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

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

At a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area), a variable display (also called a special game) of special symbols (also called special symbols) as a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed. A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided. Each of these consists of a 7-segment LED or the like. The special symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9" and lighting patterns such as "-". The special symbol may include a pattern in which all LEDs are turned off.

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

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

An image display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2 . The image display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display) or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence), and displays various effects images. The image display device 5 may be composed of a projector and a screen. Various effect images are displayed on the image display device 5 .

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

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

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

At a predetermined position of the game board 2, a first suspension display 25A and a second suspension display 25B each including a plurality of LEDs are provided. , the number of first reserved memories is displayed, and the second reserved display 25B displays the number of second reserved memories according to the number of lit LEDs.

The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form.

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

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

Entering a game ball into each winning hole including the general winning hole 10 is also called "winning". In particular, winning a prize to a starting opening (first starting winning opening, second starting winning opening starting opening) is also referred to as starting winning.

A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). As an example, the normal symbol display device 20 is composed of a 7-segment LED or the like, and performs variable display of normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information different from special symbols. The normal symbols are represented by numbers indicating "0" to "9", lighting patterns such as "-", and the like. The normal pattern may include a pattern in which all the LEDs are turned off. Such a variable display of normal patterns is also called a normal pattern game.

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

Above the normal pattern display 20, a normal pattern holding display 25C is provided.

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

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

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

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

In addition, when the game ball enters (wins) the start winning opening during the period during which the special game is running, or during the period when it is controlled to the big win game state or the small win game state described later (although the start win has occurred If the special game based on the starting prize cannot be executed immediately), the execution of the special game based on the entry is suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4).

In the special symbol game, when a specific special symbol (a big hit symbol, for example, "7", the actual symbol varies depending on the type of the big hit to be described later) is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, it becomes a "big hit" and a big winning symbol. If a predetermined special symbol (a small winning symbol, for example, "2") different from the symbol is stop-displayed, it becomes a "small winning". Also, if a special symbol (losing symbol, for example, "-") different from the big-hit symbol or the small-hit symbol is stopped and displayed, it becomes "lost".

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

In the jackpot game state, the player can get a prize ball by entering the game ball into the big winning hole. Therefore, the jackpot gaming state is an advantageous state for the player. The larger the number of rounds in the jackpot game state and the longer the upper limit period of opening, the more advantageous the player is.

In addition, a jackpot type is set in the "jackpot". For example, a plurality of types of opening modes (number of rounds and upper limit period of opening) of the big winning opening and game states after the jackpot game state (normal state, time saving state, variable probability state, etc. described later) are prepared, and the jackpot is obtained according to these. type is set. As the jackpot type, there may be provided a jackpot type in which a large number of prize balls can be obtained, and a jackpot type in which a small number of prize balls or almost no prize balls can be obtained.

In the small winning game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined opening mode. For example, in the small winning game state, the same opening mode as the big winning game state when some jackpot types etc.), the big prize opening is opened. In addition, you may provide a small-hit classification also in a "small-hit" like a big-hit classification.

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

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

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

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

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

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

After the small win game state is over, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the display result of the special figure game becomes "small win" is continuously controlled (however, "small win" occurs If the special game at the time is the special game for the predetermined number of times in the above cut, the game state is naturally changed). In addition, there may not be a "small hit" as a display result of a special figure game.

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

(Progress of production, etc.)
In the pachinko gaming machine 1, various effects (effects such as notifying the progress of the game and exciting the game) are executed according to the progress of the game. The production will be described below. The effect is performed by displaying various effect images on the image display device 5. In addition to or instead of the display, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and/or the game effect lamp 9 It may be performed by turning on/off, operation of the movable body 32, or the like.

As an effect executed according to the progress of the game, the first special game or the second In response to the start of the 2 special figure game, the variable display of the decoration pattern is started. At the timing when the display result (also called fixed special pattern) is stopped and displayed in the first special game or the second special game, a fixed decorative pattern (combination of three decorative patterns) which is the display result of variable display of decorative patterns ) is also stopped (derived).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

During the big winning game state, the performance during the big winning is executed to report the big winning game state. As the effect during the big win, the effect of notifying the number of rounds or the promotion effect indicating that the value of the big win game state is improved may be executed. Also, during the small-hit game state, an effect during the small-hit game for notifying the small-hit game state is executed. In addition, during the small-hit game state, some of the big-hit types (in the big-hit type of the big-hit game state in the same manner as the small-hit game state, for example, the jackpot type in which the subsequent game state is a high probability state) By executing a common performance in both states, the player may not know whether the current state is a small win game state or a big win game state. In such a case, by executing a common performance after the end of the small winning game state and after the end of the big winning game state, it is made impossible to distinguish whether the state is a high probability state or a low probability state. may

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

The main board 11 (game control microcomputer 100), as part of the control of the progress of the game, produces a production control command (a command to specify (notify) the progress of the game, etc.) according to the progress of the game. 12. The effect control command output from the main board 11 is relayed by the relay board 15 and supplied to the effect control board 12. - 特許庁The effect control command includes, for example, various determination results on the main board 11 (for example, the display result of the special game (including the jackpot type), the variation pattern used when executing the special game (details will be described later). )), game status (for example, start and end of variable display, opening status of big winning slots, occurrence of winning, number of reserved memories, game status), commands specifying error occurrence, and the like.

The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives the effect control command, and produces effects based on the received effect control command (various effects according to the progress of the game, (including various notifications such as driving of the movable body 32, error notification, power failure recovery notification, etc.).

The performance control board 12 is equipped with a performance control CPU 120, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control section 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I/O 125.

The effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to execute a process for executing the effect together with the display control unit 123 (a process for realizing the above function of the effect control board 12, and the effect to be executed (including the decision, etc.).

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

(Major operations of the main substrate 11)
First, main operations in the main board 11 will be described. When power supply to the pachinko game machine 1 is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes the game control main process. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing game control main processing executed by the CPU 103 on the main substrate 11. As shown in FIG.

In the game control main process shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 103 first sets interrupt prohibition (step S1). Subsequently, necessary initial settings are performed (step S2). Initial settings include stack pointer setting, internal device register setting (CTC (counter/timer circuit), parallel input/output port, etc.), setting to make RAM 102 accessible, and the like.

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

Moreover, CPU103 transmits the production|presentation control command which instruct|indicates initialization to the production|presentation control board 12 (step S9). When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command, for example, the image display device 5 displays a screen for notifying that the control of the gaming machine has been initialized.

If the output signal from the clear switch is not ON (step S3; No), it is determined whether backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (backup RAM) (step S4). When the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is stopped due to an unexpected power failure or the like (power failure), the CPU 103 executes the power supply stop processing immediately before the pachinko game machine 1 becomes inoperable due to the stoppage of the power supply. In this process when the power supply is stopped, a process of turning on a backup flag indicating that data is to be backed up in the RAM 102, a data protection process of the RAM 102, and the like are executed. Data protection processing includes adding an error detection code (checksum, parity bit, etc.) and backing up various data. The data to be backed up includes not only various data (including various flags, states of various timers, etc.) for progressing the game, but also the states of the backup flags and error detection codes. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the backup flag is ON. If the backup flag is off and backup data is not stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; No), an initialization process (step S8) is executed.

If backup data is stored in the RAM 102 (step S4; Yes), the CPU 103 checks the backed up data (using an error detection code) to determine whether the data is normal (step S5). In step S5, for example, it is determined whether or not the data in the RAM 102 matches the data when the power supply was stopped, using a parity bit or a checksum. If it is determined that they match, it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is not normal (step S5; No), the internal state cannot be returned to the state when the power supply was stopped, so initialization processing (step S8) is executed.

If it is determined that the data in the RAM 102 is normal (step S5; Yes), the CPU 103 performs recovery processing (step S6) to return the internal state of the main substrate 11 to the state when the power supply was stopped. In the recovery process, the CPU 103 sets the work area based on the contents stored in the RAM 102 (the contents of the backed up data). As a result, the game state at the time of stopping the power supply is restored, and when the special symbols are fluctuating, the fluctuation of the special symbols is resumed from the state before restoration by executing the game control timer interrupt process described later. will be

And CPU103 transmits the production|presentation control command which instruct|indicates restoration from a power failure to the production|presentation control board 12 (step S7). In accordance with this, an effect control command that designates the game state before the power cut that is backed up, and if the special game is being executed, the effect control that designates the display result of the special game that is being executed You may make it transmit a command. These commands can use the same commands as the commands set for transmission in the special symbol process described later. When the effect control CPU 120 receives the effect control command specifying the restoration time from the power failure, for example, the image display device 5 notifies that the power failure has been restored or is being restored from the power failure. Display the screen for The effect control CPU 120 may perform appropriate screen display based on the effect control command.

After completing the recovery process or the initialization process and transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12, the CPU 103 executes the random number circuit setting process for initializing the random number circuit 104 (step S10). Then, the register of the CTC built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set so that the timer interrupt is periodically applied every predetermined time (for example, 2 ms) (step S11), and the interrupt is permitted (step S12 ). After that, loop processing is entered. Thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 at predetermined time intervals (for example, 2 ms), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing.

When the CPU 103 that has executed such game control main processing receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and accepts the interrupt request, it executes the game control timer interrupt processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the timer interrupt process for game control shown in FIG. 4 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby, through the switch circuit 110, the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, and the second start port. It is determined whether or not detection signals have been received from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 (step S21). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, an abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko game machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (step S22). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, jackpot information (information indicating the number of occurrences of jackpots, etc.), start information (start Data such as information indicating the number of wins, etc.), probability change information (information indicating the number of times the odd state has occurred, etc.) is output (step S23).

Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least part of the game random numbers used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S24). After that, the CPU 103 executes a special symbol process (step S25). CPU103 by executing the special symbol process processing for each timer interrupt, management of execution and suspension of the special symbol game, control of the big hit game state and small hit game state, control of the game state, etc. are realized (details later).

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

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

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step S25 shown in FIG. 4 as the special symbol process process. In this special symbol process process, the CPU 103 first executes a starting winning determination process (step S101).

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

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

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

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

(Major operations of production control board 12)
Next, main operations in the effect control board 12 will be described. In the effect control board 12, when the power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated, and the effect control main processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 is executed. When the production control main processing shown in FIG. Perform register setting of the mounted CTC (counter/timer circuit). Also, an initial operation control process is executed (step S72). In the initial motion control process, control for initial motion of the movable body 32, such as control for driving the movable body 32 to return it to the initial position and control for confirming a predetermined motion, is executed.

After that, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is turned on (step S73). The timer interrupt flag is set to ON every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S73; No), the process of step S73 is repeated and waits.

Also, on the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving the effect control command from the main board 11 is generated in addition to the timer interrupt that occurs each time a predetermined time elapses. This interrupt is an interrupt generated when, for example, the effect control INT signal from the main substrate 11 is turned on. When an interrupt occurs due to the effect control INT signal being turned on, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets interrupt prohibition, but when using a CPU that does not automatically enter an interrupt prohibition state, interrupt It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to the interruption caused by the effect control INT signal being turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, the effect control command is taken in from a predetermined input port for receiving the control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I/O 125 . The effect control command taken in at this time is stored in the effect control command reception buffer provided in the RAM 122, for example. After that, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt process after setting the interrupt permission.

If the timer interrupt flag is ON at step S73 (step S73; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared to be turned off (step S74), and command analysis processing is executed (step S75). In the command analysis process, for example, after reading various effect control commands that are transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the read effect control command Corresponding settings and controls are performed. For example, the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122, or the read production control command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122 so that the content specified by the production control command can be confirmed by the production control process processing or the like. It turns on the provided reception flag. Further, when the effect control command specifies the game state, the display control unit 123 may be instructed to display a background according to the game state.

After executing the command analysis process in step S75, the effect control process process is executed (step S76). In the effect control process processing, for example, the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 5, the sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation of the decorative light emitters such as the game effect lamp 9 and the decorative LED, and the movable body 32 Control to operate various production devices such as driving operation of is performed. Further, determination, determination, setting, and the like are performed according to the effect control command and the like transmitted from the main board 11 regarding the control contents of the effect operation using various effect devices.

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

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of processing executed in step S76 of FIG. 6 as the effect control process processing. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 7, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a pre-reading notice setting process (step S161). In the pre-reading notice setting process, for example, based on the effect control command at the time of start winning transmitted from the main substrate 11, determination, determination, setting, etc. for executing the pre-reading notice effect are performed. Also, a process for displaying a pending display is executed based on the number of pending memories specified from the effect control command.

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

The variable display start waiting process in step S170 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "0" (initial value). This variable display start waiting process is a process of determining whether or not to start variable display of decorative patterns on the image display device 5 based on whether or not a command designating the start of variable display has been received from the main substrate 11. and so on. When it is determined to start the variable display of the decoration pattern on the image display device 5, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "1", and the variable display start waiting process is terminated.

The variable display start setting process in step S171 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "1". In this variable display start setting process, based on the display result and the variation pattern specified by the effect control command, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern (determined decorative pattern), the form of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the ready-to-win effect, and various other Whether or not to execute various effects such as advance notice effects, its mode, execution start timing, etc. are determined. Then, an effect control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the effect) reflecting the determination result or the like is set. After that, based on the set effect control pattern, the display control unit 123 is instructed to start execution of variable display of decorative symbols, the value of the effect process flag is updated to "2", and the variable display start setting process is terminated. The display control unit 123 causes the image display device 5 to start variable display of the decorative design in response to an instruction to start execution of variable display of the decorative design.

The effect process during variable display in step S172 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "2". In this variable display effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 instructs the display control unit 123 to display the effect image based on the effect control pattern set in step S171 on the display screen of the image display device 5. , driving the movable body 32, outputting voices and sound effects from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting commands (sound effect signals) to the voice control board 13, and outputting commands (illumination signals) to the lamp control board 14. Various effects are controlled during the variable display of decorative patterns, such as turning on/off/blinking the game effect lamp 9 and decorative LEDs by output. After performing such effect control, for example, an end code indicating the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern is read from the effect control pattern, or a command designating to stop display of the fixed decorative pattern is received from the main board 11. Corresponding to the fact that the player has done so, the fixed decoration pattern which becomes the display result of the decoration pattern is stopped and displayed. When the fixed decoration pattern is stopped and displayed, the value of the production process flag is updated to "3", and the production process during variable display ends.

The special figure per waiting process of step S173 is a process executed when the value of the production process flag is "3". In this special figure hit waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not an effect control command designating the start of the big hit game state or the small hit game state is received from the main substrate 11 . Then, when receiving the production control command designating the start of the jackpot game state or the small hit game state, if the command designates the start of the jackpot game state, the value of the production process flag is set to "6". ”. On the other hand, if the command designates the start of the small-hit game state, the value of the production process flag is updated to "4", which is the value corresponding to the small-hit production process. Also, when the waiting time for receiving the command has passed without receiving a command designating the start of the big win game state or the small win game state, it is determined that the display result in the special figure game was "lost". Then, the value of the production process flag is updated to "0" which is the initial value. When the value of the production process flag is updated, the special figure per waiting process is terminated.

The production process during the small hit of step S174 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "4". In this small-hit mid-performance process, the performance control CPU 120 sets, for example, a performance control pattern corresponding to the performance content in the small-hit game state, and executes various performance controls in the small-hit game state based on the set content. . In addition, in the small-hit middle production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the small-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production process flag is set to a value corresponding to the small-hit end production. It is updated to a certain "5", and the effect processing during the small hit is ended.

The small hit end production process of step S175 is a process executed when the value of the production control process flag is "5". In this small hit end effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the small win game state, etc., and various effect control at the end of the small win game state based on the setting content. to run. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the small winning end effect process is terminated.

The effect process during the big hit in step S176 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "6". In this big-hit production process, the production control CPU 120 sets, for example, production control patterns corresponding to the production contents in the big-hit game state, and executes various production controls in the big-hit game state based on the set contents. In addition, in the big-hit production process, for example, in response to receiving a command designating to end the big-hit game state from the main board 11, the value of the production control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the ending production process. 7", and the effect processing during the big hit is ended.

The ending effect process of step S177 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is "7". In this ending effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the big win game state, etc., and controls various effects of the ending effect at the end of the big win game state based on the setting contents. Execute. After that, the value of the effect process flag is updated to the initial value of "0", and the ending effect process is terminated.

FIG. 8-5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 8-5, in the characteristic part 008SG of this embodiment, on the side of the main board 11, in addition to the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination, the random number MR2 for the big hit type determination, the variation pattern Numerical data indicating the random number MR3 for judgment, the random number MR4 for judging the results of the normal map display, and the random number MR5 for determining the initial value of MR4 are controlled so as to be countable. Random numbers other than these may be used in order to enhance the game effect. These random numbers MR1 to MR5 may be counted by software update using different random counters in the CPU 103, or may be updated by the random number circuit 104. FIG. The random number circuit 104 may be built in the game control microcomputer 100 or may be configured as a random number circuit chip different from the game control microcomputer 100 . Random numbers used to control the progress of such games are also called game random numbers.

In this embodiment, the random numbers MR1 to MR5 are used as values within the range shown in FIG. 8-5. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The range of MR1 to MR5 may be varied according to the set values set in the pachinko game machine 1. FIG.

FIG. 8-6(A) shows the variation pattern in this characteristic portion 008SG. In this characteristic part 008SG, among the cases where the variable display result is "loss", the variable A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance for cases such as when the display result is a "big hit". In addition, one variation pattern is prepared in advance in response to a case where the variable display result is a "minor hit". In addition, the variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variable display mode of the decoration pattern is "non-reach" is called a non-reach variation pattern (also referred to as "non-reach loss variation pattern"), A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss" and the variable display mode of the decoration pattern is "reach" is called a reach variation pattern (also referred to as a "reach loss variation pattern"). Also, the non-reach variation pattern and the reach variation pattern are included in the loss variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "loss". A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is a "big hit" is called a big hit variation pattern. A variation pattern corresponding to the case where the variable display result is "small hit" is called a small hit variation pattern.

The jackpot variation pattern and the reach variation pattern include the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach production of the normal reach is executed, and the super reach in which the reach production of the super reach such as super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ is executed. There is a variation pattern. In the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and similar to super reach, normal reach α, normal reach β, . A plurality of normal reach fluctuation patterns may be provided. Moreover, even in the super reach fluctuation pattern, five or more super reach fluctuation patterns may be provided.

As shown in FIG. 8-6 (A), for the special figure fluctuation time of the normal reach fluctuation pattern in which the reach effect of the normal reach in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment is executed, the super reach α which is the super reach fluctuation pattern, It is set shorter than super reach β, super reach γ, and super reach δ. In addition, super reach α, super reach β, super reach γ, super reach δ in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment Super reach variation pattern special figure fluctuation time in which super reach effect such as super reach is executed Super reach δ, super reach γ, super reach β, super reach α in order of special figure fluctuation pattern is set long.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the variable display result is set in order of super reach δ, super reach γ, super reach β, super reach α, normal reach so that the degree of expectation for a big hit becomes high, In the normal reach variation pattern and the super reach variation pattern, the longer the variation time is, the higher the expectation of the big hit is.

However, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, as the variation pattern of the super reach γ, it is reported that the variable display result is a big hit after once reporting that the variable display result is a win as the reach performance of the super reach γ. There is provided a variation pattern (PB1-5 shown in FIG. 8-6) for executing a resurrection effect. For this reason, the variation pattern of super reach γ for executing the resurrection effect is set to have a special figure variation time longer than the variation pattern of normal super reach γ and a special figure variation time shorter than the variation pattern of super reach δ. However, it is exceptionally the highest (100%) variation pattern for the expectation of a big hit.

The variation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, and super reach γ are also variation patterns for executing a pseudo continuous effect including temporary stop and re-variable display of decorative symbols during variable display. Of these, as the variation pattern of super reach α, two variation patterns with different special figure variation times are provided depending on whether the variable display result is a big hit or when it is lost. It is a variation pattern that executes the production once. Also, the variation pattern of the super reach β is a variation pattern in which the pseudo continuous effect is executed twice during the variable display. Also, the variation pattern of the super reach γ is a variation pattern in which the pseudo continuous effect is executed three times during the variable display regardless of whether or not the resurrection effect is executed.

In addition, as described above, in this characteristic portion 008SG, regarding the variation patterns of super reach α, super reach β, and super reach γ, the variation pattern of super reach γ is the variation pattern with the highest degree of expectation for a big hit, and super reach Since the variation pattern of α is the variation pattern with the lowest degree of expectation for big win, regarding the variation pattern for executing the pseudo-continuous performance, the variation pattern for executing the pseudo-continuous performance three times during the variable display has the highest degree of expectation for big win, The variation pattern in which the pseudo-continuous effect is executed once during the variable display is set to have the lowest degree of expectation for a big hit.

In addition, the variation pattern in this characteristic portion 008SG includes an image A meter 008SG005m (see FIG. 8-38) is displayed on the display device 5, and a meter effect for notifying an effect to be executed in the variable display according to the update mode of the meter 008SG005m, and a pseudo continuous effect in the variable display. There is an interrupt pseudo-suggestion effect that suggests execution, and a performance that is executed. The interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is a effect that is executed by interrupting the execution of the meter effect with either a success pattern or a failure pattern. The interrupt pseudo consecutive suggestion effect is a effect that prompts the player to defeat the enemy character displayed on the image display device 5 by repeatedly pressing the push button 31B. When the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in a success pattern, execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is reported when an enemy character displayed on the image display device 5 is knocked down by the player's continuous pressing operation of the push button 31B. When the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in a failure pattern, the enemy character displayed on the image display device 5 is not knocked down by the player's continuous pressing operation of the push button 31B, so that the pseudo-continuous effect is not executed. execution is suggested.

It should be noted that after the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, the meter effect is resumed after the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (B), non-reach variation patterns (PA1-1 to PA1-4) and small hit variation patterns (PC1-1) are meter effects during variable display This is a variation pattern in which neither the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect is executed. In addition, the normal reach variation pattern (PA2-1A, PB1-1A), which does not execute a pseudo continuous effect during variable display and has a special figure variation time of 2000 ms, is a meter effect and an interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect during variable display. It is a variation pattern in which neither is executed.

In addition, the normal reach variation pattern (PA2-1B, PB1-1B), which does not execute a pseudo-continuous effect during variable display and has a special figure fluctuation time of 25000 ms, is a meter effect and an interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during variable display. Of these, only the meter effect is executed. In addition, in the meter effect, execution of the reach effect of the normal reach is notified finally.

In addition, the variation pattern (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) of Super Reach α, which executes a pseudo-continuous effect once during variable display and has a special figure variation time of 48000 ms, is both a meter effect and an interrupt pseudo-continuous effect. It is a variation pattern that executes During the variable display with these variable patterns (PA2-2A, PA1-2A), the interruption pseudo continuous suggestive effect is executed in the failure pattern while the meter effect is being executed. Then, after the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect in the failure pattern is completed, the interrupted meter effect due to the interruption of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is resumed. In the restarted meter effect, execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is finally notified.

In addition, the variation pattern (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) of Super Reach α, which executes a pseudo-continuous effect once during variable display and has a special figure variation time of 53000 ms, is both a meter effect and an interrupt pseudo-continuous effect. It is a variation pattern that executes During the variable display with these variable patterns (PA2-2B, PB1-2B), the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect is executed in the success pattern while the meter effect is being executed.

In addition, a variation pattern of super reach β (PA2-3, PB1-3) in which pseudo-continuous effects are performed twice during variable display and a variation pattern of super reach γ (PA2-3, PB1-3) in which pseudo-continuous effects are performed three times during variable display -4, PB1-4, PB1-5) is a variation pattern that executes both a meter effect and an interrupt pseudo-connection effect. During the variable display with these fluctuation patterns (PA2-3, PB1-3, PA2-4, PB1-4, PB1-5), the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern while the meter effect is being executed. be.

Also, in the variation patterns (PA2-5, PB1-6) of the super reach δ, only the meter effect is executed out of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. Incidentally, in the meter effect, execution of the reach effect of super reach δ is finally notified.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as described later, these fluctuation patterns, for example, the type of non-reach, the type of normal reach, the type of super reach, etc., the type of fluctuation pattern Rather than first determining and then determining the variation pattern belonging to the determined type, determination is made using only the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern without determining these types. , The present invention is not limited to this, for example, in addition to the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern, a random number for determining the type of variation pattern is provided, and fluctuations from the random number for determining the type of variation pattern After determining the type of pattern first, the variation pattern to be executed may be determined from among the variation patterns belonging to the determined type.

Further, in the characteristic part 008SG of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. This is not a limitation, and even if the variation pattern is the same, the content of variation (content of presentation) may differ according to the set value. For example, if the normal reach loss variation pattern PA2-1A is set to 1, the variation pattern will be normal reach loss, and if the set value is 2, the pseudo continuous effect will be performed twice. If the set value is 3 as a variation pattern that results in a non-reach loss when executed, a variation pattern that results in a super reach loss by executing the pseudo continuous effect three times, and so on.

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

The ROM 101 provided in the game control microcomputer 100 stores various table data and the like used for controlling the progress of the game in addition to the game control program. For example, the ROM 101 stores table data constituting a plurality of determination tables shown in FIGS. In addition, the ROM 101 stores table data constituting a plurality of control pattern tables used by the CPU 103 to output various control signals from the main substrate 11, and the variation mode of each symbol in variable display such as special symbols and normal symbols. A variation pattern table storing a plurality of types of variation patterns is stored.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment is configured so that the probability of winning a big hit (ball output rate) changes according to the set value. Specifically, in the special symbol normal processing of the special symbol process processing to be described later, by using the display result determination table (winning probability) according to the set value, the winning probability of the big hit (ball output rate) is changed. . The setting value consists of 6 stages from 1 to 6, and 6 is the highest ball payout rate, and the smaller the value is in the order of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the lower the ball payout rate is. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage for the player is the highest, and the lower the value is in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, the lower the advantage is. In other words, the set value is such that 6, which is the largest value, is the most disadvantageous value for the game hall side, and 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 are values that are more advantageous for the game hall side as the values decrease in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Become.

It should be noted that, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10, the magnification of the jackpot probability in the variable state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state and time saving state according to each setting value respectively Different (for example, if the setting value is 1, the multiplier of the jackpot probability in the probability variable state for the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time-saving state is 1.5 times, and if the setting value is 2, the probability for the jackpot probability in the normal state or the time-saving state The multiplier of the jackpot probability in the state is about 1.56 times, and if the setting value is 3, the multiplier of the jackpot probability in the variable state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state or the short-time state is 1.625 times). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the magnification of the jackpot probability in the probability variable state with respect to the jackpot probability in the normal state and time saving state at each setting value is all constant (for example, 5 times ) may be set.

In addition, in each first special figure display result determination table, regardless of the game state or setting value, the probability that the special figure display result is set to "small hit" and controlled to the small win game state is the same value. A judgment value is assigned as follows. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-7 and 8-8, in the first special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is regarded as a "small hit" regardless of the game state or setting value. The probability of being determined to control to the small winning game state is set to 1/200.

Judgment values are assigned so as to be the same values different from those in the graphic display result judgment table. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-9 and 8-10, in the second special figure display result determination table, the special figure display result is regarded as a "small hit" regardless of the game state or setting value. The probability of being determined to control to the small winning game state is set to 1/100.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, the probability that the special figure display result is controlled to the small hit game state as "small hit" regardless of the setting value is the same probability. , The present invention is not limited to this, and may vary the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to a small hit game state as a "small hit" according to the set value.

The invention is not limited to this, and the probability of determining that the special figure display result is controlled to the small winning game state as "small hit" regardless of the variable special figure may be the same probability.

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

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

Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the jackpot probability is set to 1020 as a reference value (jackpot reference value) for the jackpot determination value, and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases, thereby increasing the probability. go.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the range from 32767 to 33094 of the hit determination values determines the small hit regardless of the set value It is set to the common numerical range of the small hit judgment value.

That is, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, in the first special figure display result determination table in the case where the gaming state is a variable probability state, when the setting value is 1, the value can be in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the hit judgment values, only numbers within the common numerical range (1020 to 1346) are assigned to the "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot judgment values, the common numerical range Numbers within the range plus the non-common number range are assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases with 1347 as the reference as the set value increases.

For this reason, the jackpot probability is set to 1020 as a reference value (jackpot reference value) for the jackpot determination value, and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases, thereby increasing the probability. go.

In addition, in the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the variable probability state, the same as the first special figure display result determination table when the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, hit determination value Among them, the range from 32767 to 33094 is set to the common numerical range of the small hit determination value for judging the small hit regardless of the set value. Focusing on the case where the set value is 6 here, when the set value is 6, as described above, 1020 to 1674 of the hit determination values are set in the numerical range of the big hit determination value, while the small hit determination value The hit determination value is a numerical range different from the range of the big hit determination value in the case of the set value 6 (1020 to 1674), with 32767 as a reference value for the small hit determination value (small hit reference value), 32767 to 33094 Since it is set within the range, the numerical range of the small hit determination value is prevented from overlapping with the range of the big hit determination value which changes according to each set value.

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

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

That is, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, in the second special figure display result determination table in the case where the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, when the setting value is 1, the value in the range of 0 to 65535 Of the hit judgment values that can be taken, only numbers within the common numerical range (1020 to 1237) are assigned to "jackpot", while if the set value is 2 or more, among the jackpot judgment values, common Numbers within the numerical range plus the non-common numerical range are assigned to the "jackpot". Furthermore, the non-common numerical range increases from 1238 as the set value increases.

For this reason, the jackpot probability is set to 1020 as a reference value (jackpot reference value) for the jackpot determination value, and as the set value increases, the non-common numerical range that is continuous with the common numerical range increases, thereby increasing the probability. go.

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

Next, in the second special figure display result determination table when the gaming state is the variable probability state, the range of 1020 to 1346 among the hit determination values is the jackpot determination value for determining the big hit regardless of the set value. is set to a common numeric range for

In addition, when the set value is 1, only the common numerical range of the jackpot determination value for judging the jackpot is set (1020 to 1346 are assigned to the "jackpot"), while the set value 2 In the case of set value 6, a numerical range corresponding to each set value from 1347 is set as a non-common numerical range of the big hit determination value so as to be continuous from the common numerical range of the big hit determination value.

Furthermore, in each of these display result determination tables, if the variation special figure is the same, the numerical range of the small hit judgment value is the same regardless of the game state (the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value is identical). In addition, depending on whether the variable special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure, the number of judgment values included in the numerical range of the small hit judgment value differs (small value in the display result judgment table for the first special figure) The number of determination values included in the numerical range of the hit determination value is 328, while the number of determination values included in the numerical range of the small hit determination value in the second special figure display result determination table is about 655. 2 times) On the other hand, the numerical range itself of the small hit determination value is set to 32767 as a reference value (small hit reference value).

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

That is, the CPU 103 refers to the display result determination table corresponding to the set value set at that time, and if the value of MR1 matches any of the hit determination values corresponding to the big hit, the big hit (big hit) with respect to the special symbol. It is determined to be A to big hit C). Also, when MR1 coincides with one of the hit determination values corresponding to the small hit, it is determined that the special symbol is a small hit. That is, the winning of the big win and the small win is determined with a probability corresponding to the set value. The "probability" shown in FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10 indicates the probability (percentage) of a big win and the probability (percentage) of a small win. Determining whether or not to make a big hit means determining whether or not to control to the big win game state. It is also to decide whether or not to make it a big hit pattern. Also, determining whether or not to make a small hit means determining whether or not to control to a small winning game state, but the stop at the first special symbol display device 008SG004A or the second special symbol display device 008SG004B It is also to determine whether or not the design is to be a small winning design.

The jackpot game state by the "jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot in which five rounds (so-called five rounds) are repeated to change the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state that is advantageous to the player. B" is a normal open big win in which 10 rounds (so-called 10 rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated. Further, the jackpot game state by the "jackpot C" is a normal opening jackpot in which 15 rounds (so-called 15 rounds) of changing the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state advantageous to the player are repeated.

The time saving control executed after the end of the jackpot gaming state by "jackpot A" is that the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in the feature part 008SG of the present embodiment), or the special figure game of the predetermined number of times Before the game is executed, the game ends by entering a jackpot game state.

On the other hand, the high-precision control and time-saving control executed after the end of the big win game state of the big win B or the big win C are continuously executed until the big win occurs again after the big win game state ends. Therefore, when the reoccurring big win is the big win B or the big win C, the high accuracy control and the short-time control are executed again after the big win game state ends, so that the big win game state is continuous without going through the normal state. It is a so-called continuous state that occurs in

Thus, when using the fluctuation pattern determination tables A to D for loss, the ratio of determining the non-reach fluctuation pattern and the normal reach fluctuation pattern is set higher than the ratio of deciding the super reach fluctuation pattern. Also, when using the variation pattern determination table A to D for deviation, 701 to 850 of the determination values are super reach α deviation variation patterns, and 851 to 930 are super reach β deviation, regardless of the variation pattern determination table. Variation patterns, 931 to 970 are assigned to variation patterns of super reach γ deviation, and 971 to 997 are assigned to variation patterns of deviation of super reach δ, that is, if the variable display result is deviation, super reach Since the variation pattern is determined by the common determination ratio, it is possible to prevent the performance effect from deteriorating due to the variable display based on the super reach variation pattern not being executed.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, the variation pattern for loss is a variation pattern for loss of super reach α, a variation pattern for loss of super reach β, a variation pattern for loss of super reach γ, and a variation pattern for loss of super reach δ. Although each determination ratio exemplifies a form that is completely the same between each set value, the present invention is not limited to this. The determination rate of the pattern, the variation pattern of the deviation of super reach γ, and the variation pattern of deviation of super reach δ may be different for each set value.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, when the variable display result is lost, the determination ratio of the variation pattern of super reach is the same, but the present invention is limited to this. However, if the variable display result is out of range, the determination ratio of all variation patterns of non-reach, normal reach, and super reach may be the same, and any variation between non-reach and normal reach Only the determining proportions of the patterns may be identical.

In addition, the variation pattern (PA1-2) of non-reach deviation is shorter than the variation pattern (PA1-1) of non-reach deviation without shortening, and the fluctuation time is shorter than the fluctuation pattern (PA1-2). The deviation fluctuation pattern (PA1-3) has a shorter fluctuation time (see FIG. 8-6). Therefore, when the number of retained memories increases, a non-reach variation pattern with a short variation time is determined, making it easier to digest the retained memories, and the number of retained memories reaches the upper limit of 4. By starting winning when there is no reserve memory, it becomes difficult to generate useless starting prizes that are not reserved, and when the number of reserved memories is reduced, the fluctuation time is long. Determining the pattern (PA1-1) lengthens the variable display time, thereby preventing the loss of interest in the game due to non-execution of the variable display.

Further, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. Although the mode for determining the pattern is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of pending memories in the special symbol to be changed (for example, when executing the variable display of the first special symbol, the first A variation pattern may be determined using a different variation pattern determination table for losing according to the reserved memory number of special symbols, or the reserved memory number of the second special symbol when variable display of the second special symbol is executed.

Further, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, whether or not to execute the ready-to-win effect for each determined variation pattern and which ready-to-win effect to execute are associated one-to-one. , The present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not the production control CPU 120 executes the reach production based on the special figure fluctuation time of the fluctuation pattern, the variable display result, etc., and which reach production is executed It may be determined by lottery.

When there is a start prize to the first start prize mouth or the second start prize mouth, a start mouth prize designation command (first start mouth prize designation command or second start mouth prize designation command), or a pending memory number notification command ( Commands such as the first reserved memory number notification command or the second reserved memory number notification command) are transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 as one set. The storage area corresponding to the first special figure reservation storage and the storage area corresponding to the second special figure reservation storage in the start winning reception command buffer correspond to these commands, and the first special figure reservation storage and the second special A storage area (entry) is reserved for storing the data separately from the reserved storage of the drawing.

The storage contents of these storage areas (entries) will be described later when the start condition is satisfied and variable display of the highest reserved storage (buffer number "1-1" or buffer number "2-1") is started. It is shifted upward one by one as shown in FIG.

Effect control CPU120, at the time of start winning to the first start winning opening, stores the command from the beginning (the entry with the youngest buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the first special figure reservation storage of the reception command buffer at the time of start winning. Then, at the time of starting winning to the second starting winning opening, commands are stored from the head (the entry with the smallest buffer number) in the empty entry corresponding to the second special figure reservation storage of the receiving command buffer at the time of starting winning. At the time of starting winning, from the starting opening winning designation command to the reservation storage number notification command are sequentially transmitted. Therefore, if the command is received, each command is stored in the storage area corresponding to each of the end "1" to "4" of the buffer number corresponding to the first special figure pending storage or the second special figure pending storage. I will go.

Next, processing executed by the CPU 103 in the characterizing portion 008SG of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 8-15 is a flow chart showing the starting winning determination process (S101) shown in FIG. In the starting winning determination process, as shown in FIG. 8-15, the CPU 103 first detects a detection signal from the first starting opening switch 22A provided corresponding to the first starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6A. Based on this, it is determined whether or not the first starting port switch 22A is ON (step 008SGS501a). At this time, if the first starting port switch 22A is ON (step 008SGS501a; Y), the first special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the first special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value. (For example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) is determined (step 008SGS502). CPU103, for example by reading the 1st reservation memory number count value which is the storage value of the 1st reservation memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting section, it should be able to identify the number of the 1st special figure reservation memory. When the number of the first special figure reserved storage is not the upper limit (step 008SGS502; N), for example, the stored value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting section is set to "1" (step 008SGS503).

When the first starting port switch 22A is off at step 008SGS501a (step 008SGS501a; N), when the number of first special figure pending storage has reached the upper limit at step 008SGS502 (step 008SGS502; Y), variable Based on the detection signal from the second starting opening switch 22B provided corresponding to the second starting winning opening formed by the winning ball device 6B, it is determined whether the second starting opening switch 22B is on (step 008 SGS501b). At this time, if the second starting port switch 22B is on (step 008SGS501b; Y), the second special figure pending memory number, which is the number of reserved memories of the special figure game using the second special figure, is a predetermined upper limit value. (For example, "4" as the upper limit storage number) is determined (step 008SGS505). CPU103, for example by reading the second reservation memory number count value which is the stored value of the second reservation memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting unit, it is sufficient if it can identify the number of second special figure reservation memory. At step 008SGS505, when the number of second special figure pending storage is not the upper limit (step 008SGS505; N), for example, the storage value of the starting opening buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit is set to "2" (step 008 SGS506).

In addition, when the second starting port switch is not ON (step 008SGS501b; N) or when the number of second special figure reservation storage is the upper limit value (step 008SGS505; Y), the starting winning judgment processing is terminated.

After executing either of the processes of step 008SGS503 and step 008SGS506, update so as to add 1 to the number of special figure pending storage according to the starting opening buffer value which is the stored value of the starting opening buffer (step 008SGS507). For example, when the starting buffer value is "1", the first reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1, while when the starting buffer value is "2", the second reserved storage number count value is incremented by 1. In this way, the first reserved memory number count value is set to 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening and the first start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the first special figure is established. Updated to increase. In addition, the second reserved memory number count value is 1 when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening and the second start condition corresponding to the special figure game using the second special figure is established. Updated to increase. At this time, the total reserved storage number is also updated by adding 1 (step 008SGS508). For example, the total pending memory number count value, which is the stored value of the total pending memory number counter provided in the game control counter setting section, may be updated so as to add 1.

After executing the processing of step 008SGS508, the CPU 103 selects the random number MR1 for special figure display result determination and the jackpot type determination from among the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 104 and the random counter of the game control counter setting unit Numerical data indicating the random number MR2 for the fluctuation pattern determination and the random number MR3 for determining the variation pattern are extracted (step 008SGS509). Numerical data indicating each random number extracted in this way is stored by being set as suspension information at the head of the empty entry in the special figure suspension storage unit corresponding to the start buffer value (step 008SGS510). For example, when the start buffer value is "1", numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the first special figure reservation storage unit, while when the start buffer value is "2", the first Numerical data indicating random numbers MR1 to MR3 are stored in the 2 special figure reservation storage unit.

The numerical data indicating the random number MR1 for judging the result of the special figure display and the random number MR2 for judging the type of the big hit determine whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the decorative symbol is to be a "big hit", and whether or not the variable display result is determined. It is used to determine the jackpot type in the case of "jackpot". The random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern is used to determine the variation pattern including the variable display time of the special symbols and decorative symbols. The CPU 103 executes the process of step 008SGS509 to extract numerical data representing all of the random numbers used for determining the variable display mode including the result of variable display of special symbols and decorative symbols and the variable display time.

Following the processing of step 008SGS510, the transmission setting of the start-up winning designation command according to the start-up buffer value is performed (step 008SGS511). For example, when the starting opening buffer value is "1", the storage address of the first starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer. 12 for transmitting the first starting entry winning designation command. On the other hand, when the starting opening buffer value is "2", the storage address of the second starting opening winning designation command table in the ROM 101 is stored in the buffer area of the transmission command buffer. Make settings for sending the second start winning designation command. The start opening winning designation command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

Following the processing of step 008SGS511, the winning random number value determination processing is executed (step 008SGS512). After that, for example, by storing the storage address of the pending storage number notification command table in the ROM 101 in the buffer area specified by the transmission command pointer in the transmission command buffer, etc., the pending storage number notification command is transmitted to the effect control board 12 (Step 008SGS513). The reserved storage number notification command set in this way is transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 by executing the command control process of S27 shown in FIG. be done.

After executing the process of step 008SGS513, it is determined whether or not the starting buffer value is "1" (step 008SGS514). At this time, if the start buffer value is "1" (step 008SGS514; Y), the start buffer is cleared and the stored value is initialized to "0" (step 008SGS515). move on. On the other hand, when the starting buffer value is "2" (step 008SGS514; N), after clearing the starting buffer and initializing the stored value to "0" (step 008SGS516), End the determination process. Thus, even when both the first starter switch 22A and the second starter switch 22B simultaneously detect valid starting winnings of game balls, processing based on the detection of both valid starting winnings can be reliably completed.

FIG. 8-16(A) is a flow chart showing an example of the process executed in step 008SGS512 of FIG. 8-15 as the winning random number determination process. In this characteristic part 008SG, when the variable display of special symbols and decoration symbols is started, in the special symbol normal process (step S22 in FIG. 5), the display corresponding to the game state, the special symbol for executing the variable display, and the set value Result determination table (see FIGS. 8-7 to 8-10) is selected, and the selected display result determination table is used to set the special figure display result (variable display result of special symbols) as "jackpot" and the jackpot game state It is determined whether or not to control to a small hit game state as a determination of whether to control to a special figure display result as a "small hit".

On the other hand, apart from these determinations, at the timing when the game ball is detected in the starting winning opening (first starting winning opening or second starting winning opening), the CPU 103 executes the random value determination process at the time of winning in step 008 SGS512. By doing so, it is determined whether or not it is determined to stop display the big hit pattern or the small hit pattern as a special figure display result, and whether or not the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes a predetermined display mode with super reach. I do. As a result, before the start of the variable display of the special symbols and decorative symbols based on the detection of the game ball that has entered the starting winning hole, that is, at the start of the variable display, it is determined whether or not to make a big win or a small win. Prior to this, it is determined that the special figure display result is "big hit" or "small hit", and in which category the variable display mode of the decorative pattern is the variable display mode, and based on this determination result Then, the effect control CPU 120 or the like executes a pre-reading notice effect such as a pending display notice effect, as will be described later.

8-16 (A) in the random number determination process shown in FIG. 8-16 (A), the CPU103 first, for example, by checking the state of the time saving flag and probability variation flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 008SG152, etc., Pachinko game Identify the current gaming state of machine 1 (step 008SGS521). The CPU 103 specifies that it is in a probability variable state (high probability high base state) when the probability variable flag is on, and is in a short time state (low probability high base state) when the probability variable flag is off and the time saving flag is on. , and specify that it is in a normal state (low probability low base state) when both the probability variation flag and the time saving flag are off.

Following the processing of step 008SGS521, the CPU 103 identifies the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (step 008SGS522). Next, a display result determination table is selected and set according to the current game state, start buffer value and set value (step 008SGS524).

Specifically, when the starting port buffer value is "1", if the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the first special figure shown in FIG. 8-7 (A) Set the display result determination table, if the setting value is 1 and the game state is a variable probability state, set the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 (B), and the setting value is 2 And if the game state is a normal state or a time saving state, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-7 (C) is set, the set value is 2 and the game state is a variable If there is, set the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. ) to set the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. to set.

Further, when the starting port buffer value is "1", if the set value is 4 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, the first special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 8-8 (A) Set the table, set the setting value is 4 and when the gaming state is a variable probability state, set the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-8 (B), the setting value is 5 and When the game state is a normal state or a time saving state, the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. Set the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-8 (D), the set value is 6 and the game state is normal state or time saving state shown in FIG. 8-8 (E) Set the first special figure display result determination table, and set the first special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-8 (F) when the set value is 6 and the game state is a variable probability state .

Further, when the starting port buffer value is "2", if the set value is 1 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 8-9 (A) Set the table, set the setting value is 1 and if the gaming state is a variable probability state, set the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-9 (B), the setting value is 2 and When the game state is a normal state or a time saving state, the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. Set the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-9 (D), and if the setting value is 3 and the game state is a normal state or a time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-9 (E) Set the second special figure display result determination table, and set the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. .

Further, when the starting port buffer value is "2", if the set value is 4 and the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state, the second special figure display result determination shown in FIG. 8-10 (A) Set the table, if the set value is 4 and the game state is a variable probability state, set the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-10 (B), set the set value is 5 and If the game state is a normal state or a time saving state, set the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. The second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-10 (D) is set, and if the set value is 6 and the game state is the normal state or the time saving state, it is shown in FIG. 8-10 (E) Set the second special figure display result determination table, and set the second special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 8-10 (F) when the set value is 6 and the game state is a variable probability state .

After setting the display result determination table, the variable display result determination module (step 008SGS525) performs processing to determine whether the special figure display result is "big hit", "small hit", or "loss". In addition, in the variable display result judgment module, the numerical range of the big hit judgment value and the numerical range of the small hit judgment value in the set variable display result judgment table are compared with the value of the random number MR1 for judging the special figure display result, If the value of the numerical value MR1 is within the numerical range of the big hit determination value, the variable display result is determined as a big hit, and if the value of the random number MR1 is within the numerical range of the small hit determination value, the variable display result is determined as a small hit. However, if the value of the random number MR1 is out of the numerical range of the big hit determination value and out of the numerical range of the small hit determination value, the variable display result may be determined as lost.

Then, the CPU 103 determines whether or not it is determined at step 008SGS525 that the result of the variable display is a big hit (step 008SGS526). If it is determined that the game will not be a big hit (step 008SGS526; N), it is determined whether or not it is determined that the variable display result will be a small hit in step 008SGS525 (step 008SGS527). When it is determined that it will not be a small hit, that is, when it is determined that it will be lost in the variable display (step 008SGS527; N), the first symbol, which is a symbol designation command corresponding to the variable display result being "loss" The designated command transmission setting is executed (step 008SGS527a), and it is determined whether or not the time saving flag is set, that is, whether or not the current gaming state is the time saving state (step 008SGS528).

If the time saving flag is not set (step 008SGS528; N), select and set the deviation pattern determination table A shown in FIG. If yes (step 008SGS528; Y), select and set the deviation pattern determination table D shown in FIG. 8-14(D), and proceed to step 008SGS536 (step 008SGS530).

When it is determined at step 008SGS526 that the variable display will result in a big hit (step 008SGS526; Y), the jackpot type is determined based on the jackpot type determination random number MR2 and the jackpot type determination table (step 008SGS533). At this time, the CPU 103, according to the variable special figure ("first special figure" corresponding to "1" or "second special figure" corresponding to "2") specified corresponding to the start buffer value , select table data for big hit type determination from the table data constituting the big hit type determination table. Then, by referring to the selected table data for determining the jackpot type, it is determined which of the plurality of types the jackpot type is determined.

In addition, a pattern designation command corresponding to the determined jackpot type, that is, a second pattern designation command in the case of a jackpot A, a third pattern designation command in the case of a jackpot B, and a fourth pattern designation command in the case of a jackpot C. Execute the transmission setting of the symbol designation command (step 008SGS534), then select and set the big hit variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-13 (A) as a table for determining the big hit variation pattern ( Step 008SGS535), go to step 008SGS536.

Further, when it is determined in step 008SGS527 that the variable display results in a small hit (step 008SGS527; Y), the sixth symbol designation command, which is a symbol designation command corresponding to the variable display result of "small hit", is executed. Execute the transmission setting (step 008SGS531), select and set the small hit variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 8-13 (B) (step 008SGS532), and proceed to step 008SGS536.

In addition, in this feature part 008SG, in these variation pattern determination table A to variation pattern determination table D for loss, a determination value of 1 to 700 is assigned to the non-reach variation pattern and the normal reach variation pattern in common. 701 to 997 are assigned super reach fluctuation patterns.

Therefore, if the variable display result is a loss, the variation pattern is determined using the variation pattern determination table A for loss or the variation pattern determination table D for loss. Even if the number of pending memories changes later, it will always be a non-reach or super reach variation pattern, so in the determination at the time of starting winning, the variation pattern determination table A for loss or the variation pattern determination table D for loss is used. is determined.

After executing any of the processing of steps 008SGS529, step 008SGS530, step 008SGS532, and step 008SGS535, each variation pattern determination table set in each of these steps and numerical data indicating the random number MR3 for variation pattern determination is used to determine a variation category according to the range of determination values that include the random number MR3 (step 008SGS536). In this characteristic part 008SG, as shown in FIG. A variation category that is a variable display mode of "super reach", and a variable display mode other than "non-reach" and "super reach" (for example, normal reach and small hit) "Other" variation category, and whether or not it is determined to be in such a fluctuation category based on the random value MR3.

After that, after performing the setting for transmitting the variation category designation command according to the determination result by the process of step 008SGS536 to the effect control board 12 (step 008SGS537), the random value determination process at the time of winning is ended.

Incidentally, the symbol designation command and the variation category designation command are transmitted by the CPU 103 executing command control processing.

Next, processing executed by the effect control CPU 120 in the characterizing portion 008SG of the present embodiment will be described. 8-17 is a flow chart showing the variable display start setting process (S171) shown in FIG.

In the variable display start setting process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first variable display start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS271). If the first variable display start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS271; Y), to the buffer number "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure reservation storage in the start winning reception command buffer Various command data and various flags stored in correspondence are shifted upward by one buffer number (step 008 SGS272). The contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift them.

If the first variable display start command reception flag is not set at step 008SGS271 (step 008SGS271; N), it is determined whether or not the second variable display start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS273). If the second variable display start command reception flag is not set (step 008SGS273; N), the variable display start setting process is terminated, and if the second variable display 2 start command reception flag is set (step 008SGS273 ; Y), various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers "2-0" to "2-4" of the second special figure reservation storage in the receive command buffer at the time of start winning, buffer number 1 It is shifted upward by pieces (step 008SGS274). The content of the buffer number "2-0" is erased because it cannot be shifted because there is no place to shift.

After executing step 008SGS272 or step 008SGS274, the effect control CPU 120 reads the variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (step 008SGS275).

Next, the data stored in the display result designation command storage area (that is, the received display result designation command) and the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern designation command determine the display result (stop design) of the decorative pattern (step 008 SGS276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop pattern of the decorative pattern according to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores the data indicating the stop pattern of the determined decorative pattern in the decorative pattern display result storage area. do.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, when the received display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit A, for example, a decorative pattern in which three patterns are even-numbered as the stop pattern is displayed. Determine the combination (jackpot pattern). Further, if the received display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the big hit B, for example, a decoration pattern in which 3 patterns are arranged in an odd number other than "7" or "3" as the stop pattern. Determine the combination (jackpot pattern). Then, if the received display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the jackpot C, for example, a combination of decorative patterns in which three patterns are "7" or "3" as a stop pattern (jackpot design). Also, if the received display result designation command is the result designation command of the fifth variable table that indicates a small hit, for example, three consecutive numbers such as "123" or "246", or three consecutive even numbers (or (odd number), etc., to determine a combination of decoration patterns (small hit pattern). Then, if the received display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command indicating the loss, if the variation pattern designation command indicates the reach fluctuation pattern, a combination of decorative patterns that become reach (reach loss pattern) is determined, and if the variation pattern designation command indicates a non-reach variation pattern, a combination of decorative symbols (non-reach loss symbols) that will be non-reach except for the above-mentioned small hit symbols is determined.

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

After executing step 008SGS276, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of super reach (step 008SGS277). Whether or not the variation pattern of the variable display is the super reach variation pattern may be specified from the variation pattern specification command read in 008SGS275. If the variation pattern of the variable display is the variation pattern of super reach (step 008SGS277; Y), it is determined whether or not a cut-in effect, which will be described later, is executed during the reach effect and the effect pattern of the cut-in effect. Cut-in effect determination processing (step 008SGS278) is executed, and the process proceeds to step 008SGS279. Also, if the variation pattern of the variable display is not the super reach variation pattern (step 008SGS277; N), the process proceeds to step 008SGS279 without executing the processing of step 008SGS278.

Then, in step 008SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 executes a notice effect determination process for determining whether or not to execute a notice effect, which will be described later, in the variable display and the effect pattern of the notice effect (step 008SGS279). In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8-27 to 8-29, the notice effect is a effect that can be executed during the variable display in the non-reach fluctuation pattern, and the variable display starts in the normal reach and super reach fluctuation patterns. It is an effect that can be executed in the period from the time to the timing of reach.

After executing step 008SGS279, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command (step 008SGS280). Then, the process timer in process data 1 of the selected process table is started (step 008SGS281).

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

Next, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display as a component for effect) according to the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, lamp control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The device 5, various lamps as performance parts, speakers 8L and 8R as performance parts, and operation units (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) are controlled (step 008SGS282). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to display an image corresponding to the variation pattern on the image display device 5 . In addition, it outputs a control signal (lamp control execution data) to the lamp control board 14 in order to control lighting/extinguishing of various lamps. Also, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the audio control board 13 in order to output audio from the speakers 8L and 8R.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls so that the decorative pattern is displayed variably according to the variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern designation command one-to-one, but the effect control CPU 120 may select a variation pattern to be used from among a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the variation pattern designation command.

Then, a variable time timer is set to a value corresponding to the variable time (variable display time) specified by the variable pattern designation command (step 008SGS283). Also, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (step 008SGS284). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns to the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses. A signal corresponding to the image data obtained is output to the image display device 5, and the image display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing variable display of the decoration pattern. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect process during variable display (S172), and the variable display start setting process is terminated (step 008SGS285).

8-18 to 8-20 are flowcharts showing the cut-in effect determination process shown in FIG. 8-17. In the cut-in effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach α or super reach β (step 008SGS301). If the variation pattern is a super reach α or super reach β variation pattern (step 008 SGS301; Y), the cut-in effect determination process is terminated, and if the variation pattern is a super reach γ or super reach δ variation pattern (step 008SGS301; N) further determines whether or not the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach γ (step 008SGS302).

If the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach γ (step 008SGS301; Y), it is determined whether the variation pattern is PB1-5, that is, the variation pattern of super reach γ for executing the resurrection effect (step 008 SGS303). When the variation pattern is PB1-5 (step 008SGS303; Y), the effect control CPU 120 identifies the jackpot type (step 008SGS304), and determines whether the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B ( step 008 SGS 305).

When the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B (step 008SGS305; Y), the presence or absence of cut-in performance and the performance pattern are determined based on the fact that the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B (step 008SGS306). , go to step 008 SGS 308 . In step 008SGS306, as shown in FIG. 8-21(A), the variation pattern is PB1-5, and the variable display result (jackpot type) is jackpot A or jackpot B. Runs are determined at a rate of 10%. In addition, as the cut-in effect execution, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern CI-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern CI-2 at a rate of 55%, and pattern CI-3 at a rate of 5%. , to pattern CI-4 at a rate of 0%.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-42, the cut-in effect in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment is to display the image of the push button 31B on the image display device 5 during the reach effect of super reach γ, The user is prompted to operate the push button 31B. When the push button 31B is operated during the operation reception period of the push button 31B, or when the operation reception period of the push button 31B ends without the push button 31B being operated, each effect is displayed on the image display device 5. Display effects and cut-in images according to patterns.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-23 and 8-42, if the effect pattern is pattern CI-1, the image display device 5 displays the cut-in image 008SG005w with a blue effect, and the effect pattern is If it is pattern CI-2, the image display device 5 displays the cut-in image 008SG005x with a red effect. If the effect pattern is pattern CI-4, the image display device 5 displays the cut-in image 008SG005z with a rainbow effect.

Further, when the jackpot type is the jackpot C (step 008SGS305; N), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not to execute a cut-in effect and the effect pattern based on the fact that the jackpot type is the jackpot C (step 008SGS307). ), go to step 008 SGS308.

As described above, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. When the performance is not executed, the ratio of the variable display result to the big win (the degree of expectation of the big win) is the lowest, and when the cut-in performance is executed in the pattern CI-1, the cut-in performance is executed in the pattern CI-2. In this case, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, it is set so that the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit increases in the order of the case where the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-4. (Big hit expectation in cut-in effect: non-execution<pattern CI-1<pattern CI-2<pattern CI-3<pattern CI-4).

In particular, when the cut-in performance is executed in the pattern CI-4, regardless of the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1, it is determined that the variable display result is the big win and the big win type is the big win C.例文帳に追加

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8-21, 8-22 and 8-24, the cut-in effect is performed in pattern CI-3 when performing variable display with the fluctuation patterns of super reach γ and super reach δ. The execution ratio is set to be the lowest (0%) when the set value is any one of 1 to 3 and the variation pattern is super reach γ deviation/super reach δ deviation. Then, when the variation pattern is the super reach γ jackpot for executing the resurrection performance, the set value is any one of 1 to 3 and the variation pattern does not execute the resurrection performance - the super reach γ jackpot/super reach δ jackpot, the set value. is 4 and the variation pattern is a super ready-to-win γ jackpot that does not execute the resurrection performance, the set value is 5 and the variation pattern is a super ready-to-win γ jackpot that does not execute the resurrection performance, the set value is 6 and the variation pattern. is a super ready-to-win γ jackpot that does not execute the resurrection effect, the ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 is set to increase.

Also, when the variation pattern is the super reach γ variation pattern (PA2-4 and PB1-4) that does not execute the resurrection effect, when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is 1 to 3, When the cut-in performance is executed in pattern CI-3, while it is determined that the variable display result will be a big win (any of the big wins A to C), the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1. is 4 to 6, even if the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the variable display result may be wrong. That is, when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, the cut-in is higher than when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 1 to 3. The degree of expectation for a big hit is set low when the effect is executed in the pattern CI-3. Therefore, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, when the ready-to-win effect of super reach γ is executed, the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is lost, the pachinko game machine 1 is set to any one of 4 to 6.

On the other hand, if we pay attention to the super reach γ jackpot variation pattern (PB1-5) that executes the resurrection effect, the cut-in effect is pattern CI-3 more than the super reach γ jackpot variation pattern (PB1-4) that executes the resurrection effect. and pattern CI-4 are set low. Therefore, in the case where the variable display is executed in the super reach γ jackpot variation pattern in which the resurrection effect is not executed, the cut-in effect is executed in CI-3 and the failure is notified, so that the pachinko game machine In spite of the player recognizing that the set value set to 1 is one of 4 to 6, the resurrection performance is executed later and the big win is notified, thereby pachinko. This prevents the player from being discouraged when the set value set in the gaming machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, which becomes indefinite.

Also, when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6 and the variation pattern is the super reach γ variation pattern (PA2-4 and PB1-4) in which the resurrection effect is not executed. If you pay attention to it, when the variable display result is a big hit, the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3 is set to be the same for all set values, but when the variable display result is a loss. , the higher the setting value, the higher the ratio of execution of the cut-in effect in pattern CI-3 (the ratio of execution of pattern CI-3 at the time of failure when setting values are 4 to 6: setting value 4 < setting value 5<setting value 6).

Therefore, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, the higher the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the more the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is different. Since the frequency becomes higher, the player can expect that the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, and the game interest can be improved. there is

Also, when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6 and the variation pattern is the super reach γ variation pattern (PA2-4 and PB1-4) in which the resurrection effect is not executed. , if the set values set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are the same and the variable display results are different, if the game state is the high-probability-high base state, the game state is the low-probability-high-base state or the low-probability state. The pattern CI-3 is set to perform the cut-in effect at a higher rate than in the low base state.

Therefore, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 in the variable display of the high-probability-high base state, and the variable display result is lost, so that the game state is low-probability. Even after shifting to the low base state, the pachinko game machine 1 is set to one of the set values 4 to 6, so that the player can be urged to continue the game, so that the interest in the game can be improved. ing.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 8-21(B) to 8-21(E), focusing on the case where the variable display result is lost, the higher the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the cut-in. The performance execution ratio is set high. In other words, in the present characteristic part 008SG, it is suggested that any one of the set values 4 to 6 is set in the pachinko game machine 1 for the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed when the variable display result is lost. Therefore, in addition to whether or not the cut-in performance is executed in a performance pattern with a high degree of expectation for a big hit, the player can be made to pay attention to whether or not the cut-in performance is executed. It is possible to improve a game interest.

8-21 and 8-22 are merely examples, and the determination ratio of the cut-in effect pattern is determined according to the gaming machine to which the present invention is applied. It may be made different from the characteristic portion 008SG as appropriate. However, if the determination ratio of the effect pattern of these cut-in effects is appropriately changed, the tendency of the degree of expectation of the jackpot of each effect pattern (the degree of expectation of the jackpot in the cut-in effect: non-execution < pattern CI-1 < pattern CI-2 <Pattern CI-3 <Pattern CI-4) itself is maintained so that a player does not misunderstand the degree of expectation for a big win according to the production pattern of the cut-in production when the cut-in production is executed. is desirable.

Further, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. In this example, the ratio of executing the cut-in effect during the variable display is changed according to the setting value set in the variable display and the variable display result, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the super In the case of performing variable display with the variation pattern of reach γ or super reach δ, cut-in effect may be performed without fail during the variable display. In this way, when the cut-in effect is always executed during the variable display of super reach γ and super reach δ, if the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, The percentage assigned to non-execution of the cut-in effect when the variable display result is a loss (see FIGS. 8-21 (C) to 8-21 (E)) is the pattern CI-1 or By allocating to both the pattern CI-1 and the pattern CI-2, the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 may be maintained so as not to differ from the characteristic portion 008SG. By doing so, it is possible to improve interest by executing cut-in effects during the variable display of super reach γ and super reach δ, while preventing excessive cut-in effects from being executed in pattern CI-3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing that the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6.

FIG. 8-25 is a flow chart showing the advance notice effect determination process in FIG. 8-17. In the announcement effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first identifies the variable display result and the variation pattern (step 008SGS361). Then, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is a small hit (step 008SGS362). If the result of the variable display is a small hit (step 008SGS362; Y), the advance notice effect determination process is terminated, and if the result of the variable display is a big hit or a loss (step 008SGS362; N), execution of cut-in effect is further determined. In other words, it is determined whether or not any cut-in effect pattern is stored (step 008SGS363).

If execution of cut-in effect is determined (step 008SGS363; Y), it is further determined whether or not the stored effect pattern of cut-in effect is pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 ( step 008 SGS 364). If the stored effect pattern of the cut-in effect is pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 (step 008SGS364; Y), the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4. Then, based on the specified variable display result and variation pattern, whether or not to execute the announcement effect and the effect pattern are determined (step 008SGS365).

On the other hand, when it is decided not to execute the cut-in effect (step 008SGS363; N) or when the stored effect pattern is pattern CI-1 or CI-2 (step 008SGS364; N), variable display It is determined whether the result is a big hit (step 008SGS366). When the variable display result is a big hit (step 008SGS366; Y), the big hit type is specified (step 008SGS367), and based on the specified big win type, whether or not to execute the advance notice effect and the effect pattern are determined (step 008SGS368). .

If the result of the variable display is no (step 008SGS366; N), whether or not to execute the notice effect and the effect pattern are determined based on the specified result of variable display and the variation pattern (step 008SGS369).

Specifically, in the process of step 008SGS365, as shown in FIG. 8-26(A), when the result of the variable display is a big hit, it is decided not to execute the notice effect at a rate of 15%. In addition, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the pattern YE-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, the pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 55%, and the pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. In addition, when the variable display result is lost and the variation pattern is super reach (super reach lost), non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 50%. In addition, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the pattern YE-1 is determined at a rate of 30%, the pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 20%, and the pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

In addition, when the variable display result is lost and the variation pattern is normal reach (normal reach lost), non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. In addition, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the pattern YE-1 is determined at a rate of 15%, the pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 5%, and the pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is lost and the variation pattern is non-reach (non-reach lost), non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. In addition, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the pattern YE-1 is determined at a rate of 5%, the pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 0%, and the pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

Incidentally, as described above, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, the case where the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is lost is set to the pachinko game machine 1. This is the case where the set value is any one of 4 to 6 and the variation pattern is the variation pattern of super reach γ deviation (PA2-4).

As shown in FIGS. 8-26(C) and 8-37, pattern YE-1 is an effect pattern for displaying an image 008SG005s of character A on the image display device 5 with a blue effect. , and pattern YE-3 is a production pattern in which the image 008SG005t of character B is displayed on the image display device 5 with a red effect, and pattern YE-3 is a production pattern in which the image 008SG005u of character C is displayed on the image display device 5 with a gold effect. , pattern YE-4 is an effect pattern for displaying a collective image 008SG005v of characters A to C on the image display device 5 with a rainbow color effect.

Further, in the process of step 008 SGS368, as shown in FIG. 8-26(B), when the jackpot type is jackpot A or jackpot B, non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. In addition, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 at a rate of 45%, and pattern YE-3 at a rate of 15%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the jackpot type is the jackpot C, non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 10%. In addition, as the execution of the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 at a rate of 40%, and pattern YE-3 at a rate of 15%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 5%.

In addition, in the processing of step 008 SGS369, as shown in FIG. 8-26(B), if the variable display result is lost and the variation pattern is super reach (super reach lost), the non-execution of the notice effect is reduced by 50%. determined by the ratio of In addition, as execution of the advance notice effect, the effect pattern is determined to be pattern YE-1 at a rate of 30%, pattern YE-2 at a rate of 15%, and pattern YE-3 at a rate of 5%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Furthermore, when the variable display result is a loss and the variation pattern is normal reach (normal reach loss), non-execution of the advance notice effect is determined at a rate of 80%. In addition, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the pattern YE-1 is determined at a rate of 15%, the pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 5%, and the pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%. Further, when the variable display result is lost and the variation pattern is non-reach (non-reach lost), non-execution of the notice effect is determined at a rate of 95%. In addition, as the execution of the advance notice effect, the pattern YE-1 is determined at a rate of 5%, the pattern YE-2 is determined at a rate of 0%, and the pattern YE-3 is determined at a rate of 0%, Pattern YE-4 is determined at a rate of 0%.

As described above, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit (big hit expectation) is set to be the lowest when the notice effect is not executed during the variable display, and the notice effect is patterned. When executed in YE-1, when the notice effect is executed in pattern YE-2, when the notice effect is executed in YE-3, when the notice effect is executed in YE-4. It is set so that the ratio of the result to be a big hit is high (Expectation of the big hit of the advance notice effect: non-execution of notice effect <execution in pattern YE-1<execution in pattern YE-2<execution in pattern YE-3<pattern YE-4).

In particular, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (B), when it is determined that the cut-in effect is not to be executed, or the cut-in effect is a pattern CI- in which the expectation of a big hit is lower than that of the pattern CI-3 and the pattern CI-4. 1 or pattern CI-2 is determined, there is provided a case where the announcement effect is executed in pattern YE-4 only when the jackpot type is jackpot C. Therefore, in the characterizing portion 008SG of the present embodiment, in addition to whether or not the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-3, it is also possible to determine whether the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-4. It is possible to attract people's attention.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-26 (A), pattern CI-3, which has a higher expectation for a big hit than pattern CI-1 or pattern CI-2, or a variable display result is a big hit as a cut-in production pattern. In the case where the pattern CI-4 that determines that the jackpot type is the jackpot C is determined, YE-3 or YE-4 will be used as the effect pattern of the notice effect regardless of the variable display result or the variation pattern. It is set to never run. Therefore, when the variable display result is a big hit, the cut-in effect can be executed only with pattern YE-1 or pattern YE-2, so that the cut-in effect is started when the variable display result is a big hit. This prevents the player from recognizing it at a timing (starting timing of the advance notice effect) before the timing. Furthermore, when the variable display result is a loss, both the advance notice effect and the cut-in effect are not executed in the effect pattern with a high expectation of the big win, so the player is excessively concerned about the variable display result becoming a big win. It is prevented to expect

After executing any one of steps 008SGS365, step 008SGS368, and step 008SGS369, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not execution of the advance notice effect is determined (step 008SGS370). If it is determined to execute the notice effect (step 008SGS370; Y), the effect pattern determined by one of the processes of step 008SGS365, step 008SGS368, and step 008SGS369 is stored (step 008SGS371), and a timer for waiting for the start of notice effect is set. is set, and the advance notice effect determination process is terminated (step 008SGS372). If it is decided not to execute the notice effect (step 008SGS370; N), the notice effect determination process is terminated without executing the processes of steps 008SGS371 and 008SGS372.

It should be noted that, when the execution of the notice effect is determined in the notice effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements the value of the timer for waiting for the start of the notice effect by -1 each time the effect process during variable display (S172) is executed. When the performance start waiting timer times out, a process table for advance notice performance corresponding to the determined performance pattern is set. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect device (image display device 5, speakers 8L and 8R, game effect lamp 9) in accordance with the contents of the data (process data) in the process table for notice effect each time the effect process during variable display is executed. etc.) can be used to execute the forewarning effect.

As described above, by making it possible to determine the execution of the cut-in effect and the advance notice effect within the variable display start setting process, as shown in FIGS. , During the variable display, the notice effect can be executed only in the pattern YE-1, and in the variation pattern of the deviation of the normal reach, the notice effect is performed in the pattern YE-1 and the pattern YE-2 during the period before the reach during the variable display. In the fluctuation patterns of super reach α and super reach β, it is possible to execute the notice effect in the pattern YE-1 to pattern YE-3 during the period before the reach during the variable display. ing. In the normal reach, super reach α, and super reach β fluctuation patterns, the cut-in effect cannot be executed in the period after the reach.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 8-30 and 8-33, in the fluctuation patterns of super reach γ and super reach δ, the advance notice effect is executed in patterns YE-1 to YE-3 in the period before reach. In the period after reach, the cut-in effects can be executed in patterns CI-1 to CI-3. However, when execution of the cut-in effect in pattern CI-3 is determined, the advance notice effect can be executed only in pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8-29(A) and 8-29(B), in the variation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot with no resurrection effect and the variation pattern of the super reach γ jackpot with the resurrection effect, In the period before reach, the advance notice effect can be executed with pattern YE-1 to pattern YE-4, and in the period after reach, the cut-in effect can be executed with pattern CI-1 to pattern CI-4. . However, when execution of the cut-in effect in pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 is determined, the advance notice effect can be executed only in pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2.

In addition, in the normal reach fluctuation pattern (PA2-1B, PB1-1B) that executes the meter effect, as shown in FIG. executed. In the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is increased from 0% to 100% in accordance with the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B. In the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 20% in accordance with the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B, thereby notifying that the ready-to-win effect of the normal reach will be executed after the meter effect. . Then, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 20%, or when the execution period of the meter effect has passed, the reach effect of the normal reach is executed after the meter effect is finished.

In addition, in the super reach α variation pattern (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) in which the special figure variation time is 48000 ms and the pseudo continuous effect is executed once, as shown in FIG. 8-28 (A), the notice After the effect executable period, the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect are executed. Specifically, in the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33% in response to the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B, or when the period M (the meter effect execution period M) elapses from the start of the meter effect. , the meter effect is interrupted and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect is executed in a failure pattern.

After the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is completed, the meter effect interrupted by the execution of the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is resumed. In the resumed meter effect, the player again presses the push button 31B for a long time to increase and update the meter 008SG005m. In the restarted meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 50% in response to the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B, thereby notifying that the pseudo-continuous effect will be executed after the meter effect. be done. Then, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 50%, or when the execution period of the restarted meter effect has passed, a temporary stop and re-variable display of the decoration pattern is performed as a pseudo-continuous effect after the meter effect is finished. It is executed, and further the reach effect of super reach α is executed.

In addition, the variation pattern of super reach α (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) in which the special figure variation time is 53000 ms and the pseudo continuous effect is performed once, the super reach β variation pattern in which the pseudo continuous effect is performed twice 8-28 (B) and the figure As shown in 8-29 to FIG. 8-32, the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect are executed after the notice effect executable period. Specifically, in the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33% in response to the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B, or when the period M (the meter effect execution period M) elapses from the start of the meter effect. , the meter effect is interrupted and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect is executed in a success pattern. It should be noted that when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in a success pattern, the meter effect is not restarted after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect, and the number of times of the pseudo-continuous effect and super Reach production (if it is a variation pattern of super reach α, one pseudo continuous production and reach production of super reach α, if it is a variation pattern of super reach β, two pseudo continuous productions and reach production of super reach β) , if it is a fluctuation pattern of super reach γ, three times of pseudo-continuous performance and reach performance of super reach γ).

Further, in the fluctuation pattern of super reach δ, as shown in FIGS. 8-33 and 8-34, the meter effect is executed after the notice effect executable period. Specifically, in the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 100% according to the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B, so that the reach effect of super reach δ is executed after the meter effect. be notified. Then, when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 100%, or when the execution period of the meter effect has passed, the ready-to-win effect of super reach δ is executed after the meter effect is finished.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 (A) and 8-36 (B), the variation pattern of normal reach (PA2-1B, PB1-1B) and the variation pattern of super reach δ (PA2- 5, PB1-6), the meter effect is executed over the period L without interruption due to the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. Further, during the period L during which the meter effect is being executed, the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B is accepted over the period A without interruption by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-35 (B), in the super reach α variation pattern (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) with a special figure variation time of 48000 ms, the meter effect is performed over the period M interrupted after During the period M during which the meter effect is being executed, the player's long press operation of the push button 31B is accepted over the period B. Further, the meter effect restarted after the interruption pseudo continuous suggestion effect is executed over the period N. During the period N in which the meter effect restarted after the interruption pseudo continuous suggestion effect is being executed, the player's long press operation of the push button 31B is accepted over the period C.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-35(A) and 8-35(B), the period L of the meter effect when it is not interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. It is the same as the sum of the periods of the meter effect in the case (period M + period N). Further, the long-pressing operation acceptance period A of the push button 31B during the meter effect when it is not interrupted by the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is the long-pressing of the push button 31B during the meter effect when interrupted by the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. It is the same as the sum of the operation acceptance periods (period B+period C).

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 8-36 (A), the fluctuation pattern of super reach α (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) with a special figure fluctuation time of 53000 ms, the fluctuation pattern of super reach β (PA2-3, PB1 -3) In the variation patterns of super reach γ (PA2-4, PB1-4, PB1-5), the meter effect is executed over period M and then interrupted. During the period M during which the meter effect is being executed, the player's long press operation of the push button 31B is accepted over the period B. After the meter effect is interrupted, the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in a success pattern, so in this case, the meter effect is not restarted after the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestive effect ends.

Next, the display mode of the image display device 5 when executing the variable display in the characterizing portion 008SG of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-37 to 8-43. First, as shown in FIGS. 8-37(A) to 8-37(E), when execution of the announcement effect is determined at the start of the variable display, the image display device 5 performs the announcement effect in the pattern YE-. 1 to pattern YE-4. Specifically, when the advance notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-1, the image 008SG005s of the character A is displayed on the image display device 5 with a blue effect, and when the notice effect is executed in the pattern YE-2 , the image 008SG005t of the character B is displayed with a red effect on the image display device 5, and when the announcement effect is executed in the pattern YE-3, the image 008SG005u of the character C is displayed on the image display device 5 with a gold effect. When the preview effect is executed in the pattern YE-4, the image display device 5 displays a collective image 008SG005v of the characters A to C together with a rainbow color effect.

At this time, the player expects a big hit according to which of the character images 008SG005s, 008SG005t, 008SG005u and 008SG005v the image displayed on the image display device 5 is and the color of the effect displayed together with the character image. It is possible to recognize the degree.

As described above, when the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4 at the start of the variable display, the notice effect is executed only in pattern YE-1 or pattern YE-2. It is possible.

Then, if the variation pattern is a variation pattern of normal reach (PA2-1B, PB1-1B) with a special figure variation time of 25000 ms, after the advance notice effect execution period, FIGS. 8-38 (A) to FIG. As shown in -38(C), in the entire display area of the image display device 5, an image including a long-press prompting image 008SG005n prompting the player to long-press the push button 31B is displayed as an image of the meter effect. Is displayed. In the meter effect, the player long presses the push button 31B to update the meter 008SG005m up to 20% at the maximum. After the end of the meter effect, the ready-to-win effect of the normal reach is executed.

Also, if the variation pattern is a super reach α variation pattern (PA2-2A, PB1-2A) that executes a pseudo continuous effect once with a special figure variation time of 48000 ms, after the advance notice effect execution period, As shown in FIGS. 8-39(A) to 8-39(C), as a meter effect, a long press promotion image 008SG005n prompting the player to press the push button 31B for a long time on the image display device 5 is displayed. Meter 008SG005m is displayed.

In the meter effect, the player long presses the push button 31B to update the meter 008SG005m up to 33%. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-39(D) to 8-39(F), the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33%, or the period during which the meter effect is interrupted from the start of the meter effect has passed. Based on what has been done, the meter effect is interrupted and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect is started. At this time, in the entire display area of the image display device 5, an image including a repeated hitting promotion image 008SG005r is displayed as an image of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect to prompt the player to repeatedly hit the push button 31B. At the same time, at the lower left of the image display device 5, a reduced image 008SG005h (image immediately before the meter effect is interrupted) showing the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 immediately before the start of the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect is started. , is displayed in a smaller display area than when the meter effect is executed.

As shown in FIGS. 8-39(D) to 8-39(F), in the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect, it is displayed in the center of the image display device 5 in response to the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B. The attack on the enemy character 008SG005e is executed multiple times. After the end of the period for accepting the operation of the push button 31B, the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the failure pattern, and the enemy character 008SG005e is not defeated. is reported to be unsuccessful.

After the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestive effect ends, the image of the meter effect is displayed in the entire display area of the image display device 5, and the meter effect is restarted. Incidentally, the mode of the meter 008SG005m at the time of resuming the meter effect is taken over from the mode of the meter 008SG005m at the time of interruption by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect. In other words, as shown in FIGS. 8-39 (C) and 8-39 (G), when the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33% and the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect, the interrupt By the end of the included pseudo-continuous suggestive effect, the meter effect is restarted with the meter 008SG005m updated to 33%.

Thereafter, the meter 008SG005m is updated up to 50% by the long-pressing operation of the push button 31B by the player. After the completion of the meter effect, temporary stop and re-variable display of decorative symbols are executed once each as a pseudo-continuous effect.

In addition, if the variation pattern is a super reach α variation pattern (PA2-2B, PB1-2B) that has a special figure variation time of 53000 ms and executes a pseudo continuous effect once (PA2-2B, PB1-2B), the super reach β variation pattern (PA2- 3, PB1-3), or super reach γ fluctuation pattern (PA2-4, PB1-4), after the advance notice effect execution period has elapsed, Fig. 8-40 (A) to Fig. 8-40 As shown in (C), as a meter effect, the image display device 5 displays a long press promotion image 008SG005n and a meter 008SG005m to prompt the player to press the push button 31B for a long time.

In the meter effect, the player long presses the push button 31B to update the meter 008SG005m up to 33%. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-40(D) to 8-40(F), the meter 008SG005m is updated to 33%, or the period during which the meter effect is interrupted from the start of the meter effect has elapsed. Based on what has been done, the meter effect is interrupted and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect is started. At this time, in the entire display area of the image display device 5, an image including a repeated hitting promotion image 008SG005r is displayed as an image of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect to prompt the player to repeatedly hit the push button 31B. In addition, at the lower left of the image display device 5, a reduced image 008SG005h (image immediately before the meter effect is interrupted) showing the display mode on the image display device 5 immediately before the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is started is displayed as a meter effect. is displayed in a smaller display area than when

As shown in FIGS. 8-40 (D) to 8-39 (F), in the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the game is displayed in the center of the image display device 5 in response to the player repeatedly hitting the push button 31B. The attack on the enemy character 008SG005e is executed multiple times. After the end of the period for accepting the operation of the push button 31B, the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in the success pattern, and the enemy character 008SG005e is defeated, so that the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is performed. Success is reported.

After the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is completed, as the pseudo-continuous effect, temporary stop and re-variable display of decorative symbols are executed the number of times corresponding to each variation pattern.

Also, if the variation pattern is the super reach δ variation pattern (PA2-5, PB1-6), after the advance notice effect execution period has elapsed, in FIGS. 8-41 (A) to 8-41 (C) As shown, in the entire display area of the image display device 5, an image including a long-press prompting image 008SG005n prompting the player to long-press the push button 31B is displayed as a meter effect image. In the meter effect, the player long presses the push button 31B to update the meter 008SG005m up to 100%. Then, after the end of the meter effect, the reach effect of super reach δ is executed.

When the variable display is the super reach γ variable display, after the decorative patterns are displayed in combination with reach as shown in FIGS. 8-42 (A) to 8-42 (C), super reach γ A ready-to-win effect (a battle effect in which a friend character and an enemy character fight in this characteristic part 008SG) is executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-42(D), when it comes to the cut-in effect execution start timing during the ready-to-win effect of the super reach γ, the display of the image of the push button 31B is started on the image display device 5, and the player , prompting to operate the push button 31B is performed. At this time, the player operates the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the push button 31B, or the player operates the push button 31B without operating the push button 31B during the operation reception period of the push button 31B. When the acceptance period has passed, the effect is displayed on the image display device 5 along with a cut-in image corresponding to the effect pattern of the cut-in effect.

Specifically, when the effect pattern of the cut-in effect is the pattern CI-1, the cut-in image 008SG005w is displayed with a blue effect on the image display device 5, and the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-2. , the cut-in image 008SG005x is displayed with a red effect on the image display device 5, and the cut-in image 008SG005y is displayed with a gold effect on the image display device 5 when the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3. When the announcement effect is executed in the pattern YE-4, the cut-in image 008SG005z is displayed on the image display device 5 with a rainbow effect.

At this time, the player can determine which of the cut-in images 008SG005w, 008SG005x, 008SG005y, and 008SG005z the cut-in images displayed on the image display device 5 are, and the colors of the effects displayed together with these cut-in images. It is possible to recognize the degree of expectation for a big win.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A) and 8-43 (B), when the variation pattern of the variable display is PS2-4 (super reach γ deviation variation pattern), super reach γ As a result of ready-to-win performance (battle performance result), the ally character loses to the enemy character, and it is notified that the variable display result is lost, and the variable display ends. Also, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A) and 8-43 (C), when the variation pattern of the variable display is PB1-4 (super reach γ jackpot variation pattern that does not execute the resurrection effect) , the super reach .gamma. wins the enemy character as the ready-to-win effect result (battle effect result), so that the variable display result is reported to be a big hit, and the variable display ends.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 8-43 (A), 8-43 (D) to 8-43 (F), the variation pattern of the variable display is PB1-5 (super reach γ jackpot for executing resurrection effect variation pattern), it is once notified that the variable display result is lost when the ally character is defeated by the enemy character as the reach effect result (battle effect result) of super reach γ. Then, by executing the resurrection effect, it is once again reported that the variable display result is a big hit by the ally character winning against the enemy character as the reach effect result (battle effect result) of the super reach γ, Variable display ends.

Although not shown in the figure, when the variable display is the variable display of super reach δ, after the decoration pattern is displayed in combination with the reach, the ally character and the enemy character are displayed in the same way as the reach performance of super reach γ. is executed. It should be noted that the battle production as the ready-to-reach production of super reach δ may be produced in the same manner as the battle production as the ready-to-reach production of super reach γ. may

As described above, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. While execution at -3 confirms that the variable display result will be a big hit, when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, a cut-in effect is performed. There is a case where the variable display result is out of line when executed in pattern CI-3. In other words, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the result of the variable display is lost, it is determined that the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6. , when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the player can be made to pay attention to whether the variable display result will be a big hit or not, and the amusement of the game can be improved. there is

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. Super ready-to-win γ jackpot variation pattern (super ready-to-win γ jackpot variation pattern to execute revival presentation, PB1-5) and super ready-to-win not to perform revival presentation to inform that the variable display result is a big hit by executing the resurrection performance. γ jackpot variation patterns (PB1-4) are provided, and when variable display is executed in the super reach γ jackpot variation pattern that executes the resurrection performance, the super reach γ jackpot variation that does not execute the resurrection performance. The ratio of executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 is set lower than in the case of executing the variable display in the pattern. Therefore, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the ready-to-win effect of the super reach γ and it is notified that the variable display is not displayed, the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is recognized as any one of 4 to 6, the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is changed to 4 to 6 by executing the resurrection performance and notifying that the variable display is a big hit. It is possible to reduce the decrease in the interest in the game due to an error in recognizing that it is any of the above.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as setting values to be set in the pachinko game machine 1, the disadvantageous setting values are 1 to 3 and the advantageous setting values are 4 to 6, which are set in the pachinko game machine 1. Depending on whether the set value is a disadvantageous set value or an advantageous set value, the decision ratio of the cut-in effect or the notice effect pattern is changed, but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the unfavorable setting value is 1 and the advantageous setting value is 6, the values may be set in any range that does not overlap each other. Specifically, only 1 to 5 disadvantageous setting values and 6 advantageous setting values may be used, or only 1 disadvantageous setting value and 2 to 6 advantageous setting values may be used.

Further, in the characterizing portion 008SG of the present embodiment, the suggestive effect in the present invention is illustrated as a ready-to-win effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the suggestive effect in the present invention is during variable display. Effect other than the ready-to-win effect, such as a pseudo-continuous effect in which the temporary stop and the re-variable display of the decorative symbols are repeatedly executed, may be used as long as the effect can be executed immediately.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 (C) to 8-21 (E), when the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, the deviation of the super reach γ When the variable display is executed in the pattern, when the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is 6, the ratio of the cut-in effect to be executed in the pattern CI-3 is the highest, and the pachinko game is performed. When the set value set in the machine 1 is 4, the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 is set to be the lowest. For this reason, the higher the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the more frequently the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is wrong, and the higher the setting value is set in the pachinko game machine 1. Since the player can expect the setting, the interest in the game can be improved.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the embodiment, when the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, the case where the variable display is executed in the super reach γ deviation variation pattern shows a form in which the higher the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1, the higher the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3. It is not limited, and when the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6 and the variable display is executed in the variation pattern of the super reach γ deviation, the pachinko game Regardless of the setting value set in machine 1, the rate at which the cut-in effect is performed in pattern CI-3 may be the same rate. By doing so, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 in the variable display of super reach γ loss, the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6. It is possible to make it difficult for a player to identify a person.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6, whether or not to execute any ready-to-win effect and whether or not to execute the resurrection effect are determined in advance in association with each variation pattern, and FIG. 8-13. As shown in (A), when the variable display result is a big win, the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern using the 1 big win variation pattern determination table regardless of the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1. Therefore, when the result of the variable display is a big hit, the ratio of executing the resurrection performance during the variable display is the same regardless of the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1.例文帳に追加Therefore, since the execution ratio of the resurrection performance during the variable display follows the set value for determining the ratio of the variable display result to be a big hit, the player should pay attention to whether or not the resurrection performance is executed during the variable display. It is possible to improve the game interest.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, whether or not to execute any reach effect and whether or not to execute the resurrection effect are exemplified in a form that is previously determined in association with each variation pattern. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and whether or not to execute any ready-to-win effect and whether or not to execute a resurrection effect can be changed by the effect control CPU 120 after the CPU 103 determines the variation pattern. It may be determined as appropriate from the display result or the like.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-6 and 8-22, as the variation pattern in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, the variation pattern (PA2-5 and PB1-6) for executing the reach effect of super reach δ is provided, and when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the reach effect of the super reach δ, the variable display result always becomes a big hit, so the variations of the super reach effect increase and the super Since the cut-in performance is executed in the pattern CI-3 during the ready-to-win performance of the reach δ, and the variable display result can make the player pay attention to whether or not the result will be a big hit, the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, the variation pattern (PA2-5 and PB1-6) for executing the reach effect of super reach δ is provided as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the variation pattern for executing the reach effect of super reach δ may not be provided.

Further, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, as effects that can be executed during the variable display, a notice effect that can be executed during a period from the start of the variable display to the ready-to-win state (or until the end timing of the variable display) and a ready-to-reach state. A cut-in effect that can be executed during the effect is provided. Furthermore, the advance notice effect can be executed in any one of a plurality of effect patterns (pattern YE-1 to pattern YE-4) with different degrees of expectation for big hits. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-26, when the variable display result is a big win and the cut-in effect is decided to be executed in pattern CI-3 or pattern CI-4, which are effect patterns with a high expectation of a big win. When executing the notice effect, the effect pattern is determined from the effect patterns (pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2) excluding pattern YE-3 and pattern YE-4, which are highly expected to hit the jackpot. By executing YE-3 or YE-4, it is possible to prevent the player from recognizing in advance that the variable display result will be a big hit. Therefore, when execution of the cut-in effect pattern CI-4 has been determined, whether or not the variable display result will be a big hit by executing the notice effect in pattern YE-1 or pattern YE-2. It is possible to keep the player's attention until the end of the variable display, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

Further, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8-30 to 8-34, during the variable display of 1, the notice effect is set at a timing before the cut-in effect (from the start of the variable display). When the variable display result becomes a big win, the player recognizes that the variable display result becomes a big win from the timing before the cut-in effect is executed. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the game interest by preventing this.

In addition, in the characterizing part 008SG of the present embodiment, during the variable display of 1, the form in which the notice effect can be executed at the timing before the cut-in effect is exemplified, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the advance notice effect may be executed as a prefetch effect during the variable display executed before the variable display for executing the cut-in effect. Furthermore, the notice effect is executed during the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the ready-to-win effect, so that the variable display result is obtained during the period from the start of the cut-in effect to the end of the ready-to-win effect. It is also possible to prevent the player from recognizing that is a big hit and to prevent the decline in the interest in the game.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-21 and 8-22, when the variable display result is a big win, the big win type is always the big win C when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-4. On the other hand, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, the jackpot type can be any one of the jackpot A, the jackpot B, and the jackpot C, so the cut-in effect is set to the pattern CI-4 during the variable display. It is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is executed. Furthermore, when the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3, there is a possibility that the jackpot type will be the jackpot A or the jackpot B, so the cut-in effect is executed in the pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is obtained. In the case of losing, the player can be made to think that even if the player wins a big win, it might have been a big win A or B. can reduce the decrease in

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-26, one of 4 to 6 is set as a set value in the pachinko game machine 1 (that is, the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3 and the variable display result is When there is a possibility of losing), when the cut-in performance is determined to be executed in pattern CI-3, which is a performance pattern with a high degree of expectation for a big hit, when the advance notice performance is executed, the degree of expectation for a big hit is high. Since the production pattern is determined from the production patterns (pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2) excluding pattern YE-3 and pattern YE-4, by executing the advance notice production in pattern YE-3 and YE-4 It is possible to prevent the player from recognizing in advance that the variable display result will be a big hit. Therefore, even though the variable display result does not result in a big hit, the pattern CI-3 and the pattern YE-3 or YE-4 are executed during the same variable display, so that the variable display result becomes a big win. It is possible to prevent excessively increasing expectations of

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, any one of 4 to 6 is set as the set value in the pachinko game machine 1, and the cut-in effect is pattern CI-3, which is a effect pattern with a high degree of expectation for a big hit. As a mode for restricting the execution of pattern YE-3 and pattern YE-4 of the notice effect when the execution of is made unexecutable in pattern YE-3 or pattern YE-4), but the present invention is not limited to this. is set, and when the cut-in effect is determined to be executed in pattern CI-3, which is a pattern with high expectations for a big hit, the advance notice effect is performed at a rate lower than that of pattern YE-1 and pattern YE-2. Pattern YE-3 and pattern YE-4 may be executable. In other words, "when the advantageous set value is set and the determining means has not decided to control to the advantageous state, the suggestive effect is performed in a mode including the specific effect. If executed, the execution of the second predetermined effect is restricted." A mode in which patterns YE-3 and YE-4 are executed at a lower rate than in YE-2 is also included.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-21, the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, and the variation pattern is a variation pattern (PA2-4) of super reach γ deviation. In the case, if the set value is the same value, the rate at which the cut-in effect is executed in pattern CI-3 in the high-probability-high base state is the cut-in effect in the low-probability-low base state or the low-probability-high base state. It is set higher than the rate of execution in pattern CI-3. For this reason, when the gaming state is a high-probability-high base state, cut-in production is performed in the variable display of super reach γ out more than when the game state is a low-probability-low base state or a low-probability-high base state. Since the pattern CI-3 is executed more frequently, it becomes easier for the player to recognize that the set value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6 in the high-probability-high base state. After the player recognizes that the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6 by executing the cut-in effect in the pattern CI-3 in the high-probability-high base state. can improve the operation of the pachinko game machine 1 because the player can easily continue the game even after the game state shifts to the low-probability-low base state.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG of the present embodiment, the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 is any one of 4 to 6, and the variable display is performed in the variation pattern (PA2-4) of super reach γ deviation. When it is executed, if the game state is a high-probability-high base state, if the set value is the same, cut-in at a higher rate than when the game state is a low-probability-low base state or a low-probability-high base state Although a form in which the effect can be executed in pattern CI-3 is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. , and when the variable display is executed with the super reach γ deviation variation pattern (PA2-4), the cut-in effect can be executed with the pattern CI-3 when the game state is the high-probability-high base state. If the game state is the low-probability-low base state or the low-probability-high base state, the cut-in effect may be disabled in the pattern CI-3.

Further, in the present characteristic portion 008SG, the effect control CPU 120 can execute a meter effect in which the meter 008SG005m is updated from 0% to 20%, 33%, 50%, and 100%, and interrupts the meter effect. It is possible to execute an interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect with a success pattern and a failure pattern. Further, as shown in FIG. 8-6(B), the effect control CPU 120 always executes the pseudo-continuous effect after the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestive effect when executing the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect in a success pattern. On the other hand, when the meter 008SG005m is not updated to 50% as the meter effect, there are cases where the pseudo-continuous effect is executed after the meter effect and the ready-to-win effect of the normal reach is executed. 8-6(B), 8-28(B), 8-29 to 8-31, the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect in a success pattern. When doing so, the meter performance is not restarted, and when the interruption pseudo continuous suggestive performance is executed in the failure pattern, the meter performance is resumed.

Therefore, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect in a success pattern, the effect control CPU 120 executes the pseudo continuous effect at a higher rate than when the meter effect does not update the meter 008SG005m to 50%. As a result, even if the meter performance interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance is not restarted, the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed, and at the same time, the performance control CPU 120 performs the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance in the failure pattern. When executed, the meter effect is resumed from the update state of the meter 008Sg005m when interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance, so that the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed.

In this feature part 008SG, when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance is executed in a failure pattern, after the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion performance, the update state of the meter 008SG005m at the time of interruption by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance is changed. Although the mode in which the meter effect is restarted is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. The meter effect may be restarted as an update condition that is more advantageous to the player than when interrupted by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. Specifically, for example, when the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect in a state where the meter 008SG005m has been updated to 33%, the meter effect is restarted from the state where the meter 008SG005m has been updated to 40%. Just do it. By doing so, when the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in a failure pattern, in addition to the notification that the pseudo-continuous effect is executed as a result of the restarted meter effect, super reach δ Since it is possible to draw the player's attention to whether or not it is notified that the ready-to-win effect is executed, the interest in the game can be improved.

In addition, in this characteristic part 008SG, when the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in a failure pattern, after the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, the update state of the meter 008SG005m at the time of interruption by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect Although the mode in which the meter effect is restarted is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. The meter effect may be restarted as an update situation that is more disadvantageous to the player than when interrupted by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. Specifically, for example, when the meter effect is interrupted by an interruption pseudo-continuous suggestive effect in a state where the meter 008SG005m has been updated to 33%, the meter effect is changed from the state in which the meter 008SG005m has been updated to 0% or 10%. should be restarted. By doing so, when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in a failure pattern, the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect again or the reach effect of the super reach δ is notified in the restarted meter effect. Since the player can be made to recognize that he or she has been given a chance to win, the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect in the success pattern, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at a higher rate than when the effect control CPU 120 executes the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect in the failure pattern. By being executed, even if the meter performance interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance is not restarted, the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed, and at the same time, the performance control CPU 120 changes the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance to the failure pattern. , the state of the meter 008SG005m updated by the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B is taken over by the meter effect restarted after the interruption pseudo continuous suggestion effect, so the player can restart the meter effect. At times, the user can recognize that his/her own long-pressing operation is not wasted, thereby further suppressing the decrease in interest in the game.

In addition, in the meter effect, the meter 008SG005m is updated by the player's long-pressing operation of the push button 31B. Since the effect progresses, it can be clarified that the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect are separate effects.

In addition, in this characteristic portion 008SG, the mode of operating the push button 31B in the game is different between the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. The operation mode of the push button 31B in the game may be the same between the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect.

Furthermore, in the present characteristic section 008SG, both the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect exemplify a form in which the push button 31B is used as the operation target by the game, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, for example, the target of operation by the player in the meter effect is the push button 31B, and the target of operation by the player in the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is the stick controller 31A. The target of operation by the player may be different. By doing so, it is possible to further clarify that the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect are separate effects.

Further, in this characteristic part 008SG, an example of a form in which the push button 31B is used as the motion detection means in the present invention is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Contact-type motion detection means such as a touch sensor capable of detecting the player's contact with a specific area of the machine 1 and non-contact-type motion detection means such as a motion sensor capable of detecting the player's motion such as gestures are used. It may be provided in the pachinko game machine 1 so that the meter effect or the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect can proceed according to the detection of the player's motion by these motion detection means.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 8-35 and 8-36, when the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect, the total of the period B and the period C which is the acceptance period of the long press operation of the push button 31B. is the same as the period A, which is the acceptance period for the long-pressing operation of the push button 31B when the meter effect is not interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect, so the meter effect interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect Since there is no need to separately manage the acceptance period of the long press operation of the push button 31B for the meter performance before interruption and the meter performance after resumption, the detection control of the long press operation of the push button 31B is prevented from becoming complicated. be able to.

In this feature part 008SG, the sum of the period B and the period C, which are the reception periods for the long-pressing operation of the push button 31B when the meter effect is interrupted by the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect, is calculated. Although the embodiment has been exemplified as being the same as the period A, which is the acceptance period of the long-pressing operation of the push button 31B in the case where it is not interrupted by the continuous suggestion effect, the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter effect is simulated as an interrupt. The sum of the period B and the period C, which is the acceptance period for the long-press operation of the push button 31B when interrupted by the continuous suggestion effect, is the long press of the push button 31B when the meter effect is not interrupted by the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect. It may be longer or shorter than the period A, which is the operation reception period.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8-39 and 8-40, when the effect image of the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is displayed on the image display device 5, the meter immediately before the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is started To make a player recognize that the meter performance is not finished even during execution of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive performance because the performance image of the performance is displayed as a reduced image 008SG005h in the lower left part of the image display device 5.例文帳に追加can be done.

In addition, in this characteristic portion 008SG, while the effect image of the interrupt pseudo-continue suggestive effect is displayed on the image display device 5, by displaying the reduced image 008SG005h in the lower left part of the image display device 5, the image display device 5 By reducing the visibility of the effect image of the meter effect in 5, that is, by making the display area of the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device more intelligent than the display area of the effect image of the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. Although the visibility of the effect image of the meter effect is reduced, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, visibility of the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 may be lowered by transparently displaying the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 or reducing the display color.

Furthermore, while the effect image of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is displayed on the image display device 5, the effect image of the meter effect on the image display device 5 is hidden, and sound is output from the speakers 8L and 8R instead. , or the game effect lamp 9 may emit light so that the player can recognize that the meter effect has not ended even during execution of the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-28(A), when the meter effect is resumed during the variable display, the effect control CPU 120 does not execute the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect again during the variable display. It is possible to prevent the effect control of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect from becoming complicated.

In addition, in this characterizing section 008SG, when the meter effect is resumed during the variable display, a mode is exemplified in which the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect is not executed again during the variable display. The present invention is not limited to this, and even if the meter effect is resumed during the variable display, the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect may be executed again during the variable display.

In particular, when the pseudo continuous effect is executed a plurality of times during the variable display, by making it possible to execute the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect with each pseudo continuous effect, the meter effect and the interrupt simulated effect can be performed. Since the player can be made to pay more attention to whether or not the pseudo-continuous effect is executed as the effect result of the continuous suggestive effect, the interest in the game can be improved.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configurations are not limited to these, and any changes or additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. .

For example, in the characteristic portion 008SG, as shown in FIG. 8-1, a first reserved memory display area 008SG005D and a second reserved memory display area 008SG005U are set in two places on the left and right of the lower portion of the display area of the image display device 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. An active display area 008SG005F that can be displayed as an active display may be set.

When setting the active display area 008SG005F in the image display device 5 in this way, as shown in FIGS. It is also possible to make it possible to execute an active display change effect that changes to one of the modes, and to change the degree of expectation for a big hit of the variable display according to the display mode of the changed active display (in the example shown in FIG. 8-44, the active A round white display, a square white display, and a star-shaped white display can be displayed, and the round white display has the lowest expectation for a big hit, and the star-shaped white display has the highest expectation for a big hit. (Big hit expectation: Star-shaped white display > Square-shaped white display > Round-shaped white display)).

In addition, when the active display change effect can be executed during the variable display in this way, as shown in FIG. A display change suggesting effect (in FIG. 8-44(B), an action effect in which the character acts on the active display) can be executed, and whether or not the display mode of the active display changes due to the execution of the active display change suggesting effect is determined. It may also be possible to draw the player's attention.

Furthermore, as the modification 008SG-1, as shown in FIG. During the execution period of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect, the active display change suggestive effect cannot be executed, and the active display change suggestive effect can be executed only during the non-execution period of the meter effect during variable display and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect. good too. By doing so, during the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during the variable display, the player can be made to pay attention to the display mode of the active display, while the meter effect and the During the execution period of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance, it is possible to prevent the performance effects of the meter performance and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance from being lowered due to the player's attention on the active display change suggestive performance.

In addition, in this modification 008SG-1, the execution of the active display change suggestive effect is disabled as a form of restricting the execution of the active display change suggestive effect during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during the variable display. Although the embodiment is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect during the variable display, the active display change suggestion effect is executed at a lower rate than the non-execution period of the meter effect during the variable display and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. those that execute the active display change suggestion effect by displaying an image smaller than the non-execution period of the meter effect during the variable display and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect (the meter effect during the variable display and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion a character smaller than the performance non-execution period acts on the active display), and as an active display change suggestion performance, sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R and light emission of the game effect lamp 9 are performed instead of the image display. may be

In addition, in the present modification 008SG-1, an example of a form in which the active display change effect can be executed during the variable display is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is based on the start winning when the start winning is generated. A suspension display can be displayed in a plurality of display modes, and a suspension display notice effect can be executed in which the degree of expectation for a big win of variable display based on the suspension display differs according to the display mode of the suspension display. Furthermore, when the pending display notice effect can be executed, the pending display displayed in the first pending memory display area 008SG005D or the second pending memory display area 008SG005U at the timing such as during the variable display or at the end of the variable display may be made changeable.

Further, when such a pending display notice effect can be executed, the display mode of the pending display changes from the pending display displayed in the first pending memory display area 008SG005D and the second pending memory display area 008SG005U. In addition, the execution of the change suggesting effect may be restricted during the execution period of the meter effect during variable display and the execution period of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggesting effect.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG, any value of 1 to 6 is set as a set value in the pachinko game machine 1, and the ratio of the variable display result to a big hit is varied according to the set value (set value). Although the form is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to execute a setting suggestion effect regarding the setting value set in the pachinko game machine 1 during variable display or during a jackpot game.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 8-46(A) to 8-46(D) as a modification 008SG-2, as a setting suggestion effect, a pattern different from the decorative pattern is variable during variable display on the image display device 5. A reel image 008SG005G to be displayed is displayed, and the setting value set in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a high setting value (for example, 4 to 6) according to the symbol finally derived and displayed in the reel image 008SG005G. (In the case of this modification 008SG-2, the highest set value expectation (pachinko machine The expectation that the setting value set to 1 is any of 4 to 6) is high, and the case where the “bell” pattern is derived and displayed is the highest.The set value expectation is low. High set value expectation: "Cherry" pattern > "Watermelon" pattern > "Bell" pattern).

If the reel effect (setting suggestion effect) can be executed during the variable display in this way, as shown in FIG. While it is made executable, the reel effect may be made non-executable during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. By doing so, during the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during the variable display, the player's attention is focused on whether the reel effect is executed and the symbols derived and displayed as the reel effect. On the other hand, during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during the variable display, the player pays attention to whether the reel effect is executed and the symbol derived and displayed as the reel effect. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the performance effect of the meter performance and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion performance.

In this modified example 008SG-2, as a form of limiting the execution of the reel effect (setting suggestive effect) during the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during the variable display, Although a form in which the reel effect is disabled is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the execution of the reel effect is restricted during the execution period of the meter effect during variable display and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. For example, the execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during the variable display is different from the non-execution period of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect during the variable display of the reel effect. , reel effects are executed at a lower rate than the non-execution period of meter effects and interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effects during variable display, meter effects and interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effects during variable display of reel effects may be executed by displaying an image smaller than the non-execution period of .

In addition, in the modification 008SG-2, as the setting suggesting effect, a form of suggesting the degree of expectation in which a high setting value is set in the pachinko game machine 1 was exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. As the setting suggestion effect, it may be suggested which of a plurality of set values is set, and the set value set in the pachinko game machine 1 has changed since the last time the pachinko game machine 1 was started. suggest that it has been changed.

In addition, in the characteristic part 008SG, in the period from the start of the variable display to the ready-to-win, whether or not the meter effect is executed and the effect mode, and whether or not the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed and the effect mode (effect pattern) are determined in a variable pattern. Although the form of determining uniquely has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. Whether or not to execute a pseudo-continuous suggestive effect and the effect mode (effect pattern) may be determined at different ratios according to the variation pattern, the result of the variable display, the number of times of the pseudo-continuous effect executed during the variable display, and the like.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 8-6(B), in the characterizing section 008SG, in the meter effect when the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect is not executed, execution of the reach effect of normal reach or the reach effect of super reach δ is reported. In the meter effect restarted after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in a failure pattern, only the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified, that is, the meter effect when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is not executed. , the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed in a failure pattern, and the restarted meter effect is not notified of the execution of the common effect, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the interrupt A case may be provided in which the execution of a common performance is reported in the meter performance when the pseudo-continuous suggestion performance is not executed and the meter performance restarted after the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestion performance is executed in a failure pattern.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8-49 (A) and 8-49 (B) as a modification 008SG-4, the variation pattern is a special figure variation time of 35000 ms and a pseudo continuous effect during variable display The variation pattern of normal reach (PA2-1C, PB1-1C) to be executed once is added to the variation pattern of the previous feature part 008SG, and the special figure variation time is 35000 ms, and the pseudo-continuous effect is performed once during variable display. During the variable display of the normal reach variation pattern (PA2-1C, PB1-1C), only the meter effect out of the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect is executed, and the meter 008Sg005m is played as the effect result of the meter effect. It may be possible to update up to a maximum of 50% (a mode for notifying execution of the pseudo-continuous effect) by long-pressing the push button 31B of the user.

In addition, in this modification 008SG-4, as disclosed in the characteristic part 008SG, by setting the determination ratio of the variation pattern so that the longer the special variation time, the higher the expectation of the big hit, during the variable display At least for the variation pattern that executes the meter performance, when the meter performance is executed in which the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion performance is executed, and execution of the ready-to-reach performance of normal reach is reported as the performance result of the meter performance (PA2- 1B, PB1-1B) has the lowest degree of expectation for a big hit, and after that, a meter effect is executed in which an interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion effect is executed, and execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified as a result of the effect of the meter effect. (PA2-1C, PB1-1C), when the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified as the effect result of the meter effect restarted after the interrupt pseudo-continuous effect effect (PA2-2A, PB1-2A), the interrupt When the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified as the performance result of the pseudo-continuous suggestive effect (when the pseudo-continuous effect is executed in a success pattern; PA2-2B, PA2-3, PA2-4, PB1-3 to PB1 -5) When the meter effect is executed without executing the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect, and the execution of the reach effect of super reach δ is notified as the effect result of the meter effect (PA2-5, PB1-6 ), the degree of expectation for a big hit increases in the order of .

By doing so, the player can determine which performance has been notified as the performance result of the meter performance during the variable display, or whether the execution of the pseudo-continuous performance has been reported as the performance result of the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive performance. Since the degree of expectation for a big hit can be recognized depending on whether or not, the player can be made to pay more attention to the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestion performance of these meter performances during the variable display, and the amusement of the game can be improved.

Further, as shown in the characteristic portion 008SG, when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in the success pattern, the pseudo-continuous effect is executed at a higher rate as the meter effect than when the meter 008SG005m is not updated to 50%. As a result, even if the meter performance interrupted by the interruption pseudo-continuous suggestion performance is not restarted, the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed, and when the interruption pseudo-continuation suggestion performance is executed in a failure pattern, Whether or not the meter effect restarted after the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is changed to a common effect mode with the meter effect in which the interrupting pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is not executed (whether or not the execution of the pseudo-continuous effect is notified) ) can be made to attract the player's attention, it is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

In this modification 008SG-4, both the meter effect when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is not executed and the meter effect restarted after the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed in a failure pattern are displayed. Although the form in which the execution of the effect can be notified has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect when the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is not executed are in failure patterns. In both the executed and restarted meter effects, the execution of the ready-to-win effects of normal reach and super reach, the number of pseudo-continuous effects to be executed, and the like may be notified.

In addition, in the characterizing section 008SG, a form in which the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect can be executed during the period from the start of the variable display to the reach has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. , these meter effects and interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effects may be made executable even after the reach (during the reach effect period). In this case, even during the ready-to-win production, there is a case where it develops into a pseudo-continuous production or a reach-up production with a higher degree of expectation for a big hit (reach-up). It is only necessary to make the player pay attention to whether or not the execution of the continuous effect or the reach-up is reported.

Furthermore, in the characterizing section 008SG, a form in which the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestive effect can be executed during the variable display has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo The continuous suggestion effect may be executed during a period other than during variable display such as during a big win game. If the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect can be executed during the big win game, for example, the number of rounds of the big win game and the end of the big win game are controlled by the meter effect and the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect. It is only necessary to enable notification of whether or not the variable probability state and the time saving state are controlled later.

Further, in the characterizing section 008SG, an example is given of a form in which an interruption pseudo continuous suggestive effect may be executed based on the fact that the meter 008SG005m has been updated to 33% as a meter effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the interrupt pseudo continuous suggestion effect may be executed at any timing regardless of the mode of updating the meter 008SG005m. By doing so, it is possible to keep the player's attention on whether or not the interrupt pseudo-continuous suggestive effect is executed until the meter effect is finished, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

Further, in the characterizing portion 008SG, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as a gaming machine that performs a predetermined game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the gaming machine that performs a predetermined game is at least a predetermined game. In addition to the pachinko game machine 1, a slot machine or a general game machine may be used as long as it performs When the present invention is applied to a slot machine, the first specific effect (corresponding to the meter effect in the characteristic part 008SG) and the second specific effect (corresponding to the interruption pseudo continuous suggestive effect in the characteristic part 008SG) are: It is only necessary to be able to notify that an effect advantageous to the player, such as an effect notifying entry into an ART or an effect in which the number of ARTs is added, is executed.

In addition, in the present specification, a plurality of characteristic portions and modifications have been exemplified as the form of the gaming machine of the present invention. Alternatively, only one feature or variation may be implemented.
