Further, the game board YB is provided with special symbol display devices 23a and 23b, reservation display devices 24a and 24b, and a normal symbol display device 25 shown in FIG. These display devices are positioned on a portion of the game board YB that is visible to the player when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front. For example, these display devices are arranged on the decorative members arranged in the game area of the game board YB, the corner decorative members of the game board YB, and the like.

The special symbol display devices 23a and 23b perform a special game, and derive special symbols according to the result of the winning lottery in the special game. The special symbol display device 23a is a display device for performing the first special game, and the special symbol display device 23b is a display device for performing the second special game. In the first special game and the second special game, a winning lottery is performed when the starting condition is established, and the probability of winning a big win in the winning lottery is the same. In addition, in the first special game and the second special game, when a big win is won in the winning lottery, the type of the big win determined when the big win is won in the winning lottery and the determination ratio of the same type of big win are made different. (For example, the number of prize balls, the period of granting a state in which the ball entry rate of the game ball to the second start port 13 is improved, etc.) may be varied.

When the starting condition is satisfied, a special game is performed in the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b to derive the result of the winning lottery, and the result according to the special symbol derived in the special game. A production game for deriving is performed using the production symbols also in the first production display device 11a. That is, the effect game is executed in correspondence with the special game. The special symbol display devices 23a and 23b are display devices having light emitters. In the special game, an arbitrary combination of light emitters forming the display device is derived as a special symbol. The special symbols include a big win pattern derived when a big win is won in a winning lottery, and a losing pattern derived when a big win is not won in a winning lottery. In this embodiment, the jackpot patterns include normal jackpot patterns and specific jackpot patterns.

In this embodiment, after a big win is won in a winning lottery and a big winning pattern is derived in a special game, a big winning game corresponding to the type of the derived big winning pattern is generated. The jackpot game is performed a plurality of times with the upper limit of the prescribed number of rounds predetermined by the round game allowing the entry of game balls into the jackpot 14.例文帳に追加When a big win game is generated, an opening time is set before the start of the first round game, and an opening performance indicating the start of the big win game is performed during the opening time. Also, when a big win game is generated, an ending time is set when the last round game ends, and an ending performance indicating the end of the big win game is performed during the ending time.

The pending display device 24a is a display device that displays the number of first special games whose execution is pending (the number of pending starts), and the pending display device 24b displays the number of second special games that are pending (starting pending). number). The normal symbol display device 25 performs a normal symbol variation game using normal symbols, and in the normal symbol variation game, a normal symbol is derived according to the result of the winning lottery of the normal symbols.

Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a probability variation function. In this embodiment, when the probability variation function is activated, the probability of winning a big win in the winning lottery varies from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability. That is, the probability variation function changes the probability state from a state in which the probability of winning the jackpot is low (normal probability) (hereinafter referred to as a low probability state) to a state in which the probability of winning the jackpot is high (hereinafter referred to as It is a function to change to a high probability state). The high-probability state is a game state advantageous to the player because it is easier for the player to win a big win in the winning lottery than in the low-probability state. The high probability state is granted until the next big hit game is granted, for example.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a ball entry rate improving function. The ball entry rate improvement function provides a state (hereinafter referred to as "time saving state") in which the ball entry rate per unit time to the second start port 13 as a predetermined ball entry port is improved. It is a function that allows The time-saving state is a so-called "electric sapo state" or "high base state". In the time-saving state, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time to the second start port 13 is improved, so it is recommended to play the game with the right hand so that the game ball can easily enter the second start port 13. be done. On the other hand, in the state where the time saving state is not given, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time to the second start port 13 is lower than in the time saving state, so it is recommended to play the game with left hand hitting. . That is, the recommended emission area differs between the time saving state and the non-time saving state. In addition, in the following description, the state which the time saving state is not provided may be shown as "non-time saving state." The non-time saving state is a so-called "non-electric support state" and "low base state". In this way, the ball entry rate improvement function changes the ball entry state from a non-time-saving state in which the ball entry rate per unit time to the second start port 13 as a predetermined ball entry port is low. It is a function to change to a time-saving state in which the ball entry rate of game balls per unit time to the second starting hole 13 as a ball hole is high.

The time saving state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from among the following four controls, for example, or by executing a plurality of controls in combination. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control for shortening the variation time of the normal symbol variation game as compared to the non-time saving state. The second control is normal pattern probability variation control for varying the probability of winning a normal win in the normal win lottery (normal win probability) to a higher probability than in the non-time-saving state. The third control is opening time extension control for making the total opening time of the second starting port 13 based on the winning of the normal winning lottery in the normal symbol winning lottery longer than in the non-time saving state. In addition, the opening time extension control is a control to increase the number of times of opening the second start port 13 based on winning the normal winning lottery in the normal symbol winning lottery than in the non-time saving state, and the normal winning lottery in the symbol. It is preferable that it is at least one of the control to make one opening time of the second starting port 13 based on winning a normal hit longer than in the non-time saving state. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, average variation time) more likely to be shorter than in the non-time saving state. When executing the variable time shortening control of the special symbol, the time saving state becomes a so-called "variable time shortening state".

The time saving state is provided, for example, until the next big hit game is provided, or after the time saving state is provided until the special game is executed a specified upper limit number of times (for example, 100 times). Incidentally, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10 capable of executing the first special game and the second special game, the specified upper limit number of times is the total number of times of the first special game and the second special game. In the following description, the low probability state, and the game state that is a non-time saving state is indicated as "low probability non time saving state", the low probability state, and the game state that is a time saving state is indicated as "low probability time saving state" , A high probability state and a game state that is a time saving state may be indicated as a "high probability time saving state". In addition, the pachinko game machine 10 of this embodiment does not have a game state which is a high probability state and a non-time saving state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, a game state corresponding to the type of the jackpot pattern is provided after the jackpot game is finished. Specifically, after the end of the jackpot game based on the normal jackpot pattern, a low-probability short-time state is given until the fluctuation game of the special pattern of the specified upper limit number of times is finished or the next jackpot game is given. be. On the other hand, after the end of the jackpot game based on the specific jackpot pattern, a high-probability time-saving state is given until the next jackpot game is given. As described above, the low-probability short working hours state is a gaming state in which the probability variation function does not operate and the ball-entering rate improvement function operates. Further, the high-probability time-saving state is a gaming state in which both the probability variation function and the ball-entering rate improvement function operate. That is, since the probability variation function operates, the high-probability short-time state is a gaming state advantageous to the player as compared with the low-probability short-time state in which the probability variation function does not operate.

In this embodiment, the condition for suspending the first special game is established when the gaming ball is detected by the starting sensor SE1 when the number of pending starts of the first special game is less than the upper limit number.

Further, when the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal from the start sensor SE2 due to the ball entering the second start port 13, the number of start suspensions of the second special game is the upper limit (4 in this embodiment). Determine if it is less than The main control CPU 30a newly suspends execution of the second special game when the number of start suspensions of the second special game is less than the upper limit number. After that, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the number of pending starts of the second special game and rewrites it, and controls the pending display device 24b so as to display the number of pending starts after the addition. In this embodiment, the condition for suspending the second special game is established when the game ball is detected by the activation sensor SE2 when the number of pending starts of the second special game is less than the upper limit number. Note that the main control CPU 30a does not add the number of pending starts when the number of pending starts has reached the upper limit. On the other hand, when the number of pending starts is added, the main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub-control CPU 31a a control command (such as a pending designation command) that can specify the number of pending starts after the addition. The sub-control CPU 31a, which has input a control command that can specify the number of pending starts, causes the first effect display device 11a to display an image corresponding to the number of pending starts that can be specified from the information.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of various random numbers triggered by the entry of a game ball when the game ball enters the game ball with less than the upper limit of the start reservation number, and can specify the value of the acquired random number. The random number information is stored in the main control RAM 30c. The random number information may be composed of a random number value, or may be composed of information obtained by converting the random number value into other information that can specify the value. In addition, when storing random number information, the main control CPU 30a can specify whether it is the random number information for the first special game or the random number information for the second special game, and the order in which the random number information is stored. Random number information is stored such that When acquiring the value of the random number, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the winning random number from the random number generation circuit, and acquires the value of the jackpot symbol random number and the value of the main variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 30c. .

Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub control CPU 31a a gate passing command capable of specifying that the game ball has passed through the operation gate 18 in the process when the detection signal from the gate sensor GS is input. In addition, the main control CPU 30a, in the processing when the detection signal from the gate sensor GS is input, the processing of storing the number of normal reservations (the number of starting reservations of the variable game with normal symbols) and various random numbers used for normal winning lottery etc. Perform processing to obtain . An upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) is defined for the number of ordinary reservations, like the number of starting reservations for the first special game and the second special game. Therefore, when the normal reserved number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the normal reserved number and rewrites it, and the normal symbol reserved display device (not shown) is displayed so as to display the normal reserved number after addition. Control.

Further, the main control CPU 30a performs prize ball processing for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls in the processing when the detection signals from the start sensors SE1, SE2 and the count sensor CS are input. In the prize ball processing, a payout designation command (payout signal) to be output to a payout control board (not shown) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 is generated and output. The payout control board that receives the payout designation command operates a ball payout device (not shown) provided in the pachinko game machine 10 to pay out a predetermined number of game balls as prize balls.

Next, the process (special figure variation process) relating to the execution of the special symbol variation game for deriving the lottery result of the winning lottery will be described. It should be noted that the main control CPU 30a executes a special figure variation process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms).

In the special figure variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the condition for starting the variation game of the special symbol is established. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition is met when the special symbol variation game is not being executed and the big win game is not being played, while the special symbol variation game is being executed or the big win is being played. When the game is in progress, it is determined that the start condition is not established. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure variation processing when the start condition is not satisfied.

The main control CPU 30a reads the start pending number of the second special game and determines whether the read start pending number is greater than zero when the start condition described above is satisfied. Then, when the start pending number of the second special game is larger than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process to start the variation game of the second special symbol. On the other hand, when the number of pending starts of the second special game is zero, the main control CPU 30a reads the number of pending starts of the first special game, and determines whether the read number of pending starts is greater than zero. Then, when the start pending number of the first special game is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process to start the variation game of the first special symbol.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is designed to preferentially execute the second special symbol variation game without simultaneously executing the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game. In this embodiment, the condition for starting the variable game of the second special symbol is satisfied when the condition for starting the variable game of the special symbol is established and the start pending number of the second special game is greater than zero. . Further, the condition for starting the variable game of the first special symbol is that the condition for starting the variable game of the special symbol is satisfied, and the number of start suspensions of the second special game is zero, and the first special It holds when the number of pending game starts is greater than zero. When both the number of pending starts of the first special game and the number of pending starts of the second special game are zero, the main control CPU 30a controls to the standby state and can specify the standby state. A control command (hereinafter referred to as a standby command) is output to the sub control board 31 .

When starting the variation game of the second special symbol, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the start reservation number of the second special game and rewrites it, and controls the reservation display device 24b so as to display the start reservation number after the subtraction. Control. Further, when the number of pending starts is subtracted, the main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub control board 31 a control command (such as a pending designation command) that can specify the number of pending starts after the subtraction.

Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the first stored random number information among the random number information stored in the main control RAM 30c.
After acquiring the random number information, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the big hit random number and the big hit determination value, and performs a winning lottery. In the winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the winning lottery (that is, the execution of the special figure variation process) is in a low probability state or a high probability state based on information that can specify the game state. Then, based on the determination result, it is determined whether or not a big win is achieved in a winning lottery with different winning probabilities.

In the winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the value of the big hit random number obtained from the main control RAM 30c matches the big hit determination value. Then, when the value of the big-hit random number and the big-hit judgment value match, the big-hit is won in the lottery. When a big win is won in the winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs a big win process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot pattern of the special pattern based on the value of the jackpot pattern random number specified from the acquired random number information. The determined big-hit symbol becomes the fixed stop symbol derived in the special symbol variation game. In addition, the jackpot pattern of the special pattern is associated with the type of jackpot. Therefore, determining the jackpot pattern means determining the type of jackpot.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a selects the main variation pattern from among the main variation patterns for the jackpot variation that can be selected when winning the jackpot based on the value of the main variation pattern distribution random number specified from the acquired random number information. decide.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a performs a loss process when the big win is not won in the winning lottery (in case of loss). In the losing process, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning symbols of the special symbols. This determined lost symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the special symbol variation game. In addition, the main control CPU 30a determines the main variation pattern for the deviation variation based on the value of the main variation pattern distribution random number specified from the acquired random number information. When determining the main variation pattern for loss variation, the main control CPU 30a determines either the main variation pattern with reach or the main variation pattern without reach.

In addition, when starting the variation game of the first special symbol, the main control CPU 30a performs the same control as the control of the second special symbol described above for the first special symbol. In other words, the main control CPU 30a performs subtraction of the number of pending starts of the first special game, a winning lottery, and a big win process or a losing process based on the results of the winning lottery.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a generates a control command for instructing the sub-control CPU 31a of the sub-control board 31 to control the game effect based on the result of the above-described processing as processing related to the execution of the special symbol variation game. process. Various control commands generated in this process are output to the sub-control CPU 31a at predetermined timings by the command output process performed by the main control CPU 30a.

When starting a variable game with special symbols, the main control CPU 30a generates a variable start command that can specify the start of the variable game as a control command. The variation start command also includes information capable of specifying the main variation pattern determined in the above-described jackpot process or loss process. Further, when starting a variable game of special symbols, the main control CPU 30a generates a special symbol command capable of specifying a special symbol as a control command. Since the jackpot pattern of the special pattern corresponds to the type of jackpot, the type of jackpot can be specified by the special pattern command. For this reason, the special figure command is a control command that can identify the success or failure, and is also a control command that can identify the type of big hit.

In addition, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation game reaches a predetermined variation time (the time determined in the main variation pattern), the main control CPU 30a issues a special symbol variation game as a control command. generate a variable stop command that can be specified to end the In addition, when starting a special symbol variation game, the main control CPU 30a controls the display contents of the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b so as to start the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. At the same time, measurement of fluctuation time is started. Then, the main control CPU 30a changes the display contents of the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b so as to derive the determined special symbol when the variation time determined in the determined main variation pattern has elapsed. Control.

Next, a description will be given of the processing relating to the progress of the jackpot game which is performed when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery.
The jackpot game of this embodiment includes an opening accompanying the start of the jackpot game, a round game for opening the jackpot 14, and an ending accompanying the end of the jackpot game. In other words, the jackpot game progresses step by step like opening→round game→ending. Then, the main control CPU 30a performs, as processing related to the progress of the big win game, a big win information generation process of generating a control command for instructing the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 to control the game effect, and opening and closing the big winning hole. A jackpot game control process for closing is performed. In the jackpot information generation process, the main control CPU 30 a generates an opening command that can specify the start of the opening and outputs it to the sub control board 31 when the opening starts. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates an opening command so as to specify whether the opening of the jackpot game based on the normal jackpot pattern or the opening of the jackpot game based on the specific jackpot pattern is started.

In addition, in the jackpot information generation process, the main control CPU 30a generates a round command capable of specifying the start of each round game and outputs it to the sub control board 31 with the start of each round game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates a round command so that it is possible to specify how many round games the newly started round game is after the start of the jackpot game. Also, in the jackpot information generation process, the main control CPU 30 a generates an ending command that can specify the start of the ending and outputs it to the sub control board 31 with the start of the ending. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates an opening command so that it can be specified whether the ending of the jackpot game based on the normal jackpot pattern or the ending of the jackpot game based on the specific jackpot pattern is started. Various control commands generated in the jackpot information generation process are output to the sub-control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing by the command output process performed by the main control CPU 30a.

Thus, in this embodiment, when a big win is won in the winning lottery, a big win game is provided. That is, in this embodiment, a jackpot game is provided according to the result of the winning lottery. A jackpot game is advantageous to the player because a large number of prize balls can be obtained.

Next, the processing relating to the game state will be explained.
In this process, the main control CPU 30 a generates a control command that can specify the game state as a control command and outputs it to the sub control board 31 .

The main control CPU 30a generates a state 1 designation command as a state designation command that can specify that the gaming state is a low probability non-time saving state when the gaming state is a low probability non-time saving state. In addition, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 2 designation command as a state designation command that can specify that the gaming state is a low probability time saving state when the game state is a low probability time saving state. In addition, when the game state is set to a high probability time saving state, the main control CPU 30a generates a state 3 designation command as a state designation command that can specify that the game state is a high probability time saving state. In addition, the main control CPU 30a counts the number of times of the executed special symbol variation game when managing the time saving state provision period by the number of times of variation, and ends the time saving state when the end condition of the time saving state is satisfied. Generate an exit command as an identifiable state specification command.

In this embodiment, the generated state designation command is output to the sub-control CPU 31a when the power is turned on (when power is restored) and when the game state changes. For example, when the game state after the end of the jackpot game is set to a high-probability short-time state, the state 3 designation command is output to the sub-control CPU 31a along with the end of the jackpot game. Incidentally, the state designation command is not limited to the exemplified control command, and may be set for each game state that needs to be recognized by the sub-control CPU 31a.

Next, a description will be given of a process (ordinary pattern variation process) relating to execution of a normal symbol variation game for deriving a lottery result of a normal winning lottery.
In the normal pattern variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the conditions for starting the normal pattern variation game are met. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition for the normal symbol variation game is satisfied when the normal symbol variation game is not being executed and the normal symbol winning game is not being performed. When the variation game is being executed or the normal symbol winning game is in progress, it is determined that the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is not established. The main control CPU 30a ends the normal pattern variation process when the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is not satisfied.

The main control CPU 30a reads the normal reserved number and determines whether the read normal reserved number is greater than zero when the condition for starting the variable game of normal symbols is satisfied. Then, when the number of normal reservations is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process to start a normal symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the number of normal reservations is zero, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal pattern fluctuation process.

When starting a variable game of normal symbols, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the normal reserved number and rewrites it. Then, the main control CPU 30a acquires the first stored random number information among the random number information (normal winning random numbers) stored in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the normal hit random number specified from the acquired random number information with the normal hit determination value, and performs a normal hit lottery. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a ball entry rate improving function. Therefore, when configured to execute probability variation control of normal symbols in the state (time saving state) in which the ball entry rate improvement function is operating, the main control CPU 30a in the normal winning lottery is in the time saving state at the time of the normal winning lottery. Ordinary winning lottery is performed with different winning probabilities depending on whether it is in a non-time-saving state.

In this embodiment, the winning probability in the non-time saving state is set to 0 (no normal hit), and the winning probability in the time saving state is set to 100% (no loss). The winning probability of normal winning in the normal winning lottery can be defined by the ratio of the number of values (normal winning determination value) that win normal winning to the possible values of random numbers for normal winning. In addition, in this embodiment, the probability of winning normally in the first time saving state and the probability of winning normally in the second time saving state are the same.

Returning to the description of the normal pattern variation process, in the normal winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the normal winning random number value obtained from the main control RAM 30c matches the normal winning determination value. When the normal hit random number value and the normal hit determination value match, the main control CPU 30a determines that the normal hit is won in the normal hit lottery. When a normal hit is won in the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs a normal hit process. In the normal winning process, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning pattern of the normal symbols and determines the variation pattern of the normal symbols that can specify the variation time of the variation game of the normal symbols. The determined winning symbol of the normal symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the variation game of the normal symbol. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a performs normal losing processing when the normal winning lottery is not won (in the case of loss). In the normal losing process, the main control CPU 30a determines the losing pattern of the normal symbols and also determines the variation pattern of the normal symbols. This determined lost symbol of the normal symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the variation game of the normal symbol.

Then, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display device 25 to execute the normal symbol variation game according to the determination result of the normal winning process or the normal losing process performed based on the result of the normal winning lottery, and the variation time. After the lapse of time, the winning pattern of the normal pattern or the losing pattern of the normal pattern is derived. In addition, when the normal winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal winning game after the normal symbol variation game ends. In the normal winning game, by opening the second starting port 13 in a predetermined open mode, it is controlled to take the allowable state to allow the entry of the game ball.

In this manner, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the second starting port 13 can be opened by the power of the actuator AC1 in the time saving state. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a controls so that the second starting port 13 does not open in the non-time saving state. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls so that the second starting port 13 continues to be in the closed state (non-open state) in the non-time saving state. In addition, the main control CPU 30a may be controlled so that the second starting port 13 can be in the open state with a lower probability than in the time saving state in the non time saving state. That is, the main control CPU 30a may win a normal hit in the normal winning lottery with a probability lower than the winning probability during the non-time saving state and the time saving state.

Next, various processes executed by the sub-control CPU 31a of the sub-control board 31 will be described based on the effect control program. When a control command is input from the main control CPU 30a, the sub control CPU 31a executes various processes according to the control command.

First, the effect symbol variation processing will be described.
In the performance symbol variation process, when receiving a special symbol command, the sub-control CPU 31a determines a combination of performance symbols to be derived in the performance symbol variation game based on the special symbols specified by the special symbol command. In this embodiment, deriving a combination of performance symbols means stopping and displaying the combination of performance symbols. In the following description, the combination of effect symbols is abbreviated as symbol combination, and when the variable game of special symbols and the variable game of effect symbols are not distinguished, they may simply be referred to as variable game.

The sub-control CPU 31a, when a special symbol jackpot pattern is designated, determines a jackpot pattern combination corresponding to the type of the special jackpot pattern. In addition, when the missing symbol of the special symbol is specified, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the symbol combination to be derived in the effect symbol variation game based on the main variation pattern specified from the variation start command. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a determines a winning symbol combination including a ready-to-win formation symbol when a main variation pattern with reach is specified among the main variation patterns for losing variation. Further, when a main variation pattern without reach is specified among the main variation patterns for loss variation, the sub-control CPU 31a determines a winning symbol combination that does not include a reach forming symbol.

In this embodiment, the effect pattern variation game derives a combination of three rows of effect symbols consisting of the left row, the middle row, and the right row as the result of the effect symbol variation game. In this embodiment, the identification information that constitutes the pattern combination is composed of a design imitating Arabic numerals. As a specific example, the identification information in each column is Arabic numerals [1] to [9]. As a result, the symbol combination is, for example, a combination such as [111] with the same identification information for all columns, or a combination such as [479], [337], [121] where the identification information for all columns is not the same. .

In this embodiment, the jackpot symbol combination is a symbol combination in which the identification information of all rows is the same. Also, the missing symbol combination is a symbol combination in which the identification information of all columns is not the same. In addition, the missing symbol combination including the ready-to-win pattern among the missing symbol combinations is a pattern in which the same identification information is derived (stopped display) in the ready-to-reach forming column (two columns of the left column and the right column in this embodiment). It's a combination. Further, among the missing symbol combinations, the missing symbol combination that does not include the ready-to-win formation pattern is a symbol combination from which identification information that is not identical to the ready-to-win formation row is derived. In this embodiment, in the effect symbol variation game, when reach is formed by deriving the same identification information in the reach formation row (stop display), the remaining rows (in this embodiment, one middle row) ) is derived (stopped display).

A ready-to-win performance executed by the pachinko game machine 10 includes a normal ready-to-win performance and a super ready-to-win performance developed from the normal ready-to-win performance. The normal ready-to-win effect is an effect to derive (stop display) a symbol combination by deriving (stopping display) the effect symbols of the remaining rows (one row in the center) after forming the ready-to-win state. In the super reach production, the production patterns of the remaining rows are derived (stopped display) by the normal reach production, or the production is developed in the middle of the normal reach production, and the pattern combination is derived (stopped display) by the production after the development. is. The super reach performance is positioned as a performance with a high degree of expectation for a big hit compared to the normal reach performance. The degree of expectation of a big hit can be calculated by the ratio of the appearance rate of the big hit to the total appearance rate of the sum of the appearance rate of the losing case and the appearance rate of the big win.

In addition, when the sub-control CPU 31a receives the variation start command, based on the type of the main variation pattern that can be specified from the command, the sub-variation pattern for controlling the display content of the first effect display device 11a. decide. For example, sub-variation patterns include a sub-variation pattern that derives a missing pattern combination without executing a reach production, a sub-variation pattern that derives a missing pattern combination in a normal reach production, and a jackpot pattern combination in a normal reach production. There are sub-variation patterns that Also, for example, the sub-variation pattern includes a sub-variation pattern for deriving a winning symbol combination in a super reach performance, a sub variation pattern for deriving a big hit symbol combination in a super reach performance, and the like. In this embodiment, the super ready-to-win effect includes a plurality of types of super ready-to-win effect with different effect times. Therefore, in this embodiment, there are sub-variation patterns corresponding to super ready-to-win effects with different effect times, and main variation patterns corresponding to the sub-variation patterns. The sub-variation pattern is information that can specify the content of variation (content of presentation) of the variation game of the presentation symbols.

After determining the sub-variation pattern, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the display contents of the first effect display device 11a so that the effect symbol variation game is displayed with the variation specified by the sub-variation pattern. Then, the sub-control CPU 31a causes the first effect display device 11a to end the effect symbol variation game and derive (stop display) the effect symbol combination when the variation time specified from the main variation pattern elapses. Control what is displayed. In this embodiment, the variation game of the performance symbols is ended with the reception of the variation stop command as a trigger. You may make it finish the variation game of . In other words, the end of the effect pattern variation game may be controlled without transmitting the variation stop command from the main control board 30 .

In addition, in controlling the first effect display device 11a, the sub-control CPU 31a of the sub-control board 31 selects an image to be executed, and reads data necessary for the selected image from the ROM. The sub-control board 31 is provided with a character ROM in which character image data to be displayed on the first effect display device 11a, specifically, characters, characters, graphics or symbols (including decoration patterns) are stored in advance. You can read the required data from Then, the sub-control CPU 31a of the sub-control board 31 outputs the read data to a VDP (video display processor). The VDP executes display control based on the input data to display an image in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a performs control similar to the control of the first effect display device 11a in controlling the second effect display device 11b and the third effect display device 11c.

In addition, when receiving a control command transmitted from the main control CPU 30a, the sub-control CPU 31a executes control according to the control command.
For example, during the jackpot game, the sub-control CPU 31a is transmitted with a control command that can identify the jackpot game. For example, such control commands include an opening command that can specify the start of the opening, a round command that can specify the start of each round game, and an ending command that can specify the start of the ending. After receiving these commands, the sub-control CPU 31a executes the opening effect, each round effect, and the ending effect in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a.

Next, the super ready-to-win effect performed in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the super ready-to-win effect is a effect including one or a plurality of confrontation effects. The confrontation effect is a effect in which a friend character (a character on the player's side) and an enemy character face each other. A detailed description will be given below.

As shown in FIG. 5(a), when the super ready-to-win effect is started, the first effect display device 11a displays icon images suggesting the types of allied characters in each of the confrontation effects that constitute the current super ready-to-win effect. be done. That is, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of types of teammate characters in each of the confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect. Also, in this embodiment, in the super ready-to-win effect, the confrontation effect is performed up to three times. Then, when the super ready-to-win effect is started, the first effect display device 11a displays three icon images respectively corresponding to the first confrontation effect to the third confrontation effect. In this embodiment, three icon images are displayed regardless of the number of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect.

Also, the icon image is displayed so that the corresponding confrontation effect can be specified. For example, the icon image suggesting the kind of teammate character in the first showdown effect is displayed on the leftmost of the three icon images. Also, the icon image suggesting the type of the teammate character in the second confrontation effect is displayed second from the left among the plurality of icon images. Also, the icon image suggesting the type of the teammate character in the third confrontation effect is displayed on the rightmost side of the plurality of icon images. That is, in this embodiment, the icon image corresponding to the first confrontation effect, the icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect, and the icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect are displayed in order from the left on the first effect display device 11a. is displayed.

In this embodiment, the types of ally characters include a first ally character Gc1, a second ally character Gc2, and a third ally character Gc3. Therefore, the icon images include a first icon image Gi1 suggesting the first teammate character Gc1, a second icon image Gi2 suggesting the second teammate character Gc2, and a third icon image suggesting the third teammate character Gc3. There are Gi3 and. For example, the first ally character Gc1 is a character imitating a "cat". Also, for example, the second ally character Gc2 is a character modeled after a "dog". Also, for example, the third ally character Gc3 is a character modeled after a "bear".

Also, in this embodiment, the first icon image Gi1 is an icon image imitating the first teammate character Gc1. The second icon image Gi2 is an icon image imitating the second teammate character Gc2. The third icon image Gi3 is an icon image imitating the third teammate character Gc3.

Also, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of types of ally characters, but only one type of enemy character. In this embodiment, one confrontation effect is executed by one of a plurality of types of ally characters and one type of enemy character (for example, a character imitating a "monkey"). That is, in this embodiment, while there is one type of enemy character, there are a plurality of types of ally characters, so there are a plurality of types of combinations of ally characters and enemy characters in one confrontation effect. Also, since there is only one type of enemy character, the icon image suggesting the type of the friend character in the corresponding confrontation presentation can be said to be information suggesting the combination of the friend character and the enemy character in the corresponding confrontation presentation. That is, by displaying the icon image, in the super ready-to-win effect, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in each of the plurality of confrontational effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect is suggested in advance.

As shown in FIG. 5(b), when a predetermined time (introduction time) elapses after the start of the super ready-to-win effect, the display of the icon image ends in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. The second confrontation production is started. At this time, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, a first confrontation start image Gb1 that can specify that the first confrontation effect has started is displayed. For example, the first battle start image Gb1 is an image imitating the character string "1stBattle". Also, at this time, icon effects are executed in the second effect display device 11b and the third effect display device 11c. The icon performance is a performance suggesting the kind of the ally character in the second confrontation performance and the kind of the ally character in the third confrontation performance during execution of a plurality of confrontation performances constituting the super ready-to-win performance. For example, the icon effect is an effect in which an icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect is displayed in the image display area GHb of the second effect display device 11b. Further, the icon effect is an effect in which an icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect is displayed in the image display area GHc of the third effect display device 11c. Icon presentation corresponds to special presentation.

As shown in FIG. 5(c), in the first showdown effect, an ally character is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. In this embodiment, when the type of friendly character displayed at this time is the same as the type of friendly character previously suggested by the icon image, and when it is different from the type of friendly character previously suggested by the icon image. There is. In addition, in the first confrontation effect, if a friendly character different from the type of friendly character suggested by the icon image is displayed in advance, the friendly character of the same type as the friendly character suggested by the icon image is displayed. The degree of expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character is higher than when it is displayed. Also, in the first showdown effect, an enemy character Ge is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. Also, in the first showdown effect, a gauge image Gg indicating the hit points of the enemy character is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a.

As shown in FIG. 5(d), in this embodiment, in the confrontation production that constitutes the super reach production, when the hit points of the enemy character become zero, the hit points of the enemy character become zero, thereby A character wins against an enemy character. Then, when the ally character wins over the enemy character in the first confrontation effect, the super ready-to-win effect ends with the end of the confrontation effect as a trigger. That is, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the first confrontation effect, the second and subsequent confrontation effects are not executed in the super ready-to-reach effect. At this time, the symbol combination for the big hit is derived in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a.

As shown in FIG. 5(e), when the hit points of the enemy character do not reach zero, the first confrontation production is started when a predetermined production time has elapsed after the start of the first confrontation production. ends. In this embodiment, when a predetermined presentation time has elapsed after the start of the first confrontation presentation, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character have not reached zero. When the ally character is defeated in the first confrontation presentation, the second confrontation presentation is started with the end of the first confrontation presentation.

As shown in FIG. 6(a), when the second confrontation effect is started, the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a displays a second display capable of specifying that the second confrontation effect has started. A confrontation start image Gb2 is displayed. For example, the second battle start image Gb2 is an image imitating the character string "2ndBattle". At this time, in the icon effect, the second effect display device 11b moves from the original position P1b to the effect position P2b. Also, at this time, in the icon effect, the icon image displayed in the image display area GHb of the second effect display device 11b may change to an icon image suggesting a different kind of teammate character.

In this embodiment, when the displayed icon image changes, the teammate character suggested by the changed icon image is displayed in the second confrontation effect. That is, the type of the ally character displayed in the second confrontation effect is the type suggested by the icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect displayed when the super ready-to-win effect is started, or the super There are times when the kind suggested by the icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect displayed when the ready-to-win effect is started is different. In addition, in the second confrontation effect, if a friendly character different from the type of friendly character suggested by the icon image is displayed in advance, the friendly character of the same type as the friendly character suggested by the icon image in advance is displayed. The degree of expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character is higher than when it is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 6(b), in the second showdown effect, an ally character is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. Also, in the second showdown effect, the enemy character Ge is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. Also, in the second showdown effect, a gauge image Gg indicating the hit points of the enemy character is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. In this embodiment, the hit points of the enemy character in the second confrontation effect are the hit points of the enemy character when the first confrontation effect ends.

At this time, as the friendly character is displayed on the first effect display device 11a, in the icon effect, the type of the friendly character in the second confrontation effect is displayed in the image display area GHb of the second effect display device 11b. The display mode of the suggested icon image changes. For example, in the icon effect, the icon image suggesting the type of the teammate character in the second confrontation effect is grayed out in the image display area GHb of the second effect display device 11b.

As shown in FIG. 6(c), in the confrontation effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect, the ally character wins against the enemy character when the hit points of the enemy character become zero. Then, when the ally character wins over the enemy character in the second confrontation effect, the super ready-to-win effect ends with the end of the confrontation effect as a trigger. That is, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the second confrontation effect, the third confrontation effect is not executed in the super ready-to-reach effect. At this time, the symbol combination for the big hit is derived in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a.

As shown in FIG. 6(d), when the hit points of the enemy character do not reach zero, the second confrontation production is started when a predetermined production time has elapsed after the start of the second confrontation production. ends. In this embodiment, when a predetermined presentation time has elapsed after the start of the second confrontation presentation, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character have not reached zero. When the ally character is defeated in the second confrontation presentation, the third confrontation presentation is started when the second confrontation presentation ends.

As shown in FIG. 7(a), when the third confrontation effect is started, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, a third display capable of specifying that the third confrontation effect has started is displayed. A confrontation start image Gb3 is displayed. For example, the third battle start image Gb3 is an image imitating the character string "3rdBattle". At this time, in the icon effect, the third effect display device 11c moves from the original position P1c to the effect position P2c. Also, at this time, in the icon effect, the icon image displayed in the image display area GHc of the third effect display device 11c may change to an icon image suggesting a different kind of teammate character.

In this embodiment, when the displayed icon image changes, the teammate character suggested by the changed icon image is displayed in the third confrontation effect. That is, the type of the ally character displayed in the third confrontation effect is the type suggested by the icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect displayed when the super ready-to-win effect is started, or the super There are times when it is different from the type suggested by the icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect displayed when the ready-to-win effect was started. In addition, in the third confrontation effect, if a friendly character different from the type of friendly character suggested by the icon image is displayed in advance, the friendly character of the same type as the friendly character suggested by the icon image in advance is displayed. The degree of expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character is higher than when it is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7B, in the third showdown effect, a teammate character is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. Also, in the third showdown effect, the enemy character Ge is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. Also, in the third showdown effect, a gauge image Gg indicating the hit points of the enemy character is displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a. In this embodiment, the hit points of the enemy character in the third confrontation effect are the hit points of the enemy character when the second confrontation effect ends.

At this time, in accordance with the fact that the teammate character is displayed on the first effect display device 11a, in the icon effect, the type of the teammate character in the third confrontation effect is displayed in the image display area GHc of the third effect display device 11c. The display mode of the suggested icon image changes. For example, in the icon effect, the icon image suggesting the kind of teammate character in the third confrontation effect is grayed out in the image display area GHc of the third effect display device 11c.

As shown in FIG. 7(c), in the confrontation effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect, the ally character wins against the enemy character when the enemy character's hit points become zero. Then, when the ally character wins over the enemy character in the third confrontation effect, the super ready-to-win effect ends with the end of the confrontation effect as a trigger. At this time, the symbol combination for the big hit is derived in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a.

As shown in FIG. 7(d), when the hit points of the enemy character do not reach zero, the third confrontation effect is started when a predetermined effect time has elapsed after the start of the third confrontation effect. ends. In this embodiment, when a predetermined presentation time has elapsed after the start of the third confrontation presentation, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character have not reached zero. When the ally character is defeated in the third confrontation effect, the super ready-to-win effect ends when the third confrontation effect ends. At this time, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, the missing symbol combination is derived.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the ally character wins over the enemy character in any one of the confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect, the first effect display device 11a derives a symbol combination for a big win. be. On the other hand, when the ally character does not win the enemy character in any of the confrontation performances constituting the super ready-to-win performance (when he loses), the first performance display device 11a derives a winning pattern combination. That is, in the super ready-to-win effect executed in the case of a big win, the ally character wins over the enemy character in one of the one or more confrontation effects, while the super ready-to-win effect is executed in the case of a loss. Then, the ally character does not win (defeat) the enemy character in any one of the plurality of confrontation effects. Then, the number of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect in the case of a big win may be smaller than the number of confrontation effects to constitute the super ready-to-win effect in the case of losing. In the following description, a super ready-to-win effect in which a teammate character wins over an enemy character in one of one or more confrontational effects may be referred to as a "super ready-to-reach effect according to the first aspect". Also, a super ready-to-win effect in which the ally character does not win (defeat) the enemy character in any one of the plurality of confrontational effects may be referred to as "super ready-to-win effect according to the second aspect". In this embodiment, the super reach effect corresponds to the specific effect. Also, the super ready-to-win effect according to the first mode corresponds to the first specific effect, and the super ready-to-win effect according to the second mode corresponds to the second specific effect. In this embodiment, since the super ready-to-win effect according to the first mode is a super ready-to-win effect that is executed in the case of a big hit, the super ready-to-win effect according to the first mode is provided with an advantageous state for the player. It is an identifiable performance.

Further, in this embodiment, when the hit points of the enemy character become zero in a predetermined confrontation effect, the predetermined confrontation effect ends. Then, the super ready-to-win effect ends when the predetermined confrontation effect ends. Therefore, the hit points of the enemy character can be said to be information suggesting the end timing of the super ready-to-win effect. That is, in this embodiment, it can be said that the gauge image Gg indicates the end timing of the super ready-to-win effect during execution of the super ready-to-win effect.

As shown in FIG. 8, in this embodiment, the effect time of the super ready-to-win effect differs depending on the number of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect. For example, when the number of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect is 1, that is, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the first confrontation effect, the effect time of the super reach effect is, for example, 20 seconds. When the ally character wins the enemy character in the first confrontation effect, the introduction time (shown as the introduction part in the figure) from the start of the super reach effect to the start of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 5 seconds. is. Further, when the ally character wins over the enemy character in the first confrontation effect, the effect time of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 15 seconds. In this case, when 15 seconds elapse in the first confrontation effect, the hit points of the enemy character become 0, so that the friend character wins against the enemy character, and the symbol combination for the big win is displayed on the first effect display device 11a. It is derived, and the first confrontation effect and the super reach effect end.

Further, for example, when the number of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect is 2, that is, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the second confrontation effect, the effect time of the super reach effect is, for example, 35 seconds. . When the ally character wins the enemy character in the second confrontation effect, the introduction time from the start of the super reach effect to the start of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 5 seconds. Further, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the second confrontation effect, the effect time of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 10 seconds. In this case, when 10 seconds elapse in the first confrontation performance, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character are not 0, and the first confrontation performance ends.

Also, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the second confrontation effect, the effect time of the second confrontation effect is, for example, 20 seconds. In this case, when 20 seconds elapse in the second confrontation effect, the hit points of the enemy character become 0, so that the friend character wins against the enemy character, and the symbol combination for the big win is displayed on the first effect display device 11a. It is derived, and the second confrontation effect and the super ready-to-win effect are finished.

Further, for example, if the number of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect is three, the friendly character wins over the enemy character in the third confrontation effect, and the friendly character defeats the enemy character in each of the three confrontation effects. The production time of the super reach production differs between when you do not win (when you lose). When the ally character wins the enemy character in the third showdown presentation, the presentation time of the super ready-to-win presentation is, for example, 55 seconds. When the ally character wins the enemy character in the third confrontation effect, the introduction time from the start of the super reach effect to the start of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 5 seconds. Further, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the third confrontation effect, the effect time of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 10 seconds. In this case, when 10 seconds elapse in the first confrontation performance, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character are not 0, and the first confrontation performance ends.

Further, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the third confrontation effect, the effect time of the second confrontation effect is, for example, 15 seconds. In this case, when 15 seconds elapse in the second confrontation performance, the friend character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character have not reached 0, and the second confrontation performance ends. Further, when the ally character wins the enemy character in the third confrontation effect, the effect time of the third confrontation effect is, for example, 25 seconds. In this case, when 25 seconds elapse in the third confrontation effect, the hit points of the enemy character become 0, so that the friend character wins against the enemy character, and the symbol combination for the big win is displayed on the first effect display device 11a. It is derived, and the third confrontation effect and the super ready-to-win effect are finished.

When the friendly character does not win against the enemy character in any of the three confrontation effects, the effect time of the super ready-to-win effect is, for example, 50 seconds. When the ally character does not win the enemy character in any of the three confrontation effects, the introduction time from the start of the super reach effect to the start of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 5 seconds. Further, when the ally character does not win against the enemy character in any of the three confrontation effects, the effect time of the first confrontation effect is, for example, 10 seconds. In this case, when 10 seconds elapse in the first confrontation performance, the ally character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character are not 0, and the first confrontation performance ends.

Further, when the ally character does not win against the enemy character in any of the three confrontation effects, the effect time of the second confrontation effect is, for example, 15 seconds. In this case, when 15 seconds elapse in the second confrontation performance, the friend character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit points of the enemy character have not reached 0, and the second confrontation performance ends. Further, when the ally character does not win against the enemy character in any of the three confrontation effects, the effect time of the third confrontation effect is, for example, 20 seconds. In this case, when 20 seconds have passed in the third confrontation effect, the friend character is defeated by the enemy character because the hit point of the enemy character has not reached 0, and the first effect display device 11a shows a missing symbol. A combination is derived, and the third confrontation effect and the super ready-to-win effect are finished.

As described above, in this embodiment, the introduction time from the start of the super ready-to-reach effect to the start of the first confrontation effect is determined by whether the ally character wins over the enemy character in the confrontation effect constituting the super reach effect. The same is true regardless of whether or not On the other hand, the presentation time of the first confrontation presentation differs depending on whether or not the ally character wins over the enemy character in the first confrontation presentation. More specifically, the rendering time of the first confrontation effect is compared to the case where the friendly character wins over the enemy character in the first confrontation effect and the case where the friendly character does not defeat the enemy character in the first confrontation effect. and long. Also, the presentation time of the second confrontation presentation differs depending on whether or not the ally character wins the enemy character in the second confrontation presentation. More specifically, the rendering time of the second confrontation effect is compared to the case where the friendly character wins over the enemy character in the second confrontation effect and the case where the friendly character does not defeat the enemy character in the second confrontation effect. and long. Also, the presentation time of the third confrontation presentation differs depending on whether or not the ally character wins over the enemy character in the third confrontation presentation. More specifically, the rendering time of the third confrontation effect is compared to the case where the friendly character wins over the enemy character in the third confrontation effect and the case where the friendly character does not defeat the enemy character in the third confrontation effect. and long. That is, in this embodiment, the performance time of the predetermined confrontation effect differs depending on whether or not the predetermined confrontation effect is won. On the other hand, the presentation time of the confrontation presentation executed before the predetermined confrontation presentation is the same regardless of whether or not the predetermined confrontation presentation is won. More specifically, regardless of whether or not the teammate character wins in the second confrontation effect out of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-reach effect, The time until the second confrontation production starts is the same. In addition, regardless of whether or not the ally character wins in the third confrontation effect out of the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect, the third confrontation effect out of the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super reach effect. start time is the same. That is, in this embodiment, regardless of whether or not the teammate character wins in the final confrontation effect among the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect, the final character among the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super reach effect The time until the confrontation production starts is the same.

Next, the process executed by the sub-control CPU 31a for determining the effect mode of the super ready-to-win effect when executing the super ready-to-win effect will be described.
When executing the super ready-to-win effect, the sub-control CPU 31a determines one combination pattern from the combination patterns that define the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in each confrontation effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect. The combination pattern is information that defines the effect mode of the super ready-to-win effect. Therefore, the sub-control CPU 31a determines the effect mode of the super ready-to-win effect in the case of executing the super ready-to-win effect by determining the combination pattern.

Further, when determining the combination pattern, the sub-control CPU 31a determines each of the combinations of ally characters and enemy characters in the first to third confrontation effects, regardless of the number of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect. One combination pattern is determined from a plurality of combination patterns. Further, when determining the combination pattern, the sub-control CPU 31a determines that the type of the ally character in the confrontation effect is the second ally character Gc2 compared to the case of the first ally character Gc1 in the confrontation effect. Then, the combination pattern is determined so as to increase the expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character. Further, when determining the combination pattern, the sub-control CPU 31a determines that when the type of the ally character in the confrontation effect is the third ally character Gc3, the type of the ally character in the confrontation effect is the second ally character Gc2. Then, the combination pattern is determined so as to increase the expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character. That is, in this embodiment, in the confrontation effect, the degree of expectation that the teammate character wins over the enemy character in the confrontation effect differs depending on the type of the teammate character in the confrontation effect. Also, as described above, in this embodiment, there is only one type of enemy character. Therefore, in this embodiment, it can be said that in the confrontation effect, the degree of expectation that the ally character wins over the enemy character in the confrontation effect differs depending on the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the confrontation effect.

A specific example of the combination pattern will now be described.
As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, there are combination patterns Cp1 to Cp216 as the combination patterns of the showdown effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect. Here, the combination patterns Cp1 to Cp6, the combination pattern Cp215, and the combination pattern Cp216 will be described, and detailed description of the other combination patterns will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in one confrontation production includes the combination of the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge, the combination of the second ally character Gc2 and the enemy character Ge, and the third ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge. There is a combination of an ally character Gc3 and an enemy character Ge. Also, the friendly characters suggested in the confrontation effect of 1 include a first friendly character Gc1, a second friendly character Gc2, and a third friendly character Gc3.

For example, the combination pattern Cp1 is a combination pattern in which the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge are all combinations of the ally character and the enemy character in the first to third confrontation effects. Also, the combination pattern Cp1 is a combination pattern in which the first teammate character Gc1 is suggested as the teammate character in the first to third confrontation effects.

Further, in the combination pattern Cp2, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first and second confrontation effects is both the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the third confrontation effect is This is a combination pattern of the second ally character Gc2 and the enemy character Ge. Also, the combination pattern Cp2 is a combination pattern in which the first teammate character Gc1 is suggested as the teammate character in the first to third confrontation effects. That is, the combination pattern Cp2 is a combination pattern in which the type of the ally character displayed in the third confrontation effect is different from the suggested ally character type.

Further, in the combination pattern Cp3, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first and second confrontation effects is both the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the third confrontation effect is This is a combination pattern of the second ally character Gc2 and the enemy character Ge. The combination pattern Cp3 is a combination pattern in which the first ally character Gc1 is suggested as the ally character in the first and second confrontation effects, and the second ally character Gc2 is suggested as the ally character in the third confrontation effect.

Further, in the combination pattern Cp4, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first and second confrontation effects is both the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the third confrontation effect is This is a combination pattern of the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. Also, the combination pattern Cp4 is a combination pattern in which the first teammate character Gc1 is suggested as the teammate character in the first to third confrontation effects. That is, the combination pattern Cp4 is a combination pattern in which the type of the ally character displayed in the third confrontation effect is different from the suggested ally character type.

Further, in the combination pattern Cp5, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first and second confrontation effects is both the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the third confrontation effect is This is a combination pattern of the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. The combination pattern Cp5 is a combination pattern in which the first teammate character Gc1 is suggested as the teammate character in the first and second confrontation effects, and the second teammate character Gc2 is suggested as the teammate character in the third confrontation effect. That is, the combination pattern Cp5 is a combination pattern in which the type of the ally character displayed in the third confrontation effect is different from the suggested ally character type.

Further, in the combination pattern Cp6, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first and second confrontation effects is both the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the third confrontation effect is This is a combination pattern of the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. The combination pattern Cp6 is a combination pattern in which the first ally character Gc1 is suggested as the ally character in the first and second confrontation effects, and the third ally character Gc3 is suggested as the ally character in the third confrontation effect.

Also, the combination pattern Cp215 is a combination pattern in which the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first to third confrontation effects are all the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. The combination pattern Cp215 is a combination pattern in which the third ally character Gc3 is suggested as the ally character in the first and second confrontation effects, and the second ally character Gc2 is suggested as the ally character in the third confrontation effect. That is, the combination pattern Cp215 is a combination pattern in which the type of the ally character displayed in the third confrontation effect is different from the suggested ally character type.

Also, the combination pattern Cp216 is a combination pattern in which the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first to third confrontation effects are all the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. Also, the combination pattern Cp216 is a combination pattern in which the third teammate character Gc3 is suggested as the teammate character in the first to third confrontation effects.

Thus, in the first confrontation production, the first ally character Gc1 is suggested in advance as the ally character to be displayed in the confrontation production, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character is the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge. Sometimes. Further, in the confrontation production of 1, the second ally character Gc2 may be suggested in advance as the ally character to be displayed in the confrontation production, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character may be the second ally character Gc2 and the enemy character Ge. be. Further, in the confrontation production of 1, the third ally character Gc3 may be suggested in advance as the ally character to be displayed in the confrontation production, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character may be the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. be.

Further, in the confrontation effect 1, the first ally character Gc1 may be suggested in advance as the ally character displayed in the confrontation effect, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character may be the second ally character Gc2 and the enemy character Ge. be. Further, in the confrontation production of 1, the first ally character Gc1 may be suggested in advance as the ally character displayed in the confrontation production, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character may be the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. be. Further, in the confrontation production of 1, the second ally character Gc2 may be suggested in advance as the ally character displayed in the confrontation production, and the combination of the ally character and the enemy character may be the third ally character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge. be. That is, one confrontation effect includes a plurality of types of confrontation effects in which combinations of friendly characters and enemy characters and suggested friendly characters are different. In this embodiment, when a friendly character different from the previously suggested friendly character is displayed in the confrontation presentation, the friendly character displayed in the confrontation presentation is Allied characters that are highly expected to win are displayed.

In this embodiment, there are six types of first to third confrontation effects, respectively. )*types of second confrontation effects (6 types)*types of third confrontation effects (6 types), totaling 216 types.

Further, as described above, in the icon effect, among the icon images displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a when the super ready-to-win effect is started, the icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect is displayed. The same icon image as is displayed in the image display area GHb of the second effect display device 11b. In the icon effect, among the icon images displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a when the super ready-to-win effect is started, the same icon image as the icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect is displayed. It is displayed in the image display area GHb of the third effect display device 11c.

In the icon presentation, if the second confrontation presentation is performed with a combination different from the combination of the friend character and the enemy character suggested in advance in the second confrontation presentation, at the start of the second confrontation presentation , the icon image suggesting the ally character in the second showdown effect changes. Similarly, in the icon presentation, when the third confrontation presentation is performed with a combination different from the combination of the ally character and the enemy character suggested in advance in the third confrontation presentation, the third confrontation presentation is started. Sometimes, the icon image suggesting the ally character in the third confrontation effect changes. Therefore, the combination pattern of the confrontation effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect is also information capable of specifying the effect mode of the icon effect. That is, it can be said that the sub-control CPU 31a determines the effect mode of the icon effect by determining the combination pattern of the confrontation effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect.

Also, in this embodiment, in each of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect, an ally character different from the previously displayed ally character may be displayed. That is, in each of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect, the execution of the confrontation effect by the previously suggested combination of the friend character and the enemy character may be restricted. In addition, in this embodiment, in the confrontation effect executed at this time, the combination of the friendly character and the enemy character has a higher degree of expectation than the previously suggested combination of the friendly character and the enemy character. That is, in this embodiment, in each of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect, the confrontation is based on a combination in which the ally character is highly expected to win, compared to the previously suggested combination of the ally character and the enemy character. A rendition can be performed.

10 and 11, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 configured as described above will be described below.
FIG. 10(a) shows a situation in which the super ready-to-win effect is started by the combination pattern Cp4. The sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a to display icon images based on the combination pattern when starting the super ready-to-win effect. As a result, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, the first icon image Gi1 is displayed as the icon image corresponding to the first confrontation effect. That is, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, it is suggested that the first teammate character Gc1 will be displayed in the first confrontation effect. Also, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, the first icon image Gi1 is displayed as the icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect. That is, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, it is suggested that the first teammate character Gc1 will be displayed in the second confrontation effect. Also, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, the first icon image Gi1 is displayed as the icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect. That is, in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a, it is suggested that the first teammate character Gc1 will be displayed in the third confrontation effect. On the other hand, at this time, since the first confrontation effect has not started, the image display area GHb of the second effect display device 11b and the image display region GHc of the third effect display device 11c correspond to the second confrontation effect. The icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect and the icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect are not displayed.

As described above, in the confrontation effect, the degree of expectation that the teammate character wins over the enemy character in the confrontation effect differs depending on the type of the teammate character in the confrontation effect. Therefore, each of the icon images suggesting the ally character in each of the first to third confrontation presentations is information indicating the degree of expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character in the corresponding confrontation presentation. That is, in this embodiment, in the super ready-to-win effect, the degree of expectation that the teammate character will win in the first confrontation effect is suggested before the first confrontation effect in the confrontation effect constituting the super ready-to-win effect is started.

In addition, in the super ready-to-win effect, the degree of expectation that the teammate character will win in the second confrontation effect is suggested before the second confrontation effect is started among the confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect. More specifically, the super ready-to-win effect indicates the degree of expectation that the teammate character will win in the second confrontation effect before the first one of the confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect is started.

In addition, in the super ready-to-win effect, the degree of expectation that the teammate character will win in the third confrontation effect is suggested before the third confrontation effect is started among the confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect. More specifically, the super ready-to-win effect suggests the degree of expectation that the teammate character will win in the third confrontation effect before the first one of the confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect is started.

At this time, all the icon images displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a when the super ready-to-win effect is started are the first icon images Gi1. Therefore, a player who knows that the first ally character Gc1 is less likely to expect the ally character to win over the enemy character in the confrontation effect than the second ally character Gc2 and the third ally character Gc3 will be able to perform each confrontation effect. , a character different from the first teammate character suggested by the first icon image Gi1 is expected to be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 10(b), when the introduction time (5 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the super ready-to-win effect, the sub-control CPU 31a causes the first confrontation effect to start. It controls the first effect display device 11a, the second effect display device 11b, and the third effect display device 11c. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so as to display the first confrontation start image Gb1 that can identify the start of the first confrontation effect. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the second effect display device 11b so that the first icon image Gi1 is displayed as the icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect based on the combination pattern. Also, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the third effect display device 11c to display the first icon image Gi1 as the icon image corresponding to the third confrontation effect based on the combination pattern.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10(c), the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so that the first friend character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge are displayed based on the combination pattern. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so that the gauge image Gg indicating the hit points of the enemy character is displayed. At this time, since this is the first confrontation effect, the gauge image Gg displayed at this time is a gauge image Gg suggesting that the enemy character has the maximum hit points.

As shown in FIG. 10(d), when the first confrontation effect ends, the sub-control CPU 31a displays a situation in which the first ally character Gc1 is defeated by the enemy character Ge based on the combination pattern. It controls the first effect display device 11a. Also, the sub-control CPU 31a updates the gauge image Gg so that the hit points of the enemy character that have been reduced by the first confrontation effect can be identified. Note that in this embodiment, the enemy character's hit points, which decrease when the ally character is defeated in the confrontation effect, are constant.

Further, when the first confrontation effect ends, the second effect display device 11b and the third effect display device 11c display the first icon image Gi1 corresponding to the second confrontation effect and the third confrontation effect. , and the third icon image Gi3 corresponding to . Therefore, the player can recognize that while the first confrontation effect has ended, the second confrontation effect and the third confrontation effect can be executed after this.

As shown in FIG. 10(e), when the first confrontation effect is completed, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so as to start the second confrontation effect. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so as to display the second confrontation start image Gb2 that can identify the start of the second confrontation effect. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect actuator EA1 so that the second effect display device 11b moves from the original position P1b to the effect position P2b. At this time, since the combination pattern is the combination pattern Cp4, the first icon image Gi1 displayed on the second effect display device 11b does not change to another icon image. The player can perform the second game by combining the first friend character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge indicated by the first icon image Gi1 displayed when the second effect display device 11b moves from the original position P1b to the effect position P2b. It is possible to specify that the confrontation effect of is executed.

After that, as shown in FIG. 10(f), the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so that the first friend character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge are displayed based on the combination pattern. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so that the gauge image Gg indicating the hit points of the enemy character is displayed. As described above, in this embodiment, the hit points of the enemy character in the second confrontation effect are the hit points of the enemy character when the first confrontation effect ends. Therefore, the gauge image Gg displayed at this time is an image suggesting the same hit points as the gauge image Gg that was displayed when the first confrontation effect ended. In the super ready-to-reach effect by the combination pattern Cp4, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in both the first confrontation effect and the second confrontation effect is the combination of the first ally character Gc1 and the enemy character Ge. On the other hand, the hit points of the enemy character suggested by the gauge image Gg are different between the first confrontation effect and the second confrontation effect. Therefore, even if the combination of the ally character and the enemy character is the same, in the second confrontation production in which the hit points of the enemy character are small, the expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character is higher than in the first confrontation production. A player can be made to perceive it to be high.

Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the second effect display device 11b so that the display mode of the first icon image Gi1 indicating the type of the teammate character in the second confrontation effect is changed. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the second effect display device 11b so that the first icon image Gi1 indicating the type of the teammate character in the second confrontation effect is grayed out. This allows the player to recognize that the current confrontation effect is the second confrontation effect.

As shown in FIG. 11(a), when the second confrontation effect ends, the sub-control CPU 31a displays a situation in which the first ally character Gc1 is defeated by the enemy character Ge based on the combination pattern. It controls the first effect display device 11a. Also, the sub-control CPU 31a updates the gauge image Gg so that the hit points of the enemy character that have been reduced by the second confrontation effect can be identified.

Further, when the second confrontation effect ends, the second effect display device 11b displays the first icon image Gi1 corresponding to the second confrontation effect in gray out, while the third effect display device 11c displays , and the third icon image Gi3 corresponding to the third confrontation effect are continuously displayed. Therefore, the player can recognize that the third confrontation effect can be executed after the first and second confrontation effects are completed.

As shown in FIG. 11(b), when the second confrontation effect is completed, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so as to start the third confrontation effect. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so as to display a third showdown start image Gb3 that can specify that the third showdown production has started. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the effect actuator EA2 so that the third effect display device 11c moves from the original position P1c to the effect position P2c. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the third effect display device 11c so that the first icon image Gi1 displayed on the third effect display device 11c changes to another third icon image Gi3 based on the combination pattern. do. As a result, the player can recognize that the type of the ally character in the third confrontation effect is not the previously suggested first ally character Gc1, but the third ally character Gc3. That is, the player can recognize that the third confrontation effect will be executed with a combination different from the previously suggested combination of the friend character and the enemy character in the third confrontation effect. More specifically, the player can see the third teammate character Gc3 and the enemy character indicated by the third icon image Gi3 displayed when the third effect display device 11c moves from the original position P1c to the effect position P2c. It is possible to specify that the third confrontation effect is to be executed depending on the combination of the characters Ge.

After that, as shown in FIG. 11(c), the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so that the third friend character Gc3 and the enemy character Ge are displayed based on the combination pattern. That is, in the super ready-to-win effect by the combination pattern Cp4, the icon image displayed on the first effect display device 11a in the introduction part of the super ready-to-win effect, and the icon image displayed on the third effect display device 11c until the third confrontation effect is started An ally character different from the ally character suggested by the displayed icon image is displayed.

Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the first effect display device 11a so that the gauge image Gg indicating the hit points of the enemy character is displayed. As described above, in this embodiment, the hit points of the enemy character in the third confrontation effect are the hit points of the enemy character when the second confrontation effect ends. Therefore, the gauge image Gg displayed at this time is an image suggesting the same hit points as the gauge image Gg that was displayed when the second confrontation effect ended. Further, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the third effect display device 11c so that the display mode of the third icon image Gi3 indicating the type of the teammate character in the third confrontation effect is changed. Specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a controls the third effect display device 11c so that the third icon image Gi3 indicating the type of the teammate character in the third confrontation effect is grayed out.

At this time, the first icon image Gi1 corresponding to the second confrontation effect displayed on the second effect display device 11b and the third icon image Gi1 corresponding to the third confrontation effect displayed on the third effect display device 11c. The icon image Gi3 is grayed out and displayed. Therefore, the player can recognize that the current confrontation effect is the third confrontation effect. That is, the player can recognize that the confrontation effect will not be executed after this.

As shown in FIG. 11(d), when the third confrontation effect ends, the sub-control CPU 31a displays a situation in which the third ally character Gc3 wins over the enemy character Ge based on the combination pattern. It controls the first effect display device 11a. Also, the sub-control CPU 31a updates the gauge image Gg so that the hit points of the enemy character that have been reduced by the third confrontation effect can be identified. More specifically, the sub-control CPU 31a updates the gauge image Gg so that the enemy character's hit points, which have been reduced to zero by the third confrontation effect, can be specified.

Thus, in this embodiment, during the execution of the super ready-to-win effect, the first effect display device 11a, the second effect display device 11b, and the third effect display device 11c display in the confrontation effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect. An icon image is displayed that suggests the type of friendly character to be used. That is, during the execution of the non-final confrontation effect among the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect, at least the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the confrontation effect next to the confrontation effect is suggested. Further, as described above, during execution of the super ready-to-win effect, the second effect display device 11b and the third effect display device 11c display the icon image corresponding to the second confrontation effect and the third icon image. The production is an icon production. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the confrontation effect being executed is a non-final confrontation effect among the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect, the icon effect is at least the confrontation effect subsequent to the confrontation effect being executed. It can be said that it is a production that suggests a combination of friendly characters and enemy characters in the game. In the final confrontation effect among the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-reach effect, the combination of the ally character and the enemy character has already been reported. It can be said that a combination of an ally character and an enemy character is not suggested.

Further, as described above, in the confrontation effect, the degree of expectation that the teammate character wins over the enemy character in the confrontation effect differs depending on the type of the teammate character in the confrontation effect. In this embodiment, when a teammate character wins against an enemy character in a confrontation effect that constitutes a super ready-to-win effect, that is, when the super ready-to-win effect according to the first aspect is executed, a jackpot game is started after the end of the super ready-to-win effect. Granted. Therefore, it can be said that the icon image is information suggesting the type of the super ready-to-win effect. Similarly, the icon effect can be said to be information suggesting the type of super ready-to-win effect. That is, in this embodiment, the type of super ready-to-win effect is suggested during execution of the super ready-to-win effect.

Further, during execution of the confrontation effect, the icon images displayed on the second effect display device 11b and the third effect display device 11c change in display mode according to the progress of the super ready-to-win effect. Therefore, during execution of the confrontation effect, the player can recognize the progress of the super ready-to-win effect from the display mode of the icon images displayed on the second effect display device 11b and the third effect display device 11c. More specifically, during the execution of the confrontation effect, the player can determine how many times the current confrontation effect has occurred from the display modes of the icon images displayed on the second effect display device 11b and the third effect display device 11c. It is possible to recognize whether it is a confrontation performance. In other words, in this embodiment, the icon effect can be said to be a effect that suggests the number of the confrontation effect among the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect during execution of the confrontation effect.

As detailed above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) According to this embodiment, when the super ready-to-win effect is executed, even if the teammate character is defeated in the non-final showdown effect that constitutes the super ready-to-win effect, the teammate character will be defeated in the subsequent showdown effect. By winning, a situation may arise in which the super ready-to-win effect being executed is the super ready-to-win effect according to the first mode. Therefore, even if the teammate character is defeated in the confrontation presentation, it is possible to prevent the player from losing interest in the game. On the other hand, in the super ready-to-win effect configured in this way, a plurality of confrontation effects are executed, so if there are multiple combinations of friendly characters and enemy characters, the control for determining the combinations becomes complicated. There is fear. While there is such a risk, in this embodiment, one combination pattern is determined from a plurality of combination patterns that define combinations of ally characters and enemy characters in each of a plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect. , it is possible to prevent the control for determining the combination of characters in the confrontation production from becoming complicated. In addition, in the super ready-to-win effect, by suggesting the degree of expectation that the teammate character will win before the start of the first confrontation effect, the player can guess the result of the confrontation effect. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the player.

(2) In this embodiment, at least one of the type of the super ready-to-win effect and the end timing of the super ready-to-win effect is suggested during execution of the super ready-to-win effect including a plurality of confrontation effects. As a result, it is possible to further improve the interest of the player when the super ready-to-win effect including a plurality of confrontation effects is executed.

(3) In this embodiment, regardless of whether or not the ally character wins in the final confrontation effect among the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect, The time until the final confrontation production starts is the same. Therefore, when the super ready-to-win effect is executed, whether or not the ally character wins in the final confrontation effect out of the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super reach effect is determined until the final confrontation effect is started. Time cannot be inferred. Therefore, the player can be entertained as to whether or not the teammate character will win until the final confrontation effect is completed.

(4) According to this embodiment, in the super ready-to-win production including a plurality of confrontation productions, the combination of the friend character and the enemy character in each of the plurality of confrontation productions constituting the super ready-to-win production is suggested in advance. Therefore, each confrontation production can be more enjoyable.

(5) In this embodiment, during execution of a non-final confrontation effect among the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect, at least the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the confrontation effect next to the confrontation effect is suggested. . Therefore, even in a situation in which the teammate character cannot be expected to win in the confrontation effect being executed, it is possible to make the player interested in the next confrontation effect. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from losing interest in the confrontation effect being executed even in a situation where victory of the teammate character cannot be expected.

(6) In this embodiment, in each of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect, the execution of the confrontation effect by the previously suggested combination of the friend character and the enemy character may be restricted. In such a case, since the player can be surprised, the interest of the player can be improved.

(7) In addition, when execution of a confrontation effect by a previously suggested combination of a friend character and an enemy character is regulated, the friend character wins compared to the previously suggested combination of the friend character and the enemy character. A confrontation presentation with a highly anticipated combination can be executed. As a result, the interest of the player can be further improved.

(8) According to this embodiment, in each of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the super ready-to-win effect, the number of the confrontation effect is suggested, so the teammate character has not won in the super reach effect. The situation can arouse the player's frustration.

(9) According to this embodiment, the super ready-to-win effect configured including a plurality of confrontation effects and the effect execution unit for executing the icon effect are different, so that the plurality of confrontation effects constituting the super ready-to-win effect are generated. and the icon presentation are executed at the same time, the player can easily recognize both presentations. As a result, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize how many times the confrontation effect that is currently being executed constitutes the super ready-to-win effect.

It should be noted that the above embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The above embodiments and the following modified examples can be combined with each other within a technically consistent range.

- In the above-described embodiment, the super ready-to-win effect was exemplified as an example of the specific effect including a plurality of confrontation effects, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the specific production may be a production that suggests the degree of expectation that develops into a super reach production, may be a notice production that suggests the degree of expectation that a jackpot game is given, and an advantage such as a high probability time saving state. It may be an effect that suggests the degree of expectation that a game state is given. That is, the first specific effect may be an effect with a higher degree of expectation for the player to be provided with an advantageous state than the second specific effect.

- In the above-described embodiment, the confrontation effect that constitutes the specific effect may include a plurality of confrontation effects in which the ally character wins over the enemy character. In this case, in the specific effect, the more the confrontation effect in which the ally character wins over the enemy character, the greater the benefit given to the player. For example, in a specific effect, if a teammate character wins against an enemy character in one of the confrontation effects constituting the specific effect, a jackpot game is awarded after the specific effect ends. On the other hand, when a teammate character wins against an enemy character in a plurality of confrontation performances among the confrontation performances constituting the specific performance, a jackpot game that is more advantageous to the player may be awarded after the completion of the specific performance. That is, the first specific effect may be an effect in which the ally character wins over the enemy character in at least one of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect.

- In the above-described embodiment, there may be a plurality of types of enemy characters in the confrontation effect that constitutes the specific effect. In this case, the types of friendly characters in the confrontation presentation may be associated with the types of enemy characters, and there may be enemy characters that are likely to be selected according to the types of friendly characters in the confrontation presentation. In this case, although there are a plurality of types of allied characters and enemy characters, it can be said that a combination of an allied character and an enemy character is suggested by suggesting an allied character.

・Also, when a plurality of types of enemy characters are provided as the types of enemy characters in the confrontation production that constitutes the specific production, the degree of expectation that the friendly characters will win over the enemy characters may differ depending on the combination of the friendly characters and the enemy characters. Depending on the type of enemy character, the degree of expectation that the ally character will win against the enemy character may not change.

- Also, when a plurality of types of enemy characters are provided as types of enemy characters in a confrontation effect that constitutes a specific effect, only one type of ally character may be provided. In this case, an icon image or the like may be used to suggest the type of the enemy character.

- In the above-described embodiment, a battle effect in which a friend character and an enemy character fight is illustrated as an example of a confrontation effect, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the showdown performance may be a performance in which a friend character and an enemy character play basketball or a performance in which they play volleyball. That is, one or both of the ally characters and the enemy characters in the confrontation production may be plural. Also, there may be a plurality of types of confrontation events in the confrontation presentation. In this case, the sub-control CPU 31a may determine the confrontation event in each of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect. Further, in this case, the sub-control CPU 31a may determine the confrontation event in each of the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect by determining the combination pattern.

・Also, when multiple types of confrontation events are provided as confrontation events in the confrontation production, the degree of expectation that a friendly character will win against an enemy character may differ depending on the type of confrontation event. The degree of expectation for victory over the enemy character may be kept unchanged. In addition, when the degree of expectation for a friendly character to win against an enemy character differs depending on the type of confrontation event, even in the same confrontation event, the degree of expectation for the friendly character to win against the enemy character depends on the combination of the friendly character and the enemy character. may be different.

・Also, when a plurality of types of confrontation events are provided as the confrontation events in the confrontation production, the types of the confrontation events may be associated with the types of allied characters in the confrontation production, and selection is likely to be made according to the types of allied characters in the confrontation production. There may be a confrontation event. In this case, it can be said that a confrontation event is also suggested by suggesting an ally character.

- In the above-described embodiment, it may be possible to display a timer image suggesting the remaining performance time of the specific effect as the information capable of specifying the end timing of the specific effect. For example, the timer image may be displayed by one or a plurality of effect display devices arbitrarily selected from among the first effect display device 11a, the second effect display device 11b, and the third effect display device 11c.

In the above-described embodiment, as information that can specify how many confrontation effects are being executed among the confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect, what number of the confrontation effects is being executed among the confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect may be displayed. For example, the number of times image may be an image such as "1/3" that indicates the number of times of the confrontation effects among the confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect and also indicates the maximum number of times of the confrontation effects.

- In the above embodiment, it may be possible to display an icon image indicating the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the first confrontation effect even after the first confrontation effect that constitutes the specific effect ends. For example, the icon image showing the combination of the friend character and the enemy character in the first confrontation effect can be displayed on any one of the first effect display device 11a, the second effect display device 11b, and the third effect display device 11c. Alternatively, it may be possible to display on an effect display device different from these effect display devices.

In the above embodiment, in some or all of the confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect, the same effect time is set regardless of whether or not the friendly character wins the enemy character in the confrontation effect. good too.

・In the above-described embodiment, in the confrontation production that constitutes the specific production, if the combination of the friendly character and the enemy character that is suggested in advance is changed to a different combination, the different combination is not suggested in advance. There may be a "combination". In this case, the special post-change combination may be a winning combination in which the ally character wins (does not lose) the enemy character.

In the above-described embodiment, by suggesting in advance the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the confrontation effect that constitutes the specific effect, the degree of expectation that the ally character will win over the enemy character in the confrontation effect is suggested, but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, a plurality of types of confrontation start images may be provided, and the degree of expectation that the teammate character will win over the enemy character in the confrontation effect may be suggested by the type of the confrontation start image.

- In the above embodiment, the icon effect may be executed by the first effect display device 11a. For example, in the icon effect, an icon image corresponding to the first confrontation effect may be displayed in the image display area GHa of the first effect display device 11a.

- In the above-described embodiment, there may be a plurality of types of reduction amounts of the enemy character's hit points when the ally character does not defeat the enemy character in the confrontation effect. In this case, the amount of reduction in the hit points of the enemy character may differ depending on the combination of the ally character and the enemy character, and even if the combination of the ally character and the enemy character is the same, the amount of reduction in the hit point of the enemy character may be different. can be different. In addition, when a plurality of types of reduction amounts are provided as the amount of reduction in the hit points of the enemy character, the degree of expectation that the friendly character will defeat the enemy character in the subsequent confrontation production is made different depending on the amount of reduction in the hit points of the enemy character. good too.

- In the above embodiment, in the confrontation production, the hit points of the enemy character in the previous confrontation production are inherited, but the hit points of the enemy character in the confrontation production may be independent for each confrontation production. That is, in the plurality of confrontation effects that constitute the specific effect, hit points of dedicated enemy characters may be associated with each of the plurality of confrontation effects.

- In the above embodiment, even if the combination of the ally character and the enemy character in the confrontation effect is the same, the ally character will The degree of expectation of victory over the enemy character may be made different.

- In the above embodiment, the number of confrontation effects that make up the specific effect may be two or four or more.
- The game part may be arranged so as to restrict the entry of the ball into the first start hole 12 when hitting to the right, and when hitting to the right, the first start is higher than when hitting to the left. It may be arranged so that it is difficult for the ball to enter the mouth 12 (to make the probability of the ball entering the mouth extremely low). In addition, the game part may be arranged so as to restrict the entry of the ball into the second starting hole 13, the big winning hole 14, and the operation gate 18 when hitting left, and the right side when hitting left. It may be arranged so that it is difficult for the ball to enter the second starting hole 13, the big winning hole 14, and the operation gate 18 (the probability of entering the ball is extremely low) compared to when the ball is hit.

- In addition to the sub-control board 31, a light emission control board that exclusively controls the decorative lamp La, a sound control board that exclusively controls the speaker Sp, and a display control board that exclusively controls the effect display device may be provided. In addition, such a sub-sub-control board and other effects and boards that control notifications may be included in the sub-control board.
