Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine typified by a pachinko gaming machine.

In conventional gaming machines, a determination is made based on the establishment of a starting condition, and a special game (jackpot game) is performed based on the result of the determination. For example, the determination is made by the game ball entering the start opening (entrance), and as a special game, a round game is performed with the opening of the big winning opening. A large number of prize balls can be obtained by winning the game balls in the big prize opening. The result of the determination is displayed to the player by the pattern display means, which displays the symbols variably and then stop-displays the symbols in a stopped state.

In addition, in the game machine, after the performance symbol indicating the big win is stopped and displayed, a re-lottery performance is performed in which the performance symbol is variably displayed again. For example, in the gaming machine disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, after the end of the ready-to-win effect, the once-stop-displayed jackpot pattern combination is variably displayed again, and then the same jackpot pattern combination or another jackpot pattern combination is derived. A re-lottery performance will be held.

Figure 1 reservation number, special figure 2 reservation number, normal figure reservation number, etc.) are notified to the player.

3. Basic Game Next, the basic game of the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described. The pachinko game machine PY1 can execute a special figure game and a normal figure game using game balls fired by operating the handle 72k.

3-1. Special game Pachinko game machine PY1 acquires the right to receive a jackpot judgment when a game ball enters the first starting hole 11 or a game ball enters the second starting hole 12, and the acquired right Make a jackpot judgment based on. Then, the pachinko game machine PY1 variably displays a special figure according to the result of the big hit determination. The mode of variable display of special figures (also referred to as "variable display time") varies depending on the type of variation pattern described later.

The right to receive the jackpot determination is, for example, a random number value, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs the jackpot determination based on the obtained random number value. The jackpot determination is for determining whether or not to perform a jackpot game. When a jackpot game is performed, the jackpot is won, and when a small hit game is performed, a small hit is won. If you don't do either, you lose.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of the first special figure when the jackpot determination is performed by the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11.例文帳に追加The variable display of the first special figure is, for example, a display in which the two LEDs in the upper left part of the indicators 8 blink. Pachinko game machine PY1, when the variable display time corresponding to the type of variation pattern elapses, performs the stop display of the first special figure in a mode showing the result of the big hit determination. As the mode of the stop display of the first special figure, a mode indicating jackpot winning (for example, two LEDs in the upper left part are lit) and a mode indicating small win winning (for example, only one LED in the upper left part is lit) , and a mode indicating a failure (for example, only the other LED at the upper left is lit).

On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of the second special figure when the jackpot determination is performed by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加The variable display of the second special figure is, for example, a display in which the two lower left LEDs of the indicators 8 blink. When the variable display time corresponding to the type of variation pattern has passed, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs the stop display of the second special figure in a mode showing the result of the big hit determination. As a mode of stop display of the second special figure, a mode indicating jackpot winning (for example, two LEDs at the lower left are lit) and a mode indicating small hit winning (for example, only one LED at the lower left is lit) , and a mode indicating a failure (for example, only the other LED at the lower left is lit).

In addition, when the game ball wins the first start opening 11 during the variable display of the special figure, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs prefetching determination to be described later, and reserves the special figure 1 right to receive the acquired jackpot determination. remember as On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1, when the game ball wins the second start port 12 during the variable display of the special figure, performs pre-reading determination and stores the acquired right to receive the jackpot determination as a special figure 2 reservation. do. Pachinko game machine PY1 can store special figure 1 suspension and special figure 2 suspension up to a predetermined number (for example, 4 special figure 1 suspensions and 4 special figure 2 suspensions). The pachinko game machine PY1 performs jackpot determination for the special figure 1 suspension and the special figure 2 suspension after the special figure is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the special figure 1 reservation and the special figure 2 reservation are stored at the same time, the jackpot judgment for the special figure 2 reservation may be preferentially performed, and the big hit judgment for the special figure 1 reservation It may be performed preferentially, or the jackpot determination may be performed in the order in which it is stored.

The look-ahead determination is to determine in advance whether or not a jackpot game will be performed (whether or not a jackpot will be won in the jackpot determination) before the jackpot determination is performed, and when the jackpot game is performed Pre-reading winning is determined, and pre-reading non-winning is determined when no big winning game is played. In addition, when it is possible to determine a plurality of types of variation patterns, it is possible to perform variation pattern pre-determination for determining in advance the variation pattern to be determined in the pre-reading determination.

The pachinko game machine PY1 informs the player of the number when the special figure 1 reserve or the special figure 2 reserve is stored. The number of special figures 1 reserved, for example, is notified by lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the upper middle part of the display 8, and when the number of special figures 1 reserved is "1", only one LED lights up, special figures When the number of 1 reservations is "2", only two LEDs light up, when the number of special 1 reservations is "3", only one LED blinks, When the number of special 1 reservations is "4", Only two LEDs flash. On the other hand, the number of special figures 2 reserved is notified by, for example, lighting or blinking of two LEDs in the middle and lower part of the display 8, and when the number of special figure 2 reservations is "1", only one LED lights up, When the special figure 2 pending number is "2", only two LEDs light up, when the special figure 2 pending number is "3", only one LED flashes, and the special figure 2 pending number is "4" Sometimes only two LEDs flash.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a jackpot game after stop-displaying the first special symbol or the second special symbol in a manner indicating winning of the jackpot. The jackpot game, which will be described later in detail, is a game in which a round game in which the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 is opened is performed a plurality of times (for example, 10 times). The jackpot game is an advantageous game for the player because the opening of the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 gives an opportunity to win a game ball (opportunity to win a prize ball). Incidentally, the jackpot game ends when all of the round games are played a plurality of times.

On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 performs a small winning game after stop-displaying the first special figure or the second special figure in a manner indicating winning of the small winning. Although details will be described later, the small winning game is a game in which the first big winning opening 14 or the second big winning opening 15 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). The small winning game is an advantageous game for the player because the opening of the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 gives an opportunity to win a game ball (opportunity to win a prize ball).

3-2. When a game ball passes through the gate 13, the general-purpose game pachinko game machine PY1 acquires the right to receive the hit determination, and performs the hit determination based on the acquired right. Then, the pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of a normal figure according to the result of the hit determination.

The hit determination is for determining whether or not to perform the auxiliary game, and if the auxiliary game is performed, it is hit and won, and if the auxiliary game is not performed, it is lost.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a variable display of a normal figure when a winning judgment is made by winning a game ball to the gate 13.例文帳に追加The normal variable display is a display in which a plurality of LEDs in the upper right portion of the display devices 8 blink. The pachinko game machine PY1, when a predetermined time has passed since the start of the variable display of the normal pattern, performs stop display of the normal pattern in a mode showing the result of the hit determination. As a mode of the stop display of the normal figure, there are a mode indicating winning (for example, all LEDs are lit) and a mode indicating losing (eg, only one LED is lit).

In addition, when the game ball wins the gate 13 during the variable display of the normal pattern, the pachinko game machine PY1 stores the acquired right to receive the hit determination as a normal pattern reservation. The pachinko game machine PY1 can store up to a predetermined number (for example, 2) of normal pattern suspensions. The pachinko game machine PY1 performs hit determination for the normal pattern hold after the normal pattern is stopped.

The pachinko game machine PY1 informs the player of the number when the normal pattern hold is stored. The number of normal figure reservations is notified by the lighting of multiple LEDs in the lower right part of the display device 8. For example, when the number of normal figure reservations is "1", only one LED lights up, and the number of normal figure reservations is " 2", only two LEDs are illuminated.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs an auxiliary game after stop-displaying a normal figure in a mode indicating winning. The auxiliary game, which will be described later in detail, is a game in which the second starting port 12 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 3.5 seconds). In the auxiliary game, the opening of the second start port 12 gives an opportunity to win a game ball to the second start port 12 (opportunity to win a prize ball, an opportunity to acquire the right to receive a jackpot determination). It is a game that is advantageous for people.

4. Game State Next, the game state of the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(A). FIG. 3A is a diagram showing game states that the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can take. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, as shown in FIG. Base gaming state” (also called “time-saving gaming state”), “high-probability low-base gaming state” (also called “latency-probability gaming state”), and “high-probability high-base gaming state” (also called “probability variable gaming state” It is possible to make it possible to take any one or a plurality of game states among the four types of game states.

"Low probability low base game state" is a game state in the initial state of the pachinko game machine PY1. The pachinko game machine PY1 can initialize the game state by operating an initialization switch (also referred to as a “RAM clear switch”) (not shown) provided on the back surface of the front door 23 .

The "low-probability high-base game state" is a game state that can be taken after the jackpot game state, and continues until a predetermined time-saving end condition is satisfied. The predetermined time-saving end conditions include that a jackpot game is performed, and that the number of times of variable display of special symbols reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 200 times).

In addition, the "low-probability high-base game state" may also occur when a specific loss occurs in the jackpot determination in the "low-probability low-base game state". The specific loss includes a specific number of times (for example, 900 times) when all the jackpot judgments are lost, and a specific ratio (for example, 1/200) of the losses in the jackpot judgment. ) is included. The pachinko game machine PY1 is set to a "low-probability high-base game state" after the end of the variable display of the special figure that has caused a specific loss (after the special figure is stopped and displayed). The "low-probability high-base game state" in this case also continues until a predetermined time-saving end condition is established, similarly to the case where the "low-probability high-base game state" is entered after the jackpot game state.

The "high-probability low-base game state" is a game state that can occur after the jackpot game state, and continues until a predetermined latent probability end condition is established. The predetermined latent probability end conditions include that a jackpot game is performed and that the number of variable displays of special symbols reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 200 times). It should be noted that the "high probability low base game state" may be entered by passing the game ball through a specific area provided inside the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 during the jackpot game. good.

"High probability high base game state" is a game state that can be taken after the jackpot game state, and continues until a predetermined variable probability end condition is satisfied. The predetermined variable probability end conditions include that a jackpot game is performed, and that the number of variable displays of special symbols reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). It should be noted that even if the game ball passes through a specific area provided inside the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 during the jackpot game, the "high probability high base game state" is entered. good.

"Low-probability low-base gaming state" and "low-probability high-base gaming state" belong to a normal probability state in which the probability of winning a jackpot in the jackpot determination is normal (for example, 1/300), and "high-probability low-base gaming state” and “high probability high base game state” belong to a high probability state in which the probability of winning a jackpot in the jackpot judgment is higher than the normal probability (for example, 1/30). Therefore, the "high-probability low base gaming state" and the "high-probability high-base gaming state" are more advantageous to the player than the "low-probability low-base gaming state" and the "low-probability high-base gaming state" in terms of the odds of winning a jackpot. It can be said that it is in a game state.

In addition, the "low-probability low-base game state" and "high-probability low-base game state" are states in which the game ball does not win or is difficult to win in the second start port 12 It belongs to a non-time-saving state such as a difficult state or a state in which the opening time of the second start port 12 is relatively short), and the “low probability high base game state” and “high probability high base game state” are in the second start port 12. It belongs to a time-saving state in which a game ball is likely to win (for example, a state in which winning is likely to be won in a hit determination, or a state in which the opening time of the second start port 12 is relatively long). Therefore, regarding the second starting port 12 (regarding the ease of winning the game ball to the second starting port 12), the "low probability high base gaming state" and the "high probability high base gaming state" are the same as the "low probability low base It can be said that the game state is more advantageous to the player than the "game state" and the "high probability low base game state".

In addition, since the non-time saving state is a state where the game ball does not win or is difficult to win in the second start port 12, the "low probability low base game state" and "high probability low base game state" are the second start port While it can be said that it is a gaming state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the first start port 11 than 12, the time saving state is a state in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start port 12. state” and “high probability high base game state” can be said to be game states in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second start port 12 than the first start port 11.

Also, the pachinko machine PY1 can change the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state and the high probability state by operating a setting change switch (not shown) provided on the back surface of the front door 23 . The setting change switch is, for example, a DIP switch that can be switched between three stages: upper stage, middle stage, and lower stage. The setting change switch on the upper stage is called "setting 1", the setting change switch on the middle stage is called "setting 2", and the setting change switch on the lower stage is called "setting 3". "Setting 1" means that the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is the first probability (eg 1/300) and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is the second probability (eg 1/30). In addition, "setting 2" is a third probability (for example, 1/280) that the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is higher than the first probability, and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is higher than the second probability. A high fourth probability (eg 1/28). In addition, "setting 3" is a fifth probability (for example, 1/260) that the jackpot winning probability in the normal probability state is higher than the third probability, and the jackpot winning probability in the high probability state is higher than the fourth probability. A high sixth probability (eg 1/26). It should be noted that the probability of winning the jackpot can be appropriately changed within the range of "setting 1"<"setting 2"<"setting 3".

5. Jackpot Game Next, the jackpot game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3(B) and 4(A). Pachinko game machine PY1, as shown in FIG. 3B, any one of the four types of jackpot games of "jackpot game Wα", "jackpot game Xα", "jackpot game Yα" and "jackpot game Zα" It is possible to play one type or multiple types of jackpot games.

The “jackpot game Wα” is a jackpot game that becomes a “high-probability, high-base game state” after that, and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Wα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

The "jackpot game Xα" is a jackpot game that subsequently becomes a "low-probability high-base game state", and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Xα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

The "jackpot game Yα" is a jackpot game in which the "high-probability low-base game state" is entered thereafter, and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Yα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

The "jackpot game Zα" is a jackpot game in which the "low-probability low-base game state" is entered thereafter, and continues until α-number of round games are completed. α is an integer of 2 to 10, and the pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens either the first big winning hole 14 or the second big winning hole 15 in one round game. That is, in the "jackpot game Zα", the round game is performed any number of times from 2 times to 10 times according to α.

In the "jackpot game Wα", "jackpot game Xα", "jackpot game Yα" and "jackpot game Zα", only the first big winning port 14 may be opened for all round games. However, only the second big prize winning port 15 may be opened for all round games, or the first big prize winning port 14 may be opened for some round games and the rest of the round games may be opened. , the second big winning opening 15 may be opened. Opportunities for winning game balls (opportunities for prize balls) are provided in both the round game in which the first big winning hole 14 is opened and the round game in which the second big winning hole 15 is opened. Therefore, it is an advantageous game for the player.

"Jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Yα" belong to the so-called probability variable jackpot game in which the game state becomes a high probability state, and "jackpot game Xα" and "jackpot game Zα" belong to the so-called game state in which the game state becomes a normal probability state. It usually belongs to jackpot games. Therefore, "jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Yα" can be said to be jackpot games that are more advantageous to the player than "jackpot game Xα" and "jackpot game Zα" in terms of subsequent jackpot winning probability. Wα' and 'jackpot game Yα' are performed in the jackpot game state, which is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which either ``jackpot game Xα'' and ``jackpot game Zα'' are performed. I can say.

In addition, "jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Xα" belong to a so-called jackpot game with an electric sapo in which the game state is in a time-saving state, and "jackpot game Yα" and "jackpot game Zα" are in a non-time-saving state. It belongs to the so-called electric sapo no jackpot game. Therefore, "jackpot game Wα" and "jackpot game Xα" relate to the second start port 12 after that (regarding the ease of winning the game ball to the second start port 12), "jackpot game Yα" and " It can be said that the jackpot game is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game Zα, and the jackpot game state in which either the jackpot game Wα or the jackpot game Xα can be said to be a game state more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game state in which any one of the above is performed.

Here, the flow of the jackpot game will be described. FIG. 4A is a time chart showing the flow of the jackpot game. Here, a big winning game in which only the first big winning hole 14 is opened is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 4(A), when the jackpot game starts after the stop display of the special figure, the jackpot opening (also referred to as "jackpot OP") is set first. The jackpot OP continues until a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses, and when the jackpot OP ends, the first round of the game is started. The round game continues until a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls enter the first big winning hole 14 . When the round game of the first round ends, an interval between rounds (also referred to as "round IT") is set. The round IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and when the round IT ends, the second round of the game is started. Then, when the final round game (for example, the tenth round game) is completed, a jackpot ending (also referred to as “jackpot ED”) is set. The jackpot ED continues until a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses, and one jackpot game ends when the jackpot ED ends. Either one or both of the jackpot OP and jackpot ED may not be set.

6. Small Winning Game Next, the small winning game performed by the pachinko gaming machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3(B) and 4(B). As shown in FIG. 3B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is capable of playing a small winning game as a game different from the big winning game. Unlike the big winning game, the small winning game is a game in which the game state is not changed after that. For example, when a small winning game is performed in the "low probability low base gaming state", the "low probability low base gaming state" continues even after the small winning game. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 opens one of the first big winning hole 14 and the second big winning hole 15 in the small winning game.

FIG. 4B is a time chart showing the flow of the small winning game. Here, a small winning game in which only the first big winning hole 14 is opened is exemplified. As shown in FIG. 4(B), after the stop display of the special figure, when the small winning game starts, a pre-opening interval (also referred to as "pre-opening IT") is first set. The pre-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and when the pre-opening IT ends, the first big winning hole 14 is opened. The opening of the first big winning hole 14 continues until a predetermined time (eg 5 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (eg 10) of game balls win the first big winning hole 14 . When the opening of the first big winning hole 14 is completed, an interval after opening (also referred to as "IT after opening") is set. The post-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and one small winning game ends when the post-opening IT ends. Either one or both of the pre-opening IT and the post-opening IT may not be set. Further, in consideration of the playability of the pachinko game machine PY1, the small winning game may not be performed.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 can perform an auxiliary game as a game different from the big winning game and the small winning game. The auxiliary game is a game in which the second starting port 12 is opened, unlike the jackpot game and the small hit game. In the auxiliary game, the opening time of the second start port 12 changes according to the game state, for example, when the auxiliary game is performed in a non-time saving state, the first opening time (for example, 0.1 seconds) While the second starting port 12 is opened, when the auxiliary game is performed in the time saving state, the second starting port 12 is opened for a second opening time (for example, 3.5 seconds) longer than the first opening time. .

FIG. 4(C) is a time chart showing the flow of the auxiliary game. As shown in FIG. 4(C), when the auxiliary game starts after the stop display of the normal figure, the second starting port 12 is opened. The opening of the second starting port 12 is until a predetermined time (first open time if non-time saving state, second open time if time saving state) passes, or a predetermined number (for example, four) It continues until the game ball wins the second starting port 12.例文帳に追加When the opening of the second starting port 12 is completed, an interval after opening (also referred to as "IT after opening") is set. The post-opening IT continues until a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) elapses, and one auxiliary game ends when the post-opening IT ends.

8. Effect Next, the effect performed by the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12. FIG. The pachinko game machine PY1 can set different performance modes according to the game state. The pachinko machine PY1 has various production devices (normal button 40, special button 41, image display device 50, speaker 52, frame lamp 53, board lamp 54, board movable body, etc.) in each production mode. 55k, frame movable body 58k, etc.), it is possible to perform the effects shown below.

8-1. Production Mode First, the production mode will be described with reference to FIG. The production mode is a division of production (or a higher-level attribute). The pachinko game machine PY1 can set, as production modes, a customer waiting production mode, a normal production mode, a probability variable production mode, a time saving production mode and a jackpot production mode.

In the customer waiting production mode, the special figure is stopped in the "low probability low base game state", "low probability high base game state", "high probability low base game state" and "high probability high base game state". It is a production mode that may be set when it is set (when the variable display of special figures is not performed). In the customer waiting effect mode, the player is suggested to be in a state of waiting for variable display of special symbols. The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform a customer waiting effect while the customer waiting effect mode is being set. The customer waiting effect is, as shown in FIG. 5A-1, a effect in which a customer waiting demonstration video G100 introducing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 is displayed on the display section 50a.

Settings related to effects include setting the volume of sound output from the speaker 52, setting the brightness of the display unit 50a (also referred to as "light amount setting"), setting the frequency of effects to be executed (also referred to as "effect setting"), and the like.

The normal production mode is a production mode that may be set over one or more variable displays of special symbols in the "low-probability low-base game state" or "high-probability low-base game state". In the normal production mode, the player is suggested to be in a non-time-saving state. In the normal effect mode, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays, for example, a normal background image G102 representing a mountain scenery on the display section 50a, as shown in FIG. 5B-1. The background displayed in the normal effect mode is not limited to the normal background image G102, and multiple types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or at random.

The probability variable production mode is a production mode that may be set over one or more variable displays of special symbols in the "high probability high base game state". In the variable probability performance mode, the player is suggested to be in a high probability state and a time saving state. In the variable probability effect mode, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays, for example, a variable probability background image G103 representing the universe on the display unit 50a, as shown in FIG. 5(B-2). The background displayed in the variable probability effect mode is not limited to the variable probability background image G103, and multiple types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or at random.

The time reduction production mode is a production mode that may be set over one or more variable displays of special symbols in the "low probability high base game state". In the time-saving performance mode, the player is suggested to be in a normal probability state and a time-saving state. The pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays, for example, a time-saving background image G104 representing the sky on the display unit 50a in the time-saving effect mode, as shown in FIG. 5(B-3). The background displayed in the time saving effect mode is not limited to the time saving background image G104, and multiple types of backgrounds may be displayed in order or at random.

The jackpot production mode is a production mode set in the jackpot gaming state. In the jackpot performance mode, the player is suggested that the jackpot game is being executed. Pachinko gaming machine PY1, in the jackpot production mode, when the jackpot game starts, as shown in FIG. The image G108 and the like are displayed on the display section 50a. The display of these images is called "opening effect".

Further, in the jackpot effect mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays a round image G109 indicating the number of rounds on the display unit 50a during the round game, as shown in FIG. If the probability state is reached, a promotion image G110 suggesting that the state will be a high probability state is displayed on the display unit 50a. Note that the display of these images is referred to as "round effect".

Further, in the jackpot performance mode, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays an ending image G111 suggesting a performance mode set after the jackpot performance mode, as shown in FIG. The display unit 50a displays a total number of awarded balls image G112 or the like indicating the total number of awarded balls. The display of these images is called "ending effect".

In the basic embodiment, five types of production modes are set: a customer waiting production mode, a normal production mode, a variable probability production mode, a short production time production mode and a jackpot production mode. may be changed or added.

8-2. Special figure fluctuation production Next, the special figure fluctuation production (also referred to as "variation production") will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. FIG. The special figure fluctuation production is a production for suggesting the result of the jackpot determination. When the variable display of the special figure is started, the pachinko game machine PY1 executes the special figure variation performance using the performance symbols in parallel with the variable display of the special figure. As shown in FIG. 6(A), the performance design is composed of a left performance design EZ1, a middle performance design EZ2 and a right performance design EZ3.

The pachinko game machine PY1 variably displays performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 on the background (normal background image G102, probability variable background image G103, time reduction background image G104) in the special figure variation performance. It should be noted that "↓" in the figure indicates that the performance symbols are being displayed in a variable manner. The production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are, for example, composed of numerical patterns of "1" to "9", respectively. EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 fluctuate, and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 stop with the stop display of the special figure. Then, the result of the big hit determination is suggested by the mode of stop display of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

8-2-1. Normal variation The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform normal variation first in the special figure variation effect. The normal variation is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed, and functions as an effect suggesting that the variable display of special symbols has started.

Then, when the pachinko game machine PY1 makes a loss without generating a reach after the normal fluctuation, as shown in FIG. After stopping, as shown in 6(D), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a mode suggesting a failure (so-called split eyes). A mode suggesting a failure is a mode in which the left and right performance symbols are not the same, such as "1, 1, 2" and "2, 4, 6". On the other hand, when the pachinko game machine PY1 generates reach after the normal fluctuation, as shown in FIG. Stop display and establish a reach. The stop order of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 can be changed as appropriate.

8-2-2. The N-reach pachinko game machine PY1 can perform N-reach after establishment of the reach. The N-reach is, for example, a ready-to-win effect in which the fluctuation speed of the middle effect symbol EZ2 is gradually reduced, and functions as an effect to suggest that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be performed.

The pachinko game machine PY1 gradually decelerates the variation speed of the middle effect symbol EZ2 in the N reach, as shown in FIG. 7(A). Then, when the pachinko game machine PY1 loses at N reach, as shown in FIG. , EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped. A mode suggesting reach-losing is a mode in which the left and right performance symbols are the same and the middle symbols are different from the left and right performance symbols, such as "7, 6, 7" and "5, 3, 5". On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1 does not stop the middle effect symbol EZ2 when developing into SP reach after N reach. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change the content of the N-reach effect.

8-2-3. SP reach The pachinko game machine PY1 can perform SP reach after N reach. SP ready-to-win is, for example, a ready-to-win effect in which a battle between the main character and the enemy character is displayed, and functions as an effect to suggest that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

In the SP reach, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays an SP title image G1 representing the start of the SP reach on the display section 50a, as shown in FIG. 8(A). The SP title image G1 is also a character image, for example, "Destroy the enemy A!". Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8B, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 displays a main character image G200 representing the main character and an enemy character image G201 representing the enemy character on the display unit 50a. A moving image of a battle with a character is displayed on the display section 50a. Then, when the final phase of the battle is reached, the pachinko machine PY1 causes the main character to enter the battle in a manner suggesting a big win, as shown in FIG. A state of being delighted with the victory is displayed, and performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big win (so-called double eyes). Further, when the pachinko machine PY1 determines that the SP reach is a loss, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a mode suggesting reach-losing. On the other hand, the pachinko game machine PY1 does not stop the middle effect symbol EZ2 when developing into SPSP reach after this SP reach. It should be noted that it is possible to appropriately change the contents of the effect of the SP reach.

8-2-4. SPSP Reach Pachinko game machine PY1 is capable of performing SPSP Reach after SP Reach. The SPSP ready-to-win is, for example, a ready-to-win effect in which a battle between a main character and a formidable enemy character is displayed, and functions as an effect to suggest that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

In the SPSP reach, the pachinko game machine PY1 displays an SPSP title image G2 representing the start of the SPSP reach on the display section 50a, as shown in FIG. 9(A). The SPSP title image G2 is, for example, a text image of "Destroy enemy B!". Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9B, the pachinko machine PY1 displays a main character image G200 representing the main character and a strong enemy character image G202 representing the strong enemy character on the display unit 50a. A moving image of a battle with a character is displayed on the display section 50a. When the final phase of the battle is reached, the pachinko machine PY1 causes the main character to enter the battle in a manner suggesting a big win, as shown in FIG. A state of being delighted with the victory is displayed, and performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a mode suggesting a big win (so-called double eyes). On the other hand, when the pachinko machine PY1 determines that the SPSP reach is lost, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stop-displayed in a mode suggesting reach-losing. It should be noted that the contents of the SPSP ready-to-win effect can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the possibility that the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 will stop in a mode indicating a big win (also called "big win expectation") will be explained. The degree of jackpot expectation is determined by the execution probability based on the result of jackpot determination. For example, when the execution probability of N reach is set to 10% when the result of jackpot determination is a loss, and set to 100% when the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, the execution probability of SP reach is set to 4% when the result of the jackpot determination is a loss, and is set to 100% when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot winning. can be higher than

Further, for example, when the execution probability of SP reach is set to 4% when the result of jackpot determination is a loss, and set to 100% when the result of jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, SPSP reach is performed. When the execution probability is set to 2% when the result of the judgment of the big win is a loss, and is set to 100% when the result of the judgment of the big win is the winning of the jackpot, the degree of expectation of the big win against the SP reach is set to the big win against the SP reach. Expectations can be higher. In this way, by presetting the execution probability according to the result of the big win determination for the executable effect, it is possible to determine the degree of expectation for the big win for that effect.

8-3. Suspension Icon and the Icon The pachinko gaming machine PY1 can display the suspension icon HA on the display section 50a while the special figure 1 suspension or the special figure 2 suspension is being stored.

The pachinko game machine PY1 performs a look-ahead effect in response to storing special figure 1 suspension or special figure 2 suspension. Here, the look-ahead effect for the special figure 1 hold is exemplified. When the game ball enters the first start port 11, the pachinko game machine PY1 stores the special figure 1 reservation, based on the result of the prefetch determination for the special figure 1 reservation, as shown in FIG. 10 (C) In the pending icon display area 50d, an icon image of "*" is displayed as the pending icon HA instead of the icon image of "o" which is normally displayed. It should be noted that the contents of the prefetch effect can be changed as appropriate.

9. Internal Configuration Next, the internal configuration of the pachinko game machine PY1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. FIG. FIG. 13 is a block diagram of a portion related to control of the pachinko game machine PY1. As shown in FIG. 13, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 comprises a main control unit 100 that controls games, and an effect control unit 120 that executes effects. The main control unit 100 and the production control unit 120 are electrically connected, and the production control unit 120 mainly executes production according to instructions from the main control unit 100 .

9-1. Main Control Unit The main control unit 100 includes a game control microcomputer 101 . The game control microcomputer 101 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and mainly controls various games (special game, normal game, game state, prize ball payout, etc.). The game control microcomputer 101 also includes a game input section 101a, a game output section 101b, and a game storage section 101c. The game input unit 101a is a winning device provided on the game board 1 (first starting port 11, second starting port 12, gate 13, first big winning port 14, second big winning port 15, general winning port 10, etc.) Winning information of game balls, operation information of initialization switch, operation information of setting change switch, etc. are inputted. The game output unit 101b outputs performance data and performance commands generated in accordance with game control to the performance control unit 120 and the outside of the pachinko game machine PY1. The game storage unit 101c is composed of, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory), and includes a table for selecting game content and game data generated according to game control (special figure 1 reserved , Special figure 2 hold, general figure hold, etc.) etc. are stored.

Various games are mainly controlled based on winning information and operation information input by the game input unit 101a. The game control microcomputer 101 controls various games using tables and game data stored in the game storage unit 101c.

9-2. The table game control microcomputer 101 can make various selections in controlling the game. The table stored in the game storage unit 101c is referred to when making the selection. The table shown below is stored in the game storage unit 101c.

9-2-1. Fluctuation Pattern Judgment Table A fluctuation pattern judgment table 103a1 shown in FIG. 14 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The variation pattern determination table 103a1 is a table referred to when selecting the type of variation pattern. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of variation pattern with reference to the variation pattern determination table 103a1 when performing variable display of the first special figure or the second special figure based on the result of the big hit determination.

The game control microcomputer 101, as shown in FIG. 14, selects the type of variation pattern based on the game state, the type of starting port, the result of jackpot determination, the result of reach determination, the number of reserved special figures, and the like. The reach determination is to determine whether or not the above-mentioned reach performance (N reach, SP reach, SPSP reach) is performed during the variable display of the special figure, and if the reach performance is performed, it is determined that there is a reach. , When the reach performance is not performed, it is assumed that there is no reach. The game control microcomputer 101 can select any one of seven types of variation patterns, "THP001" to "THP002", "THP011" to "THP013" and "THP021" to "THP022", as variation patterns. It is possible. The game control microcomputer 101 performs variable display of the first special figure or the second special figure in a variable display mode (variable display time) according to the selected variation pattern. Note that the type of variation pattern can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the role of each variation pattern will be explained. As described above, during the variable display of the special figure, special figure variation production is performed. In the special figure fluctuation production, the production flow composed of one or more productions is executed, but each variation pattern is associated with the special figure variable display time and the production flow executed in the special figure fluctuation production. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, "THP001" and "THP011" have a special figure variable display time of 120000 ms, and "normal fluctuation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach" → " "THP002" and "THP012" are associated with the production flow composed of "SPSP Reach", and "THP002" and "THP012" have a special figure variable display time of 100000 ms and are "normal fluctuation" → "reach" → "N reach" → " "SP Reach" is associated with the production flow composed of "SP Reach", and "THP013" has a special figure variable display time of 20000 ms, and is composed of "Normal Variation" → "Reach" → "N Reach". , and "THP021" and "THP022" are associated with an effect flow that is 13000 ms or 2000 ms for the variable display of the special figure and consists only of "normal fluctuation". Thus, according to the type of variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the time of the special figure variation effect and the effect executed in the special figure variation effect are varied.

"THP001" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, and the end of the effect flow is "SPSP reach", so "THP001" is called "SPSP jackpot variation". Also, "THP002" is selected when the result of the jackpot determination is a jackpot winning, and the end of the effect flow is "SP reach", so "THP002" is called "SP jackpot variation". Also, "THP011" is selected when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, and since the end of the effect flow is "SPSP reach", "THP011" is called "SPSP loss variation". Also, "THP012" is selected when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, and since the end of the effect flow is "SP reach", "THP012" is called "SP loss variation". Also, "THP013" is selected when the result of the big hit determination is a loss, and the end of the effect flow is "N reach", so "THP013" is called "N loss variation". In addition, "THP021" and "THP022" are selected when the result of the jackpot judgment is a loss, and the end of the effect flow is "normal variation", so "THP021" and "THP022" are called "normal loss variation". . It should be noted that the selection ratio of the variation pattern can be appropriately set in consideration of the game characteristics of the pachinko game machine PY1.

9-2-2. Prefetch Determination Table A prefetch determination table 103b1 shown in FIG. 15 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The prefetch determination table 103b1 is a table that is referred to when selecting the type of prefetch pattern. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of prefetch pattern by referring to the prefetch determination table 103b1 when the right to receive the jackpot determination is acquired. The diagram shown in FIG. 15 is the prefetch determination table 103b1.

The game control microcomputer 101, as shown in FIG. 15, selects the type of prefetch pattern based on the game state, the type of starting port, the result of prefetch determination, and the like. The game control microcomputer 101 can select any one of three types of prefetch patterns, "SHP001" to "SHP003", as the prefetch pattern. Note that the types of look-ahead patterns can be changed as appropriate.

Since "SHP001" is selected when the result of the prefetch determination is prefetch winning, "SHP001" is called a "jackpot prefetch pattern". In addition, "SHP002" is selected when the result of the prefetch judgment is not prefetched, and the result of the fluctuation pattern prejudgment is a fluctuation pattern with reach ("THP011" to "THP013"), so "SHP002" is selected. It is called "read-ahead pattern of reach-losing". In addition, "SHP003" is selected when the result of the prefetch judgment is not prefetched, and the result of the fluctuation pattern prejudgment is a fluctuation pattern without reach ("THP021" to "THP022"), so "SHP003" is selected. It is called "normal failing look-ahead pattern".

9-2-3. Symbol Judgment Table A symbol judgment table 103c1 shown in FIG. 16 is stored in the game storage unit 101c. The symbol determination table 103c1 is a table referred to when selecting the type of stop symbol of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The game control microcomputer 101 refers to the symbol determination table 103c1 and selects the types of stop symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol when the big hit determination is performed. The diagram shown in FIG. 16 is the symbol determination table 103c1.

The game control microcomputer 101, as shown in FIG. 16, selects the types of stop symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol based on the type of starting port, the result of big hit determination, and the like. The game control microcomputer 101 selects, as types of stop symbols, "jackpot Wα symbol", "jackpot Xα symbol", "jackpot Yα symbol", "jackpot Zα symbol", "minor win symbol", "Loss A symbol", " It is possible to select any one of 7 types of stop symbols of "losing B symbol". The game control microcomputer 101 performs stop display of the first special figure or the second special figure in a manner corresponding to the selected stop symbol. It should be noted that the types of stop symbols can be changed as appropriate.

Here, the role of each stop symbol will be described. As mentioned above, after the stop display of the special figure, when a big hit game is performed, when a small hit game is performed, when it becomes a time saving state, and when it becomes a loss without doing anything . There are four types of jackpot games ("jackpot game Wα", "jackpot game Xα", "jackpot game Yα", and "jackpot game Zα"), one type of small win game, and two types of loss. Each stop symbol is associated with the type of jackpot game, the type of small-hit game, and the type of loss (the above-mentioned specific loss, mere loss). For example, as shown in FIG. 16, "jackpot Wα symbol" is associated with "jackpot game Wα", "jackpot Xα symbol" is associated with "jackpot game Xα", and "jackpot Yα symbol" is associated with "jackpot game Yα”, the “jackpot Zα pattern” is associated with the “jackpot game Zα”, the “small prize pattern” is associated with the small prize game, and the “losing A pattern” is a mere loss in which nothing is done. , and the “losing B pattern” is associated with the time saving state. Thus, according to the type of stop symbol selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the type of big winning game to be executed, the type of small winning game, and the type of loss (whether or not the time saving state is set) are varied. .

Since the ``jackpot Wα pattern'' and ``jackpot Yα pattern'' are selected when a jackpot game in a high probability state is performed after that, the ``jackpot Wα pattern'' and the ``jackpot Yα pattern'' are referred to as ``variable patterns''. There is In addition, since the "jackpot Xα pattern" and the "jackpot Zα pattern" are determined when the jackpot game in the normal probability state is performed thereafter, the "jackpot Xα pattern" and the "jackpot Zα pattern" are changed to the "normal pattern". That's what it means. In addition, since the "losing A symbol" is determined in the case of a mere loss in which nothing is performed after that, the "losing A symbol" may be referred to as a "normal losing symbol". In addition, since the "losing B pattern" is determined in the case of a specific failing that becomes a time saving state after that, the "losing B pattern" may be referred to as a "losing time saving pattern". It should be noted that the selection ratio of the stop symbols can be appropriately set in consideration of the playability of the pachinko gaming machine PY1.

<First embodiment>
The first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 17 to 31. FIG. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko game machine PY1 of the basic embodiment described above is also applied to the first embodiment.

First, the stop symbols selectable by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, the game storage unit 101c of the game control microcomputer 101 stores a symbol A determination table 103c2. The game control microcomputer 101 can select stop symbols of the first special symbol and the second special symbol using the symbol A determination table 103c2.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the contents of the symbol A determination table 103c2. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of stop symbol based on the type of starting port and the result of the jackpot determination. As the types of stop symbols, as shown in FIG. 18, there are five types of stop symbols: "big win W4 symbol", "big win X4 symbol", "big win W10 symbol", "big win X10 symbol", and "losing A symbol". .

Specifically, when the target start port (the start port into which the game ball enters) is the first start port 11, if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning", the "jackpot W4 pattern" is 80. %, the "big hit X4 pattern" is selected at a rate of 20%, and if the result of the big hit determination is "losing", the "losing A pattern" is selected at a rate of 100%.

Also, if the target starting port (the starting port where the game ball enters) is the second starting port 12, if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning", the "jackpot W10 pattern" is 80%, " The "big hit X10 pattern" is selected at a rate of 20%, and if the result of the big hit determination is "losing", the "losing A pattern" is selected at a rate of 100%.

In the first embodiment, the symbol A determination table 103c2 shown in FIG. 18 is used, but the symbol A determination table 103c2 and the symbol determination table 103c1 shown in FIG. 16 may be used together.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the probability that the result of the jackpot determination is "win jackpot" is set to "1/300" in both the first start port 11 and the second start port 12, but the probability of "win jackpot" is set. The probability can be changed as appropriate.

Also, in the first embodiment, the upper limit of the number of special figures 1 reserved is set to "4", and the upper limit of the number of special figures 2 reserved is set to "4", but each upper limit is changed as appropriate. can be

Next, game states that can be controlled by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. The game control microcomputer 101 can control different types of game states according to the type of stop symbol selected by the symbol A determination table 103c2. As types of game states, in addition to the "low-probability low-base game state" controlled in the initial state (when the power is turned on), there are a "low-probability high-base game state" and a "high-probability high-base game state" (Fig. 18).

When the "big win W4 symbol" is selected by the symbol A determination table 103c2, the game is controlled to the "high probability high base game state" after the big win game state in which the "big win game W4" is executed. This "high probability high base game state" continues until the next jackpot game is played.

Further, when the "big win X4 symbol" is selected by the symbol A determination table 103c2, the game is controlled to the "low probability high base game state" after the big win game state in which the "big win game X4" is executed. This "low probability high base gaming state" continues until the number of times of variable display of special symbols reaches the upper limit number of 200 times. In addition, if the next jackpot game is executed before the number of variable display of the special figure reaches the upper limit, even before the number of variable display of the special figure reaches the upper limit, "low probability high "Base game state" ends.

Further, when the "big win W10 symbol" is selected by the symbol A determination table 103c2, the game is controlled to the "high probability high base game state" after the big win game state in which the "big win game W10" is executed. This "high probability high base game state" continues until the next jackpot game is played.

Further, when the "big win X10 symbol" is selected by the symbol A determination table 103c2, the game is controlled to the "low probability high base game state" after the big win game state in which the "big win game X10" is executed. This "low probability high base gaming state" continues until the number of times of variable display of special symbols reaches the upper limit number of 200 times. In addition, if the next jackpot game is executed before the number of variable display of the special figure reaches the upper limit, even before the number of variable display of the special figure reaches the upper limit, "low probability high "Base game state" ends.

Therefore, the "jackpot game W4" or "jackpot game W10" controlled to the "high probability high base game state" after that is the "jackpot game X4" or "jackpot game X4" controlled to the "low probability high base game state". It can be said that the jackpot game is more advantageous to the player than the jackpot game X10. It should be noted that the upper limit number of times of the "low probability high base game state" can be changed as appropriate.

Next, with reference to FIG. 19, variation patterns selectable by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. In the game storage unit 101c of the game control microcomputer 101, as shown in FIG. 17, a variation pattern A determination table 103a2 is stored.

The game control microcomputer 101 can select the variation pattern of the first special figure using the variation pattern A determination table 103a2 when the game state is the "low probability low base game state".

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing the contents of the variation pattern A determination table 103a2. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of variation pattern of the first special figure based on the result of the jackpot determination, the type of stop symbol, the result of the reach determination, and the number of special figure reservations. As the types of variation patterns of the first special figure, as shown in FIG. 19, there are six types of variation patterns of "THP002A1", "THP002A2", "THP012A", "THP013A", "THP021A", and "THP022A". The game control microcomputer 101 selects the variation pattern of the first special figure at the selection ratio shown in FIG.

Specifically, when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning" and the type of stop symbol is "jackpot W4 symbol", regardless of the result of reach determination and the number of reserved special symbols, "THP002A1" One type of first special figure variation pattern is selected. In addition, the variable display time of the special figure when "THP002A1" is selected is 120000 ms, and "THP002A1" is referred to as "SP/successful jackpot variation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning" and the type of stop symbol is "jackpot X4 symbol", regardless of the reach determination result and the number of special symbols pending, "THP002A2" type 1 The variation pattern of the first special figure is selected. In addition, the variable display time of the special figure when "THP002A2" is selected is 120000 ms, and "THP002A2" is referred to as "SP/failure jackpot variation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing" and the result of the reach determination is "with reach", regardless of the number of special figures pending, the first two types of "THP012A" and "THP013A" Any one of the special figure variation patterns is selected. In addition, the variable display time of the special figure when "THP012A" is selected is 100000 ms, and "THP012A" is called "SP loss variation". In addition, when "THP013A" is selected, the special figure variable display time is 20000 ms, and "THP013A" is referred to as "N loss variation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing" and the result of the reach determination is "no reach", if the number of special figures 1 pending is "0" to "2", "THP021A" One type of first special figure variation pattern is selected, and if the number of special figure 1 reservations is "3" to "4", one kind of first special figure variation pattern of "THP022A" is selected. The variable display time of the special figure when "THP021A" is selected is 13000 ms, and the variable display time of the special figure when "THP022A" is selected is 2000 ms. It is called "Normal Loss Variation".

In the first embodiment, the variation pattern A determination table 103a2 shown in FIG. 19 is used, but the variation pattern A determination table 103a2 and the variation pattern determination table 103a1 shown in FIG. good.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 20 to 31, according to the variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the special figure variation performance that can be executed by the performance control microcomputer 121 will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the following effects in the special figure variation effect executed in the "low probability low base game state".

A. Normal Fluctuation "Normal Fluctuation" is an effect that may be performed in response to the start of the variable display of special symbols, and is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed. "Normal fluctuation" is performed first in the special figure fluctuation production, so it functions as a production that suggests that the special figure fluctuation production has been started.

B. Reach "Reach" is an effect that may be performed after "Normal variation", and is an effect in which the left effect pattern EZ1 and the right effect pattern EZ3 are stop-displayed with the same type of effect pattern. "Reach" may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning", so it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played. In addition, since "ready-to-win" may develop into ready-to-win effects such as "N-reach" and "SP-to-win" after that, it also functions as an effect suggesting that the ready-to-win effects may be performed.

C. N-reach "N-reach" is an effect that may be performed after "reach" is established, and is a ready-to-win effect in which the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually slows down. Since "N reach" may be performed when the result of jackpot determination is "jackpot win", it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played.

D. SP Reach "SP Reach" is an effect sometimes performed after "N Reach", and is a reach effect in which the main character and the enemy character battle. "SP Reach" is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot judgment is "winning" than when the result is "losing", so a production that suggests that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be performed. function as

F. Re-lottery performance The "re-lottery performance" is a performance sometimes performed after the "SP ready-to-win", and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stopped and displayed in a manner suggesting a big win are again variably displayed and then stopped. It is a performance to do.

FA. Promotion success performance A
``Promotion success effect A'' is one type of ``re-lottery effect'', and the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are in a ``specific jackpot mode'' after the fluctuation speed of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 slows down. This is a stop display effect. The "specific jackpot mode" is a mode suggesting a "high-probability, high-base gaming state", and the details thereof will be described later. Since the ``successful promotion performance A'' is performed when the stop pattern of the special symbols is the ``jackpot W4 pattern'', it functions as a presentation suggesting that the ``high-probability high-base game state'' will be entered thereafter.

FB. Promotion success performance B
"Promotion success production B" is one type of "re-lottery production", and production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are set in a "specific jackpot mode" without the effect of slowing down the fluctuation speed of production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3. ” is a production that stops and displays. Since the ``successful promotion performance B'' is performed when the stop pattern of the special symbols is the ``jackpot W4 pattern'', it functions as a performance suggesting that the ``high-probability high-base game state'' will be entered thereafter.

F-C. Promotion failure performance A
``Promotion failure performance A'' is one type of ``re-lottery performance'', and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are in a ``normal jackpot mode'' after the fluctuation speed of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is slowed down. This is a stop display effect. The "normal jackpot mode" is a mode suggesting a "low-probability high-base gaming state", the details of which will be described later. Since the ``failure promotion performance A'' is performed when the stop pattern of the special symbols is ``big hit x4 symbols'', it functions as a performance suggesting that the ``low probability high base game state'' will be entered thereafter.

F-D. Promotion failure performance B
"Promotion failure production B" is one type of "re-lottery production", and production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are set in a "normal jackpot mode" without the effect of slowing down the fluctuation speed of production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3. ” is a production that stops and displays. ``Promotion failure performance B'' functions as a performance suggesting a ``low-probability high-base game state'' after that because it is performed when the stop pattern of the special symbol is a ``jackpot X4 pattern''.

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the production flow of the main special figure fluctuation production executed according to the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation pattern A determination table 103a2 will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the effect flow, and according to the display of the effect image, the light emission effect using the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 and the speaker. 52 can be executed.

As shown in FIG. 20 (A), in the special figure variation effect with the variation patterns "SP/successful jackpot variation" and "SP/unsuccessful jackpot variation", "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → " An effect flow composed of "SP Reach"→"Re-lottery effect" is executed. In addition, in the “re-lottery production” in the special fluctuation production of “SP / success jackpot fluctuation”, “promotion success production A” or “promotion success production B” is performed, and “SP / failure jackpot fluctuation” special fluctuation production In the "re-lottery effect", "promotion failure effect A" or "promotion failure effect B" is performed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 20 (B), in the special figure variation production of the variation pattern "SP loss variation", the production consisting of "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach" Flow is executed.

Also, as shown in FIG. 20(C), in the special figure variation performance with the variation pattern of "N loss variation", the performance flow composed of "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" is executed. .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 20(D), in the special figure variation effect in which the variation pattern is "normal loss variation", an effect flow composed only of "normal variation" is executed.

Next, the main effects executed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be specifically described. It should be noted that, in the special figure variation effect described below, the display of the pending icon HA is also performed in parallel, but the illustration of the pending icon HA may be omitted.

First, with reference to FIGS. 21(A) to 21(C), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can variably display the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 on the display section 50a in the special figure variation effect.

As shown in FIG. 21(A), the left effect symbol EZ1 is composed of eight types of effect symbols, ie, the left effect symbol EZ1a to the left effect symbol EZ1h. The left effect pattern EZ1a is a number pattern including the number "1", the left effect pattern EZ1b is a number pattern including the number "2", and the left effect pattern EZ1c is a number including the number "3". The left production design EZ1d is a number design including the number "4", the left production design EZ1e is a number design including the number "5", and the left production design EZ1f is the number "6". , the left effect symbol EZ1g is a number symbol including the number "7", and the left effect symbol EZ1h is a number symbol including the number "8".

Further, as shown in FIG. 21(B), the middle production pattern EZ2 is composed of eight kinds of production patterns, medium production patterns EZ2a to medium production patterns EZ2h. The medium production pattern EZ2a is a number pattern including the number "1", the medium production pattern EZ2b is a number pattern including the number "2", and the medium production pattern EZ2c is a number including the number "3". The medium production design EZ2d is a number design including the number "4", the medium production design EZ2e is a number design including the number "5", and the medium production design EZ2f is the number "6". , the middle effect pattern EZ2g is a number pattern including the number "7", and the middle effect pattern EZ2h is a number pattern including the number "8".

Further, as shown in FIG. 21(C), the right performance symbol EZ3 is composed of eight types of performance symbols, ie, the right performance symbol EZ3a to the right performance symbol EZ3h. The right production pattern EZ3a is a number pattern including the number "1", the right production pattern EZ3b is a number pattern including the number "2", and the right production pattern EZ3c is a number including the number "3". The right production design EZ3d is a number design including the number "4", the right production design EZ3e is a number design including the number "5", and the right production design EZ3f is the number "6". , the right effect symbol EZ3g is a number symbol including the number "7", and the right effect symbol EZ3h is a number symbol including the number "8".

When the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed, the performance control microcomputer 121 variably displays the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 so as to scroll the display portion 50a downward from above the display portion 50a. When the result of big win determination is ``win big win'', performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a big win mode in which the same number symbols are included in all of them.

In the jackpot mode, "1 1 1", which is a combination of the left production pattern EZ1a, the middle production pattern EZ2a, and the right production pattern EZ3a, and the combination of the left production pattern EZ1b, the middle production pattern EZ2b, and the right production pattern EZ3b. "2, 2, 2", left production pattern EZ1c, middle production pattern EZ2c, right production pattern EZ3c are combined "3, 3, 3", left production pattern EZ1d, middle production pattern EZ2d, right production pattern EZ3d. "4 4 4" which is a combination of , "5 5 5" which is a combination of left production pattern EZ1e, middle production pattern EZ2e, right production pattern EZ3e, left production pattern EZ1f, middle production pattern EZ2f, "6, 6, 6", which is a combination of the right production pattern EZ3f, "7, 7, 7", which is a combination of the left production pattern EZ1g, the middle production pattern EZ2g, and the right production pattern EZ3g, and the left production pattern EZ1h, medium There is "8, 8, 8" which is a combination of the production pattern EZ2h and the right production pattern EZ3h.

"1 1 1", "2 2 2", "4 4 4", "6 6 6" and "8 8 8" as jackpot modes are special stop symbols This is a jackpot mode in which a stop display is made in the case of either "jackpot X4 symbols" or "jackpot X10 symbols". When one of the "jackpot X4 symbols" and "jackpot X10 symbols" is stopped and displayed, after that, the jackpot game state is changed to the "low probability high base game state", so these jackpot modes are " It can be said that it is a mode that suggests a jackpot game state that becomes a "low probability high base game state". In addition, these jackpot modes are referred to as "normal jackpot modes".

On the other hand, in "3.3.3", "5.5.5" and "7.7.7" as the jackpot mode, the stop pattern of the special figure is either "jackpot W4 pattern" or "jackpot W10 pattern". This is a jackpot mode in which stop display is performed in this case. When either the "jackpot W4 symbol" or the "jackpot W10 symbol" is stopped and displayed, after that, the "high probability high base game state" is entered through the jackpot game state, so these jackpot modes are " It can be said that it is a mode that suggests a jackpot game state that becomes "high probability high base game state". In addition, these jackpot modes are referred to as "specific jackpot modes".

Next, "SP reach", which is stopped and displayed by the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3, will be specifically described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute "SP reach" after "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of which the fluctuation patterns are "SP/successful jackpot fluctuation", "SP/failure jackpot fluctuation", and "SP loss fluctuation". When "SP reach" is executed, all of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 can be stopped and displayed at the end of "SP reach" (see FIG. 8).

The effect storage unit 121b of the effect control microcomputer 121 stores a stop mode selection table 123a1 as shown in FIG. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select the type of stop mode of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to be stopped and displayed at the end of "SP reach" using the stop mode selection table 123a1. The types of stop mode are classified into a reach-losing mode and a temporary jackpot mode.

Reach loss mode is a stop mode selected when the variation pattern is "SP loss variation". In the reach-losing mode, "1, 2, 1", which is a combination of the left production pattern EZ1a, the middle production pattern EZ2b, and the right production pattern EZ3a, and the combination of the left production pattern EZ1b, the middle production pattern EZ2c, and the right production pattern EZ3b. "2, 3, 2", left production pattern EZ1d, middle production pattern EZ2e, right production pattern EZ3d are combined "4, 5, 4", left production pattern EZ1f, middle production pattern EZ2g, right production pattern EZ3f and "8.1.8" which is a combination of the left effect pattern EZ1h, the middle effect pattern EZ2a and the right effect pattern EZ3h.

On the other hand, the provisional jackpot mode is a stop mode selected when the variation pattern is "SP/successful jackpot variation" or "SP/unsuccessful jackpot variation". In the temporary jackpot mode, "1 1 1", which is a combination of the left production pattern EZ1a, the middle production pattern EZ2a, and the right production pattern EZ3a, and the combination of the left production pattern EZ1b, the middle production pattern EZ2b, and the right production pattern EZ3b. "2 2 2", left production pattern EZ1d, middle production pattern EZ2d, right production pattern EZ3d, and "4 4 4", left production pattern EZ1f, middle production pattern EZ2f, right production pattern There are "6, 6, 6" which is a combination of EZ3f and "8, 8, 8" which is a combination of left production pattern EZ1h, middle production pattern EZ2h, and right production pattern EZ3h.

In the first embodiment, the "specific jackpot mode" ("3.3.3", "5.5.5", "7.7.7") as the jackpot mode is not included in the provisional jackpot mode. However, part or all of the "specific jackpot mode" as the jackpot mode may be included in the provisional jackpot mode.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing the contents of the stop mode selection table 123a1. The effect control microcomputer 121 refers to the type of variation pattern, and selects the type of stop mode of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to be stopped and displayed at the end of "SP reach".

Specifically, when the variation pattern is "SP loss variation" (THP012A), as the reach loss mode, "1 2 1" is 20%, "2 3 2" is 20%, and "4. 5.4" is selected at a rate of 20%, "6.7.6" at 20%, and "8.1.8" at a rate of 20%, and no provisional jackpot mode is selected.

Also, when the variation pattern is "SP/successful jackpot variation" (THP002A1), the provisional jackpot mode is "1.1.1" at 30%, "2.2.2" at 25%, and "4. 4.4" is selected at a rate of 15%, "6.6.6" at 15%, and "8.8.8" at a rate of 15%, and the reach loss mode is not selected.

In addition, when the variation pattern is "SP/failed jackpot variation" (THP002A2), the provisional jackpot mode is "1.1.1" at 10%, "2.2.2" at 15%, and "4. 4.4" is selected at a rate of 25%, "6.6.6" at 25%, and "8.8.8" at a rate of 25%, and the reach loss mode is not selected.

Note that the selection ratio indicated by the stop mode selection table 123a1 shown in FIG. 23 can be changed as appropriate.

When the production control microcomputer 121 stops displaying the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 at the end of "SP reach", it stops and displays the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 in the stop mode selected by the stop mode selection table 123a1. do.

Here, the flow until the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 are stopped and displayed at the end of "SP reach" will be explained. FIGS. 24(A) to 24(E) are diagrams showing the state from the establishment of "reach" to the end of "SP reach".

As shown in FIG. 24(A), when the left performance symbol EZ1 and the right performance symbol EZ3 are stop-displayed with performance symbols including the same number symbol, "ready-to-win" is established. At this time, when the stop mode selection table 123a1 selects the reach-losing mode of "1.2.1" or the provisional jackpot mode of "1.1.1", the left performance symbol EZ1a and the right performance symbol EZ3a are selected. When the reach number ("1.↓.1") is stopped and displayed, and the "2.3.2" reach loss mode or the "2.2.2" provisional jackpot mode is selected, the left effect pattern EZ1b is selected. And when the reach eye ("2 ↓ 2") of the right production pattern EZ3b is stopped and displayed, and the reach loss mode of "4 5 4" or the provisional jackpot mode of "4 4 4" is selected , the reach numbers ("4 ↓ 4") of the left production pattern EZ1d and the right production pattern EZ3d are stopped and displayed, and the reach loss mode of "6, 7, 6" or the provisional jackpot mode of "6, 6, 6" is selected, the reach numbers ("6 ↓ 6") of the left production pattern EZ1f and the right production pattern EZ3f are stopped and displayed, and the reach loss mode of "8.1.8" or "8.8. When the provisional jackpot mode of 8" is selected, the reach numbers ("8.↓.8") of the left effect symbol EZ1h and the right effect symbol EZ3h are stopped and displayed. FIG. 24(A) shows a state in which the reach numbers ("4.↓.4") of the left effect symbol EZ1d and the right effect symbol EZ3d are stopped and displayed.

When "reach" is established, as shown in FIG. 24(B), "N reach" is performed in which the variation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 is gradually decelerated. After that, when the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 accelerates again, it develops into "SP reach".

In the "SP reach", as shown in FIG. 24(C), the left effect symbol EZ1 moves so as to shrink to the upper left part of the display unit 50a, and the right effect symbol EZ3 shrinks to the upper right part of the display unit 50a. A main character image G200 representing the main character and an enemy character image G201 representing the enemy character are displayed on the display section 50a, and a moving image of the main character and the enemy character in battle is displayed. FIG. 24(C) shows how the left effect symbol EZ1d and the right effect symbol EZ3d move so as to contract.

After that, when the variation pattern is "SP loss variation", as shown in FIG. 24(D), the display unit 50a displays an image of the enemy character rejoicing at winning the battle, and the stop mode selection table 123a1 is displayed. According to the selection result of , the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a reach-losing mode, and "SP reach" ends. FIG. 24(D) shows a state in which the reach-losing mode ("4, 5, 4") of the left effect symbol EZ1d, the middle effect symbol EZ2e, and the right effect symbol EZ3d are stopped and displayed.

On the other hand, when the variation pattern is "SP/successful jackpot variation" or "SP/unsuccessful jackpot variation", as shown in FIG. 50a, and according to the selection result of the stop mode selection table 123a1, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are pseudo-stop-displayed in a temporary jackpot mode, developing into a "re-lottery performance". FIG. 24(E) shows a virtual stop display of the temporary jackpot mode ("4.4.4") of the left effect symbol EZ1d, the middle effect symbol EZ2d, and the right effect symbol EZ3d.

Next, the "re-lottery effect" will be specifically described. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute a "re-lottery production" after "SP reach" in the special figure fluctuation production with the fluctuation patterns of "SP/successful jackpot fluctuation" and "SP/unsuccessful jackpot fluctuation".

In the effect storage unit 121b of the effect control microcomputer 121, as shown in FIG. 22, a re-lottery effect selection table 123a2 is stored. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select the effect pattern of "re-lottery effect" using the re-lottery effect selection table 123a2. There are eight types of production patterns, production pattern A to production pattern H.

The effect pattern A is composed of "scroll effect"→"stopping effect"→"successful stop effect". The effect pattern B is composed of "scroll effect"→"stop effect"→"stop failure effect"→"button effect"→"switching success effect". The effect pattern C is composed of "scrolling effect"→"stop effect"→"stop failure effect"→"button effect"→"switching failure effect"→"change effect". The effect pattern D is composed of "scroll effect"→"successful stop effect". The effect pattern E is composed of "scrolling effect"→"stop failure effect"→"button pushing"→"switching success effect". The effect pattern F is composed of "scrolling effect"→"stop failure effect"→"button pushing"→"switching failure effect"→"change effect". The effect pattern G is composed of "scrolling effect"→"stop effect"→"stop failure effect"→"button effect"→"switching failure effect". The effect pattern H is composed of "scrolling effect"→"stop failure effect"→"button pushing"→"switching failure effect". Details of each effect will be described later.

FIG. 25 is a diagram showing the contents of the re-lottery effect selection table 123a2. The effect control microcomputer 121 selects the effect pattern of "re-lottery effect" with reference to the variation pattern type and the selection result (especially the type of temporary jackpot mode) by the stop mode selection table 123a1.

Specifically, when the variation pattern is "SP/successful jackpot variation" (THP002A1), the provisional jackpot mode is "4.4.4", "6.6.6", "8.8.8". , effect pattern A is selected at a rate of 50%, effect pattern B is 40%, effect pattern C is 10%, effect pattern D, effect pattern E, effect pattern F, effect pattern G and effect pattern are selected. H is not selected.

Further, when the variation pattern is "SP/successful jackpot variation" (THP002A1) and the provisional jackpot modes are "1.1.1" and "2.2.2", the production pattern D is 50. %, effect pattern E is selected at a rate of 40%, effect pattern F is selected at a rate of 10%, effect pattern A, effect pattern B, effect pattern C, effect pattern G and effect pattern H are not selected.

Also, when the variation pattern is "SP/unsuccessful jackpot variation" (THP002A2) and the temporary jackpot mode is "4.4.4", "6.6.6" and "8.8.8" , effect pattern G is selected at a rate of 100%, effect pattern A, effect pattern B, effect pattern C, effect pattern D, effect pattern E, effect pattern F and effect pattern H are not selected.

In addition, when the variation pattern is "SP/failure jackpot variation" (THP002A2) and the provisional jackpot mode is "1.1.1" and "2.2.2", the production pattern H is 100. %, and effect pattern A, effect pattern B, effect pattern C, effect pattern D, effect pattern E, effect pattern F, and effect pattern G are not selected.

That is, in the case of the provisional jackpot mode of "4.4.4", "6.6.6" or "8.8.8", the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 stopped and displayed at the end of "SP reach" , while the “re-lottery effect” of the effect pattern that includes “stop fanning” in the effect flow is performed, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ2 stopped and displayed at the end of “SP reach” are “1 1 1”. Alternatively, in the case of the provisional jackpot mode of "2.2.2", the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern that does not include the "stop fanning" in the effect flow is performed.

The temporary jackpot modes of "4, 4, 4", "6, 6, 6" and "8, 8, 8" are modes in which there are "specific jackpot modes" both before and after, and "1, 1, 1 ' and '2.2.2' provisional jackpot modes are modes in which there is no "specific jackpot mode" in both or one of the front and back. For example, "4, 4, 4" is "3, 3, 3" before and "5, 5, 5" after, and both before and after have "specific jackpot mode", while "1, 1, 4" 1" is a mode in which the front is "8.8.8" and the rear is "2.2.2", and neither the front nor the rear has a "specific jackpot mode."

It should be noted that the selection ratio indicated by the re-lottery effect selection table 123a2 shown in FIG. 25 can be appropriately changed.

When the performance control microcomputer 121 executes the "re-lottery performance" after the "SP reach", the performance pattern selected by the re-lottery performance selection table 123a2 executes the "re-lottery performance".

FIGS. 26 to 28 are diagrams showing how the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern including the "stop fanning" in the effect flow is performed, and FIGS. 26A to 26C show the effect patterns. 27(A) to 27(E) are diagrams showing how the "re-lottery effect" of effect pattern B is performed, and FIG. 28(A) to FIG. 28(F) are diagrams showing how the "re-lottery effect" of effect pattern C and effect pattern G is performed. Here, the temporary jackpot mode of "4.4.4" is selected by the stop mode selection table 123a1.・An example of the "re-lottery effect" that is executed when the double number of "4") is stop-displayed.

At the end of "SP reach", the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 (here, the left production pattern EZ1d, the middle production pattern EZ2d, and the right production pattern EZ3d "4, 4, 4") are pseudo-stopped. When displayed, a "re-lottery effect" of any of effect pattern A, effect pattern B, effect pattern C, and effect pattern G is performed.

In the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern A, first, as shown in FIG. 26(A), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 start to be variably displayed again and the "scroll effect" is performed. In the "scroll effect", the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are all arranged in parallel, and the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are moved from the top to the bottom of the display unit 50a at a low speed (the player can easily see them). It is a production that fluctuates and displays so that it scrolls at a reasonable speed). The production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are "1.1.1" → "2.2.2" → "3.3.3" → "4.4.4" → "5.5.5". →"6.6.6"→"7.7.7"→"8.8.8", and then return to "1.1.1" to continue scrolling.

When a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses after the start of the "scroll effect", the fluctuation speed of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 slows down, and as shown in FIG. EZ2 and EZ3 (here, the left effect symbol EZ1c, the middle effect symbol EZ2c, and the right effect symbol EZ3c, which are "3, 3, 3") are stopped and displayed in the stop display area 50b of the display unit 50a. Stop inciting" is performed. "Stop fanning" indicates whether or not the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in the stop display area 50b in the aforementioned "specific jackpot mode" (a mode suggesting a "high probability high base game state"). It is a provocative performance.

The types of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to be stopped and displayed in the stop display area 50b in the "stop fanning" differ according to the types of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stopped and displayed at the end of the "SP reach". When the types of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stopped and displayed at the end of "SP reach" are the left performance symbol EZ1d, the middle performance symbol EZ2d, and the right performance symbol EZ3d ("4, 4, 4" doubles) is a left production pattern EZ1c, a middle production pattern EZ2c, and a right production pattern EZ3c (“3, 3, 3”), and a left production pattern EZ1f, a middle production pattern EZ2f, and a right production pattern EZ3f (“6, 6・ In the case of 6", the left production pattern EZ1e, the middle production pattern EZ2e, the right production pattern EZ3e ("5, 5, 5"), the left production pattern EZ1h, the middle production pattern EZ2h , in the case of the right production pattern EZ3h ("8, 8, 8" doubles), the left production pattern EZ1g, the middle production pattern EZ2g, and the right production pattern EZ3g ("7, 7, 7" doubles). .

After the "stop swaying", as shown in FIG. 26(C), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 ("3, 3, 3" doubles) that were about to be stopped and displayed in the stop display area 50b are displayed as they are. A "successful stop effect" of stop-displaying in the stop display area 50b is performed, and the "re-lottery effect" ends.

In addition, in the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern B, similarly to the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern A, as shown in FIG. "Scroll effect" is performed.

Then, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has passed since the start of the "scroll effect", the fluctuation speed of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 slows down, and similar to the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern A, the figure As shown in 27(B), the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 (here, the left production pattern EZ1c, the middle production pattern EZ2c, and the right production pattern EZ3c of "3, 3, 3") are displayed on the display unit. A "stop swaying" is performed to try to stop display in the stop display area 50b of 50a.

After the "stop swaying", as shown in FIG. 27(C), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 ("3, 3, 3") that were about to be stopped and displayed in the stop display area 50b are stopped and displayed. After passing through the area 50b, the next production patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 (here, the left production pattern EZ1d, the middle production pattern EZ2d, and the right production pattern EZ3d "4, 4, 4") are displayed in the stop display region 50b. A “stop failure effect” is performed to stop and display.

After the "failure to stop effect", a valid operation time of the normal button 40 (for example, 2 seconds) is set, and as shown in FIG. At the same time, a left effect symbol EZ1g, a middle effect symbol EZ2g, and a right effect symbol EZ3g (doubles of "7.7.7") are displayed. At this time, "button push" is performed to drive out the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("4, 4, 4") displayed in the stop display area 50b from the stop display area 50b. "Button push" is an effect to push whether or not the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are switched to a "specific jackpot mode" (a mode suggesting a "high-probability high-base game state").

In the "button push", if the normal button 40 is operated within the valid operation time, or if the valid operation time elapses without the normal button 40 being operated, the button image is displayed as shown in FIG. 27(E). G300 is erased, and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 displayed in the stop display area 50b are replaced by left performance symbols EZ1g, middle performance symbols EZ2g, and right performance symbols EZ3g ( A "switching success effect" to switch to "7, 7, 7") is performed, and the "re-lottery effect" ends.

In addition, in the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern C and the effect pattern G, similarly to the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern A, as shown in FIG. The display is started and a "scroll effect" is performed.

Then, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has passed since the start of the "scroll effect", the fluctuation speed of the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 slows down, and similar to the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern A, the figure As shown in 28(B), the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 (here, the left production pattern EZ1c, the middle production pattern EZ2c, and the right production pattern EZ3c "3, 3, 3") are displayed on the display unit. A "stop swaying" is performed to try to stop display in the stop display area 50b of 50a.

After the "stop swaying", as shown in FIG. 28(C), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 ("3, 3, 3") that were about to be stopped and displayed in the stop display area 50b are stopped and displayed. After passing through the area 50b, the next production patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 (here, the left production pattern EZ1d, the middle production pattern EZ2d, and the right production pattern EZ3d "4, 4, 4") are displayed in the stop display region 50b. A “stop failure effect” is performed to stop and display.

After the "failure to stop effect", a valid operation time of the normal button 40 (for example, 2 seconds) is set, and as shown in FIG. At the same time, a left effect symbol EZ1g, a middle effect symbol EZ2g, and a right effect symbol EZ3g (doubles of "7.7.7") are displayed. At this time, "button push" is performed to drive out the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("4, 4, 4") displayed in the stop display area 50b from the stop display area 50b.

In "button push", if the normal button 40 is operated within the valid operation time, or if the valid operation time elapses without the normal button 40 being operated, the button image is displayed as shown in FIG. 28(E). G300 is erased, and the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 displayed in the stop display area 50b are replaced by left performance symbols EZ1g, middle performance symbols EZ2g, and right performance symbols EZ3g ( A "switching failure effect" is performed in which switching is not performed to "7, 7, 7".

After that, if it is the "re-lottery effect" of the effect pattern C, as shown in FIG. , middle production pattern EZ2g, and right production pattern EZ3g (doubles of "7.7.7") are performed, and the "re-lottery production" is completed. On the other hand, if the production pattern G is "re-lottery production", the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 ("4, 4, 4" doubles) are the left production pattern EZ1g, the middle production pattern EZ2g, and the right production pattern EZ3g. The "re-lottery effect" ends without changing to (sequences of "7, 7, 7").

FIGS. 29 to 31 are diagrams showing how the “re-lottery effect” of the effect pattern that does not include “stop fanning” is performed in the effect flow, and FIGS.

When ``promotion success performance B'' or ``promotion failure performance B'' is performed, the performance pattern of ``re-lottery performance'' depends on the type of performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 stopped and displayed at the end of ``SP reach''. can be suggested, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

<Second embodiment>
The second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 32 to 40. FIG. Unless otherwise stated, the pachinko game machine PY1 of the basic embodiment or the first embodiment is also applied to the second embodiment.

First, the configuration of the image display device 50 will be described with reference to FIG. The display unit 50a of the image display device 50 can display not only 2D images but also 3D images.

32A is a top view of the image display device 50. FIG. As shown in FIG. 32(A), the display unit 50a includes a display panel 50a1 capable of displaying a 3D image that can be viewed stereoscopically by the player, and a backlight that emits planar light from behind the display panel 50a1 toward the front. The image display device 50 is provided with a light 50a2 and a barrier panel 50a3 provided on the front side of the display panel 50a1 with a predetermined gap from the display panel 50a1. .

The effect control microcomputer 121 is capable of displaying a 3D image composed of a right-eye image GR and a left-eye image GL that are displayed in a vertically elongated rectangular shape on the display panel 50a1, and displays a right-eye image GR and a left-eye image GL on the barrier panel 50a3. A vertically striped black band that prevents the left eye of the player from viewing the image GR for the eye and prevents the player from viewing the left eye of the image GL from the right eye of the player. It is possible to display the barrier image GB with a transparent portion that allows the right eye to see and the left eye image GL to be seen by the player's left eye.

For example, as shown in FIG. 32A, a right-eye image GR and a left-eye image GL are alternately displayed as a 3D image, and a black belt portion and a transparent portion are alternately displayed as a barrier image GB. Then, for the player's right eye, the left-eye image GL is hidden by the black belt portion, but the right-eye image GR is not hidden by the transparent portion, so that only the right-eye image GR is visible. On the other hand, as for the player's left eye, the right-eye image GR is hidden by the black belt portion, but the left-eye image GL is not hidden by the transparent portion, so only the left-eye image GL is visible. In this way, the depth is sensed by utilizing the binocular parallax in the line-of-sight direction of the image seen by the player's right eye and left eye, so that the player can view the 3D image stereoscopically with the naked eye. It has become.

Here, layers on which 2D images and 3D images are displayed on the display panel 50a1 will be described with reference to FIG. 32(B). As shown in FIG. 32(B), the effect control microcomputer 121 displays different images in each of a plurality of layers including the first to fourth layers, thereby superimposing the images on the display panel 50a1. It is possible to display

The first layer is the lowest layer, and is a layer on which 2D images such as a normal background image G102 and a special background image G400, which will be described later, are displayed. The second layer is a layer higher than the first layer, and displays 2D images such as a main character image G200, panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c described later, a background image G500 for advance notice of proliferation, and a frame image G501. layer. Also, the third layer is a layer higher than the second layer, and is a layer in which 2D images such as production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed. The fourth layer is a layer higher than the third layer, and is a layer on which 3D images such as changed effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 and a sword image G502, which will be described later, are displayed.

Next, variation patterns that can be selected by the game control microcomputer 101 will be described. As shown in FIG. 33, the game storage unit 101c of the game control microcomputer 101 stores a variation pattern B determination table 103a3.

The game control microcomputer 101 can select the variation pattern of the first special figure using the variation pattern B determination table 103a3 when the game state is the "low probability low base game state".

FIG. 34 is a diagram showing the contents of the variation pattern B determination table 103a3. The game control microcomputer 101 selects the type of variation pattern of the first special figure based on the result of the jackpot determination, the result of the reach determination, and the number of special figure reservations. As the types of variation patterns of the first special figure, as shown in FIG. There are 10 types of variation patterns of "THP021B" and "THP022B". The game control microcomputer 101 selects the variation pattern of the first special figure at the selection ratio shown in FIG.

Specifically, when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning", regardless of the reach determination result and the number of special figures reserved, the three types of first special figures of "THP001B", "THP002B", and "THP004B" is selected. In addition, the variable display time of the special figure when "THP001B" is selected is 120000 ms, and "THP001B" is called "SPSP jackpot A variation". In addition, when "THP002B" is selected, the special figure variable display time is 100000 ms, and "THP002B" is referred to as "SP jackpot variation". In addition, when "THP004B" is selected, the special figure variable display time is 100000 ms, and "THP004B" is referred to as "SPSP jackpot B fluctuation".

Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing" and the result of the reach determination is "with reach", regardless of the number of special figures pending, "THP011B", "THP012B", "THP013B", " One of the five variation patterns of the first special figure of "THP014B" and "THP015B" is selected. In addition, the variable display time of the special figure when "THP011B" is selected is 120000 ms, and "THP011B" is referred to as "SPSP loss A variation". In addition, when "THP012B" is selected, the special figure variable display time is 100000 ms, and "THP012B" is referred to as "SP loss variation". In addition, when "THP013B" is selected, the special figure variable display time is 20000 ms, and "THP013B" is referred to as "N loss variation". In addition, when "THP014B" is selected, the special figure variable display time is 100000 ms, and "THP014B" is referred to as "SPSP loss B fluctuation". In addition, the variable display time of the special figure when "THP015B" is selected is 20000 ms, and "THP015B" is referred to as a "failure variation in fanning".

Also, if the result of the jackpot determination is "losing" and the result of the reach determination is "no reach", if the number of special figures 1 pending is "0" to "2", "THP021B" One type of first special figure variation pattern is selected, and if the number of special figure 1 reservations is "3" to "4", one kind of first special figure variation pattern of "THP022B" is selected. The variable display time of the special figure when "THP021B" is selected is 13000 ms, and the variable display time of the special figure when "THP022B" is selected is 2000 ms. It is called "Normal Loss Variation".

In the second embodiment, the variation pattern B determination table 103a3 shown in FIG. 34 is used, and the variation pattern B determination table 103a3, the variation pattern determination table 103a1 shown in FIG. 14, and the variation pattern A determination table 103a2 shown in FIG. One or both of them may be used in combination.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 35 to 40, according to the variation pattern selected by the game control microcomputer 101, the special figure variation performance that can be executed by the performance control microcomputer 121 will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can execute the following effects in the special figure variation effect executed in the "low probability low base game state".

G. Normal Fluctuation "Normal Fluctuation" is an effect that may be performed in response to the start of variable display of a special figure, and is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the normal background image G102. "Normal fluctuation" is performed first in the special figure fluctuation production, so it functions as a production that suggests that the special figure fluctuation production has been started.

H. SPSP Inflection Variation "SPSP Inflection Variation" is an effect that may be performed in response to the start of the variable display of special symbols, and is an effect in which the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the special background image G400. Since "SPSP fanning fluctuation" is performed first in the special figure fluctuation production, it functions as a production suggesting that the special figure fluctuation production has started. In addition, since the "SPSP fanning fluctuation" may later develop into the "SPSP reach", it also functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of developing into the "SPSP reach".

I. Reach "Reach" is an effect that may be performed after "Normal variation", and is an effect in which the left effect pattern EZ1 and the right effect pattern EZ3 are stop-displayed with the same type of effect pattern. "Reach" may be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning", so it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played. In addition, since "reach" may develop into reach performances such as "N reach", "SP reach", "SPSP reach" after that, as a performance suggesting that reach performance may be performed also works.

J. N-reach "N-reach" is an effect that may be performed after "reach" is established, and is a ready-to-win effect in which the fluctuation speed of the medium effect symbol EZ2 gradually slows down. Since "N reach" may be performed when the result of jackpot determination is "jackpot win", it functions as an effect suggesting the possibility of a jackpot game being played.

K. SP Reach "SP Reach" is an effect sometimes performed after "N Reach", and is a reach effect in which the main character and the enemy character battle. "SP Reach" is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot judgment is "winning" than when the result is "losing", so a production that suggests that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be performed. function as

L. SPSP Reach "SPSP Reach" is an effect that may be performed after "SPSP Instigation Fluctuation" or "SP Reach", and is a reach effect in which the main character battles with a strong enemy character. ``SPSP Reach'' is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot determination is ``winning the jackpot'' than when the result is ``losing'', so the production suggests that the possibility of the jackpot game being played is high. function as In addition, since the jackpot game is more likely to be played when “SP reach” develops into “SPSP reach” than when “SP reach” does not develop into “SPSP reach”, “SPSP reach” is , "SP Reach" also functions as an effect suggesting that there is a higher possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

M. Proliferation Notice “Proliferation Notice” is an effect that may be performed in “N Reach”, and is an advance notice effect in which the main character proliferates. "Proliferation notice" is more likely to be performed when the result of the jackpot judgment is "winning" than when the result is "losing", so a production that suggests that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played. function as In addition, the "proliferation notice" later develops into "SPSP reach" via "SP reach", so that it develops into "SP reach" or develops into "SPSP reach". It also functions as a suggestive production.

Next, with reference to FIG. 35, the production flow of the main special figure fluctuation production executed according to the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation pattern B determination table 103a3 will be described. The effect control microcomputer 121 displays the effect image on the display unit 50a in each effect constituting the effect flow, and according to the display of the effect image, the light emission effect using the frame lamp 53 and the board lamp 54 and the speaker. 52 can be executed.

As shown in FIG. 35 (A), in the special figure variation effect with the variation patterns "SPSP jackpot A variation" and "SPSP loss A variation", "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach ”→“SPSP Reach” is executed. In addition, "proliferation notice" may be performed in "N reach" in these special figure fluctuation effects.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 35 (B), in the special figure variation effect with the variation patterns "SP big hit variation" and "SP loss variation", "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" → "SP reach ” is executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 35(C), in the special figure variation effect with the variation patterns of "SPSP big hit B variation" and "SPSP loss B variation", the effect is composed of "SPSP fanning variation" → "SPSP reach". Flow is executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 35(D), in the special figure variation production with the variation pattern "N loss variation", the production flow composed of "normal variation" → "reach" → "N reach" is executed. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 35(E), in the special-figure variation performance with the variation pattern of "Failure to instigate variation", an attraction flow composed only of "SPSP Instigation variation" is executed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 35(F), in the special figure variation effect in which the variation pattern is "normal loss variation", an effect flow composed only of "normal variation" is executed.

Next, the main effects executed in the special figure fluctuation effect will be specifically described. It should be noted that, in the special figure variation effect described below, the display of the pending icon HA is also performed in parallel, but the illustration of the pending icon HA may be omitted.

First, with reference to FIGS. 36(A) to 36(C), the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 will be specifically described. The effect control microcomputer 121 can variably display the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 on the display panel 50a1 of the display section 50a in the special figure variation effect.

As shown in FIG. 36(A), the left effect symbol EZ1 is composed of eight types of effect symbols from left effect symbol EZ1aa to left effect symbol EZ1hh. The left effect pattern EZ1aa consists of a number pattern including the number "1" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, and the left production pattern EZ1bb consists of a number pattern including the number "2" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The left production pattern EZ1cc consists of a number pattern including the number "3" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the left production pattern EZ1dd consists of a number pattern including the number "4" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The left production pattern EZ1ee consists of a number pattern including the number "5" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the left production pattern EZ1ff consists of a number pattern including the number "6" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The left performance pattern EZ1gg consists of a number pattern including the number "7" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the left performance pattern EZ1hh consists of a number pattern including the number "8" and a character pattern representing the enemy character.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 36(B), the middle production pattern EZ2 is composed of eight kinds of production patterns from middle production pattern EZ2aa to middle production pattern EZ2hh. The middle effect pattern EZ2aa consists of a number pattern including the number "1" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, and the middle effect pattern EZ2bb consists of a number pattern including the number "2" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The medium production pattern EZ2cc consists of a number pattern including the number "3" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the medium production pattern EZ2dd consists of a number pattern including the number "4" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The medium production pattern EZ2ee consists of a number pattern including the number "5" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the medium production pattern EZ2ff consists of a number pattern including the number "6" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The medium performance pattern EZ2gg consists of a number pattern including the number "7" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the medium production pattern EZ2hh consists of a number pattern including the number "8" and a character pattern representing the enemy character.

Further, as shown in FIG. 36(C), the right performance symbol EZ3 is composed of eight types of performance symbols from right performance symbol EZ3aa to right performance symbol EZ3hh. The right production pattern EZ3aa consists of a number pattern including the number "1" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, and the right production pattern EZ3bb consists of a number pattern including the number "2" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The right production pattern EZ3cc consists of a number pattern including the number "3" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the right production pattern EZ3dd consists of a number pattern including the number "4" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The right production pattern EZ3ee consists of a number pattern including the number "5" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the right production pattern EZ3ff consists of a number pattern including the number "6" and a character pattern representing an enemy character, The right performance pattern EZ3gg consists of a number pattern including the number "7" and a character pattern representing the main character, and the right performance pattern EZ3hh consists of a number pattern including the number "8" and a character pattern representing the enemy character.

When the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed, the performance control microcomputer 121 variably displays the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 so as to scroll the display panel 50a1 downward from above the display panel 50a1. It is possible to

Next, the “SPSP tilt fluctuation” in which a 3D image may be displayed will be specifically described. The performance control microcomputer 121 can execute "SPSP fanning variation" in the special figure variation presentations of which the variation patterns are "SPSP big win B variation", "SPSP losing B variation", and "failure failure variation".

FIGS. 37(A) to 37(F) are diagrams showing how the “SPSP fanning variation” is performed. As shown in FIG. 37(A), in the "SPSP fanning fluctuation", a special background image G400 including the sentence "SPSP chance" is displayed as a 2D image on the first layer, and the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed as special background images. A 2D image is displayed on the third layer so as to variably display the background image G400.

Then, when a predetermined time (e.g., 8 seconds) elapses after the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed, the variation speed of the left performance symbol EZ1 slows down, and as shown in FIG. 37(B), the left performance symbol EZ1cc is stopped and displayed in the center of the special background image G400. At this time, in conjunction with the stop display of the left effect symbol EZ1cc, a left panel image G401a, which is a part of the panel image, is displayed as a 2D image on the second layer between the left effect symbol EZ1cc and the special background image G400. At the same time, the left effect pattern EZ1cc changes to only the number pattern including the number "3". In addition to the left panel image G401a, the panel images include a middle panel image G401b and a right panel image G401c. sentence is completed.

The left effect symbol EZ1cc changed to only the number symbol including the number "3" is displayed on the fourth layer as a 3D image consisting of the right eye image GR and the left eye image GL, and is displayed on the barrier panel 50a3. The barrier image GB allows the player to view stereoscopically. As a result, even if the left panel image G401a and the left effect symbol EZ1cc are superimposed and displayed, the stereoscopic vision of the left effect symbol EZ1cc increases the visibility of the left effect symbol EZ1cc.

In addition, the left effect symbol EZ1cc, which has changed only to a number symbol including the number "3", is an image with a higher transmittance than the left effect symbol EZ1cc before the change, and the left panel image G401a and the left effect symbol EZ1cc. are superimposed on each other, the left panel image G401a is transparent to enhance the visibility of the left panel image G401a.

Then, when a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) elapses after the left effect symbol EZ1cc is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation speed of the right effect symbol EZ3 slows down, and as shown in FIG. It is stopped and displayed in the center of the background image G400. At this time, in conjunction with the stop display of the right effect symbol EZ3gg, a right panel image G401c, which is a part of the panel image, is displayed as a 2D image on the second layer between the right effect symbol EZ3gg and the special background image G400. At the same time, the right production pattern EZ3gg changes to only the number pattern including the number "7".

The left effect symbol EZ1gg changed to only the number symbol including the number "7" is displayed on the fourth layer as a 3D image composed of the image GR for the right eye and the image GL for the left eye, and is displayed on the barrier panel 50a3. The barrier image GB allows the player to view stereoscopically. As a result, even if the right panel image G401c and the right performance symbol EZ3gg are displayed in an overlapping manner, the stereoscopic view of the right performance symbol EZ3gg increases the visibility of the right performance symbol EZ3gg.

Also, the right effect pattern EZ3gg, which has changed only to the number pattern including the number "7", is an image with a higher transmittance than the right effect pattern EZ3gg before the change, and the right panel image G401c and the right effect pattern EZ3gg. are superimposed on each other, the right panel image G401c is transparent and the visibility of the right panel image G401c is enhanced.

Then, when a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) elapses after the right effect symbol EZ3gg is stopped and displayed, the variation speed of the middle effect symbol EZ2 is decelerated. After that, when the variation pattern is "Failure to inflate variation", as shown in FIG. 37(D), the medium effect symbol EZ2ff is stopped and displayed in the center of the special background image G400.

Then, as shown in FIG. 37(E), the special background image G400 changes to the normal background image G102, and the left effect symbol EZ1cc and the right effect symbol EZ3gg return to the effect symbols consisting of number patterns and character patterns. A 2D image is displayed on the third layer. As a result, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed at the separated number of "3, 6, 7", and the "SPSP fanning variation" is completed. The barrier image GB displayed on the barrier panel 50a3 is erased when the left effect pattern EZ1cc and the right effect pattern EZ3gg return to the effect pattern consisting of the number pattern and the character pattern.

On the other hand, when the variation pattern is "SPSP big win B variation" or "SPSP loss B variation", as shown in FIG. . At this time, the middle panel image G401b, which is a part of the panel image, is displayed as a 2D image on the second layer between the middle effect pattern EZ2ee and the special background image G400, and the panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c display "SPSP development". ' is completed, the middle effect pattern EZ2ee changes to only the number pattern including the number '5', and the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed at the chance of '3, 5, 7'. .

The middle effect symbol EZ2ee changed to only the number symbol including the number "5" is displayed on the fourth layer as a 3D image consisting of the image GR for the right eye and the image GL for the left eye, and is displayed on the barrier panel 50a3. The barrier image GB allows the player to view stereoscopically. As a result, even if the middle panel image G401b and the middle effect symbol EZ2ee are displayed overlapping, the visibility of the middle effect symbol EZ2ee is enhanced by stereoscopic vision of the middle effect symbol EZ2ee.

In addition, the medium effect pattern EZ2ee that has changed only to a number pattern including the number "5" is an image with a higher transmittance than the medium effect pattern EZ2ee before the change. are superimposed on each other, the middle panel image G401b is transparent to increase the visibility of the middle panel image G401b.

After that, the panel images G401a, G401b, G401c and the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 are erased, and the barrier image GB displayed on the barrier panel 50a3 is also erased to end the "SPSP swing fluctuation", and the "SPSP reach ” develops.

Next, a specific description will be given of the "proliferation notice" in which a 3D image may be displayed. The production control microcomputer 121 can execute "proliferation notice" in "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production of "SPSP jackpot A fluctuation" and "SPSP loss A fluctuation" in the fluctuation pattern.

As shown in FIG. 38, the effect storage unit 121b of the effect control microcomputer 121 stores an increase notice selection table 123a3. The effect control microcomputer 121 can select whether or not to execute the "proliferation notice" using the growth notice selection table 123a3.

FIG. 39 is a diagram showing the contents of the proliferation notice selection table 123a3. The effect control microcomputer 121 refers to the type of variation pattern and selects whether or not to execute the "proliferation notice".

Specifically, when the variation pattern is the "SPSP jackpot A variation" (THP001B), the execution of the "proliferation notice" is selected at a rate of 30% and the non-execution of the "proliferation notice" is selected at a rate of 70%. On the other hand, when the variation pattern is "SPSP Loss A Fluctuation" (THP011B), 20% execution of "proliferation notice" and 80% non-execution of "proliferation notice" are selected.

The production control microcomputer 121 executes the "proliferation notice" in the "N reach" in the special figure fluctuation production when the execution of the "proliferation notice" is selected by the growth notice selection table 123a3.

FIGS. 40-1(A) to 40-3(H) are diagrams showing how the "proliferation notice" is performed. When the left performance symbol EZ1 and the right performance symbol EZ3 are stop-displayed with the same kind of performance symbol (here, the reach number of "5 ↓ 5") and "reach" is established, Fig. 40-1 (A) As shown in , it develops to "N reach", and the fluctuation speed of the middle effect symbol EZ2 is decelerated. Then, when a predetermined period of time (for example, two seconds) has passed since the development to "N reach", a "proliferation notice" is performed.

In the "proliferation notice", as shown in FIG. 40-1(B), the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are erased, and the background image for proliferation notice G500 and the main character image G200 representing the main character gripping the sword are displayed. (including the sword image G502) are displayed as 2D images in the entire area RB of the display panel 50a1.

After that, as the time elapses after the background image for proliferation notice G500 and the main character image G200 are displayed, as shown in FIG. The preview background image G500 and the main character image G200 are gradually reduced and displayed in a reduced area RS smaller than the entire area RB. At this time, the frame image G501 is displayed as a 2D image around the reduced area RS, and the proliferation notice background image G500 displayed in the reduced area RS is displayed in the first adjacent area RR1 adjacent to the reduced area RS. The same growth image as the main character image G200 and the frame image G501 is displayed as a 2D image. FIG. 40-1(C) shows how eight augmented images are displayed in the first adjacent region RR1.

After a further period of time, as shown in FIG. 40-2(D), the background image G500 for advance notice of proliferation, the main character image G200, and the frame image G501 displayed in the reduced area RS and the first adjacent area RR1 are displayed. , is further reduced. At this time, in a second adjacent region RR2 adjacent to the first adjacent region RR1, the same augmented image as the background image G500 for advance notice of proliferation, the main character image G200, and the frame image G501 displayed in the first adjacent region RR1 is displayed as a 2D image. is displayed. FIG. 40-2(D) shows how 16 augmented images are displayed in the second adjacent region RR2.

Then, after a further period of time, as shown in FIG. 40-2(E), the proliferation notice background image G500 and the main character image displayed in the reduced area RS, the first adjacent area RR1, and the second adjacent area RR2 are displayed. G200 and frame image G501 are further reduced. At this time, in a third adjacent region RR3 adjacent to the second adjacent region RR2, the same augmented image as the background image G500 for advance notice of proliferation, the main character image G200, and the frame image G501 displayed in the second adjacent region RR2 is displayed as a 2D image. is displayed. FIG. 40-2(E) shows how 24 augmented images are displayed in the third adjacent region RR3.

When 48 augmented images are displayed in the first adjacent region RR1, the second adjacent region RR2 and the third adjacent region RR3, as shown in FIG. is erased, and a sword image G502 representing the sword held by each main character is displayed.

Each sword image G502 is displayed on the display panel 50a1 as a 3D image consisting of a right-eye image GR and a left-eye image GL. It's becoming FIG. 40-2(F) shows a 3D sword image G502 held by each of the 49 main characters displayed in the reduced area RS, the first adjacent area RR1, the second adjacent area RR2, and the third adjacent area RR3. It shows how it is displayed in the image.

After that, as shown in FIG. 40-3(G), each sword image G502 is gradually expanded, and a display is performed as if the sword were flying from the back. When only one sword image G502 remains, the main character image G200 is displayed as a 2D image on the display panel 50a1 as shown in FIG. Then, the "proliferation notice" ends.

<Consideration of Second Embodiment>
The pachinko game machine PY1 described in the second embodiment will be considered below. First, consider panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c. Panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c are images displayed in the "SPSP fanning variation" in the special figure variation production with the variation pattern being any of "SPSP big win B variation", "SPSP losing B variation", and "failed fanning variation". is. In the case where the variation pattern is either "SPSP big win B variation" or "SPSP loss B variation", "SPSP swaying variation" is followed by "SPSP ready-to-win", making it easier to play a big winning game. (See FIGS. 34 and 35). That is, the panel image G401a. It can be said that the display of G401b and G401c suggests that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be played, or that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

Next, the relationship between the left panel image G401a, the middle panel image G401b, the right panel image G401c, the left effect symbol EZ1cc, the middle effect symbol EZ2ee, and the right effect symbol EZ3gg will be considered. In the "SPSP swing variation", the left panel image G401a is displayed in conjunction with the stop display of the left effect symbol EZ1cc, the middle panel image G401b is displayed in conjunction with the stop display of the middle effect symbol EZ2ee, and the right effect symbol EZ3gg is displayed. A right panel image G401c is displayed in conjunction with the stop display. In other words, from the viewpoint of display timing, the left effect symbol EZ1cc can be said to be associated with the left panel image G401a, the middle effect symbol EZ2ee can be said to be associated with the middle panel image G401b, and the right effect symbol EZ3gg can be said to be associated with the left panel image G401a.

Next, consider growth images. The multiplication image is an image displayed in the "N reach" in the special figure variation rendering with the variation pattern being either the "SPSP jackpot A variation" or the "SPSP losing A variation". Then, in the case of these fluctuation patterns, after the "N reach", it develops to the "SP SP reach" via the "SP reach", so that the jackpot game is easily performed (see FIGS. 34 and 35). ). In other words, it can be said that the multiplied image suggests that there is a possibility that a jackpot game will be played, or that there is a high possibility that a jackpot game will be played.

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

(4) When the panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c are displayed in the "SPSP fanning fluctuation", the panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c are superimposed on the effect patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3, so that the panel image and the effect It is possible to associate the symbols with the symbols and enhance the interest of the game.

(5) In the case of "SPSP fanning fluctuation", when the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed overlapping the panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c, the transmittance of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 increases, so that the panel image G401a, G401b, and G401c are easily transmitted, and the visibility of the panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c can be improved.

(6) In the case of "SPSP fanning fluctuation", when the panel images G401a, G401b, G401c are overlaid with the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 with high transmittance, the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are displayed as 3D images. Therefore, the visibility of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 can be enhanced by the stereoscopic vision of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3.

(7) In the "growth notice", in response to the growth notice background image G500 and the main character image G200 being reduced and displayed in the reduced area RS, the same enlarged image as these images is displayed adjacent to the reduced area RS. Since it is also displayed in the first adjacent region RR1, it is possible to interlock the reduced display and the increased display of the background image G500 for advance notice of growth and the main character image G200, thereby making the game more interesting.

(8) In the "growth notice", in response to the growth notice background image G500 and the main character image G200 being reduced and displayed in the reduced area RS, the same enlarged image as these images is displayed adjacent to the reduced area RS. After being also displayed in the first adjacent region RR1, the growth preview background image G500 and the main character image G200 are displayed in a further reduced size. Since they are also displayed in the 2-adjacent region RR2, it is possible to increase the display of the proliferation notice background image G500 and the main character image G200 in stages, thereby making the game more interesting.

<Modified Examples of Basic Embodiment, First Embodiment, and Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, modified examples of the pachinko game machine PY1 described in the basic embodiment, the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be described. Of course, the configurations according to the modified examples may be combined as appropriate. Moreover, technical features in the above embodiments and modifications below can be deleted as appropriate unless they are described as essential in this specification.

In the first embodiment, "1.1.1", "2.2.2", "4.4.4", "6.6.6" and "8.8" of production patterns EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3・A stop display of any of 8” suggests a jackpot gaming state that becomes a “low probability high base gaming state”, and “3 3 3” and “5 5 5” of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3. ' and '7.7.7' indicates a jackpot game state in which a 'high-probability high-base game state' is reached. Also good. For example, a jackpot game state of a ``low probability high base game state'' with an upper limit of 1 time and a jackpot game state of a ``low probability high base game state'' with an upper limit of 200 times are provided, and a performance pattern EZ1 is provided. , EZ2, EZ3 stop display of any of "1-1-1", "2-2-2", "4-4-4", "6-6-6" and "8-8-8" , suggests a jackpot game state in which the upper limit number of times is 1 “low probability high base game state”, and “3 3 3”, “5 5 5” and “ Any stop display of 7, 7, 7” may suggest a jackpot gaming state in which the upper limit number of times is 200 and the “low probability high base gaming state”.

Further, in the first embodiment, "1.1.1", "2.2.2", "4.4.4", "6.6.6" and "8" of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3・A stop display of any of 8, 8” suggests a jackpot gaming state that becomes a “low probability high base gaming state”, and “3, 3, 3” and “5, 5” of production symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3. 5" and "7.7.7" stop display suggests a jackpot game state that becomes a "high probability high base game state", but also suggests the number of round games. can be For example, a jackpot game state in which a jackpot game with a relatively small number of rounds is executed and a jackpot game state with a relatively large number of rounds are provided, and production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are "1.1.1" and " 2.2.2", "4.4.4", "6.6.6" and "8.8.8" stop displays suggest a jackpot gaming state with a relatively small number of rounds. , the stop display of any of "3.3.3", "5.5.5" and "7.7.7" of the production symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3 indicates a jackpot game state with a relatively large number of rounds. You can suggest it.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the change of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 to the "specific jackpot mode" in the "re-lottery performance" includes the "switching success performance" accompanied by the "button push" in addition to the "successful stop performance." , and when it is performed by the ``change effect'', but only one of the ``switching success effect'' and the ``change effect'' accompanied by the ``button push'' is performed. Alternatively, neither the "successful switching effect" nor the "change effect" accompanied by the "button push" may be performed.

Further, in the first embodiment, the "re-lottery effect" is performed in the special figure variation effect, but it may be performed in the jackpot effect mode.

In addition, in the first embodiment, "re-lottery effect" (effect pattern A, effect pattern B, effect pattern C, effect pattern G) including "stop fanning" is added at the end of "SP reach" with "4.4. 4", "6.6.6" and "8.8.8" are always performed when any one of the temporary jackpot modes of "8.8.8" is stopped, but it is not performed at a predetermined rate. You can do it. For example, at the end of "SP reach", when any of the temporary jackpot modes of "4, 4, 4", "6, 6, 6" and "8, 8, 8" are stopped and displayed, "Stop fanning ” (effect pattern D, effect pattern E, effect pattern F, effect pattern H) may be performed at a predetermined rate. In this case, it is preferable that the ``re-lottery effect'' not including the ``stop stimulus'' is performed at a smaller rate than the ``re-lottery effect'' including the ``stop stimulus''.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the "re-lottery effect" (effect pattern D, effect pattern E, effect pattern F, effect pattern H) that does not include "stop fanning" is added to the end of "SP reach" with "1 1 · 1" and "2, 2, 2" are always stopped when the temporary jackpot mode is displayed, but it may not be performed at a predetermined rate. For example, at the end of "SP reach", when any of the provisional jackpot modes of "1.1.1" and "2.2.2" are stopped and displayed, "re-lottery effect" including "stop fanning" (Effect pattern A, effect pattern B, effect pattern C, effect pattern G) may be performed at a predetermined rate. In this case, it is preferable that the ``re-lottery effect'' including the ``stop stimulus'' is performed at a smaller rate than the ``re-lottery effect'' not including the ``stop stimulus''.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the "SPSP fanning fluctuation" is performed based on the type of variation pattern of the special figure, but may be performed based on the type of stop pattern of the special figure. . For example, when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning" and the type of the stop pattern of the special symbol is "jackpot W4 pattern", "SPSP fanning change" may be performed. In this case, it is possible to suggest a "high probability high base game state" by the "SPSP fanning fluctuation", which makes it possible to increase the interest in the game.

In addition, in the second embodiment, in the "SPSP fanning fluctuation", the production patterns EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are superimposed and displayed on the panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c. The images to be superimposed and displayed are not limited to this. For example, a strong enemy character image G202 representing a strong enemy character appearing in "SPSP Reach" may be superimposed and displayed on the panel images G401a, G401b, and G401c.

Further, in the second embodiment, the "proliferation notice" is performed based on the type of variation pattern of the special figure, but it may be performed based on the type of stop symbol of the special figure. For example, when the result of the jackpot determination is "jackpot winning" and the type of the stop symbol of the special symbol is "jackpot W4 symbol", the "progress notice" may be performed. In this case, it is possible to suggest that a "high-probability, high-base game state" will be entered by the "progression notice", thereby making it possible to increase the amusement of the game.

Further, in the second embodiment, in the "progress notice", the augmented images displayed in the first adjacent region RR1, the second adjacent region RR2, and the third adjacent region RR3 are the same size as the image displayed in the reduced region RS. Although the image is displayed in a smaller size, it may be displayed in a size different from that of the image displayed in the reduced area RS.

Further, in the second embodiment, in the "growth notice", the same image as the image displayed in the reduced region RS is used as the augmented image displayed in the first adjacent region RR1, the second adjacent region RR2, and the third adjacent region RR3. is displayed, an image similar to the image displayed in the reduced area RS may be displayed. For example, the main character in the first adjacent region RR1 and the main character in the reduced region RS may have different facial expressions and complexions, or the main character in the second adjacent region RR2 and the main character in the first adjacent region may be different. The facial expression, complexion, etc. may be different from that of the main character of RR1.

Further, in the second embodiment, in the "progression notice", all the images displayed in the reduced region RS are the augmented images displayed in the first adjacent region RR1, the second adjacent region RR2, and the third adjacent region RR3. Although the image is displayed, at least a part of the image displayed in the reduced area RS may be displayed. For example, only the sword image G502 representing the sword held by the character may be displayed in any of the reduced area RS, the first adjacent area RR1, the second adjacent area RR2, and the third adjacent area RR3.

In addition, in the second embodiment, only 48 augmented images are displayed in the "progress advance notice", but the number of augmented images is not limited to this. For example, after 24 growth images are displayed in the third adjacent region RR3, the background image G500 for warning of growth of the reduced region RS, the first adjacent region RR1, the second adjacent region RR2, and the third adjacent region RR3, The main character image G200 and the frame image G501 may be reduced, and the augmented image may be added and displayed in a newly generated adjacent area.

Also, in the second embodiment, the 3D image is realized by stereoscopic vision by the parallax barrier method, but stereoscopic vision may be realized by other methods such as the frame sequential method and the polarization method.

Further, in the basic embodiment, the normal background image G102 is displayed in both the "low-probability low-base game state" and the "high-probability low-base game state". ” and the “high probability low base game state” may be displayed with different backgrounds. For example, in the "high-probability low base game state", a background including an image suggesting the high-probability state may be displayed.

In addition, in the basic embodiment, only the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a in parallel with the variable display of the special symbols. Other symbols may be variably displayed on the display section 50a. In this case, it is preferable to make the sizes of the other symbols smaller than the sizes of the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2 and EZ3.

In addition, in the basic embodiment, only the performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are variably displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 in parallel with the variable display of the special symbols. In parallel with EZ3, on a display device other than the image display device 50, other symbols may be variably displayed. For example, a dedicated LED for variably displaying other symbols may be installed on the game board 1 so that the dedicated LED blinks during the variably displaying performance symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3.

In addition, in the basic embodiment, the first special figure and the second special figure are not variably displayed at the same time, and only one of them is variably displayed. At the same time, they may be variably displayed.

Further, in the basic embodiment, the progress of the game and the effect are controlled by separate control units, but the progress of the game and the effect may be controlled by one control unit. . For example, both the progress of the game and the presentation may be controlled only by the main control section 100 .

Also, the game machine of the present invention can be applied to other pinball game machines such as an arrange ball machine and a mahjong game machine.
