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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Below the image display device 5, a winning ball device 6A and a variable winning ball device 6B are provided.

Winning ball device 6A, for example, forms a first starting winning opening that is kept in a constant open state in which game balls can enter, for example, by a predetermined ball receiving member. When a game ball enters the first start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the first special game can be started.

The variable winning ball device 6B (ordinary electric accessory) forms a second starting winning hole that changes between a closed state and an open state by a solenoid 81 (see FIG. 2). The variable winning ball device 6B is provided with, for example, an electric tulip-shaped accessory having a pair of movable winglets. comes close to the winning ball device 6A, and the closed state in which the game balls do not enter the second starting winning opening (also referred to as the second starting winning opening being closed). On the other hand, the variable winning ball device 6B is in an open state in which the game ball can enter the second start winning opening (second start It is also said that the prize-winning mouth is open.). When the game ball enters the second start winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, three) of prize balls are paid out, and the second special game can be started. Note that the variable winning ball device 6B may be any device that changes between a closed state and an open state, and is not limited to a device provided with an electric tulip-shaped accessory.

At predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, four positions on the left and right sides of the game area), there are provided general winning holes 10 which are always kept open by predetermined ball receiving members. In this case, when the player enters one of the general winning openings 10, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Below the winning ball device 6A and the variable winning ball device 6B, a special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning hole is provided. The special variable winning ball device 7 is provided with a large winning opening door that is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 (see FIG. 2), and the special winning opening as a specific area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the large winning opening door. Form.

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

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

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

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

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

Above the normal pattern display 20, a normal pattern holding display 25C is provided. The general pattern suspension display 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the normal pattern suspension storage number, which is the number of general pattern games whose execution is suspended, by the number of lit LEDs.

The surface of the game board 2 is provided with, in addition to the above structure, a windmill for changing the flowing direction and speed of the game ball and a large number of obstacle nails. At the bottom of the game area, an out port is provided for taking in game balls that have not entered any of the winning ports.

Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the game machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 for game effects is provided at the periphery of the game area. ing. The game effect lamp 9 includes an LED.

At a predetermined position (not shown in FIG. 1) of the game board 2, a movable body 32 that operates according to the performance is provided.

A ball hitting operation handle (operation knob) 30 operated by a player or the like to shoot a game ball toward the game area by the ball shooting device is provided at the lower right portion of the game machine frame 3 .

At a predetermined position of the game machine frame 3 below the game area, game balls paid out as prize balls and game balls lent from a predetermined ball lending machine are held (stored) so as to be supplied to the ball shooting device. ) is provided with a batted ball supply plate (upper plate). Below the upper plate, there is provided a batted ball supply plate (lower plate) from which prize balls are dispensed when the upper plate is full.

A stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by a player is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area. The stick controller 31A is provided with a trigger button that can be pressed by the player. An operation on the stick controller 31A is detected by a controller sensor unit 35A (see FIG. 2).

At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the game area, there is provided a push button 31B that allows the player to perform a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation. An operation on the push button 31B is detected by a push sensor 35B (see FIG. 2).

The pachinko game machine 1 is provided with a stick controller 31A and a push button 31B as detection means for detecting actions (operations, etc.) of the player, but detection means other than these may be provided.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the jackpot game state, the jackpot formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened in a predetermined manner. The open state is the timing of the elapse of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 1.8 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the big winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). It will continue until whichever comes first. The predetermined period is an upper limit period during which the big winning opening can be opened in one round, and is hereinafter also referred to as an upper limit opening period. One cycle in which the big winning opening is opened in this way is called a round (round game). In the jackpot game state, the round can be repeatedly executed until it reaches a predetermined upper limit number of times (15 times or 2 times).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the display result of the special game is "Loss", the variable display mode of the decorative pattern does not become the ready-to-win mode, and the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination (" Also referred to as "non-reach loss".) may be stopped (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern becomes "non-reach loss"). In addition, when the display result is "losing", after the mode of variable display of the decorative pattern becomes the ready-to-win mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a predetermined ready-to-win combination ("reach losing") that is not a big hit combination. (Also called) fixed decorative pattern is displayed stop (the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "reach lost").

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The variation pattern setting process of step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "1". In this variation pattern setting process, one of a plurality of variation patterns is selected using random numbers for determining the variation pattern based on the result of pre-determination as to whether the display result is a "big hit" or a "small hit." including the process of determining In the variation pattern setting process, when the variation pattern is determined, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "2", and the variation pattern setting process ends.

The variation pattern is the execution time of the special game (special figure fluctuation time) (also the execution time of variable display of decorative patterns), the form of variable display of decorative patterns (whether or not there is a reach, etc.), and the variable display of decorative patterns. It specifies the content of the production (type of reach production, etc.), and is also called a variable display pattern.

The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "2". This special symbol variation processing includes a process of setting for varying the special symbols in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure Also, it is determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached the special figure variation time corresponding to the variation pattern. Then, when the elapsed time from the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to "3", and the special symbol variation processing ends.

The special symbol stop processing of step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is "3". In this special symbol stop processing, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B stop the variation of the special symbol, and stop display (derivate) the fixed special symbol which is the display result of the special symbol. It includes a process to set for Then, when the display result is "big hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the display result is "small hit", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "8". Moreover, when the display result is "losing", the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0". When the display result is "small hit" or "losing", when it is controlled to the time saving state or the probability variable state, and when the end of the number cut is established, the game state is also updated. When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the special symbol stop processing ends.

The jackpot opening preprocessing of step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "4". This jackpot opening pre-processing includes processing for making settings for starting a round in the jackpot game state and opening the jackpot, based on the fact that the display result is a "jackpot". is When opening the big winning opening, a process of supplying a solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door is executed. At this time, for example, an upper limit opening period for opening the big winning opening and an upper limit execution number of rounds are set according to the type of the jackpot. When these settings are completed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "5", and the big hit opening pretreatment is completed.

The process during jackpot opening of step S115 is performed when the value of a special figure process flag is "5". In this process during the opening of the big win, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning hole, and based on the measured elapsed time and the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, the big winning hole is counted. It includes processing for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the large winning opening to the closed state, after executing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the large winning opening door, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "6", The process during jackpot opening is terminated.

The jackpot opening post-processing of step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "6". This jackpot opening post-processing includes processing for determining whether or not the number of executions of rounds in which the jackpot is opened has reached a set upper limit execution count, and a jackpot gaming state when the upper limit execution count is reached. It includes processing to make settings for terminating . Then, when the number of executions of the round has not reached the upper limit number of executions, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5", while when the number of executions of the round reaches the upper limit number of executions, the special process flag The value is updated to "7". When the value of the special figure process flag is updated, the jackpot release post-processing ends.

The jackpot end processing of step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "7". This jackpot end processing includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending production is executed as a production operation for notifying the end of the jackpot game state, and a probability change corresponding to the end of the jackpot game state. It includes processing for performing various settings for starting control and time saving control. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the jackpot ending process ends.

Small hit opening pretreatment of step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "8". This small hit opening pre-processing includes a process of setting to open the big winning opening in the small win game state based on the display result being "small win". At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "9", and the small hit opening preprocessing ends.

Small hit during opening processing of step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "9". In this process during opening of the small prize, there is a process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, and the timing of returning the big winning opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time. It includes processing for determining whether or not When the big winning opening is returned to the closed state and the end timing of the small winning game state comes, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "10", and the small winning open processing is ended.

Small hit end processing of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "10". This small-hit end processing includes processing of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to the period in which the performance operation for informing the end of the small-hit game state is executed elapses. Here, when the small winning game state ends, the game state in the pachinko game machine 1 before entering the small winning game state is continued. When the waiting time at the end of the small winning game state has passed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "0", and the small winning end processing ends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Description of Characteristic Portion 01TM]
Next, the characteristic portion 01TM will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-1 to 8-40.
In this embodiment, when a predetermined jackpot occurs among a plurality of types of jackpots, an image is displayed using the image display device 5 or a light-emitting device provided in the big winning opening before being controlled to the jackpot game state. It is possible to execute an effect (line-of-sight guidance display effect, line-of-sight light emission effect) to draw the player's attention from the display device 5 toward the big winning hole, and when the jackpot game state is controlled, the image display device 5 and the large winning hole are displayed. Using the light-emitting device provided in the winning opening, it is possible to execute an effect (attacker open display effect, attacker open light emitting effect) from the big winning opening toward the image display device 5 .

[Board composition]
FIG. 8-1 is a front view of the pachinko game machine in this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 8-1, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in the game area, the first path out of the flow paths along which the game balls flow is mainly located in the area on the left side of the image display device 5 when viewed from the front. A second route, which is different from the first route, is mainly provided in a region on the right side of the image display device 5 as viewed from the front.

Hitting a game ball into the left area (left game area) of the image display device 5 in order to cause the game ball to flow down the first path is called left hitting. Hitting a game ball into the right area (right game area) of the image display device 5 in order to cause the game ball to flow down the second path is called right hitting. The first path may be called a left-handed path because it is a path that allows the game ball to flow down by striking the game ball to the left side of the game area. Also, the second path may be called a right-handed path because it is a path that allows the game ball to flow down by striking the game ball to the right side of the game area.

Note that the first route and the second route may be composed of separate routes, or may be routes that are partly shared. The left game area and the right game area may be separated by, for example, the end face of the image display device 5 and the arrangement of the game nails in the game area.

The game ball fired from the ball shooting device in response to the operation of the ball operating handle 30 and hit into the game area is guided to the left game area along, for example, the arrangement of the game nails. As a result, it becomes impossible or difficult to guide to the right game area. In addition, when the game ball is guided to the right game area, it becomes impossible or difficult to guide it to the left game area by being guided along the arrangement of the game nails, for example.

A winning ball device 6A that constitutes a first start winning hole is provided as a structure into which game balls that are hit in the left game area of the game areas can enter.

Structures into which game balls hit into the right game area of the game areas can enter include a passage gate 41, a variable winning ball device 6B that constitutes a second start winning opening, and a special variable winning ball device 6B that constitutes a large winning opening. A winning ball device 7 is provided.

Therefore, when aiming for the game ball to enter the winning ball device 6A, the player can hit the game ball to the left. Also, in the right game area, game nails are planted so that game balls are guided to the variable winning ball device 6B, the passage gate 41, and the special variable winning ball device 7 among the winning opening structures. Therefore, when aiming to make the game ball enter the variable winning ball device 6B, the passage gate 41, and the special variable winning ball device 7, the player can hit the game ball to the right.

It should be noted that although it may be arranged that there is a possibility that a game ball hit into the right game area may enter the winning ball device 6A, from the point of view of game performance, the possibility is limited to a game ball hit into the left game area. It is desirable to make them extremely low compared to the likelihood of a ball entering them. Conversely, it may be possible that game balls hit into the left game area may enter the passage gate 41 and the variable winning ball device 6B, but from the point of view of playability, that possibility is limited to the right. It is desirable to extremely lower the possibility of game balls hit into the game areas entering them.

It becomes impossible to enter (pass through) the mouth. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the solenoid for the big winning opening door is in the ON state, the big winning opening door opens the big winning opening, making it easier for the game balls to enter the big winning opening. .

When the game balls enter the big winning hole, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. When the game balls enter the big winning hole, more prize balls are paid out than when the game balls enter the first starting winning hole, the second starting winning hole and the general winning hole 10, for example.

In this embodiment, a V winning opening and a discharge opening downstream of the V winning opening are provided in the big winning opening. A variable V winning ball device (V lid) is provided upstream of the V winning opening. The variable V winning ball device changes between a closed state and an open state by means of a solenoid. That is, the game ball flowing down in the big winning hole can pass through the V winning hole when the variable V winning ball device is in the open state, and can pass through the V winning hole when the variable V winning ball device is in the closed state. It shall flow down to the outlet without being able to do so.

The main board 11 includes a V switch (not shown) that can detect that a game ball has passed through a V winning port provided downstream of the big winning port via a switch circuit 110, and a discharge port where a game ball passes through. An ejection switch (not shown) capable of detecting passage is provided.

8-2 (C1) and FIG. 8-2 (C2) are explanatory diagrams showing the [first special symbol] jackpot type determination table and [second special symbol] jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101 is. Of these, FIG. 8-2 (C1) determines the jackpot type using the reserved memory based on the game ball winning the first start winning port (that is, when the variable display of the first special symbol is performed) This is a table for when In addition, FIG. 8-2 (C2) determines the jackpot type using the reserved memory based on the game ball winning the second start winning port (that is, when the variable display of the second special symbol is performed) This is a table of cases.

The jackpot type determination table selects jackpot types as jackpot A, jackpot B, jackpot X, and jackpot based on a random number (MR2) for jackpot type decision when it is determined that the variable display result should be a jackpot pattern. This is a table referred to for determining one of Y, jackpot Z (jackpot Z-1, jackpot Z-2) (see FIG. 8-3).

Here, the jackpot types in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8-3 (A) and (B). In this embodiment, as the jackpot type, after the jackpot game state ends, the time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 100 variable displays, and after the jackpot game state ends, a maximum of 70 times of variable display. Jackpot B, jackpot X, jackpot Y, and jackpot Z-1 in which time-saving control is executed over a period of time, and jackpot Z in which time-saving control is executed over a maximum of 10000 variable displays after the end of the jackpot game state -2 and are provided.

In addition, these jackpot A, jackpot B, jackpot X, jackpot Y, jackpot Z-1, and jackpot Z-2 enter the V winning port after the game ball enters the big winning port in the first round of the jackpot game state. By doing so, it is also a big win in which probability variable control is executed over a maximum of 70 times of variable display after the end of the big win game. Further, in the present embodiment, a control state in which variable probability control is not executed is appropriately referred to as "non-variable probability control", "low probability control", or the like.

In this embodiment, the open state of the variable V winning ball device (V lid) is a short open state (for example, 0.1 seconds) with a short open period, and a long open state with a long open period. (eg, 15 seconds). In the jackpot A and jackpot Z-2, the variable V winning ball device is in a short open state in the first round of the jackpot game state, and in the jackpot B, jackpot X, jackpot Y, and jackpot Z-2, the first round of the jackpot game state. It is assumed that the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state at the eye.

The jackpot game state of "jackpot A" is a normal open jackpot that changes the jackpot to an open state advantageous to the player in the 1st to 3rd rounds. In addition, in the "jackpot A", since the variable V winning ball device is in a short open state in the first round, it is extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control is not executed. Since it cannot be expected, it becomes a substantial normal jackpot.

In this "jackpot A", although it is irregular, when the game ball enters the V winning hole, probability variable control is executed over a maximum of 70 variable displays. Therefore, in this case, after variable probability control and time saving control are executed over 70 times of variable display at maximum, non-variable probability control and time saving control are executed over 30 times of variable display at maximum.

The jackpot game state by "jackpot B" is a normal open jackpot that changes the jackpot to an open state advantageous to the player in the first to third rounds. In addition, in the "jackpot B", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so that it is extremely easy for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control can be executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

The big win game state by the "big win X" is a normal open big win in which the big win opening is changed to an open state advantageous to the player in the 1st to 4th rounds. In addition, in the "jackpot X", since the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, it is extremely easy for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control can be executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

The jackpot game state by "jackpot Y" is a normal open jackpot that changes the jackpot to an open state advantageous to the player in the first to seventh rounds. In addition, in the "jackpot Y", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so that it is extremely easy for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control can be executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

The jackpot game state by "jackpot Z-1" is a normal open jackpot that changes the jackpot to an open state advantageous to the player in the 1st to 10th rounds. In addition, in the "big hit Z-1", the variable V winning ball device is in the long open state in the first round, so that it is extremely easy to let the game ball enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control is executed. Since it can be expected, it will be a substantial hit.

The jackpot game state by "jackpot Z-2" is a normal open jackpot that changes the jackpot to an open state advantageous to the player in the 1st to 10th rounds. In addition, in the "jackpot Z-2", since the variable V winning ball device is in a short open state in the first round, it is extremely difficult for the game ball to enter the V winning hole, and variable probability control is executed. Since it cannot be expected, it becomes a substantial normal jackpot. However, in the "jackpot Z-2", although the variable probability control is not executed, the time saving control is executed over a maximum of 10,000 variable displays after the jackpot game state is ended, so that the next big hit is substantial.

In this embodiment, the jackpot types including the "jackpot Z-1" and "jackpot Z-2" are referred to as "jackpot Z". The “jackpot Z” is a jackpot type in which the maximum number of jackpot rounds is 10 rounds and the maximum number of prize balls is provided during the jackpot.

In this embodiment, six types of "jackpot A", "jackpot B", "jackpot X", "jackpot Y", "jackpot Z-1", and "jackpot Z-2" are provided as jackpot types. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and six or less types of jackpot types or six or more types may be provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (C1), in the [first special symbol] jackpot type determination table, 0 to 149 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 are "jackpot A", 150 to 299 are assigned to "jackpot B". On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8-2 (C2), in the [second special symbol] jackpot type determination table, 0 to 149 out of the range 0 to 299 of the determination value of MR2 are "jackpot X". , 150 to 254 are assigned to "jackpot Y", 255 to 290 are assigned to "jackpot Z-1", and 291 to 299 are assigned to "jackpot Z-2".

That is, in the present embodiment, when the variable special symbol is the first special symbol, the game ball is likely to enter the V winning opening in the first round of the big hit game state at a rate of 50%, so that the big hit Both the variable probability control and the time saving control are implemented after the end of the game. Furthermore, when the variable special symbol is the second special symbol, the game ball is likely to enter the V winning opening in the first round of the big hit game state with a probability of about 97%, so that the game ball is easily changed after the big hit game ends. Both control and time saving control are implemented.

In this example, even in the case of "jackpot A" or "jackpot Z-2", it is possible to win the V prize when the V cover is in the short-open state, but it is extremely rare. In the case of "jackpot A" or "jackpot Z-2", it is assumed that the V prize is not won and the variable probability control is not executed. In addition, even if "big win B", "big win X", "big win Y", or "big win Z-1" is achieved, the V prize cannot be won when the V cover is in the long open state. is possible, but extremely rare, so in the case of "jackpot B", "jackpot X", "jackpot Y", or "jackpot Z-1", it is assumed that the V prize is executed and the variable probability control is executed. explain.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, as shown in the description of the jackpot type in FIG. 8-3, the number of times of variable probability control and the number of times of time saving control showed an example that is common regardless of the gaming state, such The number of times of variable probability control and the number of times of time saving control may be changed according to the game state.

For example, as described above, when the variable display of the first special symbol is originally controlled to the low base state in which the variable display should be mainly executed, the variable display of the first special symbol is executed, and the display result of the variable display becomes "big hit B", time saving control is executed over a maximum of 70 variable displays after the end of the big win game state. On the other hand, when the variable display of the second special symbol is originally controlled to the high base state in which the variable display should be mainly executed, the variable display of the first special symbol is executed, and the display result of the variable display is "big hit B". , the time saving control may be executed over a maximum of 570 variable displays after the end of the jackpot game state. According to such a configuration, even if the variable display of the first special symbol is executed while the high base state is being controlled, and the display result of the variable display is a "jackpot". , As the number of times of time saving control, the number of times (570 times at maximum) larger than the usual "maximum 100 times" is given, and it is possible to prevent the player from becoming too disadvantageous.

In the present embodiment, the jackpot type is determined using MR2, which is a random number for judging the jackpot type, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the jackpot type is determined by special figure display result determination. It may be determined using MR1, which is a random value for .

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (4A), at the timing when the CPU 103 terminates the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 that has received the symbol confirmation designation command displays the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the final combination of decorative symbols ("223" in this example) is determined and stopped. At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c and 5r of the image display device 5, the combination of small patterns ("223" in this example) is confirmed and stopped. At this time, the active display 01TM03 is erased from the active display area 01TM03E.

(high-speed reach jackpot)
On the other hand, in FIG. 8-5 (3B), at the timing when the decorative symbols in the variation pattern should be stopped and displayed, the effect control CPU 120 displays the decorative symbols in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in which the display result is "big win". ("222" in this example) is stopped. At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, 5r, the variable display of the small patterns is executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-5 (4B), at the timing when the CPU 103 terminates the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 that has received the symbol confirmation designation command displays the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the final combination of decorative symbols ("222" in this example) is determined and stopped. At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c and 5r of the image display device 5, the combination of small patterns ("222" in this example) is confirmed and stopped. At this time, the active display 01TM03 is erased from the active display area 01TM03E.

In this example, when the ready-to-win state is set, the decorative patterns are stopped and displayed in the pattern display area 5L and the pattern display area 5C of the image display device 5 to set the ready-to-win state, and the decorative patterns are displayed in the pattern display area 5R of the image display device 5. is stopped to notify the display result. According to such a configuration, a variation pattern with a short variation time is likely to be selected, and in the time-saving state of the present embodiment in which the variation display can be digested at a fast tempo, from the establishment of the ready-to-win state to the notification of the display result, the player The line of sight of the image display device 5 can be directed in a straight line from the left part of the screen center to the right part of the screen center, and the interest in the time saving state of the present embodiment in which the variable display can be digested at a fast tempo can be improved.

When the ready-to-win state is set, the decorative patterns are stopped and displayed in the pattern display area 5L and the pattern display area 5R of the image display device 5 to set the ready-to-win state, and the decorative patterns are stopped in the pattern display area 5C of the image display device 5. The display result may be notified by displaying.

[Example of production of variation pattern with super reach A]
FIG. 8-6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an effect image displayed on the image display device 5 when the variation pattern of "Super reach A lost/jackpot" is selected in this embodiment.

First, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (1), when the CPU 103 starts the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 determines the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command (in this example, " Based on "super reach A loss" or "super reach A big hit"), the reduced pattern display areas 5Ls and 5Rs of the image display device 5 are reduced at the timing to establish the reach state in the variation pattern and develop to the super reach A. The ready-to-win state is set by stopping and displaying the decoration pattern ("2" in this example). At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns. Other effect images are the same as those in FIG. 8-5, so the description is omitted.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a battle effect. Here, along with the execution of the battle presentation, the image display device 5 is caused to display the friend character 01TM20, the enemy character 01TM21, and the characters "VS".

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-6(2), the effect control CPU 120 displays the first operation prompting display in a state where the friend character is attacking the enemy character in the battle effect. In this example, a friend character 01TM20 and an enemy character 01TM21 are displayed in the central portion of the screen of the image display device 5, and a battle effect image 01TM23 indicating that the outcome of the battle is decided is displayed. A time bar 01TM30T for notifying the remaining period during which the operation of the push button 31B is valid is displayed in the central portion together with the first operation prompting display 01TM30. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

Since the first operation promotion display 01TM30 and the time bar 01TM30T are images with a higher display priority (the display layer is higher) than the background image and the super ready-to-win effect (battle effect) image, the player sees the background image as the background image. And it looks like it is displayed in front of the super reach effect (battle effect) image.

From this state, it shifts to either state of FIG. 8-6 (3A) or (3B) corresponding to the variation pattern. If the variation pattern is "super reach A miss", move to FIG. 8-6 (3A), if the variation pattern is "super reach A jackpot", move to FIG. 8-6 (3B) do.

In FIG. 8-6 (3A), the effect control CPU 120 executes a defeat effect at the timing when the push button 31B is operated by the player, causing the image display device 5 to display the friend character 01TM20 as the enemy character 01TM21. In addition to displaying an image of a defeated state, the characters "defeated" are displayed in the central part of the image display device 5, and a combination of decorative patterns ( In this example, "232") is stopped and displayed. At this time, the reduced decorative designs are erased from the reduced design display areas 5Ls and 5Rs. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (4A), at the timing when the CPU 103 terminates the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 having received the symbol confirmation designation command displays the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the final combination of decorative symbols ("232" in this example) is determined and stopped. At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c and 5r of the image display device 5, the combination of small patterns ("232" in this example) is confirmed and stopped.

(Super reach A jackpot)
On the other hand, in FIG. 8-6 (3B), the effect control CPU 120 executes the victory effect at the timing when the push button 31B is operated by the player, and the image display device 5 displays the friend character 01TM20 as the enemy character. An image of winning 01TM21 is displayed, characters of "victory" are displayed in the central part of the image display device 5, and decorative patterns with a display result of "big hit" are displayed in the pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. The combination ("222" in this example) is stopped and displayed. At this time, the reduced decorative designs are erased from the reduced design display areas 5Ls and 5Rs. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-6 (4B), at the timing when the CPU 103 terminates the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 having received the symbol confirmation designation command displays the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the final combination of decorative symbols ("222" in this example) is determined and stopped. At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c and 5r of the image display device 5, the combination of small patterns ("222" in this example) is confirmed and stopped.

First, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (1), when the CPU 103 starts the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 determines the variation pattern specified by the variation pattern specification command (in this example, " Variation display of decorative patterns is started in the pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the image display device 5 based on "Super reach B loss via high speed non-reach" or "Super reach B big hit via high speed non-reach"). At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5, the variable display of the small patterns is started. Other effect images are the same as those in FIG. 8-5, so the description is omitted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (2), at the timing when the decorative symbols in the variation pattern should be temporarily stopped and displayed, the output control CPU 120 causes the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R to indicate that the display result is "missing". A combination of decorative symbols ("432" in this example) suggesting that the combination is temporarily stopped and displayed. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (3), at the timing to establish the ready-to-win state in the variation pattern and develop to super reach B, the effect control CPU 120 controls the reduced pattern display area 5Ls of the image display device 5 and A ready-to-win state is set by stopping and displaying a reduced decorative pattern ("4" in this example) at 5Rs. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a challenge effect. Here, the characters of "one shot challenge" are displayed along with the execution of the challenge presentation.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7(4), a first operation prompting display is displayed in a state in which a friendly character holding a hammer is attacking the rock image in the challenge presentation. In this example, in the state where the image display device 5 displays the ally character 01TM20 and the rock image 01TM24, the first operation prompting display 01TM30 is displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, and the operation of the push button 31B remains valid. A time bar 01TM30T for notifying the period is displayed. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

Since the first operation prompting display 01TM30 and the time bar 01TM30T are images with a higher display priority (the display layer is higher) than the background image and the super reach effect (challenge effect) image, the player does not see the background image as the background image. And it looks like it is displayed in front of the super reach effect (battle effect) image.

From this state, it shifts to either state of FIG. 8-7 (5A) or (5B) corresponding to the variation pattern. If the variation pattern is "super reach B lost via high speed non-reach", move to FIG. 8-7 (5A), and if the variation pattern is "super reach B big hit via high speed non reach", Move to 8-7 (5B).

(Super reach B is lost via high-speed non-reach)
In FIG. 8-7 (5A), at the timing when the push button 31B is operated by the player, the effect control CPU 120 executes a failure effect, causing the image display device 5 to The character "failure" is displayed, and the combination of decoration patterns ("454" in this example) that results in a display result of "failure" is stopped and displayed in the pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R. At this time, the reduced decorative designs are erased from the reduced design display areas 5Ls and 5Rs. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (6A), at the timing when the CPU 103 terminates the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 having received the symbol confirmation designation command displays the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the final combination of decorative symbols ("454" in this example) is determined and stopped. At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c and 5r of the image display device 5, the combination of small patterns ("454" in this example) is confirmed and stopped.

(Super reach B jackpot via high-speed non-reach)
On the other hand, in FIG. 8-7 (5B), at the timing when the push button 31B is operated by the player, the effect control CPU 120 executes the success effect and displays the image display device 5 in the center of the image display device 5. A character "success" is displayed in the part, and a combination of decoration patterns ("444" in this example) that results in a "jackpot" display result is stopped in the pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. At this time, the reduced decorative designs are erased from the reduced design display areas 5Ls and 5Rs. At this time, the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r continue to variably display the small patterns.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-7 (6B), at the timing when the CPU 103 terminates the variable display of the second special symbol, the effect control CPU 120 having received the symbol confirmation designation command displays the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. Then, the final combination of decorative symbols ("444" in this example) is determined and stopped. At this time, in the small pattern display areas 5l, 5c and 5r of the image display device 5, the combination of small patterns ("444" in this example) is confirmed and stopped.

[Game flow]
Next, the game flow in this embodiment will be described. In this example, the production mode when the game state is controlled to the normal state (low probability / low base state) is [normal mode], and the game state is controlled to the time saving state (low probability / high base state) The production mode when the number of times of control of this time saving state is 100 times at maximum is set as [revenge mode], and the game state is controlled to a probability variable state (high probability / high base state), and this probability variable state The production mode when the number of times of control is 70 times at maximum is [Battle Rush Mode], and the game state is controlled to a time saving state (low probability / high base state), and the control number of time saving state is maximum 10000 times, the production mode is set to [Battle Rush Mode] or [Super Battle Rush Mode] (see FIG. 8-8).

In the present embodiment, when a game ball wins in the probability variable region due to the occurrence of a big hit, (1) the time saving control is performed a specified number of times, and (2) the probability variable control is performed a specified number of times. ”. Hereinafter, it will be referred to as “ST state” and “ST” as appropriate.

In the example of the game flow shown in FIG. 8-8, when the production mode is [normal mode], a big hit occurs, and after the end of the big hit game state, it is controlled to a time saving state (low probability / high base state), [Revenge Mode] (100 rotations) or [Battle Rush Mode] (70 rotations), and when a big hit occurs, [Battle Rush Mode] (70 rotations) or [Super Battle Rush Mode] (10000 rotations) , and shifts to [Normal Mode] when a big hit does not occur.

(1) When the game state is controlled to the normal state (low probability/low base state), the production mode is set to [normal mode].

(2) In the state of (1) described above, when a variable display is executed in which the display result is "big win", the game is controlled to a big win game state. In the present embodiment, there are "jackpot A" and "jackpot B" as the jackpot types of the first special symbol, and the 3R jackpot is an example of the effect when the jackpot types are "jackpot A" or "jackpot B". The characters "FEVER" are displayed on the image display device 5 to notify that.

In this example, (2) an effect for informing which jackpot type the jackpot is during the jackpot round (for example, a direction for whether or not an icon showing the characters “Battle Rush” can be obtained). is executed, and the player is informed of which performance mode the control will be in after the end of the big win game state.

(3) When the above-mentioned (2) jackpot type is "jackpot A", when the jackpot ends, the game state is controlled to a time-saving state (low probability/high base state), and 100 times The production mode when the variable display of is executed is set to [revenge mode]. As an example of an effect when the effect mode is the [revenge mode], the image display device 5 displays characters of "revenge mode" to notify that the effect mode will shift to the [revenge mode].

In the state (3), when the variable display is executed 100 times in the time-saving state in which all the display results are "off", the state is controlled to the state (1).

(4) When the above-mentioned (2) jackpot type is "jackpot B", when the jackpot ends, the effect control CPU 120 controls the game state to the variable probability state (high probability/high base state), and 70 times. The production mode when the variable display of is executed is set to [battle rush mode]. As an example of an effect when the effect mode is the [battle rush mode], the characters "battle rush mode" are displayed on the image display device 5 to notify that the effect mode will shift to the [battle rush mode].

In the state of (4), when 70 times of variable display in the variable probability state in which all the display results are "miss" is executed, the state is controlled to the state of (1).

(5) If the production mode is [revenge mode] (see (3)), if it is [battle rush mode] (see (4)), or in [battle rush mode] or [super battle rush mode] In some cases (see (6) described later), when the display result of any of the variable displays is "big win", the game state is controlled to a big win game state. In this embodiment, there are "jackpot X", "jackpot Y", "jackpot Z-1", and "jackpot Z-2" as the jackpot types of the second special symbol when the display result is "jackpot". .

(5A) As an example of the effect when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the image display device 5 displays the effect image (characters "+4R", etc.) during the jackpot round corresponding to the 4R jackpot. , (5B) As an example of the effect when the jackpot type is "jackpot Y", the image display device 5 displays the effect image (such as "+7R" characters) during the jackpot round corresponding to the 7R jackpot. (5C) As an example of a production when the jackpot type is either “jackpot Z-1” or “jackpot Z-2”, a production image (“+10R”) during the jackpot round corresponding to the 10R jackpot ) are displayed on the image display device 5 .

(6) When the jackpot when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z-2" in (5C) described above ends, the effect control CPU 120 controls the game state to a time-saving state (low probability/high base state). Then, when the variable display is executed 70 times, the production mode is set to [Battle Rush Mode], and the game state after this [Battle Rush] is controlled to a time saving state (low probability / high base state), The production mode when the variable display is executed 9930 times is set to [super battle rush mode]. As an example of an effect when the effect mode is the [super battle rush mode], the characters "super battle rush mode" are displayed on the image display device 5 to notify that the effect mode will shift to the [super battle rush mode]. there is

In the state of (6), all the display results are "off", and if the variable display is executed 10,000 times in the time saving state, it is extremely rare to be controlled to the state of (1), so this case is not shown.

[Sound effect type table]
FIG. 8-9 is an explanatory diagram of a specific example of the sound effect type table in this embodiment. The sound effect type table is a storage area for reproducing sound data, and is provided in a storage unit included in the audio control board.

As shown in FIG. 8-9, the sound effect type table consists of 14 channels from "CH0" to "CH13".

Here, the sound data of the effect sound (hereinafter referred to as "effect sound" as appropriate) output by the speakers 8L and 8R includes "stereo data" with a relatively large amount of data and "monaural data" with a relatively small amount of data. data. In this example, music is "stereo data", and sound effects, character voices, winning sounds, and error notification sounds are "monaural data".

In the audio reproduction area, two consecutive channels for storing "stereo data" may or may not form a "pair CH". In this case, "monaural data" is stored in one channel of this "pair CH".

In this embodiment, the sound data of the sound related to the effect (effect sound) is set to be reproduced and output in any one of "CH0" to "CH11". The sound data of the effect sound is stored in a designated channel of 'CH0' to 'CH11' when the timing of reproducing and outputting the effect sound comes, and is erased from the channel when the reproduction is finished.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-9, "CH0" has "sound effect A1" (sound effect related to the first line-of-sight guidance display effect described later), and "CH1" has "sound effect A2" (described later). sound effect related to the second line-of-sight guidance display effect), “sound effect B1” for “CH2” (sound effect related to the first attacker opening display effect described later), “sound effect B2” for “CH3” (described later) (sound effect related to the second attacker open display effect), "sound effect C" for "CH4" (sound effect related to the first part of the movable body effect (pattern A) and the movable body effect (pattern B) described later) ), "CH5" "sound effect D1" (character voice related to the second part of the movable body production (pattern B) described later), "CH6" "sound effect D2" (movable body production (pattern B) Character voice related to the second part), "CH7" to "sound effect D3" (character voice related to the second part of the movable body production (pattern B)), "CH8" to "music X" (for normal state BGM), "Music Y" on "CH9" (BGM for time saving state), "Music Z1" on "CH10" (BGM for big hit round), "Music Z2" on "CH11" (BGM for big hit round ) are stored respectively. Note that the effect sound stored in each channel can be arbitrarily set, and is not limited to this example.

In the present embodiment, “sound effect D1” to “sound effect D3” are reproduced and output as the sound effect when the second part of the movable body effect (pattern B) is executed. In this example, "sound effect D1" is a character voice saying "continuous attack", "sound effect D2" is a character voice saying "not yet", and "sound effect D3" is a character voice saying "I can't finish here". is the voice. The content of this character voice is related to the number of times of remaining time reduction control.

Next, the error notification sound will be explained. The error notification sound in this embodiment includes an abnormal winning error sound and a magnetism detection error sound.

The abnormal winning error sound (error notification sound A) is an error sound detected when a game ball wins at a time other than a predetermined time such as when the special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening is opened. The magnetic detection error sound (error notification sound B) is an error sound that is detected when the magnetic detection sensor connected to the main substrate 11 detects a magnetic force of a predetermined value or more.

Here, the error notification sound has a higher priority to be notified to the player than other effect sounds such as music. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8-9, "CH12" and "CH13" are reserved as fixed channels for reproducing each error notification sound. Specifically, "CH12" stores "Error notification sound A (abnormal winning)", and "CH13" stores "Error notification sound B (magnetism detection)". When any one of these errors is detected, a channel specific to the error notification sound is designated based on the error notification sound reproduction output command for the error that has occurred, and the specified channel is designated. In the channel, monaural data of error notification sound is reproduced and output.

In addition, "basic volume", "channel setting ratio", and "output volume" are set for each channel of "CH0" to "CH13" in the audio reproduction area shown in Fig. 8-9.

The basic volume is a value that indicates the loudness of the sound data itself. The basic sound volume can be set according to the priority to be notified to the player. In this example, the basic volume can be set between "1" and "5". It is assumed that the larger the numerical value of the basic sound volume, the higher the sound pressure level of the output sound (the output sound is emphasized).

Here, as shown in FIG. 8-9, the basic sound volume differs according to the type of effect sound. Specifically, "error notification sound A (abnormal winning)" and "error notification sound B (magnetic detection)" have the maximum basic sound volume of "5". On the other hand, the sound data of the effect sound has a basic volume of "4" or less ("3" or "4"). This is because the effect sound is less likely to be directly related to the player's cheating than the abnormal prize winning error and the magnetism detection error, and has a low priority to be notified to the player.

Further, among the sound data of the sound effect, the basic sound volume differs according to the type of the sound effect. In this example, "sound effect A1" of "CH0", "sound effect A2" of "CH1", "song X" of "CH8", "song Y" of "CH9", and "song Z1" of "CH10" , and “CH11” have a basic sound volume of “3”. On the other hand, "sound effect B1" of "CH2", "sound effect B2" of "CH3", "sound effect C" of "CH4", "sound effect D1" of "CH5", "sound effect of CH6" "D2", "CH7" and "sound effect D3" have a basic volume of "4".

This is because the production sounds related to the attacker opening display production and the movable body production ("sound effect B1", "sound effect B2", "sound effect C", "sound effect D1" to "sound effect D3" are This is to enhance the performance effect by reproducing and outputting the performance sounds (“sound effect A1”, “sound effect A2”, “song X” to “song Z2”) related to the performance in a more emphasized manner.

The channel setting ratio is the volume value specified for each channel. The channel setting ratio can be set from maximum volume "1", which is 100% of the reference output volume, to full mute "0", which is 0% for each channel.

The volume value is the upper limit value (volume value) of the volume that can be output by the pachinko gaming machine 1 . In this example, the master volume can be set between "1" and "5". This volume value can be set to an arbitrary value by the player performing a predetermined operation (for example, pressing the left and right buttons of the performance keys provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1).

The output volume is the volume of sound reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R. The output volume is determined based on the "basic volume" and "channel setting ratio" of the sound data. The output volume is a numerical value obtained by multiplying the "basic volume", the "channel setting ratio", and the "volume value". In this example, the output volume can be set between "0" and "25".

As shown in FIGS. 8-9, error notification sounds with high priority to be notified to the player are reproduced and output by fixed “CH12” and “CH13”. In the fixed channels "CH12" and "CH13", unlike the other channels ("CH0" to "CH11"), the maximum output sound volume is set to a fixed value of "5" and reproduced. Specifically, in "CH12" and "CH13", the volume value is always set to the maximum value without receiving a predetermined operation by the player (for example, pressing the left and right buttons of the effect keys provided in the pachinko game machine 1). is fixed at "5".

<Fade, Mute>
Next, fade (fade-out, fade-in) and mute, which are processes for changing the "output volume", will be explained. These fade-outs, fade-ins, and mutes are executed by changing the "output volume" along with changing the "channel setting ratio" shown in FIGS.

Here, in the fade-out, the output sound volume is gradually decreased by executing the process of gradually decreasing the channel setting ratio of the effect sound being reproduced and outputted from "1 (100%)" to "0 (0%)". is reduced to "0". In fade-in, the output volume is gradually increased by gradually increasing the channel setting ratio of the effect sound being reproduced and output from "0 (0%)" to "1 (100%)". is increased to the maximum value.

Also, in the mute process, the output volume of the effect sound being reproduced and output is set to "0" by executing the process of setting the channel setting ratio of the effect sound being reproduced and output to "0 (0%)". executed. Note that while the mute is being executed, the output volume is "0", but the effect sound itself is being reproduced. When an error notification sound having a high priority to be notified to the player is being output, the other channels "CH0" to "CH11" may all be muted.

In this way, in fade-out, the output volume of the effect sound being reproduced is gradually decreased and finally becomes "0" (for example, 1 (100%) → 0.5 (50%) → 0 ( 0%)), whereas in muting, the output volume of the effect sound being reproduced and output immediately becomes "0" (for example, 1 (100%)→0 (0%)). In other words, mute is control that lowers the output volume of the effect sound (to 0) in a shorter period of time than fade-out, and can be said to be control that lowers the output volume per unit time.

[Production determination process at the time of start winning]
When a start winning occurs, the CPU 103 outputs, out of the determination results at the time of winning, a determination result as to whether or not it will be a big win, a symbol designation command indicating the determination result of the type of the big win, and a variation pattern out of the determination results at the time of winning. and a reserved memory number addition designation command (first reserved memory number addition designation command, second reserved memory number addition designation command) that designates that the number of reserved memories has increased by 1. It is transmitted to the control CPU 120 .

FIG. 8-10 is a flow chart showing the effect determination process at the time of start winning. The effect control CPU 120 executes the start winning effect determination process in the pre-reading notice setting process (step S161) of the effect control process shown in FIG.

In the starting winning effect determination process, the effect control CPU 120 first issues a set of starting winning commands based on the occurrence of the starting winning to the second starting winning port (for example, symbol designation command, variable category designation command , and second reservation storage number addition designation command) is newly received (step S01TM1010).

Specifically, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not one set of symbol designating command, variation category designating command, and second reserved memory number addition designating command are newly stored in the start winning command storage area. do. If the command for one set of starting winnings has not been newly received (NO in step S01TM1010), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process as it is.

When one set of starting winning commands is newly received (YES in step S01TM1010), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a change prefetch prohibition flag (described later) is set (step S01TM1020). If the change look-ahead prohibition flag is set (YES in step S01TM1020), effect control CPU 120 advances the process to step S01TM1080.

In this embodiment, the change look-ahead prohibition flag is a kind of flag that is set based on the determination that at least one change effect (suspended change effect, active change effect) is to be executed. Since the processing of steps S01TM1030 to S01TM1070 is skipped by setting the change look-ahead prohibition flag, it is possible to execute a change effect on the pending memory whose execution is suspended or the active display currently being executed. In the determined state, it is possible to limit the execution of the change performance for changing the pending display or the active display with respect to the variable display corresponding to the new start winning. This change look-ahead prohibition flag is erased when the variable display corresponding to the effect determination processing at the time of start winning when the change look-ahead prohibition flag is set is completed.

If the change look-ahead prohibition flag is not set (NO in step S01TM1020), the effect control CPU 120 sets the final display mode of the active display to the final display mode determination table of the active display (see FIG. 8-11(A)). (Step S01TM1030).

Next, effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the final display mode of active display is the normal mode (step S01TM1040). If the final display mode of active display is the normal mode (YES in step S01TM1040), effect control CPU 120 advances the process to step S01TM1080.

When the final display mode of the active display is not the normal mode (NO in step S01TM1040), the effect control CPU 120 determines the change pattern of the pending display and the active display in the change pattern determination table (Fig. 8-11 (B1) to Fig. 8- 12 (B4)) (step S01TM1050).

Here, when the final display mode of the active display is not the normal mode (NO in step S01TM1040), it means that the final display mode of the active display is either the blue mode or the red mode. When the final display mode of the active display is either the blue mode or the red mode, the pending display or the active display performs a change effect and is displayed in a mode other than the normal mode, that is, at least one change effect. is executed, so if the final display mode of the active display is not the normal mode (NO in step S01TM1040), it is necessary to determine which change pattern is used to change the pending display or the active display. . Therefore, in the case of NO in step S01TM1040, the change pattern of pending display and active display is determined based on the change pattern determination table in the process of step S01TM1050.

Next, the effect control CPU 120 sets a change look-ahead counter (step S01TM1060) and sets a change look-ahead prohibition flag (step S01TM1070).

In this embodiment, a look-ahead counter is set to indicate the number of variable displays until the variable display targeted for the look-ahead preview effect is executed. In this example, a look-ahead counter that indicates the number of variable display times until a variable display targeted for a change effect in the look-ahead preview effect is executed is referred to as a "variable look-ahead counter". A look-ahead counter that indicates the number of times of variable display until a variable display that is the target of the effect is executed is called an "SP look-ahead counter".

In the case of YES in step S01TM1020, in the case of YES in step S01TM1040, or after step S01TM1070, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the value of the second reserved storage number is 3 or more (step S01TM1080). . If the value of the second reserved memory number is not 3 or more (NO in step S01TM1080), that is, if the value of the second reserved memory number is 1 or 2, the effect control CPU 120 ends the process as it is.

When the value of the second reserved memory number is 3 or more (YES in step S01TM1080), that is, when the value of the second reserved memory number is 3 or 4, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the SP prefetch prohibition flag described later is It is determined whether or not it is set (step S01TM1090). If the SP prefetch prohibition flag is set (YES in step S01TM1090), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process as it is.

In this embodiment, the SP prefetch prohibition flag is a kind of flag that is set based on the determination that the SP prefetch effect, which will be described later, is to be executed. Since the processing of steps S01TM1100 to S01TM1130 is skipped by setting the SP prefetch prohibition flag, it is decided to execute the SP prefetch effect for the pending memory whose execution is suspended. , the execution of the SP look-ahead performance can be limited to the variable display corresponding to the new start winning. This SP prefetch prohibition flag is erased when the variable display corresponding to the effect determination processing at the time of start winning when the SP prefetch prohibition flag is set is completed.

If the SP prefetch prohibition flag is not set (NO in step S01TM1090), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the SP prefetch effect is executed and the effect pattern, and determines whether or not the SP prefetch effect is executed and effect pattern determination table (FIG. 8-13). (see step S01TM1100).

Next, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not it is decided to execute the SP prefetch effect (step S01TM1110). If it is not decided to execute the SP prefetch effect (NO in step S01TM1110), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process as it is.

If it is determined to execute the SP prefetch effect (YES in step S01TM1110), the effect control CPU 120 sets the SP prefetch counter (step S01TM1120), sets the SP prefetch prohibition flag (step S01TM1130), and leaves it as it is. End the process.

[Change effect]
In this embodiment, it is possible to execute a change effect based on the determination result at the time of starting winning. The change effect is a blue mode (in this example, blue This is an example of an advance notice effect displayed in either a red mode (in this example, a red round display).

Specifically, among the change effects, the execution of the hold change effect of displaying the display mode of the hold display in a display mode different from the normal mode (either the blue mode or the red mode) is suspended. It is a pre-reading preview effect that suggests the display result of the reserved memory. In addition, among the change effects, the active change effect in which the display mode of the active display is displayed in a display mode different from the normal mode (either the display mode of the blue mode or the red mode) is the display result of the executed variable display. It is a notice production during fluctuations that suggests. The timing of execution of the change effect and the change pattern of the pending display will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8-11 (B1) to 8-12 (B4).

[SP look-ahead effect]
In this embodiment, the SP prefetch effect can be executed based on the determination result at the time of starting winning. The SP look-ahead effect is a type of look-ahead forewarning effect suggesting that a super ready-to-win effect will be executed in the variable display that is the object of determination at the time of starting winning. In the SP look-ahead effect, an image (in this example, an image of an ally character) related to the Super Reach A effect (battle effect) is displayed in the center of the screen of the image display device 5, thereby providing a variable display of the notice target. , it suggests that the super reach A effect is executed.

In this embodiment, a first pattern and a second pattern are set as effect patterns for the SP prefetch effect. The SP prefetch effect of the first pattern (hereinafter referred to as "SP prefetch effect (first pattern)" as appropriate.) When the SP prefetch counter is set to a value of "n" (n≧3), In the variable display executed when the value of the SP prefetch counter reaches a value of "n-1" to "1", the SP prefetch effect is executed. Further, when the SP prefetch effect of the first pattern is executed, the super reach A effect is executed at a rate of 100% when the variable display for which the SP prefetch effect is announced is executed.

On the other hand, the SP prefetch effect of the second pattern (hereinafter referred to as “SP prefetch effect (second pattern)” as appropriate) has a value of “n” (n≧3) when the SP prefetch counter is set. In some cases, the SP prefetch effect is executed in the variable display executed when the value of the SP prefetch counter reaches the values of "n-1" and "n-2". Also, when the SP prefetch effect of the second pattern is executed, the super reach A effect is not executed even if the variable display that is the target of the advance notice of the SP prefetch effect is executed.

In this embodiment, when controlled to the jackpot game state of a predetermined jackpot type, the special variable prize ball device 7 uses the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable prize ball device 7 having the big prize opening. It is possible to execute an attacker open light emitting effect for notifying that the big winning opening of the special variable winning ball device 7 is in an open state while drawing the player's attention.

In this example, when the game state is controlled to the time saving state or the variable probability state, the jackpot type is either "jackpot X" or "jackpot Z" ("jackpot Z-1", "jackpot Z-2") When the jackpot game state is controlled, at a predetermined timing of the jackpot game state (timing of receiving the jackpot start designation command), the attacker opening light emitting effect is executed.

The attacker open light emitting effect is a effect in which the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 emits light. Execution of the attacker release light emitting effect is started at the timing when the attacker release display of the attacker release display effect is displayed in the lower right portion of the screen of the image display device 5 (the timing of the state (2) of the attacker release display effect), and the attacker is released. The execution ends at the timing when a predetermined period (for example, 0.5 seconds) has passed since the timing when the white-out image of the display effect was displayed on the image display device 5 (Fig. 8-28 (8) to Fig. 8-30 ( 13)).

In this embodiment, a first attacker open light emitting effect and a second attacker open light emitting effect are set as a plurality of types of effect modes of the attacker open light emitting effect. The first attacker open light emission effect is a effect in which the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 emits orange light (in this example, it emits light in an orange light emission mode), and the second attacker open light emission effect is, This is an effect in which the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 emits rainbow color (in this example, it emits light in a rainbow color emission mode).

[Relationship between attacker open display effect and attacker open light emitting effect]
In this embodiment, the attacker open light emission effect is executed, and the first LED lamp 71 provided at the lower right of the image display device 5 emits light, thereby special variable winning having a large winning opening at the lower right of the image display device 5 The player's attention can be drawn to the ball device 7 .

When the states (2) to (4) in the attacker open display effect are executed in a state where the attacker open light emitting effect is executed, the attacker open display is performed from the lower right part of the screen of the image display device 5 to the upper left part of the screen. By displaying by animation operation, the attention of the player can be directed from the lower right portion of the screen of the image display device 5 to the upper left portion of the screen.

In this embodiment, light emission of the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening by the attacker open light emission effect, and attacker release from the lower right part of the screen of the image display device 5 by the attacker open display effect. Since the display and the are related, the effect mode is such that the light emission of the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 having the big winning opening spreads over the screen of the image display device 5. .

That is, as shown in FIG. 8-16(B), at the start of the jackpot game state in which the jackpot type is either "jackpot X" or "jackpot Z", the attacker open light emitting effect and the attacker open display effect are displayed. By executing a series of effects (hereinafter referred to as “attacker release effect” as appropriate), the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 having the big winning opening emits light from the image display device 5. Since the effect is as if it spreads over the screen, the player can select the special variable winning ball device 7 having the big winning opening → the lower right part of the screen of the image display device 5 → the upper left part of the screen of the image display device 5 . It is possible to direct the player's attention to the special variable winning ball device 7 having a large winning opening in the form of including the image display device 5. - 特許庁

In addition, in this embodiment, when the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state, the attacker opening effect is started. Here, the timing (display start timing) for starting the display of the attacker-open display in the attacker-open display effect is defined as "the timing at which the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state". On the other hand, the timing (light emission start timing) for starting the light emission of the first LED lamp in the attacker open light emission effect is defined as "the timing before the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state".

Not limited to such a form, each start timing of the display start timing of the attacker open display in the attacker open display effect and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp in the attacker open light emission effect is described in (TMB1) to (TMB3) below. can be set to any of the timings of
(TMB1) Timing before the special variable winning ball device 7 opens the large winning opening (TMB2) Timing when the special variable winning ball device 7 opens the large winning opening (TMB3) Special variable winning ball device 7 Timing after the big prize mouth is open

That is, the following (B1-1) to (B3-3) are the combinations of the display start timing of the attacker-open display in the attacker-open display effect and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp in the attacker-open light emission effect. can be considered.

(B1-1) When the display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB1" and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB1" (B1-2) The display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB1" Yes and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB2" (B1-3) The case where the display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB1" and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB3"

(B2-1) When the display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB2" and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB1" (B2-2) The display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB2" Yes, and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB2" (B2-3) When the display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB2" and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB3"

(B3-1) When the display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB3" and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB1" (B3-2) The display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB3" Yes and the first LED lamp starts emitting light at "TMB2" (B3-3) When the display starting timing of the attacker release display is "TMB3" and the light emitting starting timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB3"

As described above, in this example, (B2-1) the configuration in which the display start timing of the attacker open display is "TMB2" and the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp is "TMB1" is adopted.

Thus, by setting the light emission start timing of the first LED lamp in the attacker open light emission effect to be "TMB1", it is possible to make it appear as if the first LED lamp is continuously emitting light from the line of sight guidance light emission effect. On the other hand, since the display start timing of the open attacker display in the open attacker display effect is "TMB2", a period is provided in which only the blackout image is displayed after the visual guidance display is displayed, and then the visual guidance display is performed. Since a different attacker open display is displayed, the attacker open display can be displayed with further emphasis.

FIG. 8-17 is an explanatory diagram of a specific example of the effect mode determination table for the line-of-sight guidance effect and the attacker release effect.

As shown in FIG. 8-17, when the variation display is executed when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", in the first line-of-sight guidance display effect among the line-of-sight guidance effects, the blue line-of-sight guidance display is displayed as an image. It is displayed on the display device 5, and the first LED lamp 71 emits light in a blue light emission mode in the first visual guidance light effect.

Then, when the jackpot game state is controlled in the case where the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the blue attacker open display is displayed on the image display device 5 in the first attacker open display effect among the attacker open effects. , In the first attacker open light emission effect, the first LED lamp 71 emits light in an orange light emission mode.

In this way, when the jackpot type is the "jackpot X", the blue line-of-sight guidance display of the first line-of-sight guidance display effect and the blue attacker release display of the first attacker release display effect are displayed on the image display device 5. Since the effect mode (color=display color) is common, it is possible to emphasize that the line-of-sight guidance effect and the attacker release effect are a series of effects.

In addition, when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the effect mode of the blue light emission mode of the first visual guidance light emission effect and the orange light emission mode of the first attacker open light emission effect displayed on the image display device 5 ( Due to the difference in color (emission color), the attacker release effect has started in the series of effects, i.e., the special variable winning ball device 7 has been opened. can be clarified.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-17, when the variation display is executed when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", the second line-of-sight guidance display effect among the line-of-sight guidance effects is the rainbow color line-of-sight guidance. A display is displayed on the image display device 5, and the first LED lamp 71 emits light in a rainbow-colored light emission mode in the second visual guidance light effect.

Then, when the jackpot game state in which the jackpot type is "jackpot Z" is controlled, the rainbow-colored attacker open display is displayed on the image display device 5 in the second attacker open display performance among the attacker open performances. In the second attacker open light emission effect, the first LED lamp 71 emits light in a rainbow color light emission mode.

In this way, when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", the rainbow-colored line-of-sight guide display of the second line-of-sight guidance display effect and the rainbow-colored attacker open of the second attacker open display effect are displayed on the image display device 5. By sharing the presentation mode (color=display color) with the display, it is possible to emphasize that the line-of-sight guidance presentation and the attacker release presentation are a series of presentations.

In addition, when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", the rainbow-colored luminous mode of the second line-of-sight guidance luminous presentation and the rainbow-colored luminous mode of the second attacker open luminous presentation displayed on the image display device 5. By having the aspect (color=light emission color) in common, it is possible to emphasize that the line-of-sight guidance effect and the attacker release effect are a series of effects.

In the present embodiment, when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", the production mode (display color, luminous color) of the line-of-sight guidance production and the production mode (display color, luminous color) of the attacker opening production are the same rainbow This is a mode of color, and it is possible to emphasize that the line-of-sight guidance effect and the attacker release effect are a series of effects, and the jackpot type (jackpot Z = 10R jackpot) can be emphasized, and interest can be improved.

[Production decision processing at the start of fluctuation]
When starting variable display of special symbols, the CPU 103 executes a display result designation command for designating a display result, a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern, and a reserved memory number subtraction designation command (first reserved memory number subtraction designation command or the second reservation storage number subtraction designation command) to the effect control CPU 120.

The effect control CPU 120 issues a reserved memory number subtraction designation command (first reserved Memory number subtraction designation command or second reserved memory number subtraction designation command), display result designation command for designating the display result (jackpot, or hit, jackpot type in the case of a big hit, etc.), and the fluctuation time of the special symbol and Variation display of special symbols is executed based on the fact that a set of commands called a variation pattern specification command specifying the effect content (reach, pseudo-run, etc.) is received from the game control microcomputer 100, and , It is possible to specify the fluctuation time of the special symbol and the contents of the production (reach and pseudo consecutive etc.).

In addition, the effect control CPU 120, when the variable display of the special symbols is completed and the display result is determined, based on the reception of the symbol confirmation designation command from the game control microcomputer 100, special symbols (first special It is possible to specify that the variable display of the symbol (or the second special symbol) has ended and the display result has been derived.

FIG. 8-18 is a flow chart showing effect determination processing executed at the start of fluctuation. The effect control CPU 120 executes the variable start time effect determination process shown in FIGS. 8-18 in the variable display start setting process (step S171) of the effect control process shown in FIG. Specifically, when the effect control CPU 120 receives the above-described one set of commands associated with the start of the variable display of the special symbols, the variable display of the decorative symbols corresponding to the variable display of the special symbols is designated as a display result. A production control pattern (collection of control data for instructing the display control unit 123 to execute the production) to be executed based on the command and the variation pattern specification command is set, and a decorative pattern based on the specified variation pattern is set. The effect to be executed (and the effect not to be executed) during the variable display is determined by the effect determination process at the start of variation shown in FIG. 8-18.

First, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the display result specified by the display result specifying command (the display result of the variable display to be executed from now on) is a "jackpot" (step S01TM2010). If the display result specified by the display result specifying command (the display result of the variable display to be executed from now on) is not a "jackpot" (that is, the display result specified by the display result specifying command (the display result of the variable display to be executed from now on) ) is "missing") (NO in step S01TM2010), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process as it is.

When the display result specified by the display result specifying command (the display result of the variable display to be executed from now on) is a "jackpot" (YES in step S01TM2010), the effect control CPU 120 controls the big win specified by the display result specifying command. It is determined whether or not the type (jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed from now on) is either "jackpot A" or "jackpot B" (step S01TM2020).

If the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (the jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed from now on) is either "jackpot A" or "jackpot B" (YES in step S01TM2020), Effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the movable body effect (pattern A) (step S01TM2030), and ends the process.

If the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed from now on) is neither "jackpot A" nor "jackpot B" (NO in step S01TM2020), production The control CPU 120 determines whether or not the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed) is the "jackpot X" (step S01TM2040).

When the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (the jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed from now on) is "jackpot X" (YES in step S01TM2040), the effect control CPU 120 It is decided to execute the line-of-sight guidance display effect (step S01TM2050), it is decided to execute the first line-of-sight guidance light effect (step S01TM2060), and the process ends.

If the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (the jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed from now on) is not "jackpot X" (NO in step S01TM2040), the effect control CPU 120 specifies the display result. It is determined whether or not the jackpot type specified by the command (the jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed from now on) is the "jackpot Y" (step S01TM2070).

If the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (the jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed from now on) is "jackpot Y" (YES in step S01TM2070), the effect control CPU 120 is a movable body. It is decided to execute the first part of the effect (pattern B) (step S01TM2080), and the process ends.

If the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (the jackpot type of the display result "jackpot" of the variable display to be executed) is not "jackpot Y" (that is, the jackpot type specified by the display result specifying command (to be executed If the display result “jackpot” of the displayed variable display is “jackpot Z” (NO in step S01TM2070), the effect control CPU 120 decides to execute the movable body effect (pattern A). (Step S01TM2090), it is determined to execute the second visual guidance display effect (step S01TM2100), it is determined to execute the second visual guidance light emission effect (step S01TM2110), and the process ends.

[Production determination process at the start of the jackpot]
FIG. 8-19 is a flow chart showing effect determination processing executed during a big hit. The effect control CPU 120 executes the effect determination process at the start of the big hit shown in FIGS. Specifically, upon receiving the jackpot start designation command, the performance control CPU 120 determines the performance to be executed (and the performance not to be executed) at the start of the big win by the performance determination process at the start of the big win shown in FIG. 8-19.

First, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is "jackpot X" (step S01TM3010).

In this embodiment, the big-hit start designation command designates the big-hit type in addition to the designation of starting the big-hit. In this case, a plurality of types of jackpot start designation commands may be set as the jackpot start designation command.

For example, a first jackpot start designation command that designates the start of a jackpot of "jackpot A", a second jackpot start designation command that designates the start of a jackpot of "jackpot B", and "jackpot X". A third jackpot start designation command that designates the start of the jackpot, a fourth jackpot start designation command that designates the start of the jackpot that will be "jackpot Y", and a jackpot that will be "jackpot Z-1". A fifth jackpot start designation command for designating the start and a sixth jackpot start designation command for designating the start of a “jackpot Z-2” jackpot are set.

When the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is "jackpot X" (YES in step S01TM3010), the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the first attacker open display effect (step S01TM3020), It is decided to execute the 1-attacker open light emission effect (step S01TM3030), and the process is terminated as it is.

When the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is not "jackpot X" (NO in step S01TM3010), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is "jackpot Y". (step S01TM3040).

When the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is "jackpot Y" (YES in step S01TM3040), the production control CPU 120 decides to execute the second part of the movable body production (pattern B) ( Step S01TM3050), it is determined whether or not the game state at the time of the occurrence of the big hit was the variable probability state (step S01TM3060). If the game state when the big hit occurs is not the variable probability state (NO in step S01TM3060), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process as it is.

When the game state when the big hit occurs is a variable probability state (YES in step S01TM3060), the effect control CPU 120 changes the sound effect type of the sound effect D based on the number of times of remaining time reduction control to the sound effect type at the time of the big hit Y. It is determined based on the sound effect type determination table (see FIG. 8-20) of sound effect D (step S01TM3070), and the process is terminated as it is.

When the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is not "jackpot Y" (NO in step S01TM3040), the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is "jackpot Z". (step S01TM3080).

When the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is not "jackpot Z" (that is, when the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is either "jackpot A" or "jackpot B") (step S01TM3080 NO), the effect control CPU 120 ends the process as it is.

When the jackpot type designated by the jackpot start designation command is "jackpot Z" (YES in step S01TM3080), the effect control CPU 120 determines to execute the second attacker open display effect (step S01TM3090), It is decided to execute the 2-attacker open light emission effect (step S01TM3100), and the process is terminated as it is.

[Table to be referred to in the production determination process at the start of the jackpot]
FIG. 8-20 is an example of a sound effect type determination table for the sound effect D when the big win Y occurs, which is referred to when determining the sound effect type of the sound effect D in step S01TM3070 of the effect determination process at the start of the big win.

<Sound effect type determination table for sound effect D>
FIG. 8-20 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the sound effect type determination table for the sound effect D when the big hit Y occurs. As shown in FIG. 8-20, in this embodiment, any one of "sound effect D1", "sound effect D2", and "sound effect D3" is selected as the sound effect type of sound effect D, and the remaining time reduction control It can be determined according to the number of times.

As shown in FIG. 8-20, when the number of remaining time-saving controls is 51 to 69 times, the sound effect type of the sound effect D is "sound effect D1", and the number of remaining time-saving controls is 20 to 50 times. In this case, the sound effect type of the sound effect D is "sound effect D2", and when the remaining time saving control count is 0 to 19 times, the sound effect type of the sound effect D is "sound effect D3".

In this embodiment, when the variable display of time saving control and probability variation control of the prescribed number of times is executed, it is configured to end the ST state. Therefore, the remaining time-saving control number of times when it is controlled in the ST state, since it becomes a common value with the remaining ST control number of times, in FIG. 8-20, remaining time-saving control number of times = remaining ST control number of times.

In this example, the "sound effect D1" (character voice "It's a continuous hit") determined when the remaining time reduction control number of times is 51 to 69 times is when the remaining time reduction control number (remaining ST control number) is large That is, when the game is controlled to the ST state and a big hit occurs at an early stage, the content suggests that the game has been played in succession, and the effect sound has the content of congratulating the successive big wins.

In addition, "sound effect D2" (character voice "still") determined when the number of remaining time reduction control is 20 to 50 times is the remaining time reduction control number (remaining ST control number) is "sound effect D1" When it is less than when it is reproduced and output is more than when "sound effect D3" is reproduced, that is, when it is controlled to ST state and it becomes a big hit in the middle stage, in the late stage of ST state This is a performance sound with a content (content related to the player's feelings) suggesting that a big win occurs in a state where there is no big win but not in an early stage, and that control is again made to the ST state after the big win.

In addition, the "sound effect D3" (character voice "not finished here") determined when the remaining time reduction control number (remaining ST control number) is 0 to 19 times is the remaining time reduction control number (remaining ST control number of times) is less than the case where the "sound effect D2" is reproduced, that is, when the big hit occurs at the final stage after being controlled to the ST state, the big hit occurs at the late stage of the ST state, This is an effect sound with a content (content related to the player's feelings) suggesting that the game will be controlled to the ST state again after the big win.

[Example of production when various big hits occur]
8-21 to 8-24, 8-25 to 8-30, 8-31 to 8-33, and 8- 34 to FIGS. 8-40.

In these figures, the special variable winning ball device 7 is shown on the lower right side of the image display device 5, and the speakers 8L and 8R are shown on the upper right side of the image display device 5 for convenience of explanation of the example of the effect. ing. The actual positional relationship of each device (image display device 5, special variable winning ball device 7, speakers 8L, 8R) in this embodiment is as shown in FIG. 8-1.

Also, these figures may show an example of a mode in which the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 emits light, but this is an example of a characteristic mode in this embodiment. Even if the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 does not emit light (turns off), it emits light in one of the modes. It shall be acceptable.

Similarly, there are cases in which an example in which the sound effects are reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R is shown, but this is only a characteristic example in this embodiment, and the speakers 8L and 8R Even if an example in which no effect sound is reproduced is shown, any effect sound may be reproduced and output.

[Example of production when jackpot A and jackpot B occur]
8-21 to 8-24, examples of effects when either "big win A" or "big win B" (that is, "3R big win") occur will be described.

FIG. 8-21 is a time chart showing the execution timing of each related effect when either "jackpot A" or "jackpot B" occurs, and FIGS. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an effect image related to the occurrence of either "A" or "big hit B".

In this example, when the production mode is controlled to [Normal mode], the variable display of the first special symbol is executed in which the display result is "big win" (either "big win A" or "big win B"). After that, it shall be controlled to the jackpot game state.

In FIGS. 8-21 to 8-24, the variation display of the first special symbol whose variation pattern is "super reach C big hit" is executed, and when it develops into super reach (super reach C production (story production )), an example of the effect from the time when the effect of informing the display result (the effect of stopping and displaying the combination of decorative symbols with the display result of "big hit") is executed. Hereinafter, among the effects for informing the display result, the effect in which the combination of decorative symbols that result in the display result being a "big win" is stopped and displayed will be appropriately referred to as "symbol matching effect".

First, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (1), the CPU 103 executes the variable display of the first special symbol, and the timing at which the symbol matching effect during the super reach C in the variation pattern should be executed (FIG. 8- 21), the effect control CPU 120 executes a pattern-matching effect, and the combination of decorative patterns (in this example, "444 ”) is stopped.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the variable display of the small symbols in the small symbol display areas 5l, 5c, and 5r of the image display device 5. FIG. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 causes the active display area 01TM03E to display the normal mode active display 01TM03 corresponding to the variable display currently being executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (2), at the timing (timing of T2A to T2B shown in FIG. 8-21) to execute the movable body production (pattern A) in the variation pattern, the production control CPU 120 A movable body effect (pattern A) is executed to move the movable body 01TM10 from the initial position to the effect position.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the movable body light emitting effect, and causes the movable body LED lamp 01TM11 provided on the movable body 01TM10 to emit light in rainbow colors. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 causes the entire screen of the image display device 5 to display the blackout image 01TM50B. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 reproduces and outputs the effect sound C from the speakers 8L and 8R.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-22 (3), at the timing (timing T3 shown in FIG. 8-21) 1.5 seconds after the start of the movable body production (pattern A), the production control CPU 120 continues to execute the movable body effect (pattern A), and continues to position the movable body 01TM10 at the effect position. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes a movable body extinguishing effect to extinguish the movable body LED lamp 01TM11.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 performs the process of muting the effect sound C from the speakers 8L and 8R by setting the channel setting ratio of "CH4" to "0 (0%)".

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (4), at the timing (timing T4 shown in FIG. 8-21) 2.5 seconds after the start of the movable body production (pattern A), the production control CPU 120 continues to execute the movable body effect (pattern A), and continues to position the movable body 01TM10 at the effect position. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes the movable body light emitting effect, and causes the movable body LED lamp 01TM11 to emit rainbow light again.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 causes the entire screen of the image display device 5 to display the effect image 01TM50E. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 reproduces and outputs the effect sound C from the speakers 8L and 8R by setting the channel setting ratio of "CH4" to "1 (100%)".

Next, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (5), at the timing (timing of T5A to T5B shown in FIG. 8-21) 4 seconds after the start of the movable body production (pattern A), the production control CPU 120 ends the movable body rendering (pattern A) and moves the movable body 01TM10 from the rendering position to the initial position. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 ends the movable body light emitting effect and turns off the movable body LED lamp 01TM11.

At this time, the effect control CPU 120 executes an achievement effect, and displays a story on the image display device 5 indicating that the story in Super Reach C has reached the end (in this example, ally characters 01TM20C and "Congratulations" are displayed). characters) are displayed, and a combination of decorative patterns ("444" in this example) that results in a "jackpot" display result is displayed in the pattern display areas 5L, 5C and 5R.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8-23 (6), at the timing when the CPU 103 ends the variable display of the first special symbol (timing of T6 shown in FIG. The CPU 120 fixes and stops the final combination of decoration symbols ("444" in this example) in the symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R.

(period after T6B after T5 shown in FIG. 8-31), the second part of the movable body production (pattern B) is completed, and the movable body 01TM10 moves from the production position to the initial position (position ), the image display device 5 displays a jackpot round image and an emphasis right-handed promotion display 01TM36, and the first LED lamp 71 is set to a jackpot round light emission mode (in this example, a light emission color corresponding to the BGM (music Z1)). ) to emit light.

According to such a configuration, the movable body effect is continuously executed over the predetermined period of the period during which the variable display is executed and the specific period of the period during which the jackpot game state is controlled. Therefore, there is no need to limit the execution period of the movable body performance within the variable display period, nor the need to limit it within the control period of the jackpot game state. As a result, the movable body performance can be executed at an appropriate timing according to the game situation (the situation in the variable display, the situation in the jackpot game state), and the movable body performance can improve the interest. In addition, by ending the movable body performance in response to the opening of the special variable winning ball device 7, the player can feel a sense of speed due to the switching of the performance and the special variable winning ball device. It is possible to direct the player's attention to 7 and concentrate on the game of winning the game ball into the big winning hole.

(Means 01-8)
As shown in FIGS. 8-22 to 8-23, when the game state is the normal state and the display result of the variation display of the first special symbol that is mainly executed is "jackpot", the variation display is When being executed (timing of T2A to T2B shown in FIG. 8-21), the movable body effect (pattern A) is executed, and the movable body 01TM10 is operated (positioned) from the initial position to the effect position. Before the end of the variable display (timing of T5A to T5B shown in FIG. 8-21), the movable object effect (pattern A) is ended, and the movable object 01TM10 is moved (positioned) from the effect position to the initial position. there is

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 8-32 to 8-33, the game state is the time saving state or the ST state, and the display result of the variation display of the second special symbol that is mainly executed is "big hit" (big hit When the type is "jackpot Y"), the first part of the movable body effect (pattern B) is displayed while the variable display is being performed (period of T2A to T3 (T4) shown in FIG. 8-31). This is executed, and the movable body 01TM10 is operated (positioned) from the initial position to the performance position. Then, the second part of the movable body presentation (pattern B) is executed until a predetermined timing (period of T4 to T6B shown in FIG. 8-31) when the jackpot game state is controlled after the end of the variable display. Then, the movable body 01TM10 is operated (positioned) from the initial position to the performance position. Then, in response to the special variable winning ball device 7 being in the open state (in this example, after the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state, T6B after T5 shown in FIG. 8-31) period), the second part of the movable body rendering (pattern B) is completed, and the movable body 01TM10 is moved (positioned) from the rendering position to the initial position.

According to such a configuration, when the game state is controlled to the normal state, it is possible to celebrate the occurrence of the big win using the movable body presentation during the variable display period, thereby improving the interest in the normal state. be able to.

On the other hand, when the game state is controlled to the time saving state or the ST state, the movable body effect can be executed over the period during which the variable display is executed and the period during which the jackpot game state is controlled. Since it is possible, it is possible to congratulate the occurrence of a big hit by using the movable body performance during the variable display period, and to give a sense of the speed of the game by switching the game situation during the execution period of the movable body performance. is also possible.

(Effect 01-9)
As shown in FIG. 8-20, when the number of remaining time saving control is 51 to 69 times, the sound effect type of sound effect D is "sound effect D1", and the remaining time saving control number of times is 20 to 50 times. In some cases, the sound effect type of the sound effect D is "sound effect D2", and when the remaining time reduction control number is 0 to 19 times, the sound effect type of the sound effect D is "sound effect D3", It is determined.

"Sound effect D1" (character voice "It's a continuous hit") determined when the remaining time saving control number of times is 51 to 69 times is when the remaining time saving control number (remaining ST control number) is large, that is, ST It is a production sound that suggests that the game has been played in succession when a big hit is achieved at an early stage under the control of the state, and is a production sound that congratulates the successive big wins.

In addition, "sound effect D2" (character voice "still") determined when the number of remaining time reduction control is 20 to 50 times is the remaining time reduction control number (remaining ST control number) is "sound effect D1" When it is less than when it is reproduced and output is more than when "sound effect D3" is reproduced, that is, when it is controlled to ST state and it becomes a big hit in the middle stage, in the late stage of ST state This is a performance sound with a content (content related to the player's feelings) suggesting that a big win occurs in a state where there is no big win but not in an early stage, and that control is again made to the ST state after the big win.

In addition, the "sound effect D3" (character voice "not finished here") determined when the remaining time reduction control number (remaining ST control number) is 0 to 19 times is the remaining time reduction control number (remaining ST control number of times) is less than the case where the "sound effect D2" is reproduced, that is, when the big hit occurs at the final stage after being controlled to the ST state, the big hit occurs at the late stage of the ST state, This is an effect sound with a content (content related to the player's feelings) suggesting that the game will be controlled to the ST state again after the big win.

In this way, when the ST state is controlled, the type of the character voice reproduced and output from the speakers 8L and 8R is changed according to the number of fluctuations (remaining time reduction (ST) control count) when a big hit occurs. Thus, the interest in the game in the ST state can be improved. In this embodiment, since the character voices of various types have contents related to the feelings of the player according to the remaining number of times of ST control, to improve the interest when a big win occurs in the ST state. can be done.

(Effect 01-10)
As shown in FIGS. 8-35 to 8-36, when the display result is "big hit" and the big hit type is "big hit Z", when the variable display is executed (T2A to FIG. 8-34 shown in T2B timing), the movable body effect (pattern A) is executed, the movable body 01TM10 is moved (positioned) from the initial position to the effect position, and before the change display ends (Fig. 8-34 Timing T5A to T5B shown), the movable body rendering (pattern A) is completed, and the movable body 01TM10 is moved (positioned) from the rendering position to the initial position.

Before the special variable winning ball device 7 becomes an open state in the jackpot game state controlled after the execution of the variable display (period of T6 to T12, which is the timing before T13 shown in FIG. 8-34), the second line of sight A guidance display effect is executed, and the image display device 5 is caused to display a rainbow-colored line-of-sight guidance display 01TM60R. The rainbow-colored visual guide display 01TM60R moves from the upper left to the lower right of the screen (that is, toward the position of the special variable winning ball device 7), and the special variable winning ball is located at the lower right of the image display device 5. Since the device 7 is provided, the player's line of sight is guided from the image display device 5 to the special variable winning ball device 7 .

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8-39 (13) and (14), when the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state in the jackpot game state (timing of T13 shown in FIG. 8-34), in advance The second attacker open display performance that has been executed is continued, and the rainbow attacker open display 01TM70R is displayed on the image display device 5 in response to the opening of the special variable winning ball device 7.例文帳に追加. The rainbow attacker open display 01TM70R is an image in which light is emitted from the lower right part of the screen to the upper left part (that is, in a direction away from the position of the special variable winning ball device 7), just like the special variable winning ball device 7. Since it produces a performance effect that gives an impression as if light is emitted from an opening, it is possible to emphasize that the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened.

According to such a configuration, during the period in which the variable display is executed in which the display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win Z", a big win is generated by the movable body production, and the big win type is "big win." Z" can be celebrated, and the interest at the time of occurrence of the "jackpot Z" can be improved.

Further, when the variable display for generating the big win Z is executed, the rainbow-colored line of sight displayed on the image display device 5 before being controlled to the big win game state (before the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened). By the guide display 01TM60R, the player's attention can be directed from the image display device 5 to the special variable winning ball device 7, and the player can concentrate on the game of the big win Z which is particularly advantageous for the player.

In addition, in the jackpot game state that is controlled after the execution of the variable display, when the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state, the rainbow attacker open display 01TM70R displayed on the image display device 5 causes the player to attention can be directed from the special variable winning ball device 7 to the image display device 5.

In this way, when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", the movable body effect is executed before the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened, and the image display device is displayed from before to when the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened. 5 and the first LED lamp 71 cooperate to execute an effect related to the position of the special variable winning ball device 7, thereby emphasizing the opening of the special variable winning ball device 7, Amusement can be improved in a series of scenes until the game is controlled to the jackpot game state.

(Effect 01-11)
As shown in FIGS. 8-22 to 8-23, when the game state is the normal state and the display result of the variation display of the first special symbol that is mainly executed is "jackpot", the variation display is When being executed (timing of T2A to T2B shown in FIG. 8-21), the movable body effect (pattern A) is executed, and the movable body 01TM10 is operated (positioned) from the initial position to the effect position. Before the end of the variable display (timing of T5A to T5B shown in FIG. 8-21), the movable object effect (pattern A) is ended, and the movable object 01TM10 is moved (positioned) from the effect position to the initial position. there is

According to such a configuration, when the game state is controlled to the normal state, it is possible to congratulate the occurrence of a big hit using the movable body presentation during the variable display period, thereby improving the interest in the normal state. can be made In addition, by completing the movable body performance within the variable display period, the player can concentrate on the big win game (the game of winning the game balls in the special variable winning ball device 7) during the period of the big win game state.

(Effect 01-12)
As shown in FIG. 8-4 (A2-1), [for big hit X] In the variation pattern determination table, 1 to 997 out of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3 are "high-speed reach big hit" assigned to a variation pattern. The variation time of the variation pattern of this "high-speed reach jackpot" is 5000 ms.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8-4 (A2-2), in the [for big hit Y] variation pattern determination table, 1 to 200 out of the range 1 to 997 of the determination value of MR3 are "high-speed reach big hits". , 201 to 600 are assigned to the variation pattern of "super reach A jackpot", and 601 to 997 are assigned to the variation pattern of "super reach B jackpot via high-speed non-reach". The variation time of the variation pattern of "super reach A jackpot" is 12000 ms, and the variation time of the variation pattern of "super reach B jackpot via high-speed non-reach" is 15000 ms.

That is, in the variation display where the display result is "big win" and the big win type is "big win X", the variation pattern of "high speed reach big win" is selected at a rate of 100%. On the other hand, in the variation display in which the display result is "jackpot" and the jackpot type is "jackpot Y", the variation pattern of "high-speed reach jackpot", the variation pattern of "super reach A jackpot", and the "high-speed non-reach via super Reach B big hit” variation pattern is selected.

According to such a configuration, even if there is a "jackpot X" that is not advantageous to the player in terms of the number of awarded balls, etc. than the "jackpot Y", it is the most effective in the time-saving state or the ST state. By selecting 100% of the variation pattern of ``high-speed reach big win'' with a short variation time, it is possible to realize a game with a good tempo until the next big win.

In addition, even when a "jackpot Y" that is more advantageous to the player in terms of the number of prize balls given than the "jackpot X" occurs, the fluctuation pattern of the "high-speed reach jackpot" occurs in the time-saving state and the ST state. When selected, a game with a good tempo can be realized until the next big hit. Further, even when a variation pattern other than the "high-speed reach big win" with a long variation time is selected, the degree of advantage is high when a big win occurs, so that the player can have expectations. .

[Other Modifications]
(1) In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the decorative patterns are composed of numerical patterns including numbers. good.

For example, it is composed of a gold decorative pattern containing the English letters "V" and "MAX" and a red decorative pattern containing only the English letter "V". When the combination of gold decorative patterns containing the alphabet "V" and "MAX" is stopped and displayed, the occurrence of a jackpot whose jackpot type is "jackpot Z" is reported, and a red color pattern containing only the alphabet "V" is displayed. When the combination of decoration symbols is stopped and displayed, it may be notified that a big win with a big win type of "big win Y" has occurred.

(2) In the above embodiment, "jackpot X", "jackpot Y", and "jackpot Z" ("jackpot Z-1" and "jackpot Z-2") are the jackpot types corresponding to the second special symbols. Although the example provided is shown, the type of jackpot corresponding to the second special symbol is not limited to such a form. A jackpot type different from the jackpot Z-2”) may be provided. For example, a "jackpot X2" may be provided as a "2R jackpot" in which the number of rounds in the jackpot is two.

(3) In the above-described embodiment, when the number of variable displays that can be executed in a high probability state (time saving state) without the occurrence of the next big hit after the end of the jackpot game is 70 times, the ST state (time saving state ) shows an example in which the table referred to when determining the variation pattern of the 1st to 69th rotation and the table referred to when determining the variation pattern of the 70th rotation are different. Instead, a table to be referred to when determining a variation pattern may be set according to a rotation speed range different from this.

For example, in the ST state (time saving state), (1) a table to refer to when determining the variation pattern of the 1st to 20th rotations, and (2) a table to refer to when determining the variation pattern of the 21st to 60th rotations and (3) the table referred to when determining the variation pattern of the 61st to 70th rotations may be different.

(1) The table referred to when determining the variation pattern for the 1st to 20th rotations is composed of the variation pattern with the shortest variation time, and (2) when determining the variation pattern for the 21st to 60th rotations. The table to be referred to is configured so that the rate of selection of a variation pattern with a longer variation time is higher than in the case of (1), and is referred to when determining the variation pattern of (3) the 61st to 70th rotations. This table is configured so that the rate of selection of a variation pattern with a longer variation time is higher than in the case of (2).

(4) In the above embodiment, when the variable display of the predetermined jackpot type is executed, when the movable body effect is executed, according to the number of remaining time reduction control, playback output from the speakers 8L, 8R Although an example in which the type of sound effect to be performed is different has been shown, it is not limited to such a form, and the mode of production using a device different from the speakers 8L and 8R may be changed according to the number of remaining time saving controls.

For example, when the variable display of the predetermined jackpot type is executed, when the movable body production is executed, the image display device 5 corresponds to the sound effect D1 to the sound effect D3 according to the number of times of the remaining time reduction control. You may display characters that When the remaining time-saving control number of times is 51 to 69 times, the characters "continuous hit" are displayed on the image display device 5, and when the remaining time-saving control number of times is 20 to 50 times, the image display device 5 , and if the number of remaining time-saving control is 0 to 19 times, the image display device 5 may display the characters "not finished here".

(5) In the above embodiment, in the case of "jackpot Z", an example is shown in which the production mode of the line-of-sight guidance lighting effect and the lighting mode of the attacker open lighting effect are common, but not limited to such a form , In the case of "jackpot Z", the performance mode of the line-of-sight guidance lighting performance and the lighting mode of the attacker open lighting performance may be made different.

For example, in the case of a "jackpot Z", when the second line-of-sight guidance lighting effect is executed, the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 emits light in a rainbow-colored light emission mode with low emission brightness. On the other hand, when the second attacker open light emission effect is executed, the first LED lamp 71 provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 is caused to emit light in a rainbow color light emission mode and a high light emission luminance mode.

(6) In the above embodiment, the attacker release effect after the line-of-sight guidance effect is executed is an example of being executed when the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state after being controlled to the jackpot game state. , the attacker release effect may be executed at different timings without being limited to such a form.

The attacker release effect may be defined as a effect in which at least a part of its execution period overlaps with the release period of the special variable winning ball device 7 . For example, at least a part of the execution period of the attacker open display effect may overlap with the open period of the special variable winning ball device 7, and at least a part of the execution period of the attacker open light emitting effect may be a special It may overlap with the open period of the variable winning ball device 7 .

(7) In the above-described embodiment, an example was shown in which an attacker opening effect for notifying that the big winning hole provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 was in an open state was shown. Not limited to this, an effect may be executed to notify that the V winning opening in the big winning opening provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 is in an open state.

For example, during the period during which the V prize should be won during the jackpot round period (in this example, the period during which the V prize opening in the first round is open), the V prize in the big prize opening provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 As a performance for informing that the mouth is in an open state, a V winning mouth open performance is executed. In the V winning mouth opening effect, information indicating that the V winning mouth is open is displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 (characters of "Aim for V", objects similar to visual guidance display, etc.), A V winning hole LED lamp provided in a region where the V winning hole of the special variable winning ball device 7 is provided is made to emit light in a white light emission mode.

It is possible to inform in advance that the big winning hole provided in the special variable winning ball device 7 will be in an open state by executing the line-of-sight guidance performance within the variable display period before being controlled to the big winning game state. By executing the attacker opening effect when the big winning hole is in the open state, it is possible to notify that the big winning hole is (will be) open. Then, when the large winning opening is opened and the V winning opening is opened, the V winning opening in the big winning opening is opened. It is possible to notify that.

(8) In the above-described embodiment, when a big hit occurs during hitting to the right (when it is controlled to either the time saving state or the ST state), an example in which the line of sight guidance effect or the attacker release effect is executed Although shown, it is not limited to such a form, and execution of the line-of-sight guidance effect and the attacker release effect may be restricted when a big hit occurs in a specific state even during right-handed hitting.

For example, when it is controlled to the ST state (high probability / high base state), when a big hit occurs, while line-of-sight guidance production and attacker release production are executed, time saving state (low probability / high base state ), when a big hit occurs, the execution of the line-of-sight guidance effect and the attacker release effect is restricted (or when a big hit occurs when it is not executed or is controlled to the ST state may be performed at a lower rate). In addition, in a state where the number of remaining time-saving controls is large (for example, the number of remaining time-saving controls is 31 to 69 times), when a big hit occurs, line-of-sight guidance production and attacker release production are executed, while the number of remaining time-saving controls is When a big hit occurs in a small state (for example, the number of times the remaining time reduction control is 0 to 30 times), the execution of the line-of-sight guidance production and the attacker release production is restricted (either it is not executed or the number of times the remaining time reduction control is large. It may be executed at a lower rate than when a big hit occurs in the state).

(9) In the above embodiment, the first line-of-sight guidance effect (first line-of-sight guidance display effect, first line-of-sight guidance light emission effect) and first attacker release effect (first attacker open display effect, first attacker open light emission effect) A series of productions consisting of is shown an example that is executed when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", but not limited to such a form, a series of productions consisting of a first visual guidance production and a first attacker release production The effect may be executed when the jackpot type is a jackpot type different from the "jackpot X".

For example, when the jackpot type is either “jackpot X” or “jackpot Y”, the first line-of-sight guidance effect (first line-of-sight display display effect, first line-of-sight guidance light emission effect) and the first attacker opening effect (first A series of performances consisting of 1st attacker release display performance, 1st attacker release light emission performance) is executed. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", the execution of a series of effects is restricted (either not executed or executed at a lower rate than "jackpot X" or "jackpot Y", the first visual guidance effect and only one of the first attacker release effect is executed, only one of the first line of sight guidance display effect and the first line of sight guidance light emission effect is executed, the first attacker open display effect and the first attacker open light emission effect may be executed).

(10) In the above-described embodiment, the movable body effect is continuously executed over a predetermined period of the period during which the variable display is executed and a specific period of the period during which the jackpot game state is controlled. Although the movable body effect (pattern B) is executed when the jackpot type is "jackpot Y", it is not limited to such a form, and the movable body effect (pattern B) is executed when the jackpot type is " It may be executed when the jackpot type is different from the jackpot Y'.

For example, when the jackpot type is either "jackpot Y" or "jackpot Z", the movable body effect (pattern B) is executed. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the movable body effect (pattern B) is not executed. When the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", the movable body performance (pattern A) can be executed, and then the movable body performance (pattern B) can be executed. It is possible to further enhance the performance effect of congratulating the "jackpot Z", which is the jackpot type, and to improve the interest.

(11) In the above embodiment, the second line-of-sight guidance effect (second line-of-sight guidance display effect, second line-of-sight guidance light effect) and second attacker release effect (second attacker open display effect, second attacker open light effect) A series of effects consisting of is shown an example that is executed when the jackpot type is "jackpot Z", but not limited to such a form, a series of effects consisting of a second line of sight guidance effect and a second attacker release effect The effect may be executed when the jackpot type is a jackpot type different from "jackpot Z".

For example, when the jackpot type is either “jackpot Y” or “jackpot Z”, the second visual guidance effect (second visual guidance display effect, second visual guidance light emission effect) and the second attacker opening effect (second A series of effects consisting of two attacker open display effects and second attacker open light emitting effects are executed. On the other hand, when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the execution of a series of effects is restricted (either not executed or executed at a rate lower than "jackpot Y" or "jackpot Z", a second line of sight guidance effect and only one of the second attacker release effect is executed, only one of the second line of sight guidance display effect and the second line of sight guidance light emission effect is executed, the second attacker open display effect and the second attacker open light emission effect may be executed).

(12) In the above embodiment, the image display device 5 and the light-emitting device (the first LED lamp 71) provided in the big prize gate are used to draw the player's attention from the image display device 5 to the big prize gate. An example of executing effects (visual guidance display effects, visual guidance luminous effects) and effects (attacker open display effects, attacker open luminous effects) directed to the image display device 5 from the big winning opening has been shown. The player's attention is directed from the image display device 5 toward the big prize winning opening by using an effect device different from the image display device 5 and the light emitting device (the first LED lamp 71) provided in the big winning prize gate, regardless of the form. Effect (visual guide display effect, visual guide luminous effect) or directing attention toward the image display device 5 from the big prize opening (attacker open display effect, attacker open luminous effect) may be executed.

For example, when adopting a configuration including a board surface LED lamp, which is an LED lamp provided on the game board of the pachinko game machine 1 and is an LED lamp provided in the upper left part of the image display device 5, board surface LED lamp → image By performing the production (emission/display, etc.) in the order of the display device 5→the first LED lamp, the production effect of drawing attention from the image display device 5 to the big prize opening can be further enhanced. In addition, the production (light emission/display, etc.) is performed in the order of the first LED lamp, the image display device 5, and the board surface LED lamp, thereby further enhancing the production effect of drawing attention from the big prize opening to the image display device 5. can be enhanced.

(13) In the above embodiment, the effect sound (sound effect B (sound effect B1, sound effect B2)) reproduced and output when the attack release effect is executed (hereinafter referred to as "second effect sound"). ) has a higher output volume than the effect sound (sound effect A (sound effect A1, sound effect A2)) (hereinafter referred to as “first sound effect”) that is reproduced and output when the visual guidance effect is executed. Although an example has been shown in which the volume is emphasized (the output volume is large due to the large base volume), the second effect sound is not limited to such a form, and the range of the output sound is greater than that of the first effect sound. The sound may be emphasized more than the first effect sound because the (frequency range) is wide, or the sound may be emphasized more than the first effect sound because the output period of the output sound is long. It may be emphasized more than the first effect sound by using a large number of sound output devices (the number of speakers (number of channels) is large), and by using a different type of output sound (for example, , the first output sound is a sound effect, and the second output sound is a character's voice or a piece of music, so that the first output sound may be emphasized more than the first effect sound.

(14) In the above embodiment, when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the variation pattern of "high-speed reach jackpot" is selected at a rate of 100%. Alternatively, when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the variation pattern of "high speed reach jackpot" may not be selected.

For example, when the jackpot type is "jackpot X", the variation pattern of "high-speed reach jackpot" is selected at a rate of 80%, and the variation pattern of "high-speed non-reach via super reach B jackpot" is selected at a rate of 20%. It may be selected. At this time, when the big win type is 'big win X', the variation pattern of 'high speed reach big win' is selected at a higher rate than when the big win type is 'big win Y'.
