first board movable body 55k, the on-board movable device lamp 60 lights up in a red emission color. When about 3 seconds have passed since the first plate movable body 55k started to move, the first plate movable body 55k switches from the movable state to the non-movable state, and the first plate movable body 55k moves (rises) as shown in FIG. 6(A). In this embodiment, the display color (green) of the second continuation count image GB and the emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 do not match, giving the player a sense of incongruity and giving a distinctive impression. It is possible. Further, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is extinguished after about three seconds have passed since the on-board movable device lamp 60 started lighting in the red emission color. When about 7 seconds have passed since the display of the second continuation number image GB on the display screen 50a started, the second continuation number image GB on the display screen 50a disappears. After that, strong SP reach is performed in the third unit period in three pseudo-runs, and when the special symbol fluctuation time elapses, the special symbol is a big hit symbol or a losing symbol, and the third unit period is When it ends, the variable production ends.

As described above, even if any of the variation pattern P1, the variation pattern P3, the variation pattern P21, or the variation pattern P23 is selected, at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display screen 50a The display color (blue) of the displayed first continuation number image GA and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 lit in the first board movable body presentation match. However, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the first board movable The light emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 lit in the body effect is inconsistent. On the other hand, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the illuminated board The emission color (green) of the mobile device lamp 60 matches.

In this embodiment, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the first board illuminated by the movable body effect When the emission color (red) of the movable device lamp 60 does not match, the display color (green) of the second continuation number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the first board illuminated by the movable body production The apportionment ratios of various variation patterns are set so that the degree of expectation for winning is higher than when the luminescent colors (green) of the upper movable device lamps 60 match (see FIG. 12). Thereby, even when the same pseudo-run is executed three times, the display color of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a at the start of the third unit period in the three-pseudo-run, It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the luminous colors of the on-board movable device lamps 60 lit in the first board movable body presentation match.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 17 to 20, an example of the presentation of this embodiment in the non-time-saving state will be described. First, based on FIG. 17, an example of the variation performance executed in the first unit period in the pseudo-run 1 time, the pseudo-run 2 times, and the pseudo-run 3 times will be described. In FIG. 17(A), a variable effect based on a lottery for a special figure is executed on the display screen 50a. Further, in FIG. 17A, the daytime background image H1 is displayed on the display screen 50a.

After that, as shown in FIG. 17(B), "2" is temporarily stopped in the left effect symbol EZ1 and "2" is temporarily stopped in the right effect symbol EZ3, the display mode of the effect symbol EZ becomes the ready-to-win mode, and shifts to normal reach. In the case of the second unit period in two pseudo-runs or three pseudo-runs, the process proceeds to FIG. 17 (C-1). On the other hand, when the first unit period in one pseudo-run ends, the process proceeds to FIG. 17(C-2).

With the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the number-of-continuations suggestion effect is executed. As shown in FIG. 18(D-1), in the continuation number suggesting effect, a second continuation number image GB (character image of "third time") shown in green color is displayed on the display screen 50a. By displaying the second consecutive number image GB on the display screen 50a, it is possible for the player to understand that the third unit period in the pseudo consecutive three times will start. Also, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the first board movable body effect using the on-board movable device 55 is executed. Note that the on-board movable device lamp 60 provided on the on-board movable device 55 is lit in a green emission color. After that, it will develop into a weak SP reach.

On the other hand, when proceeding from the normal reach shown in FIG. 18(B) to FIG. 18(C-2), as shown in FIG. The middle effect symbol EZ2 slides without temporarily stopping at .

If it is the third unit period in three pseudo-runs, the process proceeds to FIG. 19(C-1). On the other hand, the process proceeds to FIG. 19C-2, which is the second unit period in two pseudo-runs.

In the case of the third unit period in the three pseudo-continuations based on the variation pattern P2 or the variation pattern P22, the middle effect symbol EZ2 is temporarily stopped with "Continue" on the display screen 50a, and the second unit in the three pseudo-continuations. period ends. Then, when the third unit period in three pseudo-runs is started, the process proceeds to FIG. 19 (D-1).

By performing the variable display of the effect symbol EZ again on the display screen 50a, as shown in FIG. 19 (D-1), the third unit period of three pseudo-runs is started. With the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, a second continuous number image GB (character image of "3rd") shown in green color is displayed on the display screen 50a. By displaying the second continuous count image GB on the display screen 50a, it is possible for the player to understand that the third unit period of the pseudo-run of three times will start. Also, at the start of the third unit period in the 3rd pseudo-run, the second board movable body effect using the upper board movable device 55 and the lower board movable device 56 is executed. Note that the on-board movable device lamp 60 provided on the on-board movable device 55 is lit in a green emission color. After that, in the third unit period, it develops into a strong SP reach.

On the other hand, when proceeding from the normal reach shown in FIG. 19(B) to FIG. 19(C-2), as shown in FIG. The middle effect symbol EZ2 slides without temporarily stopping at . After that, in the second unit period, the production symbol EZ stops in the losing display mode (“232”), develops into weak SP reach, or develops into strong SP reach.

After that, in the second unit period in the second pseudo-run, the performance symbol EZ stops in the losing display mode ("232"), develops into weak SP reach, or develops into strong SP reach.

Some conventional pachinko game machines have movable bodies. The pachinko game machine is capable of amusing a player by moving a movable body at various timings according to a performance mode such as a variable performance displayed on a display screen of a liquid crystal display device. However, there is a limit to how much the player can be entertained simply by moving the movable body at various timings in accordance with the effect modes such as the variable effect displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device.

In the pachinko game machine PY1 of the present embodiment, even when a pseudo continuous effect based on a variation pattern selected from among the variation patterns P1 to P6 and the variation patterns P21 to P26 is executed, the second unit period in the pseudo continuous effect At the start of , the first continuation number image GA is displayed on the display screen 50a, and the first board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k is executed. In this embodiment, at the start of the second unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, the display color (blue) of the first continuation count image GA displayed on the display screen 50a, and the board movable device that lights up in the first board movable effect The emission color (blue) of the lamp 60 matches. As a result, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment, the display color of the first continuous number image GA is matched with the light emitting color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 that lights up in the first board movable effect, and the player can It is possible to give an impression that is a common expectation of winning. Therefore, it is possible for the player to have more fun than simply moving the movable body.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 are executed, and when three pseudo-runs are performed based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, At the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the second consecutive number image GB is displayed on the display screen 50a, and the first board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k is executed. However, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23, the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the first board movable body effect matches the light emission color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 at . On the other hand, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the first board movable body effect does not match the light emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 at . Then, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the on-board movable device lamp 60 in the first board movable body effect When the emission color (red) does not match, the display color (green) of the second continuation number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the first board movable at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs. The allocation rate of various variation patterns is set so that the expectation of winning the jackpot is higher than when the light emission color (green) of the on-board mobile device lamp 60 in the body effect matches ( See Figure 12). As a result, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the present embodiment, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, not only the first board movable body 55k that moves according to the pseudo-run performance, but also the first board movable body 55k in the three pseudo-runs. At the start of the three unit period, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the display color of the second continuous number image GB and the emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 in the first board movable body presentation. Therefore, at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the impression that the continuation number suggesting effect and the first board movable body effect were common to the winning expectation level, but the third unit in the three pseudo-runs At the start of the period, it is possible to give the player an impression that the number-of-continuation-suggestion performance and the first-board movable-body performance are not the same winning expectation degree, thereby making the player feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, depending on whether or not the display color of the second continuation number image GB and the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 match, it is possible to make the future development of the game more interesting. In this way, along with the start of the unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, not only is the first board movable body 55k moved, but also the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the first board are displayed. The luminous colors of the on-board movable device lamps 60 in the movable body presentation make it possible to excite and entertain the player.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the pseudo-run 3 times based on the variation pattern P2 or the variation pattern P22 is executed, the second continuation number image GB is displayed at the start of the third unit period in the pseudo-run 3 times. The first board movable body 55k and the second board movable body 56k, which are displayed on the display screen 50a and whose on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in green, will move. Then, at the start of the third unit period in the three simulated runs, the expectation of winning the jackpot is higher when the second board movable body effect is executed than when the first board movable body effect is executed. Distribution ratios of various fluctuation patterns are set so as to increase (see FIG. 12). As a result, according to the pachinko machine PY1 of the present embodiment, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color of the second continuous number image GB, the movement of the first board movable body 55k, and the on-board movable device lamp It is possible to draw the player's attention not only to the luminous color of 60 but also to the movement of the second board movable body 56k. Therefore, not only is it a pseudo-run 3 times with a high probability of winning, but even if the display color of the second continuous number image GB and the emission color of the board movable device lamp 60 in the first board movable body effect are the same. Depending on whether or not the second board movable body 56k is movable, it is possible to make it interesting to speculate on future development of the game. In this way, along with the start of the unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, not only the display color of the second continuous number image GB, the movement of the first board movable body 55k, the emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60, but also the second board movement The movement of the body 56k makes it possible for the player to be uplifted and entertained.

7. Operation of Game Control Microcomputer 101 [Main Control Main Processing] Next, the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that counters, timers, flags, statuses, buffers, etc. appearing in the explanation of the operation of the game control microcomputer 101 are provided in the game RAM 104 . The game control microcomputer 101 provided on the game control board 100 reads and executes the main control main processing program shown in FIG. 21 from the game ROM 103 when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on. As shown in the figure, in the main control main process, initial setting is first performed (step S001). In the initial settings, for example, stack setting, constant setting, interrupt time setting, game CPU 102 setting, SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time) setting, various flags, status and counters, etc. reset, etc. The initial value of the flag is "0" or "OFF", the initial value of the status is "1", and the initial value of the counter is "0". Note that the initial setting (S001) is executed only once after the power is turned on, and is not executed thereafter.

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

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

[Main Side Timer Interrupt Processing] Next, the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) will be described. As shown in FIG. 22, in the main side timer interrupt process (S005), first, the output process (S101) is executed. In the output process (S101), commands set in the output buffer provided in the game RAM 104 of the game control board 100 in each process described below are output to the effect control board 120, the payout control board 170, and the like.

In the input process (S102) that follows the output process (S101), various sensors (first start sensor 11a, second start sensor 12a, gate sensor 13a, big prize The detection signals detected by the mouth sensor 14a, the general winning mouth sensor 10a (see FIG. 7), etc. are read and stored (set) in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 as winning ball information. Also, a detection signal from the lower tray full switch for detecting the fullness of the lower tray 35 is taken in and stored in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 as lower tray full data.

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

After normal design/special design main random number update process (S103), sensor detection process (S104), normal operation process (S105), and special operation process (S106), which will be described later, are executed. Thereafter, other processing (S107) is executed, and the main side timer interrupt processing (S005) ends. As other processing (S107), based on the number of special-figure 2 reserved balls described later, the second special-figure reservation display 83b is controlled to a display mode indicating the number, or based on the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls described later. It controls the display mode which shows the number of the 1st special figure reservation indicator 83a. Then, the processing of steps S002 to S004 of the main control main processing is repeatedly executed until the next interrupt pulse is input to the game CPU 102 (see FIG. 21), and when the interrupt pulse is input (after about 4 msec), The main side timer interrupt processing (S005) is executed again. In the output processing (S101) of the main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) executed again, the commands set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 in the previous main-side timer interrupt processing (S005) are output.

[Sensor Detection Processing] As shown in FIG. 23, in the sensor detection processing (S104), first, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the gate 13, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the gate sensor 13a. S201). If the game ball has passed through the gate 13 (YES in S201), a gate passage process, which will be described later, is performed (S202). On the other hand, if the game ball has not passed through the gate 13 (NO in S201), the process skips the gate passing process (S202) and proceeds to step S203.

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

Then special figure 2 relation random number acquisition processing is done (S206). In the special figure 2 random number acquisition process (S206), the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A), the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS), the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC) and fluctuation Acquire the pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (that is, acquire the random value group shown in FIG. 10 (A)), and store the acquired random values in the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b of the current special figure 2 Stored in the storage area of the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b corresponding to the number of reservation balls.

Subsequently, in the sensor detection process (S104), it is determined whether or not the game ball has entered the first starting hole 11, that is, whether or not the game ball has been detected by the first starting hole sensor 11a (S207). When the game ball has not won the first start port 11 (NO in S207), the process is finished, but when the game ball has won the first start port 11 (YES in S207), the special figure 1 is reserved. Whether the number of balls (the number of the first special figure reservation, specifically the numerical value of the counter that counts the number of the first special figure reservation provided in the game RAM 104) has reached "4" (upper limit storage number) Judge (S208). Then, if the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls has reached "4" (YES in S208), the process ends, but if the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls is less than "4" (NO in S208) ), and add "1" to the number of special-figure 1 reserved balls (S209).

Subsequently, special figure 1 related random number acquisition processing (S210) is performed, and this processing ends. In the special figure 1 related random number acquisition process (S210), like the special figure 2 related random number acquisition process (S206), the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A), the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS) , Obtain the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC) and the fluctuation pattern random number counter value (label-TRND-T1) (that is, obtain the random value group shown in FIG. 10 (A)), and obtain the obtained random value It is stored in the storage area of the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a corresponding to the current number of special figure 1 reservation balls among the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a.

[Gate Passing Process] As shown in FIG. 24, in the gate passing process (S202), the number of normal pattern reserved balls (the number of normal pattern reservations, specifically a counter that counts the number of normal pattern reservations provided in the game RAM 104 value) is 4 or more (S301), and if the number of normal design reserved balls is 4 or more (YES in S301), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the number of normal design reserved balls is not 4 or more (NO in S301), "1" is added to the number of normal design reserved balls (S302), and normal design random number acquisition processing is performed (S303). In the normal symbol random number acquisition process (S303), the normal symbol random number counter value (label-TRND-H value, see FIG. 9(B)) is acquired, and the acquired random value is stored in the normal symbol reservation storage unit 106 of the game RAM 104. Among them, it is stored in a storage area corresponding to the current number of normal design reserved balls.

[Normal Operation Processing] The game control microcomputer 101 performs sensor detection processing (S104) and then normal operation processing (S105) (see FIG. 22). As shown in FIG. 25, in the normal operation process (S105), first, it is determined whether or not the power chew 12D is in operation (S401). If the electric chew 12D is not in operation (NO in S401), then it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is stopped (S402). If the normal symbols are not being stopped and displayed (NO in S402), then it is determined whether or not the normal symbols are being displayed in a variable manner (S403). If the variable display of normal symbols is not in progress (NO in S403), then it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of normal symbols is "0" (S404). If the number of reserved balls in the normal design is "0" (YES in S404), this process ends.

In step S404, if the number of reserved balls of normal symbols is not "0" (NO in S404), hit determination processing is performed (S405). In the hit determination process (S405), the normal symbol random number counter value (label-TRND-H value) stored in the normal pattern reservation storage unit 106 is read, and the normal symbol hit determination table shown in FIG. 11(C) is used. It is determined whether it hits or not. Then, a pattern determination process is performed to set the normal pattern stop pattern data according to the result of the hit determination in a predetermined storage area of the game RAM 104 (S406). In other words, in the symbol determination process (S406), if it is "losing", data corresponding to "general figure losing symbol" is set, and if "hitting", data corresponding to "normal winning symbol" is set.

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

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

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

Also, in the above-described step S402, if the stop display of the normal design is in progress (YES in S402), then, it is determined whether or not the stop time of the normal design set in step S414 has passed (S415). If not, terminate the process. On the other hand, if it has passed (YES in S415), it is determined whether or not the normal pattern stop pattern data of the normal winning pattern is set (S416), and if it is not the data of the normal winning pattern (that is, if it is not a hit (NO in S416)), and this process ends. On the other hand, if it is normal winning pattern data (that is, if it is winning (YES in S416)), the opening pattern of electric chew 12D is set (S417). Specifically, if it is in the time saving state, the opening pattern during the time saving state (see the electric chew open TBL2 in FIG. 13) is set as the opening pattern of the electric chew 12D. On the other hand, if it is in the non-time-saving state, the open pattern (see electric-tube open TBL1 in FIG. 13) during the non-time-saving state is set as the open pattern of the electric chew 12D. Then, according to the opening pattern set in step S417, the electric chew 12D is operated (S418).

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

[Special Action Processing] After the normal action processing (S105), the game control microcomputer 101 performs special action processing (S106) (see FIG. 22). As shown in FIG. 26, in the special operation process (S106), the processing relating to the special figure display 81 and the big winning device 14D is divided into four stages, and "special operation statuses 1, 2, 3, 4" are added to each stage. are assigned. Then, when the "special action status" is "1" (YES in S1301), the game control microcomputer 101 performs special symbol standby processing (S1302), and the "special action status" is "2". In case (NO in S1301, YES in S1303), special symbol fluctuation processing (S1304) is performed, and if "special operation status" is "3" (NO in S1301, S1303, YES in S1305) , Special symbol determination processing (S1306) is performed, and when the "special action status" is "4" (S1301, S1303, S1305 are all NO), special electric accessary product processing (S1307) is performed. Note that the special operation status is "1" by default.

[Special Symbol Standby Processing] As shown in FIG. 27, in the special symbol standby processing (S1302), first, whether or not the number of reserved balls of the second starting port 12 (that is, the number of special figure 2 reserved balls) is "0". is determined (S1401). If the special figure 2 reserved ball number is "0" (YES in S1401), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the second start port 12, the first start It is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls of mouth 11 (that is, the number of reserved balls of special figure 1) is "0" (S1407). And, if the number of special figure 1 reserved balls is also "0" (YES in S1407), that is, if there is no memory of the random number counter value group acquired due to the winning of the first start port 11, the customer It is determined whether or not the wait flag is ON (S1415). If it is ON (YES at S1415), this process is terminated, and if it is not ON (NO at S1415), the customer waiting command is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 (S1416), and the customer waiting flag is turned ON ( S1417), this processing ends.

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

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

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

[Special figure 2 jackpot determination process (special figure 1 jackpot determination process)] Special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402) and special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408) have the same processing flow, so based on FIG. will be explained together. As shown in FIG. 28, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402) or the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), first, as the determination value, the jackpot random number counter value (label-TRND-A value) is read (S1501 ). Specifically, in the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (S1402), in the first storage area of the second special figure reservation storage unit 105b of the game RAM 104 (that is, the storage area corresponding to the first second special figure reservation) Read out the stored jackpot random number counter value. Also, in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process (S1408), the first special figure reservation storage unit 105a of the game RAM 104 is stored in the first storage area (that is, the storage area corresponding to the first item of the first special figure reservation). Read the jackpot random number counter value.

Next, the jackpot determination table (see FIG. 11A) is set (S1502). Next, it is determined whether or not the probability variation flag is ON, that is, whether or not the state is a high probability state (S1503). Then, if it is not a high probability state (NO in S1503), that is, if it is a normal probability state (non-high probability state), the table for non-high probability state (jackpot Judgment value is "1" to "210"), it is judged whether it is a big hit or not (S1504). On the other hand, if it is in a high probability state (YES in S1503), a big hit based on the table for the high probability state (jackpot judgment value is "1" to "1660") out of the big hit judgment table (see FIG. 11 (A)) (S1505).

If the result of the jackpot determination (S1504, S1505) is "jackpot", the hit type random number counter value (label-TRND-AS value) is read, and the hit type is determined based on the hit type determination table shown in FIG. (S1506). After determining the hit type (S1506), the jackpot flag is turned ON (S1507), and the special figure stop pattern data (see FIG. 9) corresponding to the hit type is set in the hit type buffer provided in the game RAM 104. (S1508) to finish the process. On the other hand, if the result of the big hit determination (S1504, S1505) is "losing", the special figure stop design data (01H) corresponding to the losing design is set (S1508) and the process ends.

[Special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (special figure 1 variation pattern selection process)] Special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403) and special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409) Because the flow of processing is the same A collective description will be given with reference to FIGS. 29 and 30. FIG. As shown in FIG. 29, the special figure 2 variation pattern selection process (S1403) or the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process (S1409) first determines whether the gaming state is a time saving state (whether the time saving flag is ON). (S1601).

If it is not a time saving state (NO in S1601), that is, if it is a non time saving state, then it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is ON (S1602). If it is ON (YES in S1602), with reference to the non-time-saving state jackpot normal table (part corresponding to the non-time-saving state and jackpot of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12), the fluctuation pattern random number counter value A variation pattern is selected based on (label-TRND-value of T1) (S1603). As shown in FIG. 11, when the variation pattern is determined, the variation time is also determined.

In step S1602 shown in FIG. 29, if the jackpot flag is not ON, it is determined whether or not the reach random number counter value (label-TRND-RC value) is a reach establishment random value (S1604). In addition, as shown in FIG. 10(B), the reach establishment random number is "1" to "30" if it is a non-time saving state, and is "1" to "10" if it is a time saving state. That is, the time-saving state is less likely to reach when losing than the non-time-saving state. This is in order to speed up the digestion speed of the special figure pending by making it possible to select more short reach no loss with short fluctuation time in the time saving state.

If the reach random number counter value is a reach establishment random number value (YES in S1604), that is, in the case of reach loss, there is reach loss table during non-time saving state (non-out of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12 With reference to time saving state and part corresponding to loss with reach), a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1605).

On the other hand, if the reach random number counter value is not a reach establishment random value (NO in S1604), that is, in the case of reach no loss, the reach no loss table during the non-time saving state (out of the special figure fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12 The part corresponding to the non-time-saving state and reach-less loss) is referred to, and the variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value (S1606). At the time of loss without reach, the function of shortening variation according to the number of held balls works. That is, when the number of reserved balls in the special design is "3" or "4", a variation pattern with a shorter fluctuation time than when the number of reserved balls in the special design is "0" to "2" is selected. (See FIG. 11).

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

That is, if it is a jackpot, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value by referring to the portion corresponding to the jackpot in the time saving state of FIG. 12 (S1608). In addition, if there is a reach loss, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value by referring to the part corresponding to the time saving state in FIG. 12 and the loss with reach (S1610). Moreover, if it is a reach-less loss, a variation pattern is selected based on the variation pattern random number counter value by referring to the portion corresponding to the reach-less loss in the time saving state of FIG. 12 (S1611).

In addition, in the special figure variation pattern determination table in the time saving state (the part corresponding to the time saving state of the special figure variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 12), the function of shortening variation according to the number of pending balls when there is no reach It works when the number of held balls is "2" to "4". That is, shortening variation is more likely to be selected than during the non-time saving state. In addition, the fluctuation time as shortening fluctuation is shorter during the time saving state than during the non-working time saving state. That is, the special figure variation pattern determination table in the time saving state is a table such that the variation time is shorter than the special figure variation pattern determination table in the non time saving state.

After selecting the variation pattern as described above, as shown in FIG. 29, the selected variation pattern is set (S1612), and this process ends. Information on the variation pattern set in step S1612 is included in the variation start command set in step S1406 or S1412 in the special symbol standby process (S1302), and sent to the effect control board 120 by the output process (S101).

[Special symbol fluctuation process] As shown in FIG. 31, in the special symbol fluctuation process (S1304), first, the special symbol fluctuation time (variation time determined according to the fluctuation pattern selected in step S1403 or S1409, FIG. 11 See) has passed (S1801). If it has not elapsed (NO in S1801), this process is terminated immediately. As a result, the variable display of the special symbols is continued.

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

[Special symbol determination process] As shown in FIG. 32, in the special symbol determination process (S1306), first, the special symbol stop time (stop time determined according to the variation pattern selected in step S1403 or S1409, see FIG. 11) (S1901). If it has not elapsed (NO in S1901), this process is terminated immediately. As a result, the stop display of the special symbols is continued. On the other hand, if the stop time has elapsed (YES in S1901), a game state management process, which will be described later, is performed (S1902).

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

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

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

[Playing State Management Processing] As shown in FIG. 33, in the playing state management processing (S1902), first, it is determined whether or not the variable probability flag is ON (S2001). If it is ON (YES in S2001), the value of the probability variation counter that counts the number of variations of the special symbols executed during the high probability state is decremented by 1 (S2002), and whether the value of the probability variation counter is "0" Judge (S2003). If it is "0" (YES in S2003), the variable probability flag is turned OFF (S2004), and the process proceeds to step S2005. If the determination result of step S2001 or S2003 is NO, the process immediately proceeds to step S2009.

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

[Special Electric Accessory Process (Big Win Game)] As shown in FIG. 34, in the special electric accessary process (S1307), first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot end flag is ON (S2201). The jackpot end flag is a flag indicating that the opening of the jackpot 14 has been completed in the jackpot game being executed.

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

If the determination result in step S2203 is NO, the process ends. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S2203 is YES, the big winning opening 14 is opened according to the opening pattern (see FIG. 9) corresponding to the type of big win (S2204).

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

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

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

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

Also, if the jackpot end flag is ON in step S2201 (YES in S2201), the final round has ended, so it is determined whether or not the jackpot ending time has elapsed (S2214). If the ending time has not passed (NO in S2214), the process ends. On the other hand, if the ending time has passed (YES in S2214), the jackpot end flag is turned OFF (S2215), the jackpot flag is turned OFF (S2216), and the special action status is set to "1" (S2217). As a result, in the next main timer interrupt process (S005), the special symbol waiting process (S1302) is executed again as the special action process (see FIG. 18). After that, a game state setting process (S2218), which will be described later, is performed, and this process ends.

[Playing State Setting Processing] As shown in FIG. 35, in the gaming state setting processing (S2218), first, the type of jackpot is a probability variable jackpot (stop pattern is special figure 1_jackpot pattern 1 or special figure 2_jackpot pattern 1, see FIG. 8) ) (S2301). If it is not a probability variable jackpot (NO in S2301), the time saving flag is turned ON (S2306), the time saving counter is set to "100" (S2307), and the process proceeds to step S2308. As a result, the game state after the big hit game this time becomes the normal probability state, time saving state and high base state (that is, low probability high base state). This low-probability-high base state ends when either condition is established that the variable display of the special symbol is performed 100 times or that the next jackpot is won.

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

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

8. Operation of Effect Control Microcomputer 121 [Sub Control Main Processing] Next, the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that counters, timers, flags, statuses, buffers, etc. appearing in the description of the operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 are provided in the effect RAM 124 . The effect control microcomputer 121 provided in the effect control board 120 reads out and executes the sub-control main processing program shown in FIG. 36 from the effect ROM 123 when the pachinko game machine PY1 is powered on. As shown in the figure, in the sub-control main processing, CPU initialization processing is first performed (S4001). In CPU initialization processing (S4001), stack setting, constant setting, setting of CPU 122 for effect, setting of SIO, PIO, CTC (circuit for managing interrupt time), etc. are performed.

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

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

When the random number seed update process (S4005) ends, the command transmission process is executed (S4006). In the command transmission process ( S4006 ), various commands stored in the output buffer in the performance RAM 124 of the performance control board 120 are transmitted to the image control board 140 . The image control board 140 that has received the command executes various effects (variation effect, opening effect associated with the jackpot game, round effect, ending effect, etc.) using the image display device 50 according to the command. In addition, along with the execution of various effects by the image control board 140, the effect control board 120 outputs sound from the speaker 610 via the sound control board 161, or outputs the on-board movable device lamp 60 via the sub-drive board 162. , the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp 212 are caused to emit light, and the on-board movable device 55 and the under-board movable device 56 are driven. The effect control microcomputer 121 subsequently permits an interrupt (S4007). Thereafter, steps S4004 to S4007 are looped. While interrupts are enabled, reception interrupt processing (S4008), 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009), and 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) can be executed.

[Receiving interrupt processing] Receiving interrupt processing (S4008) is performed based on the strobe signal (STB signal) sent from the game control board 100 being input to the external INT input section of the effect control microcomputer 121. That is, unless the strobe signal is input to the external INT input section of the effect control microcomputer 121, the reception interrupt process (S4008) is not performed. As shown in FIG. 37, in the reception interrupt process (S4008), various commands transmitted from the game control board 100 are stored in the reception buffer of the effect RAM 124 (S4101). This reception interrupt process (S4008) is a process that is executed with priority over other interrupt processes (S4009, S4010).

[1 ms timer interrupt processing] 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009) is executed each time an interrupt pulse of 1 msec cycle is input to the effect control board 120. As shown in FIG. 38, in the 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009), first, input processing (S4201) is performed. In the input process (S4201), switch data (edge data and level data) is created based on detection signals from the input detection sensor 40a (see FIG. 8) and the select button detection sensor 42a.

Subsequently, lamp data output processing (S4202) is performed. In the lamp data output process (S4202), in other processes (S4305) in the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S4010) described later, in order to light the on-board movable device lamp 60, the board lamp 54, and the frame lamp 212 at a timing that matches the effect The created lamp data is output to the sub-drive board 162 . That is, the on-board movable device lamp 60, the board lamp 54, and the frame lamp 212 are caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the lamp data.

Next, drive control processing is performed (S4203). In the drive control process (S4203), drive data (board movable body drive data) is created in order to drive the board movable device 55 and the board movable device 56 at the timing that matches the performance such as SP reach and jackpot performance. output. That is, the on-board movable device 55 and the under-board movable device 56 are driven in a predetermined operation mode according to the drive data.

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

[10 ms timer interrupt processing] 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4010) is executed each time an interrupt pulse with a period of 10 msec is input to the effect control board 120. As shown in FIG. 39, in the 10ms timer interrupt process (S4010), first, a received command analysis process, which will be described later, is performed (S4301).

Subsequently, switch state acquisition processing is performed to store the switch data created in the input processing (S4201) of the 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009) in the effect RAM 124 as switch data for the 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S4302). Then, based on the switch data stored in the switch state acquisition process (S4302), the switch process for setting the display contents of the display screen 50a is performed (S4303).

Subsequently, voice control processing (S4304) is performed. In the audio control process (S4304), audio data (data for controlling the output of audio from the speaker 610) is created, output to the audio control board 161, time management of audio production, and the like are performed. As a result, the speaker 610 outputs a sound that matches the performance to be executed. Then, other processing such as updating random numbers for various effects is executed (S4305), and this processing ends.

[Received Command Analysis Processing] As shown in FIG. 40, in the received command analysis processing (S4301), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not a game state designation command is received from the game control board 100 (S4401). ), and if received, mode status setting processing is performed (S4402). In the mode status setting process (S4402), the received game state designation command is analyzed, and the value of the mode status is set based on the game state information included in the game state designation command. The value of the mode status is set to "1" if it is a normal game state, is set to "2" if it is a high probability high base state, and is set to "3" if it is a low probability short time state. In this way, the effect control microcomputer 121 can grasp the current game state.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a variation start command (special figure 1 variation start command or special figure 2 variation start command) is received from the game control board 100 (S4403), and if received Variation production start processing, which will be described later, is performed (S4404).

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a fluctuation stop command (special figure 1 fluctuation stop command or special figure 2 fluctuation stop command) is received from the game control board 100 (S4405), and if received Fluctuation production end processing is performed (S4406). In the fluctuation production end processing (S4406), the fluctuation stop command is analyzed, and based on the analysis result, the fluctuation production end command for ending the fluctuation production is set in the output buffer of the production RAM124.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not an opening command is received from the game control board 100 (S4407), and if received, performs an opening effect selection process (S4408). In the opening effect selection process (S4408), the opening command is analyzed, and based on the analysis result, the pattern (contents) of the opening effect to be executed during the opening of the jackpot game is selected. Then, an opening performance start command for starting the opening performance with the selected opening performance pattern is set in the output buffer of the RAM 124 for performance.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not a round designation command is received from the game control board 100 (S4409), and if received, performs a round effect selection process (S4410). In the round effect selection process (S4410), the round designation command is analyzed, and based on the analysis result, the pattern (contents) of the round effect to be executed during the round game of the jackpot game is selected. Then, a round effect start command for starting the round effect in the selected round effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the RAM 124 for effect.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not an ending command is received from the game control board 100 (S4411), and if received, performs ending effect selection processing (S4412). In the ending effect selection process (S4412), the ending command is analyzed, and based on the analysis result, the pattern (contents) of the ending effect to be executed during the ending of the jackpot game is selected. Then, an ending effect start command for starting the ending effect with the selected ending effect pattern is set in the output buffer of the RAM 124 for effect.

Subsequently, the production control microcomputer 121 performs other processing (S4413) based on received commands other than the above commands (for example, processing for performing customer waiting production based on the reception of the customer waiting command, normal symbol fluctuation Processing for performing normal figure fluctuation production based on the reception of the start command) is performed, and the received command analysis processing (S4301) is finished.

[Variation Production Start Processing] As shown in FIG. 41, in the variation production start processing (S4404), the production control microcomputer 121 first analyzes the fluctuation start command (S4501). In the variation start command, the information of the special figure stop pattern data set in the special figure 1 jackpot determination process and the special figure 2 jackpot determination process (see FIG. 28), the special figure 1 variation pattern selection process and the special figure 2 variation pattern It contains information on the variation pattern set in the selection process (see FIGS. 29 and 30), information specifying the current game state, and the like. In addition, the information which the microcomputer 121 for production|presentation control acquired here can be suitably utilized also in the process performed after this.

Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 refers to the mode status value currently set (S4502). Subsequently, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to be finally stopped and displayed in the variable performance are selected (S4503). Specifically, a random number for determining the performance symbol is acquired, and one table is selected from among a plurality of tables classified according to the presence or absence of reach based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command. Then, a performance symbol is selected by determining the acquired performance symbol determination random number using the selected table. As a result, a combination (for example, "777", etc.) of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to be finally stopped and displayed is determined.

Subsequently, the production control microcomputer 121 executes a fluctuation production pattern selection process which will be described later (S4504). And the notice effect selection process is executed (S4506). In the notice effect selection process (S4506), a random number for deciding the notice effect is obtained, and one table is selected based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command from among a plurality of tables classified according to the presence or absence of reach. do. Then, the selected table is used to determine the obtained random number for determining the announcement effect, thereby selecting the announcement effect. As a result, the content of the notice effect such as a so-called step-up notice effect or a chance-up notice effect is determined.

After that, the variable production start command for starting the selected production pattern, the variable production pattern, and the advance notice production is set in the output buffer of the production RAM 124 (S4507), and this processing is finished. When the variable effect start command set in step S4507 is transmitted to the image control board 140 by the command transmission process (S4006), the variable effect synchronized with the variable display of the special symbol is started on the display screen 50a.

[Variable effect pattern selection process] As shown in Fig. 42, in the variable effect pattern selection process (S4504), the effect control microcomputer 121 first acquires a variable effect pattern lottery random number (S4601). Note that the variable effect pattern lottery random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. Subsequently, based on the analysis result of the variation start command, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern indicates one execution of the pseudo series (S4602). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not there are variation patterns P7 to P8, P27 to P28, P31 to P32, and P41 to P46.

If the variation pattern does not execute one pseudo-run (NO in S4602), then it is determined whether or not the variation pattern indicates two pseudo-runs (S4603). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not there are variation patterns P4 to P6 and P24 to P26. If the variation pattern is to execute the pseudo-continuation twice (YES in S4603), the variation performance pattern is selected using the variation performance pattern selection table for the pseudo-continuation twice (S4604), and this process is completed, step Proceed to S4505.

Here, in step S4604, when the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P4 or the variation pattern P24 is selected, in the variation effect based on the lottery of one special symbol, "Pseudo consecutive 2 times + normal reach + first board "Movable body presentation + strong SP reach" is executed. As described above, the strong SP reach is set to have the highest winning expectation among the two types of SP reach (weak SP reach and strong SP reach). Further, when the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P4 or the variation pattern P24 is selected, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed with the start of the second unit period in the pseudo consecutive two times. In the continuation number suggesting effect of the present embodiment, a first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") shown in a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. As a result, it is possible to let the player know that the second unit period of the pseudo-continuous effect will start, and at the same time, let the player know that the winning expectation is higher than in the case of the first unit period. Also, at the start of the second unit period in the second pseudo-continuation, the first board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k is executed, and in the first board movable body effect, the on-board movable device lamp 60 turns blue.

As described above, of the two types of SP reach (weak SP reach and strong SP reach), the weak SP reach is set to have the next highest winning expectation after the strong SP reach. Further, when the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P5 or the variation pattern P25 is selected, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed with the start of the second unit period in the pseudo consecutive two times. In the continuation number suggesting effect of the present embodiment, a first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") shown in a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. Also, at the start of the second unit period in the second pseudo-continuation, the first board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k is executed, and in the first board movable body effect, the on-board movable device lamp 60 turns blue. It will be lit in the luminescent color.

Here, in step S4604, when a variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P6 or the variation pattern P26 is selected, in the variation production based on the lottery of one special symbol, Effect + normal reach" will be executed. As described above, normal reach is set to have a lower winning expectation than SP reach (weak SP reach, strong SP reach). Further, when the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P6 or the variation pattern P26 is selected, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed with the start of the second unit period in the pseudo consecutive two times. In the continuation number suggesting effect of the present embodiment, a first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") shown in a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a.

As shown in FIG. 12, the variation patterns in which three pseudo runs are performed are the variation patterns P1 to P3 and P21 to P23.

Here in step S4605, if the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21 based on the variation pattern P21 is selected, in the variation performance based on one special symbol lottery, "Pseudo consecutive 3 times + normal reach + 1st board "Movable Body Effect + Strong SP Reach" is executed. Note that when the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21 is selected, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed with the start of the second unit period in the pseudo consecutive three times. In the continuation number suggesting effect of the present embodiment, a first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") shown in a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. As a result, it is possible to let the player know that the second unit period of the pseudo-continuous effect will start, and at the same time, let the player know that the winning expectation is higher than in the case of the first unit period. Also, at the start of the second unit period in the second pseudo-continuation, the first board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k is executed, and in the first board movable body effect, the on-board movable device lamp 60 turns blue. It will be lit in the luminescent color. Further, with the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed. In the continuation number suggesting effect of the present embodiment, a second continuation number image GB (character image of "3rd time") shown in a green display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. As a result, it is possible to let the player know that the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect will start, and to know that the winning expectation is higher than in the case of the second unit period. Also, at the start of the third unit period in the 3rd simulated series, the first board movable body effect is executed, and in the first board movable body effect, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in a red emission color. . Therefore, the combination of the display color (green) of the second continuous count image GB (character image of "3rd time") and the emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 in the first board movable body production is expected to win It is possible for the user to grasp that the degree is very high (see FIG. 12).

Here, in step S4605, when the variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P2 or the variation pattern P22 is selected, in the variation production based on the lottery of one special symbol, "Pseudo consecutive 3 times + normal reach + 2nd board "Movable body presentation + strong SP reach" is executed. When the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P2 or the variation pattern P22 is selected, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed with the start of the second unit period in the pseudo consecutive three times. In the continuation number suggesting effect, a first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") shown in a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. Also, at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the first board movable body effect is executed, and in the first board movable body effect, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in a blue emission color. . Further, with the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed. In the continuation number suggesting effect of the present embodiment, a second continuation number image GB (character image of "3rd time") shown in a green display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. As a result, it is possible to let the player know that the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect will start, and at the same time, let the player know that the winning expectation is higher than in the case of the second unit period. Also, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, a second board movable body effect using the first board movable body 55k and the second board movable body 56k is executed. The upper mobile lamp 60 will be illuminated with a green emission color. As a result, the display color (green) of the second continuation number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the light emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 do not match at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs. In this case, it is possible to grasp that the degree of expectation for winning is next highest (see FIG. 12).

Here, in step S4605, if the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 based on the variation pattern P23 is selected, in the variation performance based on one special symbol lottery, "Pseudo consecutive 3 times + normal reach + 1st board "Movable Body Effect + Weak SP Reach" is executed. Note that when the variation effect pattern based on the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 is selected, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed with the start of the second unit period in the pseudo consecutive three times. Note that in the continuation number suggesting effect, a first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time") shown in a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. Also, at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the first board movable body effect is executed, and in the first board movable body effect, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in a blue emission color. . Further, with the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the continuation number suggesting effect is executed. Note that in the continuation number suggesting effect, a second continuation number image GB (character image of "3rd time") shown in a green display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. As a result, it is possible to let the player know that the third unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect will start, and at the same time, let the player know that the winning expectation is higher than in the case of the second unit period. Also, at the start of the third unit period in the 3rd simulated series, the first board movable body effect is executed, and in the first board movable body effect, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in a green emission color. . Therefore, by combining the display color (green) of the second continuation count image GB (character image of "third time") and the emission color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 in the first board movable body production, the second The display color (green) of the continuation number image GB (character image of "third time") and the emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 in the first board movable body presentation do not match, and the second continuation It is possible for the player to understand that the expectation of winning is lower than when the number-of-times image GB is displayed on the display screen 50a and the second board movable body effect is executed (see FIG. 12).

Also, in step S4602, when it is determined that it is one pseudo-continuation (YES in S4602), a variation effect pattern is selected using another table (S4606), this processing is finished, and the process proceeds to step S4505. The other table is a variation performance pattern selection table other than the variation performance pattern selection table for pseudo-continuation twice and the variation performance pattern selection table for pseudo-continuation three times. A table is selected based on the analysis result of the variable start command. Then, using the selected table, by determining the acquired variable effect pattern lottery random number, to select a variable effect pattern (S4606). As a result, the details of the variable effects such as "1 pseudo run + normal reach + weak SP reach" and "1 pseudo run + normal" are determined. Once the variable production pattern is determined in this way, the time of the variable production, the variable display mode of the production pattern, the presence or absence of the reach production, the contents of the reach production, the presence or absence of the production button production (SW production), the contents of the production button production, the production development configuration, The details of the content of the variable production, such as the type of background of the production pattern, are determined.

9. Effect of the first form As described above in detail, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present form, the unit started with the start of the unit period (second unit period, third unit period) in the pseudo continuous effect In some cases, a continuous number of times suggestion effect that suggests a period and also suggests the degree of winning expectation is executed (FIGS. 12, 14(A), 17(D-1), 18(D-1), FIG. 19 (D-1), see FIG. 20 (D-1)). In the continuation number suggesting effect of the present embodiment, the continuation number image (first continuation number image GA, second continuation number image GB) displayed on the display screen 50a differs according to the unit period in the pseudo continuous effect. (See FIGS. 12, 14(A), 17(D-1), 18(D-1), 19(D-1), and 20(D-1)). Also, at the start of the unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, there are cases where board movable body effects (first board movable body effect, second board movable body effect) are executed (FIGS. 12, 17 (D-1), FIG. 18 (D-1), FIG. 19 (D-1), and FIG. 20 (D-1)). In this embodiment, the on-board movable device lamp 60 provided on the on-board movable device 55 is turned on with the start of the movable-board production (first-board movable-body production, second-board movable-body production). Become. In this embodiment, the emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 differs according to the unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect (FIGS. 12, 14(B), 17(D-1), and 18( D-1), FIG. 19 (D-1), and FIG. 20 (D-1)). In the board movable body presentation (first board movable body presentation, second board movable body presentation), it is possible to suggest the degree of expectation for winning by the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 . And in this form, when the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 is selected when it is a non-time-saving state, pseudo consecutive 3 times is performed. The display color (green) of the second continuation number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the display color (green) of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 of the present embodiment The emission color (green) of the mobile device lamp 60 will match (see FIGS. 12 and 18 (D-1)). Also when the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21 is selected in the non-time saving state, three pseudo-continuations are executed. However, at the start of the third unit period in the pseudo consecutive three times based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, the display color (green) of the second continuation number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a. The emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 is inconsistent (see FIGS. 12 and 20 (D-1)). As a result, at the start of the unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, not only the second continuous count image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the movable first board movable body 55k, but also the display color of the second continuous count image GB and the board It is also possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the luminescent colors of the upper movable device lamps 60 match. Therefore, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, it is based on whether or not the display color of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a matches the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60. In addition, it is possible to make the player guess the future development of the game. In this way, even when the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs is started, the display color of the second continuous number image GB and the emission color of the on-board mobile device lamp 60 at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs By using , it is possible to provide the player with an interesting and innovative presentation.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, at the start of the third unit period in the pseudo consecutive three times, the display color (green) of the second consecutive number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the on-board movable device lamp 60 (see FIGS. 12, 16(B), and 20(D-1)), the display screen 50a displays than when the display color (green) of the displayed second continuation number image GB and the emission color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 match (FIGS. 12, 16 (A), 18 (D-1 )), and is set so that the expectation of winning the jackpot is high (see FIG. 12). As a result, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color (green) of the second continuation number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 are the same. If they do not match, it is possible to make the player understand that there is a high possibility of winning the jackpot. Therefore, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color of the second continuous number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 can be made more noticeable. . In this way, not only does the third unit period start in the pseudo continuous effect, but also the display color of the second consecutive number image GB displayed on the display screen 50a and the on-board movable device at the start of the third unit period. It is possible to make the player pay attention to whether or not the luminous colors of the lamps 60 match, and to enjoy the pseudo-continuous effect.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the present embodiment, as the first stage, the first continuous number image GA shown in blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a with the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs. (See FIGS. 12, 14(A), 16 and 17(D-1)). Next, with the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, as the second step, a second continuous number image GB shown in green is displayed on the display screen 50a. Also, at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, as the first step, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in a blue emission color, and the first-board movable body presentation is executed (Fig. 12, 14(B), 16, and 17(D-1)). Next, at the start of the third unit period in three simulated runs, as the second stage, the on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in a green or red emission color, and the first-board movable body presentation is executed (Fig. 12, FIG. 14(B), FIG. 16, FIG. 18(D-1), FIG. 20(D-1)). As a result, the display color (blue) of the first continuation number image GA and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 match at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs (Fig. 12, Fig. 14 (B), FIGS. 15, 16, and 17 (D-1)), at the start of the next third unit period, the display color of the second continuous count image GB and the emission color of the on-board mobile device lamp 60 match (see FIGS. 12, 14 (B), 16, and 18 (D-1)) and do not match (see FIGS. 12, 14 (B), 16, and 20 (D-1 )) can be provided to the player. Therefore, although it cannot be grasped in the second unit period of three pseudo-runs, it is possible to grasp whether the winning expectation is very high at the start of the third unit period of three pseudo-runs. In this way, it is possible to make the player interested in the display color of the number-of-continuations image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60, and to enjoy the game.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color (blue) of the first continuous number image GA and the emission color (blue) of the on-board mobile device lamp 60 matches (see FIGS. 12, 14(B), 15, 16, and 17(D-1)), but at the start of the next third unit period, the display color of the second continuation number image GB and When the emission colors of the on-board movable device lamps 60 match (see FIGS. 12, 14 (B), 15, 16, 18 (D-1), and 19 (D-1)), they do not match Cases (see FIGS. 12, 14(B), 15, 16, and 20(D-1)) can be provided to the player. As a result, in the second unit period of the pseudo-continuous performance, the player is made to guess that the winning expectation is higher than in the first unit period, and at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-continuous performances, the second continuous number image is displayed. Whether or not the display color of the GB matches the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 can give the player an uplifting feeling. Therefore, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the winning expectation is estimated based on whether or not the display color of the second continuous number image GB matches the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60. This makes it possible to entertain future game developments.

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

<Second form>
In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the first form, the display color of the continuation number image (first continuation number image GA, second continuation number image GB) displayed on the display screen 50a at the start of the unit period in the pseudo continuous effect 12, 14 (B), 15, 16, 17 (D-1), 18 (D-1 )), the display color of the continuation count image (first continuation count image GA, second continuation count image GB) displayed on the display screen 50a matches the emission color of the on-board mobile device lamp 60 of the on-board mobile device 55. There were cases where it was not (see FIGS. 12, 14(B), 15, 16, and 20(D-1)). As a result, it is possible to give the player an impression of a common winning expectation or an impression of a non-common winning expectation. On the other hand, in the second form, when the variation production based on one special symbol lottery is started, the awakening chance production is executed. In the awakening chance production, the awakening aura images displayed on the display screen 50a (first awakening aura image KTA (blue), second awakening aura image KTB (green), third awakening aura image KTC (red), fourth awakening aura image When the display color of the aura image KTD (gold) and the emission color (blue, green, red) of the input unit lamp 40La provided in the effect button 40k match (the effect mode shown in the first suggestive effect and the second suggestive effect ) and the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a (first awakening aura image KTA (effect mode), second awakening aura image KTB (effect mode), third awakening aura image When the display color of the KTC (effect mode), the fourth awakening aura image KTD (effect mode) does not match the emission color of the input lamp 40La provided for the effect button 40k (the effect mode shown in the first suggestive effect and the 2 when the expectation mode shown in the suggestive effect does not correspond) (see FIGS. 44 and 46 to 50). As a result, it is possible to give the player an impression of a common expectation of winning, or an impression of not a common expectation of winning.

A second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 to 51. FIG. As described above, the front door of the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first form is provided with the effect button (input unit) 40k that the player can operate during the effect executed as the game progresses. . The front door of the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second mode is also provided with an effect button (input unit) 40k. However, the effect button 40k of the second form is provided with an input lamp 40La. In the second mode, the input unit lamp 40La can be turned on corresponding to the effect displayed on the display screen 50a. Here, the input unit lamp 40La of the second mode is lit in one of three types of emission colors (blue, green, red) (expectation mode) according to the selected emission pattern. is possible (see FIG. 45(B)).

First, with reference to FIG. 43, the electrical configuration of the second type pachinko game machine PY1 will be described. Unlike the sub-control unit of the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first form shown in FIG. 8, the sub-control unit of the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form shown in FIG. there is

On the sub-drive board 162 of the second form, the board lamp 54, the movable device lamps 60 on the board (the first movable device lamp 60a on the board, the second movable device lamp 60b on the board, the third movable device lamp 60c on the board, the third 4 on-board movable device lamp 60d), on-board movable device 55 (movable accessory), under-board movable device 56 (other movable accessory), input section lamp 40La, and frame lamp 212 are connected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 43, the second form of the effect control microcomputer 121, based on the command received from the game control board 100, through the sub-drive board 162, the frame lamp 212 and the board lamp 54, the board movable Lighting of device lamps 60 (first board on-board mobile device lamp 60a, second board on-board movable device lamp 60b, third board on-board movable device lamp 60c, fourth board on-board movable device lamp 60d), input unit lamp 40La, etc. control. In the second mode, for example, in accordance with the light emission pattern data of the input lamp 40La shown in FIG.

11. Variation of special symbols in the second form Next, the special symbol variation pattern of the second form will be described. A description of the configuration similar to that of the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first mode is omitted. In the pachinko gaming machine of the second form, the special symbol variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 44 is used to determine the variation pattern of the variable display of the special symbols. The determination for determining the variation pattern of the variable display of the special symbols is made whether the result of the big win determination is a big win or a loss. The special figure variation pattern of the second form includes a pseudo continuous effect, a first board movable body effect, a light emission pattern of the on-board movable device lamp 60, a second board movable body effect, an awakening chance effect (awakening aura effect described later (second 1 suggestive effect), input unit lamp effect (second suggestive effect) described later), awakening reach A, awakening reach B, etc. are included.

The effect contents of the special figure fluctuation effect shown in the rightmost remarks column of the table of FIG. 44 will be described. In the variable production of the pachinko game machine PY1 of this embodiment, non-reach, normal reach, SP reach (super reach), awakening chance production using the input section lamp 40La, awakening reach A, awakening reach B, etc. can be executed.

In the second form of SP reach, distribution ratios of various variation patterns are set so that the degree of winning expectation (degree of expectation for winning a jackpot) is higher than in normal reach (see FIG. 44). Therefore, when the player sees the SP reach with a long fluctuation time, it can be understood that the winning expectation is higher than that of the normal reach. Here, the SP reach includes types of weak SP reach A, weak SP reach B, and strong SP reach. Distribution ratios of various variation patterns are set in the order of weak SP reach A→weak SP reach B→strong SP reach so that the degree of expectation for winning the jackpot increases. Therefore, the player can understand that the winning expectation is very high by looking at the strong SP reach. Also, the player can understand that the winning expectation is lower than when the strong SP reach is displayed by looking at the weak SP reach B, and the winning expectation is not so high by looking at the weak SP reach A. can be grasped.

Next, in the awakening chance effect, an awakening aura effect using the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a, an input lamp effect using the input lamp 40La provided on the effect button 40k, and a pressing operation of the effect button 40k by the player. There is a case where an operation prompting effect to prompt is executed. Here, the awakening chance effect is a effect suggesting whether or not the awakening reach (awakening reach A, awakening reach B), which will be described later, will be developed by the awakening aura effect and the input unit lamp effect. In addition, in the awakening aura effect, after the execution of the awakening chance effect is started, the awakening aura image being displayed can be changed to an awakening aura image with a different display color over three stages (multiple stages), and one special symbol can be used. This is an effect capable of suggesting the degree of winning expectation to the player step by step during the execution of the variable effect (predetermined period) based on the lottery result of (1). In addition, in the input section lamp effect, the light emission color of the input section lamp 40La being lit can be changed to a different light emission color over three stages (multiple stages) after the execution of the awakening chance effect is started. This is a performance capable of suggesting the degree of winning expectation to the player in stages during execution of the variable performance based on the lottery results of the symbols. Therefore, the awakening chance performance executed in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form is won step by step during the execution of the variable performance based on the lottery result of one special symbol by the awakening aura performance and the input part lamp performance. It becomes an effect suggesting the degree of expectation (see FIGS. 44 to 50).

In the second form of awakening aura production, there are four types (first awakening aura image KTA (blue), second awakening aura image KTB (green), third awakening aura image KTC (red), fourth awakening aura image KTD (gold) ) and FIG. 45(A)) can be displayed on the display screen 50a. In addition, in the second form of the input section lamp presentation, the input section lamp 40La can be lit in any one of three emission colors (blue, green, and red; see FIG. 45(B)). . Therefore, in the second form, more types of awakening aura images are set in the awakening opening effect than types of emission colors of the input lamp 40La in the input lamp effect (see FIG. 45). As described above, there are more types of awakening aura images than the luminescent colors of the input unit lamps 40La, and they are displayed on the display screen 50a where the player's line of sight is easy to reach. It shouldn't bore people. Therefore, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the awakening aura effect displayed on the display screen 50a rather than to the effect button 40k provided with the input lamp 40La. In addition, in the first mode, the use of the first board movable body 55k may overlap the effect displayed on the display screen 50a. The possibility of being covered with the production that is

About three seconds have passed since the awakening chance effect of the second form was executed, and at the same time, the awakening aura effect is executed in the awakening chance effect. In the awakening aura effect, as the first step, a first awakening aura image KTA showing a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIGS. 44 and 45(A)). Approximately 10 seconds have passed since the first awakening aura image KTA was displayed on the display screen 50a, and at the same time, as the second step, a second awakening aura image KTB showing a green display color is displayed on the display screen 50a. (See FIGS. 44 and 45(A)). Furthermore, at the same time that about 10 seconds have passed since the second awakening aura image KTB was displayed on the display screen 50a, a third awakening aura image KTC (red) or a third awakening aura image KTC (red) or A 4-awakening aura image KTD (gold) may be displayed (see FIGS. 44 and 45(A)).

Also, when about three seconds have passed since the awakening chance effect of the second form was executed, the input part lamp effect is executed in the awakening chance effect. In the input section lamp presentation, as the first step, the input section lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color based on the light emission pattern A (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). Note that in the second mode, the input lamp 40La is not lit until about three seconds have elapsed since the awakening chance effect was executed, but the input lamp 40La may be lit in other variable effects. When about 10 seconds have passed since the input lamp 40La was turned on in the blue emission color, the input lamp 40La may switch to the green emission color based on the emission pattern B as the second step ( 44 and 45(B)). Further, about 10 seconds after the input lamp 40La emits green light, the input lamp 40La changes to red light based on the light emission pattern C as the third step (predetermined step). It may be switched (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)).

Further, in the second mode, the degree to which the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a can be changed differs depending on the selected variation pattern (see FIG. 44). In addition, depending on the selected variation pattern, in the input lamp rendering, the number of stages to which the emission color of the input lamp 40La can be changed differs (see FIG. 44). Specifically, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P52, as the first stage, in the awakening aura effect, the first awakening aura image KTA showing a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45A). ), and in the input lamp effect, the input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color (see FIG. 45(B)).

In addition, in the input section lamp effect, the input section lamp 40La remains green and does not change as the third stage (predetermined stage) (see FIGS. 44 and 45B). An operation facilitating performance for prompting the player to press the performance button 40k is executed, and when the execution of the operation facilitating performance is completed, the execution of the awakening chance performance is completed and the awakening reach B is developed.

Further, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63, as the first stage, in the awakening aura effect, the first awakening aura image KTA showing a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45(A). ), and in the input lamp effect, the input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color (see FIG. 45(B)). After that, as the second stage, in the awakening aura effect, the first awakening aura image KTA showing the blue display color displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the second awakening aura image KTB showing the green display color (Fig. 44, see FIG. 45(A)). In addition, in the input section lamp presentation, as the second stage, the color of light emitted by the input section lamp 40La is changed from blue to green (see FIGS. 44 and 45B). Subsequently, as the third step, in the awakening aura effect, the second awakening aura image KTB showing the green display color displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the third awakening aura image KTC showing the red display color (Fig. 44, see FIG. 45(A)). In addition, in the input section lamp effect, the input section lamp 40La remains green and is not changed as the third stage (predetermined stage) (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). An operation promoting performance for prompting the player to press the performance button 40k is executed, and when the execution of the operation promoting performance is completed, the execution of the awakening chance performance is completed and the awakening reach A is developed.

Further, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64, as the first step, in the awakening aura effect, the first awakening aura image KTA showing a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45(A). ), and in the input lamp effect, the input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color (see FIG. 45(B)). After that, as the second step, in the awakening aura effect, the first awakening aura image KTA showing the blue display color displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the second awakening aura image KTB showing the green display color (Fig. 44, see FIG. 45(A)). In addition, in the input section lamp presentation, as the second step, the light emission color of the input section lamp 40La is changed from blue to green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). Subsequently, as the third stage (predetermined stage), in the awakening aura effect, the second awakening aura image KTB showing the green display color displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the third awakening aura image KTC showing the red display color. (See FIGS. 44 and 45(A)). In addition, in the input section lamp presentation, as the third stage (predetermined stage), the color of light emitted by the input section lamp 40La is changed from green to red (see FIGS. 44 and 45B). An operation promoting performance for prompting the player to press the performance button 40k is executed, and when the execution of the operation promoting performance ends, the execution of the awakening chance performance ends and the awakening reach A is developed.

Further, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P71 or the variation pattern P74, as the first stage, in the awakening aura effect, the first awakening aura image KTA showing a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45(A). ), and in the input lamp effect, the input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color. However, as the second step, the awakening aura image and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La are not changed, and the execution of the awakening chance effect is terminated (see FIG. 44), and the effect pattern EZ is displayed in a wrong display mode (for example, , "253").

Further, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P72 or the variation pattern P75, as the first step, in the awakening aura effect, the first awakening aura image KTA showing a blue display color is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45(A). ), and in the input lamp effect, the input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color (see FIG. 45(B)).

Here, among the awakening reach, types of awakening reach A and awakening reach B are provided. Distribution ratios of various variation patterns are set in the order of Awakening reach A→Awakening reach B so that the degree of expectation for winning the jackpot increases. Therefore, the player can understand that the winning expectation is very high by looking at the awakening reach B, and understands that the winning expectation is lower than when the awakening reach B is displayed by looking at the awakening reach A. It is possible to

12. About Awakening Chance Effect As described above, in the awakening chance effect, the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a by the awakening aura effect and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La by the input unit lamp effect match. may not. Next, the display color of the awakening aura image displayed using FIG. 46 and the timing when the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La matches due to the input unit lamp effect and the timing when they do not match will be described. First, the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64 will be described with reference to FIG. 46(A). In the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second mode, the variable display of the special symbols is finished and the stop display of the special symbols is started, but this is omitted in FIG. Also, the special symbol is determined after a stop time of 600 ms from the start of the stop display of the special symbol, which is omitted in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 46(A), when the variable display of the special symbols is started based on the variable pattern P55 or the variable pattern P64, the awakening chance effect is executed. Then, at the same time that about three seconds have elapsed since the execution of the awakening chance effect, as the first step, the first awakening aura image KTA shown in blue color is displayed on the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 46(A). . At the same time that about three seconds have elapsed since the execution of the awakening chance effect, as the first step, the input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color as shown in FIG. 46(A). In the second mode, the display color (blue) of the first awakening aura image KTA and the emission color (blue) of the input unit lamp 40La are matched in the awakening chance production, so that the winning expectation is shared by the players. It is possible to give a certain impression. After that, as shown in FIG. 46(A), at the same time as about 10 seconds have passed since the first awakening aura image KTA was displayed on the display screen 50a, as the second step, the image displayed on the display screen 50a is displayed. The first awakening aura image KTA is changed to the second awakening aura image KTB. Further, as shown in FIG. 46A, about 10 seconds have passed since the input lamp 40La was turned on with the blue emission color. to green emission color. In the second form, the display color (green) of the second awakening aura image KTB and the light emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La are matched in the awakening chance production, so that the winning expectation level common to the players is achieved. It is possible to give a certain impression. Further, as a third stage, at the same time that about 10 seconds have passed since the second awakening aura image KTB was displayed on the display screen 50a, a third awakening aura image KTB is displayed on the display screen 50a. The image is changed to KTC. Further, as shown in FIG. 46(A), as the third stage, the input lamp 40La changes to the green emission color at the same time that about 10 seconds have passed since the input lamp 40La changed to the green emission color. to a red emission color. In the second mode, the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC and the light emission color (red) of the input lamp 40La are matched in the awakening chance production, so that the winning expectation is shared by the players. It is possible to give a certain impression. After that, the third awakening aura image KTC is displayed on the display screen 50a, and about 8 seconds have passed since the input unit lamp 40La was changed to the red emission color, and at the same time, the awakening aura effect and the input unit lamp effect end. . In that case, the display screen 50a displays an effect for promoting the operation of the effect button 40k (see FIG. 48(B)). Also, the input section lamp 40La provided for the effect button 40k is changed to a light emitting color based on a light emitting pattern corresponding to the operation promoting effect different from the light emitting pattern shown in FIG. 45(B). When the operation prompting presentation ends and the execution of the awakening chance presentation ends, the awakening reach A develops. Note that when the operation promotion effect ends, the input unit lamp 40La based on the light emission pattern corresponding to the operation promotion effect is turned off.

Further, when one of the variation patterns P53, P54, P62, or P63 is selected, the variation display of the special symbol is started based on the variation pattern, and the awakening chance effect is performed. executed. Then, at the same time that about three seconds have elapsed since the execution of the awakening chance effect, as the first step, the first awakening aura image KTA shown in blue color is displayed on the display screen 50a as shown in FIG. 46(B). . At the same time that about three seconds have passed since the execution of the awakening chance effect, as the first step, the input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color as shown in FIG. 46(B). In the second mode, the display color (blue) of the first awakening aura image KTA and the emission color (blue) of the input unit lamp 40La are matched in the awakening chance production, so that the winning expectation is shared by the players. It is possible to give a certain impression. After that, as shown in FIG. 46(B), at the same time that about 10 seconds have passed since the first awakening aura image KTA was displayed on the display screen 50a, as the second step, the image displayed on the display screen 50a is displayed. The first awakening aura image KTA is changed to the second awakening aura image KTB. Further, as shown in FIG. 46B, about 10 seconds have passed since the input section lamp 40La was changed to the blue emission color, and at the same time, as the second step, the input section lamp 40La changes to the blue emission color. to green emission color. In the second form, the display color (green) of the second awakening aura image KTB and the light emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La are matched in the awakening chance production, so that the winning expectation level common to the players is achieved. It is possible to give a certain impression. Further, as a third stage, at the same time that about 10 seconds have passed since the second awakening aura image KTB was displayed on the display screen 50a, a third awakening aura image KTB is displayed on the display screen 50a. The image is changed to KTC. Further, as shown in FIG. 46B, the input lamp 40La remains green even after about 10 seconds have passed since the input lamp 40La was changed to green. In the second form, the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC and the light emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La do not match in the awakening chance presentation, so the player has an impression that the winning expectation is not common. It is possible to give a sense of incongruity by giving After that, the third awakening aura image KTC is displayed on the display screen 50a, and at the same time that about 8 seconds have passed, the awakening aura effect and the input unit lamp effect end. In that case, the display screen 50a displays an effect promoting the operation of the effect button 40k (see FIGS. 49(B) and 50(B)). Also, the input section lamp 40La provided for the effect button 40k is changed to a light emitting color based on a light emitting pattern corresponding to the operation promoting effect different from the light emitting pattern shown in FIG. 45(B). When the operation prompting performance ends and the execution of the awakening chance performance ends, the awakening reach A or the awakening reach B develops. Note that when the operation promotion effect ends, the input unit lamp 40La based on the light emission pattern corresponding to the operation promotion effect is turned off.

As described above, when the awakening chance effect is executed, the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La match up to the second stage (see FIG. 46). reference). However, in the awakening chance production based on any one of the variation pattern P53, the variation pattern P54, the variation pattern P62, and the variation pattern P63, the second awakening aura image KTB displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the third awakening aura image KTB. Although the image KTC is changed and displayed, the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La remains green. In the second mode, the second awakening aura image KTB displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the third awakening aura image KTC, and the light emission color of the input lamp 40La remains green, which is displayed on the display screen 50a. Various variation patterns such that the expectation of winning is higher than in the case where the third awakening aura image KTC is changed from the second awakening aura image KTB and the emission color of the input lamp 40La is changed from green to red. is set (see FIG. 44). That is, when the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a at the third stage does not match the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, the display of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a at the third stage is better. It can be said that the distribution ratios of various variation patterns are set so that the winning expectation is higher than when the color matches the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La (see FIG. 44). As a result, when the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC does not match the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La, the player is more likely to see the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC. It is possible to let the player know that the winning expectation is higher than in the case where the light emission color (red) of the input unit lamp 40La matches.

Next, a production example of this embodiment in the non-time-saving state will be described with reference to FIGS. 47 to 50. FIG. First, based on FIG. 47, the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P52 to the variation pattern P55, the variation pattern P62 to the variation pattern P64, the variation pattern P72, and the variation pattern P75 will be described. In FIG. 47(A), a variation effect based on a lottery for a special figure is executed on the display screen 50a. Note that in the second form, FIG. 47 (A ), the effect button 40k is displayed to the right of the display screen 50a. In addition, as shown in FIG. 47(A), when the variation performance based on the lottery of the special figure is executed on the display screen 50a, the input lamp 40La provided in the performance button 40k is not lit.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 47(B), an awakening chance effect is executed. When the awakening chance presentation is started, as shown in FIG. 47(B), a character image K displaying "awakening chance" is displayed. By displaying the character image K indicating "Awakening Chance" on the display screen 50a, it is possible for the player to understand that the awakening chance effect has started. Further, by starting the execution of the awakening chance effect, the effect symbol EZ moves to the lower right side of the display screen 50a while shrinking. At the start of the awakening chance production, as shown in FIG. 47(B), the input lamp 40La provided for the production button 40k is not lit.

About three seconds after the start of execution of the awakening chance effect, the awakening aura effect and the input part lamp effect are executed. As shown in FIG. 47(C), the character image K displaying "Awakening Chance" is reduced and moved to the upper left of the display screen 50a. Further, when the awakening aura effect is executed, an image showing the effect character is displayed as shown in FIG. 47(C), and the first awakening aura image KTA showing the blue aura surrounding the effect character is displayed. Further, when the input lamp effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 47(C), the input lamp 40La provided for the effect button 40k is lit in a blue emission color. As shown in FIG. 47(C), the display color (blue) indicated by the first awakening aura image KTA displayed on the display screen 50a matches the emission color (blue) of the input lamp 40La. Matching the display color (blue) indicated by the first awakening aura image KTA displayed on the display screen 50a with the emission color (blue) of the input unit lamp 40La gives the player an impression of a common expectation of winning. It is possible to give

About 10 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 47(C) was displayed on the display screen 50a, and at the same time, FIG. A second awakening aura image KTB is displayed. 47(C) is displayed on the display screen 50a, at the same time that the input lamp 40La provided for the effect button 40k turns blue, as shown in FIG. 47(D). to green emission color. As shown in FIG. 47C, the display color (green) indicated by the second awakening aura image KTB displayed on the display screen 50a matches the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La. In the second mode, the display color (green) indicated by the second awakening aura image KTB displayed on the display screen 50a matches the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La, so that the player has a common expectation of winning. It is possible to give the impression that the Here, in the case of the awakening chance production based on the fluctuation pattern P72 and the fluctuation pattern P75, the production pattern EZ stops as it is in a losing mode (for example, "123"). On the other hand, in the case of the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64, the process proceeds to FIG. 48(A). Further, in the case of the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63, the process proceeds to FIG. 49(A). In addition, in the case of the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P53 or the variation pattern P62, the process proceeds to FIG. 50(A).

Next, the case of the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64 will be described. Note that in the second form, FIG. 48 (A ), the effect button 40k is displayed to the right of the display screen 50a. In the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64, after about 10 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 47(D) is displayed on the display screen 50a, the process proceeds to FIG. 48(A). FIG. 48A shows an image representing a performance character and a third awakening aura image KTC showing that the performance character is wrapped in a red aura. Approximately 10 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 47(D) was displayed on the display screen 50a, and at the same time, as shown in FIG. to a red emission color. As shown in FIG. 48A, the display color (red) indicated by the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a matches the emission color (red) of the input lamp 40La. Matching the display color (red) indicated by the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a with the emission color (red) of the input unit lamp 40La gives the player the impression of a common winning expectation. It is possible to give

48(A) is displayed on the display screen 50a, and when about 8 seconds have passed, an operation prompting effect for promoting the pressing operation of the effect button 40k shown in FIG. 48(B) is executed. . Note that in the second mode, the period during which the pressing operation of the effect button 40k is valid (operation valid period) when the operation prompting effect for promoting the pressing operation of the effect button 40k is displayed on the display screen 50a is about 5 seconds. is set. Then, as shown in FIG. 48(B), since the awakening aura effect ends, the awakening aura image is not displayed on the display screen 50a. , the effect button operation prompting image G2 is displayed. Here, the effect button operation prompting image G2 includes a effect button image (characters “PUSH”+downward arrow) G21 representing the effect button 40k. While the effect button operation prompting image G2 is being displayed (the effect button operation prompting effect is being executed), the operation to the effect button 40k is valid. That is, the effect button operation prompting image G2 is displayed (the effect button operation prompting effect is executed) while the operation of the effect button 40k is valid. The period during which the effect button 40k is operated, in other words, the display of the effect button operation prompting image G2 (execution of the effect button operation prompting effect) ends when the effect button 40k is operated. Further, as shown in FIG. 48(B), the effect button 40k is displayed on the right side of the display screen 50a. This is because when the operation prompting effect is executed, the input unit lamp 40La emits light in a light emission color (white) based on a light emission pattern corresponding to the operation prompting effect, which is different from the light emission pattern shown in FIG. 45(B). It is for the sake of becoming. Thereby, it is possible to suggest to the player that the operation prompting effect is being executed and that the pressing operation is possible.

In the second mode, in the awakening chance production, after entertaining the player with the awakening aura production and the input section lamp production, the operation promotion production is executed to prompt the player to press the production button 40k (Fig. 48). (C), FIG. 49(C), and FIG. 50(C)), it is possible to draw the player's attention to the effect button 40k more than when the operation prompting effect is executed to simply prompt the pressing operation of the effect button 40k. Thus, it is possible to increase the possibility of pressing the production button 40k.

Then, when the operation of pressing the effect button 40k is performed before the operation effective period elapses, or when the operation effective period elapses without the pressing operation being performed, the operation promotion effect ends, as shown in FIG. 48(C). It will develop into Awakening Reach A. Further, when the operation prompting effect ends, the input unit lamp 40La that has been lit in the light emission color (white) based on the light emission pattern corresponding to the operation prompting effect is extinguished. In the second form, the awakening chance effect ends when the operation promoting effect ends.

As shown in FIG. 48C, a background image (background image KQA for awakening reach A) dedicated to awakening reach A (awakening effect indicating that the main character has awakened) is displayed on the display screen 50a. Further, as shown in FIG. 48(C), "7" in the left production pattern EZ1 and "7" in the right production pattern EZ3 are temporarily stopped above the display screen 50a, and the display mode of the production pattern EZ becomes the ready-to-win mode. ing. When the lottery result of the special symbols is a big win, as shown in FIG. 48(D), performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("777") suggesting that the player has won a big win are stop-displayed. On the other hand, when the lottery result of the special symbols is a loss, as shown in FIG. 48(E), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("767") suggesting the loss are stopped and displayed. .

Next, the case of the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63 will be described. Note that in the second form, FIG. 49 (A ), the effect button 40k is displayed to the right of the display screen 50a. In the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63, after about 10 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 47(D) is displayed on the display screen 50a, the process proceeds to FIG. 49(A). In FIG. 49A, an image representing a performance character and a third awakening aura image KTC representing a red aura surrounding the performance character are displayed. Even after about 10 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 47(D) was displayed on the display screen 50a, as shown in FIG. It remains illuminated with a green luminous color. As shown in FIG. 49A, the display color (red) indicated by the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the emission color (green) of the input lamp 40La. Since the display color (red) indicated by the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La, the player has an impression that the winning expectation is not common. It is possible to give and give a feeling of discomfort.

49(A) is displayed on the display screen 50a, and when about 8 seconds have passed, an operation prompting effect for promoting the pressing operation of the effect button 40k shown in FIG. 49(B) is executed. . Also, the period during which the operation of the effect button 40k in the second form is effective, in other words, the display of the effect button operation prompting image G2 (execution of the effect button operation promoting effect) ends when the effect button 40k is operated. do. Further, as shown in FIG. 49(B), the effect button 40k is displayed on the right side of the display screen 50a. This is because when the operation prompting effect is executed, the input unit lamp 40La emits light in a light emission color (white) based on a light emission pattern corresponding to the operation prompting effect, which is different from the light emission pattern shown in FIG. 45(B). It is for the sake of becoming. Thereby, it is possible to suggest to the player that the operation prompting effect is being executed and that the pressing operation is possible.

Then, when the effect button 40k is pressed before the operation valid period elapses, or when the operation valid period elapses without the pressing operation being performed, the operation promotion effect ends, as shown in FIG. 49(C). It will develop into Awakening Reach A. In addition, the execution of the awakening chance production ends when the operation promotion production ends.

As shown in FIG. 49C, a background image (background image KQA for awakening reach A) dedicated to awakening reach A (awakening effect indicating that the main character has awakened) is displayed on the display screen 50a. Further, as shown in FIG. 49(C), "7" in the left production pattern EZ1 and "7" in the right production pattern EZ3 temporarily stop above the display screen 50a, and the display mode of the production pattern EZ becomes the ready-to-win mode. ing. When the lottery result of the special symbols is a big win, as shown in FIG. 49(D), performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("777") suggesting that the player has won a big win are stop-displayed. On the other hand, when the lottery result of the special symbols is a loss, as shown in FIG. 48(E), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("767") suggesting the loss are stopped and displayed. .

Next, the case of the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P53 or the variation pattern P62 will be described. Note that in the second form, FIG. 50 (A ), the effect button 40k is displayed to the right of the display screen 50a. In the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63, after about 10 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 47(D) was displayed on the display screen 50a, the process proceeds to FIG. 50(A). In FIG. 50(A), an image representing a performance character and a third awakening aura image KTC representing a red aura surrounding the performance character are displayed. Even after about 10 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 47(D) was displayed on the display screen 50a, as shown in FIG. It remains illuminated with a green luminous color. As shown in FIG. 50A, the display color (red) indicated by the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the emission color (green) of the input lamp 40La. Since the display color (red) indicated by the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La, the player has an impression that the winning expectation is not common. It is possible to give and give a feeling of discomfort.

Thereafter, when about 8 seconds have passed since the effect shown in FIG. 50(A) was displayed on the display screen 50a, an operation prompting effect for promoting the pressing operation of the effect button 40k shown in FIG. 50(B) is executed. . Further, as shown in FIG. 48(B), a production button 40k is displayed to the right of the display screen 50a. This is because when the operation prompting effect is executed, the input unit lamp 40La emits light in a light emission color (white) based on a light emission pattern corresponding to the operation prompting effect, which is different from the light emission pattern shown in FIG. 45(B). It is for the sake of becoming. Thereby, it is possible to suggest to the player that the operation prompting effect is being executed and that the pressing operation is possible.

Then, when the effect button 40k is pressed before the operation valid period elapses, or when the operation valid period elapses without the pressing operation being performed, the operation prompting effect ends, as shown in FIG. 50(C). It will develop into Awakening Reach B. In addition, the awakening chance production ends when the operation promotion production ends.

As shown in FIG. 50(C), a background image (background image KQB for awakening reach B) dedicated to awakening reach B (awakening effect indicating that the main character has awakened more than awakening reach A) is displayed on the display screen 50a. be. Further, as shown in FIG. 50(C), "7" in the left production pattern EZ1 and "7" in the right production pattern EZ3 temporarily stop above the display screen 50a, and the display mode of the production pattern EZ becomes the ready-to-win mode. ing. Then, when the lottery result of the special symbols is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 50(D), performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("777") suggesting that a big win has been won are stop-displayed. On the other hand, when the lottery result of the special symbols is a loss, as shown in FIG. 50(E), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("767") suggesting that the result is a loss are stopped and displayed. .

Some conventional pachinko game machines are equipped with performance buttons. The pachinko game machine performs an operation suggesting effect that suggests the operation of the effect button to the player at a predetermined timing according to the effect mode such as the variable effect displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device, and directs the player. The player can be entertained by operating the buttons. However, since the timing at which the player is entertained by using the production buttons is limited, there is a limit to how much the player can be entertained.

In the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, a variation pattern selected from variation pattern P53 to variation pattern P55, variation pattern P62 to variation pattern P64, variation pattern P71 to variation pattern P72, variation pattern P74 to variation pattern P75. , an awakening aura effect using the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and an input lamp effect using the input lamp 40La provided on the effect button 40k are executed. In the second form, in the awakening chance production, as the first stage, the display color (blue) of the first awakening aura image KTA displayed on the display screen 50a in the awakening aura production, and the input lamp in the input lamp production. The emission color (blue) of 40La matches. As a second stage, the display color (green) of the second awakening aura image KTB displayed on the display screen 50a in the awakening aura effect matches the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La in the input unit lamp effect. Sometimes. Furthermore, as the third stage, the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a in the awakening aura effect matches the emission color (red) of the input unit lamp 40La in the input unit lamp effect. sometimes. Thus, by matching the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a with the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, it is possible to give the player a common impression of expectation of winning. . Therefore, since an integrated effect is executed using the effect button 40k and the effect displayed on the display screen 50a, the player can be more entertained.

In addition, in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, even if any of the variation patterns P53 to P55 and the variation patterns P62 to P64 is selected, the first awakening on the display screen 50a is performed as the first step. The aura image KTA (blue) is displayed, and the input unit lamp 40La is lit with a blue emission color (see FIG. 44). After that, as the second step, the second awakening aura image KTB (green) and the input lamp 40La are changed to green emission color (see FIG. 44). In the awakening chance production based on the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64, the third awakening aura image KTC (red) and the input lamp 40La are changed to red emission color, and the display color of the awakening aura image and the input lamp 40La are changed. The emitted colors match (see FIG. 44). However, in the awakening chance rendering based on the variation pattern P53 to the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P62 to the variation pattern P63, the third awakening aura image KTC (red) is changed, but the input lamp 40La remains green. , and the display color of the awakening aura image does not match the emission color of the input lamp 40La (see FIG. 44). Further, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P52, the fourth awakening aura image KTD (gold) is displayed, but the input lamp 40La remains green, and the display color of the awakening aura image and the input lamp 40La remain unchanged. The emission colors of 40La do not match (see FIG. 44). In the second form, when the display color of the awakening aura image and the light emission color of the input lamp 40La do not match, the winning is greater than when the display color of the awakening aura image and the light emission color of the input lamp 40La match. Distribution ratios for various variation patterns are set so that the probability of winning is high (see FIG. 44). As a result, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, when the awakening chance production is executed, the display screen 50a is displayed while the time elapses after the execution of the awakening chance production is started. It is possible to draw attention not only to the effect but also to the effect button 40k. Therefore, up to the second stage of the awakening chance production, the awakening aura production and the input lamp production gave the impression of a common winning expectation, but in the third stage of the awakening chance production, the awakening aura production By the input part lamp presentation, it is possible to give the player an impression that is not a common expectation of winning, and to give a sense of incongruity. Furthermore, depending on whether or not the display color of the awakening aura image matches the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, it is possible to make it interesting to speculate on the future development of the game. In this way, not only the operation prompting effect for prompting the pressing operation of the effect button 40k but also the above-described awakening chance effect makes it possible to excite and entertain the player.

In a conventional pachinko game machine, the display screen 50a is more likely to execute an effect suggesting the degree of winning expectation than to execute an effect suggesting the degree of expectation of winning using the effect buttons. Therefore, the player pays attention to the effect displayed on the display screen 50a rather than to the effect button. Therefore, in the conventional pachinko game machine, it was difficult to entertain the game using the performance buttons. However, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, it is possible to show the player integrally by the awakening aura effect displayed on the display screen 50a and the input lamp effect using the input lamp 40La. As a result, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the display screen 50a and the effect button 40k. It is possible to entertain the player more than if either was performed. Furthermore, if the display color of the awakening aura image does not match the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, it is possible to surprise the player with a sense of discomfort.

[1 ms timer interrupt processing] In the 1 ms timer interrupt processing (S4009) of the second form, the effect control board 120 performs voice from the speaker 610 via the audio control board 161 as various effects are executed by the image control board 140. , the on-board movable device lamp 60, the input unit lamp 40La, the board lamp 54, and the frame lamp 212 emit light via the sub-drive board 162, and the on-board movable device 55 and the under-board movable device 56 are driven. or

[Lamp Data Output Processing] In the lamp data output processing of the second form (S4202), the on-board mobile device lamp 60, the input unit lamp 40La, the board lamp 54, and the frame lamp 212 are caused to emit light at a timing suitable for the presentation, so that the light is emitted for 10 ms. The lamp data created in the other process (S4305) in the timer interrupt process (S4010) is output to the sub-drive board 162. That is, the on-board movable device lamp 60, the input unit lamp 40La, the board lamp 54, and the frame lamp 212 are caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode according to the lamp data.

[Variable effect pattern selection process] As shown in Fig. 51, in the variable effect pattern selection process (S4504), the effect control microcomputer 121 first acquires a variable effect pattern lottery random number (S4701). Note that the variable effect pattern lottery random number takes a value in the range of 0-99. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern indicates the execution of the awakening chance production based on the analysis result of the variation start command (S4702). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 44, it is determined whether or not there are variation patterns P52 to P55, P61 to P64, P71 to P72, and P74 to P75.

If the variation pattern is to execute the awakening chance production (YES in S4702), the variation production pattern is selected using the variation production pattern selection table for awakening chance production (S4703), this process is finished, and the process proceeds to step S4505. move on.

Here, in step S4703, when the variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P52 is selected, in the variation production based on the lottery of one special symbol, "awakening chance production (first awakening aura image KTA (blue) + Luminous pattern A (blue) → 2nd awakening aura image KTB (green) + luminous pattern B (green) → 4th awakening aura image KTD (gold) + luminous pattern B (green) → operation promotion effect) → awakening reach B” will be executed. As described above, the awakening reach B is set so that the degree of winning expectation is the highest among the two types of awakening reach (awakening reach A, awakening reach B). Here, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P52, the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45A), and the input unit lamp 40La is lit in blue emission color. (See FIG. 45(B)). After that, the first awakened aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the second awakened aura image KTB (green) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Also, the color of light emitted by the input lamp 40La is changed from blue to green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). Subsequently, the second awakening aura image KTB (green) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the fourth awakening aura image KTD (gold) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Further, the color of light emitted from the input lamp 40La remains green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). After that, the operation promoting performance is executed, and when the operation promoting performance ends, the execution of the awakening chance performance ends, and the awakening reach B is developed.

Here, in step S4703, when a variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P53 or the variation pattern P62 is selected, in the variation production based on the lottery of one special symbol, "awakening chance production (first awakening aura image KTA (blue) + emission pattern A (blue) → second awakening aura image KTB (green) + emission pattern B (green) → third awakening aura image KTC (red) + emission pattern B (green) → operation promotion effect) → Awakening Reach B" will be executed. Here, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P53 or the variation pattern P62, the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45A), and the input unit lamp 40La emits blue light. (see FIG. 45(B)). After that, the first awakened aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the second awakened aura image KTB (green) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Also, the color of light emitted by the input lamp 40La is changed from blue to green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). Subsequently, the second awakening aura image KTB (green) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the third awakening aura image KTC (red) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Further, the color of light emitted from the input lamp 40La remains green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). After that, the operation promotion performance is executed, and when the operation promotion performance ends, the awakening chance performance ends and the awakening reach B is developed.

Here, in step S4703, when a variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63 is selected, in the variation production based on the lottery of one special symbol, "awakening chance production (first awakening aura image KTA (blue) + emission pattern A (blue) → second awakening aura image KTB (green) + emission pattern B (green) → third awakening aura image KTC (red) + emission pattern B (green) → operation promotion effect) → Awakening Reach A" will be executed. As described above, the awakening reach A is set to have the second highest winning expectation among the two types of awakening reach (awakening reach A and awakening reach B). Here, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63, the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45A), and the input unit lamp 40La emits blue light. (see FIG. 45(B)). After that, the first awakened aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the second awakened aura image KTB (green) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Also, the color of light emitted by the input lamp 40La is changed from blue to green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). Subsequently, the second awakening aura image KTB (green) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the third awakening aura image KTC (red) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Further, the color of light emitted from the input lamp 40La remains green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). After that, the operation promotion performance is executed, and when the operation promotion performance ends, the awakening chance performance ends and the awakening reach A is developed.

Here, in step S4703, when a variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64 is selected, in the variation production based on the lottery of one special symbol, "awakening chance production (first awakening aura image KTA (blue) + emission pattern A (blue) → second awakening aura image KTB (green) + emission pattern B (green) → third awakening aura image KTC (red) + emission pattern C (red) → operation promotion effect) → Awakening Reach A" will be executed. As described above, the awakening reach A is set to have the second highest winning expectation among the two types of awakening reach (awakening reach A and awakening reach B). Here, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P54 or the variation pattern P63, the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45A), and the input unit lamp 40La emits blue light. (see FIG. 45(B)). After that, the first awakened aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the second awakened aura image KTB (green) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Also, the color of light emitted by the input lamp 40La is changed from blue to green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). Subsequently, the second awakening aura image KTB (green) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the third awakening aura image KTC (red) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Also, the color of light emitted by the input lamp 40La is changed from green to red (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). After that, the awakening chance production ends and the awakening reach A is developed.

Here, in step S4703, when a variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P71 or the variation pattern P74 is selected, in the variation production based on one special symbol lottery, "awakening chance production (first awakening aura image KTA (blue)+light emission pattern A (blue))” is executed. Here, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P71 or the variation pattern P74, the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45A), and the input unit lamp 40La emits blue light. is lit. However, there is no change from the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color (blue) lit by the input unit lamp 40La.

Here, in step S4703, when a variation production pattern based on the variation pattern P72 or the variation pattern P75 is selected, in the variation production based on the lottery of one special symbol, "awakening chance production (first awakening aura image KTA (blue)+luminous pattern A (blue)→second awakening aura image KTB (green)+luminous pattern B (green))” is executed. Here, in the awakening chance effect based on the variation pattern P72 or the variation pattern P75, the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) is displayed on the display screen 50a (see FIG. 45A), and the input unit lamp 40La emits blue light. (see FIG. 45(B)). Thereafter, the first awakened aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a is changed to the second awakened aura image KTB (green) (see FIGS. 44 and 45A). Also, the color of light emitted by the input lamp 40La is changed from blue to green (see FIGS. 44 and 45(B)). However, there is no change from the second awakening aura image KTB (green) displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color (green) lit by the input unit lamp 40La.

Also, in step S4702, if it does not indicate the execution of the awakening chance production (NO in S4702), a variation production pattern is selected using another table (S4704), this process is finished, and the process proceeds to step S4505. Here, the variation patterns that do not indicate execution of the awakening chance effect are variation pattern P51, variation patterns P56-P58, P65-P67, P73, P76, and P81-P87. The other table is a variable effect pattern selection table other than for the awakening chance effect. One table is selected based on the analysis result of the variable start command. Then, using the selected table, by determining the acquired variable effect pattern lottery random number, to select a variable effect pattern (S4704). As a result, the details of the variable effects such as the execution of "strong SP reach", "weak SP reach A", "weak SP reach B", and "non-reach" are determined. Once the variable production pattern is determined in this way, the time of the variable production, the variable display mode of the production pattern, the presence or absence of the reach production, the contents of the reach production, the presence or absence of the production button production (SW production), the contents of the production button production, the production development configuration, The details of the content of the variable production, such as the type of background of the production pattern, are determined.

13. Effects of the Second Mode As described in detail above, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second mode, the awakening aura image (first awakening aura image KTA, second awakening image KTA, second awakening image displayed on the display screen 50a in the awakening aura effect Aura image KTB, third awakening aura image KTC, fourth awakening aura image KTD, see FIG. ))), there is a case where an awakening chance presentation that makes it possible to suggest the degree of winning expectation is executed (see FIG. 44). Thus, when the awakening chance effect is executed, not only the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a in the awakening aura effect but also the input lamp 40La provided for the effect button 40k in the input lamp effect emits light. It is also possible to draw attention to color. Therefore, a special It is possible to make the player guess whether or not he/she will win a big prize in the pattern lottery, and to entertain the player.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second embodiment, since there are many types of awakening aura images, the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a and the input unit lamp are used in the awakening chance production. Winning expectations may be suggested by various situations, such as when the luminescent color of 40La matches, or when the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC and the luminescent color of the input unit lamp 40La do not match. Therefore, although the player's attention is drawn to the effect button 40k, it is possible to easily draw attention to the awakening aura effect displayed on the display screen 50a, and it is possible to provide the player with an interesting and novel effect.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second embodiment, it is possible to change the awakening aura image and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La over three stages (see FIG. 44). By then, it is possible to increase the number of cases in which the player's expectation of winning is suggested by using the awakening aura image and the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La. Therefore, it is possible to make the player interested in the awakening aura image and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, and to entertain the player.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, there is a case where an awakening aura effect suggesting the degree of winning expectation is executed at the same time as about 3 seconds have passed since execution of the awakening chance effect started (Fig. 44, Fig. 46, see FIG. 47). In the awakening aura effect of this embodiment, the awakening aura image (first awakening aura image KTA, second awakening aura image KTB, third awakening aura image KTC) displayed on the display screen 50a as the special symbol variation time elapses. , fourth awakening aura image KTD) (Figs. 44, 46, 47(C), 47(D), 48(A), 49(A), 50(A) )reference). Also, at the same time as about 3 seconds have passed since the start of execution of the awakening chance effect, there is a case where the input section lamp effect suggesting the degree of winning expectation is executed (see FIGS. 44, 46 and 47). In the input lamp effect, the input lamp 40La is lit. In the second form, in the input section lamp presentation, there are cases where the emission color of the input section lamp 40La is changed (Figs. 44, 46, 47(C), 47(D), 48(A), See FIGS. 49(A) and 50(A)). And in the second form, in the awakening chance production executed when the variation pattern P55 or the variation pattern P64 is selected in the non-time saving state, the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the input unit lamp 40La is changed in three stages (see FIGS. 44 and 46(A)). In all of the three stages, the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La match (FIGS. 44, 46A, and 47C). , FIGS. 47(D) and 48(A)). In addition, in the awakening chance production executed when any one of the variation pattern P53, the variation pattern P54, the variation pattern P62, or the variation pattern P63 is selected in the non-time saving state, the awakening displayed on the display screen 50a The aura image is changed in three stages (see FIGS. 44 and 46(B)). However, in the third stage, the emission color of the input lamp 40La remains green (see FIGS. 44 and 46B). Therefore, the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a may not match the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La (see FIGS. 44, 46(B), and 50(A)). As a result, when the awakening chance effect is started, it is possible to draw attention not only to the awakening aura effect displayed on the display screen 50a but also to the effect button 40k in the input section lamp effect. In addition, in the awakening chance effect, it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a matches the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La. . As a result, during the execution of the awakening chance effect, it is possible to predict the future development of the game based on whether or not the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a matches the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La. becomes. Thus, when the awakening chance effect is executed, it is possible to provide the player with an interesting and novel effect using the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the input lamp 40La.

Further, according to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the second embodiment, awakening aura images (first awakening aura image KTA, second awakening aura image KTB, third awakening aura image KTC, The number of types of the fourth awakening aura image KTD) is greater (see FIG. 45(A)) than the types of emission colors (blue, green, red) of the input section lamp 40La in the input section lamp presentation (see FIG. 45(B) reference). Thus, in the second mode, when the display color (red) of the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La do not match, the third image displayed on the display screen 50a is better. It is possible to increase the display color of the awakening aura image KTC and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La (see FIG. 44). As a result, although the player pays attention to the performance button 40k, it is possible to make the player more likely to pay attention to the awakening aura performance displayed on the display screen 50a of many types, thereby making the game more interesting.

Further, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second embodiment, in the awakening chance production, the display color (red, gold) of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a by the awakening chance production and the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La ) do not match (see FIGS. 44, 46(B), 49(A), and 50(A)), the display of the third awakening aura image KTC displayed on the display screen 50a by the awakening chance effect. When the color (red) and the light emission color (red) of the input lamp 40La match (see FIGS. 44, 46(A), and 48(A)), the expectation of winning the jackpot is set to be higher. (See FIG. 44). As a result, in the awakening chance production, the display color (red) or the fourth awakening aura image KTD (gold) displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La are changed. If they do not match, it is possible to let the player know that there is a high possibility of winning the jackpot. Therefore, when the awakening chance effect is executed, the emission color of the input lamp 40La provided to the effect button 40k is changed while drawing the player's attention to the awakening aura effect executed on the display screen 50a. It is possible to confirm whether or not In this way, the player will have the impression that the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a in the third stage matches the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, and that the degree of expectation for winning is common. Although I thought that the degree was high, the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a in the third step did not match the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, and I got the impression that it was not a common expectation of winning. In this case, it is possible to make the player feel the unexpectedness in the fact that the degree of expectation for winning is high.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko game machine PY1 of the present embodiment, when the awakening chance production is executed, about 3 seconds have passed since the start of the awakening chance production, and at the same time, as the first stage, the first awakening aura indicated by the blue display color is generated. The image KTA is displayed, and the input unit lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color (see FIGS. 44, 46, and 47(C)). Then, at the same time that about 10 seconds have passed, as the second stage, the first awakening aura image KTA is changed to a second awakening aura image KTB showing a green display color, and the input lamp 40La changes from blue to green. It can be changed (see FIGS. 44, 46 and 47(D)). Then, at the same time that about 10 seconds have passed, as the third step, the second awakening aura image KTB is changed to a third awakening aura image KTC showing a red display color or a fourth awakening aura image KTD showing a gold display color. (See FIGS. 44, 46(B) and 50(A)). However, even after about 10 seconds have passed and it is in the third stage, there are cases where the input lamp 40La remains green and does not change (see FIGS. 44, 46(B) and 50(A)). ). As a result, in the awakening chance production, up to the second stage, when the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La match (FIGS. 44, 46(B), 47(C)). , FIG. 47(D)), and when the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La in the third stage (FIGS. 44, 46(B), 50(C)). )) can be provided to the player. Therefore, even if the awakening chance presentation is executed, it is possible to grasp whether or not the winning expectation is very high according to the progress of the awakening chance presentation. Thus, it is possible to make the player interested in the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, and to enjoy the game.

<Other Modifications>

In the continuation number suggesting effect executed in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first form, two types (first continuation number image GA (character image of "2nd time"), second continuation number image GB ( Although the image of the number of times of continuation is displayed, it is not limited to this. For example, there may be three or more types of continuation count images. Further, the image of the number of continuations is not limited to the image mode such as the "second" character image and the "third" character image, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, an image mode such as a "x2" character image or a "x3" character image may be used.

In the first board movable body production using the first board movable body 55k executed in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the first form, three types of the board movable device lamp 60 (light emission pattern 1 (blue), light emission pattern 2 (green), light emission pattern 3 (red), see FIG. 14(B)), the on-board movable device lamp 60 is lit in the light emission color based on any one of the light emission patterns. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the number of emitted colors may be two, or four or more.

In the above-described first form, the number of types of continuation count images in the continuation count suggesting effect is more than the types of light emission colors based on the light emission patterns in the first board movable body effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. (See FIG. 14). For example, the number of types of continuation count images in the continuation count suggesting effect may be fewer than the types of light emission colors based on the light emission patterns in the first board movable body effect. Also, the type of continuation count image in the continuation count suggesting effect and the type of light emission color based on the light emission pattern in the first board movable body effect may be the same.

Further, in the above-described first form, for example, there are three types of effects displayed on the display screen 50a: the first image (blue), the second image (green), and the third image (red). ⇒2nd image (green) ⇒3rd image (red) has a high winning expectation in this order. Further, for example, the effect using the on-board movable device lamp 60 is used as the effect using the first board movable body 55k. In that case, there are three types of emission colors (blue, green, and red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60, and the winning expectation is high in the order of blue, green, and red. In this case, for example, the impression, which is the common winning expectation, is when the player confirms the first image (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60. It is to feel that the degree of winning expectation is roughly the same as that suggested. On the other hand, for example, an impression that is not a common winning expectation is that when the player confirms the first image (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a and the light emitting color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60, Compare both colors and feel that they do not imply similar winning expectations.

Further, in the above-described first form, in the pseudo continuous effect based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, the display color (blue) of the first continuation number image GA and the emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 ( blue) coincided with each other, and in the third unit period, the display color (green) of the second continuous count image GB and the emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 became the color (red), but it is not limited to this. do not have. For example, the display color (blue) of the first continuation number image GA and the emission color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 do not match in the second unit period, and the second continuation number image GB in the third unit period. It is also possible to provide a variation pattern in which the display color (green) of and the light emission color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 are the same, and the pseudo-continuation is executed three times. As a result, the display color (blue) of the first continuation number image GA and the emission color (green) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 do not match at the start of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, so the variation pattern It is possible to make the player expect more than when the pseudo run of three times based on P3 or the variation pattern P23 is executed.

Further, in the above-described first form, in the pseudo continuous effect based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, the display color (blue) of the first continuation number image GA and the emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 ( blue) coincided with each other, and in the third unit period, the display color (green) of the second continuous count image GB and the emission color (red) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 became the color (red), but it is not limited to this. do not have. For example, the display color (blue) of the first continuation number image GA and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 match in the second unit period, and the second continuation number image GB in the third unit period. It is also possible to provide a variation pattern in which the display color (green) of and the light emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 do not match, in which pseudo-continuous three times are executed. As a result, at the start of the third unit period in the pseudo continuous effect, the display color (green) of the second continuous count image GB and the emission color (blue) of the on-board movable device lamp 60 do not match in the third unit period. Therefore, the player may be depressed that the expectation of winning may be lower than in the case where the pseudo-run three times based on the variation pattern P3 or the variation pattern P23 is executed. can be provided.

In addition, in the above-described first form, from the start of the variable performance based on the lottery result of one special pattern to the end of the variable performance, the display color of the continuation number image in the continuation number suggesting performance and the first board movable body performance When the luminous color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 based on the luminescence pattern does not match, the winning expectation is higher than when the display color of the continuous count image and the luminous color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 match. (see FIG. 12). However, it is not limited to this. For example, if the display color of the continuation count image in the continuation count suggestion rendering does not match the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 based on the light emission pattern in the first board movable body rendering, the display color of the continuation count image and the display color of the continuation count image do not match. It may be set so that the winning expectation is lower than when the luminous colors of the on-board movable device lamps 60 match.

Further, in the above-described first form, in the continuation number suggesting effect executed from the start of the variable effect based on the lottery result of one special symbol to the end of the variable effect, for example, in the case of the pseudo consecutive three times, the first stage A 1-continuation count image GA was displayed on the display screen 50a, and a second continuation count image GB was displayed on the display screen 50a in the second step. In the continuation number suggesting performance executed from the start of the variable performance based on the lottery result of one special pattern to the end of the variation performance, the continuation number image changes over two stages, but it is not limited to this. For example, it may be possible to change over three stages or more in a predetermined period.

In the first board movable body production executed from the start of the variable production based on the lottery result of one special symbol in the first form to the end of the variable production, for example, in the case of three pseudo consecutive, the board is in the first stage The upper movable device lamp 60 is lit with a blue luminescent color, and the board top movable device lamp 60 is lit with a green luminescent color in the second stage. In the first board movable body performance executed from the start of the variable performance based on the lottery result of one special pattern to the end of the variable performance, the light emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 changes in two stages. is not limited to For example, the emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 may be changed in three or more stages during a predetermined period.

Further, in the above-described first form, the period from the start of the variable display of one special symbol until the stop display of the special symbol is divided into a plurality of unit periods, and the variable display of the effect symbol EZ is started in each unit period. (In the present embodiment, the left production pattern EZ1 and the right production pattern EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same number, and the middle production pattern EZ2 is temporarily stopped and displayed with "Continue"). It was possible to execute a pseudo-continuous effect in which The maximum number of unit periods in this embodiment is three (see FIGS. 12, 15, and 16). However, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be up to two times. In addition, the number of unit periods may be four or more at maximum. Further, when the fourth unit period is started, the continuation number suggesting effect and the first board movable body effect may be executed. In that case, the display color (e.g., red) of the third continuation number image (e.g., "fourth time" character image) displayed on the display screen 50a in the continuation number suggesting effect, and the board in the first board movable body effect There may be a case where the emission color (for example, red) of the upper movable device lamp 60 matches. In addition, the display color (for example, rainbow color) of the third continuation number image (for example, the character image of "4th time") displayed on the display screen 50a in the continuation number suggesting effect, and the display color (for example, rainbow color) in the first board movable body effect There may be cases where the light emission color (red) of the mobile device lamp 60 does not match.

In the unit period of the first form, the effect of starting the variable display of the effect symbol EZ and temporarily stopping and displaying the effect symbol EZ (in this embodiment, the left effect symbol EZ1 and the right effect symbol EZ3 are the same number (for example, " 2”), and the medium effect symbol EZ2 is temporarily stopped and displayed with “Continue”) was executed, but it is not limited to this. For example, an effect in which the effect symbol EZ is temporarily stopped and displayed in a predetermined display mode (eg, "223"), and a effect in which a pseudo effect symbol (eg, "NEXT") different from the effect symbol EZ is temporarily stopped and displayed. may be executed.

In the above form, the production pattern EZ is temporarily stopped and displayed (in this embodiment, the left production pattern EZ1 and the right production pattern EZ3 are temporarily stopped and displayed with the same number (for example, “2”), and the middle production pattern EZ2 is “continued”. ”, one unit period in the pseudo-continuous effect is completed, and the next unit period is started by starting the re-variation display of the effect symbols. It is not limited to this. For example, one unit period may be terminated and the next unit period may be started by starting the re-variation display of the performance symbols.

When the second unit period in the first form of three pseudo-runs ends and the third unit period starts, the display color (green) of the continuation number image in the continuation number suggesting effect and the first board movable body effect There are cases where the green emission color of the on-board mobile device lamp 60 based on the emission pattern matches, and there are cases where the display color (green) of the continuation count image and the emission color (red) of the on-board mobile device lamp 60 do not match. rice field. However, it is not limited to this. For example, at the start of the third unit period after the end of the second unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color (green) of the number of continuations image in the continuation number suggesting effect and the light emission pattern in the first board movable body effect It is sufficient only when the green emission color of the on-board movable device lamp 60 based on the above matches. In addition, at the end of the second unit period in the 3rd pseudo-run and the start of the third unit period, the display color (green) of the continuation number image in the continuation number suggesting effect and the light emission in the first board movable body effect Only if the green emission colors of the on-board mobile device lamps 60 based on the pattern do not match.

In the above-described first form, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, the display color (green) of the continuation number image in the continuation number suggestion presentation and the first board movable body presentation Although the discrepancy suggesting effect that suggests the possibility that the red light emitting colors of the on-board movable device lamps 60 do not match based on the light emitting pattern in 1 is not executed, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, before the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs based on the variation pattern P1 or the variation pattern P21, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color of the continuation number image in the continuation number suggestion effect (green) and the red light emission pattern of the on-board movable device lamp 60 based on the light emission pattern in the first board movable body effect may not match. As a result, it is possible to arouse the player that the expectation of winning may be very high before the third unit period of the three pseudo-runs is started. Therefore, at the start of the third unit period in the three pseudo-runs, the display color (green) of the continuation number image in the continuation number suggesting effect and the light emission pattern in the first board movable body effect are displayed on the board movable device lamp 60. It is possible to further heighten the feeling of the player when the red emission color does not match.

In addition, in the first form, the effects shown in FIGS. 17 to 20 are merely examples of effects performed in the pseudo-continuous effect in the non-time-saving state, and are not limited to these. For example, a specific sound is output from the speaker 610 in a pseudo continuous effect in a non-time-saving state, the frame lamp 212 and the board lamp 54 are emitted in a specific light emission mode, a hold icon notice, a cut-in notice, a step-up notice , a notice using an effect image or the like may be executed as appropriate.

In the above-described first form, a pseudo-continuous effect including only one unit period (predetermined first number of times) in which the effect symbol EZ is displayed once is called a pseudo-continuous one time, but it is limited to this. will not be For example, a pseudo-continuous effect that includes only one unit period (predetermined first number of times) in which the effect symbol EZ is variably displayed once may be referred to as "no pseudo-continuous".

In addition, the special figure variation pattern of the first form includes a pseudo continuous effect, a continuation number suggesting effect (first continuation number image GA, second continuation number image GB), first board movable body effect, board movable device lamp 60 The identification information on the light emission pattern of the second board, the presentation of the movable body on the second board, etc. was included (see FIG. 12). However, it is not limited to this. For example, the special-figure variation pattern may not include identification information regarding the continuation number suggesting effect, the first board movable body effect, the light emission pattern of the on-board movable device lamp 60, the second board movable body effect, and the like. In that case, the production control microcomputer 121 of the first form, for example, in the fluctuation production pattern selection process (S4504), based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command, the pseudo-continuation second time fluctuation production pattern selection table, the pseudo-continuation By selecting either the third time variation performance pattern selection table or other tables and using the selected variation start command selection table to determine the acquired variation performance pattern extraction random number, the continuation in the pseudo continuous variation performance It is also possible to determine the details of the number-of-times-suggestion effect, the first board movable body effect, the light emission pattern of the on-board movable device lamp 60, the second board movable body effect, and the like.

Although the effect button (input unit) 40k of the second form corresponds to the "operation means", it is not limited to this. For example, the pachinko game machine PY1 may be provided with an operating member that can be operated by the player in addition to the effect button 40k, and the operating member may correspond to the "movable accessory".

Although the second form of awakening aura effect corresponds to the "first suggestive effect", it is not limited to this. For example, outputting a specific sound from the speaker 610, causing the frame lamp 212 or the board lamp 54 to emit light in a specific lighting mode, holding icon notice, cut-in notice, step-up notice, notice using an effect image, etc. It may correspond to the "first suggestive effect".

Although the input section lamp effect of the second form corresponds to the "second suggestive effect", it is not limited to this. For example, outputting a specific sound from the speaker 610, causing the frame lamp 212 or the board lamp 54 to emit light in a specific lighting mode, holding icon notice, cut-in notice, step-up notice, notice using an effect image, etc. It may correspond to the "second suggestive effect".

In the awakening aura effect (first suggestive effect) executed in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, four types (first awakening aura image KTA, second awakening aura image KTB, third awakening aura image KTA, and third awakening aura image KTA) are displayed on the display screen 50a. Although one of the awakening aura images (drawing modes) of the image KTC, the fourth awakening aura image KTD, and the awakening aura images (drawing mode) of FIG. 45A) is displayed, it is not limited to this. For example, there may be five or more production modes, or three or less. Also, the effect mode of the first suggestion effect is not limited to the images such as the first awakening aura image KTA, the second awakening aura image KTB, the third awakening aura image KTC, and the fourth awakening aura image KTD. For example, it may be an effect image, a specific sound output from the speaker 610, light emission in a specific light emission mode from the frame lamp 212 or the board lamp 54, or the like.

In the input lamp effect (second suggestion effect) using the input lamp 40La executed in the pachinko game machine PY1 of the second form, three types of the input lamp 40La (light emission pattern A (blue), light emission pattern B (green), emission pattern C (red), and emission pattern C (red), see FIG. 45(B)). rice field. However, it is not limited to this. For example, there may be two types of expectation degree modes, or four or more types.

In the above embodiment, the "predetermined period" corresponds to the period from the start of the variation performance to the end of the variation performance based on the lottery result of one special symbol, but it is not limited to this. For example, the "predetermined period" may correspond to a period from the start of a big win effect with the start of one big win game to the end of the big win effect with the end of the big win game. Also, the period from the start of display of the demo image for waiting customers to the end of display on the display screen 50a may correspond to the "predetermined period".

In the awakening chance production executed in the second form, the awakening aura image (production mode) displayed on the display screen 50a in the awakening aura production (first suggestive production) and the input unit lamp production (second suggestive production) (see FIG. 44). However, it is not limited to this. For example, there may be a case where the winning expectation degree is not suggested based on the performance mode indicated by the first suggestive effect and the expectation degree mode indicated by the second suggestive effect. In addition, there may be cases where the winning expectation level is suggested or not suggested based on the performance mode indicated by the first suggestive effect and the expectation level mode indicated by the second suggestive effect. In that case, according to the variable production pattern, there is a case where the winning expectation is suggested or not suggested based on the production mode shown by the first suggestive performance and the expectation mode shown by the second suggestive performance. can be Further, in the awakening chance presentation, the winning expectation level may be suggested separately in the first suggestion presentation and the second suggestion presentation.

In the second form, for example, even in the first stage, the second stage, and the third stage, in the awakening chance production, the awakening aura image ( Effect mode) and the input part lamp effect (second suggestion effect) suggested the winning expectation level to the player based on the emission color (expectation level mode) of the input part lamp 40La (see FIG. 44). However, it is not limited to this. For example, in the first stage, the winning expectation level is not suggested based on the performance mode shown in the first suggestion performance and the expectation level mode shown in the second suggestion performance. 2. You may suggest winning expectation based on the expectation degree aspect shown by 2 suggestion production. Further, for example, in the first stage, the winning expectation level is suggested based on the performance mode indicated by the first suggestion performance and the expectation level mode indicated by the second suggestion performance, and in the second stage and later, the performance mode indicated by the first suggestion performance and the performance mode indicated by the second suggestion performance are suggested. It is also possible not to suggest the degree of winning expectation based on the degree-of-expectation mode indicated by the second suggestion effect.

In addition, in the above-described second form, the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La can be changed by a variable effect based on the lottery result of one special symbol. not limited. For example, according to the selected variation pattern or variation effect pattern, in the variation effect based on the lottery result of one special symbol, the display color (blue) of the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a and the input unit lamp 40La When suggesting a winning expectation of about 10% based on the luminescent color (blue), input the display color (green) of the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a in the variable effect based on the lottery result of one special symbol. When the winning expectation of about 30% is suggested based on the luminescent color (green) of the main lamp 40La, the display color of the effect image displayed on the display screen 50a ( Green) and the light emission color (red) of the input unit lamp 40La may suggest a winning expectation of about 70%.

In addition, in the second form, the input unit lamp 40La is based on the display color of the awakening aura image (rendering mode) in the awakening aura effect (first suggestive effect) and the light emission pattern in the input unit lamp effect (second suggestive effect). corresponds to "the case where the performance mode indicated by the first suggestive effect and the expectation mode indicated by the second suggestive effect correspond". In addition, the display color of the awakening aura image (production mode) in the awakening aura production (first suggestive production) and the emission color (expected The case where the degree mode) does not match corresponds to "the case where the performance mode indicated by the first suggestive effect and the expectation mode indicated by the second suggestive effect do not correspond". However, it is not limited to these. If at least part of the effect displayed on the display screen 50a and at least part of the effect using the effect button 40k give the player the impression that the degree of expectation for winning is common to the player, then the "first suggestive effect If the presentation mode shown corresponds to the expectation level mode shown in the second suggestive presentation". Also, if at least part of the effect displayed on the display screen 50a and at least part of the effect using the effect button 40k gives the player the impression that the degree of expectation for winning is not common to the player, and gives a sense of discomfort, If the presentation mode indicated by the first suggestive presentation does not correspond to the expectation level mode indicated by the second suggested presentation, it may correspond to ". For example, there are three types of the first awakening aura image KTA (blue), the second awakening aura image KTB (green), and the third awakening aura image KTC (red) in the effect displayed on the display screen 50a. Image KTA (blue), second awakening aura image KTB (green), third awakening aura image KTC (red), in this order, has a high winning expectation. Further, for example, an effect using the input section lamp 40La is used as the effect using the effect button 40k. In that case, there are three kinds of emission colors (blue, green, and red) of the input lamp 40La, and the winning expectation is high in the order of blue, green, and red. In this case, for example, the impression, which is a common winning expectation, is the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a and the light emission color (blue) of the input unit lamp 40La. Sometimes it feels like it implied roughly the same degree of winning expectation. On the other hand, for example, an impression that is not a common winning expectation is when the player confirms the first awakening aura image KTA (blue) displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color (green) of the input unit lamp 40La. , to compare both colors and feel that they do not imply similar winning expectations.

In the second form, the type of awakening aura image (rendering mode) in the awakening aura image rendering (first suggestive rendering) is the input lamp 40La based on the emission pattern in the input lamp rendering (second suggestive rendering). Although there were more types of luminescent colors (expectation mode) than the types of , the present invention is not limited to this (see FIG. 45). For example, the number of types of expectation mode indicated by the second suggestion effect may be greater than the number of types of expectation mode indicated by the first suggestion effect. Also, the type of expectation mode indicated by the second suggestion effect may be the same as the type of expectation mode indicated by the first suggestion effect.

Further, in the second form, the awakening aura image (effect mode) does not match the display color of the input unit lamp 40La based on the light emission pattern in the input unit lamp effect (second suggestive effect) (expectation mode), the display color of the awakening aura image and the input unit are better. It is set so that the expectation of winning is higher than when the luminous colors of the lamps 40La match (see FIG. 44). However, it is not limited to this. For example, when the performance mode indicated by the first suggestive effect and the expectation level mode indicated by the second suggestive effect match, it is better when the performance mode indicated by the first suggested effect and the expectation mode indicated by the second suggested effect do not match. It may be set so that the winning expectation can be higher.

Further, in the second form, the awakening aura effect (first suggestive effect) executed from the start of the variable effect based on the lottery result of one special pattern to the end of the variable effect (predetermined period), for example, the first stage A first awakening aura image KTA (effect mode) is displayed on the display screen 50a at the second stage, a second awakening aura image KTB (effect mode) is displayed on the display screen 50a at the second stage, and a third awakening aura image KTA (effect mode) is displayed at the third stage. KTC (effect mode) may be displayed on the display screen 50a. As described above, in the first suggestive effect in the predetermined period, the effect mode has changed over three stages, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the presentation mode may be changed in four or more stages during a predetermined period, or the presentation mode may be changed in two stages during a predetermined period.

Further, in the second form, the input section lamp effect (second suggestive effect) executed from the start of the variable effect based on the lottery result of one special symbol to the end of the variable effect (predetermined period), for example, one stage The input lamp 40La is lit in a blue emission color (expectation mode), the input lamp 40La is changed to a green emission color (expectation mode) in the second stage, and the input lamp 40La is lit in the third stage. may be changed to a red (expectation mode) emission color. As described above, in the second suggestive effect in the predetermined period, the expectation mode has changed over three stages, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the expectation level mode may be changed in four or more stages during a predetermined period, or the expectation level mode may be changed in two stages during a predetermined period.

Further, in the second embodiment, in the third stage (predetermined stage) of the three stages (multiple stages), the display color of the awakening aura image (rendering mode) in the awakening aura rendering (first suggestive rendering) and the input unit A case where the emission color (expectation mode) of the input unit lamp 40La based on the light emission pattern in the lamp effect (second suggestive effect) matches, and an awakening aura image (presentation mode) in the awakening aura effect (first suggestive effect). and the light emission color (expectation mode) of the input section lamp 40La based on the light emission pattern in the input section lamp effect (second suggestive effect) sometimes did not match (see FIGS. 44 and 45 (B)). ). However, it is not limited to this. For example, at the predetermined stage, the performance mode indicated by the first suggestive effect and the expectation level mode indicated by the second suggestive effect may correspond only to each other. Further, in the predetermined stage, the performance mode indicated by the first suggestive effect and the expectation level mode indicated by the second suggestive effect may not correspond to each other.

Further, in the above-described second form, in the third stage (predetermined stage) of the three stages (multiple stages), the display color of the awakening aura image (rendering mode) in the awakening aura rendering (first suggestive rendering) and the input unit A case where the emission color (expectation mode) of the input unit lamp 40La based on the light emission pattern in the lamp effect (second suggestive effect) matches, and an awakening aura image (presentation mode) in the awakening aura effect (first suggestive effect). and the light emission color (expectation mode) of the input section lamp 40La based on the light emission pattern in the input section lamp effect (second suggestive effect) sometimes did not match (see FIGS. 44 and 45 (B)). ). However, the three stages do not have to correspond to the "predetermined stage". For example, one stage may correspond to the "predetermined stage", or two stages may correspond to the "predetermined stage". Also, all of the 1st to 3rd stages may correspond to the "predetermined stage".

In addition, the special figure variation pattern of the second form includes awakening chance production (awakening aura production (first awakening aura image KTA, second awakening aura image KTB, third awakening aura image KTC, fourth awakening aura image KTD), Input lamp effect (emission color of input lamp 40La based on emission pattern A (blue), emission color of input lamp 40La based on emission pattern B (green), emission color of input lamp 40La based on emission pattern C ( Red)), operation prompting effect), and identification information related to awakening reach (awakening reach A, awakening reach B), etc. (see FIG. 44). However, it is not limited to this. For example, in the special figure variation pattern, awakening chance production (awakening aura production (first awakening aura image KTA, second awakening aura image KTB, third awakening aura image KTC, fourth awakening aura image KTD), input part lamp production ( The emission color (blue) of the input lamp 40La based on emission pattern A, the emission color (green) of the input lamp 40La based on emission pattern B, the emission color (red) of the input lamp 40La based on emission pattern C, operation promotion effect), awakening reach (awakening reach A, awakening reach B), etc. may not be included. In that case, the production control microcomputer 121 of the second form, for example, in the fluctuation production pattern selection process (S4504), based on the analysis result of the fluctuation start command, using the fluctuation production pattern selection table for awakening reach production, By determining the obtained fluctuation effect pattern extraction random number, the awakening chance effect (awakening aura effect (first awakening aura image KTA, second awakening aura image KTB, third awakening aura image KTC, fourth awakening aura image KTD), Input lamp effect (emission color of input lamp 40La based on emission pattern A (blue), emission color of input lamp 40La based on emission pattern B (green), emission color of input lamp 40La based on emission pattern C ( Red)), operation prompting presentation), awakening reach (awakening reach A, awakening reach B), etc. may be determined in detail.

Further, in the above-described second form, the effect button 40k is used in the awakening chance effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the awakening chance production, board movable bodies (first board movable body 55k, second board movable body 56k) may be used.

In addition, in the awakening chance production of the second form, the input unit lamp production using the input unit lamp 40La provided on the production button 40k and the awakening aura production using the production by the display screen 50a are executed, but this is not the only option. will not be For example, in the pseudo continuous effect, an input lamp effect using the input lamp 40La provided on the effect button 40k and an awakening aura effect using the effect of the display screen 50a may be executed.

In addition, in the input section lamp effect of the second form, only the input section lamp 40La provided for the effect button 40k is turned on, but it is not limited to this. For example, in the awakening aura effect, the input unit lamp 40La may be lit and the operation mode of the effect button 40k may be changed (for example, the effect button 40k vibrates or the effect button 40k protrudes). As a result, in the awakening chance effect, it is possible to draw the player's attention to the effect button 40k.

Further, in the second mode, when the third awakening aura image KTC is displayed on the display screen 50a in the awakening aura effect, the effect symbol EZ (left effect symbol EZ1, middle effect symbol EZ2, right effect symbol EZ3) is used. Then, an effect may be performed to suggest whether or not the effect pattern EZ is in the ready-to-win state. Displaying the third awakening aura image KTC on the display screen 50a by performing an effect indicating whether or not the effect symbol EZ is in the ready-to-win state on the display screen 50a is a valuable effect for the player. It is possible to

In the above-described second form, after the operation prompting effect is displayed on the display screen 50a, even if the awakening reach A or awakening reach B develops, the effect symbol EZ may be stopped and displayed in a wrong display mode (Fig. 48(E), FIG. 49(E), FIG. 50(E)). However, it is not limited to this. For example, when the lottery result of the special symbol is a big hit, in the awakening chance effect, the effect symbol EZ becomes the ready-to-win mode, and then the operation promotion effect may be performed. In that case, for example, depending on the number of rounds in the jackpot game or the game state to be shifted after the jackpot game ends, the effect displayed after performing the pressing operation of the effect button 40k in the operation promotion effect may be changed.

In the second mode, when the operation prompting effect is executed, the light emission color of the input lamp 40La becomes white, and the light emission color (expectation mode) of the input lamp 40La in the input lamp effect (second suggestive effect). It was different, but not limited to this. For example, the operation mode of the effect button 40k in the operation promoting effect should be different from the expectation level mode shown in the second suggestion effect (for example, the effect button 40k vibrates or the effect button 40k protrudes). As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to grasp that the operation prompting effect is being executed.

In the above-described second form, the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a in the third stage and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La are matched to give an impression of common expectation of winning. The awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, and the winning expectation is set higher than the common winning expectation. is not limited to For example, when the lottery result of the special symbol is a big win, the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a is better when the color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the emission color of the input lamp 40La. The number of rounds in the jackpot game to be executed may be larger than when the luminous color of the input lamp 40La matches. As a result, it is possible to make the player feel that the number of rounds is larger when the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La do not match. In addition, for example, when the lottery result of the special symbol is a big win, it is better to display on the display screen 50a when the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La do not match. It may be made easier to shift to the high probability state after the jackpot game than when the awakening aura image and the emission color of the input lamp 40La match. As a result, when the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a does not match the light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La, it is easier to shift to the high probability state after the end of the big winning game. It is possible.

As a modification of the second embodiment, for example, the type of awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the type of light emission color of the input unit lamp 40La may be independently determined by lottery. In that case, the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La match the display color of the awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the emission color of the input unit lamp 40La. do not match. As a result, the type of awakening aura image displayed on the display screen 50a and the type of the luminescent color of the input lamp 40La are independently determined by lottery, thereby suggesting the player's expectation of winning. It is possible to increase the

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

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

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

In addition, in the above-described forms (first and second forms), four random numbers such as jackpot random numbers are obtained as random numbers (determination information) obtained based on the winning of the first start port 11 or the second start port 12. However, it is also possible to acquire one random number and determine whether or not it is a big hit, the type of hit, the presence or absence of reach, and the type of variation pattern based on the random number. That is, it is possible to arbitrarily set the number of random numbers to be obtained based on the starting prize and what is determined in each random number.

Further, in the above-described forms (first form and second form), the pachinko game is controlled to a jackpot game state (special game state) under the control condition that the jackpot has been won and the special symbol indicating that has been stop-displayed. configured as a machine. It should be noted that, in the above-described mode, the "predetermined condition" corresponds to the fact that the jackpot is won and the special symbol indicating that fact is stopped and displayed.
